birdman the reports. of the tangled wreckage from these train carriages reveals the sheer force of the crash that killed dozens of people c.c.t.v. footage shows the moment of impact and so had province south of cairo egypt's railway authority says the 1st train stopped when someone triggered its emergency brakes and other crashed into it from behind causing tree carriages to flip over parts landed in a nearby field bystanders rushed to help survivors while dozens of ambulances scrambled to the scene really a matter of the day 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 to crying but they don't have one people are dead we can even save the ones who are alive. president 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 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 the way 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 fine rip to the carriages in southern cairo. 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. i have a hard time believing that that's. the product of incompetence on the part of what level and or yes what we have is an infrastructure problem we have

a government problem this month the world bank approved a loan of 440000000 dollars to modernize some of egypt's $5000.00 comes around that walk but it full short of the $14000000000.00 the government previously said was needed to overhaul the system. for the thick teams and their relatives in this latest tragedy any upgrades if they do happen are too late dura but a manly out to sea or. a commission set up by the french government has found the country bears overwhelming responsibilities over the 1994 rwandan genocide about 800000 people were slaughtered mainly from the tutsi ethnic minority the report by historian says france failed in almost every sense to prevent the genocide it goes on to say that the administration led by then president francois mitterrand was blind to preparations for the massacres but the authors found no evidence that

paris was complicit in the killings or showed any willingness to join a genocidal operation that's meant to enter wallace who's a journalist and author of silent accomplice the untold story of the role of france in the random genocide he's joining us from leeds in the u.k. thanks for your time with us what is your reaction to these findings will it is it is expose if in some ways informs the history of france in rwanda in the last 27 years has been pretty grim and been various efforts in 98 it was over a french report which said to be misled by the genocidal government and president sarkozy 10 years ago when to start to say france had made his so this is a substantial increase in language here and. the devil will be in the report itself is $1200.00 pages it will take a while to get through. but really it is it is explosive stuff and credit to

president not actually breaking with his predecessors and allowing. these investigators these historians to look through all the archives in the presidency defense from ministries and to to make these findings i know you're saying the devil is in the details but from what you've seen so far anything in particular surprise you. the one thing that jumps out to me because most of the most of what's been said here is been known i mean the people who wondered know it. historians know it journalists on the ground of the time know it and of written about it so really this is a political report. the facts of not changed we all know what france did in rwanda it. did to genocidal army it assisted in never skate in to zaire in neighboring countries it was working alongside them in the years before

994. nothing's nothing's changed in that. they're wanting to stand out for me was the fact that they're saying the in french intelligence knew that it was hutu extremists who shot president happy man is playing down which was seen as the trigger for the genocide to begin now the previous french judges who report had denied that had put the blame on president kadar many are p.f. and this misinformation has done newgrounds 27 years so it seems like the french knew it was in never archives they knew that in fact this was untrue that it was hutu extremists. all along the plane down and triggered the genocide so that's quite startling revelation i think and what impact do you think it will have on relations between france and the president of our cause saying that he wants to visit rwanda later this year well that in itself would be quite

incredible if that happens. what is interesting is in a few weeks time bringing out they were only poured into the role of. independent report by a high profile american lawyer but news that the final report the news report be interesting to see how that tallies with what the french have found in their archives muses fountain one dinar coming right you would hope will normalize ties. probably the most important thing the rwandans want at the minute is that justice starts to happen so far the french are thought only 3 out of dozens of genocide suspects to trial in france they were extradite him so we need to see movement there that the french take the fact they've got genocide suspects living in france seriously and put them on trial if they're not going to extradite them

and what do you think there were ones in response will be to this report that has now been made public well i think on on their own i think probably going to bring i'm sure they'll bring a response out later i'm sure they were welcome the fact that france is finally admitting there was failures at every part of the government and this. and in a way it's also the wonders will accept the fact of 27 years france has been involved in a cover up of its actions and there is now some transparency there is still no french ambassador in kigali it would be interesting now if one gets appointed and is accepted there and ties between the 2 countries are normalized pressed and. assisted in having a prominent to do and didn't foreign minister appointed to francophonie last year

a couple years back. so it looks like toys ahead. but the history of the 2 countries in the last 27 years. has been exposed and it remains to be seen how much to move how far this goes the. towards assisting not normalization to continue thank you so much and your wallace thanks for speaking to us from the. the o.p.'s says every train has agreed to withdraw its forces from the northern region where they've been accused of killing raping and torturing civilians prime minister has just returned from talks in the eritrean capital a small they're growing calls for eritrea and troops to pull out of to gray ethiopia launched a military offensive there were november accusing the region's governing party of destabilizing the country and the allegations against eritrean forces began to

emerge soon after ethiopia launched its military operation but for months prime minister denied eritrean forces were in the country that changed on tuesday when he admitted there involvement there have been international calls for an investigation into the violence the us secretary of state anthony blinken described it as acts of ethnic cleansing the u.n. estimates nearly 2300000 people or nearly half of population are at risk of starvation or in need of her mergence the food aid and nearly 60000 people have escaped into neighboring soon don the un has just reached 2 camps for eritrea refugees inside to gray and found them destroyed or recovers a spokesman for the u.n. h.c.r. he says some of the eritrean refugees who lived in those camps are missing. we now finally have access to these 2 camps in the north of te grey hid suds and she melbourne they had remained out of reach since november when the conflict 1st began

and now our teams are on the ground what they found is that they're completely destroyed these 2 locations used to house 20000 eritrean refugees some of them have moved either on their own or with the help of ethiopian authorities to southern camps or to have camps in the south and they've been provided with assistance where we're helping them with their immediate needs but many are still unaccounted for when our teams were able to reach kids us and she melba what they saw was a it's a large areas of the shelters level to the ground our offices our staff guesthouse also burned to the ground so the situation is quite worrying out of the $20000.00 or a tram refugees that we had in his us and should now but there are some 7 to 10000 that are still unaccounted for so we think that they're scattered in the area we're looking to have very soon another mission to go and seek out these people to identify them and to make sure that we can start getting assistance to them we also

need resources we've launched an appeal to cover the needs from january until june 2021 it's about 99000000 united states dollars we are only receiving 44 percent so far and so we need urgent support from the from the international community to help us provide this lifesaving aid. more ahead on the news hour including thousands of venezuelans escaped to colombia during fighting between the military and a rebel group. to free up fails. traffic builds up. their way to victory over india and the 2nd one day international stories coming up in sports. but 1st german health officials are warning that its latest wave of the corona virus could be the worst so far they're urging people to stay home during the

upcoming easter holiday to help slow the rapid rise in infections there are fears there could be as many as 100000 new cases every day unless the spread is curbed. signals 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 you immediately the consequences will be grave dr kristof specters a medical expert and journalist he says the mismanagement of the vaccine across europe has allowed infections to surge. what is surprising is that not a few cases rate 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 worked 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. protesters have rallied by the beaches of rio de janeiro to protest going walk down measures they're angry over the announcements of even tighter restrictions as the city contends with an overwhelming number of covert 1000 hospitalizations only essential services are allowed to open with schools shopping centers restaurants and others forced to close. is joining us now from rio de janeiro's so major brazilian cities have taken restrictive measures monica what sort of reactions was there been. well yes street vendors for example who live off the beach that surround 50000 people all together they have nothing absolutely nothing to do during 10 days

because the government and solve all this government for even a longer time have decreed like a 10 day vacation. and and so that and there is no emergency aid so they're literally left with absolutely nothing and what they're saying is the government should be focusing on vaccines and and the because the infections also have spiraled because young people since carnival in new years have been going there's there have been parties clandestine parties in the rich parts of the city and in the slums and then these people go on infect other people just so you have an idea of here in rio the situation there were like 60 people waiting in line to get into an intensive care unit at the beginning of the month there are $600.00 now so the new variant is really spiraling out of control here in brazil and that's what

people are very afraid of ok monica thank you so much for that update from rio de janeiro. argentina has announced it will suspend flights from brazil chile and mexico to prevent the spread of new variant of covert 19 measures will come into effect on saturday the government says it's concerned about the rising number of infections in neighboring brazil which has recorded more than 12000000 cases argentina has reported nearly 2300000 infections so far both u.s. democrat and republican politicians are in texas and they're visiting immigration center is to highlight a recent surge in migrants and asylum seekers a delegation of house democrats say they're there to fix the inhumane situation of child separation made worse by donald trump meanwhile a group of senate republicans say the influx is a crisis our president joe biden is making biden says the surge in arrivals is the result of a seasonal increase when you're up with oh isn't it in mexico we'll be speaking to

him in a moment but 1st let's bring in shihab rattansi she has joining us from macallan texas that's one of the towns that has seen an influx of migrants it sounds pretty much like a blame game. it really is when actually what we want to speak to my gun rights groups both parties have a lot of a lot of culpability for what is always presented as a. crisis at the border clearly both democratic and republican administrations have failed to just put in the systems in place here for example in macallan a border town it's up to a local charity a local catholic charity to take up the coals of the asylum seekers who are released who are eventually released by by the government but they give it a test here in the tent behind me which i think you can see in them and then the catholic charity helps process process the migrants get them to their relatives in

the united states 80 percent of asylum seekers have relatives in the u.s. who they can who they can they can meet but we have these june these dueling congressional delegations in these dueling narratives we have the republicans who are since last night actually the night time very dramatic at the river a river trip to the rio grande presenting a narrative of their own intrepid as quite often ted cruz tweeting footage of what he what he claimed human traffic is over the border over the rio grande taunting him on twitter but again a part of that narrative that joe biden has flung open the borders and all of it all of the gains of the trumpet ministration have been lost as far as migration of concerned and then we have the democrats are about 400 kilometers north of us in. texas. bev is doing a public health and human services refugee resettlement thing refugee resettlement sites. and bad narrative there is it's old

a lot of this is trumps folds as as sons are walking castree said a few minutes ago. there's been a lot of discussion in vogue some folks would say controversy over the conditions at the border. we need to be clear about something. president biden inherited situation where the previous administration had sought to dismantle the infrastructure for processing asylum seekers and settling asylum seekers in the united states we're here today to find solutions. we're here today to go back to washington and offer recommendations for how this process can be improved how the asylum process can be improved and people's human rights can be respected. the reality is is very different from both of these narratives and hasn't tried to open the border 80 percent of asylum seekers are

being turned away in violation of international and domestic law but in addition a succession of both republican and democratic administrations billions of dollars militarizing the border putting in the most high tech surveillance systems and so on but they clearly haven't put in the most basic infrastructure to deal with what despite all of the militarization and surveillance is always is a bi annual increase in migration in the spring time and in fact not only that the democrats and republicans both administrations have continued to use their foreign policy often to destabilize central american countries to prevent democratic transfers of power to prevent governments from addressing inequality and violence that is absolute recent example on the euro's when joe biden was vice president when obama helped over 3 months. so i mean that there's plenty of blame to go around as to why we see this recurring phenomenon of a border crisis every couple of years ok thank you for that update from macallan

texas let's now cross the border you want to mexico that's where money will rappel those joining us from a year at a migrant camp there. where migrants are hoping to cross into the u.s. so what are the chances of that that actually happens. we did say it has been quite clear u.s. officials have been very clear about that the border not being open the border is closed saying that no one will be allowed to cross and we've been returning to this migrant camp at inch up out of the point of entry into the united states quite literally just a few meters away from the us mexico border and we've swat we've seen over the past few days is new arrivals constantly all every day people arriving at this camp that's really been growing for the last month we estimate there to be somewhere between 800-8500 people that have been staying at this camp some here for more than a month others like i said new arrivals many of the people here are from central american countries like honduras and guatemala others are from southern mexico many

of the people that are here are say that they're fleeing violence or flee extortion some have been displaced by the 2 back to back hurricanes that slammed into central america displacing more than a 1000000 people just in honduras alone more than a 1000000 people displaced now there's a lot of confusion here at this camp over not only u.s. immigration policy but mexican immigration policy a lot of the people that are here are staying abreast of the news many people did hear that press conference yesterday where president joe biden spoke about the border not being open asking people not to come to the border and also speaking about a potential change in policy where the united states could expect mexico to share in the burden of caring for migrant families and asking people not to let unaccompanied minors over to the other side of the border however the overwhelming sentiment here is hope that somehow by the grace of god u.s. officials are going to change their minds open the border and allow asylum seekers to plead their cases to u.s.

officials now we were out a separate facility earlier today where we spoke to 100 women who said that she crossed into the united states through mexico but was sent to california and then deported to mexico to here to see one and she says that there are a lot of other migrants that are in that same boat that were captured in texas sent to california to poor. i want to where we are now so this could be signaling or giving us a little bit of an insight into the strategy by u.s. officials to deport migrants to to want to where it's a little bit harder for them to cross a kind of a strategy to prevent repeat offenders to do to prevent migrants from trying again now president will visit a lot of mexico is traveling to the us mexico border in this in the city of juarez across from el paso texas today so hopefully we'll have a little bit more insight as to how mexican policy is going to be i doubt to what we heard from that press conference yesterday with president joe biden ok thank you so much for that update from tijuana mexico the latest the time to reflect the mega

it's been great. despite the round with the 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 head of the world health organization has called for the donation of 10000000 covert 1000 vaccine doses to the poorest countries the chief of the w.h.o. has said that a rush to secure jobs around the world has delayed deliveries which the kovacs scheme was counting on the global vaccine sharing program ensures that $92.00 of the middle and lower income countries can access vaccines with the costs covered by donors the u.s. is saying 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 and guinea and 6 in the democratic republic of congo since february george alfred has their bows the world health organization's

uprisings so this is going to be the last fight to end the dictatorship in a fight of judgement even though the civilians do not want to become refugees fleeing from the situation might arise he was 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 get it and we are monitoring this situation and we have been communicating with out maybe us especially the i think groups along the border we have been checking information the movie a 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
