dad's that is where my root otherwise is. with more the reason for this is the same that happened in a probably in edna the hospital and, but that badly stored oxygen cylinders being get miss used the know that prevention measures no proper equipment, no safety equipment, no safety measures. that's according to many people, including health efficient. iraq is currently going through a high wave arise in fiction over 900 infection cases. and this is one of the centers allocated for treating a covert maintain patient now and that the member has st hospital that war. the isolation center was located for absorbing about a 100 bit 100 patients. there was a,

there were about 60 people there. when the fire broke out, these were patients and with their accompanying relatives. there are also victims among the medical us tough and the security individuals. the prime minister must have because of me has and i was have done it, he, his government is having are holding an emergency meeting with his officials and that is a wave of anger. people are really very angry. they say that it's just a replica of the same mistakes that were led to the death of 82 patients in april in the hospital in that or not run. so as the director of the iraq initiative at chatham house into the rocks, health system really suffered from the government's mismanagement and corruption. sadly, this isn't the 1st time and sadly it won't do that last time. we often talk about corruption. talk about the political parties benefit thing from state conference,

but what we're seeing is the human whole that are option and it's management. these are the victims who. ready have no other choice, but to deal with this health system health system that has for decades been been taken for granted. the news for, for revenue generation from all the political parties, all together as part of this lead past that govern the country. so, you know, as i, as, as, as we see is the same of story and you know, that iraq, you are again the victims to. ready their leaders, politician because they know that they need to blame corruption and they're going, you know, rhetorically, they'll come out and say, this is all bad, but their actions rarely go with their work. they will continue. and that's why, sadly, this is not the last time we're going to see iraq, you dying because of the decisions made by their political leaders. talk, news,

and south africa. the military's been deployed after protest triggered by the jailing of former president jacob zoom turned violent. at least 6 people have been killed and hundreds arrested. zoom in prison for refusing to obey caught orders to appear before a panel looking into corruption during his time in office. from the miller reports now from johannesburg, the after full day, the writing so that we can president food multiples or appeared on television appealing for com. although these maybe opportunistic x of looting, driven by hardship and poverty, the poor and marginalized bad to made branch of the destruction that is currently underway. as i said, shops have been looted an infrastructure has been destroyed. the violence sparked

by the imprisonment of former president jacob's duma, he's been jailed for 15 months for contempt of court. after not complying with an inquiry into corruption. his apply to the constitutional court to review the sentence that imposed, saying it's unconstitutional. many of whom and support to say, he's been jailed and daily and they've taken to the streets to voice their anger. but the government says what began a support was duma in the village natal province is now being driven by crime. at the small, in the way to south of johannesburg, police are powerless to thousands of people descend, grabbing whatever they can. many of the stools have been ransacked and the police, like we've spoken to have said, they simply don't have enough resources. effective been pushed back by these looters. some of them stationed with in the car park. as soon as any of the looters apprehended by police rocks, a throne and police have to leave. at least 6 people have been killed and more than

500 arrested. the unrest has caused public services in some areas to be suspended, including coven, 19 vaccination programs. and now the military is being sent in to help overwhelmed police. it's not certain how long the army will have to be deployed, but they all concerns at a high unemployment rate, worsened by a strict code that 19 locked down is contributing to the violence. and while boots on the ground may quote violence for now. so that because it cannot make and political problems may run far deeper. for me to miller, al jazeera johannesburg, to cuba, where the president is blaming outside forces and us sanctions for provoking the biggest anti government protests in decades. there is anger over a worsening economic crisis and the government's handling of the pandemic fighting between security forces and protesters as lead to international goals for dialogue . this report is from manuel wrapping of the streets of cuba capital oven,

and are mostly quiet after a weekend of nationwide demonstrations on monday queue was president miguel diaz addressed the country, accusing the united states of instigating the protest, processional capital. owing for in all these processes we've tried to confront and overcome in the face of the policy of economic suffocation, provoke social unrest and the country have cumulative effects. and i precisely believe that to day the problems we experience have to do with those cumulative processes. the unrest in cuba is taking place under a backdrop of one of the worst financial crises in years in 2020. the economy contracted by 11 percent due in part to economic sanctions put in place by the trump administration expert. however, the anger against the government has far deeper route. i'm not saying that the embargo did not create hardship or cuban people. of course, it also affect in the end,

it also affect q and b. but it's not the embargo. what prompted the people to go out st. the people are, are tired. the people are sad because the government is not changing the way of rule. the government is ruling like if they where $980.00. and they are not in a, it's not the same society is not the same cuban people. the protest over the weekend represent the largest social mobilization cuba has seen in almost 30 years. finally clashes with security forces prompted in international response in the us, the binded ministration called on the cuban government to listen to demonstrators. i don't think we've seen anything like that in a long time. of course, frankly, ever in the united states stands firmly with the people or q as they assert their universal rights. and because the government,

from acumen to refrain from violence or attempt to silence the voice of the people, or cube in mexico, president lopez over at or call for dialogue, as well as an end to us sanctions against the caribbean island nation. getting his no school on us, it has to be the cuban people who decide because cuba is a free, independent, and sovereign country. there should be no interventionism. though the streets of cuba capital have quieted down tensions were made with many seem the latest protests as the beginning signs of a new movement that seeks to reshape q was political system. multiple al jazeera, the u. s. justice department is going to help with the investigation of the assassination of haiti's. president jovan annoys in term prime minister soldiers that says his main focus is to find out exactly who was behind the murder last week . officers have arrested the van suspected of masterminding that the plot would get

an update on this with patty cole. hain in washington. exactly. watts help is the us offering patty. and i believe there's another connection as well, with a haitian based in miami, who is a person of interest now. so that's exactly right. and just to give you a sense of what the justice department just released a few hours ago, a statement saying that they are going to continue to help support the haitian government and entry view of the facts and the circumstances of the assassination of the haitian president. we didn't know that members of the f. b i, the federal bureau of investigation, members of homeland security, had been in haiti for just the day on sunday. we know that they briefed president joe biden early monday morning. now the justice department saying they're going to continue that cooperation, which i think a lot of people assume that that's what they were going to do, especially because as you mentioned, they're now 3 haitian americans, a patient, a sense that have been implicated by the haitian authorities they also did says

that they are going to look to see if there's any violation of us criminal law, because there's been some allegations that perhaps us security companies were involved in this. so it's really a very hard thing to try and figure out exactly what's going on in the investigation. very confusing, we've seen more than about to, doesn't come up. but colombians arrested many of them, the mass of the majority of them, former military, their relatives or say no, they were hired to be protection or to just arrest the president to move him to the palace. and then you have to asian americans are arrested in that 1st round up. and they say that they were just interpreters and they had no idea that the plot was to kill the president. and now you see the haitian authorities come out and they name somebody who calls himself a doctor. we don't know if he, in fact is. and he's and says that he was the mastermind he flew in to in a private jet. his goal was to take over the presidency. it's kind of hard to piece together exactly how that works because the man that they're pointing to christian manual son, so known, he filed for bankruptcy in the state of florida. just

a few years ago were talking about a really large invest to a large operation that would cost a whole lot of money. one would think. so now the f. b, i is going to lead it stamp of approval or disapproval from what seems a very confusing allegations that have been coming out of the haitian government. the meantime to you from the us perspective are see now a coordinated response, both from secretary state anti bully and to be blinking and president, you as president joe biden. both are scheduled to give remarks today and totally different subjects, and they both decided they wanted to bring up, not just cuba, but haiti, and their message was exactly the same. it said they need to come to a political solution to figure out who's leaving this country. as you know, there are 3 or 4 different politicians who say they are rightfully in charge and should take, take the intern presidency. so from a u. s. perspective, what we're seeing now is a coordinated effort to try and get all the different factions to come up with some sort of unity government that can proceed and take the country to the next round of

election of the u. s. had said they wanted to see that in september, but given the absolute chaos that is happening on the streets of haiti, lot of the opposition figure say that's not even remotely possible, but we're see now according to i've heard from the, by the ministration. they're not talking about sending us troops in, which is something that's something hated. they're talking about helping with the investigation, helping behind the scenes trying to get someone to be actually in charge of this country in crisis. patty, how home with that update on what's happening in haiti. thank you for that. patty. then the news ahead people rally in the philippines tomorrow. a legal victory on the south china sea of tension mount once again with china. and why more and more ask are applying for new passports back in a moment. ah, ah, it's too late for the journey with sponsored by kettle airways.
