San juan puerto rico. Argentina has designated hezbollah as a terrorist organization it blames the Lebanese Movement for 2 attacks on its soil the announcement carries sided with the visit by the u. S. Secretary of state. That is a. Siren to remember the worst terrorist attack in argentinas history. A truck loaded with explosives was driven into the am yes entering when a site is killing 85 people and wounding hundreds of others. And the enemys phone system annoy me was one of. The victims she says argentina never investigated the local connection. There was a local connection and we dont know what it was but where did they get fix plosives the safe houses they did not bring it from iran argentina has accused top iranian officials and a hezbollah operative of being behind the tag in 2005 interpol issued 6 arrest warrants that include high ranking iranian officials. But for the relatives there needs to be much more people here do not trust in the official investigation because its been filled with corruption and irregularities from the very beginning last february a judge was sentenced to 6 years in prison for his role in a cover up and thats what angers people here is that until now nobody has been charged for being responsible for the attack. In the past 25 years changes in government brought different approaches to the investigation former president Cristina Kirchner reversed the countrys hardline iran policy rather than demand the detention of the bombers she negotiated a Bi National Commission to investigate with iran 2 years later a special prosecutor investigating amiya was found shot in the head a day before he was scheduled to testify in congress about allegations that kirschner had signed a deal to absolve iran in return for your pretty of trade deals with her government when you took office he suspended the agreement and now says argentina is ready to include hezbollah in the list of terrorist organizations. A few weeks after the bombing it was clear that iran and its to promise were behind it with the help of hezbollah terrorists and a local connection after 25 years the proof is even more clear the argentine actions against hezbollah overlap with the visit of u. S. Secretary of state to the country some analysts say it is not a coincidence. Every year the government puts a political spin on the any verse or now they announce that hizbullah is a terrorist organization they are doing a service for the United States and israel and nothing interests of argentina and thats why many of those affected are frustrated and angry because they see their tragedy has been used politically over the years while the perpetrators remain at large.

A trade officials from china and the United States have been speaking by telephone as the worlds 2 largest economies look to end their year long trade war u. S. Treasury secretary stephen knew chen says face to face meetings could now follow and as way ripples from beijing businesses hope that will provide some good news for chinas economy. This is an uncertain time for Chinese Companies selling things at home and overseas retail sales are forecast to slow down faster than expected this year and exports are being hit by a trade war with the United States chinese furniture makers are among the most affected after the u. S. Placed a 25 percent tariff on their products last month that were waiting to see what happens next we might have to adjust the price is that a bit but were at the moment of just wait and see now no decisions yet. President donald trump believes chinas trade relationship with the United States is not a fair one so last year he began placing tariffs on some chinese goods beijing retaliated with its own taxes a truce was declared when trump met his chinese counterpart xi jinping at the g. 20 summit in japan last month but in china there is a sense that a deal is a long way off and the government is settling in for a long fight a resumption in trade talks is welcomed here in china but it is tempered with a realisation that some of the things the americans are asking for will take a long time to deliver if they can be delivered at all the dispute goes way beyond simple trade in goods and services the u. S. Wants china to undertake broad Economic Reforms to make it easier for American Companies to do business here but that could be a step too far for the communist party which is likely to view that as an attempt to undermine chinas sovereignty there are something that can be talked about like pure trade importing more of the natural gas agricultural products. But then when it comes to industrial policy. Or you name bracing liberal values these are very hard questions to proceed but china has to balance that with the likelihood that a drawn out trade dispute will contribute to a slowing economy increasing the risk of political instability in the meantime many businesses in china both large and small will be watching closely for any sign of an improvement in relations between the worlds 2 largest economies wayne hay al jazeera beijing.

They collected money to buy a monitoring device. This equipment warren says when he made up his becoming active very transmitters in the mountain that activity. It makes a steady sound if its activity then we were in people using walkie talkie so they dont panic. Theres also a radio service. Busy but updates everyone on the volcanos status. This Lookout Point is part of the Warning System there are several of these in each village built using Community Funds from these vantage points villages take turns to Monitor Mount merapi for activity volcanoes are not the only natural disasters that threaten indonesia earthquakes and tsunamis are also common but less predictable. We can never be 100 percent prepared what we can do is make today better than yesterday and tomorrow better than today. Disaster officials have long given up trying to persuade villages. To relocate some outside to mean that we are made up the people moving us is like moving the mountain what we need to do is learn to read the signs will always be with the volcano erupts we will leave but only for a while when but up he calls us back we will return to take care of her.

Ebola in the democratic republic of congo is declared an International Public Health Emergency thats from the World Health Organization so given the resurgence of the disease has enough been done to stop it and can science one day want to tout this is its a story. Hello and welcome to the program im in wrong its the largest ever outbreak of ebola after the 2014 epidemic in west africa and the spread of the virus in the democratic republic of congo has reached a critical point the World Health Organization has now declared this latest flare up a Public Health emergency of International Concern that rare move could boost global attention and encourage more aid almost one year into the crisis more than 2500 people have been infected in the region and at least 1600 have died the 1st confirmed case in the city of goma its a major regional hub on the border with rwanda and thats raising concerns the virus may be spreading beyond the d. L. C. As borders catherine soy reports from nairobi. After hours of deliberations by the Emergency Committee of the World Health Organization over the status of the born in the democratic republic of congo members have decided it requires a vigorous International Response there is concern about spread of them from mom to get away even there so far no cases were a newly infected in the city. These days and point remains that there has been a recurrence of intense transmission in beijing saying that the geographical expansion is now in the 500 kilometers. Or define it is Going Forward for you know. The meeting was called off top preacher who traveled to bhutan book about 200 kilometers north of the city of goma to pray for the sick tested positive on his arrival back he died this week. At the border between goma and rhonda Health Workers taking no chances rhonda has already told citizens to avoid travelling to goma the w. H. O. Committee has warned against closing buddhas and district trades. Darcey government Officials Say many of those who came in contact with the preacher have been vaccinated and its unlikely a ball will spread father but asked still consigns is a key city. I cant afford to be afraid because if im scared of carrying someone ill get no clients and that means no money so warshel i eat. What will be do now should be children because of this im very watered. More than a 1000000 people leave and sitting at the teapot lake its easy to travel to other countries in the region as well as other parts of the. Vaccinations in affected areas have intensified this is benny in north kivu province where there is concern that more people are getting sick theres also concern about the disease spreading to uganda Health Workers in southwest uganda vaccinating people who could come in contact with a woman who visited the market to trade a few days ago she died of a timetable the government says she did not cross a formal border point in screened this is the same region where a child tested positive for a month after his mother took him back to. The child and later died due to a death toll of more than 1600 in the past. It both got its name from the above the river and the democratic republic of congo where the virus 1st appeared in 1976 the latest outbreak there started in august and is the 10th in more than 40 years last year one that last from may to july killed at least 33 people and in 2014 at least 49 people were left dead separately the outbreak in west africa between 20142016 claimed the lives of more than 11000 people back in 2007 more than 180 people were killed 12 years earlier at least 250 died in a major outbreak. Lets bring in our guest joining us in geneva she is the International Medical secretary and Doctors Without Borders in Lancaster Derek gatherer a very early just an elector at Lancaster University and in beni the democratic republic of congo just plain he was a Community Organizer and member of a struggle for change and Civil Society organization welcome to the program to you all id like to begin with derrick gather in lancaster 1st the w. H. O. The World Health Organization have called this a emergency that is of International Concern its a rare move by them but this is now been going on since 1976 and a lot of people have asked me and id like to ask you this question perhaps is a little naive but how come we havent vaccinated this disease a way weve known about it for decades. A vaccine was developed in the 1990 s. Was a lot of concern at that time about the potential use of of a poor as a biological weapon or its used by terrorists saw the United States developed a vaccine in collaboration with several other countries and then that vaccine more or less leon used for 2 or 3 decades even until the big outbreak in west africa and it was only then that the vaccine was was taken out of the freezers and brought up to production standards saw no fortunately we have a vaccine which is able to be used in these kind of a large outbreaks but the reason why we didnt do this before was because a buller simply wasnt regarded as big enough a problem prior to the big oprah can waste africa in 20302060 so why does it become such a big problem now. Thats a very interesting question we dont really know theres no indication from any of the studies of the virus genome that anything has changed in the above a virus gene and its making it more infectious in humans it doesnt seem to have mutated in any significant way so were looking at a virus which is fairly similar to the virus weve had in 1986 and since then and yet there seems to be more opportunity know for a poor to spread within human populations it might be because theres greater Population Movement that perhaps people are coming into contact more often with with animals that may be the hosts of a ball of virus and in particular we think that by acts maybe that may be the most important host of a ball the virus perhaps or the eating of bush meat and things like that contact with animals in the forested areas it is giving more chances for the bull to cross over from its animal reservoir into human populations and were human populations of very dangerous as we see in west africa and also in this part of eastern congo near the Great Lakes Region which is that one of the most densely populated parts of the d. R. See it means that once it gets into humans in those kind of areas that can really take off and produce or white spring break let me bring in the sadies here whos from Doctors Without Borders you recently were in the democratic republic of congo just take us through what you saw there and what the challenges are for an organization like yours trying to combat this disease. Well the tunnel disorder major. What is for sure is that today one year into the outbreak. The Health Workers are still being infected. Community that are happening and on transmission nice home going it is clear that we need to. Clear up in their response and we hope that this that. Represents a major call for quantity to reset in their response let me bring in. Ben in the democratic republic of congo you are there youre a Community Organizer from what ive been reading from the people ive been speaking to one of the reasons perhaps that the outbreak has taken place is because many people are very suspicious and nationally of the vaccine to begin with then they were very suspicious about what it might do to them is that something that youve heard from people from your community. Yes you know there are many difficulties about. Break. Ive seen your face if it was about this strategy which was emblematic when great. Yeah go in baby and they should be you know because there were many strangers so people from other counties resent. Cities they came here in mind you know. Local. Population so that like you know its a. Break but. For people they came here to. Be and that was one of the return a which we met here in their fights or gas to go out. Great people are not and in not of one it was also about skip inspection how people trust not. So many people even if he does from new jersey from. So serious so states he they dont trust people exist and he too was also one of the chinese but even in that time and according to reports team was working people being started changing again today those people trust thats it what exists because you so. Are burned some of our sisters who died from a board up and it is really reading it. For people and saw. The error i know i know this is high done did beginning and thats why i feel today in mormons for those who. Which way. Out reach to me to pry strategies and. Just. From all to count 3 or me to see how people can commute to gain. In the democratic people. Let me bring in derek. Existing to a very straight question you know there was suspicion we managed to get over the suspicion of people who are now taking the vaccines but this is a question more about strategy to you it seems to me that the strategy is ring vaccinations that is you vaccinate the 1st person that came into contact with a boa and then vaccinate everybody who is has come into contact with that person one of just vaccinate everybody. That would be what we call a Mass Vaccination Program and it would require far more horses a vaccine then we recurrently have weve given a 160000. 00 is over the last 15 months or saw and on average theres about a 100 individuals that are identified as candidates for vaccination from from each case so its usually about 10 contacts and then. 10 more contacts with each of those contacts but one thing that the Public Health emergency of International Concern declaration might do is that might stimulate governments of rich countries to put money into subsidising vaccine production because if we are going to move from rain vaccination then hundreds of thousands of dollars is wont be enough were going to need millions of doses so for instance in the city of goma where theres a case arrived earlier this week which course some considerable concern but theres 2000000 people there and we would need 2000000 vaccines just to make sure that everybody in goma was vaccinated so perhaps know that the w. H. Y. Has made this announcement of a Public Health emergency we will get more vaccine produced and we might be able to move from vaccination to a Mass Vaccination Program just as we do for many other diseases in africa yellow fever and measles for instance are the subject of my specs nation programs. Agree do you think its time for a less flex with a school program. I think its time you know the rain stretched the rain back to nations strategy is so far its been nevertheless are limited due to the fact that Contact Trace and identification of cases has been far from our optimal it means that our we have to move away from. An ideal scenario where a reign stretched vaccination such as you would be are sophists and today it is proven that did this not enough in that sense we are really very much. Interested. Participate in and collaborate with the r. C. Of parties for a broadening vaccination strategy without multiple approaches that really. Correspond to the contacts that we can not be doing more of the same more of the same not managed to reduce transmission up to now in that sense are we really welcome and we think thats part of the. Stepping up the. Klein tailoring bridge sponsors which are will proof there are more efficient than what it is. Up to now just wanted to add that for any vaccination strategy with these cell fundamental and essential for their community to own response therefore having the choice regarding Vaccines Vaccination and also the care that is proposed to them. Thats in it thats an interesting point i mean bring in from benny our guest in geneva is saying that the Community Needs to do more it needs to own this program itself in these their needs be much more awareness would you like to see a Mass Vaccination Program amongst members of your community all jus rather see the strategy that as its going on at the moment this idea that if we only vaccinate people who have called the disease already and those people that come in contact with. Sure distracted you because wendy explain the meaning of that strategy for people each way its back to her those difficulties even if those who are making you know thats nation people i know its 1718 leave out sneered because they. Lost a year stowed stain on seats about whats a nation some of people for dutch vaccination nice. Some cost crises in diffusion and so if you use the tense because he does an experimental vaccination you can get some difficulties in your future and so people know its meat to be about snape d. D. 2 i know if you could tease those teams are facing gone but when. The outbreak to stick can get high and if people. Get way away about this christian and some of them are able to come. Thats nation place and ask for a full for what the nation because they saw that its one of strategies and if you even know whats taught or even if its not. Do you do strategy it is why dont all start to do with going away to. It paula and so it is very very important also to say that there are other strategies a feeling you can waste because we cant overcome it borne out we go wic we the community and thats thats why does ation on the community and to gets difficult. Needs mental the community is very important for. This struggle against it. And so some teams all reports im waking want. To see how. We can get commutes meant from. The community and how we can have those but nation to do. The work any binny boy in. Places where ease waking day. Its not limited. To face time because if its only for. Small country real people but today all people are invited to be but you need to eat and that is very one of the routes we reach evaluated. In this situation and to strangle so that young guns one strategy that has would bring in the community is very important strawson i just want to ask a question to derek in in lancaster of our religious to this question comes to you. The declaration that this is of a Public Health emergency of International Concern is very good for awareness but how about actual action theres a lot of concerns that it might be toothless that theyre not actually doing anything the everything that they know they could be doing to stop the virus the virus doesnt have any borders clearly and there is a concern the alone may be countries neighboring countries in particular will just isolate the democratic republic of congo and thats a concern in the b. H. O. As well should we be isolating the democratic republic of congo. I dont think it would be reports about even if it were desirable to attempt to isolate a country like d. R. See there are many many people that cross the borders with the neighboring countries multiple times in the course of the deal he lives and theres been an astonishing 75000000 temperatures taken at official Border Crossing points no thats not 75000000 different people that say its probably rather fewer than that but it reflects the number of Border Crossings that we see every day and all of those 75000000 readings that 21 of them have turned out to be positive for 4 of all of viruses at some point or another during the last 15 months so those are 21. 00 potential cross border transmission events that havent happened because theyve been stopped at the border with the temperature monitoring with the optical thermometers and so far weve only had one case the one that got into uganda that was confronted actually cross the border so this is quite a good strategy for preventing a ball from getting out into neighboring countries its not foolproof of course theres an enormous volume of of traffic at the border so yesterday on aljazeera you were showing some footage of hope busy those Border Crossing points out and and how difficult it is their motive work that people do temperature in want to drink have to do on the borders but so far it has worked quite well so i think that its definitely not going to happen that will isolate congo and its not desirable for the Economic Development of this part of africa that we should do so either we already has its own but just very quickly i want to follow up that question with you derek yes the it seems to be a success at the official Border Crossings but there are a number of unofficial ones of my colleague katherine soyuz report we saw somebody who had managed to get across the border and they go across the border at a place where they werent checked because it was an unofficial Border Crossing thats a concern theres no. Yes it is there also a concern that people are using unofficial Border Crossings especially people that may be may be concerned that they have a fever and would therefore not be permitted to get across and might end up in a book or Treatment Center where well the course of the fever was but isolating the border the official Border Crossings and cutting them off would just make it more likely that people would use unofficial crossings and then we would have very little control a toll over over who is crossing these border saw and thats that something which is its probably a disadvantage just one strategy that has been used is that Medical Centers course to borders have had all of their stuff vaccinated so many medical staff in in uganda and in other neighboring countries that have been vaccinated in preparation for the likelihood that the bullet case will arrive at their Medical Center and theres a great deal of work being done in preparing medical facilities where the exist in it is near the borders and in cities which are close to the borders in anticipation of cases getting through and in fact the case that got through in uganda a few weeks ago didnt result in any more spread in uganda because that preparation in uganda was actually quite good and it did manage to catch it deal with it fairly quickly. It is we are running out of time but i would like to end with you should we be isolating d. L. C. Or is there another strategy that will work better. Well its so obvious that it would be impossible and as my colleague said so i dont think we have to spend much time and much on the contrary it can be absolutely counterproductive and risk soon measures restricting movements and. Measures can only. Increase mr mistrust from the community and therefore for afford the affected communities to be on the contrary far from trusting in the care that can be provided by but idea by the medical teams and the under response are for the outbreaks all i would say very strongly that. Its not conducive and counterproductive in our point of view id like to thank all our guests miss a visa taytay derek gatherer and more he was and thank you too for watching and you can see the program again any time by visiting our website aljazeera dot com and for further discussion go to our Facebook Page thats facebook dot com forward slash a.
