least 18 people killed. burying the dead after a weekend of violence where security forces fired live rounds at demonstrators in cities across ne and maher this muslim woman was shot in the head while crossing the street the 3 fingered salute of the protest movement draped over her coffin of the. protesters were back on the streets on monday undeterred by the crackdown by security forces used tear gas on mass hearing young gone under the city's rubber bullets were also in use. while. the macarthur rocket you would not find here is a frontline air because i don't want my son to grow up in this evil era and i'm here for our heroes who died yesterday in the protests. they're calling for their

of law must be respected speak to you but me and mas army chief who protesters have branded a murderer instead found to punish the protest leaders. here hundreds of thousands have faced off against the army over the past month. now as the military steps up its response there are fears that more may end up paying the ultimate price in their struggle for freedom. one main obstacles to tangible sanctions against me and maher is to overcome the on the willingness of countries like china and russia to join those measures earlier we spoke to tom andrews un special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in may and mar and i asked him how that could be overcome. well it's a very very good question and we go just traditional a shot has been there to protect the generals from the security council they

provided with weapons they provided was traded and that's what it is an obstacle but listen the chinese have a self interest in this they don't want to see a conflagration right over there where we've seen them now beginning to make statements that have been encouraging condemning the coup calling for the release of all political prisoners so there's steps forward i see in the position of china i'm hoping that they are privately communicating with the generals and they'll have it and then possibly will be able to see them you know if not. threaten a veto at least step back and allow the security council to meet and deliberate and perhaps. take some essay actions actions with them of state i'm not sure i don't know it's obviously something that we have to overcome but it's worth a try even if it fails it's worth a try and if it does fail we can work on coordinated policy from various countries that are willing to take action that was un special rapporteur on drew's speaking

to us on. the biden administration is defending its position not to go after saudi arabia's crown prince for the death of u.s. based journalist jamal khashoggi white house press secretary jens psaki spoke off the need to recalibrate the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia saying it remained a strategic ally. $2800.00 killing was likely approved by prince mohamed bin solomonic cording to the newly declassified report bot biden is stopping short of punishing the saudi royal for issuing the capture or kill or die. d.w. reporter stacy bivins is here with me to talk us through this stacy biden slowcoach against muhammad been some on when he was running for the white house he called the prince a pariah now he appears to be handling him with kid gloves why the muted response well you're right biden talked a very tough game before being elected but what we're seeing is

a difference between running for office and actually holding and so the u.s. and saudi arabia have a nearly 80 year relationship and it's based on oil and defense so biden is trying to balance that with his administrative goal of holding of having a high human rights agenda king solomon is sickly he's 85 years old so it's just a matter of time before m.b.a.'s takes over biden knows this and his administration wants to focus more on the future and how the saudi leadership will behave in the future and not so much on the past and obviously this is upset a lot of people when we're talking about critics we're talking about congress people on the left and the right we're talking about human rights watchers activist journalist and of course the friends and family of. his fiance took to twitter and responded. her name is has his showing and she says it is and central time

to show the world that enduring american values matter more than commercial and diplomatic short term opportunities so she and others are pushing for the biden ministration to directly punish m.b.'s or at so what is the biden ministration actually doing to punish the saudis and to prevent a future star killing right where his critics are saying that's not enough but the 1st thing is the naming and shaming by releasing this report in the 1st place that points the finger directly at m.p.'s biden has frozen. some of american arms sales to saudi arabia. and bahrain has declined to engage directly with n.p.r. so when he finally had a call with saudi arabian leadership he spoke with came samana not with the prince and they've also imposed sanctions on about 70 people one of them was a former agent intelligence agent and the others are members of this code for

military force that the prince has put together and basically what they do is there are 3 quick hit it squad that goes within the country and out to collect dissidents and punish them for what the prince finds to be offensive so those are the major things but the u.n. also has chimed in and said it's not enough and that they find the lack of tough punishment extremely dangerous this so a very interesting story that we will continue to follow of course stacy bivins thank you very much always a pleasure for now to some other stories making news around the world u.n. secretary general antonio good tariff says he's disappointed that only $1700000000.00 have been pledged at a donor conference for yemen he'd hoped to raise more than twice that amount to help people facing starvation 6 years of war in yemen has created the world's worst

most decorated olympian of all time michael phelps and it's all because of the training disruptions caused by the crown of our misspent demick he says the best of the best will fight back and you're going to see some pasts but were track cuts i don't think so. i wouldn't dare make a claim i think there there is there has been a lot of fast swimming still during this time and as we've gotten closer and closer and i think you'll see at least a couple i have seen a lot of us forming as i said over the last couple weeks even just in college swimming but the olympic champion does admit the training wasn't always optimal last year i swam in the backyard pool in the bay area for a couple months and did all my weights training in my apartment i just pulled together as much equipment as i could. but since last june back to her normal training she's even had time to squeeze in a tick tock challenge like balancing a glass of milk without spilling

tough since 2006 the radical islamist al-shabaab militia has been expanding its grip on power in somalia their fighters occupy almost 2 thirds of the country on the horn of africa. tax in the capital mogadishu have doubled. and thousands of somalians have been killed. every day the somali police do all they can to protect mogadishu from terrorist attacks. the bookie says now much of the police will find out more and the entire geisha. mogadishu's central prison is packed 50 to

a cell allegedly all of them terrorists are. the most a monitor as you should not get too close to the mechanism of. thought oh i'll go back in your cells come back. in 2018 abdirahman omar osman was made mayor. of mogadishu he died in a terror attack just weeks after filming british composer titian's our main target of attacks for mogadishu's residents too it's a daily struggle in the city of chaos ravaged by 30 years of civil conflict. after we arrive in somalia we enlist a british security detail to accompany our camera team one of them is this xo molly in special forces soldier. in the us look. we're.

exploring. it's. different if. we are escorted by 8 security officers during several weeks of filming. but this peaceful atmosphere is deceptive. mogadishu experiences bomb attacks on a daily basis we've barely set off before were stopped at the 1st checkpoint. and it's just. something that has something happened yes an explosion. a bomb has just gone off in the immediate vicinity leaving behind in a column of smoke. the city is sealed off straight away but we're still able to reach our fortress of a hotel. it's protected by a bomb walls on either side and armed guards search every vehicle on entry.

this hotel hasn't welcomed any tourists in decades. most of the guests are regional somali and officials who have fled their homes and sought refuge here with their families. even the chief of police lives here. on the other side of the hotel the security firm has installed cameras everywhere. british. the entire perimeter of the hotel can be monitored from these screens and they can also keep tabs on the firm's armored vehicles thanks to g.p.s. try. when official information is lacking on an attack they resort to social media for the latest news right here we have to tell you to come for the latest news not to not. look you

see you would please commission so much news for us so it doesn't appear to you you went to a new strategic point to limit to fortune it's one of the meets our we are from last year. we get hold of this footage the same night. and more than 30 people injured. somalia has been in the grip of chaos since 1991. shaken by civil war piracy. his law missed terrorism and famine. more than half a 1000000 people have died as a result during those 3 decades. you can't miss the traces of war in mogadishu the old city has been almost totally destroyed. public institutions hardly function

and the economy is on the brink of collapse. most of mogadishu's 2 and a half 1000000 residents live hand to mouth. they work in small shops or farm their livestock here between the rundown buildings. an average wage is just $2.00 a day. barely enough to buy the essentials. that. more than 2 thirds of the population are under $25.00. most of somalia's young people survive on the. small jobs. like mohammed. the 22 year old makes a meager living with his talk to. one of the thousands of tiny taxis on mogadishu's road.

anyone can become a took took driver. i didn't go to school and i regret it because it would have helped me get a better job. with no other public transport available mohammad can work up to 20 hours a day. his customers pay him via text message. that if you say yes the system is called e.v.c. that's how people pay me i never take cash. and i don't have a bank account but this way my income is safe. but his income isn't enough to finance a driving license so with every road check mohamed is at the mercy of corrupt police officers. i usually get blackmailed at checkpoints as soon as they ask for my papers i have to pay $5.00 to avoid arrest by then i'll do the same again

a few kilometers later. lives in the city center he shares this house with his mother and 5 teenage brothers and sisters everything he earns goes to feeding his family. he will be a little equal to keep my father died in 2011 we were eating breakfast together then we heard gunshots. he went out to see what was happening and they tell us all what. he when i left somalia i went via kenya 1st i can't be prisoners there i didn't have anyone to pay my ransom they kept me there for 7. days i eventually made it to south sudan. i got on a boss and there was an ambush in the telecom shorts and then i found. that you broke my arm my hand isn't straight and. i look

i took a bullet in my back. i think the bullet is still inside. you can feel it. despite everything they endured they would still suffer the hellish journey all over again to get out of somalia who still wants to go to europe. no harm its journey was cut short in sudan held captive in an oil tank for several days by bandits he managed to get word back to his clan leaders. he introduced them to us in somalia they're called sultans. so i reckon we found out about his situation he was very sick and had water in his lungs we sent money over so he could go to hospital and be sent home. so

for you ok with him trying to leave somalia and going to europe not at all when no to young people lose their lives by wanting to go to europe they'll only find misery there but you understand that they're afraid to live here hard come here sometime what's important is what we want not what they want it's a 1000 times better to live in your own country with your family and work here rather than suffer elsewhere. to convince him to stay the sultan's let mohamed $3000.00 to buy is tucked up he will pay them back when he can. wear the state has failed a more traditional hierarchy has filled the vacuum. that's why clans now play such an important role in somalia there are around 2000 clan chiefs like sheikh gar winning his red beard is a sign of his standing. he was elected 550000 members to sultan of the robust saudi clan in north mogadishu.

his status means he is both judge and jury and in some cases he has the power of life and death over his subjects'. this is the law the law lot of the sultan it is not something that you choose it comes from god i have no formal training but if you know the religion by heart you can solve a lot of problems but still as i doubt i will get it. sultans don't receive a wage so to earn a living she garwin a teaches at a karate school. it earns him the equivalent of $180.00 euros a month. in somalia you have to pay to go to a normal state school leaving the poorest somalians to learn to read at religious schools which are free they learn extracts of the qur'an by heart painted on these

wooden boards it's the only book they study. there's no time off for the sultan. class has barely finished before he has to go and deal with an urgent matter one of his clan members is in jail accused of murder. i need to sort this out we need to see how we're going to deal with the victim's family. the accused is i'm deborah zuck he's a police officer he's been charged with killing a civilian at a checkpoint somali authorities have been increasingly harsh on officers accused of abuses like this where you know. actors are accused of good i. sentences you to death by shooting those who oppose the verdict you know. what we like or of. course she garwin they there's no way he'll let one of his clan die. he calls the meaning of the region's clan leaders at

a hotel in the city. i don't think it's not a good look this is all markers 3 options in this sort of case if we kill another person either the victim's family forgives us before we pay them compensation of this is what we've decided we should indeed live she's got her. love well now tradition dictates. it's that we should pay the equivalent of $100.00 camels to the victim's family. that will wipe the deck clean. $100.00 camels are worth around $50000.00. the sum is raised through donations from other clan members with everyone giving what they can and sums ranging from $5.00 to $200.00 i do not know kate everyone listens to me but i'm good aman you should

pay $20.00. or do you people ever refuse to pay do you keep will refuse to pay they're punished we give the orders here or. a functioning clan system rules out the need for state sanctioned justice several times. a month later since the civil war broke out clans prefer to work things out between ourselves so much it could let the love you know until it is a real national government we can't rely on the judiciary in this country is going to let you know. that you didn't do it but the defendant will only be released once the victim's family received the $50000.00 they've been promised and that could take months. to regain the somali people stressed and government a new generation of leaders are risking their lives and getting into politics.

this fortress is home to one of the most powerful men in the country the mayor of mogadishu. omar osman. he invited us to spend the day in his company. is so motherly that edition of read for us live. journal what it's called is similar to thank you but you know how much less intimate souls learn to very delicious. what are your tasks as the mayor of mogadishu. but if i. am what if i was. right would it the case that he is just couldn't in the city where. we have. improved and as a moment one just. he travels everywhere in an

armored car escorted by at least 10 police officers. i never. saw the like despite the risks and also months chose to leave a peaceful life in europe to return to somalia. right came back through. mutate. 11 years ago. the local government and so i left my job my family and 200 my people and that's why. i came back. from the u.k. how did you become mayor. and the press are. here and are there no elections in somalia another moment but rio walking toward is satan and the election so

near future. there's a special greeting by the chief of his personal guard when he arrives at the town hall. on it. was. the mayor of mogadishu is one of the country's most influential politicians he oversees 2600 civil servants. who used to be employees still haven't received their wages. with an annual budget of $33000000.00 the city barely has enough to pay its staff. however a lot of investment is needed to reestablish order in mogadishu it's an issue that takes up most of the mayor's time sometimes even through the night.

after dark his personal security has doubled. and he's a scored in home by a convoy of 20 police officers. but it's good leaders to have a good. good richie chiefs because they're terrorists have to do that talks to us metric welfare. then we have to be prepared alice said a source in a stress out of your tell people how we need to be absolutely sure that we're safe and you'll be sorry if i don't think it's right there indeed i'm going to go. along with this evening the mayor is eager to show he's not afraid to walk through the city at night. but it's a fraught situation for his security detail. i'm super expect all the corners some of them being the judge usually it's more losing to come from the corner so

we've. had some real. mental hospital can something happen any time or any time but i doubt it is a fiasco in the additional forces this is a show off that is a rare there they come face to. the evening draws to a close in a restaurant in the city center. the town is. one of them over 100 there for most here it's extremely rare to get this close to any of their representatives only there i never see the man on the government's very mild some of these are all men but now that i'm the president not looking on. the seats night. christie is that's all i heard this week that right now if we see a minor on the purpose of this not on the government who cannot own the lights this is something good for the peace. but the roman omar osman's attempts to bring peace

to mogadishu were cut short. this year. 3 weeks later on july 24th 2019 he was holding a reception for the u.n. special representative for somalia. a bomb went off killing 7 people. the u.n. envoy james swan escaped unhurt but mayor omar also man was seriously wounded he was flown to guitar for treatment but died a week later of his injuries. leading national figures were among those paying a final homage to him. this is the person behind the attack mario a visually impaired woman who had worked. closely with the mayor for more than 2 years. after the attack it came to light that she'd been an undercover agent for

the terror group al-shabaab and she'd worn an explosive vest and also died in the attack. after weeks of negotiation we managed to get in touch with a former member. we meet at a secret location in the center of town. as. a father of 2 says he was forced to join the jihad ists when they took over control of his region. al-shabaab members have infiltrated themselves into many parts of somali society. they're all over the city there's no way to recognize them. some have pistols all over mogadishu's metal yes all over mogadishu. and the judge who says there are spies collecting important information to you others obtain money through bribery and corruption. even ministers and

politicians have to pay. so they're stronger than the government i would look at of course someone who's ready to die is stronger than anyone else. in 2015 mario a left and became an informer for the government. police patrols on the city limits are aimed at preventing round the clock attacks by al shabaab militants. mohammad j. go head to the elite team. his officers were trained by the us army. a lot of money how much was our objective 2 days to patrol the entry and exit

points of the city they were also some checkpoints to inspect on the way. we're headed to the city's most dangerous places. the checkpoints on the edge of mogadishu. our driver is on alert during the entire journey. of video that we're shown as evidence of how often the police and army fall target to car bomb attacks. on. al shabaab territory begins around 15 kilometers south of mogadishu. the security officers at the

checkpoints here are particularly rigorous. in the money even though most santosh up close to pass through he come from run territory. most often we search everyone is there often al-shabaab members among them and you girl. how can one but if we find weapons or bombs they were arrested you're going to tell them well and this is the city's most important checkpoint stop what you want but 1st and we'll listen to what. mohammad j. go himself has often been the target of his longest attacks. the wreckage here is the remains of a recent truck bombing which killed dozens of people. but it's not a little further on there's an improvised bunker using cement blocks and sheet

metal. that's inside it and agent from the intelligence services armed with nothing more than a laptop of photos of potential suspects sent by informers across the country. did you know anyone who passes through here is logged in this files we record everything with me but we have the identities of the individuals and their license plate numbers you know where today the computer pays off. during a routine search at the checkpoint one of the police officers recognizes a young man with a body couldn't get there. from the river borne of a cradle chief who looks like someone in the finals yeah. it's rich you've got some high yield on my he's you know into the police we've got information on him here and we'll push through our inquiries like how they got bought

a single and we believe he's an member so we'll keep him here and check him out. oh i was particularly well just on a lot of time. shortly afterwards the young man is transferred to mogadishu's main prison. the 200 year old bill. right in the heart of the city is one of africa's oldest prisons. behind its walls are some of the most dangerous criminals and terrorists in the country. many of them al-shabaab members. where the 1st camera team allowed to film inside. the prison warden himself takes us on a tour. there are some 700 prisoners incarcerated here.

so do most amount or as you shouldn't get too close to them. want. children but some of them are clearly just children's although i think i can yourselves come back something that i measure the most and. how many people to a cell with work and i'm going to do another tween 30 and 50 depending on how many pets are in each south federal to do that he agrees to open a cell for us to get out of the area where everyone on t. o. pads started out at the. time and. we don't know what the time is that this smile or conceals a deadly threat is us that and. i think the top down the street wants to fight but eventually the guard opens up for us. the prison officer escorting us isn't carrying a gun if

a gun were to be stolen it could be used against them and their fellow officers no no. no no. no. no no you're. just not inferior to them it's over 40 degrees and the cells. like i'm not. going to lie. there's one bathroom for 30 inmates. most of the prisoners cooped up here are serving sentences of at least 15 years. they do. no running water and packed into overcrowded cells the united nations has condemned these conditions for years. they got it

the warden takes advantage of our visit to show us some of the rehabilitation programs in place. in this part of the prison inmates can volunteer to work in various workshops for example metal workers fix the prison beds. in the carpentry shop they build windows and fake wooden rifles which are brought out for military parades. like most of the people here are all shipped out there are also thieves and rapists we also have some who are just disrespectful to their parents as well as into. the prisoners are paid $2.00 a day which they receive the day of their release it's meant to be start up capital

for a new life. someone at least some of them i was in al-shabaab militia i've been here for 10 years i've got 3 live in the groups and i'm an expert in the exact stitching now and i'd like to do it as a career when i get out. the warden's proudest achievement is the orchestra. police and prisoners played together guided by a kenyan conductor. once a month. i. i. i i.

i. i. this former jihadi has been in prison for 5 years and is now learning to play the xylophone. look of who he was always my dream to become a musician so i took the celtic unity as soon as it was presented to me and i think just one. more of the c.b.i. in new goal is to change the prisoners mentality we want to change them as people so they can reintegrate into society choice and. these rehabilitation programs are funded by donations from all over the world somalia gets around $2000000000.00 a year in international aid. unfortunately almost half of that money ends up disappearing unaccounted for.

for security reasons the large international organizations are grouped together near mogadishu airport on the sea front. walls and razor wire surround the compounds. around 2000 international workers live in the work inside the sprawling united nations complex here. up until june 2020 just in brady spent 8 years coordinating the un's humanitarian aid for somalia. every single building is fortified to withstand heavy fire. tear fire coming in right now and we have no place else to go we would shelter in that for a few until we do an all clear sign and we can move. the compound has been attacked several times over the past few months the u.n.

invests a large part of its budget in protecting its employees. first security and access and that's why we have one of the highest cost of doing business in the world a normal vehicle cost much more than a soft good vehicle full of my snap protective vests and helmets whether they need them or not i have to supply them in our cost of doing business is much higher than any other place i've i've worked in like $30.00 or 40 percent i don't want to speculate but it's much higher. for the workers living in these privileged compounds earn at least $10000.00 a month a financial incentive for coming to work in one of the world's deadliest places people here travel in armored cars and fly in private jets creating high costs that eat into the aid money meant for the somali people. out in the field it's hard to

see where the aid goes. the wall barry maternity clinic for example is the option for thousands of women if they want to give birth in a medical environment without paying. it's financed by action against hunger a french n.g.o.s that's been in somalia since 1902. there are only 3 midwives for over $140.00 consultations and 20 deliveries a day. in this unsanitary space. and how i should manage to live for us we have sterile gloves protective glasses and the mask and the can. over crowded rooms mean the women are asked to leave just 24 hours after giving birth. is.

somalia's infant mortality rate is one of the highest in the world at 10 percent. the shortage of aid often affects the weakest members of society 1st. when people call the emergency services it's often already too late. them is a dentist by profession. when the civil war broke out over 30 years ago he founded the city's only ambulance service. there we have for 20 plus even though it's quite all it's all the luck you know. 99. answers around 20 call outs a day and each time is a matter of life or death. also we have an emergency in the north of

a city patient needs to get to the hospital and we'll know more when we can help. and they've been called out to a small clinic to treat a 4 year old girl. she's been here for a week but her condition is worsening. the local doctors are completely out of their depth and take. good simple the girl has to go to the city's only major hospital with a pediatric ward. her mother and uncle go with her. we don't know what's wrong with her because the don't just didn't tell us anything she should have been taken to the opera hospital way earlier about how family couldn't afford it and i hope she gets better.
