been cut the fighting started because we've been paying thousands sudanese scrambling to escape the violence. but agencies say that neighboring countries are unprepared for a new influx of refugees. contin monahan has people in cartoon are desperate to get out, gathering whatever they can carry. they're seeking safety wherever they can find it . many have already crossed into chat more or likely to follow. we would week next week. then hundreds and hundreds of people that there had jumped into that particular we're, we're be like to deal name dorothy, and the time to chat whenever they may not be available. nobody got no router and nothing. chad has its own problems. conflict in climate change have less more than 2000000 people struggling to get enough to eat. and it's already hosting hundreds of thousands of refugees who fled conflicts in the region.

agencies fear that won't be enough to go around just this morning. we'll dispatching boys of food date 410000 people only for 2 months or 20000 people one months. and it's very complex. we are boring from a project. and but we really support. we cannot continue like this back in food on the violence as an escalating and both sides are refusing to talk. those leading the fighting have no way of knowing if or when they'll see their homes again. centered monahan al jazeera. now unicef says at least 9 children has been killed and 50 others injured. during this conflict spokesman, james elder says the agency is also struggling to provide cancer, $50000.00 critically ill and non norris children. a week ago, before his crisis, there were millions of children boys and girls that didn't have a chance to go to school. so that had one of the highest rates of malnutrition on

the planet. horrendous rights of employment in a young among young people, millions and millions without access to st. florida. now you all families who can't get outside, we talk to know what's happened, get water. being cool in the crossfire we go, you know, large numbers of children in hospitals. there any way that they are reaching because they're so severely malnourished. she's is with the chew through their nose now or finding gets new that hospital and doctors and nurses have to play the psyche wolf then. so you go to the great risk of large numbers of children dying through this conflict. if it doesn't stop, not because they're on the front lines will be who is this fall and near near them . but because if they went into these conflicts in such a precarious state, one of things use it does very well for us to really mountain our children. is to get those mobile services around those children so you can identify, you can do external support, therapeutic support for those children that is completely safe. so we're talking

about tens of thousands of children who need that support, not necessarily in hospitals, but who can be reach, reach normally remotely, with therapeutic food, which is a life center. now in rural areas right now, what option to fit families have they can go to a mock at the mock it's being burned in the capitol. of course you have a great, a population density and a much more reliance on, on water coming through pipelines and that is being destroyed. so it's, it's hard to, oh, the state just what the boys and girls are going through. ah, now that chinese foreign minister is in the philippines, asthma as staging its largest ever military exercises with the united states shingle is meeting his counterpart as well as the philippine president fed, non marcus union. the countries have deep economic ties, but undisputed, every territory in south china sea come at joseph,

. there have been negative reaction from china, especially with regards to the philippines, giving more access to the u. s. military to its basis, especially in areas close to taiwan. and the latest of that was a speech by the chinese ambassador to manila last week, where and he said that, or he was advising the philippines to unequivocally oppose taiwan independence. if the philippines truly cared about the 150000 bill, no living and working in taiwan and both public officials and ordinary filipinos did not take that remark too well. um and some of them wanting the chinese ambassador, expelled from the philippines stuff philippine president, fernand. marcus junior downplayed that statement saying that it may have just been lost in translation. so definitely this is an opportunity to sort of cleared the air there so and did all the tensions. barnaby. i see you as president biden is

welcoming, present macos danielle to the white house. and just over a week and been curious about the timing that china's obviously going to be watching very warily. that's right. i philippine president ferdinand marcus junior will be traveling to the united states to meet with you as president joe biden on may 1st in the white house. and this is just the latest in a series of engagements between the philippines and the united states. we are in, so be great now. and to morrow, there will be by look at that activities here by look at that exercises. as you mentioned this year, the largest ever joint wargames between the philippines and the united states. and so it started with us defense secretary lloyd austin's visit to manila, and then the announcement of 4 additional locations where the u. s. military will

have access to. and then the violet that exercises yesterday, the announcement that the united states will be providing a $100000000.00 for the philippines to be able to buy disaster relief helicopter. so it's just been one engagement after another. and china has not been happy about this, especially with regards to the locations of these 4 military bases that the us now have access to. so they will definitely be watching very closely. that meeting between president marcus and president by did associate on a be low there for us with all the latest from the philippines. thank you so much, bobby onto the us now. and the supreme court has blocked restrictions imposed by low a court on a widely used abortion pill by the legal case continues and comes a week off to a federal court ruled that the pell will remain available. but with some conditions may, for preston has one of 2 drugs used for abortion across the united states. the legal battle over the drug began harley this month when a federal judge in texas ordered

a nationwide ban. shebra tansy has more from washington, dc. the legal battle over accessed him if a prestone will continue oral arguments are scheduled to begin and the 5th circuit court of appeals on may the 17th. but while that legal process plays out, a majority of justices here at the supreme court decided that access to the drug should remain widely available. and 2nd guessing the food and drug administration, the regulatory process before those legal arguments have played out. in fact, there is some expectation that in the, in this case will return to the supreme court once the 5th court of appeals has made its decision. but what a precedent it would be if the supreme court had agreed with restrictions on a drug that had been widely available for 23 years with proven efficacy and a lack of health problems. joe biden,

very quick to welcome the decision saying that this is another, another sign that the american people india need to vote democrat and create a congress where abortion can be codified once and for all. the democrats know, especially a time when joe biden has very low approval ratings. a democratic party in general, has very low approval ratings. as we saw in the mid terms. this is an issue that swing voters independent basis and the democratic base can get behind. jabber, tennessee, al jazeera, washington peruse, former president is set to be extradited from the us to face corruption charges a 100 to later 100 himself into authorities in california. on friday, he's accused of taking more than $25000000.00 and bribes during his 5 year presidency. to later request a block, his extradition was denied by a federal judge. mariana sanchez, has moved from lima. homer president ali handled the little finally turned himself

government deputy prime minister dominic rob, who was also the justice minister and a staunch supporter of sue, not from the get go and his leadership bit, but a 5 month long investigation into allegations of rob, over seeing a whole star work culture revealed to counsel misconduct had been upheld. and as he said, he would rob stood down in his resignation letter. he pledged his continued support for the prime minister, but defended his conduct and called the enquiry floored and one that set a dangerous precedent that would encourage spurious complaints against ministers, opposition? politicians disagree. i don't know why dominic rob, in the middle of a cost living crisis, think that anybody wants to hear about his whining about having to resign. what i think everybody wants is strong leadership, but that has been palpably absent here. reports of his behavior surface back in

2021. when rob served under boris johnson, and while he was foreign secretary, when he delayed returning home for holiday during the chaotic withdrawal of u. k. embassy personnel from afghanistan. but the man who was stepped in to lead the country when johnson was hospitalized with covered 19, remained at the heart of government. but dominic rob now gone, the prime minister now finds himself without his most local political ally. and there are still questions of why it took so long for mister, sooner to address the issue of mister rob's conduct. and if he had been warned before, hiring him as his deputy, the loss of the prime minister's chief ally comes at a particularly difficult time for soon, 9 months of strikes, soaring, inflation and energy prices attested the resolve of the country and its leaders. after the high drama of johnson years and live trust is short,

but turbulent tenure as leader sudak promised. accountability, or integrity and professionalism with a claim he hoped, would convince the public. in spite of questions that remain about the culture inside westminster, sonya eagle al jazeera london, now more african countries who upset to approve a new vaccine from an area developed in the you came dana and niger and both already endorsed the use of the new are 21 job, those moves were seen as unusual though because the world health organization hasn't yet approved the vaccine for such as the university of oxford faith, 75 percent effective. malaria kills around $660000.00 people every year. mostly in africa. dr. thomas winston honor by as the executive director for the african center for health policy, research and analysis. she says more information is needed though to avoid vaccines skepticism. it is good for, i still have the box in for malaria to save. a lot of this are if we kept the code

costing billions, displacing millions. this is earth. they messages. we must invest in our planets. we ask ourselves, or is the scale of our response to date, meaning the scale, the challenges? the answer is clear now, but i can, we still need those challenges? the answer in my view is a clear. yes. and that involves public pressure of elected officials and other leaders. it involves accountability, increased accountability. ah, it involves tremendous creative city. ah, in order to meet these challenges, the founders of earth, they knew very well. this fact how humanity treats the world reflects how the world treats humanity. 53 is on. we see evidence of that. every single day. i speaking of evidence more than 2000000 people in thailand have now reported sicknesses

yeah, this is a big part of the problems. shrubs burnt off in the forest that cover the whole of northern thailand by the villagers to live in these areas. in the hope of the ash left behind, when the monsoon rain comes, we'll leave fertile ground for growing mushrooms and other vegetables. but it's the mass burning of agricultural waste, sugar cane and corn, which the real culprit. large agro businesses take the product, leaving farmers to burn off. what's left behind. this is happening across thailand, miramar, laos, and cambodia. making the region one of the most polluted in the world where they were knit upon p mouth chair to parliamentary subcommittee on p. m. 2.5, pollution. it recommended the government subsidized farmers not to burn their waste but nothing happened. and he thinks he knows why the problem is because of that, they become money, their support, some parties, and also support our military,

the prime minister himself brave the smoke to go out campaigning is an election next month. whatever i know you said you'd answer the question is when you had 8 years in how are, why have you done nothing about the pollution this nursery school is having air filters fitted pollution. this bad can cut life expectancy by 3 to 5 years. children are particularly vulnerable, but as they settled down for their afternoon nap, even if it's only for a couple of hours, these kids will finally have clean air to breathe. tourney chang al jazeera chang. my thailand are muslims in many parts of the wild. a mocking eat a celebration of the end of the holy month of ramadan. in india and morning prayers have been held at new delhi as tamela, austin. the timing of it is determined by the sizing of the crescent lane,
