Is not true that we did not know. Even in the local community. That rebecca was facing family problems. I community. That rebecca was facing family problems. I want to sa to facing family problems. I want to say to the facing family problems. I want to say to the family facing family problems. I want to say to the family of facing family problems. I want| to say to the family of Rebecca Cheptegei, it is a really sad moment cheptegei, it is a really sad moment in uganda, as we went to Paris Moment in uganda, as we went to paris with moment in uganda, as we went to paris with rebecca, we really felt it paris with rebecca, we really felt it because it wasjust three felt it because it wasjust three weeks we were together and we three weeks we were together and we were one month together, enjoying and we were one month together, enjoying together, and it is really enjoying together, and it is really sad. Our senior Africa Correspondent Anne soy has more from bukwo. Rebecca cheptegei was a much loved member of this community, and you can see that from the turnout today. There were easily thousands of people here coming to pay their last respects to somebody they describe as humble, who was willing to help members of the community and who inspired many children to take up athletics. Earlier in the day, local councillors met here at Bukwo District and passed a motion to name a street and a Sports Venue after her. Earlier, we heard from paris, which is the city she ran her last marathon, that they are also planning to to name a Sports Venue after her. Her death, atjust 33, has shocked many members of this community. She is the third athlete to die as a result of Domestic Violence in kenya, where she lived in just three years, and therefore this death has cast a spotlight on an endemic issue in the country. And those conversations are going on here today. Fellow athletes are wearing black T Shirts with the inscription, say no to gender based violence. Sunita caminya is the uns ending violence against Women Policy Specialist in east and southern africa. Its a really, its a horrible day, and its a reminder that rebeccas story is all too common, and we have a public emergency of violence against women and girls that is not being adequately addressed. Um, we really, we need to learn that Rebeccas Experience could have been prevented. And without more urgent and collective action, we will continue to fail many women and girlsjust like rebecca. You talked there about urgent collective action. What does that mean . What kind of action . Well, what we know is that we need. Violence against women and girls is preventable, and everyone needs to be involved through comprehensive approaches that engage all members of society. We know that by increasing long Term Funding to womens and support to womens rights organisations, we can play a more critical role because they are developing the solutions to end, to prevent and respond to violence against women, by promoting the Leadership And Participation of women and girls in Decision Making and Policy Spaces that can also help ensure that the policies and programmes meet the realities of their lives, and strengthening Protection Mechanisms to prevent and eliminate violence before it begins. Addressing different forms of discrimination, including against womens womens Human Rights defenders, and investing in adequate research and data so that we can better understand what is Driving Femicide in certain contexts and how to better prevent it, and ultimately really stepping up our investments in prevention, because we know that there are various strategies have been proven effective to prevent violence and reach that critical mass, to break the cycle of violence against women and girls. And weve been Hearing Voices raising their concerns, specifically in east africa, in this region. Is there a particular issue here . We know that the intentional killing of women or femicides and all forms of violence against women happen all over the world. That is not unique to east africa. But we do know that there are factors that can either protect women and girls from violence or increase their risk. So for example, recognising violence against women as a violation of Human Rights grounded in discrimination and Gender Inequality rather than an individual isolated case is an important starting point. When we know when we can support relationships being equitable, not based on power over our control over one another, its also less likely that violence will take place. And when womens socio economic empowerment is celebrated and recognised as a benefit to everyone, regardless of their gender identity, women in public positions or successful will not be targeted for going against stereotypes, for example. And, of course, we know that when laws and policies are enforced, violence against women will be recognised as a crime and perpetrators of violence will be held to account for their actions. So these are some of the factors that can contribute to making the region and and the world safer for women and girls. And you listed there some of the things that need to change and the differences, i appreciate that. What kind of time frames are we talking about, though, to try and implement that . Well, we know that violence against women is a complex issue, but that doesnt mean that Action Cant be taken. So there are immediate actions that can be taken, right . Like upholding the laws. Ensuring that the laws that are in place are enforced, theyre resourced annually in state budgets, that the institutions who are responsible for protecting rights to live free of violence are actually staffed adequately and have mechanisms to monitor progress against their commitments, and ensuring that there is also support for wider society to be looking at this issue from a lens of its something that can be prevented, violence is not normal, its notjustified, and everyone has a role to play in taking action. And these investments also need to be made over time in our education systems, in our health systems. So really working to transform society that is grounded currently in Gender Inequality to one that is based on tolerance, non Violence And Equality for all. A former senior us official says president zelensky� s frustration over not being able to use long Range Missiles inside russia isjustified. Kurt volker, previously the special representative for ukraine negotiations, was speaking to the bbc after Sir Keir Starmer and President Biden wrapped up their talks in washington with no public announcement of any change in policy on ukraine. Aruna iyengar has this report. The latest attacks in ukraines sumy region. Volodymyr zelensky has accused the west of emboldening Vladimir Putin with its hesitation over long Range Missiles. President biden and Sir Keir Starmer had met to decide whether to allow kyiv to use Storm Shadow missiles against targets inside russia. I dont think much about Vladimir Putin. Despite this put down there is still a cautious approach and no official change in policy. This wasnt a meeting about a particular capability, that wasnt why we got our heads down today. It was to allow ourselves the space, which we took, and the time, which we took, to have a strategic discussion. These long Range Missiles are at the heart of the talks. The uk already supplies Storm Shadows to ukraine, but only for use within ukraine. The coming weeks could see that the change with them being allowed to be fired into russia at military installations. Some military observers say Ukraine Isjustified in wanting to stop the attacks at source. Now, what may happen here is some of us may get loosened up behind the scenes, you may see the us not object to the uk allowing the Storm Shadows to go, you may see some shift in the us Position Butjust not announced as some sort of new policy. But ukrainian frustration is palpable and i think it is justified. And former Uk Defence secretary Ben Wallace said this. All of that delay, all of that tug of war, favours russia. It allows putin to insert in the delay threats and new red lines and efforts to divide and rule in the international community. The russian president , Vladimir Putin, chaired a meeting of the Security Council yesterday. Russia says if restrictions are lifted, that would be an attack by nato and russia. Meanwhile, the former president of russia, dmitry medvedev, has upped the rhetoric and he said, what arrogant Anglo Saxon Dimwits failed to admit though is you can only test Someones Patience for so long. There is a delicate balance here for the west, weighing up the effects of action against the effects of inaction. Added to the mix is worrying evidence that Iran And North korea are supplying weapons to russia. President zelensky of ukraine is begging for help from the west. Translation putin and his accomplices must feel all the problems that war brings, the war must become significantly harderfor russia. This is the reality of war in ukraine. It is a country desperate for ongoing help. Its allies are working out what is the best way to do it. Aruna iyengar, bbc news. Joachim bitterlich is a former german ambassador to nato. I asked him if he supported ukraines call to be able to use long Range Missiles inside russia. If you look at the situation and if i make a certain interpretation of the information over the last days, its clear for me theres a certain mistrust of the americans, the british and the germans towards the ukraine. As far as their use, its clear they use these Missile Missiles in order to attack directly airfields, Command Centres which have been involved in the attack of ukrainian territory. Its totally normal In My Eyes that they may use these weapons. What the mistrust comes from elsewhere is this mistrust of certain, lets say, european politicians, that the ukrainians could use these weapons against cities like moscow or other bigger russian cities. I think there is, lets say, this misunderstanding or between allies towards. And what and what do you think of that misunderstanding . Do you think its justified or not . Well, i think its justified to be able to defend yourself against attacks which are taken from a foreign territory. For me, its normal. So are you frustrated, then, in the length of time its taken to give permission for ukraine to use these weapons this way . Well, the problem, i come back to it there is a certain mistrust towards the ukrainians. For me, its clear. Its a mistrust. On the other hand, its a certain mistrust towards the russians. How the russians will interpret this, uh, this agreement or this tacit agreement, uh, because the russians invent even fake news about this. When you take putins last conference two days ago, he was speaking about the fact that nato is involved directly because ukrainians are not able to use these weapons. They are able to use these weapons. They have been trained. Its well done. But the mistrust of the western world, In My Eyes, is that the ukrainians do not use only against, lets say, airfields or Command Centres from where attacks are taken. They fear that the ukrainians could use them against, lets say, russian cities, as the russians do it in ukraine. There is this mistrust, this difference. What would you like to see happen next . Well, you have always a dream. You have always this dream that this war could end by a ceasefire. This is always a dream. And when i read the berlin newspapers this morning, or lets say, leftist special lady Sahra Wagenknecht is defending the entry into direct negotiations between russia and ukraine. She is asking for it. And this refers to, lets say, one third of the german population. Now you have, even in poland, people who think in this sense that is from, In My Eyes, a certain dream. On the other hand, its right to maintain a certain Speaking Line towards the russians to see. Perhaps they could, lets say at the end, agree, lets say, to a ceasefire are and leave ukrainian territory cuba. To a ceasefire are and leave ukrainian territory. But i think we were, lets say ten years ago or 15 years ago in a much more comfortable situation. And i regret the west has not been, lets say, tough enough towards the russians to make clear where are the limits and where could be, lets say, at least a provisional peace for next year. Ive written this in 2019 after talks in moscow, and its regrettable we only ambassador who was listening to me was the british one. Neither the french nor the german, not interested at all in these, lets say, in the danger ive seen since, lets say, 2014. Latest, latest. We missed the story about the east, about the Donbas Agreement in 2015 16. Merkel and steinmeier, if you want. We missed this. I regret we have not taken seriously enough. But Vladimir Putin is not accepting till today in reality that the ukraine is an independent state. Russia and ukraine have exchanged Prisoners Of War a move mediated by the united arab emirates. The russian Defence Ministry said its freed servicemen were currently in belarus and receiving help. Uae state media said 103 prisoners from each side were handed over and that it was abu dhabis eighth such mediation. On friday, ukraine said it had received a further 49 captives from russia; they included former defenders of the now ruined city of mariupol. Now its time for a look at todays sport. Hello from the Bbc Sport centre. After two defeats in their first three Premier LeagueGames Manchester united have returned to winning ways following the international break with a much needed win at southampton. Relief for manager erik ten hag. His side could have gone behind but Cameron Archer saw his penalty saved by goalkeeper andre onana. Summer signing matthijs de ligt then put united in front, his first goal for The Club before Marcus Rashford added a second before half time. Alejandro garnacho added a third in stoppage time, all to the delight of the united boss who admits his side rode their luck at the start. The start was not easy. Also, some credit to southampton, very energetic, but i think the penalty was the turnaround in the game and theyre not so far afterwards, we scored a goal. I think that was very important from that moment on. We saw Ulim Ses from that moment on. We saw glimpses of from that moment on. We saw glimpses of what from that moment on.
