al-jazeera. hello i'm adrian for the good in this is that he is live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes 99 more cases of coronavirus been confirmed on board a cruise ship in japan as hundreds of american passengers evacuated from it lands safely back in the u.s. . is up to libya's revolution of no closer to a lasting peace when live in tripoli to see what lies ahead plus. people don't trust the police outrage in brazil over the rise in the number of police killings. of watching the outside from within because of the heart of moscow's high tech face

recognition surveillance system. for porto's strike. describes a rival fans as idiots after being targeted with racist abuse international walked off the pitch in protest during the game in portugal. china's military is sending hundreds of doctors and nurses to work on the epicenter of the outbreak as the country grapples with new cases of more deaths from the corona virus the numbers are huge take a look at this truck from the john hopkins university now the red circles show the extent of the outbreak in china alone nearly 2000 more infections were reported on sunday bringing the total on the mainland to over $71000.00 more than $1770.00 people have died so far the world health organization is sending its

own team of experts to beijing in 2 provinces there and for the 1st time in recent history china is considering delaying its annual congress the year's biggest political meeting. japan has come for $99.00 some of the infections on board a quarantined cruise ship in yokohama ports and that's taken the total number of cases there so of the $500.00 hundreds of american passengers have been planned back home 14 among them a confirmed to have the virus but not all passengers have chosen to leave those on the quarantine a posting videos like these as they remain stuck on that ship well matthew smith is one of those who still on board he says that he was worried about getting the virus if he'd left the ship with other people and essentially we decided that the circumstances in which they were going to provide the flight and the requirement that we do another to eat corn team is that we hadn't done one already just was not

acceptable to us and in fact the news now that they put 14 infected people on the flight with everyone else it just confirmed to us that they weren't really providing a safe method of transportation back to the united states everyone is directed to remain in their cabins the exception is for those who have indoor and inside cabins and just window cabins they are provided an opportunity to go on deck there are protocols to keep them apart i don't know how well they are succeeding i don't know but in terms of that we have remained in our cabin now for 2 weeks and have not crossed the threshold no one's going inside and we do go out on our balcony but if there are other people on surrounding balconies we tend to come right back inside so as to maintain the isolation that prevents the spread of the virus so a clock is standing by for us in hong kong with us let's go to washington zeros kimberly how could for more of those u.s. evacuees so 2 flights kimberly have landed back in the u.s.

with the past and just from that cruise ship what happens to them now. well the clock starts all over again for another mandatory quarantine period now this is something that the white house put in place with its coronavirus task force in terms of these not only travel restrictions but also the in-force quarantine this will take place on military bases inside the united states we know that california and texas the 2 locations in this particular instance but there are other military facilities that are also on standby should there need to be more americans that are in fact needing quarantine now the reason that the united states has put in place what some consider to be quite draconian measures is because of the nature of this virus in a white house briefing they explained and were very open and honest about the fact that they simply don't understand this virus fully they are aware that there is a symptomatic spreading that means that

a person who appears relatively normal and healthy could in fact in fact another person and that is why the white house is defending these inforce quarantines that are now set to take place for these new evacuees for t.v. of those repatriates of the reporters who tested positive for the virus how the people in the states feel about these people returning to the country they're infected. there's mixed reaction for those americans that are informed there is concern about just how far this could broaden as and there's also concern among many americans who simply don't understand this there's a lot of ignorance because there's been very little information up until now many americans have sort of taken the standpoint that this is something that exclusive to china which we know isn't the case but that's sort of the perception here but

now with passengers landing that are infected there is this new fear and some perhaps would even say missed place here in terms of the understanding because you have to remember the population of the united states is this is more than 300000000 and the fact that we're talking about just a few isolated cases that this point puts it into some perspective but again the fact that there is so little understanding about a vaccine the fact that there is a new wave of flu that is just the typical flu taking place here in the united states has caused some health officials to feel a little bit wary that some americans may misunderstand this ordinary flu with the corona virus so there's a lot of public health education that needs to take place now that there are these infected americans that have landed on u.s. soil or it could be many thanks they can really help at that live for us in washington let's bring in sara clock then in hong kong starting with developments on the mainland in china sara a china thinking about postponing its annual people's congress the biggest annual

political gathering what's the thinking behind that. well the government is all but confirmed that will go ahead and postpone the national people's congress meeting of this bush angel of march 5th the around $3000.00 delegates attend this and then you could also consider the fact there's a huge number of stuff and other deputies that attend this particular gathering in beijing potentially up to 8000 people should be there what have been there in the past now a jew should the extraordinary situation we have in the ongoing spread of this infection across china bicycle the announcement today is that they going to reconsider this particular this meeting going ahead and unfavorite $24.00 which is next monday they will make that decision on whether it will go ahead or not now at this stage the government has said at least one 3rd of those delegates currently on the front line across china dealing with the battle of the infection rate increasing in the various provinces across the china so the risk of proceeding

simply at this stage considered potentially too high to go ahead as you mentioned earlier a couple of other different developments in china the world health organization has confirmed that it will send its own delegation of experts to beijing and to other provinces those being a fish one and the gone down province but one little bit of good news among some other grim news across today that a drug that was being trials to treat or certainly. assist the crowd of ours infection it has proved effective and after the protests we saw over the weekend what's the latest hong kong. well sadly we've had one more case of the infection being confirmed in hong kong that's now and 58 cases here in the city it's been a slow rise of a certain increase a slow increase across the city i should say a lot of those transmissions have been locally transmitted as opposed to imported cases from mainland china and that this particular rise to slow rises is continuing

to fuel consumer anxiety and consumer panic buying we've had a number of items including rice which has been stripped off the shelves in supermarkets we've also had faced indefinitely in short supply but also the lightest thing in an ongoing the last 4 days but so is surge in demand of the last couple of days has been the demand for toilet paper and the supermarkets are running out and being fuelled by rumors and i've not we had quite extraordinary development where we had 2 men arrested for stealing 600 rolls of toilet paper from a supermarket and now these particular men that were actually not wielding robbers now they're still looking for 3 more people but as you can see it's desperate times in hong kong when it comes to supplies of the essential items including toilet paper al-jazeera sir clark reporting live from hong kong sara many thanks indeed the world health organization says that it's concerned by what it calls an inflow demick that's the misinformation fake news overall uncertainty about the growth of

virus that's spreading faster than the disease itself zeroes under chapelle reports . rumors about emerging diseases can and do have real world consequences with so much information out there on social media both accurate or not it can be difficult to find trustworthy sources of information and what the world health organization is calling an info demick about the coronavirus is they say just as dangerous as the disease itself it's impossible to predict which direction this is. with. above the level of rumor and misinformation that how they respond to w.h.o. says false information about prevention measures or fake so-called cures are potentially harmful to public health it's using the hash tag know the facts to dispel some of the most dangerous rumors such as concerns that pets can spread the corona virus to people there's no published evidence of that it's another fake fact that it's unsafe to receive packages from china or that sesame oil garlic or gargling

mouthwash can protect you no evidence of that either or that inhaling smoke and gas from fireworks can kill the virus definitely don't do that the u.n. children's agency says rumors about polio vaccines are one of the reasons why the virus hasn't been eradicated in afghanistan or pakistan parents in remote areas hear the rumor and don't vaccinate their kids social media allows misinformation to spread faster than ever before and sometimes fake information comes from more traditional sources with political motives numerous russian t.v. stations have spread the conspiracy theory that corona virus is a bio weapon intended to weaken china's economy internet trolls and conspiracy theories say the us health agency undermine the global response news organizations and social media platforms are helping counter the spread of misinformation facebook and instagram has got its army of fact checkers working while twitter is directing its users who search for coronavirus information to credible institutions

such as government health website. it's finally the organizers of the year's most anticipated event the olympic games in tokyo want to make it clear don't believe everything you read online to touch with regard to the coronavirus which started in china's hu by province there are many irresponsible rumors but i would like to make it clear again that we are not considering postponing or canceling the games. and her chappelle reporting that this is the news hour still to come on the program. this was an agonizing decision for us and one that we didn't make the lightly or easily we look at why auto giant general motors has announced that it's shutting down plants and pulling out of new zealand destroyer and thailand. families displaced by genocide in sudan still darfur region still struggling to survive 17 years on look at why.

i did support president trump overseas a false start and one of america's most famous most races. people in libya marking the 9th anniversary of the start of the revolution that eventually topple moammar gadhafi large crowds took to the streets of the capital tripoli waving flags and playing music but despite the years the power vacuum that followed gadhafi his death still continues to fuel violent conflict the country is no closer to last in peace but overall the mood among libyans is mixed let's take you live now to tripoli i was there as my hotel for one had heard many people in the capital feel that there's nothing worth celebrating today. there is still more to come here we've been told that thousands are expected to

come here to the main square this is the martyrs square in the libyan capital to celebrate and marking the 9th anniversary of the. revolution that ousted the former dictator and the organizers here tell us that the program of this year is packed with shows including. songs that will be played by. bands and also traditional songs along. with the national songs that are linked with this event is a father of lucia but what is interesting to hear today that this anniversary is that they're celebrating to have a protest within that celebration a little while ago we heard the celebrators marching around and chanting again is the world latifa have to be playing songs that it denouncing their military moves but have to his forces in the capital tripoli and meanwhile praising the volcano of

rage of wrath operation that's the counter offensive that has been launched by the government forces to. do to. defend the capital tripoli against. forces but again that the people here and this say that they are determined to celebrate this anniversary despite all the conflict in the country despite all the fighting that have been going on over the past 8 years it seemed that the people here including those who lost their loved ones in all the fighting the only all these conflicts over the past years they determined to celebrate they say that that evolution is still ongoing and they will continue celebrating until the revolution at sheaves all its goals are pretty many thanks indeed undeserved mark with what had in tripoli as many libyans mock the revolutions out of a serious some as we said so that they have nothing to celebrate after 10 months of constant attacks will come if i have to launched an offensive back then to take the

capital tripoli child stratfor that's meant some who've been forced from their homes but are unsure if they can ever go back. half built to neglected for almost a decade these towers are on feet for habitation more than a 100 families who have fled fighting on the outskirts of libya's capital shelter here and now this tiny room is where samir elma had he and her 2 children have lived for the last 3 months there's no electricity or running water samir a says her son used to be top of his class at school but the school was closed because of the fighting she described what happened when she tried to return to her home with her daughter to collect more of their belongings. i swear the horror that this little girl has seen no other child has witnessed in all of libya the whole building in front of us collapsed the bombs were coming from all sides our home was completely destroyed we could have been killed. the nation

says that more than 150000 people have been forced to flee their homes since general haftar started is offensive only to tripoli in april more than 600 people have been killed or injured now many libyans will be celebrating the anniversary of a revolution that overthrew gadhafi at the same time as the country is ensuring what many describe a civil war. international efforts to pull just cease fire the failed renegade general hoodie for half the states his offensive against the u.n. backed government based in tripoli will continue. families attend an event organized by government forces to honor their son's killed defending the capital how much a conses he still dreams of peace and a unified libya well i don't know when i heard my son had been killed i was shocked

but i hope god willing that he just like so many others who died for this country will be deemed a martyr and in next year's revolution anniversary will be better and all libyans can celebrate one unified libya where we and generations to come come across. back in their tiny cold room in the town samir a says thousands of families like us have nothing to celebrate. the children that there are so many tragedies huge problems and there's people suffering even more than us i don't have any hope left there is no security to why and what all the celebrated another generation too young to understand can only wait for the peace and prosperity that was promised to their parents almost a decade ago. tripoli. syrian state media says that government forces have recaptured parts of aleppo province that once controlled by rebels president bashar al assad's forces have made significant

gains over the past several days they've seized the strategic m. 5 highway that links aleppo with major cities turkey backs a section of the opposition and it's trying to stop the advances of opposition fighters who've left those areas in aleppo and neighboring italy now see ankara's increased involvement as the only way to regain lost ground. reports now from her say on turkey's border with syria. these are fighters from the national liberation front a rebel alliance backed by turkey outgunned and outnumbered the fighters seek refuge behind a newly erected embankment on the other side government troops are stepping up their campaign. thought more. we are consolidating our defense lines setting up small flexible command centers most of the factions are coordinating

their operations and are in is to drag government forces into our own area fighting has surged over the last few days president bashar al assad's forces have regained control of many areas in and. their advance infuriated turkey which accuses assad of violating the terms of a cease fire agreement turkey signed with russia and iran 2 years ago unka has sent more troops into it and expanded its military outposts despite that damascus insists its campaign won't stop turkey's growing involvement in the syrian conflict is welcomed by the rebels who see it as an opportunity for a counter offensive. we are still fighting to prevent assad's army and the militias backing him from destroying our villages and defecting civilians the morale of our fight is high and we are all determined to defeat assad the rebels have been

weakened by internal fighting and divisions the national liberation front is one among many to action and operating in rebel held territory. is the most powerful it's an alliance of many groups with a strong presence in italy and hash joins us now live from turkey's border with syria and what's happened to the people who are living in that area. those people are bracing for the worst to come if the syrian government decides to move ahead with this offensive and take over which is the last remaining stronghold and control of the rebel today the syrian army said that it was determined to take over all the areas under control of the rebel saying that he's fight against what he described as terrorists and this is sending shock waves across those areas and

panic among the civilians some of them stranded in hundreds of thousands have moved to the border with turkey very much concerned because this time they have nowhere to go the border the border with turkey is sealed so it is not going to allow further refugees into the country and these people have nowhere to go and they are concerned about returning to areas under the control of the syrian government because they fear retaliation now those stranded in the border area. feel increasingly betrayed by the international community they say that the immediately need blankets water food stoves to heat their makeshift tents and the weather condition have been very hard over the last few days in this northern part of syria and this explains why people are very concerned but adrian the problem is that the international community has little. opportunities in the near future for them to be

able to move into these areas and provide significant assistance to the civilians they need some reassurances that there will be no fighting there will be a cease fire implemented on those areas and this is what the russians and the turks are trying to. to come up with in the coming days but it's a very delicate situation just a while ago the government has intensified its military campaign pounded rebel held territory in daraa is that there's a video circulating now among the activists in that place with a civilian who has been with 3 from the rubble and he was basically saying let me die because i've had enough of this miserable life i think this sums up the mood the sentiment among the hundreds of thousands of syrians who are now stranded on those areas al-jazeera is reporting live from the border between turkey and syria has many thanks indeed. car manufacturer general motors is pulling out of australia

new zealand and thailand as part of its years long global restructuring effort across all 3 countries the company employs almost 2 and a half 1000 people g.m. is expected to wind down operations in all 3 countries by next year they are also plans to make similar changes in japan russia and europe general motors says it's focusing on more lucrative markets of north america china. regrettably despite the tireless work of many good people the business case could not meet jim's investment threshold. factors where he gets further investment holden included the highly fragmented domestic markets for the raw and drop product. the economics of supporting the brand. and obviously getting to an appropriate level of return on our investment foreign fix is an automotive analyst based in the united states she explains why general motors has is making 70 changes your entire but

a brand such as holden you've watched their numbers drop from 12 percent over the last 10 years dropped on a 9 percent market share so you're not selling the vehicle it's because consumers don't want that products specifically or not unfortunately it means that they have to shut down plants in this case they're literally stopping producing the name holden which is a pretty historic name in australia but shutting down plants means jobs but you've got to save money for a company that just went through 40 days of a shutdown with the u.a.w. amongst other issues they've got to look at where they're making money and where they're not and cut their losses they're looking at a global restructuring so when they're looking at where we make money where we're not making money where we have market share recently they sold off opel to p.s.a. and p.s.a. actually made a very great success out of it but in the case of john waters it just wasn't selling under the name and that styling so they're going to have specialty cars in those markets depending upon what that market needs whether it's trucks cars or worse or performance you know such as the new corvette but i think it's going to be

better for them to cut back and better get a new grip on those countries before trying to you know just spend money if they're not making it back it doesn't make any sense at all especially when it comes to tyra they should have done this years ago mary barra's to choose going to do it when she became c.e.o. and you know you can't just you know pull the trigger a large company like this is a lot of plans that have to be put into play and a lot of people that need to be communicated with in this case it took this long which is quite a bit longer than expected. now take a look at this from south korea's capital seoul which just recorded its heaviest single day snowfall of the season that's according to the country's weather agency below freezing temperatures from to the authorities to issue warnings. on the other side of the world the remnants of dennis are still blowing their way through well much of north western europe his tell us more is meteorologist everson folks f yeah that's right adrian could get a little bit of snow across parts of northern europe over the next couple days but it's really about the wind over the next few days and some bits and pieces of right

take a look at the satellite picture here you can see we're actually by and large in the clear see how the british isles standing out quite nicely and we've got this band of cloud here that's going to be making its way further south which in asia that is associated of course with dennis say even though we are in the clear it is largely dry now a few blustery showers we still have quite a few warnings in force $232.00 flood warnings 3 severe flood warnings in force that is an improvement so it's going in the right direction but we're certainly not out of the woods just yet you can see that speckling of shower cloud which will come through they will rattle across northern parts of europe as we go on through the coming days out blue line here that is a cold front that will continue to sink further south which through the remainder of monday some more wet weather coming through here there we go without showers some of them wintry over the higher ground in the movie we move on into choose day weather system down towards the south like a strong out it's always starts to dry out across southern parts we'll still see

some wet weather over towards ukraine too was russia by this stage that western side of russia by wednesday we're looking at more wet weather pushing in across the region and then more wet and windy weather for the last part of the week adrian. ever so many thanks indeed still to come here on the news hour well look at why thousands of cannot accept and disqualified from standing in iran this upcoming election. and in sport the former world number one getting ready for the 1st competitive match in more than 70 years. talk to al jazeera let me talk about 2 of the biggest problems facing and they all the endemic corruption around the can we listen so if you really put place china's enemy a couple more years and that's really daniel's we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on the edges era the u.s.

is always of interest the people the world people pay attention to what now does it is very good to bring the news to the world from here frank assessments the one good thing about these bushfires usage really wiping out the politics of climate change informed opinions economy i think is actually what's keeping donald trump afloat right now critical debate sequel on those 2 school board lawyers on a bogus argument is astonishingly patronising in-depth analysis of the day's headlines this is the beginning of the new iraq of the new conscious and aware of that struggle against an ethnic sectarian culture inside story on al-jazeera.

hello again adrian forget here in doha with the news out from al-jazeera the headlines for the 1st time in recent history china is considering a delay to its annual congress the is biggest political meeting that says the number of new cases on the mainland rises again with 82000 more confirmed on sunday . libyans are marking the 9th anniversary of the start of the revolution that eventually toppled normal gadhafi but despite the years violent conflict persists in the country is no closer to lost and peace. and syrian state media says the government forces have ceased most of the areas of aleppo province that was under the control of rebels russian air strikes assisted in that push the turkish to the geishas resume talks in moscow to discuss the military escalation in aleppo and it provides this. breaking news for you now at least 8 people are reported to have been killed in a blast in pakistan it happened at a rally in the western city of queso more than

a dozen others have been wounded the details still fairly sketchy at the moment with people here working to work to confirm the numbers and the details will we'll get back to you with more on that breaking news as soon as we can now syria. now a growing number of asian countries a feeling the economic pressure of the corona virus outbreak china is rolling out tax incentives to encourage companies to reopen while hong kong has pledged additional economic measures in japan the economy has shrunk at its fastest pace in 5 years and there are fears of a recession after 2 straight quarters of decline singapore's prime minister has said the recession is also possible that analysts are predicting it could run its biggest deficit in more than a decade and in cambodia where the economy is strongly depended upon beijing the government is warning of job losses of zeros wayne hale reports. the

skyline in cambodia is capital phnom penh has changed dramatically in recent years buildings went up rapidly as the money flowed mainly from china. but china's economy is grinding to a halt making for uncertain times for many including the 200000 cambodians employed in the construction sector. i'm so worried if. i would find another one. it would be tough for me to pay the. there's even more uncertainty for those in the garment industry which is facing setbacks on 2 fronts the european union will place tariffs on some footwear including it imports from cambodia because of a deterioration in democracy and workers' rights the industry employs almost 800000 people and relies on chinese investment and raw materials with many suppliers in china closing down because of the spread of coronavirus cambodia's government says

some of its factories will suspend operations for as long as 3 months as many as 90000 people may lose their jobs temporarily in recent years china has become more influential and more invested in southeast asia from tourism to construction to manufacturing but even before the corona virus outbreak as the chinese economy was slowing governments in this region were beginning to wonder if they were becoming too reliant on china. singapore's prime minister lee hsien loong says because china is a much bigger factor in the region than it used to be his country's economy could dip into recession this year as visitor numbers drop by as much as 30 percent thailand's economy was already stuttering and may also be nearing recession with growth hitting for less than 2 percent and vietnam's manufacturing sector depends on a well oiled supply chain from china in january exports fell more than 17 percent but some experts believe the threat extends well beyond this region or countries in the

world depends on what action especially in the united states and europe importer a lot from china and when china has a problem they will have inflation they're the same thing so that is not. for. the for the world. the wealthy may be able to ride it out but it is perhaps tougher for those living on the edge of poverty who could easily slip backwards in the event of a regional or global economic shock in cambodia there are millions in that category and as corona virus spreads in china and beyond the economic contagion is also worsening wayne hay al jazeera phnom penh. iran's parliamentary elections sets take place this friday but much of the attention has been on candidates who've been disqualified from standing more than 7000 we're told the current running dozens of current members of parliament of zeros are so big reports from tehran coming to

terms with life outside of politics after 4 years as a parliamentarian that he has now been told he can't stand for reelection he says he was told by the guardian council the body that oversees iran's elections it's because he does not a baby establishment he rejects that and says he was surprised by the council's decision they didn't want to it wasn't very unexpected for me considering how the guardian council make decisions they didn't provide me with complete evidence and they made notes of comments on the media and my tweets due to some of my speeches and tweets over recent incidents it seems like they paid attention to them. others say being a committed parliamentarian doesn't guarantee candidacy wildhorse initial law says for example a candidate should have a good reputation and be committed to the constitution these are not issues one can prove in court the guardian council should see if one is committed to the constitution or not. out of the 81 members of parliament barred from re standing it's many politicians from the reformist movement who have been singled out they

say they want the public's political system to be more open and democratic but that's opposed by conservatives who argue change isn't needed this level of disqualifications has not been seen since the 2004 parliamentary elections when conservatives won the majority of the seats that's led to increased criticism of the council the vetting process and calls for reform. the guardian council's interference has hurt its position and damage his reputation and unlike what they say it's because of the interests of the establishment in parliament should reflect people's voices and people's voices have variety they should lead different opinions be present in the parliament it will lead to a dynamic parliament where people's hope one of the reasons that there's a predicted low turnout is because people feel disappointed in the guardian council has rejected criticism that its decisions are politically motivated and some predict conservatives are set to make gains in this election president rouhani has put forward a motion for a referendum on the vetting power of the guardian council but if conservatives win

the majority of seats in these elections that motion is unlikely to pass and the status quo will continue setting the stage for next year's presidential elections and a possible change and political direction. al-jazeera the her on. joining us now. has a visiting fellow at the brookings doha center who specializes in iranian politics welcome good to have you with us how is it you got a reformist president in power in iran how is it that hardliners are able to exert so much influence over who and who doesn't stand for parliament because the presidency and the parliament so far have. been controlled by the opposing side of the hardliners which are the moderates have been backed by the reformists and the hardliners do control the majority of the most important institutions in the song the public including the guardian council that has disqualified more than half of the candidates running for the parliamentary elections most of them being so-called moderates so how much support in the country from from just ordinary voters to

these hardliners have how popular are they i think both main factions of the regime are in big trouble there there is increasing anger and frustration both the hardliners and the moderates because of their handling of the country because of their handling also of the protests in november which was followed by legal crackdowns and most recently the hardliners have been much criticised including the r.g.c. for the shooting down of the passenger jet so this is you know very much impacting the general mood so this is why the hardliners of the past few years have been trying to you know put forward a new a younger generation of potential runners influence just what state media. in iran have in the election was propaganda people. people faced with well i mean 1st of all most iranians do rely on sources other than state media for you

know foreign persian language sources but also a lot of the social networks were a lot of you know political information and debates are being conducted with the state media does this trying to really you know have to urge people to go to the ballot boxes because what the ruler is fear is a low participation rate so so the state media is trying to appeal on the national sentiments one of the mottos is strong elections a strong iran and so they're trying you know with adorned with some. nationalistic hymns trying to people to come to the ballot boxes claiming that people's voices would matter but they do face a lot of. a crisis of legitimacy ok we've got to move on but just very briefly we were going to get a low turnout that we people going to show that is pledged by not turning out well you never know about the official figures so there is also some you know element of

many palatial and so we have to see and wait ok really good still too many thanks indeed thank you israel's prime minister says that an israeli civilian airliner has flown through sudan's aspace for the 1st time benjamin netanyahu says that it's another example of warning ties with hostile states the 2 nations are technically at war sudan has been part of a decades long arab boycott against israel's illegal occupation of palestinian land and breakthrough followed a surprise meeting in uganda earlier this month. sudan's to post president omar bashir is standing trial for war crimes in the darfur region more than 17 years of war of left hundreds of thousands of people dead a true 1000000 displaced transitional government is now pushing for peace with rebel groups and that's important for the families who are still struggling to survive out of there as his old stuff from old stuff. years ago dreamed of

a stable life where her family would have enough for their name instead she was displaced by darfur's or she and her children have left the displacement camps in western sudan and now live in florida a village in north darfur but she says she and her family are still suffering from the effects of the conflict. there are no schools for our kids to go to so none of them receive any kind of education there are no hospitals so we have to walk for miles or hitch a ride from cars passing by to take us to the nearest hospital even for water we have to walk for 2 hours because there is no pump in our village. the war in darfur started in 2003 when ethnic tribes in the region rebelled against the government it led to more than 300000 people being killed and over 3000000 displaced the war was labeled a genocide by the international criminal court which issued 3 arrest warrants for the then president. now this western region is dotted with dozens of riches some
