but while kenya only recycles 1% of its e—waste, this is farfrom being just a kenyan or an african problem. for example, north america only recycles about 15% of its e—waste. while the informal and partial recycling of electronic waste has been the status quo in kenya for decades, one organisation is hoping to change that. so some of the waste from landfills like the one in dandora ends up in e—waste centres such as this one. well, i'm here to find out what the process is when the waste gets here. the waste electrical and electronics equipment centre collects and recycles a variety of e—waste, ranging from computers and phones to solar panels and refrigerators. at its nairobi headquarters, these are then channelled to the relevant workshop. in one, technicians test and refurbish laptops and tablets

so they can be used again. and any device or appliance deemed beyond repair is sent to the dismantling room to be stripped for usable parts. and in another room, hundreds of batteries are upcycled, saving them from contaminating the soil in dumpsites like dandora. at the moment, we are able to receive 240 tonnes - of e—waste per year, though i we have the capacity to process 200 tonnes per month, _ which means we are performing way, way, way below capacity. the e—waste that is produced - is as a result of electronic devices that have been imported to this country. - some of them are coming as good devices that are able _ to last for a long time, - others a very short life span. we also have other devices that are coming to the country- through illegal channels. they do not go through the required tests. - but of course, we also have -

electronic devices coming to this country disguised as donations. you can't use them for more than even two months. - but despite these hurdles and the prediction that the amount of global e—waste could double by 2050, joseph hopes that organisations such as his could start to make a positive difference. but what difference that could have on the livelihoods of people like stanley who rely on dumps like dandora to survive is now uncertain. translation: i've been able to open a repair shop - with the money i've made here, so i will keep going. i will only stop working when my body gives up. that was michael. and we're staying in kenya now to look at the issue of maternal health. yeah, yasmin morgan—griffiths has been looking at attempts to widen access to vital health care

in remote parts of the country. a woman dies every two minutes due to complications in pregnancy or childbirth. the majority of all maternal deaths are in sub—saharan africa. and in kenya, the problem is actually getting worse. 70% of the population lives in remote rural areas where they're cut off from life—saving infrastructure. not all mums are able to access the right kind of care, transport — getting to the hospital is always an issue. we don't have enough health care workers for the population. big problems, i would say. not all maternal health clinics across kenya are as well—equipped or as well—staffed as this one in nairobi. but it's hoped the technology

being trialled here could help ensure that more mothers—to—be get access to potentially life—saving treatment. this is janefer�*s first glimpse of her baby. the legs. oh, wow. ultrasound scans like these play a key role in ensuring a pregnancy goes smoothly. unfortunately, there's been some bumps in the road forjanefer. last month, i had a complication. i had a discharge. she was advised to go straight to hospital to get checked out. i was scared. yeah, i was scared. i was like, "maybe i'm losing the baby or something." - luckily, janefer and her baby are both fine, but she also had problems in her previous pregnancy. i had to go for caesarean section. and did your doctors tell you that it could have been prevented if you'd had an ultrasound earlier? yeah, they said it could have been prevented. l

where you live, is it difficult to get an ultrasound during your pregnancy? it's quite expensive and you have | to go for a long distance to get it. jacaranda health, the organisation that runs this clinic, has partnered with tech giant google to trial a solution that could help save lives. this ultrasound probe sends video output to a tablet or smartphone, making this system cheaper and much more portable than traditional ultrasound scanners. artificial intelligence then interprets the image without the need for a sonographer. the information that i'll get here will help me to save the life of a mother and also save the life of the foetus. i've come to google's offices in nairobi to find out more about how their ai models are being developed and how people who aren't sonographers can be trained to use it. if this technology is intended to be

so easy that you could train anybody to do it, do you think that i could have a go? i think you definitely could. first, i need to measure the size of the bump and apply my ultrasound gel. i need to do six sweeps over the abdomen, and the app gives me instructions for every step of the process. the ai models then analyse the image. they give two vital pieces of information. the gestational age — that's how many weeks old the foetus is — and the foetal position, or the direction the foetus is facing inside the uterus. we're not trying to replace sonographers. humans are very important to providing care, and wejust want to give them additional tools in their toolset. you know, obviously, we've done this on a model that is created for training purposes. are there challenges to doing this on real human beings who might vary from each other? the models were trained on thousands of patients

from different backgrounds, and so the model's seen a lot of different variations. but google needs to collect an even greater diversity of patient data to ensure the system can work for as many people as possible. around 100 scans have been collected in clinical settings in kenya so far. a lot more than that will be needed before the system is ready for routine use. although the research is still in its early stages, jacaranda health hopes the trial marks the beginning of better days for maternal health in kenya. 10% of mums in rural kenya have access to ultrasound services. if this is available, it will definitely be a game—changer. and that's all we've got time for on the short version of click. the full length version is waiting for you right now on iplayer.

we shall be back next week. thanks for watching. hello there. instead of snow falling, it's rain that's going to be falling this weekend. and that combined with some snow melt, has already seen large numbers of flood warnings, particularly through the midlands and southern england. the weekend, though, does look like it should be a bit drier than it has been. we've got this weather front, though, bringing some wetter weather towards scotland and we've still got low pressure in charge. but the colder air is getting restricted to the far north of scotland on saturday, with milder conditions elsewhere leading to that snow melting. there may not be a great deal of rain falling. most of the wet weather will be in scotland. the snow really in the far north over the tops of the mountains there.

and we may well get some sunshine later in southern scotland, also northern ireland and a brighter day for northern england. some sunshine elsewhere across england and wales with a few showers, mainly for south wales and the south west of england. we're making 12 or 13 degrees in the south east of england and seven degrees across large parts of scotland. so the milder air is pushing north. what's following that weather front? and the last of the cold air moves away from the north of scotland. so we may have some brighter conditions here as well. maybe the chance of a bit of rain, though, coming from some weather fronts through the north sea near those coasts. otherwise quite cloudy to begin with, a bit of sunshine coming through the odd shower around southern and western areas. nothing particularly heavy, still a bit blustery through the english channel. otherwise the winds will be light and those temperatures are going to be nearer 8 to ten degrees. so continuing to turn a bit milder in scotland in particular. there is some slightly cooler air though coming in from the atlantic on this polar maritime air mass that's originating from the northwest and swinging round to the uk as a westerly wind.

and that's going to bring sunshine and showers really for monday and the bulk of the showers will be towards the northwest. and because it's a bit colder, it could be some winter illness over the hills in particular, one or two showers heading towards cumbria too. but for many eastern parts of the uk, monday should be dry with some sunshine around. those temperatures are nearer seven to 9 degrees for the start of the week. that low pressure still to the north of scotland, still feeding in a few showers overnight. and then this weather system is coming in from the southwest on tuesday. so still a few wintry showers for northern scotland, some sunshine in the rest of the country and for northern ireland for a while. but the cloud will increase quickly across england and wales and across wales, southern england. this is where we're probably going to see the bulk of the rain, especially in the afternoon. ahead of that, we could make eight or nine degrees in north east england and also much of scotland. things are milder for the south and this mild south—westerly wind will bring some further rain overnight and into wednesday. things are a little bit chillier in the north of scotland where it's generally dry

here with some sunshine, but some outbreaks of rain developing in northern ireland and also southern scotland. and that hang back of rain across southern england and through the english channel means we may see some sunshine through the midlands, across to some eastern parts of england where temperatures are reaching 11 or 12 degrees. now, looking further ahead, some uncertainty. yes, some computer models want to take areas of low pressure and continue to move them over the uk. what is marginally more likely is that that area of low pressure is going to move away and anything coming in from the atlantic just going to get stalled out at sea as we get a bit of rejigging across the uk. and that happens because the jet stream is going to really buckle into this sort of shape. we're going to be on the colder side of the jet stream. so later next week into the weekend, things may turn a little bit colder, bringing the risk of some frost, but it should be a bit drier.

live from washington. this is bbc news... the us is laying out new standards for countries recieving military aid, as it warns israel about going over the top in its response in gaza.

that comes as israel orders a plan to evacuate rafah in the south of the gaza strip, ahead of an expected ground invasion. and — although the votes continue to be counted in pakistan — both candidates have claimed victory in thursday's general elections. hello i'm... we start with a number of developments in the middle east. on friday, israel intercepted dozens of rockets fired from lebanon. the iran—backed his brother movement said the strikes were in response to attacks in its south. meanwhile, israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu ordered the military to plan evacuations from the city of rafah, ahead of an expanded ground offensive in its war in gaza. of the nearly two million people who live in gaza, more than 80% are now displaced. the majority have gone to rafah. palestinian authorities say that two years ago, rafah�*s population was an estimated 260 thousand people.

it now stands at one point four million.
