a fact of life for families here. and far deeper than this water is the frustration which keeps rising even as the flooding subsides. in this stack a neighborhood people feel they've been forgotten and ignored for years. since 2012 the state comes in makes promises but unfortunately we still don't have proper pipelines and drainage that's why the water can't train we've had demonstrations we've done everything said the state here's us so that it will come and help us it's really hard. to believe. it's almost a decade since senegal's government launched a 1000000000 euro plan to combat flooding this latest disaster has seen critics questioning what's happened to the funds former prime minister abdul him by the country's leaders on twitter right saying but who are we kidding the floods plan

has been intentionally abandoned the 750000000000 would never spent flooding ceased to be a priority after i left the government. the priority here is simply survival or senegal's president's well wishes tweeted after the disastrous weekend and not enough many feel his promise to launch an emergency response is too little too late and with more rain forecast this week the worst of this flooding could be yet to come. on its story is from the central african republic where a peace accord signed 18 months ago has brought some response to the war torn country but after 4 decades of conflict and violence many institutions are in dire shape health care is one of them the nation has one of the world's highest rates of infant and maternal mortality i'll be talking to the w h o's director for the cia are after this report from a maternity hospital in the city off. the

delivery room in the market only section of the old because people in the far east of the central african republic this part of the hospital is nearly abundant only untrained unqualified health workers and he. is the middle who's never received formal training as a midwife but she's been delivering babies for the past. years about 4 american size from good driver as a midwife because the state hasn't sent anywhere yet on why you're inside a farm going to live from women come to earth they can i'm often these bricks will lay down here to deliver their babies. the maternity ward is in an advanced state of dilapidation the blood within this part of the country is very high among girls as young as 13 women give but here we did it delivery materials the risk of contamination is very holy. deplores the situation found out who she broke who live

in mostly give birth at night there's no night in this delivery of him anywhere in the hospital i turn on the light on my phone during the birth if. i'm a mother myself i do this job because i don't want to see women suffering and giving birth just anywhere near it up to share in their pocket. many trained hill to work as a scared to come to this part of the country because of insecurity in this region on the other side of the hospital compound is the surgery. the operation table is damaged there is no equipment or medicine available it's a local who is also self trained. for machine vision i'm not a trained surgeon but i operate on patients because there's no specialist here. since i started this job some patients have died either in the resuscitation room

in the wards or in the neighborhoods or schools and for these young i can't remember the number of deaths because it's been so long i can't see my people die like that you know that's why i do surgeries so the question of. seeing the central government here in bank you can meet the needs of found out about populations in many parts of the country like in harborough and workouts are looking to fill the gap to assist these sections of the hospital in emergencies right working for district to reestablish itself in the area. and i'm now joined by the doc says they were involved in and out of the w h o he is from the organization is the cia our office welcome to day doesn't use africa so we've seen just an example of how dire the health care situation is in one particular city in the central african republic but give us a sense of just how bad the health care system is in the country and the w.h.o. presence so groups are going to probably because one of the most. the worst place

in the world that has the highest maternal mortality the falsifies child mortality on the 5 for 10 it's that means that you know less than. out of 1000 children the form only. minor number to reach to 54 think less than 100 and that has a very unsufficient mumble felt professional across the country this affected by a long lasting military and political conflict doesn't ration is very the doctor finds it and that in the report we just say we soul and trained people were performing surgery is is there an effort from the w.h.o. side to increase the number of medical professionals in the country. yes there is we're supporting the fact though theel federico sciences in bunky the

problem is that a large proportion of. being told the central african republic pays for emergency relief funding and those type of funding doesn't support the long term investments in health systems that you would need for training health professionals who to think you know to train the medical doctor you need at least 6 years to train a midwife you need a year and a half to 3 years the pen's which which level you want to have and these are long terms and this usually don't the scheme the new care and emergency funding i'm not willing to give. an aussie adults and how much of that the state of the health state of health care in the country is tied to the political situation and what needs to happen from from wage. while it is very dependent because without peace without frankly if you cannot implement any programs that for example in the same project so that. the vaccination

team was taken hostage by one of the groups so the military conflict very much affects the possibility to live to deliver health care services including sub space ship basic programs such as minhas but c. program ok if that stops has saverin fun from the deputy. central african republic office thank you dr. now. explores what it means to be at home in both africa and europe was a child when she 1st cameroon to chamouni korea has spent both countries now her music reflects their intertwined histories. sound art meets slam poetry and you had me but also is

like the experiences of female refugees on the way to europe. it's a fiction. but at the same time it's really scary enough documentary fiction to counter every individual fates of refugees as representative of the nightmare faced by tens of thousands the story of from senegal who survived the dangerous crossing of the mediterranean sea. she faces insecurity fear hunger and physical violence the dancers transform the traumatic ordeal into a breathtaking choreography. it's then so because a scene that's the bodies of these women it's treating as an object saw then so because they are able with body to to see many scenes. i think it's among done best secure shown but at the same times of physical persecution. for me was the

best way to true to show. baby talk was originally meant to debut in the french city of metz but the current virus pandemic put the project on hold the premiere of the dog show or pack involves major restrictions only $450.00 of around 2000 seats can be occupied audience members must be one meter 50 apart and the 90 minute show has no break so that therefore i can remain empty fortunately in this piece the orchestra is on stage. with the schumann to begin with that now applying the distancing will always each string player has to have their own music stand i think that would not have been possible in the orchestra pit but it is possible on our large stage. it takes some getting used to because there further apart but it works because we have wolves at the back so the sound is

reflected into the auditorium but it's a consolation we've never had before you sue coronavirus. corner beating to. baby door makes effective use of limited possibilities hard hitting music and theater production with a deeply humanitarian message. and adrian kennedy was at that performance last night at the deicer open your 1st night back at the opera adrian how was it while it was a very special occasion for performers and audience alike it felt a little bit exclusively for an occupied seats left and right very strange really the orchestra and performance got a special. beginning before even started the show

successfully juxtaposed by. in 7th with this intense. tinge music from the young quartets and that worked remarkably well with this brilliantly acted and danced refugee story at the end it got big applause from the relatively small audience small audience that was a starting to the season but not an opera per se and yet they want to go ahead with a brand new production of wagner's ring cycle that's a pretty big deal that is a big deal and it's the 1st new ring cycle from the church of opera for 34 years the famous time tunnel ring from goods friedrichs premiered in 1000 forms last performed in 20 something new ring is they want seen a generation challenge for any opera house and this one is being touted as a ring for the 21st century it will be directed by steph and her hind and it's been on hold because of the corona virus pandemic but now with about he is almost ready

and could premiere as soon as september 27th ok and true to form for wagner now obviously it's a marathon or problem with at least 2 breaks in a massive orchestra how is that supposed to actually work in times of corona it's difficult but the torture oprah has been working together with her husband and wife team of opera loving doctors who've been providing the 3 freak ovitz testing every morning when they get the green light rehearsals go ahead at noon this process will now be applied to the musicians who will have to be in the pits because it's a big orchestra for wagner and the latest news is that in berlin the distance between audience members may be reduced to one metre the minimum distance just in time for the premiere so that's good news too but so i say we have to wait and say nothing is certain ok so the vacuum is actually the 2nd opera in the. ring

cycle what happened to the language that was actually supposed to have premiered in june we should get see that next year for actually did porn the production of rowing gold but this was a special minimalistic rheingold 990 production for 22 musicians and was performed in the open on top of the opera house car park ok so obviously door to open just itching to get back to performing opera thanks very much for bringing us that story and we'll look forward to the vancouver thanks very much a.j. and i can't really well another slice of reality this time in black and white comes from photographer and whose work in the middle east and the balkans has appeared in publications like time magazine and the new yorker and now over the years his photos have more witness to the effects of climate change on war torn region fly kids most recent project in africa region.
