this isn't a normal day at the office for poon, the 30 year old journalist has just learned that the newspaper he worked for for a decade would close at midnight. all day. i'm on hold. we just received notice that apple daly will publish its final edition tonight. so i'm rushing back to the office, although i still have a report pending publication with see if i can make it today. although were prepared for its ending, it still feels unreal. that morning. another staff member from apple daily, an editor area writer was arrested under hong kong national security law. it was imposed by beijing to our act of some versions of session collusion and terrorism punishable by up to life in prison. all the people we know media workers are at risk, especially those from apple daily. all day. it's kind of expected,

but journalists are humans to that. what we don't want it to happen. poon is joined by harry. a photo journalist who's worked for apple daily for 7 years. what's your last assignment today? none, i must, judy, i didn't expect things to in today. i regret that none of my photos will be in the final edition with what i understand. all the freezing of its assets made it almost impossible for apple daily to continue operating or even to pay it staff. i was here. i'm bringing my own camera with me to document the historical moment. the ending is not ideal, but i understand the decision made by management because they care a lot about our safety. higher hold on. i. as night polls more and more

supporters come to bid a sentimental farewell. it's not just the paper that's coming to an end. all it's online content will also no longer be accessible in a few hours time. go up or come by itself. so i run a new door. so many people read the newspaper and even traveled all the way out here to support us. but in the end, the only reason that forced apple daily to shot was government pressure, or it breaks my heart even more hold on hold for both, i'd go. my last report was to test preservative and fast food. i knew it was published on the website that night and i couldn't be added to the print edition and there was no more room on my report, survived for 3 hours and then vanished all. so we couldn't do much on the last day or during the last few hours, we were still journalists. we fulfilled our duties to continue reporting. paula, now perhaps we won't find anywhere else as free to report as here. i bought all the also old old old people. i haven't

kept any printed record of my previous report. well, we want to. all of them had vanished. i don't think, but it's not enormous pity for me personally. i only lost a little. she hung on, but the whole of hong kong had locked numerous important pieces of news and history, as well as a large group of journalists. that's what's most regretable. goal was something away from. 1000000 copies of apple daily's final edition were published a record high in this city of 7500000 people. the popular paper just marked it 26 anniversary 3 days before its closure. founded shortly before the former british colony was handed over to china. apple daily had long been seen as an indicator of hong kong free speech under painting through. but it was also an outspoken thorn in the authority side. its founder jimmy lie is currently in jail for organizing

illegal protests and charged with collusion under the smithy national security law . last year we spoke to him right after police 1st rated apple daily's newsroom. i was saying with the ship because this pace gave me everything. you know, i mean, death to this phrase. i'm very grateful for the what they say said, given me, i told them that consider your own safety, your conscience, and your appreciation to that society. we are not asking you to be the marker was, you know, do whatever you think is the right thing to do. so we would just continue to do it and test the water. his media empire did carry on, but was constantly tested a week before its closure. apple daily was dealt another blow. 5 executives were arrested reporters, computers were seized on that night. the remaining editorial board continued publishing. the massive raid was front page news than the government froze its

assets, putting the papers very survival at risk. even worse, 2 executives were brought to court for conspiracy of collusion with dozens of apple daily articles cited as evidence by young. suddenly our editor in chief became a suspect. we saw him in court. all, i'd never imagined a reporter having to undergo this night during the court hearing on that day, we realized that reports and commentaries we once deemed ordinary were now problematic. and hope hope things aren't going on that impacted us a lot. one. how can the remaining freedom of press and expression protect someone? yeah, we were frustrated on that day. bold already man. a journalists can hardly for protection since then. i got your whole so use red lines are everywhere, but which are not to homeless. you know, i, so i go hide fishing, blamed opposition,

media for the mass protest in hong kong. and vowed to clamp down on what it called subversive dissidence. even month before its closure, rumors and threats of shutting down apple daily had struck fear into its journalists. some left, others chose to stay until the bitter end including boon and harry was i seized every last opportunity to perform my duty. when i got home gone. even before its closure, reporters for opposition media like apple daily, already encountered many restrictions just a day before the newspaper closed, harry was on his last photo assignment outside a court. all report this movements are monitored by the police officer and all this good for reporting had changed fundamentally when the government clarifies you as our position media, it often excludes you from certain press events and information. therefore, court news and our own interviews a,

some of the few things we can still cover and the climate has become totally different in the wake of the protests. in the past, we could shoot freely, but now there are always metal barriers everywhere. always hang on just 2 days later, harry's life has been turned upside down. he's no longer a photo journalist. this gear, which helped him to record many historical occasions, has to be returned to the now defunct newspaper outlet. well, i can't get used to it home and i feel empty. woodall, there are so many uncertainties ahead, so many question marks in my head. i haven't been like this for a long time or they're hung and using hong kong makes me feel really exhausted and powerless. every time i shoot in the field, there's a great sense of powerlessness. we're hot, there's nothing else i can do more. we want to

come in as a photo journalist. i witnessed the collapse of hong kong and it's most frustrating era to see once the most vocal critic in china, the unprecedented death of apple daily raises another pressing question. who's next? the domino effect it triggered intensifies the chill. a number of opposition media outlets have removed, commentaries, suspended service, or even left hong kong. yet another editor from the now shut. apple daily was arrested at the airport when he tried to leave the like a sock. i didn't think it was. i was like, the chinese proverb says, with apple daily is like the sacrificial animal. that slaughter, to intimidate the other farm animals and make them obey how and pessimistic this all i stakes are high. when get golf. we also wonder whether

a previous reports will cause us trouble going home language, but we can't be fearful as long as we work in line with journalist to conduct a towards our meeting again. or to do what i had the chance to enjoy the last light of press freedom 50 every journalist is under pressure. i think a lot already did. i haven't come up with a conclusion whether i can still be a reporter. i'm so even if i can, it will be very difficult. please know. this is the 1st time they've met since we close. it felt so strange to have nothing to do yesterday on such a busy day for all reporters. i love a few of their former colleagues are now on social media to continue reporting as independent journalists. but many are quitting the industry. how are the photo journalist who's doing some plan to get

a text license in b drivers? not shooting anymore? it's hard to find another liberal platform to go cold and independent journalist must bear all the risks and consequences on their own designs on the pressure and burden are different or go go out and pull my powerful yes. in hong kong. nowadays, any article could draw various accusations. it could be a huge risk by the shooting photo safer. who so who knows? maybe a photo could also be blamed as incitement. hong kong detour from democracy has forced them to put the brakes on their journalistic endeavors. does it also spell the end of freedom of the press in their home city? only because, you know, i don't think hong kong press freedom has died. that although it's seriously wounded kings all legal say we're being all witness. the change of hong kong

from a place with free speech, where there is basically no taboo for journalist to a place filled with red line for the whole you know how, okay. and then we would all seen many opinions and acts are now prohibited jaila by overland. it's not only me as a journalist that witnesses it, but all hong kong or she hung on my. if i didn't think i will get like hong kong itself, boone and harry are at a crossroads and there's no clear path ahead. so he faces an uncertain future and says he's done his best and has no record. i'm going to go from there be with the 77 percent are calling chinese new colonialism, pure and simple in st debate. why is it still

a thing in africa and who to blame? white people stealing from black african probably new legs on somebody causes death. the 77 percent on d. w. and incredibly hostile environments. and he has a nice science of international conflict, peaceful cooperation, and scientists. investigation. struggle going on for control, natural resources. a message from another planet. 45 minutes on d, w. d, w. crime fighters are back with africa. most successful radio drama theories continues. all episodes are available online. course you can share and this goes on

d, w, africa's facebook page and other social media platforms, crime fighters, tune in now we're hello guys. welcome to your favorite youth program, the 77 percent. this is the platform for africa, young majority. i, eddie mike, a junior foster, you'll see bells and ride with us. more than 60 years ago, many african countries gained the independence from europe and colonizers. but how independent are we and why does it even matter to asked the young generation now will be digging deeper into that question on the show. but yes, what's coming up? i report that he didn't. kamani talked to the young canyons about me, quoted me out as a drop off distance drops a few lines on what it means to be africa, vinegar,

lease the path is about to stop for the control. now, east africa has been ramping up efforts to expose it. citizens to chinese culture, articulately through language in kind of for example, monitoring is offered at the selective language in schools. in uganda, it is now become palsy, subject in some schools. so is this in mir exchange of culture is always there much more to it. the 25 year old andrew meant to tie is not a free to get his friends. he graduated in december. he's been helping us on the family farm. and like many young recently and put the job market, who's looking for works. but andrew has him leave. he speaks mandarin. this decision came as more chinese constructive, flooded can to build it through. and he thought learning the language might give him an edge, an experience that would be revealing. my name is andrew in english. so the turn it

to and so this is the name i used to go by even the schooling class in the grounds . and he used to use and over the years there's been a steady trickle of chinese cultural and language centers opening in kenya. many like andrew school offer scholarships. and in some cases, high achieving students are even sent to china for competitions. but the content of and with classes maybe to parent, his instructor was teaching more than language. he was this that i think he started by seeing us teaching that chinese history, chinese festivals, chinese poems and songs. for instance, if you can do french, you might not need to land all the things pertaining the history, the culture. we just need to learn how to communicate. but in chinese language, you get to, they want you to become like them. kindly 59 confucius institutes,

but across 44 african countries institutes together with existing economic ties to china could make a country reach over the continent. they will be based generally right extensively on after chinese relations. she argues that while the chinese government may have a firm economic group on the continent, the most significant partnerships being created outside the board room. i think the important thing to understand when we talk about the kind of chinese culture that is exported is that it is a very specific cocktail of mainstream. generally mainstream han culture that has passed through the prison of the ccp come trying to come this party. but at the same time, not everything that comes here in kenya that, that makes its way here from china is pastor that lenses, the parties. there are

a lot of day to day interaction between individual that i feel like is a much more rich and interesting place to look at. because those things are not mediated by the state in bustling they, ruby, it's hard not to see how these more formal intercultural interactions have influenced everyday life. the city has already played who 2 chinese can joint performances, which are growing in popularity, especially among the younger generation. 3 chinatowns have popped up across my rubies since in 1918, offering traditional chinese cuisine with a tenant. back in el doris. andrew is under no illusions, he knows that once like a cultural exchange is no exchange, but he's also in need of a job. and he's that means working in china. that's exactly what he'll do. you know, that's very interesting. i'm just wondering if it would be possible for people in

china to say, learn african languages like swahili or t. i guess we'll just have to see how things pot out. now talking about the influence or not of foreign powers in africa. we had the streets of our job to ask young people this question. after 60 years of independence from british rule, how really independent is my day to day 3. you've been there, right. i think in the question of how independence we will we be able to use our independence for we have our government, we have, we make decisions ourselves. and we have a way of electron leaders without actually being accident, anyone for permission to do what we are doing for me. i think we, i mean the independence is just like how you know, when you present them with you for very long time, even when yes we in your mind, these seem like, you know,

still increasing. you would take some time for them to sort of realize i'd be asking if we, if you look back on the past year, you'd realize that things continually got worse. so i don't think is equation of independence, but we'll be meeting with use it. we've not renewed as much as we could have. we are not so independent to because where we are from what we are known for. we kind that's took a step back because we are trying to be like our colonial masters. there's some form of new and the reason why i don't like to say that people's faith exist and it might be happening subconsciously. but i think people are trying to take advantage of us because market for me, it just shows the potential that we have. so way that people take advantage of it or we take advantage of it is a different question. i think the best thing we can do is, is continue to evolve. that was helped various countries. i'm

a country like india for example. doesn't have any natural resource such but the people is what of really help the country school. and now they're more or less. it will paula does this returning confidence returning to us of my job in which i find very interesting to see. and i think it should continue. i think people should be taught more about where they are from and thought to appreciate this land this place. so we have had the voices of young nigerians. some argue that africa still dealing with the effect of colonialism. but who's really to blame for that? and what can we, the young generation do to break free and cough our own pop? our report you did commodity put the question to young cajuns in our street debate, and i will be the, the 77 percent in a row,

be the capital of kenya. and it is in this city that we can plug when top we were declared independence. but how independent is kenya and indeed the rest of africa. this is the question that we're asking today on our subject near colonialism. why there's still a thing in africa and who is to blame. but before we go too far, let's come to nigella. who is a political and lived in the right to here in kenya. how would you describe new colonialism? what does it mean to you? i think that coming from, i gave us the best definition for neo colonialism, which is late stage imperialism. what you have is indirect influence of political decision making of you can make decision making. ok. so let me come to the farmer right here, mr. michael to being in. because you're from, as you mentioned, is over a 100 years or suddenly older than the nation of kenya. do you feel like you'll beholden to the person who began this farm? absolutely not. he did. and i believe we need to both the colonize our minds and our hearts as, as kenyans. we really shouldn't be complaining too much about your clothing of them

. let me come back to angela. i want to challenge you basically, based on what michael has said. we should be talking about nicholas ation right now . look at me, unfair view from where doing it on our own when we're talking about colonization and we're talking about imperialism. we're not talking about individual experiences . we're talking about a systemic issue. yes, you're able to grow your coffee and run your coffee tours, but is the price for example, that you're, that you're selling your coffee at reflective of the labor that has gone into producing that coffee? or is it reflective of political priorities that have been said elsewhere? exploitation of power disparities for the profit of certain regions and certain parts of the world is the very definition of new colonialism. okay. i'd like to come to shape because i just want to, you know, piggyback on what angela thing, but it is a system and it is explosive. but we're politicians. the people who should be at those international tables making better deals for thing. this doesn't work for us anymore. can have struggled with the cancer political leadership that is

dysfunctional that is explosive, that it's violent. that's discriminatory. there's also this culture that stems from a neo colonial space of leadership that excludes people from the leaders, which is putting the people into this vicious cycle of constantly saying, we need better, we need better, but nothing ever changes because the bubble of and the shield of nicholas is so sick, so we're saying that, oh, my goodness, that the, the new colonialism wants that can, is seeping into basically every single factor of our lives. politically, economically, even how we think. yeah. socially. and i'm just wondering from tony, in what ways does new colonialism still have an impact? and the way we are govern. i mentioned the french very briefly. the french of never mentally left africa ever. you can see what goes on the conqueror lease. the highest glory of african evolution is to become a frenchman or mademoiselle, the france has never lost that mentality. but one might argue that kenyans have not

lost that mentality. we are after all having this conversation in english. no, but ken is a very different country. we may be confused there, but don't address immediately. political leadership on your colonialism relies on somebody having the lead in their pocket. in that case is your great then with your own government or with the colonial government. that created structures in which we are governed, as we are, that is very lazy. we always tend to blame the british. we are all the strength all the time. we keep complaining about all white people, maybe to mean european people in the to these, these, the new colonies that say no. alright, i'd like to get some more views on this side. the problem came with a philosophical foundational movies country. like if we're talking about export, we didn't center canyons or the people who live in this land we are in. so what we are experiencing now is a result of what happened then. so the west is still to blame,

but we reproduce what we did. but is it fair? let me ask schafer here. is it fair to sort of lump the whole western world into, you know, the white saviors. they're trying to come and save us. we don't need their help. is there room for collaboration or is it just going to be this bipolar dialogue? well, i think i think room for collaboration that existed or that it's assumed that they seem to exist had existed in their white terms. that even as we collaborate, we're collaborating within their own structures within that one agreements within their own in gauge meant within their own requirements. right? why people always wanted to enforce and to carry forward their whiteness and the supreme a c. we should be able to enforce and carry forward our blackness, our black supremacy. but it's never going to happen because we don't have the leadership that is capable to imagine our own governance and engagement out of the 3 that is mostly a colonial. but i didn't necessarily tool is out this way to sentiment this again, we are playing here and sometimes it gets to vittie. this won't take way to grant

that i want something specific to us. your government never. i've won a lot of the scholarships and so don't lose weight. but you tell your story in your own way. i feel like, what's this way to sentiment? i never beside the boat to be colonized by the british of all the colonies a school history and you know, we had the split 3. please contextualize that will never be side because that's the we real politic of the wheel. history had maybe been colonized like the belgians they didn't give a damn, but i'm not going to go and keep repenting about 18. 89. yes, yes, yes, yes. and i'd like to give, i'd like to give me, let me come to schafer because she's so exhausted. her hands on her head, i'm about to give up because the thing is this raid. so the context is when we, when i hear people talk about, they don't have a problem. and having been colonized, i question, how deep are you in this neo colonial struggle that you've actually embraced your,

your abuse and made them feel made her feel that she was right for doing what they did to you. tony is saying that the facts can't be changed that the world order at the time was, as it was, the work order was white. people stealing from black africans. that was the work order. i think sometimes we, we speak very carelessly and very casually about very fundamental things that i was in the method and i really don't appreciate it. ok, tony, do you agree with the charge that you are so deeply neil colonized yourself that you don't see why you actually could have been that is absolute bollocks? yeah. let me use british languages. so people who are more in your call and let it looks because read you can't read in this week. yeah. it's like those people who fail in life and keep talking about their father was an alcoholic, or their mother never loved him enough. and we like that it, we must lose that victim mentality about the british suspicion which we as in this country, we started with a very critical question. neil colonialism. why is it still in africa?

well, the answer is no history. and who is to blame for it? apparently we alla, thank you for watching the flow. now that's what i call eddie bate. so she, we came drowning in the past or swim towards the new future. what's your view on new colonialism and its impact on african countries? now we would definitely love to hear from you, so pay us a visit on youtube to watch the for discussion and keep the debates going. has a different perspective from one part of the continent. wrap up fine, one big boy. you handle basin easy to send down to off and maybe an independence fight and they bid boy, is his take away africa. spence o. o.

this is because we don't know what's the region mainly visited, but i'm proud of it. it sounded like a d, as in bob from rhodesian his name god, the people the slow, the told the not they've done an audible even if you've got a predefined escal and it's hell again. but this type of good news happening elsewhere. they've been asked to be american plays that did the same company, but i think is not a black man's by the good thing properly. i can go to india. to african team guns. do people fed up with veto view and why? yeah, only black always s o f because open ended. that was the love that you opened. inviting people to stay on the weakness and be even

today. but the was even the album until and men endorse liberal in this with the pin, the school shop boys and noting, taking from the boy was wrong. and this last 2 bowls, hills and the question was going to be the lives of those who died. that is great weekly. oh no. remember district when we have been african as the now when i think and i don't know what's with this, we put out f d. but they said that these only hop of bit style and fit. the hardest words when he was all at this helpless g fitness because the b team off the words after they suffered, they've got to serve the know those

are really deep lyrics. it's a good reminder to learn from history. so those traumatic events never repeat it. now musician l some bala, how those append strong words on this issue. so as a child, when have family moved from cumberland to germany, the intertwined histories of both countries are reflect that electro inspired beats sound arch needs, bold electronic feet, l farm bar la, penned and produced you had to be in cameroon. after painful breakup. she says women and kevin, ruining what traditionally treated with more respect before the european colonialist arrived in going and isn't had such an impact, but also people mentality. they were purposely raising also the culture of the people stumbling of the imagery of a black man of 21st century. i couldn't swallow my pride. trust. i try,

you know, elsa barlow was 10 when she left a camera room and moved to germany along with her 2 brothers. their mother wanted to complete her doctorate at the german university. coming here it was a dream, a small african child. white culture is on t, v. 's. everywhere is the norm is the standard. so when you know, as a 10 year old that you go into europe, it's like the sugar. can you please? but she was the only black girl in a small town in southern germany. she soon experienced the effect of racism and ignorance on teacher calling out in terms of where the resources come from. and how did well come to europe in such an amount. it came from the colonies and it's really insane to me to be in this world and go to school so many years where to teach you supposedly about the world you're going to be living in and leave. ready

out the huge part of history. and when she was 20 else invalid decided to return to come room to reconnect with her roots. she channeled her experiences into music . she discovered a new site to her world in the recording process, inspired by her home countries rich culture, w. w. w. by le, now spend most of her time in germany. she lives with a young daughter in berlin known as the capital of electronic music. but africa remains a strong part of the mix. bada has found a way to bring both worlds together. on this track, she samples speeches of the pan africanist and 1st gun named president kwame cru. mom is now now independent, not by law, feels at home in berlin. she has discovered a space for herself,

somewhere between her german upbringing and have come a rooney and heritage. it's a healthy mix, she says, and it's something she hopes to fall on to her daughter. it can be a healthy mix and why not? i have a dream that one day africa in europe will have a truly mutually beneficial relationship. thumbs up. if you agree, i show you to now let's take you to a hidden african tressa tucked away in this in the galleys. customized region is a provincial capital. the control graffiti artist can buy bought shoes or the rounds is small hometown along the shores of the river. the hello my local, letting us know monica, my name is robert mccafferty, and i'll take you around as i can see them all. but i'm here and i was coming to my
