9:11 am
a small town called gender. why to the then go my parents had a plantation where we used to rear calls other animals that gold peaks chicken, very huge plantations. and by then they used to be farmers. but due to the effects of climate change, older 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,
9:12 am
it gets worse and worse. every year. hundreds of people died because of these simple ladings to many families, lost their homes. and mine is one of them. i remember at home when i had to miss me my school because my parents were out of my knee 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 who are facing glad because of climate change. the me, ah,
9:13 am
i 0. the reveal it is a love by you and yet also another wonderful day we, we discussed issues that affect you in uganda. here on the program, young martin, my name is lorraine, and today in studio we have the team from friday for future. uganda. my name is natalia hilde after via a mcclendon activist. and i am a student at company international university and 22 years old and a pass through a bunch 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? a key to me i chose climate because it is something that affects each
9:14 am
and every one of us. when you look at or maybe goal tail under violation, it looks at only one gender. and even though old, we have 2 genders. so cleric change affects 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 not only among all day so mm hm. let me. oh no, don't die all day
9:15 am
but i'm born and raised in hong kong and i grew up in the collins i. i would say that my home town, it's like, it's really home me. i always feel connected to hong kong curse. 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. i don't see, i don't know you volumes. it was on a boy. all is only upholds also the young lady on the line is only gone down to the home as long as i don't. bah, recently will do. mom. who's on palmer? i
9:16 am
seemed to foster around me, make me realize that there's 2 hope in this city coasts. 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 fall on thinking about moving out from hong kong on like going somewhere else. because i can see the langauge between me and hong kong. right now by think the love and care you have to was your hometown is way more important. does a sense a long time ago, my home town, hong kong was handed back by the british to china. in 1997,
9:17 am
under the premise 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 think that we belong to dan, that they possess us, but i'm not from china. i'm from hong kong
9:18 am
associates. he puts us on the 9th of june because on the 12th of june was supposed to be the day the, our chief executive carry land going to push to as traditional to china, which actually minimize our independence in hong kong. oh, thousands of people have just wrapped up around in circles and home for the fight against a controversial extradition bill. those amendments could've allowed beijing, the spirit, hong kong, as 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 this afternoon as the question is interrupted between. believe this
9:19 am
bowl for me, i do worried about being arrested, but not in a sense. i'll say ally 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 me, 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
9:20 am
think you can simply ignore the junk people and the working class that will backfire at some point. you ignore the working class. you will have a whole seat 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. ah. instead of doing anything that good had improved the situation of the working class
9:21 am
or 1000000000, our president announced that sheila is at war essentially against its own citizens. 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
9:22 am
cleaning it. no one takes up. most of my time in this move means is creating massive climate awareness because climate change is mentality in schools. so people don't get huge when we 1st talked to them about climate change. so we need rounds, hundreds of discussions about it for them to get to expression that old as feel that they have left their life. and the rest is for us now come and generous shown to do. i also moved to my class where i study from and i had that conversation with my professor. and when i talked about climate change, he really give me a negative attitude and told me climate change does not exist. and he called me
9:23 am
climate change in god's plan and there's nothing i can do about it. a up and down on the one i'm looking at my mind, i believe nick, dot net. yeah. okay, upgrade to be out of your point. laura holloway. my goodness. have welcome one more now goes over. how now glenda with now got an advantage dorm, crescent grinding noise in october i could even get a ramp our customer products with flood gordon. so nothing would change. charl, valcall tosto will appear to into that to him by then by sabah. go to let out who know who to put it in to an that video to the amount of the video. and you will normally go look um, i'm going to never, not now by another way. now bye now bye. now, bye bye. now i'm,
9:24 am
we by jo. sango might be just pos, are if government, uncooperative organizations, an individual student act towards creating solutions to this climate crisis. since a fear that the future i am walking for right now will not be bare because of inaction. by positively speaking, i will say that every time even we're like weak and then we're on the losing side, but is always a chance for us to improve the next time is always a chance was to learn. why should we do better or like what we could have used better next time? what kind of equipment we could have i would say the worst thing to be on the news
9:25 am
inside is that a re tongue you being on the front line view? seeing people getting arrested and then going home that night you have to like, why is not me when they are actually really close to you? you feel 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 protect 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 hong kong and the protest here east that many young people, they are so innovative and they use their skills to serve the protests and improve
9:26 am
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 everyone 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. there was one day when all the protesters were rounded up in new town, plaza and shot in so they were directed into the m t. r station 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?
9:27 am
why is there no where to go even, even for people who wanted a escape, 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 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 put police are, where's not safe, where they should not go apart from that, we've also gotten 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 aces stations, supplies stations recitations, and all that ah
