the military. come from the past. week. this is africa coming up in the next 15 minutes libby is a detention same tennis they house african migrants who have been unsuccessful in trying to reach europe by boat the conditions are appalling but even so the sub migrants are said to be paying to get into them. and women working in technology all it's rare breed an african is pledging to take 628

a nigerian women doing something about that. at once a reality where more women are being pushed to go to school more where more know are being empowered attributes to go to school and. skills that are pink aborts moros wall. hello i'm christine wonderwall come to africa it's good to have you along we have reported on a lot on this program about the conditions migrants trying to reach your face when they get stranded or detained in libya we've heard from some of the migrants themselves as well as from rights groups calling the world's attention to the situation and that situation is still die the u.n. recent fees say the african migrants stuck in the be all so desperate that they are paying bribes to get into detail. where they live like prisoners and comfortable as

that may be it's safe but outside. it is one of the most hostile countries on earth at the moment with forces fighting for a un backed libyan government against a militia that's already taken control of most of the east of the country. and caught in the middle of. refugees inside and outside a number of detention centers the centers may be crowded not altogether safe because of the military engagements and frequent shelling but there is a sense that something good may happen some day outside these detention centers kidnappers were extortionists human traffickers you have to get to go easy of people you know people who have been meaning to stiff teat when they try to to leave libya and they see on boats on they have been brought back to detention center when you have this break individual. to detention centers sometimes be to

get inside it and some of them prefer to be detained. turbo. soon since i was born. there is desperation to get out of libya even by way of the dangerous road crossing the mediterranean but that often leads anyway to being sent right back to one of 19 official detention centers where thousands wait for other countries to open their doors the un needs massive help to resettle the refugees but also to help the african countries from where they come to be free we are able to meet their needs many. new keesha information or training job placement in those countries do some people many will do is we should you would not feel the who. want to try to to seek a better future by going through the path through libya at present is difficult at

best deadly at worst. my guest today is the spokesperson from the un refugee agency charlie exley joins me from geneva welcome to day to africa charlie let's sort of by establishing who is responsible for these detention santas and who what is the policy around who should be housed in them. well 1st of all i think we have to make a distinction between this is hinson's and his we have the official detention centers and the unofficial detention centers 1st of all the official detention centers these are run by the offish to libyan authorities and typically this is where people are brought after being intercepted see by the libyan coast guard and here. has some access to these senses it's not unrestricted we are limited into which parts of the senses we can go to and for how long but we are

able to at least provide some assistance on the other hand the un officials and we know there are many of these as well these are run by smugglers and traffickers and they operate on an unofficial capacity outside the usual structures of the state and here is where we see the real most horrific abuse is taking place and you in a start of the humanitarian agencies we simply have no access because of the dangers involved so many migrants as as is the u.n. has saved hope to get into the detention centers that the u.n. h.c.r. can access to some degree their hope is that they will be resettled triffitt country is there any appetite from from other countries to take on some of these people. well the fact that this phenomenon is taking place at the top i think really speaks

to the desperation of the current situation inside syria we know that inside the detention centers there are appalling conditions there have been widespread reports of human rights abuses taking place so i think we can really be in no doubt that this is a option of desperation for the people who take it they feel they have no other choice in terms of the evacuations and the resettlements the do take place this is done people are given priority based on vulnerability criteria so typically the kind of profiles that might be selected are all phones or maybe survivors of torture rule or sexual abuse it's the people most at risk. china who is responsible for migrants that are stranded in libya today.

well it's the responsibility of the state to ensure the protection in safety of refugees and migrants the same as it's their responsibility for the protection of civilians in the country but of course when you have a war like situation that can become very difficult and is becoming increasingly difficult as the fighting that began in april intensifies at the same time we know the conditions in libya right now to some degree i think there is also a collective responsibility among the international community to come to the assistance of people who've not only fled war in violence in their home countries have also ended up in this situation in libya often as a result of putting their lives in the hands of smugglers and traffickers who made

them false promises of own with servile to europe that's the u.n.h.c.r. as charlie x.e. talking to us from geneva thank you. the tech world is still a man's world and that's very true in africa where women say they have had a hard time getting into the industry and once they're in it doesn't get easier women often don't get the same opportunities as men not take companies have been talking about closing the gender gap but you're about to meet one woman who isn't waiting for them and is doing it herself. a laptop on the internet was all. needed to start her company gets. it's an online learning platform that is specially designed to teach women it's a science and computer program and also connects them to potential employers

every student housing accountability partner and success coach pretty much to help them go through the program so like you asked we only meet him once into once once in 3 months so that if i walk on a project together but it just helps for starting you the community for ha this kind of community is important to encourage more women to get into the mill domini to tech space every sense report shows that's in sub-saharan africa only 3 out of 10 professionals in science technology engineering and mathematics are women in an effort to close the gap she has made the program flexible enough so that even we men with food time jobs and families who want to transition into tech can easily participate. realestate and this for me is one of her

students if aware if a school course or an. office have to be going to class on all dogs it would have been much more difficult for the flock like him so i can take time out whenever i find as much as wholesome to cultural it's really what is needed. very easy somewhat meeting to culture on the course and to embark upon it in the 1st place no such a request was alluded who wants to use tech to solve nigeria's housing problems that's the kind of problem even allo see it tells this panel she's equipping has to dance for him. less than 2 years 93 remain has passed through the program and most of them are now working in tech jobs i want to society where wages kids and more women i once a reality where more women are being pushed to go to school more where woman i've been empowered attribute to go to school and learn the skills that i pick up or to

somewhere as wall to be relevant in africa future technological disruption for even aloes it is important that more women start pursuing tech careers. rugby's biggest tournament is underway in japan and the good news of africa one of the only 2 african teams in the tournament has made it to the samey finals and all the springboks is win against host japan on saturday with the sweetness off advantage 4 years ago japan ended their world cup dreams now it would be an understatement to say south africans will enjoy and to support their team are delighted so i feel very proud i think this is a tough match yeah japan has been playing field you during the tournament into good stages they won 4 out of 4 games and they once beat us in the but still was a bit nervous but yeah it's really nice to be in the semifinals we also were so
