congolese nationals who were sent back on thursday after an agreement was made between the 2 governments to repatriate them the district surrounding the hospital is on alert began and government has banned public gatherings in the district as the minister of health tries to control the spread of the virus causes internal bleeding and is often fatal ugandan doctors take 2 other patients are being kept in isolation in the latest outbreak of ebola in uganda spades from the east and the outbreak has since killed 1400 congolese and infected 2000 just over 500 have been treated to contain the spread has been hampered by militia attacks on treatment centers and hostility towards medical teams in a bustling market that uganda's capital kampala concerns are growing. about you know. i think.
6:04 am
this is. preemptive measures are being imposed ugandans are being urged to wash their hands with salt following previous outbreaks and the doctors and nurses are experienced in dealing with ebola patients they've also help contain outbreaks. in other countries in west africa an emergency vaccination campaign is being set up in united health workers on the frontline in number of people over 700 frontline has another one. and so right. again all. the work ring
6:05 am
vaccination. the alert is spreading to the world health organization and emergency committee is planned on friday to determine whether the gander she become an international public health emergency. c. who's the communications chief at unicef uganda he joins us via skype from the capital thank you very much for being with us or can you give us more an idea of the level of preparedness in uganda to try and prevent the further spread of a boner. sure absolutely. we've actually been preparing for the last several months. all across the western border. with the with the with the eastern b.r.c. and that preparedness is included in the amber of options for us as unicef we provided support in terms of sensitizing communities and mobilizing communities to
6:06 am
pass on the correct knowledge and information on what people the virus is how the contract it how presented and also appropriate treatment practices that can be practiced so we've been doing this in a number of ways including passing information to mass media most notably radio but also television and also interpersonal communication strategy for such as doing it through house or visit over the last several several months there is actually being around $350000.00 households businesses that have been conducted just to really sensitized people about this and addition to that there's been community engagement activities in public places such as churches mosques or in marketplaces or in bus stop so many many different types of engagement have happened in order to pass on pass on this information in addition to that water and sanitation
6:07 am
interventions that been really important so as was mentioned in the report hand-washing is pretty critical but also busy. distributing hand washing facilities that all health facilities across across about 20 districts in in western uganda yeah and even when you're important you get the impression though that the also if he's know yet whether it's being contained when just on the tennis cases the 2 who don't have traveled across the border from d.l.c. and when will they know if you know the kind of the extent of the problem you think . yeah i mean it's so. the assessments that are happening of course are tracing all of the people that come into contact with those cases so that takes a period of time so with those cases confirmed that there is now. a very very strong response plan that's being carried out in a number of different areas and that's really what we're focused on it's absolutely
6:08 am
critical that would scaling up that response in order to to contain the spread of the virus as much as possible and that is really needed for the next several weeks and even couple months so passing on it to me is one of the problems that with the with the bone of that the fact that people don't necessarily always diagnose it that can be misdiagnosed the fever can be misdiagnosed as symptoms of malaria typhoid or other things it can be missed is that one of the problems with with it with tracking it well i mean yeah absolutely i mean it's really important that that people know what those symptoms are so that they're where they're aware of them so again it comes back to passing that information so that people can preempt. basically test it and then preempt anything until spread so that's why really communication in the engagement is one of the most critical responses sort of miscommunication and mobilize the mobilization of communities and that's really what we're focused on specifically in the concessive district and then in some
6:09 am
surrounding districts and i thank you very much indeed for joining us trying the safe and unicef thank you. former british foreign secretary boris johnson has talked to the 1st round of the u.k. conservative leadership race he secured 114 votes from m.p.'s but his nearest challenger jeremy hunt getting just 43 and the leading contenders have been setting out the different views but i have had to deliver bricks hit after 3 years of failing to do so but also how to stop that party from fully in pot starting with port. jeremy hunt 43. sajid javid 23. boris johnson 114. so it's already seems to be boris johnson's race to lose he received nearly 3 times as many votes as his nearest rival in this 1st round and momentum is now very much with.
6:10 am
his team has studiously avoided letting johnson do any of this sort of thing for the obvious reason that it hardly looks like a prime minister in waiting. but for all of his ducking of difficult questions about his private life and personality it remains a fact that polling has him as popular with his party but unpopular with very many voters they are unlikely m.p.'s seem to want to know how exactly he will renegotiate a deal with the european union when there is effectively no time left to do it. i think the onus is on the candidates to show how they will achieve brix it because it's all very well saying we'll go for no deal but that may not get through parliament you say you really go she hate it when the moment gets through the year so at the moment the candidates and not being adequately precise to convince even their own colleagues let alone the membership of the public an orange johnson's
6:11 am
appeal is partly based on the terror many conservative m.p.'s have that nigel farage is the bracks it policy is so undermining them that if it isn't delivered as soon as possible then the tory party faces destruction. but does johnson do his rivals jeremy hunt the current foreign secretary or michael gove the eloquence environment secretary actually know how to deliver bracks it's any better than to resume a did they've been wrong for 3 years about what the e.u. is willing to negotiate why would they be right all of a sudden now so they don't stand up to scrutiny i think it's not necessarily intended to stand up to scrutiny i think it's maybe intended to influence the candidates in the leadership debate to towards that of moving generally towards their direction and competing with each other to be more. bracks it yes that consideration seems less important to rank and file conservatives than their belief
6:12 am
that only johnson can stop their party from being wiped out boris johnson may not be a details man but he's certainly not short of rhetorical flourish courage seems to be his by word of course the u.k. can do this one way or the other well if he really thinks he is the man to take the u.k. ounce of the european union without any sort of trade deal he may find himself hostage to his own fortune. apart from anything else the growing likelihood of johnson as prime minister will put enormous pressure on the labor party leader jeremy corbin to do something to stop the u.k. being walked out of the european union without any trade deal and time is not on his side either lawrence leigh al-jazeera london as part of its deal with the us mexico has less than $45.00 days to reduce the flow of migrants crossing its border into the states president donald trump has pushed for a safe 3rd country agreement in which people fleeing violence and poor economic conditions will be required to seek asylum in the 1st country they reach and speak
6:13 am
to john heilemann who joins us from mexico city so john with all this pressure from the u.s. what's mexico doing so far to stop the flow of migrant well it's been a bit delayed really because the big promise for mexico's foreign minister was that 6000 members of mexico's newly formed national guard were going to head to the southern border that makes curry shares with guatemala to reinforce that border it was promised that they were going to arrive on monday of this week and we're hearing that they're still not there now but there are being actions that have been taken on that border since president trump 1st complained and friend actually to close the border in a pro those checkpoints along that border now with not just migration officials but also federal police and the armed forces that we saw last week when we were there a mets crew says that it is doing something 80000 people detained and deported in what's gone so far of this administration about 6 months the problem at the united
6:14 am
states so that's about a 5th of the number of people that are arriving at their border the border with the u.s. and mexico the mits going interior minister spoke yesterday wednesday saying she was mystified really about how they were getting there have a listen. i want to keep our guessing on this but all in only though it's a massive amount of people i don't know where they go through how 144000 people possibly our country. so the mets can interior minister there says that she doesn't know how they're getting through mexico well al-jazeera we actually went to the border we went to a little guarded spot of the border where hundreds of people are actually getting through most nights here's our report. you have heard of the caravans thousands of people from central america crossing into and through mexico they've attracted international attention and the anger of president trump. but there
6:15 am
are other caravans to these ones a secret but over the last year they've almost certainly carried far more migrants than the ones in the news here they are convoys of trucks which head out from a little god to board a point between guatemala mit's co local say they carry hundreds of people and go most nights they controlled by people smugglers each of the charges has paid them thousands of dollars to get to the u.s. border. this one's been cool but it's the exception. is the same from another state police open a truck see the migrants packed inside and wave it on. and this is where it all begins impoverished communities in honduras el salvador and here he's shouting what the model where people like daniel the desperate to get to the u.s. so. you can come good on the dream that you have a house or

6:17 am
safe house to safe house it's lucrative but it's getting harder after pressure from president trump mits because governments tighten security along the border with what the mother calls you know a little. more toward me. now there's not a lot of movement they still go but he's gone down 50 percent it's more discreet. but it is still happening we staked out the caravan in a roadside field a local contact told us he'd seen the lorries loading up shortly after we saw them heading through followed by several issues these. caravans of going coast that go in front of the coast is clear so we instantly hit it and just wait for a chance to see it we got the tip off and we just saw the long line of trucks good post migrants told us the smugglers usually let them out just before the us border they can then cross and ask for asylum daniel never made it that far the convoy he

6:22 am
killed and hundreds wounded. uganda has banned public gatherings in parts of the country after a 2nd person died at the abode of virus. more now on our top story the reported attacks on 2 tankers in the gulf or. i'm on a cronies company disses an academy says he is at the international think tank chatham house specializing in maritime security he joins us from oxycontin for being with us so we had to pump a squarely laying the blame but iran's door for this. do you think we will get the evidence eventually that that is what happened. why do we need to be cautious about it the assumption and what we are getting so hard with a intelligence that they were collecting gives us a color glady guess if i can say it seems that this edition of the attack in the methods used in the weapons used in big aid that the nation state allegedly iran was responsible for about but maybe it was not actually that was in use something
6:23 am
that was initiated by iran itself but something that may be silly david and carried out by a proxy so it's these remains to be seen but all the indications leads us to words of that assumption and what about the possibility that there might be further attacks that was one of the official pushes from the want to say one more time because tanker ties could if you don't think this is. well it's very interesting to go back to a month before the close of may when we had the missile for attacks against tankers where the size of the attack was significantly smaller than this one so we see that those who conducted the attacks did at best that this thing if we could say back in may and in this case there is other was much bigger any journalist a pension during the u.n. security council to look at the problem immediately and try to put come up with solutions so yes definitely if we're trying to create a disruption in that specific area then the will be probably looking at more
6:24 am
attacks being carried on your needs and if that does happen and that this is escalates how what kind of impact will that be from potentially the closure or the disruption to that particular waterway. well in order to understand that we should look at the bigger picture which ready should look and understand that 90 percent of global trade these conducted by sea by the sea the strait of hormuz is the most important to mars time so point in the whole world because about 30 percent of crude oil and byproducts and 26 percent of mesereau gust he's being exported through that specific shoot so if you close that you create a major disruption in the oyster low both in markets the you. may need the fire east because 50 percent of that the oil goes to europe is up on sigh and then in the so you close at the destruction then it has a month's global impact tell me what the reaction you expect from the u.s.
6:25 am
minutes it took about. 2 weeks and so one would but do you expect any kind of effort to me would you had a buildup of additional military forces in the region expect a lot from. of course. much more military presence will be. will become in gaap in the area where busy expecting to get much closer surveillance of the whole area in order to identify an event similar event that may be getting in the in the region and to be honest the still needs to be much more instability in the whole region which is something that it's not really one today it's not something that we're looking forward to be honest carnesecca politicized given the current thank you. donald trump is again under fire of the comments he made about accepting information from foreign governments the president told a.b.c. news that being offered damaging information on a political opponent didn't constitute foreign interference can really help get
6:26 am
reports. u.s. president donald trump on the defensive after remarks about accepting information from foreign governments they all do it they always have at issue this interview trump gave to an american news network suggesting if he was offered damaging information on a political opponent he'd listen if somebody called. from a country norway we have information on your. oh i think i want to hear if you want to kind of interference in our elections not in the difference they have information i think i'd take it if i thought there was something wrong i'd go maybe to the f.b.i. if i thought there was something wrong on thursday truck back those remarks in a tweet saying they're no different than accepting advice from foreign heads of state like the queen of england encouraged espionage metropolis faced criticism since the 2016 presidential election when he publicly asked for outside help to
6:27 am
investigate his democratic opponent hillary clinton russia if you're listening i hope you are able to find the 30000 e-mails that are missing. in spite of that a recent department of justice investigation found the campaign did nothing illegal when it communicated with russians link to the kremlin but many democrats in congress disagree that's an assault on our democracy and a softer imagine. after talking to members of trump's own family and his former staff as part of a potential impeachment investigation prompts comments even contradict the views of his own f.b.i. chief if any public official or member of any campaign is contacted by any nation state or anybody acting on behalf of the nation state about influencing or interfering with our election and that's something that the f.b.i. want to know about republicans are also concerned if
6:28 am
a foreign government comes to you as a public official 1st to help your campaign giving you anything of value with the money or information on your opponent the right answer is no i ran for president twice i ran for governor once i ran for senate twice i've never had any attempt made by a foreign government to contact me or a member of my staff and had that occurred out of contact with the f.b.i. immediately an increasing number of democratic lawmakers believe donald trump's latest statements just adds to the case that they've been baking for months that a piece of proceedings against the president should immediately begin kimberly help at al jazeera the white house sarah saunders is leaving her position as white house press secretary donald trump announced the departure on twitter the u.s. president said saunders would return to her home state of arkansas saunders is the 3rd white house press secretary to serve under trump after sean spicer and antony
