was a long standing tensions between the community and police boiled over on the 1st day after offices allegedly killed a 16 year old boy with down syndrome. this was the time you know julius is home just meters away from where he was shot. was there and then called him and over they just shot. this like this what is included in the back of the fridge drove off the bed of one of the hospital and just told the doctors that it was courtin across my it was against fighting at you. but there was no fighting there was only one gunshot it ran off and it was the the guard shot that killed but then you know. 100 sticks to the streets of johannesburg suburb eldorado park to demand justice and condemned police violence. to they don't know he's got no food stamp people actually knows

what the police are superior to the french at your peril give me a little out a part. of the sun come out on the bottom and i might lose the child. would make this child. demonstrators burned tires and barricaded roads and said they were met with live fire from the police let me just say that militia using against those random people is. police say they're investigating how nathaniel julius was killed but residents here are convinced it's the police who are to blame and calling for the arrest of the officer responsible. and he. joins me from johannesburg had a 2 so there are allegations that police tried to cover up this shooting tell us more about that they're going to have to do visions for more of the police are telling us and what the residents in fact saying the residents are saying the young

boy was killed when police were questioning him and police just from the way they shot the head bullets and the child was down and killed and that the police tried to take the child to the put to gospodarz something that they say the police if they were not coveting they should have waited for him to do that but on their side the police are saying they never wanted to cover up they wanted to help the child in fact they are saying the child didn't want to die because of it police shooting but they are saying there was a gang that was fighting and shooting each other in the child was that if victim off the crossfire when those games are fighting but according to the residents this was just a cover up the statement that the child was if victim of gang violence is a cover up the fact that they wanted to protect the child themselves to go spitzer without calling in this was a cover up so these are contradicting statements that are coming from both the residents and the police we do know that a police watchdog is now investigating this shooting there is

a police officer who has been singled out too and logically fired the fatal shot he goes by the name scorpion he's known to the community what more do we know about this police officer. the residents are saying this is more the 1st time this police officer has done it they are saying it is stunning several times of the shooting live bullets to people here in the community they may be too busy gangs that are here they've been told the police minister asking him when i went to remove this police officer saying he has done it he has been harassed in the community it because of the allegations that are coming from this community saying they have reported before to the police minister but nothing has been done in the at one point if none of you they don't want him to be they the station and other police officers right to so there have been long existing tensions between police and this community in eldorado park and the no i don't know his elder. tell us a little bit more about this community and the issues that they've had with the police

elders is a high density area where you find your south africans living there it's a colored community this is an area that is known for brock problems and even president zuma former president zuma to visit that community to try and end the problem with blacks so because so far drug pushing there you have got gangs that find all of our control of it where they will be selling those drugs so it's an area that has been having this problem long a big big problem of gangs the problem of drugs violent place for citizens that are living there and residents are saying police have used that to taken advantage of that to mitt if i wouldn't on presidents that dusting to say you mentioned the police minister in our conversation he did speak to the people off eldorado park today what did he have to say. the coming of the police minister then left

a residence angrier than want to be away before he arrived because he went in to see to speak to the family after speaking to the family came out to address the residents want to say it is that. the government is sort of forges apparent investigations are taking place this officer who committed was alleged to have committed this is not suspended because there are. investigations that are taking place and the residents are very angry because they expected him to come out and say we have artist of the officer we have a suspended team and action is being taken so use coming in never cool down the residence but to assure them that the government is investigating and very soon whatever is involved is going to take before the law is going to take its course but that was not course old enough for the residents were angry and wanting immediate answers not investigations and right as a commander in johannesburg thank you. now to a you tube record from south africa and arguably one of the country's biggest exports

if. you. just. know. me. go. up to date don't miss our highlights. program mind w dot com highlights. like. oh. my god says i was sued for the russians so.

stupid. so many different walks of life. some are. ugly. but all of them come straight from the heart good for a c.e.o. you can hold in the morning delusion the mushroom inches. from the foot of the long to their final resting place the russians on g.w. documentary. greetings from berlin and a warm welcome to arts and culture so many of our normal activities were impossible during the weeks of corona lockdown but computer games were a welcome distraction day or night and we'll look at how computer games are evolving in the new pandemic reality and also in the pipeline. the

3rd of 3 good to medal laureates 42020 south african writer and journalist. is connecting the african continent through literature. and british photographer topix i.e.d. captures the extravagant pomp and flair of this a purpose of culture even viewed in republic of congo. all the pandemic has spelled profit for the gaming industry because during all of those hours days and weeks that people spent cooped up in their own 4 walls during lockdown they certainly played a lot of computer games normally the world's largest computer games trade fair games com would have welcomed the industry to cologne on thursday but the event has gone digital this year and it's clear that lessons learned in lockdown are shaping the games world to come. developing games outside the mainstream with original

ideas that's the formula for developers at this small hamburg studio. here they put players in an ethically difficult place they become part of the surveillance machine and spy on others. now little by little we start to question things saying is that really necessary don't you think you maybe went too far with them if you are probably trying to point a finger it should really come from the players themselves if you have some mom the sort of. this year games commas taking place not in cologne's message hollow but online developers have built an online platform with groups you can visit with avatars the games industry is changing with more women playing and more unusual games suddenly some of them have added relevance. in a kind of fish we don't have to get so many smaller games now deal with isolation with loneliness. i believe games are also

a medium in which you can process things artistically and many individual developers work with. us at the vanguard of this trend sea of solitude a girl fights her feelings of hopelessness anger and loneliness they appear in the shape of monsters oh. the key message game developer camellia gephardt came up with the idea which is influenced by her own experiences . it's a long way from shoot outs and car racing. i sometimes wonder if changes in the games industry are due to women increasingly moving to the forefront it's worth mentioning we've brought our topics and our emotionality to the studios . and to greater diversity as in the game tell me why we're twins rediscover their own past and one of them is transgender x. . or the action game held blade where the main character battle schizophrenia.

and the blockbuster the last of us part 2 features a love story between 2 women and these narratives are examples of a growing trend. but there are still those there always will be for whom the games are just a bit of fun where you can hang out with friends but there's a growing courage to tell more complex stories that. the hamburg studio has just hired game developers to work on a new game this too will be a journey into the world of emotions. was part of our coverage of the good to metal 2020 our 3rd and final laureate is south african writer and journalist so cares about weiner congratulations go out to a woman whose work has had an incredible impact on her home continent and beyond as she drives home the multiplicity of african identity.

the country. it is my hope that forces like tough will not speak deployed about the people who have bravely taken to the streets who have cold types of pieces i hope they can have all the freedoms that we take for granted in on the freedom to protest freedom of opinion. all these things must be fought for and bell rings and it's what the people want. they should be able to achieve independently without any external interference from any side. let's get more on this now with my colleague and your. view of politics to see on what you make of the chancellor statement on belarus. i think it was a strong statement on belarus brian and at the same time it was a plea for restraint to repeat what the chancellor has said she said the

sovereignty of belarus should be respected and that she hoped that the forces we heard about the russian forces putin announced that they wouldn't be deployed she stressed that it is important that the people of belarus can protest can demonstrate s. they wish without any interference from any side asked by john list for the. violent line of action from the security forces in belarus not only against demonstrators but also against drawing with our ally macca said that this is not acceptable and she added i found that very interesting that she wanted to talk to alex hunter look at sankoh and try to reach him on the phone because it is important to keep up the dialogue but he declined to talk to her so far as this summer press conference annual event journalists international journalists as well

asking the chancellor a range of questions one of them was about alexina volley the russian opposition leader currently being treated for suspected poisoning here in berlin let's take a listen to what she had to say about that it's been vehement we will do our best to find a small stipend but our ability to do the ass here is limited once we're clear about what actually happened like in the case of mr powell we will strive for a coordinated european response not just responses by individual states this is not just a german problem even though germany has taken in mr. merkel sounding much more cautious no there why isn't she taking a tougher stance on the nibali case. i think she has been pretty clear on the novelli case and on russia's role there as well brian when when mr novelli fell ill a few days ago she gave

a joint statement with the german foreign minister and this in itself is already rather unusual. and the foreign minister they are pressing russia to investigate the case in full transparency and i'm accurate said she sees an obligation to clear up the case and right after the press conference germany's foreign minister said that there will be diplomatic consequences if it proves that it is indeed as they used initiated murder attempts ok that investigation into whether this was a poisoning what happened exactly still ongoing on your thanks so much for that well earlier today the european union agreed to impose sanctions on senior russian officials accused of election fraud and cracking down violently on protesters that decision was made by you foreign ministers meeting here in berlin they also urge

russia not to intervene in belarus after russian president putin about military support for the country. leaves a top diplomat said the bloc was working to introduce the belarus sanctions as quickly as possible. there was a political agreement among ministers to dizzee nate selected to. exist to sanction regime. so good do you eventually move to punish president. himself earlier i asked our correspondent alexander phenomena about sanctions. when we talk about. it's clear that the sanctions are calming the u. foreign minister are quite clear here that there are coming and that they are trying to impose them as soon as possible we are talking about targeted sanctions against

against certain individuals officials we didn't get a full list of those people on the on the sanctions list because it's still being worked on but this is a clear sign that the going to punish those responsible for violence against protesters and for election fraud however it's not clear yet or it doesn't seem that it's going to be on this list in the 1st phase of imposing sanctions as you diplomat chief diplomat put it if the situation is going to get worse on the ground violence against protesters are going to continue. certainly going to target himself as well. we have some football for you now liverpool coach you're going club has ruled out trying to sign little mousie from barcelona due to the
