5:04 am
a here that the these were very tough negotiations. north korea's scrambling to do with what's believe to be a major coven 19 outbreak. 6 new deaths were reported on tuesday with the for the 270000 people, showing fever like symptoms. health officials say 62 people have died and nearly 1500000 people fallen ill since late april. it came from owns blaming his own health officials for being irresponsible in the distribution of the national medicine reserves robert brides joining us now from. so robert sounds as though whatever this is i is sweeping through north korea. what's the situation like there it is extremely alarming, especially when you consider that until less than a week ago. this didn't officially exist. now we have a national crisis on our hands or by north korea's own admission. at the latest
5:05 am
estimates point to around possibly one and a half 1000000 people are possibly having contracted at some sort of fever. most of those cases believe to be the only cron variant of co bids or many of those people having recovered or it's very difficult to tell because of course, there is a shortage of testing in north korea to test just how far this sir may have spread you know, famously north korea has said for 2 and a half years now that it is not had any cases of co vetted as kept its borders pretty much permanently sealed. and it stopped the, the, the virus from getting into north korea and a, but with this admission, a lot of a tension is now being paid to some of these events that have been held recently in pyongyang and other places in north korea, marking large anniversaries where we've seen big parades, we've seen large gatherings of party members, large cheering crowds, with a lot of speculation about whether this army kron has been spreading all this time silently,
5:06 am
possibly people being asymptomatic. and all of these are but large events of turning out to be spread or events. so it's difficult to say just have a big this will become but certainly kim jong. ready is extremely concerned a, the leadership of north korea announcing this emergency. he has been featured leading meetings being seen out visiting pharmacies as directed their health officials after criticizing them now to a get therapeutics and for our pharmacy products out to people. and also bringing in the military, but of course, north korea remains extremely vulnerable and because it's one of only 2 countries in the world that has not been vaccinated. and of course, there is widespread malnourishment and a medical system that is a shaky at best and south korea's new president joseph jose been offering aid to north korea. in fact, he was offering unlimited aid to the north if it was requested. what are the like? what's the likelihood, do you think that the north is going to accept aid offers from outside
5:07 am
and throughout all of this, north korea has been strangely resistant to offers of help even from its neighbors and their allies, such as china that has been offering testing and also a vaccines also from kovacs, the ag, the global initiative to provide vaccines, north korea has been resistant to those offers. it seems that a north career, it's a combination of being a, being very choosy about the types of vaccines it will allow into north korea. but then also there is an, almost almost a paranoia with the north koreans about allowing in any foreign experts, any foreign aid, we've seen a food imports emergency food being held up of the borders. for example, for the fear that it might somehow be contaminated by cov, it's so they are concerned about that they're concerned about international monitoring that might come along with accepting any aid. and then of course, from a domestic point of view, after saying for 2 and a half years, it has this under control is one of the few places in the world that doesn't have
5:08 am
the, the, a cove it. and army kron that. now it is an a crisis and it is accepting all of this, a packaging from abroad, with foreign labels, et cetera, that it has to, to, to ask the rest of the world to help it out of this crisis. rob, thanks very much indeed. those drug more bright following that story from sol, attentions high in occupied east jerusalem after the killing of al jazeera journalist, shewn a barclay last week. her death said are one of the largest displays of palestinian support in a generation. in a latest incident, dozens of people have been injured after israeli police force would mourners at the funeral of a young palestinian man. he died and saturday after being wounded by israeli forces . when the storm, the alex um last compound and occupied east jerusalem last month. sort of highlight reports from there, the security forces class and entered into a funeral procession that's being held for a young, a palestinian man, he's in

5:13 am
given previous investigations, no one here or indeed members of the family. hold out any hope that that will be an independent investigation. and indeed sharina acclaim. family are saying that they would like an independent international investigation, but calls for that so far have not been heated m. ron con, out is era occupied east jerusalem. still had an al jazeera, the u. s. is revising its policy towards cuba. what the move could mean for those living on the island and family members in the us. and we look at the so called great replacement theory and how it's feeling racist violence in the us. ah, the journey has begun. the 34 world copies on its way to catherine book, your travel package to day. there it is, the season for rain,

5:15 am
of course is still heat in the northwest of india. and in pakistan, having seen 51 degrees and jacob about just a few days ago, we see a bit of a relief for the heat wave is once again building to watts 50 official ally of the journey. ah, the shake hum odd award for translation and international understanding is accepting nominations for the year 2022 from february 15th until august, 15th this year for more information go to w, w w dot h t a dot q a slash e n ah, with

5:17 am
cuba rolling back some sanctions imposed by donald trump. the new measures include fewer restrictions on the flow money sent to families in cuba, as well as fewer curbs on travel and faster visa services. these are the most significant changes in washington's approach to habana, since president joe biden took office cube was welcome to move as a small step in the right direction. also, maria pie as executive director of the foundation for pon american democracy. she's joining us from miami, florida. good. have you with us, ma'am on al jazeera. thank you very much indeed. what is this going to mean for the people of cuba? first of all, thank you so much for having me and. and actually we are struggling with understanding the whole, these whole move i'm in the gone buttons show by the, by the team with being divided administration. that is in charge of taking these, the upgrade use me goes because in this moment
5:18 am
in wish they keep them people this face in massive regression in many with 24 hours, they go the human. were you just while british a new set of laws to basically sit at with that death penalty to any cuban that there's to think different to do have an administration that is prefer marion to gone play. you can play with the mass of the, of the given the data sheet and having it feels of approval into easier than a. so all the demands of the people that and that has to be a incompetence that story, that 3 posted by the boy. but there for an affair, minister of faith that's actually embarrass him for a full press. and by then and that prove that these measures fall into the narrative of the human regime. would it therefore have been better if i understand
5:19 am
you correctly for the us simply to have done nothing a toll and to carry on with the level of sanctions that had been imposed under donald trump to an outsider like myself. one would imagine that even the prospect of being able to send money back to families in cuba to be able to travel to see members of your family in cuba would at least be a positive thing from an individual's point of view. look some aspects as the one that talks about we stablish to cuba and probably the geisha program could have beneficial consequence for the given people. but please may not mistake. they're responsible for the separation of the given families. is that given regime and not be government of united states? and there is another aspect here that is very rest and, and he's there with these announcements administration is somehow leaving in today
5:20 am
. migration blackmail that was worsley created by that human reason why we are talking at least 80 south and gilbert. and i look at that number. 80 south and cuban ha. irregular cross the seldom border of the united states in what appears to be a coordinated operation. be doing the human region beneath that one regime the review of the day. so she's done, you know, that, that sold only remove the visa restriction for cuban in, in november last year. what do you think therefore, is the motivation behind the, by the ministration for doing this at this particular time? well, i think that day by then on the say she has been on the a lot of pressure from the human regime and its allies, it accomplices in the real at it. it could be, it could be the government of mexico that is for that. and it was not quite the bed
5:21 am
and on the side of the america that is going to take place in next year in, in los angeles, if they do not invite the cuban region. imagine so imagine that day that day president from mexico, if side in with their worst, they base their ship bed we have in the continent. by the way, the states are ship that he's also siding with the regime and he's also supporting the invasion of ukraine. instead of, instead of the man, then it boasted exchange for the, or the cuban or the queue on people. i suppose that that pressure, in addition to day to the black males, created by the immigration crisis, created by the human region, have had an impact on the, on the administration. but this is also a back note on a step forward. biggers, a last norm are we, we heard the cuban people,
5:22 am
johnson freedom in this 3. and today, hundreds of the few ones that took do this, did it last summer? are you re sun because the fact that they were standing, we don't, and they answer divided. i'm going to say she has been remittances that's just on the play that's toward that even people is asking for freedom, not for not for for remy dentist. summary of time. we appreciate you being with us on i'll just hear and i'm thank you very much indeed. for your time thank you so much. well, and another reversal of his predecessors decision president joe biden's approved a plan to redeploy hundreds of troops back to somalia. the goal is for them to help the fight against the andre. i'll shut up the and i spent follows the election of a new president and share my mood is taking charge of somalia faces more attacks by arms fighters. i want to remind that those forces, as they have been, will continue to be used in training, advising,
5:23 am
and equipping partner forces to give them the tools that they need to disrupt. degrade and monitor our bob. our forces are not now, nor will they be directly engaged in combat operations. the purpose here is to enable a more effective fight against bob by local forces, which and bob has increased in their strength and poses a threat to law. he bought a hello. hey, is horn of africa security analyst, and he says it's unlikely that sending more troops to somalia will be a viable solution in the long term. just to give you a sense between when you know the period when the united states pulled out its troops, then on many let's be honest. it's something like $700.00. and you know this, the number would rise to 750. if that can stabilize the entire somalia, we'll be having different conversation. i mean, so has been somalia for 15 years. 15 years. and now it's transition to
5:24 am
african transitional mission in somalia. and there are fundamental problems that have not been dissolved despite this transition. despite this relationship, the relationship between mogadishu and federal member states is not great. and then the amount of money on that is the stability. the sustainability of the un peacekeeping mission in somalia is not very strong even before, but now that the e u has transitioned the way it's going to find african peacekeeping mission that will make it even further more difficult. troops contributing countries that is the neighboring countries and countries from elsewhere that i've got troops that is close 220222000 forces inside somalia, not pursuing a unified agenda. they are pursuing parallel, you know, individual agendas, and that all those problems are there. 700 troops coming back in american troops not is coming in, will not solve such structural problems. i think my,
5:25 am
my sense is that, you know, it's largely designed to count to other countries that have interest in somalia on their home, off the rate. see, well, isn't it says western back military officers a term to the crew last week, but it hasn't provided any details. the statement comes out to be an army announced it was pulling out of a regional alliance. fighting on groups in the south region saying there had been little progress of this report from doc. it's interesting to note as, as this coup attempt happened when the un secretary general was in the region. now, he skipped molly despite as being the home of the most expensive, the most deadliest and biggest un peacekeeping operation. he says that the mill with the morgan military didn't need to hand overpowered to a civilian rule as soon as possible. it seems that the leadership in bama code is
5:26 am
increasingly isolated. not only is it facing the threat of arm groups linked to al qaeda and iso. its troops from the you are pulling out of the country including france. but it's also facing threats among its ranks, and this is creating even more instability in molly and more suspicion, suspicion amongst the rank of molly's leadership. families are the victims of the latest mass shooting in the us are renewing calls for restrictions and gun ownership. president joe biden will visit buffalo on tuesday with 10 people died and what's being described as a racially motivated attack. it's one of nearly 200 mass shootings this year in the u. s. which is the highest rate of gun related deaths in developing countries. he and my best friend how. how dear this needs to
5:27 am
be fixed. s a p. 's. mom we love from president binders. praise the bravery of police officers to try to stop a gunman during this shooting rampage in new york. please say 18 year old peyton gender deliberately targeted black people and was driven by the so called replacement theory. al jazeera, as alan fisher explains, it's the deadliest mass shooting of the year in the us and police say the know why the accused gunman did it. this was about killing black people as many as possible . we can't sugar coat it. we can try to explain it away, talking about mil to illness. no, this were the act of domestic air river em perpetrated by a young white supremacy before the shooting rampage. that left 10 dead, the 18 year old gunman posted an online screen claiming white people in america
5:28 am
were being replaced by people of color. it's called replacement theory. what we're seeing now is a subculture in elastic reservoir agreements. it takes all comers and some of them will get radical wise because you are a racist and zenith all the conspiracy theories attending to all went from colon and liberate the stage to stolen elections by african americans to african americans stealing our culture. and our school. when the fringe idea pushed by racists, it has become a popular theme for conservative media figures who reach millions. now i know that the left and all the little gate keepers on twitter become literally hysterical if you use the term replacement. if you suggest the democratic party is trying to replace the current electorate, the voters now casting mallets with new people, more obedient voters from the 3rd world. but they become hysterical because that's, that's what's happening. actually,
5:29 am
it's extraordinarily serious in part because of how far it's gone. and how, how deep into mainstream culture, this is the, these type of a white supremacist i'm talking points of have gone right because we hear them on, on fox news. we hear them coming out of tucker carlson stark, which a lot of people are talking about right now. but we also hear them out of republican politicians. it's not the 1st killing by self proclaimed white supremacists, pittsburgh charleston, south carolina, and even charlottesville, when right wing extremists chanted about replacement theories as they marched. have all been touched by the violence. a poor release last week, suggested one in 3 americans. believe there's a program underway to replace the was born in the u. s. with immigrants, for electoral gain, a theory that is becoming more extreme. and at the same time, more mainstream. i'll and fisher, i'll just either another sandstorms hit a rag sending hundreds of people to hospital with breathing problems. flights had
5:30 am
been suspended in baghdad and naja and some schools and officers had been forced to close. it's the 8th sandstone to hit since mid april. the sandstorms have been blamed on climate change and the destruction of agricultural lands. will i? our thought these storms have become monthly every 3 or 4 days they come back. it's due to climate change and the lack of brain when people feel suffocated and there's no oxygen and have to go get oxygen. ah, this is o da 0. these are the top stories, soldiers defending ukraine's 2nd largest city of hockey. eve say they've reached the border with russia. the defense ministry shared a video celebrations at a border marker. the video hasn't been independently verified, he cranes, president thanked troops in khaki, saying the nation owes them a debt of gratitude. north korea, scrambling to deal with what's b believe to be a major coven.
