While its still quite tense in beni and the neighboring town called with tam war weve seen running battles all morning through to the afternoon in with him war angry young men attacked. Were told by and a un vehicle and also a Government Office in beni. Are the protesters took to the streets they blocked roads and as you mentioned in that interim in the story that had just aired they were trying to get to a very important military base very near the airport and its also a major Logistics Hub there were repulsed by soldiers here in goma are there also protests in the morning in support of whats going on in beni were also being told that 2 people were killed one in beni and one in britain both of the situation still continues to be quite tense and its also important to note also that there is also a lot of concern because tomorrow theres going to be a burial of one of the protesters this young man who was one of the organizers of the protest was shot by a Police Officer on saturday that Police Officer was also killed on the same day about angry mob so protesters now are saying that tomorrow before the burial theyre going to march around the city with that body and hold sort of a rally to pay tribute to him so theres a lot of concern that this tension that is already there is just going to escalate. And catherine is weve been hearing because of the violence and instability now the World Health Organization has pulled about a 3rd of its staff from many this of course in the middle of the battle that theyre fighting against a bolo what impact could that have on the i guess trying to contain another Ebola Outbreak. A serious impact i mean this the World Health Organization really is in the forefront of responding to the boiler crisis and as you mentioned dozens of its staff has been have been pulled back from areas particularly that are considered strong all the other humanitarians particularly from the the child agency the u. N. Child Agency Unicef have also been evacuated operations have been scaled down and this is quite detrimental because just to just to give you one example we were in beni 2 weeks ago and we filmed with this our contact traces now contact traces are the volunteers who look for and more nita are people who have been in contact with a bullet patient so that could be affected because they go into villages making sure that these people are right morning tearing them for 21 days before declaring them a bowl of free food that has been affected as well so were not just talking about here barbara were not just talking about a security situation were not just talking about a. D. F. Or both coming into villages and killing people for brutally or other rebels who are already entrenched in villages and attacking Health Workers in various areas now were talking about a serious situation where if one person gets affected he couldnt they could he or she could infect many more and now there is no one to mourn eaters that in the short term so a lot of Health Workers that were talking to us saying that this situation needs to be contained because if its not another. Case of a ball a spike then they will be very difficult to contain Deborah Catherine soil with the latest on the situation peter from Goma Catherine thank you. Well elsewhere in the democratic republic of congo at least 45 people have been killed overnight by severe flooding to renshaw rain hit the capital kinshasa causing landslides while floodwaters swept through homes rescue workers are continuing to search for bodies severe flooding has affected much of Central Africa with hundreds of thousands in need of humanitarian aid. Lebanons caretaker Prime Minister saad hariri says he doesnt want to be part of any new government he was forced to resign last month after antigovernment protests swept across the country saying ahold of reports. Yet more turmoil and even more uncertainty in lebanon following 2 months of nationwide protests against the political establishment caretaker Prime Minister saddam had 80 who submitted his resignation a month ago has said he no longer wants to head a new government in a statement he said he is moving out of the way after those in power accused him of preventing a solution analysts say howdy may be maneuvering not only does he have International Standing and support but he is the leader of the Sunni Community in lebanon. It was clear he didnt agree to the conditions the names the other camp insisted on there are certain faces he doesnt want in his government and hes insisting on an independent government and through his stances hes trying to regain popularity. How does this isnt followed 2 nights of violence supporters of the ruling elite in particular parties im a little hezbollah are projected their strengths are the streets they drove through neighborhoods armed with metal rods and clubs resorting to violence in what appears to be an attempt to push a political agenda obviously the government is not willing to engage is not willing to listen to the to the people and this is why we are finding more and more pressure there on the pressure were finding more and more aggressive rhetorical and even their own people taking the streets to try to counterbalance to engage in a counter revolution kind of kind of approach. Hezbollah has been defending the status quo the iranian backed group is worried that if it is left out of the government it would weaken its power protesters are demanding independent politicians govern until early elections. Tensions are escalating sources close to the president say he will hold binding parliamentary consultations to nominate a new Prime Minister on thursday that could be a tactic to pressure how do you need to change his position or the Ruling Alliance may push ahead with what. It will be seen as a one sided government. Such a government would risk being perceived as hezbollah controlled and could face sanctions from the u. S. Which lists this group a terrorist organization its a dangerous period without a deal that will satisfy all parties for their violence is likely to settle their beirut.

Up 2120000 people have been affected by flooding and landslides in northwestern kenya 65 have died in the past 3 days the most recent deaths being 5 people in one car in the rift valley relief teams have been slow to reach the region a some roads and bridges have been cut off by the rain several east african nations are being hit by heavy rain and more is forecast scientists are blaming on hugely high temperatures in the indian ocean the home of the doe is at a camp for displaced people in the village of new york who yen in northwestern kenya. This people of lost almost everything they owned their homes crops on livestock they came here 7000 of them seeking shelter from a repeat of the disaster they faced also to try and get help and that help has been very slow in routing them the roads and bridges leading to this area have been swamped by the torrential floods and the government is trying to repair them but it is a painstaking process that is slowed even further by the continued rainfall for this people some of them the loss of their loved ones has been the most profound of losses for them we spoke to people who lost 3 to 4 family members and still have some of the relatives admitted to the hospital in. That is the head. Region and they are saying some of them have had even spinal injuries now these people are not getting much help right now and they say they leave tend to ward off the cold mites blankets but above all fruit and water so for the had a medical team coming from the biggest hospital in this region coming to them and talking to the medical workers they told us that most of the people are being treated for his pertinent diseases iraqi Officials Say that 5 people have been killed and 13 others wounded in 3 separate explosions across back that its not clear who was behind the attacks earlier on tuesday a protester was killed during clashes with Security Forces in the capital a demonstrator died after being hit in the face by a rubber bullet iraq has been rocked by nearly 2 months of often violent protests lets go live now to someone a falcon who is in baghdad says he want to 1st of all what is the latest that we know about these explosions. Well were still getting information but what we know so far is that 3 separate explosions occurred in baghdad in around at around the same time at 8 pm local time 2 of them where motorcycle bombs and one of them was an improvised explosive device and these explosions occurred in 3 different neighborhoods in baghdad. In the north as well as the Security Forces are still investigating who may have been behind these explosions as well as what the motives could be so we dont have any information on that at the moment but what is important to say that since since the defeat of the of eisel in iraq such explosions have gone down significantly in the capital but that we havent really seen many of these so it is quite unusual and what is especially unusual is to see 3 of them go off at the same time in different areas of baghdad now we have seen in the past explosions going off in the capital to various reasons for example poorly kept arms depots exploding in the summer due to high. Temperatures weve also seen ids occasionally exploding in the cities and of course we also have the occasional missile attacks that go in the direction of the green zone the so there are very many sources of insecurity in the capital baghdad but what is behind these exact explosions tonight is so far unknown and of course this comes after the country has seen months of protests on drugs of people have been care have died in those protests. Corruption of the government the levels of unemployment tell us a little bit about the level of discontent in the country right now. Well there is certainly no shortage of discontent across the country currently we have the protests that have gone on for almost 2 months predominantly in iraq she herself driven by widespread anger at the government due to lack of jobs corruption Poor Services which have really culminated into demands for the government to step down so that has been going on for for quite a while but of course its unknown whether these explosions are related to the protest or if it is it is a completely unrelated incident that is something that we dont know yet so wonderful time with the latest on those explosions in baghdad thank you 28 people have been arrested in georgias capital after protesters tried to stop government politicians entering parliament right police used water cannon to disperse the opposition supporters while been forced to walk or reports now from tbilisi. On tuesday police outnumbered protesters outside georgias parliament a sign that this government is taking no chances and good by its failure to deliver promised Electoral Reform opposition protestors closed off the area to traffic and encircled parliament on monday a 2nd attempt to disrupt Parliamentary Business in less than a week ended with police dispersing crowds. Inside the building theres a sense of siege Electoral Reform is officially no longer of discussion but in any case government m. P. s have nobody to debate within the chamber. Was it to some of the opposition parties are upset and they. Have the right but those rights have limits and if they try to disrupt Parliamentary Business the government will have to respond in a done in way to 3 interactions see if the opposition comes back to doing. This is what the opposition boycotting this like empty seats instead of a piece for the government of course its business as usual but with no opposition theyll be no debate no compromise and therefore at least in this chamber no way out of this political crisis is. Outside in the cold the opposition admit theres another barrier to a break through a skeptical and through one of the main reasons is that there is a huge segment in georgia says how it is it is it is everywhere its this current government they are liars and they are incompetent but they are afraid of the return of the previous government. Because because they failed to secure. During said time and they dont want the same feeling to come back the opposition isnt just comprised of the form of government its a Broad Coalition they must now find their own consensus on the street in the 1st. Yeah how does it since. The Prime Minister of malta his chief of staff and 2 of his ministers have resigned as investigations into the murder of the journalist ethnic i want to intensify he thought schembri is understood to have a tough being taken in for questioning in relation to the case and police were seen entering one of his properties on tuesday the countrys tourism and economy ministers of also stepped down Investigative Reporter duff that i want to say i was killed in a car bomb in 2017.

The latest now on the u. K. Election and the countrys chief rabbi has accused the opposition labor leadership of failing to stem anti semitism within the party the comments came as leader Jeremy Corbyn unveiled a new manifesto aimed at tackling racism barker reports from london. The labor leader came to deliver a manifesto on tackling racism but this is what awaited him. Been accused of doing too little too late to rid the party of anti semitism this is the red book is a battle for the heart and soul of britains black asian a minority ethnic groups but not a corbins leadership labours come under formal investigation for institutional racism against jews to jewish m. P. s left the party citing bullying and corbins been accused of embracing anti semites his comrades the labor party he said opposes all forms of racism there is no place whatsoever and to some of his men in any shape or form or in any place whatsoever in modern britain and under a labor government it will not be tolerated in any form what so ever i want to make that. Turn the corner in hopes the release of this manifesto will help tackle bigotry racism and prejudice but despite the number of times he and his fellow m. P. s denounce anti semitism is a message that fails to convince many british or Jewish Voters in an article with the Times Newspaper britains chief rabbi ephram meir this accuse corbin of a failure of leadership a new poison sanction from the top peace said has taken root in the labor Party Supporters including the labor peer. And fled to the u. K. To escape the nazis has been quick to defend him labor party base and faith manifesto has some excellent things in it weve got to get that out to people in the country the minority groups and countries. The to the to the Jewish Community to the Muslim Community and others really get it out and say to them look this is where we stand on this issue and i will say about that idea i do think it is a very Serious Business when the chief rabbi speaks is as he. Was quick to respond to the chief rabbi his comments denouncing what he called a virus in the labor party but johnson to face these accusations of racism describing muslim women who wear the burka as letterboxes a recent poll found that nearly half of conservative voters would not want a muslim as Prime Minister. The conservative party has a situational and systemic problem with islamophobia that it consistently fails to tackle racism is right in society unimpeachable parties left and right as you said no form of racism is acceptable all Political Parties must commit to addressing the concerns that have been raised about racism in their respective parties while britains 2 main parties trade accusations of racism every said didnt a London Underground network it received widespread praise a muslim woman stepped in to defend a jewish man and his children racist abuse. In the midst of britains fierce political debate these are the kinds of values many would prefer the countrys leaders to more clearly display.
