Hello, im kristie wonder its good to have your company. A continent wide assessment to measure preparations for the covert. 19 vaccine has shown that africa is far from being ready to roll out. The vaccination drive 40 countries reporting analysis, which revealed that the continent has an average score of 33 percent readiness. And thats well below the 80 percent benchmark. Now africas c. D. C. Says mess vaccination against kovan 1000. 00 is unlikely to start on the continent until midway through next year. But the countries to ramp up their if its months of intense research, have brought a Coronavirus Vaccine even closer. But experts say thats just one phase done. Getting a vaccine out to the most vulnerable cross africa will be expensive. And the World Health Organization is concerned about the logistical challenges ahead bring order. They are different from the good of the effectiveness of the dozers will need to be monitored and the public educated many on the continent simply want the best deal possible to a far more issues their way to hundreds who make need to be skeptical things to you while the continent has reported relatively low infection figures, the coronavirus is on the rise again, prompting calls for greater urgency in the response. South africa has the corona, virus infections in africa with more than 760000 confirmed cases, and more than 20000 deaths. I am now joined by the chief advisor to south africas Response Team is and if you genealogist, an Infectious Disease specialist, welcome to africa professor, so we have the w. H. O. Saying that africa as a continent is not ready to roll out the vaccine. How does the south african government plan to vaccinate all its 58000000 people . When we look at this particular, unlike anything else we have done, it is a groupie, different situation. Fortunately, the 1st set of vaccines were receiving will be held to really easy to implement because those are going to be among health care workers. So theyre only done through hospital pharmacies and so are its the next groups that are going to be challenging that interest action. Those planning is well on the way in several countries, including ok professor way here in governments around the world and noun, saying the vaccine orders that theyve secured for their countries. And were not hearing so much on governments in africa. Why is that the case . So country is in africa, most of them actually is qualify under the kovacs rules as vast as counties there prove to see vaccines that are subsidized or donated. And all of those countries have opted to secure their vaccines through contract, rather than go to individual companies. And the challenge of going to individual companies is that, and each country can afford to go to 5 Different Companies and hold out at least one of 2 of those vaccines be effective. Or poor patsy who has in a position to do that. We will have to wait to see which vaccines are you fictive and go to those at that time. So we have preorder and prepay need because that is too high, a risk, and we would do not have that. And so thats why you havent seen african countries talking about security eyelash or individual orders who just cant. Rather were going through the kovacs. They say you have been quoted as saying that africa will not be a damping ground for, for vaccines. What did you mean by that . I was making the point that we will simply not accept a vaccine because its 2nd class and nobody else wants it. In the event. We will choose vaccines based on the 5 criteria that we have set out. Knows right here, 1st of all safety. The 2nd is a few casie, then well look at cost, ease a bit ministration, the storage, and then finally with it, its a single or double dose. So were not just made to accept accidents because people are provided to us or sell them to us or cheaper. We will choose vaccines because they are appropriate, and they are the best traces that we can make within the constraints that we have. But they says that in a bill carrier, thank you. The ethiopian region, after cry has been besieged with fighting that broke out of him before when federal troops launched a military operation. Targeted at the region speeches the t. P. M. Live. But emmott imposed a communication blackout on to making it impossible for the wall to know what was happening.

But what does an oscar season in the year 2020 even mean with cinemas, either closed or on the brink thats coming up on arts and culture and the European UnionYouth Orchestra gets its dues for decades of International Music making. And later on every innovative, Chilly Gonzales carobs hip hop, a little 20 come to arts and culture. Critics are starting to weigh in on contenders for next years oscars. And a year when hollywood held back most of its major productions. Are there any front runners amid the flurry of online releases . Away i dont even have a laptop. So im going to put that question now to my colleague, adrian kennedy, intern. This is usually a bad time of year when people are starting to place bets. What might be getting an oscar . What might not be . Can we even start doing that in the year 2020 . When its much more difficult . Movie journalists will be movie journalists if they want, willing to speculate such stuff, and there are few, no brainers. One of them is one nights in miami, as we will see in the trailer. This is a film that focuses on, a meeting between 4 black figures, malcolm x. , the evolutionary book. Somehow, i doubt any american football player, jim brown. And so seeing a sample of the movie based on a play by can power as this is supplied by real life events to take place, the movie suggests is a night that changed the world with malcolm x. Galvanizing december. So that the use of that right . This movement that we are, is called the struggle because were all fighting this thing about civil rights. They give a black people what they really want was a kind of never get power back to me. So i thought it was about work. So i could go ask around on it. What do you think . Thats why i started by jean king who already has an acting oscar, and she could become the 1st black woman to get a best director. Oscar nomination. What else is hard, adrian . Another hot contender is no mans land. This is 3rd feature and it stars Frances Mcdormand as a woman who in the recession following the 2008 financial collapse, leaves the small town home and becomes a band wedding day. No man in the u. S. , it also features real life. And what is it . One of the top prices at both venice and toronto. It could bring dormant best actress. Oscar. He enigmatic doesnt give too much online release on december 4th. Ok, so weve seen some early oscar contenders there. What about the new movies that are just going online now . Any, any buzz there . Well one of the happiest season. This is the 1st coming. Chris spin the love story. It features Kristen Stewarts and Mackenzie Davis as abby and harper the couple and their feet as abbys a friend. And we can take a look at that. I think you would have a perfect relationship. My person and i really want everyone to know that i want to marry her rescue. Are you at that point . Yes, very, sexually attracted to her and here i suppose its up to us is probably not. But its a good, very, very nice film for the coming difficult holiday season. And it could be up for a golden globe because they have a best comedy musical category. In terms of the film, does it have a happy ending . It has been released so viewers can find out for themselves how it isnt coming out for much so many artists and institutions have worked tirelessly this year to keep culture alive. And the european cultural brand award recognizes this year, a Youth Orchestra, a state of the art norwegian library, and a Ukrainian Center for urban history to name a few. Lets see who won top prize. An elegy for a cultural scene under threat in an empty hall with no audience or applause. The 15th cultural brand award took place in a tough year for the sector. But a covert safe ceremony was held nonetheless, to honor exceptional cultural providers and investors live strain from the nikolais in pottstown. We want to make it clear, the culture is still there. Still, it hasnt gone silent on them. And culture can still unite people across borders and build bridges over the winner of the main award. Cultural brand of the year is the European UnionYouth Orchestra, the cultural brilliant 2020. And the orica goes to the European Union. You with orchestra only 2 representatives of the orchestra were allowed to receive the award in person violinist money in class and clarinet esteem, oton, founded in 1976. The e. U. Y. O. Is one of the oldest international Youth Orchestras in the world. Its played more than 1000. 00 concerts under the baton of the worlds leading conductors. Always playing it as a 1st the last time they gave every sing of every moment. Its 100 percent and above at every single. But its also very challenging for a conductor. They will never forgive you if you are not giving this 100 percent. The orchestra is made up of europes best Young Musicians each year 160 new members are chosen from thousands of hopefuls from all e. U. Member states. Candidates are between 16 and 26 years old and are chosen by a jury in their home country. For talented students. It is just an inspirational moves all of us to get a basis in a world that is very troubled. Gives hope. The orchestra has experienced both highs and lows in its 4 and a half decade history, but the sense of Community Among the members has remained strong in the e. U. Y. O. Is like a family, which is one reason why the coronavirus pandemic is hard for the musicians who cant perform or even rehearse together, winning the 2020 a ward for best european cultural brand is not just a highlight. But also yet another milestone in the orchestras, long line of successes. Great. I mean we are always putting so much heart and effort into every single project. Everything that they, everything are rehearsed and so it feels amazing. I mean, and thats where the people behind the management and the board. Everyone is working all year, not just the products. So yes, its a great honor. We enjoy the evening because these kind of evenings this year up quite rare. So we try to enjoy them. This weekend so it seems 2020 had at least one pleasant surprise in store for the European Union u. S. Orchestra. Staying with music for now and one of the most innovative, versatile, and sometimes just plain silly composers around is the canadian air. Popper and classical pianist, Chilly Gonzales. We met up with him at a studio here in germany. Chilly gonzales in his trademark robe and slippers playing one of his piano compositions. The artists quirky breaks with conventions set him apart. While he does respect, Classical Music genres potential for stuffy news is really not his style. Ready thank you. I his performances are provocative, crowd surfing at an orchestra concert. Inconceivable. Until he just did it. Turns out his isnt someone who hides behind the music. Hes a showman. I thank all these rules and all these things that limits your kind of spontaneous reaction to what might be happening. Its profoundly unsexy. It is against all the notion of what i think music should be, which should have a strong contrast and emotions under a giant umbrella. Of fun and who can respect someone who doesnt want to have fun . I cant and gonzalez has fun experimenting with different genres. Classical jazz rock, you name. Surprisingly, Classical Music is where he finds the most freedom more so than in pop or hip hop. Let me just quickly play a reference to rap song, lets say still gerais by dr. Dre. A Classical Musician would find this to be far too flat. I believe. A Classical Musician would say, youre missing opp
