Later in the did the president met members of the law guard and family 9 of them were killed in a cocktail ambush near the u. S. Border in early november we were updated on the investigation into the murders 4 people have been arrested and didnt speak after the meeting. Poses took to the streets on sunday to protest against the president s 1st unit office one of the largest groups demanding you do more to curb the violence yes President Donald Trump says hes begun the process to designate mexicos drug cartels as terrorist organizations mexico opposes that idea but may find itself under increasing pressure to do something about the murder rate especially if theres another day as bloody as the same for the 1st 21000. 00 alan fischer aljazeera mexico city. Police in the democratic republic of congo say 4 people have been killed during protests against un peacekeepers demonstrations started in the city of bending over what people see as a lack of protection from rebel groups. The Congolese Military has been reinforcing in the eastern town of benny but the protests and the shooting continue. Carney gave this graphic updates of the chaos. Around the siege of. This protester did not discourage him but. You have killed a Police Officer and his body was even supported by the protesters are not very. Big challenge for soldiers right now chris. These people are marching on a un peacekeepers base furious at what they see is the failure of u. N. Forces to protect them against attacks by rival groups including the socalled Democratic Forces determined to keep the mission outs protestors have already damaged a number of u. N. Building since process started a little over a week ago the Congolese Army has been sent to end the violence but has failed to stop the a. D. F. Killing more than 100 people in the last month and more than 1500. 00 in the last 5 years now theyre ordering the public off the street. They in the un are on their side so. Were calling on the population all members of society in north kivu province to stop working with our enemies the population should not forget about the real enemy the police is not the enemy the soldiers are not generally the un is not the enemy the real enemy is the a. T. F. But on monday alone for protesters and a policeman died the violence in bennys now hampering efforts to contain an Ebola Outbreak thats killed more than 2000 people in the democratic. Republic of congo since august the militarization of the medical response has really raised distrust Government Troops and sometimes you are not always seen as i am and now the World Health Organization has been forced to scale down operations in the area so to hire aljazeera lauris carney is the founder and executive director of friends of the congo which is an Advocacy Group promoting peace he joins me now from Silver Springs in maryland or in the u. S. Could have you with us live on the program sir is such a military response going to appease the public in the affected areas right. Now its highly unlikely public if there are 20 years of appearance experience with the u. N. Troops and there will be the Congolese Military and to date they have not been secured there hasnt been stability theres been an erosion of trust between the people and the government in the people and the u. N. So its going to take more than a. Event where the u. N. And the congolese government to show a force of unity its going to take time to rebuild whatever trust can be rebuilt with it with the population and if we just put the the un and the Congolese Military to one side how much sympathy is there within the community for these rebel groups they are disparate they have different support structures and in some cases they have no communication with. The government in kinshasa its a very complicated jigsaw puzzle isnt it of trying to find the right people to talk to to calm the situation down. Yeah it is complicated however remember that people are victims of the. Different militia groups that is to say they have been assassinated theyve been kidnapped theyve been displaced our own one of our own Spokes Person lost his grandfather who went into a Hunger Strike because of the insecurity and and he wound up dying so theres this sense of terror that cross the border in the community so theres very little sentiment for for the militia groups in fact its because the people been such victims of the militia groups and. Entities that were there to protect them by the United Nations and economies government have not done so so there is a tremendous amount of anger tremendous amount of distrust across the board and indeed the underlying threat to the community which was the reason why the u. N. Were then sent in to try and protect. The public at large. Its debatable about what their role has been but how about the message of why the u. N. All of that has that been lost was it lost on the public was that message is just not got across to the public at large well its interesting that you say that the message of the message is very clear right the population is very clear about why the u. N. Is there the u. N. Is there to. Protect them to provide stability provide security and it is because the people embrace this message and they feel betrayed because theyre being killed just meters away from u. N. Bases so there is no confusion about the message as to why the u. N. Is there the population is clearly responded. Vote of no. No confidence in the in the United Nations because they havent been able to protect the population the issue of trust is so very important for the public at the moment both when they think about the un then when they talk about their own National Army is it too late for trust to be rebuilt and if trust has deteriorated to such an extent what do you think is going to happen next i dont believe is too late i believe carlies government renter the president in particular can clear Critical Role by prioritizing the people and benny by spending time there by articulating a vision for bringing about peace and stability by actually Holding Accountable top leaders in own military i think there are a number of confidence Building Measures that can be taken primarily in firstly by the congolese government that can help to rebuild the trust thats been lost between the community and the government in the community in the United Nations or a very difficult situation im sure your monitoring from where you are in the u. S. For the moment more is current from friends of Congress Thanks very much for joining us on the program sir thank you. U. S. President told trump is intensifying 2 fronts in his terrorist battle one on fronts on the other on steel and alan minium imports from argentina and brazil shortly after arriving in london for a nato summit he threatened more than 2000000000. 00 worth of new levies on french exports the move is in retaliation for a new French Digital Services tax that will hit u. S. Tech companies rosalyn jordan is in washington d. C. With more on what happens next. The u. S. Trade Representatives Office said on monday that it is considering levying a 100 percent tax or sensually doubling the price of certain french goods intended for the u. S. Market this is because the trade representative has determined that a new Digital Services tax and acted by the french government earlier this year essentially is punishing Us Digital Companies that want to do Business Inside france so these new tariffs would be a form of economic punishment now the goods that would be targeted would include dairy would include champagne and would include luxury make up skincare and personal law products such as handbags this is also a situation where the u.

Trade representative says it hopes to make a determination very quickly it says that this new Digital Services tax is harming u. S.

Well hours earlier trump accused argentina brazil of artificially devaluing their currencies truths about explains from border czar is going to brazilian an argentine steel and Aluminum Industries where the latest targets of the United States tirades on monday trump tweeted the main reason for the change in policy was the massive devaluation of the currencies in brazil and argentina which does not benefit u.

Various in brazil which is slowly recovering from a recession the news came as a shock and the Steel Industry which accounts for more than 2000000000 in exports to the u. S. Talked about retaliation precedent. Trumps main ally in south america believes the situation can be worked out. If necessary ill talk to trump about that but were not backing off the lead out meanwhile in argentina with its struggling economy the announcement did not go unnoticed you would carry it on feet and i dont mean only add up to the end certainty that already exists in this country in one week argentina will have a new president ill bet about how to manage it and he will have to deal with a double digit inflation rate currency unfold and the possibility of by default on foreign debt argentinas government has been battling devaluation for months as people are turning to the u. S. Dollar to protect their savings. Argentina central bank has spent more than 5000000000. 00 to bolster the pace all says the primary elections in august which trigger. Collapse in the value of the currency trump now says the devaluations where intentional for many the latest u. S. Measures is also a consequence of the increasing commercial activities between china brazil and argentina in the middle of a trade war these are some of the 1st thing consequences of u. S. Policy investors have been moving from emerging markets to the United States and to developed economies and that you know in argentina is one of the reasons behind the countrys currency crisis in 28 major devaluation which of course has made its its primary exports more competitive so in some ways you know over the trumpet ministration is now reacting to something that helped create competitive exports which in part are heading to china argentinas president. And. Have experienced a warm relation with donald trump since taking office but for many dealing with china these days is enough to put the best of friends at odds.

Heard a warning from scientists about how much quicker the worlds 2nd largest ice sheet is breaking up. And thats a familiar face receiving the battledore ward for Football Player of the year well have that story in sports. Protest as a multi blocked m. P. s from leaving the parliament rallies continue over the investigation into the murder journalist daphne corona. Her family wants Prime MinisterJoseph Muscat to step down immediately and allow an investigation into her death weve parker reports from the capital letter. Also as political crisis is deepening demonstrators surrounded parliament trapping government ministers from the Ruling Labor Party inside for several hours the Prime Minister resigned on sunday under a surge of public pressure but joseph muska wants to stay on until a replacement leader is elected in january demonstrators say muskrats too close to people implicated in the murder of journalist a blogger. They want him out of office now the journalists believe the protests are a major turning point. What happened in the past week is something other country has never seen those relying on the streets. And i think one of the reasons people are so angry is that. They put their trust in our government betrayed it completely not been lied to brazenly for 2 years by. Premise which date during his televised resignation on sunday muscat expressed deep regret for carolina. He has murder and spoke of the need for a fresh page but his tone was defiant this case cannot define everything that our country is he said. Was killed in 2017 when a remote controlled bomb went off under her car shes been looking into the secret accounts of some of multiple most powerful people and had investigated corruption in politics the police and banks 3 men arrested for carrying out the attack or awaiting trial but until now little has been done to identify who ordered the killing.

Staying in the region hundreds of refugees and migrants remain in a makeshift camp in bosnia despite concerns for their welfare amid freezing weather aide workers have all the migrants will be in danger if they stay at the camp in northern bosnia during the winter percy facilities and tents are covered in snow the government says a new facility will not be ready for at least another 20 days. But Scientists Say the worlds 2nd largest ice sheet is green in greenland is melting at a faster rate pool kristofferson is a scientist with the Scott Polar Research institute he says warmer weather has created holes in the ice which is changing projections for rising sea levels. Green and i said today the single largest contributor to Sea Level Rise and thats why theres a lot of attention on the Greenland Ice it is a very dynamic ice sheet it contains the fastest glaciers and is the ice is melting the most but actually what weve discovered is. When fractures intersect lakes on the ice sheet of which there are thousands the water can rapidly flow through the fracture down to the bottom of the ice sheet and it forms what we call a moon which is essentially a big cavern a big hole and we think these moons of holes are open we can see water flowing into them even after these legs drain. In whats essentially a kilometer high water for. No it isnt good news in the sense that we can see we can see big changes in the green and ice and. Having no effect on Sea Level Rise just 25 years ago and now its a roughly a 3rd of all Sea Level Rise and planet is from greenland alone. And so theres a very significant increase and this is an increase thats ongoing and we think it is likely to continue so it is clearly an adverse effect. Now this comes against the backdrop of the u. S. And you will Climate Conference in spain top 25 began in madrid would lead to urge to address whats being called an urgent an existential crisis the conference was chilly but weeks of violent street protests forced the government to cancel the 200. 00 countries are attending the conference will increase global commitments to fight Climate Change efforts which the u. N. Chief has called utterly inadequate by the end of the coming decade we will be on one of 2 paths when is the path of surrender where we have sleep walked past the point of no return job providing the health and safety of everyone on this planet do we really want to be remembered as the generation debt birdied fair in the sense that. While the planet burns the other option is the path of hope oppressive resolve of Sustainable Solutions a press where more fossil fuels remain where they should be in the ground and where we are on the way to Carbon Neutrality by 2050 villages in the zahal deserter finding to hold all of the encroaching desert by planting a vast wall of trees 3 years ago which is a visit to the socalled great green wall nicholas her career turned to the bar in senegal to see whether or not its been successful. The fight against Climate Change starts here on the edges of the Sahara Desert villages from planting trees they want to save their homes and farmland from the expanding desert. For this forest ranger theres a sense of looming catastrophe. So we are in a situation of grave danger if we dont plant trees we wont get the range they need to cultivate it will reduce rains have dropped we need water to feed animals and grow food otherwise people will move. And they have already started across the cattle herders are on the move there mainly from the ethnic group and are looking for a more temperate climate to feed their animals. Thats like the conflict thats fueled by armed groups such as. In the stomach my grub thousands of people have been killed in the sahara in the fighting in the past year alone but not in senegal such a good job he believes thats because of this Tree Planting project in 2007 senegal was among 11 african countries that pledged to plant trees and what they called a great green wall from the east to the west of the continent but 10 years on most of the countries involved have dropped out because many of the trees have been killed by drought termites and increasingly inhospitable climate temperatures are rising in rainfall dropping. Experts say that if all the trees that were planted for the last 40 years had survived then this would look like the amazon forest well instead it looks more like this the aim of the program is no longer to build the great green wall because the desert is moving forward but rather to find a solution so that the communities here can adapt to the changing climate. For senegal this green wall is a long Term Investment for future generations achieving success now depends on finding species of trees that can be adapted to this environment. Polluting countries are investing in the green wall to offset their Carbon Emissions under climate marketing schemes but by 2050 the Global Temperatures is predicted to rise by 2 degrees the desert is rapidly expanding and the villagers here say theyre racing against time to save their homes and strengthen the front line in the fight against Climate ChangeNicholas Hawke senegal.

President jimmy carter has been readmitted to hospital hes being treated for a unique tract infection at a facility in georgia the 95 year old was discharged last week from another hospital after undergoing a procedure following a recent fall carter is the countrys oldest living former president now u. S. President all trumbulls landed in london the head of a nato meeting to mark the 70 university of his formation the talks are meant to cover Security Issues and explore ways the military alliance can adapt to current and future challenges but as our diplomatic editor james bays reports it comes against a backdrop of growing tension within the organization. For the next couple of days this is the man in the hot seat secretary general yens stoltenberg has the un enviable task of chairing a meeting of nato leaders at a time the alliance faces big challenges this gathering in london is supposed to mark nato as 70th birthday its 1st headquarters were actually here in the british capital in an area that now houses embassies there are 3 main things those souring the mood 1st the trump factor the u. S. Leader arriving here at london stands today airport doesnt like summits and he has a particular dislike of nato summit repeatedly claiming other members arent paying their way. He has particular gripes against nato he feels despite increased spending on defense that other countries are not doing enough and he has this soft spot in his heart for russia and so you know very much i think we will see at this summit all of the worst instincts of trump come out and to be exacerbated by the current political conditions to be exacerbated by his rough relations with other allies then theres the growing tension between france and germany in an interview the french president emmanuel mccrone told the economist that nato was brain dead this infuriated the german chancellor Angela Merkel and exposed a growing rift between the 2 countries last but not least the mounting doubts other nato members have about turkey not about the words of president but his actions buying the s. 400 Missile System from russia and carrying out its recent incursion into Northern Syria i covered the last nato summit that was held in london here at lancaster house 29 years ago that was just months after the fall of the birdland wall and the end of the cold war and then there were questions about natos future but the alliance then expanded taking in the countries from the east before creating new roles for itself in the balkans and afghanistan. Almost 3 decades later natos internal differences this time are even more public being expressed by leaders themselves and therefore a potentially much more damaging james pays out 0 london.

But only now with the advance of genome sequencing techniques has a 3rd sample isolated in 2001 also in the d r c been definitively identified as the same variant of hiv as the other 2 samples and according to the rules once 3 independent samples of the same hiv variant are discovered a new strain can be announced discovering this new strain of hiv is really just the 1st step weve confirmed that it exists and weve shared the sequence with the Greater Research community and that will allow everyone to be able to evaluate how it might impact diagnostic testing treatments and potential vaccines researches say this new strain is a variant of the most common form of hiv and is detectable treatable and also very rare as sequencing Technology Advances its likely more new strains will be discovered and this researchers say is not necessarily a cause for alarm but will help them understand how the virus has developed over time such vigilance is also necessary as there is always the fair strain not detectable in a blood sample may develop causing widespread infection in people and the worlds blood supplies the good news is this new strain can be detected by the current tests and the fear is that if there was a new strain. That wasnt detectable in the current tests it could spread quite a bit before we knew it was a problem and could try to intervene especially from a Public Health perspective the goal of the research has long been to find an hiv vaccine and in recent years theres been a resurgent interest in finding a cure as more strains are identified it is hoped that more clues will be revealed as to the origins of the virus. And how it evolved and what the variables have in common and how they differ but its not variety of strains that also helps explain why your vaccine or the cure of. Aljazeera washington.
