yeah we. are now here at the heart of the european union of brussels where you have 23 different realities and so i think people are really looking for and journalists they can trust for them to make sense of the. gardens not all the work of the government. this is news africa coming up in the next 15 minutes mozambique's bid to rebuild the devastated border city of beirut is hosting a un backed me team to raise billions of dollars needed to repair the damages caused by cycling's it die and can in fact some people have not even received aid. and the odd space and ideas about that's all about to live there's some good news the doubles as an experiment on environmental sustainability innocent people

experience an alternative way to living in an increasingly crowded city. i'm christine wonderwall come to date every news africa i'm glad you're itching to and we begin in mozambique in the port city of beirut away all fours he's hope to raise the money needed to rebuild infrastructure destroyed off to 2 storms a 2 day donor conference launched in beirut today with experts from international organizations the private sector and civil society in attendance there hoping to raise about $3000000000.00. it die and can it smashed into walls and beacon march and april hitting the center and the north of the country just 6 weeks of hot more than 2000000 people were affected and about 650 died now the funds will be in mosques so rebuild infrastructure and support social needs and economic protection

in a fixity areas. weeks after the cycle on and really you know this house is still barely habitable for the family have moved all their possessions into the only undamaged room that's also where they now sleep. you know we'll never forget the day the storm hit. i was just there i didn't go anywhere because that was so wally they couldn't come out so they leave. going out that was a very very player name and he did c.s. . lewis houses just a few 100 meters from the shore the sea is the most immediate danger. he's coming laws laws every year why do you think it's going to be i don't know who there's an inch of peace i don't know if these are big. beira is often flooded parts of the

city are below sea level the districts of poynton j.i. and i specially at risk un climate change experts estimate that sea levels could rise by a meter by the year 2100. these are stairs of a house that used to be right here in point and jay you can clearly see how the sea came closer and closer over the years and took more and more lens many more houses under threat. the city has taken defensive action with a network of locks and candles and parts of the measures have cost millions subsidised by development funds from germany. pollution we were due to win the day of the cycle and the daughter started raining we open the logs so the water could run down into the sea if we haven't done that the flooding would have been even worse you know. may.

go assess the city is used to flooding but destructive storms like cycle only die a new phenomena she mango is hoping for more funding from overseas to pay for defensive measures he can't understand why some still doubt the existence of climate change. to have to leave our life. maybe they're living another kind of life. but the feeling in the scheme what we have done here we've decided to do understand that climate change is a problem once they have green flooding. in here that's what we have seen. definitely do feel in the scheme that something bad is happening and that's called climate change. in the meantime and worries about the future about his house and his family. if it were.

brits living here. because my father was here you. know we live here and we do. believe that the war any other place so we're here. for a so we're free. if you could afford it. you would have moved a long time ago away from the water's edge ok let's go over to beirut now we have. heading up operations for the red cross is dying response welcome to d w africa flow on most of the money that's raised at the stern of conferences going towards rebuilding infrastructure but perhaps tell us how desperate the humanitarian situation is as we speak. thank you thank you for that question because it's true that there are you know looked off impact on the infrastructure here wrote breach is also because i've been damaged but we should not forget the human side of it and

today see some people after 2 months see didn't receive some 1st and so that's one of the thing that we are looking at at the moment that the red cross is too stupid to try to to give them some tools that will help them to reveal their lives in the future but don't switch respond to there are still very dire needs to be sure to related to emergency food. emergency shelter for example that some of the communities we have been visiting recently see the entry see if anything right right well done many people have saved that the response to this disaster has been largely and defended has that been your experience and just how have you had how have you had to get by. if we would have been able to have more funds it's true that we would have been able to rent small trucks rental id copters and those who bring in more goods to be able to be distributed to all these people but what he's doing most worrying related to that too they're not girlfriend she is what is going

to come in the coming weeks and in the coming months in general and see what factors don years i would say field actors as well that don't very present in the very onset of the restaurants but much less in the coming weeks and coming months why we know that the effect of direct response would really last for long so we need to be able to protect ourself for quite some time rights was why we're really worried. ok so so to the point i mean you're throwing forward to the future and i just wonder what's you'll say it's off how much along they you'll say this is all going to be needed they are you in this for the long lloyd give us a time horizon. at the red cross we don't see how such response can be shortened and then 2 years i would explain you just briefly why but we feel look at the amount of tears of crops that have been destroyed it's more than 700000 in effect years old the scraps into lost just before the august so decent that the main office is going to come online in one year so there is no way we can do something

that is free standing and that we take over after one year so we need to be able to breach that gap for a minimum of one year and then encourage people to be more resilient field back safe for being back right or to be more resilient and a risk of floods alright that's fall on from the international federation of red cross thank you very much thank you. it's now to the democratic republic of congo where the body off veteran opposition figure if he and she say katie arrived in the capital city to get off to his death crowds gathered at the airport to pay their respects many coaches say katie the father off democracy now has a good held ministerial post during which is this is so close regime he ran for presidency several times but was unsuccessful in 1985 to off the then president goes on accused him of violating election roles not to say he died in belgium in 2017 he was $84.00 joseph had been as government wouldn't allow his body to be

20 is often it's found is 1st came up with the idea it's a museum and more because it also comes with a big garden way a city can reconnect with nature that means a lot for people in a city that's known to be developing at a rapid pace or pace has a look at the museum. the rainy season has started and there's almost died in his rejoicing this lush oasis is the newest addition to addison best cultural spaces and the pride as mr m. . here architecture and nature are celebrated together these ecological huts turned into works of art were built using an ancient construction technique process where you actually get the subsoil you have to dig about half a metre before you get the soil the only people add is water and straw for about a month and it lasts for hundreds and hundreds of years the. climate control.

in so many ways it's one of the best i think. sustainable houses surrounded by a labyrinth of us most of which are in that neck to ethiopia a dream come true for messed around with winters underneath but this is what looks like. these leaves kostin at them are usually dipped into coffee and this plant is said to cure a cold in no time in a city where cement towers are sprouting up like mushrooms there's so many zoom is a space for humans to breathe and for nature to flourish through it is going past i think. not in the right direction many of the trees are. dying out. of the air is polluted or even completely poisoned we're all affected one way or another we're all connected through the environment. reconnecting humans to the environment is precisely the aim of this school.
