8:32 pm
with the police he was not a mandate to arrest all detain anyone several times we respectfully asked him to report to the police station but he seemed to be ignoring our son through the mandate we have we have decided to arrest him for failing to apply you have police order to find you. know of the seat is a different one cab and you are stands accused of assisting a criminal record tax evasion and money laundering his fellow tanzania. there are the reasons behind the rest of the prize winning journalist. of the whatever the police force wants to arrest you for anything they need to clearly explain to you the reasons for your arrest and also the police need to inform your neighbors and family about your arrest but this is something which our police force did not do when arresting cop and there are. local media report that cub and us 80 year old mother has pleaded with authorities to lose her son human rights organizations say

8:35 pm
not been interrogated for the charges which the alternatives have now brought forward so the law is said he was a little bit confused about where these charges were coming from the lawyer was also categorical in stating that he believes that have been there was history of journalism is what has brought him here in other words that the charges might be in the right that these charges might be in retaliation for his critical so so is this simply another attack on press freedom in tanzania or is there more to it i would object to the use of what simply just because every single attack we've seen on press freedom in tanzania is great news and is concerned it's all into its own weight. having said that we have seen a history old press freedom attack sometimes in the uk for the last few years. have included media shutdowns and suspension the use of restrictive legislation and it was still called the full answers to what happens to

8:37 pm
the un peacekeepers are here to help stabilize south sudan ravaged by years of brutal civil war. but as the convoy heads from the capital juba to the southern town of jay the road is littered with evidence of violent lawlessness burned out cars scattered clothing discarded boots despite a cease fire between the government and the rebels armed groups harassed and robbed the civilians in the area local government officials are powerless to intervene. to get to see them. but these are life just under the market and the good deceiving that is i think this is the most ruthless gentleness. the conflict that broke out in 2013 pitted president salva kiir against then vice president react. the war killed as many as 400000 people over 4000000 people have been displaced half of them fled to neighboring countries such as
8:38 pm
uganda or sudan the deal struck last year has halted major hostilities according to the un refugees are beginning to trickle back across the border. coming back. we see movement back into the villages but we're just still have many many houses in the city richard. but only a lasting peace will allow south sudan to put violence and destruction behind it i'm not. we need this peace to prevail especially as we women are the ones suffering carrying children why yet cooking for children we have my schools for children. with nothing. with the peace process stalling it might be some time before the people here can begin to rebuild their lives.
