1:01 pm
hello, i'm robinson. this is the news i live from doha, coming up with like 60 minutes warnings of a dangerous development. sedans. army says a powder military who is mobilizing its forces across the country. we're going to be alive from how to cholera surges in mozambique its worst outbreak in 2 decades after parts of the country were devastated by a cycle last month. ah, north korea launches an intercontinental ballistic missile fronting temporary evacuation orders in japan. and we look at how dangerous lebanon's economic crisis might be with the government refusing more international financial help. ah, we're going to begin this news are in sudan for the military, sent reinforcements to the northern city of metal. we as tensions mount between the
1:02 pm
army and a part of military force. the army says the rapids support forces are mobilizing in the capital, khartoum and other cities by the honors have says the deployments are part of its normal duties. the 2 sides are in dispute over proposals to integrate the group into the military sabbath. so they neil abbey, the responsibility of protecting the safety and security of the country falls on the shoulders of the armed forces. according to the constitution kilometer, the law has organized how this support is offered. depending on this, we should raise the alarm. i mean, our country's going cool. a dangerous and historic turn i value, which is increased by the mobilization of forces and re deployment of the rapid support forces inside the capitol and other cities. these movements took place without the approval of the armed forces or coordination with it, which has raised fears in the public deepened security concerns and raised tensions among organized forces to the heart. so what is sedans,
1:03 pm
rapids support force were the unit was formed in 2013, to fight on groups in the dark for region. it was later used in crackdowns and anti government protests. the ourself led the response to rallies in khartoum and june 2019, in which a 123 people were killed or hundreds were injured. last month talks between the powder military unit and the army failed to reach an agreement and when it will be integrated into the armed forces. marcella says it needs 10 years when the army once only 2, while heber morgan's joining us now from her to what is the reason for the tension that we're seeing between the military and the ari or s f. what was been seeing the differences between the leadership of the 2 institutions, the army and barris f. even before the talks to form a civilian transitional government began now in october 2021. the military took over power deposits. we're transitional government,
1:04 pm
but months after that's happened, we've thought to think statements from the head of the paramilitary r s f, saying that that takeover was a mistake and that it let sudan to appoint of a crisis that was not worth it. as for his words, when he was speaking to some of his forces and in various other public engagements, the head of the army on the other hand, describe that takeover as something that was necessary to avoid dan sliding into a political turmoil. so both had different opinions of vesa take over months after it happened, despite the fact that the 2 were on the same side when it's happened in october 2021. then we started seeing the issue of integration of the forces when the talks came to form a civilian government in the part where that there should be reforms in the security sector. now the army wants the integration of the rapid support forces into it to be happening within the 2 year transitional period. the r s f once a longer period, but there's the issue of the command itself. the arissa wants to fall under this, the, the civilian leadership that will be taking over during the transitional period.
1:05 pm
well, the military, once the command of the hours have to be under, it's under the military institution. and they want to make sure that the forces and the offices off b a, b r, s, f r, a, assessed before they're integrated into the army. so there are different opinions on how this integration and security sector reform should happen between the 2 sides. and that is what is leading to the point where we are right as where we are aware where i'm at right now with our forces from the rapid support forces moving in murray, where they're now stationed at the airport and the army saying that this is against their orders, and that's, that should withdraw from that area. something that is yet to happen, despite the fact that the army says it's will use force if it needs to, to move the arist of forces from the base near. they are near the airports and marry her, but the situation in the country is already pretty unstable. what kind of impact is, is having well, political parties and the army have repeatedly been warning that any kind of
1:06 pm
tension whatsoever will lead the country into further chaos. we've seen political term while we've seen the effect of had in the country's economy on the everyday life here. but now we're talking about 2 armed groups. we're talking about the paramilitary group, which has its forces and it's for and it's weaponry. and we're talking about the military, these tensions, it should it escalate, like one of the political parties here. incidentally, omar piracy has warned, should it escalate, it would lead to a full on were between the 2 sides. and that would lead the country into a civil war is something that many political parties have been warning against the omar party release the statement warningly. other, other parties not to take sides, but rather try to mediate between the r s f and the military to try to avoid an a confrontation. now we've seen the protest, they've been largely peaceful. and this is, this is something that many people, not just the parties, but even the people in the streets have been concerned about this thing that they've wanted there to that this revolution and this transition to be a peaceful democratic transition. but should those 2 sides go up against each other
1:07 pm
because both are arm, then we'll see a civil war. and all political processes happening in the country right now would come to an end with fighting happening between the 2 sides. and there will be consequences of civilian casualties her, but thank you very much indeed that said morgan talking to us from cartoon hollow care, is the finding the router at conference advisory of think st. bruce in courtroom. and she's joining us via skype. thank you very much. indeed for being with us. now let's talk about these re deployments that they are surf, say, it's that it's making how ordinary, how normal unusual is it for the r s f to make these types of re deployments? well the i said has been, we deployed via sam actually at several times throughout his history. the difference now is that the, the heads of these 2 organizations ah, at loggerheads and the sap isn't with the, our staff is maneuvering itself in one of saddam's most strategic sites, which is that narrowly down. and it's unclear to what extent yet this chart,
1:08 pm
this issue between the generals is related to that, the gyptian presence either a lot number, but we're thing that it, it didn't, they've never been as sort of closer to a standard and they hadn't been there at the moment given the differences that was that hebert was talking about in terms of the time scale in terms of the who, the r s f were, would respond to a report to what is the comma, what is a common ground for this? how do you find a way through this because the way that they're, they're talking both sides are very far apart of the moment. absolutely. and they have been full some time. and in this division between the hours of and staff really thought it 4 years ago with the fall of this year. and this is now the combination of 4 years of fragmentation within the security factor. and because it's been several years of this fragmentation, we now see multiple sovereignties in the country. and so you know that the sample has a say, and the r assess has to say, and sometimes one will,
1:09 pm
em supercede the other. that is not the kind of a, you know, sort of fertile ground for any sort of sustainable civilian democracy. and it's very difficult to figure out what's incentive each site will need to have to, to make the relevant concessions in order to move it on hold it because, you know, the architect is not on to move against its interests and neither the sa and both have a very strong and regional and a domestic schools is that will help them to buttress those positions really ins as to get your thoughts on this call. okay, thank you very much. indeed, for your time time or head on the news are including the law in russia that could ban men from leaving the country and press them to fight brazil's president louis enough. luna da silva, heads to china to talk business and investment, but his country's biggest trading pot ah
1:10 pm
weeks after cycle friday, hit mozambique the countries facing its worst outbreak of cholera in more than 20 years. at least 1000000 people have been affected by floods and the epidemic b. u i and the says damage to water medical facilities is worsening. the spread of the disease, 11 other african countries are also reporting increasing numbers of cases. the un children's agency says the east and south african continent are facing an emergency . the world health organization is wanting. the number of color cases is rising exponentially around the world. a shortage of vaccines medicines and testing kits is forcing agencies to ration doses or family members joining us now from wanda in mozambique. what's happening where you are family while people are coming into this clinic in one before a variety of reasons. some of them have displayed symptoms of cholera and that's what health workers ya,
1:11 pm
i looking out for. so they're able to then test and treat people because of course, they really worried about the spread of color, as you've mentioned then. and also agencies have said color. i is that the number of colors cases in is increasing by what they have said is an alarming rate. but health work is you're also concerned because they are a number of challenges. they don't have enough equipment. they don't have enough tests. they also don't have enough beds if the number of color or patients rises. and this is what they've also been appealing for. and in some cases they've made, you know, plans i suppose act in clinics like this one to try to accommodate people as best as they can. but we've also come from a nearby river to this clinic where people are collecting water. and that's part of the issue of the water resources, sanitation and hygiene, and people collecting war to their use it for everything including doing their laundry and consumption. some people know to boil the water and others don't. so
1:12 pm
they are health officials from places like those that are going door to door to educate people as best as they can to try and stop the spread. and they're hoping that this will be successful, vomit, that's what it looks like where you are. but what does it look like across the region on a wider scale? well, the government says it wants to distribute at least $2000000.00 doses of cholera vaccines through the year. at least a few 100000 have been distributed so far. they have made as some progress in terms of dealing with trying to protect people from cholera agencies have also said that what is key is this awareness campaign in trade showcasing people a to ensure that they are kept safe. 1 1 of the other things they have to do is try to assess and treat water facilities and resources or sources rather. and that's where that is perhaps a lag and trying to assess and treat a water sources that the government has said that it is concerned. but it's working
1:13 pm
with international agriculture a when there's ations to make sure that they try to do with the situation successfully. but at the moment, the situation is, is far worse in the north of the country, in places like kelly manuel, for example, there hasn't been running water restored to all areas. and again, this points to the issue of sanitation and hygiene. so until that is dealt with until the impact of psychos, freddy, we, a hospitals and health facilities were impacted either their operations halted as some facilities entirely destroyed. they is going to continue to be a problem around just how effectively the government as well as 8 organizations can assist and can deal with the cholera outbreak. farmer miller talking to us from warmer, in mozambique from it. i thank you very much. indeed sir. carriers military says north korea has launched what may be a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile defense. government issued a temporary evacuation orders and her condo,
1:14 pm
expecting the michelle to land near the island. it fell in the waters between the korean peninsula and japan. the launch comes days after north korea's leader criminal own called for more offensive military to turns to counter south korea and the u. s. rob mcbride reports from so the miss all was detected early thursday being launched from close to pyongyang and it was towards the end of its half hour flight tracking east over the sea that separates the korean peninsula from japan. that all thirties in the golden japanese island of her kite, raised that alarm, telling people to take shelter faring that the missile or the debris from it could fall in or around the island of her cato itself. in the past north career and some of its more provocative launches have sent missiles over the top of her kite, out into the pacific ocean as it was with this launch. the missile fell far short, but it did have a lost the trajectory reaching out to, to, to some, 3000 kilometer,
1:15 pm
which is led people to speculate whether this was an intermediate range, ballistic missiles or a longer range, heavier intercontinental ballistic missile. the kind of giant weapons that north korea has been showing off of the military parade, which it has resumed development and testing of in the past year. either way, as with previous lodges, this has been roundly condemned by officials here and in japan. going all i circled this launch is an outrageous actor, escalates the provocation against the entire international community. and a series of actions by north korea, including repeated launches of ballistic missiles. 3 since the peace and security of our country and the international community. absolutely, unacceptable. in south korea and military officials are also studying whether this could have been a new type of missiles using solid fuel. such weapons are more sophisticated,
1:16 pm
they can be more quickly, the floyd from a mobile launcher, making them harder to detect and defend against and would represent a significant development in the north miss l program. rob mcbride, i'll just era. so craig mark as a professor of international studies and killed it, su women's university in tokyo, and he's saying thanks pyongyang, his goal is to disrupt renewed efforts between south korea and japan to come to the north. it just shows the ongoing danger of the north korea's position that they determined to show that they have a threatening capacity to deter any attacks upon its territory. and they wanting to maintain attention, made all the other international crises, such as the chinese military exercises around taiwan this week. and of course, the ongoing warn you crate, the japanese in the south korean defense ministries,
1:17 pm
restoring their ties in sharing intelligence, the potential cooperation for emergencies involving north korea. and of course, the united states. hilda large scale military drills with south korea. and of course, the united states is also has many bases here in japan. so we're trying to disrupt this cooperation would be an objective of the north koreans. however, this is only more likely to make japan was determined to continue building up its defenses to deter potential south korean attacks. and also potentially china and russia, syria and saudi arabia resuming counselor services on flights for the 1st time since the 2011 uprising and civil war, the syrian foreign ministers in jetta on the 1st such visit and over a decade, fossil mac, that meant prince fossil, i've been far hung the 2 discussed efforts to find a political solution to the city and crisis. we had supported city is opposition to
1:18 pm
the beginning of the war. and the country was shunned by out of nations after brutal government crackdown. so civilians, but ties with a bunch of other side government have improved in recent months. an iranian delegation also arrived in riyadh to discuss reopening its embassy and consulate, the countries or restoring ties which were 77 years ago. and a deal brokered by china, it comes as days after a saudi delegation visited iran's capital and cotton and buck rain have announced they will restore diplomatic ties. the statement comes after a high level meeting in riyadh. the 2 sides said they want to strengthen relations and enhance unity within the region. in 2017, behind joint saudi arabia, u e. and egypt, and imposing a blockade and cut out in january borrowings, crown prince. spose otto's inner. amir sick in. tell them i am on. she's come and been hama diatanni by phone to discuss differences. lebanon is facing an
1:19 pm
economic crisis, blamed on use of mismanagement and corruption, a bail out from the international monetary fund has been proposed as the only realistic chance of recovery. but political and financially leads are refusing. in a hot reports from beirut, lebanon is buying wheat through a world bank loan. it's the only way to ensure the price of bread a means staple remained subsidized. this state is nearly bankrupt and struggling to pay importers in dollars. if it was not for the world bank lawn to day, we would have been looking at a price of bread that is over a $120000.00 liberties lead us, which is almost are twice the current price. the wheat loan is one of many projects financed by the world bank. roughly $80000.00 families are receiving cash assistance as part of his social safety net program. it helped build but it has set
1:20 pm
conditions on funding that's not for emergency use. for example, in order for the nearly collapsed energy industry to get funding, lebanon has to audit the state electricity company responsible for much of the government's debt. the international community says it won't bailout a political class accused of decades of corruption. it says the financial lifeline lebanon needs will only come through an agreement with the international monetary funds. and that requires economic and fiscal reforms, improper oversight over public finances. but decision makers back by the business elite have not shown interest. so far, they've made the public pay for an estimated $70000000000.00 in losses. there is a clear path or that has been taken that has seen most of the deposits in the rankings as the sector liquidated, or the refined, if what one can say at a very,
1:21 pm
very discounted rate. and we have seen that for, you know, $3040000000.00 donor. so for all the while the economic situation is worsening with inflation and triple digits. and they're both em waiver cleared up. the government has been absent. it's done nothing. the economies in ruins and unemployment is high . analysts say, and i am have program would unlock billions of dollars in funding, and also gives investors confidence the country as reforming and many warn without that lebanon, good faith, the never ending crisis that will have a reversible consequences, especially for the poor seneca. there al jazeera beirut, the insecurity cancels been discussing the future of its peacekeeping operations in marley, several nations are planning to withdraw their troops from the mission that's often described as the u. n's. most dangerous violence by on groups has been worsening.
1:22 pm
on molly's government is increasingly turning to russian mercenaries. our diplomatic editor james bay's spoke to the un had omission and molly, but the future does the auction of, of increasing the troop presence in marley, the number of peacekeepers by as many as 3680. what would that enable you to do? if the security council went for that option, what i did see that we operate in a difficult environment with mounting security needs of population that are subjected to daily violence by terrorist, extremely scope or safer from anther coroner violence. we have basis in large parts of mighty that need to be supplied and those basis have to be supplied and perfect that we have to support what he's got. processes including the organization for the out of elections for which secret jazz to be provided. so the needs for
1:23 pm
enhance, mismatched the nits out of there. so we are of a stretch that, that we actually saw the need for an increase presence. event that out, as you rightly pointed out, our options, one, maintaining that school and the other one, transforming the mission into a special political mission. let me ask you about that. option 3, because that seems to be the most radical option that you're proposing the golf option to would be to reduce the, the, the footprint of the mission and reduce your activities. option 3 though, is as you say, to transform it to just a political office. and remove the peacekeepers. what would it mean for molly? if the un troops pulled out, i believe that that would lead to a rapid duration of the security situation. it will affect the evidence we could already see in areas where we are not able to operate where there might not be. so
1:24 pm
to put it, the level of violence against dempsey is extremely high, triggering huge displacement, so that could be replicated elsewhere. mighty and take a completely different scope and it will also have serious consequences for the region. miley central for the stablish of the taste region. and obviously if mighty, was to be overwhelmed by violence, that will have serious consequences. not only for the stupid for the region as a whole, it's the security council opt to pull the peacekeepers out, convert what you have to a political office. would that be a failure of everything that amendment knows more had, has done over 10 years? well, 1st, they don't want to anticipate what the counselor would, the 3rd, but what they know and what they heard. trudy is a strong support to the mission, recognition of the ward that the machine is doing on the ground. in spite of the course strength of the challenges we are facing and the desired by the council, to quote you to support by the brazil's president lewis and matthew lillard is
1:25 pm
silva, is in china to boost political and economic ties with his nation's biggest trading partner. arrived in shanghai for the inauguration of brazil's former president dill muddle surf as the head of the new development bank that was set up by brazil, russia chant, china, india, and south africa, known as the bricks, a group of emerging economies. president lula will then head to beijing, but is expected to discuss the ukraine war with president she jean payne. and we're just mahoney is a professor of politics and international relations at east china normal university . he's joining us from shanghai. thank you very much. indeed for being with us on al jazeera, brazil and china do have very strong trading links, but how much leverage diplomatically and politically does that give brazil with china? well, we do know that that lula is wanting to reengage relations, have gone a little bit off track with his predecessor both scenario. and there was some
1:26 pm
concern that both scenario had really emphasized agricultural, raw materials, these sorts of things, maybe at the expense of some of louis interest, morton manufacturing. it is hard to compete with selling manufactured goods in china, given the giant has the most advanced manufacturing system in the world. but he has obviously, as you noted, the interest in attending the rules and regulations they're, they're very close friends. they're, they're close comrades. and he clearly has his agenda with, with ukraine wanting to support the efforts there, as well as i think, to strike a balance with brazil between the united states and china. this follows, of course, is trip to visit biden. and he's, he's clearly making some very powerful signals here that also run a little bit contrary to, with washington, with other words like to hear app in order to be safe and effective. go between
1:27 pm
between russia and ukraine, he would have to talk to russia as well. and how much influence does he have with russia compared to that that he has perhaps with china? well, i don't, i don't think that that's necessarily his objective. i mean, clearly, i think he is envisioning a global south of effort where there would be a number of countries from the global cell coming together to support this type of effort to, to find and negotiated settlement. this is why i, he's a been talking about it, why's talking with china? so i don't, i don't think that he necessarily envisions brazil taking the lead or brazil necessarily being the primary mediator with russia that that would probably be more suitable to to beijing. but he does see it as a, as a global self let effort, where different countries have different leverages like that night. that might be
1:28 pm
useful for finding a diplomatic solution. and it's, it's going to be a bit of a time walk, isn't it far for a little over? because as you mentioned before, he's trying to also re establish relations with the united states that had gone awry under the president under the leadership of a giant bow sonata. what is the u. s? do think gonna be watching from vis visits and that luna is making to china? what is it going to be looking for to see how that's going to play out? well i think one thing that they're hoping is that he won't be as inflammatory as president le chrome was on his accent. talking about europe avoiding becoming bashful states. lou, you know, is, is what we might call a legacy. leftist, you know, he is very much admired by, by business leaders by wall street. he's a pragmatist. clearly he went to visit the united states. now he's come to china. he wants, he has to acknowledge the fact that china is brazil's largest trading partner. that
1:29 pm
china invest more in brazil than anyone else. and he's also very, very committed, ideologically to the global south. but you know, the certain images like him in shanghai visiting a while way research laboratory is clearly going to play very poorly in washington, which of course has demonized chinese technology and white white as well as the the deal to jointly construct the c v e r. s 6 satellites. this is a clear high tech deal that will certainly irritate the united states and all the more so because it connects in a certain sense to china as space program, which the us has made illegal. and for the us itself, that bricks, coalition, brazil, russia, india, china, and south africa. it's been a long been positioning itself as an alternative to northern hemisphere
1:30 pm
organizations, if you'd like, like the g 7, for example. what are the signs that it is heading towards that that is beginning to achieve that goal? well, you know, i think one of the big things that we're starting to see not just with bricks but with other countries, is that the outline not? not yet the reality of. and certainly, i don't think necessarily in the near term, but the outlines of the new world order in terms of finance. one of the other big achievements here is that the 2 countries are going to move towards settlements and their respective currencies and bypass the dollar. we're seeing similar developments with other leading economies even, even in some cases, recently a deal between a french company and china clearing natural gas sell in r m d. this is i think where the world is heading and bricks. clearly,
1:31 pm
i think, especially with the new development bank in tandem with various other major projects associated with it, including the belt road initiative. this is the main thrust of where things are going. joseph mahoney is really interesting. get your thoughts on this and we appreciate you being with us and i'll just, you know, thank you very much. indeed. i can still had on al jazeera ah biden's irish homecoming. the u. s. president gets a warm welcome as horizon islands, re explore his ancestral woods and white fighting in democratic republic of congo as leading sizes, as she's unable to continue their education. ah
