in the. winter. for me. what's in store. for the future. for the major cities. in sight. i'm sure. we'll come 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 an inspiring passion you sign up for returning home after many years abroad. and and gone out we go for a ride with one of dan i was 1st the female tractor driver in. europe it was the

dream destination for paul had 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. these are the. initial. it was a prison were sure sometimes came to look for people that they could force into prostitution the 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 and they said yes we're telling lies. 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. but tonight i got on and today i'm alleging that there are people who come back with only one food or one hand or practically with no fears because it might explode and there 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 demand 300 euros for your document was just on the phone but if you want to leave illegally you might have to say anything between 60780 euros before you even reach leave a sing song if i won that one. and it was sometimes the young men who had his warnings and they abandoned their plans to leave at the wharf where the man was at on a slow and then of a 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 in the mountains it was. rough 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 and this is true i preferred to

see them applying for a jog here instead of leaving and guy in. boston it's an awfully good at least one element of. paul sr is totally convinced that it's possible to stay in ivory coast and succeed. paul is now living with well looking for a new 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 back you hit the goal post the 2nd you left on an adventure and you didn't succeed. it is if you failed an exam me to avoid to be seen as the person who kicked and he had. many retired immigrant try to hide. 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 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 of 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 its city this country is home to many young people who left africa they crossed the scorching sun they braved the unpredictable minutes rainy and all in pursuit of a better life in europe today were asking if the life the living hell 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 your girl a drink the decks a lot of therefore it takes a lot of it takes great bravery to make it. through the many today and but these are the 1st steps it depends on what one piece running from what one wants to see in him in europe 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. you know what i came to italy. not just. alone. like. you guys and most of them the now in in the various corn field 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 a material where they were not that lucky most people have. gone through the sea and most most of them and down there they've been around these drones so i was really really really like lucky to be alive i was right in italy allege i'm going to come back to you because i'm picking up that the bride what the reality is is different from from the dream that we have to be you know if we see in africa is portrayed on. you know why do t.v. by the social media facebook whatever mom off rekha is suffering because. what are the sources that people i believe in equal o'neil 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 it is our old you know take the mediterranean sea right past the cemetery we are what most of all your business is that's what they do here is to go on take it be joy in front of your feel adi and

that's really just information i write 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 the equality in the hail in hell says because in as i'm put in iraq able to base on trade 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 live . up to 5 o'clock india even in a time in this heat and i will give you 25 without food u. conn's a 5 that you cannot survive on that in italy i leave it there because i want to come back to you chris mosel force like immigrants we have pressures from home people call out our parents call from any call like can you send me these can you do the skin you did that did or they forgot about like you have these like. that

you are in a new place you know it smell 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 for us all appearing still be appropriate to let us travel great because of what's seen in our broad base and paid into your affairs came in salad bar ok if you want to get a better if. it's intended to 5 debates please for you to and. and which is not true l.h.o. 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 dollar 2 dozen 18 you were able to ask for 3 kinds of protections the 1st 2 kind of protection where the european one side the 1st kind was an italian

protection that was given to many 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 scoundrel we delegate you know humanitarian protection is not easy to get a protection ok chris you know the journey that you took to get share. 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 it you know to come to this place to risk your life for the 4th place it's not really worth it if you look at body it's ok so you know it's not with ishmael i want 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 spend. 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're living in today wasn't with it's not their life i'm living in today here 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 deval not our ability that constrain people to margaret 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 enough we offer it comes we also live we are discriminated we are stigmatized why is africa enslaved do we run for we will 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 teams that we should try to make up their. 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 a gauge on social media this is the 77 percent in italy. a

big thank you to christine 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're 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 until one particular visit opened her eyes and it also gave her a business idea. i'm sorry i am a fashion blogger a fashion photographer and they had designer of them a few the projects i was born in the u.k. but i grew up in saudi arabia. i did my schooling 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 had to go to medical school in sudan even though i had to spend the 5 years here i didn't receive greedy but love sudan or love or tradition or love occultist since we were young we were always told back off so that in fact the situation is terrible you know just work hard so you can nice it down and so even after i finish my university what do you think i'm a want me to leave soon i need to use it and there's nothing for me and soon i'm. as i started going older and i always travel back sometimes a visit something to the side i 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 to see more so than has to also from culture beauty. the people everything.

that's when i started feeling culturally connected i'm very. very suited me. i had already left my medical career for good i had other creative passions and other creative endeavors i always loved fashion. when i moved to sudan and then to 1017 they just felt like it was time it was time to say this is i'm i mean it's time to pursue my passions. i remember not to believe a respect to 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 our respect for the culture i think is my greatest challenge you know trying not to lose just what makes me sad.

when i was growing up my parents always told me that i can do any job that 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 he came out to. she is a prime time island in ghana and she is proof that big wheels are not just for men . whenever the tractor ropes across the bumpy field he came up to katie he was a rush of joy she is the 1st licensed female tractor driver in northern uganda as well as the money to integrate the farms on the outskirts of tamani with 26 there was killed listen the chief minister made her a role model for many young farmers. i was the 1st. in

a train and in region dr who reads and then. we. are so excited. when i came back to people and so on nice to see you my face in history to be driving a truck. so i'm nice and due to dad's ladies like my joint. and our number is increasing. just a few clear metres away he came up to a radio station as well as a farm where he might also host a radio show on his show she gives advice to far missing adonis northern region she office tips and advice for growing green 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 tough

then it became out who wants to help them the majority of people in ghana are dependent on agriculture small farmers often lack of specialist knowledge. just radio sure. young woman also benefit from the program the land how to increase yields and provide better care to the. benefit a lot i can sell the eggs buy food for my family and i can give the eggs to my children. you know people call them so they stay home and they have been my. want to know over. to always positive feedback she's now qualified as a senior. this means she can repair the truck for herself and 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 read it's. easy but comparing it to. farming is easy and then you can get some money out of it so if you go into farming you make money and then you help your family. radio presenter truck driver role model. to is driven by the support of obvious 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 you could just i don't know how to check myself because i've never met someone who has the disease so that scares me a lot but no cause of never going to floyd to call cancer. i have never taken the whole trip. each and every time at least once a month and have a shower a chair and the church my. perceived needs a lump sum. 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 the odds here realize that many people in her home country don't know a lot about breast cancer and so she founded a student's group called emily 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 dr beauty so dark in this visited more than 20 high schools in tokyo to promote breast cancer awareness it's called a tool was i mean that m l a to a rose could post evil influence the future of africa because our initial goal is to end the current trend of detecting breast cancer on the in it's at funds to take

. once the girls 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 attending the m.r.i. to of course 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 cause came to our high school i didn't know anything about breast cancer so my make is what i learned a lot when they came they also showed us how to detect breast cancer more fair. 70 percent were too according to the world health organization more than 3000 people in tokyo died from cancer and 2018 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 for mation about cancer diseases. beauty sodo can works as a trainee a new role or just a took on university teaching hospital in the me 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 as. we have noticed that at the hospital many women who. breast cancer women who have no idea about the disease and don't know anything about what we call breast self examination on the medicine. so far have already trained over $6000.00 girls but there is still much more ground to cover. increasing awareness is just the 1st in 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 s.t.d. 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 i mean i am diamond platinum so with his hit enjoy and see you next. week. get back. to my days you know the. thing.
