interesting work that's our topic on to the. top to corner. him 60 minutes d.w. . what secrets lie be hard to swallow. discover new adventures in 360 degrees. and explore personated world heritage sites. world heritage 360 get here now. this is do you know every news africa on the program today the prosecutor and the persecution of the i.c.c. is a factual been sudha has been blacklisted by washington and put on a list with terrorists and drive traffic is for the work that the horse so one of africa's leaders and you should be inside. and tossing time while school's out will catch up with a journey in kenya with

a 2020 academic year has been cancelled. then what's brewing in uganda we'll find out why coffee is a demand in the nation off teetering. hello i'm kristie one to welcome to news africa it's good to have you accompanied the european union has said it will defend the international criminal court against attempts to undermine it the e.u. is the latest as situation to stand behind the shop to washington sanctioned top officials in the hague now the i.c.c. as chief prosecutor of the tube in ceuta and her top aides becky so more chill chill have been blacklisted by the trumpet ministration over the coals investigation into the way the us forces committed war crimes in afghanistan now a wednesday the us secretary of state mike on pay. announced the sanctions on sudan

accusing the i.c.c. off continuing to talk its americans in june the trumpet ministration authorized the imposition of economic sanctions against foreign persons directly engaged in i.c.c. efforts to investigate u.s. or allied personnel and those who materially assisted in those in the in that effort today would take the next step because the i.c.c. continues to target americans sadly pursuant to secular order 13928 the united states will designate i.c.c. prosecutor for 2 bensouda and the i.c.c. as head of jurisdiction complementarity in cooperation division buckey so much to go for having material assisted prosecutor bensouda individuals and entities that continue to materially support those individuals risk exposure to sanctions as well addition the state department has restricted the issuance of these as for certain individuals involved in the eye sees these efforts to investigate u.s.

personnel. well there for more on this database told me a lot of ball joins me at the victim ball tony good to see you so tell us little bit more about the sanctions that will be at her top 8 are and well the u.s. is not signatory to the i.c.c. so it can't withdraw in protest when something happens the i.c.c. has no assets that the u.s. can freeze or what does it do it targets individuals from the i.c.c. right like 2 bensouda now these sanctions put her and her colleague under list especially designated nationals and blocked persons on this list includes members of al qaeda and isis drug dealers you know that's the kind of company that she's considered under no if you're a terrorist hiding somewhere that's different when you're under this list but if you're somebody who's going around in the streets traveling trying to conduct business like i too would be doing then you're locked off and this essentially cuts

her off from any u.s. business that operates and that's to add to the fact that she's already had her visit visa revoked that was done in 20 u.s. visa in 2019 right ok so tell me i remember the last time the u.s. went off to an african holding position and it is seen organization. they were there thank you for that you know he was under attack and we saw virtually every president on the african continent jump to his defense this looks like a similar thing to me you have this african woman under attack essentially for the work that she's doing and. nobody saying anything on the continent the difference here is that the i.c.c. has targeted some of these african countries in the past were relating to some of its cases when it comes to genocide and comes to war crimes and in fact in 2017 the african union backed a mass movement in africa to exit the i.c.c.

a lot of african countries felt that the i.c.c. was tog. thing african countries and so if you look at cases like omar al bashir former sudanese president who was under arrest warrant by the i.c.c. you also have kenya's president who kenyatta as well who face charges just some of the examples that african countries felt were unfair ok let's talk about 52 as you mentioned she is the i.c.c. . her tenure at the course well for to incident the 2nd i.c.c. prosecutor she followed these more and more combos an argentinian and under his tenure there were 2 about 12 investigations that were run 10 of which focused on africa and so when fatou bensouda came into office a lot of african countries felt well this is a way forward now maybe at least as if he felt this would be a way of appeasing the africans ok and i and found to be in so they did go off to other countries apart from cases in other countries apart from africa so she was

actually nearing the end of a tenure she should finish a 10 year next next june but it's come at a time where i mean she has been looking to she has raised her profile to a point but i think with all these cases the african attitude towards the i.c.c. the u.s. which of course is the major player in the world also opposing the i.c.c. i think that tarnish is the achievements that to bensouda has has made all right tony i mean we must leave it there but we know that the e.u. and various other what has asians i the i.c.c. itself have come out what has happened the decision taken by the united states told me as always thank you for coming in but that it. now nic story is in kenya where the government has canceled the 2020 academic year as part of its response to the current virus pandemic now that's left some $17000000.00 cross the country out of school. travel to only talk talk that's near

the border with tens anea to meet one of them. 2020 was the beginning of an exacting new chapter for vincent to little high school but in mid march in response to corbett 19 the kenyan government closed all schools including higher education the measure disrupted the lives of nearly 17000000 students across the country for 16 year old to little it's meant hiding his family cuttle out in the wild rather than pursuing an education. that. was really exerted to do in high school because i have never been to school. but i was frustrated when i was told schools would be closed and now i miss the interaction with students and sharing ideas school with the school long distance learning can't see the other challenges to lead to simply doesn't have enough time for studying.

now it's just wake up look after get into something you have to lose and you can't concentrate when you try to study so much you fall asleep like that. on a day like this this classroom would be students for children even more until the kenyan government because of the 2020 economic year due to the coronavirus but for these musée community one qualified teacher is all that they have. 22 year old danny my side he usually teaches near the tanzanian border but now he has taken to one of tearing home village. and you are living in a community like bees they know saw and saw is a teacher and we have to have the kids otherwise the kids will miss our art form us on. the side of the students looking up to the cattle to be at risk of disease. when the schools are cruel the young people go out into their wind. and you know

for them i say yes we are used to killing us. no there is. an increase or killing like this but if the. students we do not get time to do this. and of course but it's what i know. but experts believe there's a lot of walked down before schools can sift to reopen in kenya. i think the 1st point to really be training for teachers once we've done the training then we need to look at our infrastructure for example if all building was able to accommodate a group of $20.00 how can we use it. goes to a number of us do social distancing. for now schools remain closed for the foreseeable future. which but it's yet another day

of hiding cuttle for too little counting down the days until he's able to resume his dream of an indication that perhaps over time could change his life. now to a trained brewing in uganda and i promise this is the last of the mission and the plans today t. has long been a preferred drink. but now more and more people are opting for coffee this emerging culture is fast gaining in business and in turn growing a new industry to serve. ugandan coffee is enjoying something of an ace on its. face familiar grinding sound is attracting a new generation of coffee aficionados whether it's for a quick pick me up or relaxing chat with friends cafes like becoming more popular.

i love coffee because. it kicks it helps me like one hour to do something for that if i take it they don't sleep. i love it still it's disagree night. i love the flavors. you can there is the 2nd largest coffee producer in africa only behind ethiopia one seen as a colonial beverage young ugandans are now recognising the beans business potential . tradition of coffee in uganda was. gutted as it waited months for. those so. rich man's product we are we are we are looking at their coffee close upshot of it shifting it's a shifting from one per cent over a decade back now to close to 6 per cent. this newfound love for coffee is providing jobs in a country with one of the highest you found employment rates in sub-saharan africa

these would be baristas a passionate about their work is also good both styles of trade for here people make a good pro but it's for the people so that they can get on the call of those for the for the us so so. that love clearly on show the only question now for here or to go i guess. and that is that for now be sure to check out how this story is on content for the it's a full it's nash africa we're also on facebook and on twitter now and as wild as the coffee is hottest take a look at some way up africa's finest is clearly the biggest plantations in ethiopia in uganda we'll see you next time.

i'm not thinking out of the chair just sometimes out but no sam nothing which is the reason german thinks deep into the german culture of looking at the stereotype quirks and idiosyncrasies of the country that i don't. need it seems ridiculous grandma there you go it's cold out there. i'm rachel join me for meet the germans on the w. . post. europe's museums are full of art that was stolen and lucid during colonial times artifacts that are quite literally drenched in blood a new w. documentary looks at how african nations and experts view the question of repatriation and also coming up. colombian artists. confront the

legacies of spanish colonialism both within our history and in society. and after the devastating explosion one month ago in beirut the city's cultural scene is shellshocked and. the debate about how or whether to repatriate art that was acquired by colonial powers most often under brutal circumstances has been raging for some time in the capitals of europe not least here in berlin where the city's long contested who is preparing to house vast ethnological collections of stolen soul is a new documentary that tries to illuminate this debate and get africans to weigh in on possible solutions. africa's colonial brutally strip the continent of countless cultural treasures the fate of these items is debated in media w documentary stolen song africa's limited. people

. are like prisoners friends. in their prison of. germany's ethnological museums are brimming with artifacts amassed overseas bought traded gifted and lived did when over 1500000 of them the issue has politicized the european art sector like no other topic in recent memory and chop off. the impression that our debate here tends to remain very eurocentric off option one is talking to africans and asking them what they envisage. for example what you nigerians envisage for the famous spending in bronzes in 897 the british launched punitive expedition to benny's city the troops looted the royal palace stealing fowls. the valuable bronze in ivory works and distributed them to europe's major

museums. for young people can see excellent reason to feel. proud of. nigeria's contemporary art scene is one of the most vibrant in africa like it nneka art gallery in lagos the gallery owner. would love to see the bronze is back in the country but she's well aware of the challenges. that. the documentary stolen soul collects voices from europe and africa and ultimately poses multiple questions to which there are no easy answers. indeed well joining me now is the author of stolen soul and wood didn't from the w.'s documentary department welcome to the studio and wrote such an impressive overview of this issue you've brought us and yet it's hugely complex the scope of your film is of course so much broader than what we've seen as

a visual anthropologist what were you trying setting out to do with this film i had read a lot about what european museum experts and researches thought about the issue of restitution but very often i felt like african voices were a bit more of a side note so we tried to change that perspective and to really listen in what african opinions were out there and what i found was that the ideas and hopes of what to do with looted art a very diverse and it's also very controversial debate within african countries so i was really struck by that quote that ethnological museums are like prisons from the one prince and yet the finishing touches are being put on berlin's home but for many people asking the question whether there will be anything to put in it what's the solution in your opinion well 1st of all i think it's quite unrealistic to think that there will be nothing to fill the museums. we. we saw in the film that there was a return there with bible to namibia but there was still quite an exceptional event

restitution are rare and the museums are not emptying out now when it comes to solutions there is no quick fix. the problem is that for a very long time germany's colonial legacy has not been addressed by museums so by the public in general so what museums could do is they could work even closer with post colonial initiatives and bring the debate to the museums and when it comes to freeing the objects from the prison as prince commandement says it needs a legal framework and political solutions ok so obviously that's an issue that needs to be taken up with the politicians as as we've talked about earlier and that's perhaps the subject of your next film. with any with at any rate thank you very much for bringing us this job well done and stolen soul for our viewers is available on our you tube channel d w documentary so do be sure to check that out and thanks so much for coming into the studio today and. on the topic of rejecting the rules imposed by

colonialism in our mini series we'll look at how foreign born artists who are based in germany are salvaging cultures that were sidelined by. colombian artist uses his work to challenge the legacy of spanish rule and draw attention to vulnerable communities. spinosa handed out these quakes cultures passers by china they weren't so sure what to make about. if you can already tell their cucumber hundreds of. these central abstractions are also made of clay. the 1st. and this thing. is something. for sure that. is inspired by sculptures from his native colombia where ceramics were once highly valued cultural objects. the

spanish. they made by hand. so this is proof. this is a craft. art projects rules imposed by spanish colonialism the berlin based artist is interested in transgressions including sex in public. in this park where men meet for anonymous encounters temporary mirrored structures because. if we were to be free with our body. or. practice it was.

for the past 2 years espinosa has traveled back to colombia to work with a community of trans sex workers collaborating on projects such as this float for botha's 1st trans march. to call attention to the rampant violence against trans people he helped make ceramic markers for the sites where members of the community have been murdered interventions and performances to work through the traumas of colombia's armed conflict through shame and discrimination as spinosus work with trans people is rooted in his admiration for their courage. i was. wondering how they have the balls to do that in a place like colonia you can be killed or in the talent danger how you go and you is there an app in the 3 and you fied the whole think around.

he created this portable light up sculpture for a performance in dresden germany. it works like a kind of allowed at all still with all their. cultures to communicate. members of the community joins the performance by a spinoza and his collaborator or 2 from. the event marks november the night conflicted date in german history the anniversary both of the fall of the berlin wall and of the nazi program against jews known as. now espinosa wants to sound the alarm here in berlin normally the street would be filled with trans sex workers due to the coronavirus they were forced to stay home for months many had no way to pay their rent. defied all the travel is the fight of the woman is the fight of the indigenous is the fight of the africa is the fight off the. we

are. weeks. to months as choosers to work with vulnerable communities as he says no wife is more important than another. the paris of the middle east is how beirut was once described a vibrant city with a live for the moment philosophy that was on crushable despite years of civil war destruction religious strife and corruption a thriving cultural scene was also a spring of hope until august 4th when 2700 tons of ammonium nitrate blew the city's port to smithereens. in the days following the explosion anger in beirut not a single building was left on damaged in the residential area behind the poor in recent years and not seen had emerged harking back to the cosmopolitan beirut of old many hoped it heralded a more liberal minded city now this hope has been destroyed. this museum for

contemporary art was reopened in 2015 following a long period of renovation it was a place where people could enjoy art of food of charge for. when the explosion occurred the last visitors had left for the day ringback directors and i read i was still in her office it's a miracle she wasn't injured what i've gone through are really like i was like i was shot by a sniper in 78 i was 8 years old i was at the beach since i was in some no kid it's our generation the war generation who did not want to forget who want to talk interest and go through. those artistic initiatives we have been witnessing the non-responsibility of the government and of course the civil society that is more and more. leg acting as if it could placing the state which we have already

been doing for the past 30 years in the trauma of lebanon civil war that ravaged the city is still very present the 15 year long conflict ended in 1990 terror attacks assassinations and economic collapse followed in a state in which the author archie seemed to have given up critics say this year's explosion was an accident but not a coincidence. this is so easy and will be rebuilt the building needs to be secured before the harsh weather sets in help is coming from all over the world . with zain are into says simply rebuilding what was there before is not enough this time. i'm committed to the museum i'm committed but i don't know how long i don't know how long i'm going to depend i'm committed to my country depending on the call it is going to if i mean
