They come so. Clearly leaning heavily on the bitty to get just getting. All of these. Shots to. Riccis home. So sedition is violent maybe he. Didnt. Get the. Wish. Not to reach the. Mission because the men talking. To each man meant military because of the u. N. Down it will be a very very very tense situation if it would succeed but it seems to be the time in. Which the. Top producer allowed in conny whos in beni to stay safe and thank you for that well lets now talk to catherine some way who isnt going thats the largest city in east india captain weve just been talking about some of the anger directed at minister the u. N. Mission which isnt only being expressed and betty but also when you are theres a general strike in support of the protestors how how widespread has that been. Whole of last week people here in goma war also protesting in support of what the people in beni are doing now the strike was called by Civil Society for 2 days today things right now are returning 7 to normal roads were clear shops were closed but it seems pretty much people are coming back to the streets and going about their business and just to go back to bed me i did have a conversation with the governor of north kivu province benny is in north kivu province just a few days ago i talked to him and he expressed a lot of concern saying that if these protests in beni continue unchecked then they could possibly be inflicted be infiltrated by rebel groups were not just talking about a. D. F. Rebels in that area there will be villages and killing people there is also some factions of another Rebel Movement called my my and those are more entrenched in the community so he says that the provisional government and Security Forces have intelligence that some politicians have been going to other parts of me and you know engaging with this militias and asking them to come and participate in the process now we do not know right now who the army has been battling on the streets of benny but the governor saying that if the protest and filtrated that it could get very violent very dangerous very quickly and all of this is happening at a time when Health Workers are struggling to contain and a ball outbreak. The visit by the director general of the World Health Organization to go was brief but necessary. Health workers responding to an outbreak in parts of the region why attacked last week by my my rebels in an area where people are still being infected by the disease. 4 died and in this hospital the chief visits those who were injured even one. Case could spark a fire so the same thing now actually with a major one of the major security incidents like this one out of concern is even more so it may take us longer than you know it would have taken with the progress that we had having clean he other agencies upon a majesty coordinate to shows us what theyre dealing with the red spots you see are the focus points its in mining villages in about 70 kilometers from baby town where most of the new cases have been detected yet its one of the most unsafe areas and where the Health Workers were recently killed our breakfast important to stop or.

In beni 3 weeks ago shes among volunteers who wanted to people whove been in contact with ebola Patients Health officials tell us one of the biggest concerns is how people. Can safely keep in touch with those. Symptoms. The performance. Because. The person performing. You know. This is a problem because. In goma the w. H. O. Chief also met with those tasked with containing the disease some of whom had been at it from the frontlines in beni because of the unsighted security situation. When we spoke to the director general of the walled Health Organization last night he said the priority now is to make sure that all responders are safe security is paramount and this also means that theyre not able to deploy to areas where people are still being infected by a boy and this also means that the situation when it comes to fighting this disease could just get bad for the Health Workers.

Now the biggest aids conference in africa is opening in rwanda doctors and others from around the world will discuss their goal of an aids Free Africa Campaign as though say the Global Response is already failing but our correspondent malcolm where the guardian rwandas capital malcolm theres been so much progress in trying to combat the spread of hiv across the continent but theres still plenty of challenges so whats the priority at this years conference. And were talking about the theme of an a 3 hour with you about something definitely. But just a few decades ago millions of people were dying. From aids. Distribution of the retroviral drugs mostly funded by the u. S. That picture or the Health Care Research is. Lost about 800000 people died from aids so those numbers of significantly come down but campaigners say this go into hell. Yeah response one of them is people who have been on treatment pulling off treatment because the reasons beyond their control and another. Group they say thats not getting the treatment it needs a new born children those born with hiv now one of the most heavily burdened countries is you got in there which is a neighbor to rwanda where we are actually just traveled from uganda there we spoke to a woman who suffered from exactly this problem lets take a look at that story now. When her Jarrod Mccalla discovered she was hiv positive her husband disappeared without his support she wasnt able to travel to the clinic where she was receiving treatment here in ugandas capital kampala. She gave birth to twins without any measures taken to prevent transmission. The youngest was negative. But the beer is had coffee rashes and a growth on her chest only after 3 months she tested. It and given treatment. I reach a point when i feel tired of taking the drugs my child is going to take these drugs until she dies she is going to die taking the drugs because i gave it to her had it been prevented she would not have to take. A jar is now back on the antiretroviral medication that started it too late to stop her getting sick in her neighborhood most of the housing is basic there are a few jobs here anyways to get by is informal trade at the side of the street many of the Health Care Services that are needed by people with hate hiv aids are only available several kilometers away in the city center even if the service is a free people dont necessarily have the money for transport and thats just one of many areas that People Health care activists say that the worlds fight against hiv and aids is failing to deliver the required services in particular to children in the worlds poorest communities is the u. S. Government that funds most of the worlds response to hiv and aids in poor countries people at this clinic are among millions receiving free medication that stops hiv from being a death sentence the diplomat in charge says theres enough money weve been and basically a flat budget since 20092009 i think we had about 45000000 people on treatment we now have 15. 7 that doesnt happen without developing amazing efficiencies and effectiveness but campaigners say those efficiencies a costing lives hiv testing is crucial for newborns needs to be immediate but few clinics are equipped for that sending blood samples to central Testing Facilities can take weeks. Government. To scale up. For these children whether they get their results and then were able to intervene in prevent the new infections. That beer a could have been spared from hiv only the right Health Care Services have been delivered campaigners say hundreds of thousands of children like a dying. Drugs have saved millions of lives but the fight against aids isnt so what campaigners say in children like. Instantly points of Service Delivery using. The testing machines which are relatively costly and they need to be according to the campaign is distributed throughout clinics across heavily burdened countries but the other hand weve got donors talking about one thing greater efficiency one thing can reach more people for the same money fundamentally at odds with what the campaigners say they need their thing to say more lives fundamentally they need more resources and relatively Expensive Solutions to reach the most risk groups not just one of the key topics there is a policy going to be discussed here in the Convention Center this aids conference over the coming days. For us in their own capital thank you. Well the annual Un Climate Conference has opened in spain where delegates have been warned that our planet is fast approaching the point of no return chilean politician carolyn a schmidt took over as the president of cup 25 in madrid the event was meant to have been held in chilling that weeks of violent street protests there forced the government to cancel delegates from nearly 200 countries at the conference and theyll work to increase global commitments to fight Climate Change efforts which the un chief has called utterly inadequate entirely in she lay and globally we are seeing social and environmental crises in order to address these we have to go back to the grassroots we have to build trust and confidence again we need to dialogue with openness to change the Climate Crisis is the greatest challenge that we are facing today. Now the International Court of justice in the netherlands is Holding Public hearings on an appeal that was made in connection to the blockade of cata thats after the u. A. E. Saudi arabia egypt and bahrain closed their airspace to catalyze National Airline says as base restrictions by saudi arabia and the u. A. E. Violate International Law doha has made a number of claims to the court after the gulf states imposed a land air and sea blockade more than 2 years ago. Tomorrow ill show you alice in the hanky says the blockading nations how to put too much of a focus on aviation issues in the writing statement. That kicked off roughly an hour ago and essentially whats meant to be taking place here is that the United Arab Emirates saudi arabia egypt im behind have filed a complaint or a case of the i. C. J. Basically theyre rejecting a previous decision by i coul which is the International Court commercial Aviation Organization that ruled in favor of qatar saying that the blockading nations closing their airspace to qatar was in fact illegal and not the blockading countries have done is theyve said to the International Court of justice that i coude doesnt have jurisdiction is with regards to this because theyre saying that the reason why theyve done it is for political. Purposes and what theyve done in these Opening Statements is theyve tried to essentially divert her away from the case of blocking the airspace from a commercial perspective and how that breaches International Law and agreements and tried to focus attention on what they are claiming is qatar support for socalled terrorism in fact theyve spent quite a bit of their statements attacking things like al jazeera and certain media institutions and this is something thats become basically synonymous with the blockading countries arguments for justifying the collective punishment theyve imposed an outsider by trying to say that these organizations or these institutions in the policies thats qatar pursues are essentially interfering in the domestic affairs. A russia one of the Worlds Largest exporters of natural gas has launched a huge new pipeline from siberia to china it will be about 3000 kilometers long connecting 2 fields in eastern siberia to a city on chinas border the pipelines expected to be fully operational in 2025 and will supply 38000000000 cubic meters of gas a year russia describes it as the worlds biggest construction project running across frigid mountainous areas of siberia far from northern china Andrew Thomas reports. Life is tough along chinas border with siberia its minus 12 degrees celsius theres not much industry not many jobs most around here use coal to cook and their homes. Burning coal its obviously very dirty its polluting and also a lot of physical work but 2 big Infrastructure Projects are bringing change 1st is this bridge opening next year it crosses the a more river frozen at the moment the river divide russia and china the bridge will link the cities of blago vesture nest and. I walking on the construction of the bridge i feel proud when i tell friends one of the contributors. But its the 2nd project that is the most significant this is one of the most remote parts of china and just a kilometer or 2 over there is one of the most remote parts of russia and now linking that so is this pipeline its an economic projects of course but its all about politics to the power of siberia a pipeline is about to deliver gas from russia to cities across china its cost 55000000000 dollars and on the russian side stretches more than 3000 kilometers the pipeline through china will eventually reach shanghai almost 3000 kilometers to the south but china it means well priced energy thats relatively clean but. Other than for heating natural gas can be used to generate power is much better than oil and coal it has much less pollution and if you were emissions of c o 2 for russia the project is unlikely to make much money as the only feasible customer for gas from russias Eastern Fields china bargained hard. Russia was keen because it is facing resistance to its plans to export more gas to europe some European Countries and the United States have tried to Block Development of a new pipeline to germany they think it will leave europe too dependent on russian gas so russia wants to shore up its strategic ally to the east but china to more russian gas means less reliance on liquefied natural gas shipments from the United States and middle Eastern Countries potentially implemented by u. S. Policy the pipeline then is a strategic link as much as one about money to thomas aljazeera her in northern china. Sir in arms president has returned to his country after a court found him guilty of murder while on an official trip to china a military tribunal has sentenced to see protests 8 to 20 years in prison for the murder of 15 political opponents in 1982 when he was the countrys military leader it has yet to issue an order for his arrest which also says he is the victim of a political game and albanian mare has resigned over comments she made about the death toll from last weeks deadly earthquake the mayor of the city of duras which was one of the hardest hit areas sparked outrage when she said she was quite satisfied only 50 people died in the quake tuesdays magnitude 6. 4 quake killed at least 51 people and left thousands homeless in venice a referendum to break away from the nearby mainland city of mystra has failed a 50 percent turnout was needed for it to be valid but not enough people voted campaigners had said that independence would help the city deal with problems like overwhelming tourism and flooding high water levels have again paralyzed the lagoon city there havent reached the record seen on november 12th.
