for people with truth whose goodness i moved away from death to this good dinner away from good to talk didn't rod was good with most people do 3 men were never put through this. thing will go inside ethiopia's phony free long term drug and alcohol rehab facility where most patients are being treated for their addiction to be the feast stimulant caps. and will meet the young kenyans who hope to become a limping champions in skateboarding. hello i'm christine wonder it's good to have you along welcome to news africa the world's biggest conference on wildlife trade finished in geneva today and full day of poss 37 african countries are unhappy with the outcome some bob wavelets want to add namibia had appealed to the convention on international trade and endangered

species of wild for the and flora to end a ban on trading ivory the 3 countries are home to 61 percent of the continent's elephants zimbabwe's president innocent men gobble was particularly scathing in his response to the decision he say to a nickel reporter they kill us from but they bar us rather from killing our animals full sending ivory bats they want to strip protect. them from being poached he continued to say europeans have consumed all their animals but they want to save rules for us we've managed to consume. my guest today is to gnash if spokesman for zimbabwe parks and wildlife management authorities joining us from harare welcome to the africa mystified a well why is the zimbabwean government so opposed to the ivory bat. thank you thank you kristin their little prisons where we are all posed. to divine

because most of the people who bear the brunt of this i mean was there in the communities people who are not benefiting people one of getting anything and most of the people making decisions on our behalf on the behalf of the communities. in copenhagen they don't choose to hear borders with these animals and we think that there's a stark contrast on how people from the west and view these animals when you look at this animal. cous somewhere or in drink and drive people would compete for the source of these animals there's a stark contrast when you look at it from the good. you see a generic giant something which is solved but for people to escape it is animals away from their fields to scare them away from their cattle they know who it was we've lost people due to human or left conflict this year alone we've lost more than 15 lives in this is a this is something that is happening almost every day in the communities and

that's why we're pushing for digital communities voices to be head unfortunately not called through but did the most unfortunate thing is people pushing for the bad and those who are putting in a little money in financing but then it investing in these communities we are seeing a fantasy that a lot in the midst must be good in 1st i want you to actually apologies but why do you think i mean each seem to be making the case yet but why do you think that you appeals offloading on is why is the international community not coming on board. we don't know i honestly can't speak on their behalf but we've tried all things possible to say the word life management issue it's a sales based issue and decisions must be based on science when you say. you did a political cutting capacity this is science these are not 2 motions this is this isn't mass to be made based on science based on faith and one of them put in faith

does that i think the world must to know is or the global ellison's of that that it did with extinction animals in southern africa that don't face an extinction we are sitting on more than $84000.00 elephants in a small kind of legs and bob i can give you an example more than a 100 years ago we had about 4000 elephants and we had also a very small population of settlers and blake natives in zimbabwe but the numbers of $24.00 and $4.00 and that is that i'm talking about dylan does not expanding the same thing is happening in our neighbors in and i may be able to plan these are the challenges that we're facing but we believe that when we believe that the best thing that we can do is to ensure that our communities are benefiting because the 1st line of defense for these animals are the communities and we believe that the animals and the people these communities must see these animals as economy which when it is so that people get jobs for them so that people get education disability

that's what they believe in because the numbers they've exceeded the political killing capacity they're causing a lot of problems in our communities they're not only killing people they're also destroying crops with that with our people being imposed by design with no benefits our governments are facing and that social computing needs like education you know they do other things and i think it would be asking for too much for the same government too but we are doing our best we are saying we believe that the onion was musty look after themselves to gnash it had always felt sinful parks and wildlife management authority thank you. thank you mr. k. so this fantasy behind me is known by many names it's called in kenya and uganda and rwanda and cats in somalia and ethiopia chewing the plant is

a popular pastime on the horn of africa and using catch is often dismissed as a harmless cultural activity rather than a social problem but one clinic in ethiopia is now offering treatment for cat addiction and usual move in a country where few people see the use of cuts as problematic. these men are all in rehab because of an addiction to cat chewing the cat plant for its stimulating effect has been common in ethiopia for centuries but uses can struggle to curb their habit of being in addiction for the past 15 years for but with a lot of for addiction a big percentage are like clouds like cigarettes. like marijuana. at this state run rehab center treatment is free and patients are encouraged to give up using cat a rare approach in

a region where few try to stop people using the popular drug. here in ethiopia chewing cat is legal and widely seen as a cultural activity but experts say users can try to turn to other substances such as alcohol to dampen the plant's amphetamine like effects. the whole night the concrete. start. reading for increasing cost of work. for increasing the performance in the study in different walks. patients complain of everything from irritability to nightmares and depression here they're offered treatment for withdrawal symptoms given psychological help and even work out. in this part of the capital addis ababa truckloads of fresh supplies arrive every day it's chewed openly on the streets here but many aren't convinced

that cat is a cause for concern. that's not true the people who say that already addicted to alcohol and other drugs before they use cats. are working. properly. money cat is ethiopia's 2nd biggest export behind coffee and more and more farmers are now abandoning coffee and other crops to grow it as a result domestic consumption is growing. while an extraordinary drop in on the skateboarding scene in kenya the sport is relatively new in the country but it's picking up in popularity and with skateboarding having its debut at the olympics next year some in nairobi are already dreaming big as cora deval found out at the biggest skate park in the capsule. the.

sky using helps me to be strong when i'm on my skateboard i feel free when i'm moving on the board especially when i'm dropping into the ball and i come out i feel sorry good enough. whenever 16 year old william gets a chance she trains at the shangri s.k. park she grew up here just a few meters away at the chandelier children's home in nairobi where more than 100 children in need are provided with a shelter regular meals and free schooling but the best part of course so the children say is that skate park. was good to. getting the clothes out must get. the park opened in 2014 and it's not only east africa's 1st skate park but also

it's largest. this skate park represents much more than a sports facility and a space for leisure this is where the children of sangli have to build themselves the sea and well on the weekends they welcome children of all backgrounds from across nairobi to help and learn from each other help fund training together and most importantly to build long lasting friendships. for the children up in self-confidence they've been able to express themselves they've been able to pull sophia loads of people from outside but the children from outside come real are through our children want to play more they more. and also all of the people help level to open up and appreciate it but. as money says that when she looks at the children skating she sees their troubled past full of neglect and abandonment fade away she sees kenya's bright future. is up in the clinical international dream of

going to international competitions or to the olympics and also introducing other woman to skating showing them that they shouldn't be afraid of skating because nothing is impossible you just have to be fearless and have enough confidence confident enough. either she becomes an and then pick champion and not a man hopes to make a living with skateboarding one day when she does she wants to build a home for nairobi's underprivileged children and that dream house etc could be the state park. and that is it for now from deed of news africa as always you can catch all our stories on our website and facebook page so today believe you with pictures off some of africa's wildlife as with it early in the program stephanie but sometimes coexistence is difficult to see a next time i'd like. to.
