The broader justification is there to take the left has been destabilizing. It is only its latest breach of the Constitutional Order and it crossed so you can cross the red line.

They say that there is no indication that this version of the virus is more chance miscible or that it has a different clinical. Main sense here seems to be that it might impact men or a vaccine, but the research on this is still in very early stages. Denmarks government has been strongly criticized for its handling of the crisis. It ordered a nationwide maaco despite having no legal basis, rather than only killing animals in the areas where the virus had been detected. And rather than implementing measures early on, it stood by as the virus spread through, make stocks over months.

For more on the developments in ethiopia, im joined by samuel, get a chill. He is a journalist based in that have a so i disobey. Welcome to news africa, samuel, what is going on into griet the moment . Well, a little bit later on going. There are thousands of your grandsons are going to the Sudanese Border because the conflict is just moving forward. People, the United Nations is saying up to 200000 may be affected if the conflict goes forward. You may know there is an air strike up being all over. This is the impact will be huge. Something weve never seen in such a long time and a country that has known conflicts for a many, many generations. Ok, right. As you live right here with food into some of the people that are a fleeing dandified officials in sudan say that theyre not coping with the overwhelming numbers. There is also a big eritrean community. These are refugees who are in, i aint how they been if being a fake, said we all know exactly how they will be affected because you dont tell aids and so on. Conviction has been suspended, but we can guess there are. There will be us in a much worse case because there always been the need of a shelter. And unless there is a Movement Towards food in all kinds of aid coming back and forth, which has been again suspended, there will be the ones i will be the most invisible victims in this conflicts. Samuel, how could neighboring states in ethiopia be drawn into this conflict . Well, you know, thats, you know, ethiopia is a huge country. Its a country with a 1000000. People live in it. Its also the host of fijis from south sudan and sudan and somalia and so on. So that whatever happens in ethiopia, a country that is important to the region is most likely to our favorite neighborhood conference. And this conflict, if it moves forward, its likely a country which has been at war or the for a long time in conflicts or a newer, more peace kind of story. Before i became to borrow, this is likely to produce untold number of revicis. And abby achmet critic said that this was a pointless and avoidable civil war. And he said that that could lead to the disintegration of the ethiopian state. Is that a commonly held view depends if one is referring to the Prime Minister of one piece by piece is much higher and youre no longer leader leader much, much higher and your media will be so much peaceful with the Prime Minister trying to bring with leadership you are so obviously disappointed, which is a group that when it comes right, you know, you want to know. All right, thank you so much. That is some of the tragedy talking to us from that is of a thank you. Samuel Rights Groups have condemned the Police Crackdown on protesters in angola. Human rights watch called the Police Shooting at peaceful protests as outrageous as well as criminal. Heavily armed offices dispersed the antigovernment protests in the capital, leaving several people critically injured. They also detained demonstrators engine discovering the incident. Last month, dozens of people were arrested during a similar protest against the high cost of living or oil rich, and is africas 3rd largest economy. But oil prices have plummeted. Touring the cove in 1000. 00 pandemic adding to the nations economic woes and feeling peoples frustrations. Riot police in london, a crackdown on protesters. On wednesday, people gathered on the street in defiance of a protest ban ordered by the city of storage fees. The demonstrators say they are unhappy with the countrys massive unemployment and rising cost of living Security Forces hit back hard at the gatherings with mass arrests, tear gas, and beatings, making police brutality. One more grievance for the protesters, we are miserable, we are hungry. Just everything we lack Running Water light buses and today is another example of this. People are doing badly. Theyre complaining theyre the worst fevers. The angolan government are thieves and bandits. Everyone knows this. Even babies. When Joya Lawrenceville became president in 2017, angolans hoped it would mark a new era, lawrence or took over from shows eduardo dos santos, who had ruled for nearly 4 decades, creating one of africas most corrupt countries. Now many angolans feel let down by lauren. So protesters say hes failed to improve their lives now to kenya, which has lost nearly half of its forest since the 1960 s. This is devastating for the environment to wildlife and people are trying to reforest the land by growing trees and then digging holes and planting them is as you can imagine, labor intensive and expensive. So to help bring grow kenyas tree is a group has come up with a different idea. So in the landscape with tiny seed alls, the view over the hill stretches across the rift valley. This is teddy kenyon, joyce territory. There are very few trees here. The teddy is sowing black balls, which are actually seeds coated with charcoal dust. The aim is to grow new trees in an area which has been deforested by illegal logging. Intended to harvest timber, to create charcoal among other things. Teddy and his colleague elson carstone, have set up a company to produce the seed in their test area. And i wrote the suburb, they monitor the growth of the saplings to see which trees do best. Thats what for everything ive read about this is the other fever or so parts of every dollar store and its off. The child starts having goals and yes, this is the same, a sailor fever on the stuff and all over sadly for these are very, very produce very, very excellent quality charcoal. So lots of areas, these are the 1st ones to be removed because its such a good fire. This is how the experimental field used to look and how it looks today. The seeds come from Kenyas National forestry institute, which is in turn supplied by farmers. This brings income to the farmers while at the same time helping conserve the forests. When teddy and allison decide on a particular type of tree, the seeds are given a protective coating. Big thing that seed balls kangas. How do you stop those seeds being eaten prematurely by mice, by birds, by insides. Not really arkansas. I think id say is all you got the right type of seeds that are right. And dont have them being eaten by the things you know, and just how the seeds are put into the seed balls remains a trade secret. But there is no mystery about how they are so on. They can be buried in the soil, the usual way, or hold forth from a slingshot. And there is even on line planting. Thanks to see 2 games a start up. And i wrote the kenyan capital as one of africas technology and software hotspots. The continents 1st Video Conferencing platform was developed here founder jay shapiro says the games are extremely popular. For instance, all those that sort out and dont want in our own theory, didnt do the its a good thing. It was all new yorkers who were deceived, that this is how it works. Gamers fly virtually over an empty landscape. Distributing seed bowls points are awarded for each tree planted. And for every point a donation is made. The money then pays for actual seed box. Though this is gathered all conservation organizations of the also work the soup or or floor or whatever. Theres no real time thats trickled down to see its going to be distributed throughout an hour or 2, or just, its not yet clear how much will be raised in the digital flights. Have only been running for a few weeks to fairly, to calculate any proceeds. Some believe the future of africa is forests is at stake. 11000000 have been spread over the last 4 years, and everyone is hoping the program will flourish. In fact, 11000000 is just the start. Interesting stuff there. That is it for now. Be sure to check out our other stories on dot com forward slash africa. Were also on facebook and on twitter. Today we leave you with attributes of god.

Strong opinions, clear positions, international perspectives. The boss does not really settled on americas president ial election. One thing seems certain if and when joe biden enters the white house, hes going to adopt a very new and very different foreign policy. Final moments of the point short friday to the point of 360 minutes on d. W. In the height of Climate Change conference, most of whats in store for the months to come for the future of the c. W. Come for to make your series the multimedia insight into the 1st as china continues to face accusations of Human Rights Violations reports from shin jack western Companies Including folks foreign, are coming under pressure barrel for ration is in the region. Also coming up, germanys Constitutional Court rules against the governments Nuclear Phaseout Compensation Program saying it breaches the fundamental rights of companies. Im going to push us those Serve Society should not exist. Thats 5 year old outgoing siemens boss of joe kay said, tells us he has few regrets over his controversial 7 years of the how this is day to be a business. Im rob, whats in berlin . Welcome to the program. Now we begin with a report from one of the most secretive places on the planet. The Chinese Government continues to ignore criticism of the vast network of detention camps in the Northwestern Region of jang. More than a 1000000 people, mainly weaker muslims are thought to have been detained. There folks, fog is among the western companies being criticized by human Rights Groups for continuing to invest in the region where the german carmaker has defended its decision to remain in shin jang correspondent, matthew sperling. A reports were empty. The capital of chinas western sudan region to weakest and other minorities. This is one of the most heavily policed regions in the world. Chinas repressive policies against ethnic minorities have been called a genocide zone room. She is also home to german carmaker folks farms most controversial investment in w. Is the only international carmaker to have a plant in the region and shut off. We made the decision to build this factory more than 10 years ago. It was a decision made solely for economic reasons. There was no political motivation. The fact there is no in a politically and socially sense of them. Environment worries, as china has covered the region with a massive system of prisons, Internment Centers and reeducation camps. Australias asp institute has documented 380. 00 facilities across the region. Hundreds of thousands, possibly millions have disappeared in these facilities on a recent visit and constantly followed around and stopped from filming some of the facilities of official prisons, some are unmarked. And some cynically designated as bookish trainings. There are several levels of security from high Security Prisons to just fenced compound. Minimum. Kyra, some arcana, cars are born in china has spent several months in one of these socalled vocational schools in 2018. What they had to learn there had little to do with professional skills. He says, we make it the in this camp we had to sing the chinese anthem and other communist songs. They taught us that china was the strongest country in the world, and we had to Study Materials about the 19th communist party congress. As in the, what was china is portraying the mass detentions as a means to provide opportunities on the job market. But there is growing evidence of forced labor inside the camps or after release when former detainees have been forced to sign up with employment agencies. V. W. Says theres no indication of forced labor in its operations. It was shifting in, the law to direct c. , but we hire all our employees directly. They send their resume and we have a job interview. And then the hate charge department and the operating department make a decision based on the resume and the impression they gave. Why its happened to them before. Its something that is hard for us to new stuff for us yet. This is through an extreme shriya enough to footy chinese authorities are aware of the controversy my mind to stay in their car this time, but they call a factory. God good bro. Filming is not allowed here because they could, they just tell, you know, i saw you from my window coming out. What did they tell you . Were going to come over. They just supervise our work. The w says it will stick to its investment, but the controversy is likely to remain economic levy. W. s investment never paid off. It was planned to build 50000. 00 cars a year here. But its output is less than half that sticking with china and thursday was supposed to be the deadline for Chinese Tech Company bite stands, to sell its u. S. , its video sharing app, tick tock. So as that happen, lets cross to our financial correspondent and new york yen scott say, yangs. Whats the latest on this . Yeah, according to one news source, the tick talk is so wondering if the Us Administration has forgotten about to the band. Well, that would be understandable if it was this political situation that weve seen after the election to be on the safe side. Just to talk went in front of an Appeals Court to file for an extension 30 day. And they are also questioning the executive order of u. S. President to donald trump. I believe it was back in august. So yes, we still dont know whats going to happen with a tick tock. So far as the service is some continuing. And i have the impression ticktock will try to get some time and maybe make it to generally to ennius when probably a u. S. President to then joe biden will be sworn in. So all of that might be the tactic of a tick tock. But so far, no word from washington. Whats going to have been, was the service he ends of at the latest, u. S. Jobless think is on Employment Benefits down 48000 last week that said bigger drop than alison expected. So whats behind this improving picture . You know, well, i mean thats what weve seen for the past couple of weeks and months. The job market is improving step by step, but still we are ahead of the print of pandemic record that dated back to 982 when we had a little less than 700000 of those some applications. And thats where we are still standing. And overall we still have more than 20000000 americans who are receiving aid one way or the other. So the picture is getting a bit brighter, but well, it is still not great and to now was winter approaching. The big question is, if this situation in the u. S. Labor market actually might get a bit worse still, the good news is yes, the numbers came in better than expected, but the picture is definitely still not bright in new york, thanks for bringing us up to date a German Government Compensation Scheme for Energy Companies hit by the planned Nuclear Phase out will have to be completely reworked. Its after the Constitutional Court here found in favor of energy firm fattened fowl saying the scheme violated its fundamental rights. Germany began its phase out after the Fukushima Nuclear disaster in 2011. The Swedish Company can hope therell be more financial compensation on the way for decommissioning. Its Nuclear Power plant compensation for investments that became redundant. Soon after the reactor meltdown in fukushima in japan. The German Government in 2011 said it was reducing the certified life spans of the countrys 17 Nuclear Plants for safety reasons. That also had 2 plants in clement ponds, buttle in northern germany. At the moment, only 6 Nuclear Generators are active in germany. Theyre all slated for compulsory shutdown by 2022. Button for has not restricted its legal activities to germany. Its also taking its case to the International Center for settlement of investment disputes, but the world bank where its also demanding billions of euros compensation for the loss of its power stations. Staying in germany and industrial giant, siemens has posted billions of euros in profits for the last financial year. Despite the coronavirus pandemic battering parts of its business is bottom line showed. Net profits of 4200000000. 00 euros. Thats a quarter less than the previous year. Almost half the profits came from the recent spin off of siemens energy, the biggest cases final year in charge. Hes exiting siemens to be replaced by roland by the outgoing chief executive has been speaking today to be a business. We asked joe kayser how he sought to find a balance between satisfying shareholders and being a socially responsible company. But the, the old way of, of thinking, you know, the business of business is business. Meaning dont care about anybody. Its just about shareholder value. Thats outdated and it should have never been that way. A company which does not Serve Society should not exist. Thats my view. So we have to have a societal value. And if you look at the stakeholders, employees cost them and shareholders, the traditional ones. There is a new constituency, and thats the society. So they have to say they want to, you know, have companies, performances, they inability, they want the companies to be responsible. They do not Want Companies to just fire people because theres a pandemic issue, which is of often nature which can be, which can be defeated. Ok so that south korea has carried out successful tests of flying taxi jones in the capital seoul, the unmanned to see, to act craft flew for 7 minutes at an altitude of 50 meters. Once fully operational, the drones were cut 40 minutes off the journey time from the International Airport to the city. The demonstration is part of the countrys road map or perhaps much of the flight plan to commercial urban travel. By 2025, m. Plans for a new highway in kenyas capital have hit a snag all because of a century old fig tree. It was due to be routed to make way for a support pillar for the chinese funded roads. But a government spokesman announced that following an outcry, a president ial decree had been issued protecting the tree, which is the height of a 4 story building. Now the china road and Bridge Corporation and kenyas highways. The authority of agreed to rewrite the route the road around it. So we did that with the route. So for me, in the business team, thanks a lot for joining us. If hes quite as simple as it seems to understand the world better, we need to take a closer look at the experience knowledge tomorrow.
