by my job join me to meet the gentleman fundi w. . post every journey begins with the 1st step and every language but the 1st word published in the book. is in germany to learn german and why not with him it's simple online on your mobile and free to suffer from d w z e learning course nikos fake german made easy. this week on little stories. we get a taste of politics you know i'm gong. fan to hear about a controversial band in lego's but we begin in germany 75 years ago allied planes

carried out devastating air raids on dresden the historic city center was reduced to rubble and damage tens of thousands were killed we speak to a survivor. when aaron steers comes to the neuer markt public square and sees the restored alan cure here he is reminded of the dresden bombings 75 years ago. here. and everything was destroyed and this was where most of the people were killed in the firestorm then on the next day the taste and following kisha collapsed yes the square was reduced to rubble. on the evening of february 13th 1945 over the span of just 15 minutes the allied forces dropped bombs containing 900 tons of explosives on dressed and during the next 2 days 3 more attack waves followed after that the baroque old town lay in

ruins at the time aaron steers was 9 years old when the bombs were dropped on dresden he and his parents he had in a bomb shelter in the cellar of their house seen here in the former you hungry organ alley. and. after the 1st attack we left the apartment while everything was burning i can still see it before my eyes the flames creeping over the rooftops of neighboring houses. and that's what it looked like afterwards that was my parents' apartment was on the top of the. answers here she and his parents were lucky they were able to flee the city as many as 25000 people died during the air raids many of them suffocated during the firestorms. i'm can call playfulness in my eyes this was a war crime many things happened on all sides but this was an act of destruction

directed at the civilian population. and steer started working as a camera man in the 1950 s. his nickname was the eye of dresden he documented the reconstruction of the destroyed city and he's been collecting photos and videos of dresden since the 19th century for his film archives. documentary film can be brutally honest with if you do not edit it or change the footage and i never did this then for me it is the most impressive historical witness and who calls. today the rebuilt cityscape of dresden betrays few signs of the destruction that took place here 75 years ago. hong kong is divided between those for and those against the pro-democracy movement . even eating places are being boycotted or supported because of their political

loyalties. this pastry and dessert shop is well known for its refined dishes the michelin guide listed as one of the best in hong kong but for him one 1st time customer this is not the reason why he came here for a scoop of ice cream in the afternoon. on we resist he is not. placing. his business with the civil. role something that. the post hits with messages of solidarity show this shop is yellow the color of the pro-democracy movement kim has found a place by an app that lists businesses which support the protests. coco chan and chaz co have found it their business after dropping out of jobs in the financial sector they have been supporting the pro-democracy movement since its beginning oh

my god i was going to have customers came in one day and when they finished they gave us a yellow sticker and said you can put this up it's only send i realized they were from a verification team the yellow shops that i want. coco and shasta found at their pastry shop in 2015 when the protest movement started they suffered losses as most small businesses but since then have been labeled yellow the turnover is even higher than before the protests started and it was when protesters go to ace and other places they need to be careful about people over herring their conversations but they don't have to worry about that head that's why we've had more customers recently sometimes they even queue up outside our shop and take us is released just around the corner. but those who do not support the protests trouble really warms eatery or traditional hong kong snacks has been labeled blue the color of the pro-government camp since she posted

a photo in support of the police force on facebook her business is down more than 50 percent. i'm using my savings and i borrow money from friends. the shop is my baby i can't just close it but right now i don't have any income. is how young protesters are boycotting a business and they have repeatedly reported hurt with your thirty's for a leech violations lately has been to eatery after husband passed away several years ago to support herself and the 2 kids now she has to take small extra jobs in the evening to make ends meet. it's either blue or yellow in today's hong kong the social divide runs through the whole city. in france one woman and her daughter are doing what they can to put an end to a barbaric practice female genital mutilation is illegal in the european union but

thousands of women and girls are still savagely disfigured. fatty mandia and her daughter salamanca and so i preparing food for the whole family some cason sleep with them family and friends often stop by cooking us one of the traditions fatty madiao holds dear from her country of origin mauritania but there are other so-called traditions which she strongly rejects. me. i was cut so are my 3 oldest daughters. i know that my 2nd daughter had complications when she gave birth. but i had my daughter's cut because i was afraid of my mother's influence. you can see her picture there she said if you don't have a done to your daughters their prayers won't be heard thank you nic. simply.

it was working as a midwife in mauritania in the 1980 s. that turned her against the practice. and i've met many women who've suffered from fistula or incontinent they couldn't hold back their urine anymore they have to change their clothes all the time even some who have become completely isolated. when fatty majak came to france as a political refugee in 1990 she started to fight against after. she founded an association that campaigns for women's rights in communities where the practice is still accepted she's also part of a european network which lobbies members of the european parliament to take a more active stance against f g m. has also joined the fight so you know i was lucky not to be affected by f g m i grew up in france and i think

the question never came up for me but people around me people i know are affected by it in my community even in my family that's why i feel it's important to fight against it. and her cousin how are are about to launch a series of you tube explainers to inform young girls about. all the little simple hello to all and welcome to the you tube channel purple chair my name is howard. f.c. am is illegal in france and the rest of the e.u. still there are 225000 survivors of f g m in france alone. and salamat confident their fight helps bring down those numbers. this is an act of violence done to small girls who've done nothing wrong maybe it'll follow them until their death that's not good whatever happens i know this is

a fight i will continue. and i won't give up before i see concrete results. it isn't. our last trip takes us to lagos in nigeria road accidents and traffic chaos are the order of the day here now the nigerian government has said enough is enough and moved to ban motorcycle taxis but many nigerians depend on them to get from to be. an attempt to keep. up this policeman is trying to keep try sickles off the street it's only the beginning of the morning rush hour but traffic is already jammed try sickles and motorbikes known as okada are by far the cheapest and fastest mode of transport many depend on them for their livelihoods plenty of small commercial companies have popped up in recent years that's on top of thousands of drivers who operate on their own for all of them the ban is

a huge blow. it would be the. people you. would do. so i'm so proud. the government come out with thoughts. if i. want. to do is because you have know all about things to do. 5 law goose school used by profession by now. as the public transport not broken lagos is far from sufficient many customers depend on a cut us to get around. that stop making quite mark. if you don't buy. it that way to take all that you provide and means of transportation for people but the lagos state government is adamant. people get into this must be good to get lives broken to go make joe's.

said you know he's not we've got mostly because you do not want to cut me from diatribe right now and that's this bloody cmos book t.v. and he suggests the okada ban might also free up young drivers to take up other professions to go up paint as you go out build as you go up to laws you don't know how to zones out various costs now that was not easy to show before i got that good . it's not the 1st time that lagos has imposed a ban on motorbikes so far it never really worked the commissioner sas government will introduce more bosses and better roads this time but as traffic in lagos keeps getting busier it's hard to see how people here will manage he dealt.
