black. see the light from previous even before they're born. we speak to the mothers and the children, but there are alternatives to alcohol over mastic flavor, so adult friendly drink sucker punched on the pallets without the brain and you'll pounds and you had the morning after that and he repeating about you in the, in the long term the i need of the money and i, roby. welcome to a special edition of data being used africa on ask because on alcohol, that starts with the good news. a recent report from the world health organization sounds like most african don't drink alcohol at school. and never have done. take a look of session from alcohol can either be lifelong, see, i mean green or for my drink because shown in yellow, you can see more of a 70 plus sense of applicants have never drunk, also hold for

a former drink. those who have so how does that compare with the mainly mostly is sudden mediterranean obsession that is above 95 percent. and what about euro? it's almost opposite to africa, nearly 2 sides of european savings. 3 call cool. let's saying with that 3 way comparison, let's look at how much alcohol it's drinker actually consumes on average. and here you can see a very different picture dislike having a drink because also can drink because confused about 33 grams per day. just for the sake of comparison, that's about 2 and a half of glasses of wine every day. whatever they're drinking adults and goes loose. the majority countries and most in africa and the middle east could seem about 16 grams of pure alcohol per day. european drink coast consume twice as much about 32 grams every day. let's drill down into the data from the continent. darkest green is countries where people consume the most, the lightest,

the least. what's another way, though, relatively few african adults drink. those who do drink a lot. so is this such a thing a safe drinking? the w h o says clearly there is no safe level for alcohol consumption. very visa in every drop. so what's nice like for those heavy drink, because i decided to return to my mother's whole village, where also whole has become a good on the one lively market. has no one over supply or just one thing to of the, you know, sleepy village and central kenya. crown jumble ro begins. he's d willing to the afternoon. despite the appointment to interview, he made days before hand. he's forgotten. memory blackouts are regular for the 32 year old. the father of 2 has been drinking since he was 15 and he hasn't stopped since. how do we go to these days? i mostly sit around doing nothing and drink out of desperation and i have nothing

to look forward to in my life. and just when i wake up, i wish i could get money to go to the boss. first thing in the morning, could i do? i spend a whole day that drinking the name and the, the coke. i'd be getting border. it depends on, on jobs and his motorcycle business for income. when a good day, he could make nearly 3 years. but she spends 2 years a day on alcohol. he tells me that he feels most like himself when he drinks, his heavy test pushed his family away, leaving him alone and miserable. you know that that may be seed as my wife left me when i was still young. i blame myself. i have uncontrollable thoughts and often when i drink it, because i feel stress, my wife left it because we're always arguing and also because of the alcohol, which meant i couldn't provide the life we deserved and, but it was friend tells me that many drinkers in the community share the same sense of helplessness, not going good. yeah. usually it's out of desperation and too much stress going on

. then there's a poverty here. yeah. which adds to the stress mean it's a non wanting every 8 can strings, but the national body, competing against alcohol abuse reports, the 42 percent of those drink cars are addicted and which so many young men struggling to stay. so being the village, the economy here has been strangled. this community is quite is also meant to double up as an economic hub for this village i see meant to because my mother actually grew up in this village. in fact, i a special vein yellow now converted to a by use to be my grandfather's shop. next to it was another shop. now about next to it also used to be another shop. so above in total we've come to the $26.00 palms here. and the women in this village, we see that they're trying to change this gene co rhonda spots of a help group which provides support for recovering alcoholics. the group is raising money to start businesses for, for my adults like her sister, milka uga has been suitable for less than a year following

a 16 year battle with alcohol. it's a delegate process for the 2 sisters as a tried to rebuild their relationship to get the death of good. we can't keep reminding her of her drunk days. no, that's not good. and it would take her back. what does less now is for her to move forward? well, we can do is give her the more i'll keep going. the other you not bid. it's 5 pm on the most popular by here is nearly full. for $0.98, customers get 2 glasses of b a which they spike with much stronger spirits. these little to no regulation of alcohol here and drink is telling me, then not sure what's in this periods where his friends have arrived, but he's working on a nearby job. they've saved a spot for him because they assure he will join them later from on this right now joined by on martha who is a recovering alcoholic. 20 is uninterrupted, she tells me and she is also a passion,

is competing against alcohol abuse and drug addiction. here in center, thank you for joining us on. so coming out of that support, the 1st question one might ask you, why does the people who choose to drink and kind of drink to such an extent? when is availability, alcohol is readily available anywhere in the type and then uh, accessibility, you can easily accessed it. so you said no, the community has accepted, the printing is cool. so i've read, i believe the accessibility and not accept the ability, but they're not doing. can you hold the apartment longer, ask how come you're done doing and went down to once you have to explain yourself as to why you don't think so. it's a sort of a culture, it's accepted and signing up, left, one with a drinking problem. a drug problem is not a big deal. it's not that big deal anymore. and so what are some of the challenges that you face when it comes to regulation of production, manufacturing and even consumption of alcohol?

so one of us, yeah, actually withdrawal cash flows, the licenses of nearly all of them and they have to be visit the 1st. so some of them have been close, the have not been licensed, some have been licensed. now the biggest challenge with this before, especially when i'm making secondary showing up on the things is that they have the means. but what does that mean for 30 is license, then they have a sub truck 30, some waiting, the village when they come to the come mix, all the questions. but the level is, is what is actually the legal drinking is obviously not new to kenya is in fact culturally, we have very many names for different rules and there's different ways of preparing them. so why is this phenomenal or addiction new to this contemporary society? we have too many addictive substances, some of them synthetic and we don't, we no longer have the most up to use to have this on the bruce. one told, you know, the concept by the address of the class, set it up,

not anybody put the risk up in drink. and then they have the a way of disappointing those people who have been drinking problem. and actually people see i've even been seen by, i know that when the truck but then this, this is like the called to have shifted that of a call to control the values and morals have sheets, except the people upside ignoring what used to be. we've been told them too much about nice so and then there's that, but my vision comes with new things. and these things, i highly addictive. a highly, highly addictive your now 20 years. so, but congratulations as of recovering addicts. can you tell me what some of the challenges well, on your journey are some of the things that perhaps might painting when you look at some of the people who are grappling with addiction, lack of support by family members. what do you have in that mix up and when you're in recovery and they have one of the latest interview, just say that you don't want to keep undermining this woman who actually is coming from. so some family members a week to the mind,

the possible noah used to still have a phones not forgetting that this special needs support to remain football when he feels is ready to talk about his class. he will talk about this thing the, the plus part of the what the to be actually hijacked by alcohol is a break. and then after sometime when the thought about was app, you'll keep on progressing from one stage to another. and then it gets to a time where the alcohol mix usually some for you that we said was i supposed to be . i'd like to have to bring in the morning to simple life. and actually many, many, many people die from alcohol because drugs. yes. a lot of sigma, a lot of walk, the su needs to be done on my so thank you so much for joining us. so we kind of ready to see how alcohol is destroying lines. and that's even clearer if you look at the number of debt attributed to drink. europe and africa have the highest number of alcohol death in the world. africa loses 52. compared with the

median wisdom, countries with alcohol consumption is noah. that is caused by drink. i'll find just 9. well, 100000. in europe, there are 53 this 100000 drink of. but some lives a blank to buy booze even before they begin. alcohol is a potent poison, especially for the developing fee to us in a mother's womb. a condition called fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, or s a s d. so that's because wine industry is centered on western cape and it's no coin to the program has the highest rates of the alcohol disorder in the entire world's dianne hall. kind of reports from cape town to linux fund ross. he's expecting for much, she already knows a new baby's life will be difficult so i may have her do not know she has no regular work and her husband doesn't make much money. they already have 4 children to feed. and now this is on the way to nothing. i really hurting inside. i didn't

want this baby in the, in the that make me feel like i should drink every day. i'm a friend used to come with a little bit of money and we would rush to buy box wine so that we could drink the whole day. it was very difficult to keep the baby she lives in a neighborhood with more than 20 unlicensed because outlets people can be seen drinking from the early morning in these makes shift 'cause, gangs, and drugs or rampage. areas like rid of all in wooster, have high levels of unemployment, high levels of poverty and hopelessness. this cocktail of negative circumstances drive many people here to drink heavily. and some others simply don't know the impact this has on the unborn children. fund ross only realize the long term damage of the actions when she joined is facts program. she is one of

a dozen women currently being canceled against drinking. i like well pregnant and breast feeding to it a lot that we have to teach them that it's just for a short period of time for the cool thing. but in that short time for your endangering your child's brain. and you can get a lot. they have to see the danger, i guess what, i mean, a father, how about the foundation for alcohol related research says the is a national problem. every way we've gone, we've seen the high prevalence of fee to apple spectrum disorder in the communities we work. and unfortunately, it's strongly linked to low associated nomic state. this poverty plays a massive role in all of the aspects of all of the characteristics of mothers of children with a phase the a lot of it can be traced back to associated nomic status. taishan lawrence was adopted and experienced alcohol withdrawal symptoms as a baby. as an adult. she's living with severe learning difficulties.

tisha can perform simple tasks like the ball coding. look, she does it in local factory. she's happy to have found a loving work environment. salem that to you my family because they have a nice place. i wouldn't say then awesome because they range from one to she was. adoptive mother sees the impacts of a lifelong for children. born with a d. yes, she went to a special needs school and their main focus was on good manners is said, you know, if you've got good mountainous and you can get through life easier, she cannot read or write. she recognizes different symbols and she can pick out the brands that we always have. we would stick to just about the same brand activists say education about the condition needs to be more wide street targeting

not only mothers, but the communities they live in to that's across to cape town, south africa, where we're going to buy. did i make a dentrix, who's the secretary general of the south and african alcohol policy alliance? thank you for joining us. now. fetal alcohol syndrome, as it just seemed there is a serious concern, and awareness about it is crucial. are there any initiatives that your organization is, has implemented to protect, to bundle go vulnerable groups, particularly pregnant women? well, um, as sop law uh, we've chosen to focus on the, the best buys of the world health organization. which is basically looking at seducing availability, increasing the price of alcohol, and to speak to banning um, alcohol. marketing in particular for as marketing was young people who have cancer . and that includes young women that we have on the continent and sylvester,

we halls. uh, i'm just 40 percent of young people that is consuming alcohol. and the apple industry sees this as a, a, a target market that they should be concrete. and they full the issues on looking at an issue based on dimensions. we, we look at banding, alcohol. marketing becomes important because the evidence shows that children and young people um, through exposure to marketing a 8, they are valuable to start experimenting early and come see what i'll call you. and he wants to, to meet needs to binge drinking, which is a major problem in south africa. right. so either way, you're talking about the contemporary marketing trends, but south africa has a very complex history with alcohol. how have you seen these trends evolve on consumption and production and how they affect the south african society as well?

i'm the, as soon as we do have a complex e c, and that comes back from the colonizing era with alcohol reviews, to grab the land from being ditches. people are particularly under the optic laws. alcohol was not allowed to be sold to black people. and that lead to, in the sense marketing, retaining environment we, which leads to what result tradition beings in south africa. and we have kind of meet over 250000 illegal alcohol. often that we are not licensed fremont regulated. and it's also quite accept it because of these historical factors we all call you as well. and so, um, opposing apostage, giving back to the opposite government wants to buy a home. so once we have now is about $250000.00 unlicensed outlets that is

accepted in communities. we, nobody talks about reports boxes and you know, tons of it to the blind on to it don't in full. so those that lives amongst the um, alcohol legal alphabets, and that increases the availability of alcohol, introduce intentional areas, because be sure beans of filed in areas where people love and knocking basis meet in commercial uh, seems commercially again. what are some of the challenges that you're facing, trying to implement some of the policies that you have in place as well. all, all challenge is that we have yet to have a government. the confusion buys into the idea that we should control alcohol, a government categories to seize alcohol as way of bringing people into the eco,

the economy which is problematic. and they, for the way they legal aid, alcohol will have a force, existing laws, ease ease. um, not as it should be. um, i'll challenges also that the whole industry uses nomic muscle to the lobby government to around the notion that they a contribution to the economy that they are creating jobs. the problem with that is, is that, although they all come to reaching about 4 percent towards the gdp, the hall from all call, the government has to put money off for and do the ease between 10 and 12 percent, all gdp so technically. and so actually the tax payers subsidize the profits of the whole industry, but we don't have a government that understands that dynamic and stool of buys into the narrative as

the alcohol industry use june of 18. well thank you very much for explaining that rather complex issue in south africa, jamaica districts who is the secretary general for the south and african alcohol policy alliance. thank you. that specifically is now tonight, jerry away. just because subject like go stands level fair, with some pain may be funding victim to the cost of living crisis. prices have doubled and sales have gone slots. but the bottom li, like most alcohol, is seen as a face as symbol. we asked the w ask because only such a who wants to fix a nice house and they do is pockets out on find out. what's the point of choice the here at lounge windows 7 on the licky express we. it's a typical night out. it's school about cocktails and

a few shots of tequila, but mainly about coffee is sound really cold. so that was my favorite right. is i can hardly love drinking and cold. so bought 10. wilson fancies knows what most of the customers want to switch off. most of income for i call the come file. cool. that's the end of day. you doesn't have to pass the acuity. you gotta be, i think it's something took you to. i like to start very hard, very, very hard. i go with this trend as strong as will be the the, the hospital for the fire didn't go milder was not everyone is a fan of having to go. some people do want to drink responsibly as a septic yourself. yeah, i do. i for was flu. why the school phone do good? so when it was i will stick myself out. i don't do alcohol. alcohol is not really my main thing. when i go out on a friday, i take something like, like what i'm thinking right now is month bill, no alcohol or alcohol is,

is why did it prep for as a major? yeah. what some do because i'm not going to come to like this is called a top by going to nice in lagos. i would this pick red color is quite popular. i've seen as one of my dress favorite drinks. vice. what's even here in lagos, some of a more radical approach extension on the rocks. when it comes to alcohol, i don't. so i just refer you, give me what you states my will be in your mind, not be yours. he doesn't me because i said, i'm not to cannot call you must follow me. i'm only, i've done my own. how can you also outside the old or you know what is good for you on a new one is good for me. right, when i was going to buy again, the buzz that bundle about from drink new, which is a company specializing an alcohol, 3 drinks for adults. i and so thank you for joining us. so the silver curious

movement is definitely gaining traction globally. is this what you're seeing in south africa? thank you so much for having me today. absolutely. in south africa and globally as well, we're seeing the rise of the silver curious. and that is a whole host of reasons. it could be because people wanting to be healthy. yeah. because people don't feel great off the night of drinking. and people are just wanting to be more mindful about what they put in their bodies. right. so i know you're talking about the health limits here, but there's also a kind of stigma one might say associated with not drinking particularly a tiny event where everybody else is what is drinking you doing to sort of change this perception. and i think that's a great question. and when i really sat down and thought about this as a black women and corporate were always continued increase of a t rex in south africa, we need to increase the how include women, how them treat people of color. but a place where i feel inclusivity lacking is when it comes to people that choose to

not consume alcohol and stigmatization, it goes across different aspects and elements. and so what we're doing is we're challenging people corporate at their work functions and festivals, and using festivals and jazz festival. how are you, beatrice of to your patients? i choose to not consume. all right, so when we are printing and what we're pushing for isn't cosivity so that those veterans to not going to way to for health reasons, religious reasons are just because they don't like the tape. also included in the phone. we're trying to move away from the society that is all about alcohol. and we're say, the money isn't over just because the truth to not consume how the party has just begun. all right, so i end up finding the do you see a continental of africa or a country like south africa being completely alcohol free when it comes to potties and maybe some of these traditional rites of passage it is what i'm say is no,

i don't. but what i'm saying is that these things can co exist just before covered in 2019 cape town had a silver festival. and that 1st of all was only 4 people that choose to not consume alcohol. and they, there was music that was stalls, they were different types of nano colored things. and that says to me that the market is there and it's completely understaffed and underserved and undervalued. so what we're saying is the 2 can co exist. so when we hardly put the jazz festival and we will have department of choice for 9 oclock beverages, that's exactly what we're saying. that patients can still enjoy the jazz festival and having a 100 beverages as well as a 100 beverages. so i think that you can co exist. i and i'm from bad from south africa, drink. neil, thank you for joining us. thank you so much for having me. and that's

always prepared for you on this special edition of dw news, half because he just came on you from the entire team here. you know, ruby and reading would say thank you for watching the

rise to our society is full of contrasts and inequality is a big challenge. many problems can only be solved by working together. yes, i think i pretend isn't misleading. what is home? how do we tackle the major issues about time? let's assume that there is a significant risk of human extinction from advancing our systems. it changes the new frontier, so from our series continues on september 1st, on the w. the

business thing that we can use, like from our less being un urges israel to halts, large scale ratings in the occupied westbank when you came to closing. so i would say it's a 10 y, it's here. we cannot go further at this point. we hear from our correspondence on the ground as israel claims its forces killed and as long as you have commander in a shoot out an amount. also coming up a tough response to the zoning a knife attack, the german government announces new security and asylum measures. after last week's deadly stabbing link to the so called comic stake.
