because africa house appropriation of about one point to be neutral possible politico about five hundred million i know you look at g.d.p. g.d.p. oh obama's have been ten trillion dollars africa you find it g.d.p. less than three trillion and now that you're talking about. allow me if you're talking a lot more unity excuse me let's give us more opportunity when it comes to even broader look at it the opportunity european one has to go to africa is quite higher than the opportunity and africa has to come to europe because when you go to the embassies you see the kind of. treatment the european embassies were given to offer it will get to migration in just a second i want to challenge all of something like you said about dr adams and i'm going to jump in and ask for a question you talked about figures and the e.u. being able to trade it huge quantities but the e.u. is also trading with each other interest in you trade is that seventy percent and intra africa trade is at sixteen percent we are not trading with each other so the question is why do we expect trade with the e.u. to be better i

house would be like. now with a population set to double in africa within the next thirty years the pressure on the already struggling housing market could get worse for many the solution is to live in makeshift shelters like shocks but is this really a long term solution in this week's streets debate our reporter either to money speaks with residents in nairobi slum districts kabera to gets to the heart of the issue. we are in nairobi kenya more specifically kibera it is infamously known as one of the biggest slums in africa and when you look at it it's easy to see why i mean people are packed into really small shacks in a really small area and it really goes to show how big the problem of housing in this country is and i want to begin with someone who actually lives here. he tells me his name means navy blue but you say living here is not so pleasant when you. everything is sounding a little depressing right now but where is the problem i mean you are in the construction business you made your work is to ensure that not only do we have housing but the proper house is always a problem all these years as w

we can highlight the example is an africa house watts of example or even governments for some of the other functioning isn't too strong like zimbabwe manages to keep its primary health care system functioning fairly well some that are fairly well off like nigeria actually particularly in the north don't manage to make the primary health care system work well so when leaders are interested in improving then there are lessons you know from ethiopia or wander many many countries that can be applied so we're here to help when there's the will to go in and make that effort and i want to talk about the size and scale of. the gates foundation which i understand is the largest philanthropic foundation in the world. you're spending about forty five billion dollars every year i mean not as much as or more than the entire government budgets of many of the countries in this continent so that comes with of course an enormous amount of influence you're a very big player in terms of global health care have an understand that the trust is controlled by just three people that you and your wife melind

the thoughts of the street to us let's continue this now with a man a researcher of the africa program of chatham house joins us via skype from london . it seems in the people we're speaking to it seems with the pictures we're seeing that people are not buying the play by omar. what options does that leave the military with at this point. well the mentors do has plenty of options and i think they have an important role as being the custodian of security and stability in the country but the role should extend to finding a way to as soon as possible transfer power to a civilian lead that ministration i think you're hearing plenty of voices and that is the sudanese people and they do not want to stop short of that bishan after thirty years of rule by a president arm of bashir and that is what people are calling for and that therefore needs to be a mechanism that will come through the discussions that military transitional council has weighed the broad range of opposition political actors in the country to try and shape a way forward clearly if the demands of the people. and not satisfied they will continu

center for policy research and from london we have paul malley a consulting fellow at the africa program at chatham house welcome to all of you thank you very much for being on the program i'd like to start with you adam day and ask you to put it in context with us why is for us why is missed my known as the us most dangerous mission thanks so much i mean for very basic reasons it has the highest number of casualties one hundred ninety five casualties since its deployment and it is facing asymmetric threats that don't exist really anywhere else in the u.n. system although there are other challenging environments and so it really is that immediate the immediate threat but it also has to do with the scope of the mission the mission is deployed over a huge area often without the resources to necessarily cover that area with the mandate it's given and as you see the conflict spread from the north down to the center and across the region it's being asked to do more with the same amount of resources that it had before so i think it's that combination of immediate threat with one hundred. these last year alone

consecutive elections in twenty ten and twenty fifteen well amid solomon is a researcher in the africa program at chatham house and he joins us now via skype from london thanks for being with us we're obviously getting developments as azen went straight out of khartoum what do we expect what do you expect to happen today. with the reports about. want to pass. down in the next minutes in the next hour. as we've just been talking about he has a warrant out for his arrest from the i.c.c. what are his options if he does indeed if he is indeed forced to step down by the army. but i still think that the president has our friends i mean he spent the last thirty years working to insulate his regime and i think there is a deep web we're seeing that. pick over the last months and particularly over this last week but he has created more or security forces shadow party militias and has an extremely powerful intelligence and security service that we've seen trying to infiltrate and disperse these protests and also find a way around removing the protesters so there are some fears that you know that this movement might becom

billions of dollars to khartoum in recent years but this week now to john temin who's the africa director of freedom house he's joining us live from boston thank you very much for talking to us what's your impression of the inclusive ety if you like of these forces that are meeting with the military council to try to negotiate some way forward. i think it is progress and the fact that forty eight hours ago yes wasn't happening in the military was trying to take the reins on their own to go from that to what seem like real negotiations in a matter of a couple days is meaningful i think the military and others are clearly getting the message now that protesters and civilians have to be a part of the conversation and have to have a substantial role in whatever formation there is going forward. but there is also a certain notice of of intransigence if you like coming from the protest movement it would appear insofar as there doesn't seem to be any compromise with some of them who want to complete civilian led transitional government rather than perhaps a collaboration if you like with the military well i'm no

but when i'm stunned at what that housing for the residents of africa does african city often urban living or does africa. for most africans urban living still means enduring slum conditions. says there's a need for this new generation of african designers to come up with solutions is going to strong belief in the things that we have experienced charles in this country and on this continent to do things right at this particular moment can africa rise to that challenge christian benny man and others are trying to make it happen. urban planning is a huge challenge how many cities can the climate cope with and what about human health according to the u.n. and pollution now contributes to the deaths of four million people a year so how can we keep the air in major population centers clean. cities have always had a strong appeal they offer medical care educational and job opportunities infrastructure and cultural institutions and other attractions is anything lacking at all yes nature but why do we need green spaces in cities. for food for example with so many people in

africa director at freedom house to talk through what i mean what do you think as i said to mohamed there it actually feels like there is more distance between these groups now whereas maybe a week ago they seem to be making some progress. that seems right and seems like the honeymoon period and some of the euphoria and optimism surrounding the initial change and the removal of bashir is wearing off as some of the political realities set in and as it becomes increasingly clear that the transitional military council doesn't have much intention of giving up power and doesn't have much intention of ceding to any civilian lead authority. that's not going to sit well with any of the protesters and a large portion of the sudanese population. this is the simplest question you probably get but why does the military not want to see how i think it's worth revisiting that for for of us. i think if you reasons why it is that they've had such power and control for decades and are quite accustomed to it's and accustomed to all the perks that come with it those perks include a lot of control over the su

let's bring in a man he's a researcher at the africa program in chatham house he joins us on skype from london good to have you with us sir. thank you although so far it doesn't seem like are more of the. same law of the day and has changed significantly the plan that the army announced yesterday for the transition period he does seem to be indicating would it be fair to say a lot of flexibility in how that plan is to be implemented saying well it could be less than two years well we might reinstate the constitution right. yes i think i think what we're seeing you know is a lot more flesh being written on the bones of yesterday's much briefer announcement about the military transitional council. and i think the army is very keen as we can see and you mentioned to appeal to people who sympathies you know people who have had sympathies and do have sympathies with the army and he's used very. firm to the army several times as opposed to the other military institution so i mean clearly as well. his interests has been to deep politicize the army to say look we are not a member or a part of t

khartoum many thanks indeed let's speak once again to ahmed soliman a researcher at the africa program of chatham house he joins us now live via skype from london you are with us during the press conference earlier that. aberdeen gave he had nothing but praise for the rapid support forces. during their press conference now it seems that they're not going to be part of the military council what's the significance of that. i think it's important i mean you have a clear division within the army the own forces i should say they have not been unified entity but the military council have been trying. as you saw present a united front and there has been some juxtaposition incident goshi a sheen i guess going on within the last couple of days as to who she will head to council what the role will be of the various organizations within that and of course the r.s.s. . led by the former. leader committee. seem to see and seem to be unhappy with the whether those and their position within that of course you know they they are as as was said during the statement they have been legitimized and actually included withi

we've reached out to the state department, the white house, the africa command, the u.s. command organization in africa, and we've yet to hear anything back. of course the u.s. was tracking the situation. we know the state department earlier issuing a warning to all u.s. citizens to stay away from that area, that border region between the democratic republic of congo citing criminal activity and the ugandan security forces rescue operation there so the u.s. state department was tracking the issue closely aware of the operation to attempt to recover one of its u.s. citizens. however, we've yet to hear anything about the successful recovery and, of course, reports that a ransom was paid. the u.s. government itself does not pay ransom to kidnappers. however, it is not able to stop individuals or companies, insurance companies from paying said ransoms, especially if it's to a criminal gang as opposed to some kind of terrorist group, but yet no official word from the u.s. government as to the successful recovery operation of the american citizen. fred? >> all right. any indica
