quite interesting is it no france really has thrown its weight behind the what appears to observers to be a military takeover in chad why is it doing this why is france taking this position . i sing of francis his prisoner of inspiration was charged on one side and the other side is expressed by a statement made by the exit. to the deaths of the b. fronts is quite concerned about the divisions within the army on the perceived believe in faith teams inside the gym and so do they want to that percentage of the maize the current transitional meat a council on december bush will sum up winning to get those are in but but they fear very much that the stick over by may actually split the army on

create more to him are you in charge at the time france need young troops inside and so why is chad so important to france indeed not just the fronts but the rest of the the sahil region. well i simply started g.e. as been 2 morts the military but the military approach is. the only response to the challenges raised by. groups if some east or jihadi groups because they are not all of the same. and of course chad was the only the only army in the region that's willing and able to project troops and swear their flowchart became very important to be terry current operation. i must say this though i understand that france

has to pay respect 'd to one of his allies in the region at the same time korean debates because diplomatic alevi or at the level of the t.v. show that these strategies is getting bay wrong and that there is a need to was seeing the use of the military means in the region if you want to curb the. group's activities on restore some kind of throw on order in the region you need refunds on the vents us claimed by many or medical but certainly days a tendency to keep the our means which mean the meter reader jake beyond any political reforms of the sort of the chances for this reform do you think in chads because father is says pass the mantle over to son mohamad to the state.

is he a reformer or do you think the were like the. i doubt very much i mean that the a. i want discusses all of us just if you see the all too rose was 14 military general round. of uses where was it was the b. or the last 15 or 20 years played a major war in the provision inciting or opposition on beating and the democratic expression in this country so i don't know by which miracle those people could the moral crime or. political opening more transparency in the management of the resources of the state on rain thick with the rivers that are still moving around rooming around in so i thir it's going to be

a difficult time because these transitional mitsui can commute will be contested was in the army for a number of prisons the 2 regional representation the age as well as my home not the city 7 is major in europe according to the constitution is shouldn't be. undone there are a lot of scores that need to be set because the b.s.a. is that so wary it's a difficult time i may understand the friendship concerns but certainly the french diplomacy at this moment is going to inflame the situation and not put it down ok i have challenging times and deed lie ahead. from the seals for thank you so much for sharing your expertise and analysis of us here on al-jazeera we appreciate it but let's head back to where we can join our correspondent at here about more

again that funeral appears to be underway but before at hands there was a meeting held within regional players france the african union and the g 5 among them at what have we learned about this meeting 'd. let's look at the backup at which at this meeting and we're not having an awful lot of success with our lifes today unfortunately we will try to reconnect with her to get the latest on this but now let's turn to another story making waves in the region a new malaria vaccine is being hailed as a possible game changer in the fight eliminates the disease the oxford institute jabbers 77 percent effective in stopping infections it's no answer in larger human trials to rule out its any size affects well malaria kills half a 1000000 people every year many of them children or we can cross the it's

a journey joint dream in nigeria i was probably talking a lot about the coronavirus over the last year or so but malaria is is a very big problem indeed across the african continent. bigger problem is is it in nigeria where you are. it's a very serious problem niger accounts for more than 20 percent of cases global cases and nearly 20 percent. deaths here and more than half the population is at risk of contract in many areas in fact a lot some statistics indicate that as much as 80 to 90 percent of the population is exposed to malaria so with the coming of this vaccine it will be welcome development for many and if you look at the incidence of malaria over the last one year during commute 19 you realized that

a lot of people didn't get the help they need. because then hospitals were off limits to some people and i looked at people who are even afraid of going to hospitals for cases small cases so little infections like my mariya that many because of those little infections or small infections so cases multiplied over the past year and they were actually little or no treatment for many people and we expect that when statistics of malaria infections i will ease 420202021 you will notice a significant increase in the number of people affected by malaria were given this . if this vaccine this malaria vaccine to be safe and effective how much of a game changer would it be in countries like nigeria. it

will it will be a very very important step for many sufferers of men and i remember as we said earlier the prevalence rate of malaria is very very high in fact 80 to 90 percent of the population is at risk and how about the question is how many people will take the money of vaccine we remember what happened to the test of the testing of another vaccine in congo some years back by fighter which is for a many that killed a lot of people it was scandalous here and then now we having some resistance in such a part of the country about to be covered 19 in fact if a lot of people warm up to the idea of malaria vaccine then it will drastically cut in front and maternal death rates in nigeria in fact maternal death rates in nigeria because of my native caused by malaria is up to 11 percent right now so if that happens it will be good news for health workers it will be good news for

a lot of people exposed to malaria in nigeria and it certainly would bring us the latest from a budget in nigeria thank you so much oh. there's plenty more still ahead on this including a lack of medical supplies across kenya as forcing health workers to choose a saint in the battle against the kona virus. brain. there. and there are we'll tell you why this latest successful space x. launched has made history once again and as barcelona as plans get back to playing football as the club issues a statement saying it's still in the european super league. well as countries around the world try to speed up their coronavirus vaccination campaigns it's increasingly looking like a race against time this graph from the university of oxford compiled with data

government what kind of impact will they have. well not much at the moment because many of the members of the national unity government cabinet are already in detention like those senior members in the former president when mint you just mentioned or they're in hiding many of them in areas around the border with neighboring countries areas that are under the tree of the control of other ethnic forces at this stage the formation of the national unity government is for the most part symbolic but i think it was done very much to try and deny legitimacy to the military jets that both in the eyes of the people with them but i think importantly for those people outside in governments outside as well a lot of people hoping very much that with this as the end summit meeting the national unity government would be invited in some capacity but it does at this stage appear to have been shown by the southeast asian leaders meeting in jakarta this week and

well let's talk about those leaders are meeting in jakarta says you think they're likely to find a unified line in their approach to me n. mar or have they already decided on one given that their national unity government aren't able to send representatives that well that does seem to be split emerging war that has emerged pretty much since the coup with malaysia indonesia and singapore on one side individually they've issued fairly strong statements decrying the coup and the violence that's followed in the crackdown in other countries like thailand which remain relatively silent but there's been a huge amount of anger on social media and on the streets of myanmar senior general minong lai has been invited and people are saying that his invitation gives legitimacy to the military coup. ali larter buddhist monks march

through the city of mandalay holding up signs supporting the national unity government the shadow civilian government was formed to reverse any acceptance of the military genter at home and abroad the protesters have been outraged in the past week by ass chance decision to invite senior general minong lie to the leaders' summit. for those pushing neighboring governments to take a stand against the coup and the crackdown that followed it's a grave disappointment we are very very upset and sorry what is happening. is. welcoming. gender is killing its own people the chaos that's been seen on the streets of myanmar over the past 3 months has been disturbing for many within r.c.m. individually countries like singapore indonesia and malaysia have condemned the bloodshed and urged restraint the possibility of a failed state within the bloc threatens our claims of economic and political

stability but others have remained relatively quiet expecting the protests would be limited and quickly suppressed within thailand is the country that has the best relationship with your most generals but the thais don't seem very keen on intervention which might explain why the thai prime minister is staying at home this weekend that lack of unity and failure to hold myanmar's generals to account a likely to be costly the world food program is warning that millions could go hungry in coming months and fighting in border areas could send refugees pouring into neighboring countries this is a maritime disaster in the making it's early stage but it could get worse the knock on effects from this crisis we're beginning to see a civil war failed state and there will be no end to it. protestors in dar way hold a candle lit vigil for the victims of the myanmar protests now more than 700 people

but few are expecting more than thoughts and prayers for massey ends leaders. well at this stage we can't be exactly sure what's going to be. the leaders summit in jakarta on saturday but it is not an organization well known for its strong stance on the many people are expecting that apart from a statement and probably not even a very strongly worded statement there won't be very much action at all and that is a problem because as the situation spirals out of control is one of the few organizations that really could make a difference ok tony chang there live from bangkok tony thank you well the so-called american dream has ended for 85 deported migrants from honduras as u.s. authorities curb on documented migration they landed home on wednesday the 2nd such fight this year and were given foods personal hygiene kits transports and phone
