the adventures of the famous naturalist and explorers. to celebrate comics on the from the boards to 250. morning on the floor of the discovery. expedition boyd. league. and welcome to both of them to 7 percent i want to show for you i wonder. coming up on today's program we are in germany of all the streets. it is a money nice weekend young up and out for germans in believed to talk about their experiences of the part of the of the guns they asked for. we had to at least give up when you get the cell when they get sick leaves us through the streets of the

european capital. and we travel to the d.l. coach young to know he's a leading the fight against the news. today without a program in the german of course it is the hometown of thing up and drop on me for kinney she was there at a very young age and for a long time a kenyan born artist felt like a stranger an experience she now process in her music. to african to be german. to german to be canaan. i can use you it was marked by a conflict between 2 very different cultures corrupt i was born in one basket i grew up in the german city of cologne. looking one of the few good news i was always dismissed by all those a lot but as a child i didn't really understand why you do why though you always want to belong

to just be part of the whole but you never would be for me and simply just accepted at some point that i didn't belong doesn't face the full. search for a feeling of security and acceptance inspires many offense songs or has a pseudonym miss. experiences a snuffle german 4th in german and. who's afraid of the black woman she defends the ask in a song after spot time or. takes a stand against racism and put more self-confidence because this is something she didn't get to experience growing up. i didn't have any role models i don't really have them today either until now the light skinned woman has represented the ideal version of beauty is kind of the ducks woman as a kid i was preoccupied with this idea because i never saw anyone like me anyway

because in my view of the world in cologne i kin you takes part in youth work she's become a role model for our young are for german guards. i think they are black women here but they're not well represented i don't see them as role models. i would also say that layla is a role model about all he's taught me a lot whether it's dancing or fighting for things in life not giving up letting go of things that are necessary. for everything done since i'm a good daughter for be. but having discussions are also important. i would like to give young people have confidence and self love that they can show in front of everyone. under ticker we'd be a few others. because i think that's the biggest.

cause to get us. there 28 year old has now overcome her own fears. first. lady. ringback is proud of her african roots but she's also found a 2nd home in cologne. but. one can somehow leave between these walls in the diaspora but i really don't understand this i personally believe that one can be both in germany and i can be both kenyan and german why should i have to decide. that's right why should we have to be able to identify with 2 different cultures is an amazing experience right. for our latest street debate we traveled to

meet with africans and germans we ask them about how they find everyday life in germany do they feel welcome or 6 do they still have to deal with all the fashion racism and prejudice. the 77 percent is now in berlin i know it's strange for us to be in europe but we've been talking to a lot of young africans who are talking about the possibilities of living in the north and half and the question is is it worth the hype i'm going to be asking a couple of people here who actually live and work in germany i'm going to find out what their diaspora experience specifically as africans has been and i want to start with a personal friend her name is maureen we know he has more she knows everyone but she's been here for quite a while so when you moved to germany what were your expectations and the reality

you know how they have means what you expect so what was that like. well the idea was to come here study do some work and then go back home but then you realize have to spend so much time. creating a foundation here you immediately want to be a part of representing the diaspora and the african experience here and now it's become a bit like rebranding the african continent because like so many ideas that just no longer belong stiller really exist in whatever's happening right now so more his is just talking about the experience of being african and one of the biggest things for her is perceptions so i want to find out from you how was it like when you moved here people ask you if you have lions. i think there are 2 sides of people that actually are beginning to understand that africans. well educated and out of people that haven't actually had the experience to actually meet even an african so my experience was that a very 1st a much as he was in finland oh before coming to germany i met an old lady who. i

wanted to touch my head because it was something so strange ok let me speak to somebody who's been here a while claymore clits a who's actually part of the c.d.u. which is the conservative christian party here in germany so you're sitting in parliament right now but 22 years you've had to build this reputation what was it like 22 years ago as an african just realized something the last locking in the society regarding the african community. being one of the 1st african to be nominated as a candidate in the state parliament in homburg is a signal to the society that we are not just sherman's from. people from africa descent also who are living here who are working who can be also into politics the c.e.o.'s don't and just put a spotlight on the positive aspect. of the african community i just want to open up the question to the rest of the people here because i've heard people talking about

racism and i'm also curious if the racism is pointed because you're african would it be different if you were african american or if you will of indian descent i honestly think the racism is not messages pointed on that it is the small things that make it worse i'm sorry i don't want people to judgment sort of i'm sorry i don't people asking me if i go to school on a lie and if i don't know sit with a hyena and i have a joke with them or something that is not the case if you want to know about me come and approach me an open and honest manner and you can learn so we you know agreement that racism is part of the african diaspora experience particularly in germany and i want to hear personal examples what has happened to you that made you think that wasn't right and i want to hear from you i actually have a slightly different take i am to make and i feel as though bias is a part of the human experience and racism is just one of the ways that people express bias when i move her across my dad and i was like daddy i don't think i can stay because people keep on staring at me and he said assume they're looking

because they like what they see and so. it has a sense of conduct always laughing so i want to find out what exactly was thinking about. why don't you think she is good to look out of course are you disagreeing with what she's saying that people don't necessarily look out of curiosity but rather because of a bias as she was explaining in my experience i've been here for almost 20 years now. to be kind of have not experienced racism. it's all depends on our mindset what you focus on your truck country itself so i see the human being black white wrote to me i see the person as you are on the way you are right the way you do when you approach all of us that's how you're going to be received don't you think that's a little bit naive though because i mean i could carry myself as a queen but if people see me as trash you should be you should have some confidence ok oh yeah i see. i actually got attacked by

a whole group of people in finland a child lost my shoulder because of that just because the people thought i was a somalian who was just selling drugs and i tell you to work for nokia the police that came in 1st had a racial understanding that oh yes is this used as african who has triggered this whole conflict so the reporter was different he reported it and said it is a gang fight until nokia has responded and said this is our stuff he was actually on the work machine then the story changed because of course all this comes from one year and it also comes of ignorance ok so this conversation is not about racism so i just want to put a cap on that what happens when you have to prove yourself professionally when you decided that you wanted to become a politician that people take you seriously. i have to say. at the beginning it was difficult you have to prove yourself with a time and let people know that you are not just here as if you go bad you have

something to offer to the society when we came here in this country myself included had a beginning we were thinking ok i'm going to spend 5 years 10 years almost make money go back to africa and duties and that we are still here unfortunately there are some people who didn't take the language seriously we discussed racism we are discussing our existence in this society but you can contact someone only if you speak his language so i think through that we can a little bit fight and make things work better for us at the beginning of this conversation i asked is it worth the hype so do you think that you will ever go back to ghana is it an option for you i tried it once and guess what i returned and i'm now of course in germany because here is home for me what we see is definitely one fear takes charge people become buyers and so for me what is important is that

for us to take away that fear we need to prove we need to also integrate and we need to make sure that people feel comfortable with us i want to close this debate to the press and i opened it with maureen what are some of the things that she would like young people to experience when they visit not just europe but the general north and hemisphere. well that would be great to be. to get to a place where we are unapologetic about who we are to get to a place where we can continue to contribute to the well being of society it would be great to have more allies to have these conversations with because africans are not the ones to have these conversations on the web so it would be great to to graduate from this level of conversation that we're still having most are prone to go back to yeah well at the beginning we asked what is the african diaspora experience in germany the answers have been complicated non-binary exhausting. time's refreshing and it's a conversation that needs to keep happening thank you to my panelists who joined me here today place i call a 2nd home and from berlin we say choose. thank

you. for speaking so openly to us if you would like to watch the longer version of that debate you can check out our you tube channel now it's time for our next big topic for today's show fake news to give you an idea of the magnitude of the problem in the final stages of the train to 16 u.s. election the top 20 fake news reports had more share clique and comments than the talk turned to reports from a reputable news outlet so what do we do when the truth keeps getting lost somewhere among so-called a tentative. a team of young journalists in day our call will have fet out to expose fake news and topics from spreading. when something moved funny cut you

some with these friends to talk about news. in their free time these freelance journalists can the internet from news information. we have decided to fight against fake news and also verify the accuracy of statements given by authorities false information is sometimes used to manipulate the public so we decided that someone needs to fight back against it. some removed from me and his team founded the network would check into him to 18 and he saw specious information the findings published on their website as well as they are treating you to a conference. african audience he cell phone exposed to fake news on habits right according to studies from the universities of cape town on used in up to 50 percent of media consumers in kenya nigeria and south africa see the exposed to

fake news on a regular bases this intuition isn't any different. it's difficult to know what to believe. even for journalism students. i am lost when i use the internet i don't know what's true and what's false in a movie is so well known and it's really dangerous because it always looks like real information whatever. the case that we kill in the mckinsey teaches them how to cross check information but if even journalism students find it difficult to detect fic news how hard easy for everyone else. comic book on easy in the past we said if something is written in a book then it's true. everyone is convinced that if something is on the internet then it's true when an intellectual in a village says information even of this information comes from a dubious us the fact that it is shared on what's up next people believe it is true or false course

a fossil more like. checks work became even more important after it broke out in east india. business than room was claiming that it was not doesn't exist or that it's being used as part of money making scheme has led to public mistrust and a wave of violent attacks several treatment centers having attacked. foible no response coordinator. it's an unbearable situation for the muscle weakness can sometimes circulate with impressive speed compared with the right information in which we ask people to respect the measures. for example if some or 1st he'll have to inform us and a dead person must not be touched but this is hard for people to accept seriously help with us at this. summit for me and his team identify fake news about ebola almost every day on social media usually on what's up and facebook.

works alongside africa check an african wide initiative aiming to tackle fake news . sammy and his colleagues receive training and take nikolai systems from the pan african counterpart but these 2 walk alone truly as a group receives no funding. because this is a challenge we often have to make several phone calls and send emails so we have expenses working without any financial backing is difficult 16 journalists that cross the country work with their dream is to make a living from the i walk. we've already seen how the spread of fake news can have theory its consequences and it has nothing to do with freedom of expression which brings us to our next topic. their right to freedom of expression unfortunately isn't upheld everywhere in africa in mozambique zambia or

come or when for example people risk high prison sentences or what if they speak up against the government but what is it like in other countries we asked our correspondent. zimbabwe still is going to mount a pool of loans that criminalizes free expression recently the government introduced a tax on social media things the margins of democracy through here several governments are going to expressing doubt views without looking over their sources . zimbabwe still has good amount of laws that criminalize is free expression particularly if one sees something that is a human does an insult to the state and the president and number of individuals and civic rights activists have been charged under these laws that intimidates is not in free space either and in 2019. internet was shut down

after practice interrupted again his fuel price increases. you got us constitution provides for freedom of speech but this freedom has limits recently the government introduced a tax on social media anyone who wants to use platforms like facebook twitter or what's up needs to be a daily fee many see that they cannot afford this so use the numbers have reportedly dropped the president has been quoted saying that the reason need. 2 limits on my. critics no do this starts as a restriction on freedom of speech. for 22 years governments were suppressed and denied the right to express that it was another former presidents that men should not speak freely given about this suspect in their lives but everything changed after the former president was forced out of office in 27 to know that guns are free to express their views on the streets on

the media or just outside of media and of course without an artist on the best thing about it the government in many instances listen to the people however there are some who argue that some governments ideas and up on the mental rights by taking the law into their own hands and if nothing is done about it the country might be in chaos do you support the view that gandhi and pops officials of other african countries are being reckless with their freedom of speech let us know your thoughts on our facebook page view africa and now we come to one of my favorite parts of the show what is it like to leave in the only country on the continent that has its own unique alpha bit a country that is a more than 7 years behind the gregorian calendar that most of the was a doozy of you guessed the country yes well hockey all bags because we're joining in your opinion finish on i guess or as he takes as our own he's 80.
