i'll be back as always at the top of the hour. stay with the doctor. i'm not laughing at the germans, because sometimes i am, but i said nothing with the town. but i don't think deep into the german culture. you don't seem to take this groundhog day out. thus it's all that they know. i'm right. so join me for me to get bundled up post to be told it is for me

is for a children is for me, is for beethoven is for beethoven is for every man on beethoven 2020, 150th anniversary. here on these patients had coronavirus more than 6 months. ago to this day, they have not recovered their health. it was like a switch was flipped and my body was replaced. the healthy one was taken away and i was given a sick one. officially medical experts say they've recovered,

but many continue to suffer from the effects of the disease before the virus they were fit and healthy just a little so i didn't really think that the virus posed a threat to me personally. the stomach, i should have the highly going down clinic is located in northern germany on the baltic sea 40 patients suffering from long term complications because of coping 1000 are being treated here. peggy grain is 48 years old and contracted the virus in march. she barely noticed the illness as she had so few symptoms. she's only begun to suffer from the effects of the disease recently. pretty confident. i only became really ill months later in june. when yeah, at the time i thought that everything would eventually be fine. but things didn't

improve as a whole. i was extremely ill for many, many weeks, which turned into months and i never got better yet come give easily. and this is what unleashed besa located directly by the water surrounded by salty sea air. the clinic in highland dam is one of 3 in germany that treats people with corona related diseases. peggy grain is still struggling with the aftermath of the illness. some torn my primary symptoms of physical weakness and total exhaustion. body aches and business has been that i've had this for a very long time. extreme dizziness and poor concentration. and in some cases i have cognitive difficulties, fast, and i experienced poor hearing vision. and i can follow conversations. well,

father none have a secret . straub is 49 years old. her diagnosis was particularly severe. she barely survived a 3 week coma. i being unable to recall anything of this period in her life is particularly distressing for her. i wish i was just by the fact that i was so seriously ill. and when i woke up from the coma i had to realize i'm lucky i was to be alive and living. it says i, yes, i feel so different from before the illness because my muscles a week from lying down for such a long time was a hole in the top. it's taking

a lot of effort to rebuild my whole musculature. it's an assault to move the needle, and i thought i also announced on this machine, i was many postcode patients say that doctors aren't taking their symptoms seriously. they're suffering from stigmatize ation. peggy grain has also experienced this several times. this is very difficult for doctors to understand when they look at me. i look healthy physically, i'm reasonably strong. at least i peers here. and then you get dismissed very quickly. they say the mind is not ok. dr. your does from hold is the chief physicians in the rehabilitation clinic. she's

actually a specialist in pulmonary diseases, but she knows that many patients suffer from more than that on their desk. that as of, as of a good thing, it's one of the guys dr from hold with secret regularly to discuss her progress. i guess i'll start this. they talk about how secret is responding to various forms of exercise and therapies. how she's adjusting to medication and changes in her sleeping patterns as this much actual has fluctuated while she was on an exercise machine. but at the moment it's nothing to be too concerned about. that sounds modest actually, and it helps to remember that compared to the rest of the world, germany already has a very capable rehab system. we have more treatments available to us, but the facilities that we have here don't exist in other european countries or the

rest of the world. we can do high quality medically selland rehabilitation. the most important thing is to recognise the rehab needs of our patients and to match them to the appropriate treatments that we have at the moment. see greed is on a small dose of medication that appears to be working well for her. and thankfully, her mental health is also improving. once again as he does, she tells dr from hold that one of the major attractions of the clinic was that patients can meet to discuss how they're all progressing after living with the long term affects of the disease. conversations like these are validating because patients can understand and empathize with one another in secret. find it extremely beneficial as if this was a trick, a sign patients

have gathered for another session to talk about their experiences. just go through it. it's intense after 2 and a half weeks. i feel like i can breathe more deeply. it's not clear why mr. death has anyone ever explained why it is so difficult for people like us to do things like go up the stats or uphill, particularly when it comes to going up the stairs. for my part, you have to actually must see a path explained it to me. when your pastor is relaxed, the whole chest area is compressed. so you only breathe in certain areas and not everything. and we slowly have to learn the correct posture to breathe. they go. i mean, i'm getting better at going up the stairs. i used to have to take a break on the 2nd floor. i live in the 3rd floor,

and now i can get there without taking a crack at a snail's pace, but so what have you hearing and cognitive abilities affected me and lots of good reading. i bet my husband's birthday cake during the summer with only half of the required ingredients. cox look at this one back to me. i wondered why the cake didn't rise. there was nothing in it, maybe half of what was needed, and i'm very experienced. i bake cakes every weekend on my let's just an example. i've also been experiencing extreme bouts of dizziness i've had vertigo for months . i was even dizzy in bed. i think i will have to accept that there will be ups and downs for a while on our journey is far from over. i'm

not afraid, but i still have this question in my head. will ever be the same again? this is shawn is always there. so this is, so that's my greatest wish to become more mentally stable again. so he gets a few horses to harness this is where i inhale. i ingest the sail and solution for 10 minutes almost every day. and it loosens the mucous membranes in the risk. ritchie tract, which makes it easier to cough up when i'm done. it feels like tearing my throat just as i'm all that breaks up the mucus more easily, so to speak, and it feels good. so it sounds to the patients, families are not allowed to visit the clinic for hygenic reasons. so secret straub

calls her family regularly only her daughter is home today. sigrid tells her about the agenda for the week. aquatic exercises, breathing exercises and functional training north evader, she learns that the weather is nice on the baltic sea. but back at home, life continues as it normally would hear her daughter's father result riding his bicycle. see greeds kids are going to school and preparing for their exams while they wait for their mother to get better or worse. despite being in the best of care, it's difficult being away from home or peggy grain has been in highly going down for 2 weeks. her therapy will last for 3 more her goal to be able to get back to her daily life again. i mean,

you live your life 5 days at work a weekend and so on for days to come and my life might be more intense than it was before us. on the one hand, i would like it to be like it was before after and on the other hand, the world is just falling apart because of the pandemic right now. at the moment, life is dramatically different for everyone. and maybe i can still manage to get a lot done. i'm sure that my recovery will allow me to my mother's and i think i will be a different person than i was before. but that's ok. when i think of the, my view on life has changed a lot because of this terrible illness. a near death experience changes your perspective a lot and makes you appreciate the simple things in life. family and friends are

very, very important. and so is health. it may sound mundane to others, but stay healthy. because when you've been so close to death, you learn to appreciate life in a completely different level. and you begin to value the importance of family and friends even more and wonder if i believe that i will carry around this year's experiences with me forever. and i can imagine i could just forget something like this. but i hope that these negative experiences which are still weighing heavily on me, will fade with time and eventually that more positive things will replace them. and i am still alive and i'm still here. and i can still enjoy life.

as a trader, a social worker rather than some intensely you meet stars soccer, it is often come from difficult social backgrounds. john gives them a task and a goal. i want to tell that image of interest to the 7 percent in central. they grew up in putin's russia because generation doesn't like to get into flames. what do they think you should be like when your blood in your open fights for peace, and is it unfair to do everything to achieve that? here they put you in prison for a shared post. russia,

the many else in the right of entry for what's in store for their futures. for the mega-cities. injure hello to you wherever you're watching from. welcome to a new edition of the 77 percent. the name is eddie micah, julia, and i'm honored to have your company today. this is what we've got for you on the show today. we check out that talent of some young aspiring football players in nigeria. we also have an exclusive interview

with the professional and the german born this week. and we find out why he stopped coming up poppy's james in the lead of now maybe an independent year old and i think it will be let's kick start the program with football with about 3000000000 fans. it's easy the well it's sports now in africa. nigeria is one of football's biggest houses, a country house would use big name talents like j.g. and wangle khan. but there's more hidden gems out there. so we went to watch on the outskirts of up to meet a young man who is helping kids. his community develop the talent nigeria has long been a hot spot for football talent. like many youngsters, soloman john always dreamt of becoming africa's best football player. but as fit

would have it, john is now a cooch are the unique starstruck or academy. the program has reached out to about $800000.00 youth in the summer vantage, communities across africa. what motivated him to start wars? because salsa ministry to kids, in communities and most of the vices, such as drug abuse and so on. so i say how we started this on how to solve all of these challenges. so i said, i want to involve most i want to tell energies into sport activities. john has successfully humping over 64 young football players in 15 different communities, including here our community. he moves from street to street, identifying players with potential. he also has to convince parents to allow their children. she joined a soccer academy, which aims to create a platform for young athletes to develop talent and build. i went to the houses to

inform the parent and seek approval for that. you're going to put spits in our training programs. and what we also did was we bust them just to encourage them because most of the less privileged, most of them don't have parents. they just hunger dusted skeets, one of joins from up with the cheese sticks in. it's not playing for nigeria's under 15 national team. many of the kids in this community. how the right combination of passion and talent, but a luck social support. so this is one of the young people from the international. this is the book would be king from one community unknown. also live to this is a want of argument. you want to follow the untruths international. about able to austin kindly, who's the freestyle i want and a phaeton tricks international competition. he's quick feel for the chance to

pursue a career in football. i wasn't in the ghetto before i think when i was pushing to not give me one present. he said, i think i know if you want, i want, i want of course, every success story comes to challengers. confinement good place to practice, to find justice and i do it quickly and taking care of the kids at all requires money. that's why i don't see them on relies on funding there is just the need to tally for the people who actually need phones. that what we did was we got a grant of 10000 euros the last before started to be to buy football boots. and by order of things the need for leg blows on 14. what about the ground? the u.s. embassy in up which i use is that money to support the project. a unique style

soccer academy has won both local and international awards jaunts team. so anyone want to nominate aimin to success? i was john and his team much more success than i had. you know, football is my favorites for, but to be honest, i'm not very good at it. but at least i know how to find the back of the next so they have a cover. but enough about me, let's meet someone who actually made it in the big league. plays for the german bundestag, our club f.c. can know he's got nigerian parents, but was raised and another. check him out. kingsley 25 years old, dutch nigerian, and plays in the german bundesliga. on the field, he runs up to 35.85 kilometers per hour, making him the 4th fastest player in germany. the defender was born in munich but

grew up in both his career in the netherlands since his childhood and wanted to be a footballer. he had to learn how to balance school education and overcome setbacks . he now plays for the f.c. current and scored his 1st goal in february 2020. a dream come true, a heart and dream and was part. rising football also found a new home in the congo city of cologne. while you were a child of god. it's so great to have the battle. it's a sport, the team spirit, and the passion of the fans that make his boys strive for the 1st star on his jersey. actually cologne, france, definitely know how to party, but we wanted to find out more about his what is he really like away from the limelight on the local festivities? well, my colleague, mr. mani, went to meet him on his home turf in cologne. right here in cologne. one of the

biggest football clubs in germany, when i say biggest, i don't really mean trophies, but i mean it has a rich traditional culture here in germany. and we are blessed to have our very wonderful guy here kingsley. how is the feeling when you are told kingsley you have to play for what is emotionally i think it's, it's crazy. you know, if you come, if you come to cologne, you know your stories about things like yeah, it's nice. you know it's beautiful, beautiful city, beautiful. but i think the 1st time you play in the, in this stadium, it's crazy. people are so crazy. they really love they enjoy football. and the no, no, i don't even have words for it. really. it's very crazy. being after all, i mean,

many of them want to be, you know, those who score goals to be stars that you know strike us. but you know, i defend what, anything i like i like to make. because for me to make really like this live, i like, i like to run the line, be aggressive. and of course i have a lot of times i go to the front. you know, of course i was a like, i want to talk. i also like to meet girls, but they're not there yet. but i also like to celebrate, you know, talking of warrants. you could try and i started doing for fun. the 1st time, one ball. how was the feeling i had this crazy. i don't know what, of course, when, when you 1st one 1st me, i'm going to make it go, you know, think like you do this, i'm going to celebrate like this, and i'm going to do days and then when i made the goal,

i didn't even know what i did, you know so much before as i just i just think of course for this big moment it was, it was very nice. and you always want to be yeah. always on the football player. but from my parents and from my father was like school to support the 1st school. if you don't do well here. so you have to balance both had to balance both because for me it was like ok, i just want to be football and nothing else. i don't want to do anything else with football, but i was a smart kid. my father knew it, but i was like, i didn't want to do so much for school. so i was like, ok 1st from the 1st. yes or no. first. and talking about football, your lifestyle falls, the challenges that come with it. having made it to this level, you must have experienced a little things along the way. there are so many you look up to you. how do you had

all these precious because there's a certain way that maybe people want you to look like for your image. and of course, there will be always hard times and the only for football is for everything in life hard times to come. but if you realize that the hard times will make you to be, we have to be so just take it and go through the process and never, never give up. i think this the biggest thing because people always tell you like you can do it. you can make it to something else, but the thing is if you just trust yourself, you know who you are and what you can and just just do it. you go through the process now and he is digital platforms so, so famous and among, you know, even the fan base, there's a lot of connection there and you can see me getting back. some of these comments could even affect you mentally. you know, of course, i think if you're not, if you're not strong enough, it can affect, you know, imagine if you, if you play

a bad match and everyone does like a, this shit 2 years should play or do next time better if you can play with these things, these things will come and if you play good music, they are great play. no, keep going here. yeah, you got to be strong and that's why it's important to believe yourself and to know who you are. even in bad taste or in good taste. you know, because if you're not strong enough, you don't know who you are, the things with the little comes with you. you can, you can get 1000 positive comments. and if you get one bad one, it can get you know, so yeah that's, that's, that's life. i mean, one of the challenges that we're facing right now in the sporting world is the issue of racism and discrimination. and we've seen it pop up over and over again. and of course, during your journey from one of the journey i've ever been subjected to such amusing yeah. of course. social social media from the fans or school age. of course it's affected me of course.

and it's ita. no. and for me, it's affects me when and when i see it happen against other guys, you know, other black guys or even if you're black or from another race show, you know, it's of course it affects me. so there's a lot with me. so if you focus on it and just try to come out of, i'll go all the emotion and yeah, for me it's just but for me, what else is just pray? i bring everything, i just bring everything to god. so if i feel pressure or feel offended everything, i don't try to react to it, but try to give it to court and i can a piece from god. and i just keep going on, you know, that's for me less for me. what else? but it's not, it's not difficult. you know, something that's the end of our chat with conclude he's a boy easy from see right here by

great charts bad. sadly, racism still exists in football. but i am confident that together we can fight it. now i'm sure you agree that they get 2020 has been a strange one from mt football stadiums to restrictions in our private lives. it's been a bit disheartening at times, but there's always a reason to smile. we met one man in lagos, who goes by the name job is keeping children spirits up during the pandemic with his spontaneous clown routines. for just if today is like any other day places make up to transform into his alter ego, joe punk. but corner virus measures mean joe punkin can't clown around a kid, spent the party and anti-social events like he used to. so the former school teacher has had to find other ways to make ends meet while the party business is on the whole, lives in his shop, in limos,

and travels nearby markets and neighborhoods to sell his balls and sponsors. he says it hasn't been easy. break out of the well, i don't know. standout joe makes a fraction of what he used to make before the pandemic and it's cost you money, improvised facemask. he stands out in this market. but joe punky wouldn't be punky if he didn't clown around outside so that so that is joe hopes, things will get back to normal here. so until then he will continue to bring joy to

the streets of lagos and put a smile on a kid's face. especially during the hard times of college 19. that's just beautiful. never underestimate the importance. especially during difficult times like these. now, a few weeks back, we got an e-mail from south africa. your mobius them who had stumbled upon didn't use comic series african roots now. whose real name is simon big boy. you say descendants of the namibian national hero and think big boy. you know how much you've who fought against german colonial rule today, you can spot him on the median dollar notes here. mobius some produce his leads, his music video in collaboration with you. we went to meet him in cape town. rich boy, the title of humility assumes latest release. the track is an ode to cut chain

hendrik with boy unama chief vic boy died fighting german colonial troops in present day namibia, south african rapper humid because some is a direct descendant of that boy's his goal, inspiring people to take pride in their ancestry. we don't have that icons that people who are often only are us or take invited out or want to fail or whatever. and so it's so important for our people to have that to, to i think the beautiful way to put it is to say that rock from which we were cut, you know, to, to know this is who we are. we can strive for with his people here will be a, some refers to the so-called colored community in post apartheid south africa, the community faces economic challenges and prejudices their way of speaking. the afrikaans language he says, is often associated with gangsterism and poor education.

they're making fun of that so that need 1st needed to be liberated. and for me, for about 10 years now then was all i focused on is to go into schools and say, but i was your how do you speak? it's not a sub standard of this or whatever. this is so important. this is one of the most important things that the big afrikaans picture needed right now. is you, steve? i miss the love casinos but then the elisabetta to see this fund and listen gloomy, discuss it is being empowerment and education of one's cultural identity is human besoms mission. it's something his friend and to true artist kind of sashi can attest to i remember there was a term we use to get the book of enoch wood boy and he wind through mountains to actually just get a copy. and he actually let you go to mean look at,

he actually made copies, or even a single page. the search is reflected on the rapid skin can associate tattooed, the face, and seal of the nama chief onto humid besoms arm. the reason indignant weighs on my arm is because there's no need to ensure you find inside. i think i'm in that a good place said yet in one of my songs, i say, you give me an elson. i let raise you in that you know, it's the equivalent, but you'll find nothing and yet is born here in namibia hendrick, vic boy, is a national hero, even appearing on the country's $10.00 notes. but in south africa where he was born, he's relatively unknown while preparing his music video. himmel, because some stumbled upon a feature on his ancestor by d.w. african roots series. i like using what's out there, or maybe you know why? because somebody didn't they. i hope somebody will use it for something else. so

why do you want to compete with something? and then i found this by d.h. avella, which is and i contact him immediately. and 2 days later, she came back to me like whoa, now i'm going to boys' everything. and there is this game of lights. i'm so happy that each of them all of them just said he has to believe that the resulting video is a powerful tribute to him, brick. but boy, i could just see a few. maybe a sim is proud to said that he's a boy with the legs and the like. that's definitely a powerful tribute and it's extra special doing it's music. now let's go to ivory coast. the country held elections at the end of october, but the web, i could tell by large parts of your position we disagreed with us on what's ours, but for that to get young a variance perspective on the election. you followed an activist on election observer before and after the polls elections and i have recourse,

they were tense, marked by violence, and the results of this putrid incumbent president alassane ouattara won the election by a landslide on election day was an official election observer in the run up to the election, the student and civil society activists had in south run a campaign to encourage people to vote. but most major opposition parties boycotted the vote with only one independent candidate, challenging what era. and on voting day. briefs decided not to casa's ballot in the collective my vote incurred with the intention of water so that i can make my choice when we would consider how things went as it were for to win when with us were only one real candidate. this is the election, credible without any opponents. is it credible really, really created? before the cold police had been his hopes on a free and fair election? in 2010, he experienced ivory coast post-election violence, 1st hand. after that,

he made it his mission to mobilize voters, especially the youth, to effect peaceful change through the ballot box. this is, if you decide to say no to something, things can change quickly. young people are not aware of a very present 77 percent of the pollution. they're not or have the power of their strength in iraq wasn't something forced. there was spots of violence even before the elections and police and his fellow activists knew that their political engagement could be risky. we are salted, we are 3 turned, but we won't give up. that's what we call commitment. so don't be afraid, don't be afraid. on election day, the voter turnout was low, 54 percent of ivorians came out to vote. according to the electoral board,

police think the numbers might even have been lower. some of the polling stations didn't even open or closed early due to the low voter turnout. according to me, democracy has once again regressed in ivory coast and as a result started pouring in, it became clear that president ouattara had won 94 percent of the votes. it's just 3rd term in office. something that his opponents say goes against the country's constitution for police and his friends is a disappointment, even though many of them chose not to vote. we have it's the youth who suffer from the political decisions. and the youths are used to achieve political goals. when you see it's them, people who fight it saying people who don't know all the things happen in our own this election. if you ask me, nobody listened to the youth and that i think if the voices of young people were heard, police believes things could be different. after all,

this is not the last election and for police that's nothing. to continue his struggle. tell you what we are, suffer because you should be aware that we have a lot of power. so your facts change. now on that positive note, it's time to celebrate one of our all be the commodity. she's been named one of the 100 most influential young africans of 2020 by the gonna be our family bonds, media, and africa. you the, what's? yes, yes. very. my name is edith q. money. i work with t w a program called the 77 percent. you should watch it, we do really great content. that's true. edith is a journalist, news anchor, and most importantly, one of our very own the 77 percent. before coming to d, w to kenyon work to many years for 10 years broadcast to katie,

yet she is known for her sharp questions of passion and her determination to create a bright future for africa's youth. now she has been recognized as one of the 100 most influential young africa. yes, the people of africa and especially the young people deserve to have their stories head. and they deserve to ask to be asked questions with dignity and serious and important questions and to be given that platform to speak on these issues. so i feel validated, i feel motivated, i feel very inspired and honestly just very, very on it. and we're very honored to have you on our team revelations once again. now, as always, would like to know your thoughts on all that we've been covering on the show today . so send us an e-mail to 77 d w dot com or get in touch with us on social media brings us to the end of the show for today. thanks for joining us. i leave you with

him and his powerful tributes to his father and the big boy, stacy, we don't believe in freedom. believe it or leave the t.v. business. even though i listed emoji fly me to the post as opposed to eve, some of the dome of the thieves that it uses we speak of a month ago. my was a very far feel that a prison video game of the kind to me in of lawmakers, money for the most of the letter was a kind of the i'm allowed to meet the sensibility of a book. somebody is a goal down to the finish. because they're used to the coming of

a number of the political play. good. good, good, good boys. good. bullshit flux must a little luck. good thing. those but the analysis of delicacy, good fun, fun and list gloomy because it just being new colors to start fixing in such fun. now let's stop to speak in blacks as well as the sky, but the english classes, my list of things the booth with think i'm going

to think the food food food you know, i'm going over the centuries they come up in putin's russia, the much focus on telly generation doesn't know how love complaining to friends. what do they think can feel moved? you should be like what the mirror, but then you're a bitch to fight for peace with them is prepared to do everything to achieve it. here they put you in prison for

a shared post. precious moment e-mails. just what's the secret behind this classical music, the sound. as soon as you hear beethoven lose your mind, or the story behind the music was a hit for the ages. reducing the cost. beethoven's 9th symphony for the more it starts to simmer down on t w. i was issued when
