Thank you to you my me take forcefeed to beat. Him or them big will be jumping on his socalled mike and up. And last but not least will be heading to total to make that call tell giants what i think so well show us all the wonders of the capital it will me. As you can tell lot on your agenda once again report takes us to west africa where the baath weight is one of the highest in the world this growing young population could drag the local economy i guess thats what many people think but how many children can cause a financial bottom for 5 years and a Serious Health problems for women having several pregnancies in a row but Family Planning and contraceptive methods a state of war subject in many of the conservative with the majority countries of the region however in senegal the inflight slowly be changing a growing number of young couples want to take control over how many children they will have and when every day in going south goes door to door visiting family some have the kind neighbor who she says. The district godmother or until she wants to see change in her community. In the privacy of their homes she talks to women about sex and contraception the of the. Not every woman is able to go to the clinic and choose a contraceptive method. She needs her husband to agree and sometimes also her mother in law some women come to the clinic and say my husband wants me to take this specific method even if its not saying it so we go and speak to the has been to raise his awareness of our role is to media. Yes you. Have in media to such a Grassroots Level makes a big difference sophie put young to rate a midwife at him by a dinner View Health Center 10 years ago the government launched this Outreach Program to make Family Planning a party they hoped to decrease my turmoil and new little debts. According to the world bank defensively to reach dropped below 5. Children per woman in 2016 it was the 1st time a senegalese history the better it is now 4. 00 lower than other countries in the region such as new jersey old nigeria and the queue outside sophies practice is always growing them in the sky. In 2009 when i started working here we had around 400 women a month who want to contraceptives. Now we have up to 2500. 00 women a month so the growth has been exponential. And massimo i do mean really well. I think its because of all the awareness campaigns the media the fundings also women now realize the benefits of spacing out pregnancies for their babies their husbands and for themselves. Do give. Them this mother of 3 comes here regularly to get the pale she doesnt want any more children she wants to make sure her kids get the best education possible. Family planning i have peace of mind now i can do whatever i want without thinking of getting pregnant. And cynical are on 1005 percent of the population is muslim. Society here is conservative awful as part of a growing young generation of religious leaders who promote Family Planning for more than 2500 moms across the country he insists that the koran advocates Breast Feeding and space in our pregnancies. When you read they had the author of the words of the prophets you can clearly see that he was against both pregnancy said they had terrible consequences for the newborns and for the mother. More and more mired couples are now using contraception but because sex outside marriage just consider topple single young people are often excluded from awareness campaigns on sexual and reProductive Health. And. Because of the priority is to educate the youth compounds. You have to make them understand what is at stake when there is an unwanted pregnancy. What is at stake when they have an uncontrolled sexuality. Is mine. In a country like senegal must be a priority to. Progress has been made but. Health workers women in. Positions can say many. Women across africa dont always have the freedom to make decisions over their own bodies often because of social pressure and tradition but Family Planning will play an increasing role in years to come because according to the wall bunk africas population is likely to double by 2050 meanwhile the resources are becoming. Fostering debate our reporter aided him on he said nigeria which is projected to become the most populous country in the world. Africas population is growing fast predictions say that by the year 2100 bill before point 5000000000 africans thats about a 3rd of the entire global population so we are here in congo the most populous state in the most populous country in africa to find out how exactly that future we look for africa is my i want to begin with you should we trust these numbers are they accurate and where do they even come from for me the numbers are accurate because when you look at the investment like. I put into research and i think you have. To ask. For. Something i have thought about because. The numbers might not be extremely precise but we know that africans are going to increase and i want to come to sign up because youre an advocate for children and adolescents and specifically against Child Marriage and i want to find out from you why do you think africa. Are increasing in population where the rest of the world the trend seems like theyre decreasing where because there are some months. With the guts. Like population is booming and is increasing they by d. And we are not doing anything about it in precisely do not and the increase. Of child brides given by that a very young age and the booming of the population this is causing a lot of problem from. A so mr director general were hearing that resource is a stretched thin are you feeling it when you are governing indeed it is very true that facilities stretched at the moment we have 3000000 children in public primary schools which means a little forms needed to minute the education of these children under the government at the moment theres no tub these funds so if the government doesnt have money to take care of the people that it has right now how is nigeria going to take care of itself in the future zeinab i want to come back to you because i really want to get to the heart of this why then are we not are we having 5. 7 children thats the average age of number of births per woman in nigeria compared to one point something in europe why are we still having so many children if its not working if we cant afford it yet because we didnt access the parmalee line and i think there are a Productive Health rights and we are growing prize to leave without any relations make i said in the post this and also that hes some really joes unconscionable pop does that is i picked in that also because all the rage and the prime least him of the not thats so him and so weighs the balance between religion culture and really just being rational primarily for lenin islam is at. When there are problems but it is not allowed when it is intentionally mad to check the wheel the idea of let me help 2 people or 3 people like how other people are doing in their culture is prohibited i want to understand to what degree do women have the agency not necessary for Family Planning but even to space their children actually i do think they have a lot of c. Because i just had a baby 5 months ago so i was like my husband and i decided to space you know to perth and i like lets go and check out the child space when you need to be so like 5 to 6 women i think 3 of them came on their own but the hospital said they have to bring the husband or a written letter from him signed that he has agreed you know for them to do the spacing like i met a woman at the child spacing unit shes 39 and shes just tired she has 8 children so she doesnt want to you know do it anymore but the husband is and is insistent that she has to do it again what is going to happen to this set of women because a lot of them are out there they are tired they are sick but the husbands which are not even able to take care of them still want them to keep giving birth why why is. When you talk about these issues. Yes because of the issue of gender equality its like when they are talking about education because if it goes i educated all these issues will go down they are not even making any effort to have a bill and even to sign a bill of rights and so that it will address at least less. Education ok let me come to the director general because you spoke directly to him that the idea of Free Education is really incompatible with whats happening right now because youre not even addressing things like Child Marriage indeed we dress in things like child murders we have this. Arrangement where we give monies to parents of goes to allow them to continue their education or to secondary school level let me find out what is that what will a consequences if a parent is found to have given their child out for marriage when theyre too young of course that there are extant laws where by if you refused to take your girl child Free Education. Process would be followed anything. About where did you lead legal process. Im not a lawyer so i dont know anything anything i thought it would be a like a well known law but in a moment like to come back to you. Allow me to ask what would happen if the government of Nigeria Today the federal government said that the problem of population growth is to begin nigeria and we now have to cap the number of children to one poem on what is is just an assumption. The question is based on assumption yes of course but im asking you is this something that you think could work in nigeria in cannes or even in africa it will work somewhere and it will not work somewhere. That. Is in line with their culture and believe well accept those that see it as negative were rejected while we were able to do once in that piece and kawar and create awareness and 1000 to get them education because this i had people that i give in but so if you light in them and give them a line is that if you need this is the point is that will happen if there is a population crisis in the country so its not the type of the number of children that youre going to be given back to you can talk to the husband look im not able to get my to because of im not ready to give but because of my Health Condition because you can enlighten them even to people in the areas and once and that is my take so information for you is what would they mum is refusing but im not going to stay there because i dont want to start a war i wonder what do you think its been a very exciting debate here in cannes oh im edith q. Money thank you for watching. What an exciting day thanks for and thanks to all the panelists now if you would like to watch the full version of this straight debate please have a local noise you tube channel we cant wait to read all your comments there robbie the growing population is also a challenge in mozambique where since 1005 the number of residents has increased by 30 percent and more people means more and more cars trucks on the route will be 80 is a daily struggle for many with them because as we follow to the streets of makoto but innovation is on its way. Each morning before sunrise thousands of commuters crammed into overcrowded mini buses in the outskirts of. The often have to wait for hours to get a free seat on one of these open trucks. Known locally as my loves because the passengers on the crowded transporters have to hang on to each other in order not to fall. In or on the average as a teacher who has to take this route each day getting to work takes her 2 hours she has had enough of that i. Know. This is not a witch Transportation System but you dont have any other option available but today at least im lucky because im sitting in the front seat well spent most of the days and in the back this is not safe it taught me put our lives in danger every day but that is not english not only is public transport. It is also unsafe the number of Motor Vehicles registered in mozambique has grown by more than 50 percent in the past 5 years this has also resulted in increased bloodshed on the roads several 100 people are killed in traffic accidents to each. Driver. Has experienced many accidents. Over the one where it was said the east is a story that keeps running through my mind you know the roads here are not ok once one of the drivers had to hit the brakes abruptly and all the people on the street all of them all of them for sure. But. In order to make the streets safe has tried to ban the use of open trucks in the past but the day they stopped operating tens of thousands of people failed to get to work bringing the city to a standstill authorities were forced to withdraw the decision. But safe alternatives are on their way Software Developer is your body talk has been well. Immobility designed to get you to work on time and without stress. On its name where i work in sort of useful. Against barack. Is a service that is going to help was on beacon swear to transport most people are suffering every morning waiting for us crumbling for my loves you there might be a but then we are going to solve this problem i am going to charge my. Phone. Connects motorists have empty seats never be a cold with passing just wanted to catch a lift into town. Payment is done by a mobile money platforms such as m. P. s from one kilometer of the journey costs about 3. 00 euro cents. This is not too expensive the public transport system costs around 20 rows and flat but it means that i have to go through so much trouble in the morning i have to fight for my place in the taxi so for me its much better to pay a bit more for better and more Reliable Service this is much more efficient than the taxi speak. To the founders of well i want to revolutionize the private transport sector and provide a more dignified mode of transportation however the service is still in its infancy so far there are only 4 drivers taking part in the service and about 50 paying passengers. Theres no money for publicity work. Like all startups we are still a small enterprise we need to be patient and direct all our efforts into the right direction. Is to keep growing we expect to be able to transport about 1000 people a day. Now which changed. Set of will in kenya a country well known for its World Records in Atlantic City but not necessarily its status at least not yet with skateboarding kicking off in east africa in the lead up to its debut in the next olympics d. W. Mex the children of nairobi were dreaming of becoming the worlds best. When they grow up. Say again escaping my helps me to be strong when im on my schedule but i feel free when im moving on the board especially when im dropping into the ball and i come out i feel so good. 16 year old. She gets the chops. In my role being. 100. 00 children but a speech box is the best part at least the children think so. Because out. Of the. 14 its not just the stuff that goes past. But also its largest for the children selfconfidence theyve been able to express themselves theyve been able to pull from them both to open up and appreciate them he says when she watches the children skate and she sees cars full of neglect and abandonment. She sees a brighter future. As often as i dream of going to the olympics one day and introducing other women. Showing them they shouldnt be afraid of skating because nothing is impossible you just have to have to move around and be feeling and have enough confidence confident enough. To make a living but skateboarding one day and when she wants to build a whole bunch there will be underprivileged children. And im sure in the dream house well thought only be a skate. Now from east africa to west africa were traveling to total its time for im outta my. Today guided go on a sculptor with c. N. N. To share his passion about the totally capital with the. Im glad hes so sculptor of giants ill introduce you to my beautiful city one of my sources of inspiration i hope you like it. That the so was born into a capital roman which is home to more than 1700000 people. Voted on the border with ghana the coastal city of course not only miles and miles of beaches but its also home to the leading container port in west africa but the city does not profit much from it as it is mainly used for transfer shipments the majority of the population live off from what treat. Their man is account please and these sense of tranquility is also noticeable in a studio located in the neighborhood of the coming. War this is why i communicate with the would i like to bring new life to the dead mice cultures can be up to 4 metres tall i use my artworks to talk about a feeling in my heart my goal is to give something new to the world. The 20 year old artist never picks up wood from living trees conserving nature is very important to him they and scatter also incorporates Recycled Materials into his act works to make people aware of the importance of protecting the environment like many cities in west africa a man has a problem with its with management this is very much i always feel shocked when i see people to rubbish on the street that is why i gather to waste to include it in my work i even pay people to go to the. Damn and collect trash for me if youre so. Good at the so also looks for inspiration beyond Environmental Issues he also gathers ideas from the local i can take china and historical treasures such as rome is old pierre which was built by the german colonial regime in the early 20th century what im what im here so here i think the old port is like a giant sculpture its like a museum where parents can tell their children about the colonial history of total new york. Who. Was a German Colony and see while one at which point it was taken over by britain and france in the commercial heart of la may this Colonial Heritage blends with more than acted like the piece monuments located into one the sculpture takes its inspiration from picasso his piece down.
