6:18 pm
think about it i mean it used to be really africa's number one airline until 2015 when it was overtaken by european airlines and from a customer's point of view it still is in a way it's a reliable airline but what we didn't know all along is that it's been stacking up that it's $3900000000.00 u.s. dollars of debt that it's been sticking up and as a matter of fact it hasn't made any profit since 2011 so that's looking bad and it's received bailout after bailout $1400000000.00 u.s. dollars all together what's behind it mismanagement corruption and it's not the only state company that's in the reds it's also eskom the power company is also really not looking good is there any way of saving south african this time. well the rescue practitioners they say they remain hopeful. and they say that is reasonable thought that there's
6:19 pm
a good chance that they'll save it and they want it is coming along. i mean they need to sell those 9 aircraft and they're really old nobody will be really interested they're about to be grounded actually and then they can sell parts of cruft maybe that's a chance but yeah they really need the money that the government has been promising sounds worse than a garage sale i mean it sounds. yeah and it's still i mean it's hard to believe and it's hard to imagine that the number one airline of africa is probably going to go into liquidation. thank you very much for coming in. well a new kind of urban farming is popping up in ghana cities have taken over fertile lands with young farmers claiming back away by filling sacks with soil. priscilla adam is inspecting her small backyard farm and she's become passionate about growing a wide variety of organic crops in socks like many urbanites she has no access to
6:20 pm
farmland. here you can find kosov or vegetables and sugarcane all priscilla needs is a sack and some fertile soil. being very phenomenal yeah i just think that. i guess what that's. coming very beautifully you know let's you it's like nothing whatsoever. nothing and this has been a. very wonderful. lives a short distance from priscilla. he and his family have been growing their own food in socks for months. you know. you can control what you want to eat at all times you know climate change issues
6:21 pm
have been issues of sanitation is been i dress because. i didn't buy you know. some priscilla now teamed up to launch what they called a sock revolution encouraging others to grow projects and sux. agriculture is a key component of god as economy accounting for approximately 42 percent of g.d.p. and employing 54 percent of the country's workforce. but the to see room for improvement they provide daily tips on sock farming to the over 100 members of their soccer of olution messaging group. to help solve the search economy. issues we have in africa and also not to talk about the fact that. very big issues. and you know what goes what is coming out and it's for me it's very satisfying and
6:22 pm
you know that. healthy. peggy dunker was recently introduced to sock farming by victor some purcell or now she and her children are enthusiastic produce growers cultivating a wide variety of different crops. so. you don't need a big space you don't need only did. the block soil. picture some purcell are determined to go far with their initiative they hope to persuade more and more grenade and people from other african nations to start growing food however small the available space. will hunger and malnutrition as some of the greatest challenges facing the planet the population is surging climate change is impacting agriculture crop failures lower yields declining incomes for farmers and the global forum for food and agriculture in berlin over 2000 experts from politics industry and science to trying to tackle those problems. the united
6:23 pm
nations says 800000000 people don't have enough to eat or is most prevalent in developing economies in asia and africa and the world bank says 65 countries including egypt saudi arabia south sudan north korea and singapore did not have enough arable land to produce the food they need collins a study out always from ghana and was at the forum he says international trade is key for achieving food security that's not true it is important especially enough rekha because not all countries have. or resources to produce food for free definition so as you can you can see some african countries start under huge climate change issues drought and so it's often sort of and a lot of these so it would be are not able to produce enough food to feed them powerful pollution and if you are not it would to feed entire population with a food that you produce what do you do you do how does that population get food
6:24 pm
because the consumer is also important to the need to get food they need to get food to eat nutrition and to be healthy to be able to work on no 2 to support the economy so this is where truth becomes very much important so you need to import you need to import of those who are not be able doesn't have to be the right sort of trade i mean the european union floods africa with cheap frozen chicken for example local farmers can't even compete with that even if they do have the land. chickens when will that change for example. i think it's a must in some way because in there for example to look at you can really be coming from ghana there's this huge debate about the importance of chicken not only from euro but also from the u.s. and from brazil these are the countries that are sports and chicken parts or chicken meat to ghana and it's very much important that if you look at their look upward action in ghana it's it's below what people are demanding so this is the
6:25 pm
month and the month is very very huge for example if you look at the from the u.n. country i think in 2018 almost 200000 metric tons of chicken was imported compared to what was produced about 151000 metric tons so you see their god is very huge how can that be changed how can that gap be. be decreased how can we create fair rules for agricultural trade. so for me this sort of. people are calling for because. if you ban it the producers are not able to produce to me did you monitor what you need to do is the rest of the government needs to invest in our records our government needs to invest. in facilities to invest in farmers so that farmers will be able to be productive in order to produce to meet up so and in the short term what needs to be done is most if investments in
6:26 pm
switzerland for example are going to portray industry. so that maybe in the long term if you consider important one or read the entire if by the time farmers will be able to produce enough to drive or to which is created by this is the moment. we'll have to leave it there collins thank you very much for joining us. the u.s. government's order of safety agency is looking into allegations that tesla's electric vehicles can suddenly excel right of their own accord an unidentified person petition the national highway traffic safety administration to look into it an agency document outlining the allegations shows $127.00 complaints from colorado's include crashes and injuries u.s. authorities say the allegations include about a half a 1000000 tesla model 3 s. at x. cars sold from 2013 to 2019. weeks of demonstrations in france disrupting one of paris's biggest revenue drivers tourism anyone visiting the capital would
