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. Every journey begins with the 1st step and every language but the 1st word, published in the new coaches in germany to learn german. Why not learn with them simple online, on your mobile and free learning course. Nikos fake german made drama competition. 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.

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.
