At 3 d. Drive despite the economic slowdown. You know i went to the c. D. C. You. Know to have to. Live in is it would be good for you to be the one to do something and you know it was feast to. Come at you my god you know and im christine to the program its good to have your company we start off in south africa which implemented one of the well strictest walked out very early in the path. Now in april the country closed its borders and went into a virtual shutdown even though the country still had rid us of the few concert. Cases off the coronavirus the governments was hoping to prevent equal laps of the countrys already struggling Healthcare System but the enforcement of the lockdown proved difficult a particularly in south africas townships thats because police and military forces were deployed and there were allegations of Excessive Force not as all correspondents agree and creech reported from cape town. We have joined the Police Patrol in the townships wherever we go everyone runs away because they know they shouldnt be on the streets and they are freight the officers on duty seem anxious they admit they can hardly keep these huge areas under control the enforcement of the lockdown is anything but systematic to pierce render. This man couldnt get away fast enough reason push the use of the logo. You dont have any reason to be. All the little it over. Hes been fined for 1500. 00 grand about 80 euros have that kind of money even though most would be you. Know it was going to my brother dick you know the man says that during their arrest he was kicked and beaten by the police behind the house we couldnt verify this from our position a few blocks away we meet a young woman who doesnt want to show her face shes afraid shell be recognized but she does want to show what the police did to her just for being on the streets she says several officers stormed into her house and detector with sticks and whips and all this in front of her daughter and thats actual metabolism. Ive never i was in pain and. In. Pain in the night how can this mean how can we trust the Police Defend their action in the townships if they dont listen even unfortunately those things happen im not saying that i mean in some communities there its all the members of the public understand they need to see those things and fortunately before they had been doing instructions yes they need to see that theres these c. D. s and the police are not just telling you to go in that is because you know it so well in the least. Actually its difficult for many South Africans to observe the lockdown despite all the warnings. The call for physical distancing goes on he did in these long lines at the supermarkets many day laborers simply cant afford to stay home for long periods. This is the reality for millions of South Africans and although the lock down rules of the 3 weve locked on extremely strict many people are simply not able to comply. Police fear the tension in the townships where was the. States in effect. I guess its worth pointing out 80 that the police werent just heavy handed in south africa we did see it in countries. I mean some cases it was across the board unfortunately i should say but i mean its because christine it was tough luck lockdown was definitely tough. Also heavy toll on businesses across the continent curfews when posts can you know for example and that led to shutdown off nairobi back in august egypt came money went to check that out for us. Ok some about 3 invites you into what we call a local joint is the name suggests its a neighborhood but all these people were seeing here i must leave in less than an hour and i want to find out from the owners and the people who work here how that time crunch has affected their business because. When a normal weekend outside of curfew restrictions what would it look like the normal number would be double the one that youre seeing. Right now when things are in flux right now as you speak to the preferred to go home do you still have staff who have families to be sustained so how are you working that out so weve come to an agreement. We must be able to make ends meet for. The business. Is that weve. Tried to present so theyre getting 80 percent actually getting the. Right person people who also save big want to give us their opinion about the curfew and how its affected them and their partying and coffee is affecting us very much as you can simply may believe. Im flashing didnt because of time it was just years. Every single city across the world has that one place that has not one specialty that you just want to eat after being at the club and here in nairobi its no different but these men and women who prepared these dishes are now being forced out of work early and i want to speak to one of them was just actually closing business how life has been since the curfew before i needed one i would open from about 5 until 10 i would buy 2 packets of meat produce but now im just buying half a packet and so much less. Its truly unbelievable to think that this is a speech that was so vibrant about half an hour ago but this i suppose the effect of the coffee the time now is 2117 and im just going to walk you through some of the spaces weve been through so that you can see the difference this is the pool table where just a few minutes earlier there were people milling about having a good time thats the backyard garden where we were. And the noise that were hearing in the background of a few Staff Members who are left to lockdown and some of them actually have to seek care because of the curfew for the neighbors its really good news because no noise from 9 pm but for the owners it must be really stressful because theyre literally having to shut down 8 hours before theyre normally used to this is usually the time when people in nairobi leave their homes to come into the pubs but this is a state of affairs right now. Well there was even a committee reporting in iraq be at that time now at a time when the coronavirus and their make has caused so many to lose their jobs some in the world of digital os have managed to stay afloat the pandemic has created a space to further debate of africas Digital Economy now i am particularly proud to introduce to you my fellow gun in bed till.

All of them worked really so hard on so many festivities festivities couldnt really happen in this is so we really try hard to make the best out of it and to give the Classical Music a platform pretty tough times speaking of tough times during the 1st lockdown here in germany you helped put together a series of they were called anti corona concerts for the channel with some really top musicians some of them performing even at home was it hard to get them to sign on for this project absolutely not the 1st reaction with all those musicians was yes of course because all of them were we shocked in the 1st time of the corona pandemic and were asking themselves oh god when will it end and so it was really a relief and we asked them to do a little concerts with just want to musicians one of my favorites is the one was nicholas states on the channel on the lake and maybe we have some pictures.

How would that be because he was and still is an inspiration for so many musicians. This is the sound of this is about his symphony. And environmentalists today. So great big music that you mentioned ive seen all 3 of them theyre all on the you tube channel theyre really good and they really make you see beethoven in a completely different light and even though youre didnt go as planned it is the 250th anniversary of his birth this month so we are honoring the great composer lets take a look back at his life and works. Everyone can mean mr beethovens 5th symphony is one of the most famous pieces of music in history its creator beethoven was the definition of genius beethoven is just he is the ultimate expression of music humanism. Politics forward thinking fighting against all odds. Literally fun beethoven was born in bomb in december 770 his father recognized his sons astounding talent beethoven gave his 1st public piano recital age 7. But. He grew up in a politically liberal environment and quickly came in contact with the ideas of the french revolution. It was a difficult time. Every person in difficult time becomes a difficult person. Difficult many music historians we call that an understatement beethoven has been described as grim selfcentered irritable impatient and selfindulgent but could someone like that produce such beautiful music. Music like the 6 symphonies. Maybe all the stereotypes that we thought about beethoven and these famous. Images of bedouin are not true at all. Theres no doubt about the great tragedy of beethovens life but the age of 28 who was nearly completely deaf a man who lived for music for the perfect sand could no longer hear the notes it was in this state in 824 that he composed his masterpiece. The 9th symphony. Beethoven died 3 years later. In vienna where in the citys theatres and concert halls his music made history. Is eternal music. And of course weve got plenty more on beethoven at the ws Classical Music channel on you tube michael its not just about beethoven there you and your colleagues are giving a platform for a living artist as one of us will meet some of the most exciting people from the Classical Music scene like i was a few more than the typical you go live it and the piano player and compose a jigsaw this explains why is it really ok not to like it or not so if they said oh that sounds very controversial and i one of the artists who really impressed me actually was tenor you want to ask weve got some excerpts from our special on him that we can check out now.
