africa is waiting and they are able to do things on their own. i believe in the compilation have an ambitious engagement in africa, this is the difference. how about beginning africa's intrusion. let me mention a few in my closing remarks. we can prevent, we can anticipate when they come. how about supporting this investment we would be posting this in september with initiatives and even though he's not here, i know he has done quite a bit on their behalf adequately on this challenge so thank you, i believe without you we wouldn't be here. we will be in new york in september. >> thank you so much for your comments, ambassador. >> thank you very much. thank you for this important event, i would like to talk to you about the importance of investments and why should be at the center in this investment to africa. being appointed, i have this at the heart of our action the same level of security and the economy. fashion, movies, design, arts and sports, africa is experiencing an exceptional -- i used to be a french ambassador but i was born in africa an

b, i. africa is uniquely enchanting. how many visitors find themselves falling for you stuff because because i'm most cosmopolitan ports, i would definitely recommend this as one of the best travel destination. traditions in africa from relaxing holiday away from home to pick up a completely different kind, unique and indulgent. your reach creates it, right? yeah. in session today, i feel like africa's not taking up space in the global design industry because i see other big brands manipulating culture and selling it to us as their own. and it's quite said by giving us 2nd hand goods instead of us giving them the originals. busy why don't we set our own friend instead of absorbing what the world is giving us? that's i have decided, you know, at, i'm going to be original. when it's helen african story through jewelry. thought on goober raised ho, gets home with allied, created her own range of african is by stage, been jewelry that encourages all africans to support local design is go get so is on her way to meet with her

b, i. africa, is uniquely enchanting. how many visitors find themselves falling for you? stuff because biggest and most cosmopolitan ports. i would definitely recommend these as one of the best travel destination sufficient enough from relaxing holiday away from home to pisa, off a completely different kind, unique and indulgent. jewelry creates it, right? yeah. in such an goober, i feel like africa's not taking up space in the global design industry because i see other big brands manipulating our culture and selling it to us as their own. and it's quite said, they're giving us 2nd hand goods instead of us giving them the originals. why don't we set our own credit instead of absorbing what the world is giving us? that's, i have decided, you know, and i'm going to be original. i'm gonna tell him if you can study flutullo, you saw some groovy raised polk, its own home with salad, created our own range of african and by statesman jewelry that encourages south africans to support local designers. go get so is on her way to meet with her sister who has both her biggest fan and

so i think in africa we have a lot of respect for her. i think they have to bring back olo jewelry and oh, gold and now diamonds that i in the crown, they have to bring back everything. they be stripped from africa. she was 96 years old, so it's to be expected on. she's lived a very historic, tremendous life and i hope she can rest in peace. i don't think the death of the queen affects me boys. i am, i'm pretty young and she's a british date. she's a british and i'm kagen so it does offer to me that months clearly mixed reactions there. but one thing is for sure, the story of the queen cannot be told without looking at the relationship she had with many african countries. his why queen elizabeth had a special relationship with african she turned $21.00 on a visit to south africa. and she was in kenya when she heard that her father, king george the 6th, had died. a grievous news of her father's death reached the young queen married 25. at this, not in the highlands of east africa, she returned home for her coronation. the archbishop lore is

africa. ah, a few small but creative team before they go out to shoot her shows for peace from i am africa in the streets of our car. i know you kill this. so let me clear. make africa proud. ah, my book is that the rest of the world appreciate more the african fashion into african pads we do have ah, a few suitable and style designs speak from the traditional poll. well connected to the modern pulse of africa. ah, the to see for myself how one initiative is supporting visual artists by creating a space, equipment and training, push out what are the main aim of the space? we have many and i think the main aim is to facilitate a strong sense of individual and collective responsibility towards i would a presentation given the colonial history of photography, nafrica, and also a desire to contribute in a meaningful way to african photography as well as the lives of local youth. why do we need these types of initiative? i think that in the age of social media and information technology, official literacy and critical thinking skills for a very, very integral part of an increasingly valuable schoo

so for example, if you take south africa we, i am. if you had to ask the average person in the street, what they think of the british royal family, many of them associated with south africa's colonial past. and that colonial past obviously paved the way for the implementation of parties. i must mention at the same time though, that the queen was friends with the iconic freedom lead and nelson mandela. and she was seen as part of the soft power that put pressure on the apartheid government and bought about its demise. having said that, though the queen paid little attention to africa, she seldom mention to africa. and all her attempts to keep the empire alive through the commonwealth did not seem to work here amongst african countries. this sentiment expressed in the next clip is very much representative of the feeling on the ground here, amongst many africans she was becoming irrelevant here. we know about chinese president jim ping or russian president vladimir putin. not the queen. this also feeling on the ground that with the passin

was just thinking about the star of africa. i mean it was becoming diamond that was found in south africa. basically i was given was named after the man you were in the mind. it was given basically to the royal family on the things with about $400000000.00. right back crown and building coals for it to be returned to africa in terms reparations. i mean, i was a very difficult one when you think about how many companies were talking about and how many people were talking about, reparation. everything from slavery to colonialism. i still don't saying england's origination anymore that they can actually afford to come up with reparation. in the cynics say, the commonwealth is the british empire on the cheap, which i suppose if you look at it and you guys still got to go argue it. but, but then again, having said that, despite breaks it, which i don't think is domination any good at all. and what i think is that they'll be attempts to keep the commonwealth together. how many think any form of brotherhood of nations is a good thing? n

i heard of the very beginning. this is a very special film because the film is in africa. i mean, you start and thing that you pick up. yeah, i mean i think of it. what's so great about the scary to like it in my right, he's a, he's an older man and he speaks a very beautiful poetic kind of africans. i think what was very important fires so with this foam, was to legitimize that language, whether you want to call it a language or a dialect. that off shoot of africans that realised version of the language that was 1st spoken by slaves who were brought to the cape. a way of speaking a language that the slave masters could not understand. and so to create that, this fusion of languages, that is a mix between dash and english and arabic, woods and malay woods. and so we have this like that, this lexicon, that is brimming with metaphor and poetry and image and borrowed words from many continents. and so when you speak that your mouth is like a spice spice mix. yeah. and on some, some computer full lines that i don't know it can you remember some of the lighting 9 told me with ho

was just thinking about the star of africa. i mean, it was the common diamond that was found in south africa basically and was given, was named after the man who owned the mine. he was given basically to the royal family on the things with about $400000000.00. and it's right there crown and building calls for it to be returned to africa in terms reparations. i mean, i, you know, it's a very difficult one. when you think about how many countries we're talking about and how many people were talking about reparation. everything from slavery to colonialism. i still don't saying england's origination anymore that they can actually afford to come up with reparation. in the cynics say, the commonwealth is the british empire on the cheap, which i suppose if you look at it and you can, it's difficult to go argue with that. but then again, having said that, despite breaks it, which i don't think is done, the nation any good at all. and what i think is that there will be attempts to keep the commonwealth together. i'm anything, any form of

i told prince the same thing. (laughter). >> trevor: so we're going africa. >> i will go to africa with you, i do, yes, i do.ear that? >> trevor: sherri shepherd, everybody.

then i can use on wheels. frequency, the bikes, 1000000000, versatile, a sustainable and they walk one does on the streets of africa. let's take a closer look. read. in 30 minutes on d. w. with benjamin which d w. at any time in place. losing means video, nevada. we have, i don't feel like if it was correct, sons to sing along to download the app. the ability from super lousy often use of doing for tie a varied courses put into active exercises are available at the when you don't come sash, don't plan on facebook. oh, in the lan gym and for free with the w. devastated. how was this stuff to our weekend with cars carrying money, effects of climate change or being felt wired, wired for a station in the rain forest continued carbon dioxide emissions have risen again. young people all over the world are committed to climate protection. what impact will because change doesn't happen on its own. make up your room, mind you w me for mine's ah ah ah, this is dw news lie from berlin. russians heading to the front and ukraine as reservists are publicly called up to fighting the bore activists say the mobilization is far more

so i think that's really probably back south africa. and my way you stop preventing people much. and i know that on my my journey. so i think that's probably part of what our home was heading towards. i didn't come to strengthening that because the industry is quite large. but obviously they want to make saw that difficult economic fine. they can go in the market. yeah, sure. i think i would love you to listen to cody more who's an experience p r. exactly. who spent some time living? i'm walking in nigeria. i want to go beyond this by the into how does the industry operate and where is my jury in the industry? claudine told us the story that i want you to have a listen to an intake of behind the scenes about how commercials a maiden. why does my curious silver it needs to be protective of its creatives, his clothing festival. a few years ago i was living and working in nigeria, leading the communications for a my cheery in based pan african investment company. and i was tasks waived for me in commercial for the nigerian company for which i was sent to south africa. it's a film tha

africa so where did i put it?inquiry about fini's relatives, we were told that his living aunt had survived in a concentration camp. and will soon return to ukraine are you absolutely sure africa that you don't want to apply for adoption? yes, i 'm sure it's fate. i think it is absolutely reasonable that the boy will live with his own aunt. he will have a family

world we've turned. mustn't just point out all the collaboration between europe and africa. europe plays a big part. i think that commitment is to finance already the adaptation program in africa. because if the africans followed the same part of europe in from the asians and the chinese and the americans, it means that we will also use a routing resources, coal, oil. if we need to industrial ourselves on that basis, the planet will disappear. so the fact of not following the same path, there must be compensation be find alternative solutions, an energy mix that is straightforward in terms of carbon. so the fact that we are asking for it is not a request or help know, is the planet together. we need to protect it. and the best way for europe, for china, for asia, for america to supporters is to fund currently agitation program which will be done. normally, i hope a trauma shake. if not, people will face the conference and convinces and will find their own development paths. so in that regard, what is the significance of the africa, the patient summit to be and also, what is your idea of success for af

what was true or i didn't want to be boxed in and was psychologically ready for people to reject my ideas. more africa. i humor, go through there. i consider myself an afo features designer. if you're talking about africa, then it's africa, which ultimately inspires me. fill up quickie must be able to not. oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, just swagger, it's one for the wild. i hope to take it as far as possible and become a showcase for africa. while i open the printer, wifi with dental for probably probably a year if i don't be afraid of obstacles, don't be afraid of difficulty of the moment because there's no shortage of the law for barbara. but need to have faith in what you do. that's a super important level to close the phone with. you may publish all imager la won't and so people for the sample thought they put a swagger is definitely a feed for the young. our for our future is stick youth now from the congo. we fly over 20 years capital near me, which rises like an oasis out of the sahara. the city on the banks of burton jerry river knows how to trade eats and throw a party. and we have the pleasure of foll

i moved, we used to go to a lot, a lot of music videos in south africa. i mean, this is about technical skills. exactly what id i would say. but over the last 10 years, a lot of what should be 90 percent, probably back in europe. and i think it's about this. it's about let's use local college to be developed to create a deliver these products for corporate nigeria and for me. but i think that's what it's about in reality. i don't think it's about excluding anybody. it's about building local. i am. well, if i could just add to that please. i think now we are, we need to find more bravery in telling our own stories, right? if you years ago, and i got that have probably been rejected by marketing to rise to national marketing. i think. why can you help me understand why its identity uncomfort with your own identity and, and doing what you think works, doing what you think brings the revenue that you, you need to meet your goals. and i'm speaking from him and marketers perspective, right? so you just rinse and repeat what's worked, even if it's not creative, e

i told prince the same thing. (laughter). >> trevor: so we're going africa. >> i will go to africa with you, i do, yes, i do.ck break, we'll be right back. >> that's our show for tonight but before we go, before we go, please consider supporting the kids in need foundation, they go to underresourced schools and provide much needed supplies like backpacks, books and so much more, if you want to help them create a more equitable learning environment in america than please check out the link below, until next time stay safe and remember if you just got a job as at prime minister of the u.k. you might want to keep a side hustle just in case. here it is, your moments of zen. >> i think he's just sitting down going-- like pffh. >> i did not see the spit though. >> do you see t i don't see t i looked at various angles. >> that is nasty and uncomfortable. >> i didn't see anything but to me, something is going on there. >> it goes back and to the left. >> this happened to me yesterday, during the show. some snotage came out of my show during the show. >> spit el can happen. >> spit el happens. it's been a hell of a w

i have that flag with michelle. so like talk should he said we are on the right way is just give us you the chance to change and make africa. paradise for everybody. yeah, i have, i have to just put this 2 points very succinctly, 1st of all, invite the youth to the table 8th. secondly, use that add to change that whirl and unite people. now you have a song called a deer journey is it has only adoni didn't it is only yes. when i listen to this song i this journey, is this part of relating across the continent? yeah. go had yeah. what is having some history to this phone? ah, now. 6 is this, is this something that happens every day is, can tell you like, guys back home is unless thinkings every day to make a heart, you know, then i, your head gets broken now lightly that now you also gonna thing about, i don't know, i'm more like the guy who makes love song, i really appreciate the woman. yeah. don't do this player things was i think this is time for women. it's, it's your time now. you are to in the show, i'm one guy represented, but i think yes, we must show so much more love and respect because especially also the african

but i think, yes, we must show so much more love and respect because especially also the african women are the backbone of africa. they hold and that's the respect we need to show them. i love this and indeed you have a song that you slightly mentioned about. you have worked together. i am, you know, in working with a power you know what you, you to, to actually working together. i got a, a, a call for my project. say, jo is, is called me and said he wants a song and i'm like a play when me something when me i'm so busy right now. i hung up and i went above my dates. i think the producer called him as a guy, that guy doesn't believe me. so here is the number get a call in and like, okay, for a number and a hello. yeah, this is mag all have you asked people knees i was that was really big. wow. now i have to ask you, why do you think your song, which is why when we united, right, why do you think it's so important right now? i think it's important, especially where, where i come from, you know, because especially in the odds, you know, everybody's trying to do their own thing. everybody is so, so concentrated on

what was through a i didn't want to be boxed in and was psychologically ready for people to reject my ideas. more africa, i humor, go through there. i consider myself an afo features designer. if you're talking about africa, then it's africa, which ultimately inspires me to laugh. quickie must be able to not. oh, oh, well, we'll just swagger is one for the wild. i hope to take it as far as possible and become a showcase for africa. while our opening reprint will, i think, i will probably pub idea if we don't be afraid of obstacles. don't be afraid of difficulty of the moment because there's no shortage of the law. for barbara, but me to have faith in what you do. that's super important. you prefer to see me properly in the shop walters. of people at the top of the liquid a slug is definitely a feat for the young alfred feature he speak you now from the congo. we fly over to the jazz capital in the army which rises like the watches out of the sahara. the city on the banks of the new jerry ver knows how to trade. he then throw apache, and we have the pleasure of following one of the country's biggest, rou

ability for people in africa to thrive despite. hiv tbm malaria, ink the second point is much lower comorbidities compared to the united states much less obesity. and that's why if you look across namibia south africa botswana and eswatini where they do have older individuals where they do have more comorbidities. you see a higher fatality rate from covid. and so the younger generation the less comorbidities certainly under reporting, but i can tell you when you look at access deaths on you don't see the same level of excess deaths and 2020 and 2021 that you see in the developed world. and i think it's really a wake-up call because like you larry we all thought pandemics would be horrific and low and low middle income countries and in the end this pandemic singled out upper and upper middle income kind of incredible and there was no natural a lions of those countries. we were all focused on low and low and middle income countries. so again, there were no formal channels to really share information between our european colleagues and the us and our ce

ben: i want to do everything i can to help africa town right now. vered that community for many years and know that there are all sorts of things that need fixing. so anyway i could let my voice to help, i'm eager to, i have two documentaries in the works that will come out. these are my secret love, these are carnivorous plants, and the other is an aquatic documentary, another underwater film like another one i made. and i will write some more books. as a journalist, i no longer have my daily newspaper job. as a journalist, what i want more than anything is to write something that changes people's lives that helps, and i don't think i could ever come up with anything i could ever do again that would have the power and potential that this story has had. so i just want to get back out there and see what else we can find and what else we could do and i guess the answer is, who knows? susan: on that note, you described this, one of the most profound experiences of your life. you took that phone call from your friend jeff and all of this ensued. i'm wond
