creeps. shocking surprises for you edible definitely not to everyone's taste sara hardy has an unusual way of making money. on the menu today a human brain made of one chance. of a massive horrifying member when i didn't watch horror movies but always made creepy things and bits of bodies when i was a sculptor i went to school. and when i started making things. it's just natural to make the same things i. suspect the mint chocolate. chocolate and colors taken from fruit is all that's needed to produce a street. party used to model banks figures chocolate is much easier to work with a bit goes wrong just melted back into place and then of course. good taste

is of ultimate imports incidentally this much work to make a chocolate and. not care about what it tastes like but i keep it simple i choose 3 really good chocolates leaped up white ones and i work with those over an african. art chung but it isn't the only thing on the menu sarah hardy also begs cakes where you really wonder if edible like this. or a zombie can take away. the idea is that i will make something as horrible as what you might see on the walking dead but then we get to eat it. ok thank you is made up of several sections all banked and molded individually like this stomach made of cake. and then molds are to shape. when she paints it with food

coloring it looks increasingly realistic sarah hardy has learned everything by doing and never baked a cake until i was nearly 40 so i had to arrest people on my. but being a sculptor really helps because i can already see things in 3 dimensions and i know roughly how to make it in lots of different materials before ever mating cake and chocolate. she doesn't only get our inspiration from horror from a walk in the forest can also provide food for thought. about our attention. she then processor's our findings onto stickery perhaps they will soon be available in chocolate form. to really love the bio i just found. it's

a really nice shape that curve it's very sculptural never look perfect of chocolate . chocolate cake liver is ready to go sour hardy's daughter can get some major over she will form the upper part of the delish creation mass you can intestines ripped cajun white chocolate rounded off good enough to eat if you. wear their customer commissions a cake like this they definitely 8 it it's always feel like a party or birthday or something and their reactions are usually getting everyone to take photographs selfies with it never hang for a good few hours and they wait until very last minute for they need to. ok now it's time to perform the autopsy. i love that song because i would really like to have one for headaches birthday

social media to thank for their success in 2017 the 2 founding members posted their 1st video of a performance online. also i mean we stepped into a studio and started making our moves wouldn't want any kind of choreography where we'd be doing the same thing. we just wanted to have a connection between us and create moves and one thing led to another or we wanted to be poetic music black and white and on choreography and that's what we posted the next day we had over $1000000.00 hits rock you know soon enough to be expanded the trip to find members of. the young french dunces had met that so-called battles dancing duels in the hip hop scene. the follow up to the sacred show for devoted women to john's battles were used to getting a reaction immediately. to the value it's different. to

official photo couldn't happen expiry date so the dress couldn't follow a particular fashion could be but it needed to be very minimalist as it would later become part of belgian history the queen maxima of the netherlands seen here with britain's queen elizabeth also was familiar designs she buys her everyday clothes from him to. find at this range of condos very well. the more italian town. yellows and various different terms will go well with tweeted for example of a clue truly sweden's crown princess victoria has also paid for a 1000000 a visit he says she has a great sense of humor and of course he remembers what suits her. from this trans-am for sizers the way i can well imagine that on a young princess along with

a young woman when perestroika came and back then i was promised a whole new world a world with a functioning freedom of the press freedom of assembly and rights to sexual and gender self-determination the world that was promised to me then has nothing to do with the world today with 3 years of we see chess. the comex of the play is the death of michel garbage chops wife from cancer and the turning point of his career . the last chapter is called gorbachev and solitude the theater may be filled with enthusiastic applause but in real life things quickly became quite lonely around michelle you cover charge. and his dream of a better freer russia. it

big topic today is drug abuse they are also sold drugs alcohol prescription medication and even my wana most of these have become accepted and legal in different parts of the world other drugs remain illegal and folk would reason drug abuse has been linked to crime and addiction and habit or drug uses themselves and obvious to start off we've got a video message from. a graffitti artist from nairobi kenya he and his friends used to brighten up the walls of the neighborhood and highlight issues affecting them check it out. you. didn't use to. use.

the name of jesus and. the trick is to. believe that these. positive changes need to be. you can see more from an instagram page and you can always tell us which topics interest you by e-mailing us 7 to 7 at the w. dot com now to talk about the drug abuse i will be joined right now in the studio by someone who lost a lot about it she is that journalist and filmmaker. whose documentary about drug use was even nominated for an international emmy award this is why. investigative

journalist drona my company tonight. jiri an anti drug squad battling dealers of coding a highly addictive cough syrup my as work exposed pharmaceutical company selling the drug illegally and codings devastating affects the ensuing documentary resulted in nigeria banning the production of coding. welcome rona and congrats on your any i was the very life all of the feeling is amazing i mean money yeah because i have a tongue go up on my wall man every day i look at it and i say oh was that me. it's amazing that's all i'm going to 2nd describe it mike oh yeah now you know when on prescription drug abuse is very personal because your brother struggled with drug addiction housekeeping festival oh he's doing very well for a long time he's being totally clean. and he's doing so well that the my just be

wedding bells ringing in the family that is really really great news thank you and you said this in your documentary that if in one person changed or decided not to use called being after seeing this documentary you must you would have done your job yes you feel like you have done their job i think i have because i've had this whole deluge of press now e-mails to me. even more than 2 years after last week i had one of the e-mails i had was from a 40 year old who told me he was very he had watch my documentary and was piece to say that now he's free he said his addiction i 35 so that just goes to show that drug addiction current grip anybody young or old and regardless of social status your film street recording which was aired on b.b.c. led to the bomb of quittin production in nigeria vs on how well is that done what can. well survey honest mike i think it's

a mixed bag yes it did lead to the ban of production of cording and selling of coding it also meant that nigeria's food and drug agency was allowed to now return to the port after many years so they can immediately inspect a consignment of food and drugs however as we know we. drug addiction been a business sellers and addicts have moved on to or that drugs are opiates so while you may not see coding in the markets as much you've seen an uptick op rise in demand and supply of opiates like tramadol and this is now becoming the main problem how big of a problem is that it is such a big problem got. more than a quarter of all the tramadol seized in the world if you years ago was from africa we're seeing spikes in all sorts of social classes some people take it just really

question early markets women take it to just get by but this week we're back on a function taking up to 12 pills a day so it's becoming a problem interesting points there ana now from the abuse of cording to tramadol west africa is experiencing a drug crisis in 2017 west africa accounted for 77 percent of all tramadol seized worldwide in the following story right now takes us to liberia where we meet a drug peddler who makes a profit from selling tramadol. monrovia liberia the abuse of the painkiller tramadol is on the rise. officially the synthetic opioid is only imported in $50.00 to $100.00 milligram pills but criminal networks smuggle in tramadol tablets $3.00 to $5.00 times higher in dosage. those polls are then passed on to street vendors like henry kane the 19 year old makes

a profit every day. and i was and i used to sell electronic gadgets but then my business went down because of the corner pandemic so i started selling tramadol people who have nothing to do people who don't have jobs they all come to me to buy my pills. kane says he's tried the drug and knows its effects but he'll keep selling as long as there's a market. sometimes they take it myself because i want to know what it is like the feeling of it i take it and i like it i see why people come to me and buy a dividend i know example to people and it is illegal i've got nothing to do with the people that are coming to buy it or what it will do to them i just want my money to live. across town called the entire sees the effects of this cheap drug on addicted individuals his group visits neighborhoods and small teams to meet users today there in boston quarters

a slum community in monrovia. people we've talked to they've said that they abuse drugs because they don't have a job to do. so in this regard we recommend the government to create if you posit a building that in itself would help young people from being idle the library regulars or authorities should take a supervisor role. in observing all those promises 7 pharmaceutical drugs. in the meantime tyreese group tries to counsel drug users as best they can 2 across the border in the ivory coast tramadol is known as the poor man's cocaine young people use tramadol on a massive scale. he's of a construction worker started using tramadol 8 years ago. almost instrument all the mother. and you take it before going to work yes i always take it to go to work and how much did you buy it for 500 francs for 1. $500.00

francs equals about $75.00 euro cents if taken orally at high enough doses the opioid can produce a stimulating euphoric effect useful for long working days and to escape daily hardship. tramadol is sold legally in ivory coast it's not essential medicine used in hospitals and to treat chronic pain this pharmacist however suspects tramadol is often used for non-medical purposes. another visit. with some of those we see that some of those in prescribe more often and more and more young people come in asking for it recently the demand was really high or people realized that we wouldn't give it to them without a prescription so now they don't come in as often as you go. on a bus. most of west africa's tramadol is manufactured in labs in china and india it is then imported legally and illegally

to west african countries. tramadol sold on the black market can come in dangerously high doses and can also be laced with other substances about 2 years ago authorities in abidjan realized that they were facing a massive problem on them you didn't somebody in 2018 we seized more than 40 tons of from a dog and among what we see discovered some tramadol with dozens of 300 milligrams so we intensified our efforts and started tracking down people selling tramadol on the black market to live under the thumb of those new mushrooms but the epidemic hasn't stopped at blue cross clinic the number of young people who have experimented with tramadol worries doctors. addicts are often brought here by relatives who can't deal anymore with their aggression constant need for money or mood swings. the addiction comes very quickly some of those the type of drug that you can say hi to one day and the next day it has taken over the

rest of your life. long term consumption and highly concentrated tablets increase the risk of overdose and side effects like anxiety convulsions and trouble breathing but these arguments are not enough to stop using tramadol. party the 1st time it was out of curiosity but 1st time i tried i felt good so i thought it's a good thing and from then on i started using it i was feeling well feeling good about myself i was taking it almost every day almost all the time really the. financial pressure recreational use and eventually addiction pushed young west africans to wards the drug. trial model seems to be a very complicated drug on the one hand it's legal for the money went off pain but clearly based on the film we've seen their money which these people use it makes it

a problem what is for this increase in the use of tramadol so i think what mainly falls the increase in the use of tramadol is its very nature if you had to move think of it as a business if you had to move cough syrup you would have to handle bottles you would have to think of packing it so it doesn't break on the way this is liquid but when it comes to trauma it is in the night team foil packs it is in there all sorts of capsules i mean they're coming up with really creative ways to transport door just in september i think 2017 you had 3000000 tramadol pills in asia that were disguised in your. and logo boxes so the nature of from a door means it's come move very fast also you can easily and that's what has to be easy get manufacturers in asia to actually these guys tramadol in terms

of not just higher dosage but also to disguise the name so that they can in some way pass this of as normal drugs and in some of course the u.n. has said that a former extremist or members who have been arrested they have found a model in their possession rise a popular with extremist groups well from what we know it's a relaxant some users say they feel more relaxed and i think there was an interview with a suicide bomber who feel that the task and they were actually given the tramadol so that they would be more relaxed and be able to take on this very deadly mission . it's also being used among fighters as well those are documented and it's also actually noted as being sold as well by extremists to make money so as i say it's a business at the core of this is the business of addiction. and how is it within the sub region does business exist and yet regional bodies like eco us and national

governments cannot address this problem and i like to put blame on them but that's is the simplistic view. africa is traditionally by its very location the historic trade route and that this trade by board does by land by sea. countries are so close together that it's very easy for drugs to move through but also very hard for regulators to take control when you have a porous border people will always try to find their way to the onus of winning countries that are more on top of things we see drug use as well we see the rise in opiates for instance in the u.s. so i would like to borrow one of the words of one of the law enforcement brave law enforcement officers in kabul 9 geria and he said the war on drugs is never one when you win one battle you have to move to the next it's

a war and ongoing war now from young people using drugs assess kate we turn to someone who has taken a different route chris or but he left his hometown of worry in nigeria in search of a better life and ended up in italy where he uses the power of music to deal with the trauma of his journey. we know these are the. 3. big enough to be my almost every syrian friend confidently sing along to the italian folk songs to see the young nigerian migrant camp and from an almost accent freedom in the local dialect is a source of amazement for many like these. i was in the boskin i was just playing out on bum bum bum bum bum bum and they were like they were did they then you just did it to and they're like ok let's see if you like it. let's see if you can sing the song. and then when i come home and i remember 5

you came to me i like how did you learn this song do you know this song be spoonfed bossiness is that yeah yeah yeah you know the song i love the song. christopher gordy stage name crisco baby has become something of a celebrity in cecily and all of the telly had given the number but he said and i'm pretty young ok. greece was just 17 when he left his hometown insult the nigeria in such a better life and you look. just to show 2 we're stronger. we just need to love. each other but. simming was out with. cindy. from. where. my mom. soon be was.
