in gaza even you are money in gaza but you can have your life. adding to the strife is the u.s. recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel. here in this community center christians are holding a vigil in solidarity for jerusalem as palestine's capital the feeling among christian communities very much the same as it is among the muslim majority everyone we've spoken to see here is it opposition to the u.s. move and they say it only adds to the frustrations of life here. there are many muslims here too the communities carry exist. it's a somber runs the center he says they do everything they can to try and provide support for young people. to do what they need to do what they must do in their lives as young do you do what you can see

imposed extra measures on pyongyang on friday following its recent intercontinental ballistic missile test. from seoul. north korea called the latest round of un security council sanctions imposed on it as a threat as a violation of its sovereignty as well as an act that would violate peace and stability in the region it also seemed to direct much of its anger at the u.s. who led drafted and negotiated this latest round of sanctions now one interesting thing however is north korea seems to acknowledge that these latest sanctions are the toughest ever that it's facing it called it tantamount to a complete economic blockade as not only a significant cap on petrol supplies the sanctions also call for the repatriation of north korean foreign labor as within the next twenty four months hitting an important income source for the isolated country it also calls for an ban on north

korean exports including machinery and lumber again hitting north korea's income source there isn't however any indication in the statement that north korea will change its behavior in fact the tone is one of defiance but this is very much in line with previous statements in reaction to past sanctions many analysts have come to believe that the world is running out of sanctions options when it comes to dealing with north korea now the hope however is that these sanctions will have the effect of making it more difficult for north korea to carry out further tests. go ahead on the news on including we report from venezuela in the second part of our special series where community activists are working together to provide what the government cannot. and i. thank you yes with the latest series on artificial intelligence in the years to come will this be doing your job.

have been dismissed or suspended from their jobs since the failed coup in july last year that service suspected ties to the movement of u.s. based cleric for toulon girl in turkey accused him of organizing the failed coup by one couple on as the director of policy analysis at the doha institute he says the latest dismissal show president has gone too far. well i think at the very beginning his the action was fully understood because that was an attempt on the life of the president and an attempt actually to overthrow a democratically democratically elected government but i think after that he went too far using that as a pretext actually in order to belch not only the military in which he actually used. in fact he seized on that called an opportunity for him in order to bring the army and that he's going toward because for the past fifteen years of. actually the military has been the bastion of secularism in turkey and it was very

much the party which has resisted so many reforms that the president has suggested in order to bring the whole state. apparatus and that his so i took that opportunity actually to bring the army and the controversy but as i said he went too far when he actually also the state bureaucracy he fired out hundreds of university professors i know for sure that some colleges in turkish university don't have teachers actually to teach the courses he also the judiciary so he went after almost all those he was suspecting of posing him without actually they had links to the movement. or or not. i just want to show you some pictures that have just come in to us these are not live but just came just a couple minutes ago they are of the latin patriarch of jerusalem and he's been

business owners indiscipline coming from the very ground of companies trying to make as much fortune as possible before prices stabilizes but shop owners say the shortage of foreign currency is to blame some have to buy dollars on the black market at a premium to remain viable they insist they have to hike prices the government accuses some business owners and politicians are breaking the exchange control law by illegally stashing money abroad and not depositing it in local banks the president says he has a list of individuals who have money overseas some of it stolen and smuggled out of the country one of prison and that was first act was to order a three month amnesty for the return of stolen money to the country people have until march to do so or they will be arrested despite the huge economic challenges they have been more positive developments since when i became president the government says civil servants will be paid on time this month some eighty games

on al-jazeera more of our special coverage of the christmas season in the holy land after the break a look at them and palestinian refugee community. and our child has become one of the world's leading spots for plastic surgery. and coming up with foreign sport barcelona and real madrid's hopes of retaining the spanish league title. by the sky knowing the full range and. or off the coast of the italian riviera. hello there the storm that hit the philippines recently has now intensified to a typhoon we can see it very clearly on the satellite picture this blob of cloud here worked its way steadily towards the west over the past few hours in the philippines is now fortunately in the clear the clear up operations there obviously

still taking place but now this storm is heading its way towards the west it looks like it's covering a huge area but if we take the fifth cut off that and just look at the shadow you can see that actually the center is still cover in just a smaller fast smaller area now putting all the power back on this is what we've currently got that is time for temp in the sustained winds one hundred fifty kilometers per hour of course there were gusts on top of that and it's moving currently towards the west at around twenty kilometers per hour now the reason it's intensified recently is because it's over some fairly warm sea but as it works its way towards the west the sea there isn't quite so warm and so that will actually make it decreased slightly in its intensity so by the time it reaches just the southern tip of the them there shouldn't be such a monster of a storm in fact the winds we're expecting to be around eighty kilometers per hour gusts on top of that we're expecting landfall on the twenty fifth at around eighteen g.m.t. and then it's going to work its way studly towards the southern parts of time. the

weather sponsored by qatar means. forced to flee from syria to lebanon many refugee mothers risked childbirth in terrible conditions delivery is very difficult here in lebanon it's ghostly i can't go back to syria now because of the war but one lebanese woman is committed to helping them. become friends with every woman i turn around she is important to me this is there are a few g.'s midwife at this time on al-jazeera world you are making very pointed remarks where on line the main u.s. response to drug use and the drug trade over the last fifty years has been criminalized or if you join us on saturday no evil person just wakes up of it in the morning and says i want to cover the world in darkness this is a dialogue and that could be what leading to some of the confusion i like about people saying they don't actually know what's going on join the colobus

conversation at this time on al-jazeera. again you're watching al-jazeera mind of our top stories palestinian christian leaders have rejected the u.s. decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital calling a dangerous and insult these are the latest pictures of the acting lesson the patriarch of jerusalem crossing the israeli checkpoint on his way to. north korea is called the latest round of un sanctions an act of war state news agency says a stronger nuclear deterrence program is the only way to frustrate the u.s. the u.n.

village we were sent into exile leaving everything we owned behind i remember every detail even the trees the streets the farms as if it was yesterday. so to bury two of his children here for her was killed during the civil war in the one nine hundred eighty s. and died during the lebanese israeli war eleven years a. though palestinians were not only involved in caught up in lebanon's own conflicts they have been denied many basic right to prevent their resettlement here long term. as a palestinian i have seen nothing but humiliation displacement oppression and deprivation for sixty nine years we lived unbearable bitter moments away from our beloved palestine we will die for the sake of palestine. the first wave of palestinian refugees arrived in one nine hundred forty eight they came with whatever they could carry thinking it was only a short time before they could return small tent settlements were set up in time those settlements became densely populated neighborhoods. it is estimated that

seven million palestinians live in the diaspora more than half are stateless they have no citizenship in any country according to the united nations the majority live in occupied palestinian territory and in surrounding countries jordan hosts more than three million palestinians more than half a million live in syria well at least they used to because of the war more than one hundred thousand fled to europe and elsewhere around fifty thousand of them sought refuge here in lebanon it was an added strain to aid agencies that were already overstretched some four hundred fifty thousand palestinians are registered with the un in lebanon but according to the first ever census by the lebanese government more than half of them have left the country in recent years. man comes in with more than fifty percent left due to the difficult economy conditions they are deprived from the basic rights they don't have a job opportunities. muhammad but he says he's searching for

a way out he tried but failed to smuggle his family to turkey from where he planned to reach europe he also tried to apply for immigration to canada. the economic conditions here are bad and we banned from working in many professions we dream of travelling because here it's hard to provide our children with food but just because i want to leave doesn't mean i have given up on palestine and i want to return. palestinians hold on to that right adopted by the un general assembly it has been decades but many like sod it believe that one day palestine will be there is again and one day his grandchildren or their children will bring his body back to his hometown. beirut. dozens of people being taking part in a vigil in beirut on ring several woman murdered in the past week the deaths of three arab women as well as british embassy worker rebecca dykes sparked outrage activists are raising awareness of widespread violence against women in lebanon

they're demanding better protection reporters without borders and amnesty international calling for the media release of al-jazeera journalist mahmoud his say it's now been more than a year since he was arrested and jailed in egypt human rights watch has condemned the imprisonment the organization says his detention shows egypt's deep rooted intolerance for free expression and what he's saying is accused of broadcasting false news to spread chaos which he and al jazeera strongly denies repeatedly complained of mistreatment in jail supporters of russian opposition leader lexan of on the been gathering in several cities in a bid to get his name on the ballot for presidential elections in march. i would only have been banned from running due to a criminal conviction but he says the constitution allows him to run because his sentence was suspended last week president vladimir putin announced he will seek

a new six year term in march as votes let's cross live to rory chalons in moscow really just more about what the all me novell he's been up to today. it's a busy day of opposition activity here in russia on sunday essentially the valley has been trying to do is pass one of the early stages in the election process that we might see hopes allow him to run against putin in march of next year and what you have to do as one of the steps is gather if you are an independent least five hundred people in one place and get them to endorse you as their candidate so he has tried to set up in at least twenty cities around russia these events and in moscow because he was being refused various venue's he basically had to set up a tent on the on the beach or on the river in

a leafy parts outside the city and get his supporters down there he was thinking that many of these meetings around the country were going to be shut down that's why he's organized so many of them it seems to been successful though he got seven hundred people together in moscow to endorse him but as you just said earlier on in your intro it is very unlikely that he is going to be allowed to run against putin next year he has this conviction the kremlin sees him as a threat it's very unlikely that he would actually be able to beat putin in the election but he's still a threat and still spoils the kremlin's image of putin as a kind of sainted leader so even though he has passed this administrative ministers of hurdle it's unlikely that he's actually going to be able to run next year and i suppose it's just an example of what little opposition there is rational allowed to be corny. yeah i mean there is there's another thing

going on later on in the day which is linked but it's still distinct now there were there were municipal elections in september which on the face of it not very interesting but it's there were actually some intriguing results to these municipal elections and liberal opposition parties targeted and won a large number of municipal districts in moscow yashin who is another high profile opposition figure was one of the beneficiaries of this he is now the head of municipal districts in moscow and he has spotted that this position of allows him to organize. and run demonstrations so that's what he's been trying to do he basically has gone up against the city or thor it's easy to say no he can't do that the city courts rules that demonstration planned for later today is illegal and the police have been busy this morning essentially sealing off the area and dismantling the stage that have been set up now yashin has been forced to back off

a little bit he's now saying that his supporters should still come down but rather than bring in political banners they should bring flowers to avoid any arrests i think i mean what this shows is that in the run up to march as presidential elections the tussle between the or thora t s and the fragmented opposition movements in russia is likely to heat up all right thanks for that roy. a quiet revolution in the way we work is happening all around us but some leading thinkers say governments are failing to keep the public informed automation an artificial intelligence or creating a new world where millions of jobs will simply disappear in the first of a five part series on ai lawyers league salman's which jobs could be most under threat. and you play music who understand and. in the future

is likely many people will have one of these in their home. after all it will sing songs and dance feel kids will tell you how to cook a meal. well teach math this could be a classroom assistant exactly but what interests business about these robots is that they can be put in the supermarkets and tell you where the yogurt is or go into the lobby of an office block and tell you where to meet your contact we're speaking to large blue chip companies who want to use them in their offices we're speaking to cab home providers we're speaking to hotels commonly factories to use in their showrooms. home from a variety of financial organizations banks retail supermarkets quite a large sector businesses are extremely cagey about talking about their interest in artificial intelligence not surprising given that robots or algorithms could replace humans in any number of ways jobs insurance the law financial

services other clerical roles are already being lost entire professions are projected to disappear. and if a robot can be designed to build a house in a couple of days and the movement of goods will be performed without humans then it's clear that in rich countries vast numbers of jobs in all pay grades could be at risk in agriculture designers are working on a robot which can distinguish between leaves and stalks to pick fruit very little appears outside the imagination some people are genuinely asking what jobs there might be less folk humans actually to do and one answer seems to be things with our hands because robots don't have motor skills so things perhaps like working with food or cutting hair or gardening but clearly much of this is monotonous and it's not very well paid so who will give us money or pay for things if we no longer work

or raise taxes increasingly it's being suggested that a so-called universal income may be the answer being paid not to work today suddenly universal basic in. com is a serious policy option there's lots of experiments going on as to how hard can be done what effect does it have it's moved much more into the mainstream and that i think is the consequence of all the changes that we have seen going on to provide the united states of america every six states of america with a decent basic income one thing they're using it. would cost a quarter of the military so it's not feasible but the biggest question of all is whether it would make us happy or could it be that technology offers us the option of having almost all time to ourselves and if so is it a dream come true or would we get bored cautiously the world of business is asking where the boundaries are and what we are prepared to accept lawrence lee al-jazeera london earlier we spoke to journal bryson who is an associate professor at the

university of bath and researches artificial intelligence she believes in the future will always need humans to program robots but replacing humans with algorithms can be tricky. it's important to remember that the a in artificial intelligence the ai the artifact a robot is always built by someone spot by someone it's designed by someone there's always a human or a human corporation that's responsible so the question is what would motivate corporations to get rid of all of their humans and replace their humans entirely with robots so it makes sense to try to make your human employees as productive as possible but it's not clear that it makes sense to have a company with no people whatsoever we have already had artificial intelligence in various forms for decades depending how you define the term so if you're looking for something that's exactly you're not going to see it ever we're not going to build a robot that's exactly like in the you know they put the computer stuck on it that's
