reasons why he dismissed the governor or else hell is on its way i will mobilize. mr bowen has since deleted his tweets but he did say that he stood by his statement adding that the central bank independence was not negotiable so talk more on this we've invited doug says it will be able to muscle this one on to the program he served as a finance minister of zambia between 20082011 he is a member of the opposition united party for national development a welcome to news africa doc sept so south africa is fine as minister is insinuating that this is an issue of central bank independence do you know what he's talking about is the independence of zambia central bank and the threats yes. by the way also served as a deputy governor of the central bank. so i understand exactly what you don't know about yes i think it's correct to feel like. their central bank independence is

being threatened because of 4 because of the money about which iran has been fired. and that we all feel it will doing a good job for it we don't think brownish and. us 3 not shows that there is no dependence but you also believe that some of the states and it's not the governor may have been issue in the last few days a question they're going to put their name to go down on boring. that major annoys the government but even diminish the funds has been saying this i'm single been straight in the same things that there is neutral government to me through morally because not getting rid of control that the leader of your party mr hadley in the heat in a will challenge president a guy who wrote in a column that the sacking of the central bank governor he called it

a now this sad development for zambia what is happening in zambia. it is an honest i don't mistrust everyone knows that i'm just going through severe economic problems. not just because of the corporate 19 like everyone else but because of the extraordinary amount of states indebtedness not shunned. and at this time one would have expected not to talk with this if you're going to be problems good experience. would have been required like that don't expect the governor to steer around this problem and this is a man that was even during the week. dazed twins i'm beer and man i live in countries where everything digital is part of the team that's good so i'm going to let it be less so is an experience month to deal with

issues like ok rushing to dig in to take him out it's time for us to decide to fund ok i mean this is this is the behavior off i have a president who who who who who knows he can rule with impunity almost to say and just to get support that we know that human rights groups have said that democratic freedoms have have been eroded in zambia and the president at that number will and is this a classic case off power has corrupted the men absolutely just to give you a specific example we don't we're preparing for actions when next year. and much obliged process. in compliance with the constitution says that that is a political parties themselves going to elections must go through that. must go through. a little elections but when you're up articles for these conventions for interparty elections we get arrested. ok but when the ruling party

is doing the same thing they're allowed so how do you at least start to elect distinct baksheesh doing into the party elections in conformity to a different tradition that says if you're not going to another nation and this is a democratic process just within your own budget but to try and do that should give a terrorist this is just an example of the democratic state space that is shrinking every dish you know country. right that is doc says to mail us all the time he's talking to as the countryside in zambia thank you so much for the time you've given us. now in the next few hours the world health organization is set to decay africa polio free the milestone comes 4 years after nigeria recorded the last cases on the continent now polio is a viral disease that young children and can cause lifelong pads in

a matter of. there's no cure but there is a simple vaccine that's effective so long as enough children get it but that can be a challenge in communities where people are skeptical like. in northern nigeria. this simple can prevent a child contracting. some car is a nurse or job keeping children from the enormous progress has been made in recent years she says. that nigeria as it is doesn't do and for years fisher has not true cool dude and new cases. but hurdles remain to keep it that way. here in the northern part of nigeria there are so many conflict zones which are very difficult

to access for health care and the other challenges that many people here don't want to get vaccines. we are in the predominantly muslim north of nigeria it is widely believed the poor is a way to control family planning. the vaccine is just a way to harm people when they will not be healthy because of the vaccine. we believe it's connected to family planning to think there are other problems that are worse diseases like malaria. wants to fight these misconceptions he explains to these men he contracted polio when he was 3 in order to talk to the women of this community he needs to convince the men 1st it is a patriarchal society with its own rules others are supporting him and raising awareness

going door to door one house at a time. when i could tell you. why the world health organization puts nigeria among the countries that have a ready case of polio. but if we follow our hands think it's gone. but there is a relapse. these women have seen health care before but they did not take them seriously the marquess we used to run away close our doors we were prepared to chase them away. the mother of 10 has vaccinated 4 children against polio since she met we want. to before we believed the polio vaccine destroys a woman's uterus. a father of 3 is one of thousands community mobilizes spread across northern nigeria back in his house after campaigning he tells me you have been able to because if you discrimination there

are so many places you cannot a says there are so many times you can not because of disability. he wants to continue to educate parents so that no more children will have to grow up like him that's a mission that we want and he says not even when nigeria is officially declared poorly or free 'd. and i am now joined by dr pascal off the world health organizations polio eradication program and africa welcome to you dr. graduations firstly it can't be overstated how important this milestone is you've been working on the efforts to eradicate polio in africa what did it take to get. so what it took to get here was a lot of leadership all the talk from the heads of state to the community is letting behind this cause as well as corroboration with the partners and

involving all communities community leaders and if i mean this with a lot of investment for us to reach it has taken as more than 24 years and they're going to reconsider his home state wanted us a committed themselves that we should eradicate polio from the african region and has since the war they were simply declare that we should get for you again congratulations to you but i want it done so what will it take to keep africa polio free. so what do you take is going to need leadership and the commitment by everyone or so we need to strengthen surveillance because as you know they steal what part of our us security in pakistan and afghanistan and if we're not very vigilant that virus can come back into africa and even have very big

outbreaks so we need to how very good surveillance so that we can actually disease as quickly as possible if you security and as well as improve immunization so that we have their children protected if you give us comes back we also have to ensure that you know we're protected by a vaccination so that we don't have any form of polio coming back or being made in the african region all right that's that's why i doubt the w.h.s. polio eradication program in africa now that their mission is accomplished i wonder if you're now going to be retiring thank you so much doctor for joining us here on these happy trees africa. thank you very much appreciate it thank you. and that is it for now you can find more awful stories on our website www dot com for what slash africa we're also on facebook and on twitter to see an extract of ice.

welcome to arts and culture for decades we've used words like manly even macho to describe the kind of rugged masculinity that boys and men are often expected to aspire to but in the age of need to the notion of toxic masculinity challenges pervasive behaviors like power posturing bullying and sexual harassment british writer j.j. bola says masculinity can be a many faceted experience his book mask off is just out in germany and it calls to redefine masculinity for everyone's benefit you're. in a man's world you don't show weakness.
