12:05 pm
early. so politically talk and also had a student waiting for the, for the position of the african union and the international community because, you know, so dance membership in the african union has been suspended because of the military rule. but they were talks to, to give the sanction from sudan after that when the 1st november even, but now after the, the, the, the, the, that is it nation of it looks that so that now is fully in the hands of the military. and that means that is, and the full military rule in this is, may, may, may mean of the big sit back for the region as well as for the do you have an international communities tell us about it? why did the prime minister choose to resign? now what could happen next?
12:06 pm
it's, it's a, as a prime minister has exhibit is super frustration actually a few days ago and minute of course said in the past days that he was intended to resign the mass as there are a lot of reasons actually. but the most violence used again is the british in the, in the past few days by the military and security organs. maybe the main reason for him to resign because he agreed with the military to grab the freedom of expression, freedom of assembly in freedom of protesting as well as going back to the constitution calibration, among other conditions of his, of his acceptance to do that the, the army, but all that has will be made actually by the, by the military and security orders by his partners. so this is why i'm talking so
12:07 pm
it's very, very clearly in his as it is yesterday, that this model of the partnership between the civilians and military components in sudan has failed to keep any progress with transformation and the main cause of the transition. so they are part of this that even on the ground today are quoting for a new man, much administration, the company to actually to, to base their anger about the killing of this. it is they, as you may know that the but it just as i've been in the system, they sort of this, this tension between the military and civilian will continue. and that's as the by mistake. so say that me down to slide into modeling development. and i mean, in cartoon with the latest, thank you very much for the update to hong kong now wherein you've legislature has
12:08 pm
been sworn in it's 90 members of the 1st chosen, under new rules, that excluded any one deemed disloyal to china's communist rulers or but 20 were appointed, the ceremony was overseen by hong kong chief executive carry lamb, who now faces no opposition, as beijing clamps down on descent pro democracy activists and lawmakers of fled or being jailed. and a major use website now says it is closing the founder of citizen use that it's journalists were no longer safe to work. days ago, a rival out that was shut down and its staff arrested on charges of sedition label . but one of home homes you go make assigned a statement welcoming those arrests. well, let's talk about that without correspond. fee cong, citizen used to claim it could no longer report without fear. what does the news media have to fear?
12:09 pm
what top edit has off citizens do today, they towed the press that explicitly that the closure of citizen the use was on the decision was checked out by the closure of another pro democracy news outlet to stand news or just a few days ago after police rated the newsroom on the center of deployed over $200.00 offices to search the homes of the, of the editors at the found out the top management. and also the, the editorial office and the police also the frozen sets they were made in hong kong dollars of stan news and prosecuted the top editors for publishing seditious publications. so that particular case has triggered our wiring ging arm chair. in fact, in the hong kong, a journalistic industry including citizens news. so that's why they decided to are closed the media outlets before they were exposed to a further risk under the national security di and also added fences. our wish was low and that term during the colonial you are,
12:10 pm
but now being we used by the authorities to target politico, the sense that this is the main fear of our citizens news and they have set that them up. even the top editors were on very fats. her own journalist will have to work in the industry for decades. they can't insure the safety of the stop. so that's why they have to make this decision. so phoebe, what been is the state of free, independent reporting in hong kong following disclosure. o. s. as in news established in just a 2017, it was an independent news outlet, and mainly i financed by us attractions fees up to be that it was, are independently around like it without a pressure from the business people or political pressure. so citizens, they and also stan news which was shut down earlier last week. and both of them have gained huge popularity in hong kong, even though they're just
12:11 pm
a very young media outlets in hong kong with just a few years history. but they're really popular. have a large reader base with millions of business and hawkeye, especially those are pro democracy supporters. so this is indeed a really huge blow to do. our journalist industry that to independent media outlets have to close themselves out like, oh, so after the prayer, the under the pressure of the authorities and the new legislation and hey, have to adjust when a new normal in hong kong that the media environment and the freedoms australia king as sat by the editors and the management of the 2 news outlet. and so just only within 6 months, apple daddy and the 2 online me, they have shut down. so now what we can say they are most of the influential independent media outlets have shut down with only a few remaining outlet still running. so this is
12:12 pm

12:16 pm
he had no choice or mccombs prescribed on the coroner's spreading, even faster than we feared. and so we need to intervene now to prevent a much worse outcome. to assoc precaution are for zora. but the measures have also outraged the vocal anti lockdown protesters. and as long as the government measures are in force, they say they will continue to take to the streets. india has begun vaccinating children aged 15 and above, against covered as fee as grow, that the only con variant is causing and usage and infections. the new year might have started with celebrations, but there are worries. the highly contagious new strength spreading rapidly. india reported nearly 34000 new cases on monday with melinda, 1700 confirmed as only gone. these are the highest daily numbers since october, and maria cima joins us now from delhi. she's our bureau chief, them read it,
12:17 pm
run us through the numbers, because some experts say only con could make up a much higher proportion of these new infections. that's right, ben, gun, 34000 new cases. doesn't sound like much for a country of india's size, but this is the sharpest serge in india. since the pandemic began the sharpest weekly serge. now off these cases, we don't know how many of them are on the crime. what we do know that there 1700 confirmed on the chron cases in the country at the moment, but people feel that the actual lambert might, may be much higher. one estimate says den times higher. the problem really is the genome sequencing, which is slow to determine what variant this is. but one thing seems very clear given the speed with which this virus is ela spreading and the infections are spreading and the pattern that we are seeing in other countries. it's very likely that army crime will become the dominant virus in india very soon. will that said,
12:18 pm
how prepared would you say india or is for this next wave and reba? well, i think lessons have been learned from the last year's deadly 2nd wave which brought cities like india to its knees. the parties have been vase swift and may strict in implementing restrictions across most parts of the country. you will have schools, colleges, restaurants, jim's cinemas closed in most parts of the country, visit garfield in place from 10 at night till 5 in the morning in many of the larger cities transport is only operating at 50 percent capacity. so people are taking measures, but some lessons have not been learned to bend. for example, you saw new york parties were allowed in sit in places like go out, which is a big tourist destination. there's been a huge spike there now as a result. and then there are some regional elections coming up in the next couple of months. and politicians high ranking politicians are up in about holding large rallies with no semblance or social distancing. and very few people reading math.
12:19 pm
