two billion people. immediately. and now. this is the news africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes deals we'll hear from the malagasy fishermen who say they're being bullied by chinese products we'll tell you why a billion dollar fishing deal with china has drawn a lot of critics. and some of the world's most dangerous cities all in africa will meet and who is trying to make these crime ridden neighborhood in kenya safe but. then we'll see how some pioneering wind pro is in the democratic republic of congo

making the most of the first salt lake evil. i'm christine one welcome to news africa i'm glad you're cheated in the island off medic aska has some of the richest fishing stocks in africa and for good this maritime wealth has been the main names of subsistence for small scale fisherman but now there is a new player competing for the catch last year the government signed a billion dollar fishing deal with china which will see more chinese vessels like these fishing on the western coast slide off madagascar now local fishermen are worried for their livelihoods they say they are already challenge by changing weather patterns and that they caught competes with chinese. i fish

human in a cow holds in his net the small community in southwestern mother has been fishing like this for generations. but now their way of life is under threat several huge chinese fishing trawler started casting their nets off the shore of on a cow last year for local fishermen with their small wooden boats can't compete with this industrial fishing operation. it's bad for us it's tough competition because the chinese nets a huge. they're helping catch many fish as for me i'm just using a small net i can't get that many fish. and they fear it will get much worse the former government signed a two point seven billion dollars deal with china granting china fishing rights the details of that deal are unclear and that has people worried. and fishermen are among the most worried they fear the industrial scale trolling will result in

overfishing and the fish docks and minish their livelihoods will be at risk. if this goes on with all these trawlers coming here. where will the fisherman go then nothing else them fishing up there is. a community that makes its living from the sea a saving into an uncertain future. ok we go over to kenya now way security experts in the country say one in five people has been attacked while walking along the streets of the capital nairobi in fact the u.s. overseas security advisory council ranks nairobi among africa's ten most dangerous cities locals are they getting fed up with the situation and some have decided to take masses of security into their own hands you're about to meet and gangster who's changed his ways and is now how helping to make his neighborhood safer. we

decided to go to one of nairobi slum areas mothery here and security is an everyday reality we can only from here with the protection of the local youths one of them david is a former gang member at fourteen he dropped out of school and was lured into crime with your own people at night slept during the day and paid a high price most of my friends and i. have a study group both have. yeah but. after seventy two i just to me three so we robbed a lot. of my friends went down body. then all over the city meaning just me. david left his life of crime several years ago today he and other used are trying to make the neighborhood safe and. we have the security oh it is either so we have to. make these please leave us a little thing with the police he's like i was here to see he's got the north right

that's all that you. are you are not the boy comes from mine so we will be out of this becoming that seem to believe that good. just beat him up for warning. david and his friends have taken the law into their own hands since the police have failed to provide security. and as long as that works well the police let them go ahead but that's not always a good idea. if you go to places like my very good friend that are certain hours of the night people can't move because now the area is under the control of of all of the criminal gangs and what has for what has happened now is that members of the public of now been forced to form their own we didn't lose because they don't trust the police the police refused to speak to us but residents told us that there aren't enough police to patrol the area and they do come they're known to use force and can often tell the difference between criminals and isn't

bystanders. where you can see a tank where. that is the courts court the abilities of those places the courts work so if you if you are young. you like me and they fight you around then probably be a real rescue or start firing at you. there needs to be a dialogue between the police and the community the youths tell us. once in a while such dialogues take place there is even an office to report police brutality but the problem has become too big says tobias. he is a youth leader with the local n.g.o.s get a foundation. they have to give the youth an opportunity to change not just killing them if we can we can have a police station in the community and the police know that i had to buy. a

marquee or not because. we meet with them each and every day we are we live and they believe among us and we want to live among the david got help through get a foundation now he wouldn't go back to crime he met new people and get by doing odd jobs the distrust between the police and the community rages on although he still doesn't trust the police he believes that a higher police presence would help reduce crime i live my life i love i can go to and they know that one is a. real. thing for you of using something to send you to have for tobiason david it's about building trust and having police who listen to the community in their eyes that would make the area safe and ok we've got another story coming out of kenya for you a plastic waste is becoming an ever bigger problem so now in many african countries people are realizing that recycling is a must and in kenya

a group of environmentalists took to the sea in a boat that looks like a traditional doll but it's made entirely from recycled plastic waste. the good ship flip floppy set sail on a mission it's the first sailing vessel built completely out of plastic waste incorporating around thirty thousand flip flops and other garbage the team took two years and ten tons of plastic. to build this ten meter vessel on lamu island off the kenyan coast we had this dream of being recycled plastic us. so much crying about the plastic. we feel responsibility eight million tonnes of plastic waste end up in the world's oceans every year and some of it makes landfall here in kenya this group of environmental activists want to change that they collected garbage and raised money to build the guard they even have the support of the united nations program to combat climate

change it seems so simple to me it's so obvious the motivation is just to share something positive we wanted to have a colorful beautiful message and that's what the flip flopper is it's really clear positive message about plastic being valuable. and aside from floating a message to save the environment so far flip floppy has managed swimmingly on a five hundred kilometer voyage from lamu to zanzibar. isn't that something well it's not unusual for someone to associate the democratic republic of congo with war and political tension in fact the country's dark reputation often belies the beauty found in its a lush rain forest volcanoes and of course now on an island in the middle of the lake a group of friends have come up with what some would call a crazy idea that's making wine. scenically key one of the african great lakes on the motor boat however aren't tourists out to post pictures

in their social media accounts but in germany south african team with high hopes to grow wine in the congo the island of doug will be the testing ground six hundred vine stocks were packed in limited cases and flown in from europe they will be planted on three small fields. plants are growing incredibly quickly we planted them in march as soon as the stem is a bit stronger cut it off about here then you shoot will sprout and they should have grapes on them. the idea to grow wine in the island had been gestating for years when the german amateur. heard about it he fell in love with the idea. people hear about the congo they so see a ball and war especially in european countries but if you look around it is gorgeous here a paradise but there was never any fighting on this island for example and that's

part of our concept we thought we could do something right here that would combine pleasure in the senses. five congolese from the neighboring islands are part of the team they are learning how to cultivate wine. the europeans benefit from the locals knowledge of the climate like evil this could become a profitable relationship. we hope there is peace sometime soon. but despite the instability in this area we can still try and make wine here in order to help our country move forward. if. they even have a logo for the wine assuming of course that their work comes to fruition easier said than done every trip is an adventure in and of itself living conditions on the island are rustic with no running water and no electricity but there is a great view of the volcanoes national park. that will hopefully balance out all the vagaries of this project like. nibbling at the plants and the family of apes

living on the island who may will grow fond of the grapes but if it all works out the volcanic soil in this island will bring forth a very special drop of wine from. the place where it comes from which means the wind from here will have a full body rich in concentrated because that is what the terroir and the climate. the first grapes are expected in the coming months then we'll know whether red wine from the congo was a good idea worth pursuing or just a pile in the sky. so that's it for now from africa you can catch all our stories on our website add facebook page we need views today with images of traditional fishermen in africa for many of them being livelihoods are being threatened by change and with the passing and industrial of official advice for now. the full.

let's. take a closer look at modern culture from. culture. to. extravagant.

really know their stuff. which feels good and to finish. the party and chat with solutions from around the world. groups every week. this is a wash with a great and good of the movie business so you can guess what a big part of culture has in store today. yes this year's berlin international film festival is under way here in the german capital we'll find out what's happening on the ground from our very own david leavitt's. bonnets

made for inspire a foam and dresses embellish with bubble wrap the work of a dutch artist who's turns packaging into renaissance koester. but of course we get underway with the bourbon and something which precedes the actual opening film the so-called march of the gladiators that's the introduction of the jury to the international press seventeen films are in the competition for the golden bear and this year the president of the jury is none other than the french star juliette binoche who had this to say about there being a lot of female directors in competition this year. well when i spoke with the task he said to me i'm very happy that we have seven films of women directors this year and he said i didn't select them because they're women because they're great films so i think that's a good step forward.
