2:39 am
from the summit. and kelly as well is that there is consensus, at least among the countries that participates in this conference on the need for change on the fact that the, the worldwide drug policy needs to be more comprehensive and needs to focus more on human rights on attacking the highest level drug traffickers, instead of low level of farmers, for example, as it happens here in columbia and focusing on reducing the demand in the countries that consume most of those drugs. namely the united states or many countries in europe. but that has been a point that was addressed in particular by the president of columbia. gustavo pits are saying that the countries like the united states need to understand or, or look more at themselves and that the issues of public health, that the,
2:40 am
or the underlying causes of why so many of their citizens and that addicted. that and, and, and suffer by this, this court of drug, they say the country, so you're upset that for too long. now, the focus has been only a law enforcement to $11.00, and despite 3 trillions us dollar spends half a 1000000 that's here in columbia in the past few decades, trying to and drug trafficking their results is that the, for example of coke up production is as high as have or what essentially these countries are agreeing on is demanding the words to look at this from a different perspective. and that the, the policies that have been put in place so far have failed. and instead there's can be a new approach and they're hoping to bring this document that they signs here today with these 10 main points at the 2024. and you and commission on
2:41 am

2:42 am
a grave risk to 11 on the 2 sides had agreed to cease 5, but fighting erupted again on south in the morning for people to i'll just say it was a no hold, it has more of an outside the i'm a headway refugee efforts to end the fighting have so far failed ceasefire. agreements have broken down time and time again. the fast movement of protestant in precedence must move a bass is apt war with a number of arms groups that call themselves the muslim to use for thought is demanding that the muslim group, the use a hand over 8 suspects police to be responsible for assassination. one of his senior commanders, they're also demanding that the, the muslim youth vacate the positions that they have set up and you and run schools inside the camp so that the academic school year can begin. so far, the most of them use is refusing to do that. but the bottom line is this. these are groups that have been via vying for control. and of, i'm of how do we, comp,
2:43 am
it's one of the, if the, if it is the largest, probably assuming refugee camp and 11 on. and so this is, this is really a struggle for power last months in the previous balance of violence, of, you know, people were worried that to it was, it would just be a question of, well, when not if the classes will renew because you know, the core of this conflict has not been, has not been resolved. tens of thousands of people are now trapped in an urban battle ground. 5060000 palestinians, living in a densely populated camp where fighting is no street to street. 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,
2:44 am
a solution to this conflict is found center for their elders, either on the outskirts of item haddaway degrees now with flood waters beginning to recede, rescue efforts continuing while far to start to assess the loss of damage to property 11 people are confronted. i'll just bear with john syrup, police reports from central police. these school notebooks would have flown off the shelves next week when the greek school year begins there on usable now because they sat on the lower shelves of this stationary shop in the village of all of us, which was flooded down the street. there's a stench of spoiled meat from 2 butcher shops and the local supermarket is throwing everything out a quarter of a $1000000.00 worth of damage in this business alone. the police have come from all over the country, feeling an outbreak of lawlessness, but angry residents said that's not the kind of state that they were looking for. they put in the front end because we've kept it as 3. use
2:45 am
a go card. so was flooded and now it happened in the surrounding villages. no slug, prevention had been done yet. millions had been spent. but on nothing substantial. living with climate change now things are going to get worse. people need to be able to live, look and invest in their locality. otherwise they should tell us the areas uninhabitable. and we should leave. the government admitted it took 3 years merely to assign an updated national flood risk assessment that will take 2 more years to carry out opposition mt says it has dragged its feet, found that the documents to the settings. we publish the false maps in 2018 west to sally, and especially velocity painted red, red meant danger. instead of dictating a plan to try and at least limit danger from flooding, the government ignore this. this huge delay is an admission of incompetence and say yes. there is anger against the authority here when the head of the regional
2:46 am
government visited by them us. this is what happened. the people here not only ruined they have taken on much of the rescue, they feel abandoned and the bracing themselves for the death count even of eclipse . day. i've never cried, but yes, today i cried. we saw people floating inside the homes through the windows. we didn't count how many, but we couldn't do anything for them. i believe we're going to have a high death toll when the walks at f o trucks will see the number of bodies yesterday in casinos, we sold the clothes marks on windows for people to try to get out of the homes. the government says that the fire service has rescued nearly $3000.00 people and it will start paying emergency compensation of $5000.00 to $8.00 and a half $1000.00 on monday. but it has kept silent on the number of miss seeing and drowned, and some people here don't believe that the full desk tool will ever be made public . in the meantime, local volunteers are still doing everything they can to keep that death toll from

2:48 am
also what seem the process carefully is the european union. it has a full team member team of election monitors in place a little bit with eager distress the knowledge presence. necessarily mean they were expecting problems. the number of shows a commitment. we have been reinforced so totally to say the core team that i do that so they can be paid off many 7 of frontier. so sort of the engineering and other countries. joining us about the number that is the reflection of our commitment is not about if there is any particular department. the logistics of managing election over nearly $200.00 islands in the indian ocean presents considerable challenges, but few reports of complications or irregularities. although a rather disappointing turn out of just 75 percent, it does not sell the poles close the account status of each pulling station, collating its own tickets. hold onto the books when i have monitors policy members, an interested members of the public, with account no underway,
2:49 am
the bulk of the boat seemed to be going to prison slowly and his main rival, dr. moiz, the other 6 punches, picking up enough boats. 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 as main opposition parties quoting from mass demonstrations that demanding the government's resignation. a new general elections under a can take our administration tons of your challenges that are around the, in the capital dot com is adding up for the election in january 2024. the political environment in the country is getting increasingly confrontational and wallet time. the authorization probably is i've been tiring, i've done this pricing and protests across the country since the beginning of this year or but the decades, the opposition claims more than half a $1000000.00 opposition party members are facing various kind of charges most are
2:50 am
fabricated by the government on it's proud is riding high on the idea that it is done well economically over the decade. and it we're doing well in the coming election. we spoke to some of the people got out there today and not opposed to a name dot com. this is what that to say the, we're here to demand and election under cafe to administration, a more into freedom back on some money to ourselves under these hot economic times and to live in peace. the like, there is no democracy in bunch edition now. and we faced g like detention if we speak out against the government. i was arrested for speaking and just got released a week ago. we don't want an election under she cut team is government. security is type like drug, the city that main demand is related to all the political prisoners. i heard of the general election, including the former prime minister color. that's the chairperson of the main
2:51 am
opposition party who's currently under. how is that? it's not just the opposition party members who are taking part in this. riley, people from various walks of life are taking part in does rarely because a comic situation is quite died over in bangladesh. you'd a high end place and an improving cost of living. many of the people in low wages are pricing difficult challenges. now the opposition parties are saying the only way to restart stability and democracy is to have the general election. under caretaker administration, the government fully rejects that demand from the charge. they all just it all knock off veterans, that african politician and zulu prince mancha. so to but you lazy has died at the age of $95.00. he found it being costs of freedom bought in 1975, which was embroiled and bloody territorial battles with a non winning amc and clubs with him town during the 1918 that he was

2:53 am
. chris compa was weeks away from becoming a father when his parents and the rest of the family along with campaign is now demanding. as for the case, crown prosecution service to bring charges against that particular police officer who was suspended accused of gross misconduct, but still receiving full pay. will the family say is the fall too much time is being wasted. they affected us as a family and it fit to the why the communities, how we already police and how we already traumatized. so it's been hard for us to to get any decisions like for whole year it's just additive trauma. it just added to the trauma and it just shows us what the system is full and who it's not for. chris was so in the head execution side because he was blocked. you tell me anyone else thing in my car car that wasn't his i didn't, he was not a suspect of any crime can be and something needs to be in. so in the head that
2:54 am
wouldn't happen to anyone else. so we know as a community has family like this happened because there is a wide context for all of this because since 1990. well then, 1800 people have died in police custody or shortly off so many of the young, black man and 91 serving police officer is ever being charged in relation to these steps. chris comp is finally say that these figures simply don't add up. the bulk around to 0, london. now i select a group of people in the u. k. you would have one letter of the universal declaration of human rights tattooed on them as part of an international on project . it's meant to celebrate the landmark document on spotlight regions where human rights is a concern. some of the i get reports from manchester. it is a living breathing artistic project. with a canvas is the body, the paint inc, don't skin each person. the different story to tell with

2:56 am
so the idea that i'm kind of imprinting, that message on myself feel, is really important and helpful. it is the biggest project of its kind for the past 11 years artist and found the sound of a bustle has towards $77.00 countries to raise awareness of the declaration and to meetings. we connect those taken pods. it is partially self funded, sometimes growing so donations by a pay as much as you want the system go back to the projects so it can take place in pennies, but conk cover the cost. it's also a reminder of the message at the house of the document. we are carrying this declaration together and making it come to life as an artwork. it's not signed by me. it's signed by o, all those thousands of people. so is that, that's the way it's community artwork is on the done my. all right, so i'm really the architect of the concepts from mexico to
