Id return to venezuela. To visit friends and i dont think id ever go back there to live you know when i lived there again i dont know so im not sure. Bearing witness global news that matters. Made for mines. The African Union is working hard to prevent the spread of the corona virus as for official say after each of confirmed the 1st case of the disease we look at the Economic Impact the outbreak is already having. Saving kenyas ancient rain forest instead of burning wood harnessing the power to cook. And how a network of activists is taking on we tell john adams on the internet attempt to improve conditions for workers. As well and lets do business it was only a matter of time 19 all the coronavirus has read its ugly head in africa egypt confirming the 1st case on friday since then the African Union has assured the continent its working hard to ensure the disease doesnt get any further but its already impacting business. Since the outbreak of coronavirus in egypt the southern algerian has he messaoud airport has set up medical screening checkpoints its a destination for employees in the countrys oil industry authorities fear the virus could begin to spread in africa. I think. For the for the people because we have with china. China is the most important trade partner for many african countries as well as a buyer of the continents Natural Resources and when it comes to resource dependent countries just take angola well over 60 percent of net exports are to china its a similar story for the likes of the republic of congo and zambia exports to other countries are suffering to african economies are hugely dependent on global Commodity Prices which have plummeted in the wake of declining chinese demand. Oil has tumbled since the start of the outbreak to vital resources for many subsaharan economies African Airlines as well are feeling the effects many have cancelled flights to china only Ethiopian Airlines are still servicing the country and thats just to name a few examples china is the Growth Engine of africa so the corona Virus Outbreak will likely cause some economic harm. Lets go over to joy during beera whos in nairobi for us joy tell us how much africa is hurting economically for these coronavirus. Band to put it into perspective there are about 10000 chinese firms in different african countries and thats about a 1000000 chinese nationals who operate in different african countries on the continent and in return we also have about 80000. 00 African Students in china and theres a lot of business that crisscrosses these 2 countries still many of these small medium and large scale Business Owners who have to be a manufacturing in china also being affected and were also seeing the bigger firms as well that do have chinese nationals who work for them also having their businesses affected by this because most of the airlines have canceled or suspended most of the flights to and from china and this has been a large we have affected Business Operations in different parts of the african continent and in different sectors as well i think clearly the Airline Sector of course which we for ready mentioned. We know africas ties with china are so close what what i dont understand is how how they can only be one case so far. Well the egyptian case is one iraqis but hopefully the authorities in egypt are able to contain it but the advantage also is the fact that when the virus broke out it was just at a time where china was winding up its new years holiday and saw it was very easy for the chinese authorities to you know push the holiday forward just to try and contain the virus and before most of the travelers could fly to the continent and then were also seeing that the Chinese Government as well is working closely with more african countries that are on higher lot because they had 10 african countries including a kenya as well as zambia and the democratic republic of congo among other things that are on high alert for this so china ease contributing to the detecting equipment for the coronavirus and we are seeing most of the tests being done being taken either to china or to south africa and weve also seen a lot of passengers being current deemed at the point of entry that includes everyone else and border areas around the african continent so that could explain why d its just one case briefly just lastly joy africas been stepping up measures to prevent the disease from spreading but this isnt the only outbreak africa is dealing with of course. Its not but this being the only case that makes it a little bit easier that that is the one case in egypt but were also seeing that the has been a recurrent outbreak of the fall of virus in the democratic republic of congo the World Health Organization has put the number at over 2000 deaths over the last few years and weve also seen the last of that has broken out in nigeria which is africas most populous country with over 400 cases and 17 deaths so really africa is on high alert when it comes to preventing all of these viruses but it you cant tell really just how successful this is going to be considering whats still africas Health Systems very vulnerable to almost of these outbreaks trattoria there are thank you very much. 50 percent of patients sounds excessive but thats this years goal in zimbabwe its the 1st inflation outlook since the government stopped publishing and you will die last june the Central Bank Says the main task is to stabilize inflation which they did 521 percent last year and to steady the Exchange Rate it wants to print more local currency and limit the use of foreign ones somalis struggling through its worst economic crisis in a decade.

Forest in kenya is beautiful i was there just recently its a remnant of the huge Central African rain forest that one stretched across the belly of the continent but its getting smaller and smaller every year some communities depend on it for their livelihoods. Kaka maker forest is kenyas only tropical rain forest and its threatened by deforestation some 200000. 00 people in the area depend on its wood for fuel and if the farce just to be saved alternatives are needed around 80 percent of africans use wood for cooking but Margaret Odhiambo has switched to a solar cooker it uses direct sunlight to heat the food. I mean not to when i was given the solar cooker i didnt use it for a week i didnt think it will work one day i took bananas and one of them in the cooker and to my surprise they were well cooked. This solar cooker was designed far away in finland dozens of devices financed by private donations have been sent to the cocher maker region the food cooks on its own and Margaret Odhiambo doesnt need to gather firewood giving her more time for other things some Health Problems have improved to. Use it i have used firewood for cooking for very long time there are times when my eyes would star itching from the smoke it was bad but that has now disappeared. Kenyas tried to ban firewood collection but with little success because poor people often have no other choice a few Solar Cookers wont save the copper make a forest but as viable alternatives to burning wood they offer some hope for the forests future.
