Plus kenya as one of the more than one hundred. Ninety countries here in germany for the u. N. Climate summit and that african country is picking up steam on the path to cleaner energy. Im sorry kelly welcome to the Program Thanks for joining us u. S. President donald trump has called on china to pressure north korea to give up its Nuclear Weapons program hes been to his chinese counterpart paying in beijing part of a marathon tour of asia trump received a red carpet welcome arriving for talks on a range of thorny issues with trade and north korea at the top of the agenda president xi pledged that china would persist with the goal of denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula tromp urging him to act fast lets listen in to what trump had to say the United States is committed to the complete and permanent denuclearization of north korea so important china can fix this problem easily and quickly and i am calling on china and your great president to hopefully work on it very hard i know one thing about your prose is that if he works on it hard it will happen theres no doubt about it lets get more now on the statements from these two World Leaders we are joined from beijing by do vary on Mathias Bollinger so much tell us the first press statements after nearly two days of informal talks and formal talks we also have to mention from these two leaders what should we make of what they have to say. Well what we have seen is that atmospherically this visit has been extremely friendly both have been very cautious towards each other both have emphasized their common interests their Common Ground their personal sympathy. Substantially we have not seen and the big progress in the topic neither in the north korea issue nor in the trade which i want to drill down a little bit deeper talking about that north korea issue because were going to talk about trade a little bit later when it comes to north korea the United States obviously wants china to do more to pressure north korea in order to resolve the conflict there can you tell us a little bit more about the methods and the strategies the translight of use this time around and what the results might have been. Well. The u. S. Is convinced that china has the key to the solution of the north korean crisis and that enough pressure from china boards leads to a change in policy to the start of the Nuclear Program on the Korean Peninsula china on the other hand is first of all. Not interested in establishing the reason and secondly its probably not cvs itself as much as influential as a one would like to be towards the north korean regime so what we have is that both sides repeated yes stance on this. Issue and. Now with. Us is pressuring china to work and. Sources you know china has. Ok our correspondent there Mathias Ballinger joining us from beijing and mathias we actually cant really hear you very well at the moment of so were going to try and get that line back up in order to communicate with you further as were seeing there u. S. President onil tromp and chinese president xi jinping basically walking there during a ceremony and as we just mentioned a short while ago they they had made a number of statements to the press mathias was telling us a little bit more about that. Radhika jones is joining us here in the studio now getting more on the business side of all of this because of course you know the trade balance always an issue especially for the United States this is something the trouble also there are certainly since donald trump is u. S. President you remember the times when we talked about a possible looming trade war theyre. Paying of course and donald trump theyve Just Announced a twenty two hundred fifty billion u s dollar deal business deal a further sign off the relationship the of the two men that they have possibly struck now certainly since their first meeting at stroms mar a lago resort in florida that was back in april now things have not always been so rosy the u. S. President has accused beijing in the past of unfair trading practices and he has threatened to china with tariffs lets take a look at this last year the United States exported goods worth only one hundred sixteen billion u. S. Dollars to china however because many u. S. Companies now manufacture there the u. S. Imported about four times that value of goods from china situation is different with regards to chinas direct investment in the United States though Chinese Foreign direct investment in the u. S. Has grown rapidly in recent years and hit forty six billion dollars in two thousand and sixteen but this Year Investment by Chinese Companies dropped significantly down sixty seven percent in the first three quarters compared to two south thousand and sixteen now we were hoping to talk to my ts in beijing i dont know if we still have him on the line and we do so much. Standing by beijing good to have you here with us does this deal this business deal mean that the days of a looming trade war between the u. S. And china over. Not at all these kind of trade deals these signatures of contracts in the presence of president s this is part of the protocol of Chinese State visits so what we can see is just. There has been theres this this is a symbolic signature some of these are just memorandums of understanding we dont know whether these deals will ever happen some of them are trade years that happen anyway but that have spoken the signature has been postponed there was no whatsoever substantial agreement on the structural issues of the trade thats what i mean there is this the apec summit taking place in vietnam this week on a trunkful attended as well as give a speech there tomorrow and now he pulled the u. S. Out of the Transpacific Partnership pacific rim nations however still interested in going ahead with it how does this lets call it new a better relationship between washington and beijing impact d. P. P. Well the idea is to to to conclude the agreement even without the u. S. It was see how attractive this will be to smaller nations that of course. The u. S. Was a major effect its a major market would have convinced people to join this whether this was still be the case without the u. S. We would see we dont know at all i wouldnt see substantial change just due to this visit. As as none of these these structural issues between the u. S. And china right spilling over there via skype from beijing thank you so much for this. Now eighteen t. s plan to takeover offer time warner has been held up by the u. S. Justice department raising speculation of political payback from washington eighty and t. V. And time warner had hoped to conclude the eighty five billion dollars deal by the end of the year but some lawmakers are concerned about a concentrating or concentrating too much power in the hands of the Telecom Giant so authorities house reportedly told to the company must sell some assets before the deal goes through including the c n n news channel which is owned by time warner u. S. President on a trump is a fierce critic of c. N. N. And its coverage of course of his administration and a new owner might not be able to finance its reporting resources a t. N. T. Says it remains confident the takeover will go through as planned. Well back to the story of the Paradise Papers e. U. Commission a scoby chief says that Member States can and will do much more to fight tax havens a top priority is the creation of a blacklist to name and shame jurisdictions that cater to wealthy firms and individuals yet the e. U. Has been working for two years on similar measures with limited success consensus remains a challenge especially among members with low tax rates of their own the head of the European Commission joint clergy younker is himself accused of aiding tax avoidance that was as at this time as luxembourg Prime Minister and my colleague Daniel Venter put it to mr musgrave h. E. That this gives the commission zero credibility in fighting tax dodging. Absolutely false this commission has done more on fighting back through the tax evasion than all the commissions in the previous twenty years you know if you employ you dont think it had waited minutes its not due to the fact that this or that person ids here due to the fact that we are in the new when the new area new period which is a period of transparency i have proposed that i am the tax commissioner and i have got full trust of them could you i act in these name i have proposed eleven proposals directives among them six have been adopted which is not that easy if you consider what is the rule of unanimity inside the e. U. We have the best three thing ever for a commission chose to commissioners michael did not go to this tiger and myself who are really i think a team which is did he get into that text of massive tax avoidance you know you can say that in two thousand and three he encouraged amazon to put its tax base in knox and im talking about the president of the commission and president of the commission and this commission we are i can say that quietly but very confident keep the champions of fighting tax fraud and tax evasion we talked about this is a Commission Proposal i will mention two other proposals to one is the first one is is that i think that the activity of those intermediaries legal advisers. Or fiscal advisors banks it must be made transparent to the next administration and this one is that we have already established a country by country reporting this is one of the six directives i mentioned but between tax administrations i would like it to become public i think there is no a position between investment which we want to protect the event you want to look at her and say yes because transparency if you want. Burnsy is the only way to tackle with those phenomena if we can reach our goal but when you are addressing what you are looking for how will this affect the average person in europe who is watching this right now if you do manage to get what you want and close these tax loopholes and blacklist these tax havens i think that what we are attending now with those Paradise Papers which is a scandal but probably those practices are mostly legal but they are not moral this cannot be possible why because it exists only because it is even and certainly it is revealed if it is transparent if it is public it is not possible anymore you know all those people all the structures all those companies all those states which today named and shamed after the brothers paper if their activity would be immediately made public then they would be much much more for thats why transparency is the massive destruction weapon against tax evasion against tax aggressive tax planning and thats why this commission is so so strong on france broke the you could commission right and you mentioned the threat the potential threat of sanctions what are we talking about here are we talking about fines directly for a few who try and squirrel away their money in tax havens are we all its ok because unless theres a significant legal threat theyre going to continue to say tax avoidance is a misdemeanor were not talking about firms were talking about the states when you have a blacklist of tax even you are talking about the states or territories revanche and some of them are into the ground but there are those states will be which will be listed and i hope that we will have a very. Strong list strong by pleased the sanctions must be linked to our own capacity to their own linkage with the union i would mention for example a world create deals or multilateral or Bilateral Agreements that we have got with them that can be suspended but the best thing should the strongest action is the name and shame ok release me nobody nobody would like to be there and in one word are we now finally going to see significant change and cracking down on tax havens under your leadership in this case its not up to me to decide that you know the commission as a prominent role because we have the monopoly of the initiative and we have taken so many just as i mentioned three of them and believe me if they become decisions that would be different but but the ball is in the camp of the Member States its up to them to decide they have to decide they have to deliver and it will have a vision and it really has to deliver but i hold the end of this year two thousand and seventeen is the year of easy thank you very much for taking the time to talk to us today and i was commissioned up you must be she talking to my colleague daniel with a little bit. That was a frenchman talking to a brit british politics currently going through a pretty rough time another shake up for tourism is government check this out monica the hits just keep on coming because u. K. International Development Secretary pretty tell has resigned it is the second high profile departure from Prime Minister teresa mayes cabinet in just a week but tell admitted to holding at least twelve on authorized leavings with israeli politicians including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during what was supposed to be a vacation in israel but tell has apologized for her actions this is yet another major blow for teresa mayes government which is facing several crises including Sexual Harassment allegations and a stalled brags that. Lets get more now from london we are joined by data is very unfair good master so good just walk us through the reasons behind patels resignation well left effectively being the sport of freelance Foreign Policy thats reason may you nothing about as you said it was on a holiday on a family holiday that the pretty patel met several israeli officials behind to resume a spec but its not just that she did that but also the way she went about it because she has initially when the revelations were on earth by british media she had said that the foreign secretary bros junction knew about it but then later she withdrew that claim also there were fresh revelations that she was checking out the possibility of sending aid money to the occupant Golan Heights so there were there was just sort of a trickle of further revelations that eventually had to lead to her resignation her departure what is this likely to mean ultimately for the government of Prime Minister theresa may how important to it was she. Well its in every cabinet its like a balance so youre trying to balance man and women she was a woman she was also the only woman in the cabinet of ethnic minority also she was a bricks a tear she is a bricks a tear and pretty much on the right of the comes out of party and as such of course it is feared and possibly also the reason why to reason may didnt force her to resign straight away that there is the fear that she could cause trouble from the backbenches now shes somebody who is known to be extremely ambitious and political commentators here are sure that she is going to come back that shes not just going to all of a sudden vanish from political life but that shes still planning her career and she said to have leadership ambitions even for the conservative party but the question is for two reason may issue you going to do that in a constructive way or is she going to do that in a way that could cause further trouble for tourism may by just plotting at the back benches and maybe plotting. Reason is demise who knows theyre going to mass with the latest from london thank you. Youre watching news still to come on the program syrias prisons have become symbols of wartime cruelty here in germany more than a dozen syrians who suffered in those cells are taking action against the assad regime.

Germany could become the first european country to allow for a third gender on birth certificates the countrys top court ruled that present laws discriminate against intersex people those who have a mixture of male and female sexual traits the court said the official document should either recognize a third gender or remove gender entries altogether the change is expected to take effect next year. When you can hardly believe it. The years of fighting for a third gender have finally been rewarded as contestants forms forms there are lots of places in society where theres a split between the sexes. So i have to ask myself again and again how do i define myself do i try to fit in or do i trust myself not to do so and how are people going to react and.

S International Development Secretary has resigned pretty can tell with after admitting to several on authorized meetings with israeli politicians it is the second high profile departure from Prime Minister teresa mayes cabinet in just a week. U. S.

S. He is in china as part of his first asian tour. Today is a unique day here in germany one that marks a number of important anniversaries in the countrys history it was on november ninth one thousand nine hundred eighty nine that the berlin wall fell which eventually led to germanys reunification so this should be a day to celebrate but here in germany november. Theres also the anniversary of darker events following germanys defeat in world war one on november ninth one thousand eight hundred political leaders to clear the country a republic but germanys first experiment with democracy came to be associated with Economic Hardship and street battles between the far left and the far right we know how the history goes after hitler came to power democracy was abolished on this day november ninth one thousand nine hundred thirty eight the nazi regime orchestrated a massive program against the countrys Jewish Population as synagogues and businesses were attacked police did nothing heres a closer look at what happened. On the evening of nov ninth one thousand thirty eight synagogues in europe were set aflame they burned in germany austria and in czechoslovakia organized gangs of nazi and brownshirt funks abused imprisoned or murdered thousands of jews amid the cheers of countless gone seven thousand jewish owned shops were destroyed and the mob then looted the shops that night was the start of the biggest genocide in human history. And joining us here in the studio to put it into perspective is she works with the house of the once he conference of a long while site just outside of berlin that is where the nazis plot of the systematic genocide of europes jews welcome to the program and thank you so much for joining us on this somber anniversary as weve mentioned today im seventy nine years since the nazis in one nine hundred thirty eight this program against the jews since then weve seen berlins Jewish Population growing how do they feel in the city are they confident that this will never happen again here. Well i think what is for them and important now is that due to social media for example Antisemitic Attitudes are much more on the table although the real numbers have been rising so but due to this hate speech on facebook for example there are many members of the Jewish Community you feel more threatened than some years ago which does not mean that all of them think that it will happen again that is i would say there is more confidence that the dramatic aspects will not happen but still we have to be alert and aware of their fears and one of the things that many people are aware of is the rise of the far right a. F. D. A party here in germany which we know is entering the Parliament Following the most recent elections they have some within this party have spoken out against the culture of remembrance in terms of germanys nazi past if you had to put that into context how important would you say is that culture of remembrance i think the culture of remembrance is absolutely important first of all to remember the dimension of the crimes that were committed and secondly also there are many many aspects in our democracy that relate to this history and so in order to understand and fight for our democracy we have to be aware of the past. And were going to get some more perspective on the past in fact im going to stay with us but first we want to look at another element to the story because were going to show you a report now about the persistence of antisemitism and racism right wing rhetoric played a big role in Germanys National elections in september as we just heard with the far right alternative for Germany Party taking thirteen percent of the vote this past week the Jewish Community honored one German Schoolgirl who chose to speak out against bigotry. Fifteen year old a millionaire is visiting the memorial to the murder jews of europe in central berlin with her mother. At school she has seen how hate speech and antisemitism are on the rise again she says it started slowly. This. When people would come into the classroom others would raise their right arm in a deliberate nazi salute sometimes there shouted heil hitler you are cool if you did that. Amount of them afterwards at first she didnt speak up then she saw an Online Chat Group with upsetting images so. There was one picture of a cloud of smoke and the caption said jewish family portrait and that wasnt the only one in the class chart group so i wrote that this guy should stop behaving like hes a nazi and he wrote back saying i should emigrate to poland if i dont like it he asked if i hadnt held too many dead jews. And million reported her classmate for incitement to hatred which is a crime in germany she had to contend with a lot of other classmates giving her strange looks but now the civil courage she demonstrated has been recognized with this award from the friends of the Holocaust Memorial and berlins Jewish Community. And lee says she didnt get much support from her teachers and classmates but she did have backing from her friends and family and she says in the future shell act much sooner against racism and antisemitism. Lets get more now on that racism and antisemitism we are very joined by from the house of the wannsee conference for morial thanks so much for staying with us here and i want to talk especially about young people here in berlin because you work with them how widespread is and his i mean tism. Well antisemitism i would say is much more a problem amongst adults and youve mentioned the f. D. A. And i think. That due to speeches from i have to members many people old and young have the feeling that now we are allowed to say things again that werent on the table before so. I would say that amongst young people there is more antisemitic stereotypes but not the whole antisemitic world view. Based on. Conspiracy. Theories so i would say that with young people its much easier to work with than with adults who are convinced of what theyre saying where are they getting those stereotypes from what you say and you mention that you work with them in order to to change that mindset what do you do well i would say without you know it doesnt it might strong sound very strong but i dont mean to be so strong but i think in the german culture anti semitic views or pictures belong to the culture in a way like there are old pictures that come from the middle age alongside and that many serial types that were put into the society during the nazi period are not gone away so. Its important to work again and again and again that these are images that they dont have to do anything with the reality but as long as we have petitioned who. Spread these opinions in public and its like you know the as de says something the next day they say oh i didnt mean it this way but then its already on the in the in the environment people repeated and repeated and repeated and that makes it difficult and new dialogue a new conversation that is happening one which is alarming to many people and i want to talk a little bit more because we know that you have also worked with germany as an immigrant population youve written about young immigrants and their attitude toward germanys nazi past i want to ask you specifically because here in germany theres also a relatively large muslim immigrant population how do they tend tend to view the past well as long as were not speaking about newcomers or refugees most young people with a muslim background have been socialized in the German School system so in fact most of them are not met much different to their white German School neighbors you have many who are very interested you have some who think its boring and others who dont want to deal with the topic the only difference i would say is that they want to be accepted with their family backgrounds that means as in the moment that you appreciate their family backgrounds and that theyre having family histories that they bring along then theyre very open to deal with the history that they also understand as theres german history is also theres. A history that we were member today on nov ninth that we thank you so much for telling us a little bit more about your work and what you are doing to combat Antisemitic Attitudes. Working with the house of the wannsee conference from oil side just outside of berlin that is of course where the nazis plotted the systematic genocide of europes jews thank you. Well germany may have done away with the berlin wall but in many parts of the world walls of Division Still stand and there are calls to build new ones one such barrier you may not have heard of as in the frozen capital lima there the structure divides rich and poor. Grey dusty and depressing wooden huts hardly any have electricity or Running Water on the other side of the mountain an exclusive neighborhood with a sports field and luxury villains two different worlds separated by a ten kilometer long wall made of stone and barbed wire. Some retaught as lives on the poor side of the wall its one of the poorest neighborhoods on the edge of the peruvian capital lima. The area is called pump lonna alta and its continually expanding people constantly arrive from the countries parity between the two sides have grown. It makes people aggressive because a situation like this one shouldnt exist today its a form of discrimination other people might see it differently but for me its a clear separation of the pool and on one side and the rich on the other. Song or runs a canteen in her neighborhood she offers good food at a good price which her customers certainly appreciate her meager earnings help the forty nine year old to just scrape by she offers meals from Early Morning into the evening during the day she takes time to go out shopping or even to go home for a short rest. She lives alone in her heart she divorced her husband who she says was violent. There are many conflicts here but one in particular is creating tension in the neighborhood people are building more and more illegal houses which is producing a variety of problems in the slums. Were living in a zone with lots of health risks. Theres animal feces everywhere. That raises the risk of infection. Theres plenty of filth and smoke here and the poor neighborhood is in the valley. The air is always smoky from the garbage being burned lots of children have briefing problems and i just have disturbances and theres never enough water. On this side of the wall the stench of burning garbage is always present but theres fire burning on the other side to the villas fireplaces provide warmth and comfort for both workers and owners here in the suburb of los kos what a nice life is good the wall provides peace of mind for those on the rich side or must you not see where you are now from a few words even if my work makes me successful i believe everyone who want success should do well and. We have to Work Together and give each other chances. In my opinion the wall provides protection but the door is always open so that we can be together and. Sebastian hired victoria years ago victoria lives on the other side of the wall he accepts it he doesnt see it as a travesty separating people. Use with yes yes im one of the per people im from the village and thats where ill die. But theres no reason not to be friends with people on the other side. Its not a border i wouldnt call it a wall of shame like other people do such people only want to heart other people see. Barbed wire along the mountain stretching for ten kilometers its supposed to protect the rich from criminals and encroachment of the shanty town the wall was built by the city at the request of the wealthy neighborhoods. Sebastian says its a structure meant to increase security not discrimination. And. The years there were always rumors that my mountain thieves were penetrating our neighborhood. Broadly they werent residents of the poor neighborhood many who live there work here with us and we get along fine. But there were some people who tried to come over to us through the slum men order to steal from us. And its been snowing they were the catalyst for the construction of the wall. It was built for more security this for you. But first the wall symbolizes injustice. It is a wall that separates peruvians from other peruvians its a form of confinement that she will never accept. It also. You can see two different lifestyles that have been deliberately separated. You can see two different worlds from up here. The lives of the rich and the poor. Its very sad that there is such a wall of cement built to separate people. The need for security and separation is an indication of social disparity studies show that this tendency is growing. At this wall through lima that tendency has already become concrete. All this week we have been taking a look at revolutionary events one hundred years ago when russias communists seized power and berlin also played a role in that story in the spring of one nine hundred seventeen the bolshevik revolutionary Vladimir Lenin was living in exile in Zurich Switzerland he was given permission to travel by train across german territory on his way back via scandinavia and St Petersburg he was welcomed by jubilant crowds. And en route lenin passed through the german capital its just one of the many ways that berlin was touched by the rough Russian Revolution as our reporter found out one hundred years ago the magnificent custom a train stations to them the sports the carriage was not even living on board stopped here in the spring of one thousand seventeen named wanted to return to russia you want to travel. It was the imperial authorities who loved living in strongs it through germany during world war one. The original documents that put this faithful alliance of convenience in the fact on display in the audience German Historical Museum a german diplomat sent a telegram to believe the threat learned in the last century in russia hes doing just what you want. Oct it says here ten million german marks for political propaganda in russia and someone corrected it to say fifteen million we found a lot of documents. There were huge sums involved. As many as two million russians fled their homeland after the nine hundred seventeen revolution this caved in few of civil war taro and starvation it was mainly the intellectual elite who were squandered by the bush weeks doctors and write us officers and our restock rats their lives in exile were shaped by few of an unknown future. Might have been michael was born to a russian noble family her father at the asking was a cadet in the marin the cademy of St Petersburg he fled russia a few months after the revolution at the age of sixteen if you ask me where my home is or i have no home. I have no because i feel at home nearly everywhere i mean ive been to many places and. I can adjust. After many detours through being in germany from north because family settled in the us as did many other russians who fled after the revolution you had. The highest the record i restore christian who was working in factories and doing work which brought in pay and the pay was your could live on something. And if was very very difficult. For many exiled russians believe it was the first stop here they couldnt buy a new car from the carol spec home and getting visas to enter germany was a relatively simple process of the border my new russian way futures were granted political asylum charlottenburg at a district where most of the three hundred thousand russian settled was nicknamed shall not rot. When i was in my comments to the russian that intensely the reasons might sound from a. Torrent and the best sense and different. Deployed to underbelly praise berlins easygoing atmosphere with passages such as night cocaine that. It was here that led him in a book of what hes most famous novelists and russian and the celebrated author boyce pasternak lived in the same area. It was a city within a city in a corner gives guided tours about the russian exiles in berlin in the twentys. And through the fear of i had people who came here enjoyed a lot of freedom. There were eighty seven russian language publishing houses. There were plenty of russian restaurants Russian Orthodox churches and workers associations so for the people who fled hunger there was plenty to eat it wasnt just about waiting to see what would happen in russia people have a good life here. But my new russian state only a short time before heading to paris or new york. Most of the exiled russians like money from north because father never saw their homelands again he left his diary to you and read it a lot for his native language and russian culture. Climate talks are underway in the german city of bonn this and next week delegates from more than one hundred ninety countries are discussing how to implement a landmark Paris Agreement to curb Global Warming one country at the forefront of the fight against Climate Change is kenya the country already meets thirty percent of its energy needs from Geothermal Power which doesnt generate any Carbon Emissions kenyans are also adjusting their farming practices in response to changing weather patterns have a look. And list distances stretch out before us in the Great Rift Valley in kenya and here in lies the hope for the countrys energy supply. We take a ride to a Geothermal Power plant in all caria two hours by car north west of the capital nairobi. Steam rises through the over four hundred drill holes in pipes its an ideal location for Geothermal Energy here the engineers tell us they only have to drill about two thousand meters to reach the crucial steam just to compare in germany drill holes can reach ten thousand meters the. Resource in kenya is up to ten thousand men or what but so far weve been able. To do. More than six hundred. Expensive yeah there was all we need to be observing that we were still learning we we dont want to well use it almost thirty percent of the energy used in kenya is produced by geothermal plants and this number is set to rise without dangerous emissions. Theres even a public Swimming Pool featuring sulfuric water plumbed from the depths but Geothermal Energy is expensive and not every attempt at drilling is successful thats why germany has decided to invest over one hundred Million Euros in kenyas Geothermal Energy. Deals have to be developed drilling is risky though and someone will have to take on at least part of that risk can you cant do this on its own with us. We drive back to nairobi to visit the ministry of the environment while outside a traffic jam stretches across the city. Inside pacifica gola tells us that her country is counting on Renewable Energy sources such as Geothermal Power and their hopes are high for the bond climate conference. We are the ones who are experiencing mega impact on Climate Change when it comes to issues like drought and floods so we expect the while to actually make the bold move that steps and we expect to maintain the political momentum to make sure that we are able to retain the momentum and to be able to deliver bankable projects with a low Carbon Intensity of beyond twenty fifty. At the foot of mount kenya for example Climate Change is becoming more and more apparent the farmers here have been taking part in an irrigation project for the past four years growing bananas they used to be able to count on rainwater but that is a thing of the past. Anything. Being. And it was leading us. Back to these bananas giving us money. Despite the lack of rain theres still enough water here numerous rivers flow down mount kenya dams catch the water and channel to the fields the German Development bank has invested about five Million Euros in this project. Is it invest kenya here in west kenya we are actually in a very fertile region the problem is that our rainfall is becoming more regular and the farmers cant count on it anymore because of this project the farmers have water twenty four hours a day they can plant throughout the year and are no longer dependent on the effects the climate has on rainfall. Climate change requires adjustment like the farmers planting bananas or the use of environmentally friendly power using Geothermal Energy kenya is bracing for the future.
