6:34 pm
there. but one thing is for sure, the story of the queen cannot be told without looking at the relationship she had with many african countries. his why queen elizabeth had a special relationship with african she turned $21.00 on a visit to south africa. and she was in kenya when she heard that her father, king george the 6th, had died. a grievous news of her father's death reached the young queen married 25. at this, not in the highlands of east africa, she returned home for her coronation. the archbishop lore is the 5 pound symbol of might and power. and as he places it upon the queen's head then removes his hands, the assemblage in one boy's cries, god save the queen. during his 70 year reign, the queen returned to africa on numerous occasions. this is her visiting zimbabwe

6:36 pm
well, the queen also touched many lives. he spoke to one woman in ghana who met her in person when receiving the young leaders award and award for young people across the commonwealth who dedicate their lives to serve the communities in unique ways. i'm in a bower shares her memories of the queen with us. the news of her person is, ah, so do by stating. but again, an opportunity for us to reminisce and celebrate and long lasting legacy. her unmatched humility on dignity and values of, of service. ah, will continue to live in me, especially, and the lives of the young people she inspired on the one on one posture in the award presentation is one that reminds me of how my grandmother was given to me the last best way in the house. just to persuade me to go to school,
6:37 pm
i was actually shedding tears while receiving the award from her. the moment of touching her hand is one that made me feel had received some new brit. aflac is once in a lifetime experience alpharetta cherish. i'm so my touch of sympathy. i went to royal family and the english people may have beautiful, so it blessed. now we've invited that my city, i'm an anna historian, professor on foreign policy expert at a united states international university africa faced in i will be kenya. hello, and welcome to the program. say, now we've been here in some mixed reactions from across the continent. what kind of legacy do you think the queen leaves behind in africa? the continuity or british presence of the head of the commonwealth? which bear with her former british colonies are members by josh. and she was our civil so under very possible bustle and people later. now,
6:38 pm
but the go, the common with legacy that she leaves but very positive. the other part being call on, you know, part of the more not you recall on your bill. it was the last the last decade of colonial. you may not be very pleasant, but the transition from colonialism to independence and then we walked into the commonwealth. that goes law. that gives us, i'm credit. oh, i mean, you touched a bit on that because yes, in a way to represent that a country that's colonized parts of africa. but what role did she play in africa fight for independence from british colonial rule? was you do, you know, really struggle for independence? sure. that he spend recipient of the struggle itself. the good thing about is that she took her to thrive. of course, the prime minister of them, it was,
6:39 pm
would go to the she and the father, she became a queen where she was in kenya. and i want you to miles it gives it gives i little bit of relevance to canyons and to other people. but she did not. her plea, i thought i knew a rule in their declining vision. she was the recipient struggling in a school lunches. and she didn't, but i think definitely be a well put on your side, but some say she wasn't really in a position to it just after she started her rule. she was why were describe, say, was open to the idea of it happening. this is she was open to the idea of being a young lady was just trying to address a very good word to adjust the realities of the day they think are handling with the common will be woven commonwealth. there it gives on, there is some research,
6:40 pm
but she seemed to blend very well. we've been you in the been a countries and make them feel that we are welcome in the common was part of it. so there she made them feel good. acceptable, which was a recruiting store and for that reason she was really popular by the commonwealth expanded when she was there. so we had kind of like was only cont rhonda join. we moved in about british collins a to be good. you mentioned earlier how frequently she was visiting that continent that kenya is as one of the countries that she was that particularly when she heard of the news of the death of her father. how would you describe her overall personal relationship with the african continent? generally good will if people do not kick you shit possible issues with her, there she was a symbol or must system not was not very good you regarding but as
6:41 pm
a parcel or don't give you a diagram anger on ha debiana they just saw as a see more of a system but was not very good. and as if there was one has done that, that google is all around the country. you the prime minister on the minister's. she's just symbolic, over long lasting 15, all the british imperialism. and there's the gate, you ahead was she just looks good to look when there's a mother who didn't address and you leave her go. she looked good, but there isn't one wasn't it was on the bus. ok, not half a person but the system that of the turn she was part of fighter professor maria, montana historian and foreign policy expert and i will became thank you for your insights. thank you very much.
6:42 pm
ah world, lest thou shift the focus to another huge issue and one of the biggest challenges of our time climate change africa is barren, the browns of the global climate emergency. the un says climate change threatens to expose of a 100000000 vulnerable africans to droughts, flats, and extreme heat by 2031 of the worst hit countries is somalia, almost 8000000 people there or about half the countries population are facing crisis hunger levels. the most affected area is the be region in the south, the you and says, bearing a massive influx of assistance that region as likely to see a full scale farming in the coming months. southern somalia, this is what the worst drought in decades looks like. people displaced by climate change and conflict. their only source of water is this distribution center in a displaced persons camp with the united nations. humanitarian agency has been
6:43 pm
sounding the alarm for some time. i been shocked to my call these past few days by the level of pain and suffering. we see so many somalis enduring famine is up the door unto day. we are receiving a final warning. it's been for failed raimie seasons in a row. and now the u. n's has a 5th one is on the way, but the problems in somalia run even deeper decades of civil conflict, mass displacement, and one of the lowest standards of living in the world. what's happening in the horn of africa is a threat to a way of life, which is sustained families and communities for generations. it's not just a lack of rain for full seasons. for many families,
6:44 pm
it's an end to the way they've lived. a search in food prices worldwide and a grain shortage triggered by the war and ukraine have made the situation worse. this entire region is on the brink of extreme hunger, waiting in vain for the drought to end. clearly to prevent such impacts of climate change in africa, something needs to be done urgently. an industrialized countries need to fulfill the off fund and promises for contribution the most to climate change. that's a points that was reiterated by ganawe's president than elk grove auto. i was earlier this week in rotterdam, africa contributes the least to the climate emergency responsible for less than 4 percent of global emissions. yet we are facing increasing and more intense climate related extreme events. well, the, the, the crossroads. we want our continent to thrive,
6:45 pm
we have to adapt to climate change. and to achieve this adaptation financing needs to start flowing at scale. and that's why any others we african leaders traveled to the africa adaptation summits in rotterdam, netherlands, but he will be on partners, did not turn up. and that was strongly criticized by african leaders, mission bull, monkey donati. i want a note with a taste of bitterness. the absence of the leaders of the industrialized world. i think that if we made the effort to leave africa and come to rotterdam, it was easier for the others to be here. they are the main polluters of the planet . and they are the ones who have to finance adaptation to food fin. offer led up that's, you know, he thought i'm fond of that son comb lacoff can, as we've observed, the private sector, one of the main polluters my is also absent opposed to popular. so that gives us
6:46 pm
a taste of unfinished business. before even starting this meeting. today i just had to express this disappointment, removed death of ju joel. there is a gun mar. i would also like to deplore the absence of leaders of the industrialized nations andrews as well as the representatives of the private sector . dar, do sector play v you saw lea gemalto said the biggest blue does lou and would have had to answer to our questions. here are not just young the absence of european lead as clearly disappointing for africa. lead us as my colleague christine mando, who was at the summit, also reports i am in the dat city of rotterdam. and while this country benevolence is one of the wealthiest in the world, it 2 faces and existential traits as it pertains to climate change. but the difference is this country has been able to invest in the infrastructure needed to literally keep the country afloat. now have
6:47 pm
a look at that building behind me that is literally the world's largest. floating off is to give you a sense of what i'm talking about. it is in that very building that global leaders gathered for the africa adaptation summit. over the years we seen the international community make huge pledges and commitments to helping africa in with climate finance. but that money hasn't necessarily always follow through. and now this summit, which was held right before the cops summit coming up in egypt, i in november, the idea was to get leaders on board to get that renewed commitment. but we have to talk about the elephant that wasn't in the room. and that is that while african presidents made the trip to be in rotterdam, the european counterparts largely snubbed the conference. and so that did set the tone, but nevertheless, we were able to get a conversation with the president of the african development bank. a team will be additional who spoke about the urgency for africa and the costs of inaction. uppercase, actually suffer in africa, isn't a terrible situation. we've got acquired. jessica flowed so happening. you check
6:48 pm
the situation is empowered. you check the case in malawi, retake the case also. are in zambia, our palm out by hurricane. i mean it's, i don't a die that destroyed more than $2500000000.00. what of infrastructure? you take a look at bus, try know, cycle that she'd madagascar, you know, and totally decimated many things across the country. you know and put about 600000 farmers. they couldn't really, you know, it was florida and so they had put in that support. you look at the horn of africa, that software info. he mess amounts of heat lacoste, innovations. but are all linked to climate change? you look at the salon region of africa, you know, all across this. i help, you know, you have drought on all of that. so basically, africa is not just, i'm been affected by climate change is totally distressed by climate change. and therefore the whole issue is africa which contributed no more than 3 percent of the problems we have to day. a soft friend, a deluge of problems as a result of that,
6:49 pm
you know, we lose on the continent to day anything between $7.00 and $15000000000.00 a year as a result of climate change. and we have very low income country countries to it generally. and if we don't get in our climate finest bow will rise to $50000000000.00 a year. you can imagine hammered that is for us almost 70 percent of our g. d. p would be would be, would be loss because of our, of climate change. and so we do need to have a lot and the amount of climate finance that africa made. it wouldn't end him between one on and $12000000000.00 a year to want $25000000000.00 a year. but africa only getting 3 percent of global finance rate. and so it, which means that africa, which actually did not cause climate change, is now suffering disproportionately from that. and that's why for us an applicant develop and bang, we decided to take a bold effort, right? we say we're look, we are just going to wait for everybody else. we gonna go out and start doing
6:50 pm
climate adaptation monies for us on the african development bank. so we launch was called the african adaptation acceleration program. we like to call it 3.8 p re. well that he's a to remember exactly. yeah, 3 for a pre spray is yet to remember. but what is the goal? we decided to mobilize $25000000000.00 to support climate action for our, for africa, together with a global center on adaptation. and to show that we really mean business. the african development bank put down $12500000000.00 out of the trip. $25000000.00. so we just tried to raise story point $5000000000.00 for that. but that said, it's still very small for it. got it, you know, compared to what we need to do. so what we need to do is that the $100000000000.00 a year that were promised by the developed countries to developing countries. so. so for climate finance, in patrick, glad apparition for africa really needs to be on the table. you know, i like encouragement, you know, at which is good, but encourage been was translate into finance concrete. he,
6:51 pm
some of the money that you've talked about, that the bank, for example, i has, has made investment at senior tennis where this money is going and what is it actually doing? okay, let me just take the case of agriculture for security. you know, we provide it, we have a program thus called technologies for africa. agricultural transformation is a platform that brings the highly performing tickler disclaimer, resilient technologies to farmers at scale. you know, i don't like mickey mouse stuff. i don't like little stuff. i like big things, apple as 1400000000 people. we must be walking at scale and that's the skill at which we work. i be african to open bang. so for example, tick the case a wit. okay. which is a temperate crop. right? but we been able to provide wheat varieties to african countries, not the back heat tolerant, which for right with music and growing hot environment. so we provide that to student in 2018. and so then in 2 years was able to reduce a suite import by 50 percent. well, as a result of this, heated on brightest,
6:52 pm
take the case of our ethiopia. now, just to give you a sense, we give then 65000 metric tons of seed. now i don't want to be technical, but just tell you what that is. so if you take an air boss roughly 80 aircraft mcquease elijah's paint, jane plain view. jan. place ok. they total weight of the people of the cargo or the fall is 90. 8.4 of metric tons, when i say we provided ethiopia with 6, if i a 1000 metric, tons of cit, that's about 666, it have boys, 380 aircraft packed on a land is to the been. so you can just the magic full proceed. now it revolutionize and trying some things for a p o. p. in 2018. they cultivated this new varieties on hitler and varieties on 5000 hector's right 520-2122 it went to when they had reached one. ah, it is 7000 hacked site. and by lisha,
6:53 pm
they had raised 645 powers on heck to sell out for the 1st time in utopia history. that it in import with this year. nasty other prime minister tells me i be a mad that they will become in net exporter. well, of we to, for the 1st time in the history for that is the kind of technology that we're talking about that we do. i give you an example. what we do. we have a program called african disaster risk insurance facility, which basically when countries gertrude drought, you know, you got to ensure your farm as your pastor, elise, because they lose a lot of their animals and stuff like that. or that countries have catastrophe, risk advanced. you know, you have to ensure your content because you have to take money out of your public finance and to repair infrastructure and all of that. so this particular one we did it for. um we now have about 10 countries that we support with it. and a good example was madagascar when the outside clone of destroy hit that we actually insured them with $4000000.00 against catastrophe, risk of that. so when that happened,
6:54 pm
they were able to get an insurance pay out of $12000000.00, which allowed them to be able to compensate 6 on a 1000 farmers that were affected by the. so that is the kind of practical things that we are talking about in terms of action at scale as present. thank you very much for your time. thank you so much. i appreciate it. ah, that's where we draw the curtain on the show. as tribute to the queen pour in, i leave you with what some african heads of states had to say. starting with kenya's, president elect william, brutal. the queen's leadership of the commonwealth for the past 7 decades is admirable. she stared institutions evolution into a firm for effective multi lateral engagement whose potential to drive tremendous social economic progress remain. incontestable. said african precedent. sir, i'm a pause. i said, the queen's commitment and dedication, june has 70 years on the throne remains ennoble and virtuous example to the entire
