12:10 am
imagine they need clean water or electricity. they need the medical personnel to replace those who are working on by the way. i appreciate what the, the, the, be great with my colleague and all the medical stuff and doing this go all these. there are some of the on the capital cartoon reports of the worst violence of come from dar for the western desert region, the borders chad, the rapids support forces is made up of members of the judge agreed that lead years of violence and western dar for as many as 300000 people have been killed and 2700000 displaced in fighting the region since 2003 doctors without borders in the city of alpha. sheer say there medics have been overwhelmed by the number of patients with gunshot wounds. many of them children and they have been widespread clashes in the city of elder nina. the fighting started after chance suspended the operation of
12:11 am
a joint force with sudan on their border to avoid being drawn into the conflict were maggi or north. he is a specialist in chad politics and a senior researcher at the institute for security studies. he joins me now live via skype from and jemina. welcome to the news hour. so how ready and willing is chad to potentially take large numbers of people fleeing the fighting in sudan and heading in the direction of chad. ok, thank you. let us 1st of the called the fact that from the previous us with an is conflict is still under the hosta of 40100002 that. and is that if you just and as a consequence of the ongoing conflict, it's actually between 10020000 feet above only the being that received in chad. so either way, chad, the very willing are receiving doors that have fridges, but the problem is just the challenge going along with distribution. because it's actually happening in the context of where the war food program has communicated
12:12 am
some days ago about its difficulties in covering the needs of the features that are already in the country. meaning that in the east part of the country, but also in the, was spotted on the lake tub in also in the south of the country. so actually it's a situation that is really putting an international humanitarian law help system, a job under stress. but also the state as such as under stress because receiving accommodate inc and feeding all of those a big number. i did challenge, right? well the situation is still go outside and are going right and talking about the stress on the security situation as well. the local source of the city of l janina close to the border with chad told al jazeera that widespread clashes took place this morning there between the sudanese army and the rapid support forces, elkin nina is where joint border forces on chad and sudan are based to we know if all of chad's forces have suspended operations, have they left now exactly. i can get to the,
12:13 am
regarding the joint force between chance with this force sub the actually months in some times. and before sometime before this complete, actually there are been visited from per side, barometer emitted in german or in the way of dividing these force. and then the conflict is actually happening. so meaning that this force is not actually actually what the check the status actually doing. i is trying to abilene alden troops in this part of the country along the border. so to secure this water. and this is why i municipal defense of all the animals that some 300 value sold. yes. thing though, still it is. i've already been backed in the east part of the country. so if you push that in becoming days might be more and more because this conflict, us also a big ethnic component and the communities around the sub border i plus national and so in the coming in the coming weeks,
12:14 am
it was decision that might be evolving in a bodily what have relations been like between the leadership and shots and the different sides in this conflict incident? i think that task, ah, chad, i've tried, ah, since the transition sudan to be faithful to it, selection ships to cash flow to dial to capital. and this is why in this conflict actually, what i've been trying to do is to favor kind of far neutral pasta and calling for our cessation of hostilities and negotiations. because in the past jargon, sedan and assembly under president does debbie. but that also additional sudan of where the approx you are using rebels again and other buffers. and i think that the current or who it is in charge will certainly have learned from this episode and would have preferred to avoid getting involved in the situation that the system
12:15 am
with our table and has a, as a and certain outcome. and that might also be dangerous for delivery. mean just that, that as the call is a transitional regime actually given how volatile is heave, sad things are on the border when it comes to the security situation there. what is your concern that chad in some way could be dragged in potentially against its will into a wider conflict in the region. i had something that is very possible because as i've been explaining those 2 countries shot a long so we of conflict shared conflict. but they're also show a long border that's actually be long of for some 1300 kilometers. so in many ways it's possible. this conflict may invoice fading chad evans without the shadow to which it is being willing to take part of the conflict . i've been talking about a lot of communities i've actually got was border, and we also know that most of the militia that actually get under the out of self
12:16 am
are also ethnic militia. so in a way, the way those communities might be positioning in this conflict in the coming weeks might be something that will oblige the countries to enter the conflict. in a we have a said to now which is try as much as possible to remain as neutral as possible or potentially incredibly precarious situation for both chad and other neighboring countries. romaji, when i see from the institute of security studies speaking to us and jamaica. many thanks for speaking to us. thanks. so now a 7.3, my magnitude earthquake has struck west of the indonesian island of sumatra triggering as to nami, warning in denice. this stuff is frequent earthquakes, his struggles so could pacific ring of fire and active earthquake zone with different plates of the earth cross meet. coming up on al jazeera, this news are russia accused of cynicism as it assumes the presidency of the un

12:22 am
a terrible massacre. according to the eye witnesses that we were able to contact were talking about 400 villagers, men, women, and children running in the field trying to escape the attacks. according to one eye witness, half of the men were all killed, shot down in what was what they describe are horrific and unprecedented attack in what is an ethnic mossi village. there is such a massacre that really shakes people in bertina faso. now the news of this massacre is filtering down to the capital of walker walker due to a. 3 group a coalition of civil society activists were highly critical of the young captain, captain abraham char ray in his inability to stop these attacks. now, these attacks have really increased in the last 7 months ever since he took power ever since the french, the former colonial power, who used to help them with troops on the ground, but also aerial aerial help. well,

12:24 am
. but western diplomat said the decision to call this meeting about the defense of the u. n's. founding charter was cynical. the u. s. ambassador said it was russia that had violated the charter by invading ukraine. she'd come to the meeting, accompanied by the sister of us citizen pull whelan, who's been imprisoned in russia for over 4 years. russia, the convenor of today's meeting, invaded his neighbors in ukraine and struck at the heart of the un charter and russia time and time again has violated universal human rights and fundamental freedoms both outside and inside its own borders. paul was a corporate security director. he had a job, he loved a home, a life of hope and opportunity. all that has been taken away from him by russia, a country that revels in its culture of lies. mister labrons also had an important meeting with the un secretary general antonio terrace. russia says the black sea

12:27 am
using unfair practices during the pandemic, including paying less than the cost of production. campaigners also want to remote obstacles to forming unions. oh, it has been 10 years now and the victims and their families hardly got any compensation yet. we want lifetime compensation of $48000.00 for each injured dead and missing workers family. and we also on trade unions immediately. the 2013 run the plaza tragedy. the only visible memorial for that, that is samantha, not at all i said by the 4th i ran. it has become an international symbol of inequality and workers exploitation across the globe. industry experts have called for governments where clothing brands are base to force them to stop unfair purchasing practices and guaranteed the rights of the people who make their products some of your children. i'll visit
12:28 am
our supper bangladesh. or let's bring in dominique miller, who's a policy lead at labor behind the label, a campaign group that works for improve conditions in the global garmen industry. she joins me now from york in northern england. welcome to the news hour. so as we heard there a decade on after the round plaza disaster in which $1100.00 work has died. but the common industry only seems to be marginally better. is that your assessment? and if i'm blunt, then yes, i think that has been a lot of progress. so putting that, she called trans, definitely investigated a loss of factories. it's remediated a lot of dangerous issues, but essentially workers are still incredibly underpaid. they work the property wages, the power and the responsibility is held by the brands who at the moment are still often managing to avoid that responsibility was legal and financial
12:29 am
has been some improvements. for example, on transparency, we see brands at the time of the ron atlanta collapsed, said that they weren't actually sourcing from the factories. but oh, you know, as workers sorted through the rubble of the factory to look the label, they did accept that responsibility. so now more more brands are publishing supply chains, but obviously there's still a long way to go. right and, and specifically about the economy and, and of course the primes that have such a big role to play. and this is a cost of living crisis hits in u. k, and other countries in western europe. there's less of course, incentive to abandon cheap, so called fast fashion what needs to be done in the western world, for instance, to help people over there in bangladesh. i think they enter the easy but obvious to is to pay higher wages. and for that to happen,
12:30 am
brands really need to pay high prices for the goods that a made in these countries with, with low wages and or, you know, health and safety. you know, it's not, it's most surprised that the majority of fashion brand owners of some of the richest people in the world is huge profit to be made. and i think, you know, the cost of living crisis, what we mean to see is brands taking a step back from paying shareholders from paying huge profit to those that the talk to really start thinking about the people making their clothes and start paying, you know, a living wage, for example, that would have an enormous impact on hundreds of thousands of people in government producing countries such as bank. royal. what about bangladesh itself? of course the country must be dependent on the industry to drive its economy. is there a worry that they could potentially lose out to other countries if costs increase there along with an improvement of conditions?
12:31 am
frances, there is a wiring. and i think one of those reasons is that brand continue to search around the globe, looking for the cheapest place. you know, it could be bangladesh, but, but then it with me, emma, which was even cheaper now. certain companies like your parents and places. so you brands that, you know, on the one hand, they make these lovely, you know, promises about code of conduct and on the other, they are basically looking for the cheapest labor they can find. and what we've seen in the recent cost of living crisis is, is many brands have cancelled orders, or our suppliers to, you know, provide big discounts, which has left workers under employed or under paid. and what really needs to be done is for governments to hold those flashing brows, accountable, whatever they are in the globe, rather than them essentially being left to sets up complex supply chains. the
12:32 am
distance themselves from financial and legal and moral responsibility for their workers. crime, dominique miller, farm labor behind the label. labor behind the label, as i said, reading speech, thanks for joining us here. i still to come down to 0. this news out. the bible caravan marching through mexico demanding justice for the people killed in the fire to detention center. i filipino fishermen say the chinese military is threatening their livelihoods. the syrian refugee paralyzed by a sniper bullet dreams of reaching the parish 2024 paralympics pool. we'll have a we've got an icy blast of arctic air through the islands of ireland and britain.

12:37 am
know about his decision real soon. it is already rumored that announcement is expected via video release as early as tuesday. but already there are questions about the president's fitness for office. given his advanced age, he is at 80 already the oldest person to run for reelection. he would be $82.00 at the time of election day in november of 2024. if you won re election, he would be $86.00 leaving the office. and we do know a new pull out in the united states shows that also supporters. the supported joe biden back in 202040 per cent say he should not run for reelection. still the u. s. president is forging ahead, according to his supporters, as well as the white house. this announcement is timed along with a fund raising appeal. this is because the elections are very expensive in the
12:38 am
united states when it comes to election campaigns. that would make this a very long election cycle. and we do know this opens up the president to some vulnerabilities including high inflation, a fragile economy, as well as some fragile approval numbers. still the white house says it is confident that as the incumbent, joe biden is likely they say to win a 2nd term. kimberly help it al jazeera, the white house, south korea is restored japan to a list of countries. it gives preference for trade. they downgrade to japan 3 years ago and had to promote a dispute. but us both countries looked deep and cooperation with the united states on security. they've been working to repair that relationship. robert bride has bought from the south korean capital sol. this is one of the most heavily policed parts of sol. it's the location of the japanese embassy and often the scene of anti
