a daily tragedy for millions of people. the survivors facing the added threats of starvation or even sexual violence. but there's still a lot to celebrate. the doctors would treat those who cannot pay for health care offices, striking up new ribbons after decades of playing music the . i'm told me, alrighty. but welcome to the program. will begin dw news africa outside the continent. back in october, we heard from the kenyan police were struggling against the odds to help haiti since 2021. the caribbean nation has been engulfed by gang violence that's left to thousands dead. in june, this year,

tenure send its officers in to leave the un back security force in the capital portal posts. but a shortage of funds and troops has led to you. and to now consider haiti's request to transform the operation into a fully fledged peacekeeping mission. even so the existing force has made some gains despite the great risks of correspondent mario miller got exclusive access to see them at work in the hazel capital were about to go on patrol with the canyon police and for the prince with games console, a large part of the city of opinions on here to support the haitian police and securing the city after crossing through buzzing streets, one of life just beyond haiti, supreme court. everything changes before this place was not visible. no one could have crossed. we are, we are right now. we're entering a wasteland. this part of the city is deserted. the un says more than 700000 people

have been displaced. they fled when the gang started spreading, tara burning don't houses, killing indiscriminately raping women and girls. these barricades, the gangs erect to keep the police out of the territory. often they use shipping containers stolen from the food part of the canyons. job is to remove them by pushing them with the vehicle. so you're going to push them right now so that you can see what you're trying to do. a few meters before we reach the barricade. we see people running those sorts of videos that we started running, always because they knew us, we thought maybe didn't anytime something hits the hatchet. beth is the smell of petrol and goes as well as it can see. learning or learning. petro silver thing inside the time of

the year, and so they could feel the burning motor tough just missing our company to target the rest of the convoys shooting from abandoned buildings, the canyon forces and the 2nd vehicle, sorry about meanwhile, amanda is getting information from his drone operator on the new by the big oh yeah, yeah. he ones, they're preparing to to move petrol. and this is actually the started, but we're showing you them says we'd be going through as a non this one be going up if i but he doesn't above it so that when you go just below the building the for the foot on us under the button visual, it's like, uh, singles i want me not long ago, google was inside this vehicle when it was a taxed inside the lights, the base gate on homes. if we vote there, they might,

but not the right to know. so going there. if it needs that auto for landing as well, now we cannot go back there. on the other side of the barricades, we see people running like a gang members. we have to move quickly and another not to settle warning left by the gangs. human skulls. this goes, i usually elected the very in order to read to me data like like sending a message, it doesn't make an attempt of coming through the sit. yeah. yeah. but then you cannot be intimidated by such stuff. you have seen was being send those we arrive at the c port, it crucial lifeline for haiti, bringing goods medicine and food into the country. it was one of the 1st locations, the canyon secured after their arrival. but when i went to film across the bay, it becomes clear. it's a cute, but not fully safe. to say is with again,

control the territory. and they sometimes just a few days ago, they shot at the worker here on the side. so it's still highly dangerous to be here, but it means that i didn't know what to do, but then you have to keep one person one. we're going to leave that down to going through data. but then the problem is that he seems to do they need, need to have some things that i mean it's, we need to, to have people supporting us. we need the more equipment so that you're going to be able to push on and on for me to another. part of the, the president of the democratic republic of congo, spoke to dw in april and criticized apple. the tech giants for using so called blood minerals from his country for the manufacturing of its products. president felix to security, also acute neighboring lawanda, are facilitating that illegal export of these minerals. we hear from him in an

interview with dw, after this report. the d i c once on says from apple over with sources the mineral components for its devices and electro to apple lawyer query the use of so called 3 team in a row, 10 to lumpkin at tungsten minerals. logic found in easton, b, or c, a volatile region with ripple groups. profiting of autism and mining, the dfcs claim is that minerals smuggled from its territory to render where they are loaned insult to bias like apples from around the world. for the us, the government is report to be looking into all the 2 options for its pot. apple denies the accusations, the company said it has found no reasonable basis to conclude that any of the 3 team, minerals, and its supply chain financed a benefit to groups in the region,

minerals from the d. c, a critical to producing the world smartphones and many of the electronic devices. in fact, it is the main source for natural resources needed for global technological advancement . the dns sees many road which great lakes region has been played by violence since the 1990s. tensions re merged in late 2020, when, when the rebels were known as m. 23 began recapturing sways of the territory. the d . s. c. the u. n. and weston countries accuse run though supporting rebel groups including m. 23 and a bid to control the region, spice, mineral resources for one to denies these allegations of the president of the d. r . c for the extra security was in berlin and spoke exclusively to dw about why his country is threatening legal action against apple. say, mean of a is the most serious thing,

is that these minerals are extracted from the congolese subsoil at the price of blood on the, as i said by using violence and terror for you to make the populations living in these localities. fleet l street is on possible at the bottom, then that transported a long trail was fine motorcycles to relent and foot wonder a lot. and the, the stumped by an international n g a, we quote, all that, which obviously itself, segments the fact that the blood minerals pulses them off as if they were minerals mind and lambda passing on. they passive on to see if they didn't, you know, explain one on the pano mean that they take home interest that processed elsewhere . and then they come in sellers the finished product loan develop in, oh man, we want to develop our own value chain in the d. c. our selves really low as far as possible as it can extend l street sitting on the about the now. yeah. and

then in what i quote those when, when partnerships us goes out. so i think we'll be able to find poverty was ridiculous by creating jobs on problem down the racing wells in and at the same time have partners will also benefit from this partnership. so it will the most about the value by example. so apple will negotiate directly with the see the democratic people, of course, with the democratic republic of congo, who get why would you want to negotiate with a common c, f, who's doing business on the backs of debt congolese, you saw your telephones, you have in your countries contained the blood of the congolese get a phone call was as easy and i will be content another song big one more day. and it's not just in the d r. c. nigeria has huge mineral deposits of key elements like 10, but it also faces the challenge of the unregulated extraction of minerals. the

brought the dangers to national attention. in nigeria, poverty is the major factor that pushes many to take the risk of working in these mines. this year we have reported a fab bit on the conflict in sedan with the violence continues to rage on the u. n . to monetary and chief, the recently spoke of shame at the wells failure to protect people since the war broke out in april last year. that's when fighting broke out between the sudanese army and the rapid support forces are assessed for control of the country. and that's come at the cost of tens of thousands of lives. with more than 11000000 people displaced and 26000000 facing mass starvation. the 2 warring parties of acute each other of using hunger as a weapon of the rate because also being a major feature in this war. in june,

kind of places to meet the patients on the places come through through them. they're in the area with the prevention. they want to go to the hospital, but they don't have money to buy their medication to come to us for the stay for the wrong with that either. so the main thing you will see is that you will see this, but you will see that in the last speech, this is the online, i mean the, let's see. so, so do you mind no matter what? 04 at 4 pm. i'm a teacher going to the university, teach to then steve 7, and then at 7, doing my private clinic. this private clinic, i'm finished and they meet at midnight. but this private clinic are very important because this is the main source of the and we can find those odd eskoville activities because we don't have a 10 minutes support. we have,

once i knew support, but not the municipal i'm the man who knows that this is what god asked me to do. and this is what i'm doing. i'm so happy. finally, a form of music forged by demand migrants to germany, around half a century ago. that's grown into a thriving and influential cultural. seen mixing, the john rows of jazz, funk, craig, a sole and after a beat bug, a high life offers a lively blend of ideas and sounds. and in the summer, i went to meet a new super group here in berlin. that's at the heart of this ever revolving musical movement. the, the living, the high life in berlin. style the multiple generations of performers coming

together in celebration of the west african countries culture and music. and we've been lucky enough to get a sneak preview of the distinctive command sound at the bands rehearsal studio. hot thomas is one of the most well known faces of the high life scene. i'll put another way, he's like a nan high life legend, i suppose to be the original. because of the eclipse that i use everything. jazz, the phone. and the other thing is john rub music originated in coastal gun in the late 19th century, but was brought to germany in the 19 seventies and eighties by musicians,

leading political instability and the country's military regime. and now with access to new music and the latest instruments, the let the creative juices flow and that sound evolution soon got a new name. the highlight style of music associated with the many migrants who would travel between gonna and gemini with a match at the heart of a so called bug, a movement, a non to the gentleman would 1st citizen the signal charles a more i found that putting a band together wasn't always easy, it was the tires where it wasn't something new to them. so i'm trying to get it was it was a photo. so i kept thinking and was wondering how, how does that work? but over the years, bug

a high life only became more popular with this experimental cross border approach seen as playing upon the venetian of african music. today the music went from one border to the other and then with within came back and changed. and this is how we ended up with these today. so what my things, we try to stay original, but we also made these sites and then use today's tools to make it sort of multicast. i will say the band is now preparing to play gigs here in germany and elsewhere in europe, hoping to delight fans, old and new with a modern twist on the classic bug, a highlights blend of sounds as if an ad, but we've got more online. the next time by the,
