1:03 pm
that's been running for almost a year now. and samuel, meanwhile, we've been seeing this real deterioration and security and a number of regions across the country for a variety of reasons, depending on the area. but how is the government addressing that does be actually have the resources and the political backing to deal with. i mean, the prime minister seems to have a wide spread support a uniform like support than many parts of the country still. but, you know, yoga again is an important country with a 110000000 people with an economy that's growing. but it's also dependent on aid. it's been having issues with the u. s. government u. s. h, which has been supporting aid or humanitarian assistance to some of the victims that have been coming forward since the beginning of the conflict. according to the u. n. a more than a 100 who are more than 1000000 people are facing famine and to go along the conflicts i'm in,
1:04 pm
i'm higher region and does see the conflicts we're we're seeing has overwhelming the need is huge. and it's also in our fi region. the government will be in the bay challenged position to address some of the challenges that countries facing. and this conflict is also pushing away some of their foreign investment that have been important to eat your best building. a new image being from i need depend on nation to an economy thus respected to the pilot. so will be busy from day one. i was suspect. i bad, samuel g attached you. then if you have a base, generally speaking to us from dessie, thanks so much samuel you now, so don's government has warned that the country is about to run out of medicine, fuel and wheat because of the closure of its main port. protesters have blocked roads around ports. you don against what they say is a lack of political power and poor economic conditions in that region. last saturday, you recall, they shut down the pipeline that carries oil to the capital cartoon. on people in
1:05 pm
students, eastern region say they've been politically and economically marginalized for decades. now. the so who juba agreement last year was meant to resolve a years long conflict. but those from the badger tribe say they're being excluded from it. in recent weeks, they've blocked roads and forced red seaports to close, including to critical pipelines. one of those brings oil to the capitol, and another transports oil exports from neighboring south sudan. community leaders eventually agreed to resumes our students, oil exports. after meeting with a government delegation though, the government has now put forward proposals to opening to open the remaining pipeline. but still demonstrations have continued elsewhere in the country while it speak to him morgan. she joins us from the capital cartoon here, but it really feels like the level of discontent is growing. how is the transitional government they're holding up? well 1st of all, let's remember that this government has been facing fuel shortages as well as
1:06 pm
shortage of medicine and wheat even before the closure off the port. this latest move by the easton protesters or processes in the east has simply accelerated or increase the problems and the shortages that the government is facing. now the government has called as a national priority, they say that they understand that the people in the is have the right to protest and have the right to voice their demands and concerns. but they also say that what they're doing, the closure of both, and the roads that lead to wreck the state is affecting not just the eastern states of red c casala and go about it. but it's affecting the whole nation. and that this is an issue of national concern. now the beecher council of elders have said that they will not open the road and they will not open the ports despite calls from the government to do so. the government has said that it wants dialogue, but they, the betia tribe says that they've offered a what they wanted, their voice, their demands, and the spoken to the government delegation that visited a week ago. but they have not seen any changes. so they say that what they're going
1:07 pm
to do next is going to escalate the situation that is bound to have terrible consequences on the capital. especially after the government has said that the situation is already dire when the pipelines were closed. just over a week ago, the government said that it had enough supply for 10 days now the pipeline that imports oil to sedan is yet to be open. so it's their concerns that they're going to be running out of that, and this will cause a crisis. let's not forget that the anti government protests that eventually ousted former president omnibus years started like versus started with shortages of fuel bread and wheat. so they are consensus. government is quite concerned that there will be more discontent, not just from the eastern tribes who are currently protesting, but nationwide had the morgan with all the latest there for us, from the sydney's capital cartoon. thanks so much. have a on a meeting on and jordan's king has denied the improper purchase of luxury homes abroad with more than a $100000000.00. he says they went disguised because of security needs,
1:08 pm
and those details were part of a huge leak of financial documents. said to be the secret assets and dealings of some of the wealth which his people rosalyn jordan reports. this lake is really kind of papers on steroids, world leaders, politicians, and billionaires with hidden vaults of wealth. a new chapter in a never ending story. the pandora papers is a leak of almost $12000000.00 documents that alleges, concealed assets, tax avoidance, and in some cases, money laundering by some of the world's richest and most powerful, more than $600.00 journalists in 117 countries have been sifting through files for months as part of the largest ever global financial investigation among its findings, king abdullah, the 2nd of jordan, who used shall companies to build a real estate or polio worth more than $100000000.00 with properties spanning malibu, washington and london has no indication of suggestion in our reporting,
1:09 pm
but this is indeed a legal, but i think we have certainly asked the king why, why these purchases made through show companies. why has none of this been disclosed? publicly, representatives of the king insist no wrong doing is involved. they told the consortium that he used his own money, not jordanian government funds to make these legal purchases. the reports also st. canyon president, a horrible kenyatta and his family have at least $30000000.00 in offshore accounts . mrs of president her for many years. and even a few years ago sat down with ha, a, b, b, c, interviewer, and said, if any one has something to tell us that we haven't been transparent about, let them tell us. and i suppose today with the pandora papers were doing just that other notable leaders with lucrative holdings. the former british prime minister, tony blair, who the consortium says, avoid it paying hundreds of thousands and property tax on
1:10 pm
a townhouse bike buying the company, which owned it. the check prime minister entre bobbitt up for reelection. the investigation found some of pakistani prime minister in wrong cons inner circle also benefit from offshore trots. he has vowed to punish lawbreakers. quote, my government will investigate all our citizens mentioned in the pandora papers. and if any wrongdoing is established, we will take appropriate action. some will question whether countries such as the u . s. and the u. k. are doing enough to regulate the use of shell companies and tax avoidance measures. analysts say this latest report makes it hard for citizens to trust their leaders, including in the middle east. and the edward exposes much more than just asking, he exposes this explicit actually he and, and money that is it, not exactly from this when an intersection between business and ernestine,
1:11 pm
the excuse of the, ah, the allegations and the pandora papers are just that allegations. there is no proof that leaders mentioned in the stories broke any laws, whether those laws should be changed is a matter for public debate. rosalind jordan al jazeera washington as well, lebanon, which is dealing with a severe economic crisis, has had some of its top political leaders featured in those pandora papers. they include the current and former prime ministers, as well as the governor of lebanon central bank. oh, let's not speak as anna couldn't. she is in the capital favorite for us. then it has already been so much angleton, imagining this hasn't come as any great surprise to people that well, the pandora paper is what they revealed really is this tiny nation, lebanon has the highest number of offshore companies, more than 300 higher than the u. k. higher than france, and like you mentioned,
1:12 pm
people are not shocked. that is yet another scandal. but if you ask any lebanese today, and they say, well, we know we know our leaders are corrupt. we took to the streets 2 years ago to demand a new leadership. we could no longer put up with a political class that has been governing this country for decades of political class, responsible, and really blamed for nearly bankrupting the states. years of mismanagement, the lebanon's financial losses is at between $90.00 to $100000000000.00. the money that has been spent over the past few years, there's little to show for it, whether it's in roads or facilities or the public sector, which more and more people are coming to rely on because of the economic collapse, education, health care, they're not meeting the needs of the people and the state, the electricity company has all but collapsed. so people are not shocked. one of the names, the veterans, central bank governor, the odd salome, he is already under investigation in france and in switzerland. there are alleging that he a master's personal fortune by abusing abusing his power. so yes,
1:13 pm
people are not shocked, but at the same time, the continued to demand accountability. but there is little accountability and transparency in a country like lebanon. or speaking of van in a given, the stature of the people who have been named in these papers is there actually like to be any further fall out from this? well, on the domestic level, there's really little people can do. they've taken to the streets. they've protested, they've clashed with security forces, but those in power, they control, they control the country, they control the judiciary, they control the executive branch of government, the legislative branch of government, and they also control the security forces. so people were really up against the military faith and even if some of them now are planning to channel their energy towards elections early next year, the electoral law in place really benefits of those in power. so people were hoping that the international community would do something,
1:14 pm
the international community did put pressure on the political class, telling them back to you and will no longer be bailed out. any international assistance is dependent on reforms. you need to reform states institutions and fight corruption, but many really are skeptical of any real change at the end of the day. these are politicians bankers, they're all allied with each other, and they have vested interests and they're not going to go against each other. and they control the country then a holiday with all the latest for us from beverage. thank you, diana. well, there's still plenty more had here this news are including allegations that canceling to federal minister ran over the demonstrators at a farmer's protest in india. a spanish government pledges and aid package to help la paloma recover from its still interrupting volcano. we live on the island with all the length and 7 times super bowl champion, tom brady says another nfl record piece. it will tell you all about that. ah,
1:15 pm

1:16 pm
continuing to occur around 22 percent of fuel stations down there are suffering from outages are essentially dry. the petrol station where i am at the moment on the, in the west is very much at the city center. it does have a couple of the pumps shots on, but the others are operating normally on. there has been no panic, buying or cues that we've witnessed while we've been here. we all me all coming in some of the lakes of h to some people's opinion. i'm starting in the south and east. they've been training for the last few days in essex to the east of london. and they will be assisting the hgtv tanker drivers to try to get up petrol to where it's mostly that the numbers are small. i have to say this around 65 drivers actually starting maximum around a 100. it will be used at the peak of this. what school operation escal in. i'm not really as a drop in the ocean when you consider that the full extent of the shortage of dr.
1:17 pm
is his round 100000. that they actually need in order to make sure that the supply chains continue and poll, given the situation i expect, as some crisis management going on at the tori conference today. well, the story conference is taking place, not a mile from where i'm standing. and i have to say that they are bracing, sorry, braving the storm. i'm frankly, boris johnson. when he spoke at the start of the conference saying, as you mentioned in the introduction that this is a period of transition that the u. k. is he's trying to steer it from a low wage, low skill economy to a high wage high school economy that he was not going to pull on the uncontrolled. busy lever of, sorry, on the leave of uncontrolled immigration. he said britain for too long had relied on a low wage immigrants immigrant labor in order to get jobs done. and he said those days were now over. that said,
1:18 pm
he said that the fact is that will be shortages and it's just a necessary that a pain that is required in order to transition to a better future. so he's not, some is not barring, even though the, the army is, is on the streets at delivering fuel in some parts of this country. pull brennan, there for us at a petrol station in manchester. thank you for or the least 8 people have been killed in northern india after violence broke out there during the fall. miss protest crowds and oh, to pradesh, surrounded vehicles that were reported dealing to a federal minister. farmers group say one of those cause ran over protesters and then demonstrators then sent via set vehicles on fire. tens of thousands of from has been camping on major highways for months. now propose new agricultural laws and is withdrawn him has moved from new denny. the farmers protests have been going on for nearly a year, and in that time we have seen on several occasions,

1:20 pm
was put under hop house arrest, so that he couldn't travel to the district. and when he tried to stage a protest outside his home, he was taken away by police. what police are also doing, though, is investigating india's junior home minister, i, j, miss your son, osh, mr. and 10 others for murder. that's after farmers alleged that osh mr. i was in one of the 3 cars that was part of the convoy that attacked farmers. the missions deny that they say that farmers attack the cars force and the vehicles to lose controls and to american scientists have been awarded. this is noble prize for medicine. david julius an item past pooty and was singled out for their discoveries, and recept is the temperature and touch. the nobel committee secretary general called the discoveries crucial to us survival. let's now speak to poor ease. he is across all this forest and thought, this is the fast of
