trying to rub it live and dusky closer than even on the record for the season goals in the bundesliga case on scoring and his team van and kate on winning. i'm rebecca ritter's welcome to the program or authorities in a straight ahead declared a natural disaster as torrential rains continue to pummel the east of the country the downpour is causing some of the worst flooding in decades people were evacuated near sydney is more than 30 centimeters of rain fell on the area in just over a day emergency services are warning of a life threatening situation a high school started the manning river in new south wales. much of the state has been affected by dangerous flash flooding it's causing widespread damage and disdaining lives american sea services have appealed to people not to drive through

the flood waters it's not with the risk you creating significant risk to yourself or your families and also to the 1st who is who would need to come in and say. record rains to pay most of the state some areas have reported the worst flooding in half a century and the dating poor is are showing no signs of abating. we're just inundated at the moment. the water still rising demographic for you know a lot of you know. here this is the worst i've seen it last year just after christmas it was pretty bad as well but not this bad. is going to be a lot of people that might you don't get their houses a lot of the boat they won't get to work or ride will be wrecked and as well that's going to get a test and i think a lot of people going to like up call the government is offering financial assistance to people affected by the floods meteorologists are warning that the 16

weather is set to continue for several days. so let's bring in journalist rochelle harrison pleasant in sydney hi richelle so new south wales is saying some of the worst flooding in decades and parts of sydney where you are also now being evacuated what kind of damages are we talking about here. well actually authorities have said the rain it's currently lashing the mid north coast of new south wales is a once in a century event there's the record breaking rains that are lashed that region but also as you said right here in sydney aware of that equation orders were given this sunday afternoon to thousands of residents in parts of western sydney sydney notably the head rich area a national disaster has been declared in 16 local government areas across the state we know that hundreds of properties of properties have been damaged and sadly

people's beloved pets have also been lost in love and then there are reports of horses and livestock being washed down the rivers and washing up on local beaches there are some incredible images old for example of how that was to be rescued from the surf on the mid north coast of new south wales so it's not something you see every day that's the sure now those poor animals over there saw a video of a kangaroo being swept up in a way it's really quite shocking and now how well prepared are all thora teens and paper for this we heard that obviously there's going to be thing funding from the government but how are prepared where they. well i think both authorities and residents were taken by surprise by just how quickly the strains of lived and how quickly the floodwaters started rising so there was

a ration ounce of preparation and 13 makeshift evacuation centers as popped up in those affected regions of cross the state there were more than 1500. volunteers on the frontline there and they have reportedly carried out some 700 led rescues just in the past 3 days so that and enormous amounts of the mountain again that's a once in a lifetime in a stream of weather events that i think just nobody was prepared for was expecting the rain is going to keep bashing this area well into next week so i think it's a case of people really just hunkering down and bracing for the worst you mentioned extreme weather events there which of course this is now last year i'm sure many people remember australia was really saying these huge bushfires what to people in australia saying about these extreme weather events. well exactly like you say

because time last year in the wake of the devastating black summer bushfires we were just calling out for rain begging for rain and now it's here january 2020 was australia's participation ever numbers on the right course but this year so far has been much cooler and that's because of the leonine year and phenomenon learned weather events which tends to bring cooler daytime temperatures that also share the rainfall but what's interesting to note is the climate scientists have said time and time again that. during these extreme weather events the fact of global warming is making linear who is making money weather events are having to heavy a lot more just heavier rains that also during el nino is also bringing more severe droughts and was that the bush. rochelle harrison plaza in sydney stay dry and say

a bloody crackdown arresting thousands of activists resume chewer the world would know. she became a key stores she had the sort of softness almost frailty to wonder about her of the beginning and you like how is she doing this very dangerous job. and then as soon as you spoke to her you immediately discovered the sort of steely courage and principles. in 2013 resins sledge regime had to mask for duma a town that would later be dominated by the hardline militant group jaish and islam resin launched women's initiatives for for the rule of law and documented human rights abuses including those committed by armed rebels rather than was targeted several times a bullet left at her doorstep and none of this letter by d.w. threatening her life the words i will kill you repeated 5 times on december 9th

now to germany where female caregivers are feeling the impact of corona not only is their work on devalued they often and less than their male counterparts. here in the hospital there's a strict protocol when it comes to putting on your protective clothing but for cuts been baca it has become a routine she is one of the many female nurses who have been pushing their limits day and night for you know taking care of corona virus patients. as you think of a little bit of the physical strain is an enormous working in this kind of gear is exhausting but the psychological component plays a big role too we always have to take care of critically ill patients that's part of our job but now we have seriously ill patients can also endanger us and that is really stressful and watched both. stressful is also how hammond would

describe her last year she it works as a nurse in an old people's home and burn it up and demick made her job even harder and again the burden of caring for society's elderly falls mainly on women. luckily man i increasingly interested in being and my husband is also but otherwise it's mainly women probably because of the pay if it were male domain then women would also a very different set of guns on us for the. more than 90 percent of the people fighting the daily battles on the nursing front are women and they are up to 10 percent less than their male counterparts according to the german federation of trade unions the chances of promotion are slim and they often work nights it would make for the fallen branch and my wish for women of this profession is that they stop putting themselves down and that people are aware of their contribution people

need to understand that we are not just nasa's cleaners or kitchen wives that the world only goes around when we all work together as a team one of us can't get by without the other there's and i know for the one that in a non wish for one i would. want to. corona may be here to stay and we need to develop strategies we need enough staff enough equipment and whatever else it takes to help us do our jobs and as i understand con officers all of us here as i told. both nurses are agreed these improvements have to come and they have to come soon. now me takis psychedelic rock star yes it will actually all who's not afraid to stand up for women's rights. families adore her unique sound until unflinching political position it's.

a suffocating in its smoke she sings about him is the tosh. of us all and used it's really become more and more difficult to breathe in this country because there is a lack of justice and rule of law that has deeply wounded this society i feel very injured too it's time for us to stand up for and support each other here in turkey and elsewhere in the world. and. the. guy is most concerned about the situation of women in turkey rights groups warn that domestic violence is on the rise and that the number of women murdered has dramatically increased in recent years. activists regularly organize protests although the turkish government bans most of them but guy is proud that women still dare to be loud and demand their rights. to the code.

new adventures in 360. 6 more world heritage sites. w world heritage 360. now. hello and welcome to a brand new edition of the 77 percent my name is liz show and i'm excited to be your host today. here's what's coming up. we shed light on the shady world of sports betting in africa. young nigerian entrepreneurs take agriculture to the next level. and choreograph i'll give room to go by leaps and nose shows us some dance moves in the home talent bubble that. over the past decade sports betting has become

a huge business across africa many young people hope to make a quick buck and sold they are willing to risk their last cent sometimes you hear the wildest stories just like this one from dennis in our upcoming reports the funniest thing i have sold was bought a girlfriend and it was the only one i had for betting a deadly. well here's the whole story. gambling only. but also. there's no pseudo money than that that's the sweetest especially when you receive the message you've worn you feel like your newborn. and there is nothing wrong like reading your fast because that makes you know if that's because you've got $100.00 you get 5 and then you feel like they will get well known as i'm

betting it's only the us that to. me later look my name is the denison guy. i was born. raised in. and i am going what. i was. really cool myself a bit an addict it's hard because to me that's like a job let's say it's a job i do but i'm not do without a list i get out of options and yes i was watching. shows that. i have even so to make a living cell phone but the funniest thing i have sort of was important to

a friend and it was the only one i had for preparing a galley i had to lie to him that it was a name i guess i wanted to so just so i could get 20 shillings for getting to know it is life. wow he even told his last cooking pot. i have never placed a sports bed or any other kind of bet involving money but it seems that the whole betting game has a very strong grip on those who play regularly we ask people in west africa what they think about gambling. and do suppose with the club was still. good for you. that's why you have. a good set of incentives you get to get money you don't know

what you can use to cities and in 500 cities and the bad side is if you use the money you are supposed to use for something. to bits and then you lose easy you may not get on when you when you do it's you and kind of doing things because you feel if you try again you win then you continue doing do until you become addictive seen several people. have their own side of whatever business they did by investing hugely into bets of course they rob if i want to do this when i'm by green i didn't know that money for ice cream and i would have one of the one that i want to use i'm elated that i do much to listen well. but i think most people. will want to but he wants a bit. bettin has changed a lot of life it's already destroyed

a lot of life because some people does not have jobs they depend on it now which is very wrong or right and some people play due to the love of sports you get that's now i think is becoming addicted because of the way you hear how many people without jobs trying to do or meet you are trying to say oh to play the game or you are trying to say you want to play the game you are trying to. say your place now belongs just to you know easy but i am i say if you want to play you play for you don't to me it's your choice and i will force anybody to play a game of. what anyone or to me. is all about your mindset whatever i choose to do . making the choice to gamble has become a lot easier now that sports betting has shifted to digital platforms you don't even have to leave the house you can just place

a bet using your phone many young africans who are unemployed have fallen into the temptation of earning money over night simply by gambling but let's be honest who is the big winner in the end the gambler or the sports betting company. canonically market is a one in 5 of us in the talent market has always been aged between 18 and 4 to that 5 i don't there and then these compresses over to 80 percent of the gambling market and the reason why we go with a population that's most of the countries it's the internet penetration lit in the mobile penetration admitted good another fact about has made the kenyan market grow very fast is impressive so there embezzlement model is able to make 1000 people that have been recently. the reason why 76 percent of the

betty in this country is because over 80 percent of the option in this country isn't employed and they're the majority so if i met you for an employer and then you see a bitching like budgeting that if i bet i'm going to make some money and become rich but then even the few people who use them probably end up with bigger issues that part makes me very very worried when i see a project that was done by a government company may they say it's not our loss i don't think we need betting money in anything in this country and then the government that's what it companies 4050 percent there are many good or particular cause going to we have to bet him the money can go towards that the sports stadiums i think what they should do is stop stealing from the community by encouraging betting among young people don't even have jobs. and the governments are not done bit in companies without giving us an opportunity

of getting provides some sort of hope you can win that money if you win you not need to still be bonded more people would result because only one is money and the government doesn't provide such opportunities out with you all in all a lot of the. opportunities that you know what i. elastic were. the biggest amount i have lost i once won 14000 shillings in withdrew 7000 and left a balance of 6700 in my account so that's the only amount that trust me when i lost on that day drunk all the money i had was i was angry. in never suddenly. and you know. many. that is

a lot of money before you hustle and such money done a lot for instance i spent 100 shillings a day for my mil's so 100 times started that is 300-6700 shillings that translates to 2 months and some days this is. so losing this money hard at that point i decided i was done with betting but you know how ideas you stop at night. and you nuke and. cycle repeats. 6 that we just phone or sylvia there's nothing to do so what remains is that when you are brought up in the ghetto if you cannot depend on talent it is crime it is not crime will have to start a business in the business not picking up the only option that remains and this fails when the reality is the drinking that because you cannot be sober when you're

poor and. if it's on betting is big enough in a company that want to invest in betting in africa this is the right step because countries countries are opening up in terms of internet and mobile that they are or believe that betting creates jobs ally what would but india's creates force hope if you're going to win some money and so you think because you're betting you're working out what you actually allowed someone to steal money from you for knowing me betting companies can force that which to everyone and betting is harmful is dangerous betting q then you kind of already mission now to make it safe for everyone. seriously i would never risk playing with my hard earned money what about you send me your opinion to a 77 x. the w dot com and now on to

a young man who is also playing with money but only because it's a vital part of a machine he has built. a few weeks ago we at the 77 per cent received a message from a professor in by men northwest and cameroon here's what the message said i'm going to read it out for you they're good sam a level 2 student of polytechnic university by men that manufactures an a.t.m. from scratch could you come and report about it well that really made us curious so we sent our reporter on to a long journey from. manda here's the 1st report in our new series called. this is the prototype of one a.t.m. made in cameroon and african made cash machines while it's a series rich of cardboard inside each time shown on and grade one all made by 23 year old engineering student derek. came by the house from the

bank without we doing morning because the machine was the machines were limited and also the mission that was there at the time wasn't really functioning with and so i saw it as a problem and i decided to do something he comes from northwestern coming like many of the cities in the country drawing cash here can become a nightmare because a.t.m.'s are so scared he did his own prototype do you think scratch material and simple electronics he's actually right is delighted the 1st time you thought you told me how you wanted to manufacture on it's a machine i simply told him young man that's not something to play a bit but if you're really serious want to do something let me see the prototype even do you see the prototype i see in him somebody was like very willing to. live it if possible. but then if a mission do not stop at the simple prototype one day he hopes to build up his own

company producing a.t.m. made in canada. looks like the a.t.m. still needs a bit of work but it definitely shows engineering potential actually derek is not the only one using innovation and creativity to create jobs now when you think of a farm you probably don't think of a place like this well some young entrepreneurs in nigeria taking agricultural business to the next level with a concept that i wasn't familiar with soil less farming we visit had their farm in a built in the south western part of the country it's a place where other young farmers are getting a glimpse of what the future of agriculture could look like. some sort of bullish seas agribusiness as the root of sustainable development and job creation the head trainer at farm lab you know good state southwest in nigeria believes

agriculture must be business minded technology driven and climate smart the 38 year old is also keen to pass on his knowledge to others. remember if you practice agriculture you will be for practice i agree business you're on the on the road to wealth so what is your i would call choice i think grandfather deeds and. ask yourself how rich was your grandpa. how rich you are no more from eyes that you know if they are not well how can they make you rich. over the past 7 years has trained over 10000 young nigerians for him agriculture is no way to make a quick buck and requires a hands on approach. on a lot of people and i realize not everybody has the amounts to pay for training now

you don't want people to going to agriculture without being properly trained if not they would waste money time with the resources so i figure out front i am setting up more farms what if i give people the opportunity to walk. at the same time so instead of looking for money to pay for your lesson fee for your land if we own all of that. for free and actually set up a form farmers like gloria oil lobby you hope to scale up their agribusiness using the hydroponic method this uses water rich in nutrients instead of soil this makes planting and harvesting possible regardless of season. why because it is less than us and till. almost as quickly not accurately will almost accurately. call only if and i say.

students built this growing patch during a one week program they learned how to set up a soil or scare a planet from nutrient laden mist nourishes the plants which makes maximum use of area and fertilizer. from an opposite principle if you follow the principle you can apply to any many plants you want to develop on your farm so for the trough system you will you want to set up the trial for the plan. and you create about the way for workers to pass through for. some sign of the farm have team are convinced solace farming could be a blueprint for sub-saharan african countries to feed themselves sustainably and profitably. with the number of students increasing daily. plans to grow his training programs across nigeria. we stay in west africa

and move on to ghana over the years the capital city across has developed into a high fashion hub now the young designers in our next report to wanted to produce fancy clothes for young customers clothes that stand out on top of that they wanted their creations to be sustainable so they used trash but he designs might not be everybody's taste but they are definitely good for the environment. passion and fun certainly go hand in hand across design label and bill is known for colorful eye catching and sustainable creations unusual for a bomb fall and his brother calvin have been a part of ghana's fashion scene for some time now and the designing signature items from waste materials like plastics and broken are is our main goal was to create

this seam effect like see jack as in stuff that people knew was full we wanted to create the same thing with their rabbit jacket like to make them have the same feel and then say is we learn as it were by a year and a half nice being going great and his team collect plastic waste littering that community and the 5 percent of $1000000.00 tons of plastic rubbish generated every year is recycled waste materials ok police sorted and prepared ready to be sewn. label the young designers lead the pack in creating clothes through up cycling they want to start choosing their inspired sustainable fashion. to get to a point where you step in town and everybody is wearing a dress in a town. where people. have reached their big vision.

when the coronavirus pandemic made runway shows impossible bumpus crew didn't just hang around waiting for things to change in this small studio they put together a virtual fashion event. model showcase the latest creations before they hit the shelves. bumper believed. mentorship is vital for the future generations of fashionistas. he visits schools like this to speak to children encouraging them to consider a career in fashion. i reach out to them and talk to them because i believe that even. how do you see the markets was and how they can make a living out of it and like most of them was tried to be design. today's talk already seems to have motivated several kids. right now.
