the u.s. is on its way to bring you more conservation. down to me big city street. how can we protect capital. with the difference in. the warning to the environmental series of illegal street cars and on to double normal. this is state of the news africa coming up on the program the political deadlock in somebody the country is now facing a constitutional crisis up to failing to hold elections this and i'm side of 5 it is not just insurgency a locust impatience and serious food shortages. and we'll meet south africa's spinach cane is trying to get people to ditch junk food and eat more often leafy green.

hello i'm christine one day it's good to have your company so malia is facing a leadership crisis to president mohamed up to the high mohammed's 1st term in office ended with no clear path toward elections on monday and the alliance of. if they would no longer recognize president mahmoud of divided homage the u.n. security council meets to discuss somebody has been a civil crisis now the country was supposed to hold an election by monday but the favorite a deadline was missed as the central government and federal states all pulled over how to conduct the foot's. there is a tense atmosphere in the country people in the capital mogadishu told us they all 5th all of what could happen. the theater 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. we need peace and stability in this country. and if. i go out of my will but. we don't want to destruction to happen in the country we want a fair election to be heralds of. the mommy want both the opposition and the current government to work together for the good of the country we are looking at it again just like the. garden road few were ever going to say if the politicians don't come to an understanding. it could lead to rule the destruction of europe and the rising crime. and i am now joined by abdulaziz below he's

a journalist in somalia's capital mogadishu good to have you on the program. why all of the it is in somalia failing to agree on how to conduct the election. there's number of setbacks that as a 1000000 readers are in now facing our one of which is the election because it answers 5 little states to election venues i've been designated for elections to take place and that does not apply in the original state of jubal and that is the one that shows the border with neighboring kenya and federal authorities out of the view that jubilant elections will only take place in there and they're going to have a but they're going to have it is not under the control of that regional state of jubal and 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 cost their election a delay and it's the $1.00 that made the talks that are taking place over and over

again to carbs and last hour fridays are there's also another setback that is there lection of lawmakers from somaliland regent was supposed to their actions supposed to take place in mogadishu but is a normal can isn't in place yet ready on how these elections will take place and ranks of the issue of the composition of the electoral commission because regional states are adding that it is made up of the president's allies and it might still get there 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 some of the election is eventually held is this likely to happen. well that is the opposition now demands issued an ultimatum saying that the president will allow power to this transitional national council it does not have been formed or already is and including the president in these address recently to parliament said that

talks can still take place between regional uncleared leaders who did not true a lot that cannot happen. and are skeptical saying that the current president mohammed up to life at my door 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 family 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 we're expecting our talks to continue in the next coming weeks according to authorities right and we know that president mohammed abdul you was running for a 2nd term what was his 1st term like and what do you possibly have won reelection

with with major public support. exactly as you've mentioned 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 of so many people aqua young for leadership but over the years things didn't turn out as the smiley 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 but then again in terms of economic reforms financial progress the rebuilding of the somali security at architecture all these are some of these strong points and these are some of the issues that is going to raise in his campaign are in the upcoming elections so many people still yes and young for his

leadership so that is it is a 2nd but then there's the biggest challenge now that needs to be over that's their election that's abdullah said in our talking to us from a good teacher 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. brains or floors he said emergency work 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 epidemic as soon as possible. dozens of supporters of city opposition faith last months will have clashed with police in the capital duck call off the woman accused the politician all 3 offices fired tear gas to disperse to demonstrate his so-called deny the allegations and accuse president barchi saal of try to end his political career. now the guy you see behind me is not in his community as the spinach king that's because. it is on a mission to start a health revolution in south africa's townships using in the green vegetable tree and create schmidt's him in cape town. party time in the philippi township there celebrating the opening of

a new spinach store. for its founder has joined the festivities welcome to the finish being a healthy food they could come face to process in company we make sure that the veggies are not just eaten is the also the incorporated in this temple over here with quite the spinach infusion of smoothie idea for the spinach king can appear consist of no preteen in. her teen low in carbs knowing sugar is no i in. 10 years ago and on john i started his business on the back of it to your investment big finish bread and his neighbors of it since then he has that in the 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 challenge ship over there you see the railway station on the right next to it's the spinach 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 or breads made from the leafy green are still seen as rather unusual. i think it's empty because of the influence because i was over sea ice as people look at me to school in so safety we don't treat those sites eating healthy like that so we still had that team so let me offer. you can we know for you to go for guys in all this. i'm through to understand. the residents of the philippi township garbage more furious listening to

a talk on the benefits and cultivation of a state of no looking yeah yeah i just hit the delete key so we need to consider how it is to once a week to be spared. because you don't know that we do this is our face time to if that's what's going to taste the food taste so to dishes it can be very good because if you get it it's all me i everything that's nice i mean i'm a ship on sound but down the slope by standish had to taste it in this movie special this movie amazing amazing is also how the spin is being described as the future of his business and feels the demand for oil field productions is growing globally. we are actually planning on the fusing brain cheese all over the country and then also selling the lot of franchises to contraries such as germany countries like france countries in europe where we can.

you know monday or fall of the manufacturing rights as well as the distributorship rights or right now we have a franchise and. so that franchise in arms to don is doing well because we believe what you do is should be solving a problem that is not only south african based but is that global issue of unhealthy eating every 2nd south african is overweight the spinach being ones to help change that statistic for the better. and that is it for now at the stories on t.v. dot com forward slash africa we're also on facebook and on twitter and it's always interested to hear what you think about the stories we have on the program and the stories that we should be so they will leave you with pictures of every day in somalia there are growing fears the political crisis could result in conflicts. the breaking out this sop to the country failed told at election on monday as had been agreed with you next time back.

i'm sure that of us are. in support of. what's a bit. silly about. every journey begins with the 1st step and every minute the 1st word of. the coaxing germany sure. why not.

it's simple on your mobile and free. w. zealand in course. terms mean. beatlemania is a phenomenon that got started 60 years ago in liverpool. and we'll go back to its birthplace and look at how the fab 4 are still a major influence to this day and also coming up. the visit the world class glass studios in bavaria that have been making ornamental stained glass windows for

churches since 887. and if you can't go up to look at some arch why not order some if 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 the boundless 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 the stage beatle mania still attracts visitors to

liverpool at least when there's no pandemic this footage is from the summer of 2018 when we met with kevin mcmanus head of city of music liverpool you know scott 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 though this time later the beatles are still massively important to the liverpool economy blasted i think is it was with over 80000000 so the 60000000 pounds is 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 phrase. 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. and 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 hi scott. 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. yeah of course humble or having the northern. city of germany

that is where in the reeperbahn the red light district the beatles 1st performed under that name the band 1st performed in 1960 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 that is where the beatles became the beatles ok so they were now now the beatles fans have a lot to look forward to this year as filmmaker peter jackson with finishing up a new documentary on the fab 4 tell us something about. 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 what's amazing is just the like 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 footage 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 the why are they so important and how would you describe their influence musically. 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 britpop group which was 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 normally expect and 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. the band leader of nirvana said he based his songwriting very closely on that of paul and john. the psychedelic band the flaming lips a little while ago you know they did a very mix of sergeant pepper's album the the baby dolls album so you see the influence of the beatles really continues to this day they basically revolutionized pop 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 well then perhaps you'll have spared a thought for the work that goes into them stained glass like that has been enhancing the beauty of sacred spaces 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 good stuff on take has worked with glass here in new nick the studio has been renowned for its stained glass church windows since 887. 9 and designer cut here zucker church took over operations in 2015 from a member of the founding fund take 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

a hard hat with us the studio was making 31 more windows for the abbey based on designs by afghan artist max. it takes an average of about one month to make one of the 9 metre tall windows each depicts 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. to 48 vantage and that is our broad group of customers or in principle anyone can buy this for their whole lives that we can attract more

customers that way and experiment with. 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. concern both lucas and both were on the phone to postpone if you see to go you're taking telephone orders at least for auto 1st delivery service for the name is a play on a popular german takeout delivery company used in hoffman as head of the wolfsburg

auto association he has a passion for helping people get better acquainted with modern art which isn't easy at the moment. the school if it is it has can't come to us at the moment maybe it would be good if we brought the arts of 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 association 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 cindy into should lease there really is a range of different things 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 syfy divorce to buy. affordable prices ranging from 50 to 500 euros a meant to whet people's appetites for art the arts association office some 200 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. reader. and author 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 or

profitable. just imagine calling out for a picasso for a little change of scenery all that brings us to the end of this edition of arts and culture so until it's time all the best from wintry berlin. if you don't think . it.
