and getting married at the very age has been done to fight this cruel practice. the 77 percent in 60 minutes on d. w. a. if you ever have to cover up a murder, the best way is to make it look like an accident. raring to you've never read a book like this. would you literature list under german law st. ah, this is did of the news africa coming up in the program? the danger of water pollution? we visit a community in nigeria that is soon shall blaming them for spill in poison into its rivers and drinking water. also coming out vaccines can be a baby's 1st line of defense when it comes to early childhood disease. but in garner they have run out even many in funds,

dangerously exposed on the challenge of being black in germany. we meet the synagogue, he's man living in hamburg, sharing his experience of racial discrimination. ah, i am eddie mike are junior and you are welcome to the program. what are is are well it's live blood, but it's been poisoned by pollution. that's what un secretary general antonia good cherry said at the world conference on water across africa, one in 3 people do not have access to safe drinking water. some of the causes are manmade. like in nigeria, as niger delta. the area was once filled with flows of clean fresh water, but not anymore. thousands of people in 2 communities. a su in petroleum giant shell for making the water unsafe to drink. due to the oil explorations,

our correspondence flows drucquer i sent us this report from a galley blessing james b as a double boy. firstly, she has to walk all the way through the public trap to fetch water. secondly, when she gets home with a heavy load, it feels none of her needs. and it's dangerous. these 4 days, no good, i will be fed is what a lady will useful above me. so we know for you to use it for wash it. see, we know for you, you did for will you, we hear the smelling pollution from oil spills. has left the ground water contaminated big oil multinationals like she'll have exploited the deltas or reserves for decades. the local community used to be able to rely on fish in the river was the our sauce of food, income and drinking water. we are the what i used to team with fish. now we are

reach only in pollution. this is the or go near reverse in line j delta, and if you look closely, you can see oil at the surface of the water and also some fish have been washed off the shore as a result of the pollution, this water is completely useless even though people can't see what i hear the actually have no access to clean water. the united nations environmental program ran tests on the water in or gully. it found levels of care sacrificing benzine to be $900.00 times higher than the levels permitted by the world health organization . scientists also found 8 centimeters of refined oil on the ground water which feeds the whales that people drink from. local authorities have want people to not drink the contaminated water and suggest they buy bottled water. fuel can afford

that, forcing them to leave with a death rate to be a health. that's why you see more st. andrews. he in the levels, ovarian cancer. prevalence is increasing where seen the age of people coming down with cancer decreasing before you see consequences from 5th to 6070 years. when a few p deep children come and ari cancer, it pained $1520.00. the government provided what i say shows across the village to supply clean water from other communities or we are told, none of the stations have worked for years. local authorities admit that not enough is been done. but say the responsibility for solving the crises lies elsewhere. what we do us for local government and her her stead labrenz's daughter supports support services. bob's the main issue is with the federal government relieved while politicians elaine jerry are past the bach and b cow,

whose responsibility is to provide clean water for the people of all galilee. king emory godwin or carby has taking matters into his own hands. the traditional leader has leased stead 14000 individual cases of the damage caused by shells. oil spill and the seeking compensation. as quarts in the u. k, we had the company is based off of people that are big people that, that receive dividend. and they sit down and enjoy the money and the, our children, doug, grandchildren, is enjoying the money. i want to tell them that money is blood money. that money is broiled broad money. as you're using the money to, to get call ford for you, your children, and your different your descent, the all your dependent. so our children of or gully are dying. the court case could take years in that time,

nigeria and she all will continue to earn from or galleys oil. yeah, regroup, blessing. james has a message for those who profit from her pin. i'm not happy now. why does the sofa the, the so now i'm a fish. i was supposed to have my, all, my, my have more and more people here appealing their hopes on the quote for seamless. yet. who does a royal dutch shell to do the right thing? but to that ruling, comes the people of all galley condemned to drink poison from on those. let's bring it up. matthew renshaw, a lawyer and partner lady. he's working on the claims involving allegations of about mental, how close by celebrations in the niger delta. hello mark. you, thanks for joining us. so what exactly do your plaintiffs wants from the court? so we're, we're representing 2 communities, the

a golf community and the billing community who are claiming, because of serious all the nation from shells operations in a noise and out. and they started that claims here in the, in the english line course in 2015. they are seeking compensation for the loss of livelihoods, the loss of income, the other losses they suffered. and crucially that also claiming to clean they want shell to clean up the oil that is continuing to believe that communities to this day it sounds fair enough. cell is planning to leave the niger delta t i. e t. as of exploit and there is apps there, but they are not taking responsibility for the pollution. what arguments are they making? so then they're going to with lots of arguments, in this case, for example, they say that the communities were representing have no right to go to court and get shell to clean up. they say doesn't matter purely for the nigerian regulator

today. they also say that any spills that, of course, by bunkering that caused by oil theft shell, is not liable to pay compensation for those in any circumstances. and shell says that spills around time if they happen to more than 5 years ago. she also has no responsibility for those. and all of these points the shell are putting forward have significant implications, as you say, with the background that shell potentially is looking to die past and leave the noise adult. and the question will be, what legacy will a leave? are they going to leave communities like these with chronic oil pollution? or are they going to clean up before they access the noise? it sounds like cell is not literally taken 0 responsibility. so let me, let me ask this again, is shell offering to do anything at all about the mess it has cost?

not at this stage? no. and these claim started in 2015. and as i said to the, the claimants to living with, with chronic coalition, the un went to one of the communities in 2011 and said there was an immediate danger to public health because of the all pollution that the claims were started in 2015 at the outset shell was challenging them saying the claims should be heard in the area, not in the u. k. making jurisdictional legal arguments to try to stop these claimants coming to court in the u. k. and making that case. so, so there have been 7 years since these claim started and still there's no indications that shot is looking to, to clean up in the community to compensate people for their losses or anything like that. at the end of the day, justice must be saft, right? so when might members of the community see that justice and finally be able to drink clean water?

and we think there may be a trial in the latter part of next year, potentially. and obviously, if, if the claims are successful in that trial, then we'd hope soon after that they would be receiving, compensation and show would start to do a proper cleanup to international standards of these 2 communities. it may be the claimant's of settled along that door is always open. if a shell is willing to talk to them, if shell is willing to take proper steps to clean up, then as soon as that happens, the better for the claimant's. let me ask you this briefly on this as the worst case scenario. that shell actually gets to walk away free. well, it's sharla correct with the legal arguments that putting food in this case, they would have very little obligation, very responsibility for cleaning out oil pollution and, and i to dallas and not just in these 2 communities, but more broadly. so the, the arguments that have been tested here all very significant,

we are optimistic and obviously extremely hopeful that shelley is not correct. and that it does have legal obligations to clean up to these communities in other communities like these. but the, the significance of this case is that those sorts of arguments are potentially going to be tested in the course here in england. ok, matthew renshaw, lawyer and partner late a. thank you very much for your time. thank you very much. ah, it wasn't, did of the news africa still to come dealing with every day racism in germany, a young black man chassis experience of racial discrimination. my 1st, the corporate pandemic showed us one thing that vaccines our life save us, you know, kill ation, is especially important for babies who have no immunity of the own. so what happens if there was no access to the japs?

that's the situation in ghana where some hospitals are forced to attend hope for mothers away. maxwell soup tells us more in this report from tom ali in the north of the country. it might look like in no my children's ward, but nothing is normal. he added tamale west hospital. these children all have ms of the abilene care for any special you need a we, from what a children. an outbreak of the infectious disease has led to a sage in cases we suspect at dave's residence, bloomed watson shortages for the outbreak. my childhood had been vaccinated against measles, she wouldn't have become infected, but the children are not vaccinated. and that's the problem over how to shut the shadow. for 6 months, the situation has been the total written health facilities have now ran out of critical vaccines for young children reform, babe who 14,

which you don't have. it's like they pull you, which is giving us based fully 0. we don't have full you right now. we don't have the router via a the roots of us in so we don't have it. we don't have this mud if i've spent the last month visiting the hospital. the air force in been back. why the, when i have been coming here for the past 4 weeks, each time i come, the vaccine is not there and i have to go back home. to day 2, i came and there is no vaccine for my child. walk on calendar lankin. until recently, gone as economy was doing well, which led to world bank to list it as a middle income country. it therefore no longer qualifies for do not support in more sectors included in health. the government also have been keen to break away from either dependency, but with the current economy,

downton garner is struggling to mit is childhood vaccine. knees, public health advocacy. the government's use swallow is pride in seek international support. so his time for government re look at the policy. yes, that's fine. the fact that we want to go gonna be on index by the fog lower middle income country. there are inequalities within our country that needs to be addressed and to call for the necessary support that week on gunner from holiday bullying partners. gannon normally has a good record of vaccines uptick at our own 95 percent, according to the health ministry. but these vaccines sure to use, i have this serious consequences. iraq, children are nice, and there are certain disease conditions that they will not build antibodies against. and therefore, when they come across it, they are more did. we can read of free and the opposite of organism i will fill d and just spread encore, severe disease as an agent temperature solution. the government has sought help and

brought in some vaccines from neighboring countries, while it hopes to somehow allocate money for vaccines. but x v c, it is not enough in just a drop in the ocean the universal declaration of human rights states that everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms without distinction of any kind, such as race and color. but people with skin colors like mine, still face racial discrimination of all kinds. we'll soon talk more about racism and how to do with it. but let's 1st look at one example from right here in germany outfit. the air comes from senegal. he now lives in hamburg, where he works as a model. he says he's experienced repeated discrimination because of the color of his skin. like when he wanted to go to a club with friends, jamarcus acne passed and they always said no,

no go. that was brutal for me. i was actually, we didn't even have a chance. and even though we did it, it fell apart. when we had to show id cards, we had special id papers and they always said no reason in mind. he's also had problems with prejudice. in his modeling work to the slate of, of the, um, lay than the sequence. sorry. but unfortunately we don't have clients for you. i knew you. oh, you look great, but he's trying new york and i to lance and i say, hey, i'm here in germany. yes. i did my schooling here, owned and i want to be successful. he had to vanessa, and those were such blatant moments, realizing there were limits to my career and my future because of my parents, like the home things. i'm also, you know, that is fine. our video sees this as racist. exclusion and he's not the only one. german society may be diverse, but anyone with a different skin color or who wears

a headscarf is likely to experience racism sooner or later. that goes for berlin and the whole country. one researcher says that 90 percent of the respondents see racism in germany as a problem. those who belong to a minority are usually speaking from experience. numbers being offered themselves. racism is not a marginal phenomenon, but one that affects society as a whole. generally, schools, the police, labor and housing are some of the primary areas affected by racism. but help is available. there are dozens of resource centers in berlin alone that are publicly funded. reach out is just one of them offering psychological help. keep near to list us as a prominent, that's the main. it's always the case here that people are traumatized by racist attacks, which is why i'm finding and then the torment is yet, aren't they traumatized by racial hostility cop alicia? and that in turn causes physical problems,

the people can't sleep and they're constantly afraid. and the cement standing unc sat aid workers, politicians, and scientists all agree racism is not an individual problem. but a structural problem to, to for me on the issue of racism have now joined by emily reich. she's a renown social justice leader ortho, on experts on in tasks knowledge he inclusion on nondiscrimination. hello, emily. thanks a lot for your time now. we had in the reports that racism is a structural problem. is that really what it is? yes, as we racism is a systemic issue. so it have foresight to it. it has the individual perspective into, into individual dimension, the churchill dimension, the institutional dimension, and that history cool dimension. and the sum of all these dimensions make racism. so it would be wrong to say that there's only

a structural side to it because there can be as well and institutional and history cool. and it's in individuals tied to it. but generally what they do is that those sides feed each other. so any individual instance of racism, for example, somebody who is attacking someone on the street because of the color of this can, this is in printed or i think this is embedded in a wider system of the human isolation of black people. so the late nelson mandela, one said, no one is born hate and another person because of the color of his skin or his background. so how does racism come about? so what happens is that we, we take on a lot of messages, a lot of images that we learn as children to hierarchy people. we learn to hurricane people on the basis of their gender, on the pieces of their skin, color, their religion, their social class. and all of these messages convey an idea of superiority for

certain societal groups. and so for example, for the case of racism, black people have been portrayed as inferior as sub human. they have been portrayed us particularly criminal as particularly unintelligent. and all of those images are to be found in all the, the narrative, the stories, the, the images that we take on every day in literature on tv, in advertisement. and so that's how we learn from a very young age to internalize, or at least to yet to view blackness as something deficient as something negative. let's bring him down to a very personal level. how that's a black person like me, deal with racism when i'm faced with it. so i think what happens is that from a very young age there is a cognitive dissonance happening. so i can give you an example of when i was a child, a white child said to me, media,

you're black and the teacher came and said, no, no, i don't want to hear this. this is not kind any laser child like you. and so what we both internal life at the time was that blackness was interior that blackness in and of itself could be installed. and so could we did this in, as that happens in black people, is that we learn to reject when part of our identity or to consider that part of our identity as negative. and healing means that we need to be whole again, that we need to see that part of our identity is not something negative, but it's something that belongs to us. and that is that that has been constructed as inferior. so it means that the work that needs to be done is individual and collective healing. and that's not an easy task, but i think we society need to go through that in order to heal from a racist society. okay, i mean, i guess, i guess you're looking at the very broad picture of how you know structurally and institutionally and do society that it can be address. but everyday basis,

black people face it from time to time. if one is phased with it right now. what is based on your experience, the right way to deal with it? so there is no right or wrong re to do was it? there is something is that it creates rage. it creates frustration. it creates anger and a wet supremacy society tells black people that they are not allowed to feel the feelings that they're not allowed to be angry, that they're not allowed to be frustrated. and so that's what i'm not going to say . oh, you should because then you should not respond. you should ignore what's going on. i think it's important to keep the space as well to these negative feelings and to also respond to what is happening. but this is not in and of itself the right way to do it. i think each individual should know that their point of view, their perspective dare dare did the hurt that he's done to them is important. and that in fact, black like matter. so if a black person is being physically attacked on the street or burgundy attack attack

on the street or at work or wherever that might be, i think there's a right to read that issue and to stand up for one self. but this is not without consequences. you might be with the police there and you know, in the end you will pay for that. yeah. well that, that, that just gives me different images. i hope to never be in that situation. but before, let's, let's round it out by finding out that many people that have gone to that trauma of racism. what is the best way to help such people dealing with this? i think the best way to heal this is to find a community to find a community of people who make similar experiences. people with whom you can exchange those experiences and collectively as well healed from it's healing and that matter cannot be done individually because i feel like it's going to certainly reinforce the isolation that comes out of racism. so noticing that what had

happened to us is not because of us as individuals, but because of a wider system. and it's a collective issue that affects many different people that are get may also happen to be back. but it could be a black woman, a black man, a black, disabled person. he could be a black, rich person, a black, poor person. but knowing that this, this commonality is something that can be tremendously helpful in the healing process. and we are i normally it will take hours to talk about the issue like this, but to due to time will ended here and we are right. social justice leda off an expert on intersectionality inclusion and non discrimination. thanks a lot for your insights. thank you. so much ah man, how about we end with that smile. after all, earlier this week, we marked well, happiness day. so what makes you happy is that the sun love is and money may be. we

ask people across the continent. what makes me happy? why is the piece that relate to me and my family spot of my happiness and knowing that we had up we had in our country, which is peaceful, coming out to hell. even if it's not someone you know, helping them out in they are point of need that makes me satisfied happy. and if i sit down to my friends and my family members, georgia, my just they rated gym. i'm always happy. what makes me happy is my best friend, my dad, and my mommy and my sister, who makes me happy. think people happy makes me happy. my friend, what makes me happy actually is money because like i can use it to buy my stuffs, send to travel, the people they love out, my friends, my classmates may transit may family may ma'am in may. blackberry. yeah, that's what makes me happy though music makes me happy. and when i just he had the
