200000 in just 18 days a recent upsurge in community transmission in more than half of the 54 countries in africa affected country. more than $68000.00 cases and isn't section spread to be big cities and into rural areas there are health systems and also quipped. systems across the continent would struggle to cope with severe outbreaks. how countries in particular 3 being the hot spots. and. the cases we're going to see in. just such a time. right now. and. cases reside at least 10 countries on the continent but what is

clear is that even. the whole system in africa. probably see. cases in the coming weeks because of the system in africa and we're talking about. some of the poorest in the world live and probably 5 to 6 people. small group. here. the situation would be a very very difficult thing you're talking about a country. of millions of citizens have to go out every day. in order to put food. in such a situation it only takes one. community. dave

you have. almost everybody in the community right now the largest concentration of restrictions in the city of the cup human weakness which is you know if we go well nicholas nixon something else competent to call for the picture is a worrying one way you are nick real concerned about how the country's medical infrastructure can cope with toll. well right i mean before the outbreak even started people here were struggling i mean the health center with struggling there's only one radiotherapy sheet for example for an entire country and that was broken before the pandemic but during the outbreak the health system here have managed to slow the curve but right now doctors are telling us that the situation is dire there are no longer any beds available for new patients they're running out of hydrochloric queen which is used to treat patients and so it comes at a time when the government here and in other countries in west africa are easing restrictions

just last week there were protests in senegal because people were more scared about the economic crisis that's looming and trying to feed feed their their families then the coronavirus itself so there's an easing of restrictions on that and the health authorities here fear there will be an uptick of cases and of course the fear here and also in other countries in the region is this sign that transmission so there's a lot of focus so on trying to detect people who have the virus but very little on people who have had the virus so there's many people out there that don't have the symptoms of the corona virus and yet are infected and chances are they're infecting the population so that's an area that the health authorities here are warning that they're worried about there's also the worry from. health workers and aging aid agencies what's happening in this hell where we've seen 5500000 people displaced.

in the last year there is no health coverage people live in close proximity and there's fear that the virus could spread even more and no one is keeping a tally of what's happening there in terms of people who are dying from the virus itself so people here in senegal and health authorities are worried of what is to come so nicholas conduct thanks for the update. on the show you know is the image of the operations manager for the world health organization enough he says early estimates of up to 3300000 deaths from covert 19 can still be avoided. this is. particularly bizarre on they was having a sustained community transmission and we vote in the appropriate measure but i think since the beginning. they want to think would think that we're not dissing their african countries is that they move to outlaw song of measures of course are feds also communities that is now triggering the there is but in

india in general we cannot just out what we are observing is real oh well that's what was predicting based on the worst case scenario but we should not be complacent this situation was to really deteriorate we dove. head facilities being totally overwhelmed so we may not have. faced some tough in numbers but we have quite a good proxy that is also showing you what is the situation and how the situation is evolving and i think based on that the process probably think is to continue having strong public health measures including early detection and management of cases what we are strongly advising countries that we need to put in

place measures that can help us to my knowledge of it as well as dealing with. health conditions we cannot afford to stop savitz is like a vaccination treatment of malaria tb and this is so obvious trash their resources but a country is to try to see how they can while scaling up restaurants to cause the. continuities of of our services that are critical for africa. now the international court of the the job of prosecuting war crimes and genocide is not being punished by the us president donald trump is imposing sanctions on officials from the international criminal court because of their investigation into the actions of u.s. soldiers in afghanistan this was secretary of state might pump air making the announcement for a time it looked like the i.c. might do the right thing and kill the investigation but last spring the prieto chamber unanimously rejected the prosecutor's request to open the investigation but

unfortunately then in the spring in march the appeals chamber overturned that sound judgment and gave a green light to the current investigation effectively eliminating constraints on the prosecutor's office ability to launch new investigations of americans in the future. we cannot we will not stand by as our people are threatened by a kangaroo court and indeed i have a message to many close allies around the world your people could be next the united nations has reacted to president trump's executive order we've taken note with concern reports of the executive order authorizing sanctions against certain individuals at the international criminal court. there were also aware that they had been previous statements by the u.s. secretary of state mike. that any restrictions take it against individuals would be implemented consistently with the host countries obligations under the u.n.

headquarters agreed will obviously continue to follow very closely any developments on this issue my kind of our correspondent joins me now from washington d.c. so no one really interim sent to circle mincing their words mike uncertain on the verge of anger as we heard in light pomp a tone what do you think the sanctions actually mean in reality now. well it's a very difficult question to answer because you did following the president's executive order senior members of his cabinet lined up to give a news conference including secretary of state mike on pay or the attorney general the national security adviser the secretary of defense but they took no questions they said that certain individuals would be designated for the sanctions as outlined by president trump perhaps the withdrawal of visas preventing them from traveling to the united states but they gave no further detail than that they did

not name any names or isolate any particular individuals to whom these sanctions would apply so at this stage it's basically a general intention that has been outlined but the fact that all these senior cabinet ministers stepped up members of the cabinet is a sign of how seriously the trump administration views the situation this has been brewing for a long period of time the secretary of state might pompei of a particular fork against the i.c.c. so certainly this is something that the trump administration has seized on to make a huge display of u.s. discontent with the possibility of its soldiers being tried before the i.c.c. as well for the thanks very much what kind of a in washington d.c. . the tension between the i.c.c. and the united states is nothing new when the court was formed in 2002 the u.s. never signed up although american citizens do fall under its jurisdiction if the court is investigating crimes in countries that have joined in 2017 the i.c.c.

prosecutor toobin sudha said she wanted to investigate possible war crimes committed by u.s. troops in afghanistan the following year president dalton criticized the court at the un in a wide ranging speech that condemned globalism but continued to pursue the allegations and in retaliation her u.s. visa was revoked. to cancel visas for anyone involved in an investigation against american citizens bruce fein is a former united states associate deputy attorney general and an international lawyer joins me now via skype from washington d.c. always good to have you on the program mystified i mean what do you make of the u.s. statement and sanctions against the i.c.c. . i think it's the culmination of our evolution from a republic to an empire that believes that we live by our standards and our alone i

don't think that we should look at this particular act of mr trump in isolation i recall in the aftermath of the iraq invasion in 2003 belgium at that time head a universal crime statute that exposed to anyone in the world to prosecution in belgium for crimes against humanity for torture extradition killings and when several u.s. officials including donald rumsfeld were named as targets mr rumsfeld traveled to brussels said if you don't repeal the law in 24 hours we are taking nato headquarters out of brussels and the law was repealed the united states is ready to jettison the nato we don't pay any attention to world court resolutions we believe that there's $1.00 standard that applies to us and others standards to other people how does it is remarked a final question i might stick with funk let's jump in that how does that undermine

the position of the united states when it perceives itself to be the leader of the free world that it's also not up to scrutiny when its nationals may have committed crimes on international soil what message is that sending out to the international community that america can call out to iran and china in venezuela but it can look to itself. yeah well the message is going to be received by other countries not cooperating with us and it won't be basically a license that the united states as long as you do what they tell them that you you can commit whatever human rights violations you want for example mr el sissy in egypt is just one amongst many other examples or n.b.s. in saudi arabia but we are going to receive a blow back i know that at present the british have ceased cooperation in sharing information regarding the persons that we want extradited here because we have the

death penalty and because britain now it feels that why should they be returning individuals to a system which doesn't necessarily comply with due process when it comes to terrorism cases and it will do who is mr pompei o to describe the international criminal court as a so-called kangaroo court we have in the past supported the i.c.c. when they prosecuted people we didn't like and of course its procedures are modeled after those of the so-called nuremberg tribunal that we established with 3 other allies after world war 2 to try the nazi war criminals and one that was parallel in japan so this is just this a the culmination of an empire the strides that were like a colossus we do whatever we want international law is whatever we say it is and no other country can do anything about it because we have military and economic might so now it's back to the rule the strong do what they can the weak suffer what they

must have been around for 2000 years ok so the hair now then mystified how about those who seek you might say to get help. as it is from the afghan government when the i.c.c. may want to go that to investigate does that not put for example afghanistan in a very difficult position where i might want to help the i.c.c. because it's not and it's country one justice for those that have been killed and they think killed improperly and i'm more fully and then on the other hand you've got the u.s. i. yes it does it listen afghanistan basically is a couple of the united states and the fact is they have no leverage the government probably would fall in an instant if we removed our last remaining troops there so what should what this got to do or how can it threaten the united states i mean we dropped a mother robot arms there committed war crimes nothing happened in retaliation because the afghan government is dependent upon the united states i'm not celebrating this fact but i'm just describing reality the afghans are left in the

lurch it's very very tragic their citizens can be the victims of war crimes and they have no remedy bruce funk in washington d.c. always good to get your inputs and thank you very much for your analysis thank you . but other news now a multiple mass graves have been discovered in the libyan city of kut huda another however is recently taken from forces loyal to the warlord clique for health or libya's government of national a cold says they contain the remains of government soldiers who'd been taken prisoner to huda was have to last remaining stronghold in the west of the country last week the cine recaptured the city when a trainer is in misrata with more on the discovery of those mass graves. now today forces are saying that they've been able to recover hundreds or or over 100 bodies in these mass graves these mass graves are yet another indication of the brutality

of the libyan conflict and the on the on the residents in the area now in march the u.n. support mission in libya released a statement saying they received reports of hundreds of enforced disappearances killings and the displacement of entire families in the city of tire huna by the kenyatta again the knife brigade that's the militia that was under the belief in control of the city of through a un support mission also added that they verified numerous summary executions at the to whom the prison on september 13th so now the d.n.a. the health officials have told us that they are finding out that civilians are among the dead in these mass graves were also understanding that the d.n.a. ministry of justice have appointed a committee to identify and investigate but that's the circumstances of the death

and the minister of interior but the bush has said they will pursue the perpetrators of these crimes because lynn is an international human rights lawyer based in london he says the evidence from the last crisis points to war crimes. i think the reports 'd that are coming out now are sharing that there are also some military leaders who have been executed with hands tied behind their backs and their reports coming out of civilians now of course still they'll need to be investigation to identify the cause of death but it certainly looks in the face that these are executions and thereby construed in a war crime the fact that they've been buried in a minute mass grave would indicate that these are not individuals who died in the course of both of warfare. if they are military personnel there at the geneva

conventions are very clear that the steps that have to be taken when a military personnel are what's called order come out they become prisoners of war and the geneva conventions apply and the fact that these individuals have not been found and in some circumstances where hands tied behind the acts demonstrates something far more sinister it's not the 1st time situations such as this. from from have forces carrying out attacks like this it's likely to need to go back to the i.c.c. to invest. the bodies of $22.00 west african migrants including 2 babies have been recovered have to the boat that they were in sank off the coast of tunis here many of the victims' bodies are found washed up on a beach they were taken to a hospital in the to his in city of facts or thought he say most of the people were from the ivory coast and it's thought as many as 53 migrants were on the boat when

it capsized last week 45 a confirmed dead. syrian president bashar assad has fired his prime minister in the thumb east just a month before elections the water resources minister hussein of course will take over until the parliamentary vote in july the president's decision comes during a deepening economic crisis which has seen the country's currency plunge a top u.s. military officer has apologized for taking part in president trump's photo opportunity outside a church in washington d.c. army general mike really a company trump as he walked through lafayette square after peaceful anti racism protesters were forcibly removed from the area when he says his presence created the perception of military involvement in domestic politics a white house correspondent kimberly how to choice we know from washington d.c. sort of stark admission there by general milley kimberly about trump's photo opportunity is he going to get some blowback from this.

well he has some support we've seen this for the 2nd time now the defense secretary mark s. for also standing in contrast to the commander in chief especially now what we have here are 2 breaking ranks although it's important to note that as defense secretary this is a civilian role in the trumpet ministration but it's sort of the latest in a string of departures have to remember that mark milley is adding to the controversy that the defense secretary created just days ago when he said that he did not believe that the president should be invoking the insurrection act that means using the military to quell on ross because he felt that it was not the right time to do that something that the president favored so it's astonishing admission and this comes as we've also had another difference of opinion over the renaming of military bases in the united states that are named after confederate commanders because of the next in with racism there is this feeling that in fact this should

be renamed and this is something that the defense secretary says is worth a bipartisan discussion the chair of the joint chiefs mark milley also saying where the bipartisan discussion but the commander in chief the u.s. president saying this is a non starter so now we have on the heels of these instances the admission by the chair of the joint chiefs that he felt that his presence in military fatigues as he walked along lafayette square for a photo opportunity after protesters have been cleared with tear gas and rubber bullets that this just kind of rubber stamp the use of the military on civilians which is in violation of u.s. law who goes to the president is off on his travels apparently meets the law enforcement and faith leaders in dallas but he's keeping all those away so quite a selective gathering it seems. yeah well the u.s. president is trying to according to the white house use this is an opportunity on the heels of meeting with african-american leaders here at the white house to go

out into the community to reportedly discuss holistic revival a zation and recovery after days and weeks of art rest here in the united states so the white house is telling us that this is going to be the address to address racial hardships the historic economic health and justice disparities in american communities but you're right it does appear that this guest list at least the one we've seen so far is selective and many wondering how the president is going to achieve that not only given the selective guest list but also some of his rhetoric in recent days can be held at white house correspondent thank you one of the 4 former minneapolis police officers charged in the killing of george floyd has been released on bail thomas lane had been held on a $750000.00 bail and he's facing charges of aiding and abetting 2nd degree murder death set that set off widespread protests for police reform and racial justice.

u.s. tech giant says it suspending u.s. police from being able to use its controversial facial recognition technology i was on has been criticized for supporting the georgia protest as well promoting a tool that can lead to racial profiling of black americans sarah kyra polls. businesses are being called out campaign is in protests is on naming and shaming them supporting the black laws mattson movement that's making real changes to their policies and the take industry has been no exception. with mass protests across the united states against racial discrimination and police brutality civil rights advocates have renewed their warning of detention racial bias and surveillance technology forcing amazon and puts a temporary one year ban on u.s. police from using its controversial facial recognition software recognition. in a statement it says its decision might give congress enough time to put some place

appropriate rules to the ethical regulation in the use of how the technology is used any type of reform congress could pass in one year is not going to change the fact that this technology in the hands of a criminal justice system that is very flawed is still going to end in invasive surveillance and in all over policing of already vulnerable communities. the decision is a u.-turn to amazon last year defended its products against accusations that its algorithm are inaccurate rates of facial identification for doctors skin and female faces the system i was using it worked well on my lighter skin friend space but when it came to my face. so until i put on a white skin i cut the facial recognition products business technology can use all to fission intelligence to quickly compare a picture from for example an officer's phone camera and try to match it with mug shots held on police databases. artificial intelligence research is from tech

giants a number of top universities have written an open letter saying absence software has the potential of racial discrimination mistaken identity and intrusive surveillance of marginalized groups but some isn't the time ignored calls to stop allowing law enforcement from using its technology. amazon cannot simply escape responsibility while its stance has changed now campaign is according for a full ban on facial recognition already across the united states there are a number of cities that have already large cities that are already done for bands including several just go for bands of government use of face recognition and it doesn't seem to be hurting policing in any way on monday i.b.m. announced it will stop offering its facial recognition products over what it said were massive valence and racial profiling concerns that same day house democrats introduced a police reform bill that would prohibit federal law enforcement use of real time

facial recognition so to hide it. well still ahead here on the al-jazeera news on what's next for u.s. troops in iraq talks begin on a potential easing of the american military presence but so is mexico's credible was death toll hits 15000 revisits and intensive care unit where doctors are trying to save lives and lee will have more in sport on the latest of europe's pixel police to resume play after a credible risk related suspension to stay with us. at his house and it is drawing close much of the middle east on the arabian peninsula to the north the county can see that has been ringing and will continue to ring want to do shows across areas a turkey but no such luck further to the south instead the winds have been strong look at this massive dust storm very intense dust here the storm the winds very

against deisel in 2014 washington has provided about $5000000000.00 in military aid to baghdad discussions are being held to decide how much longer the troops will remain a similar faulty reports. 6 months after iraq's parliament voted to expel foreign troops. the u.s. and iraq are beginning talks to redefine their relationship over the coming weeks my colleagues throughout the mission will discuss in more details how our strategic framework agreement addresses all aspects of our bilateral relationship political economic cultural educational and scientific not only security assistance. the main part of the dialogue is expected to revolve around military matters potentially paving the way for a reduction in u.s. troops. the negotiations come in the wake of military escalation between iran and the u.s. on iraqi soil last year after an increase in rocket attacks that the us blamed on

the iranian backed groups it retaliated with a strike on the type hizbollah positions on the syria iraq border in response the popular mobilization forces a number of a group of mostly shia paramilitaries that includes the type as bala laid siege to the u.s. embassy in baghdad threatening revenge and demanding that we've droll of u.s. troops you know what. they slater the u.s. assassinated iranian general qassam sulaimani and the popular mobilization force is 2nd in charge of the un $100.00 is near baghdad airport a 2nd round of attacks in march killed a civilian 5 iraqi security forces and 3 correlation personnel accelerating previously planned withdrawal of u.s. troops from 5 bases. tensions have since called iraq also has a new government led by former spy chief the me who is seen as being close to the u.s. the prime minister's adviser says the government wants

a balanced relationship and also appears to favor era duction in american military presence. that has as of now we see iraq's defense capabilities have approved maybe we need help from americans in training in intelligence and weapons supply but the situation doesn't require a wide military presence and we're not going down that path. the us has its own conditions going into the dialogue it wants iraq to reduce its dependence on iranian gas and rein in iranian backed armed groups who have launched attacks against the coalition one of the things that is important for our relationship with iraq and the success of the coalition is that the iraqi security forces continue to protect the bases where we have small coalition compounds just days ahead of the talks in iran leaning factions under the popular mobilization of forces have reiterated their demands for complete withdrawal

a demand that will likely not be met by us and the iraqi government appear to favor a partial reduction of troops but the question is whether they will agree on the terms that will govern their future presidents whatever the outcome the dialogue is likely to usher in a new chapter of u.s. iraqi relations they want to 14 al-jazeera baghdad well lou a 1000 people in nepal are protesting against their government's handling of the coronavirus demonstrators in the capital have been do that on the road leading up to the prime minister's office please the 5 water cannon and people that they were violating lockdown measures by coming out in large groups the fall has so far reported both in $4300.00 cases and at least 15 and it's. well it's been more than 2 months since the philippine government bought incredible with restrictions downs of unemployed workers who want to return to their home provinces or their jobs overseas a stranded in the capital unable to earn many of them have been forced to live on the streets and met some of them in manila. but the sampan d.
