infertility will prevail and there's the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera after tuesday's the stream next. so. welcome to the stream in today's africa news special we look at botswana's decision to once again allow the hunting of elephants then would discuss what the detention of 2 prominent locust says about freedom of expression it will attain your authentic age and i'm really good and your thoughts on those stories via twitter and you tube but 1st a symbolic way where millions of people are living with the daily disruption of power cuts the country's state run utility recently imposed hours long blackouts after a drought left a hydroelectric plant short of water when nearby dam the cuts have had

a major impact on zimbabweans already struggling to meet the rising cost of petrol and diesel. i mean what is important is your case i don't get it i don't know i keep a fuel jerry can here because anytime the power goes i have to close the shop and go to the patch will station to buy diesel for the generator so that i can keep the business running diesel is also expensive and not readily available which is another challenge i only powered up the generator at night so that the fridge is a cold enough to stall that's the situation in this country almost thinks what is driving us to discuss the. way and marshal gore is chairman of the u.k. branch of zimbabwe's ruling party is that he joins us from london welcome both so let's get started with our community because they have a lot to say about this i want to start with this tweet this is from someone who says putting it very clearly here and magine living in

a situation where half to 3 fourths of your salary goes towards transportation that is our reality now and so for a little deeper taste on that reality we got a video comment from a student he's a master student and he talks about what life is like for him now have a listen. to these are competing for the. talent to teach which is a fusion obviously. this is. the course of transport business. this is easy to transport is most probably. forcing people to. the government is so to me. let's go straight to the chairman without walking 20 to 30 kilometers no

electricity marshall what would you say to these 2 gentlemen who shared their experiences. well 1st of all want to say the park. regrettable and unfortunate to circumstances beyond everyone's control we've recently had a drought and on top of that again we have. but i think the president and the government is taking this very seriously this is led to some changes within the seat of the energy minister we have now a new energy minister going to fortune just it was now looking at all of these matters in detail to see how best government can tackle the situation in make and make normally to retain without any further delays it's unfortunate that we are going through this situation we have gone but what i want the message i carry to the cities it is that we are going through massive reform of our economy and in the middle of this we have done fortunate drought in the cycle so i just want to say to

the citizens we need to also be patient and bear with our government as they try frantically to resolve these challenges they are unfortunate regrettable but they will be resolved. tendai tell us about the reality down on the ground nationally as in the u.k. right now officer he's very involved in piaffe winning. government in zimbabwe but in terms of what people are experiencing we're seeing one traumatic picture of video something with no power but it's not. yes it is a situation that we're seeing across the country even in been central parts of the city you know you would find that there are blackouts even during the day you know for a couple of hours it affects the restaurants that have faith offices where people do work faith health centers as well you know i think the situation in the country is quite critical and you know the problem is that you know the government is

trying to reform the economic situation it's something that people are asking a lot of questions about it because they're not being the turnaround that they were promised when the country how the elections last year in july. so there is a sentiment here from prosper and twitter who says that the citizens are justified for their frustrations at this economic malaise but the government is also right in implementing economic policies with short term pain but long term gain what is right it's not always popular and what is popular is not always right so marshall what is the long term gain here. i think the long term gain is that the economy is on the mend we've just had what i would call it with transition subluxation program being implemented. huge changes within our economy you know and we have already started to see some games with fiscal consolidation that is up and we've already started to see the government deficit being reduced with website to see government operating with more economic responsibility there's more accountability in terms of

fiscal accountability we now have new law. which is obviously helped in some way to stop the lies domestic trade but by and large we need more production we need more foreign currency while he ate all these short it is that we have it's not it's not it's not an event but it's it's what is required and we have to work towards that everyone has to work towards that we need productivity we need a new and stopwatch in how we look at things we need to be more responsible with the few resources that we have we have to focus more on infrastructure development projects so that we can raise the dead the economy so yes it's a period of pain but i envisage this being a short term the longer term is bright. as a period of paying for it as described the last year how did that sort of how do you see that of the chronicle taking over porting we obviously have power cuts

right now but what else 1st the pain like how could you describe that. what we've seen is. there also shortages of certain basic commodity is the price of bread has fluctuated all the past few months even though the government has promised that it would try and keep the prices of certain goods down but you know we actually haven't seen that on the ground if you will shortages that we can experience saying it's been an ongoing. things since last year despite the fact that the price of fuel has gone up the need to still be and they are still shortages and also the country still facing the same problems with the. physical flow of cash you know just simply being able to find cash in the banks people are still lining up pensioners still laying on the 13th and 14th will be every month you know you see long queues outside the banks of people waiting to get

their money so this is the persistent situation and you know the question is when does the pain end and community here on you tube gives us a little perspective on that question of where is the pain and he writes in live this situation has been building up for over 2 decades the president needs to act and act decisively but we know that the results won't be overnight so that's one person who has limited patience another person maybe not so much just on twitter saying as we face where power cuts our rulers are losing their power to lie and intimidate us they can't provide basic things like power water or transportation as we like candles in the dark so is their power like a candle fighting against the strong winds of change tendai do you see this turning into mass anger from the people that you're talking to. unfortunately there is a lot of resentment and there is a lot of anger and frustration so even though people are told by the government to

be patient and to try and hold on and to wait i think the worse that things get and you know the less that people see in their pockets you know people start to get very impatient and the danger of that impatience is that it becomes you know. a dangerous kind of anger you know which could lead to other things but fortunately for now we are not you know people are discontent and you know they are still willing to hold on and you know hope for the best for you know for their families but you know it's a tough situation. marshall final word in these last few seconds how would you respond to that. where the final way to start we have to work together as a country we have to come together and call for solutions to the economic problems that we have we're going through a challenging situation but my view is that this is not going to last it will soon be over the inflation will go down probably by the end of the year the economy will stabilize yes we have come out of i.c.t.

you will just have to brace and continue taking medication but i think very soon maybe soon it will turn out on we turn around the corner we need to be patient as a country we need to work together problems we have been there for the last 90 surely the government has been only in power for less than 8 months so it would have been a haitian would have seen. these things to go on with more in 8 months thank you so much for that i hear your point patience as he thank you to marshall and to tendai for their thoughts on zimbabwe. now we move to plus one where elephant hunting has risen for the 1st time in 5 years after the government decided to end a ban on the practice the government of president to move with the mistakes he says at the go hunting will safeguard rural communities that often face herds of elephants but conservationists say allowing hunting or herd afeard to provide a refuge for the animals but swan is home to at least 130000 african elephants but the species remains vulnerable according to the world wildlife fund for more on this we are joined from nairobi by porter koch who she is c.e.o.

of wildlife direct that's a conservation organization erik for a night is a wildlife veterinarian he joins us from botswana's capital governor good to have you here both i have to show our audience this this is a media invitation have a look here my laptop the date is the 22nd of may 2019 and a surprising announcement later invitation a press conference lifting off the hunting suspension in botswana what's want to got so many compliments around the world for actually implementing a hunting bad eric what happened. well just part of the challenge that we hear the world complement. about this is. what we didn't take in consideration the fact that the screen was on the wall kokomo communities and then it was basically done either way without consultation. and it lived up to communities taking away the only power they had because it was part of the bigger

policy of civilization of wildlife resources to promote the photographic safari industry and incidentally woods one necessary to even call work for elephants which uses the blocking strategy but in the end this is the communities were left out we had influx of ellison's in here is where they usually didn't. and we ended up with a situation that we have created to save enough $160000.00 elephants in areas where they share with farmers where there is no quota graphic tourism income and it is no such a strange ability to and we received we got to this stage we more than 90 percent of people consulted during the social dialogue report to decides on the way that to look the hunting suspension or not we're actually in favor of lifting the hunting suspension but not only that is they were actually in favor of culling. well here is one such person who is in favor of lifting that suspension this is to be who

just tweeted and as someone living in botswana elephants have become a threat to human life this year alone more than 50 people have been killed by elephants there is a crisis of overpopulation and elephants and this is due to good management that my country is well known for and while we can't verify that number that he gives us paulo what do you make of the concerns of residents who say we need this ban to be lifted. personally i think it's heartbreaking that people of the swan i think that this is a good idea i come from a country which also has challenges of elephants and human other than conflict but it's never been something that the communities are turned around and said well let's shoot elephants let's let rich people come to our country and shoot these elephants in order to save them that doesn't really make much sense at all in fact what quanah like kenya has an enormous amount of income from tourism i mean kenya the tourism money is what is used to support those communities so i find it hard to

believe that if the hunting previously only generated a tiny proportion less than one percent of the money back to those communities then i don't see why there's going to be any difference in opening up hunting now and the tourism dollars that are coming into the country why aren't they helping those very same communities of drool elephants are a major attraction of visitors to botswana i don't think counting is going to stop the movement of elephants moving south this is happening for ecological reasons it's not happening because there's no one seems so i think about probably needs to get very creative there are very many other options to deal with elephants especially when they're moving into areas where there are people we use fences there are clever and innovative ways of keeping elephants out to people's farms and i mean we don't have to kill these animals i think that hunting is a very it's a very barbaric practice and we've seen this all over the world people are reacting and but from a conflict can there isn't

a global heartbreak at this decision erica had. well yet the problem is the the funding that we're talking about the growing in the photographic industry didn't reach these communities well the hunting ban was a lot hunting to why not the communities actually 000-000-0000 extension 00 or the us are the previous administration but the point peace that we have an idea we are going to marry we we have a huge area with i mean it is the is no tourism income we all lease co-existing i was because we have a number of organizations that are doing this to any job in trying to promote coexistence between wildlife and elephants and and the problem is when we simply fighting against numbers that is where it come in it's very easy to say they are a number of other issues but we have tried to i mean as we have tried a number of things and i think it's very important to realize that the elephants are not the obvious is the hunting is not supposed to be

a population control but the elephants are the 2 like photographic safari industry sustainability tools to conservation to restore the face of the communities in a system that that they were taken out of it's all over the will we have seen now is that the movement to involve communities is very important and the same time is where you are asked a question that is why not as i can say is that why is it that a 90 percent of more than 90 percent of the people of what's one that decided against it i mean is against the hunting so so i think the important thing is not to sing in place you. but i think that one of the challenges we face is that you have opens which are moving into areas where there are communities there is a certain number of people who are being injured some problems that have been raided by elephant but are unlikely to be the elephants that will be hunted so what we're going to see is rich people coming to the twana and the people who are going to make the money the big dollars are not going to be made by those communities

that's a fact. oh look i'm going to going to be kill our. intelligent thinking caring animals that live in families like human beings nobody would dream of opening up hunting of chimpanzees gorillas whales or dolphins other scented animals that are very much like humans it's just unthinkable but this is something out of the modern day paula and erica hill i want to go home just for a moment because i want to bring in our viewers and others online because this is a hot topic online so this is a tweet from go for and this is circulating on line he pulls out a quote from someone who talks about this issue in another article he says we simply cannot allow another mass extinction on our watch what's what i was a haven any sustained that way and his comment on that is those people refer to as the we are welcome to come and take pictures of an elephant killing their child or relative and still promote elephants over population so that's one side of the

argument and then the other side we got a comment on video this is audrey and she talks about what conservationists think about this. what's wanted to distance infants hunching and has seen shock when struck to conservation world we're losing 35000 to coaching. elections are going to find a sea change beings that have lashed long bonds and the. hunting is not only morally questionable but. in the face of each national issue it's to protect these giants and undermines considerable. illegal trade in our points. so you hear that take right there unfortunate that's all the time we have for now but i know this is a hot topic that we will continue to follow this issue or thanks to eric and paula for being part of this conversation. finally we move to mauritania way to block us have been detained for more than 2 months after writing facebook posts electing corruption among government officials including the country's president under him

and with that they and shake only did though are being held on charges of malicious accusation amnesty international and human rights watch are calling for their immediate and unconditional release them and facebook post cover property scam that defrauded thousands of mauritanians and allege that president mohamed these a stood to benefit from it press freedom watchdog reporters without borders sent this video comment their detention clearly bears a political signature it also sends a very chilling message among the jungles in the community just a few weeks ahead of the presidential election and for a report is weasel borders it also highlights defects that press freedom is significantly decreasing in mar a tiny country is almost 46 places enormous of stress freedom index things 2016 it's one of the biggest faults organisation has reduced to in

recent years joining us from cincinnati to discuss this inside you wayne he is a human rights activist and blogger for about mauritania website citing thank you for joining us i'm just looking at the campaign the release campaign the amnesty international is awaiting right now the 2 bloggers but the headline mauritania bloggers languish in detention 2 months after their arrest for condemning corruption how dangerous is it to do what they did to actually talk about corruption to block did they know that they might be incarcerated after doing that . thank you for having me it is indeed a dangerous. operation that these 2 journalists engage in the government of mauritania as we all know has has no qualms about committing criminality to protect itself to tighten its grip on on the power and these 2 have been in the

opposite opposition in the past they have been this gate of journalism and these these arrests signal that the merton in government is avoided by the upcoming elections which are high stakes just imagine exposing here by the corruption and criminality in the highest spirits of government being exposed right before the elections that could have an impact on what's going on what's coming up soon there's a there we got this tweet from seemed and he says i'm against their detention and i asked the president to release them on the eve holiday that's coming up i think though they should not made public by sharing we don't want our country to be a chaotic country where you can publish whatever you want we want responsible freedom what did they do and why are there people online who say it's fake news quote unquote. this issue goes to the core of one of the fundamental to much democracy that the more than in that moment in

doesn't have which is freedom of expression these 2 individuals were investigating corruption. allegedly from the general busies the president himself and they should not be just arrested. it is in this manner without due process. i see what's wrong and some who still with us. yes yes i'm sorry i had in that yep it's please continue i'm just wondering about who is paying attention to these because the tension. inside more time al people aware of it. saying that this is not a good for him or it's hanger is anyone paying attention yes in mauritania the public opinion is paying attention but as with many other issues there is a difference if there is difficulty in exposing this in the in on the international

scene so in mauritania right now in there it on facebook and all other platforms people are sharing in trying to get the story out but it's it's they're reaching many news outlets. yours is an exception so say do we got a comment from nasir without the pretty prolific online in the west and he's the brother of the man here's what he told the stream. free speech is under threat in mauritania because of my brother is the best proof that states of affairs all of them are to government claims that the country has one look why this space is for expression in the arab world in fact. that is not the case ultimately my brother said you can joe in a blatant case of violation of rights as he worked tirelessly on exposing in the public interest one of the country's biggest financial scandals in history. and.

the reality is that the mauritanian government for all of the ready talk about free speech does not tolerate it because. ultimately free speech has become costly to the regimes image. so in a sentence what do you want the world to know. this case is not isolated they skate fits in patter which is that the mauritanian government and engages in violating freedom of expression freedom of assembly just just recently. a few months ago a group of we doze in all reference from. ethnic cleansing 30 years ago were trying to leave one attendee of for geneva right. to witness this case

they were thank you for shedding light on an important tolerating appreciate. thanks so much for being here.

subversive used to be able to control the technology but my simone bonzi has built a chip that anyone can use to build anything. like a pizza spearheading a global movement to democratize technology. part of the rebel geek series on to 0 . this is 0. carry this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes we've been pretty clear about trade with iran the items that are sanctioned in their items that are not. in the u.s.

warns european leaders against bypassing it sanctions to conduct trade with iran. u.s. farmers feel the pensions a new round of chinese tariffs on american goods are set to go into effect. sudan's military council calls the protests outside army headquarters a threat to the country and also shuts down al-jazeera bureau in khartoum. on pole race for all your sports where is toronto on the march in the n.b.a. finals the raptors see off the warriors in the opening game a move a step closer to championship history. but the us secretary of state is in berlin trying to ramp up pressure on europeans to support its policy towards iran and its 1st official visit to germany might pompei or chancellor angela merkel discussed the rising tension with tehran germany as party to the 2015 nuclear agreement at the u.s.

or doubt last year european leaders have sent set up a framework for trade with iran to avoid u.s. sanctions looking harmed and. we'll have plenty of issues to discuss today the world is in unrest indeed 1st and foremost is iran how can we make sure that iran doesn't have any nuclear weapons how can we prevent further aggressive actions on the part of iran i mean again joins us live now from berlin so dominic what else did a secular state might have to say. well that the point here let's focus in on the the relationship between germany and washington and and the truth of ministration regarding iran that particular instax program set up to help iran to as it were legally to get around u.s. sanctions imposed after the trumpet ministration decided to withdraw from that 2015 deal it's something that inst in some eyes at least caused the cancellation of the perspire moment at least of compos visit to burn he was supposed to be here several

weeks ago but then cancelled his appointments here well abruptly as i say several weeks ago as if it were to show a degree of dissension from the position that angle americal government had taken it's something that mr pompei referred to at least clearly in his meetings today. we've been pretty clear about trade with iran there are items that are sanctioned in their items that are not those items that are subject to sanctions we will do our best to enforce the american sanctions regime that is put in been put in place but for those that are for humanitarian goods things that are permitted to move whether they move through in stacks or through another mechanism those are lawful inappropriate and are permitted to continue under under the sanctions or the sanctions laws that we've put in place so dominic it's clear that the u.s. is trying to get their allies to be basically on the same page when it comes to

iran now it seems that they are doing the same thing when it comes to their issues with while way as well tell us more about. yes it's very interesting richelle that as it were 2 front policy disagreement between the trump of ministration and key european allies mr compost spoke about huawei when he met his counterpart here in berlin i could muster in the social democrat party the foreign minister here and basically said well look countries that want to embed who are way further into their telecommunications networks and that sort of thing need to reconsider otherwise the united states might need to reconsider the amount of data information intelligence that it shares with those e.u. countries and remember it's not just germany he's he's as it were referring to there the united kingdom government certainly was also very keen to get involved with our way to deepen the ties that huawei has in the united kingdom so clearly

a message from pompei or as i say not just to anglo-american not just to the government here in germany but also to european governments that there are key policy differences here which they want to try to to redress to try to rearrange the to resolve as it were the question of course will be how much effect this this these statements from pompei it will have here in germany but also in other european capitals all right i mean again life president or land dominick thank you . within the next hour chinese tariffs on $60000000000.00 worth of us will take effect the battle between washington and beijing is taking a toll on america's midwest and the farmers are struggling as the trade dispute escalates but for now donald trump still draw support from the region john hendren reports some call facts illinois. has the u.s. administration plans ahead in its trade with china american farmers say they're getting crushed between the world's 2 largest economies we grew

a record soybean crop record corn crop and then you take the fact that our largest buyer just disappeared you know we created a huge ending stockpile that is it's going to take years to eat through it not to mention we tripled what we normally carry china's retaliatory tariffs on corn soybeans imported hit their mark american farmers deep in trim country across the midwest are suffering this is private and one of the toughest years that i've experienced in my 40 plus years of farming are bankers i'm starting to get nervous next year is going to be. a tough time and some farmers are not going to get their operating loans they're not going to pay off their operating loans from this year and they're not going to be able to get credit to put a crop out next year for the 2nd straight year president trump signed a bailout for american farmers this time $16000000000.00 worth but that won't bring

back lost markets buyers who've moved on to other sellers their silos are full of surplus crops that oversupply his tank prices for corn and soybeans farm income levels are half what they were 5 years ago across the midwest corn and soybean farmers are filing for bankruptcy in numbers not seen for more than a decade and losing their patients i'd like to see that light at the end of the tunnel and know when things are going to turn around and get better so you your patience is wearing a little thing to a little yeah this year farmers are dealing with high terror. low prices and now his store grains that have left their fields flooded but while china's chair of search striking their intended targets they have not achieved their goal of turning the farmers who are among president trump strongest supporters against the president is it fair to say that farmers still by and large support president trump i think that's fair we believe the president is doing the right thing to live on a farm as an old agrarian saying has it used to be schooled in patience for now

those laboring behind america's plows seem willing to wait a little longer john hendren al-jazeera colfax illinois. mexico's president wants talks with washington after donald trump said hill impose tariffs on mexican goods unless it stops illegal immigration yes president posted this video which appears to show a 1000 migrants trying to cross the border trump says the 5 percent tariff will be enforced from june 10th and will be increased every month until something is done president has lopez operate or spoke a few hours ago and said the tariffs are not the best way to deal with the immigration issue sit by and. i believe this measure will be further analyzed by the united states government i believe that president trump will understand that this is not the way to solve things i think that there will be a correction if not right away at some point because these measures are neither in the interest of mexicans nor united states citizens. glaive to mexico city or polo

is standing by so while there's been dialogue between the u.s. and mexican presidents we just saw that comment there there's also been comments back and forth in social media that sell things happen in 2019 what's being said. the delegate self has been quite minimal rachele we heard those comments of statements from president lopez over the road in the morning press conference this morning there was also that letter that was sent from president lopez over there to president trump shortly after president trump's remarks or threats rather to impose those tariffs on mexico if mexico is unable to stem the flow of central american migrants making their way into the united states but president trump has like i said before the dialogue been minimal president trump's resorting more to twitter it seems he continuing to make threats and allegations toward mexico saying that mexico has taken 30 percent of the of america's auto industry saying that mexico is

not doing enough it's not doing their part to stem the flow of migrants making their way north into the united states what's interesting here as well is that the united states mexico and canada are on the verge of signing a trilateral trade agreements which seems counterintuitive that these threats this threat for a new trade war with mexico would be happening now but it does appear that the united states at least the trumpet ministration is willing is ready seems to want to see that happen richelle so yes as you said that the president has said that new terrorists that he wants are about the flow of illegal immigration and that mexico isn't doing enough is that true. that's certainly the reasoning that the term administration is saying but it's interesting that the president would be saying this given that if you look on mexico's northern and southern borders on the north us mexico border mexico is accepting central american migrants that are waiting for their asylum applications to be processed in the

united states in the past these are individuals that would be waiting in the united states mexico has agreed to this by request of the united states if you look at the southern border mexican officials mexico immigration officials are enforcing u.s. interests there they're departing from their own commitment to providing assistance to central american migrants and enforcing a sort of harsher policy that's cracking down on the so-called caravans so this is even a departure from the new mexican government's own policies all the while we're avoiding the topic of the roots of migration from central america this is something that president from rarely if ever has actually talked about which is why people are leaving the northern triangle of central american countries like honduras guatemala salvador and to some extent from nicaragua given the political crisis happening there which are extreme poverty high levels of violence and rampant political instability for help. i have in mexico city thank you. when you
