killed in all the nigeria by criminal gangs carrying out robberies and kidnappings adding to security challenges in nigeria field by communal violence in central states and is not just insurgencies in the north east. it's the worst attack on the city of my degree in over a year suspected insurgents targeted a residential area using rocket propelled grenades locals say the assaults began in the evening just as many were finishing work and went on for hours. among the places reported to have been hit are a children's playground and a football pitch. when it was happening my place of work was close by i just saw something red coming and it fell hit many people and it killed many people that you. know everybody was distressed and the only possible solution for us is to pray and we were just like. the governor of

the state visited the injured in hospital. all of the dead and wounded civilians. the governor described it as a sad moment for the city. he also said a new approach was needed to try to prevent such attacks in future. the only possible solution is to deploy technology. and detect. an incoming. into the town. for now though it seems the government is unable to give people here the protection they need from attacks by militants. now the attacks come less than a month after president mahmoud abbas hari replaced his long standing military chiefs amid worsening violence in the country earlier i spoke to security analysts kabira daboll and i asked him if the changes in the military would improve the

security situation. we do not think the military is this illusion to leave security challenge of the nigeria there are 27 ministry departments and agencies within the u.n. security. the military just forward of the 27. groups this for the other 20 so you are not good then we're not see any significant improvement they are that the government. is the root cause of insecurity. i mean the government fortunately it is they. will continue and it has talk about the security situation because it does appear from the reports that come out of my chair whether it's an attack that is suspected to be bad or in another part of the country where we have bandits. people waiting school children what is your

sense about what really needs to get the situation the security situation and the control in nigeria talking about governance major point would be to restore social order which is. continuously being depleted region so any measure that would hell rest daughter of social order would be instrumental and one of the most important element is. the. efficiency and effectiveness of the administration of criminal justice. minister just if not able to point each of you have a bout of offense is being committed. to create of our not being point for a lot of grievance corruption is one of that. to come i think your institutions we did the administration of justice system started from the law enforcement agencies should have the capacity to arrest presented itself and through the courts and then

the courts themselves have a lot of the. and then the correctional services the pretty. big. a shortage misprision of criminal justice system if they were deported you often does a. number to relieve. pressure on the political act of a huge but. it's the main gear of either political act of unfortunately allowed to step up impunity where they do it in it's wrong and they're not going to because the right. protection and a lot you've got the lack of accountability to go wrong and no one wants to board that starts a computer adamle security analyst in a butcher thank you. thank you for the. police i'm gonna have raided and shut down the office of n l g rights group in the capital accra the opening of the santa nost month was

followed by public outcry with religious groups on a stations and anti-gay rights organizations calling on the government to close it down. and spun it as it is standing by in the capital accra good to see isaac out what reasons did the police give for closing the facility. so there wasn't really spoken about the martha except what we know is that they. actually called the police and informed them that the facility that i was being in and useful sometime known belongs to him and so he needed to go in and close down. that is where the police are involved so the police are we don't know what charges or what reason really close and down it was on the order of the of the facility. isaac this has been described as a community center and

a work space what was the the the space intended for. the one i visited a. few days ago the leaders of the same to say that they needed a plays where members of the community can come and food free and discuss issues that affect them counseling and 6 all cords that's. meant to be a place where these people within the community come to and 6 support from the organization where they need to see. the discrimination that are claiming that face in the community how the congo about them and overcome them it was really a pleas for them to really fusees and full wanted because they really didn't have that in their country for many many years now. i think what did the at the

organizers of this center plan to do now. so they are really not available to speak on records except to have the remaining resolute members of the community to remain. a message on the air to indicate that members of the community sure remain calm and disappointed in the action of their place and. to remain resolute and to continue to push for the rights to be respected. of them to also speak on the ib how to get the rights respected that is a case now it also made it also must be put on record that many of them are actually in the community because they don't want to be fearful for their lives and threats from people in a community that's reporting in accra thank you. cycling has taken off in the kenyan capital nairobi cheering the coronavirus pandemic as

residents seek safer ways to travel to work and cut transport costs despite the lack of bike lanes on most roads many have taken up pedalling and dodge the city's notorious traffic jams. the daily commute to work is never uneventful for stephen odhiambo weaving his way through nairobi's ever troublesome gridlocks since the endemic hit kenya in march last year the 30 year old has avoided public transport he'd rather take his chances on 2 wheels on the capital's chaotic roads the fear was there. to. this. day was careless push off the road. his commute is 15 kilometers long on roads with no cycle lanes so he has to contend with the unpredictable driving of trucks buses and motorcycles. if i don't show you the benefit of why i'm cycling and

what you just much safer and healthier for you you won't see the benefit of it like for me pos on every possible story women started in april until. december last year continuing to i had lost 20 cages. in that span just cycling more g.m. north. more dieting many more nairobi residents have also taken up cycling since the pandemic started bicycle sellers report booming business karumba said he's still went up by more than half in 2020. 2020 this. compared to 29 to me in terms of sales because you find that people wanted to say more just to keep fit to commute from walk from point a to point b. . mostly since cycling is a sport we wanted to keep fit because. while cycling is often

a more affordable means of travel we can be a dangerous activity in a city like nairobi kenya has national transport authority estimates $69.00 cyclists died in broad accidents in the city last year that's prompting calls for more action to protect those on 2 wheels. weirdly. has been good for cycling it has shown policymakers that people who walk people watch to cycle and they have to whether they like it or not they have to find a way of ensuring people can get to their destinations safe and sound it's no longer forcing ourselves to share roads with. motorists we do need space dedicated specifically for cyclists and for best and they're also. changes to notes back in 2015 or thirty's committed 20 percent of the road budget to non-motorized transport and today bike lanes are being set up in the city center

a sign of hope for a smoother ride in the future. and that's the finale for there's more on flights that africa also on facebook and on to today will leave you with pictures of more people and bicycles across the continent to see that's at the back. i'm secure in the fire more than tired and in the end this is a me you're not allowed to stay here any more we will send you that. are you familiar with this. with the smugglers we're alliance and. what's your story.

subjects of his photographs what do they think about his work. and tennant you don't usually learn much about the patients and the people in the background but they are all real people who live their lives and who come into contact with the situation he presents this in a very sensitive a very delicate way. patrick young has portraits confront us with the people who are fighting the pandemic people who deserve more than just the occasional public round of applause. a dire omma can be a miniature scenic painting viewed through a keyhole all a model showcase with 3 dimensional figures a minute just seen through glass the artists have a mice that deals with this latter type trying to create the perfect illusion of reality in miniature we visited in a studio in hamburg to find out more about these special illusions.
