on the standard of the food in the barracks. this is the news africa coming up in the next 15 minutes that has one but always eventually the best bound to be outcry the opposition say's there were serious irregularities so why is this election free and fair. been turning traveling to treasure and helping the environment. we meet the gotten a and creative gets her inspiration from discarded. what's. called the waste. and results. from the.

i'm christine wonderwall come to deeds of news africa i'm glad you're tuned in we begin in malawi where people there has been declared the winner of last week's general election but the release of the results had been postponed 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 off date or did a recount from some polling districts to to allege vote rigging among the educations that correctional fluid or to pigs was found on some of the ballot. that depicts the sofa should be flat. it should be an indication of an almighty and

it should be a wake up call to the my little nation that somebody is trying to play some games so we went to court seeking the intervention because you know the court is independent in this matter they listen to us and the ugly to the us and therefore they have ordered a demolished a commission to do a recount all right. adrian priest was in malawi covering that voted last week he joins me now from cape town good to see adrian last week you had an exclusive president interview with president. what sense did you get from the person that you spoke to last week who is this president. was very self-confident back then when i talked to him he was convinced that he 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 in infrastructure and there belies the country lost but his opponents see this very

very different remember malawi is 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 which eric i want to talk to him promise to change that he also insisted that he is the right guy for the young people that his mission is to really get the agenda of the youth forwards 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 young people who are really desperate for change how do you think they will take the news off when the day. well of course it depends pretty much room they're voted for remember malawi is not

a country where you have a lot of will to 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 over where will change for the president from what a record will be otherwise he wouldn't have one 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 whichever rico is the white one to really change things here. adrian in the run up to the release of this result there had been allegations of irregularities what are we to make of those and what are some of the issues that the opposition was raising well the key words in my view right now is to x. because in several of the results sheets to x. was found apparently the people in charge 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 fear 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. 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 threat 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 the west these comfy chairs are also cold just like these funky coffee table design a painting turns trash into treasure she finds her roll material and book at princetown site 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 and a lot of people here upon the trash to recover pieces of coal power that they can fill on but pain is not hunting. she's on the lookout for inspiration what's going to work with anything whether it's broken or is new or all those

bullets and was is good to be calling them once in a while commander for final critical story so we pick up what ever we clear. rights of the way but then 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 send down to make smooth images finally matilda paint puts the finishing touches to how unique earrings. matilda's projects require time and teamwork the team certainly is. and plucking is imagination they can try an ordinary electric scrap into lampshades tables or clocks.

matilda paint regularly exhibits have designs a conference's object not only like a chink they are 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 but i think the whole idea of turning traffic into treasure is one that is right so cool because a lot of places across the world we're having a problem with an increase in ways i'd like managing the ways to getting rid of it matilda pain has won several awards. creative way of doing heartbeat for the environment and she has even bigger things planned for the company. we are looking really able to move and therefore would love to train more women to which are into what we're doing now to be able to start to do your own businesses
