benefit will be to jordan and egypt because erotic goods will not be in egypt or jordan and marcus anytime soon. and at the same time, ruskin basically sell oil to many other countries, especially now that the oil prices have been increased significantly. there had been talk about bringing more electricity to iraq. the country had the suffering from lack of electricity for the past 3 decades, even before the u. s. vision, 2003. maybe there have been also talk about selling goods within the iraq itself. possibly construction of or investment in the infrastructure of iraq as well. but at the same time, i'm not sure how much iraq themselves would benefit from it. i mean, there have been also 2 of us to human capital of egypt, but the iraq itself has almost 40000000 citizens. so there could be an investment in the people themselves. fighting between germany,

health minister, who's described it as putting the fox in charge of the hand coop as far as pointing such a job it, he's made his 1st statement as health secretary, he's going into the office today sunday morning. he said we're still in a panic. i want to see that come to an end as soon as possible. and it will be my immediate priority to see that we can return to normal soon and as quickly as possible. i've got a lot of work to do. and if you'll excuse me, i'd like to get on with it. what such a job as challenge now is festival controlling what we're seeing here in the u. k, which is an uptick in new infections of current of ours, but also the long term issues reform of the an h. s. tackling the social care issue, the increasing number elderly, whose care needs to be funded somehow by government appointment avenue and a chest chief executive, for example. there is the short term, but there's also the long term strategic stuff that such a job. it needs to grasp very quickly. supporters so peruse to presidential

asylum seekers to enter the us would only those with active m p. p cases. the muslim son is in asylum seeker from honduras was been waiting in mexico for the last 2 years. says she's hopeful of the changing policy law was the model. i like me because the last lawyer told me a judge had closed my case and that i had to open a new one. but then i spoke with a different lawyer who told me my case was not closed, and i still have a chance to enter the united states. what i want to do, my group protection protocols, also known as to remain in mexico program 1st and estimated 70000 people to wait for immigration hearings in cities on the mexican side of the border we met abeline, also from honduras, says he's been the victim of violence and even kidnapping since arriving in c one and 2 years ago. but a reopening of his asylum case means he might soon have an opportunity to cross the border. legally. no better. okay. maybe, you know,

i have renewed hope because my lawyer said, have patience. wilma, dia, reopening in pay pay cases. i had almost given up, but thank god, cases are being reopened. if rumors asylum cases accept it, he could soon joined the more than 11000 people, the active n p. p cases who have been allowed to enter the us since february. but there are many others. we're still waiting for guidance on what to do next. human rights groups estimate there to be around $3000.00 people living at this migraine case. now the ongoing covered 19 health emergency means the border remains closed, disrupting the traditional us asylum process. now this means that for thousands of migrants and asylum seekers have no choice, but to wait here on this side of the border. with more people arriving every day, migrants rights, advocates warned that conditions of the camp are no longer sustainable. battlefield meant they come by, men, the campus in a terrible situation organized, crime has infiltrated it. there's disease, there are risk,

people have suffered violence there. and i believe it's a ticking time bomb despite the phasing out of trump era policies like n p p, the bite it administration has yet to normalize the us as silent process. experts say that until the system becomes more streamline the crisis on this side of the border will only continue to worsen when winds up a little al jazeera, he went to mexico. johnson and johnson has agreed to pay $230000000.00 to settle a case in new york about its rule in fueling the opioid epidemic. and the pharmaceutical giant says it's permanently stopped making and selling the highly effective painkiller in the us. johnson johnson denies wrong doing. the settlement means it won't be part of a major trial starting in a few days. when 850-0000 americans have died from a period overdoses since the crisis began 20 years ago. or a thousands of cases against various parts of the period industry. but overall they

have one goal. as rosalyn jordan explains, it's very expensive to have people go through the process of kicking their drug addiction. and this is also a complicated, the work of physicians and nurses who are trying to help people who are in chronic pain because there really is no way to predict when someone starts taking one of these pain medications. whether or not that person is going to become addicted, the overall goal among local, state and federal government. here are the states, is that perhaps there will be a settlement worth some $26000000000.00 reached with the various facets of the oil industry. and that includes the pharmaceutical companies that includes the distributors that includes local pharmacy chains. if they can reach that kind of settlement, then theoretically, that money would be available to, among other things,

provide ongoing treatment for those who become addicted to the medicines. perhaps put some money into research to find a pain medications that aren't as addictive as well as pay the people who are trying to carry out all this work. and of course, pay the lawyers as well. but there is no word yet on if or when that kind of settlement could be reached. there have been to go see ations, but again, that has not been concluded. so really, people who are addicted are really caught in the middle. it's very expensive to go through these treatment programs, and a lot of private insurance companies just don't pay for it. my future unless and me and mar has become more dangerous, is february the military coup, 7 media workers have been arrested since general sees car. some of them are escaping to neighboring thailand, but it's tony chang reports from the border. they don't feel safe that either. working from the shadows, part of a new life in exxon, this journalist from mir mas hiding and thailand having fled the military regime at

home. we can walk here bad, like we stay in prison, we can go anywhere. it was good for me to spend 9 years here after seeing a previous military crackdown, then she was able to get legal status. this time she had to cross the border illegally. 10 years ago in thailand, no military government, now militia government, that is very different. earlier this month, 3 journalists from the democratic voice of burma for quickly sentenced and reported . after being arrested in the northern tie city of cheng mind. without the swift intervention of a 3rd nation, they could have been returned to mamma, potentially facing lengthy jail terms of the journalist since side mamma. and now faced with little choice, this report a live stream to the rest. the soldiers fired into his house. 87 journalists have

been arrested since the qu, many pacing charges under a special section of the penal code for making claims that could damage public tranquillity. even those operating with legal status. a concern to the generals and thailand could be getting too friendly with their counterparts in men mom. this really make many people fear up like an arrested arrest and also to beat the book that so that's why the people who arrive here and without any documents, they really have to live with low profile. the security has been increased on the long and porous border, but it remains relatively easy to cross thailand has kept a tight control on its borders since the military. coups and mamma. not only because it's concerned about a flood of refugees coming across. but also because of fears, coven 19 could come with them. but the career of ours is unlikely to be the only reason these soldiers trying to sniff out dissident journalists,

have slipped across into thailand. tony cheng al jazeera on the time in my border, bangladesh is government is planning to open one and 500 new mosques. it says the $1000000000.00 project is essential to tackle what it calls extremism, and to bring accurate information, a bite islam to the public. that has to be charge reports from several critics accused the government, all politicizing religion. the plan for this mega mosque project was initiated in 2017 before the last general election. it's reportedly one of the largest enterprises off its kind in the world. the majority of the mosque and bangladesh are privately owned, with limited government oversight. but some analysts say the real aim of the $1000000000.00 mass project could be political. obviously, i thought it was so lately there was a strategy for reform. mosques were previously used for various extremist teaching as well as for radicalization and

a plan to make as controversial. i am confident such a plan will be foiled through proper teaching. and these masks the newly constructed mosque would be open to woman. unlike most of the countries of the 300000 most and many we will have libraries and education and cultural centers. 0, one of the official feature of this new mar or their separate floor dedicated for women, which you don't typically see in that. they can train or any other time on the left on it. there are plenty of mosque in our area, but there are no facilities for women to pray. we are very grateful for this facility, and there will be 560 such new mark soon. we as woman, thank the prime minister for this initiative. alorie of an expert on political islam save the government is now creating separate religion based parallel social institution across the country. these mosque will offer a new interpretation of his time,

which government wants to greek for they are described as a model one. and then this will also create a new category of his time because currently the, what we have in vandalism, this policy based on that humanity, slummy and a month now they're going to pre to new strand of institution. and the final point is that the finish to do since we're going to. so for linguistic fusion there's been a rise and extremism in bangladesh and recent years, at least 50 people, including 8 these bloggers, religious minorities, gay activists, and foreigners have been killed. and the prime minister check has been out of ceremony tomorrow. the new mosque project, argent, islamic scholars, teachers and guardians, to keep young people away from the path of military school, saying that these mosque will be used as a political tool. i want to assure them and everyone else that in reality we don't have such a directive and that there is no political activities will be initiated here. since 2013 check us in us government has cracked down on religious parties. she has made

secularism part of bangladesh, its constitution, political analysts thing the new math program is the latest moved by the government to cartel the influence of what it considered to be extreme is political organizations. in the mainly muslim majority, country turnville, child re al jazeera sub are bangladesh. 35 people have been rescued from the fire that swept through marina in hong kong. it burned through 16 boats sinking at least tennyson, its crews were 6 hours to put out the blaze. fuel tanks could be heard exploding this vicksburg covered the marina and neighboring terror blocks. awe of them, how the more he the an info was a headline for now to sierra thailand is typed in restrictions in bangkok and other provinces to tackle the worst outbreak of the firas. the new measures begin on
