and. if you would like any information on the ground or any other science topic you should really check out our podcast. your podcast you can also find us and. science. news africa coming up on the program. change on africa why is the continent's the most fun and how can we better handle it and you report to give sometimes is also coming up. the weekend of looting in nigeria a judicial panel in lagos has convened to look into allegations of police brutality .

and you are welcome to the program in europe africa is being hits hard by climate change but the worst could be yet to come if action is not taking the world much or a logical the continent was impacted by your number of extreme weather events in 2019 including cycle and you die one of the worst tropical storms on record. also suffer droughts rising temperatures. it's just one of the main drivers on the continent devastation and the number of recommendations to try to read the worst. director of the global framework for climate services with the world but your logic zation. why such a report what's important now. this report is particularly important now

because africa faces it can challenge is in addressing climate variability and climate change risks including for example increased temperatures into that will again in patterns of precipitation but also the occurrence of extreme weather and climate events which have significant impacts on climate sensitive sectors such as agriculture or. risk reduction so in other terms which have their significant impacts on the overall social economic development of africa. africa is a continent which is mostly dependent on our culture which. employs more than 60 percent of of the population and it's through a culture that most people get there their livelihoods maybe a.v.m. of rains and therefore significant impacts on the current and so it is critically

important that africa intends to adapt to climate variability intends to adapt to climate change africa has actually and uses the best available science coming from the court at least so sources but at some time in africa. and the ability of. building new term capacity in order to increase climate term climate really. so this ought let's let's that's how my a bit more on a impact because that's what ordinary africans care about is what if your reports by at least on the major impacts of climate change well it starts we'd like to go back a little bit to 2019. where we had more than became tempted by a truck or sight read which was considered to be one of the most term destructive

tropical cyclones ever recorded in the south in the sphere it caused the death of more than 700 people widespread displacement and the city was totally paralyzed cervus see this and all the activities where they're totally disrupted. amental atr the same country mozambique before the impact of that record cycle in kenya which was even stronger and protocols cyclon them into and so if these it's the pattern is that as we move into the future we could expect more damage and therefore the need of. the continent to get organized when we look at the data it is in a critical africa has been warming says 1901 the continent as warmed by more than 1 point one degree celsius relatives the pre industrial

period the 21000 was the warmest ever recorded in the continent after 2010 and 26005 the a period 20152019 for each of those years and it was warmer than any prior 2014. and when we look at the decade 20102019 these were the warmest decade on record in africa and one particular point about the could the k. the warming the fact that it could akkad has been consistently warmer and the previous decade and with those that warming you have. the increase in heatwaves but also in increase in in then in other dryness ok so we always don't want to spell dry fall for author turns the more in forward what lessons can africans learn from the reports to better manage the situation. the

lesson is. draw city early from the case of mozambique troll africa to be able to deal effectively with the climate extremes they have to face to for use effective risk knowledge we have to understand the behavior or set off the hazards and their forward looking trends they have to improve early warning system capability and actually observations by announcing forecasting capability they have to improve communication over actionable warnings which are understandable by those who have to take the treatment. they have to put in place a massive education campaign where people understand the risk they should get to the end or stand what is it that they need to do in order to. take action in over 40 but most important most importantly as

a coach and disaster in africa cannot be dealt with independently they have to be dealt with with an integral approach integrated approach. was that felipe alou c.e.o. of the wellness or a logical organization now to nigeria where the judiciary inquiry has been set up to look into police brutality as well as the killing of peaceful demonstrators in lagos last week independent investigations into police abuses what he called the amount of the protest as food in the streets at nationwide for more than 2 weeks peaceful protest against nigeria's special until robbery spark and violence last tuesday when witnesses and human rights groups said soldiers opened fire on protesters killing at least 12 the army denies its troops well that in a following the new test ransacked a government warehouses and authorities struggled to halt the rest.

from on as our correspondents find if assad joins us from lagos nigeria and funny it's good to see you now the judicial panel begins the our way today what can we expect from the. that's the question everyone is asking here what is to expect from this judicial panel that is currently sitting at the latest score trying to bring some light they promise into what happened here behind me at select he told gates that horrendous night on tuesday almost a week ago you know it comes to delayed a state's governor he says everybody should file their claims whatever they have seen what ever they a witness to this panel but that of course sells like more courage to a lot of people who witnessed it or who are supporting the so called and source protest because began to bring an end to police brutality because they say the governor himself sad after the night when this happened that the forces who did this i'll be your and his control now if the forces are beyond his control what

really is to expect from this panel other than a farce other than a basically a form of a piece meant that yes the governor here is trying to do something is trying to investigate but then again what about the results and yes that's the big question what is to come out of this judicial panel now the judicial power now and now do you have it about is that enough to pacify the protesters. for lego stand it is a peaceful day today yes but when it comes to pacifying people pacifying supporters of these demonstrations i have to say no you just have to look at social media the anger out there that these broiling the the store also that they're expressing about what happened here at the lack of toll gate in the heart of the legacy of the commercial capital off nigeria when you look at that then no there is no way off the supporters of stepping back home plate the what they're doing right now is really organizing basically in trying to co-opt in that idea to either take to the

streets maybe again with some other channel politically their demands and be ready even for the elections in 2023 and even though they do not expect much to come out from this judicial panel. this still try to put up the pressure on social media and say come on the state government governor come on mr president just admit what happened on that night that the military killed innocent people that they killed peaceful protesters here on tuesday night now they are mostly considered. vultures are very important in maintaining healthy systems don't be surprised it you know because by consuming garbage and rotting out of mole corpses they can keep the environment clean but unfortunately something is going on wrong conservationists say they are among the most vulnerable of africa's large ferrets and it's only getting worse after a state of things in kenya. a week of vultures feasting on what may be their

last meal that's because increasing numbers caucus is least with poison laid out by farmers to punish predators the biggest threat to walters is poisoning and that is generally not targeted at the vultures it's actually targeted at carnivores mostly lions. leopards as well because the carnivores are actually occasionally killing livestock god is part of the peregrine fund a u.s. based conservation group raising awareness about the scavengers plight as well as encouraging how to predator proof their farms the group is training rangers on how to gather evidence of poisonings. with these heightened vigilance. we stand a better chance to on solving because then we get on what is reported on that we also know someone is knocking out what's happening monitors see if the scarf of

wildlife poisonings continues unabated the barge won't be soaring for much longer. so when you get multiple poisoning incident as we have where you're losing even just you know 102030 birds at it at an incident you know you're talking many generations many years before you're going to get those birds back action cannot come soon enough for the finally system here and for nature's cleanup ex-pats. the morale of the story let's all protect our court system the best of the cap that's it for now be sure to check out our stories on d.w. dot com slash africa or you can go check out our facebook and twitter pages until the next time it's bye for now.

screen. and in our series 100 german nostri to get ready for an assault on the senses as we feature patrick best selling novel of murder and sensual obsession perfume. welcome to arts and culture it was fun beethoven has been hailed as the man who freed music and there are few composers whose work has been so universally celebrated all now a new project underscores his cosmopolitan qualities with international artists joining a global exploration of how beethoven's music can transcend the most profane of obstacles. some of the singers might have difficulties with the german text but the melody of beethoven's famous ode to joy is perfect the ensemble siren's instruments down bowl

one of 6 women squires that cathy milliken has been working with for the past year the choirs of from remain in. serbia bulgaria cyprus and turkey firstly i went to each choir in each city and we had workshops and there i got to know the choirs i got to know how they sing i got to know how they function i got to know how they make decisions and that was incredibly important to me you know how they sort of manage their feelings of joy and how they translate them into song. collective search for and. in each country the singers develop songs with it and sounds and texts in february they met up in istanbul and sang each of the songs the $36.00 women are from different cultural backgrounds but they mostly agreed on the question of what joy means to them. the family and love and unity and certainly it was the choir that said will you know the luxury of time is for us amazing

because we are just so busy and another choir said it's actually luxury to be sitting here talking because we're not used to actually pulling together we used to from another political system to be. sort of much more isolated. the. the same a fire care the head of the guta institute in istanbul took on the job of organizing the choir summit there was some cultural barriers to overcome this was. the to call it was very moving to see the choir from bosnia and the choir from serbia singing to one another many will move to tears because many of the songs are

basically the same and that's very bonding and for the choir from cyprus it was hard travelling to istanbul it was emotionally challenging but the ice was broken very quickly here. the results of this musical journey of discovery were presented to the public for the 1st time in an installation in berlin that was supposed to be live singing but the coronavirus pandemic put a stop to that a huge disappointment the old for all still plans to go on tour to all 6 countries whenever that may be possible. and ode for all and i'm joined by my colleague adrian kennedy from our culture desk later and that's one beethoven year event that has managed to take place albeit a little differently than expected tell us what else is happening well as you say a lot of events have been canceled or hopefully i can just say. the good news is that the celebrations have been extended now until september 2021 the organizers

have announced that most vents will go ahead within this new time frame and as we heard the 6 choirs hope to go. soon as the situation. allowance let's hope that that is sooner and later than later now obviously in the meantime t w hasn't flagged in its celebration efforts and has launched not one but 3 major documentaries one of which also dealt with this ode to joy in beethoven going around the world this is a beethoven's 9th symphony for the world it looks at why the 9th is so popular around the world and how it is perceived one story it tells is the japanese premiere of to joy which actually took place during world war one sung by german troops in an internment camp. but from tiny cons to mighty oaks every year now around $10000.00 japanese choir singers come together in osaka to pay homage to

plato. amazing stuff now the full documentary of course can be seen on d w classic music classical music you tube channel but just quickly tell us our because the viewers can also get involved themselves in the beethoven year tell us how google and culture and the beethoven year organizers are asking people to get involved to make videos that inspire joy as a sign of global solidarity and hope you don't need to play any music just use the global ode to joy hash turk upload your video to you tube the selection will be will make it onto an official playlist and just ahead of beethoven's birthday in december a final video will be current of all the best moments for a special musical version of. hopefully beethoven will appreciate all the efforts despite the coronavirus and hopefully this stimulates a great amount of creative joy adrian kennedy thanks very much for bringing us that

update on the beethoven year and can go in. we've stopped counting the number of times that jaws have collectively dropped over the antics of the current us president and as a bona fide reality t.v. star donald trump's hold on the public imagination is certainly larger than life on american t.v. and cinema have a long tradition of portraying its highest office kevin spacey chilling turn in house of cards of course is just one example because tonight in moscow the president in t.v. and the movies the american president can be anything you can be an action hero. the family kitchen you can be an ordinary guy gathered together. he can even be a sheetz there is that donovan new era when that happens and i. wrote the movie presidents have reflected our hopes and expectations for the real resident of the white house as well as our greatest nightmare. this american

carnage stops right here and stops right now. the regional model for the saintly larger than life hollywood president was walter houston in d.w. griffith abraham lincoln for the people. not heard it from there. he said they. always presidents are the. born in the public imagination presidents from lincoln all the way down to john f. kennedy were statesman fighting for the good of their country. one the 1st then came nixon and watergate to any major. without fear of a hostile demonstration there it won't be lost confidence in their president they also feel that. nixon's on screen legacy can be seen in everything from jack

nicholson smarmy president and mars attacks the conniving kevin spacey in house of cards in the end i don't care whether you love me or you hate me just as long as i win. it took a hollywood actor we store america's face in its commander in chief. after ronald reagan movie presidents became action stars and the. morning. in the $99.00 deal that the president will be a superman. we celebrate. and it's. your to actually t.v. has done a better job of depicting presidents who get politics martin sheen in the west wing was more popular than either of the real candidates for the 2004 election some argue dennis haysbert is black president and 24 pave the way for barack obama so far however fictional female presidents have not inspired americans elect

a woman to the white house. thank you thank you thank you for economy of comedians to trump impressions but there's never been a film character anything like the current u.s. president perhaps trump as a reality t.v. star prepared america for his own reality t.v. presidency which in turn could inspire trump like presence on screen really to create the sort of. all. movies. presidents who are unscrupulous. only interested. nor is. the you soon to be. in government. but i don't know. thank you perhaps when it comes to donald trump truth really is stranger than fiction. well on now to

the but. thanks. this is you don't reduce the life from berlin lock it down like to germany lost a few restrictions to tackle covert 98 with infectious soaring shells uncle americal is considering fresh action to slow the spread of the virus will find out just what restrictions germans could soon be facing also coming up the latest truce between armenia and azerbaijan crumbles as each side blames the other for breaking a new cease fire there's been no let up the fighting disputed nuclear no kind of which.

was. only lock think you so much for your company everyone we began this broadcast with the worsening co-written $1000.00 crisis germany has recently seen record rises a new infections and shots on america is warning that without additional restrictions the number of daily cases could top 30000 on wednesday chancellor merkel and the leaders of germany's 16 states will the side just what measures they will have to implement. german officials are worried about the latest numbers coming from the country's public health institute daily infections have reached new highs and there are more than 250 hotspots nationwide in germany last weekend also exceeded the grim milestone of $10000.00 coronavirus deaths now these numbers have led chancellor merkel's conservative c.d.u. party to postpone

a pivotal party conference the goal of the conference which was supposed to be held at the beginning of december was to appoint a new party leader who would then be in the running to become the conservative chancellor candidate in the 2021 election while her party debates the future the chancellor has continued to focus on the pandemic she has repeatedly told citizens to stay at home whenever possible and she did so again at the weekend. the isn't the market rules we are not powerless against a virus our behavior decided to the extent to which in the speed at which the virus spreads and the order of the day for all of us is to reduce contacts and meet far fewer people you mentioned of. german officials recently announced new measures against the virus they include limiting private gatherings and wearing face masks on busy streets it's really a safe place for me it's obvious with the high numbers we have i myself had coronavirus and i know what i'm talking about we all have to protect each other now

. we must ask does not stop air assaults you can talk about wearing them indoors but outside it's total rubbish. both on the streets and among politicians there is a growing debate about germany's course of action as the country grapples with a serious 2nd wave of the coronavirus pandemic. let's bring in our political correspondent and i shall as am of the chancellor we heard there in that report urging people to stay home over the weekend what are you hearing will the government have to take more restrictive measures or are the restrictions currently in place in the us. well we just found today according to germany's biggest tabloid there that angle america was planning a love done lie to tackle virus pandemic was new measures being implemented when we would be talking about german shelves that could remain open between sets and rest fictions and such a plan and also germany following italy's example would are so close it's because

it's restaurants so really even more restrictions imposed on night live it's quite telling that i got america will meet again with a 16 state premiers this wednesday as that wasn't planned it really shows how the situation has worsened and quite quicker than everybody expected there the meanest says the state premiers so we had agreed on measures such as our restrictions in the hospitality business for example rest reactions on the amount of people able to gather but we've also seen more lockdowns localized lockdowns in bavaria for example 2 scenes last week and something that i'm going to america wanted to avoid at all costs was a generalized lockdown but it seems that we heading that way right and from what i understand from your reporting these new restrictions seem to be designed to limit social interactions between people is that where we've seen the rise in infections

in germany. well i'm going to america last time and again to people to limit their interactions to the media contacts to avoid unnecessary travel and necessary family gatherings and in fact germany had had a pretty good handle of the pandemic until now but now the fact is that cases have the most doubled within the week and the wary here in germany is that the wrong be possible anymore to train used to chain of infections and to contain it to where we ease that loss of control of those infections and of course. where we've got photos with the how hospitals we cope with cope with patients that's will come in we're not there yet but the main where we would be that this situation could get out of hand that is of course what everybody is worried about emma how will people in germany were yannick to more we actions being introduced. well i think there's a growing sense of 50 government certainty here desire so people who present only a fringe of german population who don't support the restrictions yesterday in

berlin car enough skeptics gathers there were gathered there were around 2000 they were practicing industries but they also held fire bombs so they'll have a car institute which see which is the institute in charge of the handing of the pandemic so they are a minority and the majority of the population these abiding by the rules with social they stand seeing wearing masks but there's a notable fatigue among the population being felt and everybody braces for a long and a nonesuch and winter here in russia is reporting thank you. well as i know about some of the other stories making news around the world workers and students have joined nationwide strikes called by the opposition in belarus they walked out after hardline a leader alexander lukashenko ignored a deadline set for him to step down the action targeted state run factories. british police have arrested 7 men suspected of trying to hijack an oil tanker in

the english channel special forces were called in when the ship began moving erratic late the captain says the men thought to be stowaways from nigeria turned violent the latest attempt to end the fighting between armenia and azerbaijan appears to have failed the 2 sides have accused each other of violating a new cease fire minutes after it came into effect or the truce was the 3rd attempt to end the conflict over the disputed nagorno-karabakh region fighting flared up again in the mountainous enclave 4 weeks ago. and our correspondent julieann has been finding out more about the civilian toll of the conflict she felt the 6 report from the town of barga in azerbaijan some 20 kilometers from the front line. is going to fire the live shows as we used to live until very recently.

and see a rocket take his house in early october he says. so. called the gulf coast off the shore dug. his home for 35 years burnt down to the walls i walked over to the whole family was sitting here watching t.v. and suddenly there was an explosion in the backyard everything started burning we ran outside and called the firefighters but when they arrived it was already too late for me. and memories. want to go far as early as is convinced that our 1000000 is responsible for the attack the neighboring country deliberately bombed many civilian targets in the area he says i we can't independently verify this we are not

allowed to move freely near the front line we are only allowed to film with the as of a john eales or a tease let us film i thank this school in bardolph for example even if it looks like it the children here are not students. they are refugees this has been in emergency shelters since the fighting started a month ago i thank. god right at the end friends a memorial for a fallen by johnny soldier everyone here is convinced that their army is fighting for a just cause the school vice principal doesn't believe that their votes have been attacks on armenian civilians. and then left that often then. i don't know much about what's happening on the armenian side i only know what i see on t.v. here but i can say that the armenians are losing and must retreat so they don't

have any other options we are not true. lying to take armenian territory we are fighting for what belongs to us tender. has been at the school for a few weeks now with his wife and 3 granddaughters there from tower tower right on the border with no go nuclear about lately the clashes there have intensified. better going to war i'm worried about the girls they're just kids they were so scared of the fighting how are they supposed to know what explosions are they should go to school and study but they shouldn't have to learn would bombs and missiles sound like or do that boom in that. at the moment the children see for a few days about 20 kilometers from the frontline but nobody knows when they will

be able to return home there it will soon become too dangerous here tonight. well in many muslim majority countries french maid products are being pulled from supermarket shelves after regional trade associations and now a boycott the move comes in response to french presence in merrimack calls a recent statements describing islam as a religion in crisis many ordinary people have taken to twitter to express their support for the boycott and turkish sheer presence wretched tired air to watch as also called us citizens of his country to support the boycott to give us some good but also i call on my nation here and now do not pay attention to french label goods do not buy so it's only a straight into turkish president there on the set by g.w. reporter nicole reese who has been following this story for us were mind our

viewers what sparked this outrage well france has been seeing a lot of tension in the country lately especially since there was the killing off a teacher who had just shown cartoons of prophet mohammed in his class to discuss. the freedom of expression and this and other incidents now have let president emanuel macor to clamp down on for example mosques and shut down one mosque he also had associations linked with these incidents and raided and dissolved and well he's also talking about the. being in the north it basically makes it possible for france to control better and also to have moms only trained in france and certified in france some of them are being trained outside of the country he wants to obviously ovoid this and now france has had a problem with homegrown radical islam for years we remember big attacks like the one in 2015 to the newspaper shall we have do but also the clip of the clown what tech dozens of people lost their lives and he's now trying to show that he's taking

care of these issues especially since they're also elections in 2022 and there is pressure from the right wing parties in his countries one issues like security and social issues being tackled and or so ready to go up in d.c. elections but this is obviously a big problem for a muslim and muslim community across the globe who are now feeling that they're being made responsible for incidents that have been. caused by minorities and also some of them are not ok with pictures of the prophet mohammed being shown it's against the believes it's not just about the backlash on social media all this but a lot of tweeting going on as a hashtag that basically says boycott france and boycott french products just to animate people to motivate people to boycott these products and arab countries and turkey many claim that micro has been pandering to the far right and they want people to take off these products from the shelf and not buy them we have one tweet from kuwait for example that says kuwait started to miss next we see empty shelves

there we also have a lot of photos circulating that basically show what brands are french so people can avoid them or bar codes like how do you know what country a product comes from by identifying the barcode so it has been going quite steep on social media this week and how because impact then we cannot really say how much of an impact it will make on sales for french products what we can say is that the several countries joining in it's people from kuwait georgia and saudi aramco. turkey and since turkish president added one has also now joint this debate of this not only a lot of heat on social media but also there's a lot of tension between him and his conference right now because i think this discussion has not ended yet ready right nicole reese thank you so much for bringing us that story create the precision. and that does it for us stick around because my colleagues nels allow is up next with your business headlines it
