water borne diseases has found his take shelter in schools moment 0 has more from cynthia. the situation is really desperate for the displaced in one of the primary schools in the heart of the town of seeing. a very cross in the school is packed with up to 20 families they ease congestion food deliveries yes come but again some say they do not and now if during the day. they are also concerned that they have nowhere to go back to because their homes have either been damaged very much by the floods or totally destroyed so it will take them a while to go back and piece their lives together but right now the non-governmental organizations that are caring for the displaced people in the city not a state which seemed is that you straight it was is there up to thought to 1000

people displaced and affected by the floods in just this state alone so you can understand the magnitude of the problem but the main concern of the agencies right now the residents of up to 18 villages that have been told to limit room down cut off from the rest of the state by the floods they have tried to have a quite some people but many of the people from these villages are not willing to leave their herds and their crops that are still under water behind and they are concerned for those people mostly. now u.n. investigators are warning of rampant human rights abuses in burundi despite a change in government that they say security forces and the ruling party's youth wing have almost total impunity the kidnappings that beijing's and sexual violence they have highlighted abuses linked to the presidential election back in may which every one and they say he's promoted a high ranking military officer is involved in post violence the u.n.

panel was set up after the former president here in currencies and decided to run for a 3rd term back in 2015 hundreds of people have been killed and 400000 others displaced in months of violence well this report comes just days after a local group that's also looking into historic violence opened 8 graves in the south of burundi the president of the truth and reconciliation commission said it would question several regional leaders there and 1972 massacre witnesses say the victims were shot dead by security forces and i spoke to francois have since she's a member of that u.n. commission of inquiry on burundi she's monitoring the situation from the u.k. often being denied entry to burundi. we had a hope that with the elections that would offer an opportunity to burundi to change direction and you went with a change of direction you don't have to take any position on what has just passed

but an election gives you a turning point transition and then we've been disappointed there were fine words from the incoming president on the need to reconcile the population on the need to address impunity and he's opened up for example access to the world health organization but to date once he's willing to talk to others we haven't seen any change in the behavior and what is somewhat surprising is some of the changes are very easy to make and don't cost anything to stop carrying out torture what we need to do is to stop doing it similarly to release prisoners who shouldn't have been detained in the 1st place that easy and yet even those simple things have been done and what is really striking is that he has appointed 2 high positions in his cabinet 3 people who are under sanction from the e.u. and or the u.s.

for their alleged participation in human rights violations since 2015 it's a strange act for someone who's keen on reconciliation to put 3 alleged senior violators in his government saudi arabia's energy minister has condemned that opec members for cheating on that well production quotas the criticism was made during a conference call of member states the international energy agency says the united arab emirates why don't disregard of commitments to cutting its quota last month abu dhabi now says it will compensate for over production in october and november the saudis have led to the drive to cut production to try to burst crane prices as the krajina virus pandemic kettles demand. controversial remarks by kerik in pakistan have provoked protesters to demand his arrest for blasphemy come on high reports from the capital islamabad. david of thousands of people protesting in the federal capital islamabad as you can see how good of people have been coming in
