d w. sometimes books are more exciting than real life. raring to read. ah! what if there's no escape? do w literature list laundry german ma street. ah, this is deed of the news africa coming up on a program. the air we breathe is killing asked. so what should be done to tackle apaloosa across africa? in uganda's capital come pile out. evolution levels are dangerously high. so to make sure that changes one climate activist wants to see the city authorities feel very unpaid, very well and it said it filled shocking. the bays it doesn't feel healthy. oh, but how about cycling?

that's one way to windshield much key and i add we meet the woman in lagos, nigeria, who is now the gate in the city. i bite. also coming up in kenya, 70 years ago. the mile mile uprising against british colonial rule begun, but many who had tortured a yet to be compensated. one veteran tells us queen elizabeth should pay out ah, on the power of music, the son of a music icon and mighty is created 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 biggest environmental threats to the health and 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 was saved levels of pollutants in the air, pollution levels and uganda's carpets our compiler. after 7 times higher than that of you at your, recommence ugandan climate activity. he would and natalia is concerned about the air quality in her city. this 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 filled shocking. have a um, a sudden change in smell let's you can feel it doesn't feel healthy at all.

necka 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. makalya wants to solice city authorities. she accuses them of failing to come, but air pollution. she interviews us must suffer a den and never drama as a potential witness. i hope allajay induced asthma. that means that if i was in tree acting to substances in the air, i wouldn't be at my teak. i wasn't born with that law. i grew upon no more child hospitals are seeing an increase in illnesses linked to breathing bad air such as lung cancer and asthma from our data. the provider. so resume. uganda is about 12

percent. this is about 4 percentage points. i hid the general average for, for capture and the bud in actually is very high. for example, we can take these asthma, 11 percent of foot of a video do a lot of people. and we have done studies actually when you, you get a 100 a 1000 as multics. okay. and for them for one year, what recall i told on passing the us $27.00 of them with dana. yes. nicole, you once the city authorities 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 there should be more trees on the road, said leprosy in other cities abroad that help in cleaning up the air. i feel that there's an issue with our west damping sorting and collection, and that needs to be checked. but the authorities see that they don't have the money to clean up the cities here. one of the biggest problems companies lacking is

funding government. are you going to ask, what does we're willing are very, very thankful, but the big ones we have require big funding. and that's why i call upon i development partners, dorsal come in on support. you going to has dick in some states to help reduce air pollution. it has been the input of older, less environmentally friendly cars, and authorities planned to expand public transport to help de couldn't just to the city. back to the problem of emissions remains from factory fumes to widespread burning of waste. until this key polluters are effectively addressed. makalya sees that couple as it is unlikely to get any clean and re such as i agree, wait, hold on. i couple years claims. they see now was that time for cities across africa

to act and opt for cleaner energy, but many have a long way to go. the 2021. well, they are quality reports found jamila in chad, to be the most polluted city on the continent. in the previous 5 years, chats capital exceeded the view, it was guidelines for safe limits by more than 10 times. gemini is closely followed by an idea, 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 edmond sung. and yeah, i do 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 is in 2 ways. there is, you know, instead our house is in outside. instead, our house is,

it's mainly because when you think that we use for cooking and heating, you know, so when you use wood in chuckle it, which is good off it you, many of them are site is many transports and other things. now in china, 2 houses are 200 bucks. you see that 15600000 people or late one would in trouble and this is got some serious what's going on help. that's that sounds i start going and 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 up in wonder intonation alone they lost more than 5 be on you to pretty much with and that's twice the g d p already in half the g to be off, but you're going to it's going to cover going to be covered is the $2.00 to be on.

i q points that will wipe out by air pollution from our children in 2019 and on. so i mean, clearly something should be done about it. what kind of authority do so, like i mentioned about i q points, you can see that evolution doesn't affect health only it was off, it's y'all get it fixed on what housing environment in the workforce. so we had different departments that are in charge of fundraising issues. concerning the civic issues, right. so the department needs to work together and come up with clear quoting purposes, that politics it is important in the 2nd thing is we need to have better infrastructure for accessing electricity. right? so we have seen in because of the teen air pollution. so those are the 2 main thing that we really need to address. well, let me ask 1st, you're going to, for example, research has how develop that installed low cost air quality monitors and schools,

and other areas to help address evolution. is that a way to go? yes, because you'll find like one of africa, i think the, i think only 7 countries with national quality 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, community level and national, you know, 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 bullet to address all problems. sometimes is the simplest, like planting trees, planting flowers, increase all the roofs, you know when with we've done on the q, do 5 cities,

but we can also help in the air. so those are kind of the ways that we 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? try to use a few as like bio gas, natural gas, right? because you can actually generate, if you're from the village, you touch on waste, you can actually make bad guys on, but you can also need to buy it cheaper if quality, when he does, i think it was that what did he told 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 might mess when it comes to traffic, meets the woman who's choosing to ride to wheels rather than 4. feet in the rush hour traffic in lagos, drivers might be stuck in motorist misery, but cyclist is africa, vicky walker lou zips passed them on her way to work. she says, the benefits of writing a bicycle outweigh the dangerous one of mayor resist is just getting to places a 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 if i said i've been in traffic

zippy is one of a growing number of bicycle enthusiastic lagos. on weekends, she rides for fun and fitness with her club cyclotron. and as vice president, she encourages other younger writers to get on their bikes. iffy that is due so you can bet you lot of guys. i thought you was it because she's got to leg. please do. writing is fun. writing is enjoyable. we'd say good work out once was every be 0, comma is what every one who is must grant the writing ziff. he says cycling could be part of the solution to lagos, 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 it in there. there meant until the health benefits also as well. so yes,

there are more people with defeat leading to 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 didn't use africa still to come? i music with a purpose. we meet the son of the music legend in molly, singing for peace. me troubled region of fast returned 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 mile mile uprising against british colonial rule started as many as 90000 kenyans

killed or tortured more than 160000 were forced into concentration camps during the 80 s of may, him and bloodshed that prison was brutally put down by british colonial forces. so indices for king and independence. 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 of veteran we about to meet. she wants the queen to step in before it's too late. that's why i'm not matoney. what thank is one of the few surviving mo, mo, independence fight, as in kenny of britain has apologized for some abuses. but my then get, did not get that composition paid to other rebels. she's calling 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 a sensible person only and send it here one. 0 oh. 0 one is husband was stanley my thinking i cannot general in the british army. when the rebellion started in 1952, he joined them omar group and disappeared into the forest to fight for independence . she stayed in the village with their children, but soon became my targets. one well, 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 one, you can see where it was pierced with an actual wife. if you want any. madame la, 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 prisoners as forced labor to build roads and bury mo mo fighters killed in the forest. well, madly got home to the dead bodies which still up to the truck. we would bury them all day. we weren't allowed back allied before we buried them all. we would bury 6 people per gray if we had to pile them on top of each other. pamela, what, what bad 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. go now. oh, why do i go from on this? i am now joined by a poem we take. 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 many, a lay 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 claims we had an attack, there we to get compare. this is where they can have gone to take up the see sure. we, their british government, where the british government read a statement of the floor of the house of commons. whether we concluded this case and their families b, they say that what does this issue to be groups i'd, i wrote the letter to the carrier government to say this, but i cannot be closed until there is an exhaustive actor. it least of all those who we are the gain and thought generally are merely ah and then they are

names should be described on our wall and they they to should get some more dis on been dish. i use a saying, we're sorry to cut it. are you suggesting that there canaan 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 mo, get justice for the historical. he just relating to law relating to detention relating to the torch. it's like they are shy about you're getting the woods which need to be real. but you use the word sigh, which beats me and why would they be shy about addressing 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 got with the c r e i suspect. but on q dot issue is addressed. if you know who are we may get these young people who are all the r saturday said until those who line was taken away and we're never given older dish . so more lies where on the shoe 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 in your government. that is, you a needs to be directed. currently, those who are left out of the condition direct, they are pressure in frustration on the british government. it cannot walk to get on know why. well, it is government of government and i wrote a letter, you know,
