7:12 pm
battle ground. 5060000 palestinians, living in a densely populated camp where fighting is you know, the street, the street as a, as close quarters. people are worried that some of them are trying to get out, but they haven't been able to make their way out of fighting has spread across the camp. so these people are worried and these people are poor. if they do not work today, they aren't able to put food on the table. so it's a dire situation that humanitarian catastrophe in the making. if no, a solution to this conflict is found center for their algebra 0 on the outskirts of item haddaway. representatives from the 15, latin american and caribbean countries agree that they have failed in their war on drugs. on the final day of the 3 day conference co hosted by columbia and mexico and the colombian city of kelly, the group says that it needs to find new ways to tackle the crisis that is played the region for decades. the cultivation of cocaine is at an all time i and many
7:13 pm
countries are seeing an upsurge in drug violence as bringing i always send a ramp at the who's at the summit and cali. sali sandra, there's, there's agreement that the one drugs hasn't work. that's in fact the entire premise of this summit, but once plan b, as well as that's what the different categories are discussing about. uh and right now what we understand is that there isn't agreement on exactly what plan b would be and what regulating drugs would be, what there is an agreement on as the fact that the, the approach needs to change the narrative needs to add to change. because prohibition alone has not managed to stop this uh, this illegal business. i mean, instead that's created very grave consequences in countries like colombia and
7:14 pm
nobody here is saying that to it, we need to end going after the big mafias. and we were talking here to some of the international representatives that are here, but many are saying that they are not ready to discuss. for example, legalizing cocaine. other countries like columbia instead are insisting that it's time to start talking about that. and the pointing got the fact that, for example, alcohol was persecuted a 100 years ago in the us. and that only create that powerful mass us or that the, the most successful control of a substance has been tobacco. where focusing on public health and prevention has helped to reduce the numbers in many countries of users. but here's what i don't understand this summit at this stage and understand we're still waiting for the final statement statement seems to be caught somewhere in this great area of. we agree that what we use to do didn't work, but at the same time, we're not ready to have
7:15 pm
a serious conversation about legalizing cocaine and doing you know, and doing a total $180.00. so again, where are we in this great area? well we're probably somewhere around 90 degrees, more than a $180.00 and there is again, an agreement that's with it. but not only what has been doing by what they're doing right now. what we're still doing right now is not working right. and the numbers are there half a 1000000 that in latin america due to the war on drugs. 3 trillion us dollars spent by the us alone to try and stop drug production at 2 out of production to countries like columbia federal and, and back. whether it's here we are talking about all time high production of cocaine and this year. so the, i think that what's important now and if you talk, for example, to the president of columbia, mexico, we're here is that we start talking about anything that this can be a 1st step. and that they're hoping that
7:16 pm

a given the magnitude we wouldn't see i would like what, what brought me like, how many people like, i mean, i've trapped within that rather than would be rescued whether there would be live or out of that. but it's, it's confined, although it has been felt in places like casablanca and robots and other places. but it's confined within a center, which is so the east of america. so the other house province is the province that it is most, but also when you cross the mountains towards the south west through fine settled, then that's also come use on that either side of the mounts as you fix it to the east of the the what is, is that area that are villages which are affected and towards the west, which the show problems dot effects. it's after the same uh, earthquake in 2004 has put together this kind of makeup land for erupted intervention. whenever there is these kind to say, so teams have been ready for any kind of thing. and this is the moments when did
7:22 pm

a polling station in molly schools. across this island city turned over to the election permission for the day. but at the office knew nearly 50 percent of voters had already registered the pay and many said they would please. the process was going smoothly. yeah, what i'm very satisfied with the voting went it is very organized going well, it was done well. if it's still good. we waited for so long. but this moment also watching the process carefully is the european union. it has a full team member team of election monitors in place. the eager to stress the knowledge, prisons necessarily mean they were expecting problems. the number of shows we have been reinforced all totally to say the core team that i do see the difference between of many set of transitional sort of the engineering and other countries. joining us about the number is the reflection go public commitment is not about if
7:24 pm
there is any particular apartment. the logistics of managing election over nearly $200.00 items in the indian ocean presents considerable challenges, but few reports of complications or irregularities. although a rather disappointing turn out of just 75 percent, does not excel oppose close the account status of each pulling station collating its own tickets? hold onto the books for my monitors, policy members, and interested members of the public. with the account now underway, the bulk of the boat seemed to be going to prison slowly and his main rival, dr. moiz, the other 6 punches are picking up enough foods. so it is unlikely a single window with a much and that in turn will lead to a run off election slightly later this month. tony chang l 20. bangladesh is made opposition, party is calling for mass protests. they are demanding that the government's resignation. and they are demanding for general elections to take place under
