marriage proposal because my progress was more books then getting married so i know because it's him to give me something and 1st focus on my books is that you suspected that maybe i had someone someone else that's it whether it was an exquisite rejecting his marriage proposal then later on if want 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 her almost at the hearing that but. we should take her on a will break that saying i can see if so what i've seen how my body was but then later i heard someone saying that if that's when they want to know that's what's. in it see why didn't your attacker face justice. thank you no new guy and our 1st one there is no law on us that when there's an bed at 10 am when we have pointed out. that what you saw me says to put all the hospital i

remember they don't take all their talk clothes that well let's see what was happening and i was intensive care so they taught my prince instead of you're going to court just sitting down with this suspect and you are you know what she ate from 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 i was not willing for. it so i thought maybe could have made it as from a prince not we're not going to get a single coin from the suspect this is going to court so the police officer that being the camera really needed neck to let me if you try to go into court you're not suggesting because there's no 1000000 uganda or that's the violence we have on retaining wall and 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 right now you're campaigning for a specific acid lope. 1st of all it keeps you come here to you come if you come to

your gander see this is sort of like any other commodity on the streets of comfort and everywhere it is it is as cheap as a couple be trussed up one cup of one liter of it costs around 3 something but one cup of acid 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 this is that good as those people were bidding in absolute place and said there must be a compromise made a government bet and you go we have so i saw all these doing so in case you want to buy a seat you should be asked what may be practiced what national i.d. what you can visit your eye do you tell this person i'm certain so i'm working you make me know that buttery i need acid but all that is required makes i'm not see i did not ask where so people just access they were a one stop us that is really. so what we need is

a special people at risk that will try and trick us and misuse of acid which you also want to take strict laws all right time and that's to explain all the big trade that oakland is limits he could only thank you. for months now swarms off kids 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 say's 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 kenyan farm is to find out how they have been affected by the interests. they were only there for one day a mid january but of 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. that. like i do know. normally by this time they're ready for harvest. but the locusts have destroyed them all. the flowers even the leaves. of the will to say did. the locusts eat everything in their way in a day and one square kilometer swarm of locusts could eat as much food as 35000 people. at this time of year my congress granted reason usually filled to the brim but now they're practically empty. memory now you get to go become the symbol come on it's what i've harvested is very little i expected to get socks of green grams 15 sacks of maize 15 and i didn't get any beans at all of that at 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 as farm that's where i get through it where i feed my family and friends everyone because that's what i do i'm a farmer. this is the worst look at infestation that kenya has seen in 70 years farmers in this region have lost nearly 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 and they have started training it's voluntary national youth service great well aerial spraying of pesticides is already being used to fight the i don't know just these are being trained as ground spray is against younger locusts which card fly yet. the government believes it still might be able to stop the spread of them from station but this may be its

last chance if they want to know what is your news not in terms of their quantity in kenya then we have even breeding grounds in the country and we become sources off in frustration see the future. for farmers like bernard my kind of government effort has come too late he doesn't know how he will make up for his lost crops. only hopes that his next harvest will survive from a few more support. now with his hopes resting on international support dominic burgeon the man overseeing the un's relief efforts tells steve wu 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 go on 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 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 years from the sporting world there has been yet more success for south africa's all conquering springboks the winds of rugby world cup win is when name sports team at the prestigious laureus world sports awards captain sam police say was on hand to accept the award along with many of his teammates the glorious awards have become known as the sporting aust is what an honor for the springboks. and obviously. that same believe it's a day for everything is africa you can catch all our stories on our website and facebook page we leave you now with a nice from mind of why the springboks are being faces around the world next time.
