1:05 pm
principles. much of the conflict has been fought in small towns and villages where right groups say thousands of civilians have been killed, got people waiting to see if the ceasefire will bring peace and the help they desperately need. now come web is now live for us in nairobi, malcolm, what is the latest on the ground in malawi? as you understand it, we've heard reports of roddick fighting, been very difficult to confirm anything exactly because there are still communication problems. the phones on 2 ways working internet not working well. so there's also massive questions about what's going on in the rest of the gray region to get there weren't just 2 players in the floor as well as the tray and government troops and the t p left slices. the government through c, p l. a. fight is also fighters from neighboring eritrea were fighting alongside the
1:06 pm
ethiopian counts upon the militia from the region of ethiopia. and so we don't know what's happening in the provinces, much as it was, seemingly easy for the government forces to take the kelly. it's difficult for them to take the hold of the rest of the province. 7 months ago, the t d f, the t p a left remain like thriving in many of those rural areas. now we wait and the t p l. s. given that they've taken the capital mckelly, are they going to be able to control the rest of the province? always this conflict going to drag on, but with telephone communications cut off, but it's not safe to travel on the road is very difficult to find out exactly what's going on in those remote areas. many, thanks for that, malcolm web that for us in nairobi. let's turn to hipaa morgan who is in see dance capital call to me. hey, but this conflict has had a huge impact on the people of t gray that been warnings of famine, millions displaced, many killed. you've spent a lot of time with many of those to gray and refugees in su,
1:07 pm
done and elsewhere. what if they've been saying to you while a majority of them who've been speaking to say they just want to be able to go back home? they want to be able to access the farm that they've left behind. many of them have told us horrific stories of seeing their families and relatives being killed, of neighbors being shot to death of farms that they see a ready for harvest. but being burned by thee, obey who they say were heard malicious. i'm by return for the loss of horror stories that we heard from the refugees. but those who we've been able to reach out to over the past few hours to, to hear their views on the latest developments. say that they don't know what this means. does this mean that they can go back home and be able to access their farms and return to their normal lives? they're not sure if that's what it means, because the left and the p d f are yet to announce that they have accepted the fire. the unilateral fire that was announced by the government of prime minister i b, i met some of them all to say that they want to know. what does this mean that take
1:08 pm
rate is now an independent country. they say that's what they want to see happening after the month of war. that is seen what they say, the ethnic targeting of degree and by fellow europeans and by a return troops. so lots of people with different hopes. but ultimately what we've heard from all of them is that they want to know if this is the end of the conflict or, and they can go back home or this means that they will continue to be the place until the be the future is clear for both sides are involved in the conflict that the pdf and the therapy national defense for money thinks about hippa, morgan, by 1st and cartoon the routes of the conflict between the national army and to grey and rebels goes by decades. the t great people's liberation force or t p r last party has dominated european politics for nearly 30 years. that's until prime minister took power in 2018. i'll be ordered a military operation against the group in
1:09 pm
t gray in november off the he said it attacked on the basis, but t p f say it was unfairly targeted on t great opposition, party say more than 50000 people have been killed while the united nation says more than 350000 faith, the risk of famine. since november the t p l f has joined forces with other groups to form the t great defense. 4th, and after months of regrouping and recruiting new fighters, they began a major counter attack to ed's malay in recent weeks. as get more on the story were joined on skype by samuel get taught to he's a freelance journalist based in addis ababa. many thanks for joining us on the program. if we listen to the narrative from the european government, the if you're committed to re, i've been in control of malaria in the t very region since last november. so how and when did this major turn of events come about?
1:10 pm
where the last few days get touch or read the resist spokesperson keep has been tweeting thing. this is coming. not to many people, believe them, but he was even giving a media access to international media that have been visiting you. and he's been saying it for a few days. and this has called many, many people by quiet that suffice. so what do you make of this unilateral sees far request by the european government? is it an admission of defeat? well, if you, if you speak to the job site, they would tell you that it was the interim government to grow. that was appointed by december requested a fire and the federal government tax tempted it. if you speak to the other side, they would tell you that they were forced to compromise because again, the whole region as being has been affected by the conflict. there are 1000 separate millions of people that need who date and money part of the region hasn't
1:11 pm
been accessible to foreign organizations willing to help. so this was a cause $22.00 for all of them. and the really needed to focus on saving lives because we're moving to the farm and territory in subway. and that's what we were hearing from our correspondent in cartoon, who is spoken to many of the refugees from the gray in region. what is going to happen next? will to grand forces accept this truth because that's what many people want to know . can they come back home? it's hard to speak on their behalf. they have been tweeting in the last few hours, explaining that they've taken over mckelly and then towards the previous government that the claim was elected by almost 100 percent. that majority vote. so again, it's a complex issue. so we're watching from a distance, but inside it and think that this fire will produce
1:12 pm
a chance window of opportunity for some of the displays. people in the c dot and with a new job to go back to their own area and farm. because there is a focus, i think from all sides, from and or at least the disaster coming. and that's, you know, the prime minister said if we could go that there is no famine, but there is a problem. maybe this is what he's been reflecting on where what options does this actually leave the med who, let's not forget one nobel peace prize not very long ago. what does he do next to the he's, he's had the help up the trends in the past. in this, in this war, will go back to them. what options are available for him? i could never speak to the minister, but the fact is there is a pressure for kind of cease fire because the impacts. there's no just with any money have claimed has,
1:13 pm
i mean it's the regional conflict every chance are involved from the north. so if you can start hitting the gun, so it's no longer need to have an issue named before. it has become a regional issue as part of a powerful nation within the region. and what happens in the field at lee and largest would have an impact in other countries. and there is, there is no uniform like understanding that there needs to be some kind of a tension, invest that initio to solve this conflict because it's not just the job in facing other regions as well. so you'll get taught to freelance journalist base and addis ababa, thank you. thank you. here were more of the stories coming up in the our funerals or help for members of pro iranian militia in ra, who were killed in u. s. s. strikes facebook shap, price,
1:14 pm
the thought of the highly publicized court case. we'll have all the details and inform wanna football's greatest, rob rob will raise regimes on monday for us to look ahead to that big game. ah, another big story for you. foremost, south african president, jacob zoom out, has been given 5 days to hand himself in off the judge and sentenced him this morning to 15 months. in jail. zoom has been found guilty of contempt for failing to appear before an inquiry investigating corruption during his time in office. a commission has been hearing allegations about the wealthy group to family who used its friendship with zoom as to when government contracts and influence policy in the country. mister room,
1:15 pm
i know ordinarily to ease the former president of the republic of south africa who continues to with significant political influence. and in woman dies a great deal of power to insight as to similarity sire put order. he's actions and any consequences or lead at being closely observed by the public. so if he's conduct is met with impunity, he will do significant damage to the rule of law. they need political position that mr. luma enjoys as the for my president, constitute accept not each of this mentor that justifies a community fled she mention that speak to for me. the miller in joanna's bag for me to get to see the judge that absolutely damning and her ruling how surprising you by this verdict. i think many south africans are surprised at how angry the constitutional court is at what he calls
1:16 pm
jacob zoom as defiance. and part of that ruling judge can pay had said the defiance is unlawful and must be punished and the unsuspended order of conservation. the only option also saying that anything to try and co worse former president jacobs do much to appear at the commission would be futile. and now it's time that the president go to jail for defying that commission of inquiry which has been going on for about 2 years now. many had thought that perhaps the former president would get a suspended sentence, perhaps a fine because they were questions around the independence of the judiciary. and now analysts, commentators are saying that this is a victory for the supremacy of your in south africa and the independence of the court. many lauding the courts for what it's done, but also saying that it's quite shameful that a former president is in this position. we know that jacob zoom,
1:17 pm
i has 5 days to hand himself over to police, and in one of the earliest indications so far of what might happen next. his daughter didn't do my has treated that she spoken to a father, he's in ice birds. and she also said we have a choice between serving time in china. well going candid, that's the former president's home. and because lou natal and locked out no, no locked on billy school, you to serve your time. now this is very much the messaging that's been put out by the former president throughout this period that he's a mater. a that the constitutional court, that the commission of inquiry into corruption have a political agenda that he's been targeted and that they're biased. and if this is what he has to do to, to show that he's been targeted to show that he's a victim than he's prepared to do it. but we'll see what happens in the next few days as we expect him. who is expected that he hands himself over to police. so what does this tell us about the corruption inquiry that you mention that it has
1:18 pm
been accused in the past of lacking teeth? clearly that's not the case. now. the commission has faced a lot of criticism around what exactly it's paul was it doesn't necessarily have the power to charge of any of the people appearing at the commission that's trying to investigate a large scale corruption in south africa. it's likely that the commission once it's finalized, would put together a report, and that would be put forward to the national prosecuting authority, whose duty it would then be too late charges. we don't know if jacob zoom would face any charges once that commission wraps up. it was due to end of the week off to a 2 year period. it's again, been extended until at least september. so while it's face criticism, the commission had enough really with jacobs who might defying its mandate defying
1:19 pm
a court summons. he appeared at the commission last year, november walked out. he then boycotted a summons that was put in place in about february this. yeah. and this is when the commission approached the constitutional court needing the, the, the judicial processes in south africa to play out, to enforce the mandate of that commission. there has been a lot of very interesting to say the least testimony at the commission around large scale corruption in south africa. so so that friends are waiting for that commission to wrap up for potential charges to be laid against a number of people. high ranking members of the a and c, not just the former president, jacob zoom in terms of the fight against corruption. this judgment by the constitutional court is, is massive in that it's, it's a big move by south africa judiciary to force the mandate of the commission and, and push for the fight against corruption in that
1:20 pm
a former president is potentially going to jail, not for corruption, but for contempt of court, by not appearing at the under commission. money, thanks to explaining all that to us for me to mila. for us in johannesburg as rarely forces have demolished a palestinian business in the so one neighborhood of occupied east jerusalem. a butcher shop was knocked down on tuesday morning. the homes of 13 palestinian families now faced the same threat and israeli court has ordered they be demolished off to a ruling they were built without a prophet permit harry, forth it isn't. so while he spoke to the owner, oh no that but to shop for more than 10 years, this was the butchery nador, raj ivy. it is a business which sustains the life of 15 people. but last nights, monday nights is ready. forces came here and said that it had not been demolished according to
1:21 pm
a demolition order that was imposed on the 7th of june. and so they would come within days and demolish it. that's what happened early on tuesday morning. they were pretty violent confrontations as it's ready forces arrived between some of the family members of the job. he said they were there was tear gas used and once people were cleared away, it was demolished. mister red job himself says it's bad enough that this business has gone, but there are more buildings that he owns that people live in 25 family members that are also on the imminent threat. and i didn't specify, this is not the only place that is under threat. we still have 4 other homes in another business that belonged to the family. today they said next time they will demolish the other properties. we are still waiting to see what will happen. beyond that, there are a political consequences both for the new israeli coalition government which contains a palestinian israeli policy that is argued against demolitions of this type, at least within israel is less so here in occupied east jerusalem. and there are the broader tensions that took place,
1:22 pm
the violence in april. so war between israel and hamas in may much of that century around israeli actions here in occupied east jerusalem. more such actions on tuesday, the limited in scope so far there is threat of more to come that could see tensions rise again. and all does. there are a mess of family and occupied east jerusalem that faces the prospects of becoming homeless under chappelle has that story. the jobs have called this home for decades along this quiet road in the area of l. boost on the palestinian family has been told to demolish it on the grounds. it wasn't built with the proper permits. if they don't, the municipality says it will do it for them and send them the bill. that was the cost. financial and emotional are already too high for family. it's facing forced expulsion from their homes. so i did them and i had more of a bed. it's really hard to describe how i feel. i cannot put it into words. you
1:23 pm
never know what it means to see to whom you built and reduced ruins. hello. we are living in fear. there is no security. i wish we could just release time. it's next to impossible to obtain a construction permit unoccupied east jerusalem. as families have grown over the years, homes have grown with them without a building permit, both the old and the new are under threat of demolition, which looms over the homes of 1500 people israeli settler organizations want to raise the neighborhood and replace it with an archaeological park and settlements and had the plus when we're doing a capital f linear. the aim is to cleanse the area of palestinians entirely. this is part of israel's holy basin plan for jerusalem starts to shake terra and then here until one passing through the ancient town. it is nothing short of ethnic cleansing is a plant, uproot the palestinians from their lands and replace them with jewish settlers. many of the families in this neighbourhood settled there after they were pushed out of their homes,

following the 1948 in 1967 wars. the hills along the southern walls are home to more than 100 families who are once again faced with force displacement and chappelle al jazeera. facebook has survived a number of lawsuits accusing it of market monopoly and destroying competition. a federal judge dismiss, be complained by regulated sounds. several us states for lack of evidence. they have 30 days to amend and re fall their complaint from us. politicians say facebook should be broken up from instagram and won't stop the other platforms that it owns . after the ruling facebook share value, such to more than one trillion dollars for the 1st time leading mobile technology firms have gathered in spain to show off the latest products while the change. hugely since last year is mobile? well, congress was canceled because of the pandemic. and this year companies came to show how their new kids can help bring us back together during the hall. as us report
1:25 pm
from barcelona, the world of work, the world of learning, the world of play, all old to perhaps forever by a virus that's changed everything. there is only one teacher that teacher in the real world, and they teach 30 people that teacher in a virtual world could teach. and it's in a number of people past months that have forced us to be a pot. has also brought lessons about how better to share resources while apart. so we've been living in a panoramic where we've seen v r double triple win in fail. and that's been driven by force remote behavior. but in the, in the world we're moving to, i think it's going to be a choice that you may just going to be hybrid, sometimes remote, sometimes in person and, and the amount of experiences that you can have to virtual reality. connecting with people, learning from people, is going to mean that they're going to be a lot of places and a lot of instances where just stay for better, cheaper,
1:26 pm
use virtual reality then to go back to the old behavior. this is what it takes to put on an international technology show in the age of cove. it, there's large scale testing, digital proof of cobit status and a mobile world congress diminished by travel restrictions. yet for all that, it is able to tell us something about communications and technology after the pandemic. when all of this is gone, holograms will be the future. it will be the only way that we look at our computer screen phones or any phone calls. if you feel zoom was cool, try chatting to a hologram. zoom has been a fantastic connection for people, but it definitely lacked the ability to emotionally engage the same level that we had before. so this is really a stepping stone that we see to allow people to get back to that emotional gauge or doesn't matter if you're in japan and i'm in the united states there were across the entire planet, you can still engage with somebody that same level that use, or at least in a better way than we have had the return of big events like this one, show that in some parts of the world,
1:27 pm
the pandemic is loosening its grip. it also suggest that we won't be returning to things quite as we left them. this is futurist cecilia tam, people have changed in terms of their behavior. companies have understood that their boundaries are more valuable. technologies are increasing capacity and so all of the indications are telling you that we will be within this range to what extent, you know, how far we can know that people work at home and versus how, how far we've moved. or we went back. that is to see, but we're not going to, we're not going to go back like before. the technology of the future feels like those much to social distances, anticipating, perhaps that social distancing will not entirely become a thing of the past. jonah whole al jazeera barcelona coming up soon, and the news out china market century. since it's revelation, we look at how the nation has said on the one policy model. mexico legalize is
