see if you can start from becoming free. you're going to be young. peggy ha, chinese. and he came to destroy the 130 dad. he's i know it back outside of south africa to, to received great recognition for his courage. in 1984, he won the nobel peace prize. o 22 was a thorn in the side of the country's apartheid government. but his prominence also shielded him. in 1985, the anglican church elected him bishop of you hannah's burg. and later, archbishop of cape town, after the end of apartheid, came a further step towards politics. under south africa's 1st black president, nelson mandela asked his friend to lead a truth and reconciliation committee for months to to listen to the confessions of

perpetrators and to victims accounts often becoming overwhelmed by them. later mandela thanked him, saying to 2 had protected south africa from hatred and revenge away your carbon her dar paper under long warble freedom help her foster smart for life and human rights irrespective o'connell, religion sharonda o. after his term as archbishop to to traveled the world using his prominence to campaign for human rights and climate protection and to fight discrimination all the while, never losing his sense of humor. in the eyes of many, he was most often relaxed and laughing. he later made friends with another spiritual leader, the dalai lama meetings between the 2 were always witty and humorous.

lucy, his guardian name. i don't wish it he leggy lagging a holy man. ha, ha. desmond, 2 to one said, injustice and oppression will never prevail. and that's how he is remembered as a hero in the fight against apartheid and for justice. ah, is going to miss you very much. and he'll be missed by many of course. and one of those is and lead sir fontaine, a journalist and filmmaker who knew desmond to to she and her father filled and reported on him for years. can you tell us, please, what was it like to spend a day in the company of this man?

yes, thank you for having and me. i actually 1st met him when i, when i was still at school in the mid seventies and my dad brought him home because in those base blacks and whites couldn't meet anywhere else. and he, oscar, so children, questions about our lives and that he one would lay to see, to in the township he would always go for the children and talk to them and to, you know, some people said he was a paycheck. i never felt he was the patriarch. i always felt later when i became a journalist that he treated me as a someone in my own right and not as that his daughter am. but he also had this great sense of humor. and he could use that humor to diffuse difficult situations. and i remember once in 1988, which was probably one of the darkest appall take years. and just before light came and to him, he's the, the,

the headquarters of the south african council of churches had been bomb and destroyed in a call bomb in johannesburg. and he flew up from cape town. now today we knew that it was destroyed by the apartheid state, and he was sort of inspecting this scene of destruction in total silence. and every one was just gutted am and then he turned to successes. the secretary general of the south african council of churches, frankly, connie and he said to him and what did you do to the place? it was intact when i left. and that's just broke the ice. so you know, one of those, the eco to, to quips. yeah. yeah, that slang you, that in the memories i think many of it, i certainly remember he had this incredible marriage of great dignity and compassion and humor as well. it was very strange to, to see that in

a big political liter is want to ask you a question. since, you know, hm. so well about this man of a cloth. how did he reconcile his private practice of christianity with his very public and political convictions? i think unlike other church leaders in south africa, he never joined the and political party. he always remained a man of faith and he took that incredibly serious. so he saw it like, you know, as a man of faith, i have to speak out against oppression. i have to speak out for the weakest in society and that he would also take his moments of retreats. and very seriously, i mean, as a journalist, the country would be burning. you try and reach him to, to some retreat. he's not taking any calls am and then the people who work with him is with united states every morning. he had communion no matter where he was, he would be in a call. you would be an aeroplane with all skinner,

an aeroplane for some great. and to and wine from mister edison, blank have his community and communion am. and i think he was so effective in the struggle against the party because he was 1st and foremost attrition. and this was a christian government suit of trying to have the moral high ground and the be, comes this little a bishop from the townships. and he said no, no, you know you wrong. and he wasn't scared to sort of speak a truth to paul, but always with the bible in his hand. and he called the bible, the most ready cold book. and once again, i told a tolten audience, she e, thank the missionaries for bringing the bible to africa and clipping. you know, we take it quite seriously here. the bible is your 3rd of bible to revolution. that was the handbook to revolution and the 2nd time. thank you so much for insight

on the passing of south africa's anti apartheid liter. archbishop desmond, to, to thank you for having me as turned out as some of the other stories making headlines around the world. bodies of 16 iraqi kurdish migrants who drowned in the english channel in november have been returned to air bill. the capital of iraqi kurdistan. 27 migrants died when their de deflated as they tried to make the crossing from france to britain. at least 16 migrants have drowned after their boat capsized in the g and c off the big island of paris. dozens more survived the disaster and were taken to the island. it's not clear why the boat overturned this is the 3rd dead. the incident in less than a week, a suicide bomber has killed at least 5 people in the eastern city of benny in the democratic republic of congo. exclusion took place in a busy restaurant in the downtown area known has claimed responsibility. the city has regularly seen clashes between the army and an islamist group. hundreds of

thousands of people have had their holiday travel plans fall apart, as airlines cancelled more than 6000 flights over the christmas long weekend. thousands more were delayed according to flight tracking websites, as the i'm a con variant disrupts tourism and travel world wide. mean mars military has been accused of killing at least 30 people from the carrier minority in the countries east. witnesses to the victims were killed well trying to flee, fighting between the army and resistance groups. the age group save the children's as 2 of its members were caught up in the violence and are missing their vehicle was found, burned out along with dozens of charred corpses. and i'm joined now by continued the managing director of the berman news international group. she is currently in bangkok. can you tell us please all you know about the latest attack? thank you a so that is

a good in the state of mama. so these people, the flag from the 15 and then why the abilene and they will stop by the, the coup millage in missouri, jim ami and that they were all put in 2 different different vehicles and finalize. these include women and also children. so far we can confront about $34.00 people, but they seem like it would be around for the people that those had been fun alive in that area. and that might also include 2 of the volunteers from the to see the children in that, in that area. so this is very, very cool treatment to the people and is very targeted to this event and to make that to fear of the current military jim. so that, that is how the little region trying to build their power app. and you think that was the objective of the military to, to frighten people so that they don't demonstrate anymore and give up resistance.

definitely definitely. that is how they're trying to govern the country with fear. because they think that when people have this kind of threat to people, stop protesting them and then people come under their control. but that can not make the people stop fighting. and that, that really motivates people to fight more and to continue to. and i'm going to read this in the country that it's not only that for the current, the state, they only have about 330-0000 people. now, more than 150 people already i d p because of the cost of 15 that started from me 11. so that also happened recently in our current state that is very close to mess island. and then there is like a constant. i think i did, i think there is jerry and also like as try happen and then there are almost 10000 people at lee in terms of from this kind of id and then the and many of them have very difficult situation. not enough to know. yes. yet, and then because of the,

a very cold weather, they're already like to see a woman happy they have passed away because of the cold weather. not in that one close. and just, just briefly. one last question. if i may, to save the children, and jill workers are missing and their vehicles burned out to think they might have been deliberately targeted as well. actually like at the cool military region doesn't care whoever it is. so they may, they may be as low as if they are helping the people that are by the military gym that, that means that this and you'll walk us also be in tech at it because they don't want anyone to help the people in the country because the current regime seems that people who are not as they are, they are opposition or their enemies. so that is the situation in our country. is that why crimes are crimes against humanity happen every days? so, but people are listening with those kind of hopeless death in every day of their lives

and their houses are being burned down. but we really hope that the community also put more effort to help our country, our human rights and democracy, of course, horrible situation. thank you for your insight into your the managing director of burma use international. thank you so match you're watching d. w. news live from berlin. that's your update for this hour, but don't go away. sports life in a row boat across the atlantic is up the next war on instagram and twitter. i'm next, pfizer, thanks for watching the

landscape. a reflection of a turbulent history. the cities, the mosaic of different people. and the languages iran's mountains reveal unparalleled beauty as well. yeah. i saw the scenery is magnificent particularly warm in our cuisine is exceptionally ah, a special look at a special country. iran from above. starts december 27th on d. w. a. a from

a oh. a wade, it's 10 meters high, no land in sight, full women alone on the open sea. my cath, stephanie, catalina, and cigna are taking on the biggest challenge of their lives, crossing the atlantic ocean in a row votes in the telescope atlantic challenge. micah, a cardiologist by trade, has hardly any rowing experience. globus is all, i think, it's also a little bit about getting to know myself from a different perspective by doing something crazy. my so look to see, she has me like the other women, she lives in hamburg, mike, his best friend, catalina,

came up with the idea. i my gallon with you. i'm toyota. i like having adventures and trying different 40 things on the 30 to 67 days on the atlantic, with no support bo everything on board and doing it all ourselves. it's kind of a life project gases. i've lived in limbs. we act ah, mother and daughter g o stuffy and tim not complete the team. they to were looking for something different in life vests and yeah, 16 years i made her school lunches if that's not enough of a life or reason, i'm doing something else. why? which often i'm looking forward to seeing the crazy starry sky because we won't have any light. i hope we see dolphins and whales. i'd love to swim with dolphin scanner did a change from 1st though they have to train several times every week stuffy and tim to take to their local river. the outstanding in humbug.

although they both have experience in rowing, they brought in support from form of well championed cassandra alcott with their v don't fall asleep. cheek is you are on land and that's how to push through the last part. i thought, did you know what i mean? then doing well how buffer model them and nor heard bussey ma hm. if you weren't involved in this, i didn't know and like them, you'd have to be careful not to be mean about it and say, what on earth are they doing? complete nonsense to the group has been training for a year and a half 3, but the 2nd breakfast today looks good. chocolate. great. laura leo, who were rowing a marathon today? 42.195 kilometers to combine some info to me. awe before this challenge, catalina, and micah had never been on a row boat. oh,

oh. oh. 05000 kilometers of ocean, a white them with high waves, bad weather, and life packed together in a tiny space. many teams have broken off attempts at a crossing in the past. these people women want to become the 1st old female german team to make it ah ah, over in southeast england, in the town of burning on, crouch charlie pitcher makes roy boats fit for the high seas. with nearly why the team has invested tens of thousands of euros in his skills. now they see what that money. his port,

it's 8 meters long, weighs a ton and is designed to be unsinkable. these 5 square meters will be the team's home for weeks. great. our own bo port shewn nice. like i had never even had a brand new car before. always used cars. this is new. hey, they're the 1st german women's team. you know, the whole world will be watching when they're racing next year. so very exciting time. so i'm really excited for them. that 1st test is crossing the english channel councils. it's not too much to see burger nice city house rowing 5. it's not just the physical demands that faced the team. the atlantic crossing will be a huge psychological challenge running on the outside a simply not the same. a grueling rhythm of 2 hours rowing followed by 2 hours sleeping awaits them. and that's not all.

with half past 1 in the night, we had to admit that although the storm is in here, yet, the weather is too strong for us stock. michelle, what had to vomit to day and now we're turning back with the team has failed. it's 1st trial. the mood is deflated them since you megan, overcome the wind in the current and then try to decided we had to turn back on that still time before the race gets underway. charlie gives his advice on what the 4 women should focus on before. then they've got to get more path with yours. you've got to have really good, strong legs and back. doesn't matter about helms and you've got to get your stall right. and you must get that long power to get the sink closest to if you

get that power working through the old to get the boat moving forward spots. the most important thing for me is that you've got to work on that i, it's here in like a meta in the canary islands. the 35 teams begin the crossing to antigua in the caribbean in december 2019. the atlantic challenge is the hardest rowing rates in the world. the fastest teams will need one month, the slowest 2 months. it's the moment of truth for my cache defi tim now and catalina. to yachts are on hand for emergencies, otherwise the rosa out on their run, they're all risks. yes. is risks of bad weather and caps, eyes and head injury and illness. but things that actually have the greatest effect on cruise a how they get on with each other, personal dynamic. this is really most important and potentially dangerous thing. in

many ways that team spirit is tested early on. the wind is unusually strong and the boat can hardly make any headway. couple a pretty high ways and we all got sick on team the had it the worse. fortunately, micah is a doctor with the help of an eye the infusion. she gets the situation under control with for the 1st 48 hours, i was so seasick i couldn't move. the girls had to row one person down while i was comatose in the middle of the bo tristan and went into sports. but you like every little movement, whatever i didn't before it came back out the house. oh, i thought there are also magical moments like when they were visited by dolphins in

the middle of the ocean with merry christmas new hob. today it's been with uncommon lungs. i'm, it's a slow progress because we thought we'd see how the bottom of our boat love seat. with all in the kitchen consists of a gas cooker. ready meals are on the menu. i step on is a tasty, a look at my little mouse. compact always point north and that's where we'll

wait for you guys. may god protect you on your journey with antigua. this is where the team is hoping to arrive soon. they've faced a number of different weather conditions when they're out there. if you have big, strong season, big wires behind you, that's really good. but this year they've been from the side from behind all mixed up. other teams had to deal with even more extreme situations. but nobody was injured in a number of times when the boat been knocked over, but it's just rough and brutal and bruising and tough. and they've had that a lot. and the challenge that i will even still see some of that before the measure ra. another a 196 miles. hm

. and then in late january 2020 after more than 40 days, they finally see other human beings again. oh. 2 they've completed the 5000 kilometer crossing with pure muscle strength. ah ah, with ah,

why did the beautiful antigen at the 40 todays, at 46 a at and look all rent taking it, indescribably beautiful because i haven't processed it yet. one of the best mornings in my life, not a bad issue so i can talk with ontario, but the soon as the same isn't that was it phenomenal adventure and it's great to be an inspiration and role models with people and give them motivation torn a but we never dreamed that it would all end this way, and it is quite michelle. i'm looking forward to a proper shower. good food, fish on the safe in the harbor. friendship intact, that that's important too. with

my cash nephi, catalina, and tim, now have made a look. they broke every way that came their way and best in the ocean. oh, wow. with oh, when she is conducting back now, she says she can feel the adding anything. ah, saline invites very fast women on the venerable conduct. a story of courage, strength and skill, meet them. march 21 from next on d w. a hunting in the arctic circle. who has the right to do so? the land of the main sweden supreme court has ruled that exclusive game hunting and

fishing rights will be restored to one of the oldest family communities. it was a historic moment for the sammy and a source of aggravation for swedish hunter. asked them to get it in 60 minutes on d w o, what people have to say matters to us. mm. that's why we listen to their stories reporter every weekend or on d w. ah, you cant hesitate.
