You have the Security System designed, have you accused, even when you were the victim, you were the target of any bullet that circulates in the city. There is no bullet lost when it hits a black body. The killing was caught on camera with the video spreading on social media. Alberto sabera freighters was held by one Security Guard and repeatedly punched in the face by another. And whats drawn comparisons to the death of george floyd in the u. S.

The lead to the death of a black man in south power. Protests said the violence was a legacy from black slavery. What we saw in porto allegro is the most to speak expression of structural racism, institutional racism, and of how much brazil still inherits from the heritage of the slave countries.

Its one of 3 areas that armenia has to hand back as part of a cease fire deal to end the 6 weeks of fighting over the disputed region of nagornokarabakh while as areas celebrate. Armenians are grieving the loss of land that theyve long claimed as their horrible hameed has moved. Theres a sense of defeat in that chain. Armenia will soon lose control over district dziedzic district. Very few civilians are left in town and ive been in soldiers. I just transiting through on their way out. Behind caribbean is a businessman. Volunteer fighter. Its a bittersweet day for him. He was soon meet up with his wife, but after them, the district where he was deployed at the beginning of the war is being returned as a better term to poland told a lot of tales about the situation. We can do everything but the reality. No one in the public knew the real the situation room now have the result that we deserved all of the Armenian Forces have to evacuate before december 1st, a mere 70 kilometers away celebrations, an atom, a district on the eastern flank of the un clave, which armenia occupied and considered a buffer zone. I looked it over as among the 60000 a series expelled at the time. From here. Im lost for words to explain my feelings. Its the best day of my life. The 1st place i want to visit is the fater. Its destroyed now, but he was very nice and were building a stark contrast to december. Mood in the chain here to tens of thousands of azeris were expelled, left, she was the 1st, captured by the armenians and early 1990 s. And it will be the last one handed back to azerbaijan, and its all because of this road. The socalled latching corridor that connects armenia to nagornokarabakh. It will remain open for armenian civilians. And as the russian peacekeepers who are going to guarantee their safe passage, its a lifeline of the enclave, at least through this road, that the bulk of the russian peacekeepers are deployed and taking up positions along the corridor. As a budget, as forces would be just a few kilometers away, it worries me and who stayed at home throughout the war. She came to the municipality with her neighbors to ask for help. Then i dont want to leave here. I have a deep connection. My husband and my son a buried here. I want to be able to visit the grave. And i want to stay and i want my generation to be moved again. About 12000. 00 district over the past 3 decades as it but john said it would ensure the safety of those living along the corridor. But after all, whats happened . No one here is willing to take the risk. But at the while still i have, im sorry, theres concern that armed groups might target verses in back in a fast as election. 6000000 people will head to the polls there on sunday where security has been the Main Campaign theme.

This is attack in 2016 mark to the beginning of a series of acts of violence by local militias and foreign fighters. Some of them crossing in from neighboring mali. More than 2000, people have been killed in these attacks. And over a 1000000 have been displaced. The model can and has survived 2 attacks in his village. After 3rd, he said hes had enough detectives broke down my brothers door and shot him. My son was there in his traumatized. We fled to get dugard for safety and to get help for my son. In 2015, birkenau fossils army was weakened by a purge following an attempted coup. This is the only bafflement. Theyve narrowed down their choice of targets to military and government officials because they think that will cripple government institutions. Military is ill equipped to deal with these attacks, but foreign help is arriving to support local efforts. But that support is clearly not enough. At least in brooklyn, a fossil and its citizens are worried over the recent spike in attacks. The last 5 years have been the countrys cutoff. We cant go to the other side. The country is divided. We have never seen it like this. In the 1st 6 months of the year, more than 4600, people have been killed by armed groups in booking, a fossil miley in this year. And that is despite the presence of 820000, Strong International force deployed to help restore peace in 5 sale countries.

At the same time, this increasing breeze on the coast of man might well be a circulation in the arabian sea, which by sunday could produce some significant rain, not just as a culture, but in the horn of africa, and throw her few showers into southern yemen. And maybe in iran as well between the 2, it looks fairly dry than increasing breeze briefly. Dancer, bahrain, and qatar and the suns back out. And iraq, as it is mostly in the levant, heading south this season or right now is where it should be said, more or less tanzania, and west woods to go to a sort of area. Still a few showers, stray showers further south and of course the potential for flash flooding in the north of somalia because what we just talked about in the arabian sea. But the rain now should go south and hes done that. The proper rain seems to be running through angola, botswana, and down to the middle of south africa.

Now the philippines will lift a ban on Health Care Workers leaving the country up to 5000 nurses. A year will now be allowed to accept jobs overseas present, regarded her as a, introduce the band back in april, saying filipino doctors and nurses were needed at home to help fight the coronavirus. But nurses campaigned against that door saying salaries in the philippines are too low to live on. Well, we can now speak tamara, stella bene, hot. She is the National President of filipino nurses, united and she joins us now from quezon city. Thanks for joining us. Marist. Im sure this comes as welcome news, but with this limit, the 5000 nurses. How much of a difference will that me where the oh we have been the seeking for a bit with the lifting of the ban. But those beside been almost 9 months. Lobbying for our government and since the government decided on a cop that goes with the lifting of the bun, making it 5000 on the Health Workers to be allowed every year to work in and in other countries. Are big question now is how would it be possible for the government to reveal and by use our Filipino Workers to work here . Because right now we have so many burning issues among our nurses currently working in the government sector and even in prices a set for us. Well, no, just yesterday we heard, we held our seat down and another house because they had this be kept within their house because we are demanding for dream isa lower delayed sod, that nice for 3 months, or 4 months or so old. And also the nuns provision of house, sorry baby, and especially recently once for all were nurses, doctors, and other Health Workers who are taking care of called the patients here. The department of health. Id meet there during the budget here being in best send me last november 18 doctors. There are about 16764. 00 Health Workers who have not yet that receive their hostage say in special recently once. And that not even for the see, there are those then 1000 Health Workers that they have hired and varied emergency hiring for qualified 19. So even the us, they put a cop of 5000 for allowing no good workers to leave the country. I think their greatest challenge now is how to really and vice our Health Workers to remain in the country and not leave and work for this for under water intensive myself. I mean obviously some outstanding issues there. And i understand that very few of the nurses whove been stuck in the philippines since april, well, willing to work at home. Im curious about the pay and working conditions that not just the, the outstanding pay, but the regular pay and how youve been treated during this pandemic. Thats very true and proper being there by on many nurses who mends are and there are process seeing is already on the go we and that they are just waiting for the being of the by and this is a relief for them. But i have said, even if they were a cop, hoping that they were there will be nurses and other Health Care Workers that the care of the patients here in the country that will be the extreme challenge for them. And unless they are to me its all of the budgets will even be smart. I want to turn to nursing abroad. Its a Huge Industry for weapons from the philippines. And i know so many of your families rely on remissions says from that that weve seen the philippines recently battered by storms. And we see this pandemic, surely that makes the Financial Support and also all the more important. Yes. Because for one, if we have lessened the number of families that are already heard, then the government, because once there are bread winners will be able to leave the country and work in niger or in land. Then they can manage the basic needs of their needs, like food security, the education of their siblings or of their children and medication of their parents and other family members who are on maintenance of medicaid. Sean. So these are some of the basic things or even ramphele of their apartment or house will. So thats a big grid via the government because there will be a reduction in the number of parties who are seeking subsidy from the government doesnt resolve all Economic Crises abroad. So yeah, this will be of be care of the development of the country more in their marist, the National President of filipino ness is united. Thanks for joining us.

And mackellar is conceded, the ultimate price, quote, if youre playing National Defense forces, who are now said to be roughly about 100 kilometers from the capital. They are saying they will launch attacks from the killer from at least 4 different forms. But what is going to be a huge opportunity to the t. P. S. Is that the city is some are owned by hills and mountains where they have mounted defenses and a hopeful that will stop their advancing opponents. Of course, both sides are heavily armed and it might not be izzy. According to security to unlist. A technicality is the us does been for the European Defense force, a stick of a promise, like the man of war, which they have just clearly talk of taken control off.

Wouldnt that be effectively greenlighting more abuses by shans in what ive just said .

If you says in those that im saying, what we want is human rights everywhere, including in those countries. The secretary general will take part in the Virtual Summit from new york.
