patients see our top skills to prepare them for life off to redemption but one of the treatment there is drawing criticism. i'm perceived wonderwall come to africa i'm glad you're tuned in we begin in kenya of course has blocks the construction of the coal power station. a judge in the national environmental tribunal set aside and earlier decision which granted a license to develop as he ordered them to reconnect a study on the impact the coal plant would have on kenya's government says the 2000000000 dollar project would help secure energy needs and spur growth in the economy but it faced fierce resistance from conservationists and local communities . the law malarkey peleg us school world heritage site it's said to be the oldest

swahili settlement in africa a 14th century town without costs to a scholar lamo a paradise when the government announced plans to build a coal plant next door locus very tourist would say way slashing their main source of income they also fear for their health disaster is going to come from that's called blunt is going to reach out to just emerging of people you know so many people who believe they're going to have problem with the health concern disease for the government the project has obvious advantages called remains the most viable option upon completion of the project we're not only just by industrialisation in laos and beyond what you own to provide employment opportunities for. threatened turtles live on the quay pellicle it also teamed with fish vital for the life of traditional fisherman for locals protesting the coal

plant preserving the environment oh to waste the benefits of industrialisation for some reaction to that tribe you know ruling today though the children have made she's an activist from the organization. that would be swahili for the voice of the women the riaa has been at the forefront of her organizations campaign against the building off that coal plant in lima she joins me now from nairobi welcome to d.w. news africa raju at the tribe you know hearing today what do you feel about the outcome of course this is your home that was being discussed. oh i'm feeling very happy very happy i feel like flying i feel like crying i feel like i've really have be really happy ok don't fly away because i want to know from you what do you think about whether or not this is the end of the fight because as i understand it the development company has been ordered to go and redo its

environmental impact assessment do you think this is the end of the road or is there more of a battle to come. i can say both. because we had so much to get around to stop the project and one of the things that we wanted to be licensed be canceled and at least to who we are in that area so this bitterly hey they know because they will not relent they will go on with the fight and we as the community we really move on but we're happy that at least to the court has give us it is as the community of. kenya in general right and let's talk about your community riah why are you so opposed to

this project and and tell us a little bit about how you feel that this whole plan would change the way of life where you grew up. faster than. many people know that is a walled heritage site they're things that we've been preserving for century a walkout i wonder legion there where we could the way we eat and everything that too preserved until we got to that title so we're telling the government that we welcome development in lamb but not at the xperience of the community because if you bring bad broad coal power plants you're going to destroy the environment and when you destroy the environment you dislocate people especially the women that are going to suffer in this society and they're going to degrade. the sea because

they're saying they're going to dump their west into the sea which is the backbone which is the heart of people so if you bring those project we as community we will not allow and we have cases that other countries which have implemented similar projects most of their people have been affected physically they have health problems there is air pollution everywhere i mean i looked of environmental degradation in their areas so with this really not allow it because lamb is our part our days and up to now it's still virgin because it's we are speaking there is no single industry in we breathe fresh air from gourd and we will not allow anybody to came in take that from us or i will need that there are some made in nairobi thank you. today the u.n.

a 3 day soccer clinic as well as developing their skills on the field organizers see the camp as a way to help promote pace when they're not together it will force them to come together the only way to piss poor student to come together. as for the children they're just happy to learn from professionals and hone their technique. so when you come to me go. see trix exercises. the clinic finishes with a big tournament and even if patrick's team loses at the end of the day his eyes still sparkle. i was one of the youngest on the pitch when i played i felt big. i felt like a big star on the page. but it's
