al-jazeera after rebel education and school for life uganda special thanks so much for. talk to al-jazeera. what guarantees ready to give to the people will be attending them and i'm a workshop we listen i'm supposed to explain apologize for someone it's also terrorizing we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on the 00 education matters the universal rights to expand arise and offer better prospects. to a better life yet around the globe schools and institutions break. systems they deem to be no longer fit. linking school and how they want identifying the scale of the knowledge needed in the 21st century and now

a new wave of rebel education is sweeping. the educator and a radically changed the way. challenging the old and bucking the. creating opportunities which will affect individuals and then tie a community. uganda has such a huge demographic of us a bit of a sense of elation it's actually young people under the age of 5 and the challenge that we're having is that there is

a mismatch between the number of students that graduate from school and available jobs on the market. it's very common for you to go to marketplaces and you find young people doing different kinds of things most of them actually come without any plan what they're going to do for the day they just come and station here maybe they'll get a very kind person and they didn't care for them things to their cause. to. be. one of the things you do you go through and you're going to be you going to patients with they'll give you a lot of spirit to go knowledge he just went in there from whatever you know he needed to cram and then produce the same things in the papers doing exactly what

typically happens it's tough for most of us that after school i don't find actual employment you don't actually have the right skills for you to get employed so if an employer is going to give you a job they have to ask train you again and very you know the best schools i should say like communication or critical thinking skills that ideally the patient should be providing. you're frustrated because you had all these your parents have invested so much of the money they hired much for a good school with the hope that actually after you're done with school you have this employment to be able to help your brothers or sisters but after school actually sit down and you're struggling because that promise has been broken out of the over 500000 ugandans that actually come out of university i did they call it it's only able to actually provide jobs to about 90000 so you can imagine what happens the other 400 what do they do and if they have not been equipped the right

skills to start their own businesses what was going to happen to. be. the. key. to. educate his vision is to transform education in africa we do this by i don't mean with 2nd to school and working with them to teach youth skews in leadership into pinoy ship and workforce readiness. but you know. the media.

needs. to be. doing no more classes is to dental does nothing will go on until unless one ends to tell. but in educate before a student even thinks of those the maze and idea is that in order to keep them active in class i'll. suck that's why i tell. it in your letter. that was. a. good roads are closed and lost all those that have. any.

clue to say most of us that we are complaining is that we actually have placed source to be driven from so little that tight what that will be lining to the end of the day so it's not just him it's games or puppets i mostly see the case you know we're trying to present our young people to education i think what i actually learning should be fun learning should be directed by me should be some of the strength of. my 2nd risk pool didn't have educate but i used to attend educate from another school i suggest as quote my friend to that school so i tend to educate.

without sound everyone. how was your last. what did you have for lunch today. oh boy it's busting i guess the 1st 3 words before we start the list on its own start up you're from the lands. you look for this sort of. i want to do the counting game that what. i want to do the counting game so already we find out if i said that was there ready to go. on like this if your fists fanned out. hot 12301. 2. 2. was hot. cold. a 2nd.

though we are going to come on cause it is less so on. and it is quote fund raising kids how to say it's fund raising beats. oh go on tell us what i mean by a wide fund raising what is for fund raise yes. thank you give half hour was. she has tried someone. who is going to give us a better. talk. thanks for trying but it's not quite. the wow give us some love. she deserves love that is the as i wanted to hear. it

the act of. my new that. is such an object to. you and i'll fight on. tuesday. i feel more comfortable because of nothing to. do we take on a play bill of rights and the ships kill and the wrath of. those less than some compared to the plane. that should be where. we treat what could be. one of the things i think that we pride ourselves in is that we are no it's landing organization so what we do here is it's really to think about how we can improve the program the i feel we're doing

that we're talking to our teams in the field making sure that we're really new designs or new changes or solutions whatever challenges they have raised to us and sharing those with them and we actually also talking to schools paid to chose and making sure we're getting the feel of what the program is actually going to see with the. you'll see.

most students come from the immediate entitled this is this county of a school or. they might get each of. these sounds. sets the stands for. the able now to up ford somewhat immediate in their systems like goes kind of forwards. students can't afford instruction on the t.v. other than.

demichelis i'll go to the local mike tell you when you look at these there's just been. assembled and few beads around and it looks also they said it in the army that is that ranks of a problem within the school you know but sometimes our friends walk out of school during break tame trying to catch up with breakfast but they provide this school so they make as if you could make this that is and sell to them just to put it here that they made liquid soap we've been this cool is their liquid soap this cool advice from the club one way of supporting the club and also the students take their liquid soap to the community. this is just wasted paper so this isn't going

to crash it that won't come up with the cardboard so this got word from the film even you can put it in your in your wallet then the pin in your sticky notes out towards you so might everyone here knows how to make whichever for you to see here is that important i just put here responsible by this scheme to divert by everyone who is involved in the club so there is a pool of skills to go out there and employ the skills that they have lantern in to get the able to and manage support their families and themselves. they don't want to be gone we can perceive that they want to become me a job. because of the skills they have gained in it is a need i may take one and they create maybe. i may be making banks in a simply different countries people and become a businesswoman. you only need someone to nature you someone to tell you can do this someone to mentor you and that's why we're here for this is savings so scared to we can encourage students to save their money you only paid one as

a membership fee that they will be when you're with putting your money you get some costs they see on their money that. we do give out some loans after you've paid back the money we found interest and they traced it straight past. we have the where they call social finals this is the money they actually used to help the needy. a 2nd time we hoped for and we paid school for school and even. different maids a disco inferno. much money. when you select the sense of what we make sure that we have a 50 percent balance between guards and boards and also what we've done is that

within the lessons that we believe are we teaching awareness concepts. that's something that the young people are watching with the boys and the ghost. even better is that we have noticed that the program is actually having a bigger impact on young women because we realize that actually for the goes we're having 120 percent increase in income. we are making this center of pilots because many students were missing classes and on researching it was like that when those ones having their periods they were only staying at home they can't afford that so i'm terrified the one we buy from this

shop this sign terrified sad bitter because they come to be real washable and be reused i've told many people how to make this sign terabytes class my friend sat down and i'm sure that whatever 8 ish also goes on spreads the idea to restore the people this is one. theory class they handle then we also put one this is for you foul vand compared to they are that son terabytes which should be a back 8 and you pair 3000 i knew only use once i'm through our we saw if you voted vs you're sure that our view was for this month. then wait for the next 2 months to come the profit we make we are raised to reinvest as a project if someone else come up with the a new skew and eaten in serie it to me and see investing in it we get to the there money we've got on this we also invest we are not all about making profits but we

are all about putting the posting of impact to the rest of the people. going to get. going to a house for brag out and they don't have and. i'll buy their dream as equality in. that area we are living again is not such a good mood and we are back down the road when i was trained to be and my family to leave the buddha to going to be going to. going to add and the old

and going to the bad and the local my daily oh. now so as it were you a. still. in our country we entirely skills in late may be someone there is going to a new skill we'll come back to school and we'll raise a record. but started school senior in the army more books and even then not books and if we make sure they're true we sprayed all over the family so that we're facing this moment it knows how to mix charge and these if we believe that we decide to skew. we always teach the community make for the young goes who are dropped out of school because they

are many in the stone of ours they are some bored boy we're in big mountain and maybe big good have in the infantry we dish them how to operate this always question how to make their bags and how to make them mad to spit out how to make the baskets even this time terrified by the chance to be there. to see them up the good old wounded. them save them and you are now it turns out well listen there's a listen when i did answer them up some overly lucky. to be.

something that did a little part of the band. that until they. just taken 4 days to get all this got to see all but yeah. big guy. she starts from our own am in the morning until 6 in the evening 6 days in a week she has been doing this for the last 10 years she sells it for about 50 dollars. the people who helped her carry that from down in the the big. to opt out and then the ones to load it on the truck and then the remaining balance is what she will pay hostel. i've witnessed some of my

relatives doing good and the people in my community doing it which has made me feel so bad and i've decided to at least bring for them something that can help them more buy from this hectic swap. to. tell about who's going to. tell you you can stimulate. now simply. gives them. a year later. learn. that if you believe you can do.

the letters right now i rolling papers out they run the back into i beat them and the bins i used to sit for the necklaces after rolling hills of collect the beads and then put it on one string and then vanish it eventually to make the final product that can be designed in any different way that you want this lady is used to walk a mile stone quarry and they talked to them we went through want that what they go through the whole day without lunch sitting on us. watching simon and with all the heat with all the hard work it breaks them down and it makes them weaker and weaker the majority of them hiv positive so it is not healthy for their lives i talked to them and they introduced to them to making this paper products where they can get income and they can start different income generating activities besides working in the stone quarry they make the products that they're making they sell it and an

income from it and this income is distributed differently some of them have even gone ahead to invest the money into different other businesses which we so much encourage to happen and then some of them have also going to have to take their children to schools are also going to have to pay for their own house rent also going to have to buy for themselves clothes take themselves to the hospital and all that i want to see a change i want to see a transformation from from being an impoverished community to being middle income community because poverty ha ve aids and single motherhood we don't have good is so much in this area. when i was being mentored all throughout my. classes my mentor kept on

telling me the principle of money. running my own business have helped me pay for myself at school helped me pay for my pipes not in business. school it helped me also take my daughter to a school it also helped me to get that lovely house that a holiday home. to . me i'm very proud was i'm seeing my true grandma you learn as a dream some seem to go to which probably going to go in the market and somebody. else also develop that say we've got the down side maybe now but married for the job just to have some life going one day if it will be it will be to the present but in this case. what we're seeing is that the youth that i've been through that

it could program actually become lead us become community leaders because you know we're cautious about what's going on in the community i'm sort of provide solutions for those challenges that are commuters going through. flood to see that they could start businesses that have a positive impact to the community. a society's progress is dependent on the quality of its experts we need more in finding professionals a top priority is to model right in your generation to study find new teaching methods are infusing tiny students to become the agents of change taking them out to the classroom to solve problems in their local communities ready level education inspiring science timeline at this time on knowledge is in the growing up in the united states i learned that the 1st amendment is really key to being

a good fit the freedom of the challenge is going to be something these men and women to the resources that are available but it's an al-jazeera story to me is that we just don't tell you what the subject of the story wants to know the government is not going to do the one thing the demonstrators want to apologize for that's what al-jazeera does we ask the questions so that we can get closer to the truth. it's very difficult allison a chef or restaurant or to buy shrimp with the confidence that what you're serving is going to be good seafood by nature is a high risk management sometimes firm has released losing production drugs. that are not approved for use in the u.s. the f.d.a. simply isn't testing enough on the imported market to really find all of these violent if present the take note at this time on al-jazeera. sets in the discussions police in cape town has struggled to making steady

a gallon by and examining the headlines now under president putin russia is making a push to engage explore an abundance of world class programming designed to inform motivate and inspire news but. it's almost 2nd nature and i also know what's at stake see the world from a different perspective on al-jazeera. 6 a picture for and there are to about separatist forces in the yemeni city of new canal that agreed to a cease fire. alarm down jordan this is not as iran live from go also coming up thousands of

palestinians gather phonied prayers at the al aqsa mosque compound despite reports of israeli settlers and entered the home side. for the foreseeable future i would place the remains early on so i believe in people the u.n. says it will continue operations in libya despite an attack that killed 3 of its peacekeepers. and at least 70 people were killed in tanzania after rushing to collect fuel from an old attempt unka. separatists in southern yemen have agreed to calls from saudi arabia for a cease fire that follows 4 days of fighting in the city a separatist captured bases belonging to the presidential guard after 1st being called in to protect the presidential palace saudi forces withdrew before it was overrun well the violence has exposed a rift in the military alliance between saudi arabia and the u.a.e.

that's been at war with these since 2015 while yemen's government is supported by the coalition the separatists haven't been trained by the amorality is over but money has more. to eat battles are braced for 4 days in yemen 2nd 58 and since 3 of the rebels took over the capital sanaa in 2015. aden has been the seat of the country's internationally recognized government now key air. including the president too palace have fallen to southern separatists analysts say their goal is to win back the independence the south lost in the 2 yemens united in 1990 this is what they have been fighting for since 2007. that's about. more than 10 years now. since they have been demanding separation. and. the moment now. i think

also the regional. national and international circumstances will be. their failure this is what is highly likely to happen the separation this represented south yemen when it was independent between 1967 until 1998 group doctors without borders is calling the city a battlefield. after dozens of the soldiers were killed in a hooty attack on aug 1st sudden separatists accuse the internationally recognized and saudi backed president of failing to protect them and called for the government to be overthrown. many people have fled 8 others are trapped in their homes including this aid worker we hear the sounds of mortar shells from time to time without knowing the source or the target to be hit some have said in the city are

directly hit or fire fragments into houses or the cars for example a group of men sitting in a cafe yesterday were helped by a mortar shell the battling side who once part of a saudi led coalition they've been fighting hooty rebels in northern and western yemen for more than 4 years the latest violence threatens to open a new front in the 5 year war which just killed tens of thousands of people. 6 al-jazeera. well william laurance is a professor at george washington university he says it isn't clear of saudi arabia can broker a deal. it's actually kind of odd that you would have a ceasefire so quickly because that allows the southern separatists to consolidate their gains rather than be ousted rather quickly and so it's clear that saudi really believes it can. and find a solution here and i'm not so sure that they can do that easily even giving their

wealth and their status because the southern separatists have been trying to do this for a long time they have longstanding grievances and it's not clear that there will be an easy deal to make i think this is also a story in many ways of what happens when a proxy war is fought and a power comes in and escalates the conflict but also in some ways stabilizes things on one side of the conflict and then leaves precipitously and what the u.s. did in leaving precipitously is actually further escalate the conflict by leaving a different factions that they had supported stronger against other factions that they hadn't supported and they actually are to blame in part for this mess thousands of palestinians have gathered in a mosque in occupied east jerusalem for the 1st day of the muslim festival of. at the same time there are reports that jewish settlers plan to storm the compound. well the whole area is central to the israeli palestinian conflict down has been

a regular flashpoint as both sides lay claim to it jews refer to it as temple mount in acts of compounds west and warns the holiest site where they can pray the muslims the compound houses the dome of the rock and the al aqsa mosque which represents the 3rd holiest site in islam when jordan is the custodian of al aqsa mosque but its role has been challenged repeatedly with how the force that joins us live now from occupied east jerusalem how is that just talk us through what's the scene at al aqsa mosque now. well the main aid prayers which were delayed from dawn to 7 30 am to try to maximize the number of people at the al aqsa mosque compound the islamic authorities the walk for the compound had instructed all the mosques in the area to close this sunday and to have those prayers at that time to get as many people as possible as you can see many people are now leaving the question though remains what the israeli security forces have decided or will

decide about whether to let non muslims in usually non muslims aren't allowed in on major muslim festival days such as this but there has been. a big effort by far right and religious national jewish groups to be allowed in because this is also a jewish holy day it coincides with the jewish holy day this year of tisha where jews mourn and fast various catastrophes in jewish history such as the destructions of the 1st and 2nd temples the jewish exile and so there are these groups that are demanding access to the site on the same day usually police don't allow people in who aren't muslim on important muslim festivals they did break that precedent earlier this year when the end of ramadan coincided with what israelis call jerusalem day when they mark the seizure of east jerusalem in 1067 by israeli forces they did allow jews in on that day and there were some skirmished. is at the site during the course of that day so far that we've had no word from the police on

their decision today to have a force that they're in occupied east jerusalem a very thank you for that let's bring in moon rabbani if we can he's a senior fellow at the institute for palestine studies and joins us via skype from washington d.c. 1000000 so we're hearing reports that some israeli settlers plan to storm the al aksa compound just talk us through what they're hoping to achieve by this move. essentially these years are over to augment. the ration of sovereignty over an ex east jerusalem with effectively establishing your sovereignty over the heart i'm a city and everything within it and many of them have our end of the line you know if you will ideology which says that the unlocks a mosque and with all of the rock need to be demolished and your place well what

with what they probably their temple so essentially it's trying to eradicate and eliminate any that since there are problems city and presidents and mystery at the holiest sites and more and more in in terms of the broad agenda politics how much is president trump's actions of embracing the agenda of israel's extreme right further emboldened the israeli government and israeli extremists but very well so i mean i think it's fair to say that these agendas did not originate with the tron ministration and preceded by many years but nevertheless you now have in the ministration in washington that has gone beyond the traditional. american support of whenever the government of the day we visited has in fact adopted the agenda of the most extreme forces within israel as its own and

essentially adopted as an american agenda and what you now have is these israeli forces whether the government. rather is sensing or golden opportunity particularly in the period leading up the next american presidential elections in november of next year as kind of the golden opportunity to see to it. as as much as they can as fast as they can and i think this also inquire helps explain the increase here precedence in the world around these issues and a final thought from you there's also the ongoing blockade of gaza and we've seen increasing violence in gaza over the last few days i mean how is that playing out into the vents as well well we've seen increasing violence in gaza over the past years and back well past decades and what we're seeing now is. a gradual escalation of what the city efforts to increase the challenge.

there is i think the real question to what extent will come out of the rules it goes astray or is involved in these and we see challenges of the law and to what extent these are being conducted by forces independently of a mosque even more challenging. hamas i think it's also fair to say that things are coming to have not only. occupied east jerusalem but also in the gaza strip because of the taller growing and it's all over and into a pit and innocence or raises questions about the status quo in the west. which many observers believe is becoming is untenable has a lot more in rabbani thank you very much talking to al jazeera if you're. on the

mecca of the harsh pilgrimage has moved into its 3rd day more than 2000000 muslims have traveled to saudi arabia for the festival on sunday they'll perform the sounding of the devil ritual some relate to sacrifice animals to mark the start of the. the u.n. secretary general antonio but that is has condemned a car bomb attack that's killed 3 united nations employees in libya the explosion in the eastern city of benghazi up on moments before a u.n. convoy passed through the area the u.n. security council has met to discuss the convoy and the water situation in libya i join others in condemning in the strongest terms today's attack on the u.n. convoy in benghazi we send our deepest sympathy to the families of the victims the u.n. exists to help and protect people and attack against its representatives is an attack on the international community at large and we salute the work that this doing in libya at the same time.
