McGrath is at the summit what's different about this is that the science is now they're saying things are a great deal of urgency young people are in this process much more than they were before and they're bringing a sense of urgency to it and for sure the negotiators in the still seem to be stuck in 1989 and it's a game of chicken I won't do anything unless you do something new alliances are emerging and I think you'd have to say that that would draw United States has had a negative effect here we've had countries like Brazil Australia China Saudi Arabia and India becoming very very very I suppose argumentative and keen on not going so quickly and bringing up a whole range of issues protesters in the East Indian city of angry about a controversial new citizenship law have attacked trains and railway stations and blocked highways and a 2nd day of protests the new law enables migrants from neighboring countries to claim citizenship if they faced religious persecution but it doesn't apply to Muslims Well news from the b.b.c.

News. You know the only place where we thought that. You were listening to the compass on the b.b.c. World Service and being the Village Voice out there is the way I'm Sandra can far really go with this was the National Guard video of the day and this isn't my normal studio probably for a lot of the slums here and bring up the holiday off you'll probably get a few just giving you are listening to if you can I'm sitting in on a weekly program produced by 3 South African teenagers at Radio Atlantis a small community station about 40 kilometers north of Cape Town Yes as we are here and for 2 years now this team of teenagers has been using this platform to focus attention on one particular subject so yes Castleberry see you all that all these violence boy the alarming rise in violence on the street where they live the host of the show are Logan and to me so before we get into that topic will be good food should pay back be sure to stay here and to me they sound right at home. So this is your radio suit here this is yes what's it feel like when you come in the data from the microphone it's so exciting because you get that I talk to everybody at the you know giving me information and I can help them yeah. That's me again she's 16 years old under Jerrick and incredibly poised it's false you need to put on the mag play music and today the 3 d. But it's quite nice to work the board as well. And this is Logan she's also 16 and combines her studies with modeling competitions and volunteering in the community I'm sure there was a few times when their marks were actually off and I was speaking and I was on and so the people listening to me on that a.t.o. Nothing and am speaking until I actually realised that the lights aren't on so you have mistakes happen but it's fine because so you learn. I got involved with know than and I did one show with them just to see how they do and then after that I started doing shows with them and to make at 17 is the oldest of the 3 she's also the quietest which makes you want to lean in and listen to what she has to say we mean studio we don't just give our brain in the give facts and we give what the community sees so everything goes in one and it's just amazing to see . How everyone that you go mia it's been a while but let's get back to the topic so the minus so basic education say that we need to undertake more t. Shirts about why boys become violent mean explain to me I put together your program so we basically back out descript which is a layout of what we do so we have a guy to show us that this is what we need to talk about to stay on topic because we have to go and what topics to cover you cover more than just this week of the Climate Change savings financial edge of an age. Class community so all those double things. Issues that we face in our community which I have to educate people on anything that we see they aren't educated on but that means you have to become experts on a lot of different things so we need to do our research we need to have redaction meetings we need to it's basically going to school because if you go in and you say something is wrong and someone out there is listening and you aren't talking to you don't know what you're speaking out so therefore we need to educate ourselves as before we can actually speak to other people I said the topics. I've met a fair few adults who could learn from Logan and to me. And this has been a theme of the series The Kids Are All Right teenagers have a lot to say but we don't always listen often writing off these young adults as to uninitiated in the world to know what they're talking about now obviously not all teenagers are learned angels who have all the answers and sometimes you would struggle to get them to articulate that knowledge if they did but teenagers around the world are asking interesting questions and coming up with innovative ways to harness the power of the Internet to live is to their fingertips this final episode in the series is about different ways teenagers in South Africa and later in the u.k. Are trying to tackle the effects of the shocking rise in violence which is seeping into the smallest corners of their lives places where they should have the right to feel safe. It was one afternoon after school and I was king because I had to go do his bass station which is not far from here so I had to work from school and the in his people started that ending in the in the shot went down in was basically a standard to shot and in the advanced game in the I don't know what happened after that sounds pretty frightening it was not knowing what to do because you don't know we the shots are actually coming from so there was like the skating part. You should know a few things about Atlantis it's listed as one of the 10 worst areas in South Africa for common assault so far this year it's one of the 5 worst for drug related crimes and lawyers within the municipal boundaries of Cape Town which despite its beautiful surroundings has one of the worst crime rates in South Africa it's rundown unwelcoming and dangerous and for to meet Megan and Logan this is the reality of their daily lives sometimes the people there and what they got is like yesterday my sister was standing outside I was actually not and the in a group of guys that day and parcel with guns and she came in shaking like oh my goodness oh my goodness they just me and watch me with guns and I was like whoa it's this big thing going on between 2 gangs fighting because they're against each other they want revenge and whatnot and it's kind of crazy because you like stuck in the middle of it so this affects everything you do every day of your low yesterday as like you were too scared to like walk to the shop on your own and you know allowed to stay on the corner of the streets anymore like just like speak to someone for more than 5 minutes because you are skied that something could happen in an instant just a car Davenport's you could start shooting and that's quite good if I because like what can we even live our lives anymore getting adults to grasp these very real threat. It is one of the girl's primary objectives and that's not necessarily an easy task in a society which doesn't rush to hear the messages of a younger generation care enough so give us that cam to actually express lack say what we want to say or lack of peons on topics because if we deign to say something they can just shut us down in instead of asking us what do you think of this and when they shut down the 1st and teenagers Askey to speak back the sake not speak back as in back but in speak back as I say this is what I have on my mind because teenagers have a different perspective because we are seen ages are actually living on a day to day basis so if we dealt in a 2nd Ok I don't like this or this is my opinion on gun violence or in violence in Iraq what do you know you still a teenager you haven't even slow through the years you still going to see what's coming so be it instinctive shut us down before actually adding what we have to say what teenagers say it has much more meaning to it than what they think you give escalated for. When you talk to grown ups to have a look at you so you're just a kid what you do. Is like that but if they look at us like What are you talking about or why are you as a kid actually increasing the topic that there's we which is that say we are the future we're So you saw the future of today so while country state issues or talk about issues start now I must we wait until we are certain age so when they look at us like you don't know what you do we actually go into the studio and kill the middle. Today me going to make and Logan are going to record interviews with members of the public in a shopping plaza 5 minutes walk from the station so I think that's a put to be on the big saying. Just like go it's an open air arcade loud and busy with people weaving swiftly through the stores and passages but a safe space it's not if you walk in you shouldn't really be on your case is that it was we have someone is following us because if we were supposed to back there solo no one would have been gone a long time already. Because you know you you can all just act you want to be like you need to be and you all the time because of the crimes that you have in their community my goodness and if you ever experienced violence for years I was on my way to an outreach worker and we got drugs actually and they took all our equipment and we will a bunch of polls going out to do good and we caused by Ok angles voice it all b.s. Actually if you ever get frightened or. I don't know my mom don't allow me to go to the shop alone because that even though you think that being in that community for us even if you can still do the shop and you will get a dog you will get hooked you can even get kidnapped for school a lot to take in every day life being so young and I'm still trying to do something about it yes and that's what I'm so proud of because I'm not just saying something about it like most people just say stop violence stop gangs but if we're actually out you're doing something about it with. The girls don't go alone that's what Logan meant when she said they had someone following them to the girl's hope is that by being brave enough to discuss the topic of violence openly they can influence young people to choose a different path especially when the pull of gangs is involved but none of this is easy and no boys boys and no one is going to see me. And you know when it's a challenge facing journalist everywhere people see a microphone. Like you see a bit on the way and they are scared because they are scared I'm saying it I'm telling you that bad and it like oh my what the gang is going to come for me I can say this on a hour concert do you ever worry that they're going to go for you know I actually don't know if they're going to come for me if it's to speak about what I believe in and I feel like I need to make a difference and I am going to school with so much gangs boy set up a lot of gangs I see the macros I see they might on my school so I'm not afraid of them because I tell them you can hold me but what I'm going to say isn't stopping you and you know what I sometimes do I going to close and I take my microphone and I gave. They openly and on the topic that I was speaking about seemed rather brave to me. If you want to make a difference you shouldn't be scared yes the east challenges that we face and these obstacles that we go through like but if you believe in what you speak about if you believe that you can make a difference don't be afraid to do or don't answer on the microphone so I go out there and I speak to them and I try to say that no this is bad stuff but so that's what we do basically. I. Think it is Garceau for the boys few months we have been working with gun free South Africa and go into schools speaking. Out you. Know that basically on gun violence each weekly program takes 2 days to put together it was notable as I watched them present this week's program what vivid broadcasters they are. In the words of the in World War so was to be part of the gang and no one set up there and also because that's what we said we are the man in the actually thought about it it's lovely to see how you guys light up this huge grins and about How has being a teenage journalist affected your outlook and how you see your future as a change the direction you think you might go and he is actually I wanted to go in psychology I've changed my mind I've been going to do journalism there a few months ago that we were doing like a community outreach we were like getting like everybody together they want to help us take action and whatnot and then there was like a few people you know and actually so amazing because I even of a strike just came people in a room trying to make a difference we know that we have some of our towards them we know that they know that we are trying to help make our community a big place that seems important to speak with a great passion. Someone has become a part of me like I've been put on this earth to make a change so that's what I'm going to do and their efforts are not going unnoticed you can't be. Nominated for an award haven't you it's a sighting I mean we've done this before so it's like so exciting is blowing my mind the Children's Radio Foundation which supports the youth reporter program this station and 16 others across South Africa has nominated radio Atlantis for a community reporting award which will be handed out at a national gathering in Cape Town a week after my visit the gesture is the work that we actually do pays off so it will be put in even that coming today doing our shows doing ask it's not for nothing it actually visa purposes Yeah it's something good be excited and it leaves open with something. While the increasing gun violence is making life more dangerous for the teenagers of Atlantis. On a city street more than 8000 miles away it's knife crime which is scarring the neighborhood question a Oldham lives. It was here with Russia September come back from this is me and of community links here is an estate in East London normally. It's never going to come home but for some odd reason this one time a kind of stopped in my kitchen I was just chillin and I heard screams from our side and heard someone say he's been starved so my me reaction was to run straight outside and I ran out here and I literally saw a young boy you'll ever had run away from him so I was the 1st one she run straight to him and. To do on the ground at her feet was a young man stabbed and bleeding and in that moment trying to do whatever she could to keep him alive the courage code is hard and just kept talking to her knew him he was a local young where from my neighborhood I knew his name who was to keep him talking I luckily my neighbor came out as well she was 1st a trained so she just came to her rock star in there and frankly he survived but that was.
