until me. alrighty. going welcome to the program. it's been a 3rd week of protest and kenya young people have been taken to the streets to express their opposition to a controversial finance bill. the police response has included tear gas water cannon and at some points, even bullets. the tennis human rights commission reporting that $139.00 demonstrators were killed rather than suppressing the protest. this is only fueled public anger. a dw snyder, a muller reports from nairobi. it started off as an exciting day for david monkey. he arrived early at last week's protest. and only with a water bottle. the face, my mood was cheerful. he says, i don't what's why was taking self is with the police. i'm challenging piece,
8:32 pm
but then the minute change. we don't want to work on the some next to meet with shots. people's thoughts. i'm sure if you get to the ground, i started running, then i had to buying and i was hit. the bullet went right through his neck. now in the hospital, he's waiting for a 2nd operation. they with one of the accounts themselves lucky protest and next to him was shot in the head and later died. he doesn't regret taking part in the protest. he says he's fed up with the government because of his corruption and nepotism. i didn't, you didn't, and you have lots of problems with educating system is broken. it's not won't, you know, but to, you know, look at me, i graduated from university and now i'd be reduced to driving taxis and the police still harassed of me. he graduated with a geography degree 3 years ago, but hasn't been able to find a job. it's a fade shared by many, 67 percent of 10 years young people are unemployed. he did temporary work until his
8:33 pm
mother took out a loan to buy him a motorbike. so he could work as a motor tax driver, a, someone can somebody be my, we just have to survive in this life. so even if you follow the rules of i'm fine. them you still sofa? pardon? i didn't really, really autumn. told me on is on uncle and my the defense side. so i'm hungry at the government because they shot these children using like bullets. they came to protest peacefully. he's 19 year olds able to him come out, attended the same demo as david. but he never returned home. you know, just let me know. i know what time feeling in my heart of the parents of feeling to my message to the government is if it was your child that was killed in this protests, you would be feeling a lot of pain to son, son, a son. his mother says he was about to start college and was known for standing up for the less privileged. i have an update to i had emailed to fight for peoples
8:34 pm
roy's enough when he couldn't stand seeing people being depressed today. yes. then he brought him to miles family, wanted to hold a remember and ceremony for him and other kids coaches. those were forced to change the location, police cold of the area early in the morning feeling protest. police have reacted to heavy handedly and are continuing to do so. they say outside the hospital, this group of young people are also at risk of being disposed by the police. they spontaneously mobilized a crowd of social media in support of the injured protest. is that here at the mid july, the 10th some of our fellow, you wait and we had didn't know enough blood. so we have come to have purchased, has changed for being about the cost of living prices and against the tax bill to demanding justice and accountability for those killed doing last week's deadly
8:35 pm
demonstrations. the protest is one president, william, brutal to resign. you i know to get a, if the event that those one of us die there will be more to come on. we must remove that guy from about the inside the hospital. david monkey is concerned about how he'll support his family if he can't work. but like the buddhist, as he remains to time, don't do that and you know, to ride a motorbike, you need your legs. i'll just have to deal with that. i will get back. so i will get back to the bottom of that speak to come out. why really lecture in criminology at edinburgh napier university, he's an expert on policing violence and criminal justice. good to have you on the program now. what specific actions of reforms do you think it necessary to address police brutality and inc and improve accountability within the floors and can you i
8:36 pm
think there has been but a significant discussion about reforming the wave that the police in can police public assemblies or process infection just this morning, the majority leader in the senate was talking about the need for the government to make show the guidance on oh guys and policy guidance on how to present petitions in a peaceful manner to parliament. the main idea is the problem and or the police need to, to engage with the people who are organizing the process to understand what the intentions are to provide security. make sure that people's property is protected. an influx of the government agency that investigates police abuse. the independent policy in oversight. thursday came up with guidelines for the 3 years ago. now.
8:37 pm
some of which include, you know, the police reading uniform and having, you know, their identity. they do the end of the policing of protests making sure that people who are injured provided with medical support and also ensuring back investigate does that allow into the truck to so you know, the drugs of the come back to the police. i think we saw the at the beginning when the process a, you know, logically peaceful, the police responding with force, the president's present router hasn't actually come to condemn the police of the. he's even defended them. what impact do you think that has on public trust and the perception of police accountability as well as seeing the police gender, we have a very low level of trust within the community for 2 main reasons. one of which it is use all of us often even when it is not why don't it. and the other is the
8:38 pm
inability to actually protect people in need of protection of the call of this to essentially be the feeling that the police really do not exist to protect the public button state you existing in order to protect theirs in june. i think this is part of the criticism that is being leveled against residential though, because by failing to condemn the violence, especially the one in which very clear cases of violence, i can see nothing but testers, all bystanders, such as children, the signal that the government handled endorses is kind of police come back. and in fact, in previous times we have seen presidents and ministers. i actually commend to the police for, you know, deploying excessive violence during union process. so i think this breeds a little, um, destructive the system so that you know, in that sense,
8:39 pm
but the use of violence, the use of tear gas becomes almost emblematic all the products in, right. and the protest movement say they are lead to less. how can the government and the law enforcement agencies better engage them then if they is a nurse, if they know specific people to, to, to address, to bring to the table, i can be address their grievances and avoid further violence as well. i think what i have seen in hugs listening to the spaces without being hosted by the people helping out the front line of this of this moment is that there's really no need for engagement. the issue we have talking about are quite clear. they are well known and the attempts to invite people to verify that from
8:40 pm
the positions is frustrating because there has been, it can assist you maybe, you know, commissions of incredibly investigations that ok, so for instance, you know, just recently there will be a national look on the report that, you know, kind of and the purpose, that's why let the backup position before before that you have made these reports about how come and in fact, just listening to the senate speaking this morning. the, the ticket letting you know physically discussing the same issues. so the issues are quite clear in terms of governance, wastage of public resources, corruption, outcomes of some public offices. so what they're seeing, the movement of things is not meet the full engagement. what they need to see on the side of the president and the government is actually, and i think this is what many members of the senate,
8:41 pm
including the leader of the majority in, in besetting to is a member of the ruling party. have also been calling for, so you know, the ball in my view is squarely on the side to pick a moment to take action. and eventually that will actually lead to that this additional of the movement and the process. okay. come all i really like to have coming out of criminology at edinburgh. napier university. thank you very much for your insights. in somalia, women are now taking up policing roles for the 1st time in years. it comes as a forty's and the capital one mortgage issue are intensifying security operations in response to terror attacks. and while the women would previously have been limited to working behind desks in administrative jobs, they're not being deployed to help direct mortgage issues traffic situation. there
8:42 pm
were some new faces on the busy streets of somalia as capital. another issue, women like $28.00 killed submit abdulla and now taking them off public, facing those as traffic police offices. it's a job that was off limits to women for a long time in the safety, conservative most the nation. traditionally, they were restricted to administrative jobs. behind the desk submitted, his presence is assigned attitudes towards women. and the loading society are gretchen and changing. some somalis even prefer them so that mild counterparts the new traffic police, women are very good. they're better than the mail traffic police before them. the mail traffic police were just looking for bribes and checking licenses. but now they are good female traffic, police officers who check licenses and observe and implement law and order. the law needs to be followed by the government is
8:43 pm
striving to keep it laid on security. and the threat of i'll see about is large here march. so a spite of such attacks, encouraging on a busy market and a hotel it's a complex issue in a country facing a litany of problems. site security is a top priority for the government of somalia, which continues to undertake multifaceted efforts to defeat all sure. bob, for it's part all sure bob remains determined to continue terrorist attacks with little regard for the loss of civilian life. protection of civilians must remain a key priority in a conservative country living under the constant chatter of terrorism. the pioneering presence of women like samantha is inspiring most tamale women to sign up. she says the public response has be long. she positive and calls on the women to join her. i encourage demonte women to become traffic police officers. and
8:44 pm
what for the people that i tell the public what with us and we work with you? correct 2 mistakes despite the ongoing danger of our ship, bob, the mere presence of women like samantha in uniform on the streets of mogadishu, in respect to the community, is helping combat. is that mr. audiology? i'm the ongoing threat and error trends. psych list has made history at this. he has to a difference, be now i'm getting a has become the 1st black african to win a stage during the famous race, celebrating the moment of a 24 year old ride the dedicates of his speech 3 victory to the continent of africa . lights up hosting and social media. let me open the door a reference to his ambition to inspire him all africans to take up the support for
8:45 pm
the funds. he's also really big motivation for the look out. i that's because yeah, this is uh, yeah, one of the most uh, uh no andres. he knows moto so i think a lot of achievement. it's kind of help them a lot. so yeah, i'm still a or helping to design more and then to give the motor motivation. david, king's canyon cycling, pioneer and former pearl joins us from now. tomorrow in kenya, just after a ride. a good to have you on the program with us. um, what's your reaction to be near him gave my ass achievement at the to the difference. uh, it's more easily go like, yeah, you know, but uh, this is, this is a good treatment for low ethic or, you know, we've been waiting for so long to get somebody who can win stages for us. and you know, being a good man is more of a sprint at. and then he can already do these things. he won digital detailed
8:46 pm
message 2 years ago and now the 20 friends. so we need to have no, our african writers say winning the mountain stages because we have more of a, like a mountain people that may a spring does. but this is incredibly, incredibly goodwill for each for give you. give me, what does it take to to get to that level uh its hello how, what can. busy appreciate and see a lot of determination. you know, you, you, you have to of a, come a lot of challenges coming all the way from the us. the guy did, they had to view up into the heart of the biggest challenge in cycling ever. and looking at it, let's see a such a small country that there's been in war for many, many, many years. so this is, this is, this is the winning of the war that is been in deland and this is huge for us. can you tell us about your experience as a,
8:47 pm
a pro cyclist from kenya from africa and how the scene has changed since that time to uh, everything changes. uh and uh, recently things changing very, very quickly because of the advisement of a technology. uh, obviously i was up on the fasts uh block, i think items to actually go into the had to view open. i'd surely get to sign a professional contract to the professional to me and they tell me back in the day, is that these 820020012003. know a very, very few. the broadcasts, we can say, finding their way into the european cycling. see, i was lucky enough that the i a good sports advice you model to write a big mountain bike race in australia, which was the vice shown basically the mountain bike version of 20 frames back in the days that was the crocodile tool fee and australia. and then from this event, i finished the segments overall and uh,
8:48 pm
i quickly got an a ton in team interested in signing me in to the side of the road . but they are not very uh, sure that they can do load cycling. but when they realize that that was actually a large site lease more than a mountain bike. so i ended up going to the demo in the telly and i, i signed a 2 year contract with the index, alexia, but unfortunately, the tim, the tim collapsed in the beginning of 2003 season one with those major challenges you do face, you mentioned you did get this sort of sponsorship deal, but i'm guessing finance as, as is usually one of the major things that would affect cyclists on the continent. how did you deal with these, these issues? how did you overcome them? a yeah, actually can somebody was uh, that's what we call, you know, we call them survivors on the bicycle. so the 1st and foremost is a bicycle, is a tool for, for them to somebody if you need to, it's a wanting to do you use. they use it everywhere, but uh,
8:49 pm
when it comes to sports and competition wise, then you need to awfully update the equipment and the you have to say and you have to ride the load. and this means you need money. you need budgets. and this is where the challenge number one comes in. right. and another form of leadership you meant that the cycling legend chris from how important is this kind of mentorship on the local scene and local support and developing cycling talent and africa. yeah, there's a lot of groups now coming up in the lazing that the it is very beneficial to do the grass. what's what that is to develop a young uh boys and got us into their sports. you know, at an early age we have a kid, you know, in use a setting up to come to it and we have the most come from and they're recruiting lots of youngsters to land lease. and then uh, we have the canyon right. does. and of course my project this i've already seen,
8:50 pm
but as with chris footman board supporting me and the we, we see the importance of grooming these people. yeah. and. and then when you look into the history of italy to you, they had lots of this kind of a grooming coming through the ages. uh, do you see people like good, medium good may be sounding like decide for the generation of f, what's done in the past. so we're looking in the same way in east africa. all right, david, king's canyon cycling pioneer, we appreciate you taking the time to speak to us. thank you very much. i. i speak to kimberly coats c o of team ask like a rising, a non profit organization that promotes and supports cycling development in africa . good to have you on the program. kimberly you spent years supporting cycling as a sport in africa. just how big is being me. i'm getting a's achievement for the sports on the continent. it's huge. it's an ethic moment for our getting
8:51 pm
safe, green and the names when is all about representation and representation matters. and he is the only black african in the pro pelettano at the tour to france and our tens threw out the continent. see that? and they see him when and they to believe, right, we'll get to that development stage and a bit. but just looking at that level, that top level, what are the main barriers for african cyclist when they're competing at united levels like that as a tool to funds as it begins with them as really young children having even an access, even access to a bike and then it's about access to races, there's not a lot of races on the continent and the races that are there are not at the highest levels. so some of the challenge becomes how do we get the kids to europe? europe is,
8:52 pm
is the gold standard. that's where they learn the most. then you have the challenge of visas because getting especially juniors into your up to train is really challenging. and you know, the cost of it all. i mean, you have kids in europe and kids in america who have parents that have credit cards . our kids are sometimes the bread winters of their families and they have to support families on top of that. so pretty much by the time one of our african writers makes it to the start line of a race like the toward the front stay of overcomes so much just to get to that point you deal with them on the ground. what kinds of programs does team africa rising run as we look at it from a holistic perspective. so not only are we looking for in training, cyclists, but we're also training coaches. we're training mechanics, we're building mechanic networks and those and trying to end up becoming mechanic
8:53 pm
and bike shops so so that it also provides income. we trains when yours administrative staff because we do know that most kids will not make it to bins level just it's super competitive competitive and they might not make it. so if they're not going to make it, what can they do with in the sport? how do we keep them in the sport and make it so that they can have an income and, and continue to grow the sport long after we're gone. and if it was a girl to support what needs to happen for more of them to truly get to that stage what, what are the key things the key things are investments. we need lots of money. there's. there's groups like ours that work on the ground, but our budget is super small and we do a lot with a little bit of money. um, we're only talking a couple $100000.00 is what we work with. and it's
8:54 pm
a matter of collaborating with all the different groups working on the ground. it's, it's federations because federations are really strong on the continent. it's about federations knowing more about the sport and not so coming to corruption. that is rice throughout the sports at the federation level, and it's about we have to do something about the visa issue that, that is the biggest stumbling block. i have a young woman who was signed by canyon shram, wildlife, and in uganda. and she can't get her visa and it's just frustrating because she's talented. she's got the skills to make it. i have a team that wants her, and we can't get her out of you've gone to. so that's, that's our biggest challenge. right. and you've spoken about the, the, the, the world, the young woman, the, we've seen a black african man have this huge achievement. what, but what about the women's,
8:55 pm
the continents, women? what are the chances on the big stage? you know, they have to tell it the talent is there it's, it's giving them access to good equipment, proper training, coaching nutrition. but then with women, you have the whole, you have a whole nother side of it, which is cultural. women are not seen as the, the group that should be riding bikes. and generally the women got whatever is left to ask them after the men get everything. you also have cultural issues with families, not understanding why a woman would want to raise a base in some countries to get married super young. and there's so much pressure to have children get married, having children and those are all things. in addition to all the challenges we have with man that we then stack on with women. okay,
8:56 pm
we'll be looking to see how things develop over time. kimberly coats has been great having you on the program to kimberly cold seals, team advocate rise. thank you so much. i as well, that's it for now. but be sure to check out all the stories on our website on social media. the next time i sent out, the
