legacy of colonialism place a big part in the debate about what it means to be french. what's the relationship between mainstream french culture history and identity and the sections of the population descended from immigrants from the former french colonies in africa. this seem to me to be two separate francis and that the one does not really want to accept the other. i decided to bring together a few young french people from different intellectual political and ethnic backgrounds to debate the key issues around french identity. something to go back without the whole point of.

view you can move your your issues really feel good enough before you get to that i'm a totally. focus is on the thickness of the feeling of this through this experience if it could happen next door would all of us to be good to talk to him before god has the mission of the sea really of the borders of absorption we have been going to become so structured you dumb a cow those are. all folks to. come on. that look when it's nearby community us confidently of course of exactly the business

number that we are of the it is used to going up expensive there are more money clearly like you look local government you don't go there you are most of the people who thinks it's going to be going to do to the market is busy with having to deal with the city received. in the course of the bus a minute because of a business meeting a deal was done to put on notice their refusal even on the day of the i think it was a little of them have to defect to the little cunt that innuit like have you did the last act google would you judge because one of us is kinda stuck up over the new pins lists to keep looking money to commutes to fit. or we don't want to know many good men what is really are if you don't it if there was a bit of them on the moment you joined what is to fit to talk about just. to talk a lot ok that is what you measure me to get to let me to know. it was doing stupid

systematic not fully second best interest of i said it only to. me i was soon fast i am just on. you know i am a shock to the. core part of the going to be. yeah. she didn't like. me as i'm not just that got us a lot about us which also unclear to me sitting at home. to reveal no one looks at you but to his replies in. value don't you think that's own import emetic conditioned of all this is. revealed to you too because if not then if left us. here she still said. this would put that on board you know i ask

mine and if she would accept as president. that's a difficult problem. for a republican though it goes. with the. record but maybe you don't think we said it is a living. legacy. france has been looking at how to address the social and economic problems of its population in the city suburbs since they were developed in the nineteen seventies . the center i'd like to join louis bholu recently set out fresh proposals but they were rejected by president manuel mcgraw in may twenty eighth reportedly been too costly. microbe also suggested that the future of these areas might partly depend on the people who live

there. what was clear to me in making this film was that although many in truong see the need to address the problems of the suburbs this seems no real commitment in central government to find any lost in solutions. when i was a kid. for me it was a pleasure and a passion believe one he always found about maybe the tone in the living room and tried to pick out one playa who's made the difference to me i also write. far more for who can make things up and people can make things change you know thank you football during a break on al-jazeera world. i

think it's safe to say that normal service has been resumed across the middle east lotty dry eye over the coming days that a bit of cloud still just flirting with the on north of the region here just coming out of the black sea towards the caspian sea with a tells of want to show as maybe into northern parts of. but essentially it does look dry and it does look hot we get up to thirty celsius now for barrett forty five and baghdad warm enough in kabul is around thirty four degrees and pushed further north still a few showers there up towards tashkent and up towards al matty some of pictures to go on through day sundays but just on the to understand could still see some showers want to see showers and to northern parts of iran but elsewhere it does look like he fought a draw to forty four celsius there for baghdad to sort a temperature we're looking forward to see across europe in places like here in forty four celsius generally dry a little more cloud across the southern end of the arabian peninsula into southern

parts of a monitor the gulf of aden i think it should be largely dry but you might just please one or two spots of right now well as you try to across south africa southern africa the treatment out over the next couple days a week of it is generally set fat nine hundred for cape town on friday some of the values are going to sas day but out of dry and moving in. al-jazeera is very assertive we just tell the reality as it is forcing hard work on

the back legoland moderns namely we call for indonesia every day not only when there's a breaking news story in an asia has a very fascinating country been very difficult to understand from the outside and because i've been living here for sixteen years i know very well it's going on and i go out there and power for the whole country and even the young al-jazeera gives the opportunity for a journalist to be real journalists. in afghanistan billions of dollars of international aid have been donated to girls' education but where has the money gone when he meets girls desperate to learn and asks why is the system failing them on al-jazeera. south africa's former president jacob zuma returns to of course accused of fraud or

racketeering and money laundering. i know there. are a lot of from doha also coming up. i don't think you have to prepare very much for both the attitude of. president strikes a relaxed tone a summit with north korea's leader. closer to home donald trump faces a showdown with g seven allies over his battle tariffs plus. seeing clearly new technology helping refugees for a man with their eyesight. former south african president jacob zuma is facing another court hearing over a two point five billion dollars arms deal. he's accused of sixteen charges including fraud corruption money laundering and racketeering as a link to

a nine hundred ninety s. deal to buy european military hardware to move his deputy president at the time and his dogs him for good as the charges first brought about in two thousand and five before being withdrawn four years later and a court reinstated the charges in march lock not to harm tossing his outside the high court in. a second appearance in this case what are we expecting from the court today. what we hearing the state ones to us for we spoke up until the top of me being the which suggests that maybe they are not ready to miss supporters are planning to march to the courts in fact they are on their way they are arriving to the court some of them are divided they saying that they feel that he's being victimized they insist that he's innocent but some say there's no smoke without fire if he is guilty if he is guilty they say that he

couldn't have done this by himself others must have known of the big players within at the time some still in government they must have known or they must have participated in some way in this thing until those big players also dragged to court and they won't see this process as credible. are once a trial actually likely to start a more importantly. well it could take a couple of months some people even say it could take a couple of years and zuma has other challenges that he's also facing he's in another court also trying to get that court to get taxpayers to pay for his legal fees the last time he was the quote was in two thousand and nine and is accused of raping back when he was usually usually popular people were throwing money at him paying for his legal fees of some of those people have died or found someone else to support and then there's the whole state capture issue where it's alleged that he could lead. and this time we were in influencing cabinet appointments the family

was amassing a lot of wealth they were accused of corruption yet to deal with that also so his lawyer is saying that went a long postponement could work in his favor it could give him time to maneuver ok joining us now from outside the high court and thanks very much higher. oh yes president donald trump says he may invite north korea's a chemist into the white house if the upcoming talks go well they're speaking in the white house alongside japan's prime minister who has to reiterate his demands for the singapore summit reports from washington the japanese prime minister will see donald trump but the upcoming g. seven summit in canada to be made a detour to washington to ensure he gets some private time with the u.s. president to discuss north korea is a to settle down in the oval office the president admitted he didn't feel the need for a lot of preparation before his historic summit in singapore i don't think you have

to prepare very much it's about attitude it's about willingness to get things done but i think i've been preparing for the summit for a long time. he wants to make sure key japanese demands aren't lost in the moment that any deal isn't just good for the us but its allies i hope the upcoming meeting in singapore represents the beginning of a bright new future for north korea and indeed a bright new future for the world. the denuclearization of the korean peninsula would assure in a new era of prosperity security and peace for all koreans north and south and for people everywhere when donald trump travel to japan in the vendor he met the families of japanese citizens allegedly abducted by the north koreans in the seventy's and eighty's the release is top of prime minister abbott is agenda cannot abandon all his entire city on behalf of the citizens of japan i would like to

thank president trump and the people of the united states for their understanding and support and what's the presentation as the adoption issues. donald trump believes the summit in singapore can make progress towards north korea abandoning its nuclear program but insists he could still walk away he's holding out the carrot of better international relations for pyongyang and the stick of many more sanctions if it all falls apart japanese prime minister left the white house having played his part in a typical trump cliffhanger watching him the world to stay tuned to see what comes next alan fischer al-jazeera washington. well that looming chem cam trump summit is likely to be a key area of discussion for the russian president vladimir putin has just arrived in china for talks and change in ping he has a welcoming ceremony and beijing the start of his state visit cause i was a lot for a slowing she's live for us in beijing for us what's putin doing in china.

well he's here for the meeting between these summits for over a year or shanghai corporative organization this is a regional bloc led by russia and moscow it's sort of seen as a counterweight to the order in which a lot of the groupings a lot of the blogs. by the u.s. and its western allies now and the two countries china and russia are drawing increasingly close and this is driven in part between by the personal relationship between the two leaders a lot of uprooted and china's president paying these two are said to enjoy quite a close friendship in fact chinese newspapers have really. largely a putin ahead of his visit to china with one newspaper even proclaiming that chinese netizens are by putin's charisma number the two countries also have jus

political reasons for becoming close and warming that ties this is because they want to challenge the existing world order as i said which is known dominated by the u.s. and it also comes at a time when their individual relationships with the u.s. are becoming more difficult now for russia it's now being investigated for its meddling in the u.s. election and it also is facing western sanctions because it's an extension of crimea back in two thousand and fourteen so it's increasingly finding itself having to turn to china for trait for china i mean it's in the midst of a possible trade war with the united states allies and it also is being it's being criticized and it's being challenged by the united states in the south china sea where the u.s. has criticized china's increasing militarization of disputed parts of the south china sea so in essence these of of the factors that are drawing these two
