separating fact from fiction. south africa's soul which will gospel choir hits a number of high notes at the grammys we'll get reaction to the group's grammy winner. i'm christine window welcome to news africa i'm glad you're tuned in african leaders have gathered for the twenty nine thousand a year summit and this year the mass movement of people was the emphasis statistics from the united nations show sub-saharan africa hosts eighteen million forcibly displaced people that's more than a quarter of the world's refugees population now experts say the number is rising because of ongoing conflicts conflicts in countries like in south sudan so malia

and now among the top countries hosting refugees in africa is kenya which is home to one of the biggest refugee camps in africa correspondent catherine on one visited kakuma camp where projects to empower refugees through a settlement scheme has been piloted. gena from the rural fled south sudan in two thousand and sixteen with her six children now she lives here in ca. it's part of the kakuma refugee camp in the remote and arid region of northern kenya. and it's also where genesis calls home. so that when i get money i will send the other three children i don't think i will go back to south sudan there's no stability yet the idea behind calibrating is to help the refugees become self-sufficient that's why genesis been provided with a semi permanent house a water tank and space for a kitchen garden jennifer also risk east when she sells and eats for food it's not

much but jennifer makes to. not far from her place construction is going on. is getting ready to house more people. but the problem is. kakuma refugee camp located in one of kenya's most marginalised areas and some citizens say they don't see the benefits of having the camps here. that's kind of a market james is waiting for a customer the twenty year old a kenyan from a nearby village says he moved here to find work he doesn't think it's fair that the refugees are given help with his village just struggling. mostly because problem is water have it rough. we have to bring them closer to the refugee camp if they are to survive. it's only the refugees that get water not the house community . while the

several water points have been colored the whole community only has one function and. sometimes locals are forced to dig wells of the seasonal river in order to find water the agreement between the kenyan government and non-governmental organizations working here is a fifty fifty policy that means the local community supposed to get whatever manatees the refugees get the putting that into place seems to be a challenge. i don't think even follow that rule even though it's using force. the hope is that color will grow into a town where refugees and the host communities live together. maybe that james can start seeing the benefits of having refugees like jennifer in his home area. all right to go to. marry again ethnically a school is covering the african union summit for us hi maria good to see you so

refugees were at the top of the agenda this year what was the outcome of that discussion. so that this year's summit was force this placement and the root causes of these migrations were given critical or attention africa hosts over one third of the world's refugees and internally displaced persons and the primary reason why those people have to see their home is armed conflict so earlier today a smile shared t.v. at african union a basket or two of peace and security you spoke about the situations in countries such as somalia the central african republic as well as libya in this context i also asked him about the root causes of terrorism in the region. africa is was a list of continents for. this event he chose to do anyway important i mean tourism did not start to you you know what it started in afghanistan and davis west

so i think those who fight is on to those who destroyed libya. is the first responsibility now to help and support african countries to deal with terrorism. ok maria so this is that a year's head of peace and security he's saying people are moving around because off terrorism terrorism doesn't come from the continent we've imported it to quite he's would say is he saying that people other than africans have to fix this problem well it seems like he's pointing out that the international community has its share of responsibility and that it should help in finding solutions to the conflicts involving terrorism but at the same time during use britain who clearly said that we should allow their countries to address their own issues by themselves and that they should secure conditions so that gives and is achieved with the internal parties of the conflict all right that's quite an interesting one they

have but i just know what was some of the other highlights at the sea is the summit maria. so one highlight where of course the fact that the subject marks the beginning of the egyptian president are pretty new following the chairmanship of paul kagame right the first time in history actually that egypt will take the helm of the organization and this also comes as relationships between egypt and the african union have not always been so good good egypt was excluded yeah you in two thousand and thirteen so i can be anticipated after a year focused on presidential matters and institutional reforms that egypt will put the focus on security issues and he's also very supportive of the african continent through trade area which might come into effect here are i thank you for your fabulous reporting mary i guess. from the twenty nine african union summit

that is of a thank you ok nigerians head to the polls this weekend and we'll be bringing you reports from the country all throughout the week we kick off our coverage today by introducing you to some of the people fighting fake news which is increasing in the country as the general election approaches. in ones in her team in the guardian's digital newsroom check the top social media topics every morning on twitter and it wiser to the nigerian president alleges that an opposition party is offering food and money in exchange for votes the news spreads quickly so the guardian team decides to investigate. events that are not yours and i i mean the photograph dated as far back as twenty seventeen it was a photograph from an outreach done by charlie to foundation in may that's so it wasn't what she said it wants. shortly after the guardian publishes its findings

the politicians tweets are deleted the team here say they see fake stories like this every day. so if it's text it's a lot easier in the sense that you just mentioned a few people. who are making this claim seen this happen at the press and if it. is somewhat easy i mean it technology is quite simple to hire you can read. the whole lot of them but when it's videos they become to be complicated because. you have the metadata stripped off and sometimes that's what you need actually to track so. complicated and then audio files. to check these kind of stories the guardian has teamed up with some twenty other media outlets they've formed a collective called cross check nigeria to support each other in the research process a story only goes online when four of the different media organizations have looked

at it. is one of the coordinators around fifty journalists involved in the project. everywhere in the world even in the us in the most advanced technology. politicians would always use any means to gain advantage if you. information do we do that what you see the important thing is that. once the do we try to make use of technology. out. reduce the incidence of. weaponize information for advantage to do damage. the number of fake stories has increased in the run up to the elections nigeria is the most populous country in africa and it's divided along ethnic lines which often leads to conflict according to nigerian police they have already been cases of false reports causing violence
