entered my room. and they took me out of bed to pee and i was swimming naked and was not given a chance to dress up i asked to dress up and they started slapping me. so they forced me out blinded. my assailants accused me of mocking the government and said they had been monitoring our comedy and we had no right to mock the government and it had up us. i was asked to lay down and roll in sewage water. this is when the torture started. they took turns to beat me up with whips or. do. they accuse me of forming a skit that advocated for the eviction of state security personnel and communities so they had come to take me out of my home 1st.

time in months. some ethical speaking there from the hospital bit 1000 bogus information ministry says police have received a report of a kidnapping and investigations are underway but a spokesman for the government costs on the claims made by korea nick mungana tweeted the recent activities in sim have all the hallmarks of the quote black ops hence need to be analyzed dispassionately who stands to gain from a damage to innocent non-drug was local and international prestige why would mosque people object then or the victim not to criticize him and nicely stating things up . human rights watch say it's children living in the form of mining area of san diego austin exposed to high levels of it that's despite the closure of the main mines and smelting ponds in the region 25 he is

a human rights watch report focuses on the town of that's north of the capital it say's children are exposed to high levels of lead ins in soil and just around their homes schools and areas they pay in the group say's that despite clean up if it's around $76000.00 people still live in heavily contaminated areas it's bring in joanna naples mitchell here she is the author off that human rights watch report welcome to to. joanna so your report puts an emphasis on children why is this made exposure particularly dangerous for children. so let exposure is dangerous for children more so than adults for some reasons 1st children's brains and bodies are still developing 2nd children absorb $4.00 to $5.00 times as much right as adults and finally children spend much more time in the soil which is where the

light is in car where playing in the ground or putting their hands in their mouths into their mushroom margarita in just lowered. right joanna the government of sandia has said it doesn't have the money for decontaminating this area relocation perhaps is another option why has that not happened firstly she said the government says that it doesn't have enough resources to address the full scope of the problem they're making some efforts now and we hope that they will expand those upwards but in terms of relocation this is something we've asked different experts because this is also a question for us and what we were told was just physically moving some $76000.00 people is just an incredibly onerous undertaking and would be very challenging and also extremely expensive which seems like you know you know the project is already very expensive just cleaning out the lead but it seems like you'd be even more than that. so what are you calling for as human rights watch what proposals are you

suggesting as an organization we're calling on the government to come up with a comprehensive and sustainable way to clean up the land so that they address the land in homes schools health centers and on roads and also at the mind that still there in convoy and also that they choose a method of clean up that actually will last but also calling for them to provide testing and treatment all affected community members particularly tension to children under 5 who are most vulnerable. joe and i know you've spent some time in that community will in the city of kabul and at the soldiers about what you experience interaction with with the people in the community are they a way off of the situation and perhaps what did you see 1st had as a result all of the implications as a because of this exposure to that people have. ok so convoy is a town that is full of contradictions it has a bustling city center and you know it is the capital of this province and at the same time about

a 3rd of the population was not affected areas when i spoke to parents about whether their children had been tested you know some parents that their children had been tested for lead and they were very worried about that and they were told us about different symptoms their children had that may or may not be from lead poisoning they spoke of headaches and stomach pain memory and concentration issues all of which could be from lead poisoning since we're not doctors you know we don't have the ability to say that and actually it's very hard to say for sure if something is from lead poisoning but regardless you know the families we spoke with their children had extremely high blood levels you know they were told that their children had these large bubbles orally they were never given anything in writing what they were told was very worrying all right joe and then naples mitchell from human rights watch thank you. thank you so much. the focus of this is g. 7 summit in france inequality and according to the world bank's of africa is the wolves most unequal society the richest 10 percent of the population earn 70 percent of the country's wealth 25 years off to the end of apostate poverty is

center of one of cape town's most expensive and popular districts the water for. those dresden are wealthy and whites. and there needs to change says she wants domestic workers gardeners and geriatric nurses to also have a right to live here. for me to say to me because i think especially after we've held to account for all the thought flashed. across the. piece tonight because. we feel that we don't see the light at the end of the town and there it is continually to the police came to in recent years property prices in cape town central districts have risen dramatically they're out of most people's free choice instead hundreds of thousands of people live in

townships on the other side of table mountain cape town is still effectively divided into black and white areas. apartheid and the 25 years ago. times of racial segregation still have a strong impact on the society here today back then the regime spent much more money on the education of white children compared to black children also only white people were allowed to live in fancy areas or others were forcibly relocated to places like this one here which are nowadays hotspots of crime and poverty in cape town south africa's leaders who has made fighting inequality a central focus of his presidency but unemployment is rising along with discontent and crime dispossession and reallocation are ever recurring themes. that's why a bit organisation reclaim the city aim to take over more into buildings they want to give low income earners a home and

together is more than what divides us what separates us there are some minor incidents of violence in uganda that are happening who's behind them they're mostly a political note not religious there's a little of that was there before now it has been a minute because welcome to the us was a mutual working together to discuss with uganda. an extra mile to engage the government for support. instead of music a virus no this is changing apart from sort of thuggery. a lawless missive from a field of videos that is common in a set but generally as really just as well if you could help on an island between the 3 just doesn't the government living in one of the government is also listening to us and also advising the government undertaking that for us that's why we're

looking at this in uganda as muslims i think we discussed of uganda faith if he does that the government will. that was the most you know that's what happened he doesn't use africa you can catch what a story is now if such a facebook page the next time i think. s.o.s. europe. is in crisis. if it's to have a future it will meet champions young champions. for activists who are country. or solution for the. euro. do they stand
