can the battery would stand the cold? are there any charging stations in sight? just how tough is the new rep? in 60 minutes with our sports, all a scoring we say they were about never giving up sports like every weekend on d. w. versus did of the news africa coming up on a program? not everyone can conceive a child due to the challenge of infants entity. so what options do couples have an idea more people are warming out to the idea of surrogacy to get someone else to carry the child. but with no loss in place, the practice can be risky. sort of it's how you monday we ad agreement.

yes. what? yeah, human beings and become brick. i agreement. and so the 5th 2nd thoughts, surrogate broke, i believe, and thousands of them bobbins live in in south africa could soon be kicked out of the country. if they lose a court case. we meet one teacher who says, stay and is his only option a i am eddie micah junior. welcome to the program, one in 6 people around a well struggles with in fertility, a condition that prevents a couple from having children. according to the world health organization in facility does not discriminate between high meadow or low income countries. in fact,

nigeria, africa's most populous country, some experts suggest one in 4 people are unable to have children. so some opt for surrogacy where another person carries the pregnancy for them a decade ago. this was very rare, but i still abuse of macau coyer reports. it's now become so common that surrogacy agencies are imagine or do. there are still no adequate laws. guiding the procedure, making up myra and myra judy its children. but she wasn't pregnant with them and she didn't give birth. they were carried and born by a sorrow, get judy has the auto immune disease loopers, which means she couldn't carry a baby to term. she decided to find a surrogate to have a babies for her. she tells me that it wasn't simple for her. it wasn't a direct process because solo with our human beings. we had agreements. yes. what's

the or you mom be as under come break agreements. and so the 1st, 2nd, even the thought forgives broke agreement breaking agreements like i wish she was 30 process. and midway, i don't want to do this except you do this for me. it was, it's off period. judith found a surrogate who successfully bore her children, and she tend to experience into a business. she now runs a sorrow garcia to the see the full service costs, the parents around $3000000.00 error or 6000 years after medical costs and the agency fee associates can expect to get about half of that. that's around 3 and a half years of minimum wage. this woman is pregnant with someone else is twins, babies. it is her 2nd sorrow get pregnancy. she knows all about the home on medication that is needed, find implanted pregnancy, and to worry about whether it will work. she asked us not to identify her on the

piazza. and i went to study man, because you, you have to live in a walk, you're doing that and at, up once. so he's 5050 is that i will gain or lose. i was all of his really bright saunders, mental degree for the gold allen. listen to the positive so that i went off with my time. and i thought they're positive, like maybe 2 or 3 months, you still have to be careful too because you got to lose its, its own is not careful for that, but you scary. how does she think she'll feel when she has the babies and gives them to the parents? how can i, what is on my egg? says no, my spam, i'm just a courier. i have my own children. that is i can do this l. e. but i don't sure i can do it because it is mine and i can afford to lose my own child. but in this case, i'm just a courier says when my child if you look for a sorrow, gisy lawyer,

nigeria, this is what you find. the reason to one currently parents, sorry, gets on agencies use contract law did it says she would like to see a smooth or better regulated system. so everyone involved has more certainty. she wants to help others who have struggled with infertility, have the children they want. like she does so surrogacy is clearly not uneasy procedure. what makes it even more complicated? an idea is that there is no clear legal framework guide in the process. so how much of a challenge is that? i asked that she knew a been in the commercial lawyer in boucher well, it was a very big challenge because right now from what i understand personally no contracts you know,

on the usual sort of either or just the reasons for commercial reasons. not because there's no guidance or guidance on this issue. it's from to i views, you know, i'm sure you have most of head of a baby factory along across nigeria. well, cost be $200.00 people on the on the issue. so there's a kind of a black market right now, because if it's all free to just came to me jewels, the silver gave me the best more dr. local abuse might call me, you know, there's no copying of that because the law does not provide for this issue and seen it girl on the age girl might be pointed people from disadvantage communities might be going to,

for financial reasons. so i mean, it sounds very sales that this whole situation could be abused. why is the government trying to do anything about it? why is there no particular law for 3rd se? oh, no man, you know, we, we feel we're very right. a traditional country, you know, a lot of issues i know of in the front. one of the things that issue, like i said, reproduction is it's still something that a lot of people don't want to talk about. it's just the past 56, that seems like i vs getting why done now in my euro here, because i'll post your job traditional know what's remain warm

to be the want to come with the children before 10. yeah. yeah. i mean, i think you've made up points clear back to the type of contract still because this is the issue you're talking about, the black market side of it. but as also, i don't know if we can see white, mike audit legal, so to speak market of it's where people openly are saying, yeah, this is an agency where just like a report we saw the say, this is an agency where, you know, if you're struggling to have a kid, you can come and we can provide you with a surrogate mother, so to speak. so it seems, it's also being done in the open. how do you just oppose the galaxy between that and the black market situation? ok now what is the hot to the end of the contract to a pen the between maybe like i mentioned the so again, agencies that handle this issue now move from the subject to the

contract. government contract. no, that's not contract with an individual. now, we got to look if there was no mis, mister with mr. and patient, but you don't the policies the so again, more than or the, the, the, the women. and i'd be nice to say, you know, all matthew, out on that issue. most be present. it also the most will be you read, you know, those, the sort gets more that shouldn't be any time on the, to read to set to be a surrogate is the contract ends on the, on that do it. now it's, it's void. who on the night you run low leave, you have a charge of less than a fee is agreed to be. if someone gets mother the contract is void. in fact,

it's not on why that been issue. you know, so there are a lot of them will be an issue to why examining soft so we'll get contracts. ok. kenny, a lot of issues need to be ironed out if such a law as to exist that she in a new event. i'm a lawyer in boucher. thank you very much for your time. thank you very much. now the option of fertility treatment is also complicated and expensive in africa and beyond adding to the distress and stigma that the effect of people already face. i discuss this with pre year fear by the president of the association for fraternity and reproductive health nigeria. he starts by telling us the state of infertility in africa, most populous country. it's the most common reason for gynecological notation in most of our clinics. and the a,

the prevalence appears to be increasing recently and has seen many more people complaining of inability to conceive. but i mean, that has my attention. why does it seem that more and more people are suffering from infertility? well, maybe because awareness is better. unfortunately, most of the data we have is based on hospital soviets and a lot of clients who go to clinics outside where research is done and not captured . so we have a lot of people, the health system is divided into 2 main sectors. that the for my health system is, unplug, most of the government, hospitals attend to those that are reported. well, we have

a large number of private facilities who probably get up for even more than the patients that we see in government hospitals. and most of the data from the office is not reported. however, we are recently trained. busy carriers nationwide, so the, so that we have a better understanding of the provenance of it. yeah, definitely be sounds like a challenge now when it comes to in fertility, basically meaning not being able to have kids many point fingers are there woman. but as we know, as you said, a bit earlier man can also be in fair to al, isn't that right? absolutely, absolutely. and it's not just meant panels to leave that. you know, experience generally about 30 percent of cases are due to factors in the woman. another 30 percent in fact you to 5000 in man. and then we

have about 20 percent where you have combination of factors in both the man and the woman. and then for about 10 percent was a on explain. so for today, because we really can't pinpoint it now and what's me because in so men or women in our environment contribute equally to the cause issues. what are some of the practical things that one can do to increase chances of having kids? so start from those who have not yet commenced the process and we advise preventive measures before you move that train. good dia, healthy lifestyle exercise. avoid multiple central class. avoid debacle. and alcohol as much as you can, and that's where you reduce the risks that you encounter. and then for those who

initiated the process and have started train, how long don't wait for too long. if you notice that is a problem, you should seek appropriate medical care any so simple methods like a general practitioners and then you want a streams to do so. but when it starts becoming complicated, it would be wise to see again, ecologist and if need be, if it gave you appropriately. if i reach you and can give you the appropriate treatment that will assist in getting you pregnant. doctor, pre a fear by president of the association for fertility and reproductive health in nigeria. thank you. now imagine this, you settled in a new country for many years. it's a place that even feels like home,

but now the government is trying to kick you out. that's the situation of faith in nearly $200.00 thousands and barbarians in south africa who were granted residency in 2008 on a case that called decide the fate human rights groups have asked the court to stop the government from doing so by the clock is ticking us residents, parents will expire at the end of june. did abuse christine wound were met a t change or harness bag whose hoping to remain in south africa? far from his home in zimbabwe been met, henry is contemplating the future. his life in south africa might soon be coming to him and he's been earning a living in johannesburg, teaching and waiting for it to do for me. go to wake, to go to school in the morning. and then later, go to western boys at the school limit in the mush

after the went around and nixon is emmy is learned when my endings are site to children and the wife and other issues with little porch. what i seen too much on what i can live and work legally in south africa because he has as and bobby an exemption permit. these permits were offered to some bobbins who had been living in south africa and documented. and those who were seeking asylum of to some babe's violent election in 2008. now, after 12 years, the south african government is canceling. the permit and permit holders have been told to apply for work visas. but these will only be given to applicants with critical skills like the majority of permit holders, montgomery, his work is not considered to be critical over the border. but while his wife and 2

daughters worry about him having to return to some bubbling, made, or the adjuster, and i don't know how in mutating you decide what i'm ending? i can, we can sustain the things i want to afford to pay for the why children. yes, he's in the any date coming back to him is that a lee? a life changing thing? it means that i'll have to drop out of college of what it is that a colleague in i'm about to finish. so if he comes back to the me, that means i have to drop out a colleague living standards ins above we have been in decline since the early 2, thousands to day about half of the population is reported to be living in poverty. some bobbins have my greater to neighboring countries in big numbers. many have come to south africa. and there is

a growing anti immigrant sentiment in south africa that has at times escalades is divided on foreign. some have suggested that the government and raises popping in taking the decisions with the authorities here maintain that home is we're always a temporary arrangement and therefore, wait, citizenship all her minute residents rights groups have asked a court to stop the government from canceling the permits. there was no public consultation and with the stakeholders prior to the decision being made to terminate the the permits. if you have enabled people to, you found families from lives here and careers that she give them a fair opportunity to make representations so that you understand the circumstances of the a lives and what they faith when you make the decision to terminate. and that is

absent in terms of the decision that has been made by the south african government . here been madison were at hope's. the court will rule in favor of the appeal. he doesn't want to go back to some bubbly. so judge that dresser, soaking st. dopey and go big games that the game is fairly framed on finding guilty, food or other go somewhere if the court rejects the appeal, ben, missouri and others and bobby an exemption permit holders have until the end of june to leave south africa just so you know we reached out to south africa ministry for home affairs for comment, but they didn't respond to our requests. the court case goes, i had next week. and one of the legal practitioners representing some autism bobbins affected a sim batch of tando. as in bobby and lawyer, based in south africa, he told me why he thinks he can win. the case argument is

that when people have been in the country residing lawfully, these are not legal immigrants. these are not refugees. these are people that have lawful rights in the country for the past 12 years. that is no longer a temporary arrangement. it is a situation where the vast majority of these people have given almost 2 decades of their most productive lives. and, and yet they are differently permanently in the country. and they have goods roots in the country. they've got the bonds of homes and that they're paying for. they've got financial arrangements that with children in the country, they've got the contribution to the fiscal of the, of the country and the gross domestic product of the country. so there are differently, i'm returning the country without it. ok. ok. but here's the thing. who, who decides whether they should be there permanently or temporarily?

is that not the government? the law, the government applies to legislation. so, in this, in this matter, the law says after 5 years or any foreign national who has lawfully lived in south africa, should be allowed to apply for permanent residency in the country. and that is what you will be arguing. well, at least i will be arguing that in court, on tuesday next week, on the 11th of april, the law says after 5 years, and bob nationals, all the city you hold us that i'm representing have a right to apply for can residency and the government can only deny the application if they have committed a crime. if they have been in any way violated the,

they stay in the country prior to the application for them to residency. and none of that has been alleged. what has actually happened is that the government is decided, look, we have made a decision for you to leave after 12 years. and throughout those 12 years, the government just try to block. this is important to try to block the city. the city p older, the suburbans attempts to apply for permanent residency in the country for the past 1213 years. ok? but when you say they've tried to blog, what does the government stand to gain from? from this action the government then the african government does not stand to do anything and asked if anything the stand to lose a lot by the decision, the center who's you know, skilled some bob wins who are on the city. you know,

who are part of the economic fabric of this country, the real estate of the country they, they stand to lose a lot. but notwithstanding the fact that they stand to lose a lot and they have seen the evidence, we've showed it to them as part of the proceedings that they stand to lose a lot from the situation. there's a mass exodus also involvements, but they still, they've done it anyway. and the reason why i believe they've done it is because they're appealing to the populace who have shown recently, i think, is as recently as last year that they will vote for smaller parties. that once involvement out. so the agencies under pressure and they said, look, we don't care if we would rather stay in power and then protect the bobbins in the country.

now so far, 2023 has been very busy for many and i area especially considering that presidential elections were held earlier this year. so maybe it's time to catch a break as we get into the long easter weekend, you know, use a lease that you kumar from our studio in lagos. nigeria looks at how some people will be spending their time. ah, around half of niger escalation is tracing to the grateful here and elsewhere is that is the most important festival of the year and will be heading to church. newton is the period we are asked took, possess, holly, not only did he say, but what is the sally during that time? you can simply do your hats. what do you do? how you behave for me. misery. right? it is happiness. it has no idea. lucas, anything?
