triguboff. misread me listless clay. from the. looks of. this fly. nonstop excited to finally. w. . this defeat of the news africa on the program today south africa relaxes its cold at night drop down as it emerges from the deadly sick and wait the vaccine rollout is gaining momentum with. the country receiving the johnson and johnson jab but many friends times with just don't want to get the vaccine. and nigeria's missing girls who meet the parents hoping their daughters will soon be returned and it's been 3

days since the girls with kidnapped from their school in the north and sometimes. on the be tao why not it's produced an album with dozens of collaborators despite the pandemic. i'm christine one but it's good to have your company south africa has moved into the lowest level luck for the relaxing restrictions on movement gatherings and economic activity it comes off officials say it was a dramatic decline call that 1000 cases over a tweet africa is the worst affected country on the continent have been recorded over one and a half 1000000 infections and 50000 deaths a new variant that is more easily transmitted dominated a deadly 2nd wave in the country the international board on sunday evening

president sort of was to say that the country had now emerged on that 2nd wave and that the vaccine was state of the program. once a vaccination of health care workers has been completed we will begin with phase 2 of the vaccination draw a lot in late april to early may phase 2 will include the elderly essential workers persons living or working in institutional settings and those with co-morbidities. now south africa recently signed an agreement with johnson and johnson to secure an 11000000 doses off the coast in 1000 back scene the country is currently inoculating its frontline health workers but some of them are opposed to the johnson and johnson vaccine because the government began administering the jab before its trial phase had concluded. that. at least 2 weeks into south africa program and

there is growing resistance so far a list that 8000 people have received the. health the white house have praised. the johnson and johnson vaccine that is still in the train phase here . to see the vaccine johnson and johnson don't have. the professional frontline of the. 100100 b.c.f. research project they are using mostly repeats. and. has already deployed to voc in the country are seizing the opportunity to make their voices head. admits but. there are those who say the vaccine is a jab. at the biblical era of the beast and. some alleged that

it alter people's d n a and that it's made aim is to depopulate the wild basket. if we have to take it one night. still have a lot of questions about the boxing day not being. there is you know and everything that is included within the boxing itself the making of it you know and all that and we need to know what taking nobody. calls us to live to see also insists they'll grab a stick with death or just not have by the medusa although not have been signed difficult proven to be an effective vaccine to protect people against all the. tough mire from the protected waited for myself to look at any time i want it and i can't do anything with it so i cut my hair for them to be thinking when you get to the know put in the family i wouldn't know about how sad but imagine a professor of vox in the loads of divestiture of front says most of this i

do to lack of information as such must. be an issue of. reaching our. public and i think the public engagement appropriate for challenging. and educating people is 2 i could see that they're probably already right. as the government which had to get enough money to inoculate over 60 percent of the population by the end of the year it is now clear it would need to work in convincing the majority of the citizens to be jabbed. filed the report you just saw and he joins me now from johannesburg good to see you . so we heard some of the reasons people are giving for not wanting to be vaccinated in your report but just how widespread is this skepticism in south africa. this is

a very wide discretion considering the recession or so obvious but we have had referred to may just of these here in south africa infected the 3 there's one from the global i p s o s and another one from the fin take it found that that wasn't generated they found that to about 50 percent of south africans of sede bill resisted taking the vaccine and our local university had invested of the hounds but also did another study where they put that figure to one that so that is quite quite a huge number and obviously this is not a small group of people at the corner there by this across christian across religions are cross tradition quite a number of people in a lot of corners here saying they're not prepared to take the vaccine as yet to do so and you'll report somebody from a nursing union spoke what's the government going to do about frontline. who

potentially refused to be vaccinated. got into the government does just say to no one is going to be forced to be vaccinated and that poses a big problem because if those that are supposed to be vaccinating people are saying we are not going to go there because like the indaba nessus union advising 17000 members to say they should not take the vaccine because the government is not clear so the government has a big problem but what we know now is that to their trainings that are being made and there are moves that are being made to advise and educate the health awakens about the importance of this flux in and which is their main concern to say they were not well trained about it and the government is taking moves now to try it by all means and educate them to make sure that they participate right that's just a reporting for us in johannesburg thank you 2 so.

hundreds of girls from the nigerian town of junkier bay are still missing after gunmen attacked a school and took 317 hostages on friday when you travel to some fire a state where parents of the children have been going to the school desperate for years since the abduction this man has come to this school to find and says his daughter is one of the hundreds of girls who wear could not on friday son hasn't been able to sleep since the news reached his family. and cromer ties situation we are in. because we constantly. thinking about our ghettoes daughter have sought is only 12 years

the student would not have. and they're not feel comfortable to the student had. state officials say they have beefed up security for state negotiations to get the girls released are reported to be under way if they are located i want to assure you that the example the state government has the capacity to rescue them without having choice but to john get basic and risk pool get the has one wish or 2 a life is to bring to dren. severally unhealthy that is our prayer. the big question is why these girls have been kidnapped but as yet no answers are forthcoming.

as you well into the pandemic is limiting and in many cases preventing gatherings so artists and performers are hard hit but the south african music star sunil musician wouldn't let the get to him he recently released an album that he produced remotely and this might just bring about his international breakthrough. the wizard on the dick's son l. writes sings and mixes anything and everything he comes across and likes army which take australian to the arts. zulu folk music you name it so yeah i can basically take anything and just fuse it with that soul but the bass is always just been house but now houses restrictive so i'd rather go for dance which is more open. with sun l. is a headline act at south african gigs in festivals his 1st hit

a kind of marley dominated the charts for weeks and 2017 it's basically a song just talking about being broke and i relate to that because at that particular time i didn't have money whatsoever so it was so easy for me to just release it to that and really push the message across and it worked out with. the sun l. has won several music awards in south africa now he's hoping for an international breakthrough and he's determined not to let the covert 19 shut down stop and the artist decided to shift to free virtual production for his latest release. on this album i have about 26 collaborators you know which is very hard working and pandemic situation. everything was just virtual e-mails in and out songs got lost certain fine no visions i'm not on the front. page it's only me who has bad. but it's beautiful it's out there people are really

diving into. the album africa to the world and beyond feature something big names like nino la from nigeria and kenya stop the song telling african stories to the rest of the world as the artist puts a camera. and on that you know it's that's it for now is africa of course as well on our website and on our facebook page and twitter we'll see you next time about. happiness is for everyone schumann penises are very different from primates you know we have a totally unpredictable romanticized view of nature and their favorite is climate change crisis sex how to dance in 3 books you get smarter for a brief works on. every journey begins with the

1st step and every language the 1st word political coaxing germany. why not learn. to stuff it simple like go on your mobile and free. music learning course. german made easy. welcome to arts and culture chinese director chloe jour made history on sunday night as the 1st asian woman ever to win a golden globe for best director and only the 2nd woman ever her film nomad land also won best drama more on that also coming up. international film festival is happening all this week starting with the online industry event the 1st of its

hybrid to phase pandemic form. and new music from japanese australian. churns the isolation of corona lockdown into a contemplation of life and hope. cinema on regardless of pandemic restrictions and sunday night's golden globes awards ceremony was quite a different affair streamed online from multiple locations and allowing multiple digs at the events need to diversify well nevertheless black actors did win several trophies a woman won best director and there was a healthy number of surprises. so the one t 21 golden globe awards this year's golden globe awards were symbolic of the changed media landscape no stars on the red carpet no tables full of laughing actors the strange atmosphere was made even more awkward by the earlier revelation

that the hollywood foreign press association has no black members co-hosts tina fey and amy poehler didn't pull their punches here everybody is understandably upset at the p.a. and their choices look a lot of flashy garbage got nominated but that happens ok that's like their thing but a number of black actors and black led projects were overlooked and look we all know that award shows are stupid yeah they're all a scam invented by big red carpet to sell more carpets we know that what is even a stupid things inclusive is important and there are no black members of the hollywood foreign press i realize it's f.p.a. maybe you guys didn't get the memo because your workplace is the backbone of a french mcdonalds but you gotta change that so here's to change the event was dominated by streaming platforms as netflix raked in awards for the crown and amazon took the category for best musical or comedy for the 2nd borat film but

there were some surprises. golden globe goes to. no merit. director chloe xiaobo won best picture and became the 1st woman of color to take on best director for her film nomad land which stars frances mcdormand. no mother and i did score for me is a. pilgrimage there are grief and healing. so for everyone who has gone through this difficult and beautiful journey some point in their lives this is for you we don't say goodbye we say see you down the road thank you. in another surprise when andra day took best drama actress for the title role in the united states versus billie holiday on a night when the winners more closely resembled hollywood's new creators the question remains whether the hollywood foreign press association will also show

a willingness to change. and joining me from our studios in bonn is my colleague scott rock's throw quite a night at the golden globes there scott what were the biggest surprises for you. yeah well for me mad land wasn't a surprise i mean that's been my pick for best film since i saw it in venice last year it's an amazing movie and definitely deserved the top prize last night at the globes i was however a bit surprised sasha baron cohen and he won best actor in a comedy for bharat movie film and i'd expected colin to win a globe last night but i thought it was going to be in the dramatic category because he was also nominated for his amazing performance in the trial of the chicago 7 and i think the globes voters really missed a trick there because i mean he was a credible man it would be great to see him take home that prize i have to agree with you there are a lots of controversy around the golden globes traditionally and they're often criticized for this lack of diversity that they have so

a number of awards did go to actors of color and there was a serious nod to women well that what this controversy to rest or do you expect it to continue. no no they could contras his death we're going to continue it's has legs as they say i mean the globes is an incredibly powerful organization and hollywood it's the 2nd most important award show after the oscars but the group that votes on the golden globes the hollywood foreign press association is probably the least diverse group of any of these voting bodies as we heard they have no white non white members and although it was great to see a lot of a quite diverse group of winners last night a lot of nonwhite talents taking home a golden globes much deserved i think this isn't going to change the discussion and isn't going to change the need for really systematic change within the globe's organization ok now of course germany is disappointed because it's nominee had they

not saying i didn't win this time around but she does have quite a bit of time doesn't she. yeah i mean it's almost 12 years old so i think she's got plenty of time for a rematch at the globes she was up for best actress in a drama for alongside tom hanks in western the news of the world she lost out to jodie foster in that category who won for her role in the mauritanian so if you're going to lose that the golden globes losing to a 2 time oscar winning hollywood legend like jodie foster that probably takes a bit of the sting out of it i would say so and speaking of jodie foster she is headlining a roundup at berlin's international film festival which runs this week and prides itself on privilege and political films in particular let's take a look at the mauritanian you need to tell me the truth you need to tell me what happened how to get the pain do you want to stand next to fire you know. whatever i said. it doesn't matter. a defense lawyer and her client mohamedou

old slahi from mauritania is in custody in guantanamo he's accused of having aided the terrorists who carried out the 911 attacks but is he really kilty golden globe winner jodie foster place lawyer nancy hollander likely a real person the character is based on she also believes in the law. you know how our country is shaped by that how the world she and if there was ever there was anything that made me believe in democracy in the rule of law it's been me from. the film copilot is also based on a true story having to do with 911 astley love say yet a seemingly perfect love story but then he becomes one of the terrorists on that fateful day september 11th 2001 he was the man she must have asked herself at some point was that a monster could i really have loved a monster how could i do that but on the other hand she knows very well that he was also lovable. no one has to make

a line in the last. the film dissects the main characters pain without making her seem naive that makes copilot into a successful illustration of the maxim love is blind even against the backdrop of the terrorist attacks that changed the world. as some heavy stuff there with 911 a recurring theme scott why are politics so very important at the belly not what role they play. poll are said troll the berlin film festival probably there more than at any other film festival in the world and i think it makes sense because i mean the festival itself was set up as a political statement it was originally set up in west berlin in the divided city as a statement of artistic freedom and political freedom in opposition to the censorship and political oppression on the other side of the wall in east berlin and in the communist bloc and you always see that puts

a real focus on serious political movies and they're often the ones that when the awards and i often have the feeling that the jury in berlin will often use their own wards as to make a political statement i think that was partially case last year when on a rainy and film one from a director who suffered censorship in his home country and was actually put on in under house arrest in iran and was unable to attend the festival so i think you see this sort of political stuff thread throughout the festival and it's always been center to what the delhi doll is now we don't have time to hear about all of them but tell us just very quickly which other titles might have caught your attention. there's a couple i'll mention really quickly the ballad of a white cowering in film about a woman whose husband is executed a miscarriage of justice seems really really interesting compelling and courage a film from a documentary which is sort of an inside look at the protesters on the streets in belarus trying to return little hearts and that intrigue that's very very timely

content indeed there scott and the 71st belly not taking place online will be speaking to you all this week so thanks very much for that 1st overview scott ross perot in bowling. all the older players know what it means to play 2nd fiddle as the saying goes usually taking a backseat to the violence in iraq istra so it's refreshing to hear the deeper mellower sound of the viola get some air time of its own japanese australian the oldest he only took grew up here in germany and her new solo album recorded in lockdown braves' some new territory with her instrument. 'd 'd 'd 'd feel the tug surrounded by nature and sounds in a berlin park during these pandemic times the young violist has often found inspiration here including for her latest album songs of solitude. for this project she commissioned 11 composers to create music for her one of them was toshio. 'd

'd guys the one beds during the locked on faced. traveling back to his childhood and he started hearing melodies and one of them was. cherry blossom he is also someone that connects to nature very much and brings nature into its own. another of the striking works written for songs of solitude is by finnish composer color they are all. this piece calls for to go or to play and sing. i actually had this clear vision in front of me and which i thought when that be the most

wonderful gift if we could distill into sound the isolation that we are globally facing in order to give people a place through music through these songs of solitude. to reflect upon what we're dealing with and to cope with it. along with music what has helped to go in this time is painting she sets before the canvas each morning and allows her imagination to run wild the result is colorful pictures full of optimism like some of the compositions she recorded for the album. that includes a piece by british composer john powell making songs of solitude had a positive impact on the violist. it didn't change my approach to

music but it definitely gave me a deep sense of belief in music he only took our hopes to give her listeners not only belief in music but faith in life itself. and on that uplifting note stay positive and we'll be back with lots more arts and culture tomorrow same time same place so thanks for watching all the best from berlin stay safe.
