from the number 2. insolated behavior joining me now is that you've got the syrian president and 74 blocking him on twitter. thanks a lot for your time now why exactly do you have a problem with being blocked by was 70 on twitter. oh thank you so much for all of 'd this talk show made by some being in fleet don't like the president of course he blocked me on twitter. for just this because i don't know reasons why i hit old you know government found you know on the commander in chief well source my opinion it's 100 years using. it for him to make official and patients so i read the court see justice because i

need to give me if they're hearing and i'm always wondering what. you know that really that the president. maybe we ought to consider. ok now some may argue why make a big deal out of it as you were just blocked on twitter what's the big deal. yes actually done that it was based in the us you know that we drove in the if it connection with our leaders. home so aero social media has made it you know global village because we can easily iraqi the leaders so the easiest way for me to say this information from my latest was a social media and that's basically twitter so when the president blocks me and it means that he's denying the. city formation in general and frankly to my for the most each and israel also. we. have

to look it just so the ugandan government is arguing that you can still access official information online. the fact that you've been blocked doesn't really matter what you say to that i want to say that there is that u.s. court and with real time information because if you look at other platforms like facebook the president does not post instantly updates us on twitter so i can not get is the information for much it brings also that i can tell him that i was this from. uganda enjoying the same platform so as they hear all you know about on the or that he has to teach us equally as ugandans because we tell him that you know where he is about you know who died and has more than less it was. my

rights then it's violating my constitutional rights and that just won't have to be a court and i just ok fast sharing has happened what exactly do you hope to achieve what your lawsuit. i've basically looked at about 45 because my justice has been delayed. that justice is late at night and the 1st hearing was supposed to just get to last year. and the judge you know they got him for the hearing and now i was lucky that he was able to come and. listen to my peers but of course i wanted to 1st of all get to declare issue from court. telling the entire country that's the. prison blocking because they also want that gives. to the president of the

additionally the court times to also hold on an injunction to present so that doesn't leave future ok and also i wonder. because in the future media we have to know that. there's a whole table. to make our leaders accountable. to hillary ugandan must a student at harvard university. german president frank. last 3 days on a state visit in kenya that he visited there kakuma refugee complicated in kenya hot dry northwest getting enough to eat to their house always been tough and the influx of refugees has made it even more difficult. arrival in kakuma kenya's 2nd biggest refugees head home and it was the last stop in kenya for german president franklin before heading to sudan the arid region in the far north of

kenya hosts over 190000 refugees mainly from south sudan but also from somalia ethiopia and brandy each time i appraise kenyans and the local to kind of people for their work posting refugees we are joined by. does the money kenya is handling the situation deserve respect funding and. make because specially when you consider that the local people here in northern kenya are themselves struggling to make ends meet finding in the wake of the long undo the peleliu and years and that's no longer given what they've suffered long periods of drought over the past years governments which has reduced their crops need to be good to get people off the waters of the scarcity of food is a major challenge shared by both a kind of communities and the refugees. within the camp pilot projects like a school garden i suppose to help in the. idea is to teach students about farming

in the harsh climate as well as about the nutritional values of different crops. to pupils of the selected schools train when you bring the. kids so we get double speak you can use at the school level the sort of. household. the school also has an entry over from that school lunch program. for many of the $1000.00 plus students here that's their main meal of the day. refugees at kakuma say the 8 simply isn't enough. rita from south sudan receives 11000 kenyan shillings or 100 euros a month for herself and her 8 children. they get 11200. so when you go for sure people be sure you find a circle for me when i'm. looking point 850.

8 evidence something. that's so raven i don't know where we are not the end of the day when all this is i think. you when you're being at small things we have no business of my own. business to this kind of my own. to make matters worse food sold at the markets here is more expensive than the national average because it's so scarce the kenyan government u.n.h.c.r. and the world food program are training various projects to help the refugees to earn an income and become less reliant on age so far the success is limited. it is clear that this region is still struggling to provide basic food security and that both germany and the international community still have a role to play here. the west african country of togo is generally a conservative and as one of the know was wrong in the world when it comes to gender equality and women's rights but if female pains are is breaking down the barriers well their way of life artwork in
