say in kenya hussein is just forced to change her life and she wants the same for others in her community. hello i'm christine window it's good to have your company and the jury is former finance minister. to make history by becoming the 1st african add the 1st woman to leave the world trade organization it comes off to her rival south korea's trade minister a human he announced her withdrawal from the race has been without a head since the former director stepped down an organist all but one of the 164 member countries back to his appointment it was the u.s. and the trumpet ministration that was opposed now because the deputy oh. works on

consensus any single member country can block decisions as has been the case here now following the withdrawal office south korean rival a while sh she was looking forward to the conclusion of the selection process more about what her likely appointment could mean in a moment but 1st here's a video she released when she launched a campaign. truth is therefore spoke good. are seen it with my own. its ability to improve media. markets. our spend my time working with teams around from around to give her a core group. improve sticks to fight corruption unemployed comp. on our rights that's just the face of the global economy and many countries facing difficulties. this is a pretty common tree and the doc you feel has

a right tone it's time to come. it's time for the doctor to get them to come on the ground concord. rebuild trust and return to tom. my name 1st your point your grammar i'm going to bring this job i want to thank you fresh air of my eves to the w. to you i make it fit to write for the 21st century. and i'm now joined by mostly. as a journalist and moderator and the chief executive officer of the conversation strategist welcome to news africa well we've just heard that you know. secured the endorsement of all but one of the w t o's the member countries why is she such a favorite. if you don't think you so much apple have in the attic she's been

a bit because she really shows that was well competence and capability now this means you had started this conversation reminding us of course that this is. at the top echelons of the global level when it comes to build a leadership and said if you've seen her with over $25.00 you history and there will be back she was overseeing the operation it's not only what africa asia and southeast asia as well while she was at the world bank she's been minister of finance twice in nigeria and it's not just. the closest thing i've seen it is or was about the fact that she quotes massive 7 as a she wants united to quite meet because also single handedly responsible for the 60 percent debt reduction that we saw in that period get one of the. most important you listen to that but you know she talks a lot of i think. it's coming into the got. this outsider status might have stood somebody out the answer for her in writing it's

a rational manner and to. the british momentum to what is a drug that it's political ackman sort of the bill why then was the trump administration opposed to her candidates. that's the 1000000 the $1000000.00 question and we saw what was released as an official statement indicating these supports out for you. but i didn't realize didn't this could also be explained by the absence of. that time but many stations are honestly and the absence of multiplexes in general and does quite exciting to. president biden talking about. whiteness it's that he may just as the stick me seem to live in the no mystic bat in us foreign policy and aggravated has been really at the bottom of the list a proud useful at the time administration recently that it's now out in the

not reading up when in fact it going well at. the appointment right so 6 she says that this is a critical moment for world trade what does she mean by that. and that's a great statement because if you're going to look at it and package itself actually saying well it's an opportunity to go back to the whole purpose the founding christmas for that. there's a lot of expectation that. rates of prominence for the global south and in place in the there's an expectation that all of the big did not involve i think you've seen the absence of massive terror negotiation the last 25 years the disarray that you've seen turns out the statement dispute mechanism that whatever that is going to is going to change and here's the critical moment of great

interest and return back to the fundamentals and that was she talked about and that rigor that you need a really intense to drag in the 21st century and i think best use really the relevance of the whole as he has been you're going to get and get him to say this is a new era with a new leader with the knowledge and one of these factors coming together might really mean that you're going to see i've got a different deputy open for it. all right now if they so if they if this is confirmed which is very likely going to be. it would be the 1st african of woman to be the deputy obo for we had kofi annan and the 1st african to need the you know ed we have to draw a scapegrace at the w.h.o. so what's left for africans and was next it was a book. i did very very it's a very cheeky question or we discuss an important one who has already granted us this remember that they're here to you and women black now is south africa's only

getting to be president dr who is if you look at this remember that the u.n. . and. he got up quite a lot he who comes from egypt and i don't want to your christian know who is next well the brigade. you risk opening that thing do you do you know how institutions is being made at the can so really it is the president of the globe and whether it's the director general of the international labor organization unesco you see it not only is all the table ready to begin to see and you know. you can see before all right well that certainly encouraging this knows it will have a lot of speaking to us from cape town thank you for that big so much. now africa's athletes are also legendary even if i say so myself and of course the soccer players are too quiet a few cricketers from the continent

a lot of them from zimbabwe have made the cut so you get the picture sportsmen and women from the continent all world meeting and also beating but fencing it is gaining ground among young people in kenya with many of them using it to improve their lives let's find out more from a mixed report. of the vertical or mental those who've won or lost. so also really interesting. fencing a sport that is still relatively unknown in kenya. and i robie is only practiced by about 75 fences but coach stephen o'connell is on a mission to ensure that this sport is recognized. fencing you come. in fencing is a new sport in kenya but now it's slowly becoming widespread and this makes me have

to walk or in more stadia you know but you can see from my trainees it does help them a lot and that's changed their lives and when we started with them they did not have shoes then but today they do have shoes and they're now in a year to. run on may change a key and their behaviors have changed and they've become responsible in what responsible. in 2012 steven started offering his classes today fencing has gained more ground attracting people from all age groups who want to learn more about the sport. one of them is actually one gary she is one of 20 female friends and a 21 year old started fencing a year ago but she's already making huge strides. see. when they realize oh well they had a. chance to. win yes there.

october and now i'm going to run off at a record breaking speed into the weekend see an extra hour back. of the. gold for over a month from home the 4th i'm going to. miss the boat on the. dragons were. true.

to. leave. i. told her. mom. respect. is just 6 a great close harmony group from south africa more about them in a minute welcome to our culture also coming up today. it's known as the queen of

instruments the organ is interim and of the year here germany. and that huge you know souvenir the snow globe was actually invented accidentally over 120 years ago in vienna. parts we begin with the acapella group just 6 based in johannesburg and be more hour in audiences with their distinctive harmonies for 10 years now at the moment like so many musicians the world over they are unable to give live performances but seeing in close harmony isn't easy and requires a lot of practice that's why they still try and get together to rehearse when they can. find a carter is a singer in the acapella group just 6 he's on his way to the 1st meetup this year the guys just want to keep in touch. with

a tough season but their push on the show is crazy music 90 music is going to keep the seat you know to. be in the past 5 years or so i've spent a lot of time together so we pretty much become like brothers so when we are separated from each other for a long time you kind of feel before you. ringback on some ball have planned to celebrate its 10th anniversary with concerts a parole board but kovac 19 put a stop so that 2 of the singers were not able to attend the rehearsal you to travel restrictions the hardest part for artists in general.

because we need to have people you know filled up in a room like this one that we have here so we haven't been able to work consistently . better symes a performance in south africa that was part of joint show bella's campus project supporting cooperation between musicians from different parts of the world in 2019 just 6 and the all female groups e.l.o. from leipzig were the beneficiaries. the 2 groups worked on a program which they 1st performed in south africa and then in germany it was a great exchange in hearing what they do with them here you asked trying to put that together. the climax of the project was a performance from the german youth orchestra at the beethoven festival in on we

were even having plans to sing there you know in 10 to 20 probably can meet again and do another tour somewhere else in the 2020 why and because that's what it looked like and then 2021000 happened and then everything just went sinking. and not being able to sing anymore it does affect you in a way because this is something you did if you think this is something that's a calling and it's something that gives you life. since the pandemic struck the group members all have taken on supplementary jobs under carter and most of his income from performing. now he's giving online piano lessons to make ends meet. here. nice ones. we you know each person now is you know going to get into their savings and kind of

depleting here we think that they. even saved up so it's quite challenging. one of the group's members is still recovering from covert. suffered from it and it affected me you know mentally and physically i'm just grateful that i'm still here i can still sing in future when things open up. this. world for. they really sing great harmonies it is the world's most imposing yet most versatile instrument the organ it has a range of up to 6 octaves some have as many as 5 keyboards and it can sound like a massive symphony orchestra one moment and the next accompany the quietest of practice just in germany alone there are 50000 organs of all different shapes and

sizes and here it is being named the instrument of the year 2020 wall. and organist needs the right shoes and to focus mind and body playing the organ is a bit like a work outs. the organ is a larger than life experience in the greatest possible transformation of the material interest here and here in christ something like tone plus color over time . the organ is the biggest the lowest the highest the loudest and quietest of instruments it consists. of pipes bellows and

keyboard the organ dates back to ancient times joined the middle ages monks started using opens in churches the instruments reflected god's omnipotence with its infinite seeming sounds skating heights above and beyond the every day while. caught used to be a cultural manager but now he leads a very different blind he practices the organ every day it's like meditation and exercise in the wall and he's fascinated by this instruments. if you touch key on a piano it goes ping ping if you touch it here there's a current of wind which means that air is my material it's unbelievable the sound that unfolds. borish invited cameron carpenter to come to

berlin from new york he's known for his over doc style he's one of the fastest organists in the world he also created his own digital organ. just walking to the console to this day feels fills me with a kind of deep anticipation and excitement and nervousness and a readiness as though i'm coming to the moment that i was made for. cameron has made it his mission to free the instrument from the shackles of religion. idea that the organ comes from church is

christian propaganda it's not only about playing the organ but also about expanding our idea of what the organ is which of course includes giving the organ identity outside of church and also in people's minds as being possible to be something other than only true. to its fans the organ is an instrument that lives. i'm certainly. always beginning again my my journey with the organ with this organ is does and what's beautiful is that the organ is an instrument which doesn't just give itself to the player has to be conquered it's designed you feel like. when you sit down to play the old good maps and. then one for i know. and now finally the organ is

instrument of the year a crowning glory for the queen of instruments. right now there's lots of snow about here in the northern hemisphere and that leads me nicely on next subject the snow globe invented in 1800 in vienna by an enterprising surgical instrument mechanic called evin peyote see it was in his kitchen rather than his workshop that he had his you rico moment the patsy family still makes no globes to this day with the same formula haven't patsy discovered over 120 years ago. you shouldn't shake a snow globe instead you have to turn it on its head and wait until the snow sutton's then you turn it back over and it's no use. patty the

3rd knows all the secrets about snow. his grandfather avin patsy the 1st conducted his initial experiments in this workshop indiana he was a mechanic of surgical instruments and an inventor using a glass bowl filled with water he was actually planning to enhance operating room lighting. blanco's for up to what more than 120 years ago my grandfather invented the snow globe pure charm something the creature feels he happened to find some semolina in his mother's kitchen and he tossed some in the bowl of water and it sucked up the water and floated down to the bottom of the bowl very slowly and he thought it looks like it's snowing in this glass box of course that's how the idea was born from the snow globe pretty quick. his grandfather found a miniature version of the basilica in marriott's head an austrian pilgrimage site and he painted a pedestal with shoe polish and glued on the church setting it in a glass globe in 1900 he applied for

a patent on the world's 1st snow globe the flags fluttered down gently thanks to the unease formula. yes meant my father was the 1st to produce the mixture of snow that we used to the tree and that's my secret so far i'm the only one who knows exactly how it's done. directly next to the workshop is the family's own snow globe museum the yearly snow globe is a top export 3 former u.s. presidents have one on a shelf. like this snow globe for the obama family i think you get given by a resident of vienna on a visit to the white house the company presently stocks more than 350 motifs. remember any of its attributes of a perfect world and that's been my world for over 40 years. and cozy world where it always sounds.

i leave you with some snowshoe arctic caliber the work of retired school master came as a person who with the help of friends has been stomping around in the snow covered fields of old teria making magnificent geometric patterns.

men in the much and i will. do. this is deja vu news live from berlin russia ties under strain on a visit to moscow the european union's foreign affairs chief says the jailing of kremlin critic alexian of all me is a low point to have all these now on trial again this time for defamation. meanwhile german chancellor angela merkel condemns the kremlin's decision to expel several european diplomats as unjustified she was speaking after

a joint defense and security meeting with the french president and. i'm irked this is fact america is back to diplomacy is back to senegal foreign policy. president joe biden had a reversal of trump's america 1st. i'm sumi so much got to thank you for joining us germany has summoned the russian ambassador over the kremlin's decision to expel diplomats from sweden poland and germany moscow accusing them of taking part in a legal protest against the jailing of alexina volley now it comes after the european union's top diplomat described the block's ties with russia as being under

severe strain during a visit to moscow. the e.u.'s goal is to keep communication channels open as their foreign representatives to visit moscow and there are some opportunities for cooperation during his meeting with russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov the e.u. representative you said burrill said the russian vaccine sputnik movie was just one of them but neither side has any illusions about the low point their relations have hit and the elephant in the room is alex enough that you can't expect he has conveyed to minister of russia i want to be concerned and great to great it will appeal to release on the launch of the investigation over these budget russia's foreign minister argues the e.u. is behaving more and more like the us always threatening with new sanctions. we've become accustomed to these unilateral and illegitimate measures and we have

adjusted our positions accordingly we assume to the e.u. is no longer a reliable partner. but europe. elsewhere in moscow journalist waited outside a district court during a hearing in another trial against not only he is accused of slandering a war veteran for rail reportedly had sought a meeting with the kremlin critic but it's unclear whether he will be able to see him before his departure on saturday. amid that dispute with russia german chancellor angela merkel and french president in my call held a virtual defense and security council meeting on friday afternoon it was their 1st since u.s. president joe biden took office but the strained ties with russia overshadowed the talks berlin and paris have taken different approaches to dealing with moscow after a lesson of only was jailed both however condemned russia's actions.

and our chief international editor richard walker was at that press conference he joins us for more hi richard we are now seeing that there berlin has some of the russian ambassador after moscow expelled those 3 european diplomats what do you make of this. yeah i mean that's really almost the least that you would expect to happen after a move like that which the german side and the e.u. broadly has definitely dismissed as unjustified angela merkel herself saying that there was actually no reason for these expulsions to take place and we've been in contact with the foreign ministry here in berlin trying to find out if any further measures are going to follow soon so obviously we'll report on those if and when we hear back on that but i mean it really is striking just how the relationship between the e.u. broadly and germany and france in particular and russia just keep moving from new lows her new low i mean we've had everything that's happened with election of only of course a direct connection to berlin here with that whole story because it's here in

berlin that alexy novelle knee was essentially saved after that poisoning in a berlin hospital. brought back to health before going back to russia and there's been just a litany of reasons to question the relationship between the e.u. and the russians over recent years we've had the russians accused of hacking the bundestag federal the federal parliament computer networks there was a murder in berlin park in broad daylight which the russians have been accused of so i think event after event really putting relations under strain and i think given all of that what was really striking out of that press conference today was that americal and emanuel mark or still kept stressing that they need to keep lines of dialogue open with moscow. and beyond that richard they also discussed how the future relationship with china should look tell us about that. yeah i mean this is

one of the big questions affecting not just china but the u.s. the new u.s. administration coming in in washington the u.s. and joe biden have made a big point of saying that they want to work closely with democratic allies around the world to kootenays and challenge against china more more coherently than they have in the past but the europeans are being quite cagey about it so i asked my call emmanuel macor why that was. my belief that it is very important for the e.u. to have its own china policy which would of course have a lot in common with the united states because we've built on common values it's good mines on the other the theme of none the less there are many reasons to work together with china such as climate protection and many other issues we should strengthen multilateralism worldwide again. i don't think decoupling is the right

way to go especially in this era of digitalization the sick good news of there are different aspects to our relationship with china there are partnerships in some areas such as the climate where since the pirates are agreement china is a reliable partner and we're going in the same direction but there are other areas where we're competitors such as trade a huge industrial policy there are yet other areas where there are serious differences of opinion and strategic rivalries for instance on the question of values. that is to live in a. richer how do you think that response will go down in washington. you know we're essentially because it's hardly a wholehearted embrace is it joe biden's position and sort of offering here and i think it is quite interesting to compare the european attitude towards china and russia and what we're seeing from the incoming administration and broadly speaking you do have the united states pushing for a tougher line against both china and russia than the europeans are i mean to take

one example again with russia is the nord stream to natural gas pipeline which is the pipeline which is being built between russia and germany is nearing completion the americans have always said that this is a bad idea makes europe far too dependent on russian gas but germany in particular is sticking to it doggedly and i'm going to medical saying today that despite everything that's been going on that we've been talking about with russia just now that whole broad position on north stream too was unaffected by that and i think it can be interesting to see if we have a similar kind of. sticking to their guns on the european side about china that they're determined to kind of keep keep channels of communication open with china and of course a very important economic ties with china or whether the europeans will gradually allow themselves to be kind of drawn into a more american style position on china that it's time to get tougher our chief

international editor richard walker thank you so much. why u.s. president biden has outlined his vision for american foreign policy in his 1st major policy speech biden said he wants to reassert u.s. global leadership we build alliances and reverse donald trump's america 1st agenda he vowed to end u.s. support for the war in in yemen and halt the withdrawal of u.s. troops from germany. the united states is ready to engage with the world again that was joe biden's message from the modeled holes of washington state department for biden that means foreign policy must be grounded in a multilateral world rather than in defense of america's interests that puts america 1st. is back diplomacy is back at the center of our foreign policy so the u.s. will once more try to find solutions to the world's problems like in yemen dubbed

the world's worst humanitarian crisis years of conflict has destroyed much of the country killing hundreds of thousands of people and leaving more near starvation the u.s. has given tacit backing to one side of that war no more says by. this war has to end. and to underscore our commitment we're ending all american support for offensive operations in the war in yemen including relevant arms sales in the moved represents a broader shift in u.s. foreign policy that previous administrations have been accused of siding with authoritarian nations in the name of stability but the president wants that to end and he knows he's going to need help for biden taking a stronger stance internationally will mean having to reach out to washington's old allies in europe and elsewhere he ordered a freeze on u.s. troop withdrawals abroad including from u.s. bases in germany the trumpet ministration wanted to pull out nearly 10000 of some

35000 troops based in the country biden will depart from that plan for america in alliances are our greatest asset and maybe want to promise it means standing shoulder to shoulder with our allies in key partners once again. the biden administration comes to power with diplomats morale lower and its alliances chasing off restoring bugs will be a huge challenge let's get some political reaction from germany now we have omitted reporter with us he's the foreign affairs spokesperson for the opposition greens good evening mr noory per we heard america is back do you find those words reassuring i lost the speech 1st because he embraced the value of diplomacy that's been the lack of this for the last 4 years and then this was a very important issue being addressed and i'm on the line i don't force part of

diplomacy is. supporting the alliances you're in and i'm the contributing to these alliances and this is what the president biden promised so good because he's using the right words he's signaling the right direction but what about his actual policy choices what he think of those. listen look at yemen for example for the last or look at libya does arm twist some polls of the off the last 4 years where my government tried to bring up initiatives and they just fail in the last 23 weeks we got more results even by the americans than then the german foreign ministry for example for the last 4 years on libya they blamed and shamed the countries who are who are part of the breach of a. day weapons and by within a country and in yemen he just announced that they are gonna stop this support for pretty saudi arabia which hopefully going to be the end of the war there this is

this is was the most important contribution which has been black off for for the last 6 years now hopefully we can bring in big and bring to peace to to yemen and this is much more than that germany did for the last years partly because of a lack of initiative fine but a lack of courage in this part of the war and of course partly because this is united states that we're just germany and this also means that we have to understand that if you want to come back to a table of still trying to save you have to stick to the european union and junot where do you see the most potential for different greenman between washington and berlin under the biden administration. all right a couple of disagreements one is china i think it's a good idea to face china as a challenge for our system but if by the administration just goes on the way up the

coupling we won't follow and we can follow because there are a bunch of. battlefield we have to fight together with the chinese the main one is that of course climate change and there won't be a protection against climate change the work that all cooperation with china and of course is the ad yesterday it won't be a job sharing like the america's going to tell us what to do and we just follow we have our own initiatives our own band and our own sovereignty to be fair but there are a couple of more issues also north korea for example or the question of digital taxation which of course is the huge issue for the next 4 years all midnapore the foreign affairs spokesperson for germany's opposition green thanks again for joining us. thank you and one more item before we go huge is geometric formations a started appearing on frozen lakes and snow covered fields in canada behind the epic artworks of retired teacher stomping around in snowshoes to beat back his

pandemic flu now along with a team of friends he stomps out his designs after careful drafting at least 20 art weight works have been crafted so far the largest around 400 meters long each piece can take up to 3 days to make. thank you for watching. her with a not good on your headlines at the top the hour. life on earth minnesota coming to an end. but the 2

coincidences. that sam created new flee to earth was just a messy chemistry lab up mission. where the impossible but the truth of the creation of our solar system with our planet is a bit like meaning the lottery the absolute good. one for birth. starts feb 11th monty w. . is the race to lead the world trade organization nearing its end its goals the a con job the wall of nigeria is the last one left standing after her arrival pulls out of the race should be the 1st female and 1st african b.t.o. director general if selected and she would have her work cut out for her. also on the program it's the biggest tech i.p.o.

since shares in chinese video up kwai show triple in value after its listing on the hong kong stock exchange. and its super bowl weekend in the u.s. and that means ridiculous and traditionally expensive t.v. advertisements this year's lineup looks a little different. and however to tell you why. well welcome to the show i'm sitting beardsley in berlin it's good to have you with us with the next director general of the world trade organization appears to be all but decided the withdrawal of south korea's yomi young hay from the race means only one candidate remains for when i jerry and finance minister ngozi ican joey wallah she would become the 1st woman and 1st african to leave the w t o the organization had been due to announce the winner in the contest by the end of last year but the process was delayed by disagreement among member countries not at the top of a conduit while as agenda would be sorting out the organizations failing dispute

resolution mechanism which has no serving judges at the time for the 1st time ever and she also says she wants to rebuild trust by mediating between the u.s. and china in their ongoing trade dispute and several members are pushing her to reform the body including its rules on state industrial subsidies and i conjure a country while is clearly aware of the challenges ahead saying what are the words you want you hear about the w t o currently this function is paralyzed or it doesn't do anything relevant that's something she's hoping to change now for more on a conduit while and the director general ship i'm joined by rita carr she's president of the german institute of global an area studies were institute and humbert a reader thank you for joining us so is a conduit while a sure thing as the next to read a director general. great see you thank you for having me the trumpet ministration had blocked the appointment of doctor and it will be o'connell

if they are not and had announced that it was backing miss you from south korea now that miss you has withdrawn from the process it doesn't automatically mean that duck tell me they are now would be appointed. because it is all 10164 members of the world trade organization who have to agree with consensus on the appointment and to get this consensus the biden administration would have to revive us the previous administration's decision to block this what in fact not be such a difficult thing for the biden administration to do and it would be consistent with the new administration's commitment to multilateralism. so if it does undercut the process and does not insist on a new process on a new race the u.s.

would serve itself and the system well if it were to apply to oakland when you hear they are not and also push for an agenda of serious reform and major overhaul of the organization we talk about serious reform a major overhaul what are the top items at that agenda as you see it. is so 2 there are 3 pillars there are 33 functions of the organization negotiation dispute settlement and transparency and none of these are working very well we see in the collapse of the doha round of negotiations you mention in your report the problems with the absolute body and the dispute settlement mechanism the transparency function is severely handicapped and ill equipped to address present day problems so all these issues need to be addressed and it's very commonplace
