becoming untenable, especially those in the northern part of the capital where there has been intense fighting over the last few days. people say that they want to leave, but they no longer have the means to do so because banks have been close since the thought of the fighting. and they do not have cash on hand. getting a transport out of the capital has in places gone to up to 10 times what it was in terms of prices. so people say that they remain trapped in their homes. then comes the issue of being able to purchase basic commodities. many shop have been closed because of the fighting. those that have been broken into have been looted and where people can actually buy things, the prices have become very hard for many people to afford. some of them say that they want more security to be able to basically buy a basic necessities and to protect their property money. but so there's no police presence in the marketplace to protect our property. if they're not engaged in the fight, they should protect citizens from noon to the next morning. the place is empty and

our property is prone to theft and looting. i asked your thirties to deploy police patrols. i also hope the fight taken away from residential area. and they will not be really suffering granules are closed and we cannot grind. our stock of wheat must be commodities and if they are available, the prices are very high. why fi, robin living conditions are very dire for everyone. prices have sort, immediate transportation, almost gone. people are really suffering one robin on hey, but there's also been prison escapes over the last few days. what do you know on, on that and specifically who might have escaped while at least 20000 prisoners have been released or have escaped from prison since the start of the fighting? and that's because the forming presence here in the capital have been broken into. now the rapid support forces accuses the army in some of the prisons and the army
1:05 pm
accuses the r. s. f in other possess represents. but what we do know is that in colbert national prison, where a members of the former regime of the former ruling party, led by former president armitage. but she were able to escape on sunday. they include the former governor of south core, define who was also wanted by the international criminal court for work crimes and crimes against humanity in the western region of dar for they also include other senior officials of the former ruling party. but we also know that the former president who was held in that prison still remains held in print, but under the supervision of the military at the military hospital where he was receiving treatment even prior to the thought of the fighting people are getting concerned. because now they are over 20000 prisoners who have broken free, roaming around the capital, hot him, some of them making their way to the states. people saying that this is adding to the insecurity that they already facing because of the ongoing fighting between the rapid support for says and the sudanese army, an estimated 25000 prisoners who broken free, had been morgan reporting from court to him. thank you very much. now,
1:06 pm
despite international cause to abide by the cease fire, the mistrust between the warring factions remains deep. i shanna how bar has more gunshots and explosions shutter relative, quite in hutton. the us and major regional countries have appeal to warring factions to respect the terms of the cease fire. but ants. in his mounting, gentle hammett, he and his palo military, rapid support forces hold ground in many parts of the capitol. his brother and senior artists have commander general abdur rahim. doug olu walked the streets of harpoon with his armed man in a show of defiance to the head of the army. oh my message to per horn is to come out of your bunker and fight along your own soldier. they don't send them to die or you hide in your bunker. amity and his brother, lead a militia, has expanded from 40000 soldiers 210-0000 over the loss for years.
1:07 pm
heavily armed and equipped the controls strategic areas in the capitol. alice f commanders in says they will only stop fighting when they defeat their rivals. army generals up to for to harbor han sedan, strong man, and his top aides. shim sidenote, combat she and yet a lava. but us violence claims more lies and destroys neighborhoods. many incident ona calling for hammett and behind to go then should be given an exit. do i, did you, do you need to either leave the company or at least be that be given some sort o r ah pinch, and they need to step down. ah, there it is. there pearson, an ambition offering me the ample hon that have brought the country to this brink. the army has blamed neighboring countries for sending weapons to ham metty on a safe fight as we're actively engage in the wars in yemen and libya. their leader,
1:08 pm
amity, spent years building ties with regional, heavy ways tribesman, clerics to consolidate his grip on power. but as him, it is influence was growing. the army was bracing itself for the worst into a $1020.00 sedans. key factions agreed in talks in south sudan on a peaceful transition and the restructuring of security forces. that would see malicious integrating the army. but divisions remained. 2 years later, sedans, protagonists signed a new power sharing deal, but failed to agree on the future of the ice f, as mistrust between the 2 generals deepened. violence erupted now and will hon and his generals say time for reconciliation is over. that the army is determined to defeat amity and dismantled his force ash about bottle al, jazeera al 0 hashem. i hope i shall barra has covered extensively,
1:09 pm
the instability. incidentally, he joins us now. hush him among the things that you've been working on. the last. what 2448 hours is, these jail breaks and who's been released from jail? what it might been for the country's future, what it would change the the political landscape. one name, how may harun was he? one of the reasons why people are pretty much concerned when they saw that audio tape from a 100 heart own about him living the prison is basically this is an k ought to arc architect of the old political establishment that prevailed incident for more than 4 decades and president omar bashir, and people in sister, the prod, democracy, movement into 1090 the all those people should be prosecuted center jail for the atrocities committed against the sudan, his people, and for the embezzlement of public funds. one of them is i am at the huddle and i am at holland has been on top of the list of the former i. c. c. prosecutor, l. west moreno, a campbell. he has been accused of committing atrocities against civilians in
1:10 pm
darfur back in the early years of to thousands. now, white people are concerned hemisphere on one hand is saying that a boy hand and his top left hand is allowing the former members of the old regime back into political life. because they would like to build alliances with them to tilt the ground into their own favor. the army or the other hand blames him. it is for colluding with the old goss. we're talking about military officers, intelligence officers, tribes, ban clerics, all affiliated with the old political establishment. and they're saying that these are people who could state a political comeback. we have to remind our viewers that back in 2019, where the pod democracy adapted in sudan one of the key components or key to bands of that bridge moccasin movement is that all model beschler, all his aids, should be centered. james should be banned from returning to political life and should be prosecuted for all the atrocities committed against people also there. so
1:11 pm
in a way or another, there is a fear that the old gauze could be staging a, come back. so you see the fighting between the army and the rapid support forces could now reopen this space that had been closed ever since omar bashir was out of it. i have to say they tried to dispense themselves from a lot of basheba. the are a product of omar bashir hematoma was a product of all my best usa think for alba, albert had both, they were promoted. they will give us senior positions by omar bashir all battle. but she also was a product of a military course. sudan has had some how 17 attempted caused a record number in the african con, it's been run by the military, almost all of its exactly the lead indiana, the landlord back in 1958 all the way through num, 80 so out of the half. and all martin bashir, the only difference in 1989 was this allies between a robot of basil and political islam has anatole abbey. now, you could ask the white people are concert. saudi arabia and the united arab emirates, post night 2011,
1:12 pm
where the out of speak vis. so an impressive rise of political islam. one of the key bastisse of political islam is sedan. and this explains white white. after 2019, we saw many regional key players providing significant assistance to the to elbow hand and committee, hoping that these 2 key figures could ensure that political islam were never stage a come back to the country. and this explains why the narrative yesterday since yesterday incident, who is to blame and are they trying to state apolitical comeback? whose interest would this be in? because you've got the 2 fighting sites, right. you've got the army under mr. ron, you've got the are safe under hammered d, who would have a strategic interest in perhaps seeing the renaissance of political islam and the old guard both in a way or another the would they would benefit from this big for the simple reason hasn't to robbie was loss of the life as, as, as, as the architect of the political islam incident. and he managed to build alliances
1:13 pm
across ethnic lions, regional lines, religious lines, and components of that status quo of that establishment. us till incident. now imagine look at the situation now. i'll put a hand is quite obvious. it doesn't have really huge control over the military establishment and situation on the ground. guess what? to model with the backing from many people affiliated with the old, old god, they would pave the way for him to stage a come back, consolidate his grip on power. habit, it understands very well this and he knows as well. that is absolutely no way for him. it is someone who comes from dar for his just beholden to one single family and on what suddenly you want to become president, so that you won't be able to directly to expand his power. beth, if you want to do what you have to go back to the old guard, the has been there for, for decades in sudan. you want to have the backing, and you have to show loyalty for them to be able to state a political come back. so this explains why the story over the last few hours
1:14 pm
incident has been about whereas our battle bus year and what are his acolytes? are they still in jail and those who left who was to be beholden response at taken responsible for this. and i think the narrative over the last year i was quite fascinating is about this ongoing political divide, but also about those who collude or pull the strings from behind closed doors. hunter 0 hush marshal bar. thank you so much. ah, the death toll from a religious cold in kenya has risen to at least 80 line. it is expected to rise as rights groups have registered more than $200.00 people as missing. authorities say the victims starved themselves to death after their pastor paul mackenzie told them to stop eating if they wanted to meet jesus. the lease have been zooming bodies from shallow graves and a forest on land that mackenzie owns. they say the site has been classified as the
1:15 pm
scene of a massage or massacre. o captain soy is live from the town of melinda. catherine, i know you have been at the scene where bodies our exude death toll has kept going up over the last few days. is it expected to keep rising? absolutely, the death phone has been going up every day and with this begin to expect to see more forties. now the police are now in another area. while we were seeing mass graves that has been assumed. but they have gone to another area in the same ah, area, and they expect to see more of bodies. so that is an operation that is going on. people are very shocked about what is going on, and we have been talking to the red rock red cross, red cross, which has
1:16 pm
a who have a set up ah, tracing center. and they say that up to $200.00 people have be declared missing. we have spoken to some of their relatives who are saying that they are just are hoping that their loved ones are, will be found safe and alive. what do we finding out with the investigation on this? ah, we have been speaking to government officials who have been visiting the scene including and there's a secretary of interior who has said that basically what the police are trying to do is to make sure that this man is charged with terrorism. and it's going to be very interesting to see if this or charges will stick. he missed or mackenzie. as this pastor is very, very well known here in melinda,
1:17 pm
about especially when it comes to his controversial teaching. he has been taking, he has been telling people not to take her children to school or not to vaccinate children as well. so that is something that a little people are asking about, you know, questions that are people are asking of why did this incident take? so long to be discovered, we know our vector post mortem as going on a pathologies. pathologies are trying to know how this people died. and so it's an ongoing process. it's going to be a very long, a painful process as well. catherine, catherine, so reporting from melinda in kenya. thank you very much. another u. s. bank appears to be in trouble. shares of the san francisco based lender,
1:18 pm
a 1st republic of plunge to a record low. its share price dropped nearly 15 percent on news. the depositors withdrew at least $100000000000.00 in the 1st quarter of the year. last month collapse of silicon valley bank and signature bank called the biggest crisis of confidence in the banking sector. since 2008 of francis koppel is an economist. you joyce's from rochester, u. k, a talk us through what's happening. we thought this was over. i mean, yes, there was a wave of panic over maybe a 2 week span, but then money was pumped into 1st republic and 4 people weren't watching that closely. and i count myself among those. i thought this was over. well, i think what happened yesterday was we discovered just how big the bank from 1st republic bank up to the 5 years to the commodity bank had being much bigger than we realized it was a 100000000000 dollars and the amount that the banks, the big banks put into it was only $30000000000.00, so it still has
1:19 pm
a $70000000000.00 deposit whole really no way of sending it. and that's really what's caused. so what happens now? well, it's talking about trying to recover itself. it's talking about selling assets. it said yesterday that i want you to sell between 50 and a $100000000000.00 worth of it's acid. that is a very thing in the years investors. yeah, i done the things like mortgage loans is not too sure how we would do that. so i think what's more likely to happen is, is either it will find a buy up perhaps one of the big one or more of the big banks that help to bail it out last months or as a last resort. the u. s. u. s. is a deposit insurance corporation. we'll step into all of it as it did silicon valley bank. the biggest banks, as we've said already came together and put $30000000000.00 into this to prop up this bank. and beyond this bank,
1:20 pm
really the banking system and confidence within the financial sector. would it be in their financial interest perhaps to come up with the other 70000000000? well, it might, i mean i'm, i shouldn't imagine that the wall street banks are going to want to see a major disaster developing in the mid tier banks in the u. s. because that's going to inevitably ripple out to affect them. so it might well be that they will see it is in the interest of their show shareholders to stage rescue how vulnerable as the rest of the banking sector. and well, hopefully, if this bank can be either rescued or resolved quickly, there won't be further contagion to other banks. we did see a little bit of a wall of with one or 2 banks. i'm yesterday, but that didn't seem to resolve itself quite quickly. so hopefully all the banks won't be affected, we won't see dominant like collapses as we had in 2008. this all starts with the
1:21 pm
faith that consumers have or don't have in their bank. so where do you think that stands right now, especially with this news? well, i think that there are a couple of things that the u. s. she's going to have to look at in the fallout from this. one is a good going to be the way regulates. it's mid tier banks because it's very evident that however they were regulated. it wasn't enough to keep the deposit is happy in stockton running when, when there was a problem. ready so you guys need to look again at the regulation, the captain liquidity regulations around in medium sized banks in america. yeah, that's what i was gonna ask you after 2008 measures were taken, rules were put into place to protect the banking sector. so that it couldn't suddenly collapse overnight or come very close to collapsing overnight. are those rules working? what is this current moment telling us? well, i'm one of the things that happened in 2019 was that for the medium sized banks,
1:22 pm
smaller banks in america, of which are 1st republic bank is one, a loss of those regulations were to down. they were exempted from most of the campuses, the liquidity regulations that would have ensured they had sufficient liquid assets to enable people to withdraw their deposits. and they're also able to exempt themselves from some of the capital regulations that try to make sure that in the event of the bank fading, deposit is don't lose money. so in way it's set up a scenario which to post is don't benefit from deposits. insurance and not of the deposit is here, aren't very, are large depositors that who's deposits are over the insurance unit and didn't have these essential protections. and so ran from the bank when they saw there was a problem. so i think we're going to have to look again at tightening the captain liquidity regulations for those mid to banks and perhaps rolling back the bill then
1:23 pm
relax. ation of those rules happened in 2019 francis copper. thank you so much for joining us today. pleasure. multinational tobacco company has agreed to pay $635000000.00 to the us state department to settle allegations of illegal trade with north korea. british american tobacco released a statement saying the settlement concern sales during a decade from 2007 onwards. such sales are in violation of economic sanctions against north korea. philippine president ferdinand marco's junior has been overseeing his country, is the largest joint military drills ever with the united states. more than $17000.00 troops are taking part in the land, air and sea exercises, including areas near waters contested by china. the philippines, m a u. s. have a decades long defense treaty or below, has more from zambales, province,

1:25 pm
which is in the south trying to see where the philippines and china have a territorial dispute. but officials say that all this underscores is the strengthening alliance between the philippines and the united states. there have been successive engagements between the 2 countries, labels, which is the upcoming visit of president and marcus junior, through the united states. he will be meeting on may 1st with us president joe bided at the white house below al jazeera, some ballast, the philippines armed gangs in haiti have been steadily expanding their influence since the assassination of president of an elmo ease. nearly 2 years ago. the un says violence in the capital poll pass is similar to a war zone. in october, haiti's embattled government requested foreign military assistance, but so far, there's been no intervention. theresa ball reports. they're getting more powerful every day. armed gang members in can n on the outskirts of port

1:34 pm
supporting the family to all of that navigating the really perfect day. tell us more about the case because as an activist, obviously it's something that i'm sorry that you've been working on for a long time. you say the tongue garage is soupy. i did not receive a fair trial. why on thunder? as you was denied and interpreted, your inc lease investigations. he asked for a time a language interpreter was in given one. he also did not have any access to legal counsel during his police west additions. and you know, he has very low levels of education from a very large and laced background. and she had been socialized conditioned by police authorities and prison authorities as anti life. so the power dynamic was really traumatic of the difference between his name and he didn't have any lawyer, different things, rights. there was also a lot of evidence that was material that the prosecution did not disclose to the defense during his trial and appeal. so liter thumb garage brought applications
1:35 pm
representing himself without a lawyer asking for such evidence to be disclosed to him material sequence taken from key witnesses at the contemporaneous time. and then if this was a discourse to him and the court dismissed his application to a garage who was never in possession of the drugs, he never saw a touch. the drugs that he was accused of trafficking on the whole cheese came down to a phone number that they sent them on to him. and it was not even a phone number that was registered to his name. said there are many gaping holes in his cheeks. why, why does, did singapore, the judicial system sentence him to death with all these, if there are all these holes in his case? so the laws in our misuse of drugs act allowed carried the same sentence of mandatory death penalty to somebody who was accused of or convicted of conspiring to a bet and it
1:36 pm
a attempted trafficking. so it doesn't need to be that the trafficking happened. it just needs to be attempted and if your role was, if they can show and then the threshold for showing controversy is really low. you just have to show that, you know, you knew what was going to happen in vague terms. and that it was a legal that an act that was legal was going to happen. and so they said that there was a phone call need that the person who was caught with the drugs said, came from number oh, that belong to that graduate. which someone else attested to that this number belongs thing to the man who was caught with the drugs. didn't know them. graduate, never met him. i didn't know how he looked, but someone else met the same number saved said it belong to then graduate. and that's all it came down to a few phone calls and text messages from that number that the prosecutions that belong to him could killer animal i, a member of the transformative justice collector, thank you for joining us today. the british home secretary is under fire for
1:37 pm
suggesting that migrants who arrived in the u. k. on small boats or criminals in an interview swell. a braverman said that asylum seekers crossing the english channel on boats have a different value system. people coming here illegally do. ah, possess values which are odds with our country? are we are seeing heightened levels of criminality. i'm when i related to the, to, to the people who come on boats related to drug dealing ah, exploitation prostitution. there are real challenges which go beyond the migration issue of people coming here illegally and we need to ensure that we bring an end to the bi crossings. well, joe hall is in london covering this jonah, pretty striking comments from the british home secretary, what's been the fall out what? well, yes. these comments made by what a problem in the home secretary during the course of
1:38 pm
a morning round of interviews in the context of course of efforts by the government to pass legislation through the house of commons here to try and end the crossing of people into this country across the english channel seeking asylum here. and it has to be said, these are not comments that are out of keeping with other things. that's where the problem and has said recently that of course, members of our own party to call out her quote racist rhetoric. and even going so far as to suggest that she is doing this as a way of courting the right wing support ahead of any possible future leadership contest to i'm yes, as you heard there, these comments falling broadly within that sort of bracket. this idea of a clash of values, their values crashing with our values. this idea of a nexus between migration and crime and criminality. very much pock now of the tone and tenor of the debate around migration in this country on the political rights of
1:39 pm
