. scientists are worried fighting involving rebel groups on the government forces in both the d. r. c. and uganda may hinder their response to the new ebola outbreak. it was important for us to be here to come up with a good strategy against ebola and this will be the epicenter of our response we've taken measures to contain the outbreak and we appeal to the public not to panic we're deploying all necessary medication and resources to treat patients at home there's no need for the patients to be moved isolating the sick is vital to contain any outbreak ebola is carried long distances by bats and then can find its way into bush meat sold in markets people infected by bodily fluids die from hemorrhaging diarrhea and fever the united nations organization stabilization mission in the d.r. c called monusco is now on the ground on fit. what s a tragedy of ic we've
12:04 am

12:05 am
the new outbreak is the tenth one in the d.r. sea since ebola first appeared in one thousand nine hundred six d.r.s. she has also had more than twice as many outbreaks as any other country culture dirge on al-jazeera all right so just a moment ago we were telling you about the warning from the w h o that's the world health organization on a possible new color outbreak in yemen mohamed the dough is monitoring developments but he is joining us from the end. where this new warning off a cholera epidemic and continued air strikes any a man how difficult does all of this make for any sort of aids in health to get into the country. well that is the fear all the community that even while the whole health organization sounding out
12:06 am
and saying they need a three day cease fire to be able to in eight about five hundred house them people in yemen also finding a u.n. humanitarian coordinator in yemen ground to say that. that's not been happening in . an acceptable the loss of lives she said also something painful and that there was need to stop these because he says. in a day that could put the lives of millions of people beyond the confines of the port city because this is an entry point for seven deposit cent of aid coming into yemen eight point four million yemenis do not know where their next meal is coming from and any disruption to the for all of a through the portal but they could be a couple trophic this is what the u.n. organization w.h.o.
12:07 am
un the international red cross want the world to hear. a peace deal or even a cease fire cremains elusive speaking of any sort of peace deal. there is an update that we have on peace talks and we understand that the u.n. envoy to yemen is saying the proposed talks between the warring sides will take place in september in geneva itself how likely is it that they are willing to come to the table and that these things talks well actually happened. well so far that in both the fight is and the government of yemen has been him why did its many people of dol tune what could come out when this so. called nation of not been invited although they will be going to the talks to see what goes on there and again both talks happening a month from now more than
12:08 am
a month from now actually is going to come in too late for people already there are cases of call it are being reported in hospitals in the day that and also last talks that are going to be held in geneva a little of a month from now and not talks about a ceasefire or talks about bringing the war torn and they're about talks about talks which means you know breaking the ice and building confidence and just. you know sort of. asking the parties in the conflict to stop talking so nothing tangible according to diplomats would would would come from the first days of the talks ok i'm home of the dough the update from djibouti thanks to you now in the democratic republic of congo the election isn't due for another five months but it's already contentious and the former rebel leaders is back on the

he's the rest so a lot of concern that ben but also did talk about opposition unity he say that yes he launched his paper yesterday to the electoral commission but he's also open to opposition if he's open to talking to other opposition leaders to back one candidate we have to be united because as you know we have just one run of the election and if we want to win and bring new change for the mental challenge in congo we need to be one white one because if we split there are many candidates if we reduce our chance for one candidate to have the majority in the first one so we don't have today the looks are we to be many so i plead for everybody to be one united when i. have one candidate and what can you tell us about the other opposition leader not being allowed to enter the country.
12:11 am
well the government basically said that and you know we got a statement from other government spokesperson saying that morning that he had not used the right procedure to get into the country and that's why he's been blocked the government saying that he just wants to cause trouble and they you know he has a pending sentence the sentence. back in two thousand and fifteen will probably do what the government is that even he does coming come in and he has to do his sentence and the prosecutor has to deal with has to deal with him and that then the noise got to be in felt then that all this is politically instigate that he that he just wants to come in and come to the capital kinshasa to paper so that he can participate in the gent in the presidential election and act candidate he. went lead into exile back in two thousand and a thick enough that they fell out with presidential the ability of

12:19 am
a message to the opposition leader nelson chamisa in which he said you have a crucial role to play in zimbabwe's future also he did condemn the violence of the last few days saying that the violent actions off a few must not detract from the democratic expression off many that was a message being sent out by the president of zimbabwe speaking live right now in harare will return to a story we brought you earlier on the newsgroup and there is a new ebola outbreak in the democratic republic of congo which is thought to have already killed several people it's happening in and around an eastern conflict zone making it harder to contain just last week an outbreak on the other side of the country was declared over after killing thirty three people we will speak to the world health organization spokesman tarik yes
12:20 am
a rivet she's joining us from geneva thank you very much for your time how confident are you that the w.h.o. can get on top of this ebola outbreak. well we will surely try our best to be quick and to implement those containment measures that we were able to put in place in equatorial province in the outbreak that was declared over just last week but as you rightly pointed out this is a completely different context in despite of the country it's an area. that's of instability and insecurity and debt. and could be a major constraint you know you know well movements just to remind you the main a really clear work of containing a bell i used to have it at the dummy a logical investigation trying to trace where a virus may have gone who exactly may have been infected finding people who should
12:21 am
be monitored and sometimes these people kept it in different villages around the epicenter and we still don't know how much we will be able to go to different villages and what kind of security measures we will need to be taking so why has it made a comeback and how much of a risk does this particular outbreak pose. well every ball outbreak is a concern because it's a very deadly disease it can kill up more than a half of people who get infected and this is then ebola outbreak or c. recount unfortunately eradicated ball a virus it is harbored we didn't specific species of bats or fruit bats and then as long as fruit bats exist in fairest of the our congo there will inevitably be a conflict between human humans and animal world and we will have an ebola cases now what we need to do is to be ready to have to have a strong house systems that can quickly detect and respond to such outbreak
12:22 am
leadership that has been shown by the national health authorities in the last outbreak gives us hope that that we will be able to to move in quickly and do all those things we need to do basically to treat people who are sick to look for people who may be infected to have a laboratory capacity to work with health workers on infection professional control measures record of population and see if if vaccination would also be a tool to use speaking of vaccination but let me just turn to another very important topic and that is what's happening in yemen and what the world health organization is saying that there could be another color outbreak in the country and what you're doing is you're calling for a three day immediate cease fire in order to be able to vaccinate people can you tell us what kind of response you have gotten from the warring parties for your call for a cease fire. well rightly as you said we hope to stop that real kind of oxy nation tomorrow and we plan to vaccinate more than five hundred
12:23 am
thousand people in free districts two districts in idaho day dot gov eight and one district and even governor eight districts that have been heavily affected by a cholera outbreak in the past we have more than two thousand health workers ready trained and equipped to do this but we really need a safety we need to be sure that these people can do their job in security have you had to go into the car said well look at that the negotiations are done by the united nations humanitarian coordinator and we hope that by tomorrow we will be able to start a vaccination because you remember cholera already claimed and more and more than two thousand lives seen since two thousand and seventeen that there were more than one million suspect cholera cases since the second wave of cholera in two thousand and seventeen and we are seeing signs that we have mers people being infected in
12:24 am
certain districts and we are afraid that we may go into third wave of cholera and he says. this is why we are trying really to stop vaccinating indows distance and it is the first time we were doing it in the northern part of of the country so hopefully we will be able to to start here and may be done expanded to at a distance in a future ok we thank you very much for giving us an update from geneva. an investigation has been ordered in japan into a scandal involving women's medical school and three exams our social media producer sara horowitz is on the story and there's an l cry about this especially online what's going on some of those topics those got a lot of people talking but take care medical university has been accused of lowering women's entry results since twenty ten says to keep the number of female students below thirty percent now japan's biggest daily newspaper got the scoop on this and a source within the university told it was a sign an understanding to keep women's numbers down but was the reason well it's
12:25 am
a perception that female doctors often resign or need extended leave after getting married and starting families and that's causing shortages in hospitals now education education minister. is among those who's been disgusted by it ignores your voice of its entrance exams that unfairly discriminate against women are absolutely not acceptable i will wait to hear a report from tokyo medical university upon taking this series measurement and this here is the gender equality minister saeco no to who describes as extremely serious and on acceptable but the criticism doesn't just end there because it sorts of us is pretty much in unison as well and this person sees it i can't believe this it makes me so sad to find out that these things are still happening in the place i grew up i would share for and support every girl's dream now another person to eat it whoever decided to do this must have never worried about balancing work and asks
12:26 am
who do you think did all your choice so that you can just worry about work and do nothing and a strong response pair as well where this person calls it forward saying if you're going solo women's test scores you have to say so in the beginning that we once applied to such university and calls it a waste of an application fee adding that they should repay female applicants. now according to recent data from the organization for economic cooperation and development women make up less than a quarter of doctors in japan and that's the lowest figure among the thirty four o.e.c.d. country studies and if you have a look there are a lot of fear right at the top is that seventy four point three percent but if i'm go all the way down there you go and there is japan just twenty eight point three percent not give you a good idea but now there are legitimate options as well for universities to control the agenda quotas in fact where a male and female can get identical store scores the school is allowed to choose
12:27 am
the male above the female the female doctors have raised concerns over this discriminatory practices say they're happy to finally find that it's being investigated but what it's like for females trying to study medicine in other places we want you to get in touch and tell us how it's like for you in your country. so i think you'll come back to you in just a moment because there are warnings that donald trump's attacks on the media may lead to real violence against journalists the u.n. reports were for freedom of expression david kay issued a joint statement with edison lanza who holds the same post with the interim eric and commission on human rights and here's some of what it said trump's attacks are strategic designed to undermine confidence in reporting and raise doubts about verifiable facts we are especially concerned that these attacks increase the risk of journalists being targeted with violence and sarah trump's treatment of the
12:28 am
media has been at the center of another heated back and forth during a white house press briefing yanna it's again being shown online but interestingly it began over a clip i'm about to show you where donald trump's daughter an advisor. was authored she shares her father's view on the media remember him our colleagues you're on the press you think that we're the envy of the people. sorry you think that. you know you people know i do know. here in europe are you looking for me to elaborate and. no i don't. i mean i certainly i certainly have. i can share my own personal perspective i've i've. certainly received my fair share of. the porting on me personally that i know not to be fully accurate so i was you know
12:29 am
had some i have some sensitivity around. why people. have concerns and gripe especially when they are sort of feel targeted but no i do not feel that the media is the enemy of the people well fan i reporter jim acosta is a regular targets of president trump took up the issue with white house press secretary sarah huckabee saunders following it on because comments he just saw there and things quickly became very heated. i think it would be a good thing if you were to say right here at this briefing that the press the people who are gathered in this room right now doing their jobs every day asking questions of visuals like the ones you brought forward earlier are not the enemy of the people it's ironic jim that not only you and the media attacked the president for his rhetoric when they frequently lower the level of conversation in this
12:30 am
country repeatedly repeatedly the media resorts to personal attacks without any content other than to incite anger the media has attacked me personally on a number of occasions including your own network said i should be harassed as a life sentence that i should be choked ice officials are not welcome in their place of worship and personal information is shared on the internet when i was hosted by the correspondents' association which almost all of you are members of you brought a comedian up to attack my appearance and call me a traitor to my own gender in fact as i know i'm this far as i know i'm the first press secretary in the history of the united states that's required secret service protection and the media continues to actuate up their verbal assault against the president and everyone in this administration and certainly we have a role to play but the media has a role to play for the discourse in this country as well and you did not say in the course of those remarks that you just made that the press is not the enemy of the people for the sake of this this room the people who are in this room this
12:31 am
democracy this country all the people around the world are watching what you're saying sarah and the white house for the united states of america the part of the united states should not refer to us as the enemy of the people his own daughter acknowledges that all i'm asking you to do sir is to add dollars that right now and right here i appreciate your passion i share it i've addressed this question i've addressed my personal feelings i'm here to speak on behalf of the president he's made his comments clear. so they have a price. secretary you for refused to just be the president's remarks and flipped around accusing the media of being unfair to the administration but acosta walked out and what he has tweeted a certain piece straight off to that was the was saddened by what happened describing saunas response a shameful and donald trump's hads run ins with c.n.n. before it's not the first time including one that was just last month during a news conference in london when he spoke alongside the british prime minister
12:32 am
teresa may. john roberts go no no john roberts. see it is fake news that has taken her and i take my things from c.n.n. c.n.n. is they could use i don't take questions from john roberts of fox that's got a real let's go to a real network but we're real networks you sir thank you mr president. that was fox news john if you just sort of the end of that video that and that was john roberts now he was criticized by media colleagues you know having defended cnn's acosta but he released this statement saying he used to work for c.n.n. and for trying to call it fake news is on fire during all right sara thank you for that let's just show you what's happening in harare the scene right now president emerson he is still speaking in the capitol speaking to the people of his country after the election results were announced so we're keeping an eye out on anything that he has to say we'll bring it to you right here on the newsgroup for
12:33 am
now it's over to jonah hope you can see jonah he's joining us from london with more of the international news i don't know either in thanks for that well we begin afghanistan where at least twenty five people have been killed in an attack on a shia mosque people police say two suicide bombers targeted worse appears during friday prayers in gardez that south of the capital kabul they opened fire inside the mosque before blowing themselves up more than eighty other people were injured from the palace has more now from kabul. prison guard has come out he issued a statement he very rarely does that after bombings and attacks but this time with it being a shia mosque he has come out condemning the attack saying afghanistan will not be divided sunni shia we stand together and we're unified against attacks of this nature taliban who say this is not their work is to speak to they have targeted she many times especially over the last year there were two attacks here in kabul in
12:34 am
march thirty nine people suicide attacks last year there were four quite significant attacks all in kabul suicide attacks and more than one hundred people died in. isotope responsibility parliamentary and district elections are coming up on october twentieth security is a big issue the presidential elections are announced for april next year and it is only everyone's mind not just day to day attacks we've had a couple of attacks on civilians and. its operations there and there she quite a few attacks between the taliban and i so this so this is attacks across the country and civilians really taking the hit and being in the crossfire on those attacks in recent months and of course. is really concerned about the setting up to the elections to the point that he seemed in the national army to. take a city to take control from the police to train sure up security the civilians. in
12:35 am
the united states have agreed to work to resolve issues that are causing tension between the two countries or minister move route travel solo and secretary of state . on the sidelines of the summit in singapore travel solo describe the meeting as chord structure of the u.s. imposed sanctions on two turkish government ministers in protest of the detention of a u.s. pastor accused of terrorism turkey had said the sanctions are unacceptable. the leader. that we have said from the start that the other side's threatening language and sanctions will not get any result we repeated this today. might pump a a we discussed how to solve issues how to take steps together it was an extremely constructive meeting there may be tensions and differences of opinion between countries but turkey always wishes to solve problems through the policy and dialogue mutual understanding and agreements the syrian government has been accused
12:36 am
of faking the cause of death of thousands of prisoners and a report published by two human rights groups the syrian foundation's platform on the human rights and justice movement presented their findings in istanbul according to the syrian government eight thousand prisoners died from heart attacks or cancer or other health causes in the past week alone the groups condemn what they call fake death reports. while i am talking there are thousands of people being tortured without food and without medical care and ourselves prisons the regime tells the family that their relatives have died just to close this chapter of detention this is very dangerous and this is the reason why we came here today to tell the world that thousands of women children all die and young people are still detained and tortured and lost their lives because of their opinion and political activity while the world keeps silent. so it's all from london for the moment back now to sorrow. thanks joy and enough hours of
12:37 am
students have taken to the streets of the bangladeshi capital dhaka to demand better road safety it's been five days since to shoot and kill by is speeding bus on sunday and protests have been going on since they've brought the city to a standstill in fact the students have been chanting we want justice and checking people's driver's licenses as well as blocky main junctions and social media has been at the forefront of mobilizing this mass protest. incredibly there are groups of fifteen and sixteen year old boys and girls we've been checking car registrations driver's licenses and controlling traffic flow it's got a number of ministers and police officers who are violating traffic laws they have to stop and apologize to the students all of this was captured on video and shared why do you in social media the young people here have been frustrated in the inability of the governments trying to take basic functions of the state and just demonstrated that it is sponsor them to do that if the will is there the urban
12:38 am
youth here are connected to the internet it is making it easier for them to organize protests now many videos and pictures are also being shed and the hashtag of us being used is road safety or what you heard it which is we want justice but this video went viral and it shows how an eighteen year old tried to stop a truck the one point the driver drove straight towards him. and last year more than four thousand two hundred pedestrians were killed in road accidents in bangladesh and there are lots of called scenes that are also being said that criticize what they call a corrupt and dangerous transport system and if you have a look at this one has just one of the examples it shows a policeman taking a bribe from a truck driver and right behind him is one of those student protesters he's actually checking the license and being a citizen nor enforce a for the truck driver it just gives you an idea of what's going on and the situation and how the shootings don't seem to be moving out of the streets any time soon either. a lot of the words of chalk to leak and they are with the hill both
12:39 am
with the help of couple moved in we were there started to beat those student this started beating those students have been started to fire just adores them and lucky lead the world to no one was killed but several one injured and and now there's the do the most you do is really dance and the situation of benefit is not done good so it we had pain go in several days and the situation will get even worse. as any of the stories that resonate with gets in touch us with. great sara thank you welfare as here in just a moment with a topic you won't want to les paul yes it's a legitimate sport in fact the world cup kicks off later in new york city is madison square garden details coming up in a moment. time
12:41 am
to get a sports update here's farah thank you so much terry now when i say dodgeball most people not everybody but most people think of this. yes that is the two thousand and four ben stiller hit movie dodgeball a true under dog story but you know why dodgeball is actually an egypt sport it's been recognized as an official sports and twenty seventeen it traces its origins
12:42 am
back to the eighteen hundreds in japan now i like most north americans play dodgeball in school but for many people around the world this movie has been their only ever introduction to the game. right it is a serious sport in fact the first ever dodgeball world cup was held in manchester in two thousand and sixteen the second is about to take off in new york city's iconic madison square garden in front of a sold out crowd so let me hit you with some basic dodgeball rules now it's a team sport there are six players on each side but it can be played with a minimum of four on either side and it's the best two out of three the object of the game is to eliminate players on the opposing team by hitting them with a ball and despite what you've seen in the ben stiller movie the ball is only allowed to hit players of below the shoulders and not in the head dodgeball had been typically played among children ages six to ten but it's grown so much in popularity various leagues are played around the world now earlier i had
12:43 am
a chance to speak to the president of the world dodgeball association tom hicks and he told me how not only the movie but social media has helped to grow the game he also talked about dodgeball is long term ambitions. obviously we are growing a small studies becoming much more serious in the sense that we have sixty two national federations nova sixty seven point five million people. they don't fall in weekly competition on a local grassroots level all national or international competition at a high performance level well we say welcome in body we embrace the moves yes obviously that is how it suits a sickness come through it raise the profile of this bolt and also obviously games that we played in in school or in various different educational departments they help also to develop the skills and necessary parts with an dodgeball it's grown
12:44 am
significantly we when we start to the well don't quote so say sure back in october two thousand and thirteen we brought together thirty five countries across three continents which was the americas the asia pacific the europe every chimps and since then in a very short period of time in just over four to half years grow to sixty national federations across six continents and this really seems such a drive. i guess. huge level of encouraging when it comes to trying to a stop place the sport new territories awfully one of the key areas that we're focused on with all the developments within the middle east with a new tathagata all federation that's all on the horizon. so should be just played a huge role in the sense that people are getting to see more of what the sport is
12:45 am
a huge amount of content. has been driven to wants to increase and sustain the pot special because within the sports already embedded within the olympic movement program how one of our objects within days. complete international recognition yes under the law that so much for a should be included within the olympic paralympics only games programme by twenty twenty or twenty city to cycle now to another sports story getting a lot of attention on social media today this was andy murray crying after winning his match at the washington open he came back from sat down to be hopeful in a match that finished at three am local time murray has been on the comeback trail after hip surgery there's been a lot of dark moments for the former world number one he said before this tournament that he was virtually starting his career over again. now as always we'd
