people live close together interacting on a daily basis social distancing is almost impossible now that schools have reopened pupils a waiting in line to get in. kenya is one of the last countries in east africa to fully reopen its schools according to the world health organization prolonged school closures plus risks children from poor backgrounds like here for example higher rates of teen pregnancies born attrition and dropouts some of the reasons why the kenyan government said it was time to finally fully reopen schools. janet ones yet is excited to finally bring her daughter virginia back to school yet she is very aware of the risk. didn't mention jane is when displayed a child for. not even. even a common cause other. diseases because the many

many called age about. after they arrived they have the temperature measured and abortion senate ties the hands that's the new normal at primary school for girls $347.00 girls are expected in the next few days divided into classes of roughly 20 pupils a distance of one meter can be maintained but still there are challenges. to wearing of their masks wolf which is not easy for them because they have to be on their mass production they were already so inflamed they're making they're telling you we need to create. this school as well place to deal with covert restrictions as it can provide the water space and masks to their pupils for free many other schools in kenya cannot it's possible because it belongs to shuffle an international organization that's funded mainly by private american donors teachers here were trained by health officials some classes even have 2 teachers parents feel that children are safer here than at home we have it or i would say we have

been told the children are privileged that able to social descent that able to. get medical treatment tweak she's not come on to everybody who lives there on this how do you think you are was yesterday despite the measures virginia is just happy to be back at school was and the correspondent mario mona filed the report you just saw she joins me now from our bureau in nairobi good to see you also obviously one school there but you profiled in to bear about how our schools across the country fairing. so up to 16000000 kenyan schoolchildren have returned to school on monday and have you seen in the report there were huge lines that we filmed actually outside of public schools not at the school also and also of course the school where we filmed but also is that public schools so their conditions are quite different it's not a saves not us comfortable teachers they're actually caution and they say they say

schools are actually overcrowded under-funded and therefore ill prepared for reopening because according to them there were no new provisions taking place in order to maintain the social distance of one meter inside classrooms and while the kenyan government said they will provide $7000000.00 masks to children from poor backgrounds but at the same time they have made it a short of $1000000.00 masks so in the end it's clear that parents mostly have to step in and pay. and how do people feel about schools opening up to 9 months. so actually people's parents where very happy especially the students but parents are very worried also they said well it's not very realistic people younger children are actually playing all sides they hug you know they have to you have to remind them constantly that they have to wear the mask and also classroom size

didn't change they're still the same but there are more children in some cases because private schools actually in kenya had to close down some of them at least because of the break and because of the loss of income so parents had to look for new schools for the children and they were these were mostly public schools so there's that that's a big. worry. schools were closed for 9 months how did that impact the curriculum and and what have you cation officials done in response. so a teachers we spoke to today they told us yes they expect especially younger children that they have gotten mostly not everything but a lot at least so they have to repeat a lot in some cases some call it some schools were actually able to keep in touch to bring paperworks to their homes because in most schools especially in poorer

neighborhoods like kibera there are no laptops no computers available so that the children could learn from school from home so very difficult conditions for many kenyan right will children and now they're expected to actually have repeat and briefly maria what is the general called that situation in kenya at the moment so the numbers of cases and deaths have been reducing in the last few weeks according to the ministry of health and the johns hopkins university is latest numbers indicate that there have been nearly 1700 death cases of course always bearing in mind that there has been reported cases the number of reported cases is probably much higher so now the biggest fear also after the holiday season people went to visit their friends and family for christmas and the updated number might be much higher and that schools could actually turn to a hot bed of the news of the disease. plays not enough that's neither of these merry little reporting for us in nairobi thank you president for steen our

charge toward iran has one central african republic sprays eventually election he's secured more than 53 percent of the vote in the evening action which was held on the 27th of december the vote was marred by violence by armed rebel groups who try to disrupt the election one of the president's biggest tasks will be to revive a shattered peace deal and handle a growing rebellion from several groups. it was the party to our their supporters had long been waiting for. after years of conflict and an election marked by violence many people here hope the president will bring peace. to. the people do not need the weapons to take power we have suffered so much and today you can see what the president has done to bring this

country forward so it's totally understandable that people here voted for him. elections on the 27th of december ran relatively smooth despite the opposition calling it a farce and armed violence in many rule areas. on monday the electoral commission announced 2 of their us win with over 50 percent of the votes . but it's not going to be an easy ride for the president the rebel coalition have continued that tax and says it does not accept the election result and now threatens to attack the capital bangui if the government does not engage in dialogue. the country is still reeling from a civil war in 2013 when muslim and christian groups clashed over political control and access to the country's past been all resources 7. the un has over

$12000.00 peacekeepers on the ground and despite a peace deal violence and human rights abuses have continued. for the president to succeed he has to start talks with the rebel coalition and try to revive whatever is left of a shattered peace agreement. our next story is in cameroon separatist conflict has been raging for the is leaving more than 2000 people dead people in the english speaking french majority. country have long felt discriminated against by the government in yellow and it in 2016 rebels in the northwest and southwest regions declared an independent state quote we met a former fighter who is now in a reintegration program. for kingsley this chicken coop is the most peaceful place he's been in the last few years kingsley used to be an amazonian independence fighter here in some 200 rebels attacks the cameron

military 3 years ago in their quest for a new independent state. so many people have joined my friends. this agenda so so in the oceans. joined in because it was and that everything would be fine. but he ultimately surrendered to authorities assigned him to this reintegration center where hundreds of former fighters receive training. they learn sewing computer programming and chicken farming like kingsley before we begin filming the head of the center made sure the place was cleaned up he's apparently keen to counter the state's brutal image many people here still see the military and the government as their enemy. when it is what i feel i want to do want to cause trouble the middle is with

a friend and anybody who is living it will come to this and it's a friend so the person is received. also the grass and on by the military forces who are guarding the center. in 2016 cameroon's mostly english speaking citizens took to the streets of bomb and they were protesting what they said was neglect by the majority french speaking government in the cameroonian capital but the government responded violently thousands have died since then many trusts neither the government nor the military this insurance is due is a moment days davis says most. of the need to know what did he does that do involve it it doesn't has to be very angry he did. back at the reintegration center kingsley says he doesn't regret his decision to flee from the separatists even though he hasn't been allowed to leave the strictly guarded center for almost a year due to security reasons he fears the danger of possible revenge attacks by

the embers only in fighters kingsley believes he will never be able to return to his home village. and that's all filed by them say we'll see you next time. why are people forced to hide in trucks. there are many reasons. and there are many

answers. and there are many stories. make up your own mind. and. wu made for mines. more than 40 years ago stephen king wrote the stand about a deadly virus and the scary world it leaves behind. too soon to watch the series we'll check out the stand and other fictional pandemic stories coming up and later on the show how the swiss playwright 50 to one about to lift off crowdfunding

back in the 1950 s. before there was crowdfunding. you're welcome to arts and culture most of us these days are looking for distraction from the pandemic but some are excited about watching more pandemics and movies and series here's a look at what's playing starting with the stand featuring a new ending written by stephen king himself the story starts 5 months after a bioengineered super flu has decimated the world's population directed by josh boone this new and timely adaptation of stephen king's 978 novel the stand is not about viral epidemic as such but it uses one to set the scene for a battle of good versus evil. on the one side there's a mysterious centenarian played by will be goldberg. hello friend of. my day is abigail fremantle. you come see me at every foot

hole colorado kid you remember that for. fremantle drawings have followers been infiltrating their dreams. but many choose the dark side following alexander skull scarred as randall flag was . told it was more i will try my son and. stephen king not content with the original ending of his sprawling nothing personal script is a new one the stand is a vision of a world blasted by a plague with a survivors' force to take sides. another series planned before the pandemic and now with added timeliness is the german danish

series slobodan written directed and filmed by christian albert so born sees a north sea island community confronted with a fatal virus and what's your india talking influence of history that. the epic series explores what happens when the thin veneer of civilization is removed. i. have to. this is going to be yourself i. cannot. cut. this series was nearly pulled after broadcasters expressed concern that it might be too close to reality for some viewers to cope with. but it is something that also specify that real and didn't invite you to its success a 2nd season is now in the works. with or without

a pandemic terry get. 1906 dystopian 12 monkeys starring bruce willis and brad pitt remains a modern science fine masterpiece. grazer. the film's 25 year anniversary rerelease has only full in june the coronavirus pandemic giving its predictions a lot more punch. pandemic films old and new and the very real coronavirus pandemic is also changing the film industry my colleague michael kroger has got more on that. some of the big changes we're seeing in the movie industry are happening actually where the coronavirus started in china absolutely the people there are going all right the. restaurant they're going to the clubs and they're going to the cinema us. yet and for the 1st time in film history the chinese movie theaters big box office the u.s.

ones which is not really surprised you the crew on a pandemic especially over the past a weekend they set a record high on around 162000000 euro by the way exclusively with chinese films and everybody is wearing a mask it's a bit different but i have to admit i've really enjoy watching people watching film and i'm also a bit jealous. of hope for you to come for the rest of us in some not so distant future we'll talk more in just a moment but 1st what are movie theaters going to do with all those films they couldn't show last year. the number of films held back from release in 2020 is considerable so could there be a glass of movies in the cinemas this year will james bond have to fight it out with other film heroes of the box office film journalist cameron crowe son of each says that's unlikely. and they schedule films so they don't cannibalize each others

week there have been some movements toward shortening the window and the window is for exhibitors how long it's going to be on the big screen at your local can't you know solar plexus then it will go it will go to either blu ray or d.v.d. or streaming there is a shortening of that which endangered 6 exhibition but for the most part i think we're going to look forward to a really great 2021 and possibly even better 2022 and she cautions against worrying too much that streaming services will be the death of movie theaters once kind of it is a thing of the past. so now i think people are looking at people thinking all streaming is going to take over cinema exhibition well it won't because the income from streaming still cannot cannot even vied with what they get from from cinema releases so there's that also with netflix netflix in their favor there's

a lot of original content even for feature films but they're very strange about putting out financial figures so we don't really know what money they're making and what they're saying. mike and i are back and michael maybe it's encouraging for us to remember that this pandemic is actually not the 1st big crisis that the movie industry is not it isn't it isn't at all looking back at the history of cinema they have been so many crisis. and that flick let you know they started with the d.v.d.'s and which many thought could be the end of cinema us as well but before that there was the h s do you remember if you look at this month one thing i want to be if you want to video recorders and i do remember also the back picture and sound quality of the movies which might have been why it didn't kill movie theaters either and before that was of course television. yeah which many also addicted would be the end of cinema it wasn't

a great yes but they survived the 1st world war for example nearly destroyed also the european film industry but at the same time you know they invented hollywood so the theater always involved in the depth. yeah some very historical cinemas some say shit transformed into museums ok michael thank you for reminding us that there is reason to hope speaking of history as well well last week cinema very quietly celebrated its 100 and 25th birthday of course 125 years ago there weren't cinemas to speak of but that's when the brothers in france we should their very 1st moving pictures to an audience what films do they show because there was no industry and they invented a device which was a camera and a project at the same time they did little films from the daily life situations not really a big sensation but it was moving images were a big sensation we have an example of the 1st film though it was shown with this

train from today's perspective quite boring but the people in the audience were absolutely scared they were afraid that the train could run over them all the. i have just filmed the work of their own factoring maybe you can see this as well yeah there's so many other examples you can find them easily on the you tube channel institute limb here and after that the development read really fast absolutely it's amazing to look back and see how different the films were how different people's perception was thanks so much. the director of animated films including spirited away and princes modern ok is celebrating his 80th birthday legendary japanese animator and oscar winner and yes zaki made movie history bringing japanese animation to a global audience while creating some of his country's highest grossing films and for the new year me as arky put out an illustration showing 2021 as an ox crushing
