won the cato catalyst gateway to whoa trade with bold, and i'm told stories from asia and the pacific on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera. ah. hello, there, i miss darcy. attain. this is news. our line from our headquarters here in durham, coming up in the next 60 minutes. if you appears prime minister abbey, i meant is sworn in for a challenging 2nd term as that conflict in the northern te gray region wesson's warnings that sudan is about to run out of medicine, fuel and wheat. after the closure of its main course, un says possible war crimes have been committed during the conflict and libya with

migrants and detainees, particular vulnerable and to us, scientists are awarded the nobel prize for medicine. unlocking one of the secrets of nature. above you descend with your sport, tom brady and the hon. susie's legendary students with another record, and organize this for beijing. 2022 of those 4 in athletes. muffin, vaccinated competing upcoming test events. ah, well if you appears prime minister are be asked med has been sworn in for a 2nd term after he and his party secured a landslide victory in june's elections. he has described the pole as ethiopia as 1st attempted a free and fair vote. vote vote was overshadowed by that conflict and t gray, where hundreds of thousands are now facing famine. meanwhile, there are also reports of fighting and western ethiopia between rebel groups and

security forces. it's already displaced thousands of people just since sunday. a news is also emerging of a mass kidnapping that took place last month in that same region. well, let's now speak to catherine story. she's in nairobi in neighboring kenya. catherine abbey. a 2nd term isn't uncontroversial, especially given what's happened in tea. ryan, the choice to kick out senior un officials. it's been one almost 2 years exactly since he won the nobel peace prize. and i'm wondering how is he now viewed in ethiopia and by the international community or. and since he won that a nobel peace prize, he's entry into the leadership of the country was received very favorably by a few pins. a lot of the philippines expected him to be the change that they needed, but if you speak to some of them now they're saying that they feel disillusioned. he has a lot of supporters. so who

a lot of supporters who say that he is doing the best he can. and of this, under the circumstances, especially when it comes to dealing with issues with the t glad crow crisis. but some, our analysts, some if europeans are saying that he has and handled that t gray crisis and other crisis across the country, a very well and he needs to do better to regain the confidence of many, if your parents, when you go to the international community he's confident the confidence of you that the international community has also waned. he, there has been a lot of diplomatic tensions between his government and his key allies. for example, the usa european union, who are key funders, were key. who provide a key foreign aid to the country. many europeans still rely on foreign aid. and you know, if your p r r b s, government needs this international community to be able to do their job well. but with all this tensions going on in the pressure that is mounted on the government,

a lot of people are saying that he does need to do better, especially when it comes to the security situation in the country. of course and catherine, we're seeing a deterioration right now in this is the security situation of various different reasons, various different regions. i'm sorry and, and for various different reasons and different places. now i wonder, does the government actually have the resources and does abby have the political backing to actually address all of this? well again, it depends on who you talked a lot of his supporters and you know, government officials are saying that he does have the car, the good you know, the backing of a big portion of the country. a lot of people are saying that they want him to focus on the security situation. they want him to focus, particularly on the crisis in t grey. he says he has the backing for that. he had the resources of for that, but we have seen more and more gains being made by to grand forces. we have seen at

the government, sort of playing the back foot solar of people are saying that they need that handled and dis, besides that, as you mentioned, we have, you know, ethnic divisions and tensions in different parts of the country. the area you talked about in there are in the west or better go moves where fighting has been going on. thousands of people have been displaced. others have been abducted. the fighting is going on. we have an ethnic divisions and fighting in other parts of the country as well. so a lot of people are saying that this should be the priority of the prime minister going forward. and we're also seeing that the economy is a kind of struggling. i mean, if europe is economy has been a very strong one of the fastest growing economy in the continent, but we're seeing it struggling. and people are saying that he really needs to do better to boost the confidence of ethiopian. and to gain back that confidence that

he had when he 1st to power catherine. so i there across all that for us from nairobi. thank you so much. catherine. on as to dawn's government, meanwhile has won that that country is about to run out of medicine, fuel and wheat because of the closure of its main port protest as of blocked roads around ports. you don against what they say is a lack of political power and poor economic conditions in the region. last saturday, your record, they shut down a pipeline that carries oil to the capital cartoon on people into john's eastern regions, say they've been politically and economically marginalized for decades now. the so called juba agreement last year was meant to resolve a years long conflict. but those from the beach of tribe say they're being excluded from it. in recent weeks, they blocked roads and forced red seaports to close, including to critical pipelines. one of those that brings oil to the capital and another transports oil exports from neighboring south to dawn. community leaders eventually agreed to resume south sudanese oil exports after meeting with

a government delegation. and the government has now put forward proposals to try to open the remaining pipeline. but still demonstrations have continued elsewhere in the country. madeau has more now from the eastern port city of ports. you don, there is very little activity going all not pulled. so done that be jer tribesmen will, protesting what they call marginalization by the government up. but it came in the gates to the port with huge rocks and also have lined the gates to the polt. a with protest us will holding homes to ensure that nothing exists or nothing and passed the port. and there was a delegation from the government led by competent ministers. and the only thing of the days of negotiations that they were able to go back with was m a yes. to the expedition of south sudanese oil from these port please bolt is a mid july flag or just full sudan,

but also for neighboring cells. have done the 164000 bottles of oil, salsa, don, producers, every day are exported through these port m and m. right now, the government is complaining that there is a shortage of medicines and vital commodities. and it says, these cannot continue with holes. the actuals of the b j at tribesmen who have a cut it these auction out as criminal unsafe that will not allow them to continue holding the government hostage. however, talking to some of the bigger protest as they told us, that they will stay put, they will not move on it until the government accepts to listen to their grievances . on top of that is what they say that they were not consulted when the government signed the dba peace accord with other armed groups in the country. well, let's get more on this now. exclude cass, she's

a managing partner inside strategy partners and she joins us from cotton colon, you in the sydney's capital. so i start by asking you for your assessment just how diane this is right now. how acute are the shortages and how long do you think they could continue? the shortages are not new, and they're certainly, you know, back with a vengeance. now, i think that the main worry at the moment is that in a few days time by next week in 2 weeks time, situation will become so dire. so as to be, you know, very much the same conditions we saw before the form appreciate which was a very tense time. and you know, this is all sort of comes down to that initial current, which is that, you know, the minute the government is lost, the united government as indians and their military. i'm, they just don't see i to i and on under lot of issues. and in recent tensions have, you know, precipitated this current state as well, which is that and, you know, regional issues such as related to the east are now becoming you know, chips that, that can be sort of used as,

as by different parts of the government to exert pressure on the other to try and sort of win that battle in the balance of power within the transition period. but of course, this has real like implications to the people that are in a lifesaver, medication weeds perpetual other necessary every day. necessities are now. i'm very much in short, supply and dwindling even more opposed to that, that the hazard is it also within the east where, you know, the biggest sort of leaders are impacting these embargoes on the port bear constituencies to we'll soon see a lot of sham bolted is and we'll be putting pressure on them as well, or how much is all of their santa threats to the actual transitional government, especially after that q last month. could we potentially see this all fall apart? well, i mean we've been teetering close to the edge for a while now. i think last week's too was sort of a punctuation point in this sort of transition. so far, what we have seen is a lot of exchanged in a heated rhetoric that sort of ratcheted up the tension. and it's now become more

than a war of words. it's become, you know, am dead a dynamic as harmful dynamic that could harm the general public and had people across the country. what we need to see is a sort of reconciliation of some sort that will allow at least basic necessities to be added to, to stop being used as, as, you know, point scoring credits between the military and civilian. but of course, you know, the thing that has to be said here is that, you know, the civilians have been reasonably, i'm sort of open with the military about working together and been, they've been reaching out and sort of putting across the olive branch onto the miniature and just haven't seen as much of that from the military side. and so to what extent now pretty can be applied in the military, which sees itself as the stronger in this current crisis remains to be seen. certainly fresh from the streets will help me. so i am a lot of pressure through demonstrations last week in relation to the coup, but also in relation to the gara military's rhetoric and response to the curb and

not necessarily just the to attempted to itself. and there is some debates about whether this constituted a clue in the 1st place. but the point is that the crew can look like very many different things, you know, stopping a mid the main artery. and from the main ports on delivering necessities in order to push for action against o, pressure against civilians. also a type of crew are more of a pre to sort of activity. so we need to be careful about what's happening, surely is digging it, stick it very loosely. i do want to argue, i'm sorry to interrupt a little more about the demonstration of that we've been seeing as well. i am curious how united and organized the protest movement is that we've actually been seeing on the streets periodically. is there a particular group or a political movement that's driving out? so there are lots of factionalism within the streets within patricky, the civilian and that sort of umbrella, that as it was, the,

is the custodian sort of, of the, of the political mission throughout that. so throughout the transition, what we're seeing is different parts of the civilian government, particularly within the cabinet. and it's sort of breaking away from the freedom forces or freedom and change umbrella. and all these factions sorta coming to the for now what we are seeing is the street is not very receptive at the moment to this new break away fashion. and they very much believe in the old project of, of the old fashion because they see as sort of untainted then to this new fraction represents cigna trees of the edge of a peace agreement, mostly rubble, groups and some reported islamist and, and sort of hold over when the sharing the lot of lack of trust with this new ad breakaway faction, the street itself as far as the public is concerned, has sort of really galvanized after last week's crew attempts and subsequent and developments in order to present at least a force and to show what they're against it, not necessarily yet. what they are for color, declare they're

a managing partner at inside strategy, upon a speaking to us from cartoon. really great to get your expertise here with us and out there. thanks for joining us. colored engine. oh, security forces are saying that fighters have killed at least 8 soldiers and injured 5 others and northern became a faster that attacked a pace in san montagnier province. no group has yet claimed responsibility for the incident. hello, still plenty more had for you. this news our, including by the u. k prime minister is calling the current fuel crisis. an adjustment period for brits allegations that cause linked to a federal minister ran over demonstrators at a farmers protest and india and 7 time super bowl champion, tom brady said another nfl record teaser will tell you what that is in support. ah,

are you an investigation? says all sides in libya's conflict have committed violations that may include war crimes, details, accounts of murder, torture enslavement and rape. libby has been marred by conflict since the death of its former ruler mcduffy back in 2011 with rival administrations fighting for power . on joining us now from rome is claudia cassini, she is international crisis group senior analyst for libya, caught it. this has been a brutal conflict. so this report doesn't come as a massive surprise. but does this level of detail now these documentary crimes? will it lead to more accountability? well actually this report that was published today is just the beginning of the process, the commission, this mission, that was the fact finding mission was supposed to deliver its final report by now. but actually was very late in having its presence on the ground,

even in the report. they say that until this june, they weren't fully operative. so the conclusions in this report are, let's say, rather superficial. they just admit that they, these crimes took place. but without the level of detail, they don't name individuals, they don't point to specific countries except for mentioning them as supporting the conflict. so there's not that level of detail needed for really specific follow up accountability. so it may not name individuals, but i do see that it did name the libyan coast guard as an organization is having mistreated migrants handing them over, for instance, to detention centers where there's high incidence of rape and torture. and i know there's also been a huge crack down on my grants in recent days. the coast guard, for instance, gets you support and funding. do you see that changing in the aftermath of something like this? i doubt so. i mean, we've been, we've all known and indeed also european member states that corporate with that have been co coast guys have been aware of these abuses that take place both at sea

and on land in the detention centers. and despite all of that, they have continued to fund and corporate with the coast guards unless they're specific, some individuals that are named it's, it's hard for them to be brought to justice. and i doubt, given the pressure on european member states, italy in particular because of the flow of migrants. i doubt that they will be stopping or changing their cooperation programs with the coast guards and relevant authorities as a result of this report in its current state. so well, this whole conflict really became a proxy conflict between so many foreign powers. and we also know they were messing aries involved. the report does talk about russian military pass. now from the wagner group, do you have a sense of whether there still many of them in country? the information that we have is, of course,

that during the conflict there were wagner, russian private military contractors. the report also mentions syrian pro turkey fighters on the ground, including under age fighters. the mention of that, as far as we know, they are still mercenaries on both sides. some syrians were withdrawn in the past few weeks. we do not have information of the wagner, russian forces having withdrawn. so our assumption is that they are, these 2 groups exist as well as other fighters from neighboring countries to denise antigens mainly. and we'll see how this whole process continues to unfold. cody cassini there from international crisis group, yessenia analyst for libya. great to get you insights and thoughts. thanks for joining us. thank you. british prime minister parish johnson says the recent fuel shortages and rising costs are an adjustment period for the u. k. he made those

comments during his party's annual conference. now military personnel have started delivering supplies to petrol stations across britain. meanwhile, some pharmacies are also experiencing delays and delivering medicine. the supply chain chaos has been caused by brick set and a shortage of truck drivers. pul brennan has worn out from the petrol station in manchester. the on the is largely concentrated in london on the southeast of england, where the main shortages are occurring at the moment. i have to say the petro retailers association, which has been taking straw polls over its petrol for court members. during the course of the past week, they actually say that the crisis is all but over in scotland, wales, the north, the midlands. and really it's only in london and the southeast were shortages are 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 of furniture to city center, it does have a couple of pumps, shots, but the others are operating normally on. there has been no panic buying or queues that we've witnessed while we've been here. the army all coming in, somewhat belatedly for some people's opinion on 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 that will to where it's mostly that the numbers are small. i have to say around 65 drivers are actually starting a maximum around a 100. it will be used at the, 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 drivers is around 100000. that they actually need in order to make sure that the supply chains continue. well, that's having an allen wager he is joining us from london, where he's a research associate at the changing europe initiative at kings college london.

allen is a, been a lot of anger and frustration in the u. k. at the moment. presumably that's shaping political sentiment. how did people assess the government now near door, this crisis and chaos? well, one thing we maybe would have expected would be a drop in conservative support as a result of the shortage is in the chaos we've seen. we haven't actually seen that the through into both intentions for the parties. what we have seen is, for example, big increase in the amount of people that say for example, the bricks is going badly and the bricks, it is the cause of this disruption. so essentially, over the long term, this could become a bit of a problem for the conservatives, particularly if, as organizations like the road hood situation is saying, this is something that will last throughout the winter as we see other elements of chaos and destruction as well. so at the moment now in the government remains sort of inch laces from, from some of this politically, but they're sort of the, the on,

on the, the, the sort of the lights flashing in the, on the conservative dashboard it be like, as it looks of the of the state of opinion polls of the moment i saw him while forest on center saying this is all just a period of adjustment that it was inevitable with brakes. it is the electric actually buying a so at 1st the conservative government said that these shows years and these labor problems were nothing to do with breaks it. and then they conceded that they were to some extent to do with breaks it. and now they say that they are, everything's do with breaks it and that this is a positive thing, because this shows that the u. k. labor market is adjusting to become a sort of high wage economy where to fill things like shortages in the number of h, g, b drivers. there are companies will have to start paying more. but the problem is that this will then feed into things like inflation over over the winter, and, and so, yes, the, is it a post talk rationalization for, for this event, that it's actually a consequence of directed? and that's actually quite a positive thing is likely to unravel over this in

a medium to long term for the government. or there were warnings about all of this riot in the rather prolonged lead up to brick set. now, adjustment period on, on, do you think the government actually did what it needed to do to try to prepare for any of this mass? now? i think the government thought that with the deal it signed in december of last year and it avoided a no deal breaks it and the warnings that came along with that and the, the effects of bricks it on things like shortages would be in a sense, hidden by the disruption caused by the pandemic. but what we say now, as the economy moves out of the pandemic, is, is the you guys is, nor is it is more likely to be affected by things like what is a global shortage of hgtv driver's d u. k. is uniquely positioned in the fact that it doesn't have access to the u. k to the single market and, and the, and the labor that comes from the, from the single market. why, other comparable countries like germany or france on seeing these aren't seen the

short to say so yes, in fact, the government hasn't done enough. and most of the trade organizations are sort of up in arms if you like. but at the lack of sort of planning that's taking place in the u. k. government, over the last year as it prepares for what was sort of an inevitable if like outcome breaks it, you mentioned this is going to continue through the winter. how do you see this going over christmas? are there going to be present under trees, turkeys on tables? well, what the government said is it won't be as bad as last christmas will last christmas . the, our government forbid anyone from going to anyone's house during christmas and christmas was to that effect to be effectively as the council in the u. k. so in the government setting quite a low low barrier for success. the b like in terms of comparing it to the loft or something. what we will see is certainly the shortage of some food products. and so i think that, you know, the as the trade associations and are saying that that is inevitable. but we don't know is whether it be known, for example,

because of cobit people are sort of more used to things got this little disruption, whether that weren't have the political effects that maybe it would have had in days past that something that we were still really unsure of as we go into this winter, very interesting times allen ways. are there a research associate at the change in europe initiative at kings college, anton? great to have you on out there. thanks for joining us on. things on chinese housing giant. ever. grand has now had its share suspended as investors a ways a statement about its future. the firm said the trade holds in hong kong came ahead of announcement of a major transaction. ever grand has run into trouble over the last few months as beijing tightened rules and the property sector to reign in debt levels. the company's shares have fallen by nearly 80 percent, only since the start of this year on south career says and to restore the communication channel with north korea kung, cut that hotline back in august in protest against military relevant sol conducted

with united states. but since then, north korea has indicated and might hold talks with its southern neighbour. rather brian has worn out from hong kong on what all that means that both sides, these hot lives are very important. they are the lines of communication across the dmc between the north and the south. it prevents any accidental misunderstandings. it's very important that they are kept open, given the fragility of relations and the, the amount of armament along the d, m. z. now they tend to be cotton restored depending on how relations are at any given point in time. and of course, with the dip in relations that we saw in the last year or 2 with the ab, with the ending alpha negotiations over at north korea's nuclear arsenal. dose st, all those talks became stalled. the lot, reacted very badly to that. and it was in june of last year that they took the step of cutting all of the communication lines and even going as far as destroying with explosives the liaison office that had been set up. what during better times be

when relations were, were better between the north and the south. so it is important that they are kept open or they were cut to months ago, again because of the north, protesting against military exercises in the south, the southeast, hoping that this time they will stay up a fo a permanently because they are hoping that this could be done, we have to use the caveat said that it, this is only a possibility that there might be a start now of better relations. but certainly the south is as welcome this move and saying that it could now stabilize and restore relations with the north while staying in the region and japan's new prime minister for me. ok, she there has called a general election for october 31st. politicians and both parliaments officially elected casita as prime minister. now he is replacing your shaheed, a suger who announced his resignation last month for 3 reports. to me you case, she death one party pulls to the japan's governing liberal democratic party or l d

p. last week has been elected by both houses of the japanese parliament is in accordance with article 18 paragraph 2 of the rules of the house representatives soon. okay, she dies hereby nominated as prime minister of japan. his 1st order of business was to select his cabinet. there were 13 new faces out of 20 posts. but many important portfolios are going to powerful factions that voted for kisha in the party election. his predecessor, yoshi, he de suger, had announced last month that he would not be seeking re election as party leader. after less than a year in office. suger approval ratings had plummeted for his handling of the pandemic. and his insistence on holding the summer olympics, despite public health concerns, he should, her inherits an economy that's been battered by the pandemic. in his 1st news conference after being elected to lead the audi p last week,

he promised to rejuvenate the economy and introduce a large stimulus package. here was older now to the time to realize positive cycle for growth and distribution and delivered fruits of growth throughout the country. as prime minister, he will also have to deal with an increasingly assertive china and security threats from north korea. but key should as 1st challenge will be leading his party in the general elections, which local media report will be held on october 31st, a few weeks earlier than expected. some analysts say it's likely kishana is hoping to take advantage of a honeymoon period, usually given by the electorate to new governance, florence louis al jazeera while it is time now for the weather and his j. hi there, good to be with you. the risk of flooding for southern india, we have red weather alerts in play for careless state, but also could see heavy amounts of rain for karnataka and into town on that. do
