1:05 am
with a diplomatic solution and the nations of the world are trying to get together now to get both sides to consider that what they've done already is enough for this round and tragically they're talking about this round not about peace. arguably the u.s. is the only one with leverage they do you see it that why and if so is it doing enough with that leverage well i've spoken to a number of israelis who don't think so they believe that the united states should be the honest broker should be considered the honest broker not withstanding any issues that rose in the previous administration they feel the u.s. has been a little slow on the uptake in that they could do more however having said that the administration wants to take a more global approach it's important for many in the american government to see that the allies in europe in particular play along with everybody else and become
1:06 am
important to the ultimate outcome of what's going to happen and perhaps that can be more of peace and less of a time out from the battle. from where we are now it seems difficult but can you imagine a peace process. yeah it is hard to imagine but you know the several countries that made peace were normalization with israel did so at great risk to themselves in their own neighborhoods and certainly surprised many by the fact that they have done it and we're not hearing any negativity or not really much negativity from them now in the 1st test under fire so if we can stretch that point maybe we have something we can see as a glimmer of hope for the future michael friedman of the maybe alon thank you very much pleasure to be with you and there's

1:35 am
picked on those who are not. so far from here next if yes or yes if you are so far from this illness you understand it's better to protect it . this hospital received 1500 doses from astra zeneca as you know from their reluctance to get vaccinated also extends the happy to stuff . office 40 how walkers fewer than 10 of them have been vaccinated. so this morning they're making another drive to encourage people to take up the offer their student nurse under hospital security guard are the only people to accept. i believe. the story when it's all. about believe it is true because. of the market. at a time when doses are becoming available vast instancing cameron seems to be
1:36 am
increasing misinformation is not helping and all the while the corona virus continues to spread. now in kenya the vaccine drive is picking up pace the latest figures from the country's health ministry show 1000000000 people have received a shot off the astra zeneca. but like many other countries on the continent pandemic has cost so many people their jobs and as you'll see on a triple from nairobi it's also aggravating other problems. with worry for her she can't afford to buy her medicine. due to call. me i think. i think the government should stop going out. if they were closing up and getting people who would that would be good. with. poor people. the
1:37 am
people who don't have the most cruel never i was. like parents and her mother who live in one of her movies in homosassa when the pentagon don't do any work and income they're hardly able to think of any money. i cry for mental in that they're going to cancer and they don't form. the pandemic started they went to america hungry so many times and i've seen that curfew was imposed by the police who were working at a market extrajudicial killings or disappearances by the police department regularly it has become worse because of covert 19 and. i'm like do seem to be. the other day i was out getting my medicine on the wrong time we were running away and the police threatened to beat me you don't dare to beat me arrest me you granma go home your. cases like this make her angry according to local

167 people were alerted to disappear by the police. on political gatherings. mr justice groups take to the streets they protest against the impact of the covert 99 years on police brutality. we want better homes we want better education we want clean water we want better housing. suddenly we have to interrupt the interview because the police firing tear gas comes to targeting us. people yet say that because it measures like killing them because they are not able to be good on the table they're not able to go to the hospital and also write rape and crime has gone up they say the police was very intolerant towards this protest because of the covert was just fired tear gas and they're actually getting you know my leg. tellings of the reporting from here one thing like
1:39 am
a mentor and people feel like they're being talked to and one boy doesn't know how to afford a new and he or she suffers from a smart attention and arthritis she however more worried about atlanta. because i needed one lead to even though i was just about to borrow 110 things so we could learn. you know i think you know when i speak about these things occurring the whole room took on the former is boy was supposed to go back to school. i needed to borrow a senator or a paper and pens and i can only try to go that the boy can go to school and then he did. i do who did and. as well. normal a 1000000 from can. write scripts. and you say. at the beginning of the month saying it violates international human rights supporters came to. male sexual violence
1:40 am
against women and children but it also criminalizes prostitutes and consensual same sex relations it will only become law when president 70 science which i'll be talking to one of the author of the bill off to. you know foods for dr frank morgan. the ugandan gay rights activist. by uganda parliament and you'll be you his face about rediscovering gay people and proposing a 10 year deal with sentence for him is going to increase homophobic attacks. were. told to want sex workers criminalized. but activists say that might force sex
1:41 am
workers from receiving a table support. from the police even when they need justice or when they are voluntary really needed your story to get back to where you know where you go that repeal this law. i'm reporting walking through back police or. maybe i make we use lie and you have used me or you rip to me and this is what happy and nobody is actually going to because you're losing as a human being in 2014 the government courts nullified a controversial law which had the maximum sentence of life in prison for being gay in uganda while the new bill so this illicit punishment be held to be too few i mean thing that we all seem to no one would think of and they should be left to love each other who really. lives.
1:42 am
for. a lot of the spirit in ugandan. the law you're going to parliament things that it mirrors the society we are most people hold to the view that being gay is immoral but rights defenders and that to them the minority must have their rights protected. in speaking to one of the main sponsors of the bill ugandan m.p. money i began by asking why your candidate needs a section of. the sexual offenses bill is a work that we have been pushing for 15 year. mainly because we have got in our legislation we have a lot of a kiss' of sexual violence in our country if you look at our reports the police reports they highest number of cases reported related to sexual violence in uganda
1:43 am
and they've been going up it's been going up on incrementally over the as so because of that we thought that we needed to find it stronger legislation which will lead to a fixture of prevention of sex or violence but also enhanced by nish meant and also causally did various laws that we have you know i love books to make $11.00 well one lobe which can do is a for reference and certainly lead to to enhance mental prevention of sexual violence in the country honorable imo doing the bill criminalizes same sex relationships and gay people in uganda say they feel targeted by it what is your message to them well i want to say that. uganda will change slowly the values haven't changed. but i believe that values change society changes laws change laws are not custom store
1:44 am
not none done they do change they only a constant thing is change and therefore i want to just encourage people who find themselves as minority communities that this this is work in progress in the last a bill that was brought before the house almost no that was brought into the house it had life imprisonment in the wisdom of parliament they rain started this provision although we had lifted it from another low ball we called it been a cord act in uganda into this sick show fences bill because we're trying to consolidate several roses on this issue so when we live to do it in the weasel parliament parliament decided to do inside that particular clause on same sex issues and it's brought a lot of tension in those communities about who want to set things changed and i believe that we do tie me to change the punishment has been brought to tenure and
1:45 am
there is hope in this. yeah you know and i did it well an honorable imo again you as you rightly point out but but what is the justification for putting gay people in prison with with thieves murderers rapists people who do real harm and pose a real threat to society even if it's 10 years and not life imprisonment what is the justification. what like i say lol part of society today they have much from the values of a certain community so they are gone and society that we have as a hell of value related to same sex marriages as prohibited i knew saying great in our constitution in the bill of rights in uganda same sex marriages are prohibited and therefore it is still part of our values are so set to that has not quite accommodated those rights and feels that every day that i'm in is there i certainly
1:46 am
appreciate that it is it is and you know but again i ask the question what she suggested vacation from a moral perspective to to put gay people in prison with with like i was saying rapists murderers people who do real harm to society all gay people are threats to ugandan society maybe as they move was a human rights defender really i understand the whole i understand the need and i stand to challenge that we how however when you present a bill to parliament it ceases to be an individual below what i meant i had withdraw you know increase anything and therefore certain things are beyond me as that move on and therefore we collectively own it has a problem and has uganda and so that is what we have but i want to encourage the minority community is that this things gradually change previously issues on human rights on hiv and aids were not understood as rights but now in the current times they are appreciated as rights and so rights of sexual minorities rights so well
1:47 am
