7:08 am
still looking in trying to register themselves and their families in that particular camp. and yesterday we moved to a different camp, which is magic gilda ad there. we found between 404-502-5000 refugees in that particular camp. and we also understand not far from where we are right now. some people have sort of moved to their families, especially women and children, and located in a village just close by. here we go. there is no presence of 8 organizations in the place. so we expect hundreds more located in that community and they are spread within families and also spread under trees. and in the open spaces, basically the united nations and all the agencies who are trying to help this refugees projecting to help at least 20000 refugees in the past one week or so. but what we're seeing right now, the refugee numbers could go much,
7:09 am
much higher than that already. the amount of food being delivered is not sufficient enough to last in the family for 5 days. so what we're looking at probably, unless food a derive you will have significant issues. yeah. health issues, malnutrition issues already the united nations children's fun is talking about dia, situation for children or back in sudan. the international committee of the red cross is delivered its 1st shipment of humanitarian aid and includes about 8 tons of medical supplies to help physicians treat wounded civilians. moving forward, the monetary group says they will need guarantees of ensure it can safely transport supplies and hostile errors, including the capital call to leona thinker is a spokeswoman for the international committee, the red cross and says, the ongoing fighting is posing serious that justice challenges for agencies, it was incredibly difficult from the logistical and security perspective because
7:10 am
the civilian flights are canceled and they over to down have been closed. so it was incredibly difficult to find the way to bring the supplies into the country and port so done was the most appropriate place where we were able to bring the 1st shipment. but now even challenged is light lying ahead of us because now we also need to ensure that these supplies can reach hospital that, that 3 thing, the wounded people in the front plane. and this is going to harp. we're talking about surgical supplies, surgical materials for anastasia. this surgical material that should enable us to study lies some 1501 good people. so these, these are the, the material like of the 1st necessity for the surgeons to be able to treat the wounded people quickly.
7:11 am
ah, to paraguay where the conservative ruling party counted. it has won the presidential election with most of the votes counted. sounds your company as colorado party has been in power for most to the last 75 years. his st. left rival, a friend, the library lost by a huge margin, despite running a tight campaign or no family randal to day, we're not celebrating a personal triumph to day. we're celebrating the victory of a people who with their vote chose the path of social peace dialogue, fraternity and national reconciliation. people who sent a clear message that resentment hatred and quarrels on the way forward and all you out there is latin america editor alyssia newman was at penn years victory speech in the capital. a sancho? oh yeah. the people in paraguay. and he wants to become the lighting for the
7:12 am
country. and that is what we'll do better. i with medicine education, with the ivr name and no money than ronald morning with a lady who had a home and this time, but was unable to do so. what political analyst esteban political logo says the scale opinions victory will have surprised and disappointed his opponents. the campaign from the opposition side perhaps centered too much on an empty colorado discourse of blaming the followed other party or
7:13 am
a model of corruption that has been sort of in place for the last 70 years. and there with that generalization here sort of backfired and the colorado support kept together and divide, which is one of the keys to be able to win an election is to be able to divide the corolla party. i would say that the problem would be for such a conservative and pro di, one candidate in demilia of the regions tendency to more, more sort of a sort of progressive let's say, a vision of politics in the region and also squarely on the side of you know, dealing with china rather than we would tie one. so i think that what we can
7:14 am
probably see is a sense of isolation within south america within the idea of the integration of south america. the nicer lation of this president was going to be the odd one out that way. that could be any of illusion that we will see from a regional perspective. you as regulators are rushing to find a rescue, it's by the troubled 1st republic bank. several major financial institutions have reportedly been asked to make bits, 1st, republic chairs plunge last week after it revealed that customers had withdrawn $100000000000.00 and deposits in march. that was a month of silicon valley bank and signature bank collapsible to fears of a wide market fallout. allan fisher reports now from washington dc. will this rescue efforts been going on since the markets closed on friday? potentially this could be the 2nd biggest banking loss in us history. now you
7:15 am
remember back in march that the silicon valley bank esignature bank run into problems or foster public also had issues then with liquidity. and the big banks help them by sending money into their accounts. now here in the united states, if you open a bank account, anything up to 250000 dollars is covered by the regulator, the f d i see. but any deposit over that, if a bank went bust, you would lose it. and that's been the problem for 1st republic. a lot of these big investors have been asking for their money out up to that 250000 limit. no banks don't just keep money sitting around and they're both invest a lot of what they get in. and if they don't have the money to cover when people are demanding their money back, that's what starts what's known as a run on the bank. and that's what happened here to foster public know, the f d i. c and government regulators have been spending the weekend looking for someone to buy the bank in its entirety. but if they can't get that, then what they're going to do is try an auction off the most lucrative parts. and
7:16 am
it means that the government will be left with the loss making parts of the bank. now there was a if thought to be looking at this, or j. p. morgan chase at the bank of america and also p n. c, which is a bank which is based in pittsburgh, which seems to be keen because it wanted to buy for sure public not that long ago sled here in algiers. her, i corner below in manila were tens of thousands of her sercer calling from higher wages. and we looked at how john love of seaweed is cause you stink. ah hello, there is more heat flooding into the north of africa in the new week. but before we get there, let's have a look at the middle east and levant,

7:18 am
but some isolated showers and thunderstorms in eastern south africa. but those tend to dry up as we go in to chew, stay ah, reviewing the headlines, dissecting what they say, which has decided to go live. was there really a full scale innovation, exposing how the media is used to shape up in the one factor that never seems to make a difference is it's untrue. it never happened. and how political powers can suppress free speech. if you drive to records, i need to be in the public, the police will be there in a much of 2nd. we are under close them, providing them the listening post your guide to the media on al jazeera, with

7:20 am
shortage. long queues at petrol stations have seen some drivers wait for days to fill the tanks. the government usually provides buses to transport hundreds of thousands of people across the island to attend the parade. the combination of us sanctions and reduced fuel supplies from cuba allied venezuela is causing the shortages. jay's granger is the editor in chief of the one is at his times, the political landless, specializing in latin america. and he says, economic pressures need to be really high for the cuban government to cancel such an event. i think the cancellation of this had been really speaks to the severity of the crisis. the key was going through the 1st time 259. if you read the 2 years, been part of it, but i think it speaks really to the multiple problems that key faces at the moment . and you know the president miguel? yes. can i said the other day that they normally show how they going to get out? but you had one of the heads of the union cheese the other day saying that now
7:21 am
