impose a total embargo on mali if that and other conditions were not met in madiao if a public opinion about those appointment is mixed. i would have liked the people to have chosen a politician because mali has been a democracy for almost 25 years. i'm very happy because it's a purely political appointment he's also a career soldier. i think ultimately no man is suitable some and get things done a less divisive but the new president is among the least divisive personalities in the country i'm now joined by about a local she is chair of the african security sector network pen africa network off experts and organizations working in security sector reform good to have you on the program that is so we've just heard some different opinions about bundles

appointments. how do you think people and money feel about having a military man as a transitional president. it's important to remember is that just after cooper and. august there was a lot of enthusiasm i'm close to treat and also you know there are parts of the country but no no i think that feelings of people are more mixed including because so of course you can also be cool. elites do not necessarily agree we. do you know we need you know. so i think there are different feelings about these including because it and 5 areas being i was explaining some concerns and to the probation about. nomination. how is. meant by point going to go

down with regional leaders specifically ecowas who had restraints that they wanted a civilian to leave the transitional council. asked for is to 1000000000 to ease the transition not only president as a transition but also the prime minister so the name says it shows a prime minister will be also a very important element but it is also important to remember is that a congress out also in greek to have a longer transition know. initially as no there seems to agree to either 18 months transition but also really ment's will be important because the lousy curation of states has been also required to you know it's been. a good book to be sold it is one of their required and so we will see if

they will ringback let them do you know it is that they are desperately since you 2 are your prime minister who will be you need to review these equally in charge of defense and security related matters now that the echo us was very quick simple sanctions. following that that could have just wondered about these sanctions and how how much they could have an impact on on the efforts by the transitional council just how uncomfortable could these sanctions make it for the transitional council. those sentient will have a lot of bats each day and age there are to be continued to date you can use there are targeting specifically the gent it is a reality is that on the ground it is more often that now that book relations and c.d.'s why are so far in from them and it will not be possible for same you

of getting infected by corporate 19 so i use the online service to consult my doctor who often i will see in the course they want to do thing. though to jump call some parties to contribute to bruce's treatment. to $400.00 doctors are valuable and a plus for. more than 500 patients since we started operating in june. the intelligence sometimes down but doctors manage to reach out to their patients one of the few people feel it costs about $3.00 a month just for medical far under service. fee for consultation. with us you know. i can assure you that the are many patients who are suffering away need of a doctor def or the main challenge is to make disservice more efficient and become a point to make it a valuable to all cameroonians to everyone that needs it it's really. cameron his record in more than 300000 coronavirus cases with

a little over 400 it's we know and site of the global pandemic more and more people cannot decide to use it the means to consult a doctor away from the hospital. now in kinshasa that's the capital of the democratic republic of congo hijackings are on the increase getting a taxi or many of us in downtown kinshasa has been dangerous for a long time particularly for women traveling on their own now the situation has gotten worse and women are pressuring police to crack down on the criminals. lose each other id never really felt safe catching a taxi in downtown kinshasa. one day worst fears were realized. if it seemed. kidnapping by criminals disguised as taxi drivers that it was on my way home from work they kidnapped me around 6 and let me go around

midnight and. they stole my fire so i couldn't even contact my family member. me. official statistics of kidnappings a hard to come by but sure id says it's becoming more common for criminals posing as taxi drivers to kidnap women and demand a ransom from their families. own experience led her to start a campaign to raise awareness about the issue. i heard women complaining about the problem. and then when it happened to me i thought we have to save others we have to save people's lives that's how all this began we made a promise that what happened to us wouldn't happen to at us at even. the women's activism is finally showing some results. police now acknowledge that the city is

becoming more dangerous for women and are trying to do something about it. as a kid. these constant calls for help reached the authorities. this service to you without a lie they instructed the forces of law and order to implement security measures security. which began with the reinforcement of police patrols. creek. police roadblocks these days specifically target yellow cabs and real taxi drivers confirm the police increased presence at night. i've noticed that there are problems in the city there are criminals and that's why there are controls to try and find these people who create fear in the city. even

in taxis you are checked in if a dangerous object is discovered you are arrested. police say the patrols have slashed the numbers of kidnappings from up to 8 kidnappings a day to nearly none at all. each. time that's where we'll leave it for the program today be sure to check our other stories on dot com forward slash africa or on facebook and now leave you with some inspiration from the amal jazz band in south sudan the band works with children seeking shelter from conflicts at the u.n. protection sites in. the north of the country. like new for us as a jazz band music is everything so we decided to train youngsters here so they can learn about their culture there's a real challenge for displaced children across south sudan to keep in touch with their own cultures so we wanted to find a way to keep our traditions alive among the younger generation i know you don't

you see the music or hear it at least i hear it is. massive drama competition drives marketing numbers atmosphere power fight that's how intuition love hate money. fans fans fantasy fans unfound told to go on youtube joining us. you're listening

to an official estimates more than 1200000 venezuelans live in columbia legally and illegally. already echoing what i'd return to. visit friends i don't think i'd ever go back there to live you know what i live there again i don't know so i'm not sure. bearing witness global news that matters . made for minds. how do you perform shakespeare's macbeth when actors can't even get close enough to play a murder scene coming up on arts and culture theater in the age of cove it and also on the show capturing america's diversity and divisions to photographers take their studio on the road and later the small town where centuries of instrument

making traditions live on from generation to generation. welcome to arts and culture anyone who has read or seen macbeth remembers the famous line out damn spot out i say as lady macbeth tries desperately to scrub her hands clean well since the coronavirus that we've all done plenty of hand washing theatres too are taking precautions as they reopen in places including here in germany. now i would. first stop the powderpuff so this is it the return of theatre to a kind of new normality make me see macbeth applies his own make up. macbeth is almost alone on the stage of dressed and darts shall speak murders at a distance his desperation the rush of blood to the head his lust for power are

solitary moments backed by the band woods of burnham actor director christian friedel has bought a slimmed down version of his planned macbeth to the stage the new season he calls it searching for macbeth. show is a foretaste a theatrical trailer in which $31.00 people are missing and there are usually $37.00 people on stage and now we have the band and the to bear so to speak so of course it's a big difference to. the rehearsals in spring 2020 unimaginable now christian freedom is intense interaction with dancers actors and musicians it was supposed to be a monumental shakespeare evening with all the blood sweat and tears that theater can muster. in this but it was an almost ready in march

but usually the last week is always the week were some things are changed decisions are made things are left out that's when you really get ready to pray and we were prevented from doing that. now 6 months later everything is back to square one at the start shall build trust and audience flow systems are being set up so theatregoers have less contact with each other. warning signs everywhere the theater has become a dangerous. stage actors maintain one and a half meters distance all in more energetic scenes 6 meters. rule on stage and in the auditorium this makes for a more intimate but not necessarily easy production to. the acting school that.

whether a few people see it is very very difficult to convince them the room is not filled with an atmosphere that automatically comes alive so a little more has to happen almost and that's why it's such a challenge and i'm glad to be able to play at all. the. searching for macbeth in dressed in the time of corona the stage belongs to the lone warrior. michael krueger from 2 w.'s culture desk is here now to talk a little bit about the situation in theater mike intimacy is normally such a big part of it or it seems to have gone a little bit missing here absolutely nearly everything is for. cases

and the the same theater we already saw is also performing the magic mountain that back at the moment and look at. a kid. that's stunning isn't it beautiful but this is also the perfect play for the pandemic it's about patients of a senatorial when everybody's already upset. so that i just don't have to get very close to each other. oh my gosh i could just watch that for hours ok but here in germany you know we're really lucky we have the situation there is public funding for theatre not the situation everywhere still this pandemic has to be a huge financial blow to theaters yet they have to cut back and every possible way. and even in which is sold out that doesn't mean that they have already enough money. because most of the seed has to remain empty and we all and the people also

expect that we saw that in. the opera house filled the seats box it back it had to cancel the show the people clapped in protest because of a lack of social distancing especially in the highest and cheapest seats so it is hard just they can't just sell out these exactly so it's really hard to get back to normal on the other hand we are seeing some really creative solutions and very scary ones there we have a make some bull this is not only zombie apocalypse it's also a drive in theater in tokyo the company started this as a way to get close to the audience safely so visitors can be afraid of everything just not of the crew of others because everybody's safe and they'll come and this is also a car washes are it yeah after after that performance the zombies khelein because. ok well if we could go to tokyo if they said i could go now anyone who is
