look to season. 16. earth. where saving googling tears tell stories of creative people and innovative projects around the world idea that's to protect the climate and boost green energy solutions by global ideas the series of global 3000 on t.w. and on line. welcome to the 77 percent africa smuggles in for the you why the 77 percent you ask well because more than 3 quarters of africa's population is under the age of 35 and hopefully you are one of. thanks for joining us and stay tuned you're watching the 77 percent how you ever

wondered how you could better shape africa's image on the world stage we discuss this all a lot more on today's show. the radio reports out beatrice hearing from zambia is quite keen for the future of young african like talking climate change to our 77 report on the african journalists and activists in germany to find out how they fit the image of their continent. and fellow gulzar most successful rapper takes us on a tour through the west african cause. climate change isn't just a global issue it's a pastoral one as well and africans are set to take the brunt of a 21 year old radio journalist beatrice fieri knows this better than most after taking part in a united nations youth workshop

a few years ago she learned exactly how climate change would impact her home countries and. she's now taking to the airwaves in lusaka to share our knowledge and encourage young people to take action before it's truly. the actual cool market in lusaka trees that once protected this number in savannah and soon here and who can feel climate fighter beaches feel real reports how filling these trees has an impact on daily life in communities in lusaka clean with merchants in the market the young greedy reporter is looking for are lies in how frightened into climate change. our ways. for problems but rather look for solutions together we don't come here to look at what's the negative things people are doing but rather to help as come up with solutions that are going to hell. it's you know a collective collective so those are the things that we actually do and this is why

we always have to come here to collect stories that are inspiring and motivating. she really has her own show i tell you suck a community radio station in an hour long broadcast each month she talks about environmental issues in lusaka and watch zambians can do about them when i have. the right. look today she's talking about have visit to the shuttle market later she really nice says about her childhood telling how her neighbors would fight over water before the well ran dry due to persistent droughts. truly believes that many zambians are already affected by the climate change but that most are not aware of it. and. so every person meets

to have adequate information and that is what my vision is about in all the regulations that actually gets to to it's about creating or giving out information that is powerful information that is actually able to stimulate every person's mindset and say look i have been affected by this situation by climate change and i think it's high time we get to do something about it that's my position. climate change is deeply and just although african countries account for a tiny fraction of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere droughts floods and rising temperatures heat the continent with full force but theory is convinced that zambians are not helpless and can reach a gate to the effects. that starts with educating people. most of the vendors and the whole market have never even heard of climate change for many theories show is an eye opener helping them to understand the changing

with the patterns they have witnessed. during the 20 katrina and 2016 some experience erratic water supply due to reach out to lead to or no rainfall and also that was caused because many people were busy cutting down the truth and this is what we're actually going to get to see more if no action is actually implemented by we the people. she really wants to inspire the people at the markets to fink about ecological tentative such as chattel made from banana peels all maize commitment shows how young people across the globe are becoming increasingly aware that climate change may compromise their future and that action must begin now. it just goes to show if you raise your voice and strike knowledge you can help bring about change and that's exactly what we hope to do

with our street debates where we ask young africans to share their opinions on controversial issues but this week's debate is a little different i was 77 percent reporter bruce a money meets with african journalists and activists who travel all the way to germany for the global media forum he wants to know more about how the media can change people's perception of what rekha. hello and welcome to the 77 percent debate coming to you from the global media forum in born and today we're discussing about of very interesting topic how can african journalists ship the image of the continent both locally and internationally so i would need to have a very interesting. group of panelists you are a blog and a social activist from nigeria how difficult is it to tell a story about material without mentioning. for example corruption well it's one of

the major things that people recognize nigeria with that is boko haram corruption and such things but there are stories that are missing from the conversation so for example in northern nigeria we know stories about oppression when it comes to women but people do not realize there is a new movement of northern nigeria and women who are beginning to advocate for really important issues such as you think lucian and more recently a movement called me to i mean to north inhouse the language is spoken in northern nigeria and you have a lot of young women coming out to speak about abuse and sexual harassment and that's a growing movement right now in northern nigeria well what i'm saying is they're still going on and that needs to be told globally but for a lot of social activist from cynical. about the things that we seeing on the international scene i mean the negative negatives. my opinion is they want to show . the but things in africa in order to make us dream in order for

us to need to come in your role because in america we don't need it we have not a positive things in africa like young people. involving in politics trying to make social trend we have a lot of things lot of positive things to show in of. you in terms of activism platform called change things and you know. how difficult is it to try and change these things in an environment that is strict i believe that one of the things that we ought to understand is the context i think what gets lost in international news is not that they write about bad news or news that we may not want to have it in the public or hide but what is the. boko haram has got a much bigger context than just saying that they're terrorists for taking away young girls there's poverty there's all that but there's always a story of hope in any story so it's up to us to find that hope most of the time

the only reason we have negative news in the international media is because people within the country are not given the freedom to tell the story the way they want to if the media is free they will tell the good and the bad story inside the country and that gets outside as one should international audience have a full picture about africa for example of course yes i just want to take the occasion to dead people as a journalist you don't need to come with a template in your head you don't need to come we've a photo in your head and you want to see the photo you always in your head on the ground know you are talking about facts and people behind a screen they want to see those facts. my role is not to give interpretation my role is not to guide people to say ok you see this is go well you have to see this one this is no just give the facts and tell people the story thank you so much make the choice ok thank you so much for the we'll talk about fox but is there pressure in trying to deliver these stories yeah. yeah i feel like there is pressure when

you look at the media house if the media owners and i've are affiliated or associated to a certain party so we don't have we don't have rules and guidelines which sotto the media house of independent from whatever is going on 5th of all a journalist has to be independent in the context of the local context inconvenient for them to provide content so you have a very good you know it's very great content but they don't want to go there if they don't want to be received published by mainstream media because so much well. first of all i like to say that i agree with everything that's been saved here but i'd like to add something to that i think that as journalists what we have to do is to just create the space and let people tell their stories we do not have to be the ones that have the monopoly you know to tell the stories or to decide what's going to make news and what shall not make news. i'm noting because of so many comments

that have been made and the strong points that are coming out of how many media houses secure their journalists provide that security that safety net for journalists to go out there and come back with stories if i am a small african journalist an in less than $100.00 a month and you want me to investigate a media conglomerate or investigate. an iron ore mine or all somebody who has everything to put me down and kill me how can i do it these are the things we have to look at let media owners also be strong let them stand out in africa and help the young people coming up so many young john. well as with potentials but just to move around i think the greatest challenge for us often journalists is to step beyond just publishing the story we need to deal and fix the problems as well see what we can do of course with our pens not with anything else. thank you get out of this. i just want to face i don't want us to run away from the fact that the

media is a powerful tool to set the agenda for conversations in the entire society as one of the people who were leading the not too young to run movement in nigeria i can assure you that the traditional media as well outside of social media there's so many people who still just listen to only the radio and can access only the radio so such tools such as the radio and the newspaper as well as social media all contributed and general is one of the 4 people who pushed the movement so it's really important that we understand that the media does still have the power to set the agenda for conversations and just as everybody has said i would like to echo that in the sense that it's our responsibility not just in activism but also in shaping the way people look at issues so i think in terms of even promoting our own country's development journalists do have a role in beginning to shape the way people think positively about what they can do

and what is happening in africa she's a very important things but i mean this topic for example environment and business and things that. some of the things that i realize it's a journalist is talking about very mundane things about the rise of price in bread and just have a conversation around that but then set the context populism that you talked about is so easy to sort of say the traders are the ones to blame how do you as a journalist explain that maybe there's some issues within the environment the business environment is different i can assure you that us a person who's been in a lot on social media and in mainstream media people want to know how. anythings affect the everyday lives and they're also open a lot for positive stories but you need to find the good news which is going to show the side of us that most of the time we don't think about that you know vision the fun i mean i think we africans are full of fun let's show we can have fun sometimes we laugh and we're also very very creative so i think people are

interested is just for us to go and find the stories thank you so much and yes on a lighter note as journalists i think we should also not forget we might be corrupt but we are fighting corruption the my every problem is enough but we're trying to solve them not just but you so much there's a good way to end this debate i mean thank you so much wonderful people for attending the astute debate. this continue talking you can visit us on our website and our social media pages and because so much from of the doesn't. have any of our stories so far spot to curiosity that will be sure to check out our you tube channel where you'll find the full wash and i was trying to bait and more interesting topic. now if you think the manoa next segment looks for media then well done that means you've been paying attention for my lad is
