People i think theyre fine academic i mean a handful of people feel for their lives and their future so they seek refuge abroad but what will become of course who stay behind and simply meddle my husband went to peru because of the crisis that i wanted if he hadnt gone there we would have died of hunger one of them. Displayed scars trainer 15 on. The phone. Is it time for the e. U. To rethink its relations with africa germany certainly thinks so and wants to begin the offer a taste over the e. U. Presidency later they see it better than wants to tackle poverty security on Climate Change in africa with africans in what is billed as a deal for the century. And crunch time for call german engineering giant z. Man says under pressure to pull out of the deal for a giant new coal mine in australia will it get tougher to find partners for african coal producers as well. And its take friday in mali is capital of bomber cole where young entrepreneurs are so lucky to get out on stage to attract attention and funding. This is business africa you update on african and Global Business news on the w. On us welcome germany says it wants the e. U. To strike a deal for the century with africa once a pact to be agreed when it takes on the revolving e. U. Presidency later this year German Development minister told the hundreds but newspaper it must have 4 key. First of all it should be a pact against hunger and poverty an important issue for many african nations its not totally selfless the e. U. Knows that terrorism especially thrives in areas of a 2nd the use socalled green deal should be extended to africa its all very well europe ending to be Clear Climate neutral by 2050 but 450 coal fired power plants are currently in the works on the continent next door next the e. U. Should push for improved security and better regulated migration the last 5 years have shown that problems in either area consumer arrive on europe store step and 4th and finally a new approach to fair trade the Current Situation based on w t o rules is seen as severely lacking by both sides george or in joins us from nairobi joy a complete restart of relations between the un africa tactful the century those of big words and the how is this kind of talk received in africa. But for the century or starting relations afresh is a good way to actually go about it because for the longest time we have seen that they have been issues to do with the imbalance of trade between africa and the European Union so actually restarting these relations with better Economic Partnership agreements is a great start and also really looking into the green deals or Climate Change issues is one way to take the continent forward in a balanced way. Taking the continent forward in a balanced way its going to be expensive is europe asking too much too fast i dont think so i think that the african continent has also been brought up to speed or at least has tried to come up to speed with the developments of the rest of the world were now dealing with a globalized economy where one continent cannot do without the other and so africa right now is trying as much as possible to fall in line with all the global initiatives like the goals in for instance the Africa Development bank now is no longer offending called projects that have been ongoing on the african continent and theyre opting for bringing about Energy Solutions which is something that the European Union easels and looking forward to so these and other initiatives as well are falling in line with the e. U. Deal of the century if you call it rather embarrassed and i robey thank you. Siemens may end its involvement in a new coal mine in australia the german industrial giant was selected to supply rail signalling infrastructure for the carmichael mine in the countrys north east its led by Indian Company a danny but environmental campaigners are demanding the German Company pull out to help stop more coal being burned Climate Change links to fossil fuels is widely regarded as a major contributing factor for the disastrous blazes that transit ravage australia. Your job is a met with German Climate activists in berlin today to discuss the issue is what he said after the meeting in terms of the direct involvement in the coal mine and the opus the need to make sure that we do not overlook the need to make sure. Look in direct participation of problematic environmental projects thats what we need to fridays for future activists say the planned mine will be devastating for the planet fossil fuels a key offenders in the Climate Crisis and this particular project say protesters could do serious damage. The Indian Company a dunny is building one of the worlds biggest mines in northeastern australia siemens is set to provide signalling for the rail system which will be used to transport the cold the coast from there it will be shipped to india via the highly vulnerable Great Barrier reef environmentalists fear a devastating effects for wildlife as well as for Global Warming levels the coal extracted each year at the mine is set to create c o 2 emissions equivalent to those of whole nations like malaysia and australia for years campaigners have protested the australian governments decision to back the project more than 60 companies have turned down requests from adani for involvement among them dont chip bank and chinas i c b c. With me in this to now is make holy that hes a leading member of the german chapter of fridays for future the School Strike movement against Climate Change and one of the activists who met with. That today. What impression did you get from the willy pull out of the deal yes made up his mind it needs to talk to other people of course yes thanks for having me 1st but i think he will make a decision over the weekend and maybe at the sides maybe announce it on monday i dont know if you will point out but he knows what this project means and he and weve made clear to him that there are thousands on the streets in germany and in australia too and that this project does not go along with strategy to become Carbon Neutral by 2030 so what do you think if he pulls the pulls out do you think thats thats a major victory for you i dont think that its a major victory so the coal mine is a major project so it will go to a 1080. 00 it will. Have 3 countries. Be the pendant on coal australia india and bangladesh. If siemens will put out and of course it will be hard to the full service project. We of course have to see siemens has. We also have to take a look at the out of German Companies if he pulls out. Just as turnover was 87000000000 euros last year the deal that he could pull out of represents your 0. 02 percent that youve given him huge publicity right now is that a sort of cheap ticket for greenwashing i do think that its a lot of pressure actually because he said that he he has looked into this matter personally didnt know about it until but now he has the pressure and she said to make the steel. It was a mistake in july to sign this deal and now we told him that he cant make the 2nd mistake and stick it into. If you know the. Couple of figures 450 new coal paul plants across Africa South Africa produces 250000000 tons of coal every year. Botswana is just discovered what the largest cold is deposits. Billions of tons mozambique has sought the increased production they have the stuff they want to get it out of the ground to increase due to better their economies do you think theyll listen to you. Fred as for future such a Worldwide Movement so were not only in germany australia but were also in africa and great activists too and they will also put pressure on their governments and their companies to ditch coal but i think its also if siemens will put out. And its a great sign why its that no longer German Companies say that they will become Carbon Neutral by x x but they have to follow up on a from us. Thank you very much for them to the next.
