a part of the ide bureau american club, but yet it was very much on the agenda or at least in the speeches that are being made by the heads of state at this hour a, a 1st costa rica came out and absolutely said that the only solution to a country that is described as a fail state where 70 percent of the capital is controlled by criminal gangs was to send in foreign troops. foreign intervention is what he called for. he called word immediately and this was followed by an interruption by the president of the dominican republic, the host president, who as you know, all the do the dominican republic shares the island of east by noah with haiti and dub. and he made a plea for the united nations security council to meet immediately. also saying that the only solution was to agree to the petition by the president of haiti to bring in foreign troops. he said that it wasn't possible to ask the dominican

republic to send in groups against his own neighbor, but rather that this was a responsibility for the entire world that it was a global problem that had to be tackled on a global scale. however, many of the other heads of state there, while they didn't actually criticize this position, we have heard off the record that they do not supported they. they also point out that previous military interventions in haiti have only lead to worse and worse problems in that country. and have not resolved the issues that haiti faces in the long term. what's also on the agenda, the problem of digital inequality, the lack of access to the internet and to digital technology. there have been, there apparently have been agreements made that will help and that score the other . a big issue was hunger and, and with the gold food insecurity, which has risen dramatically in latin american parts of the caribbean since the pandemic. they also were talking about democracy or the lack of in countries such

as, for example, nicaragua at chillies president. it was very, very, very strong when he accused the president of the corolla being a dictator. and he said that the only way to resolve the problems of democracy was with more democracy, not with less of it. so other countries disagree with it. in fact, this is a medium of countries that have a lot in common, but they also have tremendous differences which are being heard as i speak. israel's defense minister has called on prime minister benjamin netanyahu to halt controversial plans for an overhaul of the justice system. you have got aunt said, the deepening internal division over the judiciary could harm israel. security. hundreds of thousands of israelis have been demonstrating against the proposals made by netanyahu. critic say he is seeking to subordinate the judiciary to the kinessa. i mean, we're, we're sort of only in recent days and weeks during conversations and discussions behind the scenes,

i presented the security situation to various parties. i asked reasoned and said that at this time the process must be stopped so that we may sit and talk. but now i declare loudly and publicly for the sake of israel, security, for the sake of our sons and daughters, the legislative process should be stopped. is ready. troops say there's been a shooting in the palestinian at town who are in the occupied west bank to israelis where wounded after they were fired out from the moving car. those responsible, ob leave to still be on the run live in violent demonstrations in that southwest france against the construction of a large irrigation project. the so called mega basins are water storage areas that can be used by farmers during periods of drought. opponents of the projects a large companies are trying to steal water from small farmers and residents in the area is also concerned that wet land is will be damaged. international

birth virus kills about half the people infects the fatality rate can go as high as 90 percent. there are no vaccines are approved anti viral treatments at the moment . or benson that moran go is a public health specialist at oxfam, kenya, he says, marburg spread is associated with travel and is cause for concern when the come in government is doing is um, mostly it does. actually, hayton diminishes full screening. they what centers and should encouraging people who are actually presenting the symptoms to to go fall. i need treatment management, then yes, tell facilities. the detection can only be done on level 3 measurements. so thorough investigation. so what is holding coverage? is that any past i'm actually presenting with fever and maybe them on history of travel to tanzania, torture to present to their facility,

who can actually ticket for them to deliberate investigation tool, actually distinguish, relayed. so my book virus or any other disease that's easily spread from human to human, it's actually close associated mi latino travel. so that's what, that's what chile is, what is that? this wasn't just risk. and that's way really concerned because of the human traffic between kenya tons and handle gamma. and more so because of the, you know, even full informally, you know, and porous borders on the lake on the land. people are really wanted because this is the 1st time on a specific getting kinda we've not had this maybe no other plant in other countries, a specific and i've actually had experience this, but in kenya we've never had a guess of veronica diseases. so people are really concerned and most of the actually have are i to be concerned because they, this is a highly contagious. somebody the hey, for tele to it,
