but how about cycling? that's one way to windshield much key and i asked you meet the woman in lagos, nigeria, who is now the gate in the city? i by also coming up in kenya. 70 years ago, the mile mile uprising against british colonial rule begun. but many who had taught it a yet to be compensated. one veteran tells us, queen elizabeth should pay up. ah, on the power of music, the son of a music icon and mahdi is creating his own path by singing for peace in a region that continues to see fighting with i am eddie micah junior and you are welcome to the program. at pollution is the single big environmental threats to the health and well being of people around the

world. that according to the world health organization, in 2019 more than a 1000000 people across africa were killed from air. pollution is the 2nd leading cause of death across the continent. after 8 african cities regularly brig international guidelines, perceived levels of pollutants in the air, pollution levels, uganda's, capital, kampala, after 7 times higher than that of you at your recommence you can them claim it. activist. he would, and natalia is concerned about the air quality in her city. the smoke from binding waste traffic fumes and industrial emissions have made compello, one of africa's most polluted cities that are here, feel very unclean, very polluted. it fills talking have a um,

a sudden change in smell that you can feel it doesn't feel healthy or lack of will you runs, you get a group of the climate change movement. freight is for future. she is known for speaking up for the environment. but now she is taking action makeover. you wants to sue the city authorities, she accuses them or failing to combat air pollution. she interviews us must suffer then and there wilma, as a potential witness, i hope and la g induced asthma. that means that if i was entree acting to substances in the air, i would in be athletic. i wasn't born with that law. i grew up a normal child. hospitals seeing an increase in illnesses linked to breathing bad air, such as lung cancer and asthma from our data. the provide answer resume,

new gun is about total percent missed about 4 percentage points. i said the general advocate for the recapture and the money enough for that is very high. for example, we do take these as i live in the past until 4 to 5000000 due to a lot of people. and we have done studies equity when you get a 100000 as metrics. ok. and for them for when you know what to call, i told on passing yes. prince of all of them with the day in the yeah. nicole, you, once the city of reach is to do more to talk with a problem where they have the power to regulate the amount of cars that are coming in and out of the city that are contributing so much to the air pollution. i feel like that should be more trees and the roadside proceed and other cities abroad that help in cleaning up the air. i feel that there's an issue with, with damping, sorting on collection, and that needs to be checked. but the soon as you see that they don't have the

money to clean up the cities. they're one of the biggest problems companies lacking funding government. all you're going to talk to does bill when i got very, very fun. but the big funds we have require up big funding. and that's where the developments putnam also come in and support you. going to stick in some states to help reduce the pollution. it has been the importer of older, less environmentally friendly cars, and authorities planned to expand public transport to help the coach had to be the most polluted city on the continent. in the previous 5 years, chats capital exceeded that the view it was guidelines for safe limits by more than 10 times gemini is closely followed by an idea. i mean oil, refining city or target and residents of saddam's capital have been told to keep their windows closed and wear a mask when to go outside. let's talk more about air pollution across africa with

edmund sanger. now, do you have our mental scientist at northumbria university in new castle, hello, and welcome say, now some of the most air polluted countries come as no surprise. but how did indiana in chad become the west? apple it's it's, it's in africa. ellison autism toys. there is no, you said our house is in outside. instead our house is is mainly because when you think that we use for cooking and heating you know, so when you use wood in chuckle is a suit which is good off it you. many of them are cited, many transports, and other things. now in china to house is out of 100, access to electricity is 15600000 people or late one would in chuckle, indices got some serious consequences on health. that's, that sounds are staggering. now we know that air pollution killed at least 1000000 people across africa into, into 19 you said before that if it is not addressed,

results would be catastrophic. how much more catastrophic could it get? did you know, gonna it pop in wonder intonation alone they lost more than 5. be on you to pretty much with, and that's twice did you did the already in how did you did the off chart, but you're going to it's going to cover what kind of be covered is the 2.2 to be an i q points that were wiped out by air pollution from our children in 2019 and on. so i mean, clearly something should be done about it. what kind of her it is do so like i mentioned a few points, you can see that evolution doesn't affect health only. it was off with policy environment in the wake forest. so we had different departments that are in charge of fundraising issues concerning the city issues. right. so this department needs to work to come up with clear coin put it. is that

what it is in a position in the 2nd thing is we need to have better infrastructure for accessing electricity, right? so as we have seen in because of the air pollution. so those are the 2 main things that we really need to address. well, let me ask you kind of, for example, research has how develop that installed low cost air quality, what it says in schools and other areas to help address pollution. is that a way to go? yes, because you find is like one of africa. i think the, i think only 7 countries of what national equality, monitoring out of 54 countries. that is really a situation that we don't know the extent of the program. so the, the, the innovation that are coming out for you got that one to help the whole continued so that we can know what is the situation. it's community level and nationally or

for the normal argument has been bad. it is expensive to tackle air pollution. but you see nature bees that mitigation strategies are viable alternatives. tell us more about these alternatives. so technology is not always the super pull it to address. all problems sometimes is the sink lifts like planting trees, planting flowers, increase all the roofs. you know, when we pick chris fifty's, we bought don't only get 5 cities, but we can also help in the air. so those are kind of the ways that you can use ok now away from the role of authorities. what can someone like me do to contribute to a clean air? so the 1st thing that i would really recommend is we need to move away from losing wood and chuckle for heating and cooking. right? to try to use a few like bio guys. natural gas, right? because you can actually generate, if you're from the village, you touch on west, you can actually make bad guys on, but you can also need to buy more cheaper. it,

when he does, i think it was that what did it tell us? then again, if i say plant trees grow flowers in your house because sometimes the beautiful things are the best sort of scenes. ok, nice way to wrap that up, edmond sung, and now do our mental scientists. thanks for your time. now to breathe, cleaner air, we need less pollution, right. as we've had traffic congestion is contribution to poor air quality across africa. but some people are trying to make a change. let's take you to leggers in nigeria, africa, most popular city, and certainly one of the continents, like mass. when it comes to traffic, meets the woman who's choosing to ride to wheels rather than 4 beats in the rush hour traffic in lay goes, drivers might be stuck in motorist misery. but cyclist is africa codes if

he walk hulu. zips passed them on her way to work. she says the benefits of writing a bicycle out. we did dangerous. one of mail resist is just getting to places in bit quicker. so there's a lot of traffic. there is no real yet, so was the next best option apart from walking or running, which will get you there quickly and cycling. and is if i said that been in traffic . ziff, he is one of a growing number of bicycle enthusiastic lay goes on weekends. she rides for fun and fitness with her club cyclotron and as vice president, she encourages other younger writers to get on the bikes iffy, and that is very so you can bet you lot of guys. i thought you was it because she's got the leg resume right in his voice. writing is enjoyable, it's

a good walk out it once was every b zamiah's will every one who is most grant, the writing ziff. he says cycling good bit parts of the solution to lay ghost transport woes. people i beginning to embrace, it's the idea. it's $31.00, right? you're, there's no cost of feel. we're not put this in the environment until the health benefits also as well. so yes, there more people with v lead in the way on her bicycle. she set an example question for cycling. as an alternative, and one of africa's busiest cities. ah. you're watching did of the news africa still to come? i music with a purpose. we meet the sun of the music legend in molly,

singing for peace, me troubled region. at 1st we turned to britain's queen elizabeth the 2nd, who celebrating her platinum jubilee after 70 years of service. many in kenya, however, i would say it's a celebration of this service to them. it was around 70 years ago in 1952 that the mama uprising against british colonial rule started as many as 90000 canyons killed or tortured. more than 160000 were forced into concentration camps, drew an 80 as of may him and bloodshed. that prison was brutally put down by british colonial forces. so in the seeds for king and independence in 1963. after years of fighting for justice, there was a breakthrough in 2013 more than 5000 kenyans who had been subjected to torture or other forms of mistreatment in the 1950s. one compensation from the british

government. but thousands of claims are still pending and some have never benefited . like a mom are veteran we about to meet. she wants the queen to step in before it's too late. rod at brian la maloney with anger is one of the few surviving mo, mo, independence fight, as in kenya of britain, has apologized for some abuses, fotz my then get, did not get that compensation paid to other rebels. she is calling with the queen for help before it's too late. so but while egg let elizabeth bring what belongs to me, that's what i want to say. no middleman in between, let the compensation come directly to me. she should look for sensible personality and send it here one. 0 ok. oh oh. oh, with on his husband was stanley my thinking i cannot general in the british army. when the rebellion started in 1952, he joined them o mild group and disappeared into the forest to fight for independence. she stayed

in the village with their children, but soon became a targets one walk. when british soldiers came looking for him, i said i hadn't seen him for days. i refuse to tell them in forming on fighters was like signing her own death warrant. she still bears this cause of what the british did to try to make her talk when they smushed her leg with a knuckle. neat, was carried hard to her husband in the forest. he had jumped out. he nursed my wounds, laughing, even my legs. if you look at this leg, well no one, you can see where it was pierced with an actual whys if you want. any madam law. she spent yes in and out of the forest, supporting the mo, mo, fighter louis cooking for them, hiding from the british. but she was caught and held in an internment camp in the british, used the prisoners as forced labor to build roads and bury mo mo fighters killed in

the forest. well, madly got home to the dead body, which still up to the truck. we will bury them all day. we weren't allowed back inside before we buried them all. we would bury 6 people per gray if we had to pile them on top of each other. why why, why, brad? that book has situation did not improve much with kenya's independence. her son wonky received no education in the forest or the come. they did not get one of the land fossils offered to other rebels by their new kinder government by end. without a lawyer, they missed out on the compensation, britain paid to $5228.00 mo mo, fight. as in 2013 maloney's husband handley never emerged from the forest. she pins her last hopes on queen elizabeth. now again, let her give me just compensation because she's the ruler. let her send it to me or while the guy and let it not be given to any one else. for me, i am glad i owe

a grab bar number though. he man, oh man, right? yeah, from on this i am now joined by a poem, witty. he was a mom, our veterans toya who fought for thousands to get compensation from britain. hello sir. thanks for joining us now. we just had this sad story of him, our mile veteran, who was still demanding compensation from britain. but how feasible is that? they are very me a lie chemo ha air beyond the 5000 level, god call ins issue. and they are cries for justice really. alas, unfortunately, that settlement was limited to the 5000. ready claimed we had an attack. there we to good compare. this is for they can have gone to take up the see sure. we, their british government, where the british government read us take lent of the floor of the house of commons

. whether we concluded this case in their fire elsewhere b, they say they're wanted this issue to be cursed. and i wrote the letter to the carrier government to say that is but i cannot be closed. i'm due, there is an exhaustive, accurate list of all those we have the gain and torture de leon, millie. ah, and then they are names should be scribed on our wall and they, they to should get some orders on been dish. are you satisfied with the sorry to cut it? are you suggesting that they're kinnon government is just not doing enough it can have government appears to be shy other than platitudes. they are not dig in steps to ensure that they're more low, get justice for the historical, he just relating to law relating, detentions,

relating to that talk. it's like they are shy about you're getting the wood, which need to be of you, but you use the word sy, which beats me and why would they be sy, about address, and a case of its own people. and because where these veterans, where the t anywhere been torture, they are lines we have to get over. i'll give them to collaborate as home gas. it sounds of cheese and they also part of k. this is their dilemma that they could have gotten it by g r e, i suspect, but on a q dot issue is addressed if you know who are we mortgage these young people who are all the r saturday said. and so those who land was taken away, and we are never given a cauldron dish. so therefore lies where on the shore dazzle the clear. do you get

the feeling that there's enough pressure within kenya to make the government act on this? the pressure is not directed if they can get government that is way needs to be directed. currently, both we are left out of the call been dish direct. they are pressure and frustration of the british governor. it cannot walk because only a walk when it is government of government and i wrote a letter, the low cost of $20.00 g, specifically pointing out that this is a way to bring these to our closure. i do believe i just use to these better out or truly dissolved just bomb with a former mom, our veterans lawyer. thank you. sometimes the best way to send a powerful message is through music. and many molly are well that the west african
