just clubs outside germany they were able to spread their message far beyond their hamburg home but some pollies history is far from innocent the club is sending out a warning about the rise in popularity of far right parties like the. nazis and fascists have no place in something today. this is al jazeera. 1500 hours g.m.t. here on al-jazeera i'm come all santamaria welcome to the news hour a newly formed palestinian israeli party is projected to have won seats in the general election possibly giving it a big say in the future of benjamin netanyahu. also

homeless again we report on the plight of tens of thousands of virginia refugees after a fire camp in bangladesh after weeks of international pressure a 1000000 miles military rule has released hundreds of protesters who were arrested after last month's coup. and the european commission is considering tightening exports of covert 19 back scenes after concerns over shortages of the astra zeneca jam. and sport former head of world football said blatter has been given a 2nd ban by the organization he used to work for an investigation by favre has found blatter deal to multiple breaches of their ethics code. well run not to some of the votes have been counted in israel's 4th alexion in 2 years and unexpectedly it is a small palestinian israeli party which may hold the key united arab list party

crossed the threshold needed to enter parliament and with a majority out of reach for both the liquid party and the coalition of opposition policies opposing it well prime minister netanyahu may have to rely on that group for support but is natacha going to reports now from west to resume any coalition that will be a complicated thing. according to israel's central elections committee prime minister benjamin netanyahu has a path to forming the 5th government in 2 years but it'll be a difficult one it appears the netanyahu bloc is poised to secure $59.00 seats of a required 61 in the knesset there's no reason why we should go to a 5th election and they must come to nothing and say we want to be part of the government we accept the results of this round and form a right of center a government that could aggressively pursue the opportunities. we have ahead of us . the religious die in his party an alliance of the far right fared better than

anticipated and is expected to bring its projected 6 seats to a netanyahu government members of the party have been banned in the past for anti palestinian sentiment the palestinian israeli parties are projected to lose seats this round voter turnout was low the parties previously voted as one bloc under the arab joint list but the group splintered at a 2nd conservative party called the united arab list formed now its leader months. could potentially do something unheard of previously support netanyahu government likud party members remain divided on what would be a historic alliance critics such as opposition leader year look peak at the yes party say netanyahu is drive to remain in power is centered on finding a way to evade prosecution on corruption charges and they argue forging ties with

a religious zionist party would create a racist ultra conservative government but in this election netanyahu must attempt to forge a coalition with diverse smaller parties given the narrow divide between the pro and anti netanyahu camps that means these smaller parties and their leaders find themselves with a huge influence in determining israel's political path forward natasha does era was jerusalem. right more with harry folsom in west jerusalem now hi harry just when you think it's all going to be predictable just as it was again this happens take us through the process from now on and i mean is there a time frame on what we can expect. well yes the israeli president has a certain period during which to assess who is the most likely of the contenders to

be able to form a coalition government that is usually the leader of the party the single party that has got the most votes in the elections so that is likely to be benjamin netanyahu and then he would have in the 1st instance 4 weeks from that point to try to put together such a coalition but this development which looks not to have happened when the exit polls and even hours later after the exit polls came out late on tuesday night with the united arab list having not apparently made it past the 3.25 percent share of the vote required even to get in to the parliament now that they have done it has really set everything on its head because now block is under the margin so is the potential opposition there are those in the could who are talking about potentially working with months or of 1 us the leader of this party who has tried to position the parties since deciding to break away from the rest of the joint

list as somewhere in the middle between those those 2 rival camps between some of the mainstream and even right wing zionist parties and the palace in israeli arab parties he says he's doing so for pragmatic reasons to try to get policy on the ground in favor of his constituents and to do such a thing he would consider working with either the right or the left can't he doesn't want a label but if he worked with netanyahu there are 2 ways you could do it either unprecedently entering a coalition with the likud and its other right wing allies or by promising not to vote against a minority government made up of those constituent parts if that happened he would find himself working on the same side as this extreme right wing grouping the religious zionist move. which contains descendants of a party that was deemed so anti arab racist in the 1990 s. that it was banned from the knesset altogether so huge contradictions there but

also on the other side too there is a broad ideal tical spectrum of and hundreds and you know who parties some of whom are themselves very right wing even further right wing the netanyahu who also say they would not work with what they see as a conservative islamist parties such as that led by months or about so it's extraordinarily complicated the gears a grinding once again in this long running political crisis and still no obvious resolution at hand fascinating isn't it so interesting thank you harry for sit in west jerusalem a little more now on what it takes and what's in play to form the government in israel it's the knesset it's a 120 member legislature just so the magic number to come to power the ones in blue 61 of them now projections show that that number all of those blue ones would elude netanyahu and his the could party also likely not possible for the coalition of parties which pose some and as we were just hearing from harry that small

palestinian israeli party which the polls to say could win as many as 5 seats could be holding the balance of power is residential system it's a complex form of proportional representation which as we've seen makes it quite difficult for any single party to win an election outright more without senior political analysts now bashara marwan i don't even think we mentioned the name in months or yesterday when we were going through all the possibilities and what could happen suddenly he sees himself in the spotlight and as harry was saying possibly not just with likud but with the far right party even for israeli politics this is pretty extraordinary. it is extraordinary that's why i don't think it's realistic. you know theoretically anything can happen theoretically there is no difference between theoretically and practically in practice there is so i don't think in real life that we're going to see.

enough that the benefit of the i mean a party the extreme right wing parties sit with us in the same correlation sentinel you want to see the zionist religious party the most extreme of the most extreme religious fundamentalist jewish parties sitting together in the same coalition as that and islamist party i don't see it at all what i would see is in the next month or $45.00 days that there would be a lot of maneuvering and that the neo would use a bus up bus would use that and yeah i would order for both of them to try to entice other parties to join but those with a bit of a memory. the little number how not then you know in the mid ninety's incited against then prime minister yitzhak rabin forwarded a ring to depend on a palestinian party in the knesset in order to pass and it was

it you shouldn't within parliament so much so that that incitement was whipped up so feverish really that it led to the assassination of yitzhak rabin in 1995 that was not there now and that is still not there now nothing now that incite it to that killing or one israeli prime minister because he depended on and on and at a party will not depend on on a body himself. it's 2021 the now on and i feel i wonder is netanyahu more desperate now to hold on to power given everything is gone through given he's been the prime minister for so long that the corruption charges and all of these things and what he might say. this is what's so both fascinating and disturbing about this whole episode because we

are now faced with a situation that basically the one person who can theoretically form a government would be in at any hour and i think it would be doing that by peeling off some of the members of the of the of the midsized parties offering them ministerial positions or even mid-sized parties themselves like the white party or whoever it is and offering them really entice in all sorts in order for them to join the government and even that is meant to parch farfetched because he doesn't only want them to join the government to change the judiciary both in order to appease the religious parties and in order for him not to go on trial so i think that would be his spot however and i think this is probably the thing that we have not discussed yet and that's why he could be the deal maker that he is that the he is also the biggest obstacle for the photograph of a likud led coalition government if not then your whole leaves the scene

or not just off the helm of the liquid party somehow you could then could form a coalition government but a good number of midsize parties in israel including its nemesis yes i could including blue and white party including that new whole party including the i mean a party and so on and so forth so he could has potential to form a government it would be great for israel it won't be good for the palestinians it won't be great for peace but it is possible if not then your lives the seat wow going to be interesting isn't it thank you bashara is out senior political analyst thank you. on to other news and officials in bangladesh are investigating what caused a fire at the world's largest refugee camp at least 15 people were killed hundreds more are missing and coaxes bizarre monday's fire destroyed thousands of shelters

a camp which houses more than a 1000000 refugees from mean more of the u.n. says nearly 45000 of them have lost their homes tanveer chandru with more now from cults is bizarre. what you see behind me is the last. now many of these huts were actually burned they were built overnight some of them are 10 some of them are bumble toppling so they were built overnight to provide shelter there is a coordinated effort by all the aid agency is and the government to clear this area and to start building new shelters a lot of the people on taking shelter in their family and friends houses some of them has been eco mandated in temporary tents others and community centers and schools now this camp was one of the largest area that got burned they had clinics that learning centers in formal school that are gone it took years to build them and a lot of questions will be raised why this fire incident happening what is the reason

i mean one of the culprit is the gas cylinder used for cooking but the refugees are not trained to deal with these issues why frequently this thing happen in future this has to be dealt with i mean a lot of life being last about hundreds of people are still missing many of them are children you've got to realize half the population in this camp are children they're highly traumatised the government is also taking many of them to a remote coastline and the plan is to move 100000 people there 14000 have been moved they said it's because of security and decongestion reason so this people are really frustrated and shows they don't know what their future holds with political situation in myanmar and their fate is up to others they don't have much say on the decision making process we've also heard from the result of an who's a spokeswoman for the un refugee agency she's in cults as bizarre and said the situation really is done. honestly the the images the pictures don't do justice to

the scale of the devastation it's really it's the biggest fire that we've ever experienced and they come sun and and it's affected huge numbers of people 45000 people have been made homeless over nice you know the numbers of injured as over 400 people and there are still more than 300 people who are unaccounted for so i mean we're working around the clock all of the humanitarian agencies in terms of shelter food and water but also to deal with the trauma that these people have been through most of these people fled violence terrible press occasion in myanmar just over 3 years ago and to have to go through such a severe trauma again it's really really devastating obviously in such densely populated refugee camps when a fire does does stars it's very difficult to control people are living in in flimsy shelters tarpaulin them the majority of the refugees who were affected in yesterday's fire are being are being housed by neighbors by relatives and friends in camps nearby and we're also providing temporary accommodation in learning

centers and communal facilities so at the moment our priority is to respond to the immediate needs and and you know we need to support the call on the international community to support us and support the whole humanitarian community to respond to these needs and in just a terribly desperate situation. it is 15 minutes past the hour and here's what's coming up tough talk from nato the u.s. secretary of state's promising his allies action against russia and china after his 1st visit to brussels a crisis in the suez canal how a skyscraper size ship got stuck and blocked one of the world's busiest shipping routes and a long time coming but asian world cup qualifying is about to resume far we'll have that on the rest of the sports a little later. state television says the military is released more than $600.00 protesters arrested

since last month they were released from prison and yank on local human rights group says at least 2000 people have been arrested all up in this military crackdown since last march here is more with lawrence louis in kuala lumpur. dozens of buses were seen leaving into in prison and yangon city on wednesday morning but even with the release of more than 600 detainees still hundreds more in detention and then joe that keeps track of political prisoners says that as of 23rd march 3rd just a day before the release on wednesday morning there were more than 2400 people in detention or who had outstanding warrants now on the non-monetary possibly want to see this release as a goodwill gesture but it certainly shouldn't be taken as a sign that it's going to be taking a soft a stance a man military spokesman said that the internet restrictions in myanmar are going to remain in place and that the focus next is going to be on those who provoke on rest now the protesters are not out on the streets on wednesday but this isn't

a sign that there's going to that the opposition to the coup is dying down even though people are genuinely afraid that they are going to be arrested they are changing their tactics now protesters instead of staying home the organizers say these this is called they're calling it a slide and strike and the objective one of the objectives is to honor those who have died throughout the weeks of protests but another objective really is to counter what the gentleman saying that things are slowly returning back to normal in myanmar now wednesday was also supposed to be the day that hearing day for the trial of aung san suu kyi the democratically elected leader but her trial has once again been postponed and those postponement is likely to add on to many people who believe that she's not going to get a fair trial a place to welcome maria kids and now senior research at the danish institute for international studies she focuses on justice and security in may and now with us from copenhagen alone thank you for your time is the pressure working is it as

simple as that we've been wondering about when we might see something else 600 prisoners it's a good number. yeah i mean it's quite surprising because it is said just before the military has since at least in february escalated to buying crack townson and protestors and it hasn't really released a statement yet not to my knowledge so we don't know what's behind all of this but i think there can be to 2 things at play here what is it recent international and fresh air saw yesterday also russia and china not condemning that group but showing concern and of what's going on and we know from previously that the military despite bryant has been tried to sell created image that it is sort of. this release of the mississippi to this kind of efforts to improve its image you know that they have had and it's very canadian. city where this sort of international

image is a best of one thing that the other is also the eternal question i mean this all seeing over the past weeks and months the resilience of the public protests the message participation people and what we're all seeing at least since the beginning of march is that also it's become a muslim not a couple of the sisters ethnic religious generational and gender bias that we could have been made to before the crew of people from direst suits come together and we also have to remember that a lot of what the military does can be quite arbitrary or quite minor it seems i mean when they arrested. it was charging her with illegal use of a walkie talkie or something so yes it could really 600 people today but equally it could arrest a whole lot more tomorrow. yes i mean some people who are going to have already been arrested today so i don't think hissing and suits it and made it serious crackdown but it my be

a way of southern saying that well it's not charges against people who are going to use them because one of the things that they've been trying to do is to say we're only cracking down on protesters to either be opposing the system so they're trying to use any people and even i think what is really interesting is what is going on right now is that there is also these stocks and more units a coming to to that end it he us is just part of and the ethnic groups so just to say see. point inspection and hurry you end up this politic it's got the committee that said in that in that sort of the union parliament sitting with that he has a problem we're all reaching up recognizing the trustees that committed against her or him we've seen a lot of videotapes so that if these bursts is going on he's also reaching out to some of the ethnic on stations that could rent the shan and others would be fighting for

a condition that lower to the border to respond many many details and we've heard also this particular video now committed to a federal democracy and i think step political moves is also creating some kind of pressure not missing the cracks within the military get more stepping down but i think it is perhaps we can hope that it's making the one of a considering what it's been doing because i think at the beginning of the group that military did have a strategy with its occupation of having holding an election of reaching out to some of the ethnic minority groups that were disappointed with and music what has been music historically divided group tactics or exploiting this it's really in the majority of data d. or one ethnic groups but only a few political plan just some of the ethnic groups act. he. joined so many other secondary that he made a sign and was starting. to. have that i'm going to leave you there because we've

got some other news to get you but thank you for your time and then. they come and they can now press freedom once again in the spotlight in hong kong a veteran journalist from the public broadcasters on trial after investigating police misconduct by choice has pleaded not guilty to charges she made false statements to get the data she used in a documentary support from hong kong with her clock. normally behind the camera on wednesday a t.v. producer about choice was the subject of media attention as she faced her 1st day on trial sorry i cannot speak much we thought her legal proceedings greeting the veteran journalist at court were group of supporters who say this trial is an attack on hong kong's media freedom we feel that we have to stand up for her as well as standing up for freedom of press in hong kong about choice has been charged for her role in a t.v. documentary that exposed what it said was police misconduct during the anti-government protests central to the investigation of allegations police

colluded with a group of gang members violently attacked pro-democracy supporters in a train station in 2019. a government database to identify the owners of vehicles near the location that nice police say that information was obtained illegally media groups a choice was just doing her job it does raise questions about government transparency when it comes to data and potential legal terrorism when the or all it is go after reporters you know in quite weird wonderful and never end of it wave i don't think anyone would have expected that this. would have been arrested over something like this this trial has intensified concerns over media censorship in hong kong this territory was once a bastion of press freedom in asia it's now fallen to 88 in the world press freedom index and the introduction of beijing's national security law in july last year has increased the risks for journalists reporting on potentially sensitive subjects

media tycoon jimmy lie has been arrested in recent months and remains in jail the city's public broadcaster r t h k also suspended its oldest satirical show after accusations it insulted the hong kong police some international media organizations including the new york times have moved the asia digital hub and a. food of this stuff to south korea there has been an ongoing restriction or restricting of the base for free reporting in hong kong each of these incidents is different in its own way but together they paint a pretty clear picture that you know independent reporting is under some threat in hong kong this is the 1st time a journalist has been put on trial the coverage of the anti-government protests about choi has pleaded not guilty but her supporters fear her wrist might not be the last series al-jazeera hong kong it's day 2 of the nato talks in

brussels and foreign ministers are hoping to strengthen the alliance against both russia and china many of eyes on the u.s. secretary said antony blinken his challenge would be to rebuild washington's ties with nato after the trumpet minister and administration took a more hostile approach then can reaffirm the importance of america's partnership with the e.u. especially when it comes to countering beijing again what's so important both with regard to to nato and the issues we're dealing with but also the e.u. and our partnership with with the e.u. is that. when we are working together when we are speaking with one voice when we are acting together we are much stronger and much more effective than if any single one of us is doing it alone blinken went on to urge fellow nato member turkey to get rid of its russian add defense system he met turkey's foreign minister medvedev is still you on the sidelines of the talks in brussels on korea's

purchase of the russian s 400 missiles has led to divisions within nato some members say the system is a security risk and they worry about turkey developing closer ties with moscow just a bit more on this with kennedy how could i white house correspondent there is plenty on anthony lincoln's plate already wasn't there when talking about china and then russia and now we add the turkey element in as well. yeah well that was not a surprise given the fact that there have been long concerns about turkey's alliances due to the purchase of that defense system that is not compatible with other systems so there have been efforts that preceded. the bride administration and will continue in terms of making sure that as a member of nato that it's goals are aligned with the other members now to that end there were other grave concerns and that is china also russia and afghanistan all

of those were addressed in a post meeting press conference where we had the opportunity to hear from the secretary of state he was asked with regard to afghanistan whether or not this may 1st imminent deadline for withdrawing u.s. troops and where the u.s. president stands on that it's clear that there's been no defense posture change on the part of the nato troops so as a result the question becomes where do the u.s. soldiers stand this is something that is still under review we understand according to the secretary of state that he is relaying the views of the members to the commander in chief joe biden now to that end with respect to the concerns about russia and also china it's very clear that this is an administration that feels that when it is in the u.s. national security interests that there are areas where they can work with their adversaries but at the same time the united states looking for global cooperation with partners and allies to deal with both russia and china particularly when it

comes to china what we've taken away from these comments is a slightly softer tone given the fact that there was a very tough meeting that took place about 5 days ago in alaska where the secretary of state met with his chinese counterpart did not go well in fact the chinese pointing out that perhaps the united states should be pointing fingers when it comes to concerns about democracy and human rights given some of the social on. asked that exists here in the united states so it appears that that told him that strong tell him that the secretary of state took 5 days ago has been softened in his post meaning comments that we've heard in the last couple of hours now pointing out that when it comes to china there are areas of cooperation and mutual concern particularly when it comes to working collaboratively when it comes to health security and also on climate change thank you for that company how could a white house correspondent well governor

a common user when we come back she waited 20 years for justice after being raped and tortured but a journalist in colombia wants more than an apology. and in sport we'll hear from tennis as well number 2 is going to continue with impressive start to the new season. how is that we've got lots of fabulous sunshine across much of the middle east as we should do and it's warm sunshine as well but look further north loss of class showing up here and boys it cold we're struggling to get to freezing still in ankara big dropping temperatures continue going to fair bit of snow coming in across the turkish mountains but look further south with 35 degrees warmer than that and we'll see those temperatures picking up even further as we go on into friday so some warm spring sunshine coming through across much of the arabian

congo ships blocked it in both directions the 400 meter long 200000 ton ship operated by the evergreen company was knocked off course by strong winds and tugboat spent much of tuesday trying to dislodge it yanks and created a backlog as well with tankers carrying saudi russian and american oil stuck in that important waterway where prices did initially fall concerns about global crude floods but they have since rebounded so here's the suez canal on the map as we zoom in running 193 kilometers between the mediterranean and the red sea without its ships going from europe to asia would have to go all the way around the southern tip of africa in some cases we'd be talking about a journey of 70000 kilometers or more of the original canal has been around for a long time it opened in 1969 actually after 10 years of dredging and construction in the 152 years since it's grown to carry up to 12 percent of all global shipping

trade including around $4000000.00 barrels of crude oil a day and creates revenues for in the region of $5600000000.00 from the nearly $19000.00 ships that pass through each year lot of numbers there we're going to put it into context with jerry north which is chairman of the risk management and security company modesty's joining us from wilshere in the u.k. . gerry the the accident itself it's all caught in an accident the fact that giant ship like that one of the biggest cargo ships in the world could get as they're saying blown off course by strong winds. i once i do you buy that but can you explain it to us. yes but most is a very likely explanation it could also have been a. sadia as you say in the past has been shot actually for much longer periods as a result of conflict in the region so what i'm showing us is there is there is an inherent honor. as you pointed out it's a major strategic. waterway it's

a choke point and therefore busy a lot of shipping goes through and if something does happen many can be very very disruptive to well shipping and they have been a c.e.o. of the global community to get goods from one end. of the world to the other is there a problem in that well ships keep growing in size don't they bigger and bigger they become this one nearly 400 meters long i believe and that the infrastructure in this case a canal actually isn't really equipped for that. certainly the world's major canals and suicide but both. take greater capacity but perhaps the right the growth of the ships. is effectively 2 things really it's putting more eggs into one basket you know the whole container so when things do go. there is a big disruption just from one vessel and of course the fact they are launching means that when it goes wrong you are 'd more likely to have a a more survey

a problem to sort out as you say with this particular vessel which of course has completely blocked. so that what they've done is reopen part of the old canal and at least been able to get traffic moving again but i guess what it shows us and you've said it's a choke point and the knock on effect oil could have been affected by this if it was even worse and really if it is blocked there's no other option other than going all the way around africa and that just i mean that changes the game entirely doesn't it. yes i mean is it is a bit of a warning is it is a reminder of the vulnerability of the checkpoints and the potential for destruction it could have been a terrorist incident you know had that vessel been. been bombed by a terrorist organization then it might be even more to. the situation and of course if you do end up having to revert to. using the longer route then you

will get something in the range of or $2.00 to $3.00 weeks. disruption to won't trade whilst it tries to sort itself out plus of course the added expense of a longer journey yeah good reminders for us isn't it thank you for that jerry jerry northward joining us from will should i thank you thank you very much now britain wants to make it harder for refugees who enter the u.k. illegally to apply for asylum the home secretary principi tells proposed new legislation that would overhaul the country's asylum system she says the reforms are designed to be fair to genuine asylum seekers while clamping down on people traffic it's. german chancellor angela merkel is reversing the new measures for these to holiday just a day after they were announced that decision follows widespread criticism of the government's latest plans to curb the spread of covert 19 michael says the planned

shutdown risks doing more harm than good but tough restrictions included a ban on large gatherings and a closure of most shops for 5 days from the 1st of april. meanwhile the european union is proposing tougher export rules so more covert $1000.00 vaccines can go to e.u. citizens shipments of vaccines would be assessed on the destination country's rate of vaccination and it ensures manufacturers have fulfilled their contracts with the e.u. thing is it could increase tension with the u.k. with the rollout has benefited from that steady supply of the astra zeneca vaccine e.u. leaders meet on thursday energy to discuss the proposed plan talking to a challenge about this one now rory what the european is proposing i mean there is some sense to it in that they're trying to get the vaccine to those who might need it more but it just can create more problems as we say with the u.k. . yeah and there's this is

a relationship in which you don't need more problems and there are at the moments basically the e.u. is insisting that this is not targeted at any specific country but it does feed into this ongoing wrangling between the u.k. and the e.u. over vaccines and. this. is the e.u. commission and executive vice president in charge of the economy it says just since the introduction of the export authorization system some 10000000 doses have been exported from the e.u. to the u.k. and 0 doses have been exported from the u.k. to the e.u. so there is a little bit of niggle to this if you want to use a kind of sporting term sporting phrase basically if these are this question of why is it that the u.k. is doing so well with its vaccination program it has over half of the adult population with at least one dose of the vaccine so far whereas in europe or in the

e.u. that figure is is 10 percent. they're both using the same vaccines and in many cases those vaccines are coming from the same plant so the e.u. is kind of wondering to itself how it's fallen so far behind and whether it can do anything to try and redress the balance the u.k. is saying look this is dangerously close to vaccine nationalism. there might be a situation in which the e.u. would say look at the u.k. and say ok we're doing well with your vaccines you've got your own supply of vaccines and you've got the spread of the virus and more or less under control certainly more than we seem to have a moment therefore we are going to block the export of certain vaccines to you we're not there yet but it certainly could get that that way adding into this perhaps. helpfully from boris johnson has some comments that he made 2 years

backbench m.p.'s very recently way so that the reason why the u.k. is doing so well with its vaccination rollout is because of capitalism and greed mary said that was a kind of off the cuff joking comments but that's not going to go down well in brussels and no absolutely not thank you rory chalons for that update the current situation in europe. brazil meanwhile recording its highest daily number of coronavirus deaths since the beginning of the pandemic more than 3200 people died on tuesday brazil's been reporting the world's highest daily number of fatalities for weeks doctors believe a local variant of the virus is causing a rise in infections and deaths hospitals pushed to breaking point and supplies of medical oxygen are running out as well so in brazil the supreme court has ruled the former president little to silver was not treated fairly in a series of corruption investigations just a 2nd to see it reversed her earlier position to tip the court's 5 judge panel in

lula's favor it means the court is likely to throw out evidence in corruption cases against him strengthening his political candidacy for next year's election against the current president. now the international committee of the red cross is colombia's humanitarian situation worsened last year because of violence against civilians during the pandemic but found there were more than $300.00 victims $350.00 victims of explosive devices the highest number in the last 4 years after a resurgence of conflict between the state and a number of armed groups. in bogota can you give us some more information from this it's an interesting situation that's been presented. yes it's definitely a very alarming pictures a series of warring trends that the international committee of the red cross has documented in this latest report as you were saying there has been an increase in

the number of violent incidents in particularly in a number of regions along the border with the when this where laying this out on the border with ecuador and in the pacific region of choke or and on the border with panama in the north to the country all these regions have seen an increase in the number of incidents as the state is fighting a number of received or groups in some cases it has to do with these armed groups fighting each others and all of this has had major consequences for the communities living in these areas and other worrying trend is the fact that these explosive devices for example were found or there were incidents related to these explosive devices in $69.00 when he was in the country $41.00 of these had had no incident the previous year in 2019 so overall what the red cross is saying is that in these

to be very careful the situation is not as bad as it was 20 years ago and the height of the internal conflict in that country but we are seeing a resurgence in areas where these kind of incidents are seen to be a thing of the past and how does the pandemic play into all of this as well how remind us i guess how bad the situation has been there. absolutely well these incidents are happening and particularly in remote areas of the country that are isolated that have little state presence to begin with now the pandemic has made this even more so and humanitarian or again or again these ations like the red cross that are operating in this area have not been able to assist these communities in many cases for months a day have the community themselves have become the 1st responders because of the restrictions that have been imposed both by the colombian government and in some

cases by these armed groups that are fighting for control of these tory they also impose their own restrictions or they have not let the health services reach these areas this has happened through much of 2020 and unfortunately is still happening today and that's why the red cross is also calling on both the government and these armed groups to facilitate for example actions should back sitting in d.c. area and also the fact that they need health services to reach these areas the red cross is saying that 32325 cases of. service is operating in this region that have been attacked by armed groups in the middle of the fighting between the armed groups in the state thank you alexandra. people in argentina are commemorating the anniversary of the 1976 that led to

a military government and some of the worst human rights abuses recorded last century fewer people are attending these demonstrations this year of course because of the pandemic but it hasn't stopped the investigation into what happened to those who died or who went missing to receive our reports from when the sars. it was argentina's largest detention camp during the years of military dictatorship and now for the 1st time from one of its airstrips this specially equipped plane is about to take off on a mission to search for mass graves in the area the military base in what a site is called. it covers an area of over $5000.00 hectares. to capacity to search for coordinates x. y. and z. it has the virtue of period reaching the vegetation today will be scanning the area of. the plane has been equipped with technology that marks thousands of points that can be later analyzed those points could be burial sites

of the real lesson activist disappeared during the dirty war in the 1970 s. and eighty's thousands of people were disappeared during the military dictatorship in this country of this are some of what makes the task more difficult in the 3rd to find them is that the abuse never revealed what they did to them it is known that one of the favorite methods used where what is known as the death flights where people were thrown into the river or the ocean they were never seen again. human rights trials are ongoing in argentina and members of the security forces are being confronted with what they allegedly did over 40 years ago this year vs whom because of the pandemic. the search flights seek to unearth the secrets of what happened in company and the death flights. took off from there now for the 1st time

conscripts have started to speak about what they saw at the base when people were being disappeared. i saw our own 9 people and i'm not sure because they were passing very fast i saw people with long hair and beard. that is the leader of a team of experts who specialize in searching for people killed in conflict he says the new technology will help shed light on one of the darkest periods in argentina's history. once the data is analyzed we were used to physics like geo radars to detect if there's something in the areas mucked by the loiter so later on we can go and investigate that what is important is this is a military location and almost no country in the world has been allowed to search for bodies in military locations and it's one of the 1st times we're very careful with expectations especially among the relatives and relatives of those who were disappeared continue to search for their loved ones. they still have the hope human

rights abuses will reveal what they did to them they say that only the truth will bring them to. sports news is coming up on another ban for the former head of world football far a will have that story in just a moment.

back with sorrow for your sports news thank you so much mom former head of world football step ladder has been given a new ban by the organization he used to work for an investigation by fifa found blatter guilty of multiple breaches of their ethics code this latest suspension is

for an additional 6 years and 8 months the 85 year old has been banned from football since 2015 for making what was described as a disloyal payment to former you a for boston shoplifting me the ban was due to end in october well joining us now from london is andrew warshaw from inside world football dot com and andrew what do you make of this of the timing of this latest bad. well i think for our good afternoon from london. well one thing's for sure it's the end of the road. for sept last and probably for jones well it was or so banned by the ethics committee but of course the all powerful talk to a free for so many years but it has to be said don't forget sepp blatter is 85 now he's has not been in good health he had heart surgery in december he's convalescing now is coming back ends in 7 months that really what he was was trying to do was

clear his name i don't think there was any ever any doubt that he would return to football and this ban you know obviously now is is makes it very clear to him he won't return and i would be very surprised if sharon val did either because his cover band ends in 2025 so that's another 6 years and 8 months on top of that both these bands should be said to come into effect when the current ones end so as i said at the start is very much the end of the road for both of them ok and now the current thief a boss johnny and think he now is facing his own criminal investigation what his hell is about that. yes i mean the the timing of the latest punishments is interesting to say the least far because as you say it in fact you know is employed in a criminal prosecution by the swiss judicial authorities and these

relate to undocumented conversations he had with the former swiss attorney general who since being replaced. vehemently denies forwards has done. that he was with was guilty of any wrongdoing whatsoever and i think this is at the very least this will be seen as as another effort by facebook to distance the coming regime of him since you know with the past administration led by step ladder in general about but obviously there will be those who say well does it deflect from his own case. pays your money takes a choice but certainly there will be those out there who feel that the one thing is to show this does definitely i think it's another step. for fee for in distancing themselves from the past. and you were shot from inside world football dot com thank you so much for your time thanks paula. european qualifying for the
