well you. in the right of entry. africa. what's in store. for the future. for the major cities. inside. enter. this is the news africa coming up on the program that have us thinking impacts of climate change on africa why is the continent's the most vulnerable and how can we better handle it and you reports who's to give sometimes there's also coming out. after another weekend of looting in nigeria the judicial panel in lagos has convened to look into allegations of police brutality but is that enough to pacify protesters.

and you are welcome to the program in europe africa is the in head todd by climate change but the west could be yet to come if action is not taking the world mature logical organization says the continent was impacted by your number of extreme weather events in 2019 including cycle only by one of the west tropical storms on record it has also suffered droughts rising temperatures and floods it's climate change is one of the main drive drivers on the continent their position has outlined a number of recommendations to try to read the worst. they wrecked out of the global framework for climate services with the world but your logic. i 1st asked them why such a report was important now. this report says it's particularly important now

because africa faces it can challenges in addressing climate variability and climate change risks including for example increased temperatures into level and changing patterns of precipitation but also the occurrence of extreme weather and climate events which have significant impacts on climate sensitive sectors such as agriculture or is asked risk reduction so in other terms each have their significant impacts on the overall social economic development of africa. africa is a continent which is mostly dependent on agriculture we each other. employs more than 60 percent of of the population and it's through a culture that most people get their their livelihoods they behavior of range as they are for significant impacts on the current and so it is critically important

that africa intends to adapt to climate variability intends to adapt to climate change africa has actually and uses the best available science coming from the court at least so sources but at some time in africa. and the ability of. building it sent capacity in order to increase climate term climate really. so this ought let's let's that's how my a bit more on a impact because that's what ordinary africans care about and what that europe wants by these are the major impacts of climate change. well it starts we have like to go back a little bit to 2019 where we had more than be compacted by a tropical site which was considered to be one of the most termed destructive

tropical cyclones ever recorded in the south instead it caused the death of more than 700 people widespread displacement and the city of data was totally paralyzed cervus see this and all the activities where they're totally disrupted the amount later the same country was and make the ones that are impacted by trucks cyclon kenya which was even stronger and tropical cyclon them into and so if these it's a pattern if that is that and as we move into the future we could expect more damage and therefore the need of. the continent to get organized when we look at the data it is an equivocal africa has been warming since 100001 the continent as warmed by more than 1 point one degree celsius relatives

the pre industry period the $21000.00 was the warmest ever recorded in the continent after 201026 states and their 5 the period 201520194 each of those areas and it was warmer than any prior to 2014. and when we look at the decade 201021000 these were the warmest decade on precourt in africa and one particular point about the could the k. the warming is the fact that each a decade has been consistently warmer and the previous decade and with those that warming you have the increase in heatwaves. but also they think region it in. you know drainage ok so we always don't want to spell doom for all 4 africans but moving forward what lessons can africans learn

from the reports to better manage the situation the lessons these. oh draw city kelly from the cage of mozambique troll africa to be able to deal effectively with climate extremes they have to fish to for use it's take that risk knowledge we have to understand the behavior or so. and their forward looking trends they have to improve their early warning system capability and actually observations by announcing forecasting capability they have to improve communication over actionable warnings which are understandable by those who have to take quickly and. they have to put in place a massive education campaign where people understand the risk they should get to the understand what is it that they need to do in order to. take action in order for him but most important most importantly as that and disaster in africa cannot

be dealt with independently they have to be dealt with with an integral approach integrated approach. the lucio of the world most are a logical organization now to nigeria where a judiciary inquiry has been set up to look into police brutality as well as the killing of peaceful demonstrators in lagos last week independent investigations into police abuses where he called demand of the protest as food of the streets a nationwide for more than 2 weeks peaceful protest against nigeria's special until robbery spark and violence last tuesday when witnesses and human rights groups said soldiers opened fire on protesters killing at least 12 the army denies its troops well that in the following days notice ransacked the government warehouses and authorities struggled to halt the rest. from on as our correspondents

find facade joins us from lagos nigeria and funny it's good to see you now the judicial panel begins their work today what can we expect from the. that's the question everyone is asking here what is to expect from this judicial panel that is currently sitting at the latest quarter trying to bring some light they promise into what happened here behind me at the lucky toll gate that horrendous night and tuesday almost a week ago you know it comes to the lagos state governor he says everybody should file their claims whatever they have seen what ever they a witness to this panel but that of course sounds like mockery to a lot of people who witnessed it or who are supporting the so called and source protest which began to bring an end to police brutality because they say the governor himself sad after the night when this happened that the forces who did this all beyond his control know if the forces are beyond his control what really

is to expect from this panel other than a farce other than a basically a form of peace meant that yes the governor here is trying to do something is trying to investigate but then again what about the results and yes that's the big question what is to come out of this judicial panel now that the judicial pano and now do you have it but is that enough to pacify the protesters. for lego stand it is a peaceful day today yes but when it comes to pacifying people pacifying to supporters of these demonstrations i have to say no you just have to look at social media the anger they had as broiling the the store also that they're expressing about what happened here at the lackey tollgate in the heart of the legacy of the commercial capital off nigeria when you look at that then no there is no way off the supporters of stepping back completely what they're doing right now is really organizing basically in trying to co-opt in that idea to either take to the streets

maybe again with some of channel politically their demands and be ready even for the elections in 2023 and even though they do not expect much to come out from this judicial panel. this still try to put up the pressure on social media and say come on the state government governor come on mr president just admit what happened that night that the military killed innocent people that they killed peaceful protesters here on tuesday night. now they are mostly coincident a scavenger vultures are very important in maintaining healthy systems don't be surprised it you know because by consuming garbage and rotting out a mole corpses they can keep the environment clean but unfortunately something is going on wrong conservationists say they are among the most vulnerable of africa's lots of vets and it's only getting worse after a state. in kenya. a week of vultures feasting on what may be their

last meal that's because increasing caucus is released with poison laid out by farmers to punish predators the biggest threat to walters is poisoning and that is not targeted at the vultures it's actually targeted at carnivores mostly lions. leopards as well because the carnivores are actually occasionally killing livestock god is part of the peregrine fund a u.s. based conservationist group raising awareness about the scavengers plight as well as encouraging have to predator proof their farms the group is training rangers on how to gather evidence of poisonings. with these heightened vigilance. we stand a better chance to on solve because then we act on what is reported on but we also know someone is not what's happening monitors see if the scarf of wildlife

poisonings continues unabated the barge won't be soaring for much longer. so when you get multiple poisoning incidences as we have where you're losing even just you know 102030 birds at an incident you know you're talking many generations many years before you're going to get those birds back action cannot come soon enough for the finely tuned system here and for nature's cleanup ex-pats . the morale of the story let's all protect ecosystem the best will be kept that's it for now be sure to check out stories on. all you can will check out on twitter so the next time it's by for now.

because we are just so busy and another choir said it's actually luxury to be sitting here talking because we're not used to actually pulling together we used to from another political system to be so. much more isolated. the. the same care the head of the guta institute in istanbul took on the job of organizing the quiet summit there was some cultural barriers to overcome. the to call it was very moving to see the choir from bosnia and the choir from serbia singing to one another many were moved to tears because many of the songs are basically the same

and that's very bonding and for the choir from cyprus it was hard travelling to istanbul it was emotionally challenging but the ice was broken very quickly here. the results of this musical journey of discovery were presented to the public for the 1st time in an installation in berlin that was supposed to be live singing but the coronavirus pandemic put a stop to that a huge disappointment the old for all still plans to go on tour to all 6 countries whenever that may be possible. and owed for all and i'm joined by my colleague adrian kennedy from our culture desk later and that's one beethoven year event that has managed to take place albeit a little differently than expected tell us what else is happening well as you say a lot of events have been canceled or hopefully i can just say. because the good news is that the celebrations have been extended now until september 2021 the
