we don't want to face more suffering like what we've been through these past 2 years. we will suffer more and get killed if the military stays in control. we want our future back. inside me in more human rights organizations say nearly 3000 people have been killed by the military since the crew. 17 and a half 1000 people were taken as political prisoners and at least 38000 homes, clinics and schools have been burned down. more than 1000000 people have been displaced in a special report from inside the country and tony chang looks at how one community and the outskirts of the city of them also has been affected by violence. the body of door saw me are lies in her modest home relative packs a bag with things she'll need for her journey to the afterlife. her son watches without emotion, as the funeral rights proceed. she died after being hit by an artillery shell and a shell too close to the fields where she worked. the shell didn't explode,

but she bled to death after it hit her in the thigh. oh, upon that i looked down, the ground was shaking, and my child was crying. the woman shouted unhurt, unhedged license. she tries only this primary school in the same village was hit 2 months ago, healing a 5 year old girl and enduring 8 others walls pockmarked with shrapnel and a whole left by a direct hit suggest. the school was intentionally targeted by mere mars military. in a nearby clinic, a young boy winces with pain injured in a traffic accident. the doctor tries to patch him up, but aside from stitching and cleaning the wound, there's very little that can be done. medical supplies are scarce to morrow, the military governments bright. this is that the cut food and medicine to the area when there is fighting. we have to connect with luke or resist and cruise to solve these problem. he even places of worship on safe villages. say this church was

burned down by the army in the summer, but no one can get in to rebuild or repair. because the area is heavily mind. it's a tactic the military uses frequently and the iowa neither. they are many land minds. we retrieve modern 700 land mines from john dog village, which the enemy has planned it. they use it as protection when their weak love. we have lost many lives. legs are now to land mines of suffer more because of mines than in battle. bank in the village, the body of dasanya is ready to be buried according to local tradition. her possessions burned. as mourners wail her coffin is nailed, shut, and load into the ground. another civilian victim of the army that was supposed to protect her. tony ching al, to sir long before them in the code, the military had turned its weapons against civilians. at last, what's been described as a brutal genocidal campaign against the majority muslim looking yet hundreds of

thousands were killed or driven from their homes. while the government stood by international leaders say any future min more government must acknowledge the persecution of it and strive to build a multi ethnic nation token is president of the balmy's hanging organization. he says things have got much worse than i can get under the john to 1000 people. you can see they fled by gentlemen who, you know and. busy i do things are going to much, much combat with the, you know, ongoing dental side there you can see that people are not able to reach the wrong kind of a dental hygiene, ongoing military increase. and unfortunately, we have not seen any reflection limits in the community for the you know,

even though we have seen us read mental tried not much. and you want to think that i want people, you know, 13, and 1000000 people in the are you know, in the pam and we never know when they can re time the commission is really bad. we have 2 more friends on bobby's military and international. definitely very is the case. then we have not so much right in and you have to bring by me military is violating provisional mesh, at least were delivered from just the double worry when he, when he but we have not nearly half a 1000000 people in england. and wales are taking part in the biggest strike over a decade, teacher's public transport workers and civil servants. and among those joining the walk out across the u. k. it comes as unions step up their campaign to demand

better wages and working conditions. most trainings in england are running and that a long queues at airports the u. case, i've seen some of the biggest increases in prices of fuel food and housing. protesters say their wages are simply not enough to cope with advising. cost of living teaches a striking in england and wales today because there has been over the last 12 years, really conscious of it, long term decline in that pay pieces of off 13 percent over that period. that's in real terms. a huge amount to lose, and that is causing rate recruitment and retention crisis in our schools. so schools can't get teachers and teachers out staying in the profession. and that's the top of the combination of overwork underpay. so teachers are saying very reluctantly, none of the people behind me wants to be on strike today, but they are saying very reluctantly enough is enough. that things have to change

when he, barkers joining us live now from london need. the scale of the strikes is significant in and of themselves, but not the teachers around to ah, it's significant because rarely have there been quite so many strikes coordinated to arrive here in central london from different sectors all happening at exactly the same time. so it isn't just the teachers, it's train drivers, it saw former universities and it's civil servants as well. all trying to make their voices heard were already a stone's throw from number 10 downing street. early on the day we heard from richie soon, aca, the prime minister, the government continuing to repeat this message that it can't increase, pay it can't boost workers. standards of living is because if it does that could well have an impact on inflation that's already at his highest for many, many decades. with money here, simply been saying, look, the numbers don't add up. that the future depends on paying teaches the amount of money that they deserve. well, for a bit more, there's some joined by susie stripes. susie, you can education sector,

you work in schools, you know exactly the kind of stresses and strains. the teachers around that gives a sense of the pressures at the moment. i think just anyone that's worked in education sector for the last 1020 years has seen a massive difference that has happened just caught across the board. so whether the is classroom size is a bigger, particularly kids with special educational needs are not getting the support they need. and i think the really important message stays the teachers aren't going to teach him because they want to be millionaires. they're going to teaching. if i want to change lives, because i want to raise up the next generation, he's all money grabbing people. why are they out? i that out that they propose this government has not supported them. this government has not, has really said we don't believe in kids. formal backgrounds. i'm from pop plate tongue. nice deprived davies in the country. if you go to each and not publish johnson, then yeah, you do get small qualifies. you cheat to the page well and you get the support he need. i mean, what his government is saying is, if you're boating, sir, and,

and it would have been, even, you would not care about you, would i care about your future? and i think anyone in this country has a problem with that. and that's why people about icons di susie may raise, ready and sing points. one of the criticisms leveled against the members of the government, including prime minister richie c 9. who obviously come from wealthy backgrounds who've been too expensive schools, is that they may be listening to the likes of teachers and the public, but they don't really feel the pressure that understand the pressures of degree one . i mean it 100 percent, let's be honest. has been she cynic, ever known anxiety about paying bills. has he ever known anxiety about? i'm gonna have to buy these long hours. i'm not going to get to see my kids. you asked that question is obvious. now we hasn't. and that's the problem with the people i don't think they're, they're not like bad or ha, he's like the pump perspective on life is different. they've never experienced struggle. they've never known what it's like to on and i like not be out of food, certain things, you know, or even certain shoes or even uniform. and personally,

i find that hot breaking cause i work the kids like that i work with kids with their parents can't afford to buy them the right uniform or can't afford to give them the white pat lunch. i mean, like if your heart doesn't break the, i'm not sure what panic you are bored on. and then we have like, again, people like me, she said, that boyish johnson. you know, they parents didn't have to think, can i full to send them to rugby practice? or football practice. but these kids aren't getting those opportunities and that's not a small thing to spoke changes lives, right? so let me jump in there and ask you will look, you know, a 5 percent pay off for a pay increase has been accepted. but that is, that doesn't go far enough. why not? it doesn't go far enough because we're living in a cost to live in crisis. and the problem is, is we'll hear that and we get bored of it. but it's a vanity. people can't afford to pay their bills. i work with kitty parents can afford to pay to have energy bills. people that are turning the heat in often they're like, you know, they, these are things that in like 50 years time people to look back as i, how did we let that happen in the sick, richest economy? so i think it's really important and you know,

you look at the government and the fact disease if you are a banker, you know, if you're from a certain background, you work no as hard as teachers and you get paid what 10 times as much way was that fair and they're not changing the future children. so i think it's not hard. i think it same people deserve to be pay the difference. they may cc stride. thank you so much for very passionately sharing your thoughts and i will as you, her a huge amount of pressure on teachers and other workers from different sectors. my name feel that they've had real wage go salary cuts as a result of inflation. and many of them are earning what they were essentially earning more than a decade ago, and having to face up to the new economic challenges of what 2023 will throw at them next, leave walker and london leave. thank you. processes called on people in the democratic republic of congo, engaged in fighting to lay down their arms. he had a mass in the capital kinshasa for more than 1000000 people decades of violence in the congo, especially in the eastern region, as forced millions to see their homes. the pontiff urged worshippers to grant each

country moves forward, stop the war. he came to bring tranquillity walker lives. joining us live now from kinshasa law group, just giving a sense there of the kind of reception that the pope has been getting took us through. what's been happening over the last few hours though, right now, the poems meeting with people have been displaced by our affected by complex in east the country from it to the province where 2 armed groups, who could deco one, could deco another code, the adf, both responsible for massacring many civilian 1000 civilians in recent years will say people from north keyvi where the m 23 alms group, widely understood to be a proxy of rwanda. everyone the denies it is taken territory from the government and displaced around half a 1000000 people in recent months and also people from south kiva province. whether on conflict as well as the coming days. he's got more than sunday or in kinshasa,

including some more visiting. not sure cathedral right here. we can see here some nuns just taking arrest in the shade of a tree. they were among the crowd of thousands of people on the airport runway this morning. where the mass took place at pope france's lead malcolm we've this clearly means a great deal to catholics in democratic republic of congo. and of course, it is a religion which is going across africa because all this isn't 1st came here about a 130 years ago. that certainly when it was spread across the country by mission's working on the colonial rule. and at that time, missionaries provided water problems, access to education, things that people really couldn't refuse. and in some respects that situation hasn't changed because up to this day is the catholic church here that provides

about 60 percent of the medical health care and educational services in congo. the government provides very little of those things. so that's just one of the things that makes it such a powerful and significant institution here. about half of congos, nearly 100000000 people follow is of the catholic church. it's also unlike other countries in africa, here is a political voice. and since around the 1900 seventy's, it's been one of the most powerful voices holding congos rulers 2 accounts. and speaking at that math on the airport runway earlier today, the, the card and all of the catholic church, the leader of the catholic church in congo, was very outspoken saying that people in congo are suffering. and what they really need is the free fair and credible election or elections. at the end of this year, president felix kennedy wants to run again in the catholic church and the

opposition of already criticized his government for irregularities in the electoral process. mark web bringing this up to date from kinshasa, malcolm, thank you. so i had an all de 0 pakistan investigate security, serious after the death of more than a 100 people in a suicide bombing at a boss, justice retiree, i just retired calls for police reform in the u. s. is the following. retiree nichols gathers on the eve of his funeral. ah hello there. a slow moving weakening system is, brings very heavy rain to the likes of sri lanka and southern india. if we look to south asia, you can see it moving across into town will now do by the time we get to thursday
