the forces and the national police who maintain that position of absolute respect to the constitution and the laws and the decision to protect the rights liberties and guarantees of citizens within the framework of the rule of law. the decision of the constitutional president of the republic to dissolve the national assembly is based on the cool one full age of the constitution of the republic. it is therefore subject to a constitutional know, and must be fully and completely respected by all citizens officers. alessandra biachi has the following. the story joins us now from echoes capital quito. what is the all positions response? then? this move by present during the last a to dissolve congress, which effectively triggers elections. he's done this in order to avoid impeachment to yes, mary, i'm one of the bigger as fears here is that the position could call to mass protest
10:04 pm
and we could be again and the other scenario in which aqua there was just a year ago when there were demonstrations in a lot of the countries, some of them turned violent at which almost all full the president get more or less so at the time. but so far as the main opposition party is said, that while they be leave less is decision to the solve congress is the legal because they say that the legal circumstances that are necessary for the president to a to do that don't exist right now on long them the fact that they say there's no internal commotion, which is one of the issues that, that are required. but they said that they see this as an opportunity for ecuadorian said to a choose a new government then that they will at that they agree with the early elections, another party that created the social christian. so you said that they will try to challenge last so as decision and in, in the courts. but i guess this is
10:05 pm
a process. it could take some time at least a few months and he gets to real by decree in that time. it's absolutely that that seems to be the case where you spoke to uh, nick whether in constitutional list. and he told us that it could take up to 6 months for the car and the, the, the court to the, to make a decision. but they could also put a, a sort of stop order on the decision in the meantime, while the process continues it and the court. another thing very important to look at is the announcement that the biggest indigenous organization in the country cannot, you will make that is expected to happen any time. and now they could also decide to mobilize that they are people to this 3 things to start the process. we're waiting to hear that. but as things look right now, it's most likely we will indeed go to these at early elections now president last
10:06 pm
so indeed can govern by the create, at least for the next 3 and a half 4 months, while the new elections to take place. but only on economic issues in any decree, it needs to then be approved by the countries constitutional court. okay. what would i choose from key to alice under on p as you're forcing. thank you. the united nations is saying it needs over 2 and a half $1000000000.00 to help people effective by the fighting and sit down and additional funding for refugees and neighboring countries. fighting between sedans, army and the power military rapids support forces has been escalating even as negotiations continue and saudi arabia, it will move and reports from cartoon. this is the aftermath of an ask strikes
10:07 pm
by the sudanese army on suspected positions of the power, military rapids support forces or r s f. it's happened in the city of the city in the northern parts of the 2. and this blue of smoke is from artillery fire and the center of the capitol. much of the fighting is concentrated in the triangle areas of the capital, hot too heavy and on demand across the mile river. the army says it's pushed back the paramilitary group from the man. it's also says its troops start get to a number of rebel positions in the center and north of the capital, resulting and heavy losses, including weapons and vehicles. but the rapids support forces is claiming victory in the north saying it's gain control of the military bases. the group has released footage, which it says shows the capture of $700.00 soldiers. both sides have been trying to gain an upper hand in the conflict. the recess has control of sunflower and what the plans in the city of heavy as well as the presidential palace in cartoon city.
10:08 pm
but it's not been able to gain control of the general command of the army. it's main targets or the military air based in the city of on demand where the fights are just targeting their positions have been taken off from. and while the 2 sides battle each other, the humanitarian situation on the ground continues to deteriorate. much needed humanitarian aid has arrived at sports with them. it includes medical supplies from, although an egypt and this plan carries, i needed for surgery and meet the current situation. and so then there was some medicine blood that nation bags and trauma kids. again, i think victoria killed the violence has caused immediate humanitarian crisis for this nation and the wider region. today 25000000 people. more than half the population of saddam nation mentioned aiden and protection. this is the highest number we have ever seen in the country. many people say the situation is unbearable to my teenage,
10:09 pm
there is no shelter. we have no family to stay with. we can go back to our homes. we don't know which state is safe to go, because i love it. we can't endure any longer. war and destruction, we can't sleep because of the mosquito is we want to leave this place for a safer area. the violence has also spread to the west end are for region, which has already seen years of conflict with some of the worst fighting happening in janina. more than 300 people are reported to have been killed there in a matter of days. negotiations for a possible ceasefire and safe passage of civilians are continuing in the side of the city of kit. though i saw that the 2 sides are holding inside rector, talks through mediators, but very few back home believe it will stop the fighting. he but morgan onto 0. how to him that mean. and so in the past month, thousands of cities refugees, a flight to neighboring chad, 8 organizations that say it is difficult to get a to into sit on right now. i was,
10:10 pm
is, or is, is a bus for all the reports from birth to this is the largest refugee camp in chad, and it keeps getting bigger. we were here just a few days ago, and there are already signs that this refugee camp is getting bigger. most of the people living here were on this side, this bank of the dry river bed. but what we're seeing now is if this camp is getting bigger, more and more people are arriving and there are signs that they are beginning to adapt to their circumstances. all along with dr. river bed, they set up a mixture of market. you can buy, try fish, and buy dr. crickets. there's, there's food, there's shoes. really anything that people here might need. and if you cross the river, you get a sense of how quickly the population here is expanding. there's now a make shift have tense as far as you can see, all along that side of the dry river to more than 400 people are now confirmed in
10:11 pm
west and me and law in the wake of sikes and mancha raw kind state has been declared and official dissolves to area. so him to the bus degree did were hanging most of the minority. lots of the region, a cost of thousands of homes have been destroyed, united nations as millions that were ready in need of humanitarian a, even before the cycling has on sunday. tony chains, monitoring the situation from bangkok in neighboring thailand, a free understand the officials like as of now increased to a they were a tree yesterday. they've now gone up to $21.00 civilians and 2020 pulses personnel. but that is very different compared to what we're hearing from the right hand. good communities around 6 way. who say that so far they estimate about 400 people have died. the confirmed and have been buried already. there are still they think several 100 people missing. so they have been hit very badly by him. the real challenge now is for the devastation costs of the infrastructure. and
10:12 pm
a lot of these refuge, she can swear, right? he goes with existing and in terrible conditions already. and there's been a couple of me on my military transport planes carrying aides of landed scituate airport. but i think you have to look at that in the context of whether i hang up into the basic cool problem for the right hand guys that they don't have citizenship. they've also been ignored. the people that were living and there are more than 800000, several 100000 living in camps, around situate where they are kept by the military. they is very difficult for them to move around to make a living. those can swell for the make shift shelves. as i said, they wouldn't sticks with plastic sheeting, corrugated on ribs, which have been decimated for the situation really looks very hot. we understand there are agencies within man uh and from outside we're trying to get to those areas. but at the best of times, we're kind stages very hard to access and this is certainly not the best of times.
10:13 pm
police are still surrounding the house are full of pockets, donnie prime minister and ron khan. the 7 year old veteran politicians that on wednesday police were preparing to detain him again. khan was arrested last week in connection with a corruption case, focused on supreme court, ruled his arrest was illegal, his detention at spots vine and protest across the country. so anyway, we spoke to him on conn and asked him why he believes he is being talk is hes, of what is happening right now. clearly is the, the not of the mentor to establish funds. which means why nor the parties there to scan for elections because the scale when. so because the, you know, they're doing everything to make sure that i get out of the race. i have to assess nation attempts on me. one was the one where i oh well i was lucky to be a liar because adjusted, you know, i would save time on. so this is the issue $150.00 cases on me. some of
10:14 pm
the last few months has a $150.00 cases, including the suitcases. so the hard to get to the is which democracy does not allow people to put this peacefully. whether that thing may be wrong, maybe a democracy. when i'm based on the role really i was on being they could not be all the crap be not just grab the but the people people go to insure the like, you know, re a terrorist. what did you say, what the reaction will be, be so the best on that the was going to be, but this, but what i'm saying is that the boss and was not us. and i can again say that whenever there's independent investigation, it's the brand that it well enough. so we now joined via zoom from is all abide by
10:15 pm
shalysea, laurie pucker sounds, federal minister for policy utilization and social safety. why this crack down on enron con support is why they being treated in this way? well, thank you for having me. um i believe uh um you must also be watching whatever is happening within the box to sign in whatever happened on the uh, the 9th of me in box on uh was uh nothing but uh in ron. now the wrong time is you may call him trying to create scales here and boxed on. and it was just because he was being go legally arrested. uh, i say, legally because the court declared that last legal and he refused to be arrested. he feels that he's above no, he believes that. but the supreme court, all the rest was a legal mr. massey that's happened. i think if i,
10:16 pm
if i am able to continue to explain what happened before the 9th of me, this person gets addressed to the drive. who is the rest he's? he's recorded a video, he's telling his people that if he's interested, you have to retaliate and the videos. so way, once he gets the rest of them, the court declares this a legal, the arrest and the government has nothing to do with this, right? because national accountability bureau has, you know, not as arrested in the cases or there was one particular tell me a lady is hiring to detain him again because you know, if you don't mind me interrupting is just that we only have so much time for the interview and i just want to get your thoughts on a number of different things. police a surrounding his house is support says that they obviously feel like they have that to protect him. they all that by choice, by their own free will know that governments as he's inciting things, but they all the authorities are trying to arrest and wrong con. now a mr. maurice is inside seeing if you have any videos that will tell you guys
10:17 pm
because uh we've had that nice me was quite a bad the, because of our busy life was interrupted bosses. what bond building to the bond live animals, 120, it happened was with a bunch of by them the screens. uh so there was vandalism. that was the sole source filed on his support is right. they used excessive force. well, uh you know, the defense defense installations of other that of so much happened it on that particular day that i think if you look at the, the, the events that took place that explain you that what 9 order was was, you know, of the situation was created here, so anyone taking no, i mean if i am to baker know, i would find this right? if you want to be to assign. so new a criminal kind of cool is criminal acts should be properly investigated and
10:18 pm
appropriately prosecuted. but that doesn't negate the right to peaceful protests either. not if the process is before, i totally agree with you. i belong to box some people spastic. i'm the boss of government. we've always believed in the a piece of process. we've been a party who's been practicing for part of democracy for restoration of democracy for strengthening the democracy. we continue to struggle with the same, but there is a difference in the split practice and vandalism, awesome sashes. but you've also been crashing down on the ball internet services or restrictions on people's access to social media, or if they need to pass on important information, possibly access metal, medical care, and other things. this is an indiscriminate violation of everyone's rights because on the protects of these protests. no, and i do share the concern because obviously as a citizen of here, i'll have to go through the same problem. but the job of the administration has to
10:19 pm
take some necessary steps, but as far as the policy, which is always spoken about see deals and fundamentals rights, we've been trying to get the services open. and now the service, the internet service is open and focused on, but those couple of days were difficult because the situation was such because no was being taken into, you know, that has the victim law. they were attacking buildings, they were bombing down ambulances. so it was a situation where of course, the of the administration has to take some necessary measures just to ensure that peace is sort of, you know, about well up to speed to. so i went around to line to shows in murray puck is on the federal minister for poverty alleviation and social safety safety. it would be good to catch up with you again, learn more about the situation there and focused on, but for now. thank you. the sites you without is there a lie from not in mosul to bring you on the program. turning our attention to
