6:32 pm
ruling party the nice. 2 very different views of the same boat. candidate philippe new u.z. had 4000000 507549 votes. the incumbent and his supporters call the official results a landslide but the opposition sees it as a whitewash the real results painted over something echoed even within mozambique's electoral commission we are witnessing here a national shame. 8 members just under half of the national electoral commission say the commission's most important election tasks were done in secret without them and a final vote document does not include their signatures the commission chairman though says everything was done by the book.
6:33 pm
the electoral commission congratulates itself on the conduct of the 6th general presidential legislative and 6 provincial elections. authorities say more than 50 percent of registered voters took part in the election a vote it was hoped that would calm tensions in mozambique. for more on this our correspondents at increase joins us in a nice to have you you it. was just a week ago so you witnessed everything that went on officer results you see. constable he won the election but i mean the position of a novel is questioned the results what exactly are they complaining about. well they complain about intimidation vote rigging and violence it's not only their enamel complaining about these things but also several election observers reported
6:34 pm
irregularities the european union observer mission for example complained about an unjustified used of stage resources during the campaign time and i also if this is some of the complaints myself that the governing party for example used the police resources at their free disposal when we were researching in there in our most they would just call the police on us because they didn't like what we're doing and told them to seize our equipment and the police just went ahead without asking questions and look took us a long time to solve the situation but it shows that we can talk of a free and fair election here now of course i don't position the members are complaining cluedo anomaly the main opposition what could this mean for the peace deal both parties sign in august and the conflict in the country. well there and i'm already said that this voting process violated part of violated part of this peace agreement and remember that's already the 3rd peace agreement and again it's been a very fragile one since the 1st day because not only the governing party but also
6:35 pm
because of the rain now where they have a very strong internal conflict part of their fraction does not accept the peace agreement this is still ongoing so the situation is still tense and not resolved. correspondent thank you for your time. the democratic republic of congo is grappling with the 2nd largest demick on record more than 2000 lives lost since the outbreak was fast declared last year and how this month the world health organization declared that the you pull out freak out slowed but should still be classified as a global of agency. and we resisted that love to see if you like a large they look really. cool telling them about a 50 year old man who's vomiting and has a fever possible signs of an infection. well a driver has sent out a response team travel to the village to speak to the community. mark on this dr
6:36 pm
b. tells them about the risks and tries to find out who the newly infected man had been in contact with. but dr moon b. and her team often meet with resistance in rural communities in the congo where he still rife many are suspicious of western medicine and refuse to come to treatment centers even if they think they might have been infected. and. health workers have been threatened one locally bola treatment center was recently burned down. you have to feel lucky to contain a disease like you both everybody who has been in contact with a newly infected person should be vaccinated and monitored. while there is no license treatment for the deadly infection yet a newly developed vaccine is already being used here under emergency guidelines. in a so-called ring vaccination people who may have been in contact with a newly infected person and who dr based team have traced or offered the vaccine to
6:37 pm
protect them. and attitudes in the community are slowly changing. i'm happiest when we see a patient cured and living a life because a community believes that when we come it's a sign of death it's complicated but when they survive we stand tall or we accompany them sometimes with drums effect on. and with every survivor who leaves the treatment center to the sound of clapping and drum beats the message goes out take precautions and get treatment to help contain the spread of this deadly disease. with me in this to do is join howard taylor vice president of liberia for the world health science. but i'm howard tate many thanks for your time now we just saw a report of how d.l.c. struggling to tackle the ball of liberia has been successful in dealing with the
6:38 pm
disease how are you working together with affected countries to tackle this epidemic as a result of the. epidemic in liberia civilians reporting system was put in place is a regional one across west africa there is a whole team of medical personnel that have been trained to deal with it. i'm not sure if we've gotten any requests from the d r c but i think the information that was provided during our process is not free to members of the african union know how we tackle the bowler and how we're able to defeat it amongst the 3 countries that were heavily affected so there is an issue of early detection so villains getting them to the clinics that are necessary and dealing with the disease so it doesn't spread beyond where it is congress and containment is critical now you're calling for world leaders and politicians to prioritize implementation of universal health coverage but many own country
6:39 pm
complain about the lack of how the government's lack of drugs by 100 mortality so how serious is your government about health coverage and i think all of us as national governments that have signed on to the sustainable development goals project we says leave no one behind must continue to work towards this if you look across the african spectrum and maybe across west africa i don't think you'll find any country that has universal health coverage what we're doing at this point is looking at all of the options that are available so we can begin initially with children under 5 and pregnant women i think that proposal is being worked on by the ministry of health and we're hoping we can get it online as soon as possible taking into consideration all of the other issues that we have but universal health coverage is not just. provided an option for someone to go into a facility you say is making sure that those facilities are up to par that the laboratories are actually working so that when you do your testing people will know
6:40 pm
that you have a particular disease and not the other one so we're working on those issues we have a few health facilities are being upgraded we're building some new ones the president has initiated a process where we're looking at a hospital for the military particularly for those in the secret service and security and military installations so that they too have access so we're doing the best we can is a very costly thing as you know but we just have to start one installation at a time there is a challenge just for liberians to understand this because there's been a recent protest for health officials way involved in a complaining about the state of health facilities and all. your government came to power promising to fight poverty and of course corruption but many liberians see they don't see any improvements since the 1st time we came into power what do you say i say that governance and growth and development is
6:41 pm
a process not an event and our government is trying we've put in place a poor point in the framework for health and education and infrastructure development the president's 1st agenda item is infrastructure development during the rainy seasons which last 6 to 9 months half of the country is cut off you can't get medicines you can't get any kind of equipment there and so he taught the 1st thing to do was to ensure that the rule is there being done is it a case of targets here because many are complaining it is not their lives and it is still poverty and nothing has changed is the 1st step to take the 1st step is that people are separated in the shouldn't be people should be able to get through the rest of the country to provide the services where those services are available in my room some of the urban areas again we're building but the. areas in the south is that has no access and i think if we talk about leaving no one behind wasn't sure
6:42 pm
that everybody has access he's also working on an agricultural part of it which i think is our greatest strength because we do have the last 3 in 4 is in a guinea. quadrant of our of our region ok and we're trying our best to put in place implements 1st for security and allowing the young people to work and help us use what we have in our hands to make our country secure in terms of food security ok then the other things will fall into place we will and that's where we see this should be more time for discusses what i'm joel howard taylor vice president of liberia thanks for your time it's been a privilege thank you for putting an eye on what we're doing in liberia will continue to do our best to. stop them but i'll get up and use africa we leave you with images of south africa rugby fans as the springboks qualified for the rugby world cup finals i set out.
