west africa's regional court the community has taken its case before west africa's regional court because they say the people have little for use in the justice system. this is al-jazeera. hello i'm convinced all this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes trying as president warns his country is facing a grave situation as more people die of a new coronavirus. the evidence is actually really overwhelming. that the president did nothing wrong. u.s. president donald trump's legal team begins its defense in his impeachment trial warning that removing him from office will set a dangerous precedent. refusing to back down to find protesters in lebanon gather

outside beirut central government buildings to denounce the new cabinet. and a threat of more rain up to dozens of people die and thousands are left homeless following landslides in brazil. china has confirmed more deaths and more infections from the outbreak of coronavirus president described the situation as grave warning that the spread of the illness is excel or writing the death toll now stands at $54.00 and nearly 2000 people are infected that is putting a strain on chinese hospitals many are overwhelmed around $50000000.00 people in china are effectively on lockdown after authorities cut off transport links to han the epicenter of the outbreak and surrounding cities dozens of cases have been

reported outside of china the u.s. and france are among countries that have made plans to evacuate this is their citizens rather from. let's go live now to scott hyla who joins us outside a bus station in beijing scott i believe there have been more restrictions on travel what can you tell us. there has been yes here in beijing the capital you know there are several long distance bus stations here in the city as of midnight so just several hours ago all service in and out long distance bus service has been severed here to beijing and that is because the bus service here is a little bit less regulated than the high speed trains and the airplanes so the government really wants to be able to track people who travel from long distances here into the city so that's why they have cut the bus service a long distance plus service in and out of beijing again this is one of several stations here in beijing and just to underline you know we heard from xi jinping yesterday the very rare move pope we are standing committee these are the 7 most

powerful people in china met on the 1st day of lunar new year that's a very rare move and as we heard she's been paying said it's a very grave situation and to underline that he said that one person on that 7 member poll if you will over see the cone of virus action here in china that's another elevation to the very very top of the government here in china so interesting to see how that actually works in moving forward we have been hearing that there's going to be a special group to handle this they'll be traveling down to han to oversee this directly and call the u.s. and france as we're being sanger on the countries that are now looking to get their citizens evacuated from around 50. yes will hunt city will be seeing some evacuations from some nations united states and france we know that the united states has chartered 767 boeing aircraft to take people to take citizens out diplomats and american citizens out of hand we know

that the french government has also there what they're doing is they're chartering buses to take its citizens who want to leave out on and then they'll fly them from a distance outside of the epicenter of this virus so some nations taking action now to get their citizens out of. thank you for that update that sounds. from beijing hong kong has raised its threat level in an effort to contain the outbreak at least 5 cases have been confirmed on the territory. all responses reached emergency level i will personally have into department to meetings and we have a command center so we can get the views from the experts and come up with strategies and initiatives when we deal with this public health event i think you'll understand that we need to be quick in making decisions when we can make decisions for the society of hong kong the corona virus outbreak is not the 1st a respiratory illness to emerge from china saw is of course originated there 17

years ago it killed nearly $800.00 people globally at the time officials were criticized for not acting fast enough and failing to be honest about the scale of the crisis but as adrian brown reports the approach to dealing with this crisis is different. china's leaders appear to have learned an important lesson from sars don't try to cover it up so this time honesty has been the strategy that's what president xi jinping has been demanding from his officials especially in the city you with a virus 1st emerged in late november and this time china does appear better prepared across the border in hong kong with 300 people died during the sars outbreak important lessons also appear to have been learned all arriving at poor passengers have the temperature's checked suspected virus sufferers are immediately quarantined those who refuse face jail and there's better protection for medical workers age of whom were killed by saddam's beyond those 17 years ago when you are

working in do those normal medical was surgical was no one red mosque today wearing a face mask is standard procedure but some things haven't changed. the market believed to be the source of the virus is now closed but the trade in wild animals goes on elsewhere in china at chinese new year 17 years ago when the sols epidemic was just starting to take its toll the mood was very subdued it is today and the question then as now is this how worried should i be china's failure to be open about the sars outbreak damaged its international reputation which is why the leadership hopes to convince the international community that in some precedented containment measures are working but some hong kong medical experts remain skeptical i don't think they have much improvement in this aspect personally i think even if it may even more window dressing them before baby because of the

political climate in mainland china analysts say president xi jinping is confronting a huge challenge at what is already a testing time for his leadership so people realize also that siege and pain is the top leader with power concentrated in this and and he basically has to be responsible for all its chief mond's and setbacks experts say this new disease may be harder to control for one important reason 17 years ago few chinese travelled overseas today they fly to destinations around the world adrian brown al-jazeera hong kong. is a senior scholar at johns hopkins university center for health security he says china has learned lessons from the sols outbreak in 2003. this is a big city in the outbreak zone with multiple different hospital in china is very different in 2003 than they were in 2020 so they are able to take a lot more than they could in sars and inhaled

a lot better however i think it's really important to know that we want to make sure that we're identifying all the cases and that those cases are being linked to treatment some of those cases may be very mild they may not even need to be admitted to the hospital. so there's a lot of open questions about how how they're going to deal with the number of patients that have mild illness and if those mild illness patients are going to be forcibly hospitalized what i think the danger is a lot is going to happen as more cases occur occur there are going to be much more panic there's going to be much more concern and that can cause people to make that bad decisions i think it's really important that we answer these unanswered questions yet about this outbreak we still don't have a full understanding of how transmission is occurring we know it's happening from person to person but we haven't seen sustained human to human transmission outside of family clusters and outside of the outside of health care setting so it's really interesting to phenomenon here that we've got this widespread we don't quite understand the epidemiology and we don't even really have a handle on the incubating period so there's many basic questions and need to be

answered and i think as those get answered this becomes an easier problem to solve but there's a lot of science and medicine that needs to be done and we need to be able to do that in the outbreak zone in order to actually bring this under control. white house lawyers defending donald trump at the senate impeachment trial saying the u.s. president has done nothing wrong that the dealings with ukraine the 1st time as they will pay must address the trial that will have 2 more days to x. is accused of abuse of power and destruction of congress reports from washington d.c. . the opening argument of president trump's attorneys saturday focused on 2 main points that trump did nothing wrong when he asked ukraine to investigate former vice president joe biden a potential rival in the upcoming u.s. elections and that it's the democrats who wish to steal back the white house by

hurting from the politically they're asking you to remove president trump from the ballot in an election that's occurring in approximately 9 months they're asking you to tear up all of the ballots across this country on your own initiative. take that decision away from the american people. polling this week shows trump's approval rating is the highest it's been since he took office 44 percent of americans say he's doing a good job higher than when the ukraine allegations 1st surfaced and most instances when there had been political crises of course the president's popularity is a numbers go down in this case i think the president will actually be strengthened by this and specially after his acquittal acquittal is likely given most members of the senate jury are republicans and it takes a 2 thirds majority to convict yet potential new evidence against trump continues

to emerge parness an indicted ukrainian american businessman says he shared this audio recording with investigators they were a little over a year after that all of them were. to go out ok that's the way it appears to be trump's voice ordering the firing of the u.s. ambassador to kiev democrats say corrupt ukrainian officials had wanted her gone those same officials then began smearing biden if you really want the truth you want witnesses you want documents we hope our republican colleagues will agree with that democrats hope to convince at least 4 republican senators to agree to open the trial to new witnesses including some of president trump's closest advisers who have not yet testified the senate is expected to vote on that question next week if their answer is no then president trump could be acquitted within days time castro

al-jazeera washington. claire finkelstein is the faculty director of the center for ethics and the rule of law at the university of pennsylvania she joins us now on skype from philadelphia thank you for your time what do you observations of the defense presentation so far have you seen anything like this before. we really haven't what's interesting is that it's really a kind of he said she said because we have the defense arguing that there was no quid pro quo despite the detailed factual case laid out by the democrats and the house managers giving evidence that there was a quid pro quo to some extent they were appealing to burden of proof so when they played clips of a master song in saying that it was his supposition it was his conjecture that the president was getting out of quid pro quo they tried to undermine the case that the

democrats have made and suggest that the standard of proof though a standard of proof here is not very clear it's not the way it is in a court but that the standard of proof had not been met is there any sort of fact checking that has to go on who can speak is ready to say whatever they like in this way it's very different from a regular court what you don't hear in this proceeding this is not part of the proceedings is the other side objecting to the introduction of evidence or the arguments that are being made so pretty much either side can say whatever they want now there is fact checking that's going on by news organizations but that doesn't enter into the proceedings so it is the case that either side can can pretty much say whatever they want and it's up to the our audience of $100.00 senators to decide how they're going to receive that information mitt romney has

indicated he'll likely be in favor of voting for witnesses the f.m. foggo through 4 witnesses to be heard what happens then ken can anyone take the floor how does that work. that will be very complicated it'll probably be an up or down vote on witnesses in general and then separate votes on particular witnesses john bolton has indicated that he will testify if subpoenaed and so one would expect that if a majority of the senators is in favor of witnesses they will have to issue subpoenas but the president has already indicated that he would oppose using executive his executive authority and the concept of testimonial immunity but members of his administration or former members of his of ministration testifying and that he would try to block their testimony so we could be in for a pitched battle between the executive branch and the senate if in fact such

subpoenas are issued so the defense will get back to it again on monday how do you see their next 2 days going. well there's going to be more presentation from the defense today they addressed the 1st article of impeachment having to do with the quid pro quo abuse of office and the. allegation that there was a quid pro quo with ukraine. and then there will they will have to address the 2nd article of impeachment which was obstruction of congress and after the defense has made its arguments there will presumably be the issue of witnesses and documents and the senate will take a vote if in fact there are not the 4 senators needed to vote in favor of witnesses and documents i think they'll move to a conclusion quite quickly it could be a complete game changer if in fact they do vote in favor of witnesses because then

as i say there may be a battle with the executive branch and if the witnesses come in that could have a significant impact on the outcome thank you for that that's claire stein faculty director of the center for ethics and the rule of law at the university of pennsylvania. thanks for having me. but more ahead on the news hour including. a celebration for some a source of shame for omelettes when live from sydney to explain what's dividing us straight into society. and where in the gambia with victims of abuse under the former regime a stairway to justice. and sports one of tennis's most controversial players to stop the match with the world number one at the strand you know.

5 more protesters have been killed in iraq security forces crackdown on anti-government demonstrations one person has died in the capital and 4 and a city police in baghdad moved into the streets surrounding tourist square after a large group left camps in an area of the capital that been occupying since october some of those leaving that area supporters of populist cleric other who withdrew his support for the protests there as a man can reports from baghdad. without warning the souther is packed up their tents and left 3 square the focal points of iraq's anti-government protest movement the book led by influential shia muslim cleric knocked out also that is the largest in parliament and it had been here in solidarity with the protesters since it began in october for some left behind the departure is nothing less than a betrayal going to let the buffer to what. it seems our demonstration has been stolen from as they could attack us at any moment we are careful but we will either

die or keep the square i won't leave until my demands are met but no i'm disappointed father potatoes with his followers. this other is how political power and they offered the protest movement political influence and physical protection that may now have gone. this other say they are disappointed with the reaction of some of the protesters to a rally by tens of thousands of iraqis they organized in baghdad on friday demanding the withdrawal of u.s. troops from the country they say although they support the protests they can no longer be a part of them the souther a supposed the presence of u.s. forces in iraq some of the protesters are worried that the southern wrist might hijack the movement to advance their own anti u.s. agenda it's a division the souther is fair could lead to conflict until no hint of the so the once the protests of just continue because we want. to come to the end

that a new independent government will come in order to roll the county till the till we have a new elections with the new new decision. so but if a kind of a clash is a staunch it inside the sequence it will hum too much so we don't like to be a part of this clash is. the news that has moved his supporters out of the square is concerning to many who remain inside is this the beginning of the end of the protest movement that's the question on the lips of many of the protesters now they are already very angry because they've had to temper their demands at the beginning of the protest movement in october they wanted a complete overhaul of the political system that actually now tempered that saying they want a new prime minister who can kohl elections and even that hasn't happened. in talk

risk where it seems the future of the protest movement is now at stake in one corner of his era baghdad. fossella stovall the is director of the center for the study of the middle east at indiana university and a former iraqi ambassador to the u.n. he says it's likely mark thought also that a withdrew his support and frustration. it was unable to co-opt the top 3 of what i call the tahir demonstrators although that's a misnomer because they're not only in baghdad but there throughout iraq southern cities including cared about and not just basra and nasiriyah and other places but i think he was frustrated that he was unable to co-opt them that they could not join him in what he had called for which was a 1000000 person march which largely because of the i mean there were some tens of thousands on the streets but nothing like a 1000000 people demanding the withdrawal of the u.s. and i think that he was also understands that there has the iraqi government

has come under pressure from some of the approach or on the in militias and from iran itself to bring an end to these demonstrations and so he's told his demonstrators he was never a leader of these protests and any of them does have that influence and his parliamentary party certainly has influence and perhaps the largest bloc although. you know well well short of a of a of a majority but it is the largest bloc and it will have a voice in who the next prime minister is of course we're in a sense in a constitutional crisis in iraq now because the should have been. a prime minister named more than 30 days ago and the president still has not been able to name a prime minister he has refused the one candidate that was formally put to him by parliament and so that will have his say whether that individual will

be acceptable to the demonstrators remains to be seen. rescuers in southeast turkey are searching for survivors from friday's earthquake which killed $31.00 people and injured more than a 1000 this 5 year old girl and her mother are among the likeness to be pulled alive from the rubble of collapsed buildings it's fair the number of dead will rise the 6.8 magnitude quake was centered near the town of severe to sit in course she'll lewis in the nearby city of it and has this report. this man is happy and relieved as his relative is pulled out alive from the struggle she had been stuck under the rock and debra's of a collapsed building for nearly 20 hours after a magnitude $6.00 earthquake hit to accuse is some province of. it is my mother the son rushes back through the rubble there are still 4 more people stuck down there. there have been more than 400 aftershocks in the region hundreds of

emergency teams and security forces have been mobilized to provide aid and assistance. and the onlookers some of them are all mecurio while others hope to hear from loved ones and. i think old buildings have to be replaced by new ones we need to tell each crushes risk areas have been working here looking for and survivors buildings that have collapsed like this one were either badly constructed or older that damaged would have probably a history of earthquakes meant to say turkey used to do more now to ensure building safety tricky is among the world's most suspect reactive countries and sits on several active full lines dozens of minor earthquakes and aftershocks up here nearly every day. quakes themselves don't kill. would like going to happen but it's the engineers and construct a duty to build compatible buildings for now on the 5 buildings have collapsed but

there is no record of the damaged buildings in eleazer yet that's why many people are afraid to go inside their homes and given the freezing temperatures it will be difficult to seek shelter in sports or other large places because although el to syria and turkey. nearly 10000 earthquakes are recorded every year in tokyo which lies over several fault lines of the activity comes from the north anatolian fault running more than 1600 kilometers from eastern turkey to greece one of the most active in the world the last major earthquakes were both in $999.00 in the mama region within a 3 month period $18000.00 people were killed and a quarter of a 1000000 lost their homes and the biggest worry now is if a strong earthquake hits near istanbul a city of some 20000000 people experts agree one is coming i can't say how soon but he said lebanon would have fought with protesters who tried to storm the

government headquarters in the capital security forces used tear gas and water cannon to push back the demonstrations saturday more 100 days since the protests began people are demanding an end to corruption among the government to tackle the economic crisis a new cabinet was announced on tuesday the protesters have rejected it then a heart has more from outside the government headquarters she says protesters are determined to continue their fight. another night of unrest anti-establishment protesters that at this time tried to storm a government palace over recent days they tried to storm a parliament building they managed to briefly breach the security behind us they moved a metal fence and now as you can see security forces are trying to tighten security to reinforce security around government how those people are and a few 100 protesters were involved in the confrontation security forces that were

very careful this time around they did not use rubber bullets they have been criticized by international human rights groups for using excessive force for firing rubber bullets at close range but this time around they did use excessive amounts of tear gas as well as water cannon so they managed to disperse the protesters quite quickly in fact they deployed hundreds of anti-riot police and the lebanese army you can really see and feel the change in tactics as this new administration seems more militarized let me just show you what they've done around the parliament square they have set up the concrete a place concrete slabs a barbed wire a closing really every road leading to parliament square in a really a message of defiance we are staying in power but this is angry and this is causing a lot of anger a lot of protesters say you cannot hide behind those walls we will continue our

struggle still ahead on al-jazeera out why a church sculpture and eastern germany is at the center of an anti semitism round. and in sports a famous face witnesses a memorable moment an austrian scheme history. hello there some very heavy amounts of rain across southern and central areas of china this is a satellite of the last few hours some very heavy amounts of rain coming in with that very very bright white cloud look at this we could well have some localized flooding is moving fairly swiftly but as i say some very heavy amounts of course beginning to push cross taiwan and eventually pushing across into the islands and then as we go on into monday it will work its way said the east was pushing into southern sections of the korean peninsula and on into more western areas of honshu

not particularly cold one celsius in tokyo with a chance the few showers add to that all the coals and it's mostly clear that struggling a whole ring around freezing but once the rain clay is away from china we've got cloudy skies 9 celsius in shanghai but really quite a bit cooler in hong kong with a high of 17 celsius on monday widespread. much of indonesia some pretty heavy thunderstorms at times into most central areas of borneo then widespread really elsewhere 3 months of and also down into java again here we could have some localized flooding but it's a very quiet picture throughout much of india we've had some showers into the last couple of days mostly dry those ago through sunday and temperatures on the increase finally in new delhi so by monday a high of 20 degrees. healthy environment depends on

a healthy insect population but across the wild. countless creatures are declining as a result of human activity. people in power investigates the extent of the crisis and asks what can be done. to get in on al-jazeera. one of the really special things about working proud is here is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much input in contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else working for it is you know it's very. liberally particularly because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues. with the people we live to tell the real stories are just mended is to deliver in-depth journalism we don't feel inferior to the audience across the globe. why.

the. you're watching al-jazeera reminder about top stories this hour china's president xi jinping says the outbreak of the new coronavirus is becoming brave 13 more people have died bringing the death toll to $54.00 hong kong has declared an emergency and dozens of infections have been reported across the world. white house lawyers defending donald trump at the senate impeachment trial say the u.s. president has done nothing wrong in his dealings with ukraine they accused democrats of using the trial to interfere in this year's presidential election. security forces in lebanon used water cannon and tear gas to stop protesters who tried to storm government headquarters in the capital saturday marks 100 days since

demonstrations began they want an overhaul of the political system and an end to corruption. fighting has flared up again in libya despite a surge of diplomatic activity international conferences were held in berlin and algiers last week to end the conflict but rockets have now been fired in the capital the internationally recognized government blames forces loyal to warlord who for half the. head has more from tripoli. one moroccan man was killed by a random rocket landed in the vicinity of m 80 get airport the only operation an airport in the libyan capital tripoli the only witness the government says that half the us forces landed the attack the tripoli based health ministry meanwhile says that civil other civilians were injured by random rockets that landed in densely populated areas and will launch it by after forces many of these rockets launched by half the schools and landed in neighborhoods

a densely populated area in the city center other rockets landed in our other neighborhood near the city center now the tripoli based government is accusing hafter the forces of committing war crimes by targeting these residential areas it also says that these attacks are violations of the truce or the peace talks and the cease fire accord that was proposed by both turkey and russia it also says that these violations by half their forces are dealing deal a link the peace talks that are the youth to be held in february engineer for now the latest report by the united nations secretary general until you get turkish revealed that nearly $300.00 civilians were killed since the beginning of the military offensive long should by have their forces to take control of the capital tripoli back in april and nearly 400 civilians were wanted now the same report also

revealed that about 140000 people left their homes because of the fighting. libya's national oil company says it's lost more than $250000000.00 in oil revenue in under a week that's after many of its major facilities was seized forces loyal to have took control of several coastal export terminals and southern oil fields earlier this month that calls production to fall by more than 70 percent. well the french newspaper le monde is reporting new claims of saudi and russian influence in the libyan civil war in december officials from the un recognized government accused moscow of deploying russian mercenaries to fight alongside warlord who. according to limone did these mercenaries work for a private russian security firm by the name of wagner group and according to the newspaper's sources the firm has received funding from saudi arabia the mom says wagner group employs between 302000 people was created at the beginning of the

ukrainian conflict in 2014 and has also reportedly sent mystery feiss to syria sudan and central africa which i some panic is a nonresident fellow at the middle east institute and the founder of the consultancy libya analysis he says the report is consistent with russian policy. there's every reason to believe that the story in the moment is is accurate it follows in a chain of such stories and the russians are willing to use whatever leavers they have so they use some diplomatic lever's they give drones when that gives them influence they've used training to help us forces before and this use over the past 9 months of mercenaries is only a continuation of the reconnaissance and training that they had given previously i think the wrinkle in the long story that's worth pointing out to your viewers is the question of saudi payment because we've known about both 300 or

a 1000 but the idea that there are multiple huffed are backers working together and even ones that don't traditionally coordinate like the saudis and immoralities coordinate about libya matters all the time but the idea that saudi and russia are coordinating in such a direct manner that's a very interesting wrinkle to look at how their influence in the conflict protests are being held in australia calling for the national day to be changed all scrapped altogether. the so-called invasion day of an commemorating indigenous people who died in conflict with white settlers as well as others have recently died in police custody australia day officially marks the arrival of the 1st things have calmed that ships from britain in 17 and yet. well desirous advertisements runs us now live from sydney and.

buses i cam australia day january the 26 has been full some decades a day but australians are supposed to celebrate that makes them but increasingly there are voices calling for it to be changed all scrapped because as you say it commemorates that day back in 79 when british white settlers arrived and the indigenous people of australia see that not a sort of right but as a day to commemorate as the invasion here with me right now some aka acts from the aboriginal heritage all face now explain why we've got so many people on this grows every year thousands perhaps tens of thousands of people here and in other cities across australia protesting australia like. many indigenous australians as well this is strains feel that. a strike a day doesn't really represent those people. as you know. this did come on today on the 26th and thus mocks the struggle of indigenous australia and many many many thousands of people have died since that day coaches

most of our indigenous culture has been lost and there is a strong push now to get that culture back and as you can see there's so many people here indigenous and non-indigenous a lot of celebrating our culture and you know this means a lot to us having. brothers and sisters across australia celebrating today together a strain is governments which doesn't want the day change says that this can be a day of remembrance and celebration that of cool bad things that happens when dismiss people in australia since 788 but all of that can be remembered and the birth of the nation is what's important on january the 26 if you will that they scrapped will change so maybe i think you know the news that the. where all the strength and celebrate today probably not the best way to do it and a lot of people don't realize that if we do change the day we get to public

holidays to the price of one so why wouldn't be. so much ice axe thanks very much for all these sorts of events happening in cities right across australia we've heard so much about the horrific weather that's been the bushfires in this country well this day sunday 26 is actually beautiful weather in sydney and melbourne and it's expected that the numbers this year will be higher than they have been in previous years and the 10s of thousands of people this time last year protesting this day came so if as expected we have numbers in the 10s of thousands here that will mark yet more people calling for this controversial day australia day to be scrapped it should be said that there are if you like country events going on right across australia to celebrate australia day as per normal but the balance if you like the move towards commemorating this day calling it invasion day rather than australia day well that is shifting in these people's favor the protest is up again in some cities to outnumber those celebrating thank you that andrew thomas there.

flooding and landslides in southeast brazil have killed at least 30 people 2 days of torrential rain and bellow on his own chair the capital of mel scratch state have left 17 people missing and more than 2 and a half 1000 others and now homeless more rain is expected in the region as well listen other parts of brazil. a memorial has been held them up one year since brazil's worst industrial disaster 270 people were killed when a dam collapsed sending a tide of talks of waste into the city of roma denio and as a report search volunteers a still looking for the bodies that were never recovered and. emotions are growing home improvement the new president. demonstrators are marking the 1st anniversary of the 2990. a tragedy that claimed the lives of 270 people didn't see the one about sun on the 25th of january last

year it happened here. but this could have happened anywhere there were several dams at risk in the region this is the type of mining that should not exist anymore . some have arrived in through material to pay their respects to the victims some have come to demonstrate against bali the mining company that managed the collapsed dam. and. are here in search of closure. each of them lost a sister when the dam collapsed and like other victims however their bodies were never found. dam says just as hard as we count the hours in the minutes waiting for the phone call to say they found a body this is very sad but the saddest part is not being able to give our sisters a proper funeral. firefighters from the city of bellotti zones see the collapse of the dam was so violent that people caught in the path of the mud flow were torn apart. to them in the. volume of the mud flow was very dense all the

volume broke apart houses and cars people who were hit directly were not found with the bodies in one piece and in many cases we found only body parts have many cases of people found this way though it's so. over the past 12 months search volunteers have scoured more than 30 kilometers of mudflows while a majority of the victims of the disaster have been identified there are still 11 bodies missing according to the below the zone chief fire department 95 percent of the disaster area has been searched but that only includes digging 3 meters into the ground there are sections of the mud still where the debris is deep a 17 meters. authorities from the state of maine as you guys have vowed to continue searching until the bodies of all the victims are recovered. perhaps then can the community of the new finally close a painful chapter of what is regarded as the worst mining disaster in brazilian

history. the new brazil. a new documentary from the gambier is exposing cases of alleged torture and murder by the government of form of the day. the film documents dissidents testimony and the victims' families say they're still waiting for justice. reports from neighboring. i cannot bury my father is a documentary about a young man whose father was executed during former gambian president 22 year rule without the body he's unable to give his father a proper funeral it was erected by another who also lost her father hundreds of bodies are believed to be buried in mass graves yet to be discovered the gambia has put in place a truth and reconciliation commission only 3 people were prosecuted all of those who admitted to torture rape and murder have so far been set free much the surprise of the victims has been made to feel on reasonable when they're asking for justice
