a 50 in southern iraq. i get a lot of condemning what they consider negligence, mismanagement, and corruption of hotel in the city say that they will continue protesting everyday lives until the government really conclusions of the investigation commission and visited by an outbreak in a moment or seeing how the claim, the lives of doesn't go with 900 patients on monday. now the angry with no housing. they're holding the position with the victim of the fire outbreak and mom and her hospital. they say that the government is not taking the necessary measures to guarantee that such

a tragedy is not happen again. at any hospital, they will, they're threatening to take mother into their own hands. once again, they get it protested their mom and her say in hospital and now they include, they include the victims, families and relatives. they say that they want to convey a message to the political parties and the government. they say that the political parties are blamed for not doing enough to protect the people. they also say they also say that there was a conspiracy against the victim because the security force is a good thing to them. security forces prevented volunteers, local civilians who tried to rescue the victim, but they could not reach this isolation words because they were prevented

by the security forces. columbia president says, most of the colombian former soldiers accused of being involved in the fascination of the haitian leader, were not aware of the plot even to k, set a small number of the men a detailed knowledge of the mission. but most believe they were traveling to haiti only as bodyguards, president joe anomalies. he was assassinated. we could go 18. colombian suspects have been arrested 3 others were killed by the police and the gallery with more now on the investigation out of miami, we heard behavior authorities talking about trying to catch the mastermind behind this. and then i'll claiming a man called christian son on who is a doctor, an pastor who spent most of his life between here in florida and haiti, is that mastermind. he has been arrested over the weekend. he hasn't been charged yet. but there are questions swirling about this. what is emerging as the central character? this is the pastor and doctor who lived here in florida had several fail businesses

which raises the question, how would a man like this even raise the capital needed to allegedly hire assassins to carry out this operation of getting way to job noma, we see was the president, so it is a very confusing situation at the moment, but it certainly seems to be widening all the time. one central figure now being blamed for this, arrested and not charged. i'm seeing some reports that christine sent on did have meetings to talk about. what would happen once, as you have now, i'm always stepped down. he did have a political ambitions, but he says that he simply wasn't involved those close to him, so he would never do this kind of thing. no, possibly, could he even finance something like this was this investigation goes on. it is casting a wide net. even some of you have normal ways as close a police officers insecurity detail. they've been arrested so a lot of confusion. no real evidence to say who carried out this attack. but thankfully, at the moment, things in haiti do seem to be secure,

which i think is the biggest concern for ordinary haitians. the biggest kasha in north america is wrapping up in chicago. these 51st major tourism grow in nearly 18 months carmakers from around the world showcasing the us electric vehicles, which promised to out perform anything else on the road out. it was john henry reading up for us here on the news hour as well. so john, this is the 1st major car show in the u. s. since the pandemic hit. how's this one different this time around? while it's shorter, smaller, and later in the year than it usually is. but what we keep hearing from the people who showed up today on the 1st day when the public was allowed in here. thank goodness, it's finally happening here in chicago. the car show was the last major event held here at this convention center in february of 2020. and it's the 1st event to open it back up. in the meanwhile, it had been used as

a covert hospital. $230.00 events had been cancelled costing the city about $3100000000.00 in last. he can make impact and now it's a much smaller show. it's got about half the footprint that it one tad and when it's usually held in winter now it's being held in summer and that is opened up the opportunity for outdoor test tracks and urban adventures. like ford has a new bronco that they're driving over a kind of urban landscape full of hills here show. we have fewer people as well because it is just the 1st day. busy and it's a thursday, a lot of people didn't even know this was happening where he's usually this is one of the big events for the year here at the convention center in chicago. usually we get about 30000 people running through the doors and it's very crowded down there. and as you can see, it's a much more sparsely populated scene here. but everyone we talk to, most of them not wearing math,

is excited to be back to look at the new cars and you're right. electric cars really are the thing. i took a test drive a little earlier in an all electric duel engine, mustang, s u, v. they've also got a giant ford f 150 pickup truck. we're in the engine compartment when you open it up. there is nothing there because it's all electronically powered. and there are a number of electronic cars that are being viewed here, but mostly just a lot of excitement. but finally, people are back out not wearing masks and looking at cool cars. that doesn't sound like a bad way to spend a couple of days. john, thanks very much, john henry now reporting my 1st out of chicago business activities maybe slowly returning to the gambia. after cupboard 19 restrictions were lifted, but 2 of it's more important economic sectors. people sending money home to family and tourism to continue to decline admitted risk has more now from angel at the port of my jewel. i few ships,

industry. we have thousands of employees who are not lead, i'm not home. so basically most of the places are also close due to maybe a rent issues or to finance and he says so completely it is it is it is, it is completely a difficult situation. at the moment, gambia lost $40000000.00 in tourism revenue introduce $24.00, a small economy that devastating. this is going to be a cortez one of the best place to assess the help of the campaign economy on 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 it to it is maybe resuming slowly. but recovery is still far off. it has not ended, but there is some progress. and recently,

i'm pleased to say the chamber was that the street tree got into national of their 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 is in europe and asia. i beginning to recover from covered 90 disruptions. remington for living abroad accounting for with 20 percent of the g. d . p is not expected to return to its pre covered 1900 levels. that means more uncertainties for families and the economy of the gambia. but the reason al jazeera by july, the sports next here on out to 0, including highlights from day one, the open championship, including this content shot of the day from one young america.
