says to synagogue resources before its own citizens. this has left many senegalese, wondering how much will they benefit from their own country's resource. because so far for many young men, opportunity means boarding one of these fishing vessels to travel to europe. legally, the government hopes that the gas project will stop this and bring jobs here at home. i want us to profit from the gas because as soon as we start extracting i expect that electricity prices fuel, even food prices will drop and become affordable for us. the senegalese coast guard appears in the distance, not to protect fishermen, but the precious you resource destined for europe. ah, china says it's driven away an american war ship for a 2nd day from the south china sea. the us in 6. it was international

with i money in say, this is out. is there a lie from day also coming up? india's main opposition policies go to the supreme court accusing top government agencies of targeting opponents. the governing b. j. p al jazeera goes on to cover in zimbabwe and investigation. finds that a senior diplomat is involved in an extensive money laundering scheme and adding some color and flavor to ramadan. people in garza observe the fostering mumps in the shadow of conflict and blockade. ah, hello and welcome. the united states navy has asserted what it calls navigational rights and freedoms off to standoff,

the chinese military and the south china sea. beijing says that a u. s. warship was driven out of waters near the parasol islands for the 2nd time . this week, washington denies any wrong doing, saying that it's vessel. the u. s. s. millis was conducting a routine operation in international waters. with china claim sovereignty over almost the entire south china sea, despite an international call saying that the claim has no legal basis. let's bring in on a tank and he's a senior fellow at the ty, hey, institute. he specializes in chinese political affairs. he joins us via skype from beijing. thank you for joining us, sir. so the u. s. says they're setting their navigational rights in these waters and according to international law, they all correct, is it china who's in the wrong here? well, international law is the young close, which is un conventional laws are the see actually the u. s. is not a signatory to it, but it says that it has the right to enforce that. china,

as you said earlier, claims on on 9 dash line very, which includes these islands. the real issue though is why is the u. s. choosing this time when you know you have broken countries, afghanistan, you have problems in almost throughout asia and the developing world. you have banking issues, they're debating. take talk at the same time that there's a 31.5 trillion dollar overhang of debt in the u. s, so i'm just struggling with ukraine in the picture. why is the u. s. going into these waters at all? well, it is the 2nd time in a week that a u. s. destroyer has been pushed out of these waters by china. if it happens again, how will china react? well, i don't think that china wants to, you know, have any kind of escalation in this. they've done so before. remember, the theory is that the u. s. is protecting trade, but it's china who's sad. this r, c e p, this regional economic gob comprehensive economic partnership,

which is now one of the largest economic partnership in the world outside the north american corridor. so it's, it's hard to believe that they would interfere with trade that would, in essence, heard china. it's the u. s. as i said, it's people are puzzled why with all the problems in the world is the u. s. pressing this at this point, there's a lot of feeling that china's initiatives with in terms of ukraine, in terms of going, are you russia talking piece, and also trying to bring powers in the middle east together on their own terms with iran in saudi arabia that this is perhaps the u. s. testing in different ways, how they can kind of push china or contain it last time in the us course have huge amounts of military power in this area. how dangerous is the prospect of some kind of military confrontation in the south?

china sea is extremely dangerous. if you go back to that, they don't in the bay of tonkin dance ex, incident. so the u. s. manufactured a reason to go to war, and this is one of the issues that china is concerned about. you saw that with the weapons of mass destruction claims in rock. ah, so it is juncture, china is very, very wary. they do not want escalation with the u. s, it doesn't serve their interest to have any kind of confrontation in their main trading corridor. but at this juncture, the u. s. really feels strongly that it needs to contain china, that this might be the last chance it has before china becomes economically too, too big, or jag or not to, to put in a box. i mean, you say that china doesn't want to create tension spots. the state of relations between china and the u. s. do appear to be going from bad to west, and china is not blameless. we've got, you know, the issue with the balloons in,

in the u. s. and so on. is this what china wants? well, i, i'm surprised. you mentioned the balloons in the u. s. has 30 to you to spy planes that fly all over the world, including china, almost daily basis. spying does go on the idea that these balloons were somehow provocations to the us. you know, something visible to the naked eye is kind of pastor us, and i think most people have put that down in terms of tensions. the main tension is china success. they have done very well, they're going to be the largest growing economy this year as compared to the u. s. which is looking extremely shaky and even shake here with this banking crisis and also so this debt overhang. so there's a lot of feeling that the u. s is trying to distract attention. i mean even the issues in israel, you would think that the u. s. would be trying to take a leadership position and trying to establish peace in order and bring the actors

who are acting outside the international laws to heal rather than trying to, you know, push china. once again, it looks like you asked us, you know, on a 2 front a crusade once against china. once again, it's russia good to get your perspective on a tank in senior fellow at the ty, hey, institute speaking to us that live from beijing, thank you. and some of india's main opposition parties are coming together to keep the governing b. j. p. a vastly misusing its government agencies. the parties say that the agencies have been used to target opponents while members of the party itself of rarely investigated where the b, j, p. denies the accusations and says that the agencies function independently, the 14 opposition parties have follow a case to the supreme court, s k to a corresponding poverty matter whose life rests in new delhi, putney. what exactly are these opposition?

a decade. the eyes of now are gone. he is on bail for 30 days, and he does have the option to appeal this verdict in a high accord. and that is what his lawyers say until then, you know, opposition. parties have been protesting this issue and taking this up for some time now because it's not just gone the, there are at least 2 other opposition leaders that are currently under investigation for a legit corruption. both the leaders have denied this. they've also said that and during the course of the investigation, agencies haven't found anything and have called a this, an intimidation tactic. ok, so how big a deal is this? where do you see this case going look opposition. parties are expected to keep up taking up this issue as they have of the last few weeks inside parliament outside on the streets. they have been protesting this as far as the case is. 6 concerned the supreme court is expected to

hear it on the 5th of april. that is the date we have as of now. what the timing, as you said, is an important context over here. india is headed for general elections next year around this time actually. and so opposition parties say that these cases are a tactic by the government to sort of intimidate them and make sure they don't stand a chance or head off those elections. now the criticism that and these allegations are not new, it's not just opposition parties. even human rights groups have been saying that since prime minister more the became the prime minister in 2014 india has a witness, a shrinking space for descent. you know, the sentiment is that if you criticize the government in any form and you could be an activist, you could also be a movie star. or you can expect a barrage of cases that could range from allegations of tax evasion. to, you know,

just comments that you've made in public and so opposition party said they will be even outside the court be taking up this issue. they, i expected to be protesting over the next few days. ok. thank you for that poverty metal there for us in new delhi, north korea says that it's military has tested what it calls the new on the water drone state media says the leader kim john oversaw and attack simulation using the device as well as cruise missile tests young young has stepped up with our testing this week to coincide with joint military drills between the us and south korea. a senior diplomat from zimbabwe had agreed to launch more than a $1000000000.00 in cash in what he believed to be a meeting with chinese criminals. that is the finding of al jazeera his investigative unit. the diplomat was recorded making the offer in a meeting with undercover reporters as part of an investigation i al jazeera and

a higher risk, like those living with h. i v. in 2021, nearly a 100. 90000 people died from h i v associated with t b. the only license that seen the b c, g is more than a 100 years old. it's effective in children, but not adults who account for most transmissions. t b is treated with antibiotics, but it's resistance to drugs is rising. with only 7 years left to reach the world health organization's end t b milestone the races on for a new and more effective vaccine. ok, let's bring in video christian and she's an investigative agenda, is focusing on health and is the author of phantom play? how she's the closest shaped our history. she joins us from go. any thanks for joining the program. video. you've been quoted as saying that she be close. it's

ramadan, their excitement is mixed with tension. for many cars since the muslim holy month is a time to come together with family and friends to break fast and share meals. but for some the memories of conflicts and wars when they've previously celebrated are casting a shadow. blossom is that i bought a hall. we want to feel the joy and happiness that ramadan brings to our homes and our children. we have many sad memories, but we will not tie them with ramadan. it's not fair to make this month a month of sore honey. either bob o, severe about it. we have referred all essential foods and dates were our customers during this whole month. we know it's difficult time, and if any escalation breaks, we'll have to store all these food and lose a lot, but we hope it will be fine. and people will enjoy ramadan peacefully. despite this most constancy of preparing for ramadan,
