a shot buttin wildlife success story. michael jr you're 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 a buffalo in the west of the country after a heavy rainfall dislodged the at the bottom rescuers were looking for survivors in the remains of slots and homes for more on that story i'm joined by our reporter and cameroon blaze in younger hello blaze now we do understand the local authorities see they want people against building houses in that area but why did not stop them knowing that this could happen. that's true although the government

has laws in place to own construction houses in such areas approved east within the roll call council does the local government target seize. that sometimes go ahead and give people permission to buli induce in such areas and some of these people who earn from your houses in these areas are not so interconnected and something and don't move the risk of of these so it's not like you got many don't know that these people are 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 bunker 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 we don't see a front for the families and people affected by these. also. also taking care of the medical bills. and. make sure that people who are living in environments where these disaster police should immediately be because. of fall in the country or however action speaks louder than words is that really going to happen. it is still to be seen but a lot of people themselves are really afraid so we have a lot of people that even the area because. of the reasons continue to to pull down here. last night and these my my company. ok

blaise a young video be reporting by a camera in many thanks for your insights now follow up on a story do you have you covered it while ago about an official correctional center has or so-called torture houses for drug addicts and one of those centers and got to know the north of nigeria they are now used brutal methods to treat the patients he put them in chains after his arrest our correspondent flows through every 10 to the same center in could do nothing 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 now part of his daily life in this temporary shelter and he spent the past 5 years to see his drug addiction problem at a private rehab center in maine jerry as knowledge and tried to win the state but

he's still far from fully recovered and he. kind of. wasn't the kind of treatment. given to his feet were constantly bound in chains he was allowed to shower only once a month and his bed and clue where infested with lice he tells me. d w visited the same day that if he wants a group we also interviewed zona my lama dude 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 same to informal correctional center as like this have existed for decades in the movies or the range area. commonly called the down body meaning

house of chain was a place where it is believed that an intense freely just indoctrination as a solution to misbehavior including drug abuse in a recent clamp down against these torture houses andy and the 104 to 6 other people who were rescued from here all the rooms have now been part of my nightly clothes for my alarm will double this mocks the end of the world for his rehabilitation of his less. no one knows exactly how many torture houses exist but 3 others have a great debt and shuts down big norco 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 bit extra money to pour the

condition there 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 intension centers where the center could take years to be completed and of the hundreds of men rescued from the torture houses to. the government has agreed to fully fund treatment for only 12 then most have returned to their parents but the future of the seal waiting for help remains very real sets in. joining me now from nigeria is our correspondent flourished grew up a little flourish it's nice to see you but we're going to talk about is not that nice is it home of 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 they're not heeding places and in fact i think what was shocking when we spoke to milan we do defined out 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 is why many people because this relationship that he has with the government is also not he didn't that's why many people are saying that this move by the government to clamp down on the house is simply political just to make them look good so how can we take this serious this move by the government.

well as 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 were 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 just 12 that needed urgent attention however when we went to the temporary come where the rest of the recovering addicts where camps we saw that many of them were still in 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 anything that he needed help and so the government does not have any shot term help these people they've just been left to the fates. simply abandoned. 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. a knock on effect on nearby residents the falling ill because of the tiny parasites carried by bites and sets of flies insects frequent companions of the elephants. the offending destructive beast in this story is this big as far as local farmer. is concerned the church of fly is massive because its bite carries a potentially deadly punch that spreads parasites that in turn cause something called sleeping sickness example i started having bad headaches in constant pain in the legs the pain in the leg started rising up the waste 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. numbers one of the unfortunate consequences could be an increase in to. chatter flood 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.

we can even be bitten by chechen flies into houses infecting us with a serious to cease and killing people who woke. up in my you watch a flies are really killing people. on the end jockey 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 lots of fun are from the news africa you can catch all our stories on our website on fees page well that's a flyer leave you with more pictures from malawi and it's magnificent natural beauty and wildlife enjoyed by phenolic see you next time.
