Of knowledge to. Add will get reaction from kenya where doctors had been forced to drop some of their Reproductive Services because of a lack of dont aid from the u. S. Now the new us president has just reversed that policy. Plus weve got the story on what is behind the turtle hatchlings in kenya 7 beaches. Hello im kristie wonder its good to have your Company South africas chief pandemic advise us say a 3rd wave of covert 19 which is expected in the 2nd half of the year could be even worse than the current to 2nd way south africa is the worst hit country. A continent with 43000 deaths and 1400000 cases now the number of infections has soared because of the new variant of the virus that is say to be 50 percent more transmissible now the country is expecting its 1st delivery of 1000000 doses of the astra zeneca vaccine thats made to arrive on monday ill be talking to professor sally in a deal karim after this report. Health care workers at the frontline of south africas Coronavirus Crisis theyll be the 1st to be inoculated when the country starts its Vaccination Program but the initial delivery of 1000000. 00 doses going to even be enough to vaccinate half of south africas Health Professionals its still not clear when more vaccines will arrive. And how many South Africans who get the jab only 2 thirds want to be inoculated a recent survey found that is far below the global average when one of the. People in. Something like it was expressed in egypts and he becomes ok ill be sure and ill be good he did it i would always d of yes. Im afraid we. Are is your word the person good teacher dave should be just. Good. I want to get that but sure but that is if the inject out of peoples how. Did you get what. South africas Vaccination Campaign comes as the country appears to have passed the peak of the 2nd wave this all confirmed cases and hospitalizations spike in january. Deaths from the corona virus also soared to triple the level seen during the 1st wave last year. Could be just put cherishing the whole country covered just put pressure on that you never get us were not immune from that. The decline in confirmed cases says the Health Minister is partly due to the street to lockdown brought in at the end of december but the country is still on high alert with a new more infectious variant of the virus circulating in south africa making it more pressing than ever for the country to finally kick off its Vaccination Campaign. Im now joined by professor Salim Abdul Kareem he is an epidemiologist and Infectious Disease specialist he is the south african governments top scientific advisor on the pandemic welcome back to the Program Professor so south africa is expecting its 1st in every are called the united vaccines on monday when will you actually start vaccinating people and how many people are 1st in line is a good day to just be in the data that you is we are expecting delivery to take place on monday there are some procedures that need to be followed to looting the release of the individual lots following larry basses so i think it will probably take another 7 to 10 days for those procedures to be done so you can expect that the 1st vaccinations will be sometime close to the middle of february professor is this the right time to be talking about and perhaps preparing for a 3rd wave of the virus and perhaps even more mutations or variants. So what we have seen so far of this violence its been quite surprising we had thought that this is a very stable virus there are very few mutations and every month i look at the sequences im i see again only one of 2 mutations or that changed in november when suddenly we have a new theory into 23 mutations and that is quite a concerning observation when we look at that we did not anticipate that that variant would be able to spread so much faster its estimated that its about 50 percent more transmissible and thats what drove our 2nd when we had dissipated a 2nd wave would only be generally but instead we ended up with it being about 5 to 6 weeks earlier based on what we know now we can anticipate that we will see a 3rd and 4th wave in the course of this year probably the 2nd with the 3rd wave occurring when we get into our winter months thats usually when people spend more times more time indoors with the windows closed and we can anticipate that thats the likely time if we see a new v. M. And that would be even more concerning if it had to immunise kate because it would mean that there would be a higher proportion of our population that could be susceptible as things stand we are in the midst already of planning for the 3rd wave of doing some estimates of what that 3rd wave might look like when it might occur and we use that for planning a number of beds in the amount of oxygen supply is it going to be of last then the 2nd wave do you think do you think it will be worse that that way then the 2nd one. Experiencing. So based on what weve kind of models it could go in either direction if we see a new variant its likely to be much worse if we see the current theory and its likely to be similar if not less severe then ill come 2nd with it we are preparing on the basis of a worst Case Scenario all right thats professor Salim Abdelkarim talking to us from durban south africa thank you so much professor absolute pleasure thank you bye. U. S. President joe biden has reversed a ban on u. S. Foreign aid going to organizations that perform or promote abortion policy prohibited organizations from counseling women about abortion or referring them to.

Now kenya is one of the african countries whose womens Health Services were hard hit by the you expand it of kamandi has reaction now from nairobi. Sexual and Reproductive Health organizations have welcomed b. N. To the ban so here in kenya its not unusual to go to a Public Hospital for contraception only to be turned away because just simply isnt any so these organizations critically close the gaps found in the Public Health sector but they also provide Counseling Services for abortion and this they want able to receive in the us a doing that from presidency and speaking to a woman who works in one of these organizations earlier she said to me that services had to be killed back including that you should also free and affordable contraceptives which as you can imagine saw an increase in unintended pregnancies and unsafe abortions were still small the budgets meant scaling back on distribution of hiv medication as well as council screenings because these Services Also depend on us.

Apps like to talk on instagram revolutionizing the pop Music Industry is it all about 15 seconds old social media well be discussing not a mole in a minute welcome to our culture also coming up today. They must yourself in the natural paradise is created by american artist class celeste who illustrates the fragility of our planet with installations. Tik tok a mobile phone app which boasts over 800000000. 00 active users and is said to be worth 75000000000. 00 and its not even 5 years old and it is immensely powerful for instance seems to be able to create global pop hits in a flash is this a good thing and how does it all work ill be discussing this with our social media expert to this. Those clips uploaded to tech tucker 15 seconds or less making the app the perfect platform for todays short Attention Spans but i still anyone with a user profile can upload video content viral dances and music videos are among the most popular content on the platform its. Called. Made me. 17 year old olivia regal made headlines this month when her debut single drivers license hits 100000000 listens faster than any other song in the history of music streaming then tech talk was a big factor in the song success since within the 1st 24 hours of its release many popular tech talk creators had uploaded reaction videos or used to just background music for their dances. The song gained even more momentum when used by fans to showcase their acting and look sync skills as part of a socalled tech talk challenge creators showed themselves heartbroken during the 1st part of the video before transitioning into a glamorous version of themselves evidently the magic recipe for a viral hit. Im not a social media expert but my colleague or how to ruediger is a drivers license went from 0 to the top of the charts in a matter of days all because of tick talk. Well you know if they did try to see if a bit famous but that doesnt explain the shoots instant success so what happened on the day the sun came out golden tech talk just so random tech took you that you thought that song and have video and created a challenge and lots and lots of people participated in it talent so now we have all what a 1000000 videos you thing that song on take talk and i mean even i use that song i want my kicked out on my account to fill it with everywhere and then you know taylor swift commented on the instagram polwarth and so it became this huge pop cultural moment really yeah ok so this is not the 1st time the theres been a tick tock challenge has pushed a song to the top of the jobs im thinking of fleetwood mac. How have the likes of to talk on instagram changed how the charts in the last year what picked up and instagram really of which if the new video feature instagram you that thats kind of it picked up clone really but they encourage the user who upload their own content but you someone else thats moving some of these people become really multiply if and thats new for social media because you know if you remember facebook was very much about copyright violations even taking you with a video down if they used popular music so i mean its a bit ironic that now the feud to take took off get paid to to use the song and for instance charlie the meal you know she is one of the biggest to talk us and reportedly she gets paid 40000. 00 just to use the song in the video and dance to it so off of course all in the hope that this goes viral on the app and then goes viral in the charts and you have a number one hit so basically your song needs to have the potential for a good social media challenge then you go viral drugs to the top of the charts doesnt matter but the music sounds easy so why doesnt every pop singer do it well. Actually not that easy because when you can plan a viral moment it has to be offended because social media you know if they can spot a fake a mile away and thats actually what happened this week to Jennifer Lopez she uploaded a video on her instagram and had to talk and twitter channel because she wanted to recreate the it almost iconic beach scene dont cough the thing the music video and so we see her strolling down the beach and shes throwing up an expensive watch and have fun glasses and you know eventually this posting and saying cant wait for your recreate its new challenge but social media you thought they didnt like it they even criticized her for it why because they called her tone deaf its went out where in the middle of a pandemic i mean how are we going to recreate this huge scene when we dont have our own private jet to fly to the beach and were not supposed to travel so they criticize time and made quite a few funny means around that making fun of the talents so its not that easy its not even put Jennifer Lopez oh what a shame i was going to do a swing number which i remember why are. You very much for a visit with the thanks for help because explaining all that now look at some other cultural stories from around the world as we begin in new york where a must a piece of the italian renaissance painter bought it surely is just stretched a record price for a work by that artist at auction. The painting sold for 80000000. 92 with commissions and fees young man with up around is thought to depict a young nobleman showing off his own prized possession a decorative medallion bearing the image of a saint it is considered one of his finest portraits probably dates from the 1470s or 1418. To paris where british designer kim joness debut collection for fendi brought some bookish glamour to his 1st show the collection was inspired by virginia woolfs novel orlando and jones recruited as many superstars and superstar models as possible with no Live Audience the models runway was actually a cool glass maze and another debut this time in the United Arab Emirates the 1st of a fashion week for men there a macho couture set the show in the desert with all the models wearing white and sporting various interpretations of the traditional dish. And in the United States where the annual Sundance Film Festival in park city utah was for the 1st time a virtual festival and got on the way with a very topical film. In the same breath as a documentary by chinese american director none through wang which charts the misinformation and propaganda that accompanied the spread of the corona virus in both. Washington. Now the american artist Claire Celeste started her professional life as an Arts Ministry to dealing with other artists but see she soon changed sides as it were a meanwhile now based in berlin she exhibits her work around the world raw material is simply paper but she creates extraordinary immersive collages that bring the viewer into a natural paradise and theres an environmental message in all her work to. This nature collages assembled from hundreds of paper images the installation biodiversity celebrates the wide variety of species welcome to clear celestes blooming world. Actually and then i would use collage to plan my paintings and then one day i realize that the collage that i made to play a painting was actually much better than the painting itself celeste is inspired by Natural History images of flora and fauna from around the world the american born artist is based in berlin from where she creates works like biodiversity a tribute to nature but also a warning. It was originally only about nature but then when i realized just how many spaces in my artwork are vanishing or have are to be honest it became impossible to ignore it herself because i think the most important part of why our work. So must doesnt want her creations to be seen as merely decorative but she does try to make them beautiful her works are shown in International Galleries such as these canvas collages and sweeping. This mural adorns a Department Store in munich illustrations installations and glass sculptures are all part of her portfolio the artist draws inspiration from places with lush vegetation like berlins Botanical Garden as a diplomats child she lived in many countries such as thailand brazil italy and the United States exposing her to the joy of natures great diversity the threat to the environment is a source of worry for. During quarantine the 1st short 3 weeks i remember looking at my artwork and thinking that the planet doesnt need birth at all though i think it sometimes my gurus and nks are perhaps not. Very environmentally friendly and this is a question that i have but ive recently decided that im going to continue making my art because i think its really important as a vehicle for change and that im giving people a method of ecological origin fear and ecological hope or im trying to. Her art is based on vintage naturalistic drawings of the animals and plants mixed with present day photos. Like the idea of birds from 20300 years ago coexisting with contemporary ones i like that theres sort of this seamless timeline thats connecting the older drawings to the contemporary photography. She began by cutting out suitable images for her collages and in the process realize that quite a few of the depicted species are now extinct. Nowadays celeste uses online archives she starts by composing her nature collages on the computer then she prints them on recycled paper and cuts them out her latest work using that approach as a kind of chandelier.
