that's eleven zero five zero allegations of arbitrary arrests and detentions in burundi all right lois madge is central africa director for human rights watch and he joins me now from he's home in vermont hi louis welcome to news africa why is here. cracking down on human rights groups in this way. well this is this is a trend that has been emerging in since two thousand and fifteen. the country has been in a protracted crisis now coming on two for years and human rights groups historically both a lively vibrant civil society that used to exist in the country and groups such as human rights watch used to have a real role in trying to guide the government on policy for human rights abuses i think it's important to note that up until two thousand and fifteen in terms of civil society in terms of media and in terms of human rights organizations he was a real beacon for the region it was an example put forward for freedoms of expression freedom of association and. major problems in the good pooched the president has been increasingly more and more isolated and with that come a crackdown on anyon

people coming here we never would have been madge and filming anything quite like this. a mountain of empty plastic bottles that you have to climb with seventy kilos grams on your head. at first we're almost fascinated by this blue mountain and the incessant coming and going of climbers all smooth and then loads. but then we took to the. yeah but back here was that. enemy to me. you know. enemy number one. and i'm. not going to have it in the sun throughout the middle of your court that's not the limit for me . at the foot of the mountain these workers begin their final sorting session they put the colored bottles and plastic bags to one side. they put the clear bottles into launch bags these bottles then go through these machines to be reduced to small pieces before they can be recycled. and. until very recently the company exported this plastic to china the largest buyer of recycled plastic in the world this is what the side manager is about to explain to us. yesterday when i was working and asking for collectors tell me about this on the price went down a few months a

has developed what is what's his cons yeah he's got a few concerns to be honest it's not what he did madge and it's going to be not happy with the way this is going it was supposed to be the great leveller he invented it as a way of people being able to share information so that we could solve the world's problems together but in this letter yesterday he says a few issues three particular points that he makes all the time he doesn't like the way it's now being used by state actors to spread disinformation. and undermine democracy he says he doesn't like the advertising models that are often being used that encourage click bait articles so you know things with no real sort of intellectual value he also says he dislikes the way that the internet has encouraged debate of outraged sometimes his stare at cool so he doesn't like the trolling this virtual but lots and lots and lots of money is being made the internet. the world wide web his invention he made available free of charge. now the. companies like this one who actually say thank you very cleverly like this today they may make loads of m

you don't palm olive and madge? i kw many f our viewers know who exactly who madge was. she put the ladieal in palm olive dish soap. easy on your hands, tough on dirt. what i have to do around here to educate these people. 39 degrees here in town. it's a whole lot colden the suburbs this morning, though. 20 to around 30 degrees. those puffy coats are still a requirement for that much of a chil your planner today, reasonable amount of sunshine for the first half of the day but clouds will beincreasing this evening. no need to worry about this umbrella today. tomorrow will be a differe story. some showers likely before the morning commute even gets going. and a lotin of rain d the middle and early parts of tomorrow afternoon. all part of thi weather system which is bringing rain today from chicago to st. louis to tulsa to amarillo. at front is going to be coming in here morrow and it's going to combine with the moisture down across parts of the outer hanks in virginia and bring us substantially hhance for rain. so today we'll go from sunshine to gradual increase in clouds.

truman did was they bought this home from the estate of madge gayts -- gates wallace and all the paperwork was done by the middle of 1953. and then we could legally call it the truman home. and really from 1953 to 1972, were the only years in which harry and bess truman lived in this home by themselves. and many say perhaps those were the happiest 19 years of their lives. >> good feeling. your thought of us is always highly appreciated. we're back home now for good. i'm in the army of the unemployed now. [laughter] although it's a very small army. and i'm here to tell you that a little later on, when i get the job done, mrs. truman has for me, which she says i'll have to do to unpack our goods and chattel and think about seven or -- and it will take about seven or eight men three months to get it done so i don't know how long it's going to take one man to get it done-done. after that i'll be open for dinner engagements and things of that kind but i may be hungry at that time. [laughter] >> after they came home in 1953, almost every room in this house got some type of a makeover where there

yeah madge wanted to make something useful with the bottles. they're filled with sand and stabilized with nylon cord. before being stocked up and cemented in place with clay or mortar. the houses don't absorb any heat so they don't need air conditioning. i do say. because here where yes to see what the town but i'm going to use it as a fishbowl should people. approach industries from. also wants to train more bottle layers to build more houses like this one. you know like that. if you are doing here tell us about. this at our web site or send us a tweet. ashton. do you would be hearing your story. what i mean genius idea i want to what it's like to live in a bottle house well plastic waste is certainly a curse throughout africa it's even played a big part in degrading lake victoria in kenya more than thirty million people live in victoria shores and that also has a drastic effect on the environment yes n.t. other fishing has left more than three quarters of the fish species unique to africa's largest inland body of water and the threat of extin

of what about the killings let's return to a truth that i let someone experience for me and madge and their religion they left these clinics tanks but especially in the beginning it had divisive. the conditions are definitely dying in the come the problem is nobody was expecting these kinds of numbers so it has been overwhelming and it hasn't stopped. that's a wrap up of the day's top headlines for this hour but don't forget you can always find us on your favorite social media platforms such as twitter and facebook for up to the minute reports. monsanto's round up more cigarettes carcinogenic money is the same thing as financially carcinogenic and you need to eradicate what's left by simply getting lighter fluid throwing it in a big pile and something on fire. would hold his hands do something. he put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to be. the two going to be pros that's what i'm up for three in the morning can't be good . i'm interested in the waters of. course. go in and you may never get out some sort of. my teenag

that assault brags that he's going to madge in the u.k. getting hit the hardest of the new actually would lose a substantial amount of money as well so no no changes there even with a delay ok stephen is there any idea in terms of the monetization of this how much would a no go berzerk all know who brags it for national income or looking at fifty seven billion euro loss for the u.k. forty billion euro loss for either member nations germany coming in at the highest with about ten billion billions if i'd said million billion last they're about ireland likely to feel more just because of they have a lower g.d.p. so every little bit lighter darling very much in focus today with a possible know that will be right back this is the the view new. live from the land funny more as well at our website interview dot com thanks for being with us. to explain. he's the president of ukraine but only in a television series. so far at least let him use alinsky really enjoys the role so much so that he's decided to run for real the servant of the people i'm

how did they have madge in the world that they lived in. the engravings on these huge stone that the money lead site also. may provide some insight. at first glance they may seem unrecognizable but a closer inspection shows that each has a story to tell of the siege now here's one boats you know the c. and s. and another the paralleled vertical lines represent the crew got the coop key cinci to keep. images of boats waves and whales is it possible that these neolithic people have developed certain aspects of maritime culture. he says he has an image of a whale the body including a square feet and is clearly visible you know the sheep. they can be sitting on the left and up here you can see the spout which is depicted as a divergent office you could see it convenient to fish and he doesn't fall. we can't say for sure whether the local residents thought that whales were dangerous wild animals or were merely a symbol of marine life in the gulf of moore be all. ancient peoples often painted or carved images of animals. did they do so out of res

i can madge an benign version of that conversation and a nefarious version of the conversation and that second thing, the nefarious version would be deeply troubling. >> we've had reporting there have been conversations. and matthew whitaker apoored to sort of deny that under oath. i want to play hitds testimony because there does seem to be tngz between what he said under oath and what public reporting has indicated and what he reportedly said today. >> at no time has the white house asked for, nor have i provided any promises or commitments concerning the special counsel'sings have or any other investigation. since becoming acting attorneygeneral i have run the department of justice with fedealt to the law and the constitution. >> did you communicate to the president, any soonier white house advisors related to the trump? >> i was very explicit in my opening staumt as to that not only about my communications regarding the special counsel's office and i said other investigations in the southern district of new york would be included in other investigations. >> chuck, you're a lawyer an

madge if we ended up with somebody like we currently have.ve a president who supports -- somewhere strong support around 30/35% and he's not doing so well. we need a president who can unite this country and that's only going to happen if our nominee gets that the middle matters. >> how do you get past the fact that most passionate voters are the ones most polarized. for example iowa has always amazed me. but iowa has a lot of people on the left and the right. a lot of people on the left show up with great passion. they may be bernie people, kamala harris people. very comfortable with the word progressive. don't have a problem with the word social some cases. and not just democrats vote but independents vote who were mostly moderates. and you try to get those suburban votes too. . how do you tell that to the people who know you got to win uniowa first. you lose in south carolina and how can you beat the one who won all those contests? >> i'm not sure candidate who's furthest on the left is going to win any of those primaries. that doesn't mean

if i was a madging genie and could give that to everyone and we could afford it, i would.d categorically she is not for free four-year college for all. we can't afford it. you completely disagree. >> i'm not saying has to happen tomorrow. we can do that. first and foremost, you streamline the system. you squeeze all the fat out of it. we stop wasting all this money on people who do go to school for a year or a year and a half and then drop out because that costs the taxpayer a lot of money right now in pell grants, students loans and all these other things. if we squeeze that fat out, we're going to save a lot of money. then we start encouraging kids to get on a path where they may only need a year or two of college. and the aspiration can be k-16, but let's stop saying we can't do things because it can't happen tomorrow. we didn't go to the moon in one day or one week or one year. but we got there. and i think it's important for us to say education is valued in society, and if we're going to compete against china and win in the long term, if we're going to reverse climate
