it never got to the explosive levels he later saw in east africa and southern africa or in the united states or europe. there are different reasons for both of those things and i'll take them one at a time. in the congo, anything in subsahara can opt -- sub-saharan africa boys are circumcised either at birth or when they go through -- and that is a deep and ancient tradition among many african societies and muslims. in the places where male circumcision of was routine, hiv never got beyond one, maybe two or 3% of adults getting it because the is much more vulnerable to hiv than other parts of the man's body. as a consequence, you have a persistent low-level simmering epidemic in the congo basin. as the years go on and as human movement continues to become more efficient, hiv makes its way over to east africa and rwanda, uganda and parts of coastal places like victorian in those places men are not circumcised. they have a different tradition rather than coming over from nigeria or west africa. they came from down the nile valley and so you have millions of men who are not circumcised s

these bean plants in a laboratory are growing in the sand from the river which runs across southern africae of the most important food stocks for the people of the basin. the researchers are trying to find the best growing conditions for the plants. they are particularly interested in the little modules on the plant's roots. they contain special bacteria which content nutrients in at the soil. the bacteria produced nitrates from air. >> we need nitrogen. we get it from peace. plans also need nitrogen to build their protein into biomass. when we harvest the plant material from the field, we're taking nitrates from the field. somehow we have to put them back. either we spread fertilizers or leave it to the bacteria. >> how to the bacteria and the plants interact? is it possible to improve that interaction? that is what the researchers are hoping to find out. their goal is to use the bacteria to make the ground more fertile, thereby increasing harvests. that will also mean less what land being cleared for farming use. -- less woodland being cleared for farming used to the team also discovered

but in southern africa you lose circumcision traditions and they get the of regis hiv rates. to go to bet gay community it is less of an issue because it anal sex which is much more in issue to spread it they and vaginal sex. '70s and '80s you have a culture where men have more partners and that heterosexual counterparts with bath houses and that is remarkably efficient to spread the virus. >> host: your book has been called controversial by some. the aids industrial complex actually say your ideas are crazy. which of your radius do you think they are talking about and why is it controversial? >> >> guest: we had thousands of different conversations with mike co-author daniel halperin. there is something for everybody to hate to. if you are on the left in believe it is told of poverty and poor health care the remedy is condoms and testing, that is not the whole story but if you believe about abstinence are the different merrill values that is part of the story but not the whole story. aids is the most politicized epidemic which has a lot to do with everybody feels okay shouti

it had never got into the kind of levels you salt in east africa and southern africa or the community in the united states and europe and there's different reasons for both of those and i will take them one at a time. so, the congo and in most of sub-saharan africa boys are circumcised either at birth or they go to the initiation ceremony of adolescents, and that is as deep and ancient tradition in this society is as it is for muslims, and in the places where male circumcision was routine, hiv never got beyond one or two or 3% because the foreskin is much more vulnerable to hiv and other parts of a man's body and as a consequence, you have a persistent low level epidemic in the basis. as the years go on and the transports moving into the movement continues to become more efficient, hiv makes its way over to east africa into ugonda closest to lake victoria and in those places men are circumcised and that is because they are from a different ethnic tradition rather than coming over from nigeria and west africa they came from sudan and down the nile valley so you have millions of men cir

across southern africa, traps like these claim the lives of dozens of lions every year. and this is where the lions cross onto farmland. the broken fence of a neighbouring game reserve. the namibian authorities should repair it. but if at all, its the farmers themselves who do so. and committed conservation groups, such as africat north, a foundation dedicated to preserving the namibian lion. 51-year-old namibian tammy hoth is the head of africat north, shes on the frontline of a perennial conflict, between farmers trying to protect their livestock, and local lions roaming their traditional territory. namibias etosha national park has around 400 wild lions. they generate millions in tourism revenue. as the top predator, theyre vital to the delicately- balanced eco-system. but in recent decades, theyve been trapped, poisoned or shot. experts estimate their numbers have been halved in the last 50 years. >> obviously, we want to protect and conserve the lions, but on the other hand we need to find solutions for this conflict. and the farmer has a problem, he has a real prob

idea of this regional new bank and partner looking at in south africa the development bank of southern africa it is the bank that i was the c.e.o. of and built a regional platform for so these are great institutions the infrastructure banks they focusing on many of the similar issues and i think across them and sharing capital and expertise across them is a great idea. to think of course is that regional banks like the african development bank american bank the asian development bank the european bank for reconstruction also tremendous institutions as are many of the national and others but these are complementary not competitive with the world bank in so far as the world bank is the only global institution that can focus on the big global issues facing the world these regional institutions are not able to grapple with the scale the number of countries the number of regions all the different expertise that are required for the global issues so i think while they are competition for these institutions in very specific areas like infrastructure finance with countries that are not able to deal w

so from north africa, patton goes to sicily. lands in the southern part of it. it's very popular in the movie that he wanted to land at palermo on the top and british land in the south and cut it off. but i was reading a british raf officer who was in charge of the code breaking. and he said they briefed patton about two months beforehand and said the germans have concentrated their troops in palermo. it's unwise to land there. and patton said you're right. it wasn't the great controversy that the movie makes. so here he is landing in gella is the way they pronounce it in southern sicily. and he said that this is not a posed photograph. i don't know if i believe him. but he said he could hear the machine gunfire in the distance and artillery. that's how close the front was. and this african-american soldier, it's not george meeks, he said this guy had gone awol from his unit because he knew patton in his younger years and wanted to serve with him in sicily. patton's 7th army starts pushing up the spine of sicily and is headed towards palermo. this is a dead germ

southern part of the united states. let's begin with the people themselves. there's been a tendency among some sectors of the academic and educational community to think of africa as a country rather than a continent. to think of african peoples as a homogenous group. the african people involved in the slave experience were diverse, frequently as much strangers to themselves as they were to the european captors. africa is a continent with a multiplicity of ethnic, national and religious groups and this culture and religious diversity was represented in the population that's were involved in the slave trade. they brought their ga and cultural attributes with them but these facets of each of their individual identities were interconnected and intertwined with the cultural and ethnic experiences of other african that's they met here as well as with the indigenous peoples and the peoples of the various european colonial powers. they were transformed into new people in this new world. these neoafrican people were bu different from the other people. i'm criticized for saying but i think i'm right that given the fact that all of americas people are part of the african
