things that are being applied that affect european companies you know europeans have tired of the united states imposing through its financial system sanctions on europeans this is going to add to that you know to have the united states announce that germany is making a bad decision and therefore cannot be allowed to make it i'm afraid it's going to affect cooperation on issues of china issues of iran in the middle east and others as europeans you know basically want to resist this administration evermore. and gas from is saying that it will pay ukraine $2900000000.00 to settle a legal rally for its gas exports that runs through the north stream one pipeline a gas transit agreement was mediated by the european union and announced in principle in berlin on friday under the 5 year agreement ukraine is expected to withdraw all outstanding legal claims against gazprom west african leaders have

a $1000000000.00 fund to pay for armies to fight the armed groups $100000000.00 of that is distributed but with many countries in the region having to fight their individual butters alone it is fear that more than a $1000000000.00 will be needed to achieve peace. is in united nations special representative in west africa there is no question that the more riposte response is required because what we are seeing is that the groups are still a lot of resistance and where is the resilience and capacities which we have and the estimated. there has to be a response to address the root causes of violent extremism the meeting also reviewed guinea-bissau us presidential elections and importantly the plan for single currency next year a course says 7 countries now meet the criteria for a single currency but it's not clear if french speaking countries using the west

african financial community from the c.f.a. well ditch it thank you and when they come is like nigeria and ghana would want to adopt the plant common currency. which is chattel to rule out being printed printed at greece. what the world health organization is saying the an about a patient in the eastern part of the democratic republic of congo has become the 1st person that a relapse in the current outbreak the organization says 11 new cases have been confirmed in the past week and all of believed to have caught the virus from the person who relapsed so far more than 3. 1000 people have been infected in the epidemic in congo which is killed more than 2000 people since the middle of last year the outbreak is the 2nd worst on record. well now to somalia many farmers that have been left on able to feed their families because of a locust plague united nations food agency says the invasion is the west in 25

years having already destroyed 70000 at desert farmland in somalia and also in neighboring ethiopia united nations as an average formal destroyed crops that could feed 2 and a half 1000 people a year. has been worse and by heavy rainfall and flooding there are calls for government and international help to protect the crops. in chile the pension system has been coming under fire for leaving many retired workers with scarcely enough money to get by congress has passed a bill to increase pension subsidies for the country's poorest by as much as 50 percent but people are still not happy many are enraged and they're calling for a complete overhaul of the highly private privatized system that was once globally to what it. had italy see in human reports. it's the holiday season and been to see gnosis making the christmas cake but not for her family

selling these cakes is just one of the many ways the 62 year old pensioner tries to make ends meet. she also fixes clothes like other pension or low income neighborhood but at the has to keep working because after 35 years of factory work her monthly retirement check is $133.00 well below chile's poverty line. about him on the same street there are 4 grandparents in their eighty's and 3 still work the other is too ill and she lay retirement's nothing to look forward to . who lives in an upper middle class area agrees she retired at the beginning of last year after working 37 years 1st as a nurse and then as a university professor with a master's degree she used to make nearly $2000.00 a month. if we're to look for anything but when i went to do my retirement papers i discovered that i had a pauper's pension i said is this

a joke and i was told no madam it's like this for everyone the $300.00 i am getting isn't even enough to pay for my health insurance. nothing infuriates chileans of all walks of life more than their compulsory private retirement system or a.f.p. it was created under chile's military dictatorship and was supposed to guarantee pensions in. privilege to 70 percent of one's last paycheck. instead 10 to 20 percent is the average with good reason the a.f.p.'s are the number one target of millions of protestors from. chilis pension funds make massive profits which are not redistributed to the contributors even as pensions drop at the word of one of the forty's and you know this model was designed with the objective to transfer the workers savings to capital markets like banks the big retailers etc that's hope to create large economic groups that have concentrated wealth in

a few hands as never before and worst of all it's forced millions of chileans to live in misery. so in chile the suicide rate for elderly people has soared and one of the prime reasons is because they no longer have enough money with which to survive amid all the protests the government has actually raised the state pension subsidy but even after doubling that subsidy for people over the age of 80 it is still nowhere near a minimum wage at a time in life when people have greater expenses for medicine and for doctors. the government's offer to partially compensate for the a.f.p. shortcomings with tax payers money has only added more fuel to the fire and it's unlikely to be put out without a major overhaul of the pension system that only seems to be benefiting those who don't pay for it you see in human santiago

impossible people are meeting here to raise money for the search efforts of the young woman advocates and family members have started to raise awareness about the high rates of violence they disproportionately impact indigenous communities tribal police departments are understaffed and under resourced another factor is that tribes don't have jurisdiction over non-native americans for all crimes there but a lot of concerns that the federal agencies don't respond that they don't take these crimes seriously a lack of evidence is the main reason federal officials are declining to prosecute crimes on reservations that shouldn't be the end of the discussion. there should be then a ok let's see what went wrong in this case why the is no evidence or why the evidence isn't good enough and make sure that doesn't happen yet.
