to minimize them, we have an opportunity to get it right before we even start. is this true major conservation, or only green washing? deep sea creek, the 45 minutes on the w. w . west port winning offer if he's available worldwide. and for every language level. learning german has never been simpler german to go. the, this is need of the news africa coming up on the programs waiting nigeria cheap field. the president is defending his decisions. this prep the subsidy though it is pausing paint at the country spinning station, also coming up on the show. pennsylvania is more than to get into the presidency of the me. i have fun. she's bringing change,

but we may feel position space is to say she must do more. lots of problems. give snapped up by germany. supper legend low thomas, here's what's in it for the gun and club. the hello. i'm christine. when do i, it's good to have your company. niger is president bullets, you know, who has asked for patients as he defends his decision to stop subsidizing feel. the government saves the subsidy, which has been in place since 1977 will officially be withdrawn from the end of june. it comes at a time when nigerians already struggling to cope with record high on employment and poverty. inflation in the country. is that an 18 year high? the cost of fuel and transport has already risen sharply since prism to know who made the announcement in his in alteration speech. and people are paying up to 3

times as much at the bottom. a closed petrol stations, twos of people desperate to fill up a stations that has to open and skyrockets, and prizes. my germans have been accustomed to chips you for decades. but now with the costs of subsidies, people here in the ghost say they can't afford the increase in causes. accordingly, the waste subsidy have really been had a nice for my lea at them, and then they'll give you freely top 18490 boards assets. yes, the i bought one detail for 100 for 435. now presently, while we look at transportation, going to was east hi uh um, maybe or any nights work. you know what you can watch the food. everything is expensive. so man is really affecting those,

the gomez. you just have miss your named your app and all of this, um salary has one cruise. so you'd imagine. so one uh, a friend of mine is so $700.00 from. so look at it to licky, who now pays 10021005 is understanding it 2000. so it doesn't do much. there's lots in the nice area runs on the field. it's not just cause the system trucks. people rely on generate to supply the homes and businesses, and the price hike is having a knock on what prizes have reason to many nights around. so a red is struggling with both of these extra bad. my java is oh, rich and one of the top 2 crew of expletives on the continent. but it cannot refine enough. so it has important, it's petrol and sold it to the public, to subsidize surprise, the res, hope

a new refinery by told what's in the meantime. should my insurance has stopped paying the real price of petrol? assumable ones melting you? is that the government you keep like pay for it? lets enjoy the country like lets the poor risk. lydia and roots. yeah, i thought you picked off people of quotes for you for a long time. might be beneficial for everybody. well, it's, you know, everybody is suffering. imagine the full by raleigh fix of these. so if you do remove out possible, there's only going to go home. you know, food prices every oh, that's the and i don't know. i think i think we'll get it for some time after which is the refinery. so being constructed on them. so yeah, being close to that, i think the price of fair will reduce law. sometimes it will be just on, i think 90 want to just j to something. it's not the 1st time this on popular move

has been this caused previous administrations of sold of bucks away from seen. it's through. so cuts into feel subsidies will be major tests for tables administration . looking back, should nigeria have subsidize the building up refineries rather than the price of fuel? well, we put that question to how long was stuff a, she's an economist based in a put you or the slow we finally do this for me between the sixty's normal function as we speak 10 percent capacity. also we do the same for the close at 4, so you'd be fine. right? which was the right thing to do when we finish

for the next 2. so he doesn't come cheat refineries prior to the crisis. right. well, so they come to fire consumption. yeah. you with most of the instructors and and while you're on the points and the world is now moving away from fossil fuels very quickly. does nigeria have a plan to transition from its oil dependency to measure the transmission?

the expression added to the adoption in the production for the 2013 and then the target is 265. so we have that right. how how do i talk about trust you expect to see where it says, you know, we have lost 16 dollars

oil you know you know, sign into the image. so to become part of the district goals. so when we fire show, when we complete, when we cry, when we know for sure that you know it's all excited to us to be right back. thank you very much ma'am. well, it has to be, but they won't even say how them was stuff, but i took it to us and it was

a thank you the intends and yet it's been more than 2 years since the mia has son took over the presidency of a inheriting power directly from her previously. so the latest john michael, fully a career politician. she's the 1st female president of the nation. that it's fair to say her time and office has seen her portends in the out of pocket to transition opposition. figures ostracized and imprisoned under member 40 have been welcome back into the fold and cheese relaxed restrictions on the press, licensing position publications banned by who freed us as a taking us and to her directly addressing the press. my job is to work with journalists, communicating developments through the sustainable development goals. and i do, if we use the no one should be left behind to see, do journalists have a significant contribution to development? so why should i work alone and leave you tens of millions behind?

it's not possible. if you have any problems, we should sit down, talk and understand the government's challenges. and i can express your concerns so that we can build our country together. the whole point. so is her son now the in the country told grace and media freedom? does the reforms go far enough for here's the view from an award winning journalist on the front line of free speech as an investigative journalist and the founder of the permanent wasteful blowing website. jimmy forms max's mellow 5th to significant challenges and the previous regime for if using to name the names of the sources. and possibly as i was a freeman at the previous administration and to let them freeze an instruction. when i looked at incident been 16 and had that a number of cases in court, 3 cases, criminal cases at 4 not cooperating with they told me to review this will says of

content. and those cases came to an ending november printed printed after getting before the quote, a $159.00 times. for more than 15 years. jimmy forums has provided a platform for open discussions in townsend. yet, that has made each one of the most prominent socially picking sites in the country, despite the best efforts of the previous leadership of the late joining model fleet . and the wish it was subject to numerous obstacles and oppressive law enforcement back now may lucy's positive change in press freedoms and free speech in 1000. yeah . prison. somebody, her son who took all facing pretty to into one has broke into significantly from happy faces, policies. she has lifted the media button and advise the freedom of speech within the country. so you kind of compare the content and says you are the president, especially thomas to freedom of expression. and that is the number of cases. what

about option weight? uh now the, so we didn't buy the media, they needed the platforms and that you're not going to be out of it as than for taking it to the public. places come to the public and they respond previously from to quote advice in following that. but at the moment they have to come and respond, which is what we need when it comes to governance. milos dedication to a free press, both in the past and google believe in him. the 2019 press freedom award from the comic t to protect the june of these and several other accolades. but here remains skeptical about the current state of affairs in the country. those bundles still in place. i think we need to amend all of these little to make sure that they are according to what a the,

the thing is besides proposing all the human rights. whoops. i proposing because we have battles with infinity people's rights. and to that, and we can look at a light on the amount of decision on that decision. we need to how we can things with the basis of what we decide and how we way. because if it's not the way does not the course of vision over the constitutional reforms that does it go by thomas toward menlo is expanding jimmy for runs st. true to his creed or the social media has the power back to the people and full on the stage of politics in terms anyhow, my next guest is the chair of the main opposition party, the center. i tell him, mr. freeland both welcome to dw news africa in july 2021. you were arrested ahead for a ready you were charged with terrorism. and last year,

you were released from prison off to 7 months. the charges were dropped and has the opposition. at times it had now been free to do its work. i don't say the position is be feed my country, but what i can set the list is this position has improved from what it used to be right before my interest. mm hm. yeah. so when we look at the current president, somebody has sense, right quick now, she took over from and all towards harry and atlanta. she now looks to be bringing change at that times it is can really believe and that makes your job as a position hard. it doesn't, it's not at all, not at all. she's bringing change us, but the changes are coming in to slow and we believe that much more would be done, but wanted, i'll get that that, which is why she would pets need another to him because she's opened up the civic

space. she's allowing the position to operate the world bank said that the private sector as an engine of economic growth, has been tapped into really what's not to like and, and why would intensity is giving them more time to really get what she wants to do going you see, talking about the civic space and talking about the, you know, a party to call freedom that we think we enjoyed the country the so i, i will basic rights the don't have to be given by the discretion of the president and intends on. yeah. for for back my top, we have had a few feet or more space shrinking. right? political space shrinking. sabina writes and you know, liberties shrinking. he's from, does this thing that 6, you know, she's reversing quite slowly. you know, the freedom of the people needs to be guaranteed. right. and you selection,

but not by the, by the discretion of a president seats. when she came back to office, she says when she took the office, nothing much has changed in terms of changes and the selection. ok, she's given some presidential degree. we can author, it is political parties and other activities can also or parenting ties any. yeah. but this freedom of the media that is being, you know, like horrible that they had been given to, you know, the freedom of the media and whatever. but right now, just as the same old press you've lowe's, because that prohibit the freedom of expression and freedom of the media bessie there. okay. they haven't been changed. yeah, i don't see she took a while. if it's this is a sick idea now. right. i mean, some of these things do take time, but i, i want to understand what's going on with the messaging from, from your policy. because in, in the election in 2020 you 113 percent of that was down from 40 percent

in the previous election. as it seems you having to do a lot of work to win back. the trust of times it is what is why is your message resonating? now we have a lot of support of design. yes, there was no election. the 2020 that goes together that this was going in the election. we had an election in 2015. yes. but the elections in 2020, that was my election. what temporaries us that we're giving out to the public were or public aid though fabricated. we had bottled favor, a big bottle of bulk says talk with fake a bottle of papers. we had most of the candidates of these qualified the very initial stage. so we can really say there is also the 2020 election to reflect the after the tuition on the ground now. so um of course we know we have a moment this test to do me as a no pollution political button turns on. yeah. but our party's got big credit, you know? okay, you talked about it and memphis task and the cc and the routing part to intense any

of this is africa 2nd longest reading party. they've been in pa, for nearly 50 years now. what is that going to take? to make them history, to remove them from power? let me tell you what. we've fee and fair election. cc him, he's out the by tomorrow and they know this. see, so in this him can not we, the government. we've gain transparent fair election, so they know that that's why they've been very difficult in accepting from the mental changes that will ensure that in the next election of a country, go into the elections with the independent and, you know, and look for commission. they don't want to go into the next election with the new enclose, you've caustic fusion that we all are fighting to get. and in all these things before they know that in real fast, they have popularity among the masses of our country is really green dot. you're talking about the next election that's going to be in 2025 groups and testing for

the presidency before would you be running for president in the next election test? we have to end off. he has to go weeks where decided how to cross the river by the time we get by is toilet to talk about it now. all right, that's mr. freeman. bully chem and ultimate opposition pot to intensive and the the center right to them. and we appreciate having you and dw he's africa. thank you very much. i appreciate now the gentleman football legend and bundle when a low time a chance has become co, not off the gun in football club across lions, the form of buying music, pay a hoops. the club can serve as a pipeline to european clips. and then this would be gave to the german magazine. he said, we want to bring young soccer players to europe legitimately and well trained. that's why we're investing into the training facility here. now we've checked in with the cloud that one of the training sessions do. yeah, how they feel about their new own is to these days there is

a bass around the training dates of the acura ly, on in gun it's a company called the collapse mission is identifying and developing. yes of good times. helping them become professionals in ghana and beyond. it's in your old mit filled out for it because the drange did collab just over a year ago and already feels he has ripped the rewards. it's law on the, on the fluid that's ly owns and focuses on, on inform deerfield personality as a whole. how we would fits into the society, especially when you are leaving please. when i know it's going to fluid. so minus your kids, these and all that stuff. so i do believe dr with time 5 to if i did dream way, i want to be like, oh so we would study rates and our dream to be possible. founded in 2015 extra lie on. so we're promoted to the premium leak in 2021 and half sales as published

themselves in the top division. the investment by a group around little, some of the as will focus on improving facilities and training, as well as creating the past week for talents to transition to european football e. as through time out to us and keep them on coming colors and mixing new dots day, something you can achieve. because the new things that to do new he, he has experience in the football. so he sees test and as that is why, maybe colleges to invest his money systems present in european football as to waltz or we buy to lie on sports. jim's francis groups that much yes, his presence will trade down more interest for me if i sees with, with the investors coming on board. i'm hoping that other people will come in and

hopefully have of develop gone gone football, which is really important to me and to the products. and so everyone involved in equity lines that the whole would have gone to benefits from these kind of investments. yet football type thing, so boned in gonna more money quoted mean more young please realize the dreams of making a big in football and to del small, into the business of soccer and africa, i'm joined by like they do we from dw sports holidays. it's good to have you in the studio. so the former captain off and germany's national football team will tell mathias. he's both a club in gonna tell us more about the business model that these investors all pursuing here. so just yeah, so the idea is to have a se, in where the parents come from, you know, a carolie owns the funding 2015 by for my, a gun, a,

a block size player from country and boom. so they've been growing ever since into the, into the leak and then now playing the top division. so now this investment is to allow the, you know, have a, have an inroad for, again, young players to come to you. we looked at my sales is, uh uh, he's staying in to you of your market. he's a for my, uh, industry guy, legend and he, he has a lot of impacting you so he can bring p as directly from, from gonna into the top one. this is the clubs because somebody has already come from the club in the past, but now you can control who comes in and how, how the value these places. but also the business with it is now also been turned around for can into if you know, is that not also opening closing? you said lee, the piece that found a finance tech entropy. no. and i just feel like, you know,

i do both the club in denmark and northern nigeria and have a question. i mean, already has a club in, in punch, a go. so you know, it's coming around, but it's interesting the way exclusively. so the idea is they, they developed the applicant talent and, and then they expose it to your and, and, and that's the saying of the plays. it's been how the cups generate with us. so the trends, so income helps the gloves go and ride the shell, hold as also make money from the okay and goes on. so it's what you're saying is that the shareholders make the money from the spend will. well, no, colleagues in africa, benefits uh from, for an invest is buying clubs like we're seeing with lots of mateus, with the aim of grooming talent to exported to your local tubs and africa benefit from this. it is, it is going to be good for the lease. yes, it's going to be good for the leads, because now you're going to have a higher level of competition with good job financing all these globes, and hopefully they grow their infrastructure also because that cloud is going to

play, especially after that allows a play in the in, in the national so you don't mean that class, but perhaps this investment from those are my sales is a group can help them build a stadium of their own. but also, you know, if you, if you, it will show for the investors that is a potentially in the market space. do i have for dental offices? and if you are a potential in face and you're looking around your shopping around for a time in africa, where is the best talent right now? well, the interest of the, the best islands have come from west africa, down on nigeria increasingly send you go my the booking at fossil so i would look at this piece has gotten a really looks like a very investment friendly place. but also nightdress growing. the business space, the we just recently passed the spots of business policy document that can help us maintain support. so these are countries where you talents on the investment from your own really, you know, bring returns into in those countries. well,

interesting, it's a buffet. no, i they, i do we as always, always good talking to you about sports and that is we will leave it for today. do take out our website for most stories on the w dot com, forward slash applicant. we're also on facebook and onto a site. it's bye for now. i'll see you next step by the the, the

one small step for a robot vacuum. one joint leap for exploiting the ocean floor. but this time, a research team will study the possible risk 1st. in order to minimize them. we

have an opportunity to get it right before we even start. is this true nature conservation, or only green washing? deep sea greek, the 15 minutes on dw, the, the only way i can be on the top is to create my own empire, discover stories to just to click away the journey, the destination right? find this document trees before the friday, the 2nd named street, the one of mankind's oldest ambitions could be within
