meeting for 2 hours that went on for 3 when they came out we heard strong messages from the malaysian prime minister who said that the killings and the violence they'd seen since the coup must end president choco way of indonesia said the developments since the coup were unexceptable and we understand now that c.n.n. has met. has a can found consensus on an agreed meeting statement with 5 points the 1st is to end violence the 2nd is the dialogue must start between those parties involved in the violence that humanitarian assistance will be delivered by c. and that a special envoy will go and they've been talking about this for the last couple of days but we understand that special envoy will go. as a mediator between the protesters and the military and finally that all political prisoners will be released and presumably that will include senior leaders from the

n.l. the uncertain suchi and the president when we understand from singapore's prime minister lee hsien long. that. senior gentleman onli was involved in the discussions was receptive to these suggestions and did agree to some of them. what is going to happen on the ground when he returns home is another thing indeed because on the ground back home they've been more protests this saturday tell us about those and how what's been discussed in in jakarta today and what they've agreed there how is that going to be viewed and received by the protesters in. well they have been very unhappy that minong i was invited they said as the jetta mysie to the gentry and they've been expressing their anger out on the streets again protesting all across the

country from the far north down to the south i'm on state and state and the message they've heard is that they want the recognition of the november 2020 alexion they want political prisoners to be released and they want the violence to stop in there they seem to be in general agreement with the statement from the sea and leaders how there she comes into play those is quite another thing we've seen. in the past in the ninety's in the early 2000 agreeing to various road maps with c.n.n. agreeing to all sorts of conditions to bring themselves out of international sanctions on the ground however things have been very different and i think the issue is also going to be how are you going to bring the protesters to the table they say they were part of a democratic process that has been thrown out of the window by the secure in the fact that they are now protesting in such large numbers and so many people have been killed no more than 700 i think means that they want more now they don't want

to go back to a state where it is a managed democracy side by side with a military that retains a very strong power they they've seen what the military going to do and i think now they're going to want the military gone thank you for that update tony chang live for a sailor in bangkok. on the n. mars the u.n. ambassador who is an outspoken critic of the military and was sacked by the jintao hopes progress can be made the u.n. has not recognize its missile he spoke to our diplomatic adds it james. whatever that did this make by the leaders of the earth r.c.n. this should take into account of saving lives or in north sensibility and. buying the millet saving leisel in north and civilly and in ma and are providing humanitarian assistance to the people in need we need to stop the atrocity the inhumane acts committed by the military this

3 point that the need to take into account whatever decision that the mit because they're just very important saving lives in north and civilian is very important for the everyone that is there nobody touched for the human kind please see life or in your sensibility that is the visit point that take into account one never did take the position you know the commander in chief of me and why our military gentlemen on line is going to be attending this summit what do you want other leaders to say to him and is it as some have suggested time while the military are in control to expel or suspend me on march from r.c.n. for now. you know the the beginning what we want is the us the end should listen. to not only from the the military but also

from the democratic forces so that you know but unfortunately anyone found the the national unity government was. no one from the national unity government was invited to the meeting but it is disappointing. on to other world news now and indonesia's navy has discovered the 1st sign of a submarine that's been missing for days many feared its oxygen was running out in the race to find the vessel or not have recovered debris the submarine has been declared sunk and is lying at a depth of about 850 meters it's oxygen supplies are estimated to run out several hours ago $53.00 crew members on board. with the discovery of evidences of equipment from the submarine this is the proof that there are cracks in the submarine due to heavy pressure that it dept of 700 to 800 meters.

jessica washington has more from jakarta. based on that debris which is evidence that they have so far they've concluded that they can now change the status of this vessel from sub mis to subs sunk now some of what they found includes the top ito launch pipe of this submarine this karen 402 as well as a plastic bottle with grease which is used for the used for greasing various parts of the submarine they also found sponges which are used to wipe condensation and they also found what appear to be prim months now according to what they found and based on this evidence they say that it's likely that there are cracks in the submarine because if they want cracks than this debris wouldn't have been able to have been found now there's also they've also confirmed that the spread of the fuel spill that they found in this search of the seas or around bali was around a 16 kilometer radius now they say that the submarine could have sunk as low as 850

meters below the surface of the ocean and in that instance the submarine is well beyond the capacity of what it was built to withstand authorities at this stage say that it's quite unlikely that there was an explosion on board the submarine because in the event that that happened they would have heard it now at this stage they say they are still exploring the possibilities for medical evacuations because they cannot comment on whether the crew the 53 individuals on board this vessel are still alive or not they say that evacuation process will be incredibly risky but they are trying their best with assistance from international partners including singapore and australia well let's not speak to frank owen who is a former sub-mariner with the australian navy is joining us via skype from canberra thank you very much fun for being with us so in the nation of stories as we've

heard they have changed the status from submits to subside they have no catered it they say what is it going to take now what's the next step how difficult will it be for them to reach and retrieve the submarine. i think it will be very difficult it will be easy to retreat to reach the sovereign. they will have access to a number of remotely operated vehicles that. certainly have the capacity to reach that and those vehicles have capacity to do with manipulators. that move like oh like almost like humans. to pick out of objects and bring them back to the surface . the can't believe the of actually retrieving the submarine is a another big step and it's way beyond the capacity you has every navy

except perhaps the u.s. navy i was going to ask you about that whether indonesia's navy was actually capable of recovering the submarine or what sort of help or would they turn to for help. that would probably turn to. companies like the dutch smit company that lifted this could ask in the barents sea after that explosion in 2000. smaller summer and like they and gallo of 1400 tons is still a very very large body of metal to lives right in this incident here they've ruled out an explosion i'm asking you to speculate here of course frank but what do you think could have happened here what could have caused what would cause a submarine to sink almost almost exclusively they were causes around to sink is taking on more water then the ballast tanks the buoyancy can counteract.

so that means of the flood and if it's a slow flood so i say slow it would seem very fast then that there would be an increase in the the water inside until such time as a filters. but if there was a. hole was found until such time as it reached its close they've been the implosion would be significant and that probably would have been heard when the someone from argentina sanctioned in $27.00 saying. the sound of its implosion was detected in the azores several 100 an organ hours away. so what what would it be like then for the crew on board $53.00 quorn board they're said to have run out of oxygen several hours ago do you think there's any

hope of finding any of them alive. i don't find i don't hold any hope in that regard. the the very very fact that some items are outside the hole means that there's a bridge and if there's a bridge then the hole will be full of water. and there's there's no escape system in that summer and that can. perform any that is below 190 may just be the summer it is not fitted with a rescue be safe there are no risky systems in the world that can successfully conduct a risk you're at that depth anyway. so. all in all i i don't see any prospect of survival of anybody you know that's a right terribly sad situation thank you so much frank for speaking to us about this frank. from i think you are a submarine out with the australian navy thank you very much. and plenty more ahead

on this news hour including why the dutch government's plan to the east restrictions are causing unease in the medical fields guinea's capital is getting a make over but it comes at a price for many families and in sports the career 1st for this former u.s. open gold champion details coming up later today. at. the a and. there's renewed tension between russia and ukraine this time at sea russia is closing access to the current straight to conduct military drills on saturday it would be in violation of a treaty with ukraine russia took control of the strait when it onix crimea in 2014 and this comes as relations have appeared to be settling down russia has begun with drawing troops from the ukrainian border after a major buildup in recent weeks western powers were concerned russia plan to aid

moscow separatists in ukraine's east a cease fire was signed last year but outbreaks of fighting have become more frequent in the past few months that speak to burn a smith who joins us live to tell us about the closure of the curse st bernard later today and the significance of this waterway. probably over my shoulder is the bridge over the strait linking crimea to the russian mainland it was built by the russians in the years after russia occupied crimea in 2014 essentially to create a permanent langley link between crimea and the russian mainland and under the bridge passes maritime vessels naval vessels merchant vessels to the russian and ukrainian ports in the sea of book from 9 o'clock tonight russia says ukrainian naval vessels and 3rd party nations vessels will not be allowed through here and

that will stop the ukrainian navy reaching eastern ukrainian ports it is essentially another way of russia cementing control over this area they're not supposed to be able to cement control here because there is a treaty allowing russia between russia and ukraine giving them equal access to the sea of hours off and this is clearly in breach of the treaty the exercises that you referred to while russia says they're going to close access until october until the end of october that's an extremely long time for naval exercises to go on for foley . so when does russia expect to complete pulling out its. cranium border. well it says that their exercises are over and it says the withdrawal will be completed by may 1st they're not withdrawing from everywhere and we know that one unit has been told to leave its armored vehicles at

a camp that's about 200 kilometers or so in russian territory from the ukrainian border and he says those vehicles will be left until autumn there is still a military presence of course in this area and we've seen military incumbents on the way driving here this morning but again what the exercises did was show that russia is of easily able to assert itself in this area that it remains in control of crimea on the waters around crimea that it has a significant military presence in this part of the world even though those exercises are over thank you for that brenna smith there live in courage straight let's get the view now from the ukrainian side he is charged stratford at the port of mari a poll. well the ukrainians as you can imagine a very angry about this they called it a gross violation of the right to freedom of navigation and a violation of the un convention of the law of the sea they see it as being

a provocation by russia only adding to the kind of tension that we've seen in the region in the last couple of weeks around that fast troop deployment by the russians along ukrainian borders and around crimea this will to the eyes off see in the strait is supposed to be on a joint jurisdiction when the russians and ukrainians according to a 2003 agreement now cover days ago we were out with the marriott pulled maritime to work with the ukrainian navy and they were saying that that agreement was signed in 2003 and he's now almost redundant because of course we've had a conflict that started in 2014 and russia annexed crimea so the ukrainians are feeling weakened policy if you like to act and that's despite obviously great international support in rhetoric at least calling for the russians to to maintain

freedom of navigation in these very strategically important waters to both countries. china russia and the european union are offering india equipment to generate oxygen as it's called the 1000 crisis worsens nearly 2 dozen oxygen generating machines from germany are expected in new delhi in the next few days in derry corded the world's highest number of new infections on saturday more than 346000 as health care system is nearing collapse with hospitals short of beds medicine and oxygen doctors say they're turning away patients every day. i came here to get my grandfather treated he's suffering from coded 19 they are not living assume we don't understand anything the security guard is saying there is no doctor available here if there is no doctor need the emergency ward where we go his oxygen level is dropping alarmingly. if the government wants they can do anything they have the power and they are using it also the problem is that they're not

doing it properly i go from hospital to hospital i have been pleading with everyone every person i meet. algis there isn't is a random has more now from. i'm outside one of your daddy's many testing centers where there have been long lines outside for the past few weeks labs like every other part of the health care system overloaded with people having to wait many days to get results and what that means is that people who are sick who have severe . because they don't have a positive results yet. beds and oxygen in many states most notably where another 20 people died on saturday after their oxygen ran off from the hospital 24 people died because of the same reason and another hospital in delhi on friday now the government is using planes and trains to transport oxygen but health experts say that they should have

used a few months at the start of the year when cases were very close to critical care facilities then they were also angry at the government allow them at large gather the political and religious gatherings to take place up until this week allowed the virus to spread so now states are imposing more and move the structures to try to bring down the number of cases to stop the health care system from complete collapse here in the capital delhi people leave their homes on those they work and go to considered essential services or to get essential supplies the prime minister met in ramadi has said that a nation like the one his government imposed last year has to be the last resort because of its economic impact. russian president vladimir putin has backed a proposal by health officials for people to stop working for 10 days in early may to curb the spread of coronavirus minister says he called 900 situation is stable

but warns it may worsen when people socialize more in the warmer weather russia has reported almost 9000 new cases in the past. 24 hours well below the 21000 a day added speak in december reserve words. i will urge all of my colleagues to listen to the opinion of specialists to reroll or just to those who are not just professionals in the area but who have also been fighting in fiction especially in the last year and have received such diverse and end it from from asian about covert 19 if you think the measure to prolong my holidays is necessary been fine we will do so and today i will sign the corresponding decree of the netherlands meanwhile the dutch government has decided to ease restrictions at a time when hospitals are facing the largest influx of patients in months at the same time large test events involving fountains of people are being organized to see how to safely reopen society a doctor's want straights lockdowns kept in place and recourse in the hospital in

break up. this is where the impact of the nat'l and 3rd wave of covert 19 becomes visible inside hospitals medical workers are trying to save patients mostly in their fifty's and younger patients are really scared because they have seen for a whole year with over can do to people and that's frightening them and us as well he also put it by fans of. operations are being canceled and the recovery room is now filled with coronavirus patients on fantasy later doctors and nurses are exhausted we have long been stretched to the limit but we can't give up we have to continue patients continue to come from 24 i.c.u. beds we now have 39 we simply can't see we will quit. outside it feels like a different world the government is easing some restrictions and is testing more ways to make crowded events safe one was plant near the hospital to celebrate the

kings day holiday but was cancelled after an outcry. while many in an evidence believe that the worst of the pandemic is over this is the reality in many hospitals at the moment doctors are warning that the intensive care units are approaching the so-called code black when all bets are full and difficult decisions will have to be mate who will be treated and you won't feel hospital is ready for this worst case scenario but says delay in reopening the economy would help prevent it acting balancing on a real them court. we are managing at this moment the situation but when the opening leads to more and more patients we are. becoming getting a situation like the dutch government has been criticized for its response instead pandemic began documents show at one stage it pursued herd immunity by letting the

virus brat and was slow to begin vaccinations my main concern is that from the offset this government chose a strategy that does not protect most of us but is willing to sacrifice most of us and they do so they said they did they did so because of economic reasons but we we are now seeing that one of the reasons also not the economical reasons are valid we have people dying we have hospitals who just simply can't deal with the amount of patients anymore and i really don't think that this this is the time to go easy on the restrictions by medical records for. now the easing of rules from april 28th has medical staff worrying that their worst fears could become a reality star fasten al-jazeera can offer a check on a world weather has avatars. hello there we got to warming up nicely now across much of the a middle east but some places of cloud want to see showers set chiefly crystal

palace of the regions that if you could catch fish i would say but otherwise as you can see it's pretty much wall to wall sunshine lots of hazy sunshine coming through when it's warm sunshine as well into the forty's to kuwait for baghdad getting into the mid thirty's for damascus and i think we'll see the levant just picking up on those temperatures as we go on through the next couple of days further south will be getting up to 38 here in the eighty's 100 in found so the temperatures picking up here as well just much as the possibility of wanted to show was just around the southern end of the red sea through southern parts of saudi arabia just was it western side of yemen join up and show us that we have across the ethiopian harlen some showers there too into somalia and of course we keeping a close eye on our tropical system making its way towards tanzania already filtering some rather wet weather in across the east coast of thailand and the possibility of some flash flooding coming through here winds could cause a little bit of damage you see some significant rainfall coming through the next 24

hours or so wanted to these places could see maybe 70 or 80 millimeters of rain and cause flooding at in thank you very much for that still ahead on the news hour maybe i will doubt it's vaccination campaign but there are fears it could be sidelined by political infighting or favoritism as spectacular view from above as seems national space station rock and sun new residence and sport we take a look at what women's rugby is doing to tackle concerns over concussion injuries. it's the political debate show that's challenging the way you think i want to know where you're to stand on cancer culture decreasing the range of ideas that can be heard from international politics to the global pandemic and everything in between is tech up. these are the ones with all the power what do we do with the solution 'd. what are world leaders or governments.

up front with me mark lamont hill 0. a promising parts out of the pandemic but implementing the greatest inoculation in history is testing the global community around the world already a clear gap is that between rich nations and poor ones when it comes to vaccinating their populations from the geopolitics to the pure economics the misinformation and the latest developments what's going on here is very different for a start look that soon comes in the form of the nasal spray special coverage of the corona virus pandemic. the.

torch in the news hour on al-jazeera reminder our main stories the leaders of indonesia and malaysia are calling for an end to the violent crackdown on tycoon protesters in myanmar the military gentle reader has been in jakarta for crisis talks with southeast asian leaders. seen indonesia have recovered debris believed to be for a missing submarine the navy says it will continue to search for possible survivors but it's believed there are supplies run out hours ago and russia is due to close access to the kurdish straight in the coming hours in order to conduct military exercises violating a treaty with ukraine but moscow says it will still allow merchant ships to pass through to access ukraine's orsini. now ever wonder what it would feel like to disconnect from the world and hide away in a cave for a few weeks while 15 people in france have found out a group of french scientists and explorers has emerged from a cave after spending 40 days inside they were in deep isolation without any sense

of time why do they do that. to explain. a jew. an anesthesiologist a security guard and some scientists walk out of a cave and back into the world. they spent 6 weeks in isolation deep inside the pyrenees mountains in southwest france as part of a scientific study the 15 men and women lived in a human cave in partial darkness without phones watches natural lights nor any other indicator of time. the deep time experiment is led by swiss french researcher and explore christian close to studying how extreme isolation affects people's cognition and emotions. close widely known for carrying out expeditions alone to remote reaches of the planet and this study focuses on how people can be disorientated by extreme events and explore ways to prepare for them we want to be true of. all we believe how they can synchronize their.

homes razed to the ground for much in the interim we saw these machines come to destroy our houses tools windows everything they said that they wanted to widen the roads because of that they destroyed everything many of the forced evictions are happening in the capital areas with a mix of small businesses residential buildings and informal dwellings. to get in government says the land belongs to the state and those living there are squatters even though many have proof of ownership. these satellite images show the extent of house demolition in 2019 a loan an estimated 20000 guineans lost their homes then and many more since the president alpha condé said people will be compensated but rights groups say it's slow to come and often people are left in limbo many of the people robin victim in conakry not only live in the house they have the business in the house shops and they might have the children going to school in the neighborhood and so in the

space of such a short time losing all of that and the government really has an obligation to make sure that it provides for the people being evicted so that they don't suffer in the process. residents complained they're giving very little notice before this is reduced to rubble. to kamar i was informed just 72 hours before his home and livelihood were bulldozed. this is where i had my 2 shops one was a store it's all gone now i have to live in a minibus they destroyed everything in a few seconds they leave nothing to the poor like me ford is also running a small business from the bus and has so far not received any compensation. the government is likely to continue his drive to gentrify the capital but rights groups say that without providing a tour it is for people those living in poverty will only see their lives deteriorate further but at the. armenians around the world are marking the mass

yet. my house was destroyed by an airstrike we are poor i lived in a camp for 3 years they asked me to leave the last one and i heard about this camp have been here for a for months. 12 year old son his abdominal cancer but he and many others don't have access to health care at this remote camp in the northern self-governing kurdish region. we believe the iraqi government's decision to close the camps isn't military but a political decision kurdish regional government opened its doors we don't benefit from the refugees there are a burden on the carriage of government but we look after them for humanitarian reasons. aide workers say 70 percent of the people here are in debt many for trying to find food in a home it's kitchen there's barely enough to eat a lot so. living here is also difficult but i don't have a choice i can only buy potatoes rice eggplant because of for meat i haven't tasted meat for months since of the camps for shut down 300 families have arrived at the

house and charm you to camp those in charge say the government is intentionally making matters worse to force out people. the iraqi government did not include them in the food baskets for displaced families and help from n.g.o.s is not enough for all the world food program gives money which is not sufficient concern and fear is that the situation is going to become more difficult for the last 2 months there have been no electricity in this camp which is home to about 5000 people but even in the days conditions people find life here easier than what it is when they try to go back and rebuild their homes which have been destroyed in the fighting. so i had i would have found shelter in this construction site he's angry for being forced out of his tent with nowhere to go and new opportunities to rebuild his life in your own home or your. yes they forced me to leave the camp kick me out without any alternative my house is totally damaged if the government pays me i will rebuild my house i want to return but the situation has forced me to live here in
