. ♪ we begin in south africa where the high court is about to decide if the bashir should be handed overa criminal court and expecting a victim at any moment and attending the summit in johanesburg is acruised of crimes against humanity and they say he should be arrested by the government is saying he should be allowed home. >> yes, of course president yuma declared this that president bashir is our guest in south africa and he can stay whatever time he likes and can leave whatever time he wants and he is under the protection of the south african authorities. >> reporter: al jazeera is live for us in johanesburg and it may be academic but there are reports that president bashir may have already left south africa. >>> adrian, they have indeed been unconfirmed reports he may have left the country in the last hour or two and we are talking about the military base where his plane was flown later on sunday. now, if we look back to the interim and court order that came through on sunday preventing or ordering him from leaving the country one of the respondents that wasn't included is the milit

but with other cases it is continuing with africa union and africa states. we have large sport from africa societies and recently mali had made a new referral with the icc. there had been new suspects returned by the icc. and in general the relationship with africa is important because they are the biggest group. they have voltairely asked the court to investigate the vast majority of the icc investigation has been opened at the request of the african governments and they're also looking into cases about other regions in the world whether it be palestine and others. but this was at the request of the african state. >> sure, it's not just african government who is say that the icc is racist. it concentrates almost exclusively on our continent's problems. it's something that you'll hear from many african intellectuals from writers and people right across africa. >> i think there is a need to better understand the system with which icc functions and how kisses with be brought before the icc. it was the african governments themselves who asked for these investig

moving towards a peaceful africa with the 1963 founding of africa -- of the africa union. wonderful set of guests with us today. i would like to extend a special warm welcome to our co-host this afternoon, ambassador mohammed tawfik of egypt. thank you for joining us this afternoon. and especially warm welcome to ambassador mathilde mukantabana rwanda and ambassador sumbana of mozambique. and i know there are a number of other ambassadors who are coming in and out. so, please, feel welcomed, we're delighted to have you with us today. and, of course, i'm always happy to see ambassador princeton lyman who i worked with through the years. and we will also have him here. ambassador lyman for sudan and south sudan. so two years ago on the 50th anniversary of the african union, the 53 nations set out a plan for the next half century. and i think incredible set of vision and foresight. and they came together for the agenda 2063, which was a road map that put together a vision of the continent as a prosperous and peaceful africa that was going to rekindle unity and self-reliance a

they say that the africa nations have been targeted, and the africa national says that until all countries are members of the icc they have no interest. and until there are reforbes they have no consideration. they're more inclined to have their own courts set up in africa. certainly a clear statement to the icc that africa well on its way to withdrawing from that court. >> just very briefly before i let you go, this has got to be pretty embarrassing for the government of south africa. what's been president zuma's reaction? what is the government saying for the fact that he simply got on a plane and just left? >> well, that's the odd thing so far. the sows africa government has said very little. in fact, it took them most of the day to come up and confirm that president bashir had actually left the country. they were reluctant to give that confirmation, especially because of what the impact would be in court. remember we were waiting to hear whether or not al bashir would be arrested, and. >> joining us live from johannesburg. thank you so much. >>> libya said that the leader of al-qaeda's

have jurisdiction over africa. they're not happy with the way it's conducted itself so far saying that so far the icc has targeted african countries and countries across the globe aren't party to the icc aren't treated in the same way. they would look at pursuing african solutions for african problems ultimately setting up a court here in africa. for now they would rather put aside their obligations, and they want africa counties to withdraw. >> what has been the reactions to bashir's departure if any? >> well, what has been interesting is that it's only been later in the afternoon. that was a couple of hours after reports started that al-bashir had left the country. that the south africa government came forward and said yes he left. and that was after the court said he should be detained. and minutes later the south african government said that he just left the country. they say they have no idea whether he's in the country or not. we need to confirm this with the department of home affairs. it's likely that they

does that suggest he had no fear of being arrestin south africa? >> immediately prior to the arrival that it was not likely they would arrest him. >> how much of this is being the case then of the south african government lineing up completely be opposite to the south african judiciary? >> it's unlikely that the president was involved in the final decision however it is a huge shift from south africa's own position in the past where they did instead tell al bashir not to travel to south africa because he could risk being arrested. and in not complying with the decision of the high court is the south african government through its various departments actually can be found in contempt of court if such a case is brought forward. >> so just how embarrassing do you think this is for south africa? >> i think on many levels it is embarrassing because they haven't been consistent on their point of view on international governance. they would have told you they are in full support of the icc and full support of international criminal justice. less than seve

that's very much in line with the africa union idea that africa should deal with justice any allegations of war crimes, genocide rather than the international criminal court. the africa union has no faith in the court regarding african matters. they feel targeted by the icc and would rather deal with their issues by themselves. >> thank you very much for the latest on this fascinating story from johannesburg. >>> now, at least 20 people have been killed in a series of blasts in chad. witnesses say suicide bombs on motorcycles simultaneously attacked two buildings. there has been no immediate claim of responsibility. world leaders stand accused of a shameful failure and millions of people face misery in the worst crisis in our era. 4million syrian refugees are struggling to survive in turkey, lebanon, jordan, iraq and egypt. there are more than 3 million refugees in sub-sahara africa. almost 2,000 have died so far this year on boats like this. hundreds more have died in southeast asia sea mainly rohingya muslims facing persecution in myanmar. many are tried to reach turkey. they are fleei

this was in the public gazette of south africa 10 days ago.s the court does not know about this, which is bad or it does know and this is worse. but this is a matter to be assessed by law. >> reporter: it's left the south africa government in a very difficult position. pretoria has an agreement with the you had au that sitting heads of state cannot be arrested. the question is, what happens now? >> who is it that can prevents al bashir from leaching south africa? is there an official? it is -- he will have to be arrested. and he will have to be put in custody. and all of those are not the court's responsibility. the court has made a decision which according to the law is quite correct. but it can't enforce its own decisions. >> reporter: nine international criminal court has asked south africa to arrest bashier accusing him of crimes against humanity and genocide in dar fewer. south africa has signed up to the i.c.c. many african nations believe the i.c.c. is biased against its leaders and picking them out for prosecution. that may sway the de

africa for cartoon.ello, can you hear me? it's al jazeera here. >> i'm hearing you yes. actually, the president attended the summit and today and after that he will be in cartoon. there is no problem as a result from here no coordination with south african authorities. south africa has declared ten days before that, they will not deal with this and this is actually they decided not to be with itc and allegations for the african central. >> minister do you have assurances from south africa authorities regardless of the high court decision that president bashir will be free to leave? >> of course. president zuma declared this. president bashir is our guest in south africa. and he can stay whatever time he likes and can leave any time he wants and this is actually and he said he is under the protection of the south africa authority. and so i think this is all this because we used to talk about the country but all the african leaders decided not to deal with this and this is an important thing so whether the

he is attended an african union summit in south africa. leaders are expected to discuss the political arrest and the migration crisis on the continent. >>> al shabaab has launched a dawn attack on an army base on kenya. the group also raided a nearby town >>> sunday's raids come on the anniversary of attacks in which close to 100 people were killed in a series of armed assaults. >>reporter: they're heading to the military barracks -- kenyans in somolia for a while. this comes on the eve of a series of attacks that started here last year and then spread to neighboring villages. what's happening behind me is a memorial prayer service to honor those who died. people not just here but across the country are very worried about this across the country. recruitment is going on in al shabaab in some parts. >>> the efforts in south africa to hand sudan's president over to the icc, let's go live to south africa. what do we know about the likelihood he will actually hand it over? >>reporter: so far the likelihood that it would be handed over are very

south africa said that if he visits south africa, he will be arrested. we'll have to wait and see what will happen. at the moment there's no evidence that he is in south africa. what we know for sure is that the plane which carried the emblems and symbols of sudan is somewhere in south africa. >> i want to tap into your expertise on burundi, and pick up what i was saying earlier. we say that burundi will dominate the talks at this au summit. the au is passing the buck to the east african economic community, isn't it? >> that's what they do all the time. the buck has been passed to the east african community. they are at pains to justify what to do how to go about the situation in george burnett. importantly, the discussion is about the postponement of the elections, not the withdrawal of raining for a third term. they are not calling for the postponement, but not to run for a third term. four of the seven judges who endorsed the constitution that, you know will allow pierre nkurunziza to run for a third term have left the country. only three did approve

so you see here this map of africa? so there's about 1400 total samples here and each sample is from a separate family group. >> wasser was able to determine the origin of the 6 and a half tons of ivory seized in singapore and shipped out of malawi. it all came from a neighboring country, zambia. wasser's team had made a discovery that would revolutionize law enforcement's approach to poaching >> basically this study debunked some of the assumptions that you and interpol had about how these activities were working? what were those assumptions? >> so there were assumptions that law enforcement in general had and one was ...when you get a big seizure, they were cherry picked from all over africa, and what we showed was that is not what is happening. that there are poached in the same area over and over and over again. >> the plight of the african elephant has been well-documented. these heartbreaking images were shot in a sanctuary for elephant orphins in kenya >> from before, the biggest enemy of elephants... >> this two

he is in south africa for the african summit. a judge is due to issue a ruling on monday. the icc first indicted the president in 2009. he's wanted for alleged war crimes including genocide commitmented during the darfur conflict. the icc says it's deeply concerned about negative consequence ifs the arrest is not carried out but south africa's governing amc accuses them of unfairly targeting african leaders. >>reporter: much of the focus here on sunday has been around the presence of the president of sudan. he's of course wanted by the international criminal court on charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes stemming back to fighting in darfur. now, the african union is saying that ass as a sitting head of state, he should be attending the summit here in africa. the government has been taken to court by civil society groups as well as human rights watch to be forced to adhere to their obligations from the icc. they are of course signatory to the rome statute which established that court. so we're seeing potential fallout. and ultimately, there are concern around th

the south africa is moving in line with the icc. rather moving in line with the african union saying that the icc should not have jurisdiction over africa, and it does not have any value and it's eye bassed in its approach to dealing with alleged crimes against humanity or war crimes specifically in africa. >> how is this drama all playing out with africans? how are they responding to their government's actions. >> they're not particularly concerned about the standing of the high court and whether or not the african government has enough respect for that court considering they did not hold up that order that omar al-bashir remain in the country. and they responded negatively to how they have conducted itself. it's only a few hours ago that the government said oh, yes omar al-bashir has left the country. prior to that they said we have no knowledge of where he is. no knowledge of whether or not he is in the country. that's been frustrating for south africans because there is protocol that goes along with the foreign foreign heads eve

jack warner during south africa's successful bid for the 2010 world cup. let's bring our cell phone and correspondent. aisha? aisha: fikile mbalula is sticking to his guns. he is saying this was not a bribe, it was money always intended to go there, they even paid a trip by the former president who said that south africa winning the 2010 world cup with never intended only to benefit south africa, but it success was meant to benefit the african continent as well as the african diaspora, and they had a payment to the caribbean football association to benefit that association and a development fund, so mr. bmbalula saying this was a payment always meaning to go to the football association, and it was definitely not a bribe by the south african football association, and also not a bribe by the south african government. gazpromgenie: ayesha, do the journalists seem to believe what the south african sports minister is trying to convince them of? ayesha: i think the problem started when the scandal broke. it was only on the weekend when the south african football

south africa is concerned about south africa's place in leading the continent and also the place in thefrican union and maintaining this commitment to international law as well as obligations to the international criminal court. south africa following the leadership of nelson mandela is expected to be an example in terms of protecting its constitution as well as abiding by international law and protecting human rights so depending what comes out of this court case and whether or not el bashir leaves the country south africa could possibly face a lot of criticism, adrian. >> many thanks live in johanesburg. opposition leaders in australia demanding if navy commanders bribed people smugglers to take migrants back to indonesia and a boat with 65 my grants on board were stopped last month and said they were paid $5,000 each to return to indonesia. australia's prime minister tony abbot is refusing to confirm or deny the statements and sarah is a senator with the australian green party and says turning away migrants is a moral question for the australian government. >> we believe there needs

africa. and i thank you all for everything from what i have heard. when we are talking about peace and development, i think the first thing that comes to my mind is food, agriculture. i didn't hear that. from the two -- and the other thing i would like to know is, maybe from the organizers, how they came up with who represented out of all 54 regions of africa. are we talking about international african. but i see with the money that was intended. the other thing is -- we can't have everybody have too many questions. >> well this is -- maybe this is the last one. >> okay, quickly. >> yes. the participants, we heard about the conflicts going on in rwanda. and if -- i would like to read something here very brief which i think would be part of the solution about what's going on for us in africa. where i come from. and this is about two americans. i read it from a geographic book written by jack mcclinton. they say that the ship of africa the size, the ship and the composition of today's african c

bashir was in south africa for an african union summit. allowing for his arrest by the south african government, despite that, bashir left on monday and since then a high court has said south africa's south africa's conduct has not been consistent to that. in line with south africa's sentiment as well as with the african union to say it wants to pull away from the international criminal court where bashir wanted for crimes against humidity. >> and earlier a representative told barnaby phillips that they are looking into whether south africa flouted the directions of the international criminal court. >> which they ignored with impunity. >> and that has been made very well to them. now it would be for the chamber of the international criminal court whether there was a noncompliance by south africa and whether such a finding is made it should be conveyed to the united nations security council for any measures they deem appropriate to ensure this cooperation. >> but sudan's foreign minister was critical of attempts to send bashir to the icc. >

the entire situation is embarrassing for south africa. it's stuck between a rock and a hard place whether they should have left him leave the country or whether they were possibly considering arresting him. >> we'll speak to a lawyer who has advised the i.c.c. on the bashir case. >> yemen is on the verge of collapse after three months of fighting. talks are underway to end the war in geneva. there will be no pause unless houthis pull out from the areas they control and the houthis say that will not happen. ban ki-moon is calling for an immediate ceasefire. >> we don't have a moment to lose. in yemen's case, the ticking clock is not a time piece. it's a time bomb. the fighting is giving new strength to some of the world's most ruthless terrorist groups. the region simply cannot sustain another open wound like syria and libya. >> we have more from outside those talks in geneva. >> talks are now underway at the united nations envoy the houthis haven't arrived yet. we expect them to arrive later in the day. there will be no face-to-face talks

we'll be talking to our correspondent in south africa. we'll have that and much more. >> precepting the court ruling own on an international arrest warrant. >> hello there. you're watching al jazeera. also coming up the worst refugee crisis. >>> u.n. general secretary ban ki-moon speak about yemen after talks get under way

and on the other hand, south africa's on the obligation to the international criminal court.ring there is an arrest warrants for president alba shear. >> let's hear from a sudanese government minister. sudan's government insistence that their president will return as scheduled regardless of the court's decision. >> we are here as guests and hosted by the government of south africa. i believe the government of south africa can deal with its court and whatever it's trying to stop president bashier from leaving the country. i can tell you president bashier will leaf on time as it has been scheduled. >> so, if the court in south africa decides to comply with the i.c.c. request to arrest omar al bashir and hands him over to the international criminal court. how will it enforce its decision? >> reporter: well, that's the difficulty that the court is facing, adrian is does it have particular for enforce this decision. earlier on sunday when they first came out it say this they could stay in the country the home affairs department at the international aid for johannesburg refused to

and they have a copy of the letter from south africa africa about the payment. i'm pleased that he's gone, but there is an enormous amount of work to be done. they could leave this in the hands of the fifa family. let's not forget that 153 voted him in on the friday last. >> he was re-elected because he had plenty of support from within fifa. let's go live to al jazeera daniel explain why it was. >> well, i think its mostly because there is oceans, football oceans it's very well out of the way and things were set up. that's come to go light now. many of those arrested in zurich last friday were heads or former heads of the south american football associations. one of the names most commonly mentioned is that of the former fifa vice president julio grandola. he decide last july but his name has been cropping up in many of these allegations most specifically the one we just heard about the $10 million that jerome balke was accused of sending to the united states. the head of the finance committee at that time was the very same grandola. they've been meeting right

there was a reluctance by africa to hand over any leaders. the sudanese have called for a press conference. what is likely to happen next, do you think? >> well, there certainly is a sentiment from the african union that we will not have any sitting head of state arrested. they say that their also trying to move away from their obligations to the international criminal court. if we look back to prior statements from president zuma, he said if the sudan president came, he would be arrested and is backing off. should south africa change its tune, they would create difficulties with it's relationship with that country. for now the a.u. is animate that bashir is here to stay for the summit. he made his first public appearance in jonesberg during a photo opportunity for the media. the su is making the statement with the president in south africa. >> tell us as soon as you get any notice from the court then from johannesburg. >> armed men forced hundreds of syrian refugees away from the turkish border. these pictures show fighters from islamic stat

we are joined live from south africa with more on that. diana, front and center here, is a $10 million payment. a key part of the indictment accusing former fifa vice president, jack warner of taking a bribe in exchange for helping south africa to get the 2010 world cup. what is expected to be said about that bombshell allegation? >> well, so far the sports minist minister's reaction to what has been laid out in the u.s. indictment and this $10 million allegedly paid is complete denial. he labeled allegations as "mudslinging" and south africa as a country is big fighting corruption which raised a few eyebrows here. and there was no bribe paid. but since he made those comments a few interesting revelations have come out which he will now have to address. first of all over the weekend, danny jordoun, president and head of the organizing committee, admitted in a newspaper to a newspaper, "the sunday independent" that money had been made in 2808, $10 million to concacaf, jack warner's entity, futbol entity, in the caribbean. but because it was

diverse and different as china, turkey, afghanistan, the united states, the middle east and north africa going through various instances of saying enough and when i mentioned china i think they were detained and five remain in detention because of the feminist protest. in afghanistan she is lynched for her views even though according to the traditions they say to the men most importantly no weatherman will touch her in reference to a woman that is raped and murdered and here in the united states in response to the police brutality we saw three women who after the murder of trayvon martin started the hash tag #blacklivesmatter. be they women of the middle east or the u.s. commanded the example women in india and hundreds and thousands protested. and there's the issue of women of color speaking out because i think that is historically in silence to the combination of things don't talk about these because it's going to make us look bad or because they give ammunition to the races to use against men so we have a double burden to bear and that is for the middle east and everywhere but these a

we were actually in west africa or had been in west africa since 2006 helping nations develop diagnostic capabilities for fever, fever viruses, a channel toward ebola as early as march in sierra leone and april in liberia to combat the current outbreak. we also put to know the capabilities on the ground in liberia. the attempt for that was to be able to monitor the virus and to be able to track any genetic changes in the virus because it was genetically mutate during the outbreak while the vaccine and therapeutics might not work so we wanted to be able to track that. trading education on a number of standard publications were used as reference materials for training forces, but i want to highlight other operation. this is where usamriid personal stood up to the challenge at additional training to stop heart of the core elements. they provided and trained over 4000 deployed personnel on how to don protective equipment and invested thousands of man-hours to do that. they also consulted with various agencies on dead body management and patient transports to minimize the spread of ebola infe

al-bashir was in south africa to attend an african union summit. before leaving, he posed for a group photo with other african leaders, including the south african president, jacob zuma. the south african government is facing criticism at home and abroad for defying its own judiciary and allowing al-bashir to walk free. brian: what went wrong? our -- a spokesman at the international criminal court is joining us live on the line from the head. did the icc really believe that omar al-bashir was going to be arrested in south africa and finally face the charges against him? >> just before answering you. -- you, i need to make a point that mr. al-bashir is presumed innocent, like all suspects. only after a trial is guilt proven beyond a reasonable doubt. mr. al-bashir is present innocent but he is suspected of having committed war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in darfur. for the icc, it is important to arrest mr. al-bashir in order for the proceedings to go ahead for the victims to see that justice is being done, and also for humanity to

stretching across 26 countries from egypt to south africa, the total area represents 62% of africa's gdp and is home to 600 million people. analysts say the deal could double existing trade and stimulate one dollars trillion worth of economic activity. >> this is a landmark milestone in the history of africa. and the reason why is because you now are going to have a free trade area, a single economic -- covering half of africa. so that is unprecedented. claire: wednesday ceremony is a first step. national parliaments must give approval. although there are hopes it could be in place by 2017. the pact is due to be unveiled at an african union gathering this weekend. so leaders celebrated behind closed doors. outside, security was tight. a reminder of the islamist terror threat that looms large over pockets of the continent. but that is just one challenge facing greater economic integration. the poor state of africa's transport, telecommunications, and energy sectors could behamper increased rate. markus: a transatlantic trade deal has hit a snag in the european parliament. european law

has ordered south africa to determine how he was able to leave the country. this is in line with growing au sentiment that the icc unfairly targets african states and lacks credibility. >> this is 2015, not 1715. the concept of a european funded ngo, trying to enforce a european directed european funded court trying to force black africans to send other black africans back in chains, that's incredible sort of travesty. >> there's been no indication yet if that court would take up the allegations against al bashir. al jazeera johannesburg. >> kurdish forces and the islamic state of iraq and the levant fight for control of a key border town. kurdish ypg fighters say they have taken control of tal abyad. bernard smith reports from akchakalay on the turkish side of the border. >> their flag now flies over this border crossing. the three week assault by the ychgypg on tal abyad u.s. air strikes have helped the ypg push through, the price they paid is homes turned to rubble. >> we lost our home ten days ago. before that life was okay. is. >> translator: we were ter

sarah: thank you for your reporting from south africa. in south africa is also considering a withdraw from the national criminal court. it's a fallout from a dispute when the sudanese president visited earlier this month. he is wanted by the icc on genocide charges but he was allowed to leave the country despite a south african court ruling barring his departure. he was attending a meeting of the african union. he had immunity from arrest because he was attending an international summit. earlier, we spoke to the leader of south africa up our main opposition party. he told us he wanted a full investigation. >> what is critical is that what took place is a violation of the international criminal court. the south african high court ruled that he should of been arrested. the president highlighted in 2010 that if he arrived in south africa, he should've been arrested. so far, we are saying, how does the government get containment of its own laws and court order? so that those were responsible for the actions of allowing him to leave must be he

africa's longstanding friend. the reason, being one of the main reason is that he stood up to the europeans to protect african football. he's done so by ensuring that african's countries have equal amount of founding. let's say if the u.k. receives a million dollars, a mull country receives the same amount. and re assured a lot of african federation here. maybe he brought the world cup to the continent. before that, africans had little to say about world cup in general. in fact, for many of the members of the federations here, throughout africa, they remember 1966, when great britain won the world cup. and at that time the african countries boycotted, because only one country was allowed to represent the continent. for deb aids african decades african nations have been under-represented. that's why many here support sepp blatter. >> thank you. >>> just ahead, american football and your taxpayer dollars wasted again. the pentagon has been paying n.f.l. teams to do the salutes to veterans. that's right, the teams ar

intra-africa trade is 10% to 12% of all trade in africa. in the u.s.th america trade, 40%. in europe, intraregional trade is 60%. there is a lot that needs to be done. one of the things that we are doing is trying to break the simple -- these with which taking deposits and buying treasury bills gives good spreads, but doesn't help the economy it doesn't give lending to the small businesses. the tray finance groups are looking at the same thing. the more we can get lending to small businesses, lending to entrepreneurs, lending to the midsized corporis, lending into the agricultural sector, the more we are going to do here to create jobs and economic growth. anna: how do you break that? if government debt look so attractive to the local banking sector, why go through the hard work to assess whether to lend money to medium-size business? bob: in our case, we are very clear that it takes strong moves from the public sector. so the central bank in nigeria come as an example, has been increasing capital charges on domestic treasury bills to encourage banks t

sarah: thank you for your reporting from south africa. in south africa is also considering a withdraw from the national criminal court. it's a fallout from a dispute when the sudanese president visited earlier this month. he is wanted by the icc on genocide charges but he was allowed to leave the country despite a south african court ruling barring his departure. he was attending a meeting of the african union. he had immunity from arrest because he was attending an international summit. earlier, we spoke to the leader of south africa up our main opposition party. he told us he wanted a full investigation. >> what is critical is that what took place is a violation of the international criminal court. the south african high court ruled that he should of been arrested. the president highlighted in 2010 that if he arrived in south africa, he should've been arrested. so far, we are saying, how does the government get containment of its own laws and court order? so that those were responsible for the actions of allowing him to leave must be he

it was time that the world cup came to africa. really, to make an affirmation, because of the assumption, you know the africans would not have the capacity to host a major turn. very demand of course, that you know the africans not yet, they have not yet grown up to be able to do that. we were saying that we needed to make a firm statement. and that is wrong. the south africans from capable of responding to a challenge. >> so that is the scene going on in johannesburg where the south african sports ministery is holding a bres conference. investigators are looking into alleged corruption that linked into the 2012 world cup held in south africa at the time. we'll bring you news lines on al jazeera a little later >>> moving on for now, it's billed as the new silk road. it's an special economic zone on the hina kazakhstan boarder. so far business is brisk. beijing allowed tourist and shoppers to across the boarder without a visa and buy duty free goods. chinese tourists wanting to shop on the other side are not so happy. >> reporter:
