forward to the social inequality a lack of the freedom of the press and. work on the 4th to stay silent when it comes to the fans of the humans and see them right the poles who have decided to put their trust in us. my name is johnny carson and i work. this is deja news africa on the program today uganda on the eve of the showdown election polls all 6 to open in just a few hours from now but there are fears off to a violent campaign and this warning from president you where it was 7. decision 4 g.'s fully that all. could you do with any trouble major.

and the grief stricken families who've lost loved ones in the cold at 19 pending. hello i'm christine one it's good to have your company ugandans are about to vote in an election in which one of the world's longest serving presidents is seeking to extend his 35 year rule uganda has a young population that most registered voters have only even though 70 as their president say vinnie's main challenge is the populace into bobby wine whose real name is rob it's like now the international community has expressed concern over the credibility of the votes scores of people have been killed and opposition candidates support. his and campaign staff have been repeatedly embraced it and

intimidated. now people in the capital kampala expressed fear ahead of the poll many have already left the capital concerned that the violence could break out further evidence of me that i hope for the elections to end in peace because this is our country and we're not going anywhere those who have money have left that for us the pool we have remained in the city. prove it almost born is that elections are saying that it was a little dish and not all countries. in that reportedly were not only good in villages they don't know the future we cannot topple for free on faith and also i think the government should come out and explain the difficult at least getting out of diligent didn't get these a little bit out the storm and other people not getting to question doesn't someone

that's weak and. is in kampala with more on the story good to see you today so we've just been listening to people saying that they are afraid of more violence as the vote draws closer what is the mood in the country i think that people who are afraid to violence are many recent simplex that i'm drabble s.c.r. on them because this is one of the most. bloody campaigns that it's our most violent abusive part in november you might recall we lost almost all of that 54 people more than 50 people. firings so you my genius that's happened during companies and i want to hop into and they should so this is their mood that it's creating our course the country with very many people saying that in case their rights in case there was a jewish anything can go by that they are all reasons not to sink today it's to morrow might be anything just let's have a listen to president was 70 and i want to ask you something about what he's just going to say. there have been prophecies over intimidation

well whispers of the position people have been sitting people come out on the board . with the security forces they're ready to defend you there are 4 don't feel in a siege come out and vote nobody would intimidate you did you know what do you if it would it tries to do that which will lead to. a stern warning from president was 70 a genius but is there more to be read into what he's saying. i think there is more to the read into what he's saying because why would you mention fear i think ahead of the state he's already in isn't that far that they see it coming out to say that this experience and will defend your ground is to go on for this if there peacefully it means he has a radio mags that finds that there is yet not want to read what many are going and how many people are into reaching this is that the horrors election is very likely

not be that the usual issues that divide in the last 4 rounds so to morrow is likely to be a very very different election i'm just i'm warning that to present a sports resource or going out to people ops were intending to demonstrate intending to protest all right he said he's telling them to get it as they were not to give them a chance it's clear that the main challenge of bobby why it is a threat to all is seen as a threat to the president who am a 70 just judging by how the authorities have have suppressed his campaign and even before the pandemic really but that's he have a chance genius. anyone who has a challenge some serious crazy day jury must sit and watch the grammys were decided tomorrow is i'd anticipated you know it's pretty joe who is going to when he said mission will be one years has a chance because he's been calling us out of book to give us a chance to do to the voice tomorrow and if they really avoid like he has been

asking them to let they've been promising here then he hasn't asked us though so on the other side very important to note that praise ensures that it has also been busy campaigning and he's an old soul these yeahs going to be taken for granted so kind of the obvious as i should say. it to people in uganda i think that the election will be free and fair. ah being free and fair yeah some ugandan's will sing that delusion will be free and set by the opposition for a very long time by the hour not just in this election they have made it clear that they do not doubt confidence in the uganda's election commission and this is the body that is organizing the election tomorrow but regardless of them saying that they do not talk on to the commission they're called and they are people not to sit back or to call in big numbers and turn up to court so talking about free unfair also goes to where does someone for when it comes to their political divide those supporting their governmental to be clear that this is the election to go for those against the government to tell you that it is unlikely that the election will be

free and fair. right that city has become the reporting income palace for us thank you cheney it's. just about one year into the coronavirus pandemic and the number of people contracting the disease and dying from it is rising in africa most countries on the continent are experiencing the 2nd wave off the spread of the virus which has been deadly in kenya $1716.00 people have died d w r's bonded each of committee met with families in nairobi who have been impacted by the pandemic july was the toughest month in 2020 for sure maria key and her family her father john real key tested positive for 1000 his symptoms initially not severe allowed him to remain home with his family to care of him. a week later he was taken ill and admitted to an isolation ward at the time the number of those

infected in kenya stood at just under 10 pounds and and even though the figure paled in comparison to global numbers she wrote a broadcast journalist knew that at 71 and diaby take her father was among the most vulnerable to the virus and she was worried. when the 1st death was announced in kenya it was a 65 year old man with their beauties that terrified me even more because i was late 1st of all to someone who is younger than my father with the same condition and he's passed away from covert 90 so that to me in fact i was more afraid than my parents were exactly a week after he was admitted she was father died from coheed related complications .

so 1st of all you talked about this. so. what was the most heartbreaking is that my father gave a lot of. he didn't see human faces the entire time i was in hospital everyone was it completely. it's really heartbreaking and the only way today just as sure as family was dealt a blow kenya's capital nairobi little. despite strict coverage regulations things like these were commonplace that july the number of those infected rose to over 16000 people. tatiana qur'an jan apart now we are 2 of those newly infected tatiana took to social media to share the news video went viral i was so worried. it confirmed that younger people were also being infected and naturally the main

concern was her children and i wasn't sleeping properly because i need to catch anything that was very difficult for me and i also felt a bit lonely like you need to really hear people to you didn't hear people talking about it so already from the beginning i said well my god everyone in this country is going to be like i never want to see this family again i don't know i had all this yeah i had. i just i was really scared about that as well. for shiro who also tested positive for covert 19 the virus has left an open wound and something even more elusive closure we didn't get to give him the funeral we felt he deserved and we. you know how they were burying people. how we but we buried him just went through in the face of in the culture we knew about so it almost felt like we threw him away. shiro is one of more than 1700 families who've lost

i was issued when i arrived here i slept with 6 people in a room. it was hard i was for. i even got white hair. in the german language and nodded off this keeps me and could help us maybe to interrupt words and say you want to know their story. their fighting and reliable information for margaret. imagine walking 11000 kilometers around the coast of the u.k. braving every wind weather and landscape a british photographer quentin lake did just that and we'll see what he has to show for it also coming up. with big budget series like delhi crime and tundra then major streaming services are changing the television landscape in india

and the usual for a few. welcome to the show for anyone still mourning the recent loss of great britain from the european union here is a chance to appreciate it far from the politics of westminster in april 2015 quinten lake set out from london to walk the entire coastline of england scotland and wales he did it in sections following the coast clockwise and taking pictures as he went and the resulting project the perimeter showcases the true mystery of his island. to coast close to east born in the south of england is known for its chalk cliffs that rise high above the sea hiking enthusiastic and photographer quinten like came past here to for his long term project titled the perimeter he walks right around the coast of britain taking photos along the way. my

rows were no no transport all so that the coppers i would walk around i wouldn't take any bugs and i mostly slept in the tantrums i'm self sufficient for 5 days at a time so power for the camera and 5 days of food 5 days of fuel and every 5th day i was trying to put some which charger forgot. in april 25th day clinton set off from london he started by walking to the thames estuary and then along the british coast clockwise through england wales and scotland. over the course of 5 use the ward winning landscape an architecture photographer walked around the island in sections that usually took him $2.00 to $9.00 weeks to complete it was his most elaborate project to date. come rain or shine quintin lake had to put up with nature's caprices no matter what season of the year it was.

surrounded by nature winds and lake was on his own for most of the journey along the coast. injury as well as the 1st lock down measures to tackle the corona pandemic meant that clinton was forced to interrupt his journey several times. but the magnificent views made up for the setback. it was the diversity of the british coastal regions that really impress. quinten. my favorite place in wales probably barmouth bridge because you have this beautiful victorian pridgen in the park and you have car interests and the beautiful mountain city in england the favorite beer on the lizard in the south coast. and scot on which is my favor of the 3 countries would be the odd part so the odd an american prince here on the west or the knocked up mention. to support his geometric abstract photography

clinton decided to use a square format principles photographs can be bought on e website the project has also changed clinton's very own view of britain. britain is definitely 3 countries but even within those 3 countries i see it as a group of 5 people who love and marry their own individual patch and how they see it and overall i see it as a much wider country after a total of around 11000 kilometers and after having walked for $454.00 days clinton lake finally got back to the starting point london st paul's cathedral to london itself to me my family and my friends and felt fantastic i did get to know myself better especially physically and when something whether mattered or it didn't matter so much i learned when i needed to have some human contact but i really learned that being alone in nature made makes me truly happy the adventures quentin

encountered along his journey around to the coast of britain will now be compiled in a book and clinton is already ready for his next photography journey perhaps this time around to the coast of violent. fantastic stuff all over to india now and when it comes to popular culture from that nation of 1300000000 people the tone is dominated visually at least by the formulaic melodramas of bollywood but in recent years streaming services like netflix and amazon prime have made inroads with gritty real life dramas that are changing the country's perception of itself. kelly klein tells the true story of a brutal rape case i love as i knows i'm not a hero. and of the women who solved it one of them don't have the details yet but i know this something. it's

t.v. like india has never seen before. i just do it. this time is not just terrorists. it's insanity. any crime in november the delhi crime became the 1st indian series to win best drama at the international emmy awards. this project was led by women it was financed and put together and released by women this crime was so by women this is the courage of those women and all women who not only must endure the violence so many men inflict on them but are then tasked with the problem. and i believe the next time. the nasty side of indian fall attacks is the focus of the new amazon series tons of which is billed as an indian version of house of cards. for. political corruption and nepotism are nothing new to india showing them like this

in a t.v. series it definitely is going to take you to. miss me. since i was a boy is up to your shoulders. had been hammered into my skull. the yawning gap between india's rich and poor is the focus of the white tigers on netflix i had a patient of the booker prize winning novel by our robyn a diva. i had to buy i drove the car. was the one. thing. if you can. find what you mean. this is an anti slumdog millionaire where virtue is punished and the only way for a poor boy to make it in india is through corruption and violence want to break free. streaming giants are giving indians

a new view of themselves and it's not always a pretty picture. i'm sure somebody was woken up. when they're still through our skins. gripping stuff there and here to tell us more about how these new streaming shows are revelent lucian izing television in india it's got rocks for a welcome once again scott now these are a real departure obviously from something like bollywood both in aesthetic and and content how do these new indian series actually measure up to other international productions like from israel or scandinavia for instance well i think the very best of indian is serious or they can measure up with almost anything in the world really what i find interesting though is that because india has such a long tradition in film and t.v. that's quite different from sort of the western tradition you're seeing some differences in some of some of the shows like netflix i had the 1st big sort of

streaming hit a couple years ago with the sacred games which is sort of a it's a police crime drama which is a thriller it's also sort of a satire of. political corruption and ethical and economic disparities in india and it's kind of a mix. is a bit more melodramatic probably than your typical us show and it's that touches a sort of magic realism which you probably wouldn't have in the u.s. show but it's it's interesting cause it's like a lot of these new history new series out of india the kind of a hybrid between sort of the western way of telling a story and then the indian way ok that's interesting you know why do you think this indian streaming boom is happening now. well i mean it's a quite simple reason money netflix and amazon are just pouring money into the indian market in the attempt to get a hold of the audiences there i mean netflix alone which is only been in india for like 4 years they spent up to a half a $1000000000.00 on an indian content so just throwing money at it in creatives ask

them to make shows for them and they're giving them a huge amount of creative freedom i mean you mentioned bollywood boley wooden sort of mainstream indian television is quite censored it's quite formulaic typically these shows definitely are going completely new directions and because they're getting so much money a lot of independent filmmakers i mean indian independent cinema has a long tradition of sort of breaking taboos and addressing real social issues but they never had the money and they never had the opportunity to reach such a huge audience so you have a direct like. a mate who is a big name in independent cinema some on india she's just directed a netflix series called bella which is a dystopian drama i mean people are comparing it to the handmaid's tale looks at sort of violence against women and against ethnic minorities in india in the past you've never seen a show like this being made at this scale out of india is quite amazing ok so a lot of really hot button topics here obviously how are indian authorities taking

this new new wave of shows is there any dangers of censorship in the offing yeah well we'll see i mean up till now because they've been so new the streamers have had sort of free rein to do what they want but there has been a bit of a backlash from sort of a right wing a court is against some of these shows and just in november the indian government said they wanted to put streamers under the same regulations as as as t.v. channels whether that will mean censorship or even self-censorship that indium creators will try to be care much more careful so they don't offend the government will have to see but it's not welcoming us on ok well for the time being anyway i'm more realistic and perhaps nuance to. india courtesy of netflix and amazon thanks very much for bringing us that story scott ross perot. and now for a look at what else is making headlines on the culture front this week oscar winning british director danny boyle will direct a t.v. series of out the legendary punk rock band the sex pistols a 6 episode limited series simply called pistol will be based on the 2017 memoir of

the band's cofounder and guitarist steve jones boyle will give his treatment to jones a story and the advent of punk as the moment the british society and culture change forever. and as for talk of for mary mccartney the eldest daughter on beatles sir paul mccartney is planning a documentary about the abbey road studios where the beatles and many others recorded legendary albums if these walls could sing will coincide with the studio's 90th anniversary in november and will offer a behind the scenes look at the historic location where mccartney spent much of her early childhood. and german authorities handed over the last of 14 artworks from the gurlitz trove formally identified as nazi looted art. i caught that snake was transferred to christie's auction house on behalf of the heir of its rightful owner and back in 2012 public prosecutors discovered some 1500 artworks

including masterpieces by picasso monet and matisse in the home of cornelius corlett son of hit upon to correlate to was one of those charged with acquiring artworks hitler's planned museum. and with that it is time for me to sign off but do visit our website see in-between time for more from arts and culture and until we meet again stay safe and off because heat.

into the cooler temps of. democracy in the euro our guest this week from germany is going to criticize him and the world who see. you affairs committee in the photo column and why the big gap between the rhetoric about the rights of the of you all this whole ality in parts of the conflict. w. grounds. they know the police will stop the. they know that the road is not a solution. they know their flight could be. going back these are not an option. i'm on and are stuck in the spanish

border area alongside other young people there is leaving for a chance that will probably never come. shattered dreams starts january 18th on t w. why are people forced to hide in trucks. there are many reasons. there are many answers. and there are many stories. make up your own. place.

made for mines. this is the w. news live from the u.s. house of representatives begins debate on impeaching donald trump a 2nd time. after last week's deadly capitol riots democrats and some senior republicans as well say he is a danger to the nation and must be removed the president is denying allegations that he insides of the violence. also on the program the largest mafia trial in

more than 30 years begins in its city with more than 300 defendants set to take the stand police speak to the informant risking his life to put the mobsters behind bars. and germany's health minister says the country won't be able to lift its coronavirus walked out at the start of february the government is backing stricter travel rules in a bid to bring down infection numbers. as welcome to the program us president is on the verge of becoming the 1st leader of the united states to be impeached twice the house of representatives is in session to move forward with a vote to impeach the president several key republicans now say they will back the move will face a single charge of incitement of insurrection over the storming of the capitol

building by his supporters last week he denies that he encouraged the violence. let's go straight to washington well burd chief paul is standing by in his what are you hearing how will this vote go today. well it is expected sometimes in the also noon in a couple of follows that the house will officially vote to impeach donald trump for the 2nd time because the democrats still have enough votes to do that but unlike his previous impeachment this time they are all republicans who are also will vote in favor of this impeachment as for now we know about 5 republicans who have openly stated their stance to impeach president trump for his action inciting the storming of the capital last wednesday well if the vote goes that way what are the next steps then. yeah well this is assumption that

the president will be impeached the articles will be sent to the senate to start the impeachment trial but the expectation is that this trial would only take place after joe biden is in office and that rises some concerns because biden really wants to get moving on his political agenda he wants to put out a new cold relief package and after all he has to confirm his cabinet and if the trial begins once he is an office all that will be put on hold. that's also talk about security we are seeing pictures today of the world looks like hundreds of members of the national guard inside the competition patrolling and also resting there on the floor tell us about those. yeah

it's here in washington it's really feels like living in a fortress i mean there are 15000 feds there is police everywhere police from the neighboring states the city's city really is preparing for the worse and you can feel that pelosi of the speaker of the house also has installed metal detectors at the house chamber something actually which many republicans didn't once so these see washington d.c. is getting ready but what is also concerning and we have to keep that in mind is that all the 50 state capitals and the state houses are being targeted by trump supporters as well and the fear is that the focus being so much on washington that they will be very very vulnerable over the next couple of days. as washington bureau chief in a spalding thank you ines. time now to take

a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today the u.s. has carried out the 1st federal execution of a woman in their lives 7 decades someone was put to death by lethal injection in a prison in india shortly after the supreme court gave the go ahead in 2004 mongomery killed a pregnant woman and stole her baby. russian opposition leader let's say novell news says he plans to return home to moscow this despite us to jail him for allegedly violating his suspended sentence of all he has been recovering in germany after being poisoned with a nerve agent the kremlin denies responsibility. islands from minister martin has apologized to former residents of homes run by the catholic church for unmarried mothers and their babies and the inquiry found that some 9000 children died in these homes that operated for decades until the $990.00 s. martin said ireland must knowledge the scandal. italy's former prime

minister material tipped the government into chaos by pulling his party's ministers out of the cabinet he's unhappy about government plans to spend billions of euros pledged by the european union for covert 19 relief it was droll. leaves the ruling coalition without a majority. the largest mafia trial in more than 3 decades has started in italy the defendants include more than $350.00 suspected members of one of the world's most feared organized crime groups the. accused of senses dating back decades that include murder drug trafficking extortion and money laundering ws my son spoke to a key informant as well as the prosecutor leading italy's battle against the mafia . he has to move quickly the chief prosecutor of cotton to new connector theory has powerful enemies illusion number one mafia hunter is leading the fight

against the notorious calabrian network then the run get on his own normally they learn that. there are men of the in the ring get there within the public administration by attempt to manage it in whole or in part trying to succeed in dominating not only on the economic level but also on the administrative and political level. me 30 were political. theory has been fighting them for more than 30 years and he's been preparing a strong message to send to the calabrian families and the public. over the next 2 years more than $350.00 mafiosi and accomplices will take the stand in the biggest mafia trial in decades here in a specially billed bunker courtroom set up to accommodate them together with hundreds of lawyers and witnesses the family's reach and influence go far beyond. over the years its business model has evolved from fighting bloody wars in the

streets to more sophisticated financial crime. now operates in the shadows for example by importing tons of cocaine from latin america and quietly buying power and influence over europe this in their twisted but strong sense of family are the main reasons why it's so hard to fight the family clans we have been to or tells us now working with prosecutors he was raised to become a powerful. that if you start with guns as a child they make you shoot. if they carry guns and you're a kid and it's all a game to you. the kids have toit guns but your guns are real you're not afraid of being beaten but of disappointing those who are training you. smuggle drugs extorted people and even participated in murders but after the birth of his 2nd child he decided this life was no longer for him and turned against his own

family. when it became known that ambushed me twice within 12 hours the 1st time i managed to escape the 2nd time i was armed and returned fire 3 people they tried to kill me several times and set fire to my wife's shop since then when i've been to or has helped the thought has put hundreds of mafiosi behind bars he welcomes the efforts of prosecutors like but he is not the only one worried and i will fight back. but if i understood that if they knock me down all this great work and discreet team will stop there are thousands and thousands of people who believe in me and therefore i am the last hope. so this also gives me courage and helps we have to carry on what ever it takes if i pulled out today i would feel like a coward. while this trial won't free

calabria from the clutches of the mafia it is a real chance to bring attention to the cause of suffering for millions of people not just here in italy. germany's government signed off on a plan to require travelers from covert 9000 hotspots to get tested before entering the country germany's health minister said the measures were needed to guard against the new more contagious new taishan of the virus that the country's current lockdown will be extended into february infections and at high levels the government is also facing criticism over what many say is a sluggish rollout off the vaccine. after more than 2 months of increasingly tougher restrictions in germany the number of new infections and deaths from the corona virus remains alarmingly high while the vaccination effort is underway some in berlin are disappointed by its progress. back to you i thought i would belong to

the 2nd group i'm over 75 years old and that it would be vaccinated soon and i don't think that's going to work i'm a little disappointed. one should probably start with specific groups i think that's good but now they should decide which professions to focus on how to apply the vaccination criteria and then i think it will work by summer. speaking in parliament on wednesday german health minister young defended the government's vaccination plan the target of criticism in recent weeks. the fact that vaccines are in short supply worldwide is a fact that we cannot change. this is the same for us as it is for almost all other countries in the e.u. and around the world the reason for this shortage at the beginning of the vaccination rollout is a lack of production capacity and not a lack of purchasing contracts. opposition parties weren't convinced from the business friendly f.t.p.

to the left party the vaccine rollout was criticised for being slow and chaotic for the greens germany's federal political system is partly to blame our federal system has wonderful advantages but it also sometimes slows down the process and i think that the roll out was rather a question of internal german matter then of e.u. policy and that's where we should improve and fix it where needed germany has so far administered the job to more than 750000 people but has vaccinated a lower share of the population than several other countries with vaccines from more manufacturers being approved the hope is that enough those will be available for the rollout to soon pick up pace. of germany's government is not the only one in europe facing criticism for the slow rollout of the nation today several e.u. health ministers video conference or brussels correspondent. defended their common

tactics in the fight against the pandemic. well the only true vaccines approved to get out so far by the european medical agency of course garrity is something that ministers point towards but there's also a number of other aspects and one in particular i learned about today from officials is that pfizer for instance insisted that they do not want to be made reliable for any problems that may occur with their vaccine during the negotiations between the commission when they ordered pre ordered vaccines and that is something that caused also major delays is what officials told me today overall not of course many say in hindsight things could have been done differently but with the information the commission had at the time member states are rather happy what they have achieved and that there is enough vaccine for all of europe thank you very much government is our correspondent in brussels and we stay with the subject let's

have a look at some of the other developments in the global cold with 19 demick britain has reported 1564 deaths within 24. highest daily toll since the start of the pandemic british prime minister boris johnson says he wants to start a round the clock vaccination program as soon as there is enough supply for $2047.00 in nations and after a delay china is now allowing it team from the world health organization to travel to the city of begin investigating how dependent make started there and japan has widened the state of emergency it declared for the tokyo area to 7 more regions the spread of covert 19 is casting fresh doubts on the capital's ability to host the olympic games this summer. and that's it from me and the news team for now brant goff well have
