the e impact in tererms o of hel righght -- therere are several people who'e had -- severe eye injuries and hand injuries as well -- so very much the debate to discuss -- the whole question of flesh pulls the monocled l. b. d. -- for weapons now -- they pool launches and then not widely used with the french police have taken them on and the message is that the friends and it will not be approving -- any moves -- to band -- bulldoze bulldog is this this is a different kind of weapopon i n inverteded comommas c citizens national run fully see something has makes a lot more impact is not it is that this just to treat that from. someone saying that t last month ththey were trying --- to usese of t the lamb technoloy within the the thehe flash full weapon -- itt to make it lessss threateningng- i couldn't afford ththe life o e

i couldn't -- very scary in terms of the what we seenn w we seen that as the shock images of the shows that he's a being attacked but also - those people of individuals with this -- l. l. b. d. weapon because t that issue but they aimed at the head because of that that is something that's been spoken about the please such aiming at protest is. at aim for that hadn't seen by the injuries that you pointed out that that young woman suffered. a loss of the online because the genesis of the the cheek those bust open the see more people losing sort of part of that your those kind of things and it is a perfect situation -- you know maybe it is time for some kind of major inquiry sorry i'm talking too much you got. well into the rash we had -- official reaction from -- kristoff custom now he is the interior m minister of course ad what ce e up when n michelle bachelet a at thehe u. n. human rights chief in geneneva said tt well frarance s should bebe o os list it joinsns t lisist witith haiti whether of being forty one deaths. and with venezuela kristoff customary not treat thank a we

on this post on the list is this acceptable. with -- haiti and then as well as well nicolas mahut does not want to give humanitarian aid to his people is that reasonable -- another an activist hit on to make a an an official investigation images like the images are shocking -- there are lots of them you can get them on twitter and the impact of course. and people into in people's own lives that's going to be a life long a lifelonong handidicap basically of course it's among people fronts across the country where human rights as a concept was. was originated with the mountain runs very proud of that. and then to be in this situation regardless of what mr castaneda isis saying. it reaeally makes you queuestion what's happening today doesn't sins of how thiss is being handled. i'm what needs to be done and i think you know okay it is time to sort of ask those kind of

questions now. sorry. back to you so i'm going to move on to another issue out there -- to do with the climate change -- one hundred and forty eight organizations are calling for the march of the century for climate change the yellow vest will be holding that with -- climate c change activists -- on the sixteenth of march start today as they continue that purchase that you can see -- that --- ththere's a a lot to o not nowwg that --- is ifif.. nonotably -- in india there is soaring soul in new delhi -- bangkok -- andd that but it's sayingg t tht the alarm really is in india where t the worldld's mostt p pd citities seveven of t the top tr in i india kururigram t they'ree list -- iss -- actually just -- the tech hub just southwest of daily and the the just in not city alone just to and monitors
