It is. Ok professor im afraid were going to leave it there weve got a bit of a trouble but of trouble with the audio line here that was professor from ins Brook University thank you so much. Now to some mali where the country is reeling from fridays truck bomb attack in mogadishu with hundreds of casualties its the deadliest bombing in the countrys history and it comes despite an increase in u. S. Drone strikes against the limits alshabaab militia and the presence of twenty thousand African Union troops and while the focus of the International Community turns once more to security in somalia a far bigger killer threatens the contrary small is in the grip of a food crisis more than three Million People barely have enough to eat four hundred thousand children are malnourished journalists. And young Philip Schultz traveled to somalia before the most recent bomb attack they met people there struggling to survive against the looming threat of hunger and those struggling against the odds to stem the tide of disaster. This babys op or arm is less than eleven centimeters in circumference the red on the measuring tape means shes dangerously undernourished. These eight children brought by their mothers from refugee camps to this clinic in the somali capital mogadishu are all in the socalled red zone. Nine month old ways half of what she should for her age and shes also suffering from an umbilical hernia which requires surgery. For dr mari and muhammad severe cases like this are quite common. You sometimes see you see it laying on a new three minute but the one youre sometimes one of those who makes other combining with other diseases like you know did he understood me when he yeah this is dr mohamad steam feeds faria a highly nutritious Peanut Butter paste. Her mother says this is the first time her daughter has received medical treatment. Their home in Southern Somalia which has been suffering from severe drought for more than a year has no medical clinics. And the islamist militia alshabaab has forbidden residents from accepting any form of aid. To escape with her daughter in secret was. A group of us left together we traveled on foot for eight days i need. Six hundred thousand people like have come to the capital its one of the few places where they can get aid and protection. But even in mogadishu provisions are meager. After more than two decades of civil war state agencies lie in ruins. Monitor hospital one of the largest state clinics in the country lacks medicine and the personnel to provide necessary care undernourished children. As bad as it seems the u. N. Aid coordinator says the International Community has learned from earlier crises instead of simply handing out food he stresses the need to transfer money directly to victims we are using much more innovative ways of assistance and in particular the local numb governmental organizations play a very Important Role in being the intermediary between the local communities ourselves and the authorities. But critics say that even in the case of National Organizations and state agencies its nearly impossible to control whether aid is getting through secretly filmed images like these Show International aid deliveries often end up being sold at the local market places. Anticorruption advocate Mohamed Mubarak says administrative abuses like these wont end until somalias fundamental problems are addressed. If there was unchecked power and when the wild there would be corruption and its because we dont have the checks and balances thats the main reason so we should build on it and invest on the stick institution building. The new government in mogadishu in power since february claims its addressing these abuses. It has solicited direct grants for the reconstruction of state structures. The president on the Prime Minister very keen and trying to stop. Any sort of corruption but this is where we need our International Partners to trust the trust has to start somewhere. Dr mohamad also hopes to be able to treat more than just hunger for next patient is suffering from the effects of untreated meningitis. The small donation funded clinic may be able to save him from starvation but they cannot do anything about his pain. Or d. W. Sunlit haters vanos one of the correspondents behind that report she joins us me joins me now in the studio hi sandra well the scale of the humanitarian crisis in somalia is staggering just how desperate are these people well if you just look at figures and numbers about half the population are dependent on humanitarian aid and yes if famine was a voted in the last couple of months but still about eight hundred thousand people are on the brink of starvation they may need to the basic cities like mogadishu but what can happen in mogadishu we have seen over the weekend with this devastating blast that took away the lies of the three hundred people ok so this is a humanitarian crisis on a massive. Scale half the country dependent on aid external aid you talked to a lot of the aid workers there how do they maintain their motivation to continue in the face of such adversity when we couldnt reach everyone of course we were really. Throughout our reporting dependent on what we could find in mogadishu in the capital because it was just too dangerous to go out you cannot you know just take a car drive on the road and go out to where people are really neat where people are in desperate situation because there is a war going on in this country as weve just seen with the bottle or so it so in mogadishu itself people are trying their level best and yes they could save a lot of people from starvation but there are also limits as we have seen in the city clinic and our report you know you cannot treat anything beyond long attritional raid because you simply lack the capacity you dont have intensive care units where you can take care of people so there are clear limits and i mean that is something you have to do with on a daily basis but what we found is that the humanitarian aid workers are really you know marty they did but of course at times it gets to you when you have this little baby in front of you suffering from you know untreated meningitis and there is you know nothing really you can do very powerful moments youve been reporting in crisis regions like somalia for a long time in your report we heard one of the aid coordinators saying that much has been learned from past mistakes do you get that impression in somalia in terms of the way that aid is being distributed and brought to the people i think this time it was way too much more you know or innovative when compared to previous times if you take yourself back to two thousand and eleven we had a famine and somalia you know its a real currying thing because people dont have resilience. And back then about two hundred fifty thousand people died many of cholera because you know aid didnt reach them in times and if your immune system is you know cholera is something that you will always find with hunger and hygiene the conditions this time yes there was deaths but we didnt really see anything like we saw in two thousand and eleven large scale and yes what they did do this time is not just drop food aid or send trucks with food but they sent money you know with little debit cards that people could use to then go to the markets to buy food that they need and for as long as there are markets this is something you can really do of course what you cannot always control is if this money is reaching the right people as you have with food aid you can never be entirely sure that you know it reaches the people and that it doesnt get deviated because what we found in somalia as well as you know sex a rise from the World Food Program that ended up on the black market like a fifty kilograms sec we could have bought for twenty three dollars if i remember correctly and if we would have bought the whole shack that we found we would have gotten a mess of discount as well so it was clear to you that some of the aid is being diverted that would seem to suggest that theres corruption is involved here yes i mean when where there was no control of course corruption is thriving interior you look at refugee camps which have gatekeepers the gate keepers and a very powerful position if they have bet keepers of course they can you know divert ate and also if that food you know reaches the airport there might be official school saying ok we can make a Good Business e a plus this is also something we need to say there are people who get rice but who want and need Something Else so the recipients themselves might take that to the market. This is the first in a series of reports that were going to be featuring this week on deutsche avella deal. With developing countries and efforts to address the humanitarian crises what more can we expect this week where we live is it almost all of the east african countries that was so much in the limelight in march and april but then became really quiet if we looked at is there now a famine or isnt there a famine so we will be visiting Northern Nigeria south sudan will be going to kenya and also to uganda to find out what exactly are the roots of hunger and it almost all cases we with find that hunger starvation and also famine have a lot to do with political. Son of a really looking forward to seeing the series of reports i understand youre going to be with us again tomorrow to talk more about your own reporting a son of the paters fund whos been in somalia thank you so much for bringing us up to date on that. But we go on to ukraine now where Street Art Revolution is changing the face of the capital kiev artists from around the world have joined locals in painting an explosion of large murals on the great solace of the soviet architecture which dominates much of the city much of the new work captures the open minded spirit since the two thousand and fourteen my don revolution broke with ukraines moscow dominated past. Emmanuel giarrusso is a street artist from canada with ukrainian roots hes come to kiev to add a little color and variety to the citys grey residential blocks. All around ukraines capital the communist era prefab facades are getting a new paint job its a very political process. And victor and his crane are always on hand to host the artist up so he can work at those dizzying heights. It hasnt been anything but a wall for a hundred years and because of open mindedness and you know now its seven hundred years later theres going to be a mirror on it and its to do with that. Open minded perspective and open the box and open the window on the wall so thats the idea. Hes proud to be able to do his part to modernize. He feels as if hes giving the walls a new identity and a new face and helping the city move further away from russia and their shared soviet past. Like how soviet it has because like theres a potential for it to grow in like a modern way that is unlike any other city and watching like that kind of fade away and people kind of. Embrace new modern things like i in a way likes having street art is like a really kind of a modern day modern phenomenon that. The murals are street art for the masses not gallery pieces for the elite of this exhibit is out in the open for all to see thats just what the artists collective wanted something fully in the spirit of the two thousand and fourteen my don revolution. Ukrainian photographer nikifor off takes a different perspective one of looking back. Hes out to document kiev soviet legacy the classic mosaic murals for instance he travels the length and breadth of ukraine photographing them while he still can many are already crumbling. This is no question these mosaics are important theyre part of our culture and country even for my generation even though we werent born yet when these works were created its important to preserve this piece of art history if not physically then in photos but theyre going to. Newest mural is approaching completion its intended to keep the spirit of the revolution alive. The symbolism of peace and change still triggers heated debate. I think we should do away with the old communist symbols and fast i dont want the old stuff anymore im sure theres no need to look back weve got to move forward only forward. Now. While the soviet legacy cannot be denied local say the aggression recently shown by russia towards ukraine has further tarnished memories of that era of official brotherhood. Some bonus League Soccer action now and braman hosted mentioning the home team were looking for their first win of the season and theyre still looking after gladbach picked up the road win and moved into a fifth place in the league.
