1:04 pm
21st november the that he made the army. and now he like take off a condition that he gave to the for the military early. so politically talking also we're still waiting for the 4th of the position of the african union and the international community because, you know, to dance membership in the african union has been suspended because of the military rule. but they were talks to, to lift the sanctions from sudan after the 21st november even. but now after the, the, the, the, the, the resignation of handled it looks that so that now is fully in the hands of the military. and that's mean, so that is, and the for military ruling and this is, may, may, may mean of big sit back for that with,
1:05 pm
as well as for the do you have an international communities tell us about how to, why did the prime minister choose to resign now, what could happen next? it's, it's a, as a prime minister has exhibit his super frustration actually a few days ago and many reports in the past days that he was intended to resign the mass as there are a lot of reasons actually. but the most violence use, 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 collaboration among other conditions of his, of his acceptance to do that deal with me,
1:06 pm
but all that has will be made actually buy but by the military and security orders by his partners. so this is why i'm talking so it's very, very clearly in his address yesterday that this model of the partnership between some of the civilians and military components in sudan has failed to achieve any progress with transformation and the main cause of the transition. so they protested, even on the ground today are quoting for a new month, march administration, and a couple to actually to, to base your angles about the killing of just a, this is the, as you may know the but it just as have been killed in the process of day, so this, this tension between the military and civilian will continue and administer him. so
1:07 pm
say that me to them to slide into mind development. and i mean, in cartoon with the latest. thank you very much for the update in hong kong, a new legislature has been sworn in it's 90 members of the 1st chosen under new rules that excluded anyone deemed this loyal to china's communist rule. as or 20 were appointed ceremony was overseen by hong kong chief executive carry lamb, who now faces no opposition, as begging clamps down on descent. pro democracy activists lawmakers have fled or been jailed, and a major use website now says it's closing the founder of citizen. you said it's journalists were no longer safe to work. days ago, a rival out that was shut down and it's stuff arrested on charges of sedition or but one of hong kong new law makers signed a statement welcoming those arrests. well, let's talk about that without correspond. fee cong, citizen used to create a could no longer report without fear. what does the news media have to fear?
1:08 pm
but a top editors of citizens do use today. they've told 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 stand news. 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 they are 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 clinic, in fact, in the hong kong, a journalistic industry including citizens news. so that's why they decided to are close to media outlets before they you are exposed to
1:09 pm
a further risk under the national security di and also adul fences. our wish was let and net turn during the colonial you are, but now being reduced by the authorities to target politico. the sense that this is the main fear of our citizens news and they have set that down. even the top editors were on very fat, thrown journalist will have to work in the industry for decades. they can't insure the safety of their staff, so that's why they have to make this decision. so phoebe, what ben is the state of free, independent reporting in hong kong following disclosure. o. s. as in news at sampling, in just a 2017, it was an independent news outlet, mainly i financed by us attractions fees up to be that it was independently around light without a pressure from the business people or political pressure. so citizens,
1:10 pm
they and also stan news which was shut down earlier last week on both of them have gained huge popularity in hong kong, even though they're just a very young media outlets in hong kong with just a few years history. but they are really popular. have a large reader base of millions of business in 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 are strained king as sat by the editors and the management often to news outlet. and so just only within 6 months, apple daddy and the 2 online me, they have shut down. so now we can say they are,
1:11 pm
most of the influential independent media outlets have shut down with only a feel remaining outlet still running. so this is a really light, a fact the the future of home. i also the feature of i'm how jealous can work on the ground. leslie phoebe, i mentioned the swearing into the new deputies of the legislative council. the election in december was controversial. the candidates were tested for their political loyalty to china. what course will the legislative body now take? oh, this is so today is the 1st day when the lawmakers to night he not lawmakers met in the parliament. and indeed we are. we, we have seen a kind of harmony within this among themselves because um, 89 of them are pro beijing figures with only one of the law make has claimed himself as non co establishment. i'm so this is
1:12 pm
a result at the lake in this kind of situation because i'm a new a veteran mechanics and was introduced to the electro system and a leading to the absence to our of the major opposition came. so are we no longer c and the opposition lawmaker inside parliament and out of the, the lawmakers, the probation law makers have already stressed that they will cooperate with the authorities in terms of a many issues, including the enactment of offered a national security related offences and a left to station, so this is some of their genders that we are expecting that will further affect. they're whole political landscape in hong kong, dw, corresponding, phoebe com. thank you. let's get you up to date on some of the other stories making use around the world. brazilian media say president valuable sonata has been rushed to hospital for treatment of a suspected intestinal obstruction. the 66 year old was also hospitalized last july,
1:13 pm
with similar problems resulting from a 2018 night attack and left him with step wounds to his abdomen. in a call with ukraine's president vladimir lensky, you as president joe biden said, the united states and its allies will respond decisively if russia further invades ukraine biden is also backing diplomatic efforts to result. the stand of talks between you west and russian officials are scheduled in geneva later this month balances again, broken out during protests against corona virus restrictions in the netherlands. thousands turned out in amsterdam to demonstrate against the national lockdown imposed a week before christmas. some 30 people were arrested they say no to the lockdown, no to the government's measures. what is their limit? this demonstrator asks, it's just the latest demonstration in the netherlands against the government's curves, aimed at stopping omicron police band. the protest that didn't stop people from
1:14 pm
turning out, many say they're not afraid of catching the virus. i'm here because i like to live and i don't think we should be scared. a stop we're living because we're we're all going to die. i like to live. i've been my restriction measures have nothing to do with my health. i mean there are people who want to impose control on us and take all our freedoms. i'm here because i think that we all must be free. oh, what i most i scuffles broke out as police broke up the demonstration. it violated the current locked on rules in the netherlands, according to which only 2 people are allowed to meet at once. non essential shops, restaurants, bars and theaters remain closed until at least the 14th of january, announcing the measures to prime minister, made clear he had no choice. only combs describe on the corner spreading even
1:15 pm
faster than we feared. and so we need to intervene now to prevent a much worse outcome, to assoc precaution. are for sure. 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 teenagers aged 15 and above against covered as fears. grow that the on the corner variant is causing a new surgeon infections. the new year might have started with celebrations, but there are worries. the highly contagious new strain is spreading rapidly. india reported nearly 34000 new cases on monday, with more than 1700 confirmed is only grown. these are the highest daily numbers since october and really cima joins us now from delhi. she's our bureau chief, stan rita, run us through the numbers because some experts say only con,
1:16 pm
could make up a much higher proportion of these new infections. that's right, been gone. 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 each on what we do know that they're $1700.00 confirmed on the chron cases in the country at the moment. but people feel that the actual lumber much maybe much higher. one estimate says, 10 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 spreading and the infections are spreading in the pattern that we are seeing in other countries. it's very likely that on the crown would become the dominant virus in india of a cylinder. well that said, how prepared would you say india or is for this next way?
1:17 pm
them really 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 had been base 15 base tricked in implementing restrictions across most parts of the country. you will have schools, colleges, restaurant, gym cinemas, close in most parts of the country, visit garfield in place from 10 at night till 5 in the morning. in many of the large cities transport is only operating at 50 percent capacity. so people are taking measures, but fun lessons have not been learned to been. for example, you saw new york parties were allowed in sit in places language, 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. i
1:18 pm
think the only thing worth celebrating at the moment it would be a country's vaccination drive. that is, if it's successful or not, what, what would you say, how, how far is the government coming with its vaccination drug wait, as of today, a ben teenagers between the ages of $15.18. and is your bill for vaccination? there hasn't been such a enthusiastic response so far, but the government is the hopefully this will pick up. and as of next week, people over the age of 60 with health issues will be allowed a 3rd booster shot in total in india. at the moment, 90 percent of the people adults have had their 1st hills and about 65 percent have had the 2nd doors and the government is putting a lot of focus on vaccination in dealing with this pandemic. and especially on the chron spreads the way it is, there is the belief that it will, if people are vaccinated, their results will not be as severe. exactly that. so that's the biggest thing to,
1:19 pm
to ensure that our people don't get as sick as, as they could. and we to chima with the latest from daily, thank you very much. in other news, at least one person has been killed in indonesia. as heavy flooding hits the north of samantha island, thousands of others have been forced to flee their homes. forecasts expect the severe rain and thunderstorms to continue overnight. canyon patio anthropologist rigid leaky, has died at the age of 77. is work helped underpin the theory that human evolution began in africa. leaky famously laid campaigns to destroy tons of elephant ivory in efforts to stop wildlife. poaching turkey's annual inflation rate jump to more than 36 percent in december at the highest level in almost 2 decades. the value of the turkish lira is lumped to record lows, forcing retailers to high prices, shop like the currency as a result of the series of central bank rate cuts through by president rich. apply
1:20 pm
a bad one. let's get more on this from rob wants from the don't you business, rob, just how severe is the problem in turkey? considering that there are inflation worries at the moment all around the world because of cobra. but how much more of a worry is it in turkey? right, well it turns out it's an even bigger worry than anyone had thought. no. was expecting certainly analysts, when a figure of 36 percent they conversed around sort of 27 percent. they weren't expecting it to cross that 30 mark. these are the, the worst figures in regina type ada one's time in power. so it's, it's, it's a really serious situation and the key driver behind it is the problems that turkeys having with its currency. the turkish layer, which is lost almost half of its value during the course of the year 2021. it started the year. it's 7th, the us dollar. it's now around about 14 o one point during last month. it hit 16, the us dollar. and you know, when you got a week current, see what that means is expensive. imports and expensive imports more costs. tina
1:21 pm
suppliers means a price hikes get passed on to consumers. that means their food get more expensive and that's something that took. so really saying, so what's being done to get things under control because sounds like it's quite counterproductive. what is there to one is doing yes. that is the strange situation that turkey finds itself in, which is that the president has an economic policy that he thinks is going to bring about a new lease on life for the turkish economy. but it would appear to be actually this policy is the cause of most of turkey's problems. so what he believes is that high interest rates cause in place which is against the received wisdom. so he's been pushing for lower interest rates and he's been stacking central bank governors who disagree with him on that. he sat 3 central back over this since 2019 other. as
1:22 pm
i say, the receive wisdom is that actually what you want to do is you want to raise interest rates. and as a result of that, what you do is you get people to save a bit more and spending less than that stops prices rising, but no budget type had one doesn't subscribe to that. and he says his big economic plan, what he calls his economic war of independence, is eventually going to bear fruit and the turks need to be a bit more patient with it. okay, well well turks have to hold out. you mentioned this savings, what, what's happening to their savings of them and what it, what are they doing to ensure that the savings don't disappear? well, yeah, this is the problem because their savings are becoming worth less and less and less . so what can you do in that situation? if you got a problem with your currency? well, you can start getting hold of other currency and using that instead. but that's not really an option for a lot of turkish people. another thing you can do is you can invest in safe haven assets, things like gold. and that is something that we are seeing gold merchants in turkey saying they having to sell in ever smaller denominations of
1:23 pm
a smaller pieces of gold. because so many people want to buy them because the price doesn't fluctuate too much, and those are the sorts things that took. so having to resort how times right now rewards. thank you very much for fill is filling is in in recent years, the fight against global terrorism has shifted increasingly to the sa hell region of africa. mauritania authorities, a tapping a traditional mode of transportation as part of their anti terrorism efforts. with help from the european union, they've resurrected a 100 year old and medic police force known as the chemical this is the latest approach in the fight against jihad is terrorists in mauritania. a traditional solution to a modern problem. the mahari national guard or a police unit recruited from local nomads, their camels are their most important tool. they're the best way to get around the vast border region between mauritania and molly. g. hottest groups linked to al

1:25 pm
communicate that to the central government and new act shorts. a thought that are on opposite of the camel core are partly funded by money from the european union. it's an international attempt to improve security here and in the larger region known as the sa, held. it's counter terrorism that starts at a local level. got the lizzie timmy had he stood rec, now how did units gather intelligence, lum in us? they spoke the threats and been anti terrorism units that get involved and take care of those threats on don't don't sit than us. their job is to also deepen trust with people, people they know from their own communities. they help them by providing health care to send them the sequence of to this woman say that she hasn't heard a go nausea and general fatigue. that's why i gave her some albin designs because
1:26 pm
she could have a parasite desert. so see on the pot as he thought. this approach combining local knowledge with traditional connections and offering help as well as asking for information. it's proving popular. a few 100 new mahari police are already operational and authority, say they plan to recruit $200.00 more. i'm good on their feet as well as on the camels. you're watching. the daily news is a reminder of the top story with falling for $0.02 by minister has resigned following months of political turmoil. adela hm. doug said it was not possible for him to restore order under a power sharing agreement with the army, dozens of protest as have been killed since a qu in the north african nation last october. for me and the team here at d. w eco. india is up next with look at how one entrepreneurs turning a common drop into
