generated protest. however, there is true nationwide discontent as well because the government and the states have seemed indifferent and dysfunctional and with an election and fewer than 5 months from now, the prime minister and his entourage are nervous about how far this reaction will remo 5, the government says it will nearly doubled its budget to 80000000 dollars this year to improve the rail network quickly higher, more stuff, and install automated tracking signaling and emergency breaking throughout the system. but it's too late for those young people killed hair. and it leaves many wondering why it took this long for politicians to act. jobs are open, close al jazeera athens still to come when i was a 0. how funding and political issues are hitting, the humanitarian relief efforts. one of the regions west affected by last month's earthquakes. ah,

but it's gone away from that peninsula. and look at this. now immediate that looks like a spring spring like chalk doesn't rain going up through japan, possibly, but as stay on the northern edge. but so give me wet day, i think for friday, but then come back and look at china. those temperatures wrong by about 10 degrees stretching from vietnam, right up to the northern part of china in even in japan, temperatures are much higher than they should be, as they are still on the western side of india. and southern pakistan. ah, a legacy of southern africa, colonial history family, a blend of traditional music with western instrument. i born in the villages of this little now echoes in apartheid disused mines where a new illegal gold rush has taken hold. has organized crime, gangs battle for control of this lucrative industry. huge that started in song too

back to the pin, okay? here is now being re attempted again, abortion rights and gender parity, which was he article to in the constitution. it was voted down, would still be put back on the agenda. and that's what many of these women here want to make clear that it is still a key demand for gillian women, all over the country, women of all ages, women of all social and economic backgrounds. it's, it's, this is really quite an extraordinary martin. this is avenida alameda, the largest thoroughfare in chile. i'm going to show you the other side of the road here. this is just goes on and on and on. i've been here for at least 2 hours and there seems to be no end to this march. would have a present presidential palace, but one thing i do want to clarify, this is not a problem with the government. the government is in favor of both gender parity and abortion rights. it considers itself paying feminist government. but this is

something that the congress and the julian people at large have to vote in favor or against. so that is what's at stake here right now. who's here many thanks for i'm a senior enlivened santiago. work as him from say out on strike. again for a 2nd successive day, over proposed pension reforms, this national and garrett government plans to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. natasha butler reports from paris where the international women's day march doubles as a protest against the pension bill. solidarity women's rights around the world was one of the main themes of march in paris to mock international women's day. protest as is so focus on issues closer to home, including the french government, planned pension reform that some say remote life hall to for women was of 3 say i'm think i'm going to like all reform suspension. bill ignores women. now women will

have to work more years to make up for the years. they had children as if having children isn't work well to state as against woman, as all states are. and unless governments include women, you end up with laws like this pension reform, which is profoundly sexist. please lords, her insides with the 2nd day or nationwide strikes against the government from home to home. some workers say the reforms on erosion of their rights in the north of the country. they were road blockades and picket lines outside some factories in the east, dozens of cargo boat workers blocked part of the rhine river while transport services disrupted. nationwide reseller garage awesome because it's been total chaos. i guess it's the same for everyone. i had a train this afternoon that was cancelled. so i rebooted and then that was camera. trade unions are calling for rolling strikes to bring france to a standstill and growing the government in gordon order just quickly. we condense calls to bring our economy to its knees because these statements are irresponsible

a chronic lack of funding. and also faced political issues, gaining proper access to a region that was already devastated by 12 years of war. so nevada has more is learn ago. v time has done little to heal the wounds, the earthquakes that devastated war ravaged towns and cities and syria have robbed it's people of what little they had left. the challenges ahead involve rebuilding what was destroyed. hundreds of thousands of people have been made homeless in both government and rebel held territories. while worsening. the displacement crisis and the opposition controlled northwest enclave was so me hung with people with choice to live in. the area is what i see over probably more media condition. the needs are great in a region where 4000000 people were dependent on aid before the natural disaster.

but agencies say help has been slow and adequate. they blamed this partly on the lack of funding without which the ability to respond will be limited. we cannot skate to the level of needs, mostly because we lack funding. and because also coordination structures that we're responding to, not with cd before being in turkey and most of them have been all selected. earthly syria was already among the most underfunded humanitarian crises in the world. and so far less than half of the $400000000.00 requested by the un to deal with the immediate needs from the disaster has been funded. but it's not the only problem. a coordinated effort is needed in a largely isolated region which lacks the capacity and resources to face its latest catastrophe. all the while access to northwest syria depends on

a political decision by the syrian government. biggest thing is predictable access . we saw the addition of 2 border crossings for you and a to access was a good start. but at the 3 month window that you know they're operating off of is wholly insufficient, the skill to humanitarian response and to north west syria. furthermore, is the 2nd piece, which is that we need a principal, not a political response of the an unconscionable failure is how some aid workers described the international response in syria so far for those who survived. the recovery from the aftermath of this disaster has yet to start setting a cutter. al shahita no more than a week after a tanker sank off the island of min doro. in the philippines, the coast guard is struggling to contain a massive oil spill. the slick has now reached several coastal towns on the east side of the islands known as oriental min. doro is threatening not only marine life for the livelihoods of the residence that barnaby lo reports. for generations,
