6:05 pm
living in china who are blamed for the rise in factions mostly with very little evidence these violent incidents of now sparked a diplomatic row between africa and china. i completely drained my mind my poor case to an extent that what i was doing hours calling my mom back home to see. that i may be able to buy myself food and right now it has gone to an extent that i can not be able to ask her anymore back in kenya beatrice family war is about. all i ask myself and these people human enough we have the chinese people here and they treated well why are they doing this to our children and when she told me when she slept out on the floor.
6:06 pm
i just asked the government to help them. doesn't ask you i just had they're going to send a plane but how are they going to pay for it was an idealism of the g.d.p. in an in. but it's a cry for help that may go unnoticed the chinese ambassador to kenya dismisses cases like beatriz's with the diversions but 200 african migrants in china the tensions between them and the locals is still a reality they are facing my mom is very worried about me and all why she wants me is. we always. see if you. could buy many africans in china lives have been timed upside down and not disputed to be reunited with deferment is. the story let's bring in the

journalist fabio encrypts mose in beijing and is following developments for us fabienne you spoken to many african the migrants there in china how common is this kind of treatment. well i mean 1st of all i saw the social media poll stay mostly a curate in the southern chinese city where most of the african community lifts so i actually spoke to many migrants here in beijing because it's really highly restrictive travel in china and i was very shocked and also surprised to see that also in beijing most of the migrants told me very similar stories 141 year old man for example told me he was evicted from his home he was basically homeless now since february and 1 of his friends also said that now he's been getting 3 days off time to leave and the reason is that african community there were some cases off. $1000.00 cases and now there's almost a witch on so basically among the population that's a lot of folks and
6:08 pm
a phobia saying that the african community they are carrying the virus so the people are afraid so what about africans who have overstayed their visas their. well of course they live in a very precarious situation many of them who live in the gray zone or who are illegal here they've been kind of tolerated by the authorities but right now every movement district you have to hand in your phone you get your body temperature scan a q.r. code so nothing else being undocumented right now. so they are basically the 1st week right now and also because they have basically old victim of racial profiling i mean only africans are talking they have to go to county and to have to go testify well i'll go far enough for example let me they they are not touched by the authorities. china has long sought to exert more influence in africa has this search and racially charged violence affected ties. yet i find it quite
6:09 pm
remarkable because i mean china has expanded its investment towards many african countries also right now many african countries for example kenya that was mentioned in the. profile before they are demanding on facemasks shipments from from china still many investors there were quite outspoken when it came to criticizing the c.m. they said this discrimination has to stop and the chinese government also reacted and they started for example and to racism education in. this situation i mean catch me in beijing thank you very much it's time now for a quick look at some of the other stories making headlines today north korean media is not commenting on all sides speculation about leader kim jong un's house reuters news agency says senior chinese doctors have been sent to pyongyang on rumors that
