when sour could have far reaching consequences for. their report was commissioned by french president emmanuel mark home he's pledged to begin repatriating stolen artworks to africa within five years. we really hope that mccalls announcement on our report won't just be empty words but will have real consequences for skills it doesn't only apply to france but to many european countries. they are also invited to look at their colonial past and above all that their present relations with africa which are still shaped by colonialism in my eyes this is absolutely fundamental. the report could also have repercussions for germany berlin's bowden museum is currently showing highlights of the german capital collection of african art. soon the works are set to move to the newly rebuilt. berlin city

palace or home boat forum. but here too there is growing public debate over the exhibits the head of the foundation that runs berlin's museums believes more research is needed to ascertain which objects were obtained illegally. do we just want to wash our hands of it or do we want to develop a new kind of co-operation. he has called for new international guidelines for the restitution of artifacts. one thing seems clear action is needed the question is whether france's initiative will prompt europe to now begin to redress some of the injustices of the past. with me in the studio ya costume bow to founding member of the enzio band in post-colonial focusing on the reports ration of human remains in colonize countries thanks for joining us so germany was written. especially human remains what does this mean to you for

me it is very important to not just want to jim one wants to turn them back we have the one who demanded them back. and sisters who fought against the jim one of colonialism and you deal with taken as a prisoner on us head and their heads were chopped off and their own mothers and the waves had to take this kid out of the boy so that they could be brought here a.j. money for. research has very important to have this for sure and i know you talked a lot about the importance but if i was to push what how important is this to the people in africa. the second just want to give it as an example it's like a catholic church. with the. and you find.

it is our church and the other is the heads which are here and we believe because we haven't finished the barrio according to our each other until i dish ns dead and everything we've got around. now is that as easy as just seeing give them back as we had in the reports some people believe more research needs to be done to determine where exactly they came from so it can be sent to the right place what are your thoughts on. what i think. anyway now it is right this providence was yours research is to be done so that we can inform the communities back at home because you find in these human remains they belong to various communities like for instance in tanzania we have over one hundred twenty communities so when that when reality we know

it is that kuwaitis appreciate that but anyway they have been always talking that way for more than one hundred years and now even they did you say they are going to finish it just only in two years ok so they believe that that's a billion dollar question i guess but that on the other hand do nothing countries are demanding that countries ready to receive these items you think. concrete is. to receive these. i tense just only we have to know how many of the here how big the butt is t.v. i don't see that is appropriate because when they took dead the aware hipped inventor with. no we can't keep them there with how are we going to keep them it is our business and it's not their business it is ours ok to decide how are we going to keep them there very much when your room borel founding member of the n.-g. o.

bell in post-colonial focusing on the reports ration of human remains looted in cologne eyes countries like spare time. now nigeria imagines the work has. to rescue people in lagos after at least ten people were killed when a building collapsed the top floor of the multi-story building healthy private elementary school that's of people many of them children have been rescued from the rubble but it's unclear how many of the rescued well survives the final reports on the sides of the collapse. not much is now from the it was a three story building up until it collapsed yesterday morning being snuffed behind by children i divisional remains of this tragedy the rescue operation has come to a halt because rescue teams are saying they do not expect to find more people below of this debris they are saying they have meticulously called through the entire

area and they will not find more people they say what you can see here behind me is actually a cleanup operation but that has also come to a stop right now because they are residents of this building what trying to gather their personal belongings from this house that was not just the school building but also residential building people are angry because they say this could have been prevented if maintenance had been carried out properly when i thirty two now left we don't anything she says she lives in the jason building that is also affected by the camps. because that does not in i can move and move from inside. to do. and she's sporting two buildings that collapsed. was this wood in that it is no save that was this. is never inside the flood. cording to state authorities to building was cleared for demolition and the state governor says that a school inside the building was not permitted so what went wrong. it's hard.

for us but unfortunately. because they've been building it was something that was inevitable for people who believe that this is their means of livelihood the money that they will make out of it they would just feel like there's no point in trying to do something. also tells us that even if regulators see it they are notoriously understaffed does not want to talk about corruption in front of the camera angry residents do. plant. because they are giving them bribes. real fast that's riyad i just see it's. cultural all these butin agency we out. there should judge it nikos is a growing city properties are good quickly or are rented for a quick source of income and the still unclear home many children died in

a collapse that just like so many before for people here is just another result of callousness. tropical cyclone you die moving into mozambique people across the border in malawi bracing for the effects of the storm severe flooding that over the past eight days as already killed at least fifty or sixty people and left nearly one hundred thousand displaced question centers have been set up for those who have been left homeless to see more help is needed. and the family i see is trying to salvage what she can from the remains of her home weakened by the flood waters it fell down in front of her eyes when i was out there we were lucky to have got out with only minor injuries many other people were killed and some were badly injured many more have not been seen since the floods came we had crocodiles have eaten some people i lost all my belongings along as it

was our house who the. people like a need for have no choice but to come to evacuation centers like this one it shelter in its most basic form there are no real barracks here only floor space and food is in short supply. if you know what i'm going to bet i'm difficult since we arrived here at the camp only received may's flower in almost we have shared among ourselves more than you have. but the supplies are not enough i still need more and . more not one has an animal call. and this is why days of heavy rain caused the river to shear a malawi south to burst its banks people living off the land surrounding it saw their homes and livelihoods washed away in an instant but in an area prone to flooding some think more could have been done. in the general situation as have

been ready for it looking at the magnitude do a disaster that the their district. with blocked roads complicating the aid efforts people back to the evacuation center have to make do with what they have and wait for more help to arrive. that's it for now from d.w. news uppercut you can catch all our stories on our web site on the facebook page my colleague christine do i will join do tomorrow so i always do have to get a. goodbye. sarno just couldn't get this song out of his head. musicologist began searching for the source of these captivating sounds. and found that deep in the rain forest in central africa and the like to the left was able to look at the enemy along.
