actually best response. you know, africa like 75. you start to get my view for managing relationships with linda, holding the china. and the main reason for that is that the continent lacks a continental agency. you know, we have african union. i think we spent of that body africa when senior just driving the unified position on entity. even though this is by example, the little guy know of time to be walking to death counterpart in the region to have some kind of for me to say what issues are key to our region better to present this to this digging that i doubt they did that so they still operate the individual countries and undermine that to to have some kind of music rotation. and the 2nd reason i think that there's a lack of an african leadership both b,

these elections come at a time of severe economic crisis. teresa has this report for us from havana and he literally s p l has been participating in cuban elections for decades. she says her family was among the poorest in the country and benefited from fidel castro revolution. now, she says, sewing prices are a major challenge for cuba, government, and that's why it's leadership needs more support than ever our hand. we need to work. so we come from the difficult time so we can produce more for the country. we have lots of educated people after the pandemic, lots of people are struggling and for a country like ours, with an embargo, it's worse. well, millions of cubans headed to the polls on sunday to elect the members of the national assembly. that was select the next president, cuba, one party system, the candidate for the national assembly are selected by a commission to the communist party. there's 472 candidates for 472 pieces,

new members of the opposition. and that's why critics say that cubans are allowed to vote, but not to choose. disenchantment with the economic situation is everywhere. to be seen. us sanctions power got a 60 percent inflation rate this year, and shortages of almost everything have forced hundreds of thousands to leave the country. and that way, turn out is crucial for the government to provide the new assembly with the legitimacy needs to rule in times of trouble. and there are a lot of people that will not vote to punish the government because it's a fact that a government in the middle of a crisis is a government that gets punished. but at the same time, the new national assembly needs to get involved in the day to day problems, people face and get into a debate for them. i but not every one is convinced. thousands of people took to the streets in july 2021. in the largest anti government protests in years, they were demanding freedom. hundreds were detained,

and remaining prison. medium lever has been an outspoken critic of cuba government . her husband spent years in prison, galleria, val wanna it. the cuban reality doesn't need to be exaggerated because it's tragic . after years it's my duty to say the truth. the situation is so difficult that we have to see how the government solstice and opens up because there is one reality. the control here is not in a civilian government, but in the hands of the military. and now more than ever, the government is promising to improve the countries devastated economy. millions in cuba are waiting for those reforms that will provide the relief that many here so desperately need. oh did is i will, i'll just cedar havana, cuba now lebanon is facing a political and religious dispute over its official daytime hours. they can take a government has delayed daylight savings by month. clocks will now be moved forward at the end of ramadan in april,

and allows muslims to break their fast early at sunset. but christian authorities say they'll stick to tradition and switch the time on the last sunday of march. then a holler has more from bearish. there is more chaos in lebanon, a country already close to collapse because of an economic and political crisis. this morning, the lebanese woke up to time zones, usually at the end of march of this country to shift into the summer time. but this did not happen because of a decision, an unexpected and surprised decision taken by the caretaker prime minister, along with the speaker of parliament. be buddy up this really this decision a caught people by surprise. some institutions like middle east airlines has adapted to the decision. yes, their electronic devices are clocks that remain the same, but they've had to change their flight schedule to comply with the international flight schedule. but, but there's an uproar and there's opposition,

and there are institutions which are rejecting to comply with the decision. the argument is it was in discriminant and chose the way this country has been governed for decades. and it shows how officials and not state institutions are taking decisions without resorting to, to parliament, a cabinet. and most of the opposition is coming from the christian community, the head of the maronite church, christian parties, because they are concerned that the post in lebanon, sectarian power, sharing system of the president is now vacant. and it is the muslim leaders who are taking the decisions on their behalf. and it's not just that, while those empowered did not give a decision on official reason why this is happening, it coincided with the start of ramadan. and in the league video, you hear the how speaker say, you know, people will, will fast, less, less an hour during this month. so a decision on whether or not lebanon will change to summer timings,

which it really has done for, for years now, is causing a lot of confusion in the country on more than a 100 people has been killed in kenya in the past 6 months by aunt castle raider's bandits had been stealing livestock and displacing people. internal politics and the lucrative trade have made it difficult for the government to deal with the problem. catherine's where reports now from ringo can county this is a road in north rift valley that cause through 3 counties. it was supposed to make movement in hard in communities easier. but it's a road that is hardly used because of crime, kenya security forces, or targeting a 62 kilometer stretch of rolling heels, gorges as comments and caves that are hard to excess wear cattle. feats hide out. we passed through an area called tatty people who live here say young man used this

roads to carry out cross border talks. the community leaders in the village of charl told al jazeera that they've been stigmatized and labeled bandits. i po miracle about that with them. we are afraid even to travel to other areas or people see young men from po court. my community, there are a grizzers. they say we haven't guns, we're using and that we have criminals in our me the summer, but we have been tainted. we're also dealing with the same brand. it's coming to steal from us. hello, bob. oh, you are. but now what about you? the military and police have been deployed to some pots. cattle rating is a historic problem and kenya, the government has struggled to deal with it for me. yes. remember the alternatives in these areas are very limited. there, there is cause the infrastructure is extremely wanting. the probably some of the most desperate or parts of the country if not for the region. and so unless we transform these communities and give them a different system of economic survival,

is going to be challenging to route out the routes of banditry. the inter ethnic conflict has been made worse by a mix of climate change and politics. people here will do anything to protect the livestock animal theft is nothing new to heard in communities, but some say the practice has been commercialized. the government has told hundreds of people to leave their homes in areas where the security operation is being carried out. most of those who have been displaced have moved to safer houses, but they are now living rough in crowded houses and open space is angeline looming guy. and he says, she's decided to move here because it's near a police comp pleasure. but listen, life is tough. we have nothing we left most of our belonging back home. we have been robbed. we have no blanket because they have no cutlery,

like we cover ourselves with sucks at night. and with an elderly people who live here say they hope the security operation will help. but they also, talis things may not change much. katherine saw all the 0 north rift valley, now bookbinding as their traditional year round occupation and the emily capital sa . during ramadan, their demand from wash as is high for the restoration of the muslim ho, your book, the koran. malavar has the story. passion, massage. he has his hands full as a book binder in the old district of the human capital. somehow, business is normally quiet, but during ramadan his flooded with orders one book at a time, he needs to restore dozens of for arms as quickly as he can. i went back without sylvia unable to bind the book. we begin with applying a piece of paper and another fabric. i know that after we apply both, we stitch it this way. after we finish ditching the book with the cotton and nylon

threads, we apply lead the spine using locally made do. there's no question. the next step is to place the book in a press and leave you tell to the sun for a day to make sure the binding holds. millions of muslims learn the core on by heart from a young age. others depend on the most, huff or awning book form for a citation paper books asked of the norm here in yemen. oh, how about my faith? i brought with me 47 copies of the currants be repaired because some of them are damaged, and we take any damaged copies of the koran from any mosque to be restored at our expense. during ramadan, particularly old people want to recite the koran. i'll handle that and will be at a mobile alphabet ali. thanks to allah. the yemenis are taking care of the koran and preserving it in terms of book binding, honoring, pondering its meanings. complaint with guidelines on what's permissible and what's forbidden level ha ha. during ramadan was slims don't just avoid food and
