despite the rebels despite the coalition the president's been reelected they're going to use only they want to spoil these elections and we stood firm i mean the fear is there but we're central africa and the country belongs to one it's not the country of a single individual that it's the country of all central african. now you had the vote in the late sixty's despite the coalition of rebel groups staging a field coup we before the rebels have wegg since then to disrupt security just monday they killed 2 united nations peacekeepers in an ambush the violence extends to attacks on civilians and that has led to an exodus of thousands from the central african republic into neighboring countries including. the reporter there is a young reports now from their god to refugee come just across the border from the central african republic. to see arrived here in cameroon on friday after fleeing an attack on her village by central african republic rebels she

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. started on. the rebels came out at night 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 blood we saw

a corpse and the young man was there for probably 2 days we saw bodies after the fighting between rebels and soldiers i saw 3 people dead at around about. we continued fighting in the sea air our new refugee shelters are being constructed here at gado refugee camp these men refugees themselves are helping the u.n. h.c.r. to build new makeshift homes gado was already the biggest camp for ca are refugees in cameroon now it's expecting more people. in the past 3 weeks close to 300 of these tents how many course talked at by un is c o u n edge justice here see by the end of the month the expectation i least 5000 more if it's from the central african republic. resources are quickly drying up as thousands of people continue to cross over to eastern cameroon from the central african republic the majority are children. the camp is being overwhelmed.

whose only if the conflict continues we have seen another side. the government will provide us with another site to settle new arrivals. to the camp where we are at the moment was designated 426000 that were close 227500. so you can see that with the conflict this camp will become extremely saturated it will be good to create other camps to take the pressure off this one. lucy is uncertain where her children might be she can only hope they're safe with her parents for now she's too frightened to return and will try to rebuild from a distance while in cameroon like thousands of her compatriots forced to flee their homes. and now many are glued to television sets across the country people are following

what's happening at the supreme court because the courts said 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 bought former president john muhammad is challenging the election results he believes that no kind of dates got more than the 50 percent needed to win and that it was unconstitutional for the electoral commission to be clear. so what do some think about the court's process well we took our comrades of the streets and the crowd to face their thoughts we experts and the judges to give it. to us to open fire to the issue and also get the country running a small as i said as you would expect to see that the big question is with us and give us information on how credible. the n.b.c.

is this. is all that. and show us that everything. what is wrong and what happened and how come all of these top of. the n.p.t. everyone is fighting for peace but. ok so i think. free and fair critique from the supreme court will bring this. country remember us. and. i think. it is the right disease who says the thing. is. the outcome should be that. went on. the pitch right so that. the report. from.

joined by some of. the university for professional studies whose closely monitoring perceived. time. who is thinking who to call it and what exactly. former president john muhammad. this tree in court had a president of god on the neck a fraud to. be elected and so he's asking for a runoff between him and the current president it's ok. his demands about what. made by the respondents against opposition so far. the president says that there's no merits in the petition and us acts the supreme court to dismiss the action without leave to details they seem to be insane by day in the truck commission full of them to attack me with aspirations of the former president john mamma that they mentioned 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 your credit 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 20 takes to. the face time god knows we need to such an election petition so the we've lent a last fall from the time that to me spend and realize that they can only tell him what the tele to do for the country and also they've been if you change the chief justice it's on the keys in 20 states and she just sits in on the case they judge sits on the case slowly one pays and the chief justice is that one was part of the $22.00 petition. been reduced from the night to 7 so everything is being done to ensure that the able to meet the spot of 42 days and then lose have also been

changed slightly to team on this issue objections. and to lead by lawyers they want everything to cool off smoothly as quickly as possible ok and now what the benefits of such he called for ceding to the electoral all democratic process. obviously there is that. harrington rule of law instead of disagreement cheats or. people are sold to courts. to please they can get justice and. they help seem true violet trusts them we get to know some of the mistakes and then correct or just like in 20. we knew a lot of mistakes and this time around they were corrected but. it happened or

sight ok quickly something what's the possible outcomes from this petition in court . to plausible outcomes. at the. same. bt and a precedent and a difference about $500000.00. and even if there were a regularity 70 come out to the table. that the president was. case would be true but if you are able to establish that indeed there were lots of you were obliged he said it affects the. deposition away. ok i guess only time will tell how things will go. on academic thank you for your time. and out all time well our on the show from all of our starters you can go to our website w dot com slash africa or you can also check out our facebook and twitter features

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 and they've been in decades. yellow hair orange face. the 45th u.s. president like a warning sign. yes sort of but it was also to link it to an every year. driving on a road or this structure an aerial you see these very bright orange signs orange stickers on warning. political cartoonists have

often reduced donald trump to a figure of fun. as . the cuban born illustrator rodrigue is 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 sum up was it joe that's something that wasn't going to win the presidency and i saw morris as a very. fascists. and i sort of work that. that maybe. rodriguez reacts to current events in his illustrations and like many of his fellow cartoonists he could barely keep up with the new 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. and immigrants. these are the things that americans want to be what we resonate in new york author siri hustvedt and paul auster set up the group writers against trump the pressure. of living under the trump administration and day to day their. institution that i think many americans thought. has been a shocking experience and it's affected me personally. the 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. few in hollywood were open in their support for him one of those was actor jon voight who did 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 is 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. 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 balloon is sticking around the giant helium blimp of trump with a diaper and a smartphone is set to outlive charms 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 remember that tom 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 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 pam payne trail supporting the presidential candidates ahead of last year's election the singer took to twitter to say she was honored 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 brooks 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 that. a statement of unity and we've got a clip of him talking to members of the inaugural committee 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 if i might be the only 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 to 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 citing shapeshifting problems well maybe we should read too much into the head injury and it's not just going to be music though no that's right the youth poet laureate amanda goldman will be the youngest poet so ever read at an inauguration 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 as like there will be a prime time special intitled celebrating america wednesday evening with john legend demi lovato bruce springsteen justin timberlake and the food fight as well ok lots of big names plenty of good entertainment and good vibes to usher in this new political era a drink out of it thanks so much thank you. now one instrument you probably won't be hearing a joe biden's inauguration is the fair and early form of synthesizer that many people see as more of a party trick than

a real instrument musician ike is helping to change that. catalina ike is among the world's best serenading players the award winning musician performs regularly as a soloist the world over as here in concert with the brussels philharmonic. she also plays her own electronic music composition. that's where a man 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
