Unions say the true figure is closer to one-point-six million, and are demanding higher wages, pension increases and action on the cost of living. <br />

The Interior Ministry deployed seventy thousand police officers backed by armoured vehicles, helicopters and drones to contain demonstrations at more than two hundred and sixty locations. <br />

		<description><![CDATA[US First Lady Melania Trump is calling for the temporary ceasefire in the Ukrainian city of Oleshky to become a starting point for lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine. Speaking at the White House, where she hosted Russian and Ukrainian representatives, Trump said the six-day truce showed what cooperation between the two sides could achieve. The ceasefire, which ran from October 27 to November 1, allowed humanitarian supplies to reach the Russian-occupied city in the Kherson region and enabled nearly 800 people to evacuate. Trump says the protection of civilians must rise above the divisions of war. <a href="https://futuremedianews.com.na/podcasts/">Future Media News Podcasts Webpage</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley has warned of a growing humanitarian crisis in Cuba, saying the country's immediate needs must take priority over political change. Mottley says access to food, energy, shelter and healthcare must first be secured to protect ordinary Cubans from worsening living conditions. She argues that political discussions cannot be separated from the humanitarian situation facing the population. The Barbadian leader also expressed hope that the outcome of the recent US midterm elections, which she described as a vote for the people, could have wider implications for US policy towards Cuba and the region. <a href="https://futuremedianews.com.na/podcasts/">Future Media News Podcasts Webpage</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Build One South Africa says the electorate was understandably cautious about placing its trust in a party without an established local government track record. The party contesting its first-ever local government elections will have elected representation in all four metropolitan municipalities in which it contested: Johannesburg, Tshwane, Cape Town and Ekurhuleni. BOSA leader Mmusi Maimane says they will approach the post-election period constructively, and where coalition arrangements are necessary, they will be prepared to engage with other parties in the interests of residents. <a href="https://futuremedianews.com.na/podcasts/">Future Media News Podcasts Webpage</a>]]></description>
