5:36 pm
so the came the, the phone to me, i'm to transition was that tried to natalie came up with that different, i'm not able to mention that sort of the transition. so maybe they don't get stuck in getting of course and know how much the the cloud is working on it on site. and it says eyes here. whenever the website you feel like you are popular is doing a place where people don't appreciate to don't have a voice the nobody cares that much fully. well, so initially for me, i was like, uh, i mean i want to weigh a, i'm fixing a lot of personal devices when, if i'm sick, nobody guess if i, if i have a good solid, nobody can this nobody to share what, what they have those performing for their buds video in the mornings, you'll find them on just there. so i was seeing them as the,
5:37 pm
as the reload in the front of the car to a theater. he's because the new a country equals. so i wanted to talk to you via larry. you've done quite a few songs about extrinsic additional cleanings and the police know who can and people who live had last 3 friends. our in our center done the site because of its security. some kidding. they was beaten after the the stronger fund. it was the month it was, i was hungry and so that's where i amy, i started becoming moving to social issues on the not anything the one day one a day or 2. we're not we're not out there to bump in there. you. when and there's also an organization called that you can, yeah, which you work in and you do these projects with young people. can you tell me
5:38 pm
a bit about what you do with them? ok, so of course, and it was, it is a community based organization that lots of kids from the age of 5. 17 to ensure that they're safe and easy. so that don't end up day society special vices. he's coming the dates, we to use a class days, drama, class this point. see, we play games, it keeps forget the be a monday screwed into find the 100 plus the new talents. of course the, and someone is, he does the most often and then even any of that to meet the go on theory, you corresponded them. it's our social justice center, which is it talk to the old forms of structural vine. and can you explain a bit about what made you want to start the organizations?
5:39 pm
i was born in my body and i grew up in my address for this one biggest fly mean can now i love my, that is, you know, i was a, have you tried? and when i became an adult is when i could see now the violence that the people in my community while going through the cold. let's see the police brutality, the police came in, the local, clean water. so growing up in mother is like growing up in a village, but everybody knows everybody. so when something happens to one of us really seen it. so big feelings in particular too much. it was this too much. so the challenge that we formed, but that is social justice center. and were there any person experiences that you live in? sorry, that made you want to stop the organization? yes. um, my own brother was killed by a police in to
5:40 pm
a 7 to void for selection violence in canada. and that with a lot of other young people that have grown up sleep being killed. and this is not just my theory, ellen, this is the story of many young people in, by the way, to have a friend, a cousin, a brother, a neighbor that was killed by police the winter when no outside them. it's our research assistance. i can you tell me a bit about the why fi g day today? it every day receive cases from the community on the trend of it is that to be a lucky one to bring justice to the community and was most new is this case is open this mortality of people who have been arrested with not enough reason because of the end of this violence, but we have community engagements,
5:41 pm
like watching film planting, trees, community cleanup meetings have been once rationed. and every time we meet a, this sensor, we have to sing because the sun, an energy that comes when we things together and to just i just on to continue watching this class of speaking justice and dignity for our people. the, i wanted to ask you about the time in 2020, when you were a pretest against police brutality and you resisted arrest from 3 of police offices . and there was a huge reaction because the video of this happening went viral and lots of people. so read how was that experience you? were you surprised by the reaction in a car? yes, i was surprised that he even went viral. i didn't know it was going to be that impossible
5:42 pm
. that i i'm a woman that was able to stand up for myself. made the young man in my could me see more emboldened to sign up for themselves in mid and feels more powerful. i also have to say that at that very moment is the pain of every month i have walked with in thinking, just as for the sun, every case i have documented every single person i have seen lives that lives in my community. a gave me this trend to say that this was enough and this feeling how much are still the so 10 dash, thank you so much for being here today. when we think about the issues that are
5:43 pm
facing young people, it's interesting that 75 percent of the people in can you out under the age of $35.00, but only 40 percent of youth at registered to vote in the recent elections. why do you think it is that so few people are registered to vote, i'm hearing can yet under the age of 35, i think it was a, a one a form of existence from the people from the $8000000.00 tenants who did not come on towards i think they was saying that they did not want to be a part of this. they wanted a system that works for them. and on the other hand, i think one thing is important because it's the only way we are going to put someone who could walk for us. but i think it was very loud that they would so tired of this system of oppression. and what do you think this, how did you feel about the election and how did young people that, you know, speak about the election? remember before left, so new. i mean, we were in
5:44 pm
a crisis of course the 19. and of course, even the death i'm into uh, previously there one not even doing a lot of the people. yeah. they were just uh, making the people just off i lot because the there was not a lot of coffee. was people people not going to job. so when it comes to people now being told is devoted, they were like, and on the same government, they didn't gamble with us. why are they getting now? they don't respect the voices. they don't hear what they say, but they one task to do what they see. and that's, that's how we feel like it's what is not possible. it doesn't change anything. the fullest, i feel that sense of accuracy towards the system. i do because women void, see, says the country, good independence with little change, look at the community to where i come from. it's still the same for her to from before. so people are beginning to relate with, i mean, why do i even go towards it doesn't change my life in any way. how did you bring it
5:45 pm
about change if you withdrawal from the system is that exists now? how can you amplify the issues that matches? he mice, i think we need another tentative system that sense as please pull at the very call of the issues we have trying to address. how we need to bring about changes, organize ourselves as the youth, and advocate with one voice as one girl about the issues that much i to us. i feel like we shouldn't take a box it and watch and complain and say this system doesn't work for us. these people are corrupt, it's, and we actively organized against that system together. i know that you both have a lot about extrajudicial headings in kenya, around the world. they were conversations around police brutality, and that's at the hands of the police. could you explain to me what it is like in kenya in regards to the extra 2 additional cleanings, the medical step in the hashtag blacklist martha. uh, i think it, it might the most in can because uh,
5:46 pm
personally i've looked 20 plus friends. most of them was killed by police and well justice. and initially this is just specific on the dental. so if you imagine how many happens each end every day and my dad and keep that in, in, in, in the streets. so it's quite a very, very big issue that hasn't been happening and we haven't been getting that solution . and wondering how would you explain it? now, as i'm british colony, when we go to independence, the police service that we're serving, the colonial government, did the change. what did you do, martinez? i became president. ok now. he continued with the same police force that the colonial government was using in their full fussing on. that's the practices that they told me they would cost up on the people to present the chance, leaving and in for most instruments. when judge floyd was killed by 10 year old,
5:47 pm
yes and miles to the non community. and when we planned the protest to this last time, i saw kenya's soul invested in calculating methods of it. so you just have to live in the country. usually we will hold our demos the name foremost at home. and i've been good slater hills can connect said this trouble in the us and us from without hand came out in the large numbers to say we demand and interests any additional documents. so police officers have justified 72 percent of the kennings that have happened alleging that they were result of anti crime operations. and i wanted to ask within the communities, is that a slight tension that just some people maybe not have sympathy when somebody who was committing a crime dies at the hands of the police and how do you respond to that? yes, that happens. but i think it's um, we live in a country that prides itself in upholding visual noval. what do we have? well, let's say is, if someone has been found doing something wrong, can we have
5:48 pm
a little before? not can we have them arrested and taken to court and prosecuted instead of the police this id to be the judge and the judy and the executor shawna. because this is what happens most of the time. and this is a crime not just in can no, but everyone else. i do not think police have a right to take away anybody's life when they low that can be followed. for me, the biggest issue has been the quality. they are not treating people the same. like we have been having news like a, a, sat in 5. so let's go to the took mindful data for the government to the said and these governors on news. but then not being killed. why is it that in where we leave and then the someone i just the phone or was my dad a cleaning on a? so cleaning all according to the, the little so the, we need to, when we need to put it clear that it needs to be an,
5:49 pm
an important thing that we feel like it's not if it's not try and equally on time do dash, that was the case of cause in being in this like some people in government had stolen dealings, made so many tickets, the federal court with names and in the country. and during this period there was also um, a lot of property in the communities. and actually, the police did not as waste the coven dns despite having been a protest. it is the people protesting against this. go with the union, that's what actually i raced it. so what that she's saying is there's a distinction between people who are stealing to survive and people who are stealing from the people, because their governments told from the poor in that particular incent which led them to lead groups. when you say that you're fighting for justice, what does justice look like? fear? so for me, justice means uh this,
5:50 pm
this consistent like people shifted. same uh they said this list is like following the little moist killed with the police, the one to me, but that's 600 additional kidding to you are not given upon me to be the by the police to conduct a fundraising so i can get funds to do the body image, why don't you have incandescence? because that, that's almost game that need strong to, you know, given a, find me, so for this, nor does it there. so if i, if i guess is that people shouldn't be treated equally. that's what does this mean school and what about you wonder at what is justice look like to you and when you're fighting for that? well, is it that you're thinking about? my brother was killed by police. justice ideally would look like me getting boss, my brother. but that is not possible. so injustice would look like preventing people from losing their loved ones. still anything that would make sense for me
5:51 pm
sooner is and we, i'm fighting that physical needs needs to solve. so can, is do not have to go through a necessary, paid cost, bite the bullet. so has that ever been a time that you have seen just as an action in kenya with regard to, you know, police kennings. if there was a case to all funding of the o supplementing station was over a company station who killed someone in the police station who drowned them in a drum full of water. and as the inmates could see that. and when we documented this case together with the international justice mission, we took it to court and we attended court sessions. we are going to show a certain justice for my team call me and that enlightment when he was sentenced to life imprisonment. and that was the 1st day i saw justice in action in this country . and i want to move the conversation a little bit and says, all the areas i know you care about. i want to specifically also talk to you guys
5:52 pm
about music. it feels like it is really a lifeline view. so for me, music is life. uh, i feel like uh, the way the way people have a power like the police have the gun and they feed ball fully done. so for me it's even possible and they have music because it's part of my life. last year we had the case of very beginning to end or where police was looking for a site. and then the southern thief, when dining, he, he went to, he's friends on some of the defense. so i'm not the, so the police ended up getting everybody under the that's all, it was all about stuff. it's like you're just getting, we need coincides to the community just to send something like that is social justice centers and all that. and we be good justice to do that. follow the ad and we've got new new police. and are there any other names of people or any other examples of cultural art or music the you have found to be powerful or inspiring?
5:53 pm
and can you listen to me? i see mine and the song, mississippi, and good them about police brutality. they will forgot that identify and became a big issue for the black people over there. they went to a protest singing that song, but then few full pa full. and nina, hassle of felt the like headlight side more the ones we should sing to. and once the struggle of last people what you're saying about then it's still very rel of lunch today in the us. and also we know communities in countries back home. and i wanted to ask social media. it's done a lot in terms of sharing messages to do with activities and how important do you think that has been for you and can you more generally in terms of i'm to find messages like the ones you care about? most mostly i've been using social media as well as sort of like a proof and whenever you have so, so maybe it's easier to even tell people like this. these are part of the things that they have done. so indeed,
5:54 pm
a decent time she had issues with the police when they wanted to like that is how they force a new york. we also that because of the social media. so this means that when we did send, it would be to move off with. and so many people are inspired by high just because of the story. and this is because of the social media. it has even happened. both even industry to someone is being that if they've done this using social media to tell people that he has to be noticed and then he hasn't done anything. so i have said that social media have played a very, very big role in terms of documenting issues. one very easy use youtube to teach that kind of alternative history. and i wanted, if you could speak to me a little bit about why you've done that, i love history. i think history is very liberating. when you get to see me know and understand. i think present a generation is quite disconnected with our very closely as history of the past. for example, my communities, my, my home in my diary has been around for
5:55 pm
a 100 years. it's been a century of survival and resistance since 1920 for my daughter has been existing. think it's the oldest, get to him can now. so we've had presidents from 91063 who have done something to change the faith of the people of my life. but they did not. this is we have structural violence comes in that the people in my life continue to be neglected and continue to be exposed to system systemic violence of social injustice this. so when we understand as young people where we are coming from, it will be very easy to, to create like i know future. we want to know for children's children and simon, any best i know you care a lot about your community. and i want to hear from you directly. what is it that you're proud of in terms of where you are from, and what your identity is?
5:56 pm
so uh, of course i'm proud of myself if cit, from, from where i've come from. and where am i managed to to both of a 1010000 kids will have identified the new talents among the successful stories that they have is that about 50 young guys do not end up being and dropping out of school. i li, pregnancies. but we have monday to get them out of such issue so. so most of a proud of the defies that i've gone through in interesting that thing satellite, this sounds that they have done and all that as a final notes. what is it, despite all of the issues that you have seen that makes you get up every morning? so 5 for a bet today. why is it that you can see needs to do what you are doing? well i guess me going is knowing that i'm on the right 5 and i'm doing my little thing towards contributing to the betterment of society. like one guy, as i said to everybody around there was
5:57 pm
a little thing towards making so all over the place. so that is my initial thing and i'm happy doing it. there is a no, let's wake up every morning to ensure that what i'm being the, i'm not even paid or anything is just because i need to see a move future. i need to see a bit and or i need to see a bit of canyon. i need people to not leave the lives that i have left so that so let's look up every morning for me to check kids with foods. if i'm really i know, so for the future i'll scan the
5:58 pm
11th days that and dates more than 60 young live in may 2021. the powerful testimony of palestinian families in gaza as they remember the children killed during the it's really bombing 3 years ago. 11 days in may. all i'll just say are this is a front line where there is little life after more than half a year of hostilities that began when hezbollah opened up a front to help it's a lie from us. in casa, we are traveling with members of the united nations peacekeeping force,
5:59 pm
their own patrol, with lebanon's army. we are here to support them and these government to take control of the situation. but the army is not the dominant force here. has the law has a strong presence even before this late this confrontation, nearly 100000 lebanese, have left their homes and livelihoods. it's a similar situation on the other side of the border. this is the cost of hor, official. a loss that are already in the billions of dollars, although the contract is still large, but contained and confined to the, for the region, has been lost as the conflict won't end until there's a cease fire in casa. but possibly not even then. because isabel is threatening a wider war if border security doesn't improve of the
6:00 pm
. ringback the, [000:00:00;00] the hello, i'm sort of any age good to have you with us. this is the news. our life from bill coming up in the next 60 minutes seems of extreme desperation. tens of thousands of palestinians are being pushed out of their homes in easter rough. after israel, a warrant of an eminence all out offensive is really a strikes intensify across the guys. at least 52 people are killed across the
