i don't believe this you know i mean in your minutes. we're going. to turn more importance on in this unit and what it would you know if you don't know what is it that i'm. going to get censored for seriously. but a car going on what they're hearing from people. this is do you have the news africa coming out on the program political deadlock in somalia the country is now facing a constitutional crisis up to failing to hold elections this alongside of violent is not just insurgency a locust impatient and serious food shortages. and will meet south africa's spinach king is trying to get people to ditch junk food and eat more often the 3 greens.

hello i'm christine one day it's good to have your company so malia is facing a leadership crisis to president mohammed up to the high e. mohammed's 1st term in office ended with no clear path toward elections on monday and elian's office offered they would no longer recognize president mahmoud of dalia hommage the u.n. security council will meet to discuss somalia's political crisis now the country was supposed to hold an election by monday but the favorite was missed as the central government and federal states obl the house to conduct the votes. is a tense atmosphere in the country people in the capital mogadishu told us they off if fall off what could happen. most of the other people are concerned

because of the tension between presidential candidates and the government. and because the election was not held on time. we hope our leaders will resolve this tension and hold the election and we hope the government and the opposition will come together and agree on the election process like a new audio. we need peace and stability in this country. and if. i go out of my life the probable border that we don't want destruction to happen in the country and we want a fair election to be harrell's of. the law we want both the opposition and the current government to work together for the good of the country. and if nothing. else about the road few were ever going to say if the politicians don't come to an understanding. it could lead to war discussion. and the rising crying for public and i am now joined by abdulaziz below he's

a journalist in somalia's capital mogadishu good to have you on the program abdul aziz why of the it is in somalia failing to agree on how to conduct the election. there's number of setbacks that are somalia leaders are in now facing a one of which is their election because and just 5 little states 2 election venues have been designated for elections to take place and that does not apply in the original state of jubilant that is the one that shows the border with neighboring kenya and their federal authorities out of the view that jubilant elections will only take place in there and get beharry but they're going to have it is not under the control of that regional state of jubilant it's under the control of the somali federal government and the regional leader in that area. argues that unless a federal troops are pulled out of the entire give the region then elections cannot take place there so this is one of the biggest that has caused their election a delay and it's the one that made the talks that are taking place over and over

again to call ups a lost of friday's are there's also another setback that is there lection of lawmakers from somaliland region were supposed to their actions supposed to take place in mogadishu but there is a normal kind of them in place yet really on how these elections will take place and ranks of the issue the composition of the electoral commission because regional states are adding that it is made up of the president's allies and it might tilt in favor of the current president in terms of elections ok in the meantime the opposition are insisting that the president step down and that a transitional council be appointed to lead the country and so the election is eventually held is this likely to happen. well that is the opposition demands issued an ultimatum saying that the president will allow power to this transitional national council it does not have been formed or thought it is and including the president in these address recently to parliament said that

talks can still take place between regional and prettily leaders who did not truelove out that cannot happen. and are skeptical saying that the current president mohammed of the life of my group is an obstacle to the implementation of the election itself it says that it needs a transitional national council that will be headed by a group of individuals that included the speakers of the somali parliament the somalis senate members of the opposition civil society unless all these people are brought on board the opposition is adamant that if the current president is left to coordinate the election process then elections might never happen that is their biggest worry for now but it's not clear whether this transitional national council can be formed because a we're expecting our talks to continue in the next coming weeks according to authorities right and we know that president mohammed abdul ali mohammed was running for a 2nd term what was just 1st term like and what he possibly have wife reelection

with with a major public support. exactly as you mentioned it the current president in 2017 came in and made a trim from our happiness from this uptick were very eager for his presidency because in 2011 he was ousted as prime minister and the country witnessed a massive demonstration so many people are quite young for his leadership but over the years things didn't turn out as the smiling public expected in terms of security for instance there were deadly arch of our tax that escalated time and again including a deadly attack in september in october rather 142017 that killed more than $600.00 people that is the deadliest attack to ever take place in somalia and it happened and these watch butter then again in terms of economic reforms financial progress the rebuilding of the somali security art architecture all these are some of his strong points and these are some of the issues that he's going to raise in his campaign are in their coming election so many people still yes and young for the

leadership so that is it is a 2nd but then there is the biggest challenge now that needs to be under that's their election. ability to tap into us from a debt issue thank you. let's take a look now at some of the stories making news across the continent at least 28 people have been killed off to an illegal factory in the american city was flooded finally hit your brains all floors he said emergency work is had rescued 10 people from the factory in the basement of a residential building the total number of work at the site was not immediately known. the democratic republic of congo has confirmed a nother outbreak of ebola in the country's east women died in north kivu province the government say it has begun tracing everyone who came into contact with the

woman to try to eradicate the if you didn't make as soon as possible. dozens of supporters. opposition feta last months will have clashed with police in the capital duck call off to a woman accuse the politician all 3 offices fired tear gas to disperse to demonstrate his so-called deny the allegations and accuse president barchi saal of trying to end his political career. now the guy you see behind me is not in his community as this spinach king that's because jenna is on a mission to start a health revolution in south africa's townships using the leafy green vegetable. him in cape town. party time in the philippi township there celebrating the opening of

a new spinach king store heads for its founder has joined the festivities welcome to the spinach thing a healthy food a critical phase out the processing company we make sure that the veggies are not just eaten is the also the incorporated into a list of over here with quite the spinach infusion of smoothie right here before the spinach can appear consist of no preteen in. her teen low in carbs knowing sugar is no i in. team years ago and i'm john i started his business on the back of it to your investment big finish bread and his neighbors over since then he has that in expanded supplying supermarkets and opening new branches. in the philippi branch is already his 5th store.

the ingredients are organic and grown locally like here in khayelitsha cape town's biggest talent ship over there you see the railway station and right next to it it's the spanish just grown and if we move over here to the other side this is where you see the 1st green bakery the 1st spanish king branch at the moment it is quite empty and that shows you that it's still a long way to go to change people's eating habits. the staple in south african cooking but smoothies all breads made from the leafy green are still seen as rather unusual. i think it's empty because of the influence because our lives see us as people come up to me to school in safety we don't treat theo such eating healthy like that so we still had that take so many off. the camp we know 1st of all we to go for rising all this. i'm john through to understand what. the residents of the philippine township are a bit small she was listening to

a talk on the benefits and cultivation of a state they're. looking at yeah yeah i just hit the delete key so we need that that isn't how it used to once a week. because you don't know that we do this is how i think it's time to if that's what's going to taste the food taste so to dishes it can be a good person katydids all me my everything that's nice i mean i'm a ship a sound bite down the slope eyes that he had to taste it in the smooth especially this movie amazing amazing is also how the spin is being describes the future of his business and feels the demand for he'll feel productive is growing globally. we are actually planning on the fusing brain cheese all over the country and then also sending a lot of franchises to countries such as germany countries like france

churches since 87. and if you can't go out to look at some art why not order some in we look at an art delivery service that's right here in germany. welcome to arts and culture well it was 60 years ago today on february 9th 1961 that the beatles gave the 1st of nearly 300 concerts in a cellar in liverpool known as the cavern club it was hardly a glamorous gig and they were paid 5 pounds for the appearance but 60 years later their legacy not only for liverpool but for music itself is enduring. and we'll talk about that influence right after this. this is how things look 60 years ago just before the beatles had their worldwide breakthrough.

to this day beatle mania still attracts visitors to liverpool at least when there is no pandemic this footage is from the summer of 2018 when we met with kevin mcmanus head of city of music liverpool at unesco designation. so we're almost to see his the whale famous cover which still attracts millions it's august every year the original cavern club was torn down in 1973 to make way for a subway line this reconstruction was built in 1904 but for liverpool it's no less important than the original one. that. feels even all this time later the peels are still massively important to be blasted. with over 80000000 so this is the 1000000 pounds of the city over 2000 jobs where response but that's just so the beatles industry. lots of bands play here beatles cover bands well famously the arctic monkeys played. well famous

star now plays. but of course at the moment no one is playing here like all clubs in britain the cavern club is shuttered due to the pandemic it's not clear when beatles fans will be able to once again enjoy a concert by a fab 4 cover band for now they'll have to mark this important anniversary privately. i think you could mark that anniversary by dancing around the apartment for instance and scott roxboro joins me once again from vaughn to talk about the beatles legacy highs. now 1st off we just heard about the cavern club there in liverpool but there's another spot here in germany that claims to be the birthplace of the beatles isn't there. yet of course humble or having the northern northern

city of germany that is where the river band the red light district the beatles 1st performed under that name the band 1st performed in $1060.00 in the summer of 1960 but it was in liverpool in the cavern club where they were actually discovered by a producer brian epstein and it's in liverpool in the cavern club where star 1st joined the band so. melees some claim to being where the beatles started i think we can say that it was liverpool and the cavern club that is where the beatles became the beatles so they were now the beatles fans have a lot to look forward to this year as the kiwi filmmaker peter jackson is finishing up a documentary on the fab 4 tell us something about the. yeah this documentary is called the beatles get back and it's peter jackson looking at the making of their last studio album let it be he got access to some like 56 hours of completely unseen footage his production on the film was

a bit delayed of course because of coded so he still editing the film but he put out some footage some sort of teaser footage so we can have a look at what he's working with and the footage of some amazing is just the like the looking at how they produced the album and then sort of jostling back and forth and throwing ideas back and forth in the studio and i think this film could be interesting because it could maybe do something to correct the myth that there was a lot of animosity among the beatles at the end. of their their life as a band at least from the footage in this film they look like they're having a great time the movie itself is set to come out this summer disney is supposed to bring it out in theaters hopefully and i really really can't wait. on that for days and it does look absolutely incredible stuff we've never seen before so it's interesting because the beatles broke up more than 50 years ago but why are people still so wild about them why are they so important and how would you describe their influence musically. yeah i think the beatles are just tremendously influential

they transformed pop music and are actually still continuing to influence pop music i mean you can look directly at bands that are almost completely directly inspired by them a bit like the way since the brit pop group which was almost a is almost a beatles cover band they so closely copied their sound but even their look and their style in the music that they did but you'll see the blues influences the places you wouldn't know it nor would normally expect i mean take a band like nirvana a sort of a hard rock band from the sound you wouldn't expect that that's a lot there's a lot of beatles influence there but kurt cobain the bandleader of nirvana said he based his songwriting very closely on that of paul and john and for a band the other psychedelic band the flaming lips a little while ago they did a very mix of sergeant pepper's album be the baby dolls album so you see the influence of the beatles really continues to this day they basically revolutionized music it's amazing because you can almost say they're right up there with beethoven

we could hardly imagine rock'n'roll without them thanks very much scott for those insights and let's hear a little bit more of that revolutionary sound with some more from peter jackson's upcoming beatles documentary entitled get back. something completely different now and if you've ever walked into a famous cathedral and marveled at the stained glass windows open perhaps yellow spared a thought for the work that goes into them stained glass like that has been and hansing the beauty of sacred space and since the construction of gothic cathedrals back in medieval times and the craft today is of course much more high tech but no less painstaking and music studios stuff on take can attest to that.

for generations the munich studios stuff on take has worked with glass here in munich the studio has been renowned for its stained glass church windows since 887 . 9 and designer cutter took over operations in 2015 from a member of the founding fantic family. last year they received global acclaim for 3 windows they made for the chancel of tola abbey in western germany they were designed using motifs by famous german painter god krishna. nirvana we were invited to submit a bed for making new windows for tall i abbey one artist had already been picked the other was described only as an internationally known artist when we got the commission we found out it was. with us the studio is making 31 more windows for

the abbey based on designs by afghan artist. it takes an average of about one month to make one of the 9 metre told windows each depict scenes from the bible some of the detailed windows have already been installed churches are the primary source of the munich studios commissions but it's works can also be found in secular settings as well such as this tiling in a munich subway station. cooperation with famous designers promises new business whether it's woven glass for lamps. or a table with a color fade. the 48 advantage and that is our broad group of customers in principle anyone can buy this for their heart he can attract more customers that

way an experimental. product and if it's successful then we'll have a product we can make in series. whether it's a design object or a church window the munich studios good stuff fun to show all the facets of colored glass. well finally with museums closed and people spending a lot more time at home it's certainly not surprising they get sick of staring at their own 4 walls day in and day out but what if you could just order up an artwork to spice things up much as you would call up a pizza delivery service or the art association invoice for germany decided to give that model a try. because of voice would you send both one before to post and if you see to go you're taking telephone orders at least for auto wolfsburg 1st delivery service for the name is a play on a popular german takeout delivery company used in hoffman as head of the wolfsburg

ought to association he has a passion for helping people get better acquainted with modern art which isn't easy at the moment. for the school if it is it has can't come to us at the moment maybe it would be good if we brought the art to them and of course we were inspired by astronomy by restaurants that set up new delivery services in the pandemic and we thought maybe we could do something similar. the delivery service concept has started off well. normally the arts o.c.a. should only sells a few pieces a year but so far this year they've already sold 12 on the day we visited that already been an order. this work by artist femi has just been sold. into should look there really is a range of different things it's on offer you know within the visual arts all different styles figurative and abstract but also objects graphic arts photography

i think that's something for everyone. to go feed on it's a feeling forced to buy. affordable prices ranging from $50.00 to $500.00 euros a meant to what people's appetites for art the arts association offer some $200.00 works to choose from and the delivery service is available to buyers in and around the central german cities of wolfsburg and braunschweig. the boss himself personally brings the freshly packed with no delivery fees we're. going to do that. and also members can get special editions by artists at a discounted price it's a way for people to have a little taste of art until germany's museums reopen and they can get their fill.

just imagine calling out for a picasso for a little change of scenery well that brings us to the end of this edition of arts and culture so until it's time all the best from the wintry berlin.
