apple daily print. it's last edition. it's the latest victim of china's cracked down on descent in the territory. and anti government protested in time unreturned to the streets, to cult change. the what the prime minister out on the constitution rewritten. ah. hello, welcome to the peg. i'm fullness, philippines president benita akina has died after being hospitalized on thursday. in manila, the 61 year old who was the son of 2 democracy icons served one term from 2010 to 2016, and presided over a period of steady economic growth. she will, i'll, in token, has more for manila, president been walking or beans or as he is mostly known here is someone who was more all too familiar about the difficult pains of achieving democracy in this

country. his parents were democracy icons, his father, the late senator, benito, r quino, was a fighter during the time of former president marcus during the period of martial law. he was shot dead in the term recruitment in the airport. in 1983. the death of his father actually push for as we call the people power revolution, which then propelled his mother to become president over the next few years. he was obviously president aquino, a member of the opposition. he held several government positions, but he led you was really kind of a side politician in 180901 of the cool rogue soldiers actually shot him 5 times as he was trying to defend his mother from these world soldiers who were still loyal to former president marcus, but it was the death really obvious mother in 2010 to also push for the public and

for him to basically run progressive in the 2010. and he won overwhelmingly. and you know, during the spirit between 2010 to 2016, the philippines was considered the economic rockstar in asia. the country was growing up an annual rate of 6 percent. he stood up against china and filed a case against china international tri view. the tribunal actually wants it's quite a mixed legacy. at this point, we're hoping to get more information from the family over the next few hours. he's out today is a professor of political science at the university of the philippines, dillema joseph, via skype for a minute. i could help you with this on the program professor. i mean being the president of the philippines is not an easy job, but the key to try to show that democracy and accountability could work. how successful wolfy at that? well, the aquino administration showed us that he remained true to what he contained for which is the trade or right path to, to government. and i think it was able to show

a lot of confidence the international community as respected the philippines in terms of the reforms, even though they were difficult. but president aquino, always drive for what not is popular, but what is right. and you can see from the very controversial all peace path, but it's administration to his foreign policy proficient. so how difficult then would you say or for the people or the philippines, was it to be trusted after so many years of either a military dictatorship or dictatorship in general? well, you know, a quino came from the family that consistently has defended philippine democracy. and i think at the current juncture of philippine politics by his passing, it's a worthwhile, a reminder that there will be need to find it's true, nor is that true north democracy and human rights. how difficult was it for him to actually take the how and as you said, he came from

a strong political democratic heritage. but the, the murder of his father ready thrust him into a life that perhaps he wasn't planning right. in building politics, it's always say that it's all in the family and beneath me on a quino had the pedigree for political office, but he was really more a hesitant person. he wasn't really of the spotlight until the death of democracy icon korea kino. so he was shoved into leadership. but i think in the reminder that even the most hesitant of paul, filipino politicians when call to serve must be obliged to serve the filipino public. of course then what one does, what or how he will be remembered as the day progresses and people across the country begin to understand that one of the former presidents has passed away.

yes, definitely, but i think move be forward. the he will be remembered as this middle way between 2 very controversial administration that tried to use executive power to and that very draconian policies as well as very populous as well as authoritarian leadership style flight b. kids. com be sent and i think very no key leadership would be a fresh remembrance of the variety of residential leaderships that could be quite effective in philippine politics. i was always good to get your insight from the university of the philippines did a man, thanks for joining us from melissa. thank you. thank you. though the, if you have the military is accused of delaying medical access after an alleged, as strike on a busy market in the t cry region which killed dozens. the 7 month old conflict has

escalated in recent days and mid reports of rebel advances, while elections were held elsewhere in the country. the u. s. and the u. n. of called for an investigation as victoria gate and the report, the relatives of the injured wait outside a hospital for news following the bombing of a busy market in the village of to go go any t p as t gray region. some of the victims of root here to the regional capital mckelly 30 kilometers away. but many more we did a believe to be trapped in the village health workers. se soldiers blocked medical teams from reaching the seen. a lot of people waiting during but they didn't get service and because of the location of the road, i mean if any the us state department, school days, reports credible and set in a statement that denying victims urgently needed medical care is heinous. and absolutely unacceptable. we urge the ethiopian authorities to ensure full and

unhindered medical access to the victims. immediately, i called for accountability, i call for an investigation for what has happened. but more broadly, we have made clear our position on the issues in to grey. we have asked for a cease fire. we demanded a cease fire. the attack happened during some of the most intense fighting since the conflict between the army and t gray, regional forces began in november. it's not been confirmed who carried out the attack, but military analysts say evidence overwhelmingly suggests the ethiopian air force is responsible. the frankly, nobody else who could have done it. the air try and air force is not operating in the area. the to grants have no air force. who else could have done it? it must been an ethiopian jesse. i don't think that will come as any surprise to anyone do you and has expressed deep alarm at the reports of violence and says it pushing for access to the region. the situation in the air remains very,

very volatile. it's important that everyone engaged in fighting do their utmost to protect civilians to obey international humanitarian law. this conflict is now in its 8th month. she, great opposition. party say more than 50000 people have been killed while the un says more than 350000 have been pushed into famine. last week, the african union launched an independent inquiry into alleged human rights abuses in the region after widespread accounts of messages and sexual violence against civilians. this attack may will be added to the growing list of atrocities to investigate victoria to be al jazeera uncles pro democracy, new se for the apple daily has printed its last edition. its been false to close out with assets were frozen and topic the executives were arrested. the newspaper is the latest institution in the city that has sold it,

here they have the picture of the scene outside their headquarters last night and into the early hours of the printing process made their final run. you can see they were surrounded by supporters in a normally quiet industrial area where their headquarters are and there's the title of the headline says home. com. people say goodbye to apple daily in the rain and at the, at the bottom here as a sub headline, they say we support the awful daily with a sense that they are leaving with a lot of sentiments and emotion here. still had here on out there thinking reconciliation. former rebels in colombia meets the men and women they kidnapped, including a former presidential candidate. and the creator of one of the 1st anti virus software has been found that in his jail cell, in stain those stories after the break.

and the wind is going to be a dusty drive one on friday, but 50 degrees is 50 degrees and hot wherever. and whenever you are now is the monthly winds of change. of course it's the edge of towns in the air and somalia tends to get the daily morning outbreaks of drizzly or even sherry rain and it tends to improve in the afternoon. there's not a fee to give a few sandstone still in the highlands of ethiopia. otherwise, fairly dry east africa, the a city defined by military occupation. there's never been an arab state. he with the capital of jerusalem. everyone is welcome. but the default structure that maintain the call on a project, that's what it feels was one of the founder of the settlement with this and the story of juice through the eyes of its own people, segregation, occupations,

discrimination, injustice. this is i thought, side in 21st century drew for them a rock and a hard place analogy 0. ah ah, look like you're watching, i'll just say with me. so romney, reminder of our top stories. people with philippine president benita aquino, who died after being hospitalized a minute on thursday. the 61 year old served one time, 2010 to 2016, presided over a period of steady economic grades. the u. s. is condemned. a suspected strong called a busy ball, continued the if his t cry region that report to be killed. dozens of people. health workers in the village of to go got told the associated press soldiers blocked metix,

this is getting pretty lively. they stop in the morning, 5 o'clock local weather commemorates, and tomorrow the end of the absolute mona k. to 9 years ago, this one started a democracy monument was going to present outside again supporting a bill to change the rules in the senate even such as yours downtown. enjoy your new way. they're coming back in the streets again. that is the

one who are trying to get get back and get going again in the teddy of course, very busy situation where you are, of course demonstrate that you've already come back home to streets as you say, if the demands have not been met me, what's the sense that they feel they really will be heard over the next few hours or even the next few days. or i think that's the question the trying to find out a little the protest later in that intervening things have been, giles has now been released on bail, but it's still facing very serious charges that could lead to lengthy jail. but i think also in the period we've seen a mounting criticism of the government as appealing across the country. they've mishandled the curve at 19 crisis, not only with the slow ro, vaccinations, but also if you cannot make re highlands,

it's suffering very badly at the moment. i think they want to capitalize on that, and they just want to see how many people are willing to support them. which said a lot of talk today fully for the prime minister to get out. but there's certainly a turning down of calls for the reform of the mona cannot today is very significant because it does not the out of us 3 of the end of absolute moment. but i think many people in thailand outside the initial protest movement thought they had gone a little bit too far. we may see today a relaunching of the moon. suddenly i think that's what the project lead is hope. and perhaps avoiding some of those more very controversial topic will depend through the day with you in a very vibrant and noisy bank called thanks so much, tony checking that force not libby as tough towards finding lasting peace has received a boost. it's foreign ministers, as mercenaries could be out of the country within days. now that departure is part of a plan to reduce violence ahead of elections in december. at am,
