one of the world's top economies yet complaining is a national pastime little rich germany is one topic i'll let any german complain about as much as they want and that's connectivity is a pain in the neck trying to get a good internet connection in my apartment or elsewhere in berlin and if you travel out of the capital things generally get even worse and that's terrible for small and medium sized enterprises here many of which have located in rural areas the thing is patchy coverage can cost the company a lot of money made report a cloudy last shock went to find out how much. mobile phone reception out in the mongolian step. no problem mongolian nomads like to watch videos and listen to music as much as anyone. can but here in north end germany businessman determined man has to go outside when
he wants to make a call. and even then he only gets a signal when the weather is good. his company makes industrial fittings like those used in drilling platforms most of the firms customers brought to. the company also draws up construction plans and digital sketches which it's expected to share with partners more or less immediately. but the internet connection here is so slow that the company often can't even send data from one of its offices to another city and i'm from new to the city to the sketch we have here is very complex but we didn't use a large format of this it's only forty five megabytes. even though the servers a link which the upload speed with the rate at which the data is transferred from one server to another is just to make
a bit. so depending on how busy our server is the city could take up to an hour to transfer forty five megabytes. but the boss doesn't have time to wait so while the data is transferring he set off with a used piece take to drop it off by car the company's other office is a ten minute drive away merman estimates that the patchy internet connection between its two locations cost a firm about sixty thousand euros a month. many german companies have similar problems the volume of data is growing but the country's networks are old and overloaded new fiber optic networks able to transfer up to a thousand gigabits per second are being built but internationally germany is woefully slow when it comes to fiber optic expansion people in japan and south korea already get over seventy six percent of their broadband firefight about the cables. get seventy percent the highest figure in europe it's followed by sweden
where two thirds of the country now has access to fiber optic networks broadband is also increasingly available in other european countries but not in germany where fiber optic coverage is just two percent. i meet up with an entrepreneur in berlin he says his clients want to see the government finally follow through on its promise to deliver high speed internet. to political politicians and big business aren't ready to invest in fiber optics and modern mobile communications. of course something to do with the cause which would be between ten and fifteen billion euros. across ten years that's not in fact such a lot it's a very sound investment if you do the math it will cost two hundred fifty euros per family household to get five coverage. that shouldn't be
a problem in an industrialized country that's one of the richest in the world. i ask that come the federal association for information technology why there's little state investment in broadband expansion gates is that companies have investment fund so the money is there there's a lot of willingness to invest in fiber optic networks and there are plenty of state funding programs available to further expansion but in terms of funding broadband expansion in germany did get off to a slow start to start that. if germany fails to get up to speed the economic consequences will be severe digitalisation is transforming economies worldwide by revolutionizing everything from robots and factories to virtual reality that could move us on a facial recognition and digital identity those applications and others demand fast efficient data transfer networks. it's estimated that effective
digitalisation in germany could make a difference of one hundred fifty four billion euros over the next five years that's about one percent growth in g.d.p. annually. in the meantime moment has arrived at his company's second office with his use of the stick. and the upload he initiated is still going on at a snail's pace just to make up bits per second. millions of we really need to be reaching speeds of fifty or one hundred megabits not just in our section would be put off like us but he won't be so if we want to take part in digitalization and benefit from the industry four point zero development then we need to be able to transfer large volumes of data so you. need a moment says german network operators aren't investing enough in rural areas and political decision making is too slow hampering progress too slow just like his
upload which still hasn't gone through. now it's not like the germans are still walking around using these but sometimes it feels like him by his well being with such slow connections that's why there's so much excitement about the next communication standard five g. some experts say that in terms of impact its introduction will be comparable to the invention of the mobile phone five g. is supposed to be ten times faster than the current four g. set. and you networks are expected to support up to a million connections per square kilometer but will it really be a revolution. has a breakdown of how it all works. this is my i phone it uses four g. or l.t.e. network technology it's not that fast but five g. is set to change all that and revolutionize mobile connectivity and it might even
transform our lives well at least that's what some tech companies are claiming. autonomous vehicles can only function properly with five g. . the same is true for remote robotic surgery. that's because five g. is expected to be ten times as fast as four g. and is going to support many more devices at the same time. it will make a huge difference when you download big files with three g. it took about seven hours to download an h.d. movie with four g. it takes about three minutes but with five g. it might take just two seconds for. that annoying wait while a page loads will be a thing of the past four g. has a latency or response time of about thirty milliseconds five g. they say we'll have a latency of under one millisecond doesn't sound like much in emergencies during
autonomous driving minimizing the response time could mean the difference between life and the same goes for remote surgery. what's more five g. will support at least one million devices per square kilometer a thousand times more than now at least according to service provided by twenty twenty but currently there are not nearly enough cellphone towers many many more are needed for five g. to work that could cost five hundred billion euros in europe alone well i'll believe it when i see it. seeing is believing let's see if we're still complaining about connectivity come twenty twenty but apart from that most of the moaning in high flying germany is completely unjustified ever since i've been reporting on europe's biggest economy the most
common phrase i've come across as far as industrial performance goes is order books full is a look at some of the facts and figures that definitely paint a picture of prosperity. this is the germany from tourist brochures the way the country is often perceived abroad and the statistics show germany is indeed a prosperous nation should. for years now unemployment has been dropping steadily. only five percent of the people here are without a job that's the lowest figure since german reunification in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight. german firm st hardly be doing better their passing right now . as a result germany's g.d.p. has risen steadily for the past eight years last year it topped three point two trillion euros. that's good news for the german government which has
more and more money at its disposal berman currently presides over a budget surplus of thirty six point six billion euros. germany has also become a master of innovation that's because the country's research institutes are top notch and they're well connected with industry just. so the view from berlin and looks pretty good right now and there's certainly no reason to moan right. cops just found another thing to complain about burger led did top the list of world cities with the fastest rising property prices last year that means iran and the building burn continues again to put it into perspective here's what you'll pay for a regular two bedroom flat in hong kong new york or paris that's still
a lot more than in berlin but look at how fast prices of climbing in the german capital red surged by over twenty five percent in the last three years that's a lot. for something other big city dwellers knows so well has suddenly become a problem here as well as finding an affordable place to live in compose a major challenge. the real estate listings called it a single apartment with a view more than twenty would be renters have come to look at a small apartment at the back of the house. one of them is a jar he's been looking for a flat for months and is destined for disappointment once again the landlord wants five hundred sixty five euros a month for the one room apartment as well as barry salary statements and credit ratings. documentation i'm not looking for
a mansion it's just thirty square metres it's outrageous that. a sales rep drives a company car and has a style physician but he's currently living in his friends along garden cottage he got. friends letting me crash here he said the weather's still nice and you can shower the gym. sure i'll take it. obviously. but now it's autumn and the cottage has no heating. so she wound up back to reading wanted ads viewing flats and coping with one rejection after another. he says landlords are brazenly taking advantage of housing shortage. put in new flooring and painted the walls he showed me some receipts for supplies and labor and wanted three thousand euros of the books of course for the renovation
work i told him i may be desperate. isn't giving up he's even resorted to placing his own ad to appeal to land notes he's written about his qualities as a serious and reliable tenant but he's had no response. jennifer surrogate's clients have an easier time of it most have management positions in international companies that are setting up branches in belin. upscale apartments that fit the requirements are very exclusive clean and tell but she also sees the necessary paperwork the relocation agent is seeing a change in the housing market client base has also changed over the past five years since you know i'm sure you know germans who've moved here from other german states or after stay abroad they do some looking on their own and they realise how hard it is to find a place so they engage a professional that's the best way to do it these days. and. estimates put
germany's housing shortage at least one million apartments it's most critical in large cities like. the german capital acquires forty thousand new residents every year exacerbating the problem new units can't be built fast enough demand is particularly high and quite spoke district rents here have doubled in the past ten years dozens of people have come to look at yet another overpriced flat many of them have been looking for a long time that frustrated. people in one crummy apartment that's how it is. frustration your frustration every place you go to same people. ready to go no idea what i'll do. is rather not move back to my parents' house i may have no choice. also has to make compromises after an intense search he finally has a home to call his own
a pretty good location with two large rooms and a balcony the only hitch the rent is more than a thousand euros a month. and half my salary but i had no alternative i was thinking of. paying far more rent than one's budget allows so many people in big cities it's become the only way to put a brief over their heads. one important. factor for development in any country is education and that's an area where germany hasn't excelled in international comparisons one reason why increasing numbers of parents here are sending their kids to private schools they offer better facilities and more modern teaching methods than their publicly funded counterparts so how big is the growing gap between public and private education in germany his chi stein ika. louisa and a stately manor in northern germany once owned by royalty today it's
a private boarding school. since i was like everything here is new or the smarts are clean the goggles aren't scratched and all the equipment works. and this is the best talk place secondary school in berlin it was built thirty years ago and it's state run. they're not integrating any modern stuff they still use school books and chalkboards to teach. those wishing to attend to louisa and need wealthy parents or a scholarship like björk lucas has she's been here since the ninth grade the core classes for bjork and her classmates are chemistry biology and physics after spending a few years at a public school she transferred to louisa two years ago. when
i hear five life compared to my old school and everything works a lot better here i'm so it's cleaner you know where there's a quick meet you can really work with. sure there are things that aren't so great about the school but that's not just the case here. that applies to a lot of schools and. tom calma school is the battle placed high school compared to louise and louise annual budget of thirty five thousand euros per student the state run battle left school has to manage with eight thousand nine hundred euros per child. after completing high school tom would like to become a media designer his parents made a very conscious decision to send their children to state run rather than private schools. so we discussed it with the whole family and with each other as parents took some thought but we eventually decided against
a private school based on the experiences i've had of want. this to go crucial aspect was recognizing that most problems our children will confront in their lives are societal problems and if you don't know the larger community the problems will be harder to resolve. to act louise and learn to there are only four pupils and physics class. all of the thirty five thousand euro scholarship and tuition money is invested in modern equipment instruction and room and board for the students. as a foundation the school can't make a profit and that has advantages. thank you so many say the biggest difference compared to my old school is that the teachers have more time for each student. they know us better they know our strengths and our weaknesses. tang's teacher nora grants
on the other hand has to contend with twenty to twenty five kids per class. and more like her are needed over forty thousand teaching positions are unfilled in germany the school may have technical equipment like computers but not enough for fifteen hundred pupils my judgment is a sold out is tested because the school is so big you don't always have access to the equipment when you need it so you have to improvise your lesson plan. in addition to the teacher shortage a lot of state run schools are in dire need of renovation but too often any work that is done is carried out while the school is in session private schools are different they are financed by donations in tuition fees and are largely independent of politics to parallel worlds but tom isn't just courage by that.
if. i still think that a lot of students have the chance of succeeding depends on what you want to do it comes down to the individual. and the optimism of a fifteen year old but the fact is germany invests only four point one percent of its gross domestic product in education that's well below the european average. feed industries here germany needs skilled stuff especially in the stem disciplines science technology engineering and mathematics but a recent study warns if the government doesn't do something about it it could be a shortfall of over six million trained personnel by twenty thirty the problems compounded by the fact that employees with good qualifications a sort all over the world that's the case in vietnam where a fledgling car industry is taking shape. for years communities and how long they in northern vietnam have lived from fishing and tourism. but that is changing rapidly.
in the nearby city of high fung with its giant seaport trade is growing especially with china. just a year ago this area was a muddy no man's land now it's the site of one of vietnam's most spectacular projects. vietnamese conglomerate vin group is investing three point five billion dollars in it to build a modern automobile factory for its brand been fast but one of its chief executives worked for many years for germany's b.m.w. and bosch which have provided production technology for the brand but the plan is to produce a vin fast car made entirely in vietnam. this is a call that was a dream for vietnamese to have our own car maker here in vietnam when fast is already a magnet he said need. the vietnamese economy has been growing steadily year after
year the traffic is still dominated by motorbikes. that could change once cars start rolling off the home based production line machines with technology made in germany will help realize vietnam's dream of a domestic car brand and many are keen to be a part of it when. i was born and raised in stuttgart i studied in hyderabad and after graduating i came to vietnam i wanted to work in another country to gain some new experiences i have been with been fast since february so i've been fast. there's a sense of optimism here that's drawing lots of talent to the country. the young people from vietnam and elsewhere are learning to. developed competitive production processes this training center opened in mid september it offers trainees sixty percent practice and forty percent theory based on the model of germany's dual
study programs. when i were young is it look my passion and do now is to my past and. we will. vietnam's communist government largely allows the private economy free reign. group has four million customers in vietnam it owns and runs department stores and housing complexes now it's been recruiting skilled staff for its automotive are moving fast. and i studied in germany and lived there for a long time. for me this is a really great opportunity. it's a fulfillment of a dream to be able to move on my knowledge and experience it makes me happy please
. with italian design german technology and affordable price tag the vin fast models are intended for vietnam's growing middle class. germany is a highly developed country and i think the dream here is to bring part of its knowledge and technology to vietnam to move the country forward one must plan for and supporting. then fast management is not thinking small. the deputy c.e.o. says automobiles made in vietnam could be a success all over asia as long as the quality and price are right. the factory is due to be turning out electric motor bikes by late twenty eighteen. and one year later its first cars. we are looking forward to seeing the first italian via the means job cuts any questions or comments get in touch with me on twitter or talk to our team on facebook nice to have you here mate see you again sir.

i'm christine wonderwall come to news africa i'm glad your chin day in and the lawn call over libya by the world health organization who say more than two hundred people have been killed and hundreds more wounded this week as fighting rages over the capital tripoli the call comes as the united nations fails to agree on taking action to stop powerful militias. in his attempts to overthrow the un backed government in the capital now with fighting also intensifying one of the regions in libya at least twenty five thousand people have been displaced in recent days i'll be discussing the dynamics of this nation's farah but first this report on the situation on the ground. denying zahra loci to ten kilometers away from the center of the libyan capital tripoli a new wave of displaced people lined up to see food and water. supplies managed to
escape from the clashes we tried to stay in their homes but we couldn't anymore because the shelling intensified. since the fighting began seven thousand people have had to flee i never alone and this is what they are fleeing from rockets fired on the neighborhood of abu salem in the capital tripoli. grad rockets hit indiscriminately they hit innocent people in the middle of the capital it's one of the most densely populated parts of tripoli with. the rocket fire has been blamed on forces loyal to commanders after two weeks ago his self-styled national army. advanced on the country's capital tripoli adding another layer to the almost eighty year old conflict in libya. qatar's forces said they would take the city within days but prime minister faiza said rogers international recognized government has
resisted strongly with the help of armed groups from various western libyan factions. but that's coming at a price hundreds gathered in tripoli to attend the funeral of a government backed fighter. takeover bench on this criminal who's killing our children he's coming to invade tripoli. have to learn a blame the rocket fire and what it calls terrorist militias whose grip on the capital it says it is trying to and. for more on the story and the plays in it i'm joined by. another let's let's get straight into this and talk about the timing of all of this why is anyone have to going for tripoli now. that he will be weakened now because you have to share power with a you won back. overnight in tripoli two months ago he was in abu dhabi with the head of the government of tripoli's raj and people were talking about a kind of
a peace deal that was being brought and there should be elections to the end of the year so i think if the house didn't fund really to share the power with the other governments you want to try to seize the power in tripoli and also the moment where the jury and the government there are june army was preoccupied with the demonstrations inside of your ear and be the only leader of libya so that's why he sees that moment and actually maybe he succeeded in terms of the that the the conference that was in mid april. you know in the auspices of the u.n. was canceled so kind of success ok for him ok so i mean he is the man people would be reading about it and hearing about right now we've put a bit of a bit of a portrait on him let's have a look at that and they will continue our conversation that it. is by no means
a new comer to libya's political scene throughout for decades the military strongman has shifted from the center to the periphery and is now a default front of the conflict in libya. once a close ally to mamma khadafi have to spend more than two decades exiled in the u.s. following the fall out with the former president have to return to libya and twenty eleven during the nato backed uprising that ousted and killed. he rose to become one of the top military commanders leading rebels. in twenty fourteen he started consolidating his power and now controls territory in the eastern and so the regions of the country. now he has his eyes on the capital tripoli where in twenty sixteen an internationally recognized government has been installed but has since struggled to exert control over the country and numerous militias around the city. have to reportedly wants to become the head of libya's army following a national reconciliation deal with his group the libyan national army to become
the country's armed forces but with his forces at the gates of tripoli after may calculate that his move can be used to grab power or be leveraged to extract demands during negotiations. ok that is so we know more about his ambitions now but it's about trippy is he going to be able to take that city he planned take tripoli in two days when he launches offensive two weeks ago no it's two weeks he did not succeed so yet on the other hand he wanted to kind of a swift power grab and and soft power grab but until now we have seen lots of deaths and casualties and many many people displaced so we don't know how much power he actually has but it doesn't look that the this will go as he actually initially wished ok let's talk about the foreign policy we know that there was a u.n. security council meeting on thursday night and they failed to reach a resolution on peace in libya part of that is rated due to the fact that they
couldn't agree on the have to why is that there are many powers in libya competing over libya we have a kind of a bloc in the arab world that's saudi arabia the united arab emirates and. egypt the neighbor the eastern neighbors of libya and they see in the strong man the strong military man who can bring stability to libya and can fight extremism on the other hand we have a un backed government which is supported by the u.n. and by italy mainly but still there are the conflicting interests france also. plays a very big role in that so. also in other countries like syria that you know the security council cannot agree even on a smaller reserve lucian regarding libya so we have kind of
a power struggle but it looks like france at least will take no more moderate. position between that these two governments competing governments half there and the un backed government so it's a very complicated situation right now del cyrus is arabic department thank you. now that hustle is something we africans know all too well our next report takes us to angola and the city off where the majority of the population is yet and the infrastructure isn't in place to provide for the me see appetite for a good education isn't catered for by the schools and colleges that exist but some industrious yif are taking matters into their own hands. and go in the second largest city it's a young city more than half of its one and a half million inhabitants are under fifteen years old they need cool universities
the kitchen of training and jobs. but in state the education system is in a dire state it's the same story all over the city in the problems begin at primary school. ashfall are those meals they sent we have two thousand six hundred ninety pupils that's a lot but we only have fifteen classroom hours lots of people have to learn outdoors where they have the sun dust and noisy traffic to contend with this does not live up to educational standards. that. the hours for the crisis can be felt throughout the school system all the way out to university with high tuition fees low quality and meager job prospects there are currently ten thousand university students in one bill and that number is on the rise many of them will get
a degree but what is that really worth. the quality has not improved that means that a lot of students have degrees that aren't really worth anything at all they just pieces of paper that's a big problem in. may he was against all odds there are some success stories in. stories of young people who hedge their bets like hairdresser and student edna central. with the money that i earn here in my beauty salon i can pay my tuition fees and make a living but it's business. edna is thirty one years old and always dreamt of being a successful business woman and she's not satisfied with the one business leader she wants to open more silence and have lots of employee youth oh and alongside her work she also studies marketing in business at a private catholic university. but
to get the meds she wishes fees alone set me back twenty nine thousand kwan's a month with study materials on top of that we're talking fifty thousand pounds a month only the materials and books are expensive and particularly hard to come by and one by province. fifty thousand kwan's of that one hundred forty euros invested in her studies every month like edna more than seven thousand students in one go to private universities. much hungerford question here despite all the difficulties lots of young people grow out and find work to finance their studies on the same. me too i'm kind of dog is also fighting for his future he and some of his money is a wedding photographer he doesn't have a proper to do yet so he set up a walk space in the corner of his living go. fish
the queer for photography is definitely my artistic calling it's what i do in my spare time that week and my clients respect my work because i work with passion and i have noticed that there is a market for what i do and god given. direction depends on two jobs mitten could also is also often also pretty to other school that compares young people with university but it's a temporary position and far from stable. these days we need that time b. i certainly don't want to be dependent on my teach our. young people in one bill and indeed all of the cannot rely on the state to provide them with a stable future many of them have already figured this out they are finding their own way through a dippy flawed system. some inspirational staff and that is it from
africa you can catch on news on our website or facebook page with a view of our with images off the colorado marathon event in egypt by for now. sometimes books more exciting than real once. every turn. what if there's no. list. german must treat. time to take.
time to such they are no. fun for the troops. time to over come down trees and connecticut. it's time for. the deputy is coming up ahead. mines. hello and welcome to news from the world of culture today we just have the one topic because this year is the one hundredth anniversary of bali house this is the legendary school of architecture and design the stuff of the nineteen nineteen from there are so many events taking place here it's made germany a top tourist attraction the lonely planet travel guide has ranked its second in the world as the most recommended travel destination of twenty nineteen. now
due to lung cancer. hi there and a warm welcome to our arts and culture news and before we start with a fantastic news ical project from south africa let's have a quick look at what else is coming up on today's program. it's flower time in the belgian capital brussels and the city hall at the center. and if you bend it like beckham well you're sure to like the latest film from british director chad out blinded by the light blends a u.k. coming of age story with the music. well it was in 1998 that peter guy and american double bass player who had moved to
south africa started the ball toby last string project it began with 18 kids from the black townships around. and since then hundreds of children from disadvantaged backgrounds have learned to play a string instrument well today the orchestra travels the world and we took in their performance at the right angle festival in western germany. far away from home south africa's bunch of string orchestra plays a piece of music called the nelson. program is a nod to. the pieces by austrian composer joseph biden. never performing it with a choir from hydrants from country for many it's a 1st visit to the continent of the music they started i love the way. european people just. come from. various they're very serious about the music and the beauty of music african music is.
played its rhythm with classical music is like you have to be in control of the piece it's been expressing their emotions even when you're playing it when you're playing this little piece and. you're sad for no reason or whatever. and then you play this little piece and. so that. it really brings out that frustration a lot of for me. before the concert it's rehearsals. the group also plays and sings south african pieces. the concert is dedicated to their country's triumph over apartheid. eat. on a visit to south africa violist cooking takes us to his home at the edge of the town
afraid of ford. he started playing his instrument just 4 years ago thanks to teachers from the group's outreach program who regularly visit his community. now the 16 year old practices his instrument 4 hours a day. lives here with his mother and sisters and his niece his father left the family. apprentice outside on most days because. it doesn't strike me that much as when i'm going to sing inside the house because you have a baby and then she'll be playing and sometimes you have relatives then i want to practice. the orchestra itself is based 300 kilometers away and blew from tape at
the music on school. pier the next generation of students all from disadvantaged communities are learning the basics that. c they may need some more practice before they're ready to go on tour. that. in germany the touring group is heading to a venue when they break out into song. whether it's african music or european their passion is always palpable. so much so that they can get even the most sudeten even says in on the fun.
my colleague david leavitt's has more on this wonderful group of young musicians welcome david and the books have been a string orchestra is really much more than just a musical group it's actually something that is changing people's lives tell us a little bit more in detail you know with the orchestra itself of course is touring europe and playing all kinds of public events in south africa but they're really just the public face of a much broader program string program which is taught hundreds of kids from poor areas how to play the violin viola bass and cello and they do that at their school in bloemfontein they actually bus kids in from the townships around they actually go to these kids pick them up from home because otherwise many of them wouldn't make it into practice and then teachers from the program also go to schools as far as 300 kilometers away and now the families of these kids do have to pay tuition fees about $60.00 euros a year which is a lot of money for some of them and there's also
a lot of money that comes from donations from here in europe now the concert that we saw in the report was dedicated to nelson mandela who of course led south africa out of apartheid back in 1904 with this program or a program like this have been possible without him well the sort of answer is probably not apartheid regime really did the bare minimum to provide education for black students certainly they didn't have programs teaching people to played cello . of course the kids in this program that we're seeing were born after apartheid ended in 1904 they're part of the so-called born free generation and the south africa they're coming and unfortunately is not the rainbow nation that nelson mandela spoke of it's still very unequal a lot of racial segregation the economic elites the people whose kids are the majority of those learning to play these instruments are still white so there's a lot of work to be done programs like this are part of the solution but there are unfortunately still a rarity over certainly very glad to learn more about them and i guess i'm viewers

everything if something doesn't work i go over and say with details need to be changed i'm never stressed on big projects because i trust my team i'm on the keep . today is the big day for natalia. in just a few hours flower time will begin at brussels city hall the exhibition will see the gothic building transformed into a floral paradise the juxtaposition of contemporary design in these grand historic rooms creates a unique work of art around 70 florists and volunteers from more than 13 countries are here this year to offer their own regional spin. like this japanese pull sled. and these woven palm leaves from indonesia. jewelry and clothing can also be seen among the unusual creations. and this room traditionally used for weddings is decorated with thousands of roses and kids in classic white.
the day before the event there's still not much to receive an italian and her team stand. my buildings are supposed to stop and. pick up on me so she's originally from better reduce but head inspiration comes from her new home in brussels which is reflected in her choice of flowers. resort he did for me our kids mean luxury over yours the glory also is a tropical flower and camilla's is a simple crop of plants. so usually i'd never make a bouquet with these flowers and the reason i've chosen them for this exhibition is because i think brussels represents diversity so it's in comics that. the grand unveiling is about to commence the exhibition will run for 5 days and is expected to attract more than $15000.00 for sitters.
it's amazing pretty amazing it's so big says those dollars the studio is i didn't know that things exist like. the tension has given way to tears of joy. all the hard work has paid off. now tell us the color over and his team can now sit back enjoy the show and smell the roses. i will finish with the cinematic gem that's opening in theaters this week and next blinded by the light is a coming of age story that mixes the doldrums of factor right in the end with the music of new jersey's greatest songwriter bruce springsteen of course the undisputed poet laureate of working class america a daring cross of cultures you might think but it works. a show that plays only
bruce springsteen nothing does for you state that's your idea nothing but springsteen blinded by the light is an exuberant story about a 1st generation british pakistani teen hope in the american icon. directed grin to chatter see similarities between the way she deals with characters in her films and springsteen's music is about people who are generally on the margins of society people who you would see of the edges of frames or know in the frame and then i take them and put them in the center of the frame and say let's see the well from this perspective and the same is true of blinded by the light and i think bruce is mission. the film is set in 1997 in luton england times of
financially and politically tough in the middle of all this is job at a teenager who dreams of being a writer despite his conservative worth of says monica. i'm stating. this is a unique way that go in there is telling the story using music in itself i'm not saying that it's a musical but it's not just a drama either. blinded by the light is not just a joyful film about the escape route music can provide one that deals with the problems of racism and division. proved yet again over the universal power of music and i want to put on your movie to do list well that is all for this time so until we meet again all the best from us here in berlin take it easy and.
a 1st visit to the continent of the music they study i love the way. european people just. heard from. various they're very serious about the music and the beauty of music african music is. played its. rhythm with classical music is like you have to be in control of the piece the experience presses your motions even more when you're playing and when you're playing a slow piece. you said for no reason or whatever. and then you play this little piece and slopes. so that it really brings out that frustration. for me. before the concert it's rehearsals. the group also plays and sings south african pieces. concert is dedicated to their
country's triumph over apartheid. so. on a visit to south africa the oldest could go on a book alani takes us to his home at the edge of the town of freedom for. he started playing his instrument just 4 years ago thanks to teachers from the group's outreach program who regularly visit his community. now the 16 year old practices his instrument 4 hours a day. he lives here with his mother and sisters and his niece his father left the family. am. a prejudice outside most days because of the local us the
orchestra itself is based 300 kilometers away in bloom from today at the music on school. here the next generation of students all from disadvantaged communities are learning the basics that. ok. they may need some more practice before they're ready to go on tour. back in germany of the touring group is heading to a venue when they break out into song. whether it's african music or european their passion is always palpable. so much so that they can get even the most sedating audiences in on the fun.
my colleague david leavitt's has more on this wonderful group of young musicians welcome david and the book string orchestra is really much more than just a musical group it's actually something that is changing people's lives tell us a little bit more in detail you know with the orchestra itself of course is touring europe and playing all kinds of public events in south africa but they're really just the public face of a much broader program string program which is taught hundreds of kids from poor areas how to play the violin viola bass and cello and they do that at their school in bloemfontein they actually bus kids in from the townships around they actually go to these kids pick them up from home because otherwise many of them wouldn't make it into practice and then teachers from the program also go to schools as far as 300 kilometers away and now the families of these kids do have to pay tuition
fees about $60.00 euros a year which is a lot of money for some of them and there's also a lot of money that comes from donations from here in europe now the concert that we saw in the report was dedicated to nelson mandela who of course led south africa out of apartheid back in 1994 with this program or a program like this have been possible without him well the sort of answer is probably not the apartheid regime really did the bare minimum to provide education for black students certainly they didn't have programs teaching people to played cello of course the kids in this program that we're seeing were born after apartheid ended in 1904 they're part of the so-called born free generation and the south africa they're coming and syria unfortunately is not the rainbow nation that nelson mandela spoke of it's still very unequal a lot of racial segregation the economic elites the people whose kids are the majority of those learning to play these instruments are still white so there's a lot. of work to be done programs like this are part of the solution but they're
unfortunately still a rarity over certainly very glad to have learned more about them and i guess our viewers can catch the full report on the watch for bella orchestra on our upcoming show arts 21 this week and coming weekend thank you very much for bringing us that those details david leavitt's. all to the belgian capital now for what's being described as a world of floral emotions brussels famous city hall is a unesco world heritage site and every 2 years in summer it gets an extravagant floral make over and this year more than 30 international floral artists have joined forces to decorate its historic rooms each setting their own accents from floor to ceiling. deep in concentration the tiniest account of a is making a few final tweaks she and her team have arranged thousands of flowers with a big opening just around the corner she wants everything to be perfect but she knows how important it is to stay calm. to not assume the gap i run around and

nhs strike in scotland, and we have some of the best performing nhs levels in scotland. since you are studying medicine, it is important to remind everyone in this audience the difference between the snp and other parties. in scotland, you wouldn't pay a single penny in tuition fees for your education. what a difference that would make to your education and your future. you do acce -t your education and your future. you do accept that _ your education and your future. you do accept that you have record waiting times for treatment at the moment, and that there are very high numbers of people waiting 211 months or waiting as long as 211 hours in a —— in or waiting as long as 211 hours in a -- in a&e or waiting as long as 211 hours in a —— in a&e sometimes. ida or waiting as long as 24 hours in a -- in a&e sometimes.— or waiting as long as 24 hours in a -- in a&e sometimes. no one would den the -- in a&e sometimes. no one would deny the crisis _ -- in a&e sometimes. no one would deny the crisis in _ -- in a&e sometimes. no one would deny the crisis in the _ -- in a&e sometimes. no one would deny the crisis in the nhs _ -- in a&e sometimes. no one would deny the crisis in the nhs across - deny the crisis in the nhs across these aisles, driven by two measures, one thing that, and the other the austerity agenda from the conservatives over the past 111 years. there are £18 billion of cuts
overtaxed, interesting to hear penny mordaunt repeat the £2000 burger that we spent a lot of time dissecting the credibility of —— 2000 figure. interesting to see penny mordaunt went there again. secondly, an interesting angry exchange between penny mordaunt and angela rayner on defence. i thought that was telling, penny mordaunt keen to talk about the nuclear deterrence. another thing which stood out is stephen flynn, the snp leader, the applause he got, the first to get rounds of applause. an interesting topic that got applause from the audience. specially selected to represent different voters, a carefully made of audience there. interestingly on brexit, he talked about the damage the economy, talked about the damage the economy, talked about the damage the economy, talked about an end to the demonisation of migration, which got around of applause and free tuition fees in scotland. i think the
the financial fiscal position that the financial fiscal position that the country will find itself in, whoever is in number ten injuly. you said you will not raise taxes but tax cuts are not on their way under a labour government, because there are a lot to pay for are not a lot of money right now. find there are a lot to pay for are not a lot of money right now. and some difficult decisions _ lot of money right now. and some difficult decisions have _ lot of money right now. and some difficult decisions have had - lot of money right now. and some difficult decisions have had to - lot of money right now. and some difficult decisions have had to be i difficult decisions have had to be made. for example, people talk to me about child benefit for a third child, ortuition about child benefit for a third child, or tuition fees, we have had to make our decisions. it is an uncomfortable position to be in, but i tell you this. the choices we make are completely consistent with our labour values, which is that we want to increase the number of appointments that you can have the national health service. we have set where the money is coming for from that. we are going to increase the number of teachers, we have said where the money is coming from. we are helping to ensure there is more support for the many children with mental health problems. each thing, we say this is where we are going to

India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) projects a positive outlook for the education sector in the financial year 2024-25, citing factors such as increasing enrolments and rising tuition fees per student. The agency anticipates that the growing middle-class income and demand for quality education will drive higher spending on infrastructure and facilities. Digitalization, distance learning, and e-learning content are expected to play a significant role in the sector's growth.
