this is deja vu news live from berlin the united nations human rights council calls for the a media release of myanmar's ousted leader aung san suu kyi the demand comes as hundreds of thousands continue to take to the streets of myanmar to protest the military coup and on for more also coming up on the show donald trump's lawyers wrap up their case in his impeachment trial against this of the former u.s. president holds no responsibility for the violence ensuring the january 6th riots at the capitol look at the latest from our correspondent in washington. and
6:01 am
a kremlin critic alexander volley in court again and already jails now he's charged with slandering a war veteran tensions between russia and the european union over nerve on these fate are rising. so i'm claire richards and welcome to the show the un's talk human rights body has passed a resolution urging manned mars military to immediately release on san suu kyi and other civilian government leaders detained after a coup earlier this month and pressure on the military is also growing within myanmar where large crowds have been taking to the streets nationwide and demanding the restoration of civilian role. her. their will to keep up the find remains unbroken. it was the biggest i. of protests yet.
6:02 am
hundreds of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets and even the water to cool for democracy to be reinstated in myanmar. last. now they have been given backing by the un's top human rights body. the human rights council passing a unanimous resolution urging manaus military to release on sunset she and others civilian government leaders it was i think a reflection of a very strong view of the world looking at this outrageous act by the tatmadaw that the military of overthrowing a developing democracy a fragile democracy is and then the aftermath of this with a massive protest and the very heavy handed ness of the of the military. and the military's crackdown on dissent is getting more heavy handed by the day.
6:03 am
the red cross reports 3 people were wounded when police fired rubber bullets in the southeastern city of my love me and now of that. arrested protesters were taken off giving the 3 think that solution defiance. meanwhile the military regime announced the release of more than $23000.00 prisoners as part of an amnesty. and mass clearing of the country's jails as authorities step up their response to the unrest shows no sign of beijing. and let's get the latest from journalist ayman thought and yang gone a as we just heard at 23000 inmates were released from myanmar as prisoners on friday what's behind the amnesty. so in myanmar embassies are pretty common around large holidays and so this is not something that's completely
6:04 am
unexpected but what is different about this hour. is the sheer number of people who released so the largest amnesty was 6000 back in 2011 and the civilian government was trying to show that they were serious about reforms and so this one it's almost 4 times larger than that and as many concerns from the public back you know one people who have been released are going to be used to either style. among the protesting crowds or to just you know create more crime in the streets but also the other fear is that they are essentially emptying the prisons in order to make room for future political prisoners. and there's also many concern stop. people who have been involved in the political violence in the past including the assassins behind . me one of the inmarsat top lawyers who was a proponent of constitutional change was also released yesterday and now in the
6:05 am
past 2 weeks we've seen mass protests some of the demonstrators getting very creative about it how does the pressure had an effect on military leaders. it's a little bit hard to say i mean you know. this seems like something that's going to be a marathon not a sprint and so especially with a strike and civil disobedience from civil suits from civil servants this is likely something that will take longer before we see real impacts however we are seeing state controlled media starting to address the protests and the like also made a statement in addressing the country the other day where he urged people not to protest or not to. think you used the term trust unscrupulous people people of the potential covert occasions of being out in the streets and yesterday we had a moment. where. announced the
6:06 am
banging that people have been hearing at my rather than being pots and pans being because of protests were actually workers doing their jobs all right now in the last days we have had targeted sanctions announced by the united states as well as a un's a top human rights body passing a resolution calling for the release of government leaders including on some sushi so how effective have these efforts from the international community been so far. so in terms of targeted sanctions from the u.s. there were $1000000000.00 worth of assets you know assets that were frozen and that u.s. and given the sort of wide reach of american companies it's very possible you know financial services google all these other things could have a really large impact in the long run. ensuring that meeting yesterday with the u.n. human rights council statement was read by a statement from iraq this was read on the floor and he basically said you know we
6:07 am
don't know what. it's a statement it means actions and so statements are great but you know in terms of having real impact we're just starting to see sort of real actions and thank you so much for your time. thank you happy. and united states now where lawyers for donald trump have wrapped up their defense in the former u.s. presidents impeachment trial denying that trump played any part in inciting the capitol hill riots last month the defense team took just 3 hours to make their case and to cry to the impeachment trial as a political witch hunt the senate will reconvene on saturday morning when members are expected to vote on whether to convict. day 4 of a trial which has all but guaranteed. its participants push on. it was time for don't trump legal team to make that the fence and lay out why
6:08 am
the former president shouldn't be convicted. the article of impeachment now before the senate is an unjust and blatantly unconstitutional of political a vengeance. their argument focused on freedom of speech insisting trump was exercising his 1st amendment rights when casting doubt on the election results the constitution in the 1st amendment must certainly apply to these and pietschmann proceedings and mr trump's speech deserves full protection under the 1st amendment . the defense also showed a 10 minute video of democrats using the word fight to argue that trump's words of fought like hell on january 6th did not incite the rioters who attacked the capitol afterward suddenly the word fired is off limits spare us the poc received in faults
6:09 am
indignation the defense team's statements foliage 2 days of arguments by democrat prosecutors who said trump set the stage for the quality but generally 6 they said he summoned the crowd to washington and did nothing to stop the rioting even as a played out on television. this is about protecting our republic and articulating in defining the standards of presidential conduct and if you want this to be a standard for totally appropriate presidential conduct going forward be my guest but we're headed for a very different kind of country at that point mr president you know the democrats are unlikely to gain a conviction as few republican senators have come out against her maids popular among republican voters both parties are a get to move to a final vote which could come as soon as saturday. but all signs point to it ending
6:10 am
as a partisan draw a 2nd acquittal for donald trump. earlier i spoke to correspondent stephan simons in washington d.c. and asked him how republican lawmakers have been justifying their decision to stand by trump's words. they want to win the election they want to win the election in 2022 they are gearing up for this and make no mistake the g.o.p. the grand old party the republican party is still still a trump party trump is not really pulling the strings anymore but his followers his base is the overwhelming amount of and in the g.o.p. in the republican party those senators who are now are kind of not impacted and kind of bored with the proceedings are we so people reading books and doodling during those 4 days of trial here on the republican side they want to win the elections in 2022 they want to cater and they must cater to this very very strong
6:11 am
trump base which is still or which still makes the republican party as of now. jeff and simon is in washington d.c. for us there let's take a look now at some other stories making headlines at this hour u.s. president joe biden is allowing asylum seekers waiting in mexico to enter the u.s. while their cases are being heard a decision reverses a trump era program it's all tens of thousands of asylum seekers mostly from central america sent back over the border creating a humanitarian crisis. ecuador's election authority says it will conduct a vote a recount after presidential candidate pettis made allegations of electoral fraud the environmental lawyer and his right wing rival where most laso finished neck and neck for 2nd place and a chance to challenge leftist economist and today in april's runoff.
6:12 am
former european central bank chief mario draghi has agreed to serve as the new prime minister of italy a 73 year old economist said he was ready to lead a national unity government designed to manage the effects of the pandemic and a deep recession a new government is to be sworn in on saturday. and a kremlin critic i'll explain avani has appeared in court accused of defaming a world war 2 veteran the russian opposition leader is already in jail for violating his probation while recovering from a poisoning attack leaders are now calling for an avanti is released and considering sanctions on russia the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has in returned in return for and to sever ties with the bloc. how russia treats this man and his supporters is affecting the country's relations with the european union opposition leader alexina val name was arrested in january after he returned to russia and jailed soon afterwards never only is facing more
6:13 am
court cases which his supporters say a politically motivated the e.u. is considering new sanctions on moscow during an interview with the russian new to child russia's foreign minister suggested that the country could break ties with the e.u. if sanctions become a reality we should if we don't want to be isolated from international life but we must be ready for that if you want peace be prepared for war which group of screen . a spokesman for the kremlin tried to play down the comments and said russia wants to develop ties with the bloc but relations are at their lowest point since the cold war. a meeting between the e.u. and the russian foreign ministers over the valleys treatment ended in a diplomatic route last week. during the school moscow announced that it was expanding diplomats from 3 e.u. states for attending protests by now valley supporters. after
6:14 am
the incident the block's foreign minister. said that russia is going down a war or some will for a terrier route some even though mike has say they do not believe that russia would separate ties. looking north. i was always minus dished from my point of view this is saber rattling no one should be surprised about that russia would be shooting itself in the foot if it wants to break off ties with the e.u. whose arms i know cited. in your operation. and snored stream 2 was one of those ties this gigantic pipeline project is meant to bring russian gas into europe it's not clear whether new sanctions would affect this project worth billions of euros the venture is controversial and some e.u. member states oppose it but is committed to it. that's all from there for now
6:15 am
stay tuned for world stories with a report on the misery in the camps of syria's it live province and remember you can get all the latest news and information around the clock on our website at state of utah com you can follow us on social media at t w news and care richardson in berlin for me an entire news team thanks so much for joining us. it's about billions. it's about power. it's about the foundation of the border the silk road. china wants to expand its influence with this trade network in europe. china is
6:16 am
promising its partners rich. but in europe there's a sharp morning whoever exceptional new from good super power will become dependent on a. chinese gateway to europe. starts feb 19th on d w. this week on world stories. immigrants in the u.s. are counting on biden women in moscow are driving metros again but meet again in northwestern syria where tens of thousands of refugees are living in camps in. they may have escaped civil war but they still haven't found safety. a bar tent
6:17 am
frame standing among charred to ruins the reminder of the horrible night 4 weeks ago when up to the fact that i am just his 10 year old daughter. in the bitter cold his 10 neighbors were trying to light a whole met furnace when the entire tent went up in flames. the fire spread very quickly there were huge flames and a motorcycle and some fuel exploded all the tents caught fire my wife and children were trapped inside only 5 made it out of the homes of. their youngest daughter also suffered severe burns and the aid organization brought the one year old to turkey for medical treatment doctors have sent messages and videos but the family's not allowed to visit. the border with turkey is close. 2 syrian refugees the mother fatima can barely stand it.
6:18 am
so i hope so much that she'll come back healthy but i saw the fire i fear the worst . tragedies like these happen frequently in the makeshift camps in the northern eclipse tens of thousands of people are living here in miserable conditions even basic necessities the trains food heating fuel and medical care. constant heavy rain has now made the situation worse people here were cut off from all supplies for days many tents were destroyed age organisations have been doing their best but are totally overwhelmed the situation is made even worse by the rampant coronavirus the infection rate in the province has risen dramatically. following the of the. we've done what we can and together with other aid organizations and the white helmets we've tried to raise awareness about the coronavirus we've handed out masks and disinfectant but given the desperate
6:19 am
situation it's not enough. of them. have to fight half family are simply glad that the aid organisation has given them a new tent some clothing and even a new furnace but they hardly use it despite the cold they have no money for fuel and they are terrified of using it anyway. my children and i have a psychological problem in the tent we are afraid to light the furnace when my husband isn't here so our children panic and start screaming when they see fire so it's very very hard for us. when they fled the fighting and their rates up to fatah thought they would only be here for a few days but now it's been 14 months and they. too afraid to go back home to southern eclipse because the fighting rages on.
6:20 am
around 11000000 undocumented immigrants live in the usa during the trump era they lived in fear of deportation president biden has promised them a path to citizenship but many are still worried. that is what brings them together even on a cold day and at the bend. it's the 4th anniversary of the muslim travel ban imposed by former president donald trump and now revoked by one of president biden's 1st executive orders. and so this ban from the get go should not have ever been made it's rooted in divisiveness fear mongering in haiti and the fact that it separated so many families for so long is just it's cruel and it's a never be race i'm here in support of the action all of us meaning that we're demanding to the white house and congress president biden we need justice for everybody meaning. citizenship for all 11000000 undocumented immigrants and to all
6:21 am
deportations and detentions. from believe to the united states with her 2 sons 20 years ago and hasn't been home since her son's no no other country than their own the united states they were granted legal status by the dream act but they still don't tap a u.s. citizenship so. it's hard to be an immigrant here it's painful it's sad it's hard work you have to fight a lot. she arrived with a tourist visa and never left undocumented immigrants like ingrid a contre 5 percent of the workforce in the united states they are part of the backbone of the economy and houses offices hospitals and doing to domestic work for many. american families. because of the pandemic ingrid has lost her main source of income now she's also lost her home because she can't pay the rent anymore but she
6:22 am
says what hurts most is not to be able to visit her family either most of it is difficult to visit our countries because if we leave we will not be allowed to enter again and it's just for many immigrants so the charity and the will to fight have grown even stronger despite the pandemic and the trumpet ministrations policies and for those hoping to become an american citizen that toll now has a name go by. the coronavirus hit germany hard but in a city in the state of mecklenburg for palm on the infection rate is much lower than the national average what are they doing differently. is it the cool baltic breeze or the rather calm and collected mindset of people in the north of germany so far they have made it well through the covert crisis
6:23 am
especially here in the city of. infection numbers are currently lower than the german everett's. to supernews where disciplined northern germans are quite different from everyone else. we're a bit more nordic and distance anyway maybe that's why i was secret recipe timing might have been one reason very early on the city started testing more people than ever at mosques quickly became mandatory in designated places and alcohol was spent on the streets earlier than in most places in germany. another reason might be him of our stocks mayor he is origin of the from denmark and had just started his political career when the pandemic hits before that he was an entry printer. helpful when leading a team. people are very surprised when i said now we're going
6:24 am
to shut everything down it took 15 minutes and then they started working all together as a strong team and immediately put my words in action and i can understand that when the new mayor suddenly says we're going to shut everything down here we're going to get. a search reason for the lower number of infections could be the north specs the nation's strategy relative to its inhabitants they have vaccinated more people than any other region in germany and there's something else if you family doctors are gaining nationwide attention because they started vaccinating people in their own practice unique in germany because so far people had to go to vaccination centers to get the chap administering it has been doable for doctors here contrary to popular belief the biotech pfizer vaccine can be stored at normal french temperature for a couple of days. mine my wish of course would be that when we have enough vaccine available in the near future that we will have proven with this model project it's
6:25 am
possible the family doctors can do the vaccinations let us broaden this idea and let the family doctors take over. but germany is still missing vaccine doses until that problem is solved the country's north will have to continue counting on its discipline and maybe the fresh baltic breeze. our last stop is russia for a ride on the moscow metro after a decades long ban women can once again drive through the capital cities rapid transit system. women are finally in the driving seat and are pushing full speed ahead on gender equality in the russian capital. started working for the moscow metro almost 18 years ago at the time women were not allowed to operate subway trains in russia but
6:26 am
arenas says for her it was worth the wait. this is my childhood dream i used to play with model ships and airplanes with the boys my father was a pilot so why the metro somehow it drew me in the fact that it's underground i guess it's like flying but under the ground. irina is proud to be one of the 1st 12 female metro drivers after all the moscow subway is legendary the soviet government started building it in the 1930 s. calling it a palace for the people for commuting workers in the 1980 s. the government decided women had no place driving these trains they said the metro is too deep underground too loud and too dark for women and the vibration from the trains could damage their so-called childbearing function even now women drivers are only being deployed on the most modern trains and only operate one line that runs partially over ground despite the fact that they get the exact same training
6:27 am
as their male counterparts. in russia 100 jobs remain off limits for women for example metal manufacturing like the work in this steel mill mining and drilling on an oil rig are still considered men's work russian lawmakers insist the restrictions are still relevant today. we treat women with care here these tough jobs and hard labor are still seen as men's work in our society also women are mothers so providing for and taking care of their health and their reproductive functions is important that's why we used recommendations from doctors to determine factors that are harmful to women at work . is on her way to her next shift the 38 year old says the metro feels like
6:28 am
a 2nd home to her especially now that she's in the driving seat and the arena is optimistic the other band jobs won't be off limits to women forever. i'm sure they're working on it already the bands must be in place for a reason so the government must be taking care of women i would tell other women to keep believing and hoping no matter what you want to become everything is possible . eating a dog already has her dream job and the next group of women will start training to become drivers soon but outside of these metro tunnels gender equality is still a long way off.
6:29 am
good shape. there lurking everywhere. cheerier well just think it's kind of disgusting no it's not because those bacteria a very important for our health and well being. what you do and what not to do. affect of hygiene concepts during the corona pandemic. d.w. . constable. for sporting the octavia r.s. i.v. has the best of both. the successful model from skoda is now also a plug in hybrid. the multi-faceted car is great for everyday use and a bit of fun. read. 60 minutes on the w.
6:30 am
literature invites us to see people in particular that i like to see as the kids find instruments grown up. might object to. either the books on youtube. welcome to in good shape. hand washing is more important than ever during the coverage 1000 pounds amec but sticking to basic hygiene rules is always one of the most effective ways to avoid getting sick bacteria and viruses lurk everywhere sometimes in unexpected places but not all microbes are bad. hello and welcome to
6:31 am
a good ship do you know what those funny birds and me have in common but. on our surface well you think it's kind of discussed no it's not because those bacteria are very important for our health and well being and do you know what takes care of all bacteria our own immune system. system we know it as a defense system but it has another much broader function. we end our microbial cohabitants need to be kept in balance exactly how the immune system does that is extremely complicated and we don't yet fully understand it it has to react but without overreacting. it can't just rush in and let fly at random it needs to leave its friends in peace for example microbes which help with digestion manufacture vital substances and eliminate pathogens.
6:32 am
but how does the immune system know which microbes are the good guys and which are the baddies. as with every system in the body the immune system has regulators that spurred on horse. slow it down. our microbial cohabitants hope this fine tuning. microbes convince our immune system to let them stay base soothe it even though it recognizes them as invaders. that's exactly what keeps our immune system in peak fitness it can react quickly to danger but at the same time it's controlled so that it doesn't lash out at everything. as is the case with allergies for example for asthma or auto immune diseases then the body attacks harmless substances or.
6:33 am
microbes can also defend against pathogens directly. sort of like a gatekeeper to prevent pathogens from entering the body and causing an infection. and. there is some scientific evidence that our immune system is primarily there to keep our organism in balance with all its microbial passengers the defense against pathogens is only a side effect but an important one. germany goes into the next knock down because of the novel coronavirus and this is why i will continue this show from home. the question what can i do for my personal hygiene is especially important in the times of the new coronavirus pandemic so what to do and what not to do will be the topic of today's top hello today eyelets institute for her dream
6:34 am
brilliant and i have to be very prepared. and i live close to dr suster. doctor at sas rose a specialist in hygiene and public health related environmental protection and his particular focus has been on optimizing hygiene in hospitals. hello professor sastra i've just infected my hands it's often said that washing them is enough do i really have to disinfect them as well to protect myself from the sars cough to virus from. him or. also take my mask off we're far enough apart disinfecting your hands is the best option we should do it in everyday life as well when you get off the subway or bus because you can't wash your hands there it's good to have a little bottle of disinfectant with you at all times to kill off any viruses.
6:35 am
what else should we do to protect ourselves from the virus you know i did this to use it disinfectant mouthwash because the nose mouth and throat where the virus can multiply we should nip that in the butt and kill any particles as soon as possible . on the proper anti microbial agent mind you not just any old male friends. i believe but that's fine if you want to smell sweet but it won't kill viruses. to go into so gargling with the mountains interesting i have another question about masks cloth ones ever be tuesday supposable ones we often wear them all day long on public transport and so on what's the right way to deal with them. after 2 hours a face mask will be sought and viruses on the in a side slowly move to the outer side so after a couple of hours the surgical mask you're wearing with the blue surface is going
6:36 am
to be wet and then it's time to put on a new one life a surgical or medical mask like yours is the mask of choice or someone. who's it so you recommend this kind of mess but how should i keep it clean. if i touch the surface. is that a mistake if i think this is from a fire like the it was good if you know it doesn't matter. just disinfected your hands and. put it on. over one ear and then the other or both at the same time and down over the chin at the top there's a strip of metal. gainst the nose around the nose and under your glasses until it's nice and snug. when you're breathing normally nothing gets through the mask has 3 layers it's a good mechanical barrier. coming into the must be disinfected and used again.
6:37 am
yeah the mother has a call yes when you get home i turn on the oven preheated to 70 degrees celsius and then put the mask in for half an hour or 3 quarters of an hour. then one another. for then the mask is entirely free of any corona virus particles and there's no risk of infection. that's from even disposable masks yeah. yes they're called disposable for a very different reason they were developed for medical use in an operating theatre everything has to be sterile. so before i put supper in the oven i should bake my mask. not. exactly when you come home turn on the oven this is important and it's astonishing that people don't realize this sort take it seriously. you have to preheat the oven.
6:38 am
like with ready to bake rolls from the supermarket it always says preheat the oven before you put them in. and many people 1st put their masks in the oven and then turn it on and pull them out after half an hour that's wrong you need exactly 70 degrees for half an hour if the oven warms up part of that time. 405060 degrees and so on it's not good enough many thanks that was professor with us on in good shape . do you know what my favorite place in this house is it's the kitchen it's simply the place to be it's we. eat it's when together with my family but especially in times of the coronavirus it's very important to be very good on the kitchen so your menu for today. meet maria and camilla they share a cooking. party the mile also spends a lot of time in kitchens he's
6:39 am
a food safety inspector today they're going to cook together for. 30 seconds now our families tell their quote you out you need to wash your hands for 30 seconds and you should take off all of your jewelry. it's also advisable to wash your hands now and then while you're cooking that's the safest way of making sure the food stays g.m. free. the team makes dessert 1st tiramisu the recipe calls for the food inspectors alone bells are ringing. so i think we know why there's a salmonella risk. and then sit outside on their eggs at the segs can get contaminated with germs and bacteria on their passage through the cloaca so separating eggs is quite dicey. if. the oak comes into
6:40 am
contact with the shell. the egg shouldn't be released because the bacteria could end up in the actual egg wash your hands after handling eggs and lettuce didn't cut off the stalk 1st so you can clean the parts of the letters that are hard to get into this. middle path which is very compact sometimes there's a bit of sand and grit in there. give everything else to make sure all the debts gone. back to the does that as well as tiramisu has musk a pony and it's this can go off and needs to be kept in the french. will know this is already the question is where do we put it will only be serving it in a few hours and we'll be doing some more cooking in the meantime it needs to be covered with foil and kept in the fridge for the time being the term assume is left to chill. things can get chaotic in the kitchen and mistakes.
6:41 am
paula this is a perfect example let me give you a paper towel you drive your hands on the used. any germs that were on it are all over your hands it's also a good idea to wipe the chopping board with a paper towel to. paper towels need to be thrown away in the next challenge she now is trying to use to toxicity. use all this up today and open tuna fish came in the fridge is not a good idea. clingfilm helps keep it crisp and bacteria free time to prepare the meat meat and poultry can be easily contaminated if i'm not really sure should i rinse it 1st isn't enough to make sure it's well cooked doesn't that get rid of any bacteria. farrelly should
6:42 am
get rid of any bacteria this piece of meat is dry so i wouldn't expose it to moisture no. i would just cook it it's worth running produce that you need to defrost under cold water drying it with kitchen roll up so that any bacteria get rinsed off. with. this meat is fresh and dry so the team can stop preparing it's very important after the turkey has been on it the tracking board has to be cleaned with boiling water but there are different roles for the mince meat as you can read here you can keep it opened at a maximum temperature of 2 degrees for 2 days 2 degrees is no problem in the meat counter at the supermarket but a normal fridge isn't that cold. how safe is touching me to poultry with.
6:43 am
germs double in number every 20 minutes or. so we. will be fine. we can need it with our hands and. the turkey must be well to. make calls to. follow camilla and maria and looking forward to tucking into that 3 course many. will have to piss off i didn't feel we were being told off as of young people are clueless and he was nice about that we all learned a lot taking these precautions isn't any extra work on this one. and so long as a few basic rules are followed we don't need to worry and we can all just enjoy eating well. in good shape your weekly health show on d w covers many aspects of health care. we look at what's new in medical treatment
6:44 am
nutrition fitness and beauty. we talk about these topics in depth with experts and give you the chance to pose your own questions so do get in touch. if you need to go to a toilet here in germany it's usually not a problem because toilets are literally everywhere. but the world health organization claims that willed white nearly 2000000000 people don't have access to top lids and that's a real problem here is that i am glad. you like there to be a festive atmosphere when she makes a sales pitch but there's a serious matter at stake. for you you know and today i want to show you how we can make our neighborhood clean our. thoughts on what's this and where did these bags land when we've used them on our roofs in our streets and you know what
6:45 am
would you like to change the situation. but what about martha. who works for the people a company that wants to improve access to hygiene make toilets. i thought into. how many of you know about people who are new kind of toilets it will help make things cleaner and healthier it's not just a bag. there are chemicals inside which fight the smell and kill harmful bacteria. that was in 2013 no sewerage no real toilets instead single use plastic bags were meant to solve the sanitation problem in shantytowns. kibera on the outskirts of the kenyan capital nairobi is one of the biggest informal settlements in africa it's estimated that between 300001 1000000 people live here but it's impossible to know exactly
6:46 am
and grew up here. she knows the nicer side of kibera. but also the bad sides garbage collects in the streets the biggest problem is that people don't know what to do with their own bodily waste nobody has a toilet in their home. when nature calls people are forced to use the few open spaces or use plastic bags which they throw away the result is that fecal matter spreads diseases like typhus and cholera. diarrheal diseases one of the leading causes of death here. is typical of many places in the world where people have no access to adequate
6:47 am
sanitation the world health organization says it's a situation that affects some 2000000000 people. thanks to the people who toil it the situation in could be a is changing because the waste is collect. did instead of being thrown on to the roof. yeah we are coming to you people do you have something that's really big task the bag toilets may look like the old flying toilets but they're actually something different. from. the bag contains 5 grams of artificial urea when it comes into contact with feces it produces ammonia gas that kills the pathogens in human excretions. before it was we used to throw the flying toilets on the rail and that when the
6:48 am
