walked in the forest with her husband for 3 days before reaching the border. but she doesn't know what's happened to her 2 children she believes they managed to escape with her parents. my is i started on the. the rebels came out at night they came with weapons and that's the reason why we fled once they were shooting everywhere and people started running away many people died and they burned houses. physical exhaustion and psychological trauma are taking a toll on these new arrivals the united nations says about $60000.00 ca are refugees have fled to neighboring countries since the most recent conflict began after december's election more than 5000 of them are in cameroon like abbott who fled fighting with his wife and 3 children want to use the mob we saw fighting in the city center of boy we saw

what's happening at the supreme court because the court started here we need it to sion about the december presidential elections precedents on there was declared were not by the electoral commission and his continuing his 2nd and final time in office box former president john muhammad is challenging the election results he believes no candidates got more than the 50 percent needed to win and that it was unconstitutional for the electoral commission to the. so 'd what do some think about the court process well we took our comrades to the streets in a crowd to fish their thoughts the experts and the judges to give it. to us to have been finally to the issues and also get the country running a small us as we will expect to see that's the big question both you know rights with us and give us information how credible. the m.d.c.

is vision. and show us that everything. what is wrong and what happened and how come all these topics. why the n.p.t. everyone is fighting for peace but. ok so i think. 3 unfavorite heat from the supreme court will bring this case and then. we move on. to its. i think. it is their right to seize the same. thing. rather than. the outcome should be that. went on. to be put right so that. the reports.

from. joined by some of. the university for professional studies closely monitoring to see the. time. who was thinking who to call it and what exactly. former president john muhammad. supreme court had the president of the fraud to force. elected and. he's asking for a runoff between him and the current president it's ok. his demands about what are some of the humans made by the respondents against up attention so far. the president says that there's no merits in their petition and that's x. the supreme court to dismiss the action lead to details they seem to be said by day in the truck commission will of them to be read as a shelf to former president john muhammad that they lesson should go into iraq. ok

whether they are in agreement or not called process has begun but here's what i want to understand in 2012 it took about 8 months for you braddock to be reached in a similar case but this time a ruling is expected in 42 days what's changed and how realistic is the timeline. what changes is because in that time in 22 was the face time god knows when to such an election p.t. she's so deep we've lent him last fall from time that to me spend and realize that economically and politically to good for the country and also they've been if you change is just the chief justice it's on the case in 20 states and it's you just sitting on the case they judges who sit on the case not only one case and the chief justice is that one who was part of the 22 petition that have been reduced from the night to 7 so everything is being done to ensure that the able to meet that spot of

42 days and a ruse of also being changed slightly. on this issue objections and and to lead by lawyers they want everything to pool smoothly and as quickly as possible ok and what the benefits of such he called for seating to the electoral all democratic process. obviously there is that. the harrington rule of law instead of disagreement cheats or all or course involved is people who were sold to courts. to please the car gets justice and also a hell scene crew violate the trust system we get in the states and then corrected just like in 20 to 80 we knew a lot of mistakes and this time around they were corrected but. it happened on the

site ok quickly sunny what the possible outcomes from this petition in court. to possible outcomes. that the. 10 digits raise b.t.u. and a precedent and a difference about $500000.00. and even if there were a regularity senate come to the table the much of the president was. but if you are able to establish that indeed there were lots of fevered lies he said it affects the. way. ok i guess only time will tell how things will go. on academic thank you for your time. and also a time when i last on the show for more last stories even goes well websites d.w. dot com slash africa or you can also check out our facebook and twitter talking

explore every day in life. what europeans fear and what they hope for. owning your. own d w. the united states is getting ready for a change in power and a change in culture gearing up for president elect joe biden's star studded inauguration with support from celebrities donald trump could only dream up that's coming up on arts and culture and 2 2 2. somewhere over the rainbow a musician bringing new respect to this wacky instrument the fair and.

well the clock is now ticking down the last hours of the donald trump presidency but the divisions and fears that trump stoked have left an indelible mark on the united states and its artists and his 4 years at the white house trump did away with norms and conventions and so did american artists becoming more vocal and political the men been in decades. younger hair orange face pout the 45th u.s. president like a warning sign. that yes sort of organs but it was also to link it. never you're. driving on a road or this struction aerial you see these very bright orange signs orange stickers on warning. political cartoonists have

often reduced donald trump to a figure of fun. even born it was trader ito rodriguez never used humor in his work about him right from the start he didn't think there was anything to laugh about. as he comes off or at the time you come off as it joe that's something i mean that wasn't going to win the presidency and i saw morris as a very. and i sort of work that. that maybe. i could. read reagan's reacts to current events in his illustrations and like many of his fellow cartoonists he could barely keep up with the news cycle made

headlines nearly every day especially with statements that immediately polarized people and forced many to take a clear stance against him many celebrities joined ordinary citizens in demonstrations. being inclusive being diverse country brought on immigrants. fairness these other things that americans want to be what we resonate in new york author siri hustvedt and paul auster set up the group writers against the pressure of living under the trump administration and watching day to day their erosion of the institution that i think many americans thought were. has been a shocking experience and it's affected me personally. public spats with celebrities became legendary he called 3 time oscar winner meryl streep one of hollywood's most overrated actresses and he feuded with lady gaga and bruce springsteen mostly via

twitter his preferred meeting few in hollywood were open in their support for him one of those was actor jon voight who trump awarded the medal of arts in 2019. great nations produce great thinkers artists musicians and scholars who make our world a more beautiful and lightened in joyful place but trump wasn't willing to invest in that more beautiful world in the middle of arts a sponsored by the national endowment of the arts because funding he reduced the trumpet ministration saw a little use in public arts funding. for his part it'll rodriguez hopes he'll never again have to create a magazine cover with donald trump. well trump may be leaving the white house but the infamous baby trump protest but we're sticking around the giant helium blimp of trump with a diaper and a smartphone is set to outlive trump's presidency as a display in the museum of london

a crowd funded balloon 1st appeared at protests against the president's visit to the british capital in $28.00 team before going on to tour several other countries . and of course the new u.s. president joe biden is said to be inaugurated on wednesday the event is going to be very different from what we saw 4 years ago with trump my colleague adrian kennedy is here for more what can we expect yes well as you said most people probably remember that time had some trouble getting performance together for his inauguration show it seems this time around there is no shortage of people lining up to take parts at wednesday morning swearing in ceremony we will get lady ga cause interpretation of the u.s. national am from the star spangled banner as well as a performance from jennifer lopez now lady gaga of course was regularly seen

on the biden campaign trail supporting the presidential candidates ahead of last year's election the singer took to twitter to say she was on the to be performing at the event and was also campaigning for biden as yet we don't know what she will be singing can't wait to see now the theme of course is unity do you have to be do the artists have to be members of the democratic party to perform of course there is a country singing a golf brokes it is a republican and he will be performing he has stressed though that he is performing for the president for the presidency it's not a political statement but rather a statement of unity where we've got a clip of him talking to members of the inaugural committee you let's hear what he had to say. so i would say unity i would say we're more divided than ever so that bridge that brings us together. i don't know it's i might be you know republican at

this place but it's reaching across loving one another because that's what's going to get us through probably the most divided times that we have i want the divided times to be behind us i want to be able to differ in opinion and hug each other at the same foot ok and interestingly of course books performed at one of the bomber inaugurations but he skipped trump's swearing in sightseeing shapeshifting problems oh well maybe we should read too much and so they had a dream it's not just going to be music though no that's right the youth poet laureate amanda coleman will be the youngest poet so ever read at and you know gratian she will be reciting own inaugural poem the hill be climb which she had apparently half finished when the u.s. capitol was stormed on january the 6th and she completed it on the same night in

a search of creativity interesting backgrounds like president biden coleman overcame a speech impediment before becoming a confident public speaker wow now of course the public ceremony has also been scaled back because of the coronavirus pandemic and security concerns there is still a t.v. and online inauguration show though as well that's why there will be a prime time special intitled celebrating america i would a wednesday evening with john legend demi lovato bruce springsteen justin timberlake and the food fight us well ok lots of big names plenty of good entertainment and good vibes to usher in this new political era aging kennedy thanks so much thank you. now one instrument you probably won't be hearing a joe biden's inauguration is the pharaoh it's an early form of synthesizer that many people see as more of a party trick than

a real instrument but musician ike is helping to change that. catalina ike is among the world's best seller and players the award winning musician performs regularly as a soloist the world over as here in concert with the brussels for harmonic. she also plays her own electronic music composition. the pheromone creates an electromagnetic field that can be influenced by the human body. change the sound. upright antenna determines the pitch

when i move towards the antenna the pitch rises. and this little 1010 on the other side controls the volume so if i move further away the sound gets louder. russian physicist leon theremin 1st presented the instrument in 1920 some of the musicians and bands who have experimented with it since are the beach boys lights up when tom waits and john mission asia. the movie going public is familiar with the sound of this 4 runner at the sympathizer from a horror and site. action films. get still used occasionally on soundtracks even now. you know if this tradition came about because when the theremin was 1st developed musicians played with lots of abroad even on the violin and other

instruments. among us if you apply that to get fareham and it sounds a bit spooky. how lina ike got her very 1st there a minute each 7 she learned to play from among others the inventor's own grand niece. by age 16 she developed a new technique that's now in general use worldwide it allows the musician to play with far greater precision a challenge because the instrument reacts to this latest movement. ever if i so much as breathes. that changes the sound. so typically very precise no i have to stay completely still a lot of things but if i play notes more freely in an experimental performance for

instance i can move my entire body up and. down and was one of the 1st electronic instruments now more than 100 years after its invention it still sounds futuristic. well that's almost it for this edition of arts and culture but before we go one of the few figures in the united states who most americans can agree are dolly parton the legendary singer songwriter and funder of code 19 research is turning 75 i'll leave you now with her 974 classic jolene. early 0 late. thirty's the
