doc told the marquis says people are more open about reporting violence against women and seeking help these days but it seems usually prefer to settle out of court so most perpetrators don't face punishment known to lose even by joseph monsoons manliness and i won't. move to be. the team i decided to stay with her husband but he passed through we while the case is going to be said today in court. let's go over to lagos where low level is standing by she works with lagos state domestic and sexual violence welcome to the deadly african low life give us a sense of how big the problem off islands against women is in nigeria. thank you good afternoon and thank you for having me balance against women such a. big issue for us especially in the states it's not like the

safe these issues have not always been there but what is on the increase now is reports people are speaking up more people on behalf of all of us it means that you . and to some extent they believe more in the system and that's why just because you know and trying to get help so it is a big issue it's a public health issue and something that's everybody knows it be concerned and we have a restless ability to ensure that we address these issues for me a holistic perspective that's interesting to know taylor because as you've just said it's a recent phenomenon that people are starting to to speak out a bat in lighten us as to why people feel comfortable speaking out now. yes i think for us it's we can we can attribute this to 3 reasons number one there's a 0 tolerance to this issues especially in the gusts that. people are speaking of

as monday to have reporters just speaking on the house for others there is also one includes our when there's 2 steps that can be taken there's information now people know that there are numbers to call to hundreds to for people to reach out offices to go to police stations that have trained police officers the law to enter these cases so as soon and increasingly 14 and then there is the political will to fight this menace in lagos state and i daresay in some more states in nigeria so with the political will increase and access to. information and 0 tolerance was seen as steady increase in reporting of these cases. that really sounds incredible i know that with your work and your organization you work with a lot of victims people who've been in the situation and you help them on their way out talk to us about some of that work you're doing and perhaps some of the preventative measures as well that you're employing yes yes of the as

well like a one stop shop where legal assistance to go support psychosocial support we come in in terms of emergency where we need to rescue women or children that are being abused there's also empowerment a good majority of the survivors of domestic violence are financially dependent and you have to say as a government is there to ensure that these women won't part so our system on general to heal and so will we we look at it for me holistic perspective and that is why we have different people on the team providing support to survival's we believe greatly in convention if we're able to prevent will not help to respond and so we do a lot of i hope you see. a vocation for children a vacancy for fair ends trends and we're privileged to have a comment that policies that have now been accepted by the government most think most recently we have and of looking for when we do we. because you know we need to

start to promote positive must community if we're able to address boys from the young age we are we empower them to be ambassadors we believe that who calls that to see if we doctrine in the commission of these offenses in the 1st place and so we have what we call king's love initiative as a 2nd just call levels when we are in power boy this stand up for girls if for example more gender equality i will start you know with this information the boys will now begin to calm day or the boys or men that perpetuate this violence so we look at. from always possible we sent just yesterday when we started our journey is for religious institutions because in nigeria little girls really just institutions are the really just clerics. keepers most of the cases go to bill before it's kaluta to governments. lower fevola dinny thank you. thank you

samaritans. now a traditional sports lost in time has returned to the central african republic people have stopped playing the game known as in g. because of the country's park area security situation now it's being revived by some young enthusiastic thanks to allow in the contract. it's fast and rough whacking a homemade pack with thin sticks requires shop reflexes speed and team skills the aim of the game is to stop the puck coming to a standstill in your half of the pitch for some watching this traditional game triggers memories of happier times isn't a trick is but it's a game that was played during initiation rites it's a game that united people which reminded people of the values of community life so now we're thinking about how the values of the game can help rebuild our country is . traditionally people played the game of against neighboring villages but when the

central african republic spiraled into violence in the early 2000 sometimes animosities were played out on the field. at some point the game got too rough sometimes the children would drop the sticks and downs out the eyes of the other children the parents would say i don't want you playing that that's what and baba disappeared until now. recent relative calm has allowed to return. this book it's a sport that we had started to play when we were children says it's a joyous sport that you know it's that's what i like about him baba. as more and more neighborhood matches bring up players hope for popularity to spread.

that's it for now from beat everything is africa you can catch all our stories on our website facebook page and even now with images of prehistoric ross and praising around africa they are quite as old as the fossilized skull we saw any of that they should be precious africa has one after the next time either. with different languages we fight for different things that's fine with me our make

up for freedom freedom of speech and freedom the press. given freedom of choice global news that matters w. made for mines. a quiet melody resounds among the light of the. ready risen and when it's on. the mind and the music. tovan 1st 12019 from september 6th to september 29th. hello and welcome to arts and culture sweden has just announced the film it's putting forward to be nominated for best international feature at the oscars its

director of an arc in is my guest in just a minute also coming up. on a grand scale city's made out of cardboard of a speciality of french artist of bolivia gross tights. and a visit to berlin is on the world in our alternative tourist guide planet. but we begin with the film and then we danced written and directed by swedish filmmaker 11. let's have a quick look at a scene from the movie. you know. i'm a doctor it's a sudden. through a whole round so there aren't city itself. the film is a long story that takes place in the world of traditional georgian which is

a big. culture. and i'm joined by the writer director of the film. first of all welcome the new must be very excited about the oscar. thank you for having me and. i believe if we can go park the oscars a next february we might get there but let's go back a few years because i believe this particular incident has inspired you to make this film tell us about. 201315 young kids in georgia decided to hold georgia's 1st pride parade. in tbilisi the capital and they were there was a counterattack organize a counter demonstration organized and they were attacked images you know are cable out on all the news channels and i saw it in sweden and i thought. i didn't like

what i saw and i thought you know i should do something about that about that topic so that was sort of like the inspiration for the film and then sort of give us a brief synopsis of what the film's about well basically i would say it's a coming of age story about a young downstair at the georgia national ensemble which is a very strict conservative. place. and the he you know falls in love with another guy and it sort of becomes like a catalyst for him to i think in the end discover his own artistry i think you know it's a film about breaking the norm sort of yeah ok and i mean this seems to be georgia seems to be seems real still to the gay rights is this why you made the film in the georgian language yeah i mean i think the setting of the story certainly you know if it had been said in sweden it would have been the same story so you know there was something there that i wanted to. discover and sort of delve into.

georgia you know it's sort of complicated i think it's a very polarized country at the moment and it's very divided on one and you know you have a younger generation who is very you know. liberal and they really you know one something else and then on the other hand you have sort of a you know this or whatever you call them let's see another clip and this is where the head of the daunce academy appears to men sort of question the main act. of god and that is. the one instance or. a particular example she loved. parody cartoons. you know.

it's very strange. you can feel the tension. i believe you when you went to film in georgia you had to sort of give the authorities there another script to will give them another impression of what the film was about well i mean we didn't you know actually give them a script but we you know we had to film in someplace you know where little take it to get into had they known exactly what the film was about so you know we had another official plot for the film that we were some sort of you know. in some places and in some places you know we could be totally open again it's about the division i was talking about and did you actually have problems if you have

problems when you are that we did we did fortunately we know. some locations where we're supposed to film would you know just suddenly disappear and you know we can feel like as they were renovating and things like that so you know we never know but officially told us from can't be here because you're making an l.c.d. t.v. film but. just quickly want to mention i see benny andersson of was one of the produces but is he interested in georgian traditional dogs. i think he probably is his you know he's a patron of the arts. i know that he actually 20 years ago did a george cd with polyphonic choir singing so he has a little interest but actually it's son who is the producer from from. well he's a good producer. a lot it's a little bit of a loss for the film you cross your fingers for the. thank you very much about so

great film you've got your other for. now the main role material used by french artist olivier ghost it is cardboard boxes he makes what can only be described as art works on a huge scale with just cardboard bits of tape and he needs a lot of help so we enlisted the people of la in france to construct buildings they know from their own city to create a temporary town down of the city's harbor. on cardboard boxes tape and lots of helping hands that only means for his monumental art this is urban art of another kind 14 cardboard buildings up to 27 meters tall and weighing.
