Africas largest lake is drying up threatening to devastate entire communities by generations to come. But a protest leaders in hong kong say 800000 people turned out for a mass march through the city on sunday theyre demanding greater protection of their democratic freedoms and human rights it is the culmination of 6 months of protests even though police approved the event they warned they would not tolerate a repeat of recent violent protests earlier they said they confiscated a handgun and ammunition in raids that resulted in several Arrests Police say the weapon would have been used in their words to create chaos during the rally way jim brown is live for us in hong kong so adrian we saw some impressive numbers of people out there earlier but apart from removing that controversial extradition bill which was kicked off these protests what what have the demonstrators achieved up to this point over the 6 months. Well i think possibly theyve achieved quite a lot they did manage to get that controversial expedition bill finally withdrawn by the government but of course it was too little too late then and since then their demands of morphed into other cools like total democracy for hong kong and an independent commission of inquiry into Police Actions during the past 6 months but you could argue that the movement was responsible bringing out 800000 people more than 800000 people onto the streets of hong kong on sunday and many of those people who marched on sunday were the same people who voted in those Historic District Council Elections 2 weeks ago when the Government Party suffered a real dropping and the prodemocracy cam was left with control of 17 out of hong kongs 18 District Councils and today i think you know the people of hong kong sent another defiant message to the embattled chief executive kerry land the organizers of this march the civil and human rights front of said that today marks the last chance to carry to meet their demands now caroline has said that she is listening humbly to the people but so far we have seen no action is going to be no quick solution to this crisis china continues to to watch from the sidelines has been no intervention so far from China Military intervention we are in a sort of quagmire and you know this void is going to go on i think for weeks if not months and i think if people thought that the you know the protest movement was coming to an end that it would run out of steam i think you know theyre mistaken. But is that still the hope for the government in beijing you know because the question of whether they will respond with force and send in the army looks looks remote at this point so if theyre hoping that these protests will eventually fizzle out doesnt seem to be any indication of that so far does that. Yeah i mean at the moment d beijing is continuing to sort of sit this out i think beijing is playing the long game but at the moment theres no sort of understanding any recognition that eventually theres going to have to be dialogue to to to end dollar of this you know i think whats needed at the moment is frankly some mediation but china wont allow any outside mediators to come into hong kong to try to do that because they say that would represent an interference in hong in chinas internal affairs i think that china has decided it doesnt want to send troops in here because of it sends in the peer way that would end Hong Kong Special status and china has an awful lot invested in hong kong and it stands to lose an awful lot of money were that to happen also more importantly would be a sort of tacit recognition that the effort to try to win hearts and minds in hong kong that began 22 years ago when hong kong was handed back from britain to china that would mean that that effort was a complete failure so it would symbolize too much thats too damaging for china so i think for the moment they they insist they want hong kong to succeed and survive and weve got actually another reminder that just a few weeks ago when chinas one of chinas biggest corporations audi barber decided to float on the hong kong stock market now the reason for that is that theres no other stock market in asia that could handle a flotation of that size and thats another reminder i think why china still needs Hong Kong Adrian brown thanks very much asked steve sang is the director of the China Institute so as university of london he expects protests in hong kong to continue over the coming months dean told has had change in terms of need and focus from this summer. When it all started in june it was about the n. T. Is about the extradition. Now deportation is really not about the extradition bill it is about governance in hong kong how the priest behaved d and whether hong kong can have democratic accountability unless those are being met it isnt that big issue any longer beijing is not going to make the concessions the protesters will continue to protest we already seen them going back to the streets trying to send a clear message to the governments in hong kong and in beijing to get them to go and work for a political solution and one attendees repressive forced and then you also have the government in hong kong led by the chief executive who is frankly politically illiterate and doesnt understand what needs to be done and and does not have the courage to do what it takes to bring a political solution so this will continue for a few more months i think. Our fire in indias capital has killed at least 43 people it tore through one of the oldest markets and burnt down a factory where some of new delhis poorest residents were sleeping the worst fire in the city in more than 2 decades mohammed reports. The blaze broke out while many were still asleep in monday in the old quarter of delhi and he was suffocated by smoke as they slept. Police and firefighters try to save dozens of factory workers but for some it was already too late crowds gathered watching as the smoke rose from the multiStory Building and connecting sites. Some people were sleeping in the factory and they didnt wake up it was a short circuit there was a fire and 2 buildings with a common staircase. People were taken to hospital in any way possible before ambulances arrived at the scene. The factory is close to one of the citys largest markets the narrow streets made it more difficult for Emergency Services to fight the fire and reach the injured. We have rescued 52 people so far we got a call at 522 this morning and deployed 4 fire engines and then later sent 35150 firefighters are involved in the operation the rescue people have been sent to hospitals the operation is underway and we believe a few people are still inside the building more than 18000000 people live in delhi its one of the worlds most densely populated cities the city has struggled to enforce modern fire safety codes earlier this year a fire swept through a hotel killing 17 people. The next day a fire broke out at a card factory. As Emergency Services searched the wreckage the government says there will be a full investigation into the cause of the fire mohamed al jazeera. He is following this from new delhi she says police have used the building out have you accuse the building are not of disregarding the safety of. The delhi police has detained the owner of this 4 Story Building and all saw a charge the owner with this under section 304 which essentially is culpable homicide not amounting to murder the police has also said that they did not find any Safety Equipment inside the building after the inspection and that the owner of this building had not secured any sort of fire clearance we were also talking to a lot of people who live in that area very congested area and this they said that there are many such factories many such small workshops that operate out of that place and nearly this they dont know of anyone actually who has secured any sort of climate and this is a broader reality in the country and certainly in india where residential areas are turned into commercial areas without the employers the owners securing proper permits a lot of these people who come to work in delhi come from poor states from across the country the come to delhi because theres not enough work back home and they come here at whatever salary the employer decides and the essentially if you live off whatever the employer decides to pay them they dont have enough money to rent a room for get an apartment so they actually in groups live inside the places that they work in factories like this 1. 00 or small workshops and thats also true for children who work in sweat shops in the city even they live in the same place that they actually work in and thats quite widespread doctors in delhi but across the country. The southern iraqi city of nasiriyah has seen some of the worst violence against antigovernment demonstrators 96 people have been killed in the city since the beginning of october seen on a fulton has met survivors and protesters who say theyve been tortured by Security Forces.

Video shows the moment of the attack the government has issued an arrest warrant against a Senior Security force commander and promised an investigation. That there is an Investigative Committee formed for this purpose at the highest levels and for sure the people in charge of the investigation will bring those responsible to account and they will be punished by the law but the victims relatives want more i want the government to change i dont want this government i demand my sons rights what is his guilt and the syria has been rocked by violence many times since u. S. Troops invaded 16 years ago but iraqis say they are suffering unprecedented suppression now hundreds have been temporarily detained since protests began october 1st this activist says he was lurched to a meeting by Intelligence Officers who then arrested him. And. I got a call from someone it was an unknown number. He said im so and so we have supplies for your tent and we want you to take it to your tent specifically for your tent he was tortured and interrogated for 16 hours his body still bears marks of electrocution and then x. Ray shows a fractured rib who was him they call it an investigation but its not an investigation its torture like the bulk of those arrested he will soon released on bail but many believe the use of violence is likely to continue the problem that we have use that us a government by other side of they call them party the problem there is theoretical type of investigation.

Her sri lankas Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa has opened a new port city to attract Foreign Investors the project is under construction just outside the capital colombo regional its designed to be a regional Financial Hub and its initial funding is a one and a half 1000000000. 00 investment under chinas socalled belt and Road Initiative a sri lanka suffered decades of religious and Ethnic Violence the newly elected president got a biologic parks as promised to unite the country but as Charles Strafford reports in the capital colombo there remains a deep distrust among the countrys minority groups that over voted overwhelmingly against him only muhammad just as pasta from tree owned by his muslim family was booked down by a mob of around 100 people in may last year of. It happened during days of violence targeting sri lankas Muslim Community to the Easter Sunday attacks suicide bombers who were members of a local group linked to eisele killed more than 250. 00 people in the tanks and churches and hotels the newly elected president go to by rush upon his promise to protect minorities and to serve every sri lankan and his words irrespective of race or religion. I think. You know im not party to this but i think everybody. I think. That if you will do not with the minorities if you do not. They are not working together you cannot like a society cannot function that the Buddhist Nationalist Group. Which means Buddhist Power is accused of inciting hate and taking part in violence its x. Because minority muslim and Christian Communities in recent years the group campaigned hard for president carter by rajapaksa and celebrated his election victory the b. B. s leader says the group may despise the parliamentary elections expected in april then up but how do you get that now hasnt our father come home in recent times the sinhalese people were destitute like children without a father the spirit of the sinhalese was killed by politics now there is a revival and sinhalese but that revival is not a threat to minorities. Because religious and ethnic minorities overwhelmingly voted against russia in the election newly elected president got to russia pax has promised not to leave behind those who did not vote for him he said that he will be a president for all sri lankans but the fact that what is often described as a Buddhist Nationalist Group like b. B. s so heavily support means there are many amongst the countrys minorities who are questioning whether the new leader can deliver on his election promises. Most experts say in support for nationalist groups such as bubalo sena is weak among the majority sinhalese population they say the new president must seize the opportunity to unify the entire country the more are a wholesome sense of citizenship that is something that he should work for and that comes with the rule of law. Before the law and you know putting systems in place which makes a minute of pretty. Early on millions of sri lankans like him can only hope the years of religious and Ethnic Violence of a child started out as era colomba a 3 month old baby boy in malaysia has been diagnosed with polio an incurable disease that can cause paralysis it is the 1st case reported there since 1992 the country was declared polio free in 2000 the vaccination rates in some areas dropped below 95 percent and thats allowed the disease to reemerge and thats it comes months after the neighboring philippines reported its 1st polio case in 26 years the spike the setbacks the global effort to eradicate polio through vaccination has been highly effective infections have dropped 99. 9 percent since the Program Began in 1981 heidi larsen is the director of the vaccine and confidence project she says even small pockets of unvaccinated populations can cause the disease to spread widely. When we see a case like the one in malaysia it exposes areas that dont have enough vaccination to prevent the spread so its its absolutely important that children who are not vaccinated in malaysia and frankly in nearby countries this particular strain is related to the strain and the caisson in the philippines so these things travel so its really the only way to stop it in its tracks is to really make sure everyones vaccinated vaccines are very related to government theyre provided regulated sometimes mandated by government so if youre a minority or marginalized group with any issues with the government you might be a bit suspicious. Which in the case of vaccines i would think that its such a Public Health issue that that would come before politics but it doesnt all the time sometimes its concerns about safety the safety of the vaccine because people hear rumors or sometimes there are there are some very small risks and sometimes things do happen with vaccines so its important to reassure the public that they understand how important it is to take them to prevent the spread of disease.
