investment and international trains poland's plan involves spending a leaven 1000000 euros on scholarships for media and academics that it deems to be independent warsaw is also generously offering to open its doors to belorussian workers just think what the loss of bellerose to skilled workers would do to help democracy. actions would not interfere with our neighbors in tone and the fact is we can and should extend a helping hand to the russians it's a similar story in lithuania where the opposition leaders settle on a take on of sky isn't self-imposed exile and other belorussian anti-government n.g.o.s are operating from it's also where a fund raising initiative called freedom 1st to go bella reuss is being organized intended to encourage the creation of a democratic state aside from the fact that its director provided direct support to the ukrainian uprising in 2014 little is known about who is involved or where the

money is coming from combined questions surrounding the opposition's shady sources of funding with the e.u. is cold shoulder to lucas sankoh and you have to ask yourself who is going to really come out on top from the rest and valorous is an important russian everything will be here in the western media i mean you know the news of the day is . that of mere speeches both. usually. east to russia so the 2 sides are really pointing fingers at one another in the case of the new they've made the 1st concrete steps to be called late with just clearance in. their loose affairs the russians so far as well but they've been very patient and liberals who are in charge of the us if you believe that we all are one line one train that is one direction so that is the view that's

4:10 am
and the fight against terrorism and succeeded with our unique information center in niamey we have achieved strong results especially in recent weeks. france recently raised the number of troops in the region to 5000 but locals say they want them out and. the reason we are protesting is that france has been here in our country for 7 years but people die if we had 10 difficulties when france arrived we now have 90 france came to help us to fight terrorism but now each of us is questioning if it has indeed been for. our impression is daily suffering it is us who called traitors to help we called it to help us fight terrorism thing got friends keen that they came to help but they came to destroy us i don't know your motives our leaders do not dare tell them to leave we will tell them we want them out of the country. and many analysts don't point the finger at france for the situation but actually point

4:12 am
wondering if the situation will deteriorate even further toppling the president of mali lead to further terrorism and violence well if france's record seems to point to anything it's that the presence of foreign troops doesn't really help the situation they look up and artsy new york. a leading u.k. medical school says that the training for doctors in britain is inherently racist the university of bristol medical school says urgent action needs to be taken to examine why teaching mainly focuses on how illnesses affect white people historically medical education was designed and written by white middle class men and so there is an inherent racism in medicine that means it exists to serve white patients above all others we're teaching students how to recognise a life or death clinical sign largely in white people and not acknowledging these differences may be dangerous. we're still medical school notes that doctors are currently trained to be on the lookout for patients turning blue that criterion
4:13 am
fails for non white patients the issue has been raised after students complained that they were left ill prepared to treat patients from ethnic minority backgrounds the u.k. medical school council says it's putting plans in place to improve the situation is working with universities to diversify curricular and improve support for people dealing with racism but everyone's persuaded though that medical treatment can suffer from bias i've never read more known since in my life i can understand the statement the doctors need to have the skills needed to treat ethnic minority patients better but i'm not sure this is the same thing as decolonized in the medical curriculum i also thought the biggest effect on health was poverty. no good scientist would hold racism as a viable theory medical education may require improvements in terms of approach to racial characteristics but i remain unpersuaded that a culture of racism is present we heard contrasting views on issues from former
4:14 am
senior nurse rebecca butler and bristol university medical student or other be. the issue at hand is the fact that whilst we do have a considerable number of the population is turning blue if they are sino we have a very significant portion of the population which will be increasing as we continue with time that will manifest in that same way and can't afford to make mistakes and if it can be rectified earlier in medical education when we're given the theory that is the political to everyone as well as white people black people and people of darker skin color as that's great and that's something we should be working towards so that our medical education system is adequately preparing all doctors across the country for the diverse population that moment oh that's just ridiculous i mean saya gnosis and actually one of the signs of hypoxia is either the patient appears quite read it or they do go

a gray color around the mouth and on their fingertips and in africa caribbean person i was always taught to look at the underside of their palms not at their fingertips because with a dark skin color ration you can't see the blue so recently but they would also be breathless they would also be perspiring they would also have a raised holes rate it's not the only sign and it is just ridiculous jumping on a racism bandwagon or abyss where it's a problem that doesn't exist at all the data that patients of different colors and skin types and different races raised in the patient picture of health in traditional medical education and one could argue yes that is underpinning racism because it raises the fact that there are people in this population who want white who will not manifest with illness in the same way and if that theory is consistently left out from the medical school curriculums it will do a disservice to not only doctors in training but to the patients that they will eventually go into so we're wordy raises is what you need to look at here nobody is
