south africa, sub—saharan africa, and africa itself, it is obviously going to have the fastest growing couple of decades and alongside that, enormous opportunities for growth and investment and for advanced established companies looking for new markets in africa, it is extremely pertinent. thank you for your time. we will keep you up to date with theresa may's trip to africa, how she gets on. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. president trump says the us and mexico have reached a new trade agreement after months of difficult negotiations. it's a major step in the discussions towards a new north america free trade agreement. canada is due to resume trade talks with the us later today. we'll have more on this later in the programme. more from new york in a few moments. the french government is making contingency plans in case brexit negotiations fail to reach a deal. french prime minister edouard philippe says the plans will include arrangements for british citizens living in france and ensure fluid border controls after the uk exits the eu. japan's nissan ha

continual motive tension to is the provision of said taishan and one reason i did is that in sub-saharan africa for the past twenty five years which has probably been their most rapid period of economic growth there's been almost no improvement in access to urban center taishan that's forty percent of the population has access so when you have figures that low the evidence suggests that no one benefits from the profession if you increase from forty to forty two no one benefits because you still have people desiccated in ellie's and you still have feces everywhere and so the sense of the health effects of something like that could be extraordinary and then if you compare it with many african cities are in dire straits already and there urbanization rates are at some of the highest levels ever so you compounding a problem that's already severe with an influx that. could create really nothing short of the catastrophe i think well i thing the one of your viewers or did describe it as a looming catastrophe on our hands do you think. their world community at large is well aware of what i don't think

rapidly in urbanization happens as incomes in cruise and so in some countries in particular in sub-saharan africa will. witnessed a phenomena in which people move to cities because the conditions in the countryside are tearing their conflict or drought and so they're moving to cities in a situation where their income is an increasing but that doesn't mean their situation isn't improving relative to where they were they were in dire straits in the countryside and came to the city so urbanization is not correlate it with increases in income but it doesn't mean that it's causing their situation to cure i heard you say that many cities i'm now. prepared for the kind of and the flagstaff new residence and they're planning on making planning changes only after the occupants have arrived rather than before as was the case with let's say new york or barcelona in the nineteenth century. and that in your view leads to the proliferation of slums i wonder if you consider slums a kind of c.d.'s in the in the broad sense of the world i think the sense of. kind of the mythology of how urbanization fits into an

in african countries it's the second time since he took office that trumps met a leader from sub-saharan africa. very good excellent cooperation especially in our fight against terrorism because of the neighborhood women. fight with the united states to be very strong solid. but more importantly we're here to. strengthen trade and investment ties the reuters news agency is reporting that saudi arabia's king solomon has stepped in to prevent the national oil company from issuing shares to the public his son crown prince mohammed bin solomon wants to sell five percent of the company which is known as i am called one of the requirements of a deal like that says that financial regulators will be able to examine around close finances. the u.s. says it's putting pressure on saudi arabia to reduce the number of civilians being killed in the war in yemen the pentagon says a senior u.s. military general delivered a message of concern to saudi leaders last week the u.s. provides intelligence just tickle support for this idea that coalition which is fighting hutu rebels backed by iran earlier this month a

secretary general from sub-saharan africa anon was not free from criticism but he most often was the vocal one about criticizing himself in those situations and he never stopped trying to make up for those mistakes having served the public right up until his death kofi anon made a point and his farewell address to speak truth to the concept of supremacy and then it he revealed the core problem the world today our inability to give up on the idea that one nation or one organization should rule us all. no one nation can make itself secure. by seeking supremacy over all this. we all share responsibility for each other's security. and only by way can to make each other secure can we hope to achieve lasting security. who. kofi you know look people love them people hate them any time you're a world leader you know a big public figure like that you're going to have your detractors are going to have supporters but that message that the. that he just spoke on was brilliant and we need to remember that we need to remember that like eisenhower's speech oh yeah oh terry bester exactly these are

men who have among sex with men, it's also women, sub-saharan africa, other populations they could really benefit. as jen said, we are not on track for the target and when you look at why not in what the real challenges are, there are a couple of features, but certainly the most prominent is that we are failing to reduce incidence among adolescents and adults. the rate of new infections is not going down significantly quickly enough to get control of the epidemic and because we are now living in the era of the largest new cohort of adolescence in human history, that is an existential threat to us all. it's also true, of course, that there are regional problems in that area and this conference had a very explicit focus that the dutch invested in and paid attention to in getting eastern europe to the conference. steve will probably talk to the politics of that at that was also important. they are part of the reason we are not meeting the targets. principally russia. i would say that in the basic area, which is what i will start with first, we are still in the era of trying to get to an effe

after two decades of decline, malaria rates in some parts of sub—saharan africa are rising.cticides. that is where this new net, treated with different chemicals, will help. it looks like an ordinary net, but it's robust, and most importantly contains the insecticide inside the fibres. and it leeches it out slowly over time. so you can wash this net 20 times, but it still has insecticide on it. it's still protective, it still will protect people against mosquitoes. so this is a very sophisticated piece of equipment. it doesn't look it, but it is. and for you, that would cost about $2 a net, so it is very cheap. the bed nets have already been tested in burkina faso, where they reduced clinical malaria cases by 12% in a group of 2,000 children. we're comparing the old net with the new net, with two active ingredients, and what we show is that the new net works better than the old net. so we've got something which is a potential game—changer. it at least gives us a step forward for malaria control. the latest figures from the world health organization found 216 million people w

to really get this issue, which was, at that time, devastating the continent of africa and sub—saharan africabrown government in the uk on african debt relief. not a very popular subject among industrialised nations who had loaned a lot of money to africa. but he raised that profile and he worked together with the world health organization and un aids, i have to say, to put pressure on the pharmaceutical companies. "0k, you've developed this drug, why is it so expensive? why can only people in america and europe afford it? make it cheaper, make it accessible to the millions and millions who are suffering from hiv on the continent of africa". that is a huge achievement. it's never enough. the un can never do enough. but i think what he achieved there is enormous. what he achieved in raising the profile of humanitarian issues, generally, is enormous. imogen foulkes talking to me from switzerland about the death of kofi annan. a look at the headlines now. former united nations secretary general kofi annan dies aged 80 — the un's first black african to hold the position. more heavy rain is foreca

the whole of sub saharan africa's economy is about half the size in growth value as france, and thatshows the contrast, so at the time that britain is leaving the european union, yes, some more trade with africa could be helpful, but it is not going to cover any gaps that might grow between british trade and european union trade. from africa's perspective, what can we offer, as britain, to the likes of kenya and nigeria, the countries you mention? we have all those historic ties, as tim touched on, from other relationships when the british empire was strong on the continent, and there are ties of language, in particular legal systems, democratic systems, so there are those things, but as you say, if you look at the amount of investment britain has had across africa, there hasn't been a huge amount of change over a decade. in that time, chinese investment in africa has gone up by three times, so china has seen the opportunities, particularly for providing funding for infrastructure, motorways, transport links, rowers, etc. they have seen that they can provide that money, they have got

it was a very interesting press conference that wraps up this three—day dash around sub saharan africaesident kenyatta pointed out quite tellingly at the beginning of their remarks that this was the first time a british prime minister has been decaying kenya for 30 years. he said kenny had changed a lot since then, there are now countries around the world desperately seeking business in this fast—growing economy. he was put on the spot about brexit, asked if he thought it was a big opportunity. he did not, he said what he wanted from brexit was continuity, guarantees, which she got, that kenya's current tariff free access to the uk would continue. he did not think brexit would be detrimental and hope they could be deeper trade ties with britain in the future but the country is also looking at the usa, china, other european countries. he put the uk generally in its place as it talks about global britain. for her part, theresa may sounded strikingly upbeat, confident about the prospects of getting a deal. we're very committed to ensuring for kenya that that duty—free, quota—free access i
