living inside this time. just told us that it is raining season now and sometimes when it's raining in the night there's no floor so they can't lie down they have to try and stand inside these tiny little huts and this is not only the situation for her family more than 6000 people are living in this camp and the terrible conditions. there outbreaks of cholera elect of basic medications and food being confined to the camp with little to do many are still scared. of the moment or yet the group counseling sessions provide an outlet for these displaced people to voice their problems but ultimately what almost everyone here wants is to return home. in peace. today the rights group amnesty international released a report on the islamist insurgency in northern wasn't baek the report is based on

interviews with internally displaced people from the communities that have been impacted by the increased fighting in the region now amnesty international's david not seen it joins me to tell us more about that report hi david what does your report say about the raging insurgency and more than most and baek it's displaced thousands of people some of whom we just saw in our reports people of cup they'll get a court in a triangle of violence well crimes and human rights abuses because on the one hand . the group fighters are shooting and beheading civilians burning their homes looting their food and property abducting women and girls subjecting them to sexual physical and emotional violence including forced marriages secondly we have government security forces who are subjecting detainees to torture and extrajudicial killings and lastly the african private military company visor group

that was hired by the mozambican government to take part in this conflict this company has been using machine guns and hand grenades from helicopters so indiscriminately. distinguishing between civilians and military targets right in a nutshell that's the summary of the report david and this is the national accuses government security forces of committing war crimes tell us more about that there are those fighters of the group who are detained and captured some of them wounded and they are often subjected to torture and extrajudicial killings and you have civilians as well in those neighborhoods in the . conflict area who are also. tortured you know killed some of them forcibly disappeared and never to be heard from them again now the government must promptly

off an independent impartial and transparent terrorist again into these credible allegations as well as are those that are not included now report and bring all those responsible to justice they must also gave humanitarian agency. access to capital got to so that they can work providing aid to people in need. all right that's david messina of amnesty international speaking to us there thank you david. our next report takes us to north keevil province in the democratic republic of congo activists in the capital city a working to raise awareness of covert 19 because many people don't believe the virus poses a serious threat to them the country as a whole has been spared the worst of the pandemic it's officially reports of 700

deaths in just over 20000 cases but it's feared the misconception of the pandemic could cause the situation to change. benedikt my nagle is 66 years old and diabetic when she arrived at the hospital she was weak and needed oxygen for 5 days 6 days he's exposed to have c b r 4 but we. got this he is improving very well. dr i'm wondering dan miller is the only emergency physician at he africa and funded hospital in goma in eastern congo in the past week he received 5 covert patients 3 of them severe cases the doctors cleft the case numbers compared to countries like south africa having b.c. if we'd have that here in goma or in the country i think that would be cut to struck because we are not well prepared to receive a big number of sick people working for the my life. this must be prevented by

sticking to the rule says miller. but on the street you hardly ever see anyone wearing musk says he but then i haven't seen anyone die of corona so how would i believe that an annual covert is a disease for western us not for africans there's no covert in congo. what i believe is that corona kills it kills a lot of people someway show what. a survey conducted by the ministry of health in goma showed that a quarter of all those questioned believe covert 19 does not exist one reason for that according to the minister 80 percent of cases he has shown no symptoms and of the 20 percent with symptoms most isolate at home nobody really knows how many people got covert 19 already. know about the population things people died because they had diabetes high blood pressure heart disease that's where the doubts set in but we continue communicating to the people listen covert exists every day we have

new cases and we don't want the numbers go up. we are now going to meet a group of young activists in goma set up that the government doesn't enforce wearing masks in public and they feel like it's their responsibility to raise awareness about the dangers of covert rides. as part of. a group of young people who don't get tired of telling people to wear a mask a tough job because often she gets rejected the way. it's the government who should do this of the government has abandoned the population and now it's up to us to sensitize the people who get up and that's it. every saturday they're out on the street distributing stickers and informing passers by and shop owners sometimes people get aggressive. there are people who touch you even tried to hit you up but we continue because it's for the well being of our people in the capital. for

rebecca and her friends it's been a successful day if they have convinced 2 or 3 people that covert 19 is real. and that's it for now to small on dot com ford sasha africa we're also on facebook and on twitter we'll see if x. time of. literature invites us to see people in particular. like to see how strong is the kids find the strength grownup. might only object to what i write is to share a work of writing beautiful. book on youtube. one problem in new york to ignore the need to see your you.

typically brings glamour and of course revenue to the city to things an online festival can't achieve in the same way but it's also an unparalleled platform for german cinema this year more than ever and 2 productions stand out for their troubled take on the future of our human species. as. the film who we were opens with those words how will humanity be remembered in the future. director mark bowden meet 6 thinkers with special expertise like astronaut alexander gast they each share their perspectives from the bottom of the ocean from outer space africa for a buddhist monastery. we

lived too long in isolation and to support haitian of our problems we all sought orders as you and european context as an african context but to understand that everything going on right now is connected to other questions out of people out of settings i think this is an important angle. can the earth be saved the film showcases potential solutions a complete change of direction would be sensible continued over exploitation and unmitigated growth would certainly spell our hand. to meet these people in the film. it was such a mind opener to see you you don't have to wait until something changes you can do it by yourself and then you meet r.s. and then you meet again others and does this like an internal movement. who we were

uses powerful imagery to show what's at stake for humanity especially well done is the combination of different viewpoints on one central issue but there are also moments of hopefulness with a combined effort done right now humans would be able to preserve our habitat. the science fiction movie time is less optimistic warfare pandemics and climate change have turned the blue planet into a flooded grey swamp contact with the ground is only possible during the day leaving time and space colony astronauts are searching for new life they find it in the form of members of a previous mission. what happened. they crossed. we had a malfunction after entering the stratosphere. suppose address turns out to be

a betrayal told and visually striking style 2 completely different films with the same message the earth doesn't need humans but humans need the earth. humans need the earth and they also need movies to remind them of this fact and scott roxboro our movie guru joins me from boston to talk some more about german films that this year is barely not hi scott difference use of the future there from these german directors that we just saw an excerpt from tides which is looking pretty pessimistic. yeah i mean when we were the documentary at least give some hope showing how humanity could change and avert climate catastrophe but tides give us gives us the nightmare scenario what could happen if we do nothing and of course that's not really feel good sort of absolutely not. some of the other films that are in the running you know that instead of looking to the future i'm looking specifically back to the past tell us something about fabio which i think is taken

from a novel starring tom selling that looks interesting. yeah this film is set in the weimar republic so the period just before hitler comes to power in the early thirty's and tom shilling plays a character who's a a would be novelist and when we meet him he gets fired from his job as an ad man at a cigarette company. in berlin and from that point on his life began to sort of just fall apart in some ways reflecting the collapse of the society german society around him and the director is very interesting things stylistically here he uses sort of old filming techniques and sort of old movie editing styles to give sort of a retro guard feel to the whole film which is really interesting i had the opportunity to talk to the star tom schilling just earlier today and he told me that what interested him about this story wasn't the history perceval of the weimar republic but what he thinks the weimar republic can tell us about society today

because in his opinion what's happening right now the sort of rise of political extremism and the extreme political polarization is very similar to that period in the early 1930 s. in germany before everything collapsed and something and something of a fatalistic view it looks like now now germany's biggest star of course daniel goodbye lenin fame is back and he's even directing his 1st feature film this time tell us about that yeah the film is called next door and directs he also stars as a character that's a lot like daniel boulud he plays a guy called daniel guy a guy called daniel who's a famous german actor who lives in berlin and in the beginning of the movie he goes into his local bar and he meets a neighbor who he never knew he had but the neighbor knows everything about daniel and slowly he starts to pick his life apart it's almost like a western do although they're dealing with words and it's the film itself i mean it

feels more like a theater play in the way it's structured staged than a movie but it's very very funny and very very sharp. larry is saying is he's playing himself that we actually get any real insights into the real daniel. yeah it's funny you say that is like interviewed daniel pearl last week about this movie and he said that a lot of the dialogue and in fact a lot of the scenes are taken directly from his life as encounters with fans as people and other people in the in the film industry but what i really love about this movie is the you know this is germany's biggest star but he really makes fun of himself in this in this movie i mean this is the opposite of a vanity project he makes himself look horrible in this movie and i think it takes a lot of a lot of confidence of yourself as an actor and a person to make fun of your own fame in this way. certainly looking forward to seeing don you know. taking the mickey out of himself and of course all these other films and films by german directors see it tomorrow scott and thanks very much for all those back stories scott roxboro. well in the lead up to international

women's day on march the 8th we reached out to our different correspondents around the world to tell us about some women artists who are actively speaking out for women's rights through their work. is a turkish pop singer with a message and my colleague junia han has this report from istanbul. a mini bus ride through a parallel universe and a woman who actual is in the driver's seat. she loves to bring together traditions and modernity that sounds she revived psychedelic rock a sound that was lost truly popular in turkey in the 1970 s. . guy who lives in paddy curry on the asian side of the stumble. it's
