time, desmond tutu worked as a teacher, but he soon joined the anglican church and became a priest preaching against the oppression of south african blacks. he called for peaceful resistance and soon became one of the most important spokesmen of the anti apartheid movement. in clean you install one, becoming free. you're going to be jumping ah, child. 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 1084. he won the nobel peace prize. o, 22 was a thorn in the side of the country's apartheid government. but as 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, to had protected south africa from hatred and revenge away your curb on your dar paper under long walk to freedom help her foster smart for life and human rights irrespective o'connell, religion, xander all 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. ah lucy, in me, i love it. he leggy lagging. holy man. ha, ha desmond to t. 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

that he'll be missed by many of course. and one of those is, and li, sir fontaine, a journalist and filmmaker who knew desmond to to she and her father found 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 seventy's and my dad brought him home because there's base, black and white couldn't meet anywhere else. and he, oscar children, questions about our lives and that he would lay to see, to in the township he would always go for the children and talk to them and, and 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 someone in my own right and noticed that his daughter. but he also had this great sense of humor and he could use that humor to diffuse difficult

situations. and i remember 1988, which was probably one of the darkest appall take years. and just before the light came, and if the, the headquarters of the south african council of churches had been bomb and destroyed in a car bomb in johannesburg. and he flew up from cape town. now today we knew that it was destroyed by their party state. and he was sort of inspecting the scene of destruction in total silence. and everyone was just gutted am. and then he turned to success, says the secretary general of the south african council of churches, frank chic 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, you know, one of those go to 2 clips. but yeah, that's like you got to listen. the memories,

i think many, but i certainly remember he had this incredible marriage of great dignity and compassion and humor as well. it was very strange to, to, to see that in a big political leader is when i 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 lead his 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 on 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 trying to 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 car, you would be an aeroplane. but all skinner, an aeroplane for some break and 2 and wine from mister edison, blank have his community 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 they be, comes this little the bishop from the townships. and he said no, no, you know you wrong. and he was in ski. it is to speak truth to power, but always with the bible in his end. and he called the bible the most ready cold book. and once again, i told a tolten audience, keith

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 several 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. let's turn out a, some of the other stories making headlines around the world. the bodies of 16 iraqi kurdish migrants who drowned in the english channel in november have been returned to build the capital of iraqi kurdistan. 27, margaret stock when they're digging, deflated as they tried to make the crossing from france to britain. at least 16 other migrants have drowned after their boat capsized in the gnc. off the greek on and of paris. dozens more survive to disaster and were taken to the island. it's not clear why the boat overturned this is the 3rd deadly incident in less than

a week. saudi led coalition has launched large scale air strikes on rebels. held the areas and yemen, killing several people in the countries northwest. the tax came after a deadly miss ayla tax by who the rebels on saudi arabia. really 400000 people have died during 7 years of war in yemen. mean mars military has been accused of killing at least 30 people from the karen minority in the countries . east witnesses said the victims were killed while trying to flee. fighting between the army and resistance groups, the aide group save the children, says 2 of its members were caught up in the violence and are missing. the vehicle was found burned out along with dozens of charred bodies. 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 after in the state of mama. so these people, the flag from the 15 and then why the lien and they will stop by the, the coup millage in military gym army and that they were all put into 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 40 people that those have 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 it's very targeted to the civilian 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 threatened, people will stop protesting them and then people come under their control. but that can not make the people stop fighting. and that, that really motivated people to fight more and to continue to. and i'm going to read this in the country. that is 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 trying happen and that there are almost 10000 people at least for all 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 cool, whether they're already like to see a woman happy they have passed away because of the call whether or not you know why i'm close and, and just just briefly. one last question. if i may, to save the children, and jill workers are missing and their vehicle is burned out to think they might have been deliberately targeted as well. actually like at the cook military and doesn't care whoever it is. so they may, they may be together as long 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 at the people in the country because the current regime seems that people who are not as their, their opposition or their enemies. so that is the was said you raised in our country, is that why crimes are crimes against humanity happen every days so that people are

placing with those kind of hopeless death in every day of their lives and their, their houses are being been down. but that's what we really hope that the in that community also put more effort to help our county, 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 much. the risks of the karone of ours pandemic mean people have had the scale by christmas celebrations around the world. but for people living on the streets of berlin, the festive period is always a dangerous time. the bitter cold can be life threatening, and the pandemic has made getting help even harder. our next report takes a look at a volunteer. who wants to lend a hand however she can and choke it, but give your friends some to. oh, for over 10 years, kathy kaiser has been helping homeless people survive, ruling inhospitable winters. i think i thought,
