i know nothing at the germans because that place and nothing with them. into the german culture. will take. you because it's all that. time rachel join me for me to get you something. this is deja news africa coming up on the program. 6 months to presidential elections in uganda those on the streets again security forces crack down on the winds company also coming out. promises where me i have been there live that will find out more about the benefits of gonna spoil well to use it as.

i. welcome to the program. the winds campin true uganda stop stop 10 politicians office says short live rounds. on tuesday his music producer down the aisle oil what was injured by a bullet wind was heading to a company in venue north of the competition kampala he tweeted our lives. after blocking us on the way to the block the main route diverted us to a remote route a safety set into a kill spot shocks the tires of my car and directly into our windscreen narrowly missing on our boat zakat on my drive. this is the 2nd violent confrontation in as many days on monday police used tear gas to disperse the crowd supporting why this

ahead of generous election when wind hopes to unseat president during which 70 who's been in power for more than 3 decades while the white house hold of his campaign we asked people in kampala how they felt about the upcoming election. the current political situation feels like a war. it's like we've gone back to the volatile days of. the. present. so we're not sure what it's going to be like. and i can tell you no one is sure maybe except those who disagree to start with. we hope for a great uganda in the future but if we slide into violence that will be terrible. even the security forces should handle the politicians with dignity rather than

intimidating them with. them on this i'm joined by a christian the political analyst with 15 years experience in monitoring elections around the world he joins us from kampala uganda hello said now human rights lawyer in uganda described to use these events the nation. is that fair but i think 3 to the lives of active politicians during this time that we're in we need to actually agree that this is a very complicated election that we're in right now the context of coffee does not even make it any better i think i want to say that so many lives and death rate. people who are actively involved in the politics but also the public as well and i think we can see clearly and increasingly that the enforcement of the 19 prevention guidelines in uganda right now in the context of the political campaigns

is taking a new trieste from actually you know preventing the 1000 spread to actually using it as a tool sometimes to actually target the opposition politicians now . what has been the government's response to this latest attack well we haven't seen any government response to yesterday's events what is currently happening is the team of the national unity platform and its head. robot. are currently meeting the electoral commission to sort of force your way forward and i think one of the critical things is that i think these need for the electoral commission to provide guarantees and commitment that once the national unity platform decides to go back on the campaign trail they'll be guaranteed that

security will be guaranteed and the events incidents of violence will not happen again what many ugandans actually calling for right now ok now we normally hear more about bobby wine and his supporters being arrested or talked and unfortunately even killed is there any blame on the side to i think it's not just a blame game i think it's about politicians. political leaders that have actually not. the guidelines that were put in place by the electoral commission and it's not just bobby wine alone i think days even many. politicians that are openly flouted the 1000 prevention guidelines that have been set out by the election management body and i think the blame goes on to them. it's not fair ok to single out bobbie why

not on i think it's important to note that all the other politicians many of them how flouted these rules but they haven't gotten the wrath that i think we seem to see so much associated with the opposition politicians ok now quickly before you go what you wind has suspended his campaign what happens now well. campaigns are suspended so we await to see what the wind and his team resolve together with the electoral commission i think it is important was a good state to suspend the campaigns and seek to draw a commitment from the electoral commission and the government site that we will now move into a more peaceful electoral process a more peaceful campaigning period and not one that is filled with incidents of violence ok our lives are actually lost where people of people are wounded and where people are affected and end up fearing to actually participate in the electoral process ok christian political analyst in kampala uganda thank you.

when ghana discovered oil in 2007 politicians made promises. stop for once it might come true and bring progress but how's that been the case so far. touched a story. when only a was 1st discovered in ghana in 2007 dreams of flying sky high connoisseur oil reserves are a blessing and a curse at the same time but what happens when the world of globalization and small african fishing villages meet local farmer adam could be no hope for the best for his family and his village. and. if we don't become selfish and take good care of our oil our future is good may ends will be beautiful doesn't have an engine about it on adam's big dream is

to have a house with its own bathroom but at the time his village has no electricity or even running water. politicians and investors promise for that to change one of many promises. when oil drilling starts in the jubilee oil field in 2010 a berlin film team decides to observe the developments more closely nigerian animation artist. comments on the events by adding animation arts and explaining her personal point of view. modern bathrooms for fiction and fantasy that sounds great. philip would disappear. no one is complaining after all who will miss the mark how's this. going to misspent you water from the ocean for a shower. several years later the new modern village for farmers

like adam could be in a still seems like a far away dream. about what they have not come yet we are still waiting for our new village. but we still have no electricity i have to walk 2 miles to get my phone charged. big oil promises what became of them. over a period of 10 years the filmmakers follow up on that question the documentary oil promises is a case study of globalization from the perspective of people who don't stop hoping that finally they to get their piece of the big pie. joining me now is. nigerian german painter and he made sure that the nation wept for this feature so how any of the blog old promises being delivered it will actually in my opinion

a little bit it's who had to leave it's not everything was the lever because the promises were. made how they they displace people from who need for instance and all the small fishing villages promised them everything that they were going to get schools and everything in the end they had built just facilities for engineers from outside and high class got a ounce and then on the 2nd no. they promised them jobs like oh no hotels not be opened and they'll have to i guess about 2000. job openings and in the end what happened the people spent money to learn to do these jobs but in the end what happens the chinese company that cane to do the job they can with their own stuff i want to find out what made you decide

to be a part of a film like this and i decided to be a part of this because i am very critical about stuff like this you know i speak i speak my mind so in berlin produces i've worked with them before of what we believe in prisons before so when they approached me and asked me if i wanted to be i found it very very interesting being especially that i come from nigeria which is an oil producing company contrary and we already know the effects of these oil things we know that it can cause a lot of issues and it's not easily manageable so i decide to be part of it in order to be able to comment on it with my animation ok now on that animation note what rural really play in such a film. and emission play will be huge role in such a film because it kind of gives people

a different view to what has happened in documentaries generally you use animation to relay things that were not got on camera things that happened in the past right and then in oil promises we wanted to use animation to also bring the saturn ricco aspect of whole thing into it because you could see the whole fake the whole idea of discovering the oil and the promises that were made like beyond being an ultra modern town with 500000 inhabitants it's just it's just plain. likened joke so the idea of using animation there was not just to document the things that we would see but also to comment on these aspects or use it as a matter for go to sue show the irony behind it so that owner would be able to look differently ok. miser and german very into

an inmate many thanks for your time thank you very much. and you can see the documentary on did i use you tube channel that's all we have time for on the show if you want more fostoria go to our website. so you soon. give us your country people will make you rich. people will provide you with jobs. the oil will take good care of you mention just a big. oil fever took hold on the west coast of gaza in 2007 investors made promises but years later reality looks very different. picture peaches. drinking water shortage i mean.

what happened to gonna stream of black gold oil promises starts december 4th so are you. welcome to news from the world of some culture free decades after the release of the godfather 3 movie a new recount and hopefully shiny of a has been released or about that in a minute also coming up in the next quarter and. a new exhibition of the photographic. in the postwar years pioneered a brand new genre of documentation. and the

remarkable tiny worlds of minute tourist. in the museum he created himself in front of. but we begin at the movies of course many cinemas around the world are closed at the moment but there are movies being released although this one isn't exactly new director francis ford coppola likes to revisit his films and 30 years after the release of the godfather part 3 he has been tinkering with this one the result has a new name the godfather code on the death of michael corleone. heres some classic cina. or it was out there you. know i love it when they speak like that my colleague a very good that is here with the details a new version of the godfather part 3 was the original actually in need of

improvement well that depends a little bit on who you are some people think that the original is under appreciated because they had to exist alongside 2 bonafide a masterpiece is in court father one and godfather 2 both of those won best picture oscars and together garnered 9 oscars the godfather part 3 got 0 oscars the general consensus is that it was by comparison a disappointment with a convoluted plot and some mediocre acting not all in particular from the directors then 18 year old daughter sofia coppola yes she got some really bad critics actually did she she did then that eventually prompted her probably to give up acting and take up directing of course she was very successful with the virgin suicides lost in translation she has more than retained her self and it has to be said that the role was key but it was quite

a small rather i think that people back then were quite hyper critical because it was the director's daughter ok what's the new movie like doing. it's improved well copula himself says it's an entirely new experience that is a bit of an exaggeration it's 12 minutes shorter and basically the famed story chill an altered ending is going to that's good in the movie any stephanie worth a 2nd look or indeed a 1st look many people out there might not have seen it yet but most reviews of the new version say it's different it's maybe somewhat improved but basically it's much the same but it remains a good movie by any standards ok now there's another story from the movie world that's hitting headlines at the moment that's for actor elliot paige best known for playing the lead role in the 2007 offbeat coming of age drama juno fantastic movie and currently in the netflix series the. academy announced via social media

institutional prejudice against trans people. as always thank you very much for the update thank you. german photographer on the hung gary and can the produce some of the most iconic photographic images of the post-war era they were at the height of their powers in the 1960 s. and 970 s. when perceptions of what contemporary art should be were changing there's an exhibition of their work in leipzig right now not open to the public of course because of the corona pandemic so you can have a look at it here. in the decades after the 2nd world war paris was the undisputed capital of european art is creative circles included like 6 born photographer hari shanker the eventually made his name as shown in his hungary in part young kenda. like many protagonists of that artistic iraq they were skilled at creating

a legend around themselves although their faces remained largely unknown his harassed self portrait did you. also have a shawl i. would like a self-taught they were whole they didn't have a studio. legend has it that in the early days it would go to exhibition openings with no film in his camera and pretend to take pictures just to make himself known . the new generation of artists was rising to prominence including klein who was just in barking on his blue it. doesn't close and it's not all what's interesting is that today of course we see the likes of andy warhol robert rauschenberg tricia brown and nikita saul file a stars but back then they were just young people experimented with new ideas at. these images these photographs were basically visual calling cards designed to

raise the profile of it the contacts a la. shawn kanda were fixtures of this vibrant scene they come. warhol and his entourage wherever they went even into that hotel room they shared in the artists' lives has shown what swiss painter and sculptor even have played. shanks kandor photographed thousands of artworks events and landmark exhibitions of travel card movements of the era is sean tangle in the scrap yard where he collected the components for his kinetic sculptures. geos pictures chart not just the dynamic developments in art but also in the audiences for that's all. just disappeared and shot and one when you look at the images you can see that the audience going to an even klein performance say was dressed up as though they were going to the opera will you go where i was just

a few years later and he will hold flower painting exhibition in paris attracted a very different crowd and a much younger and edgier crowd and he. walked he had. another renowned artist kendo worked with in the late sixty's was cristo who together with. his later wife was working on the monumental wrapped coast in australia. while she. documented the art of others the photographs themselves were also. the 2 photographers parted ways 973 sean who died in 2006 stored that body of work in his new york apartment while some photographs were published and helped popularize. most of them languish in obscurity the rediscovering of this

extraordinary archive after 3 decades is a gift to 20th century art history. museum incident is hoping to open again before christmas but nothing is show in these unpredictable times but we'll keep you updated hit on day w. now and interior design a done or none has very steady hands that's because he's a miniature iest he creates tiny versions of famous and sometimes not so famous places which he displays in his own museum in neal in france the work requires lots of patience to with his creations requiring a lot lot of precision with which can take months the end products are amazing take a look at this. seems the renowned restaurant in

paris is known around the world but why do they have already laid tables here when there are neither way to get. this miniature version of the famous restaurant in the french capital was created by done oh man it took him a year to finish the handmade miniature. and i mean you're drawing in eastern europe in miniature is an art form has existed for centuries and can even be found in the ancient egyptian pyramids. in the 17th and 18th centuries when you had miniatures it was usually depicted dealy life. take meal but also 3 dimensional in many other the band on they aren't quite human. in 2005 done omar opened his museum of miniatures in the heart of the lawns historic district it was here in france is the 3rd largest city that he arrived for an exhibition in 1809 bringing along 3 trucks bearing tiny artworks he immediately fell in love with the

city. from an area of 2000 square meters visitors can see over 100 extremely realistic miniature scenes built by various european many tourists though the majority were made by done on one himself. oh my peripheral i mean you have i think the miniature of the ballyhoo was particularly beautiful because it really to pick the cityscape of lunar which you can see through the windows of the opera house. my favorite miniature is this leon bistro the whole scenery is full of little details and it's very precise in its depiction of what really impresses me is the light as well as the individual objects in the room you can see how much work has been put into it. in addition to scenes from done omar has basically replicated half the world but he's not short of ideas for future

miniature projects. i saw very atmospherically it's a family lives. it's an old palace there are a lot of empty palaces they are in the atmosphere zing credible and in these fantastic palaces hundreds of white sheets we in the will and it was really impressive. i'm currently working on a miniature of this and it will be a beautiful. lens natural history museum as a dollhouse in done oman's work gigantic skeletons are easy to handle and huge rooms a rather cute view is stunned by his artwork even though or maybe because the scenes hardly differ from the real thing. i think there are amazing things those miniatures that's all for this edition go to
