online imagine how many push home loves us right now in the world right now all climate change is very hard to store. places like france they went from just one week. how much work and really get. we still have time to a i'm going. to subscribe to the news like this. this is the news africa coming up on the program who will guardians choose a president as a country prepares for your actions on monday unemployment remains easy side in fact the next leader will be. out of the war you need them flee their country the journey. increased by one.

of the name is at the mike a junior welcome to the program ghanians head to the polls on monday to elect the president in what is expected to be a close contest old rivalries have been revived between incumbent presidents the michael and his predecessor john mahama 2016 muhammad became the only incumbents to be voted out of office and he's hoping to inflict the same fate on. in a region besets with security issues ghana is viewed by many as a beacon of hope and stability but he shoes such as corruption and unemployment remain a headache for many gun ians like sunny brought in. mohammed sunny ibrahim started development communications at the university and. an informal settlements

in ghana's capital accra. has tried to back fill to secure a meaningful job since 2016 the father of 2 often depends on the generosity of relatives as well as casual wake to take care of his family sunny says he said nights may weaken up every d. much knowing you know where he is the next meal will come from really that money to . give morning to or from your family to get you going to school. or that is. so money is a problem and there is no money. sunny like millions of young one stage all. with general elections decent we he has been monitoring what's kind of permission on job creation. and i've been hearing it from the people. who

create opportunities for the people to work and then in terms. of all the parties. 12 candidates are running for president in the december 7 elections but the 2 leading candidates are the incumbent president. and the opposition leader the ex-president john muhammad. campaigned for the 2020 general elections have largely taken place on vetch op lot phones with social media playing a key role in it. but that has not stopped. from holding huge gatherings ignoring safety protocols president who has edged for tests to keep him in. so he can do more for them swati b.n.p. he is hopeful kenyans will grant that's requests and we're known that

then you put to the party when i was always provided they needed quality leadership and when the president runs it's mine 1st do you hate what we put out there that is the leadership of. helping to protect against me for all. as being a message to the good people of. the position candidates and former president john muhammad is also hopeful of victory of order despite to say the government hasn't done enough to deserve another 4 years. every single time who one who is suffering from the economic depression and pressure that is being hunted to the people by the. most with on the election and feel that is that i have salvation deep. for the i will se the kind of the meeting what you know for

history that you. see this year's campaign has been issued be used with voters expected to consider policies of parties in deciding who to vote for. the survey that we put out there said we did you know there's evidence that people are much more aware and much more knowledgeable of the political parties ministers and their messages than that they would have had in the past and of course the media engagement has been very intense. sunny will be voting in the election what's my test most to do this for the we know to get to. fix the country's economic challenges. joining me now is dr congo head of the center for public discourse analysis and electra at the guys use of journalism now we just saw a report about on unemployed gunmen how big an issue is that and how are the

candidates addressing it. unemployment is a really huge issue in ghana as of now unemployment is about 12 percent in general and youth unemployment is about 50 percent so this is really really huge and unemployment is higher than areas done in the rural areas and i can tell you that there is. a lot of young people are concerned about and people are for the country are concerned about unemployment. among the top factors in this election and what kind of saying about that. well for the m.d.c. that is the opposition party does the challenger john dramani mahama is the kind of day for the national democratic congress does the biggest opposition party and he's saying that he's going to establish bring about 1000000 jobs when he becomes president in the manifesto he calls the. language and soon he is

calling part of the bring about a job big push and he's saying that in the big push infrastructure and the policies that you'll be doing would help to bring about 1000000 jobs for the n.p.p. the new picture at that party which is the incumbent party leader not the president then i've done he is saying that he will continue with the policies that he's done that will bring about that will bring about a lot of employment for food and jobs the national builders call program that he's planning to do ok there are lots of other major issues with the current president and former president how hard the corruption allegations against him how will that be the determining factor in this election. if you want to look at the direction of a gun in an election one of the big things apart from jobs is corruption people hate it and one. option is hung on your neck it's probably the death nail so

corruption is a big scene it's come up really strongly in the last 2 weeks after the special prosecutor released it was his report on the deal so more option is really up there in this particular election and i see that is going to be one of the deciding factor now looking forward to the d.d.d. in previous elections there's been pockets of violence here and there is not something we should be concerned about. absolutely especially because we've had consent about vigilantism in ghana over the past 4 years this has been one of if you had one of the biggest things that has characterized the government it is that vigilantism so important that he passed the vigilantism and related offenses act 1999 that's how important it is live what we've seen that there has been some violence in the recently held elections so there are legitimate

concerns about vigilantism and conflict and violence in this bicycle a lection ok now how will the 19 pandemic influence the elections in any way huge huge their eyelids have been banned by the government so we don't have the traditional rallies as we've seen it which means that one more variable factor has come into the picture the party which is. campaign and sell itself despite its covered $1000.00 go around it is the party which is going to make a head we have seen the m.p.p. do virtual rallies we've seen the n.d.p. use facebook facebook live events and so many other innovative ways what's up and i do think that. that the medium is the message and still in this particular election the medium or on call the one thing is going to be a determining factor ok 10 seconds is this election too close to call or what there

be a 1st round clear winner if there is an election which is too close to call it is this particularly election because they've been just too many things that have happened close to election day that will tend to tilt the balance ok for the brief there dog. head of the center for public discourse analysis on lecture on how the gun is of journalism made thanks for your time. let's now take a look at some other stories making news across the continent the south african panel investigating alleged state corruption under former president jacob zuma the country's constitutional court to compel him to testify zoom out walked out of the panel last month after i had rejected his request to have that for side in judge. recused. stamey south africa an explosion. on oil refinery in the port city of at least 7 people were hospitalized authorities say they don't know

starts december 10th on t.w. . this is deja vu newsline from berlin u.s. lawmakers prepared to block troop withdrawals from germany the clock is running out on donald trump's presidency does this mean his order to reduce troops here is null and void out of sight but not out of danger bangladeshis moving thousands of there when just refugees to an island in the bay of bengal they've been promised

a better life but human rights groups borne of disastrous conditions. and many are calling it a seismic shift for still warner brothers announces a game. changing distribution plans for 2021 that has fans rejoicing but theater owners down in the dumps. unlike a local welcome to the program lawmakers in the u.s. congress are preparing to block president donald trump's order to withdraw u.s. troops from germany it's a rare instance of the democratic and republican parties working together to pass legislation the final version of the annual defense bill which still needs to be voted on voices support for the continued presence of u.s. forces in germany and it would require an impact assessment before any 2 to removed

in july the pentagon announced it would withdraw about a 3rd of the 36000 u.s. troops based here. let's bring in a case of that member of the german parliament. the u.s. congress is moving to block trump's u.s. troop withdrawal plans from germany i imagine this is good news yes this is really good news good evening mr it's all sort of good so i'm for a renewal of the transatlantic german u.s. relations so we are really happy to have this we are excited also to your about the details what is your message to u.s. lawmakers as congress prepares to review this bill. our parliament a lot of members of our parliament we have written in summer to our colleagues from the congress our colleagues from the hill and we house have asked them to revisit

their decision and we are very happy now to listen to this new arrangement from the hill and our message is the american soldiers and the families of very well come in germany and we need them for our mutual security it's a question of transatlantic trust and it's also a question of transatlantic burden sharing and my plea to our american colleagues is police demand or so from germany more engagement in the european neighborhood and with this fostered reforested alliance of the presence of americans or just in germany the americans i could also demand from the members of the european union and nato member states to in whist more in their security in the ricin e t in the western balkans in the mena region and also as regards ukraine so this would really be a step forward in our mutual friendship and interest oriented relationship. how

essential eased the presence of u.s. troops here in germany for the security and stability of the region. it's not only a question of reassurance it's also not only a question of tradition it's a sign that the american soldiers that the u.s. policy accepts the threat assessment of the eastern european countries and it excepts as well those fatality of the german society and we germans in between the south and european countries who are focused on africa and the eastern european countries who suffer from threats like s. faced waylay she's from russia so it's also a good task for germany to be the interface among southern european and eastern european interests and together with the united states we could even strengthen the european security with respect to the transatlantic relationship in general what

are your expectations from the incoming biden administration. well the incoming biden administrations will have at least 2 tocs to bring together again the american society which is very split and then to focus on the challenges in the in the pacific and to gain energy for their engagement in the in the pacific this means that they need to rely on europe on a strong europe which is able to care for the security in their environment their we city and therefore it is also of american interest to rely on a stronger european military engagement as well as in development policy in the near in the near and so we expect that biden will give reassurance as regards to international rules based order he will also revitalize agreements like

the j.c. if you ate or new start or the treaty on the open skies but on the other side he will keep the pressure on the european union member states also in germany too in west more in their security and this is very well very well and very fit right or cases that are really appreciate your perspective appreciate your joining. thank you bangladesh has started moving will injure refugees try camp on a recently formed island that critics say is vulnerable to cyclons and dangerous flooding almost a ww just live in crowded camps on the mainland the united nations says no refugees should be moved there against their will many have pinned their hopes on what bangladesh has promised is a better situation. for refugees every journey is a step into the unknown these are working just have been on the move for years

seeking safety since fleeing myanmar now they are being shipped to another uncertain situation. i've heard of that right now that we are not citizens of any country and so we are moving to wherever there are more facilities for us than we have had. we were not happy at the camps we heard from seniors as well as the television that we will get more from the facilities. of. the island of passion charge is to be their new home by camp built by the bangladeshi navy to house 100000 people. the silt island formed just 20 years ago critics say the low lying land mass is prone to flooding and dangerous cyclons some families say their relatives are being moved there against their will. to live there forcing my son and his family to go he didn't want to go but they forced him i came to see

him probably for the last time. and i wanted my family goes to the island they will die because of floods. bangladeshi authorities say all relocations of voluntary and that the new facilities are better than in currently overcrowded mainland camps. on the island flood defenses have been built to keep back the threat from rising seas but so far no independent inspectors have been allowed to visit the facilities the united nations refugee agency is demanding urgent access to see if the island is safe for habitation. as the holiday season approaches many countries are weighing l. best to allow for festivities without spreading the virus we asked some of our correspondents around the world what's happening where they are. cape town is a popular christmas destinations for travelers running away from the cold in their home countries normally it is very difficult to find

a hotel during this time of the year but this year things are going to be different although south africa opened its borders for international tourists with the negative comments test results only if you are coming in to be very different. if you're going in was going to be that christmas would be the same most people do. their job cover 19 has affected my mental health not so usually when i go home for christmas and be cheery and i'm the probably one but now. you know i'm taking a cloud of sadness home that is not necessarily the monkey people getting together . divide has become which is a bad thing. for everybody not just for shelf but all family. colleagues sisters and brothers. but i think the schmall of school this year due to the pandemic the number of new covered infections is rather low for now but on the rise again epidemiologists want of

a spike in cases because of the christmas celebrations most events year where already cancels the good news for those already here if you're looking for silence and contemplation on a lonely beach your chances are quite good this year it doesn't get much more christmassy than this london's oxford street usually buzzing with holiday shopping but this year standing around in big crowds isn't top of anybody's christmas list the u.k. is still under strict restrictions but from the 23rd until the 27th of december they'll be a brief relaxation of the rules up to 3 households will be allowed to meet in signs and for many of this is the 1st time we'll have seen families in dulles' since march but as prime minister boris johnson to sit is a season to be jolly it is also a season to be jolly cathal and there are. doing the gains made in they've been busy lucked out so for some the question this christmas is not can we meet loved

ones it should wait. i think people deserve a bit of a break i mean. i know given the citizens of this country they would be or they would do it anyway so the government. spending it just isn't my point. and going to be a nice change whenever it gets together usually a recipe for disaster i don't have any. i'm afraid i'm waiting to. face. it's being called a paradigm shift for the entertainment industry warner brothers studios says that next year it will debut all of its movies and cinemas in cinemas and simultaneously on its new streaming service h.b.o. max traditionally cinemas have had roughly 3 months to play movies exclusively studio executives say their strategy will be in place for a year and only apply to the u.s. market but shares in already struggling cinema operators have news john. and for

more on this unprecedented move i'm joined by scott. arts and culture correspondent scott it's good to see you for all the film buffs and big budget cinema fans out there how big a deal is this it's huge i mean obviously anyone who's in the u.s. and as a fan of fan of film probably think you know this is amazing to pay $15.00 a month and i can get i think if you clue do the wonder woman the new wonder woman of 18 warner brothers films big films for not no no extra charge and that's a huge huge deal but if you look at the broader picture and look at cinema this is devastating for the cinemas who are hoping we're counting actually on on wonder woman in the united states suit which was supposed to come out of christmas as a way of maybe bouncing back recovering a bit of the losses that they made through this year for some months of being shot . this new model that warner brothers presenting basically undercuts their business

entirely because you know why would people pay $15000.00 to go to the movies if they can you know sit home on their couch and walk the exact same movie at the exact same time so it's really interesting to see what impact this this has on the whole industry and whether or not this is a temporary measure as warner brothers is still saying it's going to be there for just doing this for the time period or if this is a marks a sea change in in the in the whole industry and if this is the way movies will be really. i'm going for it but i'm just curious as i hear you talk you know for people like me who just want to watch stuff. it's just another platform to watch it isn't it good news for consumers theoretically yes sure it means you have better access and easier access but the whole movie industry is based on a sort of a certain economic model which is based on premium presentation in cinemas where you have to pay a lot of money you get very exclusive high end content and then it goes down

through a series of other platforms where you pay less and less and less if you go from from pay t.v. all the way down in d.v.d. buying buying them on disks all the way down to free t.v. where you get the the films for free and you have to watch commercials and all at every stage of that those of that system the studios make money and all that money flows back into making films which means the films get bigger and bigger and more spectacular and so forth more more expensive if you start cutting away sections of particular that top premium section coming with the cinemas where the studios make a lot of money it all eventually trickle down and you won't have the amount of money to make these these big films a lot of these films that we're looking at doing for example $200000000.00 movie wonder woman $1400000000.00 movie it's going to be very very difficult for warner to make that back just on its online platform so will will have to say. thank you so much really appreciate it. and

a reminder of the top story we're following for you u.s. lawmakers have moved to block president donald trump's border to withdraw troops from germany the defense spending bill would require an impact assessment before any reduction can happen the pentagon in july announced plans to reduce troops in germany by nearly 12000 soldiers. up next the business news with rob watts will have another news update at the top of the hour and don't forget you can get all the latest news and information around the clock on our website dot com thanks for joining. in the far north. beyond the inhabitable world. its lonely. barren and breathtakingly beautiful. the arctic.

not the only thing shaking confidence as our financial correspondent in frankfurt. explains. on the financial markets many prices have surged in anticipation of the vaccine now of course the mood can easily be shaken by any little wrinkle in the corona rollout and problems in the production of the vaccine hiccups in the supply chains this is only one concern among investors another is the strong anti vaccination sentiment in many countries one of germany's largest health insurance companies barbara just came out with a survey where 53 percent of the people asked said yes they are willing to take the vaccine in any case or at least probably that means 47 percent of the people i asked were hesitant to accept and take the vaccine the problem is that a country in order to really the pandemic needs

a 60 percent vaccination rate. well peru is one of the nations suffering the highest levels of covered 19 deaths capita the pandemic has caused a dramatic economic crisis in the south american country more and more peruvians are going hungry or the very least facing an uncertain future. linda monka is on her way to the market she's carrying her pretty toes on her back small farmers like a linda provide 70 percent of the produce that makes it to prove in tables whatever the farmers don't use themselves is sold but since the pandemic these markets have all but disappeared. i feel very very sad because there's no money we're always worried always seeing that our children are worried. there's nowhere to get money. our products are also cheap. i hope that things recover once this virus passes along. with. the price of
