6:02 pm
more than 2 decades weeks after a cycle. and freddy devastated the country. at least 1000000 people have been affected by floods and the outbreak. the un says damage to water on medical facilities is making the spread of the disease worse. 11 other african countries are also reporting increasing numbers of cases. the un children's agency says the east and south, the confidence are facing an emergency. for me, the miller has more from mozambique. well, when mamba aware they've been a number of campaigns to try and make people as aware as possible, all of the cholera outbreak and some of the dangers that they face. because many of the homes in this area don't have running water. also, apart from cycle on friday, they have been economic as well as develop developmental challenges. and so this type of area doesn't need of development. and there are limited health care facilities. and people here. so gathering water,
6:03 pm
collecting water rather from rivers and streams in the area with buckets, and then walking quite a distance to their homes with that water, the waters, untreated. and so the health workers go door to door here trying to get people to understand the need to boil that water. they need to be aware of water born diseases. and in this case, specifically colorado, they say they are being received well, people are understanding the concerns and the threats beta. and they're hoping that this kind of awareness will stop the spread of cholera or at least listening to some extent the worst hit areas are places like in the money. the government is concerned and says that it wants to distribute at least $2000000.00 color of vaccines through this year. so far a few 100000 have been distributed, some had been deleted. we know the world health organization is also contributed. there is concern that it won't reach the number, the necessary number of people needed to deal with this outbreak adequately. the military and sudan has sent reinforcements of the northern city of marie as
6:04 pm
tensions mounts between the army and the paramilitary force. the army says the rapid support forces arm group is mobilizing the capital, hard tune and other cities. but the recept says the deployments are part of its normal duties. the 2 sides are in dispute over proposals to integrate the group into the military shower sold n e l m e. the responsibility of protecting the safety and security of the country falls on the shoulders of the armed forces. according to the constitution, i'm with the law has organized how this support is offered. depending on this, we should raise the alarm running. all countries going through a dangerous and historic turn i'm a very, 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,
6:05 pm
which has raised fears in the public deepened security concerns and raised tensions among organized forces. let's take a closer look at sir don's rapid support forces both. so the unit was formed in 2013 to fight armed groups, and adar for region. it was later used in crackdowns on antique government protests . the r s f lead the response and rallies and hearts room and june 2019 in which a 123 people were killed on hundreds injured than last month talks between the paramilitary unit and the army. fail to reach an agreement on when it would be integrated into the armed forces. they are assess, says it needs 10 years while the army wants only to hebron morgan is joining us now from khartoum. so how much tension is there right now between the military and the r s f, about what we've heard from the military are urging, or rather giving orders to the r s f to move from the base,
6:06 pm
or rather the station that they set up as much o e, as well as to us, thought their troop movement without the authorization of the army that has not happening in fact, of seem more enforcement as formative through sources arriving into the capital. hot zoom and more enforcements in murray as well. so tension still remain high between the 2 sides, despite the fact that various sides have tried to mediate between the. c ahead of the army, the head of our staff, to reduce the tensions. now, the tensions are not only in terms of how long it would take doris, have to integrate into the army. but there's also the issue of the command structure. doris f wants to fall under the command of a civilian government. once a deal of time, the transitional government is formed while the army wants the hours have to fall under its cool man for the duration of the 2 years until elections are held. so these differences have let to a delay in signing an agreement to handle the power to civilian government. and to further tensions between b r a step and the military in the capital hot assume and other cities in the country. so going forward, hardaway expect those to affect the already unstable situation in the country.
6:07 pm
well, this is not just a ballistic of development diarrhea. this is a military development, so its implications will not be like any other political term model that this country's going through. both sides are to be, are, have habits true across the country and across 15 states or more. then there's also the, the food in these armed forces with stations around the country. both sides are both with potential to cause heavy dam, i just not just to each other, but the civilian lives as well. so we've seen political parties urging to side to use wisdom and not to use military force to try to iron out their differences. because should they go to work with each other, whether it's here in the capital consume or other city that would escalate and have a country wide implication and would lead to a lots of life including civilian life. ok, thank you. have a morgan reporting from hard to me. now the head of the un mission and molly has told the security council that peacekeeping operations are stretched thin attacks

6:16 pm
his regime from you on. but as you know, so the radio is doing, it's all reproach mall with iran as of the last few weeks. and hence that condition no longer really applies. and so the road to, to more normalization if you were between 2 took, the 2 countries opened up egypt for minister a sam shockley is visiting turkey for the 2nd time this year. so that because it comes as the previously strained relationship between the 2 countries eases shockley already met his turkish counterpart level of customer quote. in cairo last month, the relationship soured in 2013 when egypt then army chief, the fact that his c c led the removal of the elected president mohammed murphy ties between the 2 countries, soured in 2013, as we just said. and that's when the c c lighting, military coup against the elected president, 100 mercy, who was a turkish ally from 2017 turkey. it supported cat har during

6:20 pm
d. a election. thank you center because of, of low reporting from ankara. lebanon is facing an economic crisis, blamed on years of mismanagement and corruption. so a bailout from the international monetary fund has been proposed as the only realistic chance of recovery. but political and financial elite are refusing zanna her. that reports from beirut, lebanon is buying wheat through a world bank loan. it's the only way to insure the price of bread. a main staple remains subsidized. the state is nearly bankrupt and struggling to pay importers in dollars. if it was not for the world bank loan to day, we would have been looking at a price of bread that is over a $120000.00 lebanese lead us, which is almost her twice the current price. the wheat loan is one of many projects
6:21 pm
financed by the world bank. roughly $80000.00 families are receiving cash assistance as part of a social safety net program. it helped build but it has fet 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 accuse of decades of corruption. it says the financial lifeline lebanon needs will only come through an agreement with the international monetary fund. and that requires economic and fiscal reforms and proper oversight over public finances. but decision maker is backed 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
6:22 pm
a clear path that has been taken that has seen most of the deposits in the banking sector, liquidated, or near a fide, if one can say at a very, very discount to date. and we have seen that for, you know, 3040000000000 dollar dollar supply all the while. the economic situation is we're sitting with inflation and triple digits. 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 worn without that level on good faith and never end in crisis. that will have a reversible consequences, especially for the poor santa who there is either they roots. jordan's foreign ministry is warning israel against imposing restrictions on worshippers for
6:23 pm
orthodox easter celebrations and occupied eastern alom attendance at saturdays holy fire ceremony in the church of the holy supper. will be limited from the usual 10000 to 18 hundreds. israel says it's for safety reasons. church leaders say the restrictions are unnecessary and they've urged christians to attend the celebration police. and thirdly, inappropriate replacing the burden or the churches to issue the stations while tying the churches hence with unreasonable restrictions that will prevent worshippers from attending, especially our local communities. this makes difficult, our cooperation with the police. russell sardar has more from occupied easter resell. i'm this is regarding the holiest week for the christians all around the world, but in jerusalem, israeli government has decided to put me restrictions on decreasing communities regarding the access to the holy churches here and the canadian. a huge concern
6:24 pm
regarding the escalation of the passion in jerusalem. we have seen that statements offer statements coming from different christian denominations and the churches condemning israel and seeing that despite the decision of the government to put the need restriction, they are calling the believer. the christian believers to attend the ceremony to fortify ceremony on on saturday. so here the reaction of the israeli occupation forces he is going to be determinative whether that's going to see a new cash and this time between the fish forces and the christian believers or not . so here it's not only the policy and williams who are complaining about the israeli follicle here, but now to see that the christians are also seeing that israeli government year by year is increasing the restriction. and they are coming with the new procedures with the new protocol that is making it impossible to have free access to the
6:25 pm
worship. places on the ground. yes, seen that the value of completion forces are imposing the barrier and also checking all the people. and they're also making it compulsory for the church to send out the invitations for those who are going to attend the ceremony. if anyone doesn't have that invitation, is not going to be a love to get in the church. and the church is saying that this is a definite way, elation of the status quo, and also freedom off did of the of the movement and also freedom of worship. and the international monetary fund has worn world leaders about the danger of a new cold war. speaking at the i, m f and world bank spring meeting and washington the i m f managing director crystelina georgina said this, the question is, can we be more determined to enhance security of supplies but not push the world that far, that we are into a 2nd cold war, i believe it is possible. my kind of joining us from the i m f talks in washington
6:26 pm
. tell us what more is being said, mike well, we're getting bleak predictions as to the rates of global growth. hearing that global growth this year has dropped to some 2.8 percent over the next few years. it's not likely to go over 3 percent. now this is a massive shrinkage in the past decade and certainly something that is going to create huge problems in terms of attempting to generate international economic growth. i'm joined here by a hand cosa who c, deputy economists full of the world bank. now you write in your latest report about a global speed limit, and this is a maximum rate at which economies can growth can happen without spanking inflation . now, this says shrunk by some 3rd, or is likely to shrink by some 3rd. what other river hm. indications of that there
6:27 pm
are significant ramifications venue look at the global economy. speed limit. bit was around 3 percent in the 1st decade off to smith millennium, it ran down around 2 and a half percent into 2000 to van t's meetings. going to be close to 2 percent. so in a nutshell, i lost the key is in the meeting for the global economy. if you have this type of growth, and there are good reasons why we are seeing regrouping, you look around, investment is weak. you look around, labor force growing, slowing down, and of course productivity growth has been slowing down. so all in all huge implications. we talk growth, we won't be able to generate route retail value. we won't be able to share that well. and of course, we won't be able to overcome the problem more power to and other broader development challenges we have just to look at that to you are reporting that some 60 percent of the low income countries are either in
6:28 pm
a debt crisis or near dead crisis this is a horrendous vigor. yes. very, you'll have weak growth. high interest rates, you have it, toxic combination when it comes to that payments, especially the low income countries, lower middle income countries. that problem is a truth. and in coming months, we are worried that that 60 percent number is going to go up. so global community to has to find a solution in terms of addressing the debt problem. 8, it is route. that means finding it. val define framework using the existing framework aggressively. improving it and finding ways to providing decks relief. now, these low income countries are the most venerable, and they are the ones who are bearing the brand to off this global economic shrinking. and in a way, it's widening the income gap which carries with it had phone problems where you've
6:29 pm
been talking about developing low income countries here. exactly that are, this is threatening to happen exactly. in a perfect world, you want the income level. so if these economies commercial, the income level, so reach countries, advanced economics, and what's happening over the past 4 years. there has been, you know, one shock and off the other. and of course, these multiple shocks translated into we could grow old and low income countries were it's hard up. b, last ground with respect to a power to production. and you had been losing ground in terms of other there were lockman milestones. we want to have in terms of education, in terms of how we have a bigger problem of grossing all hands with respect to climate. climate change is a huge problem for many of these low income countries. and they're, as val vinitez, largely messman when it comes to infrastructure in terms of mitigation,
6:30 pm
in terms of other station. all of these will require resources. thinking about how we are going to provide those resources, but sending private sector in to the in order for the platform, facilitating private investment. and hopefully these meetings will provide some solutions so we will make progress. well, thank you very much. and course deputy chief economist for the world bank that you hear bleak prognosis as i said that we hearing this morning in terms of global growth, but much discussion about what can be done to reverse or stop what are truly bleak trends. all right, thank you. so much my counter reporting from washington dc. stella had on the al jazeera news, our gunner becomes the 1st country to approve what's being described as a breakthrough vaccine for malaria. digging itself out of a whole wide, china has spent billions of dollars bailing out countries involved in its belt and road initiative. we have been sort find out who is next for social media and boxing
