prison caught up. none had been among the strike the 87 days. a fellow, i'm darned. jordan, this is out as they are alive, are also coming up sedans, warring generals, agree to talk, and saudi arabia as gun battles continue in the capital cartoon. meanwhile the you and warns of a full blown catastrophe and the 800000 people could flee the violence from neighboring countries. on lady march's around latin america, we look at whether the new wave of left wing leaders is making any progress on labor rights. ah. we begin with some breaking news, a prominent palestinian activists harder, and none has died in an is ready prison. after $87.00 days on hunger strike. he was

a member of the islamic jihad was arrested by israeli forces near home in july and early february. i'm got been on hunger strike against his detention without charges when it's breaking off a bog duty, he's the leader of the palestinian national initiative. he joins us live via skype from ramallah. mustafah give us your reaction 1st and use of the death of hard ad. none of what this actually means. this is a very dangerous the thing that has happened is that government and particularly inconvenient dispatchers who is administered in those ready government . i personally responsible for this the act of assassination. i call it an act of assassination because there is a government knew better well. and its military court that a person who is on hunger strike with 87 days does not receive any kind of medical care, could die at any moment. and that's exactly what has happened mister how that was

listed without charges. it's not the 1st time he has been arrested under what they call administrative detention, which means that isn't it. can anybody without even saying why without any touch of charges, without any bruce without a triumph? and that is the case, not on the part that i'd none, but at least $1006.00 other prisoners who are now under administrative detention utmost off international viewers. what more do then we know about how to add non non his role within islamic jihad, how good man is a political activist. he was not engaged or involved in any kind of reaction what instance he was just politically resisting occupation with this speeches with his folks with solidarity action. he is a political activist and he was trying to express the suffering of the palestinian

people and demanding our freedom occupation and the system of apartheid that we are subjected to have nothing that they could prove against them to put him on trail. and that's why they kept us didn't him for what they could administer detention, which is something that happens on the, in israel, where israel is using emergency laws to put people in jail without charges. and he had to go into hunger strike 5 times before this time. each time at one time he was on hunger strike for 52 days before the release. and this time he had to go into 2 hundreds, right? because there is no do you would just carry process that would allow him to be free . ok. in a situation where he was not charged with anything, let's talk when he'd been arrested on quite a few occasions. i mean, but israel had said he refused all medical aid and food for some time. let me ask

you though, do these hunger strikes actually work in raising awareness of the apply to palestinians handled in israeli jails? absolutely. we had many cases of the, the only think that people in prison can do to demand their freedom if they are not charged. if there is not trial, if there is no, if you process not your legal forces, the only weapon they have is to go on hunger strike. and that's what many prisoners have done before. but let me tell you that the conditions in which palestinian prisoners adequate is horrible. we have lost upton this moment. 337, but estonian, but it's not as little died in israel. israel issued nor less than $13000.00 order of administrative detention without judges against palestinians. and that they said that at $1000.00 of them today at this moment,

including 6 children under administrative detention. this is a country that is practicing fashion. if this country, israel is a country that is practicing unacceptable. volitional fuel marquez must have been missing 100, then we have to leave it there because we push the time. thank you very much indeed sir, for your time. thank you. thank you. let's bring in nita abraham. she's on the line from ramallah in the occupied westbank. nita, so what more can you tell us about how to add none of the events circumstances leading up to his death? the 44 year old has gone under over 5 drive in israel jones. this is the longest one, and his family has been warning for some time now. after more than 2 tells endanger his life was found. i'm conscious today before she was taken to the hospital, according to austin prime minister, she says,

this is an act of assassination. according to me because they believe that she is an active member to have to see this to most of the participated in protest in prison. and let's not forget that in 2012, she was the individual hungry and dr. kaden, his detention without charges, which was due to the way for so many other prisoners to start hunger striking to put the detention charges on the front with him. in fact, he wasn't given a list of charges, but he's expecting admin. it says detention which is the rest without charges to leave her. she was presented to the charges that she would not compatible with him

. so he could on his hunger strike as far as concerned. they say that this is as part of medical number. that is part of that this one is because it's ok to die. i need that. we were just talking to myself about duty from the palestinian national initiative. he says, the death of hard is very, very bad news is the death likely to lead to an escalation in the violence across the west bank? do you think or so for them to come online? i haven't tried it. the good. it's hard to tell me who are going to be chloe. now let's not forget the important point to had. it depends on how to react. so we've moved from dr. regarding, grew up,

it's been launched. but this is the situation that we're continuing on for the past . in general, even those who called in for testing for the past 2 weeks did not see the patient not too wide to support the god. men of the time call should frustration place, due to hopelessness. so it's a weird to me at the moment how that is going to play in the past. all right, that neighbor abraham live for the from ramallah the occupied west. i need to thank you. well, they've been reports of rocket at some gaza towards israel. let's bring in human sites on the line from garza city. so what sort of response have we seen or heard in gaza to the depth of how the non yes. so we've seen all policy factions on,

according to the israeli army tree. rockets fired from the gaza strip towards the south israeli towns. they said that they fell in open areas so, so far it has been left to statements and to the launching of these 3 rockets. no further. no further. any peak has been done on regarding the duration or the reaction on the death did not alright. are you in the outside the in garza city? not thank you. ah, another un sedan envoy says the countries warring generals of agree to send representatives to talks possibly in saudi arabia. bulk of parties was speaking to the associated press, but he also warned that there are challenges to overcome before any negotiations can begin. the fighting between saddam's army and the power military rapids support

philippines. military modernization is only natural, the philippines to look through it. so, sol, treaty, partner in the world are truly strengthen to redefine the relationship that we have and the roles that we play in the face of those rising tensions that we see. you know, around the south china sea, asia pacific and into pacific region, international monetary fund i m f has just released to report that full cost, the state of economies across the asia pacific region growth is project to increase this year to 4.6 percent. that's up from 3.8 percent and 2022 or 0. jessica washington has more from beijing. it's really a positive indicator for the region as a whole of the regional economic outlook has raised asia's economic forecast for

the year of 2023. under this broader theme of resilience, despite the global economic challenges, the report notes, of course that 2023 is a challenging year in terms of the outlook for the global economy. but despite the challenges, despite that rather gloomy outlook, the asia pacific remains in i and i quote, a dynamic region that is, is said to sort of power growth for the global economy through 2023. asia pacific is a set to see a growth rate of 4.6 percent for the year of 2023. and another interesting statistic in this report is that the reading is set to contribute around 70 percent of global growth for the year of 2023. and most of that is powered by the economies of china and india as well. if we take a look at some of the reasons behind this positive outlook, despite the rather gloomy global economic outlook. one main factor of course, that can't be overlooked, is the reopening of china. this week i was seeing this, this holiday week, millions of people around the country travelling and the, the i,

m f has flagged that as we see this increase mobility increased consumer spending. well, that can only be a positive indication for china's economy, but also for the, the broader region as well. the failed us bank 1st republic is being acquired, butts rival, j, p. morgan chase and a $10600000000.00 deal. regulators had taken control of 1st republic after a crash and at sher price. it's the 3rd u. s. bank failure since march. um does christian salumi reports from new york? their affairs? it won't be the last. it was early monday morning when regulators announced the end of 1st republic bank and what they hoped was the end to a crisis of confidence in the u. s. financial system banking giant, j. p. morgan stepped into purchased the california based banks, nearly $104000000000.00 and deposits, and $229000000000.00 and assets before the stock market opened. g p. morgan ceo, jamie diamond, spoke with analysts about the deal. no christabel is perfect for the crisis is over

. first republic had been teetering on the brink of collapse in the wake of 2 others, silicon valley and signature bank, amounting to some of the largest bank failures in us history. rising interest rates caused loans and investments to lose value. all 3 of these banks catered to wealthy clients, with large uninsured deposits, more prone to withdraw them in times of stress. we had a structure of near 0 interest rates for 20 years. and when you begin to reset those, especially very quickly, which the fed has under pressure from the inflation debates that we've had, you're going to have structures and evolved under low interest rates that don't meet the challenges of a new environment very well of a higher interest rates, the federal reserve meets later this week to decide whether or not to continue that policy of raising interest rates. at the white house, president joe biden attempted to reassure depositors and the american public. their money is safe. these action is going to make sure that the banking system is safe

and sound, and that includes protecting small businesses across the country who need to make payroll for workers and their small businesses. for rising interest rates may continue to make financial institutions, reluctant, loan money. federal regulators are hoping that this allows the country to put the bank in crisis behind one clear winner and all of this is of course j. p. morgan chase. it was already the united states largest bank. now with this acquisition, it's even larger. christian salumi al jazeera, new york treasury secretary of genet, jaelyn says the us government could default on its debt as early as june. first, if legislators don't raise the debt ceiling. president biden, and republicans in congress are in a standoff of how much the u. s. government can borrow over 200 years. america is never ever, ever fail to pay the debt to put in the capital and colloquial terms. market is not

a dead beat nation. we have never ever fail to meet the debt. now, as a result, we must respect the nations of the world. we pay our bills, and we should do so without reckless hostage taking from some of the mega republicans in congress. so let's bring in, let me pnc professor, political economy at the university of miami, joins us live from miami, florida. really good to see you again. so janet yelling is sam and the alarm that the u. s. could default on its debt as early as next month. out worrying is this current crisis because we've been down this road before many times. we yes, absolutely. i mean we, we worried because the deadline is coming fast, but i mean is very unlikely that they will not be some kind of agreement. settlement between, you know, kevin mccarthy on the republics on side and ended america and ministration because no one's going to want to take the responsibility for such a potential default. i mean, it's not in raising that, the selling. that is nothing. news happens 70 times in 1960 here. the difference is

that i as, as opposed to the last 2 years where they're under president trump for president biden, where the congress was actually on the same side of the president, is the 1st time that the republican party holds. you know that the majority in congress is able to actually try to bargain israeli meant something which is quite, you know, monday in the wash and parties of the last few years or over any, any president i'm remy, it's interesting is that because last week house republicans under kevin mccarthy, not really voted to pass this bill that raise the debt ceiling to $31.00 trillion dollars. but i'm bill effective is dead on arrival when it gets to the senate. president biden's already said i'm going to veto it. why go through all emotions then? well, the question is whether you actually raise the ceiling of the dead with, without conditions i and the we talking about a budget that had been accepted last year. so it's actually that there was already no kind of out of in the books and should be actually managed through, you know, raising additional debt on, on markets. but you know what they said in macau. so congressman, my kathy tried to do was actually to take, you know, to help her hand in a debate,

but saying that we actually will give her a green light to rating that, that silly, but with a series of different conditions that would actually take precedence of a potential future budget valleys you trying to get some negotiation on a series of, of classic and traditional payments from, from, from washington dc in terms of, of, of, of main, our main issue. the important does the everyday workers in the, in the us, the key question here is to see whether or not there will be conditions to her green 2 raising of the debt ceiling. if you will just be obliged to the, by the administration. the republicans are saying, okay, so that's about solar politics, remy but so. so let's play devil's advocate here. if the debt ceiling isn't raised, horror of horrors and america can't pay, it's billed. what does this mean for ordinary americans? how will they be affected on the ground? so it will be very important when you actually look at different journals projection, look at the, and different state of the level of unemployment. but they're very strong. a series of, of bills will not be paid by, by different companies quite immediately. the series of, of potential financing at the state level,

or they're actually being backed by federal or debt levels left. the increase also limiting the capacity for local states to pay for the civil servants. but you also would have a series of, of impact on, on every day citizens especially paying their mortgage with a mortgage me pattened by you know, potentially impact on, on, on the capacity finance ease and also be able to, to meet that the every day. you know, a payments from, from traditional households really pay at always good to get your thoughts and your analysis. really. thank you. my pleasure. cheers. now nearly 300 people had been arrested in france during protest. mocking international work as day authorities say 800000 people rubbed across the country, but the unions, but the number over 2000000. the protest, as they're angry at president emanuel michaels pension reform sign into law last month, which increases the retirement age from $62.00 to $64.00. were made in march as of always have been held in several parts of latin america in columbia. supporters of

president for the double pet for rallied in the capital in support of his controversial proposal for social reforms. lesandra pet reports of the capital public. taking it to the street union if indigenous in pro government movements march to the presidential palace heating the call, it's going to be a president to defend this controversial social reform it is. we settled faithless, preferred strategy in times of crisis. graham get better. deep thought, aqona petrol, would abandon the ideal of a great transformation. but this is not our destiny. that's not why we are here. our function in the history of colombia is to make the reforms succeed. is thomas in a moment though they c. c will, but i'm station comes just days after better. this made almost 7 cabinet ministers, mostly members of the country's political establishment, replacing them with close allies who raised part of your c panel up at the heart of the crisis is pitiless, controversial, health care reform plan which would reduce the involvement of private entities and

give the state more control over funds, but his plan has been lacking in congress. the corporate up green party sen, area lab says the cabinet breakup signals the end of peter's broad governing coalition. but his reform, mister jen, that could be difficult to realize with a weakened face in congress. we are open it and think they think the government presented 35 reform this for the so called social reforms are the most controversial and have led to the breakdown of the coalition. the government now will try to negotiate votes with each congressman. then when see that many of his reforms on fail, petra will try with the 3 democracy. he will try to promote the referendum to prove the reform. critics consider the abrupt shakeup coming just 9 months into better ministration. is it possible radicalization and part of a precedent that has shown patients for the same and the move as also sent shock waves through the currency and bond market?

the most warring last for the markets was the sacking of finance minister was anton . you can pull an internationally admired economist who menu servers saw as a wall of protection against radical moves that are replaced them with the car, the bony. yeah. another season economist, but one who up service fear will simply do as he stalled. the president may be keen to make some decisions about cost controls, price increases for, for fuel additional subsidies or even an extraordinary increase in the minimum wage. so each of those lines in the sand represent opportunities for bonnie just to say, stop, know, and show. if he will rise to the occasion and feel the big shoes that accomplish behind, peter will be hoping to push labor pension and help reform to congress in the next couple of weeks. but it will have to do it with declining support in the folds and

shaky konami times the head, showing just how difficult it will be to fulfill his promise of change. i listen that i'm the, i'm just you gotta uninstall a clashes of broken out during made a rallies in some jago protest as have been calling for an increase in the minimum wage and tax reforms. last month tonight, congress passed the law, reducing the work week from 45 to 40 hours. and thousands of people have demonstrated in ecuador capital quito. we repeated the calling to president graham unless to resign last as being investigated, corruption and crimes against state security. equity was constitutional court ruled on wednesday that the national assembly could start impeachment proceedings against the president. ok.

all right, talk to a quick check of the headlines here on out there. a permanent palestinian optimist has died in his ready prison after 86 days on hunger strike. was a member of islamic jihad and was arrested by ready for february and had been on hunger strike me to abraham reporting from la la and the occupied. westbank says his family, his worst fears seemed to come. true. his family had been warning for some time. now that after more than 2 tells and danger his life for the trip was found. i'm conscious today before she was taken to the hospital, according to austin in prime minister, he says, this is an act of estimation. meanwhile, the number of rockets had been fired into israel from garza following caught a man's death to 0. as human aside is falling developments from the city. according to the israeli army tree rockets fired from the gaza strip towards the south. there

is really towns they said that they fell in open areas. so, so far it has been left to statements and to the launching of these 3 rockets. no further. anything has been done on regarding the duration. the un sedan envoy has told the associated press the countries war in general, have agreed to send representatives talks possibly in saudi arabia. the fighting between sedans, army, on the power military rapids support forces has now gone on for more than 3 weeks. the united nations have issued a stop warning about the number of people fling to neighboring countries. serious as one soldier has been killed and 7 others injured, buys railey airstrikes on aleppo. state me to report that epo airport is out of service falling the as strikes. several missiles were reportedly intercepted, nearly 300 people had been arrested in france during protest,

mocking international worth his day. authorities say nearly 800000 people rallied across the country. protest as our angry at president emanuel macros, pension reforms, they have been violent confrontations between demonstrators and police and the capital, paris. those are the headlines. the news continues here now to sierra after the stream statement. that's what i found on counting the cost. europe is turning to africa, gas, some free hydrogen kindly call to let me put them on to the us, china and russia, racing for economic influence on the continent. plus the scramble for africa, spread of elements, is hinting up counting the cost on al jazeera. i hi, i sammy ok. thank you for watching the stream at the moment. there is no shortage

of political analysis on what is happening in the conflict in sudan to warring generals, fighting for control of the country. but on this episode we are focusing on the people of sedan. how are they coping not coping? what is the humanitarian crisis? ordinary civilians really have no stake in this conflict at all. they're essentially being used as pawns or as human shields in what is basically quite literally a personal dispute overpower between 2 generals. they're willing to do anything and everything to win, and that's at the expense of sunni civilians. and the result is an absolute humanitarian disaster that you know, the world can see for their to their own eyes right now. personally, the past few days have been pretty difficult even though i'm not physically in sudan at the moment. my mother and my siblings are back home in clifton where i grew up. and over the past few days, i've held my breath as i followed their efforts to bacteria. hufton. joe now still

discussed the humanitarian crisis from hall to al jazeera english correspondent, heb morgan. in london, dalton, i to the sara abdul julio. and with us from bell fossil carter's, he dan country, director for the new region refugee council. feel watching right now. you're on you . chill, you can be part of this conversation as well. how are people managing ames to down? what are your insights? what's your experience? but it right here and i comment section, i am curious, guess, what does a sci fi and mean? are we in a ceasefire situation? hipaa? well, we've spoken to some people will and obviously ran out of to and the answer is no, we're not. you can still hear the sound of the artillery slide. so you can see, besides the jets, there's the launching asked rags. people still can't leave their homes, they can't access basic necessities. they're still out of water out of power in

incidental areas. and people still don't feel that it's safe for them to go out there. so arms, man, whether it's to rapid support forces on one side or whether it's the sudanese, on the other side, people will feel that it's safe enough for them. the idea that when there's a cease fire, you know, we shouldn't be able to hear the sound of the earth's tried. so she'd be able to hear the fi, suggests we can hear the artillery stripes which need to be seen armed men on the streets and all setting up checkpoints. and because it's not happening, you can see that as a ceasefire, especially when you see blooms of small continuing to rise, are almost all over the capitan. well, so far for the and i'll say are you in a ceasefire situation, you have a little bit of a pause to do some work, but no pauses. i mean, maybe for a few minutes before it, sir, in there for it's broken. i mean, these are new political initiatives, beds a needs to reach people, regardless of whether there's a cease fire or not. and that's not happening at the moment. but yeah,

this strikes those open warfare. people being displaced this ethnic conflict, again, bubbling and awful. but apart from that conflict, now we've got, you know, essentially as a states the market systems are failing. people can't buy bread foods, waters not being pumped, 2 thirds of hospitals out of action. it's knows the 1st crisis of the conflict and now you know, it said she had failed state coming to be, but no, i couldn't say that this is a c fall where it's operationally allowed humanitarians be the sudanese or internationalists to respond effectively dot dot. so when we take for granted that in many parts, well we can just go to the doctor, go to pharmacy, or go to a clinic. but in a situation like we're in right now in sudan, what are you hearing? what are you seeing regarding medical capabilities for people who are injured or just regular medical conditions that they need help with?

what's happening if saddam at the moment is a nightmare? it is the killer lisa institute where there is conflict. so it is not safe to go for did it bring your baby, it may not be safe. if you have a heart attack to go to the hospital or you need an operation for the sick to me. and the risk of being shot are as high. there is at risk even if you're staying at home and that's for doctors, my clinics sites sit on and outside sit on the 16th april. we have started to how it, by tele medicine so that we can provide some support at home for some of the doctor, i'm going to let you just fix up your application. it but is also your microphone. i'm going to go over to him and then come right back to you, just seeing some perfect stories ever and sure for people who are even able to get

online. things like this, i'm just gonna share. this is that i st, posted my family spent so much time arguing about who should escape our team and who should stay with my immobile grandmother. nobody wanted to leave without the others that then now, oh stock. what does being stock mean? it means being under the sound of class, them gone on gunfire. it means not being, not being able to access medical facilities because again, like well said, 2 thirds of them have been damaged. it means should you need medical assistance for your family? any family member, there is no ambulance and we're talking about the medical sector that was already in crisis, even before the slides in between the 2 generals now and it's actually much, much lores. there are no ambulances, there are no supplies in the hospital. one doctor i spoke to says that their recycling surgical,

it's because they don't have that anymore and they can't re supply because of the ongoing fighting. they can access their facilities where they are resupplied result from the so. so that's what it means, you know, to be sought. it means you're at home, you can go to the market because the market has been destroyed. you don't have the cash on hand. banks have been closed since the source of the fighting, and people were not prepared for this. and you wouldn't be able to move you, you can go to neighboring states if you don't have the money. we need to arrange for an apartment or a house there, and that's always guaranteed, especially in house cash on hand or in your bank account. people haven't earned their salaries, windows fighting started. it means your logo, you know, you, you go handle. yeah. so i mean, to add to that it's, you know, it's a family to face with impossible choices. do we leave on the air strikes and no, nope, and warfare to try and take our chances. but to where do we stay and live under? no, we'll just come fire, but h no food or water?

no power. it's a pretty terrible situation. and hottie mused to be a place of safety, where people came from from around xi dong from the conflicts and da fours and other civil wars and also from other countries. she was very generous ads over a 1000000 refugees, most of whom lived in hard team. and suddenly it's turned from somewhere which was a bit tense and repressive to somewhere, which was not now you know it to her effect as will see where nothing is working. so when you go so little information, so few reach to safety, which is such a tough situation that, that crush about. where do you go? where i seeing people from sadangos, if your child, egypt, i just want to share some stories from fin refugees who went to china and what they met there and this situation. now let's have a look new my see that alone i'm into that. there is no security. we fled

from sudan to chad. we want to be safe. there is no security in sudan. we came with nothing. we need so many things to survive. we are very tired, we came during ramadan with no food or water. we rely on you and hcr to take us to safety. you know any no water, no food, no mattresses to sleep. some of us are sick and need medical attention. we are tired and hungry. we cannot go back because it's not safe. they took everything we have shot at us and burned houses. and other thought to say, what is i am at stay old, go what, what choices are members of your family making? yes, a so 1st of all about their previous technical less. oh, i think i got you back. i think, yeah, yeah, we are all in, in a dilemma with just as doctors but as in about additive, but just going back that,

you know, we have been trying to give some advice by lots of our families. some of them are contacting, and you know me from godaddy, farther from heart to other and from different parts i, but mainly from i'm, you know, the 80 of the conflict and the questions are very basic. it's questions that they can, you know, house from the primary as center health center, but they can reach the private health center and then comes, the problem is where can we give them the medicine? they need a policy um all they need that they are lied to. i'm so i need to go back and find where are the community pharmacies that are open and hopefully with the neighbors a day can share some of the medication. so at the end that what they said to you, thank you. you just feel you want to cry because i've done nothing but for their between a lot because it's preventing them from going to the street. my relatives and it's

the slit. some of them moved to a la da 0 in the center. others are going to the east and other decided not to leave. and others are going to the nurse. and i, at some points, we lost contact me, some of our representatives, and we went my abduction, me because we expected the worse. to be honest, i can't find what out to sell you in touch with and now did you find them? so i stopped, they came back to us, but it is, it is the nightmare. i do think it happened. so today as i'm speaking to you, some of them are on route, either east or north, and therefore we are like, you know, sitting. i'm just praying that everything would be fine. he back ahead. well, sarah brought up something quite interesting when she said, you know, we rely on neighbors to try to get the basics like medicines or sets long. that's one thing that, you know, it gives you a glimmer of hope and panel phrases, your spirits and during lisa, dark time, seeing how our communities in neighborhoods and you know,

people who usually just me on the streets in the morning to say good morning or maybe during, you know, community events, they've come together in a very impressive way. ready the little that they have thought they tried to bring it together to teacher, give it to those who needed the most and ever, ever been quite impressed in only his stories of you know i, i was running out of flower and my neighbor gave me a flower 2, able to make bread, i'm running out of medicines and people. you can sit on the internet, sharing the medications that they have, that they've solved and same. this is what we have, and this is where i am a senior buy a new and need to come up there from the or will try to meet somewhere. there is obviously security risk of not leaving your home, but people are trying to break that challenge to that, to be able to learn, to deliver the basics. and as much as it's quiet, heartwarming to see that it's also interesting to see that these people have joined the wrongs of human. it's erin organizations and it's, it's where the human inter arab musicians need to step up and render sanchez. the

security challenge is in terms of movement. sh, when to see the neighborhood communities, the small, small groups of people challenge the security risks and willing to risk their lives to be able to deliver some kind of assistance. because they know that there's a person who's desperately named that could be a matter of life and death. ah, it's, it's, it's, it's impressive to see that the youth and the people are coming together to stand with each other during these signs. well, i wanted, i wanted to pick up off this back of it, but can i play the something 1st? oh, and it's really a challenge and a question to the ham monetary in organizations. picking up from the challenge that hippa kind of put out that this is dahlia. she escaped from how tune and ended up in port sudan, but she also really important question he, she is, and then will immediately off the back of dahlia, please jumping. so there's going to be another crisis that no one has envisioned and no one knows how to deal with it. and i think the international community

missed the gold and golden chance when they back away to the foreign nationals that they could have gotten in some supplies, anything to type things over. they didn't. so we are left with no security, no hope that these 2 men will actually see all the crashes, those. he's all no fighting and we have no food security. so we're basically left to fend for ourselves with her with nothing. yeah, that say no, it's pretty powerful. and please, to be frank. i think these criticisms are fair in the sense. see the hope that hippa mentions and i've seen sudanese hospitality, cannot just for sudanese people vote for correctly geez, from other countries who they've not sheltered and shared food with. and there's been a massive focus on century and evacuation effort from many of the international community

everyone notation, other organizations. we haven't left, majority of our management staff, international staff as well. are still in sudan, just relocated out of hard to know places such as where dr. cyrus, family, part of the family is going to imagining what we're doing assessments. so we're trying to stay and deliver to at risk staying. we really worried about what we can deliver. you know, we, we can't purchase things from the local market, calling it money. and through the banking system, fuel supplies are out. so it's, it's, it's tough and you know what, really the next is needs to be a sustainable operation. here. it can't be through call too many more. we have to get supplies and personnel in. and we're also dealing with the fact that it's not just a conflict, but of failing state failing market system. so it's as tough and now we need

resolve that know that some organizations have stage for sure the need to step up now in the special community. these refocus on how we get this logistically. we started in a very complex and dangerous operating environment. 58 workers were killed in the 1st few days and i'm sure many, many more as well. so it's not, it's not straightforward and simple. you will see what happens purchasing hard soon, but in other conflicts affect parts of the country as well. you know, it's not a sudden change. there's been conflict off for has been destabilizing glass 2 years since the peacekeeping mission left. we already had 3 quarters of a 1000000 people displaced from our conflict newly in the last 2 years or so. so that was getting dangerous and that was sort of dropped off the cliff edge. i mean, we have to bring it back up, but i agree. and i'm always marvel by the solidarity of sydney's people. it was but it was honorable for and now they've got nothing really to share in the systems out

there around. so yeah, i mean, to go, we echo the court to get, you know, the session community to get their act together. we part of the trying to look at alternative approaches, try to figure out how to procure and get supplies in. but none of this is simple. fortunately the by layer because i've been following on on her story as it is that i was and i'm deciding where she is talking and where they are today, where they moving to. and it was very as well, very stressful to hear her story and what's been going on. but at the same time, i think they did not show community should not be surprised. that extension will be happening for us to see it is they should be 20 years to date, but not sure the completion of what happened in the 4th and the expectation they should expect the worst. so the, they, we weren't expecting as,

but he's asked for that these evacuation aircraft with carrie, at least medication for the people who sit on or any, some photos of a that we have reached out. but you know, nothing has been happen. they have a question itself for those who are going to be the country was really very, very stressful. and very so much for some families leaving behind some moving and have to choose a pick. and that's what example you have doctors working in the u. k. but they're not british, but because they don't have the nationality. it is just you feel like the concept of humanity is just lost, then you move to what's happening in the borders. and for us, we feel like we have to be there for those who are staying. i cannot cross the border feeling sick. i've got a very dangerous journey and some of them are collapsing. they're not. how can we do that? i mean it's, i mean, it, these are difficult,

difficult, dangerous circumstances really and, you know, speak to too many of you know team including ones that at the beginning the response in parts. but yeah, yeah it's, it's as dire and we see the destruction in hearts him for this the situation for people who also haven't cross borders to leave both new residents of sudan. but also that, you know, over a 1000000 refugees as well. we also see coming back to, to different camps. so having to go back to the same places that they said from and so, you know, speaking to some of our teams have been to matheney and to, to, to, to part such as air in the last few days and try to figure out how to test to step up despite everything i said, no, it's bleak there's, there's just so little there to do. we see no schools and buildings, you know,

with, with, with, with, with adding put up. but there's the re, little sued of water. and now the markets are beginning to, i'm thin and cash isn't moving. so it's, you know, it's doubly traumatizing for many people. i don't, so we'll adopt. so i'm just gonna take a post. i want to bring in some of the voices into this conversation. and then also go to youtube paper. i've got some questions on youtube. i know that you will be able to answer or least give some insight on some context for afterwards her watching right now. but 1st of all, to people from see don, who helped us kind of build a picture of how people are managing or not managing in this current conflict. let's have a look. i still talk to them. i see a lot of problems. somehow. i absolutely. kristi already water in their homes for over a week now. and then many people are facing sources and food supplies. almost all the stores and homer foods speak for people in cartoon,

where there is no access to fuel. a friend just was desperately looking for a solution to get her father to the doctor to find an ambulance and they couldn't find fuel. and in the end, when they reached the hospital, he passed away. he was so new to i've got 2 comments. i want to share with you this 1st one is from ron jello. and she says i flew out a hall team on the 7th of april. would never imagine what happened one week later. when i saw the out 0 videos of passengers lying down on the add port check in hall and plains on the tarmac, i could not believe it was the same place i'd walked through a few days earlier. if your generally see, believe what you see your reporting on it, but you also have family and see dan, how would you describe these last couple of weeks for you in terms of a reality check?

we because i report him on sudan. anything covering it politics and along with other series, when we saw the warning signs, we knew it was coming. and i remember um i was speaking to my mom. i think it was like 3 days before this happened. i told her we need to be prepared for something like this. but my mom is a typical sidney's mom. she just, you know, she, she downplayed it, she reading that even when it's thought fighting, she will when the fight and started to read down faded. but i haven't seen my family for 12 days. i i have, i created my family from one to one. i was in the sacred by. i don't know, and i went to be able to see them again. i don't know how long this is going to los angeles. it's been a reality check in the sense that in a we we see we're in m science, but we don't always necessarily act on it. and i don't know if it's because we have family members who are trying to assurace them because they're in denial themselves or men because they don't want this to happen. but these past 2 weeks have showed me that you know, politics is it's,

it's politics. yes. but that having the military involved, you know, the demands of the people when they started this revolution, they said they didn't want the monitoring politics. and it's kind of, you know, it makes you see why they didn't want that because it's one of the things that they really feared. but the other thing is, you know, when i, when i, when i look at this past 2 weeks and i look at the solidarity of the people again, it gives you hope that yes, it's been devastating. and it's been really, really hard to look at the streets. the league is of the sweets that you don't used to drive through and taken everything for granted. those buildings are gone completely destroyed in the. ready se simple facilities like in a boss her and the tricity. there was an everyday thing now. now it's very hard to get right. ah. but then again, like i said, you see the people coming together and you know that rebuilding, it may take time. but the people will be able to do it because it has a desire to do so because they want to come back for them. like well said earlier,

how to zoom is displays were that brought people together, whether you displace personal, whether you're looking for better living conditions, or whether because you want to stay with a family or better treatment. it may not be the best in the world, but for many people it was hard to him. it's, it's the best he can get to, and it's where your family is in school. your heart is mr. capital are the safest place around the country. and i did, it is hope for many people despite what they've seen is by losing family members, despite hearing the airstrikes and the artillery shillings they so household. and that makes me believe that this, this may last for awhile and softly within the last for a short while a long while. but people will come back and they will rebuild. it won't be easy, but they will be able to do so. ever and dr. sarah and well, thank you for helping us understand the humanitarian crises so vividly. i want to share something with you and this is from somebody who fled from sudan. and as he

was playing on the bus, somebody stopped by and gave all the passengers juice and hospitality. and this is how they ended their their thought here, that as you leave hall to me, it becomes really, really clear. these are the last fills that you're ever smile latch like they are yours. this gives you a sense of the pain of seeing your own country, your own at home, in a complex situation. thank you for watching. thank you for your future comments and questions. the news about the down of course, continues here and out to sara. ah

a t a pushing with one tour global perspective mm. in 2018. a journalist lead 40 days, a civic action against the armenian government,

and president sockets yann's grip on power. i'm going to live with this where and documentary follows he's non violent campaign to bring down a corrupt regime. and it's astonishing outcome with a gun, a democratic love of revolution. i am not alone armenians velvet revolution on al jazeera. ah, which is here. when ever you oh ah, a prominent member of the palestinian group is not

a jack dies and his writing prison harder and i've been on the hunger strike the 86 days. ah, hello, i'm darn jordan. this is al jazeera alive from dough also coming up. so that ins warren generals, a breaches and representatives, talks and saudi arabia as gun battles continue in the capital call to mean all the you and warns of a full blown catastrophe. and that 800000 people could free the violence to may bring countries on may damage is across latin america. we look at whether the new way but the left we need is making any progress on labor runs. ah, we begin with breaking news. a prominent palestinian activist scada has died in his ready prison off the 8 to 6 days on hunger strike. adam was

a member of islamic jihad. he was arrested by his writing forces nero's omen janine in early february and had been on the hunger strike to protest against the conditions of his detention. how to add non was $45.00 on the staff about duties from the palestinian national initiative. he called at nuns, beth, an act of assassination by these weighty government. this is a very dangerous thing that has happened. there is a government in particular of inconvenient dis sasha minister in those ready governments personally responsible for this the act of association. i called it an act of assassination because there is a government knew very well and its military court that a person who is on hunger strike for 87 days did not receive any kind of medical care, could die at any moment. and that's exactly what has happened. 109 is a political activist. he was not engaged or involved in any kind of reaction. for

instance, he was just politically resisting occupation with this beaches with his stokes, with solidity action. he is a political activist and he was trying to express the suffering of the palestinian people and demanding our freedom from occupation and the system of apartheid that we are subjected to. but let me tell you that the conditions in which the business is horrible. we have lost up to this moment, 337 ellis tinian, but as not died. and it is that i showed no less than $13000.00 order of administrative detention without charges against palestinians. and as i said, there are 1000 of them today at this moment, including 6 children under administrative detention. this is a country that is practicing fashion. if the country is right, is

a country that is practicing an acceptable violation of human rights. while i'll just there was need to, abraham is on the line from ramallah and the occupied, the west bank need a so what more can you tell us about cod? i'm the events leading up to his bed. this is the 5th strike for how that man is really jails. it was the longest before he was found unconscious in his cell and taken to a hospital in israel before he was announced that there was many warnings from his family saying that his health is the junior retainer. started the hunger strike in february, soon as he was arrested because he was expecting that he will be held without charges, as has been the case with him in time. the person who has spent 8 years in jail, then he was presented with a list of charges that he said were disproportionate to the sentence. and the years

with requested for him. so he continued his hunger strike. many human rights organizations were saying that they needed needed to be efforts to save him. and unfortunately, he died this morning and neither is his death, like to lead to an escalation in violence perhaps across the west bank. well, when you talk to color seniors, they would tell you that this is an effort by israel to kill is really already passed in you prisoners who are undergoing hunger strike. how that are input ticket or is a symbol for that? in 2012 started the movement. let's call it of individual hunger strikes and protesting arrest without charges. while this case is different, still he's a very symbolic person who's heard from palestinian officials, the prime minister calling it's an assassination. the palestinian, the p l. o star, 3 general saying that all accountability for his dad's that we heard from it's let

me just had saying that this is an escalation and that, that they will respond to. so it's hard to tell how it's going to play out. but it's in the way that the heating report of a. busy shooting need and illegal is really supplement. we're hearing potentially there is a stabbing attack following the news. of course, this is a sentiment that shows you this involve triggered, but it needs to be seen how it's going to be playing out here the occupied you. i think all right, i need the abraham live for the in ramallah in the occupied westbank need a thank you. well, they've been attacks from gaza towards israel. human side is live now on the phone from kansas city. you know, what sort of response have we seen and heard in gods or to the death of godaddy? yes. so that was to your faction here in the gaza strip. it's live and she had had last and all other policy and factions. they've mourned. and they said that the

now a united nations organized conference in afghanistan is being held in cattle. i mean on getting concerns over the countries di humanitarian situation. but the taliban administration has not been invited to take part in the 2 days of closed on meetings in doha. and it's issued a statement saying, any meeting without its participation is unproductive even counterproductive. it has a legitimate right to express its position and the statement questions how decisions taken can be acceptable or implemented if the taliban are not part of the process. finally, it says the move is discriminatory and unjustified on calls for the issues to be sold through a pragmatic approach. well, i didn't want to get it. james bass has more the un having a conference here in doha and they've not invited the taliban. they're not invited the women, the un though say there's a reason for this and actually i've just come from new york on a flight from new york and on the same flight was the insect general antonio terrace. and he made it clear to me that the,

the international community needs to be on the same page. and that's the purpose of this meeting, not to engage with the women, not to engage with the taliban, but to get the international community in the same place. because there are different countries with very different views. now one thing that he believes is strengthened. the u. s. position is at the end of last week, the un security council came up with a resolution condemning the taliban and its policy towards women. and particularly the ban on female un workers doing their jobs in afghanistan. he believes that the 1st real sign of unity on this issue from the security council could mean unity for this meeting, which is with a much wider grouping. it's western powers, it's regional powers. it's our powers all coming together and the u. n. is trying to get them on the same page. for since returning to power, the taliban has restricted the participation of girls and women in education from holding must jobs and even visiting public spaces. the un, considering whether it can maintain its relief operation in the country of the

taliban bod african women from working with you in agencies. valia cookies, a former member, the african parliament. she says, the international community has given too many confessions to the town about i believe taliban are using, you know, women's rights goes into cation woman's rights to work, to public engagement, to political participation as a bargaining chip her with the international community and, and the international community also does not really have a firm unified position over this issue. over the last 4 or 5 years of the world engagement with ton of on the will has continuously, you know, given away to as taliban. what they did not really have a unified position. i believe the world, especially them, was them countries you know, that y c member states, the regional countries whose, you know, if you look at countries like you eat cutter, where the meeting is being hold. and many other muslim countries, if you look at them, they have woman at the top leadership. but if you look it up on a sun,

despite the progress that we have had, and despite like being historically as a place for everybody as a country. now you see women are being deprived and pushed to the 0, basically corner. they are deprived of any of their rights. i'm in contact on daily basis with a lot of women who express how it actually affected their mental health as well. so it's not about economy or security of, of, on a since about women's mental health. and i think and taliban will not, you know, make it if they continue to suppress a woman who are 55 percent of the population. and therefore, the world must have a firm, unified position and as, and need to address among themselves. i shall break karen out 0 when we come back 1st republic bank is taken over by j. p. morgan chase. it's the 3rd us base bank to fail in response monitoring. ah

turning into a full blown catastrophe. friend joe biden says that the u. s. commitment to defending the philippines is ironclad. he was speaking during a visit to the white house by president ferdinand macos junior. all costs was making the 1st visit by a leader from the philippines for more than 10 years. a significantly improve relations with the us since taking over from rodrigo to tattoo and june. top of the agenda is defense corporation with worries of the increased chinese activity in the region. the united states also reminds iron clad not remains, are included our commitment to the defense of the philippines, including the south china sea. and we're going to continue to support the philippines military modernization is only natural, the philippines to look through it. so, sol, treaty, partner in the world ought to strengthen to redefine

the, the relationship that we have and the roles that we play in the face of those rising tensions that we see now are all dissolved china and asia pacific. and endless egregious now the international monetary fund, the i, m f, has just released a report on the state of the economy across asia and the pacific region. it projects an increase in growth this year to 4.6 percent. that's up from 3.8 percent in 2020 to jessica washington. as more from beijing. it's really a positive indicator for the region as a whole. the regional economic outlook has raised asia's economic forecast for the year of 2023. under this broader theme of resilience, despite the global economic challenges, the report notes, of course, the 2023 is a challenging year in terms of the outlook for the global economy. but despite the challenges, despite that rather gloomy outlook, the asia pacific remains in i and i quote, a dynamic region that is,

is sudden to sort of power growth of for the global economy through 2023. asia pacific is set to see a growth rate of 4.6 percent for the year of 2023. and another interesting statistic in this report is that the reading is set to contribute around 70 percent of global growth for the year of 2023. and most of that is powered by the economies of china and india as well. if we take a look at some of the reasons behind this positive outlook, despite the rather gloomy global economic outlook. one main factor of course, that can't be overlooked, is the reopening of china. this week i was seeing this, this holiday week, millions of people around the country travelling and the, the i, m f has flagged that as we see this increase mobility increased consumers spending . well, that can only be a positive indication for china's economy, but also for the, the broader region as well. now the failed us bank trust republic is being acquired by its rival, j, p. morgan chase and

a $10600000000.00 deal. regulators had taken control of 1st republic after a crash and at share price. it's the 3rd us bank failure since march. and as christian salumi reports from new york therapy, as it went through the last it was early monday morning when regulators announced the end of 1st republic bank. and what they hoped was the end to a crisis of confidence in the u. s. financial system banking giant, j. p. morgan stepped in to purchase the california based banks, nearly $104000000000.00 and deposits and $229000000000.00 and assets before the stock market opened. gp morgan ceo, jamie diamond, spoke with analysts about the deal. no christabel is perfect for the crisis is over . first republic had been teetering on the brink of collapse in the wake of 2 others, silicone valley and signature bank, amounting to some of the largest bank failures in us history. rising interest rates caused loans and investments to lose value. all 3 of these banks catered to wealthy

clients, with large uninsured deposits, more prone to withdraw them in times of stress. we had a structure of near 0 interest rates for 20 years. and when you begin to reset those, especially very quickly, which the fed has under pressure from the inflation debates that we've had, you're going to have structures that evolved under low interest rates that don't meet the challenges of a new environment very well of a higher interest rates, the federal reserve meets later this week to decide whether or not to continue that policy of raising interest rates. at the white house, president joe biden attempted to reassure depositors and the american public. their money is safe. these action is going to make sure that the banking system is safe and sound, and that includes protecting small businesses across the country who need to make payroll for workers and their small businesses. are rising interest rates may continue to make financial institutions reluctant to loan money. federal regulators

are hoping that this allows the country to put the bank in crisis behind them. one clear winner in all of this is of course j. p. morgan chase. it was already the united states largest bank. now with this acquisition, it's even larger. kristin salumi al jazeera new york treasury secretary, janet yellen says the u. s. government could default on its debt as early as june. first, if legislators don't raise the debt ceiling. president joe biden on republicans in congress are in a stand off of how much the u. s. government can borrow silly. 300 people had been arrested in france during protests marking international workers. day authorities say $800000.00 people rallied across the country, but the unions put that figure out of a $2000000.00 to protest as are angry at president manuel macros pension reform, san angelo last month, which increases the retirement age. i'm 6264 and made

heart of the crisis is pitiless, controversial, healthcare reform plan, which would reduce the involvement of private entities and give the state more control over funds that his plan has been lagging in congress to corporate green party sen ariel. avi le says the cabinet break up signals the end of peters, broad governing coalition. but his reformist agenda could be difficult to realise with a weakened base in congress. if we are not present, don't think they think the government presented. 35 reforms of this for the so called social reforms are the most controversial and have led to the breakdown of the coalition. government now will try to negotiate votes with each congressman. then when seized many of his reforms on fail, petra will try with the 3 democracy. he will try to promote the referendum to prove the reform. critics consider the abrupt shake upcoming, just 9 months into better that ministration is a possible radicalization. i'm part of a precedent that has shown little patience for the same and the move as also sent

shock waves through the currency and bond market. the most worrying last for the markets was the sacking of finance minister was antonia campbell, an internationally admired economist, who many observers saw as a wall of protection against radical moves. better to replace them with regard to bony. yeah, and other season economists, but one who observers fear, will simply do as he stoled the president may be keen to make some decisions about cost controls. price increases for, for fuel additional subsidies, or even an extraordinary increase the minimum wage. so each of those lines in the sand represent opportunities for bonnie, just to say, stop, know, and show if he will rise to the occasion and feel the big shoes that are couple left behind. peter will be hoping to push labor pension and help reform to congress

in the next couple of weeks, but it will have to do it with declining support in the folds and shake it comic times the head showing just how difficult it will be to fulfill his promise of change. i listen that i'm the i just gotta uninstall a clash is a broken out during made a rallies in santiago, protest as i've been calling for an increase in the minimum wage and tax reforms last month, july congress pop alone reducing the workload from 45 out in brazil, president luna da silva, has announced an increase in the minimum wage to my international work, and they said the increase will help citizens cope with rising inflation. we thousands of people have demonstrated in ecuador capital, kito ah, according to president gear, milan sought to resign. his being investigated for corruption and crimes against state security. equity was constitutional court ruled on

[000:00:00;00] with hello, i'm adrian said again, and this is counting the coastal al jazeera. you'll, we can look at the world of business and economics this week. europe has time to africa to replace russian gas. it's now looking at the continents green hydrogen potential to make the shift to renewables. but can african countries fill the energy gaps? also this week, the us, china and russia, racing for political and economic influence on the continent, but at what cost? plus, playing catch up, washington and beijing, also competing for africa's wrap up elements which are critical to the production of renewable technologies. ah, as europe shown as washing energy supplies,

it's increasingly turning to africa. find alternatives. the continent has vast natural gas reserves, but supplies only 6 percent of fossil fuel globally. african governments and businesses want to capitalize on the opportunity created by the war in ukraine. but critics warned that millions of africans lack electricity and supplies a much needed at home overcoat. some sharif reports since russia invaded ukraine last year. several european leaders have visited african countries . you're looking for alternative energy suppliers. and the continent has some of the wolves, deepest natural gas reserves. analysts say, a lack of investment in energy infrastructure and security threats from arm groups have hamper development. but the war in ukraine has presented an opportunity, one algeria and italy already exploring ca, much in other allowed procurement there. camille blame as to increase energy

exports from algeria to italy and potentially on to europe, including finding solutions to increase the volume of gas transported a new pipeline that would also transport hydrogen and new electrical undersea cable and increased production of liquefied natural gas. let any spaniel 2 is tapping up, increasing exports of ellen g liquefied natural gas to germany from 2500000 tons this year to up to 10000000 by 2030, which it's hoped will create much needed employment. we want to be able to her whatever you consume decision maker. this is project for selling off for the development of the country. and it's important that we have our senegalese national sitting on the table. some believe europe spivey towards africa could solve the continents on supply problems. the international energy agency estimates about 600000000 africans don't have power. while 900000000 have no access to pin fuels

for cooking union venue for the am a given, we often have trouble getting electricity. but we think that with this plant, this will change little by little you. i'm currently african countries provide around 20 percent of europe's gas and the energy crisis is fueling hope that the continent can increase the chair. when we consume sharif al jazeera for counting the cost. johnny has not from johannesburg, his n. j. ioc is the executive chairman at the african energy chamber. good to have you with us, sir. and jay, how much of an opportunity for african countries has the war in ukraine provided in terms of energy supplies? it war in ukraine had actually drain african energy supplies because they have been massive demand for a lot of natural gas going to europe in a saying that natural gas could have been use the venus or it, or use with getting g across africa to already power africa,

big europe has been the biggest consumer of africa, natural gas, you seen gas sales increase from equity around getting to nigeria to mozambique. i pretty shipping some respect shipments on his book and yelling. he's in your, on our jury as well as the year has become africa. biggest consume of natural gas seems to war. ukraine started africa has massive reserves, but does it have the capacity to ramp up supply? he doesn't have the capacity to ramp up supply because it has been massive on the investment in africa. natural gas for a long time. african natural gas has been good on it. back on, on it, back food because the around climate concerns. yeah. the lack of investment on that he best been around exploration for natural gas and healing infrastructure. people mean like in nigeria i am going through

a moroccan hodge area hot not being developed. you pipelines going from nigeria? true with african american. yeah. has not been, you know, a lot of the gas fields that are being stranded and i have not seen that investment . that has been a problem for africa right now. and i think right now we need to start thinking about having a game changer, henri, around, and financing for infrastructure and, and gas people, and floating in gees. i've seen that it struck solution for right now for africa with that investment going to come from given that the massive potential for profit here, you'd think that the people would be, would be locking the door down to, to invest in africa right now. well, i think the biggest issue around when people are looking at invest in africa around natural gas, you seen massive gases are being found now maybe maybe more them be nigeria still have great potential with being passed right now in need to receive financing.

but we also have to take into consideration some of the struggles of financing because it does have to wasn't with car. they have to cut red tape, create an environment. i'm re do deals 5 star sign, the sign sign you. but also, in a sense, way you shouldn't take too long to approve your project any time you needed to drive to, to build a project. and we need to look us african me to start thinking about how we address issues around resource nationalities. and it doesn't walk on when we do do investment flowing even greater. come on, critic, slow as i say that africa needs to fix its internal supply problems 1st before it exports. it's resources to other countries or how to africa. governments strike a balance, a leash that can be done here. 600000000 africans don't have

access to electricity. 900 me. you don't have no access to clean cooking technologies. most of them when the continent is still seeing massive and it won't been on industrialization. so that natural gas needed, we can strike a healthy balance to re duque, i'm thinking about gas, while european partners and all the same time, be able to drive not just gas power projects, but also petro chemicals. and all of that, it gets lean, talk to us investment, but also the climate polarization scene around the world. when he comes to gas, it's really a hurry. i forgot the most because he got to be in color right. at the same time in european countries have declared gas green and gas is green for europe. been praying for africa and we need to be very careful about getting cold debt and gay, telling us that balance court d i using quarter power. you're right now why in south africa today did when 8 or 10 i was,

we knew it. christie on black house be so we need to find out balance that when you come down on to polarize ation, that we see on the political partitions need to watch. the language in the scramble for natural gas is, is europe ignoring africa's potential for renewable energy sources? absolutely, as best potential for renewable sources, we just started talking about bringing hydrogen this amazing amount of potential to re, re, re hydrogenated, re ammonia in europe. and we africa really drive that no carbon economy that can really deal with heavy industries. look at morocco, some other projects happened in egypt are area that come right down to south africa, south african, the media is seen amazing amounts on the big green hygiene deals that being signing mauritania. i'm synagogue and that great potential that has have to come, but we also have to pay attention to the fact that even if we going to movies green and call me a low cabin economy,

africa has less than 2 percent of global investment in renewables. debt is not right, that needs to be increased and that needs to be wrapped up. if you are going to react. and i actually think just in the transition, you can tell africa today. and as we get nothing to colonize, that the same time you not matching those words with financing with connie, and we are talking a, we talking real credit lines. we talking financing investments that will really go on and give africa if i can chance to re industrialize why some of their, what the nation come to couple nice at this time. it's been great to talk your account to the cost many thanks for being with us. that he so what is an honor to be with you? ah, china has spent 2 decades expanding its political and economic relations with africa to day one in 3 major infrastructure projects on the continent is built by

chinese state owned enterprises. that's according to the u. s, but beijing isn't alone. russia is widening its involvement. that 2 mainly through arms sales and mining projects. now after 4 years of neglect, under the trump administration, president joe biden wants to win africa back. his administration's officials of toward the continent over the past few months in a bid to unlock american investments that among them is vice president comalla harris, who's announced billions of dollars and investments to gonna tanzania and zambia biden has committed $55000000000.00 in financial assistance to africa over the next 3 years, he's also increased humanitarian aid to african countries. mainly those battling food insecurity. while he has a look at how american investments in africa compared to chinese ones, china was the continents largest to weigh trading partner in 2021. with more than

$254000000000.00 worth of business. the united states institute of peace says that's 4 times the amount of trade between the u. s. and africa. a new study by the center for global development says the chinese banks provided $23000000000.00 to infrastructure projects in sub saharan africa, between 272020. that's more than double. the amount lent by such banks in the u. s . germany, japan, france combined. beijing is the largest provider of foreign direct investment, supporting hundreds of thousands of african jobs. that's nearly double the level of u. s. foreign direct investment. chinese landing the african countries has dropped lately, but the nation remains by far, the largest linda to african countries. china's critics accused of deliberately lending the african countries that it knows can't repay the money to increase its political influence. beijing denies practicing so cold debt trap diplomacy and says partnerships a built in good faith. the u. s also accuses washes varden

a group which i secured many mining projects in africa, of committing human rights abuses and of extorting natural resources in african countries. joining us now from london is alex my and he's the director of the africa program, the managing director of ethics, risk, and resilience at a chat of the house. alex, good to have you with us. why are russia, china, and the u. s. racing to build economic ties with africa right now, where an error of multi polarity and africa has plenty of natural resources. it has strategic and critical minerals. i, it, it has a very large agricultural base. and so it's, it's a market the many countries want to be engaged in. all of the reality is that we are in a bit of a retreat. and just at the moment because of the state of the global economy and, and hot hyde lending. right? so the, the con, the cost of providing funding has,

has gone significantly up. and so there's still plenty of activity on the african continent, but it is much dampened compared with what it was say in 20192020. so putting aside the that, that the town to, for the mobile, how does africa approach this dealing doing business with 3 competing powers? yeah, i mean, not just 3 competing cars. i mean ad in the gulf states, turkey, i'm, you know, the members of the european union. so is a really crowded, frenetic market place. and i think that the word non alignment, i think, is the, the most apparent that comes to mind. many african countries, not all of them, many of them want to be non aligned, they do not want to be pigeonholed. and so they prefer choosing an ally costs approach. they want to kind of pick and choose what's good for them. and i think that that is that the,

the new reality that we're dealing with. so that's not bad if you got lots of suitors, as long as you negotiate a good deal in flight praying off russia and china and some gulf states of maybe some europeans. you might get a better deal i if, if you're able to manage and negotiate that well, the by the ministration has stepping up its campaign to, to win africa back. what areas is it looking to invest in and how does that differ differ rather from the areas that the china and russia are investigate early . the americans are definitely very concerned about access of strategic and critical minerals for the industrial complex back in the united states. have had a number of high level meetings about this, see including on the fringes of the u. n. so countries like the democratic republic of the congo come to mind, i'm the u. s. has looked at how to support in the structure, but they infrastructure companies are not doing too well, and some are actually retreating at the moment. so that, that,

that the headline says from, from the biden administration, a very positive you've just mentioned the figures, the reality of corporate america falling behind. i'm at the moment. it is very sluggish. if you look at the camilla harris trip that you mentioned, the vice president of the united states to gonna and zambia or am i forget really the one other country tons near. i think it might have been i'm, i, there wasn't so so much corporate america tied to that trip despite what she was saying. and there, i think there is a problem for the united states. they really do need to get a lot more corporate american companies focused on the african market than they have at the moment. china is accused, once again of setting deck traps across the continent is, is good question. this is a piece of work that we ourselves did at chatham house, published in that last december. and we'd looked at where china was really

investing so that the reality is it shut china's of f d i and investments are, are deep. but in a smaller number of countries, particularly 7 or 8 countries, which we focused on. when we looked at those in death, we didn't find evidence of debt track except potentially am one. and that's g booty . and that's because if it's g, a strategic position on the gulf of aidan, i'm many countries have strategic interests that because of its location by consensus, the that the gulf of aidan itself. but also because of access to the hinterland, ethiopia. so i don't think that the evidence stacks up on, on rhetoric, on the, on deck trap, which tends to be not only out of washington, although less so just recently. but japan and india tend to kind of use that rhetoric. but there's the, the research that we've done doesn't, doesn't support that. and what about what russia is, is doing in africa and 2019 president putin said that he was going to double

investment to on the continent. it has that materialized given the sanctions that are in place against russia given the war in ukraine. and so the russians have another, the 2nd russia, africa summit planned for july, this year in st. petersburg. so it'll be interesting to see who shows up and what the headlines are there, and particularly from the commercial side, the reality when i talked to, to russians as it's been very difficult for them in terms of investment. there are some nice areas still where, where, where russia is investing as longstanding investments in the republic, a guinea on book side. and i've just seen figures through, in terms of exports, of, of kind of a fuel products, kerosene and other things have significantly increased in a couple of african countries, particularly north african ones. but also nigeria, which i think is a reconfigure ration of trade with the african confidence given you and western sanctions. and so those exports are going elsewhere. but russia is struggling

except in a, in a few countries. as you've mentioned that private military company, butler has been active and has struck dales to, to extract minerals in exchange for security services. got to talking about x money . thanks for being with us on counting the cost. you're very welcome. thank you for inviting me. africa is also at the heart of a geo political scramble, so read us minerals demand for those elements is increasing globally as governments around the world pledge to reduce their emissions and make the transition to green energy. the metals are used in the production of electric vehicles and wind turbines and other renewable technologies. and many african nations have large deposits of them. but chinese miners control most commercial exports of minerals in places like the democratic republic of congo, zambia and tens of the air, for example. and beijing refines as much as 60 percent of the world's lithium bolden. 60 percent of its cobalt, according to

a report by the brookings institution and results for development. the us wants to decrease its reliance on china and is trying to africa for the minerals. joining us not from idaho in the united states, peter major, the director of mining at modern corporate solutions. good to have you with us, peter. how significant are african deposits of red of minerals? why? like a lot of things. we don't really know. how can they are we just know africa is the largest continent in the world and other than asia. and it's probably the least explored, even though man has been here for a few 100 years. western man, it's huge and it's rich. and just the congo alone is bigger than europe. and congo has gone from almost bursley 50000 tons of copper production a year,

to almost 2000000 tons just in the last 20 years. and that's just one country out of a huge continent. and it's because there hasn't been a demand large enough that could be met with the rest world. if, if we see a chilly in south america, produces almost a 3rd of the world's copper. but it's now peaked for the last 10 years. it can't produce much more copper is slowly going down, but the will population keeps growing, and the demand for copper keeps going. and so now, more more countries are turning to africa even though it's, it's still quite disorganized, even though it's quite still 3rd world. it is hugely, hugely rich and still relatively unexplored and that includes all minerals, not just copper. in rarer st, without a doubt, are going to be probably more abundant in china, in africa than even are in china with more money put into expiration. so peter,

what are the, the challenges for africa than in a realizing its full potential? we hear a word in south africa use quite, quite frequently by the west. and now it's use myself africans themself. although they don't like the word in it's called policy. and even if you were very disorganized, even if you were very poor, even if you are very corrupt to crime ridden, if you have the correct policies it on board, you will attract money. real money. and we don't mean hot money that comes in the day leads to moral. we lead bricks and mortar money. and that's unfortunately been a lot of africa's problem is their policies change too often. probably the 2nd problem in africa is they can't enforce the policy when they get a good one. and so if you have a bad policy, you attract the wrong money. i'll forget needs money invested there. that you want

the right money and you need the right policy yet. right. and also, i mean, i suppose on the policy comes, security has a lot of unrest in many countries in africa, and people who invest what a low that the assets while they're investing into is, is secure. they certainly do adrian. and amazingly enough, even though governments can't always provide that security, if they have the correct policy, the western cut countries, the western investors and, and let me know prejudice, anyone yell china asia, either russia, if there is a correct policy, they will bring the money and they will bring in security because the metal prices are so high now that the margin that they can make is large enough to allow for the security. peter, how much control does china have over

a africa's rare earth marketed and pricing? to what extent is china stolen? a march on, on the u. s. is, is it trying to get a look in now at increasing its investment? it is. and right now, i don't think china has very much control over africa as reverse has oddly enough, and let's, let's get specific here. the rare earth elements, they're not copper, lithium, z, cobalt, rarest elements. they're 17 funny sounding names. and the reason china got such great control over them is through most of humanity. there were more rare earth than man knew what to do with. the u. s. was a much larger producer. up until the 1990s, the late ninety's then was china. but china needed rares. a boy put focus and money into it. and it was producing rivers much cheaper than

anybody else in the world could. so all the other production closed down and only china is producing then by the end of the 90s, the early millennium. now there's all a sudden with technology advanced like it is now the use for rare earth elements all civ, 17 of em. there's only a few 1000 tons a year that get produced. now that demand is large enough that china can start raising prices and they keep raising prices, raising prices in the world's happy to buy from china. china doesn't control africa's reverse. we've hardy found rarer in africa, and yet it's got some good deposits, especially south africa, and especially lowanda. and they're not chinese controlled yet. but as we saw in did bog we cimbawe is a rising star lithium. and it wasn't a chinese that found a lithium in zimbabwe. it, we saw a stallions and the chinese have now bought the 2 largest lithium deposits in the
