my choice is this car because even there where transport troops and i want to talk this is steve every news afterthought on the program today. conflicts in accounts of what is happening in ethiopia's rolled into pride region. the government say's the war is over. to grind leaders off, vowing to fight on fielding c. is a full protection of guerrilla war, as thousands of refugees face and uncertain future in sudan. these children are among those refugees. many of them have been separated from their parents and may now be all says

hello, i'm christine one day. it's good to have your company see is all growing that ethiopia could be facing a protracted conflict in the northern region off to the government stays it. rito control of the region over the weekend, but it is off to grind forces, say they all still fighting on all fronts. the spokesperson for the surprise forces say they had no intention of surrendering repeatedly stated that we were in dayton . the techno enemy on our terms and with our preferred bethell, certainly not with what the enemy chooses for us. oh, i don't give a deuce of liberating cities that the enemy have left behind is ongoing, and all forces must try. a low militia forces are shown harrison's everywhere to grind forces also say they shot down an ethiopian fighter jets and captured its

pilots and broadcast. they do off their troops, allegedly, still on the macho. it is not possible to independently verify any of these claims . as communication with the region remains to save it. as the government in that is of a before its part says such assertions all quotes delusional as an extraordinary session of parliament. if you have his prime minister praised his soldiers for their victory, he said the army had been disciplined, and that not a single civilian had been killed. but the to grind data has accused the ethiopian army of carrying out a quote genocidal campaign in the area. diplomats told reuters news agency they think thousands of people may have been killed. and sadiq up bra is ethiopia's minister in charge of de mocker size nation. he is joining me now. welcome to news africa minister. the prime minister has told parliament that the military did not kill

a single civilian in this conflict. really hard to believe. how can he be so sure of that? because he has a record in the ground running the country. good military started this, which is not. and wait, any civilians actually it was the operation was made. it is the on the principle looked at him and said you can operation. so we have avoided on our part. we have avoided any civilian casualty, but and if their lives, i believe heal the moon and 7. i'm an individuals in my country needs me to dance. so when we say that is most evident, because reality, it is one hour in one village seen again, i would point out that everything is difficult to verify because this is a region that is still cut off from the rest of all janice ont on the ground and we understand that your government is insisting that this war is over,

but we have heard otherwise from to cry. and leave us now or analysis points. people feeling that a guerrilla war with to ground forces? what well will be the launched from the mountains, is your government prepared for that? we don't want to waste our time responding legation because we very well know that we don't have the capacity to be engaging or would appear to have lost the support or they didn't have to, or people you no longer have the military standing to do so. so this is simply everybody of course, but not everybody we've, they have defeated the have lost the war. so the, they have to resort. and of course, a program that grabs artesian of the global community. we know the ground of the reports. we have us and eyes on the ground. they have nothing, all we are left with, print them and bring them to

a court of law. ok on us that we are the same as our own time to be to reveal, to great to provide to them. and in this instance does or the military minister, a, sorry mess or actually if you're talking about a crime people, i do want to speak about the refugees. many of them in sadat have expressed that they're most worried about an exposure of intercommunal violence. and that's already something that we've seen happen. what does your government have planned to prevent this? if you create a country or even city and our people have learned to live with 70 people are models like example, it is a limited area or this, and that's not going to happen. you know, we have accepted the internet business person of more than 2000000. people, so we have the capacity to 250, the very minute the country has more, i want there to expense we have 2 years ago. we had 2 years ago. we have, we had 2,

wasn't a 1000000, people open their mouths list once we sold that and is this the people are we have to publish resettling or our citizens over there. so we will be engaged in that activity pretty much. and we are also trying to rebuild in the next, even here before it is the road going to be at the local people are going to be destroyed by this. you feel it. so this war is unfounded. if you see it, we get ability to see go on, our people are now working together. and one of the little lady said that minutes, that all the refugees that have said to sudan, we are working with the sudanese government, our embassy there, is i working actively when i was hellish, the task force that will help our citizens will. but if you come in, the other says, and they will use where they just leave. so that's not going to be

a problem pretty much. all right, that is the ministers that these are proud of who is in charge of democrat ties ation an ethiopian. thank you, and it's to for your time and your thank you very much. the fighting into grad has sent tens of thousands of refugees streaming into neighboring for dan. the u.n. says almost half of them are children. it's obvious, larry, i'm going to file this report from the camp just inside the signals port. that's a year likes to sing songs, he learned growing up and he guy he misses playing with his friends and especially with his older brother in law. i miss them all and i want to go back home because i want to play with my brothers. i miss my friends and my brothers. and it's been 3 weeks since saw his family. his mother had brought him to his teachers doorstep when the bombs started falling on the hometown, and who matter?

to europe. she believes his parents live, but with no phone and no communication blackout into guy. she can't reach anyone in their hometown. if god lets me live long enough, and if there's peace, i'll take the boy back to his mother. now i'm a refugee, but i will do what ever i can for this boy. he's like my own son or live at the campus heart up in s.f. was still wearing the same clothes as when they left home. often they have to try 3 or 4 poems to get water. but still sometimes a sifu manages to get a up something special that i love her because she takes care of me. she buys me their squits fruits and candies. i really love you. and now the manual hand cause is one of the oldest and most used means of

the income people for their uses. you don't really know, because if it did that, the electric carts recharge themselves. why moving through kinetic and that the more you move, the more the battery charges. it's an environmentally friendly approach, but uses save more interested in that. but wanted to say this one has assisted me in terms of i'm making more money than i used to make with the old one. with the old one, even going on the road to find a lot of traffic. even pushing one of the problems. because you use a lot of energy, even ask your friends to help push was just not the case. with this one. piece of those cuts have a capacity of $500.00 kilos and can reach a maximum speed of 7 kilometers per hour. if must production would start

a german jew, had to escape the nazis with her children. welcome to our culture. schloss was a huge garage palace in the middle of damaged in world war 2, and then finally demolished in 1950. now it has been controversially rebuilt, and the newly named home bought for him will become a cultural center housing, a number of museums bringing together artifacts from all of the wells. it was reconstructed with money partially from private donors who were thanked in a special ceremony on sunday. was music hall. thank you for the private donors who raised over 100000000 euros to the new berlin city palace in the heart of the capital. a labor of love for the friends of the berlin palace association, headed by businessman. they hand fund budgeting to says the lives of god. it's been the task of

a lifetime. i'm unbelievably happy and grateful and also humbled by the support we receive that's allowed us to reach our goal. because this theater on july, the 4th 2002, the german parliament approved with a resounding majority the reconstruction of the palace originally built by the horn, silent in a state. subsequent years saw the project become more divisive, not least regarding its purposes a home for the home built for them, a museum housing berlin's known european collections. but in 20000, the cornerstone was laid for the new palace. the process of restoring the historic center of balin to its former glory was underway. one that's being fraught with obstacles, including technical problems and spiraling costs that reach 644000000 euros. critics also say the ambitious project evokes precious imperial. past the cross atop its dome has proved, especially controversial seen by many as at odds with the humboldt forums aim of

transcending cultures and religions. moreover, beneath it is a band of bible quotes compiled by 19th century king fleetly should be heard in the fall of calling on all peoples to submit to christianity words. the german president frank, i shine my own personal context month. some may be irritated to see traditions cited this way, traditions tied to militarism nationalism and ruthless power mongering. politics that would pressure also stands for very different sound and forward looking traditions. fair in light and intolerant of education and humanistic thinking. and frederick the great samus belief that everyone must find belief in his own way. the early parts of the building will officially open on december the 17th virtual. and

needless to say, do you see the current current virus restrictions? a lot of controversy about this project to dissect it. my colleague, adrian kennedy joins me now. how far back do we have to go to understand the story? yeah. well, quite a long way robyn? there are 2 controversies that come together here. one is about the rebuilding of the building itself, the berlin, paris. the other is about the home forum. this is the super museum, the center of culture, based on the british museum, which in paris will power. well, let's start with a building. ok, well they're building as we know, it was built in the early 18th century. the burning palace was badly damaged during the 2nd world, but was apparently structurally sound when it was controversially dynamited by the

rulers, a communist east, germany in 1950, they saw it as a symbol of prussian militarism, the communist rubber stamp parliament the palace. the republic was then built in its place, it was also a cultural center. and then after german reunification in 1980 by started about rebuilding the palace. those in favor started raising money in particular, boy, creating a giant mock up of the burning palace facade at the original location that she was very successful, but there was still quite a lot of opposition. that's why some people thought that demolishing the past the republic would be more sweeping german history under the carpet. others said it was part of it does need land trend, creating fake old buildings in germany. but those in favor did when the resulting building is rather impressive. and of course, we're going to have great trouble culture in the city. but the more controversy

there is there, because very early on it was decided, the main function of the new building would be to house 2 museums, the ethnological museum, and the museum of asian art under the auspices of the boat forum at the time, not such a controversial idea, but in the intervening years subject of colonial era loosing has come more to the fore. activists i museum has not done enough to research the provenance of exhibits the museum in its turn, promising to address all the issues in a very open way. of course, the 2 controversies come together because when people from around the world come to visit cultural treasures from their own countries, they view them in the reconstruction of a palace, which was the former home of the colonial leaders. so the humble form has a lot stu to live up to this vision of a diverse museum, a museum,

or for the world, a museum for the world. and we'll be covering it a lot more in the coming months from now. the educated, the thank you very much q. now, you are not like all the mob. those is another like memoir by and get a story based loosely on how mothers experience as a german jew in the 1930 s. mother didn't believe her family were really in any danger from the nazis at fust. the memoir is a great example of how the events we read about in history books completely altered normal people's lives. so deeply. david leavitt's a small open minded, sexually liberated the coolest city in europe, the place where everyone wants to be. but imagine suddenly it's filled with hate discrimination and violence. it's hard to believe it could happen today. and it was just as hard to believe when it was happening in 1938

like many german jews also doesn't want to believe that her family is in danger. but when the nazis start torching synagogues and destroying jewish businesses, she takes her daughters and flees. she leaves behind her husband, her friends, her wealthy lifestyle, and her freedom. as is daughter and a book about her mother, it's called you are not like other mothers. she has a party animal with a stable of lovers and 3 children by 3 different men, pretty wild for the daughter of a well to do family. she recognized no conventions kept no accounts had no pretensions. when i tried to describe her to myself or to others, i repeatedly come back to the word genuine and her daughters escape just in time to bulgaria. they lived there and poverty until after the war. when they returned to

germany, i was only lives a few more years. you're not like other mothers is the story of a german jew who like so many in her generation, didn't believe it could get that bad. never in her wildest nightmares could have dreamed up something like the holocaust. her story is tragic and yet full of life. it's a book that will cripple you and won't let you go. now stringed instruments have a beautiful shape and this true italian artist layer nado free go to use them as blank canvases. creating art works that are also musical instruments. he illustrates the entire instrument with pictorial stories, either inspired by historical events by client specific wishes. all for instance, currently a whole series of violins illustrating an ancient book. the divine comedy i've done to london based on taste.

leonardo frigo uses a nick dips in to illustrate stringed instruments primarily violins. the instruments on his canvas, on the shape of the violin is very hard to paint because it's like he's 9 dimensions. so he's a 3 dimensional object and it's very hard to paint on the side or on the top parts is different. i need to be very careful because the ink, his liquids and his if i made a mistake, is once a violin is freaking has gone and then tips like the 7 deadly sins, including soft and enough. these 4 seasons or scenes from the ancient roman city of palm paint. this challenge was

inspired by the 19th century english artist william morris. to paint a violin can take up to a month and to paint a cello takes after 3 months to paint. so really need to be spar. it's by the story of the biography. i really like paints. personal biography, as well, like costume, are for someone want of iran, is part of by his life. a violin belonging to israeli concert violinist markovitch in the street scenes from the life of the most famous violin maker of all time. and tony, almost there is his workshop. back in cremona and italy, then there is cremona and i'm up with it. it's really there's a number of instruments that he built, the homes and 100 is the label that he used to put inside his instruments

there all the years of which he used to operate as one behind you can see his family tree. i really love this, not all the violin, there's no, not if they go in the straight, some meant to be played. even if the artwork has no effect on this hour. how many times do you see an instrument that is also a painting at the same time? and that's one extra value that i absolutely love about this volume. and i enjoy just taking it on stage. currently, i'm not afraid go is working on a special project. he's a skating 33 violins, and a cello with motives from a 700 year old book, the divine comedy by italian or sat down today i make yet again, it's the earliest work ever written in the italian language. a series of 33 violins

this close to completion to mock the 700th time of history of dun taste, death and 2021. they are now dead free go plans to exhibit the works internationally and show the world a piece of italian culture. arts and culture stories on our website at the w dot com culture about so for now, by actual watching the

this is your news life from another covert maintain jobs may become available as early as december through a company merger and ask both the european union and the u.s. for the emergency. go ahead on its vaccine. tell you what it means for a vaccine distribution. also coming up, i hate us as senseless nasser to all. that's how the un describes the killings of more than a 100 nigerian farm workers murdered by on-demand on motorcycles. and this force a frightening crash leaves racing fans breathless. but for the one driver on my

course, all the steps with his life and walks away. great ball of fire. thank you so much for your company. everyone. well, with the coronavirus into new into impact life around the world. the race for an approved vaccine is on, on now u.s. drug for modernity says it's applying for emergency approval of its covert 19 vaccine in both europe and the united states. or that could lead to distribution in the u.s. . as soon as december, the company says for trial results show its vaccine was 94 percent effective. with no serious safety concerns. the filing sets up modernist product to be the 2nd vaccine likely to receive special authorization after one developed by fighter and

beyond tax. well, joining me now is yanis, and that's us. he is with the european a public health alliance and is a board member of european medicines agency known as e m a, which is dealing with murder and has a request for authorization. a very good evening, sir. when do you think we're there now will be granted approval by the e.m.e.a. getting. it is hard to notice the i don't speak on behalf of the agency, but when my message would be that we need to let the regulators do their job, we need to let the regulators look at these. they badly need to make sure that we get these very promising, good news from the companies press releases. we've seen quite a few of them over the past few weeks, but now we need to make sure that they're there. we need to cross-check this data and we need to make sure that the regulators have the time and the tools on their disposal to assess the company's claims. how many doses will become available?

you think of how quickly can they be rolled out? well, we'll see what there now has said that europe will have to wait. we understand the state of the manufacturing capacity and obviously the distribution ease a big challenge for all companies and the public european countries. governments are teaming up with pharma companies as we speak to help them by also essentially by seeing them financially to scale up and to boost production capacity to make sure that these products, when authorized by be made are allocated. and this repeated to citizens in europe and the on, and ones at the vaccination start. well, i'm not, i'm not a fortune teller. i cannot tell you because we don't have the, we do not have the green light yet from the regulator. i'm pretty confident of the regulator and we do its job and we will have a safe and effective products. but once these products are in the market, we will have to keep it close eye on them. to make sure that we gather more

information on their efficacy, but also on their safety profile. and this is why i think this needs to be properly communicated to citizens, even europe, and beyond. and is that infrastructure here in europe? how and who will deliver these vaccines throughout the european union? yes, as i said, governments are already in the and helping working with the companies in the past few months to make sure that whenever these projects are authorized because we need tools, this is not a minor to be their lander stand. and there is a lot of political pressure and all sorts of pressure to get to the point of the authorization. but as i said, we need to let the regulators do their job properly and take their time in assessing these data. which is something that by the pharmaceutical companies, and then i think we would see in the coming months the production capacity is already strengthened. and therefore, depending on the company, depending on the vaccine pounding date, i think we will see before the summer and the bendigo when the star is asian and we

come, we will see that those is being distributed in european countries and that conclusion . so what would you tell you people in the european union who are still has a tense about taking a back seat? i would say that the, that you made the european medicines agency regulators in europe. we got n.t. and we need to make sure that we maintain our trust in the approval system. we maintain our confidence in vaccines, and this is why my message is always let the regulators do their job. but i think probably the sions need to be a bit more cautious when they go on the record with the different statements, with different timelines. we need to be a bit more careful with these kind of information which is communicated tool of the public. but at the end of the day, i'm very confident that the regulator, the system in europe,

the approvals system in europe are looking out for medicines and vaccines. we believe are now the senate says, who is with the european public health alliance and a board member of the european medicines agency. thank you for trying to ask well, deadly as covert 19 can be. most patients do recover from the virus fairly quickly, but there is now growing awareness that some patients suffer a range of health issues even months after getting over the initial infection. w. met one covert 19 patient who told us about the illness she's endured for 8 months . pretty good in is battling the long term effects of coated 19. when she became sick in march, she had few symptoms, but it's now devastated her life. but a confident i only became gravely ill months later in june. but at the time i thought that everything would eventually be fine. but things didn't improve

. i was extremely ill for many, many weeks, which turned into months. and i never got better. is what a nice piccy is one of 40 covert survivors here suffering from long term effects of the illness. germany's baltic sea coast symptoms are being treated at a rehabilitation center. after the virus piggie felt burnt out. she suffered from dizzy spells and chronic pain. the cognitive i'm seeing in some cases. i also had cognitive difficulties that my head wasn't functioning properly. i couldn't hear at povich and, and couldn't follow conversations. well, often covert patients like peggy say, their concerns are being taken seriously by the doctors

it's very difficult for some doctors to understand when they look at me. i look healthy physically, i'm reasonably strong, at least i appear to be. and then you get dismissed very quickly, they say her mind is not ok. i'm not afraid, but i still wonder if i will ever be the same again. as a covert survivor, peggy has officially recovered from the illness. but she says it feels like corona virus has stolen her healthy body and left her with a sick one in its place where he has been here for 2 weeks. now, her main goal is to get her mental health back on track. only you live your life. 5 days, it was a weekend and so on. my life might be more intense than it was before. on the one hand, i'd like it to be like it was before. on the other,

the world is just falling apart because of the pandemic right now. at the moment, life is dramatically different fact everyone that i think i would be a different person than i was before. that's a-k. and has 3 more weeks of rehab ahead. if all she wants to do is get back to a normal life again. a little earlier we spoke with the under look at fear and italian doctor who coauthored a recent study on so-called long cold it. and we asked him what the most common long term effects were that patients grapple with so that the most common common are fatigue, shortness of breath pain, basically a pain in the chest and other muscles areas. but also cognitive symptoms are,

are not uncommon. so people can be distracted easily and have hard times to, to focus or to remember in short term memory. the majority of patients requires pretty well from corbett, but the people who suffers from long cord is no negligible part of the patients. and we need to take care of them. and that was the doctor from tamale university hospital speaking to us earlier, we want to turn our focus now to west africa, where more than 100 people have been killed in what the u.n. calls a massacre in the country's northern borno state. i wouldn't, says, said militants on motorcycles rounded up and killed farmers who were bringing in their harvest. the victims of a gruesome massacre laid to rest in a mass burial. the country pulled say the farm workers were

attacked by armed insurgents on motorbikes. while they were harvesting rice, some was shot others at their throats cops did is that there was 6 of us in the bush. then we headed back into the village. we were shocked when we got there. the moment ago we found the bodies and that was where the main killings took place. then we went through a nearby village called good though. we met so many people fleeing from our village without knowing where they were going. the huge amounts of harvested rice was set on fire or you see a lot of bogus it's the most violent attack on civilians and bonus state this year . the region in northeastern nigeria has been gripped by a jihad just insurgency for a decade. both the islamist group boko haram and a rival group, the i.i.s. affiliated so-called islamic state west africa province operate here. the 2

groups have been blamed for attacks on fondness and fisherman, whom they accused of spying for the army and pro-government militia. but so far, there's been no plame affair sponsibility. i don't want us. i came around and killed many of our people because we need assistance. we need weapons because we have young men who can cut off from as well. they work. please, please for god's sake. the democrats don't like it when the nigerian military has been unable to quell the insurgency in which tens of thousands of been killed or abducted. there are reports that several women may also have been kidnapped in the latest incident. and the number of men remain missing, raising fears that the death toll from this brutal attack could still rise assist you're up to speed now where the other world news in the headlines this hour

iran has held a funeral for the country's top nuclear scientist killed in an ambush last week was in fact, as the day was credited with establishing iran's nuclear program in the early 2000, tehran has blamed israel for the killing and has vowed revenge. mass protests have prompted the french government to say it will rewrite a draft security law which sought to restrict the filming of police. tens of thousands demonstrated against a bill in police brutality over the weekend. and shows were inflamed by video of police beating brutally a black man in paris. sports news now and in formula one. the racing at sunday's behavior called glee was overshadowed by a terrifying crash. french driver home, on course, was slightly injured and has been ruled out of next weekend's series, but he was happy to walk away one piece. this was the moment when formula one held

its breath careers into a crash barrier and is engulfed in a ball of flame. miraculously grows on a marriage to relatively unscathed from the inferno. but this was an accident that seemed to come from a bygone age. no car had been split in 2 and a crushing 1991. well, a crush hadn't caused a car to catch fire since 1999. but there was an angel and grows on the shoulder, the halo. the titanium structure protects the driver from head injury. yet there was much skepticism when it was introduced in 2018, not least from the man whose life it almost certainly saved for the hague. is a good thing. get rid, they don't go forward. was there within the it would be they think they would be as tough as you and folks would want to put susan,

this is the value of good. another former hill skeptic world champion lewis hamilton thanked the sport's governing body for what he called the massive strides they've taken in tribe or safety. but while the sport rightly cuts itself on the back, the post-mortem has already begun. a city have a crush that meets scrap iron of car and barrier alike was able to happen at all. thanks so much for watching. over the rebook fighters want to start families to become farmers or engineers. every one of them has a plan for your children. so nothing is this that the children who have already been

this all in and those that will follow are part of a new kind of they could be the future of granting opportunities. global news that matters. d. w. need for mines is applying for emergency approval for its coronavirus vaccine. it's the 2nd pharmaceutical firm to seek to go ahead for its job in the us and the e.u. . so how close are we to having a vaccine ready for rollout? also on the program opec and its oil producing allies consider whether to extend major production cuts. look at the damage. the falling crude prices done to the nigerian economy, migrants make up an increasing proportion of germany's entrepreneurs will explore
