11:38 am
distributing national university. explain to me why it's crucial to use the vaccine to come back and box. i think it's a very reasonable thing to use this vaccine now in the democratic republic of congo, that having a huge problem, se correctly said wrong, a to 20000 cases. all this money in this car and monkey box outbreak about 600 and so about a 3 to 4 percent case vitality, right? and the majority of those dates are insurance and, and, and not a terrible depths to some of them have subsidy. a blistering inside the mouth and throws that, they just comp peach or crate. so it's, it's, it's not, not a pretty situation at all. we have a vaccine develop for small thoughts, which can also work for monkey pulse. we know that from the 2022 outbreak, which is a different, some type of impulse to the one that we're talking about now when comes up. and
11:39 am
that is the data that we'll, we'll need as well to see if this back same will work as well with smallpox and the impacts claim to as it does for the claim one outbreak that's happening an applicant that you were talking there. of course, about the corporate outbreak and the outbreak of smallpox ality of on if we hadn't had the experience of those 2 outbreaks. do you think that this particular virus would have taken longer to get onto the become available? i think yes because of the influx outbreak in 2022, which uh went all over the world. so append damage. it allows rich nations to look into research vaccine production. and we've got a very effective what we call 3rd generation vaccine denials at the moment. and we know that so many people around the world have received the spectrum that we've got good safety, documented, not just. and that also even with the sort of off labeled use in children. so we
11:40 am
know good things about it. as i said, we still don't know. we played one this form of impulse. this is causing the big outbreak of the moment to come to, congo. how well it will treat that. but if you can look at the data from the small box and the impulse played to from 2022, and hopefully she'll be affected. i'm gonna head back to a told story and i was a funeral of american turkish activist. i should know s k, i a guy can take some life pictures, not from outside her family home in the town or do them on the west coast of turkey as she was shot and killed by an israeli soldier. and it happened in the occupied westbank while she was protesting against illegal is really the sacraments i just know was born and didn't vigils of also being held in the western us states. a city of seattle in washington state where she lives before we're going to go to wrestle center, who is outside the family home for us at russell, obviously as you've been describing to us over the last few hours, members of the public, people who know the family joining together with the family to pay their respects
11:41 am
to auction, or i understand that we are expecting her body to be brought to the family home. tell us what's going to be happening well indeed. now we are in front of her, some of the house in her own town. indeed him and the patients are on the way. so any time we're expecting her body to arrive here, these indeed there is a delay. and the reason for that have been talking to people in our family that has been quite a while that has she has been killed. and the whether he is here is extremely hot. so they have concerns about that my the body might somehow that's why that has been at the late however. yeah. expecting her body to arrive any time and right behind me, you can see that more and more people i'm now arriving right over there. the family members, the friends from turkey, from the usa,
11:42 am
or they're here and waiting to receive her body. indeed for long days over the past week. there being here hoping that this to have managed to take the i can was buddy out of his reyland. that's last night happen. so if her body has arrived in took here and it went to a top and a top c in the cities matrix, and then the officials to create a body in the, in the, in the city hospital here in did him as she has been there since last night and we had expected her to come any time here. indeed. just 15 days before she was killed, she has wasted her family here in her, in her house in this house. she stayed here just 15 days before being killed, and then she flew to georgia, then passed to westbank to protest the is riley, indigo settlers actions, and to convey the sufferings of the
11:43 am
a cnn to the world. so now today was her bodies is here at her family's house. the family is going to receive the confidence as they're going to see the coffins. her husband, her father, and her immediate family. they are here. and then right after that her body is going to be taken through the santa mosque. you did him right off the noon prayer. that would be a gen, as a prayer, and then she's going to be taken to the salmon city to us final destination. so now the calls are being made, then also with all the amazed by them on the spot at the end. of course, that goal is tricky of, and yours are quoting on people to join, to attend her funeral. the state dignitaries auto say arriving. that's why there are heavy tide security measures here. we can see at the top of the roof tops that are sniper, several snipers because the wife's presence of the company is 7 ministers. the leader of the position. and the head of the n g o is,
11:44 am
are going to be and off course, some of the us, the officials are also ex, packed to come. there was a question whether you guys, what patients are going to be present at your funeral as, as i should know. it is an american citizen as well. she was born in church here, but when she was just 11 months old for family move to the us in her entire life was in the say. so now we are expecting these to be a massive, massive gathering for her. seemed at all just in hours and rustle. we've been watching pictures over the last couple of hours or so people gathering. and as you say that there seems to have been a significant response to the iron, or is that just talk to us 1st of all, apart from the political reaction that we've seen, what is being the reaction amongst the people have to kia themselves to what has happened as well for here, here i said it was becoming a national 0 than an iconic figure now into a key. and people's for electricity is as opposed to collect divide of country. so,
11:45 am
but now it's interesting to see all the fractions across 30, all the segments of the society. it's almost united on her own. her name deleted off the position, has cooled her as a national hero, so that a top officials from the, from the government also the shearing. again, again, this sort of attitude, the announcements of this one, the deputies expressions of the sort of that it is with it, with it, with the family. so here she has a said has been quite an important figure that people are because she didn't her almost like a rachel accorded who was killed in 2003 in the guys that why she was protesting against the is riley forces demolition palestinians houses. so now forms more than 2 decades. i should also was in the west bank and trying to stop these riley in a go to settlers to grab the palestinian land. so turns are seen her as the 2nd. rachel corrie? and that's why she's now people when you talk with people,
11:46 am
you can see that they have degree if they have soto. however, on the other hand, they have carrying a power with as well. so thank you very much indeed for the moment as i started talking to us from i did them russians, obviously we're going to be coming back to what one actually knows body is carried towards her family home. but joining us here in the studio in mock owen jones, he's associate professor media analytics at northwestern university contractor to have you back with us again. i sure was finally has been calling for justice and given what we have seen on the way that in previous circumstances, which would be similar to this, where activist how being killed by these really ministry. and there has been an investigation by the is really military and that's kind of where it stops. what do you think the chances are that they are going to get the justice that the one i think we need to be clear whenever there is an in students of an israeli soldier, killing us citizen, whether that palestinian or an international citizen. ask but a hold of that will be no justice. that would be an illusion of justice perhaps if
11:47 am
that. but that certainly will be not justice. and to quote some previous examples. we've seen a number of international aid workers and residents of palestine killed since october. the 7th we've had to kind of thing and americans killed in the west bank. we've had 3 brits killed in garza. we've had to pose citizen until they've got we. american canadian citizen killed and gaza. none of those people got justice. the pre, the formula is really trial of one of its soldiers accused of killing people is the same. they will probably go after a low ranking officer, if they get that file, that low renting officer will be tried. possibly, they might be sentenced if they all sentence they will almost be certainly be released early. has this happened before? this is not just this, this is at most an illusion of justice. and most of the time, it doesn't even get to the point where the soldier will be incarcerated. so i want to ask you about the allegations that are being made about the us having double standards when it comes to its own citizens, being involved in incidents like this with
11:48 am
a is rarely military yet going by point you being saying, there is an investigation by these are in the military and that's essentially for the us involved and stop saying. but most of the document or the state department spokesman, how they are on and said that they were looking for the prompt photo and trans problems investigation. it's what it's, we've had so many times before and whatever the is really military usually comes out with just what the us accepts. so in terms of double standards, can you actually say that they're all double standards when the same thing keeps happening every time? now they're not double standards in terms of justice or accountability. maybe they're a double standards in terms of degrees of outrage or degrees of publicity. yes, the us folks, people have, have mentioned this and talked about it. but for them that's significant the fact. but even mentioned it is, is enough to have them in kids to double standards, but in reality, they are not going to do anything to hold as rel, accounts book. the death of an american citizen is just not going to happen. so there aren't really double standards in any substantive sent me seeing this. as i mentioned previous give you the fact that we've had international citizens killed
11:49 am
and the us has done nothing. and one of the reasons we have to bear in mind is that the us cannot admit that israel is unable to investigate its own military. because if they admit that is ro unable to do that, then they're going to be essentially endorsing. for example, international control quotes position, which is that they have to step in israel on able to investigate crimes committed by the state. so the us, the training a fine line where they basically con, be seen to endorse any sort of a inability of israel to investigate its own military, which is well, conte, but double standards. no. because again, you know, no matter who's killed in gaza, it seems that the us doesn't care and they will just default to the is ready to explanation. and by that, or at least use it to procrastinate and say, okay, the, is there a, these are investigating? we'll see what happens. so the exact same thing with the killing and the mode of chevy and apple oscar. they all just have a generalized right. even though eventually, after several denials by israel and,
11:50 am
and investigation, it was deemed that she was killed by his what he sold you. what did the us do? nothing. mock. thank you very much indeed my own jones. thank you. ok. let's go to the pro route. i was a late president about to force him or he is going to be buried on saturday after the state funeral motors will contain various types at the national museum in lima . for your body's body is lying in states. would you mind govern, improve between 199-2008 has spent 16 years in prison for corruption and human rights abuses it on wednesday, the age of 86. after a long baffled with cancer, people running superstitions for the poor and argentina feeling the pinch of drastic economic cutbacks. the urging president have a minute is we start a food distribution program which was halted in december. but it's a boat of thoughts from going to centers. is there a lifeline for millions of people in that time of economic strife, soup kitchens in argentine i showing the impact of presidents have you had i mean
11:51 am
these intensive force terry policies are we not in my lease pregnant and travel for more than an hour to pick up food for her 5 children in the capital. that's because the soup kitchen in her community is no longer getting supplies from the national government. so then you come in and go to ensure that we had set up a place to see dozens of people in the community. but since may late took office, we had to close it down because we were not getting food. so i come here to take back with icons for my kids and other children there. the government has hold to the distribution of food. i started to investigate soup kitchens and those running them accusing them of your regularities. community continues to push ahead his economic agenda by providing incentives for following investors and with a 0 deficit plan that includes increases in the price of health care medicines and food was flashing subsidies for utility services and transport. that's the most for
11:52 am
me to come for to make sure that we're making the most ambitious and profound structural reforms in recent decades. cycle encourage innovation, the quotes of companies, and ultimately the growth of full origin times. but this is happening is the levels of poverty have jumped to at least 55 percent of the population. millions of people do not depend on food banks and soup kitchen like this. when i'm told that over 3000 people are coming to this place to pick up food every day, it's just an example of the economic hardship that people in this country are facing this things. my daddy daddy and also runs 3. so teach in team when a site is, she has been working to help people in her community for years. rather sorry for keen. i am worried you know wine because milly is of mine who does not care about poverty. in fact, he thinks very badly of the pool. i requested some milk a while ago, and of course they take it as an attack. this is
11:53 am
a government made of notices that don't know the reality. don't know a, some don't know poverty and or soup kitchens struggling. government says there are signs of economic recovery in the country. but among those coming here, those signs are not visible. and many fee or their situation. we get even worse really. so i'll just see that when a site is, indonesia is middle class is getting smaller, you data, it shows the number of people categorized as middle class as dropped by more than 9000000 in recent years. and that's likely to have an impact on the economy. is jessica washington reports from jakarta, history to the entities and capital, disappointment, and disability. so pre, you know, had worked at a century that made gas stoves for almost 3 decades. very, i feel very, very side just as i'm approaching the time and it turns out the company's going
11:54 am
bankrupt of his colleagues have gathered to protest, but the factory director says the business had been struggling with weak demand in 2019 the factory experience to steep decline and product because people's purchasing power went down until now we've had difficulties in 2019 more than 57000000 innovations. we classified as mito cloths. the latest data indicates that number has dropped by about 9500000. excellent. say the decline is mostly due to increasing numbers of layoffs and fewer job opportunities. some sectors like the tech sales industry, seeing that was redundancies in more than a decade. denisa is one of the world's largest consumer market for private consumption. see try the economic growth. it accounts for more than the countries and that's largely powered by the middle class. the economists say this shrinking middle class may make it more challenging for the government to achieve its
11:55 am
television, indonesia becoming a high income nation by 2045. if the consumption a private consumption growth is not increasing. so uh, meaning that these, you know, a drop in a middle income class, a population, meaning that the, the, the source of economy growth, indonesia is also weakening. so i think it's, it is more difficult for indonesia to achieve higher economic growth with the situation. the government considers those who spend between $130.00 to $640.00 a month to be middle class. those just below this bracket are classified as aspiring middle class, meeting them, move on level to economic shocks, and the less likely to spend a lot my so i mean for us my husband still can find another job and his salary has not increased. my son is still unemployed,
11:56 am
just meeting all day the needs is on the affordable presidential. could we do since the declining middle class is not a problem that's unique to indonesia, to something affecting many countries. he blames a global economic slowdown. incoming president proposed to be enter was due to take office in october. it is promised to boost economic growth at create $19000000.00 jobs. for super you know, he can't help but look back to when times were easier. when his children would ask him for cash to buy snacks, and when he had the money to indulge them, jessica washington 0 to 0 to come to just before we go, i want to take you to as a ton of data, i'm on the west coast officer he took a, these are life pictures from there. the funeral is going to be held of turkish american act to this i should or as a i agent who was shot and killed by a news when the soldier, it happened that they occupied was buying cause it was protesting against illegal is rarely settlements. and you can see there is just some of the crowds has been
