this is the w. news live from berlin twitter logs trungpa out the social media platform announces it is permanently suspending the u.s. presidents account juge the risk of further violence perhaps as congress makes moves to try to bring on her early end to donald trump's term in office also coming up on the show german authorities are under fire over the slow pace of their coronavirus vaccination program as the country records its highest one day's covidien death toll. also on the show sunday the sand and sangria but snow

spain death and heavy blanket of the white stuff as a storm philomena leaves the capital madrid looking like old winter wonderland but it also creates a travel chaos. hello i'm claire richardson welcome to the show we begin in the united states where president elect joe biden has welcomed news that donald trump will not be attending his presidential inauguration on january 20th speaking to reporters on friday biden said trump's decision was quote one of the few things he and i have ever agreed on meanwhile twitter has announced it is permanently suspending trump's account saying he repeatedly violated policies on glorifying the violence. the u.s. is still coming to terms with this week's events and what they might need for

american democracy we have this report from washington. quiet after the storm life seems to gone back to normal in washington d.c. off to trump supporters stormed the capital but the events have left their mark. i was appalled just gusted angry i'm a military veteran and i never thought i'd see this in the u.s. so what is to stop them from bringing guns into d.c. and shooting people because in all that often myth of detectives on the highways come in and hear the a conduit or they have shown themselves capable of doing the events of this week have everybody in the city a little bit worried and i've been walking around and seeing still a lot of. supporters hanging around so it makes me a little nervous that there are a lot of people staying many americans are still shaken by the images of white nationalists and confederate sympathizers running or all around the halls of the

capitol these images will never be forgotten and people wonder whether this could happen again the far right corner of the internet have shared their interests in continuing these types of acts and one has to wonder if the u.s. is really prepared to face this again despite from the take on the democratic system joe biden and come of the errors will stand right here on generate 20 s and take the oath of office and become the leader of the united states'. security has been ramped up for the inauguration even the national guard is mobilized the whole city is on high alert it is time for the u.s. to move forward the question is in which direction. a few blocks away leg lives matter activists are still. hoping for a better tour of the events not just hope everybody come with

a common ground and get together and make the world like piece of america people 1st because we're looking weak to everybody else because it will run into anybody who wanted in. in the meantime washington just wants to get back to normal. and our reporter donna joins me now in the studio for more washington it may want to get back to normal but democrats are looking at a possible impeachment of a donald trump could they really make it happen in such a short period of time yes kyra let me start by saying that house speaker nancy pelosi has previous to this try to add republicans to act themselves by asking president on all trump to resign and then asking vice president mike pence mcalpin if they would invoke the 25th amendment meaning that trump is unfit for office but it's unlikely either of these things are going to happen white house advisers have said there is no way that trump is going to resign and it's not looking like mike

pence is going to invoke the 25th amendment either which means that them a cuts are likely to go ahead with. impeachment on monday so they're looking to impeach him on the charge him on incitement of insurrection now the last time he was impeached there was you will remember in length the inquiry into this in 2019 this isn't going to happen this time not only do they not have time but many of congress people were actually witness to the events that happened they sold the violence on the 6th of january so there is no need congress people say for this kind of inquiry again let's just the thing is and you know he's got less than 2 weeks left in office before the biden ministration takes over and as you say it's unlikely that they're going to be able to actually push through an impeachment if they do decide to go that route so why are democrats even bothering with this at

all well congress can so the house can impeach him and they're thinking that they'll be able to do this. midweek but the senate is likely to stall so senate leader mitch mcconnell has already kind of indicated that he'll probably stall the soule so they won't be able to have a trial and they won't be able to get about 2 thirds majority vote that they need to actually remove term from office before inauguration day so that's not going to happen so why are they doing this they all this several reasons so 1st of all a lot of people democrats in particular but also some republicans have said that he needs to take consequences for the actions he needs to be accountable for what happened but also are there are indications that this could also stop him from running for a future office in 2024 for example some republicans say this whole impeachment process is just encouraging divisions at such a divisive time anyway biden's kind of just defer to congressman and this is well

and has refused to sort of comment on the impeachment proceedings and whether or not they should go ahead but there are definitely people making a very strong case for the. pietschmann to go ahead and you're absolutely right you could be impeached without actually leaving office but just the process of doing that or it could make him the 1st president ever to be impeached twice in american history let's talk about something else has come up today social media platforms have been taking action against the president can you tell us about that yes. he is now banned from twitter the. personal account he's been tweeting from is now permanently suspended twitter said on friday he got limited access to the protests official us president account today claiming that twitter was silence in him before twitter quickly removed saying that this is an infringement on his suspension and other social media platforms have also done similar things facebook

has banned him yes they are ready on thursday and google has also said it's the spending paula so this is another social media platform that it's now taken off with. its app store because it says that it wasn't moderating comments that were inciting violence apple has threatened to do the same with the paula app if it doesn't get moderating for its content soon all right plenty to unpick there with the social media giants and what they're how they're handling the u.s. president donna thank you so much for coming into the studio. let's turn our attention to the corona virus pandemic now with this round up of some of the day's developments well the united states has set a nother daily record for new infections with almost a 300000 new cases and more than $3600.00 deaths reported on friday authorities in china meanwhile have confirmed their vaccine shots will be

provided free of cost to individuals when mass vaccination is rolled out this after some a local governments charged essential workers who were 1st to be immunized and a new study published in the lancet medical journal says most people hospitalized with corona virus still have symptoms after 6 months the most common ones are fatigue and muscle weakness but also sleeping difficulties the following criticism here in germany of the pace of the coronavirus vaccination rollout health ministry official has revealed about berlin has struck a preliminary deal for an extra 50000000 of vaccine doses in the summer that's outside what's been negotiated by the e.u. and the need is clearly urgent nearly 1200 people died from cope at 19 in germany over the past 24 hours alone another new record now some predictions in a german media say if the pace of inoculation continues as it is now herd immunity

would not be reached until 2027 for a quick temperature check and then the shipment is good to go. here in eastern germany more doses of pfizer bio intakes coronavirus vaccine are arriving by the day there are some of the 600000 doses that are reaching vaccination centers throughout the country on friday. but that hasn't silence critics of the german government's handling of the vaccine rollout too little vaccine confusing registration processes and a slow vaccination timetable the list of complaints is long. but the german government is standing by its program and at this vaccination center in western germany recipients say the wait was worth it. for me it's like winning the lottery my children didn't allow me to leave their homes so i had to stay at home all the time. so it's great being among the 1st ones to get the shot either for goodness.

because despite the bumpy rollout there could be some relief in sight with a deal in to secure millions of new doses of vaccine and the possible approval of a 3rd vaccine by months and the e.u. is taking steps it hopes will silence the critics of its vaccine rollout. and let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world thousands of catholics in the philippines defied calls to stay home on saturday there's head of mass for a statue of jesus believed to have miraculous healing powers most of the pilgrims stuck to social distancing roles in contrast to the normal frenzied procession of thousands risking life and limb to touch the icon. of north korean leader kim jong un is threatening to build it with more nuclear weapons he said the u.s. is north korea's a biggest enemy and that pyongyang relationship with the united states depends on whether it abandons its hostile policies the threat presents a tough challenge for the incoming biden administration. an avalanche hit

a ski resort in the siberian a city of norilsk the russian emergency ministry says 5 tourist cabins were varied with people inside more than 200 volunteers are searching for survivors already have not yet confirmed how many people are trapped. now in most people's minds spain is associated with sun sea and sand floats quite nice but a powerful winter storm dubbed filomena is causing chaos on the streets of madrid with the heaviest snow the capital has seen in many years. it wasn't just the pandemic that grounded planes at madrid's main airport this weekend heavy snow in the normally sun drenched banished capital meant no one was going anywhere corentin or no quarantine the madrid region has been placed on red alert the highest of 3 levels and was expected to see up to 20 centimeters of fresh snow in 24 hours

that's unusual for madrid and storm filomena could leave behind the biggest snow fall in decades so when they have to buy a pair of boots especially i had nothing it doesn't snow much in madrid so i think we're not very prepared for those strollers might not be well prepared for the weather but this mid-range musher was more than ready for the arctic conditions. at the moment as late as friday night game notched up a surprise a 32 when against the legal leaders byron munich and they had to battle from behind to do it by back seem to be making a habit of being inhospitable hosts when byron paid them a visit. the last time byron munich came to brucia park over a year ago it was glad who ran out victorious. when florian noite house handled the ball in the box robert live and dosti converted the ensuing penalty to give byner in the lead after 20 minutes. and then

a great solo effort from lay on gorecki doubled by inch lead just 6 minutes later and it looked like the visitors were cruising to victory. but wait on us hoffman pulled one back for a blood buck 10 minutes after that mon cooley slotting it in past manuel neuer and just before half time both man found himself one on one against neuer again and once again he won that battle 2 all at the interval. and soon after the restart going house made up for his earlier handball by putting blood in front of what a shot from the young german international to seal a 32 win. once again stand by him back to munich empty handed. and before we go a reminder of the top story we're following for you twitter at last the trump palace the social media platform announces it is permanently suspending the u.s. president's account of the risk of further violence as congress makes moves to try

to bring an early end of donald trump's term in office. said he. biting and. that's all for me for now stay tuned for world stories looking back at some of our best parts of the week and play richardson in berlin for me the entire team such watching. it's about billions. it's about our power. it's about the foundation of the new world order the silk road. china wants to expand its influence with this trade network also in europe. china is

promising its partners rich. but in europe there's a sharp morning whoever accept money from the new superpower will become dependent on it china's gateway to europe. starts feb 19th on d w. this week on the world stories of devastating smog in kurdistan. gymnast's sound the alarm on abuse in germany. but we begin in china things have returned to normal and will haunt from which coronavirus originates and the city is celebrating its success. it is almost as if nothing had ever

happened here life is back to normal in the city where the coronavirus 1st emerged china has brought infection rates down to almost 0 in an exuberant exhibition the communist party celebrates victory in what it calls its war on the epidemic with tributes to soldiers and medics who work themselves with sourcing during the outbreak but 1st and foremost the party celebrates self and the general secretary she jinping was hailed as the man who led the country to victory. john high is one of them he is on his way to the municipal. gov. but isn't this the people's government taking pictures is not allowed. to large a country by music i think they should change their name from the people's government of war to the bureaucrats government of mohan. john hi

normally lives in this southern city option but returned home to 100 in january when his father broke his hip good early man received free treatment at a military hospital this was where he caught cold it and later died. john high says his father would still be alive if the authorities in one hand had not covered up the early stages of the outbreak he is trying to file a case in court against the government. i've been very upset since i came back to work. he uses that i'm sad and angry at the same time. that's my current state of mind and. for that i can't stand all this propaganda about the achievements in the fight against cove it was just out of all the people who died the innocent people who left this world have never been paid proper respect. but few people still speak publicly about their grievances many others

appear to have put the experience behind them night life is back on the streets especially young people enjoy their newly returned free there's many places in the words to struggle with the pen dam in the city where it all 'd began is moving on. in international air pollution rankings chinese cities are normally ranked the worst but recently the title has belonged to the curtis capital of bishkek. coal is selling like hot cakes in the freezing cold winter temperatures in the city of bishkek average at minus 6 degrees celsius call is an essential good because homes on the outskirts aren't connected to the city's central heating network.

bishkek made headlines several times in december for being the number one most polluted city in international air quality ratings but people here say the smog is a problem every year in the winter the news just. like this when you leave the city the sky is clear but. i think this is because of the negligence of the government no one is monitoring the situation and the smog is a direct consequence of that the most. lies in a valley and smog covers it like a lid kid it is authorities admit they don't know the exact source of the pollution the country's prime minister recently said this mainly coal powered heating plant could be behind up to 20 percent of the emissions he ordered the government to look into switching to gas. for now though air quality sensors in the city show the air is hazardous to people's health the concentration of cancerous particles is several times higher than the norm and. environmental activists feel authorities are all

talk and no action they're protesting against the city's latest planning document they say new buildings are blocking the wind unlocking the smog inside the city. the plan is only in the interest of the construction lobby the building companies and big all of dark so you can use though. in other countries they would have declared an emergency situation by now but here they just pretend nothing's happening. but for now local environmental inspectors are stuck in forcing existing norms today they're checking the quality of the coal used to heat the boiler at this local school even many government institutions are still heated with coal. regular people will keep eating with call because this is the most cost effective we can't ban the use of coal in the winter people have to live they have to cook.

was everyone has access to a gas connection and to an affordable electricity supply there simply won't be smog here anymore. but kyrgyzstan's gas provider raised prices this year and the coronavirus has hit the country's cash strapped economy hard so for now to move away from coal and from this layer of smaug fields far off . some young gymnast's in germany have been subjected to intimidation humiliation and painful training from their coaches 2 of them share their stories with d.w. . naomi and ruby vandyke learning to love gymnastics all over again for many years their love for the sport hatch disappeared. aged 10 and primed for big things

between this move to an elite training center near cologne but when their performances dips they say they were called fat and lazy by their coach that's slim's the fact is the worst thing was when he said he wouldn't come to competitions with us because we were embarrassing him when you're 14 or 15 you need a coach he supports you no matter how badly the statement one on one occasion injuring a boss exercise naomi said she was purposely dropped on her heritage to teach her a lesson before i had he pushed me 2 or 3 times to go down lower but i knew he wasn't holding me properly that's why i didn't go lower and then i did under pressure but he let go of me and said there you see. mr. they complained to the local gymnastics association but say they weren't taken seriously or believed and makes a field day with the problem with devastating affects on their development. at the

time naomi and repeat were given 3 options either put up with the coach quit the sport or as they ended up doing move to the olympic training center in pemex earlier this month problems. there were uncovered by dish biegel magazine a dozen other gymnasts accused the head coaching chemists gabrielle a fraser of bullying them and making them train through injury naomi and revie say pain killers and injections were handed out freely without prescriptions and without the knowledge of athlete's parents but the twins felt they couldn't speak up because of the baggage they come with. through b. that acceptance came at a price and she was forced to ignore her constant back pain with one coach telling her it was just pretty competition of. names and she would often tell me i was imagining the pain in my back but i didn't know the difference between so muscles and real pain that went on for a year and a half and at some point i believed i was imagining it that's. not it and i don't

know if it wasn't her imagination though ruby having been denied access to her mit scans would eventually need an operation. fraser who's been suspended pending an investigation has called all the allegations baseless and says she never overstepped the mark it was her strong denials that prompted naomi and ruby to tell their story. these days the twins only compete in the national the no longer dreaming of international success but at least now they can perform again with a smile on their faces. long commutes to school or a huge problem for many children in south africa. and in geo wants to change that.

is it a child who starts the day with a very long walk to school there's no public transport around her children often a rifle late to school or just don't go she goes to include primary school the deputy principal says a number of issues need to be addressed. it is a problem of late coming as it is often does and that is the issue that driving and then that is girls walking one the road they have this program of crime nor the countries of africa very i hate that program or. a few kilometers away is the base of an ngo that wants to solve the transportation problem for poor local children not iraq's most i am dumb ass i'm game and some are part of the team of sweet bike their own loading 400 and 72nd hand bikes recently delivered from switzerland they'll go to kids at various schools here in the area around margate 140 kilometers south of to happen so basically when

a new concern arrives it's very i feel like a small child who has a bottle opener like a park and if this is a change that can turn into the country death or feeling that i did when you know the vertical. sweet bike got going last year and has already provided more than $1500.00 bicycles to schools each one 1st has to be assembled and tested at the sweet bike workshop the project depends on donations. depending on how much money comes in something and the team buy an import up to several containers full each year. the workshop has 5 trainee mechanics nadia us most is in charge here together they process about 40 bikes a day vocational training is another core element of sweet bikes mission. the aim is to end hot skills and create jobs and new opportunities and bicycle

assembly path and distribution the idea is at the end of the year to equip them we have enough skills so they can either open their own workshop or be placed in a job that you can see in the field these spikes are for in kulu primary school. progress is slow on the unpaved road. the children are excited about the bikes. especially as a child. for her it had been a long wait. balancing on 2 wheels takes a little parked but to see who is keen to learn and would like nothing more than to cycle to school in the very next day.

water is the source of life but too much water can be deadly unlike berlingo in kenya that's exactly what's happening i grew up in my past 20 years of life plus 20 a little my big. water levels are continuously rising to deforestation and climate change. can an environmental catastrophe and still be stopped 77 percent. of. motor sport is it still a man. no way. to compete in research. and their winning. hour as motor sport expert consensus the fastest female race car driver in a long time ok let's stop right. now to 60 minutes to look at. what secrets lie behind while.

discover new adventures in 360 degree. and explore fascinating world heritage sites. doubling world heritage 316 get kidnapped now. hello and welcome to the 77 percent my name is edith q money and this week we have such a special edition on last show where we're talking about how. the youth are being affected by the changes in our environment coming to you from the scenic bulgaria national reserve right here in kenya. coming up on the show. we hear from. a young activist from uganda has joined the global climate. to find out how almost like a meeting kenya is adapting to climate change i mean we go we meet young people on

the beach and what they're up to might surprise you. we're here as i mentioned at least will gori which is a salt water lake in kenya as part of the east african rift valley scientists however warning that an ecological catastrophe is imminent if the water levels here continue to rise as we speak the lakes in this area at the highest level since kenya's independence in 1063 the water levels have been rising here for years but extreme weather patterns and usually heavy rains and human activities have made the situation even more dire for the people living here so i spent some time in the area and spoke to residents who explain how their lives have been affected by climate anomalies like bulgaria so swollen from rising water levels at the shoreline changes every day. we see this early on in our trip when the access road unexpectedly becomes part of the league. has

just arrived to open her restaurant. it has been dramatic. these water this water just came in with a new one so it came slowly and slowly until it got to this level so without any notice you have to demolish within just a few seconds. china gets has already been forced to move her business once it's inevitable that she will have to move again and she's not the only one the structure we're looking at is an entry point that was erected by the kenya wildlife service after their original gates was submerged by water 800 took 3 months before the lake eventually caught up with this one and we can clearly see that this water is unrelenting what we can't see but we can certainly smell is the similar rage that's also being brought to be this because obviously people here use trains and all their contents are now under water and the water is clearly unrelenting because all around us the ground a soggy and these little all over the place the extent of the flooding can be seen

clearly from neighboring liquoring go the freshwater lake has expanded by 60 percent in the last 70 years this year has been by far the worst. folks out to a guy grew up on the shores of this league work has been scarce most of the hotels are now underwater. believe just one of many flooded homes in the area. near the scene. significant for folks. my 1st 20 years of life. don't know what i'm going to. be here on top. scientists have called ecological catastrophe good waiting

around the great rift valley region have been rising dramatically and what you can see behind me is actually one of the effects. hotels hospitals and schools all drowned by these disasters some say that it could be tectonic shifts under us which are causing this most people argue that this is actually an effect of climate change. scientists a warning that fresh water and salt. could manage the cross contamination would destroy the balance in the ecosystem. to understand what is happening to the lakes we head to the forest. to the rivers that feed the lakes in the rift valley forest is recovering from his. david has been a conservationist for more than 50 years he says the destruction of the catchment areas is just one in a series of linked problems the pastoral people are settling down in place so what

that means is every single day you have heavy grazing is really prominent around the basin up in the hills on the side so all of a roof has been washed off. so in 2018 we had rainfall which was the equivalent. then followed last year by these extraordinary rains which have continued for a whole year so that means that. huge amount of runoff and siltation and it's the combination of those 2 that have made the rift valley lakes and even other areas like amber sally just lift 10 sometimes 15 meters. back in the glorious storm bring. the ocean. is visibly worried and soon her worst fears are realized the want to level has gone up again this could be her lasting. it's the following day and construction

has started on higher ground this is where china gets newcomen business when. it's a fresh and easy start no one can be sure the work to which right this high because no one believes the water would ever get as far as it already has. all right so we've heard from people here how the rising water levels have affected them and with me is mr head he's actually a farmer it's his father used to be at least just a couple of metres from where we are and i wanted to find out from you mr. how has your life changed since the water started coming into your life actually. we have been having a problem just lots of quite a long time since the beginning of this year alone this what i started from. this place how far was the lake or originally before then. in fact

from where we're sitting where we are standing. on a school we just didn't just pull it up while we were. just left. a world where you're standing. so we have internally displaced persons within. this supplication because of these water levels but also your harvest you told me that you very quickly had to go into the water and get your maize when the water was up to here what are you doing about your life you could i mean that was your harvest we just try to. very small number because of the we have a. being a bit of bread to the threatening to pull not even to. the. try to get. people just we have to this what that is with

a lot of. so you homes your means of life but i can see that there is a gentleman here who is fishing is this now what you're doing because you started off as pastoralist then the weather was bad there was drought he's decided you want to become a farmer and now you're becoming fisherman you see. community we used to be possible just but because no we are like we fish that is a little fishy and what's in there is also well and mold. crocodiles but because of drought. people are a lot of. problems and don't our food shelter but the only thing you can get now is these things this is a fish so people are slow to fishing but not all of them some very few different ones who will do the like you are doing fishing but because of poverty you're forced to change your way of life ok and finally you talked about hippos and

crocodiles is this something that you're having to deal with human wildlife conflict how close to the hippos gets and the crocodiles. so in this water as we speak these people as it is a lot of people's there is a lot of grace all along here. very much threat that people live in or in fact a lot of. people not to come close very close to the socialists or sort of things like this one because those animals are very. very much. not normally come out of. the time like this one so there is a big problem there so while you month or life conflict. well mr henry let her you know we really thank you for your time and i'm really sorry for what is happening here thank you. now while people here are trying to come to terms with the changes happening here many of us are adapting our lifestyles to the changing world around us in small ways further south from here in iraq we met sally not in color who told

us about how she and particularly the women in how my community are adapting to climate change. lives in. a small settlement 140 kilometers west of kenya's capital nairobi. she wants to raise awareness about climate change and how my psych community. long droughts and unpredictable weather conditions related to climate change i want the biggest challenges the messiah now face claim attends has seen as experienced long that growth then relates to before but now it's hard to predict 3 predictive in there with the grazing lands becoming more cus it's forcing the most is to keep. the amount of cattle so limited those really made the most a be forced to move from being nomadic bustard least to looking for other sources of income. and they went in and i don't know when you're going.

the option of moving to greener pastures has always been the basis of the mathias way of life. but now sustainable agriculture can be a solution to address nutrition security in the messiah community selena mouth spends her time showing my side women how to grow spinach and other vegetables. but it takes a lot of effort to convince traditionally nomadic australian title and finance and when you know that i have begun to think that must a community we really need an ultimate source of livelihood a new christian security. limitations security and i thought why not start crowdfunding he said of just having to do you know my request for a living so now it's just important to train a recipe for a our sources of we would nutrition security and even sources of income because you see crops you can you can from them at any time.

with selena hopes to convince specifically younger women in the messiah community because they'll be the ones bringing change to their families. yet. for me it's my generation that with innovation my eggs that are the 1st ones to go to school to get a formal education so it's up to us to educate the community and bring back the knowledge we have to share with them so that we can grow together the whole population would be left behind it's only the indicated people who have been laid and the expertise and the only ones who can do things so we really have to share this knowledge and that is what we are doing now. climate change is such all to the must fight lifestyle dramatically adapting to the changes could keep the communities going.

now i want to take you out of kenya and broaden the view a little see climate change has really become a rallying cry for young people globally in 2018 a swedish teenager gretta 20 bug spearheaded the fridays for future movements which saw students around the world demanding climate action from world leaders while we haven't seen huge climate protests on the african continent compared for example to some other parts of the world there are people who are working hard and dedicated their time to raising awareness and calling for climate justice the only problem is that it's sometimes harder to make your voice heard here in africa and here's why. vanessa narcotic she has become the symbol of the ugandan climate movement the 24 year old got involved in climate activism in 2018 after her country was hit by unusually high temperatures joining the worldwide climate protests vanessa camped with other activists in the freezing cold switzerland at the world economic forum's

unfortunately she didn't get the same attention that other activists got she was cropped out of a published group photo and the incident went viral in an online press statement to hit back at racism in the media other activists joined in solidarity including dornan bruno from south africa and gratitude from sweden you're focused on trying get up to visit him from different corners ills you know the western countries but what you're doing wrong is try as much as possible to says old and it is the voices from the global south it makes us feel like they are up to busy and the disasters in us he wouldn't be selling kept for you but the incident didn't deter vanessa from continuing her fight and drawing attention to climate change issues in africa . what's happened. turned out to be

a positive thing because of how we responded to aids i was up to these from up the gulf and it was all work and most used tools stand up and rise up and demand for action as well as our within the media and the public about the dangers of climate change. before the pandemic she also took her activism into the classroom at this school in central uganda she wanted to inspire the next generation to get passionate about the environment it's a message she says the children need to hear. the practical issues. i believe that every kid deserves an opportunity to be in such a close to clearly understand that in point of the things that they see in their environment these kids understand they clearly knew they were going to see this tree but if you come into that trust and teach them and remain them that gives them our lot and our way out of the destruction that causes that that goes on in the

environment and pushes them to go south. since the start of the pandemic the knesset has kept up her activism online she's used her social platforms to draw attention to issues such as climate education climate catastrophe u.s. and clean energy venessa has also found her voice on an international stage. leaders must acknowledge that we are in a crisis unstuck treating it as a crisis the people on the planet must come 1st before anything else if you do not treat climate change as a crisis then you will not do what is necessary for us to get out of this mess. vanessa believes that climate change is intrinsically tied to poverty hunger and conflict and she hopes that the leaders both at home in new. and will act quickly

enough to change things. i. the world produces more plastic than we need and we see it everywhere actually even all around me in 27000 kenya introduce one of the world's toughest laws against single use plastic bags in fact you can even get fined for carrying one rhonda has gone a step further and they've also banned plastic bottles straws and coffee cups and the reason for these measures is that most of the world's plastic ends up in landfills or oceans or places like these it's estimated that by the year 2050 there will be more plastic weight in water than fish so we asked our correspondents from across the continent how their countries have been dealing with plastic waste and management. and city authorities try to get the culprits there's currently no law that prevents people from using plastics all the wonder is such fish fully implemented and to littering laws but zimbabwe soon needs to do more.

like many emerging markets around the world nigeria is generating more waste than ever this is because the population is growing and people are consuming more than they used to research shows that nigeria is among the top 20 countries in the world with the largest share of plastic waste that ends up in the ocean and estimates at 200000 metric tons of plastic waste is this chart from nigeria into the atlantic ocean every year. capito campolo a clean city that's a great stoppage of discussion where. some parts of the city are really clean well maintained bridges are those kind of reflective exact opposite it's going to see a plus a go to be thrown out of a speeding car or dump. it's been a dream itself but the city looks

a bit much more organized than it was. literary of any nature is a big challenge for zimbabwe though until literary laws exist then and is very weak if you go on the streets there's a high enough rubbish bins and people end up throwing litter and how the end result is that we care what a bone disease is like typhoid and the quality. well there you have it there not enough laws preventing people from littering and in many cases there are no proper waste collection or management facilities provided by government so cities who really should be picking them up luckily there are always a few people who are willing to volunteer or do something for their communities so let's have a look. well that's impressive skyline i'm expensive yachts. picked

out of luxury but only at 1st glance. reviews the darker sides the lagoon is a cesspool of plastic waste. mental activists called eco proves fighting against leaving collecting trash here since 29 teams to protect the environment and the people. if you get the water that we need to be on the ground we are looking out for what we are looking pretty good at the end of our street with the flooding . because every. once a week to clean up the log it's estimated that $12000.00 metric tons of waste out drop here every day then you wear caspita rense the boots with their own money but the owners give them the marguerites to help. those who receives help from the private schools or companies which clears waste from the locker room for. free

plastic easy recyclable material but much of it still ends up in a lump jail cycling's that's existed here but it's rudimentary. it's really just a dump site but what we do have we have pickers who go to the dump site and they then individually take out the things which have to have a lot of value i mean we were literally throwing away money they have little value so they pick them out i take them they sell them off so the different people who are doing the recycling. to $800.00 workers help with a clean ups on a regular basis the activist want to foster more public awareness about the environment to help change people's behavior. if only people can imbibe of culture where by drinking you play on your back in traffic money that way you can find the traffic on. equal pro has also started to connect to god beach on beaches sometimes they manage to recruit extra for the n.t.s.b. spontaneously. in about just about.

anywhere you know my factory and you'll see all around me goes much money it's just like the beach so. while the volunteers continued you know work they would like to see a reduction in waste and the like to see the government in lagos step in then and also doing it's been. ok i've got a question for you what's your country doing about plastic waste you know we love hearing from you and you can always send us your comments by a social media but we already actually had some from a facebook page and martin chipman from nigeria wrote climate change scares me and banning plastic will help us i think i have to agree with you martin and was owned or from ghana wrote deforestation damaging of what

a body is due to illegal mining activities lack of sufficient training for sudden floods are just a few of the issues we face with our environment and changing climate in my area well as usual thank you so much for those comments this show is really about all of us and our next report actually comes from ghana where our team met another person protecting the environment that's the up and coming musician miriam giallo you may know her by has stage name a.j. so let's take a look. maria. has just started making a name for herself on ghana's music cd. the young musician who has spent her life both in sierra leone and ghana is passionate about music but you also have strong opinions about how we're treating our environment. our environment is just full of positive but when you cut it down it leads to pollution of air directly to the soil water we drink we use the air we breathe. air pollution everywhere

so i believe if we keep our environment green i mean. we're safe. the greenery is the backdrop for the music videos and it's something she believes everybody should appreciate more. of my videos that i've been using. in my. video beautiful expression of. joy you know. armstrong. yes gone. well that's all we have for you today we do hope you enjoyed our special show right here from lake bulgaria to get in touch with us and send us an e-mail at 77 d w dot com and connect with us on social media as usual we leave you with big to thank you for watching. sure looks to.
