Using drones and a massive number of Ballistic Missiles we stress once more that more fierce attacks and military operations on the enemy will be launched so the blockade is lifted and till our freedom and independence are gained 5 things also broken out in yemens region just hours after saudi arabia announced it had brokered a ceasefire between yemens government and the Southern Separatist group the kingdom said the 2 sides agreed to start their peace talks days after that Transitional Council took full control of the island of the culture of the internationally recognized government and called it a coup separatists want an independent state of south yemen and are backed by the United Arab Emirates lets go back to whats happening with saudi Arabia Mohammed a lot in yemens capital sanaa as we say the saudis say they intercepted a missile the who these are talking about their biggest operation yet is there any confirmation other than what the 2 sides are saying. Yes. So father of the host his claim that they have really targeted the Saudi Ministry of defense the Intelligence Center along with the with the. Airbase also with the draws they have targeted military positions. And but what we have heard from saudi arabia that they have already intercepted 3 missiles have the say that the 3 Ballistic Missiles so far we couldnt confirm. Long as the saudi arabia has already declared and we have already knew intercepted but so far the whole of the spokesperson has made it clear that they will continue more painful attacks in saudi targets the head of the. Political negotiation negotiating team. Has also made it clear that the hope he hoped that saudi arabia will will react positively to this what they have described the fall of deterrence operation that has been carried out monday night. Has continued for at least 4 hours according to eyewitnesses that they have heard also some power explosions but we couldnt independently verify such as through social media but so far the continuation of the of the attacks from both sides the. Head of the political negotiating team hope that the saudi arabia will react positively to their Peace Initiative that they have already put forward for the compliance of Peace Initiative to resolve all the differences between political factions. With an update from sanaa thank you it is in yemen as we say talked about their largest ever. Military operation strong mind of the fight has backed by iran say 8 drones and 3 Ballistic Missiles targeted saudi arabias capital riyadh while the saudis say they did intercept a missile attack followed the resumption of the fighting in yemen after the saudis announced they brokered a cease fire between yemens government and Southern Separatists forces loyal to the southern Transitional Council seize control of the island of sumatra on saturday yemens internationally recognized government describes the capture of its buildings and military bases as a coup separatists are backed by the u. A. E. And a fighting for the independent state of south yemen just to take you through the situation there are now under a screen in london to help make some sense of it all is a professor at the Defense Studies Department at Kings College london and dresses i listed off a whole lot of events there and even ceasefire is being broken in then we have the who are these talking about their biggest operation yet whats your take on it. Yes hi came out the weve seen this already lost last week there were these announced that they were planning a massive military operation against the saudis and weve seen over the last couple of months the way the ability to fly you avis to build them and fly them off the who these has massively increased so and they have quite a lot of reach with these drones not just within and joins a new emmys in yemen but also into southern saudi arabia so they have been flying them all across southern saudi or saudi arabia with almost impunity and it doesnt come as a massive surprise that theyve launched attacks such as this its been a tit for well by the transfer of technology from iran to these has increased in recent years and allowing the who these 2 basic be now how a capability that is on par with the capability to that the saudis have and as for insurgent groups theres obviously a massive massive had a to say the least for the saudis who want to secure their border and it kind of puts increasing pressure on the saudis to get out of yemen which is something they want to do theyre very desperate but it doesnt seem that though these wand really are really interested in a peace negotiation at least not one which favors the saudis and those you know trying to increase their bargaining position and that by i mean position very much works against the saudis because the saudis at this point they want to create a final agreement that provides them with security on a southern border that was started for the saudis as a war of choice in 2015 in many ways its now become more of a necessity its a major security is not the most important Security Breach in security issue for the saudi kingdom and they need to get it they need to get results and yet in such intense. Hours he doesnt make any mention of it feels that the way you describe it there the way talk about the war has changed that actually there is no or. Theres no lead in control if you like and now i mean if you look at syria we could see how the russian intervention really push things through there and change the whole thing here in yemen its just this open ended book ongoing an ongoing and as you described the his and Certain Group actually theyre far more than that. Actually there is a state within yemen and i would say in yemen we have at least 3 states at the moment to say the least so the who these and also weve got to have a government somewhat squeezed in between and the s. T. C. Whos really the big winner over the last year of the infighting in the north particular in the fighting of the in the who these hotties losing ground in and a variety of areas and theaters who is he said actually lost again quite a lot of ground also the end with making a move towards marriage which gives them access to the to oil Oil Resources which further were further out than build their state in the north and weve got now 3 states within yemen all of them as supported by Different Actors and i think the biggest loser of all this is that the government and weve seen that saudis are also kind of turned their back on harley in in many instances and supporting the s. E. C. Which is kind of counterproductive to what the saudis and she wanted to achieve in yemen so the saudis are stuck between 2 wars one in the south which the u. A. E. Beat and which is somewhat under control and the war in the north where the who these are winning and how hes getting increasingly squeezed all these wars are really wars of attrition where no side is really making any ground and it always comes amid a huge terrible human jaron crisis and they go it 19 prices which is up on human health though in this kind of chaos its really not you know you theres no end and no light at the end of the tunnel or it isnt ok thank you Andreas Craig always good to talk to you get your thoughts thank you thank you were looking at libya as well where the arab league well the arabic is holding a virtual emergency meeting on their parents calls grow to find a political solution to the crisis the french president says turkey is playing a dangerous game in libya that can no longer be tolerated what it has now from Laura Manning the discovery of move in from tripoli the military says the bodies belong to people kidnapped by forces of war literally for have to. And its not the 1st the uns top rights body ordered a Fact Finding Mission after the discovery of mass graves in dar huna previously a stronghold of have to and its forces. After a 14 month military campaign to take control of the capital after failed the internationally recognized government recently recaptured term along with other towns in western libya. And on monday the chief International Criminal Court Prosecutor said in the statement she would not hesitate to expand investigations and potential prosecutions to cover any new instances of crimes but there is a possibility of more violence to come libyas Government Forces in opposition to the west of so that the demanding have to expose retreat from the strategic city. On monday the u. S. Ambassador to tripoli and the head of Africa Command met with libyas Prime Minister fires as. They discussed efforts to stabilize the country but also how egypt has weighed in on the conflict. Egypts president of the fatah sisi has threatened military intervention if jan a fool says opponents to it so that. His government calls the threat a declaration of war and the u. N. Spokesman gave this warning. The last thing that libya needs right now is more fighting more. More military mobilization more transfer of weapons more presence of either foreign fighters or mercenaries and thats been more than the pointing in the fischel meeting with canadian president keiser 8 french president a man you mccollum who want to get takis intervention in the conflict did you took his own did you take him up but you dont and again i have already had the opportunity to make this very clear to president i now consider this turkey is playing a dangerous game in libya and is in breach of all the commitments it made at the berlin conference tucky has intervened in recent months providing support to Government Forces france has been accused of supporting have to a political something it continues to deny called has also spoken to us present all trumped by 3rd the leaders agreed on a need for ceasefire and libya and the resumption of negotiations bots with clear divisions between International Figures weighing in on the conflict there remains the question with these divisions lead to more scenes of destruction in a country torn apart by years of war. About money aljazeera. Still there as well syrias foreign minister is weighed in saying his country supports a cease fire and also backs the forces loyal to the world Khalifa Haftar leave me alone the high today libya is a victim of foreign interference the foremost of which is the turkish aggression that aspires to control its wealth in principle we support the ceasefire and we call for the resumption of the 5 plus 5 talks at the same time we support the Libyan National army led by Khalifa Haftar and we support all institutions in Eastern Libya we came on the unity and sovereignty of libyan territories also we stand side by side with our brothers in the arab republic of egypt to defend their National Security and the arab National Security so heres our team covering this story moment china in misrata on the ground were going to be with you shortly mallika i want to start though with mahmoud out the one hid in tripoli the talks the arab League Virtual emergency summit theyll talk they will try to come up with something but the lines is so clearly drawn in this battle what chance of them coming up with something. Will come along the. Internationally recognized government does not seem to be responding to that summit in fact officials with the government say that they will not consider any conclusions coming out of that summit given the fact that the government has rejected the call by egypt for that sum and raising also the pretext that egypt has not consulted the internationally recognized a government of National Board about the this summit all saw it seemed that the government does not trust the egyptian regime especially after the digicam president made the threats of military intervention in libya in case the Government Forces move on the city of sirte it the government has totally rejected the threats by did president considering it a declaration of war and violation of libyas sovereignty in fact the government has been always accusing the egyptian regime of supporting and backing the warlord Khalifa Haftar with weapons and fighters over the past few years now government officials here tell us that egypt has this is an attempt by egypt to save their ally have to. Have to his forces failed to take control of the capital tripoli in fact after the military Campaign Launched by have to fade and the defeat of those forces have been suffering in western libya ok thank you mahmoud in tripoli for us and as promised in the coastal city of misrata which is east of the capital him out again as we hear from mahmoudiya explains the various sides in the fact that this is so much more than just a a libya war its all these different sides how does that translate on the ground where you are. Well i mean the g. And a with turkish support has been able to take control or take back western libya other now position to the west of sirte and what were seeing is a lot of you know political maneuvering by various countries but whats important to note is that these forces that are in the west of sirte are primarily from the city of misrata and they know the area very well they know the territory the ins and outs of sirte they they went into search in 2011 and captured and killed Moammar Gadhafi and in 2016 when i sold to the control of these are the same forces that went into sirte and liberated it from isis of course they did that with american support u. S. Africa command carried out airstrikes at the time and we saw you we saw u. S. Delegation coming into libya yesterday meeting with the janae janay leadership so you know forces here on the ground say they will not negotiate with after they say that they will they will intercept. The d. N. A. And turkey are saying that they call for a cease fire but they insist that. We treat from central libyas the specifically and from now its important to note that while while the forces have before they did that with american support its a little bit different now i mean we we saw u. S. Africa command say that over a around 14 military jets have gone in Russian Military jets are based and these jets from what the g. N. A. T. Military leadership is telling us are are carrying out air strikes on janay positions so you know just like. We saw egyptian president the fact that his sisi telling his tone his forces to be prepared to intervene and so were seeing a lot of political maneuvering by various countries whether or not that has to do with the d. N. A. Not continuing on at the moment yet to be seen. Well it turns out one half of our Team Coverage in libya hes in misrata today thank you maam the war Khalifa Haftar has been trying to take control of the capital for more than a year now his attempts have been repelled by the u. N. Recognize government based in tripoli just a reminder that is led by Prime Minister fires. Besides the u. N. His administration has diplomatic support from italy and other western nations has been saying turkey has recently got involved in that conflict as well half his power base is the parliament in broke over in the east he is supported by saudi arabia the u. A. E. Russia and egypt france well denies providing military backing but is often cited as well cody you can see me with us now from rome libya analyst of the International Crisis group and actually former policy adviser. Who was once head of the u. N. Support mission in libya so youre in a good position to take us through some of this as we lay out all of those countries that are involved what chance that the arab league today could come up with something i mean theres just so many powers and so many interests involved there. Hi ira i dont think todays meeting at the arab league will lead to a new political proposal i mean the situation in libya is so entangled. And foreign powers interests are clearly bringing the rival parties to wards in new conflict so i think the expectation is for the arab league today to make some statement generic statement of support to egypt sions positions on egypts fear is that a turkish advance in central libya would be stretched to its National Security but we dont expect political progress pozole to come out and the reason for this is that what were seeing unfolding in libya today is g. N. A. T. Tripoli based government backed by territory that feels emboldened that even though it reverse the power balance on the ground in western libya it still cannot go into negotiations with that and for this reason they say they want to extend state control over the entirety. Of Eastern Libya in central libya and most importantly and this is something that is often goes unnoticed they want to reclaim control over the oil rich oil mess an area east of sirte what is also feeding this position is the u. S. The u. N. Seems to be he had to use this turkish back to advance to get the russians out of the russians that have been backing covertly through. But on the other side we have egypt that is. Complacent to the Russian Military present because essentially Russian Military have been aiding and have to has placed a siege on tripoli and now defending his positions and now in central it gets so where people think again that sort sorry to interrupt. As i listen to your answer listen to the number of times you mentioned by the turkey or egypt are they the 2 most important players and without any sort of overarching thing from the arab league or the u. N. Or anything else are those the 2 players who will at this point really decide what happens next. No i think behind both cokie and and egypt there is the us lets not relents not forget that you know the u. S. Is nato ally with terry key but also has very Strong Security cooperation with egypt so i think on the surface turkey and egypt are the 2 countries that now are most sort of belligerent and have made important strong statements about you know wanting to to to to defend each others interests but its the u. S. That here plays a key role because the u. S. Can and has the power if it wants to to caution turkey against that ban saying into central libya unfortunately what we know is that just a few weeks back a few days ago actually this status moved in d. C. Seem to have given the green light to turkey to go ahead and because of washingtons new found and the russians dance in libya so what she did will be really playing the balance again year im quoting as they knew from the International Crisis group in rome great to get your thoughts thank you and. Here is whats coming up for you on this news hour hong kongs leader tries to downplay concerns over the controversial new security law despite the weeks of protests against it so voters in malawi head to the polls to try once again to select a president will have a live report on the Election Rerun and. The tennis world number one under fire after organizing a series of tournament in the balkans. Group made up mainly of north korean defectors has managed to evade south Korean Police and fly propaganda balloons into the north the balloons carry leaflets and money and memory cards usually containing things like south korean dramas and music over the border government in seoul to try to stop them and its condemned the move activism like this has been one of the causes of the recent tension between the 2 methods and the north Korean Military is reportedly reinstalled loudspeakers along the border or is well on the south is warning it not to undermine efforts to keep peace on the peninsula we will use our military is monitoring the north koreans around the clock and maintaining military readiness please understand that we cannot tell you in detail about the situation but i have already said north korea will pay if it commits any acts that can thought the effort to improve their relations and maintain peace on the Korean Peninsula or on this one with our correspondent mcbride and so. As far as we can tell the d. M. Z. Itself remains quiet but i think it is true to say that given the recent very fast unraveling of relations across that border there has been an uptick in tensions we have the north apart from apparently reinstalling these loud speakers presumably once more to start blaring propaganda out across the barbed wire the north has said that it is going to reestablish guard posts just inside the d. M. Z. Which had been taken away as a way of deescalating tensions there have also announced that theyre going to start theyre going to resume military exercises and they are the d. M. Z. Said there is a rise in tension and of course its not helped by this balloon launches like this one the defectors themselves will claim this as a major success but it remains unclear just how many of these balloons have actually made it across the d. M. Z. Into north korea it is not a very exact science and in fact at least one of the balloons and some of its leaflets has been discovered in south korea and in fact to the southeast from where it was laurent so its not clear how many balloons have made it the whole intention of it though is to spread leaflets the said to be around 500000. 00 leaflets were sent up with these balloons also booklets and really with very incendiary propaganda attacking personally kim il sung he is the founder of north korea and a revered figure so it will certainly enrage the north koreans a should any of these leaflets and other propaganda material end up in north korean territory hong kongs chief executive is trying to reassure people about the National Security law which has been approved by legislators in beijing and in the territory fear that legislation will only erode its autonomy and freedoms caravans actually admitted she hasnt seen the full details of the law but still says rights will be protected. In the content published so far its stated clearly that the law must respect and protect human rights and for human rights and freedoms to be protected the law is in line with the International Covenant on civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on economic social and cultural rights its also stated clearly that these rights include press freedom and freedom of assembly. And while the Chinese Institute says there is an increasing risk of military conflict with the United States because of tensions in the South China Sea the National Institute for South China Sea study says the increased u. S. Naval presence in the pacific could threaten peace in the region it also says washington and beijing have been locked in a power struggle ever since donald trump came president over 3 years ago. The people of malawi are voting for their next president s but its a rerun of last years election which was and now is by the Constitutional Court due to ballot rigging the incumbent president tried to stop the rerun but the Supreme Court turned down his appeal Church Members and n. G. O. S have been volunteering as observers part of a task is watching this one from harare for his high what do you know about well how its going today under what i suspect would be quite tense circumstances. Well in the big cities the long way blantyre this very long lines and things are going with at least moodily into smaller towns and in some rural areas some polling stations opened late but eventually got started and again things they seem to be going smoothly a few pockets of violence here and there but nothing usually significant whats interesting is that because the coronavirus Pandemic International action observe it unable to come to serve these elections so you have a lot of Church Officials who are on the ground at the polling stations and the church is very respected in malawis people trust the church that respect the church and they hope the church remains neutral one thing of concern that people have been mentioning is that at the polling stations the polling agents the polling officials all wearing mostyn gloves but a lot of people in the long lines on practicing social distancing arent Wearing Masks and as and since the krona virus deming started a few months ago while i was accorded nearly 1000 cases of the virus so theres a concern that if people dont practice safety in these lines the virus could spread sentence and a horrible check in with you again later in the day as the version continues.

To the u. K. Now which is set to loosen its coronavirus lockdown restrictions even further as its economy gradually reopens Prime Minister bars johnson will give an update later on tuesday he is expected to announce the reopening of cinemas museums and galleries from july the 4th the countrys 2 major social distancing rule is also set to be reduced to one meter which would allow the hospitality sector to reopen lets check in with jonah hall in london now john as well as about where you are and whats expected for all those businesses i mentioned pubs and restaurants as well. Yeah its a big day for all of those businesses kemal im in among the builders of the building site in southeast london at a street food market called my part of metropolitan know where theyre frantically constructing what will become an outdoor beer garden in anticipation of that announcement by the Prime Minister Boris Johnson in about an hour hell stand up in parliament and make what is billed to be the most comprehensive announcement yet to do with the lifting of the lockdown as you say aimed particularly at reopening the Hospitality Industry from by the 4th pubs Bars Restaurants Hotels cinemas museums and much of this reopening based on a reduction of the social distancing rule from 2 meters as it is now up to one metre thats going to be a big part of the announcement that hes going to make allowing these businesses essentially to become economically viable under very strict new rules that will be in place to mitigate the chances of transmitting the virus mosques will have to be worn in certain circumstances perspex screens put up to separate drinkers and diners from staff there be one way systems in place carefully arranged seating you work the other order drinks as much as part as much as you used to from the bar but youll be doing your ordering from an app all sorts of things in this kind of new normal but as i said good news for an industry that just weeks ago Boris Johnson had been warned stood to lose some 3000000 jobs if this lockdown when dawn and of course the imperative now to avoid any more harm to the economy and get things going as quickly as possible and thats the key to getting things going and the timing because jonah politicians not to say where we follow the science is the science and the scientific opinion clear that this is actually the right thing to do now or is it more a case about well weve just got to get on with it. But i got an awful lot of the decisions that have been made have been based on a variety of opinions there hasnt been a lot of unanimous yet throughout this pandemic here or indeed in many countries yes there are critics who say this is all happening too fast to do its reckless and it was sturgeon scotlands 1st minister theyre holding back on these sort of measures for now says Boris Johnson is taking a big chance and risking a 2nd spike there is some woolly science around this 2 metre one meter issue it seems clear that there are still particles of the virus in the air between one meter and 2 meter off to someone else he says albeit far lower volumes in other countries france and germany have come in and are less than 2 meters in the end these are political decisions based on science but its the politicians who decide and the decisions they are making now are not as much as they were based on Public Health and more based on the economy i think thats the message that is coming out of downing street now get things going this is the imperative rates of infection coming n. H. S. Is better prepared to take the economy. About in sunny london today thank you jonah lockdown measures though are being reimposed in a region of northern germany after a spike in cases linked to a Meat Processing plants more than 1500 workers connected to that meat plant in the state of north rhinewestphalia have tested positive for cove 19 restaurants and Entertainment Venues will be shut and people can only mate in public in pairs this is the 1st region in germany to reimpose on lockdown after restrictions began easing in April Dominic Kane in berlin this is interesting dominic in the sense that it is this one cluster 1500 people die and it makes such a big difference to the wider community. The reimposition of lockdown in the region of good law is a blow to the state of north rhinewestphalia and the Prime Minister of that state and russia to keep conservative politicians in this country and what is actively happening is that this particular hour to hour which is owned by an Organization Called turn is well more than 1500. 00 people were testing positive for the virus but also family members and a few dozen people not connected with the plant who tested positive clearly the hope amongst the authorities is that they are going to be able to treat this as an isolated out break thats certainly something the government of that particular state hopes but it is worth making the point that its not just in that one state that there are isolated outbreaks happening here in berlin many hundreds of people and it has is in quarantine there are other parts of germany too where quarantine measurement measures are in place where the hope is to try to restrict the access of those people have tested positive so that they cant get out into the Wider Population that matters because the our rate the reproduction rate of the corona virus right now is close to 3 it was earlier over the last few days its 2. 00 its now dropped to 2. 00 now the people who compile those figures are robert cock institute well they say the stable measurement of that reproduction rate is lower but it is still higher than one and the point there is the government federally has always said that it will follow the science and the science at the moment says that every infected person is infecting more than one other person in this country doesnt it came with that update on the situation in germany thank you dominic. Something coronaviruses down as highlighted social inequalities that includes a serious Digital Divide in many countries access to the internet has never been more crucial for working and studying and keeping in touch with the scene human now reports a lack of technology is having a serious impact of millions of students in south america. This student has a decent computer a quiet place to study and of course high Speed Internet there indispensable especially now that schools and universities in chile have been closed for months and classes as well as assignments are all online. But for 47 percent of chileans these are luxuries well beyond their reach on the eve of a total lockdown in chiles capital we followed my little andersonville in to an internet cafe thats been their salvation. Theyre here they look up information for dylans homework. And print out the assignments theyll need to later email to the teacher. Back at home they just plain that even that will now be impossible because the internet cafe cant open under lockdown most of us are local i only have one mobile phone with a very limited intimate plan and thats not good enough to watch classes on line the connection always fails. To share the same phone. Who has 2 other small children was attending night school to finish their studies but with no money for internet or a computer what was difficult before is now hopeless she says as sick in the wake of fate i told my teacher that id better leave my space to someone else who has the means to keep up with the curriculum and exams online julie has 1st world Digital Technology but only if you can afford it 90 percent of the students at this university rely on government loans or scholarships and now they risk losing them if they cannot keep up with their courses online. Law student camilla regaled me explains why even though her campuses closed students have decided to go on strike if you move the theory we wanted to make the Digital Divide visible were asking that the state guarantee a constitutional right which is education and today education is impossible without access to internet. Congress has in fact just passed a bill that would oblige Internet Companies to provide free service to all students who receive government help which are the majority while the pandemic lasts but of a lot of through no fault of their own simply because theyre poor and this unveils the reality of the crisis were living through that has a Strong Social impact. Its a social thought line that with the pandemic is highlighting growing demands for Digital Rights to be considered a human right you see in human aljazeera send the apple further since there is a new report on the effects of coronavirus on education it comes from the un body unesco which says 40 percent of the worlds low and lower middle Income Countries have not supported disadvantaged students during the global shutdown of schools. So over 90 percent of the Global Student population is affected by coronavirus Relations School closures most of them in subsaharan africa. Of the world out of School Children were in this region even before the pandemic began in the middle east 17000000 young people are missing out of education blames it on governments failing to ensure that poor students have access to learning during lockdown while in the central and southern asia 95000000 children are not getting an education manifests antonini says the director Global Education monitoring report hes on skype from paris today thank you for your time and i know that line in the report where unesco talks about governments failing to ensure that poor students have access to learning what could they have done what should they have done. Well it is not a very easy challenge for them to some extent countries did not expect this onslaught so the 2028 Global Education monitoring report was in fact looking on the theme of inclusion in education which is a commitment that countries made in 2015 to achieve by 2030 countries not to know exactly what inclusion means they often associate it with one group but this crisis this Health Crisis showed very clearly that inclusion challenges and inequalities can affect only learner and the poorest countries didnt face themselves with an impossible time and your report was excellent it was describing the challenges a poor people in a high Income Countries like chile are facing whether in low and middle Income Countries access to the internet is really very limited in the least developed countries only 12 percent even access to radio and television and the very very complicated for those countries that experimented with those means in countries like the odyssey or ethiopia or kenya or even the poorest households do not have television only 7 percent of the poorest households in ethiopia have a radio therefore for hundreds of millions of students around the world. Continuation of education is an Impossible Task for any government so tell me then how could those of countries of done something if if you rightly point out Internet Access even t. V. And radio access that can be a major hindrance what would remote or Distance Learning of looks like in the countries were talking about. I think its fair to say that unlike your often many quite the optimistic and i think reports about the opportunities that this crisis gave to countries we should be a little bit more cautious because as i think i explained before you know the governments hands are tied and with all these restrictions on the possibility to interact and have contact most of these solutions are very poor substitute for the full for education the main challenge is what governments are going to be doing once schools start to reopen and this is where we need particular attention from the International Community what the education sorry minister was education always going to be something that fell by the wayside that got ignored when when an emergency like this comes along and the focus went into lockdowns into social distancing and into health care and testing and looking after people who were sick unfortunately education slipped down the rankings a bit well it shouldnt be and thats a major mistake because any society that has ignored education and has fallen behind is actually going to find this child inst it very soon education is 1st and foremost and rights for all and thats what our report is stressing but its also an investment if you ignore the education now if unions made it you would pay that back in terms of lower growth rates and lower grades for young people more frustrations and more social challenges down there with education cannot wait at any moment even at the worst of prices yeah big picture always to look at isnt a man a santana needs since from you know Global Education monitoring report thank you minister thank you. Theres a new report out of the United States painting a picture of widespread police abuse in the days following the death of unarmed black man george floyd Amnesty International focused on the violence seen in the demonstrations off the floyds to its Police Reform is urgently needed Patty Culhane has the full story. Some of the videos highlighted are now familiar chaos outside of the white house protesters cleared to make way for a president ial photo op police in minneapolis patrolling the neighborhood and firing projectiles of people sitting on their own front porches.

S. Its a tinderbox and People Including Police officers can on occasion older react i dont think is any question about that but you know most of the incidents that i have heard about. You know are are cheer gas or flash bang units or. Pepper spray used to disperse crowds and its very difficult to tell in some of these videos about you know what is going on with those crowds of those crowds throwing projectiles needs to be attacking them Amnesty International hopes this site and all of these videos will lead to serious Police Reform and while that is happening in some places the federal government seems unlikely to be able to agree on how to keep these seeds from playing out again and again.
