Hello im prissy its good to have your company the risk of dying from and safe abortion is highest in africa according to the World Health Organization it is International Safe abortion day today and the latest reports say is 3 also for abortions that occurred on the continent between 20152019 were unsafe in a moment ill be joined by a lawyer advocating for the procedure to be made legal but 1st heres the story of a young woman in nairobi who survived and safe abortion. We call her mercy but thats not her real name she was 16 when she fell pregnant her mother wanted her to finish school so she forced mercy to abort the baby for fear of repercussions she hides her face. I went to a local medicine man i stayed there for 3 days he gave me herbal medicine and i took it and. On the 2nd day i started seeing blood in that i was very afraid. There were people who were bored and they seemed fine i mean i thought i would die. The. Its estimated that in kenya 7 women die each day from unsafe abortions abortions are illegal unless the mothers life or health is in danger or if theres a rape case thats why women come to this man hes well known for carrying out abortions along with other procedures even though he has no medical training mercy came here to she paid the equivalent of 8 euros for the abortion in the interview however he denies performing abortions but still he wants to hide his identity. I know. Given an injection drug a mess sent home the pregnancy can terminate there many of these women die if there are lucky they do die if theyre lucky the pregnancy terminate safely its usually bad however if. The teenage son i mean by. In most cases women need professional help after the abortion the International Aid organization mary stopes is one of several n. G. O. S in kenya that offers these postabortion Cast Services but theres a lot of uncertainty says daisy abdullah. We dont have clear Guidelines National guidelines on money doing this postabortion care so so so were going to football should subsist therefore this stigma that envelops as goes down to these women no doubt who has no option and doesnt know where to talk to. Of course merci would have preferred to see a real doctor 3 years later shes still suffering from the traumatic experience because those men will just give you some kind of medicine and then tell you when the pregnancy has been terminated they only want your money in the end youre the one who has to suffer. For despite the stigma she faces from her community she thinks every woman should have the right to a safe abortion. But not everyone agrees with mostly about that other women in kenya told us how they felt about abortion might be about abortion is bad its not a good idea in the best way to do a repeat is educating people you are few and about ways to avoid getting real like contraceptives abstain mounds condoms and whatever other ways are there in the market to avoid when someone has conceived. Life already growing in sabeel once you do that its like youre saying no to life so i dont think you are bush i mean its right to humanity im a bush inhuman in most cases especially when its its not been pretty thought to be the person where you just decide to end their life you dont know if this could have been the next big thing in this world this child would have been something important its only in cases where would say the mother is in danger that it is ok so in fact that is the case in much of africa women are only permitted to terminate a pregnancy if it poses a threat to their life or a risk to their help only 4 countries on the continent. The ones shaded in blue allow women to get an abortion on request with no reasons given in fact in south africa women and girls do not need consent from anybody. For more on this story i am joined by evelyn open door she is a human rights lawyer and is Senior Regional director for africa at the center for reproductive rights welcome to news Africa Evelyn the overwhelming majority of African Women and child of childbearing age live in countries with respect to abortion goals. Tell us why it is important according to that that changes thank you very much now a bush is a Health Care Just like any other health care. Unfortunately its highly regulated its legislated and we do know that in africa 99 percent of abortions that will cry in africa i dont see if we also know that. We have one Maternal Death in every 150 cases in africa thats a very high of them considering that my journey 2 of these deaths preventable and we know what we can do to prevent these deaths and number of women dying from unsafe abortion and then another huge percentage that i living with lifelong disability that the kind to treat and elbow this is a critical issue. And it isnt enough for a government to say it provides access to contraception and therefore base no need to get into the legal izing off abortion which often has implications because of the moral standing up of a society for example no its not enough contraceptives do not even when you use them they do not always prevent pregnancy there will always be a percentage ofelia that we give allowance for but other than that. If you look at the countries in africa abortion is also allowed for example where these hes been raped or insist and some of these are things that you cannot prevent weve weve got to separate is because it in any case you are not anticipating to to get into a relationship and also if you look at our lows of. Abortion is allowed when the life or health of the woman is in danger so its a Health Service that can be its going to be a life saving him i didnt see for women and contraceptives we look to be the solution its good. To have but it must be minted with the mishas right evan it im hearing you say and it does appear according to to the fact that in most countries where abortion poses. A threat to a womans life in the event that a woman has been raped she is she is allowed to have an abortion what then becomes the compelling case to allow abortion in circumstances other than that well. You know when when when how life is in danger or when high health is in danger thats means its can be a life threatening condition but if you look at countries such as zambia. Social grounds so she cannot make grounds is given as a ground for abortion if you look at. The what health different mission of Health Health it includes such economic grounds and therefore if a woman can know what you know take care of this pregnancy if this thing i see an awful social economic reasons she is and able to see this pregnancy to tom then she should be allowed to mean it that pregnancy ok evelyn thats all we have time for today thank you very much for your insight and adding to our program yesterday on dating is africa. The ball does marking 1000000 deaths related to cough it 19 and just over 35000 of them have been in africa and thats off 11 expects have predicted now west affected on the continent is south africa with more about half of africas states the good news is those figures are dropping and the government is easing lockdown measures but corona virus has significantly affected the way south africans mourn their dead. In the village of metol in bids farewell to one of its own. As always preacher nelson says on is there the 86 year old has performed hundreds of funeral ceremonies in the village but since the coronavirus pandemic things have changed. With a marked increase we greet the body of the young man who shall bring him to his familys land to lie in peace you will not. Be with us father and these are unusual times. Not to jump on to much has changed because of the coronavirus pandemic on the people at this point which is torturing the whole world. To finance is god be with us as we make this journey in the word. And you always think oh i know womans involvement i know. The burial weaves christian prayers with traditional rituals. But the pandemic means there are restrictions. Although the deceased died in an accident. The coffin cannot be carried into the home where people usually come to pay their respects. Probably about. It doesnt sit right with me. We cant bury him the way wed like to. Many friends wanted to come but werent allowed because of covert. Usually the ceremony would begin in the house a coffin is brought in so we can speak to him goodbye but we have to do it outside in front of the hearse. No more than 100. 00 mourners are allowed to attend usually hundreds will come to a funeral and the ceremony would last the whole day. Under covert restrictions it can last 3 hours food is shared but has to be taken home to eat. A funeral traditions are very important to us here and its the main way we show our respect to the deceased. Usually a cow is slaughtered and everyone eats from it as a token of appreciation with. Some other covert has made that impossible for people who cover it is affected as deeply many people in my village have died. There behind the hill for members of one family died from that. Over there its the same story. The burial takes place with even fewer mourners present and strict hygiene rules apply. Preacher says ani hopes an end to the pandemic will. Come soon so the traditions that mean so much to him can be kept alive here in the eastern cape. And thats maybe even the checkout of the stories on the come forward slash africa were also on facebook and twitter my handle is at one. Time. Every 2 seconds the person is forced to flee their home. The consequences to say stress our documentary series displaced depicts dramatic humanitarian crises from around the world. Fuck it then we dont have time to think i didnt go to university to kill people. I mean.

Welcome to arts and culture and this week with del big deep into the d. W. Archives for our series ninetys we visited a german time trip the momentous changes here following the fall of the burden was also coming up. The arts on the wall revisited 30 years after its side gallery was created. And the greats poets ryan about only wrote one novel featured today in 100 job one must reads. We begin though with our series on the headed mystic decade of the 990 s. After the fall of the bubble in wall a time when German Society changed in so many different ways scenes here from 30 years ago celebrations surrounding german reunification. Series begins with a look at german music which suddenly became very cool in the ninetys and the music genre emerging here that went on to conquer the worlds techno. I think. The love parade a generation celebrates itself after the fall of the wall brylin became a playground for fans of electronic music. But hearing it puts you in a great mood. Only a few 100 people were at the 1st parade but by the end of the ninetys the event drew more than 1000000 to party in berlin streets. In techno took off and deejays like west bam and my russia helped to make it world famous. Germanys music business also grew the pop column was a stablished a combination trade Fair Convention and festival its founder dieter gone he had recognized the signs of the times. I wish everyone a successful pop con 1993. 27 years later hes now a professor of media studies and. He remembers the spirit of optimism back in the ninetys. That for me the ninetys were the decade when german pop music really developed and it was euphoric because we suddenly sense there was a Creative Power that was spreading because the target demographic was suddenly there just isnt suitable. For many years pop com was an important Meeting Place for the music scene fans producers bands germany the worlds 3rd largest music market was discovering its own potential. To be more showing the world how good the music is by having a lot of fun with it like every year with our festival were also trying to create an identity. With. The name of german rap became popular band the fantastic in fear the fantastic 4 conquered the german charts a minor revolution. The German Market was incredibly strong incredibly important but there was no opportune. The for it to present itself that was a nice demonstration of our own artistic creative strengths i always said pop come wasnt a trade fair it was a message the message the message gone away and a few others decided that german music needed its own television station so in 1903 they launched the german Music Channel fever in an effort to compete with its american 4 runner m. T. V. Always on. I understand your. Goal the film and then we wanted to be at the end of the end and may then i at spock walk or i ask why not quite a benefit much of them ok yeah. Kids come home from school and turn on viva so it had to be a companion for all their important issues as well as music it was more than an attempt at an anti m. T. V. Diva was almost magic in that way. Magic. Even held out until 20 gay teen when it went off. But much has remained from the ninetys. For instance new german hardness embodied by formed back in the ninetys they now play to sort it out stadiums world block german song lyrics became cool in the ninetys and are now par for the course. On how to put it in other words we really felt we could create something out of nothing and turn it into something great for me it was a decade of new beginnings and momentum was a wonderful move. Today german d. J. s and pop stars like Robin Schultz and felix nene enjoy a global success and the roots of their music lie in the 990. 00 s. When german pop music stepped out of the shadows. And that was the 1st part of our series ninetys revisited a german time trip is leading up to this region the 1st a thought about st john reunification with. Now is a man who had a front seat in the historic decade here a good candidate now an important time for german music that yes in particular for the rise of pop culture as we saw in that pool of course famous nightclub but kind emerged from that ninetys scene the song that ice months strongly associate with the ninetys is by snap palla snap were euro dance act from frankfurt and this really sums up the ninetys spirit from the sometimes cheesy but very positive vibe it was a time of great hope and yeah it was indeed what else is in store in this series but each episode contains d w footage rediscovered in an extensive search of our archives our archive team doc up gems from the legendary. Magazine program heat so i think your remember its they tracked down the protectiveness to reflect on then and now and each episode looks at different aspects of life in the new reunified germany at gender identity and sex in the ninetys as east and west quite literally came together at the rise of ecological activism at an emerging racism which was not only confined to the east of the country and the series looks at changing attitudes and asks are there still divisions in east and west mentality that our car team also picked up some pictures of you. Working on east German Television what was that about what will shortly after the wall fell in the 1990 i did do some light hearted reports for east German Television. East germany of course continue to sr october of that year the idea of the sea was actually that i was teaching east germans english because they dont russian in school i did get to play in the legendary open venue the route out with real social distancing i guess they just want to win the audience. Thank you adrian much more to look forward to this week classic moments from the v. W. Archive happening all this week. The standard program. Includes a walk along the side gallery a piece of the berlin wall which was painted by various artists shortly after the wall fell indeed it is the only major bridge of the infamous wall Still Standing exactly 30 years after the opening of the gallery we meet one of the original wall artists. 1. 3 kilometers of street art the once formidable wall is now colorfully decorated including with the noise world famous heads the french artist started painting the western side of the berlin wall back in the 1980 s. It was his way of coping with the depressing reality of the citys division. I had some physical reaction i have to do something against that. Live place. And so i start to paint the wall to give a smaller message not a big one this more may say its possible to do something on your home on these deadly machine some left over paint a ladder and a big dose of courage that was all it took to give the socalled antifascist protective wall a friendlier look the long faces with button eyes were purely pragmatic decision. So it was with those had been quite quickly and the lords its a perfect size 2 this is a bear in war so to me to 40 by 3 made a 60. Then the wall fell and most of it was dismantled including most of mars for feeding but one segment was preserved and became the east side gallery in 199118 artists from 21 countries painted the berlin wall legal wars colorful figures became global icons of street art his Mission Remains the same the fight against. So is it pop art or political when you think on the streets its ultimately political because you change the city. And. Nora says the east side gallery has lost its significance for him in the meantime reunified berlin has moved on newly constructed buildings now towers over the diminishing the powerful effect of one town. Is no. Small thing so its hard to connect. And. Thats what this war was. Giving me for chance its time to focus on a new topic. Very much worth a visit the austrian a rhino maria is considered one of the great lyrical poets of the german language he wrote just wall novel the notebooks of mild to lorad spring set in the cultural metropolis of early 20th century paris a city that surprisingly didnt enjoy the book doesnt really have a plot but is rather the musings of a great mystery. Do you ever feel like youre living in the wrong time like things used to be simpler calmer more poetic. The poet i dont know was both fascinated and overwhelmed by the pace of modern life and that was more than a century ago he started writing his 1st and last novel after moving to paris as a young man for notebooks of malta lower its break 1st at the beginning of the 20th century. It was a daunting cruel exciting new time he wanted to capture the spirit of that time and also his struggle to write new literature for it so he invented an alter ego well to break out another foreign young poet struggling to make ends meet and express himself well to describes paris as a city of outcasts are both life and death are terribly and on this. I sit here and im nothing and yet theres nothing begins to think is it possible that one has not yet seen recognised and said anything real and important is it possible that one has had thousands of years of time so book with black and white down and that one has left the when he had passed away like a School Recess in which one of its one sandwich and apple. The book is about the artist as an outsider and observer struggling to turn the world of prose into poetry. The notebooks of malta lords berger is one of the 1st works of modernist literature written in stream of consciousness without sentimentality or a clear plot.
