requirements of wearing a mask to be honest i'm just enjoying the phoenix today i missed out on a lot. a lot of like the weekends are just 2 minutes these days yeah i miss the big . i am happy that i'm free i'm able to come to the beach and have fun friends for quite some time we must be to see windy but i even in dog of summer. don't like all of a sudden love people couldn't come to the beach. away from the fish interesting the sea you know seeing the sunset but this is life. even if. life was coming back to normal the economy's been open there's a sense of normalcy again here in cape town despite the absence of thousands of tourists who would normally be here at this time of the year but the whole world appears to be afraid of the new mutation of the virus that 1st 1st discovered here in south africa the 2nd wave in south africa was stronger than expected because of

the 1351 this mutation is thought to be as contagious as the british one but in january the infection rate suddenly dropped and the numbers have remained close. to not like in europe we have many of. them again. in such a game and you can also. rent an office. and i mean any more and i mean we want to sustain destruction and more lenient. and he did that. and the. antibody studies show that almost 50 percent of cape town's population has already. infected and in some crowded ships the number is higher. death rate suggests that nearly 150000 people have died from 19 by religious fears that the south african variants could

be more resistance to vaccines and previous covert infections similar to the brazilian one. but studies. says there is no evidence that the. mortality rate and they are science districts with. the. first wave seem to be. second wave makes one think of some protective effect. of some protective effect even picture with the previous. period but we think if you're in fiction with variant viruses. preceding. nevertheless we're. already preparing for the 3rd wave and by increasing testing

capacities and because many people continue to ignore the corona virus regulations experts expect the number of new infections to rise again. now in kenya a group of environment have constructed using discarded plastic and not just a random but a traditional kenyan it's 10 meters long and weighs 7 tons. of water 3 years ago and has sailed during the last 3 weeks around lake victoria not full fun but for a mission. want to raise awareness for the environment and show that. it's possible. isn't that something well that doesn't. all of the stories on conflict slash africa were also on facebook and on twitter when we left thinking egypt has seen its time a. small

people have to say 1st to us. that's why we listen to stories reporter every weekend on b.t.w. . the nominations for this year's brit awards are a good singer to a lead but in the running for the reprisals. but she's got some stiff competition more on that coming up on arts and culture and a designer gets her dues claudia skoda created edgy looks for music legends lie. david bowie and cher now an exhibition highlights her ingenuity. and jewish humorists in germany take on anti semitism.

it's a woman's world at this year's brit awards and that is a big change last year the brits were criticized for nominating only male acts in the best album category this year there are 4 women nominated and only one male artist. to chart topper duleep but is the best known nominee in the running with her album future in astrology. is also. don't. do nobody culture reporter mike your crew goes here for more about this year's brit award nominations might do a leap was got 3 nominations this year she already won a grammy for this album is this just going to be the dually push of maybe maybe but they also see 2 other female musicians was 3 nominations and 1st of all we have

celeste she has won the last in the category rising star and and now she's nominated for best female solo artist full best album and breakthrough artist she's a soul sensation originally from california and now she's british and she has this remarkable voice. sounds. yes she does. she does and she's also a great songwriter has also written songs for a couple of soundtracks and also 3 nominations in the same categories for pox also newcomer from london very cool thats it. so together was doing these strong women on the leading the race for the awards but

it's some stiff competition ok so that a lot of words are about british music of course but there are also these international categories best international male artist best international female artist who should we watch out for there it's a bit confusing i was a bit surprised at the bruce springsteen nomination because he's the old rock he's from another generation and i don't thing that so many younger ones still know him but he has good chances to win also an award by the way the record labels have a big influence over who gets nominated sort of clothes we have the most successful artists like. taylor swift for example she has just tricked the 1000000000 mark on you tube in just a few months with her latest song ok you as a music lover as a culture journalist just briefly who do you think should weigh should win. is

a very good word for it because i don't thing that she's going to win but i keep my fingers crops crossed for us and she is just special. nominated for peanuts total artist her voice is so fine diva obscure but maybe she's just not mainstream enough for to say we're going to have to see the brits are on may 11th micah griego thanks so much thank you. now to a sashing designer elle magazine calls one of the women who defines 20th century style claudia skoda created net ware for singers donna summer cher tina turner and david bowie now scored his hometown of berlin is celebrating her with an exhibition of her designs the show's already been postponed twice because of the coronavirus but it's now viewable online and here on t w arts and culture. the exhibition dressed to thrill celebrates the heady early

days of cow disco does career in the 1970 s. and eighty's. the fashion designer was a key figure in west berlin underground scene. her work was considered a fun card. does sign of a card is what the other said i never said to myself now i'm going to be out on cards it just happened somehow. or we simply did what we wanted of life and berlin was a bit freer back then and you can go about things in a playful way. and. also. surrounded by the berlin wall and east germany west berlin was a little island of freedom claudius presented her clothes in an industrial complex and in her loft in a former factory building which she called somebody you know a group of creatives who were like a family to her lived and worked there scotus fashion shows were like happenings or

performances with models who danced their way down the runway these recordings give a sense of the energy and mood of those days. even though given the police energy was pushed in part by our status as a kind of island we could move around within a certain framework and then we wanted to really move a lot because there was nothing outside we wanted ever. thing to be beautiful and exciting and interesting and also meaningful but gotten smaller. david bowie and iggy pop lived in berlin in the mid 1970 s. band of course claudia skoda hung out with the city's creatives attended her runway shows musicians and artists such as martine kicking back he photographed her in a subway station posing with her knitting machine as if it were a guitar. photographer jim high kito also took

portraits of her the other photos in the exhibition are almost all by well known artists evidence of scott as excellent connections. as we did things for the sheer pleasure of it because we just wanted to do them and i had support from all of my artist friends my fabric noise family from everyone really but i probably couldn't have done it on my own as little cloudy or whatever it was so i thought. and so she became the great cloud skoda who makes fashion into a work of art. i. makes people laugh of course but crew for groups that face oppression they can also be a way to process trauma here in germany a group of jewish cartoonists and humorists are using jokes to cope with discrimination the book is ironically called anti semitism for beginners.

that's art mr goldberg your account is in the red surprising given your surname. you're converting to judaism why we want to become part of the global conspiracy these are some of the satirical cartoons found in miriam how the. anti semitism for beginners which pokes fun at anti jewish stereotypes the new york born writer of jewish descent who has german roots came up with the book project at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. immediately old conspiracy theories started circulating like the jews are to blame for the coronavirus that really bothered me. so i told myself i no longer want to get angry i want to laugh about this instead. we're at berlin's jewish literature tour bookstore books from our yellow publishing house germany's 1st jewish publisher of

children's books are on sale here. founded 11 years ago these days she's also releasing books for adults like the kosher comics. who feel more. jewish humor takes a difficult or a sad situation or what have you. and exaggerates it or adopt a new perspective on it. and that creates a sense of relief. you. come on in russian she wish novelist but in your come you know has lived in berlin for 30 years is humorous works about everyday life of one in millions of fans he contributed a satirical text high bush himself and says humor is perfect for countering anti-semitic conspiracy theories. therefore it was wrong of course but it's

a nice fantasy imagining of china does not simply circle the sun that someone is actually directing communicating and controlling everything. but i don't think it's the jews. at least not those i know. the bestselling author says the humor in his novels stems from portraying tragic scene. is that of course remaining detached is key. i've always had this detachment from the world given my jewish roots which i never chose. we were always treated like strangers we were always outsiders kind of like living in a guest house. but that i believe has helped me over the years ago out of the good quote from you know i'm sorry jokes about jews and jewish humor are not the same thing. and. the. kids used to. kid me on come out performing the jews are to blame

a satirical song written in 1931 by flea holland mocking the nazis anti semitism. in holland our german composer and humorist of jewish descent who was later forced to flee to the us. square has been named in his honor vivian cano often performs holland. she's also contributed a satirical text to me on how to push bombs and colleges. and deal with it whether it's a virus spreading or a runny nose whether it's a failed relief package or a heavy cough whether it's climate change or rising sea levels whether it's a prolonged holiday or wages being cut the jews are to blame the jews are to blame for everything and i'm sure she says humor is the best way to tackle anti semitism . because it's so grotesque and absurd that 75 years after the end of the war we're

still asking ourselves have people learned from the past and you feel that no they haven't that's why miriam her book is so fantastic because at the end of the day laughing is the best medicine. is the best the middle. and so miriam had the sham plans to continue publishing books that provide a humorous and lighthearted take on jibberish life. for more arts and culture news check us out at d.f.w. dot com slash culture but for now i'll leave you with some images from spain where traditional perceptions ahead of easter have been canceled now for a 2nd year in a row to the coronavirus now some people in the city of savannah are visiting a holy week exhibition instead.
