5:06 am
the crew and the cost funding tony chang is joining us live from the capital navy door. so what is min on claims message? the country tony, as the military continues to battle armed, oops, opposed to its leadership around the country. well, it's not unexpected. it's very much want to define. he blamed political opponents to live in the for the failure of democracy for causing the military to step in when they did. he also talks about terrorists that the military were fighting and they had to be defeated before democracy could be restored. he said the military was still committed to the 2008 constitution and it would be restored once those terrorists had been defeated. and suggesting that the military will still out democracy the florist, but no more word on elections. and when those might happen and peace returning
5:07 am
seems to be conditional to those elections, which is supposed to happen later this year. nonetheless, we spoke to ministry spokesman a few days ago who conceded that the military only control 2 thirds of the country were seeing placing in the west, in east, up in the north. so those forces which a defying military cool and the military coup, 2 years ago, clearly not giving up well, they're fighting is the awesome display of military might. we saw today, we've seen tanks rolling through the square jet fighters flying overhead, and those are a real fear for those rebels fuzzy on the board if they've been used indiscriminately over the past 12 months on several occasions, killing hundreds of civilians. nonetheless, they're still fighting on much of the military might on display here. i think. well, that was designed to instill fear rather than confidence in the people that mom and tony what has that fighting between the military and so many groups around the
5:08 am
country, the sanctions against the military men, for the people of me on mother un, rapid tor saying that the number of people in need of humanitarian assistance has fought from a 1000000 before the crew to anticipated. they say, 17600000 this year. it's causing terrible problems. in many places, there are scarcity of energy, electricity, even basic services like running water, education in some parts of the country, education that hasn't existed for 5 years of coven, and now the fighting that's going on. and it's a desperate situation. unless we're not seeing any of that where we are, this is nipped it. all the capital is a very tight ring, a security here in. yeah. and going normal, how it says we're to return to a certain extent. people still very consent for their concerns. more with inflation that some people are saying right, the price is rising to times even st times. and they just want things to get back
5:09 am
to normal. i think they will be prepared to put up with a military government to a certain extent, if stability returned. if prices dropped, but that's not happening at the moment, and there are foss pounds to this country where people are clearly willing to fight to the death rather than submit the military rule. tony, thank you very much for that. that's not correspondent tony chang with the situation inside me on my live and navy door. but europe in union has warned further sanctions of velo, ruth's host, russian nuclear weapons that use joseph morales as the move would be an irresponsible escalation and a threat to european security. the comments come after president vladimir putin announced he would position tactical nuclear weapons end, better was ukraine is calling for an urgent meeting of the un security council. last week. fruit and wanted russia would be false to react if the u. k. supplied

5:11 am
similar or greater than what we saw in russia and nagasaki in 1945 there. hugely, they can cause huge catastrophic harm. and there is no recovery from any health care system they could deal with that type of catastrophe. it doesn't matter. the size of the weapon then long term consequences are also something that we just don't have the capacity to cope with. it's highly problematic. the nonproliferation treaty is not explicitly say you cannot store weapons in another country, but the pilots in those countries are trained to use those weapons and that would require a transfer of control. and that is prohibited under the nonproliferation treaty. earthquakes that struck takia and syria and early february have claimed more than 50000 lives and nearly 2 months on some families still searching for their relatives. as many as 1300 bodies haven't been identified, wrestle,

5:18 am
a political and religious dispute over its official daytime hours. the caretaker government has delayed daylight savings by a month. clots were now be moved forward at the end of ramadan and april. that allows muslims to break their daily fast earlier at sunset. but christian authority say they'll stick to tradition and switch the time on the last sunday of march, zayna hollow has more from beirut. there is more chaos in lebanon, a country already close to collapse because of an economic and political crisis. this morning, the lebanese woke up to time zones, usually at the end of march of this country fit into the summer time. but this did not happen because of a decision. an unexpected and surprised decision taken by the caretaker prime minister, along with the speaker of parliament. be buddy up this really this decision a caught people by surprise. some institutions like middle east airlines has
5:19 am
adapted to the decision. yes, their electronic devices are clocks that remain the same, but they've had to change their flight schedule to comply with the international flight schedule. but, but there's an uproar and there's opposition and there are institutions which are rejecting to comply with the decision. the argument is it was in discriminant and it shows the way this country has been governed for decades. and it shows how officials and not state institutions are taking decisions without resorting to, to parliament a to cabinet. and most of the opposition is coming from the christian community, the head of the maronite church, christian parties, because they are concerned that the post in lebanon, sectarian power, sharing system of the president is now vacant. and it is the muslim leaders who are taking the decisions on their behalf. and it's not just that, while those empowered did not give a decision on official reason why this is happening, it coincided with the start of ramadan. and in the league video,
5:20 am
you hear the how speaker say, you know, people will, will fast, less, less an hour during this month. so a decision on whether or not lebanon will change to summer timings, which it really has done for, for years now, is causing a lot of confusion in the country. cubans headed to the polls to elect new members of the national assembly on sunday, the elections come at a time of severe economic crisis. choice both sent us this report from havana and hilary s p l has been participating in cuban elections for decades. she says her family was among the poorest in the country and benefited from fidel castro revolution. now, she says, sewing prices are a major challenge for cuba, government, and that's why it's leadership needs more support than ever our hand. we need to work. so we come from the difficult time so we can produce more for the country. we have lots of educated people after the pandemic,
5:21 am
lots of people are struggling and for a country like ours, with an embargo, it's worse. well, millions of cubans headed to the polls on sunday to elect the members of the national assembly. that was select the next president, cuba, one party system. the candidate for the national assembly are selected by a commission williams for the communist party. there's 472 candidates for 472 pieces, new members of the opposition. and that's why critics say that cubans are allowed to vote, but not to choose. disenchantment with the economic situation is everywhere. to be seen. us sanctions power got a 60 percent inflation rate this year, and shortages of almost everything have forced hundreds of thousands to leave the country. and that way, turn out is crucial for the government to provide the new assembly with a legitimacy needs to ruling times of trouble. and while there are a lot of people that will not vote to punish the government because it's
5:22 am
a fact that a government in the middle of a crisis is a government that gets punished. but at the same time, the new national assembly needs to get involved in the day to day problems, people face and get into a debate for them. but not every one is convinced. thousands of people took to the streets in july 2021. in the largest anti government, protesting years it would demanding freedom. hundreds were detained, and remaining prison. medium lever has been an outspoken critic of cuba government . her husband spent years in prison, galleria wanna it. the cuban reality doesn't need to be exaggerated because it's tragic after yes, it's my duty to say the truth. the situation is so difficult that we have to see how the government solstice and opens up because there is one reality. the control here is not in a civilian government, but in the hands of the military. and now more than ever, the government is promising to improve the country's devastated economy. millions
5:23 am
in cuba, i waiting for those reforms that will provide the relief that men here so desperately need. oh did is i will, i'll just cedar havana, cuba to the u. s. now where people in the southern state of mississippi is still coming to terms with a deadly devastation caused by 5 days tornadoes. at least 25 people have been killed. alan fisher reports realty, downtown strip. the hope is they're searching for survivors. the reality, the fear they're looking for bodies. so i'm looking around to know an unfair. i know we can rebuild what to do with the globalization. what to do with the tornado was landed on friday night, ripping a trail of death and destruction through 270 kilometers of the southern us state of mississippi, changing the landscape video still changing lives. you can see that shot dead us.
5:24 am
my brother, he's a truck driver. all of those trucks right there, his trucks. so his whole livelihood is this fit in a pile of the the emergency help is no putting in doing what they can, where they can't. i want to take the opportunity to personally thank all of the volunteers that are here. what we've seen over the last 36 hours in mississippi, on the one hand, has been heartbreaking to say the loss and devastation of these communities. but on the other hand, has been inspiring. tornadoes have always been a problem in this part of the country. there's nothing to indicate they're getting stronger or there's more of them. but one top us official says areas like mississippi have to be built to be more resilient. we seen extreme weather events
5:25 am
increasing only increasing in gravity, in severity and in frequency. and we have to build our communities to be best prepared for them to prevent the devastation, to the extent possible, to be able to quickly respond and recover to prove ourselves. written brazilian, the white house is approved federal aid for the area that will bring temporary housing money for repairs and low cost loans to cover uninsured losses. people have started to return to recover what they can, where they can rebuilding starts know recovering from the loss of life and property . that will take much longer island fisher. i'll just get up to kenya. now we're more than a 100 people have been killed in the past 6 months by armed casual raiders. bandits have been stephen livestock and displacing people, internal politics and the lucrative traits have made it difficult for the
5:26 am
government to deal with the problem. catherine, sol, reports from but county this is a road in north swift valley that cast through 3 counties. it was supposed to make movement in hiding communities easier, but it's a road that is hardly used because of crime, county security forces or targeting a 62 kilometer stretch of rolling heels gorges as covenants and caves that are hard to excess wear cattle. thieves hide out, we passed through an area called tatty people who live here say young man used this roads to carry out cross border talks. the community leaders in the village of charl told al jazeera that they've been stigmatized and labeled bandits. i promise about that with them we are afraid even to travel to other areas. what people say young men from po quarter, my community that are aggressive,
5:27 am
they say we haven't guns, we're using and that we have criminals in our media center, but we have been tainted. we're also dealing with the same band. it coming to steal from us local hub. oh you are now who about you? the military and police have been deployed to some pots. cattle rating is a historic problem, and kenya, the government has struggled to deal with it for me. yes. remember, the alternatives in these areas are very limited to various cache. the infrastructure is extremely wanting, the probably some of the most desperate or parts of the country, not for the region. and so unless we transform these communities and give them a different system of economic survival is going to be challenging to route out. or the roots of banditry, the into ethnic conflict has been made worse by a mix of climate change and politics. people here will do anything to protect the livestock and the mall theft is nothing new to heard in communities,
5:28 am
but some say the practice has been commercialized. the government has told hundreds of people to leave their homes in areas where the security operation is being carried out. most of those who have been displaced have moved to safe a houses. but they are now living rough in crowded houses and open space is angeline looming guy. and he says, she's decided to move here because it's near police comp. pleasure. but listen, life is tough. we have nothing. we left most of our belonging back home. we have been robbed, we have no blanket because we have no cutlery. we cover ourselves with sacks at night, and with an elderly people who live here say they hope the security operation will help. but they also, talis things may not change much. katherine saw all the 0 north west valley. now finally, this bulletin book binding as
