Is struggling to accept it. Hello im christine one guy its good to have your company the findings of a new report suggests that the covert 19 infection rates in nigeria is much higher than has been reported in National Figures the study of antibodies conducted by the countrys center for Disease Control revealed that as much as 23 percent or one in 5 people in lagos state alone had been infected by the time that the survey was done and that was last september and october about what amount to fall 1000000 people again just in lagos and now officially nigeria has reported just under 153900 cases the c. D. C. Noted that a majority of people infected dont show symptoms and would not have been tested. And. Joins me now from lagos good to see you fresh tell us mall about what was revealed in this report. Well in the reports the reports review that one out of 5 people illegals has had a virus now the Nigeria Center for Disease Control and the manger institute for medical Research Conducted this research and they sampled 10000 blood samples from 10000 households across nigeria from the north the south east and the west and the results came in proving that the reason. The initially reported cases of coronary virus do not fully you know review the extant of the pandemic air so you can imagine up to one in 5 people and they got into africas biggest city its also reviewed that more men have been infected by the virus and people in cities more people in the cities than rural. Areas have been affected by the virus speaking ill feed and see when is the rollout expected to start in nigeria. Well we were told to that the vaccines will begin. A new no february what i spoke to the head of the major center for Disease Control last week and he said that there is no nobody knows exactly when they do not know exactly when the vaccine will. Air so while all of that countries are having almost the entire population being vaccinated and you as most even have an idea when the 1st set of oxys without but the government plans to vaccinate or to 40 percent of the population by the end of the see and if you vaccines do and i arrive by the end of february theyre going to be behind in their schedule. How does the government manage the pandemic is the public in support of the nigerian government. Ok at the beginning of the pandemic a lot of people felt like this a virus that the government overreacted by calling for the lockdown and all of that well right now many people now know that the virus exists because if you speak to people outside many people know someone everyone knows someone that knows someone that has. Died from unfortunately died from poor and our virus or has been effected by kuhn our virus so we do know people are where the virus is out there but then there is the level of theres a high level of mistrust from the government of course because of. The corruption that has been the major for such a long time because of several cases over government officials seem to be 19 pylea it seems you know so many things many issues that make people really distrust the government so i think that in general the nigerian. People have not really been the support of the government. In fighting the pandemic right that stevie is reporting to us for us in lagos thank you for. An extraordinary isnt gonna wait bishops of the Catholic Church all pressing the government to crack down on the Gay Community the move by the Church Leaders is in retaliation to a socalled l g p t workspace in the capital accra now the matter has surfaced the discussion about homosexuality in the country prompting a number of Public Officials to side with the bishops in a moment ill be talking to an activist but 1st we met a gay man who opened up to us about how its life has changed since he came out. Openly game he lives in this apartment alone in a crowd away from his family he had to relocate after coming out as gay in 2 inches 17 that decision hasnt been easy he says since most of his relations pose his sexuality and lifestyle complaining of constant threats of attacks fears for his life. Just the mere fact. That somebody point 3 got me not just with me that he could actually need to me being ranged. In. Asia as i thought. You know. And yet but if experience that i go through anything just me alone but then people who identify i felt a bit here present and ghana also good to see my experiences according to Rights Groups might not rights i think 40 percent of. The community peasants have suffered attacks dont raise worried about the level of hatred for people based on their Sexual Orientation it is unfortunate that some guy would treat differently because. It made him feel like a 2nd class of. It is unfortunate so it is not. Who is purported in the our mind to discuss anything. And for the who hated to abuse the volunteer. Same sex relationships are not spin meted by law in gonna complain its against the l. G. B. T. Movement see this wants change anytime soon due to gonna scorcher oh im truly just moments. We will be the rules that govern the states that will leave and for that matter. If you ask me personally i abide by the rules or regulations in the country. So i am for one of government to say what the laws are saying what a traditional believers are saying and what a christian courts are say gazing on lesbianism or whatever you call it. For love believe that the. And we will who recognize the. 100 thats a common view on the streets of our crime and elsewhere in the country. They dont we all do. Such sucked because i think its for outs. Or non oral traditions its about. Hard to call it. Is something that we do grew up with it is not an african thing we are not into this alliance theres no good multinational to discuss and it is a taboo so we dont need to feel it we dont need it dont go and others like him and to relate in. An o. G. T. T. Rights activists also mobilizes like minded people to discuss issues affecting them and to 2nd solutions. That week a few new layers of carney and we need to talk about this as a community and we need to live with the proper authorities to make sure greg. The have been put into we were removed from day. Is hoping for acceptance within that canyon society suna but thats hope r. P. S. From a distance for now. And to talk more of this weve invited the team of derby onto the program shes an activist advocating for the acceptance of people and got a welcome city to every news africa. Did people in the l g b t community im gonna have to live in fear. L g b c people in ghana are often faced with violence people experience physical assaults people experience physical and Sexual Harassment people experience with this communication people experience public humiliation in this street in marketplaces if you are perceived to be queerer in some way on purpose seems to be a member of the community or if you open your identify exposed to all kinds of attacks sometimes from individuals in your community sometimes from the media sometimes from religious bodies and all of that so there is really a lot of dollars that people experience many people having to live in fear many people are having to live in their courses right because even from within your own immediate family people are often displaced from home people are also experiencing physical violence in their own homes people are having to be sent to churches vision therapy to be cured of their homosexuality so its really a very grim situation that educated people in ghana. Fatima story will get to that point but i do want it ask you before we proceed to the point that youre going to make i did want to ask you what you believe is the reason people in ghana are so intolerant of the Gay Community. I think the most prominent reason that i would like to side is religion current leaders and theres an Organization Called the National Give me a minute the National Coalition for human rights in family values and its a question that has been thats made up all for the. Console the cosmic secretary at the cost of bishops conference they gonna go into costello and charismata council as well as the Muslim Community in traditionally this so its quite is a Big Organization and i think that best like the major organizations. And some of the talking points that these organizations including the religious organizations and put forward is to say that homosexuality is a sin and its an abomination and that if the people of ghana with 2 acceptance you know us i say see theyre going to hear the wrath of gorge and the country is going to be destroyed and the country is going to do for you to relax from the bible and so because because of the fear that has been is still down people people also feel like you know its right its in you know once they dont want to be damned you know by by supreme. Intolerance of the Sikh Community in ghana all right thats pretty much speaking to us from accra thank you for. And thats it for more of course on. Africa page on facebook and on twitter and today will be with the algae can you see across the continent of africa will see you next time. Dont miss our highlights. Program. W dot com. Carefully. To get. Discovered. Subscribe to the documentary. The soul. Virus get lucky a mega hit all over the planet for french jews who decided to call it a day off to 20. Minutes also coming up today. Recently discovered letters written by adult hitlers father gave new insights into the dictators upbringing and his character. Understated unfunctional 2 words essential and. Award winning design. But we begin with the news that French Electronics are going their separate ways you most probably wouldnt recognize them as they chose to wear robotic headgear for most of their careers youve seen indeed the way they said goodbye was a typical doffed punk fashion in this video. They were very reclusive and ready giving interviews but they are without one of the most influential and donts Music History makes a funk discotheque known since they had hits all over the world. And a big fan of doffed is my colleague mark a crew guy. Who you go to the dogs to read the future. And the music is still alive and will be for ever same with all the other legendary bands like this hit for example no Party Without this song its from the 1st album and 997. 00 from home with. Every song on this legendary album was an International Hit and 28 years of their career they only made 4 albums and everyone each one was a huge success i guess. And by the way no reason given for the split the management hasnt released any information about that they are of course flawless and speculations and if you look at the video epilogue which is really 8 minutes long. You see the 2 of them walking one stops and the other one is going on keeps walking and maybe one wanted to continue the work of the other maybe but we have really no idea. What is all this business behind the helmets and not showing their faces i think its more than just a marketing thing because the 2 have known each other for. 4 years they know each since the high school and both were fans of the film phantom of the paradise fun 974. 00 directed by Brian De Palma here we see the book the boy is so young and one of the characters in this film wears a helmet all the time and theres also kind of a history using alter egos in electronic music like with idol to come back for example and another very good reason is just to keep your identity secret and then 10 your privacy. Ok its rare that french bands have an International Career for instance got lucky was a top 10 hit in 32. 00 countries so how come they got so popular worldwide when you think of their beginnings they started them paris in the ninetys and this was really hot spot for house music and they took a music that already existed and make it just into they turned it into perfection their album granted access memories from 2013 with the most successful one with the single get lucky it won for Grammy Awards and they have the legendary collaborations with fellow williams and i watch as he was responsible for this disco touch being ok krueger youll still be able to keep your dancing shoes on thanks to living with this today. A new book by austrian historian woman sun group gave a rare glimpse into adult upbringing its based on that is that some group acquired after they were found in an attic bettors written by hitlers father in law as to a builder after he bought a farm in austria shows how close it was selftaught how he was smug and very much overestimated his abilities qualities that he definitely passed on to his son. For his story and romance and gruber the contents of this envelope are 8 dream the letters were discovered during a cleanup and were made available to him. The letters from out of hitlers father loisa provide the basis for a book about the dictators father the signatures of a lawyer and i dont get a straight the Strong Influence of father on son for the contents of the letters also show similarities in character the father born out of wedlock was successful as an austrian customs officer also brutal and highly self opinionated the the real thing that illustrates how the son was molded by his father is certainly the autodidactic education to the father hand which he was infinitely proud of and which led him to hold all those who had regular schooling in contempt this is true of i drove him to another field and the son also thought of himself as a genius that is a testimony to alloys an immense feeling of superiority and lack of feeling for others. He was also harsh towards out of all these reports say he would whistle at him into power like a dog home and. Show genocide war and destruction and of hitler is responsible for this. Signed gruber has uncovered more primary sources in and around lengths this is where he believes hitler formed the way of thinking and acting that would have terrible consequences lynch was already a german nationalist stronghold in hitlers youth the wild celebrations here of austria is an excise and by germany in 1938 the young was already anti semitic signed gruber says it was rife in the Customs Service with alloys hitler worked. Hitler though hated the Civil Service he wanted to suppress his father and rebelled against the life he was expected to lead at that time most rebellions were to the right no you leave even further to the right if the father was a german nationalist like hitlers then the son becomes an anti semites. And this if. It was family lived on this farm for just 2 years they moved 18 times father and son were restless and without ties according to sound group. Only briefly attended this simple Village School far from the influences of a sound group one more small parts of the young early life part of the parcel of his murderous descent into moral ruin. Good design has to be elegant beautiful even but for it to be successful it also has to be functional and in the case of say a chair it should be comfortable to design a stuff on dietz manages to tick all these boxes and more with his designs and thats why there are source after i stablished names like tone and rozental and many many more. Colorful minimalistic and clever objects designed by munich chef and dietz ranged from lamps to furniture to take away. And above all else they have one thing in common understated functionality. Good design has a lot to do with acrobatics a good ass or bad can manage to make things look elegant even if theyre very complex. Or complex in. The us design is a floor lamp that functions for the helps joints instead to move will clips attached to an electrical cord and now the fiberglass rod to be adjusted to any position of the lamp is made of mostly Recycled Materials and can be disassembled without feeling. It was a definite date the german sustainability award for 2021. We made i know its lamp here almost 5 metres high we came up with this concept a flexible rod with a super lightweight shade attached and we tried to push it to the extreme. So we can put a lamp in a corner and illuminated dinner table almost 3 metres away from. The floor level to manufacture a mint is based on that well known model type 113 a desk lamp design from 1923 it was one of the 1st serially produced adjustable lamps worldwide. Products that were last manufactured for the companies or bauhaus designs which were very mechanical with this background my idea was to do the exact opposite of what i had to be something that was kind of the antithesis of this 1920 s. Mechanics which is a methodical thats once you got it. In contemporary form from traditional design designed to bend to a chair in 2007 employing a process that uses steam to bend toward the peonies torn it Brothers Company made this. Sign history with that coffeehouse chair inventing the technique in the middle of the 19th century. Feats further developed the bent toward method for his contemporary chair designs. He also combines Industrial Assembly with design in 2011 the chest the office chair he designed for the german manufacturer of the khan was released it uses materials for undercarriage uncomforting production in the Auto Industry and was awarded the prestigious red dot design award the development took 4 years because of course you cant just walk up to b. M. W. Or mercedes and say lets make a chair some designer they dont know approaches them with an idea and of course the Company Wants to know if they should invest in the project so for me a lot of time goes into this kind of research into finding a partner who wants to work on the project where the element of craft is no foreign to do before studying Industrial Design he completed an apprenticeship as a carpenter today in his munich studio together with paul Product Design as he develops designs the top produced by such prestigious labels as model also or he 15 by the. Us the ny think design is primarily about a light touch even if youre a mission for a project or a project is immense you cant lead to imbue the process with havingness. If thats what has a lot to do with humor and you have to succeed in taking a playful approach. Like through sequences that dates hasnt already designed around 50 products he likes to think outside the box and meanwhile has become one of the most important german designers working today his most recent project is a modern listen for system the slip covers can be changed quickly and easily proving that. A flexible and sustainable approach to design never goes out of style. No he doesnt maul arts and culture stories on our website just d. W. Dot com slash culture m l i recommend you d. W.

This is you know we use live from world and pleading guilty a man is jailed for the 27 murder maltese journalist daphne. She expose corruption within malta as political and Business Elites killing rock the island nation of sparked protests that forced the countrys Prime Minister to step down also coming up israel. Reopens rather this economy with the extra freedoms for the already banks needed anyone with a green past can slight abroad go to restaurants britons give support to the critics of course for certain that its unfair and facebook and australias government struck a deal to end a blackout on news feeds but all the social media giant now before truth was them on its digital platform. The book. On they are thank you so much for your Company Everyone where we started malta the assassination of maltese. Investigative journalist daphne carr want to 2017 sparked International Outrage now one of 3 men accused of her murder has been sentenced to 15 years in jail all came after he unexpectedly changed his plea to guilty and admitted all the charges against him i want to go to this had been exposing corruption in the countrys political and Business Elite when she died in the car bomb attack her murder sparked angry protests and ultimately led to the resignation of the countrys Prime Minister 3 new suspects were arrested on shoes day on suspicion of supplying the very vom that killed her. All right lets get the very latest on these developments that easily of course one of our vessel has covered this story from the very start and is tracking also the courts of proceedings there barbara does this mean now that the case has been resolved no not at all and we know that at least one of the men who actually killed definite the one who actually committed the deed will be going to jail and he has changed his mind some believe are getting has been going on behind the scenes he provided some further information about another murder of a lawyer in 2015 to the authorities so no he gets away relatively lightly but he admitted that he and his 2 companions they were the ones who keyed the code into the mobile phone which knew up the bomb that they had attached under the car of the john list are we any closer of barbara to knowing who was behind the assassination. That is the really interesting question because the 1000000 who are now in court they are only the ones the sort of criminal figures from the underground of malta who committed the deed bad who audited and who paid for it that is yet unclear theres a businessman more for more than a year in court youre going fenech he. Was highly connected to the former government of the island and he is suspected in accused of having been that person who ordered the murder and who transferred the money but he denies it and he points with his finger to the chief of staff of the former Prime Minister and says it wasnt me it was him so far not enough proof has been found to sort of indict either one of them really is so that last question remains still open and unclear or please remind us why did this case shocks so many people. There it shocked so many people before because for the 1st time in a very long while in the European Union a journalist was murdered for her work directly so much that much was more or less immediately but also shocked people because rafts of corruption was uncovered when everybody started looking at the country Money Laundering through because the nose kickbacks for public procurement what ever you name it they did it and this is a member country off the European Union and it has become more or less captured state and more people were really shocked about what they saw when they looked underneath the beautiful facade of this tourism island and they really saw the nastiness and the sort of crime that was committed there on a continuous basis you know your correspondent Barbara Starr reporting thank you.

And nigerias cryptocurrency crackdown causes anger along those of you those as a safe haven in a battered economy. This is the w. Business im joined now on in berlin so glad you can join us we began in south africa where new figures show joblessness at an all time high the last 3 months of 2020 saw unemployment climb up to 32. 5 percent from just under 30 percent a year ago the little outlier here last summer that dip over there reflects the lowest unemployment number in decades but its thought to be a product of underreporting during the locked out these latest figures however show a situation worsening for africas most industrialized economy d. W. Correspondent Allison Gallagher joins us now from cape town ellis good to see you now as we know behind those numbers you have real people so give us a taste of how these numbers are actually translating to everyday life on the ground if you can. Well south africa is a very an equal Society United wont get any better of these Employment Unemployment rates will stay so high and weve got about 11000000 people that need to live from less than 1 dollar 90 per day and a lot of them as you mentioned are young people the labor force here is only growing because the demographics in inside africa are that we have a lot of young people and 50 percent almost of youngsters that Start High School will never finish high school so its a big problem for them here is that we have a lot of unskilled young people that yeah const confined to any work and thats a massive problem mainly because some of them are constant even you know you get x. Get jobs because because their writing is not good enough theyre dark and thats not good enough so yeah thats a real issue thats what africa has to do with now i want to get back to and just a 2nd ellis but its a good time for us to hear from the countrys top statistics official has been underscoring what eles has told us just there heres what he had to say. Young people as well as women remain vulnerable to labor much its and day and when we talk young people we are talking about young people aged 15 to 24 years the Unemployment Rate is sitting at about 62 percent and the Unemployment Rate of women in general. I have done that mission. And its back to d. W. Correspondent joining us from capetown what is being done to help young people and women seeing as they are so affected by these joblessness to stop this the situation in south africa. And yet again the government last year launched a big program and this was before covert to try and help them to to match them to employers to increase their skills mainly for example in cultural section in a tourism section that a president has been talking about maybe you know linking them to call centers where they dont even need a High School Degree also helping them with basics like interviewing skills and resumes so zone they are trying to to get young people into the labor market still its the social challenges that make it very hard and you will still have a lot of young people that wont fits that program often governments and im mainly talking about young people that dont even have enough money to buy data for their phone to to even look for jobs or have conned even afford to try and support money to go to a business and hand in their resume or go for an interview so a lot of work has to be done and the government also a couple of years ago promised to get a lot of Work Experience placements for young people and i must say that program has been theyre lagging behind and quite a bit even before corona and all the other challenges they have now that africa has to to make a push to to make this work otherwise. Unemployment figures on the young people will only grow even further risings outlets this and an already in equal society thank you very much Alison Gallagher joining us from cape town south africa.
