for the security situation is concerned it did because. by about 8 days it was due to be held earlier this month but because of an imminent threat of attack across the tribal region the election was born but today we have seen a favorable turnout people are coming out there about 2800000 registered voters over a 1600000 men and 1100000 women wore separate boot camp being set up for ball but they figured the situation had improved the. military to military forces. and their tribal area along also. in order to ensure that elections go moodley as you mentioned earlier they did indeed

a historic opportunity because it is for the 1st time that the people of their tribal regions will be electing their provincial family members and of course their tribal area and now being merged into mainstream. after an act of parliament and kemal what's at stake here you know given the region's history of under development and also no wallace this. far is that you all are concerned because the tribal regions are drawn are very close to the of on border. the u.s. led invasion many of the. fighting against the coalition forces came across into pakistan's tribal areas because of the brooklyn of understand it should not be forgotten that during the war against the soviet occupation their tribal areas big game the aging ground for. their had connection than that they

tricks and have become part of the book. come on thank you very much for that come on hi there joining us live from. kabul thank you. now health officials are struggling to contain about a epidemic in the democratic republic of congo the world health organization has declared it and national public health emergency and their fate is that the lack of leadership on the ground when they get to a greater crisis james bay is reports from the united nations. once again africa is confronted with one of the world's most contagious and deadly diseases 1600 deaths in the democratic republic of congo and for now cases of a boat continue to rise the last major outbreak of the disease was in 2014 then the u.n. set up a special mission the united nations mission for a boat emergency response or a mere tony banbury was the u.n.

official in charge he's been watching the response to the latest outbreak with frustration we need a much more comprehensive response and until that happens until there's political leadership in till there's a crisis operations leadership on the ground we're just going to see the current of both crisis in the deer get worse do you believe that political considerations perhaps have trumped the the public health ones here i heard a very senior official from w.h.o. on the radio saying one reason they delayed declaring an international public health emergency was precisely because of opposition within the dear 3 government it was said loud and clear by a senior official and for those of us who were thrust into the 2014 crisis very late in the game it was devastating to hear that frankly because that was one of the big mistakes from the 24th crisis the un's top humanitarian official admits

that the global response to a boat is badly underfunded we hope there will be a much stronger international response one of the thing. as i have been noting is that the response i think to the last outbreak which attracted this. status from w.h.o. involved $2000000000.00 in an area to graphically which is comparable to that we do with an east india see now with a population which is not so wildly different we have at the moment only a fraction of that in 2014 the crisis was even seen as a potential threat to international peace and security the security council met to discuss the situation no such meetings are planned this time mr bambery who 5 years ago was the one brief the security council says that shows there is not yet the global leadership needed to defeat this latest outbreak jamesburg al-jazeera at the

united nations. thousands of people have rallied and puerto rico for another day demanding the government's resignation but carter was a is accused of corruption sexism and homophobia after messages between him and his aides when. they shot the show they're mocking women the disabled and victims of hurricane moving here but it's been nearly 2 years since the storm destroyed much of the island and many involuntary a still rebuilding their lives there frustrated by the political storm unfolding in the capital. reports from the town of yeah. ok let's talk about lucy and mariano pinto survived hurricane maria not much else around them did the storm ripped the roof off their house and did permanent damage they still use a tarp to keep rainwater out for a long time their frustration was

a slow response from the puerto rican government. politicians only want power they don't care about the poor it took a direct hit from hurricane maria when it made landfall nearly 2 years ago this is what it looked like the town of 35000 people on the far southeast corner of the island was flattened they were without power for many months now there are still some scars from the storm and some rebuilding for the most part life is back to normal here but there's a new crisis and it's about politics having lived through the worst of hurricane maria the people of yabloko but no natural disasters better than anyone there now watching from afar this political disaster and golfing the capital sana'a. and most people here just like most of the people in the rest of the island want this governor gone. you know he still hasn't resigned he's still there in power but i

hope he resigns because the people don't want him on the streets calling for governor ricardo to resign his vulgar group messages insulting his own people leaked over the weekend have thrust puerto rico into its worst ever political crisis for the pink those the time is now for him to step down. it's very bad things happening with this political crisis it's hurting everything because the government is supposed to help us but all we can do is keep fighting. or we don't have a future with him the people don't want him nobody wants him as governor anymore in a quarter puerto rico once pounded by a hurricane now just wanting the political storm to end gave rosendo. puerto rico. now july 20th marks the 50th anniversary of the 1st moon landing.

for. the fees to our ship in a new era of space exploration and inspired people around the world bought only a handful of man's lunar missions have been accomplished now the u.s. says it wants to send astronauts back to the moon as soon as 2024 dr david helms as a former nasa astronaut and he says the decline in public interest contributed to the end of the apollo program. it was a huge effort in the 1960 s. to achieve it a huge push it was a credible team effort almost half a 1000000 americans and other people around the world were were involved in getting a man on the moon and if you think about it from 1961 when we 1st landed on 969 it was only 8 years we were struggling just to get into space and 8 years later we were on the moon and so the novelty of having

a man human being a citizen of this world set foot on the on the another so lest you object was. lots of novelty associated with it but after 6 missions i think. now would be somewhat more wore off and from a space standpoint i think we were looking that further options were looking at going to them to mars and at the end of the apollo program i think we all thought within the space of maybe 10 or 15 years we would be on mars or fruit. down on the product and how with the headlines on al-jazeera iran has seized the bush oil tanker and the strait of hormuz has the revolutionary concept the ship and it's a $23.00 crew are being held at

a lot more than that for her so. i was. not quite. well. i guess i'm just sorry that is it was out ok. so it was obvious that. spat delivered but the return journey promises to be even tougher ahead lies 150 kilometers of mostly unpaved roads that have been further devastated by torrential rain while the small beat up truck may not be a pretty sight it's impressively study. unlike the truck santa has to drive the only one he has available probably do right now as he got seas are rough.

sufficient funds still bring some of the work to a complete halt. on the polish that they gave up by mama not to tell them but not go but then he got out and. that was pretty good and bad again maybe. if you think about all of. those carrying on such a matter and has 7 children live in this tough constructed house. now i. don't know but you know maybe i need to try and work on the numbers that i came out of us out of i'm out fashion not going to get that amount lol. oh my god i think i'm up and mango i should come up once you think you've got good you know muffin think buff and. loads of. our economy is going to hold i think the family got going to have to think you could. take.
