victims also on the program that's come claiming i was there once collarbone or member of the cult it's not about. racial tension in south africa we've got a report from a high school in cape town that's become the latest flashpoint. you know we've been told everything these people who know you do know some of. their racism and i'll give you no longer. hello i'm christine one day it's good to have your company kenyan victims of a bomb attack on the u.s. embassy and 998 have criticized a new compensation deal when al qaida 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 terrible

seas with 224 people killed and thousands of others injured in the capital nairobi neighboring sudan 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 have the survivors mostly kenyans will not be receiving any of it. mariel miller has more. esther remembers that day like it just happened on the 7th of august 1998 at 10 30 in the morning she heard the 1st blast. when i knew that the whole building was coming down and that is why i think the preah which we brought to me because of my getting green and the 2nd black 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 dead those severely injured she survived and that they almost imitating his knee bombs exploded at u.s. embassies in nairobi kenya and dar es salaam tanzania the blast scale 224 people and injured about 5000. esther was working at the bank right next to the embassy she was retired on medical grounds and only 42 years old nevertheless she still wanted to work but was rejected because of medical reasons i was not the noble woman that would be the woman who used to go to the opiates and walk by my family and. it will not to be a race that i feel so sad that i'm not able to you know. to walk for my company. 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 lost his job so it wasn't it wasn't. my me and nothing money for that so i loved all of us we. still 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 al 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 doubtless 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 . as does 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 more to my he is annoying representing victims like those you've just been introduced to in our report he is in nairobi 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 happened to you. think you're christian what i can say about the topic are they don't have states bussy is not lab on their culpability part in a lot of these and they're probably close to done what you 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 who are you at united states nationalities or nuns or employees or contractors

under lock 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 missive 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 to pass the buck shot up who want to lobby the congress of the united states in order they can allow a provision that will open that window or were opened. it will be for kenyans to as well be compensated and receive justice together with the other victims right what do you believe israel government's role in all of this stand the. the kenyan

government where i am not are so just to speak with the government are told believe that their government should also maybe take a role you don't dare to see how it can be able to repress the situation and address the plight 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 and protest is vine if they clashed on monday night prison so we're going up also has condemned the clashes and called for an investigation demonstrate is that because it at the school on monday off the room is that a matric leaving party was attended by only white students the w.'s correspondent andrea and krishna reports from reconcile high school. inside the school students

a long overdue space for urban dance in mainstream culture. and cypriot designers studio audience fuses 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 nucleon masks and social distancing are mandatory now people carry in film studio outside sofia as are covert tests for anyone who comes on set.

but unlike most hollywood studios movies are still getting made. like the us thriller till death produced entirely under the pope at night restrictions 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 you meet with the crew how you do the location scouting how you conduct your meetings and communication you do a lot of little communication online and on what's up and so on and i didn't expect suggesting a lot because there are others who don't want to travel. the new safety protocols have made movie making even more expensive a 2nd crew has to be kept on standby in case somebody gets sick and even catering is complicated by faiza route every meal for every crew member has to be prepared

and wrapped separately. steelhead estimates the costs mean at least an extra 5 to 10 percent added to the budget or the direct cost obviously which is hand sanitizer masks personal protective equipment all the things that are there and then there's the indirect cost of hiring a covert task force bringing in consultants and viro does from overseas to advise of production and how did your it's and also this sort of new way of operating which slows things down because now we're in pollard's 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 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 why the final in the erotic drama series are now being made in bulgaria which required a change in approach to filming. we've designed sets around areas where we put windows up so you can see the actually behind them but keep our cast behind the windows the film like an addiction to each other after movies are known for getting hot and heavy and there's no way to do a socially distanced section. might not be going away any time soon but your new boy on a studio's 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 invisible per specs screens were being used to separate act and extras i think the interest of full disclosure we should point out there is a person scream between the 2 of us and if i move my arm in this story you can actually sometimes see it so 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 set and they take that quite far in bulgaria they are also express experimenting with remote directing it is fun. possible

for the director to work from home and we can see this in action here in the us 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 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 will 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 chrono times where we only see people who wear masks in public spaces or at work have to say that when you watch films these days and you're confronted with a scene in a in a disco at a concert with hundreds of people where it does look 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 hillebrand was born in hong kong has german and west african roots and grew up in berlin but hip hop was his education from his beginnings as a boy to his work as a choreographer director and curator while 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 to see him in his choreography for theater in fiber. deduction for extensive it's a tugs that nowadays german folk dance is urban dance 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 people but 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 accrue to it but don't want it. 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. from you know i grew up in a white family my 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. but integration is simply a term meant to say to me subjugate yourself. be satisfied with less try harder i don't have to integrate we have to integrate white people who don't like i look. rafael who is also an activist he co-founded the political party do you obama the urban's in 2017 and he's the federal chairman party conferences are 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. urban dance as a counter movement hip hop as protest d or bananas 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 yeah 4 years ago i thought how can this be the next federal election is coming and there's no one on this ballot who represents me that's not ok this. current one man show of mine and choice or on my shoulders is his autobiography told through downs and spoken word. love that actually he needs to have those forward. tied i give me she do exactly. i need to shut up 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 that becomes 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 massara skulls his functional artwork the wave city take

. i went to really restaurant and while i was sitting there was that during the shape of a rug is interesting shape so i thought oh you know the 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 table 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 film. stelios massaro says 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 still useless cyrus's work. don't forget about our website c.w. dot com slash culture for more and with fact is time for me to sign off so stay safe all of us from cambridge.
