and you know what it's time no voice is part. of the 77 percent to talk about the issue. this is where you. are 77 percent this weekend on d w. this is the news africa coming up in the next 15 minutes that has one malawi's you mention that's best bound to the outcry the opposition say is they were serious irregularities so was the scene action free and fair. to crash into treasure and helping the environment well as we meet the gotten a and creative inspiration from discarded wait. until noon. to take over the week but. more on and results.
5:16 am
i'm christine wonderwall come to africa i'm glad you are today and we begin in malawi way people there has been declared the winner of last week's general election but the release of the results had been postponed and that wasn't definitely off to the opposition flag irregularities in the vote now the tight contest it's incumbent on the deep from the d.p.p. he is on the left in the cap against his own defeats. the newly formed u.t.m. and lazarus off the main opposition the m.p.c. now it was the n.p.c. that initially got support or the barring the electoral commission from releasing the results. that is often ordered
5:17 am
a recount from some polling districts to to allege voter making now among the allegations are that correctional fluid or typical was found on some of the ballot papers that typically sofa should be a red flag it should be an indication of a normally and it should be a wake up call to the molecule commission that somebody is trying to play some games so we went to court seeking their intervention because you know if the court is independent in this matter they listen to us and they agreed with us therefore they have ordered the maalik to commission to do a recount and i did adrian crash was in malawi covering that vote last week he joins me now from cape town good to see adrian last week you had an exclusive president's interview with president. what same stage it gets from the person that you spoke to last week who is this president. rick i was very self-confident back then when i talked to him he was convinced that he
5:18 am
would win the elections and it seems that this is what really happened he was also quite convinced that he's been doing a very good job so far he's claimed that he has done tremendous improvements and infrastructure and there belies the country lost but his opponents see this very very different remember we are still one of the poorest countries in the world one of the poorest countries in africa and youth unemployment is a big issue also education is a big issue many young people don't have a chance to get appropriate education which would then enable them to get jobs and achieve their targets when i talk to him promise to change that he also insisted that he is the right guy for the young people it his mission is to really get the agenda of the us forward but the big question is can he really do that remember he's 78 years altie is already quite alton's many young people do not really see him as a representative of the young people right and i remember you challenging him on his agent but you attended opposition rallies this while we saw you reporting there
5:19 am
young people who are really desperate for change how do you think they will take the news off when today. well of course it depends pretty much room they voted for remember malawi is not a country where you have a lot of water apathy almost everybody every pretty young person i talked to was really keen and was looking forward to go vote to express their opinions to make their votes counted of course there are a lot of people who are voting or where watching for the president for me to regard clearly otherwise he wouldn't have won and they now hope that he will really follow up on his promises that he will really help them and improve their situation but a lot of those ones who rather voted for the major 2 opposition candidates they see a different they actually are not so optimistic that with a ricos the white one to really change things here. agent in the right up to the release of this result there had been allegations of irregularities and what are we to make of those and what are some of the issues that the opposition was raising
5:20 am
well the key words in my view right now is to pax because in several of the results sheets to x. was found apparently so the people in shots tried to remove the result or change the results although that is clearly against the rules of the electoral commission it has happened the electoral commission also condemn that but they didn't see it as well problematic as the courts who actually forced them to stop the announcing of the results for a while another opposition party also said that they felt the same handwriting on several results sheets although they were coming from different regions it is not clear up until now if that is a valid complaint or not if you ask people if this election were free of a fair it's really depends completely whom you're asking the answer really depends on whom you're asking many say yes it was but you have to also remember the electoral commission by the all the senior people they are hand picked by the president so there's of course doubts how independent they really are all right.
5:21 am
andrea increase on that malawi election results thank you. our next story takes us to a place in guyana known as sodom and gomorrah the dumping ground is about the size of 20 football pitches and is filled with electronic waste that poses a serious race to the environment but one woman has made it her business to make art from the waist so as to reduce the harmful effects on the environment. pretty cool earrings right well they're made from west these country chairs are also called just like these funky coffee table design a painting turns trash into treasure she finds her role material and full of. dumpsite for electronic waste it's a place where old computers and keyboards wind up along with stocks of car tires the smell of burning rubber fills the air

a lot of people here upon the crush to recover pieces of coal power that they can fill on the. pain it's not hunting. she's on the lookout for inspiration for the work that's going to work with anything whether it's broken or is new or all those bullets and once a week or once in a while command a store final when it's a whole story out so we pick up what ever we clean through our old who came. right over the way. we hope more on the end result of what will become almost. the 1st stage of the transformation is a good clean then the material is cut into smaller pieces. and sanded down to make smooth and ridges finally matilda paint puts the finishing touches to how unique earrings. killed those projects
5:23 am
require time and teamwork what the team certainly is. and plucking is imagination they can turn ordinary electric scrap into lampshades tables or clocks and matilda paint regularly exhibits have designs conferences objects not only like a chink make our eye opening to i think rather than take all this amazing stuff that all this money has been poured into and just pollute the world with it why not turn it into art or turn it into the food that feeds people tomorrow so it makes total sense and it's good for people it's good for the world so i think the whole idea of turning traffic to treasure is one that is like so cool because a lot of places across the world were having a problem with an increase in waste and like managing the ways to getting rid of it matilda pain has won several awards. creative way of doing her bit for the
