and are executed by the police without charges without trial you don't use folk to whistle blower who revealed an underground war on crime that's believed to have claimed more than three thousand lives last year. october two thousand and seventeen it's been two days since my mom pry own lost her son brian one thousand years old executed by the police. state and you are totally what worked for you. brian lived in one of nairobi slum the police suspected him of being a thug and thieves but his mother disagrees. before i make fun. joyce was brian's friend a neighbor here in her community is where he was killed along with his three friends. i had taken to. the policeman on the one who gunned

down. there is more evidence images of brian and his dead friends published on facebook joyce says the police themselves posed the pictus to instill fear and brand the victims as criminals. filming at the city more trees for britain but it seems that the killing of brian and his friends was not an isolated incident we're told that twenty to fifty corpses arrive here every day almost all killed by the police. dr brian beach anger is an independent forensic expert he confirms that cases like brian's are part of a larger pattern. into was to be to the back into one's head and to one's to the chest when objective or when one who's trying to get back in the head in the chest is not to immobilize you it's difficult. for police

repeatedly denied to w.'s request for an official interview. one officer inside the system however says he's against the extrajudicial killings and wants to uncover the actions of nairobi's police he agrees to talk to as anonymously as he fears for his life. so the procedure is as a cop you're given an order you don't know where the order comes from you're told hey this is what's happening and now it's time to shoot to kill and then you go you land within that process if you don't get the right guy you'll end up killing the wrong guy and if you get the right guy you also kill the right guy without prosecution and nobody cares. crime and thrive the prisons are full and for many police the lives of those who live in the slums are worthless until now thousands of extrajudicial killings in kenya have been covered up and gone

unreported. friend's family at his funeral they feel that he like so many other young men was stripped off to dish or process and his human rights. and it's a sad certainty that bryant won't be the last young man will fall victim to nairobi's fight against crime. now in zimbabwe the main opposition leader morgan tsvangirai is reported to be critically ill in a south african hospital his supporters have been told to quote brace for the worst the sixty five year old has been in and out of a hospital since disclosing they had colon cancer two years ago he returned to a johannesburg hospital for his latest round of treatment in early january. i did use christina recently returned from zimbabwe where she spoke with morgan chang that i think christine thanks for joining us what did you learn about his condition when you saw him sumi when i walked into morgan trying to guys office in november

last year it was an interview about the politics at the time and this was actually on the day robert mugabe was also from office he is not the man that i had to watch to give speeches adrenaline as he was a diminished morgan trying to get i both in posture and he's voice is say i struggle to hear him have to meet him very closely he whispered he's voice would sort of wither away he was so frail i got up close and personal him i was trying to put the mike onto his should to feel he's saying i could feel you know it was just the weakness that he had in these arms and i remember making a remark seeing him and saying to mr president i wish you well when we left but fast forward to two last week and we got reports that his family had wanted to bring him over to europe to see specialists yet but that south african doctors who've been treating him had advised against it simply telling him that he's body wasn't strong enough to take the toll of the long haul flights to europe this comes at a time where zimbabwe has seen

a lot of political upheaval former president robert mugabe has stepped down and were facing elections what role would this illness play and impact in all of this sumi what role has it already paid since he sort of took a backseat a back seat when he announced his illness we've seen senior members in the the m.d.c. party just seem to take over from him and that's essentially split the party be in d.c. is that you know no stranger splitting they've sensor twice in the past and and then this looking now and saying this is potentially a situation for another split once he steps away from the home of the party but yet it's in a very bad shape right now that party and he himself going into this election he's idea was that the m.d.c. should merge with the smaller parties opposition parties in zimbabwe so that there is a strong opposition but because of the specific party right now the. senior officials can't get along and they have for sure that if it's not it makes the opposition weak and the weak opposition only gives a win essentially to innocent and so on p.

if and so that you've got it in d.c. in disarray you also have. opposition in general in disarray but one thing analysts and anybody can tell you in zimbabwe is that morgan trying to write is the face of what because opposition in zimbabwe you don't have any of the person as credible as he is as an opposition figure many people have had for the end of gone on to form parties it's just not been bought by the people of zimbabwe so this guy if they call this man the godfather of opposition policies in zimbabwe said that is how crucial he is going into the selection the fact that he won't be needing his posse potentially for one and the reason is a massive blow to the opposition it is putting the wind back in the sails of illness among the who by the way is cruising along at this point in time since that prop and look up the ouster and there are no other figures in the opposition who could also unite them unfortunately not created but as he has been the issue with a lot of these people they were crystal got the allies and then walked out in st we are no longer on because his side by all story and the simply said we don't trust

you morgan trying to is the one person who gave robert mugabe sleepless nights people saw all of the struggle theorists people saw all of this you know when he came out and had been told two thousand and seven because the world never forget bruised and battered and he came out there and he said i'm defiant as if right for the opposition saying brace for the worst or he is in critical condition as we're hearing christine well thank you very much. not to some other stories making news around the world poland's president says he will sign a controversial holocaust bill into law but due to says he will let the country's constitutional court decide on a flood gallatin now this bill makes it illegal to suggest that poland was involved in nazi germany's crimes and bans the term polish death camps israel and the u.s. have criticized the bill. lawmakers in the maldives say. the soldiers have forced their way into the country supreme court building it comes just after the government declared a state of emergency in response to a spiraling political crisis the country's president is defying
