Well the u. K. Is just days away from having a new leader and it looks almost certain to be Boris Johnson. Highly divisive figure and his most difficult. Isnt scotlands or even conservative voters fear his plan for breaks that will destroy the union under simmons reports from. Put simply most of scotland thinks the conservative leadership contest is a catastrophe in the making even Scottish Party leaders believe Boris Johnson as Prime Minister is going to cause deep divisions between england and scotland a few hours here in edinburgh and we cant find one scott with a good word to say about him. Its unbelievable. And some of the reasons why. People im very disappointed in the conservative party which is a great pity because i think it was a very good party before i think hes a bit untrustworthy and. And he never seems to take anything seriously. Opinion polls break the hostility down like this that most scots dont trust Boris Johnson with the economy that he wont do any good for bringing people together over breaks it and hell put party before country furthermore his policies will lead to independence for scotland on one hand we could be dragged out of europe the Scottish National party sees this as a 2nd opportunity for a referendum on Scottish Independence the 1st vote in 2014 decided no to breaking away from the u. K. But now opinion polls say thats changed a 5th of no vote hers last time around are saying they would switch to yes purely because of course johnson being the prime. Minister to find that level of movement from no to guests is completely unprecedented and in terms of what we found my 1st priority is obviously the union but is it speaking here in perth on the campaign trail johnson failed to convince most of the Scottish Party while officially they sound supported it takes a pox on the union it takes the boxes on the economy it takes the boxes all in protecting farmers under pressure this is takes the promise of leaving you i would see a charisma i was seeing scores something about that makes people want to follow. Those words wont convince most of the rest of scotland people are still alarmed by accusations against johnson despite his denials what would so walter scott make of it did johnson lie in the back Seat Campaign and get economical with the truth elsewhere to scots may well quote just one line from their famous writer oh what a tangled web we weave when 1st we practice to deceive andrew simmons.

The president has responded to the report by the Public Protector saying that its fundamentally flawed and not based on fact and this is after he responded to some of our questions earlier this year and according to his statements hes released he says that its unfortunate that shes decided to to issue the strip or to given that he had concerns around it he has said that he is now seeking an urgent judicial review and it will be up to the courts to decide if this report stands its also worth remembering that the Public Protector has had a record of having some of her reports overturned by the courts given that there were issues around the legality and perhaps some of the foundations that these reports were written on the president says this is the case once again one is not dealt specifically with the accusations leveled against him by the Public Protector that he was that he lied when he responded to a parliamentary question around the donation his campaign when he was running for president of the African National congress when that campaign took place but he said that the courts will now decide the Public Protector had to prescribe some remedial action in that the report should go to the Parliaments Ethics Committee for review and possibly investigation and also the president should be investigated for Money Laundering she says she has evidence that this is the case amounting to perhaps 28000000. 00 the president says that the report shouldnt stand as it is and instead the court should decide what happens next.

Mexico says the u. S. Has recognized it has made significant progress on the stemming the flow of migrants into the United States u. S. Secretary of state mike and pale was in mexico city are there as part of his tour of latin american countries relations between the c. Countries have been strained as President Trump continues his efforts to stop illegal immigration and the wave over silent seekers arriving at the southern border mine of our republic has more now from mexico city. This meeting between us secretary of state mike palm pale and Mexican Foreign minister doubt is certainly a timely want to riving with just one day before the 45 day deadline on that deal between mexico and the United States where the 2 countries managed to avoid slapping tariffs on mexican at exports unless mexico could rein in and curb the flow of Central American migrants making their way north toward the United States the meeting that took place here in mexico city appeared to be a very positive one both men took photographs shaking hands it appears as though they were in good spirits as though that that meeting actually produced some positive results specifically the topic of discussion between these 2 officials was immigration specifically again that change in policy in the United States regarding Asylum Seekers from Central America being in eligible for asylum in the United States if they go through a in other country before reaching the United States in this case it would be something along the lines of a migrant from el salvador honduras going through guatemala going through mexico making their way into the United States and be automatically ineligible for asylum in the United States another question that was brought up again it was the question of whether or not mexico is going to be designated a quote unquote safe 3rd country to peers as though it out of the foreign minister of mexico says that because of the advances in the talks with secretary of state pompei o there is no longer a need to consider mexico consider that mexico will at some point be designated a safe 3rd country so it appears at the end of this negotiation at the end of these talks it was a positive day for both parties. Now in many countries fluoride is. On toothpaste to make it stronger but when this too much flu writes it can be toxic and anything 16000000. 00 people are affected the horrors in physics and the small time of mojo which is trying to fix its fluoride problem in a creative way. Its tasteless odorless and invisible but the effects are obvious high fluoride levels and water cause teeth discoloration and in extreme cases bone decay but a solution ironically comes from bones of a different kind specialist working for a nonprofit humanitarian organization in southeast ethiopia have figured out a way to absorb fluoride and water by using cow skeletons the idea is that water containing high fluoride levels sticks to the animal bones when put through a filter instead of harming human bones the process to make the bone charred takes weeks. Were inside the furnace and as you can imagine it smells awful and here it smells like death they just look the flame and these bones will essentially be baking at temperatures of 350 degrees celsius for at least 10 days until these bones are whittled down into bone char. The char is then ground sifted and washed if fluoride levels are too high a more expensive chemical alternative is provided half of the battle with this program has been convincing communities that its safe to drink water filtered by bones what im in most when we take this product to the local community we were facing challenges they asked if this was a muslim or christian slaughterhouse we finally convinced them that this was only from cattle. The char is then brought to Rural Communities to be added to Water Supplies the rift valley has an unusually high level of fluoride because the volcanic rock naturally produces the chemical the World Health Organization recommends fluoride levels to be around. 1. 00 milligrams per liter in this village the level is 9 the excess levels of fluoride causes a chronic condition called fluorosis 67 year old fatality suffers from it as do most of his 9 children. And yet anyone with any new rule i feel back pain in joint pain i cant sit down or stand up properly because i also feel pain all over my body. And. The effects of fluorosis are irreversible but increasing calcium intake can help 97000 people have been helped by the chart program but 16000000 are affected this project is just scratching the surface but for those in this village safer drinking
