it works. but in europe there's a sharp morning whenever accept some money from the new superpower will become dependent on it to commit the fleet the chinese state has a lot of money at its disposal the globe and that's how it's expanding and asserting its status and position in the world the place china's gateway to europe . starts feb 19th on d w. this is the 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 predict all of the un's new ambitious goal to end child labor in 4 years time. and the siege of a hotel in the somali capital mogadishu ended after an hour strong gun fassel does

this latest attack by al shabaab have anything to do with the presidential election she told a week from today. hello i'm christine wonder 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 that's in 4 years' time but that target has received blowback for being too ambitious and out of such a group of professors and researchers with expertise on the subject say removing children from burke is off no help if it will drive them deeper into poverty and i'll be having a conversation with an expert from the international labor organization offered

this report from cameroon where many children can be seen working on gold mines is a always brings us 1st report from an eastern camera. so to call it used to come together as younger brother he was. a week the boys of never been to school. damage on the team i come from 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 pearls of have a legal obligation to do could the children to make matters worse remote communities like this one often don't even have a state run school. the combination of the stream poverty lack of educational

facilities i mean many children simply end up mining gold this region is blessed with mineral but the people here live in misery get curator and all was growing up without education. these schools were settled by a local engineer this single classroom serves a community of so 500 children just where hundreds are trying to take. it's hard to stop those who do from skipping class according to their teacher their children are so poor they're disproved to go back to the minds. of 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 juge and i and who today turns to dismantle and his team. philip is a member of the local and you that helps get into school. in

paris similar children to school. education is vital because. 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. in the going come route there are no statistics on honey we're going to quantify this immobile minds but for duke it's all total so you can tell you what needs to get you to 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 so i can't disobey my mother. like more the deployed to speak to

a book about the boy his brother is too good to go to school for not looking this mine site we need to child's education. i am joined by amanda in the here and yet as she is from the international labor organization and joins us from the cameron kept sylvia 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 and 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 either school or 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 best and say it's 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 goal indicates but have to be taken quite fast and most of them in the prohibition of that was forms of child labor and for instance forced labor and more than forms of slavery that can be done that has to be done before 2025 right amanda assam all

during the bat you know this this this this the the approach bed you all are taking from organizations like the ilo the un that it's somewhat and realistic that the that the focus shouldn't be about just removing children from they have 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 will be 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 you need to think about education you 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 here goes way beyond child labor is something that is trades on its own i mean that a lot of that aggravates. ok that is amanda make yacking at us from the international labor organization thank you so much metaphor helping us understand the sceptics in a row 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 the somali army another general and about $100.00 civilians were evacuated government troops for the militants throughout the night. we have the 4 militants one who detonated a car and 3 others who broke into the hotel and 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 to have us always so what more do we know about what happened on this attack 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 before 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 v.i.p.'s 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 for places where it knows it can get these high profile targets like this general who was killed in this in this. timing now because we do know that a week from today somalia is 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. the one to still 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 and 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. no i mean they were able to carry out this attack like they've done many times in 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 the 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 $700.00 troops and there's been criticism saying somalia still needs support from wherever the somali government looks like a struggle it does need all the outside help it can get to be able to fight off

this thread. tell me a logical there with the issue on the developments in somalia with that siege on the hotel has ended thanks tony. and that is that for now be sure to check out our 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 saw the africa took its 1st delivery of 1000000 doses of quote if i suspect scenes today the shots will be given to the country's health workers focused we wish them and on a few good health stay safe we'll see if it's time to.

fire. when you hear me you know here's we're going to need you and how the last 2 years german chancellor i want to bring you an angle a mouthful and you've never caught our surprise. so what possible who is mad really. want. to talk to people along the way maurice and critics alike joining us from apple sauce. i i. i. i. i. i. i thought is a clip from judas in the black messiah about a man who betrayed 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 pin is the ship's argues the case that there's no difference between classical and pop music gets into twined. the novel payback by gap in the deep harrowing me and captured lakes 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 sundance 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 important 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 coronavirus and to provide some pretty compelling evidence that the official death toll in china from coal bed 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 found it also very very emotional and very moving but it definitely isn't a comfort watch ok another film created quite a stir is judas in the bottom so we showed a clip top of the show tell us more about this film. 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 you know who you might know from the film get out here he gives a sort of astounding early 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 oh wow and the actress robin wright great actress directing her 1st movie starring it is 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 films 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 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 it's 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 auster voters will take note . very briefly ollie's film some very interesting so the festival is virtual this year does it 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 you're of fortunately 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 is not only a disturbing read but when it was originally published in the 1950s it wasn't successful in germany is novels about the 2nd world war one thing exactly popular at that time the book paints on unflinching picture of the savagery of just over a wanna of the war in a bunker as bombs rain down around. this climbing wall behind me is actually part of a world war 2 bunker where 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 delayed age 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 lines 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 . of 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 illusion. about the glories of battle payback were brought up to pieces.

the russian german pinnace to is renowned for interpretations of and ethics at sea 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. and this melody. was originally compulsory. 29 and from what we did with this melody. like with.

this is classical music and i do play 'd. i do play classical music but i play also along take and contemporary music and also some bark on renaissance pieces. different melodies are going from different centuries from different countries and how they meet holiday inspired if an artist to do something new but in the end all of this. doesn't really matter because what music is about is there motion you will never forget the small one that made you cry.
