Im lu kwesa im lukwesa burak. Lets get more on the ongoing row over housing Asylum Seekers. The bbc has heard the first 50 people who will be housed on the Bibby Stockholm Barge later today, and up to 500 men will be transferred there while they await the outcome of their asylum applications. Campaigners have expressed concerns about the conditions aboard the barge but the government insists the that it is safe and help will help reduce the cost of placing migrants in hotels. Our reporter Steve Humphrey is in portland harbour. So far this morning we have not seen any activity around the barge which is just behind any activity around the barge which isjust behind me here in portland harbour. It has rapidly become part of the Harbour Scene very quickly. We are expecting that First Tranche of Asylum Seekers to go on board. As dan mentioned in his film the bbc has seen a letter from the home office to Asylum Seekers saying they are going to be moved onto the barge. It does say they will be free to come and go from the barge but are requested to sign in and out. It also lists the facilities on board. Things like a nurse, recreational space and english classes. Of course the barge has been massively controversial, even before it arrived. There was no consultation for local people and even for the local council, dorset council. We saw a whole series of protests and demonstrations. I was at some of those and you really had to be there to fully experience the passion and the emotion of people who thought that here in Portland Port was entirely the wrong place to house over 500 male Asylum Seekers, people worried about the impact on local services and also on the local tourist industry. The barge has been here sincejuly 18. We were here sincejuly18. We were expecting Asylum Seekers to go on board quite rapidly after that but there had been a whole series of delays caused by concerns about fire safety and other issues. The Fire Brigades Union described the barge as a potential death trap. The governments Immigration Minister robertjenrick has said i can absolutely assure you this is absolutely assure you this is absolutely assure you this is absolutely a safe facility. The government of course wants to get a move on because it wants to reduce the cost of housing Asylum Seekers in hotels, at the moment over 50,000 Asylum Seekers in hotels costing the taxpayer over £6 million a year. The scene is set today here in the sunshine on the dorset coast for the first Asylum Seekers to arrive, and then we are expecting more to follow in the coming days and weeks. From portland harbour, back to you. That was Steve Humphrey there. A bbc investigation into the care of the elderly in kenya has uncovered the mistreatment and neglect of vulnerable residents at a care home, near the countrys capital nairobi. Kenyans, like many others across the African Continent, are increasingly seeking outside support for their . Ageing relatives. Njeri mwangi reports. In the next 30 years, the african Elderly Population is projected to triple from 75 million to 235 million. Its growth will be faster than in any other region in the world. But what kind of care are our elderly actually receiving . Bbc africa eye began to hear worrying stories about mistreatment at one care home near nairobi, the thogoto care home for the aged. Local media filmed here in 2020. The manager, jane gaturu, presented an image of a safe haven. Every old person is your. Is yourgranny. This facility, which is home to around 50 residents, was set up by the womens guild of the local branch of the Presbyterian Church of east africa, but is managed independently. During our investigation, staff admitted to abuse at the home. Translation we beat him and thats what calms him down. Here is what happened to one resident who was found wandering outside the perimeter fence. Translation hit her on the buttocks. Our investigators found more evidence of neglect, with some residents forced to eat off the table with no support from carers. Translation if you dont get someone to feed you and with you shaking, will you sleep hungry . Translation if i dont get some help, i will sleep hungry. What can i do . One staff member alleges a lack of support at meal times has had deadly consequences. Translation many have died of hunger here they deny them lunch and dinner or because they dont make time to come and feed them. We also found evidence of medical conditions being left untreated. This elderly man, who we are calling mwangi, is suffering with a skin problem. Translation im feeling pain, too much, too much. Im feeling like im burning. But despite his condition, mwangi says he is not getting the care he needs. And after weeks without treatment, he tells our reporter he is still in pain. Translation it is so painful, | especially when i bend like this. Translation you really need to go to hospital. I when you talk to jane about it, what does she say . She keeps promising that there are people coming, but they never come. We put the allegations to the manager of the home, jane gaturu, who told us that the home always observes the rule of law and does not condone any form of brutality towards residents. She said those who struggle to eat are given priority assistance, and any allegations that medical condition is not provided are lies and malice. We also showed some of our undercover recordings to the kenyan governments Principal Secretary responsible for social protection. We are going to do spot checks on various private homes and see as to whether they meet the standards that they should be having. Over a month after we first spoke to him, mwangi, the man with the skin condition, did get treated in hospital with help from his family. Translation look at my skin. Its better some of the stories we had were shocking. We heard were shocking. And whilst good Care Facilities do exist in kenya, are there many other elderly people suffering silently in homes where there is neither care nor love . Njeri mwangi, bbc news, nairobi. You can find the full film betrayed elderly care exposed on the bbc Africa Youtube channel. And a warning that there is some upsetting footage in that film. One of the worlds biggest Arts Festivals in under way in scotland. But alongside the International Acts appearing at the Edinburgh Fringe are fears that the future of one of the festivals largest Venue Operators could be at risk. Courtney bembridge is in edinburgh for us now. Hello. Hello, we are here at the worlds the hello. Hello, we are here at the worlds the largest hello. Hello, we are here at the worlds the largest arts hello. Hello, we are here at thej worlds the largest arts festival, 3500 shows, hundreds of venues, University Classrooms have been turned into venues, anywhere you can fit a microphone and some chairs is currently being used as a venue in edinburgh. There are performers from all over the world, about 2 Million People attend every year. This of course goes for the whole month but it has Just Launched on the weekend. We are here at one of the major venues known as the big four. There are lots of shows throughout the day. It looks a little bit quiet at the moment but trust me later this evening this place will be heaving with crowds and many of them have come from all over the world, too, because this is of course one of those festivals that can launch the career, as we have seen, many people above come here only play to one person and then go on to find fame. This is a make or break moment for many performers. You have got dance, theatre, there is comedy, there is magic, there is a robot magician, there is adults dressed as pigeons, there is adults dressed as pigeons, there is adults dressed as pigeons, there is drag shows, basically anything you can think up its being done at fringe. But it isnt all a sunny situation. The arts sector has taken a lot of hits in terms of covid and also limiting funding, and we heard today from one of the big four, one of the big venue produces here, assembly. They have hit some financial trouble because they are owed money by another festival in coventry, £1. 5 million, thats caused a lot of grief. They are saying that potentially next year they may not be able to be here unless they are able to secure some more funding. I spoke earlier to the Artistic Director at assembly William Burdett coutts. Lets listen to what he said. If you talk to any of the venues here that run any of the major venues in edinburgh it is a very thin layer of ice Holding Things together at the moment. The cost base with increasing costs, inflation, Accommodation Costs have gone absolutely mad in edinburgh. So Ticket Prices cant keep pace with the increased costs. It makes the whole thing fundamentally really on the knife edge at the moment. I mean, in terms of our situation, we have obviously been trying to get money out of coventry and also the department for culture, media and sport. The latter have been slightly disingenuous and theyre given the £7 million grant to the Fringe Society implying it is coming to us but it doesnt. The Fringe Macro Society as a central Coordinating Body that does ticketing and a brochure doesnt put money back into the event. That is something that has to be addressed. But the event. That is something that has to be addressed. Has to be addressed. But lots of eole has to be addressed. But lots of peeple have has to be addressed. But lots of people have come, has to be addressed. But lots of people have come, as has to be addressed. But lots of people have come, as i has to be addressed. But lots of people have come, as i said, i has to be addressed. But lots of. People have come, as i said, from around the world, but also edinburgh locals. I have tea with me, this is mark and charlie. Hello, charlie, having a good day . Mark and charlie.
