7:01 pm
i know about the senate. this is all 0 alive from doe hob, also coming up, staying in iran, the head of the u. a nuclear watchdog meets president abraham, where i, you see, days after traces of highly enriched uranium. were reportedly discovered a calorie on colorado. bray gets worse in earthquake, devastated norman syria. at least 3 people are dead. law jaws fell in the philippines threatens protected marine zones and of to is hotspot. ah, we're going to begin with breaking news out of iran. hundreds of school girls are in hospital off to the latest wave of suspected poisoning attacks. the 1st ones began back in november as crossovers, dos everybody who's in tech run for us. what we know about these attacks, dorsen well, according to semi official news agencies in iran,
7:02 pm
at least 15 provinces, reported attacks at schools, institutions where hundreds of girls were taken to hospital. one of the most severe attacks took place in a area in the south southern part of the capital that is known as puck dash, where 3 schools where it's around the same time, sending over $250.00 school girls to the hospital. we saw images of these girls on hospital beds, very much afraid and having difficulties breathing. they all had very similar symptoms. they couldn't breathe very well and they were dizzy and nauseous. and we saw the paramedics trying to calm some of the girls telling them just to remain calm and try to breathe. they say that this is certainly an escalation in these incidences over the past week or so. we've seen hundreds of schools being attacked across the country. and what we know so far is that the officials who have been
7:03 pm
tasked to investigate the incidents haven't been able to come up with any solid leads to be able to explain to parents who are very much concerned about the safety of their daughters. and while they're attending school about who and why these attacks are happening, dose in the absence of any ideas about cause or. and so what are the authorities actually saying about this? what we heard from the interior minister on wednesday, who said that they've been tasked by the president to investigate and they were working with various in the intelligence apparatuses in the country. we also heard from the reigning president abraham bracy, who on friday at a speech, he commented on these attacks saying that they, he hinted at the fact that external forces are looking to create chaos and instability in the country without providing any solid evidence about who could be behind these attacks. what is clear is that the authorities don't have any specific
7:04 pm
leads at the moment that they've shared so far to try and reassure the public and parents about the fact that they are in control. the fact that we saw dozens of attacks taking place on saturday alone across iran points to that. and the issue is that the parents are demanding answers from the authorities and they have to be able to get any yet. we saw a number of parents going to offices that belong to the education ministry in the capital where they were demanding to see officials to try and get some answers about what protocols are going to put in place to try and protect these girls in the coming days and weeks, we know that at all government schools and most of them have security cameras outside and inside institutions. and the question now is why the officials haven't been able to find any leads in these cases. yeah, mom can imagine that the parents are particularly concerned concerned and obviously the other goes at the schools as well. but if officials don't know what's causing
7:05 pm
this and who might be responsible if indeed this is some sort of premeditated incident, what can the schools actually do? well, the only option at the moment that is being flawed around is from people who say they are not going to send their girls to school. that is the only option that is feasible at the moment. we are coming up to the radio new year in the middle of march, and there is a 2 week break in the school year at that time. many of parents who have girls in schools say they are going to keep their girls at home until there is some answers provided. but officials of course, this is certainly alarming in a country where and women have one of the highest literacy rates in the middle east . over 95 percent of women in or on are educated and this certainly is a new phenomenon that we're witnessing at the moment, which is causing a lot of concern because it puts into question the safety of girls in schools in the coming weeks and months ahead and unless the authorities are able to get
7:06 pm
a handle on this, it really provides a challenge for the officials as well as parents who are concerned about their children's safety door. so thank you very much and he does dosage about bringing up today from to ron or staying in iran, the head of the you and your feel wash dog has met president jim or him why you see over to runs nuclear program fail. groceries visit comes days after i e. inspectors reportedly found an iranian nuclear cited particles are enriched uranium at near weapons grade level. we have to have a they deep serious systematic dialogue with iran. and this is why i am here. it's been too long. there has been a number of issues throughout the year, and i'm very glad that long last i have been able to return. i think it's going to be more than satisfactory. an important visit terence as,
7:07 pm
as if your program is for peaceful purposes and isn't for developing nuclear weapons arounds, nuclear chief, one that foreign interference was impacting taglines relationship with the i. e a n a d dot air. i see the engine of i, 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 for an interference that ame and heating the relations between tara and the agency. they now want to continue our relations with the i am 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 denito issues that would hit our relations with a 80, marcia? well, as we've been saying, the international atomic energy agency last week reporter lay find the purity of enriched uranium particles. photo site was 83.7 percent that's close to the 90
7:08 pm
percent needed to make a nuclear weapon. but the report only mentions particles that suggest the stock pile of enriched uranium hasn't risen above 60 percent rover carries a former director of the international atomic energy agency. and he says groceries visit is about limiting the recent damage to ties between the i e 8 and to crime. my interpretation is that the grocery has gone there to apologize to the iranians and to try to convince them that he is going to find a way to keep leaks from his agency. from continuing the leak that took place a week ago about these particles are false. information and it's very, very damaging to relationship. if the iranians are to trust the i. e. k, these links fast to stop and this is one of the most embarrassing weeks the agency is ever had. there is no, no offense whatsoever. that during reaching to the industry show, it's most likely false information because no one would enriched 83 percent. but
7:09 pm
there's a very easy explanation which is there's something called a time transience. and the time transfer is when you 1st start up the centrifuge and it's running on very small amount of material. it's separate extreme, well, and it will produce a few extra particles before it comes into steady state into its normal operation. i should know this term, the scientific literature. it's been mentioned frequently and i discovered this problem in iran in may of 2012 when they found when the 7 percent enriched material, where it 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 in 2012. i understand how serious all i need to do is read the literature and read their own reports and they'll see this false. in this case, we see that the elite of information occurred a week ago, a week before. the information was published in cordell. so there was
7:10 pm
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 o, 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. i had to try to derail that process. french presidency minute. my whole says all sides involved in the conflict and eastern democratic republic of congo of agreed to support a cease fire. my home made the announcement during a visit to concerto during the last leg. it was tool of central africa. francis place $36000000.00 to humanitarian fund, sat out by the european union to help the region more than half a 1000000 people to be made homeless there since march 2022 people citizen could have hostile how to put me in france will be the 1st, the state to respond to the european union initiative announced this morning to set

7:12 pm
affected, the 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 dated warned the, the people in the syria about the outbreak of causes as 3 additional debt due to the disease occurred after the devastating mix and the number of suspected cases jump to more than $570.00 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 diesel spread even faster. as most of the people who are affected by the disaster are women and children. and even before the earth, which is the areas the, the, the years with the area, the entire area was already suffer from
7:13 pm
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 duster but still hasn't completely subsided. channel of that as the head of severe earthquake emergency operations are the international federation of red crossman red crescent societies. he says, 8 organizations are facing big 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
7:14 pm
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 going outbreak like this. we know that community work really makes a big difference. and just where our efforts are going, 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. we just need more assistance to get to them. meanwhile, and to care aid has arrived on the farm of temporary housing for caught up. theresa bo has more where here in the port of is can metal where hundreds of affordable
7:15 pm
houses that were used. you in the world cup in qatar have a ride right behind me over 300 of them, fully equipped to be arrived in 2 ships that arrived here on this day. we do know that over a dozen ships are bringing thousands of them that are desperately needed in this country, doing the world cup to accommodate fans. a category 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 tens when you go to other areas. there are hundreds of thousands of them living in 10th others are living in containers. cities or 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're saying that they're going to build over $300000.00 homes in a year during
7:16 pm
a process of one year. but when you talk to people on the ground, one of the main things they ask is 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 earthquakes to rock. and that's why they're desperate for a house. well, 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 earthquakes. still hadn't al jazeera oh report from a tight tattoo 1st. what was bringing out the animal spirits among those silly tendons? ah hello slouchy father troy across a good part of but at the moment sir, nice big area of high pressure, so all warm sunshine will warm spring sunshine coming in across the good parts of
