yes you know i mean in your minority. group or mostly done. what an organizer an operative term. seriously. but our current going on what they're doing fronted. this is student news africa on the program today 19 in nigeria the country center for disease control saying he's a vaccine is important now more than ever this officer is serving that the infection rate could be exponentially higher and what's been officially reported. and a life of fear and isolation that's reality for people in gaza is community will learn why their society is struggling to accept it.

hello it's good to have your company the findings of a new report suggests that the covert 19 infection rate in nigeria is much higher than has been reported in national figures the study of antibodies conducted by the country's center for disease control revealed that as much as 23 percent or one in 5 people in lagos state alone had been infected by the time that the survey was done and that was last september and october about what amount to fall 1000000 people again just in lagos and now officially nigeria has reported just on the 153900 cases the c.d.c. noted that a majority of people infected don't show symptoms and would not have been tested. and. joins me now from lagos good to see french tell us mall but what was revealed

in this report. well in the reports the reports review that up to one out of 5 people even illegals has had a virus now the nigeria center for disease control and the manger institute for medical research conducted this research and they sampled 10000 blood samples from 10000 households across nigeria from the north the south east and the west and the results came in proving that the reason. the initially reported cases of corn are virus do not fully you know review the extant of the pandemic in nigeria so you can imagine up to one in 5 people illegals and they got in africa as biggest city it's also reviewed that more men have been infected by the virus and people in cities

more people cities than rural rural areas have been infected by the virus speaking of the vaccine when is the rollout expected to start in nigeria. well we were told that the vaccines will begin to our right and you know february what i spoke to the head of the center for disease control last week and he said that there is no nobody knows exactly when they do not know exactly when the vaccine will in nigeria so while all of that countries are having almost the entire population being vaccinated. even have an idea when the 1st set of oxys without right but the government plans to vaccinate or to 40 percent of the population by the end of the see and if you vaccines do and i arrive by the end of february they're going to be behind schedule. how does the government manage the pandemic

is the public in support of the nigerian government if it's. ok at the beginning of the pandemic in a lot of people felt like this a virus like the government over reacted by calling for the lockdown and all of that well right now many people now know that the virus exists because if you speak to people outside many people know someone everyone knows someone that knows someone that has. died from unfortunately died from coronary virus or has been effected by kuhn our virus so we do know people are aware that the virus is out there but then there is the level of there's a high level of mistrust from the government of course because of. the corruption that has been the manger for such a long time because of several cases over government officials seem to be 19 pylea it seems you know so many things many issues that make people really distrust the government so i think that in general the nigerian. people have not really been the

support of the government. in fighting the pandemic right that stephenie is reporting to us forests in lagos thank you for. an extraordinary isn't gonna wait bishops of the catholic church all pressing the government to crack down on the gay community the move by the church leaders is in retaliation to a so-called l g p t workspace in the capital accra now the matter has surfaced the discussion about homosexuality in the country prompting a number of public officials to side with the bishops in a moment i'll be talking to an activist but 1st we met a gay man in ghana who opened up to us about how its life has changed since he came out. is openly gay and he lives in this apartment alone in a crowd away from his family he had to relocate after coming out as gay in 2 inches

17 that decision hasn't been easy he says since most of his relations because his sexuality and lifestyle complaining of constant threats of attacks are fears for his life. that the mere fact. that somebody points with nicky could actually need to mean being ranged. in. a meeting you know. any of that of experience that i go through anything just me alone but i think people who identify a huge presence in ghana also true to my experiences according to their rights group right not rights i think 40 percent of. the community peasants have suffered at tots don't grace worried about the level of hatred for people based on their

sexual orientation it is unfortunate that some. would treat differently because. it made them feel like if they can't laugh at the. right it is unfortunate so it is not. who is purported india mind to discuss need to perform and for the go ahead to abuse involved in the. same sex relationships or not spend metered by law in ghana companies against the l g b t movement see this won't change anytime soon due to gun a scorcher oh i'm truly just moments. we will bid the rules that govern the states that will leave and for that mata if you ask me personally i abide by the rules or regulations of the country. so i am for that government to

say what the laws are saying what a traditional believers are saying and one of christian courts say gazing on lesbianism or what about it correlates. to for i believe that the. and we will recognize the. 100 that's a common view on the streets of our crime and elsewhere in the country. they don't. cite sucked because i think it's for outs. or non oral traditions it's. hard to call it. is something that we do grew up with it is not an african we are not into this alliance there is no good multinational to dis and it is a taboo so we don't need to feel it we don't need it and others like him and to

relate in. the rights activists also mobilizes like minded people to discuss issues affecting them and to 2nd solutions. that we could few new layers of carney and we need to talk about this with a community and we need to live with the proper authorities to make sure that. the have been put into we were removed from day don't go is hoping for acceptance within the game in society suna but that's hope appears from a distance for now and to talk more of this we've invited the team of derby onto the program she's an activist advocating for the acceptance of people and got a welcome city to every news africa. people in the community i'm gonna have to live in fear. elegy busy people in ghana are often faced with violence

people experience physical assault people experience physical and sexual harassment people experience with miscommunication people experience public humiliation in their streets in marketplaces if you are perceived to be queerer in some way or perceived to be a member of the community or if you open your identifying exposed to all kinds of attacks sometimes from individuals in your community sometimes from the media or sometimes from religious bodies and all of that so there's really a lot of people who experience many people having to live in fear of many people having to live in the closet right because even from within your own immediate family people are often displaced from home people are also experiencing physical violence in their own homes people are having to be sent to churches vision therapy to be cured tarski before we proceed to the point that you're going to make i just

want to ask you what do you believe is the reason people in ghana are so intolerant of the gay community. i think the most prominent reason that i would like to side is religion and current leaders and there's an organization called the national give me a minute the national coalition for human rights in family values and it's a coalition that has been that is made up all for the ghana christian console the catholic secretary at the catholic bishops conference they've got not pentecostal and charismatic council as well as the muslim community in traditionally this so it's quite is a big organization and i think that that's like the major organization. in canada and some of the talking points that this organizations including the religious organizations and put forward is to say that homosexuality is

a sin and it's an abomination and that if the people of ghana with 2 acceptance you know us as a legality they're going here or they're wroth gorge and the country is going to be destroyed and the country is going to do for you to really like from the bible and so because because of that fear that has been you still don't people people also feel like you know it's right it's in their own once they don't want to be down you know by by supreme. intolerance of of their community in ghana all right that's a team of speaking to us from accra thank you for. and that's it for now so they. on our dot com africa page on facebook and on twitter at today we'll leave you with. the algae b t community across the continent of africa will see you next time.

every journey begins with the 1st step and every language the 1st word i'm going to be coaxing germany to. why not. in simple line on your mobile and free. music you learning course. german. if. it's not easy to go to another country you know nothing about i don't do this because we

can't stay in venezuela. that. closely global news that matters d. w. made for mines. that's get lucky a mega hit all over the planet for french jews who decided to call it a day after 28 years more on that in a minute also coming up today. recently discovered letters written by adults they give new insights into the dictator's upbringing and his character. understated unfunctional 2 words essential and stefan dietz's award winning design

. but we begin with the news that french electronics are going their separate ways you most probably wouldn't recognize them as they chose to wear robotic headgear for most of their careers you've seen indeed the way they said goodbye was a typical doffed punk fashion in this video. they were very reclusive ready giving interviews but they are without one of the most influential in don'ts music history makes a funk disco techno and synthpop they have hits all over the world. and a big fan of doff tongue is my colleague mark a crew guy. who you go to the dogs to read the future. and the music is still alive and will be for ever same with all the other legendary bangs like this hit

for example no party without this song it's from the 1st album and $997.00 from home well. yes and nearly every song on this legendary album was an international hit and 28 years of their career they only make 4 albums and everyone each one was a huge success i guess. and by the way no reason given for the split the management hasn't released any information about that they are of course religious and speculations and if you look at the b.t.o. epilogue which is really 8 minutes long. you see the 2 of them walking one stops and the other one is going on keeps walking and maybe one wanted

to continue the work of the other maybe but we have really no idea. what is all this business behind the helmets and not showing their faces i think it's more than just a marketing thing because the 2 have known each other for. 4 years they know each since the high school and both were fans of the film phantom of the paradise fun $974.00 directed by brian de palma here we see the the book the boy is so young and one of the characters in this film wears a helmet all the time and there's also kind of a history using alter egos in electronic music like with idol to come back for example and another very good reason is just to keep your identity secret and then 10 your privacy. ok it's rare that french bands

have an international career but for instance got lucky was a top 10 hit in $32.00 countries so how come they got so popular worldwide but when you think of their beginnings they started and paris in the ninety's and this was really hot spot for house music and they took a music that already exist and make it just into they turned it into perfection the album granted access memories from 2013 was the most successful one with the single get lucky it won for grammy awards and they have legendary collaborations with pro williams as night watches was responsible for this disco touch being ok krueger you'll still be able to keep your dancing shoes on thanks absolutely with this today. a new book by austrian historian a woman sun group gave a rare glimpse into adult upbringing it's based on that as

a quad after they were found in an attic letters written by hitler's father in law as to a builder after he bought a farm in austria shows how it was self-taught how he was smug and very much overestimated his abilities qualities that he definitely passed on to his son. for his story and romance and gruber the contents of this envelope are 8 dream the letters were discovered during a cleanup and were made available to him. the letters from out of hitler's father are loisa provide the basis for a book about the dictator's father the signatures of a lawyer and i dove in a straight the strong influence of father on son and the contents of the letters also show similarities in character the father born out of wedlock was successful as an austrian customs officer also brutal and highly self opinionated as

the real thing that illustrates how the son was molded by his father is certainly the autodidactic education to the father hand which he was infinitely proud of and which led him to hold over those who had regular schooling in contempt this is true of i drove him to others. and the son also thought of himself as a genius that's as a testimony to alloys an immense feeling of superiority and lack of feeling for others. he was also harsh towards i know all these reports that say he wouldn't whistle at him like a dog home and. show genocide war and destruction and of hitler is responsible for this. signed gruber has uncovered more primary sources in and around lentz this is where he believes hitler formed the way of thinking and acting that would have terrible consequences and it's was already

a german nationalist stronghold in hitler's youth the wild celebrations here of austria is an excise and by germany in 1938 the young was already anti semitic signed says it was rife in the customs service with alloys worked. hitler though hated the civil service he wanted to suppress his father and rebelled against the life he was expected to lead in that time most rebellions were to the right now you move even further to the right if the father was a german nationalist like hitler's then the son becomes an anti semites. and this if. it was family lived on this farm for just 2 years they moved 18 times father and son were restless and without ties according to sound creba. only briefly attended this simple village school far from the influences of a sound group one more small part of the young early life part of the parcel of his

murderous descent into moral ruin. good design has to be elegant beautiful even but for it to be successful it also has to be functional and in the case of say a chair it should be comfortable to design a star hyundai manages to tick all these boxes or more with his designs and that's why they are source after why stablished names like tonette rozental and many many more. colorful minimalistic and clever optics designed by munich stefan dietz range from lamps to furniture to table where . else they have one thing in common understated functionality. good design has a lot to do with acrobatics

a good ass or bad can manage to make things look elegant even if they're very complex or complex and. his newest design is a floor lamp that functions without joints instead to move all clips attached to an electrical cord and now the fiberglass rod to be adjusted to position the lamp is made of mostly recycled materials and can be disassembled without the use of tools it one definite date the german sustainability award for 2021. we made i know it's lamp here almost 5 metres high we came up with this concept a flexible rod with a super lightweight shade attached and we tried to push it to the extreme. so we can put the lamp in a corner and illuminated dinner table almost 3 metres away. at the floor level to manufacture a myth god is based on that well known model type 113

a desk lamp designed from 1923 it was one of the 1st serially produced adjustable lamps. products that were last manufactured for the companies or bauhaus designs which were very mechanical with this background my idea was to do the exact opposite that they had to be something that was kind of the antithesis of this 1920 s. mechanics which is a methodical that's once you got it. creating a contemporary form from traditional design designed to bend to a chair in 2007 employing a process that uses steam to bend toward the peonies torn it brothers company does . i'm history with that coffeehouse chair inventing the technique in the middle of the 19th century. deeps further developed the bent toward method for his contemporary chair designs. he also combines industrial assembly with design in 2011 the chelsea office chair he designed for

the german manufacturer of income which released its uses materials for undercarriage uncomforting production in the auto industry and was awarded the prestigious red dot design award the development took 4 years so that we can of course you can't just walk up to b.m.w. or mercedes and say let's make a chair some designer they don't know approaches them with an idea and of course the company wants to know if they should invest in the project so for me a lot of time goes into this kind of research into finding a partner who wants to work on the project where the element of craft is not foreign to do before studying industrial design he completed an apprenticeship as a carpenter today in his munich studio together with for product design as he develops designs that offered used by such prestigious labels as mobile also or even 15. and i think design is primarily about a light touch even if you're in bishan for a project or a project is immense you can't let the imbue the process with havingness. if that's

what has a lot to do with humor and you have to succeed in taking a playful approach. like through which is that dietz has already designed around 50 products he likes to think outside the box and meanwhile has become one of the most important german designers working today his most recent project is a modulus sofa system the slick covers can be changed quickly and easily proving that stefan dietz now a flexible and sustainable approach to design never goes out of style. it certainly doesn't maul arts and culture stories on our website at v.w. dot com slash culture m l i recommend g d w classical and b.w. books all new choose as well there's loads of good stuff that up worth checking out indeed so for now though thanks ever so much for watching i'm from ourself and all
