in the united states and all around the world welcome tonight the world health organization has declared the ebola outbreak in the democratic republic of congo a public health emergency of international concern now that is a rare designation used only for the most serious epidemics it comes after the virus spread to the eastern city of goma on congo's border with rwanda ebola has killed more than 600 people in the country since last august the w.h.o. decision followed a meeting of experts in geneva today. the w.h.o. as chief says that the international community should now play a greater role in fighting the outbreak now is the time for the international community to stand in solidarity with the people of the democracy republic of congo not to impose peace even counterproductive restrictions that we only said to isolate them i stress these the government of b.r.c.

is doing everything it can they need the support of the international community for more now i'm joined on the line by christian lynn meier from the w.h.o. in geneva mr lynn meier it's good to have you on the program it tell me what can the international community do right now. but a couple of things of course and one of the 4th measures right now is for the world to realize it is a national community to ready realize that funding and support for the country is needed heavily the director general also said today and the states man that we need unless the international community steps up now and sons to respond now we will paying the movie paying for it is in the future in a much higher price so there is now a financial crime agreed before so called for strategic response plan is being

prepared and we don't have an effect from yet but it will run into hundreds of millions for this is an important part of the funding. and the monetary support but also the political support the need for the police political support and the monetary support to move ahead and 0 world remembers the last major ebola outbreak in africa back in 2014 and we know that the w.h.o. was criticised in due to budgetary cuts at the time promises were made back then to be better prepared the next time do you feel that you are better prepared this time. i think the whole world is better prepared this time and also because it is it was a fairly new situation and with it will end soon then we have many more improvements we have a vaccine we know what to do and how to find people and how to trace them how to may ring the vaccination around people who were infected who are infected. how to talk to the community that because let's not forget this isn't fees which are facts

of the community in an area where handling disease and handling sick people is a task for the family for the loved ones of the community to go and tell. such people in such a community to do that for us strangers tell them how to deal with a loved one is a huge task we know how to treat patients instead of having them in isolated pens they are now in tents which have a clear cover clear plastic sheeting so you can see through to the loved ones and outside the tent and watch and communicate with the sick ones inside the world has learned a lot since then i think the world is much better prepared but yet it needs money it needs funding and in its infancy. and the efforts of all to get all pulling together with the n.g.l.s on the ground with the ministry and the people on the ground of the communities don't forget the vast majority of the staff on the ground fighting the feeling of i think is able outbreak are congolese in the democratic

republic of congo i think to a missile in my that people around the world may be puzzled a little bit that if there is a vaccine for the bowl a virus then why is it still so difficult to control the spread of the virus is it is it because as you were saying that the local traditions of how to treat and handle the sick and the dead is that the biggest challenge. it is not the biggest it is it is actually something which a community in the stands very well and it's amazing it's not surprising how well the communities handle this and how much they have prepared from it in most cases the foreigners which are most of the time by the way congolese but not from there all the area so these are not these are not the reason for not from outside but we call established to tell them how to treat their loved ones one of the biggest challenges and it's issues it's a volatile cocktail which we feed and then you know he's calling on congress that's

on some get about a year ago we had an outbreak in the west of congo which was i think hardly anybody remembers because the most down to the because also treatment was given back seen rings when they contacts were found quickly and situation was put on the control this is the same things we would like to do in the northeast of congo but we do have a situation now where we have basically a civil conflict since he is an infant many years range and we have people in the thousands on the on the move and like leading across borders running away from conflicts and hiding being fearful of anybody who is a stranger coming into the entire town into the village into the area so this is a dangerous cocktail all right christiane with the w.h.o. joining us on the line tonight from geneva missile in my we appreciate your time tonight and helping us understand this breaking news situation with this ebola

outbreak thank you in sudan the pro-democracy movement in the country's ruling military council have signed a document outlining a power sharing deal it's an important step in the transition to civilian rule following april's military overthrow of the dictator omar al bashir the 2 sides are still working on a more contentious constitutional agreement which lays out the division of powers but today there was time to stop and celebrate. these signatures marked the end of a bitter power struggle sudan's military and opposition have agreed to install an interim government 1st to be headed by the military and then by the opposition new elections will be held in 3 years time. it's a historic moment in the painful history of the sudanese people it marks the beginning of a new era in which the army and armed units will work together with all civilians
