and door could face in its vaccination campaign this woman has been expected anticipated along. so that's and the country. that is on me is being eagerness in getting their rights and boy a school that is going to be a lot of people i'm safe for years your short answer everybody the little the facts of course the number of people we. did today are folks at a network 60 per cent drop out yet and somebody or maybe even $30.00 to $40.00 by the end of the apocalypse they do it a lot and that to even reach that level maybe maybe even born today maybe. that i don't see a problem just yet if the business to great it is actually those who are after lance on business and i do this back it is really to be

a better get it comes to spread belief that maybe that is that we all know we don't know you really should not be in unity because we don't know where they would reach people like me to do this kind of example or fish and sort of the listeners i mean the fact that in hops we have to spread out the significant yet all kinds. of police and being just to prevent infection drops mission i'm not sure that the problem. problem is that we should get other sponsors of us to not. no candidate has won a majority in the 1st round of me says presidential election that means the 2 leading contenders mambas sumant mahomet was fond of will face each other in a runoff next month but to my closest ally all of our current president mohamed who is still for one just under 40 percent of the vote more than twice that of osama

a former president but interest has more from the capital niamey whether or not more people are come out to vote because of voter fatigue in february it depends on how well they pass their message let's listen just to but this campaign has been characterized by petty use of tribalism of racism but it's largely went without any major incident despite the threat of attacks by i'm groups vocal i'm from nigerian side and then i will tell you that i still and the others on the board cannot be and molly and gorda things are looking up good for this country however the ruling parties failed to do what it promised to do to win this election in the 1st round it would have been the 1st time a presidential candidate won an election in this year for the 1st time without going into a 2nd round which means of course with this development now the ruling party always

have a party that ends up winning in february we'll need to form a coalition of parties to govern that a world. african union and the un peacekeepers are to begin withdrawing from sudan's darfur region and joint mission to protect displaced people there ended on new year's eve troops will gradually pull out of the next 6 months as algiers have a mug reports from cars and sell the horse displaced people fear returning home but don't know if the camps they live in a still safe. this little space is his family's home in a camp in south dar for colin says he was forced to abandon his actual home when regional conflicts reached his village he started his family here his children no nowhere else i. want to go i know my home village and to recognize it but my kids were all born in this camp this is the only home they know they don't know their ancestral home if you ask them which village they come from they say

calma if you ask them which county they say calma it's not just a displacement camp for them. set up a pharmacy in the camp it's one of the structures that gives the camp a sense of a small village there's also a market a school and a health center was established after fighting started in darfur in 2003 between mainly non arab rebel groups and the government more than 300000 were killed and more than 2000000 displaced the camp is the largest in the region more than 150000 families live here and until the end of last year it was secured by united nations and an african union peacekeeping mission known as the thing come up may seem like a small village or town but it lacks basic infrastructure like running water and power lines and while many of the planes of income other similar to survive with the end of the dance government has promised to continue securing camps for both displays until they return to their villages but for many this camp has become a permanent home. a peace deal was signed between the armed groups and sudan's

transitional government last october it allows for the return of those displaced and gives them back their farms and properties but camp leaders here don't trust the deal and don't think it's safe to leave. our homes have been taken over by farmers there's no security backing or religious and with gone we don't know what will become of the camps the government is saying that there will be a joint force to protect the camps on to leave but we can't leave because we don't trickle signed the government says it won't force anyone out of the camps but that providing for them will become increasingly hard. yeah if you could have had a service when there were plans to make the camp a town but how do you do that when people don't want any government force or official to into the camp we can't provide services we can't provide protection we can't implement law and order inside the camps because the people are unwilling to

leave our son and the location and the layout of the camps do not allow for it to be a town and with the implementation of the peace deal people should return home. that's easier said than done for the people living here whether they were forced from their homes or whether they know nothing else they see danger and insecurity outside the camp now life inside the camp is also under threat people morgan al jazeera camp south are for. well tomorrow want to bring in is a sudanese human rights activist she says the camp residents fears of the withdrawal of peacekeeping troops are well founded. the situation is still far gyal the violence continues we hear. you know every other day and attacked by the militias who are very heavily armed and and roaming. unsupervised in the in the villages in daraa for only last week we hear that there is more than 30 people were killed. in darfur so so i think.

you know it is very untimely security is not still a concern for displaced people in darfur who let these attacks and when it started in 2003 and went to live in counts for now over 17 years but. for for the peacekeeping mission to appear at this time where there sudanese government is still transitioning in 'd and very close jobs tate and living economy christ we can see that it will be very difficult for. the forces that will be full md to be able to protect civilians in there for. as the u.k. comes to terms of breaks many are affecting on what life outside of the e.u. needs for their sense of identity reports from london

a clouded sunrise over westminster nothing extraordinary here many of breaks it's changes will be slow but knowledge even but in the minds of british people the u.k. now adrift from the e.u. is alone again for some that's a cause for optimism for others profound regret. the country still working out what breaks it means in practice with new rules on travel trade and immigration to name a few but beyond the dry details it's also about something much deeper for many brits especially those in their twenty's and thirty's being british and a member of the european union a part of one indivisible seamless identity that now is a result of bragg's it has been split in 2 of the 48 percent of people that voted to remain in the european union many now feel like they're being told to abandon half of who they are really sad to be. not european anymore but i

think it was a really awful decision that we made as a country the idea that we this nation the world this could do better outside of something the size of the european union with exhibit stupid it's hugely problematic and the people who have grown up in the eighty's ninety's ne european identity was was fundamentally how we saw the world we call yeasty be able to travel freely in the european union being able to work live and of course people who are older were able to retire that fathers a european union membership has felt in some way forced and disingenuous voting to leave the e.u. is a shock treatment for some parts of the country that felt left behind a way of restoring the country's factory settings i think it's a great opportunity for the u.k. now to stand alone and to really. build some business across the world. but it's

not as simple as hitting reset in the past 50 years the u.k.'s become intertwined with europe london's often called france's 6 biggest city because of its sizable french population i'm picking the relationships required a form of diplomatic surgery in the shape of years of torturous brags that negotiations and pain or human could have been the message for many of europe's leaders is the breaks it is not something to celebrate the last thing the e.u. wants is for the 1st member state to ever leave the e.u. to be followed by others how future generations will judge this moment we don't yet know is it the beginning of new opportunities or the end of many a sunrise or sunset nave back out 0 london still ahead on al-jazeera temporary shelters but still no certainty for refugees and migrants

withdrew most of its staff of the concerns of a retaliatory strike where raney leaders spoke head of the anniversary of somalis assassination vowing revenge and that iran's policies will not change. they will witness severe ravines what has come so far has only been glimpses. do not presume that anyone even in the position of u.s. president who appeared as a murderer or a session may be immune from justice being carried out never none of those involved in this session nation in crime will be safe on earth. i explicitly say that the path force and the path of resistance does not change with the evils that the u.s. commits the past is still the same path. value of today we have no problem or apprehension in encountering any of the world powers we will have our final words on the battlefield with our enemies also jabari takes

a look back at the assassination just over a year ago. in the early hours of january 3rd 2020 shortly after arriving at baghdad international airport major general hossam so in money was killed in a u.s. drone strike his close ally the deputy head of iraq's popular mobilisation forces. also died along with 8 others missiles from the us drone hit their convoy as it left the airport so the money was the commander of the court's force a unit of iran's revolutionary guard responsible for foreign operations and he was also considered to be the 2nd most powerful man in iran behind the country's supreme leader ayatollah ali how many of those whom i know know all by know in the news of his death made official by iran's state t.v. . a 3 day mourning period was announced and iran vowed revenge as u.s.

president donald trump stood by his decision with this claim last night at my direction the united states military executed a flawless strike that terminated the jurors ringleader responsible for gravely would be unburdening thousands and thousands of people and hundreds and hundreds at least of americans. shola money has been killed and his bloody rampage is now for ever on a law for ayatollah khomeini so in mind he was a trusted confidant a member of his inner circle and a friend for more than 30 years almost 12 months on the commander in chief of iran's armed forces says he's not done avenging silliman his death. you know and built woman as a politician whenever it's possible we will take revenge we will take revenge on

those who ordered so him on his assassination and the ones who carried out that assassination just hours after saw him on his body was laid to rest in his hometown of care mon on january 7th the revolutionary guard launched 13 missiles at the u.s. space assad in iraq no americans were killed attentions increased iran was on high alert and accidently shut down the ukrainian airline passenger plane killing all $176.00 people on board while the united states said they were not seeking regime change in iran trumps the citizen to kill himself a money had far reaching repercussions feared by his enemies inside iran so the money had for years been one of the most popular national figures in the country the international face of iranian resistance to american pressure he remained largely untouched by the diminishing popularity of the country's elected government . his death prompted calls for the expulsion of u.s.

troops from the middle east by iranian officials as well as reigning back groups in iraq and it's a demand which still stands a year later officials here called so i'm on his assassination and you tap her in the history of the middle east while many countries condemn the act no one has actually been held accountable the spite efforts by iran to prosecute u.s. president donald trump who in support solem on his role was quickly filled by his deputy because the legacy is now entrenched in iran's history. north of the bari al-jazeera tower on. which all stratford is in the iraqi capital baghdad he says the anniversary of the assassination is putting pressure on the iraqi prime minister. well it's fair to say the atmosphere has been increasingly tense overseas such an important day for geopolitically and for the people of this country such of a major cement as the assassination of a man who was described as the most 2nd most powerful man in iran the last time we

saw its packs on the green zone we understand targeting the u.s. embassy was december the 20 s. and all the around groups the major iran groups denied any responsibility for those attacks blaming it on what they described as out will saying that they entrusted the prime minister mostafa car to me to deal with those that will in a legal in a legal way so there are questions being asked about how much control both could ami and the iran back groups have over these small units that are claiming responsibility for these attacks and it's also fair to say that there is increasing fear amongst the people of iraq that every day people of iraq could have witnessed decades of political instability and violence in this country and whether they support those pro iran backed groups those are wrong right groups or indeed the us

nobody wants to see an escalation here so amongst everyday people they are increasingly nervous on such an important day. as today. lucy is an assistant professor at the critical security program at the doha institute for graduate studies he says the u.s. military exercises in the gulf region is meant to deter any attempts of retaliation the assassination of sort of money. the united states had made it clear on many instances that the killing of any u.s. personnel whether in iraq or the golf the g.c.c. in general would be a red light for the united states therefore they are just preparing for the 1st anniversary of the killing of soleimani that just in case any u.s. personnel would be targeted that the u.s. united states which retaliates right away to any provocation by you know any iranian affiliated groups or at least some splinter groups that threaten to target the united states and its embassy in iraq at the same time iran has also mentioned

on many instances that it's going to retaliate to the to the killing of a money and we've seen many sleepless white iranian officials that they will actually target those that were responsible for the killing of so that money and therefore there is a deterrent by both mostly by the united states to any provocative that that might be committed. iran's government is pushing ahead with plans to enrich uranium to a purity of 20 percent it's told the un's nuclear watchdog the work will be done and the 4 doll plant that's built into the side of a mountain in richmond breaches the next 4 percent enrichment allowed on the 2050 nuclear deal but it falls short of the 90 percent needed to make a nuclear weapon couples press club is boycotting coverage of government news and protest at the killing of another afghan journalist. who was killed in the central province of course when gunmen fired on his car by mark was a human rights activist and editor of
