people trying to escape that country into the dominican republic. if i remember correctly a couple of years ago. but this is a far more serious situation. dominican republic knows the history of haiti as well as anyone else. they know how fast this could go very, very bad indeed. so i think to keep their own nation safe. they close that border. although i have to say it's a pretty forest board. it will be pretty difficult to tell people if they were heading there on mass, but it gives you a sense of just how potentially catastrophic the situation is. now. i mean, if patients didn't like, you know, but that's one thing. but his assassination is something entirely different. i don't think people certainly not hearing little care so much about the assassination, and i'm not being flippant with that remark. i think they care more about what will happen next. how safe they will be and who will be the new leadership? because remember, the united nations pulled out of haiti in 2017 and the gallagher with the latest on that to from little haiti in miami. an

as the people linked to the incident used as a port of arrival, the dominican republic to travel to haitian territory, the unrest on the streets of haiti's capital has largely subsided, though tensions remain high. outside the u. s embassy in puerto prince, a crowd gathered with many saying they seek to flee the country in anticipation of a worsening political crisis, was the way to go by norma. you're all here since last night. it's a normal thing to do to try to get out of the country since our president was assassinated by the death of president moiz at the hands of foreign mercenaries, left the country in shock. on friday evening, the haitian senate named joseph lambert as the country's interim president, the former haitian prime minister, wrote the moth pills, al jazeera, that international cooperation in this investigation is vital regarding the immediate future of both concerned. because of course, over the fascination of president and its aftermath, but i'm hopeful that their current government is making their writings into inviting international community to come in opening up the

so washington is very interested in haiti, of chairs the island with the dominican republic. it is a neighbor of cuba right across the windward passage. so geo, strategically, it's very important. moving the program on la years of french nuclear testing in algeria is a horrid desert of left, a lasting impact on locals, on the environment. 6 decades on the radioactive aftermaths still remains with algeria denouncing paris over its refusal to sure where nuclear waste is buried. here's our t charlatans gain. it's 60 years since from if you doubt g area as a nuclear testing ground. but the injury is still being felt today. thousands of victims contaminated by radiation waiting for compensation. now the old theory and government is stepping up the fight. it has accused frances refusing to handle important information regarding the site. the free site is not technically lead any initiative to clean up the sites in front has not taken any humanitarian steps to compensate the victims. many radiation victims have already died due to unknown medical conditions and causes, but of those
