but the situation worse and after the assassination of president jo vanelle moyse in july and a devastating earthquake in august or hating spin, struggling with a steady wise and gang related kidnappings. $628.00 people were reported kidnap in just the 1st 9 months of this year, according to the country center for analysis and research in human rights. now that far our strips, the 234 people taken in all of 2020, according to police statistics compiled by the u. n. in haiti, and that was 3 times the number of people taken in 2019, but many kidnappings on never reported. while the growing audacity of the gangs is seen police officers, walter's children. ringback priest, nuns, and even entire bustles of passengers, taken recently with ransom demands raging from hundreds of dollars to more than a 1000000. it is a lucrative business in a deeply impoverished country. not under have rec, you know,

when we hear there's been a kidnapping. we know it's not going to be good for drive, as people don't go out on the streets. we can't find people who need transport. we have a wife and 4 to 5 children, a family think we did? well, let's talk to my canada, who's following developments from washington, d. c. hi there, mike. and what more do we know now about this group? well, the group is actually from a mission reorganisation based in ohio, the vision that has released a statement asking for pres, suppose, abducted as well as the kidnappers, the organization has been operating in haiti for decades. it only broke operations for some 9 months. 2 years ago, following an earlier session of gang violence within the hey t, nothing from the state department upon from a brief statement saying that it is monitoring the situation. what we do know is that there were a group of us advises, in recent days, in haiti,

holding consultations with the haitian national police to find out ways in which they could both the operations. it's not known at this stage whether there's going to be greater u. s. involvement. following the latest kidnapping are predominantly us citizens. we also know as well that the un extended its mission in haiti on friday for 9 months following ongoing discussion in the security council. so on the face of it, there's still a un presence within haiti, but clearly the national police struggling to maintain any semblance of law in order given the state of kit nothings and mike, who is thought to be behind the kidnapping. well, haitian police have identified the kidnappers as belonging to a group called $400.00 was ho, now this is an armed criminal gang. it's literally translate says $400.00 inexperienced men. it's been operating,

particularly in the area with this abduction took place east of the capital port a price. and it is according to observers, responsible for then more than 80 percent of the kidnappings that have occurred in recent months. so it's a gang that has been operating for a long period of time, seemingly with immunity in an area that is set to be particularly erin, particularly devoid of any forces of law and order. clearly, great area for a gang like this to operate. once again, we are hearing from the patient police that they are following up in terms of getting hold of the fees as well as coming to terms of those who kidnapped them. but this gang has been operating for a long period of time. and the question that remains open is whether the haitian police are going to be able to deal with a situation without outside assistance. that then raises other issues. the haitians completely opposed generally to any form of outside intervention. the u. s. for

example, has intervene militarily in haiti 6 times since the early 20th century. so there is a resistance to any form of us interference in haitian it is even though and even during this ongoing spate of kidnappings. my candidate joining with the latest semester from washington dc might thank you. i 7 years after game and civil war began fighting is escalating in the battle for a key oil and gas producing region of the country. they ran back hootie rebels, say the seas to districts in marin province, and 3 more in neighboring shop was this after the saudi led coalition, which backs the government, says it had killed a $160.00 hootie fighters in air strikes bianca group to explain in

yemen. 7 years civil war, the guns have rarely fallen silent. now, a fierce battle for control is being waged in the northeast, who the rebels are fighting to capture marin. the oil rich province is a year many governments last stronghold in the north. after weeks of siege and fighting the hoot, the se, then circling and capturing more areas, including a strategic gateway to my of city, and parts of neighboring shop where province w. m. as hell is merely an area is a 3200 square kilometers. hundreds of the mercenaries had been killed and wounded, including elements from al qaeda and iso, and many weapons have been seized. the armed forces salute the role of the tribes of mars and chandler, and people of both provinces against the aggressors. the armed forces will continue the liberation of more territories. he saw the back him, the government forces and their ally, tribal fighters are pushing back with dozens of air strikes and

a ground offensive and married. and i don't know all, and the whole act, the seller allowed to like either infiltration and penetrations made by the who, the fighters and up dia and in lapka valley. but the ongoing resistance is still there, as the war continues. these healthy infiltration and penetrations will soon come to an end that for both sides, the controls of mario is critical, and where yemen swore is likely to be decided. is basically the last northern stronghold that the human government has. as far as they're concerned, we cannot afford to lose matter because that would mean that they're using their switching and nausea and shared the hope she, you have a significant piece deal and actually allow for some, some level of the power chair. we the, her easy movement cannot afford to do that region of yemen because that would mean essentially losing control of natural resources that would allow for the receipt to basically claim had

a completely independent nording eman. mario already hosts hundreds of thousands of displaced people from across yemen. the un says thousands more have been displaced by the fighting in the province in the last month. a, c h by who these is stopping humanitarian aid and critical medical supplies from reaching those who need them. the u. n. is urging both sides still are safe passage for civilians than 8 workers. but so far, those calls have been ignored. brianca up there, i'll 0. will women are hon. darning is a researcher, the yemen policy center. he believes the battle for control of merab is likely to continue for some time. though the offensive in man, in particular, the in southern america, has been steadily progressing. the group is making slow gains and allowed the annual juba display district, obviously, despite suffering heavy casualties. in the past week, about 700 with these were killed mostly by 2 hundreds of saudi led, their strokes. and essentially, this has created, obviously a less of

a morale for the food is to continue and take over a matter. but at the same time, there's also been weakness. and this unity among the anti with the forces and matter as pressure continues in the past week, also about 101210000 people were also displaced the matter. and it doesn't seem to both the, the warring parties are paying any consideration to that, even though some actors are using them as such. to essentially say that the other actor is committing humanitarian at times. and so i think that with his have been most of the bits rounding the city of merab from the south and then from the north from a job government. and so they are essentially trying to surround the city, but they're unable to because of the in the child is at saudi straits. and as such, it all depends on the saudis and how much they're willing to fight for matter. if the saudis continue to fight for matter, we can expect a situation like this. although although it is going to be quite deadly on for a long time, because it has been very, very similar to this in the past couple of months. and so if the, if this is the hoop is managed to go into matter, then that means essentially

a victory against international recognized government, which is matter was the last stronghold for them in the north of yemen. and essentially, this would also the legitimize decided intervention in yemen because this will not allow them to continue to operate and are in governor. it's a club remote and an marrow. we're saudi projects are being implemented or for their own interest. at least 19 people have been killed after heavy wayne's cause, landslides and flooding in india's cabella state. it is the worst flooding since 2018 when more than 500 people were killed. teams from the national disaster response force are working to save. those still thought to be in danger. the hiding reports, a streets turned into rivers. entire hillsides appearing to melt under heavy rain. marin. okay there in baltimore. the rain from the top is accumulated here. the water has entered our veranda in our
