a symbol of the lingering conflict that has plagued the country. plus the campaign to sensitize nigerians on a disease that affects them more than any other population in the world. moving to the beat, to keep kids off the streets, the dancer and chad, helping bring fun home and vital skills to vulnerable children. and the new generation of cape birds, musicians hoping to build on the rich heritage to showcase their nations tunes to the world. ah. hello, i am told me all lady boy, it's good to have you with us. the british government insists it'll carry on with its plan to send unwonted asylum seekers to rwanda. despite widespread criticism,

the u. k wants to prevent migrants coming to its shores through unauthorized routes . so it's threatening any such potential arrivals that they'll 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 questionable human rights record. this is all wrong. this deal for so many different reasons. that precedent, that these creates, he's catastrophic for the 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. 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, one offering. but even from within ronda, there is criticism of the to put ation deal with the quantity the migrants zillow has sent back to their 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 facing the same situation. well, i mean it was you rhonda already hosts more than a 100000 refugees from other african countries. peach 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 it is it'll boykin and i will

just go back to nordstrom 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. going to stay here or go on buddhism, nor because if the field but are in you, k, u k is like a 4 level. 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 show bandy freelance journalist based in kigali rwanda. charles, it's good to have you on the program. now, what is rhonda offering these people devoted from the u. k. as in what to

wonder if he's got a sailor? they are fighting it in a 1st. our prof. salmon will be off on those who are willing to stay, you know, we are fund still ship sunday becomes zia, be given skiers so that they can be integrated into society and or for jobs that are given the other one. okay, so, so what about for a wanda 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 about from the money. 120 meter bonus for the study. that was like some sort of assigning fi st young women fee. the money that was meant for that is meant for development. but as you've said, what, but the is much more mind that he's going to be involved money 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 on the

site, i guess 2 survivors. so apart from that, the money orders order, so the government sees that they are doing it on a monday in the grounds. iving for they've also been, hadn't having been using the bus. they believe it or they weren't support. so what other my grandson's that if reduce but however some of those and allows you to see that there were other see that you saw it being used by the government as a political tool. they're going 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 he's working together was there, which was there was sort of the my rent and the say don't count. you aside asylum seekers program. that was the fishing cut into the right. now you mentioned rwanda's history when it comes to being refugees. but what is rwanda's track record

when it comes to hosting migrants and refugees? it's got into what i was on, on. what on inside this i was, and if it isn't different comes, those are made it from the, the republican form and wounding. but the wonder source it that 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 migraines who came in the past to confirm some of them from is that aid was, are comprised of each other. if you're pianos. but most of them, they simply offer a short period of time on that. if there are some i talk to reason to do overlook it, it's done what they said. it wasn't bearable. so i don't know how that will change for these members that have been gotten from the u. k. all right, charles de shabanni, speaking to us from k, galle met many thanks for your time. thanks. you're welcome.

ah. if he appears prime minister abbey ahmed has opened the door to the possibility of having peace talks with the rebel movement from the countries t gr i region 10 shall remain high after both pro government groups and the 2 ryan's accused, each other of carrying out atrocities a one scene of violence has been abala, a town on the regional border between 2 great and a far dw correspondent morale merlow went there. and has this exclusive report deserted and destroyed in december last year to grain fighters loyal to the te gray people's liberation front or t p l. f. attack the border town of fabiola, and they left their mark. a ballet used to have a mixed population of ethnic to grants and afar in the days leading up to the t belief attack witnesses tell us. fighting had already broken out along ethnic lines

between afar residence a far militia and local to grounds, causing many to leave. as you can see, the destruction is systematic. every house on this road has been damaged. the to grain fighters went from door to door, looted and damaged everything they could find was to he has seen the mayor of abala has since returned together with armed men. an attempt to reinstate some sense of security on the cylinder. kubat tomasetti it or got on the shelling was relentless, smoke like rain more than 225 people died in watermelon. they killed the elderly in their homes and others while they were escaping. good mother followed them as, as shortened as was yos and killed them, sold on the lima to america. they also raved several women. he says, the t p l f and the government declared a ceasefire. it's fragile, but it's been in for since march. in late april tpl f i t as withdrew from

a balla and other territories in the afar region, allowing 8 convoys into the t gray region. but a palace may r t i s n says the t p a laugh never really left or for the less than a long way say we're fully withdrawn from a thought level, but they haven't really fully left of level the hill that you see. there are there up, they're not on a scale come back once. they've received enough food aid as warranty. they had enough of it. they will use it that a war jojo looked 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 carroll, i have a heavy heart and glares manager. i am lost for words by them later, this has left a scar in my life. if al and i'll never forget, this is over her to mother's home, but it's not just lives that have been lost. local infrastructure lies in ruins as well. without in throw that they destroyed the hospital because everything that's

useful or the x ray machine, the cam lab and the laboratory, oh, they took everything and they broke the rest of the written code. 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, and samara 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 the true that's that that's not the did in condition living human conditions, he says, among those detained era, about 1200 children, many suffering from malnourishment. we tried to gain access to the camp,

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, dublin years, africa still to come? professional dancer in chad is helping kids get off the streets in a country where many are struggling to make ends meet. and ah, reviving cape bird,

vibrant shoes that had been muffled by the pandemic. the attempt to bring back music from these islands, the world stage. now to 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. these can block blood vessels and cause chronic pain on often death. the condition is particularly common among people with african or caribbean background. now $300000.00 children are born with sickle cell disease each year with her on 3 quarters of those in africa. my drea is the worst affected country, but there are attempts to sound the alarm as dw correspondence. only such woocommerce reports throw in blood, prevent in men's suffering. nigeria seeker, so foundation, a nonprofit organization, is trying to test as many blood samples as possible. so people can no dare sickle

cell stages more declare or color or look bad, equal poor, left please. and the forefront of these efforts. she has 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 new feb shon i have to be transferred to you. my friend responded with with when not very very, it wasn't a good when she calls herself a sickle cell warrior breathing every day with strong support from her family and with medical care. what floor disease which no easy cure. she wants to raise awareness to prevent the need for the lifelong challenges. it brings it given it very important people to know because that by the way, i mean the lot of people still don't know. so this community very more important

than the fundraiser. 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 jesus of change to them. so they know again before the santa fe t getting married. what that gina type is, that's what determines if you're going to be in that gene. this is exactly what more a more couples are starting to do. it's often even a decisive factor or get it together as we here at a wedding registrar next door annoy. most so my, 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, not with that so free is worsened by the huge financial costs and the challenges accessing policy, health care, managerial pose. that's why the campaigners advocates know your status, the cheaper and safe a message of prevention. we can also be to deli at yogi, at people as 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

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 or 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 is 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 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? very good 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,

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 $300000.00 or more 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, 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 healthcare ecosystem can support new technologies coming in. that will really be able to, in brocker size availability, as well as accessibility for these innovative therapies. and that's what's 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 50 for 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

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 trust so that the children can confide in us. for example, why are they on the streets of white gallery? 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 in la, la la, la, la darnell at home. my parents have nothing on the fight every day. they don't give me anything. they can't enroll me in school. i thought that's why i'm on the

streets yet. 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 my 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.

now remaining on a resume note music from cape bird has enchanted fans around the world. since the discovery of the iconic singer says area ibarra. but the richness of these tunes has not been enough to save the music industry in this tiny archipelago nation. from the impact of the global pandemic. but one man who was at the heart of cape verdes, glorious musical heritage, is working to revive the scene. let's take you to cape verde to min dello on the island of salvi sent a red letter. where we're lin fabio. ramos is in the studio recording his 1st album. he's just signed a contract with the lose africa label, set up on k bed in the 1980s. with it's found out just say da silva produced the music of legendary sing us as aria. if laura, he is one of the big players in africa, music industry,
