and facilitating a future. it's not just identifying their loved ones that are difficult. finding a resting place is near impossible. this is an example of how sad a life and death they have. what makes their fate for tragic is is the fact that many put into the ground were done so anonymously. >> they understand death better than most. this, they struggle to comprehend. >> the refugees come to find a better future, he tells me. instead they get a painful death. we greeks, we also were migrants, but we didn't have to die in the see. now even for refugees that escape with their lives, it's death that seems closer than

ever qatar's world innovation summit for education honoured a woman that helped to get millions to school. she has dedicated much of her life in a country facing security infrastructure and cultural challenges. >> i have so many talent. >> reporter: it's not been an easy journey. this woman's has taken this opportunity given to her to help millions of others. many wouldn't be in school without her. growing up she had the support of her father to get a degree when it was difficult for her to get one at home. she tried to return to afghanistan, but became a refugee. it was not easy.

it's to see that how these people were devastated. they lost their family, their home, their belongings. they have been so miserable. how the people are feeling. what can i do to change their lives. it supports straining. it sets up the afghan community of learning. thousands benefitted. some of the most conservative groups in afghanistan are against girls getting an education. the taliban closed schools in the 1990s. so from reopened after a u.s.-led invasion, with armed grouped controlling areas, there continues to be attacks on

because the school is attacked or the children are attacked on the way too and from school. >> people talk about a lost generation. is it difficult to cane information or -- gain information or data about what is happening to schooling. in areas like syria, where there's so much chaos on the ground. this is true. it's difficult to get good information in the heat of battle or in the hard times of conflict. but once things settle down, you can try to find out what is going on, you can send in teams, you get newspapers, journalists going in to find out what is going on. the important thing is to find out what other good sources and try to improve the quality of the data that you get through analysis, and try to get the story out that makes sense. just the fact that people are killed, people are injured - although it's tragic in the circumstances, in order to make sense of it you need information

about what the circumstances were, what was really happening, and what the consequences were for the people involved currently there's a lot of international focus on the migrant crisis caused by the conflicts going on in the middle east. refugees who are fleeing violence and conflict, how - is there are education protected, how are children looked after. are they looked afterward as they make the journeys, ending up in places in europe. >> well, once they are on the run. there's little education that goes on. it's when they reach the refugee example, u.n.i.c.e.f. and other agencies, they put basic education together. it's reaching half the children of primary school ages, and when you get to secondary schools it's a quarter. when you get to a foreign

countries, it's a different language. school system. they lose all the qualifications, have no certification of their large, they are adrift in the system. we need innovative ways of hoping them. these are big problems to overcome. think you for joining us. mark, speaking to us live from the wise summit in doha ivory coast's president has been sworn in for a second 5-year term. during the ceremony, he promised more inclusion to ease economic disparities. he won a landslide victory last month. it was the first presidential poll since the first civil war killed 3,000 people. opponents of the president in burundi continue to be prosecuted. he won a controversial third

passenger air draft but to fly drones, often on farms, that's why they set up sa school near beijing. technology editor reports. >> for many people, a remote control helicopter like this is a toy. not for the students. they are the first group at a school in beijing, giving students the skills they need to get work as professional remote controlled pilots. >> i want to build my own company with drone services and work for myself in a new and popular line of work. >> the 2-week course include learning about insurance, regulations and students are taught how drones are built, and how they can be fiffed. after that, they are trained on flight simulators. if we practice with a drone we have a lose. with a simulator, students have a solid foundation and have the confidence improved and they'll

be more comfortable piloting the real drones. >> in china, anyone flying an aircraft more than 7 kges or higher than 100 meters must be licensed. it's submitted licences and agricultural industries need 10,000 pilots to fly. >> we need pilots that are licensed because safety is the biggest concern in the operation of drones. we have insurance, we need strict regulations for studying and training to avoid incidents, drones are popular with farmers who see them as a way of reducing cost. china has an area of farm land. there's a high amount of drones. >> gun technology is advancing fast. and each generation of aircraft is challenging the way things are done.

for the moment at least, there's a need for those with the skills and the will to fly. >> and you can keep up to date with all the news on the website. the address aljazeera.com. address aljazeera.com. wage, and it's legal. stranded on the sidewalk, watch what happens when americans try to book with uber. tonight i want to ta about a group of american workers earning less than the federal minimum wage. first context. the bare label standards act. signed by roosevelt in 1938 made
