oh grams, and open your eyes to an alternative view of the well to day. on now to sierra talk to al jazeera, we ask, what should they not be more oversight, perhaps, of foundations like yours? we listen when it comes to diversification, we don't do it in order to be gets wrinkled, the rational energy sources we meet with global news makers. i'm talk about the stool restock matter. on al jazeera, bold and i'm told stories from asia and the pacific on al jazeera. ah ah. hello, i'm not matheson, this is the news are live from doha, coming up with an ex 60 minutes. a 2nd wave of suspected poisoning attacks and

iranian schools. hundreds of girls are in hospital. we're going to have a live update saying and around the head of the you are nuclear watchdog meets presidents abraham ra. you see, days after traces of highly enriched uranium, are discovered. a color outbreak gets worse, and f quick devastated northern syria. at least 3 people are dead. a law joy spill in the philippines threatens protected marine zones and a 2 is the hot spot. and it's full amount, is this if he keep up the person awesome. all at the top of the permit league city have beaten you. castile united to move within 2 points of the leaders. ah, we're going to begin with breaking news out of iran. hundreds of school girls are in hospital after a new wave of suspected poisoning attacks on friday. president abraham la, you see blame them on a runs. enemies must cross over the docile body intact,

run for virus now door. so what do we know about these latest attacks? while according to semi official news agencies, attacks took place on saturday across the 13 provinces in iran, where girls schools were targeted as a result of which hundreds of girls were taken to hospital. now, according to human rights group, groups in the country, at least 40 institutions were targeted as a result of which hundreds of girls became l. this is of course, not. the 1st incident we've seen of such attacks being carried out. what we do know so far is that these attacks were all carried out around the same time in various parts of the country. and many of the girls who became ill showed very similar symptoms as they were taken to hospital. we saw footage emerging on social media where we saw girls becoming very ill that they had difficulties breathing. they

were saying they were nauseous, some of them had lost feeling in parts of their bodies. it was difficult for them to walk. we also saw a number of parents taking their children to hospitals on the stretchers, alongside ambulances that were dispatch. this is something that has really increased drastically over the past week or so in various parts of the country dos . i mentioned earlier that for president abraham r u c. has blamed these incidents on iran's enemies. what else are the authorities saying about this? what we just heard from the president. again, during his meeting with the head of the i. e. j, a rafael grossi who's in terran and at the iranian president, abraham bracy said that at the country's enemies want to create chaos and instability and iran. and he said this was an example. these attacks on that girl's an education facilities are an example of them trying to carry that out. she said

that they are trying to create chaos and instability and also instill fear in the general public cabin as these attacks continue. and that is something the officials have said that they're looking into and they do, they are urging parents and a school girls not to become hysterical over these attacks. or that being said, any idea what the schools are doing in order to try to protect the school girls we haven't heard from officials from the education ministry. all we know is that the interior ministry has been involved in investigating these cases. and we know that at government schools, there are security cameras installed outside and inside of most of them. and the parents have been asking and demanding answers since these attacks began. months ago about why they haven't been able to pinpoint who is behind these attacks. and why they continue, and of course the increase in the rate of these attacks have cause extreme alarm

amongst the parents of spoken to some who have girls in schools who say they are worried. they don't know if they want to continue sending their schools their girls to school in the coming days until there are some answers from authorities. you have to remember iran has one of the highest literacy rates amongst women in the middle east. over 95 percent of women in iran are educated. this is an issue that is very much at the forefront of conversation these days because girls education has never been at this much in question. most people in the country are 4 girls getting an education for these attacks are very, very rare. and the fact that they're intensifying is causing a lot of alarm, and parents are very angry and frustrated and concerned and are looking for answers and they're still waiting from officials to give them any thoughts about it. and 2nd or so, thank you. ok, we're going to stay around the head of the nuclear watchdog, his med president, the able to him racy over to iran's nuclear program. i fell across his visit comes

days after i a e, a inspectors found on a rainy, neutral site. hot particles of enriched uranium at near weapons grade level. we have to have a vague deep and serious systematic dialogue with iran. and this is why i am here. it's been too long. or there have been a number of issues throughout the year. and i'm very glad that at long last i have been able to return. i think it's going to be more than satisfactory and important . m a visit to ron says it's nuclear program as for peaceful purposes and isn't for developing nuclear weapons. marin's nuclear chief, as one that fought an interference, was impact intact, runs relationship with the i. e a n a d data. and we hope such relations will lead to building trust. we also want to be able to

solve and settle outstanding issues away from leaks and foreign interference that aim and hitting the relations between tara and agency. they now want to continue our relations with the i 8 for the agency to be able to perform its duties regarding iran's nuclear program within the framework of the comprehensive safeguards agreement with stress denita, what issues that would hit our relations with a 80 well, as we've been saying the international atomic energy agency last week reporter be find the purity of enriched uranium particles for no site was 83.7 percent that's close to the 90 percent needed to make a nuclear weapon. now the report only mentions particles and that suggests the stockpiled of enriched uranium hasn't risen above 60 percent, or robert kelly is a former director of the international atomic energy agency. he's joining us now from vienna, so thank you very much indeed for being with us. my understanding is that rafael grossey said he wasn't going to go to check on unless he was able to get

a meeting with our president, right? you see which he now has. what's your interpretation of how this meeting is going? my interpretation is that grossi has gone there to apologize to the iranians and to try to convince them that he's going to find a way to keep leaks from his agency. from continuing the leak that took place a week ago about these particles is false information. and it's very, very damaging to relationship. if the iranians archer trust the i e j, these links asked to stop and this is one of the most embarrassing, reeks agency is ever hand. it is no, no sense whatsoever that they're reaching to industry. okay, i do want to obviously pick you up on that you say it's false, you are quite categorical about that. can you explain to us, given the fact that i don't by myself, don't understand how these principles work, how these processes are followed through. and you explain to me why you can be so sorry that this was false information that was put on when you look at it,

you can see that it is most likely false information is no one was enriched 83 percent. but there's a very easy explanation, which is there's something called a time transience and the time transients when you 1st start up the centrifuge, and it's running on very small amount of material, it's separate extremely well, and it will produce a few extra particles before it comes in to stay into its normal operation, i should know this, so it's in the scientific literature. it's been mentioned frequently. and i discovered this problem in iran, in may of 2012 where they found 27 percent enriched material where it was supposed to be 20. and it's interesting that the percentage of the overage is just the same as i found in 2012. so they need to go back and see if they can find anybody who worked at i a yay. in 2012, i understand how serious all i need to do is read literature and read their own reports and you'll see this is false. are all from the holiday,

slimy. the arabian atomic energy from organization. the chief of the organization said that to some extent, he blamed foreign interference for the situation that was existing between or had been existing between the i e a and a run. what, why would you identify or interpret the phrase fallen interference. in this case, we see that the leak of information occurred a week ago, a week before the information was published and got out. so there was a very clear effort on someone's part to take information that was misleading. and to try to turn that into some kind of a big deal and they're doing it right. well the j. c, p r a is looking like it has a chance of being re institute. so this was a very careful attempt on someone's part to try to, to try to derail that process. so what we have here is either some of the, i e, a leak risk because it's a very sensitive piece of information. not many people have access to,

or maybe they have a contract lab in another country because this is a difficult analysis and maybe it was done overseas. i'll say was, has been saying that he would hope that iran would become more transparent in terms of its nuclear program. what else could a wrong do to be more transparent that it hasn't done in the past? it worked pretty hard to be transparent. ok. i think one thing one would look at is do, can we see any cases where the agency lead information from someone outside around showing that they ran it was doing something right. and the other country was leaking information to try to implicate them. but we just see a one where a series of weeks or so i think the agency needs to, to kind of clean up its act in that regard. it says good organization, but there are security and their political zation. this is a real concern. the c i a director recently says,

i'm sure you're aware of that. as far as the cia is concerned, that iran has been increasing its enrichment program either in the size of it the scale of it. i'm developing it's delivery systems but has not yet reached a decision about the weapon is ation of that going by what you're telling me going about in terms certainly in terms of, of your interpretation of the transparency that iran is offering. and also that interpretation by the cia director is the reason to be optimistic. do you think about the way that a run is managing? it's a nuclear program. definitely, yes, one should be optimistic. i think they have been going out of their way for years to not build a nuclear bomb. they keep stopping at various stages. the problem that they've gotten into is that they keep getting pushed against the wall by somebody sanction . and so as a result of bad, they do something that looks looks bad to the west, like going to 60 percent enrichment and they can back away from that. so one of the

things that they could consider doing is removing some of the steps that they've taken, like going 60 percent by can see why they're reluctant to do that. because every time they cooperate or they get new sanctions against robert kelly, former director of the international atomic energy agency and talking to us from vienna. so we appreciate you being with us and i'll just get a thank you very much indeed for your time. thanks roger. friends, presidency my you mark on says all sides involved in the conflict in eastern democratic republic of congo. i've agreed to support a cease fire. my home made the announcement during a visit to can shutter during the last leg of his tour of central africa. frances place $36000000.00 to humanitarian fund, set up by the european union to help the region. more than half a 1000000 people have been made homeless there since march 2022 people citizen could have foster how to put me in france will be the 1st the state to respond to the unions initiative announced this morning to set up

a humanitarian as service to goma will release an immediate contribution of 34000000 euros in humanitarian aid, which will be added to the nearly 50000000. already announced by the in the u. ha. malcolm where i was following the relevance from king, his capital nairobi. all of the previous, the fire declarations made, including that included regional leaders in recent months haven't made any difference. rwanda and then 23, blame congress. the government for this, the 1023 has in fact continued its advantage. continue taking way the territory from the congress. the government forces campaign is in congo of organized protest in recent days against president macross, who they say is complicit in the killing, and displacing is civilians which em $23.00 is blamed. and they say the reason for this is because the front is support for including military support via the

european union. and rwanda is blamed for supporting and $23.23 widely understood to be proxy. although and 23 denies it. and $23.00 fighters carry rwandan army military equipment, which the protested understand is paid for by fraud. now, 10 years ago, congo government forces defeated m 23. but at the time they had substantial international military support. there was a clear political will to do so at the time from the government and can shatter the volta sanctions placed on rwanda. by the time the us in the netherlands, who are among the countries that support the government of rwanda. and the campaign is say that, that kind of decisive action that now needed from france and the other countries that provide support and military support to wonder if the conflict is actually going to be brought to a close. and if any sci fi can be up,

how many miles had on the news are including containers as make shift? holmes cut out 2020 two's final combination is to give shelter to funds and is made homeless by earthquakes to kia plus. i'm a, some of the job aids at moscow butcher theater and i'll tell you how an artists are reacting to list of kids being pulled and in sport. again, changing new competition for women's crickets. that story coming up later in the ah, ah, to a color i break in northwest, so he is getting worse. following a last month's earthquakes. at least 3 people have died from the illness, the creeks, damage, health facilities, water sources and sanitation infrastructure. and that's increased the chances of an accelerated outbreak. journalist know how much says the quakes compounded and already serious situation. the catastrophic earthquakes. the areas in opposite year

that not only caused these to view and complete destruction of thousands of buildings, it has also cause severe damages to the infrastructure in the area of syria, which as the sewage systems in the be affected areas which, which are directly affected. the, the access to clean water for the people in the area. this is jerry and the civil defense teams to warn the, the people in the syria about the outbreak causes as 3 additional debt due to the disease occurred after the devastating mix. and the number of suspected cases jump to more than 570 effective cases. and also these themes are also warning that these numbers are likely to increase in the upcoming days. thousands of people are still living in shelter and collective filter centers which

make, make the d the spread even faster. as most of the people who are affected by the disaster are women and children. and even before they switch to the areas the, the, the years with the curia, the entire area was already suffered from a lack of proper sewage system as 6 or 3 percent of the refugee camps in the area like proper sewage systems and 4 to 3 lack the access to clean water and these numbers are more likely to increase in the upcoming days as big a duster that still hasn't completely subsided. earlier my calling for about people spoke to i came steiner, who has the united nations development program and she asked them what exactly the u. n. is doing to help syrians in need the context in which the un has to work as a whole in the syria is severely constrained, politically, sometimes logistically. and certainly in the face of this terrible, terrible destruction that followed the earthquake. it is hot,

breaking not to have the ability to immediately be by the side of people, but i often have to also say it is not that you end that created these conditions. i mean, we are responding our humanitarian colleagues. i have a significant team in sierra that was working there before and we are under various severe restrictions in which we are able to work because we cannot really do developing the traditional sense. we can only do early recovery and that's what we're focusing right now. following the earthquake, the doing assessments to 1st we'll look at where the buildings have collapsed. we are working with our monitoring colleagues to keep the local services are the going re establish them whether it's electricity, water, and then again you in the piece focuses on the early recovery and livelihood sector . this is our core focus. we lead the un country team in that area and we're going to focus on what we have done in other countries, which is help people to quickly get back on their own feet. people have dignity, they have pride. they don't want to be standing an acute, to get handouts, helping them to re establish their businesses, repairing buildings, reconnecting electricity. those are the things that will help people to regain

a foothold in the some perspective of hope. and that's what we're focused on right now. sharon nevada, as the head of city earthquake emergency operations at the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies. he says, 8 organizations are facing major challenges in the region. the last 12 years of the crisis here has not help situation for the, for the people that are affected by this earthquake. what i can tell you is that over the last month, red cross red crescent teams through this area and red crescent have been responding in a number of ways to the outbreaks that are happening. i think 1st and foremost of education, hygiene and health promotion, messaging to people, providing them with information on how to protect themselves and their families, and to people need assistance to provide to make sure that's happening. so what we provide it is clean drinking water, for example, right to all the effects and populations. we provided hygiene parcels and other hygiene kit. now this is all reinforcing the health care system,

that is the thing here. and the red cross red cross clinics that are already in place clinics are only part of the solution when outbreak like this. we know that community work really makes a big difference under where our efforts are. and we are certainly in a race against time and providing assistance. we know that more assistance is needed to bring into the area. we need more cash and funding to purchase items inside syria itself. and then we need more support to ensure that we can have access to all the affected areas. the syrian red crescent tents, volunteers have access to significant parts of the country where the effective people are. but we just need more assistance to get to them. meanwhile, inter kim aid has arrived in the form of temporary housing from our tele, zable has more were here in the port of its can. metal were hundreds of fordable houses that were used during the world cup encounter. have a right right behind me over 300 of them, fully equipped to be arriving 2 ships that arrive here on this day. we do know that

over a dozen ships are bringing thousands of them that are desperately needed in this country during the world cup to accommodate fans. katara establish this portable homes and portable units in several parts of the desert. and now they're being brought here where they are desperately needed earlier today we were, for example, right outside the port in a train station were over, a 1000 people are living in 10th when you go to other areas. there are hundreds of thousands of them living in 10th others are living in containers 15. the turkish government has that it has begun the rebuilding process in several parts across the country. but this is something that is going to take time. they saying that they're going to build over $300000.00 home in a year during a process of one year. but when you talk to people on the ground, one of the main things they ask it when i'll be able to go back to live in a house, people are tired, they've been struggling with lots of difficulties since the earthquake struck them

. that's why they're desperate for a house. well i'm, that's why houses. so just this one, the ones that you can see right behind me are crucial at this point to help those who have lost it all to the earthquake. un secretary general until he was status is called for massive economic support. and investment for nations in dire need is in cost us capital del speaking at the 5th un conference and the least developed countries using the cost of living crises grows most difficult by the day with the water and you can excel it. i think the rising prices of energy and foods, at the effects of constance, thou, sanguine, and extreme poverty, and the result is a perfect storm for perpetuating poverty and the injustice. we must end the storm. ah,

that rushes, wagner mercenary group, says the ukrainian city of buck mode is almost completely surrounded by russia and its allied forces. russian troops have intensified the shelling of roads to the west, making it harder for ukrainian forces to move in and out. wagner's chief called for the time to be evacuated to save the lives of ukrainian soldiers victorian bachman would give moscow its 1st big, military achievement. in 6 months. the man has been blamed for russia's lack of victories in the past. few months is peter where visit the front lines in eastern ukraine roches defense minister survey, chicago miss edge of inspected a command post south of de nets. german chancellor, olaf schultz, and you as president joe biden, who said they'll keep punishing russia for the war in ukraine. the 2 leaders met on friday in the oval office, sholtes and biden. they should continue supporting cave together work block stepped to supply critical security assistance, ukraine, and everything from what we've done to lock step ammunition or chill or armor tanks,

russian performers upsetting the russian artists. but the remain undeterred. fortune is that you made the term deal canceling russian culture. i mean, i feel sorry pity for these people. come with them. i can't even understand who could think of counseling chikavsky, and i think these are shallow, narrow minded politicians who make decisions like that from tolstoy that you called ski art and culture has a special place in russian society. many countries have cancelled or restricted russian performances since the invasion of ukraine. but for those who dedicated their lives to performing arts, they say it's unfair for them to be dragged into politics positions and also concerned about cultural appropriation. artist of the plenary is now labeled as a ukrainian at new york's metropolitan museum of art cleans you died in 1910 in the russian empire, while ukraine, as a state only existed from 1918 critics say, a russian painter. even i was off ski who died in 1900,

rule for so called a protecting african price. but the thing is, african price have been for a long time being ph by many companies, including french companies. so it's really, i mean, an exercise of green washing to, to, to see the so summit, which happened recently in, in govern. but the story, the end of the so is that the, this is just a ceremony to say that, well, friends who want to have as a kind of relationship to africa without changing fundamentally, both of the supporters of a powerful labor junior engineers. you have protested against president ty said that accusing him of cracking down on government. critics. such a prominent opposition. politicians would arrested president side dissolved parliament 2021 elections in december or boycotted by the opposition? who accused him of a power grab more african nations of flying,
