such like a st rates as low as like clinic pieces if being sampled for the show, which has been organized to mock the centennial efficient expense, but now you're up to date of the next down by the race has long begun. later when we look back, we recognized at all, that's the moment when everything changed. it's all about tillman and in the age of artificial intelligence. in 5 years, it's going to literally be china. the us who will control the technology that will shape the future of humanity. we may only find out, you know what the harms and and malign uses as a weapon against democracy or when it is too late. smotts new world,

z a i race stuff. march 16th on dw the this is one of kenya's based kayak is in training. the $545.00 will be that microsoft going to be olympics with this level kaya. so that's a beacon lots well it's happening championships held almost exclusively in europe for africans like sammy missouri. that can be an obstacle for us to go out and participate in any events within the country. we have to get lots of documents submitting all those documents is not the 100 percent like we are going to get to me this. so there is someone behind this somewhere who have to be side of jacob at

different points and decide whether we have going to go out or not the, the few natural landscapes of basis use it for slalom kind of training. then central can use to gone over the uh, the cemetery grew up just steps from its banks of this region was chosen to host the african championships full slalom kayaking. in 2015, he began to see the what was his with fresh eyes. i used to see him fed somewhat to somebody by taking the back home and i was young of uh we held that obligation to ship everyone about what did they quote? so there's a big sport this big spose inspired sammy, and he started to become

a kayak pioneer and kenya with minimal equipment. so guys, i'm ready for team today. so that's my head minutes. my jacket in my face to my bottle used to be a k, a bottle double blade on one blade. got broken. that's a bubble uh stick. i decided to improvise practices around it and i use it for my training. so improvisation is key. as somebody is preparing to take part in the canoe, sloan and world cup in spain and the bull championships in london, which double as the qualifies for the parents and impacts. he's keenly aware of the resource gap between the gear he has and what's available in europe. most of the other the lives in france and they have easy access on kayaks in for that coupon for us to get maybe like a bottle of a kayak in the country. it will cost a lot. like because we are using right now. the old old bunch and we just try to

maintain them because we know it's hard to get any of the equipments down here for the last few months and few weeks we have been training really hard. he's a tough athlete now about the 1st steps on the what was said were not so easy when i joined the club, this lot of lab and i said, well, i had some friends who helped me for me. i do enjoy every minute. when i'm in the city, but my main thing, i told him maybe in winning that with these by a couple of people and i just want to see the packing going and coming to be bought in kenya. slalom kayaking involves completing a course of hunting gates and the fastest time possible green gates across to all

moving down stream. red gates must be crossed in an upstream direction. oscillates in europe, often training into facilities with artificial rivers and fiberglass gates. but here on this, the gone to semi and his friends make do with what they have in kenya. the as of, if you mean and infrastructure is the most, chatted us compared to other countries. this loan get uh, so important on that is uh you have to maneuver that on the uh, getting for uh, reviews, being and cable. then you have like both types. so we painted them green and red just to identify the upstream on the dos you get. yeah. that's our own we own house to do a level 40, if as if disposing and equipment related, obstacles weren't enough. the biggest challenge lies ahead for sammy guessing. visa

is in the capital 9 rugby. we seem to have around like 1010 days before we fly out for a form of edition. uh for the couple of days we, we've not been saying we've been to night will be almost for like 3 or 4 days. stressful. uh, going full uh through defense offices. uh, looking for a visa and all that. but yesterday and today, uh, we had a chance to do a training. that's why i have a smile on my, on my face. i like what, uh and this is almost like going, but the stress of his visa sagas soon returns at home piles of documents are still waiting to be submitted to the spanish and purchased embassies. a complicated process. yeah, for us to go out and participate in an event we developed country, we have to get lots of documents is uh like passports because invitations late

does our bank statements premium? okay. very good statements and all that stuff. i don't know why they do ask for all those documents in as an identity. you seem to have something to come back home for like you have a happy family. you have like the duties from home. you will not kind that i would we yeah. if you go out there, you know what, like going and thing definitely in the let's it doesn't feel comfortable for you. yes. all those kind of questions and you're just going for sports, then turn back on. so if i don't get a chance these the on the, on these events, and i'll have to wait for another like 4 or 5 years to say more and wait for like the nic calling because somebody has good reason to be consent of to being

invited to a u. k and them to qualify in 2015, he acquired his 1st passport at great personal expense. but the british visa was never issued and his documents languished. i'm used for another half decade. it's a problem sized by many african athletes, even at the highest levels. so in 2022 visa delays caused kenyon sprint, etc. not on yana to be left behind, while his teammates travelled ahead to the world athletics championships in the united states. the o africa recruit holder had his visa, denial reversed at the last minute and ended his 20 hour plane journey to 3 hours before his $100.00 mesa race began. hardly ideal conditions for supposing superstar office like been in these athlete or d, o 11 new with even less fortunate. despite being the only african to qualify for the contest type test alone, she was never grown to the visa at all. even well,

huge business travelers, phase months, long backlogs, when applying for visas at western embassies with the interview process can be grueling and invasive. so actually it's like send me the recurring 2 hour bus. johnny to nairobi means he's at a disadvantage. so for us to get visas, we have to stay out of the water and we have to go out and it will be done every day. slipping our sessions on training. somehow visit for cameras. i'm not allowed inside the embassies, so we catch up with sammy, for a tea break, as he prepares to drop off his final application for a visa to spain. yeah, it has been a long day looking for visas. i have my documents here and the already, they don't know, the guy beheaded this, went up. he's going to approve all my documents. and i've done this before going

into the m. s. the and sometimes i didn't actually, on the time, i didn't mondays to get visas, so i don't know what time remaining with he's just dropping these documents into the building over there. i'm hoping we'll get that either. the application is now out sammy's hands, and he's able to focus on what he loves most, preparing for his upcoming contests, and motivating a new generation of sedona locals to take an interest in this for the. okay, you'll continue getting speech when you go into those suite much about forward sweets and bucks weeks with them, but then you come back. all right, let's see it now do it so know. nice. so uh, based on his one of the other thing we have. oh goodness,

he was like the best junior uh, uh for the last one, but he was meant to come with us in space. but he didn't have uh, fox sports. and i'm sure it was a hustle for visas. yeah, we have a big group. nobody on your from the same area, the all we sing me not out there and i'm happy to be present them. you know, big events on i'm, i also know the happy for me. um. yeah. i'm so tired, man, reading this training. it was too fine. yeah. so next month, what i'm doing next month, we have 2 competitions. there's a world cup in the world championships, emily, i finally divide. i don't know if this training of ours will be enough for us to go over there and compete with those guys. this window which know my demo with the boat, this visa stuff about the stuff. yeah. it's been hard to get

a nipple hot when and i don't need to go to night ruby and come back, things like that. but anyway, let's try what we can. we've got to mean i'm just waiting to see if this visa can be go. i'll tell you that. let's hold on one. so it's almost time for lunch. why don't we head up and drop something to be sure. the day of sammy's departure has finally arrived, and he's delighted by the news from the spanish embassy. today the day. i'm so excited. i'm heading to the airport. i already have this buddy's visa, so i'm going to put it in my country in spite. but unfortunately, i don't have the u. k visa, so i will have to send my passport back home to get a visa for u. k. be something that i'm going to say, but that's hoping all, everything will go to some awarded of you as i'm, you know, for the guns they, we, those, my bus boats on my bus. i will say that like back to kenya and kind

of, i don't know, what are they going to stump beds? toner, sunny's u. k. visa was ultimately granted. bob, his passport was mailed back late. he had to re book his flight and lost imposing days for preparation in london. sammy came in a task out of $105.00 and failed to qualify. punch, he tells us his dream of becoming the 1st peddler to represent kenya. the lympics still lives on the . 2 the simple solution for the local problem of plastic waste. the twist
