told me a lot of ball glad you could join us we start in senegal which has been experiencing some of its worst unrest in years it began last wednesday when the arrest of the opposition leader it was months on course sparked off deadly clashes between his supporters and police president mikey sol is calling for calm some coach says he wants the protests to continue but peacefully. from. home region in the fast south to the capital dhaka his followers have taken their demands to the streets of senegal. all senegalese people expressed their dissatisfaction with the regime he's the dictator president macky sall. we are fighting for freedom for justice and also for the development of senegal. protesters faced off against riot police at the tear gas canisters floor. several people have already died in 6 days of protests triggered by some cause arrest. living to the victims must not have been in vain so that this never happens again and sinegal we must maintain this mobilization it must be even bigger but it must be peaceful. in. senegal usually a beacon of stability in west africa has been rocked by its worst violence in years . or can i call for calm and peace. all together let's silence our bitterness and avoid the logic of confrontation which leads to the worst opiate president saleh has been in power since 2012 political pressure on him is growing fueled by allegations that any challengers a subject to political hit jobs the opposition fears he may try for a 3rd term beyond the 2 term limit in the constitution. the people demanded that in 2024 he will pack his bags and he will leave. for now tsonga seems willing to bide his time till the next poll in 2024 as the protests well his followers may not want to wait that long. i'm now joined by journalist sam he's the editor of africa check and then bureau welcome to the program sam now one song is still calling for mass protests across the country and all these likely to continue now that he's been released from police custody. yes really so. must protest but. peacefully so in this. because he made today by a group of course you could parties citizen movement for tree days of the most racially is truly a country on monday just in wednesday and yes the release of the song goes seems to ease the tension especially since the president like you so so made a speech on monday on monday evening also calling full calm and an easing of the curfew was imposed in the context of the struggle against go get an idea all of this could help ease the tension but yes the demonstration ogled continue but i think that if you read it be. it towards the same level as there was last days ok just looking at. as a politician he came 3rd in the elections several of the opposition candidates who contested against the president have since joined the government of national unity is there any chance of being co-opted or or does he poses a genuine threat. i think there is no chance to. really dig up to it. to join the democracy or regime because he's now in a position of being the number one open and to do too much resume and he's a truly a 32 to the ruling establishment as he's calling to a shift in the way politics is done in the country since the independent. also getting more and more support from people who are coming from different political lines you can see you can have former leftist you're not just and but often economists and also sokol in these are lies also paid for already finishing off relations with the form of power in a. broadly seen by the establishment and in is political. it is political and you see in us a new a new wave in the country so yes. a switch to 2 markets or regime. has long been seen as one of west africa as more stable democracies have these recent events damage that statehouse. i didn't see. the recent events of this jet is it just. being a stable democracy each. year's. democratic gains has been lost and what i think is that these recent events are a kind of expression of fed up and that ups they did they really are old the. leaders of the government that it is absolutely necessary to preserve democracy ok. and speaking to us that thank you very much for bringing us up to speed. while most of the world has been under covert 19 restrictions it's been largely business as usual in tanzania last month the government there finally acknowledged the disease as a public health. still not much has changed like in the island of zanzibar where tourists are still coming in. this is the legendary say ots have to sara festival and sounds about. everyone starts into the hearts content tourists and locals together gyrating to the beat of the bands. it's feb 2021 russia in the middle of a pandemic yet conveyed 19 seems to be far away for many here. until i'd lock up their friends came from russia this is already their 2nd time here on the island in just 2 months of the battle. there in the us i. always. felt i had done it. and i. know it'll be a free free korea 2 if not oh you know it's a pretty good way to legs i don't remember. a little bit about it. for many zanzibar mean summer sun and the sea instead of tough restrictions tourism is encouraged as a everything's normal. charter flights mainly from russia and eastern europe blantyre regularly. sounds about as much fun a miss region of tanzania as president has been in denial about coronavirus for months since may of last year a number of cases are no longer made public. everything's under control according to the acting health minister of the island so far we've just been going on a very real. people coming and making sure that getting through the stuff that's we've not had any cases that the government might must take this very serious. journalist to levels he begs to differ he says corona virus is spreading across the island because he reported on that he's been banned from practicing his profession for several months he says coronavirus has become a to do subject. we see so many p.c. a lot of people dying and. we do not do not there's a lot of guys was they can't bring up we're not used to seeing someone who can't read properly or who has a bad cold what if you look at that then you can see that it's the same sentence as with k. but now town by. the sea is demanding stricter measures to protect the people on zanzibar however he says the government wants to keep tourism running at any price because it's so important for the island. a lot of people like to a guide cassim 10100 dependent on tourists for their livelihood he's happy he can now company a group from bulgaria. he's been working in the sector for 5 years and has even learned german for the many german tourists seized to come before the pandemic struck then for months there was hardly any work. that changed when the island promoted tourism again the 30 year old says at least he's earning money again to provide for his family he says he's not scared the tourists might bring coronavirus to the island his whole i think hunger is worse than corona. if no tourist come then people will starve that's why us. many people however i think irresponsibly says germans have been an average from zanzibar biggest tourism agency. she says that a huge black market for negative coronavirus certificates for tourists has been thriving on the arm and for quite a while. she's made sure her employees understand the disease and the 2 of us as everyone has to wear a face mask including materialists. and marriage has tourism is possible if you take the right protective measures. it's about travelling responsibly now that a pandemic has been around for a year everyone in the world should know what it is how the disease can spread and what you can do to protect yourself should. last month the 1st vice president of the died of covert 1000 according to his party that may have given pause to rethink fitness. indeed now authorities are asking people to wear masks and keep a safe distance. outgoing president who is the recipient of the 2020 mo ibrahim prize for african political leadership the award committee said as president who had led progress in that despite massive challenges including poverty and terrorism he will step down next month after 10 years in office. and. i feel honored him through me it is all the people of nigeria who are being

sites. world heritage 360 get the map now. in the. climate change. they have the future. dot com africa megacity the. disney embraces diversity and an attempt to tack. it's racist past well have a look at the studio's latest here on arts and culture and made in bangladesh a bungler does the filmmaker takes on exploitation in her country's garment industry. and we'll meet a young brazilian dancer who soars beyond her supposedly imitation it's. just how offensive our old cartoons or warner brothers has now announced that pepe le pew the amorous skunk who 1st appeared in 1905 has been canceled from the new space jam sequel critics nowadays say the character promotes rape culture well and over a disney they're going further and addressing old offenses for months now disney plus has been putting warnings on some of disney's most famous movies saying that they contain racist stereotypes that the company admits are wrong disney's focusing now on getting it right here's a look at their new movie ride and the last dragon. brave warrior ryan sets off to save the world the fact that she's a woman is no hindrance it's not even anything special it's simply not an issue. you're goulding oh. well the film has its share of disney style women's eat raw is a cartoon heroine for a new generation. everyone is really beginning to have a vision for this movie definitely different from everything that we started historically thought up and see what we can we think of the words just the princess we think of the specific genre of film so yeah i think everyone was really calm is that it's not just wanting it to be. a film that authentically represented as a very specific special part of the world but we also wanted it to be different my girl ryan are going to fix the world bring everyone back the team behind the film. was inspired by various asian countries that's also represented in the casting part of the reason why this production has given its actors hope for better representation as asian american performers we just want there to be more because the landscape has changed so much from when we were kids and they were literally you can count on your hand how many asian american actresses are actors who are in the mainstream media and so to now they're being. just so much more inclusive ready in front of the camera and behind the camera in movies like this. are. taking the 1st step disney amang toward more diversity better more respectful representation of nonwhite characters with movies like rihanna in the last dragon one of our d w reporters michael krueger is following disney's efforts michael go and start with this new movie what are people saying about it well the reviews quite positive and it was absolutely weiss at the highest so many asian americans for this project but they are still voices was a bit upset about the mix of different cultures in this movie a bit from taiwan a bit from malaysia a bit from china so there is still something going on right ok and to put that in context disney didn't even used to try to get it right or if you look back at the representation from from past decades particularly when it comes to asian stereotypes and this is one of the reasons that disney plus now on its platform has these warnings are saying look these movies contain racial stereotyping because let's see what the disney company in the past had in mind when it comes to asian inspired clips of movies these things can be very offensive to a lot of people so he has the warning this is from the movie lady and the tramp depicted with n.t. agents do it types the premier was 955. if in those days asian americans were also confronted with exclusion in society here we are with the wrist accounts from 1920 and today we have still the attacks against asian americans so the discrimination is still relevant and while we grew up with all those old movies one of my favorite ones i don't know which one is us is the jungle book and you can see the scene with king louis without thinking though of the accusations just picturing people black people as lazy from africa. i was just blind to that i have to admit when i was a child very interesting how they changed king louis in the movie from 2016 he reminds me more of a mixture of a mafia boss and a monster just like king kong for example so if you ask me if this was a good decision to put warnings in front of the movies i have to admit absolutely because it forces everybody now to think about how we want to use syria types and how we're using them now absolutely and of course there's even talk that disney himself may have been a racist mckee mouse himself is based on recent stereotypes we've come a long way disney has come a long way absolutely michael krueger thank you so much and the last dragon comes out this week on disney plus. well made in bangladesh i'm ever read those words those 3 words that appear on clothing sold around the world often

provoking statement by the activists sinks in and fuels she miss anger she decides to form a union all of this goes back to a true story that of seamstresses dalia. research in the textile industry hussein meant the young woman when i read her she immediately expressed your interest and i did also feel that her life story was also a chimera. that leaving all in year 12 and coming to the city

world that a disability won't stop her not only can she dance her determination as made her a social media celebrity. 16 year old victoria bueno is a student at the ballet academy and sometimes a return to supple chi in brazil the fact that she doesn't have arms hasn't stopped her. out of the bathroom for me my arms are just a detail i dance and i follow with my eyes as if i had arms but there's no difficulty without i don't feel like i need them at all. they'll go on film telling off how. vittoria was born without arms yet she's been able to realize her dream of becoming a ballerina. her mother says that the only difficulties she's had have come from people in her small town in the state of minas share ice who treated the tortilla like a curiosity. also i thought she would go for a walk and people would pull up her sleeves to see that hurt me her disability scared me but it didn't hurt as much as people's attitudes especially for with. it was victoria's physical therapist who encouraged her to take up dance the strength balance and flexibility the young dancer has gained from ballet have given her crucial physical skills that allow her to have a great deal of independence. but afterthought on the phone for people with disabilities seeing me dance helps a lot they see their disabilities are just a detail we're much bigger than our disability so we have to chase our
