11:34 pm
cheated systematically. and when forced to utilize maximum force defendant, that is a lie. sessoms apollo maggie, the one up, he was one of those shots seen he in the green sweater hits by 9 bullets. he also says it's a miracle that he survived sewell, i like. where to windsor gate get under ever since that incident, soon as i saw myself as someone that nobody cared about regarding if i feel like a slave in the government was supposed to be looking after me whole. and they didn't plan john next to the copy where the minus, where massacres, there's a settlement of tin that's it was my giddy one as home for many years. people here have seen practically nothing of the rich resources extracted from the region lower than the seller will. yeah, you and under and like i or your game, i should get the benefits of the rich guy bondo. about the people who are living here, let you not benefitting. yup. in if you took land out. and then if i were by living
11:35 pm
conditions um won't be bent on if he tobacco valuable and out employer won't a bed or i gaze there. so an annual cleaning ask a get a day like we're struggling to p no longer be daily. it's just getting worse, left man door. we have an improving would be, but they did an alarm as nothing changes in our life feel react by ways. we don't see anything. she j. a balloon. yes, it would be better if we at least got social housing or am with improper toilets quickly. similarly added the p near toilet isn't that is bad. one more. 10 years of betrayal. that's the bitter balance drawn by the union, smarter for the memorial. the widows of the slain men have new homes and new jobs, but dozens are still waiting for compensation. there's deep anger at the authorities and the police because no one has been brought to justice for the crimes committed. noah running hunting down the went cars kinder hiding here in the
11:36 pm
glades and under their ros trying to cover themselves. but the police came and hung to death and saw them do. there are those there were saw boy some ending it was in it for these no apologies. that was extended to their families. there is no accountability. there was no justice. it's the fight for justice that still drives them. zacalo maga, d y, now he battled heart with a mining company to get himself a flat and a celery again. despite the trauma and constant pain, which he can only manage with medication. the option at 50 percent of south africa because no one to keep survive. that might make the issue out to my many times or only me and 50 says, i'm power 40 men. that is why the people of america now you caught me that dead
11:37 pm
men walkie ish means me. i'm a strong strong enough to continue the fight for justice, for compensation and for fare, living conditions for all the miners and families of america. well let's get more on this and speak to mom or get the more piano. she is a policy and economic analyst, specializing in mining and labor. she joins us from britain. north west, south africa is good to have you with us here and dw news. now we heard the miners union, they're calling this anniversary 10 years of betrayal. has there been any accountability there hasn't been accountability at all. instead, what we have seen these key actors are, were deeply involved in the tragedy shift accountability and not one to take responsibility. we have also seen, we have fallen commission that was specifically set or to get to the bottom of what
11:38 pm
led to the tragedy. really not come out to very clear direct wording that says certain people are responsible for this to have happen. but instead it gave recommendation of what it more like a remedial exercise. really. so know in shut the really hasn't been accountability kenya slater. there are many questions that have not been answered now. so africa's government says that it has paid out almost $10000000.00 to the families so far and that it aims to settle all outstanding claims by the end of august. what more are you calling on the government to do? well, i'm calling the government to formally apologized to publicly state state. and what happened was a tragedy that she didn't have taken place in the 1st place. because in a matter of employee and employee engagement, industrial relations,
11:39 pm
one does not know why where the police involved. and secondly, it's quite critical. i think that the government gives a very clear position of what apologizing for the tragedy that has happened and by the government. one of these and you can see lead government, a for that matter. and many of these minors has said that despite the reparations their lives haven't improved, can you just talk us through some of those social and economic conditions that many of these people are going through? oh, absolutely. i mean saw the flicker. it's currently going in a slow growth face at the moment of its economy, even before that, many of the mine were across the communities around the mice in an informal settlement called in gunning their lunch. so not really change 10 years later, they're still more basic services. are tenuously tied, the social labor plans of the mining companies that are active operating in that
11:40 pm
environment have not really yielded the results it once it is meant to be, in other words, believe in conditions of people around the area of mary connor and the informal supplemented the community of america has not had any improvement in their lives. now more generally, how wide spread is this issue when it comes to exportation of poor workers by industries who are profiting from africa's mineral wealth? is quite widespread. it's not unique to south africa throughout the continent. and mining is built in the economy of mines such that it is always been not just an extractive industry, but also extract even the 10s of the amount of labor extracts out of workers. and the amount of exploitation that he does on mine, where it has more like bodies in this instance. so we,
11:41 pm
it is known historical. any continues to be that the, it is always going to be the way mining industry is able to re invent its means of production. such that it expressed as much simplest value out of minus in an blake bodies throughout the continent while compensating them as little as possible in comparison to the kind of compensation it pace work has in developed countries in other parts of the world. so in the short term, what changes would you like to see much more strict policy into, in terms of a mean a ration for mine workers much more strict and follow up policy in terms of the social li by implants, because it's not enough for the asset didn't pay by an approved by government, but there must be enforcement of them. and the quick taking away of the license in
11:42 pm
mining rights, if companies or the industry as not to meet those social commitments they have made for social labor plans, but also a government that equally takes responsibility by provide 2 basic services to people in communities that have mining activities such that it doesn't become a burden that falls on mining companies as a way to provide basic services. i do think this is critical that government continues to be able to provide basic services to the people, even around communities and not on not wait for mining companies to undertake their social economic responsibilities. ok. mama kathy mala can i thank you very much indeed for your time. ah, they're watching the diabetes africa still to come. we had to wintery slopes of less to,
11:43 pm
to where skis are enjoying the only freestyle snow park in africa. but 1st, i'd like you to meet next screen. if for him, she is the chief editor of belie media and she's part of the team of 6 women who make up some aaliyah's 1st. all female newsroom. they're working to address issues, often considered too sensitive for public broadcast and challenging social norms that put women and girls at a disadvantage. nashville mohammed deborah, he miss out on her beat shooting video. her latest story for bella media is a profile of a teenager who happens to be a mother now back in the classroom to continue her education. teen parenting is a topic that others, somali media would never cover the lawn, which is somali for bright and clear are on the job, were within media at bell on media. we focused on stories that are crucial for the
11:44 pm
somali communities we live in with. gary, the stories are about experience as people think in normal. but these are issues that are not investigation properly. congress if it were to be investigated and broadcast longer than we might find solutions for the future. had they been uncle? oh, so side of the had had a little more for let the right to in boulder a laugh in a conservative muslim country like somalia, being a female journalist is a challenge. nazarenes team is made up of 5 women reporters in charge of every stage of a story from research to interviewing to camera work to editing their gender often gives these journalists unique access. when talking to people about tabitha topics like sexual and domestic violence or workplace harassment. about 80 percent of their output is about such issues. topics they say people are often too ashamed to discuss. and i would feel samaya donna and eg has female somali
11:45 pm
journalists, and we encourage an advocate for the rights of voiceless women in a resilient anthea are crucial. what i mean, how the court of law or full battle for bella, somalia has yet to pass its 1st sexual offences. bill though it's been in the work since 2013 perpetrators are rarely prosecuted and victims can face a backlash. so it can be hard to get women to speak up a mikaela theory of boucher that only got the height on the hunting. got a hallock and the mckuddle has like a great start up the side especially for women. so it tries to cover the needs of women, although because it gets voice to the voiceless night and focuses on the stories of vulnerable women. so i think that's really important right now. i'm a shuttle that i said. michelle ramos on the needle nazarene and her team only started their work in april, but they've already shown what is possible when women have the power to decide what stories they want to tell and how they want to tell them to get it.
11:46 pm
so how much of a challenge is it to be a female journalist in somalia? i put that question to 40, muhammad ahmed, the deputy chief editor of belie media in mogadishu. they are a lot of yelling in would be sure is be selling that female journal. if you act it out differently from a min, because a in house society, when you got out for whacking, they just see something like a strange out or funny thing. they say, oh, you don't need to do it. this is not good for you. does not yours, this is tugged is and the other thing is say our, our, our, our parents is michelle, is somali parents they don't leg female juggle, is the say, oh please, can you change who idea? so what kind of issues are you trying to address that might be considered taboo in somalia and how is that being received there just we have a lot of e,
11:47 pm
he's so this in, in, in, in pill and media example. last week we population day the that data uses in somalia is specially for for young females. and all the people they know what bad is it to that to the, to the, to the are young people is to be silly is be surely female. and our, our, our community, they don't know what's going on. and what is this? and the other thing is we publish day light is stood, is for the 80 piece. it, i, the out of the, of the c t in mogadishu. there are a lot of e mothers and children would then have trust because when they're, when they go to dig and this no, you squeeze. so we have a lot of feet is,
11:48 pm
is sort of in our society. we in new to tell to that to the people. now, a report published last year by the national union of somali journalist revealed that a female jonas said that they faced sexual and gender based violence which has negatively impacted their professional development. so what's being done at the moment to make sure that they're safe and able to do their jobs is sometimes it can happen. it can happen thought day, most of the times, not because if you want to do, does the job i need when you talk to p strength person, you can face some delancy from the society of one of the colleagues there for them that the people in where you got to talk to, to do their they study. so unit $22.00 to be strong and do
11:49 pm
worry for your safety when you go out and, and tell stories. sometimes yes, because it use media unit ease, say, unique in somalia. and when we go out to do wag some of our community, the he said when the where you from bill and media was bill and when we explain was 1000000000 on what's doing is they just say, please do it. so it's good to have some, some, some mentally does a while you, i just 6 female a on so we have, we have been some times and they said please, can you have some other men to, to work with you guys. so been on as seen as a way for women to reset the narrative in their societies in somalia. how far are you prepared to take this and where do you see bill on going in the future?
11:50 pm
yes, every thing you want to to do it e, you can have some jellies. we know the challenges. so we just came from our society, our colleagues, our clients. but we are going to talk to, to, to do something different from what we have the full in so many journalists. okay, good luck to you, fatty mohammed, and thank you very much indeed for taking the time to speak to d w, news africa. thank you, mickey. ah, when a child falls ill with a fever in sub saharan africa is always the fear that it could be malaria. but not all fever diseases are transmitted by a mosquito bite and some of the others mistaken for malaria are more dangerous. children who are falsely diagnosed when they're sick with something else, are more likely to die when it comes to malaria is africa's children who are
11:51 pm
suffering the most of all the cases of a disease measured by the world health organization on the continent, 80 percent, or among the under fives, but it's not always simple to figure out who really is ill with the parasite. new research conducted at the university of oxford suggests about a 3rd of cases diagnosed in children as severe malaria are actually a completely different disease. lots of these children who get diagnosed as having severe malaria actually don't have a marriage and they will. so they'll get to now get treated with an answer millerio, anti malarial drugs, the only kill malaria parasites. they don't work on other diseases. many children thought to be suffering from malaria are actually infected with bacteria, which caused sepsis, an illness that used to be cold, blood poisoning. but bacteria is just worse than similar. it is
11:52 pm
a scott high mortality. i mean, commitment area is bad, but at least it's treatable. you know, if you get given drugs quickly, it's traceable children with acute bacterial substance need immediate treatment in hospital with antibiotics. and he miss diagnosis could mean a delay, and the children are more likely to die. so the research looked for clinical signs of malaria in more than 2000 patients, both adults and children from uganda, kenya, and bangladesh. malaria is caused by a parasite, passed on by mosquitoes. when the parasite bursts his protein is released and the blood scientists look to how the levels of this protein correspond to how severe the case of the diseases. we tried to sort of assess this problem by using biomarkers which you can measure in
11:53 pm
blood which to, to, to try and understand, you know, how many of these children are actually getting misdiagnosed. and they are in this is in this, in the concepts of clinical studies of similar dr. watson also look to the level of blood platelets in patients with severe malaria and found they had both low levels of plate. that's an high levels of parasite protein in that blood. i to say the platelets are especially important. this is quite nice because it's a standard in indices that you, that you measure in the hospital is most hospitals. even in low recent settings, will have a machine, the commercial accounts, the other indicator parasite protein levels is hard to measure. that scientists have given time, existing blood tests for malaria could be tweak to include it. until then, the world health organization says all children being treated for severe malaria
11:54 pm
should be given both antibiotics and anti malarial. and while much of the northern hemisphere is sweltering in the summer heat as take you to the chill of winter in the tiny african nation of lesser to is the only country on earth where its entire territory is at least a 1000 meters above sea level. and one rich top is more than 3000 meters above sea level, making it the go to spot for skiers in southern africa. a close, it's got the look and feel of resorts in the lp's are the rockies 1st rate rides and slides from a bit further back f risky copico snow park is a nice hill to practice for the steeps elsewhere or yeah. ok. how do i need
