his credo no chemical. step. straight. students are. training successful. starts october 15th. welcome to a new edition of the 77 percent my name is liz schoen and i'm thrilled to have your company and. this is what's coming up on this week's show. we ask young migrants in italy who made the perilous journey across the mediterranean sea whether it was worth it. in sudan we need some

inspiring passion because i know we're returned home after many years abroad. and gone out we go for a ride with one of the 1st female tracks and drive. europe it was the dream destination for paul not to like many others he wanted to leave his country in search of a better life money security a well paid job a big house that's what young migrants are hoping for and that's what people smugglers promise them. but what about the risks of making the journey to europe full now do is now back home in ivory coast's and his warning others about how dangerous illegal migration can be. the biggest city of ivory coast and the home of paul not to. 2016 he wanted to migrate to europe but he was arrested in libya and sent to a crowded prison with more than 4000 inmates. who.

initially. it was a prison where she sometimes came to look for people. forced into prostitution to see others were sent to places which were known for organ trafficking if they knew that your parents were to be treated so they tried to extort money from them he said that's what you like. paul managed to get out of the prison he was found by workers from the international organization for migration and was sent back to ivory coast. my ship but tonight i got all and today i'm a large and he's in bed there are people who come back with only one food or one hand they are practically with no fears because it might explode if they are so many things that can go wrong. paul wishes he had had more information about the harsh realities of migration before he left so he decided to find association to help returning migrants and warn those who are planning to leave. the neighborhood meetings called the grains paul talks openly about the dark side of illegal

migration. a long while and while you say that we don't have enough money when you go to the embassy there will be men 301 euros for you. but if you want to leave illegally you might have to say anything between 60780 euros before you even reach leave you are saying something for a while that one. and then sometimes the young men hold his warnings and they abandon their plans to the if they will face the man who was that on the staff and then of the mother with a information they gave us and yes we is the shit i don't think everybody can be so lucky if i decide to leave by misfortune or by a place i don't know what could happen to me or know somebody and they might even. have. to run whole composes alternative options to provide contact details of state

agencies which can help them find a job. so soon for them it's also important to inform them that the government is willing to help them in this room i prefer to see them after lying for a job here instead of leaving and guy you know. if it's an awful lot. of. paul sr is totally convinced that it's possible to stay in ivory coast and succeed. paul is now living with her while looking for an easy job. but it hasn't been easy but tourney's often suffer from discrimination. and. here they have an expression that you try to keep the ball but you hit the gold course the 2nd you left on an adventure and you didn't succeed. it is if you failed an exam me too of all to be seen as the person who kicked and hit the. many retired

immigrant try to hype. but no matter how hard it is paul doesn't want to hide he hopes to find a job soon and will continue to share his experiences. the truth that's what you often don't hear from friends and relatives living in europe they don't tell you about how they nearly lost their lives while crossing the mediterranean on rubber bullets how they go to bed hungry because they can't afford 3 full meals a day or how they have to work a day and snipes to have enough money to send back home my colleague chris and one who i wasn't palermo in southern italy where many migrants arrive and there she talks to young africans about how their journey to europe really was like and whether their lives have turned out the way they have thought. the 77 percent is in italy this country is home to many young people who left

africa they crossed the scorching so hard they braved the unpredictable minutes rainy and all in pursuit of a better life in europe today we're asking if the life they're living here was worth the risk they took to get a lot you're going to start out with you right now what's does it take to make it in here to get here. a lot of their fault it takes a lot of it takes great bravery to make a. hard day's. duty maybe today and but these are the 1st steps it depends on what one piece running from what one wants to see in the in the new up right chris i'm going to come to you right now and we'll talk a little bit about coming here what you faced what you saw what you experienced. what i came to italy. not just. alone. like. us and most of them now in in the video scornfully in africa because it wasn't easy

for them to decide to do also with luck you know you know like most people and they've passed through the sahara desert they also did they went through this the material where they were not that lucky most people have. gone through the sea and most most of them and down there they drown these drowned so let's say i was really really really like lucky to be alive i was right he literally allege i'm going to come back to you because i'm picking up that the bright what the reality is is different from from the dream that we had to be you know we see in africa is portrayed on. you know why do t.v. by the social media facebook whatever write mama off rekha is suffering because. what are the sources that people are believing the colonial stories writing what they have brought us what we are speaking now so the reason you are speaking was that what brought us do not really have to decide to decide who looked

a committee today and see write us the cemetery we are what most of all here does and says that's what they do here is to go on picket be joy in front of your philosophy and that's really just information right right and i want to come to you ishmael because you tell us what life is like do you drive a ferrari because that's what people think they mean prosperity if in their life in iraq is this see as their life be a quality in the hail in hell says because in as i'm put in iraq able to be on the train and you are not if you are not in the comments what are you going to do you go too far to the ground to log maybe or leave or up to 5 o'clock in the evening time in d.c. and i will give you 25 without food you cons of i have that you cannot survive on that in italy here i leave it there because i want to come back see you chris most of last like immigrants we have pressures from home people call at our parents call

from any color like. these can you do the scheme did up did all of the forgot about like you have this like. that you are in a new place you know ishmael so. you. you've made it very clear that you're not living the dream in here to help you understand why that is the case. more so far so appealing still be appropriate to let us travel right because of what's seen now broad based and paid into you to fit a scheme and say ok if you want to get a better if. it's intended to 5 debates place for you to enter. and which is no troop l.h.a. you are a lawyer and you specialize in migration it's really is has new laws that make it more difficult for people who come through the mediterranean to be able to stay here legally talk to us about that when news asked for international protection

until 2000 for up the other 2 dozen 18 you were able to ask for 3 kinds of protections the 1st 2 kind of protection where the european ones and the 3rd kind was an entirely in protection that was given to man and people that were not persecuted from in their county and they were not coming from some countries where there is the war civil war right now is going to be more difficult because if they're not running away from a persecution or from a dental scoundrelly down the you know the money tell them protection is not easy to get a protection ok chris you know the journey that you took to get here. crossing the water the desert everything living in the camps. look at your life today right do you reckon it was all worth with it what i have to say what i went through. is not really worth you know to come to displace to risk your life

for the 1st place it's not really worth if you look at body it's ok so you know it's not whether it's relevant to come back to you because for somebody in africa was thinking about doing what you did what would you say to them the amount of money you are going to spin. from west africa to get to europe you can use that kind money to start from destruction and i bet you at the end of 6 months you will see yourself in a position so was it worth it for you coming here everything you went through for the life you live in your city wasn't with it nada life i'm living in today it's not the kind of life i need election when i come back to you now because in this discussion now what are your final points i want to speak to all politicians and i call them. you know because they are not looking at the interest the needs the vulnerability that constrain people to my grid because to the gumbo to senegal to african political leaders it is convenient even if we die in the streets even if we

die in the us we can send remittances so i'm telling africans who are there that i am guilty for being here if you come here you are opening from your walk you are running from changing africa so if i am speaking and if you can hear me today i am saying i should bark and then we should walk on what is happening because the future is in africa real question is is the future in africa for offer it comes we are all slaves we are discriminated we are stigmatized why is africa enslaved to we don't really never be the future is still there the question is who is this is it for african when we all run from the from from the from the things that we should try to make up there. so you've heard from them and now we want to hear from you this is the story off of shattered dreams they left africa in pursuit of a better life and they're telling us today they have not found it instead they're

saying that the life they've long been dreaming for is back in africa on the motherland it's engage on social media this is the 77 percent in italy. a big thank you to a christian and everybody who shared their story and as always you can watch a longer version of this lively debate on you tube and make sure you subscribe to our channel. so we just heard from young africans who are trying to make it here in europe but they also some who are doing the exact opposite they are moving back to africa in search of a better life there somehow i am spent most of her life in the u.k. and in saudi arabia and she never felt a real connection to her parents' home country which is until one particular visit opened her eyes and it also gave her a business idea. i'm 70 i am a fashion blogger

a fashion photographer and they had designer of the he's the project i was born in the u.k. but i grew up in saudi arabia. i did my school you in saudi arabia before my parents moved back to the u.k. even though i was born abroad and most of my schooling was abroad i did go to medical school in sudan even though i just spent the 5 years here i didn't really greedy but love since i'm already love our tradition or love our cultures since we were young we were always told about our so that in fact that's tradition it's terrible you know just work hard so you can eat on and so even after i finished my university would like to think i'm a whiny teaches and i need to use it but there's nothing for me and so now i'm. as i started doing older and i always travel back to dance a visit something to kingside my started like connecting with sudan it was only about 2 years ago when i train when i travel to north and east of sudan i started

it was to then have to also from culture beauty. the people everything. that's when i started feeling culturally connected i'm very very sydney. i dread enough time to prepare for good i have other creative passions and other creative endeavors i always loved fashion. when i moved to. and then the 1017 they just felt like it was time it was time to stay in sudan i mean it's time to pursue my passions. i remember my son believe a respecting the society you live in and respecting the culture you live in because even though i'm sitting means i was brought up abroad and so my idea of you know social or cultural freedom is a bit different here so trying to still be myself or respect for the culture i

think is my greatest challenge you know trying not to lose what makes me sad. when i was growing up my parents always told me that i can do any job that's a boy can do and i believed them but there were some jobs that i only saw men do for example i never met a female lorry driver or a woman driving a tractor well here's a role model for all young girls dreaming of becoming tractor drivers it came back to ok. she is the prime time island in ghana and she is proof that big wheels are not just for men. whenever the truck to route across the bumpy field he came up to katie he was a rush of joy she is the 1st licensed female truck driver in northern gaza as well as the money to integrate the farms on the outskirts of tommy the 26 year old

killed lives in the cheap men's pub made her a role model for many young farmers. i was the 1st. in a train and in region dr who reads and then. also excited after training when i came back to people and so on nice to see you my face in history to driving a truck back there i so i'm nice and due to dad's in need is like my age joint program and our number is increasing. just a few kilometers away he came up to a radio station as well as a farm where you might also host a radio show actually on his show she gives advice to far missing dallas not in the region she office tips and advice for growing grant raising cattle and the right kind of harvest yeah radio is very important because. most of their

population over 80 percent of the population especially northern parts of. do not. take him out to ones to help them the majority of people in ghana are dependent on agriculture by small farmers often luck specialist knowledge. just radio show. young women also benefit from the program they lend how to increase yields and provide better. benefits a lot and so i can sell the eggs buy food for my family and i can give the eggs to my children when i took them so they stay home and they will be my. want to know. to always work positive feedback she qualified as a senior. this means she can repair the truck for herself and offer more tips about

truck this she says spearheading a path for other young women like yourself and it's keen to convince them to enter the world of agriculture will mention will go into farming because farming if you're going to. it's. easy. comparing it to. farming is easy and then you can get some money out of it so i say well money if you're going to farm and you make money on then you help your family. radio presenter truck driver role model. to is driven by the support of others she dreams of a future where even more truck drivers like a will be able to feed themselves and their families. it's never fun to talk about diseases but from time to time we have to tell where

is the international breast cancer awareness month. and that reminds me of how my gynecologist always asks me whether i regularly check my breasts to see if there are any lumps and i have to admit that i never check although i know it's important we asked the women in nairobi kenya whether they regularly check themselves and the whether they even know how to do it. no i don't know how to check myself because. i have not. seen them i don't know how to check myself because i've never met someone who has the disease so that scares me a lot no because of never going to for a check call. they have never played in the whole district. that it's a different game at least once a month and if they show a child and. charge my risk of disease these are members of this.

so i'm actually not the only one who doesn't do a regular check but it's actually really important because it may help detect breast cancer at an early stage aspiring dr beauty said ok and is educating women and girls on this form of cancer which is the most common in women worldwide beauty and realize that many people in her home country togo don't know a lot about breast cancer and so she founded a student's group called emily ames and she took action. breast cancer what is it and how can you tell if you have it. that's what these teenage girls at the revelation high school in the me are here to find out today in 2017 young trainee doctor beauty so doc in his business had more than 20 high schools in tokyo to promote breast cancer awareness it's called. was i mean that

m l a 2 or rose could positively influence the future of africa because our initial goal is to end the current trend of detecting breast cancer on the in its advanced stages so once the kurds are informed about breast cancer detection they go home and have to try to share this information with at least 10 people. and this is what sidonie does after turning the m.r.i. to a horse workshop the 15 year old shared what she had learned about tumors and breast examinations with her friend to friend and her mother. before the talk was came to our high school i didn't know anything about breast cancer so my make gone but i learned a lot when they came they also showed us how to detect breast cancer come off air force out what i think your local self-restraint would too according to the world health organization more than 3000 people in tokyo died from cancer and 28000 alone

almost 750 women died from breast cancer the majority of the population in total lives below the poverty line this makes it more difficult for them to access prevention measures and other important from ation about cancer diseases. beauty sodo can work as a trainee neurologist at a korean university teaching hospital in nami the 25 year old was nominated by the global health council as one of the female leaders in the field she believes that it is more important to invest. in prevention rather than treatment. we have noticed that at the hospital many women who are. breast cancer women who have no idea about the disease and don't know anything about what we call breast self-examination going up there to examine this. so far have already trained over

$6000.00 girls but there's still much more ground to cover. increasing awareness is just the past and the battle against the most common type of cancer found in women worldwide. and that's why i put on this breast cancer awareness ribbon and i'm hoping it will remind me to do a self check today as always i'd like to hear your thoughts on this topic and on any other story that we had on today's show send us an e-mail to 77 as com or you can also get in touch with us on social media well we've come to the end of the 77 percent for today thank you so much for watching i'll leave you with some music from my home country times and here i am i'm a part time zone with his hit can you enjoy and see you and they. don't know.

good. job made for minds. this is d.w. news live from berlin donald trump's personal physician makes an announcement about the u.s. president's condition saying donald trump is doing very well the u.s. leader is being treated at a military hospital after testing positive for cool the 90. also on the show germany celebrates 30 here is a brit unification german president from baltar's time meyer speaks at the official

ceremony calling the past 30 years a triumph of democracy over oppression and he issues a warning against populism and extremism. i'm married to evanston welcome to the program u.s. president donald trump has tweeted for the 1st time since he was hospitalized with cope at 19 he said he was feeling well it came shortly after the doctor treating president trump gave an upbeat assessment of his patients progress white house physician dr sean connelly said trump symptoms were improving bonte he also warned that the critical phase of a covert $1000.00 infection would come in a few days as reported yesterday consultation with this group

recommended we bring the president up to walter reed the precautionary measure measure. to provide state of the art monitoring and any care that he may need. just 72 hours into the diagnosis now the 1st week of it in a particular day 7 to 10 of the most critical in determining the likely course of this illness. at this time the team and i are extremely happy with the progress the president has made. there is a he had a mild cough and some nasal congestion fatigue all of which are now resulting in improving. all right for more on all this when joined now by our correspondent in washington stephan demon's hello to you stefan so trumps a physician there painting a rather rosy picture of trump's condition but his statement was rather thin on details what did you make of it. it's not right it was thin on details and guess what it actually had a whole there is a problem with the statement on 1st site it looked very very good and everything is

hunky dorey the president there's a good care and there is no problem and there hopefully won't be any problem now he said 72 hours into the diagnosis that's a problem he's messing up dr sean carney is messing up the timeline it does not add up when was the president found covert 900 positive and how long was the negative was it 72 hours ago that means that the diagnosis he's being 19 positive was on wednesday on thursday still on thursday the president went to new jersey to a donor event and a full kraut no mess no social distancing only on thursday night into friday morning we learned that he is covert 19 positive so something is not right there and this statement i'm sorry leaves more questions still then it gives answers when stefan there are some more contradictions now that there are some other reports

we're hearing saying that president trump's condition is actually concerning what can you tell us about those reports. now you see this is the same this is white house communication and their effort to get information and it is a mess so we have this statement at this press conference from the doctors from the team of doctors take care of the president and then minutes later a source approaching the pool reporters those reporters who are on the side at medical at the walter reed medical center because you cannot put hundreds of other reporters in this in those quarters there they are approached by a source who doesn't want to be named but who has intimate knowledge about where the president is in terms of its health is there and he rings the alarm bells with a statement saying basically that the last 24 hours they were really really concerned and that he is definitely not out of the woods and that's why he is at

medical rule to read medical center and not as a precautionary measure as the doctors just say bottom line is this white house has a trust problem and an information problem meaning it is not transparent nobody believes the white house and as reporters and press here everybody is disappointed about this lack of transparency in this situation stefan do stay with us for just a moment we 1st like to have a look at how news of president trump's corona virus infection 1st emerged and what treatment he's been receiving and then we'll talk some more. the 1st glimpse of the u.s. president since he shocked the world with his covert 19 diagnosis. his trump is being transferred to a hospital with officials insisting it's only a precautionary measure. the white house said he was fatigued but in good spirits and experiencing mild symptoms. before takeoff the president assured his supporters

he was doing ok. i want to thank you everybody for the tremendous support i'm moving to walter reed hospital i think i'm doing very well we're going to make it worth the things that we're the 1st lady is doing. so we're thank you very much very appreciated. thank you. the white house had been on high alert after news that a top aide was diagnosed with the virus on thursday politics seen here in the brown coat often travels with president trump now the race is on to try some test the people who might have come into contact with the president and the potential pool of people is huge several other people close to trump of now tested positive for corona virus and that number could grow even further. form a senior adviser to the president kellyanne conway seen here talking to u.s.

attorney general bill barr was at an event at the white house rose garden a week ago she has since tested positive for the virus and so 2 republican senator mike lee seen here shaking hands touching and hugging people at the same event. with an election to win trump has been on the road to addressing voters. but he hasn't always worn a face mask or followed social distancing god lines. outside of the vault of reed hospital trump supporters have been gathering to show their support for the president. there with a month until the election trumps illness has thrown his campaign into uncharted territory. and if donald trump hopes to stay in office he's going to have to beat the coronavirus 1st. and still with us from washington d.c. is the w. correspondent stefan the month so chef and we saw in that report numerous people in trump's inner circle have now tested positive for covert 19 did his physician say

anything about where the president and the others could possibly have been infected . you know he stayed away from this because this is of course highly public and political it's it's problematic it's political and this man is a doctor he's trusted with the care of the president he's not going to go anywhere near saying where this where the president was impacted or infected by covert 900 for him for his purpose and for what he's doing now it doesn't really matter what it was that's important for us that's important for the american public but it looks like it was this super spreader event at the rose garden in the white house they were not only sitting in the way there were also a lot of handshaking and hugging and celebrating inside the white house as the president nominated and announce his pick for his supreme court seat i mean tony barrett want to say one more thing just now and that was referring to the statement of the doctor. a few national outlets here national media now reporting that

a source in the white house is telling now that the president actually received oxygen support supplemental oxygen on friday which would again right throw a wrench into what the doctor said what the doctors team of the president said about what how the circumstances where he was going to walter reed hospital so it doesn't seem to be out of the woods at all and it does not all seem to be as the white house is making us believe or those doctors teams was making his belief stiffen siemens in washington d.c. many thanks or at least 15 people have been killed in eastern afghanistan after attackers detonated a truck bomb in our province local official thing many more were wounded and casualties could rise no group has yet claimed responsibility violence continues in the war torn nation despite ongoing peace talks taking place in qatar. german

to the coronavirus pandemic. a landmark date celebrating 30 years since a divided germany became one again the film studios in potsdam just outside berlin provided the stage for the official ceremony a toned down event due to the coronavirus pandemic only 230 guests were present about one 5th of the audience originally planned plans for a big street party had to be abandoned. in this keynote speech german president. said the pandemic couldn't blunt the country's pride in the achievement of reunification he paid tribute to the peaceful revolution in communist east germany that brought down the berlin wall in november 1989. well. 2020 of the german federal republic is a country that has been molded by east germans and west germans well rooted family

and. it is a country that draws hope from the victory of the ideas of 989. many were the lessons learned from germany's the vision and reunification stein maya said including the country's strong belief in international cooperation and approach now often being called into question around the world. we germans are committed to international cooperation even though it has become harder especially since it has become harder. we want to stand up for a strong and fair international order together with our partners in europe ladies and gentlemen dear guests this too is a lesson in mission we've inherited from our history. a day of remembrance but also of celebration accompanied by performances appealing to the musical tastes of all

age groups including the almost 13000000 germans who are 30 years old or younger who never experienced a divided germany. a country now united but were economic and sometimes cultural differences still exist recent polls show 2 thirds of germans don't think the process of reunification is complete a task that will be up to younger generations to accomplish in the years to come get up with correspondent nina the fall of the avantha for us in potsdam and despite the coronavirus restrictions the organizers got creative. i mean part of the host of official to give it he's mocking 30 years of german reunification now here in part some on this boulevard organizers have set up 16 cubes where the 16 federal state can present themselves and people can learn something about the many faces of more than germany now of course the coronavirus condemning has forced organizers to scale down official events considerably and you do have to wear

a mask on this boulevard for example but what the coronavirus endemic has also done in an interesting twist of fate almost is that it has meant that many west german have gone to east germany for the very 1st time in their lives there are studies that show that one in 5 west germans have never been to germany and that change they fear well west germans found themselves going on their summer holiday to places like macon will call home on. and that was d w correspondent nina behind the mask reporting. now turning now to some sports news and in the bundesliga dortmund rebounded from a loss last weekend to easily defeat freiburg 4 nil right banksy takes passed last round out the scoring in the game's final minutes with his 1st ever bundesliga goal
