3:24 am
that after 12 months of rights violations, and the targeting of civilians by me and mass military, that they're still able to freely buy more weapons, more guns, and more bullets which they're using against their country civilians. the report calls for that. i mean there's, there's plenty here for the united nations security council to address, i think the people of me and mar, expect that though, that, that this will be addressed by the un security council. and i think the very confused as to why it is that when this been report after report from the u. n. documenting egregious human rights violations against ordinary people, civilians, children, that there hasn't been stronger action by the security council. hi, court judges in the indian state of karnataka have upheld a headscarf band in schools and colleges. students and muslin groups say they will take the case to the supreme court, elizabeth moran and report from the w. b. y students in the southern
