7:30 pm
you know my grandchildren were born after the war mourn in a really. 3 generation. on a journey through recent german history in. stores there were 6 on d w. this is deja vu news africa coming up in the next 15 minutes it's all the wasteful zimbabweans march against u.s. and e.u. sanctions the government says the measure is all stopping economic recovery but is that true. and how climate change has become the latest blow to the fight against malaria. then the nigerian youngster is doing tricks to stay out of trouble.
7:31 pm
hello i'm christine wonderwall come to africa it's good to have you along thousands of people marched across zimbabwe today against u.s. and e.u. sanctions on the country those taking pause and the government backed him astray should say the sanctions have crippled the economy by the way that economy is in deep crisis the i.m.f. reported inflation in august reach 300 percent and it's predicted some always economy will shrink by 3 percent this year. but both the e.u. and the u.s. say the sanctions they've imposed on zimbabwe did not target the economy and entre sponsible for the country's problems here's a quote from an african affairs official with the u.s. state department that's t. board and he said there's a very false narrative out there which i want to correct some people say the united states has sanctions against the country of zimbabwe we do not repeat do not have
7:32 pm
sanctions against the country of zimbabwe we have sanctions against certain individuals and certain corporations but not against the country of zimbabwe there is nothing to stop u.s. businesses from investing in zimbabwe. now to be precise the u.s. sanctions target $85.00 officials of the government officials who almost who are mostly government officials that's right it also banned the u.s. companies from dealing with $56.00 zimbabwean companies some banks and some off farms and then there's a ban on military exports to the country now the e.u. only has sanctions on former president robert mugabe and his wife grace correspondent spoke to people at the end to sanctions march in the. country and again it was the bible when trying to do these because you know along the line here they must understand that zimbabwe safari sumption it's a formal for me. that's what is is it but
7:33 pm
a flick on the zimbabwean i have to stay in for the cool sanctions if course does damage in zimbabwe to the people of. the companies who have the. wit if we are we are facing a. breach in america and its allies so we are seeing the enough is enough now not all of them bobby and took part in the government protests against sanctions some are of the view that the economic problems all home made. the joins me from harare he'll give us the opposition m.d.c. alliance if you welcome to the africa doctors about what is your party's position on the sanctions are they stifling the economy. well no i think that it is but it clear to have risen bobbie and it is mismanagement it is the corruption it is also the irresponsibility of this regime
7:34 pm
on political. reforms that is this for the economy of the country faces look we have never had no business will invest in a country where people can be killed. for no particular reason and there is no justice fest instituted a commission of inquiry which didn't turn up with things that implemented we have lost 20000000000 to corruption and the crisis ok talked about i want to put this quote see you have a u.s. official who has seen as a chris coons and he says and i quote relieving sanctions would provide significant economic life for zimbabwe because it would encourage foreign direct investment i mean this is a u.s. senate said basically saying that the sanctions all very effective well look we know about the government has been spending a lot of money nearly half
7:35 pm
a $1000000.00 that we don't have trying to get one of 2 u.s. politicians to make positive coalmines about this subject years affect that every zimbabwean and which is why they didn't turn up at the stadium today knows that is that the government is the one that's maintaining sanctions on the people of zimbabwe and has done so for nearly 40 years we know that these are the be of government can unilaterally remove these sanctions imposed by any other country on the basis of simply implementing the forms that are required why does involve and not just by us or any of them or any other comments about it at one of time here because you made an end allegation against a government that some government officials have also made the allegations against your party saying that it is the opposition that is going to the waste and calling for more sanctions on zimbabwe what do you make of that and at the station is there truth to that. if this government believes the president as the leader of the opposition has the respect of the international
7:36 pm
community then it would be advised to resign allow the person who is able to come on the international respect and be in a relationship with other countries to run the country remember they stole this election last year through the process pretending that they could run the country while defending and they continuously say it is in fact present a missile can run things who can be able to shoot appropriate reforms for this country to move forward so i think that then they should just step outside the incapable that's what every lead off a country does they do well with those just about that doesn't let me come in here because it's not only the government of zimbabwe calling for for the removal of these sanctions it's that it's that the regional body said that it's the african union are they missing the mark. the they are doing that i don't see what they are doing that because these are supposed to be a subject day affection and all we saw is that the there was an election in south africa on election in
7:37 pm
a zombie an election in tanzania and there was no action in zimbabwe itself so this is just a group of leaders as malema from south africa eyes a saved. guy did we can see that zimbabweans schon this much it is a lot of the day today here in nevada so clearly these are some people who all you know about the reality the top people even people understand situation the fact of the matter is that zanu p.f. has the sole responsibility and can you not only deal with any form of sanctions that you displaced on the people of zimbabwe then but today they have. spent a lot of money and have got nothing south africa has done nothing that stops and when it was. the m.d.c. alliance thank you. now this is the mosquito that carries malaria threatening millions of people on the continent traditionally people living at high altitudes have been spared from the threat because africa's highlands are traditionally colder and so are mosquito free
7:38 pm
but now mosquitoes are creeping up mountains and finding new homes there thanks to the warming temperatures being shit in by climate change. every 2 minutes a child dies of malaria worst affected countries in sub-saharan africa. it's this female mosquito that spreads the parasites causing malaria. thanks to the rollout of massive anti malaria campaigns many regions in africa have seen a sharp drop in malaria cases and deaths in the past 2 decades but progress is now stalling. worryingly malaria is on the rise especially in east africa partly responsible for this this climate change in the kilimanjaro region in east africa malaria used to be rare it's high altitude makes it too cold for mosquitoes now rising temperatures have opened the door to the spread of malaria in africa as
7:39 pm
highlands. peters or kerry malaria all becoming president and some of the places where they were placing. the coldest points of become less cold in these higher altitude areas but obviously that's a very worrying development climate change is also triggering bigger and more frequent storms like cycle and began to hit mozambique and parts of zimbabwe earlier this year mosquitoes thrive in the sheer masses of standing water left behind hopes are high for a malaria vaccination currently piloting in kenya ghana and malawi but of african countries want to win the fight against malaria they need to take steps to deal with these fresh challenges. from coffee beans to oxford brewing coffee from beings as nothing special but any of them into an entry in the guineas book of records
