Promote them to vote. What we want is for the elected president to help us get peace back. So we can go back home safely. Hello, im christie. Its good to have your company. The number off coronavirus cases in africa has surpassed 2000000. 00, including 48000. 00, deaths, africas infections and deaths make up less than 4 percent off the global total. But the World Health Organization has warned the continent is heading toward a 2nd wave of infections. Africa has not experienced covered 19 infections on the scale that experts had predicted. But the threat of a new wave has raised fears that the continent is not out of the woods. Yet. 20 countries have had coronavirus spikes in the past month. And thats for a range of reasons in most of the affected african countries, the rise in new cases is coming from workplaces and family gatherings. And of course, we know that there are several political elections coming up in a number of countries campaigns going on and gatherings as far as is concerned. And some existing challenges have mounted pregnant women in zimbabwe now have limited access to medical workers since many facilities are closed. Thats in a country with an already weak health care system. They used to be hospitals providing says areas sections for difficult, but we called it now while getting transport to get to the hospital was a problem. So what happened . Number of women was struggling to give back, and by the terror there, even hospitals, they actually afaik, they adapting to lock downs is not easy or affordable for many across africa. For example, not every student can do their Online Research from home. They were fired forms. So every day, i mean the morning to go through on their way fail, they said they wanted to get a class and they get access to a very have to to cover up what others have and news that a vaccine is near will be welcomed as much in africa as elsewhere, although there await logistical challenges relating to how it is rolled out. I am now joined by professor. Yeah. He is with epicenter africa. Thats the, research arm off doctors without borders. Hes a specialist in a p. T. , me on the cheek and Public Health. Welcome back to the, to the knees, africa professes. So, africa has now recorded 2000000 cases, but, but i want to point out that france and russia have just the same amount and these are individual countries. Their population size is respectively right, 150000000. In russia, as 67000000 in france, this dwarfs africas 1200000000. So what is your explanation for the reason the continent seems to be doing better than moats parts of the wilt . They think you find my community, and i think its important to remind ourselves what do we mean by beat, eat in terms of number of cheese. If you get into more number of death, so definitely do number of cases we need to do take more and more of our now population using the different distinct that we have bunch of number of kids. We have a different bill creation. Do we have been mentioning that along and on . You have a population where to me, how it is around 20 years or less. What we see in cameroon, in d. S. E. , in many countries, which is different from what you have seen, most of the work in europe or in china, it was around 60 of age. And we know what are the people who are the most recent of how the c. V. R. Condition or even i think more beauties, which is not fine as much in how british ok, thats is interesting. You point that out because for example, in europe and in north america be the 2nd wave has been deadly. What would be the dangers of a 2nd wave in africa then i think beyond we, in fact we also have to look at the economy. Because if we have an important 2nd, we are, youve seen putin, youre, for example, next more first wave had on his part and concretely have to go to long term. And we know what the impact this has been having relation of population instead of dying from there might be affected by lack of resources. And some of those people are in their condition where he cannot survive. Ok, professor face said there is, there is much excitement right now about the, the efficacy of these vaccines that are being developed. But tell us about the potential challenges that we might face in distributing and administering the vaccine in africa just when you experience would be a bolo, a vaccine, for example. You know, during the 1st time we were using, the one i felt like seemed to be used under my it was 80 degrees and then we were using to treat countries. And it was a very big challenge. Know how to root out these vaccines. All african countries be different, you need to choose, reach back, seem to be to our environment. So we talk about the challenge, the courtship. We were out of go for a vaccine that can be transported, i dont know my temperature, but also we lead to look at if you just do 90 percent of if you can see for a vaccine, for a disease that affects people like us. When we look at how our drug is like one or 2 percent, thats not, thats not a lot. Especially if we dont know this. So i think africa would be mall in truth indeed, vaccine should walk in should be using our population. Ok. Professor yeppoon, thank you for that insight. Looking if i so will vote in president ial and legislative elections on sunday. This is a myth, is collating extremist violence thats killed, more than 2000 people this year and displaced some 1000000 people from their homes, the incumbent rush job, or is seeking a 2nd term and is widely expected to win. Or is main challenges is if in doubt gray, who has held several ministerial posts and was the runner up in the 2015 elections and boyle, who has been endorsed by former long serving president blaise kampar. A convoy is seen as a porous main content, but the elections major timoci has already been questioned, as the violence has casual fly out large parts of the country. Even people unable to cost ballots another day. Another early start for bernadette trying to provide for 4 children means spending most of her time here, but theres not much to sell. The main fraiche stopped working so she can sell fish or rice. 8 that just doesnt work. There is no money in this country, and i cannot afford the repairs that either way, theres no guarantee shall have customers with an absolute militant attacks, people are keeping together what they half the jihad. This is the poverty. This must stop. I want to take care of my children, bernard, that is one of so many in the country, trying to survive with very little hundreds of thousands. Dont even have a home displaced in their own country. They are clustered on the outskirts of the city. More than 1000000, people have fled their homes this year, due to spiraling violence. Thats twice as many as it was at the start of 2020. And these people here have lived so or no chance of casting their votes in the upcoming elections, but at the same time, they are the ones who most wants to believe and peace in this country. The government of incumbent president couple e says that nearly half of the countrys 13 regions have little to no access to voting because its unsafe. Does not want to delay the elections. But how can the winner be a true reflection of the peoples choice when hundreds of thousands of potential voters do not have the chance to participate . She says, the election itself is legitimate. The question is whether the outcome will be election will take place on sunday, november 22nd. The crisis could start on november 23rd. So if there is voter fraud, if the results are not compliant with what the people put in the ballot box, it is we could have a crisis now. You dont need 2 or 4 months. All will depend on how the election will be carried out. You stop by the restaurant that was attacked by islamists in 2016, killing 30 people, both locals and foreigners. It serves as a daily reminder to everyone of the point. When brooke, enough, tipped into chaos, especially in the north, the Restaurant Owner decided to stay. He says so that the jihadists cannot win. He also decided to stop talking on camera too much to bear for his family since that fateful day. But back now that would not hesitate to leave. Shes already had to do that in the past 2016, she left without her family to neighboring to with everything. She did wrong, things were not working out here. So i thought i would go there and see. But after a month, it did not regard either. Well, i do all of this for my children, but her husband does not earn much either from his job as an assistant in a shop. Its tough to the whole. I adore my children. They are a gift of god, but im too young to handle children. I want to see them happy. This is haunt hard for better know that, like many others will try to leave. Again for a whole long this time its unclear what is certain. Hardly anyone here expects life to get better after the election. And that is it for now, be sure to check out the stories on forward slash africa. Also on facebook and on twitter today, well leave you with pictures off the campaign in a fossil tone. Next time its quite the sun. As it sinks into the world to take a closer to crime fighters are back for those most successful radio drama series continue. All of this odes are available online. Of course, you can share and discuss on w africas Facebook Page and other social media platforms. Crime fighters to me now. Hello, im welcome. Lot of significant anniversaries on this edition of ups and culture. November the 20th is world childrens day and this year is also the 100th anniversary of save the children international. Also coming up, this years booker prize is awarded to 1st time author douglas for his novel shuggie bank. And it is 75 years since the nuremberg trial starts with a look at the city day and whats happening to the building Still Standing that construct. d every year since 959. 00 event of the 20th has been world childrens day, it was created by the United Nations in conjunction with the declaration of childrens rights 1st, introduced all matt day in 159. The Global Charity save the children itself. Celebrating 100 years since it was founded, has published a book featuring stories of children who grew up in war zones and were helped by save the children. The book tells 11 stories of 11 children in conflict across the 100 years of say, the children labor for the projects im alive and i took photos of 11 people, put them all of whom were children in war is a free offense tells its own story. God, it doesnt matter if youre in germany or cambodia or one down or being a child in conflict, its always the same mystified as represent the key conflicts of the past century around the world. The project started with a mom and a Syrian Refugees living in lebanon on a model is somalia is very important for us because she was the 1st one we photographed of another place. It was exciting to see her transformation as me if she became more and more alive, the more photos i took of her bending. The mold to survive was a child of world war one partition. It was wonderful to work with heavy heart 106 year old ashton. He just stood there and hes changed looking like a young man. When you come on i was given d. N. A. Reality is everywhere, at some point has known war is from. I wanted to bring back that reality bring the book shows the scars left by wars a decades past. Issues, different cambodia story is often forgotten. I guess the vision to convince you to knows how to tell this story. The 53 year old escaped the cambodian genocide and is now a human rights lawyer reporting this. What links the protagonists is that they all had a connection to save the children. And so we can show the world the biggest story of war and children in whom it was interesting taking photos of the different generations. Not i need to tell their stories, but it also tells you who was there survived to believe in a few 100 years to 10 people plus a baby born this year out of one beijing, regina, a row change, a girl born in a refugee camp in bangladesh. Is the 11th child in the book and a symbol of hope for a future without children involved. And joining me is my colleague scott rock from scott, you actually had personal involvement in this book project . Yes, i was brought a much later at the very good end of it. I did some translation english translation of the book. And yesterday there was the book launch here in berlin. And i moderated sort of the press conference, which was quite amazing because we were able to have many of the survivors connected via soon from around the world. So jose from colombia was, was on the line. And also we saw on the piece of a tree, the levy from, from cambodia who survived the marriage and is now a human rights lawyer in cambodia was pretty sick of the images, a striking but walked sense this project apart from shouting. I think its the idea behind it, which is that they want to show the survivors of conflict and survivors of war differently. I mean, if you look at how most, most n. G. O. S, most people, the media, when we talk about children in war zones, we show suffering victims. So we show the devastation and then the horrors of war. And critics would say that if you only show those images of children like that in those horrible situations that you sort of to humanize them, that theyre only defined by the suffering that theyve, theyve gone through. And the idea of this book was to show them in a different way. So if you take the images on the cover of the book amal, shes a, a refugee from syria. She lives in a refugee camp in lebanon. But look at this image. I mean, she should always be a fashion model. She looks like a beautiful confident, strong young girl, and this is how she wanted to be depicted. So the idea behind this book is to give the power back to the survivors of how they want to be depicted. And so they dont to be only defined by their suffering, but also by their hopes and dreams of their basically like like all of us. But why show victims or survivors i should say from across a century of conflict, why not concentrate on children today who have suffered from war yet again, the idea behind it is to have the connections. So, i mean, theres no place on the earth that hasnt seen war at some time in its history. And basically the experience of war as a child is, is universal. Its the same everywhere. So whether its amals do trial do, went through war in syria today or the oldest survivor in the book, which is eric carle whos now a 107 years old german man. He survived the 1st world war as a child, then the nazi era, the 2nd world war. And he, i think really says it best in the book where he says that one of the reasons hes so supportive of Syrian Refugees in germany now is because he remembers being that starving a child in a war when he was a child. And someone helped him so he wants to, he wants to help the people that i can see you, youre very emotional about it. Its a very emotional summer is a phenomenal book. Stay with us because we want to talk about another book. Its a book of prize time and the winner this time its going to a 1st time author, my very astute coach, judges, and i have chosen that standing when and that is so keeping it 20 book of price story. Im absolutely stunned. I didnt expect a whole id like to 1st of all just thank my mother. I think ive been clear that my mother is in every page of this book and without her, i wouldnt be here and my work would be here. Yes. And so thank you. Now dont go getting very excited, of course, very happy. Youre with scott just by chance. This is purely by dont start from a sure school is in the middle of rejig facebook. So tell us more about yeah, i bought it when it was shortlisted a number of weeks ago, but i didnt get around to read it until starting into it just last week. So im right in the beginning of it now. But a really amazing, amazing book. I mean, its basically about childhood growing up in poverty, in glasgow, in the early eightys. So sort of the, the factual years. And its about a young boy who is coming of age in glasgow wall. His mother is basically coming apart, suffering severe alcoholism, and douglas too has said himself, this is very autobiographical. It really is his childhood story. His mother died of alcoholism when he was 16. And what i find interesting though, about the book is its a 1st time novel, but i mean, its phenomenal. He east such a complete author, his voice is so so clear. And so present. I mean, its both very gritty and harsh as youd expect, very raw in the language, but also at times just incredibly beautiful, very, very poetic. I was really struck by it. I mean, it tells quite emotionally powerful moments, but it doesnt help being sort of market or sentimental. I think its really phenomenal book. Im really excited to see what, what theyll come up with next. Ok. Just briefly, the lot of booker Prize Winners books 1st of all, it makes them really internationally famous. And secondly, sounds a lot of books. And thirdly, sometimes they go to the movies. Will this wrong transfer to the Silver Screen . Yeah, it might, might. Well, do i mean you had great, you know, list was originally a booker prize winner and various others, the english patient, booker prize winner, being great films. This film would be more difficult. Its very raw, very, very powerful. But i think you bake in to make them a zing film if someone could pull off that combination of grit and poets. Poetry that he does in the book skull. I was always thank you very much. This week marks the 75th anniversary of the beginning of the nuremberg trials when the nazi leadership were tried for war crimes. At the end of world war 2, the city of nuremberg home to some of the largest buildings built by the nazis will forever be associated with darkest pages of german history. So what is happening to these buildings in modern day . Nuremberg, which holds such painful memories. d d this sweeping zeppelin grandstand in nuremberg, it was here in these purpose built grounds that hundreds of thousands of people gathered for nazi rallies led by adults. In the 1930 s. Each year, some 300000 visitors come to see what remains of the nazi era constructions before these buildings which are still here today, are in a way a document of the National Socialist easier. But he leaked this means that as architectural relics, they represent a visual ideal that the nazi regime, a sad part of the ruins, testified to a dark chapter of german history. Efforts have been made to demystify them. And field has even been opened up to leisure time activities. Ready that delicate balance between remembering the past and opening the space up for a new story. I dont know how much the stadium, the tribune, and the sports facilities around need, renovating the pitch works very well as a Sports Facility without the grandstand. But im also concerned that if its not renovated now, it will become a kind of memorial place of pilgrimage, finian nazis, and if its renovated, then perhaps it can be better used for civilian sports purposes. Thats why my opinions divided. Believe it or not, a
