agreement on the outbreak of the disease cannot come at a worse time for north korea which is already experiencing a severe food shortage following its worst harvest in a decade but while some analysts say the promise of aid may not be enough to north korea back to talks there are others who say that humanitarian assistance may lead to other exchanges perhaps even in the political arena and that could possibly be what south korea's strategy is. britain's main opposition labor party has held onto its seat in a by election in the city of peace abre despite losing seats in elections to the european parliament last month the by election was called after the former labor m.p. was convicted and jailed for lying over a speeding offense the result is a blow for the newly formed bret's a party that was expected to win its 1st parliamentary seat during the 2016 referendum 60 percent of voters in peterborough but that fact leaving the bloc

such votes. rio de janeiro carnival 2019 the somebody schools are getting ready to parade in january a new government came to power in brazil led by president roh a nationalist politician and former army captain during the military dictatorship from the 1960 s. to early eighty's. this somebody's school money has chosen is the

directly confronting the new president's right wing political agenda its focus the brutal history of brazil's white elite and the often ignored contributions of the country's black and indigenous heroes. tribute is being paid to mariella franco a gay afro brazilian politician and human rights activist assassinated nearly a year ago. monday as artistic director landrieu vieira took the decision to put mariella at the center of the parade and get a small amount if that was how these movies because you see the best with the how do you stop what i did was this is a village will be afforded by that that when you are you following the investigation to find out. what was. there much of it that you could get that

through crafts store without their. spirit that myself and various lives lost us in a way that we are going to out the meat but you want you to feel it was you know. mariella franco who was born in one of rios poor mostly black urban areas known as fatherless by the law i. have worked to improve the lives of minorities resulted in a triumphant election to the city council in 2016. when she became a vocal critic of brazil security forces and a champion for the many civilian casualties of their rule against the favelas struck. a fundamental power bike out there blown up the small maintenance shia joyce you know call my. face a father joe my korea side said john as i'm out here but she was just this resolute

when dealing with hecklers. no say they'll be at the no i don't doubt but it's their stock guys know up to that agency. you know sad be. bought. but someone did want to silence her on the 14th of march 28th. into dr anderson pedro gomez limited shot several times from another call. b.s. as a nation had been meticulously planned and carried out and soon the murder weapon and ammunition used will link back to the police raising serious questions about who really was behind mary-alice killing. a discourse an outpouring of grief and rage. courage and charisma that struck a chord across brazil and around the world. protesters demanded that the killers be

found. but brazil has a new government elected with the backing of the security forces my d.l. is support his fear this may undermine the investigation and if he is not going to go back and face arianrhod oh i think that it's old and if it is like trying to keep him average life the big question is whether it's not going to start at serious about finding her and if not then why. oh my oh it's been nearly a year since madea was killed and several official investigations by rios state and brazil's federal authorities on the way. assassination has begun to reveal troubling connections between security corruption and politics and we want to take a closer look at what efforts theo sora teams are making to find her killer.

we begin by following up on speculations that members of the military police assassinated mariella that she was being punished for criticizing the way they carry out their operations against drug gangs in the favelas. one such operation took place on june 20th 2018 in muddy the favela that mariella came from . the police came in by air firing and killing a 14 year old boy mark has been a serious. brunette a silver his mother told us that marcus and his friend and he couldn't live running late for school started when the show got him off and when. i show what boredom over. view the boys to cover the coming hours they faced an armored car

one very real awake and god was there again bought. them up on a box with a bunch of backyard. marcus was just one of the nearly 1400 people killed by real security forces in 28 teams. up or do so i answered i think they are well it was a surprising change up where most of you jim up on the union rules. to the outbreak in your little they'll say water which will be a the pit and a blue tblisi ice a lawyer to help bruno investigate the websites oh no she says it was mary ellen who taught money as women to challenge such injustices which is a shot of the same as a rabbit out sucker for they were. milked my beloved they watch the aren't you going to have a born also streamers boy just so much money that was a lot of homemade thank heavens and he'll. have.

no way carnival preparations are under way flavia candido was formally monday alyssa assistant. she too is highly critical of the police operations in rio's favelas. feel much stronger. edgy really cool also the ball before the law but flavia says there is more to mario is killing them revenge for criticizing police operations. most obvious in. this woman is still my. voice. for more land. things that maryellen was despised by the conservative political establishment because she empowered. by the atavism old boy's. voice.

no we'll know you. for. all. of us about what but only because. this carnival parade too is my list legacy she wanted my residence to be proud. now all of. my colleagues. i believe. the communities mistrust of the police is understandable but to date no evidence has emerged to support the theory that the police killed marianas. instead all official investigations are focusing on more sinister groups rio's

quite. secret paramilitary organizations known as militias. they have been formed by members of the security forces who felt that working within the constraints of the law was too limiting heavily armed they've taken the fight against the drug gangs into their own hands many militias have close links with politicians and some politicians even employ their services. in rio is west zone the militias control entire neighborhoods forcing residents to pay not just for security but for gas cable t.v. and transport too. according to a homicide police investigation a west so militia commander has been lending his deadly services to a local politician. we're following the footsteps of

a man who's actually accused of ordering the killing of mariella franco he's a councilman and a real estate developer and he's heavily invested in these areas. his name is muscle. and he's agreed to meet us in his sports club in ga daniel another area firmly under militia control. this club used to be run by a political opponent but sicilian or took it over. and his assistants have organized the community thank you party that just happens to coincide with our visit. with him and. the homicide police have build

a case against. based on a witness who said he heard the councilman order the militia to kill. the motive so this theory goes is that sicilian wanted to stop mariella from educating residents about the housing rights in communities where he has construction interests. but the witness has been discredited and seattle insists that he's being framed. this. doesn't mean. you. think. you're going going to change. this scene. will continue he claims a political opponent is using the allegations to undermine him if you watch. his body don't. you think if we. go.
