Well John Stratford is live for us in charles 1st of all lets talk about those gunshots that we were talking about and here on whats the latest there. Well things are considerably quiet say here now than they were a couple of hours ago indeed there were gunshots coming from the far right hand corner behind me in the square and there is video footage that has appeared that we cannot independently verify this seems to show a gunman indeed fahringer a gun now the incident happened during. A meeting of various different opposition supporters here in the square and it was pretty full at the time and it was a peaceful demonstration going on. Around about a 100 yards to my left is the Prime Ministers office and over the last couple of days there have been supporters of the new Prime Minister gathering around there and the Prime Minister being. Part of who supporters of his freed from jail. On monday he was 11 years jailed for taking that. He was voted to become the new Prime Minister in an emergency parliamentary session. A session that most of the opposition groups say was completely illegitimate because there werent sufficient a number number of m. P. s to participate in that vote however he says he is the legitimate Prime Minister and he says that there are what he describes as a council revolutionary forces trying to. Move him out of his position and it was his supporters that came into the crowd there were some scuffles there were some started and some bottles thrown and pretty much the majority of the other protesters with the other opposition parties have left now we are effectively an hour away from the state of emergency taking starting and according to that state of emergency everybody. Off the streets by then and we understand that the army has set up roadblocks to try and prevent.

Gave a speech and announced the coalition with another group of opposition parties he was highly critical of jeenbekov. Interestingly there was no comment from him with respect to the new Prime Minister but its another indication of just how factionalized if you like the opposition here. Fundamentally the thing that everybody wants except the man behind me here and many more of them around the Prime Ministers office thats mr chip power of supporters everybody else wants an emergency session of parliament to be held a new cabinet to be voted in and a new Prime Minister to be voted in and the concern is that we are now seeing. Really Serious Problems of a potential confrontation between mr supporters and other opposition groups here and were led to believe that that is the big concern of the president whos announced the state of emergency but lets not forget that the president himself lacks any legitimacy with all the opposition groups here it is a very chaotic scene here and. A great sense of uncertainty yet again. This evening. Charles stopford live for us from a very intensive bishkek in kurdistan charles thanks very much indeed. The United Nations World Food Program has won the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts to combat hunger and Food Insecurity around the globe its also being credited for its contribution to bettering conditions for peace in conflict zones the u. N. Agency says winning the prestigious award is a proud moment and nothing short of a feat then no we Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2022 the World Food Program. For its efforts to hunger. For its contribution to bettering conditions for peace in conflict affected areas and for acting as a driving force in the effort to prevent the use of hunger as a weapon of war and conflict the World Food Programs chief says hes deeply humbled to receive the Nobel Peace Prize David Beasley says the award is an incredible recognition of the u. N. Agencies work in more than 80 countries around the world i mean this is the 1st time in my life a bit speechless like this without a little talk about the most exciting point in time in your life is the Nobel Peace Prize it is because of the w. T. Family theyre out there in the most difficult complex places on in the world where this war conflict climate extremes it doesnt matter theyre out there and they deserve this award and wow wow wow wow thank you believe it when i spoke to jane howard the spokeswoman for the World Food Program she says the Nobel Peace Prize is a great boost to the groups efforts to combat hunger in the midst of a pandemic. Well its been a really difficult year for us and id really like to start by saying were just doing the homework the committee has on a world free program with with the peace prize because in the last few years what weve been saying is that sadly the fight to end hunger is being growing not to well the number of hungry people in the world has been rising not falling has it was before and not mainly to do with conflict they were also confronting the challenge of Climate Change and then if you can imagine on top of that this year with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic it had its really changed the way weve worked the estimates of the number of people who are suffering and going to bed hungry every night you know with think you could jump 80 that so its really really important i mean historic really for. The Ultra Program is not going to is ation that really has people out in the fields and the fact beyond that were very much at the sharp end even with the coronavirus several of my colleagues in yemen who have died just in the course of doing their own work and i think that. That that recognition that were having is absolutely. Going to be a huge huge help in our work that we feel that the hungry people of world are not being forgotten because lets face it this is all about those people who are going to bed without eating those people who are actually on the edge of famine because there are several countries now where we are really quite concerned that the progress weve made it in the last couple of years has been reversed. Well for more lets cross live to our diplomatic editor james bays at the United Nations james we heard earlier on the spokeswoman for the Nobel Organization saying the World Food Program was being rewarded for being a driving force in efforts to prevent the use of hunger as a weapon of war and conflict this is the side of this that often gets to some degree or at least has been in the past overlooked the diplomatic leverage of fighting hunger. Absolutely and of course there is as you heard the piece spokeswoman there say the added dimension of covert 19 this year i can tell you its very secretive the Nobel Committee but when people are looking at a possible favorites for this one idea i think people thinking they might go for the was the World Health Organization that would have been a very controversial choice because its there in the battle between the u. S. And china and the trumpet ministration is pulled out of it they have gone for another part of the u. N. Family that has really been challenged in this year its head mr beazley who you saw there hes currently visiting west africa he was in the king of france so where you saw that clip where he found out about the prize he was in. And hes now on his way to sudar and well theyve really had a difficult year this year he himself got coded 19 early in the year and its been a major logistical challenge to continue their work and increase their work as its been needed this year to get to those that are most need most insecure around the world infrastructure and thats just sticks challenge in many ways because they rely on ships they rely on planes and of course there arent as many of those that have been running in fact one observer said to me that if you look at the situation right now in africa because many of the commercial carriers arent working the world whose Health Program so the World Food Program is probably the main airline now the Biggest Airline operating in africa so all that work is being rewarded. James thank you very much indeed thats our diplomatic editor james bays at the United Nations. Well one of the countries the World Food Program has been warning about is zimbabwe where it says more than 8000000 people wont have enough food if there isnt urgent help by december its blaming recurring droughts and an economic crisis and the coronavirus pandemic has of course made things worse are the more tassel reports from national and west problems were impoverished communities are mostly affected. One head of cabbage some cooking oil a little bit of salt and about 3 cups of rice is all in mukherjee has left in her kitchen she says shell have to make it last as long as possible to feed her family of 8. Life is hard we dont have managed to eat there is nothing good about our situation we are barely surviving the uns World Food Program says more than 8000000 zimbabweans would not have enough food by december if theres not agent intervention thats roughly 60 percent of the population militarization of course something that affects mostly Young Children converting women in zimbabwe also it is a large number of people who are dealing with chronic illness of course their needs in a traditional needs are different from people who are otherwise healthy so its very important that we keep an eye close eye on those in the current circumstances basic goods and now beyond the reach of many people growing you know food is not an option for some years of drought the economic crisis rising unemployment soaring inflation and now coronavirus of hit families hard millions across the country are struggling in bad light cities and rural areas. Desperate families. Eating less she has to feed 10 grandchildren her own kids either died or left the country to look for work. I can only hope my neighbors take pity on us and give us food even if its their left overs we really dont know what we are going to do. Zimbabwes castro government gives food aid and a coke at 19 and now its all about 20. 00 a month to some vulnerable families local officials are worried. Sick sometimes. Its the situation. Back in the kitchen the children wait for frustrated they grab by the says she hopes to never have to say to them one day she has nothing to give them how to aljazeera. Province zimbabwe. Patrick holdens the founding director of the Sustainable Food trust thats an organization working internationally to accelerate the transition towards more Sustainable Food systems and hes joining us on skype from lumberton and wells thank you very much indeed for giving us your time sir do you feel that given the fact that hunger is regrettably a constant on the planet that it sometimes gets lost in amongst the sporadic crises that build up. Yes i do. Like the leaders of the World Food Program creative i think we should all who by the incredible efforts that they are making to alleviate hunger in areas the world which i hope to watch d for one and highly dangerous to get access to and so welcome are these the world preprogramming or its employees very much in the right thinking in parallel with that it should be remembered that very often the conflict which makes the hunger problems much worse is it so precipitation by the great all of the problem in systems due to Climate Change is that so is that knowledge though and that in turn is due to the way in which are probably created on Natural Capital and destroyed the ecosystems which used to provide the populations that stable good and i think that if we look to so many of the countries where it got g. O. P. s have 2 or 2 being syria comes to mind. All the recent interventions are probably connected in the long run with breakdown of sustainable crude systems and Climate Change so i think its important that as well as treating the symptoms and getting these this food aid to the people who really need it today we will certainly think about how we can change our probably system to make them both secured sustainable for the future when you describe it like that it seems fairly clear certainly to somebody whos inexperienced in it like me but why is this not being done before. I think theres been a presumption which is prevail if you take a little bit of countries but the technologies the personalizes the chemicals and the high yields which weve achieved in the developed world are what is needed. To replace the reverse of the selfsufficient systems which i myself witnessed and something which you just because feature to be replaced by the license and they genetically modified seeds of all this high input type of approach and i think that reality those systems are not resilient Climate Change they tend to destroy soil and now that the world is covered with farms both large and small its actually making the problems and so its more sustainable and regenerative which is probably the key challenge which faces humanity at the present oh and lets not forget of course that as we were talking about earlier in the program hunger can be used as a weapon which is what the spokeswoman from the Nobel Committee said and that really becomes an issue when youre talking specifically about these conflict areas and as that yes its absolutely right and so we need to be mindful about the real real terrible circumstances of these people and support and people are elite we aging there how good it is and recognize that it can often be used can be used as a weapon of war but at the same time we must be making sure we build more secure systems because they will have migration and we wont have these conflicts or at least not to the scale they exist at the moment Patrick Holden of Sustainable Food to trust we appreciate it sir thank you very much indeed thank you.
