he takes it personally. with the people and stories make the game so special. for all truth. this. coming out on the show. without being. investigated. one week after he was seized by the police to talk to the committee to protect journalists about his kids also coming up. with all inclusive society. the story of a young student. just taking it all. they know the. more you.

know i know. it's great to have you with us on the show now just a week ago investigative journalist eric was arrested by police in tanzania since then his team that he should be charged or released on bail but authorities did the opposite has now been charged with offenses so serious that he's not eligible for bail at all this is how we got here. why did the police arrest eric at his home in dar es salaam a week ago tons in the end officials responded to that question with a clear statement he had not been on sitting there questions they set. up

with the police there was a mandate to arrest all detain anyone several times we respectfully asked him to report to the police station but he seemed to be ignoring our son through the mandate we have we have decided to arrest him for failure to obey you have police order not digital phone you did not know of the seat is a different one cab and you are stands accused of assisting a criminal record tax evasion and money laundering his fellow tens of millions on the says there are the reasons behind the rest of the prize winning journalist. the whenever the police force wants to risk you for anything they need to clearly explain to you the reasons for your arrest and also the police need to inform your neighbors and family about your arrest this is something which our police force did not do when arresting cop and their. local media report that kept on us 80 year old mother has pleaded with authorities to lease her son human rights organizations say

his detention is yet another attack on press freedom in tanzania i'm joined now by the mall from the committee to protect journalists she's the c.p.g. is representative for sub-saharan africa and joins us now from nairobi welcome to the program so i 1st allegedly failed to report to the police then the question his citizenship and now he has been charged with organized crime and financial offenses have you presented any credible evidence. so since last monday we've a lot of a lot of mixed messages coming from the authorities about why exactly they've be erected governor and use that they initially claimed that they were investigating that the 2 men shipman tried to claimed that he had refused to respond to 20 someone all of our sources indicate that there was no such release someone's will have been there yet the day he was worked quite and the prosecuted charged him with

a comical crimes we have not seen the evidence of what crimes he say he has committed so that have yet to come. and in addition to that we must note that the crimes for which it is charged particularly money laundering is not an offense for which you can get bail in tanzania so there is a plurality of carbon there or remain in jail for the duration of the trial but we have not seen that the government is evidence that the government is basically in there charges on ok what about the yes i'm sorry to cut you there what about his legal counsel what are they saying his legal counsel has come out quite vocally about what's happening with cabins out throughout all of this he has a strong team got his put together by a question of human rights defendants yesterday we saw one of his lawyers coming out and publicly stating that for the past one week have been there has actually

not been interrogated for the charges which the auto chiefs have now brought forward so the law if that he was a little bit confused about where these charges were coming from the lawyer was also categorical in stating that he believes that cup and there was history of journalism is what has brought him here in other words that these charges might be in. that these charges might be in retaliation for his critical so so is this simply another attack on press freedom in tanzania or is there more to it i would object to the use of what simply just because every single attack we've seen on press freedom in tanzania is great news and is concerned it's all in its own weight . having said that we have seen a history press freedom attack sometimes and you know for the last few years. have included media shutdowns and suspension the use it all really strict to legislation and it was still quite answers to what happens to

a journalist who disappeared in trying to maintain as only one so in a wave go through his very unique. point oh you think we're going to turn up the war in packer the. attacks on the press and attacks on john and john's the nia ok thanks for the question. from the committee to protect journalist thanks for your time. let's head to south sudan now a country which has only existed for a.t.'s making its the well to youngest country but since becoming independent in 2011 a young nation has seen 5 years of fighting that was supposed to come to an end when the warring parties in the country struck e peace deal in september last year by rebels in the south continue attempts of their agreements have yet to be met south sudan is still waiting for a unity government. it's still early when the convoy leaves the safety of the base

the un peacekeepers are here to help stabilize south sudan ravaged by years of brutal civil war. but as the convoy heads from the capital juba to the southern town of jay the road is littered with evidence of violent lawlessness burned out cars scattered clothing discarded boots despite a cease fire between the government on the rebels armed groups harassed and robbed the civilians in the area local government officials are powerless to intervene. to get to see them. but these are life just under the market and get to see because i think this is the most religious that women. the conflict that broke out in 2013 pitted president salva kiir against then vice president react. the war killed as many as 400000 people over 4000000 people have been displaced

half of them fled to neighboring countries such as uganda or sudan the deal struck last year has halted major hostilities according to the un refugees are beginning to trickle back across the border the positive thing is they're coming back and. we see gradual movement back into the villages but we're just still have many many houses in the city richard. but only a lasting peace will allow south sudan to put violence and destruction behind it i'm not dead. we need this peace to prevail especially as we women are the ones suffering carrying children by yet cooking for children we have my schools for children. with nothing. with the peace process stalling it might be some time before the people here can begin to rebuild their lives.

now let's talk about fashion precisely about to fashion stories about. it 21 year old fashion student from kenya had a collection includes incorporates in braille and tactile design in the fabric to make it easy for visually impaired presidents to appreciates that designs most importantly she aims to help create an all inclusive society through fashion art reports are you that the money sets more lives on her work it's a fashion design studio like you haven't seen. here the creators are engineers and tech gurus make a space in kenya's capital nairobi is the incubation lab where angelo engineer who conceived of and created his seat a fashion brand that rematch in style for the blind and visually impaired i started thinking about how my skills my training field day was still would apply within my

community so i say broke down the people had interacted with i remember every interaction division in fact and the question that came up for me is how did they separate what i love but especially. the 1st challenge was to make the collection as sensory as possible the design is tactile and includes phrases in real then there's the bags inspired by gun whole stoves so how does it work how fast. you can i should. have so much time but you know what that could just like to just get in you know. was. when you. was so it's really snug yes to the idea and just to have that with that just it for you ok so it's the fight that right now

so the bags are designed to make it harder to steal from the blind and visually impaired who are often victims of pickpocketing in the city's. finally all tags feature a q.r. code that can be read on any smartphone to give a detailed description of the items. real pretty well let's say with our eyes or with our. the on or collection ultimately gives angela's clients more independence when it comes to their fashion choices and choice is in short supply for the blind and visually impaired in kenya with buzzing cities designed by and for able bodied people doing the simplest tasks like crossing the road can prove difficult for the blind. i'm curious though how much of a difference a collection makes for the intended clients so angela takes us to the kenya society

for the blind where dennis will try one of the t. shirts. this is ok. then he flips the t. shirt over and discovers the braille print. he says has never felt real so big and that's because he's never felt it on close. is obviously special. and for me to. see we're. back at the lab angela is working with engineers to include more advanced assistive technology in her work she hopes that one day majority of her colleagues will be visually impaired persons a she seeks inclusion all around. isn't that beautiful.
