continent. washington house, the u. s. africa leader summit with global power is vying to boost economic and political ties to the region. the president is keen to underscore the importance of u. s. africa relation. stay without his era for all development. ah, 2 more protested or killed in peru as supporters of the ousted former president demand his immediate release from custody. ah, hasn't think of this is agitated, alive from the holes are coming up. iran publicly hangs a mang lint to anti government protests. it's the 2nd execution in less than a week. the nigerian army is accused of carrying out massacres,

targeting children in its war against arm groups in the north east. and afghanistan. struggle to sell the world's most expensive spice. ah. at least 4 people have now been killed during protests in peru. demonstrations began last week when former president pedro castillo was impeached and arrested. his successor. dina bala. water says she will ask congress to call early elections, but many protesters, one, the former leader, released immediately in the 2nd largest city at a keeper. they blocked access to the airport and fought with police and inner and the hoyle, as the grieving family of a 17 year old boy who died during demonstrations, are demanding justice. that's a remote rule region, dominated by indigenous people who support was crucial to pedro castillo's election

. when, while in ecos scuffles are broken out between protesters and police officers who are trying to clear blocked roads, marianna sanchez has more now from lima on pedro castillo response. he wrote a letter, a hand written letter from prison. i think it was found that he's feeling that there's a lot of people who are protesting and want him freed. this is not what people were protesting in the last few days. most of her movements were asking to close. congress are for new general elections, but more and more we see people who are protesting in favor of from our president cathy, who wrote this letter and say in the left hand with the letter saying that this was the most difficult time of his life that day. he had been kidnapped that he had been miss me that who was incommunicado. and he went after a president of the noah,

who had been his right hand or person to ask a 16 mother who was in office and said that she had stolen job residency. now this happened just after a few hours after congress, i, after congress had a motion to live or the former president in unity so he can be prosecuted. he is facing charges for leg rebel young with perhaps the most serious charge maybe for 20 years in prison. how long with 4 of his ministers, one i heard his former prime minister and 3 other ministers. a general rebut is an associate professor of political science and latin american studies at george mason university. she says the protests have been very powerful. well, they're across the country, they're not just in lima, they're,

they're especially concentrated along the southern quarter of peru, which is where a former president castillo base is strongest. and they seem to have fairly unified demands. and many of them are calling for the restoration of cas to you as president. they're calling for new elections. they're calling for the closure of congress and for a national assembly that would in theory write a new constitution. ok. but i think it's important to also note that in this situation, if there's been, there's been numerous people injured for people who have been reported dead. the government response has been, you know, to dismiss the legitimacy of the protesters that the probably, the new prime minister actually said that people were being paid to come protests. so some of the right wing legislators in congress have dismissed the protesters as

pro shining path. or maoist insurgent group that was prominent in the 1980s in 1990, which doesn't really exist any more. and so it's just a very volatile situation in the country right now. and i think the problem is the government is failing to really listen to what people are saying, the founder of the collapsed crypto currency company, f t x has been arrested in the bahamas. sam bank, when fried was taken into custody off to the u. s. fall criminal charges against him. the statement by the bahamas attorney general said he will be held until a formal extradition request is made. earlier the u. s. senate banking committee says banquet fried, refused to testify about how his company failed. losing billions of dollars of clients deposits. iran has executed another prisoner linked to anti government protests that in gulf the country for months. it is the 2nd such

forces as well as wounding for others with a knife as he was tried and convicted. and then his sentence upheld in the country. supreme court all within the span of 23 days, he was executed early morning on monday in a public execution, which is quite rare in iran. it's only the 2nd time this year that we've heard of a public execution taking place. but executions are not that rare in iran, this is $500.00 and 5th execution to take place this year alone. of course, iran has one of the highest execution rates in the world, only 2nd to china. dozens of soldiers and civilians have toby watches, news agency that the nigerian army massacre children in its war against groups. the agency looked into 6 specific incidents in which at least 60 children died. it is reporting the soldiers. an armed guards employed by the government were repeatedly

ordered by army commanders to quote, delete children. for these children were soon to be collaborating with on groups such as vocal harm. they often killed because it was fear, children of fighters would grow up to join the armed groups becoming suicide bombers, informants, or used to avenge the groups losses. it found most of the children were shot witnesses said others had been poisoned and suffocated the niger and military says the report is part of a foreign effort to undermine the countries fight against arm groups. a can be at a demo is a security analyst for nigeria and the sal region from beacon consulting. he says it is unlikely, the government will thoroughly investigate the claims. but this is not the 1st time the allocation the been made against the military in 2015. i think i'm, i'm the internet for me to be mila allegation. and at that time, there was an attempt to investigate delegation. and unfortunately not in came out

of it. but we know in a practical we did, our military have made some changes. it tried to improve in human rights record. it has tried to improve if them community relations resident of the area. so perhaps the follow up some of the earlier divisions. he's not likely that this one would be investigated, except for instance, if the change and the protection by the government, but the current reaction would the military and the government has been one of denial and rejection. unfortunately, however, one of the legacy long get the military rule in the event the parliament had not shown this type of, you know, capacity for the investigation of the nature of the president would also police. but your rule enjoyed about to hold an election to the general election, to the entire of the government and trade virtually everyone on that election. it's not likely that the time of the relief of this report would, would be, you know, help if it had come, elliot, before the election,

perhaps the government would be more interested. i saw has claimed responsibility for an attack on a hotel in cobble on monday. the african security forces, say 3 armed men were killed after the after they stormed the building, an open fire, a series of explosions and gunshots were heard, and a fire broke out. i thought you say all occupants of the hotel were rescued. belgian police have rated more european parliament offices as the legislatures president found to launch and internal investigation into corruption allegations. roberta mate, solar says, there will be no impunity for those caught up in the probe. apollo mentally, vice president eva kailey is one of 4 people charged by belgium. police, prosecutors say a golf country was involved. they have not named the country. widespread media reports in both brussels and katie's home nation. greece identified as cutter and no official source in brussels or athens has contradicted that the countries deny

ensuring these plans could not materialize. whilst no official statement has been made implicating any particular country from the point of view of investigators, it is clearly being sent by many members of parliament that they believe the state in question is the state of qatar, representative to the state of cancer, have denied any involvement, any wrong doing, but there are many voices, both within the european parliament and then in the european institutions, who as i say, are asking very serious questions not only about this particular incident, but also about the idea of corruption in the institutions. we know the presence the european commission has spoken out about this sort of fund lion, and there is a clear sense here that they don't believe that this is the end of the road. and so far as the investigation is concerned, still add on al jazeera and the british government holds emergency meetings over

that they are also still continuing their investigation. you remember the f t x was a big crypto cotton c dealership. it collapsed just last month. there were many questions about exactly why it had collapsed. there were suggestions that sam bagman freed had a back door entry into the accounting system so he could change figures away from the the regulators eyes. there was a suggestion that money from investors was being used to fund a hedge fund and that lost money and therefore left investors short. and there's also a suggestion that was at least $1000000000.00 missing. know, at its peak f t x was valued at $30000000000.00 and it thousands and thousands of people who had invested in crypto currency believing it was the next big thing. so when it collapsed and at announced it was going into bankruptcy last month. you can imagine the earthquakes that it caused in the financial community, but particularly in the crypto community, and it led to a number of other exchanges seeing significant losses in the days after that
