Devastation. We speak to a scientist who says there may be a new way to stop locusts. Swarming in sport has been buried in tributes. Continue to roll in from around the world, including former club of current argentina. Yes, we begin with breaking news in irans accusing israel of being behind the killing of a prominent nuclear scientist. Most in fact reside it was, had played a pivotal role in irans controversial Nuclear Program and was also associated with the Iranian Revolutionary guard corps. Iranian foreign minister and jeffords are the 1st described. The killing is murder and said, terrorists are responsible. The revolutionary guard has vowed to avenge his death. Israel has refused to comment. Lets go straight to our said, break in terror on. Tell us more about this and how its the kind of anger its elicited in iran itself. Well, the defense minister ahmed, had to me has been speaking just just moments ago, giving more detail as to what took place now. He says was in fact result there was a nice car that there was an exchange of gunfire. 10 to 15 seconds later, a bomb on the back of a truck exploded and then the gunfire continued. Now hes a true of the guards were also injured. Most in fact, as other was taken to hospital and medics were unable to save him, and he died. The defense minister offered condolences to the supreme leader, ayatollah khomeini. And the nation, as you said, is a great deal of anger and fingers are already been pointed. Now the head of the armed forces here said that affiliates of the zionist regime are responsible, pointing the finger at israel. The foreign minister zarif, again, he said hes also blaming israel, but yet any evidence is to be provided to be presented. We havent seen or heard anything to say that israel behind this, but there is a great deal of anger at this was a very Senior Scientist at the Defense Ministry say that he was the head of innovation and research at the Defense Ministry. And they are officials admitting that this is a blow to iran Defense Program because he had been targeted previously in assassination attempts. And he has survived those. He had been on the list of u. N. Security Council Sanctions us way back as 2007. And hes worried about its had been kept secret. And again, this is a blow to iran and there are officials now to respond. But we dont know what that response will be. So tell us more about this man and why he might be targeted. Why he was targeted this way . Well, he was involved in irans Nuclear Program with irans missile program. In fact, in 2018, israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu named him saying that he was the director of Irans Nuclear weapons program. Now the defense minister today said that he had also been involved, it headed irans response to the krona virus. So is a well respected scientist, but Nuclear Scientists have been targeted before in iran. And he was very close to deepika establishment or to the supreme leader, ayatollah khomeini. Lets not forget the context of all of this and we had, this is all taken place. This happens us the reformists in this country, president Hassan Rouhani and his reformists are looking to president elect u. S. , president elect joe biden, to return to that 2015 nuclear deal. And lift sanctions. That very same deal that donald trump put in ited states out of impose sanctions. On iran and irans been reducing its commitments. Now this assassination assassination could complicate matters greatly because the reforms in the country are looking to talk and negotiate with the United States. Conservatives have always been saying that you cannot trust the west. So theres an internal debate thats taking place and incidents like this. Further complicate matters and lets not forget, it was only back in january this year that the United States assassinated general kassam. So the money, the head of the oil could force, which is a part of irans revolutionary guard. So this is all taking place was this was the increase of tensions, not only inside the country, but in the region. And also, whilst iran is looking to the United States, president , president elect joe biden, to return to that nuclear deal. I said, thanks very much indeed for that bag there. And as i said, was alluding to between 2012012, tehran accused israel and the United States of carrying out targeted killings of 4. Iranian scientists. 1st up, renowned a physicist, mess sued, havent i, was killed when a remote controlled bomb went off outside his home in january 2010. There on the hanged, 24 year old arabian, for the killing, accusing him of being an Israeli Intelligence agent. In november of that year, the Nuclear Scientists and engineers, majeed, shari, was killed her attackers on motorbikes, attach bombs to his car as he drove to work. Then in july 2011, Nuclear Scientists resign a jet, was killed in front of his home in the capital. Thats after 2 gunmen on motorcycles opened fire. And then in january of 2012, mr. Might be a russian was killed after a bomb was attached to his car. He supervised a department of a tense uranium enrichment facility. Lets bring in our body whos an International Humanitarian law expert at the university of tehran. Iran, he joins us live by skype from tehran, mysie a very 1st stop it. As weve just seen, these kind of incidents have happened before. Tell us more about your reaction to whats happened. Nice to be with you nic, best. Actually, according to the international law, these assassination is considered while ation of International Human rights law. Irrespective of the targets, it sees an extra judicial killing and it is always condemned by the International Community and international law. And mr. Factorys other was a highly respected in gene youre and scientist, a University Professor working with both civil and military industries. As many other scientists are doing the same around the world, so hes assassination or to so called targeted killing cannot be considered as a defensive action, as he did not hold any active operational military commands. Therefore, it is an act of terror and it is condemned. Obviously, the Iranian Foreign minister has pointed the finger at israel. He has no direct evidence at this point. Does that suggestion have residents to you actually cannot speculate and its as though we did not snow to intelligence, we did not know the information, no group or no organization has claimed responsibility for deaths and them to we do not know who has carried out the attack the assassination, we cannot, you know, i have any final say on that. However, the foreign minister absolutely has access to intelligence and information that we do not have access to that given, given that on and appreciate that. But to what extent do you think that this could complicate iran, forging a relationship with a new and incoming president , the u. S. President joe biden . Thats. Thats a very good question. You know, some countries in the region may try to push iran towards a military confrontation with at bursaries and further a skillet, detentions, so that iran and the United States cannot find a common ground. But however, iran has proved to act cleverly in these kind of situations and its with the dependents, you know, to respond in spite of iran would be dependent on who has carried out the assassination. If it has been carried out by some terrorist organizations in neighboring countries like him or send a raise, that there is a possibility that we see some Strong Military actions by iran against those terrorist organizations. As we experienced adding 2 and 17 against the ice use in day restore. And, but if it turns out to be an act of foreign intelligence services, then the situation would become to gauge that further of the case that as you just mentioned, and we may see it would not be unlikely to me. Dear might be a proportional military response as we saw that against angle asset. And we cannot speculate on anything. However, there is a possibility off, some proportional, military sponsors about. But it depends on iran has carried out these cessation obsoleted not in fact farmers, not his death has been received with great anger in iran. But what about the impact of his death on irans Nuclear Program and what effect will it be that you know, to the radiant people . Hes known as a scientist and engineer and many people, you know, among the people. He was not well known as much as generous soleimani was vote. So despite the fact that many journalists and politicians know mr. Factories out there as head of state, you ross Nuclear Program, but to the people, he was just a scientist and a University Professor. And you know, we cannot say what kind of impact it may have, you know, and you know, iran can continue its Scientific Research on Nuclear Issues as there are lots of scientists in the country. And this is what is claimed by most of to foreign politicians. However, in iran, hes known as a scientist and engineer and a University Professor. However, as a youve already appreciate your perspective on this. Thanks very much for joining us. Nice to meet you, dick. On t. V. Theatre now where the government has denied claims that the Prime Minister is rejecting tools with the grand leaders that says, visiting peace envoy has pushed for a resolution to the weeks long conflict to the north of the region. 3 African Union, special envoys met Prime Minister i have meant and he told them hed only speak to representatives operating legally in the region that the army was ordered to carry out the final phase of its offensive. I moved in on to graze regional capital. Well, thousands of people are fleeing the fighting, integrating into camps in neighboring sudan, and off to days of walking. Many are exhausted and sick, but struggling to get access to health care. Have a morgan has more now from my gut, that if near the border with ethiopia, this is the only Health Facility at village a refugee camp near sudans border with dozens come here for medical assistance each day. Techno will die says he was went by doctors back in his home country that he was developing cardiac problems. Now he says, days of walking, to flee from fighting in ethiopia, region, and standing in line for aid and for treatment is making him feel worse. I was told to be careful not to exhaust myself to take care of my diet, but since i had to flee my chest pains have been increasing. And when i come here, theres often a long line or no doctor, for hundreds of patients in the camp that hosts more than 15000. The center is the 1st and sometimes the only place to seek treatment. Despite that, it has little to offer to patients, all fled to escape fighting from to grey. I wasnt suffering from anything when i was back at my ive been struggling to get medication since i got here, and the treatment is very poor. More than 45000 refugees have been displaced by the fighting integrate. Its thought of 3 weeks ago following a government offensive on the to great Peoples Liberation front. The offensive was a response to an attack by the front on a military base and came after months of tension between the Regional Government and the federal government. 2 camps have been opened in sudan to cope with the influx of refugees. But providing services, especially health services, is challenging as more and more refugees continue to arrive. The camp here has 3 doctors who are also refugees to tend to the sick. We dont even we cannot. We dont you know, that could be of some benefit. There are many here that we need to be that if they are going to be this, but we dont have that. And we dont obviously i think we think about sudans commission of refugees says its trying to assist the refugees with access to health care, but need support from organizations to be able to help the sick develop needed is for Health Organizations to provide emergency medication and the Refugee Community is no mingling with the local community and some turn to look all Health Facilities to get treatment. Health organizations need to step up to ensure that refugees have Proper Health care. Most refugees here state, they dont know how long they remain in this camp, or if they will be relocated to places with better facilities. But they say they hope their calls for assistance will be listened to before a medical crisis. Of course, he will morgan aljazeera of out of state whose horn of africa, who joins us live by skype from santa monica. California you have is welcome to the program. We clearly know very little about whats going on in tikrit province. We do know lots of people have fled. What do you know whats happening there . Well, tanks have said around the city are not badly. Thats what were hearing. And the 72 hours that was given by Prime Minister has been gone. And mediators have talked to him. They were not allowed mander standing, they were not allowed to go past. And so its looking a very ominous kind of situation where to see, you know, im in that entire people who surrounded it. Absolutely, and many, many have fled, including children that had been some talk that there are fears that the children might be forcibly drafted into any fighting. I think the worst fear is out of area water. And because this is a struggle, its not a bible that he had a right now you know, the looking out doing anything they can. And its also really not so much that he has i think the entire people into the guy out of cheating on their feet. And there is a, there is this discourse that separates that he had left them to people, looked at i understand. Sure, there is no separation. It is peoples wardak autograph. It was a kind of thing that they are transitioning to. And whats going to be happening in l. A. Is really wanting to show us what the future of course shes going to be. I think on ivys bought it to gamble on a military solution to this is surely just the biggest mistake, a strategic mistake he made. Let me just jump in there for a 2nd because it, were getting a little bit of a tiny bit of information which you can probably just expand on force if you would, a hearing for me here. If you state broadcaster the, which is reporting that the military has now taken control of, we crow tell which is 50 kilometers north of whats the relevance of that do you think . And how important is, is that offensive . I think, i think from the governments point of view, it is trying to show but really result because into and out of the cities. I think people left might even tactically, withdrawal from these places without much resistance. But its another thing to control these places and controlling them and administering them, especially when people are thinking of you as an occupation army, its doesnt make any sense. I mean, the saudis went to yemen, thinking being they can solve that problem in a very short. They succeed, i mean, even much stronger countries have tried to intervene in other countries and they have not invaded. So finally, just doesnt make sense. No fun. And you know, whats your assessment given that of where things are heading if, if doesnt reverse his plan. Well, this is it, this is about a tragic situation that is inviting in that place both on a humanitarian level. And i mean its so on a scale that i cannot even, you know, i mean i am too depressed to even think about because this is a very serious situation. Not just for the guy in ethiopia, but for the entire region. And i just hope that sanity prevails because a lot of people are suffering right now. And refugees, i mean, children and mothers, evident to you and already, you know, those testimonies that you want to broadcast about, sudan and those refugees there in that i dont like in something because i am what i do not live for medicare and that i had 100800 refugees into that i who protected by that to gram people. Now they have completely exposed no food. Its just a humanitarian tragedy that is unfolding and not even attention and not big on taishan is being paid to it. Because, you know, i cant be speaking african issues that are not that bad at united now. Thats sad, you know its, its very troubling situation. Whichever way you look at it, tell you how many is welcome out and we appreciate things a lot of thank you. Thank you so much.
