Last 10 years. Plus well take you to the arena, of course, in lagos, the local government wants to populated the poor blokes in a bid to divert traffic from the citys pond just of roads. Hello, im christine wonder. Its good to have you company. If you o. P. s Prime Minister, has said Government Troops ought about to launch a final offensive into cry, it comes off the t. P. N. , their forces in the role, then reach and missed a 3 day deadline to surrender on his facebook page, the roche following the exploration off the state line, the final critical actual Law Enforcement will be done in the coming days. Now deb, you spoke earlier to ethiopias defense minister can and your data. We asked him why ethiopia was rejecting Mediation Office and not allowing journalists or humanitarian aid into to cry. This is an issue related to the salinity or internal affairs. So. d and also if he doesnt that many, many times it is really be going to be completed within a week. Therefore, we dont consider that it is a big, its something internet, mup we fire the press the minister and asked how long this socalled final operation against the to cry. And was to go on day sure, start under. And they should just to give the hunch to the problem. So if they are willing to surrender, the operation will be completed. Ethiopias defense minister there. Now the latest report by the moat, Abraham Foundation on african governance shows a decline for the 1st time in a decade. This has been driven by worsening security and the rule of law, only one country, and that is ethiopia, has made progress across all areas as measured over a decade. But the continents 2nd most populous country isnt broiled in amidship. Conflicts that many fear could reverse the gains. Its named over the last decade. If you had this issue of social cohesion, you have some laws may go to pieces. Its different if the group had something you know, different from the people who read it that you know, if thats not a day ago about yes, its fine to for you to do it. But if you are this, if this, if you, but also to the passivity through citizenship and theres no contradiction between full mall on governance in africa. Following the status report, i am joined by dr. Dean of portables. Shes a senior lecturer in International Relations at middlesex university. In richest, she also specializes in governance. Welcome to news africa, dr. Quotable, save me stop with this situation in ethiopia. As weve been hearing many people comment on this, what do you make of Prime Minister . Abby estimates leadership at this time. And perhaps what do you think needs to happen in ethiopia . So Prime Minister as the ethiopian Prime Minister has leadership of them on it is a hot topic of discussion. And its related to governance not to is. And he is in the peace prize winner as well, and that hes being scrutinized in relation to how hes handling the conflict in the country. So moving forward, the focus should be on negotiation and you know, peaceful to looks that should be the way forward. And that will help us as well. Good show leadership of if you can Prime Minister coming back the latest report. Now, it is saying that overall progress on governance has swelled. And that for the 1st time, the scores have actually gone down. And what are these indicators surveyed about the state of governance in africa . In the report over the last 5 years, they have noted that overall the violence has been on the decline. It has been rabbit has slowed down and in 2019 for the 1st time it has declined. So its, its very alarming because its pointing out to indicate a is where areas of improvement really are needed. The only in security right in this sector because, you know, almost just coming to the question i was going to ask you next in terms of what are the main or major problem areas you were just getting into . I think it mentioned security 1st. Yes. 2 indicators. Where we see an increasingly increasingly deterioration, which is in the red zone at the moment, is the part situation rights and inclusion indicator. And then the one which is slowly deteriorating as well is the security and role of floor. These 2 indicators. Now they are deteriorating and the others are slightly improving. But why security . Who last fall and bought supervision, inclusion and rights are important. Its because even these rights and these indicators, they are not improving. They are going to affect the of their own Human Development and equal economic fortune. It is somewhat is why dont you write one more for you before we go . I do have a few more seconds left with you and i wanted. And if you could tell us about what is a good example in africa that, that perhaps the others should look for to follow a good example to follow. There is say shows of the moment those chad and well each whose names are on the rise. And they are improving in different indicator is. So its good to look at such countries where, yes, there are deterioration. But there are areas for improvement. That is why its good to scrutinize all the data presented in the latest report by index does a portable see are part of the brain foundations now generation network. This is 237 Young African citizens from 43 countries working to know what would be your personal vision for the future, african governments. So from the engine post 50 years and not generation that worked best 50 years. Our vision for future governance is one where actually the youth, our ideas and voices are heard. And thats where we are identifying good practices of governance. We are going to say out loud, and i suppose where areas are needing improvement and scenes are declining or there are abuses of power. These things need to be highlighted invoiced out. So the future of governance basically is the one that is county of all that is there are leaders, i think, to show transparency, accountability, and they are hearing the voices of africas citizens. Thats how governance should look like in the future. All right, that starts in a court of books. Thank you so much. Lagos in nigeria faces massive transportation challenges, africas most populous city. It relies on roads for most of its transport, but was always are a viable alternative, especially as the 3rd main bridge connecting the mainland with the economics of lagos island remains under construction. Now the city spirals of several islands, all connected by a wash of ways which could be used much more. But the number of residents who commute is way below capacity beating device is probably the hardest thing to do in their groups. An estimated 6000000 people commute every day that creates extreme congestion on out she was used to transport is one of the few who do prefer the waterways. She travels by board and for private troops. I prefer that what she wrote transports because 1st its really fast. So were going somewhere thats supposed to take 30 minutes at max and use him to both. Im very certain were going to get there. I doubt sign. But he, by where to go by road. It would take me 3 to 4, ours to get to descend destination more than 10 fold, and people use this port of their goes every day. But this is a tiny fraction compared to the biggest on a very close to 2000000 or so the majority still use the road transport, which they said that if its overcrowded and its in secure, more than half and they go state is covered by water. On the covers 35 percent of nigerias most populous state, official figures showed that more than 100 people moved today goes every day. Investments in the transport sector have not kept up. Engineer bill has been working got their money now for 25 years. He says significantly more people are switching from road transportation, but he wants the government to do more to help cope with the rising number of passengers. The defense argument is more bored is when i didnt only versions. The government says it is already working hard to ease the transport headache. But there on this bridge that connects to parts of legos is under construction. This means the government has had to divert commuters off the road. They go, state has called on private investors. The Authorities Say the process is going well. And by next year there will be enough boats for passengers who are currently refining the license. So we have enough operators to cover all of the locations of the demand evolves. Want to make sure we have the supply. So coralie, do right now is also invites in bids for private operators who can bring a bigger boat. But there is another program, passenger safety. This will drive our struggles to start the engine. Though he is confident that his Machine Works well. And actually there is no passenger yet on his boat engines quite often die in the middle of the water pausing and then just across india as lives right then, which is moving the bodies that we are all over would you travel with us in the us . So not does not like it shows people have died in the water recently. Now the government has offices in all ports to make sure all passengers and both drivers have life jackets. With the monday, are you most likely because in the case of any emergency, the live jacket will keep you secure the ports, its time for and how friends to take off to cross to the other side. And thats if, when ill be sure to check out all of the story of africa, were also on facebook and visit today. Well leave you with images of people in nigeria, at least in niger and wash away next time.

Rival, marketing numbers on those here by intuition, hate crimes by us and on you tube. Joining us with news that arrests of being made a year off of the daring raid of priceless treasures from dresden screen vault will be asking if germanys museums secure. Also coming up today, famous celebrity photographer rankin has changed tack with his latest project surrounding the kurdish iranian now, living in berlin told stories about what it feels like to come welcome to our culture. Germany is a treasure trove of cultural delights with over 6200 museums. But with a number of infamous robberies in recent years, what is security like in these museums . This question comes after the news of finally being arrested one year on from the daring raid on one of europes greatest treasure troves the green vaults museum drive. A Massive Police deployment in the district of noise in the south of berlin. Hundreds of police raided homes, cars and garages on the lookout for evidence of involvement in what has been described as the biggest heist in modern history. Last years green vault robbery. And incidentally, we have arrested 3 persons of german nationality. They belong to the socalled clan mill. You know, theyre also on the lookout for the stolen artifacts themselves. Among them 3 sets of 18th century jewelry from the collection of saxon ruler, the strong valued it up to a 1000000000 euro. Dresden greenfeld house is one of the largest treasure collections in europe. The security here it was said to be state of the art that is until november, the 25th, 29, taking in the early hours of the morning, a small fire was started allowing the museum salaam system to malfunction. The thieves then got in through a bad window and used an axe to smash display cases. Officers were on the scene 5 minutes after the alarm sounded. But the thieves skate. Its the, the thieves may have had help from inside the museum. The treasures of the green vault survived allied bombing raids in world war 2, only to be counted off as war by the soviet union in their return to dresden. In 1958, though its thought unlikely all the chills will be brought back intact. This time, our colleague is with me now looking at those pictures, mazing pictures of the green vault. You can put a price on what was started. No, i mean theres been a financial evaluation of the, of the, of the stolen jewels. Some people for the value up to a 1000000000 euros, but really know their prices. I mean these, this collection is from the strong leader of the 18th century. And if you want to compare, i mean the collection itself, its value prop, its cultural value, as well as the parable of the crown jewels in britain. And this is exactly what the saxon cultural minister said, right after the robbery said this is, these are priceless pieces. They can, they can never be replaced. Weve got arrests, but so far the jury hasnt been found. And what do you think of the chance of getting parts of it back . I mean, this is also last year after the robbery, various art experts said, these pieces are so well known to be impossible to sell them on the market. Im a black market. And so most of assume that they have been broken down stripped for their, for the jewels. And the Precious Metals there is perhaps a mall chance that some of the jewels could be recovered. But not if theyve been, if theyve been cut up or been the moss forever. As i mentioned earlier, this isnt the 1st such heist weve seen in germany in recent times. Have actually been quite a few are museum. See soft targets are these criminals . They seem to be, i mean, one of the people arrested in this current raid for the green volt, a robbery had actually been arrested, convicted, but had not yet been imprisoned for another Museum Robbery a couple of years ago, where a member of maybe the Building Museum a huge gold coin that was stolen from the boat museum in another dramatic sort of smash and grab operation where you are in a wheelbarrow exactly a lateral we are a barrel. And the thing to look at these, these are not sophisticated oceans 11 style heist c. A. These are very simple smash and grab jobs by these criminal gangs. Obviously they see german museums as, as easy targets as low hanging fruit that they can easily break into and, and seals incredibly valuable pieces of art. Now has this robbery, another has indeed had any impact on Museum Security across the country. Well, i mean, what comedians do its a big question because weve seen, i mean, even with just recently the condition where a vandal smeared oil on in the program on museum. And im paintings in the national gallery. How easy it is for people just to get access to these very valuable pieces of art and to damage to them or even steal them. In some cases, i dont really know what museums can do because museums are public spaces. They need people, the whole point of them is the people have access to this, these works of art and we dont want them shuttle shut away as if theyre in bank vaults. These pieces are shot away as if theyre back also. Im not sure what museums can do. They have to do more obviously to secure these pieces. But im not sure what they can do because we dont want to see them lock them. Pieces or deed weve done that. Thank you very much. Rankin, the british photographer, best known for his shots of celebrities and super models, has turned his lens to the subject of death in an online exhibition. Thats just, ironically, its been sponsored by britains largest mutual life and pensions company, royal london, of coal steff is a very relevant subject at the moment as we are all being confronted by our very existence jew to the corona pandemic. Lost for words, giving voice to the last taboo. You want that one or 2 things are out and so everybody is you bought, youre born and you die. We all talk about birth like its going out for none of us talk, but thats for the exhibition ranken took portraits of people with images of their deceased loved ones projected onto them, including the mother and brother of stephen lawrence, the black london, teenager who was murdered in 1993, in a racist attack, alongside the photographs, interviews about death and dying ranken subjects share their experiences and what they have learned from losing a loved one. Through talking about death, the exhibition restores grief and sorrow to its rightful purpose in our lives. As part of the healing process and part of life itself, some of the subjects of celebrities, others with chosen for their stories like london mother of 4, we joked with gramma there who lost her 17 year old disabled son daniel to covert 19 in april. Talking about death and grief is very important. I was looking at my sons picture today and that picture was taken in spain on holiday last year, and he was in the sea and he loved it. He absolutely loved it. He was vocalizing very loud and lots of happy sounds and we were all in the sea with him. So talking about grief, evoked those lovely memories. And then i looked at him and i felt proud of him, and i could celebrate it. With his exhibition ranken wants to open up the conversation about death, so we can be better prepared for it. What would be brilliant is if people can stop talking about death, which what we talk about the conversation we talk about it is everyones business to talk about death and have a conversation about it with and also just for me personally, i didnt have those good bye conversations with my parents, they need to have lost for words in our series on acts of assets. Now, living in germany today, the kurdish iranian poet and writer, shahabuddin shakey, was jailed in the notorious evin prison in tehran for his views, but managed to make a daring escape 1st in iraq. And then on here to germany. Being in exile from your own country must be emotionally and psychologically very difficult. As you explain to us, when we met up with him, you shall have a didnt shake. He came to germany 10 years ago, leaving everything behind. He had been established writer in iran, a leading intellectual who took active part in social debate. He lost an important part of his identity when he fled the 1st instance. If i had everything that people desire, i had achieved a high status. As a journalist, i worked with the best newspapers and gave lectures at top universities. But then i came to germany and i am like a child who is deaf and dumb and half blind, or has occurred shakey belongs to a minority in iran. His father taught him his mother tongue. Kurdish became the language of his soul. Is in a most being shot. Have a gun. Shaky writes, poetry, simple and true to life. In iran, he became known as a modern poet and a critical voice. He fought for equal rights and for human rights. He became a very vocal activist in 2009 when irans youth revolted against the regime shaky, became part of the green revolution and put his own life in danger. If youre arrested, theres no guarantee that youll get out after 2 or 3 hours, or after 3 days, or after 7 days, or after 7 months or up to 7 years. Or at some point at the death penalty. Who knows . He was arrested but managed to escape from prison and initially to get to iraq. Then, with the help of journalists, he received an invitation from the German Government and left iraq. A stroke of good fortune. Never the less he feels uprooted. It took a long time for shaky to find his feet is made of radical break, trying to build a new life to find a new identity and new words. His most important tool. He wants to communicate that in which language and now 70 percent of the people around me are germans, or people who speak german in the streets of my streets. These walls are my walls. This cafe is my cafe. You are my journalist, the people around me and my neighbors. They are german, all speak german, that makes it exciting, but also difficult to write about it. But for the time being, its also about finding peace, finding a secure job, and obtaining a residence permit. Shakey has found employment as a social worker in a shelter for refugees in berlin. His new home, he feels an affinity to the city. They start their manners in the berlin is the city of my soul. And berlin has a soul, something very crazy, wounded and brought only berlin works for me because it has such a similar soul to mine. At least thats how i feel. 1000000 is a city that is stateless, stateless like shaky. When he returned to a brand one day, he doesnt know, he prefers to look at the step ahead and wants to write his next book in germany. Incidentally, more from shalhoub, again, shaky and other exiled, a special edition of australia on program this weekend. But thats all for this edition of arts and culture. Thanks for watching.

This is from Prime Minister, threatens a fine old military offensive problem, and this is the way hes warning of a full scale. Humanitarian crisis speaks to the old song on the program. Massive police right next to the suspect green of the precious gems. Im phil gail. Welcome to the program. If your peers Prime Minister abby are mad has announced what he says would be a final military operation against a t dr province after local leaders ignored his surrender ultimatum. The federal government carried out what it called surgical airstrikes on t gries, a regional capital. The government to so far resisted International Pressure for mediation in this conflict. But fallout from 2 weeks of fighting has the potential to stabilize the entire region and has already started. What the u. N. Says is a full scale humanitarian crisis. Ethiopian air force fighter jets on a mission in the skies above t gree. Captured by a d. W. Journalist on the ground. The local t. V. Later showed what appear to be buildings damaged by the iraq fence of the escalating violence has sent in spelling out beyond ethiopias borders aid groups say 25000 people have no fled to sudan since fighting broke out. Half of them are children. Some may not see their fathers or husbands again. Well, i dont think get out of here. We came with the clothes on our back. I dont know where my husband is. Ive been looking for him for 5 days. I dont know where he is. I had to have ethiopias government says its fighting with rebel groups in the rebellious region. Least a t. V. Pictures claim to show its forces liberating towns, but hundreds are reported to have been killed. Officials in the capital have resisted calls for external mediation, or we dont need any mediation until we bring in leaders to court, because any mediation would incentivize impunity and readiness to great t. V. Appear to show captured eritrean. Troops with whom rebel forces have also been fighting. Ethiopia says some of its soldiers have also been taken prisoner cut our soldiers, our commanders generals. We dont know where they are speaking, we dont. Our commanders in jail, we dont know all newbies that what theyre like. Ethiopias Prime Minister has promised a final military operation in the coming days and said hes ready to reintegrate the swelling numbers of refugees. Now trying to survive on the banks of the river in sudan, kenya, you had better is ethiopias defense minister. He joins us from this ababa and welcome to d. W. Or this abbey ahmed mean by a final military operation. Well, thank you paul. It might be the final military operation, fresh to enforcing the rule of law in across the nation particle. Not in the kind of getting on the cheap, when ted little has been violating privacy and if your kid groups, therefore, the operation is going on and is going to be completed politely within a week 7 days. Why is Ethiopian Government unwilling to accept external mediation . Well, do you see that in the darfur and if it doesnt need institutions, war nations are to intervene in egypt and so the need because that is isnt my carriage of internet. Ok. So ethiopia will not accept external mediation and will also not allow aid agencies into the country or journalists into the country. Same question. Why . Well, just do that. This is an issue related to the, so the, or internal affairs. So, and also it doesnt take many, many times, it is really be going to be completed within a week. Therefore, we dont consider it. It is a big, its something internet. So he, the United Nations begs to differ with you. The United Nations thinks this is a big that the United Nations has described this as being on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe. Well, practically, this is not, this is until its your p. R. The military forces are proficient. Get on the, on the groups, the group, not the civilians who are from other social infrastructure that the focus is on. That that may be the theory. It may be that that is what you wish to happen, that these are focused attacks, but that the United Nations says, and this is on the verge of being a full scale humanitarian crisis. Do you not recognize that the carnage that is going on on the ground . No, i dont think. d really, we are just so much picker for such issues and i dont feel that that comes up and because this bet in a very short time, french all the operation and i said, we dont have such as china. And what will victory look like in this conflict . It is not the model quickly, but some are cut off. It should include the rule of law. d and upbringing, because this little bit was a court of law. Its not the kind of pick that it is about ensuring the rule of law. So again, when will it finished and will it finish when you arrest people when, when, when they surrender, when everyone is dead, when will it finish . Dish or saddened and they should just give the hunch, turns out. So if they are willing to surrender, their operational will be completed. Thank you for joining us. Death or defense minister. If you dont give out much. Now take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. Policing great, suffused it was a cannon and tear gas to disperse hundreds of protestors.

The Danish Government has declared make reading illegal until 2022 decrees part of an ongoing struggle to contain. Mutations of the corona virus found him in conservative country majority of danish lawmakers also voted in support of legislation allowing the killing of some 17000000 farm. Think that was one of the biggest jewel heist in germany. The green vald break in a year ago. Now it looks as though theres been a breakthrough in the case. The police have arrested 3 suspects in a massive operation here in the german capital. But they say they havent found any trace of the estimated 1000000000 euros worth of precious gems that were stolen from the museum in dresden. It was the pride of dressed in green vault, 18th century jury of immeasurable worth. Items that once were worn by german kings and queens us but since the smash and grab burglary a year ago, there has been no trace of them. But there could be of the thieves in berlin, more than 1600. 00 officers from around the country, raided several apartments, taking laptops, potential evidence, and arresting 3 suspects of the of im talking about so much as for 2 of the arrested suspects, the judge in charge has issued an arrest warrant to please the 3rd suspect who will still be brought before the judge. The Prosecutors Office in reston expects an arrest warrant there, as well, so much of a plea and up of the stuff to feed him, push to get that. The police have also launched an International Search for 2 additional suspects. All of them have been identified as german citizens who belong to the socalled criminal clan, seen organized Crime Networks whose members are mainly of middle eastern origin. Germanys capital berlin has become a stronghold for them in recent years. And the challenge for police and prosecutors. The jury highest is the 2nd high profile robbery in germany. In 2017, a 100 kilogram gold coin was stolen from a berlin museum. The theft was linked to the same criminal clan that is now in the focus of investigations around dressed and green vault, or they dont need a hostler is in justin said he said to welcome a bit of what we learned about the suspects. Public prosecution here, interest in said all of the 5 suspects. So the 3 people that were detained this morning in berlin, and the 2 people who are still on the run belong to the remo family, which is that notorious land thats dominated by lynns underground wells for 30 odd years. And so the 3 of them have now their arrest warrants have now been enforced, and the 2 people who are on the run are 2 male twins aged just 211 of them is believed to have fled in a gray reynold car. And the police have issued a number plate and theyre calling on the public to help find that person. Theres an International Search warrant under way. And this is not the 1st time. Those names have been brought up in connection with jewelry heist. Thats correct. This family is also in connection with the 2017 Border Museum heist and 2 members of that family were actually convicted earlier this year. It for grand theft in that case because of course amongst the pieces that was stolen was a big gold coin. And so it is a big question why . One of the people who was detained in berlin, kern district this morning, was the same person who was convicted earlier this year. And the Public Prosecution here in britain said that was for the authorities in berlin to answer that is not their job. But having said that, the authorities here in britain are very proud of their success so far. And they say that they had a massive raid with some 1600 people, some special units from all over the country. And they searched 18 objects, most of them flat in berlins like, own district that belonged to the remo family. But also cars and carriage is and theyve confiscated laptops, and so theyre hoping to find even more clues hope of ever recovering the jewels. Very brief answer, very slim chance, but also what the Public Prosecutor said. But he said that of course, theyre looking into those objects and maybe theyll find right near the dress and thank you very quickly.

Europes economy is entered tighter lockdowns as german businesses brace for, likely more coronavirus restrictions, sweden and austria introduce yet stricture measures to try to get their case numbers back down.

M. , he will meet the kenyan researches using the latest technology to produce protective equipment for the fight against corona bombs. This is the doing business time, rob, what symbol n. Welcome to the program for europe, its looking like a particularly bleak winter. As many countries struggle to get a 2nd wave of the coronavirus pandemic under control, the coming weeks are likely to see the further tightening of restrictions on lives and economies. Sweden has just for the 1st time banned public gatherings of more than 8 people. Meanwhile, a new lockdown has kicked in austria. Here in germany, chancellor merkel is pushing to tighten the existing mashes. The doors are closed, the curtain has dropped on operas and plays even cinemas have shut down. Restaurants are limited to offering takeout orders. Its all part of the lockdown that began the 1st week of this month. German chancellor Angela Merkel is considering even tighter restrictions starting next week, but many are against the complete shutdown that would include schools and daycare centers. There could be a new wave of job cuts despite the current lockdown. America is optimistic about a rebound next year. And were expecting strong growth in 2021. If we can keep the pandemic in check, if its likely well also have a vaccine by then ice fades. Much depends on that vaccine, biotech, and pfizer where the 1st one out successful trials soon followed by u. S. Biotech for madonna. But none of the vaccines have been approved yet. And thats exactly whats needed. The economy can only reboot once vaccines are readily available or economists are expressing some doubts. Everything is based really on this. They see it on this big scene being rolled out in the course of the 1st half of next year. If this doesnt happen, then were in a completely different way, then we would not talk about a recovery of 2021, but really a long lasting now germans are hoping the 2nd wave of the pandemic can be quickly contained and a vaccine is approved. So the economy can pick up again. Well, the good news is we do seem to be making progress towards having that 1st coronavirus vaccine. Pfizer has launched a pilot Delivery Program for the candidate. Its developed the japanese by own tech. Meanwhile, other Vaccine Distribution plans are also taking shape as we prepare for a logistics challenge like never before.
