12:23 pm
to 70 percent and many people here both really cannot afford to do that. and if we have more and more refugees concentrating in this community, you expect to, you expect things to get harder for the local community. and probably you will see some flight points or some flights of disagreements or even conflict between the locals and the new arrivals. med address reporting from adria in the near the border with the dent. thank you very much. a conference underway in the ivory coast aims to present space exploration as the key to unlocking social and economic transformation in african countries. the goal is to make space programs a larger priority across the continent. nicholas hack reports, senegalese astrophysicist saw muscle eyes searching for solutions to some of africa's most pressing challenges. but looking into space is not enough. she says, yeah, elliot on it. i would like to go to space because if i can go to space,
