malaysian plane. plus we're in mexico where this group of women is using a unique way to fight sexual harassment turkey has made a bold proposal to stop the flow of refugees to the european union. ankara is offering to take more refugees back with more money and a fast-track of its e.u. membership bid >> reporter: at the end the break through they hoped to. they reached an agreement with turkey that they believe marks the beginning of the ends of europe's refugee crisis. >> this is the real game changer >> translation: the days of irregular migration to europe is

over >> our objection is to disurge illegal migration to prevent human smugglers to help people who want to come to europe through encouraging legal migration. >> reporter: the agreement means that in future turkey will take back all those making the perilous and illegal journey across the agean sea to greece. for every syrian refugee returned one syrian refugee from camps in turkey will be resettled in europe. thus opening a legal route of entry. turkey wanted more from the e.u. in return for its help, more money, double in fact, the 3.3 billion u.s. dollars pledged to help syrian refugees on turkish soil. quicker access for turkish citizens to e.u. visas. none of these are promises made

by the e.u. here. there are crucial details and difficult ones yet to be discussed. there are key objections to be overcome within the e.u. there is concerns that turkey is using the refugee crisis to further its e.u. membership bid, hungary attempting refugees that press be part of any deal. an agreement in principle only then. it is nevertheless an important milestone european leaders outline their strategy while thousands of people have been stuck in greece have been pleading with macedonia to open its border. the balkan state is only allowing in a small number of refugees to cross each day. thousands have been gathering at the border demanding to be let

through so they can continue their journey north. the french president didn't offer them much hope. >> translation: you refer to the refugees. first of all, they have to understand they will not be able to cross. we have to speed up relocation and to a certain degree some readmissions for those who do not apply for asylum. for the moment they need to be supported. it will be financed by europe this update from lesbos. >> reporter: a week ago there used to be some special boats to take them to athens. the refugees used to pay for this. now they have stopped that to try and ease of congestion caused by the closed borders. there are about 35,000, according to the greek government, stranded in the country and they don't want many more going there. however, the refugees are still

free to go and they have to go, but they have to go through commercial means that's the situation in lesbos. you're where the greek and turkish prime ministers are going to be meeting in a couple of hours. what do we expect from that? >> reporter: firstly, the turkish prime minister has just arrived. his vehicle is just entering the building behind us which is the turkish prime minister's office here. it is appropriate that this meeting between turkey's prime minister and greece's prime minister will be taking place here because this is one of the main areas for the refugees to cross. thousands of people here go on these riickety makeshift boats

to greece. there is a huge thriving people smugging sinned dates here. it will be a top priority to be discussed by the prime ministers and various members. we've already on seen senior members of turkey's coast guard. it is pretty clear that will be high on the agenda if not the top item, especially after the agreement that was reached in brussels yesterday which both the prime ministers attended. bilateral meetings discussing ways in which the two countries can cooperate economically, can cooperate on security matters, can try to bolster trade between the two countries, but again really top on the agenda we expect today will be the refugee crisis and how these two countries can start to contain

the refugee crisis in light of what was agreed upon yesterday in brussels as that activity takes place behind you, you say that it has been a launching pad for many refugees and then they go on to other countries. what is the situation these days with refugees and also if you happen to speak to any of them about the plan that's being put forward what do they think of that? >> reporter: when you talk to refugees here in turkey, they still want to get to greece. they don't believe that their efforts will be hindered because there is this vast smuggling market that still exists. turkey has said for a while that they intend to crackdown on the smuggling network. over the weekend you had an announcement by the government here in which they said two smugglers had been arrested and

150 refugees had been stopped from crossing. that's a small number compared to the thousands refugees that get in these boats and cross from turkey into greece every day. turkey has said, and greece has said, that it will be a monumental effort to try to ensure that the refugees will actually stay in turkey, that they will be prevented from leaving turkey. we've heard from nato in the last 24 hours that they intend to properly the waters, but all that being said, with the agreement being reached yesterday, even with turkey promising that they will keep refugees in here, that they will keep money to build new camps, it is going to be extremely difficult to crackdown on the networks to try and make sure that these coastal areas that haven't been patrolled are more

patrolled and that they can try to staunch this flow that keeps going every day, every hour thank you for that. tunisia's prime minister says a cross-border attack from libya is a terrorist strike by i.s.i.l. fighters. it is aimed at establishing an emirates in tunisia. >> translation: 36 fighters have been killed and seven more have been arrested. we have some information of some tunisian elements involved, but there are also foreigners responsible for this attack. we have gathered important information from the terrorists the government has ordered the closure of border crossings between tunisia and libya. >> reporter: the people here woke up to this. the sound of heavy gunfire.

the attacks on the town were coordinated. on the national army and security forces. some local people report seeing dozens of fighting in the streets. tunisian authorities say they have killed many of them, including this man who they accuse of attempting to fire a rocket propelled grenade at a police station. this was one of the targets, the security headquarters here in the heart of the city. what this attack shows is that there is an organized well-armed group operating in this border region capable of hitting strategic targets. some call this area the world west of tunisia, known for the smuggling of goods from nearby libya, its markets and shops are now closed. tunisia, ins have travelled from here to libya. many people here think i.s.i.l. is behind what happened.

>> translation: they are dirt. we are not afraid of them. all the people here are in solidarity with the government. for us everyone is in sol ard with the government. we hate them, they don't represent us. they don't represent tunisia. >> translation: of course i'm afraid. we're all afraid because it is the first time something like this has happened. >> reporter: one possible reason for this attack is revenge for a recent u.s. air strike on an i.s.i.l. camp in western libya. most of those killed were tunisians. it is thought the strike happened with the help of tunisian intelligence. last week about a dozen arm fighters crossed the border attacking security forces. this time it was a much larger group. >> translation: this is an unprecedented attack plan episode and organized and whose goal was probably to take control of this area to announce a new emirate.

>> reporter: they reasonable build a border to stop -- for border protection. the threat isn't just coming from libya. it is already within tunisia itself u.s. military commanders say a drone strike in somalia has killed more than 150 al-shabab fighters. al-shabab has confirmed that attack but says the u.s. is exaggerating the number. al-shabab which has links to al-qaeda is fighting to overthrow the sew malian government. al-shabab fighters are claimed for numerous bomb and gun attacks in east africa, including the nairobi shopping mall attack.

the white house says it was to prevent fighting. >> they posed an imminent threat to u.s. an africa can mission forces in somalia. it degrades al-al-shabab's objectives targets in the area the somali government spokesman said: an update from our correspondent. >> reporter: we know the strikes happened in the area of al-shabab. they say they killed 150 soldiers. al-shabab say that is an

exaggeration. often it targets leaders of al-shabab in 2014 the former leader of the group was killed in a u.s. air strike. what is also important is the timing of this latest air strike. it comes weeks after the african union, which is fighting al-shabab, the air strike is significant because it comes on the back of al-shabab increasing its attacks in southern somalia it is the second anniversary of the second biggest aif aviation mystery. a somber vigil was help and mps in parliament stood in silence. families of the missing demanded answers as they protested outside a buddhist temple. florence rui has more. >> reporter: the second anniversary of the disappearance

structure. there is no structure to absorb everyone in it. they're going to work in low levels of manual labor, now that the population is increasing, we get this kind of shock of people that are not going to be in the labor market >> reporter: rising unemployment level is a challenge facing most african countries. youth unemployment rates are double those of adults. the continent has the youngest population in the world. almost 200 million people are between 15 and 24 years old. the u.n. says that number will likely double by 2045. most african economies are not going fast enough to give most of them a chance of employment women in mexico have come up with a novel way to deal with the capital's harassment
