this is d w news alliance of from dozens of anti-government activists all arrested in belarus opponents of the regime want to bring back the mass protests that took the nation last year and d.-w. correspondent nick connelly is among those detained good clean mars deadliest day since the coup dozens of pro-democracy demonstrators are killed in the nationwide elections as the army staged a show of force. and anger on the streets of istanbul thousands of women rally

against taxes government decision to call out of a safeguarding treaty. i'm here mohamed thanks for joining us police in belarus have detained more than 100 anti-government activists and a number of leading john ists local media reports say the protest in the capital was small and isolated but organizers are hoping to kickstart mass demonstrations which dominated headlines last year the movement began with the hardline president and xander look a shame co claimed victory in a disputed election in august. now among the journalists detained by the authorities is d w correspondent nick connelly he joins us live now from men so nic tell us more about higher doing and also what happened today.

i'm fine i ended up losing 5 hours of my day compared to the liberation journalists i'm in a very privileged position having my media company behind me having the german embassy on my side journalists here in belarus are routinely sent to jail for long terms to journalists of beltz at an exile channel that works in poland are in jail for 2 years for essentially doing a stream a live stream of approaches back in the autumn another journalist has been sent to jail for 6 months for revealing that a protester who lost his life was not drunk as the authorities have claimed so that is reality here in belarus in 2021 of those big purses last year which some were kind of festive atmosphere at times people with their kids their pets really rude seemingly relaxed and willing to kind of make their presence felt very different atmosphere very different reality here now as you mentioned that the opposition is trying to rekindle that spirit and last year after the cold months as spring comes

trying to kind of bring people back out onto the streets but we have seen an unparalleled crackdown handler since then people being sent to jail for having flags opposition flags on their balconies or even organizing chats when neighbors talk to each other about politics all of that is something that can get you in jail and i was just out wearing my blue journalist vest was trying to delay things trying to take a few shots and within about 2 or 3 minutes of me starting to film i found myself in the back of a bus being taken to a police station without any explanation of what it is they claimed i had done so just the clarity you want to give an explanation as to why you were. this is extraordinary thing i think they were kind of secretly looking to find some kind of infringement on my part to see if i may be forgotten some part of the bureaucracy that is part of life here because this is a country where the state is. looking for things to basically.

get you in a difficult position over and when they realize my papers were in order that i hadn't heard station they were seemingly little surprised and all disappointed the question is even critics journalists which there are many lots of foreign media have lost their origination since the summer and most independent local media are now working without official restraint which means that essentially that jail is often a game for the police here in dollars even a pretty people like me are going to be arrested soon as we leave is journalism even possible in this country is journalism defacto bijan professional they're not willing to say that yet i'm here in my apartment speaking to you from from my living room is that is as far as they're willing to go that's the big question that they're not answering but for now it's a very difficult situation on the other hand you know in a situation where people have smartphones and where people do film stuff from their windows out of the window of

a bus i was detained on thursday and that was filmed by someone who saw me in my blue journalists is really being put into another bus and that really did the rounds within a few minutes the question is how much they did she by trying to do this yes they can put pressure on us but eventually those pictures you know all right well that's kind of the life process and men who was detained for several hours. after are following those demonstrations there in dollars we'll see how that story develops a couple of days nic thank you so much and stay safe. well dozens of protesters have been killed and me and more military leaders put on a show of strength for armed forces day a general has wanted demonstrators that they risk being shot in the head if they take to the streets hundreds of people have died pro-democracy rallies began last month military coup. those who came out to protest knew they were risking their lives the army said as much before saturday's protests against me and mass military

coup across the nation soldiers opened fire killing dozens of protesters many shot in the head this footage shows security forces beating an unarmed man unconscious it's been one of the deadliest days since protests began a show of force as the military hold the parade in the capital not theodore thousands of soldiers flanked by rockets and tanks jointer leader on he on condemned the protests as terrorism and again promised there will be democratic elections. as soon as the state of emergency is over there will be free and fair elections and duties will be returned to the state. but no date has yet been set protests have not let up since the military coup began at the beginning of february demonstrators are demanding the release of imprisoned civilian leader unsung sochi. hundreds are dead thousands imprisoned

me this side is backing down in this brutal power struggle. well we spoke to david grossman the journalist following the situation from kuala lumpur he sent us this update. there's no question about it that this is an army at war with its own people in e.m.r. i mean there are reports credible reports of more than 90 people killed today so we could be looking at the death toll the temps more than $400.00 total since the military coup was staged on february 1st so many of these people shot in the head i mean the warning came on state media about the possibility of demonstrators being shot in the head today will they been doing that for weeks protesters have been getting shot in the head so many an armed civilians dead at the hands of the country's security forces this is part of the military plan to just terrorize the civilian population just like me are who doesn't past have done well this new and

is doing the same thing not only with the number of people that they're killing on the streets in their homes but they're just terrorizing them with nighttime raids i mean i've spoken to people mi amor this week who tell me they are terrified every time they hear a knock on the door and sometimes it's not a knock on the door sometimes it's a door being kicked down and security forces rate you see people who are in custody the security forces wounded people without weapons clearly in custody no way to fight back and yet they get beaten by the security forces sometimes people get taken away by the security forces and they turn up dead the next day it is just terrorizing the civilian population the generals of me i am are out for the reason and to protect the fortune that they've amassed over decades to this country's natural resources to the businesses they control so many of the people in the population live in poverty these generals are millionaires and they're trying to protect their regime let's take a look at the stories making headlines around the world and least 8 people have been killed and more than 20 were injured when

a building collapsed in the gypsy capital cairo rescue. survivors trapped under the rubble. french energy giant to toe tell has suspended its gas operations in northern mozambique this comes after an attack near one of its sites security sources say several people died when an armed group seized the town of palma hundreds of people have been trying to flee since then. with gyptian authorities can't say when the container ship blocking this was canal will be refloated 9000 tons of ballast have been removed from the evergreen the vessel has been stuck for 5 days hundreds of ships are waiting outside one of the world's busiest shipping waves. of thousands of women have marched in istanbul to protest against the turkish government's withdrawal from an international treaty on abuse the istanbul convention was championed by turkey 10 years ago now with uncle

has withdrawal turkish women say their safety is being jeopardized and they want the move reversed but. we're not afraid of you and we will not comply shot the women at this demonstration in istanbul. that protesting against what they see is the government acting against women. good you know i think the number of women being murdered is growing we've hit absolutely rock bottom they should be talking about how best to finally implement the istanbul convention but instead they just dropped it it's unbelievable you know. despite a dramatic increase in femicide in recent years turkey has pulled out of the convention the international treaty is intended to protect women and sexual minorities from abuse. president richard bedouin withdrew in a surprise decree that he shrugged off accusations from legal experts and opposition groups that only the turkish parliament can make that decisions. our

decision is final just like back when we entered into the agreement we're not leaving it no one else should get involved. in this and. analysts believe the outer one is playing to ultra conservative elements and careers of fishel reasoning the convention supposedly normalizes homosexuality undermining turkish values opponent say out of one does not speak for the rest of the country they want the government to rejoin the treaty. demesne feel unsafe when they walk home alone at night no we have to be afraid we're saying no to the system. women's groups say that pulling out of the treaty sends a completely wrong signal to violent offenders. all to sport now and then formula one a red bulls max 1st step and starts in pole position at this season's opening wrong tree in the train he finished an impressive 4 tenths of a 2nd ahead of world champion doris hamilton of missing eighty's and the finishing

driver valtteri bottas that starts and that. match 1st up and of red bull had a great week of practice runs and he topped it off with a masterful performance on the track in bahrain and. first stop and begins this year's campaign much the same way he finished 2020 when he took a poll in our dobie he then went on to win that race. yeah the whole week so far i think the cars being working really well it's just been really enjoyable to drive the course with the wind changing a lot around every session is not easy to set up the car but it all worked out perfectly in cold fighting so yes calls very happy with her position. defending world champion lewis hamilton of mercedes just couldn't catch up with the mix of the brits hopes to be the 1st formula one driver to win 8 world titles he's currently tied at 7 with german legend mikhail sumach. now

full view is in europe so forget that the clocks do go forward by an hour as we move from saturday to sunday and from winter and to summit time and while on the subject this lets me samantha with a special interest in time posse. some people have partners children or pets for company secrets that pot is crazy about clocks. around 300 in 65 of them. but who has time to count most people might be taught by the constant wall of noise not. as a minute once you can get my clocks of the love of my life and i love them above all else in the evening other people take sleeping pills so they can sleep while i sit in my comfy chair turn everything off look at my clocks listen to the ticking and watch the hands moving and then i feel so calm and relaxed i can go to bed and

sleep soundly. having a massive collection of time pieces requires plenty of patients not least the round the clock cleaning effort but so too the painstaking business of resetting them twice a year for daylight savings. back in the day when i was still a bit hectic i used to have cloth parties i invited friends around between 2 and 3 am we changed all the clocks but that was when i was young and beautiful you'll never do it all on the market this concert i know. no one to help you has to get started on the job 5 days before the clocks change their all time which for. now watching the w. news has a reminder of our top stories this hour. in belarus have arrested dozens of anti-government activists and journalists as well as correspondent make money with

among those detained. you're watching news from and then you can find much more news now at 530 w dot com for the latest news and analysis on the video but up next it's a high tech magazine. living in the digital age. thanks for watching on the east. they've been robbed of their soul that's what a people experiences when their heritage is taken from them. countless cultural riches were brutally stolen from africa and carted off to europe by colonialists. each artifact has blood on it from the rooms that have yet to heal.

what should be done with the stolen north from africa. this is being hotly debated on both continents. the stolen sword on t.w. . a black and a white hand each holding the same device for facial and image recognition software these photos maybe interpret it quite differently just how race is ai autopsy today on ship. one of the key elements of intelligence is that it teaches itself but to learn i needs to be fed with massive amounts of data and that data is collected by humans and that's key the way i operate and the conclusions it draws dependent on the data

sets it has to work with here's an example of how things can go wrong those 2 nearly identical images were presented to google's cloud vision image recognition software the shocking result the temperature gun in the wide hand was identified as a monocular a bit strange perhaps but an understandable mistake you might say about the same object held in the dock skinned and was identified as a handgun google has since apologized. and has removed the label gun from its system but is that really enough to counter grace's assumptions made by its algorithm black people and people of color in particular often suffer from discrimination by ai systems as the new american documentary coated bodies reveals during my 1st semester at mit i got computer vision software that was the post to track my face didn't work until i put on this white mask i'm thinking all right what's going on here is that the lighting conditions is that the angle at which i'm

looking at the camera or is there something more in 20 joy we need was one of the 1st computer scientists to reveal that systems are racist the documentary quoted by staring said by shalani can tell you tell us your story. the film explains why i systems are racist many of the algorithms used in the i software are developed and tested by teams that consist mainly of white men their view of the world is reproduced in the software and they're less likely to notice what is discriminatory and biased the systems are fed doesn't made up mostly white people as a result the technology ends up less accurate when it comes to people of color. the media that's the most diverse the data that's fed into these ai system as the better it can identify a variety of people and i mentioned i can but the bias goes even deeper and begins

even before the does it sets are created. this thing mid-air hardware on. point it starts with the hardware which was originally designed for use in cameras and movies so it was designed with white men and minds and so on the light senses the way the devices are calibrated infrared technology developed in recent decades they were. all designed with white skin in mind and with how light reflects on white skin or they ignore the fact that people have many different skin colors which also reflects light differently the least and that's. that's why tweaking the algorithms isn't enough a more fundamental change is needed. clues in dimension the decent people using these technologies are key here in other words while all of us at the end of the day what's being programmed is not the only factor i mean what also matters is

how we interact with our technology and what data we feed into it that's what we're missing of we're missing that fundamental debate about social inclusion and exclusion about discrimination and how biased permeates our society with the idea of vetting team and so on in this community. continuing her fight i mean her findings public even appearing before the u.s. congress. she's also the founder of the augur rhythmic justice league which is working to create less bias a more equitable artificial intelligence when it comes to equality we still have a long way to go especially when algorithms on involved algorithms also used an online search engines the most obvious example is google's image search helps us navigate the world if you're looking for information on something or want to see what someone looks like you'll probably start googling them but

a recent experiment conducted by the w. shows that google's agger rhythms often lead to skewed results searching for women of specific nationalities online is a harsh lesson in stereotypes searching for brazilian women yields young women in suggestive poses but german women brings up many politicians and actually the church of el analysis team used google's very own ai at cloud vision safes to analyze thousands of images. this image processing software was designed to spot sexualized content google uses it to flag suggestive images. search for women from dominican republic brazil and up to 40 percent of section is suggestive for american women it's just 5 percent and for german women 4 percent. this has a major impact on how women are seen and treated and women from certain countries are especially vulnerable such for ukrainian women for example and 61 of the top

100 results are links to dating sites websites with sexualized content. algorithms are key to our data driven and automated world the images they deliver can be shockingly biased racist and sexist but for data scientist catherine it's not really the algorithms that are to blame algorithm learns because we train it using machine learning so either whether it's deep learning with a neural network so to speak or it's shallow machine learning where feeding it data and were asking it to form an opinion and of course when that opinion is based on data that has unfair treatment of groups then the algorithm or very much learned in china is being used to identify specific ethnic groups take the telecom giant while away which took part in testing and we go software that could identify faces

of the countries we got minority that's according to. a u.s. based company specializing in video surveillance software as accuracy rate is estimated at about 70 percent is reportedly being used across china so is ethnic discrimination being automated. this camera system tested by wa way is designed to use to identify people of specific ethnic cities it was too. range on data sets that we teach it to identify age and gender and ethnicity. in the system was trained on data sets containing people from china as we go minority and non weakness to teach it to use facial features to determine if the city what's even more disturbing is top china plans to use it when the ai system blank someone is a member of the reagan minority it can trigger we go along and notify the police.

in the shin jiang region of north western china security forces have implemented a massive surveillance network designed to clamp down on the weak and minority hundreds of thousands of readers have been detained in so-called reeducation camps . officially chinese companies have denied that their testing software is being used for commercial purposes but internet giant alibaba has already admitted that its cloud division has developed discriminatory ai software and even greater concern is the fact that it's cost them a step by step instructions for how to use the software to target we've got muslims paired with mobile phones and surveillance cameras the software enables users in china to send images of people to its cloud service to flag them as suspicious we guess in other words users as opposed to keep feeding the facial recognition with data that enhances racial targeting that's truly scary tools like the alarm show that can be used to target ethnic groups says karen young an expert in artificial

intelligence and human rights very powerful systems increasingly being used to sought score and organize people. population what level and even though we don't see that kind of drastic action being taken in. western industrialized societies there are an increasing number of social. scoring people particularly in the criminal justice system to make predictions based on algorithmic assessment. off the kinds of risks. to public safety in the u.s. african-americans and asian americans where up to $100.00 times more likely to be mis identified by facial recognition systems than. that's according to a study commissioned by the u.s. government falls maps can lead to all sorts of problems like a mistake in the rest but these systems are growing increasingly popular and not just in the u.s. that could have a serious impact on society says karisma beliefs from the institute for ethics at

oxford university. extremely. extremely unfair to take one example in 2016 microsoft launched its teach both designed to reply to twitter users in less than a single day of exposure to. twitter had taught it to parrot sexist racist anti-semitic and a sense of common. wire such bias in every systems being unleashed on society to berlin based artist and researchers. are exploring that question. that the data sets being fed into these ai systems are always so the systems and that conservative an outdated. to predict and. to. underscore what to

expect in the future. to expect them to be. anything different than the data. it's amusing as. can be very i guess anyone they deem to have the wrong gender friends. and you may never realize. you may have been. because of your. personal you'll never know about it. you may have. a problem it's truly a massive problem an easy way to visualize how ai works is to imagine you baking a cake if you use the wrong gradients the cake just won't taste good similarly if the data used to train ai software is poor and not representative of the diversity found in society then it won't work properly except that here we're not talking

about a cake but more dramatic consequences and right now this poses a greater threat to certain people like people of color and it's not the technology that is to blame i don't think that we should be working to make the world this is something for my opinion we need to raise awareness for how ai systems can have a racist and discriminatory impact so before we adopt the more widely they need to be rigorously tested according to ethical criteria what about you have you ever been negatively affected by algorithmic systems or do you believe that you are not really affected by them but it's not on you tube facebook or d w dot com for now take care and you next time.

visionaries. with a dream. job graduates have uganda's social innovation academy. and the idea is. this is. what i'm doing this. for. you. these are not the mountains of georgia garbage everywhere. not only says enough already the environmental activist and her fellow campaigners travel around the archipelago educating and advising the boy doesn't mean cleaning up that they are playing inside the top of trash. bins 30 minutes on t w. we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. going

no good here in kampala uganda and yet a week of i load in store for you so do stay tuned and until the show here's a quick preview of what is coming up shortly. simple life is modest we see how it ends in kenya it's protecting both elephants on the forest. we meet an artist in ghana please bring new life into the grounds of recycling company. and thinking be how young entertain us here in your gunda a town in the ideas into the young to. the laws of floating in water are unlovely sight bought up what declines can be something of a pissed when they turn up in the wrong places we've caught a few reports on the trouble want to hyacinth opposed to some communities now on leg also income on the local residents of course of asian it's a black man with another invested species that is causing

a host of problems there. paddling through lake also has become more of a struggle since the salvia plants altered his ecosystem sees richard. a fisherman who grew up in a small community on the shores of the lake the 1st screwing we block sunlight and depletes oxygen from the water suffocating aquatic life. the 7 year is giving us a lot of trouble. it is affected my fishing. activity long period in the past when i went out to fish i would have a good catch for me and my family by me and i thought now it's become really hard for. this morning a group of local residents from designedly have come together to clear the invasive plants from the main entrance to the lake the villages are worried it will spread

to other sections that have not yet been affected lake also is cameron's largest natural lake with a total surface area of nearly 40 square kilometers but it's now infested with what's the most all salvia nearly 40 percent of its surface is called that as it proliferates the plant also threatens the locals livelihoods. a local marine mammal comes of russian organization i'm cool regularly organizes the cleanups for 5 years now the team has been striving hard to protect the link from their grass of wheat to find a more efficient solution i was steeds to coo cam has set up a research site in the village he wants to find out if they can use a biological weapon to destroy the water a mouse on a large scale you have a political official there could be. this small bug feeds on slovenia tests from last year showed that it can completely eliminate plans cover

in a matter of months i'm cool is already negotiating its deployment with the commute government but they have been concerns in the community due to fears the bug also eats their crops. biological can crawl using this salvia weaver has been used in many countries around the world including in 15 concrete is in africa and the best example is that of santa god they were able to get rid of the outside of the male within a year using the biological control and the way this weaver works is that if specific on this sardinia and what happened after eating salvia they just died because they have not asked or twice a month the researcher makes the trip from cameroon capital young to work at the leak accompanied by colleagues and students i'm cool also collects data on the african manatee the least studied large mammal in africa they are shy by nature and

active at night so sightings are rare in order to detect the creatures location and movements to kuka muses specialised equipment including. the information gained is critical for the conservation of the grease will animals so there isn't much the same and i working so hard is because we want to save the african american which is being threatened by portraying which is illegal hunting of this species and also creating by accident capture in a fishing net their population over or raising and even especially here and it also where these threats of sort of veena has combined into the home thing making the population to even decrease crossed the conservation group regularly sends out volunteers to speak to the local community the purpose is to inform villages about the importance of put. the lake and all its natural resources including the

manatees they too are struggling to survive. and when the manatee gets caught in the net it eats up all the fish even if it's a 100. the problem is due to the fact that manatees don't have access to enough sea grass chucked out by the 7 year survey trish. many of these community members have lost their source of income because of salvina. local fishermen have plenty of incentive to do all they can to remove the plant and prevent it sprayed and they hope that aristide to. get the go ahead to introduce the tiny bug that will save the leak by devouring its pesky surface cover for. what an interesting project we know to pay a visit to some relatives of the money the elephants look at. me elephants are

amazing. to me because they. can't even this entire. forest away. let's take a look. here in a fence and other wildlife are home free without posing a pretty 2 from us and their livestock living nearby but because they are separated by an electric fence just of. a conservation and human they just the fence and oversaw its construction it's solar powered and has proved to be very reliable it such a forest in the great rift valley. we did about 43.3 kilometers and it's done now. and now with their walk we have been our is now the bench and also the sensitization to the community so that they can be able to own it

must citizen is a forest beekeeper one of many here they belong to the good community which has practiced beekeeping for hundreds of years the bees are kept in traditional wooden hives and the honey is extracted by hand beekeeping is still allowed in the forest chopping down trees and hunting are not. now i know when i come out if we took care of one of the animals in the same way they must look after their cattle or other communities into their livestock crops so we live honey and bush mitch and live here in the knowledge that this was like a farm a quiet night when you had to do this and you can call from a family. to protect the forest the indigenous community has been given land and access to water outside its use of karaoke has now turned to to

muddy the farming. for new york one of his own we don't depend on this is us anymore it used to be the kiss but at this time of the you wouldn't see any greenery here more than the ground would be patched up there with me so i was a anybody is one of the diggers changes are going to test. now it's green everywhere then vellum and has really changed there you member when meeting me came here these things are supposed to protect key areas of forest where in full feeds can as give us the product which receives support from government agencies charitable foundations and the corporate sector has proved a great success and now areas of mountain woodland in other parts of the country are being fenced as will. i know my if you. can see. forest being. spared for the animals and for and farm and so and i'm quite happy to see such an electric fence set up to protect these animals from

going out into the community. and that in turn has protected the community from damage caused by wondering why life. fences are given the forests the animals living here in the nearby communities we flew down to florida. we know in town to enter into our homes to help just today last moment after learning that took in near an artist in ghana now creates all sorts of new to fulfill in his workshop. just write songs as soon as there is no professional glass recycling sorting gonna find a way of clearing off some of the waste by turning it into other useful objects here is this week's doing your bits. we. want we want our goal differential shows. very hard.

the materials used to make this glowing molten blob came from the garbage. that. well there were. a lot of. there's a glass. gun it doesn't have a formal system for collecting and recycling waste glass so a lot ends up in landfills the only certified glass blower in west africa michael taytay works exclusively with recycled glass his craft requires a lot of patience and experience let them grow a little. a little bit of global market would push a lot of government. who commute. to work through numerous steps are required to complete each unique object which takes a makes you know wide variety of colors hatton's shapes and sizes. i catch in

creations are sold in a gallery around 11 year olds each. piece is made you can give them any design in a specification and you make it and the color for you also has products. and we like the fact that he has to waste into usable that's a fun. time to ensure that sustainable glassblowing has a few cheering ghana michael taytay also teaches this traditional craft to young people in his workshop passing on his sustainable methods to the next generation of artists. and how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send this or tweet. after doing your bit. sharing your story.

pretty much the world over these are known to be industrious creatures in english we've been used to chair busy bees well like really other insects they are under threats others are for ticks or still overvoltage off kosovo is sold a new rope there cause a vision is still working to protect a unique not sure how that one with important pollinators ple a key role. it's usually men who wear this kind of outfits in class of a they are hardly any female beekeepers in the country sheepish shiela is one of them the beekeeping season might be over but she still checks on her charges. regularly. and electric fence protects her hives from the bears that still roam this area near priestman kosovo's 2nd largest city. the shar mountains national park just to the south is

a refuge for balkan links this species of wildcat is critically endangered there are only a few dozen of them left. sheep or shall or has 150 beehives she's the boss and her husband works for her that's quite an unusual set up but it works for them. i'm positive one in the all we like to do things systematically. i start from one and. my husband starts from the other. we like to compete. it's kind of a game to see who can check more beehives. today it looks like a tie. once the inspections are done charlotte takes care to extinguish the coal in her smoker which is used to come the bees a forest fire could have disastrous consequences. she doesn't have any trouble

finding buyers for her organic honey. it sells for twice the price of the honey sold at street side markets be keeping sheep breeding and she's making are an important part of the economy in kosovo the youngest and smallest nation in the balkans. shallow went abroad to study organic farming methods. nowadays environmental activists come to see her to learn how she applies organic methods to be keeping. the aim is to raise awareness across kossovo of eco friendly farming practices. i attended a workshop in germany i learned a lot about animal welfare which nobody here knows anything about i'm now giving courses to pass on this knowledge i hope people will come to realize we have to protect. and that includes b.s. they are so important for the environment. nature conservation can be an

uphill battle. in kosovo and neighboring albania hydro power plants are still widely considered eco friendly way to generate electricity but building more of them alongside illegal timber felling would further shrink the habitats of endangered species such as bess lynx and wolves. sheepish alice says most of the people don't realise what is going on they're just not aware of the issues but she wants to change that. we have to pay more attention to our natural environment especially in the national park this also affects my business. if forest clearance and everything that goes along with it is allowed to go on i will eventually lose my beliefs. because if they gained independence in 2008 it's only natural she says that it will take a while for such

a young country to sort things out she. remains optimistic. back to africa now to meet a man here in the large area who believes that farming should be both sustainable and profitable something or bully has declared war on the concept of soft cisterns farming with farmers plant a small plot of land and just about make ends meet a few years ago he launched a training campaign aimed at revolutionizing small scale farming with hydroponic agriculture. samson or bullis sees agribusiness as the root of sustainable development and job creation the head trainer at farm that in a good state southwestern 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 that if you practice agriculture you will be poor

practice business you're on the on the road to wealth so what is. grandfather and. how rich was your grandpa. how rich you are no more from eyes that you know if they are not well how can the poor sister 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 to go into agriculture without being properly trained if not they would waste money time wasting 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
