diving is africa what is your current situation and how is it taking its toll well according to jewish and here is. it's in the streets are empty shops are closed restaurants are closed it's hard to get supplies the few stores that are still open. have anything in them so truly terrifying thomas is getting actual twitter feeds either you've expressed some real frustration they look at some of the stuff that you've tweeted alz what are you spending your days doing are you afraid what is and just how do you feel about what's going on right now or everyone is too afraid to go out. we don't know who you could meet every time you go out you risk. contact with an infected person so we basically spend all day said maybe watching a few movies social media talking to your family. do

you know why your government has not evacuated you and others were. thinking mind the last week the president said he has believed cheney is a full control of the situation and there's no need to evacuate well our prime minister you've got an ambassador to china said we are safer here because if we don't uganda we pose a great risk to their country because they are in no capacity to contain the virus think if one of us is effected and and spreads it in the country can you understand that argument is if it doesn't do you at least appreciate that or does that make no no sense at all so you know it doesn't make any sense at all. other countries that have been about getting their citizens have been following the

protocols straight sure that effected people don't mix with the population by current inning the citizens for about 14 days which is the estimated incubation period of the. core another us so it should be a ice when you do that you get isolators late fix it from those who are fine right thomas what do you want your governments to do here. the only way they could intervene for us is by evacuating all 71 uganda stranded the 100 now. as the situation will only get worse from here right very quickly some as you hinted at this in one of your tweets what risks are you taking in talking to the media well ours is one not looking at what interviews and the things they tweet so i risk being brought be expelled

at its worst deportation but this weekend i look down i can't be deported so all right that's thomas kinds you know in one province in china thank you so what does the ugandan government have to say about why they've so far refused to in left their nationals in china to safety reported us mogambo has more from kampala. behind me is the office of the prime minister which is actually mixed to the ugandan parliament where lawmakers of hide the very emotional debate about the issue of evacuating ugandans from china due to the corona virus outbreak the lawmakers of test the government to explain and evacuees ugandan's immediately in her response a minister assured lawmakers that a government is equally concerned but it is not seated she says that evacuating ugandans is an option that the government is looking at but she called me to a cell phone but she sees that china should as well be given

a chance to help ugandans without in this having to bring the bucket to him now not all parents under lottie's are amazed that this irrelative by spoke to told me that bringing back her brother should be looked at as a priority to before the government can consider anything goes but until the government makes a final decision the fate of the ugandans in china remains in balance ok now moving on tonics story swarms of billions of ravaging crops in east africa and the u.n. is warning bear is risk off catastrophe officials say immediate action is needed before more rainfall in the weeks ahead brings fresh vegetation to feed new generations off the pests efforts to contain the pest in windy in central kenya. experts say this is just a short window to prevent the worst. these locusts are still on the ground they're feeding and grouping together but it's only a matter of time to fall they're able to fly. it's time for the international

community to understand. that with no otherwise we would. there would be a level of acute food insecurity there would be 1000000 more people who require food assistance and it would take years to comport the situation once a swarm can fly it becomes difficult to control the insects desert locusts can cover distances of up to 200 kilometers a day the insects are constantly multiplying each female locusts can lay about $100.00 x. after 2 weeks millions of new help us to much and the cycle goes on and on and on and so just think of a swarm that covers manhattan from the south to the north and this is just a medium sized swarm it's not really

a big swarm for desert locusts that swarm in one day and eat the same amount of food as the entire population of kenya. unusual rainfalls at this time of the year the breeding conditions extremely favorable for the locusts and extremely on federal for farm us. we have really depend on this farming season we have to be even if the one beginning in april is short and not as productive we depend a lot on this one we worry that the locusts will destroy our harvest and we end up going hungry the rest of the year waiting for tobar when we have the next cropping season after devastating large areas in somalia ethiopia and kenya the swarms have now reached uganda and us frightening south sudan and tanzania. now a boxing champion in the democratic republic of congo has set up what he scored the friendship club to help former child soldiers and young people but himself
