candidates i think as the elliptical temperatures are rising for more come and have gone up. barry sheene is getting scarce and therefore that. they're pulling out all the the this top says it well. to under lease to and he is today as still putting on a brave face but they're not expecting the next 2 weeks to be easy. and i'm now joined by amnesty international's roland a bowler he recession is ten's and i welcome to day doesn't use africa roland thank you action in tanzania is 2 weeks away you've just released a report warning that president well before his government is and a mining civil freedom said this about the timing of this report of course more about what's in it. so this report is basically a follow up to the oktober reported they told their price we paid to get it for

decent but they don't stand in state and if you put this situation over an extended period of time we do reach you know human rights violations have been continuing and especially we knew lose what i mean went to all the laws and also blanket ban such as on political rallies how popular is president john the gulf where we've just watched a report we've seen him they have pack a whole stadium almost support says. he is obviously the person who is pushing these reforms just give us a sense of his popularity of course the kinds of human rights situation that you are observing. yes maybe unpopular n.t.a. know that in pretty 15 prizm ago fully elected by a few percent. back then this was actually knowing how their ruling party. has been performing in tanzania this was actually

a decline in terms of support and perhaps that who would be what has informed you know the kind of repressive laws that re ever actually seen because what we believe is that the president is trying to consolidate power and also consolidate as you know we know as we go into that election so as and when and go to the point in the general elections we have seen that you know there have the human race development in the country indeed up to this election has not been anything that you know we would actually call it you know good we have seen during this period you know. intimidation against harassment arbitrary arrests and detention but not just against politicians we've seen media houses media outlets journalists being too new repressive laws and we've also seen critics such as at least you know

you did hear of a case of a comedian eateries hooten that was arrested for laughing at a throw bark and what of the president and what was he charged with in court last had read you know failure to register and you simply could you know suck in such trumped up charges you see repression harassment against even clerics religious clerics right now and it's in their report you know a religious muslim religious leader that is into hiding so it is everyone that is being targeted at the moment roland is it your view that the op tell between 8 election for not. it's international we. are free and fair elections will be democratic and all that but one of the things that you call for ease that i think human traits must never be suspended with its before with its during or after elections which we are calling for is that human

and she did so in the form of an epic poem i couldn't imagine writing a classical novel in which i'd put some words in my protagonists mouth for instance or invent some dialogue. soon i recalled that there was an ancient form in which great exploits and daring deeds were told. by a mortal and that's the heroic at that and with me it became a heroine's epic. and it was about. the woman whose life unavailable recount says a novel in verse was born in a fishing village in brittany she was the only child of staunch communists who wanted to create a better world and there was determined to fight for that too in 1940 when the germans occupied france she joined the french resistance risking her life more than once. after the war and it plunged into a new battle fighting for algerian independence from france unavailable writes how

a net in. realized her around syrian comrades were just as brutal french occupying does that make her a heroine. it is a kind of but it's not. always questioning for instance. is it permissible to kill people to achieve a certain goal. reading the novel. says she didn't even recognize the heroine. is a literary figure as unique as the woman who inspired her. for more on the winner of this year's german book prize of got my colleague already here with me great can you tell us a little bit more about how this book came about. i know they have a met her protagonist at a panel discussion she says the encounter was love at size they said in her

a novel about courage resistance and the struggle for freedom seems like a really extraordinary wife and she's a person a lot of us actually hadn't heard of before this work she's not an unknown she wrote an autobiography and there's also been a documentary made about her. yet but she is absolutely extraordinary and her life was not without contradictions she risked her life to risky to jewish children during the 2nd world war and for that she received the righteous among nations distinction from israel but she paid a big price for her activities not just a 10 year prison sentence for helping the ethyl enjoying the algerian war but she also lost contact with her own 2 children and her husband and she was also a neurologist. just. recently is this book coming out in english it's out in french and german well our audience be able to read it well i spoke to the publishes they said they haven't received any offers for english rights yes but about half the

and most approach works the mingling and mixing of strong colors plays a key role. mountainous shapes made from styrofoam form the canvas. and even the floor is a part of the artwork. katherina cost doesn't use paint brushes she prefers working with a spray paint. it's mongolia this is my tool it's like a spear because it comes out at the top. and he has the trick of the mind up which allows you to reach spaces high up and to great lengths and it's expandable it up to 4 metres long just like a ladder it's allows me to lengthen the reach of my body and that's what i'm really interested in to change the shape and size of my body in order to reach that little corner at the top without too much effort it's sort of like a magic weapon. off. the green corner from 1998 was a milestone in catalina calls as unbounded artwork ignoring all. spatial carriers

she paints on entire landscapes in bright colors. from a young age i love to listen not but then i did grow up in the seventy's all the clothes were really really colorful i remember orange choses yellow shirts and green sweater vests and the sweater vest wasn't important clothing item until now the other colors to be seen like a miss neves. the purest concrete building in berlin is home to catalina classes studio. before she creates her large artworks she designs a smaller model. currently she's working on her contribution to the helsinki b.n. dollar 2021 in finland. there's also a model here of the current exhibition in berlin. catalina gloucester enjoys the fact that her artworks exist for a limited amount of time. spent with us and i think that's great beauty in the

temporal limited existence and disappearance of the artworks which lingus and is a long process because it's an advent and the deconstructions already happening in the present. this impressive piece will also disappear. the exhibition called it wasn't us can be experienced until january 2021. back and 2014 the u.s. banned future iowans became the flavor of the month they then pressed on their next album in just 3 weeks front man samuel t. herring said it was a flop because his writing felt rushed and dishonest now the band is back their new album is very sincere. the song thrill from the new album as long as you are feels like a commentary on the current global crises. i think it's an

album. about trust and except. trust of ourselves the trust others give us the acceptance of ourselves and the acceptance that others give us it's about it's about love. coming to rest finding your place in life just one of the topics addressed by the band from baltimore on their 6th album they became overnight sensations and 2014 when singer samuel t. herring was in his early thirty's his band had been an insider tech struggling to make ends meet all of that flows into herring's very personal lyrics. 3 days.

this is the new year's night from governments across europe increase restrictions to contain the spread of coronavirus this is the called symmetric cause it's highest weekly numbers of new infections since the start of the time that the e.u. announces plans to curb travel from hotspots in the czech republic imposes a state of emergency for midnight also on the program soccer superstar. tests positive for corona virus is playing with the portuguese national team for the past week and was supposed to play for his country on wednesday night on the floor but

now they say i'm a united feel i feel so proud. welcome to the program european union countries have agreed a common strategy for restricting travel from coronavirus hotspots. depending on the number of. cases. the kind of confusion that disrupted. earlier this year.

we get the latest from. brussels. it's a 1st attempt filled to sort of bring a bit of order into the european chaos with regard to covert and travel but it is only a 1st step because this whole thing is voluntary so member states can do it that must not to do it not necessary don't have to do it it is traffic light system as you said green means an area was relatively few infections or inch means it's already critical and red means it is really in a very bad situation in a region so countries which are green can travel to other countries which are green orange means you have to take precautions maybe do

a corner test because before travelling there or go into a current in. red means say you should not move at all that is a 1st attempt at coordinating the european rules which have been totally chaotic for instance germany has a travel warning fall belgium but france doesn't so who do you believe it is the problem that the figures that these warnings are based on and these regulations are based on a are so very different so they're supposed to be brought together but there is a lot of criticism already and people say it's not going to work as it is supposed to ok stay with us barbara we're going to take a look at one of the e.u. countries hit hardest by these new infections and that's the czech republic where officials will say don't impose a 3 week state of emergency schools bars and clubs to close until at least the 3rd of november it's a dramatic reversal of fortune from a country that relatively unscathed from the 1st months of the pandemics. almost

500 people have died of cope at 19 in the last 2 weeks in the czech republic more than in the 1st months of the pandemic another 400 are in critical condition. because. i think people are not taking the virus seriously. medical staff at this hospital in prague are doing all they can to protect themselves nearly 3000 doctors and nurses have been infected with the virus meaning many are unable to work. in klein and come in small hospitals where there are not so many staff it can be problematic if one infection turns into a cluster. no other country in europe currently has a higher rate of infection per capita as the czech republic many let their guard down in the summer i became lots about protective measures like the wearing of my.

breasts and just a total if they say please wear a mask then very few people will do that it was recommended in the holidays but no one more a mask the ability to put a chimney effect than you can do and you can enter. the government has decided to take action theatres cinemas museums and gyms have already closed and even tighter restrictions go into force from midnight. bars now have to show us and restaurants can only offer takeaway it's another heavy blow for an already struggling hospitality sector. barbara faisal in brussels is still with us barbara severe restrictions in the czech republic but they're the only e.u. country taking action. absolutely not because the netherlands have just now announced a very similar regime they are going to close the restaurants bars cafes from

tomorrow they will tell people that they should use public transport only if absolutely necessary they discourage people from sort of getting together at all in public at home you're supposed to have only 3 people as guests who are not your immediate family so they really are restricting across the lines public life there is going to be obligation to wear masks in public because the dutch people pubs to kuli don't like to obey rules and they have shown that in the past months very similar picture as we just saw for the czech republic and prime minister route to marc rich he just appealed to his citizens and he said he said it is in your hands you now have to show responsibility by obeying these new rules they're supposed to be held up for about 4 weeks that's what the health minister said but they might even be prolonged if the netherlands don't manage to sort of break this vicious cycle of ever sort of increase in corona infections the country is now like the 2nd

or 3rd worst hit in europe problems all in brussels thank you. soccer superstar christina rinaldo has tested positive for corona virus the u. venturesome portugal striker will not be able to play for his country and the nations league game against sweden on wednesday and the last 7 days he's played into international matches all of the players and portugal to have tested negative . take a close look at this with the water problem for the. public what more do we know about this coronavirus positive result we're getting a lot of information of the from portuguese local media i don't see this is being covered by every news outlet worldwide and what we do know with. christiane or another was tested 6 times in the last 7 days along with the rest of his teammates and it was actually on monday that he came back positive now we know that he's

being tested again actually imports we don't have the result of that at the moment what's been quite a concern is just yesterday on monday he posted a photograph of himself with his team mate it appears they were having a lunch because of course they're all together at the moment because they're preparing for this nation's league match against sweden and also interestingly you mentioned before that he's a new ventures player actually there are members of the event this team who are at the moment come back positive for corona virus now at the moment rinaldo is going to be staying in portugal and we don't know exactly what his movements are going to be but he is well he is asymptomatic and he said that he's feeling absolutely fine and it's also important to note that this is actually the 3rd positive case in the past 2 weeks in the portuguese national team so it's definitely a big concern for all involved he's not the 1st player to test positive what impact

is the voters having on the going well not just on football we'll start with football because you know we heard over the past few months of. football teams players in particular some quite well known players such as you know. or neymar or ac milan strikers a lot on the brim of h. and they've also come back positive for a coronavirus and the thing is like with this photograph that i was mentioning before you know a football team spends a lot of time together they're a pretty large number of people and even if they are in isolation there are many other members of staff who they come into contact with so it's a big concern we've seen how soccer clubs across the world have been trying to control you know the spread of the virus by not having fans in the stadium or at least sort of limiting the number of people into the different stadiums around the world but it's sort of inevitable that we're seeing these positive cases of coronavirus brief what about all the sports well we've seen at the moment as well

this week that the. cycling championship taking place in italy is on the brink of consolation because 5 teams were hit by covert 1000 cases we've also seen across the atlantic with the national football league in the united states they've had to reschedule 8 games as well because several well quite a large number of coronavirus i breaks there. thank you. we'll take a look now at some other stories making news around the world the german chancellor angela merkel has warned that the e.u. must be prepared if trade talks with britain failed if there's no deal by the end of the year the e.u. could introduce a new border controls and trade restrictions britain's britain left the e.u. earlier this year. a huge bombs exploded while being defused remotely near the polish seaport we know we should say no one was injured the 5 and a half ton device was discovered last year during judging operations was one of

a result we're also then seeing more land it. your investments know this isn't going to change anytime soon. kenya's fertility rate will continue through and the banks will lend much more more profits probably in the long run. sorry it seems like such a jump to go from from banking to fertility rates can fertility rates be. attributed . other problems with the nigerian economy. the well this goes back i mean we've been struggling for a while to understand why investment was so low in so many african countries but not all in morocco strain the high investment rates interest rates very low and the reason that again comes back to these things since you are it's we seen this in china this is a good i.m.f. . but in addition a problem which i'm getting at is is that the currency is too strong in nigeria if

you have a cheap currency and a current account surplus in the $2.00 where in ransom then then you still can have low cost of deposits i'm not mormon nigerian those are keep its currency strong and the whole issue. you mention is trying to keep in terms of strong but it is holding back investment and holding back banks how would nigeria to otherwise if you can just briefly tell us how how does it what was the old what's the alternative. if you've got a small amount of savings in your own banking system that it's trying gets in trouble short you can do that by making some very attractive to foreign direct investment but you can also do that by running errands counts as having a cheap currency so if i look at kazakhstan or i'm gonna they will have cheap currencies they're exporting well they will be hit really hard by coronavirus because of the oil price will they let and currencies we can

a great deal and that should bring dollars into their economy nigeria is designed to keep this is consequent strong so it's not got that in phones which ok telly roberson from renaissance capital thanks a lot for bringing as your insides. here in berlin the government has imposed curbs on the night life between 11 pm and 6 am in an effort to control the spread of the coronavirus effective curfew is a blow to bars and restaurants that were already struggling many nightclubs also face ruin as emily go dean reports clothes for the night 11 pm that's normally one hole but volga says bar would start to fill up now it's when the lights go out and the doors shut. compulsory masks social distancing and now a curfew tough times for bars and clubs in the party capital berlin. i'm on and on them all off on fire when you have to social distance in

a room where 50 people normally sit and now it's just 10 to 20 of the make it's very hard from an economic standpoint it's a question of time until you run out of money you're practically being bled dry. looted from the falls. as a bar owner the coronavirus restrictions are pushing him to the financial brink but as a father fungus can sympathize. with. the both of them i have a daughter who is at high risk she has a heart defect and was hospitalized 5 times by age 3. and when you see your child suffer like that and then see how the situation is getting really dangerous you really don't want to see anyone go through that there's much to moneyman from some with the human nightclubs have been struggling with coronavirus restrictions for months with alternative events like these they try to keep their hands above water but small concerts are hardly profitable clubs have been shut for months many of

them face financial ruin. this means that tens of thousands of employees and artists are currently without lark and so far have no prospect of continued employment meanwhile the costs for running clubs are just coming to a stop. the same goes for restaurants this evening 3 guests have already cancelled their reservations at the old boss is worried that it could get even worse. and the worst case would be a complete lockdown then it's safe to say that next year around a quarter of restaurants will no longer exist in berlin or in germany. and. hardly any bars clubs and restaurants in berlin a bitter pill for the german party capital to swallow. well let's look at the other end of the spectrum and mase a business woman from brazil who won't let the pandemic crush her entrepreneurial
