Ok please stand by for you because i want to show our viewers the trade off the film hotel rwanda now resists up what you mean is there real life inspiration for the 2004 film the film is about how he helped shelves of more than 1000 people at a hotel where he worked as assistant manager. My name is Paul Rusesabagina. Empty house manager of the most Luxurious Hotel in the capital of one. Of the police that my family and i happily called our home until the day everything changed. To.

Portrayed as a kind hero man who saved more than 1000 people who took refuge during 1994 genocide against tutsis rusesabagina rose to fame thanks to this film but as he became famous abroad by corman randa some genocide survivors and the random government officials disputed hes not on t. V. Some saying that he asked money to those who came to his water running from the militias but there is also another sock of people who said that to say somebody now is receiving this bad crash because his tour where the prayer is that could have gone to the current president president bush who is also quite often credited for stopping the genocide but that is not the reason hes been arrested or been accused at this time london authorities accuse him many are for heading a group of opposition parties some armed groups and have attacked rwanda killing people who says i want to know has been in the media himself the british in war against president paul kagame it ok that state obvious fred more fully on that story for us thank you fred thank you christina. It is to sudan next we have the end is in sight for one of africas longest conflicts the government and one of the countrys main rebel alliances have agreed on a peace deal thats being hailed as a significant step towards peace for the country the signing took place in chu about thats the capital of neighboring south sudan where talks have been held since late last year the south sudanese president salva kiir mediated based those talks. So well the steel hold will be talking about that after this report on the darfur region with the conflict played out. Sudans darfur region is relatively calm today but its been the scene of one of africas deadliest and longest running wars in recent history the conflict has had many drivers including ethnic tension and competition for resources in 2003 rebel groups in the region took up arms against the government who unleashed its forces and a dreaded allied militia known as the jan jaweed the fighting killed some 300000 people and displaced more than 2000000 not only in darfur but also in the Southern States of South Kordofan and blue nile. For his alleged role in the conflict the International Criminal court indicted the former president Omar Al Bashir for crimes against humanity bashir maintains his innocence his ouster last year led to a cease fire agreement between the Transitional Government and the rebels and now to a broader peace deal. And. Joins me now for more on the story good to see a. S. L. The significance of this development cant be overstated. Indeed christine this is a big day for sudan a country that is full of conflict and has many many challenges but the cop. In darfur. Is probably the one the country is most known for almost 300000 people have been killed in this conflict and 2500000 people displaced since 2003 and this is really a big step to words resolving some of the issues that were left behind by. The long rule of dictator Omar Al Bashir so its definitely a big day for the country and its been a Long Time Coming as well yeah a Long Time Coming but this was also a very difficult deal to put together what concessions did it take to reach agreement. Well the things that the rebel groups have been given and this is a group of 5 groups including 4 from their 4 and one from the southern regions are things that the rebel groups have been asking for the people of darfur have been asking for especially since the the conflict 1st broke out they were suffering from things like marginalization you know being that region being populated by african tribes that feel that they were being marginalized antagonized by the arab ruling elite in the tomb and so the deal offers rebels political representations decentralization from. You know the politics in her too but also integration in things like Security Forces in the economy and also land rights and this deal something really important that it paves the way for is the return of some of the people or you know and as much as possible of the populations that have been displaced because of this conflict these are big concessions these are concessions that probably would have been unimaginable under former president ousted president bashir as he had a key role to play in the conflict but its also really important to think that to remember that this is all happening within the bigger context of sudans democratic transition i mean in april of last year the dictator was removed and a transitional civilian government took over and you know finding peace and signing the peace in the peace deal with the rebel groups has been is one of its name mandates and its one of the most important tasks that it has set for itself so on the one hand there concessions but also basic demands that the revolution happened for right and speaking about that revolution we know that and it the the alliance of these rebel groups that have now come to the party to to sign this agreement they. They played a role in the ouster of former president Omar Al Bashir could one almost think that the former president omar bashir was the one standing in the way of such a deal bringing this part of the country back into the fold so to say theyre accurate accusations of genocide there so would have been extremely difficult to imagine how this how this deal could have happened under former president bashir but you know this what were seeing now has been one of the hallmarks of the uprising the revolution in sudan the took place last year i was there covering it for d. W. I. And it was when you would go to the protest camps you would see this kind of unprecedented inclusion of all faction groups of sudan including people that had come all the way from more and the Southern States led the blue nile in Southern Kordofan precisely for that moment and so they are really they see themselves as partners for this and this is just about getting what they deserve. Will they still hold i mean there are a number of things to consider here the 1st thing is that you know the current government has signed this transitional deal its that has signed this deal part is a Transitional Government and its posed to pave the way for a democratic election right after it transitional period of 39 months so i mean we cant really tell what kind of government is going to come afterwards and whether or not be will actually honor this deal one would hope so ok certainly but we dont know that all right thats even him thank you. Thats a phone ill be sure to check out i have a story is on al website and Facebook Page today will leave you with pictures from the long trial that. People off of the signing of the deal at may have the big hopes of protecting her. And on demand. Language courses. Video and audio. Where. Theyve been robbed of their soul thats what are people experiences when their heritage is taken from them. Countless cultural artifacts were stolen from africa by colonialists and carted off to europe. Left here to feel much should be done with the stone north from africa. Stolen soul starts september 7th on d. W. O. Welcome to news from the world of culture heres whats coming up in the next quarter of a. Artist nora dream who uses modern technology in a thought provoking way to deal with germanys colonial past. And despite the corona pandemic those swinging here in berlin are determined to keep music. But we begin with the latest show Marina Abramovich one of the leading conceptual artists. A woman who has devoted her life to sometimes taking her own body to extreme physical limits to achieve her autistic goals right now shes in munich premarin latest and very and state opera is all about another diva of the stage the graces of all offer a diva as maria callas. Its been a Long Time Coming to say the death of maria callas is the culmination of Performance Artist Marina Abramovic shes a lifelong obsession with the opera star of. The came the voice of the radio and it was called a source but at that time i didnt know who was the person singing i only know that this stop absolutely what i was doing i just freeze in the space and i had the goose pimples everywhere and that remember that moment and then i want to know everything who shes was you know and start researching but the 1st time he had collison was supporting. The world runs a type of medley of kind of his greatest hits it combines video food together with hollywood actor william def and Performance Art and music by the composer marco nicole de addiction. 2 there. In downtown. Sees the show as more than just a coming together of 2 great artists. What is the citys despond i think the most exciting thing about the piece is that its not just a combination of different musical worlds but also about 2 personalities who have a lot in common but you also have a law that sets them apart its the contrast of musical worlds that we know and they need musical. That we hear through mark only called the year itch that shames us yet another perspective right. The 7 deaths of maria callas will be streamed free of charge by the very in states operate on september the 5th. 2 with the author of the Melissa Holroyd mention is going to be live streamed on september 5th but what about in the opera house is that going to be in or do you say there is now the bavarian state opera has now been allowed to admit 500. 00 Ticket Holders to the World Premiere of the show maria brown of it is all over this she directs that she designed the set shes also going to perform she appears in the 2nd half of the show so. Shes famous if i may say for suffering for those it is really necessary i mean sometimes i think she goes a bit too far or i think she probably suffers more than anyone else can suffer in a way many many of her feats have really been almost superhuman once she lay in a wooden pentagram that was set on fire and she passed out because of a lack of oxygen shes taken psychoactive drugs to make a statement about Mental Health she did another performance where she laid out various objects and the audience members could take whatever objects they wanted and do whatever they wanted with her body and they did they did by the end of the performance by the end of the ordeal she was covered in blood and she almost you almost got shot her performance often involves a type of catharsis for not just herself but for those watching everyones bottoms and pushed. Well if we take for instance when the when she laid out the different instruments and people could do whatever they want to that shows something very frightening about. Veneer of civilization and what people will do if they give him permission to do that i mean that just happened in the exhibition hall. Now shes over 70. How long well i mean in this particular thing it doesnt seem shes really dangerous if such there are snakes but how long can she keep doing this i mean shes always pressing the boundaries isnt it pushing the button yeah i mean i think shes she strikes me as very very disciplined person and i think shes got a long long way to go and of course her work has evolved a lot over time with the 7 deaths of Maria Callas Abramovich says sage she wants to deconstruct opera this work features a lot of symbols that weve seen in her other work we see knobs we see snakes we see fire wont be hearing any of callous calluses actual voice shes not singing the arias that will be sung and performed by 7 different singers and Maria Abramovich comes out at the end and performs intriguing stuff as always with marina Melissa Holroyd tights very butch. This week featuring. Deal with germanys colonial past in the uk nor drink has an intriguing way of doing this many. Museums were taken from countries around the globe in colonial times and theres a constant debate about ownership well with the help of multan technology has been indulging in what i call a little off to stick hack so that everyone has access to such. Can Digital Technology liberate colonial art collections. Is also seat the prices of the transmission of the museum has. Is everywhere this is not beautiful but the digital its also everywhere but it is not by the color. Artist nora badri is talking about berlins noise museum where the ancient egyptian bust of now for t. V. Draws hundreds of thousands of visitors each year egyptians have been calling for her return for almost a century. In 2015 al badri and fellow artist Young Nikolai nellis took the debate to a different dimension they published a 3 d. Scam online without permission a challenge to the Museums Authority as long as you control not just the physical artifact but also the digital one you kind of control the narrative around it because then you can decide which research gave it to. Their publication of the datasets means the museum is no longer enough for t. V. s digital gate keeper now anyone with a 3 d. Printer can have their own efforts to bust the artists took one back to egypt where they buried her in the sand a kind of symbolic restitution. Also uses Artificial Intelligence to. Create new objects she calls techno heritage like these fictitious mesopotamian artifacts to create them she needed pictures of 10000 real objects but european museums werent ready to give her the data. I dont want to change. The system so i found another way. That other way was through back doors into museums digital databases although she wont say which museums the High Technology she says covers her tracks none of the major museums can ever proof that i actually use their images. As long as those kind on economists in kind of just consider themselves i think they are not relevant and meaningful than our world and they dont connect to whats going on today whereas i think the objects do and their stories through totally. These images are personal for al badri to reimagine the Cultural Heritage of her fathers family in iraq creating new objects in contrast to present destruction. And the future she hopes to work in her own neighborhood for limbs gurlitz a park notorious for drugs. Always a high culture actually obvious just the culture that gets high most of the drug dealers here are african migrants without work permits or other opportunities badri calls it colonialism in real time for idea is to have the men arent instead to start new conversations. I have the feeling also as a neighbor that even the most left they both here they struggle to see them as a person and i dont understand that and i really want to try to change that. Badri knows its an idea not everyone will understand or welcome but as with the digital now for t. V. She believes art has the power to shake up structures of colonialism. And inequality. Musicians who are living almost exclusively from my performances having a tough time right now by the nature they are created for many undaunted by the Current Crisis also.
