just talk us through how the government's insight africa is responding to this crisis. do you think they're doing enough? good afternoon and thank you very much for the opportunity. it is pretty tenants right. 10 south africa, as you indicated in the headlines and millions of people venturing a rage and frustration at being left out of any sentence of rescue package despite the incredibly restrictive lot conditions that have been imposed. once again, on top africa, given the high levels of current contagion, the issues at hand need to be completely comprehensive, be understood. and from our analysis, the government failing to do that. what we see is a tinderbox, where people for decades have been living in increasing never poverty. just last

week, a report released so that 13000000 people in south africa on living in hunger. $3000000.00 of these are children, youth unemployment, for 18 to 24 year old teaching in about 77 percent. and yet south africa was not a poor countries. we one of the richest countries most, i'm sorry, the most unequal kind of countries globally. so the question as to what the state is doing and what it should be doing, needs to be addressed. and at a meeting last night, it seemed that the response from base is not to recognize the under the lying. so she's not the crisis, but instead to respond with more boots on the ground. so what we're seeing right now is incredibly high level of hunger to stop ation is denied south africa and so people are feeling the front of the cold as well. yes, but you just said that south africa is a relatively rich country. so why is the situation so bad?

why is there such a problem with poverty in what you describe as a relatively wealthy country so that because facing and unemployment rate are just 50 percent. if you look at the definition, so we have high levels of unemployment, we also have high wage differential, so you have just the majority of in working poverty. the most critical aspect is that we do not have sufficient social security as a distributive met him by those who for employment we have no social security for working age people. so we have the, the revenues that would be able to provide these, these kind of safety net. there's nothing on the statute books. and in fact, odyssey the still designed to cope with an a situation where working h people is what would garron feet employment but have not been refigured to deal

with the millions of people living in unemployment and poverty right now. but the government says in a n, c governments, if i'm not mistaken, they've been in power for a very long time, flipped to power on the promise of solving these inequalities. and the problems brought in by apartheid. so what has the government been doing for the last goodness knows how many years is this government capable of solving this problem? that's, that's a hard question and it's one that needs to be art. we have, it seems macroeconomic environment we're driven by our national treasury. that seems to think that we're facing the challenges of a developed country rather than developing countries. so what we're seeing right now in terms of protests on the street, is an accumulation of people who feel that they're not being heard. if you look at the president's announcement on sunday week ago,

the announcement itself recognized the clients of workers, but not the unemployed. and civil society is coming together to say what we need is a basic income grant. we need the state to recognize that if we get to rebuild our society, we need to see everybody through basic income god. and immediately with thought at the cross that would cut last month, which had been feeding people through the whole of it. so i trust the state has the ability to recognize that this is a tipping moment if it fails to now we're not sure what kind of never the politic i'll get to escalate as to of ation hit. so very simply, what we're saying is the universe, the basic income got funded by a tax, as well as immediate, a resumption of state grant and food possible meet to be both into those areas that have been but there is no fee because the shot have been dish and of the food we

need to touch base base organizations to come together. we need to manage karen, but we also need to reform and we need the matchup agency. ok, isabel fry from the studies in poverty and inequality institute. thank you so much for joining us here on our era. thank you. have a protesters any wrong or demanding answers from the government after a hospital fire kills more than 90 people. on monday, the families of victims accused house officials of negligence and corruption, mahmud otherwise had reports from the southern city of nasiriyah. searching for his son's remains. alley is devastated. he says his 12 year old was burned to death at the murmurs hosea hospital in southern iraq. i'm

relatives and friends of the victims have been coming to translate this one across on the 3 year to afford their condolences. the death is inside a state or on hospital have prompted widespread public anger and mistrust of government health institutions. angry protest, her term, the hospital pledging to continue demonstrating until those responsible are brought to justice. we want one government, what everyone, everyone who manage them in the ministry held in jail. they protested as chanted again, it's to unity threatening to take matters into their own hands if it continues. without the ultra 0 in the city, your city, southern iraq, business activities may be slowly returning to the gambia after cove with 19

a normal day, this area in the heart of the countries tourism industry will be filled with tories and those who cater for them. now that number has significantly reduced business leaders. you can make activities may be resuming slowly, but recovery is still far off. it has not ended, but there's some progress. and recently i'm pleased to say the chamber was that it's true true. got into national of the 2 years. he says one out of 3 businesses, he and the gambia may not survive the pandemic in one out of 6 businesses that do survive. i expected to face long term cash flow problems. that could mean more job losses or outright closures for some was a business in europe and asia. i beginning to recover from covered 90 disruptions. remington will be living abroad accounting for with 20 percent of the g. d. p is not expected to return to its pre covered 90 levels. that means more uncertainties

a part response of what occurred because protests were spar in the midst of a major social went viral, which was the key for not allowing monitoring supplies or getting it. that's something denied in addition to presidents and he struggled more conciliatory tone. he, he did say that protests were, were instigated. ready by the lenient sector in the united states who want to stop the relation between tube in the united states. but he also said that the self critique was necessary and he recognized the social problem and that a lot of mark that were marginalized population, had not been transformed. and that seems to be a new tone from the president. and so we'll see if that produces any more com or in

the days to come last year's civilians on both sides of the disputed nagondo carbon region were caught up in the worst fighting in more than 25 years. and despite a cease far between armenia and as a bon, sean, there were still concerns about another casualty of war, cultural heritage sites, wrestle 3rd, our reports from as a by sean. now gordon, cut about maybe small in size, but the disputed region is rich in cultural and religious heritage. these 100 year old monuments however, have seen better days lockers in the shoulder. hundreds of monuments and historical sites in this region have been damaged, vandalized, or destroyed during the 30 years of war. the thousands of graveyards, the historical educational institutions, museums, then now unrecognizable. the 1st publication house,
