1:06 pm
intermediate forces treaty has collapsed earlier this year because the u.s. is. accusing russia of violating the treaty then there's one other treaty still in place which is the new start treaty and that's the one last standing treaty to protect people against a nuclear war in the world so it's very crucial that this is going to be really negotiated and put and has been asking the united states to open these negotiations for a while now and he said there was a little room when he talked to trump on the phone earlier and it was also some discussion about it when michael bay you visited russia a few weeks ago but now he says nobody is talking to me meaning that no negotiation no negotiations have started basically that's. to global security. at this form of course there's a lot of lot of topics being discussed but he also talked about venezuela still supporting my dual saying that this opposition leader would be
1:07 pm
a disaster for the country i started upon so many topics but of course the main gaffe here is the president xi jinping from china he brought a huge delegation of a 1000 delegates to the meeting here lots of deals have also been signed and will be signed between russia and china here at the forum the interim president of algeria wants to government to prepare legislation to finalize a date for a presidential election protests on the streets have continued despite the resignation of longtime leader. 2 months ago protesters want all those associated with him to go before a new election can be held they have demanded the interim president step down as well apolo member such a life force was cancelled after the only 2 candidates were barred from running. a job. unless him added dozens of his patients with lethal injections has been sentenced to life in prison meals hogle is thought to be one of the most prolific serial killers and post-war germany came reports from. this is one of the worst

1:11 pm
oppose his use earlier in the day job also now to met with president. can see you know in the presidential palace let's talk about a number of issues and she cross border co-operation the environment but the the main issue the main issue that resonated between them was their opposition to the government of nicolas maduro in venice way those countries are hosting the 10s of thousands of venezuelans who have fled the economic and political difficulties in their home country the 2 presidents of a was in argentina don't want to see more of that they support the self declared interim president one white all trying to get. removed from office. without all the said that he doesn't want to see all the venice whalers spread across argentina the 2 men with a great deal in common but facing increasing opposition across argentina and brazil

spain's acting prime minister says he'll meet leaders of rival parties to try to form a new government had a sanchez's socialist party won the most votes and april's national election but not enough to secure a majority kill now hold talks with spain's largest 3 parties to form a new government and it's likely the father left for demo's party will form a coalition with the socialists you're dreaming now pig samas in south korea taking imagine sea measures to stop an outbreak of swine fever in north korea. riya from crossing the border farmers in the south are concerns that pyongyang is ignoring calls for joint quarantine efforts traps and fences are being built around hundreds of farms to keep out wild boars which roam in the north florence louie has more. well here on gungho island one of several places designated by the south korean government as a special surveillance area following an outbreak of african swine fever in north korea were really close to the border with the north it lives just beyond the river
1:13 pm
about 2 kilometers away and endless island there are about 35 pig farms african swine fever is harmless to humans but it's fatal to pigs to prevent the disease from spreading south korea's agriculture ministry is taking several measures access to and from pig farms is known tightly controlled farm workers have been told to carry out disinfection and then fences and traps have been set up to prevent infected wild boars from coming into contact with domestic pigs not many wild boars will be able to cross the barbed wire fences or make it across the heavily mined border area but that's a possibility that some of them may be able to swim across the river and get into south korea and that's why the south has proposed to the north that they work together to prevent the spread of the disease and that is the political dimension to this story relations between the 2 countries have cooled considerably since a february summit between u.s.
1:14 pm
president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong il and ended without agreement on the outbreak of the disease cannot come at a worse time for north korea which is already experiencing a severe food shortage following its worst harvest in a decade but while some analysts say the promise of aid may not be enough to north korea back to talks there are others who say that humanitarian assistance may lead to other exchanges perhaps even in the political arena and that could possibly be what south korea's strategy is palestinians are accusing israeli settlers of setting fire to hundreds of olive trees in the occupied west bank him reports from the town of show nerd. olive trees that have been here for the past 60 years have turned into ashes after a recent arson and just north of the occupied west bank israeli settlers were seen attacking the school in the village ahead of the fires locals say they started it
1:15 pm
they will submit the surveillance camera footage to the israeli police but they don't expect a fair trial has set up in the u.k. it's difficult to imagine that they would hold settlers accountable usually the israeli justice system stands by the settlers in the face deterrence from the israeli forces and police they wouldn't repeat their attacks every year there's a problem of the sort of. human rights organizations say less palestinians are reporting settler attacks and accuse the israeli system of biased towards settlers this is really a human rights organization yes dean says that 93 percent of cases regarding olive trees attacks were closed due to israeli police investigation failure people here say that secular violence and lack of accountability i meant to establish feed and push palestinians out of their lands they believe that this will help the expansion of illegal israeli settlements. loss steel and concrete it's other things that come to mind when you think of skyscrapers but in the future the wilds of great city is
1:16 pm
may have some skyline spills out of a different material would take from around the globe are missing in the u.s. to discuss just that john hendren reports if a new generation of rogue architects has their way the era of the concrete in steel skyscraper might be over the future they say lies in a millennia old building material would be challenges actually in the believe it or not not structural it's more of a psychological barriers of getting over they were working on the new buildings are made with cross laminated timber stronger because the layers of wood are stacked in opposite directions the technology has been used for years in europe wooden buildings like the airy 80 story river beach project in chicago might just be a blueprint for a new era in architecture the reason this is kind of exploding right now is because it's an engineered wood technology about uses small diameter trees but are combined to make massive panels. wooden buildings go up faster and cheaper
1:17 pm
a concrete floor takes at least 2 weeks to dry for each story timber weighs 80 percent less than concrete so it takes fewer trucks to deliver the wood which is cut in the factory and snaps together with not a saw on site but there's another more pressing reason to use wood timber buildings are greener both ice caps are melting and the storms are getting worse it we all have to step forward and do what we can and in my profession what i can do is change my material choice for what i'm going to build with and build with something that's more socially and environmentally responsible the manufacture of concrete and steel emits planet warming carbon dioxide would absorbs carbon actually cleaning the air i fell in love with a building i love their windows the view is at 29 meters this is the tallest cross laminated timber building in the united states but the architect who
1:18 pm
designed it is already designing another one at 137 meters and he says with these materials the sky's the limit the growing industry faces to nagging questions is it deforesting the plan and they say by using smaller trees from certified renewable forests there would supply is sustainable and what about fire architects a wooden buildings can be as fire safe as any other is treated mass timber char's rather than burns. the biggest open question is whether builders and consumers will buy into the idea of living in a wooden building towering into the sky john hendren l.g. 0 portland oregon. with the headlines on al-jazeera the african union has suspended served on over the military crackdown on protesters and this one. the health ministry has denied
1:19 pm
reports that 180 people were killed claiming the real figure is 61 ethiopia is reported to be stepping in to help mediate its prime minister is expected to meet military leaders and opposition members on friday an attack on for oil tankers off the u.a.e. last month was most probably carried out by a state actor that's what the u.n. security council has been told by the u.a.e. saudi arabia and norway whose ships were targeted the u.s. has previously blamed iran which denies involvement mexico says it will send up to 6000 troops to its border with somalia in order to control the flow of migrants into the united states but u.s. vice president mike pence says it's up to president trump to decide if the steps are enough to avoid tariffs set to go into effect on monday. are best. bets. are better are both. times go. back to. work
1:20 pm
with the united states are. just going. by there a lot but you. know we've made them the president going to stand for who would bring the. right to legal immigration and also the border to really. demonstrations have been taking place and one is aries as brazilian president diable sonora makes his 1st official visit to argentina protesters are critical of his conservative policies but some accusing him of homophobia and fascism brazil's leader held talks with president america see a mockery on regional trade on the crisis in venezuela. russia's president has used amusing with his chinese counterparts to accuse the us of backtracking on a key nuclear arms reduction deal speaking as an economic forum and some pieces bag that to me appears and warned the strategic arms reduction treaty with the us is
1:21 pm
the risk of breaking down well those are the headlines join me for more news here at the stream to stay with us. there are. problems of the science of the instability is corruption we listen. to it states and president trump into conflict we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter just 0. i welcome to the stream i'm really today we look at how millennial is have the potential to revolutionize agriculture in africa and ask what's needed to make farming jobs. and your thoughts through twitter and you tube. africa has about 2 thirds of the world's uncultivated farmland but precious few
1:22 pm
people are choosing agricultural careers for years young people across the continent have seen white collar jobs as a mark of success with farming often viewed as an unstable and precarious existence but now a social media campaign fronted by nigerian musician mr easy and choreographer sherry silver answers show that farming means freedom. well you know. if you want. to.
1:23 pm
you can't help but dance a little bit the campaign is called our future is here and is led by the international fine for agricultural development or found people around the world have answered the challenge from mr easy and cheri dance for change and posted videos on tech talk and instagram for more on the campaign sherri silver joins us from los angeles as well as being an award winning dancer and creative director she is advocate for roll will also hear from. a coffee farmer and entrepreneur who leads communal shambo coffee and tanzania he joins us from berlin amanda my he is a farmer and advocate for youth in cultural algo an agricultural initiatives she's
1:24 pm
in nairobi and welcome to the stream everyone knows cherie i want to get started with you because a lot of people in our community probably know your work you are the creative force behind the moves in this viral music video child this is america it addressed racism it addressed gun violence it won awards and now you're using your moves performing what led to this campaign. so my roots are in farming my grandfather was a farmer he had cows and goats and then my grandmother would yams and she still has been on the trees so you know it's personal for me and i throughout cameroon when. you know i met some farmers and they just inspired me and i felt like i had to get involved to let the world know that farming can actually and global hunger because
1:25 pm
through farming and and growing crops is where we begin. yeah i just have to be involved in that idea of having to be involved them and i know you had a similar moment when you were out of conference and you realize the linkage between farming and humanity you talk to us about what it was for you that sparked your interest and why you should get involved. ok so 1st and foremost. i because she is the bedrock of our existence because without food we all stuck and we realize that then like in kenya whenever we have mine drought it's considered and national disaster and having that in with the agricultural finance corporation i came to realize that indeed farming is very very poor and the young person can indeed play a rule in changing this narrative because it's food we have now it's to. yet
1:26 pm
we see views like this i want to share this with all of you this is from. on twitter who says we from this part of the world have been tuned from childhood to believe that the farmer is a poor person and a literate or a dropout making it the least attractive thing to the child growing up what are some of the things that are being put in place to change that perception so i'm going to give this one to you because you are a farmer. how do you change that view is this something that you had to deal with in your own life. thanks for legal for having me and thanks oh there are some. great. what was just. a couple days ago it was probably between me. and one of the offices that. you don't know. because they. asked me what's make sure and this. and that that was the 2nd question.
1:27 pm
and i think we need to take it to ownership. if you want to be i mean you got to be a professional and you can be anything you want to be as long as you get. respect and does a professional role i think you're going to be anything they want to be so. i think one of our community members would agree with that so i want to play a video comment from king jordan i'm audie he's a dancer in lagos nigeria and here is what he said the string hello guys is in jordan for black stances he did it as he did just saying that he must have been if you so funny because so many between you sort suffer 2 to a t.v. set and night. disaffection lack of shelter because they must see the diesel buy from me because i have soap little me by family because i help create more house some more food for younger children and family so let's help to increase funding
1:28 pm
because of all the people it's a place it's more from most of you. so cherie he and his group actually participated in their campaign you can see them there so this is a dance for change challenge he's with the blocks dancers in lagos and they posted this video from his dance group to talk to us about what you feel when you see people taking their money clearly they know the importance of this they're there they're taking your message on. you i think it's really important as as we mentioned farming is often seen and unglamorous but it's not just about you know working in a field it's actually about entrepreneurship as well because it doesn't just stop growing crops and feeding your family but you can actually feed your community through this and i think that's really important and africa has so much untouched and so you know we should be we should be producing more instead of importing more
1:29 pm
. but yes for me it means a lot to see young people taking this on and being a voice for the often forgotten use in farms that don't necessarily have the place all to give their views and the more you get involved the more that policymakers and leaders can invest in rural youth so you are in cameroon as you mentioned you were you were carrying out dance workshops were you hearing from people the farmers entrepreneurs they were talking to what were some of their challenges were they telling you. yes so some of their challenges were that for example being in the rule area the roads are often bad so they will be able to produce things but then when it rains because they're one of the roads are not paved they will not be able to transport. the goods to the city. another thing i think is like young people they want to have on they want to enjoy themselves they want to go to the cinemark they you know they want to enjoy the money that they've made from farming
1:30 pm
so sometimes they don't have the resources for example internet connection and the check. to make them want to stay in the rue areas and feel like they need to eat meat think technology was one of the issues that was. i want to share with our guests this from says i took up farming a year and a half ago mainly because i was tired of city life and i needed a more natural way now i've realized the potential it has i'm currently designing a model that speaks to africa that is one tweet i want to share with you this next one though this is from someone who says out of kenya many people there have left farming like for me in kenya the government isn't doing enough many of our crops are rotting and some after harvest we've got nowhere to take them because the government is still importing stuff it's sickening to me so you see the 2 sides of that spectrum there amanda talked to us about what this person says they were
1:31 pm
facing in kenya the idea of crops rotting things not being grown there are things being imported are those issues that you've seen. yes that's true that indeed the whole value chain is not transparent a and 2 we don't have into connecting parts and we find that on the other side of the spectrum on this growth without the consumers side of things and then we also have some punitive built in time i call it that really punish the farmer and we have even a time that on social media we had the hash tag save agra sector because of some bills that were passed for instance one was a not applying organic money on your farm of which was quite punitive and then we also have the problem of infrastructure and cartels so when farmers grow and they don't have a way to get their product the produce to the markets you find that there's an
1:32 pm
influx of these products and either it's an in-flight or a sky city and we find that the family often suffers when that happens so also the government itself is not really a good buy we've had several instances they have fun as have not been paid especially for maize it has been a challenge in kenya we've had maize rotting in us silos so it's been quite a challenge for taking care of or yeah yeah i think sometimes we put too much pressure through our government and i think we've never done it that accountancy. of a government interfering with laws and that you have that i think when you start shooting up a search of what. we call issues in transit and various markets different opportunities are you going to improve your crop. fragile going to different ways i
1:33 pm
think there's a certain limit you with those who have to take responsibility. and that's living in brooklyn bridge that yeah it's similar. to go to schools and. they will. go back. to the mall to our generation. so one of the tweets that i read earlier was from nicola who was explaining why people in kenya are leaving the farming industry in his perspective and he says unfortunately for him he's already sold his farm to a real estate agent so he's out of the game but this person this is tried to he says the biggest challenge for them in farming in africa is balancing production vs available markets we have to come up with a system of linking farmers with markets and help them plan their production accordingly this will make farming attractive to the youth
1:34 pm
a man did you want to take that one on. yes that you know the product and needs and markets where they can actually sell their goods yes so 1st of all production has to be consumed. so 1st we see the growing crops for the sake of growing crops so they will grow they will have this and then they'll have not least take their product so that's a this scenario the we also have a lot. you know inconsistency is in the market so you find that people will produce but then when it comes to the market data tells and one way also that young people can come into address that is we have the rule of i.c.t. we have an online platform we have fun the skin directly advertise our market in goods we also have the rule of social media and we have also apps that work with
1:35 pm
funds can actually advertise and make. also these family groups that onli they can help address that and in that way also the young people can be involved because when the digital era and most of the people who use tech are young people so that's also one of the ways that can be used to address those challenges you know we got this are from a bed and this is an interesting idea here sherry i'll give this to you about says this is no fact this is their anecdote but from the look of things some young africans believe farming is equal to suffering i once held this point of view my parents grew up as poor farmers they moved to the city and their story did make me look down on farming so cheri you mentioned that your grandparents for farmers ever something that you think was passed down as a glamorous way of life or a way of life that maybe your parents thought that they would want to enter or be as far away from this possible. so i wouldn't want to use my for example my
1:36 pm
grandfather's and it's all good because he loved the rural life he loved just. how that was. he didn't need all the stuff that young people need young people need a lot but. what i can say is that. you know if i would jump to change farming and the perspective of it as young people and i met this guy gabriel who's a 26 year old farmer in cameroon the and he wanted to buy these parents a house and buy himself a house and at the time when i met him he had a 1000 chickens and then i think he wanted $65.00 and said the common cold princip so clearly there is money in farming gabriel's not full. so i like about avian the idea that there is money in this i think there are other people i work ties i was like really i mean go back and saw a farm in rwanda and so you're surprised you're probably not alone in that
1:37 pm
grandmother had. such a good sample as. the beatles. in any case may just speaking i think. that's very spent most of their childhood and i was blessed to see it because there will be some time. when i made a decision that i'm going to sell simply employee. because everything i. do actually use. goes into been a huge crime that we are sort of like to get into their freedoms that is not being grew up and it's the fish in the kitchen and willingness to sort of like take yourself from not think something and push it the most days they want to see a dream happening in it they know what the response is all about education and.
1:38 pm
so there. you go ahead. i like what he said about putting in the have to we must be really careful about not exceeding too much to one site yes you want to make agriculture look at attractive but also it's not a genie in a bottle a rubber koofi a rich so just like any profession any industry you need to work at it you need to be smart about this thing and also corroded to being professional about some of you know how the culture is done so by the fact that we have a young people in the front line sherry cells and people look even at me and say are you really in agriculture and they don't believe it because he is speaking english he addressed well so that's also changing the sections slowly but definitely surely so when you talk about changing perceptions i want to share with our audience something else that might be might be doing that now if you're
1:39 pm
thinking about a career in farming this might be for you this 2017 clip is from a hit kenyan reality show called don't lose the plot which for people with little or no farming experience each worked out they worked on a plot of land in a race to become champion hell up. 4 young families from kenya and tanzania have been chosen to put their common skills to the ultimate test over the next 9 months disposed to the by. challenging open minds to big pharma is given one because of. this success to. the most profitable sustainable form so we. don't just take some time. to. correct that you are already a farmer but do you think that things like this will entice your friends and your
1:40 pm
colleagues into joining that lifestyle taking out farming. those that face intense and you know everybody used to say. it ended up raising a. lot of. talk about. you that. most of those people. and those are some of the people who has a bad name because. as any job you know from a distance and you never do any job and. if you. being so. you need to. see the results. and in addition to committing their someone our community says you need mentorship
1:41 pm
so this is casey who says effective education on what crops are suited for which soils and also adequate mentorship programs is needed it's not enough to simply give the youth land but you also have to equip them with the knowledge make farming the in thing and encourage innovation and eco friendly farming so amanda how do you go about doing that i'm ok to sell one disseminate information we have that will. collaborative partnerships and in kenya we have the climate smart and. who have part of hosted by the act which is a research institute and their sole mandate is to give you no cent if it dates out on their dad knew. they come up with so many cents if acknowledged to have a climate risk profile and all this is a bit too much for the young person to digest so we come in and use social media
1:42 pm
and actually tweet some of this information insoluble chunks and also find a way to share this risk profiles to young people in the various in kenya we have counties so come to specific climate risk profiles there are also age the pharma is what's going on concerning the environment concerning the new or innovative ways funding approaches climate smart practices and also we have a group on what where as young people in agriculture where we share and we have this knowledge platform where we bounce ideas with each other and whenever there are opportunities to attend capacity building workshops we actually put it out there and have people sign up and attend those trainings. that are driven agriculture here on twitter says to a good percentage of people agribusiness is not yet a profession and in most cases it's reserved for older people this means that the
1:43 pm
