literature invites us to see people in particular. i like to see my kids find strange grown up rules. the only objective is to share with a thing beautiful. did you book on youtube? ah, you're watching t v w news asia coming up today. as the taliban captures more territory, the international communities down the alarm. can anything be done to ensure the survival of the afghan government? we take a closer look. plus is this prime minister modi's vanity project? india spend big on a revamp of its capital. not everyone is happy about it. the news i melissa chant,

thanks for joining us. the united nations top envoy and afghan is dan, is sounding the alarm of taliban rebels. keep gaining territory ahead of nato's planned withdrawal. gabrielle lyons told the un security council, everything must be done to get the taliban and the afghan government back to the negotiated table. on tuesday, the islamist rebels captured afghanistan's main border crossing with its northern neighbour tajikistan. here's more of what lions had to say. more than 50 about ghana stands, $370.00 districts have fallen since the beginning of may. most districts have been that have been taken. surround provincial capitals suggesting that the taliban are positioning themselves to try and take these capitals. once foreign forces are fully withdrawn, the withdrawal decision was expected, but it speak with the majority of troops now already withdrawn,

was not all actors have had to adjust to this new reality. that is unfold. for more, we have journalist allie latifah and cobbler joining us ali. this is not looking good, but is also not a surprise. there's plenty of critics who will say, i told you so the americans should not be withdrawing thoughts. i mean, i've heard this argument before, but there's not really much room in there because the decision has been made. and i think more than saying i told her the statement or the question to be, what's happened the last 20 years? you know, why do i just paint and it's mission, you're actually conflict. it's one year later we feel like we're still able to influence people need them. you know, they're just like,

literally die for you. those to the point where they would be willing to ball themselves. so i think rather than saying i will use on the question would be my rock, you know, what did they do wrong when it happened that we're still seeing the situation? it's only getting worse now and the common from the un really can the international community do anything i can do a lot and they have been doing a lot. and so now you know, we know the government has so many times they keep calling and calling for sanctuary and apparently even been support. and they say that there is support in the, you know, the country can influence and pressure on things that are influencing directly in the war and a lot of fun. and there are, i mean, you know, the know what the courses. so there's a lot that they have been doing a lot, i think is still doing this and it hasn't been an ocean. there's no reason that

these countries are on the, on to a government to say you have to think seriously. and you've been there 11. the government has been there for the last year. one of you have to start making some real look. you know, it's a lot for anything that actually actually got over the last 20 years. i think a lot of people are wondering how seriously we should consider the possibility of a complete collapse of the afghan government and the establishment of a taliban islamists state. why? personally, i don't see it happening and i feel like i was all about have been during the last year and a half years have been going on the missions around the world. even going to enable us living even when you're in american officials, all statement thing. you can have here, i really don't think that her eyes again,

like they were like i think they still want some call support legitimacy for them to comment, override whole into killing people on my you know, bring it back in roles. i don't think that's gonna apply again and hopefully they'll realistic enough to know that you know, the only way through some kind of i mean, right now the final price, everybody for the ward. but hopefully, the reality is the only way forward in the la t p. thank you so much for joining us. thank you. afghanistan has a long history of local militia switching sides and allegiances, depending on the type of politics. this is gloria militiaman and helman. province are currently fighting the taliban. the 4th count former insurgents among their ranks. some say they've been trained by afghan stance by agency as well as foreign forces. what certain is that for now, their resistance is stopping,

though perhaps only delaying the capture of a strategic city. the gunfire at the gates left the capital of hillman problem. as these defenders of the city far on television position from a wendy, this is the front line and the fighting is going on every day. the situation isn't good. right now we are following all around us. just days ago was injured in the battle. we're fighting the taliban, he reddick stream to close quarters. the command. both of these other singaporeans, a fierce fighting force and hated by the insurgents. the militia were established in 2015, taking its name from a turkey soap opera about undercover agents. many here were recruited from the taliban emission to infiltrate and disrupt the insurgency. but for some sand

gordons, the fight is personal. as well then as my youngest son, my brother and 3 of my cousins, joined the 1st followed to tammy. and i'm not, but then i got it down. are you ready? yes. the taliban retaking more and more of f. kenneth. stand the head of the us withdrawal. the same dorians face an enemy that's better equipped and growing bolder by the day. looked neither. otherwise you should have been my mother good. we'll have the taliban use more than weapons like sniper rifles. good night vision . be night and they come in very close to target us but i was injured, but i survived. i never thought if we can even stand up in our out post that been shot and that's what i went suddenly. there's got to be a media fighting force numbering between 508000 militia is holding the line

for now. i'm like, i don't know if we send gordon's weren't here. laska guy would fall defending both entrances to the city. some of our numbers knew what the local officials acknowledge the vital role of the san gordon's in keeping the taliban at bay more pit them. i'm see, we got to look at them, see what was telling me that you know what i'm saying gore into having a big impact on the security of health problems. we're asking the government to me, israel defense, and the national security director to recruit more fighters for the same dorians to defend hillman province. while we develop the vote. but that helped my never arrive with government forces on the back foot and soon to lose american support the sand gordon's no, they're fighting with nothing to lose the

world. the central vista redevelopment project is a massive state effort in the heart of india capital to construct new government buildings including a new parliament, a residence, and office for the prime minister and museums. modi's, hindu nationalist administration has ambition to build this fast and just 5 years. critics worry about the cost, they worry about builders working through the pandemic. and they say this has more to do with modi's desire to emulate the washington ball or kremlin from the iconic investigate to the presidential palace. this historic area of india, the capital, is being transformed. it is part of an ambitious project by the national government to redevelop india, the power cord to it aims to create a joint complex of ministries and

a new parliament building among other structures. but this process has met with controversy and criticism most recently around the work being undertaken during the devastating 2nd quarter on about a week. since last year. they have been multiple partitions in court against the project on various drones, including home to the environment, headed to structures and land you. later petition demanded an immediate quote to the project on its own to the ongoing for with $900.00 fund to make the deli hi court go dismissed the petition. calling the project a work of national importance and i know, watched by a historian is part of a group trying to draw attention towards the concerns conservationists and why mentalist and historians have with the projects which we'll see historic buildings like the national museum. don't don't. last questions why the project has been designated an essential service at a time when india is facing a national health emergency. she also says the government began this monumental undertaking without any public or expert consultation. what actually happened was

that you have the biggest public health emergency that the world seen. and thirdly, that india has seen em. it's not safe to have hundreds or thousands of workers or know open construction site. all you know is the most contagious disease you've ever had. lashley, as that the resources being spent on what she calls of vanity project could have been allocated to public health and disaster management. speak 80 number a political analyst on the other hand, consider the essential with the project both timely and essential. we are the world's largest democracy, be one of the largest military powers and globally in favor economize. so a country like oz should have a great parliament willing and a super simple mr. very non the stresses that all the necessary precautions are

being taken at the construction site. yet critically, the project could not have been more ill timed. recent reports in the local media have revealed that laborers working on the site have complained of cramps living conditions, and that sample with 900 food have been confirmed amongst them as the country is still recovering from the after effects of the deadly 2nd leave. and preparing for an anticipated todd, we questions about the government for allergies in this hour of need are getting louder. that's it for today. you can get more web site d, w dot com, forward slash asia and follow us on social media. will leave you with more pictures of deli future government district and parliament building as prime minister, moody government. envision it. thanks for watching and see you tomorrow, goodbye. ah,

the news people the world over the information, they provide the opinions they want to express w on facebook and twitter today in touch. follow us on the green, the, you feel worried about the meal post of the on the green

postcard. and to me, it's clear we need to change the solution, go up and join me into the green transformation to me for the me the the scene from a midsummer night's dream. the shakespeare plants thank a doctor from by lay by american cory over her. don't know why my are performed here by his very own hamburg valet, which has been under his directions in the early 19 seventy's and here the performance actually hit the big green. well, it's

a film that's a direct result of germany. second covered lockdown. a creative upside, you might say, kicking off today's edition of arts and culture, so a warm welcome. because very few artists were quite as productive during lockdown as the 82 year old john neu. maya his midsummer night's dream set to music by mendelssohn by tale and george legatee has been part of hamburg repertoire since $977.00 performed by the world's leading companies, including the opera party and moscow's bullshit. lockdown was the chance to finally realize his vision unfilled and prepared on midsummer night, as if by magic. the preparations for a wedding at an aristocrat, a home in athens, hip holiday, the amazon queen mary ccs, because it's just one of the interconnecting plots in

a midsummer night's dream. the film version of this belly based on the play by william shakespeare, was shot in february, under locked down conditions after the premier had been rescheduled several times. so it was important to, to use this time in a good way and not to do a streaming, which for me, it is always a kind of compromise because we just sort of, you know, do a documentary of what happened on that night. but to actually do a real film. so it was, it was a very important moment for the company to rehearse, to have a goal. and actually to, to be able to do this film. the result is a compelling belly film shadow for 3 days and using 7 cameras. the lavish film production gives the realm of fairies and elves and especially magical feel. that's

underscored by the contemporary music by george, really getting the idea was to go away from the 900 century idea of a fairy world as something that's kind of twitter re and glittery. and that it is something of pure energy, very strong. a very physical, a very fast dynamic. the choreography is as complex and varied as the plot. the dancers draw from a limitless repertoire movement, even heading into slapstick territory. ah, all of that makes this show much more than simply

a ballet documentary. the touching intimacy of the lovers is made almost tangible to the viewer. shooting, took place under strict covet 19 precautions include in constant testing, the joy of making the film clearly outweighed the inconveniences. yeah, it was really such experience to go through, you know, everybody was trying to, let's say, each time the technically the same at the same time, find something new in the team. the relationship that we had each, each take to try and do it a bit different and find something between ourselves to return to live performances of the ballet won't take away any of the magic as the spill. what i really liked was the different camera position and the editing and all that to be the physical movements were amazing. that was no longer people in those costumes. that was pure fascination. the dvd of the film is being released

this summer and then anyone in the world can enjoy this classic ballet in for k quality as often as they like me. 2021 mar, 1700 years of jewish life in germany. that's an anniversary that's being marked with a year of celebration and special events, one of which was the premier, this monks in cologne of the musical farce model of rockefeller. in the starring role is dalia festa and israeli mess. soprano, who's been with the cologne opera for 25 years, a real crew for this production because alongside her classical career mistretta has a real soft spot for often forgotten yiddish songs. dolly especially, grew up on a kid book, but nowadays she feels like a cologne native. he or she is on her way to the final rehearsals for the years. musical muscle tone mouse toes can be translated as congratulations,

but that doesn't quite capture it. then i am glass of if the glass falls on the floor, you say muscle tone. then when someone gets married, you say muscles. and if there's an argument and someone slammed the door in a rage, you also say muzzle cove. you can say it in almost any situation. goggan is like my mother, the colon exits him as active in the back stage. the soprano was transformed into an eccentric cabaret singer from 1900 century odessa. she's just one of the many over the top characters in the musical. ah, these aren't in the system. it's a pretty wild evening of theater. there is a woman sitting in her alone apartment trying to celebrate pass over and over the course of the evening. several of her ancestors from various generations appeared to her and offended things get crazy on l. so she thinks her to on and on the,

on the civic, i need to get on to get reading. most of this report out i, the songs are performed which dahlia and 1st had to learn this. oh is going to have people in israel kersin yiddish or people said to me, for instance, a shane and made a la or a michel going to call me. and i was always fascinated this child. even though i didn't understand any of it. 40 sneak for stanton, hobbit me, chester, whose ancestors were from eastern europe, has recently recorded an album of songs by crack o poet motor high could be a tech who was murdered by the nazis singing his songs, means keeping them alive. we even

thought we'd try and i think he's doing this music because it's important to me because it is a need for me to mention that he does know people what it does to them. thus we meet in the mouth. oh, there hopes to open hearts with her music. and she would like audiences for muscle tone to be open to just enjoying themselves away from religion and historical memory. he shoved miss my point though about this point and i talked my friend about it and he said do a piece about living jews, not dead with water or and the jews in this piece are very much alive to since in silver for the

summer in europe. can have its upsides and its downsides, like here in the shots of an italian beach, on the adrian. this is how german photographer bound had lung prefers to look at the world from way up in the air because it allows him to capture the myriad patterns that we humans make on the surface of the earth and the obvious impact of our activities on the environment. whether good or bad is certainly worth a double take. so right voice going out now into use of his images unique photographer ban hotline puts his head outside the bubble. far outside. he shoots pictures straight down from about 1000 meters up. this time his subject is an open pitch mcknight mind the eastern german city, a compost was textures and patterns revealed. from here, i think they're very interesting. 50 year old ban hotline has been shooting

pictures of the stuff is far and wide since 2010 is photo project ariel views presents some very unaccustomed perspectives of fish bombs off the coast of greece . julia appealed in the netherlands and crew ships at sea. ah, the advertising photographer got the idea of aerial photos while looking out the window of an airplane. if he has any speed, what struck me was that pretty much the whole world, at least in our civilized regions, and especially in germany, has been shaped by human hands get started on can now these are i increase in this intervention is so radical. and so interesting to me, and i want to capture it in my own image and the band hard line has won numerous awards for his aerial views such as the renown sony world photography award for his images of the ranks and files of parasols on the overcrowded beaches of italy's

adria to coast mass tourism is abstracted and color coded mister meet with them open and i don't want to wear my finger at any one with the same for i just want to show these view builder and i want to make the pictures interesting anesthetic in terms of the present time is pictures times tax beverage crates into a kind of bond chart, plastic filter greenhouses into abstract designs and phosphate. mine's interest phantasy landscapes ah, one source hotline subjects essentially photos on the internet. but often they turn out to be outdated. this is done to me, but i see it's that's just a stimulus for me to see what it looks like now in reality, from a helicopter of about photography. oh chart months. you know, some things can't see there anymore. so it gives me an extra motivation to see what

i can actually get to the bus. my bus is the doors being removed from his side of the helicopter, so he can get just the right angles. all that keeps ban hotline on board is a single scrap, but all he's wired about his holding onto the expensive lenses. while he changes them, he gives the pilot exact directions. now let's turn along this axis for that way, and then slow down please. the open pit mine in eastern germany turns out to be a richly diverse location and a productive subject with its many and structures. after an hour in the he gets push on he wants band, hotline release. the camera shot over $700.00 times in that one hour, the least other results of today's photo shoot. now the aerial view to come to the attention of the renowned national geographic

magazine, who'll be publishing a book or ban hotlines bedside views in 2021. and we'll look forward to that much food for thought in those images from above. certainly an invitation for us to consider our effects on the planet. well, that's all for this time on our culture until we meet again. go well, safe and all the rest of the, the, me the the ah,

into the conflict with sebastian libya has a new government of national unity which promises free election by the end of this year. but the road blocks, it faces our arms militia groups. so whole power throughout the country. my guess this week is coming via libby and un engineers us, how will this new government succeed conflict? 90 minutes on dw, the understand that if i had an editor meeting, you are not allowed to see you anymore. we will send you back are you familiar with this reliance? what's your story. ready ready i was especially a victims of sign and date part and send us your story chain.

always understand this new culture. so you are not a visitor, not against you want to become a citizen, into migrants, your platform for reliable information. it's about billions. it's about power. it's about the foundation order, the new silk road. china wants to expand its influence with this trade network also in europe. china is promises, partners, rich profit. in europe, there's a sharp and warning you want wherever accepts money from. the new super power will become dependent on in china's gateway year starts july 1st on dw,

the news . this is d, w. use life from berlin to growing over hungry new law targeting the l g b t q, community hungering space. germany tonight and the european football championships . i was 50 is breaking out the rainbows. but you has bob, the stadium from lighting up to support diversity and international leaders gather in burning in a new push of peace in libya and in the hope of getting the war torn country on track or elections. ah,

i'm so gale. welcome to the program. the dog of the town and munich should have bait of actual winter nights euros, much between germany and hungering. instead, there's lots of talk about a recent change to how carrion law. the critics discriminate against l. g, b, t, q people, the legislation bands depicting or promoting homosexuality to people under 18. munich officials wanted to light up the cities, a football stadium in rainbow colors to protest. but you objected. munich is all rainbows. the townhome flag is flying high. a clear message after european football, official band rainbow lights on the stadium because the way from maintained it was to political cycle for freedom assign, as my niece and community should not be forbidden, like that. i think everyone should be who they are. and that's what the flagstaff

that we haven't heard the discussion about, the stadium lighting, the things like that. and we really wanted to show that it's important to be open to the world, often enough to give it to the european commission is also making unusually clear statements. it's a little hungary as controversial law. the hungary and bill is a shame. so i will use all the powers of the commission to ensure that the rights of all your citizens are guaranteed who ever you are and where ever you will live to refer her on the line is supported by 13 e countries that express deep concern about the law including germany. i thought s my 1st of all, i think this is wrong and also not compatible with my idea of politics. if you allow same sex partnerships but restrict education about elsewhere. and that also

has to do with freedom of education and the like. so for me, that is something i reject politically is political upland. but that doesn't help those affective and hungry because the commission can only take legal action once the law is in force. the procedure can then go all the way to the european court of justice, which takes time. but the government insisted it did not want to hon. homosexuals at all and condemned from the lions announcement as a disgrace. sent for the time being actually comes in the form of rainbow flags and munich and statements from a well known german football play addressed in colorful clothes both in this entirely mention and spotty as my goal should be that it's a completely normal thing in our world. and the sport and that it's no longer a big issue that comes from guns into magic on. so i think small gestures and signals are step on the right direction. climate sizing, the, the,

the strong demand that needs to go storms and even the german football association . is now on board, and is in favor of distributing $10000.00 rainbow flags before the start of the game in munich. let's get more on the game now from munich, jonathan harding. welcome jonathan. through the controversy head of the game. what is the mood like outside the stadium? it's pretty good. i mean, i think there's rain incoming solely which may damp in the mood, but ironically it may also bring a rainbow which would be fantastic for some. i think on the whole though, the mood is fairly subdued. maybe perhaps some are expecting more of the party atmosphere. but the ironic moment of evening is the in finding the lighting in rainbow colors of the stadium behind me is that you, a for cops created some sort of grass roots education or sign of support for the down the way because just outside the underground stuff here in munich by the stadium, by the serina there are lots of people hunting out rainbow colored flies hunting

out, opportunities for learning, showing signs of support for the l. g. b. c. 2 plus community. so in a way, perhaps the non lighting of the stadium has spots a bit more of a, a great to show of support. but the mood here so far as is mostly optimistic about the game, but also somewhat celebry say, talk about the game then. how a germany looking going in there looking pretty banged up. if we're honest, i mean thomas miller is the big question mark. he hasn't train in 2 straight days, so there's obviously question marks around him. he doesn't look like he'll be starting soon was as we just heard, who was speaking of the press conference recently. he's also struggling with some injuries, but probably going to stop, so that maybe some new sites are starting for germany tonight, but the expectation is still the same. and obviously if they do win the game and results go that way elsewhere, then they can talk the group and that would be an ideal way to finish the night. germany favorites on paper, what do they have to watch out for in this hunger inside? well i think they've got to make sure that their own game plan is on point because

against portugal we saw how the 343 system can work in their favor. they can exploit the space that they've got to make sure that they don't get co out of the buck. i get hungry tonight about the biggest task is breaking down aside. there's going to lots to be way more defensive than portugal west. so they're going to need to be more creative and if they can do that, them hops that will be celebrates re feelings for everybody at the end of a telephone hiding in munich. thank you. well, bob group half game between germany and hungry kicks off soon after tricky. first match the germans look strong and a win over defending champions. portugal now the team has to finish the job and push through to the round of 16 quiet dealing and completely separated from the rest of the world. germany's training camp is the perfect place to focus on the next match. despite being in a corona bubble, though, the players are aware of the countries euros excitement and we can look up months at guns, met them. we don't hear about much in our camp, but we had

a feeling and we hear it from friends to that. there's a certain euphoria throughout the country. of course that makes us really proud and happy. after the difficult year and a half that the country has been straight. and it's nice to have an 82000000 want to be germany coaches again, instead of 82000000 verola just so i'm not too familiar with the vehicle on the one actual germany coach has a few concerns to deal with after his strong performance against portugal, thomas miller is suffering with a knee injury and may not be available for the game against hungary that could open up space in the starting 11. fully on correct sca on this will be fits because he's a very important player for us. while i'm problems, as obviously on confidence stepping into that role, i'm used to that position of fight. so despite injury worries, the mood among the team remains good. the love of football has returned after

a difficult spell. and you are in love seems to have found the right balance in his team. so in the 40, when like in the last game makes you stronger, we are dancing ourselves even if we did lose to the world champion my smartphone. and we also knew there was certain things that we could do better next time around . my germany have found for me just in time. now they have to prove they can keep it going. and the other game in germany's group fronts and portugal meets tonight in hungary, the french will be looking to improve on their last thing, which resulted in a shocking draw against hungry recent history. gifts of france, the advantage they beat portugal and the nations laid back in november when it comes to the european championships holders portugal happy hand. they defeated france in the final and 2060 highway for football. international

leaders have been meeting here in berlin for a new push to secure a lasting peace deal for libya. the north african countries being unstable since 2011, when nato backed uprising toppled a long time dictator mancha duffy. germany and the united states use the meeting to highlight the importance of nationwide elections planning for december and the gym . foreign minister said there had been some progress on the withdrawal of foreign fighters speaking after the tools. maybe as foreign minister said her countries that people wanted tangible results the people of my country pin so much hope and the 2nd conference of the berlin process. my people are looking forward to seeing more concrete measures which have a positive impact and the ground. it's time for actions because my people have heard enough. thank you so much scribble from d. w said chief international richard walker, who was that? welcome richard. we just heard the libyan foreign minister sounding,

robbing patients. yes, so i mean, she was really urging everyone present in the assembled international community to get moving and really kind of implement the promises that they've been making. and it was hard to come away from that press conference and have a little bit of a feeling that the results kind of came across as a little bit thing. now basically, there are 2 kind of really big issues that the conference is dealing with today. one of them is making sure in the election this plan for later this year actually happens. now this election is slated for the 24th of december that in libby is national day. and there are concerns that there might be back sliding back to some of the factions in the country which being riven by civil war for so long macy advantage in trying to scope of that election date and then doubling those concerns of the fact that there's not yet a legal basis for that election. so that was one big issue and no major kind of new announcements on that. and on this other question of foreign fighters in the

country, also nothing really new on that. there are 20000 also foreign troops in libya. some of them regular forces, a lot of the must read from different pay masters and you have russia, turkey, the u. e in the other countries in the mix too. and although the communicate the statement at the end of the conference did talk about the need to pull them out without delay, there was absolutely no detail about how that's going to happen. and it's even noted that turkey had an objection in that many forces there at least partly officially in the country. so that leaves the clear impression that awful lot still to do. ok. so what happens now? well, that may also rather bleak and if there was no progress but this, the german host always kind of emphasize about this. and this is the 2nd of these conferences. don't necessarily judge it by what happened on the day. this is about creating a longer term diplomatic structure for this process of libya gradually trying to

stabilize this country after such a long period of conflict. and when you bring the national communities together with the libyan provisional government, these commitments are made in public even if they have repeated commitments that does actually matter. and we should judge the success of the process on the, on the, on a longer term thing. do those elections go ahead, do those foreign forces ultimately come out of the country? so this is something we'll need to keep an eye on them out said ok. richard walker, chief international edison. thank you. i have no now some of the stories that making headlines around the world relative simply waiting for information about the funding and exposure in ethiopia is a complicated team. live region. witnesses said dozens of people were killed or wounded on tuesday in an ass strike on a market in the town to go. good. health officials that soldiers have blocked medical teams from traveling to see according ivory coast, a sentence form of prime minister, an ex rebel leader. we'll follow to life imprisonment in absent here. so as an

what kind of scale are we talking about? while we are actually talking about 1.7, be on the u. s. door as the counter of an idea, i will lose at least by on few of you, right? that will be one month after this treat up button is in place. so according to net growth, an in your that's monetize income, need this options worldwide. nigeria is losing about $250000.00 us dollars each hour. these to combine is in the pit. this is a lot of money to, to, to take country like an idea about then there is also an issue of unemployment rate, especially among young people. so this is a be a huge rose for this country, but then exports. i think that the impact will actually be seen in the coming days

or month. so there is a real dollar cost to this, but lagos, for example, where you are, it's also home to many fintech so many tech startups has the twitter band caused some reputational damage to lago as a tech hub. yeah. even before these 2 to you, you have to remember the 3 tie itself decided to take its headquarters to to ghana instead of nigeria. there is a nice of insecurity in nigeria in general. so all of these issues actually affect the way invest started. think about whenever they, you know, they plan to invest in any country. so then to make their mother was when the country that can idea imposes such bond exports, it cannot make x, y said that these do really has by doing petition on the count see of an idea. and

this is making people actually saw it from investing in the country and even the young people i thinking of what be called prime b. this means that they, they really don't see their future in this country. so, investing in a country that these, if meaning this to them, so it looks bad to both investors and citizens, but bringing it back to the news of today. what do you think will come out of negotiation between the nigerian government and twitter? it's very difficult to tell what will come out of these negotiations. but looking at these roles, they are counting, i mean is losing got all of them a lot of money. and then there is internal pressure within nigeria. young people complaining, international organization complaining about the idea that government. so basically we expect that nigeria is going to revise this decision. but who

knows, you know, sometimes govern the very top one but, and they can stay on there then and say, oh no, we'll keep this in place. but you never know. we might be surprised. and i could have been changing any time soon because i mean, they did, of course, had so many different problems. but it's not one of those dictatorship regimes that we see that, you know, like north korea, china, or other governments. so my records c dot, yes. fred mooney is our correspondent in west africa. thank you very much. now let's take a look at some other business stories making headlines. communities and madagascar are on the verge of starvation. after the worst drought and for decades, a devastated the south of the island. the world food program says more than a 1000000 people can be affected. the group estimates that nearly $80000000.00 is

needed to fight the crisis. by on tax says it's covered $900.00 vaccine as effective against the variance currently circulating. the german company has also revealed its developing a booster shot of its job with u. s. farm a firm. pfizer biotech says it doesn't yet know how long protection would last. so this now former nice and boss carlos, go and has made daring getaways before. now he's done the same in the middle of an interview with the w. he was speaking to conflict, zoned, came sebastian, 18 months after escape from japanese custody. go and was facing charges of falsifying financial reports and breach and trust. he's now in lebanon, which has no extradition agreement with japan. going ended the interview with the w . after objecting to questions about his ability to talk with a press. if you say, when my name is going to be cleared in japan, i'm afraid unless they really change the hostile justice system,

it will never be clear. but my bottle is not for the japanese government or the japanese prosecutor or the executives. the bunch of executive organize the prop my it doesn't have to go and pinion. it doesn't help you that in the eyes of many people out of your a fugitive from justice on you. even though you say you'd never have got justice in japan and you were hardly treated. my question is, are there any circumstances under which you'd return to japan to face trial? yeah, yeah, i will do it to japan badly to face trial. when that would be just the system in japan, where defense is allowed to express itself. as long as there is a joke of a justice system called the host, the justice system, there is no way i'm going to put myself in the masquerade justice that i was submitted to for more than one year. you know, the, the reasons for which i was arrested in japan, as, as you know,

has nothing to do with the so called charges. they have been fed gating all the time after my r s. this is something which is linked to a fight inside the alliance and to the conversion between roy nissan. a few weeks after your arrest in 2018, you were allowed to talk to the press, which gave you a chance to protest your innocence and claim that you are the victim. as you say, of an elaborate plot to destroy your reputation. my question is why would your enemies, especially those at nissan bother with a huge a complicated plot. if they didn't like the direction you were taking the company, they could just find you got the board to fire. you couldn't buy. you said yourself, they didn't need to go to all this trouble to get you out, sir. if you consider that i was given the chance to talk to the press, your embed faith, you are bad faith. it's about faith. i've been denied any possibility to talk and

you know, wait, and if you ask the question that mean you are a bad face and in fewer, a bad face. we stop the discussion here for one year, for 14 months, i was forbidden to talk to my wife. i was forbidden to see my family when i wanted to organize the press conference in japan, i was re arrested. after i been fried a 2nd time, i was told by the prosecutor that i'm free to talk, but that will be free to bring new charges. if you consider that i was free to talk . frankly, i consider that you have not a minimum of with this last last november you told arab news, i knew very well that if the japanese no longer would stop, which i'm sorry would stop here and that was carlos going construction began this week on spain's 1st factory for electric car batteries, it's expected to create over 1600 jobs and all source the lithium needed for the

batteries for money or by mind. the countries on huge deposits of the rare earth, locally source brawl materials have a lower carbon footprint. now these projects could help staying out of a recession, but there is pushback. soon excavators we tear up the ground here and hundreds of trees will be felled. for lithium, mine resistance is mounting. right, we're in the middle of climate change. we need these one to 200 year old trees and so high. julio says, aren't his friends, can't understand so many other people's apathy. been out again. the one comes along and wants to dig mine, and we roll out the red carpet for him. and i, we don't ask if it's bad for people, my children who are growing up in the village next door. i will say that gonzalez is directly affected. the holiday house he runs is situated a kilometer from the mine. we need us to believe who's going to once

a holiday here, only 300 meters from a huge slag heap with the dust. no water daily blasting the noise of the machinery . who will be nadia about 80 residents are directly affected by the mine the town hall though is several kilometers away when no one will really notice the mine. local politicians here are convinced it's beneficial to the steadily shrinking community. can you ever was young people are leaving in droves? goal actually got your neck and then go based on the information they've given us. i want the mind to go ahead data, but maybe we can also get them to locate the battery factory here. we've got a couple 2nd canaveral and not somewhere further away sank on board that would create more jobs. so that's what it's about. if you look at some of the candle, the village of can never sits on top of huge reserves of lithium. the 5 for tech company wants to use it for batteries. it's

a 1st on the beery in peninsula 5 or tex, managing director, doesn't deny the problems involved. it just doesn't matter if it's a mine or anything else. i think the prime issue is to explain it well connect with people and went over the resident. i'll ask you that i need preparations are underway and the company says the equipment is in place. the mine will supply the 1st battery cell factory and southern europe in the neighboring extra madura region . a small series of data storage devices has already been completed. can proceed. we've developed the 1st prototypes in our lab. the customers have already given the green light. we hope we'll have a pilot production line up and running by the end of the wi fi for tech is investing 400000000 euros in the project. besides lithium, it's also bought at the close nickel mine and cobalt could also soon be mind in spain. all essential components of lithium batteries. europe hopes it will soon be

much less dependent on foreign suppliers. and that's it from me and the d. w. business team for more, you can always go to d, w dot com slash business, although also follow us on social media. thank you so much for watching. the news . the fight against the corolla virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing? what does the latest research say? information and context? the corona virus not change because the 19 special next on dw into the conflict advanced in libya, has a new government of national unity which promises free election by the end of this
