Jong uns birthday by announcing elections with one candidate in each constituency. The coldest its been since 1896 imagine being homeless. At the trial of egypts deposed president Mohamed Morsi has been delayed until february. Security Officials Say bad weather delayed the helicopter fight from the prison, where hes held in the city of alexandria and was supposed to have been brought to cairo. These are the latest pictures from the Police Academy, where he was expected to appear. Bernard smith reported extensively from cairo and is with us in the studio. The weather looks good in the pictures, in the capital. Did anything at all happen in court. The stage was set for Mohamed Morsi and 14 others to go on trial. A litany of charges that the president faces, and one of the main charges is the incitement of killing of protesters in december, 2012. Nobody appeared at court. Mohamed morsi didnt appear. The Authorities Say bad weather stopped the weather transporting him from alexandria to the courthouse. We have seen live pictures from alex and it looks clear, but the Authorities Say the fog stopped the helicopter taking off. No trial until february. Protests going on in various parts of egypt, arent there . There has been regular protests across cairo and egypt since the ousting of Mohamed Morsi back in the summer. Theres an an ebbing and flowing of the intensify of the protests. There were some in nasser city. Theres a strict protest law in egy egypt. These days they are small scale. They happen in unannounced areas and disperse quickly if the Security Services show up. A lot of caro, carrying on with cairo, carrying on with business is normal. Will Security Forces tighten security. Its a big month. The constitutional referendum held next week, and its the anniversary of the referendum. The constitutional referendum, authorities want a good turn out to give legitimacy to the constitution, and a peaceful atmosphere during the anniversary, to force the resignation of hosni mubarak. The authorities keen to keep a lid on the situation in egypt. Thank you. Bernard smith there with the latest on what is going on in egypt for us. And just a reminder that we cannot report from egip because our team in cairo has been arrested without charge for 11 days now. Lets move to anbar, where many have been forced to flee their homes. These are a few of hundreds of families looking for safety. After days of intense fighting between armed fighters, tribesmen and government forces. Women and children caught up in a conflict they couldnt occur. There was bombing and street fighting. We left out of fear for the children. Translation my husband brought us here, looking for a safe place for the kids. This is what they are trying to escape. The military is determined to regain control of the two main cities in anbar province. For over a week armed forces of the Al Qaedalinked israeli state have taken control of most of the ramadi and fallujah, and warned anyone against helping the iraqi government. Residents say all schools, colleges, hospitals and hospitals have been closed. The markets are shut, and fuel supplies are running out. As the government struggles to regain control, its allies, including the u. S. , only gave assurances of material help. I believe we have left it in a place where it was capable of moving forward. Because of chemical issues internal to iraq, the security situation evolved into something in our mind that is concerning. The politics is divided, the shialed government fighting what it calls terrorists. Iraqi armed forces will never withdraw from anbar. They didnt come from there. They were already there. The recent events maybe tackled terrorist hyde outside. The sectarian nature of the government led to these developments. The iraqi troops faced trades and many armed men. The troops faced civilian issues, which are the responsibility of local police. It created chaos in anbar, and the situation is out of control. And as the troika of troops, tribesman and fighters fight for control, the people continue to suffer. For more, imran khan, who has done a lot of reporting in iraq joins us here in the studio. We are hearing that a deal has been made in anbar province. What do you know about that . It was an interim agreement, announced through the mosques of the local area through the area this morning. What the tribal chiefs have decided to do, in conjunction with the government and army is to allow the army to refer further back from anbar and mountain operation with the local Police Forces to get rid of the i. S. I. L. Fighters and tribes loyal to them. The police is a better acceptable way of the working than the iraqi army is. The iraqi army is divisive for a lot of tribes in the area that see it as a tool that was shia led. The Police Forces are more acceptable. What they are going to do is theyll go in and take over police check posts and get the police in the area so security can return. You saw the pictures of the humanitarian situation. One of the things they are hoping to do is get people into their homes. That means there was a change in tactic. We saw the army surround the anbar province, fallujah and ramadi. The iraqi Army Presence was divisive. That was a preliminary agreement. The Police Checkpoints will be set up. Once that happens, theyll look at how theyll go into fallujah, in particular, and fight the i. S. I. L. And tribes loyal to them. Maybe hope much security being restored in anbar at some point. Yes. Another deadly day in the capital, baghdad. 12 killed this a house in eastern baghdad. We dont know the reasons. It could be local mafia, or a religious group going against the target, where they thought it was unislamic. 12 killed in one night is not extraordinary for baghdad. The car becomes are happening, security is dangerous there, and this is making people of baghdad nervous, people across iraq nervous, because a common thing you hear from the iraqi people is if the security service, if the police check post and army cannot protect themselves, what hope do they have of protecting us. An attack like this, may not be to do with the sectarian violence, it is unnerving of the iraqi people, because they dont have the security they need, and elections are coming up elections due to be had in april. How much of what is happening is do with politics . Politics is key. Nouri almaliki has been speaking in the last hour, saying the elections will happen on time. You spoke to so many politicians and hear the public estimates. You realised they are saying an operation like the one in anbar, means that sunnis cant come out to vote. They wont have their voices heard in an election, allowing the dowa party, dominated by Nouri Almaliki an advantage. Thats why hes going in, a lot of toing and froing and accusations. Sebbing tarrian pol sectarian politics are coming to the fore, with the groups all accusing each other of jostling for position. A lot of this is to do with the election, and the election, Prime MinisterNouri Almaliki says will be held on time. There are many analysts and world folk in iraq wondering whether theyll be held on april 30th. Thank you imran khan for keeping an eye on what is going on in iraq. We are getting pictures showing the aftermath of an air strike in duma. Wounded children and an injured baby is being pulled out of the baby. More than 100,000 have been killed since the conflict in sudan in 2011. A fire swept through an express train in india, killing nine people. The blaze began in the secondclass carriage, travelling from mumbai. Its not clear what caused it. We have more. We are hearing of reports of a guard standing on the side of the a Railway Track at the time, seeing the train go past and noticing a fire. The train was stopped and Emergency Services moved in. Its still early hours in mumbai in terms of reaction and official statements. This is one of several that we have seek in recent weeks. There has been a new development in the diplomatic row between india and the United States. India has threatened to close down a popular bar and a Bowling Alley at the u. S. Embassy in new deali, part of the row with the u. S. Over the arrest of an indian diplomat in new york. Devyani khobragade was accused of visa fraud and underpaying her nanny. She was strip searched during her interview, which caused an uproar in india. It was birthday celebrations for kim jong un. He chose the day to announce the elections would go ahead. The parliament has little power and therell only be one candidate in each constituency. Former n. B. A. Star Dennis Rodman defended his decision to play an exhibition game in north korea for kim jong un. When we come back to america, shake our hand because we tried to do something nice. That is it, guys. We are trying to do something very nice. South korean analysts say Dennis Rodmans antics in the north play into the hands of kim jong un. Mr rodman likes to think hes emulating a pingpong diplomacy in the 21st century as the chinese and americans did in the early 70s. Dennis rodman is not a diplomat. Kim jong un used him for propaganda purposes. I dont think that much good is coming out of this. Frankly speaking, nobody is communicating inside. This is basically a show for kim jong uns propaganda procedure. This is the author of, melt down, the inside story of the north Korean Nuclear crisis, and a senior fellow. Hes been to north korea 16 times and joins us from kuala lumpur. Welcome to the program. You were in north korea in july. Has it changed under kim jong un, and how stable is it with him at the helm . What was striking when i visited last summer was the sense that pyongyang had become something of a boom town. There were more cars in the street, new buildings, and a lot more restaurants. There were clearly North Koreans with money. Part of the north korean elite seems to be doing better under kim jong un, though its hard to tell where the money is coming from. The big question is in the wake of the execution of kim jong uns uncle, Jang Songthaek, and this public revealing of highlevel disputes and conflicts within the leadership. Where this leads kim jong un, as north korea marks his birthday, you can make a plausible argument that would the execution of Jang Songthaek has done is to help kim jong un consolidate his power, ease out of position, People Associated with his father kim jongil, and begin to bring in people who are allied to him, supporters of him. In that sense it may have increased his hold on power. You can make the argument that the kind of information released about the nature of the splits, the factionalism shows cracks in the system, and we dont know how to judge it, well have to see over time whether this means that kim jong un has a stronger grip on the country or whether there are cracks in the elite that will cause problems. A lot of questions, as you said. The most reclusive country in the world. An election it to be held in march. Is that about consolidating his power. Moving out the old and moving in new people. Well, the election is the though. The outcome is ordained. Kim jong un will get all the support he needs. Its another important step for him in consolidating his power and sending a signal. What is important to watch is the policies he pursues. On the one hand hes made it clear that he wants to continue to build up north Koreas Nuclear capability, and improving the economy. That has nos changed despite the upheaval of Jang Songthaek and so forth. We see whether, moving forward, whether he developments the economy and Foreign Investment and other thinks he talked about doing. Dennis rodman back in pyongyang for kim jong uns birthday. A criticised visit. Your thoughts on this interesting relationship . It is a weird sort of relationship. Kim jong un was a basketball fan, his father was a basketball fan. Rodman has no credibility in the states, hes seen as a crown. Hes the only condue it into kim jong un, and the only person doing an exchange with north korea. Their receptivity suggests there may be an opening for other people to people exchange. That requires force from the obama administration, and right now attitudes in washington about north korea are so negative that that will not happen. The talk about how this should help to break down barriers will not go anywhere. Thank you very much. Mike there, speaking to us from kuala lumpur. Theres a lot more ahead on the program, including forced to squat in derelict buildings or under trees for shelter. Thousands displaced by the violence in south sudan.

Shelters take in 55,000 people. That number includes 23,000 children, suffering the most in extreme weather. Children cant go to school and get a lot of meals which are provided at the schools. That puts pressure on a familys budget. A parallel decline in housing and low income wages has been blamed for the increase in homelessness. An increase in Domestic Violence are considered contributing factors. The new mayor has been in the job for less than a week.
