in the us when that's our topic on to the point. to disappointment. to 60 minutes some of the d.w.i. up. and on demand. language courses. video and the more you know. where. this is dean everybody is africa on the program today new account the killings happening in ethiopia to bribe egypt government troops were seen executing civilians this week it comes off to a stunning admission from the prime minister about how the forces involved in the context. and the growing burst for freshly brewed coffee to nigeria we

need one on top and yet is hoping to cash it. hello i'm christine one it's good to have your company new and gruesome accounts of the trustees are emerging from ethiopia's to gripe region in the latest revelation a team from the humanitarian organization doctors without borders say they saw ethiopian soldiers order for civilian men from a bus and then execute them now the report comes just days after the prime minister made admitted this week after months of denials that troops from neighboring iraq were also present it to cry and had similarly committed acts of extreme violence against civilians some of which could amount to crimes against humanity.

their loved ones. their relatives buried in mass graves after fighting broke out in ethiopia northern she cry. now one of the biggest humanitarian crises on the horn of africa. thousands have reportedly been killed and hundreds or thousands have fled over the last 5 months. there is no food and there is no shelter and there is no the basic need so if you can yeah after this the order comes for. 4 weeks international human rights groups have reported how both ethiopian and air tran soldiers rate killed and destroyed people's homes every port from ethiopia is only human rights commission that investigated one incident in the town of axum include dozens of

witnesses describing how your train soldiers killed over 100 civilians. people are still fleeing ongoing fighting. this we are suffering very much i cannot explain it we came here because of the wall we've been robbed of our things and our animals were taken and. it is this kind of evidence that appears to have forced the theo paean prime minister into what some are calling a stunning view turn for months he claimed the situation in t. dry was an internal conflict but now acknowledges that he trained troops were in the region and have been fighting the people's liberation front and thereby may have committed atrocities. in not going to. the air tran army crossed the border and was operating in ethiopia any damage it did to our

people on acceptable we don't accept it because it is the air tran army and we would not have accepted it if it were our soldiers would. the military campaign was against our clearly targeted enemy you see it in the i'm not against the people you know with them and the but the. united nations is calling for an investigation and has urged etran troops to withdrawal from t. dry. and to get some analysis on the story we've invited william davidson onto the program he's senior analyst on ethiopia for the international crisis group welcome to the program william why is this admission by the ethiopian prime minister that eritrean troops have been present into christ so significant and it's significant because the presence very trained troops has been denied by the

government since the outset of the conflict in november they said that the allegations eritrea was a bolt in the conflict were just a matter of this information by their opponents the leadership it's a great regional state and on top of that eritrea is military has been there is plenty of evidence that every trace military is engaged in systemic looting of public and private property integrate which is added to it's a great anger considerably and they've also been involved in serious atrocities against a grain civilians most notably almost heavily reported so far in axum city so this is a very significant admission i think also represents the mounting evidence but also the diplomatic pressure that is now on ethiopia's government over particularly over the eritrean involvement and their behavior in secret. and on that in a train involvement why are ever trained troops into iraq. they share the same objective as ethiopia's federal government which is the eradication

of the great ruling party that the great people's liberation front. as a political entity eritrea's government particularly its leader president is isaac working as a long time opponent of the people if they had a very fractious relationship during their reputations and then in 1908 ethiopia eritrea fought a war eritrea suffered very heavily in that and that was led in part by that sepia left and then subsequent to that ameritrade international isolation was also partly he the president desires plane that also want to graze leadership so they have a very. long a long and bitter political history. william the latest account of the atrocities that are happening. and comes from a scene from doctors without borders who say they witnessed ethiopian troops executing civilians what are you hearing from your sources about the extent of the atrocities being committed into cry. well i mentioned the act

situation that was a massacre by eritrean troops of civilians in that city in late november that has now been very very heavily documented including by. a federal institution of the government human rights commission we've also seen the all sorts of similar acts allegations of the trustees against civilians across to great none of them as heavily documented as the acts of incident but i think what we have is this m.s.f. witnessing ethiopian soldiers taking passages from abbas and executing them a terrible atrocity which m.s.f. witnessed by chance that's another worrying indication about the as yet unknown scale of atrocities here we've seen reports of very large go. and they are still coming in but only a few of the instance so far are confirmed and that's of course because of the information blackout integrate and the relative lack of access for journalists and

human rights want to and others who can shed some light on this. when the last time we spoke on to say she said that this military operation by the ethiopian government would likely become a protracted war is that still you'll view. what we seem to have i mean in short yes i mean what we seem to have now is the resistance led by to gray's ousted regional leadership seems to stabilize this year after they suffered a significant defeat in november and december but the rebellion that they are leading seems to be somewhat entrenched in rural areas that is the major confrontations with the ethiopian and eritrean militaries and then there are the more political dimensions of this particular perhaps particularly related to those atrocities we talked about it seems to be huge amounts of tea grain anger about what's going on that anger at the federal intervention the role and behavior of the eritrean troops and also the fact that i'm horror region has taken parts of to

graze territory as part of this war that has led to what seems to be quite widespread support for the you know it's a great leadership and for the rebellion that is further reason to think that this conflict is going to be ongoing as it is just not clear how the federal government can comprehensively overcome this resistance because of how popular it is. all right that's one of dave's and from crisis trip talking to us a thank you some of the stories now the kenyan government has ordered the un's refugee agency to shut down 2 refugee camps in the country the dab and cup will not reach the g. camps in northern kenya host of a 400000 people from somalia and south sudan they are the largest refugee camps in africa now it's the 3rd time that the kenyan government is trying to have the camps true nosed they say they pose a security risk previous attempts were blocked by the kenyan high court which state that such a group of wood and constitutional. 2 transgender women arrested for wearing

also on arts and culture today. a new ballet version of virginia orlando premieres in moscow our reporter was at the preview. and there's a new album from techno and house music you move d.j. hale and it's got an artistic twist. fish orlando by virginia woolf is a fantastical piece of literature that sees the hero's journey between 3 centuries and 2 genders now german choreographer actress jan shook has reimagined the piece for the bolshoi ballet observers expect it to make waves and in a conservative society that's not known for its tolerance of the l.g.b. t.q. community books imaginative staging might also rustle feathers. her royal highness queen elizabeth the 1st played by

a man but this is no campy drag queen playing for laughs in a nightclub this cross-dressing portrayal is serious and dignified it's part of german choreographer cust books production of virginia woolf's novel orlando book plays around with gender identities and questions the established male and female roles in a playful manner but he's doing it in a country known for its traditional even conservative values is that a deliberate provocation. is kind of it's not a provocation at least that's not my intention rather we take a very poetic approach to having a man play a queen or that the orlando role is danced by a woman. and of how overtones of the novel tells the story of the magical transformation of orlando a young nobleman into a woman which book has cast that role with a woman who dances with such lightness and elegance that changing genders seems like the easiest thing on earth the character also lives to be more than 350 years

old without aging the role are 1st an opportunity to delve into. or rich for a variety of expressive characterizations the story has a decidedly dreamlike quality. than that on monday i didn't understand the strange novel by virginia woolf right away there was a long process of finding our way in the material the choreographer wanted me to stay natural and remember that i'm a woman even when playing a man i kept that in mind despite the challenges and those challenges weren't just inside the theatre russia is in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic and has the 4th highest number of covert 1000 infections in the world the capital moscow has the highest number of deaths from covert 1000 in the country yet nearly all restrictions have been lifted bars clubs and restaurants are open as are theaters. we set about to see a month and i got sick during my 3rd week here and had to self isolate for 3 weeks in my hotel room. but now i'm immune with sort of it's

a strange picture for those of us from europe but it's the decision of this country to open things up so i've made my own decision to continue keeping my distance from the team here and being cautious about 48. but hiring spoke currently the director of the zurich ballet the bolshoi ballet has been able to mount an international production despite the pandemic for his part the renowned choreographer has enjoyed taking advantage of the bolshoi as an elite training ground for classical ballet by despotic on my language comes out of classical ballet so i respect the tradition of the bolshoi on all levels i mean huge admirer of this company and of this house. line it was a story about space and time and that appreciating the here and now is especially important that's a valuable message for these uncertain pandemic times. now to what

extent is creativity the preserve of humankind in animals or computers produced art that was the question on everyone's lips when what's created by a robot went under the virtual shama but it's not over yet sophia that's the robot's name has a special surprise for the lucky by. well the last minutes of the auction of a world premiere the 1st so-called n.f.t. artwork to be created by a robot and then the hammer falls. an as yet unidentified art collector has bought the works sophia instantiation for just under $700000.00 it's a 12 2nd m.p. for file showing how the humanoid robot sophia uses a real portrait as the basis for an artwork of its own. and the piece is not finished yet the robot will now study the successful bidders face and incorporate

it into the evolving m.p. for file the robot sophia has just turned 5 and only recently broke out in a new role as a creative. term for the work in art and other current patients. so i think i created it in only 3 films in person complementary i think margaret. partnered with. world war 2 i think machine. sophia's maker david hanson described the process behind the work a collaboration between sophia and italian artist andrea as iterative loops of evolution. evolution so far from. emerging as an artwork herself generating artwork that then was later inspired by andrea upon a chart of artwork through many iterations of art that then fueled more art resulting in this purely digital work very rich fueled by art history

her own words our dream is work and this is the main piece that we put on the nifty drop nifty gateway where sophia's work was sold is an online marketplace where digital artists can sell their work previously it wasn't possible to be the sole owner of digital artwork but now a kind of digital certificate of ownership has been developed called n f t's or non fungible tokens also now this nifty it's become the latest investment craze with some artwork selling for large sums of money but artist andrei i was mostly interested in the collaborative possibilities that what he wanted to need to do was make a statement in the war than even in the war of opening. where. ai and humans call it what. 'd you know. and

you know but what was sophia's actual role in all this the robot might be able to paint but according to critics it's nowhere near as creative as it's made out to be they say it's nothing more than a check back with a face. ignoring the naysayers sophia the robot is looking to the future. i'm excited and home to we're out late for our work i hope people like my work tonight to collaborate in new and exciting ways going forward. impressive in other news no madman tasking just another award that produces gale. of america has crowned it best film the road trip movie about semi retired americans living off the grid stars frances mcdormand and is directed by chloe zhao it already has a golden globe. and it's
