i didn't want to drive down sure enough contact with this business on k. ferguson thanks for joining me we begin in the u.s. where the trade deficit is at its highest point in more than a decade that's despite u.s. president donald trump america 1st policy the latest figures from july so imports rose 11 percent while exports increased only 8 percent american spending on foreign made vehicles industrial goods on consumer products rose sharply u.s. services in areas like tourism education and medical care dropped as far visitors to state home to to coronavirus travel restrictions let's bring in financial correspondent jim acosta in new york hi yes president trunk came to power on a promise to reduce the u.s. trade deficit why has he failed well and if you look at the trade deficit

especially was trying to china was a good just $340000000000.00 it pretty much stands back where it was when a president from got elected into office so we've heard from the u.s. administration in the past couple of weeks that it's not so easy to decouple the 2 biggest economies on the planet but then also one factor clearly was tourism especially international tourism still is pretty much as it comes through in this standstill and to tourism is seen as an export so that's also one reason why we've seen a bigger increase in imports but then in exports but this huge trade deficit overall also shows that there might be some pressure on overall growth in the united states to come. onions meanwhile after hitting record highs on wednesday tech stocks have dropped sharply again what is going on. well i mean it was an accident that had to happen sooner or later just on when state minister couples it for the very 1st time

ever surpassed the 12000 point mark but it was interesting that the sell off and started to your on thursday a day when he cites the trade figures we actually got better than feared to numbers from. yours we will get the big job report now on friday and that also shows too that there is a decoupling from what's going on on wall street and what's going on with the real economy if you look at stocks like apple no real you news tends to what happened to stocks sold off by a good 8 percent tesla for example down by almost 20 percent just within 3 trading days but it was a quite a mess of sell off enough to cause it down by about them 5 percent one reason also might be that we'll approaching a prolonged weekend monday labor day so no trading on wall street and maybe investors are shying away before the long weekend to to buy into the stock market

so now it will be very interesting to see what happens on friday we will get to their job figures from the labor department one hour before trading starts and then we will see if it is just this was just a small accident or if this might be the beginning of a broader set of what goes up must come down and he ends carter thanks so much tech entrepreneur has visited the site of tesla's new electric car factory just outside berlin and says he's pleased with the focus being made the company will manufacture a new version of its model y. vehicle at the plant and may also produce electric car batteries you know musk has every reason to be in a good mood rucks construction of his new car plant is on schedule the american entrepreneur signs autographs for his fans to critics of the mega project he says. criticism and advice for what we can do better so let us know if you know of to

a massive stimulus package to offset the worst effects of the coronavirus the $100000000000.00 euro spending plan includes a major investment in transport and green energy and a commitment to make the country more competitive front of currently experiencing its worst economic crisis since world war 2 but the government expecting a lot of $805.00 and jobs by the end of the year. the package includes $20000000000.00 euros in tax cuts for small businesses and manufacturers as well as new spending on youth employment programs prime minister john caustics told reporters that the overall aim was to put more money in business hands instead of consumer pockets isn't so much yesterday did on his own please make unemployment is about companies but it affects the french so what we want to do is to massively reinject money in the economy so that the economy and companies could of course set off again yes and if companies set off again there will be less unemployment and

more jobs for example it's as simple as that was. also in the package 9000000000 euros to help french companies become more environmentally friendly the headline goal however is to create 160000 new jobs in 2021 that would still represent a sliver of expected job losses in the country french officials say 5 times as many people are likely to become unemployed just this year. staying in france for even the champagne industry has lost its faith during the pandemic up to a 1000000000 bottles of they are stored away in cellars production have collapsed by a 3rd even wind power is less and mary. the finest grapes in the world grow here in champaign country but the coronavirus pandemic is taking the sparkle out of the market for public. restaurants were closed for months weddings parties and receptions are all cancelled the pandemic

threatens the livelihood of champagne producers like eve cooper will. be good want you to put it all wine regions are in trouble at the same time we're in a global crisis and the whole industry is affected what is certain however is that what is not consumed during a certain period is no longer consumed later. the government is sensitive to the plight of the wine growers it's introduced an aid package worth 250000000 euros in alsace alone several 1000000 liters of excess wine are being distilled to make way for the new harvest this would normally be unthinkable but during the pandemic there's no alternative but to pour off the precious wine some will be distilled into ethanol for disinfectant. when you look we're only doing this because we have no alternative but it hurts deeply to see the wine go like this. the wine growing center is worried the mayor of middleware wants

more support. the government aid wasn't immediately ready but of course it did help to pay the bills the economy naturally this wasn't directed aid it was indirect assistance we have to pay back later it's a lonely. it's a good group. as you'd expect in a wine village like this the mayor is a connoisseur. he runs a winery together with his wife and son. keep us whenever there's a storm we're very afraid of the rain the wind the hail we work with nature and that can damage our crops but after a thunderstorm there's an expression after the rain comes the nice weather but with the coronavirus the nice weather doesn't come of a cool one that but. wine growing is part of french culture but the corona virus is threatening to burst the bubble of the entire industry. and

conflicts tuesday's america's religious rights are in the spotlight groups are active in europe and elsewhere seeking is over the last of the legalized among other things abortion and gay men the world congress osama is provides a false platform for such groups for this week one of it's found those aluko joins me from rockford illinois conflicts of. 60 minutes to come. like. oh. my god says

was. for the russians so. steep thanks. so many different walks of life. some are. honestly trying to put all of this comes straight from the heart to proceed even when there's no more delusion the mushroom in trucks come. from the flames of the law to their final resting place the russians are g.w. documentary. they've been robbed of their so that's what a people experiences when they're taken from them. countless cultural riches were stolen from africa and carted off to europe by colonialists. each artifact has blood on it from the rooms that have you feel.

what should be done with the stone or from africa. this is being hotly debated on both continents. the unsold store september 7th column d w. this is deja vu news africa on the program today the prosecutor and effort to secure shifts the i.c.c. is a 5 tool been sudan has been blacklisted by washington and put on a list with terrorists and drug traffic is that the course so one of africa's leaders and usually side. and tossing time while school's out will catch up with a journey in kenya with a 2020 academic has been cancelled. then what's brewing in uganda we'll find out why coffee is

a demand in the nation off to drink is. 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 washington sanctioned top officials in the hague now the i.c.c. is chief prosecutor. and her top aides by the soul. have been blacklisted by the trumpet ministration ova the courts investigation into the way the u.s. forces committed war crimes in afghanistan not a way. the u.s. secretary of state mike on pale 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 rests exposure to sanctions as well additional state department has restricted the issuance of visas for certain individuals involved in the i.c.c. its efforts to investigate u.s. personnel. so there for more on this database told me a lot of bull joins me at the victim tony good to see you so tell us little bit

more about the sanctions that. 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 to bensouda now these sanctions put her and her colleague under a list of specially designated nationals and blocked persons and this list includes members of al qaeda and isis drug dealers you know that's the kind of company that she's considered and 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 of the african continent jump up 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. being 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 are kenyatta as well who face charges just some of the examples that african countries felt were unfair ok let's talk about a 2 incident as you mentioned she is the i.c.c. stop risky just so they know about her tenure at the course well as the 2nd i.c.c. prosecutor she followed luis moreno ocampo was an argentinean 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 the way forward now maybe at least the i.c.c. felt maybe this would be a way of appeasing the africans ok and i and found to be answered it did go off to other countries apart from cases in other countries apart from africa so she is actually nearing the end of a tenure she should finish her tenure 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 tanisha 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 it. now nick story is in kenya where the government has canceled the 2020 academic yeah as part of its response to the koran a virus pandemic now that's left some 17000000 than is across the country out of school. travel to. 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 too 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 men typing his family cattle out in the wild rather than pursuing an education. when. i was really excited to do in high school because i have never been to boarding school. but i was frustrated when i was told schools would be closed and you know i miss the interaction with students and sharing ideas when the school long distance learning comes with other challenges to lead to simply doesn't have enough time for studying. now it's just wake up look after and there's a miracle you can do country concert 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 council of the 2020 economic here due to the coronavirus but for these must say 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 cheering home village. and you are living in a community like these they know sort and saw is that and we have to have the kids otherwise the kids would miss our old form cross with us on. the side if we are as students looking after the cattle could be at risk of disease. when the schools the young people go out into their wild to graze the cows and you know for them i say yes we are used to killing these clients. no there is.

an increase in the want from killing life but if they are in school students will 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 safely reopen in kenya. i think the 1st point would really be training for our teachers once we've done the training then we need to look at our infrastructure for example it's all building was able to accommodate a group of 20 dogs how can we use it now to accommodate those to enable us to 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.v. has long been a preferred drink. but now more and more people are opting for coffee this emerging culture is fos gaining in business and in turn growing any industry to serve them. 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 a relaxing chat with friends cafes like becoming more popular. i left before because. it kicks it helps me like going out to do something for the allies if they take it they don't see it. i love it still it's just very nice. 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 a god did it waited months for product and oh so what is a rich man is a product we we have we are looking at because because upshot of it shifting it's a shifting from one percent overhead to get back now to close to 6 bussing to. this new found 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 are passionate about their work it was revised as 12 trained. to inspire people and make

a good job but it's full of people sort of they can get on the phone call all those for the problem. is so. that love clearly on show you the only question now for here or so ago. and that is it for now be sure to check out all of the stories on content but it's a full it's nash africa we're also on facebook and on twitter now as while as the coffee is harsh take a look at some way off africa's finest is the biggest ethiopia in uganda we'll see in a tight. loop

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 d 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 with art history and society.

and after the devastating explosion one month ago in beirut the city's cultural scene is shell shocked 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 overlords brutally strip the continent of countless cultural treasures the fate of these items is debated in new d.w. documentary stolen song africa's lifted out. of a people. are like prison. their prison.

germany's ethnological museums are brimming with artifacts amassed overseas bought traded gifted and leave 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. for example what you nigerians envisage for the famous spending in bronzes in $897.00 the british punitive expedition to benny's city the troops looted the royal crown is stealing food. thousands of valuable bronze and ivory works and distributed them to europe's major museums. for young people can see this excellent through presentation. 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. of 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 would different 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 researchers 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 one 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 saw in the film that there was a return there with the 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 or 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 aspirins commando ms 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 e.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 sculptures to passers by china they weren't so sure what to make about. if you can't already tell their cucumber hundreds of. these sensual abstractions are also made of clay. and this. is something that. for sure. is inspired by sculptures from his native colombia where ceramics were once highly valued cultural objects the spanish.

so this is pretty. art projects rules imposed by spanish colonialism the berlin based artist is interested in transgressions including sex in public. and this park where men meet for anonymous encounters peace installed temporary mirrored structures because. of bad faith that we were to be free with our body. or. practice it was. for the past years espinosa has traveled back to colombia to work with the 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. all wondering how they have the balls to do it at in a place like colonia that you can being killed or. can't danger how you go and you have 10 app in the 3 and you fied the whole think around. you created this portable light up sculpture for a performance interest in germany. it works like

a kind of allowed and also with all their. cultures to communicate. members of the community joins the performance by a spinoza and his collaborator or to fund. the event marks november the knights conflicted date in german history the anniversary both of the fall of the girl in wall and of the nazi program against jews known as. nell 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. 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 through 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 is a museum for contemporary art was we a pond in 2015 following a long period of renovation it was

a place where people could enjoy art free 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 a real life was like i was shot by a sniper in 78 i was 8 years old i was at the beach since i was inside no kid it's our generation the war generation who did not want to forget who want to talk interest and who threw the cup ters artistic initiatives we have been witnessing non-responsibility of the government and of course a civil society that is more and more. i like acting as if it's a place in the state which we have already been doing for the past 30 years in the truma of lebanon civil war that ravaged the city is still very present to 15 year

long conflict ended in 1990 terror attacks assassinations and economic collapse followed in a state in which the author marty seemed to have given up critics say this year's explosion was an accident but not a coincidence. museum will be rebuilt the building needs to be secured before the harsh weather sets in help is coming from all over the world . but zain i read out 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 committed that depend i'm committed to my country depending on the call it is going to i mean we are ready we are ready to govern this country.

and our thoughts are with the people of lebanon as they rebuild yet again well that's all for this edition of arts and culture so until we meet again all the best for us here in berlin and to stay safe.
