north kivu region for more than a decade. to vowell it's killed more than 1500 people in the area in the last 5 years and it's one of many armed groups fighting for control of the mineral rich border region. in solidarity with those in beni people in the eastern border city of goma also protesting. to remember the show that the container ships were blocking the road and we reject all of the un's work here because it remains silent that people are killed or better and other areas the u.n. does nothing but the u.n. mission here has defended itself saying it does not shoot at protesters and can also engage in operations in a war zone without strict coordination with the congolese army but it has also warned it will use force when needed to protect its stall. meanwhile the violence in benny's. hampering efforts to contain an ebola outbreak that's killed more than
2:04 am
2000 people since august son of al jazeera. and earlier we spoke to helen baki hollands hosey director of the d.r. sees eastern zone for world vision she thinks the situation may worsen given the ongoing ebola outbreak the country's already facing so the area where any find to stop is an area of large population movement as i mentioned there's been conflict a number of years and people are fleeing their homes their livelihoods and their villages to seek safe refuge where they can feel that they are protected from violent conflict and clashes and this means there are a number of people moving around the area which is very difficult to trace contact but they become infected with the bone and to really break the chain of contamination and stop disease spreading any further asked after witness protests in the streets they've heard the gunshots and they've also had the report such as
2:05 am
you've outlined earlier but our stuff really are very concerned that we need to get back to where we need to be working with the communities and preventing the spread of a boat but children and families in this area it's really difficult situation incredibly challenging this is a crisis on top of a crisis on top of a crisis these people are incredibly vulnerable and need our support and we want to be returning to work so we can respond that basic needs. in other world news in lebanon supporters of 2 shia movements have been clashing with anti-government protestors for the 2nd night in a row as bala and amar supporters are opposing protesters demands for a complete overhaul of lebanon's power sharing system where posts are divided on the basis of sectarian clout the clashes early on sunday were among the worst spells of violence in supposed tests against the ruling elite began last month that
2:06 am
speak to rami khouri now's a journalism professor at the american university of beirut and senior fellow at harvard's kennedy school his live from boston thank you so much rami for being with us the nationwide protests in lebanon have been knowledge of the peaceful since they began unlike in iraq for instance but for the past few days we've seen lebanon's military finding itself in the middle between anti-government protesters and hezbollah supporters just how dangerous a situation are we looking at. this is a potentially important turning point and it could be a turn to the positives to resolve the tensions in the stalemate and come up with a new government and start to dress the really serious problems that the country is facing or could be returned to the negative to have continued political stalemate deterioration of the economy collapse of the lebanese liras value. increase in poverty and continued incidents of our which we don't know which way it's going to
2:07 am
go but it's been 5 weeks now none of the dynamics are sustainable or the right the mass protests the government inaction the economic troops for none of that is sustainable so something asked from by sending its supporters on to the streets what message is hezbollah and its allies saddening. this is exactly what the political class is trying to figure out in lebanon right now i've talked to people today and there's really 2 theories one is that this is a show of force by hezbollah and them who really represent 2 of the most of 14 movements in the government structure and who are particular targets of the of the protesters and terms of maintaining this corrupt and inefficient government system so one theory is that there are these this show of force just before the negotiations begin to create a new government to maintain a certain role for them in the new government that created another syria is that no
2:08 am
this is not meant to any kind of political resolution this is the hezbollah and them al and some other people allied with them saying we're fed up with this kind of citizen protest. and the issues that is causing and within a sign these people back home as as happened in the past where a little bit of rough handling by the the the young men of hezbollah and their mother and others has sent protesters back home so we'll see which way it goes yeah and the lebanese army meanwhile finds itself in the middle of this kenny stay neutral if the situation way to degenerate if you know things were to get worse is there a risk that the lebanese army could be facing off with has been a spa full forces. i know there's no risk of army has bought a face off that's never going to happen the risk is that the army would get pulled into the tensions on the street and some of the violence and then perhaps the army
2:09 am
would would implode from within and would collapse and some share members some christian members some so the members some group members would all leave the army and go from there on the list this is what happened during the civil war when the army collapsed what i don't think that's going to happen and one of the really important developments since the syrians left lebanon in 2005 has been the affirmation of the role of the army and the police of the intelligence in genuinely trying to protect the country and its well being and they've avoided getting involved in serious political controversies as had been the case in the past and they're trying to play the role today they've pretty much done a good job of protecting the protesters in most cases at the same time trying to keep the roads open when the roads are blocked sometimes the likelihood is they'll be able to maintain that important role because nobody in lebanon wants the army to
2:10 am
suffer ironically very good thoughts on this thank you so much for joining us from e-coli from the american university of beirut showing us there from boston thank you for your time. and they are widespread concerns about lebanon's economy as you heard mention a shortage in u.s. dollars has cost several businesses to close and many have lost their jobs the crisis has fears about the country's economic future is in a harder report. there is a shortage of u.s. dollars in the lebanese market it's causing a crisis and adding to the political uncertainty is the campaign against the leadership gathers momentum the economy doesn't rely on the local currency the euro importers pay in dollars and many businesses demand payment in the u.s. currency small i'm going to move from my apartment because the owner is insisting on taking that i'm. not willing to pay it because this really means up my
2:11 am
grant will increase approximately 3035 percent of the official rate of $1500.00 liras to the dollar has it changed but banks are limiting access and that has created a black market where the local currency lost up to 25 percent of its value it's driving up the cost of goods in a country where almost everything is imported. now and. this is an increase in prices with you deal with those or not it makes no difference prices of goods are going up we're buying in layers and it's lost value. businesses have been closing and staff are being laid off the local currency which had been stable for decades began devaluing before the nationwide protests against the ruling elite began in september 11th aunts leaders to learn what they call them and i'll make state of emergency it was their plans to raise taxes to fund government expenditures that sparked the demonstrations
2:12 am
a month later. the country's also in political turmoil facing what many describe as its worst crisis since the end of the civil war in 1990 those in the governing alliance are blaming the protesters who are calling for a nonpartisan government and early elections for card tribute to the economic collapse it's an accusation they deny. us blocking the road at this point in time is not going to leak harvick within the region or cause a new traffic more than there are the is but rather stand as a symbol of what we need to the fact that we will not be stopped by fear and that regardless of what happens we will continue to move forward because we are very persistent words like. they have opponents the mainly sectarian parties in power supporters of the shah parties hezbollah are hostile towards the protests and they have used violence against those of the streets there is a fear of the relative calm just now may not hold their beirut.
2:13 am
plenty more ahead on this al jazeera news hour including the death toll ere in kenya rises after heavy rain triggers landslides blasts why some believe the ends fear racism will increase not at the country's 1st indigenous president has resigned and in sports and eurabia and the u.a.e. send their football teams on a direct flight to doha for the gulf cup a 1st since a imposed a blockade on qatar in 2017. to chile now way politicians from the president's party has sparked outrage after saying the country cannot be normalized without violating human rights senator andras i am monds controversial remarks came hours before another round of anti-government protests and the mess internationally for says chile security forces have deliberately injured protesters in more than a month of demonstrations over social inequality
2:14 am
a latin america at its embassy in yemen has more from santiago on the volatile situation. well the idea is to allow them to at least this is what the president is saying safeguard what he calls key installations water electricity hospitals and possibly police stations as well that it could also be extended to our safeguarding of patrolling the metro station so the a lot of the people in the opposition and people out here on the streets where we are going out of town are very unhappy about that they say that the army has already shown that it violates human rights when it was out for 10 days when a state of emergency was declared back in october at the end of october they say that is not time yet to open the door such as that that the only way that this peace can be peace can be restored and security can be restored to chile is by implementing the social reforms that people out here on the streets are calling for right now we're at a women's march there are thousands and thousands of women here today who are
2:15 am
demanding that they to be included in the social reforms that have been widely discussed but they actually have pretty much left women at the bottom of the barrel if you like the women the issues that specifically pertain to women's rights and to the fact their inclusion in the new constitution and many many other things such as abort for abortion and and the fight against femicide remember this is the day that the world is commemorating the number of femicide to take place throughout the world. and demonstrations are under way in colombia for a 5th day protesters are angry over economic reform plans and corruption and speak talk or spawn and honest on their own p.t. in bogota so on it's on there are 50 of protests how big of a crowd today and what's the mood like. well foley this is probably the biggest the demonstrations since last thursday that start
2:16 am
this unprecedented really movement through here. never before. this country has seen such a. number of days of protests and demonstrations against the government in a number of major cities we are here in the capital where thousands of people have taken to the streets this is the 1st demonstration that was formally organized by the union the students in the engine is leaders that were behind the national strike on thursday so far the mood is absolutely peaceful and. after the violence that we've seen breaking out there especially on the 1st day thursday and then again on friday when the government decided to impose a curfew here in the capital bogota for the 1st time in 42 years now the protesters have reached a deal with the mayor to avoid the presence of anti riot police and just having
2:17 am
regular police controlling demonstrations so far everything is going. to move also the same has been true yesterday in a number of spontaneous demonstrations so fortunately the violence that we've seen in the 1st scene of the 1st couple of days seems to have subsided what hasn't subsided is the fact that people remain on the streets remain montevideo and then they want to see a number of social and economic changes. and president duke has talked to the so-called national dialogue but i understand that he hasn't spoken to the leaders of the strike yet on a sunday or any news on when that might happen. people are quite bothered. because respond to these rallies in general they feel that the dressing the issue that people are marching for and that this national dialogue is
2:18 am
being used as a way to sort of explain what the policies of the government. and the great things according to the president that he has done for example to implement the peace agreement even though he has campaigned against it which is definitely one of the main issues for the people that are marching here and they are bothered by the fact that he started this conversation by the side at least for now to meet with the mayors and governors elected again today he was speaking to some union leaders and 2 intrapreneur is in the country but not the people who have been organizing these these marches and the leaders of the strike i've called for a press conference tomorrow on tuesday to deal with this situation but so far we don't know when they will meet with president duke and if they will at all since he also decided to essentially tell the vice president. to
2:19 am
be leading this national conversation which also seems to be bothering the protesters here now one thing to consider though is that however this demonstration is big it's not as huge as the ones that we've seen on thursday and friday days we're also going to have to see if this will continue to sustain itself at the level that we've seen in past days thank you for that. reporting a knife from the street so we're talking on these capital who the rebels in yemen say they have launched a series of rocket and drone attacks on assad to you a military campaign and in the south of yemen they claim they've killed or injured up to 350 people the saudi nation though hasn't confirmed the attack well golly god is one of these no one camp has been targeted by 9 rockets and 20 drone 350 people have been killed and injured among them so how does in iraq is an sudanese 5 weapon caches have been destroyed armors and other military equipment have been destroyed
2:20 am
rather and put you had better has had been damaged in the operation. israel has deported a senior official of human rights watch earlier this month that supreme court upheld a government decision to expand or marcia care who is a us citizen has been accused of supporting a global campaign to boycott israeli goods and services and israeli not from 27000 bars entry to people who publicly support the movement into a brain reports from the occupied west bank this drive to the airport and the legal battle the drew international attention for a year and a half. this israel palestine director for human rights watch are much sakit. thank you has left israel. this is the 1st deportation since a 2017 law that bars entry for supporters of the boycott divestment and sanctions movement against israel. israeli government says scheck it has been active in the b.d.s. campaign in the past it's not about omar it's about human rights watch there's no
2:21 am
point replacing them or because our next research would have the exact same problem that omar didn't in 2016 human rights watch issued a call for businesses to stop operating in illegal israeli settlements in the occupied west bank a call this really supreme court said amounts to a boycott 2nd won't be leaving his post and will continue working from abroad he says the human rights watch will double its efforts so that it's not affected by his deportation ultimately while facing a small but i hope that this is a clear message to the world because alternately if the world is unable to stop israel from deporting somebody documenting rights abuse how is it ever going to stop rights abuse earlier this month israel's interior minister the area dairy said all those who work against israel will not be allowed to live or work in the
2:22 am
country. after shuckers deportation many here are wondering who might be next human rights organizations say the this isn't doesn't target only will advocate a boycott but it's a warning against any critic of the israeli occupation later up was it is a palestinian working with amnesty international and. he was denied the right to travel outside of the west bank in october and he says this is because of his work against israeli settlements the ban was imposed a couple of months after we released the campaign against online companies that work in israeli settlements so this is obviously an attack not only against me but against all the critical voices that speak against what the israeli government is doing israel considers the b.b.'s movement a strategic threat while rights activists say it's one of the few is left to fight against the israeli occupation. over him al-jazeera the occupied west bank.
2:23 am
u.s. president donald trump ordered the pentagon to let a member of the navy who was convicted of misconduct keep his elite status in a case which led to the firing of the navy secretary navy c.e.o. edward gallagher was convicted of posing for photographs with the body of a teenage eyesore calf to a captive but cleared of murder the navy had wanted to oust him from the commando unit as bringing gave elizondo in washington to explain this further so what is president trump saying about his decision to help this navy seal gate. well he just will not let this issue go trump has been supporting this navy seal for many many months now publicly on twitter and elsewhere and just he keeps taking this issue as far as he can and wants to keep talking about it you know he this is a very. controversial case with this navy seal who as you mentioned was cleared in acquitted of any war crimes however he was convicted of
2:24 am
a lesser crime of military crime of posing with as you mentioned a body of a teenage i saw a fighter during his deployment in iraq so the military command basically said listen this guy was cleared of war crimes but we still do not think he's fit to serve with in the naval sea naval seal command naval seals and so the navy navy in the military wanted to kick him out that's when trump stepped in and said absolutely not you've got to stop any further investigations towards him he also is going to be trump also came in and said that he would get all of his his rank restored to him as well clearing him pretty much of any wrongdoing this is what trump had to say about this he met with the bulgarian prime minister on monday afternoon he was asked about this by reporters and this is what trump said on why he's defending this naval seal so vigorously. there's never been
2:25 am
a president that's going to stick up for them and has like i have including the fact that we spent 2 and a half trillion dollars on rebuilding our own course. some very unfair things were happening you let sergeant bergdahl go you let others go including a young gentleman now a person who president obama let go still tremendous amounts of classified information and gave what have been the reactions within the military to president's decision are they divisions there most certainly are as some people are saying it's almost like trump is waging a war with his military commanders you know trump is as the as the commander in chief of the u.s. armed forces he can pretty much make any decisions he wants when it comes to the u.s. military but as some are saying doesn't necessarily mean those decisions are necessarily
2:26 am
correct or right there are divisions i mean clearly there's top military commanders that specifically told trump not to do this that he should let the military process play out and that the military wants to do some do some. actions against gallagher but trump ignored that advice but he trump is popular with many soldiers and their soldiers families so i think trump is out promoting this case and speaking about it because he feels it plays well with a lot of military rank and file soldiers who see trump as someone that puts america 1st as is his words and someone who defends the u.s. military and the soldiers so in some ways it's almost become a little bit of a political issue thank you for that gabriel is on to live for us in washington d.c. . 5 more people are confirmed dead in kenya after heavy flooding brain the total number of deaths to $65.00 several east african countries are being hit by heavy

you're watching the news on al-jazeera of reminder of our top stories the un has denied allegations its peacekeepers in the democratic republic of congo shot at protesters who stormed its buildings in 4 people were killed in the on the protesters say the u.n. has failed to protect them from the rubble of topics tensions in lebanon's capital beirut have escalated for a 2nd night both supporters of movement hezbollah and amal are clashing with anti-government protesters hundreds of thousands are calling for a complete overhaul of the nominees political system and the number of people killed and flooding in northwest kenya has risen to 65 rescue workers have been sent to caught close to the border with uganda but are being hindered by bad weather conditions. now monday marks the international day to end violence against women is an issue the u.n. calls the most devastating human rights violation in the world it's found that one
2:33 am
in 3 women experience some sort of physical or sexual violence in their lifetime on average $137.00 women around the world are killed by a family member or partner every day more than half of all women killed each year and violence targeting women causes as many deaths and injuries as cancer. is executive director of un women that's the un branch dedicated to gender equality she says violence against women is a global issue that needs a global approach. this is a crime that is committed everywhere in the world some of the emerging lessons in promising intervention. are coming from different parts of the world but what is really common is the need for have legislation. that criminalizes violence against women of all forms we're focusing on repeal in particular the see it but also you
2:34 am
need to multi-sector our approach it should not just be the justice and criminal system that is dealing with it we need health professionals you need the survivors and enjoy and service to be a part of this you need to the police and they actually need to work together in real time where we're seeing changes it is with this coordination hold at this point in time it is not the calm one and the mainstream approach to deal with this crime and once we're trying to do is the is the u. n. is to try to convince member states about the wisdom of making this the way it operates in every country well among the worst places for violence against women is a latin america and the caribbean reports show the region is home to 14 of the $25.00 countries with the highest rates of femicide in the world according to the economic commission for latin america and the caribbean more than $3500.00 women were killed for gender based reasons last year a separate report found male violence has become so normalized in the region that
2:35 am
86 percent of young people would not interfere if a male friend hit their female partner and even with femicide on average claiming the lives of 12 women a day in latin america the u.n. estimates 98 percent of gender related killings go unprosecuted while events are being held across latin america to mark the un's international day for eliminating violence against women in brazil's capital hundreds of crosses with pink ribbons were planted in a field near congress is a protest against rampant attacks that can. tinubu despite its new laws and in mexico city people gathered in commemoration of female victims of violence an average of 10 women are killed each day in mexico making it one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a woman. speak to rebecca tavares who's president and c.e.o. of the brazil foundation she's live from new york thank you so much for becca for being with us on al-jazeera let's focus on not in america if we can why why is
2:36 am
violence against women and male violence against women to be more specific so prevalent in this region of the world what are the underlying factors behind this. we'll patriarchy and subordination and discrimination against women and girls everywhere are under the basic underlying factor and that's true across the you know north south east west across the globe but in latin america there is a long history of violence. colonial movements and murder in more recent decades the civil rights i'm sorry the civil unrest in the civil wars have caused a created a violent environment so you see the top countries in latin america colombia el salvador guatemala are the countries the highest in the world for violence are countries that have experienced a lot of normalized violence due to the civil wars in the region and the drug and gang wars as well but that's not the full explanation the explanation for violence
2:37 am
in latin america as it is everywhere is simply that women are still considered to be property of men they somehow represent the honor of the male ego and so when the male ego feels violated or somehow humiliated then the person that's the ficta of the humiliated anger and shame is the woman or the girl and we see cases especially of young girls cases of rape in brazil for example a girl under age 18 is raped every 2 minutes the most dangerous place for a girl or woman is in her own home and specifically in her kitchen the rates of violence in some countries such as the ones the 1st the top of the list in central america and colombia can be as high as 70 percent of women that are affected by violence and as you say that's become normalized right there have been recent studies in brazil that showed that 58 percent of women felt that it
2:38 am
was normal for a woman to be beaten if she used the wrong type of clothing so i think general it's a problem across the society right but but beyond all is i mean against violence and femicide in many of these countries why has not that not been enough to change the trends in is it also about changing the attitudes perhaps. exactly you know i was many years with the un with un women and i worked with them c.l.a. as well and we worked very very hard to influence the norm in the normative framework the laws and policies that govern criminal behavior when we worked hard to make sure that marital rape was considered a crime to ensure that all forms of violence and abuse including psychological violence it would be considered also violence against women and person and considered a crime and prosecuted as a crime and more recently feminist side has been defined as
2:39 am
a crime feminist side is murder of women that specifically because they are women so we've made great advances and policies and laws are in place and most of the countries in latin america but impunity is still rampant and there's weak enforcement so even the armed forces can be or the police the officials public authorities can be also perpetrators and they don't take seriously or as seriously as they should these cases they look the other way so what are the consequences then all this violence and how do we break the cycle well the most. bracing consequence is that 2 percent of g.d.p. is represented by the loss in productivity of women due to their being unable to contribute productively to the society due to lost hours of work and also the
2:40 am
expenses to the public health system so there's a real economic distress that's created by all of these forms of violence but it also is an intergenerational. consequence so that young girls grow up with the sense of disempowerment and boys learn that violence is normal or somehow that they will go on punished so we see a. whole generations of people young people that are. continuing the cycle of violence what can be done is the work that many many of the n.g.o.s whimsically said earlier in the show many of the ngos many of the government programs civil society organizations are working directly in the schools they're developing new curricula teacher training so that young people can be taught that this is not normal and they can learn different forms of interacting with one another we've also worked a lot with police police are really the front line in protecting women and girls
2:41 am
rights to be free of violence and to be dignified and to have their rights respected so we do a lot of police training and provide incentives for police to recognise and address cases of domestic violence as well as trafficking in women and girls trafficking is a situation where the police and the authorities there are on the public highway so with even the transit authorities and once they're alerted to this problem they can identify and rescue girls that are being trafficked or and this is a serious problem in latin america particularly in brazil and in part why argentina chile rebecca talk to st you so much just 2 examples right thank you so much as if we are inside there unfortunately thank you for your insights on this story if you joining us rebecca to viruses from the brazil foundation.
