a surge in misinformation around vaccines in general and in particular around missiles vaccine this is a very high concern for us because families parents are really vulnerable to misinformation children under the age of 5 account for 90 percent of measles tests in the d.l.c. the vaccination campaign in response to this latest epidemic has yielded some positive results the areas targeted in recent weeks have already seen a drop in the number of new cases. the population the advantage of the vaccination. vaccinated child is a protected child even if the epidemic appears suddenly you will always be protected with e.g. the battle to contain the ebola virus still simmering in the d.l.c. has swallowed many resources in a country where the health care system is already severely overstretched but as officials battle measles on multiple fronts the disease is quickly overtaking him

stuck to vincent such an elf on the wall at health organization talking to us from kinshasa thank you. now i admit i have never thought about how the way i wave my hate could be affecting the environment until i heard about a woman in kenya who has found a whale for pasing synthetic hay extensions with a natural material that's beautiful the hay and the environment. at this hairdressing salon in nairobi they use size so for hair extensions and braids in a wide variety of colors they are one of the saloon assume took us a bully came up with the idea to use a fibers in head dressing she founded as a braids 2 years ago after kenya had banned single use plastic products and to then hex tensions were usually made of plastic i prefer. on say so because maybe compost may wind rain doesn't they make their hair grow in doesn't

cut to have one being painted size so 5 by extensions are not just eco friendly they also proved to be cheaper over time the hairdressers here say demand is growing. braiding with size so here is very good because even when my clients and do their hair they still use them but the thing said to care it's only used one is safe and then thrown away the difference is that this text will not to braid and like synthetic hair and it also states know within city care i braid very fast that some took us a boy drives once a week to come again almost 400 kilometers west of nairobi together so it's a lives and process the 5 best together with employee as a carer malacca. hair

fibers are soaked in alcohol in solution to soften them and then left to dry then they have died. and packaged each set for they quiver and off one us dollar some took us a boor is confident she could grow our business in relation to come and this invention is due to the notice from the central government of kenya. they said that this to emphatically. polluting the environment i removed and right on me so i stayed and found how to remove phatic ones when i try to kick them they take the biodegradable natural hair on i meant back to the zone in nairobi she dreams of sending her eco friendly fashion products around the world one day but for now she is concentrating on the domestic market in kenya. i think that's incredible now in tanzania a women's soccer team on the island of zanzibar is challenging

a culture that believes only men should play football female players they're all competing in the league off their own despite strong opposition from family and the community. too many people in sons of women playing sport to simply i'm heading especially a sport like football which is course it is a men's game but these talented young women are privileged pushing back against old school attitudes. one of them going to be awesome or i i love food bowl because i know i'm talented as a woman playing football is amazing i was in 3rd grade when i started to play later courts nasra notice that i was playing with boys in here and rolled me to play in her team and the women fighters each morning connect on. court nasra juma is well known insults about she's become famous for her advocacy of

equal rights for girls in football. over the years she has faced fierce opposition and has constantly have to convince parents and families to let daughters please include in somebody. was like well it wasn't easy at 1st we had to plead with some by his parents and educate them about the sports they refused we went back again and again until the and us to let the community also. i understood that you were just interested in playing football and not in making mischief. sounds to women like courts musharraf's fighting for their rights like somebody can enjoy the freedom to the game that. most of the time our biggest supporters is our boys our age but older people are still reluctant to show their support like my parents they didn't want me to play our neighbors told them a girl playing football is not a good thing so they were under a lot of pressure from other people going here. but in the end so

by his parents finally allowed her to play her mother's initial opposition to some by his wish to play football was driven by one specific fear the feeling. when no one on one of them either while i was scared that she already would get married i wonder who will marry a female footballer but he is married has a child in her own home so she hasn't had any problems because she plays football around the world only. wife took up mia sabbahi in here team has come a long way for them being able to play in such an open space is a testament that change is slowly taking place. and that is it from the tipping is africa you can catch all our stories online it's on our website and facebook page now all the docs christians like this man in ethiopia celebrate christmas on
