N. Report lists four thousand recorded violations against children by Government Forces and some twenty zones of conflict along with over eleven thousand violations by nonstate groups but in a carrot and stick approach the format of the report has been altered those states or nonstate perpetrators that have engaged with the un and committed to improving protection for children are placed in a separate blacklist from those parties that have shown no remorse or concern about their actions the saudi Led Military Coalition in yemen is placed in this category what became of under and lee clearance he said there were some listed parties even through many years to three years that had generally been attempting to put in place may shows that i mean they had acknowledged the problem the creation of the category may be an attempt to persuade perpetrators that there is political value in engaging with the u.

Its a move that could impact millions of american women the Trump Administration is rolling back on Obamacare Mandate requiring Insurance Coverage for contraception the white house said Effective Immediately a new rule allows employers to refuse contraception coverage based on religious or moral reasons this is a president who supports the First Amendment supports the freedom of religion i dont understand why that should be an issue the American Civil Liberties union was quick to respond it filed a suit in San Francisco saying the rule violates the separation of church and state and discriminates against women but while the courts may exempt some employers from providing contraceptive coverage their workers might still get it anyway really they put a duty on the government to step up to the plate to provide a way for. The people who potentially stand to lose and then to get that coverage in another gesture to the religious right attorney general Jeff Sessions issued a number of broad guidelines aimed at protecting religious freedom one says religious organizations should be able to hire workers whose religious beliefs are consistent with theirs critics say that could allow some employers to discriminate against the l g b t community and others but for President Trump the guidelines are a reaffirmation of the commitment he made to evangelical voters who swept him into office and who he continues to court free speech does not end at the steps of a cathedral or a synagogue or any other house of worship we are giving our churches their voices back we are giving them back in the highest form.

This earthquake was overshadowed by one which shook mexico city shortly after but federal authorities still arrived in force that hasnt stopped widespread doubts on whether theyll come through for residents makes conserv learnt from bitter experience that disaster funds often dont get to where theyre needed even in the midst of situations like this one theres a long track record of government officials misusing or simply stealing public money and social Development Ministry is coordinating earthquake relief but an investigation by a news media site and then geo just before the disaster found that it a previously disappeared millions of dollars meant for the poor how are you going to assure people that the federal government isnt going to misuse or steal this my.

Many others here told us they camped outside for a month before they were allowed to come in and register. The un and the government who run the comes to the nearby long term refugee settlements are now full and the transit comes filled up because of a new influx of refugees fleeing violence in the run the earlier this year the camp is within the town of movie or which is close to burundi the borders just a couple of hundred meters down this road and this is where most of the refugees came from just over a week ago a congo leighs militia came down from these hills and attacked the town they fought with the army and at that point all of the refugees who were camped outside were allowed in but the insecurity has caused many more problems since the Government Troops seem to be in control of the town for now they fought off the attackers with help from u.
