what different. women are in charge. archipelago is a patriarchal system for centuries. of society do the women differently. what do they do with their power. starts marching on. this is t w news africa on the program today 19th in nigeria the country center for disease control say's a vaccine is important now more than ever this officer is serving that the infection ration 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. it's good to have your company the findings of a new report suggests that the 19 infection rates 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 standing that was last september and october about what amount to fall 1000000 people again just in lagos and now officially nigeria has reported just under 153900 cases the c.d.c.

noted that a majority of people infected don't show symptoms and would not have been tested. and one in french joins me now from lagos good to see french tell us mall about what was revealed in this report. well in the reports the reports review that one out of 5 people 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 course virus do not fully you know review the extant of the pandemic so you can imagine up to one in 5 people goes and they got in africa as we go against c.t.

it's also reviewed that more men have been infected by the virus and people see thousands more people cities than rural areas have been infected by the virus speaking of feedback seen when is the rollout expected to start in nigeria. well we were told that the vaccines will begin to. end you know february what i spoke to the head of the major 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 is in nigeria so while all of that countries are having almost the entire population being vaccinated and even have an idea when the 1st set of oxys were right but the government plans to vaccinate or to 40 percent of the population by

the end of the sierra and if you vaccines do and i arrive by the end of february they're going to be behind in their 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 a lot of people felt like this the virus that the government overreacted right 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 corner virus so we do know people are where 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 in danger for such a long time because of several cases over government officials seem 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. the pandemic alright that steve 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. workspace in the capital accra 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 have a gay man who opened up to us about how his life has changed since he came out.

openly gave their lives in this apartment alone in a craft away from his family he had to relocate after coming out as gay into empty 17 that decision hasn't been easy he says since most of his relations who oppose his sexuality and lifestyle complaining of constant threats of attacks don't go now fears for his life. because the mere fact that somebody point 3 got behind this with me that he could actually need to mean being ranged. in. thought. that you know. any youth but of experience that i go through and it's not just me alone but i'm people who identify a huge presence in ghana also who true to my experience with according to rights

groups why not rights i think is 40 percent of. the community persons have suffered at tots don't raise worried about the level of hatred for people based on their sexual orientation it is unfortunate that some guy would treat them differently because of death actually. and it made him feel like a 2nd class of. it is unfortunate so it is not. who is purported in the a mind to destroy anything to be to piss and for them who hated to abuse involving. same sex relationships and not spend metered by law in gonna complain as against the l g b t movement see this won't change anytime soon due to gonna scorcher oh i'm truly just moments. we will be the rules that govern the states that will leave and for

that mater. if you ask me personally i abide by the rules or regulations of the country. so i am for one a government to say what the laws are saying what a traditional believers are saying and what a christian courts are say gazing on lesbianism and what about it correlates. to for i believe that the. and we will who recognize the. 100 that's a common view on the streets of our crime and elsewhere in the country. they don't we all do. such sucked because i think it's for outs or. on our oral traditions it's allowed. her to call it. is something that we do grew up with it is not an african thing we are not into

this alliance this they did not innocent to deceive and it is a taboo so we don't need to feel it we don't need it don't go and others like him and to relent in. the rights activists also mobilizes like minded people to discuss issues affecting them and to 2nd solutions. that week a few new layers of carney and we need to talk about this as a community and we need to leave with the proper authorities to make sure that the perm the have been put into we were removed from day dunga is hoping for acceptance within the game in society suna but that 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. did people in the community i'm gonna have to live in fear. l g b c people in ghana are often faced with violent. people experience physical assault people experience physical and sexual harassment people experience with news this communication people experience public humiliation in their streets in marketplaces if you are perceived to be queerer in some way or for perceived to be a member of the community or if you open 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 violence that people experience many people having to live in fear many people are having to live in the crosses 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 of their homosexuality so it's really a very grim situation that would be to people in ghana he said the moment if i see my story i will get to that point but i i do what it was before we proceed at to the point that you're going to make i did want to ask you what 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 clearly there's a 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 guy not christian console the catholic secretary at the catholic bishops conference they gonna happen to costello and charismata 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 that. writes in ghana and some of the talking points that these 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 see they're going to hear all the wrath of gorge and the country is going to be destroyed and the country is going to to fall into really like from the bible and so because because of the fear that has been instilled in people people also feeling like you know it's right and they don't once they don't want to be damned you know by by supreme. intolerance of of the community in ghana all right that's pretty much speaking to us from accra thank you for. and that's it for now

survey of course on. africa page on facebook and on twitter and today we'll leave you with. the algae of the tea community across the continent of africa we'll see you next time i. got some hot tips for your bucket list. corner. for some. and some great cultural memorials to boot. for a good. innocent company pushes old loves us right now in the morning right now climb

a tree the 1st hop to stores. places one closely when photos one with. how much force can really do. we still have time to work from doing. what is it. that subscribes like this. to the likes of this is a load. of this. virus get lucky i'm mega hit all over the planet for french jews who decided to cold. a day after 28 years more

on that in a minute also coming up today. recently discovered letters written by adult farther give new insights into the dictator's upbringing and his character. understated unfunctional 2 words essential and stefan dietz is 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 bands in dance music history makes

a funk discovered techno and since they had 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 bands like this hit for example no party without this song it's from the 1st abo in a $997.00 from home with. every song on this legendary album was an international hit and 28 years of their career they only made 4 albums and everyone each one was a huge success. and by the way no reason given for the. the management hasn't released any information about that there are of course rules and

speculations and if you look at the video 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 the other may be down 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 book the boy is so young. 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 for instance got lucky was a top 10 hit in $32.00 countries so how come they got so popular worldwide when you think of their beginnings they started them paris in the ninety's and this was really hot spot for house music and they took a music that already existed and make it just into they turned into perfection of their album brand that 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 whole williams is not

a watch is was responsible for this touch being ok krueger you'll still be able to keep your dancing shoes on absolutely where this today. a new book by austrian historian woman son group gave a rare glimpse into adult upbringing it's based on that as a quad after they were found in an attic bettors written by hitler's father a loss to a build up 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 clean up 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 for 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 the the real thing that illustrates how the son was molded by his father is certainly the auto tactic education that the father hand which he was infinitely proud of and which led him to hold all those who had regular schooling in contempt this is true of i drove him to out of that and the sun also thought of himself as a genius the latter is a testimony to alloys an immense feeling of superiority and lack of feeling for others. he was also harsh towards. all these who say he would 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 lengths this is where he believes hitler formed the way of thinking and acting that would have terrible consequences lynch 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 gruber says it was rife in the customs service were a noisy hitler worked. hitler though hated the civil service he wanted to suppress his father and rebelled against the life he was expected to lead is at that time most rebellions were to the right 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 greeba. only briefly attended this simple village school far from the influences of the sound group one more small parts of the young early life part of the parcel of his murderous descent in tomorrow 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 stuff on dietz manages to tick all these boxes or more with his designs and that's why there are source after i stablished names like tonette rozental and many many more. colorful minimalistic and clever

objects 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 in. the us design is a floor lamp that functions without joints instead to move will 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 $108.00 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 me extremes. so we can put a lamp in a corner and eliminate a dinner table almost 3 metres away from. the floor level to manufacture a mic god is based on a well known model type 113 a desk lamp designed from 1923 it was one of the 1st serially produced adjustable lamps world war heat. products that were last manufactured for the companies or bauhaus designs which were very mechanical and with this background my idea was to do the exact opposite of what they had to be something that was kind of the antithesis of this 1920 s. mechanics it is a methodical that's once again. creating 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 made this. i'm history with that coffeehouse chair inventing the technique in the middle

of the 19th century. beats 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 was released it uses materials for undercarriage uncomforting production in the auto industry and was awarded the prestigious red dot design award the development took 4 years because 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 you know for and to do before studying industrial design he completed an apprenticeship as

a company today and he of munich studio together with for product design as he develops designs the top produced by such prestigious labels as most 15 by the. us the new i think design is primarily about a light touch even if you're in bishan for a project or project is immense you can't lead to 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 sequences that deets 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 modern a sofa system the slip covers can be changed quickly and easily proving that stefan dietz a flexible and sustainable approach to design never goes out of style. it
