for us. as family members of those forcibly disappeared the detainees, the missing our loved ones who were killed by the regime. justice will 1st be complete when we know their fate, when the dream for which they went to demonstrate in the 1st place is achieved. that syria becomes a democracy or a state of justice, a state of equality as our hester shirts, and certainly does in design know us. it matters a lot to me because i have a feeling that justice is starting to open its doors. it's a small step towards justice that we hope will be re holding all those who committed violations. those criminals were killed. my son who killed a syrian youth accountable. now daddy and where russell was found. guilty of murder, torture re pansy. the charges, prosecutors say he personally oversaw the murderers of 58 people, the torture of more than 4000 others in 20112012. brutal acts were carried out at the isle hottie prison, damascus,

also known as hell on earth. the conviction in this landmark case was made possible thanks to germany's universal jurisdiction laws. well, it fits his senior policy officer, it opens society justice initiative. he says the verdict springs some justice to the victims for some victims of systematic torture. in charlotte, syria, this will bring some measure of justice, some measure of solace. germany has the ability to prosecute crimes that crimes against humanity and war crimes that happened outside of its territory . under the principle of universal jurisdiction. the information came to the attention of the authorities and my son was, was recognized by some of the victims of torture branch, 251 where he led intelligence operations and really over saw the

regime of torture in that intelligence branch. and once that information was brought to the authorities, there was a tremendous effort by syrian activists and civil society to collect information and bring that to prosecutors with the help of some international n jose. and this trial really validates those efforts over over several years now. to a, to hold one well, really the most senior official today from the government of charlotte side to, to account for the torture of over 4000 people. breaking news out of the dawn were security forces of shot and killed protesting. this comes ours, after a senior military official was killed, showing a demonstration in cartoon, thousands suits of the straits against the crew that has plunged the country into

political deadlock. have been in ports of multiple injuries, protested once military leaders, and to return to civilian governments. let's get more from home and fall. he joins his life on the seat in these capital work. he tell us about this latest fatality a protest are killed and of course a member of the police killed. awesome. yes. hollow the what esther has been killed in the city of bar, which is one of the 3 cities composing the. so then his capital, and that came one or 2 hours after the announcement of the death or the killing of dr. brigadier in police. and the police announcement did not give many details. it announced the death of his high ranking officer and condolences to his family into the nation. and he said that he was killed during, during his duties, trying to protect the protest of interestingly. but the announcement did not point

a finger of accusation to anyone. that's interesting. the speculations about about who did this i was, i managed to talk to some of the testers. all that is this was committees. and they denied categorically denied any involvement in this coming and they said their history is clear. they have never carried knives or weapons during the demonstrations and nothing has changed in that respect. however, there are fears that ah, could be 3rd party or could be a plot to change the, the year the, the direction of these protests. these processes have always been so far have always been a peaceful despite the high number of report as those that have been killed. now, over of a 60, some slur october 25th, a fears among the sudanese that this could derail, or the home or the whole conflict or into some dangerous directions and

create problems for the country with everything problems that could create more problems. indeed, because this is of course, a very fibro situation in c done, of the process of searing the country towards some kinds of civilian rule. it's further from now than ever. marriage. it just give us a sense of how you think this is going to impact the ongoing situation and just tell us what things are like. can see down right now. i think we have lost the connection to mohammed val. i will try and bring you an update on this story or in the news or which begins 18 hundreds, a g, m c. but that was mohammed fall there bring us up states from the city in these capital. after that breaking ye say, protest her has been killed after

a police officer. it was also killed during the ongoing protests. ah, yes, president joe biden says, additional military medical personnel are being deployed stout staff hospitals across the country. he says the government is also acquiring more cove at 19 tests . it comes as hospitalizations reach in all time high. and the health system struggles with shortages of frontline workers, thousands of federal medical personnel have already been sent to state struggling with the keats stuffing shortages. it's been a long road, but what's clear as we get through this when everybody does their par, no matter where you live, no matter your political party, we've got to fight this together. unfortunately, our military stepping up as they always do. they're either sitting on the side much

and we're standing in the way we haven't gotten vaccinated, do it, elizabeth, and carries associate professor of american studies on political science at george washington university. she says, the owner can variance is only one part of the problem behind the latest search. the problem is definitely with the administration, it has been slow to respond. it gets out conflicting messages. of the problem is also with the us health care system. on the one hand, we have a lot of it is regulated at the local level, so you might have mask mandates in one city and then the next city over doesn't have mask mandates and that's incredibly confusing for people. and i think last and really importantly, is that so much of the us health care system is outside of the federal government. it is privatized, it is for profit. so having the government coordinate everything is, is quite difficult given that so much of our health care is not meant to be coordinated at this level. so the biden administration has to overcome

a lot like deploying the military even just to get doctors and nurses the support that they need. but part of what we see biden's challenge is that he has not coordinated the federal response in the way that i think a lot of people would have liked, for instance, getting masks out earlier, getting testing out early or even deploying 1000000000 tests is really only a little more than 2 tests per member of the u. s. population, and that's not enough for people when they feel sick or when they're not sure if they've been exposed. so we need a lot more ramping up. and they also think the bargaining ministration has to do a lot more to counter act, the really strong anti vaccine anti vaccination movement in the united states. the fact that so many people still don't even believe that cove it exists. it's seriously problematic in one place. they can step teachers in france of walked off the job and a nationwide strikes protest against the government's handling of corona virus. they say the measures in place don't go far enough to protect them from this. one

of the countries was affected by the on the con, variance in europe. the number of infections is increased by around 45 percent in the last week. it's ayesha butler has more from the rally in paris. hi, justice. i've been telling us that they are very upset indeed with the french government covey rules in schools. now they're not against restrictions in schools, but what they say is that the rules that have been put in place, or too complicated or unmanageable. and what small are they all they say putting them at risk in the classroom even more of the virus than in previous months. they say it, especially, that's difficult at a time when the viruses circulating so widely in france were having nearly records a daily new kind of infection rates here in france. now they want simpler roles, clear roles. they want more time to be able to put any new measures in place. they

say at the moment that's just not what not happening. they also want things like more masks, more protective measures, but schools are still open and that is, well, that's one of the main reason for government says that it is necessary to put these rules in place because what the government all saying is good from the beginning of this pandemic, they have made it a priority to keep schools opened or worried by education. they're worried about young people and their futures. they say it's essential the schools remain open and in fact, the prime ministers on capstone has actually just announced just a few moments ago that he will meet a trade unions leaders. he'll meet teachers to try and talk about how perhaps the situation in court schools can be improved. so it is easier for teachers and say that they feel more protected. i had such a difficult and vulnerable time here, oscillation, period in england for people with cove at 19 as being reduce. the british al secretary says that starting next week, those in quarantine where we're able to get out of isolation after 5 days. if their
