the situation constituents of public health, the emergency of international consent, i have accepted that advice well, a new strain of imparts has now spread to at least 13 african countries. but one country has been hit particularly hard, so far, the democratic republic of congo with over 90 percent of all recorded cases and bulk says searching across africa. and this is ground 0 thousands of cases hoping that posted in the democratic republic of congo. as a new outbreak grips the country, it's already claimed at least $450.00 lives, most of them children. and it's showing no sign of slowing down the detection and drop you to spread off a new laid off and books in eastern the odyssey. it's detection in neighboring

countries that had not previously reported in books, and the potential for further spread within africa and beyond is very, warding united option to add that out, breaks of other plates of and books in other parts of africa. it's clear that the coordinated international response is essential to stop this outbreaks and save lives. formerly known as monkey pokes and poke spreads to place contact, including sex causing flu like symptoms and painful pos spilled legions. but this new strain is proving more infectious and even more deadly next. but speed of the growing outbreak in africa could just be the tip of the iceberg. we believe that it's already 8 weeks uh for international sprayed. and of course, there is also the chance that'd be good. it spread beyond africa to order. we don't

serve the world. the world health organization last declared impulse and international health emergency in 2022 with cases in more than 70 countries. that was loc, the shut down with the help of vaccines, and treatments in which countries very few of those that are available in africa and global health officials. hype, this new emergency declaration will kick stats and the international efforts to contain the disease. and removing is a professor of epidemiology at the u. c. l, a. fielding school of public health. she told us how this alert by the w h o could help contain the outbreak. this is actually a very important moment and really demonstrates that we've learned a lot from previous outbreaks or previous uh, situations you know, we've in, in the past maybe reacted a little more slowly when we see something happening in remote rural areas in africa. but i think what we've learned here is an infection anywhere is potentially

an infection everywhere. and what's happening in rural areas of africa can very easily come to our doorsteps, anywhere in the world. and so being able to stop is at its source as soon as possible. it's critically important. and this public health emergency will do many things. it will unlock funding that is not has not been available to really support surveillance, a better testing opportunities, more more efforts towards public health. but it's also going to help coordinate getting vaccines and therapy units to these areas that have not had these tools to be able to combat and fox the previously. and that was android a protest epidemiology, as the u. c. l, a feeling school of public health. no negotiations have a plan to end the war in gaza or scheduled to start to encounter today. the region is on edge, as israel awaits retaliation from

a ran after the killing of how much political leader is male. on the entire, on negotiators want to put a plan to use a plan put together by the abiding administration at the end of may and endorsed by the un security council. it calls for a 6 week cease fire in gaza. a mouse would release its remaining is really hostages and exchange for palestinian prisoners. israel would allow an unlimited aid, allow in unlimited a deliveries and its forces would withdraw from gaza. but how much says it's losing face in the us as a mediator and will not attend the talks. a top official encounter for the post, and he and middleton group, who september 7th, terror attack spark. the war said that from us was still willing to be brief afterwards on the discussed points no matter what we expect to be told by the mediators, the israel has accepted what is being offered. and any meetings should be based on talking about implementation mechanisms and setting deadlines rather than

negotiating something new. otherwise less how mass find no reason to participate or correspond to physics toms, that joins us now from jerusalem. failure to cease fire talks are set to continue today in kata, but as we heard how much is not taking part in those talks, given that what's the prospect of reaching any meaningful agreement or well, i think the mediators are sort of counting on pro worst being made with is row for them then to a beaten, to get in contact with come, us was representative. these are in the hot anyways. it's going to be interesting to see how this pans out to your needs. right. and several media options are reporting on these negotiations as the last chance of reaching the deal. we've been hearing that before it needs to be said, but at the same time, it is a crucial day for the negotiations when it comes to a possible ceasefire and gaza. with the mediators, i think that includes the us,

egypt, and culture. they say they only need to work out the details of implementation of a deal that's already on the table. so what are the sticking points there or well, there are several issues in those negotiations. first of all, the, the issue of the, uh, israel is uh, being held hostage is in gaza. is there, i would like to receive a list of the some 13 hostages uh, released uh, live which is where the months to be released. a lot of homeless only wants to reduce such a list after an uh general agreement will be made. there's also the issue of the soap of philadelphia cory door, which is in principle of the border area between uh the guys, a street and egypt which has been a sort of a lifeline for uh how much in terms of uh, getting uh,

both of goods and r material into the gaza strip, which is why it doesn't want to leave without any sort of um, any sort of overview of everything that's going on there. and the last point which is also very important sticking points here is the issue of the return of the palestinians to the north of the gun. the strip is right. and would like to have some sort of a mechanism which controls the returning palestinians to make sure you know, on people make it through warehouse. how mazda is a bit more critical about that. it remains to be seen whether any, any progress will be made as the negotiations go onto a. it's getting the hostages back, of course is a huge priority port is real. what kind of pressure is the hostage situation putting on nothing. yahoo is really leader to come to an agreement here. so

i think we have 2 elements of the sort of pressure you mentioned. first of all, we have pressure within each row of the, um, the mo, most of the hostages families are putting lots of public pressure on prime minister notes on the, on these ready to government to get a deal done. it needs to be said that most of the is rarely public supports such a deal. at the same time, there's pressure from the outside as well, into the mediators and european countries, which are allies, to me as well. so sort of a germany and have been demanding such a deal. and of course above all, there is the issue of the uranium retaliation and uh, over the killing of a smaller than the other. how most of these are looming above all. and i think this results are to a, to a pressure system over these, right? the government and it remains to be seen whether this would bring us to

a situation where an agreement or some sort of a frame agreement will be reached to de felix. thank you. very much that was our correspond to phoenix temple in jerusalem. it's catching up on a few other stories making headlines around the world today. tropical storm and this though has strengthened into a hurricane after dumping. torrential rain on the us territory of weather rico. the storm knocked out power to over 700000 people on the island. ernesto is forecast to strength and into a major hurricane and passed close to bermuda on saturday. active, a se one of your ups last remaining primeval forests, is in danger. as fire fire as wildfire as burn in bosnia is old as national park authorities of deployed firefighters and military helicopters, 2 bottles of blaze which broke out on sunday. the susan protesters have gathered in the bangladesh capital dock uh,
