hello i'm christine want to welcome to news africa it's good to have you along. today will be this hour in your foreign summits 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 limits global warming now you may know this africa isn't a big source of 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 the stream where the events such as flooding and droughts that come with climate change . will talk about how africa as a continent is tekken 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 on going drops. it's been almost 6 months since that last rain in this village in

ethiopia somali region with almost no vegetation to feed on the livestock is dying . cometh 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. during the drought animals become weaker and services that support some diseases that's why we have to treat them so much hong kong 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 income with few alternatives it's vital to save their animals says i think you're. doing this most likely would she not only be very enormous and have passed. their economy clearly no less expensive and more efficient to to to then to protect and serve neighborhoods and before you know their last cocoa more than one 190000 animal it will be treated during the supervision. 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 for cows or even producing milk again i'm going to our cows milk had dried up but now we're 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 stress and most quality river beds are almost entirely dry in the somali region where pastoralist communities have been suffering drought for the past 5 years this year the main winning season for march 2 men 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 and seasonal weather experts expect conic drought there too are seen in the long term. i guess it 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 hotter 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 the even needs of the continent the personal should be the least to the problem that's refacing of climate change in that the agreed to be part of the solution like the or the smaller these developments. and you know this is also because you know the know that he needs in a sense you know to you know for them to act on climate change as well. but doing so could be the effect that you can lose all their gains. developments so they know that he's also on the interest to do so ok i mean he is so calm and he appeared great. sidecar you know really great that. yes he had me to say i want to get to the point where you talk about i mean concretely what's can african countries do if we're talking about countries that don't produce these gases any way concretely how

would they be technically i'm a change. there is there's 2 aspects the need to build a resilient 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 1st 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 for most african countries is to get the cost to the financing of from finance units you to front you know those big projects and to transform this economy but then know that this is the right way to do and see why what you're going to hear in a whole lot of african countries is that you want to move ahead they want to be an

issue and they want to do the pumps in so being in the problem to reduce their emissions because of this time by doing so is the shooting sectors like image and they can the more so. it's you know their development goes ok so we know that 12 countries represented at the summit that are at the m.e.b. and in generally when you look at the of the continent more broadly where are the shining examples of who is leading the pack who is doing well when it comes to the fight against climate change. well in terms of the example of countries. i think you have more rico who has no nobody who should know how to. gauge the the sector of our culture in addition to it he is one that is very important because you can both need to buy plenty in both also you are that you stress your. food security is you and we've all got lots of morrocco is one example

of that have. we really gay shouldn't. you have although your mediocre lights are a part 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 b. they collapse is being blamed on shoddy construction 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 talent school. rescue efforts are now over for the 1st responders who rushed to the scene are still in shock like this father whose son luckily survived it is a risk you fear so you will you was it was a boy who i don't know you was dead or whatever but just to keep. to the ambulance yes so you're going to see everybody 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 us will bump 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 these. and 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 story is nigeria's bustling city lagos will find an artist who's found a very creative way to. waste into art. this is more about. this group probably with or. from more of the 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. a lot of waste is being generated some of it here all the stable turned into our. cuts the cans into small pieces then he nails them onto a piece of wood in 2012 when he began he did everything by himself today he employs a team of 7 people. originally from the east of nigeria and moved to lagos he noticed one thing white away there were piles of trash almost everywhere i wanted to be. and i was shocked to see that. people can i know i asked myself. all the characters got all the colors i wanted to so i like carlos. initiated

a change in the residence people have become more aware of the trash 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 cans and ward if you look closely you will discover most of his works emphasize the church being evil himself gerard wants to protect the language which he believes is vanishing and his artwork the objects are like 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. a group of drugs in life which is. something that really means nothing or that is a problem to a solution i'm glad it's beautiful geralt is one of many who turn waste into art

they raise environmental awareness while at the same time expressing themselves but . is one of few artists who can actually make his living doing this. and that is a foot out from africa. by back. to something entirely different i ask him for generous or dealing with killed many civilians. my father so i was a student i wanted to build a life for myself. but suddenly life became elish kind zob. providing insights global news that matters w for mines. take personally us.
