my god i don't think i can i get. presidents have been queuing at cash machines and rushing to stock up on essential as myanmar is catapulted into an uncertain future . earlier we asked un special rapporteur on myanmar tom andrews how he believes the international community should respond to the coup and well number one strong strong voices of condemnation unequivocal statements rejecting what has gone on and we've seen that now across the world very strong statements coming in as you noted there at the security council is going to be meeting and merged the session tomorrow i think it's really important that the words of condemnation as welcome as they are be followed up by by action and we're talking about about sanctions the imposition of the reimposition of of economic sanctions a arms embargo other options that the international community will have before it but it's very very clear that the international community of as an extraordinarily

important role given the fact that democracy advocates as you mentioned political leaders government leaders but also democracy advocates human rights defenders they've been locked up and they've been silenced inside the country so it's very important for the international community to not only speak but act outside of the country in a language that the need more. will understand and we know from experience they understand the language of economic sanctions i was un special rapporteur on myanmar tom andrews talking to w. earlier now let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world today turkish president french uptight said he would discuss drafting a new constitution for turkey with us arnie's allies he criticized the current constitution for containing traces of military influence and $20000.00 turkey transition to a presidential system that concentrated power and earned on his hands. russian

prosecutors have backed a request to imprison opposition figure alex a nominee for 3 and a half years on embezzlement charges this comes a day after 5000 people were arrested in protests across russia calling for a number on these release. on monday german chancellor angela merkel met with the prime ministers of germany states members of government and vaccine manufacturers to discuss the country's immunization plan in recent weeks the german leadership has faced harsh criticism for the sluggish rollout of vaccinations after the meeting merkel defended her government's approach and asked for patience on what she called the long road ahead only 2000000 people have so far received a vaccine in germany the rollout has got off to a slow start on monday political leaders spent the afternoon discussing with the bosses of medical firms how it can be speeded up but despite delays chancellor

merkel repeated her clear promise does is by the end of the 3rd quarter of the end of the summer we'll be able to offer every citizen a vaccine. that the manufacturers are also told us today that something that can always occur during production and they also will have no prior experience of this but i think the numbers for the different quarters overall are already very relevant and one reason the chancellor is confident she can achieve her targets is that the producers predict they will make ever more vaccine official projections suggest the government expects a total of $322000000.00 doses will be available this year but production cannot be ramped up immediately the current shortages are likely to last for at least 2 more months into the 2nd quarter. looking back the e.u.

approvals process was slower than in some other places in part because it insisted on full approvals rather than provisional ones the chancellor defended that cautious approach yeah get me a couple more money would not have created more capacity order from buy on tech was in fact rather launch the americans have more options but our initial order of 200000000 doses was very high and we had hardly begun to look at the production side in marburg in germany when the european commission was already negotiating a 2nd contract. but such explanations are likely to be of little comfort to people especially the elderly who have been told to expect to get the vaccine but are so far struggling even to get an appointment. dish dish is the medium of the important thing is that the vaccination date is truly reliable people

get really frustrated when the appointments cannot be kept because the delivery for all next and limited resources is that is what annoys people not so much that might call up and ask point turns most prostration is growing as the lockdown drags on the government has sent out a post way back to normality with promises of vaccine now they will face even more pressure to deliver. to delhi as political correspondent tom sparrow summed up the results of the meeting for us it's not a big outcome but there is an outcome the 1st conclusion from this summit is that they will be a new vaccination plan a national plan here in germany where the vaccine amounts and the distribution will be registered this according to german chancellor angela merkel to give more security to german regions that are then in charge of carrying out all those

vaccinations in other words to inviting people who will then go to the specific centers to receive their vaccination this national plan is something that will be developed now to try and give more certainty and more security the 2nd issue also related to certainty and security has to do with the doses that are going to be delivered to germany angela merkel once again reiterated a big promise that she had made earlier saying that any german who would like to have a corona virus vaccine will be able to have it by the end of the summer will be able to have at least have an offer to have a vaccine by the end of the summer. they don't use thomas ferro there in the u.s. much of the east coast is being pummeled by a major winter storm causing widespread disruption cities including new york and boston have suspended their coronavirus vaccination programs as they brace for what could be a record breaking snowfall. authorities started sending out winter storm warnings

as the 1st flights began to fall on sunday night public bus and commuter rail services was suspended in many areas across the northeast of the usa thousands of flights were canceled and schools closed meaning disruption for daily life in new york city mayor bill de blasio said this snow bent the city's fight against covert 19 would also have to go on hold. situation obviously the 1st thing to say is that the storm is disrupting our vaccination effort and we need to keep people safe we don't want folks especially seniors going out in unsafe conditions to get vaccinated shortly afterwards new york state governor andrew cuomo declared a state of emergency in the city and did 9 of the counties he want residents have a tough 2 days ahead if the storm reaches its maximum potential the white house could threaten the previous record snowfall said back in 2016 that storm sold the

city pummeled with 70 centimeters of snow. but heavy snowfall and strong winds didn't deter many who were determined to make the most of the wintery conditions on monday. were at central park on a drive and the planned it is to be until i get too tired have to go home. with officials urging people in the region to stay off the roads and avoid non-essential travel be either in the park or at home it seems right now to be by far the best option. for more on this i'm joined now by journalist james rial in new york james high the governor of new york as the clear a state of emergency he said quote it's going to get very bad very quickly what exactly are people on the east coast bracing for. well the great thing for about 24 hours now the snow started coming down last night being coming down and. there is

talk of this becoming a record breaking snow storm a could be as much as 5060 centimeters that is getting pretty close to a super big storm that dumped down the white stuff on austin january 26th in maybe get won't get close like i say coming down at about 10 centimeters an hour some point so it's really really kick out there people are starting to dig out. so they can get in and out their home but largely this video shot down and of course we've been locked down for quite a long time the government saying maybe the best place to be is the home because of the coronavirus well i guess that advice continues when it's snowing outside and maybe traveling around is going to be difficult so. coronavirus vaccination centers have been closed because of the weather what's likely to be the knock on effect for immunization efforts where you are. i know well it's going to slow everything down

by a couple of days and possibly longer the moment we got the vaccination center is closed for monday and tuesday and let's wait and see because the snow could keep on coming the forecasting just that it's going to be dumping down until at least the middle of tomorrow to have to do it jack and without the fact the nation going to be closed for any longer of course there's a good reason for that at this stage of the back the nation program it's mostly 65 people aged 65 and above who are getting that back rather obviously those are the kinds of people who you don't want to be traipsing along the pavement and in snow and blinding blizzard like conditions so yeah i mean that is definitely going to be delayed and it's going to push things back they took in about appointments that we said field for the beginning of the week being pushed back the end of the wait but obviously its main however long the rollout was going to take it's going to take a little bit longer still to answer at all thank you very much for that update. and

a reminder of the top story we're following for you myanmar's military a seized control of the country declaring a one year state of emergency soldiers have arrested killing their own son soon sheet western leaders have widely condemned the could be u.s. is threatening sanctions and the u.n. security council has called an emergency meeting for tuesday. we're watching to tell you news up next is d.w. news africa i'll have more headlines for you at the top of the hour in the meantime a bummer you know he's got all the latest on our web site and stayed up late coming in to watch it. it's about billions. it's about how we're. it's about the foundation of a new world order. the silk road. china wants to expand its influence with this trade network. putting up there's

a more room for accept some money from the new super power will become. the commercial hub of. the chinese state has a lot of money at its disposal. and that's how it's expanding surging its status in position in the world the. chinese gateway to. start feb 19th w. this is state of the news africa on the program today ending child labor that millions of children are being forced into working often at the expense of going to school so while some mates but it's 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 somalian capital will that dishes. ended after an hour strong gun

battle does this latest attack by al-shabaab have anything to do with the presidential election a week from today. 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 u.n. has set a 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 work is of 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 where many children can be seen working on gold mines. brings us 1st report from an eastern cameroon. search to cool distinct number together with his younger brother he walks 7 days a week. the boys have never been to school. our. family. i come from money i work at the mine 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 a mandatory so per don't have a legal obligation to do the children to make models was remote communities like this one even harvested one school. the combination of the stream poverty and

a lack of educational facilities mean many children simply end up mining gold this region is blessed with mineral but the people here live in misery get children are always growing up without education. these schools were settled by local n.g.o.s this single classroom serves a community of so 500 children just where hundreds are attracted to. it's hard to stop those who do for skipping class according to the teacher their children are so poor that this route 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 who had to do times to do some on his team. is a member of the local and you that helps get into school. this is

families coming to mislead them in parents similar children to school and it 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 cannot 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. illegally in cameroon there are no statistics on how many were going to this immobile minds but for duty it's all total so who 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 because it's my mother who are asked me to come and work here i have to do it i can't disobey my mother taking. more the lead to speak towards about the boy his boy is too good to go to school. for

not just talking this my insight we need to child's education. i am joined by amanda and they hit and yet as she is from is a national label that is asian and joins us from the camera a capitally a 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 the picture income is quite varied the statistics to 2007 and most case an aerial 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 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 see you. read 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 of the sustainable development goals indicates but have to be taken the way bats 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 some all

during the bat you know this this this this thing 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 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 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 work 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 read on its own i mean that a lot of that aggravates. ok that is amanda that is from the international labor organization thank you so much a matter for 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. scroope 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 army and the general and about 100 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 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 told me to have us 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 on the floor for 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 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 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 yeas 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 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 in 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 right across many parts of the country we've seen for example the u.s. withdrawing its $700.00 troops and there's been criticism saying somalia still needs support from wherever on its own 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 but 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 africa took its 1st delivery of 1000000 doses of corn if i inspect scenes today the shots will be given to the country's health workers focused we wish them and on a few good how to stay safe the next trying.

to go off. tom atmosphere means listless play. from the. looks of go down the list for a sense of. nonstop excitement in the final match to.

60 minutes on d w. the degree of. silver surges as amateur traders pile into the precious metal hype investing that drove shares of video game retailer game stop last week appear to have migrated but are commodities like silver really is easy to manipulate we'll talk to our financial correspondent. also on the show german chancellor angela merkel says berlin will streamline coronavirus vaccination plans across the country as it tries

to kick start slow rollout. and will look at the struggling eurostar rail service with a pandemic and brags that taking a bite can stakeholders get it back on track. well welcome to the show i'm stephen beers the end it's good to have you with us well silver appears to be the latest target of the game stop crowd that is the coordinated groups of retail investors who pushed that video game change to new heights last week the silver futures surged by 9 percent at the start of this week they've been driven a 6 month highs after users on reddit message boards organize an investment pile on retail investors say they want to deal of blow to big banks they accuse who they accuse of keeping silver prices artificially low but many others in the forms the now i that there is a coordinated plan for silver trading. and with more on that we go to our financial correspondent in new york yen scored

a yens good to see you how is wall street dealing with this new iteration of this hype investing from from retail traders. well i mean it's clearly fascinating to watch and you already mentioned the price of silver but also some of the silver mining companies were up here on monday by 20 percent. but as you have already hinted at it's not that easy to really manipulate the silver market and even some of those resident investors as they're also partly called are actually warning their peers that they might be betting on a fake and so that that could be pricey in the end it's also difficult to tell how much silver there is really out there on the market but clearly a fascinating development so that we also see it at the metal markets what's happening on wall street at the moment now yes really the primary trading at behind

a lot of this activity is robin hood. it's now seeing a surge of investments and incredible growth of users over the past few days does this mean that we can expect more of these kinds of investment campaigns in the future. well that's obviously what some of those investors some betting on because just here on monday robin hood received some new investments in the amount of almost $2500000000.00. by the way is also expected to go public in the next couple of month if this trend is really going to stay it's not really clear yet and you hear that from some sources but also if we talk about revenue what in particular they've also been criticized

from some of those new investors because they were limiting the trading off the game stop shares for instance so we could also see some anger piling up but yes those youngers those freshest investment do show that a lot of people belief that all the craziness we've seen in deposit couple of days might stay for a little longer and even if the craziness disappears maybe more people in general. to play around with stocks maybe even more sane manner than what we've seen in the past couple of to all right the dummy financial correspondent yens corner keeping us up to date on that craziness from new york over to germany now were chancellor angela merkel said monday the berlin will streamline coronavirus vaccination plans in the country and that she still believes every german resident will have a chance to be vaccinated against the coronavirus by the end of summer their

comments followed a so-called vaccination summit held monday with leaders of german states and events spurred by growing anger over the slow rollout of vaccines across the e.u. . germany's vaccination effort is off to a painfully slow start at this rate some fear it will be 2 years before a majority of germans get the jap. it's a heavy blow for a country that one global praise for contain the virus and the 1st half of 2020 it wasn't supposed to be this way much larger quantities were ordered but vaccine manufacturers have fallen far behind on deliveries to both germany and the e.u. due to supply bottlenecks after sharp criticism from leaders companies are now working to make up the shortfall germany's biotech agreed monday to provide the e.u. with up to $75000000.00 additional doses in the 2nd quarter a day earlier british swedish company astra zeneca agreed to provide an extra

$9000000.00 doses even so the e.u. is expected to get just half of the $80000000.00 doses it was promised by the end of march. we have made good progress sure we now have a difficult phase in february and march without a question and the 2nd quarter the johnson and johnson vaccine will also become available. and the pharmaceutical companies will have by then overcome the initial difficulties so we can then expect significantly more vaccine doses of all can. if wealthy countries like germany are having trouble securing back scenes poor countries are at an even bigger disadvantage according to public health experts they see with seated now as mass mobilization of manufacturing capacity around the world. but this should really be a global global approach many of the large manufacturers are actually based in developing countries the production capacity that exists should be exploited now

should now be used and there were a connection capacity can be built we need to make investments to make that happen . building out new facilities will take time patience and money a year into the coronavirus pandemic those are in short supply. time now for a look at some of the other business stories making headlines russia says its economy shrank by 3 point one percent last year that's a smaller drop in the country's central bank have bank had previously forecast of the rostock statistics agency said the contraction was due to coronavirus lock downs and falling in a g. demand hitting the oil producing country. american automaker ford will use google's android as its main operating system in future models the 2 companies announcing the partnership monday almost 2 weeks after g.m. announced a partnership with microsoft silicon valley is making inroads into the u.s. auto industry the rising digital demands of autonomous and electric cars. u.s. electric car maker tesla is reportedly set to receive at least

a 1000000000 euros in public funding from the german government that's according to business insider magazine the money is meant to finance the building of a battery cell factory near berlin. well 2021 was supposed to be the year that air travel began to take off again but with many vaccine campaigns lagging as we saw earlier the industry outlook is dimming and airlines are now changing their forecasts. the easter season is known as a time of bringing the dead back to life. after a dismal 2020 for the airline industry ryanair officials have set their sights on the spring for a similar resurrection now that optimistic timeline is being extended because an investor call the c.e.o. of wright air pointed to what he called a dramatic recovery later in the year thanks to cover $1000.00 vaccination programs would you buy. that is.

the sum of the use of the beach in portugal spain greece and italy and certainly there's a short. this reassessment comes after ryan air and now nst it's expecting its worst annual performance ever with a forecasted loss of nearly a 1000000000 euros that would be 5 times worse than its previous worst year on record in 2009. but ryanair maintains that it's well positioned for future recovery given its focus on shorter continental flight at a time when especially long haul business travel has collapsed. well for many it's not just a cross-channel connector but a symbol of cross cultural relations now eurostar the train line connecting the u.k. with europe is in need of help brags that in the pandemic have taken a toll on passenger numbers are all sides ready to commit to a bailout. normally around 10 euro star trains arrive at paris is god nor station from london every day now it's just one brick set in the pandemic of guilt the

business of double whammy. the few people still travelling see this cross-channel transport link is to be allowed to fail. to get the whole if there are some financial difficulties at the moment i think that the service benefits the public so it's up to the government to ensure that it can survive they should really ensure that all the transport services are not affected by the crisis so there should be some government aid towards helping the like solve here is star eurostar is heading for a crisis the company's leaders fear it will be the end of the line. and that's just in case i think shoals dogood in the situation is critical for eurostar the new hygiene regulations in the different countries which aren't the same between britain france belgium the netherlands it's complicated 6 issues if they compete. passengers may agree that government should step up to the plate but what's not clear is how much funding different governments can pledge the french or the majority stake in eurostar have already open dialogue with the u.k.

. oh yeah we're working with the english on aid mechanisms which would be proportional to each country's stake in eurostar. st pancras station in london the british government is much less enthusiastic in its approach than the french. the government refused to comment but experts think that it will come to the party. if we are serious that we do want to stay friends with france and germany and belgium. that we oversee have to ensure that u.s. it its present form survives once again there are tough negotiations ahead to keep cross-channel relations on the rails. and finally you might think that alcohol sales would be up in 2020 given the lockdowns and the general mood german breweries however struggle their 2020 sales drop by 5.5 percent and with good reason when you

think about it the lockdown mandated closures of bars restaurants and beer gardens put a major crimp in their sales cancellation of big events the biggest perhaps being germany's world famous october fest also did not help only retail sales did well with more people having a glass of beer at home. all right that's it for me and the business team here in berlin to check us out online dot com slash business i'm seeing there's a nice watch. like the 1st one is a kind and. gigantic coincidence. that creating a flea to earth was just a messy chemistry. where the impossible.

through. the creation of our solar system with our planet is a bit like winning the lottery damage to the. moon for birth. starts feb 11th on t.w. . actually your risk meter just shows the 1st such wrath shows. mark the way to. look closely. carefully. don't. try. to go.

discover the. subscribe to documentary to. 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 now

the film's premiere airing at the sundance film festival in a minute also coming up today. well pin is. the case that there's no difference between classical and pop music gets into twang . the novel payback i guess maybe harrowing lee 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 movie shown so far and joins me now from. scott let's start with the movie that 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 she provides 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 is 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 as played by daniel who you might know from the film get out here he gives a 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 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 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 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 oscar voters will take note . very briefly all these films are 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 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 reboot 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 it 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 lead 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.
