1:03 pm
slept inside for the last night, a lot of them a cooking outside here now, but they're not much food to cook. they say they've been desperate short of food and other supplies since they arrived here. some of them had their homes destroyed others and had to make difficult decisions on leaving because if they do abandoned their homes, what's been happening, the people with speaking to say that they get looted. so some chose to stay behind the flag following the evacuation order to try and find safety that we spoke, some of the people in going to be affected by the let's take a look at that story. people have lost everything salvage what they can from the pile of smouldering hot rocks. a few days ago, this was a river of lava. it came, gushing out his mountain. you are gone. days africa's most active volcano into the city of goma, in the democratic republic of congo. no, this is the largest samuel kimberly's neighbourhood is gone. his house caught fire
1:04 pm
before it was engulfed. all that is left the charred remains of a tree. he once planted to mark his land level cargo. my c volcano was lighting up . it was a panic, almost everywhere. so i took my family, put them on my motorbike and sent them into town. i stayed behind to keep an eye on the situation. stacy, people, we spoke to who evacuated early, say their houses were looted. that's why some stayed to protect homes and livelihood until the last minute. not everyone got away in time. no hendo bon yanni. nicholas has been missing since the erection. he used to tre groceries on the street from a stall, just like this one is a young man in his early twenties, his family put up, the post is around the neighborhood, lifted home just down here and their fear is that he was engulfed by the river of lava, when it came crashing through the city. and now it's turned into
1:05 pm
a pile of sharp heavy rocks. it seems the chances of finding him now, a slim says the initial abrupt and new earth tremors started. and they just haven't stopped attleboro hendo and his team of vulcan ologist have been monitoring them. he's barely slept for the last week. tremors came before the pastor options. they're trying to work out why this time. they started after villa me when i call my son too late at night we started feeling the strong ones on the day of the robson. there was no sign of trimmers, nobody filters. it was that nice in the following day when people started feeling those earthquakes, nobody knows if that means another option is coming. so parts of the city have been declared a red zone. more than 400000 people have fled to other towns. many of them, the sleeping rough couple we left as the authorities told us to when we arrived.
1:06 pm
the 1st problem was no food and no water. so we decided to come back. then we found that everything had been stolen from our house. so we agreed to stay in this reads, and whatever will happen, we prefer to die here instead of going somewhere else. the province has been under the control of a military governor for the past 3 weeks because of ongoing conflict with armed groups in the countryside. the army has said, help is on its way to the displace people swathes of the countryside. and parts of the city have been devastated. nobody knows if it's over yet or not. and to add to concerns malcolm, i understand there are cases of cholera that have been confirmed in the area where you are the local administrator for the district announce. 3 just to show a while ago that they found a cases of cholera 6 here in the town, a sock, a 2 in another town. and it's certainly nice surprise if you look at the, the conditions in decided stations just one. busy water point, which is over there,
1:07 pm
have been used since we've been a, by hundreds of people, they've been keeping up with the yellow plastic containers to collect water. we say need for cooking and for drinking. the latrines that belong to the local community living around here are completely inadequate for this massive influx of people just turned off in the last few days. a lot of the locals have locked their latrine to try to protect themselves in their own sanitation. and so is definitely not a, not a safe situation for, for other people living in the staying here who flat. and that's why somebody will be decided to actually go back to go math and take that chance is that, but something else it really doesn't help is a lack of clear information. there's a lot of confusion about what's getting on the treadmill. mean it's insistence coming here or not. when is it coming out? one woman said to me, congo, help is slow. she said, and indeed he has taken very long for these people to get any help. indeed, they're still waiting up until now malcolm. thank you very much. for that updates
1:08 pm
malcolm web been back in the east of the democratic republic of congo. let's now speak to trisha barry, who's the emergency programs director of the humanitarian aid. mercy cor. she joins is from connie in neighboring, wanda tricia. very good to have you with us as you heard there from a correspondence concerns about a 2nd volcanic eruption in go my concerns about waterborne diseases. what is, 1st of all, the humanitarian situation, as you know, it's right now what are your teams on the ground? tony yes, thanks for having me. so we know of course that about 400000 people evacuated. go my very early thursday morning following the government's evacuation orders for 10 neighborhoods in my city. the vast majority went westward to sack a town, which unfortunately was already experiencing a cholera outbreak at the time. and as your 1st bonnet mentioned, really does not have adequate water and sanitation facilities for people. people
1:09 pm
fled with little to no possessions. food prices are skyrocketing at the moment, so quite just, yeah. people are a desperate standing outside. yeah. you broke up there for a 2nd. let me just pick up what on what you're saying. a desperate we seen also people flee across the border into wonder where you are. what sort of assistance have a the receiving in or want to for the moment there is no official assistance as far as we know and evacuation order has not been there. so people are using whatever they brought with them, whatever money they had with them to take care of themselves on the side of the border. and what about in goal mind the surrounding areas? is there any help getting to the people who fled their homes? yes, there are a number of human he's able to start providing emergency water supplies
1:10 pm
that the situation is extremely fluid. busy it's they, some people are moving back to goma as you heard earlier, and so we're moving for them as a difficult tracking if people are going and where those water and sanitation service are most expensive situation, changing our or predictable situation, which is changing constantly. thank you. trisha barry for talking to us about this and apologies to our viewers for the poor us cod connection. they tricia barry joining us from kick ali on to other world news now. and as a scramble of political deal making underway in israel after 4 elections in 2, he is the final deadline is coming up on wednesday just for me correlation government, right wing politician natalie bennett, is in talk to the central party leader. if he succeeds, he could replace prime minister benjamin next, now was also making last minute more to hold on to power and speak to hurry for the city in west jerusalem for. so harry, all kinds of praise happening ahead of wednesday's deadline to form this government
1:11 pm
bring us up to speed with the latest maneuvers. that's right. a scramble. it really is. let's give you the cost of characters because we all know who benjamin netanyahu is, but we also need to factor in the activities of the main opposition leader. you paid the right wing politician natalie bennett, who looks in prime position to go 1st in some kind of rotational deal on either side of the divide. and there is another right wing who used to be a loop could party member benjamin netanyahu get on saw who launched his own right wing party with the express purpose of ousting netanyahu in the last election. so the various moving parts are we have la p, the opposition, nita and bennett in talks to form a change government, a coalition, a very broad one, spanning from pretty far right to the left,
1:12 pm
which would require the support from the outside. almost certainly of one of the palestinian israeli parties, probably that of months or of us. the so called united arab list, that is what has been in the works during the period, which the pete has officially to try to form a government. bennett has face some internal opposition over that, but he is also talked about the need to avoid a 5th round of elections. so this very serious last minute talks going on on this front with bennett set to present this proposal to his own party members, has obviously very heavily spooked netanyahu. who's now saying, okay, come back to me. natalie bennett, in a right wing coalition government in which you and i will share the prime minister ship, and you as well get on saw this other right wing a who is really made his whole new party launch about replacing the yahoo said all of us all 3 of us can share the prime minister shipping a triple rotation deal,
1:13 pm
and he's put this offer in writing. so far good on saw has said that he is re acting, that he's not going to give up the principal or trying to replace benjamin netanyahu just for the sake of forming a right wing coalition to avoid what that says would be a disastrous left wing government. propped up by this other right wing bennett, there is a source quoted in one of the news agencies in bennett's party saying that they would support such a 3 way deal if it were to prove possible. this does seem a last minute desperate ploy by netanyahu. there are all sorts of reasons why it work. not least, the very public rejection by this other right wing. a star seems more likely that the, the change block will try and come up with some kind of announcement either tonight or potentially tomorrow. but even then, even if they make that announcement, there are all sorts of other things that they need to get in place. in order to finally replace benjamin netanyahu. but it is clear that nothing goes in very
1:14 pm
serious trouble. and he's really grambling to try and stay in power and desperate. i was going to say that it seems like his desperate harry to hang on to power. yes. and there are also 2 reasons why he is under. he is under an ongoing corruption trial in 3 separate cases. that is one key reason that he's been very keen to stay in power. no matter what. because from that position a he has that status and the prime minister's office very different fighting a trial from there than it would be just as a normal, normal citizen, even a member of these are the parliament that connects it also if he manages to stay in power and get the kind of majority that he wants to to, to get some time in the future. then that allows him, potentially to change legislation, try to gain some kind of immunity from prosecution. however, there are those, even within his own party, being quoted as saying,
1:15 pm
well this is his main project and if only he would step aside then a right wing government could be formed. the kind that he says he's either logically committed to. so it's his status in office, which remains as it has throughout this for election 2 years cycle, the main stumbling block to sort of getting some stability back. however, as far as he's concerned, his interests and the country's interest are pretty much one of the same. he is saying that this left when government, that what i mean in most times the central government but netanyahu's terms, leslie government, if that were able to be formed with the sort of unwitting useful idiocy in terms of natalie bennett, this right wing a further to the right, of not popping it up, that would be a major threat to the state of israel, and obviously it's a major threat to netanyahu as well. henry, thank you for that. harry faucets live in western as last morehead on this al

jazeera news hour, including the 10s of thousands protests mclawrence, brazil calling on their president to resign for his handling of the pen. demik and boarding on the streets of west london. chelsea found celebrate their european victory. you'll have the details. i australian prime minister scott morrison has arrived in new zealand on a very silver c strip since the band began is meeting new zealand prime minister, adjusting the arden in queenstown. the last time they met was in february, last year, a long time allies are expected to discuss their approach to relations with china as well as australia, deportation policies, which he says is fortunately affected when he has more from toronto in using code 19 will of course dominate this visit by australian prime minister scott
1:17 pm
morrison to new zealand when he will meet with his counterpart, jacinta and the to lead is very proud of the trans tasman quarantine free travel bubble that is up and running between the 2 countries. although a new outbreak in the australian state of victoria meant that scott morrison and his entourage had to have pre departure cove at 19 tests. the venue is also very symbolic. the tourist hotspot of queenstown, very eager to attract as many australian tourists as possible for the upcoming winter ski season away from coven 19. though there are many other serious issues to discuss. and some tensions between the 2 countries. the main one being relations between australia and new zealand and china, australia is locked in a trade dispute with beijing. and his accused new zealand of not being tough and are fond of being too soft on china when it comes to issues like human rights and security. alicia, that new zealand is favoring its own trade relationship with china. instead of
1:18 pm
backing its traditional security and intelligence sharing allies like australia and the united states, but in a late move that will probably ease tensions between australia and new zealand. new zealand has decided to beg, can breath in its dispute at the world trade organization over 80 percent tariffs that china placed on imports of australian bali. now that move was seen as retaliation for australia's backing all the coal for an international inquiry into the origins of the coven, 19 pandemic, or both countries. i've taken a different approach in their dealings with china. australia's relations have deteriorated with high level economic talks with beijing now suspended indefinitely . australia was a major voice in pushing for an independent investigation into the origins of the corona. virus pandemic. china hit back with terry's on australian imports. australia then suspended large investment deals and blocked chinese firms from
1:19 pm
involvement in his 5 g projects. but new zealand has become more reluctant to challenge beijing and opted out of a joint statement with western allies condemning a crime down on civil liberties in hong kong. china is new zealand biggest trading partner and it has expanded trade deals with aging as australia is relations continue to decline that speak to me about this item is the director of the china policy center, which is an australian base thing. conky joins us from leap fake in germany. good to have you on the news, our atom. so the changing dynamics with china, no doubt, a big topic of discussion as a leader street in new zealand. mead ave, on the same page when it comes to aging, or the clear divisions on, on how to manage relations with china. well, think about the similarities and divisions. many folks in both country recognize the subsidy and the balancing act that requires navigate their respective relationship with china. i think the difference is that for stella to divide these
1:20 pm
fall acrimonious, then the new zealand return and debate that is showing government has adopted a much more hotline approach than the new zealand government has adopted so far. wellington has really what the fall line trying to balance human rights concerned with economic interest. in essence, new zealand doesn't really want to end up way. australia has enough in a spot where has been economically punished by, by china. right. as you see, a fairly, as relationship with china in particular has, has deteriorated significantly in recent months. australia has been more outspoken, but new zealand. we've also seen in recent weeks the zealand become more vocal in recent times. can either of these countries, so a 4 to break off time with beijing show. i mean, you know, we have this idea that new zealand has has be soft on china, but in fact, newland government has spoken out against human rights abuses,
1:21 pm
expresses concerns in hong kong and asia. john, for example. it's just that it's chosen a different approach to do. so australia, for example, has done it in the context of the 5 by intelligence alliance with u. k, a u. s. u k. canada way as a way as for new zealand has off the out of these joint statements and he has, he should in separate statements of consent. right. so for that it's, it's a bit of criticism from australian us. politicians accommodate is in particular. but when you, when you zealand, the misgiving is that it may be seeing that kind of solidarity or choice statement of but it might be seen as gaining upon china. right. politicizing humor. so what we'll give and in order to improve the relationship, what would be specific on in countries moving forward? well, i think, i think with, with, with the show and trying relationship,
1:22 pm
i don't see a improvement in the near future. the to a lot ng a come home. yes. better at the moment. there's a lot of fiction in different areas, the relationship and i think there's a lot of domestic pressure pushing both countries towards continue fiction. whereas for new zealand, angela has a different approach. it doesn't want to end up with a shell has not been i think paging may being pined to differentiate between between charlotte and human. and just to show that you know that there is how it matters how you manage the relationship. the different approaches that you adopt. adam, me. thank you very much for talking to us about this. thank you for your insight. no worries. west african leaders are expected to meet in ghana later sunday to discuss the political crisis in molly, the colonel behind

1:24 pm
a special advisor says this would destabilize an already fragile state possible. so they could, we are landlocked country sanctions. you would have a devastating impact. we would start living in basic necessities and if we would have problems in cash flow and be unable to pay our army. to appease widespread combination over the military gentle dismissal of the civilian president and prime minister, the new head of state curled gota has asked for the opposition and 5 civil society movement to choose. and new prime minister shall go. miger is their candidate lead calendar. we need to create a patriotic union to save molly a union to rebuild a country for the money and people. despite the turmoil and threats from armed groups, multinational gold mining companies have founded operation in molly, over the last decade, molly is africa's 4th largest exporter of gold. so much on time potential because
1:25 pm
of the crisis from gold to oil, to manganese. all of it is in the north, but the lack of a stable state has allowed rampant corruption. while it has left many politicians and businessmen rich, most melons have grown up in poverty, seeing the countries natural wealth and their se over it slipped away. and let's get an update from nicholas in bama co. so nicholas, molly's new strong man is meeting with african leaders in ghana today. how's he likely to be received and, and what is he going to hope to get out of this meeting? well, you know, he's 1st of all he left for the cap for some of the gun, a capital outcry yesterday, and he's going to go there for it to pass things up with the mediation team that was in the capital by my call earlier on. remember the former president, good luck. good luck, jonathan. the former president of nigeria, and she could go sheet or left the capital furious because you were shunned by me
1:26 pm
going when he tried to meet him and that there were no real concessions made from us to be going up towards the, the west african delegation. so that's one of the things that, that's going to happen. but during the course of the week, he's been on the, on the phone, especially with the president of guinea, else i can day with the president of our records. what are their needs as we get so several heads of state to try to, to, to convince them not to put sanctions in place. now they're all divided in terms of what they want to do. i mean from the i bore inside there's much more of a pressure to put sanctions in place from, from the president of guinea the, there's a sense. a that, you know, if you removed me going, who would the international community be able to speak to? it's already a fragile state. the idea here is to try to rebuild democracy in the country, not just the, stabilize it further. so there's a raft of measures that could be put in place from targeted sanctions against the
1:27 pm
military june that you freezing the assets of the country in preventing cross border transactions. so that's what is going to be on the table during the meeting in holly this latest school triggered of course, condemnation and diplomatic uproar. i was going to ask you about, you know, the sort of action that we can expect from west african leaders there. but as, as you said, there's division as to what to to, to do as far as molly is concerned. tell us about the situation within molly's south. how people receiving this new governor. the hopefully in the reaction so far has been quite new to didn't. you have to remember that there's been a series of cruising in molly's history and so it's very much weight and the and was there a political, rambling, and then unstable government and barcode. there still are arm groups in the north, better threatening the government and they're not able to come to the capital.
1:28 pm
thanks to the presence of us troops, the biggest, the most expensive you went operation. but also, most importantly, the presence of the french troops on the ground and president, my point in an interview in the french newspaper, was very clear that if he saw a government in, by my code that steered away from democratic transition, that would even further be allied to what quote, unquote me call the radical islamic group. then the french troops would lead molly so that there is also the looming threat of insecurity of a viable partner that the molly and realty would lose. if i see me go, it doesn't respect the terms and conditions also set by the west african body eco law. bobby, thank you for that. nicholas hi, live in by mccomb. ahead on the news our edible infect. you give the go ahead to phrase dried yellow meal warm on the menu as a protein and the milwaukee box on their way to the next round of the n b a.
