8:09 am
community and they are spread within families and also spread under trees. and in the open spaces, basically the united nations and other agencies who are trying to help this refugees project in 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, much higher than that already. the amount of food being delivered is not sufficient enough to last your family for 5 days. so what we're looking at probably, unless food a derived you will have significant issues. yeah. health issues, malnutrition issues, already the united nations children find is talking about dia, situation for children, the while many foreign nationals are being evacuated. the stuff by sea is among the latest group of iraqis to return to baghdad up and

8:12 am
the difficulties of transportation or because transportation has almost a locked door with her father or thrown up a yard, entered her commonality here. they sent us to cargo planes and we arrived in bagdad shine. we feel sorry for the sudanese people who do not deserve what's happening to them. them is that the sudanese people are sophisticated, educated and very conscious people happy who must not be in such a situation. in charlotte through the anesha bell are being shot with that gun. shy, why shabby sudan he had, he got then, shall we ask allah almighty to extinguish the fire of sedition that afflicted sudan, and may allah help them to return to vin normal life or to go on. what am i cannot ali, welcome to love ah, to paraguay now where the conservative ruling party candidate has won the presidential election with most of the votes? counted santiago, pena's, colorado party has been in power for most of the last 75 years is sent to left

8:14 am
the name and no money milling. then ronald morning with a negative or had a homes on a list, but was unable to do so. a cuba government is canceled, the nation's biggest daniel event, mondays made a parade because of an acute shortage of fuel. long queues of petrol stations have seen some drivers wait phase to fill their tanks. government usually provides buses to transport hundreds of thousands of people from across the island to attend to parade a combination of us sanctions and reduce fuel supplies from cuba. i like venezuela is causing the shortages. james granger is the editor in chief of the one as areas times and a political unless 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
8:15 am
the cancellation of this have been really speaks to the severity of the crisis. the keepers going through the 1st time since 1959. if you read the 2 years from panda bank, but i think it speaks really to the multiple problems that q the faces at the moment . and you know, the president miguel the can i said the other day that they normally show how they going to go out. but you had one of the heads of the union cheese the other day saying that now we're a time maximum austerity as i said before, the president is blaming suppliers but not supplying all of the needs, but they have that. but i think really, i think, as we spoke before, it's about the symbolism of them, you know, across latin america is really international work is days, often capitalist in tone. you know, actually a liberal. and i think it's about events becomes a lot in cuba, countries. it really just, you know, like i said,
8:16 am
on the line and how extreme the cross ripples from the ground say that morale is really low. the. i don't know the exact numbers, but i know impression for us at the moment is really high from i think the cancellation of events like this, i mean just seamless cues for the mile long lines. the pinterest, they should they speak so much because you can see the cars lined up. you know, that this alone, you can look at the conditions that i think ultimately it's really, you know, and if you have the president saying, we're not quite sure how we're going to gals. it's then, you know, that doesn't mean speak very well, considering has just been re elected for 5 years. obviously, impulse peculiar as difficult as it is just in terms of you get a caching in economy, but obviously the u. s. trading budget has a massive impact. i think what's quite interesting regionally, if you like, if there's a lot of be just spoken out about it. and perhaps that is to do with, you know, the shifting a lot of the elections apply to shifted left was obviously not in power guar tonight. but i think, you know, our options of human action. tina alberta fernandez called it and she recently,
8:17 am
we've had lulu in brazil speak out and i think you know, it is something there's this pressure building on the us again, on the fish. riley's tamala, international work is day being held in south korea. thousands people have got that . and so calling for better working conditions. let's cross mcbride, who's one of the rallies. and so john slide from rob se rallies happening around the world. and do you tell us more about what's happening there? ah, yeah, absolutely. i mean, there is such a strong tre, junior tradition in south to read the labor day. you can always be guaranteed that a big, especially for this to read many work and say like work is all over the world been really squeezed by rising cost of living of the fact that wages believe or not got to buy that with a conservative administration. and the many workers here believe sites when the big business. so if this is one of the big protests that is taking place,
8:18 am
install if resume and it will give you an idea of the scale, the best thing. there are literally thousands of people that turning out to this, this has been organized by the korean confederation of trade unions of what is really riling up well consumer, especially in south korea to basically prophesy about like the working week at the moment. the working week is limited to 52 and what units y'all in the current president when he was campaigning, he had controversially suggested, why not make it a 120 hours? it was won't work that long. well, that didn't go down very well as since coming to power his come about to try to talk about a 60 night out week. but that is paul. such a pushback amongst trade unionists especially that they're not talking about that compromise 60 hours. so the debate goes on. 1 there is plenty for workers to come out and protest about. they have been listening to speeches, chanting slogan,
8:19 am
singing songs, this umbrella organization. they will be in a couple of hours, dividing off the marching to various i'm so this organization has actually called, as they tend to do this call may been bended yates calling to the workers to show that displeasure by coming out not all out strike a general strike in july, from a broad reporting from the think about raleigh in so rob, thanks. look. i still had here and out z a u. s. regulates, is rushing to find a rescue to buy the troubled 1st republic bank. and with all eyes on the south china sea, the philippines in the u. s. strength, and that different school, british ah, hello,

to left to rival a free and electric lost by a huge margin. despite running late philippine president ferdinand marcus, judah is on way to washington d. c. defense cooperation is top of the agenda for talks with the u. s. president joe biden. the philippines is granted the u. s. military. the use of 9 of its basis . officials say it's necessary to beef up the country's defences. i made growing tensions with china. ought to be le reports from the old us naval base of sewage, just like old times american troops in so big bay showcasing their hardware and capabilities. as part of the largest ever joint drills between the philippines and the united states. for nearly 100 years, this was a us naval base until 991, with the philippines senate voted to shut it down. now, local officials say they welcome you as soldiers with open arms. it benefits us,
8:24 am
it benefits the local community in terms of commerce and employment. when ever these 4 military vessels called for children to be so big isn't one of the 4 new sites. the philippine government under president ferdinand barclays junior has granted the u. s. military access to but it is a case study for areas that were chosen u. s. vessels like the one behind me are a constant presence here is so big as many as a 100 of them dock every year for a number of reasons, including to refuel and get repairs done. in fact, it was during one of those routine visits in 2014, when jennifer lauder a filipino transgender woman was murdered by an american serviceman. joseph's got pemberton, a u. s. marine was convicted of killing loudy, but was pardoned by former president would be good at 30 in 2020 and set back to

8:26 am
weapons for conflict over taiwan. barnett below al jazeera, so big bay, the philippines, us regulators are rushing to find a rescue. it's by the troubled 1st republic bank, several major financial institution supposedly been asked to make bids. first republic shares plunged last week after it reveal that customers have withdrawn $100000000000.00 and deposits in march. that was the month silicon valley bank and signature bank collapse, causing fears of a wide market full of unofficial reports now from washington dc. well, 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 remember back in march that the silicon valley banking signature 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 are here in the united states. if
8:27 am
you open a bank account, anything up to $250000.00 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 in their vaults. they 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 foss republic, no. 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 it means that the government will be left with the loss making parts of the bank. now those a, if thought to be looking at this, or g p, morgan chase at the bank of america and also p n c, which is
8:28 am
a bank which is based in pittsburgh, which seems to be keen because it wanted to buy fresh republic, not that long ago, a giant massive seaweed in the atlantic is discouraging tourists and threatening communities on the french caribbean islands. martinique mounds of the free floating sa gossum wash up on its beaches as it rots. releases toxic gases, fishermen and entrepreneurs taking matters into their own hands to try and come up with a solution on device as this. on a normal day, jose via tours restaurant looks out onto one of martinique christine white beaches . on a normal day, his business is thriving and the air doesn't smell like rotten eggs. it's, i guess the gas it is the hardest challenge for us. every year we are forced to close our business because of the gas. there's just no way we can serve customers in the condition. so it started in 2011 millions of tons of the free floating
8:29 am
brown seaweed called sarcasm, stretching for thousands of kilometers in the atlantic ocean enters the caribbean. it chokes coves and blankets, beaches. and as it rots it releases, toxic gases like ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, people complain of sore throats, nausea and headaches. and it's happening close to the peak of the tourism season and is having a devastating effect on the economy. was only me before it was very busy, but now with the seaweed there is no one left tourist say they can't stay here. maybe because of their health or the smell. i don't know, but we can't get by without them. fishermen are doing what they can using booms and nets and adapting their boats to trap hundreds of cubic meters of the algae every hour. i guess why, if it doesn't reach shore and is collected in ines,
8:30 am
it won't ross and release hydrogen sulfide. so we think it's one of the best solutions. that's why we're building other boats with new technologies to go even faster. because we realize that when there are large quantities of the seaweed, we have to move quickly to collectors. sarcasm blooms every spring in the atlantic, but in the past decade its been flourishing breaking records nearly every year. scientists think ocean warming and industrial run off could be to blame that if with his over the forecasts know very good scientifically. i don't know what to do or humanly speaking we are finding solutions and i think we will also reach a point where we will be able to use it as rule material for something. nasa has already warned that 2023 is shaping up to be the largest bloom on record. the people of martinique will be on the front lines and hope the solutions they're developing will go some way to helping the rest of the caribbean. i'll.
