niamey we have 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 not on 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 to nato as intervention in nearby libya which unleashed

5:16 am
to shape out this day become active. and engaged because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. summer solution is. just sort of all out there in this series now today we're covering the big dollars a day globalization what comes next with the investment manager lawrence. lawrence walsh. welcome back 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
5:17 am
examine why teaching mainly focuses on how elicits a fact 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 recognize a life or death clinical sign largely in white people and not acknowledging these differences may be dangerous but still medical school notes doctors are currently trained to be on the lookout for patients turning blue but that criterion fails for nonwhite patients the issue has been raised after students complained that they were left ill prepared to treat patients from ethnic minority backgrounds now the u.k. medical school council says it's putting plans in place to improve the situation is working with universities to diversify curricula 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 nonsense in my life
5:18 am
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 concerns contrasting views on the issue from former senior nurse rebecca butler and bristol university medical student or it ought to be. the issue at hand is the fact that whilst we do have a considerable number of the population turning if they are sino used 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 can't afford the return estates and if it can be rectified earlier in medical education when we're given
5:19 am
the theory that is the pickle 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 of women to start over that's just ridiculous i mean cya 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 the 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
5:20 am
a problem that doesn't exist at all the fact 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 a racing anybody in the british health service if you. to india or nigeria parts of sub-saharan africa all the medical schools there will teach sino says i was educated in india half my friends of doctors i've i've tweeted about this you know ask them about this over the course of the day of course they learn about news in coloration everybody i know talks about it nobody is raised in the british health

service. the only power plant in gaza has shut down but israel stopped supplying it with fuel that was a response to cross a border fire from a months according to guards or officials the amount of electricity available to residents has been drastically reduced the population of 2000000 relies on israel for most of its energy needs a currently get around 6 hours of electricity a day this could go down to half and this heavily affects the main services in the gaza strip including health care. either. why does only gaza have to deal with this problem it could put 75 percent of patients lives at risk patients will die if there's no electricity here treatment times will have to be car. risk it could be at a time when other the machines will not work and staff will be forced to shorten the duration of dallas's this will cause suffering for patients and some could die so we need to provide the treatment for 4 hours every 2 free days it will be
5:22 am
a disaster and many people will suffer that this is totally wrong it's put in the health of so many people the trees people might not survive when i get there absolutely i feel bad and i can't sleep i used to ask my daughter to help me without electricity there will be no dialysis. health officials in gaza say that in addition to the patients who need regular procedures surgical operations and intensive care are also at risk and covert 19 testing labs may have to halt their operations but little services need hundreds of thousands of liters of fuel to provide normal levels of care the health ministry has called for an urgent resolution of the issue. cutting off electricity to hospitals will have a dangerous effect on all health services provided in the gaza strip we call on all relevant parties to intervene to solve this problem and save the health sector in gaza by restarting the power plant again. human rights activists said the hole to
5:23 am
fuel supplies amounts to collective punishment targeting people's basic needs. of the israeli decision to close the crossings and block shipments and the resulting power cutoff is a dangerous escalation and collective punishment of gaza it violates international law and basic human decency it is political blackmail. in a surprise move canada's prime minister just introduced her suspended the country's parliament that despite vowing in the past never to make use of this legislative power critics accuse the canadian leader of trying to dodge scrutiny over his government's role in a growing ethics scandal that also involves his family. i have asked the governor general to procurement which must happen before any government can present a throne speech starting a new session of parliament is about creating sustainable ways to support you moving forward that has always been our number one focus and it always will be

justin trudeau computed his right hand to try and save himself with you for skills finance minister to resign now he is shutting down parliament and looking out of position m.p.'s to prevent us from holding him accountable and getting answers on his we scandal. shutting down parliament in the middle of a pandemic and an economic crisis with a plan sitting next week in committees working hard to get answers and solutions for canadians is wrong. trudeau as justified the 5 week suspension with the need to reassess the parliamentary agenda several of its committees have been investigating the government's actions involving a student grant program and the independent ethics watchdogs also separately investigating the prime minister trudeau is being probed over alleged breaches of conflict of interest laws for awarding a $690000000.00 student grant program to we charity which has ties to the p.m.'s relatives trudeau has dismissed allegations of preferential treatment we charity
5:25 am
and the government have since ended their partnership. the prime minister's been reprimanded by the country's ethics watchdog twice before last year he was probed for pressuring his former attorney general to help a major canadian company settle a corruption case out of court so in this problem the phone co says that this latest scandal is unlikely to go away. number of high ranking liberals including the prime minister were connected with the charity his family members his mother and his brother received close over $300000.00 in paid speaking opportunities with that organization i do think that over the last couple of years his character has as being damaged by his own actions by his own words by his past and how that conflicts with his present by the things he's seeing versus the things that he's doing and the recent use of the probation as well as the we
