to push it i certainly am no longer playing football or netball or running like i was last time i spoke to. lots of lots of things to change i don't drink i don't eat sugar i don't have to send her there is so many things that i don't have in my diet any longer it's a real big change to just the way that i live my life it won't be like this forever i hope but it's necessary i will end up fisher and healthier at the other side of it but it's a little bit of a shock to the system to have to the brain fog made me know rate no reason other than to do that well the pandemic has led to massive job losses all over the world where you know that the philippines where many people are actually going hungry as the country struggles with its 1st recession in nearly 30 years millions of families have reported not having enough food over the past 3 months jamil onondaga has a report from manila. sample of vanity but says his family feels lucky if they are

able to eat 3 times a day he used to earn an equivalent of 6 u.s. dollars a day selling food but now he says he's happy he's able to bring home for the not who've been hungry says march in the 1st 2 weeks of the lockdown he finished off the very late that cash we had and says he could that clearly go out to work he just borrowed money. many people here are in a similar position they used to be part of what the government calls the informal sector they're either self employed or run businesses providing goods and services but now they tell as many people here have lost their jobs and some have resorted to begging. and it isn't happening in the capital manila alone local survey shows at least 7000000 families have experienced hunger at least once in the past 3 months that's a record high of more than 30 percent the highest incidence of hunger since $24.00

team the survey comes as the country is well into its 7th month community quarantine one of the longest ever implemented by a government in the world the philippine government imposed a lockdown with the coronavirus pandemic broke out but it pushed the country into one of its worst economic recession in decades the government says it is doing the best it can it has given out cash to millions of filipinos and says it hopes to get more they end up with the bill because they get to me about this that is so i hope in the economy that they start jobs and the generate more income for those most affected but others say more could be done there has been permanently damage done to label good jobs and there needs to be a more sustained response to this problem and i think we need to dispel that notion that there isn't enough funding there is funding it's just not being used in the

more appropriate interventions there is enough funding for infrastructure projects of local politicians this is a community inside one of the country's top business districts people here tell us life has always been difficult but now they fear it is getting worse jim duggan al-jazeera manila. hundreds of refugees are expected to arrive on the greek mainland shortly after they were granted asylum most of those arriving at been held in an overcrowded camp on less false that was burnt down earlier this month at least $2500.00 more will be moved off to test for coronavirus $12000.00 refugees. this will lift homeless by the fire at the marina camp has done at the port in athens for us what awaits these refugees joan where are they going to go from here. well we are expecting

about 940 arrivals very shortly in fact if i look over my right shoulder i can see the ships there arriving on steaming slowly towards us it's about one and a half or 2 miles off shore right now these people have all received asylum they are all able to live in greece for the foreseeable future legally they're going to be taken for the next 2 months to hotels where they're going to be housed and fed and after that they're going to be slowly filtered through 2 apartments there's a program that's funded by the european union which gives rent subsidies to asylum recipients and asylum seekers obviously once you've received asylum you're supposed to go out into the job market and support yourself but the greek economy being what it is at the moment with 15 percent statistical unemployment it isn't easy for

these people especially lacking language skills to immediately support themselves so for the foreseeable future they're going to be subsidized now this is the beginning of a new wave of decongestion of the east a-g. and islands the government has been pursuing this very aggressively come all at the beginning of the year there were $30000.00 asylum seekers and asylum recipients on lesbos alone the total population on the 5 g. and islands which have reception and identification centers has been brought down by about 40 percent since the start of the year but thousands more remain as you said the government now is moving 1st of all those who've received asylum and shouldn't be in those camps any longer and it will then continue to filter people out hopefully processing there is oil replications at the same time so that people who are accepted can move to the mainland and people who aren't accepted are sent back to their countries or to turkey but it is the government's stated goal to have

no people left at these reception centers on the islands by the end of the year come all. john psaropoulos in athens we'll talk again hopefully when that ship gets a bit closer to land i mean off french police have dismantled a migrant camp in the northern port of cali where thousands of people have sought to cross the channel to reach britain the camp was home to about 700 migrants repeatedly pressed the french government to do more to stop people from leaving france in the 1st place the better russian opposition leader svetlana to going to sky has met the french president during a visit to lithuania she says emmanuel mccrone promised to help negotiate the release of political prisoners they were detained during weeks of protests in build a race against president alexander lukashenko. he told the time is that. there are crucial because a lot of. people are suffering because of the 3 dream too many people in jail

praying to god almighty to accept in his mercy. me and accept him in his eyes no my oldest in through that would be god may god help us and to god we old reached. 1. your own. the briefest of statements there on kuwaiti national television confirming that the emir of kuwait. has died at the age of 91 he had faced

a number of health issues for many years now confirmation official confirmation from kuwaiti state television that he has died jamal shale correspondent following gulf affairs. he was obviously as i say in ill health had been for some time take us through the last few months and the veteran statesman the wise man of the gulf. as you mentioned 91 years old one of the elder statesman statesman in the region and as had been reported over the past more than a year or so had been suffering through different health complications the most recent was in july just a few months ago where he was flown to the united states to conduct an operation which the immunity deal one and the official state news agency in korea had said was successful but obviously with the old age and those underlying health conditions automatically getting the better of him passing just in the past few

hours and as we heard there a very brief statement something which is expected particularly in terms of the kind of cultural context of it's where right now will be an official time at least as far as the public is concerned of mourning an announcement is made notifying that the ruler has passed there will be the customary 3 days of. being played and broadcast on state t.v. for much of those hours the country will go into or official mourning something which isn't just customary because of the nature of such an event but also particular with regards to. the kind of his. that he held and the. love that was expressed by a lot of his own citizens towards him he was a need to that many rallied around not just inside coates but also in the region

and because of that kind of high esteem that he was placed in this passing will be felt. not just in kuwait city and the country but also as i see much further afield yeah that's what i wanted to ask you about his influence particularly across the gulf region. was tossed with trying to mediate the gulf crisis involving the blockade of clearly he was an influential man indeed and you know actually spreads much further back. before he was a mere of kuwait you served as foreign minister for a very long time and in that tenure he established himself as a negotiator as somebody who put a lot of effort in positioning himself and kuwait as a broker and a peace maker so you look at for example court's role in conflicts between pakistan and bangladesh turkey and ball garia even between the gulf bloc and

iran and the yemen crisis for a while kuwait positioned itself as a broker to try and find some sort of peaceful solution through those crises more recently as you mentioned there kuwait was at the forefront of an attempt to find a solution through the gulf crisis which was triggered by the blockade on qatar by saudi arabia the united arab emirates between back in 2017 and were not for his efforts as was revealed later on there could have been actual military action imposed by those countries against qatar and it was his intervention together obviously with other factors but mainly his intervention which prevented an invasion of qatar so his presence. fighting some sort of political librium in the region is something that many people are realizing now is very much in the balance with his passing and therefore whilst it's something that he's going to be remembered for it's also something that's posing

a question mark as to what happens next is there a defined line of succession in kuwait is there any doubt as to who takes over from him it's a very interesting question come out where you currently have now the eldest or what was the eldest or who was the eldest there are parents in the world shifting a laugh or no one. who is 83 years old she is officially is the heir apparent but kuwait is a very complex country despite its size because not only is it a monarchy it does have an established parliament national assembly which actually does yield a lot of influence and has a lot of say in the way in which the country is ruled so the next one has to be approved by the parliament but it also has the power to dissolve the parliament the amir also has to appoint an heir apparent which the parliament has to give approved by a supermajority an absolute majority for that's air power and should be approved now

traditionally the way in which has been ruled is through the true main strands of the business the right you have the job of a branch sometime referred to as an homage branch and the asylum branch and traditionally they would take it in turns as to who would rule and who would have the heir apparent from them what happened with the late amir is something very unique in that he assumed power just after a few days from his predecessor taking. office and he was seen to be somebody who suffered from the health complications and therefore only ruled literally for about 9 days or so. and what that meant was that you currently have ships obama is about the. taking over from the asylum branch and rather than appointing an heir apparent from that he appointed the current apparent no wealth who is his brother

you have the son of the late amir also in contention somebody who seemed to be positioning himself as a new generation albeit he's almost 70 years old but somebody is trying to depart from maybe the traditional roles of korea has been speaking a lot about corruption and corruption and trying to diversify kuwait's oil dependence economy and so forth so to college at the short answer there isn't actual real clarity as to what will happen however the consensus in which it has managed to develop domestically based on the political poor that it has. saved guarded over the past few decades is something that. analysts and people who are monitoring will hope will prevail in trying to find some sort of smooth transition of power after one of the most notable established diplomatic and political figures not just in the gulf region but actually in the wider middle east

has passed the way. stick around for me we will come back to you a little later on the breaking news if you're just joining us on al-jazeera is the death of the emir of kuwait. has died at the age of 91 years old just made on kuwaiti state television a short time ago very short statement made there confirming his death now and bashar is our senior political analyst joining us to talk through this one how big a loss is this for kuwait and the wider gulf clearly. this the beneath your quick has been key over the last 2 decades 2 decades that's where quite well it died in the region and in the sense of book which is a small country it's also 1st. in a strong country and in a sense

a source of stability coming from bad west point that we've seen also the gulf crisis in the sense that the reaction of the record was the sort of line that he were trying to make it mitigate the crisis and bridge the differences between the various parties in the region. on the whole after 60 years of service you know you can tell that an experienced hand a seasoned politician has left the scene. but kuwait only found the you know high school quite stable over the last 30 years so one of them here is gone there's more than a few candidates who the course the conference but also of those up will probably think within a system that things rather unique in the gulf in the sense of having quite

an active national assembly who's 50 members both fish its numbers are going on elected so that kind of a balance in a burst of. that stable is of course you know a good sign there is of us who are liable for. having said you know what i'm on our wall but who lives in beijing some musical exactly that back in 99 and since then you know oppose it support such a blow it has been rather certain but they. can't quote it when the pork if there are no. issues in order to ensure. stability for the country it may be struck my one just stay with me again for now i just approaching the top of the hour on al-jazeera i do want to. surround any of our viewers who are just joining us that almost 1400 hours g.m.t.

5 pm in kuwait city where the news is that the emir of kuwait shakes. has died he was 91 an announcement made on state television just a short time ago shake. i have been in power since 2006 more analysis shortly but 1st ramallah shell takes a look back at the emir of kuwait stuff in recent years saddam had become recognized and relied on as a regional mediator. in 2017 when g.c.c. member states saudi arabia and the united arab emirates along with egypt accused of supporting what they described as terrorism and imposed a land air and sea blockade it was him who intervened the kuwaiti amir attempted to broker a settlement urged for more dialogue between the gulf rivals and pushed for reforms to prevent future disputes. occurred.
