00:06:09
but the client to comment on the number of
government soldiers killed in the attack

00:06:14
. Somali troops seized the else Saleen
base from al Shabaab Ogust 6th it

00:06:21
was one of 4 bases in lower shot by late
region recaptured following an offensive

00:06:27
by the Somali military.

00:06:35
Nigerian Labor activists accuse the
government of not being serious about

00:06:41
increasing the minimum wage after recent
talks ended unsuccessfully now they're

00:06:46
threatening to strike Cica or do
reports from Enugu. Prepare for

00:06:53
a nationwide strike that's the latest
message from Nigeria's trade union side

00:06:59
organization and joint national public
service negotiating Council to public

00:07:05
workers and civil servants the call
comes after talks between the federal

00:07:10
government and labor groups ended in

00:07:12
a deadlock last week neither party could
come to an agreement on salary adjustment

00:07:17
issues surrounding

00:07:19
a new minimum wage increase that
President Haris signed into law in April

00:07:26
the law mandates that the lowest level
of employees earning $18000.00 Ira

00:07:30
a month about $50.00 should now be paid

00:07:34
a $30000.00 Nairo salary or $83.00 it's

00:07:38
a 67 percent raise that would benefit
workers such as cleaners receptionists

00:07:44
security guards and gardeners it applies
to the private and public sector with

00:07:49
a few exemptions like smaller businesses
but less than $25.00 workers on the

00:07:54
payroll but members of the Nigeria labor
Congress and Trade Union Congress of

00:07:59
Nigeria say the government is not serious
about putting the law into action

00:08:05
a statement from the trade union side
group or to us read to us has given the

00:08:11
government enough time to come to terms
with workers' demands but it appears that

00:08:17
the only language necessary
for government to act is

00:08:20
a strike. Nigerian current affairs
commentator at Denny Qunu suggested that

00:08:27
President Hu Hari's approval of
the new wage could have just been

00:08:30
a political maneuver since April you would
have expected government works without

00:08:34
action verse strongly that when the
discussions were at its highest with

00:08:41
a save the government give it to the whole
just for political reasons and the fact

00:08:46
that there needs to be some form of
consolation going into the general elections

00:08:50
that we had

00:08:50
a 3rd breach on the 3rd of the Syria he
went on to criticize what appears to be

00:08:55
insincerity from the government that is
cut terroristic of this administration so

00:09:00
more and less pary very salient issues
when you deal with the people that are

00:09:07
you know more or less sealed the soil of
the nation I thank you should address that

00:09:12
issue is very important is poverty is on
the rise in Nigeria numerous reports from

00:09:18
local and international organizations show
that the gap between the rich and the

00:09:22
poor is widening the country is still
struggling to bounce back from one of the

00:09:28
worst recessions to hit in 30 years the
nearly 11.5 percent inflation rate is why

00:09:34
some workers say this wage increase may
not actually be as good as it sounds

00:09:40
a logo on

00:09:41
a lawyer and member of the Chartered
Institute of Personnel Management explained

00:09:46
a convert that's of dollars you'd be amazed
at 7 or what it was to tell them Level

00:09:52
one is horse race 2000 liar he also
said that since the Nigerian government

00:09:57
recently approved

00:09:58
a $5500000000.00 wire allocation nearly
$15000000.00 for members of the Senate to

00:10:05
purchase luxury cars then it should be able
to pay the new minimum wage so this is

00:10:11
a macho prioritize and the government
is the largest employer in Nigeria so

00:10:16
millions of people in the country are
paying close attention to this this weekend

00:10:21
the labor many. Mr Christian good case
spoken and to address misinformation about

00:10:26
the implementation of the pay raise he said
Jr federal workers have begun receiving

00:10:32
any payment but the real issue is the
consequential salary adjustment for upper

00:10:37
level workers for now negotiations have
been stalled with no set date for the next

00:10:43
round of talks Chika for

00:10:47
a news Nigeria. Used

00:10:55
tear gas to break up the small protests in

a hand-written marriage proposal and the
ring box on twine was excitedly accepting

00:17:27
but she never saw her American boyfriend
alive again an investigation has been

00:17:32
launched into what went wrong.

00:17:42
Trying to find ways to contain overfishing
in its largest body of water lake mylar

00:17:48
we the 3rd largest lake in Africa has long
been the economic hub for thousands of

00:17:54
fishing communities along the lake for
Ontario However locals say unsustainable

00:18:01
fishing for actresses and climate change
have led to dwindling catches forcing some

00:18:06
fisherman to look for alternatives to
make machine or reports from the town of

00:18:12
money go.

00:18:20
Each afternoon and evening at

00:18:22
a beach in the. Waiting for the war from
fishermen but him in November returned

00:18:29
home empty handed because of the increasing
scarcity of fish in daily. Is one of

00:18:36
the fishermen It was

00:18:38
a whale oil. Under. Water he
says for example. Those of

00:18:45
us we went into the lake
for fishing have made

00:18:48
a huge loss we have just come with the fish
which are going to feel 25 liter pails

00:18:53
which was only 2000 a month. This is

00:18:58
a huge loss for some fishermen say the
fish I've been depleted because of climate

00:19:04
change pointed to the increase of fishing
vessels on the lake resulting in

00:19:10
a stiff competition for the
church their scarcity has

00:19:13
a force of the fishermen to double the
price so to do the trade as you do.

00:19:24
She says when ever they
casual fish. At 70000. But if

00:19:31
we badly need it it goes
at risk to $5000.00

00:19:34
a month. To trade as this mix as mix
some losses making us fail to feed our

00:19:41
families. Has also forced

00:19:46
a seasoned traders out
of business. That Joseph

00:19:53
who is a live stock farmer now
more than 1000000. We might have

00:19:59
a minority he says it's like I'm carrying
2 belts with one stone now I use the Dan

00:20:05
for making opposite my new when I have run
out of Q one gorge and sell their meat

00:20:12
Meanwhile the government is trying to
sensitize communities on regulations designed

00:20:19
to reduce over fishing these include some
fishing needs and it 2 months annual by

00:20:25
unknown fishing in their lake from
November 1 to disinvite it away and never.

00:20:32
Is the district official is. We have
this video which we call. Where

00:20:39
se. Are prohibited this is
actually the time when if

00:20:46
the breach saw it's like we are trying to
give some time to finish to free to breed

00:20:53
and also grow excited communities are
formed committees to help reinforce their

00:20:58
regulation in some areas they villagers
of set up by laws which have instant

00:21:05
abilities to those violating their regulations
no one when you hear he is the head

00:21:10
mind form I would do very much.
Of what he says one of the

00:21:17
pain is we've been fishing lives of those
who violated the by laws we do this to

00:21:23
protect our environment because it's our
children who will suffer in the future

00:21:28
should we allow but efficient practices
to continue in addition their communities

00:21:34
are lobbying the government to extend the
day and you're too much fishing to 5

00:21:40
miles in hopes that the fish population
will grow. Can I see enough of you in use

00:21:47
among which. Ghana is famous for its

00:21:54
cocoa the main ingredient in chocolate it
supplies about 20. Center of the world to

00:21:59
market this year the Government announced
plans to raise cocoa incomes but cocoa

00:22:04
been farms are being destroyed with or
without the farmers consent as their

00:22:09
landlords and their leases early opting

done in my lifetime has gone forever and
it's like I'm alive back I'm dead Ghana's

00:23:27
cocoa industry is regulated by

00:23:29
a government body that says the price the
growers in from their beings earlier this

00:23:34

00:23:35
a $400.00 living income differential Fe
per ton of cocoa being sold on the market

00:23:41
with the aim of improving livelihoods for
farmers the president of the consumer and

00:23:46
Families Association not a body a band
for blotting bones to say is ensuring

00:23:51
a sustainable future for gallons cocoa
farmers means protecting the crop which they

00:23:56
rely this is

00:23:57
a serious challenge and it's something
that we have been fighting for for so long

00:24:02
but only seems government has put in rocks
and is yes because government is not all

00:24:05
that serious about this issue
farmers are losing their land is

00:24:10
a major problem garners cocoa regulator
Ses and often the ownership structure of

00:24:15
land is the issue where farmers leased land
from chiefs who later take it back when

00:24:20
enticed by other developments. Well the
regulatory agency works with chiefs to

00:24:25
combat the practice does not have the
right to tell land owners what to do with

00:24:30
their property officials say it offers legal
representation to farmers to interests

events but when you have Rod Laver and

been an excitement that people say I mean

00:43:15
this is the 2nd we go for camping and I
would tend to stay there all to we leave

00:43:21
our all the 6 go for November
so is this actually going to be

00:43:25
a very long come to school well under the

to fight for shirts which is our walk of
their own to stand also about. Now you

00:44:04
a team that's nice for people on from 2000
on the one upwards that's the actuarial

00:44:11
for you to be called between them on that
so in our case some of the players that

00:44:17
played for on the 28 you call us on that
team because in that competition I truly

00:44:23
feel that the youngest set of players even
for you on the trajectory I did look up

00:44:27
on the 18th and this to punish to win the
bronze gold for the female college is

00:44:33

participate in that national scope and issue

00:44:52
recalled I was one because I also took
the one to come off to be finished

00:44:59
with this silver medal so this is the
town will be going there but at that time

00:45:05
that we went for the competition it was
not just the lympics part so what Mel.

00:45:11
Looking for course on truck trees around
the world this is our tech time to up here

00:45:17

who have been helped out. That we're
