wanted genocide suspect from the sea and. has appeared before a french court today on charges related to the 1904 massacre of at least 800000 people prosecutors have requested his transfer to you in custody was arrested on saturday in paris after a quarter of a century on the run. going to the polls in a crucial presidential election that could see the 1st democratic transfer of power in decades the vote is taking place despite fears a political violence and the spate of 19 local reporters say social distancing and hygiene rules not be demeaning polling stations government expelled. health organization last week following criticism of its handling of the pandemic. since 2005 but surprised many by not seeking a 4th term is annoying to its successor every sunday show media is an army general

considered as neither too close to the government's alleged crimes nor as someone who tried to stop them in other words a compromise candidate. i would like to tell you that since the founding no president has supported his successor because i too have never benefited from the support of my predecessors i'm aware. that sentiment reflects. his history in the transfer of political power and rose to the top in 2005 as the result of a peace deal that ended over a decade of civil war critics say his decision to run for another 5 year term in 2015 violated that deal the resulting violence cost at least $1200.00 lives that's on top of hundreds of thousands of deaths from ethnic strife in the decades since it gained independence from belgium in 1062 landlocked as one of africa's smallest

and poorest countries the world bank estimates that 75 percent of its 11000000 people live in poverty. there's no money or nothing since morning we've just been sitting here looking but we can't find any customers and. the u.n. has worn the government's efforts to repress criticism could a new cycle of violence. currencies as party and its youth wing have been accused of rape torture and murder rights groups say the president himself has encouraged crimes against humanity and campaigning has gone ahead without regard for the coronavirus pandemic as his public life in general critics accuse the government of covering up the true scale of the public health crisis something the winner of today's vote might not have the luxury to ignore. for more on this we're going to bring in. fred when he's from all africa discussion for it fred how significant is this election for the people off. this election's very very important for bring

young people because i mean for almost 2 decades the contrary is going to have. a democratic addicted president because. in 1904 there have been cold feet the new brew indeed and then. 5 then for the last 15 years has been. democratically elected so it's very very important and it's important for them because. they want peace they once knew he was different from president. ok so tell us about the ruling party's candidate mr every state that you share misha how close is seat to president. they're very cross very very cause.

this everest has been fighting alongside the president. they have been together in this. they departed their ruling party and they were together in the bushes when they were fighting so they are very very close to the point that people say there won't be a difference between the outgoing president. aristide's elected if he comes in they don't expect their change because this is almost the. same ideology this is the guy who wants to fight for his ruling party he's not fighting for ordinary people but his ruling party. we must point out that international observers are not in but only overseeing this election are they of worrying about whether this vote is free and fair. yeah that's correct of course worries are there from people and the international community

brooding never accepted the international observers then number 2 is we're not allowed to come in they can share and they've been through years of just 2 years before they suspended some of the international media organizations like b.b.c. voice of america and key international media houses and then there is also the problem of course they said that they said that guys if you want to come and observe these elections you have to stay you have to be current for 14 days and this was announced just one week before the voting today so i mean that was there is also this christian of the of the of the of the electoral commission which is some people said that it's an extended of the ruling but the day after the all right that's fred when you from our africa desk thank you.

today marks one year since phylogeny and then. a comedian and actor became president of ukraine joining a news conference held for the occasion since he spoke about the situation in the dun bust region in eastern ukraine now controlled by russia he called for direct talks with president vladimir putin on the issue and said he planned to meet the partners in the so-called normandy formats that would be russia germany and france as soon as the coronavirus crisis was. now before becoming president since he had no political experience other than playing a politician in a hit t.v. series our correspondent in kiffin economy takes a look at his 1st year in office. no hesitation or to smile and then life for the cameras then again this was a political and his 1st inauguration as president of ukraine donegal before the start of the hit t.v. show the real thing was watched by millions online

a reminder for anyone needed when he picked up a record 33 percent. for jones or joe all my life i've done everything i can to make ukrainians laugh. great for the next 5 years i'll be trying to make sure you koreans have no reason to cry and blog. ukrainian certainly have had enough to cry about in recent years with russian backed separatists claimed some 13000 lives and displaced millions said yet for sure i'm ready to do everything to stop our heroes dying. i'm ready without hesitation to lose my position to make peace happen. so year a year for all the high drama of that speech the reality has been disappointing a quick end to the conflict is only possible on russia's terms something not as lenski know many ukrainians are willing to accept even a stable ceasefire has remained beyond reach just as it did for his predecessor hundreds of ukrainian soldiers who died. seriously wounded some celebs get took

office. selenski is only tangible progress has been a series of high profile prisoner exchanges with russia and separatists gestures of good will but no more than that. a summit in paris last december linsky face to face with blood amid putin for the 1st time. he had hoped that personal chemistry could achieve a breakthrough where years of negotiation that failed hope that was soon dashed. and while the tone between moscow and kiev may have changed the fundamentals haven't. but if selenski knew from the outset that his presidency would be defined by the war his 1st year in office was spent putting out fires he couldn't have seen coming. within months of his election the world was once again looking at ukraine and not for the right reasons. ask yourself whether or not president trump had pressured him into launching investigations into his democratic rival joe biden ukraine's new president found himself stalling holding out just long enough to

avoid his country being dragged into prison trumps impeachment across the us partisan politics. and just as one danger receded another arrives in the shape of covert $93.00 ukraine's underfunded health system was always going to struggle to me. as the dust settles on a turbulent 1st year in office ukrainians are going to be expecting more from their president the crisis management. team is lengthy now has to find him new story of his presidency a story to inspire the 73 percent of ukrainians who entrusted him with the country's biggest get a mandate. germany is not just commie has pulled a social media advantage for any new car it comes off the outcry and widespread criticism over the ads an aged racist overturns the car make a save quote we can end the stand that outrage and anger here with me at the table is chip on the chin below from our business departments that he's been researching

diversity in germany and he joins me now to talk about this ok so what do you actually have the advert for us yes i do and we'll just play it so that everybody can take a look before we start speaking about it right. then you now that it was about 10 seconds or so and it appeared in an instagram story and there's 3 elements which are considered racist and we can maybe just pull them up the 1st one is actually you see and so let's just bring up the 1st you know one i think with jared there you go. and there's a giant hand and that's upside down and it's basically what critics say is the p. and the w. and that would be w. for white and p. for power so that's the 1st element which is considered racist and the 2nd one

would be the restaurant where the guy who is pushed into this african man is pushed into a restaurant the guy's a black guy he's also black guys and it's african and black and his pushed into a restaurant called big cornel and that is french for small settler okolona list and that word is hardly used in france today because it only refers to colonialism so a lot of people see that as a race. reference to colonialism ok and the 3rd one is the last bit of the ad and there we see a couple of letters showing up if you play that very slowly it's the n. word in german and i can say it because obviously it's considered politically correct by a lot of people and that's the last element of the n. word in german ok i mean chip on to how we know that the ad has since been pulled in as i question it and they said we can understand why people are upset about this what had they said about how something like that could go out well they've apologized saying that of course they understand it was they refer to it as a misunderstanding of what they had done and this is not what they intended what

they intended is a creative creative and playful way of using the instagram story function of this what they were working on and this is their day. fans and they do not discriminate against any groups of people they said in that statement on instagram sold of pretty much that they didn't know ok. this is i mean this is not the 1st time we're talking about something like this happening right an ad goes out and there's backlash almost immediately especially in the social media space you're looking at researching diversity in germany this topic is this a corporate problem all is there a problem in the german society here well obviously it's a mix of both germany tends to be very white definitely look at the higher positions of people in decision making functions i'm assuming that an ad like this would have had to be approved by a manager and if that manager was white and perhaps the team is old white and

german or even european if they are all why they might not have the same cultural references and so you know black people in this case who are referred to in the ad might have very different references and them even some of the people responding in social media where maybe not necessarily black but they were maybe people in turkish origin and there were of these references more so than perhaps you know even i was aware myself that the w m p like that is racism both you know i guess it was news to me but there were people you know online pointing those things out of course and all would have stuck out to me as a friend speaker as well but other references also i could have missed so they just don't have the teams to be able to like you know they can point and understand that these symbols and pictures can be offensive right and just yet. thank you so much that you're from our business desk on just the 10 2nd set of calls a lot of theory social media thank you. for nearly

a month now muslims around the world have been observing ramadan the holy time off osting and pray it's traditionally a time of community and a chance together with friends and family but this year that's been complicated by widespread lockdown regulations nic's report is from here in berlin where christians have offered muslims a unique place to pray jaring the. oh over. the call to prayer from inside the church of saint martha in berlin every friday throughout ramadan. the higher than the top but. we see ramadan as a very valuable thing that. we think that prayer and opening ourselves to each other and to god helps reinforce humanity and peace the shaft people square

in there with a woman as a sign of solidarity they thought it would be a good idea to give muslims a chance to cry in the church and so it's a great initiative and we thank them for it. to have my push into germany has allowed places of worship to reopen but with a restriction only a maximum of 50 people are allowed to pray at a time in this church around 100 people want to pray so they're divided into 2 time slots one in german and the other in arabic. a lot of the other group of friends thought i was a bit surprised by the idea but it's a beautiful feeling at a time when mosques are full it's a beautiful initiative. to get them from americans it's a beautiful indescribable feeling it gives us a sense of brotherhood between people. ramadan prayers

in a christian church. contemplation during carona time. staying here in germany museums have reopened to visit and if you happen to be a fan of the 1960 s. you're in for a treat one of the largest collections of that decades papaji is now on show at berlin's museum off prints and drawings. it wasn't just flower power in the sixty's. there's a bounty of it hardly anyone is familiar with now it's on display for the 1st time . so this is the moment to show everything we've accumulated it's one of the biggest collections of its kind in germany if not all of europe. the berlin state museum has an impressive collection of parts including works by the artist who made it world famous and. culture for the masses

as in stars actually did a new era in the art world suddenly the monday features of everyday life landed on both the big screen and canvas as pop art. whole the art is went out into the world and discovered shopping malls and stores and supermarkets. and free themselves on the lines of artistic concepts and found reality. let's let's note is that pop art had its own 1960 s. birth and what was west germany. painters like printed his arguments series a revolutionary act of art. german pop art was more critical than its american counterpart less think big and more irony. america was very direct perhaps the most innocent aggressive and striking movement in contrast to european pop art. in the great atmosphere of post-war europe call when along came

this offensive way with almost a missionary spirit of commercialism surprises come with all the new products and bright images of the united states. in the u.s. and europe pop art was a male demean women were muses or sex objects pure male projection just like in advertising as the old adage goes sex sells and that certainly applied to pop art. but this exhibition turns that on its head. revelation. in the can man. a man wields a cook's whisk could it be he's actually at work in the kitchen some would say now that's the right kind of pop and high time for it.

i couldn't agree more and a reminder of the top story we're following for you millions off their homes in india and bangladesh as a massive storm makes landfall site load is expected to bring flooding and landslides. and just stayed here on the diving is for myself and the team it's been a great pleasure having your company we're back with more news at the top of the next hour join us if you can in the meantime we're on twitter at the dumping is my point.
