7:34 pm
but it is us are important. i tell you that incumbent prison germans have any we understand from the communion reports that he's got been a growing awareness month. you will see now the politico. other candidates will suspend it. they are campaigns in solidarity with the book. he went there once the police to release will do a new presenting to the course of my size, who can speak, who has come. veins are suspended and even i've had some of the praise that you're going to suspend if he has but presidential him said it incumbent is continuing with his complaints and interrogated ingenius. looking at that footage, we literally watch security office offices, fire live rounds of protest, as is the response to dissent by you amos seventies government intensifying. i could say that what you saw happening, what happened to book you on the a couple of other cases it's happened in the us just like that. and the opposition hylas strongly come out, strongly come out to condemn this, including human rights activist groups. they want state governments,
7:35 pm
they wanted police to be seen, but he's and, but the police say that this force in very low every time to make these hours this and forcing that no end of a we've actually just received a statement from that ministry of information that many states calling on a u.s. not to join those freighting, that gent protests and give us a short distance. and again, if we hear a lot about bobbie, why that and you weigh in with 70. but what about at that candidates in the opposition? do any of them have significant support? i would say that the house again, if you've got some poet, i don't want to make a judgment, but bookie going when you look at the crowds president, you're missing out. but the way for some reason they seem to stand out as their leader kind of it's who and seems to be the leading candidate and opposition side. because we need to see when he goes places where you go, right? it gets people following him, it's others a quickly getting people who are following them,
7:36 pm
but for now you could create it. oh, that's many of them looking at that. it's just judging from that. it's just but like i sayed in a previous interview, the crowds following your main, the miss ailie lead to a post button. you want to make it just makes you think it sets you up with you and he's in there. they'd be praised that you're in a city comes to bringing crowds together and, and what is at stake in this election tunis? i think what is at stake to settle it is they are us and thought the young foot has every kind to do towards the young person's foot because these are the jury see if you how the mt prefer to play tennis. i have you go through. so all the money fish goes, all people, all kind of disappearing to confuse the end people to give them there. but the opposition is sitting in the attitude where that's you know, what if i did not feel there is that your absence, many of the empty people i've never seen that lead to a nice seeing their time is not a good place in terms of a doubt. that prison was heaven, he has told young people that has the money,
7:37 pm
the right decision and the experience to secure their future. but both you and i know that know it gets its get in line out quickly. janet, do these young people and that is an electric, have faith in the democratic process being free and failed? talking about face? does it very big question and really a great day best people who support president, jeremy 70 people supports that ruling government too, or tell you that they trusted democratic process. but people with a political position, especially supporters of will be going to follow what he said, scrapes to would be. one has already told these people that he has no cost. it is a democratic process, but he has told them regardless of that, they should wake up in the morning in general, ari to cross the up. but it's at that what much as they challenge him across the process issues go on the floor. so the question of faithful is on the way as someone steps crepes, those subscribe to the opposition? think right. did them across the president's reality up on those supporting government? say this is the right thing to do and it's the upright. ok, j.s.

7:39 pm
totally different in they are really armed with, with no place they sit with them. they shoot. if they want to sue they want to get in, you are in their way. they should, it's why we've got this particular from the police. someone who's been vomiting or not since the morning has called for an ambulance. the paramedics have been waiting at the police station for an hour. so the police are going out of their prices to put up with this because i don't know what's going to happen. violence has been escalating for years at the cape flats, which are located at the edge of the city gang, see a fight over control of drugs. it's also about power. the police are overwhelmed, gangs can easily recruit young people because of high unemployment and few job opportunities. once the paramedics arrive, they quickly bundled the patient into the ambulance. for security reasons, the patient will only be treated once in hospital. the next emergency call to
7:40 pm
shortly after the area where we're going are so it's also red. no doubt. the red zone means only with police accompany meds more and more patients find they're having to wait in vain now for ambulances, because there's not enough police to always is called paramedics. this time the police are already at the scene right in the middle of a heavy congested slum. a man has been shot to death. paramedics can't help, but you can see the body right here. and literally one or 2 meters away is the shack where family of 5 lives with 3 kids. i'm scared, i'm scared to even tonight, you know, want to see, you know, i'm going to go to hell. that's in the sun. i'm going to sleep. that's not. i don't want to leave this place like these from paramedics, connie bender, fills out the victim's declaration of death and all too regular occurrence for him

7:50 pm
feeding the sun and listening to the counter of nature in a space designed by an artist to show off that goes down to a depth of 200 meters. the sound of the rocks shifting below, amplified through loudspeakers. nature as the object of art. and as an all encompassing power, which we cannot escape, this relationship is central to the experience of the museum. the biggest of its kind, anywhere in the world stretched over 300000 square meters, modern art park landscape and rain forest merge into a unique hole. the nature here, functions like drops that drain the membrane as you go from artwork to artwork. we
7:51 pm
don't have these massacres that you sometimes encounter in galleries or traditional museums where you see one artwork after another. and you just can't digest it all at your garden. infinite reflected images of the viewer, driven through the landscape by the wind. after months of lockdown, the museum has finally reopened and offers a sense of freedom. and is this an ambience here, has relaxed us a bit and lifted the weight that's been upon us. it's like an escape from the chaos of the pandemic out here. you have the feeling that everything is ok, that the baby, the destruction of nature is here, confined to a glass dome. this wax mold of an up rooted truly past weapons penetrating it. progress and destruction go hand in hand in the rain forest. did you catch?
