hello we begin this news hour in india where at least 22 patients have died in a public hospital in the western state of maharashtra after their oxygen supply routes so the hospital had been treating coronavirus patients when an oxygen tank began leaking while it was being refilled. hospitals in india are facing acute oxygen shortages many patients in the capital new delhi only have enough to last an estimated 24 hours now india's health system is buckling that's as the country reports almost 300000 new cases and more than 2000 deaths in one day both numbers are records. are struggling to cope with demand as the death toll climbs the government is being accused of understating the number of fatal disease was withdrawn and will join us from new delhi as were saying hospitals were already facing a very serious situation and now this latest incident what happens elizabeth.

hello daryn so what we're hearing is that this oxygen tank oxygen tank a switch supply the 700 bed code facility in the city of nashville in the worst affected state they were being refilled when a leak occurred authorities immediately stopped the leak but not before it disrupted supply to some of the patients resulting in the deaths of 2219 patients who were on ventilators 31 others had to be transferred to another hospital authorities have said that they're going to investigate exactly what happened they're going to hold to have it's responsible to account but we hear this a lot in india where accidents and hospitals a not uncommon they have been a number of fires in the past year in hospitals and many patients have died as a result but all of this is happening as many states in india face critical shortages of oxygen supplies as the number of hospital hospitalizations go up

exponentially with the rise in cases that we are seeing now it is a very urgent situation and deadly here in the capital as well with the state leaders appealed to the central government on tuesday to urgently sense applies supplies were sent on tuesday night but most hospitals. many hospitals rather say they only have supplies to last them a few hours this morning one of delhi's biggest private hospitals told us that they had 24 hours worth of supply but just in the last hour or so they have said that that has now shrunk to just 5 hours because of the number of people who have been admitted today and what is the government saying about the 2nd wave of wave elizabeth and you know record numbers of deaths and patients getting infected. well promised in that in that morty

addressed the nation on tuesday and he described the 2nd wave that we are seeing in india as a storm when you look at the numbers of the 1st wave of cases on a graph on a chart you see that it was very much a curve which went up and came down but if you look at how the numbers have risen in the 2nd wave just over the last few weeks or last month i mean it is a vertical line going straight up the chart is a wall but despite that prominence in that in the more he said that he is reluctant to impose a nationwide lockdown like the one we saw last year because of the impact that it had on so many hundreds of millions of people mostly on daily wage. on the impact that it had on on the economy but we are seeing restrictions being put in place in many places states taking that decision into their own hands here in the capital delhi for instance we have a very strict it's been called a curfew but it is all the same restrictions as during the nationwide lockdown last

year where people aren't allowed to leave their homes on this it's to get essential supplies or if they work and want to deemed essential services and the worst affected state maharashtra is going to be making an announcement about its situation on wednesday evening and many there think that the 120000000 people in maharashtra could very well be facing another complete lockdown because the less severe restrictions which have been put in place whether it's in maharashtra or even in delhi before the curfew came into effect has not done enough they haven't done enough to bring the cases down considerably they are only going up ok elizabeth brown and thank you so much for that update from. all the oxygen shortage in your hospitals has lots of some supplies being stolen family members of sick patients took cylinders from a hospital in my diet protest soon after the supplies were delivered local authorities say the perpetrators believed false rumors that supplies at the

hospital were running out to get them back the looters should use their brains how would you be able to install the sill and even if you take it away you don't know who needs oxygen and who doesn't some relatives of patients are taking 2 or 3 cylinders with them and some are even taking them away in vehicles when our staff tries to reason with them they attack them even threatening to hurt them physically announce bon is a physician specializing in bioethics and global health policy and he told us the government failed to ensure it would have enough oxygen supplies after the 1st wave of covered $1000.00 in india and did last year. i think. since i was blonde land last this was probably keeping in mind the local game on the local demand has a really beat over the last few weeks and i think what we're seeing now is perhaps not enough focusing on that kind of a need we have an acute situation right now in many states and that also means that

within the country there is an enabling need to be able to provide oxygen to areas because almost every state is now clamoring for more stuff like you know we went through almost 2 to 3 months of cases going down you know we had a lucky break in that sense but given global experience i think there was always the chance that we would again see a resurgence and the resurgence this year has been much more sharper than last year so unfortunately it seems to be the case that the lessons from last to perhaps were not registered adequately the recognition that those who need admission certainly need oxygen and if that number of cases at met that would increase exponentially as we are seeing right now that there would be a possibility of shortage of oxygen this would have been something that one of the makers and health systems officials should have thought through unfortunately seems to be the case that not enough was done in advance and now we are again in a situation where it's almost on

a day to day basis that planning process and supplies there's a lot of reluctance to go down either with a nation national down or state weight loss of that having been said many governments have already started that process they might not want to lock down they sometimes wanted to go if you had said but there is a recognition that there is a huge amount of strain on the health system in many parts of india and we need to bring down the number of cases otherwise it would lead to breaking point the russian president vladimir putin is warning moscow will respond harshly to any foreign provocations but wants to have good relations with other countries because it made the comments on his annual state of the nation speech. when i see. russia. as its own interests will be protecting and upholding them within the context of international law but if someone refuses to understand that and adopt an arrogant attitude towards us we will uphold our line their attitudes towards us are more dangerous now than in the past the direct interference umbrella reuss is an example to create a coup the so-called collective west is involved here live not to burn its methods

or an answer moscow so was his message geared towards a domestic audience or an international audience bernard this was mainly a speech aimed at the domestic audiences though in that small reference to international affairs vladimir putin said that everybody's picking on russia at the moment he said without any reason we're being picked on he said it's like a large tiger and you can see all the hyenas circling around and he made a reference to rajab kipling but of course russia has been under unprecedented pressure from particular european in the u.s. countries recently they've had embassadors a diplomat sex spell they've had sanctions imposed because of allegations of russia interfering in u.s. presidential elections cyber hacking the occupation of ukraine and the jailing of the opposition leader alexey and avowedly while there was concentration on domestic

affairs there was no reference to the other main challenge here in russia that's all the opposition leader alexian about only his call protests of cold his supporters of called for nationwide protests they see evening out already in eastern parts of russia about 6 to 8 hours ahead from here there have been protests we're told nationwide so far more than $102.00 people have been detained and here in moscow that includes supporters of alexina volumnia including bluebox sobel one of his main allies. isn't this just before the i think that everything is happening to scare all the other people i was literally detained for the faut of showing up at the rally i'll be detained until the late evening in the police van but you know perfectly well what you should do you shouldn't be afraid i want freedom for even from the police band the valley should be alive safe and free.

now it couldn't be sued get much harder for me and his supporters to have their voices heard on monday a court in moscow will hear in secret an application from prosecutors to classify the. organization is anti corruption anti corruption foundation extremist putting them on a level with al-qaeda if that happens the valley supporters and his finances could face very lengthy jail sentences sentences and heavy fines ok thank you so much bernard smith from moscow or let's take this on with pavel felgenhauer who is a columnist for a novi i guess specializing in defense and military affairs is joining us from moscow as well thanks for your time so as you heard bernard reporting the president is annual state of the nation address didn't mention novelli at all by name are you surprised that he didn't considering that he did touch upon many domestic issues.

well president bush in that were mentions not vali by name it's a kind of i dunno some kind of special prejudice for him he doesn't mention his name at all even when he speaks about this is that person that patient or something like that this you know address it's always traditionally most of that out social or economic issues inside russia which are rather immense. bias in defense isn't always in the last 3rd of the speech and even maybe sometimes less than that sometimes which uses this address for policy statement or defense state but he didn't do much this time at all there were some threats there was talk about russia be the number one military nuclear power in the world of good developing new weapons and that the west will have to listen to russia and. recognize

russian national interest and russia wants to talk with the west discuss with the west the west is going to recognize essential russian interests right to end on that issue of the message that he had for the west he also say he also said that that they shouldn't cross russia's red lines and i'm quoting here moscow would respond swiftly and harshly to any provocations i mean who is that message intended for. well we've gotten says that we have red lines and if someone crosses them our reaction will be severe and we ourselves are going to state where these lines are maybe they will be secret i don't know he didn't wasn't specific about that and that you he described the united states as the time you're sure from kipling's and not well and the other small border of western nations as the

shackles and the i mean is that they're putting up noises to submit to his support to share khan so that was kind of his message maybe talking about the jet republic a bit which which we have a diplomatic ground right now maybe he sees not only has part of this western hybrid offense against russia but he was not specific right now many and then were moscow bursts that is a good thing so that the ruble a bit stabilized that he didn't speak about ukraine he didn't speak up beth possible military action and that's a seed most likely has better not to speak then and give specific threats then to give specific ones but in the context of all of this of course he's making comments on relations with the united states are described by sama being under strain over issues like ukraine and alexei in a volatile. well the russian american relations are right there was

banned as they have of being they even during the cold war the russian ambassador has been recalled from washington more than a month ago and he is that time to not coming back anytime soon and out of the press the criminal has called kind of demanded or at least recommend that the american ambassador to leap for consultations and he is leaving for consultations the united states says it's not for a long time but anyway we don't have a bass and there's both got details that kind of didn't happen never before and that's a very dangerous development downgrading of diplomatic relations and it could get worse so we are on that and there could be even though i don't know small skirmishes in the black sea in the coming weeks there between americans or nato ships or planes anything could happen hopefully so some diplomacy is happening and

they are both sides will work on trying to deescalate ok now it's rather grim thank you so much probably father howard for speaking to us from moscow thank you. including this syrian refugee. government orders or benefits. for al-jazeera speaks to a former president. to get his thoughts on the european. first . searching for 53 people on board a missing submarine the german made submarine made in 1979 was conducting a torpedo drill and waters north of the island of bali when it stopped responding. military chief has requested the help of australia and singapore in finding that

submarine let's get more from jessica washington who's joining us from jakarta what are you hearing about the submarine. well there in just a few minutes ago we heard from indonesian authorities stating the facts of this developing situation what we know now is that this vessel the 402 requested permission to dive into deeper waters in the early hours of wednesday morning and shortly after making that request and receiving permission to go ahead the vessel lost contact with the indonesian authorities what we know is that around 4 hours after losing contact with the submarine indonesian authorities were doing an aerial surveillance of the area trying to spot the submarine and where it could be located in this area around bali's north coast and they did find what appears to be an oil spill in the location where they believe the submarine was located when

it 1st attempted to dive into deeper waters now hopefully that is something of a breakthrough which help could help with finding the location of this vessel and of the $53.00 individuals on board as you mentioned this is an older submarine but we do know that it did undergo refurbishment in south korea and that process was completed in 2012 we understand that the indonesian navy is currently in the process of surveilling the area both by air and sea and those requests that you mentioned earlier for assistance from neighboring countries astray and singapore as well as india have been responded to and those countries have offered their assistance with this search effort ok just thank you for that update from jakarta. so a landmark ruling in one of america's most important racial justice cases in decades

in minneapolis jury has found the former police officer hovan guilty of the murder and manslaughter of george floyd cho and was filmed kneeling on the arm black man's neck for more than 9 minutes during a botched arrest last may chosen faces up to 40 years in prison when he's sentenced in june but he may appeal arguing the jury was prejudiced by media coverage john hendren has been following the trial in minneapolis. the verdict was swift and decisive the case that became a national referendum on racial justice still held the power to surprise guilty guilty guilty verdict the jury found former minneapolis police officer derek children guilty in the racially charged killing of george floyd on all counts 2nd degree murder 3rd degree murder and 2nd degree manslaughter today you have. all wrong to see if so what happened some of bread. you know the

most imputes in the world scene has live been extinguished and i could do method but what's. especially in a court room over and over and over again as my brother was murdered there's no comparison i can embed that anywhere the world actually compare that. to this because we got justice we got just as we want we're ok we want you he may not be here. but we won it was shelved and expressionless in court who was on trial but it was floyd who became a symbol of racial justice for black americans who felt targeted and abused by police for generations we always maintained the moral high ground knowing that we were on the right side of history. the verdict resonated in the white house where

president joe biden called floyd's family we hadn't seen since the civil rights era in the sixty's protests that unified people of every race generation and peace and with purpose to say enough's enough enough of the senseless killings today. today's verdict is a step forward the legal system had to operate behind barricades manned by national guard troops in a city that border that business is in closed schools in anticipation of a ruling that ended months of demonstrations with celebration. the case that began with a fake $20.00 bill and ended with a nationwide movement might have gone unnoticed if it hadn't been for a viral video taken by a 17 year old girl is excruciating to watch as it was to re watch over and over again throughout the trial of a man treated with dignity speaking his final words to.

crowds of man the streets of minneapolis and the nation since floyd died on may 25th as they leave the courthouse square he insists the movement will continue. and john hendren has a standing by for us is standing right outside where the incident took place john tell us what the mood is like today in the aftermath of the verdict. and it's early morning still there but people are already gathering and we've watched this place which they call george floyd square transformed from a crime scene to memorial to a place of somber celebration and a continuing movement we expect people will continue to gather here today and while this is a spot for a celebration people here are also looking ahead 8 weeks to this sentencing of derek show of and those sentencing guidelines go up to 40 years for each of the 2

murder charges that's a maximum but because he has no priors each of those charges is under minnesota guidelines it's more like 12 and a half years as a recommended sentence and 4 for the manslaughter charge and this is also bad news for the other 3 officers lane and who now or charged with aiding and abetting 2nd degree murder and that means they face a similar sentence so. it's very serious for the officers involved now in what we can officially call a murder. but here there is this sense that there is a kind of victory that we have seen for some time and one that i think came as a real surprise particularly that all 3 guilty 'd verdicts most of the people i've talked to here have said that they were not expecting that and they were not expecting just a complete. a complete condemnation of the officer's actions even though they felt

that what it deserved john i know you're falso been keeping an eye out on what's happens in columbus overnight and that is the shooting dead of a 16 year old black girl by police what can you tell us about the. that's right this was an incident in which we there's a police body camera video and it's difficult to see but you can see 2 young women african-american girls struggling and an officer from his perspective you can see him draw a weapon and fire at one of the girls and the 16 year old makiya bryant died in that incident there was apparently a knife found next to or at the time the community is calling this tragedy the mayor has come out and spoken about it and called it a tragedy and one of the concerns is that the police chief in columbus resigned in

january because of a series of deadly shooting incidents so that's a significant problem in that town and of course it's not lost on the people of that community that it's a young african-american who was killed by police in that incident is well and that is part of the movement that we are talking to people about here they want to pass the george floyd policing act which among other things restricts what police can do in terms of chokeholds and other things so there is some concern that in that particular incident in columbus that there was a bit of overreaction on the part of the police we only know the police story the information we have right now is not based on interviews with people there so we look forward to finding more as this story moves on yeah all right. john thank you so much john hendren reporting from minneapolis. football's controversial new european super league is on the verge of collapse just 2 days after it was announced one of the main organizers says it won't be able to go ahead that's after

several teams with drew from the project all of the english clubs involved including chelsea and manchester city pulled out on tuesday after a major backlash from supporters and politicians and now interim. senate let it go madrid have followed only spanish clubs rael madrid and barcelona are still officially involved now barker joining us from london so this collapse came under immense pressure and talk us through its. yeah it was a real domino effect and it all happened incredibly quickly under ferocious pressure from all sides not any grassroots finds but so will the way up to the top as well manages play is pundits you name it even royalty was involved in condemning the superleague project the likes of prince william who's president of the football association here in england saying that he felt that it would change english football for ever prime minister but was shown since saying that he would throw

a legislative bomb into the mix to try and stop the plan in its tracks the likes of the french president a manual microland saying that he would make sure that existing championships were protected there was a single person that we could find to have something positive to say about it a part of from some senior figures with a real madrid we are still waiting for real madrid to confirm that they are out according to earlier reports many of the teams that have signed up to the super league had been contract stayed until at least 2042 but on tuesday night chelsea were the 1st of the english premier league teams to say that they were preparing paperwork to back out they were followed by manchester city then we heard from athletico madrid and before the end of the evening all 6 of the english teams involved said that they were no longer going to be taking part in the lake and when it comes to arsenal of outside their ground here they issued an apology saying to

the fines the players that manages everybody basically that they made a very big mistake so what's next for european football. as we question with the dust settling i suppose only the ruins of the the simply a period of soul searching most definitely there are some senior figures in italian football that are of looking for some sort of punishment some talk about possibly even kicking out in some aligned ac milan you ventus from syria i don't know how seriously those thoughts will be taken here in the in the u.k. talk of deducting points from some of the teams that have signed up initially to the league others though saying that well look an apology has been given it's time to move on and learn lessons but structurally though questions are also being honest about whether now is the time to seize the opportunity to shake up the

management of these teams many of them run by multi billionaire largely foreign owed is. one key point really chairing the whole sort of setting up of this sleepily none of those teams that signed up with german many of those looking at their so basically saying well look because fines in germany have much more of a stakeholder in those teams that the put the funds themselves avoided those teams going down this particular road if a similar shakeup happened here funds were given more power we wouldn't see that being a top have a top heavy structure when it comes to how these clubs are all run by certainly the ball is rolling though when it comes to really reassessing the future of european football ok thank you time for a check of the weather. fairly quiet weather around the rayburn building to the moment there's been

a big drop in temperature around the levant several degrees as the breeze comes on shore and that's true of northern parts of egypt the breezes coming down the north the red sea you know through the series and the last remaining showers in north and to here on their way through to the caucuses then we're left with quite conditions not especially hot there were 3800 but only 33 in doha and there's a little bit of cloud in the sky but even the potential of showers in the west american society that dissipate about tommy get to friday on saturday proffer what's happening in western turkey what have you got to say a nice shower to iran otherwise it's fine and dry and reasonably warm there is actions or desires to just develop in this is within the last 24 hours this tropical cyclone job or now it's heading towards the african coast you might think mozambique is the obvious destination but this one looks as though i can't guarantee it is heading towards the coast of tanzania not so many cyclons hit the coast of tanzania so that could be quite down she is not

a particularly huge storm but it is unusual in his position beyond that much of southern africa is fine and wall but not the eastern cape here it is wait. here's what's coming up on the news hour it's one of the guatemala's most active volcanoes how kyra's recent eruptions are disrupting wives and sport or we'll have more on the superleague liverpool's owner now apologizing to fans after withdrawing from the doomed european super than. thousands of children were removed from east timor during the indonesian occupation decades later one to one essentially as members of the last generation as they finally head home. on al-jazeera. i mean like a vase in the south of india to find out how a tiny box in this cave brought an extensive mining operation to

a standstill khulna virus had he wept across the world with devastating effect and it's widely believed to be connected to the illegal wildlife trade here in vietnam we did a rescue center for some of the world's most threatened animal and join the call for an end to the global wild wild here in earth rides on al-jazeera. al-jazeera with every.

kind of again you're with the news hour on al-jazeera here are top stories at least 22 patients have died at a public hospital in years western maharastra state when their oxygen supply ran out following a lead. russian president vladimir putin is warning moscow will respond to any foreign provocation but one. other country. finding its. oil spill in the location where the submarine was lost. a research fellow in sea power 30 royal united services institute that's a u.k. based think tank he's joining us from london thanks for your time what do you make

of the missing submarine and what could be the possible reasons behind it. yeah well there's a number of possibilities and while we can say for certain the fact that we know it was conducting a torpedo drill does raise the possibility of i mean missions failure this was the case and you know that previous said dishonest as involving submarine said you know the coast to most famously at which the full tito paedo and of course the explosion but also the more recent study involving the indian submarine the i and this cinder up ship which again a combination of crew mishandling and solti equipment caused caused an explosion on the vessel but so you know that would be just instinctively the most likely possibility but there are the sort of possibilities for which there is precedent you know engine failures which caused a past be avoided chinese submarine in 2003 and and then engine failure caused by

a snorkel leak most recently on the on an argentinean submarine sort of come to mind right so when in denny's and officials are now saying that an oil spill was found near that missing submarine and it and its earlier known location what does that tell you. well immediately it could involve a number of things like in the event that you know that was for example an explosion aboard the submarine sort of a loss of structural integrity could for example result in the contents of a port the submarine so it's being scattered around the possible location but you know whether that's conclusive one way or another it is it's an open question certainly those still in the at the location of the diesel electric submarine could could could be telling what would the process of finding this missing submarine now is it a difficult process we know the indonesians have called on help from australia and

singapore in the hunt. yes so i mean it's generally speaking a difficult process the difficulty is it's contingent on a number of fact that so much time has elapsed since last contact which made with the submarine the depth and the time a tree of the waters in which the submarine was lost being another factor and generally speaking you know there are a number of things you could use to locate a lost submarine for example if they if the cause was an explosion it might well register on the eye drops on owned and operated by a number of countries and organizations it in the region and around it one would also need probably in preston would suggest a fairly large number of maritime patrol aircraft and surface vessels to scan the area in which it might be and finally in the event that any of the crew us the bobbing one would typically use that deep submergence rescue vehicle to to attempt

a rescue and the and needless to say this sort of makes a basket of things for which you know in the nation it's to reach out to regional units ok thank you so much for speaking to us from london my pleasure the head of sri lanka's roman catholic church is accusing the government of stalling investigations into the 21000 easter bombings the attacks on catholic worshipers killed 269 people and left more than 500 injured nearly 200 suspects were arrested and the government at the time was criticized for not acting on intelligence information ahead of those attacks and offer a hand as is life for us are now gone most so 2 years may now after the attacks of the government's made progress and its investigations. seriously depends on who you talk to the government centrally has been claiming

particularly in the d.s. and the few weeks leading up to the 2nd anniversary that it has sort of looking to found identified some of the key brains behind those easter bombings of 2019 just a few days ago we had the minister of public security saying that they had identified a muslim cleric called now from a levy a man who was under detention orders being questioned that they had identified him as a master by having sort of indoctrinated needed one of the main bombers. shame but you talk to different people and they have a different view the head of the catholic church and the archbishop cardinal. whose voice you can just hear in the background because he's celebrating mass here at the cut to a pretty a church which is just behind me the church in the gumbo that suffered one of the highest single number of casualties in one location now the cardinal has been. in

his criticism of the deal is he today speaking early this morning basically said that political posturing and the need to protect political alliances had sort of scuppered investigations had delayed investigations there are fingers being pointed to go was essentially in places of authority for concealing not going far enough with investigations essentially covering up for people and there are lots of questions being asked and 24 months after that east a bombing we're having more questions than answers the opposition has also raised a number of questions regarding an answer to issues which do have some serious kind of bearings on this entire incident i mean there are things a centrally like one line. investigations which found that there had been essentially one sort of individual who was found supposed to have been keeping

close contact with a member of the military intelligence this man was apprehended and essentially what the opposition claims is that once he was apprehended the military intelligence arm moved in saying it was you know one of their operatives under sort of their umbrella so then a lot of questions the cardinal himself as the head of the catholic church and you know safeguarding his flock and trying to fight for justice for all these victims who were killed going to church on easter sunday keep saying that the truth must be found that you know hiding the truth is basically a crime and justice must be done in his sermon again as i refer to what you can hear behind me right just said that this kind of mass murder as he described it is a crime and he said people will pay a price ok mel fernandez thank you for a vat's reporting from sri lanka. syria has been stripped off its rights and

privileges in the global chemical weapons organization $87.00 countries voted in favor of the motion 15 including syria russia china and iran voted against the move comes after an investigation blamed damascus for 3 poison gas attacks and $27.00. and the syrian president bashar assad has submitted documents to run for a 3rd term in next month's election the u.s. and the syrian opposition have criticized the vote calling it a farce it's been 10 years since the start of the syrian conflict and the country is still mired in a war that has displaced millions and killed hundreds of thousands. while 2 years ago nearly a 1000000 syrians were forced to flee their homes in northern helmand southern during a military assault by government and russian forces now rights groups say their homes on land are being unlawfully confiscated and given to government supporters that has more. mohammed and his family used to live a comfortable life until a syrian and russian military offensive in northwest syria forced them to leave

their home 2 years ago they moved further north to areas controlled by the opposition and lip muhammad is not only unable to return to his hometown in the hama countryside because of security concerns the government confiscated his land or the lock out autumn illusion of a security committee in hama province decided not to allow what they called terrorists from returning to the lanes when government documents were issued formally confiscating my land along with the land of at least 100 others who they consider opponents imagine they also confiscated land belonging to my relatives as well this is why mohammad still hides his identity he fears for their punishment against those who stayed behind human rights groups say 44000 hectares of agricultural land have been unlawfully seized since the government captured northern hama and southern from the opposition syrian government has not announced the option or reached out to the individual and they did not provide them with an

opportunity to challenge the decision and did not provide the nation when they took over the land millions have been displaced from across the country and the 10 years of war and it's not the 1st time authorities have retrospectively punished their opponents existing laws make it hard for those who can't or won't return to government controlled territory to hold on to their properties. we can return to our homes because of the presence of this criminal regime i will try through human rights groups to legally challenge the regime god willing i'll get my land back in any way possible peacefully or even through war. the government has placed many refugees and internally displaced people on a list of what it calls terrorists to justify the land grabs in a move rights groups describe a systematic repression. many it's not just about material losses. i'll give you an
