Of Doctors Without Borders in north kivu to just talk about this concerns more thank you for joining us perhaps you can just tell me i know im a set is not a direct target but what measures have you put in place to make sure that your work has a face. For bernie weve withdrawn. None of central stuff. We have put the rest of the team in. So far were able to get to the to the to the the Treatment Center on an almost daily basis to continue and and watch are your concerns if this situation persists the concerns are for the risk illusion of violence that will impact on our work directly or indirectly. We are seeing worrying signs of exclusions. Violence and calls for more militant action within benny town which is of concern to us. So were keeping a very very close eye on the situation and what there is what will it mean for this. Response if organizations such as us that actually scaling back on a presence like weve seen the want Health Organization doing for the moment we have been organizations working on the bullet had been test atlee optimistic seeing a decrease in the number of cases. Of fear at the moment is that there might be a resurgence that patients will not be able to get to Treatment Centers because of the violence that access will be limited and that then these people will have suspected or confirmed cases will have for the context and we much of a rebound effect or the peak of the of the a bullet outbreak even before this protest i mean Health Workers in beni are watching in incredibly. Volatile areas where you know rebels are coming in and killing people Health Workers of being attacked just give us context on how difficult to tease dealing with this very dangerous disease in an area that is so. When it comes to kate its true highly volatile highly unpredictable we know that since the 30th of october more than 80 people have been killed by. The text by the a. D. F. Group the Democratic Front and now were seeing. Now were seeing the possibility of more attacks by this group being launched in the near future this is also worrying to us ok thank you very much that was.

Is in 2nd place with 30 percent a run of poll to decide the winner will take place on december the 29th one correspondent whos following events from the capital and thats the nicholas and nicholas this was always going to be a hard fought election and perhaps these initial results quite surprising. They are indeed i mean if they were here outside the main opposition contender. Weve made it to the 2nd round the political outsider. General of the people i just spoke to him just moments ago i think it took him by surprise now he has to convince the voters and the candidates to join him a coalition to try to win the election the 2nd round they will take on this number 29 in our conversation with. The. Party. Candidate. For profit from the drug trade and of course. This country on the edge of west africa is considered a traffic trafficking area for latin American Drug to funnel cocaine to europe and thats a big. How to. Rebuild it has not been functioning for the past 5 years it seems quite a jovial mood at the moment behind you nick but the hard campaigning as you say continues with only what less than 4 weeks to go. Thats right and theres something to remember weve been following the campaign over the past week or so and often described this country as the norm. But what weve seen over the past week people coming out. To listen to the different people really concerned and showing interest in this political election because that is really the idea that you. Are that. Have not been paid. Or you have no. Right now this. Kind of candidate. That they get their vote so thats why theres so much celebration at the. 2 outside of the main opposition candidate. And the party will go on i think. They will be the campaign that will. Try to change the direction of this country so indeed we will see what happens it will leave you to monitor the celebrations for the moment in this i think heading in the region and in the northwest part of kenya thousands of people are seeking refuge in makeshift comes up to widespread flooding and landslides at least 65 people have done it in the past 3 days with up to 120000 more effective relief teams have been slow to reach the area of west some roads and bridges remain cut off.

The hills killed most of the people and destroyed their buildings their homes in the house that was just right you know well i am right now 11 people died and all for the 11 who died just 3 the voters have been recalled but government the rescue workers are yet to reach here because of the swept away parts of the old on 3 just leading to these parts of the west called county and the people here really not only striken but also say they would not get closure until they get the bodies of their loved ones. Lets head to south asia now where you bungle the she called her sentence 7 people to death in connection with one of the worst attacks in the countrys history 22 people mostly foreigners died in the scene of the holy autism cafe in dhaka in 26 and has been acquitted. Has the latest from outside the court.

The standoff between police and prodemocracy protesters Koln University looks truth ended the Polytechnic University says search teams woman when say the she appears to be the last these students barricaded themselves inside the campus almost 2 weeks ago they used it as a base to shut down the major roadway in the harbor which has since we opened they also found the license of fire to buildings. Well still ahead on the aljazeera news are easing restrictions the Saudi Led Coalition in yemen announces it will allow some flights to resume out of southern port. And the race to find survivors albanian rescue teams dig through rubble to find anyone alive after a powerful earthquake. But just days before the start of the Southeast Asian games preparation delays leave some foreign teams sleeping on the floor all but story coming up with joe in sports. Polls opened in the big in whats expected to be the toughest challenge yet for the Ruling Party President target again gobble was among the 1st to cast his ballot his party won the last election with 87 percent of the vote but his term was plagued by recession and Corruption Scandal and one of namibias worst droughts voters are choosing a new president and a parliament how do we start to has more from johannesburg in the neighboring south africa. This widely expected swapo is going to win this election the question of course is by how much they no longer as popular as they used to be the poor are frustrated this is a very rich country lots of mineral wealth and good luck because a lot of money from tourism more than or nearly a 1000000 tourists visit the country every year where the poor say this money isnt trickling down to them and employment especially youth unemployment the gap between the rich and the poor is widening and people blame government mismanagement for this they say that the Civil Service is totally bloated they accuse the president of appointing too many government Officials Say all the money is going there and then of course the issue of corruption the latest scandal is in the fishing industry with some officials have been accused of taking bribes and in exchange theyve given these lucrative contracts or fishing quotas to International Fishing companies and so far to government ministers have resigned so Opposition Party is going to try and capitalize on all this anger and discontent and corruption to try and eat the ruling party of course its not going to be easy as far has been in power 10990 when it gained independence from south africa and then of course they got 2 thirds majority in Parliament One reason why it may not be easy to unseat them is because like some other liberation movements in Southern Africa the black majority still see them as the only viable option in terms of representing black interests so that could be a major challenge for opposition parties but theyre going to try to see if they use the issue of corruption and inequality to try and make some gains in this election. To yemen now where the Saudi Led Coalition isnt ours that its easing restrictions to allow some airport to reopen the Coalition Says it will mean patients in need of medical care can be flown out from the rebel held area flights will be operated in cooperation with the world Health Organization the airport has been closed to commercial flights since 2016 young egland is the secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council which has been working in the yemen for several years now joins me now on skype via oslo you must be very relieved to hear this news own that this operation is about to happen we are this is a rare glimmer of hope in a in a desperate war situation. For years for airport to be reopened for these medical flights but also for other commercial once a 1000000000. This is is a place where which always had to send patients out of the country because they couldnt care for the worst and most complicated medical treatments then the airport was closed at the same time as the medical systems in yemen lapsed so for years now weve seen thousands die in unnecessary and from those who opens over but for many patients there is now hope that they can get abroad and get treatment resettled your your organization is one of many humanitarian organizations helping those in yemen how will you or can you all hope to coordinate your efforts with the world Health Organization how does that relationship work. Well its really the world Health Organization but also unicef. And several. N. G. O. S who are in lead on the medical side and. Will now be coordinating this with the government of yemen and i hope that this medical air bridge will start you know imminently but of course the whole medical system needs to be rebuilt half of hospitals and clinics and so on are inoperable at the moment and of course while theyre out of action people still needed to get medical treatment from your knowledge and experience how difficult was it to get patients out of the country and how did that actually happened. Many people then just died waiting for an opportunity to fly out from the. Airport. Try to go you know 15 hours by road through roadblocks and crossing lines to the southern port of aden to get out would not have the resources to do that and then they just silently died from cancer or Heart Disease or Liver Disease kidney problems that could have been treated. Hopefully this can be a turning point really it is a positive move by this. Coalition its also possible that were hearing about possible. Changes there was the really. Making peace between the supporters. In the south there are talks between the who the. Government and the Saudi Led Coalition there is an opportunity to end this senseless war i mean that is the reality and perhaps that might be the commonsense view that those of us outside of yemen may see and may look at but at the end of the day the reality is that this is a very sensitive situation and negotiations and talks can easily break down this window of opportunity that beginning from the airport through the world Health Organization is that very much a window of opportunity how long would you like to see it open full. What this medical you know air bridge out should now be permanently there it was wrong hope youre wrong to close it in the 1st place civilians should not die because men fight politically and militarily there. There are there are many opportunities now to see that we can start. Peace efforts to work what we are still saying is that this remains the largest humanitarian crisis on earth 10000000 people are on the brink of starvation 2019 was not a good year as many thought it would be after the Stockholm Agreement in in a year from now december 280350000 people more than back have been displaced because of violence this year alone. You know and we will leave it there we know youve been a passionate supporter of the civilians in yemen im sure they will get some rest but certainly from this news thats coming out of the country for the moment sir thanks for joining us from all slow.
