coming up the old guard zimbabwe's president. who helped. write. the first japanese. libya has agreed to the emergency evacuation of refugees and migrants facing abuse in his detention camps the plan has been drawn up at a joint african union summit in ivory coast it's not clear how the deal be enforced but migrants are expected to be sent back to their home countries but the reports from. the theme of this summit was huge 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 president of the ivory coast in the beginning who said that everyone had a collective responsibility to do something but at the end of the summit leaders decided is that they would try and repatch. migrants and refugees that are trapped in libya and want 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 anything other than 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 who's trapped there the fun is on fire. 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 little respect for human life while the 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 they'll 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 enter europe is that something that you discussed and something which you wouldn't visit each you have to. we have to stop to. use workers say until young people have real opportunities little change we want to . say. and here. place. this no doubt 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 africa's most fun noble this was the first summit between these two organizations there were more than eighty leaders here for african and european union's 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 syria's u.n. mediator. has held separate meetings with the government and opposition figures in geneva the eighth round of u.n. sponsored talks to end the civil war have now been extended until december fifteenth the opposition still demanding the departure of syrian president bashar al assad but that's not been discussed yet. the un's humanitarian advisor for syria says aid supplies are being allowed to reach a besieged damascus suburb. is calling on world powers to help arrange the evacuation of five hundred people including over one hundred sixty children from eastern guta it's been under siege since twenty thirteen nine children have died in the past few weeks while waiting for permission from the government to be evacuated to hospitals just forty five minutes away. we have. convoys of aid work is being blocked from women and children wounded that need desperately this price inside the area of eastern good which is indeed just forty five minute drive from that must be city there is now malnutrition among the children it has gone from two percent to twelve percent a five fold increase in the last ten months. the u.n. security council failed last month to agree on investigating chemical attacks in syria the inquiry into the use expired after russia vetoed a u.s. sponsored resolution that would have extended its mandate and as a solid binge of a report from northern aleppo the inaction is causing fear among syrians the perpetrators will become bolder. when syrian children play in the street their games in opposition held areas are often disrupted by the sound of warplanes . usually russian or syrian jets fly overhead. an airstrike killed a base mother this exterior was injured when syrian government attacked hunchy hoon with chemical weapons had been bashed your way remembers that day when he was in his brother's room and he smelled something funny. when he woke up in turkey his mother was gone. we met him there in april when he was being treated the un found the syrian government responsible for the sarin gas attack in honshu horn which killed around one hundred syrians they bring all the staff and doctor up to lead their mission as he's witnessed dozens of other attacks including one which killed more than one hundred people in a car bomb in hama province the town was controlled by isis fighters at the time and witnesses reported suffocation after poisonous gas was dropped on them dr their wish accuses the world of ignoring chemical attacks even in areas which were not under ice and control his colleague dr ali their wish was killed in the attack in march he refused to leave a patient on the operating table the doctor continued the surgery and died a few hours later in an ambulance but he saved his patient dr abdullah says what happened amounts to a war crime and no one's been held accountable. by the un's chemical watchdog i brought all the evidence with me. he was wearing piece of metal from barrel bombs and samples of soil and. other victims of chemical attacks and. the twenty five members of the family included a wife and two children the world briefly took notice when news of what happened to them went. seven months on. the nightmare every day. for me you can't imagine my pain i was hoping after this attack a sad news regime would face something that is still the same we're in painting i get no justice. that's a feeling shared by victims of hundreds of chemical bomb attacks in syria and investigators have found the government responsible for most of the people. and. limited mandate those carrying out chemical attacks will be emboldened. saudi led coalition's intercepted another ballistic missile fired by who the rebels in yemen it was reportedly shot down near the southwestern city of eight earlier he said that hit a military target is the second missile fired from yemen in less than a month one was

robert mugabe no opposition figures have been included in the government. sworn in a week ago as more from harare. to people who hope that this cabin 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 doesn't have anyone from the opposition so some people who hope that prison and go would be a different kind of leader from may be disappointed it could indicate that maybe things may not change on the ground it's more of the same those who are cautiously optimistic hope that the president knows what he's doing he is a businessman they hope that he's assembled the right team to resuscitate the ailing economy but there are some people we've spoken to over the past few days who have been very skeptical of prison and are they saying he's part of the old system he's been in government is one hundred eighty he's been a close ally of god with a former president he's helped you helped keep power for thirty seven years if you have 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 we speak few 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 now a date has been set for the planned of the question of japan's

the reasoning behind the and present location. what's the implication of the m. burn itself he basically made it very clear that unlike his predecessors he didn't want to rain until death he said look i've worked all my life as a symbol of the nation of empire and my health was declining and it's fine for me to step aside and so it was really the emperor himself who started the debate and i walk out to kate and this was the government which didn't want to agree to the emperor's idea to eventually go along with it but number people in the imperial family is very small and i'm though when they have had children many and most of them have been female children so looking to the future it's probably fairly certain that there will come a day when there will be a need to have a female emperor or here either of knowledge other branches of the imperial family and the bake the material again this is something that the all the governments against the army there was not one of the delta burke but there are other horses and yeah the society is that one up and in fact that in the in the evil in the ancient past the heart he'll be blunt terms. that's also to come here and i'll just say recruiting

latest intercontinental ballistic missile but russia says cutting diplomatic and trade ties isn't the answer to the standoff. one gets the impression that everything has been done on purpose to make snap and carry out further inadvisable actions it is regrettable the americans should explain to us what they're after well despite this the white house says the u.s. has only one goal in dealing with the growing nuclear threat from north korea. this is. focused on one big thing when it comes to north korea. of the korean peninsula that's our number one priority that's what we're focused on . the

coup in two thousand and nine i'm afraid for my children my family and my wife respect the results. of american states. managed to have both candidates statement where they vow to respect the final

could be liz mix who is one of deescalation shallop bellus al-jazeera. honest about one of our top stories here the pope's visit to bangladesh about a child who's live for us now in cox's that's on the border with me and so just talk us through what the pope is doing today. well the the my. that is being held is started now in a park in the car we understand that the pope will be able deigning sixteen priests after or during this mass he will there later in the day be meeting a group of ranger refugees that have been selected from these camps to travel to the car by bus we believe to meet the pope we met one of those a member of that group yesterday who came over with his twenty member family escaped me and mar in august on august twenty fifth when this crisis started saying that there you know he was going to be asking the pope for help to try and you know deeply publicized the kind of. crisis that these people are suffering more than six hundred twenty five thousand ranger refugees have crossed into bangladesh in the last couple of months so despite the pope last night mentioning the crisis as we know as he did a similar scenario to what happened in myanmar he did not to mention the word ranger he thanked bangladesh for their assistance in this humanitarian crisis. but he refused yet again to use that word we understand certainly members of the catholic community in the am i had warned him against doing that there were fears of a backlash against catholics in myanmar we don't expect him to be using the word. throughout this visit a word that of course the entire international community uses and it's interesting some of the reaction coming from the vatican the vatican said that the pope's moral authority on this issue has not been lost it said that his moral authority is not infallible but it has not lost and one of bangladeshis top cardinals has said. the pope is a problem solver and he's here to prepare the hearts and minds of people to deal with this crisis just very briefly yesterday the pope thanks bangladesh for helping their end jetson us more quickly about the impact of the crisis that invalidates. which of course you recognize that well before the six hundred twenty five thousand crossed the border in august there have been around four hundred thousand living here in bangladesh for years and that put a huge strain on the bangladesh economy here it's around about a billion at least a year that they're spending just to house the refugees that were here before they should recent crisis this huge drain on the humanitarian organizations the bangladeshi humanitarian organizations here they have done a lot they have been very generous but as the bangladeshi government says it doesn't see the rain just staying here permanently and it's already engaging with me and mark in order to describing as some sort of repatriation process for them. charlie thank you now the u.s. federal reserve is warning that digital

meeting in hong kong that's given the pollen reports. hong kong has always positioned itself on the cutting edge as a financial industry which is why the buzzword at this annual conference is bluffing and how the entire trading world can cash in on the technology but some warn it comes at a price it is posing new regulatory challenges but speed with which technological changes are taking place much higher than we've seen before and secondly new entrants new entrants which are in particular startups but also big tech companies an example would be trying to contain the cryptocurrency phenomena in two thousand and nine bitcoin was the first to enter the scene using block change technology. there are now hundreds of crypto currency set here for the problem lies they cannot be treated like pass the script a card fees essentially it's open for future use and in most cases back you said you have to be defined so that created a lot of speculation making it a highly volatile investment for large gains and losses can be made very quickly for this reason and september mainland china suspended the trading of crypto currency and then the launch of new ones or initial calling offering forcing companies like this one to shut down their trading platforms across the board or its founder agrees new regulations are needed but such drastic actions are not necessary in hong kong. when you're blocking. your background and we. actually similar to the regulators so investor protection during. the hong kong monetary authority has told us it will continue to support financial innovations in the industry and currently is unlikely to tighten regulations or follow china's lead which is good news for the unprecedented numbers authentic entrepreneurs setting up in hong kong. who has just launched a blog company they are playing the same regulation. then we won't be able to trade into. the currencies anymore but. technology is not only about three to currencies and exchanges and so you can still use technology for their fields experts agree they say within two years block technology will touch every aspect of our lives transport banking insurance or just paying. the city now has to find a way to control some of the risks that come with this new technology without slowing down its evolution. the headline on the al-jazeera libya has agreed to the emergency evacuation of refugees
