9:02 pm
as negotiations enter their 5th day protests against haiti's security situation broke out again across the capital, demonstrators burnt tires and blocked streets. angry over the economic crisis and the rise. they're in kidnappings. they're now calling for the chief of police to step down. well, let's go live now to manual palo, he's on the line for us in the capitol porter prince. now this is quite an escalation. was it expected from the gang? that's right. this helps you. this is quite the escalation, especially after several days of not a hearing or seeing any meaningful updates in terms of the status of these kidnapped individuals. and now what we're seeing is the social media video posted by the, again, $400.00 below the game responsible for the kidnapping. the video appears to show a funeral of one of. 1 the gang members who apparently was shot and killed yesterday by police. what we're hearing are unconfirmed reports. you've not been
9:03 pm
able to independently verify whether or not this has been confirmed, but 5 members of the gang have apparently been shot and killed by police. so what we're seeing in this video is the gang leader clearly saying, addressing they all charles, who is the head of police and addressing a laundry with the prime minister of haiti, saying thing, quote, you make me cry, tears, i'm going to make you cry blood. now you mentioned there had been protests throughout the day. actually now the 5th day protests, your port of prince. these protests have been escalating over the last few days. the 1st one that we were saw that we witness for protests. 4 that were in solid arity with the hostages calling for the release of these hostages. but the protests are, are now intensifying with people. 4 also calling attention and calling for government accountability on widespread fuel shortage is on a lack of meaning on a lack of clear leadership by the government. we do know, despite the fact that police have not given us any update here,
9:04 pm
they denied our request for comment on the ongoing investigation, but a joint effort with us. federal agents here in haiti remains under way to secure the release of these hostages. but the concern now especially after the the video was published that tensions. 1 are going to are going to continue to, to escalate that there is fear that violence could worst in on the streets. and the gang leader very clearly says that if he does not get, if he does not get what he wants, he's willing to kill the american hosted manual. this is obviously a real demonstration of the deteriorating security situation across haiti has a government at this point. any capacity at all to try to intervene we unfortunately have not heard anything from the haitian government over the last few days. part of that could be. 4 not wanting to share too much information that could kind of give away the secrets and strategy of the efforts these joint effort with the us. but remember, we should point out that this or sitting security situation is not something that
9:05 pm
simply happened overnight. yes, there was a, a spike in violence following the assassination of presidential bell boys in july. and then after that devastating earthquake in august. but there's been a significant rise in crunch, kidnappings, extortion, and just generalized violence in puerto printed and other parts of the country related to this term. we're playing out between bible gangs here in haiti. and again, there's concern that with the social unrest that continues to grow violence could be escalating here in the coming days. non, you're a part of that with all the nation's 1st on the ground important prints. thank you so much, manuel. well meanwhile in ohio, the christian aide ministry group says it's holding a day of fasting and prayer for those. abducted missionaries also pray for the kidnappers, that they would experience the love of jesus and turn to him. and we see that as their ultimate need. we also ask for prayer for government leaders and authorities as they relate to the case and work toward the release of the hostages
9:06 pm
. we greatly appreciate the work and assistance of people that are knowledgeable and experienced and dealing with the situations like this on the law, the president of panama, costa rica, and the dominican republic have asked for us help to address a record number of migrants crossing through that region and the need is meant to discuss the migrant crisis on wednesday. more than a $100000.00 migrants have tracked north from columbia this year, nearly a 5th of them were children. they travel by boat and then hike through dangerous jungle terrain, hoping to reach the united states and more than half of them are from hazy, the gate, the more he cannot be left alone, but it also can't be left to the neighbors. it's a responsibility that is affecting the whole region. as the panamanian president said, the solution for hittie is in haiti by supporting the haitians, m r reg woman. though we have recommended a public investment program,
9:07 pm
a public infrastructure program to generate employment so that the people of haiti stay in their country so that they see progress and a future in haiti. well, that all happened on the same day that you are secretary of state antony blinkin was meeting with regional foreign ministers in columbia. specifically to discuss the migration crisis, we both recognized that the unprecedented migration challenge that we're facing in our hemisphere requires regional cooperation and coordination and shared responsibility. that's what our meeting this afternoon is about. that's what the work we're doing together is about. well, the dairy, an gap is a treacherous overland route between south and north america. $500.00 people are allowed to board boats and the neck quickly each day that take them to the stars of their journey. but $1500.00 arrived in the small town every 24 hours. those who find a boat than face a 6 day journey on foot through thick jungle, they often arrive in panama dehydrated, sick, and robbed of their belongings. then from there they still have to make it through
9:08 pm
nicaragua, on jurors guatemala and mexico before reaching the us border. or let's bring in. it was a marla. he is the assistant director of the caribbean initiative with the atlantic council. he joins us now from washington. dc was in the route there really reflects the desperation of these migrants. there are obviously a number of drivers here, poverty, political instability, disasters. how do you even begin to address those? well, 1st the president of panama costa rica and dominican political, correct. they're right to say that it's economic opportunity, lack of opportunity that's causing migration and it's, it's not keeping patients at home, but this is only one small part of the issue limit limited commer economic opportunity has been the status quo. but lately, the instability that results from the assassination and earthquake as amplified these issues fear is a real motivating factor. it causes people to flee the proliferation. and you know, games right now is the main cause. and these people are also not unable to get
9:09 pm
access to the need, a visit, they need food and water and social services such as medical care. you know, he's present was right. this is a regional problem at the atmosphere issues and, but he's countries are already tap for resources, which really needed the u. s. investment un support to make sure that the capacities of these countries are equipped to handle the migrant because it does not seem but the patients, the patient patient migration is going to stop right now is countries are going to have to continue to receive them. and to ensure that when they are receiving these migrant, they also get access to the goods and needed services. over the we were listening to very strong lads from leaders in the region today. and as you say, asking for help or potentially intervention of some sort. but foreign intervention and hazy haven't exactly, always gone to plan. so what are the actual options? now? i would say that intervention is not an option if history is already told us that intervention and haiti has not done well for the haitian people. one thing that the presidents are right is that they need to come from hazelton. patients that are
9:10 pm
fighting it needs to come for haitian people, be more than anyone understand what the challenges that they are facing. they understand that the solutions need to be indigenous to have what is needed is the international effort. it can't be simply a few countries or a few. and so international institutions that are working to resolve the crisis and 80 needs to be all hands on that effort. there are 35 countries in the hampshire. all of them needs to participate in this endeavor. was in you say, we need help on an international effort. and we've also been seeing deportations from various countries around the region as well as the united states. and they don't appear to be actually discouraging people from attempting the journey is any of that changing the calculus for migrant at all? i don't think so, like i said before, the year is a real motivating factor. there is limited economic opportunity, but people are fearing for their lives. you know, there is a gang term for going on, even before the assassination kidnappings,
9:11 pm
in homicides war already on the right. when you're unable to get access to clean water, i don't that unable to have electricity. that is what's driving the haitian people and it doesn't matter what, what the us says, what the us says, what other kind of receiving countries are saying? it's still going to push them to migrate. well then given the political climate that you just alluded to that around this issue, and given the fact that my friends aren't stopping that journey, is there actually anything that could be done to at least try to make it safe? i, you know, that's the question that all of us are wrecking our brains with on the most important thing is that there needs to be a secure haiti security. and haiti of the key is the key through gaining public trust and the government. he's holding elections for and providing a safe business climate so that there can be economic opportunity. this is what some patients at home it needs to be. you know, one thing that needs to happen is that the security forces and haiti needs to be well equipped, who needs more training and they need more experience in order to deal with the
9:12 pm
different and multiple game. the $400.00 is the gang that is grabbing a headlines today, but it won't be the only game that grabs international headlines. and they also need more resources to with him. marla, they're the assistant director of the caribbean initiative with that to counsel. great to get your expertise here with us on out there. thanks for joining us with him. thank you. i still plenty more have here this. these are including india has administered 1000000000 vaccines against corbet 19. but we explain why concerns remain about a drop in inoculations. one small step for south korea, the country launches, it's fast domestically made spaced rocket. i'm bangladesh. i've booked their place in the next round of crickets, t 20. well cut. the piece will have the action for you shortly in school. ah,

9:14 pm
a ham dog, and installed a new one until the elections are held. they say that the current government is not inclusive and does not represent everybody who took part in the revolution. now this cold, these courts as the people that are taking 2 to 3 today, especially those who we've seen around us here, they said they were, they've responded to the calls of the forces or freedom and chase toilet in the mainstream. not because they support any specific political part to show that they prefer a civilian rule over a military one. now the government has made preparations for this day, the interior ministry, and i was, i have already put these around the main bicycle facilities of the government, including the national legislative assembly which is currently vacated because there is no functioning legislative assembly as part of the power sharing agreement that the to be formed, but nevertheless protested, took to that building to show that they wanted these government to be formed. their reports of not only appeared as being user on processes, but live ammunition as well. hospitals has already have already been listed for

9:16 pm
libya has been in conflict since the uprising that toppled warmer gadhafi 10 years ago. now, different political groups have since been competing violently to gain control. since 2014, the main power struggle has been between the u. n. recognized government and tripoli and the to brook based administration, the east backed by a wall of kelly for hafta last march. though the 2 signs agreed on a ceasefire and formed a unity government until these elections and december mil trainer has the latest force from that conference in tripoli. as far as the elections, there's a couple of road blocks that you live in. government has to be able to go through in order for elections to happen. one is too, oh, there are still hasn't been a constitutional framework agreed upon between the legislative branches in libya for the elections to even be help. our number 2 is a foreign fighters over 20000 foreign fighters and with our, the control vast areas of land, especially in the south central port of libya and,
9:17 pm
and having them in the country or what raises concerns if the elections can happen . and those, one of the topics i was discussed here today, or the government is hoping that they can build international support and put pressure on the, on the countries that have foreign fighters here. so they can leave and the country can move towards debility. now been in parliament has voted to legalize abortion. it means that women and the west african nation can now access the procedure within the 1st 3 months of pregnancy. it was previously only allowed on the very strict conditions, including if the mother's life was threatened, nearly 200 women die and many in each year from complications following unsafe abortions. abortion in west africa is largely illegal. nigeria and ivory coast have some of the strictest floors, permitting it only to save a woman's life. pregnant women in senegal must get 3 doctors to certify that the
9:18 pm
procedure is indeed life saving liberia and gonna have relatively progressive laws . they allow abortion in cases of rape and incest, and also to preserve women's mental health. pro abortion. campaigners say, such restrictive laws drive women to have unsafe abortions in ivory coast, nearly 9 percent of women who died during pregnancy. do so as a result of a botched procedure. while joining us now from beneath capital potent over is a gray asi seconds. she is the chairperson of the network of women leaders for development. a great, thank you for your time. now, given the approach to abortion across the rest of the region that we've just described there, what's actually prompted this particular change and benign? thank you, ma'am. i've reserved this law was or existed in 2003. the fall was like it yesterday and

9:20 pm
me are going to me or the actual of n g o o as b, i'm really fine. mm. well, congratulations. i know this is something that you've been pushing for. i'm curious . do you think that other african country is may now follow beneath example, i know that there's a large proportion of maternal deaths in the region. are down to botched abortions? yes, yes. the other countries, i may follow our example because we, we are on needs it and through the vision all along, act on so social in the see the society we can do it today is our reality. so the other countries can do. it's also
9:21 pm
a gray. we know that laws don't actually necessarily mean that they're reflective, that they're going to be implemented, nor that they might change public opinion. do you think this specific legal shift will mean more women will actually have access to safe abortions? in reality? yes, yes i asked us to i'm barshan b r e n d because are many women a and now when just when i went into i went in on the go the, the actual total and, and to give them a garden go, i know i think that is our reality, our gray, a large number of countries in the region have relatively conservative populations
9:22 pm
. do you think changing laws on abortion will change views on abortion or will women potentially still have to seek other more secret roots? i think that the i dare are not amplified. they're actually they have to look into do many and some there's clearly some ways to go, but congratulations on getting this law passed and the civil society initiatives that away don't see it 2nd near the chairperson and the network of women leaders for development. thanks for joining us. now, 1000000000 doses of coven 19 vaccines had now been administered in india. the government once the entire population immunized by the end of this year. and it's also started exporting vaccines again as production there as being ramped up. but
9:23 pm
still in parts of europe, the reluctance to get an oc elated as pumping a surge and infections, as bennett smith reports by finding its health workers across some of the remotest parts of the country. india has now given at least one dose of cobit 19 vaccine to 3 quarters of its 1380000000 population prime minister, nor, and remote. he visited a new daily hospital to celebrate the billionth dose, but only 31 percent of had 2 doses. there is a certain degree of apathy, as well as the feeling, but the worst as fast as there is no for the rest. so many people are not really going in for the 2nd dose, straight away. in years, sitting on vaccines, stock of a 100000000 doses and has recently started exporting again, it's africa where they're needed less than 5 percent of the continents population has been vaccinated. the world health organization says that could mean the pandemic goes on for a year longer than it needs to developing countries should not have to wait for the

9:25 pm
i believe that russia sits around that sample with a complete immunization series. that's similar to what we're seeing in other countries like romania, i'm bulgaria, the u. k. as more cases than france, germany, italy in spain combined. and poland is also facing a significant rise and affections now at $5000.00 a day, which may require a drastic action just as the continent heads towards winter. bernard smith al jazeera, was coven 19 numbers also increase in the u. k. jenna hall has moved from london code with 1900, making a pretty significant come back here in england. particularly infection numbers have been rising throughout october, hitting in fact 52000 on thursday and they're ologist along with the health secretary have been warning that they could hit a 100000 during the course of this winter. death numbers are already where they were in march, but remember, then the country was locked down. now,
9:26 pm
7 months later old meaningful mitigations have been lifted. for some time people largely going about their lives as if it was all over. well, it's not, of course the protection conferred by the double vaccine jobs is waning, particularly in old age groups. the booster program isn't going all that well. and the 2 main unions representing doctors and medical staff of insisted that the go when so called plan b be instituted instantly bringing in a new range of mitigations. well, that's not going to happen. prime minister barak johnson said that while numbers were going up, they were going up within the parameters of expectations as set out by the government's modelers. he says, we're going into this winter vastly better prepared than we went into last. well, this is a government that just a week ago in a parliamentary report was lam basted for a string of failures during the early phase of the pandemic. and once again, from a variety of quarters, it's being accused of not acting swiftly enough of failing to learn the lessons of
