7:35 pm
nature has always been there some way in my childhood. one of my members going on is of me just thinking about for the if you me been in the field is kind of the best one of the best people to be in the field with the thoughts of having the best you know, pauline on police studies were cited to prove that interest. now, i mean because of all of the successes we've had been on i, it seems like we're seeing now to see for, hey, buddy, who preachers sooner, i really believe that easily was conducting a lot more studies. the fields were really good, possible, and this fun how all of us have to into while
7:36 pm
the, my research focuses on why, but of course, the landscape shows and some of the monster different thought spaces why i was always fascinated by it. just, you know, been able to find all kinds of you feel like he's all kind of acacia on that. even though research can never be close to that. if occasion the i see montana itself is as we have sort of this month is kind of in the area and that makes it really difficult flying. this is not the walk through
7:37 pm
the right to the ports are really striking about is there is a landscape is always spectacular. it's lots of just to receive views of, you know, sometimes it's the cloud for example, where the most sandals floating on the side of it. and it's like really just visually stimulated issues like the mountain wants to reward you. the
7:38 pm
caves a valuable a cell size for body weight. you will also find needs and also reveal boss. i say, yes, i could says a good number i was b, c was not wants to be around humans over the last pieces, the trying to escape and know the table. in this case,
7:39 pm
it's more efficient to navigate a song if location. so that's what this is able to pick up on this slide, a image song and some of the song they analyzed. and i want to know what i'm just sitting in front of them. the kind of of this and this is how the product is, how this thing has insight talking with flight. it's a very, very, very efficient just of the small box listed in case austin sourcing by lots of things when
7:40 pm
my food team and i 1st discovered it really risk. this is the shots around the 5 the has not been in a while for 45 years. you know, it was suddenly, oh, what's called this huge responsibility to now that we have to take on board. you in contact arrest pieces, you've got so you've got serious responsibility to protect it. the, the biggest 20 points my career i was being told that there was a few of course was just to be sure i knew the material because that's the way i feeling that with that myself. i'm a friend the fast and we went to the field. it was quite investors, we really did not get along at the end of the field trip. he seemed to just tell me
7:41 pm
that i'm doing this and i'm like, well, a bundle of the project so that somebody calls me up and say, so this guy is a friend. and then he basically just introduced us was very, very sure and will work perfectly together. we were best of friends that shortly before we started dating back back couple it's kind of in a it's it's, it's cold and it for me, it's just another way of advertising the bags and making box lou mall. cool. people could find love with bats and that gives me some kind of fulfillment. and of course we are very cool popular, so it's like a free advi or device. the
7:42 pm
more we now know is that you bought this person by to family, human and use. right. one of which is swans files, of course, on the climate change for us, how become more intense and more frequent the sick on. so it's this tiny bunch pieces that hadn't been less than 5 years. this cave just by the assumption of, of us in mind. you and the rest of africa is indeed complex. because in one breath, the little people, most people think of us are equal and we choose. and then a number of the beats then, well measured. now that's 800000, sometimes up to 4000 individuals on one single case. this community, for example,
7:43 pm
the home boss because of the life of me. so you didn't have to provide fence like energy drive that kind of bring money to the community and also, or funding or kind of the by studies and conservation is very challenging because of course, by some of the tunnel. so such a nice see if i see most times walk on. so it says i x sites in but settings in kind of research to do
7:44 pm
the, the a let me try the walking dead line. nice truck but you process them, you identify them. what space is the, take lots of measurements, you know, the length of the form length of the lay size of the head. you know, take photos, records be equal, efficient song call. so give me, you know, so it can be quite involving. so all of these to do at 9 because that's one box, right, and i'll turn on the
7:45 pm
the phone he, you want to give up. you tend to think i, we just hear like somebody said, documenting the end. because when we got into a mattress and box conservation, we couldn't find people to new comp 2 in 9, julia and west africa was very difficult. it's given my 2 way ours and getting men so. so this is what we want. the next generation of these active documents that are to a point not to go to the move on to the right, on that as the the couple who are raising with staff and students. and that's conservation. the
7:46 pm
assessment to know where the, what the and the use of to spell your last name. like what does the, how to define, what was was use one list of pos from the other ones. these are these 5 lots and lots of assessments and don't have a comment about box it. so this is called the main, you know, find a really small population of resources on the box or just causing told us this is a new to know that is just the beginning. then ben's questions for me was so much to find out about the the
7:47 pm
vp in almost the hassle of navy guy with the city that a quite because i keep trying to keep it helps whether i come back because it, it just, it has to have a tom to it, and i think it keeps the shop but we are on the road which leads to the area. she's actually my library and as he said the
7:48 pm
she here hey, you're hiding behind the show. hey, hello. hi. how are you? are you good? you remember what does this look like? the 1st time we fight over the phone? i'm trying to it was a little old. broken furniture. yeah. most of it all the way to the ceiling we stopped up on was receiving because of the whole. now we'll use a visual inspection and it will likely continue to be the children's action when we went to visit. so picture vibrant the colors, lots of children's books come see financial and just activity and all of that good
7:49 pm
stuff in the future. the a lot of the i that was in the building is always, you know, to 1931 when he was here and some of the stuff i'd be like to send a brief but also talk suppose with more contemporary africa not so feel a little these guys are on the building and the financial as well. all the original and in case you're wondering who the library was named after that is the man the really i'm no stop. mcmillan, he was an american really millionaire who does the libraries built for of the it's a library that's had a 2nd kind of history for 90 as i would put the next 90 look. like
7:50 pm
i've never seen more every day you just come a new saying just library salinas 1st and put them in piece of the full coffee fast it always least with some christian don't. yeah. so many questions. i've never seen this for the thing that the, you kind of push away that it is a colonial. you are library that it did not now like people access for almost 30 years. i've tried was build those of fox, but it's also
7:51 pm
a fact that is located the narrow b and we're going to make it all in the state of the kind of room. so welcome to the kind of room. at some point in time, the early days of this library, this was one of the most precious collections of kind of my to the solution of to kind of looks like it's very different how sleep very different looks like kind of the time. right, in this morning about about africa itself as an geographically and about africa ends. very influenced, obviously the collection itself by the time. so it would be very until the logical nature, the kind of like list of the, the off it comes in the biology and their eating habits and all of this things. so it was due to the african as an object. some of the more disturbing materials that
7:52 pm
we found includes like a ledger of money that was paid to for my slaveowners. i think in west africa was it gone now was gone. and so the, the collection itself reflected the sort of ideology of the time it would be very inspired by the british empire and the thoughts around civilizing the natives. mm hm. yeah. and i think we definitely want to, to maintain this mysterious, of this room so, so in the future, mcmillan, this will definitely be where we house on us to kind of collection is probably going to be bigger. so yeah, we definitely don't want to erase anyone, even if the people who didn't try to refax. mm hm. when she raced them back, we'll try and create balance and try to present as many versions of this history as we can. looking at the archives that we have sometimes quite heartbreaking to look
7:53 pm
at. but what is clear is that we've got to look at this thing in the i. so it's not a lot of history, but i think not confronting it, is not the thing to do either so we can choose how we want to confronted and how we're going to move forward from that. and i think out of the work that we're doing is always on to the good afternoon from nairobi. can you i'm my name is angela wish luka. i'm a found a magazine trustee at the bank where we're still public libraries and there will be today we are recording season 2 of our pod cast apologies for the people. and the particular episodes that we're looking at is in keeping with what our podcast does, which is take items, all kinds of items, other significant items that we are finding in the library as part of our
7:54 pm
restoration work. and using these to tell a story about kenya's history and about the library itself. we have found insignia in the library basement from italian regiments, and italian prisoners of war will catch you during world war 2. but the british colonial government and it says mechanize black checked latanya and that's it. mike, vic? yep. wow. okay. yep. yep. the 2nd episode that we are recording is looking at the renaming of places and also asking the question is my coming on memorial library should be renamed and if so, what it will be renamed into we don't even know what a new name might be. yeah, we don't, but it's also because it's pulled up to us and we must have published participation to make sure that the name eventually we present what people actually want to do. a good idea. let's take this one to the 3 tests. our honda is at the book,
7:55 pm
ben teresa and let us know what you think the library should be renamed. you know, the, this neighborhood itself was built by italian prison as a hole in the 1940. so this is kind of in the library. it was our 1st refurbishment project in 2020. we've made huge improvements. see i used to look very, very different name. but when we
7:56 pm
started this library, i was very mindful of the fact that the children that use it. so we dedicated it to use by children way at the new year library out of our team. they're, they're looking some of the new book collections that we have so that we can add them to the collection. the will always be things that we have to put our resources into as a country. but how we see ourselves also really matos, because it also influences how we do everything else. the 1st reseal. so as of people with the 2nd kind of history that influences how we
7:57 pm
think of ourselves then and that influences as everything else that we do a nice the public libraries agreed equalizes. and if they can be places where people sense of themselves is, is heightened and is dental and you have resources going towards that, i think would find that we become better people. so having, having seen what the end of this process looks like, there's so much we've done, but also so much it feels like, like when he let me show you, i'll give you the scratch, the surface that gives us rob. this is the surface. mm hm. so i think this to me is all maybe that tell you, is it facing base also allow me it's a mom of cost. yeah. but you think about the potential impact
7:58 pm
on, on people to dan in the future. and that makes it very exciting. the is the biggest over the election yet in history, the biggest democracy, both its own epic showdown in this final episode of speaking the port finally of prime minister and the movie elevated in the global baez's file. the 4th will be, take a long room under the microscope with them and how much is facts? and how much is fiction to be in the port fox sports? oh no. does he not ever use thousands of monkeys to use to scientific research,
7:59 pm
activate and conservation, a say the testings in may. 21 east investigate. you mean the legal trade and meet scientists who lives be on this on a tree cart, team of men for dismiss on out to 0? seeing how believes that shouldn't underestimate the consequences of snatching out and move from their natural habitat. family groups are separated, and infants and juveniles are separated from their mothers. and it causes a tremendous amount of social disturbance in these populations, which we just don't think about. i mean, know how come here to be in behaviorally sophisticated. they are how complex they are, and yet to put them into a gauge, i'm dr. be sure to light the and keep them all their life. he also believes that science isn't the only factor to consider ricky thinking that if i have a degree, if i look in the research institution or a university and best place to understand the books. and so if we don't continue
8:00 pm
with animal experimentation, let's be aware of the impacts of 5 actions. let us don't mean that we don't harm. we don't touch, we do, we exploit the, the israel says is pulling some of his troops out of gauze as con eunice area as a sense of delegation to cairo to $65.00 towards the, until mccrae, this is ellen just here in line from dell. ha. also coming up cause a mock 6 months for more than 53000 palestinians have been killed. billy half of them children. it was the international equipment in which faded
