cut. to. the making if you. could cut out. the. arabs the best . this is the wus coming to you live from a building collapses in nairobi a fear dead rescue workers of course 10 people after the rubble alive but the desperate search goes on for most of our lives as we go live to the kenyan capital for the day meetest also coming up jimmy's child the uncle of metal remembers the victims of one of the worst crimes against humanity. shortly to make

a 1st official visit to the auschwitz death camp where the nazis nadda more than a 1000000 people most of them jews. and francis battle as well one of his biggest nationwide strikes in decades public sector employees are protesting against proposed pension reforms and they are not finished yet so what will happen on friday we get the latest from paris. hello and welcome on the dutch a 6 story building has collapsed in kenya's capital nairobi authorities say some could be trucked in the debris military personnel have arrived to assist with the search and rescue operation after local sports 10 survivors from the rubble with their bare hands building collapses are common in nairobi a recent survey by kenya's national. construction and found more than half of the

city's buildings were unfit for habitation. did of these cars one is good money joins me now from nairobi egypt what more can you tell us about this building collapse and return not much more than what we already know which is that it was a 6 story building which collapsed in the early morning early morning hours today and people were unfortunately trapped in their sleep and this is the rescue effort that's currently unfolding a lot of the people in that area have really crowded this region trying to get a glimpse of what is happening which is of course making it a lot more difficult for rescue services to get there let's not forget that they will be has also been experienced a quite heavy rainfall so it's making it a lot more difficult for the rescue services to get to the region and also of these services are stretched thin because most of them have been deployed to take care of the people who've been affected by floods so it's a really really desperate situation that's unfolding this right. now as the search

for risk for finding survivors continues it seems that buildings collapse quite often in nigeria why is that the case in nairobi this is actually something that's making a lot of people few reus you know it's only been a couple of hours since this building collapsed and already on social media people are demanding accountability because as you rightly said this is not new here in kenya that report that you mentioned earlier on did say that 58 percent of the buildings in the city are not ok for habitation rhythmix you think that is a buildings that are probably on the verge of collapse and even now when there's heavy rainfall people really don't know if they're safe in their homes and this usually happens because of corruption people want to make a quick buck not necessarily meeting all the standards and the consequence is what we're seeing today potential deaths flood is good money in nairobi thank you very much for that. and i do apologize for that slip up i

did mean nairobi and not nigeria that would have been you up to date with some of the stories making news around the world in india 4 men accused of raping and killing a 27 year old woman have been shot dead by police this say police say that the men were killed as they tried to escape custody the burned body they alleged victims found last week the rape and killing of the woman had sparked nationwide protests. a huge fire is heading towards the straightest largest city sydney a car to see the blaze formed out of a series of bush fires and is burning out of control north of the city climate change is being blamed for the fires that have been raging for months. years democratic presidential candidate joe biden has called a voter at a campaign event a damn liar the man suggested biden had head to sunland lucrative job at

a ukrainian oil for president trump's efforts to push that claim about biden at the center of an impeachment inquiry against him. germany's chancellor angela merkel is due to arrive shortly at the auschwitz birkenau memorial in poland the site was the nazi regime largest death camp during the 2nd world war this is john's 1st official visit that did obvious thomas farah joins me now from the. camp how significant is this visit by chance to mecca to the camp. i'm retired is very significant in fact this visit is being described as one of historic dimensions i'm going to work with as you said it's coming here for the 1st time she's been chancellor for 14 years and she's only the 3rd chancellor to have visited this site after him which meet and had more to call it but it's also important because i'm going to michael is going to bring a message and that message is that germany is donating $68000000.00 euros both from

the federal and from regional governments for the fund for the auschwitz fund in order to preserve this site which is an incredibly important not only for poland but also for germany and for japanese culture of remembrance and we can clearly have a look at what that means in this piece that we produced. what sets you free the nazis notorious slogan looms above the entrance to the auschwitz memorial. horace we're committed here now it has become an important tourist destination for visitors from around the well it's over the past 10 years visited numbers have doubled more than 2000000 people now visit auschwitz every year. and. it's very moving through hard not to cry and we'll see on t.v. on freedom's many many times by the 1st time that you see the 1st time in person that's pretty reset itself is really important like a place is giving greet people kind of impression about what happened what people

went through and so on but i think that we are paying too much attention to the buildings to the place itself to the general names and things we've gotten too small attention to what was really important so where it all came from. the memorial site is set to add a new exhibition rooms to accommodate all the visitors pavel's to vicki says the an ending stream of guests says posed a real challenge. the numbers of visitors that we are getting are already overwhelming this is la just to clean difficult operation so we are also planning to build a completely new visitor center that will be slightly at the side of the historical . site of the comp and it will also help us from this very well just a good point of view or. even the better december cold doesn't stop people visiting the parks in the canal concentration camp. here the nazis murdered more than 1000000 people mostly jews they died 3 manju tristian

disease or in the gas chamber. now the barracks a crumbling but renovation work has started the goal is that they look like the original yes a steady enough to withstand hard winter is a task that may take decades to accomplish. was vanya thought just tough it's important to dismantle the barracks with very careful consideration for the historical location of the challenges to integrate the necessary store onus and precision into the process. we document everything in advance in order to be able to restore the place accurately prout's our. precision is also key when it comes to preparing items to go on display in this case conservation material used in the past has to be carefully removed because it's now understood

to be damaging the exhibits. the goal is not to repair the objects but to preserve them. and your collector these objects reflect the history of our so there deformation contamination the fact that some objects are not complete at all this is testimony to what happened here. still there are plans to change the exhibition the present one was largely designed in 1958 by survivors who focused on the fate of the victims pictures of the perpetrators were hardly bearable for them but in the future their history will be included as well. when we asked one of the most important educational questions about the story about us which is the question why this is not a story about the victims does a story about people who accepted this ideology chose to join the nazi party cho chose to join the s.s. and day where here and they were working and at the same time they were bringing up

their children it's almost 75 years since auschwitz was liberated germany is now providing another 60000000 euros to support the memorial site in an attempt to ensure the horrors of the holocaust and not forgotten. returning now to our correspondent almost a fellow who is standing by there was chancellor merkel has been office for 14 years why she making this trip to auschwitz now. i'm retired there have been questions as to why i'm going to work left to this visit to auschwitz birkenau until the end of chancery the official answer from the government in that particular case is that i'm going to michael has already visited other former concentration camps for example who can vote or dock how and it is also pointed out that that's not only a responsibility for the german chancellor in fact various presidents have been here to auschwitz birkenau in the past also german foreign ministers so they see this as something that goes beyond the government that affects the german state as a whole and that's why for example in the upcoming celebrations where the 5075th

anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz that ceremony will be attended by the german president frank i touched on my own so what does america visit mean for survivors of the holocaust it means a lot in fact i'm going to merkel will be accompanied by one survivor that comes at a time at a very important time i would say for auschwitz many of the survivors dying many of those that witnessed that directly are no longer there to do so so this is a particularly important time for auschwitz where they're trying to also identify how to communicate all what everything that happened here to newer generations so the fact that german chancellor comes here and comes here accompanied by a survivor means a lot not only to them but also to the foundation here and now it's broken now as a whole town with farah thank you very much for that and this commemoration start in about an hour from now and we'll bring you live coverage of those commemorations on. turning out to france which is bracing for more disruption

as the country's largest strike in decades enters its 2nd day founded sector workers are protesting against president a man in the cross plans to reform the pension system transport schools and hospitals are facing faced serious disruptions on thursday some cities so clashes between protesters and security forces hundreds of thousands of people also took part in peaceful protests the unions are deciding how long to keep their members out on strike target the tests are expected in the days ahead. and because one of these loses standing in front of god in north in paris which is one of the city's busiest really stations he's another difficult day for commuters what can they expect today well the public transport sector is still largely at a standstill here in france where people yesterday well they knew about the strike and many people plan for it they stayed at home worked from home took a day off but now things are different today people want to go back to work and

that's why this morning there was lots of traffic jam actually around paris specially the 300 meters of traffic jam people trying to get to the city especially as the local transport system the air are a.t.p. the metro is still not working properly so people are trying to get back to work but the country is really largely blocked yet and this is how much public support is there for the demands of the unions. while they're the majority of the fans are in favor of the strike and support to demonstrate the protesters many people here understand that the pension system needs to be reformed in some way but they don't trust president to do the right thing they think that those who are already struggling to make ends meet are probably have less money after the reforms so they're asking him to change things but they're asking him to take away money from richer people not from poorer people the reforming the pension system

responded a man in a close election campaign pledge so how is he now reacting to these strikes and this opposition. yes you're right that was one of the centerpieces of his program when he was running for president and he knows that this reform is crucial for him and in order to maintain the support of the voters who are still supporting him when he came to power he was saying you know i'm either from the left neither nor from the right but he has now after a few years largely lost support from left wing voters the center right voters that still support him trust him because they believe that he can reform the country so he knows that getting through this reform might prove crucial and when it comes to his chances to get reelected in 2022 and what can we expect in terms of protest action in the coming days the strike is going to go on teachers are still on strike hospitals are still on strike transfer unions have said that they

will continue would continue for a few days at least until next monday and there are more demonstrations planned over the weekend not really pension reform demonstrations but you know julie's on yellow vests demonstrations then won by a union against a recent labor market reform unemployment benefit reform and climate strike and you can expect more to cations between the police and demonstrators over the weekend more strike days to come the government will try to negotiate with the strikers with the demonstrators and find a solution they said that they would announce the details of the reform next week and they will try to calm down people and hoping that they will be able indeed to push through this reform lisa lewis in paris thank you very much for that update on the strike action in the country. in washington news coming up in the program ahead victory for animal conservation we look at how one does manage to

reverse the trend in its drinking gorilla population. but 1st climate activists gratitude as a drive by train in the spanish capital madrid ahead of a friday is for a future march and advocate of carbon free transit the 16 year old recently completed a weeklong weeks long boat journey across the atlantic from the u.s. tried as much coincides with top 25 the u.n. climate conference which turn back is also due to a 10 the conference hopes to resolve remaining disagreements on how to tackle the climate crisis many are already feeling the effects of climate change we have this report from lagos. in the nigerian megacity lagos the poor feel the heat hottest temperature than one of africa's biggest cities are rising hurting people's health and making daily chores even more taxing in the city sprawling slums poor

construction and overcrowding make heatwaves worse. there is no ventilation when the sun beats down on community blog amazes and he built this time himself from wooden planks top hole and nylon and cardboard after authorities demolished his old house in a massive diction. well developments well you don't get us. just. scorched by rising temperatures and wary of both already some residents up building their way out of heat waves. aka tecpatl matteo has designed a training center for him with children that he has passive cooling to keep temperatures lurd inspired by traditional nigerian architecture almost a year just compressed bricks that he took during the day and release energy at night when shape truth disperses heat by diverting air flow he says cities are not

doing enough to guard against temperature increases. heat is rising it keeps rising as the city develops as we're not dealing with pollution as we build tighter and tighter spaces so i think it's really critical that people think about heat when thinking about design. but with lagos growing at breakneck speed and near rather than settling mainly in slums people may need more than innovative design to stay cool. and intervention from the environment desk worked on that for 40 now joins me in the studio welcome to the how well are african cities coping with climate change so we spoke to dozens of confinement x. engineers architects across the continent and i think the answer whether it's. things aren't happening fast enough there's a lot of small scale solutions and there's a lot of promising things happening at the community level but what we have time and time again with these solutions on being translated up to the city level where

they can actually have the most impact and what kind of particularly difficult for the cities involved in this like lagos like kyra is that they often like the funds to actually implement these solutions on a large scale and also that they often like the day to to actually know exactly how best to go about so what kind of climate issues are they facing. so we still heat in this report and i mean water is the massive issue so in a city like cairo you're faced with twin problems of rising sea levels but also water scarcity of rainfall becomes a bit more erratic and but i mean in the city in other cities like and we take kampala in uganda for instance i'm not city that's growing at breakneck speed and i think something like a child born that day will see the city doubled in size by the time he or she turn 30 now in cities like that you've got most of this development happening in informal settlements or slums and also

a lot of this is happening in places where these be say weapons where rainwater would kind of get drained away and sometimes these climate changes issues come together with other night zation issues and in kampala we've got examples of high amounts of waste being generated by a population that's really quickly growing leads to a lot of blockages of drainage channels and all of this means that when you are in with climate change where we see more rain heavier rain you get really far more damaging floods so there's a huge range of issues a lot of which i think one expert from the red cross put it to me like this that you have these multiple vulnerabilities kind of working on top of each other. so are there any going to success stories from the region that you can share with us yes there in a city like darth alarm in tanzania they've i mean they have this big problem of pollution and congestion and one thing that they did was to design what's called a bus rapid transit system so i think most people mostly of the many cities might

be quite familiar with metro systems and underground sort of train basis them but what they'd of of a lot simpler which is simply to build a motorway or a massive road in which only buses are allowed to go on and the thoughts lucian's on the 30 pretty your innovative are exciting but often they're a lot more cost effective because you're saying that only buses are allowed to go on this road and not private cars and in doing so you can reduce pollution in congestion. and other quick example of climate awareness seems to be spreading their effort barometer polling agency did this gigantic survey of 45000 africans that they published in the summer and they found that i think 2 in 3 africans who had heard of climate change could see that it was actively making quality of life in their country were us that of course good chris a degree of optimism about the region and to the london from the w s environment disk busy to talk to you thanks. let me now with some stories making news around the world the lot his organization says the

number of deaths from measles is on the rise the latest figures show the disease killed about 140000 people last year nearly 15 percent more than the year before it cites failure to vaccinate children as a key reason for the increase. clashes broke out which include some social justice protesters in chile skakel santiago on thursday the number of demonstrators was noticeably then in the past 2 months of social unrest some said violence was scaring people away. not as an animal conservation and the mountain gorillas of rwanda were on the brink of extinction but after a concerted campaign the numbers are rising again a decade ago they were just 680 but now they're more than a 1000 their status has changed from critically injured endangered to just endangered so how did this happen take a look at. a very rare sight this mountain gorilla is one
