with the answer in the invisible river that flows through the sky in 45 minutes on d, w a versus did up the news africa coming up on the program. the danger of water pollution. we visit a community in nigeria that is soon shall blaming them for spill in poison into its rivers and drinking water. also coming out vaccines can be a baby's 1st line of defense when it comes to early childhood disease. but in ghana they've run out even many in funds,

dangerously exposed on the challenge of being black in germany. we meet a single east man living in hamburg. sharon has experience of racial discrimination a i eddie mike, a junior and you are welcome to the program. what are is, are well, it's life blood, but it's being poisoned by pollution. that's what un secretary general antonia good cherry said. the weld conference on water across africa, one in 3. people do not have access to safe drinking water. some of the courses are manmade, liking ideas, nyja delta. the area was once filled with flows of clean fresh water, but not any more thousands of people in 2 communities. a su in petroleum giant shell for making the water unsafe to drink. due to the oil explorations our

correspondence flo stoker us as this report from a galley blessing james b as a double border. firstly, she has to walk all the way through the public top to fetch water. secondly, when she gets home with a heavy load, it fulfills none of her needs and it's dangerous. this will face no good, i will be fed is what the lady will use for power before we know for you to are you the for wash the to, we know for you we, we use it for cookie. we hear the smelling pollution from oil spills. has left the ground water contaminated big oil multinationals light, she'll have exploited the deltas or reserves for decades. the local community used to be able to rely on fish in the river was the our source of food, incom and drinking water. we are the what i used to team with fish. now we are

reach only in pollution. this is the or go near river in line j delta. and if you look closely, you can see oil at the surface of the water and also some fish have been washed off the shore as a result of the pollution. this water is completely useless even though people can't see what i hear the actually have nor access to clean water. the united nations environmental program ran tests on the water in or gully. it found levels of cancer causing benzine to be $900.00 times higher than the levels permitted by the ward health organization. scientists also found 8 centimeters of refined oil on the ground water which feeds the wells that people drink from. local authorities have want people to not change the contaminated water and suggest the buy bottled water. few can afford that, forcing them to leave with a death rate to be

a health. that's why you see most and was he in the levels, ovarian cancer. prevalence is increasing where seen the age of and people coming by with cancer decreasing before you see cancer cases from 506070 years. when may ftp, children come and are we cancer? it 101520. the government provided what i see shows across the village to supply clean water from other communities or we are told and none of the stations have worked for years. local authorities admit that not enough is been done, but say the responsibility for solving the crises lays elsewhere what we do us for local government on her, her stay blah blah, blah. dr. supports support services, but the main issue is with the federal government. relieved while politicians in

maine, gerry are past the bach and b cow, whose responsibility is to provide clean water for the people of all galilee, king emory godwin, oak. barbie hast taking matters into his own hands. the traditional leader has leased stead 14000 individual cases of the damage caused by shells. oil spill andy, sticking compensation as caught in the yuki we had the company is based off of people that are big people that that received dividend. and they sit down and enjoy the money and their children, doug, grandchildren is enjoying the money. i want to tell them that money is broad money . that money is broiled broad money. as you're using the money to, to get called ford for you, your children and your, your descent, your dependent. so our children, or golly, are dying. the court case could take years in that time,

nigeria and shell will continue to and from o'kelly's oil. yeah, great. blessing james has a message for those who profit from happy. i'm no helping them. i did the sofa. that's on that. you have the so now i'm a fish. what are you? was able to have my, all my, my have more and more people here appealing their hopes on the quote for seeing the shareholders of royal dutch shell to do the right thing. but to that ruling, comes the people of all galle. i condemned to drink poison from all those. let's bring it up. matthew renshaw, a lawyer and partner lady. he's working on the claims involving allegations of environmental have caused by celebrations in the niger delta. hello. mark you. thanks for joining us. so what exactly do your plaintiffs wants from the court? so we're representing 2 communities, the golly community and the billing community,

who are claiming, because of serious oil nation from shells, operations in the noise and out. and they started that claims here in the, in the english wine course in 2015. they are seeking compensation for the loss of livelihoods, the loss of income, the other losses they started. and crucially that also claiming to clean, they one shall to clean up the oil that is continuing to put that communities to this day. it sounds fair enough cell is planning to leave the niger delta a t as of exploit and there is apps there, but they are not taking responsibility for the pollution. what argument had a making so they're, they're pretty good loss of all commence in this case. for example, they say that the communities were representing have no right to go to court and get shelter cleanup. they say doesn't matter. purely for the nigerian regulator

today. they also say that in any spills that are caused by bunkering, that, of course, my own theft shell is not liable to pay compensation for those in any circumstances . and shell says, spills around that time if they happen to more than 5 years ago. she also has no responsibility and all of these points the shell are putting forward have significant implications. as you say, with the background that shell potentially is looking to die past and leave the niger delta. and the question will be, what legacy will a leave? are they going to leave communities like these with chronic oil pollution? or are they going to clean up before they asset that? no, it sounds like cell is not literally taken 0 responsibility . so let me, let me ask this again. is shell offering to do anything at all about the mess that has caused not at this stage?

no. and these claim started in 2015. and as i said to the, the claimant living with, with chronic coalition the you and went to one of the communities in 2011 and said there was an immediate danger to public health because of the, all the nation that the claims were started in 2015 at the outset shell was challenging them saying the claims should be heard in the area, not in the u. k. making jurisdictional legal arguments to try to stop these claimants coming to court in the u. k. and making that case. so, so there have been 7 years since the claim started and still there's no indications that shower is looking to, to clean up in the community to compensate people for their losses or anything like that. at the end of the day, justice must be sat, right. so when my members of the community see that justice and finally be able to drink clean water. and we think that maybe a trial in the latter part of next year,

potentially. and obviously, if, if the claims are successful in that trial, then we hope soon after that they would be receiving compensation and show would start to do a proper cleanup to international standards of these 2 communities. it maybe the claimant's have settled along that door is always open. if a shell is willing to talk to them, if shell is willing to take proper steps to clean up, then as soon as that happens, the better for the plans. let me ask you this briefly on this as the worst case scenario. that shell actually gets to walk away free. well, it's sharla correct with the legal arguments that putting food in this case, they would have very little obligation, very responsibility for cleaning out oil pollution and, and i to dallas and not just in these 2 communities, but more broadly. so the, the arguments that are being tested here all very significant,

we are optimistic and obviously extremely hopeful that shelley is not correct. and that it does have legal obligations to clean up to these communities in other communities like these. but the, the significance of best case has been those sorts of arguments are potentially going to be tested in the course here in england. ok, matthew renshaw, lawyer and partner late a. thank you very much for your time. thank you very much. ah, it was indeed of the news africa still to come dealing with everyday racism in germany, a young blackman chances experience of racial discrimination. but 1st, the cobra pandemic showed us one thing that vaccines our life save us, you know, kill ation, is especially important for babies who have no immunity of the own. so what happens if there was no access to the japs?

that's the situation in ghana where some hospitals are forced to turn. oh, for mothers away. my for soup tells us more in this report from tom ali, the north of the country. it might look like in, in know, my children's ward, but nothing is normal here. i did tamale west hospital. these children all have ms of the abilene care for any special you need a we from what a children. an outbreak of the infectious disease has led to a sage in cases. we suspect that dave's residence bloomed. watson shortages for the outbreak. my childhood had been vaccinated against measles, she wouldn't have become infected, but the children are not vaccinated. and that's the problem over how to shut the shadow. for 6 months, the situation has been the total written health facilities have now ran out of critical vaccines for young children reform, babe who 14,

which we don't have. it's like they pull you, which is giving us a fully 0. we do have full you right now. we don't have the router via a. the roots of us into don't have it's, we don't have missiles. these mothers have spent the last month visiting the hospital. the air force in been back. why the, when i have been coming here for the past 4 weeks, each time i come, the vaccine is not there and i have to go back home to day 2, i came and there is no vaccine for my child. walk on calendar lunk and until recently gone as economy was doing well, which led to world bank to list it as a middle income country. it therefore no longer qualifies for do not support him more sick. this included in health. the government also have been keen to break away from each dependency, but with the current economy,

downton garner is struggling to mit is childhood vaccine. knees, public health advocacy. the government's use swallow is pride in seek international support to his time for government. re look at the policy. yes, that's fine. the fact that we want to go gonna be on in best buy their logo, our middle income country. there are inequalities within our country that needs to be address and to call for the necessary support that week on gunner from holiday bullying partners. gannon normally has a good record of vixen optic, at around 95 percent, according to the health ministry. but these vaccines sure to use, i have this serious consequences. iran children are nice and there are certain disease conditions that they will not build antibodies against. and therefore, when they come across it, they are what we can read of free and the opposite of organisms. how will fill d and just spread encore severed is, is as an agent template solution. the government has sought help and brought in

some vaccines from neighboring countries, while it hopes to somehow allocate money for vaccines. but ex, with c, it is not enough in just a drop in the ocean the universal declaration of human rights states that everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms without distinction of any kind, such as race and color. but people with skin colors like mine, still face racial discrimination of all kinds. we'll soon talk more about racism and how to do with it. but let's 1st look at one example from right here in germany outfit. the air comes from senegal. he now lives in hamburg, where he works as a model. he says he's experienced repeated discrimination because of the color of his skin. like when he wanted to go to a club with friends, jamarcus acne passed and they always said no,

no go. that was brutal for me. i was actually, we didn't even have a chance. and even though we did it, it fell apart. when we had to show id cards, we had special id papers and they always said no reason formally in mind. he's also had problems with prejudice in his modeling work to the slate of, of the, um, light on this, the quote, sorry, but unfortunately we don't have clients for you. i knew you. oh, you look great, but he's trying new york and i to lance and i say, hey, i'm here in germany. yes, i did. my schooling here owned and i want to be successful. he and the woman as and those were such blatant moments, realizing there were limits to my career and my future because of my parents like to come feelings. i'm also, you know, then it's funny how a video sees this as racist. exclusion and he's not the only one german society may be diverse, but anyone with a different skin color or who wears

a headscarf is likely to experience racism sooner or later. that goes for berlin and the whole country. one researcher says that 90 percent of the respondents see racism in germany as a problem. those who belong to a minority are usually speaking from experience. numbers being offered themselves. racism is not a marginal phenomenon, but one that affects society as a whole. generally, schools, the police, labor and housing are some of the primary areas affected by racism. but help is available. there are dozens of resource centers in berlin alone that are publicly funded. reach out is just one of them offering psychological help. keep near to list us as a common end. as the men. it's always the case here that people a traumatized by racist attacks, which is why i'm finding and then it all monies yet on their traumatized by racial hostility cup. alicia, and that in turn causes physical problems. the people can't sleep and they're

constantly afraid. there's so many cindy gangs that aid workers, politicians, and scientists all agree racism is not an individual problem. but a structural problem means from on the issue of racism, have now joined by emily reich cheesy renown, social justice leda, ortho, unexpressed, on into 6 knowledge, he inclusion on non discrimination. hello, emily, thanks a lot for your time now. we had in the reports that racism is a structural problem. is that really what it is? yes, as we racism is a systemic issue. so it have foresight to it. it has the individual perspective, the into, into individual dimension. the church old. i mentioned the institutional dimension and the history cool dimension and the sum of all these dimensions make racism. so

it would be wrong to say that there's only a structural side to it because there can be as well and institutional and history cool. and it's in individual side to it, but generally what did you with that those sides feed each other. so any individual instance of racism, for example, somebody who is attacking someone on the street because of the color of this kim, this is imprinted, or i think this is embedded in a wider system of the human isolation of black people. so the late nelson mandela, one said, no one is born hades in another person because of the color of his skin or his background. so how does racism come about? so what happens is that we, we take on a lot of messages, a lot of images that we learn as children to hierarchy people. we learn to hurricane people on the basis of their gender, on the pieces of their skin, color, their religion, their social class. and all of these messages convey an idea of superiority for

certain societal groups. and so for example, for the case of racism, black people have been portrayed as inferior as sub human. they have been portrayed as particularly criminal, as particularly unintelligent. and all of those images are to be found in all the, the narrative, the stories, the, the images that we take on every day in literature on tv, in advertisement. and so that's how we learn from a very young age to internalize, or at least to yet to view blackness as something deficient as something negative. let's bring it out to a very personal level. how that's a black person like me, deal with racism when i'm faced with it. so i think what happens is that from a very young age there is a cognitive dissonance happening. so i can give you an example of when i was a child, a white child said to me, media,

you're black and the teacher came and said, no, no, i don't want to hear this. this is not kind any laser child like you. and so what we both internal life at the time was that blackness was interior that blackness in and of itself could be installed. and so, coming to this one is that happens in black people, is that we learn to reject when part of our identity or to consider that part of our identity as negative. and healing means that we need to be whole again, that we need to see that part of our identity is not something negative, but it's something that belongs to us. and that is that that has been constructed as inferior. so it means that the work that needs to be done is individual and collective healing. and that's not an easy task, but i think we society need to go through that in order to heal from a racist society. okay, i mean, i guess, i guess you're looking at the very broad picture of how you know structurally and institutionally and do society that it can be address. but everyday basis,

black people face it from time to time. if one is phased with it right now. what is based on your experience, the right way to deal with it? so there is no right or wrong re to do was it? there is something, is that it creates rage, it creates frustration and it creates anger. and a wet supremacy society tells black people that they are not allowed to feel the feelings that they are not allowed to be angry, that they are not allowed to be frustrated. and so that's what i'm not going to say . oh, you should be calm and you should not respond and you should ignore what's going on . i think it's important to keep the space as well, could he's negative feelings and to also respond to what is happening. but this is not in and of itself. the right way to do it, i think each individual should know that their point of view, their perspective dare dare did the hurt that he's on to them is important. and that in fact, black like matter. so if

a black person is being physically attacked on the street or verbally attract attack on the street or at work or wherever that might be, i think there's a right to reset the issue and to stand up for when self. but this is not without consequences. you might be with a police officer and you know, in the end you will pay for that. yeah. well that, that, that def gives me different images. i hope to never be in that situation. but before let us rounded out by finding out that many people that have gone to that trauma of racism, what is the best way to help such people dealing with this? i think the best way to heal this is to find a community to find a community of people who make similar experiences. people with whom you can exchange those experiences and collectively as well healed from it. healing, and that matter cannot be done individually because i feel like it's going to certainly reinforce the isolation that comes out of racism. so noticing that what

had happened to us is not because of us as individuals, but because of a wider system. and it's a collective issue that affects many different people that are get, may also happen to be black, but it could be a black woman, a black man, a black, disabled person. he could be a black, rich person, a black, poor person. but knowing that this, this commonality is something that can be tremendously helpful in the healing process. i mean, normally it would take hours to talk about the issue like this, but due to time will ended. yeah, i mean, right? social justice leda author an expert on intersectionality inclusion and non discrimination. thanks a lot for your insights. thank you so much. ah, man, how about we end web app? smile after all alley. others week? we mocked wild happiness day. so what makes you happy? is it the sun love?

is it money? maybe we asked people across the continent. what makes me happy? why is the piece that relate to me and my family spot on my happening? and knowing that he had up, we are in a country which is peaceful coming out to hell. even if it's not someone you know, helping them out in they are point of need that makes me satisfied, happy. and if i sit down to my friends and my family members watching my just a rated gym, i'm always happy. what makes me happy is my best friend, made that in my, my me and my sister who makes me happy. think people happy makes me happy. my friends, what makes me happy actually is money because like i can use it to buy my stuffs, send to travel. the people at les love are my friends. my classmates may trans and may family may ma'am in may bless her. yeah, that's what makes me happy though music makes me happy. and when i just he had the
