yeah well it was his country for so many fights these days aware of a new movie conflict. in 60 minutes. for over russian home the 4th time for the most recent. days at the nasa dragons as well as a call to home to 3 years. on. business do you have any news africa on the program today chaos and con just in at a keyboard and post thousands also involve clearance wanting to get into south africa have a strategy at the border they've been there for days. and we're in cameroon and head off next streets african nations football championship.

hello i'm the it's good to have your company fear is all growing off a humanitarian crisis at south african border post as thousands of people from zimbabwe and of a countries remain stuck the crowds have been increasing by bridge crossing for days as try to get back into south africa off to the face of season and also a hard lockdown in their own country the backlog is be exacerbated by a requirement that travel is be able to produce a negative cold at $900.00 test results and also restrictions on both sides of the border. for more on this story we're going to. get a who's in zimbabwe's capital had a privilege most of the people trying to get into south africa ah zimbabweans tell us more about them why are they.

it's a mode of startup pushing them to cross over to south africa you have to categories of people. normally go to buy goods in south africa to resell in zimbabwe and the largest group of people who want to cross to so africa to get jobs some they work in south africa already but they had come for the festive season to zimbabwe but these people most of the them do not have. papers like your immigration papers or payments to aiken south africa they usually just go. but this time around because of 19 so africa is also tight and there are systems for people who are coming in they are requiring all of the tests results and all but some of these people cannot afford to get

a test in zimbabwe because their course is also high so that's the reason why you find that the border is now having too much or people who are piling up were trying to write. about that pressure that congestion let's talk about the reasons for that and all the authorities in south africa and zimbabwe are doing anything to diffuse the situation. under suffolk inside so that is tightening its own security. allowing people to come into so they have been instances where people are making the treated us you know cross or. imported by the crocodile infested river some using boats and also makeshift. to cross over there even so you find so that state and its borders but on the zimbabwean side you find that zimbabwe may not have much to do because it doesn't

government is a quite weary about what is happening and therefore they had to impose they look down we've started $12.00 is that the 5th of january privilege how is the country coping with this infections as you say. government authorities unlike before they have all pinned up they are saying this in the health system is being overrun it's overwhelmed most of the public or if errol the toes are not so it's coming it's a time when zimbabwe already has its own health system on its knees we had a long time where. doctors have been on strike so that alone. is putting pressure on the health system in zimbabwe right that's privileged in how to thank you privilege now

a wildlife reserve in the republic of congo is raising gorillas often by poachers with the aim of eventually releasing them into the wild western lowland gorillas are listed as critically endangered and their population has been reduced by around 60 percent because of poaching habitat loss and disease outbreaks. this country around 140 kilometers north of congress capital brussels hill. over the last 25 years the population of the western lowland gorilla has struck by 60 percent here at the national gorilla preserve the gonzalez patrol to track the gorillas but also watch out for poachers. the focus is to protect the young that have lost their parents due to poaching. the 1st iteration is to find the baby gorillas look after them and then the released into the wild so that

the species. in the last 20 years. have been raised here and then later released back into the wild. but the animals are vulnerable to human diseases and now with the coronavirus restrictions are even tighter and very few visits i'm now allowed. food is delivered by boat and dropped at a safe distance. but the gods are still trying to keep a special relationship with the young gorillas. a lot of time with the gorillas they've become like children. but running of it in such a remote area is difficult task. under

pressure from the growing population in the region but also from hunters all the way from brussels to hunt. the government plans to fight poaching visitor numbers so that the park creates jobs the economy everyone in the area. kenya has one of the bull's strictest bans on the use and manufacture of plastic bags that's environmental activists say kenya and countries around the world must simply stop producing single use plastics and sell then one company has found a means of making a profit from such plastic. in the mountains of waste at this nairobi garbage dump the workers chipped away to salvage or recycle some of the

city's trash but they barely make a dent and some 500 metric tons of plastic waste generated every day here. in another part of the city an alternative effort started by a group of 4 engineers and focused on some of the plastic that would otherwise just and to nairobi's trash problem. so that he decided lead it's like a plug where instead of having the plastic to go to the dam site we like to turn that week and hence start to influence the making business is called gen game makers and they recycle stuff like cooking oil containers drink bottles and bottle caps shredding it melting it reshaping it to make bricks for paving outdoor landscapes which is that they saw an opportunity because wisdom itself is a resource gen game makers mainly sells its plastic paving bricks to homeowners and

to schools in various colors depending it turns out on the original color of the trash from which they were made. walking on them freedoms like you're walking on rubber because i i understand their medals they also have some plastic in them then that are mentally friendly they're also beautiful because you get different colors . they won't solve kenya's plastic waste problem but game makers make at least a small difference in battling a mountainous issue. and cameron will be hosting the african nations football championship next week it's going to be the continent's biggest sporting event since the current affairs outbreak last year many high profile football events was suspended due to the pandemic however the court of ice has changed the way that's what i meant will be paid as. reports now from cameroon who in moscow for these years african nations championship begun. before the people

dot com forward slash africa also on facebook and on today we'll see if it's had a back. story of producing propaganda. they were called the rhineland bastards born after the 1st world war. the mothers were germans living in the occupied drawing land their father's soldiers from the french colonies.

german children had a hard time because they were reminder of the german defeat. exclusion and control culminating in forced sterilization under the nazis. this documentary examines the few traces that remain of their existence. the children of shame. storage january 11th on g.w. . the grammy awards have been postponed but we've still got plenty of arts and culture for you coming up we've even got last year's big grammy winner billie i wish as an edible sculpture and she's not alone. and also on the show would be a electronic jazz group quartet. a special garage concert.

all that coming up in a moment but 1st a real life were refugees as the hero of a comic book startup now meek thought his own harrowing escape from iraq and his new life in germany would make a good science fiction story so he pitched it to an organization called new patriots the group helps normal people commission and finance works of art. find crates of comic books i handed over to the man who commissioned. me. the cop from the new patrons organization who put nomic in touch with the comic book is also happy end to an improbable story. alexander caught from new patrons and the artistic team from the very beginning we put heart and soul into this and work that we earnestly on the comic but it was

a fantastic experience for me in germany. the fictional comic is spun around nomics story after a happy childhood to protect against 3 says homeland because of droughts he ends up in a fictitious camp called temple just outside the walls of a futuristic berlin in the camp the refugee faces many trials and tribulations. in real life nomic fled from islamic state terrorists in northern iraq in 2016 the 22 year old 3rd spent a year in emergency accommodation at the former temple. that's where he heard about the new patrons and with their supports he created the comic together with author bruce sterling and and illustrator.

everything i do is my artistic interpretation but the original idea came from south he. cuts off from his roots the south in the comic experience is violence and to rejection in a monolithic temple might is right. but he also experiences solidarity the creation of the comic is a small miracle made possible largely due to the efforts of the new patrons organization. my colleague michael kruger has more on this initiative so obviously most people can't afford to just commission a comic book and new patrons comes in who exactly is behind it and how does it work well 1st of all. and that was network was founded a couple of years ago in france and they grew bigger now and starting now in germany. the goal is that as you said just normal people can

come and say hey of it just a great idea for an artwork our cultural facility and the network that means the mentors are then just there to help you to realize everything the establish the contracts context with the artist for example and he are a few examples of projects they have already completed so art and culture accessible to everyone and that means really everyone not just some exclusive circle which may feel a little bit excluded so how does this work with the oppositions i'm guessing you can't just apply and say hey i really need some beauty i need some beautiful art for my bathroom and there's an there's a criteria for your good to be true you can that's that's that's true no every mission should benefit the whole community 1st of all and making the finances financing possible is also great art and that needs marketing so there must be

somehow a public interest and we have a great example for that a french family which lost their son to the bottle i take in 2015 commissioned a song the composition was just premiered by the public chambre orchestra in december and sometimes the new patrons don't have really a concrete idea and. the network is helping to look what's really possible and there we have also a good example from booklet in germany from a very tiny district of stein who fit some of the elderly residents wanted to commission just some artwork any art work something which could bring together the people in their community the network brought them. i gather with the collective mini potter called and they developed together the idea of a mole by theatre on

a truck which comes to the different villages if the pandemic will let them could start. some really moving projects michael this is an international initiative just quickly how many countries are part of this. in the moment in europe it's round about 8 different countries they expand there's also a project in africa and cameroon for example which is very exciting and i guess we should stay in contact with this network and i hope to hear a little bit more from them soon and what i'm really looking forward to that michael krueger thanks so much. former bond girl and charlie's angels star tanya roberts has died of an infection this comes after roberts' publicist prematurely announced her death and then retracted that announcement a day earlier while the actress was still alive with her steely blue eyes roberts
