doesn't. work gives me a lot of love. ugh can't sleep. our luggage couldn't sleep. car killing swill. this is news africa on the program today uganda on the eve of the showdown election polls open in just a few hours from now but there are fears off to a violent campaign and this warning from president you were most even. before we did all. of you. and the grief stricken families who've lost loved ones in the cold at 19 pending.

hello i'm christine one but 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 and most registered voters have only ever known. as the president's. main challenger is the popular bobby wine whose real name is rob it's . now the international community has expressed concern over the credibility of the vote scores of people have been killed and opposition candidates supporters 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. i don't see the view 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 lacked that for us the poll we have remained in the city is. really the most important is at election though saying that it was a little tension normal country. in that most people even are not only good in villages they don't know the truth we cannot topple for free and fit and also i think the government should come out and explain the difficult at least getting on the village and this is going to be a little bit out to so many other people not to be divisive doesn't someone that's weak and. is in kampala with more on the story good to see you jane is 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 there are people who are afraid to fight in south minute recent to sink like that and drag whole s.c.r. around them because this is one of the most. bloody campaigns that it's the most violent companies of part in november you might recall we lost almost 54 people more than 50 people. gentle filings so you my genius that's happened during companies and i want to hop in and they should so this is their move that's creating artistic i'm sure with very many people saying that in case there are riots in case there was a jewish anything can go by that they are all reasons not to sink j.s. to morrow might bring anything. 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 ago pollution people have been sitting people not to come out on the

board i had an image of you with the security forces ready to defend you there are 4 don't feel in a siege come out and vote nobody would intimidate you did you did you go over there with a you if it would address rules out which will get you. a stern warning from president was 70 s. 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 the fight that they see it coming out to say that this experience and will defend your granite is to go on for this if they're this flute it means the as a radio mags the fox that's there is yet no one create what many are going and how many people are into reaching this is that tomorrow's election is very likely not be that the usual ations of 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 the president has put some resource or clearing house to people ops were intending to demonstrate intending to protest all right he said he's telling them created as they were not to give them a chance it's clear that the main challenge of bobby why it is a threats to all is seen as a threats to the president who am a 70 just judging by how the authorities have have suppressed his campaign and even before the pandemic really apply but does he have a chance to notice. the white house it's out some serious crazy day jury must sit and watch the grammys were decided tomorrow is i'd anticipated you know it's really joe who is going to bring the senate action movie one years has a chance because he's been calling out of people to give us access to him to do to voice tomorrow and if they're going to vote late he has been asking them to let they've been promising here then he has a chance of us also on the other side very important to note that presidential orders that it has also been busy campaigning and he supports hold these yeahs

going to be taken for granted so kind of it's obvious as i should say. it typically in uganda i think that the lection will be free and fair. ah being free and fair yet there are some ugandans are saying that election will be free and set by the opposition for a very long time by the hour not just in this election they made it clear that they do not doubt confidence in the uganda zelig so a commission and this is the body that is organizing the election tomorrow but regardless of them saying that they do not talk on to us and election 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 and fair also goes to where does someone for when it comes to the political divide those supporting the government will tell you clearly that this is the election to go for and those against the government will tell you that it is unlikely that the election will be free and fair. or at that status become a reporting income palla for us thank you cheney it's. just

about one year into the current vice 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 corresponded 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 maria key test a positive for kofi 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 that time the number of those infected in kenya stood a just and the temples and and even though the figure paled in comparison to global

numbers she wrote the 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 wheaties 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 corps with 19 so that to me. in fact i was more afraid that my parents were exactly a week after he was admitted she was father died from covert related complications . long. so 1st of all you talked about this.

so what was the most heartbreaking is that my father died of a lot of he didn't see human faces the entire time he was in hospital everyone was it completely. it's really heartbreaking and lonely when today just as sure as family was dealt a blow kenya's capital nairobi. despite strict coded regulations things like these were commonplace that july the number of those infected was to over 16000 people. tatiana qur'an jan her partner we were 2 of those newly infested tatiana took to social media to share the news of 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 know you don't really hear people to you didn't hear people talking about it so already from the beginning i said oh 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 yeah 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 to be. 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 a loved one to cover it in kenya and that number is steadily increasing.

a chance that will probably never come. shattered dreams starts january 18th on t.w. stories that people are all done for you on facebook and twitter uptodate and in touch. 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 tom duff then major streaming services are changing the television landscape in india with the. 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 quintin lake set out from london to walk the entire coastline of england scotland and wales it did 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 for tucker for quinson like came past here to for his long term project titled the perimeter he walked right around the coast of britain taking photos along the way. roads 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 or time so power for the camera and 5 days of food 5 days of fuel and every 5th day i was trying to put so much charter for you up. in a pool 2015 quinten 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 years the award winning landscape in architecture photography i 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 quinten like 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 a look at this beautiful victorian preachin in the park and you have cut interest and the beautiful mountain city in england the favorite beer on the lizard in the south coast. and scot and 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 not all peninsula. to support his geometric abstract photography point and decided to use a square format principles photographs can be bought on his website the project has

also changed questions 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 know their own individual patch and how they see it and overall i see as a much wider country after a total of around 11000 kilometers and after having walked for $454.00 days winton lake finally got back to the starting point in london st paul's cathedral into london itself to meet my family and my friends we 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 quinten encountered along his journey around to the coast of britain will now be compiled in a book and quentin is already ready for his next photography journey perhaps this

time around 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 adam amazon prime have made inroads with gritty real life dramas that are changing the country's perception of itself. new. delhi crime tells the true story of a brutal rape case. and of the women who solved that one up and don't have the details yet but i know there's something right. it's t.v. like india has never seen before. i just want. this

crime is not just here's. this insanity. 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 that so many men inflict on them but are then tasked with problem no i don't make the mistake on. the nasty side of indian toltecs is the focus of the new amazon series tom dawkins which is billed as an indian version of house of cards. for the special. political corruption and nepotism are nothing new to india showing them like this in a t.v. series it definitely is easier to. use

. since i was a boy if you believe your shoulders. being hammered into my skull. the yawning gap between india's rich and poor is the focus of the white tigers on netflix had a patient of the booker prize winning novel by our i've been. i. i drove the car. was the one. thing. 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 what do break free. streaming giants are giving indians a new view of themselves and it's not always a pretty picture. i'm sure from our wars will pick up.

whatever is going 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 from israel or scandinavia for instance well i think the very best of indian is serious 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 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 trailer it's also sort of

a satire of. political corruption and ethical and economic disparities in india and it's kind of a mix it's. a bit more melodramatic probably than your typical us show and is that touches a sort of magic realism which you probably wouldn't have all of us show but it's interesting because it's like a lot of these 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 through 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 bollywood and 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. 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 was a big name in independent cinema 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'd never see 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 t.v. channels whether that will mean censorship or even self-censorship in the creators will try to be care much more careful so they don't offend the government will have to see but it's not too welcoming a sign 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 roxboro. 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 about 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 will give his treatment of jones
