by dolling out relatively large amounts of money through this new trust fund, to try to improve a little bit the economy of african countries to reduce

what they call the poll factors that bring people across the sea. they say that it is expected that they'll better please their own borders to stop people from getting to shore in the first place. we've seen it in the opening speeches that tonight there are serious questions being raised by african countries about the extent to which they want really to act as europe' migration police. >> if you want to have a summit meeting, where better to hold it than a fortress on an island in the middle of the mediterranean. so dozen of european and african leaders arrive with an agenda that really didn't appear to match. they try to paint the crisis as an opportunity to make africa a bit richer and bit better run with a trust fund of $2 billion to spread around. >> but it's not only about money. i want to make it very clear. this is about building

opportunities for people, protecting people's lives, fighting against criminal networks that exploit people in desperation, and doing this together. together is the key word of this summit. >> south africa states it wants better ways to help people who are record in europe to send money back, better ways to help manager migration. >> europe and africa are partners linked by geography and history. and threw our partnership we must look at the migration question in a lou syd way. >> this summit was called after the tragedy in april when 800 died off the italian island of lampedusa under the promises of more money lies a bette agenda. better to keep people in africa rather than risk it all at sea. that is an either a humanitarian message or a way of defending fortress europe. >> many see this as a way to

kick the can down the road. but europe leaders can't afford to let it happen this time. grand promises of making africa richer, more liveable for its most destitute may or may not come to anything. but the priority here is increasing border security inside africa to stop people getting to the sea in the first place. the plans to police internal borders inside africa are far less well sketched out. they may involve board guards in other countries. worse they say it could mean that european countries providing money to countries like eritrea or sudan with terrible human rights records to keep people in. >> what is happening in the margins? these bilateral agreements in secret with no procedural or human rights safeguards, some of the safeguards with whom they're negotiating have dire human rights records themselves. the fact those meetings are

taking place is a matter of deep concern. >> of course, since the summit was even called the other my gas station route through greece and the balkans became the dominant one. even moderate slovenia has begun rolling out the barked wire to control refugees and migrants. europe mostly sees people on both routes as increasingly unwelcomed. >> yes, answer suggestions being put forward by europe, but south africsome african countries are not happy with those ideas. >> yes, in the opening speeches it was pretty clear that many african leaders regard what europe is trying to do as pretty cynical. there is a number of different levels to it really. on one level many, including the president said migration is been happening for many years. many thought it was the right of

impoverished young africas not just leaving war. others have pointed out historically there have been a lot of european migration into africa, and they reminded their european hosts of the city of colonyism particularly by the french and british and some talks about the effects of globalization on african economies the way very large western countries have gone into africa and have under cut having companies and made it very difficult for local people to make ends meet. in the end they said, look, you can't expect us to keep people in. that is your police force in country unless you do something far greater to help our economies in a more consolidated manner. now some of these things you might think aren't so difficult. things like allowing africans already in europe to send back money. helping africans study and learn in europe before going back to help their own countries.

these things you might think might be aren't so difficult. but unless, it seems to me, african countries are convinced that europe has a long-term vision of tackling poverty and the effects of war in africa, i think the immediate term is going to be very difficult for african countries to help with forced repatriatations who have built a life in europe to leave next year. >> after hearing lawrence's report, those talks take place in malta, more countries are putting up barriers. we have this update from the slovenia croatia border. >> slovenia army erected a fence early this morning in two locations. still refugees crossed the ice-cold waters to get tousle vienna. today they accepted around 5,000

of them. officials say that it will be removed in the next six months. but in the coming days there will be more in the border because the ministry is worried about the next wave of refugees coming to the slovenia border in the next couple of days. so far they have accepted and transferred to austria and germany 181,000 refugees. >> on another line on the migrant crisis we're hearing reported by the ap news agency that sweden is to introduce board--border controls to stem the flow of migrants.

>> the afghan president ashraf ghani has promised to find out who is responsible for the killing of the minority community. he has appealed for calm after thousands marched on the presidential pal. jennifer glasse reports now from kabul. >> thousands of afghans marched through kabul in the largest demonstrations seen in the capital in recent times. they were protesting against the murder of seven people from a minority community. they have been held hostage for months and are expected to have been killed to those loyal to isil or the taliban. the people say that it doesn't matter who did it. they blame the government for not providing security. >> the irresponsible acts of the government. that's the reason for the bloodshed of our martyrs. they're here demanding justice for the bloodshed of these

martyrs. >> the people seem particularly angry that a nine-year-old girl is among the dead. beheaded like the others. >> --we don't want justice for government. we want people to stand up for their rights. we want justice for the blood. >> how much longer will the blood be spilled? how much longer will the government ignore us? otherwise this demonstration will continue. >> the demonstrators calling for the resignation of ashraf ghani and hi abdullah abdullah. >> the country is asleep. there is no work. all you can see is crime and killing. there is nothing else going on here. >> addressing his people on tv. president ghani said that their

pain is his pain. >> itch ordered security forces to take all possible security measures on the high ways to avoid such incidents in the future. >> the government has declared an official day of mourning and has promised to launch an investigation into why afghan forces failed to rescue the victims. >> when protesters tried to climb the wall, police fired shots in the air to stop them. but the scale of this demonstration may send a strong message to the government that the people are frustrated by the lack of security and weak economy. and they want their leaders to do something about it. jennifer glasse, kabul.

>> the national league for democracy continues it's march towards parliament, continues it's par towards a very big win for this election. one of the latest results to be announced by the union commission, not surprisingly aung san suu kyi comfortbly won her seat. she was an incumbent mp in that seat. she won that seat in the prior election three years ago. so very much on track to win more than two-thirds of the seats in the upper and lower houses of parliament. that's what it needs to do to be able to form the next government on its own. remembering that the military is still guaranteed a quarter of all seats in parliament. but so far are those results slowly filter out from the selection commission. this is an overwhelming statement from the people of

myanmar. >> nigeria's president finally swears in his cabinet and makes himself oil minister. and why the new labeling laws face a sticky situation with israel. the only way to get better is to challenge yourself, and that's what we're doing at xfinity. we are challenging ourselves to improve every aspect of your experience. and this includes our commitment to being on time.

>> when people say that this is not reflected in this new cabinet that has been announced. supporters of the president say look it's not about the number of women who are out there. it's about not about the age of the cabinet ministers. >> the foreign minister hats projected--burundi is not in

flames. more than 200 people have been killed in political violence since april and tens of thousands of opposition supporters have fled. u.n. observers are warning that things could get worse. the crisis began when the president appeared to violate the constitution by running for a third term. the "u.n. world food program" estimates 27 million southern africans could face hunger if the drought there continues. an intense el nino event combined with climate change has led to the region's hottest-ever summer. 3million in zimbabwe and malawi are in desperate need of food. four of south africa's nine provinces are marked as hot spots where water is being rationed. eight police officers have been sentenced to prison for

murdering a taxi driver. handcuffed in the back of a police car and dragged to a police station. it was described as barbaric. we have reports from pretoria. >> they were meant to protect but instead they became killers. it wasn't long before the judge told them their fate. >> each of you are sentenced to 15 years in prison. >> this mobile phone footage was important evidence that shows the officers handcuffing the man to their vehicle. he was dragged to the police station and beaten in a cell all for blocking the road with his taxi. >> they are distraught with the loss because apart from being the breadwinner of the family, he was also a family member, he was a son, he was a husband, he was a father, he was a brother,

and unfortunately we can't bring him back. >> this is one of numerous cases of police brutality that has shocked south africans and the world. it seems there are some police officers who have the disregard for the lives of people they're supposed to serve. >> police in johannesburg were caught by security camera killing another man. the circumstances were different. they say that he fired at them. then it shows how he was shot and then kicked. a police officer takes aim and shoots again. many say that south africa is an especially dangerous place to work as law enforcement. there is a high level of crime. >> i don't think there is a problem with the police. i think it's a problem with the society of south africa. you know, we are very violent

society. i think we need to tone down the society. >> many say there is a big problem with the police. wider social issues must play a party. at some point those who have been convicted only have themselves to blame. >> dozens of palestinians have been injured in fighting with israeli forces at check points in the west bank. palestinians have been commemorating the death of yasser arafat. israeli products sold in the european union are to be labeled to show if they were made in settlements built on occupied land. new guidelines means that israeli producers will have to specifically label goods such as wine and cosmetics. bruce he wills insist this is move is technical and not political. it said that the rule change is to provide clarity about where products come from labeling,

indicating products made in israeli settlements will be mandatory on some products like fruits and vegetables while on others it will be voluntary. settlement production represents only a small proportion exporting $200 million to $300 million of goods in the e.u. the economy ministry estimates that it will hit experts by $50 million a year with fresh produce like grapes, wine, honey and poultry most affected. israel's prime minister has condemned the rules as discriminatory. >> the labeling of products in the usual state brings back dark memories. europe should be ashamed of itself. it has take chosen to sing out

israel and israel alone. the european union is not going to hurt the israeli economy. it is strong enough to weather this, but it is the palestinian workers that will be hurt. this will not advance peace. it will certainly not advance truth and justice. it is wrong. europe should be ashamed. >> the social media giant facebook has been ordered to stop tracking the online activity of internet users in belgium who don't have facebook accounts. the firm was taken to court by the belgium privacy commission. it accuses the company of monitoring the personal data of everybody who accesses their site regardless of whether they have an account. facebook has two days to comply or be fined $270,000 a day until it does. german regulators expanding their investigation beyond volkswagen. suspected of manipulating

emissions. the expanded investigation will look at diesel cars made by some of the world's biggest brands made by mercedes, bmw, ford and toyota. cat loan in catalonia region in spain is voting to secede from spain. the spanish government filed an appeal with the constitutional court to prevent the split, which the court has agreed to hear. >> a resolution is tearing apart the democracy. it is liquidating the spanish constitution, which was approved by the greatest majority of spaniards and laid out the rules of coexistence. it expressly states that it's not going to respect the law that is in force and which will not need to pay any attention to

the constitutional court. it is completely out of place and that it breaks up everything. >> china's economy may be slowing but it's ecommerce giant has set a new sails record on singles day within the first eight minutes of the biggest shopping day of the year. selling $1 billion worth of goods. from beijing adrian brown reports. >> he has been counting down the days to this moment. he's part of china's growing middle class. >> i want to buy a couch. i want to buy a storage box. i want to buy clothes for my daughter, and a new handbag. >> the only time she goes out to shop is for fruit and vegetables. everything else is ordered online. >> they will give people a discount. some stuff maybe 50%. >> she is a customer of alibaba, the world's largest online retailer which organized this shopping festival.

but shining a spotlight on this gala reports in china's official media that up to 40% of goods sold online here last year were fakes or badly made. >> they have to crackdown on fakes. alibaba is an u.s. listed company and listed on the new york stock exchange. it has to make sure that it does not appear on the notorious list of the trade representative which is would negatively impact it. >> sham goods are easy to spot. a louis vuitton bag for $150 when prices for the real thing are around $3,000. this bag with a louis vuitton pattern selling for $15. alibaba is owned by jack ma, now being sued in the united states by the conglomerate that owns gucci. alibaba said that more than

$1.5 billion was spent in the first 12 minutes of this online festival. china's economy may be slowing but consumption on wednesday at least appeared robust. online retail sails are up 40% of a year ago. but that jump in business appears to be at the expense of traditional retailers. >> while this was once a pretty busy shopping mall specializing in electrical goods. today there appears to be more staff than shoppers. the reason for that say some of the retailers we spoke to is the growing threat from online shopping. >> for an economy any growth is good right now. the question is whether that rise in consumer spending is happening fast enough. >> the indian festival of light is marked by flickers of light in shops and homes.

>> fireworks also very popular. sikhs celebrate the day that marks the sixth guru from imprisonment. for more go to www.aljazeera.com. >> this week on talk to al jazeera - the founder of wikipedia, jimmy wales. >> everything you see on the website, including the choice of what goes on the front page, the article of the day, picture of the day, all of that is controlled fully by the community. >> in 2001, the internet entrepreneur created the open content encyclopedia and decided it should be free. the reference site is now the world's largest. >> we have a policy, "neutral point of view," that wikipedia itself shouldn't take a stand on any controversial issue.
