shown us at the current security situation only confirms that just one more year fighting f canister is not a solution. but a recipe for being there indefinitely. it's up to the afghans to make the decision about the future of their country. all the taliban negotiator has said the group is open to a peaceful resolution of the conflict, but he would not guarantee that it would stop a tax on getting government installations. the group says it will lead and inclusive government with respectful minorities and that it won't let i so operate from its territory that hierarchy has more signs of times. changing the taller bonds, routes lie in the resistance to the $979.00. soviet invasion of afghanistan now sending his senior delegation to moscow to discuss the future of its country. the group says it's in control of 85 percent of afghan is spawn. the delegation has

africans. yet to see a peaceful solution to decades of violence. so to hide, i'll just sarah. the world health organization has issued a warning on the worsting humanitarian crisis in afghanistan. w h o is concerned about access to life saving medicine been a time from health care centers. more than $200000.00 bath guns have been displaced by fighting since the site of the year. a now the world news, at least 50 people have been killed in a fire, out of factory in bangladesh. you see it, many more remain trapped inside the building and lexie o'brien reports. i don't know how to make through the smoky, hey, emergency workers basle a place that's been burning from the day. this was once a food and beverage factory and roof gunch, an industrial town at 25 kilometers east of the capital docker, the 5 story building. now a child shell. it's believe the fire began on the ground floor and sprayed quickly

because of the chemicals and plastic partials stored inside. the main gate was said to be locked trapping many workers. they were in state brought out and body bags covered and ash, and dirt and packed into waiting ambulances. wow, it was a relative weighted overnight. the new, as flames lit up, the darkness and smoke billowed into the sky. i felt like my brother worked at the 6th floor of the factory. i lost communication with him after 5 pm this morning till switched off. oh, god helped me. i didn't do the meeting today. we came here because my niece was not answering her phone for a while and now the phone is not ringing. the toll worries. well, some people were rescued from the roof. several others were injured when they jumped from the 2nd and 3rd floor to escape. the situation is very critical.

the roads, 2 sides of the building, our vehicles can access the other 2 sites. there's also no way for the vehicles to move on and it's very risky to go higher and now we can go higher due to the immense factory, 5, the common and bangladesh where many of the businesses operate illegally and without safety measures. big waste and brands which employ tens of thousands of low paid workers there had come under heavy pressure to improve conditions. authorities did impose tougher safety rules after more than 1100 people died in a garment factory collapsed and darker and 2013 just months earlier. a 112 workers had lost their lives when they were trapped in a burning factory on the outskirts of the city and investigations been launched into how this latest fire started. grieving family members are demanding answers, and justice alexia brian al jazeera police in haiti say to haitian

you said the 28 attackers have been identified. 26 colombians and 2 americans of haitian descent. he said 8 were some of the run and 3 had been killed. and in a surprising turn, the colombian defense minister acknowledged some of the suspects had been in the colombian army, they might be in response to the assassination of the haitian president. today, interpol has officially requested information from the colombian government and the national police about the alleged perpetrators of the fact. so initially, the information indicates they are colombian citizens retired members of the national army. we've given instructions by the national government to our police and the army to collaborate in the investigation. to clarify these facts immediately, public force is fully at the disposition of the sister republic of haiti. this is all unfolded among a political backdrop of confusion about who is actually in charge. well,

1st i would say that it is still, it is our view and we continue to call for elections to happen this year. and we believe they should proceed. we know that free and fair elections will facilitate a peaceful transfer of power to a newly elected president. and we certainly continue to support katie's democratic institutions. movies had been ruling by decree after the majority of parliament was dissolved in january last year. now both claud, joseph and ariel henry, both senior politicians claim they are in charge. haiti a desperately poor country where the conversion of virus is spreading. violence is surging and political uncertainty rules the day. and now international mystery of who assassinated the 53 year old president. and why had to call him al jazeera washington says, got the latest without the gallagher, who's in miami for his and the new details emerging about given ways is a fascination, but still

a lot of unknowns a lot of unknowns. we're talking about at least 28 people, asian authorities are accusing of being part of this assassination. at least 2 doesn't have been said to be colombians. and as you heard there in parties report, they say at least a few of those were in the columbia an armed forces. so they thought he's in columbia helping with his investigation. i'm reading reports all so that these men may have flowed into the dominican republic weeks, if not months ago, to prepare for this assassination of job. now, my son moved across the border at some point, but there are so many questions. and so we don't know how they got past shop. no, my wheezes, private security force, which you would have to assume regarding the house. we don't know who is behind this attack or what the motivation is called joseph, who appears to at least for now be in charge is saying is perhaps because, you know, my wife was tackling corruption. but remember, this is a president that had been in power for longer than he should have been because

there have been no elections in haiti since 2017. there was supposed to happen in 2019, but it was all sorts of in fighting going on. but i think the wide picture here is that for now, at least the situation in haiti does appear to be calm. there is a state of emergency which gives authorities the right to disperse crowds and gatherings in that could really be dangerous. at this point in time, but there's a great deal of concern in the international community that this could slide into chaos very, very quickly indeed. so it's important for the asian government to make clear who the new president days, who's in charge and what the next steps saw. meanwhile, the wife of job, nobody's has been flown here to miami. she's been treated in hospital and the couple 3 children. and now said to be in a secure location, and he thank you very much for that andy gallagher with the latest from miami and fill a head on al jazeera battling to contain the spike in corporate 19 infection. south korea rates has restrictions in the capital with highest level and the future of

trying to defend the position that france has had also to explain what's, what's happening next after this announcement of a drop down of troops. effectively, what we're going to see is closing off of certain french military outposts in the northern molly in the region of kito, tim book to we're going to see a soldier as a drop down of of truth, but this will happen gradually. in 2022, they'll still be 3500. a french troops out of the operation buck gun that's taking place and that's a hell region. and then in 2023 that will go down to 2200 troops. don't make no mistake. this does not mean the end of french military presence in africa. in fact, they'll be very much present through the new force, the to cuba, the force which is a coalition of european special forces involving frowns and other european partners to try to stem out attacks by our groups and also to stop the flow of migration

court in south africa has dismissed an application by former president jacobs mattress spent his present sentence whom i began for having a 15 month term for contempt of court on thursday. after being found guilty of failing to appear before a corruption inquiry. the 79 year old has launched several legal challenges to try to stay out of prison. i mean, the miller has more from outside the court in peak and married. well, the court gave very little reason and explanation around why exactly it had come to that decision. the judgment was just given in 2 or 3 minutes and that was the end of it. but i don't think that that judgement came at any surprise for many people watching the story unfold. the application to the high court always was based around to restriction. and even during the arguments given by human lawyers at the time was that the jurisdiction, the called, the high court, potentially would not have the jurisdiction to make an order or

a judgement which was previously done by the constitutional court. the high court wouldn't have the jurisdiction to challenge what the constitutional court, the highest court in the country, one that can't be appealed. it wouldn't have the jurisdiction to make any changes to that order. so this judgement largely was expected. and for now, it means that the former president remains behind bars when he had turned himself in on wednesday evening. now he does have one other legal challenge pin thing that's to the constitutional court. specifically. next week, we're asking them to resend that judgement to at the very least listen to his sentence. legal experts say chances of being successful at the constitutional court are very slim, but we also know anything can happen. the courts have maintained that this is around the rule of law and the position it has so far is that the presidents, the former president's contempt of court charge stance,

and that's why he's in prison for at least for potentially 15 months. south sedans, president has promised not to return his country to war during a ceremony marking a decade since independence. it became the world's youngest country when its place from sudan in 2011. but a civil war soon followed which killed about 400000 people and displaced about 4000000 novice. on my part, i assure you that i will not read, then you will that would again lead us all work together to recover the last decade and put our country back to the path of development in these new ticket. while for many in south sedan, there's not much to celebrate on this anniversary 1000000 just feel displaced after a civil war that killed hundreds of thousands of people and the countries facing

extreme hunger. how remotest reports john cox it is. people voting overwhelmingly to the seed from sudan 10 years ago wasn't a mistake. it's what happened to south to don afterwards that broke him the war in 2013. when another round of fighting in 2016 has left him traumatized. it will not only do as had been we had our collect, my brother we have get even during this douglas my brother the will to kill when it did repeat itself, it was audible. things are now relatively calm. i like previous t steals that, failed. some people hope you didn't,

he government set up last year will hold it for former rebel either react michelle fornia, the 1st vice president along with for other vice president, president salva kit and michelle, i once again trying to work together and to the elections in 2023 politicians hope this transitional period encourages refugees and internally displaced people to return to their homes. thousands of people live here and this is just one of many can cross out the door. there's no running water and not enough food, meaning fat. and you said they don't know how long they going to be and going home for several of them is not an option because i've been to kick in some parts of the country. i act that flood drought and into communal violence. children born often de payments have never known peace age was to say the mediterranean crisis is listening. these are some of our greatest concern. certainly there's a food insecurity, crisis, and so sudan, 1400000 children are going to be male nurse this year, the highest number in years. the key parts of the peace agreement are still to be

implemented. these include established a unified national army, made of opposition and government forces. the people of south done telling the leadership that look, we tired of war. nobody once will any more. if there are some feel political leaders who are seeing that they would go and mobilize some of our citizens so that they cause a fight because they want to be leaders of this country. i don't think they will get the audience from the public. the new coalition government is trying to rebuild, focusing on various developmental and infrastructure projects. as new buildings go up in some parts of the country, uniting a bitterly divided nation building trust and making sure it's safe enough for everyone a fit to buy conflict to return home is going to be much more difficult. how to talk to you. but are you an investigator says illegal israeli settlements could amount to war crimes special laboratory michael link spoke to the human rights
