a family member my cousin affected by
this violence His name is Ted Rose Ted LA

00:04:38
a businessman lived for 20 years in South
Africa last week attackers came to his A

00:04:43
stepless month he was scared got into his

00:04:49
commenced his car overturned and he had.
The away Salim Salamone has been following

00:04:55
the goings on in South Africa 1st welcome
to Africa news tonight celeb Thanks for

00:05:00
having me Salim What can you tell us about
these attacks 1st of all I'm so sorry

00:05:07
for your loss thank you for that if we're
sharing that story and that story really

00:05:11
illustrates what this violence does to
families and communities attacks against

00:05:17
foreigners in South Africa are not new
according to the websites you know watch

00:05:21
which tracks such incidents more than
500 attacks occurred between 19942018

00:05:28
the attacks seem to spike periodically
more than 100 attacks in 2008 leaving more

00:05:33
than 60 people dead and more than 70 attacks
occurred in 2015 this year alone there

00:05:40
has been more than 40 incidents recorded
more than half of the incidents unfolded

00:05:45
in Johannesburg the country's largest city
what have the courage of these attacks

00:05:51
what different observers have pointed to
different causes one major event for this

00:05:57
recent attack that we saw was a strike by

00:06:00
a South African truck drivers who protested
the hiring of foreign drivers and these

00:06:06
this event

00:06:06
a specific event and course corresponding
hatred rhetoric by politicians whipped up

00:06:13
anger against foreigners and other cars as
widespread unemployment the unemployment

00:06:19
rate sits at 29 percent nationwide and it
is much higher in the poorer townships

00:06:25
and fact just yesterday at

00:06:27
a university graduation morning Morgaine
the chief justice of South Africa's

00:06:33
Constitutional Court said hunger not
xenophobia was the cause of violence Here's

00:06:38
how you put it desperate people resort to
desperate measures but you mentioned that

00:06:43
violence against foreigners has historical
roots can you explain some of the

00:06:48
history Yes So South Africa of course has
been my. Cultural country for centuries

00:06:55
Bishop Desmond Tutu famously called it

00:06:57
a rainbow nation because of its diversity
but this diversity has often brought

00:07:02
tension during the time of apartheid the
white minority government placed strict

00:07:07
residency restrictions on the black
majority forcing many to live in poor areas

00:07:13
known as townships when migrants or
immigrants arrived and looked for business

00:07:18
opportunities they often found that these
same count ships were the only places

00:07:23
where they could afford to operate shops
so this bread anger and resentment and

00:07:28
politicians and others have sought
to capitalize on the anger as

00:07:32
a way to explain the lack of economic
opportunities and unemployment in the country

00:07:37
hit trade rhetoric has led
to violence so Salim for

00:07:44
a more clearer understanding of the matter
could break up the make up of foreign

00:07:49
nationals in South Africa so today
according to reports that we've seen South

00:07:53
Africa is more home home to about
3600000 foreign nationals who

00:08:00
make up about 7 percent of the population
the majority about 70 percent come from

00:08:05
the neighboring countries like a Zimbabwe
Mozambique and Sotto according to

00:08:11
a recent report we say
we saw in the B.B.C.

00:08:14
But there are also large numbers of people
from India China and other parts of the

00:08:19
African continent like Ethiopia and Nigeria
many of the poor residents of South

00:08:24
Africa's townships resent the
economic success however modest these

00:08:31
immigrants have had so this is the source
of the tension and there is no easy

00:08:36
solution to it no easy solution via way
Selim Salamone thank you for your input

00:08:42
Thanks for having me.

00:08:49
Thousands of mourners filed into our Haris.
Stadium today to pay their respects to

00:08:55
format Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe

will be held in accordance with the

00:09:05
government's wishes in Haris hero's acres

00:09:12
later and will be private via ways Anita
Powell files from. Thousands of Harare

00:09:18
residents lined up in the blazing sun to
pay final respects to the man who cast

00:09:22
a long shadow over some way Robert Mugabe's
body has lain state for 2 days at this

00:09:27
Harare stadium ahead of

00:09:28
a Saturday memorial service and Sunday
burial the 1st president of independence and

00:09:33
died last week 2 years after he was pushed
out of power by his deputy who had the

00:09:37
support of the military. Family said Friday
they had after negotiations with the

00:09:42
government agreed to have him buried in
Harare heroes acre cemetery instead of in

00:09:47
his world village as they had wanted but
his nephew Leo says the actual internment

00:09:53
will be private. And happy personally
he says because he's been getting what

00:10:00
belongs to him befitting sendoff his legacy
is being recognized and they are doing

00:10:04
things that they've never done at the
National Heroes acre. Some mourners like 51

00:10:09
year old war veteran and former Victorian
wanna say they came to show gratitude I

00:10:14
thin if he did. And he was so ill
and when I was working he felt.

00:10:21
He was weak to support his friend.
So I managed to finish it since I

00:10:28
was into housing to meet him he would do
it with him so I finished it he was the

00:10:34
one who should be expected. To use crook
others came to see closure like unemployed

00:10:41
mourner Maxwell board member bonga who's
47 we are very we are moving we are crying

00:10:48
and we don't know we are going to live ties
you know telling us why do we should do

00:10:54
we shouldn't go because like is he is
likely to be a mixed one he is hailed as

00:10:59
a liberation hero but reviled as the man
responsible for steering the nation's

00:11:03
economy into ruin. But
for 75 year old retiring

00:11:06
a lot more Morella who could hardly speak
tween sobs the man who calls placed clay

00:11:11
name and left

00:11:12
a deep impression on his life like that
what the question it is greatly pained he

00:11:18
says in the shadow language for me to be
who I am today it's all thanks to the show

00:11:24
and your pal the way news. The

00:11:31
U.N. Organization for the Coordination
of Humanitarian Affairs reports

00:11:36
a surgeon into communal conflict in
Central Mali is worsening humanitarian

00:11:42

Lisa Chow line reports for V.O.A.

00:11:47
From headquarters in Guinea for human
officials report the number of people needing

00:11:52
humanitarian assistance since the beginning
of the year has surged by 22 percent to

00:11:58
nearly 4000000 it says one in 5 people in
Mali is the pendent upon international

00:12:04
aid for survival during the same period
Archer spokesman Yancey Eric A says the

00:12:10
number of people forced to flee from intercom
you know violence has doubled to more

00:12:15
than 168500 he says increased
displacement is causing severe

00:12:22
food shortages and people are simply
removed from where they grow their food or

00:12:26
where they have their livestock what they
don't have access to that and they don't

00:12:30
get the level off that they need and of
course when the needs increase and we don't

00:12:35
see marked significant increase of the
security which we can deliver aid that is

00:12:42
a huge problem another huge problem is
lack of money my R.K. Says the U.N.

00:12:47
Has revised its appeal upwards for 10 percent
unfortunately he says only 30 percent

00:12:54
of the $324000000.00 requested has been
received Consequently he tells V.O.A.

00:13:01
Archer has been forced to cut back on

00:13:03
a number of important. Grams in order to
pay for the most basic lifesaving needs

00:13:09
such as food and potable water I can tell
you that there are certain sectors that

00:13:14
are critically underfunded for
example health has received 2.8

00:13:21
percent of the financing that they
were asking for that means that

00:13:26
a lot of health projects which have been
decided are ready to begin simply can't

00:13:32
take off they don't start liar Kay says
other critically underfunded programs

00:13:38
include education protection water and
sanitation He notes the loss of these

00:13:43
programs have serious consequences for
the present and future well being of the

00:13:48
population Lisa slimed for V.O.A.

Ugandan scientists are in the advanced
stages have pre-dated unethically modified

mosquitoes to help fight malaria they say.
The modified male male mosquitoes are

00:19:26
sterile and will be released to counter
the females which spread the malaria and

00:19:32
keep them from breeding via ways Catharine

Uganda ranking 5th among African countries
with highest malaria prevailing

eliminating female anough Elice mosquitoes
we are targeting the major factors in

00:20:47
the disease transmission and here it is
enough with me so that's one of the 3

00:20:51
species that are responsible so we
think that this could be targeted in

00:20:57
a very precise way in the way genetic
modification can ever in the past to do with

00:21:03
. The media transmission of course that's
the big idea so he says if they try

00:22:41
decade the world has seen significant
advances towards eliminating malaria in fact

00:22:46
. But in some regions progress has
slowed according to the World Health

00:22:51
Organization Sheila pony reports from South
Sudan where due to years of conflict

00:22:57
and environmental conditions
my Leiria may be finding

00:23:01
a new foothold. In South
Sudan mosquito borne

00:23:07
malaria is the leading cause of sickness
and death in children under 5 years old

00:23:13
program director for national
malaria control program harried

00:23:18
a kilo Pasquale monitors the number of
infections across the country this year so

00:23:23
far we have seen that in

00:23:26
a number of counties have reported an
increase. Above the normal of what they used

00:23:33
to reported if in the past years so from
our weekly reports 25 counties have been

00:23:39
identified to report increase in malaria
cases compared to the previous years

00:23:47
2. As South Sudan enters the peak of this
year's rainy season the sound of their

00:23:52
children crying from anti malaria and
injections is something that mothers such as

00:23:57
Frida Shamima are living through but struggle
to understand her daughter is only 9

00:24:04
months only to find a love letter
written in The Last Of Us I'm

00:24:08
a little relative I brought her to the
hospital her body was weak she was vomiting

00:24:12
and having diarrhea and I was told she has
malaria I really don't know what to do

00:24:16
about this malaria even after treatment
it keeps coming back. Pasquale says that

00:24:22
the patient overload can overwhelm
medical walk us and morally we see about

00:24:29
4000000 cases reported from the health
facility many doctors are moderate to

00:24:36
ban the medical director at al-Shabaab

The 2020 Olympics in Tokyo are scheduled
to officially open on July 24th and

00:34:32
go through August 9th it's

00:34:34
a time in Japan when the sweltering
heat is causing organizers to think up

00:34:40
countermeasures including artificial
snow to beat the heat Reuters

00:34:46
reporter Jason now bando tells us more fans
and athletes at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics

00:34:53
might be able to take

00:34:54
a little break from next summer's heat
with some snow on Friday organizers

00:34:59
sprinkled artificial
snow and spectators at

00:35:01
a test event to see if it would help
with the high temperatures and humidity

00:35:06
Khujand 30 S.

00:35:07
Of the snow machine cannot actually cool
down the temperature but instead it gives

00:35:11
a cooling feeling to visitors with pieces
of ice that fall down on them as the race

00:35:16
of the 2020 Olympics in Japan heats up
organizers are scrambling to work out

00:35:20
counter measures to cool everybody down
temperatures commonly passed 30 degrees

00:35:25
Celsius that's 86 degrees Fahrenheit in
July and August when the games. Slated to

00:35:31
begin next year this year

00:35:33
a deadly heat wave that killed scores of
people since July 1 construction worker

00:35:37
who died of suspected heat stroke according
to local media was found unconscious on

00:35:42
the grounds of the Tokyo 2020 construction
site. It's important to take measures to

00:35:47
stay safe in the heat if we want to avoid
something like this happening again I

00:35:51
think it is important for these measures
to be officially implemented other

00:35:55
countermeasures for the heat cool water
vapor sprays as well as air conditioning

rest areas and well you might say the

Tall he changed while

in stands at 6 feet 6 inches
tall which gives fury

a 3. Into advantage and fury admitted that
is in part why he chose wollen as his

on the Voice of America turning to
tennis Rafael Nadal's epic 5 set

00:46:00
title victory against Daniel
med vet of at the recent U.S.

00:46:04
Open in New York is still generating
reaction reporter Craig Gabriel was

00:46:11
courtside for a rock 19
major championship I sent

00:46:15
a tweet to Craig and asked him Where do
you rate Nidal Medvedev in the history of

00:46:22
U.S. Open men's finals Craig tweeted
back it was the absolute best U.S.

00:46:29
Open final of the last couple of
decades if this encore Sunnyside

00:46:36
a sports presentation Let's listen in again
to Craig Gabriel's post match report

00:46:42
it's moments can define Korea's experiences
can live on forever emotions remain

00:46:47
deep inside the person on
the final night of the U.S.

00:46:50
Open the match the transfixed on the author
Ashe Stadium to fit all those points

00:46:55
and probably then some rough in a
doll and then in Medvedev played

00:46:58
a match the comp be praised highly enough
for 4 hours and 50 minutes everyone was

00:47:02
on a roller coaster of emotions and
excitement it was like turning the pages of

00:47:06
a Daniel Suva novel just when you thought
you knew the protagonist there was yet

00:47:10
another chapter to who to write in it
seemed like the doll had the fun in the bag

00:47:14
he led Medvedev 2 sets to love and had a
break it was a matter of pushing just

00:47:18
a bit more but the crowd would
take in the noise decibels up to

00:47:21
a few notches and the Russian mounted his
comeback suddenly he was in the game the

00:47:26
3rd set fell to him when he finished
with the back and drive winner it was

00:47:30
concerned KR. Eating into an adult's face
the 4th set level pegged with Medvedev

00:47:34
serving 1st Nidal serve
to make it 5 all but in

00:47:37
a flurry Medvedev stunned
the Spaniard with

00:47:39
a priceless back and passing shot down the
line the crowd went nuts the 5th seed

00:47:44
had

00:47:44
a chance to break early in the 5th but the
DA was right there and instead he went

00:47:49
up

00:47:49
a double break in lead 52 and so for the
championship but no this really wasn't ready

00:47:54
to end the Medvedev pushed it to the brink
a 2nd time the dos and after saving

00:47:59
a breakpoint the championship became his
center returned long and rough it dropped

00:48:04
to the court 756-357-4664 the
shame that could only be just one

00:48:11
that's 1st here from Russia and then from
Daniel. The last hours of the match had

00:48:17
been very very intense and. Very
dark mentally and physically.

00:48:25
With the video with the crowd that have
been as always amazing all the fights.

00:48:33
Make. The moment so pretty
special. I'm probably had

00:48:38
a moment. Tonight I'm not happy to lose but
I have to give myself credit for these

00:48:44
2 weeks it's been amazing before the
tournament my best result was 4 strong of

00:48:49
a slam had some physical problems sometimes
I didn't play as good as they wanted

00:48:55
but I managed to be in the final and managed
to give huge fight to one of the best

00:49:00
players in the history of our sport and
have to give myself credit I hope. I grew I

00:49:07
want to win this sinks but I need to
continue and I need to be better for Daniel

00:49:11
it's been

00:49:12
a remarkable season he will be the new
world number 4 and there's so much more to

00:49:15
come from this 23 year old
this is new dolls for 2 U.S.

00:49:19
Open in his 19th major putting in now just
one behind Roger Federer is record and

00:49:24
he says that is not his game I don't look

Did you know that you have a built in
network of biological clocks which over

00:55:00
a roughly 24 hour cycle regulates
overriding of processes such as behavior

00:55:06
physiology and metabolism this is to move
clocks is usually synchronized with our

00:55:11
body's master clock located within the
brains hypothalamus scientists have

00:55:15
suspected that these individual clocks
can operate independently of the master

00:55:20
clock to test this theory researchers from
Spain and the US stopped the circadian

00:55:25
system of specially bred mice then they
activated individual clocks in the liver

00:55:31
while all the other clocks had been the
same old the researchers found that the

00:55:34
liver continued to keep its circadian
rhythm and performed its critical functions

00:55:39
the researchers say that their work
could help scientists learn more about

00:55:43
circadian rhythms the aging process is and
