and we've got some hot tips for your package that manage the corners, boats affinities, check and some great cultural memorials to boot travel regarding the business, dw, and use africa coming up on the program. kanza is killing a growing number of africans. that is the continents well equipped to fights. it's an idea. we meet a celebratory who survives cancer and is now using his platform to create the awareness about that disease. also ahead as well. i for comes my great, we look at where they are going and why do seeking asylum in south africa? having to wait for us before and get an answer. and a kenya, we look at how fashion is inspiring and young dots is to face the challenges. on

dream big the i, i'm eddie mike, a junior and you welcome to the program. october is breast cancer awareness month at the time when companion is around a well educated people on the disease and the importance of l. e. cap. now, while africa has one of the lowest incidence rates of breast cancer in the world, it's mortality rate is higher compared to other regions. although it comes up as a whole is a rapidly growing health concern in africa. research on the disease, so has a long way to go. we'll discuss that a bit later on the program a fast. let's go to time i live in north im gonna work on pain is i've been on the streets, creates and awareness. it's one of the growing number of initiatives to encourage

people to get screens to these techs comes, i added some of the lease to it as wide as drive is so important. i done to help create our n as to the public, especially the women, the men to add 3 by a mall procedures. i bought a woman at 2020. i think we had no more to about 65 cases, new cases. 12022. we had almost about 68 cases. that's what i did. 22. so now we're apply that all most of my how do i know what the case is? well, i mean that not that part of that. so that's what i'm telling you, that breast cancer is really becoming that bad. then at that point i probably need to know about it. but that's why we on yesterday, because as long as that spring in violence k on box, she's a research electra at the university of the medical school. hello and welcome to the program of them octo by is breast cancer awareness month. but with all this awareness,

how much capability is there on the continent to detect and treat to this type of concept? well, basically this pretty then the nipples that i use it used for screening don't require much sophisticated piece. many times it's you, you couldn't quite examination as most of you as well. and i also sounds, i'm just going submission of costs as can be done without anything that's soon as it's available everywhere for as long as the people know wants to do possible press examination, you have to know exactly how to do it. so as long as the knowledge is that is locked out to sound is widely available in the commitment even lower. so centers, the most ultrasounds are being used for diagnostic purposes, of course problems. so as using data source for screening. so it's a strain, but otherwise the facility for using ultrasound for breast cancer screening is the

most intense enough for that? well, that's definitely good news, right? but what is causing the increased number of kinds of cases across the continent cause the numbers are rising? is it the lifestyle? what we eat and drink? what is it? that's what things is. it's the question you have to ask. is that, is it, is it for increase, or is it because, oh, it does most a cup of demetrius up increase, or remember, that's when you start screening. then you became more lesions. you be picking off patients, different people, which really small tiny cub says that might not mean physically actually disease. later on, you're going to pick them and you're going to comb step. so sometimes when it was printing for something, you expect the numbers to ship to the other things that it could be a real increase in that there's a lot of lifestyle changes in, in, in africa and that environment on these factors that play. that's right. now it's very so very easy to actually decides to get to the,

to the fact that is an increase or is it because we are the listings and detection capability to serve actually improve? i see, well, counselor is one of the leading causes of death in africa. what is the state of counselor research on the continent overall? it's very, very easy to, in fact i recently, we did a review of nature just to try to see how much out there or how much was which is happening. and that's because very, very, very to and it's, and that's coincidence of these to something countries. but very few of those countries that actually do research and that is appropriate mean. so, and that is why even the question on increasing numbers becomes problematic because there was many people doing extra research to tell us what the, the correct numbers. so everything is based on a lot of the split the little estimates for many countries there. but the problem is that the few countries in africa that's have population wide coastal registries

. so again, that's a problem. how do we know how much disease there is? is standard there just results covering all the areas and increasing the areas. so to answer the question, the shots, there's not much of research going on income, so i'm asking you to choose the if the project. i agree, it definitely is a painting. but if we know all of these problems, what are we doing to solve these problems? first step the tree right now talking about he's send a really appreciate it and then go to your, your, your contact to say like this. that's still kind of what this does have income position because i focus, he's extremely important. what has made this enabled this tool to sort of come cutting h a v if you didn't make you can compete as well as cause a lot of people for team resources over the news, people with money government organizations or is it rentals i liked it?

so that's probably monday putting resources. once you put in your sources in a disease, it's much easier to actually hundreds and do research. so the starting point for comes right now is that ok see we need to start talking about it. we need to start projecting these numbers. having, making hitchens, actually to say, look, look at the number of people data in this quote to them. and there's not enough that's being done this, that's doing something about it. right. file, that's kind of research. i electra how the university of them. yeah. medical. so thank you very much for your time. i the prostate cancer. there's another form of the disease. it is the most commonly diagnosed, comes in man, and the rest increases as man get older. according to research, prostate cancer is more prevalent among black african men, then a white man, and is more likely to strike up to a young age. the good news is that disease is treatable, f detected early, but

a bad news is many mental, uncomfortable to even talk about this deed of use. all these extra komatt takes us to make us in nigeria, a country where one in full man about the age of 50, face the risk of developing prostate cancer. happy to be back on his scooter. 73 year old child, so we'll put that takes a ride around these old mean lagos. charlie boy, as he used called, is well known in major risk entertainment c box in april this year to rebuild on social media, his bottle with prostate cancer. oh. first i didn't know what was going, what was happening, my prostate cancer i had into my bladder and just taking over my blood my, my, my, where my p comes out from, you know,

was almost closer. and then because it was waste in my bladder, it started to get kind of serious. the next day i was in for surgery, i was messing around about that and that was i was saved. prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of death in old. i'm an inmate, jerry, but studies reveal menus to know little about the disease and some 82 percent of men who by the age of 14 have never been screamed or tested. the 1st is because i bet, i don't know. we saw the sex and so if it's what i'm middleton, i don't know that i know cause as though it is dangerous sickness. that's not, i don't know. but of course i would like to know on the, at my age level and i is now and i know that's a high probability that i'll be having those issues, you know,

but i definitely like to cross check. i know most many weights for too long before gets in the checkout says the professor or do i owe the acquittal? you'd want to just add the legless university college of medicine so that that's does a problem. and because of that, a lot of efficient by time to come to sort of yog vines, disease, their color, they come in late. so they're coming at this stage where tricked weights cannot be purely to for, you know. and so that, that's a big problem. you kind of what was that they cannot make realities, the major area kind of make prostate cancer treatments expensive, but an issue of how treatments kind of fig sexual performance is also a sensitive topic for men. so you have many people go forward and unfortunately most of the time for prostate cancer, we involve the loss of furniture. okay, so that's one of the major factor where people will, when they know they put the plastic on side,

the middle one to receive treatment does disappear. he does need to be properly console. that to give them do it to effect a security. uh, not everybody, but we need to fix it. uh, we have treatments for that as well. a spot 1st, they must learn about the various placements available to them. and that is why charley boy hopes that by going public, which is the prostate cancer, it will help us like kansas speak about to take action. shame to talk about a lot of my friends, a lot of people that i know you know, i've passed on foot because of this problem. and because they were more than they were not even telling the wives those, the ones that are moderate and just how bad and you know, they knew the go is and then in may,

a new law was passed. the major area making education about breast or cervical, prostate cancer, compulsory in high schools, but expect still wants more to be done in the area of awareness. and the advice meant to begin prostate cancer screening from the age of 40 on joining me now from a crack on a is the, i'll be the outcome, the scientist on the see. all of you maci biotechnology company focusing on concert research in africa. hello and welcome to programs and are you into really fine, how kind of sized diagnosed and treated in africa? what's the problem with how it's currently being done or so? so the problem is not so much an issue of how it's being done in advertise really about how it's done globally. currently most cancer research occurs in north america and in, in, in eastern europe a little bit in asia now. but majority of the dates are that is used, the majority of the patients that are being studied,

people of european answers. so the numbers are something like about almost 80 percent of do, you know, make information. so information on your, on genomes that is available for research comes from people of european ancestry. now people of european access the account for less than 10 percent of the global population. so when you have 80 percent of your research data coming from less than 10 percent of your population, that creates an issue. so a little above all we know about cancer, which is a genetic disease you know, is driven by mutations in genes in your body. majority of what we know is from people of european ancestry. so most of the clinical trials that have been run to try to test cancer, drugs or tests, new diagnostics have done focused on people of european ancestry. and so there is growing evidence that these drugs and some of these diagnostic tools do not work as well. and people who are not of european defense. and so there is a need to diversify their research base so that we develop drugs that's work in all

people irrespective. and they are from i think that's a pretty interesting what you say. have you found anything unique to comstock cases in africa as well? so there's lots of data, i mean we have very new company, we've only been doing this for about 2 years. but there are lots of scientific legit publish from people you know in the us and other places who i've looked at. um, you know, all the cities especially looking at people of african descent and is this clear evidence that certain types of concept present differently. a good example is breast cancer where you have this some type of breast cancer called triple negative breast cancer. it is much more prevalent in women of african descent done in and any of that. and triple negative risk us, what happens to be one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer and usually presents in young go with. so usually you think of breast cancer as a disease that placement beyond the f 14 in gun 9 and many african countries. and

indeed people of african descent all over the world. you find women, even in the teens or early twenties, we're presenting with breast cancer. so that is just one example of prostate cancer in black man is also, you know, twice as likely to cause death. then in occasion meant. so there are a number of these, you know, there's, there's a lot of evidence suggesting that kinds of presents differently. and in some cases, presents more aggressively if people of african descent, but there is currently not a lot of research to explain why this is what that is, what we are trying to do up to you much. why not keeping? when you talk about cons, i is the treatment of it, it can be very expensive. now your company isn't investing in cutting edge biotechnology and even a i, how would i would use the cost of treating concept? so you know, this is, you know, the some ways you can take it. busy so best buy in the long view, if we have better tools to diagnose cards though, we diagnose cancer alia, that will cut the cost. many people, unfortunately,

being done on many african countries, only present to the hospital in the secondary advanced stages. at that stage, it is both very expensive and also the, the chances of that treatment resulting in successful cure is of these already diminished. so one of the, you know, the ways we are, we are a lifestyle where research company focused on really trying to understand the disease among african people. one of the ways we will contribute towards reducing the cost is by allowing us to give a little better tools to diagnose, but then also better tools to treat small specifically. so the quicker you can treat somebody and the more directly you can treat them, you can begin to drive down the costs of care. additionally, we're also interested in improving diagnostic access. so many of the more like a diagnostic technologies that are available and taken for granted to europe and north america are not available in most parts of africa. and so within our work, in addition to our research, we are interested in finding ways to improve access to these diagnostics across the

african continent so that people get diagnosed area and then ultimately not just save money but save lives. right now vehicle science is focusing on cancer research and i forgot thank you very much for your insights or thank you. you're watching dw news africa still to come here from a canyon design. i on why have passion, full fashion beats best you in a conventional career that fast. the number of migraines across africa has risen sharply in the past decade. as war crises and climate change have agreed to have a bouncer called in to the u. n's migration agency, the vast majority of migrants around 80 percent do not leave the confidence for them ivory coast in the west, uganda, in the east and south africa out of the top destinations. most people are arriving

in south africa, come from was on b, as in bob with an estimate suggest around 3, millions and bob wins are currently living in the country. this situation has led to a significance backlog in paperwork with a large number of asylum seekers waiting for us to receive a response to the applications to read. and becky hasn't been home in 12 years. she's from the democratic republic of congo, which she campaign for human rights. but often another activist was killed chiefly to south africa. she 1st applied for asylum in 2011 and has had a teen extensions on her application. she's a recognized asylum seeker, but still has not obtained full refugee status. if you're a proceeds confusing and frustrating, i was busy now. when did they? i can follow up with them and they didn't receive me. i make you to tell me by the

last. c when i came, this is my scott mental dance you so that you, you, it took so long there was no to revisit, leaves receiving it and they said there's no annual by adding dates. so i must go back to my house. i must have the fly. so do when i gives me the if, if i have to now imagine mackey is one of many thousands of people seeking asylum in south africa. they feed many african countries like she did, but also come from as far as park this done. and india, the road to permanent refugee status as long and difficult many or rejected. and then appeal, which also takes a long time. this can be people in the side, in limbo for years, this car and see a backlog of a 130000 asylum appeal applications. in the last 2 years, the department of homer, faith has managed to process only 20000 applications. and if they continue at this

rate, it will mean that it will take 13 years for them to keep the current backlog. all the while new applications are being made. every day. the government admits that it's struggling to clear the case load. the appeals to see me, so that's a good a and very poorly designed. you saw an engine because you cannot beautiful ever. it's been so difficult that in 2021 the south african government partnered with the you in reference to the agency in an attempt to clear the backlog. but that projects funding has been cut by 2 thirds. meaning becky and many others wait even longer for a final decision on the applications. and it's a backlog means the asylum seekers state. this is not extended. she could be shut out of crucial facilities like her bank account. why do we have a problem that was open, the bank needs to up there, most of them when you do,

you extend your documents. so when you decide to do the extend, which means is not possible for them to update. so when i miss many things, the south african government says many of those seeking asylum are looking for work not safety. one of the starting point with my supervisor, there is a program of going to meet migration and we must keep the reach and to dr. laws important visions about how easy it does we otherwise don't always be a problem. the catholic system makes things worse for people like irene. the situation is hard enough as it is. she hasn't seen her daughter since she left. the goal was 3, been, she's 15 now. now a korea in fashion is a passion for many in kenya. but for those who go up in low income settlements like

vera and i will be, that dream can seem quite distant. mainly because such professions are not always seeing us look creative, but they could verify some weak has helped create the opportunity for especially young people to pursue it. korea, in the fashion industry of the main mom was against it. she usually told me that freshman is not tech costeo was working for you. can you kind of be a designer? he can. yeah. because that doesn't increase. you know, she wanted me to do the thing. i wasn't into it. so i just told her a can't do nothing, no one to do caution. so she said if you wanted to flush him, then you have to look for you the to go to college and pay for your on fee. so that's what i did most to you and you come for this to them. you don't get just so many opportunities that add as

a get so like you get goes after high school, they don't know what to do with their lives. they just t, i roaming around, but instead of from being because they have this platform where they get to create something, a hi. so like, man, as part of the women heading to elwoods, they so they, these will make them look sexy or nice because they will be judged by the one to make women feel comfortable in what they, when they shouldn't feel what they were for as long as they are comfortable in the very best, so maybe special ed thing about the flesh should make the

for me i've gotten the chance to meet to that, but the dizziness and they're telling me to push myself to walk hide it also is the community thing. so it's helping so many people creating jobs for people like us, you know, the it is now that is something that's helping me pay for things. how's my mom the going to set my own business may function business. i don't have so many employees to ask for me to see myself as an upcoming young. he's a man who will be an inspiration for us to have the

one say designer. amazing was amazing designs indeed. and that's all we have on the program for more of our story is go to d, w dot com slash africa visit our social media platforms. will leave you with more images from that could very fast and weak in kenya. so you next time. all right, well now the,

the, the, all the x, the swedish, all the chinese was a swedish design. the combat as t v has engines, meaning for 3 in 30 minutes on d, w to the point strong and clear position international

perspective. the us is under the lot of pressure with fighting going on, the main line drive of china is busy expanding it sent to him. so to the point we are all on this frame. how many your contracts come to us copeland to the point in 90 minutes on d w. the guys it's evelyn charmaya. welcome to my pod cast matters that i am by celebrities, influenza and experts to talk about all plain loved data and yet today, nothing less. the south, all these things in more and the new season of the fuck. com. make sure to tune in

wherever you get your thoughts costs enjoying the conversation. because you know it's last matter practices and stereotypes to shape the west views of africa. how do we change this or adult film? it can lease with comedies, creations. together they exclude the contradictory nature of the narrow century as to how these police can be changed. the stop filming us, a plea for new perspectives starts october trends with us on d. w. you might see me, how much can we do simultaneously?

multitasking diesel, modern methods. because if we do too much at once, we've already all wrong, we messed things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage. humans and multitasking. want to now on youtube, v. w documentary, the, this is the w news, and these are our top stories come off says it's released to american hostages for what it calls humanitarian reasons beeping, named us judith and natalie ro, non the mother and daughter were among some $200.00 hostages of doctor during the october 7th terror attacks and israel come off as, as working with mediators from guitar and egypt to free. what's it called civilian .
