Leaders from Europe, Africa and the Middle East will meet in Paris this weekend to launch the Mediterranean Union. The new body aims to strengthen ties between Europe and its southern neighbours. Many of those migrating to North Africa and Europe come from West and Central Africa. Their pursuit of a better life takes them on a dangerous journey north across the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea. They leave their home countries and travel to transit countries such as Mauritania, Mali and Niger. There, they begin their journey across desert borders to North Africa and then on to Europe. Al Jazeera's Casey Kauffman traveled to the northeast of Mali and met up with a group of migrants on the first leg of their journey across the Sahara.

Tri or Die is already very famous and very well organized Triathlon race in Serbia. This year was 8th time this race was going on and it started at 1:08 pm! lol It was also for the first time that both distances Sprint and Olympic took place one after other which was really great cause for some of us the sprint distance is too short.. and too fast! hahaha For those who does not know Olympic distance is 1.5k swim 40k bike and 10k run. Sprint is half of that. Once again i wish to say that the organizers did a great job and all thanks goes to them! As for the guys who raced.. well, must say that they are all great! Best triathlete from Serbia won the Olympic distance in front of few great Hungarian athletes and all the rest of us were doing 'our own race'. Me and my friend finished in time of 2:27:54 which was pretty much ok since it was done with some reserve cause its just the preparation for the longer distance and cause of one funny thing which happened in water! ;-))) But the feeling was absolutely great from the beginning to the very end of the race! I did it so very easy and so much in focus that i wish to say that i invented a new sport! Swimming biking running and flying! :-D Its always the greatest enjoyment when you can feel that way all the way throughout the race but to feel that way some physical and mental preparation must be done! btw i finished 3rd place in my category :-) DO IT TRI BUT DO IT WISE! ;-))) race results here: media.triordie.rs
