The government says the situation is still manageable and that while new cases are being detected across south korea they seem to be people with links to this part of the country rather than from new clusters and.

As a biogas live from tehran on the corona Virus Outbreak there are said so 5 deaths now reported in iran how prepared is the country to deal with this outbreak.

The World Health Organization has warned the African Health systems would be ill equipped to deal with a potential our break Health Ministers have met in ethiopia to discuss developments with partners support we have gone from having only 2 countries with Laboratory Testing for covert 19 a few weeks ago to now 26 countries that have been confirmed in the afro region that have the capacities to test for this and we were building on an already established Influenza Laboratory network we anticipating that by the end of february or for the 7 Member States of the afro region will have this capacity south sudans president salva care has formed a new Coalition Government with opposition leader. Whos been sworn in as Vice President the former rivals will lead the government in an attempt to end years of conflicts just killed about 400000 people are expected to guide the country to elections within the next 3 years have been more than has more from geneva. Lets remember 1st of all that this Transitional Government has been sworn in just under an hour ago has been formed after 9 months of delay so people are looking up to this government to see what kind of change they can bring and weve seen this the newly sworn in vice for Vice President opposition the direct machar and the countrys president salva kiir holding several meetings over the past 2 days both saying clearly that there are still a lot of outstanding issues the most prominent being the issues of security arrangements but they said that after the swearing in and after the formation of the Transitional Government and appointment of cabinet ministers and they will tackle those issues so people on the street and countrywide are looking to this government to solve the issue of the economy how could i was facing high inflation as a result of the years of conflict in the country theres also the issue of the humanitarian crisis more than half of the country so really in population are in need of food aid to survive so these are the things or rather the challenges that this Transitional Government will have to tackle in the coming 3 years before they go on to elections the number one guarantee has to be basically the goodwill of the suicides but if youre looking at what kind of pressure this Transitional Government has just been for and will have to be spending to make sure that they implement the deal that has been coming to 18 then we can look at what happened over the past 2 weeks that led to this government being formed on the 22nd of february which was the final deadline that was passed by the working parties youve seen the u. S. Imposing sanctions weve seen the e. U. Imposing sanctions law so harsh words and language coming from regional and International Partners saying that if no Transitional Government is formed if the peace is not abided by if the details of the agreement that has been signed is not implemented then there will be no support for this government so most of the pressure that will force the were inside which are now effectively partners in government to implement the deal comes from what has happened over the past few weeks and there are concerns that if any part of the deal is not. Time were there any kind of delays basically. Part of the agreement. Basically implement more sanctions and that is something none of the. Opposition by i want to see happening in the coming years.

Our apologies there we had some technical issues that was a bit interests and love my with the latest on the togo president ial election we will speak to him a little later in the news hour if we can or next hour foud spain day one of a weeklong reduction of violence between the Afghan Taliban and the u. S. With a 1000 afghans dying every month the polls off as a glimmer of hope but john hendren a force from washington d. C. There are questions about whether it will hold. In kabul where bullets bombs and sirens often punctuate the soundtrack of daily life there is now an unaccustomed silence at midnight on saturday the taliban the United States in the Afghan Government of on shroff ghani begin a pause in hostilities if it lasts 7 days the parties plan to sign a peace deal in doha on february 29th that aims to end americas longest war we have to give peace a chance that the the best if not only way forward in afghanistan is through a political agreement and that means taking some risks that means enabling our diplomats its not a ceasefire its a test of trust you know who i am that you would be for security and Defense Forces would remain in a defensive position during the week of reduction of violence is Us Afghan Forces will continue operations against isis when alqaeda which are not part of the agreement none of the parties involved in the talks has publicly defined what constitutes a violation in the pause in hostilities is it one attack or is it 10 so its possible that if anything happens each side has an opportunity to call it off. I think that they the taliban leadership is genuinely committed to implementing this truce they very careful not to call it of course of the cease fire which is probably a good idea out there except that song by the us will happen even eventual cease fire holds that would open the door to 3000000 afghan refugees in pakistan to return to their homeland but some refugees ask to where the if we leave here we have no way to go back to i was born here about 32 years ago if we go where will we live we have nowhere to go if a Peace Agreement follows with the taliban still refusing to recognize the Afghan Government many in the us doha and afghanistan are asking what next john hendren aljazeera washington if i am dusty is a political analyst and he joins us now live from kabul thank you thomas to dusty do you think this reduction in violence will work and bring about those end goals a peace deal a Peace Agreement. Oh and there is no doubt that we have to give chance for peace people of afghanistan are looking for peace for a long time but of course peace will not come in overnight and there is time needed for that big machines all due stupid but as far as the. Reduction of violence is concerned there is a lot of sick uncertainties you know who knows how many incident happened yesterday. To be able to compare it with to be in to then to gauge if if if the violence of be reduced or not we have a proves that at least in 7 or 8 provinces there were clashes between. Taliban at the one run time attacks on the civilian target as well as many through time it is. If this goes this way if the promise is that all of them are make you is not fulfilled by the end in. It make peace a deal in danger lets just assume that a taliban u. S. Peace agreement is signed and then moves on to direct talks with the Afghan Government explain to our viewers what the challenges are with that. Oh dear a lot of challenges 1st off are less not clear when taliban will come around the table to negotiate peace with the Afghan Government do the negotiating 1000 Afghan Government are they are asking previously that Afghan Government could be part of the delegation which which go in talk peace with olive oil this is another uncertainty and then inside internally there is no consensus between elites politicians enough on the sun we know the election is all tough election you can turn on that on those results and then defend the announcement coming from different. Parties different size that do want to negotiate with taiwan but the dont want to negotiate to run the negotiation under the umbrella of the of the current government in leading by prisms i mean because they do not recognise president s i mean as president so there are a lot of challenges the taliban now holds more territory than it did when the americans and afghanistan 18 years ago has america achieved its objective still think it was this a figure. Not does not look taller one have more controlling multi then 2 toes and while the numbers are given by decided that the situations from inside afghanistan are on sun those numbers are are not what they did well of course taliban are control in some parts some some districts in some of the. Provinces but that doesnt mean that. It says that they are controlling 50 percent. Or even more than that thats not true but being in such a position why. Here this side is fragmented or not ive read are not in the same piece to go in negotiate with tawanda that will give a better position for all of one when youre coming around the table really good to get your analysis thanks for that thats fucking dusty there a political analyst live from kabul.
