in egypt, african countries that demand in billions in compensation from wealthy f. i meant to nations, to help deal with the impact of global warming. and young activists are leading the charge. it's not only affecting our future, it is affecting our president for the need for all of us to come together in one place to champion for climate action. given kids the chance to dream the local tennis program in canada and is given less fortunate kids d opportunity to play a sports that gives meaning to their lives. with i am eddie mike are junior and you are welcome to the program. after 2 years of fights in ethiopia, warren parties have agreed to lay down jobs. that's all thanks steel brocade,
7:32 pm
by the african union. the conflict in the northern te gray region has left thousands dead, millions displaced and brought firemen to the region. here's what we know about the deal is government and to gray on authorities agree to we orderly, smooth and coordinator disarmament. also agree to restoration of law and order and restoration of services. but most importantly, for the people there in the region to get unhindered access to humanitarian supplies. now many wonder if the piece deal will hold. we'll explore that in a moment. but 1st, let's look at how we got here. the signing of this piece deal has been long awaited on wednesday the ethiopian government and regional forces of dry finally put ink to paper, bringing to rest a conflict that began in 2020 new mcgovern. the cost of this war has been too high. a lot of blood has been
7:33 pm
spilt milk property destroyed, you've got enough the conflict integral region began due to tensions between prime minister abbey ahmed. and the local government integral. ethiopia was ruled for 3 decades by the dry people's liberation front, or t p l f. but when i'm at came to power, he formed a coalition that left out t p, a left members t p. l of blamed him for centralizing power. ahmed denied the accusation that resentment turned to revolt after the government at t p a. let's funding and other disagreements piled up both sides, blame each other for the 2 year war that has raged and displaced more than 2 point . 6000000 people with hundreds of thousands of debts on both sides and hundreds of thousands facing famine. a thief style was declared in march 2022,
7:34 pm
but it didn't last long. and the war began again. people in to gripe are welcoming the p. steel, but they are only cautiously optimistic. helen, i'm happy about the peace treaty. everyone is that we've been living on the sea gym blockade for 2 years without power, internet and banking. but nothing has been said about when these basic services will return that road banking. no one knows how quickly changes will come about. or if the piece that has just begun will last for some more analysis on this, i'm sorry now by adam cassie, a better senior vice awful constitution on piece building at international institute for democracy and electoral assistance in the hague, the netherlands. so sir, welcome to the program and agreement has been reached to sees hostilities. does
7:35 pm
that mean piece has returned to ethiopia? oh, certainly not. it's a necessary measure, but it's far from suction. so it is critical that they have gotten to this stage about a piece will require a lot of complicated measures and it will take years. it will take years. but we are still trying to be optimistic. the last agreement did not last. how optimistic are we that this piece deal will last? what i think the last one didn't, didn't last in the sense that they all side still maintained their strengths. are that particular moment, and crucially, it was a unilateral agreement, so they, there was no de la such each side essentially made the announcement announced the truth. but this time it was assigned under the to, to, you know, to, to ship of the african union lead over the demons of the united nations in the united states. and he got, there's a lot of war actors involved. and the military situation on the ground or sorting
7:36 pm
dictates it. and so there is a sense of superiority, especially on the, on the fit or side. but there's also an understanding that piece piece deal and negotiate the deal is necessary to and so it is different. there's no guarantee that it will stick about it, so it's any different and i think more hopeful. okay, and the way a lot of issues, misunderstandings here and that led to the war in the 1st place. half this deal resolved the issues that caused the war. no, it does not resolve them, but it provides a framework for the resolution. if you look at the deal in detail, it provides for a lot of negotiated outcomes for some of the key issues, including the, the re, presentation of decline, the in the center, the kind of intel ministration that has to be stablished. and crucially, also for, for the resolution of the contested land between, between a, between high and integral regions. and so it's, and they said, but it's, it's,
7:37 pm
it's not sufficient. it provides a framework necessary framework. and if the parties take advantage of them, i think they have the best chance to arrive at the negotiated system solution that will not only end this war, but also, but also crucially, and future wars to prevent future wars as well. so what are the next steps to take out the strike and is deal a number of measures to do? there's a lot of agreement around session of facilities, establishment of an entire him arrangement. and that requires 1st, the removal of the t p from the terrorist terrorism designation, which would hopefully have happened quickly because that is necessary for, for a lot of deals for my negotiations to happen. and of course, it also progress around around negotiation to solve the land issue. and now this and so there's a number of a number of a number of measures. and a piece of equipment i must say is quite optimistic in terms of its timelines. but
7:38 pm
i expect that given the complications given before the seriousness of the issues that will be dealt with progress will be made. but the 1st step would be, in my opinion, to start that is their mom and process the also to remove the terrorism designation . so that all the other measures can, can proceed as planned. we're talking about the war that reached on for 2 years. a lot of people have lost the loved ones that many have been displaced. i mean, many lives have just been brought down massively. how does it move on from this? how does it feel? yeah, we can sal with all of this. i think that's perhaps the $1000000.00 question. you right has been a brutal, brutal war, particularly on the civilian population. 100 sounds, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians have died and most important to be
7:39 pm
the propaganda, the hate speech and the, the animosity between to grant and i and i'm her and i far but across the country where it has been, has been extremely, extremely worried. as in that says, i think that the most fundamental job will not, not just be to silence the guns, but also to cite to silence the propaganda and starts socially reversed gear and used traditional traditional leaders, religious leaders and public media to promote a new sense of identity, a new sense of relationship as it would be difficult. i think we've broken a lot of bones broken, a lot of a lot of mind, but it would be necessary, i think sustainable piece will require it. and then in this regard, the agreement already anticipates and mechanism, a transitional justice mechanism to lead to reconciliation healing, true spelling, also as necessarily accountability. and then of course also was necessary compensation and redress for, for individual victims. and so, you know,
7:40 pm
this is an outcome of the animosity of head trade off of decades and it will take several years before it is, it is completely result. ok. adam cassie, of it, senior vice, are for constitution and piece building that international institute for democracy and electro assistance in the hague netherlands. thank you very much for the time. thank you very much. ah, there was indeed of the news africa still to come. a local tennis program in cameroon is changing the lives of less fortunate kids, given them the chance to dream for a possible grand slam. and before we get into that, let's talk about comp 27 international conference on climate change opens this weekend in egypt is the 1st time since 2016 that the summit is happening on african soil and opportunity for the continent to address urgent issues. for example,
7:41 pm
according to some estimates, africa loses between $7.00 to $15000000000.00 a year due to climate change, despite only emitter in less than 4 percent of global emissions. by comparison industrialized countries like the u. s, canada, china, japan, and large parts of western europe have contributed about 50 percent of planet warming greenhouse gases over the past 100. yes. as a result, african countries now see more extreme weather, like massive flaps on a re karen droughts. so at call $27.00, african governments will push hard for a deal to tackle the impact of climate change. one of those countries in this a hell is in the chair. it's foreign minister. assume you must, who do believe the region needs a huge financial package or a steamy. we have estimated that $440000000000.00 would be needed between
7:42 pm
201820342 be able to face the climate challenge in the south region or especially to adapt to and mitigate the damage with them and tell them that this. so these climate issues are global issues for humanity immersed in the queue, so they require global solidarity. and so we have drought here because of the actions of others. we are not responsible visits yourself to sit, but not even some person that wasn't jazz. foreign minister assume you must to do. now while some parts of africa, stuff are severe, droughts, other parts are experience in heavy and frequent rainfalls, as is currently happening in nigeria. a small town in a democratic republic of congo is also dealing with overflows from lake tanganyika, one of the world's largest lakes. the fishing communities have already been suffering from high water temperatures, killing fish. now the rise and water levels and mud slides are fair that the vast
7:43 pm
eating the community the lake is eating away at homes. bit by bit and meter by meter. the water is or isn't so high. the thousands of people in the town of calamity have been displaced. walker is known as ab would acquire new york by letting him down. here was a very nice house, adequate, fuzzy. i, lia, who live on the other side, all the people have fled when we don't know where to get help so that we can rebuild the whole of what they like it, what they will, what the, what, what am i look at all this closely? but i live with us heavily back in busy. i've been living to one nightmare. dungan mika has destroyed us all. what did i will now young lady, that i needed to find out and had funnier i tongue anika is the world's 2nd deepest fresh water lake. local residence depend on its fish to make a living, but rising water temperatures have killed mass, amounts of fish. on top of that, the lake has become
7:44 pm
a danger to the people. it once fed. floods and storms are common in tropical countries, like the democratic republic of congo. the climate change is now making them more frequent and more severe. now, when it rains, the earth slides that's washed, huge chunks of silt into the lake and cause water levels to search. the rise, according to this official, has been very rapid. well, you'll receive among other marquis of lake tang janica has risen to a level of more or less 5 to 6 meters in height. and advanced to 100, the 250 meters in land towards the continent all in 3 years. or this also can't met or still really plausible for calamity residents each day has become unpredictable. the hope is that the global community will take note of it. and that's why well lead us government officials and other delegates will attend
7:45 pm
this. yes. climate change conference in egypt. many young climate activists will also be there for how the, on our speaking to one of them. and he da, selena a 22 year old environmental activist an offer from kenya. she told me why it was so important for her to attend to cop 27. i 1st of all believe that the only qualification that we all need to confirm environmental puts a bit in climate action is the fact that we live in this planet. and the fact that they say they've no planet be, they've no livable planet be. we only have one at an eye that met today, the way we of young people shall come and protect the planet. another thing is looking. it's not only affecting our future into the, affecting our presence. so the, the need for all of us to come together is one voice to champion for climate action . very eloquently said now a while ago you said quote,
7:46 pm
we already feeling the effects of the climate crisis. there is no way to quarantine from the climate crisis, therefore, we must act and now are you seeing that lead us? i'm not doing enough to tackle climate change or yes, our leaders have previously or not tackle fleming craft through the crisis that it is. it has been science and conference and meetings, of discussions and commitments being put in place, but not really being taken into craft. if that it is why i say so if, because it has taken a lot of the lives of fear of hunger that we having now in kenya, mudslides landslide planning, even in the western countries for lead us to actually start looking at it like it to the emergency, when clearly all the things happening were predicted before. so if they took leave, if an emergency that it is, i believe that would not be having the west effect of climate change we haven't
7:47 pm
right now. i remember when i joined the space, i used to hear these of these seeing that fantasy are wanting, that by 2030 we are going to have the was impacts of climate change being a valuable for this is to say that there has been sense if acknowledged before but there have been little action towards climate. another thing is also i am looking at covered here. the reason i see. so even because i covered, covered should have that are lead of can actually, if they want when we had no covered cases a day like to day and day like tomorrow we have one coffee case and there with money being put in place to contain coffee. there was a lot of a lot of action towards containing coffee. so i was trying to imagine, you know, for coffee, at least we will self. i so live we call quarantining the house. but for climate change, i don't know how you can quarantined from flooding. so it is clear,
7:48 pm
clear that if nickel absolutely on that, then it will be easy on these and for these we cannot self isolate. yeah, totally. i mean, as you said, no planet be. so this is the only planet that we have. tell us. you particularly have a personal connection to climate change. what is it? yeah, i'd say growing up as the pattern from the master community there a child we belong to. we have been the most affected. one of the most affected community by climate change. i mean, we have had drought before by this time it's been very severe with almost 4 years of no short and long rates. we. i remember growing up elsewhere from my mom's family, which is away from them. i say community we used to from 24. we used to fund made twice a year, but today because of changing weather patterns and rainfall distribution, you really that we have to meet on the want to be the other thing that i've also
7:49 pm
affected food production, we have the what us cassidy issue, it's affecting livestock and it, it's actually even affecting our way of lives. it's affecting everything including culture, which now we as possibly have to start thinking, how are we going to live differently, how we are going to do away with, with, with life so that we can be able to adapt to the current climate change situations and possible future if i can you and climate activist anita lee. and so what about africa need to tackle climate change? that's a question i put to to committee j k k, a professor of global climate on environmental governance at alex equipment, federal university in jail. so 5 teams basically, 1st dad nice to be a clear plan. second to nice to be clear policy
7:50 pm
terms, there needs to be finance for to be nice to be technical capability. and the 5th one down is to be strong international collaboration. actually when you look at her african countries, you see that many of them have already ah, ticked the box in about 2 or 3 of dos. so are nearly all african countries have a big ambition to tackle climate change as contained in the, our national lead time in contribution. some african countries have already gone on her to make net 0 pledges. for example, nigeria has a net 0 pledge by 2 into 60 and also jose and national climate change act. one thing you mentioned, things that we all sorts of got. you know, one thing you mentioned in your 5 points that you made was the finance show parts right. financing is very key in helping to tackle climate change. and we know that
7:51 pm
africa is going to a few the effects more while the mean pollutants. maybe not. so much but pledges and commitments have been made by industrialized industrialized nations, but he has not been kept wise africa not getting the help it needs well, i think that is the question that is perhaps have been best answered by the rich countries who have made it promises and failed to keep them. this is also the question that i have harmed for the rich countries for a very long time. they often said that there is no money bow tie. what we saw were decoded 19, was that when they needed the money, they were able to get it. so how optimistic are you that? well, lead us. well, at the end of $27.00, walk that talk i would like to be, but unfortunately i'm not very optimistic. the challenges are capturing to serve on is taking place at a time of very difficult as your strategic landscape where to warn you korean. but
7:52 pm
also the midterm election that is coming in the united states. and so we do not know even that some of the big lead us will our tent. but however, that has not stopped african leaders from macon to point dot com. 27 has to work for africa. so let's see how it goes. ok to cool, mary. do ok again, professor of global climate about mental governance at our legs, equipment federal university and i, georgia. thank you very much for your time. now what do you do when lack of opportunities, prevent you from chase in your dreams? that was a situation for some kids in cameron until they finally got the help they needed. a local tennis program is providing kids with iep, please to plead a sports and dream big. the program was set up by for my communion tennis champion,

7:54 pm
disadvantage by grouse. most of them come to practice every day after school throughout the year. like most of the all the kids channels, parents don't have much spare money, but no, this could be life changing for her. any bottlenecks, what it is is my parents always support me when i come here to play tennis says love despite their challenges at work and the financial problems, i get support from them as i push ahead with playing tennis even with diesel football is the most popular sports in cameroon is equality. the most accessible tennis on the other hand, is still seen as a sport for rich people. the academy has produced dozens of geno national champions in camera. some of the children have gone ahead to play other african countries, while others have gained scholarships to saudi in america. these instructor sees it is the impact the program has on the chewed it in this poor community don't want to
