involuntary migration africa is home to a quarter of the world's refugees and ethiopia has become the continent's second largest hose for displaced people if you want to country some four hundred thousand of them are in the gum baler region d.w. is funny such are visited a refugee camp there please be advised that some viewers might find this report disturbing. we are traveling through a beautiful but dangerous region needed so sudanese in the impoverished lowland of ethiopia. battles conflicts among different ethnic groups. behind me that's all sudan a young independent nation but the fighting over there continues more than two million people fled to neighboring countries like you feel pia but this country produces hundreds of thousands of this place people all the it's own athlete clashes violence droughts and flooding so what's the perspective for refugees here

. it's the o.p.'s become africa second largest refugee hosting country in the gambell a region refugees number almost as many as ethiopians about four hundred thousand this camp is home to sixty thousand traumatized who fled fighting in south sudan. when the war erupted in south sudan children were set on fire and many others were abducted. the soldiers even killed blind people. people were forced to eat dead bodies and have sexual intercourse with family members. boys were forced to have sex with their mothers. this trauma will not be forgotten. in the bed room and her family feel safe in this camp it's supposed to be a temporary home but they've been here for four years already without permission to work outside the camp she fears the future looks dim. commander now that i was when

my husband was in south sudan he had a job but now he doesn't this is a problem because we depend on aids education is also a problem and i want education for my children and for myself and only then will we have a chance here and you know here. that's just one of the problems in the camp run by the u.n. and if you open government. when we compare the number of the refugees with the sort of is that we are providing to the refugee it is very. tender. say it's by the united nations high commission for refugees people and the list resource and we are keeping almost. providing the basic service which is a live saving sort of we're almost focusing on the lifesaving side of saving food food food. water and under so on outside the camp there are

mixed feelings among the local population if you ask me can you are our more water coming off refugees because many arriving from south sudan are from the same group but its u.p.s. apnic and work say they feel threatened. many of these refugees come from south sudan they're straining our resources we are getting poorer so the government should help us to if not there could be clashes with the refugees. here in the city the new prime minister has promised opportunities for everyone refugees and locals but unemployment is very high in the region especially among young people. he said we don't see any improvement regarding the youth. there are no jobs we're trying to get ahead on our own. but we don't get very far. playing pool costs five or twenty us

cents is the only form of entertainment they can afford the lack of prospects ethiopians to the streets to demand jobs less here it's employment prospects armed force coming soon existing tensions over land and the city could boil over. hundreds of people in moscow and other russian cities have held an unauthorized rally in support of a detained russian activist honest us shango was placed under house arrest in january for her activities with a political opposition organization she's the first person to be charged under a controversial new law that criminalizes taking part and what the russian government calls undesirable organizations critics say the legislation is overly broad and used to silence the kremlin political opponents. oh are you quite. down with the police state is there

a rallying cry the protestors wear black hearts a symbol of anger and sadness in solidarity with the russian activist and others like her. on january twenty third and a star was put under house arrest for working for the pro-democracy initiative open russia. authorities later prevented her from seeing her critically ill seventeen year old daughter until just hours before her daughter died. so in your main. this is what if they had let her stay with her daughter the child might have survived the missile not just their political prisoners here like in one thousand thirty seven i'm categorically opposed to people being locked up for their political views. but russian officials did not authorize this rally in moscow but reported the just a few participants were detained. police kept a close eye on the other marchers. some of russia's best known human rights

activists were on hand. to move people or lloyd to go for a walk and there's no limit on crime any individuals can do that i hope more people join us everything is fine as long as the police don't interfere. with your support for peace. for now the aim of those taking part is highlighting on a star's yes i think those case she remains under house arrest until the start of her trial for participating in the activities of an undesirable organization. could face up to six years in prison but you and russia or rather the former soviet union was a focus of today's competition screening at the berlin international film festival the burly nolen charlot sells them bill has been on the red carpet duty charlotte's tell us more. hey there yes a short time ago there was

a protest that took to the red carpet actually in a call now the banning all is no stranger to mixing politics with the films that are being stranger rather to making films with politics here but this was something a little bit unusual the film that was being screened is called mr jones it tells the story of a journalist who tries to uncover a famine in the early one nine hundred thirty s. manmade famine blamed on the saving union song and policies in ukraine now ukraine was the topic on the red carpet during the protests the actors the director of the film and the director of the whole balance dieter cost like two parts in it there are signs that they were holding said free soft now i'm not sure if you remember he's the ukrainian filmmaker who was arrested in twenty four jailed subsequently for twenty years accused by russia of acts of terrorism so it was a very strong signal that was sent here just behind me

a short time ago by that crowd holding up their signs calling for press freedom. tell us a bit more about the film mr jones and as you said quite a serious move. that's right extremely how are going to watch those scenes showing that famine in ukraine where it were extremely difficult and actually the director of the film and yes the holland she's from poland she said that she felt that it was actually her moral to show this story she said that said not enough is known about it she wanted to shine a light on it she also said that it wasn't just a story about a historical story she was they said to have modern relevance as well it was a story about press freedom the trouble that this journalist had in its showing this famine she said resonates today as well the idea of they can used to say they were a lot of reasons she said that she felt that it was important to to put this film to and now another interesting thing that has to be pointed out about it is it's

thought to have actually inspired all wild parable animal fond. if they form the festival what else has been screening. well just a short time ago there were huge stars here on this red carpet behind me today those were the stars of the film the operas it was an israeli spy it's really stars martin freeman the huge british hollywood star he's been in the hobbit trilogy for example also here on the red carpet was diane kruger she's the german american actress who's been in films like inglorious basterds and sure that was a huge for you when they came on to the red carpet behind me people screaming their names that were there postcards asking for signatures it was an extremely exciting moment now that film the operative is based on on a novel by a man who is actually a former members of the israeli intelligence a lot of people were looking out for any possible signs that what was being shown

in the film what may be real tactics used by the israeli intelligence and in fact i'm krupa said she has so actually studied with mossad for five days in the run up to preparing for this role. quite some method acting bear challenge all the. american skin grave lindsey vonn has hung up her sleeves after nearly twenty years of unparalleled success but missing her career in familiar style with a metal bomb produced a fast clean run to claim bronze in the downhill at the world championships in our sweden. means ebon on the podium once again parts of bronze winning run in sweden will be the last time fans get to see her stripes. iris at all today as always i was so nervous old a. serious. you know i think i wanted more than anything to. finish strong.
