. we spoke to correspondent rozen samana nost how people are reacting to the 2nd fire in a week the captain isn't talking of panic. witnesses that told us that when they were driving this whole cars that were reversing near the highway near the border and because they were scared they were panicking because the memories of that were an explosion came back to their minds and people told us that they are through with the government and the leaders and they think that they are unable to manage the country and this and that is right here. they think that they could protect their citizens and they couldn't preserve the security of the competent and on social media for young of the youth in the break here. a prominent opposition leader has accused authorities of threatening to kill her if she refused to leave the country maria kolesnikov who is behind bars has filed

last month's election which saw president alexander lukashenko reelected in a landslide for a 6th term. opposition leaders and their international allies and says the vote was likely richt. in a recent interview. to offer an olive branch to demonstrators. because it's. inclined to conduct an early presidential election i'm not ruling this out. but the gesture was likely just for show lucas shrinker recently urged the prosecutors to expand their crackdown on the fledgling opposition. the world wildlife fund says the average size of wildlife populations has tumbled by 2 thirds since 1970 the group's living planet report reveals the decline is because of the clearing of forests for food production and the destruction is rapidly accelerating the conservation group ones that continued loss of natural habitat increases the

risk of more endemic as humans expand their presence closer to wild animals for more let's bring in fran price in new jersey she's the global forest practice lead a w w f international from what are the main findings of the report in use on this up for us absolutely well sadly our planet is in real trouble as used at the average size of the animal populations that we and our partners and tracking over decades has declined by 68 percent in less than 50 years that's about my lifetime which in evolutionary terms is the blink of an eye. and this is due to habitat loss and the tradition including deforestation which is driven by how we produce fruit that's the that's the chief

driver here and it's the same environmental destruction that's contributing to the emergence of super not a disease it's like hope at 19 when we have to forestation we increase the likelihood of wildlife human livestock interactions which can have a spillover effect of these diseases and cause great destruction as we've seen. political factors that have contributed to this development well there are certain countries that not have not gotten a handle on deforestation or forest degradation and we really need countries to step up and help us to halt the forestation working with community use working with corporations working with civil society to do what we can to stop using.

natural forests and savanna as for agricultural production and he used a greater plans to make our production more efficient and to adopt more sustainable lifestyles and diets and to stop to replace so used to saying there is a way to reverse this and save the wildlife. there is and we actually did some research on around us around bending the current and what it's going to take and it really is says elements it's it's a safeguarding our forests halting deforestation looking at the way we. seem to do it. and looking at our land use but also looking at food waste about a 3rd of the food that we produce actually goes i meet and then also the transitions in more sustainable and healthy lifestyles with with more plant based. diet.

and the like. ok thank you for that from prize the global forest practice lead at w w f international thank you for bringing us up to speed. thank you. furnished actress stana rig has died aged 82 she gained fame in the spy series the avengers in the 1960 s. and the recent and other recent game of thrones rig also starred in the one $969.00 james bond thriller a majesty's secret service as tracy diva cento the only woman to marry agent double 07 she won emmy tony and bafta awards joined her lengthy career on both sides of the atlantic. to the extreme sport of big wave surfing now where a brazilian woman has claimed a new guinness world record and happened off the coast of portugal so miacca beta

beethoven it's for him. and beethoven is for. beethoven is for everyone. i told them 2020. 5th anniversary here on. this is did i mean yes africa coming up on the program fears of a looming ecological disaster in east africa water levels are rising in kenya's great britain vanny now there are fears too small and lakes could merge drinking hundreds of wildlife species. that getting into a safe space every day for people commit suicide in kenya i'll be talking to the senate working on

a bill she hopes will save lives in the country. and i'm christine want to welcome to news africa it's good to have your company rising water levels in the lakes along kenya's great rift valley have forced thousands of people from their homes now one of the lakes filled with unhealthy salty and alkaline water is swimming so much it threatens to contaminate a freshwater lake nearby lake by ringle and lake bell gloria used to be 20 kilometers apart but now they're so close they could merge posing a further risk to wildlife or residence for local businesses and farming community use the rising water levels have been devastating once a thriving holiday destination this hotel is now submerged underwater.

memories over to left for her. whose business has been all but destroyed by the end of the this is all gone so. we don't have meant so much but i have to say it is painful to see the properties going. it's not just the building suffering from the rising water levels. thousands of people have been displaced from as a being forced off their land and losing their livelihoods. or not i'm going to go away when the rain started we did not expect the board to rise this much and get to our phones i've lost my grass farm which was my main source of income and i've lost my homestead too i now have to start all over again at new grounds for now i live with my son close by but even that we think the water will get to us conservationists a heavy rains have caused the lakes in the area to swell but that also filling up

with soil washing into the water from the nearby hills where deforestation has caused a rotation like ring go provides drinking water and irrigates land for tens of thousands of people it's expanded by 60 percent in the last 7 years and now it could be contaminated by the alkaline waters of nearby lake but gloria it's a particular threat for the wide variety of wildlife with birds fish and crocodiles living here. but local charity workers believe they could have an ounce or we do have a solution because to the north of us there is a low point in the geographic structure which could easily. be either cannot come through and release some of this excess water which would in fact be a very good thing for the people down. downstream as it were because they have no

water. it's not clear if there's the time money or will to make that work in the meantime the water continues to rise. its will suicide prevention day today and we're putting a spotlight on can you know where on average 4 people take their lives every day now as is the case in many countries a large number of mental health problems remain and diagnosed and consequently and managed in kenya i'll be talking to my guest about if it's being undertaken by the government in this regard but 1st a suicide survivor in kenya now on who has set up a studio and a safe space for young people going through a mental illness. nearly 3 years ago jason brooke not appear to be holding the perfect life but in reality he was battling some in a dim ones i fell into a pretty serious addiction alcohol addiction post-traumatic stress disorder so the

depression the anxiety that followed from that was real. and i felt like you know my ideal life and the life that i was living were 2 completely still different different things. i knew who wanted to be i knew the life that i wanted to date but i felt that i had no way of getting done. and the feeling that almost led him to do the unthinkable was so i attempted to take my own life there was a feeling of hopelessness of feeling alone if i did reach out to anybody that would be a burden. so i really saw no way out. lucky me jason changed his mind in the end but has made it his life mission to help others he has created his very own organization in kenya that not only supports artists and creatives buckling mental health users but also provides this is what he spends for them.

when you find your way out of a burning building. it's human nature to want to help other people out of the building as well so that's why i set up it's place to fight for as a way to show other people. it's not hopeless. doubly or choice to mit's more than $800000.00 people die from sioux city every year in kenya it's roughly 4 people taking their legs each day. dr corinne deo dean who's a clinical psychologist and a psychotherapist says there can be more factors behind sue said than traditional depression so these issues of genetics issues that are cultural fact that we've got. so should the fact that you've got other risk social situations. particularly now independent me because you know what the thing to me does is it's really been very detrimental to mental.

steel mental health remains a sensitive issue enough we can society people don't come forward families will not come until it is taboo to talk about it it is something that's held within our religious spaces within our cultural spaces and now also within the law and the policy. it's a sentiment jason she has when having lived in kenya for 2 decades. there's nothing to be ashamed of nothing to feel guilty over it's normal and the more we put out through the movie normalize the narrative of mental illness. and talk more about mental health. the sooner that stigma will break down. something jason and many others hope will help save lives not only the. amount joined by sylvia gushy is a senator in kenya overseeing

a proposed bill on mental health welcome to every news africa state has a tell us about what you are doing to tackle the mental health challenge in kenya. thank you so much and thank you for having me is really really i want to end in a pleasure to be able to share with the world what kenya is doing and what we are doing championing the mental health campaign here in kenya and mental health reforms we are walking on a bill as vitamin rich islands' and the mental health amendment bill that is supposed to see and all the whole into the mental health. space here in kenya right what does the bill do in terms of actual action what is it what will it translate to if it is pasta. first is aligning all mental health interventions into the primary health care that is the biggest intervention possible because the old bill and vision a stagnant only kind is in of tackling mental health which really creases the stigma so you can find only

a mental health institution standing around where people don't even have fear going to seek medical help there so what we want in the 1st instance is to integrate mental in all all levels of all hospitals all prairie health care so that we can have practitioners are in you know level one level 2 or 3 and how they're fire a system not actually working for mental health the way it works for 4 primary health care it also envisions as attrition where access access to health care for mental health is possible so integrated into it into insurance systems so that you know you can actually get treatment treatment for mental health especially the severe ones is very expensive and access to drugs is almost impossible one of the canyons so the 1000000000 visions where you know it's part of all insurance schemes especially the universal health care system that the government case and is currently ripping out. so it is a you've said before that that mental health issues have never been given a priority in the country and partly due to the lack of legislation do you think

that things are going to change going forward now. yes i'm happy that a lot of vocus in what i was shouting about mental health has been you know go to that you know the president to the point where the you know e he does it at a task force on mental health where around the country now receiving you know comments and details from kenyans and you know unfortunately because of course we're seeing escalated cases going up now hit show from where i sit and the ministry of health actually has you know they have a committee that is dealing specifically looking into the issue is the mental health and how to help kenyans especially now with the corbett and all the other stresses that are related to it yes it is that's a date the emphasis is on suicide and as i understand it attempting suicide is considered a crime in kenya. you could be jailed for up to 2 years or find do you think that

can or needs to be reviewed. absolutely i fact in the mental health amendment bill we try to do it but we're told that is not the place to do it and we're happy that the task force that was doing the mental health report actually gave a very strong recommendation that that section needs to be repealed and removed because the criminalizing suicide is not to tackling the problem if anything now you have you have been more cases because you know the you're going to prison pushes you know pushes the victims not to actually do it so we have agreed this is a society that is one of the key things that must be done in the short term in the shortest time possible is to repeal that section remove it altogether such that exists in such cases what they do is seek help as opposed to they have been taken to jail ok that senator sylvia joining us from nairobi thank you say this and all the best to you on that bill thank you so much. before we end the show a tribute to one of south africa's anti-apartheid icon george bizos who died on

and european companies complain about bullying from beijing this if issues are refusing to let many of their executives and staff back into china for work after being expelled from the pandemic broke out. the welcome to the show i'm stephen beers in berlin it's good to have you with us citi group has named jane frazier as its next chief executive making her the 1st woman to lead a top wall street bank frazier takes the reins of the 4th biggest u.s. bank by assets joining a group of wall street c.e.o.'s that has been exclusively male and white she was head of global consumer banking at citi since not too rather 2019 and was long considered a top candidate for the top job will start as c.e.o. in february but join city groups board of directors immediately. and let's go to court our financial correspondent in new york for more on this. yes so frazier is the 1st but how long will she be the exception can we expect any

other women to assume a top position in the coming months years what or what's what we see we look ahead . well i would say it's going to be a long stretch to even see much more women coming up at the top of the helm of the big u.s. financial institutions covering wall street now for more than 20 years and besides that there are hardly any women on the 4th and york stock exchange but even in the boardrooms and specially when it comes to the c.e.o. position so this is a new one it's not that difficult as a woman to become a job on wall street or at one of the big banks but at one point it out to talk to many women all over the years in the financial industry at some point it's really getting tricky to serve the male colleagues there's such a strong network so who knows maybe at some point we see we will see another woman at the top of a of a big u.s.

financial institution but i wouldn't say that this is the big new trend on wall street are you and so we talked about frazier but what about the industry itself what kind of challenges is she going to face at citi group briefly if you could well clearly i mean one of the big challenges that we're going to see not just for the city but for a lot of the big financial institutions it's huge debts debt was the government that was called peroration but also consumer debt is on record highs so we will have to see if there will be some delinquencies we also might see that some people might not be able to pay their mortgage any longer so that's clearly going to be one of the big challenges near term everything related to the pond demick and then on top of it we are in the mall is 0 percent interest rate environment so that's also challenging for financial institutions but overall wall street seems to be optimistic that jane fraser might be up to the task right corner with the latest

from new york thank you. well it's the 2nd electric deal for general motors in less than a week this time a $2000000000.00 agreement with a startup nickel to produce its electric pick up and supplied batteries shares in both companies put the pedal to the metal after the announcement what is nicola is look at the other company named after a certain mr tesla. this is it had quarters this proclaimed disruptor of the transportation industry greets visitors with a variety of slick and shiny vehicles in the entry. so called big trucks away from their off road week it's all there it's show and tell what could be all rather what will be in the near future this man were an energy technology company that happens to make really cool big vehicles this is travel milton the founder of

nikola 38 years old and worth an estimated $4500000000.00. company considers himself a gifted man with plenty of ego and smarts of course primarily he just got lucky he says. started this it was it was very risky you know the odds of starting a company and succeeding are always against you and the odds of starting a company and turning it into a multi-billion dollar organization worldwide is like winning the lottery 2 times in a row perhaps not only militants relentless determination but also his ability to make others buy into his idea. to get to where it is now you start to realize that your least important person in the room it takes a long time takes a lot of you have to be able to go. at this point in time with just around 400 employees still a small company has great ambitions milton and his team do not just want to disrupt

but transform the trucking and transportation industry into an environmentally friendly business and not only in america but also in europe and around the world. destroyed. diesels dead. milton is creating operating and betting on a unique business model that he wants to apply to the trucking and transportation industry he's now multibillion dollar startup doesn't simply plan on selling cool vehicles powered by hydrogen and batteries. wants to be a 0 emissions one stop shop for truckers and transportation companies how when you buy a truck all your fuel is covered all your service your main it's all provided by us so that's the advantage that he has we're going to be building 50 hydrogen stations throughout europe and we'll just netted the quarter for his company we'll build and deliver up to 2500 electric garbage trucks for america 2nd largest waste management

company i will need needed as analysts and perhaps some investors complaint the reason so far only really sold t. shirts and pants but no trucks of the vehicles or hydrogen stations and maintenance packages. will be one of the top 5 companies in the world but remember need is a start up maybe its past is not long enough to say definitively more about its future then perhaps promising. let's go over to china now where a new survey suggests officials they're using the pandemic to up the pressure on european firms companies with workers in the country told the european union chamber of commerce in china the beijing is frequently refusing to grant managers and workers entry the findings come just days after president xi jinping promised the business community to continue to open the economy to the world. in late may several 100 german executives and their families who had been forced to leave china

due to the pandemic were granted special permission to return to their workplaces their. but it was anything but a sign of getting back to normal. many european companies in china are still waiting for their employees to return but chinese authorities are refusing to let them in again in a survey by the european chamber of commerce in china at the end of july 13rd of the company said that none of their foreign employees had been allowed to return around one in 5 companies stated that only some of their ex-pats had been able to come back and only 17 percent said all employees had been permitted to return to china. the european chamber sees this as a further sign of tightening restrictions against european companies. almost half of those questions said the pressure came mainly from the chinese government 44 percent said the tone of chinese media had become more strident and more than

a quarter also it had negative experiences with the communist party. while europe's borders are largely open to chinese investors the hurdles for entering the chinese market are getting higher and higher those who manage to do so are often hindered by unfair business conditions in the country one big exception is the auto industry this is where cooperation has been improving for the benefit of both sides the european chamber says this should serve as a model for other sectors. earlier we spoke to your vote he's head of the european union chamber of commerce in china and we asked him whether the continent was any closer to an investment deal with china. well i mean we had many promises of we had baby steps in the opening up and what we read in eat is that deal is something that science see it deliberate something that is committing china i mean i'm talking about the investment agreement which will be discussed on monday between now going

to america the end xi jinping in this china summit so the way yes we heard many words of opening up we call it sometimes problems for peak because they didn't read it translated into actions right now to some of the other business stories making news. e.c.v. head christine lagarde gave stock markets and the euro boost and she forecasts the euro zone's coronavirus downturn will be less severe than feared the eurozone economy is likely to shrink by 8 percent this year euro is riding high to single currency hit $1.19 against the greenback. french luxury goods conglomerate l v m h said that it would fall its own court case against u.s. jeweler tiffany which is suing it to enforce a merger agreement signed last year l v m h had announced on wednesday it was unable to go ahead with its planned $16200000000.00 purchase of tiffany. all right speaking of
