which had led the country to divide two countries and which has burned the whole country with cars in darfur, in blue nile, so this is a situation in sudan, which is now the case is an example of what is happening now in sudan. thank you very much indeed for explaining a little bit more about events in sudan today. now let's go to syria where at least 25 people have been killed in a car bomb explosion very close to the border with turkey. the incident happened near the border crossing in the northern syrian province of aleppo. five women and three children were among the dead. lets take you live to london, where the british foreign secretary william hague is holding a news conference, meeting diplomats from the london 11, the call group of the friends of the syrian people. >> it depends on russian's behavior. >> also john kerry is there. we'll find out what's going on a little later here on aljazeera. >> 10 people have been killed, both involving suicide car bombers in central baghdad. the first blast happened near a government hospital, the second near a civil court. 46 people were injured.

know the same degree of -- the other point is that they had for over a decade posted refugees from darfuror. they had many refugees living in the country. i was tremendously depressed by that relief workers were struggling to gain access to vulnerable populations. two have lost their lives. they were killed this past weekend and northwest central african republic. there were simply trying to deliver health care. , the receiving only half of the recommended daily food rations. so resources are stretched thin. several refugees approach me first and only then told me they did not have enough food to feed their children. they were concerned about that. that does not usually happy when i travel to refugee camps. usually, and they reach the camp they are safe and cared for. in this case, i talk to the world food program about it and they said they knew the food was under the recommended levels, and they did not blame the united states. the said united states have been generous with that other countries had not come through with their shares. in c.a.r. conditions in the camp at the airport were
