EU ends fishing agreement with Senegal

Bbc World Service
About this episode

The European Union has announced it will not renew its fishing agreement with Senegal, citing concerns over the country’s efforts to curb illegal fishing. European officials pointed to inadequate monitoring and surveillance systems in Dakar. Without a renewed agreement European vessels will be required to exit Senegalese waters when the deal expires on Sunday. What are the reasons behind this decision?

Also, did you know that two in three children endure violent punishment or discipline at home and at school?

And making the case for tourism in Africa...it's not only about the fauna and the flora!

Presenter: Audrey Brown Producers: Sunita Nahar, Joseph Keen and Nyasha Michelle in London Technical Producer: Nick Randell Senior Journalist: Karnie Sharp Editors: Andre Lombard and Alice Muthengi
