it seems people. want to do is do they have their future. megacities the meeting to give him some clues. this is the end of the news africa coming up on the program all eyes on ivory coast as tensions rise i have some today's presidential elections president alassane ouattara is seeking a quarter of a shelf that time in office but it was a see it is elected to meet and i calling for a boy called civil disobedience also coming up. 19 pandemic or not this young musician from zimbabwe is still finding a way to entertain his fans with social media and it seems to be peeling off for

his musical career. the name is eddie micah jr welcome to the program tensions are running high head of presidential elections in ivory coast on saturday after any of the side in not to run for controversial president ouattara is seeking reelection after the death of his favorite success in july the opposition say they are not having it and are 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 i've least 30 people have already died from communal violence our correspondents funny fresh our reports from . 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 his son and what he promised not to run for a 3rd term but then his chosen successor died and he changed his mind. several dozen people have been killed in protests 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 usually 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. and raids and call on the people

outside protest peacefully because we're 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 now they say to organize before thora to stop their plans by he has been fighting for human rights and democracy for as long as he can remember he says. we do not want the selection the president house already had 2 terms of office because only permits to so he must now go on a new person most common. most activists like by a have been arrested in the run up to the auctions but he wants to continue. see. if you're scared for the last believe by this believe we know when we leave in the

morning we are lucky if we return home in the evening. shortly after his interview we contrie he's 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 peace i don't want another war i only want peace. was. the youth here and mobilize 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 cohen 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 and 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. in democracy. i've longed 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 i was not a reporter and now joins us hello funny so the opposition is calling for boy caught on civil disobedience how cold this play out and what do they hope to achieve

what they're hoping to have the achieve in haiti ever since in fact president ouattara said that he's running again for a 3rd term in alice through this august where the opposition so what they want to prevent this election from taking place and that's pretty much what the campaigning on that actually participating in the electoral process because as we've also seen in the report they say we want to boycott the election via 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 the late food just ahead of the elections tomorrow and pool the other actions as well. now the opposition clearly has issues with president ouattara about how much public support 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 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 this election because to them it's a farce and again others that we 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 asto 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 the various roadblocks have been set up here in abidjan in the commercial capital and in the political capital in the capital of ivory coast right now as we're speaking there are clashes between security forces and people who are supporting the opposition parties people who are trying to defend their own communities they say against the forces of ivory coast and who are

saying we want to prevent a selection from taking place so unfortunately it's not a question anymore about how likely violence is going to play out how likely it 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 tomorrow according to president ouattara it is going to take place tomorrow. hopefully things returned to calm a funny for a shoddy job your correspondent at the time covered 19 has seriously affected our way of life but it hasn't been all doom and gloom to young musicians across africa or you have shifted to social media and musicians have caught up with the trend by streaming live concerts young zimbabwean jazz musician to do is making waves with his band and that's now how to break through. on an frigid machinery has more from zimbabwe's capital harare.

22 year old. band blues this woman around there's a look a simple chords it's not where you live or the news but for the coming in store chic get formants lights and the more he sees the only down the east will fade. but the musicians have determined to continue their plans or have now become one line for. 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. only of this year the young interest loans they used. which was it wanted to launch with a live audience but written up like going to school with 19 restrictions.

connecting with the crowd and so forth and something that is really amazing and something that is priceless so considering the could be named teen pandemic it's not the same with a camera is calling that you could feel people cheering you on but hearing that scream and applause something that's really a means to them so they do come. but we will present listen moments like these with anything in white brings a live audience happy and again. this concept stage in central hierarchy would have been alive in normal times but didn't 19 had other ideas many artists have launched their kid rhea's here before an audience which she is and enjoys their live performances but for now they remain confined to

. online concepts. that recruiting people are either going to music producer one or more believe. me it's one of the lines raised through. an opportunity like these if you cannot exist when we start people being forced to stay too long which means people are being forced to watch the social media more than before this is a time drug addict i think young artists should get the ground running and create called and that's a very appealing. talking online for me is what young music fans are. going through for now while the well would wait for the real thing. the music will continue to play for.

the show goodbye and have a great weekend. bassinets of that i don't need to keep looking at the evil of the people both from all over the mansion home the 4th time for the last machine and that nickname by. the bottom of the fannies at the last dragons was cornered as you call it the hollow tree used to agree books on. the free state forests for. its

way to bring a concert. how do we beat city street. how can we protect traffic tickets. we shoot you to france to. lead you to be environmentally series if you please to be closer to w. greetings from berlin the looming lock down 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 de lay's 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 long 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 a german trumpet virtuoso till behind who posted an angry video on his facebook page an instagram site that instantly went viral it was planning to tour next month with a brand new album that's fresh out on friday let's see if we can have a quick listen to.

and i spoke to till 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 or they actually have been affected because all of the causes you know maybe with the exception of 3 concerts at the castle so that is a severe change but for the entire country for the time oh yes obviously and 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 is

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 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 been all got no point there you know and i understand right now it's important

to talk to politicians and the main question really is 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 after 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 and also this is not how freelance people work you know many people maybe including me you know i haven't made any money you know i know grammar 2098 so i think it is

a good way to look at it so it's the to find out you know what is the 12th you know all of the last year and that is a suggestion and. it's going to be. 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 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. can be the freedom to improvise when playing music but he's also a perfectionist i give this work at home 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 bearing 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 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. and to my loudspeaker and that's the idea behind it that i can the acoustic and electronic sound in the here or in the concert hall and there is no amplification going on in the piano. the concert at the berlin

philharmonic new york and his own song will take a musical journey through time the selection of works seems to perfectly encapsulates the prevailing mood it's one of the last concerts in germany before all venues are shut down for november. if you 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 them. moving through knowing and hopefully you. will return to the stage before. 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. this is it the 33000 square meters of glass for sard 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 and nicholas of burnout has come to check the building out. that they wanted to make an airport that fits into the plant's plateau of the telco 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 up to the main of. the check in area is clearly structured steel pillar supports. a touch of traffic or more and some of the huge glass fronts of unimpeded views of the surrounding landscape and up into the sky who come from the right gear 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 to bother 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 africa texture and space to be. internationally renowned architects meinhardt funk and folks in 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. this would be the best thing would be if it were called classical architecture no matter whether you are thinking of the 19th century and ching color or the 20th century and. not. the architects have been in the business for a long time take a pope which will now close is actually one of the early works the architectural

icon to praise due to the short distances to the gates and it's hexagonal shape. 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. wants his final verdict on the new but oh. well today you would take a completely different materials you would choose a completely different aesthetic to it but it isn't a port that remains true to its own aesthetics and effect 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 but i have to say almost take all just a little bit that's all for this time so until we meet again don't forget about the website thanks for watching and.
