hello and welcome to our show, seem goodly invalid. u. s. military says at least 3 sailors have been killed and a missile attack on a freighter off the coast of human. that the 1st death cents with the rebels began attacking shipping in the red sea of the groups. as the crew of the barbados flagged cargo vessel, true confidence ignored warning messages before it came under fire. survivors were forced to abandon ship who these have been attacking ships and what they say is retaliation for is really military action in the gaza strip. the group which is backed by iran, has forced maritime traffic to divert away from the red sea and the gulf of aidan or the world's busiest shipping roots. it will us some british attacks on who the targets and human have so far failed to detour the rebels. the united states will continue to hold the cookies accountable for their attacks, which have not just disrupted international commerce,
12:02 am
not just disrupted the freedom of navigation in international waters and not just endangered c fairs, but now tragically killed. a number of them are the spokesman for the us government there. let's get more on this from vienna ali khan. she research as human and the persian gulf, and it's based in new york. you know, welcome to the show. these are the 1st states, how these from the strikes which have been going on for months. why has this western naval force led by the us been so unable to stop the who these, which many of us would see as something of a rag tag militia i mean f, as in the us, me, you case stuff of the strikes on the, i mean we can quite honestly see an ultimate like publicly known standing policy towards human. and i think right now we have suffering the wrong vacations of implementing short side of the policies which was initially intended not to end the
12:03 am
conflicting event, but to contain it. and the strategy has really backside, i think many i'm in this people set in january. we're wondering if the us you say that the strikes will not the tub if you these, you know, we've seen that right in the, if any bank, the strikes having coverage, the companies to increase the tax in the red sea. and they've so new interest to store what's the, what's the or if anything, be a tax, the us and you pay a tax on them and has viewed the input again, the machine, the heat, these and encourage them to buy more. so at the moment, you know, the western countries, they have no good options, they can either increase the tax on human, which will ultimately lead to move etc attacks, or they can do nothing. so i can make statements for social media. and in that scenario, you know, the heat is, can claim that the winning the conflict and the mattress on that's a, does this, does this raise the stakes for the whole thing is this is the 1st 3 deaths to this point. no one has been killed from their direct actions. this is not potentially
12:04 am
raise the resolve of other nations to do something about this. i mean the stuff in the base of the state for the western countries to do something else. now we have civilian deaths, but for the heat these i don't think so. you know, reading the media, they have pointed to the depths of these opinions, the fact that the ship didn't listen to the warning signs. i lost my key, they connect anything that happens to the red sea to what's happening in gaza, right? so whatever happens but not suffering any media know speed best because they can ultimately gets high and say that the civilian deaths ultimately linked to the fact that the americans points to as well. from its own. floating garza, the ship was bound for saudi arabia, the saudis have kept out of this issue so far. could this raise pressure on them to get involved briefly if you can. yes. so the size and the heat, these have, you know that communication and the dialogue to end the conflicting young men has
12:05 am
been ongoing, although it's been slightly slow. as i know it was before the one gaza started and i think the kingdom and the heat. these have been, you know, very clear on the boundaries the solid. these do not want any attacks on the border until they treat these. they do not want a resumption of conflict. and we've seen thus far, you know, both sides have respect to those boundaries. and yes, the ship was heading to saudi arabia, but they are top was no on south the soil and that's a big difference. and that's where the salad, these red lines lie, essentially, until we see creepy attacks on south east, both as i would say that the 2 countries come very much compartments lies what happens in the red sea and to the dialogue to end the conflict. right, that's you know, all the con in new york. thank you. thank you for helping me. she did not have states. now. we're a former south carolina governor, nikki haley has suspended her presidential campaign, following a pushover, and a super tuesday primaries. donald trump $114.00 out of 15 of those contests. and
12:06 am
now the only republican left in is now the only republican left in the race for the white house. well, following the announcement healey, thanks for supporters, but she did not offer trump or endorsement. i am filled with the gratitude for the outpouring of support. we were all across our at the time. and i bet i wanted americans to have their voices heard. i have done, i have no regrets. and although i will no longer be a candidate, i will not stop using my voice for the things i believe is right here. some reactions of voters and hailey supporters following her exit from the republican presidential race to it's disappointing because it was really refreshing to have someone speak reality and point out that this is not normal. the discourse that we have from the previous present president trump. and so i really hope in the next
12:07 am
couple of days, she doesn't turn around and endorsed him, it was expected, but the media was covering and how the landscape in this country is about election about the coming november. so i think she tried her best. unfortunately, nobody saw it how potential to assess for the sorry, i don't think anybody really wants to see this type of a rematch kind of scenario playing out. i think people are exhausted the last time and now that you're 9 months away from an election, people are keeping people motivated at this point is going to be difficult. right. shifting gears, the un security council has held an emergency meeting to address spiraling violence in haiti. powerful gang leaders. there have been launching attacks and an effort to oust prime minister r e. o. henry on res critics say that he's not stuck to his promise to resign in february. instead forming an alliance with the opposition until new elections can
12:08 am
be held. as gang violence continues to escalate and hate, see, one of the leaders issues a strong warning to the countries prime minister sailing by the we still need me. i've got a what is arial already, doesn't resign funding? just wondering if the international community continues to support him, us will be heading straight for a civil war that will lead to genocide give you a tough day, which is which is federal gang so being wreaking havoc across the country for months. but simon's escalated, in recent days, a sped by on res recent trip to kenya to appeal for international support to quell the violence and recent decision to further delay elections in haiti. gang seized control of haters, main airport, looking on res plane from returning home.
12:09 am
they also coordinated several attacks including on a police station and a prison police flag. we are using the population to spend for themselves. so we had to try to fix to defend ourselves. now it's the gangs that control the country. they could seize power because the situation is not good at all. the thousands has been forced to flee the homes. is the civil unrest continues to spread. brookings foreign policy analysts. so if you wouldn't, bar joins me now from one this. she was formerly based in haiti for united nations . and so if you walk into the show human rights she folk, a torque has worn as warren, that the situation is, quote, beyond untenable,
12:10 am
how serious is what we're seeing right now based on what you've seen. it's incredibly serious and i think that the um under the secretary general talk turkeys absolutely correct and saying it's beyond tenable. we've seen a study, but increasingly rapid deterioration across haitian society in the states. violence is, is, is i keep getting, even for this latest round of, of fighting and the kind of a murder rate that was literally doubled last year over the year before. they're, even in the latest round of fighting or 15000 hastings displaced. and that adds to well over 200000 that were displaced before that economy has drunk for 5 consecutive years. the things are incredibly tenuous and the health system, the educational system is not a functioning uh it, it really is just a very,
12:11 am
very situation, the serious situation. this appears to be a large part of a political dispute of domestic political disputes surrounding the prime minister. is there a clear direction here for the international community and responding? yeah, i think is you're aware of the president of haiti was assassinated in july 2021. the acting pre master took office following that and was charged with ways before the assassination was finding a consensus government to hold elections. elections haven't been held in the country since 2016. they're no longer any elected leaders in the country. the prime minister has been able to make a whole lot of progress in this effort. there issues and sort of unwilling us to create concessions on both sides of the prime minister in the opposition. but essentially it's been 2 and a half years. there been a couple of agreements that have been made and they have not been implemented. and we're in a situation where the haitians are just incredibly frustrated and just very much
12:12 am
want a change. so where do you see the focus coming from the international community? is it going to be on quelling violence? or i'm putting some sort of pressure on the prime minister in this case. i think there's a recognition that there needs to be and focus from the international community on both. i think of course the violence needs to be halted. uh, and there's agreement on that. absolutely. but without the progress of my political friends, without a political change, there's going to be no kind of long term solution to the pilots. right? so if you're running bar with a broken sense to thank you very much. and let's have a look out. some of the other stories making headlines around the world. south africa has made a new application to the international court of justice. asked me to prevent famine and the gaza strip is seeking additional emergency measures against israel warning . the palestinians in gauze are facing starvation. south africa has urged the court to order all parties to cease hostilities to release all hostages and detain these
