now on bbc news: whats it like being born to immigrant parents in a country where there is growing support for anti—immigration parties? bbc africa's daniel henry investigates how young people of african heritage are making their way in europe's big cities. when people ask, where are you from? they usually follow up with another question. where are you really from? i'm from cameroon, west africa. london. i'm from ghana. portugal. so i'm from somalia and my partners from ghana and my other partner is from morocco. my somali heritage, going back home, i wouldn't be considered fully somali. being here in sweden, i'm not really considered swedish. personal question, i know.

but for some, it's very political. look at the islamization of our country. there is a lot of morrocan scum in holland who makes the streets unsafe. integration, integration. and i ask what does that mean? growing up with the values of immigrant parents in a country where support is growing for anti—immigration parties, is not easy. so i wanted to find out if europe's changing political mood is affecting the way young people of african heritage are defining home and celebrating the culture they've been raised in. our parents came here, right? we are born here. somalia is not the same for me as it is for my mother. they just want their own culture. this is it, this is final. everything else is different, you know. go back to your own country. this is african diaspora diaries. my name is daniel henry,

i'm a bbc africa reporter. east london is home for me, it's where i was born, it's where i was raised and crucially, it's where i get my hair cut. good to see you. but if i'm talking about going back home, that's barbados and st lucia where my family comes from. it's always fun going back, but as i get older, i realise how special those trips were and it made me think, what if you've never been able to visit your country of origin? because it's a place your family left to keep you safe. how do you celebrate the culture of a country that you've never seen? where you're from, you're not going to forget where you're from, and how you are raised you're not going to forget how you are raised. all you're going to do is when you get to the new phase, you're going to add that to what is already you. you've got to deal with this place now which is not the place where you've come from, and you've also got to fit in. so you've got to deal with it. but how?

i headed to amsterdam to find out. hussein suleiman is the co—founder of a clothing line called daily paper. he was born in somalia and his family arrived in europe when he was a little boy. they are close to 2 million people in the netherlands with parents that emigrated to the country and call it home. so i'm from somalia and jefferson, my partner is from ghana. abderrahmane, my other partner is from morocco. blending those cultures like amsterdam and like our african heritage together that is literally the daily paper. daily paper is a reflection of the three founders. can you show me what it means? yeah, definitely. hussein has never been back to somalia, but he finds ways to show connections to the country through his clothing. what is it about that logo do you think represents? it's actually the masai shield. the masai is a nomadic tribe, wherever they go is their home. so we have the same

feeling. we relate to that. we're going to make him look extra pretty. ready for appelsap. ready for appelsap, what's that? applesap, it's a music festival. today? yeah, today. yeah, it's been going on for more than 15 years and one of my favourites. are you going too? yeah for sure, are you coming? all right, yeah. appelsap is literally like everybody from amsterdam and outside of amsterdam that loves hip hop culture that come together. what does this festival mean to you?

why did you bring us here? daily paper got big around the same time dutch hip—hop became big in the netherlands and one of the first supporters were people from the hip hop industry, they were the first people to really embrace daily paper as a label and yeah, they brought it to mass popularity. as we said a lot of time, hip—hop connects people. it brings so many different cultures together, if you look around you at this festival, there is evidence of that. and they're also telling our stories. a lot of the lyrics, what they talk about in their lyrics are our stories. who is here do you think who does that? i like yung nnelg, he's dope. he's an artist from amsterdam south east. just the way he makes his music...

0h, bleep, that's him right there. that's him right there, that's him. with the rugby shirt? with the rugby shirt. should we go and say hi? hi, yung nnelg. pleasure to meet you. i was just talking about you. no, we really were, we really were. he asked me what kind of music do you listen to and i was like yung nnelg. and there you are. tell me about people, the musicians like you of african descent who are making music here in holland. what kind of stories are you telling? 0k, basically i try to tell the story of where i come from and what my environment has taught me, like the norms and values that i got from my home, from my parents which are ghanian, and then like implying that with this dutch culture type of wave that we are in right now,

just combine those things together and that gets me. that's what i am. i know you're are going to go on the stage soon, so i'm going to let you go. really good to meet you, brother. thank you. it's really interesting walking around this festival and you see all of these artists of african descent who are headlining, all of these people that are running the show and then at the same time, you walk around and you see people who are wearing the clothing, the brands, the prints, that hussein and his team have been putting together for years and it's as though this part of amsterdam has reached a point where to celebrate being of african descent and to celebrate being dutch at the same time, that people here are comfortable with that. at appelsap you can wear what you like, but that's not true for everyone amsterdam. last year, the dutch parliament announced the ban on wearing the full islamic veil in some public places. and this man campaigned to make it happen. look at the islamization

of our country. there is a lot of moroccan scum in holland who makes the streets unsafe. the people want to be in charge again, it's not only america first, it's also holland first and that is what i try to accomplish. some people say you are a bit of a fascist. do not listen to those people. that is totally untrue. he leads the freedom party, the second largest in dutch politics and they called to ban the quran and shut down all asylum centres. ideas like that would make life even more difficult for hussein and his family. when they left somalia they claimed asylum in the netherlands. hussein was two years old. when i caught up with him in his favourite coffee shop he told me it's a part of his life that he hasn't forgotten. before we actually lived in our own house, we lived in a, how do you call this, like a asylum—seekers centre

and i think around that period we had a lot of refugees coming in from bosnia, serbia, around that area, and we used to live in the city which was outside of amsterdam in a big centre and i had a great time, because i'm young, i'm a kid and everybody around me are kids. when i think about it now with my adult mind... that place was really bad actually. it was kind of like a prison. we still did not go back to somalia, i think it's quite difficult. would you like to go? i would definitely like to go... but at the same time i don't because at the end of the day, we are always looking for a

place that you can really call home, right? eventually his family made a life in the netherlands, despite all he has achieved, he says that he is reminded that for some, it will never be enough. for me, growing up and always thinking that i need to forget my culture where i am from, that is what everyone tells you, you have to integrate. that was the most thing i've heard on the news, integration, integration, integration. what does that mean? what does that actually mean? so basically, whatever i had, i must strip that off and go become you. this kind of talk from politicians, from all of the world, not just the netherlands, all of europe, the united states, everywhere, i keep hearing this and i'm like, 0k. should i actually spend my time and energy trying to tell them to chill?

or should ijust accept the fact that a lot of these kind of, rhetoric comes from ignorance because they don't want to know about other cultures. they just want their own culture, this is it, this is final. and everything else is different, go back to your own country. he will not let his place in the netherlands or his connection to somalia be defined by people or politics. his co—founder, jefferson, agrees. he refuses to let others dictate what it means to be a young black man in the netherlands. i noticed it a lot from the surinamese demographic in holland, back in the day they used to tease a lot of people from african descent, you are like a smelling fish, they were used to teasing ghanians, nigerians and not knowing they're from the same continent.

because of all of those people teasing ghanians some people were even afraid to say they were from ghana, they would say they are surinamese just to be accepted amongst them. or they would have like dark skin, light skin complexities, you know. for me i was like, how can you be ashamed of where you're from, you know? we can't deny it, we live in a multicultural society so you have to be open for new things. it was funny during the world cup, you have some moroccans playing for the morocco team and a lot of dutch people were wearing moroccan jerseys and they rooted for morocco. so seeing something like that, i am very happy, i'm like 0k, we are getting there, there is some positive things going on. so yeah, i feel like people are getting more open and i feel like the new generation is going to definitely make a difference.

cherrie is a star in scandinavia whose family story starts in somalia. she runs her own record label and she has put out some big hits, like this one, that includes a shout out to somalia's capital. hip hop music when her family moved to escape the civil war, they headed to europe, first norway where she was born and then finland before eventually settling in sweden. around 280,000 somalis live in europe with sweden accepting more refugees in proportion to the size of their population than any other european country. herfamily have made a home here but her mother remembers the life they left behind. when you decided somalia was no longer safe

and to move from there to northern europe, do you think looking at what your children do now, the opportunities you have now, do you think it was worth it? i think i can answer that. a lot of somalian parents in europe and america and the diaspora, aren't really too happy to be living here. i think they are happy for us, but they know what they had to leave behind, a whole country that we loved that is war—torn. and we know what it used to be and how much better and how much of a paradise, and obviously, there's a lot of hurt there for somalian parents. but knowing the opportunities that the children have, they are very happy for it but there is definitely a bittersweet feeling to it. cherrie has never been to somalia.

most of her friends and memories were made here in the swedish suburb. good afternoon, i'm daniel, nice to meet you. one of the best that we have here. he is like an angel. he has looked after us. what stuck out when you first met and she came through? just like all the kids but she seemed more lively, more happiness, you could see that she was going to be a leader. so important to not only have her but have more of her.

it is tough, like living here is so tough and it is so hard for some people to see what we are doing that is good. so you have to do something better than good, than what other people do on the other side. for them to accept you. and she was among the ones who always fought to do something right, the best. lots of artists, they can sing. you can't learn nothing from what they sing. she is among the ones that can sing and you can learn something from them and when the kids see her they feel that this is something that we can learn from. and that is so important. she is here and i will never ever remove her from here. she is the best. families from all over the world live here. some have left countries of war to find peace. but some politicians have had enough. there is a connection

between immigration and crime. when you look at rape, for example, there a very is a very close connection for some immigrants from some countries like northern africa, the middle east. that's the leader of the sweden democrats speaking in 2010. fast—forward to the 2018 elections and he has a new message to go to the new suit as he redefines his pitch for sweden's voters. it was racism from the beginning but he has gone in front and changed that. too many immigrants. we should take care of those were here already 20 years and they cannot speak any swedish. when cherrie's family arrived

the sweden democrats were a fringe group. but they picked up support in the 2018 elections and now a far right party with origins in neo—nazism is the third largest party in swedish politics. when i caught up with cherrie at her studio the votes had not been counted yet. but she knew why the message is going mainstream. it is a thing of people all over the world not learning from past mistakes and what the older generation had done before us, for us it was the turkish and it keeps on going like that and we came in the early 20005, we came in a lot because of the war and everything that's been going on. and in the beginning they don't know how to speak swedish,

they can't get anyjobs, you know, and now you see like most of them —the lyricists are somalian and other people actually are doing a lot of stuff and people like me in music. hip—hop was not huge at all in sweden just a couple of years ago. but then we came into the mix. we are just really cool people but that's what it is, people just hate whatever is unknown, for instance, as a woman of somali heritage, going back home. i would not be considered fully somali. and being here in sweden, i'm not considered swedish. but i feel that both, but not fully, if that makes sense. because i've never been to somalia and i definitely do not feel swedish, i do not look swedish. so there's always been a

sense of uncertainty because of that. i do not have any roots like that anywhere and growing up, if you don't have that, that will confuse you. hip hop music we come from different backgrounds, the culture that have been a part of is where i've grown up amongst chileans and kurdish, turkish, iraqi, gambian, eritrean and ethiopian, somali, where i ate their food and spoke their languages and i feel like that is the culture that represents me the most. it came out of nothing, it came out of unity. so, i can make music that represents young somali girls all over the

world, but also that would hopefully give a better understanding to the older generation, our parents, grandparents, a better understanding of what we go through. because our parents came here, right? we are born here. so we have different experiences of what it means to be a refugee or what it means to be somali. somali for me is not the same for what my mum is. she knew it when it was peaceful, you know? i've heard stories about it. i'm never going to be able to know what it was.

i went to barbados so often, i thought that everyone did that. that everyone that was of caribbean or african descent just automatically went back. but seeing these guys, it showed me that even if you have not had the opportunity, there is still a way to create that connection and express that connection. that is a part of who you are. yeah. we have seen a bit more cloud across the uk which was noticeable across southern parts of england and wales. throughout the rest of the weekend it estate miles with southerly winds which will pick up over the next 24—hour race and we will see some rain coming in from the atlantic. if

we look at the bigger picture we have an area of low pressure to the west and that is the reason for that area of cloud which will bring in some rain from the west. ahead of that we have had rather grey and gloomy skies with the good part of the day across parts of southern england and south wales. further north, the best of the sunshine and temperatures. it is been sunny in scarborough. you can see the difference on the satellite pictures over the past few hours. you can see the breaks in northern england and the breaks in northern england and the cloud is pushing its way further north. it is scotland is seeing some sunshine but not much point northern scotland. not much sunshine for northern ireland but a mild day. they went picking up in northern ireland and well fresh and everywhere. some rain coming into northern ireland at times and western scotland, elsewhere dry. the low cloud will get pushed northwards out of the way by the end of the night. skies will be clearing for many places but it should not get

cold because of that breeze. we have got ragged rain coming in from the west, not much of it for western parts of wales and the fire south—west of england. eastern england and northern england as well. little bit of rain to begin the date for northern ireland and perhaps something a bit more substantial over the hill snow question scotland but for eastern scotland, it is still dry some sunshine. we have got some sunshine in the morning and it will cloud over more into the afternoon. there are not be much rain eastwards and most will be across the west of the uk. we will get some sunshine in the afternoon once that moves through and if you plaster showers. the winds will be if it stronger tomorrow but it is a southerly wind so tomorrow but it is a southerly wind so another mild day again. monday sta rts so another mild day again. monday starts with a lot of cloud across east anglia and the south—east of england with some drizzle in the morning. elsewhere, brighter skies but increasing numbers of showers in

western parts of scotland, northern ireland and west england. some can be heavy with thunder and hail. but not as mild as this weekend. we will keep temperatures on wednesday and tuesday. choices south—east it is still dry and bright with some at times. —— some sunshine at times. this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines: as her family ask the government to help bring shamima begum home, the justice secretary says the main priority has to be the safety of the public. a 27—year—old man appears in court, charged with the murders of three elderly men in exeter. thousands of criminals are to be monitored 2a hours a day, using gps tracking technology. the funeral of footballer
