going to sink those official residence there was a huge police cordon thing and you saw the people in riot gear looking of the fence slightly seemingly surprised by the sheer numbers of people out there playing music very relaxed people even with young kids in prams. especially given it sent by the government weeks and days to scam people away from this kind of protected area impressive pictures are seeing people don't see me i got to say nic there was an easy contact and we tried for hours suspected internet and mobile networks have been shut off what can you tell us about. this extraordinary thing we cough the week this keeps on happening and some of the mobile operators to have admitted that they were given instructions by the state to authorities here to limit local sceptically but also normal phone service is what they're trying to achieve with this well i think it's an attempt to try and prevent protest organizers from coordinating preventing broadcasting jim it's also been felt in recent days specially locals on the russians and some of you can be sent to jail you support

for going i think process being out also in protest has been fortified as organizing protests by local authorities and attempt to really prevent these kind of images reaching the world to speak given everyone out in the streets and that is eventually all in vain but the attempt made nonetheless now you know the mobile section is coming back and the rest become trees being. said. nic it's day 29 of the protests in the momentum of the opposition at least where we're sitting seems to be sure no sign of slowing do you get the impression people are cheating anything. well i think this is a very difficult choice and there is no clear roadmap no clear plan where this goes the country that basically has had a new politics the course of a century where one man has made all decisions i don't rest of his i.q. is going to be marginalized. in gauging this going to politics he's very noble for most of the reasons they just don't remember it as to how this process goes on well

the reasonable just council of the various opposition parties they are playing less well i think what's more important now is that taking part in protests has become part of people's everyday life has become a cultural thing that doesn't lead is that is happening on the level of people building people universities people friendship groups and even if the regime he were to put the opposition leaders all in prison that would not be enough to quell these protests people have covered their voice and are coming with great numbers ok nick connolly reporting from mint source thank you nick. hong kong police have launched a fresh crackdown on anti-government protests in the city they make making hundreds of arrests demonstrators are furious about a decision to postpone today's planned legislative elections they're also angry about a sweeping national security law imposed by china that gives beijing unprecedented power to crackdown on critics in hong kong. was was

this one is not business does business. across goes for $30.00 to $75.00 a small penguin for $25.00 bush meat is pricey demand is high. it's not just seen as a delicacy among wealthy nigerians the country is an emerging transit hub for the illegal wildlife trade tons of penguin scales are shipped to asia every year. we are meeting china do more ball at this market he's a wildlife activist who says nigerians place little value on their own white life they feel this is sweeter it's tasty whatsoever but what they don't understand is that most of the animals that you have continued hunting all the time i really do you see in number very soon they will be gone today and lizard is on sale to teenagers trying to buy up animals that are still alive and save them before they

are killed a race against the clock. if i don't buy them through for my purpose which is a feeling for which i believe people will come and buy them for food and if you've seen most of these animals they're coming like this every day and it they are lost in nigeria to protect the species we are showing the pictures to representative of a government agency that is supposed to enforce the law so why is this business floor showing them. away at all. try to just put us in the do really know what is happening so you cannot just pounce on people who have to kick the people 1st saw and continue to consume is education then of course then they force them to follow little. chinedu says nigeria has a lot of problems and wildlife is not the priority.

for 5 years a half mark has been living in germany as a syrian refugee he's managed to rescue his passion for playing the piano for the ruins of his hometown and bring it to his new home. his songs tell of pain and a lost homeland but also of hope 5 years ago pianist fled syria specifically the yarmouk refugee camp for palestinians. back there he played music to counter the nightmare scene of bomb craters and ruined buildings and created beauty to fight despair. i was hungry or so and i don't count my family but i was keeping playing piano we die anyway we will die from hunger and 56 days volume when i don't die play piano at least it's held me i

don't think music it's feed people or help people really it's helped the mentality to see at least some of the why it's quite a place in the in all this got us to off in the more calm. yarmulkes a neighborhood of damascus it was under constant siege from i asked troops for years people there had no electricity no food or medicine and a ham played music. in the images of him playing went viral when they have fled to germany in 2015 he was already a minor celebrity and was quickly offered a public stage but he felt uncomfortable with the attention. that. i am here famous playing piano the pianist of the arm or what we are a group of people i thought i took a bit in connection with him it's not easy and when somebody is still dying from hunger and you tell him look we speak about you he it up what it's done for me

there you know this is this is not the easy here he is performing at a refugee shelter in berlin at a celebration marking 5 years since chancellor angela merkel's we can do it statement in the meantime ahab's wife and sons have joined him and he can worked. thanks concert people listen to him. when i going on with this is story and remembering your move remembering the war it's really too heavy and this is why i will stop the music because when i go on an artist well we'll still have the pianist under truman or that says its image but the horrible images from a hamas man's past won't stop so easily hopefully he won't give up music that helped him during his darkest times and it helps him now allowing him to make a living and a new life in germany. it's
