12:03 pm
said sudan with not be abandoned alone. let me be clear. united nations is not leaving. sue, then our commitment is to the sudanese people in support of their wishes for a peaceful and secure future. we spent with them at this terrible time and it's not just foreigners fleeing the country. tens of thousands of sudanese across the borders into neighboring countries. a great fear, a refugee crisis, would put further strain and already stretched humanitarian supplies. and for those remaining and sudan, they can only hope that this time the ceasefire lasts not, not yet as a journalist, his following the developments in see don from cairo high than that. now previous the slides have failed, but this one does seem to be holding for now, can you tell us what's different this time around?
12:04 pm
i think there's 2 things that are, you know, so a bit different. i think there was a bit of success that was built on least from the back to ation. some foreigners that needed some of the law in the previous from the previous, you know, cease fire that was eventually violated. and they're building off of the still corners in the country. it seems that you know, it's wrapping up a western pressure, the west pressure in particular. nevertheless, it is a better sign, a good sign. but there is a cease fire. it's just the parties do have somewhat control that forces for now and that this is possible. next step is to ramp up humanitarian operations immediately. well, there's a window to do so, and do you think that this cease fire will make a difference and will people use it to, to leave? i mean, also how dangerous is it right now trying to get out of the country? yeah, people are going to use this opportunity to leave. i think they're also going to i
12:05 pm
think they were also trying to lead because they didn't see an opportunity just 2448 hours ago to do so. so i absolutely people that are trying to get out, and i think that shows just the lack of faith for how much this is barbara old moving forward in terms of the danger is incredibly dangerous. we're hearing reports, you know, particularly crowded on the northern egypt, while women and the elderly and children can get into egypt without usa and austin you too bye for one of the conflict of this. you know, in the city or what i thought i was there as a result of that as a result of that issue to build up the border. huge military concerns. it's really the. ready thing i wanted to ask you about the lack of internet connectivity in the country. apparently it's around 2 percent of the normal level. why is this?
12:06 pm
and more importantly, how are people getting any information if they can't get it through the internet? yeah, you're right. i think the result of that was to do the war to and damaged that the towers. internet providers accordingly was actually compromised in terms of how people are getting information. i think there can, you know, there's, there's not a way to compensate or, you know, networks that are built online or to help people navigate. that said there are in network. so people are going to rely on word of mouth and rely on these informal networks among the communities and their fear of things from, you know, procure, movie members about where say, what makes, what makes sense, which rows travel on and where conflict is and you get a time you know, on the road to try to get out of the country. so that seems to be what people have
12:07 pm
no choice but to rely on and that's proven effective, but still by compromising that there's no not in kyra, thank you so much for your time. we appreciate it. thank you. as well. thanks for embarrassed historian, the german defense minister explained how a coordinated operation allowed the evacuations of hundreds of civilians from the conflict zones in sit on bags and eggs after long mid to at least part in close coordination with quite a few partners. the u. s. all great britain's are france and also i want to say clearly with sudanese president lauren and his chief of general staff and with our new inspector general broiled within establish contact on saturday and got the final go ahead for the restriction free use of the airport flyer that was important, although not sufficient on its own, for the security measures were necessary. but that was basically the game changer in the situation as it was sean, the chairman defense minister, paris historic,
12:08 pm
which i know by mackie moore, his d w as political correspondent, matthew, can you give us the latest on the german evacuations from saddam morning on the part of that game changer allowed us to confirm this morning. the flight has landed in jordan from north of beast, north of cartoon to cough overnight in london this morning. and that brings the total number of people evacuated by the german army to almost $500.00. among them diplomat business people, aid workers and families, also a huge number of non germans from our own. more than 30 countries, and officials in berlin are keen to use this extended ceasefire to continue flying their own citizens and those of allies out germany is no. coordinating the international evacuation efforts focused around that small layer based north of the capital. and it's around the clock operation, basically involving around a 1000 or more boost their soldiers paratroopers or on the grown providing security
12:09 pm
. and what is an extremely tens and precarious situation which officials in european no that could change at any moment. watering efforts to rescue their citizens and others, and it's not just flight on, you know, we also know and can see that the german navy vessel, german navy vessels on course for port sudan and the red sea to deal with a humanitarian situation which is developing. they are on the course and hundreds of people have made that long and dangerous journey overland, and hopefully can leave by ship. so more to come, certainly in the next 2 hours and days. thanks so much. that's nothing more d, w political correspondent. okay, let's take a look now, some of the other stories making news around the world. israel is marking it's memorial day to on a fallen soldiers and victims of millison to tax. the event began monday evening and it comes ahead of independence day celebrations from tuesday evening, which mark the countries 75th anniversary of this year's events come against the
12:10 pm
backdrop, a deep political divisions and the surge and violence between israelis and palestinians . thousands of indigenous brazilians have taken to the streets of the capital priscilla to demand the protection of their land and their traditions. the march as part of the annual free land camp event. the demonstrators march to the national congress to call for action against the invasion of their territories by illegal loggers and fishes. a mob in haiti's capital has beaten and burned to death. 13 suspected gang members. public anger is high in response to the gang driven long looseness that has taken over 40 pass. the un is warning that insecurity in the city has reached level similar to countries at war. views the canyon president william brutal says that dozens of death by starvation in a religious cult are akin to terrorism. the speech came as more bodies were it
12:11 pm
zoomed on monday, bringing the death toll so far to $73.00. the pastor has been arrested on suspicion of telling his followers to fast to death in order to meet jesus romero. all right, we have some breaking news coming in for you. joe. abide and says that he will run for a 2nd term as us president a campaign video posted online just a few moments ago. formally announced biden's 2020 for reelection bed. a biden is already the oldest u. s. president. he would be 86 years old at the end of a 2nd term. now every year, malaria kills more than $600000.00 people. and most of those are children. that's according to the world health organization. but just as the w h o is marking world
12:12 pm
malaria day, a new vaccine is raising hopes. the dean, the disease could one day be fully eradicated and only half the wells population is at risk of contracting malaria. but 96 percent of malaria deaths occur in sub saharan africa. the new are 21 vaccine produced by oxford university and the u. k. is still in the final stage of trials. but ghana and nigeria have already given it provisional approval. it joins an existing vaccine that has helped save lives, but trials suggests that this new vaccine is way more effective. t w's isaac colored z reports now from ghana. ah kit do 2 more has brought his son to this hospital to get his mixed juice of an unseemly refaxing kit is happy, his son has access to this protection was good. some benito was is more order
12:13 pm
theme of it was of the best buy you would have us me very good. well, i mean, who started the vessel and if they would for they told me, it's so damned to prevent them from getting believe it is one of the lucky keats gets in the r t. s is vaccine, which was approved by the wood hook in a zation. oh, it's available for children in over 90 communities, following a successful pilot projects in 2019, ever. who stuck on you the law through long ago and too big we, we all had here's when it comes to the left. and this is one of them. i encourage every mother to come there laughing c exports hoping luxury you. oh, this is an additional to come and help us human either to the 10 immunity. again, ghana has sticking eluding rule in the fight against malaria. in addition to our
12:14 pm
t. s. s. the food in drugs authority recently also approved. then you are to, into one oxford vaccine become in the 1st in africa to do so. the vaccine is still in trio. so canyons will have to wait before the con, benefits from its expected high rates of protection. health octave is see despite these new tools, the roots of the problem lay stagnant water, where malaria, barry mosquitoes breed also neat, tuck lynn. we have iris that is indoor richard raspberry. and before we have idea that is a burden. it must be to bedmate. so we cannot use only one method to say that we are advocating air or malarial mosquitoes. but we need to a harmonize the whole air videos to was i,
12:15 pm
we have this year the world health organization is he in achieving these these spirits in ghana already seen the benefits become bring in protecting the lives of their children. and the more we can speak to bart canals, he's a vector biologist, an ortho, and his research focuses on mosquitoes and the diseases they transmit. and he's joining us today from bali, indonesia. welcome to the w, but i know that you lived and worked in east and southern africa for 11 years. could you put the, quite frankly, shocking number of deaths from malaria in that region into perspective for us? what did you experience during your time there? oh it's it's, it's absolutely tragic. i mean there's, there's no 2 ways about i think the world the world has experienced colbert. so we've learned a lesson. but that lesson has been there always in sub saharan africa. when we talk about mary, i mean the impact of that disease alone has been devastating,
12:16 pm
has really stopped the continent from progressing significantly. and i think with the new tool that we're getting, including the new vaccines that are there, i hope of finally, this is going to change and that the, the content is going to pick up with the rest of the world. eve made very clear that the disease doesn't only affect individuals affect society, the development of the whole country. so. so is your feeling about this new vaccine that it, it could be truly transformative. there is, there is so much bad news these days. and fortunately, this is indeed very good news for the law are 7 years we've pretty much been stagnant. we've not made any significant more gains in terms of reducing the number of cases than the number of deaths due to malaria. but with these new vaccines, the artist asked vaccine that was just mentioned, but particularly the r 21 vaccine, which indeed is a lot more effective use
12:17 pm
a lot more protection to the children that get these action. there is real hope that we can significantly start reducing the number of deaths due to disease. and once you start doing that, once you get a healthier society, you go to experience that instantly families are going to reduce in size. you're gonna get fewer children, families, if you are children or they're gonna get better education, very, she means better work as means better income. so the whole society is going to transform. once you introduce a vaccine against malaria that is truly affected. i didn't want to ask you, obviously a variety of factors lead to outbreaks of malaria including poor sanitary conditions, for example. so simply vaccinating more people will this help to potentially completely eradicate as disease. i would, i would say at this stage that we will need a packet. we will need an integrated package of
12:18 pm
a variety of tools in order to try and bring down malaria to 0 and keep it there. there is not a single place in africa where we have succeeded in doing this so far. we have done in other parts of the world, but in sub saharan africa, particularly difficult, but the combination of the to the use of improper vaccine with the use of a new generation of that. nance that have just been released by w h o to you bet that's on the market, including the indoor residual, spraying that was mentioned and having proper diagnostic tools in place and drugs that are still effective once you have an integrated package. once you have a full toolbox, you can really have a, go a disease and try and see if in different parts of the continent you can start, you know, eliminating it, and eventually hopefully eradicating it. but i mean, that does sound incredibly hopeful, but of course, as another factor isn't that as people's attitudes towards vaccines and how did
12:19 pm
people in the areas that are most effective, how are they open to being and their children being vaccinated? research research has shown so far that there is a very good receptive 80 to as a new vaccine. the impact of disease has been so dramatic for decades and decades. that is, that people are really longing for something that they can use to target is disease to tackle disease. it is clear the fact on the table for every dollar that we invest in rolling out something against malaria, we will have a return of $6.00 coming back to us. so it is totally feasible, investing lots of money in doing this activity by having proper community engagement, community awareness of these new vaccines. we can get a lot of people to adopt this vaccine for their children. and in doing so, once people start to see that mortality child mortality is going down,
12:20 pm
i think the acceptance of a will just progress more and more more. and eventually we can really start hammering down this terrible disease. let me finish with this question, will look into the future. are you confident that the world will get rid of malaria? if you go online, you look at all the big players, the w jo, the global fund, the gates on. there's a lot of these organizations. they all claim on their websites that by 2030 or 2040 latest the world will be free of malaria. i think that is in my view over the optimistic i think it's gonna take longer than that. there are places that are really hard to have access to if we're talking about places, whether civil unrest, when there are civil war. when there's dense jungles where it's just hard to get to people to vaccinate or do malaria control. it's going to take time. but once we start getting our gains into place, once we nibble and as a house own in the north, once we nibble from the south and what's one on the, maybe we get rid of malaria there, i think the world will become more confident,
12:21 pm
more enthusiastic, and don't money will be poured into getting rid of this is ancient school. canals of that to biologist and malaria specialist. it's been a real pleasure speaking to you. thanks so much for your time. my pleasure. to pakistan aware, a series of explosions at a police station has killed at least 16 people and wounded more than 50. but investigators are saying that there is no evidence of its horror attack its thaws of fire and ammunition stole may have self. the blasts multiple blasts tore through this counter terrorism office in pakistan's north west swat valley, the explosions ripped through walls and leave old large parts of the building that he had ordered. but when the gregorio, as our team was recovering, some people, another blast took place. 15 of our ambulances and more than 60 officials are

to, to avoid further escalation. so the situation for ukrainian forces is very a symmetrical in that region, especially in hockey. and the region insist town of ganske, which was liberated in september last year. and could you just give us a quick days about the other developments in the fighting in ukraine? well, the fighting continues in the easter, the major focal point is still bazemore to, but it, it looks like the russian advance there in baltimore has been slowed down by ukrainian forces and were also her own peering reports from the south of ukraine. from the surroundings of the city of san m, that ukrainian, our forces are doing small operations just across the deeper river. on the left bank where russian forces are, there appears to be some kind of a gray zone there. there are a lot of small islands in the river and the pregnant forces are trying to to, to,
