close to hers the big state. trooper includes stuart's makes it into the hall and w. . this is live from berlin as india is overwhelmed by a giant surge in coves 19 cases accusations emerge that the government ignored scientists warning about a new and more dangerous virus it's now being blamed for its devastating surge of infections and also coming up north korea accuses the united states of hostility

and warns that president obama will face consequences for calling. security. and funerals resume in israel for victims of a stampede at a jewish festival calls for an inquiry are growing as israelis demand accountability tragedy at a site from a long history of safety. spicer welcome to the program. as india battles an unprecedented surge of covert 19 infections and deaths a group of scientists says warnings made in march about a new more dangerous variant were ignored by the government we'll talk to our correspondent about that in a moment but 1st a look at the overall situation hospitals continue to be overwhelmed by the crisis as india's vaccine rollout is hampered by a shortage of shots. people lie in the corridors of this hospital in magia

projects. those with a bed hardly better off without oxygen relatives can only watch as their loved ones run out of breath. we haven't got any oxygen at all now that's what put her in a prone position so that she can feel some relief i asked the hospital but they can't give me any because they don't have it either that my. precious oxygen is delivered to this hospital in delhi under police escort but it comes too late supplies ran out about an hour earlier 8 people died waiting. we told them that we're doing the best we can despite the lack of oxygen and what was about to happen we begged them to arrange oxygen from anywhere they can. medical supplies are flying in from germany ventilators and from russia vaccines

once a vaccine exporter india is now desperate for imports. several states have run out of vaccines even as the inoculation campaign expands to all adults. those who get a shot you know they are among the lucky ones. of the situation is this unique enough was that. it was there and explained the situation is excuse you give the system is that you go for that and that's the reason why great to get vaccinated as possible but these lines in punjab vaccinations seek to vote or cramming together in a shrine religious gatherings have been partly blamed for india's corona virus outbreak even prime minister nuri andhra modi joined the crowds some indians blame his leadership for the crisis like this woman who. her father you have been

a big figure in the world did you see the compensation for somebody who cheated you on cylinder 4 did you believe that that is going to i. think i've got i didn't get it so you know you guys have really got to let everybody. across india anger burns like so many funeral pyres. it's heartbreaking scenes of course let's go to our correspondent here choudhry in delhi for more. we've been hearing reports that a group of scientists advising the indian government warned of a new and more dangerous virus variant but was ignored what do you know about that . oracle site in places that it was all a little late december last year old and new well we to the fullest the of the wires as you said they have come out and said they wanted to go ahead and sanction

it next you don't believe the ocean shaking the number and i think it will be a new story that she knew quite well and you just as well and so i love to butt out there saying that the government did not beat these one me he died at the c.g.i. government duleep body like agent of body organizing massive elections in different states the counting of which is being done today as we speak we also have the government allowing religious congregations to go on for a couple of months and we saw a large number of cases coming out and there is that i had one particular scientist on this forum has also said that the government did not take into account science and evidence when it came to making policy to kind of the good to see research and has the government actually responded to these accusations yet. well it looks like the government of not just wanted to be the accusations but again you have not seen the government just on many courtney questions which obviously since the 2nd week started what the asking instead is a disappointing political game happening so we have not seen

a lot of concerts coming from the government. and you know i'm not going to tell you what's going on the ground but the latest numbers of course that this is the deadliest day of the pandemic in india the world is reacting with whatever help it can muster but how are people coping with these tragic facts on a daily basis like sam many people i do want to have the time to look for these good news and tragic of course they're seeing many people out. there to see them said those why not how busy to their loved ones and i reject the medical necessity the definition the out death made the situation this can be figured out from the fact that just a few weeks out of the government that big will be nationwide not down in fact the finest instead said that. the mental or in fact many can imagine dots i'm not actually pushing for a nice white not i'm guessing that is the situation. ok correspondent

choudhry in delhi thanks so much for that insight. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. a massive fire ripped through dozens of fuel tankers in the afghan capital kabul late on saturday killing 7 people the fire spread to several homes and a gas station and also caused a power outage it is not yet known if the blaze was an accident or an act of sabotage. or a fire has broken out in the iranian chemical factory near the city of qom several explosions were heard but authorities say firefighters managed to stop the fire from reaching the plant's alcohol tanks several firefighters are reported to be injured with one in critical condition there are confirmed cern's residents could be affected by toxic smoke from the blaze. for astronauts from the international space station have landed successfully off the coast of florida the splash landing

of the space x. vessel was the 1st in darkness since the apollo 8 moon mission in 1988 the journey back to earth took 6 and a half hours. and we turn now to the latest war of words between the united states and north korea. has hit back at u.s. president joe biden after he described its nuclear program as a serious threat to world security. north korea accuses the us of pursuing a policy of hostility and warns there will be consequences. this week north korea has been putting on a show for the 10th congress of the socialist patriotic youth league but while the crowds were due to flee fawning over their leader kim young. diplomats were preparing a response to the us president. in a statement released online they said the u.s.

has no insulted the dignity of our supreme leadership this is an evident sign that it is good thing itself up for an all out showdown with the d.p. r. k. . who want of was came in response to joe biden's comments to congress on thursday. honorine in north korea nuclear programs are present serious threats to american security and security the world we're going to be working closely with our allies to address the threats posed by both of these countries through its through diplomacy as well as stern to turns thank you in $20000.00 was the 1st u.s. president to meet with a north korean leader their mutual affection brought on by its a moratorium on long range missile testing though it feel to bring about peace. is to make matters worse beyond yang hits their southern neighbors after defectors

this week used balloons to scott's a thousands of leaflets on dollars across the north. we've warned south korea of the consequences their silent approval of the defectors will have a north south relations. don't want. to see the group is being investigated by police in the south under a controversial new law such leaflet drops are illegal if i'm asked for my soul and to appease it cirrhotic neighbor as always hard to understand what's going on in north korea but fortunately we're joined by aden foster carter an expert on korea at leeds university in the u.k. . could you tell us is this latest rebuke from north korea just more posturing or should we be taking this more seriously i think it's mainly posturing i mean here we go another week and they fire a triple volley from the multiple squid launcher system as you might call it 3

statements as your correspondent sent i mean but that 2 of them both and the lower level one from a foreign ministry spokesman not name one from a department head in the foreign ministry and of course kim. sister kim you know joel who is smalling at the at the south koreans so they can he wants us to take notice and here we are talking about it it's all over the wires and the headlines but i think it's it's posturing i would call it getting your retaliation in so just as the phrase goes we know that the bite in the new u.s. administration's policy review on north korea which has been trail a little bit leaked a little bit is coming out quite soon and the north koreans want to remind us as if we don't get it for one moment that they are on lot of pushover this is i'm not i think the last word to president by now well thanks for bringing it up because of course me got a new u.s. president and the biden administration is hardly showing any signs of wanting to go glad hand with with the north korean leader and has promised instead to quote

pursue a calibrated political approach what do you think they mean by that. this is actually interesting so in a way my 1st reaction was disappointment to being disappointed with north korea because although we do have to wait for the full document and they've taken that time over it really say they clearly the biden ministration is kinda trying to do something different and of course it's not new but he has sold the north korea question but what do you not do well you don't do like trump go straight in with a summit razzmatazz show business but then not really bother about working level talks detail so you know besides the showbiz nothing actually happened but equally you don't do what biden said democratic precess who have close by and served as vice president barack obama did sokol strategic patience which sort of means doing anything very much they want to say biden wants to engage north korea in a calibrated calculated way control ridge it seems to be

a thing we talked about in the days in the cold war for those of us arose and remember that the north koreans assange well playing but i don't think that's their loss but their economy is in quite a mess they don't want to be 100 percent dependent on china which is how they're going to end up being so let's wait and see i hope biden will be patient even if they find something other than rhetoric which i fear they will in the coming weeks and months and then then that's ok foster carter from leeds university an expert on north korea so thank you for that insight thank you. israel is holding a day of national mourning for the victims of a stampede at a jewish pilgrimage site then chills and funerals are also being held this weekend for the 45 people killed during that omer festival at mt moron at least 10 children and teenagers are among the 10. flags are lowered at half mast in jerusalem. a tribute to those who died in one of israel's worst

coronavirus pandemic is hitting the poor especially hard many have lost their jobs and are strong. to feed their families. fairly or gomez starts her day early she gets up at around 4 am worried about having enough food for her 4 children to have breakfast. i wake up with the feeling of being in agony i jump out of bed in the 1st thing i do is thank god i'm alive i look at my children and think to myself today i'll bring home some food for them i leave the house early to fetch bread there are days when i can't manage to bring them anything but they run out of the night. gomez lives in a for valor of around a 100000 people in sao paolo here and across brazil unemployment hit a record high last year this community association helps people living in marginalized areas to find work. we had an 84 percent increase in demand

for employment after the government's emergency aid ended and the number of people seeking our help tripled because so many people didn't have any support anymore and it. up. in december government aid of around $84.00 euros a month was cut making an already difficult situation for many much worse. the number of people living on less than 36 year is more than doubled many families stopped cooking with gas and started using firewood 27000000 brazilians live in extreme poverty were not attacked daily has been researching the favelas for 20 years. know how to pull the data shows that the poorer you are the higher the rates of infection. the more on the periphery the person finds themselves in the higher the death rate from coronavirus. brazil has added 2000000

more people to the marginalised areas in the past year it's not ethical that brazilians have to choose between going hungry or getting the virus it's an ethical . no hatch. 4 adults live in the home of sylvia hayes us she's a cook and the only one still to have a job but it's just one day a week she used to cook in other people's homes but they let her go for fear of infection. that this pandemic is difficult it's going to leave all of us starving and that's apart from all the damage it does to your health look at this q we're all in the same boat don't have. that problem of the melba with a shortage of vaccines and hospitals overwhelmed it's hard to see a way forward for people in the lowest social groups who are trapped by both poverty and disease. despite

a 3rd lockdown france has one of the highest rates of copd infections in europe the government is trying to contain the spread of the virus with a massive vaccination campaign. places like these are the new beacon of hope for the french the study fast just north of paris is one of more than 100 new huge vaccinations and just across the country all of us can handle a combined effect this is a mega operation we are now able to administer mass vaccinations in this center we will inoculate about $10000.00 people per week for neatly organized be a part of a national effort to end this crisis. people here are relief they're finally getting help the stadium is located in france's most destitute departments and sunny which has also been hit hardest by the epidemic with about 800 new infections

per 100000 inhabitants each week. i really hope to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel it's what we need things have been very worrying for a year now and although we try to make an effort and stay reasonable it's getting the range of little to live without social contacts since our group at the department of sense and the me is very badly affected by the epidemic the numbers keep skyrocketing it's high time they do this if it's not already too late a faster vaccination campaign is key to the country's latest strategy to fight cope with 19 the government just decreed a 3rd nationwide lockdown but it's only a 4 week lockdown light and this time people are even told to spend more time outside this very ologist is not sure that'll be enough to bring the epidemic under control. used. by people longer.

we will need to vaccinate 10 percent of the french population with 2 jabs for the spread of the virus to start slowing down. now. and our infection numbers are very high as we didn't impose a strict lockdown earlier this year like other countries with that said a 4 week lockdown seems rather optimistic. a sightseeing tour in moscow concert with a dose of the russian sputnik by taxing this business model is gaining momentum in russia and demand is high especially among german tourists. with a tiny needle prick and a covert 1000 vaccine sputnik v. enters heintz get pink n l's bloodstream. it's certified as being highly of acacias pinker known as one of

several germans who pay 2000 euros for a vaccination vacation his wife is also getting a dose of sputnik v. . just for the richards a few great i didn't even feel the job. it also means we can look forward to being able to travel again in future israel has said it will open up to people who've been vaccinated on public matters i wasn't off. the 2 departed from frankfurt today go. they're among the 1st 18 tourists who booked the 4 day trip to moscow. their return at the beginning of may for a 2nd job. then dutch are coming but you can't count on getting a vaccination in the near future in germany to be honest i think we're being sensible the more people are vaccinated the sooner we recharge immunity to it. the media are out in force to meet the would be vaccine knees russia's government is happy to get one sputnik v. to be a top export 60 countries have certified it for use the european union is more hesitant

doubts have been raised about its efficacy so the kremlin could see vaccine tourism as good publicity. tour operator world visitor welcomes the business. sure operator we at least have work for some of our stuff and generate some revenues we otherwise wouldn't have done for russia it's peor and solves a couple of german problems as well. sputnik the is available to all russian citizens free of charge but only 30 percent of them are interested a quick straw poll shows many welcome the fact that germans are coming to moscow for their shots. if they've got problems of vaccines in germany they should come here i don't think it's bad. that. they should come to russia where the best. with them let them have their vaccinations our vaccine is very good. group even

though sputnik field isn't even certified yet the next few weeks will see quite a few more vaccine vacationers. heading to moscow visitors says bookings are surging. sweden has taken a unique approach to the corona virus pandemic that governments lock down palm. he was much lighter than in neighboring countries though the death toll is quite high the approach still has its supporters. sweden seen as the land of sweet liberty for those chief in against coronavirus closures curfews and mandatory masks while most of europe has been in various stages of lockdown over the last year swedes have been skiing shopping dining and drinking restrictions in swedish restaurants mean giving customers space and closing at 8 pm i think we have

taken away a round hole for the tables so we have one meters per bank gun jimmy head waiter at the concern and restaurant in stockholm says sweden's done it right tourists from belgium from crawls from inland from czech republic they come we're taking you we were a case you. just feel the freedom the architect of this model state epidemiologist anders tecno who did basically the same as many other countries who do this it sounds like a different free for all trying to do i think sweden has tried maybe a bit more than not a system to pinpoint what exactly we do need to close but technically different way has seen sweden record a far higher death toll than its closest neighbors finland and norway a comparison he rejects they all flyers sweden. very much more true but you all stray even germany and sweden these. $5.00 to $10.00 countries for

at least excess mortality seen europe but sweden's care homes in particular were hit hard last year and still now hospitals warn intensive care units are nearly overwhelmed take masks for example understand mel doesn't believe they're very effective so on public transportation writers are urged but not required to mask up during rush hours few appear to do so some feel that's a failure of the government's covert $1000.00 communications strategy at least journalism professor christian christianson says the lax approach to mask wearing exposes inequalities in swedish society in danger inc especially minorities you're seeing people who are probably in lower paying jobs service industry jobs must take public transportation there on park trains in the morning day in day out with hundreds of people in a small container i think it's reasonable to ask like you know might that not be

a possible public health problem if they make it more tighter that everyone should make it and should wear a mask that would be very important and maybe we could have spare some life so a new emergency law gives the government temporary power to impose a lockdown but it hasn't been used well polls show some swedes have lost faith in their country's approach to stuff lloyd blood isn't one of them he still trusts in ender's techno here a person like this different kind of way to handle a crisis in the world we did it in a way where people still could have a lot of their freedom and for me freedom is really important blood support isn't likely to fade quickly last year he immortalized the epidemiologist on his epidermis.

the 77 percent said. this week the show is all about the freedom to say what she wants when you want to and how you want. to this is by no everywhere. and seeing how negative is to targeted and killed in. the ministry now 20 millimeter embrace. the 77 percent. slow internet connections are a growing problem. but back to the scene change with the help of a small army of hundreds of many thought a light. orbit the earth and send their data all over the world. the 1st sign of life have already been fantastic. high speed internet from outer

space. the 5 minutes on d w. bloodline to us is on this way to bring you more conservation. how do we make super screen or how can we protect habitats we can make a difference the idea is to play a mental series a game global something goes a long do you believe and all mine. hello and welcome to the 77 percent where in uganda's capital. and this week the show is all about the freedom to say what you want when you want . and how you want does want to go out for you will meet a young south african fighting for justice in his community. we find out how zimbabwean comedians use satire to bypass oppression.

and we'll hear how young women in south sudan are breaking down barriers to talk about energy from the. back but it's a trying the universal declaration of human rights freedom of speech and from the basic principle it means the freedom to express your mind your opinions without the fear that your governments might punish you i take legal action against you but you want to hear from the so we asked around one of freedom of speech really mean to you. jimi freedom of speech means. all the wearability my power to express your results share without restraint we'd all just feel really live their lives i think is what everybody works.

for the most because i love being a citizen i love the lead as opposed to you know be able to express my views without trying to clamp down without trying to sell me what's the nice what you all choose is very hard to use i'll be teaching the policy was so about values people hold the book toward your heart. which still maintains that you saw we did it all but in the law of conscience all i do institutional and some of our laws. i'll be human as is the end all that i have souls so really what we need supplies.

you know it didn't. here's a scenario for you it's election time 100 titian's are throwing around from mrs i quite often money left right and center. as the election is over they just vanish so one young man kept on the south africa was tired of what he considered to be and to promises and when there is once again minister visited we'll just see for yourself. i have never communicated now who i lie and we have you on record but you had your own resources. to talk nonsense i am saying that for now until i was

a confrontation between a politician and an activist caught on camera by social justice activist. boy. in the video minister for human settlements lindiwe sisulu orders what boy to swear to his camera and calls him a liar. the background of the incident in january 2021 ministers he superceded the taiwan and foremost settlement in cape town. a few days earlier a fire had described 150 shacks. and rendered hundreds of people homeless. because he cannot walk boy who is part of the group of activists who have been supporting the residents affected by the fire followed the minister during the day on her tour. twenty's who promised support for the victims he confronted her. as they are walking towards their cars i then shouted from the back and said minister let's hope that you want to the same thing that you did in polynesia in

march 2020 where you promised to to rebuild 49 structures that were demolished as the result of an unlawful order legalisation she reached for my phone and slipped it and it fell into the ground and it is in that point that i you know a lot of my safety was a bit compromised because the boarding cards are all dead the police officers in tried to hold. the minister's entourage manhandled the activist and ordered him to delete the footage a bystander filmed the encounter that shows swat boy gesturing and refusing to give up his phone. at that moment the future for my life because we've seen these into things happening and we've seen how activist a targeted and killed as a result of holding politicians to account. but the story doesn't end there a few days after the incident news portal e.w. and reported that the minister wanted to open

a criminal case against. it's not unfounded and explains constitutional law expert to force politicians obvious servants of the people into our constitutional court and so they're accountable to the citizens in many different ways to institute legal action or even criminal action was an empty threat they said no to law that allows for this what people in power often do they threaten legal action to try and intimidate people and that's exactly i think what happened. back in the taiwan informal settlement because he cannot meet up with community spokes person. it's been over 3 months since the incident he wants to see what has happened on the ground since minister visited. the site where the fire broke out not much has changed. today we haven't get any

assistance from the from the government people have little to their legs from the scrap material material is a can see these are the band benches and so they're not safe at all when it's raining. people be flooded. flooding and fire with the people who need a well built homes to protect them from both and says what boy they must learn to articulate their needs and not accept whatever petitions tell them. we must charge within ourselves and find the time it's. called and voice out if we don't. want to. swat boy we'll continue to fight for accountability he knows until africa and elsewhere in the world it requires active citizens to defend basic human rights. so it is possible to confront even the highest ministers although as we just saw it's not always

a risk free here in uganda for example speaking openly and honestly can sometimes land you in hot water the country is right a 100 and 55th out of 180 countries on the freedom of speech and press in the state to 20 so it's no wonder that one young man here the decision to express himself turned into a 6 week like me. you had to go once but he came and put a block over my head and 2 pieces of metal when settled in me here and here. then they injected me with something here. these are the scars of a parent torture the injuries of k'nex are still fresh allegedly inflicted by ugandan security forces in the aftermath of the january 2021 elections it was a tightly 4 to election contest between uganda's longtime president yoweri museveni

and his much younger opponent the musician turned politician robert schalk a line otherwise known as bobby wine but when all was over the fight went on the president was 7 years troops raided the opposition offices and. to be sought out the wind supporters. can disagree i remembers how he was lured to a location in kampala on january the 22nd when he arrived he says security forces forced him into the back of a fact. who was about to go through it. called me from the front but then they chained them and hunk of me from behind so i was hunk of like this house transported in this position that he would. move. then the person who was sitting behind came and sat on me like this and told me to surrender to pass rick to my form but i refused. not going over

there the reason why i refused to surrender the password to my phone is because i had just communicated with my people i feared he would want to take them to as a result i was beaten up and tortured if you. like him hundreds of people were arrested and many of them are still missing more than 50 people were killed by security forces according to the united nations the policeman took kenneth back to his house they confiscated all his election related documents campaign material and posters of the presidential candidates bobby wine then they put him in a cell where 80 other prisoners were already being held. inside the cell people were not able to sit where they would lie on their backs like this

because they were beaten they were beaten everywhere on their joints like this. and they are wounds where it was in past and blood they used to beat your joints until you could no longer some were injected with something in their back and most people were wounded really the situation was not good at all inside there. he spent several weeks in the holding cell where he was tortured again and again chemist's wife year barry was also briefly detained but quickly released due to her advanced pregnancy she gave birth while kenneth was still in jail. for a while the clinic was taken and around 2 weeks after i had given birth they came and threw tear gas into our house. not even i was sleeping and it was about

midnight and i heard movement behind the house we knew. they came and they threw a chair gas canister right through the bathroom window you know i just ran away with my baby you know and she still has problems with her eyes as a result of that a cast on what i'm going to miss of a civil suit which candidate didn't know any of this until much later he spent 6 weeks in jail and he was asked to sign a confession over and over again. well got a grammy award the prosecutor told me to say that it will be one is planning to work through the government using the help of foreignness while president was 70 he was elected by the people of uganda. they wanted to hear that would be one wants to bring violence in the country yet 70 has to maintain peace in the country then he told me that after agreeing to confess i'll be given 500000000 ugandan shillings

which is about 115000 euros and i told them that i can't confirm that he told me i am stupid and i do not understand and that this is how i will die die in poverty. woman 2 i'm ready for women to are going to work for kenneth was released on bail and officially charged as a common nuisance it was 7 years government strategy seems simple by forcing confessions they want to criminalize the opposition in order to legitimize their rule and regain the trust of the people but that seems difficult after all that has already happened i need justice in my country for nice. people every day every night and doing for announcing fighting for their mission so i'm doing this because i need chance to see coming.

well we can all agree that that's a difficult situation but i want us to stay in the region and hop over the border something that i guarantee you is not that you feel things are good doing but on let's see what comes from south sudan where we're meeting some young women who thought well we don't only want to change politicians or challenge them we also want to change and challenge our entire society so they started a radio show called gender talk to 11 where they talk about feminism because believe it or not issues like registration or childbirth but also just women raising their voices are still things that people believe we should run behind closed doors. today is a show day for eva she's presenting gender talk to 11 radio show ended opening up the conversation around gender equality and women's rights in south sudan. today we are tracking the most controversial topic that may happen on this show. and i'm

going to. feminism that's a word that still in south sudan it's a patriarchal society where women are expected to bear children and you're on the household they really involved in decision making outside their homes we have nose bases that are comfortable enough for women to talk about their issues or to talk about their struggle or our spaces that give women an opportunity to create ate something better for themselves changing the narrative we want to do with this with this radio show. gender stereotype single motherhood menstruation the discussions covered daily life challenges for women with a clear agenda to shake up the norms and then we have also religion and. religion values then poking about to be. arrested on the woman. but gender talk to 11 is not only by women for women

co-hosts. amber you piaa is determined to prove that men can also be feminists. we feel that women are supposed to handle issues in the set up by rand then come up just like to talk about some of these things i don't men who are a bit jaded as those who have not been realizing that they actually played a huge draw all in i believe firmly in strides with the 2 also speak of us with gen the talked to 11 on the launched a few months ago but the story started i'm social media 10 a passionate women's rights activist is the person who came up with the idea. i started trying to understand women's rights and i think that's always floating got sucked into the world process to just see you know where it goes human beings and to just realize the oppression and the discrimination the women and girls face to just open my eyes to a road gender dynamics that i didn't see ask issues growing up because we soon

realized. like many young south sudanese only well grew up in exile the country was a war a few years after its independence from sudan in 2011 she came back and took up a fight. the fact that people are getting roughed up means you're touching nerves that people don't want to be touched still believe he's challenging the beautiful thing in 5 minutes inside syria and i do have a lot of you know young men and i'm grateful feminist. identity and the show gained a good number of fans but the negative comments on social media also took their toll it's basically insults it's harassment but i think sticking through it somehow it was sort of what's trying to define our spaces as women online as well you know it's not the big one mental and so to me retreat and i think when you're just fighting but especially or minus been very helpful because i'm in a state now where they know big break. and while they're fighting back they're holding fast on bringing the message to those who need it most the women. some of

us go through things and they don't understand that that's not the norm it's not supposed to be like that there needs to be a change to happen if we don't have those conversations i don't see any change happening. toeing the line between traditional and modern life while at the same time fighting discrimination is no easy task but the fact that these young women making their voices heard is already proof that some change is on the way. wow some incredibly strong women there making their voices heard but you know in many parts of the world there and written and sometimes even written rules about what you can say or can't say in uganda for example absolutely no one would criticize the king of gondor who still plays a central role in this society but there are similar rules in different countries and there are always ways to bend these rules in zimbabwe a group of young people are doing this through comedy and a quick warning before we head into this report the 1st scene shows

a woman apparently giving birth but it's a skit by the comedians it's not real and the people involved have given us permission to show it so no worries. this is a parody but it reflects the reality. we're lucky. little moment here tonight all of the terms are for to talk about constantly this arc of battle for 2000. many zimbabweans still don't have access to good health care. in their weekly skits maggie and 2 young female comedians talk about the daily issues affecting their fellow citizens. a lot of women are facing difficulties. delivering their babies. who finding many lives was when the flaw so my giving bev in public transport was it's. said the channel bus stop t.v.

started as an experiment among friends they posted this get some social media and then they quickly grew in popularity. and that's what we thought. we. would vote for so. they decided to reproduce these conversations skits and spies by the news and real life experiences. just before the start of the covert $900.00 pandemic and even launched the show in a minibus but you to the pandemic that show had to be halted social issues governance mission or governance service delivery so such issues of is that we cover but there's still time to topics insulting the president for example is punishable by law to find a way always find a way to just do a skit and. know what's going on in the country although this is talking of what

a.b.c. . after the ousting of former president robert mugabe who was in power for 37 years had hoped for better days but they call it is in ruins and those who criticize authorities are still being silenced. bust up t.v. offers an alternative to the mainstream news and by disguising their messages in humor they try to avoid government censorship. yes just not what we're going to get your next meal and in the meantime you'll get from bus stop and you laugh so bad when you make fun of the situation we're not going to give it lightly but we're actually telling you how things are. like when talking about police violence but what pains outlet to assure the nation that we did not promote violence it's something that the team members experienced 1st hand i was i don't think last year i guess last year yeah after doing as kids. kids we
