5:09 pm
underestimate the amount of people in this country who all fervent supporters all of president trump i mean in the past 10 months we've seen the number of people who believe that america's success depends on the openness of the country for 6 percentage points to now stand at 62 percent and i think it's fair to say even president trying to track his have said that stoking this kind of racial animosity could help him secure a 2nd term now what is so on precedented is that in the modern day era all successful presidential campaigns have run on politics all of inclusion here of course very clearly we are seeing politics of division and i should point out as well that by targeting these congress women who belong to the progressive caucus of the democratic party he is making them the face of the democratic party so any centrist voters who perhaps he considers giving their vote to the left of center
5:10 pm

5:17 pm
a city of more than a 1000000 people on the border with rwanda. or one does border with the democratic republic of congo health workers in yellow vests checking travel as temperatures before allowing them to enter just across the border in the city of goma the death of a traveling pastor has sparked fears the disease could spread now congo's a bold outbreak has been declared a public health emergency of international concern by the world health organization . but the w.h.o. has stopped short of calling it a global threat saying the virus can still be contained regionally without travel bans. that does not require any less strict sions on travel or tread which rather than stopping it. can actually hamper the fight so i dress directions force people to use informal and
5:18 pm
border crossings increasing the potential for the spread of this is what. i knew about all the vaccine is proving highly effective but a looming shortage of the drug has health officials worried dosages have been hard to prevent a shortage. that we have a gap in vaccine and there is a limitation of supply we wouldn't have been involved in the just of doses if we had adequate supplies a vaccine available right now so excel raising the real ability of actually that's a priority it's been almost a year since the latest eyeball outbreak began in the region more than $1600.00 people have died and twice as many have been infected international donors are being asked to step up funding to stop the crisis from spreading further. said
5:19 pm
the latest from outside who works for the aid organization know world vision and joins us from goma but welcome to day w what is the situation varing go. the situation eve's quite tense in going there in the sense that aid agencies and health which is extremely worried about the spread of a ball ah it's been one year since of all the 1st broadcast in north and already we are at more than 2 and a half 1000 cases every single day since continue to rise and as we're hearing reports of a potential case in rwanda across the border the border is a just sorry for us and sorry there's definitely a race that the ball that could spread across the border and to other regions but responders on the ground and doing acts salut leave everything they can to stop that from happening and what sort of effect does that have on daily life and go.
5:20 pm
well actually for the past year people in government have been quite prepared city of all the response in the sense that when you walk down the streets people who don't tend to touch each other on necessarily also u.k. food don't shake hands we migrate to each other when you go to hotels all restaurants or even offices so workplaces people are getting their temperatures checked they're all sorry and washing their hands and making sure they stay clean sorry definitely people in government has responded really well to the prevention. we heard in the report about limitations of supply of the vaccine what's behind the shortage. look vaccines are incredibly expensive and everyone there is that funding for the of all the response has been a critical issue for the for the entire year that of all it has been writing in north kivu well vision doesn't instill that sainz our focus is on prevention
5:21 pm
because we think prevention is just as crucial as traits and especially as we start to see children making up to 30 percent of all the cases which is really tragic so is the vaccine shortage because they can't afford it or that. the vaccine dosage is just not physically available. look i guess that's a question for the world health organization and others who are administrating that that same focus is on prevention but definitely we support saying the vaccines rolled out into muniz he's because it's being prioritized and it is making a difference sorry i think every piece of the puzzle comes together and really helps in the response of people around the world will look at this and wonder why do these outbreaks keep occurring we one gets contained and then beaten and then it
5:22 pm
pops up again why is that. look of all the is just such an incredibly contagious disease and this is actually the day us these 10 of all algebraic however it's the 1st algebraic to everich in north kivu and what's different about north kivu compared to other agents for example is the fact that we have this ongoing threat of violence which has handed a bald responders on the ground we have heard about security risks and even attacks on health workers who are just trying to do their job and make a positive difference for people who are living through it all on the ground sorry i guess just because they use this threat of violence does not mean that we should stop responding we we take the precautions that we can in order to stay safe in the field but we edge the international community to not stop funding their response
5:23 pm
