Earlier i spoke to one of the participants of the virtual some much capital to focus my is president of the teal institute for the World Economy i asked him what impact germanys slow vaccine will have on the countrys economic recovery every week that we are under the look down the freezing right now we do Something Like 3 to 4000000000 euros and we impose an almost burden on for example the School Children that cannot attend school and who will see consequences in their entire lives from from these that facility so lock down is expensive and since we do not rule out the Vaccination Program as fast as we hope we could we have to pay these costs so for much longer in that sense the failure of for this country to speed up fiction should. Ease economic problem its lost on the recovery of the poles as additional costs in particular on generations that im not yet on the legal market. Lets take a more global perspective tonight chinas economy appears to have recovered far faster than other countries what will this mean for international trade. So 1st of all it means that the center of gravity of the World Economy moves faster to east asia than it has been moving good already before its not just china but the also vietnam and many other east and Southeast Asian economies that are coming out fast from the pending big we think that. In 2022 the each of these economy will be about 15 percent larger than in 2019 while the eurozone economy will be just about as big as it was before the crisis so the relative weights shift and that means the trade flows who shift as well china becomes more important for the German Economy for the european economy because it absorbs more of the production of europe by importing and so that is probably a lasting consequence of this crisis professor fed on my ear from the Keel Institute for the World Economy thank you very much youre welcome pate.

The United States has announced it will temporarily suspend targets that were levied on u. K. Goods as part of a trade dispute with the e. U.

Has no right to act in the dispute because it is no longer part of the bloc the goods that u. S. Is lifting tired of songs include scots whiskey and stilton cheese. So could this be a sign of deepening u. K. U. S. Trade ties post for axis heres our financial correspondent yes caught the United Kingdom tries to hammer out by literal trade agreement with the United States or soon as possible and to a certain degree that is understandable because the u. S. Still has the huge. Market and are still the biggest. To me on the planet but maybe the u. K. Shouldnt set up their hopes im sure high because we have heard from the Biden Administration that a trade deal with the u. K. Is not necessarily very high on the priority list if you look at the size of the European Union is far more important to the United States but theres also still this trade dispute going on between the u. S. And china so that probably it will be far more important for the Biden Administration in the near term than a bi lateral trade agreement was the ok.

The next story is in ethiopia way an online magazine for teenagers is gaining traction teen launched last year and it already has some 10000. 00 subscribers as you would expect from a magazine for teenagers the content features Celebrity News fashion beauty spoilt education and lifestyle but as youre about to see the founders and editions of the magazine themselves teenagers are also tackling some hard and sensitive topics everybody good family and im one of the founders of ethiopias 1st magazine for teenagers the cousins started teen most with perrin young people through awareness and discussion. We want to talk about sexual violence. Selfesteem and confidence of teenagers positive selfesteem is very important to teenagers as it allows us to try new things. Take hope years and so probably talking about these issues is not the norm the girls families are proud of the part they are playing in changing society so far as. I am proud and very happy i grew up in a much conservative society psychology. Especially for teenage girls it was considered. Subject for a team of writers contribution to the monthly magazine and one of britains articles she wrote about gratitude she is aware of the challenges she faces as a young woman but of knowledge is that progress is being made is a definite. Difference in how men and women are today if youre. Women are more likely to be conserved i do believe that. This generation of women in this generation of girls are more privileged than the previous ones and i believe that is really trying to empower women. To. Recession is always an important moment the cousins hope to engage with their readers through a live video on instagram having had a bad experience herself but i wanted to break the silence surrounding the subject i think a lot of people get hurt because like i dont i feel very bad when they did that. And that wasnt there anything they just said since i like things that with her and i would prefer so really people who feel like. You know. Ive been with a car with hundreds of new downloads every month the magazine is gaining momentum and the girls have high hopes they dream of one day becoming perhaps africas answer to vote. And power to them thats it for now theres a whole small on on forward slash africa on facebook and on space is today will the view with images from kenya of young men taking part in the final rite of passage to transition from being war is to elders will see you next time ok. Finding a high. I. Q. But. Not in my. New york down on earth i doubt i heard that ya ive heard i laugh at yahoo i shall yeah. Yeah yeah well fuck. I. Why are people forced to hide in trucks. Since. There are many stories. Make up your. Made for minds. Welcome to arts and culture 5050 by 2020 was a bold ambition of the Film Industry to rectify a chronic lack of gender parity kicked off by the swedish. An institute in cannes back in 2016 or Berlin Film Festival signed on to the pledge in 2019 and well see how things look for gender equality at this years edition also coming up. Women get all the air time on todays program as we continue with our series on female artists who championed womens causes this time in kenya with writer earth so kids right. Well since 2019 the belly nada has been on course to showcase more films by female directors and to achieve more diversity in general all this year with a vastly reduced program due to covert to the tally comes in at just over a 3rd for films held by women and here are 2 examples from iran and from germany. You can talk. About. Hes extremely polite but a bit stiff and somehow uncanny but thats no wonder since tom is a robot hes meant to be a partner for alma best finish and ive read in the as she i think this idea is very much of the moment in a world that doesnt fact have humanoid robots. But at the same time it presents questions for which we maybe dont yet have any answers for that and for. Trying to step in and. Pass it could mention that ashton. Is meant to write a report for an Ethics Commission about whether tom the robot is suitable as a companion or not. And tom does everything he can to make life for a heaven on earth but im a is a really interested in romantic gestures like strawberries and champagne in a candlelit bath it soon becomes clear that from a human perspective tom is simply too perfect. Thank you this is in fishing and i think there are moments in this film that hold up a mirror to the viewer lets you see yourself as a human being through toms eyes and simply have to admit that humanity is sometimes very strange indeed that food is. A foot above the abandoned in the machine so its perhaps inevitable that the human android pair end up in couples therapy im your man is cleverly funny and it avoids the overly broad humor that usually characterizes german romantic comedies but like its humanoid lead tom the film is a bit too predictable the basically inventive story could have used some unusual twists. From a german romantic comedy to an iranian drama in ballad of a white cow menas husband has been convicted of murder and executed now its emerged that he was in fact innocent and theres been a miscarriage of justice. Now mina is on her own caring for her hearing impaired daughter with very little money the film by director and lead actress mari a model is a cry for help it was straight poignantly how hard women have to struggle against injustice and inequality and not just in iran. Putting a spotlight on films by female directors at this years barely nala and lets go over to my colleague scott roxboro in bonn to talk about a few more high scots incredible range of really interesting theme male voices this year and theres one thats been hotly awaited of course because celine samah who and press us all with portrait of a lady on fire shes back with a new film tell us about it. Yeah this this film is called patina mom and its premiered here in berlin online this week its very interesting for. People who know her work because this is a time travel movie its about a 8 Year Old Girl whos visiting her mothers old childhood home and shes outside in the back in the woods and then she meets another little girl whos the same age as her but has the same name as her mother and she sure realizes this is her mother its her mother from the past and they became become friends and the girl has an opportunity to get to know her mother in a different way and maybe develop a new relationship with her ok so this is fascinating because this is a i mean its such a different take on a time travel movie than than a male director would typically do dont you think. Definitely i mean this isnt back to the future or this isnt a christian olden time travel movie i mean you know flux capacitor is or time machine gizmos here none of the sort of mechanics of time trialing seen a lot of these male directed movies you know here here its all about emotion its all about the connection between this daughter and her mother and and about their relationship and i was talking to the directors and she really are and she said that for her the Real Time Travel machine is within us its in our memories its in our imagination and and thats what she wanted to bring out with this film. Really fascinating perspective now theres another film thats kind of similar in a way because its also about a mother daughter connection tell us about the film titled memory box. Yeah this is also interesting its a its a french lebanese production and in some ways its very similar in theme to. Though a very different story its a young girl in montreal your old hometown a lebanese a daughter of a lebanese immigrant and she discovers a memory box a box of old letters and photos from her mother that she wrote during when she was her age during the lebanese civil war the 1980 s. And as the daughter is going through these images and these these letters she started to try to imagine what her mother must have been like when she was a teenager and she was her age the film also uses a really interesting visual trick because the daughter scans the photos with her her cellphone and animates them so that in a way shes literally communicating back and forth with with her mother in the past i talked with directors of this movie and they said it was based on a real story because they had that kind of memory box from the mother and their daughter discovered it and she started going through it and started reading what her mother was like when she was her age and started questioning what the stories of youve been telling me it was very much is fired by real life what a brilliant technique now thought one question were still a long way from 5050 but would you say these efforts to achieve gender balance at festivals are generally having an impact on what you can see. I think there are definitely having an impact i mean. A lot more films are being made by women and more importantly law films being made by women are getting seen and recognized i mean we saw just this past weekend that. Became only the 2nd woman to win best director at the Golden Globes along the front runners for this years oscars are women as you said were still a long way from parity just 38 percent of the films in the delano are direct about women but progress is being made and its so good to see and certainly amazing to get these new perspectives thanks so much scott well speak to you tomorrow after we hear whos won the golden bear. Looking forward to well revel girls and women in the world certainly needs more of them thats why in honor of International Womens day we asked our correspondents around the globe to profile some Women Artists that they feel are making a difference and this time were in africa where 2 kids well vanna a winner of the good to madonna last year in 2020 just thought. I needed the money coming to you from kenyas capital nairobi and despite the fact that the person were about to meet was not actually born here she does thrive in creative institutes such as the one that were standing next to but its actually had a literature that she hopes will be able to cut across boundaries reaching young girls across the continent and challenging young women such as myself. But im hoping that. Gets my goat. When i get referred to is black african right that im like how. Why must i have business or what you call it was what i did i want to be a good writer. So this was vanna is unafraid to speak her mind born in zambia and now based in kenya the South African is a novelist Childrens Book writer journalist and publisher she also founded in curated a pan african online literature festival in response to the covert 1000 lockdown shes prolific and multitalented and her energy seems inexhaustible how does she juggle her many interests with very little sleep. I think if you love something you always make time for its her writing almost always has a political subtext her debut novel the madams was published in 2006 its the story of 3 well off middle class women in post apartheid south africa torn between career and family traditional and modern female roles in todays world i am essentially prof. Who very proffer pen im very pro women and i think generally comes out in my books what those 3 or have in common is about identity. Im writing for readers but more importantly im writing for people with 3 or reading is boring enough air ive got a book for you finish one chapter finish one page and told me thats boring. Vanished writing is opinionated and shes not afraid to take a stance supporting Young Readers and writers is something especially close to her heart. I dont want my generation to be the last generation of writers you know i always to myself to be able to hold on and bring Younger Generation of writers and give them voice and give them the platform. In 2020 cities where van or big. Im the 1st african woman to win the go to medal making her a role model for aspiring writers. Or when youre an artist you want to be on just speaking to one people it means a lot where it can resonate with with somebody in berlin or with somebody in munich with somebody in brazil and as a publisher one of her Top Priorities is employed fine African Voices but maybe we need more voices that are more visible a lot of african countries are only like quick to 60 years from colonialism were still growing we are story. For more than here now kenya has been struggling with the pandemic here to its women in particular who bear the brunt of any sukis what banner has a special message for them for International Womens day. This is a message we all have the sky may we get the recognition we deserve for all then some little band will do. And may we and our allies and learn the potential cohabit that allow us to celebrate mediocre contributions by men over excellent contributions by women i was sure a reflective and empowering 365 days this women city. Words to resonate on International Womens day coming up on march the 8th thats next monday and on that empowering note it is time for me to sign off to visit our website in the meantime we have more on from about suitcase of honor there and we hope to see you next time until then and do go well and choose from us here in berlin unschooled to me.
