province in central egypt egypt's railway authority says the 1st train stopped when someone triggered its emergency brakes another crashed into it from behind causing 3 carriages to flip over parts landed in the nearby fields bystanders rushed to help survivors while dozens of ambulances scrambled to the scene really. we need an official to come see what has happened we can't remove the people from underneath the trains it's a shame look at the children we need a crane but they don't have one people or did we can even save the ones who are alive present abdel fattah el-sisi says those who caused the crash will be punished by i don't believe it's the right the right thing to do or and it's not the right way to go i believe there is a serious serious problem and serious issues when it comes to fundamental services given to the egyptian people including of course they were away egypt's road

network has been plagued with train disasters in 2000 to 373 people died when people were trapped on a train as a firing to the carriages in southern kyra. and 2 years ago a train ran into a barrier at high speed a cairo's main railway station killing more than 20 people there are more than 1000 train accidents annually in egypt and that is according to the government's statistical authority cat mass. i have a hard time believing that that's the product of incompetence on the part of low level employees where we have as an infrastructure problem we have a government problem this month the world bank approved a loan to $440000000.00 to modernize some of egypt's $5000.00 comes around network but it full short of the $14000000000.00 the government previously said was needed

to overhaul the system. for the thick teams and the relatives in this latest tragedy any upgrades if they do happen to light during this era if you are a trainer has agreed to withdraw its forces from the northern region where they have been accused of killing raping and torturing civilians prime minister of iraq has just returned from talks in the eritrean capital as mara there been growing calls for eritrean troops to pull out of the gray if european launched a military offensive there in november accusing the region's governing party of destabilizing the country the un has just reached 2 camps for eritrean refugees inside to gray and famine destroyed her home soil has more from the kenyan capital nairobi. the un refugee agency that you have just released a very detailed statement about this to comp they said that the teams finally. got to this comes that have been completely destroyed these are comes that hosted about

20000 every trend refugees people who had fled for eritrea years before and the u.n. also saying that it's unclear where much of the 20000 of them are only about 7000 right now can be accounted for some of them are hiding out in towns neighboring towns but most of them it's unclear where they are other aid agencies saying that they could have been forced back to eritrea so those are the concerns that are being raised and this obviously comes off the back of this announcement by prime minister saying that. troops will be withdrawn from areas. where they have occupied he has for months denied there was any presence of foreign troops but finally just at the beginning of this week he made a statement in parliament where he gave reasons why there are transit there in the 1st place saying that they have sort of created

a buffer zone. especially after the ethiopian forces started pushing. forces that city command forces more to the central part of the region but a lot of people are also saying that beyond the troops being being withdrawn there needs to be investigation because they've also been accused of human rights abuses several u.s. politicians are visiting border patrol facilities in texas to draw attention to the plight of unaccompanied children being held there it comes a day after president joe biden defended his handling of the influx of migrants at the southern border calling it a seasonal increase more than 15000 unaccompanied minors are in u.s. border custody biden says he's ramping up efforts to get them released shihab rattansi is joining us from callan taxes to tell us what you've been seeing where you are. yeah it's interesting we're expecting

a press conference soon from the democratic convention so we have to. contingency politicians from washington in texas today the democrats are about 400 kilometers north of us in the springs. of health and human services acidity which we've already see there was a white house trip earlier this week it's lovely it has lots of. facilities for children and so on and i actually as we said when you will you will use a summit 15000 people in custody 10000 we understand it's going to be official figures are in in office in the public health and human services office a refugee resettlement trying to facilities which all tailored hopefully the children we really will be there's very little transparency at least this one facility in the region springs where all the democrats seem to be flocking to it looks very nice we don't really know much about most of the other ones about 5000 are in those crowded tents of the border run by customs and border protection who don't have the facilities to deal humanely with children theoretically their only

source being to do these like that. for 3 days at the most before they go to the refugee resettlement facilities but that's that's clearly not happening right now that some 10 days or more we're hearing what's fascinating very is that the infrastructure is so incomplete because yes children. and families with their children mothers and fathers with their children are being sent to nice facilities presumably like the one with the one up north but those who owns a big but basically being dropped off in cities like this mccallum texas where it's up to charities or local christian local catholic charity in this case to set up a tent here and we're seeing coaches pull up every maybe 2 or 3 every hour. right now and start with seeing some. recent arrivals who are now being taken from the tent where they were tested for covert and they get across to get across the street head towards a shelter facility over the. you know to the top of the big goal to the left of

your picture i guess where they will be helped with that paperwork and they they can stay for as long as they need but the but the hope is that they will be reconnected with their family members in the u.s. 80 percent of of these asylum seekers have family in the u.s. you can you can receive them and then there's a bus station here where they wish they could take them to travel around the country will they go to the nearby airport so that's how the system is working here and in macallan right now as you can see there. only recently as the by the administration started allowing in families and by families they mean mothers or fathers with children under the age of 7 and what was rather interesting about biden's press conference yesterday was just to give it as it was up to him he wouldn't be allowing them in either he said it was only because mexico wasn't wasn't what was refusing to accept that expulsion back to mexico when they cross the border so this is a this is a good example here all the demographics of some of the the asylum seekers we're seeing right now being allowed in but you know the facilities are really here and

what's what is what has to be constantly stressed is that despite the republican merits of biden has has kept the border firmly shut despite humanitarian international and domestic legal obligations 80 percent of asylum seekers are just being sent back to mexico and reluctantly now he's allowing him mothers and their children as we can see a father in a child but only that but only under the age of 7 extended family members and out of that with that with children but it's a very out of whole procedure. local groups say look i mean the one way to help prevent other company children from coming in is to allow the asylum process to be to to to get back in to give once again i'm not just basically to stop it but most adults coming in to the u.s. right now but unfortunately or fortunately depending on your trumpets water around you have a great supporter. of immigration and asylum seeking being a bad thing seems to be winning the day right now in the u.s.

media narrative at least ok thank you so much for that update from macallan texas. german health officials are warning that its latest wave of the current virus could be the worst so far there are people to stay home during the upcoming easter holiday to help slow the rapid rise and infections there are fears there could be as many as 100000 new cases and. a day unless that spread is curbed his acknowledged. there are clear signals that this we have could become significantly worse than the 1st 2 waves we must prepare for the number of cases rising strongly and that more people get seriously ill again that hospitals will get overburdened and that's a lot of people will die we are just at the beginning of this development and if we don't massively contest it immediately the consequences will be grave dr christopher specters a medical expert and journalist he says the mismanagement of the vaccine rollout

across europe has allowed infections to surge. what is surprising is the not to fix it in germany we have changed the test regimen in the coupler in the last couple of weeks so we are now looking more in this dark for you the estimate number of not reported on unreported cases in the last week or last week so maybe it's a matter of the notification number so the other thing is that we had an immunization campaign in the last the 2 or 3 months and we managed to in the human eyes the elderly 80 years and older and this work quite well but we didn't manage to immunize the the younger ones and this is probably because why we see those rising numbers now we are not in the lead anymore and that is probably too true to our mismanagement in.

ordering the immunization yes you know the e.u. it was the one who did it and i think from the time on when we decided that let let the e.u. handle this it was clear that we would not be in in the lead if you compare it to the u.k. or israel or you see what the what the differences are and i'm glad merkel so lost this very comfortable position which she had in the beginning of the pandemic that's true so that we lost trust in it still ahead on al-jazeera. i'm scott heiler on the tide mark border stories 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 fled violence. in the suez one of the world's biggest container ships continues to block a crucial trade route. we've

got warmer weather at long last coming in across turkey still a fair amount of cloud here we have seen some very snowy weather race and they still a little bit snow to get out of the way just pushing across that eastern side of turkey towards georgia just around the caucasus south of that stand we fine and dry temperatures here in doha to around $38.00 celsius a brisk wind system lifted dust and sand to watch out for over the next couple of days with that wind coming in from a northwesterly direction that schmall way and temperatures pick back to around 32 degrees on the sunday further north or we go clear skies coming back in and around the black sea at around 8 degrees celsius at long last getting up somewhere near double figures the wintry mix that's making its way across northern parts of afghanistan i think it was the fall north of pakistan as we go on through the next

couple days a westerly disturbance coming through here meanwhile across the whole of africa we have got largely clear skies more sunshine coming through one of 2 showers into uganda will see wanted to show was there into tanzania northern parts of mozambique could see some wet weather and those showers stretch all the way up into the gulf of guinea now just a little bit more cloud just around that east assad off south africa is going to be rather wet here with the rank gradually moving away. from. me to the minimalists tap this couple and their daughter decide to quit the rat race hoping to have that time with us. let's just throw everything away al jazeera world exposed the simple living movement aimed at reducing passenger consumption credit and not sounding like hope to be here as

a result. a simple life on al-jazeera. the the air. hello again the top stories on al-jazeera at this hour 2 passenger trains have collided south of cairo killing at least 32 people and injuring 165 egypt's government has some one triggered emergency brakes and one of the trains before the other ran into it. eritrea has agreed to withdraw its troops from ethiopia is tikrit region after months of fighting eritrea troops have faced allegations of killing civilians as well as rape and torture. francaise are in this trying to blackmail the european union in their escalating dispute over 1000 vaccines the

french foreign minister says britain is under pressure because it doesn't have enough 2nd vaccination shots. now as tensions rise between the u.k. and e.u. over vaccine supplies the british government says it has enough doses to vaccinate the entire adult population by july. has more from outside a vaccination center and crawley. after many notable scandals and failures in the u.k. as coded 19 response the country's vaccination rollout has been a notable high points and here at this specially built vaccination center in crawley we've been watching it in action here they're using both the astra zeneca and the pfizer jobs and they've done about $20000.00 so far. just at times it's been emotional to see how many patients they've been shooting for months and you know they're waiting to go back to their normal lives and so on

it's been great. despite the round with europe over supplies the u.k. government says it has enough doses to vaccinate all vulnerable groups and the over fifty's by the middle of april and the entire adult population by july 1 of the key reasons you're seeing today it's because it's been given to probably care to g.p. practices who know their communities they know what they meet and they've been able to be really quick and charlie setting things up this is an entirely new unit you know and he started to be built just as the vaccines that 1st started being wheeled out. while building you know they've done another 20000 patients a question that remains is what happens once everyone has been vaccinated how does the country ease back to normal life the government has floated the idea of perhaps having vaccination passports to get into venues like pubs but after an outcry from the hospitality industry and conservative backbenchers that idea seems to have been

put on the back burner. the u.s. says it will put $30000000.00 towards ebola assistance in the democratic republic of congo and guinea several countries and international organizations have been holding a virtual summit on the continuing threat of the disease in parts of africa regional leaders have also been urged to stick by their promise to contribute to a pool of 2000000 health care workers to deal with future health emergencies at least 9 people have died from ebola in guinea and 6 in the democratic republic of congo since february the taliban says it will restart attacks against foreign troops unless they pull out of afghanistan by the 1st of may taliban leaders say they'll be forced to fight to free their country if soldiers don't leave on their own it comes after president joe biden said washington is struggling to meet the deadline despite donald trump's administration agreeing to it last year the us

president says north korea will face consequences if it chooses the path of escalation on thursday pyongyang confirmed it tested a new guided missile north korean officials say the weapon will act as a deterrent against any military threats it was the 1st major provocation since joe biden took office in january and the south korean president has called for talks. but 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. bride has 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 misawa an improvement on existing technology also the fact that they say it troubled 600 kilometers i'd 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 that the latest attempt to refloat them blocking egypt's suez canal has failed as fallout grows for global trade it's been wedged across the crucial shipping route for 3

days imran khan reports. confusion about the fate of the ever given a team of salvage experts flew in from the netherlands to help the so far unsuccessful attempts to dislodge the vessel while egyptian officials seemed confident the su is canal would reopen soon the dutch expert said they wouldn't commit to a specific time frame saying it could take days weeks it's a mammoth task the ship is 400 mi is long weighing 200000 tons and it's stuck in what's often described as the most important shipping lane in the world a maritime accident with global implications shipping analysts already predicting disruption and price hikes. the series can now i'm a feat 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 the ever given container ship became wedged across the su is canal on choose day when high

winds blew it off course about 12 percent of global trade passes through the 193 kilometer long canal which connects the red sea with the mediterranean providing the shortest link between asia and europe the vessel carrying around $20000.00 containers is registered in panama and operated by taiwanese transport company evergreen marine it was sailing from china to the port city of rotterdam in the netherlands when it got stuck this image posted on a ship tracking website shows the backlog of many vessels stuck at the exit and entry points and in the middle the vast majority of oil from the gulf is transported to europe through the canal global oil prices have risen as a result industry experts are warning of a flood of insurance claims covering the vast amounts of cargo being held up automotive parts and consumer goods containers may have to be offloaded in order to lessen the weight the su is canal authority says around $20000.00 ships pass through the canal last year and in egypt billions of dollars in toll fee revenue

the ever given is $1.00 of the largest container ships in the world but for every hour and every day it remains stuck on a reef and stationary there are concerns about its financial fallout and the impact on global trade among current. the u.k. prime minister boris johnson says he supports the british politicians lawyers and organizations who've been sanctioned by china he says they've been highlighting gross human rights violations perpetrated against muslim weekers beijing is accusing those it's targeted of spreading lies about what's happening in its gendang region katrina you has this update from beijing. voting 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 we go as a force to work in labor camps they yet to follow canada and the us 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

a yangon prison. at a mason museum dedicated to me and more as political prisoners he shows us the brutality of everyday life. torture techniques that mean more security forces have used for decades in their attempt to squash dissent the judge 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 much to rise in which they might have to become refugees . along this section of the time ian marr 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 get paid 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 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 but in iraq without a new body to many new refugees come to thailand there might be a strain on resources for the existing refugees if donor 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. police in bangladesh have opened fire on crowds protesting against a visit by the indian prime minister narendra modi killing 4 people there were demonstrations in several cities including in the capital dhaka. modi's in bangladesh as part of france independence day celebrations the protesters say he's not welcome accusing him of persecuting muslims in india. has more from. there has been protests for the last one week actually by the leftist party as well as by the right wing religious parties and the criticism and not so much against
