africa is in berlin it's right by ground stop us paralyze nairobi. east africa's busiest on wednesday check in stuff tanker crews and other personnel went on a twelve hour strike to protest the planned takeover of the airport by a loss making national carrier kenya airways the government sent in riot police to quell the war costs will go to our correspondent in nairobi for the latest in a moment but first this report. clouds of tear gas drove strikers away but also passengers many which were already stranded include us about their next flight the result was injuries among both groups and outrage among airport staffers are already convinced that the new owner kenya airways is bad news the company came close to collapsing in two thousand and seventeen needing a bailout stay aloft. you can't allow a collapse in company like kenya airways to take over kenya airports authority kenya airports authority makes around eleven billion per year kenya airways loses

seven billion per year how can a company losing seven billion oversea another that is making between ten and eleven billion per year. simply put employees here for your job losses and so they paralyze the airport a major hub for east africa and an economic engine for nairobi for twelve hours kenya's government show little sympathy for the action nobody has. nobody has given us that your job you'll be at risk and the if you want to stay you will be given assurances that the numbers are going up and doesn't blame it and you still go on strike that is. it is. it is what you going to accept it is something which cannot be thought it'd it is given to give it to. the airport ended the strike in its own fashion turning operations over to the kenyan military flights have resumed but the conflict with the airport employees continues. well on the

joy. what's the latest on the strike. well the latest so far. have hired and it has been reported that eleven of the shores of the kenya have you should walk as you now have been arrested but you know as far as the flights are concerned this situation is starting to ease slowly and of course the action has been called off that is the strike and what we are seeing as well is that passengers are being are asked to call the airlines and find out what time the a flights are because they are trying to normalize and get back to business as usual at at the airport and considering that the jockeying at the international airport is the biggest edwards not just in kenya but across the east and africa. tell us more about the background to this walkout

well the walkout is basically about the jump in security by the beach and what is union because the teeth hold of the judging at international airport by kenya airways is being received with mixed feelings because they think that the airport is still going to be mismanaged considering the not very good financial history of kenya airways having experienced some losses the past few years most of the workers think that kenya airways would not be able to manage the airport that well and of course these that yeshu kenya airways owing jumping out to international airport about forty million u.s. dollars in and paid parking fees at the airport and saw the whole stand of these about the workers trying. as well. dr raber and they're all before us thank you. phil asia is the showcase country at the i.t.v. tourism fair in

a controversial choice and he was making headlines recently for an to semitism and discrimination of homosexuals with official government backing in january the government said it would stop posting sports events with israeli participants and from mr monti mohamad said homosexuality was part of western values and that he doesn't want those values forced on malaysians. a south east asian paradise is how malaysia is presenting itself at the i.d.b. berlin. but the muslim majority country faced criticism in the run up to the fair over attending of jews in l g b t q people accusations the country's tourism minister rejects. us. you know they're coming over and we're never asking them what the issue. orientation you know. what we want to know only coming. to luis. malaysia realise above all on the

so-called while tourism the number of muslim tourists is increasing from year to year in total the industry marks new records every year one point four billion people worldwide travel abroad in two thousand and eighteen this brought in trillions in revenues around the globe china has sent the most tourists abroad but the most popular destinations are in europe. but mass tourism is also causing more and more problems in many places for example so-called over tourism in places like dubrovnik. cruise ships with air masses of tourists are especially problematic. the first in two thousand and eighteen the sexy they chose to organize. the buses coming to deal city centers and we succeeded to have much think without any day of congestion in the city. the climate cost of tourism is also a topic at the i t v. so our human rights questions as organizers gear up for next

year's fair with partner country oman. correspondent is with me right now she's been at the i t v all day today how big of an issue was this homophobia scandal in relation to malaysia today was that it was a big topic well i mean if you go through the holes obviously the countries are trying to sell themselves the issue of malaysia as one obviously that doesn't affect only malaysia other countries are in the same situation and of course the something they'd like to sweep under the carpet not really sort of highlight because obviously it's an issue that is controversial and they want to attract whoever they can attract as you know malaysian tourism minister told himself he said we don't care if someone is gay as long as they don't tell us we just care that they are tourists they want their money and they don't want them to behave as they would please that's basically the message and i think the same might apply to other countries as well so this isn't an issue that once we talked about the different stands there. tourism of course is

a major economic factor across many african nations you've walked the halls of r.g.b. all day today. what was your impression who was always making their presence felt that well in terms of growth things are changing in terms of in north africa there's a lot of growth there there's been a lot of issues in the past in terms of tourism going down especially in egypt and tunisia the reasons for going to slay and that's been an issue so people sort of stop looking trips to those countries but that has changed sold the experience of growth but sub-saharan africa's. also experiencing a lot of growth as well and one thing that experts are saying is contributing to that is of course just the whole potential africa is remains still largely unexplored in terms of tourism the only attract you know a certain type of tourist who has a lot of money but is not too many of those and there's a lot of misinformation but that is changing of course with the internet and a lot of people informing themselves so a lot of potential is

a lot does of those growth happening in africa but there's also a lot of potential so that's where they expect to see a lot of growth africa is also the second largest market for tourism in the world after asia so that's one reason in terms of growth in that's the reason why it might grow even more you've been great thank you very much. well tourism is also the economic live blood of the seychelles but the roughly one hundred islands off the east coast of africa have an increasing problem with plastic waste the beach is increasingly spoiled by pollution now the island nations ministry of environment has banned imports of single use plastic straws into the country and a total ban is set to follow in june. gorgeous beaches and plastic waste even though it's not immediately obvious. where it's headed in the bushes for one a lot gets caught up here when the tide goes out the young lawyer who funded the ocean project to fight back against the plastic onslaught.

it got to the point where every time with good to be carried i could bring bin bags over the bags with dance and would end up leaving with full bags and so it was just that frustration of this seeing so much later. zara organizers regular beach cleaning sweeps especially after a beach party at times the team can recover as much as two hundred kilograms of plastic rubbish and just on our. shelves survives on tourism and that generates crush this hotel is trying hard to avoid plastic it's cocktail straws made of paper no there are no plastic straws left. the government has already banned the import of plastic straws this year their cereal will come under a total ban as well. but the problem is not restricted to tourist centers. plastic

is also coming ashore a thousand kilometers away from the main island. one of the biggest coral atolls in the world home to many threatened species the u.n. says one hundred thousand marine creatures perish as a direct result of plastic pollution every year. i think we realized from the start that us coming out monthly on the beach and cleaning up isn't going to you know make a huge dent in the amount of plastic going out there but i think we wanted to find that with education so that we could educate people about this problem and also get them to start making changes in the baby died so. switch away from single use plastics that are really just not necessary the ocean project efforts continue in the hope of eventually reducing plastic pollution because the people of the seychelles have long understood that their paradise is very fragile. for
