recently for disposable smart new solutions oberstein said you know we want to use these truly unique and we know that their uniqueness is one how wows us to live and survive good why do you assume the environmental issues in global 3000 on t w and oh my. this is the end of the news africa coming up on the program all eyes on ivory coast as tensions rising tide of subsidies presidential elections president alassane ouattara is seeking a quarter of a self that time in office but it was a sin see it is elected to meet and i calling for a boycott on civil disobedience also coming out. of 19 pandemic or nazi this young jazz musician from zimbabwe is still finding a way to entertain his fans of social media and it seems to be paying off for his

musical career. the name is eddie micah welcome to the program tensions are running high head of presidential elections in ivory coast on saturday after any i decided not to run for a controversial thing that president ouattara is seeking reelection after the death of his favorite success in july the opposition say they are not having it and i calling for you boycott of the elections and civil disobedience people are longing for peace and stability but many a repeat of history about a decade ago at least 3000 people were killed and now at least 30 people have already died from communal violence our correspondents funny fresh our reports from be shot. you can see the tension but you can feel

it as ivory coast braces itself for election day obbie john the commercial capital is awash with billboards of the sitting president and a sound of what. he promised not to run for a 3rd term but then he's chosen successor died and he changed his mind. several dozen people have been killed in protest against the president since august and the opposition parties are calling for a boycott and acts of civil disobedience they say other than what the president is violating the constitution by seeking a 3rd term and they say this election is nothing more than a farce. by usual he has been at the forefront of these protests with his friends he's preparing to take to the streets hoping there is still a way to prevent the elections from taking place. raids and call on the people

outside protest peacefully because we are in a contrary where we have the right. an underground meeting since the un to what tara protests in august gathering in public has been forbidden they must hide knowledge say to organize before thora to stop their plans by it has been fighting for human rights and democracy for as long as he can remember he says setting. we do not want the selection the president has already had 2 terms of office because only permits to he must now girl on a new person most common. most activists like by have been arrested in the runup to the auctions but he wants to continue. see. if you're scared you have over the must believe by this believe we know when we

leave in the morning we are lucky if we return home in the evening. shortly after this interview we contrie his friends tell us he's been arrested the number of have nots is growing rapidly in ivory coast almost half of the population tries to cope below the poverty line yet here in the suburbs of abidjan there is still support for the current president people simply refer to as. i like the fact that with him there i speak i don't want another war i only want peace. was. a mobilized as one person thanks to the people can drive on these terrorists. and most people simply want the election to be over with violence under a kohen an observed the situation from a neutral perspective he says yet he too is concerned to meet me in his office or

at home and fear is the problem for development he says he's. going to press on i don't know how many people will agree to talk to you more and more there is a kind of mark on some every ounce that takes its toll. that intellectuals journalists people who are free like me are speaking out less and less because they are afraid but unfortunately a democracy can't be built on fear. and democracy. ivorians long for a new start and reconciliation but with the volatility there is now the country might go back to the very beginning of its unresolved problems. but if i saw sense how stop reports and now joins us hello funny so the opposition is calling for boy caught on civil disobedience how call this play out and what do

they hope to achieve. what they're hoping to achieve in haiti ever since in fact president ouattara said that he's running again for a 3rd term and hand also this august for the opposition so what they want to prevent this election from taking place and that's pretty much what they're campaigning on with actually participating in the electoral process because as we've also seen in the report they say we want to boycott the election be a calling on people on our supporters on people to express acts of civil disobedience not what could that mean acts of civil disobedience could mean you're not going to work you're staying at home but of course it could be also understood as a way of taking to the streets in any form or way and that's exactly in fact here the risk the element of risk that nobody actually really knows all the tension that's already been on the streets including clashes since august including many people injured and several dozen people have been killed in these violent clashes with the

ivorian security forces nobody really knows how that is going to ask a late fouda just ahead of the elections tomorrow and pool the elections as well. now the opposition clearly has issues with president ouattara but how much public supports does he have out there. this is really difficult to tell because simply there is no statistic just how many people are supporting president ouattara then we look at the electoral numbers when we look at the fact that around 40 percent so far have picked up their electoral college that is 40 percent of all of those people who are actually a liberal to cast a ballot tomorrow that's not a big number but then again some people don't pick up the calls because it's just too complicated it's a timely a manner that they do not want to pick it up many others again i've spoken to say they don't care about the selection because to them it's a farce and again others that you have spoken to here enough to john say they say

ok it is a controversial election but we want to make sure that president ouattara stays in the office because at least for the past 10 years there hasn't been any civil war there hasn't been any war any conflict on the scale that they have seen unfold in 200220122 previous civil war said he. know how i'm going on the hot spots of our songs yes all the possible return to the violence that killed thousands of people that was in 20102011 how likely is that. unfortunately of this point already various roadblocks have been set up here in i'll be john into commercial capital and in the political capital in the capital of ivory coast right now as we're speaking that clashes between security forces and people who are supporting the opposition parties people while trying to defend their own communities they say against the forces of ivory coast and who are saying

we want to prevent the selection from taking place so unfortunately not a question anymore about how likely violence is going to play out all likelihood is that violence takes place it is already happening addy and the question is only just how much this is going to ask the late as this election is going to take place to morrow according to president ouattara it is going to take place tomorrow hopefully things return to calm a funny facade utopia correspondent thanks for your time over 19 how seriously affected our way of life but he has been all doom and gloom to young musicians across africa or youngsters have shifted to social media a musician's have topped the trend by streaming live concerts young zimbabwean jazz musician. is making waves with his band and has now how to break through correspondents have been shown to be

a small from zimbabwe's capital harare. 22 year old. band lose this woman is a look a simple for me it's not a live audience but for the in-store chic drink get formants likes the more you keep these rolling down the peaceful face. but the musicians have determined to continue with that scene in their fans who have now become blind all over. the internet is made life easier for musicians now we knew that we were going to do it live are going to be some things that are going to be was. earlier this year the young interest loans they used. to launch with a live audience but written up with 19 restrictions. connecting with the

crowd and so forth and something that is really amazing something that is priceless so considering the name teen and then me it's not the same with the camera is there calling a good feed people cheering you on but hearing that scream and applause and something that's really amazing so. do cup. but we will priceless moments like these with anything and why brings to life. again. this concert stage in central harare would have been our live in normal times but didn't 19 had other ideas many artists have launched their kit rhea's here before what difference would she is and enjoys their live performances but for now they remain confined. online

concerts. and music. believe. me it's one of the lines raised through thoughts and opportunity like he's ignored when he stopped. people being forced to stay to home which means people are being forced to watch the social media more than before so this is a time to think you're going to get the good old learning and. that's very appealing. talking borderlines faith is what values this winter like storm can drop for now while the well would wait for the real culprit. be a music group until the late fall. that's

all we have for you on the show good bye and have a great weekend. i'm david and this is climate change sex. happiness increased books. for you. to get smarter for free books on. you know that 77 percent. are younger than thanks a lot. that's me and me and you. and you know what

it's time all of you. the 77 percent to talk about the issue. this is where you. are 77 percent this weekend on g.w. . greetings from berlin the looming lockdown for germany in november is still a hot button topic for public debate particularly with regard to its impact on the cultural scene also coming up. german composer kahn performs one of the last concerts in berlin before the coming lockdown and celebrates the high point of his career so far. and after nearly a decade of delays the new berlin brandenburg international airport is poised to

open at the weekend we sent a reporter to see if the architecture was worth the wait. but as i mentioned germany's 2nd coronavirus lawn down coming into effect this monday for the entire month of november is a blow to creative industries across the board and this means no theatre concerts movies or museums and many artists and musicians have started speaking out saying they fear for their very survival a louder than most this time around was german trumpet virtuoso till behind who posted an angry video on his facebook page an instagram site that instantly went viral planning to tour next month with a brand new album that's fresh out on friday. and i spoke to till plana earlier on today. and it's

a pleasure to welcome german trumpet virtuoso to welcome to the show till your new album on vacation was just released today congratulations on that front but of course this lockdown puts a bit of a damper on things how are your plans most immediately affected. they actually have been affected because all of the causes you know maybe with the exception of 3 concerts up in paris so that is a severe change for the entire country for the time oh yes obviously do you would you say that you agree with the basic necessity of these lockdown measures given that the alternatives could be even more damaging. i'm an artist and everything that's necessary to make sure that everything you secure right now to find out about the virus is something we all support the other question is really you know what are we talking about right now how long will this

actually less and also how are we going to survive this you know i'm going to be ok i guess you know but there's so many people right now you know in my environment in the periphery that really really suffer big time and we're trying to address this matter. has so much uncertainty there at the moment now you did go i would on a bit of a limb posting your video citing discrepancies between state aid for big business and those for the cultural creative sector were you surprised at the support that you got from the artistic community after after your posting. i was surprised yes because you know i have a decent following you know but this is ridiculous as this is because i seem to have. you know gotten a point there you know and i understand right now it's important to talk to clue titian's in the may question really use do politics understand you know how we work we're talking about a scene that hasn't been suffering before the crisis and most likely won't answer

the crisis you know so we're not a huge company you know just trying to degree billions right now right now the government has said that it has provided a 1000000000 euros in support through the 1st lock down and now it's making an offer of 75 percent of november earnings can you just tell us quickly why does that fall short for you and what do you feel needs to happen what are your demands. i think anything is welcome right now but i think the basis of no 2 to the pain that we're facing right now for. november is all the income in november 2019 you know so this is not how freelance people work you know many people maybe including me you know i haven't made any money you know and november 2008 so i think it is a good way to look at it so it's to find out you know what is the 12th you know all of the last year. that is a suggestion and. it's going to be negotiated with the government right now

to the plan are calling for more support for the cultural sector and for artists to mobilize themselves thanks very much for speaking with me and all the best in the coming weeks and months we'll speak again. thanks thanks for having me. on now to a concert that should have taken place at the end of march spots through to the spring lock down it was pushed to october 29th and that was a timely break for a 29 year old can react the german with turkish roots embodies a new artist type for the 21st century as a composer and instrumentalist who is active on social media and the master of his own label and his concert on thursday night here in berlin was like balm for the soul of his audience. just moments before the concert at the berlin philharmonic it's a definite high point in the life of the composer pianist producer and label

founder. car is the freedom to emphasize when playing music but he's also a perfectionist i want to feel a certain degree of perfectionism as long as you don't overdo it can lead to endless freedom if you take care of certain things ahead of time it makes it that much easier to just let yourself go and. his burning studio combines electronic music with works from across the centuries for the be beethoven project marking the 250th anniversary of beethoven's birth he took his inspiration directly from the great german composer. but he was also a teacher so as a teacher i think he would be on the side of helping young musicians and composers to find their own way their own path through music and this is exactly what the

beautiful is helping me to do. using his rented piano mixes electronic sounds tailored to his specific. so what i'm doing here is mainly adding the something electronic to the acoustic sound of the piano and where i'm doing this is i have the life sound coming through the microphones into my system and the effect sound is going out over here into my loudspeaker and that's the idea behind it that i can add to the acoustic and the electronic sound in the here in the concert hall and there is no amplification going on in the piano. the concert at the berlin philharmonic to yack and his own song will take a musical journey through time the selection of works seems to perfectly captured

the prevailing mood it's one of the last concerts in germany. before own venues are shut down for november. view will just keep making music i'm always composing and i don't need a concert for that i'm satisfied we just play in my shoes judio. for the music. i'm moving for knowing and hopefully you. will return to the stage before too long thank you and good to see that optimism there well still waiting for the curtain to go up is the brand new berlin brandenburg international airport and needless to say since the original opening was postponed way back in the summer of 2012 it's become a bit of a running joke that it will at the building will already be out of date by the time

it finally opens for business so let's hope that it really is for real this coming weekend because architects surely it looks like it can have at least reasonable staying power. this is it the 33000 square meters of glass for sergeant 9000 tons of steel and 160000 cubic meters of concrete that make up the main terminal of the new berlin brandenburg. the building was finished 9 years ago but technical problems including with safety systems the opening architecture critic in nicholas a burnout has come to check the building out. that they wanted to make an airport that fits into the plan for plateau of the region they also wanted to make an airport that is grounded not so dramatic in terms of its effect although it is vast . it's from the broken he falls. entering terminal one the route is clear long escalators lead to the main of.

the check in area is clearly structured steel pillar supports. a touch of traffic or modernise some of the huge glass fronts of unimpeded views of the surrounding landscape and up into the sky. the idea in the ninety's and for 20 years was completely dominated by this idea that we have to build huge funky dramatic. now architecture has gone back and. functional buildings and an airport is 1st and foremost a technical device so this means that the airport had for a time become totally outdated in terms of architecture but today seems up to date again not least due to its understated approach to architecture and space to be an . internationally renowned architects mind heart from gerken and 4 from mark

designed the airport in 1998 what do they think of their work a good 20. years later. it's not so easy to say oh now i would make it round or square or hexagonal it's not our intention to make a unique piece something unique in the world. outside knowledge of this do true sibylla best thing would be if it were called classical architecture no matter whether you are thinking of the 19th century and shinku or the 20th century and. not before. the architects have been in the business for a long time take a pope which we're now close is actually one of the early works the architectural icon to praise due to the short distances to the great and it's hexagonal shape the . answer to that we have is basically always the same but what comes out in

relation to the location in relation to the time is in relation to its perception and appearance very different. back to our architecture critic. what's his final verdict on the new but old. as a portable well today you would take completely different materials you would choose a completely different aesthetic to it but it isn't a point that remains true to its own aesthetics and the fact is. from theory to practice it's time for a balanced new ports to spread its wings and fly. along the lines of all good things come to those who wait that is a long awaited occasional i have to say our mistake i'll just a little bit that's all for this time so until we meet again don't forget about the

german president in an exclusive interview with g.w. kind about to shine meyer shares his thoughts on the nice attacks the phone. endemic politics and a lot more. on well our aco welcome we start with an update on the breaking news still coming in a major earthquake has struck turkey and greece turkey's disaster agency says at least 12 people are dead and more than 400 injured the powerful tremor struck off the a.g. and coast with the epicenter just north of the greek island of say samas while the quake has cost several buildings to collapse in the turkish resort city of izmir rescue efforts there are still ongoing. let's bring indeed every correspondent

dorian jones in istanbul dorian what is the latest from izmir. well rescue teams are now frantically searching through the rubble of this devastating earthquake is near a city to over 4000000 people has been violently shaken by one of the most powerful of course to strike turkey in recent years the city mertoun soyou said 30 at least 20 buildings have collapsed many of them are totally devastated and now rescue efforts are frantically working in the rubble to try and find anyone that is still alive the city coastal city was also struck by a mini tsunami which inundated some parts of the city. how is the search and rescue mission going. well this is really a very very difficult operation these buildings which many of them have just collapsed like a like

a pancake now involves carefully digging through the rubble now turkey does have expertise from this given the fact that this country is prone to earthquakes many of them devastating and they are now drawing on the expertise but it's a very difficult and painful process you have the dangers of an aftershock aftershock we've already had reports of a powerful aftershock of $5.00 struck nearby is near which only adds to the dangers and difficulties of the work it's painstaking dangerous work but there are continuing to work through the night and president one has said that no expense or an expertise will be spared and rescue teams are coming from across the country to help those efforts people are bracing for aftershocks so where do they find shelter for this evening and a place of safety especially during a pandemic. what indeed this really is one of the problems now this is a large population millions of people now face a prospect of of been outside of their homes even even though city even though the

buildings have been collapse there is a danger that they have may be badly damaged and could possibly fail if another aftershock. shock struck the city so they are trying to find refuge on the streets in parks along the coastline they me where and of course this will add to concerns about the spread of the pandemic oh. bother the moment i mean why are people is just to find safe shelter. all right dorian jones or who porting from istanbul saying. we turn tension that to poland now were abortion rights activists are holding their march in a week of mass demonstrations as you are about to see it these are images from warsaw moments ago heavy police presence as protesters take to the streets there angry over last week's court decision banning abortions in cases where the fetus has congenital defects that willing has left poland with now we near total ban on

abortion women there can now only legally terminate a pregnancy in cases of rape or incest or if their lives are in danger. and i want to take you now to war so to our correspondent of course as you is standing by to give us the latest live a massive street protests have been and now still what are demonstrators hoping to achieve and if that materialise. well that's a very good question actually they mostly want to see and show their their anger so for 8 days now we see purchases going to the streets using very strong language to basically tell the ruling party law and justice to leave the protesters face has announced a couple of things he wants to reach earlier this week they were very broad thor for example because she said that she wants to see human rights being implemented

in poland again she wanted to see. courts that are independent and she wanted for example the constitutional court president to lease now the course ruling last week effectively imposes a near total ban on abortion so what happens next now. the prime minister mark matters more of yes he said that he wants to see a man once being implemented to the abortion law as fast as possible and more of us clarity said before earlier this week that we need to specify when abortion is legal and when it's illegal and this was seen as kind of a way to a to a compromise so yeah we waited because the court's ruling has not been published yet it means that it's not binding yet but we'll see it probably next week when you say amendments is this the prime minister help us understand is this the prime minister wanting to rush through this new ruling or turn it into law is that what

you're saying am i understanding this correctly. except it does not have to be turned into law because just the moment it's published the ruling is published it desponding legally but at the moment we have amendments to the law it can be specified so in certain cases abortion might again become legal then the right to so there is still some wiggle room with the protests that are taking place. right now define is a government appeals for people to stay at home because obviously i mean also poland is in the middle of a covert pandemic but protesters are defining that. right basically today we had to as many new infections as never before it was small bench 21000 within a day and we see that purchasers do wear masks but obviously it's huge protests and

people are close to each other but they say that the government is provo king of those protests and it's up their fault it's the government's fault that they have to go to the streets now to services their opinion that they say express olivia courtesan reporting from warsaw poland thank you very much. and police in france have arrested a 2nd suspect over thursday's knife attack in east investigators believe the man was in contact with the assailant who killed 3 people at the city's not the silica it was the 3rd islamised attack in france in 2 months time the interior minister says the nation is being targeted for its staunch defense of free expression and secularism is warning that more militant attacks on french soil are likely. nice in mourning. for some the shock and pain of thursday's attack is difficult to bear.

well there what that's because into space makes me really sad because i'm from nice i work 50 meters down the road and it could have been my mother my aunt we're dealing with crazy people and want to impose their awful rules on us you know very well it isn't leisure. that. we need to come together to say this isn't possible we want peace but we can't continue like this this is just not acceptable . that. the 3 victims among them church worker vanstone look are the latest in an ever growing list of people murdered in islam is to tax on french soil. responded by increasing police numbers while the foreign minister sent a message to french citizens worldwide it emitted a. threat is also very serious or brought messages of hate

online can quickly turn into real violence and we've decided to take all of the necessary measures to ensure the security of our interests and our acts pots. we've given instructions to our ambassadors to reinforce security measures with the security. of french prosecutors believe the suspect is a choon izzie a national who arrived in the e.u. in september via the italian island of lampedusa his family said he never showed signs of extremism police are warning citizens to be extra vigilant these are desperate times for a country in lockdown due to the pandemic for some it's their faith whatever it may be that's getting them through. german presidents find out this time meyer

has also condemned the attack in these saying france and europe must stand up to acts of brutality in an exclusive interview with g w steinmeyer spoke about the need for tolerance the pen demick and u.s. politics were also on the agenda. many issues have been on the plate of german president. of late following the recent suspected terror attack in nice france where 3 people were killed steinmeier says his thoughts are with the victims' families but he also wants the united stance from europe after such a brutal attack and of course our thoughts are above all with the relatives who have. guns but i believe what we must do know in europe not just in france is to stand up to this act of. islamist motives behind it and in funding and you know our democratic societies above all we should not base the response of the state on

a cause determined by hate of. the arts of acceptance and mutual respect are a part of our society and so standing up to such acts of brutal violence and islam is motives is one thing but the other is to try and maintain the openness of our society that's the other challenge is the under the have. the coronavirus pandemic another issue at the top of the president's agenda germany has just approved a new partial lockdown to try to curb a record spike of cold in 1000 cases discontent with measures has also been on the rise with thousands protesting on the streets germany's president acknowledges that the restrictions are especially hard but he says their critics abrasive attitude worries him the critic of your shuffle and criticism is getting harsher and more aggressive especially when it comes from people who are spreading conspiracy theories. but the number of people who consider the restrictions to be correct or

demanding stricter measures is currently growing faster than the number of critics . they could think of in this respect it's not so much the numbers that worry me. the abrasiveness of the argument. these are also. on the upcoming elections in the us steinmeier says the decision on who the next president will be lies with the american people what he would like to see is a return to a more fruitful cooperation between the u.s. and germany as. the election in the us on the event will have a global impact and side that off towards regardless of who wins the united states will again develop the ability to have a shared idea of the future of their country and. to give us london.

and that is one thing and what is important for us as your appearance is also to understand that european project with european integration and cooperation is invested in the transatlantic relationship this is not in the case recently but i hope that a new understanding for europe will grow again. it may take weeks or even months to see whether steinmeyer his wish will be fulfilled for the u.s. with the election still the focal point and the coronavirus pandemic in full swing europe may not be a priority. and that's all for now d.w. business is up next in the meantime forget you can always get the latest news around the clock by having to our website www dot com or you can follow us on instagram and on twitter at the w news phil gail will have a world news update for you in about 30 minutes time for me rock and the entire

us for special live coverage from the u.s. election november 4th on detail. it's been a roller coaster i have the downturn and a sharp. rebound economy in germany run again and other european countries regain ground in the 3rd quarter but that ground may get to give way. also on the show last making deaded and struggling to deliver south african state power utility ask on delivers 3rd quarter results let's just say they're less than electrified. berlin's new international airport is finally opening tomorrow but with the pandemic suffocating air travel tons that is now telling its mileage trainees to

find other jobs. this is the the way of business i'm joined now the thanks for joining us fresh figures out today show that many countries in europe have bounced back sharply from a pandemic induced downturn good news yes but there is more than meets the eye germany has seen a healthy and g.d.p. growth of 8.2 percent in the 3rd quarter that's well neighboring france says its economy grew over 18 percent between july and september look at the numbers because the thing with them is that they come both after massive drops earlier in the year meaning the economies are not yet back to their pretty pandemic levels germany for one forecasts its economy will shrink by 5 and a half percent for the whole year expects its growth for the year to be negative 2 down 11 percent for all of 2020 now earlier we spoke to maria the merits is from

frugal that's a think tank in brussels she offers this analysis. well there is an interconnection between managing the disease and managing the economy so i think the priority right now is certainly to support the hospital so they can they can help at this situation they can monitor the situation in some countries belgium where i live at the situations are really saturated in the hospital so i think that that would be the number one priority now beyond not is there is the add there is other other things that we need to manage on the whole that is the schools i think that's crucial that schools remain open as they possibly can because it's going to be a surgeon inequality at the end of this month that making the schools may remaining open is absolutely crucial then after that is is indeed a kaname and the sectors that have been hits at the most if we can sustain people in employment that would be very important thing to try and protect and then of course after that there is issues of protecting you know mental health we're seeing

that mental health issues are becoming a lot more extreme in their in the out of the shutdown so we need a package of things that will sustain both the health situation as well as the economy at the same time and brutally health of our citizens. south africa's state energy firm eskom has finally presented its results for the last financial year but 3 months later the beleaguered south african power company lost over $1200000000.00 for the year and being march 31st the delay in the numbers was due to payment irregularities surrounding the construction of its new power station the new plant has contributed significantly to eskom mounting debt which it is struggling to repay public allegations of mismanagement and corruption have prompted eskom to say it is on a mission to restore trust. ellis van gelder is our south correspond a south africa correspondent excuse me and joins us now ellis to say this is

a poor showing from eskom is an understatement if there a way forward no definitely there is an understatement in new mexico management said they're very disappointed i mean the cost for a. plant you mentioned. 3 times the nizhni pass and it was also the case for another power so is that really means that escrow has a tough time now to start servicing is that ready scar. now eskom said today it will have to either increase electricity prices or get more bailouts from the government which of course would come at the expense of south african taxpayers it seems that either way the citizens are on the hook. yes they are they are because i mean did they have to find a way to get more money because they are they are the main provider of electricity in south africa and the thing is raising prices of course the people here are not

going to be happy about it so the economy is already struggling and employment is up spending power is down as well because of the grown up and then maybe as i think that will meet a lot of resistance and also bill outs will probably have to happen again not just feeling that it's taxpayers' money that's going into a black hole and that's also because there's been so much mismanagement and corruption in the nasscom you also saw the government build out south african airways is basically that corrupt airline for 6 on another $40000000.00 u.s. dollars so so def records are definitely wondering where is my money going and shouldn't it be better spent now perhaps because it has been such a black hole as he said south africa's biggest cities are preparing to source their own power so away from scottish now what would that mean for ascot. well of course it will mean it will lose revenue and very is what they need on the other hand there's a lot of municipalities that they're actually defaulting into painter and they're

usually pristine bills that's a massive problem and so many big cities like johannesburg and came to town are now looking at preparing their own energy. for example in solar energy so it's a good move into renewable energy while most of the energy that comes from the state utility ass come is coal and so yeah they are basically saying look at mainly in the west and paper i am in cape town like eskom constantly lights on we've seen a lot of power outages so we are just going to do it ourself and create also a better business environments for investors for example that want to have a bit see the end maybe if it looks if you look at our so i did i maybe maybe it's good for ask because i'm in my view when coca-cola you know don't need competition and so maybe don't start managing the company but better a wake up call for eskom after it has had so many thank you very much alison gallagher there in south africa for us thousands of businesses across the world

the training program around 700 young people are now in limbo. he says ok. first they said the program would continue in may then in september then in january next year. because the outlook is so uncertain i've run out of time we have to give up this apartment as we can't pay the rent anymore. for us this means that this chapter for us in braman where i was in flight training and my girlfriend was studying that chapter is closed for now as i've been at this germany's largest airline is on life support because of the coronavirus pandemic and had to be rescued by 9000000000 euro bailout package. at least half of the jets are still grounded. head of the love tons of flight school is stefan cannon shot he says the airline already has a surplus of 1000 pilots. in the under board is that if we got our offer and were quite open with the students about this is that the outlook

for future pilots is very very bad right now they're of 2 to the pandemic the economic situation of love tonsil is very bad every month we're losing $500000000.00 euros and it's our responsibility to tell the students this very openly and honestly with. the flight students were advised to hold their training otherwise they would owe 80000 euros after graduation without the usual job guarantee. lucas's father is speechless at how things have gone he's been a lot on suppliers' himself for 32 years it's not a court of law it's almost like coercion so you're saying if i stop sign this terminations then everything is fine. but if i really want to fulfill my dreams and this company wants a pile of money from me i don't like it's unfair. regardless lucas is determined to realize his dream job even if right now he's not sure how to do it. i wish they would say something to us like if we start training again you'll

be the ones we take or at least our test scores will be recognized and. but this guarantee has not materialized the coronavirus pandemic has dashed another set of dreams the dream of flying for these student pilots. and that's all for me and if you doubly the 15 here in berlin are want to check out www dot com slash is this our follow us on social media. for watching.
