people are in extreme poverty and 85% of the world's people living in extreme poverty live in sub—saharan african cases there yet, we need to be prepared and so the bill and melinda gates foundation, we are working closely with the africa centres for disease control to prepare, to help strengthen the ability to detect, isolate and treat patients should this infection arrive in those very vulnerable countries. and of course, chinese workers have such a huge presence. is the concern people who travelled back home for the lunar new year are coming back to places they worked across the continent, perhaps bringing the virus with them? i think if you look at their global patterns of trade and travel, people travel everywhere, from many, many places and so right now, the effo rts places and so right now, the efforts are to isolate and contain this infection. china is making some heroic efforts to do that. we've already seen infections however and 25 other countries so the countries in sub—saharan africa and south asia need to be prepared for this infection —— for this infection so having the ability to

we've already seen infections however and 25 other countries so the countries in sub—saharan africa ando be prepared for this infection so having the ability to detect and identify and isolate and treat those patients, should they have this infection, is quite important. one of the things we've seen is when there is an emerging infection, it puts tremendous stress on the health system. back at the ebola outbreak five years ago, we saw the health systems not only were stressed by ebola but that many children died from measles, many women died in childbirth because of the disruption of the health system so investing now in preparedness and the resiliency of those health systems is quite important. let's round up quickly some of the day's other news for you. a german state premier of elected on wednesday with the help of votes from the far right party afd has resigned to allow fresh elections. the election of thomas kemmerich in the state of thuringia prompted national outrage. chancellor angela merkel called it unforgiveable and said it must be reversed. during gear course criticism. syri

well the key reason is economic south africa is the only industrialized country in sub-saharan africa and is a very important trade partner for germany as well 2 thirds of all german investments on this continent i'm going to south africa in fact and the german companies are doing surprisingly well talk to a lot of company representatives they're doing quite good business here and that is despite the fact that the overall economic situation in south africa doesn't look good at all 30 percent unemployment the economy is growing slower then the population crime is going up so there's a lot of bad things happening at the moment and german companies are beating the trend and people say that the visit of the german chancellor is also a signal to the south african leadership. is the president of the a.n.c. the governing party and he is seen as somebody who wants to reform the economy who tries to be market friendly but he is facing quite some opposition within his own party and the message of the german chancellor is also a sign to support him. adrian krishna talking to me a short while ago

it's always been one sided the story of migrations particularly from sub-saharan africa from particular from nigeria so i really wanted to tell the story of what goes on before you see these men and women across the desert over in the oceans or in the detention centers and present the very human aspect of that and why is that so important just for that reason we don't see enough of these stories in this film makers from the country we felt it was important to to speak to what is happening within the countries that is driving people out and again humanize these people that we often see only at a very very high high crisis times that we have a clip from that will be let's quickly take a look and then there will be right back. i swear i'll give you my. don't touch that money. you put some hands from your privates some blood on one peach i'm saying. i don't want to touch the money. how does this clip fit into the movie come to you. well this is one of the main characters rosie and her sister grace who has was going to be giving it away but i mean it's sort of a spoiler but she's pregnant an

perceptions index that came out last month presents a pretty bleak picture of the situation in sub-saharan africa in particular if authorial guinea south sudan and somalia have shown the least progress in the fight against corruption and now i'm joined in the studio by mcafee qubit regional coordinator for southern africa at transparency international the organization that publishes this corruption and this is this ruling that we've heard of today in france is that a good sign for me it definitely is a good sign for the one hand it shows that western enablers will no longer be complicit in the fight against corruption they will no longer allow their territories to be used to harbor the proceeds of crime i think it's also a sweet victory for the people of equitorial guinea many of whom live in abject part poverty as an immediate result of corruption. in the last couple weeks have been some high profile cases there was just some tears there was no o.b. and yes it is sign that things are slowly going in the right direction and subsonic i believe things that definitely moving in the right direction w
