earth you're watching news the news africa is up next with the maika ginia well forget you can get all the latest news and information around the clock on our website it's. at all be illogical for me on the entire team thanks for watching. i'm secure in the they were not hard and in the end this is a me you are not allowed to stay here anymore we will send you back. are you familiar with this. with the smugglers were alliances. what's your story ready ready. i mean when i was a women especially in victims of violence. take part and send us your story you are

trying in all ways to understand this new culture. another visitor nothing yet you want to become a citizen. in for migrants your platform for reliable information. from. this as did a 1000000 years of ago coming up on the program one of the violins and. i am just 6 weeks to presidential elections in uganda there is a blot on the streets again a security forces crack down the wall the winds come. also coming out. promises were made but have been delivered we'll find out more about the benefits or mobs of gonna spoil well to ordinary citizens.

i am eddie michael jr welcome to the program. the winds come ping trail uganda's pop star 10 politician says offices shot live rounds at his car on tuesday his music producer danielle oil what was injured by a bullet wind was heading to accompanying venue north of the competition kampala he tweeted our lives. after blocking asked him on the way to jinja they blocked the main route on diverted us to a remote route a safety set us into a kill spot the shots the tires of my car on directly into our windscreen narrowly missing on our boat zakat on my driver. this is the 2nd violent confrontation and i was meeting on monday police used tear gas to disperse the crowd supporting both

while this ahead of general election when wind hopes to unseat president yuri mississippi who's been in power for more than 3 decades while the white house called off his campaign we asked people in kampala how they felt about the upcoming election. new york with a view to. the current political situation feels like a war. it's like we've gone back to the volatile days of. the new. president. 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 are within the group to start. with you know 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 guns. 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 say now popular human rights lawyer in uganda you were described to use these events nation attempt on what you whine is that fair but i think. 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 ticking on you 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 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 i have openly flouted because of 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 the wind has suspended his campaign what happens now well. campaigns are suspended so we'll wait 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 campaign 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. for once it might come true and bring progress but a house that had been the case so far. documentary on a nation. touched a story. when only ellis 1st discovered in qana in 2007 dreams are flying sky high konitz 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 hopes for the best for his family and his village. if we don't become selfish and take good care of our oil our future is good mans will be beautiful doctor does overhead and you know about about atoms 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 and 2010 a berlin film team decides to observe the developments more closely nigerian animation artist. comments on the events by adding animation arts in explaining her personal point of view. modern bathrooms for fiction and fantasy songs great old village or 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 is still seems like a far away dream. about what they have not come yet we are still waiting for our new village. where 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 clear 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 really a nigerian german painter and an inmate assured that the animation work for this feature hello ability so how any of the black gold promises being delivered well

actually in my opinion a little bit it's who had to leave not everything was the lever because the promises were made how they they displace people from whom you need for instance and all these 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 guardians and then on the 2nd no. they promised them jobs like of hotels not be opened and they all 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 came 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 i've worked in bali in prisons before so when they operationally and asked me if i wanted to be a part of this i found it very very interesting being especially that i come from nigeria which is an oil producing company contrie and we already know the effects of these oil. well 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 plea in such a film. an issue 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 such iroko aspect of a whole thing into it because you could see the whole thing the whole idea of discovering the oil and the promises that were made like beyond being an ultra modern town with $500.00 pounds and inhabitants it's just it's just plain. like a 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 a leader would be able to look differently ok. miser and german very into

an innate many thanks for your time thank you very much. and you can see the documentary on you tube channel that's all we have time for on the show if you want mol fostoria go to our website. africa see you soon. enter the conflict zone with tim sebastian. less than 3 months ago i think same of on the collapse from occurring poisoning my guest this week for most go is vicious love me come off a member of president putin's party united russia open why is it that those who speak louder for the russian opposition run the risk of mortal danger cults or. even 60 minutes to double the literature invites us to see people in particular.

health crisis. welcome to the program germany's buy on tech can partner fire say they're hoping to get hundreds of thousands of doses of their coronavirus vaccine to the u.k. within days it's after the british government became the 1st prove that they use it's a major milestone for biotech in particular the german startup that's come from nowhere to off a pandemic hit economies and you have. it's not much to look at from the outside but what's inside is revolutionary bio says its technology can is the development of entirely new types of vaccines the 1st set their sights on cancer but then came the coronavirus and beyond phone itself with a head start. his story for us. to actually

bring. together. to. distribute real product to. a country. that's really historic. research is expensive but luckily for biotech founders in unusually large amount of venture capital allowed them to develop their project and their progress soon netted them a partnership with pharma giant pfizer. biotech provider the technical know how pfizer brought their experience in vaccine development and delivery not to mention production capacity of up to 1500000000 doses a year by on text breakthrough with m r n a technology has opened up a new horizons for the company. i think it's. technology which is. we should expect over the coming decade a number of them are in

a way that. the fact that the company hasn't yet turned a profit doesn't seem to concern investors. well let's bring in our correspondent in new york. yan's now that biotech pfizer has got this approval from the u.k. what's the next move. well and it's really interesting that a british company that started at the u.k. it will be the 1st investor nation to get the wisin out as this vaccine this developed by a german and an american company and who knows so maybe that might increase pressure on u.s. regulators to approve the vaccine also pretty soon there is a meeting on december 10th from regulators and maybe shortly after this works you know also could be just the roots here in the united states i'm standing here in front of this movie theater i've reported from your

a couple of times see you on the other side of the end pandemic so we're not quite there yet but there is hope that we might reach a point as soon as the big scene works and will be distributed in hundreds of millions of doses. as some optimism in science well we've got there's been a major. the u.s. software sector. yeah it's mess if it's the software company's sales force that specialized on cloud computing and they're buying for almost $28000000000.00 select a company that is specialized in office communication and was that sales force or probably will try to actually attack microsoft so what's a source is hoping for so to get more products out so that you also get more potential clients for their main business what is so software for the cloud computing industry but almost $28000000000.00 that's a heavy price tag and therefore a sales force decreased by about $8.00 and

a half percent of the stock market being the biggest decline are in the dow jones. thanks for bringing us up to date. now for some of the other business stories making the news american airlines has completed the 1st public flight of a boeing 737 max since the plane was grounded early last year more than 300 people died in 2 crashes but now american is planning commercial flights with the max from the end of next month of this month back. to our operators to e is to receive almost 1800000000 euros from the german government and private lenders and exchange who has agreed to freeze dividend payments and bonuses for top managers is the 3rd search package designed to help offset the impact of the pandemic. by the world health organization has called on countries to think

with long term pain the real issues are going to come at airports. tour buses taking people to and from ski resorts ski lifts and places where people points in the skiing sort of experience. the kind of experience many will miss this year pristine conditions on germany's mountains but no skiers like france and italy the government has shut winter resorts until january 10th in an effort to avoid a spike in corporate 19 cases the decision will cost billions in lost revenue. we fear that the restrictions would cover the holiday season and it's very painful because one 3rd of our time norburn winter is made during the christmas holidays by attack and fear. the shutdown does have its supporters.
