are not. being told it is for me in your. brain children for. being told in story. being told it is for everyone. but you 22200. 50000 or verse 3 here on d. don't you know. this is deja vu news africa on the program today the diplomatic route between 2 giants in western africa nigerian trade isn't gonna save they're being harassed by local top government officials enough to have say it they won't stand for it. and getting the word out in cameroon where not everyone is convinced corona virus is

a real threat. hello i'm kristie one to welcome to the program it's good to have you along tensions between gaza and nigeria are rising over what i would just say as is the harassment of its citizens in guyana in a tweet nigeria's minister of information and culture mohammed say that the federal government has been documenting the acts of hostility towards nigeria and nigerians by gone day and all forty's this will no longer be tolerated and to any guys. now gone is information minister. issued a statement in response saying the outline of issues by my nigerian contrave is not reflective of the developments in ghana any protests decisions or actions based on these reports will be unjustified. the main issue off the is the

rights of nigerian trade gonna also accuses. demolishing of building belonging to its consulate in a controversial order on the part of nigeria. and i'm now joined by correspondent. capital. isaac didn't start by can you tell us what allegations that the nigerians are making. to the mandarins accusing. especially of them in the country they claim that they had a legitimate document to operate in their markets or in the areas of. harassing them and not allowing them to operate properly.

because many of them. closing down and prevented them from doing business in the country to consider these very unfair. foreigners in a country or preaching ok as i understand it this also has to do with the retail wholesale just explain that dynamic to us. even. for. those which means that if you're a farmer in trade and you come into the country to do business of course you corporates from the markets own was you need to have a practical act. please. the law allows that you have at least $1000000.00 to operate in the country and do business by the retail market preserve solely for low cows in nigeria and traders and not for intruders from west africa region are saying that they are called

a lot actually. within africa allows them also to come in and treat and so i do believe that they ought to be some compromise. by the locals i've said that i refer market is solely for us and we do no wonder foreigners to come and play in. i think this this is being is created to the very top as we understand it the presidents of both countries on to you to meet over this issue just talks about how much this has strained the relations between these 2 countries. what we understand is even though relations are not. reaching the 2 countries their 2 leaders have a good relationship as president and president. and so the hope is that the relations between the 2 leaders on the whole resolve the issue in a calm in the coming months all right. with that reporting from crap thank you.

and for the view from above. always interest south who is in the capital of which i always there's been a lot of emotional language coming through from officials in nigeria over this the spats between the 2 countries what kind of response are we likely to see from. the nigerian government the house responded on greed the. authorities the because the rich would do well for the 1st time in you so you for making camp out one big government that nigeria would not take would not agree would not accept. areas that i live in guyana because what the government is saying even if. a team can be convincing people. when you feel your board doesn't want on somebody come into. it i can see all the people that i live in debt you have to

look up to the my to is that you see can be said to. always can you talk to us a little bit about the presidents potentially meeting we hope that that could happen in the coming days as was announced by some of the ministers over the weekend just talks about what this has done to relations between the 2 countries when you know nigeria and ghana for a long has a very cold beer relationship but things started getting was i was told by sometimes became by the time when some people attacked the nigerian embassy in guyana to meet him between the 2 prison is hopefully going to set the distance because the nigeria's minister all putting up his authority said they are looking forward to it because the entire thing because the 2 countries. nigeria out front it's on par has come out for the 1st time to show dysplasia to show you how to be

tied to it should it come to today that it the government is sending out open to negotiation because a tool president in a very good relationship what temp was already rising very high within the us. how the brothers and sisters that i live in that are subjected to this kind of treatment by the guy. all right and that's always interest in the nigerian capital budget for us thank you. to the current a virus now cameron has registered just over 900000 infections and 400 deaths the country recently launched a mobile testing and awareness campaign that as data plays reports health workers are facing a tough task as some still don't believe the virus exists the streets of cameroon have never been empty since the beginning of the coffee can 80000 in so short

distance in doesn't apply i'm watching daily life here some people like mike sell a small truth do not believe the virus exist at all income rude irony u.s. disputes must to appear on camera but he does nothing the crew no virus has entered the country. there's talk of corona virus cases in cameroon but we don't really see proof of these cases in europe when you hear of the 10 damage here of hundreds of people dead from the virus however in cameroon we don't see that. those views are a coup by many people in these markets and no wonder. the gunmen are sentience of medics across the city to remind the public about the pandemic and to encourage them to take frequent over us test but it seems often encounter hostility on his suspicion. some people believe the pandemic is the government's come hell or mouth one of the main challenges is that we have to test the maximum amount of people

possible because people are hesitant to get tested as you have seen when we come around some people marcus they say we are part of a secret cult they also say we're bringing the disease to them so making people aware about this pandemic is a great challenge that we're working on. at the end of every living 14 kilometers away the government has set up a move by christensen to do is willing to be tested are brought here 3 days into the operation this unit has recorder one positive case good news for the doctors. the. trees and treat not to flatten the coronavirus could become rude. with him and while we have had a number of people coming in to take the test they all come voluntarily and as the day passed by the number if people who want to get tested is going up. we are now

on day 3 and we have processed about $65.00 people with come in for the coronavirus test. oh every hole. in the market these. exist is not over yet put on your face mask over and over come on as we go to close to 19000 coronavirus cases before one of them can do it. is one of the was he conscious enough to come from us s. to doesn't believe in it. might get on to. offer today simply inflate the figures in cameroon and we don't see what they are talking about or the resources to fight the pandemic are enjoyed by the wealthy but the poor have nothing at all. yet despite the challenges they are when is this thing teams the plans to extend your company to order reagents income route you hope people would take the mrs

seriously to stop the dreaded virus. activists are warning the world's largest breeding colony off african penguins is at risk because cog or ships refill near their habitat off the coast of south africa the government and maritime companies however insist the practice is safe. for all go up a in south africa is a spectacular migration route where the rate of sea life for ages and breeds is also home to around half the global population of endangered african penguins. but in recent years ships have been refusing neap tide now local environmental tests have raised the alarm. and we've got a good ally back with them but all doubt i'll get i think people 3 of. them tonight here at the board here is the rest of the 4 of them both when they can bring in the

boiler and we're all very very 1st off there will be good reading for the meal after that and that it's a fun thing. bunkering the practice of refueling one ship from another in the open sea started here in 2016 it saves time and makes money only $3.00 companies currently have operating licenses but they were already small oil spills here in 20172019. pinguin numbers have dropped by more than 60 percent over the past is. the south african maritime safety authority which oversees bunkering strace is that the necessary consultations and environmental studies were done to make sure that the practice is a safe as possible. we need to protect the area and we need to use the opportunity. and there is

a balance and that is that. not. a difficult balance indeed more than 40000 people in the algo of bay area rely on tourism for a living. beyond the environmental tragedy if the marine life should disappear so with the tourists and much needed income. and that's it for a program today be sure to check us out our facebook page and on till next time of at. every journey begins with the 1st step and every language with the 1st word american eagle. is in germany to learn german and why not go with them simple online on your mobile and free to shop d w z e learning course nikos fake german made easy. to open

today writes come out called herself the daughter of indian immigrants. and another immigrant to this country all the aggression of our debut novel is featured in our continuing series $103.00. and t.v. was determined that this is via may's would go ahead despite the obvious restrictions of various venues in new york on sunday nights kept secret so fans didn't congregate by m.t.v. achieved a really unique show lots of life performances no law you've already insist on with 2 extra special awards created because of the corona pandemic of talk about them i'm all in a minute but 1st the show beginning with this year's big winner and how fabulous costume.

leave god out with ariana grande's lady gaga our. lady ga ga dominated the evening taking home 5 major awards the queen of pop finally back on stage this has not been an easy year for a lot of people but what i see in the world is a massive triumph of courage stays safe speak your mind and i might sound like a broken record but wear a mask it's the center of. this year's colorful awards did deliver but it was something of a species spectacle we've seen us of come out to the audience members clapping and cheering. the pandemic was

a major theme of the evening as well as brock lives matter with a cool justice. of the black lives matter movement we've seen our generation step up take to the streets and make sure our voices will be heard enough is enough i'm just going to say. justice for jacob blake and justice for brianna taylor thank you. and nights filled with unforgettable moments but one that ideally won't have to be repeated. well done for them for doing that melissa holroyd call the whole thing. the whole show i should say quite a unique occasion melissa yeah well i'm not even sure if it actually was and the cajun some of it was pre-taped in the lead up to the awards ceremony m.t.v. was very very secretive about how they were going to pull this off in the midst of the pandemic and i think a lot of people thought that that was been to avoid crowds because of corona but

now maybe not so virtually at least it took place of iconic places across new york to show to all of the spirit and the resilience of the city the show was very very heavily on video effects there was green screen all over the place and i'm pretty sure there was a lot of lip sync for the people that will masks i think they probably didn't even need to pull that off and lady gaga was some great dance but she didn't win the big prize no she didn't win the big price she won $5.00 prizes and she also want to try con award which is a new award that recognizes a performer who is a come in 3 or more areas she should have also perhaps got a prize for her costume changes the big prize of the night went to the weekend for his song blinding lights and with so much green screen around it was actually good to see somebody who actually used the backdrop. of the real city yeah it did it was quite a spectacular performance let's have

a look at that performance by the weekend. extraordinary far works well now let's talk about the special new awards won for best quarantine performance and won for best music video from him this is where you know relish a creator's doc to create so hopefully they relish this opportunity yes so these new awards opened up the v.m. eyes in a new way i think with all the glam people are actually hungry for something that is in fact real and this quarantine thing provides that because we have people opening up there are times we get a glimpse of that so for the new pandemic you know what's the best music video went

to ariana grande dame and justin bieber they got this one i allot in boy band called a c n c one the best quarantine performance for unplugged at home here they are performing but besides that the actual award ceremony. and the show also on it which was very nice i think they wanted health care workers with a tribute to doctors and nurses singing about at work that's great actually that's really good that they did all of that. melissa as always thanks very much for being with us thank you very much. there are great discussions at the moment in germany about the country's colonial past so this week we have a series featuring 5 lin based deal with colonialism in the uk we begin with. the daughter of indian immigrants who takes the graphic images

from the early 20th century which were used back then to justify a colonial domination so to speak and it turns the head. a nameless burmese girl who's just gotten a taste of revenge. an indian boy smoking a water pipe while his sisters make music their mother weaving for the global superpower solomon islanders showing solidarity. images made for and by europeans now reclaimed by artist raj come. for her of the century old ethnographic photos are not just history she says even today these pictures have primed people to see her as other. these images. and they still exert power over my life how i see myself and how i see others and i think that's true for every everyone and so why these images can still exert

this influence is what i'm interested in exploring. this german book titled peoples of the earth is the source of many of her images published in 1902 as a scientific volume she calls it a colonial fairy tale. could people picture captioned only by type bush boys madagascan. a persian dervish. also about the type of purposes. where people are pictured so that their humanity is not the 1st thing that you encounter when you look at their pictures and for me the projects all my projects are about kind of bringing this humanity back. for series do you know our names focuses on images of women from the same book most

posed in the nude color says for her the women are alive she tries to listen to that and find out what they want the painting for me was a type of care i started to give them makeup i started to give them modern hairstyles i started to give them clothes and they suddenly started to have an identity and it kind of humanity and dignity that was taken from the original photograph. her latest project is about travel contrast in society's perceptions of migrants and refugees with those of more privileged travelers. the paintings are made on pages from a famous european travel account arabian sands by wilfred less of her. for me wilfrid that's it your symbolize kind of everything i hate. and and this is kind of a big thing to say like he is aristocratic british

and who traveled with tribal people in saudi arabia and he's considered a hero by everyone in the world he gets to define what history is he gets to say what is the what and people listen. to over messages words migrants as heroic travelers who stories matter she uses faces recorded by colonial photographers a century ago to tell a story about today. i mean beauty is so important from a protest it's about my own sense of empowerment. and then also it's about giving in to the people that are photographing it's a kind of redistribution of power. in a 100 german must reads this week a book published just 8 years ago by the young novelist org aggression it was her

debut novel she was a mere 26 years old when she wrote it has the intriguing title all russians love birch trees it's a multicultural novel role and expressive as is the main protagonist david levitz. we've all got a past that follows us around that we'd like to leave behind if you think you're going to get rid of me you've got another thing coming. all russians love birch trees by. is the story of 20 something year old marcia a refugee from the former soviet union who can't shake her past growing up in germany people see her as a stereotype the make up the accent high heels i left my at home so you're going to use your imagination there then there's the fact she's jewish that's either a plus or a minus for her depending on who finds out but is so much more she's fluent in 5 languages and wants to be an interpreter with the u.n.

and she's traumatized by the war she and her family escaped and azerbaijan. her boyfriend streisand vain to understand her to break through her hot temper and her chilly demeanor when he dies unexpectedly her world falls apart. he couldn't die only a few metres away he should have waited for me we could have died together i wouldn't mind. musharraf leaves for a 2nd time in her life to escape the pain and make a new start in israel but it turns out that's not the best place to find peace o'grady has never writes about the places she knows she moved from azerbaijan to germany at age 12 and spent time in israel her book reveals the paradoxes of both germany and israel and the trials of anyone with a haunting past. and

if that book doesn't appeal there's another $99.00 to choose from and reports of all of them can be found on how you choose channel at d w books but that's all for now thanks ever so much for watching and hope to see you again very soon at this time every day but behind.

kept the moment 5 years. goldie look at how the fact is issuing 2 sets of wave of migrants has received your. i'm going to have as well come to the program the 1st ever commercial passenger flight from israel to the united arab emirates has landed in abu dhabi the plane took off from tel aviv found across jordan and saudi arabia it's hoped the historic flight will mark the start of a new era of improved relations between israel and the arab world flood follows a u.s. brokered deal establishing diplomatic ties between israel and the u.a.e. it's the 1st such arab israeli accord in more than 20 years and all the

senior officials on board were the u.s. president donald trump senior adviser and son in law jared cushion here is what he had to say. on the plane we asked the pilots to fly faster because there is great urgency between the people of both countries to break down old barriers to get to know each other to form new and hopefully very deep friendships. what this piece was forged by its leaders it is overwhelmingly desired by the people joining me now from abu dhabi is john a son cush he's the assistant editor of the newspaper college times and how is this flight received in abu dhabi where you are. i have to say that the flight was received with. in comparison of the heft and the grandeur. and the special treatment actually on it is. actually to this piece because it was

very symbolic in nature in terms of you know the flight had. the number of international calling numbers for you 971 was very symbolic and at the same time as you can see on the on the bush and the plane had a piece written on it in out of pick his brain and english and asked officials from both sides and the governments from both sides have been touting this. deal for hope and peace for the region so inductively this is very simple and. to have the 1st commercial flight between the 2 countries landed up with a sign of peace. relations between the united arab emirates and israel have normal us remarkably quickly what's behind. either team that there is eagerness from all sides to normalize relations to put the cost behind and move ahead i asked. the judge today in his speech as soon as he landed

up and obviously set up palestinians have to put the past behind and move ahead so i think there is definitely an eagerness and view he is very keen to show that there is no. mean because as soon as the recent quarter was announced on august 13th we have seen a flurry of. you know elven partnership agreements being signed cloth ration between the strain which is definitely a force to sign for both conflict and peace because he does a win win for one site so i would think that is where the whole energy and the synergy comes from the. this is where you eat it is a huge diplomatic been by continuity and extension in the west bank i'll be tentatively and deplore israel they are establishing diplomatic relations and normalize ties with one of the most dynamic countries in the dynamic economies in

the matter so it's a win win so that is a lot of energy on encouraging signs there from abu dhabi and thank you and are some of the other stories making headlines around the world today sudan struck the transitional government signed a peace agreement with 5 rebel groups at a ceremony and neighboring south sudan is seen as a major step towards resolving deep rooted conflicts that raged for 17 years under the rule of former leader omar bashir. 11 and the prime minister designate has promised sweeping reforms within hours of being appointed by the president stuff. is a career diplomat and former ambassador to germany the previous administration resigned after a massive explosion which hit the capital beirut. embattled. president alexander lukashenko and his high ranking officials are now out from entering stony

political spectrum here come together to condemn the action. it looks like a normal monday in central beilin the tourists are back the price tag is open for visitors again but the scenes of unrest at the weekend are on many people's minds. saturday evening far right extremists pushed through police lines to the top of the high stack steps. just pictures that my generation just isn't familiar with. these people stand for different values and to see that also here in germany there are so many people who think differently and have different values that pains me. to. stand the demonstrators shouted resistance. and the isn't us folk we are the people. the black white and red of the colors of the old imperial german right used now by

neo nazis in front of that i stuck it makes for shocking symbolism. other demonstrators who filled berlin at the weekend and consisted largely of peaceful coronavirus skeptics were no longer the center of attention. 6 policemen and women were invited to the official residence of the german president frank photo steinmeyer thanked them and their colleagues for their composed reaction at the weekend and had a message to the demonstrators. and 1st then end it of a dog my empathy ends where demonstrators let themselves be instrumentalist by enemies of democracy and by political agitators. they often start and in short if you close ranks with right wing extremists in the streets or even if you just walk side by side with new nazis then of hopes and anti semites if you don't

distance yourself clearly and proactively you're on their side and. committee in the mind. and accusation that corona skeptics have rejected in a heated discussion with journalists they insisted the far right where a fringe group and that the organizers had indeed distanced themselves. according to polls the vast majority of germans support the government's anti corona measures . but also the message anglo-american spokesman had. emerged i want to thank the vast majority of the 83000000 people in this country all those who behave in a reasonable prudent and respectful manner and adhere to the rules in this pandemic even if that's not always easy. the corona skeptics are making plans for their next demonstration observers will be watching to see whether they succeed in distancing themselves from far right groups more clearly. while we're on the topic

here's a look at some of the latest developments in this global health emergency the number of coronavirus cases in the u.s. has topped 6000000 nearly 850000 people around the world have died after being infected germany has joined the world health organizations 12 x. program for distributing a possible coronavirus vaccine the w.h.o. is still negotiating with other e.u. countries and the german football association says fans will be allowed to return to some stadiums later this month for the 1st round of the national cup competition . all this week looking back 5 years to when hundreds of thousands of people mostly from syria escaped war and persecution and headed for the european union to seek refuge it was a pivotal moment for the your and its policy of open borders some member states shut down there from 2 years after initially allowing refugees to pass through the news biggest member and main destination for many of those fleeing germany so how

would it respond in the 1st answer is with 3 words chancellor merkel change the course of european history w.'s chief political editor michel cousineau was there on this day 5 years ago as anglo-american laid out a policy. it was the moment that defined i'm going to merkel's response to the 2015 migration crisis comes of us. it was the german equivalent of this yes we care. i was there 5 years ago when desperate migrants in hungary set off on foot to what's germany just hours later i'm going to marco singlehandedly decided to keep germany's borders open the scenes of an open welcoming germany went around the world. 5 years on this raises the question did germany make it and at what cost. in 2015 many and i'm going to merkel's

own c.d.u. party were against her open arms policy but. then finance minister was one of them his key concern was losing control for today's speak of germany's parliament it still is poised for most was provided but all one has to prevent the impression that there is a loss of control that situation was crucial for a few months but we've mostly overcome its effect by now we need a european solution to these problems. because there will be labor instead of more europe national reflexes kicked in across the continent in germany america's decision helped launch a populist party into parliament the fall right alternative for germany. the support have been fizzling out until merkel's we will make it moment ignite is the party's rise to become a fixture of germany's political landscape its co-founder alexander garland freely

admits that merkel's open border policy helped propel his party to parliament. after a break we didn't make it and we can't make it it's nobody's fault but it's simply impossible to let so many people from a totally different cultural background who behave so differently into a country and say we can make it a. matter of decision was humanitarian yet many also hopes the migrants would be able to meet germany's growing demand for skilled workers a new survey obtained exclusively by do w. before publication shows a mixed picture 5 years on half of these refugees are in some form of employment or education the authors of the study germany did reasonably well mostly because of its economic strength. almost to the day 5 years after her yes we can moment same place same setting machall says she would do the same again.

overall i would take the same decisions again that's right. but she warns of tough times ahead with the focus on of funds and we will now see a phase where general rise in unemployment will make it again more difficult to get those people to work have only recently arrived here as refugees or as migrants. newcomes in sri lanka. for now though germans are more busy with corona then debating migration both have proved to be political changes while germany has undoubtedly mastered the effects of 2015 economically politically i'm going to makeover valve's not to let that moment repeat itself a moment that changed germany and well defined her legacy. and finally the 1st congress to be born in germany have celebrated their 1st birthday at the balance of

power and become star attractions at the zoo since they made their public debut in january and they were rewarded with some special birthday treats frozen cake and a portion of snow all the pandas were born in germany they remain on loan from china. that. this is the news from berlin craig ferguson's up next with your big business update in just a moment. from. the. people for facebook and twitter to date and in touch. sleep. carefully.

don't know simply you need to do again. discomforting. documentary. a leadership battle at the world trade organization the current head steps down to african women are among the frontrunners to take over we'll assess their chances on find out how do they would deal with the many challenges facing the global economy . the clock is ticking talking 2 major u.s.

giants are racing to seal a deal to buy the social media giant american operations while china introduces new tools that could scupper upon. the coronavirus has hit kenya as an informal sector especially hard with many people now on able to pay their rent. doing what they can to make ends meet. this is business i'm kate ferguson welcome to the show the world trade organization is looking for a new leader after roberto azevedo early departure the challenges facing the new boss could hardly be bigger a global pandemic has devastated production worldwide china and the united states are in the middle of a bitter trade dispute and the organization itself is in crisis among the candidates who could be up to the job are 2 female financial heavyweights from africa. 2 african women are leading the race for the top to b.t.o.

post. a former nigerian finance minister is one of the front runners along with kenyan ameena mohammad both would make history twice the w t o has never been led by a woman and never by an african. not to be overlooked mexico's his a say ata the only candidate from the americans he has extensive experience as a trade negotiator other candidates help from egypt the u.k. and saudi arabia whoever takes the hot seat will have a big job on their hands. at the top of the agenda will be saving the organization is crucial to spew resolution system it has been paralyzed ever since the us blocked the appointment of new judges to its decision making court the bigger picture will be adopting the organization to the modern global trade system the china u.s. trade conflict arose in part from american grievances over how the w t o deals with beijing state backed non-market economy the u.s.

says wu rules don't fit for china a view shared by the e.u. and japan the next leader will have to navigate between both sides of the dispute and even stand up to world powers. we have a lot of candidates from emerging economies but china is also investing a lot in emerging economies so how can imagine economy representative independent and increased pressure for example for. $2.00 to $2.00 of course china to become more competitive the leadership race is beginning and so to the battle of the w t o's future. let's take a closer look at the need action phrase now with our correspondents jointer been in nairobi so i get to see you what can you tell me about these 2 african front runners. well the 2 frontrunners from the african continent it is a historic moment for them and should either of them you know take up this d.g.

said it would be historic in many ways but history aside. i mean i'm a hamit has enjoyed the you know working with the world trade organization as kenya's and pass that to the deputy you know before she was appointed many civil court in affairs in kenya and then she's also hosted and chad the 11 year old ministerial meeting that was mean to be 17 if it's not 2016 if i'm not wrong and so having that backing also does give her some. credentials for this role but looking at the other side of it also goes the from nigeria has enjoyed as well very key positions including sitting on board like the global global vaccine allies or gov the which is also very key in moving global decisions as well so they are very key holding key positions in their respective weight ok so
