1:03 pm
but this situation is very very critical and also the gumshoe teazed really approaching the form of 1. 1 the storm this would be more un probabilities 5 is he feeling some protesters want to take this a little to go to this 2nd u.n. to be put to come up because there is a very huge gun shops. to go to right not like i'm talking to one and just put this into context for us and tell us how this all started and what sparked it. in the morning wolf to do. with people going around saying that they want to definitively quote tended to stick in military bases the u.n. has been meant to get that they have been. talking about they said you have to please the u.n. they started did score 53 last week saying they don't feel the u.n.

1:05 pm
us we'll see but today it's really dispersed time that i've seen myself in the morning before. to become more to see the soldiers we leave broken goads they said this time we cannot accept anyone to attend to any un facilities this is the 1st time that we have seen this and i could hear from some protesters they are so surprised saying that they have been kind of with soldiers because soldiers were not taking part in this put this right in. 5 looking at them so definitely this is the main course i think we do believe people in 5 the media and they were killed they believe that sort of is they might be the target of some of the guys from from the protesters with soldiers are trying to stop them from accounting the u.n. building this only is a sort determine to come in if it's morning trying to arrest people 20 broke shooting around so that they cannot allow anyone to attend the u.n. this is what is happening 5 so it is like great in that you can show in chicago
1:06 pm
situation which is going on in the building here now going ok. can you thank you for giving us that update from benny let's bring in catherine so she is joining us from goma that's the largest city in the eastern democratic republic of congo and where you are catherine there's a general strike being observed right now in support of the protestors. yes i'm hearing the morning 5 a lot of shops were closed the streets are empty but it seems people are coming back to do their businesses where we are now a few clothes a few shops a still clothes on and on a normal day it will be a bit small busier than it is now but then again like i said people are still coming people are coming back to do their jobs. traffic has now started moving and i did mention just going back to that situation in benny i talked to the governor of north kivu benny is in north kivu province and the governor expressed a lot of concern saying that if this protest in beni continue unchecked then they
1:07 pm
could eventually be infiltrated by militia groups are not just talking about a.d.f. me. there's also another group called my my which is more entrenched with the community he says that the government the provincial government and security forces have intelligence that some politicians have gone to other parts of the region to engage with my my militia and awesome to come and participate in the protests of course right now it's too early and too tense and fluid in benny to say who exactly the military is battling but the governor told us he's very very concerned indeed and all this is happening in an area where health workers are struggling to contain an airball an outbreak that started a little over a year and a half. the visit by the director general of the walls health organization was brief but necessary. health workers responding to an
1:08 pm
outbreak in parts of the region talked last week by my my rebels in an area where people are still being infected by the disease for died in this hospital the chief visits those who were injured even one. could spark a fire so the same actually with a major one the major security incidents like this one. even more so it may take longer. you know it would have taken with the progress that we had. he had the agencies. coordinate to shows us what they're dealing with the red sports you see the focus points. it's in mining villages in about 70 kilometers from baby town where most of the new cases have been detected yet it's one of the most unsafe areas and where the health workers
1:09 pm
were recently killed plans are break important to stop or. this very difficult to access because of the forests around the mining areas making sure that they have full access to be. all of the villages and minds of the couple is important and the outbreak. up to a dozen a boiler responders have been killed and several treatment facilities attacked since the outbreak started nearly a year and a half ago. has killed on operations in beni because of the current security crisis these affects people tracking the disease we met. in 3 weeks ago she's among. people who've been in contact with ebola patients health officials tell us one of the biggest con sons is how people. can safely keep in touch with those. symptoms.
1:10 pm
the performance. because your own moment the person performing. you know. this is a problem because you want make sure that. in go. to those tasked with containing the disease some of whom have been at it from the frontlines in beni because of the unsighted security situation. while the priority now is to make sure that all the health workers who are still. are as safe as possible many have been evacuated but those we're being told. government health official those while the security is key and even do not have security they will not be able to deploy to areas like it took where people are still getting infected and potentially that could have
1:11 pm
a very negative impact on this fight against hezbollah ok catherine so i thank you for giving us that update from goma and let's speak about this with christa vogel he's a researcher at the university of kansas is also a former u.n. expert on the joining us via skype from brussels thanks very much for being with us on the al-jazeera news hour if you look at the situation and benny right now our reporter saying it's very fluid 2 people killed there is heavy gunfire on the streets protesters marching towards about u.n. base how concerning is all of this. that's actually pretty concerning because generally in burnie area we have both been able outbreak coinciding with massacres and attacks that are ongoing since done 14 and while those attacks have been mostly attribute it to a ugandan armed group called the a.d.f. we have many different actors operating in that area that have also been identified for day involvement internet biol and so when we hear about so-called my militia we
1:12 pm
need to be aware that those are like one or 2 dozen of very different groups and some sometimes the term in my eyes even used by civilian demonstrators and protesters as well. now we've also seen is a very massive medical to return intervention to address able which is actually left local populations in doubt or the so called the international community's dedication to also fight the violence with the same energy and moreover the militarization of the medical response in parts as falling trees distrust in an area where government troops and sometimes unit peacekeepers are not always seen as positive forces by everyone and the context of course so all of this is that the protesters in parts of the country are angry at the united nations peacekeepers they accuse them of for not protecting them in the face of attacks by armed groups how do you explain the continued attacks by these various armed groups despite the
1:13 pm
presence of u.n. peacekeepers it's one of the largest peacekeeping missions in the world. yes exactly so well obviously the government is the prime responsible to address insecurity and balance there is also a mismatch between the u.n. peacekeeping mandate and the reality on the ground and by now the congolese people are premature where that money screw the union peacekeeping mission involves what is called the force intervention big 8 which is tasked to actively combat armed groups and so they are the most critical when the killings happened near u.n. bases even though some of these anti u.n. sentiment that we're seeing now might also be further pushed by political manipulation of those critical to u.n. presence anyways so in general through that i'm going to school is the largest peacekeeping force in the world we also need to see that congress a huge country and we still only have like less than $20000.00 peacekeepers most of
1:14 pm
them with a very restrictive mandate so that probably explains in part it's also the. really the failure to protect to better protect civilian populations in eastern congo all right chris the voter we thank you very much for giving us your analysis from brussels. well the search for iraq's new prime minister has begun after the resignation of aga yet his entire cabinet i've been mad these governments will stay on in a caretaker capacity until a new one is formed more than 400 people have been killed in weeks of anti-government protests iraqis are not repeating their calls for a complete overhaul of the political system despite the resignation let's get an update from jabari joining us from baghdad so where do things stand today and what are the next steps or so. will the parliament will be meeting on tuesday to try and figure out that country's next prime minister and that is that. you
1:15 pm
demonstrators have been saying that they want to be able to elect their prime minister but based on the country's constitution which was drafted in 2005 that is not the case at the moment and they want that to change the parliament is going to try and figure out what they can come up with in the next 30 days in the meantime the violence is continuing especially in the southern city of najaf that is where we have heard reports that demonstrators have yet again set fire to the consulate there for the 2nd time in less than a week we've also confirmed 2 deaths that took place there on sunday all this continues while people say that they want to see a change in the country's political system. that certainly takes time and it's not going to be easy transition the meantime the polling the trying to find a local candidate to replace the ministers that is and knowing that that is. the right source of thank you for that update from baghdad let's make some way he's
1:16 pm
the director of the gulf studies center at qatar university joining us right here and thanks very much for your time with us on the al-jazeera news hour so the resignation of the prime minister in iraq was not really the central demand of the protesters there demanding the overhaul of the entire political. system so is iraq looking at a prolonged political crisis. i believe that this is just a new chapter i think this crisis is likely to go on for a while. there was a major problem with the whole system and the soul of the whole system. is one a product of that system so basically we are seeing a copy of what's happening in lebanon exactly because the demand was of the nation of prime minister and others what happens now what happens in iraq the problem with iraq is is the system is more for a jail because basically there is a serious. division within different political forces including shia bloc themselves and that's basically caused more complication within the political
1:17 pm
system and the question of courses whoever is nominated within the next couple of weeks whether that person will be accepted by those people on the streets the top city because the expectation is very high those people they set a very high expectation there are they they see what's happening as the birth of iraq the birth of their national identity that is something those politicians they have never expected this after 16 years of this. political system so basically that's to them is a shock i think how they will handle this it isn't so far as an evidence about weaknesses of that it jim and to put the whole political system because in reality they don't understand the language of the demonstrators because they think they are they are looking for a. very small little demands like you know improving the economy it's beyond that
1:18 pm
the people they have they set a very high demand and i'm not sure this government even for the government government would be able to actually to respond to that positively and we've seen anger as well directed on other countries like iran for example which protesters accuse of having a half. and in what's going on in iraq and also the united states which protesters some protesters rather blame for the system that was set up by the americans after the 2003 us invasion for 4 mentoring sectarian tensions in the country so what's at stake for those countries like iran and the united states is actually there are watching that hand in public i mean they don't intervene they try to say everything is happening in iraq is an iraqi problem and reality the americans they say they have interest to see a stable iraq with the reality they have little to play the iranians there they have already a major problem that is that this there's a level of. under within the society against iran because they blame iranians of
1:19 pm
being responsible of supporting those kind of politicians and caught up to them or are more and supporting a state actor like has a shabby and militia in iraq so basically iran has no credibility to suggest and a solution to those the mistreated is an admission to all of that there is. no strong believe that the little of violence used against those the mistreated in our city and other cities is actually supported by the iranian forces or by the iranian other tive and that cause more critique to iran and actually more anger against iran right this way we thank you very much for speaking to us thank you daryn. plenty more ahead on the al-jazeera news hour including some shuts down its government in order stock to help contain a measles outbreak that's killed 53 people. in the sports news lewis hamilton finished the season in style but what does he say about reports linking him to
1:20 pm
ferrari. but 1st the white house says it will not take part in the next step of the impeachment inquiry into donald trump the u.s. president has been given until sunday to confirm whether he'd send legal representatives to the house hearing on wednesday so the white house says it will respond separately about a 2nd hearing which was a friday deadline trump is accused of asking ukraine to investigate his political rival joe biden and biden's son in exchange for military aides so it's a busy week ahead for the impeachment inquiry members of the house intelligence committee are due to receive a copy of the impeachment report later on monday it will outline the findings of its investigation into trump's dealings with ukraine they'll have 24 hours to review the report and their own then be a vote on tuesday afternoon to move it forward to the next stage that being
1:21 pm
proceedings in the house judiciary committee which will consider any articles of impeachment against president trump jordan is in washington and she tells us more about the days ahead. the house judiciary committee will be having this open session on wednesday morning here in washington and that's going to be about 12 hours or so after the house intelligence committee actually decides to vote to send the river results of its 2 week long public hearings to the judiciary committee now there is this deadline at $22.00 g.m.t. on friday where the president's legal team will need to tell the house judiciary committee if they're going to be taking part in hearings that the judiciary committee will be convening not tomorrow on monday here in washington but starting a week from monday and that is another opportunity which house democrats say will give the president the opportunity to tell his side to bring in witnesses to
1:22 pm
present evidence as this inquiry continues but it is widely expected here in washington that the white house will once again wait until late on friday to say that they're not going to participate because at least from a political standpoint they are now making the argument that the entire process is fraudulent and that this is nothing more than the democrats trying to undermine the president's efforts at being reelected in 2020 let's speak to scotland because he's a professor of international politics at the university of birmingham he's also the co-founder of the trump project that's a news and analysis website for writing daily coverage on president trump he's joining us via skype from birmingham hi there thanks for joining us on the al-jazeera news hour so analyze this for us than trying to team has long dismissed this impeachment inquiry the investigation as a sham and a hoax and now he's saying he nor his legal team will take part in the house
1:23 pm
hearing on wednesday are you surprised that he's taken that decision. no i mean if they participate they give the proceedings an appearance of legitimacy they give legitimacy not only to the process but to the weight of evidence that has really accumulated in the past 2 months through the house intelligence committee hearings including the public sessions a few weeks ago the only response they have this weight of evidence because it quite clearly shows from 17th former and current u.s. officials that donald trump was engaged in pressure on ukraine to investigate his political rivals that this was linked to a quid pro quo freezing military aid and giving a visit to the white house the korean president they'll respond in response they have is not to confront the evidence but to try to say the whole thing is a hoax the whole thing is baseless that was the word used by the white house counsel yesterday when he said they would not participate in other words when you have nothing to deal with the case at hand you tried to divert and to flood and then finally say hey what are you all looking at this is all just
1:24 pm
a witch hunt to get rid of me great but is this plan or this strategy if you're going to call it the voting well for trump and his team. well i think in the level of congress it played well with the house republicans so far in that those legislators have been worth more much more forthcoming in saying that witnesses have no credibility of even questioning the loyalty of u.s. officials to the u.s. and one case study that left and colonel alexander redmond was were loyal to ukraine it's going to be a question i think not in the house but in the senate because senate republicans and that's where the trial will take place if everything proceeds it will take place in january they've been much more reticent except for a few senators to come out fully behind trump so i would be watching for their signals as it were off to the side of the stage where we go through the next process in the judiciary committee and as always try to get
1:25 pm
a reading in terms of the republicans whether they think they can sway public opinion with these distractions and by throwing dust in everyone's eyes in other words at the end of the day do they think the trunk should call base and we don't know how large it is is going to be his salvation. scott lucas we thank you very much for speaking to us from birmingham thank you. the international court of justice in the netherlands is holding public hearings on an appeal that was made in connection to the blockade of cats harm that's after the u.a.e. saudi arabia egypt and bahrain closed their airspace to qatar as national airline cats are says airspace restrictions by saudi arabia and the u.a.e. violate international law and has made a number of claims to the court after the gulf states imposed that land air and sleep blockade more than 2 years ago let's speak to his joining us from the hague in the netherlands how are the proceedings going so far as i'm out. well that
1:26 pm
kicked off roughly an hour ago and essentially what's meant to be taking place here is that the united arab emirates saudi arabia egypt and bahrain have filed a complaint or a case the i.c.j. basically they're rejecting a previous decision by which is the international court commercial aviation organization that ruled in favor of qatar saying that the blockading nations closing their airspace to qatar was in fact illegal and what the blockading countries have done is they've said to the international court of justice that doesn't have jurisdiction with regards to this because they're saying that the reason why they've done it is for political. purposes and what they've done in these opening statements is they've tried to essentially diverts away from the case of blocking the airspace from a commercial perspective and how that breaches international law and agreements and tried to focus attention on what they are claiming is of support for so-called
1:27 pm
terrorism in fact i've spent quite a bit of their statements attacking things like al-jazeera and certain media institutions and this is something that's become basically synonymous with the blockading countries arguments for justifying the collective punishment they've imposed on qatar by trying to say that these organizations or these institutions and the policies. pursues are essentially interfering in domestic affairs so they're they've been given time to give their reasoning behind it once that finishes court that has its chance to respond to these accusations this will go on for 2 sessions each so the statements by the nations then are really rebuttal from the parties and then further statements and then a rebuttal before we then see when the i.c.j. will make an announcement it's not likely that that would happen within these few days most likely will take some time because of the way the i.c.j.
1:28 pm
is setup. essentially the opening statements by those countries focused a lot from more on political stances that they have really didn't feature much in terms of the freedom of movement and in terms of the civil aviation international agreements which they've been breaching right ok thank you for that update. and a few moments we'll have the weather with kevin but still ahead right here on the al-jazeera news hour pushing for an aids free africa leaders from the u.n. and health care industry meet in rwanda to tackle it spreads and then sport the gold rush continues for the philippines as they struck their stuff at the southeast asian games.

1:33 pm
targeting of civilians a war crime also it's calling on the international community to intervene and protect civilians this is after the sunday attack which is that which killed a number of innocent civilians including women and children in a neighborhood in southern tripoli as a warplane loyal to the warlords liefer have to according to the government of national called. targeted that a civilian house in a neighborhood killing and injuring a number of innocent civilians this is not the 1st time innocent civilians being killed are wanted by airstrikes or random rockets also on thursday a warplane targeted a village. in the south of libya killing and injuring a number of civilians from the tableaux tribes which are opponents of the world
1:34 pm
lord have that many people here including the tribes in the south of libya and the interior ministry at the tripoli the government of national accord are calling on the international community to do their part to protect civilians but also calling the targeting of innocent civilians war crime china has suspended all visits by u.s. warships to hong kong the naval ban comes a week after president donald trump signed a law that imposes sanctions on chinese and hong kong officials for any human rights abuses beijing is also imposing sanctions on several u.s. post rights organizations like human rights watch has seen nearly 6 months of anti government protests. australia's foreign minister says china's treatment of a detained australian chinese writer is unacceptable pro-democracy advocates yang hendren has been held in beijing since january suspected of spying there is pain
1:35 pm
says yang's being interrogated daily while shackled and is pushing for him to be freed some of his prime minister is shutting down the government and ordering staff to help deal with the spiraling measles outbreak so far at least 53 people have died on the pacific islands most of them young children schools have been ordered to close and travels being restricted as many as 100 people are falling ill every day james nichols is with unicef australia he says efforts to contain the outbreak have been well coordinated so far well there has been a response literally from the 1st day of the of the upright and uni set has been working very closely with the government and the world health organization and also with other partners such as the australian department of foreign affairs and trite and new zealand's ministry of foreign affairs and she's right in mounting a response so. it's it's clear to me that the response
1:36 pm
has been switched. 580-0000 additional vaccines of missiles from angels has been flowing into the region and 115000 doses of missiles vaccines have arrived in somalia since the 1st of october and this includes syringes safety boxes as well as supplies of vitamin i which are vital in responding to such an outbreak so things are definitely on the way but obviously with more deaths this is a tragedy this is really an emergency still and we're not out of it yet. the biggest aids conference in africa opens on monday with officials from both the u.n. and health care sector are expected to attend and their meeting to discuss the goal of an aids free africa. was recently in uganda's capital kampala where she met a family affected by the disease when her jarrod mccalla discovered she was hey
1:37 pm
child be positive her husband disappeared without his support she wasn't able to travel to the clinic where she was receiving treatment here in uganda's capital kampala. she gave birth to twins without any measures taken to prevent transmission the youngest was negative. but the berates had coughs rashes and a growth on her chest only after 3 months was she tested with aids and given treatment. i reach a point when i feel tired of taking the drugs my child is going to take these drugs until she dies she is going to die taking the drugs because i gave it to her had it been prevented she would not have to take. a jar is now back on the antiretroviral medication that started it too late to stop her getting sick in her job as neighborhood most of the housing is basic there are a few jobs here when the only ways to get by is informal trade side of the street
1:38 pm
many of the health care services that are needed by people with hate hiv and aids are only available several kilometers away in the city center even if the service is a free people don't necessarily have the money for transport and that's just one of many barriers that people face health care activists say that the world's fight against hate hiv and aids is failing to deliver the required services in particular to children in the world's poorest communities. is the u.s. government funds most of the world's response to hiv and aids in poor countries people at this clinic are among millions receiving free medication that stops hiv from being a death sentence diplomat in charge says there's enough money we've been and basically a flat budget since 20092009 i think we had about 45000000 people on treatment we now have 15.7 that doesn't happen without developing amazing efficiencies and
1:39 pm
effectiveness that campaigners say those efficiencies a costing lives hiv testing is crucial for newborns he needs to be immediate but few clinics are equipped for that sending blood samples to central testing facilities can take weeks. government. like up to the scale of this thing for these children whether they get their results and then we're able to intervene in prevent the new infections. that berate could have been spared from hiv if only the right health care services had been delivered campaigners say hundreds of thousands of children like her a dying. drugs have saved millions of lives but the fight against aids isn't over. and let's bring in martin where he's joining us now from to garley that's where that aids conference is being held to talk us through what's happening over there mark and. one of the things that health care campaign is calling for is
1:40 pm
the truth the access to hate rightly testing for new born children not a problem you just saw in the story there with me maureen milonga who works for health campus an organization that campaigns for people with hiv access to treatment what is it that's needed to give testing facilities needed so you need children. that's currently right now global theatrical access is a crisis it is a challenge because only about 52 percent of children watch any quantity and have access to a 7 to. 300 of those babies die every day because they're not receiving access to services one time we have an opportunity there are mechanics to be able to provide . test results to babies in one hour yet our current health care system
1:41 pm
at taking days on end to be able to provide money and babies with the test results they need to be able to put on treatment i think something that is the most crucial is we need to be able to put in money for children we need to be able to prioritize children. right now currently we have no we need new money we have little money within the system and we need to find more people including children who are really much unless they're not able to speak for themselves we so that the . u.s. that says a lot of money and they're talking about more efficiencies we're talking about using this it is an equal funding this is the old with the position of the biggest donor in the fight against aids i disagree with that completely i think when we are unable to provide babies with quality care quality care meaning that services are provided to them efficiently and quickly in order to be able to keep them alive
1:42 pm
