demon after just one move, wow. speechless m a world champion has never withdrawn from a trust tournament before this in the history of the game of trust. so it's really unprecedented. now the norwegian champion has issued a statement online saying in part, i believe that niemen has cheated more and more recently than he has publicly admitted. niemen did recently confess. he had cheated in tournaments when he was 12, and 16 years old. carlson went on cheating and chess is a big deal and an existential threat to the game. adding that chess organizers should increase security measures and cheating detection methods. he said he would not play niemen again. niemen denied any wrong doing. in my dream can true. i live my dream for a day beating madness and that all this happened. carlson said niemen seemed unnaturally calm and not to be really paying attention during matches. he questioned the american teenagers meteoric ascent to grand master status. but chess federation officials,

chided carlson for the way he handled the situation. and some observers have gotten behind niemen, accusing carlson of being a sore loser and of trying to ruin his opponent's career. rob reynolds al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera and these are the top stories russian back to authorities and for regions of ukraine. so the results of 5 days a referendum show, he will have overwhelmingly voted to join the russian federation cave. and it's western ally, say the results on not valid shall stratford explains, reaction from keith to the referendums. they are describing this referendum as a complete sham, lacking any kind of legal basis on the international, in an international context. what so ever we've had reaction already from the ukraine in foreign minister, demitra caliber. he's calling for even tougher sanctions from the

we forget what we have been given is really a bully, the belief that you and i have super for me. how many of you have tasted? ah, what did you say? ah ah ah, hello amy ha from hello vanessa. nice to see you. i read all of these amazing people to introduce myself to you in the context of the film who they are, what they do. i mean, you start the, i'm image after and i am the co writer with prime and the directive, but yeah, that's my role on the so i had i am if i'm gordon and i'm the go

to god i to with amy and produce overhaul. oh, south africans are going to be yelling at the screen anyway. right now, i live in it introduced yourself. i'm renee debra here and i paid the mother role in the movie barrett cut. and i'm also mother to every but you understand all i was happy every 3 of you back. i mean if you're wondering by a continent blessings or bless 3 times over. if you would like to speak to any of i guess today, you tube is open. the comment section is right here. comments, questions about backup? the maybe you're very welcome. be part of today's discussion. there's a sense for the film just starts guess and it doesn't give you explanations. it's a family drama. and just going to come along for the plot. there are a couple of things that i want to just make very clear for an international audience. when we talk about colored people i from,

can you explain that to our international audience? well, kelly people are, in my opinion, a bunch of fortunate or unfortunate people who couldn't fit into any of the racial care. so we can make people, r o d n a, the is wide and deep. ah, it crosses continents. and you know, no 2 colored people have the same genetic makeup as so well, maybe if you have a twin or brother. but yeah, we are mix of people, but we are forge the community over the years. and over the decades to the point that we can see ourselves as a people. but our, our gene pool is wide and a category that a set of just jenny, up, it has a era aly, i me go ahead, but now you can actually create your ownership of it right now. right? yeah, i just wanna add that it is a racial category. that was the 8, it's during

a party by any type of government. and so it was a race of racial classification at the time of the population registration act. we people were divided into groups, a white black indian hallad. so as much as we identify ourselves politically as black south africans, hallad was an imposed racial category. and that was for bureaucracy and also for the part of government. and i think now is this a facial ave, of, of young filmmakers and young activists were claiming back that word. and we're kind of taking away that has a lot of loaded political meaning from the past and turning it into something that we can celebrate and be proud of and create a heritage around. even if that heritage isn't a hedge, a monic, that's not one idea. there's no singular colored identity, but out of this way, creating and celebrating ourselves for the 1st time. i think i just add to that, sorry, if i may am sorry, sweet died i,

i just went to add to that also that am, you know, as amy says we are not in her margin is group were made up of all people. busy and of brown skin and you know, and some people find it offensive to be pulled colored because of the label which was given to us by the nationalist government. and, but you know, just just this weekend or 2 weekends ago. i listen to wonderful speech by doctor and in both sex, who again just affirmed for us that we have to kind of let go of the shackles and, and it's, it doesn't matter. you know who you are, whether you turn yourself colored or people of the come, miss sar, or whether you and you know, whatever you call yourself. it's a, it's a question of a mind shift. you know, so and yeah, i think that people of color in this country are really it's, it's a celebration of,

of who you are and that is where we are. i think at the moment it's melting pot. let me just bring in here somehow. stanford. she's an actor singer and right, the efram. how many fish and how and i won't you efram to respond to her current. here it is. one of my favorite parts of i got the movie was obviously seen the culture and history represented sort of positive light. but also a character like with her mom, relatively small cameo by someone we made it in the same is you know very well, but the character selling his faces and his way is inner cups. but also using those idioms they lean came town. no, so well it's so essentially a class that it's so difficult to describe what it means to see there. i'm screen was beautiful. well, if you look specific,

eric eric the like with them on like shantelle just said, now v as an actor is completely truthful to the point that if he doesn't want to stick to the word, he doesn't stick to the words. and i think that's why that sounds that all goes says what comes in the moment. if it throws new as they're going across the room, that's fine because it keeps you on your toe as well on your toes. so i think that's what makes that character. so spatial and so free and so relate to both because it really was real, he wasn't acting, i mean, he's name in the real life. everyone calls him a man. you know, and that's a thing with actors in cape town. generally at such it we, we are such a performers, people or performing people that things feel natural because people just are they don't try to and i think part of this phone with that sense of

reality because of that. and just falling in something else ish, that shantelle picked up after caps, yet a dialect, and i went a whole some. i know i heard of the very beginning. this is a very special film because the film is in africa. i mean, you start and thing that you pick up. yeah, i mean i think of it. what's so great about the scary to like it in my right, he's a, he's an older man and he speaks a very beautiful poetic kind of africans. i think what was very important fires so with this foam, was to legitimize that language, whether you want to call it a language or a dialect. that off shoot of africans that realised version of the language that was 1st spoken by slaves who were brought to the cape. a way of speaking a language that the slave masters could not understand. and so to create that, this fusion of languages, that is a mix between dash and english and arabic, woods and malay woods. and so we have this like that, this lexicon,

that is brimming with metaphor and poetry and image and borrowed words from many continents. and so when you speak that your mouth is like a spice spice mix. yeah. and on some, some computer full lines that i don't know it can you remember some of the lighting 9 told me with how beautiful it sounds without giving us of africa. i think so when i was a last yeah. was continent gideon, that a smile. so it could and it might the job i didn't do anything. i also need a body shop and jr, and we're in and can know for non of exxon know i'm more than meta lady an idea a what are you saying to us?

so what i'm saying is that i am going to make curry and rice and i, i've got all the leak stir that i need them at the job that i've got all the mixture . but i don't have fennel and tillman, so i'm going to the shops to morrow to get some. are you going to go along with me? all right there on uci. right now. we have michigan willa from cape town, south africa, michigan says it's so great to see a small community on the world stage. that is why i think barack it has taken off because people are seeing communities, the hang language that they haven't seen on film either very often or ever at all or in a stereotype. let some i want to show a clip. this is a, one of everyone's favorite clip and i, i love this, which was the family that were following i, she is family. you see the family growing up and gathering around this very easy,

special table in after cups. what's the name for? eat winette. la by them, exactly on the tip of my tongue and you see the family going from when they were young to when they were older. and you see the story unfolding of front of your very eyes. have a look. a mom with a with

mm . ah. okay, who's cutting on ends in the room with crying is really emotional, right? the net cutting audience amy this is special because you're breaking boundaries

and you'll smashing stereotypes. can you tell i international audience in what way you're doing that? i think it's in such a small way, not in the usual way that i think a, you know, activism is seen to be a lot more sort of performance of a lot more expressive this foam. i think our a was always to do it in a very delicate way, and that is just by for grounding the humanity of a people, a culture, a community. we might not have seen that humanity foreground of before about telling a story that can just be simple. that's just about family relationships and it's about nothing more than that. it's not about am the part why the politics of the country. it's not about wearing those politics on your sleeve. we're telling the story of a family hoping with grief after the loss of a father, a feeling that is really universal. and i think for grounding that humanity was always the key for us. can i add for that before you jump in?

this is justin. he's watching us right now. thanks. justin is from los angeles. i think what so powerful about barrack justice says is even for those who don't know the culture, the themes of family and moving on are universal both specific, but still white banning winette pickup priests. precisely. this is exactly what i was gonna say. even though we might think better to a small movie that it a slice of life. and yes it is. but it as a slice of everybody's life, it, you know, it, it, it really it what everybody can relate to it. whether you muslim christian mexican english, you name, it doesn't matter. it, it, you know, it's, it's everybody's life. and this movie just is such a depiction of that. i'm going to bring in one other voice here from an you can respond to adam. he's from the center for film and media studies. he's

a director and professor at the university of cape town. home. this is what he had to say about barrack for this particular genial. i think that the soul is most interesting to me as a scholar in cops on each cheated. why hasty me too far validating martin in expression? and what this campaign does image use of cops, events happens from, from care from, from the flats as nuanced characters, not cardboard carts and cops. it has been used beautifully. i think capture not just be you know, in the narrative, that intimacy and anger conflicts, either subtle things like that. i think the characters so we can flats as much as car. ready carter carter isn't just the language of conflict, the mileage negation was ology. i think this phones or safety in the

existing interest. stop up in this room can i think what's interesting away, what he says is it takes us back to what amy's comment was. just the comments and be about humanity for too long. cubs was associated with the and the classes. it was a comment somehow, on our legends am bed made as 2 dimensional, even one dimensional get it does, and i think what caps now has done and what this form and funds before this have done is do legitimize. i'm legitimize us as a people who feel who i intelligent and you know, will operate in the world at large and not just in a certain corner of the world. so i think caps has been legitimized in this film and by forms before this. and the more we say it, the more we give dignity to the people as oh, i natalie,

i really gotta said that because christ channels watch law says after caps is in a language. if the lack of language filled by different languages from actual culture. i mean, you want to pick up on that i introduced as a diet. yeah. count, dialect, guy. i think at this point it's disingenuous to say that it is a lack of language, but it's like when they get the space, i think there's a reclamation that has been done and that rick information is up to no one except the people who speak it to to take ownership off, it's not anymore about validating whether it's a language or not, or a cultural di they will not from the outside where i don't think looking for that stamp of approval from anyone else anymore. so i think the initial that's been

taken of the, the language and the dialect recently by phone makers like us is like, we don't need gazes, we don't need any of the gazes on our, on our cells. and i think there's a beauty, africa and the poetry to it. it is our mother town and it's the time that we were born into that time that our grandmother spoke, the language that we inherited and that's kind of the same as our own as well. and yeah, at some point i feel like we don't need validation from anyway with those fears, be from academics or from outside is or from people who think, but who you who call themselves pure africans. because whatever means, i think it's exceptionally important that africa is part of the growth and advancement of africans as the language. i feel like it's one of the only way that africans is the language is being to move forward is to be in collaboration with

africa. because it's a, it's a, it's something you know, it's a, it's the language that is spoken by a very large majority of african speakers. and it is our time now put that language to be on the world stage. and i think back had, has proven that, look at the discussion, we're having about africa up on al jazeera, on an international network. you did that, the net go ahead. yeah. and, and i also would just like to add that and, you know, it's, it's actually becoming accepted. and even by academics we, we are at this while we speak, there is a dictionary being brought out an end. and, you know, and, and, and it's, it's, it's great to, i think it's gonna be fabulous because people are actually going to be learning to speak afro cups. and, and it's been, you know, it's there even for academics to learn. and people are and you know,

they are accepting of the fact that an average cups has become an accepted well let, i'm still not sure where the are we call it dilate or language? i think we still, you know, sort of there still a discrepancy about that, but um, yeah, let's, let's claim a demit celebrated. i would like to play one more clip from bar caught the movie cuz he can't see it everywhere. right now he could see on the tv. so if you only african continent, a dentist, right? because you can see it elsewhere. i went were to were taught to amy and efram and finance about where you might be out of c it elsewhere and when, but i'm going to take you to master it. this is a beautiful scene. there's grasping of it. jane mascot, embark on the movie. take a look. it will to mrs. go from there for brad or lack.

alibaba covered on clinton was leaving. it is incumbent on us to leave conscious of allows of a 100 girl at all times. to me, grateful is very important. we should be grateful because all things that we have been granted come from our creature allow. so the hanover color, that will allow me our families, our fathers and mothers. those of us were still fortunate to have them. our grandparents, our sisters and brothers own children, those of you are married. those are all gifts said we were given offered to we take things for granted. this is sweetness to the you man. i believe that you and i have. my question is, how many of you have tasted that she

can says i can't wait to see this film kenny's on you cheve johnny fan. i am so pleased or caps to see these stories were given a global platform. what you see in terms the plot and the story is also reflected behind the scenes. it's behind the scenes cru. amy, we caught herself and acting as the film activist. tell me about the activism you did behind the camera with the crate. yeah, for sure. i think and we wanted to make sure that the people who were working on it and contributing and were collaborators, were people who were from this community. so our crew was of packing at some point like from united states for st colored like majority colored. a lot of them were muslims themselves. we made a conscious decision not to, of course, form on friday,

which is to my here in canton as well. and so we were, we observed them his name, sabbath day, and so yeah, i think it was very intentional for us to also make the, the journey of the foam while that was in service to the story. and if i'm had like a big hand in that as the producer, i think it be being a quite intentional with how we chose our crew are from people asking, where can we see this film? where can we see power cat and we have an international audience that people are eager to see it. how are they going to see it? currently, you can, it's an a pay full pay to view platform cold event of you can check it out there. ah, there's 2 different ways to see it for when you on the african continent or outside . so be, be careful which, which link to go into. it's very clearly mod, but also if you're in south africa and on the african continent, you can get it on d. s. d box office. it's been placed back on box office yesterday so it should be

back there. so those other 2 avenues at the month and half and be looking and you can tell f from is the for days it could, he goes either back, they are at hand from jeanette. amy, what a pleasure. thank you for sharing. barracuda with us. it was you every success with the film and you cheerless, appreciate your comments on your questions. i'll see you next time. thanks for watching history. ah. the chuckle. region of paragon, one of south america. we fought a 2 man who seemed to thrive on his challenges. a veteran truck driver answers every call, whatever the web to provide for his growing family. and the cowboy who enjoys his
