now the smell of day is of the power a lot of the stories that we cover all highly complex so it's very important that we make them is understandable as we can do as many people as possible no matter how much they know about a given crisis or issue as al-jazeera correspondents that's what we strive to do. hello i'm barbara sara this is the al-jazeera news hour live from london thank you for joining us coming up in the next 60 minutes hundreds of people are rescued from a hotel in mozambique but the military says dozens of more work killed in the. work continues to dislodge the container ship and the suez canal as the laser mounted

there is concern about the impact on global oil and gas supplies fleeing a military campaign in venezuela a steady stream of people continue to cross the border into colombia and these i saw making a comeback here's the armed group maybe slowly rebuilding in the deserts of syria i'm devon ash with the sports the new formula one season has begun with world champion lewis hamilton final face from reigning drive to win the bahrain grand prix. the government in that mozambique says dozens of people have been killed in an attack in the northern town of power and that number includes at least 7 civilians they were killed when their convoy was ambushed as they tried to escape the hotel they had been hiding in after being trapped for days hundreds of people locals as
12:02 am
well as foreigners have now been rescued how do reports. survivors from the siege in parma arrive in the port city of pinback just along the coast since wednesday when an armed group launched its attack on parma communications i've been down and many families are still waiting to hear what happens to their loved ones who need to go to move 3 it's been the situation of losing someone it's hard he don't know where this person is he can't reach them or know what condition they're in this is horrible and it's destabilize humanity it's really not fair. this is the only footage that has emerged from inside the hotel where up to 200 people have reportedly taken refuge hundreds of others have attempted to flee the town running into forests and nearby villages. and we don't know how we will get out of here if we can get to the sea or if we will be rescued by whom there are helicopters
12:03 am
flying over the hotel they checking to see if we can reach the beach to get a boat out but as you can hear we don't know if it's possible the situation is critical we have no food just water we're in god's hands now. all gun battles have been going on for days between the armed group the cause itself and government forces trying to take back control of the coastal town. there's been fighting in northern mozambique mainly in kabul delgado province since 2017 this is a region where most of the major gas discoveries have been made in recent years but the town of parma has been relatively safe for foreigners working on africa's largest liquefied natural gas project until this week the french energy giant total has now evacuated $1000.00 of its workers and suspended its operations it was due to restart a $20000000000.00 project after stopping work in january because of security
12:04 am
concerns that's now on hold. on. we're. trying to. project. more than 2500 people had been killed and half a 1000000 forced to leave their homes during years of fighting in the province. it's really a toxic mix of various issues is programmed the northernmost province or is marginalized people feel you're frustrated they have been people all of the. mining activities they ruby mines specifically amnesty international blames several parties for crimes it has accused armed groups and the government backed private south african military firm of being responsible for the deaths of hundreds of
12:05 am
civilians it also says government troops have made a reason torture detainees and carried out extrajudicial killings as the conflict continues the united nations is warning the would be even more internal displacement with people trying to escape the fighting. with her son has the latest now from the fence ministry. the situation is still ongoing going to ascertain how many more people have been affected human rights workers are concerned the number of people dead both local and foreigners could rise in the coming days they say if things get quieter in apartment people able to move around more freely more bodies could be found to be getting more details of what actually happened when the attack 1st started on wednesday afternoon we're told that the army came into parma in different directions it seems like it was a coordinated attack so it's assumed that some people died when their armed deep into the actual town and then later on people were holed up in
12:06 am
a particular hotel for example some of them thought it was relatively safe for them to leave the hotel and try to access the road out of the town he told that as they were driving along that road they were ambushed by these armed groups some people in that convoy were killed the rest the convoy turned around and managed to make it back to the hotel and we're told since aim some of them have since been evacuated and taken to the provincial capital but again human rights workers warning that is still early days when things are quiet so if you look at more freely when the fighting stops if it does hopefully in the coming days the number that people did could be much higher. well speak to dr alex vines about those seniors the rector of chatham house africa program and also managing director of the risk thanks and resuming the program he joins us by skype from london sir thank you for joining us here on al-jazeera as we were hearing in that report that the region has been
12:07 am
unstable since 2017 it's still a bit unclear as to what exactly has happened over the past few days but what do you make of this development in the northeast. this is a watershed moment it's a step further in deterioration of what's been happening in couple together since 2017 to be honest the situation really deteriorated in the province certainly the northern districts of kabul to go to at the beginning of last year and although early this year things seem to have the pace of conflict seem to have slowed down and it looked as if the government was getting a bit of a better grip on the security situation clearly that was just temporary this was a very well coordinated attack it was clearly well planned the the insurgents had infiltrated into power in the town various sleeper cells and then brought in up to 150 fighters so it's a very very worrying deterioration of the security situation in kabul to go under
12:08 am
and what we've also seen happen over the past few weeks is that the united states has designated this group al-shabaab a terrorist organization what do you think their own goal is and how much of it is an influence from outside an external ideology and how much of it is a reflection of the instability the insecurity and the corruption that obviously plagues that area. well it's all of the above so you're right the united states government a couple of weeks ago labeled al shabaab a foreign terrorist organization f t o but interestingly the one name that they named in it want the one named person is a tanzanian and so i think viewers of l.g. syria should see this not just as a mozambican problem but regional one it involves tanzania and there are some connections with the eastern congo but fundamentally the issues that are at the heart at the core of this are local ones in mozambique in the clip before. that i
12:09 am
listen to just now it's absolutely right this is about inequality disenfranchisement local level corruption all of those things are fed into this as well as radicalized islam. and it has to be said the president. probably also plays a part amnesty international has actually accused the government of extrajudicial killings in the area what do you think the government can and should do now. well this time last year the government introduced private military companies to be more involved in the conflict and so the like advisory group which is active at the moment although their contract my expire at the beginning of next month is involved as well as several other contractors and the government is debating on how much can be provided by private security and how much will be needed in terms of training
12:10 am
the mozambique an armed forces to be more effective but also there is a debate within the party of government of mozambique for lemo on whether there needs to be some more direct foreign military assistance and there are various offers on the table at the moment as well as a number of individuals from foreign militaries already embedded in with mozambican troops do you think there is the possibility that now that the spotlight has been shown and ice a little bit and also there is a lot of gas projects in the area mentioned one a by that actually because now there is that tension focus though on mozambique and that part of mozambique it perhaps things that will improve and then the area will seem a little less lawless. while this is an international issue the gas discoveries are off couple to god oh our world class they are absolutely transformative for mozambique but they are important for energy security globally and i think this
12:11 am
will pose for have the attention the mozambican government but also the the friends of partners of the mozambican government both regional international and so. i think the key here is about how can the mozambique an armed forces become more effective and be supported to become more effective in terms of their military response that's the 1st thing but secondly the research into this crisis is not a military one it's a developmental one going back to your earlier point and question about. this crisis is driven by inequality about poverty. and about radicalized religion and that will take a developmental approach towards a much longer term prospect that alex finds the wrecker of chatham house of africa program sir thank you for sharing your views with us thank you very much. well coming up on al-jazeera this news hour an unfolding crisis in myanmar thousands

oil prices are rising the blockage is another blow to global trade already disrupted by covert 19 around about 7 percent of the world's oil trade goes through the suez canal and it can't any any ship has the choice of taking the longer route round the south of africa takes around 2 weeks longer obviously cost more because the additional i'm shipping costs so ships are having to make their decision do they white are in that queue of $300.00 or do they take need a longer trip there are 2 main strategies in play to dislodge the ever given they are currently using tug boats to push and widen the canal by using diggers on land at the stern end of the vessel that seems to be working the 2nd is lightening the load by removing containers that's seen as time consuming dangerous and untested either way this has never happened in the history of shipping before their own current deserve. up to 5000 venezuelans have sought refuge in neighboring colombia
12:15 am
because of fighting between the military and the illegal armed groups hundreds of refugees are arriving today in the town of about 0 as well as other border towns some of them have accused the venezuelan military of abuses including extrajudicial killings they say the military is targeting members of the dishpan that far rebel which was previously engaged in a long conflict with the colombian government let's cross want to pay to we set a shelter for this place to venezuelans in keeping colombia which is on the border of the 2 countries i can see people behind you and the tents tell us a little bit more about what you're seeing and what you're hearing on the ground. yes by right this is one of 18 shelters that have been set up along the border to receive. in this way lands that have been fleeing their towns on the other side of
12:16 am
the border 6 in the last week while clashes continue between divinest well and force is an. armed group and what they're telling us is that they were badly treated by both sides but in particularly by the government forces saying that these special forces venezuela went into their town pushed people out of their homes they stole from stores from their houses accusing the people of being part of the colombian rebel group or supporting them and they're saying that out of fear of what was happening they had no other chance to leave we talked to people that. in a hurry as bombs were falling around close to their a homes some of them we've talked to here arrived without shoes to tell you just how quickly they had to leave
12:17 am
it there. house and obviously this has been a ticking humanitarian bomb on this side of the border because these towns don't have a way to assist these people but that has been changing in particular today as both to the national colombian government and the international organization like the u.n. refugee agency have brought more a in. as of the fact the more aid has arrived the 2nd helpful from the people gathered behind. but most of them must want to go home when in is that actually even looking like. well the comyn government is telling us that they are planning to keep these shelters in place for the next 2 weeks so obviously they're saying that if the situation calms down in. hoping that people will be able to go home now if you
12:18 am
talk to the people here they'll tell you that they are extremely afraid of going back that they don't trust their government to they say that they were used to the worsening economic and political crisis but something like this had never happened before these kind of attacks these kind of skirmishes between the army and rebel groups happened in colombia and venezuela so they're wondering why that's happening now so they don't expect to be able to go back any time soon and many of them are also colombe and or relatives of colombians many come from families that actually left colombia 2030 years ago to flee the internal conflict year and have found peace in venezuela and they're wondering if now the opposite is happening they will have to move back to. worrying situation there or listen

that's according to the country's health ministry of a government says the number of coronavirus that says now above 321000 not the 200 or 1000 it had previously reported the country already had the 3rd highest confirmed death toll before this revision i want to tell you nicky of joins us live now from with rio de janeiro so monica this actually means that makes a call surpasses brazil with the highest number of deaths in the region how could this happen how could they miss so many deaths. in saying that the official numbers were too low as because they're slow at counting also the health care system was overwhelmed so many people died at home so what they did was they reviewed the what the. the deaths that had happened and
12:32 am
they counted what were what is called as excess deaths they compare to. last year's deaths with this year's with the expected deaths and tried to figure out why there were so many and those words tribute to colvin 19 so now back. to martin doul after the united states and the whole world and brazil which has a population of almost double the amount of mexico's has 3 111000 deaths whereas mexico has 321000. moniker unique here with the latest there from rio de janeiro an extraordinary story monica thank you. one of the key elements in the global rollout of covert 1000 vaccines is the cold the chain the network of freezers and refrigerators used to protect vaccine ingredients from degrading and becoming less
12:33 am
effective and it means vaccine supplies cannot be assured in countries which lack access to cold storage or a stable electricity supply the oxford astra zeneca vaccine remains stable at refrigerator temperatures of between $2.00 to $8.00 degrees for at least 6 months the pfizer biotech vaccine requires special freezers providing temperatures of minus 90 to minus 60 degrees celsius to remain stable for up to 6 months because of its active ingredient and r.n.a. it's incredibly fragile where unicef hopes to have 65000 solar powered fridges in lower income countries by the end of the year pfizer is also working on a powder form of its vaccine similar freeze dried or 'd powdered vaccines are already being used to fight diseases such as and the yellow fever. while in liberia . just stand there rector of the one health center of excellence of the university
12:34 am
of florida and she joins us now from gainesville by skype adam thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera now you actually wrote a letter to the medical magazine the lancet about the title of the letter is the unsung virtue of thermo stability which is basically we've just been talking about vaccines that don't necessarily need to be refrigerated how he'd think vaccines like this would be when it comes to really fighting coded on a global scale. thank you for having me here and thank you for allowing me to make this point because many world leaders have advocated for vaccines for all and this is because we do not want pockets of viral circulation in areas where there are largely unvaccinated populations and the only way to achieve this is actually investing now in technology so that we can do without the
12:35 am
cold chain because as you know there are parts of the world where the cold chain just cannot work. obviously the fact that we even have a vaccine what a year and something after kovac 19 was the scabbard is in itself a great achievement but why do you think something like that for most stable vaccine so the don't need to be refrigerated why that kind of development hasn't been emphasized so far. well there has been a lot of talk about thermal stable vaccines particularly from developing countries not only for diseases of human beings but also for diseases of animals that we know can be devastating for communities and can keep people in poverty so i think that if we could take the opportunity that cohabit of hers us which is the
12:36 am
desperate need to have a vaccine that can be accept a vailable in an equitable way to all the population of of the world this can certainly put us in a different position the west unfortunately had not really imagined the they could of had to go through a scenario in which they would not have enough refrigerating power and we are seeing this we are seeing this as the difficulties of deploying vaccine and the backs of nation campaign are rising in many many places around the world and you say that there has been talk about this issue but are you satisfied that anyone is taking the lead on it so to speak or who do you think should do so. i just don't think that. developing thermal stable vaccines has become
12:37 am
a priority yet and it needs to become a priority i think that if we can get the large research foundations we can get a joint effort from w.h.o. all which is the world organization for animal health and f e or which is the food or going to who can i recall to organization we can find a convergence of efforts that can bring us to an environment in which we will be able to administer not only vaccines equitably but all the other vaccines as well we if we could develop this thermal stable technology for different power outages we would be looking at battling infectious diseases in a much more infectious much more efficient way throughout the world and if i could just ask you a sort of obviously still related question because you are
12:38 am
a european you're italian but you reside and work in the united states or your office in the aware of the i guess vaccine nationalism that we have seen as spring up certainly here in europe and around the the world what do you think of the way that the vaccine rollout has been handled across the globe if you will. well what i can say is that i fear weaponization of vaccines and this is something that i really think we need to fight against so we know that there is a lot of talk about how the united states has exported no dosis europe has exported approximately half of instances so i don't really think that we should have different positions we should be united and make sure that vaccines are not weaponized and are not used as a way to exercise. difficulties or hardships on certain
12:39 am
countries and that a cop or a very religious then the rector of the one health center of excellence of the university of florida madam always good to talk to you thank you thank you. so ben stein's a shadow government has signed a peace deal with a major rebel group the sudan people's liberation movement is one of 2 groups yet to sign the agreement it's meant to pave the way for negotiations after months of deadlock morgan reports said. after months of deadlock a resumption of talks between sudan's transitional government and the sudan people's liberation movement north led by abdul aziz and hello has led to this on sunday the 2 sides signed what's called the declaration of principles a blueprint for talks to reach a final peace agreement in the south sudanese capital juba and i learn more about the signing of the declaration of principles is the true and actual start of
12:40 am
a showing that the transitional government is keen on change that leads to a just and fair peace a peace that is satisfactory and leads to a sudan that reflects on sudanese people. the declaration of principles states that the army of the s.p.l. and will be integrated into the national army by the end of the dance transitional period how that is implemented has been left to future negotiations it also includes clauses on the most controversial topic that's cost repeated breakdown in talks between the 2 sides the relationship between state and religion so that's been separated this agreement was president. have actually allowed us to sign this declaration of principle on the declaration in principle is going to pave the way for the delegations to move on to discuss the substantive issues political issues humanitarian issues security
12:41 am
sector reform issues so this is the value of this agreement of today on the declaration of. the roots of fighting between saddam's government and the s.p.l. and go back to the 21 year civil war that began in 1083 between the north and south a short. period of peace and date when fighting we need in 2011 mostly in the south kordofan and blue nile states hundreds of thousands of people have been killed and many more displaced over the past decade mediate says like the aid organization world food program say the declaration of principles will lead to stability this is the final building block for a foundation for peace for the future where you don't have peace you have hunger you have destabilization but all of us to be a reach people create sustainability and livelihoods so the one day that the world food program won't even need to be here that can happen without what happened today to see these leaders come together not just on paper but in the heart hearing their
12:42 am
words coming from the heart it's a new day it truly is an amazing day for sudan in cells. while many more rounds of talks lie ahead to reach a final deal many people are celebrating for them and the sites involved the signing of the declaration is the 1st significant step forward to end the conflict in the southern regions people morgan alter their oil. space x. is hoping to send tens of thousands of satellites into orbit over the coming decades us part of a global internet service launching this year but experts fear a long mosques company could create more space they bring and hinder scientific discoveries they call a gauge of reports the reports now from the australian capital canberra. 60 satellites launch into space on a lawn mosque 3 usable rocket falcon 9 it's part of stalin
