Are missing school because many ration activists want the government to cut taxes on expensive 7 and Hygiene Products. The unclear richardson, thank you so much for joining us. Thousands of flood victims have been buried in mass graves today in the libyan city of darren. A bunch of the city was swept away after torrential rain, caused to danced and burst within officials born that the death toll could reach up to 20000 u. N said many of the deaths could have been avoided if libya had had a functioning, whether agency that could have issues, alerts, a child pooled from the mud and rubble. All thats left in this part of dana, the other one the her father survives the flood. So but his helpless as his daughters body is recovered. 5 sins of people have been killed and citizens more are still missing. As teams search the wreckage for bodies this is a disaster. My sister, when for children or grandchildren, a total of 11 people in disaster in every sense of the word. My nephew, my people, my family, the 10s of thousands of people and dana, and surrounding areas of being left without homes, food, clean water or medicine. And anger is mounting years of mismanagement, had left the cities infrastructure crumbling the we want to do a story, it is 4 weeks know years that the dumb had corrected it and needed maintenance. We said that nobody to listen to us. And now the whole of, during the slide it to the situation in the nearby tentative sousa is similarly grim, more than a decade of conflict. And no Central Government have left much of libbys infrastructure, neglected with the sole Mountain Road that links it to the town of sha hot collapse and the floods isnt. Of course, you know what they should send bill dozers all about the general Electricity Company must intervene. We have been without electricity since saturday. We dont, but the Water Company has to get involved. They have to come to fix the drain pipe. So, but it was some aid and folded and rescue teams have arrived in libya, but with the country divided on the roads washed away. International help is struggling to reach those in need. Nothing is working here. No national authorities, nothing. Have a look and do something about it. Were experiencing a great injustice to. I dont know how many survivors have been left to dig through the mud and debbie themselves looking for their loved ones. The search for bodies as also moved out to sea for many of those and still missing were washed away. Realize are from parents are national, gave us this update on the situation. Right now the situation on the ground is for perfect and the bodies are everywhere. Theyre trying to count the families and the missing people. Right now, there is no concrete numbers of the missing or the people who lost their lives. So our, our partners and ourselves care are trying to find a trying to assess the situation as much as much as possible and look for Immediate Release and support this can attempt to kind of do it for the area victims. And for the survivors are right now, what are the Biggest Challenges that you are facing and getting a to people the Biggest Challenges would be that the storm destructive all the roads to play to, to, to that area of the province of locked the supply is the supply chain, special for food and medication. Its very difficult to reach, and one of them was a significant one is filter, where families were there is like more than 20000 families who have been displaced from their homes. This is more than 50000 people who are right now sheltered in schools, and they will be evacuated a few days of with no shelter and no place to go. Who are missing the basic needs like clothes, food in their life, the wedding with no place to go. And then on top of that, you have bodies piling up everywhere. Im pulled from the bubble. Also washington from c. With that in mind. How concerned are you about the possible outbreak of disease there . This is very no, thats a loved with the scale can because of the aftermath, the, with the, with water born diseases. Right now, there is no concrete reports of, of, of this. We have no further information, but we just saw for the best. Yeah. And looking ahead, how difficult you think it is going to be for libya and for the People Living in the affected areas to recover from this disaster. Is there any kind of timeline in mind theres a range from such a disaster will take months even years because of those people and theyre, theyve not they, theyve not lose like one Family Member or 2 days old. And some entire families were wiped out entirely. So theres a survivors, its a total of this would take a while to recover from. This is why they care is focusing on a, a, in a very extensive psycho social support for the victims, families and the survivors of this event. And thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us on data units that isnt remote lives or from care international. Joining us today from aaa, vitale. And i wonder if we have to do that is under a state of emergency. After a Record Number of migrants arrived within a 24 hour period, many of them have now been transferred to the mainland, but thousands remain in need of assistance. The migrants arrive on small boats from north africa with some dying on the journey, and to during rescue missions. More than a 100 boats packed, which was more than 6 and a half 1000 people in just over 24 hours. A number of vials, the small islands, permanent population numbers, this attacks and the coast guards capacity to end to set smugglers wrestles and pushing and tell you in 5 minutes to georgia, maloneys pledge to end the regular emigration to the test. A, with such a politically charged issue, the human aspect across mediterranean migration can be easily overshadowed. Many has spent thousands of years for the perilous journey across the water. But when these human beings, many of whom are still in the teens, arriving near it, they find themselves reduced to a mess to, to stick. They become numbers to be shuffled around by bureaucrats. They become the light is probably going to be squabbled either by politicians. While those who are on the ground, those carrying for these, we have a young travelers do the best they can to ease the situation. We try to get home for. Ready give them maybe kelly. Ringback you got a there, we try to give that mean formation and choose the closer and then they go toward the. Busy land producer is the southern most parts of it today, and the long standing flash point in the discussion of the migration, the underwater release agencies do the utmost infrastructure on such a small island is simply unable to cope when a valuable number serge, we are more or less with the number we had in 2016, which was an exception for rivals that had insured. What seems to be a big difference. Now we do have a government more. We can get more. Im di, migration gemini, has now suspended a voluntary deal to take in my goods landing and it today, and fonts announced tough a new measures aimed at stopping migrants coming over the italian border. These approaches could well be emulated by other northern countries. Many of the new arrivals height, this is the start of new and back to life for them in europe, pushing brussels with under a year until the parliamentary elections. It could mean the thought of yet another political stand of the migration or i spoke earlier to the director of the European Council on refugees and exiles, catherine willard, and i asked her why so many people are arriving now . It is because of the situation in the countries of origin of the people arriving wherever seeing increased situations of persecution in security for j. Lets say that is leading people to leave for also the situation in the countries of trends. Lets say with previously people might have been able to stay working live in dignity in a country like shanicea or libya. And that has become increasingly difficult with the rise, for instance of races to tax. And she needs here, which is a propelling people to try to move on to go to europe. So its a combination of reasons that leads to the numbers of people arriving and which none the less remain manageable, should that be a collective european response, which is what we need now to deal with the agent situation and non producer. Yeah, id like to ask you more about that. It appears that lamp is itself is, is beyond his capacity to help these people. Um, but we see germany and france tightening their borders. Germanys thing is suspending, accepting migrants arriving on italian shores. Why have we seen that change of mind . So there is ongoing political debates and hostility towards assigned them seek is and refugees, and many countries of europe. Theres also the perception insights and countries that doing more than other countries. And whereas in front and what is always needed is a collective response. The actual numbers of people are rising all manageable, but their only manageable level. The countries within the European Union worked together so that the situation of a to lee is not to introduce responsibility to deny access to tyrant tre of to prevent people memorizing that would be illegal on the positive. It actually saves people the wrong financially that should then be solidarity with actually in other countries supporting the offering relocation, for instance, for people who arrive initially providing assistance for people who will receive perception and apply for sign them. And that to me is a question of geography of to rule the country is that the external quote is all likely to receive people because thats the point at which they enter the you. And its still the case that the majority of those arriving in a you do have a International Protection needs. Although we often hit the opposite. Actually, if we looked at the figures from last year, the protection, right . The percentage of people who receive a protection status, who are recognized as a nathan of International Protection is very costly. So its not a question of saying that these are not refugees. These are people who dont need protection, so must be prevented from arriving. Yeah, so in your view, what has happened to this European Solidarity . Im just this week we saw the president of the european commission, or so funder line calling for you, unity on migration. But this seems to be an example of it faltering or so the is the ongoing situation of work to the rules in general. And we see the rules that are a, robert, im favorable actually to the countries of external boat because the country is responsible for many assign them applications, all the countries where people arrive. So in that sense actually for front. So germany, they benefit from the rules because its more likely the to, to legal grace is responsible for people because thats the 1st country where they arrive. So thats one issue is we would argue the unfairness of the rules and generals of the 2nd issue is then the question of what to do in the situation of crisis. And in that situation, it becomes highly time some politicized. In a situation like this arrival of 7000 people on the small island of the coast, eventually its essential that countries step in and start criticizing the talking to me. And in many cases, these are people who has been rescued at sea and who its really and in respect to this International Obligation since rescued or has allowed to be this about that. So the alternative to other countries supporting it to lee unfortunately would be that its really refuses to allow rescued people to enter or refuses to rescue people on either of which would lead to suffering including additional death. Yes. Well, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us on top of your names. That is catherine willer, director of the working council on refugees, and also i appreciate your time. Thank you. We could bring you up to speed. Now, with some other world News Headlines at this hour, the kremlin says, russian president Vladimir Putin has accepted an invitation to visit north korea. The invitation was extended by north korean leader, kim jong. And after he met with bruton and russias far east, no date has been announced for the visit. The rocco has been shaken by after shocks disrupting the search for victims. After last fridays earthquake, they killed some 3000 people. More soldiers and aid workers are making their way to remote rural areas where entire villages were levels. Authorities are working to reopen, damaged, and blocked roads. But hopes of finding survivors are fighting. The earth has crossed 6 of 9 so called a planetary boundaries that measure safe limits of conditions that are necessary to support human life. As according to a new study, co led by the head of the constant institute for Climate Impact research, the scientist issued a stark warning on deforestation and pollution and said reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions is not enough. And the worlds 1st container ship running on green, methanol has been christened by new chief or so the funder lion. She called the ship a pioneer for the future at the ceremony and copenhagen, denmark, methanol fuel is produced using green energy, making a carpet neutral. Now to the west african country of gonna where active as are fighting to reduce the cost of an a central item sanitary pads. Going to have some of the most expensive womens Hygiene Products in africa. And the cost is causing period poverty, with girls missing out on school during ministration to these isaac collective reports. There should be a girl sitting on this seats in class, but shes not at school today because shes got happier. Especially the honey be knows exactly what thats like. She often misses lessons during hip here its 2. Shes one of many goals and gonna, whos education is damage to because if somebody cannot afford to send the trip pads, this is linda easy because when im numerous, the cycle never ends on had the lowest. You gave me that youre going by because youre taking care of some of my other brothers. And so please and even do use some of the money to buy some steps to put 5. So my friend doesnt have them to just buy 2 of them because of that, sometimes i dont even come to the recent reports by United NationsChildrens Fund unicef showed thats nearly all gills. Living in Rural Communities in ghana means 20 percent of the schooling because of this period, poverty. They know whats the, im missing . Its been maybe oh awesome. Ill also have my fits up from school. And my uncle usually sits in the classroom. Emily, and im not the, if i come out of them are they have is why do give me maybe sometimes stop some of the evening, please me, maybe drunk or credits. And so i have to take a look at active is how formed goals club to talk about pubes and show them reusable paths. They give these paths to the goals for free without a this was a good to leave us. If they can do, what do you this means that we applied for 3 years. Then that means that the mental it a button to send it to the padded we watch will be reduced. If part of disposable is furniture pat schools are can use to yours. For many families, thats a whole these the minimum wage, most of the price is taxes. The energy will actually eat governor has been leading the push to best. We have the government to cut to boost taxes. A mess version should not be something that keeps a deal out of school. And so the government as a month off is the need to really cost to the detox enforced on sandwiches to death and reduce this that so that the rad deal can be able to afford the seller trip part to keep them in school. And towards the realization of the is did you core for that is the goal for is a government e to provide Inclusive Education for boys and goes back to 5th texas remain because spots imported administers once make an exception. Honda behooves their useable pods. She goes from the goes club means the taxes will no longer endanger her plan and become its j o n s. And shell come to school, all of us who helped me to achieve the g. And i want to come to school always to learn has and always have a great position in the class she and have friend go home equipped to bypass the taxes per page to pursue the education every day of the month of more on this important issue. Im very pleased to welcome off what im astray, senior gender specialist with you and women, west africa. Joining us today from beginning and capital across um to start us off. Can you tell us more about why these products are so expensive and gone us . Us ok, thank you for having me on your program. Im. I think it has to do with how the paths are categorized. Unimportant. I think theres only one company if im wrong that took you said 5 digit pads. Kyla, the restaurant imported can be classified as finished products, and so the attract due to sweet as to the case because it seemed that as a finished product. And actually this product added. So do you have about 3 different tactics . This one of them picking up to about 40 percent of the initial cost of a 22. 00 pads. So when they come together they have very expensive. So for example, you buy a pod for 50, gather cd. So so i think because its got to be perfect for that for the tax on the uh, 40 percent tax that is quite high. Um, and as we heard in the report, girls and gone are missing out on about 20 percent of their schooling just because they cant afford santa tre products. And can you tell us what kind of impact that has on a womans life when i change it, its something that you can reach all kind of imagine. I mean, because it comes once a month and some people even go up to 7 days each stays in the love. Uh, denise. So maybe 2 or 3 days at the fall, stop period. Yeah, we are not able to get uh, directly shipped. Uh, it has to fall and so what if i choose take care of yourself . They may see a young girl or youre in school, it means maybe once every week or 2 or 3 parts of it must be a how to screw. And if you put all that to give out, you can imagine how many b c out of school for the whole 10 or for the whole year. And so guess id be missing out on a gift thatd be so specially gills from for families who cant afford to buy these furniture where most of the people probably use close to the traditional ones. But then again, at the mean house replications, youre probably going to saw your surface fully kind of even discourage you. Feel free to say that ive seen that patients with at that time your teeth pads. We also have issues to do with sudden patient and schools for true was water and all of that. Yeah, im important to keep in mind that of course were talking about in more than half of an overall population being affected by this at some point in their life. I would ask you what, what do you think needs to be done to change this . As we need lots of indications in the long grass and it may be education to get to the police in the case to get to those who make these decisions about how it gets very defensive. If fairly kids, california young kills some women that to get access to the suffering, the piece about also to consider the fact that theres a 4 country here as well. But its supposed to be me the income, but basic needs. One of the poor countries in the world, and if you need to work on the application is going to take some time thats just critical for them to listen to dispatch the collect issue. The fix, the life of women that go into deal with it at the cleanings and the short sale. Maybe i dont know that a number for Civil Society groups ive been working to get suddenly passed close in schools. The hope of making up top 3 level for family to use and to able to come to school and get supposed to be in school. So they have Different Things that we need to do education as provide the same time providing that guess what they need to use from the periods. Well, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us about this this effort and start with you and women west africa. Any thanks. Thank you very much for asking me.
