more than just posing for the cameras and giving speeches. and what's it like to be mistaken for a whale's life to get a firsthand account from the south african diver who had an out of this wild encounter with the beast off the ocean. and christine when go well come to deja vu news africa and gadgets today in the climate change movement started by the swedish teenager had great touch in but has seen schoolchildren from all over the world walcot of calls on fridays in protest aimed at bringing attention to climate change in uganda a group of students held a demonstration in solidarity with the movement in the capital kampala now because of strict lol as in uganda on public protests they were restricted as. to how far

they could go from the school but the students weren't made the best of the situation. i spoke. with a student championing the hash tag fridays for future in uganda i asked her why she decided to become an activist for the environment way of to say that to become when they were meant to was because when they and saw what ghetto us chain to play in her country i was so the change in plate change again to and they said it was really a bad cause. the outcomes first train to go to outcomes uganda is expressing very now in climate change so i would say that. yeah ok so great it was an inspiration for you but talk to us about the challenges in uganda what are the climate challenges in your country.

the challenges you then there's expression now is the frustration there's a lot of deforestation there's a lot of visitors week a show. from grain each they say that this is really affecting ground there this is really affecting my fellow student that some of them went on to ingrain to a school. so there are lots of their lot of changes uganda is experiencing now ok so what is you'll you'll miss people in uganda who don't think that climate change is an urgent matter what is your message to them. my message to them is that when they say that cutting down trees it's not affecting that. when they cut down trees they're going to leave us. that is they're going to send in for to will they give the event they want. i'm giving them them to say that

they may day because they want to make good on just because they want to want but they're affecting someone else's lay some one instance future believing that so. does a trick a shown things they grab so they should know things knowing when they. say thank you lee and i will get with the student championing the hash tag fridays full feature in uganda thank you ok now staying on the subject of climate change here's a not so fun fact for you germany a country with significantly less sun than virtually any country in africa generates more solar power than the whole continent combined so it's really no surprise that leaders gathered at the one planet summit in kenya said africa needs more money and science to protect it from climate change at the summit billions of

dollars were committed to the cause is kenya's president who kenyatta climate change continues to be a major threat to sustainable development worldwide its impact place is disproportionately every button the poor and vulnerable we must therefore integrate climate action and sustainable development in our collective efforts to achieve the objectives and other part of the greenland of the twenty thirty agenda for sustainable development. i'll be talking to the un's assistant secretary general about that one planet summit in nairobi in a moment but first to a group of kenyan environmentalist going to great lengths to raise awareness about the harmful effects of plastic tables an entire boat out of plastic waste to highlight the importance of recycling. the good ship flipflop you 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. recycled plastic us there was so much crying about the plastic. we feel responsibility eight million tons 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 bard 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 is

a 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. the u.n. is one of the co-chairs off the one planet savage and joining me now from nairobi is such a thing he is the un's assistant secretary general he's also the head of the new york office at u.-m. vironment welcome to africa mr tripathi we've been talking to youngsters taking part in the fried. as for future movement you attended one of those protests in nairobi today but i wanted you to talk to whether or not you're satisfied with the outcome of the summit you've got youngsters out on the streets you've got politicians in a room can you deliver concrete solutions for these young people well i think the young people who are. on the streets for the right reasons and they should do more

of it if you ask me. and primarily because it is their future we are talking about . and it is their generation that needs to take responsibility for what has happened you could learn from our generation that has not been very responsible in its behavior here we have created the planet i mean we're talking about a continent that's only responsible for four percent of global greenhouse emissions we sometimes hear some leaders on the continent talk about the fact that this is not a problem we've created and so those that have created the problems should be the ones to commit the resources to fix it what is your message to leaders who speak like that. well i think you know the i wouldn't argue with them because these are a sovereign countries with responsibilities and they have their views which is perhaps rooted in the facts as they see it but what i would say is that the time

to change our practices our behavior and the time to become sustainable is now and i would urge those leaders to not be led by the destructive policies of other countries and other governments that have seen large scale devastation of natural resources and that has literally brought the planet to the level of bankruptcy or not are a source bankruptcy that it faces now so there's nothing to learn there is there are lessons to draw and i urge all those leaders to step back and see the facts for what they are and chart out a very different path with the right notes right message about it very quickly if you could money has been committed here money has been pledged and it's not unusual a lot of these summits this is what tends to happen but how can we can we be sure of the fact that this money is actually going to go to the places that it's it's said it's going to be going to. i think it's about creating

a partnerships it's about realising the potential of new ideas and there is no dearth of money we have for too long focused on public finances that is governments contributing or a set of governments contributing for a set of countries that are in need of it whereas i think the true promise lies in mobilizing private finance for public good and in that you know just to give an example of the pension funds of the word. together man is about eighteen trillion dollars if even five percent of those resources were channelized into sustainable development and climate sensitive agriculture climate smart agriculture i think the world will change right i don't think there is any doubt of resources it is just the lack of imagination such a three party the un's assistant secretary general thank you and now we bring you the story of the man who was almost just swallowed by

a whale which is seen in the picture behind me is a diver by the name of raina shem caught in the jaws of a bride's whale this happened along the southern coast of south africa while he was filming sharks feeding his ship on how he survived and what he thinks we can learn from his experience. what happened was it suddenly got dark and i felt some pressure by him and being pushed forward and only then i realized a whale had grabbed me but you can't panic. room for panic you always have to become and i think i did the right thing otherwise we would be able to own. as we lift on that very day from port elizabeth harbor we drove about thirty nautical miles south into the indian ocean and we found a baseball of birds feeding on fish so i started adjusting my camera and start taking pictures of sharks going through the ball of fish and then out of the sun without any further notice from my lift side something grippy and push me through

the water and i realized instantly that it must be a whale it got picked like and dark and only then i started my thinking process in terms of it was more a reaction process because i knew you can't swallow me so most likely it will dive down all my breath and fortunately this gentle giant realized very quickly that i was nice prey and he pushed me out again with the water in his throat once i realized it was a whale and that i could still think i had no fear whatsoever but there was also no time for there was only time for reaction what it actually shows is the whale instantly really realized his mistake and imagine how it would have been a big piece of plastic it would have swallowed me and at the end of the day he would have died now we are able as humans to prevent plastic in the sea and this is what we must do we must help these creatures to survive and this is the message

which goes out of the. i believe that they if he is africa you can catch all our stories on our website and our facebook page we leave you now with more pictures from the first friday's will feature protests in uganda and kenya next time i bike . path to the terms of. the flame the teams are giving their time so to speak are going to come. tomorrow today looks at the big picture. we look down from high above the earth. and clear far out into space. what are the images we find tell us about a planet and the people that live on and. join us on an interesting.
