so you want to know what makes the germans just fear the german love on banning them from way from. i'm looking out toward my own car and everyone was leader holding everything. up getting are you ready to meet the germans and join me right just do it on d w. this is news africa on the program today ending child labor millions of children are being forced into working often at the expense of going to school so why are some experts pretty cool off the un's new ambitious goal to end child labor in 4 years time. and the siege of a hotel in the somalia capital mogadishu ended after an i was wrong the gun battle does this latest attack by al-shabaab have anything to do with the presidential

election should build a week from today. hello i'm christine one to it's good to have your company the u.n. says the covert 19 pandemic is putting more children at risk of under-age work and 3 decades of progress made at ending the practice of child labor now the un has goal to end child labor by 2025 bets in 4 years' time but that target has received blowback for being too ambitious and out of such a group of professors and researches with expertise on the subject say removing children from book is off no help if it will drive them deeper into poverty i'll be having a conversation with an expert from the international labor organization offered this report from cameroon way many children can be seen working on gold mines. and always brings us 1st report from in eastern cameroon.

most eyes diggin in search of gold and used. together with his younger brother he walks 7 days a week. the boys are never been to school and a new hall they are. standing on the team i come for money i work at the mine and maybe i can enroll at school. i also want to buy clothes and shoes. my mother works at the mine with us. in cameroon schoolin is amanda durie so pairs of have a legal obligation to do could that you did to make matters worse remote communities like this one often don't even have a state run school. the combination of the stream poverty and lack of educational facilities mean many children simply end up mining gold this region is blessed with

minerals but the people here live in misery that children are always growing up without education. this school was settled by a local engineer this single classroom serves a community of so 500 children just where hundreds are attracted to. it's hard to stop those who do from skipping class according to their teacher their children are so poor they're disparate to go back to their minds. the children who do come to school often want to run away but my efforts prevent them from doing so if i weren't strict with them they would have disappeared from the classroom. these children to do times to do smile and his team. is a member of the local and you that helps get into school. this is families coming to mislike. parents center children to school and it

is vital to go before the children who work in the mines are in great danger because they are at risk of falling down the mine works and the children can die if they fall into a shaft like that would be a huge loss of the community needs to be aware that the school is the best place for these children as a child the boys in the going come route there are no statistics on honey we're going to this immobile mind but for deep it's all total so you can tell you what needs to get you in the minds. this job is very difficult at the end of the day i'm very tired but because it's my mother who asks me to come and work here i have to do it i can't disobey my mother. like more the deployed to speak to us about the boy his boy is too good to go to school for not looking this mine site we need to child's education. i am joined by amanda me here

and yet as she is from the international labor organization and joins us from the camera in a cafeteria one day welcome to the program amanda just firstly we've just seen 2 young boys they want to go to school but they can't just give us a sense of how many more children in cameroon are in that very position. actually the picture income is quite. the statistics to 2007 and most cases are you children are not actually working they're going to school while being involved in child labor so those those kids. are actually to some extent the exception the problem is that when you do conjugate both things eventually you have to choose the school for child labor in this case scenario is that school is not an option right amanda we're talking about ending child labor this ambitious target that's been set by the united nations to end child labor by

2025 in does that sound realistic scene. of rest recent evaluations have shown that we will it will be difficult because. but also i find that beyond whether it ends in 20251 thing that is absolutely fundamental to tackle this issue is to take time. so some measures may be taken maybe not immediately like the $17.00 of the sustainable development goals indicates but have to be taken quite fast and most of them in mission of that was forms of child labor and for instance forced labor and what are forms of slavery that can be done that has to be done before 2025 right amanda some all during the bat you know this this this this thing the approach bed you all are taking from

organizations like the i know the un that it's somewhat and realistic that that that the focus shouldn't be about just removing children from david but rather improving that the conditions within which they have to work just what is your position on that. the thing is when one speaks about child labor we're not talking about children that economically occupied we're talking about things we're talking about a situation that implies danger and almost to the child so it's not because the child is occupied that the ilo with the thinking of they've obviously maybe sometimes we because we have slogans it does not reflect accurately what the measures are. so when you talk about child labor 1st of all you need to think about poverty to think about education need to be to think about skills about long life learning about the parents access to productive work to a type of word that was chosen and that that's when we talk about the british in

a voice labor you need to speak about social protection you also need to tackle gender stereotypes and the effect that has on girls boys and teenagers in the country so he goes way beyond child labor is something that is great on its own i mean that a lot of that aggravates. ok that is amanda. at us from the international labor organization thank you so much amanda for helping us understand the sceptics in a whole more. security forces in somalia have ended a deadly terrorist siege in the capital mogadishu gunmen from the. group stormed the popular hotel afrique. police say at least 9 people were killed in the attack one of them was a retired general from me and the general and about 100 civilians were evacuated

government troops for the militants throughout the night. we have. a car bomb and 3 others who broke into the hotel fought their way here. but we killed them. ok and at the table with me told me. to pull who's covered security on the continent quite extensively tony good to have you as always so what more do we know about what happened. on sunday the gunmen carried out typical kind of attack where they go for a place high profile place like a hotel in this case afaik hotel using a car bomb using rocket propelled grenades and guns and and stormed the building pretty much where they tried to take over the building for a bit more security forces came in before 4 hours what do we know about who the target of this attack was well like many of the hotels that have been attacked that

al-shabaab has attacked in mogadishu these are places that are frequented by the ips by politicians and we know that al-shabaab is is trying to bring down the government so these are the kinds of targets it will go places where it knows it can get these high profile targets like this general who was killed in this in the . timing now because we do know that a week from today somalia's going to be holding a presidential election does this have anything to do with that not specifically but on the broader scale yes you know. that would want to instill fear among people would want to bring down the system so it would make sense that they would try to attack like this but monday's elections coming up. tend to be voted by the m.p.'s the people vote the m.p.'s in the m.p.'s vote the president so it's going to be difficult to destabilise that process where the m.p.'s are in a secure location able to vote a president say look like that will go ahead ok tell me. right they're not really

going away are they. no i mean they were able to carry out this attack like they've done many times with the same kind of style they even made the announcement on that on one of their radio stations and one of their websites still engaging propaganda carrying out attacks in fact over the past year we've seen from the africa center of strategic studies that al-shabaab attacks have gone up 30 percent over the past year even though the number of deaths have declined but this government needs all the help it can get at this time to bring down this threat. because al-shabaab doesn't look like it's going anywhere remains and right across many parts of the country we've seen for example the us withdrawing its 700 troops and there's been criticism saying somalia still needs support from wherever one of the somali government looks like it will struggle it does need all the outside help it can get to be able to fight off this threat that's tell me a lot people there with the issue on the developments in somalia with that siege on

the hotel has ended thanks tony. and that is it for now be sure to check out of the stories on dot com forward slash africa we're also on facebook and on twitter you can find both tony and i. finally south africa took its 1st delivery of 1000000 doses of corn if i suspect scenes today the shots will be given to the country's health workers 1st we wish them and all a few good house stay safe is the extent.

where i come from we had to fight for a free press i was born and raised in a military dictatorship with just one t.v. shadow and a few newspapers on official information as a journalist i have worked on this principle many cat interest and their problems are always the same fortune the social inequality a lack of the freedom of the press. work on the floor to stay silent when it comes

to the sounds of the humans and see them with the folds who have inside their. trust in us. is. work. that is a clip from judas in the black messiah about a man who portrayed the black panther movement in the 19 sixty's more about that and other films premiering at the sundance film festival in a minute also coming up today. a world class pinnace all the shows argues

the case that there's no difference between classical and pop music it's all intertwined. the novel payback by gap in the harrowing the encapsulates one hour in a world war 2 under fire. now normally at this time of the year park city utah is teaming with the great and the good of the film industry for the annual sundance film festival well as you can imagine that is not the case this time as for obvious reasons the festival is happening but mostly online sunday is the biggest film festival in america for independent movies and also there's a strong emphasis on documentaries to. film expert scott ross has seen a number of import movies shown so far and joins me now from. scott let's start

with the movie the open the festival in the same breath a topical choice to start the festival and i guess not an easy watch. no. definitely not i mean this is a documentary and it's about last year it's essential about the coronavirus pandemic the director. is chinese but she lives in america and she takes a look at the i guess government and media mismanagement of the coronavirus pandemic both in washington and and in china she looks for example at chinese state propaganda and how it initially downplayed the seriousness of the corona virus and she provided some pretty compelling evidence that the official death toll in china from kobe is much higher maybe 10 times as high as the official numbers but what i think is very interesting about this film is a wang also looks at america and looks at very sort of scary parallels that that

how in america fake news spread that led to and locked down demonstrations that really worsened the facts of the coronavirus pandemic in america so this obviously is a credibly topical documentary and i thought it also very very emotional and very moving but it definitely isn't a comfort watch ok not a film created quite a stir is judas in the butler saw we showed a clip top of the show so there's more about this form. yeah this is probably the biggest film showing in sundance this year judas and the black messiah it looks at a story from 50 years ago about the f.b.i. infiltration of the black power of the black panther party and also the eventual murder by the f.b.i. of black panther party leader fred hampton and fred hampton is played by daniel who

you might know from the film get out i'm here he gives us sort of astounding really career high performance but i want to console him as amazing about this movie is as i said it's a story from 50 years ago but it could be ripped from the headlines from from from last year i mean it really touches on the hot button topics of american political life right now particularly the black lives matter movement and the debate over the origins of systemic racism this film is premiering in sundance but it's already a front runner for the oscars particularly for daniel and his amazing performance a while and the actress robin wright great actress directing her 1st movie starring it as well it looks a bit like a tour de force she seems to be in every frame. yet you know pretty much this is quite amazing the film is called land and as you say it's robin wright's directorial debut the the story she plays the lead and it's a woman who is suffering from trauma who decides to go off the grid and tries to

live basically an isolated life in the wilderness of wyoming and what's interesting about this movie is it's a very unique take on this type of story this isn't i guess the typical male version of the story which is the isolated individual against the wilderness and this is more about our common humanity and this character rob writes character survives because she's helped by others because really of the kindness of strangers and is really a life affirming film robin wright gives an amazing directorial debut. i hear but also as an actress i mean she is literally in every frame of this movie and i think it's a career high performance it's astounding i think again oscar voters will will take note. very briefly all these films very interesting so the festival is virtually shit doesn't mean we could all watch these films. yes sadly not if you're in america yes in america in the states you can watch these films online you can buy

tickets online and stream them if you're outside the united states europe unfortunately out of luck you don't have to wait until they either come on to a streaming service near you or eventually hopefully theaters will reopen and some of these great movies will be seen as they should be seen in the cinema score as always a mine of information thanks very much for being with us today. the book paid back by gap bleeding is not only a disturbing read but when it was originally published in the 1950s it wasn't successful in germany as novels about the 2nd world war one to exactly popular at that time the book paints an unflinching picture of the savagery of just over a wanna of the war in a bunker as bombs rained down around. this climbing wall behind me is actually part of a world war 2 bunker when the allied forces were dropping bombs on nazi germany as many as 15000 berliners took refuge here fortunately for most of us today it's

impossible to imagine what the air raids were like for most civilians who didn't have a bunker to run to. pay back by get out the lady is a relentless and excruciating account of a world war 2 air raid on an unnamed german city it's a shock to the system from the very 1st page when the 1st bomb fell the blast hurled the dead children against the wall they had suffocated in a cellar the day before had been laid in the graveyard because their fathers were fighting at the front and their mothers were still missing only one was found but she was crushed under the rubble that was what payback looked like. and then just a few hours later. 100000 people felt their hearts pounding the city had been burning for 3 days since which time the sirens regularly began to wail too late it was as though they were being set off like that deliberately on the grounds that

people needed time to live in between being bombed to pieces that was the beginning . the 70 minutes of warfare described in this novel tear through civilians and soldiers good guys bad guys germans americans russians all tied together by their catastrophic absurd fate author get laid experienced world war 2 both as a soldier in combat and as a civilian under airstrike he published payback in 1956 but back then most german readers just wanted to forget the war the book wasn't published again for more than 40 years today it's an important tale for anyone who hasn't experienced war and if you have any illusions. about the glories of battle payback were brought up to pieces. the russian german pinnace to august ships is renowned for interpretations of and

every team and it was the music of ivan god is he that fostered her interest in the connection between different styles of music meanwhile she seemed on our own classical version of the hardcore techno music of scooter which created quite an uproar indeed the more she investigates the more she feels the association between different genres we met up with her recently to find mole. this melody. was originally convulse and 1929 and from what we did with this melody. like with.

stages from someone is basically 2 full song variations that you can say this assist a person folk music i realized how wrong we use the word classical music. a prick office piano sonata which. this is not classical music this is modern music art if we talk about here. this is romantic music this is not classical music and. this. this is classical music and i just play 'd ringback.

i i do play classical music but i play also a long take and or some time for music and also sambar congress wants pieces. different melodies are going from different centuries from different countries and how they meet tony inspired different artists to do something new but in the end all of this. doesn't really matter because what music is about is the motion you will never forget the small one that made you cry.
