Hello im down jordan this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up the old guard in the new teens and bob ways president picks loyalists who helped and Robert Mugabes long reign. The pope leads a huge mass in bangladesh holding out hope for thousands of the hinge of refugees. Out of dates been set for the planned application of the first but japanese monarch in two hundred years. Libya has agreed to the emergency evacuation of refugees and migrants facing abuse and his detention camps the plan has been drawn up at a joint e. U. African union summit in ivory coast its not clear how the deal will be enforced but migrants are expected to be sent back to their home countries the reports from. The frame of the summit was youd. But there is no doubt the from the outset it was dominated by the issue of the refugee slave trade in libya and by migration we heard from the host of the summit the president of the ivory coast in the beginning who said that everyone had a collective responsibility to do something when at the end of the summit what leaders decided is that they would try and repatriate those migrants and refugees that are trapped in libya that they had also launched a task force to try and crack down on people smuggling and we spoke to many people here who said that that is just a case of firefighting and what is really needed is a Long Term Strategy to deal with migration. For. African and European Union leaders condemned the refugee slave trade in libya in their final statement they promised a task force to tackle traffickers and urgently repatch rate anyone whos trapped there. There are women and children living in inhuman conditions we have agreed along with the e. U. And the un to set up a task force for repatriating at least three thousand eight hundred people. Leaders say there are more than forty refugee camps in libya where people are bought and sold by those with a little respect for human life who are leaders here have committed to helping refugees in libya there were very few details as to exactly how and when they will repair create them and they were also very frank about the new task force they say theyll put in place to combat people smuggling. That there was also no mention of the french president s remarks to reporters that military action against traffickers is a possibility the u. N. Secretary general told summit leaders on wednesday that new ideas a needed to deal with migration including more legal ways to into europe is that something that you discussed and something which you wouldnt visit each have to. We have to stop. Illegal migration. Obligations youth workers say until young people have real opportunities little change we want. To. Put in place. Things to do. But how are we going to. Hear that ending the slave trade is an urgent priority but unless gnostic solutions are found to persuade people to stop leaving home in the first place human rights abuses will continue to affect africas most fun. This was the first summit between these two organizations there were more than eighty leaders here for african and European Union and what they said was that this is really an opportunity for a new era in relations one that was. In a sense it was an attempt to try to redress the balance of the past but one more many experts have told us is that. As the European Union continues to pour money into africa it is going to be very difficult to do that the Saudi Led Coalition says its intercepted another Ballistic Missile fired by hoofy rebels in yemen it was reportedly shot down near the southwestern city of hama shade earlier be who he said that hit a military target its the second missile fired from yemen in less than a month one was destroyed near riyadhs airport on them before. Meanwhile inside yemen medical sources say at least fourteen people have been killed in fighting in the capital sanaa forces loyal to the former president. Fought with. His loyalists accuse the who of carrying out. Zimbabwes new president. Has maimed his new team the cabinet includes politicians loyal to the ruling party and members of the military who asked informally that Robert Mugabe no opposition figures have been included in the government but was sworn in a week ago. From harare to people who hope that this cabinet where more inclusive they may be disappointed the cabin has some soldiers and members from the military it has a lot of the old guard it doesnt have anyone from the opposition so some people who hope that prison when and will be a different kind of leader from in may be disappointed it could indicate that maybe things may not change on the ground its more of the same those who are cautiously optimistic hope that the president knows what hes doing he is a businessman they hope that hes assembled the right team to resuscitate the ailing economy but there are some people weve spoken to over the past few days who have been very skeptical of prison and are they saying hes part of the old system hes been in government is one hundred eighty hes been a close ally of guy with a former president hes helped he helped keep probably in power for thirty seven years if youve been asking really what is he going to do to make things change if he was part of the old system he benefited from the old system time will tell what will play out in the next few days next year respects the months but i think the initial response from people who hoped who hope that the new president will be more inclusive in his cabinet may be disappointment but that said they still some cautious optimism people waiting hoping for the new president has some kind of plan to resuscitate the ailing economy. Pope francis is leading an open air mass for around one hundred thousand catholics in bangladeshs capital dhaka francis is the first pope to visit the mainly muslim nation in more than three decades the head of the Catholic Church would also meet ranger refugees in dhaka more than six hundred twenty thousand of them have fled violence in myanmar to neighboring bangladesh lets get more now from child stratford he joins us live from coxs bazar charlie said talk us through what the pope is doing today. We have as you mentioned hes currently holding a mass in one of the central parks in dhaka where hell be ordaining sixteen priests going to group of ranger refugees that left these camps here yesterday will be meeting him we met one member of that group yesterday was very excited about meeting the pope but was very keen to describe the desperate situation in these camps as you say actually more than six hundred twenty five thousand have arrived here since august the twenty fifth the massive strain on this countrys resources and the various humanitarian aid agencies in the u. N. Working here interestingly last night the pope gave a little a little speech and again avoided using the word. As he did in me and we understand that he was advised in myanmar not to do that because there were fears of a backlash against the Christian Community in myanmar there has been some reaction from the vatican with respect to this decision the vatican saying that it in no way means that the pope has lost his more dorothy and one of the top cardinals in this country in bangladesh has said that the pope is not a Problem Solver but he is here to prepare the hearts and minds of people to try and deal with what is unequivocal one of the biggest humanitarian crises in the world at the moment yesterday the pope thanks bangladesh to helping the rangers set tell us more about the impact of the crisis on bangladesh. Well as i say its putting a huge strain on the country a poor country that has been dealing with this crises for many many years lets not forget that there are around four hundred thousand range of refugees in here living in camps in this area before this recent crisis started and according to some aid agencies the government is spending around a billion dollars a year just to provide housing to those range of refugees so this sudden influx is put massively a lot more strain on the government i mean brac which is a bangladeshi ngo which is nongovernmental has is the largest ngo in the world and weve been speaking to them there on the huge strain here interestingly with respect to trade the impact between the two countries and their trade deals myanmar and bangladesh understand its a mouse around a billion dollars but the Prime Minister of this country was very keen last week to point out despite the magnitude of this crisis it wasnt going to affect that its also having a huge effect on the local population here as well i mean you can imagine that around three thousand acres that the government has put aside to try and house these refugees theyre coming across the border every day we understand there are least three hundred crossed into the camps yesterday and bangladesh is now on board with me and marta try and put together what it describes as a re patrie ation plan to try and start getting some range of refugees back to myanmar starting in a couple of months time now thats an indication of course that bangladesh doesnt want these refugees here for the long term any longer than is strictly necessary this plan is being called a fast by the un and by aid agencies that weve spoken to and in the last few days Bangladesh Government here has signed off on a two hundred and eighty Million Dollar plan to start potentially moving ranger. If you do from here to a coastal island an island that is very susceptible to natural disasters a hugely controversial decision so despite all the efforts that bangladesh has made and the generosity of this country it is coming under huge huge pressure right a child struck for their causes bizarre charlie thank you now a day has been set for the planned abdication of japans Emperor Akihito a special panel chaired by Prime Minister.

Whats the application of the unburned cell he basically made it very clear that unlike his predecessors he didnt want to rain until death he said look ive worked all my life as the symbol of the nation of empire and my health was declining and its time for me to step aside and so it was really the emperor himself who started the debate and said i want to abdicate and this was the government which didnt want me to the emperors like so eventually go along with the number of people in the imperial whole family is very small and though when they have had children many of most of them have been you know children so looking to the future its quite likely fairly certain that there will come a day when there will be a need to have a female emperor or he either acknowledge other branches of the imperial family or the make them period the end of this is something that all began once again the army done because not one of the number but there are other poor who live use that one up and in fact that in the in the evil in the ancient past the heart hell be one.
