truly your risk meter just shows the numbers. show me. the way to where you're going. to read. this news africa coming up on the program racial tensions flare up in south africa a farm murder cases opening old wounds and dividing a nation 26 years after the end of apartheid. and a new dam nears completion in guinea will it satisfy pardon minds and light up millions of homes. fighting food waste with

a chef touch how one is feeding the needy. hello i'm told me all a lot of ball glad you could join us rising racial tensions in a small town in south africa that's become the focus of the country's attention in senegal 2 black men have appeared in court in connection with the killing of a white farm manager outside the courthouse riot police had to keep white farmers and black protesters apart. returning to the scene of his employees killing is a painful moment for farm owner give the sheep this is 21 year old employ you brendan horner was found dead here 2 weeks ago she was believed he was killed by cattle thieves that's where the beauty of. the plot was yet. he watched it. go. to.

the top. that's all i can say about our culture it has taken a good 2 for them it was a real issue put little human being on friday 2 suspects accused in connection with foreigners killing appeared in court for the 2nd time their 1st appearance last week ended in chaos after white farmers attacked police vans and tried to storm the holding cells the farmer blamed the police for failing to protect them from violent crime hundreds of farmers came out once again to protest this week some even going as far as claiming there's a genocide happening against white farmers a claim that is proven wrong by statistics although the overall crime numbers have been going up in south africa over the past years the number of farmer does heavens last year there were less than 60 farmer does and more than $20000.00 murders in total in south africa and the same periods amongst others that is one of the points

that protesters on the other side of the road here are trying to race. with. the opposition party the economy freedom fighters staged a counter protest in the center of seneca a mess of police presence kept the 2 groups of pox the black south african protesters say they want to protect public property from white farmers will not stand back and watch white people being treated differently from people in the black people they own they behave like they're more privileged than we are in this country. the economic freedom fighters say the lack of land access for black south africans contributes to the country's mess of inequality more than 2 decades after the end of apartheid less than 10 percent of the farms in the area around santa cow and the majority of black south africans still live in poverty.

gillie she didn't join the protesting farmers he says people are trying to hijack the death of his former employee for political reasons all these folks and all these things are. good because people. in this interview with good morning were always so good with neighbors that don't like to get on well with the workers at the. good news that the job was good but in the last few. a lot of people. years ago they were very very strong. about the black people. she wants justice for the killing but he doesn't trust the police or court system and has hired private detectives i'm joined now by d.w. south africa correspondent. we've just seen his report on the case and he joins us now from in front of the police lines around the courthouse in santa col jan why

has this killing spark such heated and divided emotion in south africa. on the side of the pharmacist and he told me that it was a tip of the iceberg because in the past month we have seen an increase in crime pedophile after attacks on the farms not murders though but then this murder case off as young man came in and that's triggered a very emotional response that we've seen last week that also turns violence on the side of the u s f a comic freedom fighters they try to put a political point down here they are basically officially said they come here because of law and order they want to reinstate it but. the other version is also that they of course try to represent the marginalized majority here trying to get their votes and trying to advocate for land reform that they've been done for a long time basically advocating for taking away land from white farmers and redistributing it's to black farmers meant to me one point that i really have to say is quite sad is to see 26 years after the end of apartheid approaches where you

have black protesters on one side and white protesters on the other that was really sad to see for me but this white lies on the other hand to see that if you talk to people here who live here they don't see it their extreme all they want is peace and for the government to finally do something about that ok. and south africa thank you for bringing us up to speed. less than a 3rd of gagne's population has access to electricity both president alpha condé and the opposition's. have promised to fix the country's power problem if given the chance in sunday's election a new hydroelectric dam financed by china is nearing completion the sloppy project could almost double the country's existing power supply for many guinea and seeing is believing its guinea's largest situated on the concrete river the sewer p.t. hydroelectric power station has been under construction since 2015 powered by

a $1000000000.00 loan from china. behind this wall today we have a run 4000000000 cubic meters of water. the maximum is 6300000000 cubic meters that's the reservoirs capacity which this body of water that's going to allow us to generate electricity. when finished the dam would generate enough power to satisfy nationwide demand but it could go a long way to changing the fortunes of many in the region guineans have been complaining for years about the lack of reliable power. take a look there's no ice really every day the state makes promises about electricity going to improve your quality of life there are many power stations but nothing works. the national electricity provider has a generator driven power plant for when other sources cut out but only for

a limited period. every day who turn on a 7 pm and turn off 1 in the morning but the messages people have to accept paying for electricity. means entire communities are plunged into darkness for long periods even though the imposing dam project is nearly ready still not clear how it will supply guinea's people with the electricity they've long waited for it's one of many sticking points that could affect how people vote in the presidential elections. let's take a look now at some other stories making news around the continent. in nigeria lagos authorities have arrested 4 police officers on allegations of attacking protesters earlier in the week police have been accused of violently detaining and even shooting live ammunition at people during demonstrations against police brutality the protest started more than a week ago. the world health organization has said africa is at a pivotal moment in its pandemic response in the past month there's been

a must also really who is the daughter of angered bergman and a former muse to david lynch has for years been dressing up as all kinds of animals reenacting their unique reproductive practices now she's launching a theater show live streamed from her very own farm. responding to. isabella rossellini is part actress part scientist for her short film series green porno she puts to use her master's degree in animal behavior creating a very intimate look at reproduction from the perspective of the birds and the bees and even worms. and. i need to mate with another red. in the 69 position here on the russell ynys green pornos are the basis for her 1st online performance

combining those videos with a live stream of her and her chickens sheep and dogs at her farm outside new york the show which launches friday is called sex and consequences good place for 9 months. earlier i got to talk to isabella rossellini i asked her about the show's name your show is called sex and consequences i think the sex part is pretty clear what are the consequences but i bet the sex part is not very clear for you because i'm talking also about animals that mate are in my fridge diets animal that have a sexual reproduction. the consequences i'm going to gave you a surprise answer about the consequences of sex if you mate generation after generation and a species is dead you sky and that's pieces will become come out or with patches think of dogs ancestor is the wolf but once stood wolf was domesticated dogs at

patches so have cars so have goats so have cats so there are consequences that are unexpected if you see. kind more cooperative individuals mate and i bet you didn't know that you just thought of the consequences pregnant not not pregnant we talk about that too you've been in rehearsals for a while now with your dogs your chickens your sheep were severe animals a talented the dog of course is training for the circus so he's the most to beat and where is she now there's one other dog here is not so beat yet the hardest one to sheep because you have began a mole and the other day they just broke into my house i go outside to. act with me in my porch but somehow the door was ajar and they just charge into the house and this is my house where you are which i'm using it as a studio it's

a barn that i converted into my house in all of your work about sexuality and the animal world do you think there's anything that animals get rights when it comes to sex that humans don't. well you know i don't know what i was thinking i was talking about it to another professor who she's dirname is diana reese and she studied dolphins and all of us have very amber estates swim together they stroke each other recent same sex sex so we were wondering if our culture we imposed on sex. only due to the goal of reproduction because and then we say oh then something strange happens with intelligence and we get all this complication rhotic things will become gay or you know i don't know you can you know i want to change sex but this is all happening

in nature dolphins who are very telegenic they have a brain bigger than ours and they are considered a master most conative animal but also they have a sexuality that is not just use for reproduction as it has been for us also it's used for bonding for understanding each other to create. alliances so sometimes i would call sure as skewed perception of sex you're speaking about evolution a moment ago what do you think if you have learned the most out of this here and what we have your evolved from us through your time at home and lock down and during this online show with your animals. well i think i'm very resilient you know i think receiving evolution in technology. in front of our eyes just even you and i doing this interview. i think we do coke 19 and the problem d.s. created has speed up the process of finding different ways of being together and

communicate and this has been my problem i mean well the theaters are close in america and i think they're going to stay close for another year if not longer and how do you reconnect with your audience how do you keep that rating store is so i still get a lot of businessmen were you using zoom so i'm going to do a live show. it's not perfectly technologically perfect but if you think about the origin of cinema it was a silent movie and it was a big audience it was black and white and still had an audience that it isn't a technology that yes of course you want stylish beautiful things but it isn't the essence deathy essence is what you have to say and as a bell or also we had lots more to say about sex evolution and why she isn't voting for donald trump you can read more of that interview at d w dot com slash culture now here's

a question are men manly even when they dream this photo of sleeping israeli soldiers as part of a new exhibition here in berlin that brings together 50 artists it's called masculinity is liberation through photography as a whole right went to check it out. masculinities makes a man a man. according to a line of potter the curator of masculinities legend it is the ultimate it isn't an essential list were not born to be a particular way but we didn't come to the particular way and. explore how much concealed the representation of masculinity has become a code it is actually constructed and performed very specifically through the

medium of film and photography from the sixty's and through to the present day a massive undertaking. to put the spotlight on and examining what is seen as normal it's also to tell an untold story the 1st chapter disrupting the archetype breaks down the high can mask and finds it rife with contradictions like thomas george x. found and painted studio photographs of young taliban fighters. the young men of color full of got may come pawn that they're holding flower was or other things are holding hands and if that weren't for the occasional a k 47 in the picture you might think you were looking at afghanistan's gay culture a mishmash of semiotics and not the images of hyper masculine military men you might expect that skill in it uses plenty of humor to dissect it subjects like how fish is gay semiotics or try see moffat's have been sneaking shots of young men

getting changed at bondi beach in australia. to murder is very much present throughout the say they want men to come to the shows going to come out so close to the idea was to really kind of in a way is that the title says liberation. and in a way there is a sense of fun tethering them an allowance can fulfill their own personal emancipation they don't need to be a stranger to do it here to these very kind of rigid ways of what it means to be a man. the exhibition gives plenty of room to groups previously sidelined by the mainstream. like photographer sunil gupta. but for me it's mean it's. really just the visual representation of the day because photography is such a representative the review of. my life i've never seen you know images that are about. what's happening to me. this is the story of

a gay indian migrant his work beautifully documents many of recent history's most important periods of a struggle and liberation. from school energies a journey through the meanings of modern man this. was a whole right back from that exhibition masculinities melissa what were the highlights for you yes some of the highlights for me were to do with family the subject of family one of them was called my mother's cupboards and my father's words they were by anna fox and what kind of folks does is she took images of these cupboards filled with household items and she juxtaposed them with her father's violent rantings so we have the collection of the items in the collection of the violent words it was very nice another thing that i really liked as well was richard billing her and raise a laugh 30 years ago he turned the camera on his alcoholic father ray and his

violent mother liz and took these tragic comic or full or very rough images of his family but i think the criticism is not so much on raw . a or on his mother on the on the why the society there's a lot of tenderness there they're also going to be making a film out of it a feature film called liz and ray this exhibition has gotten some criticism what can you tell us about that well the criticism well the exhibition tries to cover half the world's population and 60 here is a film and photography so not everybody is going to be happy some of the criticism surrounds the use of stereotypes and clichés that men are just put into categories based on their body tie 6 well a t. and that there are no ordinary men to be seen or nothing of it isn't is that the

men are working in the images except these activists who are playing nazis well i guess that's work too isn't acting it is but it's a fantastic exhibition 300 images absolutely definitely worth a look even if you don't go 100 percent with the politics behind behind all this all right thanks so much for checking out that exhibition of masculinity and for us maybe we won't look at someone called femininity. now earlier this week mexico's president. lopez obrador gave his wife what he called an almost impossible mission trying to convince austria to return a 3rd their head dress believed to have been worn by the aztec emperor montezuma the 2nd but now the museum housing the artifact says it's too fragile to be moved pretty hispanic relic is made of hundreds of feathers as well as more than a 1000 small gold plates the ethanol was equal museum says that moving the more

than 500 year old item even within the building would risk irreparable damage mexico has been calling for its return for decades. well that's it for this edition of a. arts and culture from the whole team here and bird when thanks for watching have a great weekend.

eco africa. baby blue for uganda is not in. the primates have taken advantage of the peace and quiet of the current virus lock down to produce a particularly large number of offspring residents in the neighboring villages are thrilled the hope that these were animals will soon attract new tourists again the code for go to. the minutes on d. w. . and you hear me know yes yes we're going to need you and how the last 2 years germans are so that when you bring you i'm going to a man called and you've never heard her before surprised yourself with what is possible who is magical really what moves them what somebody who talks to people who followed her along the way admirers and critics alike how is the world's most

powerful woman shaping her legacy joining us from echols lost on. humans love it or. actually sometimes you don't have a. provider that's great they're going to replace people in manufacturing they're going to replace doctors and lawyers they're going to replace people in jobs you wouldn't think but if all the work is being done by machines what are humans through the day trying to keep getting better and better and take more and more advanced jobs or do they end up doing other things making art having social interactions with each other are we going to have enough humanity to make it possible for everyone or some people want to say i want everything. to be poor and die that allows individuals to discover their humanity they have to learn a new meaning for life and there are things to do that's a social revolution and hopefully we can move through slowly.

this is news ally from a fatal stabbing in a paris suburb of france's antiterrorism prosecutor investigate police shoot a suspect and say the victim was a teacher who had shown caricature. in class also coming up prime minister boris johnson warns of. a no deal break with the european union johnson says the

e.u. is refusing to give britain a trade agreement like the one it has with canada insists it will be no deal unless there is a quote fundamental change of position. and the u.s. presidential candidates square off from the. very different. welcome to the program police in france are treating the fatal stabbing of a man. as. officer shot dead the alleged assailant they were called to one of the. school witnesses reported hearing the. phrase meaning. been

associated with. the we'll bring you more as soon as we get. to the u.k. where british prime minister boris johnson ease warning that the u.k. must. a lesser there is a quote fundamental change of position from the european union the e.u. won't give britain a trade deal like the one it has with canada which the u.k. wants as well e.u. leaders have dismissed johnson's statement as. we. all have to. come. already. and given that they have refused to negotiate seriously for much of the last few months and given

that this summit appears explicitly to rule out a kind of the style deal i concluded that we should get ready for january the 1st with a range moves that are more like australia's based on simple principles of global free trade britain's prime minister boris johnson there let's take this to our correspondents in london and brussels and alexander the nominee burgard there are now reports that britain has told chief e.u. negotiator michel bunyan not to come on monday what does this mean for hopes of striking a deal it's really difficult to say at this point it seems that the u.k.'s position is a little bit ambivalent feel to know that there will be talks but not just past the talks we just had the e.u. spokes person saying that there will be talks to discuss that the talks

a britain hasn't yet really slammed the door to wants to european union. there is speculation that this could be just more posturing of the ultimate pressure that they want to put on the european union boris johnson had always maintained that in order to get a good deal that has to be a close possibility that he would who out and that britain would really be happy with out india that he has always maintained that that he would be prepared to work out he always criticised to reason may that she wasn't tough enough and that she wasn't believable that she would also only sell that that she would ever walk out so this could be his also metaxa to say well i'm i'm ready to abandon this but he has not done that quite yet and i think this is really important i want to get alexander in here for a moment alexander all e.u. leaders met in brussels today do they believe a deal can still be done. well they say they do they say that they are determined

and united to continue the talks chief negotiator even told us that he would like to intensify the negotiation to make an agreement possible the leaders here in brussels made also clear that they want a deal but not at any price german chancellor angela merkel said that striking a deal is the best option for everyone but if that's not going to happen then you opinion union would have to plan for alternatives and french president was even more outspoken he said that making boris johnson happy is not the job of so over and leaders of the 27 member states that chose to stay within their view of p. and union and that. is still one that needs the european single market. also said that it's. that it's more of the pend

and of the on the european union that the european union on the case you know we want to deal but not at any price boris johnson's spokesman that talks are over unless you shift its position i wonder if this is another tactic to increase pressure. well we'll have to see how this plays out over the weekend and what form day talks are going to continue next week there has been quite some optimism as. a deal can somehow be struck underfeeding that the talks have moved forward of late this is really important because 1st johnson had always said that it's very easy to strike trade with the european union he said it was often ready and now it's clear it's actually not that easy he promised something that now you know he caught he called however he knows that

a lot is at stake and that the u.k. economy would suffer enormously if there was no deal and if there was disruption on the on the buddhist more than there would be anyway even with the slim the there would be some disruption that the borders but if there was no deal it would be much graver the economic consequences could be devastating for the u.k. staying with you boys johnson is also facing a growing coronavirus pandemic obviously he issued a very stark warning today if tougher restrictions are or not implemented take a listen to what he had to say no one wants to have to implement these measures which damage local businesses could tail individual freedom and impose significant strains on people's mental health but these decisions were necessary because of the rate of increase not just of infections but also in hospitalized patients and

admissions to intensive care we don't actually there is no doubt that our elite chess would soon be struggling to treat the sheer number of people seriously do we could spending a picture of gloom and doom a little bit their burger just fell dire are things in britain and what's the outlook. we've had new government figures out and there's an estimate that almost 30000 people daily infected and that's just in england we know that there are hotspots in the know the finland where doctors are really fearing that hospitals could very soon not cope anymore and we know that for example in northern ireland there are reports that already the hospitals are overwhelmed and that elective procedures had to be concert and postponed and the government just wants to stop the n.h.s. the health system from being completely overwhelmed there's

a lot of discussion at the moment in the u.k. how far the government needs to go bust just has now decided for now to not close down the country completely not complete lockdown sakya break as many experts where we're saying is needed but to do it in tears and to do it region by region but it doesn't mean that it's going to stay that way and we have to watch this space and see if there is another national looked at adding any time soon as if great britain had no already seen enough of this virus correspondents burgard marson alexander von naaman thank you so much. returning to our top story now police in france are treating the fatal stabbing of a man near paris as a terror attack officer shot dead the alleged assailant they were called to one of the french capital's western suburbs after being tipped off about suspicious

activity near a school witnesses reported hearing the attacker shout. again an arabic phrase meaning god is great but has often been used during acts of terror police shot the man after apparently spotting him wielding a knife near the scene of the attack. correspondent elizabeth is on the scene there for us french terrorism officials or investigating the attack of course i take it that confirms that police are certain this was indeed an act of terror. yes and that's partly because suddenly the victim was a history teacher who show the omaha medical student 3 published recently by show he had no role in class and it's likely that this incensed some of the one of the pupils we don't know whether the assailant was himself a pupil of just a friend but he was the d.p. the professor was attacked and killed and decapitated by somebody who thought was

outraged and sort of cartoons might be shown again to the dockyard least which is the authorities specifically have been given the best again to magistrate specialize in jurors and were immediately put on the case and they're now. investigating to see whether he acted alone but not this was preplanned whether this was spur of the moment. and elizabeth you've given like nessa bit there but is there anything more you that we need to know about the victim. the victim is a professor in a local public school a state school i don't know much more at this moment because 1st when this happened . the family did not know yet. information will be released as as the now the family knows but information will be released by the picture look at least as these things going on fair enough to tell us more about the area where the attack happened and whether at all that you know informative. the yes the

area is called falsetto in 12 also totally it is a suburb of paris it's about 20 miles out of paris it's was years for decades a working class suburb and it has groomed muslim community groups to which is completely peaceful but it has the kind of problems that you have in those areas which is that. too many young people who do not find jobs and therefore stay around and what president michel has recently call carrot is terry you have small clusters of people who want to live. in sort of normal normal french way but in crazy get to they stay together to speak arabic and they go to one specific mosque is of course he had a mosque in the area and elizabeth i'm sure you are all too aware that this has happened a month after a man attacked and wounded 2 people near the offices of the satirical magazine.

does that concern the french or for reasons in particular. owing to the fear that you know we've had terrorism in france for 4050 years almost started in the in the 2nd we've had it in the eighty's and it was a radiance it was libyans it was various things they're horrible things that we but we have learned to live with and i think there's also a movement in france so political cartoons and farcical to this trick and the shiny object thing brings the country together even though we have been fairly divided on other things it brings the you position and the majority together that's something on which people say no this is what this is where the line is drawn we do not accept that there should be you know murders are justified because people drew to draw it. so to some extent it's bringing the french together more than it's dividing. and elizabeth mood today on top of this breaking news story for us much

a suspension for its debt repayments. and they may be doing it from london but will meet the entrepreneurs whose invention is bringing power to parts of africa. this is deja vu business on robots in berlin welcome to the program e.u. leaders have spent the past 2 days discussing the block's relationships with the rest of the world they don't appear any closer to reaching a deal with the u.k. over brics it but a day of discussions on africa proved more optimistic european council president show me show says there's enormous potential for cooperation he used trying to establish a broad based investment program with its african partners also on the agenda debt relief efforts given the massive impact of coronavirus on developing economies. let's bring in our senior european correspondent in brussels barbara vai's all

barbara how important is the relationship with african countries for the leaders of the moment it is the theoretically very important because we have to remember 2020 was supposed to be africa year but that of course disappeared a bit off the agenda as freule covert everybody talks about covert day in day out because the emergency is so dire but that also holds true for african countries and that was something that the german chancellor angela merkel. acknowledged today when she talked about that the e.u. need to do more to help african countries in this crisis is aid by upgrading the health systems v of course there are attempts underway to help africa get. their hands on enough vex in as soon as they come on to the market and all this is already relatively well planned and then as you mentioned of course they're the investment programs the european union once

a step up the economic cooperation and the ministers of the member states are supposed to offer programs till the end of november they are supposed to now put something on the table in concrete because there's going to be at least in many e.u. african summit it's the end of december when the european leaders met meet next to talk about their own problems so there will be a meeting and there will be some hopefully more concrete promises and pro ject then we see at the moment. this has also been a big topic of discussion of course the brits were pretty irritated when the you said yesterday that it was up to the brits to budge on the brakes deal what have they been saying in the u.k. . this route obviously is the time for finger pointing i mean the negotiations are drawing to a close there are maybe 23 or maximum 4 weeks left to get to a deal so the british side said in very strident tone it's all the fault of the
