and i knew something was wrong but they kept on working in the mine thinking it wasn't serious when it became serious i can do was brutal test to it done and confirmed the date caller. more than two hundred cases have been reported so far in the mud down area doctors and nurses are encouraging people to get treatment early the minute. he sinned with before meeting in the city which is turtle so. if the big get. the. treatment. it's almost a hundred. but the shortage of essential drugs and equipment in many public health centers makes it more difficult to deal with the disease some junior doctors are also on strike over pay and work conditions and nurses are threatening to do the same more than fifty people died from cholera in september that was in the capital

harare this latest outbreak isn't contained our fears this disease could spread opposition leaders say zimbabwe's health sector has suffered and the years of corruption and mismanagement but government officials deny the allegations insisting sanctions imposed by the west and the economic crisis in the country are to blame. some of these miners planned to go back to work is the only job they can find they know there's a risk of reinfection but say they and their families need the money. dahlan zimbabwe thousands of people have rallied in malaysia in support of the government's decision not to sign a un convention to eliminate racial discrimination the protests were largely made up of malays the country's largest ethnic group who are worried the convention will strip away the economic and religious privileges lawrence louis has more from kuala lumpur. this rally was initially organized as a protest march to demonstrate against the government's decision to ratify

a un convention to eliminate racial discrimination and the reason there's a backlash against this here in malaysia is because the majority race the malays who make up more than sixty percent of the population are concerned about this issue a low tide of that special privileges and threaten the position of islam as the main religion in this country the privileges granted to the malays and other indigenous groups give them advantages in a range of things from business to education to. affirmative action all of these were put in place decades ago because the malays even though they were the main group considered economically disadvantaged compactor the chinese and indians the other two main races in this country and the government mindful of the backlash reversed its pledge to ratify the convention but this rally is still going ahead people here tell us they want to send a message to the government that they will be checked anything that threatens the malays special privileges

a point. that we've gone through and all that we now enjoy will be a factor that is what we don't want the kind of this to go about there's already an agreement made long ago between the military and the chinese and it was in trying to into the constitution there's no need to change anything we already have human rights or equal rights in malaysia but this is also about politics that's rallies organized by the two largest opposition groups in the country one is an islamist group the other is i'm no martin but had led to malaysia since independence for more than sixty years until its defeat in the general election in may well and it is a it's also intended as a reminder to show the government and the supporters that they are still relevant. activists are planning to march through poland's cut of the city where a two week climate summit is underway calling for more action from governments to

tackle global warming which is caused largely by an increase of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere but in south korea tackling the already complex issue of pollution is made even harder by the fact that much of it comes from somewhere else eugene young explains. wearing masks to filter out the dust has become the norm for people in south korea especially during the winter of the world health organization says the daily average standard for all to us that can be loud and damaging is twenty five micrograms per cubic meter and here in south korea in november we've seen that number hit as high as five times or more of that daily average standard. the city does enjoy the occasional blue skies but just days after china turned on its public heating systems in november that blanket of air drifted across the yellow sea to the korean peninsula and the air pollution numbers in seoul were in the red again. when the air quality gets worse an advisory

warning is in forced forcing businesses and construction sites that emit air pollutants to stop and also battling big age diesel vehicles from entering the city . a hundred of these special vehicles are also dispatched to suck up dust off the streets over the past twelve months they removed sixteen point five tons of it equivalent to pollutants generated by over thirty six thousand diesel sealed cars. but despite such efforts to calm domestic root causes pollution still blankets the skies and enjoying to report with not shows that one third of souls find dust travels from china even during seasons with relatively low pollution pushing the south korean government to seek for closer cooperation with china to curb air pollution in the country. to reinforce cooperation with foreign cities we've been hosting an international forum to improve quality in northeast asia in particular

wealth amassed from his kingdom's plunder of congo its exhibits portrayed africans as savage and primitive hundreds of congolese people were put on display in a human zoo but there was no mention of the fact that millions of people were enslaved or killed by their oppresses so until twenty years ago belgium didn't have any critical reflector ryssdal on your past and nobody really questioned about how did google is really perceive it and if you talk to the release of the period i'm in they'll talk about your profession about the way they were treated and so when go to this visit this was a of their star reflecting well maybe the colonial system wasn't all that good at all king leopold presented belgium's colonise ation of congo as a humanitarian mission but that was far from the brutal reality congolese artist mam panny hopes his work will force people to reflect on history or the miles around over priscilla posit it is thinking together about the past the present and

to celebrate in this symmetry perhaps i would visit in the future if we start returning the works state museums across europe have come under increasing pressure from campaign is to return objects taken from africa they say it would address some past injustices but also force people in former colonial powers like belgium to know and confront a history that for too long has been ignored natasha butler al-jazeera brussels belgium. square a recap of top stories this hour french riot police have fired tear gas and yellow vests protest as in the center of paris it's the fourth weekend of demonstrations against high fuel and living costs which have shaken president manual macros farsi more than six hundred people have already been arrested and tens of thousands of others are rallying across the country. but it's met has more from paris. the areas

could u.s. president on one trump trick a return to the dog days of america's war on terror and why isn't ministration. to suppress information about the cia's post nine hundred eleven rendition program in the second of two special investigations we sent reporter sara springer to find out .

comebacks ray at the u.s. naval base and hunnam a bay. now deserted budge one tory a symbol of america's global war on terror. prison is began arriving at guantanamo in early two thousand and two very soon other detention camps was set up on the base. an estimated seven hundred and eighty people have been incarcerated here. former u.s.

president barack obama wanted to close it down walked off well because no later than one year from now. current president donald trump has different ideas. president obama talking about get right guantanamo bay which by the way which by the way we are keeping open which we are keeping. and we're going to load it up with some bad dude split may want to load it up. some fear trumps presidency may trigger a return to the dog chapter of america's history which funny the devastating atrocities of nine eleven. in the off to mall of the attacks the us numerous the biggest global manhunt in its history. shortly after this man mark fallon

a senior naval intelligence agent arrived in the new and prison facility in one ton a move bay he had been appointed deputy director of a special task force charged with tracking down al qaeda terrorists. but the more he saw as contaminated the more concerned he grew in. what they were trying to do was create what's called learned helplessness a fieri based on experiments done on dogs sleep deprivation extreme isolation a practice called walling. facial slaps slamming your you against the wall it's a debilitating practice it wears you down. i didn't know what it was daylight outside i didn't know the times there was no calendar and being on the subject on almost a year and a half and i want to access to other human beings into meaningful communication

with my family a son being born i didn't i didn't even know what his name was so there's all these sorts of things happening and so once i exploded myself literally and punched and kicked and cried and screamed and one of those sorts of things. in new vendor two thousand and two computer come onto arrived at guantanamo bay here. his name was major general geoffrey miller if you speak to many of the other prisoners who were held at the time in the in camp x.-ray and elsewhere they'll tell you that he was his the regime caught during his period was the harshest they faced you know he brutalizing these prisoners are given we have this program called the frequent flyer program we wake them up the middle night just transfer around it sleep deprivation it's isolation they were doing mock executions they wanted to bring people up in helicopters and make it look like they're going to be thrown out they were just making it up as they way they were use their imaginations are

running wild. at the time miller himself said new concern about the regime he ran in guantanamo everything that we'd be side care built america can be proud. then in two thousand and three he was sent to iraq to advise about interrogation that. try to stop i went back to the pentagon and said this guy is clueless doesn't know what he's doing you know he's brutalizing these prisoners. in two thousand and four appalling images emerged from abu ghraib prison in iraq we also have deeply disturbing footage starkly illustrating the desperation the regime created in prison is. the images from abu ghraib caused shock around the world and in the off to martha eleven relatively low ranking u.s. soldiers were convicted with sentences ranging from imprisonment to reprimand.

afterwards major general miller he did vised about interrogation addressed a press conference in the prison yes i would like to personally apologize to the people of iraq for the actions of the small number of leaders and soldiers who violated our policy may have. committed criminal acts major general miller insisted the torture and abuse at abu ghraib was the responsibility of roots soldiers not to the point out of a top down culture we tried unsuccessfully to contact major general miller through the u.s. department of defense they declined to pass on our questions as his not retired our own procedures for internationally recognized for his bay detention of proper interrogation today the u.s. has a new commander in chief who during his election campaign completely cooled for the return of waterboarding

a practice condemned by un special rapporteur as torture they said what do you think of waterboarding i said i think we absolutely need it we should have it and if we can't we should have worse. when the president of the united states most powerful person on earth says these things that just encourages people to behave in the most. paraguay lawyer clive stafford smith organization reprieve has represented eighty prisoners at guantanamo has been released one of the great truisms is if you don't know your history years you wrote in your mistakes you know we have someone in the white house right now who knows nothing about history. of the repute and a mistake has been made back to the spanish inquisition and so we need to truth out there. but today some say the american administration seems even more determined than ever to stop the truth about the

cia's post nine eleven program getting out and that led to one of the most disturbing claims we heard during the course of making this film. and it's this that the torture of detainees in the cost is now impeding the quest for justice following the nine eleven attacks over the past years legal hearings have been underway at a secret court on the u.s. naval base in guantanamo. america's justification for holding prisoners at guantanamo is controversial. by declaring that the war on terror is an actual ongoing war the us government has argued it can detain captives of this war without charge for as long as it wants. but if they do then charge any of these detainees with specific crimes for example the five men charged with involvement in the nine eleven atrocity they're to be tried by going ton of those special courts known as

military commissions. one of the five is. accused of helping fund flight training for the nine eleven hijackers. in washington we met his defense team these civilian invalid. the law is approved by the pentagon but that doesn't stop them being deeply critical of the treatment hundred out to their client by interrogators. in my nineteen years of service the rule we have always been taught is we don't torture there's a thing that has the innocuous name of water dousing and water dowsing is water boarding without a board it's essentially drowning in ice water many of those things and worse occurred to mr obuchi but the u.s. government says certain classified evidence on torture must be kept secret but i'll bet you choose defense team says that prevents them defending him properly so this

is a death penalty case and as such where and why don't you you know all the evidence that's relevant and material to mr heartly just facts and that would include a lot of evidence from his time in cia custody where he was being tortured three and a half years. the prosecution has consistently dragged their feet on giving us that evidence the defense finds itself in the position of having to make sure that the very values that the prosecution or the u.s. government has claimed for so many decades are actually appealed therefore for me it is a chance as i see it to truly uphold the constitution of those of the united states that sterling has a much more measured response to this but but now it makes me angry that seventeen years post september eleventh almost we are still sitting in a courtroom in an offshore prison at guantanamo bay with a prosecution that is determined to hide it torture from more than

a decade ago and that i think is is offensive to and should be offensive to all americans. andrews air base near washington d.c. . this is where our journey starts to the u.s. naval base at guantanamo bay. forty five square miles of america on the southeastern corner of cuba. the military commission hearings take place at camp justice inside his camp there is a multimillion dollar legal complex so secret when not allowed to film it or say where it is journalists meanwhile are billeted in these tents. the trip it again tom has only been possible under very strict conditions we've had to

find a long document agreeing to restrictions on what we can film where accompanied at all times by a military minder that mind our checks all footage so all the pictures you will see from here have been vetted. thirst lighted camp justice kuantan a man every day begins the same way with the star-spangled banner. the media h.q. is based in a partially derelict aircraft hangar where we await a military minder to accompany us to the secret court we cannot film.
