every week as we get to the point to our current topic. a controversial comment is right. to point to. don t w. this is due to be news and recount on the program today more and more women around the world are speaking out about the violence today have experienced at the hands of man we put the spotlight on gun at one woman change her story with us activists in the country say the training is an exceptionally high. and we will meet one of senegal's most promising junkies he's dominated the dome a sticky canal the 19 year old has his sights set on international glory.

hello i'm christine one it's good to have your company the conversation about women's safety has been ignited once again since that recent u.n. report revealed that male violence against women remains an anomaly high the report said one in 3 women around the world have been physically ill sexually violated by a man they are in a relationship with one of many countries where male violence against women is causing a problem is gonna the country records around 3000 attacks by men and women yet this month alone 5 women have been killed there by they have male partners in a moment i'll be joined by one of the country's leading activists but 1st though here is a story of one woman who survived her ordeal. sheedy has been divorced from her husband for 6 months now after 8 years of marriage for hair

there where it's years of suffering her now ex-husband started abusing hey within the 1st year of the our marriage including physically she difficult trapped but it's hard to know we're out so she tried to commit suicide several times i want your pharmacy to buy a sleep aid this is a prescription drug doing going to give it to me so i sort of the one i was i was bringing about like a mad woman telling lies just to get stuff to harm myself. and at the end of that d. algaba 30 pieces the legs the i set off again the 30 out of $100.00 and i took everything unfortunately nothing happened to me at 1st she did not speak out or a part to be abused to their pleas she was afraid of being stigmatized even some

members of her own family did not believe her hair she now suffers from permanent headaches and still bears the physical scars she says that finding the courage to speak out and leave him are each saved her life to the 1st time i really came out i felt liberated yeah i felt good i felt who 8 years of trauma is ended. i felt i felt like i was harboring. heavy baggage that was just ticking off me and i think that is those well they healing process begun and the reporting of gender based violence cases has been a major problem in fighting the menace the german development agency g.i. said and patents are helping to change the trained using technology. the mobile app is now available to help victims report on money mostly in

a form of violence they have experienced via s.m.s. interactive voice response or voice recording developers of the op wants people to get stalking and gain the help they need. speaking now is the fs there that you can actually seek justice sneakin nap is also the 1st step where you can get help and speaking up is the only way that you can protect your family you can protect your colleague you can protect whoever is close to you for being a victim of violence in the future. are many activists wants to stick to do more to help victims get justice quickly this see that's would encourage more people to come forward and to have the stories. in terms of those interventions i think we need to do more people we need to do more i think government. by

strengthening the police system. strengthening the court. you know strengthening social welfare services. she is not educating have a life and career to fight for the rights of victims of domestic violence she was victims to leave abusive relationships are some aspies simple. my religion doesn't leave me if it is no working it is no working move out. yourself. she hopes his story will inspire victims of gender based violence to speak out on secure. and to talk more on this we've invited dr angela a boy jay onto the program she's a lawyer and gender rights activist in ghana welcome to news africa angela tell us about the organization that you run it's called the foundation what was the reason

you began this work well the. christian based organization that's works to support abused women and children that's our core work but apart from that we also engaged in training of service providers we do a lot of advocacy with other organizations and we also do a lot of community education instance. so basically that's what the been doing for the last since 1999 we also run the face shelter for battered women in this country since 1909 we continue to offer our. services a wide range of services to victims of domestic violence right angela what do you believe is the reason male violence against women is so and acceptably high as you put it in ghana. well there's simply impunity

impunity in the sense that people who do these things think they can get away with basically speaking and they can get away with it because of the social cultural. understanding of the rule of men and women especially in household and domestic arrangements so if one person has more power than the other the tendency to use this kind of power in an abuse of we is strong unless that person is restrained by their own you know maybe religious convictions or bring in or by the law and because for a long time the law has not really done well in restraining people the key doing it actually if there is this appen out that will allow women to report incidences and nor. do you think that it's going to be effective in addressing the situation as it isn't gonna. i think it will have to be tested for a while to see i'm very happy there's an up anything that can add to the services

for victims of sexual and dead of these violence including domestic violence we are happy about ok because already there's a death in services in the country and so i'm linking the launch of this up to the needs of services we have if we don't. the game institutions and i said this is when somebody seeks help even from the op there's a limitation to what anyone can do in terms of the police the courts the social services the angels that what ever you saw that's my concern i'm hoping that's to be addressed we need to send so on these things are not a you know you can talk and that's their operatic but it may clearly not be enough for somebody who needs help and just. do you agree with the sentiment that there's far too much emphasis on what women should or shouldn't do to protect

themselves we often talk about the victims and less focus is put on the men perpetrating this violence against women. well i agree too to an extent but if your life is in danger you're not really thinking about you know who should be educated now or who should be educated next you're just thinking about how to make sure that you keep your life together and you keep your children together so you know the focus on knowing what to do if your face in violence as a woman in fact as anybody is very important i don't think is to sift at all 'd however it is time to also engage more men in the discussion this has been done in the past but for some reason i think that some of the things that you hear is that ok for those of us who are working in this area we south so loudly they don't want to hear so maybe isn't the tone of our voice is the message we are putting out is

that the strength of this social cultural norms and understanding is something that we need to engage in in a lot more and also to start some real perpetrator programs where the institutions are concerned because the law actually gives the courts a lot of power as to be on this for men to participate in some of these programs which we don't have yet thank you very much to ducks and talking to us from ghana thank you and our next story is an cynical way and 19 year old has become one of the country's most promising horse racing chuckie's has already won several prestigious races at home now the rising star hopes to go even further and compete internationally. meet fellow deal one of senegal's most talented jockeys.

a film that premiered this month at berlin's international film festival and is coming soon to h.b.o. and sky tina promises never before seen footage of the music icon and features personal recollections by tina turner herself. look what i have done in this life with this body i have a great deal of kind of feel good about myself. that was knocked off of the. chain that i was how a young go born is and i'm a bullet became the superstar you know trying on the story of the hell she lived through with husband and musical partner ike turner and how she escaped is familiar but still packs and then motional punch. in some ways we are telling that story to a new generation. but we are also hopefully exploring it through tina's point of view and what it means for her to be kind of. so associated with some of the worst

times in life i had a decent life no other way to tell the story. a 978 tina turner divorced her husband i can't launch a solo korea by the 99 to use she was one of the biggest pop stars in the world no i don't consider it a comeback tina that never. hurts to have to remember those. in the same state forgiveness takes over. well i've only seen the trailer but i'm joined by my colleague 18 kennedy class has seen the whole fail adrian what did you make of it when it's an incredible story and this is a remarkable documentary after me i was a little skeptical because a lot of the story is very familiar as you know time a farce talked about the abuse that she received at the hands of her ex-husband ike in an interview in 1981 with people magazine this documentary makes extensive use

of the recording of that interview further revelations came a few years data in the fingers autopilot graphy. and that book was the basis for the quite harrowing bio pic. what's that got to do with it in $1090.00 free but this document tree does manage to present this in an even more stark fashion there is graphic descriptions of the abuse she received and the hell that she lived through all of the world believed that she was living the dream life of a successful star right that we heard tina mentioned forgiveness there is this the final chapter of the story. she mentions fickleness but it's pretty abstract a little bit vague it's more about letting go about healing for her in the past she has said that she could never forgive ike for what she did to her but here she does

speak with some sympathy about his insecurities and about the discrimination that he experience as a black artist in america but. died in 2007 and there was no reconciliation while he was alive but tina's story does have a happy ending i believe because tina actually found love here in germany that's right indeed she lives a securities life in a swiss villa with her husband german record executive back they met in the eighty's they married in 20 seeing and she calls it how one true marriage and get this back even donated a kidney to the singer when she suffered kidney failure in 27 seeing well that's what i call true love is there any hope that tina might be lou it out of retirement no not really she's she retired 2009 and she has said that. she

enjoys doing nothing so we really only have the music and we have this documentary which is more than just a run of the mill music documentary it is also a poignant tale of survival against the odds ok and all of us can see tina from this weekend on h.b.o. and sky documentaries thank you very much for giving us a taste i thank you. more culture news now and another tell all music documentary is premiering this month's. her. to be careful i mean demi lovato dancing with the devil the u.s. singer reveals she was sexually abused as a teenager the 4 episode series is released on huge originals this week it focuses on love otto's 2018 drug overdose and ongoing battles with addiction shot to fame

and their environments something that's become especially poignant in recent times . today i tend. to use photography and film to show the world from an unusual perspective. but it hasn't always been this way the artist had a life changing experience and 2016 after his paraglider crashed into a waste water reservoir. rats suffered organ failure clinically dead. this is the place where i finish my life and for mere i'll start a new life from this point of start to look at things differently. the biggest influence was on my own. women's gowns dramatically drawn out to reimagine the surrounding landscapes.

in israel the latest election the liver is in decisive results they get most of results they get longer reports long serving prime minister benjamin netanyahu claims victory but with no clear path to majority gridlock is set to continue. thank you so much for your company everyone german chancellor angela merkel has canceled plans for a controversial shutdown over the easter holiday the chancellor said the hastily drawn up plans were impractical and

a mistake just one day ago americal and state leaders agreed on a 5 day strict lockdown a starting april 1st closing most shops and churches but following criticism and confusion merkel offered an unexpected apology. the idea of a strict easter lockdown had many here in germany up in arms and the chancellor herself acknowledged the measure was a mistake in an extraordinary address to the people. here as an easter shutdown was proposed is the best of intentions because we urgently need to slow down and we've broached the 3rd wave of the pandemic never that. this proposal was a mistake and feel and feel a mistake 1st be acknowledged as a search and above all it must be corrected as soon as possible to see in place for about the same time i am well aware that this and tire situation is causing added uncertainty but already i deeply regret this and i ask all citizens

to forgive me for trying. they said a rollback of the measure added fuel to the fire especially for opposition parties at the parliament. to scour suspects details whose paraphrase yesterday it was like 2 days 5 starts nobody knows what the rooms are anymore and that knowledge meant a failure from the chance of though she takes responsibility that nobody really knows what the submission. of the chancellor's decision they served respects however it also means a deepening crisis trust when it comes to the fight against the pandemic just because government has failed in its wage of 5 pandemic and now we need caution and common sense to be able to overcome the 3rd way. political aren't the only ones being left with more questions than answers germans are increasingly the

why is that by the government's handling of the crisis. you can't adopt and how can it be that people who have means can fly to new york but nobody is allowed to travel to who can island where they respected all measures to curb infections and. one and he might be globally just clarity so people get set clear deadlines is a clear schedule on how to go forward with definition but i'm not really impressed that they've changed the rules and in fact we had wanted to travel but unfortunately now we must stay at home although. it's good on the one side but i don't think it's enough. it is the 1st time that the chancellor has admitted so openly that there was a glitch in her decision making but why some see to move as a lot of others around taking cash for basically setting up mosques deals here in germany and the big question is really will her posse be able to bounce

back from this and come. across as the party that doesn't administer a crisis but really solves one and this is pretty much the low power points that either the macros hitting him personally but also a conservative led government then again let those vaccines arrive in force the economy bounce back and we might be in a different situation again but no doubt. leadership that star light has is fading somewhat over this apology let's get you more on these remarkable turn of events dr who were young students is the general secretary of the german society of medical intensive and emergency in medicine dr good to have you with us no strict 5 day a lockdown what would you prescribe. ok that's a very difficult question i can tell you that weeks ago before the last conference

of chancellor merkel with the m.p. and prime ministers of germany we told them and we said clearly and stated that the lockdown should be hold on until end of march they decided in another way they pronounced new measures of incidence race coming from 35 to 50 now 200 and some countries like britain of also said 200 as a measure and we we frightened that the incidence of the infection rates goes up and that happens and now we have the decision on monday to tuesday this clear kept on locked on throughout the east the days and now going back to the last step and we would prescribe that in face of the lower rates of vaccines and face of british would

turn to be 117 with a higher infection rates and major danger for people getting the covert 19 virus we would say go on with a lockdown and try to keep infection rates low dr johnson's just illustrate for us make it very clear what are you seeing how are i see use here in germany dealing with the surge in new cases. you see for the moment 2 we now see for about 10 days each day the rates of ice you're covered $900.00 patients rises per day about $5200.00 if this goes on. more the law city then we will end up in 10 days we have over 4020 days with 5000 that is the way we don't want to go the health coverage is in intensive care

medicine and emerge the meds and they did a great job the last 12 months they didn't they handled 2 big ways the big wave now around christmas and in january and they the resilience of the have to work is quite endangered the so we hope to keep load on intact relays and keeping down those sexual aids will keep covert narcan patients from the severe cause of the disease in the intensive care units that's the only solution at this moment that's a nation will take place in may and june and then we hopefully getting in a very smooth calm sea maybe in the summertime. now what would you tell people who say the cure is worse than the pandemic the cost of isolation the cost of law down the damage city economy is just too steep we just have to open it up. if the population in the people in

germany would say that and i think not all of them are telling the c.s. if they would say that they would decide to vote for politicians of politicizing this have to decide what to do with the medical persons review of the physicians are not the one to get the decision i would say if you want to open up everything you have the risk that infection rates goes steve up and the end you will have and up in thousands of people we saw that in december we had per day above 10001100 people and that is the price you have to pay if this is except this should tell everybody and they should tell the all splitters are safe as for us it's a very high burden to see people dying in the i.c.u. from cope with 19 and knowing that you can prevent the death of each person and i

think that should everybody think it over who who wants to get away from this lockdown dr johnson's thank you so much for speaking with speaking to us and thank you for your service thank you. that sabrina's feet are some of the other stories making news this hour u.s. a secretary of state antony blinken says america aims to revitalise ties with its nato allies it was speaking to a summit of a foreign ministers in brussels he said trust between the partners have been shaken but that the alliance needs to come together to face off threats from china and russia. the chinese cities of hong kong and macau have suspended the use of the biotech pfizer covert 1000 baxi defective packaging was reported in one batch of the drug authorities say they have acted as

this is not the decisive victory that netanyahu and his left could party had been hoping for with counting still underway this polarizing politician doesn't appear to have enough seats to form a coalition government even with the support of his ultra orthodox and nationalist right wing allies he said painting from all parties to back him in the school list state needs a stable government. not a government of bits and pieces based on personal disqualifications on ambitions a stable government for the state of israel that's what the our demands that's what the challenge is in front of us demand and we must not under any circumstances drag the state of israel to new elections to a 5th election we must form a stable government and now the book so. yeah i

love peter has been netanyahu smain rival in this election. but despite his push his centrist party yes shot teed is still a distant 2nd. to. this man and his nationalist right wing mean apart she could now play a key role in deciding who forms a government naftali bennett used to be an ally of netanyahu but she's become a firm critic and has refused to say who hill supporting coalition talks. if. look i will act only under one guiding principle should do what is good for israel. must what is good for all the citizens of israel. binyamin netanyahu is still facing corruption charges which he

denies. but he's also one support for the country's successful coronavirus facts a nation program. not enough though to know if this veteran politician will remain israel's controversial prime minister. now a year since the tokyo olympics were delayed by the pandemic the torch relay is finally set to restart the olympic flame began its journey at the beginning of last march at mount olympus in greece the torch arrived in japan a week later the flame has been kept alight since then and will now travel through the host nation starting near the nuclear disaster site of he she not around 10000 runners will be involved in the games are set to begin in july. i know he asked me hold that he's and humorous art that's it for now you're up to
