Belgium is warning of a tsunami of new cases. Socialist candidate claims victory in bolivias president ial rerun, paving the way for the return of people morales. Of evo morales. Money destined for the u. S. Families and victims of attacks by armed groups and after has left sudan. The first step in a compensation agreement that will see the country removed from the u. S. List of statesponsored terrorism. Earlier u. S. President tweeted that the new government of sudan agreed to pay 335 million. Once deposited i will lift sudan from the state sponsors of terrorism list. At long last justice for the American People and a big step for sudan. Sudans Prime Minister is expected to make an announcement shortly. They carried out attacks on u. S. Embassies in 1998. Sudan was placed on the u. S. Terror list in 1993 over alleged funding of armed groups. We are to get some kind of official announcement soonish. What kind of things will you be looking for in that announcement when it comes to getting more details of this deal . While people will be looking for in a statement expected by the sudanese Prime Minister is how soon will the money be paid to the United States so the country will be officially delisted from the state sponsors of terrorism. We understand the money has been put in a safe bank outside the country but we also understand from sources that the u. S. Is yet to receive that money. Until the account is deposited in u. S. Banks to the families of the u. S. Then sudans name will not be lifted. It is a long process, but it is much shorter than the process the Sudanese Government has gone through since the government came to power in august of last year. This is one thing they have been working tirelessly on. We have seen the sudanese Prime Minister making a visit to the United States. One of his first foreign trips. To get the country off the u. S. List of states sponsoring terrorism. We have also heard from him when the u. S. State secretary of state mike pompeo visited sudan at the end of august and spoke about the issue and seemed to tie it with normalizing relations with israel. He came out after that, the prima district came out after that and said he was not in a position to normalize ties. A lot of talks have happened between the u. S. Administration and the sudanese Transitional Government. A few steps left but sudan is very confident. They say the money they would pay is little compared to the gains that would come out of paying those compensations to the United States and the victims of the terror attacks in 1989. Barbara on a final point, i know that the government says the two are not linked, although we wait to see how it develops in the next few days and weeks. But if the Sudanese Government was to normalize relations with israel, how controversial would that be, in a country right now that still has a relatively young Transitional Government that is also suffering from economic problems . Guest we have also spoken to senior officials here, and they say the talks of normalizing ties with israel is not completely off the table. That is because of the economic assistance package that will come with normalization of relations between the two countries. Lets look at sudans economy. They are facing severe fuel and bread shortages, and inflation of more than 212 , with many families unable to afford three meals a day. It is in dire economic crisis. But there is also the issue of getting everyone in the country to accept the issue of normalization. Lets not forget that this transition government is a Coalition Government with various Political Parties, some of them from the far right as well as the farleft. They all have to come to the same page to agree on the issue of normalization. That is one thing the sudanese Prime Minister is concerned about. He is concerned Political Parties against normalization may break the coalition and weakening the government that is already fragile in the transition to democracy. Barbara we can see that authorities are making a statement, so we will get more analysis on that as we get it. For the moment, thank you. Covid19 infections have passed 40 million globally.

Many iranians say they cannot afford to take the governments restrictions seriously. Reporter one of the reasons, also a cause of concern for Health Officials, is people are not taking these restrictions seriously in the capital, despite the fact that many people are asked to stay home and schools and universities are closed. There are still a lot of people going about daily routines. Malls and restaurants are still open, and they are not adhering to the words of Health Officials who are urging people to limit their movements in the city. This is also one of the reasons for that is many people do not have the luxury of staying home. They have to earn a living. There is no Financial Aid from the government that has been offered. So many people we have spoken to say staying home, for them, is just not an option. So the traffic we see on a regular basis in the capital, one of the biggest provinces in the country, continues despite the outbreak. Even though the majority of the people see across the city wear masks. There are still plenty of people who go about their daily business trying to earn a living. Many taxi drivers we spoke to say they cannot afford to stay home. They have to earn their days wage because there is no Financial Aid from the government during this pandemic.
