it's in the job market itself. it is essentially the perfect crime you have a diplomatic bag that hong kong is so rich al-jazeera investigates the poaches pipeline. al-jazeera. hello i'm not matheson this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes ethiopia's prime minister says at a train the forces will leave the conflict hit a region of t. great where they've been accused of committing war crimes. china sanctions organizations and individuals in the u.k.

after reports on the abuse of muslim leaders and in region. france accuses britain of vaccine blackmail as leaders meet to discuss the global pandemic and regional challenges. and thousands of venezuelans escaped to colombia journey in fighting between the military and an armed rebel group. and i stammered have your schools germany italy and england all make winning starts in a campaign to qualify for the world cup and so to sweden with the help of the latter. to set up the winning goal in his return to international football. if he says that a trade is agreed to withdraw its forces from the northern seagrave region where they have been accused of killing raping and torturing civilians primus i'll be on that has just returned from talks in their training capital

a smaller than growing calls for editor ame troops to pull out if the opium launched a military offensive there in november accusing the region's governing party of destabilizing the country. when the allegations against at a train forces began to emerge soon after ethiopia launched its military operation but for months primus deny it eritrean forces were in the country a lot changed on tuesday when he admitted their involvement there have been international calls for an investigation into the violence u.s. secretary of state and the blinking is described as acts of ethnic cleansing the u.n. estimates nearly 2300000 people or nearly half of tier its population are at risk of starvation or in need of emergency food aid and nearly 60000 people have escaped into neighboring sudan will catherine so he's joining us live now from the kenyan capital nairobi catherine talk us through this statement 1st of all but also of course the all important timeline is there

a deadline for this happening. well we're waiting for more information from the prime minister's office on what exactly was discussed on timelines and things like that but this announcement by solve comes i think as a big relief to many to gran's especially in border areas where the eritrean forces have all cupid and this is because of the very frosty relationship retrack has had with the region of to grande with p.p.l. f. this is the original of story 2 there and you know the regional forces there now prime minister himself has been a lot of has been under a lot of pressure to explain what has been going on in to guy and to explain the presence of very trance forces and he has denied that there are any forces from the neighboring country and till. the week when he made a statement in parliament meeting of the presence of there

a trend in packs of the north of northwest guy saying that the reason that there is because when the if you open national forces were pushing that to grand forces out of that region it into central to great to the capital mechelen then they could that was sort of a security vacuum and their experience forces had to come in to for 2 to form sort of a buffer zone and they also said that the eritrean government felt threatened when one of the rockets was launched into asmara the copy told by the grand forces so like i said it comes as a huge surprise that we're still waiting for the timeline but a lot of people also saying that there needs to be in the investigations because there are trends forces have also as you mentioned in the introduction been accused of human rights abuses in the guy. catherine thanks very much indeed catherine saw you talking to us from the kenyan capital nairobi well i want to bring in william

davis and he's a senior ethiopia analyst at the international crisis group and he's joining us live on skype from nairobi in kenya it's good to have you with us on knowledge is it we know that primus i'll be on that seems to have been reticent about missing that editorial forces where actually in the country he's now done that what's pushed him to make this announcement about them leaving now the mounting evidence of involvement in this be a definite fact in reports by the likes number 6 national human rights watch eritrea trust his absence if he was subjected to media reports and then we saw a report by once one of us federal institution that you think human rights commission that confirmed those eritrean atrocities and acts so became a very hard think that night and then of course we had the international pressure recently by the new u.s. administration calling all the eritrean withdrawal so i think a combination of those events are to explain this this announcement that the prime

minister's office has made if they had a train troops leave what's not going to mean for the situation on the ground into gray. and this is perhaps the most important question. and i think most people's understanding of the conflict and it is difficult to understand exactly what is happening inside the greatest telecommunications blackout there not much at all so you don't want but if the eritrean troops withdraw or not it's a it if they took a withdrawal which is a big then that could mean that it would be very difficult. to the military to completely crush this rebellion by the socal to great defense forces so it's really not clear what the implications are or what the military strategy here is from the federal government that they are also looking to pursue some statistics. which is very much needed because that would allow the rapid expansion of humanitarian

access that is so desperately require. the to ethiopia and government has been reticent in allowing people in side organizations like aided and says but also journalists of course into into to go to to identify what's going on there we understand the u.n. saying they're planning to refugee camps into guy have been completely destroyed what does this mean in terms of any possible prosecutions against editor a in troops who have been accused of human rights abuses into guy. well along with the announcement we've seen today for example of the missionary training early in the. recent weeks we've also seen expanded access for the media as well as some humanitarian workers instagram we have also seen trial misses and movements of the government in terms of from the states when pressed against abuses hold those forces responsible to wear caps and that is involved you know now times of a partnership with the u.n. investigation is there is it was a lot about what he meant that could be investigated but just as we need every

trend withdrawal the question is about the details and about implementation of course if we do see fully fledged international investigation and they find that some of these atrocities are indeed. then that could well lead to the type prosecutions of both the eritrean and european forces that you are so it's. really good to get your thoughts on this william davidson we appreciate it thank you very much indeed. thank you very much so areas defense ministry says it will be taking action to protect its oil facilities that's after yemen's who launched a series of drone attacks inside the military and oil sites one sparked a fire i don't all distribution station near their shared border the saudi government has condemned the incident as an act of sabotage who think military spokesman says the attack marks the 6th anniversary of the saudi led offensive on yemen. over him for i had an associate professor in international

conflict resolution at the doha institute for graduate studies he's joining us by skype from here in doha it's good to have you with us this is not the 1st time that the who things have carried out attacks like this obviously but the intensity does seem to be growing and the range of targets what does that tell us about what the movies are trying to achieve. yeah well i think that a train to achieve to the principle we have seen a pattern is collision on the hoof the side that also the south side in the last 2 months where there's i think they believe the way to start that sell their taxes by attacking in the minds out there a lot of why some panic it's like warts and all in the slides and similar products and so i think that's one reason why you would see that the other reason i think is that this is going to join one find it with the american

movement in or the in the war in yemen and to disengage from its involvement and support the child that is. in the war in yemen and i think this is the most that part that causes the way they see it is that they would be if the left and let's make a whole lot now on the on this will significantly improve their negotiation position who has the upper hand on the ground business whether landslip will also as a negotiation position and who they're the they're the achievements somebody or chairman in addition to that i would like also to bring the. lead you mention that this to understand this but that is that we're also seeing. some kind go a stalemate with on the negotiation with. the other. project with the on.

board that i think you're on the right also of course get it but at sight because that i was strongly demanding that the us live not as a sanction and for that i think been trying to skimp on yemen as well as them the means of the live show at this level of this generation i think reflects order of support for the whole build. to try to improve that negotiation position and also of course is that china will. make some movement on that and look at the sanctions and the new bit of negotiation that's not moving very well on that we. would like to see it and i think this explains that escalation that we've seen and also got why in the questions out saudi arabia has been saying that it is going to increase its response of the attacks continue what do you think that response would be but also one wonders why saudi arabia if it has that capability isn't doing it

already. well so that it i think they have used it to think that it could work because this has been awarded in yemen is not only causing a humanitarian disaster in yemen but also has been extremely costly for saudi arabia and now that why can't products that it into that sound economy like that or markets and and imports i don't think sound at ab out you know has options and that is as able to afford to continue to go to see these kind of. over perhaps i think this is an important question and reflects as we saw in the past some sort of a caveat to that unit the package that you know what's out there to be and the united states because the united states providing no i mean you know be it at the source to get it in the polls out there to be ample by the sitting in arms of

hundreds of billions of dollars during time of recession at least and we've not seen that this arms get a billet is that and the security system better so that the united states supply them so that they get is that it was obvious and so i think we're not seeing in my view will some sort of a security if any out in this is part that you that you as americans like to that's i mean it will stop that tax and for that reason i think that who is are the i think that's well and they're picking knots of theirs and it just getting more and more. out of gets including also budgets that we need it not only it will someday be up but will that will be part of that and then it will all of the product side of the production and exports that went back and it's not only something anybody that's been had and also. by the recession is try and this privileged to disengage

from the war in yemen. that's why this kind of escalation to try to negotiate a solution to. part will like to see it but they would like abraham for hands from the institute of graduate studies we appreciate your time sir thank you very much indeed and hear their prime minister abbas johnson says he supports the british politicians lawyers and organizations who've been sanctioned by china johnston says they've been highlighting gross human rights violations perpetrated against muslim leaders beijing is accusing those targeted of spreading lies about what's happening and it's a changing region inches high who now thanks since on chinese individuals and entities citing so-called human rights issues inch ingesting a based on lies and disinformation it breaches international law and basic norms governing international relations and interferes in china's affairs and undermines

bilateral relations the foreign ministry has summoned the british ambassador to lodge representation and express opposition and condemnation have decided to sanction not individuals and for entity's. who has this update from beijing. well beijing is sending the message that it's becoming less sensitive to criticism from the west and that it's not afraid of standing up to what it sees as attacks against what it considers its core interests now we've had since beijing has issued their own sanctions a response from the u.k. foreign secretary dominic rudd who says that beijing should allow access to international human rights experts titian jiang if it has nothing to hide and we've seen this tit for tat between beijing and london becoming increasingly hostile and what as a result has happened is this deterioration between the 2 states now beijing has issued sanctions on 9 individuals and 4 entities in the u.k. which includes a travel ban as well as the freezing of assets in hong kong macau and on the

mainland and this comes after the u.k. joined canada the u.s. and the e.u. and sanctioning shinji on government officials for what they say are human rights abuses in the state against the weak and muslim minority now china has consistently denied these claims the u.k. says up to 1000000 a week as a force to work in labor camps there yet to follow canada and the u.s. and saying that this is genocide but still beijing is furious about this they've continued to deny this and say that these are not labor camps that these are vocational training center is designed to improve the economic opportunities of the weakest. furthermore ahead on the news hour including. i'm scott heiler on the tide myanmar border pie authorities are saying they are preparing for the possibility of a flow of refugees while on the other side an ethnic army saying they are sheltering hundreds were fled the violence. and in support with peter we build up to the opening race of the formula one season in bahrain.

the u.s. president says north korea will face a consequences if it chooses the path of escalation on thursday pyongyang confirmed it tested and you've guided missile north korean officials said the weapon will act as a deterrent against any military threats it was the 1st major provocations since joe biden took office in january. we're consoling with our allies and partners and. there will be responses if they choose to escalate. we will respond accordingly but i'm also prepared. for some form of diplomacy. but it has to be conditioned upon the end result of denuclearization so. that's we're doing right now consoling her

allies south korean president one jay and has called for talks. just about i'm aware that the people are deeply concerned about north korea's missile test firings yesterday now is the time for the south the north and the united states to make efforts to continue dialogue creating difficulties for dialogue is never desirable you know not my bright eyes this update from seoul. north korea has been as you might expect heralding this as a major military success it has released through the official north korean news agency still pictures of the launch showing suitably jubilant north korean senior officials cheering one of the missiles on its way interestingly absent from the picture is the north korean leader kim jong un himself normally he is depicted watching these great milestone military achievements he wasn't apparently at this

launch but they have released more details about this particular type of missile saying it is a newly developed missile an improvement on existing technology also the fact that they say it traveled 600 kilometers and also capable of carrying a payload of 2 and a half tons now military analysts are looking at that and saying that if that is the case then this would certainly be capable of carrying a nuclear warhead this is a short range missile so you're talking about hundreds of kilometers rather than thousands but that certainly is of concern to north korea's neighbors. france is accusing britain of trying to blackmail the european union over the delivery of coronavirus vaccines foreign minister. says the u.k. is under pressure because it doesn't have enough dozes to give people a 2nd shot the e.u. is also facing a shortfall but leaders have failed to come up with a plan to protect distribution dasha botha reports from paris. after

a meeting by video conference it became clear that e.u. leaders were not united behind a proposal by the e.u. commission to curb exports of covert vaccines having promoted the plan you commission head ursula von delenn made little reference to its after the summit preferring instead to focus on the use exports track record let there be no mistake the european union can be proud and is proud to be the home of vaccine producers who are not only delivered to european citizens but export around the globe vandelay and said there was a shortage of vaccine doses in the e.u. because pharmaceutical companies including british swedish giant astra zeneca had failed to deliver the promise doses e.u. council had shown michelle said the blocks priority now was boosting the vaccine rollout if you used the urgent imperative is to people working in europe to improve the production in distribution of toward member states that is the priority we are

totally mobilized rising covert infections and deaths in many countries of put european governments under increased pressure several parts of france including paris are battling a 3rd wave the government has tightened restrictions but unless they ramps up its vaccine rollout some doctors say that the country could be heading into another national lock down one in 10 people in france has received a 1st covert vaccine dose compared to hof of the u.k.'s population france's president said that the e.u. needs a fresh approach. what ripple for the i believe very deeply this is one of the lessons of the crisis for europe as for france we must drastically simplify our responses we are too slow we're too complex we're too stuck in our own bureaucracies cutting coded vaccine exports would be a controversial move for the e.u. and it's not off the table yet for some though the proposal is a sign of desperation as european governments try to end the health crisis for

others it would send a strong message to pharmaceutical companies that the block means business ok let's cross over to natasha in paris so our sort of on the lane has been saying the vaccine companies should be honoring their contracts but the gorkha big question is of course what do they do if they don't. and that was the question that was left unanswered after the 1st day of the e.u. summit $27.00 leaders of the member states meeting by video conference only discuss the covert pandemic they all agreed at the end of the summit it is clear that pharmaceutical companies that have promised doses to the e.u. must deliver those doses o'sullivan delay and the e.u. commission head said that the british swedish their master seneca had only delivered 30 percent of the 90000000 doses it had been contracted to deliver in the

1st quarter of this year said i made it very clear that pharmaceutical companies must must adhere to the commitments in their contracts they must deliver those doses but the question is what will the e.u. do if they do not because that was the question that she failed to answer because it is clear that e.u. leaders failed to unite behind a proposal that had been put forward by the commission to curb exports of covert vaccines the leaders have been pretty divided on this you know you get countries like italy and france who fully supported to say the pharmaceutical companies should face severe penalties if they do not fulfill their contracts but other countries like the netherlands germany belgium far more cautious they didn't want to be involved in what would be seen as vaccine warfare series appends on your perspective but some are saying that the e.u. in fact really failed to deliver on its threat to put in these export curves others

saying that perhaps the e.u. is ramping up the rhetoric ramping up the pressure on these pharmaceutical companies giving them a little bit more time but actually thanks very much and bring us up to date with the e.u. code response talking to us from paris rory chalons is joining us from a vaccination center in crawley in the u.k. it's interesting isn't it really because france is accusing britain of blackmail over the vaccine deliveries and yet the roll out in the u.k. is actually working relatively world talk us through how things are going. well there going as well as the country has possibly has they they could do it i mean this this vaccination center here just one of the many many thousands i think around the country they have capacity to do 2000 injections here a day they've done 18000 and counting they have got around the country to they've been working their way through the age groups in the vulnerable groups starting

with the oldest the most vulnerable and they are now doing the over fifty's of course i think the that there raul that there has been with the e.u. seems to be at least calming down for the moment the e.u. and the u.k. she did joint statement in the last few days saying that they're going to work for a win win situation and i think that means that the u.k. can now concentrate on rolling out the the vaccine program to other parts of the population that the cabinet minister robert generate was doing that the morning rounds on the breakfast shows today and was saying that he thinks that the u.k. has enough vaccination supply to be able to cover the over fifty's and vulnerable groups by the middle of next month and the whole of the u.k. adult population by july so that's pretty good going one of the other issues of course that has been dominating airways in newspapers over the last few days is

a question of vaccine passports when once the country is mostly vaccinated and the restrictions on life lifted a bit. make sure that the vaccine that the virus doesn't come back one of these proposals being floated by the government recently was maybe you have to show some sort of certificate or you had a vaccine to go into like a pub or any other kind of venue there was a lot of backlash of that from publicans from the hospitality industry from tory m.p.'s and at the moment the government seems to be writing back and saying that's not going to happen for the moment roy thanks very much that story chalons joining us from crawley in the u k. still ahead on al-jazeera stuck in the suez oil prices started to rise as one of the world's biggest container ships blocks a crucial trade route. we will buy my 100000 office and administered $200000000.00 people's arms u.s. president joe biden outlines his priorities as criticism months about

president joe biden has held his 1st news conference and how he plans to tackle his administration's domestic and foreign policy priorities but a growing crisis at the us mexico border was the main focus as our white house correspondent kimberly hauck reports. he started with good news for americans and a new vaccination goal after already meeting his initial target of administering 100000000 vaccines in record time we met last week by day 5842 days ahead of schedule not a damn set is 2nd goal and that is we will by my 100 day in office have administered 200000000 shots of people's arms but joe biden solution to the problem of migrants attempting to enter the united states from mexico is less clear he denied the surge was due to his policies it happens every single solitary year

there is a significant increase the number of people coming to the border in the winter months biden reminded reporters the united states mexico border remains closed and there has been no significant change in immigration policy although it's under review he said now is not the time to come and despite promising transparency biden declined to reveal when reporters could too are overcrowded facilities housing thousands of unaccompanied minors images released earlier this week showed children asleep on floors in crowded conditions asked whether this was acceptable biden responded angrily that's a serious question right and to accept them coming. on foreign policy biden also promised to respond to north korea if it chooses to ask ali but that the path to diplomacy remains open he also reiterated

a may 1st deadline for withdrawing remaining u.s. troops from afghanistan is unlikely it is not my intention to stay there for a long time but the question is how and in what circumstances do we meet that agreement that was made by president trump to leave under a deal that looks like it's not being able to be worked out by outlined his policies in detail dispelling domestic criticism that he was too old and unfit for the job president biden told reporters he is committed to helping americans recover physically and economically from the covert 1000 penn demick that's why he says he'll be in pittsburgh next week to unveil his plan to rebuild america's infrastructure and bring back jobs can really help get al-jazeera the white house israel remains in a political deadlock with final results showing no party winning an outright

other route is around the cape of good hope thousands of kilometers and at least a week longer spencer welsh is vice president of oil markets at i.h.s. market into global information and analytics companies joining us by skype from london is good to have you with us on the road so we've seen this spike in global oil prices but now a party has started to come down and as i understand it refineries run in very tight timetables and margins i mean was this much of a surprise when it looked as though the crude oil supply was going to be tightened if you like for a little bit high and could speak to you i like your your graphic are very very clear so the series can now ease i'm a feat of of amazing engineering that the world has taken for granted for 150 years what has happened is very unusual i can't remember it happening before and yes refineries do they keep some storage of crude oil are normally around about 7

days so if the blockage last for 2 weeks then refineries in the mediterranean will be looking for alternative supplies of oil. it does highlight doesn't it that the suicide is obviously a vital trade route as a vital link but it's also a choke point isn't it it doesn't in one respect take a great deal to close that short point and now we find ourselves in the situation we find ourselves in. yes absolutely and as exact as your your intro said around 1012 percent of global shipping trade goes through that series canal around 5 percent of global oil trite and goes straight and it's not just crude oil coming from the middle east into europe it's also oil products and then a going from europe and heading towards asia things like net and fuel oil and some

gasoline so it's a 2 y. artery that keeps the global economy or helps to keep the global economy going we have seen transport particularly being reduced flights of years they in the last year or so because of the pandemic if this had happened preplanned demick with the circumstances have been different. eat yes they would. get as your as your interest said so there was initial spike in oil prices by a couple of dollars per barrel that's as may be by 4 percent that has that has reversed and one of the reasons why it has reversed is it as you said the pandemic so so oil stocks around the world both of crude oil and of refined products are pretty high because of low demand in 2020. so if we hadn't have just been coming out of cove its stock levels would have been low and there would have been a bit more of a slightly bigger impact but even so this is this is not it's not totally

critical the otome to fright routes and to turn to suppose it sources of supply and shipping companies right now are making those decisions you've got a queue of ships around about 40 ships whiting to go through i'm sure those companies are thinking do we white or do we now reroute one would imagine that given if i understand it correctly that the circumstances of this particular incident were comparatively rare one would imagine that there's going to be a large scale investigation into what happened and how to stop it happening again. yes absent i'm sure that's the case i think this is unusual i don't know the reasons for what has happened but as you as you quoted this is costing the world's economy many billions of dollars because of delays in deliveries because of of wasted shipping time because it's going to have to go on longer routes so you know

i'm sure there will be an investigation and to look at how this can be avoided in future good to get your thoughts on the spencer west we appreciate it thank you very much indeed thank you. activists are calling from major nationwide protests across me and more on saturday there have been near daily demonstrations since february 1st when the military seized power in a coup local rights groups say at least 320 people have been killed in the crackdown on protests with thousands more arrested saturday marks on forces day when the military is expected to hold its annual parade people are now starting to escape to neighboring countries with thailand's preparing for a large number of refugees to arrive at its border scotland's been speaking to some of those who fled previous unrest and mia ma to the thai border city of may salt mojo was a student leader in the 1988 uprising in myanmar. for that he spent 12 years in

a yangon prison. at a mason museum dedicated to myanmar as political prisoners he shows us the brutality of everyday life. torture techniques that myanmar security forces have used for decades in their attempt to squash dissent the jointer is accused of continuing these methods today but he thinks the protests happening now on the streets of myanmar are much different than past uprisings so this is going to be the last fight to end the dictatorship in a fight of judgment even though the civilians do not want to become refugees fleeing from the situation might arise in which they might have to become refugees . along this section of the border there's little preventing people from crossing over because of the volatile state in myanmar thai authorities have stepped up patrols but have also intensified contact with those on the other side when you go

ahead and we are monitoring this situation and we have been communicating with out maybe us especially and think groups along the border we have been checking information the movie river here serves as the border between thailand and myanmar one of the korean ethnic armies you can see one of the camps right across the river they say in there they are sheltering hundreds of people who have fled the increasingly violent crackdown by me and more security forces. we met the head of m a saad refugee committee in a football stadium and local officials will use as temporary housing if refugees start coming across the border as many as 1000 would be housed here. he's concerned about resources as the area has been home to me and most refugees for more than 40 years fleeing fighting and economic hardship might get you up without anybody to plan it many new refugees come to thailand there might be a strain on resources for the existing refugees if they don't organizations provide

funding for the new arrivals will probably lose out the sun sets on friendship bridge ending a day in these uncertain times from a sought a community that's for decades served as the main gateway between thailand and myanmar both physically and culturally but with the unrest now unfolding in myanmar the differences are becoming more evidence the separation becoming more defined it's got harder al-jazeera may stop. bangladesh is marking 50 years of independence on the centenary of its founding father on this day in 1981 the country broke away from what was then east pakistan indian prime minister not in the morning he's among the world leaders attending the ceremony and dukkha a number of people were injured when police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at people protesting against his visit they say modi has persecuted muslims in india i'm going to child who's joining me now from dakar let's talk 1st of all about what's been happening to the time of year. well
