11:31 pm
hello i'm told me already well 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 guinea sheep it's his 21 year old employer you brendan horner was found dead here 2 weeks ago sheep is believed he was killed by cattle thieves that's where the beauty of. the blood was yet. he watched. the. young man. that's all i can say that our culture it has taken
11:32 pm
a good 2 for them. it was a real issue put a little human 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 that 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 roads year trying to race. on.
11:33 pm
the opposition party the economic freedom fighters stage to counter protest in the center of seneca a mess of police presence kept the 2 groups of pots the black south african protesters say they want to protect public property from white farmers. we will not stand back and watch white people being treated differently from people within 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 lent 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 forts and all
11:34 pm
these things and. it's people. in this area we get along well with you know with neighbors that don't like to get on well with the workers at the back. of the dial but i could use that the job because in the last few. a lot of people. years of their lives they were very very strong about the black people. she purrs 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 p.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 i.j.n. why has this killing sparked such heated and divided emotion in south africa.
11:35 pm
on the side of the farmers man it's all me that was the tip of the iceberg because in the past months we have seen an increase in crime can't go fast attacks on the farms not heard us though but then this murder case officer young man came in and that's triggered a very emotional response that i have seen last big. also turns violence on a sign of 8 years after comic freedom fighters they try to 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 and 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 set 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 stuff that was really sad to see for me but it just white lies on the other hand to see that if you talk to people here who live here they don't see it that extreme all they want
11:36 pm

a run 4000000000 cubic meters of water. the maximum is 6300000000 cubic metres that's the reservoirs capacity. 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 canadians have been complaining for years about the lack of reliable power. shrewish it's hard to take a look there's no ice really every deed the state makes promises about electricity they say we're 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 limited periods. every day who turn on at 7 pm and turn off 1 in the morning but the messages people have to accept paying for electricity. means entire communities are
11:38 pm
plunged into darkness for long periods even though the imposing dam project is nearly ready still not clear who 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 7 percent average increase in weekly coven $1000.00 cases w.h.o. warned african countries to be vigilant or risk

11:46 pm
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 and i or my friend die it's animals that have 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 its peace is dead he's kind 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. can

masculinity is liberation through photography as a whole right went to check it out. masculinities what makes a man a man. according to a line of prada the curator of masculinity use the gender is the film which it isn't and essentially just cannot afford to be a particular way to leave and come in a particular way to and. explore how masculinity or the representation of masculinity is because it coded in such a construct of the film 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 examine what is seen as
11:52 pm
normal it's also to tell an untold story the 1st chapter disrupting the archetype breaks down the hyper masculine and finds it rife with contradictions like thomas or jack's found and painted studio photographs of young taliban fighters. young men of color full of got may come paul on it they're holding flowers or other things or holding hands and if that weren't for the occasional a k 47 in the picture you might sink 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 is used as plenty of humor to dissect it some chicks like how fish is gay semiotics or try see moffat's have been sneaky shots of young men getting changed at bondi beach in australia. from kuma is very much present throughout the say they want men to come to the show
11:53 pm
and to come out so losing 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 to have the ring with them and allowing them to can fulfill their own personal emancipation they did meet the new straight jacketed which here it is very kind of reaching way to 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 meant to. believe that there was a visual representation that it was photography 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 whose work beautifully documents many of recent histories most important periods of a struggle and liberation. from skinny jeans
11:54 pm
a journey through the meanings of modern man this. was the whole ride back from the exhibition masculinities melissa what were the highlights for you yes some of the highlights for me what 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 one of fox 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 i 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
11:55 pm
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 all this 6 well o.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 worked or isn't it acting it is but it's
11:56 pm
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 this for us maybe well we'll get to one called feminine play. now earlier this week mexico's president. has dora give his wife what he called an almost impossible mission trying to convince austria to return a feather headdress 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 ethnological museum says that moving the more than 500 year old item even within the building would risk irreparable damage mexico has
