oh good my story. with exclusive insight. and a must see concerning our culture team europe. the place to be for curious minds. do it yourself networkers. subscribing and don't miss out on. this news africa coming up on the program. again live in the woods is that didn't stop that. we need to because the landslide comes clean thousands of lives are coming. also coming out corrections and says incorrectly choosing drug addicts this facility in nigeria's communist leaders want to meet their god as . it's called you talk to house and. also that tiny a fly on the power. to get out they have

a wash on the wildlife success story aloud. here welcome to the program authorities in cameroon say the people who died in the landslide on monday built homes on unsafe ground despite its government warnings more than 40 people were killed in the town of about 4 some in the west of the country after a heavy rainfall dislodged the at the bottom rescuers were looking for survivors in the remains of flattened homes for more on that story i am joined by our reporter and cameroon blaze a young. now we do understand the local authorities see the people against building houses in that area about why they did not stop them knowing that this could happen . that's true although the government has laws in place through trying to

construct in houses in such areas approved ease within the local council does the local government target seize the core of that sometimes go ahead and give people permission to view induce in such areas and some of these people who earn from your houses in these areas are not so interconnected and sometimes don't move the risk of these so it's not like they've got many of these people living in these pieces is just that you have corruption corruption involved here but why would people live in areas classified as dangerous zones. carron is very rich in terms of resources but the people themselves out war so lots of people cannot afford to buy expensive land in big cities like by some so some of them are forced to go. in these dangerous places because it's a big cheap to go to london. so tell us quickly government is trying to deal with

the current landslide disaster how exactly are they helping the situation the government has about 25 me don't see a front for the families and people affected by these. also. also taking care of the medical bills. and trying to make sure that people who are living in environments where these disaster please she immediately because. of fall in the income for our action speaks louder than words is that really going to happen. oh out. it's still to be seen but a lot of people themselves are already have freed so we have a lot of people that even the area because they think that the rains continue to cool down here. last night like these my my company.

ok lazy young reporting by a camera and many thanks for your insights now a follow up on a story did have you covered it while ago about an official correctional census also called torture houses for drug addicts and one of those centers and got to know that north of nigeria they are now used brutal methods to treat the patients he put them in chains after his arrest our correspondence flows trickle returned to the same center in cardona and sent us this report. good food fresh air and time to rest the things andy dick way could only dream of while he was in rehab and to show that and now part of his daily life in this temporary shelter and he spent the past 5 years she's seen his drug addiction problem at the privates rehab center in nigeria's north and do not state but he's still far from fully

recovered i need a muscle now find balance on my mother and take me down there so that maybe do. treat them with. parts kind of frequent hours knew that it was not wasn't the kind of treatment. given to his feet with constantly bound in chains he was allowed to show out when the once a month and he's dead and proves what infested with nights he tells him. d.w. visited the center if he wants a group we also interviewed my lama doodle he did not want to elaborate why he kept his patients in chains we filmed secretly as we were not given access to many parts of the center informal correctional center as like this have existed for decades in the moves of nigeria they're commonly called the down body meaning house of

chambers a place where it is believed that an intense feeling of just indoctrination as a solution to misbehavior including drug abuse in a recent clampdown against these torture houses and the and the 146 other people who were rescued from here all the rooms have now been permanently closed for malar moved to this marks the end of the world for his rehabilitation of distress no one knows exactly how many torture houses exist but 3 others have read it and shuts down the ignore call form with the best practices and we believe that rehab is not supposed to be at your house a rehab it's not supposed to have people where they're being chained and being deprived of source of livelihood most especially the extra money to pour the

condition that is also very poor and then. some of the facilities actually don't even have enough troops to accommodate the number of people that we met there she also tells me the state government plans to build 3 major rehab intention centers for this center could take years to be completed and of the hundreds of men rescued from the torture houses to date the government has agreed to fully fund treatment for only 12 them most have terms of their parents but the future of those seal waiting for help remains very real certain. joining me now from nigeria is our correspondents flourish grow a little flourish it's nice to see you but we're going to talk about is not mine is that how have such pieces existed for decades without. being

drawn to it i mean how does this even happen. well the government authorities have been aware of places like this for us long as everyone else has been aware of them they are not secret places done not he didn't places and in fact i think what was shocking when we spoke to milan would do define doubt of this particular place that we visit ted was how close he was to many government officials he took us to his office showed us several awards he had received and also people chose top government officials and top police officers and that's is why many people because this relationship that he has with the government is also not heeding that's why many people are saying that this move by the government to clamp down on your house is simply political just to make them look good so how can we take this seriously this move by the government.

well as 6 we've heard many hundreds of men and women have been rescued from these houses well how do we take them any serious when it seems as if the government does not have any alternative plans to help these people many of them are simply returned back to their families and the government only decided to care for 12 of them when i spoke to the commission as she said that those were the 12 that needed urgent attention however when we went to the temporary come where the rest of the recovering addicts were kept we saw that many of them west feel the need of medical attention in fact andy the young man we interviewed in the report while we were talking he could barely stand. he was shaking seriously i think he had a lot of sweat coming out and he kept on repeating everything that he needed help and so the government does not have any shock term constant help these people they've just been left to the afi their families all. that is

definitely. but you know be correspondent in lagos nigeria thank you for your time . now in malawi there were location of hundreds of elephants that was meant to be a sign of hope and when you will knock on effect on you know by residents falling ill because of the tiny parasites carried by bites and sets of flies insects sequence companions of the elephants. the offending destructive beast in this story is this big as far as local farmers and jockeys concerned the chuch of fly is massive because it's by carries a potentially deadly punch that spreads parasites that in turn cause something called sleeping sickness. i started having bad headaches and constant pain in the legs the pain in the leg started rising up the waist and the forced me to get help

at the hospital. the problem is the company the church of fly keeps these elephants about 600 of them were successfully relocated to the inn kotoko to reserve to save them from poachers a wildlife success story it's a bit ironic because it's. negative some of this exists by piecing animal numbers one of the unfortunate consequence is an increase in numbers chet's or fly traps and pesticide doust targets are being tested by conservationists in the park and the malawi government. district hospital is testing the blood of those who show symptoms of a sleeping sickness caused by the flies but one infant child has died villagers and farmers are still on edge. as we speak things are quite bad.

but how much we can even be bitten by chechen flies and houses infecting us with the serious to see and killing people. a couple might you are really killing people. on the end jocky farm we visited earlier where her husband she is still weak from his bout with sleeping sickness in us daniel must now handle just about everything an exhausting venture caused by a tiny fly and its huge companions. well that's a fun are from the news africa you can catch all our stories on our website on fees paid well that's a flyers or not we'll leave you with more pictures from malawi and it's magnificent natural beauty and wildlife enjoyed by fine i'll see you next time.
