Hundreds of people are in a standoff with un peacekeepers and Security Forces in the democratic republic of congo after another day of protest its just gone 5 pm in the town of benny with 2 people and they are confirmed killed after crowds tried to march towards an airport where un forces based now theyre venting their anger against the u. N. Forces for failing to protect them from attacks by rebel groups 4 people were killed on monday as protesters attacked u. N. Compounds and set fire to the town hall the unrest has now forced the World Health Organization to pull almost a 3rd of its staff from beni which is grappling with an Ebola Outbreak it warns the instability will most certainly lead to an increase in ebola cases well im a buddhist the head of the United Nations in grand nord benny a little earlier he told my colleague Martin Dennis that the peacekeepers are not firing live ammunition protesters. 1st of course we are aware of the demonstrators who are making their way and we are at the same time making every effort to continue to dialogue with these demonstrators and their leaders as well as to the National Authorities local and in government and in contrast to ensure. And return to peace and security in the region but it doesnt seem to be working so far does it because people in beni appear to be furious at correspondent telling us that people have been setting fire to cars people their young men on the streets with machetes they are claiming that the u. N. That she fired at them there were several casualties yesterday and said that the u. N. Soldiers actually fired live rounds at this at the case. We didnt know of. But demonstrators. We have. Our troops and our Police Officers who are trained in red control who provided protection to our compound while it was being attacked for hours at a time we did not fire at demonstrators we have used our Police Officers who have the capacity and the means to control the. Demonstrators and this is what happened last night that some is going to give me what did they use then what does the un police use and if not live rounds when they are trying to exercising tactics in crowd control what sort of i mean nation do they use. Our Police Officers have to gas they also have the shields they have the batons and they have the tactics to. Address. The demonstrations including when they are very violent it is important to note that these the street sions were very violent despite that we. Made sure that we exist sites the utmost restraint both in terms of our. Reaction to the large crowd that was very very violent and that kept coming towards our base for hours. Lets discuss the situation in benny now with adam de who is the head of programs that u. N. University set of a policy research he was also a Senior Advisor to the u. S. Mission in the d. L. C. And he joins us now from new york where you are perfectly placed to answer this question you were there as a as an advisor clearly the people believe the u. N. Forces of the to protect them and they not doing it whats the problem. Well i think that the 1st point is that this is not a new problem theres been cycles of violence for at least the last 5 years and the Democratic Forces have been there for decades and theres a fairly predictable pattern which is that the Congolese Army will do in a an attack against i. D. F. Positions the idea will then attack civilian populations in the civilian populations will then carry out either demonstrations or attacks in this case against the u. N. And so when last month there was a large and and fairly uncoordinated id say Congolese Army operation against the a. D. F. Most people who follow this situation could have predicted that there would be retaliation attacks against the civilian population so i think one of the one of the aspects of this is a fairly recurrent pattern the other is an expectations gap there is a huge set of expectations around what the un can do in many in particular and the fact that the un for really the 1st time has a mandate that allows it to carry out operations often simple meaning they dont need to wait for an attack by the they can actually attack i. D. F. Training camps or wherever they find them using the force Intervention Brigade which is an innovation in the un this is raised expectations that manu sco will be able to protect the civilian population in a large and very complicated area its one thing for they be for there to be an expectation gap and the people not properly understanding what the mandate these it is another for the un to be firing on people and thats what the people the sign now that they are being fired on as they as they protest and attack the un bisons themselves. Yeah im not on the ground there right now i think omar described a situation where it looked like they were defending a base that had been under attack but i will say that when i was there in congo there were several incidents of stone throwing and a high level of discontent and i do think that things have reached a new pitch now that i have never seen before in terms of the level of discontent and obviously there is a kind of perfect storm of. Difficult challenges including the bold outbreak and the rise in attacks this is not the last the most recent attack is not actually the biggest in the last couple of months and so i think it is really reaching a different level of. Difficulty with the local population and this plays directly into the allied Democratic Forces strategy doesnt it because part of the strategy is when theyre attacked they go off to civilians they make it more difficult to try to treat the ball the sufferers as well they then turn the people against the state so what youre describing here this perfect storm actually feeds into the strategy of the i. D. F. I think thats exactly right and one of the shortcomings i think of many of the views of the a. D. F. Is they treat it as a military only group the a. D. F. Is deeply embedded in local communities in the benny and broader area a military set of attacks is not going to solve the problem something that actually would turn the communities against the a. D. F. In the longer term i think would be a strategy that would work better and i think that the un has tried some some work in that area but i do think that continuing to use offensive force against the a. D. F. As the Congolese Army has is certainly going to continue to fuel this cycle and as you say it is playing into a very very much the sands in this was at a good to have you on the program thank you for giving a shit on thank you scott. Well theres much more to discuss in one of the situation on the ground out jazeera produce a lion or a county has been closely following that story in benny and he joins us on the line so just bring us up to date on what youve been seeing and hearing in benny itself. What we were just. Really trying to experience the determination of these people. Has been raining heavily this morning but you can still. You can still see this people 100000 1 protesters coming group of 100 and you see them 200 more than 200 calling and coming back to the same position to the same block which was set up this morning by local 4 forces trying to protect the line which is taking People Stress to the 2nd u. N. Military bases at the airport or spending so theyre really to 5 because its really raining here but they did launch going back home they did not discourage they had to come in they said that we will call we will cross this place we will finally take over the base of the u. N. Because they feel here and do not stop until theyre released this is what we just want to see. A line so lets be clear about what they want your describing there that they want the u. N. Forces out because they believe that they not being protected indeed but i believe they are being fired upon this is one of the biggest un operations anywhere in the wool peacekeeping operation so where does this go to from here. Yeah exactly theyre saying that this u. N. Normally mandate is giving him capacity and the possibility of engaging i. D. F. We doubt even the i. D. F. The army they do believe that yes the army is organized but theyre saying at least this is a big un mission. In india wed save the capacity they have even on the right not against you and saying that theyre using it equipped to disperse the protesters instead of using the cemetery copters which is founded by the towns and of countries around the world because to support to to protect the civilians but for them un is not really much really using demanded and the capacity that has been given to him by decree Security Council this is why they dont want to un he again because they dont believe it most of the people civilians those who were killed here in the beginning it just near the un compound near the un areas this lady population are saying definitely un is. Dealing they have some connection with the keyless they are now clearly accusing the u. N. To be in connection with the killers here in the bin specially we a. D. F. This is why they dont like us again here they will take over what we did after but they have to finish because of all we did United Mission peacekeepers and all the mission they dont want to see us around the display is a lie move continue to monitor the situation with you thank you again. Now to libya where the current caretaker Prime Minister saad hariri says he doesnt want to lead the next government hes urging president michel aoun to name a new Prime Minister after consulting different parties saad hariri resigned last month after antigovernment protests swept across lebanon people have been voicing their anger against corruption and sick tyrian politics lets go live to zona hotel in by route but its been much backlash from supporters of his baller and others against protesters demanding change we want to get 1st of all resigned the Immediate Reaction that youre hearing and seeing to the news that saad hariri does not want to contest this Prime Minister. Well those in the street the protesters they say well we never wanted him to return to office in the 1st place we consider him part of the political establishment he has been in power for years and hes part of the system and we dont want him to return to office but there is a reality 11 on this is a country divided by sects and he considers himself and he is a leader in this country so if he doesnt return to office and the other camp appoints another a Prime Minister another candidate who is allied to them then you will see anger within the Sunni Community so political turmoil more uncertainty some believe how do you he could be playing his cards saying hes no longer interested in having a new government blaming the Ruling Alliance for blaming him really for standing in the way towards a solution telling them ok you come up with a candidate he knows he has International Standing he knows he has International Support and he also knows he has the support from sundays in lebanon the 1st reaction were getting sources from the president ial palace saying that the president is now going to hold binding parliamentary consultations on thursday sources not the president which makes some believe that this could be also a tactic to pressure heidi. Changed his mind because the Ruling Alliance the hezbollah led Ruling Alliance is very well aware that if they push ahead with their own government it risks International Isolation so what we have now is a situation where you have a political crisis feeding into a National Crisis feeding into an economic crisis and of course as weve seen in recent days as will violence from sheer groups against the protesters its a its a perfect storm that really raises questions about just where the country goes to from here. It is the worst crisis since the end of the civil war in 1998 a deeply divided society you mention violence yes the past 2 nights there has been violence linked to the crisis supporters of the 2 parties are hezbollah theyre part of the governing alliance they were riding in the streets on motorcycles carrying party flags chanting sectarian slogans chanting slogans so in support of their leadership intimidating the protesters who are in the streets theyve destroyed the camp sites really saying that we are ready to resort to force if to protect the political power we have gained they believe that the protest movement has been hijacked they believe that the protest movement is doing the bidding of foreign powers particularly western powers against the hezbollah hezbollah believes that if they are left out of the government they will be weakened what does the street want the street wants an independent nonpartisan government to lead this country. To call for early elections to carry out much needed reforms what theres a Ruling Alliance want they say yes well agree to a few technocrats in the government but we insist on Political Representation so no thank you senator joining us live from beirut well its plenty more ahead on the news out including an election route no concessions from hong kong to end the months long protest against the leadership. This water that you see here is salty water from the. Hated and not causing is enormous damage. Europes Floating City underwater off the record flooding.

The earth shook while most people were fast asleep the power of the quake caught on surveillance cameras. Notability. Me i felt it in my bedroom went to my kids room in the door slammed on me both my arms this is war or. The early hours of tuesday turned into a search for survivors some fatalities are being reported hospitals have been treating hundreds of injuries the 6. 00 magnitude quake with its epicenter 34 kilometers northwest of the capital to donna caused a few buildings to collapse its a 2nd earthquake to strike albania in the last few months the last one in september measured 5. 00 and damaged hundreds of homes Stephanie Decker aljazeera. Is live indoors which is one of the areas affected just as up to date on what youre seeing there right now in the efforts to rescue people and to deal with the destruction. Yes this one is just one of the buildings which collapsed in this early earthquake really big earthquake in which hit.

Yes its really difficult because in this building right now below it theres a person who is waiting to be rescued but its really really difficult job to reach her because they couldnt you see theyre trying to move the bigger parts because they cannot move and do with their bare hands anymore theyre trying to pick up the bigger parts and then to try to dig and try to reach that person thats the case in all of duress on the other hand the major problem here is that all the being links are really tore up and really close so if it hits again most of these people will be in serious danger actually in one moment like 20 minutes ago there was like a big fear this is the moment when things started to shake and a little bit in all of them started like 2 to run away from the buildings but theyre so close in there so high that it will be definitely a one sleepless night for the habitants of duress and there will be no doubt about that melissa thank you bring us up to date.

Some kind of story you know just decisions in the parliament they will have this kind of this conference around the parliament. Attempting to block functions of the state is not a solution or a peaceful gathering its obvious that the right to peaceful demonstration will be gathered by the government and the state but at the same time of course the state will have a reaction of someone tries to violate the law but at the same time of course the state will have a reaction if someone tries to violate the law and tries to block state functions or institutions.

To assist the community was safe perls and most of these operations are not. Not being able to be carried out right now so out of 120. 00 staff we normally have in around binny we had till now temporary relocate a proud to a 3rd of it in 49. 00 staff to continue their operations from from goma. That is the 1st time we ever had to do this so this shows as severe if you have the situation at the same time 71. 00 of our staffs a good 2 thirds actually stay on the ground and will try to continue even in these circumstances the best they can the operations on a daily basis in a much smaller scale and that is exactly the challenge because unable of iras which we were very close to getting rid of already has now a big chance to to continue spreading in a scenario where you dont have control over.

S. Now says its up to the israeli courts to determine legalities and abraham was at those protests in ramallah in the occupied west bank.

Secretary of states why pompei o has said the baby was no longer considers israeli settlements a violation of International Law around darwin its a coup for palestinians to unite we want to share with the Israeli Occupation that we stand here united in process injuring confrontations protests have started in the sometimes of towns across the occupied west bank the Palestinian Authority urged people to take the streets were school am Public Institutions were given.

The extension in august citing security concerns especially over the disputed territory of kashmir 1st attorney is due to end on friday judges they need more evidence to show that the extension is justified. Is in islam about. The chief judge. Stan took up a red drawl application in a petition that works. Against the Extension Granted to the Pakistani Military chiefs now although this was a draw application and that did your best foundation which had filed their application wanted it to be drawn the chief justice decided to take this up in what he said was the Public Interest it is going to be important to see whether the court is just moving on procedural matters because the chief justice decided to suspend that notification issued by the pakistani Prime Minister earlier on the 19th of august which granted general. Barger an extension because of the extraordinary situation prevailing after the unilateral action by india over the next station of the 2 countries to the word war so all eyes will now be on the Supreme Court but it appears that this is a procedural matter because the attorney general was not able to satisfy the court as to whether the procedure opted for the extension was correct it would need permission and of course the nord of approval from the pakistani president so the next 24 hours will be important and it will be important to see whether this is just a procedural matter or whether it is more than that. More than a 1000000 Indigenous People across india are fighting for their right to live in the forests indias Supreme Court is expected to decide whether they will be allowed to stay some conservationists and politicians argue the forest will is damage the environment and salvor has more from forest in protests forests like these have been home to the Indigenous People of india for generations they eat what they grow drink from the stream and worship nature as their ancestors did its enough they say in fact much better than being subjected to open squalor that they have seen their neighbors and friends those who were forced out of the forests go through this a that they thought that their rights to live of the forests was finally guaranteed under the Forest Rights act back in 2006 but since the courts order vixens fear has lingered in this community now they allege that the authorities are going to use turning the forests into a sanctuary for wildlife as an excuse to benefit themselves and the corporates that they favor but Human Rights Watch report accuses police of using Excessive Force against protesters and serious Human Rights Violations demonstrations against income inequality and police the person have been going on now for over a month to us Human Rights Watchdog says 26. 00 people have been killed and more than 2300. 00 civilians injured despite this the governments announced plans to use the armed forces to protect Public Infrastructure without letting america is really seen human joins us now from capitol santiago and this is this is been an issue that has been around throughout these protests theyve been investigations theyve been allegations about these human rights abuses it really does to the people the Security Forces and the protesters very much against each other. Well absolutely have you see it every day on the streets now the interesting thing about this report remember there was one is an International Last week this one took more than 2 weeks to put together a team of 6 people led by a banker the director of Human Rights Watch and not only are the conclusions of the diagnostic that i know says it is worrisome but also they come out with suggestions ways to try to fix the problem if you like now more than the armed forces the army really does concentrate on the Security Forces the police principally the police and what mr vivanco just said in the News Conference ended just a few minutes ago is that the police has systematically committed grave and serious abuses of human rights also they talked about brutal beatings and a sexual abuses against people who are detained mainly women in fact and also attempts to cover up what has been done by arresting people without an arrest warrant or even without calling it a rest rather a detention so that means no paper trail what mr van gogh is saying is that the police is absolutely unequivocal quipped inefficient and is improvising and it needs to be reformed immediately in order to end these abuses and furthermore that the the culprits must be brought to justice underlining that there cannot be impunity otherwise the chilean state could be held accountable but what about the response from the government itself because as we said before these are allegations that have been around now for weeks and the government citing they could be new to to use armed forces to protect Public Infrastructure. Well you know the public these are 2 separate things the president is asking for the army to be allowed to go out onto the streets to protect our Critical Infrastructure and this has not happened yet because the chilean law until now only allows that to happen if a state of emergency has been declared that didnt take place for 10 days at the very beginning of this crisis starting date 18th of october to literally 8 of october and after that it was just the riot police but the riot police were the ones who according to Human Rights Watch of committing the greatest number of Human Rights Violations using things like. Lead covered rubber rubber covered metal pellets for example when the police was saying that it was just all rubber its unacceptable and unexplainable that the head of police doesnt know what hes shooting people with and taking their eyes out with things like that but now that the president has received this report this morning mr bungle handed it over to him personally and the hope is thats what hes saying and i think thats what many chill chileans would agree after hearing it that the government will take serious note of these recommendations so that these things dont continue this is thank you so much for the soon human life.
