the 10s of thousands, the silence had to help with reconstruction. but the end the dream of revolution, july 20th on d. w. the. this date up the news that for tech coming up on the program, the special to end if she and activists in gab campaigning hod as a moving vote in parliament could see the country's ban on female genital mutilation. listed it's a tough fights. there were strong supports in the country to continue the harmful practice post of coming up and camera rude. local fishermen tell b. w big industrial phone is a taking all the fish and attacking them, etc. they say the government isn't doing anything to help it. plus you're looking at the world's most expensive sheet and send a go. there is space,

a symbol that can cost tens of thousands of on the hello. i'm christine. wonder it's good to have your company. female genital mutilation is recognized internationally as a violation of the human rights of girls and women, but it is still being practiced in many african, middle eastern and asian countries despise official bands about 200000000 women and goals alive today have undergone. if g m, the largest share of them 144000000 in africa. now if jim involves removing healthy, a normal tissues from the female genitals, it is mostly carried out on goals between infancy and the age of this,

the many are left with both immediate and long term complications. tracing these complications as estimated to cost health systems over a $1000000000.00. every yes. okay. and the as one of the highest levels of 50 m in the world. so it was a huge victory for active is when the country banded in 2015, but now barely a decade later, the band could be of a to can be as parliament is due to vote on the bill that will reverse the bad. now, best prospect has longed health and human rights activists in the data and world wide the w's. i mean that to some young sent us this report from benjamin that is, uh, a tab you should, that would be nice. the majority is leading the discussion about female genital mutilation. of g m. it's classic cross, so it's activism begins to practice. but it's a difficult conversation. i am a provider. i seem to remember some of the things that happened to me when i was

taken as, as, as a young girl, and in this conversation, as a bus stop. and she's been the women's rights to this a long time on various issues. but now how focus is to try to save the f g m, but it is important that you hear from defend innovations. and also see i'm a way of trying to walk me to all of us collectively. and try to convince me with doors that are from the force inside, put on those times. that is not a bad power. is not also about i'm, i'm wisdom, ideal. it is. but it is an issue that we met and guys so faced with another people have the allies that of the some issue. and it is affecting a lot of people who are active as against f g and continue to talk with people in communities. but the bond was knocked it because it didn't stop people from cutting out the practice,

but many have never stopped working against the bun. i'm those one of the bottom links that obvious include discipline sizes. the women who kind of out of the ceremonial cuts in a brick force, which we meant for this report, but no one will talk on camera because what they do is illegal at the moment here in parliament. do know because happy to explain why they want to repeat the bad national assembly member as mama g, but it's of the full front of the movement seeking repealed. but i 5 for the lights of the world. it would be on our side for the light of muslims on our side for the right of people who believe in that position that missed looking in 2015 on guided as it was on the 17 posting that serves for commission by the president, the parliament tickets and hands as the law, without proper consultation. the consistent ceremony started fees up across the country. they are regarded as important cultural funds. many also say f

t m is a muslim, really just practice, but not only a moms agree from uh, trying to justify. uh saying is uh, really just practice which is not true. it has nothing to do with the religion because he never increase your he slapped me t, it never did. is you just allow me the, as a muslim guy, mostly it is hum for that as well. recognized by all the international organizations and by new located up does it have been proof will be on, on and out. an interesting home for a human being kind of accept it. it's allow mccully and kind of between that and so not be told that it is she is pretty sure but would remain telling you what how what continues to make f gm, sol seely, acceptable way regardless of digital. and now to talk more about what it

would mean if the, if jam band were to be reversed and the can to, we have in fights at docs. that was how awesome it onto the show. she is the global coordinates. i'll see you in program on the elimination of female genital mutilation. welcome to data being used. i forget dr. estimate. we see active is in the gambia still working to convince people to stop practicing if she and why is it proving difficult to get all communities on board to ending female genital mutilation. it is difficult because again, via, as you know, the f t impermanence is pretty high. c, l 2 for the goals undergoing h t m. and the last survey shows that about half of the population is supportive of atm continuation. so there is a lot of improvements uh for mtm continuation at the moment.

and i do want to get into more about those reasons and little late to, but it's talk about the band that the can be adopted on. if jim in 2015, what has this been achieved? was successful in having the band buddy it test, taking them about 9 years to enforce each the it was a good foundation to have atm interventions to be implemented. but the law itself was not enforced, and it was only last here that it was in force. and it's a good, a movement to change the snow, but it was not enforced since then. so what will it mean uh for young goes in the gamut. if that band on, if t m is of attend, the e r y is concerned suits

this repealed be successful because each with the last for the countries political commitment and foundations for the existing into advances that we are conducting. so the goals, who are there would be at a higher risk to undergo sdn as it is very, is a large burden of both. uh, there's an estimated over meeting and goes with that i'm going to and cm, and they would be more and more over the cost of the treatment of mtm. he's also estimated at $5000000.00 us the dollars annually, that is truly presentable. we are not only concerned about that on my secret. i'm a few cases of this little repeat in the game here, but we're also worried that it would have already been effects in the region and globally does document those. so advocates

a full f t m. the proponents of if jim argue that there is a double stand because it's widely accepted for boy children to be circumcised. for example, does this arguments hold merits? yes. eh, i was in the gum. yeah. about 2 weeks ago and the do we talked about one of the just vacations for the lori piece, ease to maintain cultural and religious rights. but these rights should not supercede the rights to freedom from cruelty from violence, from health for security, from the glitzy and f, g m, as you know, is a violation to all of these rights. there is no health benefits to f d m. as a culture of practice, each, on the contrary, it leads to several health complications and it appears that they are nice sort of

instrument. there is all the bands which as the numbers reveal are not working really well. because even when there is a bad, as in the case of the gambia, if g m is still being forced on, on young goals. so clearly the bands are not enough on their own. what will it take to put an end to s t m? you are correct, and the evidence also supports this effect. the laws are in effect without a community of buying and acceptance. dfcs 6 studies have shown that atm treatment of the criminalization or very galaxies around in may rise. um if gm under crowns, but it's empty and present is it in it says the height of jim prevalence and

it reflects a deeply social, a deep social norm that is supported by many members of the communities which make it very difficult for the communities to report on their payments. so you know, their mother's their father, there isn't and there are no source of protection systems to, to, to take them in. so it's quite challenging to use the lows as the only way to and is gm and, and it's, it's really the community buying at to the, those that drives to en, seats yet, and dust off. maybe you talk about this community by and one obviously has to approach this issue with, with sensitivity, given the fact that it's, it's worth it, an introduction and religion as you're implying. so what are some of the nuances that, that people need to understand when you engage in communities trying to get that

bite and to be able to stop, to this practice better so home full, so young goals. yes, i mean, we have been working. yeah. some governments, lucy, the societies through i see this really just leaders to have dialogues with the parents of what we've really just leaders and, and evolving other players like health workers. heritage occasions using media like what you're using today and social marketing to challenge the norms and the attitudes but this, oh, it should be done. and you know, no one's respect for a culturally sensitive approach. having at the center of each of the people themselves, leading these initiatives and championing each and these efforts are not one or at home bases, they have to be continuous engagement with the community on

a long term basis. stops us out estimate. we appreciate your time. thank you very much to kind of really now with local fishes came, they are being pushed out of business by giant, industrial troll is who are illegally fishing in their watches. they say they face attacks without etc. and officials are ignoring their plight. no chinese vessels are reported to be at the heart of the problem with allegations that these boats don't find a local regulations and are often lift to fish and checked. the speed of these plays a on reports now from limby on the coast in southwest camera. what do you see that it's an i can, has been all sufficient since the middle of the night, but he's net is to empty up to 7 us. i'd see i choosing the official man in the

region. see the cartridge. i get is smaller and smaller for why so you want to see it's very difficult to catch even a single fish nowadays. just look at the boat. it's empty. really? it doesn't not the, there's nothing here for us. just look at all i've had for today. it's very little and it will hardly fetch me any money. no, but i'm on these local fish, a man struggling us for in vessels i flooded the ocean. this is unhealthy competition on the way just of coverage shows. oh, not a just the chinese, the chinese vessels and other vessels that have come around here fishing massively, including for prawns. they fish constantly without stopping to allow the fish to reproduce. back on the see show, people rushed to buy the car. i bought the car,

but most of the boots have come back almost and the little bit has just returned from the ocean. is beneficial month for 25 years. the recently business has been slower than ever. he believes already believed that fee should, for the decline. that so i'm not done with the government tells us which sorts of nets to use this fishing decision. but the forward is don't follow the guidelines and use that. they use the romance which kills even the smallest fish where the mx and that affects the reproduction efficient the ocean. if we complains about this to the government, but the government doesn't take proper action for down the middle. when he complained the phone is going to meet the authorities and had the money. our complaints, very flexible side on those. the problems with dealing with last year. the europeans, you know, commission on imported bond on impulse. so please do products calling coming with us all by vessels to eustace sites. in the contest,

lack of cooperation in the fight against illegal or reported no related fiction. you don't see much too much has changed. color loses more than $30000000.00. i'm only familiar go more efficient. the continued pulse around a $160000000.00 worth of fish. each year. many peach tree does before been put out of business discussion of fish. chinese tools continue deficient areas is up a small scale fisherman. these results and conflict all the time, nothing to the drum when it happens all the time when the chinese c u, n. c. and they want to seize your net and other equipment and you decide to confront them. the army protecting them shows up with guns. the soldiers will start shooting at you. i would say you've just got to get away from them as quickly as possible because of a fisherman is killed. no one will be held accountable. it's

a loss for the fisherman's family. some attacks and see are very common and if you speak about it to the authorities, nothing happens to the chinese act as a fate own cameron's water is only the bike and they will see the most, you know, government official instructor features in this region denies all the claims made by the fisherman. he says, so i says enough, he says i'm for him. what's happening? phone in violation of government resolutions. it's going for is been going up all levels in order to come back this i you you vision? yes. color one is under the zone, the drug drug i can, we are fighting the new from the red zone, maybe to the, you know, what? not the, the, the reason. because presently as we speak there's going to in the see. as i told her that we do support the civilian,

we don't let them know when we are entering. they see it's him is back from the ocean, but with not enough fish. like older i just one of the shipment in the region. it doesn't have much hope for the foreseeable future. it thinks the like vase for millions of internet users across africa, i tools like check g, p t o. even google translates awesome to use this because they don't support their local language, but they're all solutions out there. and there are among the topics we're discuss that this is global media for him, posted by dw, in the german city, a fun. it's an event which unless then content creation is from around the world come together to talk about issues from censorship and democracy to media, trends and challenges as well. i should take, i had to was a speaker at the cs global media for him. he is the co founder of

a bell and face starts up. that is developing machine translation products for if you pin language is welcome to d. w. use africa estimate i. so you to pods in a conversation about in a policy within a 2 official intelligence. the premise was that rich countries are enjoying most of the benefits of the technology. well, developing countries face challenges. why is that? so yeah, that's a great question. so if we look at the range of applications that day, i just touching on this days is pretty much everywhere. the one that excites me the most is the internet in particular, or the web. and if you look at search engine games or social media sites, they're increasingly powered by the system. so we may not notice it. but when we type in keywords, we are looking for information. there's a little, hey i, this is doing, you know, various tasks in the background. um and unfortunately,

and as you described it well in, in the question. it's a handful of languages that gets served by this technology these days. the languages that happened to be from, you know, developing countries such as the language in africa are usually underserved. and the reason is because of the companies behind, you know, these, the technologies are a handful of multinational corporations that are based out of silicon valley. and so for them, they're not priorities. and so these languages and the, you know, the ada supports them gets left behind and display it so. so we're seeing the sort of language bias which, which you, in a sense all trying to reverse with the sauce up that you've co founded. you're working with artificial intelligence at tell us about the aim of, of the product that you're developing and who. yeah, exactly. you're targeting as, as the market. absolutely. so we are listening. yeah. i and the son

we've built the most advancing machine transmission systems for language, starting with my native language. if the green a and i'm heart and we're soon adding more languages and our mission has been to make the web accessible for millions of people in their lives. in their native language, the amys really, you know, as i said, the internet types, you know, a multitude of our, our lives. and by creating machine translation and other related technologies, we hope to make the web accessible for people who wouldn't have wouldn't enjoy the benefits of the web otherwise. right. i know you particularly in with y'all's, sort of working in the educational space. could you speak a little bit more about the, the possibilities that a i office us particularly as it pertains to the education space? absolutely. i might say education was so close to hard when i got started was a son. and if i make sure like a small personal incident or story,

as soon as we develop our, our machine translation system. so english figuring out was really listen was the 1st and the world 3. and the 1st organization we reached out to was we can the, because we treat it, contains the world's information as they put in their timeline. and unfortunately, they didn't kind of like one to collaborate with. listen. so we didn't have like a tight integration of our system. we could. yeah. but uh, i think this is an exciting area where we would like to support content creators in education to be supported with a tool such as translation and automatic speech recognition. well that's, that's an incredible story and it's been really good talking to you as mulash. that's as little as stick. i had good talking to us the we appreciate your time. thank you so much for having me. the. the

next story is in san a go with people, a pay a fortune to get their hands on a special breed of giants. she. they can weigh as much as 2 grown men and all prized for their imposing heights and giant horns. no breed is take special care to keep the prestigious rocks in tip top shape, but that's not because they are being sold for flows. have very few incentive goal can afford one of these price based, celebrated for the luxury. a smooth white codes and symmetrical horns. the team, she pa, the ultimate symbol of social prestige in the country with somewhat as much as a luxury because it makes it obvious that it's an excellent business and the passion, as i always say when you're stressed because of work because of whatever. when you come here and see the shape, you will come from a young age. but i got,

the aga knew that he wanted to breed these marvelous creatures. he and his assistants massage the sheep for hours each day. which state claim helps them grow, some of whom have a proud pedigree. if you didn't have an excellent family bath, his father was made competently who was a well known champion in the breeding well to go take with his mother as you see and stuff. are she still alive? yes, a big jump in. and her father was cool. major. a grandfather was boston in on the 1st sheet to reach a high to woman, would see me to get to the phone, but submit from nearby miss stuff. a sec takes care of his family sheet to give some benjamins to help keep the flock in top condition. these happy to show off his champion, she named after the country's new prime minister. when he was born, it was the moment when we had lost a pipe and that was because of us, man, some kind of a home. and we saw that it was a tree patriots, a water, you know,

one who is strong. this way sancho does. she was born, but they didn't get the style sheet, but helping to make cynical famous simmons breeders and they are now so popular here that there are beauty pageants full of them on tv, with big cash prizes. and that's it for today's program. be sure to check out our other stories on dw com. forward slash africa. we're also on social media now. the 2022 hits, long calm down by river, just keeps breaking rig quotes. it's now become the 1st effort beat song to get over a 1000000000 streams in the united states. we'll see you next time by a jody, so by the

very easy prey and the causative commodity. exhausted by supplies, the most beautiful and red traded worldwide, often illegally. the consequence, many times are endangered. conservationists are trying to save what they can inside fix those 6 by 6 nitrate. in 15 minutes and d, w comes 6 loan with tim sebastian,

fuel countries of what's the war and ukraine more closely than poland, which was the time. and again, the poor thing would much be on his board is no one listening. my guess is we can more so congested some of this stuff have them both know that over to you for mornings because the government have to use the same conflict. then in 90 minutes on d w. the only way i can be on the top is to create my own empire, discover stories that just to take away the journey, the destination right? size. house based document trees before

the slide. now. okay. name, treat thing and do the same way you expect and more different things from life than your parents do. i just want to pursue what that's nice on the side or you think your kid is 2 different, risky, irresponsible, reasonable stopping port is not i want my son to the doctor, joe, in the clubs. it's time to get from your generation with a sleep asked and then when generations to mash got the watch now on youtube and the w. w mentioned this kind of fun. it feels like therapy. the
