lesotho is now already selling water and power to south africa.nd it keeps improving its water management to keep up with the growing needs of its large neighbor. >> the village of mapeleng is tucked away in the lesotho highlands. it's home to some 600 people, who live from their cattle and harvests. despite the high altitude and frequent rains, the region is fairly barren. there are few proper roads here. villagers get around by horse or donkey. nearby is one of the biggest lakes in lesotho. it wasn't always so. there used to be just a small river running through the valley. since the mid-1990s, a 185- meter-high wall was erected in the valley below mapeleng as part of the katse dam project. at 50 kilometers long, the artificial lake supplies neighboring south africa with clean water, and delivers clean electricity to lesotho. the dam is a success because it rains a lot in lesotho. water seeps through every rock face. countless brooks and rivers flow into the valley and the orange river, the biggest river in southern africa. the main region suppl

first, you experience africa, and you fall in love with africa. >> right. >> secondly, you discover internationalism and all the difficulties of coordinating and working together with scientists and all sorts of other folks from around the world. you discover the relationship between global inequity and disease, that if people are so poor, they don't have sterile syringes. and then you discover do-gooders can do so badly, it would be better they weren't there in the first place. >> yes. you read the book. [laughter] >> let's take these apart. why, what was it that this young flemish 27-year-old fell in love with? >> well, i think it was the warmth of people, you know, the human side, the creativity. i cannot hide, also, the music and the dancing. [laughter] but the fact that, um, i thought it was on the one hand, um, so much to do, incredible needs which are still there, and, um, the will to improve it. and so i saw opportunities which i think are very underestimated today in africa. when b you look at -- when you look at just growth of the world, i there in africa. i'm not saying that africa now ha

the province in north-eastern south africa is home to the famous kruger national park. almost 70% of it is used for agriculture. lukas maseko owns a farm here. after the 2002 land reform lukas went from being a farmhand to a landowner. >> every day i loaded my truck with pumpkins to sell on the main road. car drivers would stop and buy them. >> four years ago, a new neighbor arrived -- bringing with it a raft of problems. a decommissioned open cast coal mine was reopened as part of south africa's efforts to meet its growing energy needs. the ground is now rocked by daily explosions at the nearby mine. noise is one problem -- another is the dust cloud that hangs over lukas' fields. it covers everything -- humans, animals and crops -- with a thick layer of coal. the farm house is no longer habitable. the shock waves have left it too unstable. lukas shows us a massive crack in the wall. the visible damage isn't even the worst of it. the groundwater is contaminated by lead, nickel and other toxic heavy metals from the mines. >> there's hardly any water anymore, and what the

to 10 countries in africa.this is in the book. in senegal and ethiopia and a bunch of countries asked what you think about the chinese? t. like them? you hate them? are they better or worse than americans. by white origin, 95%, the africans that we like the chinese. the improved likelihood, make life better and by the way, we think they're better than americans. and i think that is really an important message to get out. they also believe relationship of the chinese is a dynamic one. if you go to places like india, africa, the general sentiment is positive about the chinese been there. you go to places more developed, the united states receive significant investments with the chinese and also you know the largest lender to the united states government, it's really my laser skepticism and a lot more concern. if you think the relationship of the chinese is dynamic reversal is a good example. a few decades ago china and brazil were quite amicable if you read the literature. that has become more fractious as brazil

when the jouberts were born, there were 250,000 of them in africa. now as few as 20,000. each year other countries in africa sell 600 lion-hunting permits, the vast majority to americans. >> we think that these wild lions will be extinct in ten or 15 years. >> really? >> yeah. >> hunting is a big part of the human condition for thousands of years. do you think we can ever eliminate it entirely when it comes to species like this? there's always going to be somebody who will pay a lot of money to shoot a lion. >> that's the key. with species like this, we have to contain those urges that we have. going out to shoot for the pot, going out to shoot deer in new jersey or wherever you do that, that's a completely different conversation. shooting the last of the 20,000 lions is dramatic. >> do you have children? >> no. these are our children. that was a conscious decision that we made really early on, as we started exploring and we realized that we wouldn't be able to do it with kids. so you might say it was a selfish decision, but actually, i don't regret it. i think we've been

i wanted to focus in on a story that does not get enough attention -- africa. the imf says that six of the ten fastest growing economies in 2012 are in africa. over the past decade, according to the african development bank, the number of middle-class consumers in africa, those who spend between $2 and $20 a day, has expanded 60% to 313 million. that's about the same size as the middle classes in china and india. health is improving as well. according to the world bank, one key indicator, the death rate of children under 5, is dropping dramatically. over 5% a year in ten sub-saharan countries and over 8% in kenya, rwanda, and senegal. there are even bright spots in the reduction of graph and corruption. ghana, south africa, namibia, rwanda, and botswana each has less corruption, gets this, than italy and greece according to transparency international. governance is improving in many countries. terrorism by islamic extremists remains, but there is progress here as well. having largely driven the al qaeda-linked al shabab from mogadishu, the capital, the city is

chasing cape buffalo through water makes them the most muscular lions in africa. to the gilberts, each one has a soul and a personality. every story they tell, every image they capture is an effort to create a global uproar because these are, quite literally, the last lions. when the gilberts were born there were 450,000 of them in africa. now there's as few as 20,000. each year other countries in africa sell 600 lion-hunting permits, the vast majority to americans. >> we think that these wild lions will be extinct in 10 or 15 years. >> really? >> yeah. >> hunting has been part of the human condition for thousands of years. do you think we can ever eliminate it entirely when it comes to species like this? there's always going to be somebody who will pay a lot of money to come shoot a lion. >> that's the key. with species like this, we have to contain those urges that we have. going out to shoot for the pot, going out to shoot deer in new jersey or wherever you do that, that's a completely different conversation. shooting the last of the 20,000 lions is dramatic. >

and they're fighting to keep their told in africa so if iran then the iranian supply of crude oil to the chinese economy were then jeopardized by chaos inside iran china will be the ultimate loser and i think they realize that in fact i know they do because i've spoken with leading chinese strategists in beijing late last year when my book misapplies in all wars was released in chinese and they do realize this this is this is ultimately directed against the rising economic presence on the world stage of china let me focus away from syria now and look at wiki leaks and the case of julian assigns now you have some theories on what's going on that well i think the whole wiki leaks if we go back to the original story of this private barry manning. bradley manning excuse me. sitting there listening sensibly to lady gaga c.d.'s on his m p three in baghdad and da loading what is it one hundred two hundred thousand pages of classified state department cables from all over the world i think the likelihood that that could go undetected for so many months is less than zero but once you have the

south africa is an exception.and it's manufacturing and developing of institutions that really show countries are out of the woods, they are really say. what we have in west africa is that the wars and the rebellion seem to have broke out. but nothing much is happening in the way of stabilizing institutions were developing very strong economic basis. that may come later. remember, the ivory coast was in war only until about 15 months ago. so it takes a while. it might be that, you know, china in places like bangladesh are becoming too expensive for low-cost textile manufacturers and, you know, the question is who is the next china were bangladesh? it won't be one place, but it's possible that countries in sub-saharan africa could become the new destination for textile production which would stabilize the economy, provide jobs for young people, so while i rode a very pessimistic article in the atlantic monthly on africa in 1994, the things that i worry about played out in the late '90s and in the early part of the

craig: hey so, you're out in africa? where were you filming in africa? >> mozambique, capetown. craig: that sounds like lot of fun. >> although it is hbo and cinemax, it is actually an english production. you brits and the south africans together and you have bedlam, really. it felt like that. i think i i'm suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder actually as a result of it. it is great good to be back in the america. everything is a little bit more sedated here. craig: man, you have had a rough time. >> until you turn on cnn. craig: well, things are all right. i like mesh. do you live center hp >> i reside here. craig: near los angeles? >> yeah. craig: do you go to that big supermarket in west hollywood? >> actually i feel like i'm in mordor. this is east of where -- i usually live west. craig: as said, i'm a gryffindor. i don't know what you're talking about. occasionally that -- over there give massachusetts whomp. -- me a whomp. do you want an apple? >> what will happen if it eat it? craig: why don't you eat it and find out. craig: rhona mitra. we'll be right back. >> ho

we never -- at least it has had an impact in africa. i also have made some statements on government, only on human rights, respect for rule of law, which in a way has empowered civil society. civil society wind go to jail if they made the statements directly by themselves, they get into trouble, and so i felt with the robust society in africa, why should i empower them and encourage them to speak out, to put pressure on the government to do the right thing and insist on respectful rule of law and human rights, and we have seen lots of progress, and seep some very good ng os on the continent, and i think in that way, i couldn't be dismissed as an old colonialist trying to interfere. so i could speak frankly to them, and most of the time they listened. >> host: did you ever have frank conversations with secretary-generals since the sect-general was robert mew mugabi. >>> i met him. talk about african politics, about health issues, the fight against hiv/aids. i remember trying to get him to encourage people to use condoms. zimbabwe was rea

>rose: we will talk about that. 2006, you were in africa with bono's organization? >> yeah, yeah.d of on, they call it i think a listening and learning trip, and it is great, i mean it was a week or so of just -- it was almost like a college mini course where you just each day had a different learning focus and go is microfinance and urban aids and rural aids and et cetera and you would have kind of a different kind of focus each day and one of the days was water and my first -- i mean i ard these statisti that were jaw dropping about, you know, a child dying every 20 seconds because of lack of access to clean water and sanitation, that to me just was staggering, i mean, because -- because for me, to relate to tha to that as an american, i mean we don't know people who are thirsty, it just doesn't happen, right? and, you know, we don't know kids who die from diarrhea,. >> rose: water is ubiquitous. >> yes, of course, or cholera for that matter, just clean water, so, you know, that was one side of it. just the mindless death, and bono always talks about stupid death because it is,

that's a rarity in africa.so facilitate this is, and they want to build their own proper silicone value, and suzanne, can you test this out. they're proud people and like to express themselves. if you second a stwooet fweet right now, the hash tag kot, that means kenyan on fwiter, will get a response from someone on the other side of the road. if you say shout out to kot from the other side of the web, i guarantee that someone in kenya will reply to you. >> i will rye that. that's pretty cool. where are you headed next? >> well, next on "inside africa" we go to kenya's neighbor to the south, tans kneea, to look at why more people in tanzania believe in witch craft than anywhere else in africa, and we also go to zanzabar, and furz will be able to see that at cnn.com/insideafrica. >> i'll be sending out those tweets. thank you. >>> our moeshl society initiative taking a lake-effect at how mobile technology is changing our world from health to personal relationships to business. for more coverage go to cnn.com/our

so -- and that is predominantly an issue in africa today, in parts of asia, indian sub continent and latin america, so as of next year, deka and us and this partnership, we will start tto pilot three countries, mexico, paraguay and south africa and roll it out in much bigger numbers in 2014 and beyond, and when we say roll out, we mean place thousands of unit, so take let's say a year like 2014, where we may place 2000 units, that will essentially create, provide about 500, 600 million-liters of fresh drinking water to communities around the world that didn't have it before, so imagine every year, you are actually providing billions of liters of new water. >> all right. you have a demonstration, i want to see this. >> there you go. ♪ >> this is what? >> this is the container with the solar roof, so it is powered by solar energy and you have got the center of the community in that village, and you have got consumers and villagers coming, getting the water,. >> rose: access to media. >> it has got, as you see a dish on the top so it is connected, it has got a little tv screen where peo

africa also happened to be the top ranked t twenty side in the world but are still looking for their first major i.c.c. tournament victory and their captain a.b. de villiers admits in the past pressure may have got to his side. i'm going to be very honest with you i'm going to put out this straight up front we have church in the past and we know about that if you if that's the riches of people it's a simple as that we've had some really bad very bad experiences in the past but a logical source of us past we come in with a whole new look in the team we've worked really hard with all new management team which is giving us a lot of energy and a lot of new ideas so we will approach as tournament differently we would like to win the pressure situations we are going to do exactly that and like i said we prepared and really excited to get on to that field. meanwhile it was a busy night for sri lanka's kumar sangakkara car at the annual i.c.c. awards ceremony he won three awards including the people's choice voted for by the public the sri lanka batsman who lost nearly fifteen hundred runs i

all over the middle east and north africa. the president is absence.ed the policy. the press, this is malpractice on part of press, obsessed with one statement romney made. not asking the president what has happened to the outreach you made at cairo, much ral respect, the new beginning. what is happening in the middle east, what are you doing about it? can you explain how your policy efforts after three years has resulted in this catastrophe? that is a question that the president has been asking. he is the president. the fact it hasn't been asked is simply astonishing. >> bret: five seconds. next foreign hot spot? >> iran/israel. israel now has a back to the wall. we heard netanyahu look as if he is distressed. >> long five seconds. they tuned for special tribute to americans killed. >> bret: we usual whether i leave the show with a kicker, something funny. we could have use it this week. last night we had a tribute to neil armstrong. tonight we feel compelled to leave with you the homecoming ceremony for the four american culprits who returned home fr

and the central africa. it is our belief. it is our belief that when nations should embrace dialogue and peaceful settlement of disputes instead of rushing to arms. for suffering and bloodshed will ensue. we call upon all warring parties in the world to lay down their arms and pursue the path of peace, dialogue and inclusive resolution of disputes. mr. president, we also remain very concerned that no progress has been achieved on the issue of palestine. as i stated last year, here at the general assembly, kenya believes in a two-state solution where the territorial integrity of palestine within the 1967 borders is upheld, and the peace and security of israel are both assured and guaranteed. in this regard, it is our hope that palestine will soon be welcomed to the community of nations with full in my opinion -- full membership in the united nations. mr. president, there can be no lasting peace without sustainable and inclusive developments. kenya therefore greatly appreciates the achievements of the united n

i was in africa and spoke to 1 liter. see what has happened in north africa and the middle east. a strong transitional winds blowing. what they resisted. should think of the future. he should think of what you're going to do next. i can discuss it with them in that context, but i cannot go and say you must leave, you must resign. so some of this has been voted then, but they have stayed in may general statements about the democratic rotation of leaders. so in those kinds of discussions , i cannot go and pound the table and demanded to quit. >> host: he took on the role of you an invoice of syria. i'm tempted to say, a punishment having had so many. >> guest: yes. >> host: what did you hope you could achieve? you took on a roll that many people was calling to fail. >> guest: many people considered it mission impossible >> host: your success. >> guest: yes. he, like me, could not say no. could not have said no when they saw the mystery. the potential for a crisis in syria that was likely to spill over the borders of syria and affect the whole region. people intend to make simplisti

we never went that route, but at least it has had an impact in africa. and i also made some statements on conference, on human rights, respectful rule of law. which in a way has -- [inaudible]. civil society can -- if they made some of the statements directed by themselves, they get into trouble. and so i felt with the robust civil society in africa, why should empower them and encourage them to speak out, to put pressure on the government, to do the right thing, to insist on respectful rule of law and human rights. and we have seen lots of progress, and i've seen some very good ngos on the continent. and then so i think in that way, that i couldn't dismissed as a close trying to interfere so i could speak frankly to them. and most of the time to listen to. >> host: did you ever frank conversations as secretary-general since being secretary-general with robert mcgarvey? >> guest: yes, i met him on many occasions. we talked about african politics. we talked about health issues. we talked about the fight against hiv/aids. i'm never trying to encourage him

impeachable offense secondly some of the facts about libya are left out there kyra it's all over africa all over the world but libya was unique in africa in one sense there's united nations has a number which are the signs to every country called the human development index it includes gender equity it includes the level of literacy it includes standard of living it includes health care now in libya had the highest human development index in all of africa so which dictator did obama and his buddies decide to overthrow it was the libyan dictator and there weren't so limited i mean i said you know look i mean when it's. i submit i submit that the reason why does and i submit that the reason that gadhafi was overthrown had nothing to do with his with the way he governed it had to do with the fact that he was not under the thumb under the control of the empire which is exactly why russia and china and iran are official enemies has nothing to do with human rights it's an excuse keep in mind our brains use lasers and the opportunity to say listen there's a terrorist that's going to that he's

we never went that route but it least it has happened in fact in africa.i also made some statements on governance on human rights, respectful rule of law which in a way has empowered civil society. civil society can quote me and not go to jail. if they made a statement track it by themselves, they get into trouble and so i felt with the robust society in africa one should empower them and encourage them to speak out, to put pressure on the governance to respect the rule of law and human rights and we have seen off the progress and we have seen some very good ngos on the continent. so i think in that way,, i can speak frankly to them and most of the time they listen. >> host: did you ever have frank conversations with secretary-general robert mugabe? >> guest: i met mugabe on many occasions. we talked about african politics. we talked about other issues. we talked about the fight against hiv and i remember trying to encourage him to get the people to use because zimbabwe really was hit by the epidemic and he was quite religious. he was trained in the jesuit

then much to everyone's surprise, he instead approves an invasion of north africa. as he makes a shocking decision there of the blackest day in history if we compare them with the geography of europe, the fighting which went on for the coast of casseaux blanka all the way through to the show was something like a thousand miles where the distance as i mentioned before from sand normandy was something like 500 miles, so this raises the question. why did fdr block his commanders on this decision? here we have to turn to winston churchill. winston churchill was obsessed with the mediterranean, he saw the mediterranean as the british empire he gained a and retained over. they give lip service to the invasion across the english channel, that he and his mother to recovery said the shipping lanes were too long from the united states to great britain and the the troops were not tested and it was too early for them to go up against the germans. the time magazine taunted the president saying we have been in this war over six months and we have yet to take an inch of territory
