Thank you very much for joining us egypt says its seeking urgent clarification from ethiopia about whether it has started to feel the reservoir of africas largest dam on the blue nile if hell be in state television reported on wednesday that the failing of the grand renaissance dam had to be gotten the 5000000000. 00 project is a centerpiece of ethiopias bid to become africas biggest power exporter egypt and sudan fear reduce Water Supplies downstream and didnt want the river downed until they reach an agreement with ethiopia last month egypt told the un that it faces an existential threat from the dam John Stratford reports on the complex regional politics surrounding the project. Which she continues to build and cost close to 5000000000. 00 if you know peace friendship Infrastructure Project is a great source of national pride. But the grand ethiopian renaissance dam on the blue nile has caused tension with downstream countries sudan and egypt from the start be coping government says the hydroelectric dam is vital for the development of this immense landlocked country which is a population of around 108000000 the country plans to expulsion kristie across the region and says the dam will stop seasonal flooding in neighboring sudan. But egypt says there are a number of outstanding legal issues that need resolving and filling the reservoir too quickly could reduce its water supply and may pose an existential threat agent does have legitimate concerns i mean that egypt relies on the nile for 90 percent of its fresh water needs and the largest share of the river runs through each region or tree and what we have has had in egypt is a situation where they have a significant gap between the amount they produce and the amount of water they can shoot. And with a rapidly growing population of over 100000000. To this problem only getting worse ethiopia also has strong claims because its the source of the blue nile the largest of the river gnarls tributaries ethiopia was never included in a colonial era agreement between egypt and sudan the gives the lions share of water to egypt there are many highly balance calculations including internal political ones that reply you know if you go granny the other big you have i me out an ad hoc incumbent power in 2018 he wants to secure his position and you know be reelected in future elections in your area in egypt you are president sisi with you know an economy that has had been struggling but also he needs to ensure that he has the continued backing of the military establishment country which of course has an Important Role in the. Economy. In late june ethiopia rejected a u. N. Security Council Meeting requested by egypt saying the council should not be involved at all ethiopias un on bassa said the dispute should be solved at a regional Level African Union talks hosted by Science Africa failed to forge agreement earlier that months in february the us and the world bank mediated what it hoped would be a road map on how to proceed with final technical and legal issues which concerned egypt in particular but he did not sign of the final document ethiopia always said that it would have preferred agreement before it begins to fill the reservoir but if that wasnt possible it would go ahead anyway it has potential huge security implications for the entire region ethiopia accuses egypt have repeatedly dragging its feet over the issue of filling the reservoir something it says egypt knew would be inevitable one day Charles Trafford ill just. Lets bring in our van hours covered this story extensively for as theres been reaction mahmoud from egypt the site fully egypt is in front of a very historic moment. And its particularly crucial and particularly important for president. In many assessments no other president since the egyptian revolution in 1902 has faced this situation this is not a war this is not like a war with israel this is the survival of egypt or posed to the prosperity of the choppier so you can see the danger and the historicity of this moment for the 2 countries egypt can survive and. You can prosperity and there and the dispute is over one river that they share and it is a moment when they really either have to to agree on. Something or its going to be you know its going to be dangerous for the whole region so that in between or so is concerned bitter because it is afraid that this is going to affect its water share or they are also afraid technically of any any any problem in the dam itself that any flooding that is not controlled can destroy cities in the sudan so the 2 countries have. Very serious concerns about the dam if it goes on if the feeling goes on without agreement between the 2 countries so sudan that has been rather closer to the. Position is now going to words the egyptian position showing more concern no longer condoning a unilateral decision by each opiate to fill the dam the 2 countries egypt in particular has said that it will approach the un it has done that in the past i think in the last month it did not give the results that egypt wants now they will go again as they say and the only. That is clear for egypt now is tough a negotiation zwar pressure on each oprah via the un. American allies. It doesnt look like there is anything else they can do they have in the past there was talk about you know many years ago there was talk about egypt to go in any length you know thinking about any options but right now i mean they have and they are right about it really briefly tell us about the significance of the timing of this announcement by ethiopia why would the government go ahead and start filling the dam now before having reached an agreement with the age of 10 saddam. We know that. Been planning it has been planning to start filling the the dams result who are doing the the present rainy season when it starts so they have been talking about that nonstop and they have apparently you know fulfilled that promise to the children people but on the other hand people will think you know observers were thinking and even sudan and egypt or were also expecting that egypt it would go ahead and start filling the dancers of war without an agreement between the 2 countries so its it doesnt come as a surprise for the chop hughes who have been waiting for it and what its a surprise for international you know Public Opinion powers particularly the sudanese and the egyptians because they were thinking that the chopper wouldnt there take this step without without an agreement with them so there is a double you know situation here politically domestically in each opiah its an amazing decision its a historic decision courageous and good for the country but internationally speaking its a its a very very dangerous move. For the security of the region thank you for that moment valve in doha for us oil as you heard there from hamad sudan stands to benefit from the projects through access to cheap electricity and reduce flooding but it also has race years over the dams operation our correspondent morgan is on sudans lake noby hour with more. Filling of the dam is of great concern to both sudan and egypt because the dams capacity alone is twice the size or rather the capacity of the blue line which contributes more than 80 percent of the niles water so dan has repeatedly expressed concern over the impact of the dam and its safety on sudanese dams and Water Resources it says that its worried about the safety of the operations of the ground if you bring in his own stem especially because if you is yet to provide any guarantees its also worried about the impact it will have on water bodies downstream now one of those places where we will see an impact of the feeling is right here on lake newbie or as its much more commonly known lake nasir this is a lake that is created by the reservoir of the aswan high dam in egypt and most of the body of this lake is on the egyptian territory but this part which is about 20 percent lies on sudanese territory lots of fishermen and lots of farmers rely on this water body to be able to make a living and theyre saying that theyre concerned because this leak is largely reliant on the amount of water that flows into it and into the amount of water that is released by the egyptian dam so should egypt release a lot of water by the from behind dam and should there be a reduction in the amount of water that is flowing into the lake the size of the lake is likely to significantly reduce and that would have an impact on the livelihoods of people who are living here in the health and fishing and farming on the on the shores of lake so lots of concerns by sudan of course and also concerns by egypt over how much water it would be receiving especially because more than 90 percent of its population relies on the nile for fresh water to get any guarantees of from each feeling of the down will not will not affect the amount of water that is flowing downstream. To yemen now where hoofy medical sources say 24 civilians including women and children have been killed in a saudi strike 7 others were reportedly injured as Coalition Aircraft attack tomes in. Northwest yemen is being reported that a wedding was taking place in the area at the time as get the latest from mohammed in sanaa for us mahmoud what more are you hearing about the 2nd sense of this attack and why would that was this particular area target it. Yes the follow the. That has been reported by these and also the. Journal the results. According to sources that to the killing of us least 31 people most of them women and children as the. Targeted gathering are awaiting gathering in a. Region. Particularly. Also a number of condemn lesions especially by this law based government the human rights the human race ministry also condemned the attack while the the head of the. Political negotiating team.

The child rights violators that has encouraged the reactor to carry on more attacks on civilians he says that there is such attack or just comes comes just days after another that has targeted. Hijo province resulted to the killing of for 9 civilians there most of them women and children the very has witnessed today.

Attempts to for the hope these to capture the province of my rip thank you for that mohammed a lot tabligh forest air in sanaa with the latest now saying hes a yemeni and hoofy Affairs Analyst he says the United Nations must do more to hold the Saudi Led Coalition to account for civilian deaths. In this area is not near any frontline. I didnt think that the should be any excuse for the saudi why they thought of this because from the beginning of the war the have killed by a strike more than 17000 yemeni civilians and it just hid in some media as they have always say that this attack came after us on our house targeted saudi arabia with ballastic missile and drone on monday and actually that attack on so you on monday it came as a retaliation attack because on sunday the day before a saudi has killed 910 civilians including 5 children. But i believe that one main point that actually given us all the green light to continue this type of attack against civilians is the u. N. Security. Secretary removal of the name for all children. Of the killers of children about 2 weeks ago they did this many times before that so i think if the United Nation will not help saudi responsible for this killing i believe that thats all we can continue plenty more ahead on this news hour including celebrations for some prisoners of war in libya 16 of them go home in a swap between the warring sides hundreds of protesters are detained in bela room after the longtime president s 2 main live holes are barred from running in next months vote and as tiger woods prepares to return to competitive golf for the 1st time in 5 months well get his view on the black lives matter movement.

According to a major study most countries could have shrinking populations by the end of the century 23. 00 nations are expected to see their populations by 2100 including china currently the worlds most populous country by contrast Subsaharan Africa is expected to travel its population and nigeria is forecast to become the 2nd largest country in the world researchers say countries are also sought to dramatically with as many as. Many people rather turning 80. Being born well lets speak to Dr Christopher murray whos the Senior Researcher of that report is director of the institute for Health Metrics and evaluation at the university of washington his via skype from seattle dr murray thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us tell us more for us about how you came up with these predictions and and why continued global population growth through the century is no longer likely to happen what are the underlying reasons behind this decline. Well the most important factor that determines population is actually fertility and what we have found looking back over the last 70 years is that telly rates are very much determined by levels of education for women and access to contraception and those 2 factors taken together explain almost all the variation weve seen across all countries infertility since women are getting more educated and fortunately access to Reproductive Health services is improving fertility rates come down and they stay low and thats really the key factor that on average educated women. That want of or have about less than one of the have children right and that really drives population down in the future that the study says that the 2 most populous countries in the world today china and india will see significant declines in their working populations tell us about the consequences of all this good and bad because i imagine theres some positive news out of all this is that. Well from an environmental point of view fewer people on the planet may mean its easier to manage Climate Change for example but for the countries like china and then you know a couple of decades later india where you have this big reduction in the number of working age adults and this is going to happen also in europe and many other regions in the world you have a profound challenge for Economic Growth d and sustaining governments tax base and even just the way societies are organized when you have many more 80 year olds than children. So the projections then carry significant consequences not least economic ones can this be reversed dr mary what what should countries and governments be doing to address these challenges. Well there are 2 strategies on offer right now one is to make it easier for women who are educated want to have careers to also have children and so thats you know generous Maternity Leave paternity leave support with you know child care where or when women go back to work those can help the swedish example shows that fertility rates can go up about 0. 2 although singapore d and taiwan and japan have not been as successful with those strategies the 2nd strategy is to have migration to bring in workers and thats what Australia New Zealand canada the us have done historically to good effect in terms of sustaining their Economic Growth and so far thats really the 2 main strategies that are on offer and i thank you so much for talking to us about this dr Mary Christopher mary is director of the institute for health and metrics evaluation at the university of washington thank you very much for your time thank you said ahead on aljazeera is utterly incapable.

Now the niece of u. S. President donald trump is calling on him to resign mary says its dangerous for americans to let her uncle lead the country she sat down for an exclusive interview with a. B. C. s new a. B. C. News Jocelyn Stephanopoulos after releasing a book heavily critical of trump whats the single most important thing you think the country needs to know about your uncle he is utterly incapable of leading this country and its dangerous to allow him to do so based on what you see now or what you saw of them. Based on what ive seen in my entire adult life. Our lives speak to Barbara Perry about this shes a professor of ethics and institutions and the directo of president ial studies at the university of virginias Miller Center and she is joining us from there thank you so much for being with us theres been no reaction from the trumpet ministration but eric the president s son has tweeted this saying every family has one nodding to a familiar expression about black sheep what do you think motivated mary trying to write this book i think it was twofold ali good to be with you today i think number one the she had this message and she is someone who is in the Mental Health field shes a Mental Health professional so she has some expertise but she wanted to get the word out before this upcoming election that her uncle in her mind was it capable of leading this country and not only it will leadership but actually dangerous for the country and i think one has to knowledge that she does have a an ax to grind a financial its run with the family because she and her brother were left out of their grandfathers will that is the will of the father of our current president so number one she will make a lot of money with this book and 2 she was very excited about the family had treated her rightly so it sounds like she was treated quite shabbily right weve known that the book was going to be very critical of donald trump but she uses particularly Strong Language what does a book really at the end tell us about the u. S. President. She claims that hes a sociopath and that course would be someone whos not only anti social but very manipulative and uses the people d for his own ends and i dont think that that comes as a shock to anyone whos been following Donald Trumps career and certainly his presidency but the fact that someone in the family again was some expertise in the Mental Health field would come forward to say that it is very important for certainly the American People and all of the world to know what she is she has seen from her entire adult life this this federal book is the 2nd in as many months to present a way the ring portrait of the u. S. President and mike former National Security adviser john boltons book are these revelations at all hurting donald trump you think and his chances for reelection. I think is they say these charges are already baked in to peoples Decision Making so it doesnt come as a shock to the opponents of donald trump that he has sociopathic tendencies and is not capable of leaving the United States and we see that now because of the coronavirus but for those who support him and continue to support him and thats about 30 to 35 percent of the American People they dont only either dont care about is propensities mentally but they actually admire his im useful persona so i dont think this is the either this book or the bolton books going to have much of the impact i think that whats having the impact is the coronavirus the collapse of the economy and racial unrest in the United States thank you so much for talking to us Barbara Perry joining us there from virginia in the u. S. Thank you for your time we appreciate it thanks.

Aljazeera has uncovered shocking new revelations about the number of infants who died at the hands of catholic religious orders in ireland theyre part of a 3 month investigation into the socalled mother and baby homes its estimated as many as 6000. 00 children could be buried in an mops graves in ireland it found that in the grounds of one home the nuns appear to have put a sewage tank on top of the remains of children who died in their care and in another home the nuns may have misled a commission of inquiry as to where the bodies of children. Lawrence lee has our exclusive report. 6 years old from the discovery of 800 babies bodies in sewage tanks and reform a mother and baby home in the arsenal of children and the state commission to investigate what really happened still has yet to report but choose seems to be the tip of the iceberg. This is like all such homes women who become pregnant out of marriage were ordered to come here. Because huge this is your 1st impression when you walk in its like a state and surrender their babies to the nuns for adoption while they were made to work in the laundry as a punishment for their sins. This is the 1st time a film crew has entered the. Going to just start the we run briars of stuff in the 1980 s.
