10:34 pm
rigging and violence it's not only their enamel complaining about these things but also several election observers reported irregularities the european union observer mission for example complained about and i'm just if i had 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 and there are now more strongholds 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 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 to the anomaly the main opposition what could this mean for the parties sign in august and a conflict in the country. well there and i'm already said that this voting process violated violated part of this peace agreement and remember that's already the 3rd peace agreement and again it's been
10:35 pm
a very fragile one since the 1st day because not only the governing party but also because of the renowned well 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 the record more than 2000 lives have been 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. we recently they 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
10:36 pm
a driver sent out a response team travelled through the village to speak to the community. in the muck on this dr 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 people are 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 polar treatment center was recently burned down. you have to go back to contain a disease like you both everybody who has been in contact with a newly infected person should be vaccinated and monitored in the lab while there is no license treatment for the deadly infection yet a newly developed vaccine is already being used here under emergency guidelines in
10:37 pm
a so-called ring vaccination people who may have been in contact with a newly infected person and who dr based team have traced are offered the vaccine to protect them. and attitudes in the community are slowly changing. gone 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 we accompany them sometimes with germs they don't ball well. 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 the studio is joy howard taylor vice president of liberia and then for the world health science. but i'm howard taylor many thanks for your time now we just saw a report of how d.l.c.
10:38 pm
is struggling to talk a little of liberia has been successful in dealing with the disease how are you working together with affected countries to tackle just a bit of it 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 processes are free to members of the african union on how we tackle the bowler and how we're able to defeat it amongst the 3 countries that were heavily affected so there's an issue of early detection so villain's getting them to the clinics that are necessary and dealing with the disease say doesn't spread beyond where it is in containment it's
10:39 pm
critical exactly now you're calling for world leaders and politicians to prioritise implementation of universal health coverage but many own country complain about the lack of health 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. has provided an option for someone to go into
10:40 pm
a facility like you say is making sure that those facilities up to par that the laboratories are actually working so that when you do your testing people will know 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 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 solution at a time because i tell him just for liberians to understand this because there's been a recent protest by health officials late involved you know complaining about the state of health facilities and all. your governments came to power promising to fight poverty and of course corruption but many liberian see they don't see any
10:41 pm
improvements since 1st and we came into power what do you say i say that governance and growth and development is a process not an event and our government is trying we've put in place of 4 points in the framework for health and education and infrastructure development the president's 1st agenda item is infrastructure development to intervene in seasons which lasts 6 to 9 months half of the country is cut off you can't get medicines you can't get any kind of the equipment there and so he taught the 1st thing to do with the ensure that the rule is there been done is it a case of targets here because many are complaining it is not a case of history what's in 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 to 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 there are areas in the south is that has no access and i think if we
10:42 pm
talk about leaving no one behind wasn't sure 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 and 4 is in a guinea guinea liberian quadrant of our of our region ok and we're trying our best to put in place the mess force 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 these discussions madame's will howard taylor vice president of liberia thanks for your time it's been a previous thank you for putting an eye on what we're doing in liberia will continue to do our best to. down the canal get up into separate i will leave you with the images of south africa rugby fans and the springboks qualifying for the rugby world cup final i set out.
