However the weather is looking bright and breezy across much of the middle east i think the best way to sum it up not too much cloud showing up not too many showers a few showers between the black sea and the caspian sea just around the cool casus but nothing much to speak of it is about the breeze coming out of iraq wind blowing down across q. H. Into that eastern side of saudi arabia to us towards us here in the cars how we might will see a little bit lifted dust and sand to watch out for but otherwise it is generally try with lots of hazy sunshine and sunshine and showers meanwhile the seasonal showers dont quite nicely now across Central Africa pushing through the heart of africa over towards common room democratic republic of the congo and the sinking further south which northern parts of angola also seeing some heavy showers you can see how they extend all the way up into a good part of nigeria and in tokyo goddesses and heavy showers as well if you shout as to just hugging the coastal frame just becoming a little more widespread in eastern kenya as we go on through where the state might catch a shower roti around the eastern coast of somalia as well well you find a try meanwhile across a good part of Southern Africa all of this area cloud will be some on the shell showers into central parts of mozambique and eastern zimbabwe.

A developing story out of china where critic of the chinese president xi jinping has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for corruption china is an influential former Property Executive and previously the chairman of a state owned Real Estate Group here is katrina a year in beijing with more on this 118 years for corruption can you expand on that what hes actually been found guilty of. Well according to the beijing court rendition was found guilty of investment of public funds about 9000000. 00 in accepting bribes to the amount of about 200000. 00 he was also said to have caused heavy losses to a state owned Company Including the company you mentioned while you and which is a big Real Estate Company of which he was the chairman for 21 years now for these crimes hes been given 18 years as you mentioned and the court also said that he has voluntarily confessed to these crimes and he will not be appealing this verdict now this is quite a headline here in china because china is known to be quite an outspoken critic of the Chinese Government so much slower that he earned the nickname the big candidate and in a country where many of quite afraid or too afraid to be outspoken he wasnt and he uses social media pages to voice these criticisms and in 2016 his web page which is the equivalent of a facebook or twitter was actually taken down by the communist party need was warned but he still went on being quite critical he ran this quite popular elite book club where you invited a Business Owners and other popular celebrities in china to discuss independent ideas many democratic all western ideas and he promoted this idea of being outspoken and criticizing the government and this year in march he actually penned an article criticizing the Chinese Governments efforts to contain the coronavirus and in that article he referred to xi jinping as an embryo and a clown and this seemed to really have been the last straw for the communist party he was quickly detained and in july he was expelled from the communist party and also charged with these corruption charges so its and quite sure many shock waves across china because he was such a prominent figure also because he was known as somebody who was part of the red elite here in china in that his parents were revolutionaries they were quite prominent historical figures and also he had many connections in the highest. Chinese government as well and it was thought that those connections would be enough to protect him from any sort of retribution but it seems that really even that wasnt enough and weve seen that he will spend the next 18 years in jail to train you with that update on the sentencing of rent it john. Argentina initially did well to contain the corona virus but things have worsened in recent months recorded cases of past 630000. 00 co the 19 spreads from the capital going to sars out into the provinces this report from tourism. The intensive care unit in this one site is hospital has been on the front lines of the fight against 19. As patients here struggle to stay alive doctors and nurses have become their main sources for comfort and support. A nurse tested positive for the virus after recovering he returned to the job he loves. The reality is what we see here is this fight against death we are making an effort so a person can recover but sometimes its difficult because their bodies are in a very bad shape many believe this is a joke an underestimate the virus but this virus kills. A few months ago the hospital was forced to close this unit because of the number of infections among Health Care Workers even argentina was one of the 1st countries in latin america to impose a lockdown the virus has continued to spread but the quarantine was crucial to allow the Health Ministry to get ready for the workers who are here in the intensive care unit in a Public Hospital in websites and what were being told is that they build this wall for example in the past month among other things to protect the Health Care Workers. This is the hospital when a site is named after the wife of former president juan put on since march the hospital has increased its i. C. U. Beds from 4 to 24. Only runs the hospital and says the pandemic shows the importance of the Public Health care system when it comes to saving lives. Ok so. We have a profound sense of what. Health means we have policies that promotes the right to health and that makes us proud there are more vaccines there are more supplies with hard more people there is a pandemic that is killing Health Workers destroying families we have the time to prepare and thats crucial. Argentina has been a lockdown for 6 months but the government has been slowly opening up some sectors of the economy in an effort to save jobs despite an infection rate that remains high in greater want to scientists the situation is different in other parts of the country reports indicate that cove in 1000. 00 east breading 2 provinces that a few months ago had 0 cases in the city of iran in northern argentina hospitals are also under strain to this instrument the man ill tell you the truth this is held stay at home get bored toy yourself out enjoy your children paint do whatever you can stay at home 10 seconds out on the street is like having a loaded gun to your chest its preferable to bore yourself out at home than to come here and cry out god dont take me or to cry out for oxygen. Early on argentina successfully managed to contain the spread of covert 1000. 00 now authorities are hoping the Health Care System will be stable enough to cope with the uncertainty in the months ahead.

I remember all our dogs ran up to me and started licking my blood off the floor like an animal i could see the hole in my back thats when i fainted. 17 operations later hes still carrying more than 100 lead pellets in his body yet what has most enraged the family is the fact that the offending officer is still free despite all the evidence against him now brandons once docile mapuche a mother has become a tireless activist for months ago the family took older 200. 00 hectares of this land that legally belongs to a chilean family rather than fight the owners met them up which is family state marks if they were to say what im about theres no equality or justice for them uppity here theres only justice for the rich and powerful this land recoverys a way to compensate for the damage theyve done many are afraid to do this but we have pigskins to resist all the prosecutions and mitigation of the. Brandon is by no means the only man whos been wrongfully shot killed or imprisoned by police. Centuries of injustice and discrimination are feeding im a picture of rebellion and armed groups are increasingly resorting to violence to expel those who they say have usurped their land and driven them into poverty nearly 140 years ago the chilean state recognizes them up which is ownership of much of this territory so our land titles called to tell us the man says today most chileans believe its too late to turn the clock back and return the land to the mob or just which raises the all important question is there any room for compromise so that the chilean state and them approaches can coexist in peace. And he said an emblematic. Or chief was wrongfully imprisoned for 5 years under chiles controversial antiterrorism law today he condemns the violence carried out by whom he calls a minority of my putting radicals look at what lies ahead this terrible no one says it but this violence the killing of innocent people will bring sorrow or more forward to all of us the divisions among us our tragedy but to do our best. While rival mapuche is protested outside accusing 1000000 of betrayal he and other long state officials last week to present a 12 point list of demands they include recognition of the Language Culture social order and autonomy in their territory. The current constitution doesnt recognize Indigenous Peoples existence but next month chileans are almost certain to approve the creation of a new constitution which could pave the way for significant changes he said wanted to see hopefully a new constitution if it recognises chile as Indigenous People will help but he wont guarantee respect which is very different but its an important step. That the my putting and childrens rights activist believes teaching chileans to recognize and respect of a particular street and culture are key. But while there is growing public support for them up which it cause distrust of the chilean state and its institutions remain deep rooted. And how much both sides are willing to concede especially on the crucial issue of Land Ownership would terminate whether or not there can be peace in this volatile region.
