a failing to protect them against the allied democratic forces rebel groups. determined to kick out one of the biggest peacekeeping missions in the world protesters stormed this u.n. building and a few others. that was suffering a lot because the killing in everyone here in time leaves i've lost my mother and father to the rebels on be honest about that the u.n. must syllable the phillips un more leave them we won't stop with strong point the loss of many of our brothers and sisters to the river killings was on saturday 8 people were killed in an attack and benny was blamed on the rebels that put up with the violence people caught the victims' bodies to the protests it was i think that this is my dead sister right here she came from her temple to visit me last week but the rebels killed the protesters set the town hall and maze office on fire there's been a week long shutdown of shops and businesses but. the congolese army don't see an

offensive against the allied democratic forces in october but locals say it's not enough oh with roots in uganda the rebel group has been fighting in the north kivu region for more than a decade. to vowell its 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 bend people in the eastern border city of goma also protesting i remember showing us that they can finish up we're 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 on. me but it's has also

warned it will use force when needed to protect its star. meanwhile the violence and benny's hampering efforts to contain an ebola outbreak that's killed more than 2000 people since august sort of height of al-jazeera. while the u.n. says is trying to find a resolution to the situation in beni the secretary general special representative layla's ruki took part today in a meeting of the national security council chaired by the president with ministers and military leaders she stressed that she understood the people's anger and frustration after further deadly attacks by militia known as the allied to democratic forces otherwise known as the a.t.f. the mission will work closely with the authorities to jointly find solutions for the people of benny now for the last 20 years the knighted nations has been trying to stop allies eastern region of the democratic republic of congo with its largest

peacekeeping operation in the wild as mission known as miniscule has nearly $20000.00 soldiers stationed in the north keevil and the turei regions where multiple armed groups operates raiding villages and running illegal minds when isco has an annual budget of 1400000000 dollars despite being the largest and most expensive peacekeeping mission of the united nations the violence continues and the d r c is also struggling with poverty corruption and unemployment that speak to maurice carney about this his co-founder and executive director of friends of the congo is via skype from washington d.c. thank you so much for being with us is my great anger at the u.n. peacekeeping mission justifies. certainly if you take into consideration the lack of stability the insecurity that in the region and united nations mission and money go i was sent there to assist in bringing about stability in bringing

about security so. stand to reason that the local population would be angry at the school however. put all the blame on the new school middle school and the united nations cannot replace the congolese state congolese state has the responsibility to exercise authority over its territory and has failed to do so that is why the current president a fixture security when he was running for the presidency in the elections of 2018 he said he promised the people of any regret he was going to camp out in the region and to peace and security is delivered however his actions and then far from the words that he pronounced during the campaign ultimately the responsibility is on the economy state. it as relates to how it engages the disco while it's there

as it relates to how the congolese state deal with its neighbors were won in uganda who been really the main source of the instability in the east of the congo for the last 2 decades that they invaded the congo themselves or their sponsored militia groups inside the congo so i know a lot of people that indeed the dear sir neighbors have been accused of you know being behind some of the instability that we've seen in the northeast and that's going back to the u.s. mission at me just ask you that why has the united nations not been able to maintain peace in this part of the d r c they are many today who are asking what purpose this mission really says a mission which is one of the biggest peacekeeping operations the world. what are they there for there is a good question. congolese people across the border really calling for them to to leave because they haven't been able to fulfill on their mission in. keeping the

peace there hasn't really been a peace to keep since the end of the war in 2000 to 2003 there's been an ongoing conflict simmering conflict led of course by multitude of militia groups but also backed by by congo's neighbors so 'd there is a real question though congolese are mobilizing to call for the un to retreat however once that happens the. responsibility is certainly going to be on the congolese state and that's where the ultimate responsibility lies irrespective of the performance of the united nations and we must be very critical of united nations in its inability to bring about some motor come security for the for the people in the region if the u.n. were to retreat which is far from being the case right now would the congolese army

be able to take responsibility for the security in the east are do they have the means to do so. at this juncture where they do not have the means to do so there is also a problem within the congolese army itself some people believe that it's been infiltrated highest levels. by neighboring countries who do not want to see stability in the congo so they can continue to benefit from congo and riches we also see congolese military also being a part of the problem to some extent and that they have been engaging in appearing of congo's no terror congo's resources as well so there has to be some kind of fundamental reform in the military itself and we've seen cases where strong leadership stepped up in the case of money doing dollar back in $2112012.00

however what we saw happening is that he was assassinated so whenever we see a strong leadership step up in the congolese military we see that they're usually struck down so there's a. number of players who are benefiting from from the instability and as long as those players continue to benefit from instability irrespective whether we're talking about new school we're talking about congolese military we're going to see a lack of security continue in the in the in the belly region in the east of the congo thank you so much for speaking to us maurice conny co-founder and executive director of friends of the congo live there from washington thank you for your time . in other world news in lebanon supporters of 2 shia movements have been fighting with anti-government protestors for the 2nd night vining hezbollah and amal oppose protesters demands for a complete overhaul of lebanon's power sharing system where polls are divided on

a sectarian basis as some of the worst violence since protests against the ruling elites began last month a scenes like these are putting lebanon's military and security forces into an increasingly difficult position they've gone to great lengths to protect anti-government demonstrators for more than a month now confronting the powerful iran backed hezbollah could draw in the neutral position the military seeks to maintain and split its ranks the army's one of the few state institutions that enjoy wide public support it's seen as a unifying force in a deeply divided country rami hoary is a journalism professor at the american university of beirut and a senior fellow at harvard's kennedy school i asked him earlier what message has been and its allies are trying to send by putting their supporters out on the streets so one theory is that these are 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's created another serious that

no this is not linked to any kind of political resolution this is the hizbullah and i'll 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 we're going to send these people back home as happened in the past where a little bit of rough handling by the. the young men of hezbollah and them alone others has sent protesters back home so we'll see which way it goes and the lebanese army meanwhile finds itself in the middle of this kennett stay neutral if the situation where to degenerate if you know things were to get worse is a risk that the lebanese army could be. facing off with has been as powerful forces know there's no risk of army has both a faceoff that's never going to happen the risk is that the army would get pulled into. the tensions on the street and some other words and then perhaps the army

would. implode from within and it will collapse in some share members some christian members some so members some group members would all leave the army and go form their own militia this year happened during the civil war when the army collapsed with i don't think that's going to happen a u.s. giant has ordered former white house counsel don mcgann to appear before congress it's a setback to president donald trump's efforts to keep top aides from testifying again was a witness in special counsel robert mueller as investigation into election interference the decision could lead to renewed efforts by house democrats the current other high ranking officials to give evidence at the impeachment inquiry the justice department says it will appeal against offending it as winning game lead is underway in washington d.c. to further explain this soul gave another setback for president trump remind us 1st of food on the gun is and why his testimony could be so important. don began as

you mentioned was the white house counsel for donald trump and the white house for many many many months there during the moments during the. process of the 1st couple years of the trump presidency during key critical moments there the judiciary committee the house judiciary committee since april has been requesting to have made gand testify in their investigation in to whether donald trump obstructed justice in the investigation into russian meddling into the 2016 election the judiciary committee sees seesmic and as a key witness and in this and again has said all along he would not testify in this to the justice to the judiciary committee because he and his lawyers said that he was immune that is the argument but that was clearly shot down in a 120 page ruling by a federal judge came down late monday in the ruling the judge essentially said that

any argument that mcgann was immune is quote fiction and forcing him to testify do we expect to see him testifying anytime soon probably not because as you mentioned the justice department already said they are going to appeal this on behalf of mcgann it could be a lengthy appeals process and even if he does testify at some point he could perhaps deflect and not answer all of the questions claiming. immunity so nevertheless so a huge setback for president donald trump in his attempt to shield some of his top officials from testifying in some of these investigations irish set back what could it mean for the impeachment inquiry. yeah it could mean a lot quite frankly could throw off the entire timetable for the democrats and there in impeachment investigation the democrats have been saying they wanted to have a vote on impeachment by the end of december this changes things because and this

is why people like john bolton the former national security adviser and mick mulvaney trumps current chief of staff those for example are 2 key people they are also saying they are not testifying to the house intelligence committee because they are also claiming the same thing that mcgann claims that saying they are immune so this ruling by this federal judge saying basically that mcgann is not immune could mean also now that these other top white house officials one present and one former also now potentially could be forced to testify as well this could be a precedent set by this judge and clearly the house. judiciary committee and the house intelligence committee would certainly want to wait to push through any sort of vote on impeachment intil they could potentially hear from bolton and or mulvaney so this changes everything potentially thank you very much for that

interesting yes obviously that last part of the what we just heard her say is really the biggest line that has come out of this press conference that is that she recognizes this overwhelming voice as she puts it of the people of hong kong voting for pro-democracy candidates in these local elections this to counter elections really sends a message that there was there is a general dissatisfaction with the way the government is handling this political crisis that now almost 6 months old so that is really kind of the top line before that she thanked all the people who were participated in putting the elections forward she thanked the people to come out who came out and voted you know this was the biggest turnout for any election in hong kong's history so it's quite a big deal for the territory here but obviously a sending a specific very specific message and what she said too before she took a question and answer the question answer period she said that she hopes that this calm that we've been experiencing here in hong kong a couple days before the election now a couple days after the election she hopes that that will remain and obviously it's

going to be really depend i would imagine on what she does however government reacts to what she says was a voice of dissatisfaction from the people of hong kong of how she and her government have been handling the situation ali thank you for that for seeing hong kong well despite the scale of the pro-democracy camp victory beijing says it will continue to back carry government and thomas has a view from china's capital in mainland china hong kong's election results are being effectively ignored. about the landslide victory for the pro-democracy candidates a spokesman the china's foreign ministry avoided the question jubal to learn ending violence and restoring order is the priority for hong kong hong kong is a passive china in hong kong's of fees a purely china is to live for us. chinese media 2 said nothing about opposition parties doing well this is monday's china day printed on sunday night before the

results came out inside it suggests the high turnout is good news for pro stablish from parties but since the results of come out nothing no update on the website of this newspaper. and nothing in any of china's official media on the substance of the results. we stopped people in beijing to ask them what they thought of the result. the response was confusion over this oh yeah go make had no one we spoke to had heard anything about them without him on. the one man who did want to talk said this broad throughout history i haven't paid too much attention this vote in hong kong yet but i think stopping the violence and chaos is the priority now we are too soft on the hong kong facts tolerance has to have a limit. the chinese central government should strike them hard. but

do you know the result of the vote though i don't know the result yet i've been busy all day with work and. official media coverage before hong kong's vote and of the turnout but not the results suggest speccing thought those results would be different it seems unlikely though that the actual results will change beijing's attitude towards hong kong i don't think there will be any change in the positions on the chinese central government why because this is a matter of upmost importance to the child it really impacts all of the one country 2 system it impacts on china's sovereignty over the whole car already the government has expressed renewed confidence in chief executive kerry lam and it shows no sign of making concessions on any of the protesters demands andrew thomas al jazeera beijing. perils top court has ordered the release of jailed opposition

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 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 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 a 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. the chief executive of australia's 2nd largest bank is stepping down over a money laundering scandal regulators say westpac broke on time money laundering and counter-terror finance laws a staggering $23000000.00 times the most damaging allegations revolve around the bank's failure to monitor customers who were transferring money for child exploitation the company's likely to be forced to pay more than a $1000000000.00 in fines still ahead on the al-jazeera news hour audacious robbery
