a report from bob orr where many families have had. rain damage to their houses. and on the international day against homophobia. acts of the efforts to break down discrimination against gays and lesbians bemused and. old new guy we meet at the prison for years turning the other rubbish into snazzy sandals in cameroon. i'm christine when the welcome to news africa i'm glad you're tuned in at least 15 people have died in mali's capital bamako loft flash flood struck the city destroying homes and property the government's ses teams have been deployed to rescue those left homeless and has urged caution from residents but the residents

themselves say all floors he's have been slow to react in a country susceptible to flooding. the floodwaters came when these people were sleeping they didn't have chance to think about saving their possessions the trencher rain falling overnight in bamako in the space of just 5 hours. these women were lucky to escape with their lives some didn't. we lost all our stuff the water take everything away everything we had 4 people died in our family. people here are blaming local authorities for the flood damage they say rubbish was left to build up that cloaked drains in rivers preventing the flood water from flowing away. government ministers have visited the area many are critical of what they see as a whole planning and

a poor response after all the start of the rainy season is relatively predictable. for me this is a warning for us residents the government only comes after the damage is done and. we need to protect lives and we need to be cleaner. because of the rubbish that overflowed into the river. but nothing more than. the ministers who came promise to send vehicles to drive us somewhere for the night. they say they'll do everything they can we're just here waiting for that phone signal. bamako with its 3 and a half 1000000 people it's one of the world's fastest growing cities along with the people comes a trail of rubbish this is the consequence of the government's failure to deal with waste residents' left to clean up the mess. ok today is the international day against homophobia it's

a day that activists used to raise awareness of rights violations against the gay lesbian and bisexual community in africa 35 countries have laws punishing homosexual acts ranging from life imprisonment in gambia and tens india and the death penalty in countries like sudan and somalia in recent years many governments on the continent have been accused of supporting the persecution off homosexuals one of those is uganda where amnesty international says the country's community is commonly harassed and silenced by the government and police now we're going to talk to an l g b t campaign an advocate they in a moment but 1st let's listen to what people on the streets of kampala have to say about homosexuality the government of uganda should create a safe space for people who have the traits of homosexual homosexuality those be uneasy and all those work maybe maybe korea but i think they should create for them

where other people see problems civil society activists christian newquay see solutions he has local youth school like the old tires providing a purposeful activity for the young people because the scrap tires are considered a raw material for new products. a lot of people culturally believe it just has to be so we are also using these are sort of what he did to say is that is there that we can give to these tires which would be more doable which would not affect our environment. the tires are transported to a business partner about 20 miles outside. it's a prison here in mates who refer to themselves as prison for new ores produce sandals out of the old tires it takes about 4 hours to make one pair and 7 flip flops can be made out of a normal size tire we're not allowed to interview the prisoners but the project is

seen as an opportunity for rehabilitation and it's helping solve an environmental problem at the same time you know engagement in prisons we saw the process of transforming thai is firstly as an effort to protect the environment as an effort to support you know the global conversation on climate change and we saw the inmates in prison as the 1st community we can talk because a lot of people abandon them but they have time they need people to give them an opportunity to transform. eventually the rubber tires become fashionable professional looking products christian he helps to market them under the prison brand creative skills for peace a project for young violent offenders they're sold internationally for around $35.00 euros a pair the inmates receive more than 50 percent of the profit the rest is divided between the prison and the state. we want to build a big market because it's part of the called the ground which is the branding of the products that we produce from prisons and we're hoping that you know

nationalities. we're hoping that this young people in prison is able to be financially empowered and have the need to be able to you know make a life out of these. the sandals are also available here in cameroon of course for somewhat less than on the international market christian personally seeks out customers slowly the locals are buying the idea of eco friendly items made by prisoners. it's one of a product and i love it and the reason for that because like ahead is. the freezing business meetings so you know we used to push them to have the police cannot. see. the tires to send a project was driven by a passion for his dedication and efforts christian nicky made the 2017 africa youth awards the last of the 100 mo.
