a turkish evacuation plane that landed in widest aiden. and that's the military airport, where foreign nationals have been evacuating from a, via their countries a plane. so it looks like both sides are already accusing accusations of violating out the ceasefire. the 10s of thousands of sudanese people are continuing to flee the neighboring countries and chad food supplies have started reaching the border region. but humanitarian agencies say there isn't enough to feed the new refugees. at least a people have been killed in missile attacks across ukraine. you're watching live pictures. rescue efforts are underway in a residential building in the city of oman. key was also struck in the 1st attack by russia against the capital in nearly 2 months. and charles stratford isn't keith with the latest somers. these attacks come almost 2 months since the last wave of attack, certainly on cave, 11 of those crews. michelle's and drones were targeting areas in the cave region.

has studied youth participation in gambling, and he joins us from blank tire malawi and joining us from kenya's capital, nairobi nelson, re re, is program officer at the responsible gaming federation of kenya. se salon galle, genius nelson. welcome is so good to have all 3 of you here. i'm going to start with a little assignment that we sent. i nairobi cru off to do in kenya earlier this week . they were outside of betting shop and they spoke to a couple of gamblers. and this is what they told us, letting it go at the beginning. well, res batting has removed many of us from a life of crime, but it has many advantages. and one cannot sleep hungry if it is played right. so we ask for the government to support the batting injury fine on. so would nobody move in a bit more in 2019 i $1900.00 but since then i've lost and lost. now i have no more money,

but i'm hopeful i will win next time. you may know, ah, how for the bread and neck spread that in 2019 and in $1900.00 an axle down hill from there. oh, it's the wrong day. i am wondering hearing those cautionary tales and optimism at the same time. why is sports breton doing so well across the african continent right now? what is driving that look, i think one of the reasons is that, you know, it is an accessible, you know, i'm, for instance, in south africa actually don't have to go into a casino like you do you do it on your mobile phone? yes, the are those that have ugly, it's but one of the biggest driving factors in to get it in south africa is that it's accessible across all or what vices. so that is the for each to grow. but also it's embedded in the sports. i mean, you know, a big sport is,

especially if you see a lot of p people across, across all our sporting i think you've got to you quicker to go deal like be you've got so cut. so it's, it's, it's popular. you know, sports is popular across the world, so in africa, why not? why would it not grow? i'm actually surprised that it took a very long time for sports. they tend to grow in africa. and if you look at it changes, i'm, so my guess to discuss it maybe started picking up in the, in the late ninety's all along sports betting in africa has been really most popular. what has been popular though is our customers are the genius. this idea of sports on the cost, the african content being super popular to that means, does that necessarily mean that gambling then has to be super popular?

well, not an essay says no sir, was to be like that in my opinion. but then these people are, this is this gambling companies, or they have, this is sophisticated marketing. they have this aggressive marketing well by a lake. what i'm going to say, you don't disturb, to get a gambling, a very little gumble and the wherever you're going in the street, you are exposed to some gambling patterns. so it's like they are making is very sophisticated, and we said that people are exposed to gambling everywhere, exposed to gambling, where you are in the streets. when you enter the dentist, you like them out, you will not walk 10 to 30 meters, are about to enter, to meet as well without seeing a billboard for a company like we have remembered as well. what,

what i'm started by the feet. that is, if you and down, if you said to still also people, when i do it, we want you to feel you find that out of it on the to be able to, for gambling. you leave that if you try to see, to check your form to say, let me do some internet, you find it out of it for a gambling on the internet. so you see they have to for up to the sophisticated marketing mechanism. and that has, if you want to get growth of gambling industry, and many people posted in that, you know, african city a, an improvement is very high. so when somebody is exposed to assuming it an opportunity that looks like is going to change the last leg from what that young man will say, they're easy to jump on it. now some get help. let me jump on that for me. i really appreciate my fellow guests if my fellow panelists on these point, because the gambling is something that is, are spreading like wildfire,

it's current is spending, they quantify, it has been spreading before and the root cause has been dot gambling started, or the traditional form of gambling was b because he knows it was maybe these informal, formal, informal beatings in their streets. but it wasn't on the way that we had envisioned, online gambling will bring it to, you had to go there. you had to have time to go there. you had to have time to q to play, you had to have time to q to collect your winnings. all these you had to do it in a, in their space and time that the premises that you are going to is opening. but right now when there we find that our gambling right now is something that you can do with your phone with all, ah, without any restriction. and i, it, it makes it very much a popular and are very much secretive and accessible for people didn't even harder to gamble before even now. so let me give our audience some either some of the big betting companies across the african called to have

a look here on my laptop. i said we got back inc. my gerry, over 160000000. neither one using the a c. c, a bonus feature, but way the best choice for betting. look at the phone it or on the phone. one more here that night as mobile app help you bad on football, and no sound. got us slightly blame kenya and the bullion and passa, which brought banking to your phone, which means that the tech was available for people to. but even if they didn't have a banking, how they can do it so easily. is that an issue with the amount of sport spreading that is happening across the african continent and an uncanny definitely definitely. when you come to mobile money, alicia, is that the way we spend money on in the rural areas did even i used to have any form of banking before. but right now they can hi accessed banking any time that

they want just on their phone. it's as easy to send money as abc saw are the gambling companies also took advantage of that? and you can see that they have put, that they have seamlessly integrated their mobile money with their systems. so that when you deposit the money, it's the immediate and when you read the draw, it's immediate. ok. these also with the sports betting coupled with our passion, you know, that's what we've, we haven't talked about our passion for sports as youths, as young people. our passion has been milk to by, by the companies, and i, this is, it has brought about, i can see a brilliant concussion. that is a safe haven for any gambling activities to continue in there. in africa. i just come in there. i think there's 2 things that i need to pick up on that a 1st of all how marketing

efficient taking pending a context. we've got very strong legislations that actually made sure that you know it perhaps the amount of advertising or marketing by company. but it's, it's, it's actually amazing to say then was with what the regulation and the legislation that tabs, you know, how much a people in the exposure of kids, of people. it's growing less if you can look at your mission. that way, it's one of the most responsible about it. i don't think that they have me actually go on social media and ties. and the key way, i think i'm to entice me longer and they entice a little bit. well, how, how would you describe enticement when you're talking about m a betting company, a gambling company out of how, how do you live in, in k? yeah. yeah, that's actually the one that's 1. 991. i live in for 29 days. yes. so because you want to see if you gamble you,

you can become immediately more so in our context, we've got to what we call that response and we'll get, which is actually what open it is a slab to. they are mostly prevented from advertising and enticing people to say i'm, if you can, will use them in terms of becoming a media. nick is the same as i think this them in our country who had to see, you know, trying to live with the, with the, with, get us. they the interview just because i that you know, when gambling happens, it needs to be a refundable, but that's not to take away the stigma that leads to i think i said one guy, i'm going to bring in the ceo of gamble alert in nigeria because he talks about this narrative is narrative about you, you can when you can when bake, and then genius come up the back of that because i know you want to take us in a different direction. so we're gonna do desire. ok. he has no relation. he's the

ceo of gamble alert, and we spoke to him earlier. this is what he told us. this is messiah bebo gummed in young to fill the origin of africa. a negative one to push the se. gonna create a job opportunity for some person for that either good. i've been, you've learned a young people can live with. and one major issue is that with coming addiction or financially. and therefore, i look forward to those coming off with those policies and turn 2 responsible marketing stop in to iraq to reach his narrative. disco hacks. yeah. well, from that video on the post do said that he has mission to say, hey,

dumping into siblings improvement, well, find out good. yes, it brings improvement. but then i might not know from nigeria perspective. but then from my understanding that we did listen to from the article that to pub you cited you say that the payment that is going to these way cuz we're going to say that paid been commission. so if you have been doing permission, it depends on how many tickets beating tickets that you're sell. so, for example, one targeted one to start bidding. you start inventing as low as any question. so if you sell any quite a tickets, what is it if we're converted to dora is point 0000 cents. if we continue doing it in your store. so assuming somebody says, yes, so maybe $15.00 by the end of the month, they pay and i don't need that come from this a gambling job or not to be now hello. so why don't we have that?

yes, it has created jobs. were financing, but the jobs and they did jobs that couldn't make somebody has survived one to set it. you know, there was even it, some people that a, a gumbo a, that even those that i any brilliant. so you see, yes, i agreed to get involved in bremond, but then they put them in to self. why he does not give. they did admit it, adamant incom. yet, when i go to wilton, cuz i have our voice on each of our eager to get into the conversation, i can make this a speed around announcing your instant reaction to what our audience is, where it's picking up. um, so as a gamble is a must gamble responsibly? i'm not sure if that is an oxymoron. is it now thank when it comes to

responsible gambling? i think the gamblers are the ones who are suffering the button. i to be told that that responsible gambling only lies on their shoulders. but this is not the case. responsible. gambling is an environment created by all the call does. it's a multi faceted environment. that's what i think, where the government should be responsible one. ah, because for the rules and regulations that they put in the enforcement of the rules and regulations to their gambling companies themselves, they should clear that responsible gambling environment. we are the identify at risk people, people who have issues and i said 3 good as methods to make about it to make sure that these people are being looked after and don't spiral into our problem gambling . i have another question. i mean, let me, let me get, let me get back to you to compare us to just participate a rhetoric that quickly. oh yeah, go ahead. thank you very much. another facet of their responsible gimme

a gambling it belongs also to this was that this also had these will be able to, to, to stop the stigma that he talks and accessories personally to school. so if i look at to us portugal or most schools in k, i will find that the harvard school drugs policy, they have an alcohol policy and not, i'm going crazy. i love you. i love that. all right, i think i want to becky's on you chip, i'm going to put this to you said bung delay very quickly again that he says there is need for serious regulation, especially with jen z gamble his thoughts yes. i mean, who has got the laws and it doesn't pay lead to anyone under the age of $18.00 together on any terms of this other and responsible gaming foundation was going to what we cause, taking money wisely. it's a program that we actually take to the schools where we teach people young kids in school about the effective,

the effects of weight on it outside the country is build in a school environment to wake eat. they were beta on every day and grow that would actually adapted to that and behavior. so i can see that there was a kid that at least i know one of the 8 acres of campbell. i'm going to bring him, randolph here. i, randolph, i'm going to play full a you genius and then immediately react of the back of where his largest concerns are. his randolph, contrary to their perception and a promise of an easy and see if we go from making money. these benson establishments have been set up to profit of losses of individuals. they are most charming, see organizations handing out of cash and copied out to the use of africa rather be i here to take from our vulnerable youth, socially a moron by advertising these establishments. we are preaching to our youth to,

for hardwick and excellence in pursuit of fools, paradise well, is it okay from what you're saying? if i mean i'm to put it in this way gambling, it's a game of walk. that's the research and so understand that well, what did gum brings a game of? whoa, are sick even if you lose, but those to give you hope that may be st. i want more tire on lights. are we? yeah. yeah. so you find that it, somebody a will press a bit and lose, and then the net is it a friend wizard? if the when, know, so to maybe next tire, it will be more so government players will feel minute is a game of that. okay. even if you lose this, them don't lose look, look at your friends. they have tried, they have, well,

it will be next. so these gum in governance ignore that g, a our african landscape, largely these young population and the n, but racial, we love things. so they're being so sort of marketing to make you not to leave it in the us, even if you're you for you see that you are losing, but we're not doing well. don't bring you something that is going to make him stay, give you hope that maybe next year, if you say you to be you, but i'm gonna just be up front her. we know that gambling is enticing. the idea is, are you keep going back? you keep going back, and so it's, it's often framed as an leisure activity, not a banking or employment activity. maybe it's on us as citizens to truly truly understand that i have to play a bet king out, which sums up this idea of responsible gambling. and then now thank

you. come off the back of your immediate reactions. let's have a look. ah ah, ah. 3 blue kings. okay. oh, thanks for that. i think that's a, that's a very interesting advertisement. but what i see, what i don't i used to, i'm usually again, it's when it comes to our such advertisements or gambling advertisement. if they shouldn't entice, they shouldn't be put in a way that it's are. it's like sugar courts,

orita it entices maybe because are not what they like. these are kid. we'd have find it very, very interesting. and what that kid is looking at is actually gambling. and i don't know if they just see the name, but can we no government yesterday we we, i me focusing on and i mean only suggesting that they don't treat her. but i mean when i go to collections, i did that to just kill it. so we, we, if the i normally conditions that stops this behavior, then obviously in the us we will build. so i think all white is the relation. it all the governments take accountability and put proper regulations in place to protect the public. but then i think i, i think this is

a good, a lot good on marketing tactic, which is very, very, i can say morally, my site because it's not honest, any advertisement should be honest. and it should be that property, it should be selling whatever it's prop, wanting to sell, not quoted under anything else i think got dizzy on so jessica had to read to me. i'm not able to split it to you and i was just wanting to touch base because i believe your organization and my organization we actually are working on making so that we can make, you know, a test takes we actually engage with the operators. you know, i'm missing it should be conveyed to the public and that means i don't blame it. let me just add, just in case i forgot that you are funded by the betting and gambling organizations

in south africa. that is part of the regulation process. so you are funded by an organizations who actually profit from people gambling. i think that's really important to understanding. that's quite a difficult tightrope for you to walk genius quickly. you are probably going to be the last word in this conversation. gotcha. yeah, yeah, i have a question, did i have a question to you talk about a government, a granting, advertising. how effective is that in your country? because you see we might have a regression on advertising. but dissembling racial, you'll find that you'll say i don't, this is should not be accepted by people under the age of 18, but you find that in the cell be blended edgy. ti i still participating in a gum? how is district in your god was it might be a big,

misty issue that i had to pay. i mean by that, by the, by the open it as they open it. since i don't believe we are wearing a now one minute i show. so i know that the conversation was for spelling to an end . now sentence from these to punk, i go ahead i'm, yeah, i was a very clear in terms of i think. ringback in my getting it should not be me. i'm clearly they do marketing by a circle i. i am no center through you genius a sentence. go ahead. what gum green is a big ac bed. a company called bricks industry. and i need to about his approach to address the problems that are coming with numbering industry. i last spoke, sean sentence will you nelson? all right. minus 2 odds day. you too. yes. enjoy life. have fun.

but at the same day, my duties pointedly retreated south consequences. so stay informed, stay abroad in stay engaged. thank you. thank you. god, thank you. yes, thank you will choose next. how ah with bold. and i'm told stories from asia and the pacific on al jazeera, from breaking down the headlines to exposing the powers attempting to silence reporting. what did you do, what to investigate?

why didn't you ask the extra question? there are many during that said fencer, it will have a chilling effect on subsequent story. the listening post doesn't cover the news. it covers the way the news is covered to suppress moderate. and in some cases, amplify the content. you see, on your time, on the listening on al jazeera, when the news breaks, nationwide strikes in the beginning of the year when people need to be heard. and the story needs to be told. i just want to research deeply and dive into its history and origin, with exclusive interviews and in depth. about korea professionally sees the cherry blossom 1st. al jazeera has teens on the ground to where you award winning documentaries and lives no place. and saigon would say the press retreated of the car about

a media hub and vital vantage point. during the 1st truly televised war from the roof. we could see the regulation at the american embassy, where the most iconic images of the conflict in vietnam were transmitted to the world. this was the front row sheet to the final stages of the war saigon, caravel war hotels. on al jazeera. ah sedans, rival generals, extend to cease fire, but fighting can still be heard in parts of the capital and door for and we will be live in chad where tens of thousands of sudanese have fled out to 2 weeks of violence. ah, i'm cyril van. yeah, it's great to have you with us. this is al jazeera ally from dough also coming up for a.
