Because we have seen how people are dying it would temper and benny night and day the 2nd was an outbreak in the countrys history was declared a year ago and has since claimed the lives of 1700 people its 2nd only to the outbreak in west africa that killed 11000 people 5 Years Ago Health workers trying to come back to the outbreak or having to deal with militia groups and communities both hostile to them as well as Port Infrastructure in vast regions where villages are hard to reach. For to mark a humble is an airborne a survivor who spends her time taking care of children whose parents are sick or dead she also talks to people who have been in the town of benny about the importance of health care some congolese want to know about a new ball a vaccine theyve hired about from other. People are saying the new proposed vaccine isnt good Health Workers need to seem surprised people so they can understand because this virus needs to go away the proposal by the World Health Organization to use a vaccine for Clinical Trials is controversial critics say the drug is experimental and shouldnt be tested on congolese people with ses vaccination is important for research expect. We need to. Try to get more information on the set. Of recommendations the best. Because. Back in goma doctors try to work out how to stop the disease from spreading Health Workers in goma say the wall prepared to deal with this situation theyve set up hand washing points in different parts of the city they say the Treatment Centers are well equipped and they have enough personnel but theyre also warning people to keep vigil avoid unnecessary contact with each other not to warry of people that weve been speaking to in goma a telling us its very difficult to keep calm at this moment catherine so joins us live now from nairobi and so lets talk 1st about reports of this young baby in goma who we understand is contracted the disease what more do we know. Well this girl is a dose of that man weve mentioned in that story she was tested positive with a boy last evening her dad as i mentioned died on wednesday afternoon as shes currently at a Treatment Center in goma weve been told shes in Critical Condition her mother is also in an Isolation Unit where shes waiting for our own resolves so this is causing a lot of concern in goma its a city of more than 1000000 people weve been talking to neighbors of this family who are quite afraid theyre saying that they dont know who this family could have gotten. In touch with who they could have made contact with so theyre also saying that they need Health Workers to come there and vaccinate them so the concern is not just that theres a lot of concern as well because go my itself is quite strategic its one of the major cities in congo its very easy to get to other countries from goma its also quite easy to move around the country on both move around the country on boats using the road and on air using the air as well including to reach a place like a cup of coffee to kinshasa which has 12000000 people so there is a lot of fear and a lot of concern right now in goma and catherine rwanda had earlier closed the border with a d r c and there are some reports now that its been open what have you been hearing there nairobi. There was a press conference that was held i think about an hour ago by Rwandan Government officials and representatives of the World Health Organization in londons capital kigali and they did confirm that indeed the border is now reopened they said that it was just temporarily closed because of technical reasons to evaluate the situation but again i think this has come after a lot of pressure from different quarters if you remember daryn when World Health Organization was declaring. A Public Health emergency of International Concern the officials there said that countries should not close their borders because this is just going to make the situation worse that people might resort now to using other informal crossings where the no proper medical check points so theres a lot of relieved now on the border of been talking all day to people on both sides of the border who are stuck so a lot of relief now that the border is open. But still like i said a lot of concern that this disease may spread or at a conference in nairobi catherine thank you well lets bring in Trish Newport shes Deputy Program manager for a burner response and the humanitarian agency Doctors Without Borders and she joins us via skype from geneva trish good to have you back on the program so reports of this young child in goma just a year old we understand contracting the disease this just underlines how difficult it is for aid groups and the authorities to stop the spread of ebola. So the situation is really critical you know there have been over 2600. 00 cases since the beginning of the outbreak a year ago over 1700. 00 deaths but whats really concerning is is the characteristics of this data so right now every week about 40 percent of all the new cases were never identified as people at risk of having the disease so you need to be able to have a good Contact Tracing system in place or else you dont know who is at risk and where they are and that creates a big concern and a big risk of spread interest only a rwanda had closed the border with the d r c we now hear that its open but what challenges does the border place on groups like Doctors Without Borders a consequent i mean a bona of a treatment yet so many people come and go across the border yes that border in goma is extremely busy there are about 15000 people that pass through the border every day but the concern is if you close the border its not going to stop people from crossing the border theyre going to find other ways so whats really important is that the borders are reinforced with proper screening so that everyone passing through the border is screened to see if they have a fever and if they do they can be further evaluated to see if theres someone thats at risk of having a bolo or if they have the 1st symptoms that closing the border is going to cause problems for moving the material and the people that are used for the it break but more concerning is this idea of people finding other ways to cross the border where they wont be screened and trish about just about 2 weeks ago the Congolese Health minister resigned over what he said was outside pressure to roll out this new experimental vaccine so just briefly what is the issue with this vaccine was it so controversial. Its a good question so the best scene that its been used so far in the break is one that requires just one dose and within 10 days you have protection against the virus we have seen that its very effective this new next ean thats being discussed is one that requires 2 doses about 56 days apart so theres a lot of discussion about if we know we have an effective vaccine thats being used in the his taken so long to get acceptance by the population if theres enough of that vaccine and we know its effective why introduce another vaccine into into this outbreak thats the big question that there is just a final thought from you because we were talking to you about this yesterday that roughly a 3rd of all a bone of deaths a dog nose off to the person has died which highlights the high number of people who avoid it but a Treatment Center so what needs to be done do you think to engage constructively with the community to improve the response yeah this is a huge problem the problem is that weve the people the response has never gained the trust of the population and so what we need to be doing is not just be addressing people live at the addressing the priorities of the population when you ask people what their priorities are evil isnt always the 1st one its a bit of nisa having treatment for measles malaria having access to water having security and we cant just ignore that there are all of these other problems happening in the country and we cant just focus on ebola so we really have to dialogue with the Community Ask them how they want ebola to be responded to in their community but also ask them what their priorities are and how we should be addressing those things Chris Newport thank you very much indeed for your time thank you thank you. Now the United Nations will investigate attacks on un supported facilities including hospitals in northwest syria the secretary general antonio good ted as announced the probe of the 2 thirds of the Security Council petitioned for it the investigation will look into Syrian Government and russian airstrikes on 14 sites in the province attacks continue in the region in spite of an agreement in september by turkey and russia to make the area a deescalation zone mike hanna joins us live now from the u. N. In new york mike so what more do we know about this inquiry thats been ordered by the un secretarygeneral well the exact terms of it are student still to be established but its very clear that until you can tell us who has been accused by many of dragging his feet on the sole issue he insisted that he was waiting for agreement in the Security Council to take some form of action but very clearly that is not the case russia and China Holding out against any united position on those ongoing attacks in syria so now the terrorist has announced that he will establish an internal board of inquiry the composition of the board not clear at this particular point its mandate is to look at damage done to you in controlled facilities in northwestern syria terrorists being very careful to specify that it is directly under u. N. Control the factors that he is investigating so the nature of the inquiry will learn in the days and indeed weeks ahead but one thing that is instructive is to look back to 2014 when the terraces previous says established a similar board of inquiry into incidents in gaza which did come out with a concretion pointing fingers both that israel and hamas in gaza at that particular point so one could expect this board of inquiry to end up pointing fingers naming names and i suppose the big question mike is will this make any difference to the people on the ground in limit self. Well any deescalation of the conflict there surely would have an impact on the civilians who directly involved remembering that more than 400 civilians have been killed in recent months 440000 displaced by this ongoing conflict so any action that results in some form of deescalation certainly would impact the lives of those on the ground however once again this inquiry is focusing on damage to physical structures medical facilities structures and u. N. Control it is not specifying the impact on the civilians who are caught up in this ongoing conflict that is perhaps a point of criticism thats going to be made in the weeks to come to my kind of there at the u. N. In new york mike thank you well a couple of kazakhstan is the venue for the latest talks on ending the war in rebel held areas of syria under simmons has more now from nursultan. A senior delegate from the Syrian National coalition has told aljazeera that there can be no concessions from them on any political settlement until theres a full ceasefire announced by russia and the Syrian Regime in lip theres already Major Pressure from the United Nations on all parties to stop the fighting and a call from 2 thirds of the u. N. Security Council Earlier this week for antonio the security general of the u. N. To mount an internal investigation to attacks on medical facilities the russians counter that this is propaganda that there is not anything going on other than attacks on what they call terrorists now as far as the meetings here go the iranians and russians have had a meeting the Syrian National coalition will be meeting United Nations delegation which is an observer status mission the u. N. Is trying to broker a deal with the Syrian Regime to have all parties together in a committee a committee for the constitution but theres still no final agreement on that nothing it appears can be agreed until there is some solution for all the fighting and all the deaths thats happened in it live in the past 3 months it isnt going away it seems and theres a question mark over whether or not there can be some sort of deal to stop that fighting. Now the front runner in the race to be the democratic partys nominee to challenge donald trump has had a tough night former Vice President joe biden faced attacks from 9 other president ial hopefuls during a 2nd night of debates john hendren reports from detroit. The front runner spot was joe bidens to lose any plan to win or go down fighting in debate one comolli harris attacked biden got a boost in the polls. On the way in to debate 2 easy minutes later on question one he has sailed her plan for publicly funded health care the senators had several plans for you cant be president trying with double talk on this plan we are now paying 3 bill a trillion dollars a year for health care in america over the next 10 years its probably going to be 6 trillion dollars we must then inside detroits fox theater came an avalanche of counterattacks on immigration it looks like one of us has learned the lessons of the past and one of us hasnt on criminal justice because you stood up and used that tough on crime phony rhetoric that got a lot of people liked it but destroyed communities like mine and on Climate Change Washington State governor jay inslee called bidens plan in adequate his disagreement with his response with me it did. When he said. Theres no work in the south this is our last chance in the next presidency we had to move our house is on fire were going to put it out. Had a target on his back he was hit again and again by his critics. Back over the next few days the polls will determine whether those repeated attacks left a lasting mark to win against president democrats who have to win in states like michigan which won in 2016 Detroiter Mario Mauro has some advice come here often work hard to make sure they connect with the voters make sure there is some type of connection with issues. Just black issues we black folks like everybody else want to talk about those issues that are going to be successful in the future student loan. In his Closing Remarks biden bungled his own fund raising phone number he meant to say tax joe to 30330 instead he said go to joe 30330 and help me in this fight the repeated attacks that apparently rattled the leading candidate john hendren 08 detroit. White house correspondent kimberly halakhah joins us live now from washington d. C. Kim you said joe biden that faced face of tanks from all sides last night but was a clear winner of the debate committee. Will many people say the winner of the debate was donald trump the current u. S. President given the fact that what we saw there on the stage was the democrats attacking each other tacking many of the values that democrats stand for instead of the man that they want to replace in the white house and we really saw for joe biden there it wasnt just on issues Like Health Care criminal Justice Reform that genic generational gaffe was really highlighted on the stage as well it wasnt just the bungling of a phone number its started off badly for the former Vice President when he said to come to harris who starred within the last debates you know go easy on me kid he came right out of his own mouth so the problem in all of this is that while democrats are trying to sell a message of the future to connect with voters even though the election is more than a year away instead what they did was really a tough one another instead of sell their own aspirational message and President Trump is attending one of his big rallies in cincinnati tonight so how has he been responding to the debates. Yeah well the president clearly watched these debates he tweeted immediately afterward really trying to frame what will be the arguments we expect once that democratic nominee is chosen and officially named a year from now in milwaukee at the Democratic National convention the president tweeting that it really comes down to a choice of keeping America Great and his view or letting go of the prosperity and success so that is what we expect the president will be talking about as he heads to a Campaign Rally in Cincinnati Ohio a what is also something that well be watching very carefully for when the president takes the stage is whether or not he will do anything to discourage those chants that we saw in his last rally in North Carolina where we heard many of his supporters saying send her back with regard to home are the freshman congresswoman who is foreign born now a u. S. Citizen the president didnt seem to do anything to discourage that he said later that he was not happy about those chants so well be watching to
