Im christine one, but its good to have your company. Fighting has erupted between moral clothes on me and the polish sario front along a buffer zone, patrolled by the united nations. And this brings an end to a cease fire that was nearly 3 decades old in the disputed territory. Ownership off, west and sorry, but the palace already a front is demanding independence. Tensions have simmered, forgive is and on the whole fairing up the newest flashpoint in an old conflict. The algo get out crossing a border point in the south of western sahara. It controls a highway that runs all the way from morocco to mauritania, a vital route to the rest of africa. In recent weeks, theres been reports that protesting separatists blocked off the road. Last week, the Moroccan Army posted these images to its facebook page. It says they show burning tents belonging to the police, sorry, of front police arias says those targeted were not fighters, but civilian protesters. Now that conflict seems to be spreading along the buffer zone between the 2 sides. Morrocco next to the former spanish colony in 1975. But the Indigenous Police are a front began an armed resistance for independence. The war raged on until 1991, when both sides signed a ceasefire, they now split control of the territory. Theyre kept apart by a fortified fence built by morocco and extended since the early 1980 s. Its believed to be the longest strip of land mines in the world, velo in the renewed hostilities. The moral qualms have scenes mobilized their forces, and the policy is also rallying its fighters and calling for volunteers. And im now joined by jose, and tanya was a, is a journalist who does have a day at the region extensively and visited the policy area controlled areas. , welcome to day w. News africa jose. So there are reports that both sides have begun a Mass Mobilization and that the fighting is going to change. What are you hearing from, from your sources on the ground . Well, as you know, in any conflict, we had a lot of program that bad would the american people, he said, your sources say the same weight is they who are these back. Even if hes the supposedly didnt want to reach these point. There are some fires now between both armies, even if they are not very big this moment in both also seems that once the u. N. Mission in this region or, you know, russia lease the place, de conflict, well reach a higher level in it. And jose also just does this explain that data because one of my questions he was late of the about that u. N. Mission. And youre now implying that that u. N. Mission could be just explain that for us. Yes. As you know there since 1991 and the u. N. Mission universal has been there in their place in both today with their 2nd under control of miracle in also the sahara. We played the place under control of police earlier in the mission is to keep peace and to organize referendum following the un resolutions. But as the police are you of felt that maracle have broken the Peace Agreement . And as they were back again, the police said he says, came to the u. N. To leave the place in morocco is trying to keep the u. N. People on the field. But if there were heaps in the time and it, it seems, its what its going to least for a long time. The u. N. People, we have to leave the place both in their place when trouble under control of miracle and also under control of police. Are you in both forces from both sides, agree that the conflict will go higher and higher and higher. Once the u. N. People that you mentioned, you know, still leave the house. A cease fire has been in place now for 25 years. Why has it now seemingly collapsed . Well, there around 2 weeks ago, a group of syrians, sahar, we civilians went to the south of mr. Sattar, in the border between mary cheney and mr. Sattar. In the luck route. An important route in terms of trade, connecting westerners sat under control of miracle in mauritania. These group of syrians was fired from this place because the morricone government sent the army to a place an we, so there are some images. So in that, the American Army opened fire, not against people, but there was a fire, there was fire that was with their weapons. And the police are you in their place or you will be responsible. And this student, these movement have broken the Peace Agreement, reached in 1991 and they declare it broke and they say that there is a remain. The smoker is broken so they were, hes back again since then we see the friday Small Movement in, in fire. You didnt notice, we have a family of seconds, they have to add jose. And jim, what is there a sense that this could be solved diplomatically . Somehow you were talking about the fact that it could escalate, especially if the u. N. Mission, whats it be . Recreate it. Well, we dont know, it depends on the u. N. It also depends on spain and mostly on the members of the Security Council and mostly france, which is a main ally of miracle in the un in the Security Council. But its Important Role to that since the beginning of 2001000 the last year there is no, we dont have any special envoy from the u. N. The meters are still there, but there is no one interrogation of the mission. So these are the magic waiting in to reply and quite finished. Ok, thats jose antonio about his death. Thank you for your insights. Thank you. I wanted story is in rwanda, where if honest can no longer rely on grain to grow their crops, increasing changes in rain passes have forced most farmers to use fill pumps to irrigate their farms. Now that of course causes cobban emissions. A group of young london scientists said to take advantage is, have devised a solar powered Irrigation Technology to replace the field based irrigation pumps. We, that corn husks arent uncommon in ground are these days. The current drought has lasted months and they increasingly extreme weather threatens their livelihoods, of local farmers, especially those in the eastern part of the country who are not call him to capitulate it. Its apparent that Climate Change is real and increasingly dangerous. The farming seasons that people are used to are not longer predictable. At times it trains will one expected drought route instead of rain on. So its confusing. You can just farm and have hope over having harvest and what it will bring issues. And when you arent a couple you eat is one family who has been fortunate during these hard times have filled our knee a roof. So shes been able to pump sufficient water to her crops. But they do so you need it to par. Their palms is expensive and the exhaust that is a need to the sounds out contributes to a greenhouse effect. No rhonda is increasing its reliance on solar power over the researchers and Technology Experts from a random start up developed a solar powered irrigation system that has a high tech project, was financed by a us Aid Organisation and they run the government so they knew irrigation plants came at just the right time for 40 families from a pirate in the district that god made agricultural, more difficulty. And the cost of renting the diesel pumps nearly consumed the on my thirtys reason was that todays science and we ended up spending much of what awnings on buying. Still, while using the fuel pump into narrators ira with 2 of the, those little left for our livelihood. Now, we have gotten great of all those expenses. We only need to replace someone to water the plants, british of the kurdish, just due to the more affordable litigation promise cannot attend a larger areas of land and keep farming they yield a much higher as a result of what i did call a hole. I was only have a sitting 50 kilograms of beans in 2 bags of saddam in season. Now, with solar irrigation, the yield volume has multiplied by 3 when i am considering expanding my farming even more now. And i mean, if a town that solar powered irrigation system should be out in drowning in all of the Party Districts in the country by the end over 20000. 00 to me, an official from the Agriculture Ministry sees that rhonda hopes to have a climate neutral economy by 2050 and his role for the country as i booked it, does solar system. They get through this solar system because off for cheaper in terms of for energy cost option. And secondly, it, yeah, they claim it to smart Climate Smart also means a more plentiful way of one aging water. One of the arts most valuable resources, the startup that builds the solar irrigation system, has also developed a system to measure the temperature and moisture of the site. Sensors calculate the exact amount of water needed by the plants. Farmers, ive been notified by and up about when and how much they should water, their crops, their plants need to get the optimal of what they knew. Thats what we believe when they use this technology to improve their production. And it does been tested to be a success in the play. Which fears robin doing these pilot system is powered by solar energy, a swell. Now the farm is not exactly which plants need water and how much of for the time being, they improvising with plastic bottles, which will soon be replaced by what a horses local solutions will challenge as i love to see it.

But this is again, weve got a taste of it, of small acts, the new 5 part series of films from oscar winning director Steve Mcqueen coming out this week more in a minute. Also today in our series on exiles living here in berlin, we meet the belorussian theater directors meets a Charter School supporting the current protests in better rows from afar and dancing with a difference, a rather unique french dance troupe called geometry. Vavi are gone viral on social media. British british director Steve Mcqueen has already secured his place in movie history, in the 1st black director to win a best picture, oscar for 12 years, a slave. That film was set in 19th century america. Now hes turned his attention closer to home, small acts as a series of 5 films about the history. Indeed, the struggle of black people in britain between the 1960 s. And 1980 s. Steve mcqueen returned to the sounds and sense of his london childhood for his 5 film anthology, small acts true stories of resistance, protest and celebration from the black caribbean experience of the 1960 s. Seventys and eightys for the oscar winner mcqueen. This is his 1st british production and his most personal for the series produced by the b. B. C. And amazon mcqueen cast, some of britains biggest stars to teeter right, famous from black panther place one of the mangroves 9 black activists put on trial in 1970 for daring to speak out against systemic racism, plays against the police there and maybe so that they have been the victim of injustice. There are others who like parasites, feed on these beliefs, and seek to turn them to their own event, deliberately create and by these defendants are all guilty of the serious criminal offense. Acted john, boy, you get plays libral, you know, can of real life Police Officer who trying to change and crisis system from within small acts tells the cotton stories of britains black history in order to eliminate the injustices of today. And joining me is of course g, w, film, expert scotch rocks, 1st of all the title, small acts. What does that mean . Yet we heard a little bit of the music at the very end, which, which is from the bob marley song, and the bob marley. Song, quotes, old jamaican proverb which goes along the lines of. If you are the big tree, we are the small acts that will cut you down. So its about, its a metaphor for a collective struggle, which is basically what this whole series of films is about, which is really taken from real life stories about being black in britain between the sixtys and eightys. And its all about resistance, really resistance to racism, institutional racism in britain and very personal for mcqueen because this is the community he grew up in. Is that . Yeah, it is. I mean this is probably his most i think is most autobiographical and personal work. I mean, you mentioned some of his, somebody whos work. I mean all his other work is actually a long way from home. I mean, his very 1st film was hunger, which is about the ira hunger strikes, starring Michael Michael fassbender. And then his, the other film that won an oscar for, of course, 12 years, a slave. As you said, 1900 centuries, america, slavery in 1000 century america. Even his very last film called widows was a heist movie, an all female heist movie. But it was set in chicago is also a long way from home. This film of the series of films small acts the 1st time that Steve Mcqueen has looked at his, his own neighborhood, really the, the sort of west Indian Community that he grew up in, in london. And its a very ambitious series of films and 5 full length movies, but he really knocks it out the park. And i think what he does with this, if its not too much to say it, i think he puts black britons and their history back into the film history of this country. I mean, watching these films you realize how rare it is to see, see these stories on screen and even to see these faces. These kinds of faces on screen i think was incredible. And small x. Is actually going to be on the b. B. C. In the u. K. And coming out on amazon and the rest, well, just this week, just like now while youre here, i want to ask you about a young actress whos making huge waves in germany. Not really known yet, but shes about to sort of come to hollywood, isnt she . It looks like it looks like, you know, youre talking about how a single a, who a german fans will know from her film system crash, which came out last year. And sort of blew everyone away. She played a character, they are sort of a young girl with a anger management issues. She won the german film award for that performance and shes 12 years old. Youngest person ever to win that shes now shes just been named the star a star to watch by the hollywood magazine variety. Shes in the next film with tom hanks, which is a western and the film is called news of the world. And in that she plays a young girl whos kidnapped by natives and then is the found by tom hanks character. Just speak any english, which is like, its useful if youre a young german actress who isnt that great in english. But it looks like an incredible performance for her, and it could be the case that she is right now, going to become a huge global star before her 13th birthday to watch scott rocks as always, a mine of information about the movies. Thank you very much. There being mass protests in every week since the elections there back in august, many people believing they were rigged in favor of the current incumbent. Alexander lukashenko, the better russian theater director meets the chart. Kerry has been closely following events there from berlin, his place of exile for the last 10 years. And hes been helping organize demonstrations here to show support for his fellow comes from a demonstration for a free bellerose. But this one is in berlin. Movie theater director, sneezer charge, who is one of the organizers hes happy to be able to express his opinion freely in germany and to send a signal to those back on we are showing that we are not indifferent to what is happening in bella. Ruth right now, even in berlin, we see the situation in our homeland and what the citizens of bella rusa doing. We are simply saying we are with you and we will help you are. We support you. Hold on massive protests in belarus, have continued for months. Security forces have used brutal force against demonstrators demanding an end to the authoritarian regime in the country. Chantecler left his country more than 10 years ago. He had been an active critic of the regime co organizing protests and hunger strikes and distributing leaflets. The state reacted with harassment often imprisoning him for days without giving graysons you have to agree with, but if i had stayed, i would probably have ended up as a professional revolutionary. I was not allowed to study and without an education, i would not have got a good job. Most likely i would have ended up in jail at some point, due to participation in protests or my views. So i had to make a decision and leave because i wanted to pursue what i enjoy most adult who is currently working with colleagues on an exhibition about Civil Society in bel arose when he left his homeland. He 1st lived in poland, but later moved to go allin where he says, the spirit of freedom is alive. You can think and act freely a world very different from the one in bella ruse. The good thought there was a kind of break on the development of society. If you were constantly being told what to do and why, and that you have to follow the ideology imposed by the state and the whole look at schenker power apparatus. The relationship between the states in the individual is a recurring theme in charge to theater work. Paranoia pig contents text from r i f terrorist reka, mind off and asks how far political resistance can go to performances are in berlin, but he hopes the message is back home was music to be remembered. I see myself as a bridge between berlin and minsk in case something happens as a bridge between berlin and bella roots for a while. But in general, i will probably continue to plow the nashville tween the state media to and the underground. I want to stay in
