mates as it was on the beach, helping them hard children to express themselves through moving the hello. there i am eddie micah junior and you are welcome to the program. you may be lucky enough to have a roof over your head, but not everyone has that luxury in kenya, the countries facing a critical house in the shortage with a deficit of nearly 2000000 units. now any of us you have, the governments passed the controversial levy, the forces employed canyons to contribute 1.5 percent of the income towards house and construction. the claims that this levy would finance the construction of $200000.00 affordable houses annually. but how realistic is that and what will be affordable enough for the thousands of homeless people on the margins of poverty
7:32 pm
have used either kamani report from night will be a mechanic like training and what's the best and noticed he spends most of his time with friends these days that the 2 year old lost his job unexpectedly and for the last 2 years, he's been homeless. the sudden and dramatic change in keys life letting here to my very window kenya's oldest slums and to a very different life. we had, we had, it's hard, it's hard. it's very, very hard area to live. when you, when a capital see thing, you'd rob a sleep hungry but at least have some way to sleep. well, of shelter is a priority because you don't know what could happen to you when you're out here. when i'm with the receive sound to you, these diseases for the police. now i've never also the a known so mo, j needed talk about the t needs 11 years a month for rent here,
7:33 pm
but he's rarely called to fix cause these days. so food is all he can afford. it's getting dark and the clouds have gathered. rain is inevitable. everyone rushes towards the homes is due by command. t leads us to a shack where a friend is allowing him to stay. the shack is down and duck. a team, those who have to pay something are leaving a few days. so he keeps his things ready in this environment, he has no control allowed. there were 2 of us who were sleeping with a bunch of friends come over, we welcome them. he was well the following day. they rubies homeless wake up before dawn. cool. and, and sucks. for one most sleep fully dressed and the overalls and shoes ready for work during the day. it's estimated that some 300000 people in can leave this we
7:34 pm
so people like just 3 euros a day can be the difference between living on the streets or here in a windowless room with nothing but a bed and mattress. the clothes vendors sometimes find some money. sometimes he doesn't life on the edge of homelessness. it's easy to get stuck in miss routine. you look some money for food under room. if you buy drug saw alcohol, that's all you get on your money is gone. just like that, we're back in my diary to look for teeth who we're told might be in the local drinking den. here we find the owner, doreen who offers headspace to those with know where to go. this is a life i've experienced, so i don't judge anyone. i give them some way to sleep. so when they get out of here, they can help others. how customers ask us to tell their
7:35 pm
stories. not to coordinate that we have problems like we've never seen before. how we my, my house is what demolished and everyone was asking where we could go. we still don't know what to do, but god bless this woman. c during then can sleep up to 9 men and she has been one of them in the past. but tonight she's fortunate to have somewhere less crowded to sleep, at least for now. let's get more from mary. i'm mine of the consultants in town planning and data, and allotted 6 full african towns and cities. hello, and welcome to the program. that's critical house instruct agent, kenya. some reports suggest that i'm asked to meet at 300000 people homeless. tell us more about what is driving this soon. thank you very much. and so some of the
7:36 pm
challenges that come around creating other homelessness. you can't use the such that the growing population does not have adequate housing. that is affordable, but also in the right locations area. today's with need to the so you're trying to get to us to access your. you also went housing, the senior budget in this town. so too much do you mind into the flag to use for the shows that make sense is a that too high or do just not, you know, housing and that's the explanations of homelessness, some of the completion, right, which we, we saw in our report. so to try to address the house in crisis, the governments introduced a controversial house in levy to continue collecting a 1.5 percent off of work is monthly pay right? um, the levy is intended to pay for the construction of 200000 affordable housing for poor rock canyon speeds here. how realistic is that? the chinese i think comes in when the levies. oh, there is a too much for the what?
7:37 pm
cuz not too much in terms of the technician that is happening position, but at the same time, how long would it take for these limited defense january? it's kind of how the numbers are causing, but i need it. so what does it take to get it? and challenges you're hitting, the market to the technician is already too high. so people have been tough to be can be a dr. addition, i mean, even though the policies can support the production of housing, you'd be, doesn't have been fussed already. that housing does not end up being a series of appropriately, they know people that being taxed to produce more housing. so show the governments just build fee houses for people or the housing because it's a different problem. but you've already mentioned the key challenges when people talk about housing. hopefully the bt the question is how to make housing affordable to households? number one, you can make them,
7:38 pm
you can raise income so that people can afford the housing. that's what we do there . or you can give trying to build more houses, and the question is, who is able to fund the how it is that should be? but this, the reason i would not think is the government is trying to declare the role of housing production. because number one is not necessarily a problem with this sense of what's mass, housing programs. and number 2 governments that i've tried to build more and more houses and you find that you can never deal with enough housing as a government for the month. continuing to happen in the cities in the counties. so the question is not necessarily built for the houses i think is perhaps of course the housing market. so this is what i'm saying is can you share some, you know, practical initiatives that could help solve the house in crisis? so yeah, thank you. and i think we really and there's 2 minutes to cover the coverage tons of investment that are happening after density. so you're looking at to do next
7:39 pm
memorabilia. when you did this, i did nothing in the labels inc. give some joiners, but what do you see? use the lowering the housing markets that and watching how some of the risk. but the housing markets, rental like it to never be, for example, that either of us is telling us perhaps the very low income households to that, that'd be enough to access until they call the mother. so was national governments are changed to come up with, let's get policies, which is what i think housing finally, housing maybe easy to punctuate exercise, trying to generic housing. what you should do if you keep the city government to look at it could be shown, didn't say, what is the housing markets that will be, for example, these 90, anybody have us in the rental. so now these policies should be leveraging government policies to improve racial market 16, the apologies. so that is to begin to use the market that idea to see what's happening with the rental that is making people then able to afford how to resolve
7:40 pm
. fortunately to associate, that is to ensure that colleagues my case of being improved, for example, halfway through a cold, but affordable rental. so i was supposed to try to change this. it is a to how they agree. it's coming mission way, be at any of them. and make them want based off of the low income households, easy to use. i think those are the strategies that she does that have tried to do that. uh, moving costs directly is getting closer to reading the affordability. got that to do that? i'm trying to introduce entirely new policies that's up against the kinds of market . thanks a lot for your time, mary. i may not be able to attend in town, find an add on data, and on it, it takes full african towns and cities with pegasus group. thank you very much. i are now, cape town in south africa is also facing a house and crisis back on since the influx of western remote workers west. and in this situation, by driving up property prices, the so called digital know months and in foreign courtesies,
7:41 pm
given them on the edge of a locals in the rental markets. instead of africa's new 3 visa for remote workers, contract even more of them out into consensus about affordable housing. did of use diane whole kind of how small big town is one of my favorite destination i've ever worked from. and that's really saying something cute and i am finally here. check out my permit for the next 6 weeks on line testimonials like this. show home many digital moments went to live and work in cape town. and who wouldn't want to relocate to one because most beautiful city streets of key mean the city center people can enjoy walks along the sea point from an odd and public transport is easily accessible and the abundance of capt. phase restaurants and co work spaces. also make it easy to promote you a citizen,
7:42 pm
quote me simone. make cape town home for 3 months this year and hopes to make the city a regular destination. she runs a travel and adventure business remotely, often working from the phone like i get, i feel like you have so much variety and again, the opportunity to meet so many cool people as you're working or as your networking or just trying to get a vi for the city of cape town, stunning location is also part of the problem with the city is flanked by an ocean on one side and a mountain on the other. this means all calls and travelers all complete the space in a narrow patch of land and those with dollars and yours, a winning the contest. the suburbs closest to the city center. those closest to
7:43 pm
table mountain have become some of the most expensive suburbs to live in, not only in cape town, but in the country as a whole. would stuff is one such so that it was once low income neighborhood. now, apartment buildings must bring up on every corner, mostly catering to a growing nomad market. here a one bedroom apartment costs about half of the average monthly salary rates. for many locals, the housing prices carries the stock in mind of the pot take year with black and brown, people were only allowed to live in designated areas. it becomes very difficult for us to find property because now if either of these little property or the party is very expensive, is also creating that certification and segregation between people. because now it's not a lot, but the color of your skin. it's all about what money you have,
7:44 pm
but the awesome people working to fix the problem. like the development action group, the n g o advocates will housing policy changes that favor creating inclusive community . this is why we need to re lease land and year mark land in the end of the fours, affordable housing so that people can exercise and close the economic opportunities of public transport we have because while digital no meds may bring much needed money into the local economy, residents of cape town say changes must be made to ensure the city remains the home . oh, god is preparing to wash out in the new governments after join mohammed's victory in last week's presidential election. the change. com is that a crucial time gone?
7:45 pm
i is experience and it's whereas the comic tension in years despite maintaining its democratic stability, expectations are high. but of my how my problem is, is he will bring gonna reset it, needs celebrating a new dawning, gonna support as of john, remind me my home a welcome the news of his victory in last week's presidential election. they've given him the mondays to relieve them of that current troubles. and in his words, to reset, gone to mama 1st became head of state in 2012 after the death of president john mills, whom he served as vice president. and he's relishing the opportunity to return to the seat of power the the rivers. because i have learned
7:46 pm
however, we are determined to work together with you to build the government. we went, mohammed was himself criticized heavily for the city, a power cuts, and a large growth of corruption during his previous presidency. it's exactly why the people voted him out and rejected him again on his 2nd attempt at a return to the top job. but now the fed times a tom, good man's, have decided in the current context of economic town oil that john mahatma is the man to spock change. matt, spring in franklin, could you the guardian political commentator and founder of the money sent out for policy and education hello, say welcome. so former presidents and now president elect joined my how my house and lot on his plate. no doubt. he's promised to fix the economy and restart donna
7:47 pm
. what would that look like as well? thank you for having the i these days when you use the when research, how many be so many states? i think of these are just definitely make sure i suspect that the, the one to where we said to restart the reset is use the glass to the, the kinds of governance with which less but which where are called and really, really, really surprised the model of defend of human rights, and indeed the someone who jumped to you on the columbia graves pulled actually up taking this to those days. and so when, when, when the best them, why am i sees i reset, reset. their private means that we'll, we'll, we'll know, we'll try not to which mess or journal to replay those. dr. peter, it's a game now. and so for me is okay, that'd be should be a governess. and then probably even the content, right. of course it cannot be, my business was uh they reached out so, so it looks like a reset to the whole diagnostic effects i gain and then maybe from there will be
7:48 pm
too long on one to some of the lots are on the low. mean, i say probably so, right and right, i mean, obviously the economy is definitely the key. all you know, the list of things that he should do. number one, definitely the economy. i mean, he's talking about that 24 hour economy. maybe that's part of the plan that would help you know, that's, that's all we stats that the whole country. but, you know, we've already established that this will be my homeless, fast timeless precedence. what lessons do you hope he has lends from his previous administration? because it was all smooth or indeed it wasn't the way he spoke to gun. yes, i saw one when he was excited as a spring there said he meets us. that was the most wretched, redone, and youtube does not have the balls. he also can most be said he's not, he's a bad tooth and that people keep complaining and are going to use the fitness at
7:49 pm
some point in time for those across the way. it's just besides that he goes along. so i suspect you never ever go back to them again, but on that, come on. i think clearly speaking, unemployment has been a big jump. shoot, but i think the trade bar come on me by the way, it's about policy. i mean, i see the region of default conditions and reduction in boxes. they do that, that was a go the cost of being business, being high taxes and i'll just read the been real garcia and nutritionally being high. if they can do something about that. i mean, we can begin to bruce also the friendship go speak, dennis, us ok to them to just access your account. right. all right, and just to while i'm jeans, community and i think you're going to be funded, used to reduce them by how we'll start the process of research. and then i suspect also that it needs to work hard from the beginning and the side of things because
7:50 pm
you need the need to be able to, to be able to. one of the things that promoted these things by some of this people would need should by when people use my thought it was we would have to have some rebates. right? right. so we'll have to wait. what am next for us is going to be like, but key thing is with this election, gonna have again proven. it's trained in democracy, but it's more how about open to being challenged by well position, civil society and the media based on his track record slow. he was going to the for, sorry, a boots reviewed. i mean, we saw because i remember when does arbitration can supply, i mean the queen and so you know exactly what we can do. any of those. i certainly want done yes. then said, so you can be the last blessing to, to sit game that then is that something that you've been reminded that the demand is pitching much alive and will take nothing but good governance and indeed come to the village. right?
7:51 pm
looking at regional dynamics, how do you think about how my, my position got his leadership role in west africa as it should be? pretty, pretty important about that. as we know, the seller region has become a replace drum. so all these verbal activities. and so we've got the, i didn't, he needs to vote congress. i initial ever told them that because we're talking about the full, i mean brushing phone on this the harlem using or it's already happening, but we cannot afford it, scaling back scaling all the way down to the stop. so we need to put this new pump in, not up quickly and see i can run it wrong. we just don't need this, but obviously spend stand up little these rather back on the, in the midst of mine is very difficult, but also uh, yeah, i mean if you need to do something about the fit for me, then i suspect you lounge for my browser sent me the reason and then see how best
7:52 pm
you guys separate the piece. right? franklin code, your social political commentator. thank you very much for your time. what was the plaza? i think you say the head of the saying the pen is mightier than the sword. when a group of on him h, as in was on these carpets, all of my food to a briefing new life into it. they hold web shops for children and young adults interested in animation. and the hope that the ad form will spock social dialogue. they talk a big topics like the dangers of capitalism, and called for you to read. it's a unique way to get the creative juices flowing. we've all seen a bull bounce, but would you be able to draw that movement if us to these children are faced with that exact challenge? they participating in a workshop in most,
7:53 pm
in beaks capital. my put to end up getting children interested in animation. it takes multiple images to make the poll move the animators digitize the single frames and bring them to life. the children and parents are excited to see the final product. so from that, i mean that was fine, but i agree and says, i think that this any mation program, a very interesting especially for children because it can create a space for them to become interested into making at an early age, the spot a what the that the base of chicago, seen the ash and full making is exactly what the local estimate is, a building toward creatives from one of the country's leading animation studios need. mom was one to see local stories told on the international stage. the country
7:54 pm

7:55 pm
during colonial times and even after it's i percept segregated in the sense that you have what, what we call the segments city. but you also have the, the, the, the, the destroy all at wood and send part of the city. and so we kind of like looked at this in the, in a way of trying to think of how will my point to look like in 2084 and what kind of contracts and, and the segregation would exist in that sense. the future. imagine by the end, a most studio is the future. these children may inherit and the estimate is hope that when the time comes, these youngsters will be able to express themselves through this moving artful. and it's a rough will leave you with pictures of the festive season. from the continent of the
