the weekly radio show is called spectrum. if you would like any information on the crown of irish or any other science topic, you should really check out our talk. ask you, were you get your parkour can also follow us and science. this is steve. every news africa coming up on the program, d.-day in ethiopia, a 72 hour deadline for to grab forces to surrender expires. these civilians have heeded the call to flee the northern region in order to save their lives. as people pull into neighboring sudan by the thousands, the international community is pleading with ideas to end the conflict and pursue dialogue in state. and on the international day for the elimination of violence against women, we meet the kenyans, rape survivors,

helping other women heal. that's the cape town restaurant that holds the world record for having the widest variety of milkshake flavors will give you the scoop on how many they have. hello, i'm christine wonder. it's good to have you company. if you, his prime minister made is rejection. growing international calls for dialogue and today the fighting in the northern to grind region. this as a 72 hour was surrender ultimatum. his government gave the t.p.o. . if leadership expires, communications remain almost completely cut off to the to grad region, which is home to about 6000000 people. but we have a look inside of the tunnel, which bears cause off the fighting. it's not what

a farming town should look like in the middle of harvest season. in ethiopia, region is largely deserted. and this is why heavy shelling hit the town. as the ethiopian army rule in forcing out fighters loyal to the to grab people's liberation front. most civilians fled during the clashes as their homes were peppered with bullets and shrapnel. those who remained take stock of events we didn't expect shelling. suddenly, we started to hear war weapons explosions. and then people panicked that much i couldn't leave my house. i was terrified when i got not everyone walked away unscathed. these women were wounded in the crossfire and that was a thriving town before now. many residents have since crossed the nearby border into

sudan. so that's one, whatever town it was on the verge of development. but now we have been brought back to living hand to mouth because of an unnecessary war, but more so than ever the fighting, similar to what happened in who continues further east of here towards to grace capital. where the international community warns more civilians could be at risk. i'm now joined by journalist samuel get to show he is in the ethiopian capital ideas. good to see you, samuel. we have just seen this report who made but there is still a blackout across the to gride region. what do we know about those civilians who are still in what we know is very little. we focus

on reports that are coming in from organizations that respected to tell us we needed information by thought information because we cannot travel there. but we know poor fact that the ethiopian army is very close to my colleagues in the suburbs, michaeli. and they're heading, taking over the city, and that is the capital to go, which is at the port and he was a population of well over $500000.00. and you have to build, if you're going to replace was not counted in 2007, but it might even be much higher than the people are going to continue to be affected by the conflict. and it's just an overwhelmingly sided, you know, we lost count, reproduce that are going to more than 40000. there are many people that i've been unaccounted for yesterday add. there was a u.n.

security council meeting at this would be change day on the to graduation. this also can as international community precious at this avodah to try to stop the fighting and proceed dialogue instead. what came out of that security council meeting? it was postponed. they wanted to hear from the african union delegation that are supposed to be going to coming to the suburbs and to strike the prime minister of ethiopia. that you will be speaking to them. but there won't be room for any kinds of negotiations. because according to these children, the cuban government side, exhausted all kinds of mediation, and they feel been side feel they feel by government by still they've come out and so on the military power. but it's very important that will force the leadership to cuban and have the government get into mccully and take over

oppy people. any people the ability supporting this operation? it's a crime. i think it's who you are in the open people, sympathy, supporters. there are many people that are giving blood, the members of the army, they feel that army. there are many people that make donating life books. but there are also invisible victims. people who live with families in the 3rd grade region who are not able to speak to the family, to their family members. i had a conversation with a young 125 is positive, was sick, and he was being provided a basic medicine from by december. and all of a sudden he's not able to send the medication to, to go. but there are thousands of these kinds of stories all over the country all over the summer. and there are invisible candidates actually, that is out of the thank you. thank you.

today the world's putting a spotlight on the women and girls being subjected to violence on this year's international day for the elimination of violence against women statistics show the call that i had to make has seen abuse against women rise shoppy now in kenya activists say isolation jury in the pandemic is making women even more vulnerable. now data is interest, matar sent us a report from robi about survivors determined to help and heal of the survivors. eliminating has never depended on anyone, survived, except herself. together with a group of women she makes and sells being a part time to feed her family you for. but this is not 5 years ago when she vigil is about to attack happened up until then she had been a silent survivor,

group and mystic. it's only that i was right by my stepfather's employee when we went to visit a family relative. i was young then and i remember my mother taking me to the court where i was asked to identify the perpetrator. later on, i was shocked to see the guy released seeing the perpetrator, little lose left with a permanent one, but she kept it afraid of stigma and being something that is common in her village . i was always wary of boys after the incident. i didn't want to see any man, not even my brothers my grandma really helped me through that journey, supporting me through the process. now years later, in an unlikely place, she has found solace in a group of women who have all experienced the similar predicament of being sexually violated. in the last 12 months, 243000000,

women and girls across the world have been subjected to sexual or physical violence by an intimate partner in neighborhoods like these sexual domestic world. but one woman was willing to change the norm by sharing her story. one country was a victim of sexual violence, she's now using her experience to remove the stigma and help survivors access ecological and legal help. informal settlements across kenya went through a traumatic experience, hours of effort in the challenges that i faced during that i think is what informed their establishment of a foundation. looking at how the community looks at them was been affected, we shifted their billing today as being a limited. instead he said of calling their a patriot,

or one believes the number of women affected through domestic and sexual violence could be well above 5 percent. fueled by the pandemic in very wide to up to something that is hard and their figures will change because also, they sure will maintain pandemic has actually created an environment where cases of increased. now she's hoping to change the narrative one to help these women sit a peanut, but to business and the place to openly talk about their issues. when we all meet at the same time, one thing we have in common is that we were all right or underwent violent panga comments. he said, we can talk about this support each other's businesses. maybe

it's a decision that helps you believe in and others like you. and if 2020 has left you feeling a little short on options, then one restaurant in cape town is the place for years, specially if you have that's because it holds the guinness world record for the widest variety of milkshakes. no tele mascarpone oriel cheesecake. there are plenty of milkshake flavors available at gibson's gourmet burgers and chips in cape town. in fact, this restaurant offers $207.00 varieties that's a world record, and it had to be very fired all at once in a process that took 5 hours and 20 minutes. as each new trick came up, it was numbered, and my job was to make sure that our had the list of ingredients of each of those

ingredients were in. so i could verify that those ingredients were, are good tasting in the 2 judges, then tasted the truth. so how do you come up with so many options of shakes? the creators say the inspiration is all around. the one i was when i travelled by minibus taxi, i noticed people eating chocolates my lunch by bar one. when i realized there is a good idea here, i tried making a milkshake mixing all of those together with peanut butter, crunch all bar one to make that. and it's delicious. with the customers having sampled the shakes, you can take their word for it to have. but i think that i'm drinking a chocolate peppermint milkshake. and they've got one of the biggest varieties of milkshakes in the world. and i think it's amazing that every time we come there is so much to choose from. you can try something different each time. so it's really

nice for me. so with what's on offer, there's a flavor for every sweet tooth. i don't know about you, but i have been left with a craving. that is a t.v. news africa today. be sure to check out the stories and come forward slash africa. we're also on facebook and on twitter. we'll see you next up like today. don't miss our highlights. program w dot com highlights sleep carefully simply to the

she extends her lead as the most nominated female artist of all time. of course the grammy controversy with by be on say is how many grammy she goes on to win. she does have $24.00 free grammys already, but she was nominated so many times in the past, so missed out 47 times, and sometimes in that big status categories. instantly husband jay z. is now tied with legendary producer quincy jones as the most nominated male artist. but the gender gap is closing, and he's only won a head of beyond safe nomination. he has 80, she has 7, you know, so she's catching up pretty quite without is what if i were to look at. but in general, this is really a female dominated year of nominations this major, that's right. for the 1st time ever female lineups in the rock performance and country album categories. and the 2nd most nominated artist is who other than

taylor swift or swift. most of those for the us stars, a claimed album, folks with or slightly more introspective album, which was written and recorded in lockdown. it's a contender for album of the year. track kartik in which we can take a listen to is in the frame for single of the year. i will listen. they need to clean that piano. egeria and date also has 6 nominations, and women also dominate the best new artist category. in the stallion is probably

the front runner in that field where i think we've got actually footage of maggie in the stallion finding out she had won. she got her 1st grammy nomination with your 1st ever grammy nominations. they were just some other fields of congrats. you're feeling good very happy and there's also another nomination that's making history agent. tell us about that. yes, the south korean boy band to be t. ass can be seen here. reacting to the 1st grammy nomination for a k. pop acts, the hit song dynamite's was nominated for the best pop group performance. the band's 1st all in a single top. the u.s. charts in oldest. and the fans have said that the goal to complete the american journey with a grammy win. so another thing to watch out for all. so they're not going to be

happy with just a nomination. ok, so that's the nominees. it's not just about the nominees, though it's also a lot of talk about who didn't get nominated. tell us about the snubs. that's right . well, the biggest surprise is the admission of the canadian singer, known as the week. and now you probably heard the song blinding lights,, it topped the charts around the world. and in the u.s., it's considered by many to be the sound of the past year. and i'm sure viewers will recognize. i wish i could get a headache from the critically acclaimed after hours album and not stop 1600000000 listings on a popular streaming sites 10 times as many as tell us, which scotty can convert it into 0 nominations. and

he's not your happy about that. i imagine he's not happy at school and he's tweeted about it. think we can take a look at what he said. the grammys remain corrupt. you owed me my fans and the industry transparency sense of entitlement. ok, so this being some speculation that this is about the fact that he's playing the half time at the super bowl a few days after the grammys, and that negotiations for him to perform at the grammys, became a bit contentious. the grammys have tonight this. but this is been a topic in the past. the idea that if you perform at the grammys, then you are more likely to get the nominations. wow, that's quite an allegation. well, the grammys will be held on january 31st without the we can't drink out of another . it's a lot like you. when moria europe's biggest refugee camp

went up in flames and september, magnum photographer, and ritz was there to capture it. has been documenting the lives of asylum seekers for years as work and grease for human faces to stories of desperation. at a time when the approaching winter and the continuing coronavirus crisis make the situation of unsettled migrants even more precarious than ever. since a few days before a new covert, 1000 lockdown took effect and return, i was out taking photos. victoria square has become a makeshift home for many migrants who fled the fire on the island of moria. they've been granted asylum seekers status. the creases new asylum laws mean they're left to their own devices. they're no longer entitle to any government support or shelter, making their situation even worse. sinai has been documenting their fates for years . and he can relate to them because when he was a child,

he and his family fled albania, and lived for a time without documentation in athens. the magnum photographer has made refugees and migrants the focus of his work. when fire broke out at the camp in moria, he headed there mama, i remember the exhaustion and the fear in their eyes. but i also saw hope there. morea would finally be over and it would finally get better. like the day after the fire, one of the girls, i photographed 12 year old money from afghanistan, organized a protest march. first, there were just 20 other children, but then the march will be bigger. people just want it off the island. it's a fluke of the, of the photographer is a kind of anchor for some here. also from afghanistan by this masses will be far

fewer than a bomb. and when i told her that i'd be leaving again in a few days, she suddenly turned to me and said, before you leave, say goodbye to us. and i almost cried before you leave, say goodbye to us. it's also the title of his planned photo book. dedicated to the people whose living situation he's been documenting since 2015 companies, some of them to germany and sweden and his photos also depict their arrival. unsettling. it was encouraging to see that a lot of the people who had made it to that point are now standing on their own 2 feet. and that they were able to start a new life to see how much to give in athens and return. i will keep documenting

the migrants from the morea camp in their efforts to survive. he wants them to have a chance to cowboy stories of the american old west have long held a special place here in europe. think spaghetti western, it's all those cowboy movies, shot in italy. then there's lucky only the comic character known as the man who, shoots faster than his shadow. he 1st appeared in belgium in the 1940, s., and is still popular today. over the years lucky work spent translated into dozens of languages and appeared in movies and video games with more than 300000000 issues sold. lucky, luke is the most successful western themed comic series ever. the books are currently illustrated by down on top of his home in southern france. isn't the wild west, but it does give him some inspiration for his comics. using

the pen name dominant all started drawing the comic nearly 2 decades ago. the series was created in 1946 by the belgian illustrator, maurice, and he chose ash, did it take over drawing the tales of the lonesome crime fighting cowboy a daunting challenge him on this in the beginning, i asked him if i could spend 6 months practicing appeared 1st i wasn't happy with my drawings. only after i'd done 3 comic books did i feel confident enough to say, i'm the lucky luke cartoonist. who does, you know, took a cue. asterix creator really got sunni, wrote the story starting in 1955 since his death in 1977 other it was traitors have taken over. the last 3 books were written by julian. he says it's important to maintain lucky lukes original charm, but he wants to tell new stories. it has to make sense and mean

something. today the lucky luke we publish has to be faithful to the tradition. but it also has to be comics they couldn't have made back there for one thing the new comics are more diverse. the latest edition costars a black, cowboy for the 1st time. he's based on historical figures and covered in his 4 years of research for the golf advancement. but i found out that 25 percent of cowboys were black, and that the vast majority of the others were hispanic. so the john wayne style, blond, cowboy, with blue eyes that hollywood sold us for decades is pure fiction. i don't, that's what this comic is about. it confronts racism in america, the hard tragic issues of slavery. there still humor and action because it's still lucky. luke next year. more socially aware,

more diverse. but still lucky, luke. the duo of them are working on the next story for a special edition of the series $100.00 issue. that's it for now, but don't forget to check us out online at d.f.w. dot com slash culture. you can also find d.w. culture on twitter and facebook to

maradona. would you tom good or who's here with me? we could hear their, i think the law emotion, this man man, so much for an entire nation. so talked about us about the illustrious career that was diego maradona yet. well maradona, of course, a sublime talent on a player who won trophies in many different countries in europe here, of course, notably in italy where he led not played their 1st ever italian championship in 1970 and their 2nd, a few years later in 1990. before that of course, a world cup winner with argentina in you 6 at a tournament where maradona produced feats of footballing magic. probably a familiar to every football fan around the world. whether they were not born yet, lot myself or whether they saw them happening live in front of them. i think everybody can conjure the images of maradona dribbling positive about 6 or 7 players in the england team in the cold falling on that day and slowing it pasta

keeper. you know, there are very many players in football who have achieved and who will achieve probably more than diego maradona in terms of trophies in the game. but they will never be remembered in the same way because it's the singular talent of diego maradona that really makes him a figure. you know the, the figure of such devotion for people in argentina, of course, in naples and in very many other places around the world. an extraordinary footballer. for all the reasons and more who was also tongue minted and struggled with personal demons. yes, of course, it was during diego maradona's years playing for nothing in italy where he developed a taste of alcohol and for drug abuse, which what he told his playing career ended up getting him banned on a couple of occasions and, you know, stayed with him in subsequent years of his life as well. you know, when i was on the left, napoli, he left, i think it's fair to say under a bit of a cloud. after the 1st ban,

he was hounded by fee for those memories. don't really smear, the kind of image of the eigen are done and the reverence that he's held in by neapolitans today, even more histories of napoli and find, you know, shrines to the player he's genuinely, really regarded as a saint in that city. and is the singular talent i mentioned, which is why people love him as they do. and i believe the italian prime minister has also already a reacted as well. talk to us about what made maradona so magical. it's partly the kind of effortless control of the football liquid movement around the pitch. you know, those, those moments that just, you know, part of footballing folklore luck. i said that go against england. woke up in 1906 and of course the one that preceded it, the hand of god. yeah. you know, those things are just the fabric of the history of football. and like i said, everybody, every football supports you know, whether they saw him or not, i think can very easily conjure in front of themselves. the pictures of diego

maradona running around a football pitch, just because he was such a singularly talented player. and when he produced heroics for argentina, you know, a country so passionate about the game and of course, for napoli in ecstasy, this passion, that's why he really is a titanic figure in the history of football. but is he, i mean, he dominated international for one is kind of a really unfair question to, to put you or to put to you. but is he the greatest footballer of all time? yet he's regarded as very many people as very, very many people by very many, you know, very knowledgeable people, people who don't need to qualify their opinions as one of the greatest players, if not the greatest player of all time. essentially that i think is a bit of an open question. he was actually voted for the 1st of the century of, of the the guys got injury. illness saw a brazilian legend pele said, i think it depends who you are. but like i say, what really matters is the memories that everybody has of diego maradona, the moments of magic that he produced. and you know,

wherever you fall on the question of whether he was a, wasn't the greatest of all time. you have to admit that he's in the contention and unforgettable absolutely had to do. you have used tom can i thank you so much, greatly appreciate it. and for our viewers, just tuning in is a short reminder of the top story that we're tracking for. you. arjen. time football legend, the a go madonna has died at the age of 60 after suffering a heart attack at his home. and when i say it is modeled on a underwent surgery for a bleed on the brain earlier this month, he's widely regarded by football fans around the world as one of the greatest players of all time. german chancellor angela merkel and regional leaders are meeting via video conference to consider changes to the partial lockdown that went into effect at the start of november. while they are looking for an approach that could allow the

country to ease restrictions ahead of the coming holiday season. a number of new covert infections, meanwhile, has leveled off this month. but health departments have now reported a record of 410 covert related deaths in the last 24 hours or reports indicate authorities could extend the partial lockdown until just before christmas. expecting an announcement from chancellor merkel and now and as we wait to hear from the chancellor, let's turn to do. you have used the political editor, their michela, the chancellor expected to hold a press conference an hour ago or hours ago, almost is this a sign that they're still struggling with finding common ground? absolutely, and we don't really expect that to be about the big overarching question of whether more restrictions need to be put into place. so to facilitate some kind of easing

around christmas, my understanding is that this is about nitty gritty details on who pays for what. and of course, it's once again sending the signal that the government is struggling to really find a common line that many people so crave. what we have learnt already is that there will be new tighter restrictions when it comes to christmas shopping from the 1st of december. that would mean that people also have to wear masks outside of socks, but also get more space inside and some 20 square meters for customers in larger shops, 10 square meters in smaller sops. that's already been criticized by the industry as potentially hampering that crucial christmas shopping period. at the same time, it will mean that germans weren't all simply turned online to do their christmas shopping, leaving get more revenue and with the likes of amazon. well, mainly amazon actually one has to say and the big question mark seems to be who

pays for additional provisions like extra school buses when it comes to schooling with a clear priority of not just keeping shops open, but also keeping schools and kindergartens open. that's what we know so far, but we're 5 hours into what seems to be a very intense debate. 5 hours. why do restrictions need to be tech now? because germany wants to avoid slipping into the territory of exponential growth, where basically it means that the pandemic in the spread of the pandemic would be out of control through those measures we've seen in place for the past couple of weeks, demi has reverted back to lower infection rates at the same time. today we've seen a record 410 people reported dead in corona related deaths. one has to add,

that's the highest figure we've seen so far. so the consensus is it's way too early to say we can ease off. and the other consensus is there has to be some kind of relief for the public around that crucial christmas new year period. thank you so very much from a killer corner reporting and i remind her of the top story that we're tracking for you this very hour arjen time football legend, diego maradona has died at the age of 60 after suffering a heart attack at his home. and when a scientist modano underwent surgery for a blood clot on him, his brain earlier this month is widely regarded by football fans as one of the greatest players of all time and regional or german regional leaders meeting tonight are expected to extend coronavirus along down measures into december and possibly the new year destructions will be loosened up to allow for all of

a gatherings new measures are set to be announced. hopefully in the next hour you're watching the telly news live from boro land on leyla. rock. stick around ferguson is up next with your business headlines, and i hope to see you tomorrow. w.'s crime fighters are back with africa's most successful radio drama series continues through the olympus odes are available online. course you can share and disco song w.f. because facebook and other social media platforms, crime fighters, tune in. now. what's the secret to this classic music, the sound,

or the story behind the music, just before the insurance. richest cause beethoven's 9th symphony for the world starts to simmer down on g.w. on the rebound as countries around the world pin their hopes on a covert. nineteen's vaccine is turning to recovery, kenya could be a poster child for economic resilience. the world bank is forecasting growth of 7 per cent next year. also coming up, it's a company that symbolizes china's growing technological minds. but concerns about spying have tarnished twa ways international reputation. just

thinks of storing, transporting, and distributing a covert 19 vaccine. we introduce the companies on the forefront of the operation of business on k. ferguson. thanks for joining me. the pandemic has plunged much of the world into the biggest economic crisis since the great depression. but with a vaccine seemingly around the corner, the talk now is turning to recovery. and one country that's expected to bounce back fost is kenya. the world bank is expecting the country's economy to contract by up to one and a half percent this year. so it's forecasting a rebound next year with growth of almost 7 percent bust. the institution did warn that the outlook could change if there's a coronavirus research in the country. so what's behind this apparent resilience left correspondent, joy during nairobi. hi joe. joy, good to see you. tell me what is driving this for cause of a rebound?

looking at the report by the world bank back is saying this rebound could be occasioned by and normalization of the education sector, which is likely to raise the g.d.p. by an extra 2.2 percent. but given kenya's group at the moment is just only growing by just one percent. giving why dineen of g.d.p. at 6.9 percent or just just about 7 percent is nothing short of a miracle. if this happens, it is likely going to be supported by the resilience services sector, hard to culture and jewellery culture as well as manufacturing. but this is likely going to be a miracle. also, we are looking at the fact that when you look at the availability of the, of the vaccine, it could also play a part in getting kenya's economy to rebound,

who are rapidly don't expect. given the fact that kenya's economy only grew by 5.7 percent before because of it expecting it to widen its g.d.p. by 6.9 percent is really an exceptionally optimistic view from the world bank. ok, so a bit of a reality check that joy the reindeer. i thank you so much for your insights. over the past year or 2, china's huawei has become a household name. it's the world's biggest smartphone maker, but it's better known as a leader in a 5 g. technology. that's the new generation of mobile networking that would enable technology from self driving cars to so-called smart cities. but many countries, especially in the united states, are concerned about the company's links to the chinese government and fair its technology could be used for spying. they don't is that richard walker reports.

today, we're bringing 5 g. to i follow the next generation of mobile communications ease here. apple and google have both jumped top 5 with their latest. but it's the chinese giant. whoa, wait, it's the biggest player in building to fight the networks they will depend on. and that has got many experts worried. there's a big concern that the company itself might build in vulnerabilities into code that cannot be discovered very easily. and these vulnerabilities seem accidental or might seem accidental, but in fact, they might be there on purpose or even if they are accidental and they had find them afterwards. the company could exploit them. the company, not because of its own interests, but because it might be forced by the chinese government to do so on, depending that concern is the fact that is a chinese company way is ultimately subject to the authority of china's ruling

communist party. huawei insists that there are no back doors in its equipment and that it has no noticeable ties with the chinese government. we spoke to his chief representative here in holland has no special relations. so is i mean government compared to any other private campaigning across the word that we used their government? and that is a fact. but why waste found wrenching fay has personally been a member of the communist party since the 1970 s. . and experts say the party's power over full chinese firms is in trying to lure you into the national intelligence. it's so early now it's 7 says that all chinese people and organizations including companies, must support

a system cooperate with a national intelligence gathering. now the same law also says that people and organizations that must maintain secrecy, this requirement and over these activities, disagree and state power over chinese companies is what creates the greatest anxiety into your opinion, capitals, especially in the light of china's increasingly authoritarian behavior. so while his role in 5 g. networks is a huge topic of debate in the united states and here in europe. but how is the company viewed in africa to find out? i'm joined now by moses aqua founder and c.e.o. after link. most of us are african governments governments worried about huawei thanks for having me. yes, there are definitely work for weight. why? because while we are being a key player in implementing or any stalling for structures when it comes to 4 g.

. so there is a little bit of consent when it is same time just like we've always had relationships and partnerships. now, african governments are looking at how best they can actually come out around this issue. because festival was they need to make sure that they keep this growth, which is the technology to advancement that is happening in the continent. but at the same time, make sure that they can actually protect themselves when it comes to this data privacy that is not being on. fortunately, observed by well, wave babies and all the scientists we are gathering the business. we know that way is actually a leader in this 5 g. technology. does that a face, any competition in africa? moment? i would say it doesn't much as we would expect, because when you look at the likes of north erickson, it is quite expensive. and where you look at what way it is affordable, it's assessable, anything goes through areas. and so they're rolling out of 5 g. . you see what we are leading contender. but at the same time,

i think that what is currently happening is that i think that some of the, although the stations or institutions are beginning to lend from the way where we have done business. and we know again from the i.m.f. that the projection for internet penetration in internet economy is going to about 1c1x8bb. and then it will even increase 4 times in 25 years. so definitely a no increase in the way of doing business with africa. but again, there is no doubt that while weighs the leading contender. now in opera, moses, thank you so much for your insights. thank you. now to some of the other business stories making news. germany's rail operator deutsche bahn is on track for a record loss this year. as the 2nd wave of covert 19, it leads to a major decline in passenger numbers. a leading germany's paper is putting the, expected loss at 5600000000 euros this year. as a c.e.o.,

but some medications are particularly sensitive to heat and must be stored at minus 75 degrees. otherwise, the vaccine won't work. the demand for ultra low temperature freezers, such as those produced by the german firm, has increased dramatically in the past few weeks. is an export, or a business that's focused on export? 80 percent of our products are sold outside of germany, but we have been exporting, since the company was founded 37 years ago. the focus always was on exports. we're professionals and can deliver to every place in the world. when did you know that a freezer, like this costs up to 20000 euros, and can store around 45000 glass bottles? both bender and shop are well prepared to ramp up production for the global vaccine rolled out of the flu. and finally, if 2020 is left you feeling a little short on got phenomenal oftens, a restaurant in cape town in south africa, could be the place for you. it sounds gourmet, ferguson,
