one there 1st remember coach clinton. going. to t.w. . and on demand. language courses. or you know. w.t.f. . it's

good to have your company acid attacks on the rise in uganda and campaign groups say most of the cases go and reported in 2018 in the they recorded 10 times as many attacks than were reported to police they say victims via reprisals now campaign is all demanding tough unrolls they also want the government to cover the costs of surgery for victims and provide compensation many victims suffer for years after

their attacks in a moment i'll be talking to an acid attack survivor who's featured in our next report. 12 years ago daniel's life was changed forever someone he once considered a friend attacked him without warning. that this is acid because i have never heard about people being poured on acid. so i'm not mormon go forward to it was too much my eyes started. finding this kinda stuff in period ending mysteriously. ever since that day daniel has struggled with confidence and lost trust in other people he's just one among many stories of life's devastated by acid attacks. jennifer to see was assaulted by a coworker who was jealous of her success she lost her sight in one eye and

remembers that people witnessing the attack were filming rather than helping her. she had to rebuild her life from scratch. pad more and more every day would tell me what a horror. movie to see with people seem to do. is here you look at me you are because. you're helping and you walk in. support groups say most s. attacks and uganda go unreported meaning perpetrators are rarely punished now some survivors are trying to change that lynette was walking to class when she heard footsteps behind her and then burning agony her ex-boyfriend had attacked her after she rejected the marriage proposal he was never arrested now she complains for stricter sentencing to crack down on these attacks plus police we want we want to

include in the. poissy for us but they treat us. these people who may build out our new also we need their scent is the big. if someone as poor as been bullied has been proven they were to. they from prison thanks to her efforts things are changing in this compound a courtroom one victim watched on as the man accused of attacking her with acid face trial proof that the wheels of justice are turning a bite slowly. my guess today is that if he could only from end acid violence uganda who we just saw in that report welcome to the devon years africa linearity tell us what happened to you. get really on board for me i was a student at marker a university i had a boyfriend who wanted us to get married and from name

a few of his marriage proposal because my progress was more books without them getting myrick so when i requested him to give me something and 1st focus on my books is that you suspected that maybe i had some what someone else that's it was you know it was an exquisite rejecting his marriage proposal then later on he front me up 'd there in the university one. the next day that was eleventh's don't worry . me i thought it was your route i played a role they said that hearing that but. we should take her on a will break that saying i've come to see if so what i've seen how my body was but then later had someone saying that that's when i got to know that's what. why didn't your attacker face justice. thank you no new guy and our 1st one there is no law on us that really has and made a time when we appointed that clears that police officers come to report all the

hospital i remember they don't take all the talk that well we're going to see what was happening and i was intensive care so they told my prince instead of you're going to court just sitting down with this suspect and you are you negotiate around how much you want this person to play you something that really i will if you know this person has done harm for her comfort something harmful to you so i was not willing for or so i thought maybe could have made it as from a prince not we had looked like to get a single coin from the suspect this is going to court so the police officer that in the can when they really needed neck to win if you try to go into court you're not suggesting because there was no 1000000 you gun that with the violence we had on retaining wall and then not point i'll take not talking about anything that. is so limited what do you want the government to do what are you campaigning for brits now you're campaigning for a specific asks do i hope. 1st of all it keeps you come here to you can if you come

to uganda actually this is sort of like any other commodity on the streets of comfort and everywhere it is it is as cheap as a couple of big trust on one couple one liter of it costs around 3 something but one couple and it one's a leg so we need a specific euro well this is low we'll talk about ask to vote is we need does that do as those people were doing in absolute top places said there must be a problem i've made a government bet and you go no we have so i saw all these doing so in case you want to buy you should be asked what may be practiced and actually not i d y but you can present your idea you told this person i'm certain so i'm working to make the net about interest i need absolute but all that is required makes i'm not see i did not ask where so people get access they were a one stop us it is really up to us. so what we need is

a special skill at risk that will try and trick us and misuse of acid which you also want to take strict laws all right and that's to explain all of that to the big trader ok and it limits he could only thank you. for months now swarms of does it have been ravaging the horn of africa and while governments have begun aerial spraying to prevent a new generation of breeding the u.n. is warning of a looming food crisis it saves the region needs $76000000.00 u.s. dollars to fight the plague but at the moment they barely have a 3rd of that and we visited some kenya farm is to find out how they have been affected by the interest. they were only there for one day in mid january bernard my congress was invaded by desert locusts that ate everything

from grains to beings and even the entire field of watermelons but that's not all. like i do know. normally by this time they're ready for harvest. you. have destroyed them all. the flowers even the leaves. of the will to seed. the locusts eat everything in their way in a day and one square kilometer swarm of locusts can eat as much food as 35000 people. at this time of year my congress grand reason usually filled to the brim but now they're practically empty. memory you get a good local song come on come on it's what i've harvested is very little i expected to get son of green grams 15 sacks of maize he didn't and i didn't get any beans it's all of that they've all been destroyed.

his neighbor is equally devastated and young without the harvest he doesn't know what to do. there's nothing left to harvest there's nothing else i don't know how to do it's just this farm that's where i get through it we're afraid my family and friends everyone because that's right dirty i'm a farmer limited. this is the worst look at infestation that kenya has seen in 70 years farmers in this region have lost all of their crops some of them have started planting again but they don't know what they will do if the locusts return. to step up the fight against the locusts kenya has started training its voluntary national youth service while aerial spraying of pesticides is already being used to fight the i don't know because. these youths are being trained as ground spread sense younger locusts which caused flight yet. the government believes it still might be able to stop the spread of the station but this may be its last chance if there is

not in terms of their control in kenya then we have even breeding grounds in the country and we may become sources of frustrations in the future. for farmers like bernard mcconkey the government effort has come too late he doesn't know how to make up for his loss crops. only hopes that his next harvest will survive more support. now with business hopes resting on international support dominic the man overseeing the un's relief efforts tells steve that time is off the essence. what needs to happen next is that we have a very short window of opportunity we are in between 2 planting season we need to con to control the locust population now before the planting season starts in march april this is the main planting season we have a very fruitful. european union the european commission as we speak 1st of all

financial commitment is critical we have an appeal out for $76000000.00 so far we have received about $30000000.00 if we consider $10000000.00 euro that is being announced today by the european commission. now to some news from the sporting bulled there has been yet more successful south africa's all conquering springboks he wins a rugby world cup win is one name sports team off again at the prestigious laureus world sports awards kept in seattle the sea was on hand to accept the award along with many of these teammates the glorious awards have become known as the sporting aust is what an honor for the springboks. and overseas. at that same believe it's a day full did everything is africa you can catch all our stories on our website and facebook page me if you now with a nice from mind on why the springboks are being faces around the world see you
