and on demand. language courses. video and audio. w. media sector. this is the end of the news africa coming up on the program is the model for peace now at war if you piers prime minister ahmed is basing his biggest test of p.c.'s i see advances his military in the tikrit region is this the same man who promised to unify the ethnically the best nation. the colon of virus fun than a cost cause that many in nigeria have to skid means as food security wesson's those hope. is ations try to rescue the situation.

the name is that in my junior welcome to the program if you hear us military says the country has entered into a shame for as war it did not anticipate and at sugi region that is prime minister abu akhmed on friday said the military operation has clear on limited objectives but there are still concerns about a possible prolonged war in the country earlier this week obvious said he had ordered the military into to agree a northern region that once dominated ethiopian politics he claimed it was in response to one alleged attack on the federal military combat by its ruling party that the group people's liberation front t. p.l.f. the un has expressed deep concern by the fighting on the tube for calm. a show of strength by 2 grice special forces the. the soldiers are loyal to the t.p.i.

that party which governs the checkride region the national government accuses them of attacking an ethiopian army base in mckellar a the region's capital from seeing the military response to grice lead it denies this calling it an excuse to attack. another look in the regions around the groene there is a massing of military forces consequently i have announced a news conference that they are surrounding us with their forces i stated that they have decided to go to war and we should all prepared to foil it this is our proclamation. ever since to grow i held a region election in september tensions have escalated with added sad about the ethiopian government did not want the election to go ahead because of the coronavirus the t.p.i. death used to be the dominant party anything but off the prime minister abbey ahmed came to power in 2018 it split from the governing coalition clashes have been

reported on to grow its border with the abhorrent region eyewitnesses have told ethiopian military planes have also been circling above mackellar. the ritual for the country has entered into a war that he did not want this war is a shameful war does not have a point the people of to grandma and its youth and its security forces should not stifle this point lismore ethiopia is that a country which fearing a civil war the un has called pretty escalation of tensions the bigger concern is of a wider regional conflicts. for more on the developments in ethiopia i am now joined by some all guitar true journalist based in. thanks for your time now abi has vowed more military attacks on the region against international calls for calm easy

prepared to enter into a full blown war there. when the regional government has called for the same kind of action against the government of being so it's $22.00 and when it is because they're meeting the same kinds of accusations in florida but the prime minister seems to be determined in terms of. fulfilling what you want to do and from what we see you know as you know internet influence are no longer serious i mean suspended so we don't know but it seems like he is believed to be there to go all over to great region and the leadership of that. so he asked what the what's difficult to understand that degree states used to be a part of the government so how are both sides now at war. you know the president of the great rigid run for a prime minister. against al-qaeda and he lost and since then the relationship

has gone down the aisle to understand that the p.p.l. it was in government for the last 27 years before i mean came to our sort of even people that we presented the 2 great region in parliament they've resigned many of them and how they left for today and what some of the most influential people we all know who are looking out you know to us minister some bull in to guard so it's been about in for the accusations you know you don't want to be wakes up one night and like uses the other side and say thank you so it's it's been about in force for the last 3 years and i mean everybody understood that something was about to happen for the most curious because i'd be and then leadership and to go i would meet him schottky stations against each other and they were talking to each other yeah actually it now now this prime minister. go into war that's not sound like the same man who lost the i won the nobel peace prize what has changed. you know.

for people there are 2 sides people who defend the 2 that and see that we tried for the last few years trying to bring peace not just in ethiopia but even in south sudan with different functions and even bringing peace in eritrea that actually want to not get a peace prize and even in somalia and kenya and everywhere i mean when the when there was a dispute between kenya and somalia it was. really negotiated the peaceful coexistence that we see today but the people that criticize our you always say that he grew up in a military lifestyle for a long long time he was mean to eat she joined the ethiopian army when he was a teenager so it was people say that people that you know criticize him today he keeps saying that he really does not believe in peace he really believes that war

is the only option to come to a conclusion or to come to fulfill the mission of every government now that there are 2 sects all kinds of steps ok and now he has been intervening in our our people situations trying to bring about peace but who could mediate in this particular crisis briefly. i mean it is us you know it's the capital city of the continent it's where the african union has been for the longest time for more than half a century so as you can union should cover all the e.u. has only seen alongside with the ambition of ethiopia in terms of development title and so on you can see. i mean if biden becomes the next president and the united states that's also an option i mean the government has said you know very pointed. to be having disagreements with trump administration since.

almost indorse egypt to potentially bomb their biggest infrastructure projects in the country which is their innocence down biden who insists there is a role here for them to play better i mean it's a work in progress but internet forums are always been done so it's harder to get you know in person stories on the ground ok some will get the true journalist based in ethiopia thanks for your insights. and you. made it difficult for many to make ends meet. since the start of covert 19 foot security has wes and and more than 70 percent of households have to skip meals to tackle this problem the neighbors food bank and the farm academy are teaching the residents of lagos how to grow the own food in a modernized way. leaving their.

1st coronavirus cases are growing up but many artists and performers are doing their best not to throw in the towel this year's jazz fest berlin is a perfect example a fully digital festival with performances not just and berlin but new york as well let's have a listen for. a little. improvise a show that is the essence of jazz but particularly important at this year's jazz fest in. which a monk. the 57th edition of inside lent green venue concerts are being prayed and streamed live but there are no audiences and no applause the performances take place with strict hygiene regulations in force is great to see what is happening is an amazing we really can't believe how they've done it in

a way that makes sense like you say the festival with. experiment and improvise their way out of such an incredibly unusual maybe. the festival organizers wait in various margins now a global audience can take part in conversations with musicians concerts and multimedia jazz projects. always that's very very sad that this could only take place without audience but still the digital connection is a chance because we are now have events in 8 cities over the 4 days. after. for 2 days there will be a virtual bridge to new york vibraphone virtual. and other acts like sex oftenest nikki ship benjamin lifestream the sets the roulette crop of brooklyn and enter into a virtual dialogue with bands like live. from berlin. it's

suspension during this strange election show. artist moore mother has summed up her feelings about the mood in america in a poem pandemic long sing me i knew lullaby. shifting pictures instagram graveyard of memory. at least we can still make news. wow you may have heard of berlin's fancy new airport the one that took 9 extra years and billions of extra euros to open well plenty of berliners don't even want it why because they love the city's other airport to go and its main terminal where passengers only take a few steps from curbside to check in to boarding take isn't just efficient it's also an icon of the cold war era but this weekend it's finally set to close for good airports architects want to say goodbye. mine hard for air con and folks in

mark have come to say goodbye to their airport berlin table before it closes down for good they wanted to take a walk down memory lane. puzzle piece. they would use a full budget to stick to because of their luggage carts suitcases wheels came later the carts were allowed so we scrapped the original for all boats and replace them but the cheapest material was missing. they designed every single detail in this terminal from the building's shape to the interior styling and even the indoor and outdoor signs table airport wasn't just a run of the mill project for these famous german architects it was their 1st big commission after getting their college degrees in 1966 their design won the competition for the new airport in the divided city of berlin. at that point in time teagle was just an airfield it was originally

a takeoff and landing runway used for air lift planes bringing goods to the landlocked city of west berlin after the 2nd world war then it was repurposed in 1974 the new airport opened a verified for over 2000 people. stick it was a pair of glasses like they use a little late so the opening ceremony took place. that the west berlin mayor trial should. call should he or she got these glasses as a key takeaway became the prototype of the short distance airport optimizing the space between arrival and departure gates it was popular with berliners and tourists the airport was the point of arrival for prominent guests it was the stage where emotional moments took place like the return of the german soccer world champions in 2014 but the airport became out of touch with modern needs it was old fashioned and too small for a booming capital city after german reunification it was necessary to build

a new airport and close down tanker. yes. now it's time to say goodbye not without a touch of melancholy because this building documents a time when our job was all about people's needs time when customer was king. to do. i call it boys the whole right here for more melissa this strikes me as a kind of weird moment for this city and this is this moment that's decades in the making when one airport closes another one opens hardly anyone's flying there's very little fanfare yet the be the new really opened with the wind the big boss said this was nothing to celebrate after this year's long delay the engineer

said that they were ashamed so it just seems like somebody just opened the door one way one day one day a week ago and just let people know the main architect of the new airport is actually the same one we just saw of the old airport mine of mine had some dark on one of his big things that he hates airport shopping yeah yeah that's was that was one of the great things about the intake though is that it wasn't about shopping it wasn't about entering into this huge mold filled with juicy free goods it wasn't about restaurants it wasn't about any of that stuff it was about flying flying flying and one of the extraordinary things that you mentioned early on was the short distance between getting dropped off in a taxi and actually getting into the plane it really was just a few may to get off that you just where the planes it was just just behind the woman behind you know just behind the counter with who was sitting was where the plane once but actually my understanding of it is that he didn't want shopping in

the near airport he made a plan with very little shopping and they tried to cram it in at the last minute and that led to all these other problems. that led to the delays that we saw a lot of people do have a lot of affection for take airport because back to the cold war yeah because because whisper lynn was an island inside east germany and to avoid these transit roads the only way to avoid these transit roads was to fly in and out of the airport so a lot of these west berlin is really hold that close to their hearts i mean those also i mean it was also very believing wasn't it was very gritty and it was really right yeah it wasn't beautiful to look at from the ground i don't think but i think once you go into the plot into a plane and you were flying in or you were flying out it really was impressive you got to see all these lovely the use of these hexagon forms. it was huge if it were it was sort of it was an acquired taste but one that i think we all came to appreciate after we landed there a few different times anything planned for the farewell not that much planned for

the fail well the building 5 department going to say goodbye with the ceremonial water oche moment there are people sort of still watching appliance watching planes going in and ask and there's not really that much plans of space is going to be used as an open quarter for of the 5000 people 5000 to pop once and space for more than 10000 right so certainly got big plans and so we can you know we can certainly use those apartments but it's a very quiet goodbye to a place with a lot of history melissa thanks for coming on the show. now for decades and australian government agencies were moved indigenous australian children from their families to reeducate them into white culture a new exhibition in australia now features the artworks of some of those children known as the stolen generations so what you know this report does contain images of aboriginal people who have passed away which we know can be upsetting to aboriginal
