It was very different to the first trip we had to al aqsa. We didnt see a huge amount of trauma. We did some trauma cases, but the amount of trauma was much, much worse before. But what we did see were the most appalling effects of the malnutrition that were seeing across gaza. Severe malnutrition prevents Wound Healing and will prevent these patients from recovering from injuries that otherwise they would recover easily from. And you get this vicious cycle where they really rapidly deteriorate in their health. They will then die of that if theyre not treated. But these are often very young people who under normal circumstances, would recover fairly well from their operations. But because they have such severe malnutrition, their wounds will not heal properly at all. One of my patients, lhama, was an 18 Year Old Girl who had significant explosive injuries. Theres no doubt in my mind she would have survived these injuries if she had not been malnourished. Very sadly, she died the day we
Midnight in london and 2am in saudi arabia, where President Trump has urged Muslim Leaders to drive out terrorism from their countries. Speaking at a summit in riyadh, he described it as a battle between good and evil. The president also used Strong Language against iran, saudi arabias biggest rival, accusing it of fuelling sectarian conflict and terror. The bbcsjon sopel was there. The president has been on a deep immersion into middle east politics today, and a charm offensive, meeting a host of arab and gulf leaders from across the region. And one central geopolitical subject, the fight against islamist extremism, and how to make good on his pledge to destroy so called Islamic State. But after the trenchant and, some would say islamophobic, language of the trump Election Campaign, the president chose a much more moderate tone today. We are not here to lecture. We are not here to tell other people how to live, what to do, how to be or how to worship. Instead, we are here to offer par
When president Muhamadu Buhari won the nigerian presidency two years ago it seemed like africas most populous nation had turned a corner. A first ever peaceful democratic transition bought a promise of cleaner, better governance and Major Economic reform. Hows it going . Well, my guest today is emmanuel ibe kachikwu, minister of state for petroleum resources. Can Oil Dependent nigeria transform itself into a modern, Trading Economy . Emmanuel ibe kachikwu, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you, stephen. I guess the lesson of the last two years or so, with president Muhamadu Buhari in power, is that nigeria remains dangerously overreliant upon oil. Well, yes. Clearly over reliant. I dont know if its dangerously. Look at the positive sides of oil, in terms of what it has done to the country over the years. When the price slumps, its dangerous. Oh yes. We would love to see, obviously, a lot more diversification, a lot of effort is going into that, emphasis on agriculture, tourism areas, emphasis
Had the personality to be in the dugout. Some thought he may have been a yes man for the president , some said he not have the experience. But he has proved eve ryo ne experience. But he has proved everyone wrong. He has been head coach as 17 months and now he has w011 coach as 17 months and now he has won three titles. An incredible performance by him again. The most successful head coach since the 2003 coach. Remember if he can win the Champions League cup again, they have not done that double in decades. We need to do is talk about cristiano rinaldo. He has come good at just the right cristiano rinaldo. He has come good atjust the right time. 1a goals in the last nine games of the season. Rinaldo settle the nerves against mullard was the goal after two minutes. Remarkable statistics yet again. He scored 25 or more lowly go goals in eight consecutive seasons. 14 goals in eight consecutive seasons. 1a or more in all competitions in consecutive seasons and it will mean a lot to him bec
