also nurses who are often at the forefront of violence inflicted on the health care sector. to take care of that, we have had some of the predators say that they spend hours in shifts, in their hospitals and if there —— some of the protesters say they spend hours in shifts, in their hospitals and they don't feel safe and they will not be able to perform their duties. they they said we have brought in a lot of rage and outrage across the country. notjust limiting to hospitals but also bringing out the aspect of making it safer for women overall outside on the streets and evening at their workplaces. the streets and evening at their workplaces— the streets and evening at their work-laces. ., ., , ., workplaces. you may shed the anger in the country- _ workplaces. you may shed the anger in the country. prime _ workplaces. you may shed the anger in the country. prime minister- in the country. prime minister narendra modi says he understands why the common masses are and we at this time. what is the response from the authorities to these cores from the authorities to these cores from the doctors and other protesters. 7

there are seven days, they have just been meetings and assurances but the doctors are saying that they will not compromise any more and they want concrete actions on the ground. while there are laws to protect women curb violence, gruesome violence like rape and murder, they are ineffective on the ground and we have seen this. the violence against women has only gone up in the last year if you go by the government statistics, the national crime bureau statistics which shows that the violence against women has gone up the violence against women has gone up by 4% in the last year. this showed that the laws are lacking somewhere and these pointers are now putting pressure on the government to bring in a central law, monthly medical fraternity that makes hospitals a safe zone, but also to bring even stricter laws to curb violence against women. while the health ministry and the government both actually safe level in west

bengal are talking, there is still out concrete measures in place that the protesters would be happy with. thank you. of course, that is a storm that we will continue to follow here on bbc news. please go to our website, we have more coverage on that strike in india. travellers visiting central african countries affected by mpox should consider getting vaccinated against the virus, according to new advice. the disease, formerly known as monkeypox, was declared a global emergency by the world health organization this week. the latest variant of the disease has already killed hundreds of people in the democratic republic of congo. and the world health organization is asking countries with mpox vaccine stockpiles to donate them to nations with ongoing outbreaks. our reporter leigh milner has more. in the democratic republic of congo, hospitals like this one are filling up with patients who have mpox.

originally known as monkeypox, the disease can be passed on by close physical contact with anyone with the infection. it causes flu—like symptoms and blisters, which usually clear up in 2 or 3 weeks, but in a small proportion of cases, it can prove fatal, especially in vulnerable children. we have been shown images on the phone and on tv of people who are suffering from the same illness. i am scared and i am so worried. so far, the mpox outbreak, centred in the democratic republic of congo, has led to more than 16,000 confirmed cases and more than 500 deaths this year. there's particular concern about a new type of the virus, known as clade 1b, which appears to be more virulent and infectious than the one which caused a public health emergency two years ago.

so it's spreading much more rapidly than we had seen others spread. so that's one issue. it does have quite a high case fatality rate at the moment. currently, there are no cases of the new clade ib variant of mpox confirmed in the uk, but experts say cases can spread if international action is not taken. health officials are urging countries with mpox vaccine stockpiles to donate them to countries with ongoing outbreaks. there is a critical shortage of testing, treatment and vaccines across the continent. these shortages are severely hampering the ability to contain the outbreak. we are calling for urgent international support to increase access to vaccine stocks and treatment options, and to scale up testing and alert investigation. there is a shortage of doses in the

most affected countries. our correspondent richard kagaway is in nairobi. we have had concerns that they do not have enough faxes to deal with the outbreak. how you did with that at the moment? if the outbreak. how you did with that at the moment?— at the moment? if you listen to the oress at the moment? if you listen to the press conference, _ at the moment? if you listen to the press conference, the _ at the moment? if you listen to the press conference, the for _ at the moment? if you listen to the press conference, the for the - press conference, the for the african centre for the disease control, after a company is about 10 million doses and so far, there is none across the continent. it is just that we have heard from the drugmaker that they are going to donate about 200,000 doses but then, this isjust a drop in the ocean. what african countries are doing is coordinating a response and we have seen heightened surveillance, especially at bullet points and also

carrying out public health information just to sensitise citizens about the epidemic and the risk in terms of exposure. in citizens about the epidemic and the risk in terms of exposure.— risk in terms of exposure. in terms of exoosure- _ risk in terms of exposure. in terms of exposure. just _ risk in terms of exposure. in terms of exposure. just bring _ risk in terms of exposure. in terms of exposure. just bring us - risk in terms of exposure. in terms of exposure. just bring us up - risk in terms of exposure. in terms of exposure. just bring us up to - of exposure. just bring us up to date in terms of the scale of the update, we know that it is affecting kenya where you are, but also other countries in the region. we have also seen a case in sweden as well. absolutely, the outbreak has been confirmed in a couple of countries. we are talking about ia countries as of the latest update. so, the disease has been endemic in the democratic republic of congo but has since spread to rwanda, burundi, uganda and also can your mac. it has also been found in the central african republic and also cases reported in west africa, in ivory coast and also in nigeria. just about two months ago we reported cases in south africa, but those were considered to be slightly

milder and werejust were considered to be slightly milder and were just local transmission. this is suggesting that the majority of people did not have a travel history so that is the situation that we have an on the continent at the moment. pond continent at the moment. and richard, when _ continent at the moment. and richard, when we _ continent at the moment. and richard, when we see outbreaks like this, public messaging is crucial. so what kind of messaging and conversations are happening there in the region to make sure that people are aware of this outbreak7 i the region to make sure that people are aware of this outbreak?- are aware of this outbreak? i think historically. _ are aware of this outbreak? i think historically, the _ are aware of this outbreak? i think historically, the outbreak - are aware of this outbreak? i think historically, the outbreak has - are aware of this outbreak? i think| historically, the outbreak has been confined to central africa so talking about the democratic republic of congo are some of its surrounding countries. but what we're seeing right now is because of movement across the region and because of this strain which is highly transmissible. it has been spreading to different parts of the continent. was governments have been doing is sensitising the public, telling them about prevention measures like washing their hands, just seven hygiene and also appointing people with suspected

cases, possibly six symptoms. the new strain has marred the strip symptoms that is why people may not know there have been affected and exposes a lot of people —— the new strain has milder symptoms which is why people may not know that they are effected and expressed a lot of people. are effected and expressed a lot of o-eole. ., ., are effected and expressed a lot of o-eole. ., ,, ,, president biden is sending his most senior diplomat to israel as part of us efforts to agree a ceasefire in gaza and the release of israeli the visit by the secretary of state, antony blinken, was postponed earlier this week because of concerns iran could mount a major attack on israel. mr blinken is due to meet the prime minister benjamin neta nyahu on monday. as fighting continues in gaza, two days of talks have taken place between israeli officials and mediators from the us, egypt and qatar. hamas has not yetjoined negotiations, accusing israel of changing its demands. meanwhile, lebanon's health authorities say at least ten people have been killed in an israeli

strike on a residential building in the southern city of nabatieh. israel said the target had been a hezbollah weapons depot. earlier, president biden urged regional players to refrain from any action that could undermine gaza ceasefire negotiations but said he was hopeful an agreement could soon be reached. our middle east correspondent, wyre davies joins me from jerusalem. how much can be read into anti—blinking's latest to visit? is it a sign of progress into the latest ceasefire talks. —— anthony blinking. latest ceasefire talks. -- anthony blinkini. ., �* ., , blinking. you're quite right. he was due to be a — blinking. you're quite right. he was due to be a week— blinking. you're quite right. he was due to be a week ago _ blinking. you're quite right. he was due to be a week ago and _ blinking. you're quite right. he was due to be a week ago and the - blinking. you're quite right. he was. due to be a week ago and the reason interpreted is that there was not much to talk about. there is this concern of a wider regional conflict so mr blinking did not come last week he is due to come this weekend

and he will visit many regional capitals and it is a positive turn that talks are proceeding. those two days of talks came out with a very positive communique saying that talks have been conducted in a positive environment. there was now this bridging framework to go forward for subsequent talks in cairo. now, there is a lot to overcome but at least, the talks are proceeding and that is important because the interpretation on the ground is as long as the talks continue, that threat of a wider regional conflict is somewhat diminished. i regional conflict is somewhat diminished.— regional conflict is somewhat diminished. , ., diminished. i 'ust took us through some of diminished. i just took us through some of those _ diminished. i just took us through some of those concerns _ diminished. i just took us through some of those concerns that - diminished. i just took us through some of those concerns that are l diminished. i just took us through i some of those concerns that are run could perhaps strike israel. are those concerns dying down7 could perhaps strike israel. are those concerns dying down? what is the mood like injerusalem where you are? the mood like in jerusalem where you are? .,, the mood like in jerusalem where you are? . ,., the mood like in jerusalem where you are? . , the mood like in jerusalem where you are? , , are? those concerns are still very much alive- _ are? those concerns are still very much alive. the _ are? those concerns are still very much alive. the israeli _ are? those concerns are still very much alive. the israeli military, l much alive. the israeli military, the international military, the americans have got ships off the

have destroyed a strategic bridge in the kursk region, cutting a supply route as they continue their incursion into russian territory. in his nightly address, ukraine's president zelensky said he's described the territory captured by ukrainian forces — since they launched their incursion 12 days ago as an exchange fund, implying they could be swapped for ukrainian regions occupied by moscow. from sumy, near the border with russia, here's our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse: ukraine is not just ukraine is notjust targeting russian groups but their supply lines too. msl... it was a counter offensive which suppress just about everyone. apart from the ukrainian paratroopers who had released this

footage complete with dramatic music and muscular arm up and when they first overwhelmed a russian border crossing. you soldiers manning it as well. after a blistering land grab in the classic region, ukraine 's grains are starting to slow. russia is directing resources like these artillery units to stem the time. nevertheless, ukraine is bringing in more troops to consolidate what it has taken. this is the main route from ukraine at�*s see me reading into russia itself. you have to imagine it as an artery and as advances start to slow, the question becomes what next? they have got the element of surprise and elite forces about keeping hold of it as russia turns its ahead and re—deploys thousands of troops, that will be very different. this my signed up to defend ukraine from the full—scale

it seems that what ukraine is trying to do alongside drawing russian troops is control its logistics. we saw in quite spectacular fashion, a major bridge crossing in the north of the kursk region. it goes over a region that flows into belarus and that had been used by russia's military to previously freed its invasion of ukraine. but ukrainian forces also control a white number of major highways from north to south, connecting to the region of russia further south used by russian forces as well. notjust russia further south used by russian forces as well. not just that russia further south used by russian forces as well. notjust that —— not just that, the town which ukraine has captured is on a hill allow ukrainian forces to control the battlefield in that respect and force russian forces to react and thatis force russian forces to react and that is costing them men and machinery. ukraine will be suffering losses as well but at the moment it

is them doing the dictating and while its advisers are slowing, what kyiv will point out is that you might be making a kilometre a day, but that is still more than the russian forces are making in a day in eastern ukraine. crucially, this russian forces are still moving forward. it is not going to be easy, and we need to look at recent history as to why. the same general who came up and this counter offensive is now the head ukraine armed forces. he was ukraine count of forces in 2022 which blindsided russia. he used misdirection might we have differences elsewhere and use the element of surprise. the moment when things turn south and went badly for ukraine is when the fighting slowed and became static and favoured russia and is greater size. so, we have seen again, haven't we, in the kursk region. they have moved in and expanding as quite a rate and take a lot of

territory very quickly but russia will gradually direct more and more resources to that advance. once have defensive positions in place, then that will be a test for ukraine and will be presented with a difficult decision as to when, when or if it should pull out because losing men that —— is something that ukraine cannot afford to do unlike russia. indonesia has been celebrating its independence day in the country's new capital, nusantara. the ceremony was attended by outgoing presidentjoko widodo and his successor prabowo subianto. nusantara, carved out ofjungle on borneo island, indonesia has been celebrating its independence day nusantara, carved out ofjungle on borneo island, is due to replace sinking and traffic—clogged jakarta as the country's political centre this year. but the 32—billion dollar megaproject is months, even years, behind schedule. we can cross live to jakarta and hanna samosir of the bbc�*s indonesia service.

hannah, thank you forjoining us on the programme. just talk us through why the government felt it was necessary to construct, build a new capital city?— capital city? yes, then you built a new capital— capital city? yes, then you built a new capital city — capital city? yes, then you built a new capital city as _ capital city? yes, then you built a new capital city as you _ capital city? yes, then you built a new capital city as you said - capital city? yes, then you built a| new capital city as you said before because jakarta is now of the fasted sinking city in the world. the ceremony itself today went smoothly with the flag raising and the militaryjets manoeuvring above the presidential palace. the scale of the ceremony itself was smaller than the ceremony itself was smaller than the previous ceremonies that had been held injakarta before. but this ceremony is seen as a statement from the president to silence his doubters because there were many doubts raised because of the

construction of the capital city being far from done. construction of the capital city being farfrom done. the presidential palace compound itself wedding ceremony was held was just completed last month —— michael where the ceremony itself was held was just completed last month. they have just come back from the new capital city to see the preparation of the ceremony and they said that these compound where the ceremony was held, but the access around the compound was far from done. was held, but the access around the compound was farfrom done. they talk to some of the locals who complained about the dust because of the massive development there. this is a oro'ect the massive development there. this is a project that _ the massive development there. this is a project that is behind schedule and over budget. how is it being viewed by indonesians7 are people willing to move to the new capital?

the locals have doubts about the future of the city, because the cost of the construction is very high and the president, the outgoing president, has travelled around the world to get investment for this new capital city but until now, there are no significant investment for these new capital city. so, there has been some doubts from the locals and from the indonesian until now. thank you very much. you are watching bbc news. stay with us, we

particular, is that where we stand is so dangerous. the killing of the political commander of hamas a couple of weeks ago, that has raised the price prospect of israel taking action. what is going on with the talks is to try to delay that and to get a ceasefire in place, which might make iran step back and feel that the threat it presented as achieved its object, which is to achieved its object, which is to achieve a ceasefire. that is the hope amongst the us, the uk, our foreign secretary was in israel yesterday with the french foreign minister. that sense of real urgency building. we minister. that sense of real urgency buildini. ~ ., minister. that sense of real urgency buildini. . . ., minister. that sense of real urgency buildini. s . ., ., minister. that sense of real urgency buildini. s . . ., ., building. we are hearing that at least 15 people _ building. we are hearing that at least 15 people have _ building. we are hearing that at least 15 people have been - building. we are hearing that at least 15 people have been killed building. we are hearing that at i least 15 people have been killed in israeli air strikes in central gaza on saturday, further highlighting that this conflict rages on despite the negotiations.—

stormed his village. the attack took place injit in the north of the occupied west bank and was condemned by the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. our middle east correspondent lucy williamson reports. no one knows who made rashid asidi a village hero. who shot the young it worker as he threw stones to keep armed jewish settlers at bay. but they know who to blame. translation: even the ambulance that came for him was _ blocked by the army. they waited until he died. the blame is more on the army, because they are not controlling the settlers. they protect them. his mother said she didn't know if it was a settler or a soldier who fired the fatal shot. rashid's brother mahdi took me to where he was killed. the village boundary fence, broken in several places. a neighbour said dozens

of settlers gathered here last night, and that he heard a hail of gunshots. he said he called the israeli army, who took two hours to arrive. the army said they deployed within minutes. residents say the settlers were masked, armed and organised into groups. some dressed all in black, some all in white. hassan was at home with his family when they came down this road. his surveillance camera caught the moment they confronted him, setting fire to his car and entering his family compound. translation: they were all armed with automatic weapons, _ light weapons, pepper spray. their attack was organised. they had a clear goal to kill or burn. here we are, unarmed. they have the government supporting them. we have nothing except ourselves. israel is under fierce international scrutiny over settler violence in the west bank.

israel's army says it has launched a thorough investigation into last night's attack. those gathered for rashid's funeral prayers had little faith injustice. the body of rashid asidi is leading a procession of anger through the village ofjit. people here trace this violence right back to the behaviour of israeli security forces and the policies of israeli politicians. a palestinian village surrounded by israeli settlements, distrustful of israeli forces, burying their anger along with their grief. to the us now, where vice president kamala harris has said she'll build an economy that offers opportunities to working americans. speaking in north carolina, the democratic presidential nominee

pledged to fix america's housing shortages and bring down grocery prices. she called for the first—ever federal ban on so—called "price gouging", saying she'd take on companies who continue to charge high prices as inflation falls. many of the big food companies are seeing their highest profits in two decades. and while many grocery chains pass along these savings, others still aren't. look, i know most businesses are creating jobs, contributing to our economy and playing by the rules. but some are not. and that's just not right. and we need to take action when that is the case. our north america correspondent nomia iqbal has more on kamala harris, and her republican rival donald trump's visions for the future of the economy. the vice president has been accused

of being all style and no substance. so this was her first major opportunity to show americans what a president harris would look like. how would she govern7 what would herfirst 100 days in the white house look like? and she unveiled all these proposals to show how she would try and lower the cost of living. and what struck me about her speech was that she had much more of an easy way of talking about policy. simple sentences, examples from her own life in a way that president biden was accused of not being able to do so. i mean, the vision that she had wasn't hugely radical from his, but she delivered her speech in about half an hour, which is shorter than president biden's speech. it's certainly shorter than the speeches donald trump has been giving recently on the economy. harris also accused donald trump of coming up with proposals that would only benefit rich people billionaires, the executives of big corporations. mr trump has tried to tie

kamala harris to the cost of living going up and to inflation as well. both of them are really going hard on the economy. the economy is the number one issue for voters. the polls suggest it's the one thing that they really care about going into this election. and they both have delivered speeches from north carolina, a key battleground state, where at the moment, polls suggest that ms harris and mr trump are statistically tied. but when it comes to the economy, polls also suggest that voters do trust donald trump a lot more on that. indonesia has been celebrating its independence day in the country's new capital, nusantara. the ceremony was attended by outgoing presidentjoko widodo and his successor prabowo subianto. nusantara, carved out of the jungle on borneo island, is due to replace sinking and traffic—clogged jakarta as the country's
