a high school in cape town that's become the latest flashpoint. we've been told everything these people what they do not. know about their racism and i can we along with. hello i'm christine will have your company kenyan victims of a bomb attack on the u.s. embassy and 998 have criticized a new compensation deal when al qaeda bombed u.s. embassies in kenya and tanzania in august 1998 it was the 1st islamic terror attack targeting the united states on foreign soil kenya suffered most of the casualties with 224 people killed and thousands of others injured in the capital nairobi.

neighboring so done provided in direct support for al qaeda and its leader osama bin laden who carried out the attacks as a result the u.s. put sudan on the list of countries that support terrorism and imposed sanctions on the country that changed last month when sudan agreed to pay $335000000.00 in compensation to attack victims employees at the u.s. embassy but other survivors mostly kenyans will not be receiving any office. mario milla has. esther remembers that day like it just happened on the 7th of august and 998 at 10 30 in the morning she heard the 1st blast. when i knew the whole building was coming down and that is why i think the prayer retreat gone to me because of my kitchen agree that the 2nd is when i was thrown out and people tell me that i was collected on the pavement i looked like i had

died so they thought probably i was. though severely injured she survived on that day almost a month 10 years li bombs exploded at u.s. embassies in nairobi kenya and dar es salaam tanzania the blasts killed $224.00 people and injured about 5000. esther was working at the bank right next to the embassy she was retired and medical grounds at only 42 years old nevertheless she still wanted to work but was rejected because of medical reasons i was not the noble woman there is a woman who used to go to the office and was told by my family. it would not to be raised i feel so sad that i'm not able to you know. to walk or bike or. from then on the former supervisor dependent on financial support from her family regularly she meets up with other survivors of the attack

michael lost his mother when he was only 2 years old douglas lost his eyesight they've also struggled financially my dad. it wasn't it wasn't. enough money for that so i let go of it's we already live on to provide for the provide us and even. at some point mine is always a problem. then they heard of the new deal brokered by the u.s. and the sudanese government sudan has agreed to pay $335000000.00 of compensation to the victims of the attacks in return the us removed the country from its list of state sponsors of terrorism sudan was listed because it holds that our qaeda leader osama bin laden as a guest of the government but with the deal only for my us and local embassy employees are to receive compensation that's only one percent of the people who

were killed or injured it says. we feel the american government. that we africans are little beings than americans but we feel we are just equal human beings like america and we'd be treated just as much as the american citizens now 22 years later and still in pain and needs medication to be able to sleep if she would receive compensation she says she would be able to pay the looming school fees so that her sons can finally graduate i feel frustrated discriminated hated because i don't see the difference between an american election . esther's biggest health now is that the new us president elect joe biden will reconsider the compensation plan and include all survive us. i'm now joined

by standing with to my he is annoying representing victims like those you've just been introduced to the not report he is in the welcome to date on the news africa stanley you like the people that you're representing suffered injuries on that fateful day in nairobi 22 years ago but why do you believe that the united states is liable for what happens to you. thank you kristen what i can say about the topic are they don't have states bussy is not liable their culpability part in the law isn't that the public of sudan what we are saying is that the target we just american embassy it was an extension of the united states government so we feel that there should be no discrimination or distinction between victims or are you it united states nationalities or kenyans or employees or contractors under law kate you know those who are not legal relationship with

a embassy so our point is that victims should be treated the same ok and where are you taking that mrs stanley tell us about way your cases yes our cases are we have to go to the american congress it's appropriate legal suit but we have our principle lawyer was based in the united states in california so he's going to form what we call a lobby it's not try a posse but struggle up who want to lobby the congress of the united states in order that can allow the provision that will open that window or were opened. the way for kenyans to as well be compensated and receive justice together with the other picked him right what do you believe israel government's role in all of this stand the. the kenyan government where i cannot are so just to speak with the government are told believe that the government should also

maybe take a role you don't have to see how it can be able to repress the situation and address the plight but like us so yes this is a probably too little salt and i cannot speak for the government of kenya. in south africa racial tensions have sparked outside a high school in cape town the school was on high alert today after parents in protest is violent if they clashed on monday night prison so we're going up also has condemned the clashes and called for an investigation demonstrators that picketed at the school on monday off the room is that a matric leaving party was attended by only white students correspondent andrea and krishna reports from breckon fell high school. inside the school students are writing their high school leaving it outside is a massive police presence the school also hired security guards after parents and

protesters clashed close to the school on monday we need to see arrests because there is absolutely unacceptable violence from any side and of course at the end of the day for me we have to. learn the complete specifically the metrics they need to be able to do it safely the police closed down the street in front of the school but down here on the other side to find a group of parents and their supporters they say they came here to protect their children in case the economic freedom fighters are showing up again the f. a political party organized the protests on monday that turned violent and some angry members of the white community attacked the protesters even beating them with baseball bats they refused to talk to us but on the other side here today you can see only a few protesters showed up that's why probably. there was color. function

and i don't believe what he saw was. racism we need to deal with. this. because for too long we've been told everything these people. they didn't apologize. about the end racism and i can we all know what they we are still suffering under the racism this thing is going to boil over let's go this thing is going some way the situation outside the school is another example for racial tensions in south africa the neighborhood here is mainly white and although the students in the high school are mixed in raised the claims that there hasn't been a black teacher for many years they claim that the authorities have neither the night. confirms tensions are likely to remain high with the announcing for the protests. it's take a look at some of the stories making news across the continent now in an effort to

and cypriot designer studios will satisfy uses with function and 3 d. printing technology in his growing collection of contemporary furniture. well no doubt you've experienced it by now here watching a movie when 2 characters go to embrace each other and you get a visceral reaction of no keep your distance which goes to show just how covert 19 has changed not only our behavior but also our perceptions of physical contact and now imagine what this means for cinema in general we looked into how film productions are evolving to stay in the game. well things have changed a lot that new boy ana masks and social distancing are mandatory now with people carrying film studio outside sofia as are covert tests for anyone who comes on set . but unlike most hollywood studios movies are still getting made here. like the

u.s. thriller till death produced entirely under coded nike instructions frank director renny harlin is here preparing his next action movie he says the coronavirus book changed everything. it effects. oh you work with the crew how do you meet with the group how you do the location scouting how you conduct your meetings and communication you do a lot of sort of communication online and. what's up and so on and it effects gusting a lot because there are others who don't want to travel. the new safety protocols have made moviemaking even more expensive a 2nd crew has to be kept on standby in case somebody gets sick and even catering is complicated by fazer out every meal for every crew member has to be prepared and wrapped separately. steelhead estimates that costs mean at least an extra 5 to 10 percent added to the budget or the direct cost obviously which use hand sanitizer

masts personal protective equipment all the things that are there and then there's an indirect cost of hiring a covert task force bringing in consultants and fire all of this from overseas to advise the production and and how to do it and also this sort of new way of operating which slows things down because now we're in pods we can't just get a camera to set right away we have to put it into a holding cell someone else has to pick it up so you can use a lot more planning and timing as well and the added expense hasn't stopped film producers us horror film cobweb and the erotic drama after we found our currently shooting at new boy both originally planned to film in america. well while the final. product drama series are now being made in bulgaria it's required a change in approach to filming. we've designed sets around areas where we've put

windows up so you can see the actually behind them but keep our cast behind the windows the film like addiction to after movies are known for getting hot and heavy and there's no way to do a socially distanced. alike might not be going away any time soon but here at new boy on the studios they're determined to keep the cameras rolling. scott roxboro for us on location there and joining me now in the studio is my colleague adrian kennedy hi adrian back up there just for a 2nd because obviously there's no such thing as the socially distant sex scene it's pretty much the end at least for the time being of intimate scenes in movies i really don't think so karen for one thing you couldn't socially isolate the production crew. but also the 2 or more participants in this hypothetical. scene could also take

a test and then things should be alright instantly we saw there that some invisible per specs screens were being used to separate act and extras i think the interest of full disclosure we should point out that there is a screen between the. us and if i move my arm in this storage you can actually sometimes see it's. the magic of film it's all illusion indeed it is now a film productions are going ahead albeit with a lot of improvisation but is the key to this simply minimizing all contacts for everyone involved outside and on that take that quite far in bulgaria they are also expect experimenting with remote directing it is. possible for the director to work from home and we can see this in action here in all look fairly plausible for an action sequence i'm not sure whether this would be

a good way of directing a dramatic scene with a number of actors i'm sure orson welles' i can't see him as a remote director is that immediate contact with the director is often so important ok so it looks like everything is more or less possible but it involves much more planning of course and certainly a lot of extra cost will this lead to certain films perhaps avoiding scenes or scripts that are considered problematic this is the big question when we see a spate of films with just a handful of actors and no crowd scenes or will we see films that are set in corner times where we only see people who were masks in public spaces or at work i have to say that when you watch films these days and you're confronted with a scene in a disco at a concert with hundreds of people it just looks strange almost science fiction because it no longer reflects our own reality course we hope that with a vaccine on its way we might be dialing down the restrictions but nobody really

knows how long we will be continued to be wearing masks in public but we have been asking industry experts about how scripts might change and this is the subject of our report tomorrow that's right and all of the reports showing this week will be on arts $21.00 in full length looking at the crisis facing movies and filmmaking thanks for joining us with that backstory adrian kennedy thank you. well his biography gives a clue to the incredible scope of his vision rafael hildebrand was born in hong kong has german and west african roots and grew up in berlin but hip hop was the education from his beginnings as a b. boy to his work as a choreographer director and curage. well meanwhile he's at home on stages all over the globe and recently won a german dance prize for outstanding artistic contribution. graphic says the award

is long overdue it's the 1st time the german dance prize has honored anyone from the urban dance john. born in hong kong the berlin based dancer brings to the stage a fascinating combination of hip hop and folk dance as seen in his choreography for theater in. the churches for extensive it's a tigers that nowadays german folk dance is urban down so that's how people are dancing in living rooms and schoolyards so we're calling for choreography centers like in france which include urban dance styles and are possibly directed by people from the hip hop scene. we also want these dance styles to not always be put in the box of preventing violence and racism we are also part of the cultural dialogue and we want to have our say and equipped with it but don't worry. for the 38 year old prejudice and racism are things he has to contend with on a daily basis so for him dance is also a form of resistance survival and self-assertion success as

a tool to fight discrimination and in the face of from you know i grew up in a white family a stepfather is white my biological mother is white my brother is white i have no need for integration it's kind. of a society keeps trying to tell me i should integrate or that i'm an example of successful integration into god's children. but integration is simply a term meant to say to me subjugate yourself and to. be satisfied with less try harder i don't have to integrate we have to integrate the white people who don't like i look. rafael hillebrand is also an activist he co-founded the political party do you abandon the urban's in 2017 and he's the federal chairman. r.t. conferences part held at the young african arts market in berlin. i want my daughter to also have this kind of autonomous space in a city and not just places meant to earn as much profit per square metre as

possible. open downs as a counter movement pop as protest day or bonus party political platform picks up on that tradition it's concerned with representation in all areas of society including the very top levels of power 4 years ago i thought how can this be the next friday election is coming and there's no one on this ballot who represents me that's not ok this. is current one man show of mine in short on or on my shoulders is his autobiography told through downs and spoken word. love it actually nice to have those ford. tires i gave. up to me to show. whether dancer choreographer assistant or activist i feel at home in all of these roles and they are all a part of me that i contain multitudes. rafael who have many facets are

exciting and inspiring for him diversity is more than just a buzzword it's a way of life. ok where they're inspiring and that's just one way to describe studios satirist a cypriot designer makes furniture that combines rigorous artistic expertise with seemingly endless childhood fantasy add to the versatility of 3 d. printing and you get playful pieces that might just remind you a little bit of your good old toy box. the cityscape of a modern metropolis dotted with skyscrapers. and its designers stelios messias cars his functional art work the wave city take. i went to a restaurant and while i was sitting there i was there during the shape of a rug is interesting shape so i thought oh you know what buildings will be

interesting so. i did a rough sketch with buildings and i didn't really model on the computer so when we made the 1st they wanted really really good. fans of designer furniture agreed the wave city table has made most artists famous even features in the permanent collection of the new floor. stelios most heiresses surreal furniture has a design language all its own whether it's a comical figure holding a surfboard. chairs inspired by a latin's flying carpet. or a mountain in wire mesh that props up a ping pong table and doubles as a dining table he's inspired by the natural beauty of his homeland cyprus and fascinates me because i think the best are take this nature a glass drop of water creating a ripple effect evokes the mediterranean sea rockets lifting off recalled the

clouds above cyprus his home is clearly reflected in stelios massara says work. don't forget about our web sites the w dot com slash culture for more and with fact is time for me to sign off so stay safe and all the best from last year.
