Anne soy has more Rebecca Cheptegei was a much loved member of this community, military workers say farewell to Rebecca Cheptegei. Back in her home she fell victim to domestic violence. Thousands of local residents turned out for the funeral. They said rebecca was a much loved member of the community and who inspired many children to take up athletics. She died in kenya after her former boyfriends poured petrol on her and set her on fire. We are guilty on her and set her on fire. We are guilty as on her and set her on fire. Are guilty as governments but also the community is guilty. It is not know even in the local community that rebecca was facing family problems.

We have a right to live and No One has a right to take Someones Life or daughter, Someones Life or daughter, someone whose family depends on. President zelensky has again stressed ukraine needs more long range weapons and Air Defence capabilities. His remarks came after Sir Keir Starmer and Joe Biden held talks on whether to permit ukraine to use western weapons against targets inside russia but didnt announce a change in policy. The former us special representative for ukraine negotiations, kurt volker, says any change to Missile Policy might not be made public Tx Sot Policy might not be made public some of this may get loosened up behind the scenes, you may see the us not object to the uk allowing Storm Shadows to go and you may see some shift in us position but just not announced as some sort of new policy. But ukrainian frustrations are palpable and i think its justified. Meanwhile, nato� s highest military authorities have been meeting in prague, for the annual military committee conference. The final conclusion of the committee is always the highest Military Recommendation for the political leaders of the alliance.

This might comes too late for ukraine. With ukraine. This might comes too late for Uk War. With ukraine. This might comes too late for Uk War against of winning this War Against russia . How effective with this policy be for your country . Winning this war of course will consist In The End on the one hand our Military Operations and we are, for example our Kursk Operation resulted in the possibility of us replenishing our exchange of Prisoners Of War and we have successfully returned today 103 ukrainian war heroes, yesterday 49. Militarily is one thing, the diplomatic front is the other important front where our diplomats are on a daily basis trying to impose pressure on russia to make it unsustainable to continue the war. Its not any one simple or single factor that will determine the outcome of the war but taken together and permission to use long range weapons will be an important factor to bring us closer to our victory. Closer to our victory. Thank ou. At least four people have been killed and thousands of homes damaged in romania as heavy rainfall caused floods in eastern parts of the country. Authorities are creating Displacement Camps and sending Emergency Aid to those forced to evacuate their homes. Poland and the Czech Republic have also been affected by The Rain, part of cyclone boris. Lets speak to our warsaw correspondent, adam easton. Thank you forjoining us on the programme. Talk us through the impact of the cyclone across the region. Impact of the cyclone across the region impact of the cyclone across the region. Impact of the cyclone across the reaion. ~. ,. , the region. What the cyclone is doinu is the region. What the cyclone is doing is causing the region. What the cyclone is doing is causing extreme the region. What the Cyclone Isj doing is causing extreme heavy rainfall which is leading to dangerously high River Levels, Water Levels in the rivers across the region, many have burst their banks and that is causing flooding in many countries particularly as you mentioned in romania where four people have been found dead in the east of the country by the danube delta, 5000 homes have been damaged in the flooding and the remaining authorities have as you said to set up Displacement Camps to provide blankets and food for people forced to evacuate their homes. In romania and in the Czech Republic, the floods have caused Tens Of Thousands of people to lose power, they have no power at the moment and its disrupting transport in the Czech Republic and in poland and the worst could be yet to come because donald tusk, the prime minister, he is visiting the worst affected areas in southern poland which borders the Czech Republic and he says is going to be a critical night for mobilisation full mobilisation is required because The Rainfall is expected to continue and the River Levels are expected to get higher and more River Banks are expected to be breached and the flooding is expected to be worse. What the authorities across the region are saying is please co operate with the Emergency Services when they ask you to evacuate, which is obviously a very difficult decision for people to make, they say please co operate and evacuate because the most important thing is the romanian prime minister said, is to prevent more deaths because we have seen many deaths from flooding in central and Eastern Europe and many people are saying the Rainfall And River levels remind them of the massive floods in Central Europe in 97 when more than 100 people died in the czech Republic And Poland due to extremely heavy rainfall. find extremely heavy rainfall. And how much extremely heavy rainfall. And how much help extremely heavy rainfall. And how much help is extremely heavy rainfall. And how much help is coming to the people in the region there . All they need help from other eu countries for example . At they need help from other eu countries for example . At the moment its countries for example . At the moment its just countries for example . At the moment its just the countries for example . At the moment itsjust the Nationall Moment its just the national authorities dealing with co ordinating their own responses in each individual country and if there were to be an extreme situation in any one particular country then of course there could be some sort of European Union or group of alliance to respond to help the worst affected areas. At the moment, people arejust worst affected areas. At the moment, people are just telling residents to co operate with the Emergency Services and one good thing at least is although these occurrences of Rainfall And Flooding becoming more and more frequent, one thing is it means many countries who have experienced it in the past have invested millions in a flood protection, dams and things like that so many countries are actually in a better position to deal with this Flooding And Rainfall than they were in recent years. The government of South Sudan is holding an Emergency CabinetSouth Sudans cabinet has endorsed a two Year Extension of the transitional government, which means national elections will be delayed. The polls were due to take place this december. President salva kiir� s office said the Election Delay was necessary in order to complete essential tasks, including writing a new constitution. Some South Sudanese see the postponement as further evidence of a political elite being reluctant to give up power. They put out this statement saying simply the country is not ready to hold these elections in december, there is too much work to be done including something to do with getting the new constitution ready but also lots of Electoral Reform needed, registration of Political Parties and getting a vote sorted out so a lot of work to be done. But this is not the first postponement of elections and as you say, there many people including some in South Sudan saying weve got a president who has effectively been in power since 2005 and the country became independent in 2011 and quickly went into Civil War for five years and after that, he has then used postponement is to stay in power and theres this arrangement where is former fellow is one of his Vice President s so there are accusations that by kicking the elections down the road further, these politicians, we are notjust talking about those two but the entire political elite, remain in power. This is a country that is oil rich and there is a lot of concern about the fact that Oil Money is not getting to the people of South Sudan. So although some people will say we dont want to rock the boat, it is a fragile country, maybe it is best to postpone the elections, there are those who will say this is for the benefit of the politicians. And what happens in terms of the Security Situation in South Sudan . The Civil War ended a few years ago but there is still quite a fragile peace. What implications have on the Security Situation . Is hard to say when there are Rebel Groups are still active, at least one Rebel Group towards the south still active and may not take kindly to this announcement. Things are relatively calm and we have to use a word relative because things have been so bad over the last ten, 15 years, that the chance of the Peace Agreement unravelling because of this is always going to be there. Up until now, there has been a lot of pressure from the international community, South Sudan came out of the Civil War thanks to a lot of pressure from different countries pushing for the water and an they have held quite a lot of sway but at the moment was so much else going on in the world with conflict, even in neighbouring sudan with the war there, i think its unlikely there will be a lot of international pressure on politicians to change their decision about this postponement of the election. And imagine the conflict in neighbouring sudan. We want to point viewers to situation lets speak to edmund yakani, executive director at the Community Empowerment for progress organisation. Thank you forjoining us. Talk us through your reaction to this news from the cabinet in South Sudan. South sudan. Thank you. My reaction is South Sudan. Thank you. My reaction is disappointment, | reaction is disappointment, its an extension for the suffering of citizens. In this phase of the economic situation, flooding in the country, political instability in parts of the country and an extension of malpractices because they are in a Transition Process where citizens have no power to hold them accountable. Mps are working with thousands of dollars of medical allowances, transporting, and why theyve gone on for ten months without any salaries and have families now breaking down simply because of a lack of political commitment. So i dont think the big issue is they dont have money or time, they simply dont have the Will And Commitment to deliver the country from the current instability. Country from the current instability. Country from the current instabili. ,. , instability. Lets power on with the interview instability. Lets power on with the interview even instability. Lets power on with the interview even though instability. Lets power on with j the interview even though line is freezing. The question is whether South Sudan was ready to hold elections because in terms of bureaucracy and holding these elections, the elections were far behind any expectations and it would be impossible for december. Unfortunately it seems we have lost the line, we were speaking to a member of the civil society about the decision by the countrys cabinets to postpone elections for december for another two years. More on that as soon as we get it. Lets get an Update Ontyphoon Yagi which has hit several asian countries. The typhoon has now caused severe flooding in myanmar with more than 230,000 people forced to leave their homes, according to off
