restore peace in myanmar the general's attendance has been questioned by human rights groups who say any participation by the honda legit allies as quote the genocidal slaughter being committed by the military regime activists say more than 700 people have died in the military and police crackdown on protesters demanding out of town to democracy in myanmar u.n. secretary general antonio good turner says arcee on has a crucial role to play to end the crisis a crisis which plays out on the streets of the country every day. they still have to leave in the en mass democracy. crushing the 3 finger salute a symbol of resistance citizens have been protesting since to february 1st coup. but the demonstrations have often been met with lethal force. it's

a crisis that looms over the region and the united nations hopes this weekend's meeting could help bring a resolution. as a result is mark crucial than ever as the region faces an urgent crisis in myanmar idea that regional actors leverage that if ones to prevent further deterioration and ultimately find the peaceful way out of this catastrophe but so far the response from the regional actors has been divided indonesia has taken on an active row it says it has been pursuing a solution through dialogue and is hosting the meeting. jakarta also sent its foreign minister to thailand for the 1st international face to face with the junta government after the coup. yes safety and well even if i conveyed that the safety and well being of the people of myanmar is the number

one priority. we ask all parties to exercise restraint and not use violence to avoid casualties and bloodshed at. malaysia singapore and the philippines have also voiced similar concerns others such as cambodia a more reserved leader hunston has refused to comment on the situation in myanmar saying it's an internal affair. and then there is thailand despite feeling what it called gravely troubled by the casualties of the crisis the country has been criticized for turning refugees away. we have spoken to those who enter thailand and ask them if they had any problems in their area if they say they had no problem we just asked them to return we ask we did not use any

force. similar criticism has also hit india a nonmember of ours ian but a close neighbor of myanmar. it field is north eastern border after a steady stream of people who try to flee into to state of missouri. according to you and at least 250000 people have already been displaced by the hunters crackdown this year. evonne luxman ies a political scientist and senior researcher of the center for strategic and international studies in jakarta and joins me from there welcome mr luxmore indonesia has been pushing for this special leaders' meeting for some time now and now that it's happening what can we expect from it well the best case scenario would be for the leaders to agree on a commitment to do one to do 2 things one is to ensure that there is an us and let mechanism to address the crisis in men mara number 2 that mechanism should include

a framework to end the violence currently to deliver humanitarian aid and to potentially facilitate a myanmar lead and a myanmar on dialogue process among all the stakeholders. human rights groups servitor by talking to cool you know general mean on hearing is illegitimacy in his government to these people have a point i think what is happening right now is a recognition of reality not legitimacy legitimacy is something the people of myanmar has to decide from themselves what ason is doing right now is recognizing that currently the main goal of the summit is to end the violence and the one that's doing the violence is the military so therefore we called the military to the summit to get them to stop the violence you also said earlier that it's important that all stakeholders in myanmar sit down and talk speaking of those 3

callers were talking about the ouster of democratic government would it not have been better to invite them as well to this austrian leaders' meeting. again the goal of the summit as it stands right now is to end the violence 1st and foremost the goal of the summit is not to negotiate a settlement just yet because for such dialogue to be taking place we have to 1st and the violence and i deliver humanitarian aid which was necessary to create the space that would allow such a dialogue to take place so it should be very in mind that the summit or the meeting tomorrow is not a venue to nikos shaped settlement just yet it is about ending the violence that can lead to debt settlement down the line how united odd aussie on member nations in their approach to myanmar i mean the leaders of thailand in the philippines on attending and thailand is also a major trade partner for me and modern you also have our border and vietnam which

are essentially one party states so i'm wondering how united is this grouping it is certainly not all united i thing a different members have different urgency to the crisis they certainly have different interests and stake with the crisis right now so it is certainly not unified as it stands right now which is why i think the process of convening this meeting took several months since the coup it hasn't been easy but i think we are at the precipice of a potential breakthrough if all the negotiations leading up to that summit goes well you belong to a thing turned does leah's a lot with the indonesian government and indonesia has been one of the promoters if i can call it off there's also meeting trying to get everybody together especially the indonesia malaysia singapore grouping what exactly is indonesia's game plan. well our hope is is obviously that any kind of solution to the myanmar crisis

should take place within an os and framework because i think this allows some acceptability played a part is in man mark and that we can hopefully solve this without external parties but of course the ideal goal of getting there would require that the violence to be ended and we can deliver aid to that effect and we've done this before so this is not our 1st stance which is why we always try to make sure that our 1st option is to try to solve this within the family framework one last question so no throughout its history also member states of germany tended to focus on economic cooperation more than political issues is this a pivotal moment for the role that ends up playing here i think it is certainly the case that the meeting itself is not scheduled that this is not a normal asan calendar year the fact that engine president has to call for

a special meeting shows you the gravity of the situation so it is certainly on the one hand not our 1st stance in terms of dealing with problems for myanmar but also the gravity of the situation makes it unprecedented so which is why i think we should have to see what happens tomorrow. everyone looks upon a pleasure talking to you thank you so much for this and you were having me. and before we go this weekend a rare painting by a chinese artist should hong is expected to fetch the highest price ever for an art . slave and lion we go under the hammer on saturday in hong kong inspired by us the story from roman mythology the owner on canvas painting is viewed as one of the most important in chinese history the artwork was painted not in asia but here in berlin in $1024.00 it could go for as much as $16000000.00 u.s. dollars.

with another landmark german novel the hunger games all by nobel prize winning author. welcome to the show well it's quite a thing to have an academy award ceremony in the middle of a pandemic and especially strange to think that because of continuing lockdowns most of those films involved have never even made it to a movie theater streaming services have largely come to the rescue both as viewing platforms and as creative engines for some high class cinema here's an overview of the nominees. make with 10 nominations is technically the front runner at this year's i ask us david finch is black and white to the golden age of hollywood is up for best film and best director gary oldman could take home a 2nd best acting oscar for his performance of the alcoholic screenwriter herman manc mankiewicz the man who wrote citizen kane. any distraction eliminated

and to finish up the week let's bring in scott ross perot for his expertise on the 2021 oscar it's great to see you scott so this is really quite something of course because the oscars are looking to be the 1st host pandemic in person award ceremony tell us a little bit about how this is going to happen this year. you know it's completely unique and still be an oscar ceremony like we've never seen before and as you say it's a it's going to be in person i mean they're going to hold in a live ceremony at the dolby theater in los angeles and also this is going to be something to see at union station which is the main train station in downtown los angeles most of the nominees will be there in person to be a limited number of them and they're also of course have to be tested in fact the nominees will have to have 3 p.c.r. negative p.c.r. tests before the ceremony for nominees who can't make it who are coming from

outside the country some of them will be piped in by a video link satellite link so it can be a huge technical challenge it'll be really interesting to see i mean it might be a really amazing show it could also be a complete disaster but will definitely be something to watch wow ok very briefly your tip on where we might see a surprise on film i think the one who can go to look at we could see it upset is best actress carey mulligan who's in the promising young woman i think she could be the upset could maybe be davis in that category but will be neck and neck we will think well thanks very much for that scott and i'd ask you to just stay with me for a moment because of course here in germany another story from the acting world has not only overshadowed any oscar suspense but it's also provoked quite a good amount of huge outrage on thursday night over 50 well known actors posted videos on you tube in which they delivered by turns out sarcastic statements

mocking or directly criticizing the german government under the hash tag i was dished which basically means shut everything down they were ostensibly a response to tighter nationwide restrictions but in no time the campaign backfired . i'm gonna do it in the next days i'm stressed it's not. that's not new. it's been a few days yet i let it all clanking inside. and the baby somewhat alive. very eager to try crew after move to give me a short legged credit knocked out of me i. wasn't. going to. dunk another media in

wenceslas and the media would make fun totems for the class hard on deaf ears on this no doubt that to him good english guns guns all that corner. land. or maybe not spac over to you scott those are quite some performances there can you tell us a little bit about the reactions. well the internet is essentially exploded i mean that's all the german twitter is is talking about right now and. the reaction i mean was immediate most of the media in germany but also most of these actors german called leagues immediately condemned these these videos and said they were they were stupid they were cynical and maybe even dangerous. to see maybe how dangerous they are or could be you can look at the people who really like them online and including a lot of far right politicians including members of the f.t.

the far right party in the german parliament who who applauded this action and say these videos show support for their actions against german lockdown policies right ok well that's obviously not a very well thought through campaign and somewhat of a of a huge embarrassment what kind of consequences do you think this might this kind of thing might haue yeah. yeah i mean basically everyone's backpedaling now i mean after this reaction a lot of the actors who are in these videos have come out and apologized they said they do not want to be associated with the far right that was not their intention in making these videos and the company that produced these videos has taken them off their main site of course they are still available online they're still circulating but they've essentially everyone he's backpedaling it's just one huge mess all the more shocking perhaps when you think that just 2 days ago we were talking about health film and television were actually booming here in germany has all of these particular actors are certainly doing pretty well thanks very much for

the lowdown on this unfortunate story thanks very much scott and do enjoy the oscars i'll see you on monday see a monday. well when she won the nobel prize for literature in 2009 house was 56 years old the remaining born german had just celebrated her greatest international success with a story that described the fate of many ethnic germans in transylvania after world war 2 the swedish academy praised the hunger angel for its artful fusion of poetry and prose in its depiction of the landscape of the dispossessed have you ever stolen something for your mouth in german there's a word for it. a mouth robber. was hungry would you have to be to start stealing other people's food.

cautious optimism might finally be rising again the tourism sector. and welcome to the program questions over the scandal have now reached the very top of the german government on friday. face the parliamentary committee investigating the biggest fraud in german corporate history just how did a company such as often promoted by the german government managed to hide an almost 2000000000 euro hole and its finances. a world leader arrives to testify the bundestag committee investigating the wild card scandal wants to know why chancellor angela merkel spoke on behalf of the company during a trip to china in 2019. the no insolvent payments processor committed fraud worth billions merkel has defended promoting why a card saying it's common practice for the german government to do so abroad.

despite all the press reports there was no reason to assume serious who regularly he said why a card the german chancellor told the committee. however there where already indications that something was very wrong and why a card in september 29000 when angela merkel met chinese president xi still neither the german government nor the financial regulator bothin were suspicious opposition politicians find that troubling. market entry in china also a key product. storage companies desperately needed in 2090 when so shareholders and investors and so i think not deliberately not intentionally in fact supported how in effect at least the continuation. sheet i mean relation and this is of course well it politically a mistake why a card collapse into insolvency last june after admitting to the 1900000000 euro

hole in its finances leading politicians auditors and regulators have since all been accused of major failings the big question now is whether germany is any better equipped to avoid for the large scale frauds by fin techs especially with increasing digitalisation of the financial services sector. to nigeria now which is currently facing an exodus of medical professionals a recent survey suggested 9 out of 10 doctors and nurses that are considering leaving the country heading to places like the u.k. or the united states is putting enormous strain on nigeria's already under funded health care system. reports randy moss is anxiously waiting for the birth of her grandchild she rushed had just turned the lots of this private hospital for an emergency c. section. she has been laboring says 1 am she didn't have any more that's why we

brought her here for this surgery he wants to share with me. now is the glory all here we is the owner of the hospital she's well known in the community for providing health care to people who cannot afford it. private health care providers like when you we are forced to hear the burden of nigeria asked feeling health care system most people don't have health insurance so the hospital often has to cover the bills of the patients or depend on donations if i sure wait for deposits anything can happen you want that you've got walsall that's why i don't that's what adds more and more about life meanwhile the new baby has to be born it's a girl. the mother is still in the operating room. as well waiting for the doctors to finish up the operation the power goes off and that is part of the challenges of
