12:03 pm
and food. color are 1st broke out in neighboring syria in early september. a month later, the 1st case was detected here, and you also mentioned that in the last 24 hours, you had the largest single day increase of color cases, already 3 deaths in lebanon. and this is a disease that can be easily treatable if people have access to proper health care . but as you can see, these are vulnerable communities. people who have little access to health care, especially in a country where the economy has all but collapse. so the disease is spreading due, united nations is saying that it is, it is evolving alarmingly, this is a serious crisis, but, you know, at the end of the day, it's going to be difficult to contain. it's in lebanon. if you do not contain it in syria and then syria, it has already spread to 13 of the 40 in governor it's and that's according to the world health organization. they're talking about thousands of color cases in syria
12:04 pm
and sixty's in syria as well. so this crisis or this disease, if you like, it's not slowing down, we're getting more cases as each day passes. as you say, it's not just confined to the refugee camps in lebanon. now they know what is the situation elsewhere in the country. and how is the government dealing with it? yes, it is now spreading outside refugee camps, particularly in a poor neighborhoods. i've spoken to a number of doctors who are working with the health ministry. what they're saying is that this is not just the job of the health ministry, but all the different ministries in lebanon need joint action. you're talking about the, the energy ministry, the water ministry. i just want to show you their bathrooms while we talk about what the government here is trying to do. this is a country which with the economy has all but collapse the hell the health care system has all the collapse. i mean, these are the bathrooms that, that people in refugee camps use. there is no united or coordinated response
12:05 pm
between the different ministries. and this is what doctors are saying if you do not contain it. now there's still a possibility. this is not just going to spread throughout lebanon, it could spread throughout the region where millions of people are going to be affected, both lebanon and syria. the water infrastructure has been badly damaged here because of years of neglect, decades of corruption list management in syria because of the war. more than 2 thirds of the water treatment plants in syria have been damaged. so this is a serious crisis. if the international community, as well as local organizations, do not come together to find some sorts of a coordinated response to contain it. so it doesn't spread further for further away from lebanon and syria. thank you for that xena hard to reporting their life from the a car refugee camp in northern lebanon in an edge area. more than 2 and a half 1000000 people are affected by some of the worse flooding. the country has

12:11 pm
for example, because of the contamination of the water sources and all others. so this is a problem that is continuing for a long time. authorities say they're breaking up for big disasters in the future for me. i'm of interest live in and i, jerry is bios estates in other world news, malaysia as a team suspected albert as working for israel intelligence agency mossad. they're accused of snatching a palestinian man from a street in the capital, kuala lumpur. and beating him as he was driven to a house there, he said to have been blindfolded and tied to a chair, then interrogated over video, called by moore, sad agents, police raided the building and attain. the kidnappers royce lee has more from kuala lumpur. the abduction took place late last month the to the palestinian man was having dinner with a friend outside a shopping mall in calling them for the incident happened at about 10 p. m. now they 2 were walking back to the cough to dinner. and that's when the abductors
12:12 pm
intercepted them just as they were about to get into the car. now one of them was beaten, and he was striped into one of 2 vehicles that was waiting. the other palestinian man managed to get away and he alerted the police and the man who was abducted, he was blindfolded. he was beaten. he was taken to a house on the outskirts of quality for still blindfold, that they've been tied to a chair beaten and interrogated. now he was interrogated by the video link and on the other side of the phone call, the video call were israeli agents. wonderful? me had apparently said, you know, while you're here now we do the local media report have not named the palestinians who since left the country. but we report said that he was a computer programmer now and report, he was reportedly asked about his, his expertise, what he knew about what the, what software the hamas was developing, what the cape abilities were, and what he knew about the outcome brigade,
12:13 pm
which is hum, office winged, what he knew about its members and what he knew about their strengths. now, the abductors were reported the are reportedly or malaysian now 11 people have been charged in court, but they have reportedly bungled. the operation watched the operation several ways . they allowed the 2nd palestinian man to get away, and this person would have been a more important target. israel has summoned, australia's ambassador after cambra reverse its decision to recognize jerusalem as he's ready capital. the australian foreign minister says the city status must be decided through p songs between the israelis and palestinians. australia initially made the recognition under former prime ministers comp morrison in 2018. we will not waver know support of israel and the jewish community and stria. we are equally on waving our support of the palestinian people, including the provision of whom a humanitarian support. i would say that mr. morrison's decision to play politics
12:14 pm
and it was no more than that because of course, we all know where the embassy remind resulted in australia shifting position. i know that this has caused conflict and distress and concern in part of the struggling community. and today the government seeks to resolve that. i'll just bernard smith has reaction from west jerusalem. israel's foreign minister has voices deep disappointment over the decision of prime minister jala pete, who is running for reelection in the beginning of november. he says he can only hope the strategy and government matters manages other matters more seriously and professionally relating to the manner in which this announcement by the austrians were made. now the israelis had summoned straightly buses, but he'll have to drive all the way from television to jerusalem. because while australia recognized west jerusalem as it recognized jerusalem as a capital of israel, they never actually physically moved their embassy. like almost every other country, their embassy building and administration is intel of eve. it's only the u. s.
12:15 pm
embassy, that's here in israel after donald trump recognize jerusalem in 2018, and also honduras, and guatemala. so practically little changes, but of course it's all in the symbolism of a countries. most countries recognize that the status, the final status of jerusalem is to be determined in talks on palestinian statehood and the palestinians want eastern useless as their capital. it's where most of the christian muslim and jewish holy site happened to be as well, but they want the final status of jerusalem up the negotiation still ahead on al jazeera, nor then kenya face is a state of imagine cs round, delicious communities to the brink of starvation and argentina celebrates the legacy. i'm a former president while i'm major registers, dividing the party he found
