Among displaced christians, there is thought he would be a change from his predecessor. I speak in the name of all of the displaced people. We do not want the same policies.

Russia said its massive convoy access into ukraine has been agreed with the red cross. One stipulations was at the agency should be on board. French foreign minister is leading western concerns russia could be using this as a way of invading the east of the country. 280 russian trucks en route to eastern ukraine. It is impossible to verify this amateur footage posted on the internet. It seems to show a convoy with dozens of alleged soldiers. Meanwhile, on russian state tv, a priest is blessing the trucks. Authorities say they are carrying 2000 tons of aid supplies. They departed near moscow and are expected to arrive at the border in a couple of days time. I hope this humanitarian action will take place under the authority of the red cross. We have agreed on all details with ukrainian leadership. We hope the west will not put a spoke in the wheel and instead will think about the people who are in need of water and electricity. Western countries are skeptical after the annexation of crimea in march. Many believe the humanitarian convoy could be a pretext to bring military support to pro russian separatists. We have to be careful because this could be a cover for russians to install a presence.

The french president Francois Holland has broken to Vladimir Putin about his concerns. Lets get some analysis on the situation. Good evening to you. How widespread is this concern russia could be using this convoy like a trojan horse to invade the east of ukraine . It is very widespread. Russias credibility is probably at an alltime low. Everything that russia says is very suspicious. But i do not think anyone really knows what the trucks contained but they are actually transporting. This is the question, what is inside. Bringing in the red cross in some way to give this credibility or to cover up or to justify what is going on, it is difficult to know what the red cross role is. It has been confusing. The latest i read, they said they have not authorized the convoy and it is not related to them. And also the negotiations with Ukrainian Government are not entirely clear. Yet again everything has been cleared with ukraine. Then again, ukrainian sources say ukraine refuses to let the convoy crossed the border. Wants the truck to unload their aid at the border and taken on by other means, using the red cross or ukrainian forces. Russia has refused. So when it reaches the border it will be tetense days and hours. Is there a deteriorating situation in the east of ukraine . Definitely. The government would do well to try to take care of that. It is admittedly hard, given the situation. The insurgency needs to be dealt with. At the same time especially if ukraine is successful, then it has to it would be better to try to help them in all the ways they can. So in that sense, i am happy there is an agreement with the red cross and western powers to do something about the situation. Kadri liik thank you very much for sharing your analysis here on france 24. The World Health Organization has ruled ebola sufferers can be given experimental drugs to beat the fatal virus. People infected in liberia are first in line to be treated. A spanish priest who is being treated with the same drug in madrid has died. The World Health Organization has taken a drastic decision authorizing the use of experimental drugs in the fight against ebola without following the usual pathway. There was an agreement among the experts that in the special circumstances of the outbreak, it is ethical to offer unregistered intervention as potential treatment or prevention. Usually a drug must go through a long process before getting on the market. First, it is tested on animals and then on a Smaller Group of humans for safety and then testing moves to a larger group of people to confirm its effectiveness and monitor side effects. That is the path this drug was on at first. It was given to two american patients that are believed to be recovering from the virus. In the face of the current outbreak, the w. H. O. Chose to skip those steps. If this treatment can save lives, should we not use them to save lives . On the other hand, they have not been tested on humans. So what can we not foresee from animal testing . Strict ethical criteria would have to guide the provision of the treatment. Many other dilemmas linked to the authorization will emerge. For instance, who will get to try the treatment . Or even should other experimental drugs be rolled out in africa for other diseases .

The number of weapons found inside the Muslim Brotherhood amounted to about 15 for a camp that had upwards of 20,000 people. They are charging Egyptian Security forces were under no real threat. And there was no cause to use this kind of indiscriminate, widespread life of fire. The primary allegation is this was according to plan. This was not a case of poorly trained security people or a situation that got out of hand because the Security Officers were under threat. This was always the plan, to use this force and pile up this kind of casualties. Talks continue between the israelis and hamas. The blockade of gaza has been the subject of discussion.
