as field turn to desert farmer say climate change is to blame. ah hello respect the cease fire or risk, a devastating conflict spiraling further into crisis. that's the warning from the united nation to ethiopia as governments and rebel fighters and gripe. it says 400000 people are now suffering famine. while another $1800000.00 are thought to be facing starvation. the conflict began 8 months ago and has displaced millions to see great defense for says it's committed to cooperating with a partners and allowing access. if you government declare to cease fire this week right before major bridge and t gray was destroyed, cutting off the crucial aid supply routes. and catherine sewing reports of these album officials, they're denied their stifling the aid efforts. it's

a difficult task for a walk of trying to get food and other supplies to those who need it. most anti guy fighting is still going on in some part of the region. different forces control different areas and draw the facilities have been destroyed in some areas. this is what is left of a bridge over the tech has a river. it's an important supplier route to west than today. the world food program says it's food. stocks are running low and the airport still closed, reaching much of the population will be a struggle. the fact is that people have died. people are gone, and more people will die if we're not allowed in the ability to to prevent, prevent it from happening. the internet, telecommunication, and electricity has been cut off. if you p s. government official, c t guys, s peace will soon be open for un humanitarian flights. i asked the state minister of foreign affairs about restoring either basic services he blamed rebel forces in

t guy for destroying telecommunication and power lines, as well as killing engineers deployed to fix them. there is no way the government can course telecom and banking services at the open in conflict on unless and otherwise it would also behave and come to forward for a peaceful resolution. officials in the capital id saba, i run a p r offensive deputy prime minister, demeka mecca, non hudson held a meeting with diplomats to update them about the situation in t guy. his administration has been under pressure from all sides of a how have handles the conflict, the intuition that we're trying to solve for kids, the ticket people by denying command parent access and using anger has been a while is beyond the peer. this is absolutely no reason for us to do for this our people and the part of

the fact of the matter is what we are using every ounce of our thing to extra kit them from the dire situation they find themselves in the woman. and this is, ended our duty the situ, as an integrated, complex and fluid to grand fight as continue to gain ground filthy and retrans forces withdrawing fighters from the neighboring high region who control module disputed territories in west and the guy say that will not leave. and caught in between the billions were desperate to get back to normal caching. so you are the 0 i d saba, like not to have a morgan who is joining us from sudan. and how about that's where many are crossing over from. take rye, what are they telling you about the conditions they're leaving behind and what's the situation like for them where you are while they are in while

a lot of them are speaking of the horrors that they have left behind and cross the border, interested and seeking safety and refuge, many of them are also telling stories of how they're witness. i'm heard malicious. and if you've been farmers, they've accused those 2 sides of burning farms. they say that some crops were ready for harvest. and that if you can federal troops as well as her militias burned those crops to make sure that many to grin do not get any food to eat. they say that they believe that this is the target, the effort to make sure that they are barbed into submission. so many people who with books, especially pharmacy, that they think that this is a form of ethnic target. think they say that if there were any other mississippi, if there were any other ethnicity, maybe their farms would have been bad. but the fact that the grants and the farms are supposed to be feeding, but the grid region, then they have been burned to the ground. a lot of them have said that warehouses have been rated as well, with what is in them have been looted by her militia, as well as the federal troops. so many of them have arrived who are in terrible

humanitarian condition. it's a journey that can take days, sometimes weeks for them to be able to cross from parts of the gray into sudan. many of them in dire need of humanitarian aid. we already have 70000 refugees cross into that. most of them say that they want to know what is going on back home, and they want to hear from their relatives who they say they've left behind in terrible humanitarian conditions. thank you so much. have a morgan reporting from godaddy if it's true done? well, at least 20 people are missing in japan after a landslide near tokyo. take a look at this video homes have been swept away in the city of a tommy. it's just south west of the capital. sorento rain has been soaking the area for several days. get an update in bringing michael pan. he's the president of the she gets a news agency joining us from tokyo, thanks for speaking to us. i mean, the pictures are pretty astounding. very scary. just talk us through the scale of the destruction that's been caused. and what you're hearing ok, well, you know,

the picture is actually very, very much deuced tell the story. it is just that one area where these land slides have occurred. there have been other problems caused by the heavy rain, but not on that scale. somewhere higher up on that mountain, which is basically a coastal area of, of a resort town. tommy's very much kind of a resort town. the area began the gravel was, was loose by a long period of heavy rain and this mud slide and debris just clattered down the mountain and started taking houses with it. and the, you know, according to the authorities, about 19 or 20 people are thought to be missing at this point. and, you know, really, it was a fearsome moment there for those in the neighborhood. and the authorities are warning people to look out for more. because the rain hasn't entirely stopped and

this is rainy season in japan. yeah. and authorities are also warning that the rain will continue over the next few days. so not very good news for people who live there, but on the 19 or 20 people, as you mentioned that are missing or you're hearing anything about their faith and authorities. do authorities expect that number to ride? well, it's not exactly clear at this point. you know, from experience and very similar, sure natural disasters. but it usually takes actually a couple of days before the exact numbers known. because the japanese authorities tend to be very meticulous about making sure that what they report to the media is accurate as possible. so what i would expect is that, you know, these 19 or 20 people or so will probably be listed as missing for some time until their bodies are going to pull out. and then one by one that the number of

confirmed ads will probably rise to something like the number of missing. and the prime minister we know has called for an emergency meeting. so we'll wait to see what comes out with that. but we also know that the local governments is now requesting military assistance for rescue mission. i mean, how significant is it that the military has to be called in? well actually in japan that's not so unusual in the case of natural disasters. as you probably know, japan is very much a natural disaster country. i mean there may be no country on earth that has as many natural disasters in smaller is japan. does you know volcanoes, earthquakes, landslide floods it's, it's gets hit very heavy. and so the self defense forces, one of their missions is to, to go to these disaster zones. and to kind of add some manpower to a situation where, you know, otherwise local authorities might be overwhelmed. ok,

great, thank you so much for breaking that down for us. michael penn. we appreciate your time from tokyo when denisia has rolled out more restrictions in its capital jakarta, the main island of java, as well as a tourist hubbub, bali mosques, restaurants and shopping malls have been closed after a record number of new daily infections and debts, health care system has been stretched to the limits would make shift tens having to be set up outside. just washington has more from indonesia, capital. i mean, the dakota city center and the city is uncharacteristically quiet, as these restrictions take effect. and they will be in place until at least the 20th of july. but authorities warned that they may be extended if the situation does not improve to some of these restrictions include 100 percent work from home policy for non essential sectors. the closure of move, restaurant galleries and other public sites, as well as road closures and limits on who can travel. passengers now have to show

a vaccination card before they can travel domestically. and the reason that these restrictions were really became a necessity is because of the strain on the hospital. particularly here in the capital jakarta, we know that some hospitals are already at 100 percent capacity, and others are edging close to that. and doctors say that they have been forced into the terrible position of having to turn away sick patients because they are understand such strange. you may have seen some of the refill scenes that we've seen in the capital, but across java, people desperately lining up for oxygen for their relative. not because there's an oxygen shortage at this point. but because they weren't able to get sick, loved ones into hospital and they've been forced to sort of d, i y treatment at home. so the hope here in indonesia is that these restrictions may help with lowering transmission and may help ease the burden that doctors and

nurses are experiencing at the moment. malaysia is tightening pandemic restrictions in qual, i'm poor and other areas surrounding the capital countries under a national lockdown and reported nearly 7000 new cases on thursday. the government has set a date for parliament to reconvene next month after it was suspended in january, florence louis has more from called on for on the additional restrictions somebody's height restrictions include only one person from each household being allowed out, and ridden only attend kilometer radius of the home and necessities people not being allowed out of the homes after 8 pm, except for emergencies or with police approval. factories that produce non essential items have to shut. and this is because many workplace clusters have come from factory. now the lockdown has generated anger and they say those that have successfully managed to implement safety protocols, such as regular testing being punished collectively with aaron's business owners.

and people say also that this type her lockdown, this restriction will create even more hardship. and the number of cases has gone up, but malaysians have rallied together urging people who need assistance to raise a wife like outside their home as a signal that they need help, whether it's food or money. now that has been a nationwide lockdown already for more than a month. not only that malaysia has been in a state of emergency since january, yet we're not seeing the number of cases coming down. now much of that is also because there's the delta variance of the corona virus, but there is a political dimension to this as well. there is not a renewed push for parliament to reconvene. it's been suspended since the declaration of emergency in january, and this renewed push is coming not just from the king, but also opposite, but also politicians from both sides of the divide. still ahead on al jazeera, the tal volcano, philippines continues to adjust the toxic gas,

a government aid never reaches our communities. now we want real change through our popular and farming organizations and we need training. there are minors, farmers even notice camps here. manual ruskie says he couldn't believe his luck this week, but i'm happy. i met him yesterday. i don't know him personally. he talked about education, health and agriculture, and said we have the resources to become a great country. as many supporters wait for election officials to proclaim gusty your precedent there, knocking on the parties, headquarters, stores, community leaders from around the country are allowed in. most don't meet the 51 year old rural teacher. still the want to be heard. i didn't leave a send him a proposal. it's an indication, ancient technologies and medicine who's last 5 years were marked by political turmoil. the pandemic has pushed 3000000 more peruvians into poverty garcia's

there may not be a new leader officially that castillo supporter say they are already thinking about the future. by deanna sanchez also see that lima be to former south african president, jacob summa is taking legal action to avoid prison after he was found guilty of contempt of court zoom. i was sentenced to 15 months in jail on tuesday after failing to appear at an inquiry into corruption from the dental or has more from the former president hometown, often candler, just days before the deadline to hand himself over to police. former president jacob zoom has put forward to applications to 2 different quotes in south africa to try and prevent an arrest. that's after the constitutional court issued a judgement that had said that the former president has, it was in contempt of court for not appearing at a state inquiry into corruption. they've been sentenced him to 15 months in jail

because of that resistance. now the former president is saying that the penalty by the constitutional court is to pause. and this is despite the court in previous month, asking the former president to submit an affidavit to explain why he didn't attend the commission of inquiry into corruption. and also said that he had the opportunity to which was somewhat unprecedented, say what the penalty should be. the former president didn't do any of those things . he didn't submit an affidavit, he did not appear before the constitutional court. and he was in sentence to 15 months in, in prison, for contempt of court. he is now saying he's not well enough to go to prison. he's also too old and it's a very harsh sentence. but before he appears before the console constitutional court, if that application is granted, he's also approaching a high court for a stay of that imprisonment. so that he's not arrested by police. he has until

sunday to hand himself over voluntarily. it's not certain that would happen, especially given the attempt to stay at stay out of prison. and off to that police would then likely be issue a warrant of a risk for the former president. and that could happen anytime after sunday. so it's unclear at this point. what exactly will happen, but the president, the former president does have his supporters who have for a number of days come out to his residence in canada, in the president to tell, to show their support. and they've said they'll do anything necessary to protect the former president, and that he should not be arrested. delegates with un back talks to pay the way for elections in libya, have failed to find common ground. week long negotiations in geneva were expected to confirm the terms of the presidential parliamentary vote. elections would be a critical step in efforts to bring stability to libya. soaring temperatures,

in lack of rainfall are leading to an increasingly desperate situation for farmers in iraq as a result, the government restricted what farmers can grow, but that hasn't solved the countries severe water shortages. iran con has this report from the farms east of bi guns. this should be lush, agricultural land growing amongst other things, watermelons and tomatoes. instead. if dead, it's been this way since april and it's just getting worse all over iraq. the fields are turning to desert because of drought. 45 percent of iraq's arable land is under threat. according to the iraqi committee on agriculture and figures from the ministry of agriculture. this farm is an example of that grim statistic. the water that fed the land has dried up irrigation canals, empty animals, have died. this farmer is in despair and says that climate change could have been

managed and he knows exactly who to blame me. it will be most of the mismanagement, 100 percent. as the problem, the authorities knew the situation here for decades and they know the solution. they have built storage on the yellow river and dams on the t gris. no dams built since we had a royal family. now the water is finished with the height of demanding and farmers migrating to the city. this is the only source of income for corruption. miss violet went and wor, are often blamed for most of iraq's problems for the farm. as though climate change has made things worse, the government stop them from growing set and crop thing. the water must be used for drinking irrigation, the land, and get it to know if we were short sighted. we did not put in a previous plan to deal with the drought if the amount of water is insufficient in the summer. for farming the government should have issued the decision to stop it, forming nice, sees, and plowing and other preparations. so why would we allow the people to lose hard

work in money? it's better they sell for me for at least one season. but this is no one sees a problem in 2020 iraq lawrence the national action plan on climate change alongside the united nations. it was supposed to address everything that you see around me. these dead feels the lack of water, but in the subs. one years there has been higher and higher temperatures here in iraq, less rain full, and now with corruption. miss management of the water flow. farmers here say that national action plan simply is working according to the united nations development program. iraq's one of the most vulnerable countries in the entire region, the days are getting a hold to every year and the rains less frequent. it is perhaps the biggest challenge facing the country, but it also has unintended side effects. with the lack of natural water comes

reliance on plastic, bottle water and with that more trash, rivers of stuff that are left on the streets because there's no system in place to dispose of it. iraq can expect to see more dead field, a more plastic on the streets, unless something drastic has done him wrong. caught out a 0 east of baghdad. ah, hello again. the headlines on al jazeera, the u. n. is warning if you because government in rebels and to ride to respect a truce or risk spiraling further into crisis. it says 4 100000 people are suffering famine. well another 1800000 face starvation. heaven, morgan has spoken to some of to brian refugees who have fled across the border.
