player. playing. place to. play. this is you know we do use life for a girl in a matter of life or death. we are in the deep trouble we've got maturing u.n. secretary general antonio within as soon as the world is not moving merely fast enough to prevent catastrophic climate change we'll get an expert view from the un climate conference in poland also coming up the far right gain

a foothold in spain for the first time since the franco dictatorship the box party looks set to kick out the socialists in the southern province of and alysia plus progress on peace talks for yemen as the un evacuated injured rebels iran says it will back negotiations due to begin soon in sweden a look at the dire famine situation in that country. and also coming up on the next sixty minutes a surprise announcement from qatar the gulf state is withdrawing from the opec oil cartel it's been a member for nearly six decades so what's behind the move. and overcoming all odds we meet the nigerian taxi driver with no legs who's worked out his only way of getting through the notorious city traffic in lagos. play. thanks so much for

your company everyone all right we start off this broadcast with some dire warnings about climate change u.n. secretary general antonio tennis has warned that the world is way off course and fighting global warming he was speaking in the polish city of khartoum where the u.n. conference on climate change has begun here's what he said we are deep trouble with climate change climate change is running faster than we. and we much kept shop sooner rather than late to be forty two years too late for many people regions even countries this is already a matter of life or death and this meeting is the most important gathering on climate change since the bears agreement was signed it's if these are true overstates the urgency of our situation while un secretary general to do

with it is there speaking a little earlier well the two weeks of talks in poland aim to produce guidelines on implementing the paris climate accord which comes into force in twenty twenty one of its main goals is keeping the global temperature rise to below two degrees celsius by the end of the century the u.n. says greenhouse gas levels are once again on the rise if the current trend continues the world may be heading for a temperature increase of three to maybe even five degrees on to keep warming below two degrees countries will have to cut carbon dioxide emissions by twenty five percent by twenty thirty m. by twenty seventy five bring those emissions down to zero all george marshall of a climate outreach an organization that aims to widen engagement with climate change is attending the conference in poland and i asked him why so few people seem prepared to do with needed to reach those targets. well i think the first thing to say is but governments of signally failed to engage people across their populations

the vast majority of people are still not involved in climate change is an issue they know very little about it you know the convention that was signed over twenty years ago requires every government to educate and inform the people they failed to do about i think they're politically scared of the issue and they haven't gotten involved with it so we're constantly trying to catch up people need to be aware of the scale of a problem but i also need to see in the story and that's the other that's the other failing i think people think it's all about big business all that it's all about government i actually don't see themselves in it it doesn't speak to my values their identity what's important to them so mr marshall what can people do concretely i mean how can individuals make a difference. the most important thing for people to do is to actually to talk about it i mean of course we all have an impact in our lives in the way that we live. but the thing which is going to move us forward on this is when people say to governments i'm not going to vote for

you unless you take action on me so i say to a business i'm going to buy your product unless you are taking action on this and for that to happen people must be really engaged with it and that means we need to talk about it you know the vast majority of people don't actually think or talk about climate change from one year to the next so if a critical emphasis now has to be on reaching people as you are on this program same with this is important also saying get out there talk about it think about it discuss it in your workplace in your church with your family and i think we have to break his silence because we've been quiet about this for too long over twenty years now we haven't talked about this now family people to my word there's a real problem here maybe it's too late and it isn't too late as long as we're starting gauging with it actively all right now there is this relatively new concept of living c o two neutral meaning that humans leave as little impact on the planet as possible and do you think that that's taking it

a step too far though. i think we all need to take action in our own lives but again it's very important that people do that feeling of that's who they are and what they are again it has to be something which speaks to people's values for a sense of who they are if we just say to people now you have to give everything up not surprisingly a lot of people say no don't take this away from me why should you i've worked hard for this i think the important thing is what we have a sense of collective action we're all in this together that means sure we all individually do things in our lives but also we demand that business takes action we demand that government takes action we need to see action and all of this is like this like being a collective struggle so if we just say it's your fault you really have a consumer must do something that's possible to buck basically people need to feel part of a shared endeavor and then i'm confident yes people will take that action. now to george marshall founder of climate outreach thank you so much for weighing in. and

here in berlin some families are making their contribution to limiting climate change they're taking part in a project to find out how they can reduce their carbon footprint and lead an environmentally friendly lifestyle to be a news visitor one participating family you are finding that it's not always easy. it's the start of the day cutting bees and her husband have to go to work on a who's five and me a little who's three have to go to kindergarten and nico who's nine is off to school they all lead busy lives but they're taking part in a special experiment they're one of ninety households trying to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions over a period of one year a project conducted by the potsdam institute for climate impact research. what are you doing what's going on. for them biking is the

best form of transport to get to work and school rain or shine. driving produces too many greenhouse gases his name off by you can take a bike if it's snowing or icy i'm so long as it's safe for the children. let's go girls. they're trying to reduce c o two but even if they only shop organic this isn't easy. i did that on the windowsill perfect and i tend to drink water or juice but if the children want to soft drink. we're not always as consistent as we'd like to be. it's about finding a balance they try to buy fruit and vegetables grown in germany but are still willing to compromise for example when it comes to bell peppers from spain.

i like peppers yellow and red i like on both. sides of pebbles are quite healthy there's a lot of fun in them because we didn't cheat me each week more vegetables in autumn and winter pepper from spain isn't ideal but it's better than putting salami on a pizza. the whole family eats vegetarian they know that a kilo of beef translates to twelve kilos of c o two emissions sunday evening is set aside for the weekly c o two calculations they figure out how much c o two was admitted through the use of electricity there transport and food what's the result for the whole year likely to be. less not bad twenty five point one eight tons as a family that's five tonnes per person. if they continue living like this

they'll go beyond the forty percent goal and reduce their carbon footprint by fifty six percent this would be a great success says henry who is quite skeptical at the start. this is changed over the years because it's become more ambitious and try to improve things. we have quite a high potential for saving on emissions without restricting our quality of life drastically. so i would say that i'm satisfied. with. holidays are also part of the experimental comedy and visa calculated that less carbon dioxide is emitted when driving to saxony then when taking the train to visit relatives. counting days a wants to live in a society where everyone tries to offset their carbon emissions as much as possible ideally it would be a climate neutral society there's

a long way to go but she and her family has made a good start and i was for have to speak now as some of the other stories making news around the world the body of george h.w. bush is being flown from houston texas to washington d.c. a former u.s. president who died last friday will lie in state in the u.s. capitol until wednesday before state funeral at the washington national cathedral the casket will then be returned to texas for burial. french ambulance workers have joined anti-government protests blocking roads near the national assembly in paris riot police prevented the paramedics from getting close to the parliament building a protest against changes in working conditions follows days of civil unrest in france. now could talks to end the conflicts in yemen start this week iran has said it will support the peace talks which could start in sweden as early as wednesday iran's move comes after the saudi led coalition fighting in yemen

agreed to fly out fifty injured with the rebels the rebels are supported by iran and the medical evacuation is part of confidence building efforts ahead of peace talks the fate of with the rebels it was a stumbling block in previous efforts to start talks international groups are trying to bring about an end to this conflict which has pushed the country into famine we have this look now at a school in the capital sanaa that is trying to provide food to keep its students alive. five hundred bread rolls for the young honey girl's school in santa two for each student the recess and first meal of the day are highly anticipated apart from here at school many children have next to nothing to eat. nebulized of my father doesn't have a job anymore i'm very thankful to the school for the food and that's the situation i was in we had. no money as parents were impoverished by the war the school's

director says many children are suffering because of the saudi so many students lost their parents through bombs and rockets into houses factories and shops. and that many empty hospitals can cope there's a lack of medical supplies children are especially hard hit according to the ngo save the children tens of thousands have died from a nutrition and infection eight million yemenis are just barely surviving now with the help of outside aid. and the sustained war causes more deaths every single day . back at their own heinie girls' school in santa lentil soup is on the menu for lunch. it's funded by the german charitable organization future for kids. i can and then as a man hand it poverty is spreading medicines and only and we used to give

a daily mail to thirty to forty girls now it's three hundred to four hundred and that's me out of the army and. a bit of hope within the misery i these children are learning and have a warm meal every day but only as future and that of many other children in yemen is unknown because there's not yet any sign of an end to the war. our i'd like to welcome now bettina luscher spokesperson of the u.n. world food program so. to have you here with this in person especially your organization recently warned betty of violence in yemen doesn't stop now it will become quote a country of living ghosts its people were dues to sacks of bones why has this war let the famine because it brought everything to a halt yemen even before the war was one of the poorest countries they always needed to import food they cannot produce it themselves and now with more than

three years of fighting people are absolutely desperate little children are dying have the kids that have died in this conflict have died from now nutrition. infrastructure is destroyed the economy is destroyed people are absolutely desperate that's why this horrible conflict just simply has to end now of course so we've seen videos of starving children children so malnourished they can hardly breathe very disturbing a footage is coming out of yemen what does this mean for the future of that country of the future is an is in turmoil these little children some of them are four months old they only way to kilos we have seen children that died shortly after our people came to visit them. and what it means that this this whole generation has no future the families that absolutely despondent many of the many of them just cook

some leaves and in water we trying to do a lot the world food program is bringing food to eight million people this month we're going to scale up to ten million people we're going to try to reach twelve million people but under the most difficult circumstances because often our aid workers are blocked the mills for the wood ground the meat we don't have access to often it is really the worst humanitarian crisis anywhere on this planet right now right now there might be some hope of u.n. broker talk. getting underway on a wednesday as early as wednesday in sweden do you think they would cheat anything that's all we can hope for this conflict needs a diplomatic solution these women and children need a chance to live and only if the warring sides stop fighting if the men with the guns go quiet then these little children will have a chance so we we hope that everybody would show up in sweden that all parties

will agree to the talks and that they come to some agreement but we should not not have any you know and you hope that this is going to be a long long process this is not going to be done in a few weeks i'm just wondering your organization i know you're disappointed by the fact that the international community has been so slow to act oh well on the humanitarian front they have been acting a lot you know aid workers have been there we've been there for fifty years. on the political front and everybody every country that has any influence on the warring sides this is not a local conflict this is an international conflict they should use all of their power to influence their sides so that there's a chance at the bargaining table all right thank you so very much for to have the show you one world food program spokesperson greatly appreciate you spending time with us and. and we are going to have to spend an hour in

a far right party has won seats in an election for the first time since the end of the franco dictatorship there regional voting and the new c.e.o. has left the anti migrant to your skeptic vox party poised to overturn decades long rule by the socialists the vox party leader says he hopes to put together a coalition with the center right citizens' party. europe's nationalist wave has arrived in spain. the vox party secured twelve seats in andalusia a region with a high rate of both unemployment and migration the party's president is confident they can now take their regional games to the national level. and illusions once again have made history they have shaken off thirty six years of socialist regimes paving the way for the rest of spain by saying that it's possible. to do the same

and the rest of the country equal much but he doesn't know that i feel the election has severely weakened the governing socialists although they secured the most seats they fell short of a majority despite this their valley to stop the rise of the far right. the music an alternative for an delusions does not mean that our government will become a reflection of this right wing party of which is xenophobia and justifies violence against women and among citizens. ever since the end of francisco franco's dictatorship in one thousand nine hundred eighty five to socialists have dominated politics in the region but sunday's election has shaken the status quo the ballot was the first major test for prime minister pedro sanchez who leads a minority government and with a host of elections coming up in twenty nineteen spain socialists face a crucial year. let's get you know some context on the rise of the right in this

southern spanish region to. use the public is in the capital madrid good to see you paul and of course spain's fascist dictatorship of francisco franco is still fresh in people's minds and because of that experience the country was considered inoculated against far right movements not anymore. no not anymore and i think that that's exactly if you've hit the nail on the head i mean people felt here that a far right party would never make any gains in spain in fact in the last sociological research report that's carried out spain every few months by a public entity and only one percent of people said that they would vote for vox in the opinion polls in iraq to the the under lucian vote it said that basically between four and five percent of people would vote for vox it turned out to be more than ten percent and i would say that people in spain still feel almost that it's i would go as far as saying almost a subject to say that you would vote for

a far right party here in spain but it seems that things are definitely changing on them c.-a might be the beginning of some thing that may spread across the rest of the country where it will talk to us all a bit more public about what exactly a change i mean how was the vox party able to connect with the electorate in the new c.e.o. what do they stand for. well we saw it in the report there are several of their main topics of conversation will say their policies have been about immigration let's not forget that on that a very high percentage of unemployment it still stands at over twenty percent and also the vast majority of the migrants arriving on spanish shores are entering through under the sea of course because of geographical regions being then in the south the stain on its proximity to north africa they very much focused as well on the idea of spanish nationalism this feeds out of the cutline independence movement they felt that too much power was being given to the regional governments and they

used catalonia as the prime example of this so the idea of a centralized spain without much regional autonomy was something that seems to have appealed to many voters down in on that and also finally the fact that under the sea as a region that for almost four decades has essentially had the same government in place and i'm this seems also to be one of the things that has struck a chord with many of the voters and the south they want a change they want a change and with the final seconds that i have left with you pablo what's next are we going to see spain's most populous region under the sea is governed by the far right. well we're going to have to wait a few weeks possibly even a few months to socialist say that they want to form a government but the other parties of the p.p. the party people. are determined to form a government in on the loose and they haven't ruled out including vox in that formation so in the next days and weeks we'll find out whether vox do actually enter the under lucy in parliament as part of the government which is certainly

something which is going to shock many spaniards are region to watch publicly as we're pretty from the spanish capital madrid thank you so much for your insights. and i'm going to hand you over now to helena and opec loses a member that's right the gulf state of qatar has announced that it's leaving opec it's going it alone leaving of course the influential cartel of oil producing nations it's been a member for almost six decades in the country says it wants to focus on developing its exports of liquefied natural gas but many analysts see it as a political move as far as break ups go this one was abrupt and seemingly out of the blue here's how qatar's energy minister delivered the news that his country's fifty seven year membership of the world's most important group of oil producing nations was coming to an end the state of qatar has decided to withdraw its membership from the organization of petroleum exporting countries of

effective january twenty ninth. this decision was communicated to operate this morning opec is made up of fifteen countries it was founded in one thousand nine hundred sixty with the goal of helping members benefit from a steady rise in oil prices so just how big a role does it play globally at present opec nations hold almost eighty two percent of the world's reserves qatar by itself controls one point seven percent of the stockpile it might not sound significant but for a country of just two point seven million it punches above its way yes. the decision to withdraw from opec will enable the country to increase production outside of the cartels constraints but it's also being read as a slight to the group's leading member saudi arabia which last year instigation a boycott of qatar accusing us of supporting terrorists qatar is energy minister

denies there's a political motive that has nothing to do with the blockade. if you look at the. status of the opec if any country wants to withdraw. what it has to do is basically put in writing its request or its decision to withdraw and it basically was it was in the next calendar the. qataris decision to leave opec may not cause major damage to the group but it certainly calls into question its reputation for pushing shared economic interests above politics. french president emanuel macko has now decided to postpone his upcoming trip to serbia for the next couple of weeks which the situation in france protests is known as the yellow vests took to the streets three weeks ago demonstrating against a planned increase in fuel taxes and their dwindling purchasing power those protests turned violent over the weekend and while process is and police continue

to clash the unrest is having real effects on the country's economy. both patience and fuel in short supply in france as the so-called yellow best protests continue. gas stations in britain have started to run dry as protesters block the deliveries. and in paris ambulance workers join the strikes. the accuse the government of president i'm on your ma call of ignoring their demands. bella. was on the mall that was and you are resorting to violence had it says we absolutely must be heard there's just as government complains about not getting any clear demands but when they have spokespeople to talk to and clear demands they don't do anything and that cannot continue to pass on no side are you with. me at times violent protests started over a planned hike in fuel taxes and have morphed into

a larger critique of mccall's economic policy which protesters claim disproportionately favors the rich. and the unrest is having a real effect on the country's economy. to you they would all be good up but i can tell you today that this impact continues to be serious. since we now see a decline in business turnover of fifteen to twenty five percent of depending on which sector. you saw. the images of violence and destruction are already hitting france's tourism business as visitors cancel their plans. small business news coming up a little later first is the. thank you so much and i see in a bit you're watching every news we still have a lot more to tell you about saying colluding it's the biggest swung lake ever and new production of the celebrated ballet has just had its german premiere break here in the capital city berlin and it has a twist culture editor robin merrill well tell us what makes this particular song

lake different from all the rest. and trust me you know want to see this is stick around i'll see you after these messages. of. weapons from the west start being used on the battlefield in. our exclusive report reveals how saudi arabia and the united arab emirates buy weapons in europe. and just put them on the front violation of international law the such the enduser

yemen and the global arms trade. in forty five minutes. how to cover more than just one reality. where i come from we have a transatlantic way of looking at things that's because my father is from germany and my mother is from the united states of america and so i realized fairly early that it makes sense to explain the different realities. i'm out here at the heart of the european union in brussels we have twenty eight different realities and so i think people are really looking for any journalist they can trust for them to. make sense of it. by the mismatch of i work at. the. continent is reinventing itself. as africa's tech scene

discovers it's true potential. inventors entrepreneurs and high tech professionals talk about their visions successes and day to day business interest. its. history in the everyone. seems to know how to fish the. digital africa starts december twelfth w. good to see you again you're watching the news on my own here rock n roll and these are main headlines this hour the u.n. secretary general antonio with at us has said the world is not moving fast enough to prevent a climate catastrophe he was opening the annual conference on climate change in the polish city of captivates out and the gulf state of qatar has announced that it is

to pull out of the oil cartel opec qatar's energy minister said they were leaving so they could focus on gas production is the first time i meet these nation has left the organization. we now had to nigeria and it's mega city of lagos it's loud crowded and often exhausting and that's especially true for people with mobility problems because the city's streets contain plenty of obstacles if you don't use it your increase has met two men who are no longer waiting for the authorities to do something about it. another typical day in the mind blowing chaos of traffic in lagos. for over fifteen years. has been driving one of the countless mini buses in the nigerian metropolis six years ago he was involved in an accident and lost his legs but that hasn't stopped him from driving. i think it is great

that he walks despite his disability i am happy for him a lot of people in his position were just back. he drives quite well better than some with two legs. driving without legs is possible thanks to a special apparatus brakes and gas are controlled via the hand but his driving aid does have a hefty price about six hundred euros abiodun managed to raise the money with a lot of help from family and friends. is the man behind the driving route he contracted polio as a child and did not want to be dependent on his siblings so he invented the driving aid and then founded the company. heard about the invention by pure coincidence. because it was a recent. new york it. was. the

flaws in a lot of sentence when he came here he was a bus driver drive a gain and i said no you can't drive again these are you sure i said yes and it wasn't me didn't believe me onto we did a walk and you drove here it was like you just woke up from the day you know so that's the kind of thing that much of what we encourage. to date his company has sold over four hundred driver assist plus wheelchairs and prostheses as well at one point zero company employed forty people but the economic crisis in nigeria forced him to lay off most of them many of the potential customers are not able to afford his products without support from the government. so. we're.

disappointed in how people with disabilities are treated the businessman walks twice as hard so as not to let his disability dictate his life. as well. as. for us. to do. his no good. because. you know. what's good. after ten hours on the job. calling it a day there are no looks of pity from his neighbors of approval his next goal is to save enough money and buy himself a new bus. or at let's go now to egypt where we're dealing

dress has landed an actress there in hot water run your use of has found herself having to apologize after appearing at a film festival in a lisi seethrough gown and she could even face prison time with me here is e w social media editor jarrett are read ok well let's figure out what's what went on here much ado about this address just what exactly happened so this is all about running a useless appearance at the car international film festival last week where she really did steal the show in this dress that's causing all the fuss we can get a look at rania here standing on the red carpet she's wearing a black embroidered see through down which as we can see here has exposed most of her legs which hasn't necessarily gone down very well she was accused of violating egyptian morals and values by wearing these and so there's a group of lawyers in egypt to basically target celebrities and people in the

general public for perceived immorality and so they filed a lawsuit rania has been charged with inciting debauchery and she faces up to five years in prison if she's convicted which is pretty incredible rania has apologized saying she does respect egyptian values and society and needless to say she says she would have worn the dress if she narain it would have caused this type of cry right because she's really in trouble now that she is exactly the reactions been in general the so when we talk about morality any time there are people in old you know both sides of the fence and there are people who do think that ronnie yousef is getting what she deserves people like one woman who wrote stop with the cowardly headlines what she did on the red carpet in cairo is not controversial it's a crime cold violating a public morals she and whoever allowed her to appeal like this must. be investigated others are saying this is all about control mona eltahawy is an

egyptian american feminist she says prosecuting such quote moral crimes and eyeballs conservative regimes in their societies to congratulate themselves on their ability to control women as i said ranny yousef did apologize and one of her fans write back to her on instagram they wrote you don't have anything to apologize for what you wear is your personal choice that's true but i guess to run a usef in egypt this is a choice that has come with some pretty devastating potential consequences all right that brings me to my next question and this whole immorality promoting immorality is this a new phenomenon in egypt or did it exist before look it's not uncommon basically there are public morality laws so there's a law in egypt that says one person can file a lawsuit against another person for full perceived immorality and that's how these lawyers have been able to target ranya yousef and other celebrities to there was

one cold. she released a video last year a little bit of a racy video that caused quite a bit of a storm it's one of her music videos these videos she was found guilty of inciting debauchery and immorality and she actually had to spend time behind bars for the. morality laws have existed for a long time but it's only been since the rule of president c.c. that they've been an uptick in people being prosecuted for that as for rania you say if she goes on trial in january so we just really have to wait and see what happens to her in the end thank you and keep tracking this story for us we'd love to hear what happens next thank you. the world cannot afford when to fail when it comes to climate change those are the words of un secretary general and trying to get ted ish opening the un conference

on climate change in the polish city of quetta vits or today and earlier the german government announced it set to pump needy one billion extra euros into the fight against air pollution transfer i'm going to the funding will help you nyssa polities tackle pollution from diesel cars and government wants to avoid more says he's adopting bans an older diesel powered vehicles. the german government is under pressure to prevent the thousands of premature deaths diesel fumes are alleged to cause each year now chancellor angela merkel has announced a boost for plans to improve quality in german cities. instead of one billion it'll be one point five billion and on top of that the government will provide another four hundred thirty two million euros for retrofitting smaller trucks. knuckles government has been struggling to deal with the fallout from the auto industry's diesel gates emissions

cheating scandal however a string of course imposed diesel bans to some in a cities has now prompted some swift responses like the new funding the bans have outraged diesel drivers so is throwing an extra billion euros at the diesel emissions problem enough. the financial subsidies for municipal. buses only impact about seven percent of the n o two emissions the majority of the missions are of course generated by cars. city mayors and local authorities want car producers to be held more accountable to offer trade and bonuses for baez of new cars and to retrofit older vehicles they say they're not responsible for the diesel dilemma right now they're having to bear the costs and the inconvenience. meanwhile madrid has just banned most

older model and diesel cars from the city center the ban was introduced on friday in an effort to improve the air quality in one of europe's most polluted capitals but the measure is controversial and critics say there are too many exceptions for the ban to really make a difference. madrid is putting the brakes on city traffic and it looks like this new traffic markings on the roads and traffic signs they're calling the scheme madrid central according to the plan only residents and cars with a special dispensation will be allowed to enter the city center and downtown is completely off limits for older models and diesel cars. which. i think it's good and will help reduce air pollution. but the air quality improves it will be good for pedestrians it's a real pain for anyone from outside the city. monitoring takes place with the help

of cameras these know to license plate numbers people found violating the new rules have to pay a nineteen year old fine electric cars or cars using natural gas or hybrid motors are exempt from the rules and madrid sidewalks are being expanded smaller roads have had their speed limits reduced to thirty kilometers per hour. period you need want to special about madrid central is that it incorporates two initiatives to improve air quality we're keeping most cars out of the city center and the ones that are allowed to drive there have to be more modern cars. taxi companies are also temporarily exempt from the restrictions until they can relocate their fleets and delivery services will need to make logistical changes to all of which has drawn criticism from business people and company owners. of small business owners that have businesses. in the city center like

a small restaurant or a bar or shop for example what will they do. we're just like residents because we also have to spend a lot of time downtown we also want to be able to drive and park there and stuff. but in the town hall they want to allow as few exceptions as possible boy a bass cat is what madrid natives call the smoke that regularly covers the city perhaps with madrid central it will soon be a far less common occurrence. all right more news now with. and we turn our attention now to bangladesh where acclaimed photographer shadow along has been accused has accused the government excuse me of suppressing free speech and intimidating journalists there earlier this year alone was arrested on charges of propaganda against the government he spent more than three months in prison before being released on bail in an exclusive interview with the news of om

warrant that the government's crackdown is having severe effects on bangladesh's media. the the culture of. the lack of press freedom creates an environment where this is good. news for you too late. there are. physical. the combination of the. journalist and the press in general it. is so much easier to tow the line it's so much easier to be in bed it is. much simpler to become government propaganda. that is very very worrying it's not simply worrying in terms of what happens to the media till the time the culture issue. and the culture issue has long been the case. and you can find the

entire interview which on our website just have to do dot com forward slash asia. we got another story about taxis for you now well more precisely about mini buses thousands of people have been affected by a new minibus ban in the kenyan capital of nairobi and commuters have been forced to walk a longer distances to work after city authorities stop the mini buses known as my tattoos from entering the city center. last week city hall announced that the metallic to use would have to stop outside nairobi central business district it says the ban is needed to decongest the city center but for many nairobi residents it's causing more problems than it solves. and the crises are in one of. five wasted a lot of time. my job requires that i move from one end of the city to another.

and also by those who come won't stop distance or the muslim brotherhood but. the issue is that many vans are not allowed into the city center look at the traffic it's causing. minivan drivers and conductors say that unless the ban is lifted nairobi residents will just have to keep on walking. football's prestigious award will be handed out tonight to the top men's player of twenty eighteen as voted for by journalists and there are also two new awards for best young player and the women's but under the men's and favorites luke and margaret should follow champions league success with real madrid and with a fantastic world cup campaign leading croatia to the final in a russian in the young player category france a world cup winner. is expected to take home the trophy while barcelona striker

this is an extract from the shanghai ballets new production of swan lake it has just had its german premiere here in berlin and this particular production has caused quite a stir in the belly world to the un and machine probably looks no different from other versions of the ballet at least at first glance but different right around now the crowd is here to tell us more about it what makes this specific rendition of a song like so special well you might have seen a clue there in the cliff or you might see the clue behind. it's being billed as the greatest swan lake in the world and it simply because the size of the cost or i should say the chord about a normally you might have sixteen swonk in the chorus big productions have

twenty four this has fourteen heat and the entire cost is nearly one hundred people. as you said it's a production from the shanghai ballet and there are forty eight songs on stage it's all being choreographed by the british choreographer derek dean he's he has done a number of small makes but none quite like this i mean it was quite a challenge while this for him i'm sure but i'm sure i know it's one he relished so without further ado let's see more of these these swarms did him all from derek dean. is a swan lake of mama's proportions it features not sixteen not twenty four but forty eight swans don't seem to be tchaikovsky's tiny school seen here attache case board a museum the production is the big. in child of celebrated british choreographer

derek dean it is the biggest. i mean there hasn't been this one the good this side is in a proceeding and theatre and not even you know the paris opera the ballad the care of the bolshoi nobody has ever created something like this so be very interesting to see audience reaction. to this i got a tsunami of swans all on and therein lies the test so many swans on the stage at once is a logistical challenge the forty eight dancers must move in perfect synchrony even the slightest mistake would ruin the illusion and the production is a particular challenge for the soloist they have to navigate around twice as many fellow dancers as usual on a new stage all the while making it look as if there's nothing to it. but the dancers could hardly be in safer hands derek dean made his name as a choreographer of

a large scale ballets to prepare for this production he studied the history of swan lake from its premier eight hundred seventy seven to its present day incarnations. you know what it was first before it was a disaster i mean everybody booed the performance is everybody said the music was trying to dreadful the choreography was appalling and they had to put the production away for many years and then it was really thought to really go with the same music through the years it became this. critics feared quantity could take precedence over quality of the production but those concerns proved unfounded. derek dean and the shanghai ballet swan lake has already received rave reviews from the world. wow robert i know what

a scale what's behind the enduring popularity of the swan lake well i think first and foremost really try koskie i mean tchaikovsky one of the great composers of all time you know he's going to be in the top ten as and they really. and he went on to compose the nutcracker and then the sleeping beauty which i mean those three have sort of the top ones of the genre i would say i mean the must be one or two of those you know and also it's one like when it has hit you doesn't it i mean it really does have the hits in it i mean you we heard the mostly the. deed but there's that's the one i mean then there's the dance of this the cygnets all the little swans you know the everybody knows those choose where they where they come from and apart from the hit t.v. . it's a timeless love story this is a print searching for his princess there's magic in that this sorcery in there i

mean it's a mixture of cinderella and romeo and juliet and the prince is looking for his for his great love of the cinderella story and then when he finds her and with romeo and juliet you know of course it's tragic love story at the end they die although spoiler alert now in this particular production they've made it a happy ending no it's not the first time this is being done but. yeah there's a happy ending basically they don't die anyway and as what is fascinating is that as their derek dean said in that report when it came out swan lake was a flop also by the way sleeping beauty and the nutcracker initially but then they sort of are. find it and of course the in the classical record she the great right and this particular production is going to be touring around the world well it has been and yeah it's here in berlin for a couple weeks then it goes to vienna for

a couple of weeks and then he goes back to shanghai and they're looking to go on and of course they need a big fish to take it over the stage big probably need an arena. thank you so much rob i'm very very impressive talk to you tomorrow alright and thank you for spending this part of your day with the sound we allow rock n roll em along side robin merrill thanks so much for spending time with us we'll see you again tomorrow.
