you know as can be really they can scale up their business and they can start employing people here right here in for me i think what really stood out for me was yeah if you know what i was entrepreneurs as professionals as students as mothers as wives i think the african women for the most part has been largely ignore it. you know half of the population on the continent has not realized its full potential. yet everywhere women are taking responsibility like these 3 business women from zimbabwe liberia and nigeria. women friends in rwanda is a role model for them. branding journalistic mission a huge step forward in the areas of health care in the areas of education and years of digitising. providing what that says and i think that those are things that my

dear can learn from will wonder as well about increasing efficiency increasing attractiveness for business some foreign investment. gandhi also happens to be one of the keenest cities on the african continent. in kinshasa the capital of the wall torn democratic republic of congo things are lagging behind somewhat. but. that doesn't bother bobrick ascending and her friends these supper ers rise above the country's widespread poverty to celebrate high fashion. is a society of entertainers and elegant persons. baldrick is and a is one of the few women. only

a few shops in kinshasa stock exclusive european designer labels all counterfeit equivalents from china and. the moment it's difficult being as a person but it's our profession. and that means being well dressed in clothes that cost more than worst congolese will ever heard of isn't that rather cynical in such a poor country was. to do with the demand i've been through a lot in my life like most congolese people. but i've decided that i'm not always going to suffer but i wanted to be an important person in society. and the little that god gives me hope i share with others. to buckle to give you. is an especially rundown district of can shasta crime and bishop poverty prevail

here. that we that felt that best the person per the people call everybody imitate a nurse barbara has said today. with a strong mass as a red carpet barbara is cheered like a pop star by her local fans. that was. very proud of her a nobody doubts her good reputation anyone who does can get lost. you know what i'd love to just like her from time to time i wish my children would grow up like her she's so beautiful. barbara kiss and i grew up as an orphan and was raised by her grandmother there was barely enough money for food or for school when her brother became a stop her barbara decided to follow suit not nothing. i want to show people

a little appreciation is that i want to make them proud and happy. even though it's a slum i like living here. and i make this neighborhood that it famous by the comparable but always i'm a bit above normal but. the next day this a person of can share some need to celebrate the anniversary of the death of the founder of the movement science reporters and curious onlookers are here as well as barbara of course. but not everyone enjoys the show. on the morning for me what they do is a waste of time. they only do it because they don't have a proper job. for the children if the government took more care

of young people this nonsense would be unnecessary. after hours of strutting their stuff on the streets barbara and the others go to the founders grave. this is a movement became popular in the 1960 s. as a protest against the country's despotic politics and terrible living conditions. the. love. with the usual lifestyle barbara and her fellow dandies want to offer people a contrast to daily hardship. back in kenya this time on the coast close to somalia. to the east women are making soap together to earn a living but also as a kind of therapy. the women were abducted and abused by the terrorists.

sometimes they had family members who had joined the terrorists. similar to what others did has made us enemies of society they call me about just because 2 of my brothers joined the terrorist group and that was that were you ashamed. that these women have experienced pain and loss and been stigmatized by their neighbors with no help from the state or the police at. least think they could be terrorists around they react harshly and start killing people especially if they think that young men might be a member of. that's why most of them are not reported even if they are guilty. for to musharraf he knows what she's talking about her husband a policeman himself was shot dead by colleagues when he was looking for his son. the 14 year old had disappeared probably off to somalia to join the al-shabaab

terrorist group. they also recruit their fighters on the kenyan coast where tourists from all over the world spend their holidays radicalization is a huge problem here. the police respond with brutality many kenyans dare not even enter a police station for fear of appearing suspicious themselves. it was not easy to convince the authorities to let us film here. but i did learn about their officer barun a gun who was willing to be filmed here she tells us that she became a police officer to be there for society not against it. her office in mumbai is a port of call for many people especially women. i promise i'll take care of your problem she tells this woman should go without saying but not in kenya that. the police here are seen more as enemies and thugs rather than friends or help is all

they have to be primed for a fatal. officer tries to be an approachable police woman. that i'm sure this is a big gap between us. i would put it this way that. is they believed to be true in the community and as police in that one hour almost every day she explains that sometimes the public is afraid of revealing information and being seen as traitors but they are also afraid of the police. one eyed you. got no help from the police when her husband was shot dead she gets by supporting her family by selling pastries she's active in the community as an ambassador for peace. and. when the police want

something they have to take a soft approach as if they were dealing with an infant. arrest son violence only produce hate. we want to get rid of the hate so. we want to be friendly to him faintly. says the woman whose husband was shot by his own colleagues before her very eyes and who has lost a child to a terrorist group. they told me that my son was dead i have found my peace with that and who. knew. if you came back you might have been a bad influence on others and you need to be. in spite of all maybe because of her terrible story for 2 michele fierce fighting the hatred. she's joined forces with police officer b. veronica. together they venture into an area where al-shabaab is especially active

. on. them. but 1st the police uniform is met with skepticism one woman complains that she is constantly harassed by the police but by criminals to. the police officer encourages the woman to report such incidents directly to her colleagues i know where you are you don't know what. it's got that she came here many of us were afraid at 1st but it's easier for us to get things off our chest this way. very different from going to a police station you. know where you come out and this is a tactic the police are following more and more on the kenyan coast and approaching the community and listening to people. officer guma is an exceptional police woman she's always on duty even when making breakfast for her 3 children in spite of all

the difficulties she faces giving up is not an option for her. you can't go back to those sold you not be able to eat it it will be tasteless but sold because you could go much you cannot. live in. me so it's quite get me a woman is sold quite get me the car and the absolute indispensable they cannot do without us. to a child she believes in the power of women she and her friends from the therapy group all celebrating the birth of the baby girl. with that as essential as salt or as beautiful and crazy as flower as women in africa today are fighting to make life easier for the next generation.

tradition. is reduced. to celebrate. good to. find what's behind. the. 30. i'm not proud of them they will not succeed in dividing us at all not succeed in taking the people off the streets because we're tired of his dictatorship. taking

ok so a loss on the agenda now you mentioned the wildfires in brazil mccaw is leading the international charge against brazilian president giant bowls and is calling for action to be taken on the fires raging in the amazon come back here in a 2nd let's take a closer look at that fast. these are the worst fires the amazon basin has seen since records began in 2013 the dry season is only just beginning and many places it hasn't rained in weeks brazil's president has been blaming and he has with no evidence he now says the blazes may have been started deliberately keep going to get more difficult there are cyclists or car drivers out there who stop at the side of the road and light fires that stretch for over 100 meters that's common. amateur footage shows fires along highways through the anis and media reports say families organized what they called at they have 5 of us mount.
