area they want citizens in the past not to travel to certain parts of west africa for this very reason but one of the questions which will really be raised over the next few days and weeks is how it is the two french soldiers were killed in such an operation these were special forces soldiers they were highly skilled highly trained they both had experience in the sawhill region and for now we don't know the circumstances of their death but i think that will be a question that many will want to want to ask but secondly their families. in south africa the ruling african national congress has to be announced as the winner of wednesday's general election but with nearly all of its counter the a.n.c. has the low share of vote since the end of apartheid twenty five years ago the main opposition democratic alliance won almost a quarter of the vote michael ware pasmore from the capital for toria. more than ninety percent of the votes cast have now being counted and we're getting the results as they are counted up on the screens two boards to the side showing the

headquarters protesters are saying that they will continue with their sit in until their demands are fulfilled now the temperature is forty five degrees celcius is the holy month of ramadan and many of the people here are fasting but they're saying that that is not going to stop them from demanding that the military council hand over power to an independent civilian transitional government there saying that they know they are the only pressure card that the opposition coalition which negotiating with the military council has to try to force that military council to hand over power so they're saying that no matter how high the temperature is in no matter what time of the year if the military council is not installed then they are not going to move many of them have come from different states around the country and they've been here this is the second month that they've been protesting in front of the army headquarters and the protests obviously started in december last year and now people are saying that if the military council does not show any sign of wanting to hand over power to civilian government then they will escalate and turn it into civil disobedience and strikes from work so they're going to try to

force them into account in every way they can the big opposition coalition led by the sunnis professionals association which has been spearheading calls for protest say that more people should be arriving today and in the coming days to join the sit in to join the people here in the demand to have the military council hand over the power to an independent transitional government and people are saying that if that government is not formed if it is not independent if the military is in charge then they will not move from this place in front of the army headquarters and how to. japan is accusing north korea of violating your resolutions with its latest missile tests the second weapons test within a week north korean state media showed at least one missile being launched on thursday the u.s. says multiple ballistic rockets were also fired but the bride has moved to 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 of 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 westwood 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 this 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 be going who is the u.s.

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 the disease which is usually fatal if untreated 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 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 house workers are also frequently targeted on wednesday at least nine people were killed when my my fighters tried to assault in a bowl

a treatment center in the north kivu city of. but came to. 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 in an effort to stop a new wave of ebola cases. so for more on this we are joined by nicole for sina she is regional 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 stats news 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 we're reading about it we're not nesting seen 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 a bolo 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 sentiment 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 well much.

deadly this is sometimes difficult for people to believe. and it's one of the challenge that we are facing in this. region where. video in the box so people believe that. somebody. is one of the sites you have to fight for us they believe and sort out some lies quite real unfortunately people start to realize the. sense of that around them and help them realize what. they did this. to fight the bull you really need this community. knowledge that this is also making sure about there are fully parts of the response there is the challenge that we are facing now in the us. i'm just thinking if i could add on that japanese

mikko guy place so community engagement is at the forefront of our response and i think it's really important because community engagement can mean many different thing so community engagement is much more than just informing the community but it's also to listening through a community so by going door to door and hearing what the community is saying and understanding their fears and understanding their concerns with the outbreak is a really critical piece and this is then the last piece of being community gauge where you actively involve the community in the response so by using to answer this tweet a perfect example would be using as simple list survivor to go back into their community and explain that ebola is a real disease and people do need to seek treatment there's a very important reason nicko if if you are also in people's fears what are they telling you as you're going to communities and what are you scared about what are

they saying this can 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 well 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 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 to haven't 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 break from 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 the 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 run 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 to show a condom for human face behind this protective equipment. for hobbs. 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 at the very top of this 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 is led to the increase of deaths among patients dr andrea 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 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 when you're wearing a flak jacket so when you are trying to treat the second biggest outbreak of ebola 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. but it's part of our duty as the first medical doctor but also once have forgotten

vision to ensure that people in need of treatment receive it so if actually 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 lift this virus within this population that spies the difficulties that spies. many of violence that jolly disrupt their response and it's done with helping violence 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 country's hirees. our motivation we try also to ensure and discuss with all the difference they

called us in this case with the 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 resource our billeted the population. because it brought them not only about him paula but it's for her as is from the right to live in the area. so we 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 our 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 to be 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 paying 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 four to 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 a license 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 inst you know it's in the process of getting license for the problem with an

any kind of a therapy for both 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 dr has been vaccinated i'm probably pretty not a 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 people up there is that they need this box in to be protected at least to limit it to reduce their transmission and maybe overcome this 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 we have have been able to break now i mean whether vaccine that that had safety data and small safety trials in 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 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 the 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. we have. while responded to because frankly we have the neighboring countries. some of them health workers are already. also. laboratory capacity to two diff that's also through the. including silence of the. money so also progress of. preparedness in neighboring countries. also it may come use them for information surely. contact people that the been in contact with.

to travel or trial of a. particular. we searched also this sturgeon it can use them between different ministries of these countries so we cannot avoid this where are you reduce but we try to make sure that the virus and contrie the 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 of 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 deer see an alert for our safe and dignified burial which is a process that you use to bury the body of the day 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 and 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 about me leave you with. a bullet claim 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 correct 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 is a way that the response can integrate a little bit better into addressing some of the longstanding needs of the community

france without collecting its load of weapons following protests over the military campaign in yemen also this hour over looks for a five star review from investors in its hotly anticipated share listing. i'm joined again here also with the sports as p.s.g. is neymar is given a three match ban for lashing out at a fund. thank you for joining as u.s. and chinese negotiators have started a second day of talks aimed at ending the trade war between the world's two largest economies a new trade agreement is being discussed in washington but donald trump says it is in no rush to strike a deal and deescalated tensions on friday by increasing tabs on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese imports from ten to twenty five percent and the u.s.

president raised the stakes further by hinting that his preparing to impose duty on almost all chinese imports to the u.s. worth around three hundred twenty five billion dollars the chinese government's wowing to retaliate with similar measures as a white house correspondent kimberly hall kate in washington kimberly quite a lot of early morning tweets from the president today what does this tell us about where the negotiations with china stand and where they're headed. quite a flurry of tweets follow it so there are three takeaways that i think we can get from these number one it appears the president is somewhat frustrated but is trying to put a positive spin on what he knows is a very fragile and delicate situation number two it appears that donald trump doesn't completely understand how tariffs work or is again trying to again put a positive spin on the situation particularly when he says that china would end up bearing the brunt of these tariffs in fact that's not completely true it would be

more the american consumer that can see the impacts given the fact that the importers here in the united states would would likely have to pay this in the past that on to the consumer so in that regard is politically risky now in terms of the other takeaway in all of this is that the president believes that there is potentially still time to make a deal but is putting gasoline on the fire if you will by threatening even further tariffs potentially on five hundred forty billion dollars worth of chinese exports into the united states now where is he getting that number well that is what is the sort of total amount was last year of chinese goods coming into the u.s. so what he's essentially threatening is to put on twenty five percent tariffs on an additional three hundred twenty five billion dollars worth of chinese exports to the united states this is very very stressful for many american consumers who have already seen these impacts and also politically risky for the president as he tries

to you know talk about reelection because many of the people that will feel the impacts are from supporters i was going to ask you just that came to me it's a big gamble for the president isn't it is it is this some time to work out a solution with the chinese. yes there is still chance there is. in the way this is implemented there are higher tariffs that apply but only to the goods that are now leaving china what this means is those goods that are already headed to the united states to america's shores they will not be affected so this is that sort of small window of opportunity we're told from negotiators here in the u.s. side that they believe things are going well and very quickly we should point out donald trump also said he received a warm letter from president xi that seemed to say and suggest that they're willing to work out a deal but at the same time as we know the chinese government has threatened to put in counter measures so there's a lot at stake thank you for that kimberly hellcats our white house correspondents

live there in washington d.c. and ain china they are concerns about the impact of the trade war on consumers and the economy from beijing adrian brown explains. it was just after midday beijing time the china and united states moved closer to a full blown trade not that many people seem to notice in this busy beijing market shop as we spoke to say the trade war hasn't so far affected what they find but it has affected the way some now think about the united states and nationalist sentiment is building me to invade which it isn't going to it is the america's normal practice to bully others how to money countries always do this for us and so what can tell you when we get strong enough america will not even think about bombing us he's referring to what happened twenty years ago this week when u.s. missiles struck china's belgrade embassy during nato's bombardment if you can

slavia killing three chinese journalists nato called it an accident china called it an act of war and still does here in china it's a year of political and emotionally charged anniversaries the most important one falls in october when people mark. seventy years since the foundation of the people's republic a year in which china's leader has to appear strong especially over trade if you don't agree. with what you were china knows what it's like to be on the losing side in a real trade war in the mid nineteenth century it lost two to britain which was trying to force china to buy opium a humiliating episode of chinese history and one to which president xi jinping often refers to today the trade war with the united states is one more concern in a critical year that the economic expectational is that the economy is going to be very weak there's financial risks fine ever risks are rising and the housing market

is not particular strong either so what we're looking at is a fragile economy and a very difficult situation from outside. they've been dismantling the old u.s. embassy in beijing it's diplomats moved to a vast complex on the other side of the city years ago but this week of all weeks chinese workman began knocking down the old building a fitting metaphor perhaps for the state of sinaloa u.s. relations adrian brown al-jazeera beijing. and other world news a saudi shape has sales from france without its planned congo of weapons human rights protesters say the shipman breach an international arms treaty lead to military intelligence reports in france showed the saudis at war in yemen were finding the weapons on civilians on civilians france is one of the kingdom's

leading suppliers and president iranian mccoy is being pressured to reveal weapon sales but it's not his i'm going to commit or to the arms that have been sold or used within the scope of the conflict nevertheless i would like to say here that what was reiterated is the guarantee for the arms not to be used against civilian populations let's speak to paul brennan in london for us paul it's not just france of course several european countries have come under pressure not to sell weapons to saudi arabia tell us what seems to have happened with this friendship meant. this shipment which is a historic agreement that's been made several months perhaps even a couple of years ago but is only now being fulfilled by the french government and they're not telling us exactly what exactly what was on the in the cargo what exact weapons we're talking about here nonetheless there's a saudi cargo ship called the body yahoo which has been more just off the half in just outside french territorial waters about fifteen miles off the coast was

there since late wednesday expecting to move into the port pick up the cargo and head off now it's stayed there for about twenty four hours and then it just before ten am g.m.t. this morning abruptly turned around and disappeared. and we've been tracking it on websites that track vessels and i can tell you that it's currently in the mid english channel heading its two cents on dead a spanish port and it has not picked up this cargo of weaponry which the french were hoping to dispatch to saudi arabia why well clearly the spotlight was on and the french didn't like the controversy that has been controversy across europe about weapons deals with saudi arabia three scandinavian countries have suspended weapons sales to saudi arabia germany has also suspended said it saudi arabian weapons deals other countries have nots great britain spain and of course france france the world's third largest weapons exporter they have decided to continue to

trade with saudi arabia on weapons but it's all very uncomfortable for the french government and the amount of american we heard in the sound bite that we just played that has been questioned quite seriously about the flip flopping about the government's position he said previously that the weapons were only is for defensive purposes and then his question was yes but these are howitzers lined up on the border firing into yemeni territory they're not defensive purposes and he said well yes ok yes you're right but they're not used for civilian civilian targets so this criticism from n.g.o.s and human rights group what about the way that the french president has kind of changed his story in recent weeks to try to justify the ongoing trade thank you for that poll brain and mind for us in london thank you very much. now to sudan where protesters are defying forty five degree a forty five degree heat to continue their five week long setting out on the headquarters protests threatening a civil disobedience campaign as they grow increasingly frustrated with the

military's remains in handing over power military rulers are promising elections in six months if an agreement can't be reached with the opposition are reported him or morgan has the latest from khartoum. here in front of the army headquarters protesters are saying that they will continue with their sit in until their demands are fulfilled now the temperature is forty five degrees celsius is the holy month of ramadan and many of the people here are fasting but they're saying that that is not going to stop them from demanding that the military council hand over power to an independent civilian transitional government there saying that they know they are the only pressure card that the opposition coalition which negotiating with the military council has to try to force that military council to handle the parser they're saying that no matter how high the temperature is in no matter what will be here if the military council is not installed then they are not going to move many of them have come from different states around the country and they've been here this is the second month that they've been protesting in front of the army headquarters and the protests obviously started in december last year and now

people are saying that if the military council does not show any sign of wanting to hand over power to civilian government then they will escalate until it into civil disobedience and strikes from work so they're going to try to force them into account in every way they can the big opposition coalition led by the sudanese professional association which has been spearheading calls for protest say that more people should be arriving today and in the coming days to join the sit in to join the people here in the demand to have the military council hand over power to an independent transitional government and people are saying that if that government is not formed if it is not independent if the military is in charge then they will not move from this place in front of the army headquarters and how to. plenty more ahead on this al-jazeera news hour including more people around the world have been forced from their homes and haven't before we'll look at why plus the new hospital offers hope to palestinians who have lost their names in the israeli crackdown in gaza.
