9:03 pm
really the worst coming person. you just don't understand it. a good man and a fine public 7 says that message, a true gentleman, he supported his community, says one down here, and there's another over there. thank you for your dedicated service to our community for so many years. so many of these tribute have a similar message, david amos die doing something that was integral through his job. he was out there meeting the public face to face, but it raises the question ah, and piece safe enough. although westminster can seem like a fortress with armed police never far away. most m. p 's have little to no protection when they're in their constituencies. and this is the 2nd m, p to be murdered in 5 years. joe cox from the opposition labor party was killed by a white supremacist in 2016 on the streets of the area. she represented the home secretary as lawrence to safety review measures underway. right now. i've convened

9:05 pm
killing. what we have to do is ensure that the safety, they're not just for myself as a member of parliament, but more importantly, my staff and people that support me in doing that. i certainly would not want to put their lives at risk. and certainly i have a job to do which is to meet my constituents freely. that is one of the key to missions being member of parliament in united kingdom and people should be able to come and see me. i think what they will have to be is perhaps closer support of people coming in and maybe even an ability to see whether those people are searching or they come in. and if they're not carrying anything or maybe a night or something like that. but those matches are being worked out by the mister speaker along with a home sick and the scared services. ultimately, i still want to make constituents, i will still hold my surgery. that is the principles that our democracy runs off.
9:06 pm
and therefore, it's important for me to continue to do that. of course, it would also be important for me to go and see my local residence and meet people in shopping squares and other areas to be able to show presents for them for them to be able to speak to me. i think there has to be some sort of security presence around in order to support that. but we're not gonna make sure that we're just completely isolated from our constituents. constituents, lot of people do not have those sort of blue or facilities available to them to be able to dial in to us or to have that phone conversation without feeling confident . so we have to make sure that we support those constituents, whether they're both to me or not. i am a member of parliament, so i have to make sure i do that. and i think we have to look at some sort of over system which allows us to do that. and of course,
9:07 pm
in any system they will be able to listen your way and we just have to try and mitigate as much as possible of that course. most of my family are concerned that i do appreciate that i'm also as well as a son, father or husband. i'm also a member of parliament and i could use my condition, of course, but as a member of family, they are extremely, extremely concerned about my safety. and we have to put that in balance and i listen to what they're saying. but ultimately, as member of parliament, i have to look at the support i get to my constituents and the contact there with me, that's important to do that. ha mcmillan talking to us earlier the taliban, promising to step up security at sheer mosques after the 2nd major attack against worshippers and a week, funerals are being held in kandahar following a bomb attack on friday. the killed, at least 48 people i saw in afghanistan has claimed responsibility. it follows a similar attack in northern city of couldn't dues last week. members of the shia

9:09 pm
geo politics, you economics. and there are tensions within our honda start. their fault lines within our phone is done. anyone can take advantage of those 4 lines and therefore trends in the region and beyond. in anyone, any country or any state or non state actor can take advantage of these weaknesses that exist and honest i. so i think it's very important that we put everything in context and that be figure out exactly who is behind this. how they can do this and that they can be brought to justice or they can be eliminated . so i think we're moving toward a situation where the tolerable have not been recognized. you're upset about that, or we see and there are other forces they're taking advantage of this situation. what needs to happen is that most attainable need to recognize what it means to govern and to be effective, and to make sure that they satisfy the demand and the expectations at the national
9:10 pm
community. and then return the international community. has to step in and do what's possible, in an honest and to prevent the collapse. the united states says it'll give condolence payments to the families of those it killed in a drone strike in august. now mattie family call was targeted and believe it was part of an ice will bomb plot. 10 civilians including 7 children, were killed. and what the head of us come on called a tragic mistake. the department of defense says is working to relocate surviving relatives to america because of the us that they will provide aid and they will compensate us so far. they haven't done any of those. and they said they will take us to the us, but they haven't definitely, we are eager to go because we are under security threat level every minute and every 2nd of our lives are in danger. and i miss my friends so much. nobody can understand or pain, they have harmed us enormously and ended our friendship. i even dream of them. the french president has condemned

9:12 pm
a historians would've thought about $48.00 to $68.00, but did that dawn is about $200.00 plus, obviously, the relationship between algeria and france especially what happened during the war has been a secret of all the last the until macklin came to barwell bill has been a little bit of opening and discussions about this shared memory and mr. mcgraw has made some steps to ward from kind of reconciliation. obviously, obviously sentiments are very high on both sides off to betray in a, in france. and in on julia and mr. mcgraw has her to walk availability tight, but all not to upset the local audience in france and all talk in responding to other julian desires for a full apology. okay, but what,
9:13 pm
that's my next point. the idea of a full apology. clearly he stopped short of saying, i, we am are sorry, because if a french president says, sorry, that then gives other people the opportunity to kick the door opener start demanding reparations. well i think that the apology is on the cards. it will not pop in any time. as soon as wendy when brittany martin, for instance, instructed dead the historian, benjamin a thought are too light aid the bolt at woe about this shall memory and what needs to be done. a form, an apology has been excluded, but to a better description by my crew of the events that happened a 60 years ago, that the financially but it is the climate is unforgivable. ah,
9:14 pm
by the republic is a really significant a step, especially given to strained relations between angelica and france. our demand, a couple of weeks ago, mr. mcclung made some made a statement that was not necessarily that was not well received by our j up. he welcomed some of the hard copies i, he and jillions who fought a weed finance during the under in war. and he got a decorated the sum of a dan. these particular axes were not believe anyone received in algeria, juliette, he called, it's ambassador. and it has been taught by some french politicians like to for, to play minister. that are, julia is a sovereign state and a respected and so on and so forth. i believe that to do statement by background to day and his visit to the side where some argentines, well thrown to that even send embodies or has been on the goals,
9:15 pm
especially given display just religions between the took the to the country. i believe that this does mr. michael is trying to a, that a concise france, which when it's passed and also her birth, showing an audi vir treats walls the angelina that a full apology might come in the very near future. okay. we must leave it there. you say blunt l thanks very much for joining us at frontera. thank use plenty more ground still to cover for you here on the news are including the worst crisis of sedans, transition quotes, a warning from the countries prime minister, as more processor called today. and we'll go to burkina faso live, where africa's biggest film festival is now getting underway, defying an insurgency and the pandemic also had a man is getting ready to play a role on the international sporting calendar. we'll have our story later here on
