its capacitors, the inside does that, what we're seeing on daily basis for the, for the past 9 days mt mark, it's a completely depleted right now and whatever is available, it either is available at a very small amount or it's too expensive for people to afford, particularly when we talk about a 4 or more 15 months, people have not been on a proper pay of roles or paychecks because of the collapse of the public sectors and the private sectors as well. anybody mode reporting from garza city. thank you very much to you and your team, honey. was a mister avi, is live and don't say what are we expecting from the meeting? we mentioned just before talking to hobby on either negotiations or set to resume in doha, those in direct negotiations between israelis and thomas. so the 1st indication we have perhaps that those talks perhaps maybe underway or that there may be some momentum in terms of discussions, beginning in the early stages. the 1st bit of information we have about those talk

happening. and the actually comes from marco rubio, the us secretary of state, from re uh, the statements. he said that the primary us vehicle for hospice negotiations remains the special envoy to the middle east. steve wick off a bit of a defensive statement in response to criticism the trump white house has faced for not including israel and directly talking to a mosque with regards to negotiating a hostage really as now. this is something for which the white house has received a criticism from pro israel groups. israel hasn't criticize anyone directly, but they've made their feelings clear now. with marker romeo was saying in his statement, which i'll read to you what he said, that was a one off situation which are special language for hostages. whose job it is to get people released, had an opportunity to talk directly to someone. and he goes on to say that he took it and that that was the right thing to do. it has not borne fruit yet, but the us administration here making clear that it will not stop doing whatever it

thinks is the right steps to try. and it will talk to whomever at once. so at the beginning of the outside of these talks and go all ready, adjusting for position, all the elbows being thrown. this is going to be a difficult road ahead. but the secretary of state making a clear here that steve would cost been cut. there are 4 talks is going to be the one that leads the way in these negotiations moving forward to try to secure another phase and to cease fire a hi zane, this radi reporting from doha. thank you very much thing. and still ahead on elsa 0 . we find out what's behind donald trump terrace on america's biggest trading partner. also a dutch acetate says she is recovering well after our fall during the european indoor championships will have all the details later this hour. the

had a low, they will start in southern africa with tropical cycling. jude smashed into the noise of mozambique. we have the highest and that's out for exceptionally strong winds and heavy rain for we are expecting more of that in the days ahead, which could cause flash flooding and land slides because the remnants of that system as we can, we'll work their way into southern parts of malawi and on with susan bobby where risk of flooding remains. we could also see some flooding across southern pops of kenya. we've had some warnings out here for very heavy rain in the days, and we could see 20 millimeters full in the next 24 hours. now what we've got lots of active weather down in the south. it's quite up in the north except for the north westphal morocco. we got another weather system moving and cooling things down in rebecca, and bringing some very unsettled weather here and on woods to l. g area and to use the unsettled weather has been a story across the middle east and live on with thunder storms, a hail and lightning for places like guitar. we could still see some showers here

in the days they had some cloudy skies, but there was some improvement for much of the region by wouldn't stay, we are expecting temperatures to pick up, especially across and event 21 degrees in bay route. on wednesday, the francis in silver, many of its former african colonies, may be in decline, but the remains of hope that we cannot make a culture for a flurry of all that goes across. the french speaking africa is kind of paintings a change that just ears, investigative unit forensically uncovers, a murky world of faith journalists false accounts, and forced identities with links to state actors. with vested interests, africa's ghost reporters coming soon. just it's undisputed that 72 muslims were massacred in the village of indiana india in 1987 witnesses say the

perpetrators were a model of the locals along side the state governments provincial. i'm constabulary personnel. over 30 years later, a district court acquitted the accused to date, no one has been as accountable. people in power asks why the victims continue to be denied justice. india is forgotten, must occur on the jersey to or the one thing else, 0 reminder and or headlines. this, our a serious government has struck a deal to merge the kurdish lead, siri and democratic forces into state institutions. video comes after weeks of negotiations between damascus and as the leaders. the group controls the northern

part of syria, including key point producing regions. israel has cut off electricity to vital the selling nation plants in gaza that provides drinking water to half a 1000000 people in the central and southern areas. the facility in new darrow bottle is relying on generators and solar panels to function us sector of state, marco rubio has arrived in saudi arabia. thoughts with the training and officials earlier president followed him as a landscape also landed in jetta for a separate meeting with chrome friends, mohammed vincent, the us shares has tumbled the day after president trump did not rule out the possibility that his aggressive trade policies aimed at commercial economic partners could cause a recession this year. over the past few months, you may have heard this a lot terrace. that is essentially a tax on foreign made goods. us president donald trump has declared a power of 25 percent on goods from canada and mexico with some exemptions until next month. and he's doubled, levies on chinese,

in ports to 20 percent sparking retaliatory penalties or tariffs on american imports by badging about trumps terrace or familiar issue followed his 1st term in office. but this time there on a much larger scale. so this graph here starts in the year 2000, you see it's pretty flat and then there's this little bump here which is trumps 1st term. and then it goes sharply up to a rate of more than 9 percent this year. one of the reasons trump gave when he declared a trade war with america's biggest trading partners is this of fentanyl dealers who are sending vento. there's no, we have to stop fentenol from coming in manufacturing, fentenol and china and selling it to the united states. but you sell fentanyl into the united states to mexico. we're putting a of 25 percent or so tear of living with millions of people do that. that comes mostly from china, but it comes through mexico when it comes to canada. so trump says he's imposing

terrace because countries are smuggling central into the us. so what is sent to know? it's a synthetic up your made in labs with chemicals used in legal drugs. in fact, us regulators approve it as a pain reliever in the 19 sixty's for medical settings. fentanyl alone is considered about 50 times, stronger than harris, and a 100 times stronger than more feet in the us. more than 70000 people died from drug overdose. it's a problem, it's an epidemic. last year, 46 pounds of fentanyl were seized from america's northern border with canada. that is less than one percent of the total supply offense and it will, coming into the united states. the problem is much bigger at the southern border with $21000.00 pounds were seized under president claudia shine bout. there has been a crack down on the trade. and the amount of fentanyl seized by the us has actually dropped by roughly 20 percent last year. what about china? well, china is where most of the chemicals used to make sense and it will come from and

it has impose new regulations and controls on its production, sale and exports. michael vigil is formed chief of international operations for the d. e a. the drug enforcement administration in the us, you join us from albuquerque. you're, i mean you worked under cover, you're basically a legend in the counter narcotics space. i would ask you a very simple question because donald trump wants to punish canada and mexico and the chinese for bringing and send to know who actually brings in defense and the into the us. it is primarily brought into the united states by american citizens. use a legitimate ports of entry along the mexican border, and then is distributed here in this country, primarily by american citizens. so our terrorists then a good tool to fight fentanyl smuggling, in your professional opinion. absolutely not because as you indicated,

parents are taxes, unimportant guards and president from really doesn't understand sound fair of work. you you, we have us base companies, for example, the white gloves in mexico. and if you have parents info, so i mexico or chatter the for that matter. then the u. s. companies that buying products in these countries, well, pay for the terrorists. and then they'll pass that costs on to the consumers here in the united states. so it's a ridiculous tactic to start a train war to try to control the smuggling of fentanyl. and donald trump doesn't mention anything about controlling the weapons that pull from

the united states in to mexico in many parts of latin america. and the question is, why are you why me that card pals that you're supposed to be fine? he doesn't mention anything about reducing the consumption or that the man. and if there is no the ma'am, there is no products more grain year. so you really doesn't understand the complexity of this problem and he wants to act as a strong man, very much like an impulse. these things that are kind of serve no purpose. you know, if you're going to attack this problem, instead of carrying the outlines like canada, like mexico over the head with a switch them, or you have to build bridges, you have to build, you know, uh, uh, cooperation and then what the costs for a 2nd. if you don't mind,

i'd like to jump in because mexico in canada both took the trunk seriously. when he said you have to crack down on sentinel smuggling and they both took action. mexico sent $10000.00 soldiers at the us mexico border to inspect more cars inspect, more trucks going into the us in canada, spent $1300000000.00 with more helicopters and his guy as they tell it, and more boots on the ground and a joint task force with the us, are those things good tools to crack down on fentanyl smuggling? absolutely not, because again, most of the drives come in sort of the legitimate ports of entry. so you need more man power there. and more technologies to scan, tribes, vehicles and what have you, putting mexico, putting 10000 soldiers along the water is having no way in that channel. mine doesn't produce that much for that. been all and we're going along with the program trying to appease trauma and my job gears imposed on them. now trump,

them bows. there's 25 percent on canada and mexico, but they were only plays for about a day. and then the stock market started to drop and therefore he removed them. but he says that he's going to re evaluate the situation by one bank pro. well, you know, a time you allow, of threats is very confusing. and it's not going to have any positive consequence. so michael vigil, former chief of the international operations for the d. e. a. thank you very much for joining us on the else. is there a news? all right, thank you, sir. as a chinese terrace on a range of us products took effect on monday. libby's of up to 15 percent on some american agricultural products were imposed after us present a donald trump imposed a 20 percent tax. as we mentioned earlier on all chinese imports,

paging is latest export figures suggest the parents are already having an impact. tony chang reports from china's manufacturing heartland. georgiana sparks flying a factory floor in easton, china, of the production line, making excise treadmills is in full flow. a 3rd of its output go straight to the us market, about a $150000.00 units a year. and despite the new terrace or does have the truck. so woman doesn't need to take needs and the entire supply chain or the product like the ones we produce. and we have some technical requirements for the time being no other country region can replace product lady in china. but the latest expos tickets show decline. part of that is due to the long chinese new year holiday. but tariffs are an increasing concern to the government despite its defiant statements at the national people's congress this week. yeah, for you know,

country you should expect to suppress and contain china on one end. while maintaining good relations with china on the other, the small commodities market and what is the largest of its kind in the world? probably point 5000000 square meters of market space. did $70000000000.00 worth of business last year. now the trade isn't worth to you, then. thank you. i'm concerned about the tower because america is still the largest consumer market for our policy celebration products this year. cynthia shows on the additional tariffs will increase the price of goods for customers, which will make it difficult for us to explore some more goods abroad. in china still has one big advantage. many of these products a significantly cheaper and the competition manufactured elsewhere, even with the extra cost. and the old is still flooding in tariff contain is here still filling up with goods. a lot of what about the united states?

the manufacturers in china say these kinds of things just don't find in the us need . and if you could find a copy paste on price with the trump administration. suddenly pausing tariffs on mexico and canada, who knows what the policy will be and the shipment arrives. tony chang al jazeera jim eastern china in the democratic republic of congo, lawanda back to m 23 rebels, or nearing some of the world's most highly prized minimal mines. the group captured more territory over night, as it moves closer to the strategic town of wiley collie. is the last the last major mining area held by government forces in north keeping the province and m. 20 three's campaign for mineral control. the group captured goma, me provincial capital of north cable and will cover with the main city and south keeping province. both of them, minimal, rich locations. hundreds of people have fled, the village of nearby under which the rebels have also seized him. 20 resources

have said that their objective is to take control of what they call the ddr sees army is preparing to block. the advance mines in eastern congo contain globally significant amounts of a mineral cold colton. and the 3 tease, 10, tungsten, and 10000 of these mid rolls are all crucial for the manufacturing of consumer electronics. like cellphones and laptops. the threat of losing control of the countries mines is financially and economically existential. for the congolese government, the mines are supported or partly owned by the government. so if last it's tax revenues will be cut by millions. am $23.00 is already advancing towards the town of watercolour, the town home to the largest 10 deposits in the country. let's talk to christopher vogel about this. you're a researcher christoph, you're the author of conflict minerals, and can you just return from the region? you're joining us from brussels. we're came to get your perspective because you look at this a little differently. and you have written that understanding this conflict or

explaining this conflict as purely a minerals grab by m 23 or blood minerals. if you will. is misguided. explain. so yes indeed. so there is one major misconception that has been framing conflict in congo for, for over 20 years now. which is that i'm the assumption that it is mainly driven by the, the greed or the last for the, for me, no resources. so the reason why this is misleading is that obviously we, we are in a situation as another conflict in the world where, um, you cannot make it factors do play a role. but if you look little bit more closely, um we do see that the sort of historical root cause us are unrelated to um, to minerals with small. so we're talking here about, i'm deep geo political tensions, historically grown. um conflict, a nomics where minerals um, just as all the resources are coming in,

obviously as the belligerents, whether it's governments, whether it's reveled groups needs to, um to, um, sort of back up the war effort. and so many roles do play a role, but they are not as uh, often describes a key root cause or driver of the conflicts that have been going on since the ninety's. okay, so as our viewers try to wrap their heads around what's happening in eastern d, r c, and more importantly, why it's happening? what would you say are the main drivers then behind this concept if it's not the minutes? so the, the current crisis um, of the current cycle of the, of the, of the conflict um has to do with the return onto the battlefield. lates 2021 of uh, anom, drew called the march entry, treat movement, which is a group that has a long history that, um, that dates back to, um, the rebellion that brought the long distance to let you know these are,

it could be that you power in, in 97. and, and ever since that has been a sort of a, um, a cycle of international interventions of different piece agreements in which grievances and issues brought by um, by those rebel groups. but also many other stakeholders have been brought to the table and those include um, economic um aspects as well. but they do include, 1st and foremost, um, political grievances about citizenship about um, about all the resources such as land um and um and sort of broader unfold lines um that i'm bringing like congress in different neighboring countries. and that has led to a ways of ami integration or former revel groups of operations against other on group such as the remnants of the genocide of forces that commit to the genocide against the to see in in 1994. and none of these, none of these agreements has been, has been holding up and,

and that's been bringing back i'm, i'm sort of existing on groups and new shapes back to the 4. and that is pretty much a situation that we've been seeing um in the last uh, 3 uh, 3 or 4 years now. um, which has the culminated in, in the entry 3, i'm taking control of different parts of eastern congo crystal photo author of conflict minerals inc. thank you very much for joining us. thank you. as a collision between a cargo ship and a chemical tank or has triggered a major rescue operation and fears of an environmental disaster, it happened in the north sea off england's north east coast. the city of hole is the largest nearby population center. us shipping from crowley says its tank or a spilling jet fuel and all its crew have a band and ship after multiple explosions. initial reports suggest more than 30 people have been brought to shore. alright, it's time for your support news with far as male who has joined us in the studio.

finished it. and it called, it looks unusually feasible. we are very experienced and i think we showed that also last year to, you know, one moment that was a bit tougher for us. we were still maximizing our results. and that's, i think the big strength of the team extracts the most out of the call. did become appropriate last week, so what we're hoping for with i'll be 21 is that we have a much wider operating window that the, the cars are the more predictable and slightly easier to work with. so, so it will say you will get an indication, and these are the races. 18 year old kimmie and finale has been tasked with replacing louis hamilton at mas eighties bites. how you, in one of 6 rookies the most to move into decades. that will be making the 1st f one starts in melvin on the richardson l g 0. that job fleet mooring cost or say she's recovering well after hor, fall at the european indoor championships costs or was knocked unconscious during the st files and meet her fun home which was taking place in our home country which
