first eighty agreements a starting points in this case which were a certainty we're talking about east africa is that bolder approach or means the same across the continent now unfortunately it is not it really depends what country you're looking at the problem is an awful return rian countries in africa unions do not have enough breathing space to start challenging chinese companies and to start a negotiating with them and in the poorest countries it's also very difficult because unions need resources so that they can engage the companies for example to any money so that they can hire qualified negotiators who for instance have a background in labor law but the problem is in the poor countries few people can afford to pay a membership fees for unions and therefore the unions simply do not have the resources that they would need done you one last question briefly if you wouldn't mind i'm wondering all chinese company is becoming increasingly aware of the possibility of reputational damage. yeah i think they are mean some years back many people in africa well come but chinese companies with op

ok thanks joe it was just six months ago after years of protests than a state of emergency that east africa'smost populous country ethiopia saw an unexpected changing of the political guard the surprise resignation of prime minister haile mariam disallowing lead to a leader from the oromo try. taking power in the four months since he became prime minister he has not only forged an historic agreement to end the twenty year standoff with eritrea he's also made bold promises to end the authoritarianism of former prime ministers and to heal social tensions among ethiopia's or more n.t. gray ethnic groups. the media specifically social media are central to this story because it was ethiopians constant use of platforms like facebook and twitter to coordinate protests and amplify grievances beyond the reach of government censorship that preceded all the changes the listening posts flow phillips now on how social media both inside and outside the country shaped ethiopia's political revolution and what some of the most influential ethiopian journalists are now hoping for under their new prime minister

and we can all speak to andrew andrew mold from the agency where he is the acting director for east africa hopefully we should be able to speak to him and there he is good to see you andrew now africa's biggest economy nigeria for one is not on board why does this country have such reservations. well i think in the case of nigeria they haven't said they're not going to sign it simply that they needed a period of consultation with the private sector we are actually quite hopeful now that they are going to sign quite sure and that's a. that's a that's sort of a stark way to say to trade negotiators beginning we have to mystically going to come aboard for the issues of attention in nigeria on board shortly what about eritrea and guinea bissau where with their reservations. well there's a there's a number of countries actually i mean out of the fifty five countries in the continent forty nine signed up but these are militarily few economies that actually said that we were we were actually very happy that as many as forty four countries signed up in the meeting in march the african union i don'

the war material got for horses in animals, the way the war material got from south africa up to east africa on people's heads and shoulders. (music) the thing about the piece weighing our shoulders down i think it is a very important thing about this particular project. because it showed they were trying to weigh us down. it's our story and there is no person better who can tell you that story than us. so, for me, it's notjust a play. this is a platform to protest and say, has anything changed here? yes or no? south africa belongs to all that live in it in south africa. but still, there is this rage. it's not an opera, it's not a piece of theatre, it's not an installation. think of it as just a drawing historical drawing performance. it's a mixture of projections, 50 metre by ten metre projections. you have an orchestra of 60 musicians from solo singers to name military activities are these astonishing dancers. and then, actors that had to connect different text and these different fragments. eight things you must remember. there are eight things you must remember. so to put the projections

the great rift valley stretching from mozambique in south east africa to syria in the middle east. the lowest point of the great rift valley is here in the jordan valley. home to the world's oldest city jericho established over ten thousand years ago. farmers and shepherds have worked on this now and for thousands of years. in more recent times israel's continued occupation of the west bank since one thousand nine hundred sixty seven is threatening the existence of the people of this region. israel restricts palestinian defunct things through the use of military orders which often means destruction of property and livelihoods it's also encouraged the spread of settlements across the occupied west bank regarded illegal under international law for over five decades. this is the story of palestinians clinging to their right to live on and cultivate the man that they have inhabited for centuries . this is the story of the last shepherds of the jordan valley. that he. did lament and such governments so are a right you see here yeah. let them while had to be. menaced separately. when it

diseases they had for horses and animals, the way the war material got from south africa up to east africa on people's heads and shoulders. the thing about the piece weighing our shoulders down, i think it is a very important thing about this project. because it should actually weigh us down. it is our story and there is no better person who can tell our story than us. so for me it's not a burden. this is a platform to protest and say, "has anything changed here? yes or no?" south africa belongs to all those living in south africa but still there is racism, there is rage. he talks another language. it's not an opera, it's not a piece of theatre, it's not an installation. the best description is a drawing, a historical drawing in performance. it's a mixture of projections, 50 metre by 10 metre projections. we have an orchestra of 60 musicians. we have a group of solo singers. the main military activities are these astonishing dances. and then actors that have different texts assembled by me from these different fragments. there are eight things you must remember. so to put the projections,

cable business news with a hellhole for not taking a look at an app helping farmers in east africa fill technology coming to the rescue or at least helping in the drought which is crippling kenya the small phones essentially are aiding traditional hulda's to move their animals to fertile pastas ending and often well deadly so the food and water the technology is also useful to protect hugs from predators take a look now at how it works. camels are tough they can do without water longer than most other animals but they need fresh food the drought in east africa is especially hard on kenya's livestock herders the owner of these chemicals ali gulf who struggles to find grazing land for his animals but now he has an app on his smartphone that helps him and it's called apheresis out. camels are main livestock they live far from water sources that we used to travel around looking for pasture but this year we got to know after scouting and it's information is helping us. we can now find pastor without too much trouble. right now we're coming back from the water point and we're going home early

beyond from three point two million from central africa and close to seventy three thousand from east africa. while david eltis and emory university research team have clearly established deportation figures the income gathered by the slave trade is still currently being estimated. historians are still trying to assess today how much profit the slave trade yielded to banks and insurance companies. the slave trade is not only a foundation of american capitalism it is a foundation of all of european and atlantic capitalism because it created this massively profitable economic system that link the countries of north western europe to the americas through the plantation system the great scholar activist c.l.r. james pointed out that the slave system created the greatest planned accumulation of wealth the world had ever seen up to that moment in time and this of course is a very important part of western prosperity. between sixteen thirty three and england's abolition of the slave trade and eighteen zero seven english companies deported two million seven hundred fifty five thousand eight hundred

as well as the president of kenya, you're also a leader of a very important country in east africa, ande that is in the news very much is the fate of the ugandan opposition mp, bobi wine, and i would like to know whether you have raised his plight with president museveni. he has now been released on bail on charges of treason. kenya is not a country that seeks to really interfere with other people's or other country's issues. even when he has just been beaten up? let me finish, zeinab. we are a country that encourage democratic processes, but we also understand that every country has their own challenge. what we would say is that what kenya would love to see is where political competition is allowed without intimidation, and we preach that message, but we say that where there are differences, please let us ensure that those differences do not result in violence. exactly what i said about raile 0dinga. so in short, ours is to encourage democracy and a peaceful solution to whatever differences may exist, but kenya does not interfere, just like we also are not keen on other people interfer

about being here is the opportunity to bring interfaith trips to see our work in greece, germany, east africa. so with this trip, we decided to bring a group of rabbis and muslim leaders and make it an interfaith learning trip. and so we're really excited to be able to do that, and we hope to continue to do that with our presence here. >> rabbi marv, according to the literature i read, there were nine rabbis and three muslim leaders in your group. >> right. >> and some women, as well, right, leaders. >> right. actually there were six women and six men. the rabbis and the muslims, we ended up, over the course of time, connecting with yotam and israaid. over the course of a year and a half, we came up with this idea of taking the religious leaders to greece to see what was going on. one of our hopes had been that we would have an equal number of rabbis and muslim leaders. but the politics in the country really prevented that, and we were really so pleased that abbas and two other leaders from the muslim community were able to join us. >> abbas, when you first heard about this, how did that invi

tell me how you came to make this is congo well i initially i was a nuisance talk for based in east africa my first time in congo was in two thousand and eight covering which commonly known as the sea in d.p. war so that experience really kind of sparked me to dig deeper in my research behind. kind of revealed a lot of holes in it in the narrative that we're often told about the congress so that's kind of the genesis of the project begin there and it was about identifying the root causes of the conflict and really trying to find a good narrative thread that could flush them out and the female character mama roma. the congo is seen sort of around the world it's like a place with lots of sexual violence against women i think at a high of one of these it was nearly fifty breaks a day and she trained in very strong she's actually built her own business she's providing for children why did you start to how did you find with all the characters you know i wanted to challenge. the views were typically given on the outside about congo and i want to characters that i feel the viewers could identify

the united kingdom, great britain is a significant investor in kenya, the share of investment in east africarticularly has reduced slightly, particular competitor i know. but in the stock exchange especially among the stock exchange especially among the listed companies there is still a significant investment by british firms and we do hope that this visit, particularly by the fact that there are a lot of smes as well, will forge more partnerships and greater opportunities between the two nations. i suppose what my question really is is can the uk can pick especially with china, which i know has invested in some big infrastructure projects, particularly in kenya, hasn't it? well, we cannot predict what britain is going to do on this visit, but we have seen yesterday that in south africa theresa may announced additional amounts in excess of £4 billion. i think britain might not be able to compete with china but i do think there is greater scope for participation. there is a lot of opportunities for investment. and we also believe in the traditional ties that are enjoyed by these two nations w
