none of that have been used governments, past liberties, government have managed to put together to build a through economy to build a true financial system to build a resilient economy with a vision. this is what we're trying to do. the fight between the old system and the system is really that, that is for many points that we are all now fighting over hundreds of thousands of people attend the streets across france and the latest show of anger, against present to my new microns planned to raise the age of retirement protested in fighting with police and paris and security for the ban firing tear gas, half of francis high speed train services were cancelled, and rubbish is still piled up in the streets of the capital because of stoppages by garbage collectors. a defined macro said on wednesday that the pension reforms one

like angel was personally appointed by president emerson, man and guy, glad to bring investment in his in bob way, you know that it lodge assigned to promote the brand and bob with economy has been devastated by corruption and more than 2 decades of sanctions imposed by the united states and europe. the local currency has no international value. the country's biggest owner of us dollars is gold. you want to gold gold, we're going to do it right then we can make the call right now. and it's done with the rate of minus minus association, right? this minute, the president of zimbabwe is minus federation is henrietta rash, where we want to go and buy golden. maybe the probably get big picks up go every week. just do it for $5000000.00

and you can watch the 1st part of the 4 part series and the al serra investigation gold murphy at the laundry service. on thursday at 20 g m t. hope all to know is an anti corruption activist and documentary maker. and he's in harry and now with us live good to have you with us at the findings of this investigation. a shocking, but do they surprise you? thank you very much for hosting me. the findings are shocking to the outside world, but they're not talking to journalists, oh, investigative, just like myself, because when i was reported about these things, but what i'll do is done, which we were not able to do, is to put the evidence and to have the people speaking themselves about how they are involved in the looting of public funds. the plan of about was natural resources, the smuggling of these resources and the laundering money using state institutions,

as they say in the documentary film. most generally in this country that have come across this information, i'm afraid to report about it because they will be thrown into prison. i've been thrown into prison myself 3 times. and one of the reasons that i was thrown into prison is because in red wire, who is the president's niece and who has been exposed in this documentary filled by al jazeera. i was also quote it as a back with robert would have been traditional airport in october of 2020 trying to smuggle 6.7 kilograms of gold to dubai. when she went to school, she was offered a, a bell view without where the little post battle and when i exposed that i was arrested, brought into prison for 25 days. and so a lot of generally staff raids to report on these issues because they look at what

is happened to me and they are afraid of being thrown into prison because nobody is able to help them out. but now that i'll just put this information out, it's important for local, generalise to look at it and report need to because it's not coming from them. is coming from an international use that has there been any response, any official response from the plans above way while the government is not just wanted officially, but the ruling party is used to one of the 3 that handles to dismiss the film on the basis that it does not involve a government minister or it does not involve a civil servant. but the fact of the matter is out because it said it's a press release there for films. so we're still waiting to see what else comes. but the fact that the ambassador lives was appointed by the president of the republic president muscle 9 guy, one is involved not only in the smuggling of boulder money,

but also charging people to have access to the president is creamy now. so we're now waiting to see whether the government is going to prosecute these people, but we are not hopeful on what is up in west. ok, well that's interesting, isn't it? what does it do though, to the government's argument in zimbabwe that it's economic ways of which there are many a jew to international sanctions against the country? well, this documentary film that destroyed that argument because we can now see clearly that there are a huge amount of money that are being met. and what i'm one of the people in the film talked about making millions every week. ok, zimbabwe is not only 6 central hospitals, and they require only $5055000000.00 to run efficiently without in shortages

for the whole year. so if somebody is able to make 20 medium through smuggling of bone and event in texas, we would be a good place that agents. it means that we don't have medication. you know, it was because not because of sanctions, but because with a group of criminals who are part of a point to talk about who are stealing from the state and stealing from the citizens. and making sure that a lot of our people die from easily treatable, diseases like a holiday in time for when thanks would have absolutely hope to no, no, great to speak to you. thanks very much taking the time to join us here on out as era. thank you. now, the wlan tech here are observing ramadan as they struggle to recover from last month. devastating earthquakes, thousands are still living, intense, and depend on aid to survive. that's all said are reports from one camp to space. people in the southeast, in the city of id, i'm, i'm o an unusual drama done in

a day on the 1st prayer of the muslim holy month is held in a mix of most oh, from of them is not only about trusting, it's also a time for joy and celebration, but not this year. for sure, it is difficult to slip away from a done in a 10 city conditions are difficult. i would never have imagined slippery to ramadan without a roof over our heads. monmouth gazelle and his family used to live in a 3 story house. it collapsed when the 2 portal earthquakes structure kia and syria . in early february. the gazelles are among about 5000 people who, how south shelter here. they all depend on it. yet mccartney has met the video that we provide to meals, pe, dave tower, into a hole in the coming days will also have a temporary stage for traditional blaze to be performed to help people overcome the

psychological trauma of the earthquakes out of them. julia. but mama's wife came out, says it's impossible to forget what happened. she was trapped under the rubble of the home for hours. i can her grandchild and waiting to be rescued. dotala again you did to school, i go to school on. they provide a psychological support, but what use is that after we've lost everything, we built that house with every penny we saved through our lives. during ramadan i used to prepare meals for my family. now i don't even have an oven to cooks the hall for them. the earth grace destroyed around a 1000 buildings in i. d. m. more than a 1000 people died. those who survived have turned to prayer, especially during ramadan. 2 0, many people who see the whole of their time in pants will be short and that they will be able to move into houses quickly. but nearly 2 months after the earthquakes,

that optimism is feeding life here is becoming increasingly difficult. and they're struggling to get used to the new normal bristol said that i'll jazeera or the amman. so this tricky i'll it rattle jones as now lie from adiana. there are some people that have just had their 1st, if tar, the breaking of the fast on the 1st day of ramadan. how are they coping well indeed, it was the 1st rama than here. and we have seen them powers of people just one or 2 hours before if that time they got into the coo and waited to receive their meals. so here in this 10 city in the am on, but on 5 he was 1000. people are living here and also people that are at the surroundings or so coming here and receiving their foods. both 40 if that and also for the parent for the breakfast, early breakfast, which is called sahu as well. so they are serving thousands of people with foods

here. now you can see that it is often that of the prayer, and now people are getting prepared to receive the early breakfast for tomorrow as well. and particularly, you can see that this is the new normal here. this is a venue that people are socializing. you can see, particularly children coming out and you know, talking to each other, gathering, played with bulls, socializing, because this sense of normality in this city was completely lost. and this is a way off now getting back to the normal again. and just often if 3rd, we have seen death, also a more bail stage was set up by the authorities here. and they have performed some traditional arts for kids. the joy was worth seeing. and kids, they really need saw joys because particularly they were traumatized off the 2 powerful earthquakes almost nearly 2 months ago. he at this region here,

then now of course they are trying to normalize, but they are very much in a tans situation as well. now, it is apt, rainy, and now with the rain start to come. and this is concerning these people here because over a week ago, off that a heavy rain, this very tense city was completely full on that. and people were evacuated in at the am a, not in this density, but in the amount to people have died. as a result of the fellas as wowza. now, as the rain is gradually intensify and people here are quite afraid whether that's going to be repeating again or not. but at the end of the deal, particularly when you talk to the people here, the main expectation is steel. to get back to the normal and for that having the permanent houses back is quite essential. so the government is seeing that they are on a very much ambitious project. first, people are going to be taken to the container houses and then months later,

they will be receiving the permanent houses here. but people are skeptical, of course, because the scale of the a station here in this city was immense, talking about more than 1000 buildings, completely collapsed, but also data housings of the other houses that are heavily damaged so they are not habitable as well. so it's not clear how within such a short period of time or of thousands of the houses are going to be delivered to the people. but this is the men expedition and they're holding on to that hope. okay. rather than at thanks very much for doing that from se and tacky. we're just over the border from tech here. thousands of syrians recovering from the earthquakes also observed the 1st to have ramadan. no commercial reports from ed lim. today marks the 1st day of the holy month of ramadan in north western assyria almost 2 months after the devastating to an earthquake. that struck these areas which caused severe damages to the infrastructure in the area. and addition

to the displacements of more than a 130000 people who were over the added to the internally displaced as we can see, a behind me. the families at this refugee camp are now a breaking there. foss during the ramadan ramadan. 2 month we talked to a many families as they described that the increased numbers of the people who were displaced by the twin earthquakes added more pressure on the already existing internally displaced refugee camp. and they are trying to cope with the aftermath of the tween earthquakes. and the damages it god, in addition to their own, read the attempts of, of dealing and coping with the 12 year conflict. and they still don't know if they're suffering. and the ongoing situation will ever come to an end. no cor michelle just euro a. globe tick tock, seo shades

a chew has fine before the us house energy and commerce committee. his face questions about the social media platforms, alleged relationship, the chinese communist party, and it's use of dates him a session began with the chair of the committee, giving her unambiguous view of the threat posed by take talk. chick talk is a grave threat of foreign influence in american life. it's been said, it's like allowing the soviet union, the power to produce saturday morning cartoons during the cold war, but much more powerful and much more dangerous. banning your platform will address the immediate threats make no mistake. this committee is also looking to the future . american needs to be prepared to stop the next technological tool or weapon china will use for its own strategic game. we must prevent any ap website and platform like talk from ever sign on americans again. the head of tech talk made

a series of promises to the us lawmakers. there are more than a 150000000 americans who love our platform. and we know we have a responsibility to protect them, which is why i'm making the following commitments to you and to all our uses. number one, we will keep safety, particularly for teenagers as a top priority for us. number 2, we will firewall protected u. s. data from unwanted for an access number 3, take talk will remain a place for free expression and will not be manipulated by any government. colon baker explains how tactile can other social media platforms use data. tick tock is a leader in grabbing people's attention to do this. it needs lots of their data. users need to give access to their phones, camera, microphone, photos, video, contact, location information, and to their behavior online. now this is all similar to what other major social

media companies asked for to. this is an industry practice as a whole to violate our rights to privacy, to sell ad. and this is why we need term data protection world to end is damaging attitude that everyone is preaching privacy. so why shouldn't we most of us know about cookies, which put code from the web onto our devices. companies also use what's known as a pixel tracker to keep tabs on users as they browse the web. these are bits of code hidden as tiny images in web pages or e mails that report back to the company when you visit pixels are deployed by most big companies. on most websites. they're not always consented to, but they are mostly legal. in a study by ferret a canadian security company pixel trackers from tick tock were found across the web as were pixel trackers from the other major social media giants. but tech talks were also found on government websites that did not know they were there. and the u . s government has find 2 american health companies for using pixels to track users

. while they were looking at sensitive personal health websites. you start with the violation of privacy by just following people by, based by following people online and trying to know what they're doing. but once you get inside in those habits, then the company have an interest to try to see how they can exploit that. and company me explain that to sell you more than other i to make for that to, to try to, to change your political views. tracking is now a big part of our browsing experience because our data has become the most valuable commodity for companies. well, mike, hannah has been listening in to show the jews testimony for 3 might is a long testimony that the tick tock seo is being given into 6 allen now to get through the highlight. this is how in the another recess and certainly he's come under a severe grilling from law makers. one of the law makers saying that this is the most bipartisan committee in the history of the united states. and certainly it is . there was an overwhelming show of possibility towards tick tock in particular on

that national security issue. speaker off the speaker, putting up the issue that tick tock is sharing its data with the chinese government or making available to the chinese government. it's data also tick tock, links with by dunn's, which is its parent company based in china, and which some of the legislatures the ledge has members of the chinese government on its board of directors, but no evidence for that at all. so generally a hostile reception for the ceo of tick tock, they will also questions from legislators about the dangers to children on the tick tock platform. one, if you could, incident quoted a 16 year old who killed himself after watching videos promoting suicide on the tick tock upset very difficult drilling for the c o of tick tock. he continues to maintain that there is no foreign interference in the app that everything will be

done to protect teenagers on the app. and i'm, it's just add that half of american teenagers are believe to be on pick up. would have picked up say that it will do well, the ceo came up with an idea called project texas. now in terms of this, all the service would be moved to the united states, put under american control with mary can monitors looking at the use of the data and ensuring that it is not spread any further than the united states itself. essentially building a fire wall around the united states. so this is his suggestion, but there are also moves within congress and further afield from the binded administration to force the parent company by dons to sell tick tock and put it under complete american control. now some would contend that this would be

a way for the united states to regain a technical dominance, which the rise of tick tock has denied it. and that the moves against tick tock that we've been seeing today. and in the most recent past are in a way, a form of leverage to force the sale of that company to american owners. this is something that china says it's simply will not countenance ok. mike cannot for the moment. thanks very much. the update from washington d. c. over more on this, we're joined by don ives, a tech analyst, wed bush securities in new york. good to have you with us. how would you rate showed to choose performance during this session? well, 1st me was a tough situation to begin with. vibrate the disaster relative. but i think for the questioning answers left in terms of, you know, ultimately my data perspective, what that back says, aging or trying to can ab toward it. and i think ultimately weaves the black guy

where now it feels like a banner for staff is like way on the horizon, the tick tock. but how either of those things put in place of ban of take talk on private phones or forced sale to a us company that might not even want her. yeah, well, i mean, this is going to be like a siamese twin operation. this sort of separate 14 by dance and take a look at the game, a high stakes poker. and ultimately it is the govern bed arm comes out and basically where it says officially, the band, these can really go a few ways, one by dance, can fight this in court. and try to alternately, you know, back down in terms of potential sale, a spin off would, i believe would be very unlikely. and then in terms of his cell, it would probably have to be insured as either an i p o or is there a u. s. pack player, microsoft or potentially a consortium. it's definitely, well,

looks like a pretty rocky road ahead now for 6 dock in the us. how legitimate, all the legislators concerns that use a day to would make its way to the chinese called me as partially because you've got take talk vowing to hold data in u. s. servers putting up a fire wall for us for us uses data to not leave the sure. so if that not enough well i think. ready god project taxes because your call it talks about it. you look at your gold partnership. i mean, over the last years that was really the goal here. i've we, there is, it was when chad that they can convince from a security perspective, this could be walled off. there's probably negotiations behind the scenes. but ultimately, if you could today, i mean this really was, you know, probably it would be a negative event, particular part of med, snap chain, other social media players knew i didn't think you got

a 150000000 uses of take talk in the u. s. sudden say that half a teenagers in the country are on it. do they share village places view? they going to be upset if the, if the app is band. well, i think that's all to me. how did going to play out? you know, we'll know there's probably somewhere in between. i mean, in terms now it starts off with the band. i think they're going to look to oddly tried to somehow separate this from the algorithm perspective. you have 150000000. you had a media your success to the last thing you know, congress are 10 or ones to do is ultimately be the one that then that wouldn't be good for them from a voting perspective. but this is what this is now playing out in a fork in the road situation. it feels like we're getting to a point where a bad or cell or something is really going to change now for tick tock. so what happens next? you've got this committee session,

it should be wrapping up for hopefully for seo and within an hour or 2 has been pretty long already. what happens next? well, i think the, the big thing is 50 s, which is the government agency formed around security issues. they're going to come out with some rolling and ultimately that fall by an official white house, the man that's really going to set our, what's the next stage there, why we given read a 6 months, some sort of a timeline to try to either spin this offer so i think that's how i see this sort of playing out in terms of the next up here. ok, dana, great to speak to you. thanks. taking time to join us on our sarah. thank you. cilla had hair on al jazeera, a small cases of the marble virus, reported an equitorial guinea of to 5 people die from a disease and hands and an and an sport, a meeting of 2 for my grand slam champions in miami. i can go ahead with that story
