this is news africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes deals we'll hear from the fishermen who say they're being bullied by chinese trawlers 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. is trying to make crime ridden neighborhood in kenya safer. then we'll see how some pioneering wind crew is in the democratic republic of congo are making the most of the first. evil. i'm christine welcome to news africa i'm glad you're to. the island of madagascar has some of the richest fishing stocks in africa and for you this maritime wealth has been the main means 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 the 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. a fisherman in a cow holds a news 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. the local fishermen with their small wooden boats can't compete with this industrial fishing operation. because it's bad for us it's tough competition because the chinese nets are 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 fisherman are among the most worried they fear the industrial scale trolling will result in overfishing and the fish stocks of 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 sailing into an uncertain future. ok we go over to kenya now where 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 my very hear and security as an everyday reality we can only film 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 during the day and paid a high price most of my friends died. the study group both have. yeah but. after seventy two i just i mean three so rob

a lot. of my friends went down. in our own city meaning just me. david left his life of crime several years ago today he and other used to trying to make the neighborhood safer. because if you feel as if it's either so we hope you'll. make us police chief us without you knowing the police you've got to feel like we see these you have been on the right that's all you. are you are not the boy comes from whatever we will be out of this becoming that seem to believe that good. really we 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 are 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 town where. that is the court's court the abilities of those but that place is of course what 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. the needs to be a dialogue between the police and the community the youth 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 you 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 too by as a map you or not because. we meet with them each and every day we are we live. among us and we live among you 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 love my life i love goodness and they know that whenever. i'm working. for you

i'm using something to save you to have for tobias and david it's about building trust and having police who listen to the community in their eyes that would make the area safer for me ok we've got another story coming out of kenya for you a plastic waste is becoming an ever bigger problems 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 of a garbage the team took two years and ten tons of plastic. to build this ten metre 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 board 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 flop 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 her five hundred kilometer voyage from mood 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 stock reputation often belies the beauty found in its a lush rain forest the 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. so uniquely one of the african great lakes on the motor boat however aren't tourists out to post pictures on their social media accounts but a german italian 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 shoots will sprout and they should have

grates 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 here about the congo they saw a bowl and war especially in european countries but if you look around it is gorgeous here a paradise 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 there 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 a wine has to resemble 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 they'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 web site add the facebook page should we leave yesterday with images of some traditional fishermen in africa many of them they live in france and by changing weather patterns and industrial efficient ifs.
