and in spain, warning bells sounded as more and more people leave rural areas. this is ah or across the world tributes have been flowing for antea party hero. archbishop desmond tutu who has died at the age of 90. 2 to rose to prominence in the 1980s is a vocal opponent of racial segregation and white minority rule. he was appointed the 1st black archbishop of cape town, most senior clerical position in the country, noble peace laureate, continued to speak out against inequality and poverty in south africa and build joan hull expected, his life, his discipline, to, to hearing the news that nelson mandela would soon be released. he was sold and one

to contain his feelings. it judged triggered me off this to twos responses, head of south africa's truth and reconciliation commission. on hearing details of atrocities committed by both sides. if update is not dismantled, then we'll go to the black button. desmond and pillow too too was born in a mining town outside. johanna's book, at a time of strict segregation, things would get much worse. as he grew up to 2 was 17. when the national party came to power in 1948, racial inequality became law apartheid censure. he wanted to be a doctor, but became a teacher instead witnessing 1st hand the government's policy of depriving black south africans of education, consigning them to servitude. and the protests that followed the show like the sharp fil massacre. in 196059 people were killed and most of them were short in the

best as you're running away, protesting against the passionate. i remember as a moment when you realize that black life was cheap, the to, to must have thought he could do more in the church. he joined the clergy eventually obtaining high anglican office as dean of johannesburg. and later archbishop of cape town, it propelled him into the public eye as an unflinching moral voice. why our struggle is way to succeed. is lot just because of number i believe made was a big because it is a josh by 984 desmond to to had one global admiration. he was awarded the nobel peace prize. it was the kind of recognition that south africa's anti

apartheid movement needed to become a global force for a very, very long time. i. i did hope that the world would, would hear a pretty and that is why we were to apply a sanctions. archbishop desmond tutu, was one of the world's foremost human rights campaign. as an active member of the elders in the cause of world peace remembered as much for his unremitting optimism . an infectious laugh. when he introduced nelson mandela of south africa's new president in 1994 to 2 recalled that he whispered to god, if i die now, it would be almost the perfect moment. someone up there must really have been on our side or bedding for us. when mandela died, many worried that south africa had lost its moral compass. they may now wonder whether it's lost its guiding light. yes. south african presidency ran,

a poser has been tank, paying tribute to archbishop to, to as well an address to the nation. we have lost the person who carried the burden of leadership with compassion, with dignity, with humility, and with such good humour. we are comforted in the knowledge that he has left an indelible mark in the lives of millions of people who had the privilege and honor of knowing him. like many of his time, he was a witness to the gravest justices and most intolerable cruelty that our country has ever witness. hello, over the course of the day, relatives have been visiting to choose home in cape town. gillian wolf was that

will the significance of the building behind me is that it is desmond to choose home. and it's where he's been living for several decades. but it also represents exactly what he was fighting against and that a segregation. this was always an only white neighbourhood until desmond tutu moved here, post a part hide in the ninety's when he retired. as archbishop now been speaking to the family members that have been trickling in to mourn, to offer their moral support and also to make arrangements for the days ahead. and i spoke to his daughter on tone b and i asked her what it was like to grow up with a freedom fighter as her father. and she spoke so fondly about their relationship. she told me that he really, he really tried to instill a sense of a boon to within the family unit. and all that is the idea of a shared humanity for one another to hold respect for one another to really have

god live within you. and so that they shared that within the family unit, and then of course the community and that is how he treated everybody to this day. i also asked her about the future leadership of south africa as it seems that this is one of the last iconic leaders and to, to pass away. and this is what she had to say. i always remind people that, you know, my dad was a grown man by the time the world knew of him and man with, with grandchildren. so that when i look at the young people of south africa today, i have great hope for the kind of leadership that our country needs. i see that our country actually has besides, of course, how south africa and the rest of the world will honor his legacy. i asked her how her and her family will commemorate him, and she said that they will include both traditions of the family that close tradition and the christian values. and that is they would,

they would let their ancestors know that he is on the way. and they would ask him to make him welcome and then of course, in the christian side, they would hold prayers and services every day until the official state funeral is held to earlier i spoke to reverend professor peter story, who is a friend of archbishop to, to for 35 years told me the to choose religious beliefs in his spirituality, with a foundation of his fight for justice. we live in a secular age and so people may be find it a little difficult to, to understand somebody who is essentially a biblical profit. somebody whose passion for justice, passion for, for tenderness, passion for humanity. these things, these things rose, not from some ideology but from a deep, deep spirituality and

a deep sense of the nature of god. and that every single human being is precious in the sight of god. he said, i only have one sermon and that is that we're all made in the image of god that god loves us. and we need to love each other. and he lived that way and everything he did came out of that passion. that's where it came from. and it was, it, it was, it was fueled by a remarkable life of prayer. when i 1st met him, he was kneeling in the corner, a room covered with a sheet at 4 in the morning. i woke up and saw him crying. when we travelled together, he prayed whenever the moment came, no matter what we were doing and where we were. when we were in a desperate situation and told that we were going to be shot. and we managed to survive, that. he began to pray while he was driving the car back to johannesburg, i had told the wheel because his eyes were close. it was that deep sense of

intimacy with god and certainty, but god's justice would prevail. that's what was at the heart of desmond as i knew him. ah, the united nations is saying that it's horrified by reports of a mass killing and me and mar i. it's groups of accuser, military of carrying out a massacre. after a child remains of $38.00 people found in kaya state witness essays civilians, including children, were rounded up and shot a tack as thought to be in retribution after military patrols came under attack from armed ethnic groups. tony chang has more on the story now. trucks burn at the end of a dirt track in kaya state, southern myanmar. after the fires have died down, or the videos show charred bodies in the record, larry $38.00 people who are you, including women and children,

an improvised reactive way of engaging with the crises in the horn. and in all of this, we really don't see the kind of influence from the european union, the u. k. or the united states that we, we have seen in the past few decades in this part of the world. they just don't seem to be the primary international actors anymore. across the region, promises of democracy have been delayed. millions of people remain displaced by conflicts. malcolm web al jazeera withholding developments in brazil where thousands of people have been displaced in the northern part of the country because of major flooding there to dams of given way in the northeastern state of bar here . after weeks of heavy rains, dozens of homes, roads, and bridges have been damaged. officials say the state is received 5 times the
