Hello im told me a lot of boy its good to have you with us nigeria has abolished the special anti robbery squad or saw as a police unit that as its name suggests was established to fight Violent Crime this follows days of protest spot by a video shared on social media of sars officers filmed in the alleged killing of a civilian demonstrators say that the band of the police unit doesnt go far enough they are promising to keep campaigning for saas officers to be brought before the courts for their crimes nigerians accuse agents from the police unit of routinely carrying out unlawful arrests torture and even murder. His bruises are still fresh after a violent attack a few weeks ago. A taxi driver says he was almost killed when passengers assaulted him he sought help from the police unit but he says that resulted in the officers trying to make money off this case and has then said to me was that i was going to pay for investigation that i cannot afford it and. That i have to give him some money wasnt supposed to give you dying i mean i should i should be encouraged for committing a life. Form one is more like a mini more. Protesters say its common for source to extort money the police unit has even been accused of torture and killings for the past few days protesters have been out on the streets demanding an end to the. Young people of nigeria saying that enough is enough we could get in the press and brutalized and thats a nice change in and lovely does it in the chorus possibility. Its a particular when we going to matter the time at nigeria as most populated city lagos protests usually last only a few days people here cant afford to jeopardize losing their jobs but this time the protests have not stopped not even after sundays announcement that the special police units will be dissolved a campaign that started online is still very much active both on the streets and on social media with people now demanding the release of r us the protesters and justice for deceased victims. But kingsley a mashie doesnt believe that dissolving sarce will End Police Brutality in the country when you put or rather a good one just give it a little time the good ones are not going to make the bad wrong good rather bad one is going to make the good ones bad for those. Who want to hear him wolf you that he feels the pain will go through even if your life just says something to us the founder of the movement hash tag and sars who started the 1st Online Campaign in 2016 is encouraging people on twitter to keep on demonstrating he doesnt want the protests to fizzle out this time without real reform. And spoke to our signer whos mentioned that hes from the end saws Online Campaign has been pushing to have nigerias special anti robbery squad disbanded for years i asked him why demonstrators are staying on the streets to protest even after the government announced that saz would be dissolved. Own district because they felt that its just another political or not and i do want to be certain we need assurances that get but this time around that theyre going to actually get what youre asking for for many years from 2015 well be hearing about these by late of the illusion of several things and it does look like there are lights on though so you start out they want to be sure that its the way for you thats why i be miley for a president ial order in that we got so despite the announcement thats a clearly a lack of trust in the police and government. In the trust in the police have been weighed over the its because of violation of human rights and also because of many things that us being promised was there like it ok so if these protests are going on as they want would be the measure of progress in these reforms that would get people satisfied. The reforms are not to be felt not in the media its not so much later what silly people. They need to see that Police Actually respect respect and human rights on the streets and to see that the abuse hes actually been at beat it but when will he say that the other is by the sides and out walking on reform and you want us to believe i want people to go back home the same Police Officers who are trying to. Calm the protests i should say that people are killing innocents is that so when people see this its coarseness them to lose trust in one of the problems is that we lose i make it so that one of the reasons why its been doubt it but to reform itself its not that speech because way getting cultural how to not to change what we have to be you know we need to walk up to it and if you take it why do what but what we dont want right now nor how you feel its the things i do that kind of actually say that you know what they want to be going to stop what im going to begin to look at it would cost and that be that were talking about is Police Impunity the absolute value to human rights its a good issue youre all beings and the rest of it so thats what people want to be assured of but i think ill go back to their normal lives knowing fully well that when they see what use of says it off to fear for their lives then my turn police dont really have a good reputation so what is it a boss saas itself that has prompted this outrage. Over many years now sighs of the unknown to the to kill us lord of the police is like this so yes were going to police it so i need to live on it was it 28 years old i dont program and ive been called a culture of impunity for quite a while due to the institutional neglect on dereliction but over the years people have been keeping quiet about the abuses and all until it became get back on a cultural and now tell you to your face that im going to kill you im not the only how can i be acting keep your promises to people now off ive been to off social media before and ill get him to reports these claims and to sell it and thats where people as citizens i dont see what im going to dish out of sight at a gate and suddenly they whistle and its. That was. The end saws campaign talking to me from. Lets take a look now at some other stories making news across the continent.

Should governments put a stop to sexism in advertising law makers some places in europe are listening as women and girls speak out that story coming up and. Then. And then breathe out through a trumpet. Very in brass band switches to yoga music to relieve some pandemic and serious stress. Welcome to arts and culture well have those stories in a moment but 1st it was a big premiere at moscows State Theatre of nations this weekend a 3 hour play about the soviet unions last leader Mikhail Gorbachev while russias current president Vladimir Putin fights to keep his sphere of influence the play gorbachev portrays a very different leader the man who. Gave up power and let the soviet union dissolved and it was at the dress rehearsal in person. Would be great if i remember everything. Memories of the life of one of historys greats michaud gorbachev from a balcony seat the 89 year old watched his own life play out on stage at the moscow theater of nations the play that was supposed to be a love story between michel you gorbachev and his wife raisa became much more its the story of an entire country and the era during which gorbachev was in charge. Of what he to push hes a visionary politicians none of us can come close to that one day his name will be written in gold lettering. 2 actors hugh wigs and dozens of anecdotes from an eventful life together if getting near enough in church on comma tova play a couple who from early on dream of a better for your future everything seems to go according to plan the young Party Official hopeful from the countryside is given a post in moscow he rises through the ranks to become head of the communist party and then president of the soviet union. He dares to do what no one has done before reform the soviet union. In 1906 cover chuff began his restructuring his perestroika risking what Many Russians still cant forgive him for today the collapse of the soviet union acclaimed in the west gorbachev remains a polarizing figure in his own country. So it was as a politician he did a lot of bad things for russia still in the service but im not saying its not good if a country isnt moving ahead or something if it were our country the soviet union was stagnant. The old times were not good. For us. Thanks to him we were able to free ourselves from the big press. And that we were all in back then i hope russia will one day become a garbage shop was striving for the mukhtar most of us ago but you are still. In the play about the statesman who brought freedom to his people there is no reference to todays russia no reference to the terrible disappointment that has still not been forgotten almost 30 years after gorbachevs resignation. I was a young woman when perestroika came and back then i was promised a whole new world a world with a functioning freedom of the press freedom of assembly and rights to sexual and gender selfdetermination the world that was promised to me then has nothing to do with the world today with 3 years of research us. The comex of the play is the death of Michelle Garber chops wife from cancer and the turning point of his career the last chapter is called gorbachev and solitude the theater may be filled with enthusiastic applause but in real life things quickly became quite lonely around michelle you cover chaff and his dream of a better freer russia to. Here in europe sexism and advertisement isnt just a social issue its also political last year the u. K. Banned ads featuring any gender stereotypes the city of paris has its own laws against sexes out several german cities are behind the changes here in germany is the protest organization pink stinks. Do we really still have to talk about this sexism in advertising about the fact that women are objectified to sell everything from pizza to beer to cars to whatever one person who is battling the way women are represented in the advertising is gender researcher dr steve. How does i ask myself how its possible that were allowed to have the advertising that so backwards in terms of gender while the state of spending money to bridge the wage gap between men and women whos responsible for that and it annoyed me so much that i thought we have to have a public debate about it. So she took action and organized the 1st world wide demonstration against sex isnt an advertising she gave up her University Career in founded the German Branch of the organization pink stinks. Because i kind of. Think its a great color of course and often little boys like it but theyre quickly told that pink is not for them and theres a lot of sexism in that and then we have the problem that women dont stand up for themselves because theyre not allowed to be aggressive. Fluffy sweet was that theyre not raised to have tough jobs in business and they take up a job theyd like or otherwise assert themselves. Youve got to have. Pink stinks is pushing for a change in consciousness not just among the media and advertising agencies but also within the German Government is about completely approached the Advertising Council quite aggressively. With petitions and campaigns we were also very vocal in the press and this is how we got the attention of the federal government theyve supported us for years with the study as well as monitoring advertising do you and i money tooling success to show battle companies are gradually realizing theyre taking a stand against sexism is Good Business seen here in an ad for a german hardware store. So for more on this ive got my colleague Melissa Holroyd here melissa that organization pink stinks also does research on sexism and advertisement what are they finding one of their findings is that there is a city country divide that while many Large Companies do tow the line a lot of small country cut companies particularly in the countryside dont heres some examples of what Smaller Companies across germany have come up with to sell their wares this is cool here. Yet this of course is not exclusive picture and many this is what a scottish businessman selling glass among other things came up with there were complaints about his as some people said that they looked like they were from the seventys he didnt back down he doubled down and he made ads that really did look like they were from this era he said rising like you would need in your kitchen for your wife oh my goodness yes so i mean he could get in trouble as you said new rules have been introduced across britain banning the stereotyping of gender is ok we always hear this cliche sex sells is a time to bury that is that over now i mean as long as we remember something right as long as the group that youre a fan that isnt the same group thats playing 6 certainly appeals to our lizard brain as does violence and were often being sold things of course that we dont actually need so they do need to appeal to Something Else they need to appeal to a deep and needs the needs the need for sex the need for affection of course said. Sells has been around for a very long time here we have a pic of one of the 1st post is that uses a bit of 6 enos to sell something this is from 871 i think have a guess what it is selling tires what is he selling ive no idea tobacco i dont see any tobacco in there not that thats not what its about. These are pretty harmless examples and the people of pink stinks they are they draw a distinction between a sexism aquos and 6 enos they also offer an app so you can read just ads that you think might be sexist and they have something positive they are or they have a prize every year hold the pink poodle the business is the companies voted progressive now were can you tell us about some ads that have caused controversy and in the well recently that was a red cross ad which was used to attract volunteers if we can have a look at. This young lady doesnt look like shes about to take it part in humanitarian mission anytime soon and this is also pretty are created a lot of controversy and we have a 3 year old leaning up against the grill of an audi 800. 00 a banana they got plenty of complaints for that audi tweet of the apology of course they said that they sincerely apologize for the insensitive image and ensure that it will not be used in future and it makes you wonder if maybe thats part of the campaign because that certainly gets attention to it when were not going to get that in a hurry so thanks so much for going on thank you well the coronavirus pandemic has put a stop to concert tours around the globe but a variant brass band with a cult following has been using their time off to change their tune so to speak theyre now making music for yoga brass band premiered their new symphony over the weekend. The misty autumn weather set a tranquil mood here in the southern german state of that area. Its the premier of yoga symphony number one. Its an idea from the group brass band. Normally theyd be touring around the world but the coronavirus pandemic has forced the band to be more flexible. At least coronavirus times are of course depressing for musicians were not allowed to do concerts which is what we love to do most being with people and having a good time ever in sweats and dances it doesnt feel like that now its. The brass band i used to big stage of. Their mix of traditional very and brass music funk and techno has brought them success on the international stage. But now theyre hitting a more relaxing. To see what the world is yoga thing when we play a concert for an hour and the people are dancing and sweating already then we usually do a short break for us musicians and also for the people where we play very quiet music and below us there are 10 or 20000 people doing the exercises. But this sold out show has only 150 people on mounts and socially distanced. You have never done yoga but i heard about this and was thrilled because during the pandemic you dont have to see any live music you had to get it to be guys on a very very excited because la presse band didnt only paint pictures with its music but landscapes and tough to get psyched in a time when most if a had so much energy and this time too even if it was in a different way but theyre doing it without the band hopes to repeat this experiment and look for relief from the stresses of the pandemic. 150. 00 people doing yoga together in the worse its almost like were back in 2019 almost anyway thats it for us if you want more culture news though weve got plenty of it for you at d w dot com slash culture see there.
