11:32 pm
the u. k. wants to prevent migrants coming to its shores through unauthorized routes. so it's threatening any such potential arrivals that bill be expelled to rwanda. in return, rwanda is getting a $150000000.00, and a chance to promote itself as a hospitable haven. rwanda is offering asylum seekers up to 5 years, stay with access to education and support human rights group say the u. k is shunning its responsibility to grant protection to asylum seekers, sending them to a country with a questionable human rights record. this is all wrong. this deal for so many different reasons, the precedent that these creates, he's catastrophic for a concept that needs to be shared like asylum of a 1st deportation was supposed to take place this past tuesday. but the european court of human rights issued an injunction,
11:33 pm
a kept that plan from taking off. it was a last minute intervention. the 1st plane bound for kigali was 7 asylum seekers on board. never left the tarmac a set back, but the british government is undeterred. the home secretary confirmed that preparations for future flights were already underway while offering. but even from within ronda, there is criticism of the to put ation deal the going to keep the, the migrant. so he sent back to the starting point because rhonda is not the country that respects human rights. there is no democracy, they fled the country and they're sent to a country where they will find themselves. they see the same situation. what i mean was it was you rhonda already hosts more than a 100000 refugees from other african countries piece and the only fled the civil war and south to don. 8 years ago. he was moved here last year by the united nations refugee agency. but doesn't want to stay. i just want to go ahead.
11:34 pm
it is it'll walk in and i will just go back to normal statements. he feel sorry for the migrants who will be sent to rwanda from the u. k. because they will have to apply for asylum here. the u. k. g of many, they're my missy to them. you that human being i, you live. you cannot tell them. go on to stay here or go on buddhism, not because if they feel better in you, ok, you crazy, but a for little it's not a message. the british or the rwandan government want to hear this hostile in kigali is ready to how's the 1st migrant sent under the new deal. it's general manager said it was not a prison despite tied security measures and opinion that may not be shared by some of the new arrivals. let's bring in charles and to share bandy freelance journalist based in kigali rwanda. charles, it's good to have you on the program. now,
11:35 pm
what is rhonda offering these people deported from the u. k. as in what the one that is? not a sailor, they are fighting them 1st up. dr. sadden will be your fun. you. those who are willing to stay, you know, we're fund since you've sunday comes to cynthia be given the skills so that they can read that word into society and or for jobs that are given the other one. okay, so what about for a one day it's, it's going to receive some money from the u. k. a 120000000 pounds. but why else is rwanda doing this? apart from the money is about from the money. 120 meter bonus for this thought that was like some sort of assigning fee, same young woman fee. the money that was mentor, that is meant for development. but as she said what, but the is much more mind that he's going to be involved money. the money that he's going to be used to it for the most is there will be staying in the one of the, i think them from one of the associations that has been one of you emotions all the
11:36 pm
units like i guess the survivors. so apart from that, the money orders order, so the government sees that they are doing it on a monday in the grounds, having for the most would be in the hunt having been using the bus. they believe it . oh, there were support. so what other, my grandson's that if reduce but however some other allows you to see if there were other see that you saw it being used by the government as a political tool. they are trying to do partnerships with, with either you can government the partnership, we have the one in the government. my case image was one of the country that is working together was there, which was there was sort of the my rent and the state county side of the asylum seekers program. that was the fishing cut in 3 right. now you mentioned rwanda's history when it comes to being refugees. but what is rwanda's track record?
11:37 pm
when it comes to hosting migrants and refugees? it's got into the one that was the one on 130, some of them if it is in different count. those are made it from the republican, formal and wounding. but the wonder so see if you just from off again, is that including those from my daughter goes to school and just getting and, and studying from here or so. there are some other migrants who came in the past to confirm. some of them from easily was, are comprised of each other. if you're pianos, but most of them, the phoebe of where so to get it off they minded, if there are some i talked to reason to do over okay. it's done cause they said it wasn't valuable. so i don't know how that would change for these members that have been gotten from the u. k. all right, charles de shabanni speaking to us from kigali,
11:38 pm

11:40 pm
t as withdrew from a balla and other territories in the fall region, allowing 8 convoys into the t gray region. but a palace may r t i s n says the t p l f never really left or for the less than a longer, really say we're fully withdrawn from a thought a little, but they haven't really fully left off. well, the hill that you see there are there up there now. don't is girl come back once. they have received enough food aid as a warrant? they had enough of it. they will use it that a war jojo lot. at a nearby cemetery. we meet mohammed to sane. a local health official who has helped very close to 60 bodies. among them were several children. he tells us. but alan capital, i have a heavy heart and gloves manager. i'm lost for words brigham made this has left a scar in my life. if i'll and i'll never forget, this is over to madison. but it's not just lives that have been lost. local infrastructure lies in ruins as well. without in throw that they destroyed the
11:41 pm
hospital because everything that's useful, the x ray machine, the cam lab and the laboratory. oh, they took everything and they broke the rest of the deal with and, and thought the fighting has caused a rift between the 2 communities. both now accused each other of massacres, destruction and looting. we found signs of t p. laugh actions, but tick ryan witnesses also made claims of a foreign militia aggressions. they say they targeted and killed several to grand residence before transporting several 1000 to the regional capital samira. the head of the u. n. h. c. r. 's field office in samarra confirmed that around 8000 people have been held at a government run camp meant to accommodate about 1500 people. this on a national and international standards that should not, that's, that, that's what they did in candy living human conditions. he says, among those detained air, about 1200 children, many suffering from malnourishment. we tried to gain access to the camp,
11:42 pm
but were denied by local authorities who also refused to grant us interviews. we did however, manage to hear from one of the people in the camp. he sent us these pictures. he told us via fawn that people are suffering from diseases like scabies, diarrhea, and pneumonia that there is not enough food and no medical care. he says 70 people including 5 children, have diet since december due to lack of medicines and food. no one knows when the border towns residence will return or if they will ever get to call a bela their home again. you're watching di dubliners africa still to come professional dancer and chad is helping kids get off the streets in a country where many are struggling to make ends meet. and ah, reviving hayford firebrand shoes that had been muffled by the pandemic. the attempt
11:43 pm
to bring back music from these islands, the world stage. now to a hereditary condition that threatens many lives in africa, people with sickle cell disorder produce red blood cells that are unusually shaped like crescent or sickles, as the name suggests. of these can block blood vessels and cause chronic pain on often, beth, the condition is particularly common among people with africa or caribbean background. now $300000.00 children are born with sickle cell disease each year with her on 3 quarters of those in africa. materia is the worst affected country, but there are attempts to sound the alarm as dw correspondence. only such woocommerce reports throw in blood to prevent in men's suffering, nigeria sticker, so foundation a nonprofit organization is trying to test as many blood samples as possible. so
11:44 pm
people can know their sickle cell status more declare who color or look bad, equal poor left please. and the forefront of these efforts. she's lived with sickle cell disorder for more than 60 years. it was very uh, i was always a man out of the old one then. oh, i know the infection i have to be transferred to you. my friend responded. i said, well not very well. it wasn't good. and she calls herself a sickle cell warrior breathing every day with strong support from her family and with medical care. but for disease which no easy cure. she wants to raise awareness to prevent the need for the lifelong challenges. it brings it been made with people to know because that by all the way i live a lot of people still don't know. so this community very martin calls on this
11:45 pm
family. i've been doing a lot about about 40000000 nigerians. a healthy carriers will be sickle cell g, but some are not even aware of it. it is saw that can only occur when 2 of such people have children. one informed their offspring will have sickle cell anemia which causes chronic pain and often death. many don't make it beyond the active vest day. this particular vent did now gives us up change to them. so they know again before the start date and getting married. what there do you know type it? that's what determines if you're going to be in a yes, this is exactly what more or more companies are starting to do. it's often even a decisive factor or get it together. as we hear at
11:46 pm
a wedding registrar next door annoy most the so if i met my son, my old man, if i get married, i'll know what i'm doing and how to avoid doing a latin american good clinical. in addition to that, one up with that. so free is worsened by the huge financial costs and the challenges accessing policy, health care, managerial prose. that's why the campaigners advocates know your status, the cheaper and see from message of prevention. we can also be to deli, at yogi, at people she is the chief operating officer of $54.00 gene, which is a pharmaceutical research company pioneering the specialization in african genetic material delaney. it's good to have you on the program now. less than 3 percent of genomic data are represented in research as from african population. so how much
11:47 pm
has this tiny amount hampered the search for a cure for sickle cell disorder? well, thank you. it's greatly hampered on the search for a cure and when we think about it, what's really contribution to that is the fact that we don't have much representation. when it comes to driving the science. we need more african scientists to help bridge the disparity gap when you think about driving genomics, read data research, so that we have greater participation from african science. those who look like those who are affected by the disease contributing. in addition, we need to be able to have greater investment when we talk about diagnostics and data for being able to identify the causes as well as those who need the treatment related to sickle cell disease is that lack of diagnostic build. he's on the continent that also causes delayed in disease identification as well as crucial management of sickle cell. and the 3rd area that is really important is
11:48 pm
participation. we have more patients participating, who are of african descent. that allows $54.00 companies. i 34 gene as well as the pharmaceutical industry to understanding yet better insights into the disease and therefore power in a bit of drug discovery. now there are other diseases whose cures are yet to be found to. so where does sickle cell rank in terms of priority in the world, major research labs in your body varying a point in terms of the world's research labs. i mean, most of the time we focus on infectious diseases like over 90 because obviously there's been a huge impact globally. only thing about disease burden in african, where typically research has been directed to things like h, i v t, v. malaria usually come up. but there has to be much greater focus when it relates to non communicable diseases, which is where sickle cell falls. because actually globally, that is the biggest representation of disease burden and it's not infectious disease every single day. people are dealing with chronic conditions that are,
11:49 pm
that are affecting both their daily lives as well as what, how the rates across world why. and so we globally think about sickle cell disease for which about 300000 or more list of these every year. nigeria alone in particular, contributes to about 50 percent of that about 150000 newborns are born the sickle cell disease annually which represents 50 percent. so how do we started dressing and he just put attention towards that particular disease burden is the fact that we have such a great cause and a need to focus and not just look at infectious disease by coping 19 alone at this rate. so how close do you think we are to finding a cure, a ready cure for sickle cell disorder? so i think that when you think about new technologies, for instance, like gene therapy, which is really a cure in itself. when you think about how to come about treating sickle cell disease, this whole,
11:50 pm
but we need to actually really do more and be able to come up with innovative ways and mechanisms for which we can address sickle cell in a manner that supports the infrastructure that we have with in africa building up capabilities, continue to build up sustainable ways for which the health care ecosystem can support new technologies coming in. that will really be able to brocker size availability, as well as accessibility for these innovative therapies. and that was going to be important for driving and being able to address and provide sure it's for sickle cell. all right, delaney at info from 54 gene. thanks for speaking to us. thank you. now to chad, where a professional dancer is hoping his craft can achieve a greater purpose is using his dancing skills, among other activities to help kids get off the streets in a country where many parents are financially struggling to take her of the children . this dancer hopes to help ease the burden and jemina must have
11:51 pm
a professional dancer, oliver and dab ago jude is helping these children find their way through dance. some of them are orphans, others have been abandoned and left to fend for themselves. ah, when we dance, we forgot all old worries. we only think of moving together only for the gift than to dance, to gain the attraction so that the children can confide in us. for example, why are they on the streets? i got quite from the law. there are more than 3000 children living rough here in chads capital city. the reason for them being here often because their parents can't afford to keep them loyal, not only that handle at home, my parents have nothing on the fight every day. they don't give me anything. they can't and roll me in school. i thought that's why i'm on the streets yet,
11:52 pm
and jemina put in and that's why oliver does what he does. but dancing to hip hop with is only part of it. worthy italy at the center, he found it. children are also taught to read and write. many for the 1st time, the center which is part funded by unesco, or se provides vocational training. it's led to success stories, like at dow, after islamist group bach, her, her arm murdered his parents. he spent 3 years on the streets. now he works as a dressmaker. you'll be emma, my senior, i have more machine. i have a room, it's incredible heating, dance has given me self confidence. that's not what it's taught me of. lisa. the hope is that among these children, there will be more apt, out of either taken back in by their parents or becoming financially independent
11:53 pm
