substances fueling, the crisis is a cheap and dangerous drug, known as colorado or portals, which is rapidly gaining popularity among young people. dw is funny for sure. reports from lagos getting high is quite easy in this neighborhood. illegals, drugs are sold on almost every street corner here, especially in places popular with young people. we are filming with a hidden camera. hood dealers offer various illegal drops. loud is a relatively expensive strain of money. one of the small back, you know, goes for 25000 ira or 15 euros. also for sale calls, a synthetic drug that makes the effects of marijuana. it's sold in smaller sizes and these much cheaper. so how much is one back to? 1000. that's $0.50. why is this different the

strong charge? what he can not tell our team. what exactly it's made off cost is a drop cocktail that's sliced with chemicals and the make up varies with every batch. the consequences on predictable you off the si size like this one, right, or warning about the use or sale of illegal drugs. but the size actually point to a much bigger problem that about 14000000 that curious to i'll go with drug addiction and be those under 25 particularly as risk. the 14000000 people. that's the government's estimates. many experts think the true number is much higher. now do you in a story, do you say the working hard to craig down on the sale of synthetic drugs like call us. but a drug dealer will name turn to says all for a these are often involved in the business. the police a benefit from us because every friday we, they give them one

a 5000 that the big guy says will. so that it would disturb us doing this as it cuts deep into his profits at the end of an average month. he's left his some 100 euros. every client counts. he says, regardless of their h, i c bad buds. this is over. you're going to advertise any more drugs to make phone calls and other synthetic drugs have become increasingly popular among nat geo. yes . you there being glamorize on social media and even in professional music videos. a new one admitted to using drugs on camera, but everyone had an explanation why people do some thinking because a lot of lands, family privilege or something because of depression. one is lack of better care to joshua job in the country. tv. that is hungry. we sure

footage of the street dealers to a drug calling center. he quickly notices once thing that younger people, the iron watches, and they said to, that'd be this beautiful guy, is who my uncle usually my brother use it with white guy and then they try and they try and they get to know not. and then because more progress and then it gets younger and younger. duplicate a d, g has been working to help that you ins, beach drug addiction for 3 decades. he's seen a lot, he says. but see if that drugs like carlos posing you much greatest wrecked menu item to get with guys out and heavy mentors. yeah. fed the vital little guns, the kidneys believe that the and also if you have it's the brain, it takes what you have really to be human, isn't doing that has a 6 year old son of his own and says he would stop dealing drugs in a 2nd. if you could find another way of paying his school fee any,

but i learn not to do the title is. that's the job in the town. that's like going to job business the to feed. my family is my siblings. i'm one chide. so for now turn to will keep sending drugs and i called and perpetuate the risk that the julius next generation which his own son is a part of becoming trapped in a dangerous cycle of drug abuse. 2 sources who work within nigeria is drug law enforcement agency, n d l e a. have told d w that they are not aware of police taking blogs. they also said they left the basic equipment and human resources to carry out more rates against drug networks. i'd like to now welcome dr. duncan daisy who runs the compassionate care recovery initiative a rehabilitation center in lagos for substance abusers. you saw him briefly in

funnies report and he has a lot more to share. welcome, dr. david, easy. thank you very much, bye. as somebody who's treated substance abuse patients for over 3 decades, i wonder how you characterize either the frequency or severity of the drug abuse you've seen in the last 5 years. i'm gonna send it to you that would be most writes in most everybody's page or the prep is it does or what i c m now is almost academically. alcorda is of the people you see are the numbers that increases the java engines. and for me is defined by the age of use is coming down. we used to see them in their upwards, in 8 years now the gate to see them. it was not about 10 years old. so that's for me is friday. and that's the dimension of the moment now we've, i've said who are these drug addicts you've been treating?

what's the, the demographic? and what did they tell you about why they fell into this destructive cycle? um, this is the, the, the new sub. and that was, that was james 5916 slot. i can tell you that. we'll see that we vote for this center that i run or we try to do my cabinet. people would like to see where, so you know that drug use our interest to get them base, that user resting, walk as well. beach at work. there's the obvious. and the problem is, is this guy, i'm professional, is i was right, i walk as i, but i can tell you from what i've seen. that'd be a huge impact that was done by you're just like about 25 to 59 on my fat. and if your manual positive that'd be equal, use is coming down. and then so now i can see that it writes red ad distribution in the demography of people we see on some of the things they said to me. i think that that particular to each person so long as they with the family background,

somebody let's say like on the search as a farm, families are foreigners. i probably do some far. some of them is busy. keep me during the year thing to eat. some of it is because of the preparation. the data shows that the biggest drug users are young people, 25 to 39 years old, and that one in 4 users are women. why do you think this group is most susceptible? and it sounds like you're saying that you're seeing shift in the profile of users at your center. oh yes. well, you know, it is easy, it is center. we have the board for you see that we're not going to take anybody younger than 18. so what we use or does it does require a young estimate seeing now that we shoot it out for the i woke is the, are those people from zachary school age level, paying to 18 or people from the agent and of all we can needs are the other thing you will see is that these people are young people that susceptible to use,

the current, all the pressure ve, the kind of is feeling or wanted to belong to a home. and also you will see that, that kind of in drives agent that a, i know that they have the ability to. yeah, those are the willingness to experiment. and this is an age. maybe junior, you're approaching it. yeah. is it? yeah. oh, experimenting where they choose to try one of their friends. i've tried the subject of what you're also saying is that the number of people suffering from this is really under represented. it's under counted because there are many people who have not really reported their condition. well absolutely, i can tell you that full suite, you know, because let me tell you, let me give you an example of my country. if you use drugs is not something you can boast about in the reserve at they do because of the drum bids on the job is this

idea that we working people to several people not to do that because it, because when you test positive for you that in someplace those after formed good job, i'll send you away from the institution. and so what happens? blanket future. so people will and it will be on the part and if we need to order somebody out, they don't know the purpose of this somebody. nobody will tell you they use drugs and that it becomes on the board that people say, well, if this comes up against the change of it'd be, don't actually have to be on to get. so people will report that is going to be saying who are trying to get people to run the dentist asked me for so that we don't cause it brings you guys separate board. are they going to be treated? i gotta reach out to where you, where coming from, and then your doctor, your doctor, and not a drug enforcement agent. but i wonder whether you know about where these drugs are coming from, from the expensive marijuana strains to synthetic carlos and whether the government is doing anything to attack the source. i'm telling you that they're doing gomez is

really doing a lot. i can say that because the junk amount was the driver of i drove it gets the job r e came prepared for that. where i work with that. i'm on the advisory board again, d, i'm proud of is the advisor. so i know that just needed a veteran or the every week or they have foresee boards and everywhere. friends of age. i born there, it was a car. so actually one, yes it was. it was the kind these things are just to get. a big car is a great the other mental greek. is that because of the exterminator created these days? is that no cause you got me? so people who like to degrees. so they think it's government 8 times or the agencies just a lot about that. and so, and in terms of the time they show us is working, but i didn't, i did find it though with non because rather frustrating all kinds of ways to bring

it in. but you see these drop meaningful amounts that some of them from south america. it's on one, b, o, p, or it's come from the idea of pakistan. but they drug their afraid to india as an engineer, we would not come straight to nigeria, go, go fresh some way. uh, maybe to browse the maybe to the us and there's only brings in yet, but i can tell you that there is no drawer that is available outside that is not seen here. what gives you hope a doctor? are there any promising trends, innovative approaches, or at least success stories you believe need more attention? oh, yes. one thing is, one gives me will buy. so these are trying to do for god add, you know, because they are scared the different procedure that differential treasure. and so when does that mean not to something is right. it's a new message. it, that makes me feel is that is right. which is me. it one is spite or the different content, and those are what gives me what is what i saying we're trying to do as

a new sure go very many mind in terms of response. but i think another thing is, be more than glad to kind of increase the level 5 book is and create a big which are we ended on people begin to on the do not subject the pony and try to just go to the government. then he works better the day and then or did yours or did is did usually the organization the or be it will not strongly these begin to on the job they, they reduce is the income that you've been. so the government, i think that is where we're going and i can see a bright, a bright light in that direction. and for some of the world in this space for a long time, one, do you think call me right there is one that one is get it. okay, that's a dr. token a did. did you in lagos many thanks dr. i thank you.

every year the number of people who have been driven from their homes by violence, drought, or disease, seems to increase and new figures show that number has doubled in the last decade. that's one of the conclusions of a report from the norwegian refugee council. it analyzes usually the most neglected displacement crises in the world. in 2024 age of the 10 worst hit countries were in africa and topping that grim list is cameron. if your peers troubles are well known, ranked 3rd worst is mozambique, which appears on the list for the 1st time. after that, come burkina faso molly and you gone to do your congo is 8th and somalia 11 of the factors making life unbearable for displace people is that nobody seems to care. take mozambique. it's called in a relentless storm of armed conflict and climate disaster. with more than 1400000

people forced from their homes and nearly 5000000 people facing critical hunger. yet at the same time, international aid is collapsing, mozambique problems are largely invisible in mainstream media, and political will to tackle them is non existent in the country. says the norwegian refugee council. worst effected is the oil and gas rich region of couple delgado where there has been as long as insurgencies since 2017. more than 6000 people have been killed since then, 2 and a half 1000 of those were civilians. i'm pleased to welcome yon aguilar and secretary general of the norwegian refugee council. mister edgarland recently returned from a week long visit to mozambique young evelyn 1st. why is mozambique on your list of the world's most neglected crises? it because it's a place that is stricken by war conflict,

the web, the slow, i'm it state almost, i'm big is attacking civilians. it's a fairly exposed to all of the natural disasters. you can think of free power canes in the beginning of the year. and on top of that hunger crisis, but at the same time, it's neglected. there is their lives and media attention. darcia bell is a positive exception. there is very little funding person to need and the to few diplomatic him horrifically. po, gusting, emergency me. again, you've been there. what was your takeaway? tell us more of what you saw on the ground. what is on the ground was massive displacement of people leading violence and at the same time, a retreat of humanitarian operations. because this is

a place that was funded 60 percent by one donor, only the united states of america. and that funding was turned off over night in january and february and europe has not at all 10 that the gap. so there is a retreat by humanity, by international solidarity, and eh, with these people at the same time as the, the, the, the most and not much the national companies are extracting gas, minerals, oil with phenomena, know the profit margins it's, it's in justice beyond belief and i wonder whether you can weigh in on this. why has it mozambique, despite the avalanche of misfortune it's facing, receive neither the attention of the world's media,

nor of its political leaders. and it's, it's a mystery really uh, we provide that this uh survey. now on the most neglected emergencies on those 8th of the 10 that were most neglected in terms of funding proposed to need media attention and the per matic and political and development efforts to solve the crisis. 8 of these emergencies where in africa, mozambique at the o, p a. can the roon being that perhaps the most neglected about several of the countries in the, in these highly, in region. these are places that are protracted crisis, and therefore i think in that falling off of a rate the uh, what seems to be only interested in trump in the middle east in ukraine. but they're out in major emergencies in, in africa. and if they're not solved,

it would come back to haunt us. it was that is more dis, disabled. more with more migration with more academic disease. and it's, it's bad for the country for the people, for the region, for the what me, as you alluded to earlier, the you, when and many others humanitarian agencies had been affected by washington's cuts in a money under the trumpet administration. what direct impact in very real practical terms, will these codes have on a place like mozambique moving forward as well it's, it's so abrupt that it, it basically means means that kelly next, that with tending to many patients with the, with rooms and the and, and, and her risk diseases every single day. how close down?

no offer anymore. i told her about what, what, what a hostess and powers not being refilled. no sanitation at no new shows that for, for people that are homeless and have had to sleep at no more education, which also need leads to know more employment. these are the dire consequences of, of such a cuts. and i urge really germany european union, the european economies to try to step up now to meet this volume created by the biggest don't on the cutting age hold dramatically. and so abruptly sir, you're painting a rather dire portrait, easily or hope anywhere. there is a lot of hope i. where am i driving, including to mozambique?

i saw wonderful work done by then we terrific thompson. we provide the 8 to 9000000 people, this yet 9000000. this is this, and much of this at 8 is providing great hope for the families education and you eh, civil documentation. so they finally have identity cards. they can apply for work, we provide a livelihoods, we provide you, robust solutions and we help people home. there is a lot of hope and a lot of potential, but we cannot do it's empty handed. so i, that's a really decision makers and parliamentarians don't, don't do only all moments in this age of insecurity in europe there is an honest race. now everybody wants to do that to, to have the militarist increase dramatically. don't forget the people. yeah. i mean,

if we don't have help for people, what, why would we need to know the military's? well, we hear you loud and clear young echo in many, many thanks. thank you. thank you for having now to kenya, where the government launch page 1st and national artificial intelligence strategy earlier this year, aiming to position kenya as advocates, a hub. now one started up is offering new ways for the deaf community to communicate by translating speech and text into sign language video. it has the potential to transform their interactions with people who can't sign a charity as finale is helping build term 3. 60 a kenyan app that utilizes 2 key technologies. motion capture and artificial

intelligence. charities, hands are 1st fixed with multiple sensors that reliably document her hand movements in space. each sign is then copied by a 3 d avatar eva. anything that's repeated definitive in nature. i think that's what 330 down in and seen. how do we automate and provide sign language interpretation. ok. the app can also convert speech into text and turn that text into sign language with a try uh set. then it's like just a video in the market and then get so language for it using goes through the ivr to quote eva and then of thought it finishes and icon download that video. i can download it and for a video, and they can shared share it for me. the social phones kenyans deaf community

includes nearly 3000000 people. and sign language is officially recognized by the constitution. yet many say their access to essential services is compromised, especially when they visit the doctor. that's because not a lot of people can sign someone to join to learn, but you must pay, which is expensive. also, the sign language dictionary is expensive. it's better to use this technology were signs are made easier. ringback the canyon app has been short listed for the 2025 effort comprise for engineering innovation. but it's found or has already set eyes on the next goal, making the system accessible to all dialects and languages around the world. or dot com slash traffic on or of course on social media. apply for now the,

the dawn. and the shadow of those, if you're coop, the only surgeon in the area works in the region suffers from extreme poverty, decades of civil war. they have no food now, why they have no shelter to your crews. and these teams on the last resort coming up on climate change, particularly scary for the younger generation. the sea is turned on. they feel helpless. all the ways
