i'm christine window welcome to news africa i'm glad you're chewing did well kicking off and gone it's a day a small town called known for its tough streets so what makes it special while this town in the capital accra has produced some of africa's greatest boxes guys like richie cole me. like course they and joshua cross these are just three of the five world boxing champions that hail from tangled anyways and it's no surprise that most of gone as national champions all from there so my colleague forester cora visited where she met an aspiring boxer well while champion dreams. the more new routine of a champion. a german gets ready for his first run of the day right here in

book almost grind out a living from the fishing treat but fenech says it's not much of a life he has dreams and boxing could be his escape routes. as a fisherman serial gets enough money. to take care of us. i say young boy you have to work to get. five and these streets have turned out some of the best fighters in africa. people here live crowded together from a young age kids learn to fight for what they want to own the town is sometimes referred to as the unofficial university of boxing and a victory in the rink a fast track to fame and fortune people here saying feliks has all the right

stuff to make a big ever wonder why our ball felix is very good he does well in the boxing ring. he often knocks out his opponents in round two. he doesn't waste time and energy at all we support him we are as fans and wherever he goes we follow him to give him the support he means very not a one yet say that every night. feliks trains here of the bronx boxing gym a favorite destination for buck says who hopes to make it big. it's one of those things make chief gene scott talk about cross town. jen as young as six come here every day after school to practice. coach jocose says to come has all the right ingredients to produce champions because. it is a challenge there's a lot of things you don't model put

a plug things in this thing does this region. so that tells you the challenge in a competition when it comes to food. he says it's this intense competition that took pales in many books that's from a book called to succeed. no course starts at the gym fifteen years ago and formed six hundred failed why feats he says to give the kids here hope for a better future. over here most of the boys on this fall from the street and if you want to take them out on the street to come visit. you will go to the gym and read stuff and pin you're talking every month. judith told you i will be going to the gym and you knew to be doing a figment give the money to get some food or get something to support and so that she would become more difficult for you also to know how to keep. people

well we have to use to good flow cool just one day the boys who make it big we'll come back to help the gym and the community. but all feliks con fink about right now is once he can achieve beyond a book called. i want to be a return to life if. i want to be there today the fact. you're going to be going to i'm going. to fire him both soon you'll be going. for now it's a dream to cease from the streets because who. will be sure to bring feet expect on when you bags his first major title or write so to me as president by is in ethiopia and i want to talk about europe's relationship with africa here because my is a visit to ethiopia is essentially an endorsement to prime minister mates reform agenda so is europe saying to africa do what we like and will bring the money is

that the case and if that is the case is it fair and then it begs the question has europe changed the way it deals with africa now face this have a listen to what the german president had to say when he was talking about ethiopia . i've come to a country that has changed a country that is rising and renewing itself. and i believe i can speak for everyone visiting here with me that we have tremendous respect for what still has to be done we admire your courage it took you to begin peace reforms. all right i want to bring in more joy he's a blogger and political commentator from nigeria he's in our studio costs for us all right j.j. it's good to see you so we're talking about you know real reform and investment and we've just heard from the german president talking about the changes that they're seen in ethiopia and how happy they are about it but i wanted to get your sense of whether or not you feel that this is the right way to go about approaching africa

in this way. i think there's a bit of you that says. there's a bit of a doubt since people critical because our don't think that germany should be in a place to throw or to tell african countries if you do would do this i think. investing in a country should be based on your own interests and i think it's often based on individual interests that seem to not qualify you to reward for good governance is unfair of course that's also think from do you for that i mean hopping in here are the reasons being open political prisoners being freed the people from exile coming by are the parts we retreat from is an election i think anything very very beautiful please them is going to be invested in it to p.r. it should be based on also miscues of good governance or reforms that does not looks like germany has refused to grew it with from its parts and i used to can you

should just like most of the west we africans i don't think that's a good reason to come into our free throw you to be i think you really should always be or not equal level relationships because something good is happening in welcoming you know because your your dream reforms or your you know reasons these are good things was not something i did and he should be telling us ok all right take a point there but i want you to stay on the line because i want us to pay a statement by the deputy prime minister if you have a listen to that and then we'll pick up the conversation. if you are now wants to show some courage it must have the strength to face the issue of the call in isolation of africa i'm tired of talking about the effects of migration i want to start tackling the causes. of the causes of the lack of development in african countries. because instead of helping them in africa we must leave them in peace. ok just so we're hearing the italian deputy prime minister saying you know france

is involvement in in parts of west africa is essentially impoverishing these countries and and causing people to me to to to countries like europe or continents like you have i wanted to get your reaction to that. first of all let me say it i look i've been i've been involved in mid-season. regional it was across the continent from do not see the southeast where also the diaspora traveled across towards speaking of africa are missing a few thousand and one thing definitely comes across there is a sense of neocolonial easy to do very much in africa hundred biggest representation of new communities him in africa life for us so we know that there is nothing new that can be said by the italian prime minister maybe doing new things that this is coming from each of you from the prime minister you can you maybe he for reasons looking into the middle it's also quite interesting that he's speaking of you know because france has always done these over the years but because equally tough is beginning to feel the impact of the some of the

consequences of france's presence in africa going to need to run some economies very very much involved in the political and economic on sometimes the real cultural realities of some fourteen african countries even though it's more so there is nothing new nothing new has been said this is true we know that is just really nice and easy it's coming from the italian prime minister it gives the reality of migration all right a.j. and so what we've got to sort of the european model right for you reform and we'll invest but there is also another bass player on the continent and that's china and the model damon so most will bring that many ways that business case and will look away when get involved in terms of your domain sycophants what are you hearing from people you've talked about the africans that you engage what model do they prefer and what is the base model for this continent. see because no one's apricots of the session are lies we don't want on as such and i like this on the out of africa so whatever whatever reason that would require on our pool of good rules and what

our european countries some song we know it's to events in germany in the us in asia should be the same reason that they invest in africa i don't like to see the chinese model the. were. whatever i hear is ok. because as an artist also whatever he does turn are different things. like that i don't think that's good enough ok. or not our preconceived ok because they are. already calling for you because you interest which is often the case. ok all right j.j. everywhere in the world all right we appreciate your views j.j. nigerian blogger thank you very much coming to us from lagos. ok so here's what i want to get in before we wrap up today have a listen to an appeal the newly crowned miss senegal made for young people to stay

in africa and shape the future rather than seek their fortunes. we young africans have to believe in africa because it's our continent it's the continent of the future. we have to be proud to be african we need to change this mentality they must study train themselves because they represent the future so for me if you saw eleven yes. that's it from the news africa for now i'm keen to know what you think about that and all the stories we have today you can catch all our stories on our website and i'll facebook page and i'm on twitter at seven many of you now with pictures from the beauty contest into our way of the very proudly african alberto diaz who was crowned the new miss stand up in my name to show how we say talking about it by.
