this is deja news africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes the african union sais twenty nineteen is the year of refugee with africa home to a quarter of the world's displaced people we'll take you to northern kenya where a concept to empower refugees is being highlighted. and fake news is on the rise in the run up to the election in nigeria will meet the people tossed with separating fact from fiction. south africa's still wishful gospel choir hits and then the high notes of the grammys we'll get reaction to the group's grammy winner. i'm christine window while the news africa i'm glad you are today in african

leaders have gathered for the twenty nine thousand a year summit 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. jennifer munro fled south sudan in two thousand and sixteen with the six children now she lives here and. it's part of the kakuma refugee camp in the remote and arid region of northern

kenya. and it's also where jennifer no calls home. so that when i get money i will send for the other three children i don't think i will go back to south sudan there's no stability 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 which she sells and eat her food it's not much but generous and makes do. not far from her place construction is going on kind of being is getting ready to house more people. but the problem. kakuma refugee camp are 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 when his village is struggling. most. biggest problem is water have it rough. we have to bring them closer to the refugee camp if they are to survive. and i've got to tell you the refugees that get water not the house community. while the several water points and then color the whole community only has one functioning. sometimes forced to dig wells of the seasonal riven 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 is supposed to get whatever manatees the refugees get the putting that into place seems to be a challenge. i don't even follow that route even though it's using force.

the hope is that grow into a town the refugees and the host community to 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 in particular attention africa hosts of 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 smiles showed you the accu african union a bastard or two of peace and security who 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 that africa is was the less prepared continent for. this event which has been in the way important i mean tourism did not start to you know what it started in afghanistan and daves west so i think those who for example those who destroyed libya. as 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 when i 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 his briefing who clearly said that we should allow the 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 there but i mean just what was some of the other highlights at this summit maria. so one highlight of course the fact that the subject marked the beginning of the egyptian presidency if you 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 in egypt and the african union have not always been so good good egypt was mixed with you in two thousand and

thirteen so i can be anticipated after a year focused much on presidential matters and institutional reforms is that egypt will put the focus on security issues and he's also very supportive of the africans continental trade area which might come into effect here are i thank you for your fabulous reporting mary i guess reporting from the twenty nine african union summit that is 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 and 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. the best known items and i i mean the photograph dated as far back as twenty seventeen it was a photograph from an outreach done by. 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 you know call up a few people. who are making this kind seen this happen you know the person if. it's also somewhat easy i mean it technology is quite simple to hire you can replace a whole lot of them but when it's videos to be considered to be more complicated because. you have the metadata stripped off sometimes as what you need actually to

track so. complicated and then the audio files. to check these kind of stories the guardian has teamed up with some twenty other media outlets they 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 museums.

out. reduce the incidence of. information for advantage to do. 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 so it's not only newspapers who are reacting to increasing levels of faking us also facebook. the issue. for ten steps this is how the tech giant is advertising in the traditional newspaper. you know a lot in ones observes a change in the news business rather than publishers competing against each other to be the first to break the story they are now working together to separate fact from fiction in times of falling newspaper circulation she says this could be an

opportunity for nigerian media companies. ok now southern africa was recognized at last night's grammy awards the soweto gospel choir scooped the best world album prize for their album freedom it's a musical tribute to nelson mandela now the choir posted a video of themselves posing with their ward on their facebook page if they have grammy win following successes in two thousand and six and two thousand and seven and them congratulations from south african president paul say he wrote on twitter we thank them for telling our story to the world and fly the flag high what a better way to in today's show than with some music from that winning album this is bella meaning train song it's about the long journeys made by black south african work his cheery part eight enjoy. playing.
