4:44 pm
to be something that generally, generally, filipinos have been very supportive or maybe because the stigma there's a huge big ma against drug addicts in the philippines, even in low income communities. nowhere a lot of the extra judicial killings have transpired. so it's, it's unfortunate, but i think that is the way the group was on drugs has been the linchpin or the amcor and which his administration admin in administration has latched on today. he is, president, has extended the suspension of parliament until further notice nearly a month after taking on emergency powers. at the same time, the lead of the largest political party alada has dissolved its executive committee, thought heights has more at the store. last night. he said it was an exceptional

main political parties including the largest sonata cities since the crackdown support, he has softened its rhetoric and acknowledged past mistakes. you know that then another color has been difficult for everyone. let's be honest, even enough to blame to that. it should have been stronger, stayed away from political and fighting and focused instead on economy shipments to meet the demands of tenicia in society. the arab spring changed dramatically and put the country on a pass away from dictatorship and towards democracy. but there's still a sense of uncertainty as soon as he and wait to see what case i had long term plans for the country proved to be thought a height of al jazeera, a 15 year old had been killed asked of these rainy military rated the bullets refugee camp off to sustaining a gunshot wound to the head. hundreds of mourners marched in the funeral for a mad hash in nablus. these railey army says it was conducting a ride for a suspect, who was later arrested. when crashes erupted ashes among 12 children killed in the

the non for profit guess gear hospital. i suppose at one point you would have thought that this would be full of people. it was full last year. it was full. now it is very calm. we don't have any admission. haiti's health ministry says only around $600.00 people have died of cobra. 19. the infection rate is also far lower than in many of the places. nobody knows exactly why. but since the pandemic isn't taking off, neither is the vaccination campaign. far down inside of business that really present him hazy and if it's not present, there is no need for them to get vaccinated in this market, the streets were full. the faces there. many don't believe in cove, it or mistrust. the vaccines like him, i don't where because i believe in god. i don't believe in what people say the human being lives all the time. they never speak the truth. that's why i only believe god. we took to do been new because he was one of only
