the rainy season came late this year by the pharmacy having to splash out on their own well just. floating assets so a mom created his her real tarceva top of plastic boxes and why he's now looking at the possible death penalty for. his business africa. the international labor organization says some three and a half billion people around the world have a job though conditions and pay vary and almost the according to region and gender and holding down a job doesn't mean that you are actually earning enough to live in sub-saharan africa a comparatively large number of women are actually in work while three quarters of the men in the region have a job so do sixty four percent of women that may not sound good but it's a far higher percentage than the rest of the world where fewer than fifty percent of women are in the labor force but secure jobs are scarce and women have to

struggle with that insecurity far more than men a third of working women work for a family company do things like setting its products at the market only sixteen percent of men work for their families businesses but in this form of work the particular in particular that tends to be very precarious and liable to financial expert taishan social security like in europe is practically nonexistent let's bring in our correspondent george are in barrow in nairobi joy why is that in africa so many more women are working than in other parts of the world. well there are reasons for that and that could be explained by the nature or the roles that women play across the african continent in fact they resist study that says that women in africa how the highest share of want to bring their is across the world but their business is having to be small businesses and small scale

activities that they are involved in and therefore they're less profitable and made to yet more work expectant of the women across africa so this means that women actually have to literally beg for a seat at the table is there any public realisation that women in the workplace are disadvantaged in sub-saharan africa are people are not politicians aware yes politicians are aware and we are a number of countries not just in not just kenya but around the african continent that i trying to embed this in the law to try help achieve gender equality because the gender inequality is really white but what we're seeing now in countries like rundown we are seeing more women being involved even in politics in the legislature as well as other managerial positions women have also being brought into boardrooms

and being given. positions as board directors but then they are still a lot of strides that need to be made for this to be. for us to actually say that we have achieved gender equality it might take some years but a lot of progress has been made in terms of women now being able to access more education as well. being the key word what about education are girls being sent to school in sub-saharan africa in the same way that boys are. well that's a tricky question because over the past date and more girls have been having access to education and while the gap is still very wide of course for it is being given to the boys but now we are seeing more organized asians coming out and helping the girls who come from disadvantaged families who can't afford to pay their own tunisian to schools and getting them education also we are seeing girls who have

jumped out of school being a real entity either into spaces or back into school to help them achieve financial independence for them to be able to have collateral sure all of the future and this we can actually say has has really made a difference in in helping to achieve our this bridge the gap between the boys and girls who are going to school to help them achieve a much brighter future is still a very wide but definitely a lot of progress has been meat to n.p.r. in nairobi thank you very much a police in algeria have arrested the country's richest man and four billion brothers from the powerful can enough family thought to have links to up the losses put a fake i would step down as president earlier this month following weeks of protests against his rule put enough brothers are accused of using insider influence to obtain unlawful advantages family as business interests in

a range of areas from agriculture to civil engineering here eskom author of various army chief viral to crack down on government corruption. and zimbabwe access to drinking water is still a big problem for wide swathes of the population live stocks and crops and agriculture also suffering this year a late onset rainy season has exacerbated the problem even in cities drinking water is becoming scarce and those who can afford it are looking for their own solution underground. water is scarce even in urban zimbabwe every day twenty water trucks like these leave the borehole clinic in the capital harare to ferry out supplies it's a lucrative business the state is unable to get enough water to the populations in many places people only get fresh water once or twice a week frustration is rife. still more to should be easily accessible to everyone

but we have to use it sparingly because it's hard to come by. the reason the borehole clinic has such easy access to a large fresh supply of water is simple company specializes in constructing wells. on the outskirts of harare has splashed out on bore hole since then water has not been a problem the harvest is plentiful two tons of tomatoes a week. it's a showcase example for borehole clinics managing director. of the economic situation as challenging as where and is no need for us to sit back and whine abort it cause it's not going away and it's come how can it change anything with this realisation we have created solutions that provide on says to the current what it's sure to do is in zimbabwe. but those solutions don't come cheap this unit cost ten thousand u.s. dollars it's affordable for larger firms but not so much for residents in many

parts of harare borehole clinic wants to drill there as well but it doesn't have a mandate from the city authorities that means that constantly flowing fresh water remains is simply a dream here. and now to some of the other news business news across the world the white house has announced the end of waivers for countries to import iranian oil to the u.s. has reimposed sanctions against iran last year threatening to punish any country that buys iranian oil though it granted iran's aides main buyers of all waivers to the sanctions allowing them limited for purchases for six months the countries affected are china india italy greece japan south korea taiwan and turkey which already said it would not not respect the sanctions or the prices rallied by about three percent on the news brant crude is hovering around the seventy four dollars mark per barrel there are fears that removing the sanctions waivers would reduce

all supply from a market that is already tight but u.s. officials say any shortfall can be picked up by other countries as the u.s. itself and saudi arabia recently increased production. the trumpet ministration has issued a blunt warning to nations buying oil from iran after may second there will be no exceptions to sanctions norway various nations that continue to buy uranium oil will be made to suffer more we're going to zero going to zero across the board we will continue on for sanctions and monitor compliance any nation or entity interacting with iran should use its diligence and err on the side of caution the risks are simply not going to be worth the benefits pump a go said the u.s. had granted enough time for the affected countries to wean themselves off a rainy and oil and find alternative suppliers. before washington re-impose

sanctions against iran last year to run produced around two point three million barrels of oil per day that's around five percent of global i pushed until now washington had granted some importing nations waivers on the oil sanctions china and india are the biggest buyers of rainy and crude recently they've stepped up their purchases along with south korea italy and greece on the other hand if managed to cut their demand turkey had been fighting until the last moment for sanctions waiver extension. pump ale went on to say that there would be no grace period for those economies to comply despite sanctions iran's oil exports are said to have increased around twelve percent by the end of march but it's hard to say how accurate that figure is iran conceals the exact in mind by making good use of its armada of oil tankers the second largest fleece in the world.
