more fun for coming they want to find out who is responsible for this animal cruelty. in 3 minutes on d w. we've got some hard to explore your bucket list. corner. for some. and some great cultural mores to boot. w.h.y. do you go. to this is date every news africa on the program today africa appears to have been spared the worst when it comes to cold at 19 bats could that change the crisis in india. so what is the situation on the continent and how awesome africans are responding to the vaccine rollout also coming up. we're going to go over.

the we've seen many people think the right stuff is just like us with those over what we've got this year which may still put it down. here and revulsion among uganda's community as argument adopts a new goal which targets them and other groups. plus the charity initiative by one muslim community that made sure people struggling in the pandemic had something to put on the table for 8 celebrations. hello i'm christine one day it's good to have your company more than one day into the pandemic africa seems to have avoided the scale of devastation that covert 19 has brought to other parts of the wolves look at the numbers and you'll see what we mean just under 5000000 cases and over 125000 deaths have been recorded on the

continent in total since the start of the pandemic that come pace with a 25000000 in india for example which has roughly the same population. but the world health organization say it is no time for africans to relax this is because while cases are going down in some countries they're growing up in others to date 52 out of 54 countries have been hit by a 2nd wave of infections with the 2nd being more severe and vaccine roll out on the continent is proving difficult also causing concern a new variance of the type circulating in india and other regions. recently called an emergency meeting with african leaders to address this unfolding situation the director general tendrils embraces issued the following warning he say it is critical that none of us are complacent what is happening now in many parts of the world and happen in our africa if we let our guard down now as

we mentioned the vaccine rollout has been slow in africa with less than one percent of the population fully vaccinated but that is not the only problem as. reports from cameroon some people are still skeptical about getting a shot. just a deployed in some highways in cameroon to help fight and a visible enemy this cousin as drivers to pull over so every passenger can be screened for one thing everyone is expected to wear masks temperatures are checked and hand sanitizer their country's health ministry is hoping this will help slow down the spread of the virus especially from those traveling. this part are forced to protect people from the corona virus some here do not believe the virus exist and even though through you many through the i know willie the pig of oxy. we miss social worker think i should bill on her way to the market. the 44 year old is not

a quick denial but she's not willing to take the job in the foreseeable future but you've heard her she's a vision about the vaccine. the friend runs the friends country is my main worry why is it called the vaccine that comes to come and why is it different from the vaccine that given to us why is it a different brand that is given in china so just that it's really skate like i don't even want to tickets because it exists yes the vaccine i am not sure in this local hospital in the town of teco in southwest cameroon dr duncan is hoping to overcome people's faces and see what the movie. she's encouraging patients who have come to the hospital for treatment to also get vaccinated against coronavirus the hospital she heads provide health care 451000 people in the area

there recently started a shooting here but so far only 1000 people have come to get a job i'm sure that many of people who don't want to take is those who have never picked on those who are not. so far from here next if you see a person or you yes if you're so far from this illness you understand it's better to protect it. these hospital received 1500 doses from astra zeneca as you know from their reluctance to get vaccinated also extends the hospital stuff. office 40 have workers fewer than 10 of them have been vaccinated. so this morning they're making another drive to encourage people to take up the offer their student nurses under hospital security guard people to accept. i believe. the story when it's all.

about believe it is true because our sense of the market. at a time when doses are becoming available vassilis dancing cameron seems to be increasing misinformation is not helping and all the while the coronavirus continues to spread. now in kenya the vaccine drive is picking up pace the latest figures from the country's health ministry show 1000000000 people have received a shot off the astra zeneca seen it like many other countries on the continent pandemic has cost so many people their jobs and as you'll see in our next report from nairobi it's also aggravating other problems. with worry for terms of who. to call but. i think the government should stop closing out. if they were closing up and giving

people who would that would be good they close up with. poor people who. are people who think of the most and the crew members who are going to like parents and her mother had given me one of her movies and. we depend on their daily work and income and they're hardly. likely be a clue i cry from ensuring that they're going to education and they don't fall asleep hungry demick star that they went to bed hungry so many times that i've met curfews and rules by the police when. extrajudicial killings were disappearing says by the police perpendicularly don't become worse because of covert 19 and. i'm like using media and the dow and the other day i was not getting my medal around curfew time we were running away and the police threatened to beat me i told them don't

dare to beat me arrest me do you granma go home with. cases like this. according to local activists 167 people. who were disappeared by the police. despite the crime and political gatherings. those groups take to. the impact of the covert measures on police brutality. because you want better hospitals we want better education we want clean water we want better housing. certainly we have to interrupt the interview because the police firing tear gas canisters rocketing of. people yes they call that measures like killing them because they are not able to get food on the table they're not able to go to the hospital also right rape and crime has gone up they say the police was very intolerant towards this protest

because of the cold it was just quiet tear gas and i actually think you know my leg . is reporting from here one thing that can make people feel like they're being choked and he doesn't know how to what and you in her. heart attention and are trying to use however more worried about. her side and even when they don't even know i was just about to pour 100 killings so we get. you never think about these things the whole room click on the phone booth boy was supposed to go back to school. i needed to borrow papers books and. i can only cry to god that the boy can go to school and that idiom good can i do. as well. only happen what normal communion is in camera to him damage to.

write scripts. and you say. at the beginning of the month saying it violates international human rights supporters came to. male sexual violence against women and children but it also criminalizes prostitutes and consensual same sex relations it will only become law when president 70 science it now i'll be talking to one of the author of the bill. for dr frank morgan. the ugandan gay rights activist is deeply concerned by uganda parliament in your view. about rediscovering gay people and proposing a 10 year deal sentence for him is going to increase homophobic attacks because. we're going to. see many people being you know.

whether the. parliament 6 workers criminalized. but activists say that might force sex workers from receiving it so the support and the always from the police even when they need justice or when the of voluntarily needed to assist the authorities we do not find those. actually go unreported walking that back but. maybe i make you lie and yet you see me or you react to me and this is what happened i'm not what is not you're going to when you're in there because you're being seen as a human being in 2014 in the ugandan courts now you fired a controversial law which had been maximum sentence of life in prison for being gay in uganda. while then you'll be with just a little punishment real d b

t q i maintain that we all seem to know one we think our choice and they should be left to love each other really. for. a long period of time with anyone who lives in the world. that the lord you gave us parliament is that it mirrors the society we are most people hold to the view that being gay is immoral but free to defend doesn't that even the minority must have their rights protected. speaking to one of the main sponsors of the bill ugandan m.p. money i began by asking well why your candidate needs a sexual offenses. the sexual offenses bill is a walk about who have been pushing for 15 year as. mainly because we have got our legislation we have a lot of cases of sexual violence in our country if we look at our reports

the police reports their highest number of cases reported related to sexual violence in uganda and they've been going up it's been going up on incrementally over the as so because of that we thought that we needed to find it stronger legislation which will lead to effective prevention of sex or violence but also enhanced by nish meant and also causally did various laws that we have you know a little box to make 11 well one lobe which can do is there for reference and certainly leads to to enhance mental prevention of sexual violence in our country hon i'm a doing the bill criminalizes same sex relationships and gay people in uganda say they feel targeted by it what is your message to them well i i want to say that. uganda will change

slowly the values haven't changed. but i believe that values change society changes laws change laws are not custom store not none done they do change they only a constant thing is change in that for i want to just encourage people who find themselves as minority communities that these this is work in progress in the last a bill that was brought before the house. that was brought into the house a tad life imprisonment in the wisdom of parliament they rain started this provision although we had lifted it from another low ball we call that benaud cord act in uganda into this sick show fences bill because we're trying to consolidate several roses on this issue so when we lived in the weasel parliament parliament decided to do inside that particular clause on same sex issues and it's brought

a lot of tension in those communities about who want to set things changed and i believe that we do tie me to change that punishment has been brought to tenure and there is hope in this. yeah you know and i did it well an honorable imo doing yeah you as you rightly point out but but what is the justification for putting gay people in prison with with thieves murderers rapists people who do real harm and pose a real threats to society even if it's 10 years and not life imprisonment what is the justification. what like i say lol is part of society today they have much from the values of a certain community so they ugandan society that we have as a hell of value related to same sex marriages as prohibited i knew saying great in our constitution in the bill of rights in uganda same sex marriages are prohibited and therefore it is still part of our values are so set that has not quite

accommodated those rights and feels that every state that i mean is there i certainly appreciate that it is it is a new law but again i ask the question what is suggested vacation from a moral perspective to to put gay people in prison with with like i was saying rapists murderers people who do real harm to society are gay people a threat to ugandan society maybe as they move was a human rights defender really i understand the whole i understand the need and a standard challenge that we how however when you present a bill to parliament it ceases to be an individual below what i meant i had with the draw i do you know include anything in there for certain things that the only as a mover and therefore we collectively own it has a problem and has uganda and so that is what we have but i want to encourage the minority community is that this things gradually change previously issues on human

rights on hiv and aids were not understood as rights but now in the current times they are appreciated as rights and so rights of sexual minorities rights so steps will cause an old that will with time i believe in my country also become a force of law in some way or another so that the whole thing would be lost i focused on the nearest and i believe with time that can be dealt with. thank you very much that is the ugandan m.p. monika talking to us from kampala thank you very much man. environmentalist since i left this was an asshole province have been staging protests against a mine in their village they say the mine is losing the environment and damaging their health but at a recent demonstration they say police used extreme violence against them activists allege this is part of a passion in the country. protesting in

front of those who. were accused of using force against them. the demonstrators come sunday in bambang the community they have been protesting against a quiz you call mine for a long time what residents say the coldest on the mind is making them sick and polluting their water they also say the constant explosions crack you to work their homes and causing other damage. to the protesters the demonstrators you think if it decides. to have a lasting effect. i mean whether you will remember. about a bad path or

a conservative. woman. who hate her her life. protesters managed to hide in a nearby. private security guards to interview guests. a lot of where we would go think america and wind down our high to keep you and your. people scarf which we did only after he was let go from the local police station 2 days later. the police arrested 8 activists keeping them in custody until they were released on bail. from the right to protest project and office legal advice to protesters i think and south africa we have a problem. since of course against peaceful protests it seems that public order policing in all countries and trembles because there isn't a clear strategy on how to deal with protesters especially in mining

affected communities. a connection you know there's no clear connection between mining and nor enforcement when they activists are targeted and arrested. when contacted including mining did not comment on the incident to stop african police service s.a.p.'s to clear out in a written statement that a minimal use of force was used to disperse the only crowd saying that a police officer had been injured by a stone. some of the protesters are now facing legal action in court. people from the military come to support. the outcome. but the community says it will continue with. miley has been locked in conflict since 2012 when tensions among ethnic groups.

have been displaced in and around the country because off the into communal fighting but in one community different tribes are living together peacefully this small village of nona is a safe haven for a community of doggone who were forced to flee but the conflict that is destructing the country among them he says he didn't know a witness to many a massacre too many people have been killed in our village because of the war more time up and. that's why we're here. the christian minister his faith made him a target of continuous rates by various islamist extremist groups they posed an ongoing threat to his life he had to leave when he could no longer sustain himself and his family. since 2016 some 400 doggone families have arrived in

the village of not i can yetta. it's situated 150 kilometers southeast of bamako here they're trying to rebuild their community and finding their life far away from the conflict that's why they started registering people who came here in 2020 but the 1st dog owner arrived here in 2016. this is a citron tongo family they came here to live the father the mother and their children by sight the father practices his old professions he builds traditional carts and sets up the tents for houses in the community of nanuk and is an example of hospitality it's reminiscent of what mali was like before the conflict broke out it's moderate and welcoming. the traditional village leaders encourage and welcome new arrivals by offering each one a to hector plot of land and helping them to build their houses we have no

problem with that because we're related. the doggone our brothers. from the very 1st day that they arrived they were welcomed in the middle of. the large parts of mali remain conflict zones. as a glowing example of how people from different cultural backgrounds religions and ethnicities can live together peacefully. muslim celebration this week a festival marking the end of ramadan it's a time when families gather and. bash the pandemic as make life harder for many in one community a charity stepped in to help couldn't afford for the celebrations and our report starts with the voice of i just brain and i. think that our warm able to make something. done by their very i love them
