on al-jazeera revealing eco friendly solutions to combat threats to our planet on al jazeera 0 hello there, i missed. and this is the news hour live from our headquarters here and coming up in the next 60 minutes, stepping down in protest more than a dozen. pro-democracy legislators in hong kong resigned after 4 of their colleagues were disqualified. us president on trump makes his 1st public appearance in days as his team tries to fight the results of the election. and control of the u.s. senate now depends on who wins to run off races in georgia and january. also ahead

talks on ending election violence in ivory coast underway as president alassane ouattara meets his main rival in armenia over a deal with azerbaijan, to end the fighting in a going to power about the prime minister says it was about preserving what's left . i don't pee, just improve the sport with less than a day. the delayed, most is goals tournament. tiger woods is on the pro, as he looks to defend his green jacket. we'll hear from him later this hour. now the vast majority of hong kong's opposition politicians have now resigned after beijing passed a resolution disqualifying 4 of their fellow legislators. the government accuses them of being a threat to national security. but critics say that china is stepping up its

efforts to silence dissent. devika pollin reports from hong kong. they say the fight is far from over. their resignations are a show of solidarity. we cannot simply afford to stay on because minus our full colleagues who are ousted the union of the 15 of us simply don't have the minimum number to a protest also from being unseated, eventually one by one, but by the type, the group resignation came after china's highest decision making body disqualified for pro-democracy legislators. the reasons include seeking foreign interference in hong kong's affairs, promoting independence, threatening national security, and refusing to acknowledge beijing sovereignty over the territory. while hope to

god, every lawmaker must show that there was a possibility of supporting the basic law of hong kong and be loyal to china. so that we are able to have a political system dominated by patriotic the 4 pro-democracy legislative councillors who at a meeting when the national people standing committee handed down the resolution, they were disqualified within minutes of the announcement. the row ahead will be pumping difficult and challenging. and in fact, just like every winter, it will be extremely difficult. but i am in full face of hong kong or hong kong hours. outside the government headquarters, some celebrated the news. politicians often use their power to manipulate and discard the general public to go against our country. it's clear now that betrayal will no longer be tolerated. hong kong operates under china's one

country 2 systems model, which is meant to guarantee the city's government has given the high degree of autonomy. its legislature was a symbol of that divided between legislators pushing for closer ties with beijing and those fighting for democracy. this will be the 1st time hong kong's legislative council will have no pro-democracy representation. since the former british colony returned to china in 1997, half of the city's 70 member legislature is directly elected by the public with the other half chosen by industry groups. the departure of the democratic politicians close is one of the main avenues for all position voices in the hong kong government. did we go, paul? an al-jazeera hong kong. now u.s. president elect joe biden says donald trump's refusal to concede to the election is an embarrassment. he laid a wreath at a veterans day event in philadelphia,

and he is planning on meeting with advisors on wednesday to further prepare for a transition into office. meanwhile, the trumpet ministration is filing lawsuits to contest results and battleground states and is refusing to provide access to biden's team. judges have so far tossed out their cases in michigan and in georgia. and donald trump has made his 1st public appearance since losing his bid for re-election. he was in arlington, virginia, also at a veterans day ceremony. and trump has not spoken publicly since he lost his bid. while our correspondent john hendren is standing by for us in wilmington, delaware, biden's home state, but 1st, let's go to our white house correspondent can be held in washington d.c. . can we were here from the president at the cemetery. can you talk us through where his legal challenges now stand? that's right. the u.s. president did not speak at arlington national cemetery as he later read for the end on soldier there for veteran's day, which is

a national holiday here in the united states. he also didn't speak when he returned to the white house, which is something that he often does with the press. but we have heard from donald trump's presidential campaign, and in the last hour they have been speaking at the spokespersons telling al-jazeera and other reporters who join for that call that they feel very positive about some developments that have taken place in the u.s. state of georgia. namely that, given that it's a tight race, there it is now been announced that the ballots will be recounted by hand. tim murtaugh, who spoke on behalf of the campaign, said that they see this as an important 1st step. and also noted that even as the media has called joe biden as the projected winner and calls him the president elect. the reality is that none of these votes of yet been certified. now we should also point out though that the results have been certified for double trouble either. so while this is again, we recognize is an important 1st step. there are still

a number of legal challenges across a handful or even more than half a dozen states. that in some cases have been tossed out still the campaign is pressing on. and again, as there is burden of proof is on the campaign to show that there's been widespread voter fraud and voting irregularities. what they have put forward are a number of obituaries from voters that cast their ballots in 2020, even though some of them had been dead as far back as 20032006. so the campaign speaking, but right now, the u.s. president maintaining his silence and white house correspondent candy. how can they force, thanks so much committee. when it's now cross over to wilmington, delaware, and speak, john hendren. john, despite not operating from washington d.c. as you point out, any of biden is very much like a president elect. that's right, he's very much taken up the mantle of the presidency, despite the fact that the current president doesn't acknowledge that biden has been

elected. so you had a couple hours ago, this spritz the split screen moment of dueling presidents. donald trump laying a wreath at arlington. joe biden laying a wreath in philadelphia, and biden is going ahead with planning for the presidency. he's planning a cabinet and there's a lot of speculation about who might be in that, but he says he's going to pick people that look like america, but there will be gender and ethnic diversity. so he's considering people like susan rice, the former u.n. ambassador as the secretary of state, people like pete booted judge, perhaps for veteran affairs. tammy duckworth would be the 1st time i merican if she were named as the defense secretary, that's apparently one of many considerations that biden is looking at. we don't know who he's going to nominate in the end, but he's actively picking people right now and he's talking to foreign leaders about climate change and other things. and he has been taking calls from the, leaders of the u.k., germany, france, ireland, and chalking to them not just about the election,

but about substantive policy, including things that they can do together working on climate change among other things. meanwhile, you have a president who recently one acknowledged that that is the case making those challenges in other states we just to give you an idea of how small the chances are of this election being turned over. they've been about $31.00 statewide recounts since the 2000 election on average, the number of votes changed in each case was about $400.00 plus. so if you take wisconsin, for instance in 2016, there was a recount of that. and it was the green party candidate who asked for it in the end, donald trump one an extra $131.00 votes. so joe biden is going ahead and planning his presidency despite the fact that donald trump doesn't acknowledge the he is the next president, john hendren there for us in biden's home state of delaware. thanks so much john. well, as can be mentioned earlier, the u.s. state of georgia has announced it will be recounting all votes there by hand,

which was demanded by the campaign. now, while joe biden has secured the winning margin without georgia, he is leading there by just over $14000.00 votes. now georgia's secretary of state says the recount will begin at the end of the week. the good margin story and said $13100.00 number then, between the president and senator biden, vice president biden continue to investigate each and every instance of illegal voting. the building that we're building, the other story, if you please, that we will investigate it. every vote will count. so we'll be counting every single piece of paper every single ballot, every single, lawfully legal ballot. well, the reason why georgia has also attracted unprecedented attention is also because of 2 senate runoff races that in january,

and they will determine control of the up a chamber. now with a win confirmed in alaska, the republicans are currently a short of 50 seats. the democrats $48.00, now if they win both of those races in georgia, the democrats will effectively gain the majority because the vice president cost the deciding vote in a tie while we can now speak to bill schneider, he is a policy analyst and a public policy professor at george mason university, he joins us now from washington. d.c. bill, thanks for being with us. again here on al-jazeera, i do want to ask you about those senate races. and i'm just starting with this recount in georgia biden. up by over 14000 votes. is a recount likely to change the outcome of the race that you know, it's not these. there's never been a recount. that's determined. been changed to that extent. it's really, i know, but there are 2 recounts in georgia, 2 republican senators,

neither one of them got the you presented to vote, and so therefore it by georgia law. this is a unique situation. the votes do get good, the voting does go to a runoff. crimea removal action in january, so that's what we're waiting for. although both of the republicans and the georgia senate races have now publicly criticized the secretary of state who runs the election. and he also happens to be a republican and that they're calling for his resignation. is this reflective of the party turning against itself? well, there is a debate within the party, although most of the leading republicans or so are in a line with president trump in saying that they think there is something fishy in the vote. and they want a recount. keep one thing in mind which a lot of people don't understand. georgia is having a hand recount a hand recount the truth is, people make more mistakes than machines do. and a hand recount is generally less reliable than

a machine recount. after the hand recount there would be a machine recount. it's unlikely to change the result. though you mentioned prominent republicans, we've also seen senate republican leader mitch mcconnell come out in support of present times. refusing to concede, is this positive the strategy to try to mobilize voters in january and could that potentially backfire? well, it is. so if it to mobilize the voters turned out in january is likely to be far less than it was this month in the general election. georgia will be facing 2 senate runoff. now that, that election is not a presidential election. so there's always less interest and democrats may pour money into ga, ga, trying to get their turnout up, which is going to be a difficult time to defeat 2 incumbent republican senators. although i remind you that one of them kelly lefler was never elected. she was appointed in january to, to succeed another senator, so she doesn't have the grassroots support that per david perdue as in the other

senate race. well, speaking of grassroots support, i mean, this is the fast time that georgia has voted base. it's 1902, i believe, extensive, and many people there say the painting demographic. but there was also a huge get out the voters, if you think democrats could potentially continue that trend in january it's going to be difficult because very few places vote in january the election is over. so it's going to be hard to get people out to vote when they think it's all ended now . and what could change that is money. huge amounts of money from democrats all over the country. and the republicans could turn out a very heavy vote. generally speaking, georgia has always been a recent years, has been a republican voting state. so it probably would be easy. it will be easier to get republicans out to book for the republican senate candidates than the democratic. the democrats have to go to their candidate, but both parties are going to be pouring money into georgia because if the democrats pick up these 2 seats, it will be a $5050.00 split in the senate with joe biden as president and come on harris as vice president then she will cast the deciding vote and the senate will be

controlled by democrats if it's 5050. well, let me ask you, then about the on 70 of that we're sitting in our correspondent john miss. just telling us that about how biden wants to divest cabinet that reflects america. but surely that's also dependent on who he can actually get confounded that depends on who wins in january. so how would you try to prepare? now, if you would say by you know, i find the most qualified people in consult with mitch mcconnell, who he knows well me, joe biden was in the senate for decades about who stands a good chance of being confirmed. that's important because the, every appointee has to be confirmed by the senate, i think, biden and mcconnell in the majority, he won't, he was the majority leader. he may still be the majority leader. they have got to discuss the confirmation process. and mcconnell, in a sense, could have a veto over binds choices because he is likely at this point to control the

majority of the senate will be watching those races. and john are very close band-aid here on out to their side of that public policy professor at george mason university. always great to have you out there. thanks, bill. my pleasure. oh, all of this is happening as record numbers of people are in the hospital in the u.s. with the current virus as the number of new cases that continues to soar. almost 62000 people are currently hospitalized with carbon 19 and a 1000000 people have been infected in the united states just in the last 10 days. there is plenty more ahead on this news out, including more on the military operation in northern ethiopia, that's forced thousands to flee to neighboring sudan, and the needs in the south african community. what he's been investigating in his best style scandal that's made thousands of people and often nearly a year is delayed because of the krajina virus qualifying is back underway for the african cup of nations.

protest is gathered in armenia's capital to voice their anger about a deal to end fighting with azerbaijan and nagorno-karabakh. they opposed to that agreement which sees land 100 over to a very forces police have detained around 20 people at a protest in yerevan. now nagorno-karabakh is internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan, but it is controlled by armenians. hundreds have been killed in the fighting there since september. well, i mean, his prime minister has defended his decision to halt the fighting in the car back saying it prevented other areas in that disputed region from being seized without the woman a myth. this is not about transfer, but about preservation because the document was signed in a situation. when shusha felt, in fact, there was such a situation worse to panic or it was left defenseless. if hostilities continued

there was a very high probability that's the pen occurred. martini ask iran would have been captured after which or other defensive areas as well as our soldiers would be under a blockade. when our correspondent, how do people who need is in a van and she says on minions, they're focusing their anger on the prime minister. well, the main slogan coming out of here is that nicole question, who is the prime minister of armenia is a traitor. and now you have a couple, couple of 1000 people here in freedom square. you know, these are people who are infuriated with the cease fire agreement by and large, it has been quite peaceful. there have been some scuffles here and there we are told at least 20 people have had been detained at the beginning of this rally. and also one of the armenians largest opposition parties say that their leader is at the moment being questioned at the national security. now you have police on

this side that the moment they're standing there watching. they have been reminding people through a microphone that this still a martial law in this country and you're not allowed to protest, but these people are ignoring it now as opposed to a few of them. they say that legal question and reason have the right to decide that agreement without consulting duties with the people because they said that that is not democracy. and that basically he sold out and gave away their land as well, including those 7 regions that are considered the occupied viremia since 1904 people here say that is not the case. they say that they, the people that live there instapundit, carry it in, other parts of nagorno-karabakh won't be returning there because of what he called accepted. well, alexandra, god is in moscow and she says deploying russian peacekeeping troops was also part of this agreement. as soon as this agreement was signed,

the russian soldiers started boarding planes that took them to or 1st armenia and then all that it will not go to look at a box. the official information is that so far, $27.00 planes have landed, carrying around $400.00 soldiers, 8 helicopters and armored vehicles. the idea of the disagreement is that they are, she should be deployed on the conflict line on in the garden as well as on the court. a daughter locked in, this is the role that basically connects armenia to and i'm going to put a buck in according to russians. they're all to the they're that russian officials say they all these men have experience in syria. they are armed according to disagreement, and they are to stay at least 5 years after which, if both sides agree, then they are to leave. now, what is going on with this? this agreement that has been signed is that russia manages to keep its influence in

this era in this era, your area with both renia and they're saying that there's going to be only a russian patrols that the only thing that they will have with their key with which they obviously are coordinating all these efforts is going to be the monitoring center on that. there are 3 of as a debate. john ivory coast president alassane ouattara is meeting his main election rival hoping to defuse tension there after a disputed voters went on. i was declared the winner last month to set a controversial 3rd term sparking violence that killed dozens of people. many in the opposition boycotted that election, which they say is in breach of a 210 minute med interest is in on, in the ivory coast. amid was this meeting meant to be an olive branch of sorts and does that mean that the opposition has decided to come to the table? well, i saw you have a whole meeting lasted less than an hour last it was what award arrived and then

later our economy, big day, one of the 2 candidates who courted the election, arrived late. remember that when he couldn't quite a bit, here was the president in this country before. and so that when they went into the meeting, after 45 minutes or so, both of them came out of the meeting and addressing the media. they said the groundwork for negotiations and consultations has now been laid. the next few days will determine whether or not an agreement will be reached between the 2 sides. however, this meeting started with 2 key opposition figures. one of them being guess i'll let the boy court as long as the called for a company for civil disobedience and then took years also if not attending the meeting is wanted to use on the run while i think your son actually is in detention right now. one interesting thing, however, before we, before the start of this meeting was one who were driving to the venue of the

meeting between i want to and mr. brady, if we realize that the security forces that have leads teach to mr. b.d.'s home have now been removed, else will he said, party headquarters is now free of any security presence there. so it's difficult to say how these negotiations will continue in the next few days or few weeks as the leaders mentioned. but a lot of people are hopeful that the will achieve something $2.00 the tension across ivory coast. both of them said the priority now is not about who goes into government and who not. the priority will be maintaining peace in ivory coast. i'm up to 5 oreos will be happy to hear that i meant interest on the ground fast and i was on banks on mars. now the military operation in northern ethiopia is stretched threatening to spill over the country's borders, and they're also fears it could lead to a fat humanitarian crisis. ethiopian prime minister ahmed ordered that offensive in the tikrit region last week, accusing local forces that of attacking

a military base. and since then, hundreds have been killed and several 1000 people have fled to neighboring sudan. and our correspondent have a morgan is in khartoum for us. she says there are concerns that some of the ethiopian refugees crossing into sudan are actually fleeing fight is the bordering states of course, and already had camps that were housing or hosting refugees even prior to the conflict that had broken out in the tigre region in ethiopia, last week there were already hundreds of refugees there waiting to be processed, saying that they want to be moved to a 3rd country and they were receiving humanitarian aid. and they were already saying that the aid that they were receiving is not sufficient for them. now the sudanese government is saying that the number of refugees that are flowing are just too much for them to cope with. they say that more than 1000 have already crossed over and have been processed, but there are more than 6000 that are still waiting processing. they say that that's because 1st of all they're worried about the health precaution. this is, of course, happening during a pandemic,

the global coronavirus pandemic. and they're saying that they're concerned about those who could potentially be infected. they're also worried about how they would be able to cope with the number of refugees, especially the women and children who may be carrying diseases such as cholera. that's something that they say they're concerned about. the ministry of health is saying that it's taking all precautions to make sure that they have access to clean water and that there is some kind of dense the distance between the refugees. the other concern is who among the amongst those refugees are militants. and one of the who amongst them are civilians, they are have been reports from local authorities. that some of those people who have crossed over into sudan are waiting to be processed are militants who have surrendered their weapons and are waiting to be housed in camps. one of the horn of africa director at human rights watch and she says, thousands of people already and need of assistance before this fighting broke out right now it's incredibly difficult to get an accurate sense of or what the impact of some of the fighting could be. on the civilian population,

i think it's important to highlight that even at the best of times, this is a region where you have over half a 1000000, people who need assistance. you have some particularly vulnerable communities in the tickly region, notably the eritrean refugee population, who really are caught between a rock and a hard place right now and have over the last year already been facing a real shift in policy by the ethiopian government in terms of protection of the eritrean refugee communities. so we really are talking about a significant amount of people who need assistance. now the problem right now which the u.n. and many humanitarian organizations have been underlining, is that the government has, in many ways blockaded access. so we really, if that were to continue, we could be dealing with a significant humanitarian crisis. still ahead from here on out is there why the

japanese government wants to move away from the ancient tradition and use an instant's splashing out on singles day. the world's biggest sales event starts with a bang, with china's top retailer ali baba expected to take in billions and english champions and liverpool's injury problems. why certain people will explain that for you and me. but the season is changing in the middle east. now we've seen the weather rapidly deteriorating the levant and now its proper frontal systems, trucking across iraq into iran, some of the recent storms or showers. and right now the following final weather doesn't drop temperatures below where they should be. we still are talking 20 in jerusalem as an example about $25.00 in baghdad. now, most to saudi arabia,

most of the raven 8 years is fine, but you'll find these shows do edge science was and the wind picks up ahead of them at a probably affect bahrain, possibly even cata, later on friday or early on saturday, specific forecast for cattle just gives a small chance of showers on saturday is that wind really house down? they dies off again on sunday, so it's not persistent. this is a weapon of african a really and it's from more or less uganda always science was. we've seen some good rain recently in johannesburg as an example. there are showers forecast now. eastern side, far eastern side of south africa, malawi, zimbabwe, sure like that. but attention further south to get cape town with bit of a breeze off the interior got 30 degrees. guess what the average temperature should be in cape town's, tommy 23, c. a well above because it doesn't last it down to 19 just below average by saturday.

but since 2013 wish the world innovation summit to health has gathered, health care leaders, practitioners understand just together to learn, interact, and engage with innovative organizations they, she wish will take place. but chile, under the banner of one world, are on the register now wish dot org dot q a the u.s. is deeply divided. millions of americans feel disaffected and ignored by both political parties. and the political class is point scoring. the game is a dangerous game, but it's a game, it's the sick list for klein's examines the political currents ripping through american society in a description for a novel, the publisher would send it back and say it's too unbelievable. trump versus biden,

the race to the white house on a just, you know kind of again, i missed all of the attainder. let's remind you of our top stories here. the salah, more than a dozen pro-democracy legislators in hong kong, have resigned in solidarity after the government disqualified their colleagues. china has passed a patriotism resolution, allowing the removal of politicians who challenge its real president, trump has made his 1st public appearance since losing reelection at a veterans day event and other convention. he has not spoken publicly since his defeat, but has been tweeting about unproven voter fourteenth's and ivory coast. president

allison what tara is meeting with the head of the main opposition. they're hoping to diffuse tension after disputed elections, but tara was declared winner of the ultra vote to serve a controversial sparking violence that's killed dozens of people. now the un's nuclear watchdog says iran stockpile of enrich uranium is now more than 12 times the limit outlined in the nuclear deal. and also said tehran's explanation for the presence of nuclear material as an undeclared site was not credible. violations of the 2050 nuclear deal began off to the u.s. withdrew from the landmark agreement 2 years ago and began re imposing sanctions. when it speak to our correspondent us abed, who's in the capital, tehran said quite a lot of detail released from the i.a.e.a. today. can you talk us through what we've been hearing from? well, some of it is expected. some of it is will raise some alarm bells for some countries

now in terms of those 2 sites that the i.a.e.a. wanted access to. iran had initially blocked access to those sites. but the head of the i visited iran earlier this year. and iran granted access to these sites where it was alleged nuclear material with was either stored or used in early 2000, that samples were taken away. and the report says, those samples are still been analyzed. the i.a.e.a. says that iran's explanation is technically not credible. and a full explanation is needed from iran. so that is something that's ongoing and we will continue to monitor that and see what comes out of it. but it is interesting nevertheless, because iran has had blocked access to these sites. now, in terms of these advanced centrifuges that have been installed at the new tanned nuclear facility, which is iran's main nuclear facility, what iran has been clear since it began to reduce its commitments to that nuclear deal as a response to the united states pulling out and imposing sanctions on iran, iran has been clear in terms of what steps that they've been taking in terms of

reduction of the commitments. but what is interesting about this at that very natanz plant at a outside facility, there was a fire we were told in early june, then we were told by officials that it was an explosion. and some admitted that had been sabotage. but iran had said that it could have caused term delays in terms of development and production of advanced machinery, but they would compensate for that by increasing capacity. now it seems like they've done that in terms of the stockpile. well, 2 months ago it was 10 times the limit, and it only follows logic in november. now that it's going to be around 12 times. and so that's something that iran hasn't really done, but they enrich uranium is low enriched uranium, is that 4.5 percent and the nuclear allows for 3.6 percent as it should we be reading anything into the timing of this report? what does it mean for the new well, the timing is also interesting. it comes right after a us presidential elections where we have 2 individuals who have different

approaches to iran. we have donald trump, who pulled the united states of the out of that nuclear deal. and said it wasn't good enough and imposed sanctions on iran, and we have president elect joe biden who wants to return to the 2015 nuclear deal, but with some caveats, he wants iran to return to its commitments. now joe biden will look at this and look at this report and say, well, this proves that donald trump's tactics haven't worked. because under the nuclear deal, iran was in breach of anything. it was abiding by those restrictions since donald trump has left that deal. iran is, according to i.a.e.a. in breach of those commitments. well, donald trump look at this and say, well, iran never intended to stick to anything. and this just shows that iran is an honest, in terms of its nuclear program. it's for peaceful means, but iran really look at this and say, look, all the steps are reversible. all you want you to do to the united states is return to the deal and lift those sanctions in terms of the nuclear deal itself. there's

a lot of analysts and individuals that think that this nuclear deal is just hanging on by the last threat because iran has reduced its commitments. the only thing that's currently keeping this together is that the i.e.e.e. still has access to these sites. and iran's nuclear sites are monitored, 247 online, so iran hasn't blocked that. so this deal is on its last legs, but iran is looking to the united states and president elect joe biden. and hoping that he will return to the deal. and if those sanctions see how that relationship develops as a bag there for us on the ground in tehran, thanks so much awsome. now the man accused of being a key finance here of the 19041 genocide has pleaded not guilty at an international court in the hague. for use in cuba is accused of funding, militia groups and propaganda before and during the genocide which he denies. the former businessman was arrested in paris back in may after 26 years on the run. i think hutus killed at least 8 $100000.00, mostly tootsies in just

a few months. during that genocide, catherine sawyer is in nairobi, and she has been monitoring what happened during those court proceedings in the hague. police in kabul guest seemed frail and tired in the courtroom today. his lawyers have raised concern about his health. the judges are waiting for full medical reports, but he did fall or very keenly the proceedings in court. he did fall or as the charges were read out to him. 7 counts all related to the genocide in rwanda. with the registrar of the court, a detailing his alleged involvement in that genocide saying how he used his money to give cash to provide transport, food, uniform weapons to the entire how militia other participated in the genocide. how he passingly attended some planning meetings and how he would get frequent reports

from commanders of that group as well as how his radio station was used to spread aids. and journalists there had labeled to these as cockroaches. the registrar also saying that the guy himself, when he was in blunder, was saying often said that the to these are the enemy of rwandans. so he listened to that he, after his charges were read out. he did not speak, but he entered a plea of not guilty, or the prosecutors have asked for 6 months to prepare their case. but i have spoken to some rwandans. they are still happy to see him in the dark, and they are happy that finally he will get his day in court. now the corruption case against 7 people associated with south africa's governing party has now been adjourned until february of next year. they are accused of pocketing millions of dollars which were actually meant to fund as best us from evil, from more than 400000 homes. residents have reportedly died or become sick because

of vs best us fibers. the governor and his party secretary general will also appear and court later this week. thousands of residents in townships in the free state province say years of living under as best as she can raise, has made them ill. and cheating was meant to have been removed in a $15000000.00 contract that, that nothing was done and that money allegedly stolen, we spoke to a community leader who's been looking into those affected by the scandal. my name is mostly just that though, i'm a clue. what i have uncovered is that most people, you know, it really is. do we have as posters? they are not our way of the health implications of asbestos, which is a problem. when we go to other houses, we actually find out that they have their houses have been paid for the so that the roofing can be removed, but it's not done. i believe what went wrong is that we deploy wrong people.

people who do not care about the community. once we know people who care about the community will be able to deploy people who are able to do their job. you can tell me that as, as an emmy see you not are, well, what's happening around your department? people are angry. they're angry at the fact that they've been living in these houses for so long that children are also inheriting those houses. yet money is being spent for these houses, they are very, very angry. they're frustrated with the government. and in the end they take it out on as one who works with the community to say that every time you come to that nothing gets done. so they're committing is frustrated and angry as well. it's very concerning as an agency member that we are and able in this sort of thing. we seem to be enabling this sort of behavior instead of speaking out. it is,,

once you know the a.n.c., when you have grown up in the incident, you are taught that you are leader of society. that when your neighbor is ill, you must take responsibility for that. when your neighbor is angry, you must also take responsibility for that. now when you see leaders that have been deprived by as doing that to the very same people that they expect them to be, to vote for them. again, that's totally unfair. it's painful for us to go in to go to those with the same for every 5 years. we go to the same houses with the same problems. i think it stands, it's totally totally out of order. it's wrong. it's inhumane for as to expect people not to be angry with the a.n.c. are just normal. it's terrible. it's very painful for us now, bahrain has named crown prince some london home out al khalifa as the new prime minister. after the death of the longtime head of government, there, khalifa been salam al khalifa was 84 years old. he took power in the gulf kingdom
