Candidates when talking about the unfair trade to men 00:07:36 with a bad fall and all of the exclusion when they did from 00:07:40 a position from the polling counted and the fact of turning 00:07:46 a blind eye to those who voted to save 00:07:49 a cat and so this is what you say does the Catholic Church 00:07:56 feel that the results of the election would be credible about to the credibility. 00:08:04 And so that is so the. It is elections we simply want and if the 00:08:12 it agree that it is that we have to do not really prejudice that is to keep the pro 00:08:19 career human rights groups have talked 00:08:22 a lot about human rights and the lack of political freedom. What is the view of the 00:08:28 church even rights in Burundi. Valuation know that human rights we have 00:08:35 no mechanism to observe and Judge away that human rights respect I don't not at all 00:08:42 the country sometimes cases over fired and some people even in my Does every 00:08:49 pull to due to laws by our community of his by the we don't have the capacity to 00:08:56 find out toward kickstand this case is attributable to the state 00:09:03 that was Bishop Jakim and Honda re the presidents of the Episcopal Conference of 00:09:08 Burundi speaking to daybreak Africa's James Butty in Ghana 00:09:13 a parliamentarian from the National Democratic Congress opposition party has called 00:09:17 for suspension of Parliament's after local media reported to lawmakers and staff 00:09:22 members in the legislature tested positive for covert 19 Samuel nor Tate George 00:09:29 said adequate measures have yet to be implemented to stop the spread of the disease 00:09:33 within parliament other opposition members back to George's call to suspend 00:09:38 parliament but ruling party supporters rejected his demand saying it is politically 00:09:43 motivated to thwart parliamentary business and head of elections in December the 00:09:48 always Peter Clottey spoke to George who said that business as usual in parliament 00:09:52 during the pandemic will endangered the lives of all lawmakers regardless of party 00:09:59 oh and it means that you know I. Don't protocol. And I don't get it 00:10:06 right. Again I think some taste it for the most 80 that anybody is home of 00:10:12 a good look at the record the baddest a context rationing me a is 00:10:18 a mixed anybody any of them is a clip much ice age as 00:10:23 a whole to believe and trust that everything is Iran hasn't been told the members 00:10:28 of parliament and part of an afterthought of the limits of need by. Almost 00:10:34 any cases where there's an image of armed men in the chamber with the rest of us if 00:10:39 that's the case it's 00:10:40 a whole of all been exposed as having me on and isolation of the men at that head 00:10:46 thing I'm of the apology if it means that the interest on it has 00:10:51 a general hold national public life for the whole state so if I may ask you what 00:10:57 has been the response speak out on perhaps the leadership. On them and talking 00:11:03 about both the majority in the minority leadership about calls for parliament to be 00:11:07 suspended as a minimum I know you can call them and I had 00:11:10 a good observation that I mean even an emotional and exciting is and I heard the 00:11:16 same thinking and I in fact as far as much of the year I didn't vote to the speaker 00:11:22 of parliament and said that I was going after and I admitted because I didn't have 00:11:27 in place 00:11:28 a regular the necessary protocols to protect members of parliament and parliamentary 00:11:33 staff home 00:11:34 a civil infraction I went to the speak that I would only of their myself when the 00:11:39 whole business and the house related to all of the virus and provide 00:11:43 a to the exit of faith and me and strife in medical mind that I have 00:11:50 been vindicated today members of parliament are the most effective I would say is 00:11:56 because the local I mean I'm hopefully in 00:11:59 a deal about it but on the life of the house and I trust my meter she. 00:12:06 I say to stay out of it and come I tell you what do you say to critics who are of 00:12:12 the view that your poxy all the members of your party in parliament just 00:12:19 want poly men to be suspended so that business regular business is grossly 00:12:26 affected practically in the you often election and that this is just politically 00:12:31 motivated out do you react to that they think you know I don't think. I'm holding 00:12:36 the all the paper up or to gain anything. That will add 00:12:42 a few members of parliament or one of the many of them up and on and on to the 00:12:47 minute clip and then the 2 statements by members when they're out all we have is 00:12:52 consideration of detailed education I gleefully below and get it if you've got 00:12:56 people who just want it and because none of this is 00:12:59 a guarantee that of this is really going to fire. You not have any serious pressure 00:13:05 to put in the house will be safe and also suggest that maybe the much very. Kind of 00:13:11 quick for us to be an economy just won't actually be quite yet and I am one who's 00:13:17 called that. And he said that I'm not saying that part of interest of it will. 00:13:25 Be 00:13:25 a problem and clinical benefit. Of the Fed could be an argument that the response of 00:13:32 the. It would be better. In 00:13:36 a way. Of course and for really good competitor the parliament will be 00:13:43 able to do that that was Canadian lawmakers Samuel meditate George speaking to view 00:13:48 ways Peter Clottey 00:13:49 a key adviser to Sudan's ruling sovereign council leader of the Father Albert died 00:13:55 of coded 19 this week meanwhile numerous high profile prisoners from the ousted 00:14:00 government of former presidents Omar al Bashir have tested positive for the 00:14:05 coronavirus. Now rumors are circulating that other prominent figures are also 00:14:11 infected to explain what is known and what is unknown I spoke earlier with 00:14:15 a journalist as well d.n.r. 00:14:17 Bob in Khartoum Sudan. 00:14:25 And then. Maybe. 00:14:32 When he's Ok he's not somebody. Who I don't know why he won't go. And I 00:14:39 was oh well so you know did they give 00:14:43 a test for Corona virus we don't know because there's no on it thing about where 00:14:48 they're. Going to ride I don't know there's the case of one of our border hons 00:14:53 advisors 00:14:54 a diplomat named National Guard who apparently died from coronavirus Who is she and 00:15:01 what happens to her she was. The one who like. 00:15:10 Many. Of you and you've got 00:15:17 a problem she got out of Iraq is there any indication that while she was sick that 00:15:22 she was in contact with border town or other leaders in Sudan they. 00:15:32 Got it now according to 00:15:34 a statement from Sudan's public prosecutor's office there are some other prominent 00:15:39 people in Sudan who have tested positive for coronavirus particularly some high 00:15:44 profile prisoners who were members of the previous governments of former President 00:15:48 Omar al Bashir and who are wanted by the International Criminal Courts what do we 00:15:53 know about covert 19 among these prisoners that Francoise and that. 00:16:02 I don't know about only about the old. Song. But him he's good for my. 00:16:10 Own Good bye and then I get out of get the medical program including going inside 00:16:14 and. They know that they've grown up by it and you know how to beat them 00:16:21 on 00:16:21 a limb for that is that I know it's about Muhammad not by much but it's better than 00:16:25 a lot but you got 00:16:27 a problem. Going on about it and did the public prosecutor's statement say anything 00:16:32 about former President Omar al Bashir who was also in prison they said men didn't 00:16:37 mention anything about. Some of the repeal used to. Get out of it 00:16:44 but they didn't think anything about it because you don't need to go off about the 00:16:48 brother because that meant he was. Holding it. For all time was. 00:16:56 An uneasy about good that he brought that people don't know right as well that he 00:17:00 owned it or not that is the matter but here is 00:17:04 a bit of. Good men you know to. Me I was able to 00:17:11 lead that kind of meaning the danger is that these did not really help me all those 00:17:17 who are really good and they were right did. 00:17:24 Indeed medical care they needed That was journalist as all do you know Bob in 00:17:30 Khartoum Sudan. South Africa and Uganda have had very different experiences with 00:17:36 the covert 19 outbreak South Africa is Africa's hotspot Uganda is beginning to ease 00:17:42 restrictions and the Indian Ocean islands nation Maurice has reported no new cases 00:17:48 for over 00:17:48 a week the health ministers from those 3 countries recently met to discuss the 00:17:52 pandemic view always need 00:17:54 a pow reports the coronavirus medical experts like to say doesn't care about 00:17:59 borders or language or any of the cultural aspects of humanity like viruses the 00:18:05 world over. Just seize targets but since the fires appeared on the African 00:18:10 continent some 3 months ago it is taking 00:18:12 a different course in different countries the continent recently reported 100000 00:18:17 positive cases but they're spread unevenly South Africa leads the continent with 00:18:21 more than $25000.00 cases and rapid growth where it's 00:18:25 a small tropical island of militias hasn't seen 00:18:27 a new case of local transmission in more than 00:18:30 a month Meanwhile countries such as Rwanda and Uganda that have previously sparred 00:18:34 with epidemics have reported cases in the hundreds but no deaths talked about city 00:18:39 some would say the World Health Organization's regional director for Africa says 00:18:43 the organization is training more than 10000 health workers in an attempt to 00:18:46 decentralize their response to deal with these different realities most countries 00:18:51 still have fewer than 1000 reported cases this means that the government is locked 00:18:58 down and on 00:18:58 a social measure it's important that the strong public health measures as in place 00:19:06 in place all over the territories not just in the capital cities but communities 00:19:11 I'm Pods and unable to take preventive actions and that we continue working on 00:19:16 strengthening health systems and delivering essential services in racialist the 00:19:21 nation's Minister of Health and Wellness Dr Cullen to come are saying drug Powell 00:19:25 said preparation was key to the nation's response and its apparent success in 00:19:30 containing the virus right this is the 1st cases of. 00:19:37 Our many Dorie.

Be happy to take. 00:21:13 The. Risk and. 00:21:20 Give an opportunity to build up to keep. Getting the place we 00:21:28 need. To respond to it any. More and he said the cases 00:21:35 in Africa remain lower than in other parts of the world said one thing holds true 00:21:39 across this continent the virus doesn't let its guard down in its quest to survive 00:21:45 and so she said we shouldn't either and he Paul the one used to have 00:21:49 a spark the World Health Organization says one in 5 adults in Africa smoke to.
