stayed in it and will stay in it and i deeply wish to iran will too it is up to us to work to convince everyone and iran to stay in it the e.u.'s foreign policy chief was one of the deals main negotiators it's a matter of security for us and for the entire world the european union investment in nonproliferation continues to be a top priority for us so far we have first see an iran fully compliant with all its nuclear related commitments frustration is growing among leaders would be caught between the u.s. and iran as tensions on both sides mount before the summit the e.u. rejected an ultimatum from tehran giving european powers sixty days to come up with a plan to shield iran's economy from the impact of u.s. sanctions in a statement they said we strongly urge iran to continue to implement its commitments under the j c p o a in full as it is done until now and to refrain from any escalatory steps we reject all ultimatums the statement also criticized the

u.s. for imposing sanctions on iran and pulling out of the deal one year ago european powers have been battling to save the twenty fifteen deal they want a payment system which allows for some trade between iran and the european union to so far is limited to only humanitarian items things like medicine and food and it's failed to persuade multinationals to resume trade with iran and risk u.s. penalties so unless e.u. leaders come up with some new solutions some say that tehran might decide that the deal is simply not worth saving. europe needs to do is first approach the remaining . participants russia and china and urge them to take steps commensurate with what europe is doing but also they need to to find solidarity with elements in the united states who can push back on this new conservatism that is hell bent on you know seeing this deal fail and potentially making war more possible for all his

defense ministers said that if iran breaks the deal the e.u. could impose sanctions european powers could be gambling on iran not want to risk more damage to their economy or lose strategic allies as the stakes are raised on all sides the future the twenty fifteen a cool it looks increasingly fragile. al-jazeera paris. still ahead here around zero living in danger more and what some nigerians are doing to protect their communities. how the crisis in venezuela is putting transplant patients at risk. and i would you like to see the development of a rain system just coming out of africa now you see the cloud forming and then for

attacked several times. in the towns we've been huge sums of money as one saying we can't pay any more they said to kill but life would be easier with the rebel soldiers. tired of running some of the villagers are now helping the security forces with information and the question when and what and i lost nearly everything family friends and money i joined to protect what's left. but despite the presence of the army and hundreds of volunteer vigilantes like. the bandits continue to kill and maim. unfortunate trend. sometimes even multiple attacks in a day we have about eight men major cams and about thirty six man or cams you know all over the state are taken over by tens how than or more than deeds presently and it's not only the number of armed gangs that's of concern there now went into the use of sophisticates

a free health care system that expanded during the government of which i have this . but with a drop in oil prices and a failed economic policy the system has collapsed so. if a state can't guarantee the life of all these children then it can't guarantee the life of the country the system was already failing before the u.s. sanctions they suspended the transplant program a year ago but full scale sanctions. were imposed in january this year from now on u.s. policy is certainly going to have a huge impact on people's lives. the government officials say is a victim of donald trump's foreign policy. so anxious trouble us very much because most companies do not want to risk angering the united states the world is a globalized economy and the company has links with the united states and what we're seeing is that there are many companies who simply do not want to deal with

headlines here on al-jazeera got more news coming up right after stream but not. as u.s. sanctions are levied against iran we'll ask one to mark this one on iraq's relations with its key trading. partner. against. iraq's deputy prime minister and will minister. analogy sirrah. personal the devastating death toll and the heartbreaking impact on families left behind these images back here from a bowler stricken communities in the eastern democratic republic of congo and they highlight an outbreak that has now claimed more than a thousand lives ok. we'll look at the impact of a persistent epidemic that is receiving only limited worldwide attention and ask what is needed to end it so your thoughts are twitter and you tube.

the above the outbreak in the eastern democratic republic of congo is in its tenth month and it's now the second deadliest on record local and international health organizations are battling to contain the virus while providing lifesaving help to those with a disease which is usually fatal if untreated me has more. the virus is sweeping some of the most densely populated regions of d.r. congo and recorded cases from the current outbreak are now well above fifteen hundred the virus is prevalent in the eastern provinces of north kivu and to many two regions that border uganda even before the outbreak millions of people lived with the threat of violence by ugandan rebels rwandan hutu fighters and local my my militia groups health workers are also frequently targeted on wednesday at least nine people were killed when my my fighters try to assault in a bowl

a treatment center in the north kivu city of tombo but came just. days after an epidemiologist with the world health organization was killed in an attack in the same city now there are fears that many people fleeing violence may have crossed into neighboring uganda illegally risking the virus spreading undetected beyond our congo's borders in a race against time the w.h.o. says it is expanding its vaccination program and it effort to stop a new wave of cases. so for more on this we are joined by nicole for sina she is regional a boat operations coordinator at the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies she's in nairobi head and runs well is a reporter for the statues covering infectious diseases and public health she's in boston dr emery pay is clinically epidemic response and vaccination and mess out here she's in paris and from goma in eastern congo we have dr. he's incident

manager for a bowler at the world health organization hello everybody it's great to have this this brain trust here this think tank of expertise we have been trying to talk about the current outbreak for quite some time reading about it we're not less than seeing it on international media and on t.v. so why should we stop this conversation with skepticism because there's a lot of it online so this is just one tweet out of several that we got that sounded like this is a whole lobby on twitter who says bola seems like a lab culture disseminated for evil to these nations i really don't believe it's a natural disease that just occurred out of the blue dr michelle i'm going to direct this one to you do you are you familiar with this intimate do you get this among those you treat and if so how do you even go about treating a disease when you have to deal with this first. thank you mom much is utterly

deadly this is sometimes difficult for people to believe that. an utterly it's one of the challenge that we are facing in this case is that they are sea region where they never asked variance in the past so people believe that at least some somebody out there violence and if one are truly of the fight you have to fight for us they believe and sure that it will i described in fortunately people start to be allies they went and saw a flash round them and they have to realize that the reality of it is this. to fight people are you really need from this community. knowledge that is is also making sure that there are absolutely part of the response they see a challenge that we are facing now is then the us. i'm just thinking if i could add

on that that peacenik ok place so community engagement is at the forefront of our response and i think it's really important because tunis indeed men can mean many different things so community agent is much more than just informing a community but it's also listening to a community so by going door to door and hearing what a community is saying and understanding their fears and understanding their concerns with the opponent outbreak is a really critical piece and this is that in the last piece of in communication where you actively involve the community and never sponsor so by using to answer this tweet a perfect example would be using an impala survivor to go back into their community and explain that a is a real disease and people do need to seek treatment there is a very important reason nicole if if you are out in people's fears what are they telling you as you are going into communities and what are you scared about what

are they saying they're scared about. so this is a great question and. you know we're hearing lots of different feedback come from our feedback system so this is where we're actually going out to the communities either door by door hearing and feedback through community leaders or religious leaders and we're hearing exactly they've seen oh there's concerns that a ball is something that's coming from the outside community it's not something that's coming from the community themselves and we can understand if for example if you see house worker show up in full personal protective equipment which is the sole white suit taking away your loved one you are going to have concerns and you may have resistance and this may create a level of mistrust and so it's by understanding this that we really have to go back to the community and explain why this approach is so important and. that's just an example yeah. yeah you know that as well but that

additionally i think. it's important to listen to the communities and also to acknowledge that this is a population in an area that has really been as well as felt neglected from a health perspective for a really long time and again absolutely seeing a massive deployment of resources for a disease that no one has heard of before is understandably terrifying but also confusing and also likely to inspire mistrust if the community feels that there are other longstanding help me tab and been addressed and so i think it's also important to look at how resources from the response can be integrated into the existing health care system to make it stronger both to respond to this epidemic but also to be able to respond to a future epidemics and or other at breaks of an axis diseases they could happen in the future yeah maria i want to give people an example of what could be seen as super super scary and shocking but you just a moment this is

a health worker who's in a rubber suit carrying a baby who's believed to have contracted a boa and just that turning up in your neighborhood that that person that health worker that you don't scary michelle what are you going to say. it's looking. a tall man by somebody wearing this. kind of protective equipment might. cause. that kind of light i would rather i would not. try to make sure we have. to apologise and. try to make it friendly as possible for example.

somebody about from. friendly help to where they. have to. explain what they are doing so we tried to two story condo for human face behind this protective equipment. for have some trust. measure. and of course if i think trust is not always there and that is indicated here just one of the articles and of course we mentioned it at the very top of the show but the a.p. reports not too long the one hundred and one thousand attacks have been recorded since january forty two of them directed at health facilities and eighty five house workers affected being killed or wounded in that and so our community response to this is t.j. he says this is affected to the extent that some of the house care teams are afraid

to show up at various centers to treat all the patients which has led to the increase of deaths among patients dr henry i want to get this one to you talk to us about that fear and what it is that health workers are facing. well i mean there are legitimate security concerns obviously with numbers like that a number of facilities that have been attacked a number of health workers that have been targeted by violence as part of this response both within health care structures and outside and my colleagues on this panel are well aware of that and we had a mishap are also aware two of the facilities that we were supporting were attacked in late february. i think though that again getting getting back to community engagement and community integration the violence. needs to be addressed and certainly security measures that are being put in place are understandable as health care workers need to be protected when they're doing their jobs while and i think needs to be looked at as as

a symptom. of some of the deeper issues that underlie the context in this area. both that predate and and extend into this response and the security measures while understandable are a bit like treating a heart attack with morphine security measures are necessary to to alleviate the discomfort and the pain and to allow the work to get done and there certainly necessary and certainly essential for people to be able to do their job but it doesn't entirely address why that violence is happening in the first place and we're not likely to get to the bottom of years of conflict in problems and all of the layers of that conflict in time to to unravel it and. address this response but certainly i think that violence seems to be seen as a symptom and addressed as a symptom rather than a problem in and of itself i guess i just want to play this clip that she stuck to that and. last month doctors went to

a rally in north kiva because they will wait about their safety have a listen to this doctor what he was concerned about. it is an outrage that no one knows the doctors and nurses are being beaten here i can even inform you that the entire night yesterday in the health zone of for example doctors and nurses have not spent the night in their homes because they are being threatened and intimidated if we march today it is to ask the local and national authority to provide security for health workers we're not here to kill but to heal. michelle and i can help now says what you're wearing a flak jacket so when you are trying to treat this second biggest outbreak of a boat that we've know what are you having to do in terms of your own security as you're trying to treat local communities. for hosts this.

is part of our duty as first medical doctor but also once have forgotten vision to ensure that people in need of treatment receive it so if i were first motivation we lost a colleague few days a few weeks ago and the team of course were totally shocked but we quickly to convince because we say we have not the right to live this virus within this population that's by the difficulty that five. men appears out of balance out jolly disrupt their response and it's fine with having valas it takes you days even weeks to recover while the friend of the disease is increasing and it's putting his band. numbering provinces the countries hirees. our motivation we try also to ensure and discuss with all the difference they

called us in this case with un peacekeeping force a national holiday or it is to disagree on the area in december we were event a bookit thing for all. but also for the population in the group attacking the population and i think it's also part of our responsibility in the population. because it's not only about the boiler but it's far as is from the right to live in the area. so we've got a question just now on you tube from someone and the media attorneys and they ask what's the most challenging part of treating this bill outbreak in the region and underneath their question there you can see a couple of people mention an experimental vaccine that is now being used widely for the first time. and helen i'll go to you with this because on this question on what's being dion this experimental vaccine is something that you've actually

researched yeah i've been writing about it for years actually it's it was developed in canada at the national like a biology lab there and has been taken up by merck which is bella playing it and trying to push it through licensure but was in the united states and through the european medicine can see. right now it's still experimental but it was used at the end of the west african outbreak in twenty fourteen twenty sixteen. didn't face three clinical trial there and found that it was highly effective and has been used since the start of this outbreak and probably. it hasn't been able to extinguishing oberg obviously but i think there's little doubt that. if it hadn't been used the numbers of cases would beasts substantially higher than they are now. how to how does it work hen. where only exposes it's

a it's. it exposes essentially immune system to a protein that's on the outside of the a bowl of virus and a ball itself but it trains the immune system to see that recognise it so if it becomes exposed to. anybody start to develop really really rapidly and in fact it is a vaccine that works quite quickly it was simply designed to be an outbreak vaccine so they say that within about ten days one dose should get you to protection wow is it licensed and here's what i found fascinating about the last big outbreak is the . two years that it takes to check if a medication what's the vaccine what there was no time for that it's like let's just try this now so it is a nice sensed you know it's in the process of getting license for the problem with

an any kind of a therapy for a boat is that you can only test it when there's a number of cat when he's on the ball or outbreak there is generally so much chaos and so much stress put on the work force that running clinical trials is really difficult so i take it even though i think our lives are still this that's in. not my source yes it's been so and to be quite effective i think it's one of big events on among all of us not. to compete we have done a one hundred twelve thousand people doctors been vaccinated i'm from the great minority doctor it's looked to be quite effective and i jolly i worry now it's not so we've got no bob abscess to a people up there is that that need this vaccine to be protected at least to limit it to reduce the transmission and maybe overcome this hour break that's amazing i mean that's ahead and that should be headline news right now and we what we going

to say i had no i'm just i just wanted to clarify that it was not necessarily a question of oh let's just try and be. because we have had the bolero break now i mean whether vaccine that that had safety data and small safety trials and clinical trials before the end of the west africa break and then during that outbreak there was a three clinical trial that was done so that showed effectiveness and i think as dr michelle has pointed out that with the number of people who've been vaccinated to date i think that the evidence that we have with the vaccine that show that the fact of the present i think is the i think that has been. incredibly positive development in terms of the fight against people and i think it probably has saved . a number of cases a huge number of cases from actually being part of this outbreak as well and we have a little bit some fear i want to bring this up because there's still some fear among members of our community about what might still happen so this is israel which is tweeted and what measures have to w.h.o.

put in place to make sure that the able the virus doesn't spread to neighboring countries i'm in zambia and that makes me worry talk of this one to you dr michelle because of course that's neighboring to darcy what would you say to israel. while responded to because frankly we have the neighboring countries. some of them health workers are already connected. to capacity to two diff that's also through the. routing side of the ball the. money it's almost a progress of this program that's in neighboring countries. also it may cause them for information surely if we have contact people about the been in contact.

to travel or try. to come. we circled also this sturgeon it can use them between different ministries of these countries so we cannot avoid this where are you so we try to make sure that if the virus and. appropriate. measures. and this is where i think we also can't forget the role of community engagement so what we've learned from west africa. breaking west africa all that and what we're learning now from deer see that's what we need to be adapting into our approach in as part of this containment strategy and in the preparedness countries i'll give you an example our data shows that at the beginning of the response in india or see an alert for our safe and dignified burial which is a process that you use to bury the body of the dead so of course the ball is most

contagious at the end of someone's life and it's it's important to bury the dead in a way that's also culturally sensitive so these alerts that were coming from the community they were quite close to twenty nine percent and now we see that after community engagement and involving the communities in the response eighty one percent of the alerts are coming from the community and this is exactly how we should be engaging them because i wish to use the perch we should take in the neighboring countries i learned from that and they called us that's a picture back which is it's really alarming and i want to tell people what it is so that they understand what's happening this is a room where there's a burial taking place and then the actual room is being disinfected it's actually being sprayed that if you're looking up that is what that means. there are people who recover from a boa and the survivors are also helping with the education process so before we go i want you to meet janine i'm a seeker and you can also hear how easy it is to spread about from one person to

another person have a listen to his story. if you want to let me read you one. bullet claimed ten of my family members we did not know from the onset about ebola and thought it was just regular illness and flu my uncle became sick first and then my parents went to look after him then he died our parents in turn unknowingly came back in fact did then became sick and in our bid to try to treat and care for them got infected they died and in the end we lost ten people whilst infecting each other and four of us survived. and just to update you janine is now taking care of children who have lost their parents teach. the way forward is picking up on something that was mentioned earlier by the coal miner here on twitter says dialogue and trust building it's necessary communities need to be our spokespeople they should be made to advocate for the ebola virus disease vaccinations and address the violent

hysteria of certain factions involved faith based groups they confront the negotiations this madness has to stop dr anne marie what do you make of men as common. i think it's cracked but i think that's exactly what all of the actors that are currently involved in the operator are trying hard to do right now and that is to make those relationships with faith based organizations with civil society groups with different. places of the population within the communities women. taxi drivers all of the different groups that one could imagine to get the opinion. of the community as to what the next step should be what their fears are what their disbeliefs are what rumors are circulating how to address those rumors and also what the needs are of the population outside to be able to see if there's a way that the response can integrate a little bit better into addressing some of the longstanding needs of the community

going to happen i did get last night a very beautiful letter from president xi let's work together let's see if we can get something. but they renegotiated the deal i mean they took whether it's intellectual property theft they took many many parts of that deal and they renegotiated you can't do that. and i'm different than a lot of people i happen to think that tariffs for a country are very powerful you know with a piggy bank that everybody steals from including china well as it was continued in washington the top negotiator for the chinese side said a tariff hike doesn't serve the interests of either nation or. i've come here in good faith given the current particular circumstances i want to reasonably and frankly exchange opinions with the u.s. side but china believes given the current circumstances adding further tariffs is not a good way to solve any problems it's not favorable for china nor is it favorable

for the us nor is it favorable for the world so our way out of this whole thing is a principled solution to realistic problems which finally points in the direction of the only result of cooperation. and not a dream brown in beijing and the deadline has passed the terrace to come into effect what's been the reaction. yes the deadline passed just over an hour ago but to sort of cushion the blow the united states is saying that everything that was exported to the united states from china just before midnight will not be subject to these new tariffs but i think it's fair to say nick that the chinese government privately is very worried because this is all happening at a time when china's economy is continuing to slow manufacturing output is continuing to contract chinese people know that in many ways the really boom days

are over china has said in the past few days it is prepared to take countermeasures against the united states but so far has not specified exactly what those countermeasures would be but i think you know it could make life very difficult for u.s. companies operating here in china it could delay for instance the issuing of new licenses that u.s. firms need to operate in this country it could delay custom clearances for u.s. goods coming into china it could encourage chinese people not to buy american products but to buy you know meet instead from places like australia or new zealand and china has form for doing this when it fell out with korea south korea a few years back there was you know a boycott of south korean products now i think the fact that the talks are going to continue for a second day is i guess a hopeful sign but most analysts you speak to here in beijing nick seem to feel that there's not going to be

a deal now there eventually will be one because there has to be one but just now it's perhaps not the the opportune moment now president donald trump is due to visit north asia he's due to go to japan at the end of may to meet the new japanese emperor so there's an opportunity then them to perhaps get together with president xi and then of course we have the g twenty summit in osaka also in japan at the end of june there could still be a surprise but as i say the feeling among the people you speak to at the moment is that it's just not going to happen now the optics aren't right all right well we'll see how things develop in washington as the day goes on. united states says it sees the north korean cargo ship has violated international sanctions justice department officials say the ship one of north korea's largest was trying to transport coal it was detained in indonesia a year ago it's now been taken to american samoa. and north korean state media has

released pictures of a missile test hours after south korea detected a weapons launch on thursday can join oversaw the test that took place in the country's western region it's the second missile test in under a week the launches come just over two months after the deadly summits between kim and donald trump ended in failure well south korean president has commented on the recent escalation and he said the weapons tests on north korea's way of sending a message to the united states. north korea seem to be considerably discontented it could not reach a deal at the second north korea u.s. summit in one noisy north korea fired missiles that do not directly threaten the united states japan or south korea so they appear to be careful not to break down the dialogue but they express their opinion at the same time. now from robert reich has more from seoul. senior south korean defense officials have been briefing lawmakers in the national assembly on thursday's weapons test and it coincides with

the release by north korean state run media of images of what it calls a strike drill are various weapons being used by a number of different units overseen by leader kim jong un now south korea's military says that in addition to what's assumed to be the two short range missiles being fired in one direction and also being fired but this time in a westward direction towards the sea on that side of the korean peninsula were a number of multiple rocket launchers and also self-propelled guns so a serious show of force by north koreans military and it comes just five days after a similar weapons test which was carried out on saturday on north korea's east coast are now coming together they see is taken as a very serious provocation but south korea seeming to do all they can not to be provoked almost downplaying the significance and the seriousness of these latest

developments and it comes big on who is the u.s. special representative on north korean affairs is here in south korea talking to his counterparts about what comes next and about ways of moving forward one possibility is humanitarian assistance agreeing to send food aid to the north so while we have these increasing military tensions there is also the possibility of further conciliatory gestures with the whole future of negotiations very much hanging in the balance their own foreign minister says the european union should uphold its obligations under the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal and that includes normalizing economic ties with iran it comes off the e.u. leaders rejected iran sixty day ultimatum to protect it from u.s. sanctions the europeans still say they're committed to the nuclear deal and want to run to keep complying with the terms. iran wasn't officially on the agenda at the e.u. summit in romania but following tehran's move on wednesday to suspend some of its

commitments to the twenty fifty nuclear deal european leaders were forced to discuss the crisis the french president said europe still supported the accord known as the j c p o a and he urged iran not to break it of course yes france has stayed in it and will stay in it and i deeply wish to iran will too it is up to us to work to convince everyone and iran to stay in it the e.u.'s foreign policy chief was one of the deals may negotiators it's a matter of security for us and for the entire world the european union investment in nonproliferation continues to be a top priority for us so far we have first see an iran fully compliant with all its nuclear related commitments frustration is growing among leaders would be caught between the u.s. and iran as tensions on both sides mount before the summit the e.u. rejected an ultimatum from tehran given european powers sixty days to come up with

a plan to shield iran's economy from the impact of u.s. sanctions in a statement they said we strongly urge iran to continue to implement its commitments under the j c p o a in full as it is done until now and to refrain from any escalatory steps we reject all ultimatums the statement also criticized the u.s. for imposing sanctions on iran and pulling out of the deal one year ago european powers have been battling to save the twenty fifteen deal they want a payment system which allows for some trade between iran and the european union to so far is limited to only humanitarian items things like medicine and food and it's failed to persuade multinationals to resume trade with iran and risk u.s. penalties so unless e.u. leaders come up with some new solutions some say that tehran might decide that the deal is simple. well worth saving. what europe needs to do is first approach the remaining. participants russia and china and urge them to take steps commensurate

with what europe is doing but also they need to to find solidarity with elements in the united states you can push back on this neo conservatism that is hell bent on you know seeing this deal fail and potentially making war more possible for his defense ministers said that if iran breaks the deal the e.u. could impose sanctions european powers could be gambling only wrong will want to risk more damage to their economy or lose strategic allies as the stakes are raised on all sides the future the twenty fifteen a cool it looks increasingly fragile sascha buchla al-jazeera paris or the us deputy assistant secretary for arabian gulf affairs exclusively spoke to him and said a military conflict with iran is not the intention of the administration the administration's been very clear and you know secretary powell laid out a twelve point plan. no one would be happier than we would if iran were to rejoin

the community of nations this build up that we're doing now the show of force is to demonstrate our resolve in the face of escalation by the iranians it's to respond to that it's not to trigger a war a military conflict nobody in our administration wants to do that. but we are we are prepared and our allies will be prepared. the cia has warned friends and colleagues of the murdered journalist america so ji that the potential targets of the saudi government report by time magazine says three people have been given security briefings in recent weeks they include activists i had living in norway and. in canada a third person is in the united states but not to be named security services.
