11:12 am

11:14 am
on many other countries around the world as a continent we are being negatively affected in terms of why economies. critics doubts whether the african initiative can work saying it lacks both the leverage and wait to push forward the solution or the see it as a step in the right direction. the not someone to do it or yeah, a real settlement on this issue can begin early if there's a clear winner in the ground for there's a deadlock early in this case. can we talk about a 3rd party? and here the african initiative will have a huge cumulative effect hold the previous initiative. the chinese african under brazilian will come together after certain states that form the basis of a supplement to do that. then at 10 thought i expect it to continue to bring both sides to the table. it's very rare, that's african lee,
11:15 am
that's all for the mitigation to solve such and. busy they look twice for the water . ukraine is having a major impact on the continent, especially with the threats exposing different supplies. it's almost listed that even if the piece that doesn't go through, it's ideas could have a positive impact on the company. i'd be ashan, i just, you know, that's good. a start heading out, does it have we're gonna have an update on a school attacking uganda that's killed more than 40 people, many of some students. and bridging the gulf side, there may be as fodder in minnesota officially advisor randy and president abraham . right? you see to be at the color, we have something of a fine with a sandwich across europe. now clear skies into the central pos at long last, got

11:17 am
areas once again, but a few sat with sadie, possible dest central parts of here, for those that's got to be fun and try, hey, be sure i was right across the west. the facing liliana, teens. the un fits the purpose was like many critics sites just pub solution doesn't get anywhere near enough done to the amount of money that is poured into its hard hitting interviews. you think look to their lives on washington enough for money to go on its own and built it's on a thought provoking on for centuries, people have been taken care of are. so i have every confidence that future generations will do it as well via the story on told to how does era the, the
11:18 am
the, the watching all just didn't remind them. i told stories this out your secretary and say time to be bring to this meeting. china is fine, i'm not assessing guy. and visioning is the 1st touch visit in 5 years. a meeting of february was postponed after a suspected chinese island flu over the us. thinking to jane are expected to discuss the taiwan as well as trade on the south china sea and a phone call last week she said the us should stop interfering in china's internal affairs. new 3 days, east fire has begun. it's done pictures real quick by the us. the saudi arabia follows the killing on saturday of 17 people in an air strike on the capital. the top 2 holes of opened a monday for a constitutional referendum is the 1st and the series oppose the menu to enable the transition military to civilian rule. but opponents and the proposals would give
11:19 am
the president too much power. the military seems to control and 2021 for more. and this we're going to be joined by nicholas high in the capital obama. coal, you're outside of pulling station there. how confident are people that their voice is going to be heard next? well i'm at this pulling station and the few people that i've spoken to are really excited to get their voices heard. i spoke to mister cc, who came at 8 o'clock this morning. let me show you how this voting is taking place . people come here, they look at the list, they find their names, and then they come inside this pulling station were inside a school that has thrown into pulling station. and they pick up 2 of these, the one that says we yes. and the other that says no and the take this in an envelope and are taken to the voting booths. right behind me.
11:20 am
cast their ballots inside here and get their finger printed just here. it's a hugely significant moment, formality until up until now have use the streets demonstrations to try to get their voices heard and know what they're finally going to get to have a say on how would they are governed with this new constitution? it's a important moment and significant because if it's a vote we're supposed to take place in march, but it's 30 years in the making. it's been 30 years that governments have try to change this constitution and have this referendum. and it seems that assuming going that the leader of the modern military june, has succeeded where previously elected presidents have failed in organizing this vote and organizing conversation around this referendum the pulling station where
11:21 am
you're talking to us from seems very well organized, but this vote of course is taking place across the vast stretches of knowledge. what are the difficulties and challenges of holding this vote? that's right rep. there's a 1000000 molly ins. they're expected to vote today, but many of them will not be able to cast their ballots because there are large swath of land, the north end of the center of the country that are in the hands of arms groups linked to al qaeda. and i. so add to that there are those arm groups to, to our groups who disagree with this referendum. so we know that in the northern town of keep out, there is no vote taking place in tim book to there's been threats made by our groups and that they would attack pulling stations. so there is an element of fear, but here in but my go, there is an element of defiance. and in the face of this year where i sense, but molly and really wants to get their voices heard and really want to push
11:22 am
forward in distress that referendum. and this change and constitution, the reason being is that many millions feel that the rules, the way that volumes are gover, a concrete conflict. and they believe that changing this text will be a step towards peace and, or return towards democratic rule and are constitutional order. so i see me going to says that once this referendum goes through, is people vote yes. then in february 2024, there will be a presidential election and they'll be a return to civilian rule under a new constitution that would give greater power to the president, but also greater autonomy to the regions. and that would pay the way for this a piece of court that was signed in 2015 between the armed groups and the government and bring back some elements of sovereignty for molly. and this is what
11:23 am
this vote is all about. it's about trying to create legitimacy and sovereignty from all the ones that have felt torn with the violence in a country that's been under attack for almost 10 years. rob nick, thank you very much. obviously is the vote cavities on over the next few hours. we're going to be checking in with you to see how things are going certainly in biological, but elsewhere. but for now, nicholas hoc in bunco. thank you very much. indeed, as to whether you are in the secretary general has condemned the awesome and gun attack on a school in western uganda, at least 41 people, most of the students were killed when the schools dormitory was set on fire in important way in the congress. these border, others were shot or hacked to death. and you've got an army is hunting fighters from the allied democratic forces who were being blamed for the attack. catherine, sorry reports. apollo black house had left the boat, a town of pondering in darkness. an on demand, a talked student said they was sleeping, went online to democratic forces,
11:24 am
forced their way into hot stells store food from a store and burned a dormitory. some of the students will have to, to desk with marcia to use and boxes. others were killed when the rebels designated upon some survive by hiding under the bodies of the dead fellow students. what's the trouble of getting ready to sleep? when we heard people shouting, we saw a man wearing down at green clothes with guns, axes, and machetes. they wanted us to open the too much, we do, then they started shooting. they also went to the goats hospitals. you've gunned on policies opposite the rebels who are believed to have fled into the room, got national talk in eastern democratic republic of congo. adf is based in benny territory in norfolk, you will province that both as b. r. campbell, and west and uganda. the monday to kayla,
11:25 am
send me that of what we have sent helicopters to look for the rebels and bring back the children who have been abducted. the group had its roots in weston, uganda, in 19 nineties, where it was fighting for more rights for muslims. it was pushed out of the country by the military, changed its name and has been in benny for more than 20 years. and recently pledge allegiance to i, so the uganda government went back home with this partners, have a is top is what they call locations to job, which is emily to joint meetings. you ok, so i guess the idea of i'm in the past few months we have seen a manual onslaught by all patients who don't know why the car by the, i guess the idea of when they are and that these kind of plays out. they didn't start to start attracting civilians. when most of the talks have been on, kimberly sewing you've done that has seen an increase in adf activity in reason is
11:26 am
that included a suicide bomb, a talk in a business district, all the capital compiler 2 years ago that killed 3 people and injured others, attacks such as those have prompted both governments in uganda, n d r c. to do more to present, i repeat. after you saw you all to 0 runs, president obama rice has been officially invited to visit saudi arabia in the latest sign of improving relations between the gulf. rivals, society, father, minister, prince 5400. are followed. may the invitation during the 1st high level visit to, to find and 7 years side is, are planning to reopen their embassy. uranium capital radians reopen. fair embassy . re add earlier this month. kind of remind level that is a former us diplomats and she says that our security implications associated with the changing relationship between around inside peer review. it certainly is good for saudi ready to be a good free ron and good for the region. is it good for the united states?
11:27 am
well, the agreement to china brokered back in march just a couple of months ago between iran in saudi arabia has the potential to completely transform the way that security operates in. because in the middle east, from a, from a, an architecture we might say, a security architecture that is right now, based in the us dominated military set of military alliances against certain countries. especially iran, what china has done with saudi arabia and with the ron, is open the door to a completely new security architecture that would be based on cooperative security, cooperative security with its main pillar being economic interaction and integration. that is completely against us policy. and the us approach to the middle east for decades. so is it good for the united states? i hope it all does work out. but in terms of how the policy makers,
11:28 am
as far as looking at it here in washington, they're, they're in a bit of shock. for people who have a food is getting harder to find on gangs or typing their grips and talks to end. the crisis have failed again. john home and reports that have been moved. civilians killed in heights even ukraine in the 1st months of the 2023 according to the united nations. well, food program, how for games that battling over much police in the street to the cap to pull the prints in the middle, the population, expand it, but as our lives in city slay. in epi center of the violence, a step of what we show they don't have doorstep. now she's worried about her doing so. so it would them look at all the peanut toes that my to and my ceiling. i ask for help, so my daughters can go to the school. i don't want them to be at the streets exposed to the criminals. they are goes sexual violence is royce, in height. the gangs use right to count and control the population and the domains
