Mobilizing where medical supplies there is a huge shortage of medical supplies but. Its. Actually when when when the explosion happened. Is the. 3rd crisis d. Comes on top of the economic crisis. And now this this explosion here is number one but actually its the. Supply that the short im so weve been stepping in to try and provide some one should support thats why were also trying to see how would convert one of our its impossible for me to. Keep some of the oath. d that i was. Talking across the city identifying where we cant respond with what the she was or whether its improved of. Food items and distributions to the people that are homeless that left that wont thats what something is this explosion so we were stepping up a. Plant that would be up so the. Scene where. Immediately after the explosion your colleagues were helping to deal with essentially blast injuries is that right. Indeed so many of our we have a large medical presence medical the sponsored 11 month thats a big preexisting weve been working in multiple parts of the country responding to believe so what honorable devaneys or Syrian Refugees one of the. Many about work as an artist and projects mobilize immediately after the explosion happened and went to provide support in the Emergency Rooms of or all of the major hospitals in better than what they saw in those in those that were introduced sort of mass casualties arriving many of them with the ration. Is not a leader in the base but hasnt been borne out by the by the explosion it seems. That muslim trauma that came in once was or was that during the 1st hours and continued today i was visiting hospitals throughout space and i saw so hundreds of all ages arriving into that night since you dont with all that with injuries many of them werent able to reach us so theres to be an immediate aftermath of the explosion so some of them are only in managing to reach the hospitals today. So yes the. Medical workers at the i think overstretched that there was a show on the belt system a certain amount of that incredible ability to absorb shocks and it was already struggling before this or before this crisis but so Health Workers and for help in the cities it really rallied and mobilized to provide. As you say. Much since im from here so as assessing the situation at the moment but in the days and weeks ahead where do you think the the needs will be most. I think what were going to see in will in the coming days about many of the injured website that lets originate from glass and loosen up every now require immediate treatment in our facilities weve dressing that area was not having where we cared for. Caring for all is not what it once thought medical treatment requires following the treatment this is where we are going to see. If they heard. From a lot of supplies already they. Are running out of supplies up to the 1st 2 days but as i say this. Needs further the addressing. The needs as well in terms of people that have lost their own. Lust or know so 3rd.

Pakistan is marking all good faith that day walked article 370 of the constitution stripping the region off its are drawn to me bogged down in india have for several wars go where the disputed territory gets done saying that they were done unilaterally move on something that had also brought china into the fray because china disputed the region of large dogwood india now the pakistani Prime Minister had decided to issue a new political map of pakistan which shows me as a disputed region and that has to be said in accordance with relevant un resolutions the pakistani Prime Minister brushed aside any notion of a military solution but said that he will continue to remind the United Nations again and again about its promises made to the people of kashmir to hold a plebiscite and to decide their future the pakistanis of course have also been warning the International Community of the potential for conflict in this region something that could escalate beyond a conventional war and the pakistani Prime Minister say that the International Community must pay heed it must be understood that there are 11. 00 outstanding resolutions on the issue of kashmir however did little really to solve this issue according to the Pakistani Foreign minister the International Community was taking its economic interest beyond the political and human rights issues also important to note that there have been frequent skirmishes along the line of control that separate indian and pakistani administered kashmir and this had the potential of becoming a larger conflict by india as my unilateral move had also prompted other neighbors to become nervous nepal had already announced that showed their disputed region that it said india is holding that territory and after all the situation.

Opposition to what happened a year ago. Who had been planning to meet today to find political solution to being an. Outside their homes while on the roads and in fact the only activity in kashmir is members of the b j p government have foisted an indian flag. Now the government hasnt said anything about it but. Is in the town of. The construction of the hindu temple things whether its the. Building this temple at indias most controversial contested when i just saw it had been longstanding promises of the hindu nationalist government despite the fact that political and religious gatherings on to allow the Prime Minister was joined by the countrys most prominent and the best in this leaders in 175 people who were invited and attended the event and here is why the building of this temple is so important not just for the b j p to its supporters but many all of the 1000000000 of indias hindus. Promised in that in the morty praise before an idea of the hindu god ahead of construction on a temple and the days hes on a its a moment many of indias nearly 1000000000 hindus have waited decades for. This will be the symbol. It will be symbolic of the united strength of hundreds of millions. But division of the side has led to some of the worst religious violence and indias history and security has been heightened. In 1902 thousands of hindus from around the country came to the town and destroyed the 16th century babi mosque and 22 others 18 of the muslims living in the town were killed including relatives of. And muhammad had. Lost everything in the violence my sawmill was here we had thousands of dollars worth of wood they set everything on fire they killed my husband and brother in law. Up the koran in our mosque and started stomping on the pages we tried collecting the pages. Getting. Started attacking people. The religious violence spread beyond mohammed childs father and 2 of more than 2000 people who were killed around the country leading members of the hindu nationalist bought at the edge on the party or on trial for conspiring to destroy the mosque the b j p had long promised to build a temple it was 1st elected to govern the country in the general election following the mosques destruction. Then. That is where the destruction really created a new. Created new force. That force. In the country. After the legal battles of the sides on a ship the Supreme Court ruled last year that it belongs to him now 30 years after he joined the campaign for a temple Prime Minister met in for more tea is a nor gracing its construction and is about the aljazeera you daddy. The corona Virus Outbreak in peru is accelerating and now there are concerns not only about the rising number of cases but also hundreds of women and girls who go missing during the pandemic 915. 00 women in peru have disappeared between the start of lockdown in march till the end of june thats according to a senior womens rights official its feared that the women and girls may be the victims of Domestic Violence or femicide to serious john holeman is in mexico city and is following developments in peru john tell us more about this. I think one thing to highlight is that 2 thirds of the missing on actually women that goes there the miners so thats one point to make about whats happening another point to make is that this isnt something thats new in peru in terms of Domestic Violence and in terms of women going missing last year there were 30000. 00 calls to report the midst of violence in the country so this is something that peru has been undergoing for quite some time now what womens rights Officials Say is that the pandemic has made things worse as in other parts of the world people being cooped up together women being cooped up with potentially abusive partners and so that may be behind this increase in this increase in missings people another point to make about this is Something Else that womens rights official same pruitt which is that theres a lack of a National Registry for missing people and they say that that makes it hard to see of those hundreds that are missing how many have been found how many are still missing and of course what complicates the search for them now as you mentioned adrian this is a country that has one of the highest death rates and one of the highest case rates of coronavirus at the moment in the world the Health System is really buckling at the moment in peru so this is a point in which if the country is trying to get to grips with this increase in missing women is doing it well its trying to confront a lot of other problems of the same time which is only going to complicate things but this isnt a problem that only affects peru is it. You know that this is a problem especially for latin america that affects a number of the countries in the United Nations they actually 6 of 16 countries said that one of them main problems in this pandemic is tackling Domestic Violence and attacks against women and that survey according to the United Nations the reason the reasons that were given was a high level of alcoa and drug abuse particular him poor areas of countries now ecuador just to give you an example has set up a hotline in which women can use him o. G. s sort of code when theyre in immediate danger from their partners and from men around them to try and do that without their partners getting wind of the fact that theyre trying to seek help and even here in mexico which is how the problem with femicide 10 women killed a day here is that the government statistic on this is having a problem as well with pandemic and with the pandemic we actually covered this fairly early on in april and even at that point we were told by a director of a hotline that have been set up between the government and private interests theyd seen a 25 percent increase in calls we were told by women shelters that theyd seen a 60 percent increase in calls but even with all of that the countrys president and that is Manuel Lopez Obrador has denied more than once that theres been an increase in Domestic Violence and Domestic Abuse with the pandemic so i think it speaks to Something Else in mexico certainly and thats with this president and even before him and perhaps in other countries in the region a sort of lack of understanding and political will to try and get to grips with this im serious john holeman reporting live from mexico city john many thanks indeed. Weather update next to ours is 0 then try and coax birds in holiday tree elections which could give more power to the islands most powerful political family and. Im going to see in human in santiago chile the country that is now commemorating the years since a tragic mining accident turned into a miracle. And take a look at this. This is the psalms in the n.
