human rights watch say is children living in the form of mining area of sand still exposed to high levels of lead that's despite the closure of the main mines and smelting ponds in the region 25 years ago the human rights watch report focuses on the town of way that's north of the capital it say's children are exposed to high levels of lead ins in soil and test or around their homes schools and areas they pay in the group ses that despite cleanup if it's around $76000.00 people still live in heavily contaminated areas it's bring in joanna naples mitchell here she's the author of off that human rights watch report welcome to today's every africa joanna segal report puts an emphasis on children why is this made exposure of 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 to 5 times as much light 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 marquita in just loud. right joanna think government of sambir 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 efforts 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 would 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 lead 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 with particular attention to children under 5 who are most vulnerable. and i did spend some time in that community well in 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 or be implications as a because of this exposure to that people have it. ok so

convoy is a town that is full of contradictions it has a bustling city center and you know is 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're very worried about that and they were told us about different symptoms their children had that may or may not be from my boys they spoke of headaches and stomach pain memory and concentration issues all of which could be from my 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 blood levels 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 g.

7 summit in france is inequality and according to the world bank south africa is the wolves most unequal society the richest 10 percent of the population 70 percent of the country's wealth 25 years off to the end of apostate poverty is widespread among south africa's black majority in the country particularly stop responding to aging krishna of course. when elizabeth needs water to cook with she has to go outside to get it the geriatric nurse has been living in this block of flats for 3 years together was more than 400 other squatters they have neither electricity or water but elizabeth says she likes living here specially because of its location inside this city close to my workplace and a good environment honestly everything close to the hospital the shopping mall in.

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 now adays hotspots of crime and poverty in cape town south africa's leaders who are 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 empty buildings they want to give low income earners a home and a voice it's about time we need to bring that transformation into our country for people from different races he does take the field crass. to get turnt but i feel that we need to bring the rainbow nation into debt and people should love to get she would love to continue living here at the waterfront but it's not clear whether that will be possible so far the city may be tolerating the squatters but the ultimate decision will be made by the courts religious leaders from around the world have been meeting in germany at a conference called religions for peace. i have met up with the wealthy off uganda she began by asking him what was behind the relative interreligious harmony in uganda. we have united. as

a minority and then we turn to our counterparts the entirely just who formed the intelligence council begun to dictate the circle we felt that what brings us together is more than what divides us a what's the process there are some minor incidents of violence in uganda that have happened who's behind them they're mostly political not not religious there's little that was there before now it has been a minute because well as it was in coming to our working together to discuss with uganda and an extra mile to engage the government for support. instead of music of violence now this situation is changing apart from sort of thuggery. listeners or from videos that is common in a society but generally as religious leaders work if it could happen 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 leaving practice in uganda as muslims and i think we just got of uganda faith leaders of the government who are working. that was the movie i think that that's what happened to dubbing is africa you can catch ross story and a website and facebook page so next time i think. earth the home worth saving googling to go is tell stories of creative people and innovative projects around the world ideas to protect the climate and boost green energy solutions by global ideas being by a new series of global 3000 on d w and online. blogs from the g 7
