The un agency declared the latest outbreak 0 an International Health emergency on wednesday a rare designation that is only used in severe accident at the demick says more than 1600 people or so far died from a bowler in diyala congo within the past year the physical therapy or physio therapy as its also known is considered a luxury in ethiopia there are very few therapists available to treat the 10s of millions of people but even then not all of them are qualified leah harding reports from the capital addis ababa. Rebecca nya deck lost her legs in a land mine explosion shes a refugee from south sudan and was sent to add as a buffer physical therapy treatment now after 2 years shes learning to walk again but when we came to ethiopia they welcomed us we came because of the crisis now were waiting to learn how to use these artificial limbs this is the 2nd time for me to come here. Ethiopias physical Therapy Program is just Getting Started and the demand is staggering with an estimated 105000000 people in the country there are only 7000 doctors a physical therapy but give an example here was one of the 1st the hands of program started in 2002 in going to enlist and i was among. The students to you know into this program and after 10 years or in it took them down to the stockton program i was also the fattest to go to this program so for sure i feel like playing at the school fish and 3 doctors a physical therapy work at this clinic in alice abbott and treat patients like rebecca others are scattered across the country as of now theyre graduates from the 1st and only doctor class in ethiopia Mohammed Hussein is another patient he had a stroke and relies on his rehab to move again. Who thought he knew i suffer from this and was shocked when i found out there was physical therapy here i thought it was a luxury not this i feel awful thats one. Of the services here are free paid for by the government but when we visited there were a few patients getting help at the clinic. One of the Biggest Challenges with physical therapy in ethiopia is lack of awareness most people dont even know that facilities like this exists but even if they did there still arent enough therapists to treat everyone and this is a misconception existed in most parts of you know because not only physical therapy you can see that what we have to since obviously is considered a luxury some of the physically disabled are often reduced to begging at times relying on their disability to make money even though ethiopias physical Therapy Program is relatively new its still more developed than in neighboring countries many patients from south sudan sudan and eritrea rely on the facilities here to gain their life back for rebecca her new legs mean she can get around in the refugee camp where she lives part of her treatment is learning how to walk on an even ground similar to the surfaces in the camp during the time when i didnt have these legs i was just sitting at home with no place to go because i had no mobility progress on a National Level is slow going but for patients here it comes one step at a time leon harding aljazeera at us africa.

We are challenging the forces with challenging companies who are going to places where nobody else is going. A world war 2 of our trade is a trade dispute in 2019 japan and south korea remain at loggerheads over the forced labor controversy of more than 70 years ago so why has it come to the fore now and how can it be resolved this is inside story. Hello and welcome to the program im fully back a rift is deepening between south korea and japan over what happened during the 2nd world war japan as occupiers of the Korean Peninsula force koreans into work the issue has always stirred up deep emotions but tension has recently escalated a south korean man set himself on fire outside the Japanese Embassy in seoul on friday his death followed japans ban on some exports to south korea imposed after a court ruled that japanese firms should compensate the victims of forced labor japans foreign minister summoned the south Korean Ambassador when seoul rejected a proposal for arbitration with a fed country. Its very regrettable that an arbitrator or 3rd country arbitration has not been set up in addition i strongly urge the south korean government to take immediate steps to correct this by ablation of International Law that drew a strong response from south korea. Which it was japan to violated International Law by committing on humanitarian illegal acts a Supreme Court ruling pointed out that funds also japan has continued to demand a resolution of this issue through operations to settle problems concerning property and claims but we never agreed with the unilateral deadline set by japan switch. So how did we get here well relations between the 2 countries have been fractious for decades since japan occupied the Korean Peninsula between 1911945 but things came to a head last year in october south koreas top Court Ordered Japanese Companies to compensate koreans who were forced to work for japanese occupies during world war 2 japan said the issue had already been settled under a 965 treaty n threatened visa restrictions in tabs then this month japan restricted exports of 3 chemicals vital to south koreas Electronics Industry citing National Security concerns so far so hasnt taken any Counter Measures saying it would raise a dispute with the World Trade Organization but sums koreans are taking the matter into their own hands and boycotting japanese products. Well lets bring in our guest now for todays inside story joining us by skype from tokyo is Tomohiko Taniguchi who is a special advisor to the cabinet of japanese Prime Minister shinzo abbay in Hong Kong Robert kept director of the Economist Corporate Network and by skype from stuttgart in germany he wont call who is a publisher of the korean expose an online news magazine that focuses on contemporary south korea welcome to the program gentlemen thank you so much for being with us mr taniguchi if i could start with you in tokyo japan said its restricting exports of soft korea because of National Security what exactly are japans consequence sones and what is at the core of this dispute. These 3 materials that you cited. Extremely important because they are potentially going to be used for dual purposes one civilian and the military. Given the sensitivity south korea and tokyo. Made consultation mechanism at work. One has to say that the hasty fashion that the south korean. Customers use the japanese to provide them with materials ending up with. Breaching of the regime that we are all after i mean south korea and japan are after and consists arguably a source of security concerns as you mention mrs on who she is a japanese moved to restricts exports from south korea not retaliation for the south korean course ruling that allowed access of Japanese Companies to be seas and used to compensate victims of the wartime forced labor is that not retaliation these 2 are completely separate issues because the export control regime is strictly and the japanese government decisions and it is as a result by nature a domestic decision as has been the case with many other exporters exporting some sensitive materials materials to other countries such as south korea ok lets hear from c. One cor in should guard misses on a gucci says the japanese move is a separate issue he has nothing to do with the Court Rulings in south korea would you agree with that what the pens the tensions outside south korea is concerned. Well this is i mean the line that we have heard from the administer russians or. The export restriction has nothing to do wed be developing in south korea or one Japanese Company should do we regard to compensating victims or forced laborers during the cool new york area as far as the government in seoul is concerned and thats far as the public is concerned these 2 are completely related netters and the timing is most extraordinary in fact a measure has taken the government is owed play by surprise and we have not really seen any official measure current from the government yet but of course situation only gets worse by today and unfortunately the damage to the right of relations is going to be quite extraordinary japans position is that the issue of compensation was addressing the 1965 treaty that normalize relations between the 2 country and so japan already gave millions hundreds of millions in aids and knowns to south korea why is it coming to the fore now what is that issue for south korea. We have to accept that there has been a significant change on the great Political Landscape 2 years ago we had a new president elected when doing and one of his Campaign Promises was actually to revisit the agreement between japan and korea to address the issue called for women it was supposed to be final when the remark was signed in 2050 but probably opposition to this was quite significant the government quite mean so it has taken a harder line of the issue and they have maintained that they will not see what dave or seemed to be a turn by the minute minister who are the more right wing tendencies not just over the issue of wartime crimes but also over the issue of political or attack issue not on the rocks between korea and japan that have been disputed by the 2 countries for quite some time all right Robert Kaplan talk about the economic implications of this dispute the us china trade war has already resulted in quite a lot of negative shocks for asian trade flows do you think this dispute between the other 2 big economies of the region has the potential to escalate into another trade war. Would certainly has the beginnings of what its worth pointing out that actually south korea and japan had been suffering from. Impact of the us to a trade war because they are very much integrated in this Global Supply chain which is centered around china or has been and so when the tariffs are put on chinese exports in fact its south korea taiwan and japan very significantly the high tech area that feed into that so theyve already been suffering and now they have this dispute brewing i guess the one Silver Lining to this is the export controls involve a review period so theres like a 90 day window from which the 2 sides might be able to reach some sort of resolution but if there isnt a solution to the impasse im afraid it could make a bad situation much worse japanise said it may escalate measures in august how far can they actually take this especially given that japans exports have been falling because of the us china trade war is his thing. Well thats the interesting thing so currently we look at these very specialized components they represent about one percent of the value of japans exports to south korea so things Like Hydrogen fluoride are very important to south korean chip manufacturers and Panel Manufacturers but they are very important to japans export base but if indeed they start ratcheting up tension not only were their own companies of course suffer as a consequence just as by the way American Companies in consumer suffer under tariffs that are just increasing the cost of inputs from china but theres another factor that needs to be considered in that is south korea might start retaliating and so it you know this is where you get whats known as a tit for tat trade war and if things get more and more heated around the cations for those 2 economies and the Global Economy could become bigger and bigger mr taniguchi japan says it may escalate the measures will it go as far as removing south korea from its list of preferred trading pardons perhaps the list you were just referred to in some list that listed 29 countries with which japan has given blanket. Blanket. Permission when it comes to exporting sensitive materials to the importance but south korea has been the only and sole nation in the entire part of asia that japan has maintained this arrangement over the last 15 years European Union has given no such permission out right south to south korea japan has given no such permission to other mens members of asia so south korea is going to return back to where it was 2004 and in addition no ban whatsoever no ban whatsoever either about the 3 sensitive materials. Or the future in the future other materials is going to be imposed upon japans export its going to make the process slow and cumbersome if you like but thats the one. Any country is having with any other country. The economic aspect of this relationship has been the glue supporting political cooperation between south korea and japan until now to what extent koreas domestic politics complicating the situation and do you think there is a certain willingness domestically to improve things with japan. No i would say this is very unlikely the timing of the situation is most unfortunate because korea already was feeling the pressure from the trade war between china and the us and there was a lot of henry meager messick really over what the government could do to improve the Business Climate and then came this will by japan and building on the existing n. T. Chip and the sentiment in korea which is very widespread its put tremendous pressure on the government to not yield to any demand by the ministration that the government has said it is open to diplomatic negotiations or compromise that if theyre open to diplomatic negotiations as you say why did they reject 3rd Party Arbitration where there is certainly the danger that if better goes to a 3rd party. Am i not kept it willing that it wants it is also the case with this situation or talked at all or. Which south korea effectively controls and japan has increasingly asserted that should be returned to its control and in japanese that calls for 3rd Party Administration or at least the case with the International Court of justice to result is what this is an issue that South Koreans said not interested in pursuing arava kept which side is suffering the most and which side will suffer the most states this is not resolved japan a south korea. Well currently it would be south koreas war exposed because its manufacturers are so dependent on those Specialty Materials from japan its worth pointing out japan is not the only source but it is the primary source it has the right quality that these manufacturers rely on and its already integrated in their supply chains however. It could be that japan ends of suffering again if this starts to escalate one thing that for example south korea has thats very important japan is tourists its the 2nd largest source of tourists to japan after china which by the way is another country where there is often these political flare ups of a cultural historical nature so in that sense the japanese economy which is increasingly Service Based is in fact exposed and could suffer. As you heard they if japan is if south korea rather is not able to get its resources a resource this way is Technology Industry is not able to talk to japan it opens the door to other supplies like china for instance and this could backfire on japan could it not. Because this is not for south koreas this is not based on the concerns about south koreas domestic are not because to me it is about the japanese domestic regime for export control if indeed south korean the companies are going to find other sources well that somewhat does south korea and the companies should decide on and thats a totally up to the south Korean Companies but when it comes to the export control regime that the japanese government minister has that is what does this happen hes government is going to look after so what will it take for the japanese government to roll to roll back the export restriction. There the console taishan mechanism is very much a linchpin for these 2 nations to push to continue having some ongoing economic and trade relationships especially about sensitive matters that could be put into do all use but one has to point out that out consultation mechanism has not been. Working the design of which. Urges these took these 2 countries to and so thats something that both come countries have to work on but the ball currently is on the court of the South Koreans ok c one call that a good she says the ball is on the court on the side of south korea what is it going to take for south korea for the tensions to deescalate. Well we hear about consultation in ism or misuse of materials and all that but ultimately everybody recognizes this issue comes down to how a south korean government will address the Key Court Ruling that is essentially exposed Japanese Companies that operate it we korea and they were forcing the bill in your period to a potential compensation claims and as far as the government in solar is concerned it cannot really do anything as i said before the Public Opinion is against japan and its against yielding to japanese demands and the kind of consumer boy caught that was referred to by the commentator in hong kong this is a very likely possibility were starting to see a growing movement of consumers which is not led by any particular Interest Group calling for a boycott of travel to japan and also a boycott of Japanese Companies and japanese products and the rhetoric only starts to grow by the day right so youre saying that there are political benefits domestically to go up to continue down this road for south korea even though it helps the country anomic. Thats another way to see it South Koreans also believe that mr abbott is playing this partly for his old political gain in the run up to his all election and at the same time in south korea this can be of benefit to the government which was suffering from a falling Approval Ratings it is facing its all Election Campaign next spring and it needed of course to a support group of support for its own party and i am not saying that this is being done intentionally but certainly it does play to the benefit of the Current Administration ok your response missed a ton of virtue before i bring back robert cap into the conversation and many in south korea believe that the project hes Prime Minister shinzo lobby is going down this road for political gain what is your response. Well it may sound as if it is the case but the truth of the matter is that decisions taken by the japanese government of late about the export restriction or the strict implementation of the export control regime have been backed by 7080 percent of the people polled so it is not so much parties on as an issue and i have to say that all of those conflicts and differences of interpretation must be solved in accordance with the basic treaty that the 2 nations forged with each other and there is a clearly written consultation and conflict solving mechanism and south korea and court and the government have chosen to pay absolutely no attention to the basic treaty and the basic treaty treaty has been the very foundation legally speaking upon which the bilateral relationship has flourished to the extent that you now see now and one final thing i should say is doubt in the broadest context korean labor could not find any other places to work for during the war time but the companies doubt employed those laborers paid money to those people and those people who failed to get money tearing compensation during all time. Able to get compensation from the south korean government because they saw in such a way to nations chose to go ahead in 1965 but that shocked history is being opened. Again and again see one car get you to respond on this question an issue of compensation a 2nd but i just want to bring robert back into the conversation and talk about the u. S. Robot which says it has no plan to mediate between its 2 our allies should they get involved though i mean would it be not in the u. S. Interest to try and broker some sort of agreement between japan and south korea because this could play well into chinas hand your analysis is correct but lets not forget what current u. S. Administration were talking about of the presidency of donald trump regardless of what one thinks of the gentleman is not known for its diplomatic finesse i always say granted he has taken a personal interest in a certain Korean Leader and he seems to get along well with scenes ave and the u. S. Has indeed a vital interest in seeing both japan and south korea get along especially as you mentioned so maybe that will come about currently the u. S. Response has been we want to stay out of it but we want you to solve it and theyre hoping its to chief allies in not only asia when you think about but indeed principally within the world given the tensions that are going on both through china and north korea certainly the u. S. Must be thinking it would be great if this issue could be settled and have one less problem on the global sphere to deal with and how does the dispute benefit china and north korea. Well it benefits both those adversarial powers vs a v the us viewpoint. Because in fact you have won a distraction to other issues in 2 you dont have any sort of unified front so north korea actually more than any pressure from the us has faced either some form of could joleen or or attempt to bring a resolution to the issues across the 38th parallel from both seoul and tokyo so those have been 2 principal actors in north koreas position in asia of course the other key actor there is china backing north korea the japanese and Korean South Korean interests have been trying to bring north korea around to a more global way of thinking but there is that and theres also again just the fact that china can thrive in this atmosphere of divisiveness and play cards you can either try to get better relations going to japan or south korea or threaten either to its own ends this divisiveness simply is not in u. S. Interests or in the interests of its allies so in that sense its been a fitting adversaries more than allies i see wont go into it got to have the last word your response to mr taniguchi on the issue of the question of compensation and also what does it come down to as far south korea is concerned is it just an apology that south korea wants. Perhaps indeed although the japanese government was apology has been given we talk about compensation and of course money is very important but the heart of the matter is not money its about sincerity their way that the japanese government has maintained or years and decades that the matters of historical significance have encircled this is what offends the sensibility in south korea and more broadly in china in other parts of asia as well. What a korean probably wants to see is a kind of sincere apology and contrition the kind of which you often see from the German Government with regard to its own wartime crimes but this is certainly not whats been seen from japan and thats what really continues to fuel this kind of culture of r. C.
