the discovery of the world around use subscribed to the w documentary on you to me for the latest chapter in the ongoing debate over restitution of lucius. art africa centers around a sacred drum that's currently in storage in london's british museum. well, that's coming up on today's arts and culture along with the stories. the french city of both the brand new cultural campus with a tower spectacular tower by canadian american architect frank geary as its centerpiece. and for the 1st time since the pandemic,

the verona rena amphitheater in northern italy, has returned to staging full office, albeit with an innovative reimagining due to continuing virus restriction. well, in a historic move, in april, germany agreed to return priceless artifacts to nigeria that were stolen by colonial forces, back in the 1900 century repatriation of the famous been in bronze as will start next year. but the u. k. holder of the world's largest collection of lucid art is far more reticent of the sacred and god g drum of the pacola community in kenya of which there are unfortunately no current pictures available is just one of thousands of artifacts. now, gathering dust in its new z involved, and it's an object of deep spiritual significance that the community wants to reclaim the manually as him by returns every so often to the grooves in shallow on the banks of kenya's tenor river. he belongs to the common

community, the group once, how's the comb with secret and got the drum which was stolen by british colonial officers over 100 years ago in the possible others who had been in a place like these to see a secret place in the forest and hide, but not even small children could find their way. the drum or gadget was once revered, the homeless center of sovereign power. it determined their way of life. well, i am in without it, the grove is no longer a secret and become a governing council to reach manuel he belongs, has lost most of its authority. after taking the god you from the poor coma, it was shipped abroad and kept his storage in london. the british museum liberal comb with king macaroni among us of the 7th and the elders and his kingdom over the drum will never return. i think i'd like to know my jim if i had the miss

west minister the parliament in england. if i had the miss leong somewhere here, and they musing it, does that. what the british it to me suck religious to them. it's this isn't drum on savages what it is, which is not totally new. matthew, to have some function. why should you deny an object? it's functions like the many communities across the african continent have been demanding for the return of the plunder. cultural tell minor a digital heritage specialist was shocked by how much of the restitution debate and even the actual return of objects takes place behind. she co founded open

restitution africa, an online platform that puts together data on restitution and bring the african physicians to the forefront of the debate. especially when you look at technology by say we are saying that more people can access this information. more people who are not in expert circles, let's say academics, or even in museums and people who on twitter and instagram and have nothing to do with museums or hated, can actually access this information. and i think less powerful in, in creating awareness that yes, there is material that has been taken to macaroni for commas. king recently got communication from the partition that they would like to talk a huge step forward from when he 1st last initial request, years ago. his community, which numbers roughly 200000 live in one of the poorest regions of kenya. many no longer here to the old traditions and question,

the relevance of the drum today. king michael ronnie and manually as opposed to when i return to the old days. we're not sitting here under the lush mangle trees by the river there. hopeful, but there society, distinct identity will one day be resurrected an era to become a one proud as and let's hope that that pride can be restored for a younger generation. and i'm joined now by my colleague adrian kennedy. welcome, adrian. it's great to see you. and we heard about one initiative there in the report, but there are really many voices across africa that are now being heard on this topic. yes, for example, kenya's national museum in ny ropey has an exhibition called invisible inventories examining the sco calls and consequences caused by the absence of so many cultural artifacts. the symbolism of the m. t showcases

cannot be overlooked. missing objects include mosques, shields, smoking, pipes, cones, grave markers, drums, and even stuffed lions all in all the international inventories group has a recorded over 32000 objects. wow, which is a huge number. so the plan, i guess, is to create a database of canyon objects that are held bicultural institutions across the world . so that's why our team talk to artist and activists. jim chu, chu, he says this is absolutely necessary because kenyans very often don't know where these artifacts saw and even what they got, what they are. and here he is explaining the scope of this problem, just in kenya, plan was to create a database of canyon objects that are spread out across the cultural institutions across the world. because because can never know where its object sign,

what they are, we decided to visualize every object as a shipping label. because for us, every object that left can was shipped out, right? and honestly, we've covered all the walls, but this is only like 2000. well, that does indeed make you think of obviously a lot of work to be done. what's the latest on the co drum? well, france and germany have done quite a lot. so moving the direction of returning stolen artifacts. but the british museum is holding onto this idea that it is a custodian all the world heritage for the world is making sure that these pieces remain safe and can be seen by thousands of people. but the still, the british museum. and one problem with this is a course that people in africa can hop on a plane to london every time they want to see the national treasures. now the como

king put in this request 8 years ago, the museum is prepared to talk, but probably only about a loan. but the good news in office is that the many proliferating african initiative is putting more pressure on institutions to revise the perspective on. so this is a developing story or stories, i guess we could say that we'll have to definitely keep tabs on the thanks very much for bringing us that backs for background story on the god g drunk, adrian kennedy. thanks want. thank you. well, the southern friends city of aqua has a spectacular new cultural venue designed by none other than frank gere in attribute to the town the most famous past residence. the romans on the one hand and dutch painter vincent fun golf. the canadian american architect has created a sculptural steel tower as the heart of a brand new 27 acre creative campus called luma. the new building by architect frank gehry is a monster of steel glass and concrete region,

56 meters in height. no 2 sides are the same in architectural challenge that the trademark of gary's designs. the facade features more than 11000 stainless steel bricks specially designed to reflect the particular quality of the light and approvals. gary has described it as a painterly building. the building will be blue, sometimes it will be pink, it will be yellow, orange silver. obviously, the fact that they're set it angles makes each of the panels in different color have the capacity of being a different color to the building will be an exhibition space for the personal collection of the owner was billionaire maya hoffman. the site will also include a library archive room and restaurant the round base was inspired by us woman amphitheater. the tower echoes the craggy opium mountains and the steel reflecting light evokes vincent van gasp paintings. and speaking of fun golf

it's kind of magical because in this period i have this situation then come back to the normal things with stage and pretty much together. not too much distance. i mean, slowly, we can back to normal and we take out the, the, the restriction that we had for a long time behind the scenes of the verona arena. profess plenty of work has been going into adapting the world famous sets to news social distancing standards. the new rules meant that they couldn't have as many stage hands cramped together to move sets around. ah, that solution? 3 deep background projections, including seen from the operates inspirations such as saline movies. what i'm thinking that all of your material that we understood already last year in november that we needed to have another plan. in the event you see that we couldn't use the traditional big sets by franco's the fairly etc. because we wouldn't have been able

to maintain the proper social distance of the workers. and so we came up with many, i see i meet the sun and we work day and night. and we decided to use technology to transmit beautiful images. instead of the big set technology i posted, the dentist tells me to the magic mary, was the performers seen here performing poly out? she has to get used to the new technology. ah, but some of the thing is, are impressed by it the answer to multiple comb or the 1st of all, it's very convenient because for the voice it becomes a war that gives you acoustic help. and in the arena, that's really important because we thing outdoors that i mean a band that the audience also impressed no technology at the new technology. well, even being used to the big sets of the arena. it's still very beautiful. most of

a love for verona arena, despite all the tragedy of the pandemic, the show must go on and on that poignant note, it is time for us to sign off. don't forget about our web site and until next time, all the best for lunch here in berlin. does me what secrets lie behind me discover new adventures in 360 degree and explore the fascinating world heritage sites. he w a world heritage 360. now every journey begins with the 1st step and every language with the 1st word. hello, it's been nico, he's in germany, germany,

why not learn with him? switched on this stuff. it's simple online, on your mobile and free, and he w e learning course, nikos vague. german made easy me ah, ah me. if i'm going to sponsor the soccer coach down to his bones, he's achieved far more than just mentoring successful youth teams on the greek island of black bus. spinal has set up a soccer club just for refugees on the island. thanks to his efforts. young refugees like pawn from cam. a roof can dream of professional spots careers.

ah there's little left of the moria refugee camp, unless both 4th and 12000 people lived here for a while in and around the camp until it burned down in september of 2020 some time because i don't like yours and moria. he doesn't like looking back on a time that was difficult for him, but it was filmed the raging blades with a cell phone. he was able to get to safety and time the. 4 he's returned to

moria to see if you can find traces of his life here. but at 1st all he picks up our medical records from former camp occupants. his shot thought shot. no, no, no control of your head. yes . before he fled, ploy was also tortured in his home country. cameroon. he says he didn't get any medical help in moria, and then there was the violence. you weren't even safe in your own tent. became flesh my fault. we have to fight and if you see them scratches that the in my body, the man's will fought with him for within. we didn't know so until i get my phone to so then he finds the spot where he used to bed down.

this is mike called, i remember this is my golf. i. i got it forms panels. so yvonne gallo spanners is probably the best known football coach on less boss and pause savior. go thanks to spine is no longer living in one of the camps. but as a member of the elite co soccer team, a local island squad just missed promotion to greece, a 2nd leak this year. that success is thanks to the new team members. 3 young refugees from africa and spinal cord. not everyone approves of his efforts to help refugees on the island walk. some greek parents have already taken their children off of spinal, says youth teams. it was a problem. but i decide okay,

doesn't matter. i'm doing. i'm also a physical educator or not. so i have to, to teach people not only for sports, but also for me have your work for values for all these things. spawn o c major, soccer, talent, and paul that would make a professional career possible. but until he's made it in the big league and all the training sessions was often if he can't get to the fire at moria spinal in his protege have been inseparable. when the coach saw smoke rising over the island, he went to look for paul. immediately i went down with my god, i took on all the ill, his things, and also a bicycle in my and i said to him again because police was out and i said to

him, go and they have some, then i was waiting for you to kill him and after some hours. okay, we did after training today, all doesn't need to get a ride back to a refugee camp from one of his teammates. now he lives with other players in this former hotel. never again will we have to cope with insect and hours of waiting for food instead, he's got a full meal plan and a proper bed because he's made it into a support program for gifted athletes. boy says he has spawn us and got to think. sure this is my bible. like you can see my name, younger bull on it. this is my e mail, this is my with the i go to bible. the bible is the only thing he has left after a month, long odyssey to escape political violence and his homeland showed my burial site in

front of me. i was like, touch hard between these 2 bad so bad for me. i don't know. what i did was helps them forget and so to soccer mfc cosmos, as the name of the refugee team, the young people come from the car to tip a refugee camp twice a week for practice. for the mostly unaccompanied miners. it's one of the few opportunities to get out of the camp. they say conditions and cut a tape, they are better than they were in moria, but they are still severely lacking. they can take years for an asylum claim to be processed in greece. the youngsters know that they can get a residence permit increase more quickly if they're successful with soccer ball has showed them the way since he has begun playing and

a thirdly team and started working as an assistant coach because most he's become an example. paul really is unhappy that the afghans and africans wait separately before practice. but the government was cosmo. does more than contribute to understanding among the refugees. no, i know. i know the sport should also promote sympathy among greeks for the frequently traumatized foreigners. i know, i know, i know we can give them here. we can change their behaviors so we can make them better, better be the best ones. so when they're in the society in the community, it will be very easy for them to speak with local people and local people to check to see that they are the same with us. they're not different again,

a new players introducing himself to spinal today. he too is fled from cameras. but i'll let you go see if he played before you entered in mine. come on, but he's here. he's allowed to join in the end response as yet to turn someone away . nobody was out on it today spinal st. boiler, having the youngsters focus on conditioning. all of them are working as hard as they can because the president of the thirdly team illegal has said he be there. let's get the read. he's a businessman, was hoping to make good deals with possible tre destinations for talented players, so we get the best. but today he doesn't have anything with him. that would mean a speedy escape from life in a refugee camp. maybe a residential program, if we are like a who's a registered player can play anywhere in greece anywhere. you know, if he's good enough to play someone, identify, select some is free to go play anywhere he wants. so that's,

that's the process we try to help as much as we can. the reality is there's only a small number of players that through yet another shadow on the dreams of the cost . most players was that was made it for the moment. last post is only supposed to be a stop along the way. he's dreaming of playing for a professional club in a major european city, like in germany or france. poor like going to the early cross cafe and people like seeing him there. but he's also experienced racism agreement if you push maybe a good to a coffee shop or this huge is on in a way like that. you find out why they're going. i want to see they are leaving ok. the refugee controversy unless versus continuing. the european union is planning a new center to take them in,

but most of the locals are opposed to it. as we were against the new candidate. we don't want everyone coming in. then you will want to look, you know, we don't have any factories will work. what am i supposed to do here? if the germans have too much money, then they should take them in and become used to the fact that not all greeks like to see him playing soccer and at some moment he misses his family. i think that it was really painful when he visited a training camp with an american player. it came on visit him like i started crying, know i look at how they were like the place. luckily for poor and the other soccer players, unless both they still have spawn us. he's tirelessly working on their behalf. even

the european soccer association us has in the meantime began to support se cosmos. in 2015 spinal won the great championship with a youth team from the a g and islands. there was talk of making him the coach of the national youth team . didn't happen, maybe because he was known as the refugee coach. meanwhile, the 55 year old says he wouldn't trade his work with the youngsters from the camps with any other job. they've been fed these 3 races for me and my wife, and they brought it here. so as you can see, after 2 years and now is summer, we have the study here. and we saw people growing, we saw people changing, we saw people laughing and when they are coming here, kids and in every age they are very

angry. so and every day by day we are looking them smiling, working, talking with this. and this is nice, this nice you're a former player is still there for his boys, even after he sent them on to other clubs in greece, or they've moved on to other places in europe. they don't forget him. even if the coach couldn't make all their dreams come true, he's brought humanity back to the soccer pitch on the refugee island of let us. ah, me. the

news? the news? the news the news. the news

we don't want to see what they are there. you know, we're street water even now we're here. unseen. hidden threats. you're facing the heroes taking the stand just not the minutes on d w. ah. sure. now in the world right now, climate change. because the story, this is life less the way from just one week. how much work can really get we still have time to act. i'm doing
