it was the century for and it's the truth monarch. was filmed with fantasy. was. the scene of a tragic. secrets clock starts december 25th. was. this fisted i mean years africa coming up on the program it seems like a recipe for disaster fears of a potential current virus outbreak plus thousands of if you're going to refugees in sudan camps are forced to share facilities also coming out to. be dentists believe it just doesn't mean that it. has been freed to. believe.

the leave it to also find out why this drop by an activist from south africa is on a mission to highlight the legacy of not deviant independence fighter and an expert book. the name is eddie michael jr your welcome to the program after fleeing fighting at home if you're going to refugees now face the risk of a cone of virus outbreak in neighboring sudan nearly 50000 people from ethiopia steve groene region after crammed into refugee camps which have inadequate healthcare facilities. under the scorching sun they wait their turn at camps like home or cuba refugees have no option really they wait for food for cash to register with aid agencies and they also share. shelter. health

workers worry that raises the chances of corona virus spreading in the already strained conditions. i was going to get in the zone in being here at least when the problem becomes bigger because the person that comes here will go back to their camp where they live surrounded by people so they could spread it very easily so they are people who are going through a difficult time while there are young people older people also people who have chronic illnesses and other diseases affecting their immune systems and add to that if cope with 19 is found here it could spread widely uncovered and now. there is a heart. health care facilities are limited and there's no covert 19 testing or treatment available the refugees themselves also concerned be afraid what if. the matter is scary when you see people together they may be infected with

corona virus people sit together and do not wear masks of course it is scary you see people always move collectively without masks of course it is scary. but. with more refugees expected to arrive the already strained humanitarian services might not cope putting this safe haven at risk of its own crisis. for more on this let's talk to john the. head of mission of m.s.f. in sudan he let the exploration mission in there. first tell us has there been any confirmed case of korban 1000 in a come so far so. many cases in the camporee i mean were there response in the east of sudan ever gotten. that sounds like pretty straightforward and good news but there's thousands of people no

masts no cubit tests a new social distancing and outbreak is more than likely isn't it indeed we are facing us of on a wave here in sudan and we know that the incidence of 19 near tikrit was also to some degree of concern when the people are wary and it's ok so. we are lacking some pest in the east of sudan and if the case is with the race and in the response it would be for some terrible consequences it's very complicated indeed to have any measures in place in the camps yeah definitely seems like challenging and now in such a difficult situation how are you protecting people from touching the virus so far we're staffing the clinics that we put in place in the ring our house khakis

well protecting our. masks and washing points and or doing this is very measures that we all know by now in the in the on the make it's much more complicated. to do the same for the thousands of people as you mentioned. every garden type that they are older. coming in boats then don't transfer being in the crowded buses and then go in crowded shelters that are not enough. they don't have enough water yet to drink or anything so it's overseen very it to us who i'm asking to washington to wash their hands when they even don't have the basics that are over. and now what do these like you as in the need to help tako the situation. oh now what side we on now are trying to get more people on the ground and more

drugs to see to school face the situation we are facing both of you heard that on from their treatment of the n.h.s. which is a massive and messy sure and then regarding could be 19 easy in case it arise what is going to be completely still find appropriate isolation centers and. is at the moment i think it would be over in the cup best of the house care system so that ok now the zone all that's happening in the number of people and possibly more people coming how much longer can you support the people in the comp. as emma said we are committed to respond as long as there will be people in the camp and the transit areas which is still going see if you can for some or their organization and the rest of the i didn't see the end of the year so for everybody the end of the imus show year so it's over you see i mentioned resources and

resources to find to mobilize. some so much resources on such a crisis and to me that of the on the me there were like and they mean ok we do hope that it's definitely received soon are out of leads are. done go out of mission of a missive in sudan thank you for your time thank you. let's not take a look at some other stories making news across the continent liberians are voted on the referendum which you plan to shorten 1st then sometimes presidents george reus critics fear he could use the change to cling to power using templates relative novelle to full region where agent precedence of used institutional changes to who don't. from a south african president jacob zuma corruption trial has been postponed to february the ex-president faces multiple charges including throat and money

he's a descendant of the namibian independence fighter and this advocating for taking pride in one's own heritage. but boy the title of humility assumes latest release the track is an ode to compton hendrik of a boy unama chief. vit boy died fighting german colonial troops in present day namibia south african rapper humid because some is a direct descendant of it boys his goal inspiring people to take pride in their ancestry. we don't have that icons of people who are off. shore. or whatever and so it's so important for people to have that to to i think a 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 boo but i'd say what i was your how do you speak it's not substandard of this or whatever this is so important this is one of the most important things that the big africans picture needed right now is you look team must and is the love because he knows but denialism to see this fun fun at least gloomy digger as 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. and i remember there was a time we were to get the book of enoch would boy and he wind through mountains to actually just get a copy and the actually let's leave early member could be actually made copies or even a single page. the search is reflected on the rapid skin kind of saucy it took to the face and seal of the now my chief on to humid because some arm the reason he is on my arm is because there's no need to reach you find inside africa and in that exact place said it in one of my songs i say you give me an elson. you know it's the equivalent but you'll find nothing and yet he's a born here in namibia hendrik of it 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 here mobius some stumbled upon a feature on his ancestor by d.w. african roots series. i like using what's the order and why 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. which is and i contact them immediately and 2 days later she came back to. everything and there's this glimmer of light so i'm so happy that all of them just said yes believe that the resulting video is a powerful tribute to him brick but boy i could just see a few mobius sim is proud to said that. but. and i'll tell you up on this show so which african legend would you up about now while you're thinking about we leave you with more

every journey begins with the 1st step and every language the 1st word alone can cause niko peace in germany to such. why not learn with him. to suffer it's simple online on your mobile and free. t w z e learning course. german made easy. for me award winning entertainer chilli gonzalez may not be a good guy you'd expect to put out a christmas album but i mean you're 2020 he could be just the right person for the job. i'll be talking with charlie about has a rather melancholy christmas album

a very chilly christmas coming up on arts and culture and later on the show. some call it the comedy of the year another round the danish movie about danger inking and the male midlife crisis so here from our film expert. first the canadian musician jason back aka chilly gonzales felt that this year christmas needed a different soundtrack west cheerful less commercial so he got to work putting together his own album for the holidays a record that sounds more like christmas 2020 most of the songs are familiar but the sound is more intimate at times dissonant even lonely. a very chilly christmas. the album opens with a dramatic rendition of silent night one thing is clear this isn't going to be your

usual christmas album. and why should it be it's not a normal christmas this year and chilly gonzales isn't a normal musician. from classical to jazz to hip hop for decades he's made them all his own. take the drugs. you think we'll. take. that came to a good thing as a face to face because the face the big change. now he's giving classic christmas carols such as jingle bells some minor key changes. the album also features collaboration's with the singers jarvis cocker and leslie fice. here to tell us more chilli

gonzales welcome to arts and culture one really fascinating thing about this album is actually your own relationship with christmas you grew up in a secular jewish family you've said that you actually don't even like christmas so how did you end up making a christmas album. well i don't like what christmas has become which is you know when it when i think you are jewish family celebrates christmas it's not to convert to christianity is to assimilate to you know as i say it's not jesus it's santa claus it's about gift giving it's about consumerism and about capitalism and you know my only way into christmas as a kid was at the piano to lead a sing along and then i could believe in it and that's why i made this album as a kind of get back to that very intimate way recorded here at home on my upright piano with my musical family jarvis cocker and feist because i feel that's missing

i feel those songs have become corrupted by their use and you know soundtracks for commercials and cynical entertainers cashing in year after year i want to try to provide a bit of an engine joke to that but i've always had mixed feelings at christmas because of the gap between a kind of dream that we're sold and what reality is so i made this christmas album for those like me i would say i don't like christmas but i have very a cocktail complex emotions and say that i wanted my albums are ok so let's talk about the songs themselves a lot of christmas classics that people will recognize what what is special about these songs for you why did you want to record them. well the carrolls on one side which is the bulk of my album they're full korea's ik that means that it comes from a time before the culture of the individual it's when music really had a social role to play that's why the songs tend to be very easy for kids or you know drunk people to sing along with they usually are based on scales like the 1st no well.

you can hear it just like a staircase going up rejoins or the world is famously just a descending scale. that's inclusive christmas music then fast forward so you know the eighty's and ninety's i want to make sure i had some modern christmas classics under as well last christmas by wham and all i want for christmas is you by mariah carey and as you'll see physically how my handle is all over the keyboard this is a virtual 6 on and a drunk person just can't keep up with this even if they sing into their beer bottle as a fake microphone just watch how different is it. wants to jump. to geno's. time stuff to think that's not a thing about for most of us certainly not for me. well there you go so i needed to take those pop songs in a way turn them into carols and you take mariah's strident hairdryer of

a voice and sort of remove it all i want for christmas so that you can sort of get a clear shot of what the musical material is you play last christmas on the piano very simply. you don't have the synthesizers the drum machine or the app priest keys what is that they're wearing in the video where they're having a snowball fight all of that is gone and you're left with just right hand melody left hand harmony and in a way i tried to take the individual out of those pop songs and turn them into those kind of selfless carols christmas carols don't have the word i and that's what i think is so fascinating we've lost a lot of that because our music now is much more about the glorification of the artist but by playing things on a piano you can sort of divorce or a sort of you know you know surgically remove the personality of george michael or the towering persona of mariah carey and the songs can maybe be you know considered

folk music modern day folk music in that setting right chili gonzalez you really turned mariah carey into almost a solemn christmas song that people can enjoy at home maybe by themselves the theory is that it's a very different christmas for a lot of people thanks so much for coming on arts and culture thanks for having me . and a few headlines now the mystery is growing around a series of unexplained metal monoliths that have appeared in several countries now with no explanation found the latest one in a dutch nature reserve and park rangers don't know how it got there similar structures have already appeared in the u.k. and romania where this 4 meter monolith appeared and a few days later disappeared the phenomenon started late last month in the united states where the 1st of these sculptures appeared in the desert in utah before it was also mysteriously removed. how about

a date with the mona lisa the louvre museum in paris is auction off the chance to see her famous 500 year old smile up close during the paintings annual check up the museums trying to raise funds after shutting again due to the coronavirus the movie expects this year's revenue losses to total as much as $90000000.00 euros. while the front runner at this year's european film award is a midlife crisis comedy from denmark another round by director thomas vinterberg the movie starts with a potentially dangerous philosophical premise one that the characters a group of bored high school teachers decide to put into practice here's the scene he defeated in the field stuff she gave a field scolded of which of them and i for one was so vital that they ask for those giving. them a good night he to. meet that means the food can help me to feel it's.

ok and then i'm on the scent not. in any. and any immediate pleasure to me as it comes across that hard and put it ahead of the only link at me as this comes up like the leaves in the other yeah. and the path i just pull at nomen happened and it headed in the leap to the. side of that little cynthia's need me i'll slap in the. hot and the see case. simply and i. did over the phone my experts got roxburgh is here with me now ok so we just watched the set up of the film for teachers tried to start decide to try a day drinking in order to revitalize their lives kind of how does that go yeah initially it works out great these start they start oh well you get your the day.

and they're using breathalyzers to check to see what they were blood alcohol level is so they can keep it at a constant level and so initially as i say they start start doing this they have rules that only drinking during the day and it goes great there i think i'm better teachers become more engaged they start to really enjoy life. again and they think well this is working out really well so being a little bit drunk feels good what used to drive a lot drunk and and then the movie progressed from there wow ok so. mind to understand that this is a pro alcoholism film no definitely not i read this films from thomas he's known for his socially critical dramas this is a comedy but he knows how to go dark and so we do see as they start to drink to excess we do see things start to get ugly you see how excessive alcohol can you know ruin relationships can can ruin lives i'm so we see all that and in the film but really and despite the premise of the movie this isn't really

a movie about alcohol it's actually more boat i don't philosophy of life i talk to thomas than to the director and he said that. he feels that everything that's worth experiencing in life whether it's with great art or even falling in love is all about giving up control and embracing the good and the bad in life and he himself is a father of 3 kids and he said he worries that young people today like the school kids in this film they're there too worried about not giving up control they're there they're there they have their great anxiety or they have to get good grades think a good job if they don't get a good job to fall behind and so forth and so on so that they that they're really worried about taking the risk of giving up control is in the missing out so much in life so by not giving up control and so being drunk in this film is more of a metaphor for for giving up control and embracing the good in the bad the sort of the risky business of life itself where it's really notable. this film is coming

out now when we're all trying to control ourselves so much with the pandemic and doing things right yeah actually i think it's really really interesting cause right now we are so cold we have to be you know you know can't can barely go out if we go you have to wear a mask we have to keep distance we're under so much control right now and so i seen this movie really shows us what we're missing and i think all of us you know when this pandemic ends we just want to be able to do this again to you know embrace life to get it and give up control with with without alcohol but until then we do have this movie ok so this movie had time for losing control when we can't lose control scott writes for a thanks so much and that's almost it for this edition of arts and culture scott and i will leave you now there with the latest work by italian artist and former farmer daddio gone bad even or used his tractor to plow a portrait of composer would be fun but he tovan were 250 years ago this month thanks for watching.
