2 children to come to this. one giant problem and a miracle in no mood to see. if i mean anything legally changing the movie in a free economy. how will climate change affect us and our children my . e.w. dot com slash water. this is the w.'s africa coming up in the program the struggle for who with 19 vaccines by j.s. gains in containing the 2nd wave of the colon of virus feces setback because the country has not yet secured any vaccines. and while many african countries eagerly a week's vaccines for one brought the director of the africa c.d.c.

tells us that honest truth that interview that. you can't get enough to take a step back i'm really amazed that we must develop our own money fracturing over these scenes of the european diagnostics. i am eddie michael jr welcome to the program the battle against covert 19 continues across africa so it's particularly good news when the continent's most populous city lagos is slowly recovering from the 2nd wave but even though nigerian authorities say the number of known infections is decreasing our correspondent there. tells us there's no guarantee this will continue because the country is still far from securing a nickel the 19 vaccine doses. welcome back so i can now. share in.

$1000.00 xperience on duty she contracted the virus here in nigeria after returning from the u.k. ruggedness was with you and the doctor made a call it didn't see how kiss was this but every time a would be. how will she do it i don't want proof or you was case became critical because of her underlying even less asthma she says she visited 4 hospitals in 22 before she started to get better we are given access to one of the government run isolation centers in lagos treatment in this hospital is subsidized by the government it's run by a team of volunteer doctors and nurses only people in critical condition i admitted here or there is a saint whom to self isolates and treats themselves most of the beds that empty. off the shelf egos of confirmed khulna virus cases have been decreased since is the

2nd wave in january but the numbers may not truly represent the extant of the pandemic in one geria we know this is their own estimates of the true burden but almost. getting better. every hospital will really be a good reflection of the burdens to the community and the world know that it is the border because the turkey is going to cover it but a true. as a result of misinformation and lack of trust in nigeria as government and health care system many people are not even willing to get tested a hospital. the government says. it's a good size. health experts

say that the only way to completely prevent a major outbreak in the country is through vaccines but getting a hold of the drugs has been proving difficult the government's constant vaccinates up to 40 percent of the nigerian population on the end of this year but it's still unclear when the 1st set of boxes will ride. dr cheek which is the head of nigeria's center for disease control he says nigeria is walking to. the his country is also prepared for the largest challenges less user friendly vaccines. i think even more important with the human resource of the capacity. you know things like sustaining the power supply getting the vaccine from the cities to the villages and this is where we really have

a lot of experience on some of those vaccines i believe that the film health experts want that range 0 as must take coffee to cautious more seriously you know that to prevent the fed with something that monjack and the country's health care system cannot afford. joining me now is dr john in kind he's a director of the africa center for disease control and prevention and ideas about bite you'll hear thanks for your time 1st tell us how can the c.d.c. make sure that africa gets its fast shall vaccines no thank you i think that is. maybe the most urgent question we're working on now and turns to the continent. when she caught you record it 3 weeks ago or 4 weeks ago. announced that through the african vaccine acquisition testing the continent was

going to. have secured 270000000 doses of vaccines and since then what i do see 7 secure setting us for next week distribution of those actions will be and across the member states of the african union so i think we are working very had. just escaped same time we have a line and remain optimistic that that facility will also contribute to cease have told us that about 27 percent of the doses we've made available to to the country and begin slowly will begin to move towards a target of 60 percent of our population between this year and next year. so it seems while that selling says as deciding on which vaccines are good enough to use because we pay their reports and how we had that nigeria is trying to acquire the astra zeneca vaccines but south africa suspended the use of the same vaccine so

what do you recommend. so 1st of all let's celebrate the good news the good news is that we have vaccines out there now i mean it's a couple of us inside out there that have been proven to be bought safe and if you cautious that is extremely good news i say that because. just the situation could have been was i mean we've lived with hiv for more than 40 years without the about seeing so much in that let's pause and still a bit of good news now the question of choice of vaccine is important we've all heard and learned about the news the challenge in situation that a new very end in south africa poses to. keep less of their stress than a couple acts and we have issued clear guidelines to the country and we see one if a country has an extensive spread of the varian then it is preferred not to start use in yesterday as president of vaccine to use other vaccines bit 2nd if

we don't have evidence of the extensive spread of that variant to go ahead and use it i think nigeria should definitely be using that vaccine and again as i said many other countries in africa should be doing the same events in is save the vaccine if you keisha what was t. don't know is what it is effective against the very end in south africa just because the study that was published in reviewed in south africa was based on a limited sump ok what do you say city of najaf the kind who is hoping for the end of this pandemic. if 2 things are safe to. africa and one is that we have to to see to fight despondent me ok we have been able to bend the curve to ease in these since last year the peak africa experience the peak of the fs we have of the planet meet i don't july august last year and we are able to bring down the

very very nicely. then the 2nd piece december after they will it is and we are now seeing that excuse me that we have been indicative. nicely using probably had measures i think that is one we. did and we were one year ago ok to fight his plan in the 2nd thing is that vaccines come in bed i want to really. caution their countrymen that the measures they probably had measures that have enabled us to be where we are today that is when of must avoiding crowded species species but indoor and outdoor washing of hands and make sure the community is fully engaged is very important to me just worked beside it measures that have enabled us to be where we are today vaccines mean a zone of travel 60 percent of our population would take time. we have actively

engaged in that process of acquiring vaccines for the continent now while the continent is dealing with a covert 1000 pandemic that's another fire allows for as back again in the house and do you know what several that in both countries are already recorded how concerned should we be we should all be very concerned because of this various is that tend to spread very quickly decide various is that spread through contacts and we said he street of what happened in 20142016 is too very fresh in our minds especially with respect to the west africa situation however let me just say it is that we know how to fight it. now than it was 4 or 5 years ago because we have 2 vaccines out there we have treatment monoclonal antibodies that can be used in it yet of respond and we have people are deployed i mean and we've learned lessons that you don't reason that depend on the outbreak in west africa

was so devastating was that it. so long to recognize that there was something going on and mobilize and mount an effective response as we speak we already have people mobilized and they're moving towards that yet of response already so i think we should be concerned but it's not in no absolutely no reason to to panic we are working closely with. other partners to address this situation ok no reason to panic that's good news now even talking about covert 19 and ebola but i got in solutions how far as africa in developing its own vaccines to tackle any such diseases now and then you have. that is a very good question and i think africa has to be very deliberate in developing continental approach to fast lifted look up production of vaccines drugs and and

then i'll sticks. it country of 1200000000 people cannot depend on next to no support order time to fight a pandemic flu outbreaks want i want to be very clear that we live in and it off by mimic ok or outbreaks and it will continue to occur i mean we are dealing with this clearly we are going to defeat this pandemic but there will be another pandemic city a country and has to take a step back and really recall amazed that we must develop manufacturing of these vaccines. p. and the gnostics the past days richard in senegal it's already been a factor in vaccines against you the fever south africans have manufacturing facilities egypt so he started a continent doesn't have a but we need to really be very deliberate and support those infrastructure in the continental manner that is that ok resources appropriate source is to develop those important to us ok dr john not intend i saw the director of the africa centers for

disease control and prevention thank you very much for your insights. and on dopamine that africa should develop its own vaccines we end today's show we need you with pictures from the few african countries like our richest so sales on egypt that have started over 19 lot of programs and so the next time you say. i'm scared that the volume or that's hard and in the end is a me you're not allowed to stay here anymore we will send you that. are you familiar with this. with the smugglers with lions and. what's your story

ready. i'm working i was a women especially in victims of violence. take part and send us your story we are trying always to understand this new culture. another visitor not a guest you want to become a citizen. in for migrants your platform for reliable information. a pop star and a military coup singer make use of a bus speaks out from his home in me and more coming up on arts and culture and young german and jewish actor alec sound a very much stands for a new generation of jews in germany who are tired of being seen as victims.

and more than meets the eye in the shape shifting paintings of british artist patrick. but 1st since me and mars military coup earlier this month hundreds of thousands of people have been protesting for democracy and the release of the country's elected leader aung san suu kyi among the crowds of young demonstrators a 28 year old german pop star musician and actor. has lived in myanmar since 2015 and has become somewhat of a celebrity there appearing in films and fashion ads as well as singing in english and for means. in the. earlier i spoke to me at his home in the capital gang gone about how he as a foreign

a pop star in me and maher has been supporting protests against the military well i have to show my colors i support the people by going on street by posting 30 think the facebook and bustle of these of course sharing that you and getting interviewed international media. i have to take care i have to watch out a little bit as i have quite a media presence that i want to get to and politically i won't make dangerous statements that could lead to my arrest or anything because of course i'm also in the spotlight of the media but. yeah i. do a show my support and i also let people know that well let's see how our artists in myanmar handling their career what does it mean for them. i guess since it's already going on for over a year people were already used to a preexisting condition that people couldn't shoot. but now of course i think.

that i know on the street not only i could but also like big top tier celebrities to show their support and. because people. see that even those kind of people are on their side and everybody. but you see i just on the street playing you doing. doing you know you have painted musicians and basically everybody on the street at a very unique protest because you don't see. it all fighting against each other every. basically every every person is. together on the street and i think by the same reason you know i do understand that at night time the situation is good time served particularly when the military cuts off the internet what has nighttime been like for you in the area where you have.

frankly it's been very spooky since tonight night and the night before we had internet. we couldn't even. and i think we had a lot i mean here in the neighborhood we have a neighborhood watch you might know there were 20. in there to have been released and they have been doing i think that it was done by a poisoning water stabbing people so the people that are going to i don't think they're being contracted by military by police but they they say and not to know what's going on but before what you think you need to imagine you are in the country and. everybody recording things like that you can you can watch online now people are. doing arrest and touch or interrogating. from a prison and touch and now because it is a way that we have to try to stay calm and pray that we don't hear any alarm sound

then we can. write and i know that the internet and particularly facebook play a really big role over there do you see yourself staying in myanmar now do you think that you can stay. i think i have to be prepared for all scenarios so i have to pack my back in any case and. from there it could be that my feet that won't be approved. the light quality you just have to leave or whatever. if i leave. ok for me i mean it's just i am so many people i love to get up the country i love people i don't want them to wake up and. actually because everybody is combine and people are suffering it's just unfair and not. completely human rights restrictions. mention that people will wake up in a peaceful country again and what might happen. not relevant for me i can come back

at some point if i'm not blacklisted. because favre thanks so much for talking to us and please stay safe. well here in germany celebrations are about to begin to mark 1700 years of jewish history dating back to the 1st recorded evidence of jewish life in germany in the year 321 and then author of the occasion we're meeting jewish artists and leaders in cities across germany today actor alexandre very up on his debut film mazeltov cocktail a struck a chord with young jewish viewers here it's a comedy about anti-semitism. alexander that man is a good example of the new jewish generation he's young cosmopolitan and confident we meet up with the son of russian immigrants in berlin where he's just finished his acting studies. thing with me is i didn't even really know that i was jewish it was not a big deal in our family courses thing. nothing much to me at all and she was even

a swear word i even used to use it myself this way a lot in primary school and high school i'm sure. it's just really think about this . and that means acting debut takes a stand against anti semitism. that . gets. us to. an end to a culture of remembrance that ignores the problems of today. constantly i just don't feel that i can accept the situation anymore or anti semitism is on the rise it's real and it's happening here as a jew in germany i just can't say everything's cool and i feel good at a situation that. i was only as a teenage that we haven't really discovered his jewishness who is also joining this

time that he became a star member of the local youth theatre if you're going to apply to see people take a clear position it but for them to also take action. today being jewish is a big part of the actor's identity sometimes is more and sometimes less active than you synagogue in iranian bogus traffic lane really consecrated in 1990 s. it stands as a symbol for a lively jewish community. rabbi the bag she's one of and i 9 fame our rabbis germany wide her synagogue stands for diversity and tolerance as well as confronting the issues of the day. we like to call ourselves l g b t i q stright inclusive which doesn't mean this is us in queens people are now welcome here but of course they are welcome here and have been so for a long time. to back study jewish theology and converted to judaism 30 years ago. she was fascinated by religion which allows room for maneuver in

terms of faith and lifestyle. q.j. is a most always been a religion that changed with the times and has asked the question how does what our ancestors handed down to is fit with today's times where do we need to attach and where is to important to keep things the same. a balancing act between looking to the future and preserving the past. and event man also wants to move forward. so he's leaving barely envy his 1st acting engagement at the renowned season the shush to hospital home. to choose leaving engine mini van men humps a bottle that i wish that people wouldn't see as a strange will an alien treatises though something special is not just one way of being jewish it's actually incredibly divinest up if you hate to hear.

and we'll have interviews with more jewish artists and leaders in germany coming up this week on arts and culture but now we're off to london to the studio of painter patrick hughes he's got his own unique perspective on the world or should i say perspective. i. like to close in is on 3 dimensional surfaces. they play with trumpets or its own perspectives to trick the ear into seeing what's not really there. british artist patrick hughes calls this reverse specter for reverse perspective the painter developed the technique itself . it's extraordinary because it uses you to create the movement

there are artists who make the move through the machines inside but my work makes it work by having you move on the painting seemed to him and. he's got a team of 6 to support him in his london studio the actual creation is a very involved process. it can take up to 3 months to complete one image. the 1st step is to build a 3 dimensional base out of wood. then patrick you sketches out his ideas. music. puter to project his designs onto the canvas then he and his team paint the pictures and orioles ceausescu's likes to reference the work of other artists we choose banksy pauli because people like him and i quite like i'm not mad about it i quite like his. logic goes there wools though any

graffiti office would prefer to work in a concrete but we like to make out the brick pools. patrick hughes created his 1st reverse effective picture in $964.00 and called it sticking around. but not until the 1990 s. he set himself to perfect his painting technique. the work titled jazz from 26 teams made him famous. is physical it's a combination of the whole person is what you feed and your knees and your legs your body your stomach closer as well as your own so although of course being an intellectual and soul is all in the mind it's actually all in the mind and the goal . the more perfect feel lucian for more complete the experience patrick hughes creates fascinating perspectives on our world.

well that's almost it for this arts and culture so thanks for watching and i'll leave you now with a global pop icon multiple grammy winner multimillionaire and birthday boy ed sheeran is turning 33 next time. when your hurts don't look like they used to be full. and our cars sweep you off of your feet. will your mouth soon member the taste of men. will your eyes still see.
