house just behind us, accompanied by a guard afforded by bishops and clergy of the church. we heard the church bells, charming, and tribute to the archbishop of the archbishop will be cremated and his ashes then interred at saint george's cathedral just behind us. but to tell us more about the funeral service that's just completed. we're speaking to reverend wilma jacob said i'm of the anglican church. reverend, it's certainly an emotional time not only for the church, but for south africans at large and a very emotional and, and personal service that we've just seen take place. yes, it was a beautiful service and a beautiful tribute to an amazing man, but of course, so many personal moments and feeling swirling in every single person. and then collectively to the service itself as a rhythm, as well goes through in certain moments that are maybe

a little bit way motional and others. but for some people, the music touches them deeply for others, the readings touch him deeply and each person helps him to the service and experience the service in their own particular way. but he has hot, hot, hard so full and a half hours rate of chip but to the music readings, sermon, holy communion, which he celebrated every day eucharist. every day we participated in that same service that he did every day and a range of people, a wide range of people there. but, but we're to have fitting and it was a wonderful tribute to this man. but in the, in we can really, really capture what he deserves is that you don't have all the words we don't have to lose. so many occasions we've heard the archbishop being described as a global icon as somebody at the full front of the struggle against apartheid. but he was also a vital, held

a vital position within the anglican church. and we also saw that centered within the funeral service today. he also directed how he wanted his funeral to be held. what was key for him? many things keep what he wanted. bishop michael knuckle to preach. that is that you heard he was code number 2222, that a very special type relationship. having worked so closely together, any time he, many things he wanted, he wanted music to tell of all kinds. it was for most thought classical sacred, classical music to his favorite him assist him with one to him, which was on his favorite. he absolutely wanted the even learn to come to class, just saying he loved the gospel class, but he is known to have said to them, if you don't think it's like, you know, i will come at home and you from my conference. so many things are important to him . a number of personal anecdotes around the archbishop with the play to help him, the anglican church, as we said, was

a sort of very sinful one. what did he mean to you? to me personally, he was not only my mom and my bishop against me because he was the 1st women that day and as a deacon in 188. and then again in 992. having worked very hard to ensure that women could become priests your day, myself and obviously, you know, one of the precipio today was the whole bearer ordained us both. and then 3 years later he asked me to be his last chaplain before he retired, which was an amazing thing. they've ever been a woman chaplin people. and then also in the last, the last year 2020 i kid was a kara for him and his wife mom layer because that happened to move to her mom. and i was close to them at the point they needed some kids. so it's such a wide range as he is so deep in my heart because with him, maybe i would have become a priest. my life would just be the same. but also this is a person and if you just like a father anyway, but you know like my very many ways,

like just amazing person. you see and that's why are you singing favorite choir. so i don't have the words at my heart is full and my life, you know, i am many ways because of him. so how does one pay that cheaper to accept to live out his legacy and his prayer life and his passion for justice and all that is good for that is how i could pay to get to him in my life. and we can do that. also. reverend of will not jacobs and thank you very much for your time. we've come to the end of that funeral service and just alongside the road of saint george's cathedral, we see a choir performing a final him very much the entire proceeding centered around paying tribute to a global icon. one whose legacy will always be changed in south africa. is from it, thanks very much. emotional displays there in cape town as well. the world remembers

this very special that doesn't saturday march 20th since the year a currency entered in circulation. the european central bank event on years eve with a light displayed in blue and yellow, representing the colors of the block. the arizona currency was 1st introduced in 1999 with coins and bank notes being launched in 2000. and 2. domini kane has more now from ballad 20 years ago it was a novelty, a new currency across much of europe. as one central bank took on responsibility for the monetary policy of hundreds of millions of people. for much of its 1st decade, the euro's own seemed to prosper. but then came the global financial crisis with the greeks leading a succession of states, unable to pay their national debts and close to defaulting on them. and therefore, dropping out of the euro club. brussels became the place the seemingly endless meetings, event, bailout packages, with growing tension between rich and northern and poor. a southern european member

states. between 20102012, there are endless predictions that the euro is going to fall apart, or at least it would lose some of its weakest members. like, like greece, in the end, none of those forecasts came troops when the covey pandemic seemed to shake the integrity of the euro zone. angular mackerel and manuel mccaul solve the crisis with the so called corona bombs. effectively using the assets of the rich member states to guarantee the debts of the worst hit nations. now the e. c, b 's main, f o is inflation driven by fast increasing energy prices and supply shortages when the euro is being dreamt up, someone that if the plan was a currency to challenge the dollars supremacy. today, europe managed to establish itself as the 2nd global most important currency concerning, for example, the 4 ex markets or debt market. and in the international payments,

for example, it's always almost equal to the dollar. the driving force behind the single currency comes from paris and berlin. the new german government will continue to closely cooperate with the french government. and i assure you that the franco, german tongue then will stay essential for the further development of the european union and the european monetary union opinion polls both across the euro zone and the why did you suggest broad popular support for the single currency? a trend that has been stable throughout its existence. 20 years ago, hundreds of millions of europeans have to adapt to the new notes and coins in their pockets. and soon they may have to again, because the e, c, b has an ounce and over the whole of the look and feel of its cache dominant cane al jazeera berlin. well, it taught to beg, who's a professor of

a european economic governance of the london school of economics and joins is live now from cambridge imbed. welcome to the program. it's been back 20 years if you would. how much of a logistical undertaking? was it to introduce 0 across what was a good chunk of the content? here with a challenge because you have to substitute existing currency toich while french trying to tell you lira virtually overnight. but looking back from the vantage point of 20 years old, it happened pretty seamlessly for very few logistical difficulties in introducing a new currency. one or 2 figures that were resulting inflation. and certainly there was an expression used in germany in early here's the transfer trying to transition to new currency, which was toil, which is the german word for expensive toya, combined with the euro. that was simply because it was rounding up going on by

retailers. if something was probably $0.95 a run down to a euro, and some objections arose but rapidly faded and from early in 2002, you could see that the euro will, except the currency and the package mentioned. it retained strong, popular support in the mornings of the logistical catastrophe. didn't come to pass, but as time went on, whether winners and losers. well, maybe i run a germans who are one of the most countries most resistant to europe because the georgia botanist bank was a core part of the german postwar political entity they. they had to give up the dodge mark and resisted. and yet germany probably to be one of the major winners from the euro, because it's held down exchange rate for your next porters and enable german export is to knew very well in other parts of the world. because in part,

because the domestic policies were conducted in different countries, germany is a major winner. that's a statement of the, say, the greeks law start in some respects from doing the euro. there again, you have to say, well, what happened in greece was to do with domestic policies which went wrong. an inability to, to do with cost in ability to engage in the reform is necessary to be part of a single currency. so it's a far more complicated story than saying germany, one in greece last. so there were shades of gray in this. some countries did firm the u. k. kept pound for example, and even known in 19 of what is enough, $27.00 countries, a part of the years and why it wasn't been become sort of total increases. so you had a major reason because when, when the new york negotiates, which, after all, was a good 10 years before the currency was introduced,

u. k. and denmark, which in countries said no, we do not want to be part of this, and they formerly obtained october from not joining all. the other members of the union did not have all tabs in technical terms. what they had was a delegation not to join immediately. what we seen is from the outset, the relevent countries, and that has increased steadily over the years to 1927 with the u. k, leaving the european union. the biggest country in the block of those that were not part of the euro had gone, u k is very much he was the leader of the non participating members. and the fact that the city of london was a major financial center. also the bearing and this, i think what we now see is in a growing pressure on those 8 countries which are not near to join to ready on the glide path towards joining that's creation bulgaria. and you will start to see intensifying pressure on the other 6. how long it takes is one of these questions,

but i would expect to see more members of the euro by the end of next decade than we have now. right. interesting. all right, and but leave it that thanks very much in back professor of european economic company. the other thing i still had her on out 0 attributes. poor in for betty white, the golden gulf comedy who's digest week joy of her 100 birth ah, he uses performance ought to draw attention to the critical and controversial issues facing chinese side. one 0, one east meets china's activist. often went out to 0. a right of passage preserved to the generation. my cousin was laying down there i'm to was claiming she was helpless. the woman who after indoors as goes through cycle of paint for what fact my night meets the women affected by f g m. and those re
