Rickson still has the family motor bike, and would like to get work as a driver but no one will hire him. He says soon he will have to park it because he doesnt have the money for petrol. Secretary general of the International Federation of the red cross and he joins us now from the United Nations, thank you, sir, for being with us. As we have heard, u. S. P. M. Urges the International Community not to be complacent in the face of this outbreak, how would you like to see the International Community react Going Forward. Yeah, first of all, we very much welcome the call, and the way we would like to see the International Community intervene, is to communicate a sense of urgency and translate very concretely and very rapidly, all these and good intentions in very concrete actions on the ground. Because the situation as it is now, is quite dire. As you have just said in your element before. We see a number of people now falling sick, getting into current time, and with a high mortality rate of over 80 , so communities do not understand that we convince them to let their loved ones come to facilities and they know that it never return back, this is creating quite a love of tensions that we need to ease, by doing very concrete things, reaching out and informing prevention, setting up the Treatment Centers to take care of the sick. And putting those under observation, which are suspected cases and unfortunately, given the high mortality rate, make sure that we accompany the decreased people, in a dignified manner, in a safe manner, in a respectful manner in their places to rest. So capacities are being stretched to the max, and we really need now the involvement of everybody, not the least of government, because this burden cannot be shifted to the shoulder of International Organizations alone. Indeed, certainly true what you just said, lets talk about the medical part of this issue, as well. Are we any closer to developing a vaccine available to those who have been effected by this virus. The treatment to have experiment stall vaccines. But we have to communicate. It will be available. So everybody is really working hard to recognize the danger of a spread beyond the region. And given now the global world in which we are living. May einvolve very quickly, but we cannot yet say that we are close to a vaccine. Sir, i want to take you something that you spoke of earlier. You talked about misinformation, while aid is needed the real root of the problem of this outbreak is the lack of education. How do you intend to break through cultural norms or even ignorance to try to get through valuable information to those who are effected. Indeed, this outbreak is happening against the background of a lot of fragilities. The health system, as we can see, which is near collapsing. The fragility of a social capitol, because these countries for many years can have come out of hardship where really some kind of a healing needs to be done on a community level. So finding the right entry points for communist leaders to provide the right information. Minding the right relays of communication, which is like we do in the red cross movement. Using our volunteers who are members of this communities. To talk in their own language. And also to use the same norms and values and then let them understand, that this is different from anything they have seen so far. So build also on the values of the communities of care, compassion. And respect among the different members so that we move from fear, to more acceptance, we move from the organization and the stick my tiization, and the caring of the sick. It will take time, of course, because of the fear factor, and the lie mortality rate. Secretary general of the red cross and red crest. Groups such as isil, are the creation of foreign powers. Extreme similar a global issue uh. Certain states have helped in creating it, and are now failing to with stand it. Currently our people are paying the price. Todays antiwesternism is the offspring of yesterdays colonialism. Todays antiwesternism is a reaction to yesterdays racism. Certain intelligence agencies have put blades in the hands of mad men. Who now stair no one. All those who have play add role in founding and sup effort proking these terror groups must acknowledge their errors. Which have led to extremism. They need to apologize not only to the past generations but also to the next generations. Diplomatic editor has more from new york. One european diplomate told me they saw that the language on the Nuclear Talks in the speech by president rouhani was very positive. What has been going on here new york, while the General Assembly has been taking place, just across the road, there has been the latest round of negotiations. Going on at political director level between the p five plus one thats the International Community, the permanent five members of the security council, and germany. And iran, these are on going talks which came to an interim deal in november. They are trying to come to a final deal by this november. We have heard that there is now going to be a meeting in the coming hours, between the Iranian Foreign minister, the u. S. Secretary of state, and the e. U. Foreign policy chief i am told that the secretary of state kerry wanted that meeting to test the waters because they are now considering the idea of having those negotiations the next meeting of the negotiators instead of political directors to have the Foreign Ministers there. So the Foreign Ministers of the p. Five plus 1 and the irhinian foreign minister at the table. I am told that meeting can happen within a matter of hours. And the lavon, the attacks have been on isil positions in both syria and iraq. They targeted Oil Facilities the group controls as well as command posts and military equipment. Well, france says that its jets hit several targets in iraq, but didnt give exact details. Paris also says it may get involved in Coalition Strikes on isil positions in h syria. And the u. S. And its allies have also hit isil controlled Oil Refineries in syria, in the last 24 hours. The u. S. Also hit isil positions around baghdad, in iraq. We are responsible for applying military pressure, but theres no way that this group is going to be defeated just solely through air power uh. Or even military power alone. So owe are very cognizant here in the pentagon of our role and its one piece of a larger strategy that has to be executed not just by a hold of government here in the United States, but by the International Community. Lets otake you now to the capitol where president mansor hadi is speaking. The nation is for everyone. The nation is not for a certain sect, or a certain party, the future of the citizens the future of the nation, is the responsibility of everyone of every partner, willing to be in partnership in all of the support this country. And in this moment, and in the near future, we need to commit ourselves to implement all the decisions related to our option related to our peace, related to our partnership, and related to our unity. Our National Responsibility is an important item, and we need to be up to our responsibility. My dear citizens of yemen, no one can deny or no one cannot say that you have been patient and you have seen a lot, that might led to frustration, but, i am urging now in all the political powers in to in their mind the interest of the people, the people have seen the results of such conflicts. And the people have seen how much they have sacrificed. And the people have seen those who stormed the houses and storms the homes, and almighty has orders us to respect houses and homes and not to get into these houses would permission from the owners of you just been listening to yemens president holding a News Conference speaking to the public, lets get some reaction now from our correspondent, who joins us on and telephone. Now, this is a man who is under a lot of pressure there, we just heard him talking about the need for partnership to ensure national security. Give us a background, and who is he sending this message to . Yes, he has two main statements or two main messages tonight, according to we have just been listening to, the first message is to temper yemen these. Try to assure the yemen these that the state has not fallen. Yes, we have passed through terrible events. Just the way it shocked us, but i assure you the stale have not fallen. And the fowler into the hands of the rebels. And the second message, is indirectly addressed to th houthies. That have kept them, and the view is very clear, even though he didnt what is your name, and where are you calling from . S he said that no nation build canning be achieved by looting and by entering peoples houses and taking their property. And he said that also the implementation of the peace deal with not be achieved by selective measures and it cannot be achieved by distraction. It is a very strong message to these new partners the hooty whose have just sign add peace deal with him, and it is very clear that the president is very angry, and he is trying to save the faith of the nation, and his own faith as president of the country. But if you look at the situation, in itself, it is a very very difficult situation from what the president is talking about. While he speaks the country is in the hands of the houthies, those people he has been addressing in this manner. That i have just explained. He is not in control of the country right now, and he is trying to be optimistic, and appeal to the people. Our correspondent speaking to us from the capitol. A lot more to come on this news hour, including your smart phone could have roots in conflict, we will track the minerals that go from war zones to mobile phones. And the journey norths even more dangerous, as mexico cracks down on inlegal immigrants bound for the u. S. And in sport, the first matches have been announces for the rider cup with american Phil Mickelson taking on rory mcilroy. Id comes after two days of talks with cairo, in cairo, it includes a partial understanding of when will govern gaza. During the last two days we have had detailed discussions about everything, we also discussed the importance the construction, for in the 200920 12 2014 israeli aggressions. We discussed the political situation as well within the Political Movement of the palestinian leadership, and also within the current talks of president abuse in the United Nations. The founder of electronic and the author of the battle for justice in palestine, he joins us live now. Thank you very much for being with us, now, what we have here in this situation is two political rivals with long standing tensions making this agreement, they werent able to implement a previous agreement because of disputes, so just how strong is this unity government. Well, its not strong at all, because the tensions as you call them, have a very clear basis, which is that the Palestinian Authority in ramallah is backed by and allied with israel, and hamas is a one of the resistence factions that just engaged in a war with israel. And so unity between people who are cooperating with the israeli army on the one hand, and those who are resisting it on the other is very difficult. But what is driving them together is very similar. The Egyptian Military dictatorship, which is also closely allied with israel, insists that forces loyal to abass, that is to say forces allied with israel, control the border between egypt and gaza, as a condition for loosening the egyptian side of the israeli siege. So hamas has no choice, if it wants to see some kind of end to the israeli egyptian blockade. And thats true with israels other allies like the european union, various regimes who insist that forces allied with israel, supervisor the gaza crossings as a condition for ending israels illegal collective punishment of the civilian population. Now, alley is ha mas power base. Now the cease fire that was negotiated in egypt stipulates that the p. A. , the Palestinian Authority, should take over the administration of gaza. How willing will hamas be to seize gaza to the p. A. . Well, ha maz has been very willing. Its most Senior Leader in gaza gave up the post of prime minister, the problem is that the Palestinian Authority of mac mood has been unwilling to govern gaza in the interests of the palestinian people, and of course, the crucial matter and that the authority has refused to pay the salaries of 45,000 Public Servants in gaza, which is adding to the catastrophic hardships faced by the population after the israeli massacre, and destruction, and also we still see no real commitment from mac mood abass and his authority to end the cooperation with the israeli army. And so i think what is being reported in the media now is under this latest agreement, mall state in iraqian authority forces will control the boarder crossing along the boarder with egypt, i think the palestinian resistence in gaza will be very reluctant to allow them to go any deeper into gaza, because they dont want to reproduce what is going on in the west bank, whether the Palestinian Authority working hand in hand with the israeli army against any form of resistence, lets remember, that he enoverwhelming popular support, and people will not want to see the israel allies forces come in and try to dismantle the basic defenses but i think people will want to see the siege lifts. We will have to leave it there, thank you for speaking with us. The founder of electronic. Now dissenting politicians have formed yet another group cast out of the elected parliament. A Second Parliament was already vying for recognition, which fell to a coalition of armed groups called the dawn of libya. Have become a graveyard for destroyed military hardware. Its not far from the capitol, and was once home to loyalist of the former libyan ruler. This says september 1st forever. In support of the former regime. Now the area is under the control of dawn of libya, a coalition of conservative militias have controls large parts of libya, the fighting has left its mark almost everywhere. We have witnessed fierce clashes during the very first phase, but later situation has been easier, as they were defeated. Dawn of libya, has established it es own parliament. Who were voting out of power. They refuse to accept the house of representatives formed after elections in june. With two competes far limits is yet another disseptemberring group. At first, they supported elected politician based in the eastern city, but now their allegiance is unclear. We declare the formation of the national constance group. It prioritizes the following. February 17th revolution goals and gains. Sovereignty and independent, nothing but the path and the peaceful transfer of power, dialog when differences arrive with those who share with us the nations concerns, and the reduction of all cue coups or separatist movements.
