but you're getting. your link to school work around the world you were willing to accept your story and discussion on the use of easy town while whoops i do debbie to come smart because joining us on facebook. for. you. this is steve harvey news africa coming up in the next 15 minutes climate change we'll see how some people in ethiopia off eating it's he thinks then last what action governments on the continent ought to take it. and nigerians celebrated visual arts as general joulwan and the captains on his canvases.

hello i'm christine want to welcome to news africa it's good to have you along. today will be this hour in new york for a summit on the climate crisis leaders from 8 african countries which includes nigeria congo and ethiopia are among the dozens that have been specially invited to talk about what concrete steps they're taking to them it's global warming now you may know this africa isn't a big source of all the greenhouse gases that cause global warming but according to the united nations it's the most vulnerable to the impacts off global warming and they screamed with events such as flooding and drought that come with climate change. we'll talk about how africa as a continent is tackling the climate crisis in just a moment but 1st let's visit one region that's been particularly hit by a lack of rain in ethiopia the so madi region in the country's ways has been experiencing the destructive effects of climate extremes with several years of growing drops. it's been almost 6 months since of last rain in this village and if

you o.p.'s somali region with almost no vegetation to feed on the livestock is dying. from it and her relatives have already lost 8 out of 10 cows and some magician but our lives are very difficult now because we pastoralist our dependence on our livestock 1st our goats and sheep started to die then the cattle. this feed came from the un's food and agriculture organization animal specialists are also carrying out emergency treatments and vaccinations to try and save at least some animals. a little tight that were during a drought i'm almost become weaker and services that support some diseases that's why we have to treat them somewhat hungry come to anything for those animals that died but we hope the others will benefit from the feed and the medicine and will survive and also produce more milk. from. the pastoralist

communities in ethiopia somali region are dependent on their livestock for their food and come up with few alternatives it's vital to save their animals says i think. the building is mostly woods let alone will be very nervous and have passed . their economy kind of you know less expensive and more efficient to to then to protect and serve neighborhoods and before you know last week talking with us $190000.00 animals will be treated during the super rich or. thanks to the newly distributed feed families say their animals are looking stronger. i was one of the lucky ones to benefit from the program her cows are even producing milk again. given our cows milk had dried up but now we are able to get milk college children and the cattle are much healthier. than the management. but drinking water is

a people in the village is still stares and most quality river beds are almost entirely dry in the somali region where pastoralist communities have been suffering for the past 5 years this year again the main winning season from march to many has failed to bring the expected watching the growth in the hopes are high for the small rainy season that usually comes between october and december but as the somali region of the g.o.p. continues to be affected by unseasonal weather experts expect drought there too or in the long term. my guess is a dead man from the world resources institute she's on the international climate action mission if you're media's in new york for the u.n. climate summit welcome to africa yemeni so we're talking about the continent that's what's call it a victim rather than a perpetrator when it comes to contributing to the gases that are making the earth so my question to you is what stake to african leaders present at the summit have.

well you know that there is agreement spirit is one of even if i have come to the personal tribute the least to the problem that's true facing unemployment surge in that the agreed to be part of the solution like the or the smaller these developments. and you know he's also because you know the no that he needs in a sense you know to you know for them to act on climate change is swell. but doing so could be the effect that you can lose all their gains you know sustainable development so they know that he's also on the interest to do so ok i mean he's so kong any progress there. the sight of your already very. yes you have you just i want to get to the point when you talk about i mean concretely what can african countries do if we're talking about countries that don't produce these gases anyway

concretely how would they be tackling climate change. there is those 2 aspects the need to build their resilience because if you're affected by this so that didn't come that sense is really important but in doing so you know one way to be more resilience is by having a better access to energy so you know by moving from force if your energy to the new report of energy and knowing that africa has sources you know plenty of solar source you know is going to be better for them in the long term you know what's the challenge you know what most affected countries is to get the cost to the financing of one finance units you 2 front you know those big projects and to transform this economy but then know that this is the right way to do and says why what you're going to hear in a whole lot of african countries is that they want to move ahead they want to be in

the sense that they want to do the pumps in so being in the problem to reduce their emissions because at this time by doing so a species sectors like energy they can the more so. for development goes ok so we know that 12 countries represented at the summit that track anything in generally when you look at the of the continent more broadly where are the shining examples of who is leading the pack who's doing well when it comes to the fight against climate change. well in terms of example of countries. i think you have more rico who has no no before you should learn how to. be gay should i think the the sector of our culture in addition to energy is one that is very important because you can both need to buy plenty but also you are you stressed your. food security is huge and we've all got lots of new morrocco is

one example of that have. we really gay shouldn't. you have although i mean the lower countries like south africa the fact yes it's all we have time for unfortunately thank you for getting that one in there i made a dead man from the world resources institute thank you thank you. a school classroom collapsed in the kenyan capital nairobi killing at least 7 children dozens more have been injured the elementary school is located in a poor neighborhood off narrow the collapse has been blamed on shoddy construction news melanie credible sent us this report from the site. this is the site of the tragedy this is where 7 children lost their lives more than 50 got injured in the early morning hours after classroom collapsed

a precious time and school. rescue efforts are now over but the 1st responders who rushed to the scene are still in shock like this father whose son luckily survived it is a choice we risk you so we will you was it was a boy we don't know you was dead or whatever but just to keep. to the ambulance yes so i don't see baby was there but it was just quiet. the people gathered here the rescue teams and the parents have questions everyone wants to know why did this happen experts we have spoken to earlier however said they are not surprised that is a little banged up in a similar amount of time i know the risk of pushing it to the private developer how do you build a double story nonsense like this like there will be a nobody sees until children a good government is culpable this school not more than 50 percent of buildings in nairobi especially in the low income neighborhoods was poorly constructed and built

on a weak foundation neighbors and parents say that they had raced safety concerns times with no action being taken the people here say it's the government's responsibility now to act to ensure that this never happens again so the children in nairobi can go to school without having to fear for their lives. and i'm next door is in nigeria's bustling city lagos we will find an artist who has found a very creative way to waste into art. this is more about. this group probably with or. let's see something more here. something more to be. told you never disappoints me. is looking for cans of all sizes and colors his mission to breathe new life into

old waste he does this right here in his workshop and when it comes to waste there is definitely no shortage in lagos lagos state has a population of more than 20000000 people so it's quite clear that a lot of waste is being generated some of it here all the stable turned into our. jerrold cuts the cans into small pieces then he nails them onto a piece of what in 2012 when he began he did everything by himself today he employs a team of 7 people. originally from the east of nigeria when geralt moved to lagos he noticed one thing white away there were piles of trash almost everywhere i wanted to be just as i could do years ago and i was shocked to see that. i'm now i ask myself where all the characters got all the colors i wanted to so i like call us. are initiated

a change in the residence people have become more aware of the trash around them and some have even gone into business selling cans to gerald. this is where the waste comes to life in his our studio in lagos his collection boasts paintings and works made of cannes and ward if you look closely you will discover most of his works emphasize the book being evil himself gerard wants to protect the language which he believes is vanishing and his artwork the objects children to him he says he can always add some color before the work is sold and ultimately he sees himself as both an environmentalist and as an artist muse through this marriage to give me or if you want a group of drugs in life which is. something that really means nothing or that is a problem to a solution i'm not this beautiful geralt is one of many who turn waste into art

they raise environmental awareness while at the same time expressing themselves. is one of few artists who can actually make his living doing this. and there is a foot out from b.w.t.s. africa that told me it's tied by back. of technology. with. the market. made in germany. your business magazine.
