a bowl is being confirmed in north kivu province and democratic republic of congo the new outbreak was announced a week ago the world health organization says as many as 180 people might have been exposed to health workers and racing to vaccinate people to prevent a bigger outbreak they cause hoch has this update from dakar in senegal. there is an outbreak of ebola in guinea following tests made on the individual these tests were made blood tests p.c.r. machines that we usually use for the current outbreak were used to confirm that person had died from. that all started that person is a nurse that fell ill 'd in january and she was taken to hospital and zurich or a she was suffering from vomiting bleeding diarrhea and a week later she was buried nearby in

a town nearby and it is jury that funeral that 8 other were infected with the virus now the minister of health says that it has dispatched at least 30 health workers to investigate and to try to find contact cases to trace and try to contain this outbreak meanwhile neighboring liberia has put its health authorities on a higher alert because that funeral happened just very close to the border of liberia and worth remembering during the 201320158 bold outbreak in the region well it all started in that very region and and these funerals that were super spread over 60 percent of all infections came from funerals and that's because of the practices that happened during those burials of people washing their hands in common basins and then touch the body of the deceased and then there is the washing of the body itself which favors the transmission of the virus. dozens of people

have been killed in fighting in northern yemen the rebels have intensified their attacks against forces from the internationally recognized government victoria gate as the latest. yemeni soldiers fire at taking positions west of. the things they're trying to seize the city the internationally recognized government's last stronghold in the north. their spokesman says that only targeting government forces but residents dispute that over how ballmer the night and we call for an immediate cease of the belligerent war against civilians and there are no military barracks or posts in the city there are no militants or fighters in mark it's only home to civilians students and displaced yemenis. yemen's government has been locked in a power struggle ever since the he captured the capital sanaa in 2014 it's called on the people a marriage to help the army defend the city yemeni commanders say that determined

not to lose control of it. mary will always remain steadfast standing as high as the mountains by virtue of its brave men the men of the national army and popular resistance along with the on astroids who were all standing in defiance defending the city it is and will always be the heartland of our republic. saudi arabia has invested heavily in the recent is the saudi coalition has intensified and strikes to stop the hit these from seizing the city i think it goes to show that you know there's much work to be done you know on behalf of the yemenis to advance peace and shows that you know the who these have made in amends you know they have a lot of momentum militarily but you know the international community needs to do what it needs to do to support diplomacy in a peaceful ceasefire negotiation. the upsurge in violence comes as the u.s. is due to lift its terrorist designation for the hit these on cheese day. president

year left. the discussion is over when he's time began and maurice took office in 2017 because of the political instability in the country but protesters say the constitution says something else a deceiver spoke to foreign minister. over the political crisis in the caribbean nation the large sectors in the country that that say that what's happening now is illegal and the president said that there was an attempt on his life that are cool it was being set up in haiti 3 judges from the supreme court were removed one of them was detained so if haiti's democracy at risk is not a democracy at risk what the government is trying to do. doing most to keep it is to preserve the marcos in haiti. we have seen over and over how of some politicians in some

oligarchs or 'd trying to lose all illegal means to actually claim power in haiti so this is exactly what is going on now but foreign minister you're talking about oligarchs and about how they handle power in haiti but when you look at the streets of haiti the people of that are on the streets demanding change demanding action criticizing the president are actually demanding that their lives improve i mean they're not oligarchy so i mean what do you say to them no they are not oligarch or democracy it's not only here in the united states of great democracy how you can call it you have people of. testing and some of them are not i should say use of violent means but the entrusting thing here is that the government is paying

attention to what the people asking they are asking for they lived to be improved those are legitimate concerns and we agree and the government is a walking on the president says he will call for a referendum that would lead to the reform of haiti's constitution and says legislative and presidential elections will happen this year the international community including the oas and the u.s. seem to support the president's move on the streets discontent is on the rice and people say they will make sure they won't be annoyed. still ahead on al-jazeera catalonia separatist parties edge a head in an election overshadowed by coronavirus fears. and the race to the red planet when mars has become the focus of multiple space missions.
