This is BBC World News Today, with me, Philippa Thomas. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
With just two days to go before a vote on independence | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
will last minute promises keep Scotland within the United Kingdom? | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
The Yes campaign says the offer of more powers | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
But Gordon Brown claims it's the only way to protect key services. | :00:16. | :00:25. | |
Do you think we would ever stand by and allow the NHS to be privatised | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
or cut in Scotland? Do you think we would ever allow the NHS not to have | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
the powers in Scotland to protect itself? No! The only guarantee to | :00:38. | :00:45. | |
protect the health service, create jobs, make sure we do not get Tory | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
governments we did not vote for is to vote yes. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
The French government narrowly wins a confidence vote, | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
but will that help it turn round the French economy? | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
This extraordinary scene as Ukraine ratifies an historic deal | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
to tighten ties with the European Union. | :01:02. | :01:14. | |
With only two days to go to referendum day, | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
both sides in the Scottish independence debate have seized | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
on a pledge by Britain's three main parties to devolve more powers. | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
Party leaders David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg say the | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
United Kingdom, the Union, offers voters the best of both worlds. | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
But the Yes to indepence campaign describes their pledge as an insult | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
to voters, asking why it's taken so long to offer extra powers. | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
And as James Cook reports, the future of a key | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
government service, the NHS, has been central to today's campaigning. | :01:47. | :01:56. | |
This campaign began more than two years ago. As Ed Miliband arrived in | :01:57. | :02:06. | |
Edinburgh, you would not know it. Both sides are fired up, there is | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
little sign of fatigue as they argue passionately about the future of | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
this country. Today, those arguments focused on Scotland's's health | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
service, the NHS is already run from Edinburgh, but this document | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
suggests the Scottish Government may soon have to save more than ?400 | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
million from its budget. The Scottish Parliament has the powers | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
to raise the amount of money spent on the National Health Service, or | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
any other public service, if they are prepared to go to the sponge | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
people and ask them to raise the revenue to do so. This nails the | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
Scottish National Party line. As tempers fray and temperatures rise, | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
SNP ministers are hitting back. They insist they are not planning to cut | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
the NHS, and if money is tight, Westminster, which sets Scotland's | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
overall budget, is to blame. We will fight to protect the health service. | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
I know how hard it is to protect the budget of the health service when | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
the overall budget is being cut. We did that, and we continue to do it. | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
But when your budget is being cut by Westminster, that makes it harder | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
and harder to do. And there is a wider argument. Both sides agreed | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
that they want Scotland to have more control of its own affairs. They | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
disagree about how much control and how it should happen. Today, the | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
three UK party leaders published a pledge, going to introduce more | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
powers if Scotland says Now. They see it will ensure the Scottish | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
Parliament will be Parliament -- permanent. And that they will have | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
the final say on NHS spending. We are voting for a stronger Scotland, | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
a stronger Scottish Parliament with more powers so we can protect the | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
NHS, we can protect education, services in Scotland. And at the | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
same time, we avoid the risks that would come from independence. But | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
campaigners for Independence Day the pledge is nonsense. They point out | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
that the three party still do not agree on what extra powers should be | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
devolved. Some on the Yes team wants to go much further. We live in a | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
Scotland that is socially scarred! Tommy Sheridan has been to ring the | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
country calling for a radical new Scotland. So popular is his | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
message, he sometimes is to speak outside to those who cannot get into | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
the hall. We will not yet be a socialist country, just a free | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
country after September. But the declaration is quite clear. It will | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
be a more progressive, more fear country. Public ownership of gas, | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
electricity, oil and the railways. We will be listened to a lot of | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
more. Scotland's future has been hanging in the balance for a long | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
time. But very soon, Scotland decides. | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
Among the many international observers now in Scotland is | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
a delegation from Canada's Parti Quebecois, | :05:11. | :05:11. | |
including Alexandre Cloutier, a leading member of Quebec's | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
provincial parliament, and of course an advocate of independence. | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
Welcome to World News Today. Do you think the SNP has learned anything | :05:22. | :05:31. | |
from your experience in Quebec customer I am sure they are aware of | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
what we have been doing in the past. I am sure they are able to make the | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
difference necessary. It is two different situations, but we are a | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
democratic country under Democratic party. We have tried to do | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
independence in Canada respectfully of all laws and the International | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
Charter of rights, but Scottish people have their own great | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
experience now. What do you make of what you are seeing? Over 40 of you | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
either from Quebec to watch over campaigns are going. We are very | :06:07. | :06:14. | |
excited to be here, we wanted to learn from the Scottish experience. | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
The Yes campaign has been doing amazing work. It is quite | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
unbelievable the progress they have made doing the last 24 months. I | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
remember when I was a student here in 2004, the movement was not so | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
organised. It is quite unbelievable the progress. We wanted to | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
understand better who were supporting the Yes movement. What do | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
you think can said be to voters who still have not made up their minds? | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
Those who are worried about economic certainty or even economic recession | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
following a vote for independence? I do not have any advice to give to | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
people here. I am only here to learn from the experience. There is no | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
doubt from me that a small country can do very well, we have a great | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
example in northern Europe where you have very rich, small countries | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
doing very well. I totally understand the argument when you | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
say, why should you not only yourself, and do things for your | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
people? How big a story is this back on? It is very big. All eyes are | :07:26. | :07:34. | |
being turned here. I have been doing so many interviews, people are | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
looking towards what is going to happen here. Not many people | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
believed it was possible, and now, obviously, anything can happen. We | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
will find out in a couple of days. Thank you very much. | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
France's Prime Minister Manuel Valls has narrowly won a confidence vote | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
in his reshuffled cabinet amid record low poll ratings for the | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
It follows anger on the left of his Socialist Party | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
at the government's plan to drive through austerity policies. | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
But although 31 Socialist Party deputies were reported to have | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
abstained, Mr Valls still won with 269 votes to 244. | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
In an uncompromising speech earlier, Valls said he would not be swayed | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
from his plans to save 50 billion euros over the next three years. | :08:20. | :08:27. | |
Joining us from our Paris studio is Christine Ockrent, | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
a leading French journalist and television presenter. | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
Welcome to World News Today. He scraped through, but that does not | :08:35. | :08:42. | |
necessarily make all socialists happy? Certainly not, but as you | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
just said, Manuel Valls's challenge was not so much to convince | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
opposition in parliament, but to convince his own people. Five months | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
after being in office, he had again to ask for confidence, because he | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
has been adamant about the need for reforms. You have to understand | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
that, as opposed to the British Labour Party, which went through | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
that sort of ideological revolution, many years back, French socialists | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
are still, part of them, at least, very much against market capitalism. | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
Against globalisation. And quite far away from economic reality, so | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
Manuel Valls has had, since he has been, the courage and indeed the | :09:40. | :09:47. | |
stamina to try and convince his political party, his opponents | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
within the Socialist party, and also French public opinion. How much | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
chance do you think he has of pushing through the economic reforms | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
chance do you think he has of that he and Francois Hollande I | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
really needed? -- say at really needed? Francois Hollande was | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
elected on a series of false promises. Had he not made them, he | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
probably would not have been elected. But the problem is that | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
these have been two wasted years. Manuel Valls makes no mystery of the | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
need to try and catch up. The problem with public opinion is, and | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
I think it is true in all of our democracies, is that people ask for | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
a very quick results. Of course, it does not happen overnight. The | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
French economy is absolutely still, nothing happens. There is no | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
growth. There is a risk of deflation within the Eurozone. All of the | :10:55. | :11:04. | |
measures to try and get the business community to create jobs, assuming | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
these measures ever work, it will not create 300,000 jobs in two | :11:07. | :11:14. | |
weeks. The problem is really a race against time, as indeed the next | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
presidential election being in 2017, the opposition, which has not | :11:20. | :11:28. | |
put forward any proposal at all that makes any sense so far, in a way, | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
the presidential campaign has started today in my view. When you | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
listen carefully to what Manuel Valls has said. And thinking about | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
that next campaign, how much of a threat to you think the opposition | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
is? The Prime Minister has threatened that they are at the | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
gates of power. I think it is true when you look at the latest opinion | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
polls. They have indeed risen, and it showed in the European election | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
is not that long ago. It is a threat, not only to the socialists | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
in power, but also to the Conservatives. People say, after all | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
these traditional politicians, what have they done for us except put us | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
in this plight? Why not try something else? Even if the economic | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
proposals are preposterous, people are tempted to say, the hell with | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
you, the traditional elite way of doing things. Let's try something | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
new. That is what is shown in the opinion polls. When it comes to the | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
ballots, that maybe another story. It is indeed a threat. Good to speak | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
to you. Thank you. American ground forces could be | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
deployed against Islamic State militants if the current | :12:51. | :12:52. | |
United States-led strategy fails. That's the view of top US General | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
Martin Dempsey who's been speaking President Obama has insisted US | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
ground troops would not have But General Dempsey says | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
he'd make that recommendation if the international coalition | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
against Islamic State My view at this point is that this | :13:07. | :13:21. | |
coalition is the appropriate way forward. I believe that will prove | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
true. But if it feels to be true, and if there are threats to the | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
United States, I would go back to the President and make a | :13:31. | :13:32. | |
recommendation that may include the use of US military ground forces. | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
General Dempsey's comments come after the US carried out its first | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
air strike against Islamic State under its new strategy and Kurdish | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
troops on the ground are pushing towards Iraq's second city of Mosul. | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
Our correspondent Jim Muir is with the Kurdish forces. | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
Cutting through the skies of northern Iraq at dawn, American jets | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
providing air cover for the latest offensive against IS positions. | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
Below, Kurdish forces are preparing for action. American drones were | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
also up there, this time both the end the jets were just watching. -- | :14:12. | :14:23. | |
both they and the jets. On the ground, the firepower was coming | :14:24. | :14:32. | |
from the Kurds. This is the objective, a village on the plane | :14:33. | :14:40. | |
leading to more so. -- Mosul. Kurdish ground forces had advanced | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
beyond their old lines, preparing to move in the village after the | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
bombardment. -- move in on the village. You can see clearly how it | :14:50. | :14:56. | |
works, Americans in the sky providing reconnaissance and | :14:57. | :14:58. | |
possibly are strikes, Kurdish forces on the ground bombarding with tanks | :14:59. | :15:06. | |
and rockets and so on. Despite all that, the ground forces are | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
preparing to move in, it is proving a very hard and costly job. Far-away | :15:13. | :15:20. | |
on the other side of Mosul, Kurdish forces have been pressing for on | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
another front. Pushing on further has been painfully slow. | :15:26. | :15:39. | |
They leave many bombs behind, he said so we have to be very careful. | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
It takes much information and planning to drive them out. Another | :15:46. | :15:53. | |
victim, this Arab village, abandoned and partly demolished by the Kurds, | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
retribution for collaborating with a ceramic state. -- Islamic State. | :15:59. | :16:07. | |
This man's Sun has been detained, suspected of working with the | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
militants. The other side of the coin, thousands of people driven out | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
by the IS radicals, waiting for the day that may never come when they | :16:18. | :16:25. | |
will be able to go home. Back on the front, the Kurds keep up the attack, | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
but the progress they have made it illustrates just how hard it will be | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
to eliminate the militants in the rest of the rock and Syria. | :16:34. | :16:41. | |
It's been an historic day for Ukraine as the European | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
parliament has ratified a controversial association | :16:45. | :16:45. | |
agreement strengthening economic and political ties with the country. | :16:46. | :16:47. | |
The agreement has also been ratified by the Ukrainian parliament in Kiev | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
during a live video link-up between the two parliaments, | :16:51. | :16:52. | |
although the free trade element of the deal won't be implemented | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
In separate measures, Ukraine also granted limited | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
autonomy to its eastern regions and an amnesty to fighters. | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
But while today's development may be seen as a step forward by the | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
government in Kiev, it was marred by disturbing scenes outside the | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
Parliament afterwards as an angry mob grabbed economic development | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
party deputy Vitaly Zhuravsky and manhandled him into a rubbish bin. | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
Zhuravsky, once allied to former President Viktor Yanukovich, | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
authored a bill in January severely tightening restrictions | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
In the past, he authored a bill criminalising libel. | :17:33. | :17:42. | |
As you can see, he was pushed over and held down in the dumpster, | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
after which men poured water on him and threw his briefcase on top. | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
First, David, why is there such anger | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
It has been an historic day for the Ukrainians. There were two major | :17:53. | :18:11. | |
pieces of legislation passed, first the ratification of this Treaty, | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
also the granting of some form of autonomy or limited the tonic to the | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
East, but there was also a vetting bill, and anti-corruption bill, | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
which the crowd gathered around the parliament to demand, and this is | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
where the emotions that we have seen, where they came from. They | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
were very high. The crowd was demanding this bill to be passed, | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
because this was one of the main demands of the revolution. It is not | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
quite clear why the crowd through this one particular politician into | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
the rubbish bin. There are different versions, but it does go to show | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
that it was a very passionate scene out there. They were burning tires, | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
and it shows that in addition to all these other things that were going | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
on, the EU deal, the amnesty and autonomy, the reform and | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
anti-corruption is very much a hot button topic here in Ukraine. We | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
should also talk about what is happening with eastern Ukraine and | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
an element of amnesty for fighters there and self-government, but tell | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
us how significant you find that to be? It is difficult to say. This is | :19:23. | :19:30. | |
a very controversial bill. There was a great outcry, people saying that | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
this perhaps creates a frozen conflict in the east, and so it | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
remains to be seen whether this was one step back or two steps forward, | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
or just the opposite. It should be said that some of the rebels have | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
rejected this deal, because they would rather remade within Ukraine | :19:47. | :19:55. | |
with its limited autonomy. It is only for three years. The fighting | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
continues, and there are great fears among Ukrainian officials that the | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
cease-fire which is already very unstable may eventually break down, | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
and this will all be able to point, and we will see major fighting in | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
the East. Briefly, we can't talk about this without mentioning | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
Russia, and I wonder whether the trade part of the deal was delayed | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
partly because it would provoke Russia greatly. Well, this is one of | :20:24. | :20:31. | |
the controversial points about the deal, is that it brings Russia to | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
the table, and this concession of putting on hold part of the deal | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
until the end of next year, this was seen as being from Russian pressure. | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
Now, the other parts of the deal are being implemented, but the | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
oppression -- the question is what does Russia want, and whether or not | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
this could placate Moscow and contribute to peace in the East or | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
whether we will see further fighting. | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
Now a look at some of the day's other news. | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
One person has been shot dead in a court building in the Danish | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
Police say a suspect has been arrested | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
The head of the City Court said it was probably | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
A suicide bomb attack in the Afghan capital Kabul has killed three | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
members of the NATO-led military forces and injured many others. | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
Police say the explosion targeted an international convoy | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
of soldiers along the airport road near the United States embassy. | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
The Taliban said it carried out the attack. | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
Filipino authorities say the country's most active volcano, | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
Mount Mayon, is dangerously close to erupting again. | :21:37. | :21:47. | |
Some 12,000 people living within an eight-kilometre radius | :21:48. | :21:49. | |
of the crater have been ordered to leave their homes. | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
The volcano has erupted 50 times in the last 500 years, | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
That's how UN agencies have today described the escalation | :21:55. | :22:02. | |
of the ebola crisis in West Africa, which has already killed almost | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
The stark warning comes as the US President Barack Obama prepares | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
to announce a huge increase in his country's commitment to | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
It's understood the United States will send 3000 troops to Liberia who | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
will be responsible for training about 500 healthcare workers a week. | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
And will build 17 medical facilities with at least 100 beds each. | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
50,000 home health care kits will also be sent to households | :22:30. | :22:31. | |
Joining me now from Monrovia in Liberia is Sarah Crowe | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
Thank you for your time. I have seen some of the photographs that you | :22:38. | :22:51. | |
have been putting online, really showing the situation. For example, | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
taxis lined up outside the hospital there. Yes, it is a tragic situation | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
and truly unprecedented. Everywhere you go, you are reminded that Apple | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
is really here. -- a bowler is really here -- ebola is really here. | :23:07. | :23:20. | |
We have been delivering 10,000 hygiene kits to households over the | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
weekend, so there is a huge surge forward now, and Liberians are | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
really... There is a real sense of trepidation, but also a sensible is | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
all to get on with the job at hand, and not to be entirely paralysed by | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
this kind of ebola psychosis. You are seeing a lot of those whose | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
families have been devastated by this. One of the photographs you | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
posted was of a little girl, and what is she doing with that mask on | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
her face? Yes, that was quite striking. This was a centre that was | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
once setup for children who were separated from their parents or lost | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
a parent or a loved one during the war, and it was closed down in 2008. | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
Now it has been reopened. Once it was for the victims of war, now it | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
is for her smack survivors. She was one of the little girls there. -- | :24:16. | :24:23. | |
ebola survivors. Her parents have died, and we are now trying to trace | :24:24. | :24:31. | |
the extended family and put them back together in the extended | :24:32. | :24:40. | |
family. There is great stigma and great discrimination against those | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
who have survived, but that little girl was putting a mask to her face | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
because she said that was what she saw the doctor is doing all the | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
time, so she had taken a little poster and put it up to her face | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
just like a Doctor's mask, and she said that is how she felt she had to | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
approach people now. So even children, throughout wherever I have | :25:05. | :25:22. | |
done, are all aware of what they have to do, washing their hands with | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
chlorine, you might have seen some of those pictures too, having their | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
temperature taken, where ever they go. Of course, there are no schools | :25:33. | :25:40. | |
and no health facilities operating as well as they should be, so our | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
big fear is not only ebola but also the impact to children's health in | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
general, that means deaths from measles, malaria, and other | :25:54. | :25:55. | |
childhood diseases, because children are not being immunised as they | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
should be right now. Just very briefly, you have given us a vivid | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
picture there, are you not frightened for yourself as well? | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
There is a sense of trepidation, but there are also has two B... We can't | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
abandon Liberia, we can't walk away from this awful virus, so we have | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
two bogeys on the job at hand and really get on with supporting | :26:19. | :26:25. | |
communities, supporting households, and re-building the structure here, | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
because it is devastating and it is truly unprecedented, and it really | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
is the sense of them writing the first draft of the history of this | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
disease. There is the need to continue to push forward and focus | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
on what needs to be done right now. Thank you. | :26:43. | :26:50. | |
Temperatures will climb tomorrow morning. But we are also expecting | :26:51. | :27:11. | |
extensive cloud | :27:12. | :27:12. |
