feel that the french authorities have failed to deliver on that promise. in particular, they've been very ketoacidsing about the-- scathing about the way known fighters, such as the man behind the paris attacks, abdel hamid abaaoud, how he was able to go back and forth between syria and europe without being prevented from doing so. they feel it's inappropriate this ceremony and they said they will not be attending. they don't feel that the government really has done its duty towards the french people jacky, thank you. germany has deported around 60 asylum seekers after rejecting their applications. in a deal, germany will send back refugees whose travel documents have expired or been destroyed. germany declared these countries safe in september. that means their citizens don't qualify for asylum.

about their needs. there are very many young people here. there's a young man who is on stage now who talked about what you were saying in that introduction about radicalization and how vulnerable young people are to add railisation. not only-- radicalization. not only that, he says they're being targeted by violent armed groups. there is a group that is based in somalia which forces are fighting and this group has carried out several attacks in the country. recently, earlier this year, they attacked a university in the north where 148 people, mostly students, were killed and the pope decided to come it kenya after that attack to be in solidarity with young people.

this young man talking rate now, he is saying that, yes, wonderful to pray and for give those who would cause them harm, but he also asks that how can things that are not - how can things that happened not be forgotten. how can they forget things that happen. they say, yes, we will for give and pray for them, but we will not forget. basically the pope's message is going to be empowering the youth. he has said many times frustrated young people are disempowered and disenfranchised, they're very easy for recruitment and radicalization by armed groups, also politicians appeared gangs that have bad motives. so urging government to empower young people, not just in kenya but across the continent yesterday when he gave that speech at the u.n. offices in the city, it was a pretty hard

hitting speech that he delivered, almost sounding like a politician not like the leader of the world's roman catholics. how did that go down? >> reporter: people really appreciated that message. yes, it was very hard hitting statement about the environment and resources. you must remember the pope is not just the head of the catholic church, he is also the head of the vatican. he is very pash eight about-- passionate about matters to do with the environment and that is what he was very hard on at that united nations environmental program office. he talked about issues that are very pertinent to africa, issues that are close to africa, and the resources, he talked about the summit that is coming up in paris, the climate change summit

this means they can earn a living. these girls were married as teenagers, lacina when she was just 15. >> translation: i had no choice because my parents couldn't afford to take us to school. i was just at home doing nothing. i didn't want to get married. but there was in p no money for school. >> reporter: although primary school is free in zambia, secondary school isn't. widespread poverty means many parents can't afford to pay the school fees so they marry their daughters off. these girls' village is different. an organization called plan is teaching them about girl power. it offers an income and a place to teach them about their rights. that has caused some issue. >> translation: there are some problems. the children have learned about their rights and sometimes the demands upon their parents are impossible to meet. when the parents are pushed against the wall, the message

isn't broken. >> reporter: child brides are more likely to be in abusive relationships, contract hiv and dying during childbirth. having comments like this buy into the idea of ending child marriage is the first step to stopping it, but the practicalities are far more complex and go way beyond this community's culture, history and traditions or even the village borders. the first summit on ending child marriage is being held in zambia. it wants to influence governments across africa. some attitudes are swinging towards girl power. >> translation: it means girls coming together with energy, not the old ladies, just us because we have the power to change our lives as girls. >> reporter: she is trying to take control of her life by pricking the cycle of poverty so her daughter can stay in school, creating a new tradition for her

young family tania joins us live from the zambian capital. it must be difficult to get the central message to the people who need no hear it. >> reporter: -- need to hear it. >> reporter: absolutely. part of the problem is, of course, that that message needs to get to everyone from the girls in the villages, like the one you saw in the story, all the way up to the top and the governments across africa and of course across the world because this isn't just an african problem. with me to talk about that and how you do that is the region a.m. director for plan and national-- we have seem some efforts you're doing in the village. how do you get governments to really effect change and curb child marriage?

the governments have to take action. one is they have to adjust the legal systems and number two they have to put the resources where the consensus is. let me talk about the legal systems. in plan we're working with the development community no establish model law and i'm happy to say that it has been approved against child marriage. at an it that includes response mechanisms and complaints mechanisms. we also work with the african union to end child marriage, on the committee for the rights of the child to ensure that the african children's charter is activated. >> reporter: birth rage strayings, why is-- registration, why is that important?

resources to fill that gap. we're here to work through the development on digital systems top actually ensure that governments are capable of registering all the children and the marriages that are taking place >> reporter: one comment that came out we shouldn't be talking about child marriage but rather child abuse and child rape. i would agree in terms of the terminology, but again the legal system is against that. so we have to make sure that this is written into the law, that the age of consent is established and that it is clearly defined what child marriage means versus child abuse, rape or violation. if that is not in the law, then it is hard to take any handle to take action against perpetrators. thank you very much for your point of view here. that is the regional director for plan international, one of the organizations doing its best to prevent the scourge of child marriage in africa

that muslims should be treated with suspicion, that torture is acceptable in the interests of national security and that mexican immigrants are rapists. it's nothing new. trump has a history of adelaide racism-- alleged racism in his shrilling dealings. he is a be that as it may. >> reporter: his lead needs context. firstly, it's way too early in the process to be predicting outcomes. historically those likely to vote for the next republican presidential candidate don't start paying attention to the race until just before the first caucus which is next february. secondly, the opinion polls are of those who identify as republican and not those likely to vote. at this point in the race in 2011 this man also noted for his controversial statements was in the lead and being praised for his outsider status.

trump's numbers also have to be put into a national context. 25% of americans identify as republican. of that number some 27% say they support trump. as noted, u.s. pollste pointed out that represents 6% of the u.s. population or the same number who believe the moon landings were fake. they were dancing in the streets and roof tops. >> reporter: that's not to say his it isn't sufficient. the republican hasn't pushed back against trump. it's not as if the other candidates considered mainstream are any less extreme in their attitudes to race, civil liberties and immigration. they're just less quotable hundreds of activists have marched through mexico city
