Of the baucus i cry when i bet thats what im going to think about i thank you for what they think about their eyes bad apple present moment i was so about barack shocked to get up members of psychics a christian may just not advice to prevent any side but results and what was the state bad judgment to start to see them assertion that you can accept our ive made sure that the back of that there was so bad that you know but back to the psych meds that wed minimize as much as dish him anyway. Well back to the well you know what go back to look worse. Lets make it so. He said. So all the premier rajaram there for us and whats looking already to be a very windy cold cuts that will be following that closely thank you prima well lets now go to the bangladeshi capital dhaka where choudary is live for us tanveer a Global Pandemic and now this is it even possible to socially distance when youre evacuating in such a densely populated country. Absolutely a very challenging time indeed i mean bangladesh is not its not new to deal with cycle and its very well. But right now you have additional problem how do you manage so many people in the coastal areas millions of them have a limited number of its congested so its going to be very difficult actually to maintain the coronavirus pandemic within the shelter considering so many people taking shelter in there now we know the latest from the government is that 2400000 people actually has been evacuated 14000 shelters been actually located in case there more needs to be able to that this so they can accommodate up to 5000000 people and its expected to probably hit the southwestern bangladesh. Possibly. On mangrove forests which usually take the brunt of the cycle on many of the time in bangladesh and a blessing in disguise because it saves actually this wind to go inwards. Things looks to be quite under control as far as rescue and other paper action goes but people are waiting anxiously it could be within next 6 hours 3 to 6 hours the cycle into the southwestern and southeastern coast line of bangladesh. Tunder i do want to ask you seems that the hundreds of thousands of ranger refugees in talks as designed and often stay in nischelle to is in order to try to protect themselves is that going to be enough given the strength of the storm. Yes i mean there is a danger signal number 9 in the radio which is one. Danger signal which is stan and i spoke to the people in the camp we have our contact they said right now its gusty wind there and rain the danger is also torrential rain landslide and heavy wind could blow away the top roof top in the. International organization of migration said this set up about 50 provisional shelters that in case of emergency although its not expected the storm is going to heed the call about the coastline but taken as a great preparation as the can on the considering within last one week at least 5 cases up call had been detected in that camp so theyre in a panic im in a dollar my with this storm approaching right now. Choudhry there for us in the bangladeshi capital dhaka will obviously continue speaking to him throughout the day thank you tanveer well out of the our meteorologist rob mccallum he is now out here with all the latest on whats going to happen the next few hours can you talk us through the path of the storm and in the country what people are going to experience cant you say we were going to make landfall and to us thats the center of it so its been affecting whatever is around as youve seen from the correspondents for the last few hours so this is the pictures its a let me give bit of comparison weve been talking about is a major storm and certainly was the biggest ever recorded 2 days ago but it makes landfall it could be more like 155 Kilometers Per Hour thats more like a category 2 hurricane now its still bad but it certainly isnt the worst ever this more could probably bobble from 6 months ago and that is unfortunate that killed 40 people im not to predict that but thats the sort of size storm were talking about is going more or less directly north to make landfall very soon it will keep going dropping right in the winds will die at that stage and thats not necessarily the biggest risk youve already seen the extent of the rain from the coast of addition weve had 250 meters so far to the other side of the bay where cox is bizarre is reporting rain at the moment so in the next 2 hours this thing will go over the west bengal coast just east i think of the river hooley with those sort of characteristics its still a category 2 hurricane and the storm surge is the thing then next to worry about that is what is water gathered up by the storm and then brought up into the merits of these many rivers of bangladesh this is the landfall when those bang goes the damaged for well in 1900 they sort of take 40 years dury grow so more damage is not going to be welcome it looks like the surge wont go quite as far east as the originally thought but west in bangladesh and just east of the hooli thats 3 to 5 meters of rain and water this high well above me obviously a study thank you very much trouble obviously continue watching very very close. In the coming hours theres also plenty more ahead on this news hour including forces from libyas internationally recognized government make more advances as the u. N.

And in sport israelis footballers will soon know when or if this season can actually restart. And lets bring you to some other news now and a president ial election is underway in burundi despite the risk of coronavirus verges on choosing a leader to replace pm koreas easer who is stepping down off to 15 years in Power International observers were told they must quarantine for 14 days and that effectively bulb them from working raising doubts over just how free and fair the poll is lets take a closer look at all the main pay at play is fesses the outgoing president. Hes a former rebel leader whos escaped multiple efforts by the International Community to try him for alleged human rights abuses now the man with the best chance of replacing him is his ally and the also the leader of the ruling party thats ever east. Hes been part of the former president s Movement Since 1900 and was also a key player in the peace deal to end civil war his closest challenge as i go phone hes the leader of the Main Opposition Party hes run for the presidency multiple times despite his party facing allegations of abuse and intimidation while our correspondent malcolm webb has been following the story and all the developments from nairobi from where he joins us malcolm this is all happening within the context of a Global Pandemic of people in burundi actually coming out to voters. Yes they are both the ruling party and the Main Opposition Party that is i guess on party have promised their supporters victory so there are people lining up at the polls stations and we have little sign of any social distancing now this is been a concern for Health Experts over the last few weeks during the campaigns both the ruling Party Position the holding rallies with thousands of people relatively crowded locations and Health Experts have said that this is this is very risky for furthering the spread of covert 19 the government has only reported about 40 cases of the virus World Health Organization expert in brood d. Criticized it recently for an adequate response they were expelled from the country now the government plays it down they say theyre on top of this pandemic but some activists Health Care Experts as well feel that the response hasnt been good enough and the reason for that is because the government wants to push ahead with this election irrespective of the health risks for the room the ns and malcolm there was violence in the lead up to this election i remember 201500 scale bows and fleeing when one currency is announced he then wanted to run for another term and it sounds like you very much still be involved in politics despite stepping down this time round. But thats right hes just finished his 3rd term that was very controversial 5 years ago as you say when he announced his attention to run the opposition said that was against the constitution because hed reached his limit of 25 year terms in office that prompted street protests and then a crackdown from the police and security agencies and ever since then rights expert rights activists say theres been a shrinking democratic space in burundi with widespread reports of mass arrests of opposition supporters targeted killings disappearances its. A group called the inborn akureyri who are frequently accused of these abuses theyre described by the ruling party as its youth wing critics and opposition described them more as a militia and while the government tends to deny these rights abuses what weve seen is that very many journalists opposition activists and so on have fled the country and a lot of them now from abroad say that there really isnt the democratic space left in the room the to have a meaningful election at the moment also no foreign observers there the only foreign observers that were invited were from the East African Community 11 days ago they were told that if they did come theyd have to be quarantined for 14 days on arrival so they wouldnt have even been able to observe today in any case so for opposition and rights activists a lot of them saying that this isnt possible to have a meaningful election in these conditions at all. There for us following all those developments from nairobi thank you very much mark well the new Prime Minister who has been sworn in might get the majority over the day after his predecessor thomas to bonaire resigned the 18 year olds can do about a month says he denied involvement in the murder of his 1st wife his latest wife has already been charged with the killing 3 years ago.

Taiwans president so you werent has promised to continue a precarious policy of seeking a more d independent line from Mainland China while still coexisting with it or member were just they didnt dont you will not accept the beijing authorities use of one country 2 systems to downgrade taiwan and to undermine the cross street status quo. The one country 2 systems model of shared government which beijing wants to use to reintegrate taiwan is similar to the way hong kong is governed anger at the perceived lack of autonomy under that system led to months of violence protests in hong kong and in taiwan created fears among voters who gave a landslide victory in januarys president ial election one thing thats clear is that she woke me up on my hand with the Chinese Government on the mainland because shes expected to do that by her constituents who are highly supportive size popularity has been further enhanced by her handling of the coronavirus pandemic transparency combined with a Quick Response kept infections to a minimum winning praise from around the world the regime in beijing certainly does not appreciate the kind of positive attention that i want to as been receiving this has provided a probably on president and opportunity for taiwan to showcase its knowledge its abilities its fuel
