i want, i want to ask him what his death will name for south africa is that is a blow to south africa, but also it enriches of africa because i think is left a legacy that no one can avoid it when it comes to his death. now of course that figure is no longer around, but did his legacy ended the dismal to the legacy a that from dish and that delivery be behind him? i think it's going to strengthens lufkin when it comes to a patio deal to remain a father figure in terms of what his danville discount in terms of bring you to call solution. yes, racism was still in south africa, but today is going to be credited for fighting very hard to make sure there is no a party opinions of africa. all right, thank you too sir. kamala, date of lead correspondent in south africa. are christians around the world have bay marking christmas day, but in many parts of europe? the celebrations have been scaled back. i made a massive surge of cove at 19 cases. thousands of people across britain have taken the opportunity to get vaccinated daily infections in the u. k jumped about 100000 this wake for the 1st

it is actually very sad and not only for south africa but for africa as a continent. , a father, a human who was there notjust for the south african people but for africa as a nation, africa as a unit, africa as one. ifeel very, very, very down emotionally right now because he was somebody that almost everybody liked, especially the kids, they loved him. very sad, it was a real shock to us. he was a great man. somebody to look up to, we are really going to miss him. tributes have been coming in from leaders around the world. the president of south africa, cyril ramaphosa, has posted on twitter saying... the prime minister of india, narenda modi, said... and the uk prime minister, borisjohnson said... let's get more now from our nomsa maseko whojoins us live from soweto, outside desmond tutu's home. i should imagine that there is no great surprise in his death. he withdrawn from public life, he had just turned 90, but the loss of such a good figure, a revered figure, and an controversially powerful figure must be felt very deeply in the community. it must be felt very d

policy, our teeth, johannesburg, south africa, run notes, the ceo of south africa, the largest private health insurance is down. so the testing in this country are groundless. our genetic screening of samples in south africa is outstanding, the best in the world, and hence lead to this early detection on the wrong. so, you know, failure to accept kind of a testing from south africa. ready is confusing, it's a great sadness when politics interferes in science and it is a very distressing. ready situation for many people who are seeking to travel at this time of year punishing south africa this way by limiting travel and effectively imposing a lock down from external countries really does incentivize those kind of behavior from around the world. so it really is difficult to understand. failure to provide equal worldwide access to vaccines, may result in new coven strains emerging. that's the warning from the president of the international federation of the red cross. he gave an exclusive interview. he was here at our to discussing not only the war on cove. it also the poland, beller is m

earlier i spoke to dw, corresponded to so kamala in johannesburg, south africa, and asked him how the end came for such a beloved figure. yes, a dozen, one to 2, a passed away a to day. and this morning at 9 t is his spin africa full when it comes to a party and fighting a pattern of africa. he's one person we've known for doing his best. you know that when that messenger dealer and the lex with prison it was to, to, was out he had trying by all means and to protect and fight for justice, for those who could not fight for justice themselves. and we know that in his last it is last years. and the past years he has been in an out of hospital because he had prostate cancer and day at to 9 to obviously he had done. his beauty was really in the opin or in the public because of his ill health. but a easy, really, a hero at pearson was been seen by a lot of stuff kens as next to nelson mandela. because the fight that he made a for apple, did you remember shooting update in the when updated was rounding up use the men was there in the requisition commission way. he was a at to them to collect

because no other person does it in south africa. hat was a tremendous influence on him because he had seen that not all white people behaved very badly towards black south africans, and that is what made him the sort of person he was. he was, though, a man of peace. he won the nobel peace prize. there were some people who wanted to oppose white rule with violence, but he was very much a man of peace. yes, because he would say... and he had a lot of phrases he actually came up with. he said, "every human person is a stand—in for god, so when you encounter another person, even the enemy, you have got to treat them in the way god has made them, to be in his image and likeness." and therefore there was no question of violence. i could neverforget his praise to an eight—year—old girl who asked him, "how do you become a nobel peace prize winner?" and he said, "well, you have got to have a very simple name like tutu. you have got to have a big nose. and you have got to have sexy legs." now, this is desmond tutu! he was describing how he won

it really struck me that it is citizens, really trying to help citizens, citizens of south africa. and mike has citizens of canada. it's not the government trying to help citizen. and i think it really needs to be the other way around the canada saying we trust south african scientists enough to block our own citizens from getting home and put so many different obstacles in place for them to get home. but at the same time, we don't have time to take from so you can't be tested in south africa. and that makes absolutely no sense to me. when a goldman was in south africa with her husband, where she celebrated her father. when he was 90th birthday, she was one of the lucky few to get to frankfort the way she spoke with us while in transit. basically, you need to have it to even start africa. you just get on the flight to germany, then you need one in, you know, in transit. then when we robin toronto, we have a case, we then have to current teen in a hotel. and so we get back negative. if it's negative, we allowed to go home that have to current teen for the 14 days as well as get a tas
