3:32 pm

3:33 pm
people have been arrested under the new law. no one knows which political slogans are still allowed. you should be less guilty although you then choose to leave people guessing is the. who has offensiveness willing. to speak and that means that maybe. public libraries and school libraries are now being forced to remove books that don't follow the party line books my democracy activists have already vanished. many teachers are disheartened that resistance could cost them their jobs many in hong kong won't express their criticisms in public. we see that. freedom of speech freedom of press or.

3:35 pm
to avoid recognition a month ago cakes music class chose the song glory to hong kong for a class project. the song had become a him in the protest movement over the past year and was a viral hit. i. i sudanese in schools and universities made a video and then spread it on social media it was often sung at pro-democracy demonstrations. but cake's music teacher paid a high price for making the song a subject of the school exam she was fired. for all the time one of the students that presented the song in music class now i feel guilty that. the teacher was fired because of that song we never thought it would have such terrible
3:36 pm
consequences. what angers cake and k.f.c. the most is that their teacher was fired for trying to influence the students. but patriotic songs praising china's communist party are allowed in the school. so that all the song without the communist party. there would be no new china is not defined as a political song. why should glory to hong kong be considered a political song. cake and k.f.c. want to continue their protest to 14 and 16 year olds can barely believe how much the new law has already changed their lives free hong kong no longer exists. in the same streets were a 1000000 people marched to defend their rights and security and fear are the new

3:48 pm
structures for the city can't afford that 400000 people are already on the waiting lists for social housing that housing waiting list doesn't get shorter and the reason it doesn't get shorter is because there's constantly people pushing in the front if you were standing in a queue in a bank or at a cinema with theatre or something and you never got to the front because people were constantly pushing in the front you would become very angry and enraged. when you have a link annie and her family have also been hoping for an apartment from the state for a long time so far in the. the government will provide our needs because we need something like toilets or what. we have to get the we have to get them from the government it's our right if we have to leave in this place we have to. go because when we need to go to the loo oh you want to do the number 2 you have to take the bucket and then you did so the place is going to be full of all those
3:49 pm
things. you can go to the. people who are building the ouse are. convinced that she will continue to live fear in the future a court order for eviction takes up to one and a half years the police are not intervening for the time being and around her the settlement continues to grow. it's not just shelter that's been thrown into question because of the pandemic food is also becoming scarcer in parts of africa the central hell region is among the continent's hunger hotspots more than half of the populations of mali burkina faso and the share suffers from food insecurity defined as the lack of regular access to the food they need in mali the trend is even getting worse and for more on this i'm joined by david beasley the executive director of the world food program he joins me from berlin dave it's good to see you as always when we talk about food insecurity this term help us understand what
3:50 pm
that looks like on the ground for someone in mali or saber faso. well it's not good at all i mean did it was already bad before code we had economic deterioration a lot of serious issues with the sri mr druce terrorist groups trying to exploit the situation and not the mission then climate change moving down and millions of people being displaced and all of sudden totally comes right on top of that and so globally we're seeing from and i'm not talking about people that are going to bit hungry i'm talking about people that are on the brink of starvation that number was 135000000 before code now we see that number spiking to 270000000 by the end of this year and you break that down into places like mali and burkina faso here in other regions of africa it really is a bad situation there we're facing and and we're facing it literally as we speak in this unfolding as we speak david in what ways is the pen dimmock itself affecting food supplies it doesn't really involve sickness necessarily does it. well it's
3:51 pm
a combination of factors i mean you know what we're seeing to give it a good example is in nigeria when they had a 5 week lockdown they had about a 1000 people die from code but we had a 1000000 people go into food insecurity because of the lot down is still where she had economic deterioration we're seeing a spike in food prices throughout africa lack of access economic theory ation loss of jobs you know if you do a lot down in the say in berlin people get food in their pantry for a week or 2 but a lot of these places they live hand to mouth day to day so if you do a lot then you've got to make certain that we have a safety net program in place if you don't if we don't address this right you will eat the head master mason mass destabilization or mass migration in a salon cheaper to go in and help the people who need help during this extremely difficult what exactly is needed to improve the situation talk about going in what
3:52 pm
kind of resources do you need and how close are you to getting it. well he you're not talking about a few $100000000.00 talk about billions of dollars around the world but particularly in africa if we get the right money right now we can come in because we're actually the supply chain for code at this point in time you know with their line into shutting down so we're moving copa supplies moving in food doing what we can do to make certain that we don't have export bans shut down additional points because if you do you might not get seeds in or or fertilizers or food or whatever the case may be now what is critical is economic recovery and i note countries like germany which has done an amazing partner with us an economic stimulus package is also helping us direct monies on the ground in the strategic location because if we don't come in with a strategic support you can have destabilization in migration people don't want to leave their home area but if they don't have food and they don't have the degree of
