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. first start, the vaccine comes in the form of a nasal spray. special coverage of the corona virus pandemic. on a jessina. ah, this is al jazeera, ah, hello there, i'm still here. hey, this is the new that live from our headquarters here in durham, coming up in the next 60 minutes. an admission of air strikes, but ethiopia as military denies, hitting a busy market in t great. reportedly killing dozens of people cause a border dispute between 2 don and a 2 year. we talked to people who say the fighting is affecting their livelihood.

he wanted to be remembered as amount of the people told the philippines president banana. aquino dies age 61 and renewing coal for political change. ty protests as back on the street a 6 month break because of course, 19 above. he did send it to the source. the last 16 teams are the side of the euros . and portugal 1500 elder national go for, for 189. go for the country. ah, now if you will be, as defense, ministry has denied one of its as drugs. his a busy market in the northern te gray region. but it does admit attacking t great regional fighters in that area. dozens of civilians were reported. be killed in that strike in the village of to go go on tuesday. the united states has condemned the calling it

a reprehensible act. this all comes during some of the most intense fighting since the conflict between the army and t regional forces began back in november, while the un has also expressed deep alarm at the reports of violence and that it's pushing for access to the region. some of the most critically wounded people from what we gather, were evacuated by ambulances last night. and this morning we have requested access to the area to assist to assess the situation and see how we can, how we can provide assistance. but so far we've not been able to, the situation in the air remains very, very volatile. it's important that everyone engaged in fighting do their most to protect civilians to obey international humanitarian law. well let me try corresponding 100 or he joins us now from the european capital, addis ababa? not that i know us has been while the quiet about what's been happening and t grade,

but they did give a military briefing, i believe this morning and they're saying no civilian casualties. yes indeed. and bob is the official line coming from europe in defense headquarters . they say the cut about the as like in the tunnel to go, but they didn't talk the marketplace, nor did they target civilians. they say they talked a ceremony, which was attended by many fighters from the great defense for us will mocking or kimmel murray to the muslims, which happened in 1988, which was cut out by the dead. could give them a guess to great rebels. and he said that they had the intelligence, so they cut it all, bob, talk on the ceremony. but when we pressed him on, the asked him who killed both children, but we have some of their limbs missing and had met their way to the panel of the city of mckellar. he simply said,

that is propaganda went on to say that that the grand forces while very well bust him faking injuries. and on that, i know there was have been reports that the 2 grand defense forces had actually been making gains and that the european army has had to retreat, that they talk about that at all. what else? he talked about that and he said it was more of a strategic with the role by if you can defend forces from some of these areas. because he said there was what going on to repair some of the infrastructure that had been destroyed during the war last november. you talked of communication that meant the building of politicians as well as roads that was going on. and also he said that if you're up in different forces, had withdrawn from this area to give from us the confidence to go to their fields

and learn to given the problems that are some of humanitarian problems, like the as provision people are facing. the said, the grand defense forces took advantage of a bus to cut out their own lot against europe and defense forces. but we're also getting some reports to the degree and forces have captured the as part of our degree, which is about 40 kilometers away from at a trail. of course, they see at a trail as a legitimate target because it's well that had a big, if you have a defense force of them, they'll fight against the graeme rebels. and that puts them picking it up, put them within a liking distance. of course, the government here is denying that they have taken the territory whatsoever. not that for us with all the native lines out of us that thanks so much my well let's now bring in alex deval. he is the executive director of the world peace foundation

and has been extensively about famine in africa. he joins us now from london. alex's situation and t great seems to be deteriorating so rapidly and there's so little access to work out exactly what's going on. so i want to focus on how people on the ground actually coping. i know the u. n. a saying 350000 people in our living and famine conditions, but they've stopped short of declaring famine more broadly. why this ambivalence and how useful is the time anyway? the reality on the ground indisputably is, is that famine exists. the government wants to deny that just a few days ago, communist be hummed and hard and said yes, that might be hunger and to grow. but we can deal with it. the reality is, the government of ethiopia, the government of our trap, between them been trying systematically to start to grow into submission. and that is what is created the family and they appear determined to continue with that policy. alex,

we know that there have been multiple documented abuses by the era trans you, by all accounts is still there despite the ethiopian insistence and that they are leaving. i'm curious in your mind all eritrea and troops using starvation as a weapon of war and how are they doing that. they are doing that in the, in the areas that they control which are becoming more limited. and they're doing it by preventing humanitarian access by destroying cross, by preventing farmers from plowing by eating everything. but i have to say that the, that the principal dynamic of this in, at the moment is the astonishing stunning military victory. a particular defense force. because of the facts which have been now, i think indisputable is but almost half the military capability of the field on integration was destroyed or captured in the last week by the to brian. so what the european thought to call

a strategic will withdraw is more in the way all around. we are facing a, a, a new reality on the ground which will require a very serious rethinking of the humanitarian access strategy. while speaking all the access, i know that aid organizations have been really struggling with access and some really patchy and many of said they're worried about losing what little access they have if they actually speak out. so where do we go from here? you can actually step in now will be over a week ago, the 2 grand defense forces control the population of pass a 1000000 and a half. now they control perhaps twice that. and the big challenge, the big challenge is going to be how to get access to those areas. now, should they continue, they're involved as could, should they continue to capture major cities and apples? we will face the challenge of how international aid can be flown into those area

and well, with the c o p, an air force continues. it's reprisals which will be can carry down some as we've already seen by aerial bombardment. the, the challenge will be who control the scots will be feel kins, commit international aids, flights in 2 areas controlled by the to ride the horses, that speed the immediate policy dilemma that they to humanitarian agencies, victim to face in the coming days. also let me ask you then alex, how cold t gray was really one of the epa centers of that famine back in the 1980s that so many people remember there is defining images of ethiopia at the time. and that appeared to be what was really the thing that galvanized action. how soon do you think we're going to see images like that? again, we will see images like that as soon as journalists can get him. this is a famine and indeed a war that has been unfolding with, with almost no access from journals. so we haven't seen the battle. we

haven't seen this type of action. but the facts on the ground as they change the effect can army, is for students or retreat as it is possible for journalists to, to go into the areas of control bar to grow defense courses. we're going to see if they're printed very, very disturbing picture that i hope will galvanized international humanitarian action on the scale that is needed. and there is alex deval that the executive director of the wild piece foundation. thanks for your time. and thanks for joining us out there, alex, very well, just across the border ensued on people reporting increased attacks by armed groups . their alpha saga is a 3000 square kilometer region effect. land that's claimed by both to dawn. and the theory has been fighting in recent months, and there are also reports of civilian abductions. and that casualty is also on the rise of morgan reports from gal about on the suit on. if you're,

if you're border for more than 15 years selling wood has been met, the fierce source of income. he gets it from the forests inc and above, incidentally bought estates near the eastern border with if you appeal. but he says, fighting near the border in recent months, has affected his livelihood. to get the guns, i wanted to let them for i and 2 others who were farmers were abducted by ethiopian militiaman who cross the border. they demanded ransom from the village residents. while they held us, they kept saying that it is because of the border dispute between sudan and that they are launching attacks. i'm on to make us move far from the border. the ransom was paid and now i don't venture far out for fear of my safety. the village is one of several inca body that lie along the border area. it's also an area where you don't need people work to cross and come to trade and earn a living. but the use of movement here has led to fear. dozens of people here have reported being abducted by you can militia for ransom. since the start of the year,

part of the reason for the instability along the sudan if you're p a border is a lack of clearly defined boundaries in most areas. this issue has led to not only the abduction and killings of civilians in border villages, but also fighting between the 2 sides in the past. mom. in november, last year for dance, military moved to take over a freak out, 3000 square kilometer area in the state known as chicago to then clean under a colonial agreement, seating back to 1900 or 2, but ethnic, i'm her promise from that they've been finding it for 50 years and it belongs to them. the dispute has resulted in the loss of lives on both sides as talk to the market. the border stalled to dance. army says it's working to keep civilians safe, not to walk, you know, and forces spread throughout the eastern region and a capable of protecting civilians. there are safe signs with marks. the civilians to be in and to farm and continue with their livelihoods. but the areas that a danger zone should be avoided to avoid abductions by raiders from the other side

. if you p s as border talks, one to resume unless to dance army retreats from sugar. the violence has led to the repeated closure of the official border crossing those who cross from the that affects their economy as well. or their number. i bring goods to gal about and take other goods to sell back home. the insecurity affects us citizens because we're just simple people. what happens at a political or military level affects everyone on both sides. but those on top, i don't experience what we do. back in the village. he says he hopes the border disputes between the data. if yoga is resolved soon, if it isn't, he may have to find another way to support his family. he will morgan august era than that, but the body of state, while join a foreigner, is the deputy director of the one of africa ad international crisis group. he says both countries will have to make concessions if they hope to reach a peaceful agreement here. certainly if you will want to see the sudanese move

themselves from the question before they engage in any real negotiations. sudan for its part wants to see if you've been recognition of its sovereignty over that area, which they claim is guaranteed by a $19.00 oh, $2.00 agreement. ideally, we do return to a sort of soft border arrangement that allowed apparently free movement across that border land. a course that frontier between sedan and g o. p that allowed if you can farmers to, to, to farm in that land pursuing these traitors to sell their crops and other trades into ethiopia. so we'd like to return to some kind of status quo, but unfortunately, the increased tension means that we'll have to take further steps to make sure that that conflict does not expand. certainly people on the ground are highly affected by the sudanese on the ground who had been most displeased by what they saw as if you'll be in incursions on an a solicitation of ownership of the last couple months

of infrastructure for if you're farming. what is incredibly rich and fertile agricultural land is very important because, you know, this is a key component of both the local and national economy in, if there were very cash crops that are, that are farm there, sesame and then sorghum and so on. and so both nationally and locally, the economies on both sides of the border are kind of rely on. so being able to access the slides actually utilize it in an equitable fashion. i still tend more heads here. this needs are including the love by said the apple, hong kong pro democracy newspaper printed it's final edition where on the front lines of the battle to win hop in northern iraq, security for to try to reach out the remaining eiffel fight and, and, and so the host nation that the corporate america was nowhere near as easy as they

would align. people exclaim, ah, now the former president of the philippines, but he knew keener has died of renal failure as a result of diabetes. the 61 year old had been hospitalized on thursday morning and manila, aquino, who is the only son of 2 of the countries famous symbols of democracy. jamila again, looks back at the life of the leader who leaves a mixed legacy. believe me, the 3rd came from a long line of filipino politicians. he was the son of a much loved president as well as a national hero, his father, benito, nina akina junior, a well known opponent of president for a dinner mark was, was assassinated at manila airport. in 1983, his killing on the tarmac was described as breathing treatment. and shocking if i

were to know his widow corazon aquino, who had seats out of politics, took over his room. she became the face of a people power movement that led to the end of the 21 year rule by marco. regarded by many as a dictator. she eventually became the 1st female president of the philippines. in 1986. his mother's passing in 2009 followed the huge outpouring of grief for her is the symbol of democracy. too many filipinos, she was a catalyst for him to run for the highest post in government for he was sworn in as the 15th president in 2015. and i will not be i saw the torch forward

or the end of the day for a man would live for so many years in despair and shadow keenop soon came into his zone. he focused on fighting corruption, removing as sitting supreme court chief justice, accused of corruption and jailing its pretty sister, former president gloria mac arroyo for government irregularity. he pushed through a long and reproductive rights feet many warned with be near impossible in the nation, predominantly roman catholic. and during his administration, the economy grew by an average of more than 6 percent a year. he challenged china's territorial claims in the south china sea filing, a case of the international criminal court at the hague and winning. the major ruling declared, most of china's claim invalid. the victory was seen as president its members, but

a keenest presidency wasn't without conscience. the philippines was battered by severe natural disasters in 2013, but he was mostly impatient with criticism, especially with his government slow response in dealing with high for high young, one of the strongest storms on record. 2 years later, a botched operation to capture a fugitive muslim fighter killed more than 60 people, including 44 police officers and 5 civilians, turning the armed encounter into aquinos biggest political crisis. he leaves behind a mixed legacy, but said all he ever wanted was to be remembered. some one who was given the honor to serve the people. and he gave his best on our protest as in

thailand, a back on the streets of the 6 month break because of the current of virus pandemic . several groups are now rallying in bangkok, demanding the resignation of the prime minister. demonstrates is also calling for more to transparency from the monarchy as well as an overhaul of the constitution. these rallies come as the country marks the 89th street of the abolition of absolute monarchy. tony chang has moved outside parliament in the capital. the protest with crowds coming out of the change i once again with told department we know sitting on the route with the same cold. the protest movement early died out was the end of 2020. i think the government was riding high. i would be very, you know,

with the impression that there were in the region and there was a rise in the economy and the nation, the culture just thing that was opened up not only into this. yes, one of the produce is hoping that will give us that protest once again. this movement harry on have more impact than it did well, hong kong pro democracy, new se for apple daily has now printed its last edition. it's been forced to close off the assets for frozen, and its top executives arrested on the beijing national security rule. as if you go parlin reports now from hong kong, there's been a rush across the city to get those last copies of the paper. emotional scenes in the apples daily news room while the think press works over

1995 has never been more appropriate. the founder and owner jimmy lie has become a target for the chinese government for his support, the pro democracy protest in 2019 apple today. he's still miles away, lies in jail for taking part in unauthorized protests and as a waiting trial on charges under the new national security law. his media organization took another major hit when all its assets are frozen, and a number of executives were arrested along with a high profile columnist over articles calling for foreign sanctions against the chinese and hong kong government. it's seen as a violation of the national security law. the arrest yesterday of one of its column is suggest that now there is such a thing as salt crime. you don't just have to be involved in political activities. if you express in the, in the newspaper, you can also be arrested. this is very chilling and being the paper was regarded as

an institution that pushed the boundaries of what could be reported and lodging. the space for other media outlets, whether it's the fortress or not to the people of hong kong, the apple valley was much more than a newspaper for the fans, defended the cities freedom while ford critic challenge paintings authority over the territory civic paul and audience era. hong kong, now in indigenous group in canada, says it's discovered hundreds of unmarked graves. the size of a former residential school group says it's the largest discovery of its kind in canada. you recall just last month, the remains of 215 children were found in a different location. at least 150000 indigenous children were forced to be removed from their families and sent a residential school last with new clothes in the 1900 ninety's. while nearly 90000 students across the palestinian territory are starting their 1st day of general high school exams,

37000 of them were in the gaza strip. that's an important return to normality that just one month now after the 11 day conflict between israel and mass and may, many schools were damaged by israeli as strikes. and the ministry had to find alternate locations to ensure that students could actually set their exams well. meanwhile, an activist and an outspoken critic of present must put our boss has died during his arrest by palestinian authority. security forces needs a bonnet intended to run in parliamentary elections before they were cancelled. earlier this year, he accused the palestinian authority of human rights violations, and called on western nations to cut off aid to the group. stephanie deca has won from ramallah a lot of criticism reacting to the death of his od bye now to prominent critic of the palestinian authority. according to his family, around 25 members of the palestinian authority security forces entered his home in the hebron area around 3 30 in the morning, beating him, dragging him out of bed and dragging him screaming from the house. now,

according to his family, he has no known pre existing health conditions. he's been arrested in the past. he's been threat made against them in the past. according to his family, he was very critical of the palestinian authority, calling it a subcontractor of israel, accusing them of corruption. and just around 2 months ago, shots were fired by an identified gunman at his home. so there are now cause for an investigation and the timing of this also at a time when the palestinian authority is suffering from popularity here in the west bank, people very critical already of how they are running things. and certainly the use of one of its most prominent critics now dead. what many people here accusing it at the hands of the palestinian authority security forces are still ahead here on al jazeera, a w h o raises concerns over the realty of a russian factory that manufacturing the next one of the 1st anti virus software.
