this is the news coming to you live from bahrain it's official imran khan this one pakistan's general election the former cricket stock is poised to become pakistan's new media after his boss he won the most feeds we take a look at him wrong cons rise from sports month and international jetsetter to prime minister also coming up. cambodians head to the polls this weekend but have they got any very choice other than prime minister hun sen the man who's good for more than three decades. and natural disaster will often greek apologies see this

pink this week's deadly wildfire as it was especially deliberately but the government is also facing criticism over its handling of the disaster for the last in the next sixty minutes on when you will be among the lucky ones to catch sight of this. the longest till the lunar eclipse of the twenty first century begins tonight and it's been featured a block the one time we find out what's so special about this astronomical event. cullen a very warm welcome to you i'm. a european union monitoring team has said pakistani elections showed a lack of equality and were not a living playing level playing field for their parties they're not man comes after pakistanis election commission officially declared imran khan the winner of the

general election but his p.t.i. party has failed to win an outright majority and must form a coalition to govern. supporters of pakistan's cricketer turned politician imran khan celebrating what many at least a few years ago had thought impossible an election victory for a turnaround matched only in prominence and impact by this the when he secured as pakistani cricket captain against england in the one nine hundred ninety two world cup. with a reputation as a celebrity playboy can long struggle to be taken seriously in politics after founding his p.t.i. party in the one nine hundred ninety s. for years he failed to translate his personal fame into votes. the breakthrough came in two thousand and thirteen when the p.t.i. became the third largest party in the national assembly the surge and support

partly down to young urban voters wanting change that desire just is palpable now. the population is almost two hundred one million currently and over seventy percent of the people live below the poverty line so for the country to progress the lives of these people need to change we need the lives of poor people to change so that's a major government of the. there will be change in the country we are satisfied with imran khan because he is a relatively new leader and has a fresh approach so i'm hopeful he will take pakistan forward. people like me is very difficult in pakistan these days if emraan can deliver what he promised in his speech it will be beneficial for the country and for the masses into his party politicians he formally called corrupt for them he is simply a puppet. i'm now joined by sob. she's

a member of the executive committee of the world economic forum and has been following developments in pakistan closely sabia welcome in rome khan's pakistan tehreek e insaf has become the single largest party in iran khan is forced to become prime minister do you see this as a win for democracy in pakistan. you know it's the second only civilian transfer of power that this country has seen and it's clear that people have voted for and change from the parties that have been in power in the last few decades and so from that perspective i think it's absolutely clear that the country has wanted a change i also think at least the past in the future for a new generation of politicians who feel that they can drive forward a different future for this country let's take a look at the international context pakistan is a nuclear armed country at the same time they've been international concerns that

the countries exporting terrorism do you think john can can navigate this very difficult. you know the most hopeful message that i found in the first speech that he made yesterday was the focus on human development and that's been a part of the agenda that they've been campaigning with but i think you laid out quite articulate yesterday the need for focusing on health and her focus in on education if those kinds of provisions and investments are made if there is a focus on providing you with meaningful engagement in jobs providing them the right kinds of skills providing the right kind of education and then of course this country has the possibility to turn away from those ideologies and to start thinking about a more meaningful human development most important though will be a focus on not simply increasing access to these services but actually closing on the quality of those services that sun is ranked one hundred and fifty in terms of

the quality of its primary schools so it's not just about ensuring that the twenty five percent of children that are not currently in primaries get in there but also shoring up what they learn once they're there is actually meaningful in the world so so that's a lot you're saying the challenges i huge but so have the expectations of the people as we saw in the report but i'm gonna kind we need to form a coalition to govern what are his options. well i'm not a not a political analyst so it would be difficult for me to be able to comment on what the possibilities are in terms of the coalition government that can be formed but what you pointed pointed to in terms of expectations that is going to be. a huge part of how the agenda unfolds in the next few months it's going to be critical to start delivering on some of the promises that were made around jobs around profession around education around health and most importantly on

a focus on the human development of the country as a whole and not focusing on on on as a smaller class of people that have had that kind of access in the past of course a coalition will also determine the shape of his government the as a he the in his style but thank you very much for talking to you. thank you. let me know in some of the stories making news around the world into a judge's order the provisional release from jail of a man known as a village for bodyguard it was some of bin laden some he had been living in germany for many years before he was deported to his home country earlier this month the tunisian officials said he remains under investigation. north korea has handed over the remains of american soldiers killed in the korean war which reached from nine hundred fifty to fifty three a u.s. aircraft craft brought the remains to an air base in south korea the handover follows an agreement reached by north korean leader kim jong un and us president

donald trump at a meeting in singapore in june. in poland thousands of protesters rallied against a new goal that a gives the government greater piles of the judiciary the law effectively allows the ruling party to take control of the supreme court protest to say that violates judicial independence could this president. signed the measure into law on thursday . cambodians a good to the polls and sunday in a national election but while there are many options on the ballot paper voters don't really have a choice prime minister who has ruled the country for thirty three years and making sure anything other than a landslide victory for him would be a major surprise our correspondent boston hartig takes a closer look at how the country is gearing up for elections that many observers regard as a sham. knows the odds are stacked against him. just

three months ago he founded the khmer will party because he wants to make a difference but in cambodia politics is a minefield and kong money car trips carefully we don't want to. be very challenging. the government or the ruling party we want to convert in politicizing to be able to sit together and solve all the problems especially the. political deadlock between the. ruling parties and the opposition parties commonly cause father and his two older brothers were members of cambodia's main opposition party this year in r.p. now they are banned from politics in a government move to purge its political rivals there are twenty parties competing in the upcoming elections but the race is already decided since the main opposition party was this solved by the government late last year with its leaders either in exile or in prison cambodia is essentially become

a one party state prime minister who has held power for thirty three years in election times especially he cultivates his public image as a caring leader but human rights groups accuse him of systematically cracking down on critics there have also been repeated accusations of voter intimidation something the government firmly denies the allegation is allegation that the people of henri we do our best to tell them that people have a right. i'm going to go to ro. has had to learn the hard way that taking sides against the government is dangerous in cambodia after his boss discovered he had joined the opposition party he lost his job now he follows the scene or call for an election boycott. angry and upset because something i know. something i want to have has been taken away from me i'm disappointed that. we want to have

a big opposition party in cambodia can scrutinize the government and criticize its mistakes so the governments can reform and promote the development of the whole country. is not the only one who thinks that way i mean. a supporter of the band opposition and a well known critic of his ruling party he says any party contesting this election is giving it an air of legitimacy that it doesn't deserve. people having no principles. take part in this. and free. from those that. still join. ok. question if. congo money can naturally

disagrees as they ask people to boycott elections which is to me a little bit. contrast to the principles of democracy which. people. can change the delhi does through elections and now they ask people to participate in the elections and. they hold that there will be change so i don't think that will work the only. possibility is that the people will have to go to world and vote for a new leader he knows no do leader will be elected this time around but he wants to prepare his party for future elections and for a time after. and you know these government is intervening in the say off critical infrastructure to chinese invest to get what has that story that's right german state bank k. of w. has agreed to take

a twenty percent stake in high voltage energy network operator fifty hertz thus fending off an offer from china's state grid but instead it has a strong interest in protecting critical energy infrastructure from foreign influence last year germany adopted legislation making it easier to veto takeovers of strategically important companies amid concerns china may be gaining access to key technologies that way. now until and joins me in the studio you've been following this story does germany really need to worry about china switching the power off well i wouldn't worry about china turn up germany's power right now that would kind of be the ultimate black swan a vent rather i think the german government is actually really kind of concerned about exposure right now i mean china in the last several years has been on a major buying spree throughout the country will throughout the continent really but definitely focusing in on germany and you have to remember as g.c.c. the power company that was interested in investing in fifty hertz it is

a state run company which meant that which means that if it were to purchase fifty hertz then that becomes like giving the keys to the castle to the communist government in china right now and that's something that i think the german incumbent was a little bit reticent to reson to do given the extreme buying spree that china is going through right now the buying spree how serious is china's involvement in key industries and germany for example well it is rather i don't to say alarming but it is noticeable when you actually look at how much money they're spending here and twenty seventeen alone they invested thirteen billion dollars in an acquisition spree that saw them take over fifty different companies in key industries throughout the country here in germany now these are companies that are involved in the automotive industry in future technologies like nubile energy biotech and it's all part of a. larger campaign by the chinese government where they say they want to have reached the world's pinnacle by twenty fifty in terms of high tech development and it really does look like they see german know how as being

a key component of that success if they are allowed to get that far. is one thing but is the president of china using this kind of influence it has over foreign companies strategically well it depends really on who you ask on china has had kind of a well a rather varied reputation when it comes intellectual property worldwide for a long time it's used as economic soft power to get access to european and american patents and intellectual property in many countries and various companies have accused them of abusing doesn't that soft power with some of the regulations that they impose on foreign companies wanting to do business with in china so the nessus there isn't necessarily a precedent for them abusing the soft power in terms of like military military goals like turning off the power as you suggested earlier however there is a president for them using that economic leverage they have to gain access to intellectual property in a way that kind of rubs many europeans and americans the wrong way briefly if you

can how will john i react to this rather hostile move. well i'm not necessarily certain it's hostile you have to remember if you look at some of the chaos that we're seeing coming out of the white house right now and out of washington. china is increasingly realizing that it can't rely on the u.s. in terms of supporting its economic backbone and instead it's turning more and more to europe and we're seen kind of some strange bell bedfellows being created between germany and china they might necessarily have the same goals when it comes to human rights when it comes to social democracy but their in their economic goals their goals their interest in free train are definitely allied so i wouldn't see i would expect that strong response from china of thank you very much. now according to a pipeline project that's just recently been heavily criticised by u.s. president donald trump that is highly controversial within europe to construction work on north stream to has begun and if everything goes according to plan the nine

point five billion euro project will start pumping gas by the end of next year is said to double gas shipments from russia to germany north stream to will run along his older sister pipeline through the baltic sea neighboring coastal states are divided in their opinion about the project finland and sweden have already endorsed it while denmark is still undecided huge environmental clubs as the baltic states and poland oppose north stream two due to concerns over europe's dependency on russian gas ukraine is also against it the new pipeline puts a question mark over its current status as a major gas transit country and the revenues of course that come with it just got a version for also sparked criticism by the united states donald trump would like to sell more american gas to europe. coming to bragg's it's a poll for the times newspaper shows that a majority in britain now favor

a second referendum on bragg's it this is the european union steve bracks had negotiated michel barnier ruled out allowing the u.k. to collect customs duties on the behalf of key u.k. proposal for post brags that trade boss bonnie is set that could threaten the use customs union and other key policies britain is said to leave the bloc next march so the deal needs to be in place by toba to give national parliament enough time to ratify it. with rates of heating up it's not just the political climate that's seeing growing divisions between britain and the continent the heat wave sweeping europe at the moment has led to a long delays at the channel tunnel temperatures over thirty degrees overwhelmed the air conditioning aboard some of the tri. so cars and passengers are forced to wait for cooler carriages the brits are facing the heat with their trademark stiff upper lip and the continental treats ice free make you say sales.

that's all your business it's not right. thank you very much. talking about the heatwave in greece recriminations are mounting about how the authorities handled the deadly wildfire earlier this week and why they didn't order an immediate evacuation at least eighty three people were killed in the blaze which spread through a seaside resort town close to the capital athens authorities suspect the fire was started deliberately. paradise lost of atticus easton shoreline the mediterranean sea claims as blue as ever but on shore so many of the homes and hotels that once stood here are gone. on monday the flames charge through here at sixty kilometers per hour almost everyone fled towards the bache is only the firefighters have the mains to try and resist the flames often in vying.

for years of service. seeing so much. of it sometimes we can look course it's something. to stop and. investigators say the blaze took just ninety minutes to write down the mountain towards the coast many residents simply had no chance to a skype and more monday was extremely hot and we need grace the government suspects the worst fires were no accident. i would like to stress that we have serious indications and findings of criminal activity namely arson. the police are also still trying to identify victims relatives of the missing have been gathering need their forensics lab the agony is compounded by anger at the government which they choose of botching the evacuation of residents one confronted

grace's defense minister as he visited victims. no one notified anyone to fire engines didn't come nothing you leftist of the messy of god and. the residents would stick by monday's blaze were living in an area known to be prone to fire breaks are now asking why authorities weren't better prepared and why so many perished. a major international conference on preventing the spread of hiv which can also develop into fatal aids is taking place in amsterdam the netherlands hiv infection rates on cruising in ponce of the was like eastern europe and central asia let's take a look at some facts and figures thirty six point nine million people worldwide are living with hiv in the united nations says that last year around one point eight million people went newly affected annually aids related deaths peaked at one point nine million in two thousand and four since then the number has been falling and

the decline was dramatic at first but now it's leveled off at around a million a year the trend for the new number the number of new infections a similar falling by almost half since the peak in one thousand nine hundred six but losing pace since two thousand and ten there's no cure for hiv so people can only be helped to live with it however new hiv infections can be avoided altogether and a treatment corporeally exposure prophylaxis or prep is proving to be at least part of the answer search a recent research has confirmed that it can significantly reduce people's chances of contracting hiv now for more on this story i'm joined on the line from the international aids conference is matthew hutson he's standing by in amsterdam he's executive director of aids map and hiv information website welcome to d.w.

matthew so we've heard about this promising medicine that seems to stop new infections what is your assessment of this prep bill and how effective it is. well prep when it's taken is incredibly effective i mean what we've seen from a number of studies they were looking at that was initially we were thinking it was about eighty six percent but actually what we see is someone is one hundred percent to do and if they take the drugs as directed then we seem very close to one hundred percent i think is a and that's incredibly exciting so the big bill does something very promising to try many people across the what actually have access to this kind of treatment and is it affordable. well at the moment we think it's somewhere between three hundred and three hundred thousand people taking crap. about half of those are in them are in america. and we are seeing some kind of quite exciting programs both the chinese role that track you know other countries a my my home country of england we have

a child which is ongoing at the moment and that places the ten thousand people. but that isn't enough to meet the demand with my colleagues that tara take this job . in england i've just offered to support an intentional thousand people to be able to buy it because it is an expensive drug and that it's up to creating. tonge isn't barriers to accessing graft now as we saw in the gulf early and some is the number of new cases has slowed but in others like russia the infection of easy is on the rise why. well i mean russia has in place a whole as opposed to is a survey of the on how well in terms of a chubby percentage for one they it's quite a big society so it's quite difficult a man old bisexual man to access health services is very.

can quite strict laws harsh laws against sex workers and again on to the to keep population and against intravenous drug users or isn't working to support the people who are most likely to require a massive huge problem a bigger problem is that they're not treating people a lot of people in russia or not getting hold of the treatment which is about now they effect and the treatment also stops people passing the bar so on to what russia has done for its policies is that you create the perfect environment for each of you to flourish. matthew hutson executive director of aids map an asia only information web site thank you very much for your thoughts thank you know when the moon rises to man in retreat much of the what's the longest talking lunar eclipse of the twenty first century the dhoti face when the moon has no direct light from the sun will last a one all forty two minutes and fifty seven seconds that's when the moon will look

the reaction there to construct three. i am well yeah those are very interesting comments like these but you know there are there has been no official reaction from the indian government so far and i have to say dreamily the reaction here has been fairly clear you know there have been some national t.v. channels which actually leave a little around corners in the park and on to. complain that the leaders were treated like a village in a bollywood. but the probably no here is that iran kondraty it call it the pakistani army you wonder prince get on whether the army would really allow its government to take an independent position on rebuilding ties with india india and pakistan are not just neighbors but they also made bitter rivals they fought wars against each other but many ordinary indians know him as a spectacular cricketer and what are india's expectations off the new prime

minister when he dust officially take office. you're right on that i mean enron con is really widely known in india as much sort of cricket as as well as being a plum flamboyantly boy you know just to go and that's what i thought in college didn't get the height of the cookie korea but i think you know perceptions of him change here ever since he kind of conform to the conservative populists with addition of one who has also been reported here to a pub not too good to come back and look at all the possible actions really not going down where he was i would say is the perceptions that really makes here about iran come. to an f. on the in the indian captain deady thank you very much for giving us reactions there to imran khan's election in neighboring pakistan. again now guess how tonight he business news and he joins me with that thank you very much only to the annual summit off the brics emerging economies has wrapped up in south africa

your future. like uganda india was once a british colony it hopes that shared history can help bolster its foothold in africa indian companies have invested heavily in the continent for years china has also poured money into africa largely in the form of development loans between two thousand and two thousand and fourteen it made six billion dollars available annually in the last three years alone it offered sixty billion dollars that money goes to roads dams power plants and agricultural technology all bound to chinese companies and suppliers while the e.u. and us still invest more in africa chinese trade on the continent has taken off the e.u. hopes to catch up with a series of free trade agreements it's now negotiating across africa the us economy is growing at its fastest pace in four years fostering second quarter

growth of four point four percent the commerce department said that the expansion is being powered by a rebound in consumer spending exports and firm business investment analysts believe that president trump's tax overhaul may have encourage consumers to spend their extra money in stores. this use me they appear to be confident about the future of the economy as more and more durable goods was sold by washing machines or refrigerators late last year congress passed from one point five trillion dollars tax cuts to boost economic growth. shares in twitter plunged seventeen percent in early trading that's after the short messaging service that the number of monthly users was down by one million in the second quarter and it expects the further drop in the near future user numbers are declining as twitter intensifies efforts to fight spam fake accounts and hate speech strick to privacy rules in europe have also made business harder twitter is the second major social

media firm to report a decline in uses after facebook it came just a day off of the world's biggest social media platform suffered the biggest ever one day loss in dollar value for u.s. company a new emissions test for cars is causing massive delays and faults far w. plans to throttle back production of some models and is being forced to stockpile the goals of cannot be sold because they're still waiting to be tested. this the car park is full of its new cars waiting for approval the delivery of up to two hundred fifty thousand calls could be delayed and v.w. is even renting parking space to stockpile them. they have plans to use palin's new airport that hasn't yet opened all the company's own testing grounds costs are said to be in the millions. b.w. is testing its cars around the clock against the new w l t p standard this new emissions test takes three times longer than the old one. we've been

preparing intensively for this for two or three years for v.w. in particular it's just the sheer number of vehicles that's a problem we have to recertify about two hundred models before the deadline it's a huge undertaking there was all. of the two hundred models v.w. has so far only had three certified to meet the new standard that takes effect in september carmakers b.m.w. and further down the line this bottleneck has forced v.w. to partly shut down production at its main plant involved spoke a spokesperson says this largely hasn't affected morale for the amount of the mountain in four staff members are supporting the company it's part of their lives so it's a regulation that can be accepted on both sides after the first of september v.w. can't sell any new vehicles without this test so he needs to step things up. business news. thanks very much now every summer thousands of young russians attend

some a campus with a difference as well as sitting around campfires and sleeping in tents they learn to fire guns and simulate carrying a building of terrorists these so court patriotic summer camps are growing in popularity. a summer holiday playing war these kalashnikov machine guns may not be loaded with real bullets but it did but camp the boys are learning how to handle them the kids here are aged between ten and sixteen. over the last i know that clutch. little it's nikita's first time in the military summer counter the fifteen year old is from nearby moscow like many of the boys he wants to try out life as a soldier here to decide if it's for him. you don't feel like

a normal russian citizen here you feel like a soldier maybe even in another country and on a secret mission it's totally different from normal life so when the teacher. today the boys are swinging into action to clear a building of terrorists. the instructors say these are current real life scenarios from the russian army's operations. the instructors in the camp of a military background several are even actively serving soldiers though the program is open to girls the camp counselors see it as a male rite of passage. to me i would make them sleep with their weapons each with their weapons a man should always have a weapon with him it's a job to protect the weak and to protect women if it doesn't have a weapon he's not even a man anymore. but it is a private camp and receives no government funding but the idea matches the mood in

russia a recent government survey shows that over ninety percent of people in russia feel patriotic. and. so far military summer camps are the exception rather than the rule in russia but a recent. education in the country praises the camps it says they're a good way of instilling patriotism in young people. or. we need a strong generation we should all know how to protect the country and bring up decent kids. if you like we missed out on bringing up a whole generation in the ninety's after the fall of the soviet union. compensating for vets and that's why the government is also putting an emphasis on these military patriotic cameras. right there in the security where. the battalion gathers to review the day before but the organizers insist the camp is about teamwork and not about patriotism or preparing

a new generation to fight for russia patriotism is important to me as the law for your home country when she had the camp it also plays a role if you have the feeling already it develops here it's impossible not to be patriotic here but the. nikita is still deciding whether the army is for him in the long run but for some of the boys this camp has clearly kindled a flame that will be hard to put out. now you've likely heard of the me too movement with women all over the world using that hash tag online to speak up about their experiences with sexual misconduct not a similar hash tag is trending here in germany but the slight twist me to spend in this case but the number two people are using it to document their experiences with racism the list show from the social media desk has that story for us and joins me now so welcome first of all what's the people's message here.

people are using the hashtag me to to talk about racism that they have experience in their day to day lives here in germany and in some cases it really started when they were very young they were already made to feel that they are different from the rest of the group for example in school or in kindergarten i can show you one example and she is from southern germany and that this is what she said on twitter so she writes my mom got up early every day to cook something special for me to take to school i never had the heart to tell her how much i was bullied for that as the food i brought was always vietnamese and never traditional german and we also reached out to our viewers and our users we asked them to share their stories with us we have a video from texan who is from the city of afa and this is what he told us.

here comes in to kind of showing them to. force their movement grow hope and show them to visit. me to. and in fact what he just mentioned they're having to change his name to pretend to have a typical german name so that he can be able to rent an apartment that is something that many people have talked about that one user even wrote to us and telling us that she did not get an apartment she wanted to rent because the landlord straight out told her that he does not want an african to live in his apartment unless what is the significance of the name why did they choose to still need to. well the idea was actually inspired by me so it is the old so he quit the german national team and in his statement he said that he has the two hearts beating within him he says he has a turkish heart because its families are originally from turkey and that also the german heart because he is a german citizen and that is something that inspired chan who is also originally

from turkey but has been living here in germany since he was two he is the one who started this hashtag saying ok there are two sides to us we might have a foreign background but we are also a german so we want to also be considered a german and the he also said more about his inspiration in the video that i'm going to show you. how many. times i would. like to comment on. tool time. i spend my day time talk to ones and. for starting this hashtag starting this discussion for example here and message

from a journalist from munich he says i find it valuable because it lets us know we are not paranoid or overly sensitive because it does happen and it happens to so many of vasant i mean it's not just people talking about how they are facing racism in germany it's also a discussion about how different people perceive racism for example you have the typical question of where are you from often followed by where are you really from the so some people see that as somebody just being interested in my background say that if somebody asked me that then this person is a racist because why are they asking me because. well intuitive from us is reaching its climax this weekend in one of the moody from the devon sports desk is here to tell us about the new british cycling kiddle hi ali lovely to see you last time i see you a sawyer you were on in moscow covering the world cup welcome back now tell me what

is your in thomas he's leading the race britain seems utterly dominant in the world of cycling what well that's right great britain did sort of suddenly become this dominant force in cycling some of it goes back to the london twenty twelve olympics well before the olympics when the british government pumps money into certain sports that they thought british athletes could do well in but a lot of it has to be said is down to team sky they brought a level of innovation a level of competitiveness as well perhaps that just hadn't existed in british cycling up to that point it's not a solely british team as we said there are non british writers in the team but they have always focused heavily on british writers as we can see from the fact that two of the original group of writers write so much the current leader of the sort of france and chris froome the writing champion of course speaking of those two guys we do need to catch up on what's been happening in the torso let's take a look at what happened in stage eighteen. a largely flat stage provides

a good platform for the tools breakaway specialists and five writers julie took advantage on one hundred seventy kilometer course from treece a base to pro. but as is often the case the peloton soon caught up with twenty kilometers to go the sprinters were ready to take over. a mass sprint ensued with producing a perfectly timed dash to the finish line it was the first stage win for a french team at this year's tour meanwhile garonne thomas tightened his grip on the lead is yellow jersey but he's expecting a tougher run in the pyrenees mountains on friday expecting the worst just a guy's turn to go in the tax movie. and obviously the final point. so we're just going to be ultra vigilant thomas goes into the final two competitive stages with a lead of just under two minutes. ok so only the really champion chris froome has

had a couple of ups and downs what's more down than up as well chris for him you know he's used to being wrapped up in the yellow jersey by this point of a total frons but this time it's not going quite so planned for and he's playing second fiddle to his team thomas and it's been a very controversial couple of weeks for him we see here some pictures from just the other day when he had a alter cation with a french policeman who thought he was a fan after a stage ended and actually knocked him off his bike now from reacted as you can see there quite angrily this is just the latest kind of in what has been a really difficult tore for him he was where he failed a drug test actually earlier on in the tour he was then cleared of wrongdoing but clearly this is not sat well with the french public he was actually punched by a fan he's at various things thrown at him as he's been riding a very difficult time for him it's not what he's used to right and we have told us what thomas got and when head is clean coming that is i'm going to criticism i will grant thomas you know he he has been a bit of

a tonic shall we say for team sky but i still think part of the reason people don't like team sky is they're so successful it's a bit like by munich in the league you know so another teams guy when i don't think would actually help from that point of view i think there's still this kind of this boredom perhaps from the french public with team sky but certainly team sky won't care they've got this ultra competitive edge another tall win would be perfect for them and i think succeeds like you would if you must first says thank you very much . artists from africa are setting the agenda for a continent on the move this is important for africa to. use africa through music through a new generation of africans who are more interested in the future this guy he is. nigeria was only. the statements from three people involved in the field in africa and the special edition of the program this weekend featuring

a wealth of african culture that robin merritt from death is here to talk a little bit about that welcome robin everyone is talking about african culture at the moment why. i think it's because it's been relatively it hasn't a pumping rich of the undiscovered. treasure trove of riches that is african art and it's been uncovered in recent years really it's as simple as that there's a lot going on that the program by the way you mentioned we have a report on the great south african artist william kent tridge his latest exhibition in frankfurt where there's also a report on an annual africa festival that takes place in vote spoke in southern germany but we're going to show you now things in africa itself and let's focus on that first visit to lagos in nigeria which is the fastest growing city in africa if not the world perhaps and this is being reflected in its frightening up scene.

the neco art gallery houses thousands of works it's a treasury of contemporary nigerian art. as the founder is known is a major figure in the lagos art scene she opened her first gallery fifty years ago i think i'm not gone i mean. so nigeria. is going to be the hope because this is the biggest i've got lardy in the whole fifty four countries right now i need to meet with. one of the artists whose exhibited there is featured on the t.s.a. her works were also featured at the first nigerian pygmalion at the venice biennale and. she openly addresses social issues such as child marriage. here her figures are covered with pain relief. so this this work is called thing. unconscious struggle i need. the narrative or the.

child bride. i know how certain cultures think. it's talking so sometimes i wonder why no one is looking no one is near them i may have a movement to check themselves or be it be inflected what their actions or introspective about what they do i always wonder what they. think. since true war when i need to go. painter sam ever han is inspired by the uncontrolled development and chaos of lagos his work is known for its celebration of colors with broad brush strokes the fragments his motifs to create fascinating picture puzzles. where i started being in a type two at the same time. how to be looking at

a paintings somebody once told me that my paintings. able to see very nice things involving us you're looking at a very sad things. up to mizzen and productivity not frustration and stagnation that seems to be the motto of many contemporary artists in lagos their work is attracting more and more interest on the domestic as well as international art markets. thirty knots of optimism on the continent of africa but how is african austyn globally it's doing very well considering it didn't almost didn't exist i would say recent is a decade ago but it has to be said it's only a small sort of fraction of the global law market i mean the global market is dominated by the u.s. china and the u.k. they have eighty three percent of the global market from enough africa the

continent that has about two percent which is about the same as germany but it's growing and growing all the time and of course let's talk about the music scene african music has been internationally they profit of course in memphis got a visa variation within africa. as mentioned in the report fifty four countries in africa but i have to concentrate all balled so if the other fifty three will forgive me it's music from mali we're coming to you now because africa produces fabulous musicians but mali just seems to have an endless flow of incredible musicians like to nara when sound of kate's. two or a there's loads of them and this wonderful lady who i particularly like is fun to deal with let's just hear a secretary. this is a song called until rainy and i wish to sing about migration and people losing their

faith suffered by loss of people in africa or the moment she actually escaped an arranged marriage as a teenager in mali and fled to france and she's now nowadays based in paris but lyrics are still predominantly about africa on the problems in africa indeed she's spoken about female genital mutilation and songs as well so i think with a really long letter and she's on tour if you encounter hana in spain the moment she's all metal. thank you very much for being that incredible music and as that is at african arts to grab your washing do you have a news that's it from us about back.
