In japan 70 more people on board a cruise ship of tested positive for the corona virus that brings the total number of all the diamond princess cruise liner to 355. 00 around 3800. 00 passengers and crew have been stuck on board for 2 weeks now since a coroutine was imposed the United States canada south korea and hong kong are sending aircraft to fly their citizens home lets get the latest now from saudi salama who is live for us in japans yokohama palls where that cruise ship is on the quarantine. How much longer the people who dont have the virus aboard that boat have to stay aboard. This is the big question how long they should stay specially now with these countries evacuating their citizens were hearing some information that the japanese government would announce soon that extension is going to extend the current team video from the 19th this month several days maybe for a week and maybe this is the seizure is the reason behind the movements and the plans of. All these countries to evacuate their citizens that 380 bus injures u. S. Passengers who are going to be evacuated actually would having some information that they would be evacuated starting from. Japan time the 2 hours they would be taken to the airport about an hour drive from here and they would board the airplane that is coming from u. S. To fly them back to their country but they would be also they would be when they arrive to travis air base. Air base in floaty that theyre going to go under quarantine for another 14 days so why would the u. S. Government go all the do all this bit of seizures and take them for another 14 days get onto others. Knowing that maybe the currents in here would be prolonged for even longer than that and this information and all the situation with the increase of fact that people just today. Health minister announced new 70 new cases so all this increase with the numbers and. The countries the u. S. And other Companies Moving their evacuating their bus injures thats putting more and more stress on the people staying behind they dont know how or when they would be able to get of their. Germanys government is trying to give them as much information as possible the.

Issues on facebook from some of the busters on board of the ship.

Because shiens and them in which they could use online. Consumptions from experts and also they get some information about how to use the right way to use the mosques and other. Seizures but in general most of them they have been on the ship now for more than a month and many of them people this has been a very popular ship to ship among the very tired people so you could imagine what would be 30 days of staying in such small rooms and confined place would do to Peoples Health and mental thought so how does the study salon the reporting live from the oklahoma flooding many thanks indeed in indonesia around 300 people have been released after spending 2 weeks in coron team on a Remote Island they previously traveled to war han in china so far into the sea hasnt reported any cases of the coronavirus however the government is investigating the case of a Chinese National who tested positive after visiting the island of bali from there jessica washington explains what a disease ians are doing differently to battle the outbreak.

Well many people here in libya especially in the worst of the country say that theyre not relying on this conference to come up with a solution or at least to diffuse the tension in southern italy as you know adrian that both warring factions have continued the fighting despite the cease fire accord and there is no actually there is no ceasefire implemented on the ground sporadic fighting continued over the past 2 weeks and also difficult of Human Rights Violations is excessive bathing unfortunately the humanitarian coordinator at the United Nations support the mission to libya has just spoken a little while ago stating that about 6639 civilians have been either killed or one did since the beginning of this military Campaign Launched by have to his forces on april the 4th to take control of the capital tripoli from the internationally recognized government to Many International and local Rights Groups have been documenting they have been documenting several types of Human Rights Violations including extrajudicial killings some of the killings also arbitrary detention enforcer disappearance and torture the crimes against humanity have been on the rise since the beginning of this military campaign on chirpily as you know adrian that the government this is the internationally recognized government it has been accusing have to dispose of committing war crimes by targeting that is the areas and also targeting the state facilities including the only operational airport in the capital tripoli and many civilians have been cut killed or wounded by have to run them rockets or strikes the latest was. Only 48 hours ago in a detention area near the city center where one woman were was killed and 4 others civilians were wounded by random rocket launch of might have to the force but generally speaking at this conference does not seem to be promising for neither one of the rival factions on the ground here in libya atria operate thanks didnt zeros mirkwood up a while had reporting live in the me just show you the situation in berlin at the moment where were waiting for a press conference from germanys foreign minister and the deputy u. N. Special envoy to libya following that meeting its to begin any time now soon as it gets on the way it will bring it to you live on. Sudans ousted president Omar Al Bashir has appeared in court for the 1st hearing on allegations of war crimes in the darfur region a conflict that began in 2003 when mainly non arab rebels rose up against bush is government accusing it of neglecting the region well this hearing is separate from the charges that the shia faces at the International Criminal court in the hague the i. C. C. Has been pursuing him for more than a decade in 2009 he was charged with 2 counts of war crimes and 5 of crimes against humanity a year later the i. C. C. Added 3 additional charges of genocide they all have to do with bashir this role in the darfur conflict which began in 2003 years of fighting between progovernment forces and ethnic rebels left 300000 people dead and displaced 2 and a half 1000000000 simon adams is the executive director of the Global Center for the responsibility to protect hes with us here in the studio in doha good to have you with us simon what is actually happening this is a domestic process this is nothing to do yet with the i. C. C. Is that right thats right although the sudanese does transitional authorities have kind of indicated that they are prepared to hand over the shia to the i. C. C. And thats the 1st time that theyve ever kind of given a hint of that so something is clearly under way and i think you know its amazing to see just how quickly that country has changed in less than a year members only april last year when when bashir was overthrown and now theyre literally talking about potentially handing him over so he can go in handcuffs to the hague but but but is whats happening in sudan today going to come up to International Standards yeah i think thats a real question and i mean the one thing thats very interesting here is that the International Criminal court hasnt actually said anything at this point and i assume thats because behind the scenes theyre probably talking to the sudanese authorities right now saying what would a domestic process look like what would a process in the hague look like and how could the International Community potentially assist with some. Domestic process if thats the course they choose to pursue but the Transitional Council in sudan is not excel of itself full of people who are known for being defenders of human rights is far from it in fact there are some people inside the Transitional Council who you know probably belong at the hague as well not least of all humanity who controls the Rapid Support forces which willing to of course of the gender weight in darfur and theres certainly no shortage of blood on his hands so whats clear is that theres kind of a debate obviously behind closed doors at the moment inside the Transitional Authority to say what does sudanese democracy look like but also what does justice and accountability look like is it a delaying tactic by the Transitional Council i dont think so i think its more probably reflective of the fact that they cant quite figure out what to do in terms of coming to terms with sudans history of atrocities in their own country and how they come to terms with also accountability in International Justice so how long before bashir and self in the hague before the the International Criminal court will it will it get that do you have confidence that it will get the full confidence is probably taken it a little bit too far i think agent but certainly i think International Justice is closing in on bashir and for somebody like me whos sat in watch this man get away with atrocities for so long and of course the long suffering sudanese people even these kind of small steps towards putting him in a jail cell in the hague a very very positive indeed now i think you know bear witness to the incredible transformation thats happening in sudan what message this does this send to other human rights those accused of human rights abuses around the world yeah i think that he was you know the impunity that he enjoyed for so long gave confidence to the liar the likes of say bashar assad in syria and other atrocity perpetrators in different parts of the world and hopefully the sleeping a little bit less soundly tonight after these these announcements so im a really good to talk to you many thanks indeed for being with us dr simon that of. Thank you that us foreign minister says that efforts to end the almost 3 long blockade have failed but the cattery is remain open to resolving the dispute saudi arabia the United Arab Emirates bahrain and egypt are refusing to
