what do you say to that i disagree with the un. proposition of the the un idea and i would like to think that that. would be overturned in the future. with more than eighty percent of filipinos catholic the church wheels enormous influence over national policy particularly when it comes to family planning. it's five needs since the government to reproductive health will guarantee six education in schools and access to free contraception but with fierce lobbying from the catholic church and other pro-life groups it still hasn't been implemented. and having no access to contraception can have tragic consequences. the black nazareth church in manila has come to be known as a place of despair many mothers leave aborted foetuses here in the hope their

child's soul will be saved this is dead and not only by the god but also by the law. in the philippines abortion is illegal in all circumstances even right . but right here in front of this church is an abortion circle where women are desperate to get rid of and are you know days. wearing a hidden camera we send one of our team in undercover to see if she can buy abortion treatments within a few minutes she finds a stool willing to help she tells the woman she's four months pregnant and with no questions asked she pays seventy five dollars for the remedies and if you go oh yeah we were he once again what moore's law didn't take her and she was sold to treatments one of herbal and root concoction. the lady said that you take that

when you're up to four months along but then when she found out that i was more months pregnant offering. even further if i wanted further operations throughout the capital. the pills are illegal also medication known to induce abortion anyone caught selling or using them can face up to six years in prison. in a back street of a poor urban community an abortionist says a prayer fearing prosecution she doesn't want to be identified then with it. but i light a candle for the fetus because it's already a human being only added up on and. i also ask for forgiveness from the law for the sin i committed again in the. early i'm scared that the police will come from an on

line up list but i must all my courage because i really meet the money for mammy the woman tells us she's performed more than a thousand abortions most of them on taina ages who are about five months pregnant she charges them up to eighty dollars depending on how advanced the pregnancy ease she says she uses a combination of the illegal also drug and deep message to push the features out. i tell them if you shout you did that and pleasure and i. don't complain. but if i see that there's a sudden gush of blood that means something has ruptured inside that's when i ask them to run to the hospital they're on their. i don't go with them so. i just stay here at the house. because we already had

a deal. every year it's estimated that more than half a million women resort to abortion in the philippines. about one hundred thousand almost half of them teenagers end up in hospital due to complications and many. so this is warrant for. here at dr jose for bella memorial hospital in manila one of the busiest maternity hospitals in the wold this award is dedicated to post-abortion patients most patients or rather than to them said they have had and. so there are tell tale signs that they have a board and if it's in fact the person that they come in here heavy bleeding without the blood pressure without the balls and you do not have any choice but to. treat them are else they will. obstetrician and

gynaecologist doctor soon see on sees teenage abortions as a serious health issue and believes the alarming numbers of teenagers getting pregnant needs to be addressed urgently i'll say crisis us a lot of teenagers are getting right. without finishing this school cycle of poverty that are broken. she says each year the hospital delivers thirteen thousand babies more than two thousand to teenagers. my goodness there are a lot of people most of them ending up in the scissoring ward. there are a lot of complications for teenage pregnancies like pre-term labor and initially they will undergo a society and section because they are. well the best that hypertension is

a problem hemorrhage a surprise so you had your baby just yesterday elise is just fifteen years old get up and. run on. that one again and happiness this. little boy is now in intensive care with respect tree problems a common issue for babies born to teenage mothers a leader says she got pregnant to her first boyfriend but that the twenty five year old left his soon after allegedly a man on the other side of the ward is eighteen year old julie know is this your first baby. second baby nap. and what about you personally what happened and pretty much. the feeling levels. she says after her first pregnancy she had

a contraceptive implant but had it removed when her twenty one year old patna wanted a baby i think really the. education is key for solving the problems here. like having a curriculum in. referendum in health and sexuality our stand is to let. teenagers have options regarding perception. but with no comprehensive sex education curriculum in schools the catholic church has a loud voice when it comes to what school to teenagers it's. joe why villa says group leave pua is unama one of the country's most powerful church organizations couples for christ foundation and works in partnership with

the education and social welfare departments. today there at this middle class catholic high school just outside manila. after assume the listen begins with self-worth and you about the person because i think that the person you are amazing. then calms the difference between the sexes every michael. i mean because that's just like me i mean or guys this is why it's a female because just like a female or a guy it's like that it's like only that you know what. he wants. and then it all goes back to one messy abstinence is the only way when.

many of them turning to social media and pornography. why do i wish biggest risk i am incapable of doing it. said to say that it's normal for us to know that a man is. not there so we don't know the freak when you learn about sex you know. when it comes to contraception the jury is still out well not sure contraception has a higher risk of. pregnancy yes but i don't really have any idea about that just i'm just having. what about you two girls like if dede to have sex what do you think you would use to protect yourself. because for me i would never use country it's our and it worked great bunch of us and the catholic priests and i do agree on contraception i think it should be

taught because not all of us not everyone of course can control ourselves there i know there are people who are weak. back in palauan this help. for those teenagers who some consider a week. i think we need immigration in the war room of the local roots of hill for a team of youth advocates prepared to battle the teenage pregnancy epidemic i think we need soon. to get contraceptives because i have a lot of experience that other young people don't want to understand. because their fight doesn't want to get. their weapons contraceptives and six education. taking to the streets they visit a popular teenage hangout in puerto princesa. i look it was six.

injured after a large bomb explodes in the somali capital mogadishu all of that plus. i'm adrian brown in beijing where a major summit is underway to discuss china's deepening economic engagement with africa but this is a relationship about more than just try to find out why here on. so a state of emergency has been declared in the libyan capital tripoli the situation there appears to be deteriorating as rival armed groups battle for control at least forty people have been killed in several days of fighting the u.n. secretary general is calling for an end to the violence the u.s. italy france and the u.k. are also warning that those who undermine stability will face consequences this report from mahmoud of the wahid now he is near a civilian home in tripoli that was hit by a rocket. this is part of the market that killed the two little boys

since the beginning of the clashes that broke out a week ago. many civilians were killed by ugandan rockets as the minister. says as the family members tell us here they're ok but it landed here and killed their talks arms and you can also see you know their. remains. exclusion here on this one. team that the market was the explosion was very strong. is hard to watch here was also destroyed by the explosions. it is a state of panic among civilians especially with which random rockets stray rockets landing in densely populated areas and it seems that the government of national

movement is not a strong enough to put in this conflict people here and so many people in tripoli. are blaming the government for not doing enough to stop this conflict the thoughts now it is a political analyst and former advisor to the negotiating team of the high council of states he says the fight over the resources of tripoli's un recognized government is what is fueling this violence. to understand what's happening here we have to go back to the libyan conflict after the fall of gadhafi it's been characterized by a fight among several grooves over who controls the resources of the state this is the same type of fight however is restricted to one geographic area which is the tripoli proper. there are. many armed groups inside tripoli they are simple italians so to speak and they are they are into

police for now since two thousand and fourteen and there are other groups that are coming from towns and areas outside of tripoli and they are fighting over who controls the government in tripoli or the resources of tripoli that's the basic premise that we have to work by forty casualties probably between a hundred and two hundred people injured but this is while the fighting is happening on the edges of tripoli which are big open areas now the situation will get more complicated and probably there will be more casualties the fight as the fighting approaches the center of the city and i think if nothing done within the next day or two i think we are probably

unfortunately facing more casualties to other news in the u.s. is planning to cancel three hundred million dollars in military aid to pakistan accusing a slam about of failing to take action against armed groups but pakistan denies giving taliban link find a safe haven u.s. secretary pompei was traveling to assam about to meet the newly elected prime minister imran come on with and stay here is come all hide out with an update from islamabad. moved by the. need to go down. the new government in an. already. the us alone although the. united states. have already rejected the drum. and. the american. who will be really doing it.

in afghanistan as a new general taking over command of nato forces general scott miller was sworn to his new role in a handover ceremony in kabul nato faces criticism over its security strategy in the country's recent attacks but the taliban have spiked security and stability comes as people and politicians get ready for parliamentary elections next month david said me is the former deputy u.s. assistant secretary of defense for afghanistan and pakistan pakistan the armed groups have been directly linked to the recent attacks on afghan soil. in january of this year the u.s. administration cut off a lot of military funding for pakistan and said it would be looking for concrete steps that pakistan would take to decrease the columbines freedom of movement in pakistan and particularly to rein in the activities of the haqqani network

unfortunately in the nine months since then there's been absolutely no sign that the pakistanis have done anything to rein in the pac that columbine on its soil and in fact the attack on gaza was headquartered out of pakistan conny network played a big role in mobilizing those forces and so i think you really see almost a direct response columbine with pakistani acquiescence in support attack in gaza city and the u.s. is upping the pressure on pakistan militarily through this age restriction in any kind of warfare especially insurgent warfare if you lead up to peace talks there you go on if go on an offensive so that's i would see that as jockeying for position to try and strengthen the taleban sort of role in any peace talks that you take place now we only have one. so far unannounced but very public actually in the way it's been weak round of talks in doha but there are press reports that i could

quote seriously the next few days the u.s. will announce a special envoy for afghanistan peace investors on the hollows of who has great experience in afghanistan and international diplomacy if that appointment take place takes place that will be a sign that the peace talks are really in something that we should very seriously. now al shabaab has claimed responsibility for a car bomb that struck a local government office in mogadishu witnesses say huge blast rocked the capital and smoke could be seen rising from the same osama bin records. the loud explosion was heard across the somali capital mogadishu soldiers stationed near the entrance of district headquarters tried to stop the suicide bomber. the attacker tried to enter the compound with an explosive laden car and when the security tried to stop it the car exploded killing three of the soldiers the deputy commissioner for security and politics was also injured in the attack children were among those

killed and injured as a nearby school collapsed you know i saw bodies scattered on the ground after the explosion before the ambulances and the paramedics reached there and the whole scene was very out of the roof was blown of a mosque and homes in the area were also damaged. as you can see the explosion caused a lot of destruction there are mosques and islamic schools next to the district compound. by the linked hardline group of shabaab says it was behind the attack a statement says the meeting in the district office was the target al shabaab has been carrying out attacks for more than a decade that includes a deadly truck attack last year which can more than five hundred people the un backed government which took charge in twenty twelve has not been able to control much territory beyond look at issue. for mali has devastated health infrastructure has struggled to do the casualties in the past. and as the war with began in the one nine hundred ninety s. goes on somali civilians continue to suffer. out of their. israel's

navy has been firing on boats attempting to breach the naval blockade of gaza the palestinian vessels are part of a flotilla that planned to sail off the gaza strip to join an international campaign against the siege carrying students activists and patients who can't get the urgent treatment they need due to the strict blockade imposed by israel human rights watch is calling for an end to all weapons sales to saudi arabia following the bombing of a school bus in yemen last month on saturday the saudi amorality coalition admitted the attack was unjustified fifty one people including forty children were killed this week the un will lead talks to try to end the conflict but the warring parties won't actually meet face to face with more from djibouti. human rights watch uses very strong language to condemn the saudi led coalition operation in northeast yemen at the beginning of august which killed forty children and eleven adults they

say it just adds to the gruesome record of killing civilians in yemen now you remember at the time of the show he said that this was a legitimate military operation they were targeting with the leaders who they believe were in the area at the time what human rights watch is saying is that they have spoken to survivors to eyewitnesses to people who were in the area and while they can't establish if they were the leaders were there the saudis must have known that by taking the action they did they were going to kill a large number of civilians because there was a school bus a market and a number of houses there so the saudis conducted their own investigation they say that the recently attack should have taken place is not because it would have killed a large number of civilians but because the leaders posed nor major threat to the saudi coalition at that point and human rights watch also see that people who are supplying weapons to either side in the conflict could be complicit in war crimes now we also know that both sides are due to sit down around the negotiating table on the sixth of september under the umbrella of the united nations the problem is

both sides don't want to be in the same room together so it's going to take some effort by the united nations to at least get a process underway that could lead to something that will deliver a peace in yemen and bring an end to what is an almost four year war and there have been protests over the worsening economic situation in yemen shops and government offices were forced to close after protesters burned tires and blocked major roads in the southern city of aden many yemenis are unable to get basic supplies as prices keep going up the yemeni realize lost more than half its value since the start of the war in twenty fifteen and the news ahead once everywhere then nowhere and now bringing a delicacy back to the waters off new york city.
