Still to come... Emotions are overflowing in Kochani. Young people took out their anger on a town centre cafe bar.
Emotions are overflowing in Kotchani. Young people took out their anger on a town centre cafe bar. They believed had the same owner as the nightclub where a fire killed 59 people. The government says the barely converted carpet warehouse was operating with a fraudulent license. It only had one exit and the ceiling proved highly flammable when the band on stage lit pyrotechnics.
In fact, justice was the word on thousands of lips in Kotchani. People came for a vigil come protest in the small central park. Many queued to sign a book of condolence. Others simply stood and held up signs articulating what they were feeling. Unbearable and corruption were two of the most prevalent words. That reflects the anger that people feel about the way things work in North Macedonia.
An invitation to the protest said the system didn't provide security, well-being and justice. This man's cousin lost his only child in the fire, a 19-year-old young man. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
The government is aware it needs to move swiftly and decisively to avoid anger spreading across the country. Prime Minister Christian Mitskoski has repeated his warning that there'll be no mercy for anyone found to be responsible for the fire. But there have already been calls for nationwide gatherings and the name of the organising group indicates the mood. Who's next?
This was the moment when a great night out turned into a disaster. Pyrotechnics ignited on stage as part of the performance by the band DNK in Cochini, a small town about 60 miles to the east of North Macedonia's capital, Skopje.
At first they watched as flames crept across the ceiling while staff tried to put out the fire with extinguishers, but the mood swiftly switched to panic as the blaze intensified. Survivors described the chaos as they fought to escape through the only exit.
Here in Koceni, police have sealed off access to the Pulse nightclub. It's behind a green and yellow painted hotel on a roundabout on the outskirts of town, and it's now considered a crime scene. Liupso Kosevski is the public prosecutor.
The government has held an emergency meeting and declared a week of national mourning. It's also calling for an urgent safety inspection of all clubs and music venues.
Well, it's been an enormous crowd. And if you take the official numbers, and by the official numbers, I mean the numbers that have come from the government, they're saying that 107,000 people were at the various locations in Belgrade city centre. Now, you know, if you You take official figures and estimates of organisers, the truth is somewhere in the middle, usually.
We haven't heard from the organisers, we haven't heard from any independent monitors, but 107,000 people in Belgrade is huge by this country's standards. It's certainly the largest protest that I've ever heard of taking place in Serbia. And when you're in the midst of it, It's absolutely staggering. It was quite difficult to make any movement around the city because of it.
They actually had to change the location of the rally from in front of the National Assembly to Slavia Square, which is a much broader location with fewer obstructions, and crucially, none of the counter-protesters who were blocking the park in front of the National Assembly. And, of course, that was always leading to the possibility that there might have been clashes between the protesters.
and the counter-protesters. It's been generally good-humoured, no serious incidents have been reported, but once again people raising their voices and saying that they are unhappy with the way that President Aleksandar Vucic and the government have been responding to these allegations of corruption and cost-cutting which they believe led to the disaster at Novi Sad railway station last November.
It's really difficult to see what the end game to this is, because the students say they're going to carry on protesting until they've had full transparency and accountability with regards to this railway station collapse.
They want to know why 15 people died at a recently renovated facility that was part of the government's flagship infrastructure project, this high-speed railway line from Belgrade to Budapest. Now, President Vucic says the government has already released a lot of the documentation. We've had the resignation of Prime Minister Milos Vucic, plus the mayor of Novi Sad.
The charges being brought against 16 people, including a former minister. He says he believes the students will never be satisfied whatever he does, and he thinks they're being manipulated or taken advantage of by opposition parties who are trying to use what he calls the street to overthrow a legitimately elected government.
The resolution, which was adopted unanimously by all 15 members of the Security Council on Friday, calls for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. It also urged Rwanda and Congo to restart peace talks. In a post on social media, the Congolese government spokesman Patrick Muyaya hailed the resolution as a major diplomatic victory. And he also had this message for Kigali. Get out of our country.
Seit Januar haben die Rebels die Städte von Bukavu und Südkivus, der provinziellen Kapital Goma, in der östlichen Mineralbrücke des Landes, gefangen. Der Konflikt hat Tausende getötet und fast eine Million Zivilisten verletzt, mit vielen fliehenden zu ihren Häusern, insbesondere zu Nachbarländern wie Burundi.
Währenddessen hat das Rwanda-Parlament ein Statement kritisiert, das das Europäische Parlament-Proposal kritisiert. for the EU to suspend the Minerals Agreement and aid to Kigali because of its alleged role in the violence in the Congo. Rwanda condemned the decision as selective outrage against the M23 rebels. It said the move deliberately obscures the ongoing crisis and Rwandas security concerns.
I think we can expect perhaps a divided response to this, because on the one hand Mr Rubiales has been found guilty of sexual assault. But the judge has only given him a fine. He hasn't given him the jail sentence that the prosecutor was calling for, a one-year jail sentence. He has to pay an 11,000 Euro fine.
