South africa is about to hold extraordinary session of its parliament on how to tackle gender based violence the president serving up or so has talked about crisis after growing protests over rape and murder figures show sexual offenses and general murder rates have been rising significantly in south africa over the last decade and 2018 police recorded an average of 58 murders every day while sexual offenses including rape have risen almost 5 percent this year and according to World Health Organization estimates the femicide rate in south africa is almost 5 times the global average with one woman being murdered every 3 hours well russia and then to lives in johannesburg she told us story your family us assizes you saw. I think gang raped. At 16. And that. That tribe me from 6 to 9 he was living my parents home and he broke my nose and my mom was a rock and my mom the sitting me you know when my nose was bleeding continuously my mom was murdered in 2009 asking pleaded to get a spleen was structured she bled to death you know and thats my find youve been abusing youve been raped and theyve taken away interesting rocking of you theyre not taking away. Your body that they can hide so that i have been so much pain but i have kids and i need to keep them strong and this is my story in this my pleat you know. For those kids for our kids for south african kids you know weve been. Left in the end its worse if well for me the minute joins us live from cape town has made a harrowing story there from that survivor just talk us through whats prompted this extraordinary session of parliament on gender based violence. Well daryn its very much because of the statistics that you mentioned a short while ago that every 3 hours a woman in south africa is killed and that a woman in south africa is raped every 36 seconds thats according to Police Statistics and in the last few weeks theres been a number of prominent cases that have caught the attention of the south african public here in cape town a University Student was raped and killed when visiting a post office theres also a case where a the perpetrator has just been found guilty of raping a young girl in the restaurants toilets in johannesburg as well as a case in durban way a father killed 4 of his Young Children its stories like these that have pushed South Africans and women especially to say weve had enough and they want to response from the president s around what should be done and and this is what has now led to this extraordinary session in parliament and thats quite important because this is only the 3rd time where the president has called such a suspicion and so its thought that he could possibly be making bold moves in response to the calls by South Africans to wanting a state of emergency one ting greater conviction rates at this point only 14 percent of rape cases in conviction so even if theres talk of having harsher penalties many people are saying well if we arent convicting the perpetrators how can we then punish them adequately people are asking for an overhaul of a system of Justice System that deals with the rape and murder victims in south africa. In cape town for me to thank you. The European Unions chief negotiator is warning pro briggs and politicians not to underestimate the consequences of leaving the e. U. Without a deal Michel Barnier addressed any peas in strassburg he said sticking points such as the irish border will need to be resolved before britain and the e. U. Can have a relationship meanwhile the u. K. Supreme court is holding its 2nd day of hearings to decide whether Prime MinisterBoris Johnson broke the law by suspending parliament for 5 weeks Charlie Rangel has more from london. We will be hearing more arguments on both sides because this case is fundamentally about whether or not the Prime Minister abused his and asking for that lengthy probation suspension of parliament at such a critical time and whether or not this supremes has the power to rule what is essentially upon them an issue right now were hearing from James Justice james he is the lawyer representing the Prime Minister and he is arguing that these courts have no jurisdiction on this matter and that the case should really be thrown out is obviously drawing on many. Previous cases to emphasize that argument but the lawyers representing the legal activist are arguing that the rules suspending parliament and the bounds by convention and the use for a Prime Minister to set out new legislation for the coming year remember Boris Johnson said that he was probing parliament to tackle some domestic issues to look at funding the n. H. S. To try and get a grip on Violent Crime in the u. K. But noise theyre all doing that that was not his true motive his true motive was to run down the clock on that debate so well be hearing from both sides to reiterating those arguments but the crux of it is does this court have any jurisdiction to rule lawyers say there is no legal precedent for it the law is on the other side say there is no legal precedent because no Prime Minister in modern times has allegedly abused abused his power in such a way. And thats. Now an island survivors that anatoly is home for children are accusing government leaders of covering up a long running scandal involving the Catholic Church thats threatening legal action over the governments failure to examine the bodies of hundreds of children who died in the care of nuns some of the remains found in a burial pit 5 years ago were of newborn babies as lawrence lee now reports it is impossible to overstate the mental scarring of the survivors of the bodies of the riders are very little as are in there and they are peter lived in the home until the age of 4 when the nuns sold him on to a violent family by that time he lost his sister she like nearly 800 others had her name recorded in the death register to walk on this plot is to walk over the bones of the infant children for a Catholic Organization to put bodies in here there were baptized ties yet about the reindeer on consecrated ground and left them here like animals north break no records you know nothing savages fell for them like all the others put through his grandmother had to give her sons up to the nuns as punishment for becoming pregnant outside marriage both of them betrayed his 2 uncles died john francis only made a week apparently they didnt feed him. And your uncles name is on this list here yes hes right here John Francis Malone 7 days. And the death certificate says that he died of malnutrition well its as well as must but starvation eventually so so so starved to death in the care of the nuns. Like many others patro believes the whole place is a crime scene theres still an awful lot of Unanswered Questions and without those questions being answered then how do we know its not its 5 years since a local historian uncovered the scale of what happened here and the government has promised to excavate the site a preliminary investigation discovered skeletons lined up in rows since the entrance is very narrow its led to the suspicion that the nuns got the children to carry the bodies of dead babies down the pit after these photos were taken the whole site was covered over again the government minister responsible for all this declined an interview but the governments own interim reports suggest that they dont trust the testimonies of surviving nuns and they think that local people might know more than theyve been prepared to admit in the meantime though the detective work is being done not by the police but by the survivors of choom and their families. The campaigners think the government is so frightened of the damage to the church that a full excavation would do that it is resisting it so theyre threatening court action i think the only way in which this will be resolved is through an order of the supreme courts of this country i cant see any other way because there is no will theres no wish there is no appetite church and state in this country is still wedded in a poisonous pact. Through thought to be dozens and dozens of other places like this around ireland a full investigation into the scale of what happened across all the countries mother and baby homes would be explosive and could destroy the reputation of the church hardly a surprise then the survivors think the government would rather bury the truth than dig up the past lawrence lee aljazeera chim in ireland activists with hong kongs Democracy Movement have made a direct appeal to the u.
