Hello im christine one but its good to have your company the Human Rights Organization Amnesty Internationals theys it has evidence that eritrean troops massacred hundreds of people in ethiopias north into grad region last november it used witness accounts and satellite images to document the atrocities the reports suggest that eritrea and troops carried out war crimes in their attempts to take control from ripples in the region talking to one of the old authentic reports off of this. This family way theyve escaped the fighting in ethiopias t. Cry reachin and to found shelter in sudan. W. News met them back in november when they just arrived. Coakley method as a player we cried and our children cried with us and they wept in front of us so i think the shooting started while we were eating we just had to leave. Even in. Their home in ethiopia has seen almost 4 months of fighting between local rebel forces and the theater in military the latter allegedly receiving support by eritrean troops gaining an accurate picture of events in tikrit has been difficult to impossible journalists have been blocked from entering the region phone and Internet Services were at times cut completely and humanitarian organizations have struggled to get in. In early december un human rights chief michel basher lay said there is an urgent need for independent monitoring of the human rights situation in the t cry region for all necessary measures to protect civilians and for accountability for violations that came about 2 weeks too late for this woman and some 800 others in ethiopia as holy city of axim thats how many people are thought to have died in a legit massacre near an ancient Orthodox Church a recent investigation by the Associated Press found that the perpetrators were soldiers from neighboring eritrea and a new report by Amnesty International backs this up the Human Rights Group says its collected evidence that ira trained soldiers went on a rampage and acts im on the 28th of november after an earlier attack on them by a small group of rebel fighters knesset marys Church Witness accounts describe them roaming the streets and shooting at fleeing civilians with automatic weapons and precision rifles i saw the people being shot on the ground when they were running approximately 10 people or more all of them young men everyone was scared and run away. Eritreas government has denied its forces were involved in any massacre after the a. P. Investigation was published the countrys information minister called the story a horrendous lie relevant ethiopian institutions had long us attained the us a fallacy of the story he posted on twitter fighting in tikrit is said to be ongoing and itll be hard to verify what really happened in axum and late november but in light of Amnesty Internationals new allegations the eritrean government may face fresh questions about its involvement in this bloody conflict thats playing out away from the eyes of the world. And weve invited Amnesty International into the program to talk more about the organizations latest reports on to cry for say a takeaway is the ethiopia horn of africa researcher for the organization welcome to news africa. Say in the report that eritrean troops is alleged massacre off civilians into cry may amount to war crimes tell us more and actions that what happened on 28 seem to empty names of nobody but it wasnt my 2nd actually operation. Its actually going home to home in space i thought it was. Under so there is a chance where she lived there in spirit lives to. Just a few days after it would be square marathons estimates only after. 48 hours. There are now 2 batteries a date and administration international as. Every does include being sort of do i reach this is. Satellite imagery and if you. Say it it is eritrean troops that have committed this massacre but does the Ethiopian Government based some responsibility. Yes that and in egypt is that responsibility of the day to panic about meat and in addition to that after indiscriminate shelling in the actual town there if youre buried you have to ram forces into town to get them so i lived their lives there indiscriminate surely was conducted to gaze at my sister of course it is a true courses so how should the International Community respond. Where at least International Aid is asking the International Community to. Government to accept a United Nation late investigation into. My settler city in us. All right that is to say a take from Amnesty International thank you for your. African football is staying in the european elites are the inspiration of many young people in their home countries who want to follow their steps the lives of soccer stars playing abroad are mostly glamorized and little is spoken of the burden they feel to create opportunities for those they leave behind in a moment ill be talking to an author whos written on the experiences of african pains living abroad but 1st heres the story of johannah from kenya who set up a foundation to help kids back home with life on and off the pitch. And i thought difficult place i lived pretty close to the dump like i want to do things. We could put to death for the next 3 thaw we used the plastic bags from from the garbage to make. Nowadays johannes is a pro footballer in europe for the last 14 years the Kenyan International has played in belgium luxembourg and turkey but a mother who has not forgotten his roots despite his time abroad. They dont want to talk about it. Because they said its. Bad for me proud of where i come from its wrong for thats why i really want to give back so im going for me and its a lot of kids when i see all this here i think in my mind is why cant i have this in you know in 10 in 2017 or molo set up a foundation in his hometown he established a Football Academy close to the dumpsite the Academy Helps local children hone their skills they dream of following in a mallos footsteps. And i wouldnt want to play in the premier League League or syria. I thought well as long as im able to help the people back in the ghetto. Compared to europe there are not enough quality academies for players in the crucial age bracket of 12 to 16 this academy aims to develop a better infrastructure a Competitive League in kenya can help many earn a living johannes tries to give the kids a new perspective to seek their fortunes back home he tells them you are not successful only if you go to europe. To be able to talk about core because if we do it there is a big. Part of the skis who will make a poor and their lives you know i did. That here but the difficulty is that when they see you here they think you know what you are there and they would be. In january johnno molo signed a contract and turkeys 1st division with as room in eastern on a. New chapter of his life as an african footballer in europe has just begun. And im joined by. He is the author of a book titled african football is in europe Migration Community and give back behaviors now a description of the book is that it shines new light on contemporary migrations labor markets and sports and processes of development in africa welcome to data it is africa and its so you researched how african Football Players in europe contributes to their countries of origin what did you find basic thing for me according to these players that be out to get back to us that might geraghty said of the old right to give back however far they have moved this indication which chases of investments. All right i know that part of the process was that you interviewed a former and current African Professional player is in europe what were some of your takeaways from from from those interviews and perhaps share with us some of the the play is that you spoke to. Thing to talk about maybe billy stuff fine by gene yeah yeah boy i seek out or not im 20 a boy i. Know what you. Victor why am i. Made it clear that it is good for african players to play football hire a part of the issue try to combine it with education in the sense that one be able to combine with education this will help them to make good decisions in terms of investment for the future and its just what is the overall take away Office Phenomenon of african football is to any professional and we saw it in the report that we just played a young man going back giving back to the Community Just what is the overall take away also from the research that if that. That clears where convenes. Having gone through so many challenges alone the hour with the thing that is this bet that the young ones and potentially coming to she did dedications us the law saved if thats why their right to dream model is soon to be working for africa and especially the west african continent and so for me this mother should be the one that most of that stretch out on me to try and follow her. Need for us that is to us to look at that transition and now this is where some of this africa. Bury us or challenges that we have to deal with a foreign Standard Food or language and then theyre reeses johns and loneliness when they get to the new pleas of work as theres a. Going to play a professional or they have been clear for this work is being in riyadh working on this and very soon. The power come out on how they can and now days.

And i just found it given the founding of. The festival organizers hope that in june theyll be able to roll out the red carpet and welcome fans and stars once again just like last year found hold the heroes before. And joining me now from our studios in bomb is all film gurus scott ross for a scott good to see you so the burly nama is happening online at least weve seen some of the political movies that will be screening but what do you most looking forward to. Yeah i mean berlin for me is always a great chance to see the best new german films and as we just heard weve got 4 german films in competition the one im most excited to see i have to say is a Science Fiction movie its called im your man by maria hsia and it stars dan stevens of Downton Abbey fame im here he plays a german speaking love robot who has been specifically programmed to fulfill every need and desire of of intelligent cynical but still quite romantic german scientist so it looks like a bit like a pygmalion tale but its told from the female perspective. Really interesting director she just won an emmy for directing the Netflix Series an orthodox so im really interested to see what shes going to do with this story dan stevens has a love robot to go see i believe that film not many films this year was made on the extremely difficult cove and conditions now always seeing an impact of the pandemic in the selection of the festival. Well in a way yeah i mean there are no films that are specifically about the krona pandemic but looking at this year selection ive seen a lot of very sort of intimate personal stories stories about trying to connect like theres a korean film introduction by saying sue and this is a story of a korean Student Living in berlin and and her Long Distance relationship with her boyfriend and its very sort of small intimate story and of course those type of stories are much easier to tell or because of kroner restrictions of course you cant tell big stories of the castle it makes sense that these movies are coming out now but i think i see a connection at least between them and i dont know the longing that i think we all feel and have felt under lockdown the sort of desire for connection with with other people its interesting thanks to the director he had a film premiere in berlin last year that still hasnt hit cinemas now hes got a new one coming out in the festival but of course we still dont know when cinemas are going to reopen. Thats for the true good point the plans to hold a physical festival with red. Pools to the public in june do you think its going to happen. Well i hope so i talk of the festival directors this week and theyre still optimistic they can hold some sort of physical festival even if its just an open air festival and i just really hope that people be able to travel by june because if were going to have a real sort of berlin festival with a berlin red carpet it be a real shame if the big stars from hollywood couldnt be there to walk down. Indeed i hope well see the red carpet. In potsdam of plants this summer well keep our fingers crossed scott i just say its been always great to work we do you are always a mind of interesting information many subjects for the last time thanks for being with us thanks so much rob and thanks so much and all the best for your retirement thank you. Now one actress not is heaven i sang shes already won the german film award and now shes nominated for golden globe for the movie news of the world playing on visit the great man himself tom hanks still find out on sunday if she wins the gold. Whats most extraordinary about all this is shes just 12 years old. I find it really not saying its work out i dont bench out but then on my meds theyre having me trying to get it. In the western news of the world helena place the orphan johana lay on balco who has been raised by a group of kiowa native americans one day she meets captain Jefferson Kyle kidd played by tom hanks. You understand english the german schoolgirl didnt encounter the American Star until shooting had already started. As mobs at all for the 1st time i met him i was in the makeup trailer getting fixed up for the shoot we were actually supposed to meet later on he just came in and i wasnt prepared at all and he said hello im tom hanks and it was so overwhelming overwhelming. To have heard. Good. That we had 6 weeks to prepare a new mexico before the shoot began and then we had another 3 weeks training in the kiowa language an hour and a half every day after school it was really important to me to learn exactly how it worked that they think more in a circle while we think in a Straight Line and to learn about their culture did include tools you can certainly feel or one skill helena didnt have to learn was how to ride a horse shes been doing that since the age of 4 on that score she was even quite a bit ahead of her screen partner but she did learn a great deal from tom hanks almost stood up to. Give me advice like always be punctual know your lines and be nice to everyone and you should always help your screen partner in the last scene for example where we both end up crying he cried during every take just so id be able to i thought it was amazing he was able to do that every time his mother but i can play helen already has an impressive acting career behind her she 1st stood in front of a camera at age 5 she landed her 1st lead role in a feature. The film at age 9 early on she tackled some extremely challenging parts. Anyhow and it made a splash with system crasher impressing audiences with her bra energy she played 9 year old ben severely traumatized out of control girl. The drama one critical acclaim in more than 40 awards. And the german film award for best actress went to hell im not saying the same. Helena spent a total of 3 months in the United States to shoot news of the world during that time she became good friends with tom hanks. So what does the future now hold. Elements how my ambition is to please myself and the audience just make great movies and maybe have some impact on society with topics like in system crasher plus id like to have a star on the walk of fame but i think most important is to keep my feet on the ground and have a really clear idea of what i want to do. The next milestone in helena career could be a golden globe award on february 28th. Finally i would just like to say goodbye for the very last time. 25 years presenting shows here. Its time for me to sign off and i want to take this opportunity to thank all the lovely wonderful people here at d w.

On one of the rock and very warm welcome it is every parents Worst Nightmare in the hundreds of families are now going through a terrifying ordeal worried about the fate of their children who vanished after the 2nd mass kidnapping in a week all this time gunmen abducted over 300. 00 girls during a nighttime rate on a boarding school in North Western some far state what does this say hundreds of armed men attacked security guards and then took the students with them in recent months kidnapping has become big business after the armed criminal gangs ramped up attacks on schools abducting children and adults and then holding them for ransom. Or we can take you now to do that we use it fred here in Lagos Nigeria afraid what more have you learned about this or worrying development. Thank you very much with. The news we have is that the gaza city in the hands of a key did not and parents are very anxious at the there was they are doing all they want is to make sure that the government makes sure that they are gallows safe but so far we have also had the guy the governor of zamfara was supposed to have a press conference informing the public the next steps but we dont know all those steps we we which steps theyre going to take but we know that there are Security Forces there and we know that they are corsi bre some negotiations going on between the government officials and. Who are the kidnappers fred and what do they want. So far we what we know is that these kidnappers are just bandits as you know in nigeria theyre different armed groups like boko haram there is also these bandits which they just couldnt are people for ransom and they believe nigerians believe that these are just bandits and all they they want is just money so as long as the government engages them and negotiate for a certain price then they dont their daughters i mean these girls wont be able to return to their homes unless the government pays something. So has this set a precedent i mean this is one of several recent large scale kidnappings in nigeria i think some people are even talking about whats behind it. I mean some nigerians that i spoke to the they believe that there is certain business go and go on the business of trading people and because these people they just good enough people and then they you know whenever they get money they do this them it has happened in the past it happened last week when the people in niger state where released as well so they believe that this is kind of business going on and they are actually suspicions that even some government officials all Security Officials ive behind this but of course there is no no no no no there is nothing to substantiate.

While developed countries around the world borrow heavily to deal with the pandemic some african nations already had big debt burdens to begin with today the g 20 group is discussing possible relief measures to stop the debt spiral. Also on the show how the corona virus has boosted robotics and automation will work ever be the same again even after the pandemic. This is the w. Business im joined now the law and so happy you can join us the finance chiefs of the worlds 20 biggest economies are meeting today to discuss the Global Response to the economic devastation wrought by that pandemic high on the agenda is how the worlds poorest nations can be supported economists are predicting massive default on Loan Obligations around africa for instance calls for debt relief are getting louder i should nestle these 2 weeks old baby is indicated they in front told the police 300. 00 to his countrys credit as suggested by ugandas reported its back up into. This is almost half what an average ugandan is say to us on any year. They can divide the government borrowing wouldnt be a problem but considering what weve gone through during the covert 1000. 00 pandemic weve also acquired many personal loans that we may not even be able to pay its even got harder to afford food according to reported figures from Uganda Central Bank ugandas public data is over 15000000000. 00 while uganda has recently received a total of close to 800000000. 00 as it called in 1000 images of relief from the i. M. F. And the wired but the government has had to borrow more to support the look or economy we have attracted in excess of 15 you know in this between. 2020 and 21 now we are. Over and above board the grunt. Of. Supplemented by the top National Level so its a precarious situation like in many african economies you can get ticks up loans mostly to build your frustrated. Roads and energy eat up more than half of externally borrowed money now over divest 18. 00 pandemic some economists does 2 pattern developing economies increasingly we need to have an advocate both solution to either.

With more for cans like necessarily pushed deeper into poverty due to the pandemic paying loans may only get tighter. Our correspondent gary joins us now from brussels georg give us a sense of where europe is when it comes to debt relief for africa and the u. N. In their latest Council Meeting in already in november last year decided that they are in favor of a coordinated international approach on debt relief for africa and that is why at the g. 20 meeting of finance ministers that is virtually taking place in rome. It is expected that a temporary debt moratorium will be extended until at least the end of 2021 a number of people have already said it should also go into 2022 well have to see what happens about that but how much of what europe is going to do depends on what others are going to do like china for example you spoke of coordination there. Thats will be of course incredibly interesting 1st of all one has to know the new u. S. Administration is in the starting block and the room and is here that this will make a lot of things more easy that is what we have hurt and then of course it is clear that that there is transparency that the e. U. Insists on which you also may also explain in order for debt relief to be part of the debt relief scheme you need to be transparent so you need to show where else you owe money to and the e. U. Wants to make sure that they are not the ones who allow debt relief while others for instance china will regain their money in full so that is part of the picture and that may also explain why why so far only 46. 00 of the 73. 00 countries a little have actually taken part in this debt relief scheme very interesting there in brussels for us thank you for your analysis. And staying with the impact the coronavirus is having on our lives from telecommuting to video conferences the pandemic has certainly changed the way we work and its also accelerated the drive for automation and Artificial Intelligence like it or not many of those changes will likely remain even after the pandemic is over. Robots have long been used for dirty dangerous or repetitive work but now the pandemic is pushing automation reputably into other fields the president of Swiss Engineering Firm a. B. B. s robotics says in the long run automation will boost productivity and job creation. You know you crease your productivity and then yes in the end is there awnings of that specific in or a factory youd have more density of robots but productivity goes up so you have to just see groups you have education you have Service Business and multiple other areas that sarong the robot so the human being can do much more creative or a. B. B. Is developing what it calls code bots robots which cooperate with people while learning through a. R. U. They are particularly useful in logistics but have been rolled out in new fields due to covered 19. In healthcare during the pandemic were we were helping multiple multiple across the muslim on the world increasing productivity for example the Singaporean Health authority was able to do 50000. 00 coronato as per day based on 50 reports that we have supplied to them and also there you reduce the exposure of humans to 2 to the virus unnecessary in or have risks so multiple new places the problems we will enter and i tell you also the the pandemic has actually accelerated many of these trends however a report this month by consultants mckinsey says automation is taking over jobs where humans were once regarded as indispensable jobs which involve a high level of face to face contact that includes Customer Service Health Services and the care sector mckinsey says the pandemic has accelerated this shift robots are helping solve problems in the pandemic but could the rollout of automation be going too far. Now lets pick up on those themes that susan learned from Mckinsey Global insight shes one of the authors of that report you mentioned while from susan now the coven pandemic is pushing automation much faster than it might have come otherwise was the worlds labor force ready for it. Well the pentagon created a lot of changes that i dont think anyone was ready for but one of the things were seeing is that companies have to respond quickly and Technology Help them do that the Digital Technologies like ecommerce as well hands robotics and a young guy help them keep their businesses going and thats going to continue to have long lasting impacts on where the jobs are going to be in the future. Now can companies be trusted to equip their workforce to adapt to automation instead of simply getting rid of those jobs. While Many Companies are investing a lot and retraining their workforce to do other things so if you think about it in grocery and Retail Stores when theyre shifting to Self Checkout and theyre taking salespeople in and training them to do other things like helping in the Delivery Department helping customers find what they need so Many Companies have invested heavily to quickly redeploy what people were doing into areas that were more needed but that said there is certainly a role for educators and governments to play as well. Now in your report you talk about the decline of low wage jobs what happens to the people who are in those jobs well what we found is that there are millions of people in most wage jobs today that are going to have to switch occupations if they want to remain employed and that simply because all these technologies accelerated by the pandemic are going to reduce demand for what theyre doing now i think that theres a potential upside if we can make sure that there are short term Training Programs available to big career people to make a switch into a better paying job at a poor career trajectory that would be a really big movement less an equality of course if we dont do that though we will we risk is that many people that left the labor force during the pandemic never come back and that could worsen inequality and social tensions companies policymakers educators everyone has to act thank you very much susan learn from mckenzie Global Insights there talking about the future of work there for us thank you very much thank you.
