prison and i'm not able to leave. mohamed is one of more than 200000 refugees here in the fields unwanted in kenya the government has been threatening for years to close the camp heightening his feelings of uncertainty he also feels neglected by the international community which has shifted its attention to other humanitarian crises elsewhere. dad was never meant to be a long term solution yet for most people life as a refugee here in the camps is all they know there's drawn out encampment that is here 18 level of humanitarian assistance and the only distant prospect of resettlement has collectively taken a severe mental health. toll on thousands of residents. sound cell phone t.f. one of the n.g.o.s operating here says the protracted crisis in the camp has caused

a growing number of refugees to develop mental health conditions. depression is one of the in this as we treat. becoming increased amongst the depression is serious because most of the time you get refuges attempting suicide it's actually due to depression. mohammed says he suffers from anxiety and insomnia and he's not alone he says many of his former school friends have given up hope some of them drifted into drug addiction yet the obvious have been committed suicide a good thing they did with. my friends have hung themselves because of what they are going through it's happened several times in this camp sometimes i think about killing myself because of the hardship i'm going through but then i think of my children they always say for me. mohammed says he's not ready to give

up just yet he wants to fight on for his children so that they can have a better future so they can get an education and enjoy the freedoms he never had for himself his wish is to leave the camp before he dies so that he doesn't have to be buried next to his father as a refugee. review now some of the other stories making news today the u.s. plane maker boeing is suspending production of at $737.00 max beginning next month regulators grounded the aircraft after 2 fatal crashes boeing had continued making the plane some 400 have been put in storage nearly 350 people were killed in crashes and in the new york bureau. supporters of lebanon's 2 main shia groups have rioted and clashed with police in beirut the opposition was. the violence rather was triggered by an online video that showed a man insulting shia leaders intentions come as lebanon's president put back talks

and eastern europe good day to you roman 1st off how is the government in men's responded to this account. well there has been no official response from the government of belarus at least know that i know of the only response that we heard yesterday was a statement from the investigation committee in belarus which is a central investigation body saying that they know of the knew of information and they're checking it so there is probably more to come today it's interesting that the major suspect so the man the office the former officer of the police. said that it is all wrong it is all false so he denied the accusations that he actually pulled the trigger and killed those 3 people ok what about any other witnesses is anyone else step forward or has there been any other independent confirmation of what we've been hearing from your. well we have seen at least 3

reports confirm an indirect lee the reports of that man. at least in one case there was a person who conducted its own investigation some 20 years ago so when it was all fresh and he said that he was contacted by one of form our soldier of that of that squad and who basically told him the same story and he and that soldier also pointed out to where the car of the 2 kidnapped men was buried under the yours and he was able to find that car with some kind of a metal detector so i devised for minesweeping but he was not able to dig in and find the car actually but he's sure that this is this story and the story it's a true story ok so there's some potential additional evidence out there what about the public in belarus that they have any idea about these allegations about the

story. well of course it's a very big story in belarus and. of course you read most. reaction straight on the internet so there is practically no information on state media. and but on the online and other countries as well especially in russia and ukraine it's a very big story and people are reading about it discussing it remembering it because it was a very very huge story in belarus 20 years ago several people disappeared so in not just one person it was actually more than 3 persons who were killed at that time presumably killed and it was some kind of a turning point in the development of this country roman have there been any calls for an investigation in belarus for police to get on top of this and look into what happened well we have contacted several people. also people on

the international stage but they all said they need some time to watch the film to read the interview and they promised that they will come back and they will. share with us their opinion on this case so far i have seen no official reaction from any international body but i'm sure there is more to come roman thank you very much for looking into into this for us today roman gun franco for us. and for much more of the story you can check out the dot com or go to our you tube channel documentary. this is still to come on the show it might be small but it has a stellar mission europe schiavo satellite sets out to seek life beyond our solar system. but 1st the roof european parliament is set to look into the rule of law and malta today will consider possible sanctions against that country on monday brussels urged the maltese government to end

political interference in the investigation of the murder of journalist. and influential businessman has been charged in connection with that killing and there are growing accusations of a government cover on. the island nation of motor a popular mediterranean holiday destination with an underbelly of corruption money laundering and now shaken by conspiracy to assassinate a journalist that dates all the way to the prime minister's office to prime minister lost control he used to this day the only one who doesn't and older there was court option in his government the only one who continues to say you know this is all some innocent mistake more than 2 years after investigative journalist definitely cairo on the elites it was killed one of maltese richest men and an oligarchy oaken fenech was arrested on suspicion of arranging the car bombing and it came as the prime minister's right hand man key schembri was behind the plot schembri was released without charge for many

a sign of the corruption on the island we're here because even though there is rock solid evidence the prime minister stoff is probably the biggest criminals out this country has of a scene the police have just let him go since then the capital valetta has been rocked by protests activists have brandished signs bearing the face of the murdered journalist screaming mafia at prime minister joseph scots he says he'll resign in january but for many that isn't soon enough. it's not about politics is it about the red or blue this is just about justice i did yes i was doing had you all. citizens of the e.u. little make use of cool to most got to step down immediately to the much investigation can proceed. things there we apologize for the technical difficulties we're having right now let's try

to bring in our brussels correspondent barbara basal who's of following the story for us barbara can you hear us yes i hear you good morning ok we're having some of video problems but bull continue with the interview with you the european parliament today will be taking up the situation in malta you know what are we likely to see could there be sanctions placed on one of its own members yet the european parliament is really losing patience with this process we have to remember and we've just seen it again i mean this isn't 2017 that this happened so this is more than 2 years ago and to the investigation has just dragging itself on because it was and that's what lawmakers in the european union now feel it was blocked from the highest political places in malta itself so parliamentarians are going to call for an independent investigation they're going to call for immediate

changes. to the political structure in malta not to push this off and they're also going to call for the montes of prime minister to step down now not to drag this process out to do something some time in general but to step down now because they fear that the government is just using the time to cover its traces and that in the end it cannot really be proven what happened there does it you government you parliament rather have the power to interject itself into the government in malta like that i'm interested to know if it has the capacity the authority to do that. the european commission can do that so the parliament needs to call to the commission and already the commissioner for justice has written a letter to the prime minister in malta and says this needs to change you do need to change the legal structure it's not possible there's basically no rule of law in malta it's not possible that the prime minister's sort of nominates the chief of

police that she's chief off the judiciary the chief of all the sort of judicial of bodies that are supposed to be independent and so new law needs to be sort of formulated immediately and put up to the european commission we know all these procedures take time but there is supposedly going to be a lawsuit against malta if they don't change their ways immediately because the european union has been looking at this for over 2 years now there is endemic corruption right rule of law is severely compromised changes are called for you've been following the story for those 2 years barbara you've been to mold is this what it's going to take to get the political culture of the political crisis there to end the. interplay of the you. obviously they really have to be some more severe measures measures because all the talking to all the letters

all the all the words haven't helped they haven't changed anything and corruption is so far spread in the country it is so endemic it is so you know just permeating everything in multan politics completely you know there is illegal gambling there is money laundering the european central bank has started another procedure against another bank a mall to i mean this is just everywhere where you look and that needs to change because the european union cannot continue to look upon countries that are member countries they don't respect the rule of law at all if a country turns into a haven for criminals from everywhere with him and without the e.u. then is really time to make some changes and that's what the murder of the journalist has really thrown into the spotlight and we will know more today where this is headed barbara bizzle thanks very much. well the countdown is on

for the launch of a european satellite that will study planets outside our solar system a suitable os off shortly from the european space port in french guiana that's in south america while the key up satellite will be gathering plenty of data and will be looking for signs of life. the key on this mission is designed to advance the search for extraterrestrial life for the 1st time the satellite will study planets orbiting distant suns so-called exoplanets. chips will observe how these distant worlds pass in front of the stars they orbit to make this possible researchers 1st have to scour the sky with other telescopes to select the stars to be targeted by the satellite. looking at the one star had to time. so we need to know that staal has

a planet we need to know when this planet passes in front of the stall and at that moment we point cope's there. the satellite is set to measure the tiny fluctuations in brightness that occur when a planet passes in front of its star a celestial body the size of our earth dims the light by just 100th of a percent. can measure this barely perceptible flickering more accurately than ever before. from the decrease of light you can infer how big the planet is compared to the stuff because it just hides a part of the surface and you can compute which fraction of the surface is being hidden by the passing planet and that gives you the size of the bat. all this without going there or this without seeing the pilot to just see the shuttle. with his telescope astronomers can determine another property of the invisible planets

their mass they then want to combine this information with the data they obtain from cheops and thus determine the density of distant worlds this shows them whether they are planets made of rock or gas. whether the distant worlds have an ocean or consist of ice the all the satellites should also find out whether they have an atmosphere this allows conclusions to be drawn as to how habitable these worlds are. super telescopes such as the extremely large telescope will then take a closer look at the earth like exoplanets in the coming decade they will look for traces of life in their atmospheres and find out for example whether there are microbes and plants there. we have some sports for you know the draw for the opening knockout round of the

champions league is taking place things will be getting very serious for the but mostly go clubs in that competition by him have been drawn with london club chelsea while dortmund will face parasol germaine leipzig squares off against last year's finalists thought not. buying munich's to mulch us season isn't going to get any easier in february the german giants have been drawn against reigning europa league winners chelsea in the champions league round of 16 it will be a rematch of the 2012 final which biron lost on penalties to the london club after a slow start but have turned the corner in the fullness week and their strong form has given them a boost of confidence for the clash. visit of steps where fairly confident. feel good about the draw of course chelsea have players that can hurt us. dortmund have their eyes on an equally difficult task facing down french powerhouse
