Thank you for joining us i mean hes always outbreak is feared to have killed hundreds of man people in indonesias eastern pa province Officials Say sixty nine children have died but Church Leaders estimate the death toll to be much higher a correspondent stepped bosn and her team gains rare access to some of those forgotten villages in one of the most remote regions of the world they took a commercial flight from the capital jakarta to get through to me in poplar province from to make the team took a small plane to get to a guy thats they then travelled by boat through the river inlet and into the jungle to get from i gots to the tot and thats now speak to stand in who joins us live from my god shes in a church that is now being used as a makeshift hospital set a pretty challenging and long journey that you made to get to this remote region of indonesia tell us about what you saw when you arrived. Well heartbreaking scenes in this village toll remote up river and basically a chose that its very challenging also for the military police and all these Health Officials to get through these very remote settlements and you can even call this villages these things are basically cattlemans of people who are still semi nomadic they live in the forests a few months every year still to find through their lives off first aagot palm trees most of the time but now they also spend time in the villages and what we see is a very very Severe Health situation we saw a lot of very skinny children malnourished children but what also was striking is that especially the moderates are very malnourished as well so basically these babies many of them are already born malnourished and of course concerning the fact that theres hardly any food in that area the babies will not recover from that situation but basically has happened is that the us much right is losing rapidly its tradition to list automated lists of the forest and now theyre basically stuck in the settlement and not knowing what to do with this modern food that has been reaching the area and we went to this particular village where one of the hardest hit i can say which children has died over the last couple of weeks and of course we found a very sad situation people felt very much left alone and still until this moment no medical help has arrived for them as you can see in our report. The land of the smart spread across a vast jungle delta only reachable by boat a challenge in journey most outsiders prefer to avoid. Assert that a settlement in the middle of dense forest we are welcomed by grieving parents dozens of topless died after their malnourished bodies didnt survive a Measles Outbreak a doctor has yet to visit the remote village. I mean by youre having a lives have become so hard we need a doctor to come here the government in jakarta has to help us because the local government has never visited us a Government HealthDepartment Spokesman has said stuff are working with very limited resources and theyre trying very hard to help the people are threatened by a lack of medical care and address to change in lifestyle to find food they used to spend months in the forest. And they used to eat sagbo from palm trees and drink natural water but since the government opened district offices here everything has changed instant food and Energy Drinks entity area but the us most people dont know these things are bad for them. While some smart women go through the long process to prius psagot we find children eating uncooked instant noodles and the baby drinking instant coffee while the children have been dying these are not people are left on their own far away from any doctor or government officials who dont make the effort to make the long and difficult journey only a strong government commitment to reach out to these poor papa one can help to prevent another tragedy. To handle the Health CrisisCatholic Church workers are handing out food to Young Children and give how the vice tomatoes many of them are malnourished as well. But the us must cant continue to live on donations of food aid forever to survival depends on their ability to revive traditions and the willingness of the government to really help and guide them. Well the government has now declared a medical emergency unpresident ial can we go to has established a special task force consisting of the military and police the go into this far reaching areas but its very rare for us to have this kind of access have a lot of people here are very worried that journalists are going to be gone and also medical teams will be gone that they will be left alone again and that people will be forgotten so whats happening now is that people are being brought in from the villages to this church basically because the village here act is already off loaded with patients with children in very bad conditions but they will have to go home eventually and the big question will be then who is going to take care of them don thank you very much for that report steadfast and i for a singer got seen indonesia. In other world news egypt should military has detained his former chief of staff just days after he said he will run for president in the elections scheduled in march sami anon has been seen as a main challenger to president Abdel Fattah Sisi but hes now called off his campaign mama jam june has the details. Just days after year nouns to his candidacy in his countrys upcoming president ial elections egypts military has arrested former Egyptian Armed forces chief of staff sami. In a televised statement the military said imam committed violations when he announced his president ial bid without obtaining permits from the armed forces hes also accused of committing forgery to be included in the voter database there are two explanations for this one is that he actually miscalculated the level of support that he has within the military institution and within the security and his so within the pollen institutions the second one is not mistaken a decision he expected to step and this is not the end of the story you probably see something a counter reaction on his part or on the part of his loyalists so its still too early to tell im an announced his intention to run hours after current president of the fatah has sisi declared his plan to seek a second term even before sisi made his candidacy official it wasnt just widely assumed that sisi would prevail in the march elections it was also widely expected that real opposition to sisi was likely to be thin on the ground potential candidates have either already withdrawn or seen their candidacy while. Some have blamed an atmosphere of fear to other president ial hopefuls were forced to quit the race earlier this month. One of them said that the nephew of former leader on what he said last week he wanted to protect his Campaign Workers from intimidation or arrest another former Prime Minister and air force general ahmed shafik had also announced his interest in running but he was placed under house arrest before being deported from the United Arab Emirates where hed been living in exile according to his lawyers was detained as soon as he landed in cairo and then there is Egyptian Army colonel ahmed consul in december he was sentenced by a military court to six years in prison after he announced his plans to run for president leaving many to wonder just how serious a threat the military men may have posed to sisi a former military chief of staff said not only is somebody with hes a serious contender he was the former chief of stuff the deputy head of the Supreme Council of the own forces did with the body of them a lot of and he is much senior into those of the military command and in sisi so hes somebody who is very well connected with the americans very well connected with unity so hes not someone who is a lightweight anyway during ccs rule which has been marked by a crackdown on freedom of expression human Rights Groups have been placed under severe restrictions and many critics in the media have been silenced the question now how many more president ial candidates will be added to a seemingly growing list of those being suppressed. Well lets have a look at sami a nonce background he became chief of staff of the gyptian military in two thousand and five under former president Hosni Mubarak in twenty levon and during the gyptian revolution he worked closely with u. S. Officials including james mattis the current u. S. Defense secretary but just a year later former president Mohamed Morsy forced him to resign and on eventually formed his own Political Party tag masood is a professor at the Harvard Kennedy school of government in the u. S. He says sami anon has many allies who could help him. Semi i meant clearly has loyalist supporters within the military establishment its inconceivable that he would have decided to run for the presidency without having some backers within the military so the question is how will those people respond so i do think that its too early to say that and then candidacy has been nipped in the bud but we are clearly and its clear that the regime has indicated its anxiety about i meant candidacy and well see now what happens in the coming days in what must be a negotiating process between and then in the military his candidacy announcement indicated that he thought that ccs policies were bad that the military was being asked to bear too much of the burden of governing egypt that in fact there did need to be a cooperation between the civilian and the military forces so certainly he talked an oppositional game in that brief period where he was allowed to speak but its too much to i would say right now to call him an opposition candidate but certainly challengers to see see what opportunities that they see this is a president whose popularity has declined significantly as a result of many of the tough economic decisions that hes made the most notable of which was the floating of the egyptian pound more than about a year ago which saw the the pound plummet to Something Like eight hundred pounds per u. S. Dollar and that has certainly been felt by a lot of egyptians particularly middle class egyptians in their pocketbooks in addition sisi has pared back subsidies and done all kinds of other things that i think were actually necessary for the egyptian economy but did not do him any favors in terms of his popularity and the u. S. State department has reacted spokeswoman had a new act says the u. S. As a way of his detention. We are following these reports we know hes spent considerable time in the United States so where were certainly familiar with him we support a timely and credible electoral process and believe it needs to include the opportunity for citizens to participate freely in egyptian elections we believe that that should include addressing restrictions on freedom of Association Peaceful Assembly and also expression. The United Nations says an estimated five thousand people have been displaced by turkeys military offensive against kurdish fighters in the african region of syria. The operation which involves shelling and strikes is set to enter its fifth day its believed around eight hundred thousand civilians are living there activists say at least twenty three civilians have been killed so far now frayne is surrounded by turkish and Free Syrian Army forces to the north east and west and Syrian Government forces to the south its believed most of those fleeing of charging through a government held territory to an enclave inside aleppo city thats controlled by Kurdish Forces meanwhile at least twenty one people have suffered breathing problems after an alleged chemical attack on a rebel held enclave mysterious capital damascus the syrian observatory for human rights has accused the government of being behind me attack it says white smoke was released after Syrian Forces fired a barrage of rockets into the neighborhood of duma the attack prompted warning sign the International Community diplomats from twenty Nine Countries have met in paris to push for sanctions and criminal charges against those responsible for similar attacks and the United NationsSecurity Council has met to discuss chemical weapons and the situation in syria Christian Salome reports from new york. Russia called this last minute Security Council meeting on the issue of chemical weapons in syria to defend itself against attacks coming from the United States alleging that russia was ultimately responsible for ongoing Chemical Attacks in syria because it had failed to authorize ongoing investigations by the u. N. Into those attacks the u. S. And Russian Ambassador were quite friendly on their way into the meeting but once the meeting took off into formal statements they went on the attack the russians say they are all for accountability in syria when it comes to chemical weapons but. Past investigations they said were unscientific and politically motivated those past investigations found evidence that syria and ice will both have used chemical weapons syria of course denies that they have used chemical weapons russia suggested that the recent attack being talked about and Eastern Ghouta was actually being manufactured or somehow exploited by the west. Does not seem strange to anybody that this alleged episode the veracity of which is yet to be confirmed or perpetrators yet to be identified for some reasons converges with the meeting in paris in the forthcoming Syrian National dialogue in sochi when russia does not like the facts they try and distract the conversation thats because the facts come back over and over again to the truth russia wants to hide that the assad regime continues to use chemical weapons against its own people russia also announced its putting forward a new proposal to address chemical weapons used in syria but the United Kingdom pointed out in its remarks that past proposals undermine the councils attend to hold the government of syria accountable said focusing on nonstate actors like i saw clearly this will be a problem Going Forward something that will have to be negotiated the United States for its part said that it would not accept any proposal that undermines its ability to get at the truth. Should a head on aljazeera Pakistani Police make an arrest over the matter of seven year old the scene happened sorry. The first member of Donald Trumps cabinet is question over a possible collusion between the u. S. President s campaign and russia.
