africa. every year people across south africa celebrate freedom day it's a public holiday marking the end of apartheid twenty four years ago. yet you know celebrating the freedom we show up here and sought for and saying it's a tear no wonder celebrating a different. but political hardliners say real freedom has yet to be won their rhetoric is stoking the tensions between black and white to levels not seen since the days of apartheid. so this is the cold of me over this company but. oh for eight days notice you're sneaking. i. put this natalee off like this for not many south africans say the ideal of a multicultural rainbow nation has. and the country was at a turning point. ended in south africa in one thousand nine hundred four but still today most of the country's black population lives in poverty those celebrating freedom here belong to the young black middle class here the ideals that nelson mandela fought for are alive and well. looking at it. but those calling themselves the economic

my question after west africa. where is all that outrage where are those public demonstrations what we do know is that it's not because the communities in the countries in the citizens don't care about these stories all the have to do is speak to the reporters go on facebook to see that every single story from west africa was followed very closely and really great local by. case in point bikini a fashion journalist sandrine. of la county mr fastow reports on two leading businessmen and a possible case of tax evasion. on a prison most of this will not stand he couldn't get a thing or until paul don't let up on the volunteer a prisoner lecter. swap. your post for simplistic method to kill all the press corps so mr last us if people in the world will. not wash intellectual capacity in issues one hundred regime also interest and. see in this it's secure in bottles. being gone and nearly a month after emanuel published his story the ministry of foreign affairs finally got back to him about his questions with questions o

who in the short term i don't see to strengthen the china africa relation would have a big impact on the china u.s. relations and in fact this is a critical moment for china to strengthen its relation with africa with europe in the backdrop of this escalated trade war with the u.s. but overall in terms of trading partners in terms of global influence the u.s. is not replaceable but at this point it is actually pretty sensitive point for xi jinping to visit africa since the vote on the road initiative is the president she's a legacy and africa is playing a key role in it and as she tries this time to visit is also at a very critical sensitive political moment domestically because in about one week the bit i heard meeting which is a top secretive closed door meeting in china the coming year agenda with all of the important chinese politicians together right so if she has any doubt over the domestic political stability who wouldn't have gone for this long tor in africa let me ask you about that the choices the countries each owes to visit at first look at wanda in senegal appear to be u

south africa in particular but there are many other countries. so, we see an enormous operation nation for what this can do and it has macro economic effects are still today appreciating now 15 years after the fact. >> africa is a major trading partner of the united states as well. the report points out $40 billion of trade in 2016. four of the top five partners in the region are countries that have been major pepfar partners. .. >> even his own secretary of health made that statement and then the old bill was passed. but even then in the first report we didn't concentrate on the gdp growth. so that impact is 4% with gdp so if you can reverse that with employment but the other thing that our report does is the impact on trade not just health and productivity but a country had an impact on other countries. so what happens to be our partners moving forward so it is obvious you have young people that are less interested in then they look to the hopeful future and girls going back to school and you have a country that has shared with the united state

i knew what was going on in africa. i'd been with jesse helms' staffer, bipartisan delegation and i felt a sense of urgency to talk to our new president about this. so we talked and when it was my turn i talked about what i thought made sense in terms of a global response to hiv and aids and i had on my beaded ribbon and i had it pinned on and we talked in-depth and he turned to i believe secretary powell was there as well as secretary rice and said "condi and colin, let's follow up on this." i knew immediately he wanted to do something. and after the meeting we stood in line and took a photo and i had a chance to talk to him further and he asked me about the ribbon, the button, and i took it off and gave it to him and i told him this was made by women in south africa and used for fund-raising for hiv and aids clinics and what have you. so during that year we worked on a pepfar bill and we passed on the house i was on the form affairs committee with chairman hyde and mr. lantos and i have to give the staff credit becaus

before heading on to south africa to take part in a summit china is investing heavily in africa both financially and militarily in china correspondent adrian brown is in beijing adrian what are the key things we should be looking for in this trip. well he's going to be out of the country for ten days which for a chinese leader is a very long trip indeed a very long tour indeed before he goes to africa rob he's actually going to be stopping in the united arab emirates for a day or two the u.a.e. of course is a very important trading partner of china but so is good and so china has to diplomatically tread very carefully in this area because it relies on both for energy exports but the main i guess feature of his visit to africa will be the brics summit in south africa this is going to be addressed by president xi jinping brics is a grouping of the world's leading developing nations that's to say brazil russia india china and south africa and given that china is now in a trade war with the united states i think it's fair to assume that we're going to be hearing a robust defense of free

i think this is an indication by the president of merriment porton the collaboration with africa he's going to be visiting four countries and then they believe they're going to end up at the brics summit in south africa so this is a continuation of the last several years of the build to grow power in africa and it's been a real boost for african development policy especially in the area of infrastructure energy with rail and i think this indicates that they're going to get to you along that policy for sure do you think china's interest in africa are purely economic or is this also about greater geo political influence. china especially and that this president has a view who will win cooperation that countries can work together for the common and if it of mankind that they will benefit from economic cooperation the african countries certainly will there's been no infrastructure built in africa really since the colonial period the west we see you united states refute europe is refuse so china billion its infrastructure if you see the kenya nigeria be in other places this is a real posit

as the west africa leaks i.c.i. jay's seventh major media collaboration investigating offshore finance there can of course be legal legitimate reasons for an individual or a company to keep assets offshore over the past few years however the consortium has broken multiple stories documenting serious abuse of the system. there are good reasons why the ice has to focus on west africa for its latest investigative collaboration. the economics according to the u.n. more than sixteen billion dollars a year is moved offshore from west africa illegally which amounts to more than the g.d.p. of six of its poorest countries combined second governance authorities here either lack the ability or the will to stop money from being stashed offshore where can't be taxed and as the investigations reveal politicians are often the worst culprits . then you have the media news organizations that are on state run not typically by those in power or those close to the second bridge all too often there's a way from holding the check count w
