old. al jazeera. hello and welcome to this al-jazeera news hour live from doha i'm martine dennis coming up in the next 60 minutes trying to contain the spread of a new virus china restricts the movement of 40000000 people and orders a new hospital be ready in a week. huge crowds protests in iraq's capital demanding u.s. troops get out of their country. making global warming even worse experts say australia's bushfires are contributing to one of the largest increases in greenhouse gas levels in 60 years. grieving mothers in south africa seek our

answers after at least 10 newborn babies die in the hospital within weeks. and in sports and huge day of upsets at the australian open defending champion of soccer knocked out by 15 year old. a string williams also makes an early exit. on the eve of its biggest annual holiday china has stepped up efforts to contain the spread of a new virus the central government's taken over managing it bringing in measures including closing the great wall and implementing travel restrictions the new strain of coronaviruses killed at least $26.00 people across china and infected almost $850.00 doctors fear the infection rate could saw during what is normally

the busiest time for travellers hundreds of millions celebrate the lunar new year. well the outbreak 1st emerged in who bay's provincial capital was hahn is in a transport lock down at the moment and a number of other cities in that province is also have also got in force restrictions and that's affecting a round 40000000 people but the virus continues to spread the 1st deaths outside of who bay have now been confirmed one person died in the province which borders beijing and then another in haiti jong jang cases of the coronavirus are now confirmed in almost every province of china new year's celebrations have been cancelled in cities including beijing and shanghai disneyland we shut down on saturday where the world health organization says it's not yet clear how many people are actually infected it's still too early to draw to conclusions on how severe the viruses because at the beginning of any old break you would focus more

on a severe cases and you have more of those and then maybe we are missing some mild cases because people will just be a little bit sick and will not be ever tested and they will recover so as you know we may see more mild cases as surveillance intensify so there is not so much really on the numbers that we know that will will will go up so now china is saying it will take even stricter and more targeted measures to curb the spread scott hi there is our correspondent in beijing. parts of the great wall have been closed now to tourists and visitors because of concerns of passing along this virus from people that that really aren't showing symptoms but might be carrying the virus other news coming out of the capital here beijing today the government has now put the cabinet the government's cabinet in charge of dealing with this crisis they've also appointed the head

a sars expert who led the reaction and the organisation for the combating the sars back in 2003 he is now in charge of a new group that they're putting for here again that will be controlled by the cabinet here we know that you know there are more than then a dozen cities who are in complete lockdown we know that we're getting word that reports that that even mcdonald's restaurants and 3 of these cities are on lockdown and have closed also what's very interesting is a hospital is being built in this is the epicenter of the virus now that's going to be built officials say within 6 days they broke ground late thursday night and they say that will be done early next week now this is something they did during the sars crisis as well just outside here beijing they built a hospital just to deal with cases this hospital is going to have about a 1000 beds they say but many things going on across china as are many developments on the day and this is how it unfolded. rushing to catch the last trains before the

lunar new year many of these passengers at the beijing west railway station i thinking of the coronavirus i don't think this has been properly controlled i just came back to china i read a lot of news i'm too met i'm not very satisfied with how the government prevented the disease they're afraid of getting infected i am really afraid of those people who are relieved and left but i do hope the situation to be proved. and those inside the city of han are becoming more frustrated because medical supplies are running short. and hospitals are short staffed many festivals for the lunar new year holiday have been canceled across china and not just in the central who bay province the epicenter of the virus in a rare move the government has closed the forbidden city here in beijing over health concerns related to the coronavirus something they didn't do some 17 years ago during the sars crisis. the chinese government was criticized for the way it

handled the sars virus back in 2003 mainly for its lack of transparency the world health organization has decided not to declare the current outbreak a global health emergency but there's growing concern over the coming week when the millions of people who have traveled for the holiday return again raising the risk the virus may be spread further by people who are contaminated but have yet to show symptoms scott hodler al-jazeera beijing. well hong kong health authorities say they're investigating more than 200 suspected cases of the virus and thousands of people have been turning up in the city's hospitals yesterday we have found more than 5000. and 10 this. medical been 08 is 97 percent and she is quite full but not as full as the peak of the wind the surge so right now it's likely that the but we are we perceive that after

. the long holiday usually there will be for this. not just from the isolation that but from the other things like fruit symptoms. other cough the season so as we've already mentioned chinese new year a huge celebration and adrian brown is our correspondent in hong kong and he says many people that are choosing to stay home. i am at a flower market in causeway bay in central hong kong this is an annual lunar new year event but as you can see far fewer people here this year various reasons is that the virus of course and also the ongoing political protests here in hong kong now we do have more than 200 suspected virus cases here in hong kong we have 2 people confirmed with the virus and we've been hearing today from the hospital authorities of hong kong outlining the challenges they face in trying to ensure

they have enough beds to cope with demand if indeed this fire is spread and continues to spread here they have been speaking to a doctor who represents 6000 doctors working in the public sector here in hong kong and she says you know in a good month occupancy rate in hospitals is about 9899 percent so she questions actually whether hong kong is capable of actually handling a major outbreak we have to remember that you know the hong kong china border is one of the busiest in the world hundreds of thousands cross backwards and forwards every day and in fact we learned tonight that more than 2002 groups from hong kong and china have now been canceled because of that as well as a number of carnivals and lunar new year festivals here in hong kong. right last week dr ian lipkin he's director of the center for infection and immunity at columbia university joining us via skype from new york thanks for talking to us what are the vital questions that we need to have in terms of understanding this

new strain of corona virus we don't fully understand yet the incubation period we have ideas from what we 'd know from some preliminary reports and what we've seen with sars in the past but until we really understand. how people shed the virus along the shut the virus what the tube asian period is it's very difficult to get a handle on what the risk is furthermore as pointed out by your w. 2 representative we don't really know the full spectrum of disease and what percentage of people who are exposed to this virus have severe disease versus those who develop either a mild disease or have no symptoms whatsoever at this is very important down to the till it became does that mean that we're still uncertain as to the range of symptoms that a people the people can present if they indeed have got the virus that's well

that's exactly right we know that people with severe disease have respiratory failure and we've had the fatalities chiefly amongst our literally individuals that people with underlying medical conditions it may well be that in younger healthier people it's a very mild disease right and key i suppose to working out then is the period during which a patient or should we say a carrier is that the infectious whether it's before they say symptoms all obey. that's correct and some people may have recovered and still be shedding virus and is the virus shared only in respiratory secretions is it in president saliva for example if i touch a handrail someplace how long will viable virus be present on the surface so there are many questions that need to be addressed to understand how the virus

spreads what kind of disease it causes and then last but not least we still are not certain of the reservoir of the virus in the animal kingdom one of the things that's becoming very clear is that these wild markets wildlife markets are the threat to us all this is not just with respect to this virus but to ebola and a joy to be in a wide range of other viruses to write and and how confident are you about the methods that are being used by the chinese government so far in terms of locking down cities present to preventing the travel of what nearly full 40000000 people do you think that this is the right approach well it seems draconian i appreciate that and it's difficult but i also understand why they're behaving in this way we don't have a vaccine we don't have drugs to treat this we don't understand a great deal about this virus so they're using what we would call an abundance of

caution to try to make sure that they can stop as much of this spread as they can i don't think is very challenging doc to him that can sorry for interrupting you but we have run out of time thank you so much in dave a very enlightening conversation in that can't buy insurance because it's yours. we've got a lot more to come on this al-jazeera news hour including. they don't have to do anything because they are not being held accountable. grettir totenberg takes the climate school strikes to world leaders in dallas and. will star it is an ivory coast demolish the homes of tens of thousands living near a main airport find out why. i did sports why the queen of the slates is breathing a sigh of relief. the

president rather tired bedouin has given more details about how turkey is supporting the libyan government in its months long battle with forces who are under the command of the warlord. trying to take the capital tripoli away from the internationally recognized government led by prime minister fires the raj who's head of the government of national accord well president says her key is sending military personnel to train libyan forces he made the comments in a press conference being held with the german chancellor angela merkel in istanbul . we are giving support to the legitimate government in libya in order to reignite the political process in giving support to the government international courts in line with the resolution of the e.u. when it is not a choice but a liability. to is increased his attacks in the last few days which is

a clear sign he has no intention of reconciliation. it's important for both parties in libya to reach a compromise and we hope will take positive steps to reach a cease fire we have dealt with many geopolitical issues that are of mutual concern to both their countries the meetings and the talks that have been held part and because we have managed to express our appreciation to turkey for hosting a lot of refugees more now from our correspondent jamal. both leaders emphasize the immediate need to ensure the fragile cease fire in libya continues and that all breaches that are being. witnessed are stopped there was a synergy between the messaging coming from president roger tehran and that of chancellor angela merkel where they both said that's how star that is the warlords refused to sign the cease fire agreement in moscow and the berlin agreements and

all vulnerable said that they have to have verbal e agreed to them both without a signature that's meant nothing and they couldn't trust simply his word president's order on went further by saying that the international community and specifically named egypt and the united arab emirates and some european countries had to stop supporting the run again general essentially because that's is what was making the situation even more volatile he said that his country had indeed sent a military personnel to train the libyan army and that this was an internationally recognized agreement because it was done between the turkish government and the un recognized. government in tripoli with regards to syria there was a lot of emphasis there for the need to do more to protect the civilians and it led to one mentioning that over 4 and a half 1000000 civilians are under threat from bombardment from the regina of

president bashar assad merkel said that a lot more needed to be done in terms of housing the refugees particularly with the bitter winter that they are experiencing now but there was frustration expressed by the turkish president that despite his country putting forward this proposal for the safe zone to be built within the syrian side of the border with turkey and the need to establish and build schools and hospitals and other institutions there that the international community particularly the usa and such an european cunt. he's had prevented that from happening and he said that it was high time that they changed their mind she worked as partners with the turks in order to establish that saves on finally there was some talk about relations between turkey and the european union and a new to kick start those. discussions once again albeit with little optimism being expressed by the talk of president. that iraq is have turned out in large numbers in the capital baghdad that demanding the expulsion of american

forces protests has responded to a cool by the country's most influential religious figure the shia cleric. he's calling for the u.s. military bases to be closed and u.s. warplanes to be banned from iraq. and. the cool was for a 1000000 person march and many in baghdad he did the appeal from influential shia muslim cleric so that his message is simple all americans out the march was also backed by other shia groups including his beloved whose leader. was killed alongside iranian general qassam so the money in last month's us missile attack other. this gathering you see today are. the forces that will expel the occupiers the resistance groups today showing the american occupiers we are united as one body and it is real and despite some differences in point of views we unite

as one with the telethon of. the protests was joined by people from all over southern iraq. our goal is to expel old occupiers we are standing for iraq against any intervention we want dignity and we want. the governments divided i mean terrible but should find it difficult to ignore such a large protest anti-government protests since october have already forced prime minister i'd love to be 10 ounces resignation he remains as cats take it pending a replacement leader and new elections. the americans have said they're determined to stay in iraq and at the invitation of the iraqi prime minister one of them for the songs of this protest movement is this the chorus goes really on it was a 1000000 now regardless of whether a 1000000 people are here will know it's. as bad as to send his message that he wants the u.s. troops out of iraq and he's got this kind of support behind him embark on

al-jazeera baghdad. well there was another big demonstration in the iraqi capital and our correspondent asama binge of aid was at that one it was held in tahrir square and that is a place of course which has been the center of the anti-government protests have been being held for months despite a crackdown people say they're not going away. amnesty international coming out a few hours ago saying the $600.00 protesters have been killed that is something that activists have been telling us here as well in tahrir square saying that the government numbers saying less than 500 people have been killed are very low more people have been killed 25000 people have been wounded since october and people have been coming here for months with us are a mother and daughter who have been coming to the protests for the last few months and fatima thank you very much for joining us and now tell us what is the point in you coming here you've seen a lot of death and destruction does that not scare you and what is the point in

your presence in the square honestly i am scared when i come there i come here thinking that maybe i won't return home maybe return home without and i would i'll let no one know if they come here to help out the farms that sometimes when with the help of cooking we're seeing everybody here especially the young boys helping us in fighting and putting their life for that all for us for a better country for a better world on to die just because you empathy and i need my human rights i need basic human rights so i come here fighting from a human right i had enough and it isn't up our stamping my foot down to the government it's enough that there isn't any clean while you're there about hospital the doctors don't appreciate you. there's just no basic human rights we are have electricity i go home i'm tired i want heat there's no here i go home i'm freezing i have to take a blanket and pillow it's over 123 plague it's because there's no look just the due to the government not thinking about. well from anger in iraq to anger in france

over pension reform and its continuing into what has become the country's longest period of strikes in 40 years tens of thousands of people are still marching in paris and thousands of others are doing exactly that across the country the government says the reforms are necessary to make the system more sustainable but the unions argue workers will lose out. sudan's government has signed a peace agreement with the s.p.l. l s p l m n that's a rebel group the forms part of a larger peace plan for blue nile and south kordofan regions where the sudanese people's liberation movements been fighting the government ever since 2011 that's when south sudan gained its independence from sudan talks between the rebels and the transitional government started last november almost 400000 people have been displaced by the conflict sort of our correspondent morgan nash is in the sudanese

capital khartoum and him give us more about the deal. well martin the deal has been signed by sudan's transitional government and the rebel movement sudan's people liberation movement north led by america let's remember that there are 2 factions of the s.p.l. and north and the one that signed with the sudanese government today is the one that is being led by america and who has forces in blue nile but there are still a lot of other armed groups armed rebel groups that the government is currently negotiating with what we do know is that the 2 sides have agreed to humanitarian access to areas that are under control of north under american girl they have agreed on security arrangements as in where will the forces of medical guard be situated during the transitional period and how they will be integrated into the national army and they've also agreed on compensations for the people who have been displaced and how to resettle them back to their homes so it is just the beginning

there are still a lot of other peace talks are between the government and other groups going on but for the time being this is something that both sides say they have been working for for the past 3 months thanks for that it will move their life in khartoum they are grieving parents in south africa's largest city are accusing hospital managers of hiding information about the deaths of their newborn babies the hospital in johannesburg blames drug resistant bacteria government critics say the maternity deaths highlighted underfunding in the public health care system are a metasearch reports. yes tenby is not her real name and she doesn't want to show her face because she's afraid she'll get into trouble for complaining reading this newspaper article has made her angry because it could explain why a newborn baby died at least 10 babies have died in the same hospital into bisa township in johannesburg in the past 2 months the government blames drug resistant

bacteria i think that's small unst scientists in the. information just say. they're heading information. only only thing that. is a success. the cause of the infection is unclear doctors say it could lead to pneumonia and meningitis some south africans blame hospital overcrowding understaffing and poor hygiene health department managers admit employing more nurses and doctors could help prevent more deaths but there are other issues the problems that we're dealing with these issues related to the standstill and by the tubes because when we use antibiotics when finished the force we used i did not prescribe for doctors prescribe antibiotics for any other group isn't it. our our our our our but we're not being able to this point to these doctor politics which

is if you prefer. africa's most industrialized economy is struggling to provide affordable quality health care for the majority who are poor in some neighborhoods private clinics try to ease the burden it patients can afford to pay to avoid the long queues. but there aren't enough private clinics to substitute overstressed and ill equipped statewide hospitals the government wants to introduce a national health insurance scheme to try and close the gap between the rich and the poor at the moment only a privileged few receive world class care and private little while millions of mainly poor black south africans have to rely on understaffed and overcrowded public health facilities the proposed insurance scheme boastfulness to be debated in parliament if it becomes law the state will control how much private health facilities charge make it more affordable for the poor tax rises will be needed to pay for the scheme but some economists say the country struggling economy can't afford it the ruling african national congress says universal health insurance is

to solution but the mothers who recently lost a baby say it's too late for them. after. al-jazeera to tory and. now the ranger muslims have welcomed a unanimous ruling from the un's highest court which ordered me amar to take all possible measures to prevent genocide against rangers remaining in the country the international court of justice also will give the government to preserve all evidence for a potential trial miramar says it's taken note of the ruling. well around 3 quarters of a 1000000 ranger fled to neighboring bangladesh during a military offensive against them and that was 3 years ago tanveer choudhry is in cox's bizarre in southern bangladesh which is home to hundreds of thousands of refugees he says while many don't really understand the specific legal aspects of the ruling they still feel that this is an important step. we can see the fences

around us so this is their owing i can see behind most of their own have a sense of hopelessness there and far more restrictions situation now than before the bangladesh government imposed movement restitution there's a mobile communication blackout there's no internet and there's a sense of frustration there's more than nearly 50 percent rather of the children they don't have education they have only access to some limited learning center so whole generation is going to be lost without education they want this to be resolved very quickly this is a breath of fresh air when the heart that this court ruled in favor of them they think this will facilitate it will use as a catalyst to fight their cause in repatriation but the reality on the ground is there hasn't been much movement as to fail the time. myanmar is continuously saying the issue national very thick asian card which is nothing more than saying that there are a bengali muslims that's all that said where is the myanmar rowing us here saying

that we want recognition we want security we want to be called rohingya and that we should be given citizenship we have documents from our generations and that we should be provided security there and more and more a louder call for justice this is one of the key demand that's now a lot of the ruling are saying that before we decide to go back so this judgment actually gave them a sense of hope there's something there the international community and i now recognize that there is a sense of their suffering has been recognized by the coat. lots more to come here on the out of their news hour including i'm natasha partly in paris where for some fashion design a sustainability is more than a fashion statement. and on a day of upsets in melbourne roger federer some vives a scare at the australian open hole will have to do.

with. yet more unsettled weather into the middle east at the moment the latest batch of cloud right now in the process of moving out to syria spreading across iraq going to gradually making its way over towards iraq just in bits and pieces of rain here possibly with some snow as it moves over the high ground south of that quest stiff wind here in costs that way and setting in 20 celsius in the heat of the dial sas day here in doha make the most of that sundays even a bracing 17 degrees of the same lift it dust and sand that cane wind blowing away that you're going to feel quite fresh in the process some showers over to a southern parts of iran pushing across into afghanistan as they move over the high ground the will of course turn a wintry when all the possible africa will not say many showers in the full cost

want to see showers some of the wintry over the high ground of the fall north of morocco but by and large is dry and sunny across much of the race and you might just catch one of 2 showers over towards kenya maybe into uganda as we go on over the next couple of days for the south we've seen some very heavy rain into madagascar recently with some flooding those heavy downpours are set to continue over the next couple of days. mobile technology. leading the way in the digital revolution. making a difference in the unlikeliest of places. this week tackling sexual health in south africa and the engineering social change in london inspiring young people to come tumblin soldiers to me so they're using my all techniques. the final episode of life sucks world of laughs on al-jazeera. the 21st century began

with extraordinary economic growth across much of latin america. but since this halted in 2008 there's been a political shift to the right on a continent where socialism once thrived to. a chilean politician goes on a journey to meet leading leftwing figures to understand why that politics have lost ground so dramatically. latin america a giant in turmoil on al-jazeera. to . deal with al-jazeera tavoris to take a look at the top stories here in the al-jazeera news out trying his government's

bills in even more emergency measures to try to stop the spread of a new virus transport restrictions and outfitting around $40000000.00 people on the eve of the lunar new year and that's when traditionally tens of millions of people travel. the turkish president brought up to a better one of his turkish military personnel will be said to libya to support the . internationally recognized government of fires also raj he made the comments at a press conference with the german chancellor angela merkel in istanbul. tens of thousands of people have rallied in iraq's capital against the united states military presence people responded to a cool by the sheer clerical. he controls the largest bloc in parliament. right to the united states now and democrats the jews are present their final day

of argument and president impeachment trial he's accused of withholding military aid to force ukraine to. on his rival that was the former vice president joe biden well the president denies doing anything wrong let's go live now to our white house correspondent kimberly halkett in washington d.c. said today. day 3 of the democrats presenting their case but there have been wide reports of the sentences sitting there playing games. and some of them even nodding off i mean how riveting is this for the u.s. public. yeah it's even worse for the u.s. public they're literally not paying attention the challenge is for democrats well it's an important case and one that they say is in storage that there's really a responsibility to uphold the u.s. constitution and offer a check and balance to presidential power if you can't keep these senators the

jurors engage is really a challenge for the american public is very deep in the weans very legal in terms of jargon most americans simply not paying attention and that's the challenge in all of this this is the final day for democrats to make their case right now they've been focusing on the president's behavior that he's appeared like a pro and period president and well there is the allegations that the behavior has been criminal as of high crimes and misdemeanors they say that as a broad definition to encompass these sort of broader accusations against the president that he has been acting unilaterally and not as a co-equal branch of government but again you're right the american public not very focused on this that could change it could turn into a show trial once the defense team takes the stage we expect that that could begin as early as saturday and we're also hearing that they may not take the full 3 days of those 24 hours over 3 days to argue the case this could wrap up quickly but in

trump world there is always a twist and turn so many are hoping even wondering if that might happen in terms of the 3 after x. but again for now it has been pretty state and dry right now it doesn't appear that republicans have been acquitted rather convinced and that means that this could mean the president is likely to be acquitted because of course republicans control that chamber as you say the republicans then in response they mount what is effectively the defense of the president if they're not going to take up to the 3 days but today would they work on a sunday but off the rule of then there are questions which is when the volatile issue of of new witnesses a new testimony is likely to be voted on. yeah all of that is set to take place next week following the arguments that will be mounted by the trump legal team now we do know right now there is no plan for any arguments on sunday

and saturday may even be an abbreviated session and that may have a lot to do with the president himself remember this is a reality t.v. president he's masterful when it comes to maximizing the message on the media saturdays not a good day to do that you really want to have that on a monday to friday the president's aware of that so that may be one reason that it will be an abbreviated day on saturday monday could also be abbreviated because he knows that you know what the biggest punch in the shortest amount of time because limited attention spans but i have to tell you as someone who covered the last impeachment trial for president bill clinton much of this their feeling out as they go nothing is set in stone everything of volves in fact i've asked the white house team just yesterday you know will you take the full few days to argue this they told me. maybe not it all comes down to one person we make a plan and then the president changes it so the information is only as good as president trumps last decision so it really is anyone's guess how this moves

forward all right thanks for that kimberly how could our white house correspondent with the very latest. now the activists question because slimed what she says is the action of world leaders on climate change our correspondent john holl has more now from the world economic forum in davos. according to the world economic forum the most talked about people at this year's meeting were gretta tom berg and donald trump how old is she now 17 that's what is your response to. this one point from and totenberg polar opposite of the new wave of discourse that seems to have come into its own here this week about climate change about the environment even about the old ways of capitalist thinking that have always seemed so at home here in davos we must remember that as long as we do not treat this crisis as a crisis and as long as the facts and the signs are being left completely ignored

then we will not be able to solve this crisis world leaders and c e o's many of them are responding with one in particular the billionaire founder of cloud computing giant sales force marc benioff declaring capitalism did this obsession that we have with maximizing profits for shareholders along. there's low do incredible inequality planetary emergency but among the banking giants some like citibank and goldman sachs pushed back against calls by climate activists to stop funding the biggest polluters that after greenpeace called out a number of banks represented at davos for having lent $1.00 trillion dollars to fossil fuel producers since the paris climate accord was signed in 2015 so how much of it is hypocrisy a green cloak of virtue behind which old fashioned deals are still being done on

climate there are meaningful moves by some private sector leaders that will actually make a difference not only in terms of what they do but will actually force others competitors in their sectors to not be left behind so yes i find that meaningful but if you ask me is the deal making changing is capitalism dead frankly in a world where the economy is getting a little softer they're focusing more on their bottom lines this year's davos has witnessed a confrontation between the decision makers and the young who will have to live with those decisions. they may not be winning yet but their impact is growing so how does iraq in the swiss alps. the british weather experts are sounding the alarm about the global effect of the bushfires in australia the u.k.'s met office is forecasting one of the largest annual increases in atmospheric greenhouse gas levels since records began and that was more than 60 years ago the meteorologists say the vast scale of

the bushfires is accelerating the rise in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere c o 2 levels are already well past the $400.00 parts per 1000000 limit seen by climate scientists as the point of no return well we've been speaking to richard betts who's head of climate impact research at the mess office and he says the bush fires are adding carbon dioxide directly to the atmosphere but the biggest impact will come from the loss of vegetation. the rise in city every year is driven by human emissions normally some of it will be soaked up by natural ecosystems but that's weaker this year because of particular weather patterns and part of that is the australian bushfires and the bushfires we estimate that's increased the c.t.y. is about 2 percent than they would have been without so noticeable contribution so . ecosystems need to be protected to help reduce c

o 2 but the only really way real way of stopping the rise is to stop burning fossil fuels this acceleration of the sea to rise this year won't have any immediate effects but what it does show is that the there's potential for feedbacks in the system vicious cycles if you like we rely on natural ecosystems to soak up some of our c o 2 emissions if they get weaker then the rise of c o 2 in the future could be faster and therefore that could accelerate climate change in the future. the borders as of demolished thousands of makeshift homes surrounding the busiest airport in ivory coast main city aboriginal government leaders say they were built illegally and were actually a safety hazard but they're now newly made homeless say they weren't given enough warning to get out lower burden many reports. desperate to futile scramble to save their homes. within

a few hours nothing but. people try to salvage what little is left to the authorities these makeshift houses were built illegally but for the people here this was home 1 and many don't know where to go. but these men are asking why did they do this where will they sleep what kind of country is this where those with air conditioned homes are destroying people's homes but the sand it's also their livelihoods they've all been able to evacuate those few chickens but many died they surprised us and started to demolish they broke everything. this was once part of the labyrinth of homes that house tens of thousands it's situated on the outskirts of a big german international airport that's where earlier this month teenager.
