director of the international press institute he's joining us from vienna scott griffin thanks so much for your time or you're going to zation as well as countless others along with al-jazeera had been lobbying for mahmoud abbas a israelis for the past 4 years what is your official reaction to this news. we're 'd going to need a reminder obviously we are related to this news it's a wonderful it's a wonderful day it's a wonderful day for mahmoud and his family so we're very pleased and the campaigns were just as useless mentioned 4 or so years since he was arrested so it is a good day and it's it's one step towards respect for people expression of press freedom and did you expect it at all or or was a surprise. there had been some discussion in recent days that it's possible we were cautious because it was merely released at one point in the past he was brought to a police station only to be accused senate and the resignation was open against him

personally were hopeful about mcchrystal cautious given our past experience and of course there had been a global campaign calling for mahmoud sainz release by organizations such as yours and you know the hash tag 3 mahmoud hossain was also launched what impact do you think such campaigns have on governments and countries who jail journalists i think they're absolutely i think it showed exactly this case just unsupported by so many organizations and so many people including by yes global network of members around the world. and in the end he was able to be free but i will say i think it's important to say this as well that today's decision is as joyful is as it is it doesn't erase but her suffering it doesn't you rate of 40 years that you spend in arbitrary detention where you are in europe or in his basic rights repeatedly to know it. so well it is

a joy to think there are you also need to have that in mind and have in mind the wider oppression of press freedom in egypt does this move advance and promote press freedom not only in egypt but worldwide. i think it creates an opportunity. but revici's can be a step forward. loosening up the repression in egypt there are dozens more journalists in egypt in jail there has been a mass crackdown closing of websites shattering organizations i think it is to really didn't help but we hope it will be a stepping stone for then we hope it will be a stepping stone towards other us ordinary releasing journalists currently held in jail i think imad my today and much moves from the kennedy example that we hope will be followed in other tapes how do you how would you describe the state of

press freedom today worldwide one statistic from the committee to protect journalists seems to point to 273 journalists imprisoned in the year 2020 it's extremely concerning i think that and the number of journalists in jail it's not going down but that's only one measure of the problem you see increasingly turning to other methods of controlling the press through state capture and through . capturing ownership of independent media through closing down websites and hartline and we've seen over the past year the coby pandemic in particular a rise in attacks on the press both from governments but also from members of the public from protesters who are trying to control the narrative around the pandemic for example at a time when the need maternalism need. more than ever scott graf and we thank you very much for joining us and speaking to us from vienna thanks very much. over

conference for their annual summits they're likely to discuss a range of shared concerns including the covert $1000.00 pandemic and the struggle to secure vaccines the outgoing chairman cyril ramaphosa says the continent has been devastated by the virus and still faces a long and difficult road before the pandemic is defeated malcolm why is following the summit from nairobi. expecting the african center for disease control and also there a used vaccine taskforce to report to the african union to update them on progress in this summit comes at a moment where the african continent finds itself at the bottom of a lot over the grossly on equal allocation the distribution of covert 19 vaccines around the world experts estimate that the richest countries would have vaccinated most of their populations at some point later this year and the world's poorest countries many of which are in this continent will not back to nature same amount

of their population still maybe 3 years from now or possibly never till the african union's task force has been trying to collectively buy vaccines on behalf of other countries is aiming to get about 600000000 vaccines about half the number of people living in the continent 1300000000 is the total population that pales in comparison for example to the u.k. which has one of the fastest moving vaccine programs the government there for about 6 doses for every member of its population the african union is trying to trying to address this and trying to collectively buy those vaccines some african countries have signed up to participate in the game but we'll hear more about it in the summit later today and tomorrow as well. if any into 4 is a senior atlantic fellow for health equity a george washington university he says the african union deserves credit for its work in getting vaccines. i think african countries are much more prepared than

western countries because i mean we been doing this for so long i mean we've just. had just as our last year you know it's about the polar transmission so all of the investments are going into polio eradication for instance i think how could african countries in a better stead to to really rule out the vaccines when they arrive on the continent i think we also need to give credit to the african union chaired by the president of costa because despite you know the selfishness on the part of western nations who by now i believe will pass. through his leadership the continent has at least gotten some level of commitment. from the kovach facility about 700000000 doses as well as through the africa back enough to dish on a bathroom and so on the 1000000 doses are by the 1000000000 doses of commitment last year if you can remember western nations also said or did.

was not protective equipment some of the commodities could be one thing and as the result of that the african union set up the africa medical supplies platform to help with coordinate in airports across the continent follow district on commodities and you know the african medical supplies last for. african countries can preorder for boxes and also. books for parts of the district and coach and equipment for those back and. emergency talks between so mario's political leaders have ended without an agreement on how upcoming elections will proceed the failed talks come days before the end of president obama dubbed the law he mohammad's term last year these central governments agreed to hold indirect parliamentary and presidential elections but that deal broke down after disagreements between the president and regional leaders so now has a february 8th deadline to choose a new president mohamed the doe is monitoring the story from kenya he says somalia

has now entered a period of political instability. the contentious issues include who should manage the election of about 17 members of parliament in the ghetto region which is the president's home or region he wants to do that himself the president of jubilant instruction in case my homage rather than outrightly refuse that and then there is the deployment of troops to the ghetto region along the border with kenya the government in mogadishu straits that they have deployed those forces to try and protect the border with kenya after diplomatic spat between kenya and the cutting of the prometric relations with the nairobi and the president of the region is saying no that is not what the president wants is trying to use up his power in the region and wants them replaced with african union peacekeepers are missed on the president. another issue is the composition of the electoral commission

which opposition candidates including former president at least one former prime minister say that it is tough with civil servants and members of the national security agency and they want that reconstituted again now all these leave some money in limbo on monday the president's mandate will expire and the opposition countries are saying they will not allow an extension of the president's monday that they would not want any extension whatsoever of the president from those some red where that meeting has collapsed is heading directly to a parliament where he's going to ask members of parliament to extend his mandate and they might do that because extending the prison mandate mystic standing there on monday let's get some analysis was not bright and he's a strategic adviser to the sahana research group eastern us from nairobi mcbride and thanks for your time so why in your opinion that the talks break down and where does this all in the electoral process. i think the talks have broken down. over

a range of issues we've had since september last year to negotiate the model for the elections in fact the blueprint exists but the disagreements are over implementation and the president is trying to interpret the agreement in ways that will favor israel lection and all of the other stakeholders 'd and most of them in the 2 summit of talks are trying to establish a more level playing field and so although there are a number of specific points that we could look into basically the opposition and the federal member states of somalia believe that as long as president for my job is the incumbent and he enjoys the privileges of incumbency including a national intelligence service and parts of the military that are better at his

orders there cannot be a fair election right so we are in a situation now where february 8th in 2 days' time and that's when the president's mandate expires if it does go ahead and expire is going to be left with a power vacuum. i believe so somalia is now entering uncharted waters the president today spoke to the lower house of parliament. and he he said there would be no power vacuum at the same time he said that he would 'd be prepared to revive talks with with the other stakeholders but as you said his mandate expires on the 8th so just by committing to continuing talks he seems to be assuming that he'll be given some kind of extension of his term of office the opposition on the other hand a very clear on february 8th he vacates the seat of the presidency and they will have to come up with an alternative caretaker mechanism to bridge the

gap between president for maja's end of term of office and the elections whenever they can be held and what would political instability and and this impasse effectively mean for security in the country and the government's ability to fight armed groups such as who are who are still active in the country. i think there are 2 parts to the answer to that question on the one hand in terms of electoral security i think a lot of international partners are concerned that if the president for maggio and his followers are not accommodated they could act as euler's but. from the opposition point of view and i think also more objective lee the president neither has a legal basis on which to to continue his term of office nor does he actually have

a clearly identifiable constituency it's not clear that any major group in the country or even the army or parts of the intelligence service would fight for him once his term of office is over so there is a possibility that the opposition could could take over in a bloodless transition of power but of course that's uncertain and there's always the possibility 'd of some violence in terms of al-shabaab. has been given a pretty easy ride under this president they've expanded their influence they've increased their sort of shadow governance of somalia they tax more than ever more than the federal 'd government itself they are more effective administration in terms of justice and security in much of the country so shabad if anything would look forward to 4 more years president from out as leadership and i think that's one of the reasons that the opposition is united in trying to effect

while visiting family in december 26th seen but was never formally charged with a crime and these are the latest pictures from the same as he was leaving the prison in egypt. more than 100 years he's killed by myself fighters and 2014 have been laid to rest in northwest iraq their remains were found in mass graves last year identified through d.n.a. testing 3000 women and girls are still missing. the u.s. state department plans to drop its terrorist designation for humans who feeds president joe biden had highlighted the need to find a diplomatic solution to the war in yemen during his 1st major foreign policy speech the fees were labeled terrorists by the trumpet ministration but humanitarian groups warned this could affect crucial deliveries so it's on a begum is the advocacy manager for the norwegian refugee council she explains how the terror list designation affects humanitarian work even when there are exemptions. the 1st thing to save this designation with coming at

a time when young men face is an unprecedented set of catastrophe so that it by 6 years of. 60000000 people are at risk of starvation. that one in 2 yemeni coded 19 also led to. the economy getting more people lost their jobs you also basically the. food prices rising at the same time so for humanitarian organizations what we were concerned about is that even with exemptions made by the u.s. government this only provided limited protection of the would stick it would still continue to delay humanitarian aid operations as we never get these new legal risks and complexities but we were particularly concerned about is what this meant for the private sector what does this mean for getting food fuel and medicines into the

country what we've seen in other contexts is private sector such as bags of risk averse and any uncertainty caused by about us to action is regime and exemptions would have meant private shipping companies and. commercial companies would be reluctant to bring food fuel and medicines into the country so this is really a decision by the u.s. government and a sigh of relief that the yemeni people the international criminal court has ruled it has jurisdiction in the occupied palestinian territories that bolsters the i.c.c. chief prosecutor's efforts to investigate suspected work crimes by israel and potentially by palestinian armed groups prime minister benjamin netanyahu condemned the judgment and says israel will fight back if barker has more. it was founded to bring the perpetrators of the world's worst atrocities to justice or the $120.00

countries and states accept the international criminal court's authority including palestine where the i.c.c. now says it has the power to investigate suspected war crimes by the israeli military and armed palestinian groups such as hamas the decision was quickly and fiercely rejected by israel which isn't a member of the court doesn't recognise its jurisdiction when the i.c.c. investigates israel fig. this is. the court established to prevent atrocities like the nazi holocaust against the jewish people is not targeting the one story of the jewish people 1st it outrageously claims that when jews live in a room and this is a war crime circuited claims that when democratic israel defends itself against terrorists who murder our children rocket our cities we're committing another war crime the palestinian authority and hamas say the decision office by 2 protection

for the palestinian people with a mass insisting its military activity is lawful how to get there how massive a guard to hold how massive the resistance groups in a legal and legitimate battle against his zionist occupation in accordance with all international norms and treaties that give us a right to defend ourselves before these daily war arsenal that kills indiscriminately the palestinians want the i.c.c. to look into israeli military operations in the gaza strip in 2014 in which more than 2000 palestinians and 70 israelis were killed also in the spotlight military tactics used by israel against palestinian protesters on the israeli gaza border and the construction of illegal settlements in the occupied west bank and east jerusalem i.c.c. top prosecutor bensouda had previously called for investigations saying there was a reasonable basis to believe war crimes had happened but progress could be slow

the courts only convicted a handful of people in its 23 year history. by . very much. a very. i.c.c. involvement in the struggle between israelis and palestinians could shine a light on other state injustices but was less certain is whether it will help or hinder the troubled search for peace in the middle east neve barkha al-jazeera. police in chad have fired tear gas as hundreds of people protested against president idriss debbie's nomination for a 6th term in office he's officially named his governing party's candidate for

continues to get these intelligence briefings. i'd rather not speculate out loud i just think that there is no need for him to have the intelligence appreciate what value is giving him an intel was appreciated what impact does he have at all other than the fact he might slip and say something. i did or casters in the u.s. capitol and she explains why some in washington are concerned about donald trump having access to classified information. these briefings are a courtesy that's extended from the new president to the old and it's something that's happened for every former living u.s. president in the modern era they serve 2 purposes one is to fulfill this matter of convention as a courtesy and the 2nd is to have the former president informed in case they are one day called upon for advice from the current sitting president now the concern about bought about getting these continued intelligence briefings that can be

summed up not only by what biden just said but also in an op ed written by one of trump's former intelligence prefers that was published in the washington post in january and in it she lists to make concerns that make trump different than his predecessors one being that he has a stated agenda to remain as part of american politics possibly running another time and she is concerned that he could use or twist this intelligence to meet his agenda what she has been accused of doing while in the white house and then the 2nd difference between trump and his former u.s. presidents is that he has business holdings and investors and lenders who are foreigners and the concern there is that he is particularly vulnerable to what this former intelligence officer says are bad actors with ill intent because of his conflicts in interest china's drug regulator has given conditional approvals or
