form a coalition government. and nearly half a 1000000 people sign up for free coronavirus testing in hong kong but it's also stirring up controversy. and we begin in lebanon where most of id has just been named as prime minister designate and tasked with forming a new government the ambassador to germany one support from several parties including the future movement and the shia bloc hezbollah. he has lost even that. there is no room for woods and promises it's time for us to join hands and restore hope among lebanese albany's appending high hopes on this and we hope we will be successful we want to restore hope and get back on our feet for the benefit of our country i have accepted this task because i'm a we and all the political fictions are we're all the gravity of the situation and in the c.c.c. to immediately implement reforms. ok let's bring in zain a quarter who is live for us in beirut zain why was it that most of all i did manage to garner so much support. well there are 2 reasons yesterday he emerged as a consensus candidate to different political factions from across lebanon's divided political landscape they agreed that this is the man who is going to head the next government but what we understand is that there was a lot of pressure from behind the scenes a main power broker in this ongoing political crisis in lebanon trying and persuading lebanese politicians to move ahead to form a government that is ready to carry out much needed reforms to unlock aid and to reach a bailout plan with the international monetary fund we heard must say the right things he's promising a swift formation of a government he's promising to carry out reforms sees even saying that his cabinet is going to be made up of experts we heard that from the previous prime minister have found him when he took office a few months ago but this time around yes both these men have sandia was the they have been appointed by the political establishment an establishment which has governing this country for decades and establishment many people do not have faith in but unlike has sandia he has the support of the majority of the parliamentarians and on like have found here he seems to have the support of the international community which could make it easier for him to push ahead with much needed reforms and then of course it doesn't matter essentially who gets into the prime minister's fault the problems that lebanon is facing remain the same and it's an uphill battle from here. what. a lot of challenges this country was close to collapse before the august or 4th explosion which destroyed and damaged many neighborhoods in the lebanese capital billions of dollars are needed to rebuild the homes and people's lives the before that to the economy has been run to the ground the currency the exchange rate has plummeted the price of food rising unemployment is rising according to the united nations 55 percent of the population of $5000000.00 people live below the poverty line those in power the political establishment are being blamed for years of corruption and mismanagement and that's why the international community is telling them there will be no blank checks you have to agree on reforms you have to fight corruption or else you're not getting the money so at the end it seems that those in power realize that this is their last chance and they may at least cooperate more than they were intending to do in the 1st place center thanks for margins and a whole to life for us and beirut. sudan's government has signed a peace deal and ending any 20 years of conflict agreement has been reached between rebel groups and the transitional government neighboring south sudan mediated the deal. nearly a year after the start of talks to dance transitional government and the opposition coalition the sudanese revolutionary front are signing a peace deal the administration made ending conflict across an extent priority and it's hoped this will help achieve it in the city on the promise of the me we are glad that we managed to achieve a milestone regarding achieving peace in sudan we know there are other factions that say yes to sign and we hope there will be another ranch negotiate with these groups peace is the most important thing we have for the decisional period and without it all the talks about democratic concision economic developments is not possible so we see this as a 1st step to the dance incision leading up to this deal agreements have been signed by other groups that make up the sudanese revolutionary front each are presenting a different region in sudan the groups some armed oppose the previous government of ahmed bashir who was overthrown in april last year they say their regions have long been marginalized the new deal will give a role in the transitional government and hand over more power to local governments it also paves the way for the formation of a transitional legislative assembly the deal mediated by south sudan would also restarts the dance of 39 month transitional period. we affirm the commitment of south sudan and sudan's journey to peace because sudan peace is south sudan's peace there are still 2 more groups that are yet to sign a deal and we will continue on the issue of peace until there is a comprehensive peace in sudan we don't want any more war in dar for negotiations to end the conflict in the western region of darfur has taken the longest the war there began in 2003 and has resulted in the deaths of 300000 people and the displacement of 2000000 the forces of the armed groups will be integrated into the sudanese army reparations will be. paid to those affected by the conflict and those displaced will be allowed to return home and. we've been in these came since 2004 we want the conflict in so we can go back to our. home but we've not been properly consulted on the deal that's taking place all represented and so we concerned it may not hold. the deal is not the 1st attempt at peace in sudan's conflict zones but sudan's transitional government and the sudanese revolutionary front say this time there's a political will to make it last. well hable morgan is live for us in khartoum so there may be the political will to make this last but how confident are people in the country itself that any sort of deal is actually going to be doable. well rob there are concerns about how this how long this peace deal will hold because this is not the 1st peace agreement that has been signed between rebel factions and the sudanese government but it is the 1st agreement to be signed between the current transitional government which is just a year old and the various rebel groups to be able to reach this deal what the government did with the transitional government it is divide the members of the sudanese revolutionary forces into tracks into the regions that they represent in sudan so we have places like states like new nile state and southward to find which will be granted self autonomy asper the deal and they have their wealth will be shared between the sudanese transitional government and the local government we also have a forces from darfur that will be integrated into the national army as well as forces from the other parts of the country that have been fighting the decision these government they will be reintegrated throughout the transitional period which is set to restart now that this peace deal is concerned but we've spoken to military experts and they say that they are concerns about how that integration process would go along because throughout the period of the conflict in darfur there were many splinter groups coming out from the main groups in darfur so there are concerns that because there were so many splinters because there are so many differences between the darfur groups itself some of them happening during the peace talks that were going on in south sudan their concerns about how the security arrangements and the issue of integration would go along so they are concerns about how fast. the speed deal will materialize how soon we will see the people actually implementing what has been signed and how willing all sides are because there were there were talks of. the formation of the legislative assembly some people saying that they want more representation and the people here in sudan are regarding that some of the movements are actually out for power and not for the cause but the biggest concerns comes from people in the refugee camps some of them say they have not been properly consulted they say they don't know the contents of the deal but they do know that they will be getting reparations and this will pave the way for them to return home so they're waiting to see how that deal would be implemented so that they can go back to their own lives here morgan bring us up to date from courtroom here both thank you very much indeed. the mayor of portland has accused president

programme imes to address a recent spike in community transmissions and also did people peace of mind opposition groups and some in the medical community so i'm. yes testing is not the most cost effective solution i don't go against testing but i really think that testing should be tackett testing should be targeted to those who have symptoms testing should be targeted to doe's with close contact with a convo in cases hong kong has reported more than 4 and a half 1000 coronavirus cases so far this mess testing program may identify moon fictions but with a memento thora he's leading the
