throughout the show corey i say young boy you have to work to get. to push yourself and be streets have turned out some of the best fighters in africa. people here leave crowded together from a young age kids learn to fight for what they want. that 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 say feliks has all the right stuff to make it big ever wonder why our ball felix is very good he does well in the boxing ring no he often knocks out his opponents in round two. peters always time and energy at all we support him we are his fans and wherever he goes we

follow him to give him the support he won't give not a lot of care when you assume that every night. feliks trains here at the bronx boxing gym a favorite destination for book says who hope to make it big. it's one of the dumbest things makes chief gene scott are the most talented. she jen as young as six come here every day after school to proxies. cook yoko says to come has all the right ingredients to produce champions because. it is a challenge and there's a lot of g.c.i. . model put a five things in this thing does this region. sort out tells you the challenge in a competition when it comes to. he says it's this intense competition

that book pales in many books that's from a book called to succeed. no core starts at the gym fifteen years ago and forms its himself why fix 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 you to get out on the street to come visit. you would be to the gym and register them being a took in every month. judical you out i will bring them to the gym you include the new putting it beat me to give the money to get some food or get something to support incentive to become more and difficult for you also to know how to keep helping other people but others well we have choose to do no cool just one day the boys who make a big will come back to help the gym and the community. but all feliks con fink

about right now is what he can achieve beyond. i want to be a legend tonight. i want to be achieved. you're going to be going to i'm going. to do for him both you nicole de borde. for now it's a dream should cease for the streets he calls home. we'll be sure to bring feed expect on many bags his first major title or right so jimmy 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 maids reform agenda so is europe saying to africa do what we'd like and we'll 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 removing 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 beast 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 it approaching africa in this way. i think there's a bit of you that says. there's a bit of a dozen people critical because our the one thing that germany should be in

a place to throw or to tell african corn trees if you do would you do is i think. the 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. from do phones that are being hopping in here are the reasons being open political prisoners being freed the people for. the two parts of its retreat from an election i think anything it's very very beautiful trees. is going to be investing you need to be based on views of good governance or reforms done looks like germany has refused to group from its parts and i used to commission just like most of the west weeks and weeks off without so i don't think that's a good reason to come into our free car or to be i think you really should always be or not you quote will relationship because something good is happening welcome you know because your your dream reforms or your open you know reasons these are

good things working is not something i germany should be telling us ok all right take your point there but i want you to stay on the line because i want us to pay a statement by the prime minister if you have a listen to that and then we'll pick up the conversation. if europe 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 at home. ok just so we're hearing the italian deputy prime minister saying you know france's involvement in in parts of west africa is essentially impoverishing these countries and and causing people to flee to to countries like europe or continents like europe i wanted to get your reaction to that.

first of all let me say that i look our being i've been involved. in region and it was across the continent from the north to the south east and west also. i would approach the world speaking on africa it's enough because in diaspora on one thing different he comes across there's a sense of neocolonialism to two very much in africa and the biggest representation of new communities in africa is friends so we no doubt there is nothing new to be said by the italian prime minister maybe the only new thing is that this is coming from the from the prime minister of you can you maybe he for reasons that you need to do it's also quite interesting are these speaking his view not because france has always done these over the years but because he's beginning to feel the impacts of some of the consequences of france's presence in africa are going to need to grow some economies very very much involved in the political and economic on sometimes it will cause your realities also fourteen african countries even more so there is nothing new nothing new has been said this is true you know that is just

a new thing is that it's coming from the italian prime minister it is the reality of migration yeah right j.j. so we've got the sort of european model right you reform and we'll invest but there's also another big player on the continent and that's china and the model there is almost will bring the money weight is a business case and will look away when get involved in terms of you don't mistake a face 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. because no one's africa to be such in our lives we don't want on such analysis on out of africa so whatever whatever reasons i would require who are somewhat our european countries some song we know it's. in in germany in the us in asia should be the same reason that they invest in africa i don't like the chinese model because the chinese model sort of enables the. so ship where the country knows that

whatever he or she. is as an artist also whatever he does turn are different things . like that i don't think that's good enough ok are doing. or not are because they're no good because they are. here i just think are you already country you've got zero interest which is often because you know the universe 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 one i want to get in before we wrap up today have a listen to an appeal the newly crowned miss sinegal made for young people to stay in africa and shape the future rather than seek their fortunes elsley. 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

a change of mentality they must study train themselves because they represent the future so for me if you saw eleven yes. that's a problem africa but 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 i'm on twitter at one point seven leave you now with take chips from the beauty contest into our way of the very proudly african alberta d.s. was crowned the new miss a nigga and i need to show you how we say talking about it by c.c. . using

germany to learn german. i learned from the you why not learn with him online a whole bottle and free. d.w.b. learning course speak. to the music so it's enough to. i think curves would be good morning stephanie. the current check. from around the world. starts february second.
