3 narrative australians went to the polls with those images front of mine is a war very much going for it out in the media as well on the battlefield. they're listening page to dissect the media on al jazeera. there's a wave of sentiment around the world. people actually want accountability from the people who are running their countries and i think often people's voice is not heard because they're just not part of the mainstream news narrative. obviously we cover the big stories and report from the big events to going on. but we also tell the stories of people who generally don't have a voice. and whenever chance my dad never be afraid to put your hand up and ask a question. and i think that's what actually really does. we ask the question to people who should be accountable and also we get people to give their view of what's going on. ah, this is al jazeera ah,

hello, hello robin, you're watching the else. is there a news? i live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. we will defend every inch of nato church or every inch of nato territory. here as president joe biden says, nato is more united than ever as he wraps up a historic summit in madrid. also, russia says it's pulled out troops from ukraine snake island to la gray. next fort, ukraine calls it a victory. 5 people to kill those police and sit on, cut down the gates, protested, calling for an end to military rule. and a divisive dentistry completes as political come back in the philippines asserted. and marcos junior is sworn in as president and then sport jasper brown, moran has been named india captain for the birmingham task against england. by doing so. hell become the 1st fastball or to leave the country since 1987.

ah, welcome to the news us stronger, bigger and more united that see image of solidarity projected by natalie does. on the final day of a summit in madrid, combating russia for invasion of ukraine has dominated those talks that been pledges to boost defense spending and significantly increase america's military presence in europe. and the attack on one as an attack on all i, we will defend every ish of nato territory. every edge of nato territory, for our part, united states is doing exactly what i said to reduce it fruit and invaded it hatch our forest posture. and your will station more ship said here in spain, where station, the more air defense in italy and germany more f, 30 fives the united kingdom and to strengthen our eastern flag. no permanent

headquarters. there are a 5th gore in poland, and walla summit was ongoing. russia said it's withdrawn forces from snake highland, a strategic ukrainian outpost in the black sea. now the company says it's a gesture of goodwill to law, the export of grain stock in ukrainian ports. but keith is calling it a victory as a result of its counter offensive. turkey has been pushing for a cease fire and is expected to play an important role in negotiating a safe passage for ships carrying that grain. well, that's cause i would to madrid now are diplomat together to james base is standing by and james, your president button very clear on nato's role. and the u. s. is role within it and especially the support for new members that want to join. yes, a very strong message coming from the us president bank, i think by all of the other members of nato, all of the 30 members of the alliance, they believe they have strengthened themselves. they believe they've strength from that position against russia. and they believe they're on the path very soon to

becoming not 30 allies, but 32 allies with sweden and finland now formally invited, going to have accession protocols signed on tuesday. all not one vote. watch this space a little carefully, because in the last hour we've been this thing to the turkish leda, president, tuan, and he has said, yes, i've agreed to this thoughts. there's a rectification process that has to happen in every single nature. member in turkey has to be done by the turkish parliament and he made it clear that there are all sorts of things he believes have been agreed by swin sweden and finland. and if they're not all delivered, then he hinted. and it was pretty clear that he was a meant this, then the turkish parliament may not ratify that membership. so maybe although took his agreed still looking at this very closely and he's going to make sure it gets exactly what it wants. there was a great deal of focus,

james on the turkish president today promoting dialogue in negotiating or trying to find a way for both russia and ukraine to, you know, i say, find a way forward in terms of peace. wilson access certainly to those grain stoles, which are very important, getting them out of ukraine. snake island became a very big fact that today, and you will have the chance to speak to the president. yeah, i mean, this is something that's been worked on for some considerable time now by the united nations. in fact, most graphics is the monitor in chief of the you and has been dealing with getting the grain out of ukraine. rebecca greenspan, who's the head of oak, todd, which is a trade body of you, and has been dealing with the russians to see if they find a way to get russian grain and fertilizer back to world markets. and they've been working very closely with turkey because the turkish navy would play a key role under this plan. it would score the ships through the black sea. now snake island is in the black sea. it's badly populated,

but it's strategically important. and what has happened in recent hours is that ukraine said it's retaken snake island. we now hear from russia know we relinquish state island and we moved our forces away and we did it as a gesture, goodwill. as part of this deal, important part of this jigsaw. so how close are we to that deal actually being signed? i believe they'll be in the the plan is for signing ceremony in a stumble while i asked the turkish president, get a same put in whether it be mr. newton or mr. zalinski, i believe this weekend or the beginning of the next week. we will continue our telephone diplomacy. there is already a roadmap that's emerging and after having talked to them as soon as possible, we will render this corridor operational. we have about 20 ships, docked in the region, and with the ships we're going to transport the ukrainian grain out of the ports. so pretty tight timeline if this all goes to plan. and of course, in the end, the key person that has to say, yes is president putin. but if

a further phone calls between president to go on and president putin, either this weekend or the beginning of next week, you could have that signing ceremony in his temple in days. and then potentially, you could have the grain coming out of the port with un inspectors, we believe will be inspecting the ships that will come in to get the grain to make sure that not bringing weapons in. and then the turkish navy taken them out through the black sea. it's something that really could help people way beyond ukraine. it could help, could help alleviate some of the global food crisis. it's not a done deal yet though. change. they are diplomatic, added to that in madrid. thank you. james. the experts say the war in ukraine has become a virtual testing ground for russian and ukraine and experiments inside the wolf. and this will have implications, a global security, as charles transferred reports now from keith. this is a hidden front line between russia and ukraine frontline of cyber espionage and

cyber war. some of the blood faces of russians who ukraine and it's western beckers are trying to trace for allegedly committing war crimes. russian crypto currency transactions are also being monitored. we're analyzing the movement of russian digital assets. she says, the black circles or the crypto wallets of those registered on the block chain. the yellow circles of the crypto exchanges. we know crypto carnes. he helps finance the killing of all soldiers civilians. she says, which outgrow since the beginning of the year. they have been 47 major and to ukraine. cyber campaigns. 44 of them happened since the invasion. i'm talking about campaigns. i mean multiple attacks against governmental bodies, the private sector, internet providers and telecommunication companies. experts say roches cyber warfare aims at undermining public confidence in ukraine's leadership. it also target sectors involved in the movement of military personnel, equipment, money,

and people. they say the attacks began accelerating after moscow's annexation of crimea in 2014, but have grown more aggressive in recent months. the attacks include a february, the 10th attempted hack of at least $21.00 companies involved in the production and distribution of liquefied natural gas than the day before the invasion, february 23rd, there was a so called wiper attack, toxic various ukrainian government ministries were calling him alexei, to hide his identity, he's one of what's estimated to be thousands of ukrainians working for the governments and private sector, or is volunteers in the so called cyber army, a loose network of hackers that have appeared since the start of the war. alexei is involved in both defensive and offensive operations. he claims to have helped in an attack on one of russia's biggest banks, kept going on. i got on the se, but bank website was hacked so badly that even the company shares crashed. other

specialist concentrate on crucial russian infrastructure. they found access to rush and video surveillance communication navigation system. as an attack on the russian aviation industry was a strong that the switch to paper documentation where they wiped out approximately 70 terabytes of information. ukraine gets millions of dollars worth of cybersecurity assistance from western intelligence agencies, private contractors, and international companies including microsoft and cisco. a widely feared russian cyber attack on ukraine with so called spillover effects, and global consequences hasn't happened. poor russian cyber offense, good ukrainian, defense, some expert, se, but the war and ukraine has become an experiment in cyber warfare on an unprecedented scale. char stratford, al jazeera keith, no russia's parliament, as approved a bill, it'll make it easier to shut down. foreign media offices. the legislation will now be sent to present. vladimir putin hillside is into law. since the start of the

ukraine will moscow has accused western countries of restricting russian media by banning its operations on denying visas to its journalists. well, plenty more had here. all the news are including will be life or outside the u. s. supreme court, where history is about to be made. and that stage is set for israel's 5th general election in less than 4 years. and in sport, we'll hear from the tennis world. number 2, who's aiming to win her 1st grand slam title at wimbledon. ah, negotiations to put libya on a path to long awaited presidential elections have ended in geneva deal and had been pushing the heads of libby as 2 rival parliaments to agree on a plan to hold a free fair and inclusive vote. but a spokesperson says there has been little progress because of

a disagreement over eligibility requirements for potential candidates. ro, challenz has more from geneva. well, it's all ended with a bit of a whimper, really. and you can tell us, i suppose that the sense of disappointment there is here in geneva at the lack of ability to come to a proper breakthrough in these discussions by the fact that there has been no press conference set. the ends. there is not yet any official statements from the united nations. the 2 rival parliaments and their delicate delegates have left. and that is that for the moments that essentially what it boils down to was a disagreement over heavy for half. who is the, the renegades military figure? he marched on tripoli in 2019. he is a very controversial polarizing person within the libyan political landscape.

the talk about whether or not dual citizen should be allowed to stand for the presidential elections if, when they are arranged, that is all about half the basically he is a jewel libyan american citizen. the high state council, one of the poems that was negotiating here, they radio one half to ought to be able to stand in the elections. the house of representatives has an alliance of sorts with hafta. and they were trying to make it at least possible, that he could become the next president of libya in geneva. prominent international journalists associations have held a press conference on the killing of al jazeera, joined the showing of well, actually, she was shot to the head by israeli security forces. while on assignment, janine, the managing director of out of their english was amongst those outlining steps. taken to bring the perpetrators to account. now communication to the i. c,

prosecutor, we submit that the targeting of individual journalists give rise to reasonable grounds to suspect that the idea of commanders and soldiers have committed war crimes of winful killing and wilfully who's in serious injuries to but is our house . and the, regarding the target in an air strike committed against the the towers. we say that, that reasonable ground to conclude that they constitute war crowns. attack in civilian population and attacking protected objects, justice and cannot only be applied all to suit when it's politically expedient. and justice should be equal and you know, across all all cases and not just when it suits certain parties and but al jazeera is committed to continuing and supporting the family and doing what we can am in

all avenues to pursue justice and accountability over the killing of sharing politicians in israel have voted to dissolve parliament, sending the country to the polls for the 5th time in less than 4 years with tommy bennett has served any one year as prime minister. he says he won't run again for the for the november. the 1st vote by the smith has moved west jerusalem. israel is most politically diverse. coalition government lasted just a year. parties including the hard right liberals. and for the 1st time palestinian israelis had come together with wanting to end. benjamin netanyahu is 12 consecutive years as prime minister. i had at yahoo is currently on trial for corruption. with the far right and ultra orthodox allies, he engineered the failure to renew a measure that allows jewish settlers in the occupied westbank to live under israeli law. now netanyahu has promised to win

a 6 term in office to be or not to be. that has been the only question for for elections. that will be the only issue for a 5th. i'm sorry if it makes us railey look shallow, that they don't deal with a piece process security, iran matters and religion that none of those issues came up in the 1st 4 elections . so i don't expect the 5th to be any different. the new caretaker prime minister is a centrist yala, p. this form a television celebrity replaces natalie bennet. le pete has cast netanyahu's potential return to office as a national threat because he's been running a very good campaign for less, you know, 8 or 10 years, which is he's not going to go with it. and you know, he's a replacement with ya. he didn't fall into that trap, and now all the time is running the negative campaign of we're going to have a disaster if you're le peters prime minister. while surprise, he's the prime minister. he will be the prime minister in a few days and therefore as long as this guy doesn't fall in those 4 months,

then people will be able to expect the feed is a reasonable prime minister. even with a centrist care, take a prime minister, there's not likely to be any progress in talks with the palestinians behind law paid. there is still bennett who was opposed to any idea of a palestinian state netanyahu's. they could party leads the polls, but it wouldn't win enough seats to form a governing majority. the next election could end up being the 1st in a series, as israel heads into another period of political instability. bernard smith, al jazeera west jerusalem. lisa protest as a been shot dead by police in sudan. thousands of been out on the streets of the capital car to him calling for return to civilian rule. on wednesday, a 15 year old boy was shot dead during similar protests. more than 100 people had been killed during crackdowns in the military seized power. last october, hippa morgan has more from the capital. while protesters have been taken to the

streets regularly since the military took over power last october. this day, june 30th is significant for them because it marks the 33rd anniversary of the crew that brought form of president dominate bashir to power in 1989. now protested state that when they started the revolution in december 2018, it was to overthrow bashir and members of his former ruling party. but they say that since i general ogden put the humble hon. took overpower, he started bringing back senior members or loyalists to the former ruling party, so they feel that their revolution is incomplete, which is why thousands took to the streets on 1st day. now at least for word killed in the city of undermine where thousands of protesters came out. there were many injuries here and for tomb where we are right now. we saw people being driven on motor bikes, many of them having head injuries, some of them having suffocated from the tier guys that were used by security forces . and we've heard live ammunition is being fired by security for says more than 100

protesters have been killed and similar anti military protests. hundreds of others have been injured, but that hasn't stopped the protesters. politically, there has been no breakthrough despite the fact that the united nations, the african union and the regional i guys have been trying to facilitate talks between the political parties. pro democracy groups have boycotted the talks which has led to its suspension. while others say that there has been some kind of an exclusion of major groups. so it looks like this. facilitation of talked other talks and the dialogues that the you and trying to facilitate is proven to be difficult to bring about a political consensus. now people on the streets here say, regardless of what the outcome of that of those talks are. because it involves the military, they don't recognize it, and they will continue to protest and take to the streets until the military is completely removed from to dance politics and a civilian government is in place. in just an attendee brown, jackson will become the 1st blank woman. as a judge on the u. s. supreme court,

the 51 year old will take the seat of retiring judge stephen bryan, whom she won't work for as a law clerk. now, jackson will be sworn in as a controversial time tensions remain high. falling recent rulings on abortion and gun laws shall hindrance is falling on for so my side, the u. s. supreme court and john, we're really historic day for the supreme court. just talk us through the timeline . yeah, this is a historic day. this is the 1st time a black woman will be on the u. s. supreme court and it also marks the 1st time when a majority of justice is will not be white. men are now for women for white men and of course clarence thomas, a black man on that court as well. so it increases the diversity of the court in 2 different ways. but it does happen at a time when the court is under increasing disrepute for reliably ideological decisions. conservative decisions in a 6 to 3 conservative majority court and kitch,

angie brown. jackson will not change that. she's going to be among the 3 liberal justices. and we have seen again today a 6 to 3 ruling. i'll talk about that a little later that just confirms the reliable ideological approach. this seems to be taking the abortion decision with a leak ahead of time. that was the decision to overturn roe vs wade. 1973, right, to abortion. and then of course, when that decision came out, it his raw controversy across the u. s. overturning 50 years of president and president biden said, just today that he would be willing to get rid of the filibuster in the senate. that requires a super majority just for that vote. so that they could codify the right to abortion. here in congress, he said the court has gone too far. well, of course, she just mentioned that there was some pretty important decisions made on friday to

main cases remained in the supreme court. one seems to potentially been resolved one was a great victory for joe biden because it had its, his name on it. that was biden versus texas biden. wanted to overturn the trump. you're a policy called remain in mexico, where a lot of immigrants had to stay at migrant camps in mexico. critic said that was in humane both because there's because of the conditions of those camps and the fact that it left them open to violence and crime. the court ruling with biden, in this case, gives him more discretion to decide where immigrants can go, whether they come into the country or not. but the administration launched an important case that could have long repercussions. that was the state of west virginia versus the environmental protection. agency, and that was one that was pushed by coal plants and it would day, it required coal plants to be more deeply regulated. and the court said, no,

this is done under the clean air act which was passed in 1970 back then. it wasn't specifically authorizing that agency to regulate carbon dioxide. we didn't have the same global warming concerns, and the court said, no, you need a specific authorization to do that. and the reason that is important because it could apply to other agencies requiring them to have more specific authorization from congress to do anything the administration wants. so what it does is shift power from the federal government to the state governments who now can challenge regulatory action asked, or regulatory action in the court, so split with for the by the ministration winning one and losing another one. they could have big repercussions, of course, we'll be dipping in back with you later in the dance we see content you by, jackson, take her out of officer on the supreme court later, john henry force in washington, dc. well certain, and marcus junior has been sworn in as the president of the philippines. marcos won

a landslide victory and elections in maine. he's the son of a former president who many regard as a dictator. jamila and duncan has more from manila, he buried in an room either after more than 30 years. the rehabilitation of the marcus name in the philippines is nearly completed. gussie bongo markers, junior, the only son in name sake of the country is late dictator, is now its next president after winning and then president it 3rd to $1000000.00 votes. the market is, are considered one of the most infamous political families in asia, and their name has long been synonymous with decadence and abuse of power. they ruled the philippines from 1965 until 1986 when they were ousted through a people power revolution. the president of the republic, oh boy, philippines, his inauguration and thursday is noticeably more grand than those of his predecessors, aquino,

and the 10th day. there is more parade and pomp than usual. but his speech focused less on the style j and more on reconciliation, which we will build, but better by doing things in the lives of the experiences that we of hug both good and bug. it doesn't bother, no looking, bargain, anger, or nostalgia in the road ahead. the immediate months will be rough, but i will walk that road with you. the marcus resurgence is the result of a decades long well funded campaign to revise history in this year's election online propaganda coupled with the marcus families, vast wealth and their alliance with the charity, by the way, 1st presidency. but his administration is expected to face a tough road ahead. the country is facing its worst economic crisis and decades. its education and public health systems are in shambles,

and society is deeply polarized across the capitol. several activists have been arrested by police an all too familiar scene during his father's regime. but historian say, although the past has a way of catching up with the present, the conscious future on their mark as junior has yet to be written. and so there is little choice, but to give it a chance to unfold, jamal alan, dog and al jazeera manila, also had here all the nissan celebrations in the democratic republic of congo. as the remains of a national hero reached a final resting place. and we'll tell you why bangladesh husband entry into the world's largest mangrove forest, also in sport, hockey suddenly cut trophy has started self in an unfamiliar setting. up those details. ah,

richard, he has begun the faithful world. carp is on its way to the castle. brooke, you will travel package to the hello there was got in the middle east, and the van em seems very wet weather affect northern areas of turkey, and that's caused some flooding. but the good news is we are going to see that start to push further east that will dry up and temperatures are set to pick up. temperatures remain high, however, for much of iraq west in iran, as well as q wait for the south. this is the wind that stealing the show gas, gusty winds, kicking up a lot of dust affecting visibility winds as well blowing along coastal areas of yemen and oman, keeping things cool in places like stella for the wet weather. we've got a few showers tickling the coast of saudi arabia and yemen, edging into the ethiopian highlands. but it remains rather dry for much of the horn of africa. where, where there can be found to the west was seen fierce thunderstorms breakout for southern molly as well as one eye gere where we have seen flooding. we could see

more of that now across southern africa, within lots a cloud lingering along that east coast. showers enters them barb where an mozambique and we'll see the wet weather work its way into cape town. by the time we get into the we can knocking the temperature down here as well as in johannesburg, clear skies. we have a look at the 3 day. plenty of sunshine, but rather cold, especially at night. official airlines of the journey. frank assessments, it sounds like you don't expect anything to change the problem in lebanon. it's actually structural lebanon needs, and you also contract in order for it to solve this problem. informed opinions, international communities on the go security community, a government needs to be in depth analysis of the dates, global headlines. this is going to be very hard to explain to the public that instead of pushing back, no,

it's actually got to the members inside story on al jazeera. ah, a with, with i was about you're watching out there with me. so robin a reminder of our top story,

i protested to be shot dead by security, falls in and sit on capitol cartoon. thousands of people are protesting against ongoing military rule in the country. they're calling for a return to civilian room, and the reversal of laughter is military takeover. present, joe biden is called on the world to stand behind ukraine. at the close of the natives summit in madrid, he said the military alliance will defend every inch of its territory. and russia says its forces have withdrawn from ukraine strategic outpost in the black sea. st . highland the kremlin says it pulled out as a gesture of goodwill to help you and explore grain from ukraine. ment comes after ukraine law. several raids on russian forces on the island. well, this has been strategically important the both sides, since the conflict began because this rocky are posed on the black sea has significant hydrocarbon resources. it sits on a busy shipping lane to ukraine's largest seaport. odessa and other black sea ports

. it's occupation allowed russia to control that access. now the island is just 45 kilometers away from romania and a to member of russia had deployed its long range as 400 missile system on the island. it would have been in a position to control the air space for the entire western black sea region. semi boris, join me now. he's a senior fellow at urban security and hybrid wolf at the international institute for strategic studies. and he was also a sci fi monitor in easton, ukraine, join me by zoom from london. good talk with us on the program. a strategic withdrawal of russian is saying, or a military victory as the ukrainians would like to have it. how do you see this move? oh, thanks very much for having me, sir hale, it's a mixture. hold of these things. i think ultimately, it's an indefensible position for the russians to hold may be at the start of the invasion. the russians thought they might have reached as far as the vesa by now in

land in ukraine. but of course, and i went near there as far as castle. so the snake island territory is not something that they can defend. it's really embarrassing for russia it's, i have to give this up and i think the russian defense ministry statement is really dressing out that embarrassment. but just one other point on the romania proximity that you mentioned really, really important. i mean, this is so close to a night say member state. the one can imagine if there is actually wind behind the sales of ukrainian counter offensive that snake con and b, b would be re taken very quickly. so maybe the russians have a thought to head on this yet, perhaps it is a breakthrough for ukraine to get it straightened out. and perhaps to your understanding is it's just full merchant vessels at the moment. and what happens if ukrainian naval vessels military vessels start using the waterways up them a threat in some shape or form to russia? will they respond? yeah, i think if the ukranian navy, which isn't a particularly large navy to pick them with the start to amounts operations

controls, then it's possible the russians could attack kit. i mean, i think everyone remembers snake islands infamous incident of the very stall to this asian with a moskva, these are the russian cruiser which has since been sunk. so there has been a weakening of rush is a naval presence in the sea. so i think where it's, it's now, another question is the extent to which there is space become a traffic to travel. and that, of course, is one of the big of exporting ukrainian grain, said to marcus, around the world. of course, in amongst all of that, you know, you just mentioned the mosque of, of being sunk early in the campaign. i mean, russia has had to now strategically rethink the way it deployed its naval force because it still wants to maintain that you might say power that it has towards the east dumbass look hands and make sure that the coastline to those areas are still secure. certainly for its long term aims, which seems to be full control of the eastern side of ukraine.

yeah, that's absolutely right. then there's a couple of points that one of which is about russian access to the black sea. and the critical of the country here is turkey. and turkey is playing a very important because of course, it controls the 3 of access to the black sea. and it's like he's got this sort of intermediate role where it's still got some dialogue with, with russia. but it's also just recently opened the path by fulfilling sweetened joy nights. i said maybe turkey supports our case or, or she will find it even harder to maintain that military presence, batch ester to round off on your other point. yes, of course to the russian military's already stretched, even with its limited objectives of conquering the full extent of the dumbass. it still only controls about half of that on the expiration despite now taking the hans and i think this move is also really an indication that russia is having to. but also,

but which is to conquer this part of eastern ukraine. yes miss. are you hung a few technical problems are with the sound quality, the metal trying get know the question in the how important is turkey now in the next few weeks and trying to make sure that they play a pivotal role in guiding the these merchant vessels full of grain out of ukraine in a way that suits both the global market and certainly appeases russia. i think that so much gonna be impossible. bonds strike. and i think a lot of this comes down to where the russians have at have the ability to actually maintain a blockades over ukraine, given that they only control part of ukraine's coastline. and that's the issue really is that tacky is, is a very important broker, additional broker in this particular at hench gym pressure on the ukraine, russia comp. let me look at the, the countries or import the most grain of wheat from ukraine. it's egypt, turkey,

indonesia, pakistan, libya, these countries around the world are nowhere near this, this region. i think a lot of international tension, attention, and pressure is going to be placed on the various conflict parties to try to restart some amounts of a brain trade. we'll see what happens any for the moment estimate brita from the institute of strategic studies. thanks for joining us from london. thank you. now, national ceremony has being held in the democratic republic of congo and on the rights form of president police lamba. he played a major role in congress, fight for independence from belgium. he was abducted and assassinated 6 decades ago, a tooth his only known remains will be placed in a newly constructed mausoleum in the capital kinshasa, malcolm webb has more from neighboring nairobi. that was 62 years ago today, the democratic republic of congo was granted independence from belgium. colonial rule, patrice, remember, stood out a ceremony in kinshasa in front of the belgian king and made an impassioned

speech slamming the belgians or racism and brutal colonial rule. over the preceding 70 belgian colonialists had killed about 10000000, commonly people and looted abbas mineral wealth. needless to say off that independence speech, government of belgium didn't like him very much. neither did the u. s. a month later, was assassinated, executed by a firing squad. belgian mercenaries were involved, the body was dissolved in the fall of acid and not to take him to belgium. now in the following decades, belgium has been among the slowest of the european former colonial powers to acknowledge it pass that some things have changed just recently. following the black live matter movement to originated in the us. but following

following their protest, that activists in belgium started the facing statues of belgium, king leopold, the colonial era, king and not seem to have prompted a series of gestures by belgium to try and acknowledge it. pos, current king, philippe dressed, regret. some people say that this doesn't really go far enough. intended in katy is a professor of political science at the university of kinshasa. he says there's still a need to hold those who killed a former president to account. i would suggest is taking the right direction at the same time is not enough by saying that i mean that it should be pursued so that the reparation is all saw down to the family of lymphoma as well as the d s t. i would argue that the assembly

is him around this return of his tooth is also to be perceived in the context of african traditions. because as long as the body's not buried, we believe enough that their soul of the seas continues to wander in their lives here after. and by having him buried. that puts an end to that wandering around, so that suffering of the soul of the disease. so that is important in terms of what tradition. but what i want to really emphasize the fact that returning did to us is one step. yes, but those who are involved in this submission are still alive. there was a list of people belgians who were identified by the big embodiment as having taken part in this assassination. columbia's truth commission as hell. the 1st of many public presentations about the nation civil conflict, but its hope the painful process will help avoid future conflict. on us under m p.
