the world needs right now in washington. ah, ah, me, this is al jazeera. ah hello, i'm rob matheson and this is ben hughes live from dell ha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. the security forces arrest employees. busy of the likes a compound in east jerusalem after julius israelis are allowed to enter the area. seeing a volcano thousands in eastern democratic republic of congo, a force to escape their homes after an interruption. and rainy and politicians,

the nuclear watched on inspectors no longer have access to information from the facilities after a monitoring deadline expires. in 21 run as die as extreme weather hits madison in northwestern china and i teach them to the schools news from the n b a play or senate dramatic final. they have football in europe coming up to us. american phone mickleson is just one good round away from becoming the oldest major winning gulf history at the pga championship. ah. the tension again of the like, so most compound and occupied east jerusalem afterwards reopened for jewish visitors. it was a flash point during the latest israel palestine conflict began on may 10th for the 1st time since then. more than a 100 israeli jews have been allowed to enter the courtyards, security forces escorted them. but during that visit 5 employees of the most board

. what arrested well, those tensions come, those people in garza, a resumed work after 11 days of israeli strikes that left thousands homeless, local government activities had stopped when the bombardments began the year and has called for all sides to respect the sci fi which went into effect on friday, that's also called for immediate humanitarian assistance for palestinians. i was just seeing how the faucet is in guys. i'm going to be speaking to him in just a few moments. first, let's go to one of the meet his joining us from damascus gate outside the aisle acts or com plan. just talk us through what was happening this morning. well this morning, quite early in the morning. around 8 o'clock, a group of jewish visitors entered the most come now that is allowed to them within certain i was doing work day. but the markup of these visitors are usually jewish settlers or israelis to the far right

leaning or i'll try nationalists. this comes at the time where the tensions are very high temperature flare up all the time. you have to also understand that these visitors go and surrounded and under the protection of israeli forces. so there were some scuffles from what we understand that was parked by the fact that some of the guards of the must compound were filming, with their mobile phones. it angered to security forces and about 4 people were arrested, including 4 of them being the guards of that compound order, given the the circumstances and the way you've described the people who would go to visit the site under these circumstances. it's fairly clear that there is a risk of a provocation, isn't that? and given everything that has been going on for the last 1112 days,

this kind of situations going to be what's very, very closely, isn't it? yes, absolutely. and is really government knows that's perfectly well actually, those visitation rights were suspended during the entire cycle of hostilities and actually was suspended from remedy and a whole month rather than because they were a lot of tensions in that compiled. so today is actually the 1st day that they were reinstated, and in about half an hour, they should be another hour where they are allowed to go. now, you know, i was in the fire, there's been ongoing, sort of flare ups of tensions around most compound. 30 people have already been arrested all palestinians, and that is just, i think the more of these visitation will just inflame the situation more and more, especially at the time when not very far from here is the issue of the ships or ra

neighborhood. these families, that aspect and of expulsion. now the authorities are just gonna put concrete blocks to sort of block them as a lately isolate them, making it very difficult to reach these families who are the bottom of the street. all of this compounded could lead to another escalation, and that's actually what the spokesperson of the palestinian authorities. he just said in a statement, he warned that the tensions of him occupied east jerusalem word to sort of this latest cycle of violence or just park of this latest cycle of violence. and that hasn't stuff that hasn't decreased and you know, it could really flare up at any given time, ask anyone here. and they will tell you that that's the situation. everybody in occupied issues. and if you are listed, you know, you're living on edge of the honey, bring you something from outside the likes,

a mosque compound. holla, thanks very much. that's got to hurry faucet, who's joining us from the gaza strip. hurry, i understand that you're in the northern part of ga course. that was one of the areas which took some of the greatest number of israeli rockets. you've been talking to people there. tell us what they've been saying about what they've been going through. well yes, we're here in baked la here, right up in northern garza, we've been seeing these morning tents kind of springing up around the strip. this one though, usually the individual families, individual homes. this is really a morning tend to the entire neighborhood and you can see what has happened here. this is just one home, but it's perhaps the most devastating story. this is a small courtyard outside. what was a family home constricted space. it was full of teenagers and young people in the 20s hanging out here. it was the thursday evening, the 1st day of the conflict. so about 10 days ago. and inside this courtyard,

what looks like an artillery shell from a long range is ready, gun pitch and detonated and killed. 4 people immediately, extraordinarily, among those who were in there were 13 year old go and 8 months old cousin. and somehow they were pushed out by the blast wave into the road here. and we met the 8 months old man. and he just survived with a few scratches, one of them, his face a couple on his body, but he is healthy and intact and smiling. and so his family is just extraordinarily grateful that this has happened while at the same time being in grief for the rest of the neighbourhood here. because there are many others who are killed here and many others made homeless. you may have seen the pictures of hundreds of people fleeing south regards the on that same night. this is what they were fleeing their houses, pockmarked all around here. more than somebody totally destroyed. we were hearing about another family that have left. they have almost somewhere to come back to

that isn't entirely destroyed, but they're too frightened to the children, too traumatized, too frightened to come back. this was the night of the most intense heavy, concentrated as strike and artillery fire from the israelis that we had seen up to that point. it was the night when they did a faint invasion trying, according to these were the media reports to drive and indeed be ready government to drive. how much fight is another fighters underground and into defensive positions, only to be struck from the and from the long range artillery. we've been speaking to the natives around here, asking them if there are any military positions for hamas or any of the other fighting groups in this area. they have been telling us know, we're going to go and look for them. as soon as we're done with this live shot, but this is obviously a civilian area, full of families and children who are on the 1st day of the out and about trying to enjoy it. even amongst the,

the warfare that was going on. and that will say it came straight here and has had a devastating impact in terms of loss of life, homelessness, and trauma. thank you very much. indeed, that's how you for. so when you're up to date, when can we can? can we come back to you? i just been so sorry, come this way. i just want to show you this is of the rockman and his father here. this young lad here who has been totally unfazed by our presence, by all the other stuff that is going on. and somehow, this little boy, amid the concentrated blast that killed so many people, he was just pushed out into the street where he's now sitting in the happy embrace of his father. and he has been a little stop. so i just wanted to show you and introduce you to the rockman. you. thank you very much. indeed, i want to take you to conferences being held by the united nations refugee agency as the us agency for the palestinians. philip, last. i mean,

he is currently giving that press conference in guys or let's listen and he is speaking in the translation has been given, an arabic and english is likable. ca, that a rips every few years, destroys everything around it, then quite down. this is how god feels to me, specially as i started my career here 30 years ago. i don't, i don't know about what doesn't mean i don't. how do you have the one that does that? as you know, i am once again reminded of the rule that on what plays in the life of policy and refugees. 14.4000000 people in gather, look at on the why as a source of predictable and quality education, health, and social services,

a source of stability in the other vice eventful lives. as my colleagues continue the emergency response, we must post to think of what next order, what do you what, what what what i can do a lot. i know you know, nothing about people want to go back to their homes. people want to feel safe. they want the children to go back to learning. they want to get the coffee 19 vaccine. the want job. and that's

a good, i don't know what, what is the owner of that? if he does the resources a strong own one is therefore in the interest of everyone or the yeah, i mean we have again, we launched an emergency in 2 days ago. and we are starting to see funds coming in to help those where most affected by the company. i didn't know what that was, what it was that i did. but what, but as seen, refugees in gaza really need is

a sense of normality. a source of hope was that you really know. i know you're really doing that. i will leave gazda with an urgent mission to ensure that the sense of normality and stability remains in the lives of protestant refugees through a strong on or whether they were him and. and i just thought i had no money. he means children can play big, go to school and parents have job. young people have dream, no money. he is living in peace and not having to constantly be afraid. afraid

of the next conflict at restoring a sense of no money. t is not enough. it is not the replacement for peace of the human rights of all. i do not. and yet i know that everything i had about him was that you have it on sunday. and when you walk in the coming period, i will remind the international community that the root causes of the conflict remain the occupation, the force displacement, of which we had a strong reminder in show, lately to blockade on the cycle of violence or remain cease

must be result yeah, i get, i was i had and i was not lead whenever you have a problem when i need, i know i'm frank, you and i live know the throw to in a thing, the mentor coordinator. and now this is comments made by philip designing the head of the un agency for palestinians speaking in the gaza,

were waiting for lin hastings of the you and to speak shortly. philip sony saying 1400000 people in gaza look to unwind the organization is called as a source of stability. i said people want to go back to their homes and want to feel safe for palestinian refugees and gaza. really need is a sense of normality and a sense of let's listen and to little hasty. speaking of the hostility, i meant that i'm the mother will not want to do that. i know i met with several families that have been deeply affected by this latest round of possibilities. a father who lost his wife and for 5 children. i witnessed the despair of displaced families whose homes have been completely

destroyed. many of the lot of my lease with several basic services that people rely on have also been destroyed or damaged. that includes a medical oratory that was being used for testing of co bid water. sanitation pipelines that have been damaged, threatening a brake hand of disease and the only primary health care center in the north, which has the very best rate of vaccination in all of is now damaged and unable to provide that service to the community. while all during a global pandemic american days, but not not the mobile home. the maintenance of the argument about that because

it is public level rob, rob, medical. i mean, i hear what he, what he meant to be sure he was who was gonna delete that island and now your cultural supplies warehouse has been destroyed and with it at least one season of crop threatening food security, creating a health and environmental hazard. i also visited one of the several damage schools that damage and further complicates for children access to education. again, on top of cobit related interruptions, well being that on the way home he's, most of them

are, that is not either way to get it off . i, if i wasn't one message i heard repeatedly is that the people of gas are traumatized. more than ever. girls, boys, women, and men. the intensity of the strikes were without pause. too many homes were lost and loved ones are gone. many people told me they feel helpless and even hope like they have no control over their lives. parents say they cannot reassure their children that this won't happen again. how can they, after so many wars? nuts will not be the one to get what you said. what

about what about how to do that and when i, when i did that in about another day of the time when i had a home that a father well we mourn the loss of people and we can not forget those who have also suffered in the west bank including east jerusalem, where violence has also escalated injuring thousands of people, bay to need our support. children and adults and israel have also been killed, injured, or traumatized by indiscriminate rock and attack the president. it intensity was even better than that. the new i'm going to be something

i do on that on the poverty and the guy you done yesterday. i'm up with you not find what he's done on the, on the bed. when he left, the humanitarian community is working hard to bring in essential items including madison and fuel. this week i will be releasing almost $18000000.00 from the palestinian humanitarian fund, and the emergency relief coordinator in new york will release an additional $4500000.00. this old to restore people have access to the very basic services such as health care and water like say, need more than what you had mentioned that you do love. and it was a lot of

your job is probably in that that, that the and the i c o v. and we will also be launching a flash appeal, which will help us to increase the support from the general donors and partners from all region which is essential, as unimpeded access of humanitarian personnel and provision to both and need. we all have to do our part when after the many nearly damaged, you know, i didn't just, either we have a number you can put on the field trip that have to have that theory. i'm sure many years my what was that in

the escalation has exasperated and already dire humanitarian situation and gather generated by nearly 14 years, the blockade internal, political divisions and recurrent facilities. we must also ensure support to continue addressing the needs that already existed before these escalations mother. and i thought it was because of the was a company for our support to be ultimately effective, we must exert every possible effort to ensure that this tragedy is not repeated.

the seed fire must be solidified with all avoiding provocation, these violating those violating international humanitarian law. must be held accountable, and there must be a political horizon with the root causes of continued conflict being addressed when i don't have my boss and then we'll have you set up the way i just stop you. lots and lots of not my year was offended that way and he bought when he didn't have it in sandy, it was if you are adding up, it has the potential of gas is immense. is economy monitored to be allowed to fully function as much open up and be reconnected to the rest of palestine including easter, as i reiterate, the secretary general's call, or israeli,

and palestinian leaders to revitalize theories, dialogue to achieve a job and laughing solution for all the people didn't want you to come after the public html based on the season, but i think i would think, i mean, i'm just other mean. yeah, i did the last show up and lastly, i would like to thank all of the humanitarian community that has been responding. b, n, g o, the front line workers, and of course, staff of the united nations. many of these people have put their own lives in danger while saving others. i want to thank them for their enduring commitment and sacrifices. well, what's going on with it, even with them and i'm and and i don't know any other way they can learn with the

header and i went ahead and set up a way of doing a home just took them in a roster while watching out there that is a press conference being given by lyn hastings, the un resident coordinator for the occupied palestinian territory. she was giving a list of examples at the start of her speech, of some of the experiences that people have been telling her about who had been suffering through the attacks in gaza over the last 11 days or so. she also spoke of the risk of d, from damage to the infrastructure, including the water supplies. she said the people of garza are traumatized more than ever. i'm paraphrasing here. she said many people said they were helpless and even hopeless that she also said that she would be releasing about $800000000.00 from a palestinian aide fund. and a further $4500000.00 would be released by the u. n coordinator in new york also to

go to aid in gaza and also in palestine and other palestinian occupied areas. she said they are, those of violating international humanitarian laws must be held accountable. a political solution she said, must be addressed ah, the city of goma and democratic republic of congo has been spared after the volcanic eruption nearby lava, so from mount and yet gone, gone, has stopped just outside the city. at least 8 people were killed and fashions were forced to flee their homes. and i'll just say this mark web is claimed that 910. he's joining us live now from nairobi in kenya. malcolm, this must be a tremendous relief to the people of goma. if indeed the lava appears to have stopped short of the city from imagine the level of destruction that is left so far

is significant. definitely looks like it's been a very near miss. as you said, you didn't decline very volcano a couple of years ago for a new story. it's just outside the city of goma takes a few hours to walk up to the top. you can go up that when he's not there up thing you can go up there with wildlife ranges from a nearby nature reserve. and at the top there is a crate that you can peer over the edge and see this orange lava lake down below. and you can feel the heat of it as he's done there. now, sometimes in the city of goma at night. if, if the weather is clear, you can see on the horizon this glowing orange, which is lava lake which is always simmering away. and then once in a while it does, it does a rough has just happened now. the last bigger option was almost 20 years ago. 2002, the vast river of lava cut all the way through the city of goma destroying ways of

killing more than 300 people. and then ending up in lake kiva. so that where that lava destroyed all those homes, buildings and everything else, it cooled down and it's 2nd, became the plane of very bubbly, spiky black rock on which people slowly and steadily rebuilt their homes. people even took picks and tittles to the volcanic rock and cut it up to make blocks or even houses in goma made from lava. what was lava volcanic rock? now the city is grown quite steadily quite fast since then. it's the nexus of the mineral trade for the region. it's certainly a place where there's quite a lot of money moving around the leather, a very few formal jobs. so that draws people in from the countryside. also, other people have displaced by groups. now that hasn't even been a census in congo for more than 30 years, but the estimate that now the city of government is about 2000000 people to end up with a situation where you have this ballooning city right at the foot of an active,

very dangerous volcano, but for people in goma, they have great worries in that day to day struck, thinking about the next, the russian. but it does lead to this very precarious situation. indeed this time thousands of people fled east through wanda. thousands of more fled west to sock a. most of them go out the way that we have from a local official that 3 people were burned in the lava. welcome, thanks very much, mark. and we're bringing us up to date from nairobi in kenya. well, the prominent iranian politician says the countries 3 months monitoring agreement with us, nuclear watchdog has expired. any and state news is reporting the parliamentary speaker said inspectors may no longer access images of nuclear sites. so let's go live to us. a big in tech run. just give us some more detail about what this actually means us well, this is, this comes down to a difference between the parliament, the politicians there who are position lawmakers and the government. now

legislation was passed by these opposition. lawmakers that said that they wanted to wanted to restrict i e, a inspectors and stopped recording that certain nuclear sites. not the time for the husband. honda to foreign minister, javan refill, oppose. this said that this is time to productive and those politicians should allow the diplomats to do their job. now what the government has managed to do was strike a 3 month temporary deal with the i. e. a. now what that meant was that those cameras were still record for 3 months, but if agreement was reached, that footage would be deleted and access to certain nuclear sites would be restricted. now, according to the opposition here, that deadline has now expired. we haven't heard much from the government government, but we have heard one report that suggests that that temporary deal with the i. e a could be extended to fort for another month. now this is a difference between the opposition and the government. the opposition have never been for the 2015 nuclear deal. they want to want to take

a stronger stance against the west. and the i a e, a west president has been wrong and he's government. well therefore, diplomacy, they're working away and they have me working away in vienna trying to reach an agreement and give to give diplomacy a chance that that's what this comes down to. so we're not sure what will happen next. but we have heard one report that temporary deadlines with the i could be extended for one month, but it doesn't mean that cooperation will end with a just means that the specific nuclear sites could be restricted for the i. e. a i said, thanks very much indeed. that had begun to run $21.00 people have died running a marathon in china after the race was hit by extreme weather and axial brian reports. they set off early on saturday for 100 kilometer ultramarathon and 172 runners crossing the stopped line and just t shirts and shorts for a track that winds its way through the mountainous yellow river stone forest and

china's northern gone soup province. but hours later, the temperature dropped and the race was hit by hail freezing, rain and high winds goes and in this incident is a public safety incident caused by sudden changes in weather in the local area. the provincial authorities have established an incident investigation team to further investigate its cause. the race was stopped after athletes went missing in the extreme weather and a search was launched. hundreds of rescuers tackled complex terrain, including narrow, high altitude paths, helped by thermal imaging, drones and radar to take this local media say some of the runners had fallen off the track and to deep mountain crevasses. temperatures plummeted further over night, making the search more difficult. so if i should go by phone, as the organizer of the event, we feel deeply guilty and blame ourselves and express our deep condolences to the

victims and their families. and the injured the. by early sunday, the rescuers had found all the missing runners, some injured, but also $21.00. it's backed public outrage. i've worked some c as a lack of proper planning, alexia brian al jazeera. and i want to take it back to that to you and press conference is being held in guys on the situation in gaza and elsewhere, less listening. we welcome the return of a long lasting strategy partner. we need to, in fact, the partnership of the united states. and i hope that through this reengaged moment, we will be supported to be more predictable. and again, back to what i said before, a stronger own right. because as known, only one is week. it will continue to be highly unsettling for the part it's in reference for the holes, for the staff. and we will continue to be

a source of instability highly. but i region one. we will go up under the law under the law and the data and all of that one doc is going on in the main concern, as you know, are very much related to issues on education, on neutrality, but also on the transparency regarding the use of resources and i can tell you that

over the last year on why has achieved a looked in terms of internal mechanisms. and when it comes to how teaching is certainly one of the only public cation space where the proper human ride curriculum is being taught to the kids. and we are certainly one of the on the schools in the region which promoted equal access to education for girls and voice a whole other than what i've been nominate and i'm not sure what i'm asking you. do you have

a 2nd on the new building? i answer the question before, i mean we are, we are having this press conference at, at the quarter, and you could see the damages when you enter into the building. damages caused, caused by a me side, having fallen into between the 2 of the headquarters. besides that, we had indeed the preschool which have also been damaged over the last 11 days. regarding civilian what i can tell you the number of own what keeps will have been killed 11 days plus the stories. i'm a hearing from what colleagues about the,

the killing of the relative killing a relative cooking, preparing the dinner, preparing a celebration to come later on. and we'll just, you know, within one second. no slice off . no, no. i mean, i got the back and i'm not going to have anything on my know why that a lot more, but she wants to know something about not one on the relation. ok. thank you. we're obviously still in the middle of assessing the damage,

but i do have some very, very preliminary numbers. so the caveat the current estimates are around 300 building, which translates into over 1000 actual housing that's been absolutely destroyed. and then of course, there are many hundreds that have been partially destroyed and probably are in habitable right now. there's been a total of 6 hospital, 11 primary health care centers that have been damaged and one hospital not functioning currently because of electricity. and then i meant for as i mentioned before. 3 there's a lot of issues with the foundation plants. so we've got 3 desalination plants that need to be picked as a matter of urgency workers are out there working around the clock, impacting about 400000 people who actually don't have access to appropriate

sewage treatment facilities. and about 800000 people who lack access to i wanted to see what. ready was done on it yet and was mobile. okay. when thank you very much. you have a question. i was wondering what your assessment of the difference with the damages for the war now, and it's really reconstruction or development which gives you a water gas tricity. so it's a real issue for, you know, maintenance forward

we have been trying to do a comparison between 2014 and now there are a number of different issues, obviously in terms of number of buildings. one thing that we do want to highlight is what i think i said before, which is the intensity of these of this period is gauged and reported to have been much, much more intense and stronger over the past these, these 10 days in, as opposed to 2014, sorry, want to get that at any one, la. hold on

a pop up. so what sentence translated into is a lot more of the trauma issues that both commissioner general and i had spoken about. but also just the intensity or the number of rockets that were coming over. i think that in the 1st several days we had already, we had estimated that we were already at 50 percent of what had been fired in 2014, which of course, i think last is 54 days. likewise, there were more error strikes coming in to guys as well. there are of course other issues that i would want to highlight in 2014. we had humanitarian pauses where people were able to get out. they were be able to go to the shops, they were able to feel safe. again, that really speaks to the amount of trauma that was experienced this time when there was absolutely no pause for people to breathe. secondly, there was no coordination actually usually in these types of circumstances in

places like yemen and syria, were able to coordinate with all parties to say we're going to be delivering humanitarian assistance tomorrow at 11 am in this area. please have a pod there tomorrow for 3 hours and that wasn't the case this year. where's it was in 2014 the whole us because he didn't know how did that the and said i thought, you know, that you know the getting enough time to, to jo. what if you come up with that. ready i don't,

i think that the german with anyone in any way i can buy a lot so that i can see what was what was that it wasn't even what any i don't know why they haven't had the

money for yes, you are right. the number of but as soon refugees will have seen the houses all damage all completely destroyed. as you know, the si fi isn't days since 48 hours. so rapid assessment will take place in the coming days and couple of weeks to assess the damage. but for the time being, we have a feel number of people in our school, the bulk of the, even, i've gone back to their place. but we still have hundreds of somebody in our school was say, because the houses i've been fully damaged,

we will assess. and most likely look at similar game than the one which where put in place previously. now we've been building and you live coverage of the united nations press conference, which is being held in gaza. just speaking was philip was in the head of the year, an agency for palestinians earlier on. he said that they were looking forward to the partnership of the united states and as part of the rebuilding process, he said a strong on right, which is the acronym for the palestinian agency, the you and i strong on what is needed. but we also heard from lynn hastings, she's the un resident coordinator for the occupied palestinian territory. she was giving some early estimates for some of the damage. you said 300 buildings had been damaged. one size and actual house is not that translated into 6 hospitals. 11 primary health care facilities and the loss of use of

a dissemination plans. there were lots of problems with those that were 3 that she said need to be fixed. 800000 people now lacked access to pipe water. now the former chief advisor to the u. k. prime minister has posted a series of tweets, criticizing the government handling of the cobra, 1900 pandemic. dominic cummings is accused borrows johnson's government of incompetence and lying to the public about its herd immunity strategy is coming just days before the set to testify before the parliamentary committee about the government handling of the crisis. cummings had been ousted from dining street last year amid rumors of a rift with bothers johnson. well, kevin craig is ceo of political, loving, and media relations. it's a political communications agency, and he's joining us from london by skype. it's good to have you with us. how much credibility is given to statements by donate cummins cummings,

given the circumstances under which he left the government employ well wrong. it's a great question because many people will be asking why he's speaking out. why is he doing this now? when the british government has said already, there will be a full inquiry into the pandemic. but i just want to reflect it is i highly unusual situation to have the former, the guy who was the most important advisor to the british prime minister now. and the roading around the top level of british politics coming out with unprecedented criticism of this minor. and in fact dominant coming himself, if potentially more damaging to the british prime minister now than the official political opposition. and when he says things, when he calls out the current government and bars, johnson, when he implies they're incompetent when he says that the people were lying about the strategy with regard to coby is very, very serious, very damaging. and despite the fact that the current prime minister or johnson has

very good leads in the opinion, polls an atc, the majority in the british parliament, miss guy who is totally unpredictable. dominant. cummings is the biggest threat that always jumps in a space since taking office. let me ask you about why this is happening now, because if i understand correctly, of course, there have been calls for an inquiry into the government handling of the coven crisis, forest johnson. i believe i said that there will be one, but it probably won't be held until after the next election. what is the process here? why is this happening on? well, the actual reality is that the boys johnson set his time table for the efficient inquiry. but dominic cummings is a man, i agree, i agree that he was the, the guy we must not forget, dominic cummings, if the guy who presented a plan to boris johnson about how we could become prime minister about how the

campaign to take britain out. the european union could be one boris johnson dominant cummings, he's very job. and so now when don't at cummings opens his mouth and it's got things to say. british politics listens the system of select committees that we have in the u. k, which was set up by the before the prime minister is covered for margaret thatcher . it's a very effective way of politicians holding the government to account, especially when there is this large h u. c. majority i talked about and it's happening now because dominant cummings is a nightmare for a prime minister. he was the guy in the room where the big decisions, what happened, and he's angry and he doesn't care now how much trouble it causes it's for my boss . kevin crick is good to get your thoughts on this, and we appreciate you joining us and i'll just 0. thank you very much indeed. pleasure. up. while the philippines is marking for years since a large scale military operation against an armed group, the battle of natalie,

so government forces fight. i still affiliated rebels for more than 5 months. the government says reconstruction projects in the city our own channel. the critics say much more can be done. and building reports from manila on me. 2327. seen a group of around $200.00 on the pledge allegiance to the on group. i saw lead siege to the city of macau, we in the southern philippines and raised the group black flag over several government facilities. thousands of civilians were held hostage and the philippine military launched and all not offensive to free them. 5 months later, the battle was over. but we was by now the most devastated city in the philippines since world war 2 more than a 1000 people were killed and millions more displeased. the president, the legal detective promised the city would be rebuilt. but 4 years later,

many men and now feel they have been forgotten. there is still a search for missing loved ones, and hundreds of bodies buried in haste. during the conflict, we mean identified reconstruction efforts in the city are slow and thousands of people are still unable to go home insights golf, a non governmental organization focused on mapping, we're always recovery, says it is hard to fully assess the real cost of the 5 months of war, all you had wanted to, or urban city destroyed is this like p c meeting being bound to be it's not acceptable. and that the priority has to be helping people go home. security remains a problem too. according to international alerts which monitors conflicts. glenn warns, are making a come back in list a drug use is rising to while i'm groups continue to recruit young men,

even in areas where conflicts have ended. well, we just interviewed about to the sensor in the these live up and said that, you know, if you about the course by the extra miss groups, the using the, the delay, the reconstruction of what are we as a rallying point to try and stop frustration of the task force formed by that it's there to ministration admits. there have been challenges including the cobra, 1900 pandemic, and the economic recession, which of course delays to the reconstruction of them. and it says it remains committed to getting mad. are we back to a thriving and vibrant to see what critics say so much time has been squandered by a government that was once given, sweeping powers to implement reforms across the line or province. while survivors say there is nothing to commemorate because another year equates to another layer of hardship, for most of them were left to fend for themselves. jim l as in dog and i'll do 0.

manila richardson out in is a manila based academic and author is joining us live by skype. good to have you with us. why is it taking so long for the rebuilding process to happen in this area, which apparently was devastated by about 95 percent while based on my visit to megan donna, just before the pandemic and murali. my understanding is that on one hand are stricken regulatory and legal issues. for instance, of the houses that destroyed in the heart of morale. we are, you know, there are issues about the ownership because you know, you have a community based occupation coming based residency. there are, and we, when we talk to folks who are refugees and wanted to go back, they wanted to see some clarity on the aspect of the, the legal aspect. you know, who owns what? because, you know, we're talking about people who own certain compounds as a community and in groups. so there's a regulatory and legally should there. but clearly there's also

a lack of political commitment on the part of the territory administration. you know, president deterred the promise after the so called liberation of the city after 5 months of pounding to city and in the, in a way to, to defeat the terrorist groups and malice groups. you know, he promised to make morale, we, you know, pitiful again. and yet he never came back. he never, it came back in, you know, the people that he placed in charge for the reconstruction of my we, my understanding is that people on the ground are saying that is that people are fully committed or not capable enough to deal with this. and there were a number of efforts to bring an international committee and investments from around the world, including from china to get the reconstruction going. but that meant a lot of problems and stumbling blocks, including the fact that many were saying there was not enough consultation with people on the ground. so now you have the world bank coming it trying to create a trust fund to bring in investments. but you know, we have lost a lot of time and we depend demik creating almost a 10 person contraction in the philippine g, d p and deter it to entering. it's,

you know, it's twilight during the office. there's a war that wants to turn the steps down next year. it's really not sure whether we do would be sufficient support in political commitment even by due to the standards, to the reconstruction of morale. when let's not forget, this is also coinciding with a very important he started political transition, which is the creation of a band some more opponent with regents. muslim india now and that political end didn't needs support. it can get from the government. but it's also not clear whether the president deterred that will certify and new legislation to get 3 more years after 2022 of government assistance. so that this new entity can get consolidated, suddenly so much uncertainty. and our fear is that this is just the law before the store. let me ask him about when we, when we didn't manage report there about the concerns and certainly monks, local people. but also amongst agencies that there may be a resurgence of on groups in the area and the lack of action by the government may be encouraging that. what do you think the risk is that if things don't improve

quickly on anytime soon, we're going to be facing the same situation we did a few years ago. yeah, i mean there are a number of things happening here. first of all, the philippines has been trying to transition its national security doctrine. i mean, for 40 years, the philippines has been bogged down with domestic insurgencies. but now it's facing new threats in the south china sea, china assertiveness. it's trying to ship, it's national security buckling towards external threats towards navy towards air force. so the transition has, is supposed to happen. but the problem is that the enabling conditions for domestic insurgency, both companies and islamists are still there. and they're also serious problems with the demobilization and disarming of former members of the m i l, f. and if you're, if you're seeing that piece brought this not going to offer because unfortunately the time that we use against us. but for now, thanks very much indeed. pleasure. now peter w is going to be here in a couple of minutes with more than all these stories, including an update of course,

on the situation in the gaza strip. i'm robots and thanks very much indeed for being with me. good bye for now. i news. news. news. news seems a promising passed out of the sun demik, but implementing the greatest inoculation in history is testing the global community around the world. already a clear gap has emerged between rich nations and poor ones when it comes to vaccinating their populations from the geo politics to the pure economics. the misinformation, the latest developments, what's going on here is very different for

a stop. the back thing comes in the form of a nasal spray, especially coverage of the colona virus pandemic on a jessina frank assessments that the government in 11 exactly have. and what made of that taking situation like not to get informed opinions, is the us with thinking military positioning in the middle east was. it's just a simple act of reorganizing military assets. this is a message to the region that the united states is rethinking its military foster in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on our jazeera, black and brown immigrant women at the mercy of the private prison corporation for blinds investigate allegations of medical abuse of women held it a privately run immigration detention facility in rural georgia. you still don't know what happened here saying that you don't have a chance to read everything. an ordeal exposed by a nurse turned whistle the our below the whistler 1000 times over. if i had no
