in nairobi embassy just as with the victims of the bombings in nairobi embassyjust as much as we sympathise with the situation that happened in other areas. and we are keen to see how we can work, especially with the us government, to see that these people are adequately compensated. and we can return what they lost. however i believe that we can and will continue to try to do more for families and for victims to ensure that we make their lives as easy as possible. this is an agenda that we are constantly putting across going to the americans in the same manner that we are looking after the victims of other attacks that happened in the past. we would like to see the same happening for this. in kenya you have outlined your big four agenda items, in kenya you have outlined your big fouragenda items, housing, health, infrastructure and food security. many people are concerned that you are not delivering on these objectives, largely because of the widespread rampant corruption that exists in your country at your own admission. people are quite sceptical in kenya that you are getting to the bott

thank you, larry madowo, in nairobi, our africa business editor. we will keep you across how the meeting goes between president trump and uhuru kenyatta, also how theresa may, the uk prime minister, gets on in africa today. she is travelling there today and meeting also saw people to try and extend business prospects for the uk's. we will be talking about that through the week this week. —— for the uk's. steel has been at the epicentre of the international trade row sparked by president trump, who has imposed tariffs of 25% on imports in an effort to boost us production. inevitably, the move has gone down badly with america's trade partners, including the european union where steel makers are already struggling with the challenge of cheap chinese steel. as part of bbc world news' global trade week special coverage, our economics correspondent, andrew walker, has been to belgium to find out how the world's biggest steel company arcelor mittal is coping. the finished steel ready for dispatch in ghent in belgium can end up in cars, household appli

you were born and bred in nairobi and you grew up surrounded by women, strong women who you say were actively pursuing happiness. why do you feel it's important to reflect that kind ofjoy for life in your films about africa? well, so often i feel africa's not betrayed as a happy continent. it's not portrayed as some place that is glorious and thriving and wonderful, and that's my experience. my experience of africa has been that — has been wonderful and joyful, and i want to add those experiences to cinema. but it doesn't mean that you're impervious to the fact that there is still a great deal of suffering amongst africans. you might be lucky, but, i mean, we've all, you know, those of us who have been to nairobi, you see the kibera slums and the difficulties that people are having. yeah, i think it's more about a balance of images. i think that there's many, many images of us suffering and disease—stricken and poverty—stricken and war—stricken and all those things, but there aren't enough images of us as thriving individuals. so my effort is to balance the view rather than a
