legal entry into europe for more than just a few thousand selected refugees is something the african union is also demanding and it has its own plans for inner african migration. one hundred eighty five percent of my response is within africa. that's an established product however are starting from china you seen. it continents we've been putting in place if you know if free movement protocol which is in three parts of foster is a bullish of research and mashed one is arrested it i mean domestic versus a right of first operation so. we have put in money demands of migration on the continent in a more legal framework. to watch if. it's its if it's in cubans on our european partners with the our own experience to also support those what nots to undermine it there because of disparate policies to keep people out. but the e.u. steadfastly rejects this claims. he seems to me quite the complex reasoning that if we are managing and helping them in order to say manage their space you know for their own purpose mccauley our shop it's easy i'm paying their fair project it seems i work with africa's

our both unions in abidjan last november was key thanks to the excellent cooperation between the african union the european union and the united nations we have fun through today helped over thirty thousand people to leave libya through voluntary humanitarian of returns. we want to expand their work with our partners in other areas for education investment and development climate change and free trade will be at the heart of our future relations africa the continent of great challenges but that does also a continent of equally great opportunity. instability in libya has brought the world's attention to the suffering caused by human smugglers and traffickers who take good all advantage of people and weaken their state in which they operate. the security council named sam of world violator of love john day and. should be sanctioned apprehended and brought to justice in the meantime they rip young young honorable work diligently and in good faith with our now of african partner found furch and rescue efforts in the mediterranean on the collective responsibility of effective solutions to global ph

in austria in december with with countries inside the north of africa and the african union to try to shore up this this entire plan they did that the logic of it is is that the egyptians are really very good at stopping people from from getting out of the country and as sebastian coe said in that in that sound bite there actually managed to stop people leaving and take them back to egypt and so then opens the question up well how far does the european union want to go with a certain briefings i've had today if you say to them well if boats come out from the libyan coastline would they then be taken to egypt instead and they say well that would be very nice but it's early days and we don't really know yet and so the idea that egypt is effectively going to be off shored for sorting out europe's migration problems is is is very early in the thinking but it seems to be what they are actively describing is a new strategic partner a country they have identified specifically as one they can see that they can deal with and it does raise also questions all these countries are very happy to gi

for development egypt is about to assume the presidency of the african union in twenty nine and we look forward to strengthening the strategic partnership between the union and the united nations through programs that have a real impact on the continent and building on the progress made to consolidate. the policy of the african union come for critical structure and development. this is in addition to egypt's hosting of the african union center for post conflict reconstruction development and the community of foreign states counterterrorism center second we need to continue our efforts to implement the initiative launched by egypt during the membership of the un security council to put in place a comprehensive international framework to develop policies and both cooperation in order to counter terrorism and terrorist narratives in this context we welcome the secretary general's initiative to convene the un conference on counter terrorism last june. following your degree view of the united nations count there is a strategy. you know it. as you're aware where egypt is engaged is the beginn

unanimously a resolution in which they express their concern at the ongoing violations in burundi the african union is trying to be engaged and the community of east african states is supposed to be involved in attempted mediation but at present the government of brindisi is refusing to cooperate with any form of regional or international mechanism and that's the real problem it's putting pressure on burundi to get them to begin to cooperate with other mechanisms ok. thank you very much for taking the time to bring them to join us there from geneva and shed some light on the situation in burundi. now in just a few moments we'll have kevin yet with all the weather and then still ahead on al-jazeera faceoff in a show lanka as the four presidents coalition tries to unseat the current leader. from flowing the island winds to an enchanting desert breeze. we have had plenty of stories this season about the monsoonal moisture and the rains that have come out of india parts of bangladesh as well as men mark we have one more for you this is from here michelle pradesh where heavy rains have really taken a ho

and the african union has agreed on the plan africa twenty sixty three. we must insist that they stick to this then we can support them it will only succeed if the commitment comes from the african states and their leaders themselves for fighting corruption equal rights and the full participation of women. i'm convinced that africa's women are a crucial key to success because i wouldn't. you say fighting corruption how can you ensure that the money you put into africa will not end up in the hands of the corrupt elite as it so often does. or. not a single euro of german taxpayers' money will go to corrupt elite or corrupt states . we only fund our own projects. i mentioned china when it comes to development china is a step ahead with beijing is now investing another sixty billion dollars in the african continent to safeguard a supply of the natural resources of the chinese the new colonialists in africa. i'm not happy with a lot of the things that they are doing there. but we cannot simply condemn the chinese as the infrastructure they are creating is very

african union force in somalia. these infrastructure projects are they a one way street what are the benefits for commissions. well it's interesting that you mention that because one of the issues that the united nations secretary general antonio guitarist did bring out with sustainable fiscal policies going forward now that china has pledged another sixty billion looking down on the ground you do see some kind of laxity when it comes to labor policies only by relations between china and african countries you're not seeing a lot of absorption of local work because in some of these projects but then also in trade that needs to be some sort of balance for example kenya imports goods from china worth three hundred ninety billion dollars and kenya only exports to china goods worth nine point nine billion dollars so people are saying that there must be some sort of balance in the trade. from nairobi thank you very much. that's it for me and the business team here in berlin thank you very much for watching give up your bu

justice and what the peace deal promises is a hybrid court which would be administered by the african union and despite that promise the south sudanese government again we're looking to president here hasn't signed the key documents and left that forward so at this point we're thinking you the president here does follow through on a commitment to the courts so that all south sudanese have a chance for justice or maybe the african union has to find ways to move forward on its own. very much taking the time to join us there from new york a protest has been held in the yemeni city of tire ahead of friday's un led peace talks to end the country's three year war the protesters are calling for the warring parties at the geneva meeting to address the plight of tarsus residents they've been living under siege for years friday's talks with the first between yemen's government and who's the rebel since two thousand and sixteen it's unclear if a delegation from the rebels will show up. at this hour journey even before the start of the geneva talks to who these claim they have the right to control and

we have talked about the african union. it is still called. no action, talk only.e have to make it happen. rishaad: china's africa policy has shifted. -- a clearer line. beijing created a new development agency in april, 2018. it is expected to play a larger part in government strategy as the role is reduced. >> it is one of the criticisms china gets. it is offering these loans. they are originated by the african countries, they are the ones asking for it. i do not think they are trying to shape the future of africa. rishaad: that is not to say aid and lending will not be influenced by commercial interests. interests which some say still have access to resources at their heart. chinese companies see an abundance of opportunities in the rebounding economy. green light to raise presence under the initiative. while china sees huge investment opportunities, what about your average portfolio manager or retail investor? can they come along for the ride? >> if you want to invest directly in the belt and road initiatives, you cannot do it directly. what you are investing s

look right now they have investigations going on ten of them are against african countries the african union suggested that african countries several years ago dropped out of the i.c.c. if they are signed on to it they call it the i.c.c. the international caucasian court so they don't like it for their own reasons many of the african countries so it's not just the united states and russia and china and the aforementioned i think what's going on here is the i.c.c. is now threatening as i mentioned to investigate investigate the war crimes against the united states against afghanistan i mean that gives them the authority to issue warrants indictment seize the united states nationals anywhere in the world so it's more than just symbolic you know with all due respect it's more than just symbolic hey let's just talk about this they have powers as a matter of fact every indictment and that's been handed down and every warrant that's been issued has been against a member of an african cause a coup or look into war crimes who then those who follow you can't let it go unpunished you can't let it go o

countries and the austrians a separately going to host the african union at another summit in austria in december and the plan is because they regard egypt as being a basically a tightly controlled country which people can't escape from as they can with libya they regard egypt as being the country they can work with to basically potentially at least put migrants and asylum seekers there potentially if people are picked up at sea take them to egypt there's the complete agreement from the european countries who don't want to host refugees here themselves they will pay ages to do this and even though it's quite embryonic it appears to be a very stable relationship that the european unity egypt potentially have so this is. presumably enormously lucrative for egypt and similar saying it's lee. for human rights groups will raise all sorts of questions about whether or not it's all appropriate for the european union so the outsourcing of migrant issues a country which has such a poor human rights record and i like it or not breaks it is on the agenda of this summit as well as that bu
