of every single connection mapped out shows the geophysical reality, the on the board is what makes things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube the this is dw news advocate coming up on the program. roland are prepared for elections, but will they change anything? president kick, i'm a faces limited opposition as he seeks of falls presidential term. but rights groups continue to voice concerns about rolanda as political climate. plus the image that's causing a stat in cameroon. president poll b as door to the in the spotlights. i'm in the countries n t l g b t, los prescription for survival. how nigeria is economic timeline is affecting access to medication and health care for millions

and the cross cultural music linking gonna and germany, the we made some of the legends behind the distinctive sound of the highlights. as the last, it's mock on the african music worldwide. the hello, i'm told me on the logical welcome to the program. rwandans will be voting and elections next week and president paul cook, i'm a is widely expected to bag another sweeping victory. he's been lead us since the end of the countries. 1994 genocide and the most recent election kick me one nearly 99 percent of the votes, but not without controversy. while the country has made economic advancements,

rights groups have long accused. the rwandan government of stifling, political opposition corresponded. mario miller has been monitoring the run up to the polls and she has this report from the guy the guntee is what many people think off when they think of randa and mold in plain, developed and say as capital. the government has led todd to sell this image. we've been mostly successful in the most important things that we wanted to get done. which means security and safety for london's bringing back home refugees of uniting new orleans justice and progress and delivering to hundreds run up to date is better off than it's ever been. ronda has grown economically reduced maternal mortality and improved health care. it has also become a major conference and tourist destination, but that's not enough, especially when 60 percent of london still live below the poverty line. so,

so positionally to fix, why and that'd be with the data. so given that they do that to the, to get it, we have a beautiful day to day and glen, this is sweets, button development is most of that development is they indicate to the people and that's what have appropriate for modernization among the kids. on the 5 use that there's all kinds of them to provide to him in other countries outside the to get he would have to have a who we need to who do a need that explicit do we need to or tie we need to or split that says there's many syncs that to have to shift between a and b or it has been a fee is critique of president pool come down there for decades was punished for speaking up. she was imprisoned for ages were challenging the government narrative of the 1994 genocide, the targeted the tootsie minority and killed about 800000 people. the easy you get

the size of the the institution adelanto, the government. of course, the order of labor to be the enemy of the coffee, like you may spend to a t, as in the present order because it has keep the size of the party. so if the government, so this is why as good, they have to understand that we need to also democracy in our country to have a suspended bit of development. we need to, to have a lead. that is what i could account about before the citizen government has been praised for bringing simply to design to the 30 year since the agenda. so was know, well the rights groups have criticize the country is human rights record in fools, disappearances, arbitrary detention extra traditional killings. and torture, a routine 14 members of freaked wine, you'll be, or is a position party and 3, john list behind bars several more waiting trial. the government denies the problem. we did, we did not assessing if people were a country of law. we're country,

the findings life. that is the biggest lesson that we learn from the genocide o job is to take care of. one of these. people are free to say whenever they want to country rings $144.00 out of $180.00 in the world. press freedom index. they think it will be a free and fair election. yes, it all. it's elizabeth. it's widely expected that poor guy may, i will win this election with more than 90 percent of the vote. as he has done. and previous polls were doing all by itself on the team to monitor the senior research and human rights watch. she joins us from buried in france. good to have you on the program, clementine now is cook, i'm is re election a done deal. thanks for having me. um. so the elections and we're one to taking place in a heavily restricted environment. the political space and rwanda is controlled by the us and president who can government,

is there any to other people who are running against him in these elections and they want less than 2 percent of the vert combined in the last election. several position leaders who tried to register as candidates were unable to do so, and those were doesn't know position members who are currently in prison in the one to so. so that leaves us with a very limited perspective in terms of how things will progress going forward. oh, give us more insight as to why the opposition looks the way it does. why isn't that a strong opposition? because being a political opponent and rolanda being outspoken and critical of the government on its policies is a dangerous attack. we've documented numerous cases of rwandan opposition. members . critics, commentators, blockers journalists who's been found that and suspicious 2nd stances who's gone

missing. we've had national intelligence on that to a step, has been held incommunicado, who, of, on trial or convicted in prison in violation of the human rights. so ultimately that restricts have of the, the opportunities for people to be much as political figures and opposition leaders in the country. oh, what about the, the election process itself? we do see that there are huge numbers turning out to vote for president obama each time the spice of these criticisms you mention. so why is that? so why don't we see, for example, protest of votes. i mean, what we've seen in the past is the president's winning a, you know, around 9598 percent of design um, which is up. so do to huge as you, as you say, but the faith isn't taking place in a free and fair environment. and it's certainly not taking place in an environment

where people can freely express the political opinions and take part in political life and the country. so that has to be factored in when you look at the election results. how much in the more draw from human rights watch? many thanks for speaking to us. thank you very much. you're watching dw news africa still to come from jazz everything they live the high life with the legends of like and then music scene for jane, germany that blends cultures, styles and traditions. the the recent instagram post by brenda b. a dose of cumberlands president paul the spot to media speculation about her sexuality. the post features a photo of brenda, kissing brazilian model, lions,

valencia, shad on the final day of pride month communion law prohibits same sex relations with penalties of up to 5 years in prison. but miss b a is currently living abroad. so how's the story being received? in cameroon? place a own report from the port city of twila. she kissed the girl. i should liked it. that seems to be the message from ben w. she calls herself cameras best daughter on her posting on east have done both more than simply hint that she's in the same sex relationship, a criminal act in cameroon. o, g, b, g, q, people fees, up to 5 years in prison on wed spent social stigma. so i'm gonna select the country i'm oldest lead in lives like i need to see. so let's get who knew all too well, how dangerous these off for quickly we know using her real name to protect

i'm afraid for my life every day. i'm afraid for my life and i'm returning home from book and i come across someone who might have some doubts about me. or if i see a man and i have to detect his advances, i'm afraid of being hit in the street. i'm afraid to hoard hands in the street, but the bus and i shared my life with that is because they can invest and throw me in prison without any respect for my rights. and if there was a time when people you know, never who would discover she was in their relationship with a woman, both of them were brutally beaten and tried to him would break. the police went on, willing to help them get justice. while most talking, protested the commission of police at the police station kept on mentioning to us

the law are to go to $4071.00. and we could hear some officer saying, if you are lesbians, we are going to ask you and lock you up. it could be worse than what happened to you. they said to the girls that don't just the feminine, but not to masculine. like in between many believe brenda can afford to come because she some of the ruling edits, why she lives in switzerland, a license, a camera, and on a private jet here. and on everybody else. despite the privilege, the president's daughter, seen clear headed car about the ruth, she's taking, i'm sorry, i could lose a lot. she to try to be any with the sweater activities like homeland quit hope them britain because of the mission which he got to beat in the country. that act somehow was somebody that was like 3, not because of the privilege of the fact that she's the president, but just being

a high set, as brenda, as an individual, coming up to see i like these and i like this person and i want to show the whole or that i really love this person is something that we also see like an act, of course, on the streets of dollar onto eligibility. sentiments to me and hi. it's on the lucky that brenda will be our wrist is sent to prison by our products carpet. however, some people do hope this will be how feet you should have does to come to the, to, to this race for the republic and want to disagree with the presidential couple. once it's all, and i'm looking at such a child for the 1st band to this doesn't exist in almost actuality. it doesn't take seconds on your number of law condemned the ex strongly and that means you to has to be punished. it's not fair to punish other people not and let others go free and one that the everyone is equal before the law with the one on one. no, i'd like to point on the results. the law against homosexuality is one likely to change any time soon. however, brenda's public stein is seen as

a window of hope for compulsory is like i need to well fighting to be seen on hood . i have hope that one day i can freely express my love. in the same, we picked out bridges and judgement from people. so especially that i will be respected and accepted by other people of my own right. as a human being for yes, i have hope work you cannot make challenges. and nigeria have caused a strain on people's pockets. but the situation is also having a direct effect on health. the rising cost of living means people are having to pay more, or even go without a much needed medication. and even the drug providers and not immune as dw,

so at least i took them out, reports doing a one day goal has to be leaving with asthma all her life. i son also suffers from the condition, but she's no longer able to bite inhaler. she needs because medicines and nigeria have become so expensive with the way the economy is going, things are really, really gets in tough email. you're struggling to buy food stuff, and you also trying to stuck up on your medication. so for me, i kind of cut down on the inhaler for myself. i went caught it for my child. the cost of medicines has gone up because of inflation and the volatility of the exchange rates. this has made it more expensive for nigeria to unplug the drugs for my broad this, the result has been discuss, it's your basic met, seems,

and higher prices. drug practicing magic has been on devices 20th. that's in. that's, that's not true to do to correct inflation rates this actually by us, it used to sell for around $1000.00 that a way for dosage that's was less than a dollar. what's now sales for 9000 there. that's about $6.00. the shortage of medicines has also become more acute since several international pharmaceutical companies left to nigeria because of the economic conditions. the government has promised to invest more in local drug manufacturers. but many fear that may not be enough to plug the gap. well, there's a limit to what local manufacturer has come to o the goods and to allow the lives of um, ends of must because and some of the products don't some what item did you notice month bucks you guys in the, in the country with this, the limits of what they kind of do. the economic hardship is links to the decision to remove the fuels subsidy. the government says it's reforms will improve life for

citizens and in the future. and that the cost of living crisis would eventually ease. but like many nigerians, dwayne needs a solution. now people have all sorts of complicated conditions. and imagine how they are coping. you know, so for me it's a plea to the government. whatever needs to be done. first, find a way to stabilize the se, calling on me. things are going out of hands for 3 and others who cannot afford medicines. this is a challenging time. last week now to delta or the allow a live into a medical doctor and team lead at the health city attack enabled social enterprise and nigeria good to have you on the program or the law. now to tell us about the current state of things, from what you've witnessed your operations, how on nigeria is kind of eco nomic problems impacting the access to health services and mets info when i durians. so things are quite hard. and

for some people it's wonderful to buy foods, no physical medicine. so for most people be as you know, gone back to stuff medication and stuff. medications, i'm not just using, you know, on the quality of medications they use kind of medications. i the also results using things like a i called medications, which we come on, the call i will is your by language, a nice area. as you know, the problem with a boy is that you don't really know what's inside. but because people have no choice, this things of cheap already the label, they don't have to consult it, talk to people, consultations if would you use it so to relax. so using these, like i was, i have some people that job that have to see their problems. i maybe someone as an accident and maybe the goals get broken. instead of going to off the tools to get, you know, possibly the care they ask, you know, to go to try to shut up on the steps,

is because those people are cheaper than going to hospitals. so the fact is, you know, it's not off, i'm just can see it clearly. and how are you able to advise people? um, because you do give, give people a health care advise how, how, how does this effect of the way you relate and engage with people. so the way to stick it away relates with people, especially my patients, a staff. now you have to sort of prioritize care. you obviously watson, more of all gone. we have incentives. why did medications, you know, prescribing are important and why the most gets them. you also ask the understand the financial difficulties, your patients might be added so you would improve, you would prescribe it. she's not brass a quality, but she put 20 teeth. i'm also, you know, power types of testing with through. so you do i or q testing. i'm, you know, you might be supported to be absolutely important ones,

at least supporting tests. i would still improve that. this is why you might have to read those ones out because, you know, you also know trying to save costs for the patient because in all honesty, they don't want the money. i'm gonna insure it. so yes, it has to do with you're explaining or explain and you are changing the different aspects of your care. and so what policy changes or, you know, industry collaborations or what kind of action do you think is necessary to improve health care, access and major in the face of these economic challenges? so back up the bar, i would say health insurance, right? that's a huge problem. and niger and the vast majority of mine is yours. i'm with each one, right? a lot of people pay out of pocket for health care. i'm this free to be sure i called by god to bad. like someone has a pdf l, cap problem like quite

a problem right after it sends them for a job. it says you have to pay out of pocket for every single b do your noise shirts issues because it won't later. and so policy wise, i think, but i'm not trying to health insurance, which are g as in the work to do a story about mid back across missouri if you have a police uninsured. and most of the companies have sufficient policies, you know, about the coverage being drawn pharmaceuticals, to produce drugs that are, you know, stand out for people. a lot of people rely on what's more expensive brands because you know this be our own pharmacies, f, i'm all on one big farm as i understand. so apple is, is that encourage them and provide useful the biggest as of some equals outcast to okay stuff. the or loving so we appreciate your insights. thank you for speaking to us. oh ok. are

now to a form of music forged by man migraines or on half a century ago. that's grown into a thriving cultural scene, both in gonna and here in germany, mixing these under as of jazz phone, gray gay sold, i'm afro beach bug, a high life offers and intoxicating mix of weston and african sounds. and i've been to meet a new super group here in berlin, that's at the hearts of this ever evolving musical movement. the living, the high life in berlin style the multiple generations of performers coming together in celebration of the west african countries culture and music. and we've been lucky enough to get

a sneak preview of the distinctive command sound at the bands rehearsal studio. hot thomas is one of the most well known faces of the high life scene. i'll put another way, he's a good man, high life legend, i suppose to be the original because of the eclipse, the stuff that i do. so everything is the phone. and the other thing is john rob music originated in coastal gun in the late 19th century. but was brought to germany in the 19 seventies and eighties by musicians, leading political instability and the country's military regime. and now with access to new music and the latest instruments, they let the creative juices flow in by the name the number on.

do you think that added anything to use on compared to the, the, and got it done because of the equipments me 1st please. i do from sound. so if i'm in that, to swing on this new stuff come into sizes and you know, keyboards and so, so we do ready for this kind of sound that sound evolution soon got a new name. the highlights, a style of music associated with the many migrants who would travel between gonna and gemini, with a match uh at the heart of a so called bug, a movement, a not to the gym and would, for citizen, the cigna charles a more i found that putting a band together wasn't always easy,

the guitar is where it was of something so proud to get it was was a product. so i kept thinking and was wondering how, how does that work, and what does that translate to with your audience as will appear and, and back on hold and kind of summarizing when it is on page. so here's as far as the gym for example, that some of those what life when they come to come religion and music easy. but what was it was fair but over the years, burger highlights only became more popular with his experimental across the border approach. seeing his playing upon the venetian of african music today, the music went from one border to together and then when it,

when it came back and changed. and this is how we ended up with a release today. so i think we try to stay original, but we also made these sites and then use today's tools to make his donovan multicast. i will say the band is now preparing to play gigs here in germany and elsewhere in europe, hoping to delight funds, old and new, with a modern twist on the classic bug highlights blend of sounds. and if you can make the live gigs, but one more highlights, then check out the album gun, a special volume to that's from sound way records who have long been researching and discovering music from donna and nigeria, amongst other countries. and
