gambell a region refugees number almost as many as ethiopians about four hundred thousand like this camp is home to sixty thousand traumatised who fled fighting in south sudan. when the war erupted in south sudan children were set on fire and many others were abducted. the soldiers even killed blind people. people were forced to eat dead bodies and have sexual intercourse with family members. boys were forced to have sex with their mothers. this trauma will not be forgotten. in the bed room and her family feel safe in this camp it's supposed to be a temporary home but they've been here for four years already without permission to work outside the camp she fears the future looks dim. when my

welcoming off refugees because many arriving from south sudan are from the same group but its u.p.s. apnic and work say they feel threatened. many of these refugees come from south sudan they're straining our resources we are getting poorer so the government should help us to if not there could be clashes with the refugees. here in the city the new prime minister has promised opportunities for everyone refugees and locals but unemployment is very high in the region especially among young people. we don't see any improvement regarding the youth. there are no jobs we're trying to get ahead on our own. but we don't get very far. playing pool costs five or twenty us

bears this but residents of a remote russian arctic island into panic mode officials in the siberian regions have declared a state of emergency saying the aggressive bears have left them inundated as the ice melts and novaya them way of the bears have been drawn to settlements like belushi guba where more than fifty polar bears have been sighted in recent weeks. our reporter matthew moore has been following this story and joins me now matthew how bad is the situation well for the two thousand residents living there it's pretty frightening not least because somewhere between six and ten bears have moved into the community and they've been attacking people there's been reports that you're walking into buildings and one instance of a dramatic that you ever seen probably in the hallways of a residential apartment where there are problems takes a look in one of the proms and scoffers clearly looking for some food and another

video of there is a wonder between two apartment buildings and a man in wanders up to the bare kind of confronting the danger and remarkably comes of comes of relief from the ends of the unharmed what's being done about this well officials there say that the only tried and tested methods of fending off these polar bears no longer work that's the kind of the vehicle patrol the dog patrols. video that was posted online last year late last year kind of showed the extent of that kind of the bear presence in the region scavenging around the landfill say on locals are saying this is basically proof that they're emboldened like never before . yesterday declaring a state of emergency in the region administrator said that people were scared to take children to nurseries the daily life was in turmoil. and so far. the environmental agency has said that there are i mean there's the officials there

they would like a call possibly the can find another solution environmental agencies have said bears are endangered there will be no call anyone shooting the beer will face punishment. what's causing this. pretty unusual situation well in the big picture is global climate change is playing havoc with the bears hunting grounds in a sense climate change has left the bears homeless and nasa has kind of visualized this over the last four decades i mean. each decade there's been a rate of depletion of the arctic ice melt at ten percent and so places where the bears can go hunt for seals and fish no longer exist and so they're forced to stay on land hunt for food in human settlements and and what's happening is that you're seeing more of these confrontations between residents and siberia and tons of environmental agencies are like agents or there's a delegation is going there moment. i'm going to look at all that that the scale of

the problem and what can be done to solve it with our killing any bears all of the following the story of matthew thank you very much that that for the time being there's more news at the top of the hour in the meantime don't forget you can get all the latest on our web site that d.w. dot com thanks for watching. raring to read. not everyone who writes books asked to go and say. you literature list or german austrian it's. fiction right to continue. to. really know the story.
