use my words to how quick intercultural understanding my name is and i'm away and i work and to down people's. fears for everyone schuman penises are very different from primates we have very totally ridiculous romanticized view nature. this is climate change regular sex how do you know and books you get smarter for free books on. this estate every news appetite coming up on the program too many have been found guilty of aiding them in the sense who killed 67 people at an upscale mall in nairobi in sweeney. canada line now be drawn under this case. and enjoying the view from imagine in cape town but why have these activists illegally occupied this matter we hope. to also thousands of muslims have descended

upon the city goes holy city too bad for the annual brand. cocoa beach but there are fears it could become a super sporting event the call that night t. m to see what it's good to have your company it was one of the worst attacks by is anonymous militants in kenya now of course in the ruby has found 2 out of 3 men guilty full day of roles in the 2013 assault on the westgate shopping mall the judge found that the 2 defendants mohamed and saddam hussein will staffa conspired with and assisted for gunman from the somali militant group al-shabaab to carry out the attack

a 3rd defended was acquitted on all charges at least $67.00 people died when the attackers opened fire at shoppers and then engaged in a 4 day standoff with kenyan security forces the government in the age the gunmen were also killed but critics say the main perpetrators were able to escape. and for more on this story i'm joined by this if journalist john allen now will who's been covering this particular story for the media is welcome to news africa jon and just tell us a little bit more about what these men and well on trial for. so that the men were part of a number of other suspects who were charged with conspiracy to commit a terrorist act assisting aiding and abetting terrorists and commission of a terrorist act to kenya that being the westgate see september the 21st 2030 and we 67 people that at least one believed to have been killed perhaps one

of the most high profile terrorist attacks in the country's history so it's one that's had a lot of international attention and john how is this verdict being received this much anticipated verdict. well from what we can see in terms of a legal opinion as well as just public opinion it's being received very positively the westgate of course left a stain on the conscience of kenya and security agencies because of the way it was handled but more importantly the it left a huge mark in terms of the lives of the people who were affected and of it into left who were killed on that big and westgate of course was attending point in terms of that the ramping up of the war against the out about the number of times it went to the police and there really is no love lost between members of the public and the arch about terrorism. and john well can you be able to now draw

a line and of this tragedy. i don't think so the war against the out of are still ongoing in so molly especially along the very long and very porous border between kenya and somalia starting way up north in mind their own all it down to look coursed. there have been many many attacks and many incursions that i'm have to get at least. various parts of the border right all that i was going to tell you of course kenyan. military kenya's defense forces are part. of the african mission in somalia who are fighting rightly fighting the ouch about they had been turned on in terms of the number. but it would have the other war still ongoing right jan i do want to bring you back to this specific attack in way skates because they came in government has always maintained that security forces killed to be attackers or the gunmen who stormed the mall but there's also always

been doubts about that. and i think that all springs from the fact that the one nor all of these found that could be laid might be any evidence to that terrorists who made that stand in the mall well or a number of reports that came out from the f.b.i. in 2014 added that it was the it did the attackers did make their last stand in the mall and there was no evidence that the a state especially from the outside would have celebrated that victory so in terms of a force of conspiracy theories that still out there and much earlier reporting and might include in the reporting that we had been a part suggested that they might have escaped but that night also is open to yank a pretty nasty john you were talking about the fact that al shabaab remains a threat in kenya why is the government struggling to rein in these extremist groups. it is with any guerrilla conflict.

it is is in the manner in which these these these attackers are able to make these atrocities as they are caught up especially in the southernmost part of the border of the only forest which allows them to come in and out in the various communities secondly there have been allegations that as being something we need to support for the out of a one as a modern cycle. and it's really just been difficult to supplement them based on the amount of support that they're gonna give. him about 2011 on what's insightful not about the big factor and he also has quite a bit of local support for people who would agree and join the arch of up through the ages of 1011 all right that's journalist john allen and will thank you john. on a story is in cape town way a group of activists illegally occupying

a mansion in an affluent suburb of the city they say they want to draw attention to land and housing issues a court has ordered them to vacate the premises by thursday he dreamed krishna took it this story. this is cam space one of cape town's most beautiful and exclusive neighborhoods houses you can easily cost several $1000000.00 euros most presidents why it's 26 years after racial segregation and but not in this last month a queer activist collective booked the luxury holiday home for 3 nights and has been occupying it ever since. it's one of the supporters. if you compare it to where you live before is a big difference in the. city . i can complain about that.

distance is the best one ever. known used to live in cape town's biggest township he was often discriminated because of his sexual orientation including by his parents who kicked him out of their homes. cape town is seen as the most liberal city on the continent like news articles labeled as the gay capital of africa even though that's not the case because there are many different cape town. terms. where it can turn everything is new for you in giving nothing. because. we've been one of the 1st countries to process. your eyes fairly policy into the constitution like gay marriage etc you know like this this thing about you can be visible we've had pride but like with everything that comes with a caveat that even depending on which space you're depending on which class.

protected you are because of that and you kept on is that if you go that's really i mean it's inexcusable. and it's linked to having to sit. having done all this like nothing to reform the injustices of the price the struggle for rights under fordable housing for the elderly beachy community is now a matter for the courts to decide the building's owner who lives in europe has demanded the squatters leave immediately taking leave this property was larger here's a picture from what the cause was with the reasons building went into the property this was done to member not that different. you can go into a property i think that you can stay in that property and under false pretenses the lawyer says the rule of law is at risk more such illegal occupation is good result and chaos would ensue for the judge said he understands the course of the protests but does not agree with the means to be there for the protesters to leave the house

were right. that people here are going back to their home regions we feel we will have more corona cases here and to book but we will have to thoroughly analyze in the next 10 days the evolution of infection in all the regions of senegal because as you know people from all over the country have come for the pilgrimage. to. synagogue was among the 1st african countries to report covert 1000 cases but so far it has been able to avoid the high death tolls the authorities here now hope that this will still be the case in the weeks following the market. and that is what i'll be sure to check out our. stories on dot com forward slash africa we're also on facebook and on twitter we always interested to know what you think about the stories that we have a hail program and the stories that we should be covering see you next time about.

out in front when it comes to meet consumption but the germans do eat twice as much meat as the global average meat is an important component in many traditional dishes and there's not much the germans take more seriously than a barbecue. they go to the. pork is the nation's favorite and around half of the meat eating in germany is consumed in the sausage for germany also produces more meat than it can eat are you thinking what i'm thinking there's a big meaty elephant in the room right c c. discussion around the environmental impact of meat production is gathering pace and a few years ago a green party proposal to introduce a vegetarian canteens across the country went down like an empty but around 8 percent of the population claims to be vegetarian and the trend is even stronger among the environmentally woke younger generation. and began a. good competition as.
