a political power play sicilian fisherman are repeatedly arrested and detained in libya. i no longer have a sense of the future when i look towards the sea he cannot see how i am afraid that my husband will not return. from. bangkok and afternoon and that sadder their violent coastal fishermen are hauling in their daily catch these are the few who won't risk venturing further out into the open sea local fishmongers are. already waiting they appreciate the fresh catch here in western sicily even though they are paying prices that are no longer profitable for most fisherman the only people still making real money are deep sea fisherman their crews are at sea for up to 2 months they fish primarily for red trend which are sold at

a profit all over the world the shellfish are sorted by size and then stored in deep freeze while they are still at sea. captain phillips is particularly proud of this catch. fish all these are the famous 1st class red shrimp. they don't get any bigger than this and this mediterranean delicacy is in high demand at the finest restaurants around the world. if it want it when times are good we can make 550 euros with 1st class red for a 12 kilo box. to be. that's $45.00 euros per kilo here on board walk. up to 100000 euros can be made from a good catch in return the crew risks a lot fishing grounds for red shrimp off the libyan coast are particularly

lucrative and they're actually international waters but the libyans have been claiming them as their own for years but incidents keep happening like this one during the summer of 28. the libyan coast guard wanted to stop the italian fisherman and arrest the crew now marco might own his crew has been caught in early september his 2 fishing trawlers were detained by the libyans the vessels owner is desperate 18 men has been detained in a benghazi prison for months no dispute within the dns has ever lasted this long so how can it just be about sovereign rights. it's horrible not being able to see the ships anymore. or the men who work with the call it's like having a missing son who you can't hug anymore what. a total of 9 italian fishing trawlers are involved in this clash with the libyans unlike some of the other

captains colona was able to save his ship barely. the libyans approached us they wanted to capture all of the trawlers captains along with their paperwork. as this couple who we risk our lives when we escaped because the coast guard is armed with they could have shot us. there with their words but. this is a photo of the fisherman taken into custody it appears to have been taken after they were arrested in benghazi not on the photo mohammad ben had died out mohammad is one of the 6 tinnies and crew members held by the libyans since he has been arrested by the libyans twice before his family has already feared for his life both times but this time uncertainty is wearing on the nerves of both his daughter now rests and mother money i.

am on the same thing that we were always in contact and knew how he was doing look at it with his phone always worked thinking that i will she think this time we haven't heard from him in months we don't know what's happening or if he's even still alive the. history i feel really exhausted. what we have i no longer have a sense of the future when i look towards the sea. now i'm afraid that my husband will not return. as difficult as it is in libya i just hope that he is in a safe place. media. at the port of metz out at mohammed starter meets with the families of other detained fisherman as much as she can together with the ship's owner marco they hold a small protest to comfort one another christina i believe no worries about her

husband salvo the 1st officer on one of the fishing trawlers in our city at our children are waiting for their fathers mothers for their sons and wives for their husbands. have a government must act swiftly lawyer. we are fighting for 18 italian fishermen which includes 6 tunisians for 2 senegalese and 2 indonesians who have all lived here and was out of there for many years some since before i was born. we are talking about 18 fishermen from us out of the lalo who pay their taxes and who have families here but with god it was $1.00 of the war. but the family still refused to give up and they're taking their cars to the capital rome they have been staging a protest in front of parliament for 2 months demanding more action from the

italian government and more protection for fishermen off the coast of libya. we risk getting arrested 74 nautical miles off the coast because libya considers the open sea to be sovereign waters europe and italy must step in to stop this because the sea does not belong to just one person or nation it belongs to all of us to this issue but i got a lot out of we never expected that my husband would leave home for work set sail and then end up in a libyan prison just become a life. in what's out of their value polo colona also understands what this means the red trim trader owns 2 fishing trawlers in 2009 his vessels were also seized by the libyans the. when you're in charge of 2 fishing trawlers the beach with

a crew of 7. men you've worked with for 25 or 30 years. and arrest like that really gets under your skin. just thinking about it today makes me feel awful. the incident off the coast of tripoli lasted for 3 days before the men were released. italy's then head of government silvio berlusconi negotiated directly with the late libyan strongman moammar gadhafi but it was the son that what the gadhafi claimed 74 nautical miles of open sea as his own personal territory if that's like my neighbor breaking through the wall and saying that my house belongs to him libya has created an international problem in the mediterranean which no italian government has ever tackled myer for. at least the italian navy used to patrol international

waters off the libyan coast until 2018 they also flew in by helicopter to assist italian fishermen when they were being harassed by libyans most of the time they speed boats then turned around and left the sicilians to continue fishing in the waters and then came the turning point 2 years ago rome withdrew from the southern mediterranean the only thing the fishermen were told the operation is too costly and politically complicated from that point on they fish at their own risk the reason behind it if the navy withdraws it won't be able to rescue distressed migrants at sea either more and more people who are attempting to reach europe by crossing the mediterranean sea there is still a dispute between european countries over their rescue and admittance not only is the right wing populist government in rome abandoning the refugees it is also compromising the security of its own fishing fleet the goal before but we need

their protection so that we can fish in international waters with them otherwise what happened to my ships crews will just happen again next time the market is allowed to lottie a security expert on the southern mediterranean cease fishermen as pawns in the libyan power struggle. this is a real kid. happening that is threatening a talian fishermen and their lives. this is an international power play that goes far beyond territorial waters or fishing grounds and who has access to them in the southern mediterranean. so this photo proves better lottie's point the arrested fishermen were forced to pose in front of a photo of general khalifa haftar the longstanding instigator of libya's civil war still controls benghazi but because he has fewer and fewer allies he has been excluded from recent peace negotiations that would affect the entire country

because this kidnapping could be a last ditch effort by the libyan general. his back's against the wall and he's trying to get himself back in the game once again with a dramatic stunt. so powell logia colona is convinced that it's not just about red shrimp and yet properly marketed the chris station could deliver peace on both sides of the mediterranean as long as the libyans can be convinced that a real deal can be made with the italians. the fight for fishing grounds over red shrimp could finally come to an end if both sides can profit from the sale of this cull unary delicacy or that will be the deal the quality here has been given to us by god with the sea that gives us delicacies that are valued around the world. this sea could feed italians and libyans just as it feeds the shrimps.

dreams of a joint venture where shrimp can also be packed in libya which could shorten the long transport routes in the mediterranean but it too because everyone would benefit we could finally fish and peace without fearing for our lives and the libyans would have us the italians as new investors we could build warehouses on their coasts and create new jobs but in order for this to happen peace must 1st prevail across the sea and libya and the fishermen of mazzara would need assurance of free passage. with all of them this way we can avoid more arrests. and stop more families from suffering. or if. despite the explosive situation nobody here and matt cited that evolve though i can't imagine life without red shred.

their patience is running out their rage is growing over a life without electricity. residents of you han a sport. like millions of other people in africa they often experience power outages the government is failing what causes them and what solutions are there. 77 percent. next on t.w. . plaintiveness your country. will make you rich may she just think the took hold of west coast of scotland and she's out so investors make promises but years later reality looks very different to. the drinking water shortage clint loyal to since.

the 45 minutes on d w. i'm not laughing at the germans because sometimes i am placed on nothing with the me but i haven't think deep into the german culture yet you did seem to take this drama to you it's all about who i am next time rachel join me comedic at the bungee jump post live. a low end a war welcome to a brand new edison of the 77 percent. my name is liz show and i'm honored to have your company today. coming up on this week's show where talking about electricity or the lack of it. we asked south africans why so many community you still have no access to power. which out to

gaming arcade and i would pose a meet the founder of this digital playground. and we find out why random women are taking classes to learn about sexual pleasure. but 1st do you know this sounds. that's right most of you are familiar with the sound of generators these machines are real lifesavers every time there's a power cut but they also proof that electricity supply in most african countries is unreliable we have traveled to nigeria to see how customers who are unhappy with their power company are seeking help. the hum of generators it's part of daily life in nigeria about 47 percent of the country's 200000000 people have no access to electricity those who have access 1st regular park at russian enough electricity and sudden disconnection if you are unable to pay the bills for. they

will be at their d.g. it means that even simple things like visiting one's barber come at a high cost. but for now. in the we cannot let it go. up in the air that are through to go. and the reason is because there's no light through a tiny fringe and get busy and then i got to make up. some sabine better morsi has been at the day just barber for 10 years he says the electricity challenges mean he has no savings i don't know me who is a former banker fallen tears with. an electricity consumer rights n.-g. or. the traumatic experience. i didn't. get. one of the biggest problems for consumers he says is that there's a shortage of people meters which means that park companies send estimated bills

which consumers come to cross-check. they don't know what the are right i mean they don't understand the procedure to engage them just. because it does get. less website has a 1000 subscribers including officials from park on pinney's and the electricity commission mini-cons us right in seeking advice where he can and that if you speak to them directly and listens to your complaints many of. you know your commute home and you're like oh my god i don't know what's next in my request. or you know. oh i you know i enjoy. that a reliable pass apply is something everyone should have access to because sometimes it's more than the cost of a haircut but a matter of life or death so very. kind of marred the loss of the baby because there was no light and it could not be. so those things are. very basic.

and like it's something that millions of nigerians hope one day be able to have i think it's really sad that we africans are so used to power caps that we accept them as normal and we asked you our viewers how this is affecting you in your daily life let me read some common c.m. hills direly says you remind going to hands of our plight from 2015 till 2018 we had frequent power cuts which we named saw literally flip on flip off they're actually there as she says we have no light in cameroon it has become a normal thing. well we wanted to know more about the causes of this problem and so we sent our very own christine mon back to south africa and here she is with us rick abate from soweto johannesburg.

this 77 percent is in seoul which so now around the world $800000000.00 plus people do not have access to electricity 3 quarters of those people in africa so i'm joined by my panel today on this today st debates to discuss how we can bridge that gap and having everybody have access to electricity so i'm going to start with my 1st panelists here cheerful much just lay out the scene for us right so this is south africa just lay out the electricity supply issue. electricity distribution in south africa is currently monopolized by a one state owned entity called eskom and they're very in for a structure that spans across the country and with that infrastructure they voyant on to connect over 90 percent of the south african population on to the grid now this is a fundamental shift from the connection or their rate of electrification pride the dispensation of democracy in 1904 where we only had 50 percent of the population

connected to this very human guys face us in prison stripes the last 25 absolutely i do want to come see you right because the electricity situation we opened the discussion and we talked about the fact that majority of this country is electrified right 90 percent now the 10 percent of people who don't have electricity most of them happen to be in rural areas why all rural communities ostracize when it comes to the supply of cars a very vast continent with a local pollution density in certain areas ok so here in south africa the people are trying to reach what not electrified it's difficult to reach them with all existing solution which is the utility grid which means that we need to start focusing on new technologies and innovation solutions from africa for africa they can address these. pacific problems ok the problem with having international ekta is coming to africa and relying on them because they lack local insight that's why we need our local people who understand the situation better than anyone else we living in it to come forward with solutions ok so let's leave that day but i want

to come over to see you at good rufus because you are of the view that electricity nobody should have to pay for that explain that so us obviously right now with the status quo as it is right our government is failing right for you to have electricity you've got to have big pockets for it does help us understand just how crippling it can be when people don't have to see we're talking about something that the united nations has defined as a basic human right. ok it affects. your cooking. it affects how you want in the morning it affects your health basically law in short enough for the human dignity ok to see you wanted to come in. so i wanted to touch on the health aspect as picked that rufus spoke about because you know there are some places where by without electricity the sanitation doesn't work so it's just

show it just goes to show that this whole issue of electricity and overlaps into other areas that we also need to take into account we happened to be in a community here and so it's a way that the government doesn't supply electricity people but people have gone on to have made what could illegal connections just explain to us well how dangerous are these illegal connections they're extremely dangerous because ease sometimes way by the cable will be laid across the road and it's exposed and there was a community called great whereby we had cables live cables hanging across. the actual school where by kids actually were there and attended classes and it wasn't safe and it is next to their play area where they actually play so it is very vague. dangers for them ok i saw you wanted to come in there we're going to have to keep training about things that the most important thing is that we need to learn how to train africans like you said you create solutions for africa so i think that the best way to really speed it up is to encourage

a culture where we support our youth we train them up we develop them up we encourage them to be very creative and most importantly stay in africa and help africa because i think the biggest problem is we've got all our talent fleeing only you know oh right ok i'll come over and then i'm coming back raise yeah i just wanted to quickly make a point about like leap frog and we've already seen africa like leap frog in terms of like technological infrastructure there weren't many like fixed telephone lines in africa but we saw africa really come through and you know take up telephones you know and phones have been like a key way for africans to stay connected so that is possible and you know the financial cost doesn't have to fall on individuals but that if we were to allow communities to collectively you know own. energy generation sources we can effectively transition away from fossil fuels. the proof is so huge

you're passionate about this you're an activist community are you convinced about what you hearing and is this something that you would for example take into your community and convince people about look there's one thing that keeps ringing in my head affordability affordability affordability that is my that is my biggest concern but. yes like i mentioned initial investment is a big concern for me if you walk into. example just behind me and right as soon as you start talking money. that becomes a bit of a concern right theoretically. i see it working right track tickly like he's been mentioned that education. but education is very key and it has to start from like you said from school ok one of the things that rufus talked about it is affordability but help us understand the urgency off this right it's not

a nice to have do we want so what do we want to use fossil fuels help us understand as we as we close this discussion taking on everything you've heard i think the arguments have already been made because the costs of renewable energy has plummeted in recent years it is it's a no brainer honestly for governments to actually scale up and renewable energy investments and really not to go for fossil fuel based energy generation the point i'm trying to make your is that our economies are going to be decimated if we don't act soon and ok so with those with soon if this is where we end today st debate but of course this discussion doesn't entail we're so interested to know what you think about what you've heard today and perhaps how it applies to the country that you know and this is the street debate insulation it's been good having your company but i. thank you so much christine and everyone who took part in that debate if you want to see

a longer version you can check it out on you tube and while you're there be sure to subscribe to our channel a stable power supply is crucial especially now in this digital age where med's of video game fans in ivory coast's a power cut is the last thing they need. every afternoon this video arcade in a working class district is packed with young people coming to unbind after school . 35 year old. is the founder of the digital playground his passion for video games began when he was a child. you know i think i was around 4 or 5 years old when i started at 1st we were just watching all the big brothers play so that's how i started by watching it then as i grew older. i played more i played a lot of university. days he has turned his passion into a profession and he has his fingers firmly on the pulse of the gaming sector competitive video gaming also known as the sport. video gaming is rapidly growing

in popularity not just in ivory coast but all over africa. in less than 10 years it went from being purely a hobby to being at the center of international competitions with big prizes up for grabs. i keep thinking you competitive video gaming is starting to become a thing here the mindset has to change because video gaming is now an international industry the important thing about e-sports is that it has the capacity to attract huge audiences who come and watch a bit like other sports today some games can attract the millions of people who connect online just to be able to watch others play but what. is the average salary of pro gamers around the world can range from $1000.00 to $5000.00 per month. the best of the best make even more. participating in a top sports world championship shared at $34000000.00 prize pool. in an industry

that is gradually providing more jobs african players are dreaming big. boys and i want to take it to the next level just play to have to be the best country the best must play again and again. here he can test his skills and compete with other games around the world. globally the gaming industry has doubled in size in the past decade generated over $120000000000.00 in revenue last year alone. see dick wants to build the biggest gaming community in africa he networked with local startups to help them identify their needs and promote their ideas on the local market. if you will. we're starting to see a number of local studios working in the gaming sector the main goal for them is to create content that reflects a continent. from games like straw for some semblance which were made in south

africa or the action role playing game already and from coming of them were huge successes for now the market is still small thanks to game enthusiastic like siddique this could soon change his message is clear africa has entered the game. so how is it going in your relationship right now our sex and relationship expert kaz thinks the colbert 900 pandemic has put a lot of stress on relationships couples are fighting there's no more sex because one partner is depressed or has lost their job like you leaving the cat as has some advice. i've seen as quick as i could from because crazy what is it what's going on what's happening talk to me. we honestly can't take it anymore josh is driving me crazy the. details what's happening point you know we've been together for like almost

a year. and everything was going great but once a lockdown started things just started to change with him especially after he lost is. sounds like you grieving i don't know i can't imagine what he's going through is easy but i think what you think if he was using i've tried and tried to make him comfortable about the situation i'm still it will to cover the bill but i just don't get it he's become so disturbed he sits in front of the t.v. all day we haven't had sex and not. i just don't want to have you tried having an open conversation with him i can't really get him to tell me why didn't help but when you were dr bob there. was no top one but also quite calm and i mean i think josh might be depressed. maybe up. form of intervention might get someone professionally preferably come to use it have a conversation between the 2 view you know because your some men struggle to open up because they think it makes them look we can we have the patriarchy to thank for

that maybe he feels like he can no longer act as the provider which also traditionally is expected of men. but he needs to learn that he still is that given time and opportunity to heal i think that's the best you can do but what if nothing changes oh or if you refuse to listen then it's on you you have to decide if it's the kind of environment you want to foster relationship is going to happen next time things go tough you need to take care of your own mental health too. i suppose that makes. but what about the next the high rate in the. early after my rapist is totally normal when you have your suspect dr with your suffering from depression believe me but we're patient with him you know but in the meantime you can meet your own needs ok ok ok that makes that ok enough about me how about you that when you do really oh i'm going late.

oh. hey everyone hope you enjoyed that little skit if you have any questions concerning sex and relationships please don't forget to write in to the 77 percent til next time from the cast goodbye. and we're not done talking about sex. i know it's a subject that is still much of it and i don't remember ever talking to my parents about it now in several african countries women are taught how to delegate their labor it's supposed to make sex enjoy not just for the men but for the woman as well in rwanda we met one woman who was an expert in the traditional and controversial practice of. on the streets of kigali you wouldn't expect to hear the words clearest. but you would if you follow the. you tube channel that doesn't shy away from to produce relating to sex or the female body. expertise

is. the traditional practice of elongating a woman's live yeah. but for so many people are calling me with the break quest to talk about because there is a lot they need to learn i'm here to help young girls with various problems how to use it can look in the hope. that. things problems in the bedroom sexual frustration and divorce playgroup wonders modern urban society because mothers and aunties no longer have the time to teach their daughters traditional values so she's taking matters into her own hands. she runs workshops for young women and girls who each pay $150.00 euros over a period of $4.00 to $6.00 weeks in small groups the women learn how to massage and pull their. opinion of the proportional measure for the lavi a menorah is your finger both lavey

a menorah ought to be this length you see. the movie you do you pull the lady a one by one or do you pull both at the same time. for these women it's about male and female pleasure and most importantly about female ejaculate. which in both stimulating the quitter as something men are traditionally. told to do. a man must know how to move his palace upwards like this on this clip so that the water starts flowing making the vijaya now wait a. minute. there is no scientific evidence that stretching the libya actually enhances female pleasure but many people here believe that still. has its critics many young people argue that a practice which. should be her choice not because her husband or society expects

it. i think it's a good thing but again. if my wife or if my girlfriend wants to do it if it doesn't have any bad influence on her health i support it but personally. i don't mind with or without. many of the t.v. students come here to prepare for an upcoming marriage some admit it was their husband's wish but whatever the young woman's motivation is that he has no trouble filling her classes and her students appear eager to learn. always wanted to visit. and it's a shame that i've never done bad given that i grew up in neighboring tanzania well for those of you like me who have never been to one best some here is a tour of the city by someone who knows very well.
