years ago, high ranking officers of the nazi regime. good morning, judging by the allied forces, were the 1st war criminals to be held accountable for their crimes. but now i'm going 10 years right now we're 2 part series. the 3rd reich, the talk starts november 12th, on d w. this is really is africa coming up on today's program. kenya is seeing a watering spike of new cold with 19 infections. a disease experts tells us it's mostly because people aren't being strict about sticking to their guidelines in able to police brutality protests across nigeria. some of those who participated in the demonstrations say they're being targeted by the authorities in
5:31 pm
a crackdown on that and sauced movement. hello, i'm christine wonder. it's good to have your company in the recent news of a potential breakthrough in the search for a coronavirus vaccine couldn't come soon. enough reported cases in africa are nearing 2000000 with the infection rate x. in orating. in some countries, kenya has reported its highest daily bit cell phone call, the 19, with 24 people succumbing to the virus. now this number pales in comparison to other parts of the world. that's the increasing number of deaths comes as the rate of new infections, spikes across the country. mostly in nairobi and mombasa, the number of people infected with the coronavirus in kenya is sharply rising. it's a worrying trend in a nation where intensive care beds are in short supply or far jesus started scaling
5:32 pm
up the country's testing capacity, reporting more than 1300 new infections on tuesday with out of work seen without any cure in sight. we've probably been looking like most people picks over the next coming months. kenya's government bought back restrictions last week. these include an overnight curfew from 10 pm and boston restaurants have been ordered to close by 9 pm and make a difference twixt people more aware of what the about this thing. and they're also more cautious with a 2nd of people drop their guard down. so as a result, you find the number of sides in the race against time has no reason for kenya to suppress the spread of the virus and avoid overwhelming its health facilities. my 1st guest today is professor ohm ones. i like he's from the department of medical
5:33 pm
microbiology at the university are from nairobi. he specializes on infectious disease. welcome to news africa, a professor. so i'm just a kenya reported its highest stance toll since march and, and cases in the country are also spiking. why is this happening now? yeah, right. when we 1st got the 1st case way back in march. and then we prepared really well for and we are bringing we started there is forms in terms of continued measures, some restrictions in nairobi and mum does some research yourself confused and in risk communication, i think what we didn't do very well really didn't communicate very well that this outbreak was going to take a long time. so people started by the social distancing people, went on to wearing masks for went on to have to sanitation and hygiene, you know, but with time. and there's
5:34 pm
a lot of fatigue from health care professionals from team, from the general public is actually taking longer than in anybody expected. and that's really where the problems are. that's where we are beginning to see a spike in facial output. as our view is that you did have a mask just before we came off, but that face them and at the measures that the government has now recently reimposed, perhaps direct in that that would be enough to tail the spread of the virus. india doesn't measure actually the most american do because what we are trying to do is there i sit on the task that you, that lives in government and i have grandchildren balance between the interest in ensuring that life goes on to some extent in terms of commerce. and industry, but at this i'm time limited spread of concrete. so really what we have put in
5:35 pm
place measures that are still non-pharmaceutical, but really are the end of interval it burns down to individual responsible individual responsibility. the government is still one to some extent from now 9 o'clock local maternal block 10 pm to in a 5 in the morning. we are not allow people to move around. we don't trust professor, sorry, we're actually restricted. we are restricting you know, gatherings. but we brought down individual measures, really they're not just out of the government can do. not them the ok. all right professor, thank you so much. i did have one more case if you can answer the phone basically there's been years now about the same coming virus. what do you make of that? the vaccine that is the vaccine. sorry. if that is the drum changer for us,
5:36 pm
that is a major one. come, what do you also have to have countries to be involved for now? they're only to have the kind of countries that are testing this vaccine, that in south africa and kenya there's a study last week. but we want to see more african in love medicine. ok so that when this was a pronounced right, then to learn not only be rockin in north america and europe, but there are also been shown that there is intelligence in a multiplicity of african countries. ok, fantastic. thank you so much. oman xylo, joining us from nairobi. thank you, professor. just over a month since nigerians took to the streets to protest against police brutality some demonstrators say they are now being targeted by authorities for their participation in the end. saul's movement it early october young nigerians began demonstrating calling for the ban. all saw as that was a notorious police unit that had long been accused of violent arrest. and now the protests erupted off to a video showed a saws office, a illegibly shooting
5:37 pm
a man in delta state, before driving off peaceful protest organized and of the hash tag, and saw its spread across the country and to nigeria. and as for communities around the world, the 2 weeks approach has ended when security forces fired live rounds on demonstrators in lagos, killing several people focus of more on this crackdown on activists i'm joined at the table by our very own tomi oladipo. good to see you, tony. so just how do people say that they're being targeted by the authorities in this, in this crackdown, or there's a range of complaints 1st of all local media were reporting that the central bank had obtained a court order to freeze the accounts of a list of people who had taken part in, in the, in the protests. we've also heard reports of people being picked up from their homes, from different locations being arrested,
5:38 pm
just on some tweets now of complaints of some of these arrests where people are saying they because they took part in the, in the protests. they are being targeted. this person lists 6 people in a blue who were picked up and says that these people are being detained in prison for covering all participating in the protests and go to the next tweet, which is one of the main one of the main voices is a comedian who said that came to disrupt the process were not arrested. up until now, none of them is a tension. it's the peaceful protesters who are being arrested and intimidated. and he lists a journalist who died in one of these protests who was taken away by police. and then his body was found and nobody has been right accountable for that. they've been attempts to do register an advocacy organization that took part in these, in this movement as well. some people have fled for their safety and even some people's passports have been seized to prevent them from leaving the country. well
5:39 pm
ok, i have had the authorities, the officials, and i just say anything about about what's going on the wrist, the seizing of possible it's been frozen with sort of blanket claim of responsibility targeting the movements. the authorities will refer to specific cases. and for example, with the seizing of the passport, the way the interior ministry said this is they denied allegations that there is a no fly list and everything people are allowed to travel. but for example, the immigration department said that some of the possibles that was seized were done so at the request of an unnamed security agency. well, so you have cases like that. the police have come out to say that, and they even put out a statement saying that they are going to use legitimate force if there's any violent protests going on. so they'll attempt to hit back really, right. tell me we don't have too much more time quickly. what is the state of the insoles movement now? and the people are no longer on the streets as we know,
5:40 pm
but the movement is still going on online. they've stopped fundraising for now. they're still trying to help people who are wounded in the, in the, in the protests and people who are arrested and trying to get them out. but as a whole, it doesn't have the same momentum it once had. but you never know if there were to be another killing. who is to say what would happen, but the people are still upset at the way the government has handled this right? tomi oladipo as if thank you. playing basketball in somalia as a woman is only for the brave. that's because the women have to defy those who think women shouldn't play sports publicly. they also risk threats off attacks by al-shabaab, islamised extremists who control large parts of the country. but their love for the sport keeps them returning to the course. basketball practice in mogadishu. in blistering heat, it's a tough routine for the all female team. however, it's not only these conditions that make it hard. most of the girls come here
5:41 pm
against the wishes of their family. and there's also the constant threat of attack by gunmen who think women should not play sport publicly. while a lot of mogadishu is risky, we cannot openly say we are going to play. we put our playing clothes and shoes and bags and carry them like that to the field. and we pretend we're going to school or university measure, despite the insecurity and with no government, that courage is also taught us that we still love playing basketball or the house democrats are in is so men and the coach is happy to have a space to play at all, no one supports us and gives us equipment, and we do not have anyone supporting the players with uniforms, balls and shoes. we even do not have a proper court judge or match. the local commissioner however,
5:42 pm
backs them and offer the space for free. other than that, it's enthusiasm and dedication that keeps on going before islamist attacks surged, somalia had a national women's team. and nasser mohammad was a player for them. this enables her to pursue her passion and help the girls come to an adult. i decided to train goes after a soul that the girls enjoyed and needed someone to train up as this is also voluntary organization. so i came to train them for i've led trains high. she would love to make it into the national team, but there hasn't been one for the past 70 years. from now. the dream of one day being able to play in the open again and maybe start in teams across some keeps the girls going way to go ladies,
5:43 pm
that is it for now be sure to check out the stories that's on dot com forward slash africa. we're also on facebook and on to that, and now today will leave you with pitches off the women's basketball team in somalia that we just saw the next time a back to the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. as the rate of infection been developing, measures are being taken. what does the latest research say? information and context. the coronavirus up to the code.
5:44 pm
monday to friday. in the light of climate change africa's mix of what's in store for the future. for 2 major cities. term welcome to news from the world of arts and culture. well, it's one of the most eagerly awaited t.v. series of the year season 4 of the crown will be coming to netflix as of this weekend. and we'll talk about how it's ramped up the drama and also coming up our look at the challenges for t.v. and cinema in times of the coronavirus continues with a focus on how to write
5:45 pm
a socially distant screenplay. and our one of a kind collection of vintage photographs of men in love shines a light on gay couples, long hidden by history. well, it's one of the upsides, perhaps of a partial lockdown that binge watching your favorite t.v. series is perfectly ok. which is why fans of the crown are certainly rubbing their hands in anticipation of season 4. with a masterful cast, the netflix saga tackles the late seventy's through to 990 a particularly stormy period for the house of windsor. that makes for riveting television something as important as the monarchy simply cannot be allowed to get to the
5:46 pm
saga of britain's most dysfunctional family. and there's an important new addition to the mix lady diana spencer soon to become princess diana, as played by emma current. the new series concentrates on her early romance with charles and her difficult introduction into what court hears referred to as the firm. which fairy tales, a prince and princess wedding. the assassination of lord mountbatten tense relations with britain's 1st female prime minister. and the continuing was a princess margaret, are also addressed. but there's no doubt about the main subject of the crown season for the plot thickens. and joining me now is adrian kennedy from our culture desk, and i am so looking forward to this adrian obviously because it deals with a really explosive historic event. that's right. the 1st 3 series of really just
5:47 pm
being laying the groundwork, planting the seeds and building to this incredible crescendo. we've seen prince charles growing up in the last series. we know that he's been deprived of love sent off to boarding school, but he doesn't really want to be king that he loves a woman that he cannot have. and now his marriage to a more suitable woman is the accident waiting to happen. and princess diana, who soon feels isolated, unloved, and desperately lonely within the royal family. and apparently her suffering is quite graphically depicted in this season if i understand correctly. yes, it certainly is. we will see her battle with eating disorder. believe me or some episodes will contain warnings on content and voice on worst sufferers can get
5:48 pm
help. the makers of the show worked very closely with an eating disorder charity to ensure that the depiction was both accurate and sensitive. and speaking of accurate, tell me how it is story clee accurate series overall. ok, well is a fictionalized station, but the historian peter has a see who's written an official companion to the series has said half of it is historically accurate. the other half is imaginatively accurate. so there's a bigger poetic license, but basically it's quite good on the history. and in season 4, that history also throws up another very strong new character. so we've got a clip of that. let's just have a quick look. i think we have enough respect for one another person to ask ourselves some of the bigger questions, woman to woman. we are the same age after all really just 6 months between
5:49 pm
us and who is the senior incredible gillian anderson, they're looking very impressive indeed. as margaret thatcher did the critics approve of her portrayal. absolutely. did some people saying that they made a fact look like a real human being a little bit controversial for some people on the left. but even one reviewer actually said that this patrol is right up with the benchmark performance the oscar winning performance of mel street in the eye and lady which is certainly saying something, isn't it? and you'll be on the couch on sunday and i certainly won't. so we're live. oh, well, we'll look forward. let's look forward to obviously in season 4 of the crowned more seasons coming after this. i'm assuming yes, absolutely. 2 more serious, 5 and 6. so we've got lots to look forward to on netflix from sunday, november 15th season 4 of the crown. thanks very much for joining me. adrian
5:50 pm
kennedy. thank you. well, as the 1st studio movie to resume for adoption during the pandemic, duran world dominion recently managed to wrap up production, having gone through some 40000 covert $900.00 tests and rigorous sequestering and monitoring of its cast and crew. well, it's just one illustration of the massive challenges facing the film industry in the covert era, as now even screenwriters grapple with how to write around distancing requirements . sebastiano andre likes to listen to classical music. while he writes, this is that's how he gets his best ideas. the mcgregor one stumbles into the room with a bloody nose. do you have a fight? i don't know. creative has never been harder.
5:51 pm
you have to do. i told you i would sort claudio out myself. darling, come here. he cruised, she kisses him. some the alarm kissing is not allowed. there's a global pandemic going on. now. ok, so andre, my, it's not really have a siren on his desk, but he does have to take a number of issues into account and just script accordingly. of course, i could minimize the risk by simply not having any kissing scenes at all. but it makes more sense to really consider whether a scene is relevant or necessary to decide whether kissing and other physical contact are really necessary. it used to be everywhere on the screens. now with the corona virus writers are having to summon all the skills of imagination. the us attorney suffered and i'd live,
5:52 pm
came up with one solution. remember the situation is in fact, genuinely alarming. there's no, you know, some film directors are already addressing the pandemic in the films. this canadian thriller is about the panic that ensued when the virus 1st emerged. but in sebastian andres next film, nobody will be wearing a face mask. you want to see an actor's facial expression, and you want to have all the emotions. that's why we're unlikely to be seeing lots of pandemic films, even though it's
5:53 pm
a collective and global experience. there won't be too many people wearing masks on our screens. he believes people want to see films which give them comfort comfort that's in short supply because of physical distancing roles. 4 the invincible gets, now, we're desperate for human contact at the moment of contact and dimension for people are still partying because it's a fundamental need. and i think all of this is seeping into creative minds and we'll see a reaction because this is going to change the world for sure. until it's clear how the situation pans out screenwriters are playing itself. doesn't kiss well now we look to a time when physical closeness and intimacy wasn't as problematic as it is today,
5:54 pm
unless you were a same sex. couple. a new book entitled loving is a collection photographs spanning from roughly 852950, all of them moving testimonies to men in love, shot in about 10 countries. well, some are just snapshots, others more formal portraits. and the collection has a story that's equally compelling. her gaze that speaks volumes, it's present in all of these photos spanning the decades. back to the 19th century, the they were collected by married couple, hugh, nini, and neil treadwell. the 2 were immediately enchanted by each of the photos. starting with the 1st one, they found totally by accident at an antique store, with a group or a box of photos just to give. one of them was a photograph of a male couple who work in their eyes said
5:55 pm
that there's probably something more here than friendship. there's a lot of little of the shroud or something special that pointed out to us. you know, we were to the thought of the thought of a pack and asked several were the same and thought it was an expensive. and we didn't think we would ever see another one more. but they were wrong about that because there was a treasure in their home of new york just waiting to be discovered by the parents. they found not just one more photo but 2800. the search for old photos of gay couples became their hobby. their collection grew and it was the owner of an antique store who gave them an idea as he paged through their albums. when he got to the last page of the 2nd album, he just turned to me and worked with this kind of austrac work. and he said he cast published so they published a photo book titled simply loving. and that is exactly what these photos show as
5:56 pm
different as these couples are sailors, civilians in the countryside or soldiers. they're all captured at moments of happiness. and the photos are snapshots of courage. at the time, many of them were taken, homosexual acts were still illegal in some us states, even punishable by death in some places. to collectors now, however, 11 the fiqh photo album stored in their safe to keep and i thought safe corner to make sure that nothing happens to them. because something with last of that long 4 legs for that can last forever 70 years. ready ready my hope is that people who know better why that man this book will give them some hope. this

hundreds often use in my comments where i come from abroad your remains an important new soft transmitting nuance and for a mish. and when i was young, my country was in the drawing conference. the more prominent people, most people would gods of our own drudgery to see if one's mind which all too true in one off the lot of just say so thought everyone in the calm, cool, and nice and tones of days. nothing has been from inside my known codea to enjoy months or more of them so long, even if it's not by us, i was a twit and for all my choices in this cognition,
5:59 pm
if i was given their way told, transmitted to the troops, men in the gosh, mom much and i would get up the something nice for entire scream, for jurors or dealing with anyone at all. they killed many civilians. i mean, the irish coming, including my father was such i was a student because i wanted to build a life for myself like these totally but suddenly life became knowledge kind of solved providing insights, global news that matters. d. w. . i'm not laughing because sometimes i am nothing with the news. but take this drama.
