i'm glad he plays using music video novellas yeah i don't like the part so much to sing along to you mr cool but i'm super. for. interactive exercises. everything is online and interactive then german for free with t.w. . this is due to the news africa coming up on the program p.p.a. for personal profit from fire and medical workers and god all contracting all that on the job because there's not enough protective equipment but the grace to supply the demand is being undermined speedy even for hospital staff busy ending up on the black market. and the traditional roadside snack that's become a source of sustenance mice meat is now a staple for hard up turold malawians during the pandemic.

want to welcome to date every news africa many medical workers in god still have to do their jobs without adequate protection there is a shortage of people or personal protective equipment in the country and more than 2000 medical workers have been infected with the coronavirus since the outbreak began the government and private donors have ramped up if it's to provide the much needed but as one investigation revealed some hospital staff have been saving the people on the black market. here at this clinic in central gonna health where cat had been is. and his colleague caring for patients m h $1000.00 pandemic but often without their required protective medic aqua dane diffidently to run out of supplies several months ago at schools in webcasts today

the risk of infections to lactate says they face mask he's wearing hasn't been changed for weeks before this one says cholera me just useful nice full of the obvious message and did you know how to change things you want to wait so i was what you need is always where if i was on the way we just have multiple another people complied with their governments but also sometimes i want to wait but i don't have it to the needs of the 2000 health webcasts in ghana have been infected with covert to 19 at least 6 have died health union once more protection for the members. we needed to be protected so that we can have health and my system if it's pauses in macau really don't go that we don't get why didn't we just it's

there we got that disease let's look at. what gave them. the government has already taxed factories to produce more protective equipment for health work has by today equipment doesn't seem to be reaching the facilities that's need it's this hospital has come on the scrutiny on on the cover generally it's because coverage that's healthy as they are selling p.p.p. health and i was calling for measures to prevent such incidents in the future. when this is it and don't just complain about oddly enough pieces all insufficiencies of these people we have done this it doesn't look good looks to divulge from any someone's just want you to ensure that when you point it is time to distribute it if you are simply want to share that they get ready to get to get into. health.

and he's colleagues with support from the government they hope they don't get infected before it's comes. now as you heard in our report the if it's just supply the much needed p.p. is being undermined by hospital because some of them have been identified as selling the people on to the black market now that story was uncovered by one of janet guyon his famous investigative journalist he closed by the pseudonym at amir an ass i began by asking him just how he came about the story. we would prefer for a story would look at kill and. then in covered clear we decided to identify a fake your so that people were using to treat corey while doing this we got some information from some hospitals that this items that were being do need to

have found themselves on duping market we decided to look at that too it was inside as we did in the hospital and that means who wrote to us and told us that the thing something on thought could be happening in this hospital in the indeed we are glad that when we look at it we found this is going on. right now i know that even your investigation what are your journalists posed as a somebody by the p.p.a. from one of these hospital workers who was sitting it but who have the medical staff been sending the p p e e to. the p.p. is being sold to people who want to buy it. people who need it before the own personal protection and those fools who needed it to send it out there in the markets they key thing is that. it is so bad i hope perhaps you

know what as times as we speak to people. in the tape who are selling the p.p.s. have all been suspended according to the hospital and there wasn't a whole investigation that went on but it was a villa for sale for people who want to have it for your personal use all either you had a private hospital and you wanted to use it. unless you give us a sense off do you do you have any idea of how much p.p. hospitals might have lost out is it likely that this is happening at a grand scale. well i can look at a rich hospital and i can confirm that it was happening i think on the scale the reason is this simple that you know b.b.c. of. has died on how much you should buy out all material things that people were dealing with told us that they had a large quantities but you know you have to balance the need for workers to use it

and your story so we decided to buy their members that we thought were not affects the intent of preaching and put their lives of their real people their health wake us at risk so yes we did we got a lot of calls to buy large quantities but we opted to do less quantities because we knew that that was definitely affecting the lives of work as who people were put to the life on the line to see if to see if people were given one indication was that a particular point the hospital then decided to even produce the. freeze masks and it was sad that even the farris batch of production somebody sold to us $100.00 pieces i mean it goes to that level at which those people willing to say where we're going and the only reason why that was but the stat that it production

was because of the fact that they do need that once had finished they had emptied it to the seal and there was with the decided to be ingenious by doing something new so indeed it was a very high skill all right that is the investigative journalist in the past i remember. is of course has to conceal his identity because of the nature he says thank you for being on al program today and us. field mice have always been a traditional seasonal 2nd balawi and that's even when food was bountiful in the southern african country however and the impact of covert 19 this unique delicacy has become an unlikely savior in rural areas. roasted field mice are a popular malawian delicacy vendors usually sell my smelt next to this busy highway between the commercial hub of blantyre and the capital the long. burnet simian is a mouse hunter now during the coronavirus spend demick his small trade has gained

new importance. since the start of 19 has been difficult but as a result we rely on mice hunting and selling so that we can sustain our livelihood and we do produce the. traditionally village children hunt the mice smoking them out of their holes they are then cooked salted or dried some allowance choose to eat mice but at the moment for others like simians family it is the only meat they can get. hasn't been the. day that. most times we rely on my husband when he goes out and when times are hard we were lion mice to supplement our diet because we cannot afford to buy meat due to the lack of money now going to the. mice meat might conjure up

ideas of unsafe or unsanitary food but local health authorities don't discourage their consumption. if ever. to take my so you are able to take prize is one of. the. protests. created. so as you get. that call many. protests. more than 50 percent of malawians already lived below the poverty line before the fire is struck the country has had under 6000 official cases of tobit 1000 up to now but the economy people's livelihoods has been the big victim. long after the fires has disappeared mice may still be an important food source on the household table. after decades of civil war mogadishu

is recovering and seeing a building across the city buildings are being constructed but there is often little planning involved so one young somali architects is now trying to make a difference newly built houses and hotels somalia is slowly rebuilding itself. one of the people involved in the efforts is a 30 year old architect. but persuading clients to create beautiful buildings is not always easy. designing architecture and the architecture in somalia is 6 grimly complicated because the people doesn't see that as a need or a necessity but is actually very important. before the civil war mogadishu was dotted with pox theatres and libraries many buildings in the italian polonium period. but today the city doesn't have many public places so the beaches where many go to relax and socialize the city is still facing frequent bombings and

attacks by al-shabaab and when rebuilding the city most people are looking for what's practical not what's beautiful. for me cultural identity should be preserved as be they their city so for me good going back to the roots of somalia learn about the tradition culture of the firm regions and then try to redesign the spaces according to that will help the people to feel that they belong to the space and that they species their own his parents left for italy before the civil war and that's where he grew up. omar then studied architecture both in italy and hong kong skills and experiences he now brings back to somalia. when we decided these days to maybe a was 2 months a cause related entity. to be a talk show. it would teach at the same time even the contemporary of the design so

as we can see here he used the traditional model we see which is the scary if you want to know the somali man. his passion for traditional somali to sign is also showing a book he recently or 3rd. part of his mission to make a difference by building new homes and still remembering fields. and that's it for today. students people who are old over information provided. the means to want to express g.w. on facebook and twitter up to date in touch follow us. in the. climate change.

people. do years do they have their future. g.w. dot com there to serve the making. clear to. reopening the theaters and opera houses of europe is a challenging task in times of corona we'll check in with moscow's famous boris so i feed her and have a look at these stories. a new museum in amsterdam explores how human experience is also heard by new media and technology with experimental multisensory installation . and 2 italian photographers publish an ode to the beauty and diversity

of the humble chicken. well it's proof once again that reopening measures must proceed very carefully indeed just days after moscow's legendary boys' choice theater reopened in grand style with a production of tj's that verity's don carlos starring among others russian austrian diva and on a trip it was unfortunately abruptly canceled when one of the soloists tested positive for the coronavirus so much for that but the company's ballet went ahead with its season premiere. back on stage after a forced break of almost 5 months this is this love lunch ourselves 1st performance since the corona locked down together with. over.

40 dancers from moscow's legendary bolshoi russia's number one theatre and ballet. the 2 soloists are overwhelmed to be back on stage. and i suppose. little it's for us it's a huge thrill to get out of our apartments again and just be creative if that that of the united will just let it out which we have a jam packed schedule of performances so all the dancers even the carter ballet are rehearsing several pieces a day. for the one act ballet for characters in search of a plot the bolshoi decided to forgo the opulence set this in an effort to have a few people as possible involved in the production. with over 1000000 people infected russia currently ranks 4th in the world for covert 1000 cases. the danger

of contagion is ever present. theater staff know it could be months before a vaccine is made available and show them where those saw those 2 and on the one hand we're overjoyed that we can kick off this season just a gritty of our own troops there but we're also very concerned. because there virus is still an issues and we have to deal with the situation but it's that he. could have his thoughts you know that. for example the engagements of 4 choreographers who came in from abroad for the opening piece with borders between russia and the e.u. still closed getting to moscow wasn't easy was it i'm not sure what exactly happened but one day they called us and said come and then suddenly here we were. all 4 segments of 4 characters in search of a plot deal with the corona lockdown especially with ideas surrounding longing and

closeness but also physical proximity which has taken on a whole new meaning for the dancers the pandemic. that is we artists belong on stage we've missed it even just thinking about stepping out onto the stage gives me goosebumps. it's a church just means we're alive so we're living again julia. the bolshoi theatre is daring to live again despite the harsh reality of the pentagon. over to amsterdam now and while the city's museums were closed during knock down a privately funded start up museum devoted to new media was busy preparing to open its doors as soon as regulations allowed for the next museum is meant to fill a gap in the cultural landscape with multisensory immersive installations by international new media artists but also by scientists and technologists and its inaugural show shifting proximities well run for about the next year.

powerful effects multimedia and interactive. amsterdam's new next museum is devoted entirely to digital art. museums founder of and hosting and developed the concept to her few years ago she found the ideal location for her project in the north of amsterdam a former television studio. the marketing expert was able to win over a number of investors and make her dream a reality. i think we are totally obsessed with the future and with technology. with everything that's new in technology it's evolving so rapidly that what we want to do is take technical innovation take artistic science and mold them together music and really give you the experience of the future and also about topics of the

future that you continuum installation by environmental artists time spear staker visualizes the subterranean to. unification between 2 trees 6 the simulation reacts to c o 2 output vibrations and temperature changes caused by the festers. ours is a field that's emerging not only because it enables people to understand science and other data streams a lot easier so did your art is just part of this generation. the inaugural exhibition is called shifting proximities. for most of europe. the middle of the. ritual of well with the sheer size of ship 6 so. it's a really unique experience and it goes beyond interactivity really it really takes you it is it touches me. many places in the world where you can actually experience

. these delusions can't predict how the future will really look like. visitors to amsterdam's new museum could already immerse themselves in potential visions of a future. and melissa holroyd joins me to talk about this daring venture this is really fascinating melissa because it seems to me with this exhibition as a visitor that you're almost not agreeing to be a bit of a guinea pig and you know with some of the installations here at least the next museum office people more than just your average multisensory experience here visitors can be protectionists in a speculative experience with which looks to the future it really stands on the edge of what we know and what we don't know and it asks you do you like what you see do you like where you are headed i mean in terms of where technique where technology is heading yeah that's right i mean the exhibition space in general looks at the times we're living in and focuses on art that uses modern tools to

explore these times one of the most interesting pieces and shifting proximities is apiece. called biometric mira it was put together by cipher artist and body architect lucy mcrae together with action research in human computer interaction dotted kneels vow to realize your title 3 jobs like an algorithm analyzes you and basically tells you who you are your age your personality your agenda it also spits out a more beautified version of you or more say mean and i think you can imagine what type of version it is the set up is deceptively warm and spongy there are questions on the side of the mirror and the whole thing is a very sort of tan worn color it draws you in perhaps in the same way that technology draws us in bought the results of this type of technology of facial recognition can be also quite brutal this is it sounds incredibly intense it sounds almost invasive and in some ways perhaps

a bit overwhelming yeah it is intense and there are rooms in between that sort of act as a sort of among other things this type of palate cleanser as they often visit is a break between the installations another installation on the thing is very interesting it explores the relationship between people and the natural environment it's called habitat it's by mixed media artist hellene blanc and it uses scans of organic are to fix to create a game like medicines of environments the piece is responsive to the movement of visitors who can be seen reflected on the museum's floor with the environmental problems that we're facing habitat is not just a beautiful piece it's also a very loaded piece ok so the there definitely is the critical fight 2 to the think it's very very critical in the exhibition pieces unpack today's issues and they do this by appealing to the experience of the visit is to a spirit by appealing to the emotions of the visitors so through their experience

through actually going through this thing they've become a part of the technology. yes so. so so with things like facial recognition and the environment we can understand the more readily by having the actual experience itself ok well let's hope that we can actually get to amsterdam physically to see this shifting proximities on at the next museum for about the next year thanks very much for bringing us that story and the whole roid . well most people start raising chickens in order to have fresh eggs and if you've ever been lucky enough to do this you'll know that they are indeed endlessly fascinating to watch and chickens can have quite a personality to italian photographers were also struck by the incredible variety of chickens and their new book is an ode to love between any 2 birds of a feather. proud

self-assured and with elegant feathers. these words describe the ornamental chickens displayed in coffee table books by photographers matteo trying to leni and marino monte from milan they both openly admit they're fascinated with chickens and have even acquired a few of their own. their pets could just as easily struck the catwalk. it was a love at 1st sight i never would have expected it for chickens make very good motifs for they're very photogenic and great and. they know right away what they're supposed to do but you don't have to explain it to them. they need hardly any makeup from our experience in the advertising and fashion industries chickens are the best top models and the most natural. and they also seem to be the most patient they obediently follow whatever directions the photographers give them

. for their latest project tail trying to lean in and merino montes opposed to chicken peach from one of a total of 60 breeds as lovers chicken in love as the snappy though somewhat tongue in cheek title. the rooster may protect his hands but he doesn't have that great a reputation as a romantic lover. in the roosters the worst example and absolutely not a role model when it comes to romance. oh fine doesn't do anything and he doesn't produce anything the way and it dominates hundreds of hands when that is definitely not politically correct any more about it works like a ford c.e.o. . well biology being what it is will go now to physics and the celestial realm every year london's royal observatory selects the best photos of the universe for its

that's good to have you with us hundreds of refugees on the greek island of les both have staged a protest demanding to be permitted to leave their vented their anger 3 days after a massive fire destroyed the morea migrant camp leaving some 12000 people homeless the greek government has been scrambling to build new housing for the migrants but officials say the vast majority of them will not be allowed to leave. a desperate crowd gathered to demand their freedom. allowed but peaceful protest on last boss where many are asking to leave the island. with thousands of people now living on the streets the situation is critical i have 5 children and good job we

are leaving here in a very bad situation because at night is away because in june we have been nothing oh my oh is still. as well as shortages of food and medicine poor hygiene and lack of access to sanitary facilities are fueling fears of an outbreak of culvert 19 signs of a new makeshift shelter being built have angered many migrants these 4 to give birth because it is cruel no. good even in these new movies. riot police have again been deployed to block the road to the capital and maintain order. so far germany and france have agreed to allow in just a fraction of the $12000.00 refugees. he says. a few of the $400.00 unaccompanied minors according to our estimate germany will take in about $154.00 in very small it's meeting god more countries are now taking part.

but they always take a small share so germany and france will take in 2 thirds of these $400.00. then. the european union is calling on all member states to welcome their share of migrants there's agreement that europe needs a new migration policy and a new pact is due to be unveiled at the end of this month in the meantime most of the migrants left homeless by the fires are not being allowed to leave less boss. t w correspondent alexander phenomena is on the island of less votes and she has more on the situation there. how to street days still being stuck here are it's we night still sleeping on the roadside people are getting more and more impatient and we they started protesting today marching back and forth chanting freedom freedom and

fun fronting the riot police they told us more you know was killed they go once to be moved to a knob or camp on the island they told us we want to leave you you cannot take care of. many of them wants to go to france belgium or germany one of them told me you a chance so i germany's angela merkel said we can do it why can't the germany take us all in. let's get some perspective on the story now we can speak to constantine kula he's a member of the german parliament for the i. position 3 democrats party the f.t.p. good evening mr cool now you visited moria back in february and you say that the current crisis was foreseeable so what did you suggest at the time that you visited moria that germany should do and why has nothing happened well it's good to be with you and after many politicians from germany from other countries have visited moria

in the last months this was for a senior bull escalation because the circumstances on the island are just inappropriate and it's been like that not just for a couple of weeks but for months and almost years the approach to take a decision about somebody is perspective prospect on asylum and to do that on the european border is the right thing to do but you can only do it if you keep people under appropriate circumstances at the european border of this is not happening at the moment on lesbos on the other greek islands and this is why there needs to be more education of the most vulnerable groups and at the same time there needs to be a fresh start for the negotiations on the common european asylum policy ok mr cohen i want to ask you back in december of the leader of the green party suggested that the government should take in 4000 children from crib in greece that are still be on capacity as you said in terrible conditions and at the time your party leadership rejected that so what do you see now as

a concrete solution to evacuate these people living in a dire situation. on the one hand the situation in moria in lesbos is so bad that it has to be sold no matter what the next approach on the common european asylum sort of policy will be so there needs to be evacuation it's the right thing to do that especially germany and france will now take more minor refugees to their countries on the other hand we cannot forget that 2015 cannot repeat itself in the that there cannot be just the german approach that needs to be a european approach and i know that especially constituents that voters are tired of hearing that in germany but it's the right thing to stress it especially in a time where germany is in charge of the presidency so you can stress the european solution all the time the release have also done it in december but when it comes to the news and presidency it's now germany's part to play to push forward and to

see a sions for a common european policy that's another thing that has to happen now while there certainly urgency behind it now but you mentioned the 2015 should not happen again and some conservative lawmakers also the far right party d.a.s.d. in the bundestag argue that bringing migrants from morea now to germany would send the wrong signal that burning down such a camp is an avenue to germany or to other parts of europe so what is your response to that. as you describe it the debate on what's happening in moria is highly polarized in germany we have on the one hand suggestions by the far left by the greens to get everyone to the greek mainland and to get everyone to france and to germany on the other hand we have just a reaction by the far right and by some conservative lawmakers denying what is happening in moria and that we just have a human crisis that has to be solved so there needs to be inappropriately approach from the middle of the political spectrum allowing some vulnerable people some

vulnerable groups to come to germany to other countries as part of a real cation problem problem problem but at the same time there needs to be a german government that makes use of its political power we cannot allow to pass this new presidency of germany without a new approach on the common european policy concept include a member of the german board to start for the f t p thank you so much for joining us thank you. now israel appears to be heading back into a nationwide lockdown after a record 4000 new infections in a single day the government won praise for its early response to the pandemic but a dramatic rise in cold cases and deaths means a 14 day lockdown is set to begin next week they have used tanya kramer reports. this area of the emergency room at this hospital and listen live on this kept off limits with the help of remote cameras and money tourists emergency physician

top house experts like professor of epidemiology go barbash say israel is at a crucial crossroads and needs a more decisive strategy what should be done we should have a look though clear strict look down for 3 to 4 weeks to decrease the number of new infections to less than 100 and then manage it. better than we've managed to 1st. on tuesday a nighttime curfew was imposed in communities with high infection rates like here in been a block. now israel's government has drawn up a plan for a taste nationwide knock down expected to be imposed from next week. at this immediate medical center a new patient arrives and just taken to the isolation board israeli soldiers are also hoping now to manage the crisis here they're taking corona test samples to
