kenya think so we'll tell you why. hello i'm kristie want to welcome to news africa it's good to have your company in the coming now is these motorcycle taxis will be eagle in nigeria's business capital lagos the state government announced the ban on the motorcycles known as because of what it described as the chaos and disorderliness and scary fake is often fatal accidents now drivers in lagos took to the streets to protest the band which starts on the 1st of february the bikes you see off a key source of income for thousands of young men living in the city. an attempt to keep and this police man is trying to keep trying off the street

it's only the beginning of the morning rush hour but traffic is already jammed try sickles and motorbikes known as okada are by far the cheapest and fastest mode of transport. this is one of the easiest ways of getting through heavy traffic in lagos but soon people here won't be able to ride a motorbike like this anymore. the government argues that motorbikes cause too many accidents but many depend on them for their livelihoods plenty of small commercial companies have popped up in recent years that's on top of thousands of drivers who operate on their own for all of them the ban is a huge blow. it. before you. will do. so. with thoughts. on the highway everybody is going to.

board. because you have know all about things to do i mean. by profession. as the public transport not broken lagos is far from sufficient many customers depend on us to get around. even stop making white noise. if you don't buy. it that way you take off if you provide any means of transportation for people but the lagos state government is adamant. people to get into this must be good to be at least broke when the government just said you know this is not we can all say because we do not want to touch anything right right right now and that's this

bloody cmos going t.v. and he suggests the band might also free up young drivers to take up other professions young people who are no longer ready to land troops everybody. nowadays you go up paint as you go out viewed as you go up to last ultrasounds are very scarce now that it was not easy to join the flow kind of people. it's not the 1st time that lagos has imposed a ban on motorbikes so far it never really worked the commissioner sad government will introduce more bosses and better roads this time but it's traffic in lagos keeps getting busier it's hard to see how people here will manage the okada. now this we dish climate out of his gratitude at a press conference today to highlight the work of young african activists in the fight against climate change it's in response to last week's backlash after an

african activist was in range from a photo with 2 in bed and at the white piers now in case you missed the story a week ago the group of young climate activists were in switzerland for the world economic forum after a press conference they posed for a picture together now this is the picture a photographer from the associated press took a look and they and this next fake chat is the picture that was published in the end now as you see the only black person who was in the frame was cut out not that person was venice and climate activists from uganda that when word got out that she'd been cropped out of the picture many people were on fend off and it on twitter one used to say it's like the necessity that you. indeed raise her as vanessa when you cropped out of the photo you raised a continent africa and it hurts and the other one treated this part of the nyssa is symbolic of how the media has been consistently cropping out youth off color from

the narrative when they cover the climate action movement so my guest today is none other than the ugandan comes activist finessing that cutting herself this morning minister took part in a press conference with brigitte following that cropping that picture cropping saga it focused on climate change in africa welcome to news africa vanessa we'll talk about the press conference in a moment but 1st i want to ask you when you say it that you were cropped out of that picture you said that a continent had been the rays but i want to know how you personally felt when you saw that picture and that you've been cropped out of this. when i saw that creature and i felt so frustrated and this is because i had stressed out the point during the press conference to the media that it is important for them to report stories from different parts of the world i really

showed disappointed when i phoned art i had been cropped out of the photo. wides weren't used but the action made a statement to me i went ahead and read the article actually and i was not introduced as one of the activists who had the press conference none of my quotes from the press conference was included in the article it's really made me feel so sad. for this and no one looking at your twitter feed can really get a sense of that some of the statements that you've put out in response to it but you took part in a quite a press conference today alongside you'll hear that would be great to. tell me what was the objective all press conference i understand it was in response to this picture copy. the objective of the press conference was mainly to puts the climate crisis in africa for everyone to see this press conference gave an opportunity to different activists from africa to air

out their stories and to of the sufferings of the al gore knew that different people face as a result of the climate crisis from different parts of the continent. even if so when did you or activism journey begin and tell me what it is that moved you to get up and do something about climate change in africa. well in may 2018 after school i wanted to do something that could close change in the lives of the people of my country i grew up seeing my dad as our tyrian get involved in various activities that provided solutions to people who are facing challenges i was moved to do the same thing but i was not specific of the kind of activism that i would do in the beginning i carried out to such to find out the major problems that are faced by the people in my country and i found quite

a number of them like unemployment corruption poverty i'm. but ours really struck by climate change i decided to read more about it to understand its causes and the available this is what drove my activism. and business what is your message to the world after this incident the picture. i want to know the word that every voice does and every person mark does it is responsible for all of us to respect and listen to the voices of people regardless of where they come from because every voice has a story to and every story has a solution to give and every solution has a life to change so it is important for the world and everyone else to give opportunities to different people regardless of where they come from to give them platforms regardless of where they come from and to on please try their voices

because there are many activists out there who are trying as much as possible to be listened to to be had but their own and being had or listened to by anyone so it is important for all of us to respect them and give them a chance to air out their challenges and the solutions that they have to offer that spend this and that they in uganda thank you. while africa is bearing the brunt of climate change many solutions are being produced on the continent particularly in agriculture which is one of the main contributors of greenhouse gases researches in kenya say they found a way for cattle farm is to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve their . treating a growing population means farmers are seeking more space for their herds to graze in kenya cattle farms are increasingly encroaching on forests. that's bad for the

climate as forests soak up and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere so when you cut down forests. to take it into crop learn. for grassland livestock then you are seeing a lot of carbon into the atmosphere to claim it's tense but this humble plant could be the solution napier grass which grows wild across many east african countries researchers say cows fed on a pure grass produce less meat 13 a powerful greenhouse gas the organically fertilize grass produces less carbon emissions than other crops it's also richer in nutrients and carries fewer ticks some of the. disappeared because sometimes they eat things that are not to be digested but a lot of calls when it's been sold very definite. and

healthy cows produce up to 50 percent more milk that's welcome news for kenya's 2000000 small scale dairy farmers. happier farmers and healthier cows are just some of the fortunate side effects in the fight against climate change. and that is it for now from africa you can catch all our stories on our website and facebook page now as a motorbike ban comes into effect this weekend in lagos we need you with some more images of this load of trials used in so many ways ways on the continent.
