go to bed clothes for. if you have large order to move. the ball with blood. but. we're just learning this is a real. this is news africa on the program today the country with no plans to procure a covert 19 vaccines tanzania's health minister has been promoting a herbal medicine she says will ward off viruses dr dorothy say's the ministry has no plans to receive vaccines for covert 19. the chefs in south africa catering for the hungry and needy using projects that would have otherwise been thrown away.

hello i'm christine it's good to have your company tanzania's ses it has no plans to accept corona virus vaccine so the country's health minister dorothy insists the country is safe in state she's encouraging people to practice hygiene and use traditional medicine to fight disease and as president fully as face international criticism over his handling of the current virus pandemic it is unclear how the country is fairing at this stage but the africa c.d.c. director says that quote if we do not fight this as a collective on the continent we will be doomed close quote. no masks and no social distancing president john mark foley last week at a public event. well he keeps denying the seriousness of the decease and

insists prayers are the cure. without providing any proof he even claims vaccines are dangerous. sometimes and he ends recently went abroad in search of coronavirus vaccines these people brought the virus into our country when they returned. let's stand firm this vaccine is not good at all. the government haven't published any coronavirus data for almost a year back then the country officially had just over 500 cases and 21 deaths president musharraf we has one people only to report official information on the virus and some activists have been arrested. on the streets adar salaam many people still have faith in their president. or know about it we don't have corona virus in

tanzania if the country have the virus the relevant ministry would issue a statement but for now people should stop being fearful and work hard. but opposition politicians and some church leaders are speaking out telling their followers the virus does exist and seeing people must take precautions yes most other countries prepare their vaccine rollout tanzania's health minister sees no need. for how you know. the ministry of health does not have any plans of receiving the 19 back scene that is said to be in use in other countries. instead the minister is promoting a locally produced herbal remedy of lemons ginger and garlic.

and i'm now joined by journalists. welcome to the program sami so we will hear president and other senior government officials downplaying the seriousness of call that 19 what kind of an impact is that having on the tanzanian public. well i would say one of the interesting parts has being you know confusion is really the public because you know a lot of times it install and use and how on a day she ends you know the region not a country you know did. day it's about what's happening in the country you know we learn about the rest of the war doubting you know how they're fighting the virus and then. you hear a lot of confusing messages from from popcorn and you know she choose to go on to vote for instance last studio prison mostly i know god has healed the country from coronavirus and then sometimes he saves people should follow advice is for health and she shows and i write she didn't record since so there's been a lot of confusion ready right and you talked about there being no official records

but one of the country's health has been saying those at the front lines a lot in the hospitals the doctor says. unfortunately we haven't been able to hear a lot from the government made it very clear that the only people who are large jewish are in official standing in officiation formation regarding crowe the virus the script the minister of health the prime minister and president himself and sort of not even doctors cannot speak about what they're experiencing in the hospital so we haven't been hampered here by place to handle accounts of doctors and how to fight and give us a semi apart from encouraging people to practice hygiene the hand washing and says has the government put any measures in place to curb the spread of the virus lockdowns for example. nope the government has not put any such measures and the president has made it very clear that lockdown is not something that he's going to consider doing. and this was way back since last year when the coronavirus was

confined to the country at the state. government you know economy fast people have to go out and you know and they're being calm and so did he was not planning to true to issue any and a lot of that even just a few weeks ago when he repeated that statement in saying that the government is not planning to impose a no knock down. to tell us more about the role of the church is that it yourself president of a fully who is a devout catholic quoted as saying that god had eliminated call the 1000 from tanzania. but the church leaders who have spoken out they're preaching a very different message how important is that. so i don't know the charts lead us and really just the does at large i would say they've been seen as really if billing in that gap of leadership in terms of encouraging people to continue taking measures as we had for instance from you know i actually saw. the sunday

telling the congregation claimed he got a coronavirus ease in tanzania and he repeated say that the virus is in tanzania and that people should continue to precautions he eyed people to a country where it must washing hands and gatherings and things like that and this is very important because tanzania it's such a religious country you know almost everyone in tanzania identifies themselves as item wools lanes or christie and so some other. you know that some other allegiance and so hearing these from very spiritual leaders talk spiritual redoes is really kind of showing leadership in the country at a time when there's been a lot of consumer confusion really at the state of coronavirus in the country so it is very very quiet. says that there are no official numbers coming from the governments people have been muzzled inst into speaking what is likely the reality

on the ground most countries on the continent are experiencing a very brittle 2nd wave any indications of what could be the picture in tanzania. it is very difficult indeed to know what exactly is the picture but if we had for instance from again from from a top catholic bishop just last week actually say there is something that they are not to seen which is quite unusual they say usually for instance in of an area they would buy it maybe there would be cold storage 10 something normal he says maybe once a week recently he ses they've been asked to intuit to officiate this is to. get every almost every day of the week but we also seeing a lot of you know the news here on social media by to feed us quite a lot quite unusual actually especially compared to how it was for instance before december and even throughout last year a lot of people coming forward saying i've lost my power and have or lost my uncle

or lost my parents and so there's been a lot and usually increasing number of deaths in our reporting so that is the only indication but again we cannot confirm what exactly these people are dying but we know a coroner virus it's a disease that has been taking the lives of many people so it's really right to ignore or not place the situation that is sam ilana prank call center. and it is to south africa now where more than $10000000.00 tons of food go to waste every year and that's despite the fact that there are almost $60000000.00 people in the country who go hungry every single day now that food would have ended up in landfills but it's now saving hundreds of lives every day a group of local chefs calling themselves chefs with compassion are gathering waste food that's the for human consumption cooking it and feeding thousands of people who have been burdened by covert 19. credit

cards the weight of. the money cut off from the injuns big events up to $100.00 in and employed i don't believe. that you otherwise only to waste. this comes from the shit school compression. that's big of chefs and. will take over food products and keep it up for those in need it gives all of us and especially the guys and my core group around me a great sense of pride and a great sense of satisfaction and knowing that we have made a difference in so many lives and we have saved so many people from the brink of hunger and starvation. tons of unsold vegetables and fruit i believe that the organization is where almost from biggest price for just every day.

held virtually this year and the biggest winner was undoubtedly the touching coming of age drama coda which garnered 4 wards including the grand jury prize the audience prize and best director of. the film is about ruby vo only hearing member of an otherwise deaf family she's a talented singer and is torn between pursuing her love of music and her fear of abandoning parents. sundance is famous for its documentary section and another big winner there was the summer of soul which took the grand jury prize and the audience award to sew a documentary about the harlem culture festival of 969 which has been dubbed the black woodstock and it's an incredible achievement for 1st time director thompson known as quest love leader of the roots. the

style of architecture called bruges emerged during the 1950 s. with the easy availability of concrete which was also cheap the term brutal ism is certainly not liked by architects of this kind of monumental muscular architecture divides opinion adored by some and hated by others well it's all around us and it also now seems to have its uses for the city sport. and group of young gymnasts on the roof of the church of the catholic college community. with the church's blessing of course the athletes are inspired by the angular sixty's building. if you give me a metric shapes are amazingly beautiful and it's also a bit futuristic even though it's quite old. concrete architect so called brutal ism is in. the 1st edition

a fight and atlas of brutalist architecture sold out in no time the comprehensive work features around 900 photos of brutalist buildings from the last 100 years brutalist the term refers to the french based on blue meaning exposed concrete the preferred material of this kind of architecture is often bombastic and many dismiss it as simply virtual the whole university in boca is one often maligned example but it also has its fans. grew up in neighboring hosts that he found only beauty in the university campus. when the university was built in the 1960 s. my father started working here. where i was raised i grew up here and often played here. unafraid of real concrete on the contrary he campaigned for no understanding for

this radical architect jeff by posting his pictures in social networks and on fan community sites come crete and nature brutal as the need be and here it blends with plants and most in much the same way as rock might living in exposed concrete can even be like living in nature the boundaries between outside and find a blood a concrete wall it's the sound simply beautiful. but when you look at a wall like that i think it has so much life it's so playful you can also do so much more with it much more than you can with a white wall. when restoring damaged areas special attention and sensitivity is required in order to preserve the living concrete in the past problem areas was simply painted grey today stone specialists can carefully restore the pattern of created by lichen and over the years

a labor of love. concrete is beautiful if you're willing to see that beauty and these days many are. who are there is fair to say is a brutalist believe. a hot topic of the 1st 4 in britain for example is a big discussion about preserving brutalist jams there was a campaign. over our ups. which is the university student union building being a very nice building indeed also in germany the being some high profile cases this is the so-called. in berlin a building with a macabre past as the former university animal testing lab which is also currently subject of a campaign to save it brutal isn't causing a bit of

a stern americans that's why one of the last actions of outgoing president donald trump was to issue an executive order to discourage the construction of new federal buildings in the fruits of the star of the robert c. weaver building in washington for example came in for some criticism as it was said it was widespread widespread criticized it's also received a lot of praise of course it was designed by powerhouse architect marcel. now a brutal isn't a went viral on social media some people saying it was inappropriate of donald trump to be concerning himself with architecture at a time of global pandemic but others saying that yes actually brutalist architecture not quite as attractive as some of the classical styles that donald trump preferred obviously brutal is a dividing opinion of the detractors have

a point sometimes well beauty is in the eye of the beholder and even i would not say that every concrete building is a monster piece some find problematic from an ideological point of view seeing it as a manifestation of totalitarianism this is the monument in book area opened in the time of the communist so tell it terry in state a drawer of creation of communist ideology probably but also a stunning piece of brutalist architecture it is thankfully now being restored with help from a german university. i mean it is an extraordinary building give you that brutal isn't just one of those top topics that sort of popular on social media not really that. important in the real world what is popular but it's not quite as popular as can't switch it brings me to my last point i very popular instagram channel

called cancer brutal ism somebody had the brilliant idea of fusing these 2. shows in the photo shop the results are quite magnificent and somewhat disturbing. somewhat disturbing but. as always thanks very much for coming into the studio today. is it just a cliche that latin american musicians have more rhythm in their blood well mexican conductor a lot. perhaps a cliché as she's a bit of a percussionist herself this was apparent recently when she wrote the danish national symphony orchestra in copenhagen for a concert of mexican film music the music chose needed a very simple day huge of big stage brought about interesting discussions on rhythm. in that you'd limited that back to the get the back of the bucket and then

that this might sound like jibberish but it's how drummers and percussionists talk to each other don't get. mistook him conductor along the telepathic is working with a caution section of the danish national symphony orchestra. to think. that it's rare for these musicians to take center stage like this. the danish national symphony orchestra plays a piece by missing composer sylvester us. to listen miles it was written in 1039 as a film score. before it doesn't for caution is performed for once shining the string section. we have 2 small adjustments all the time so that's quite difficult because we have 13 players that need to do that just once it's all

a positive. i love it when we get the sense from all those types of music is whole and reaching and many times i think that if we we need classical musicians need more of your worlds to do what we do because it's our industry is not simply. here. most of what i've learned i've learned from the players much more than conductors who are great but as i go and ask you know how do you do this and what else can you do and what other options that i'm so i'm i'm happy to meet you that's with why you were in the band i mean. i think you're thinking the raymonds. soon the band has picked up a new member and a new center denmark meets mexico and the result is pure exuberance.
