goma police have fired live rounds into the air to clear protesters people tried to storm the u.n. facilities but were blocked by security forces. well there are also been protests and determine the catherine sawyer here's our correspondent in goma joins me now and catherine this really is a tense situation that's developing by the minute by the hour and spreading across a certain region certainly of the country the authorities must be very concerned and for straighted the way the public are reacting to what was supposed to be a peacekeeping force that hasn't quite aspired to what the public wanted. very concerned and people in those areas are very frustrated they're very angry today they are burying one of the protesters that was killed on saturday this protester was killed by police by

a police officer was killed by an angry mob on the same day on saturday so people are saying that they will not relent and will continue the process until their demands are met and just to show you how all this is just getting more and more complicated we're getting information about an attack that has happened in an area called all the information that we're receiving 15 people are confirmed to have been killed by a.d.'s rebels this has been confirmed by the military always has about 30 kilometers from any time by any town but still within the wider venue region we've also talked to officials of the main hospital. they have confirmed that yes the scene bodies vary quite badly mutilated have been brought to a lot of people some of this is because the state said now we are also being told

that military soldiers went to this village where the attack happened when the attackers were still there there was a confrontation the attackers fled we're not clear on casualties that might mean might have been in cards by the attackers or the military as well so for here this really is close to. what we've been talking about all day and just you know how these frustrations by the people are being felt like margin process that happening the u.n. is on high alert they their own going offensive against india rebels that this group is able to send attackers still to villages and attack and kill people so brutally and of course if the u.n. is not very in whatever capacity to try and protect the public themselves then of course the public are left to the mercy of these militia groups and for international audience catherine you know who are the a.d.f. and who actually supports them. well the a.d.f.

is a group that has been in in the r.c. in venue region for quite a long time about 20 years of 20 years it's one of the oldest rebel groups here in the b.r.c. but it's really very little and a student we don't know who for example is finding them it's not clear what their membership is all the struct it's not even clear what exactly they're fighting for this group stemmed out from the north in uganda and at the time they said they were fighting for religious inclusion but that has since changed so it's not really clear what the agenda really ease. i mean people are upset that the government is not able to contain this situation because these operations against a.d.f. have going to have been going on for such a long time and so here i was here a couple of years ago when the government forces went into that the dense forests

in beni and you know engaged in this very huge and long vassals of the a.t.f. and they came out and say look we have cleared them they're defeated 2 weeks later this attackers from a.d.'s came back to believe is and attacked again with machetes to copy taking people hocking them to death and things like that the u.n. itself officials have been saying that well people are angry and it's understandable people are saying the u.n. is ineffective understandable but you know security forces and security analysts i've been talking to are saying that as you mentioned so hail it's very difficult to see how people can be protected when they're blue hell if the blue helmets leave because right now the needs are being accused of being ineffective their presence in some areas is actually preventing more atrocities because even a leave then we'll have all these other towns and villages overrun by the dozens of

other rebel groups that are. in areas are in the forest are trying to battle for the territory in if than the r.c.c. they feed us a very volatile and you know but people you can imagine quite frustrated they were chanting today saying if you cannot protect it leave it to protect ourselves indeed this is a situation changing we'll continue to monitor it with you catherine sawyer the our correspondent in goma. south asian a bunker she called his sentence people to death in connection with one of the worst attacks in the country's history 22 people mostly foreigners died in the siege of the cafe in dhaka in 26th. has been acquitted. is outside the court. one of the most important and sensational court case in bangladesh history that judge bell it took 20 minutes to hand out the sentence says the public reaction was positive most people were happy i spoke to one of the

airport has been closed to commercial flights since 2016 now. the secretary general of the norwegian refugee council which has been working in yemen for several years while he applauds the developments he says yemen's medical system still leaves to be revived. this is a regular. hope in a in a desperate was a situation for 4 years we've asked for airport to be reopened for these medical flights but also for other commission and civilian flights. this is the place where which always had to send patients out of the country because they couldn't care for the worst and most complicated medical treatments then the airport was closed at the same time as the medical systems in yemen collapsed

so yes now we've seen thousands die in unnecessary. hoopers over but for many patients there is now hope that they can get abroad and get treatment world health organization will now be coordinating this with the government of yemen and i hope that this medical air bridge will start imminently but of course the whole medical system needs to be rebuilt half of the hospitals and clinics and so on are inoperable at the moment. rescue teams in albania argentinian to dig through rubble searching for people feared trapped in buildings brought down by tuesday's powerful earthquake the 6.4 magnitude tremor struck the capital tehran and cities in the western north killing at least $26.00 and injuring more than $600.00 people the quake is the 2nd to hit the region in 2 months john surat plus is that one of the worst hit cities to rush. the situation

here at the good us football stadium is that the entire area outside the grass of the playing field itself is covered mouth with housing families who've been staying overnight and you can see to my left there are some individual terms of. emilie's but there are also some much larger tents which are housing several families at once right now there's a lot of activity here as people attempt to distribute food there's acumen chain that's been formed going from to a collection area where boxes of edible things are being piled up the army is keeping guard over there and presumably is going to oversee the distribution these people have possibly not an innocent lunch time yesterday they've been here all night as tents will being set up the army was doing this as people were arriving so for many hours people were often simply sitting here in the cold overnight waiting

for the tent to be erected over them and now i think they're going to be not only very very hungry but also preparing for another night out here until their houses are inspected and they're told that they can go back and re inhabit them in many cases though that won't be possible if you drive around the city and do this you'll see that there are many blocks of flats in individual homes that appear to have structural damage or at least very serious damage walls have fallen out you can see into the interiors of homes clearly many many families will not be going home tonight and there has to be a long term or at least a medium term solution for those people some kind of hard shell container housing where they can stay through the winter weather because the forecast for tonight the rain and through tomorrow and these tents are going to be inadequate housing civilians. while still ahead here on al-jazeera britain's opposition say they have proof the u.k. prime minister has held talks to keep the u.s.

decide when monitoring events for us and nicholas this is always going to be a hard fought election and perhaps the initial results are quite surprising. they are indeed for the people standing here right behind me we're at the headquarters of the historic 1st political party in the country and their candidate domingo should know a spirit who was the frontrunner for this election well they hoped that this would be that they would win this election if he were to over 50 percent of the vote it didn't happen and so many people here are disappointed there's a point particularly because there was a lot of money spent in this campaign and this by this country having empty coffers these campaigns were flamboyant extravagant caravans traveling throughout the country so many here wondering why this hasn't paid off well perhaps the answer lies with the his archrival tomorrow. he calls himself the general of the

people and he has accused domingo she wears para who wears a fedora hat of being el chapo of being a profiting from the drug trade of course going to be a country on the edge of west africa is used by latin american drug traffickers to funnel cocaine to europe in the last 5 years under the presidency of george zimmerman of us 2222 tons of cocaine worth billions of dollars in a country where most people live live on less than $2.00 a month. has discovered by law enforcement so yes there's a lot at stake in this election so indeed it with just what 4 weeks now before the run of how do you think the election campaign is going to proceed is it going to be tough mean or bad or. well i says i spoke to. him he said he's going to try to attract try

to unite this country and try to attract more voters in his county 1st as to negotiate with those candidates that have lost in this election to gain their support in order to mount it to beef up his support in order to try to beat the frontrunner domingo's you know as her up in this election key demographic here are people who don't live here in the capital b. so but in the countryside where there's no access to electricity where schools or medical centers have been shut down where there is a population that have felt left behind by the state the state has been empty it has been absent in these areas and that's a key demographic that's where most of the voters are and this is where i suspect most of these 2 candidates will be campaigning outside of the south to try to attract these young voters and to vote for them so that they say they can bring back stability to this country so. for the moment of course we'll continue to

monitor what will be a very exciting 4 weeks to that next vote nicholas hytner. opposition leader john we call been says that he has proof that the united kingdom's health system is to sail in trade talks with the u.s. open so has a 451 page document is evidence prime minister boris johnson discussed offering the u.s. census to the n.h.s. johnson has previously denied the allegation labor has promised to safeguard the n.h.s. if it wins next month's election. now we know the truth is when johnson say's gets dong it's a fraud on the british people this is the reality yes above down to go see a sions n.h.s. is up for sale this election is now a fight for the survival of on national health service. and how small.
