they put this data to get that the situation every 2 hours every 4 hours every day and sure that they know people's feet so we pose temperature they report any sin tomes that's the try to it because they try to and you could be public about some of the symptoms so they keep asking as many questions as possible and of told members of the public to report any cases to the medical teams and they respond immediately which quick one g.d.s. and these are the people that make it through that that the official screening post but what about people getting past an official border. dottie's it's haribo thing according to the district health officer who told me the gaza to border is a really protected deployed medical personnel to take care of them but there's a very big challenge because the poorest borders get people crossing in and out people exchange food to poor exchange just anything and he says no that's where the

the schleswig-holstein state assembly she's been a member of parliament here for the greens since 2017 now she's been voted in as deputy speaker a powerful political position that isn't often held by a young woman especially not someone who was born in a refugee accommodation or whose parents were born in africa to write is part of the changing face of german politics. when they stood side unquote and when you look at the figures more than one in 5 people in germany have a migrant background this has to be reflected in politics otherwise it just doesn't represent society. that touré is passionate about the environment tackling the far right and it's anti immigration agenda and promoting women's rights she's also outspoken in her criticism of germany's refugee laws. people see what i join thinks that every prestigious title and policy is going to put people off playing to germany or any other country because the hardships people face at

heart and a stool with their dinner to laugh is for. touré has been described as a shooting star in state politics. but she has faced discrimination along the way. some women insults you get used to insults and that includes racist and sexist insults it's completely inappropriate in the name born to mali and parents in germany to a spent the 1st part of her life in a refugee shelter she wasn't granted citizenship until she was 12 at school her friends dreamed of the future while touring worried about being deported. that was a hugely difficult experience of my classmates knew that after finishing school i could join an apprenticeship or go to university whereas i was wondering where i would be allowed to leave or what i'd be allowed to do it because i just didn't

know whether my family would be able to stay in germany. the politician calls the port city of kiel home. she grew up hearing her parents' stories of mali though and she describes herself as being both african and german. invasion and i've always felt passionate both worlds the land of my parents and germany where i live i don't want to have to choose one country or the other african german is a concept change by the black feminist movement here that's what identify with it by this find germans with a migrant background in top political positions are rare and touré doesn't want to remain an exception. now when i say ice hockey economy adjured many of you will think africa but believe it or not kenya has an ice hockey team called the ice lions the team laces up its skates several times

a week to practice in nairobi. thank i saw ke at the equator yes it's real right here at this solar powered ice arena twice a week about 2 dozen adrenaline junkies meet for hockey training at this arena even though it's really too small for the sport most had never seen an ice rink before except on t.v. but now they're the ice lions and face the hole is one of the few women players on the team. i mean because i mean nobody sheriff says you have and you don't have these mean these you know so even if you're angry at you but it's nice to become bank because it was you know that you think of. the team is a cross-section of urban kenyan society the young men and women come from different social and economic backgrounds as well as different ethnic groups but when they play hockey together they're all on the same team 22 year old georgia got charter

is the goalkeeper fiercely throwing himself in front of the flying pack. meaning to make sure people are decided to become a goalkeeper because it suits my personality. and i'll be doing it for the rest of my life that is the anchor safe is used to wearing all the gears hockey players need but it's expensive equipment and the team couldn't afford it if not for the donors and sponsors drummed up by a team called the. he's a native of hockey mad canada who lives in nairobi tim has been in kenya for 9 years but he couldn't live without his country's national sport so he brought it with him filling his suitcases with pads pucks and helmets when he came he says it's worth it just to see the players love for his favorite sport here everyone's so people move up the learning curve so fast you have to teach them something once and they're doing it next time you hear repeated maybe just scream up both stick in your face today just to see them please you think so indeed. they may have to

chuckle just to practice so i hope i didn't suppose. the team even organized the 1st ever east african hockey tournament facing other squads mostly made up of ex-pat canadian american and european enthusiastic. it's a fully fledged tournament complete with a referee and a trophy. and what the fanbase lacks in numbers it makes up for in foozie asm the lions put up a spirited fight and reach the final versus a team of americans their own level pegging for much of the game but the lions have to settle for 2nd place on a future for game has a future here and we played well and if we keep it up and train even harder we will go for. the number of. parts are up for these young kenyans playing an iconic winter sport right here at the equator.
