3:06 pm
processes at such a level that the united nations is raising concerns when you, in light to the young people you will find or answer on the streets, which is really tired, but not tired of being on the streets and produce we're just tired of the sliced, his constant life, young people with their feet wide as they walked in the process again that the climate change. i just feel like doing it because it's not so often in uganda that people my age stand up and demand what they want an on call the occasion was marked with riot police and tear gas. protestors took their anti government demonstration to the cities shopping centers. only for democratic reforms and demanding the city maintainance autonomy. i don't think i
3:07 pm
can return to my life anymore. like since it started then you took up the responsibilities then you can't really go back with i. 6 it's weird cuz i do feel connected to my home town, and i will definitely say that santiago is my home town. but just imagining raising my future children here is weird because i really don't want to it's poles my
3:08 pm
children, to so many problems that we have here at the moment. i really wanted them to have like, more opportunities than i have in, you know, sheila is seen as one of the richest countries in latin america. but we, the working class don't get anything from that. water is pre baptized, privatized education, privatized health care, and pension systems. still mainly favor the well we have a huge inequality, got low wages, no patience. and the cost of leaving gets higher and higher. but the biggest problem is sorry constitution, which is the main reason for failing help. terrible pensions and the big gap in
3:09 pm
north society. we ask ourselves, how can that be steal in or not? i'm sure that the really we eat theory to seamless like friday of to rating and the government raised the prices for the mental again. so the working class and the poor people have to pay more for their everyday life. again, after decades of inequality, that was just enough. ah, people got really angry and call on everyone not to pay for the tickets anymore. when they remember, did we get like really close to my house? i mean one street,
3:10 pm
they were just so many people doing this. ah . you only for use the night we realised it. that was only the beginning. being around my family gives me so much hope. expect chevy in those moments when i am filling down. they give me this much of a shot because i don't want them to pass through the same experience i pass through when i was during the up to the so they keep me motivated, trying to get to talk to them. and i grew up in what you saw district in a small town called gender. why?
3:11 pm
the then got my parents had a plantation where we used to maria cause other animals but gold peaks, chicken, very huge plantations. and by then, they used to be farmers but to get to the effects of climate change all the crops, dray dodge due to knowing full, sometimes still a heavy rainfall that washed away all the curb. and also the rising temperatures that dried out all the streams and worlds we are. we used to collect the water to feed the livestock. my parents had to sell all the land we had so that they could get money to get us for our food, a survival of fees,
3:12 pm
it gets worse and worse. every year, hundreds of people died because of the sim fledglings to many families, lost their homes. and mine is one of them. i remember time when i had to miss me, my school because my parents were out of money and i had to see tom lake for 4 months. it was really very bread and from them i thought i could do something to change this whole situation. by that time i didn't know that it that effects rough isinglass because of climate change. i i
3:13 pm
i reveal it is a love you and yet also another wonderful day where we discussed issues that affect the youth in uganda. here on the program. young martin, my name is laureen and today in studio we have the team from friday for future. uganda. thank you. my name is natalia hilde after love. yeah, i'm a climate activist and i'm a student at company international university. i'm 22 years old and a password but less degree in procurement and supply chain management. so why climate you could have maybe gotten another passion, maybe about the girl child of something, all you know, sexual harassment. why climate ok to me, i chose climate do because it is something that affects each and every one of
3:14 pm
us. when you look at our may be goal tail under violation, it looks at only one gender. and even though old we have to genders. so climate change affix each and every one of us no matter the age, no matter the size, the matter, the gender, no matter the status. so it is something that is connected to us. ah the only am all all day long me oh, no long die all day
3:15 pm
but i'm born and raised in hong kong and i grew up in the collins i. i will say that my home town. it's like it's really home me. i always feel connected to hong kong because i've been here for like my whole life. i have all my friends around me and my parents are or in hong kong. so i don't really have some other places that i could call home and i don't see them now. you're balancing it was on a boy on is only 3 uphold dawson, the young lady on the line is only going down to the home as long as i don't bother, there's only will do mom who was on cobra. i
3:16 pm
seen the activists around me make me realize that there's still hope in this city because the major thing of a city is the space and people without this 2 elements, you can have a city and people are really united to now 3 months later it kills my fought on thinking about moving out from hong kong on like going somewhere else because i came to the langauge between me and hong kong right now or by think the love and care you have to was your hometown is way more important than the sense. mm. a long time ago, my home town, hong kong was handed back by the british to china in 1997 under the premise
3:17 pm
of one country to systems we all were raised with democratic values with freedom of speech we freedom of press. but in the recent years, china is trying everything to make hong kong just like another chinese city. they may, that we belong to, dan, that they possess us. but i'm not from china. i'm from hong kong.
3:18 pm
i'm so sorry to keep who has on the 9th of june, because on the 12th of june was supposed to be the day to our chief executive carry land going to push to extradition or to china, which actually minimize our independence, ian hong kong. thousands of people have just wrapped up wrapping from home for the fight against a controversial extradition bill. those amendments could've allowed beijing, the spirit, hong kong to mainland china, for any accused crimes. even those that might be made up. critics worried that the bill would make it easier for beijing to exert control over the region. the situation we know turned violent as afternoon as a question as erupt in between believe
3:19 pm
blue. for me, i do worried about being arrested, but not in a sense i'll say, oh, i has to be in jail for like how many, how many years and i lost my freedom. it's not about let me now it's about how the police with you up in that 48 hours that they are legally to detain you. that's actually the part that scares me a lot. ah. i
3:20 pm
think you can simply ignore the junk people and the working class that will buck fire. at some point you ignored the working class. you will have a whole cd on the streets. on october 25 of 2019. there was a huge protest in santiago with 1200000 people. we pushed for social reforms and more equal society. we thought our voices will be heard instead of doing anything that could help improve the situation of the working class or 1000000000. our president announced that sheila is at war
3:21 pm
essentially against its own citizens. mm hm. they've a lot of plastic and poorly been and dyed. it, it's just like a floating revolve left thinking it had so much to see that what we call beauty or nature is turning out to be something. it was something that is going to kill us soon. but some people do not really care. we come out as people to clean it until some people will still throw plastic even when you're
3:22 pm
cleaning it. one takes up most of my time in this movement is creating massive climate awareness because climate change is not taught in schools so he couldn't get it when we 1st talk to them about climate change. so we need rounds and runs of discussions about it for them to get it. expression is that it does feel that they have left their life and the rest is for a slow coming generation to do. i also moved to my class where i study form, and i had that conversation with my professor and when i talked about climate change, who really give me a negative attitude untold may climate change does not exist. and he called me
3:23 pm
climate change in god's plan and there's nothing i can do about it. i am on the one i'm look my one my avenue. nick, i don't know. like i didn't have. yeah. what a maybe you're quite laura holloway, my goodness. one. the one that goes over ha, we're now going thought or which would move. now goes another door. i'm going to have the noise it up record even get up. what is our pile customer board? what warden and what's your chain? charl. valcall talked about 3. i turned to the gym, cuts by then by saba, i'm going to read out who no caged caught a being from that video to the amount of video and you will no longer look on mobile on to nearby not now by now. i'm way now bye. now, bye, now,
3:24 pm
bye bye. now i'm way by job. what's on go like it might be just pianos are if government, uncooperative organizations and individuals didn't act towards creating solutions to this climate crisis. a fear that the future i am working for right now will not be bare because of inaction. i positively speaking, i will say that every time even we're like week and then we're on the losing sy but is always a chance for us to improve the next time is always a chance for us to learn. why should we do better or like what we could have use better next time? what have equipment we could have i would say the worst thing to be on the losing
3:25 pm
side is that every tongue you being on the front line, you seen people getting arrested and then going home that night you have who like, why is not me ah, when they are actually really close to you, you through scared. by the same time you have to make the decision like, oh, i could have a chance to save that person. so this never right or wrong. because it's a human instinct that you've had that yourself. but you also see really beauty, if you know that you may have like a one percent chance to save that person, even you don't know that person. but what i like about home home and the protest here east that many young people, they are so innovative. and they use their skills to serve the protests and improve
3:26 pm
the situation for the people here. during the entire protest, everyone keeps saying be water. and as a map her, i caught direct people and tell them, go here, go there, but i can tell them where it's safe to go. and i think that's the most important for every one right now, especially as civilians may very easily be caught up in conflict areas because you never know where it's going to be. so we hope that the map can provide information for people who wish to stay safe. yeah, there was one day when i all the protesters were rounded up in newtown plaza and shot in. so there were directed and to be m t r, stationed into the, into the mall by the police are basically to catch hold all the protesters in the shots and, and then they just started rounding them up and beating them up. we were just wondering like, how could this have happened, why is there no where to go even even where people who wants to escape,
3:27 pm
who wanted to avoid conflict. so then we decided to draw map. so we could see where the police are, where protesters are to make sure that people at least have an escape route. so yeah. so people will know where the police are station, where there are a lot of protesters where there are road blocks even how the transport situation is like. so this is information that would be useful for the general public, but would also be useful for people on the front lines. if they want to know escape routes. if they want to know, basically where it put police are, where is not safe, where they should not go apart from that, we've also got some feedback from the 1st a teams. so they're really grateful that we write down where protesters are, especially we also indicate the density of protesters in different areas so that they know where they should set up their 1st aid stations, supply stations recitations, and all that ah
3:28 pm
