i mean a shake of the african diaspora forum in johannesburg says attacks on foreigners like the net not uncommon the business metropolis is a hotspot for xenophobic violence it's every side you are experiencing this in one day on average the somali community alone every 2nd day we lose one form on a national in line of duty same with. one going to do if you committed to stand with it you have been community very recent and you have also seen attacks in part of because there were hundreds of jobs were looted and 100 dismissed so it's something that is happening on every day but they do not mostly in the mainstream media unless it is muscle shakers himself from so he says south africa's economic problems could aggravates the tensions more than 3000000 people have already lost their jobs because of the pandemic once a week his organization organizes food distribution it's a last logon is to be discriminated doesn't mean you have to also discriminate we

have to make sure what their very lives support we give we also give it to the local south african shake says educating people about racism is necessary to overcome south africa's growing tensions. a huge part of migrants came to south africa looking for greener pastures and they're particularly hit hard by the economic consequences of the corona virus and demick many lost their jobs and they do not get any support from the south african government the government has created a 25000000000 euro 8 back extra help ease economic strains from the pen to make it hundreds of. thousands of asylum seekers refugees and undocumented migrants will get nothing out of it despite the issues with discrimination many south africans criticize the government for this it's not. just because they're not part of that. they came to the country to. help. so why

not also help the. needs i think it's a good idea for the government support for the pandemic because during the revolutionary times weren't exactly picky with when africa could go but africa opened. this help africans during their time of need so why not reciprocate and return that favor now during the pandemic times. and i'm sure in other countries. do they pay taxes. if they do you think it's only fair that they also crohn's and support from the government because they also contribute to the economy. back in cape town. from the democratic republic of dreams of one day becoming a lawyer to help other children who have been victims of discrimination the classmates when not honest.

human rights watch joins us from all stored in the u.k. and thanks for your time. again. but it's not getting any. reports. well yes there's a lot of that violence in south africa continues to escalate and it comes in waves so much as well because it is never been resolved today has been no accountability of the police it will take an action to conduct with those who committed the act uses so we continue to hear these problems in the political leaders in south africa also in some cases. it will be violence it is not been dealing with decisively to date. i mean it sounds like a very complicated issue we talk about this every time. sense now what you've got

is the root cause of all this hate against especially other african migrants in south africa well their root causes relates to competition for resources. over to an informal settlements but also a tree lit 2. month political leaders to scapegoat in blame foreign nationals of what the problem or lack of service delivery insides of africa which you've been buttressed by the police looking the other way the police not investigating terribly in short and successful. prosecutions and convictions so when people are not punished for these criminal out they then. boarded to repeat under conditions of impunity and now building up from the point you just made because that's what your report suggests that those suspected of

bottom he can fire and as often quickly when least prosecuted so what is the government's role in all of this. the government has a responsibility to. investigate it it is police to maintain law and order to ensure that there is no violence in the government is depicted one that is fully believed he has not carried out fully so in a sense you could say the institutionalised in a 4 year because when you look to the almost 50000000 south africa he is not focused on a minimal in order instead it is targeted for a national forest for the petitions and this is true we feel in the nationalist kin regularities they have taken to the figure has not been with me 15 really so they used a lot that the government can do use here is since last year in national action

plan to combine to the 4 bia but that action plan has not been implemented. i guess it's all about implementation that i think south africa director out for human rights watch thanks for your analysis thank you thank you. now we all need some showing out especially during the cold the 19th and then they were just cost health and economic crisis doesn't attainment has also been neglected by the nigeria. a clown has taken to the streets of lagos to give the cats something to cheer for. for just a latte today it's like any other day just make up to transform into his alter ego joe punky. but corner virus measures mean to punkin can't clown around kids petty parties and on a social event like he used to so the former school teacher has had to find other

arts and culture we're starting off the show with a look at ante bellum the new revenge horror movie about racism and slavery in the united states by debut directors bush and rents it's the 1st lead role for singer actress jenelle monet she plays a 21st century woman whose biggest concerns are her yoga regime and her vegan diet but then something awful happens. around the campaign lee is a black woman who has said. we are the future. but there are people who want to take it away from her who are you were. kidnapped veronica wakes up in a version of a slave plantation of old and she belum america's racist past is still very much with us. there's so much distraction so much distraction that we have to keep reminding people. this happened if we if we think again. we're kidding ourselves

it absolutely came so we have to tell the truth i think this film is going to be triggering for. that from the produces of global hit get out and she ballon uses the central message that being black in america is like living in a horror movie and she fell and had a socially distance drive in premiere in los angeles the movie itself is being released online. to. whatever you do and i can't. whoever came from the fore here. that is not possible for me. in her 1st leading role saying it turned actress jenelle monet hopes to have an impact beyond the box office rule change requires recruiting. you know when a prudent. change. is going to take

media it's going to take films in state news you are reminded that we have to protect black lines and in particular we have to protect. your word. antebellum and being navy with grand social ambitions. of god did over use film expert scott roxboro with me now scuds are antebellum this looks like a seriously woke horror movie yeah i can see call that i mean it's basically a big horror movie but it's got a really strong political subtext i mean essentially the subtext is that americans original sin of slavery has not gone away but is buried underneath like a like a demon waiting to waiting to spring up and wreck havoc right i know one of the producers on this movie has the same her produced jordan people's movie get out

a few years back different story want to really kind of the same themes it works like yeah i think so i mean this is almost a new subject on a black horror films with social messages which i think people really invented with with with get out and if you member that movie was a black guy who has a white girlfriend and he finds out that his girlfriend supposedly nice white family are secretly slaving black people are not so nice the the metaphor there is of course underlying racism of supposedly liberal all white people. feel that a similar thing with his a 2nd movie which came out last year called us and they have a very middle class black family and then they're sort of invaded by a group of doppelganger look just like them black people who want to take the life that they have here the metaphor is more about the class division between black people. with those skills when they work these sort of black horror movies they're great because they're great horror. films and they also are really socially

relevant and they spark a debate i think particularly right now they reflect the debates that we're having in politics and even on the streets of america. let's talk a little bit about gentlemen a we've been watching her for years now she's a leading lady yeah exactly i mean norah singer right we are young a number of years ago as an actress she really came on the radar for me with the hidden figures a few years ago where she plays an engineer who starts to work for nasa as a key figure in the. 1960 lands there i mean she just survived off the screen she's really phenomenal since then and she's mainly done supporting roles i mean she had a small role in in the moonlight the last when you know she was great about yeah phenomenal and and she's going to be a new film of the gloria's alongside alicia condor and julianna moore but again this film is the 1st leading role i don't think i'm going to just movie by think she's probably the best thing in it but we wouldn't have not seen the end of her

not the end of her as a leading lady i mean she's a phenomenal actress a double threat actress singer i think she's going to be a huge huge future ahead of her i know you're going to be talking about her much more on that is to come thanks scar explorer. now architects shape the world we live in but construction is doing serious damage to our planet so how can we make attractive new buildings more sustainable one way plants a lot of them there is the way just by german architect in. this stunning building complex in the western german city of will soon be home to shops and offices one being hedges and over 30000 plants on the outside if you're trying to bring some green into the city or a quite radical approach onto the rooftops of facades and set an example. to make people stop and think big. stuff in
