make the. border security post. now the journey between the two countries is just a boat ride across the river that takes twenty minutes which is why we. made it to the safety of trying to go back to say family members. extended family. we struggled so much we want to live. from studio fourteen here. welcome to the new school. war is the truth but children cannot be far behind

a report from the united nations. badly children affected and not just in the casualty numbers. indeed if these children can recover. it's a controversial republican document which. in the rush or investigation but even before its release it is driving a wedge between institutions in washington and a third between groups of migrants and. it is proof that the dismantling of the jungle which once housed them has not deterred refugees from trying to get to the. one of the still a massive humanitarian issue to address. a young group of activists in colombia taking on the government to combat deforestation in the amazon we have all the details.

you with the news grid live on air in streaming online through you tube facebook live and at al-jazeera dot com and we've all seen the pictures haven't we the ones of children suffering through war and we've almost universally reacted with the thought this should not be happening children should not be part of grown ups wars and yet as you see from these sorts of pictures and as we're going to tell you about on today's news grid it is happening and in some cases it's seemingly happening deliberately first yemen where al jazeera has obtained a u.n. report accusing the salvia coalition of causing the majority of killings and injuries of children there over the summer it says the coalition response was responsible for killing sixty eight children and wounding thirty six others during bombing campaigns from july to september and it found there were up to thirty coalition raids every day some actually targeting schools and homes but it also

points the finger at the hooty rebels blaming them for the deaths of eighteen children for wounding twenty nine. on top of all this both sides are accused of recruiting children as child soldiers so let's start with the thoughts of this is very megan she is a protection and advocacy advisor on yemen at the norwegian refugee council told us earlier that the international community must do more just to stop the conflict. this report details children who have been killed in attacks in violence but it doesn't account for the millions of others that are affected by the conflict including thousand that have. hundreds of thousands that have been affected by cholera children that are not able to go to school children that are on the brink of dying of starvation so i'd like to think it'll be taken seriously but it remains to be seen i it is astounding to me that we have

a united nations security council that has not commented on yemen in now more than seven months that the scale of suffering in yemen is incomparable that we have twenty two million people in need a west peaking to families who are fleeing their homes because of violence in constructing houses out of plastic bags and people don't have enough to eat they're forced to eat whatever they can find this this sort of suffering is inexcusable and we'd really like to see some action taken from the u.s. the u.k. and the united nations security council that we're seeing that all parties to this conflict have complete disregard for the impact of the conflict on civilians and the numbers might be increasing or decreasing but we can never be absolutely sure what those numbers are because some of these areas are so hard to reach in any case any attack that impacts civilians or forces them to leave their homes is clearly in violation of the rules of war and something we call on parties to to stop

immediately. so that was a little earlier today in a moment we're going to be speaking live to a professor of child and adolescent mental health about the long term effect all of this has on children so send in your questions hash tag as i could of course it could be on twitter at i j english look for the tweets there and reply in the thread at facebook dot com slash al-jazeera if you're watching the live stream plays pop your comments in there as we go along or send us a question on what's happening plus months of full five hour one triple one four nine well this war in yemen is already having a toll on children of course but for those who have disabled magine that comes with a whole more set of challenges look at us. by the minute the idea this time in the not when the mom said. this time and the

man on the on the not. forgotten when the minister met her on on the island now you are lucky that when the nine yes i do i can i know by then they know they i would honestly i don't know how yes. but i'm i i i get them and now i shall pass by your side larry i imagine and to me it's sad imagine my. so that's yemen think about syria too of course almost seven years of war there

driving the largest refugee crisis in the world and of course impacting millions of children we see these the latest numbers which we found from unicef the united nations children's. charity as we look at the numbers here sorry for the resolution there but in syria six million children affected out of a total of thirteen and a half million and the numbers just get more well it works in a way when you think about people have had to leave their homes three million people nearly three million simply forced to leave their homes five point four million more than five point four million are syrian refugee children there are just so many of them the numbers don't get any better and in fact those are the most up to date numbers as you see there just drag it over a little bit two thousand and seventeen humanitarian results those numbers from unicef right up to date well still with syria the united states is now taking

a tough stand against suspected chemical weapons attacks in syria something which affects children but everybody of course. ministers not ruling out military action as well to deter syrian government forces after a suspected chlorine attack in duma on thursday stephanie deca more with more on that from antakya in southern turkey near the border with syria. eastern water is one of the so-called deescalation zones but it doesn't feel like it on the ground this is the last rebel held area close to the capital damascus the siege by government forces for years now allegations of another chlorine gas attack doctors say patients showed symptoms in lied with inhalation at the gas artery that are the . this is renewed aggression by the regime using touring gas against a place where people lived in two months this is the food chemical attack in fifteen days. the u.s. has reacted concerned about the syrian government's chemical weapons program and

capabilities its chemical weapons should have been destroyed after decommissioning deal brokered by russia five years ago that followed what the obama administration said was a red line chemical attack in the same rebel controlled area which killed at least one thousand three hundred people the trumpet ministration has taken a more active approach in reaction to an alleged chemical weapons attack in north eastern syria in april last year the u.s. fired fifty nine tomahawk missiles at a syrian airfield where they believe the attack originated and now the americans are hinting they suspect the syrian government still has chemical weapons. the un estimates eastern ghouta is home to around four hundred thousand syrians starving and malnourished getting aid to these people is fraught with challenges the un special envoy to syria egeland says that there is a desperate need for humanitarian pause in eastern guta he added that both the syrian government and the armed opposition are failing hundreds of thousands of

civilians who are stuck in these besieged areas it seems almost seven years into this war and despite the political meetings taking place many thousands of kilometers away it is the military option that remains the priority for all sides stephanie decker are just there and. we return now to our focus on children we have is joining us a professor of child and adolescent mental health at the university of leicester and we thank you for your time so. it's hard to know even where to start with this sort of story but tell me about the immediate effects that all of this has on children a child who's going to school has living a normal life and suddenly bombs start falling from the sky. exactly that's the first question is to try to make sense of of the catastrophe event but that does not mean that we cannot put some kind of structure and different stages up helping children no matter how difficult the circumstances are show you to show i get you

out i to think of the immediate effect when the humanitarian exposes is the priority. but then we have to direct impacts on children why nice that what they obviously experience what they see what happens to them and to their loved ones but we also have being direct exposure to trauma which can be more subtle or less reasonable but actually quite difficult to break that peace through the loss of community supports and impact on their parents and school schools it's a big point and we're actually going to be talking more about schools a little later there's an education summit going on but the fact that school is usually the one constant in a child's life they can rely on that in a way i'm going to go to school five days out of seven take that out of the equation what happens exactly say it's as if we taking away the key protective factor the safe haven in

a child's life and the next question is how we can get a place that we've seen within the constraints of the courts leaked the safe haven is this some kind of normality while the conflict goes on and that's extremely difficult of course does it ever go away i'm just wondering about you know in your experience in your. research that you've done with a child who has grown up i mean do they ever as i say does it ever leave them. well there will never forget and i think the same applies to all types of trauma from national abuse neglect domestic violence all the you know the west human disasters that people experience but here we're talking about the emotional impact and we're talking about children and adults cup prosody to leave normal life and then he said believe very strong evidence that can do that the question is how long this goes on

for and the chain of events and vulnerabilities and traumas that it will leave i'm just reading some notes here talking about psychology helping on several levels. again. the just such delicate people children that they're absorbing so much and then so much going on for them putting a level of psychology on top of that and treat i mean again how does that how does that help how careful do you have to be. yes and then actually absorb a lot more than we think even very young children in just that will expects to in different ways that will not that thick you lay so it can be mixed what they absorb so you may think a child is behaving well and they have not suffered any trauma so psychology mental health costs. in the modern well cause a lot more level such you mentioned a lot more opportunities to help it's not just through direct interventions which

obviously many important but they may not be possible for a while anyway they may not be available so the different levels are doing still safety to do to change environments we're talking about whether it have huge a concert with schools to make them which centered to train hugh money daddy and stuff not to become psychologist but to take two to adopt the second show shall perspective a lot of what we're doing in our training in a program i work on called when i when it's what children program and then ask weighty building their lives to to build that is really a sort of schools communities again that he's a lot psychology can offer to develop strategies within existing supports not create new ones and then we have the other levels of. new programs which are brief cycle education coping strategies programs which

non-specialists can deliver us on this electronic component that and of course what you indicate at the beginning of interventions by specialist for those who do not respond and if they are available of course so much for young people to deal with is an honest post on this i thank you for your time and for your expertise on this . where to start with this one a down to zero dot com in the archives there's so much strong content so just picked out a couple of recent ones of that this interactive piece here on series childrens of warner really does cover all the bases we've been talking about the issues of schooling of potentially being recruited for war the psychological toll so there's that one in the interactive section and there's also this council which we haven't talked about today individual stories from children who have in some cases survived multiple was just think of what they've seen think of the impact it has had on them you will find their stories and so many more by searching for children of war at al-jazeera common you can use the filters to narrow down your search into different

sections of the website. who but if the heavy stuff isn't very important stuff for us to deal with moving on to something completely different the white house which is expected to release a memo reportedly accusing the f.b.i. and justice department of misleading a judge this is during the investigation into the alleged russian interference in the two thousand and sixteen presidential election it is a document prepared by republicans on the house intelligence committee. the f.b.i. has objected to to its release those saying it is misleading and it reveals sensitive intelligence information perhaps no surprise we see this from donald trump as a tweet from just a few hours ago the top leadership in investigators that the f.b.i. and the justice department haven't this is the important thing politicized the sacred investigative process in favor of democrats and against republicans something which would have been unthinkable just a short time ago so that's his latest salvo saying that the whole process has been

politicized can really help that outside the white house hello kimberly i guess everyone's on tenterhooks waiting for this one. that's right but i think you said it well in your transition there at this washington nonsense really put into context comparison to the story that precedes this but yeah washington has got itself into a bit of a tizzy over this one it really has been gaining steam all week has both sides really essentially behaved like children pointing the fingers at one another politicizing a process over this memo that was drafted at the political level the house intelligence committee and congress sent to the white house the white house has taken a look at it with its legal team redacted sections and now all of washington talking essentially about when a memo is going to be released i mean certainly the president has a stoke the flames with his tweets essentially lining him up against some top law enforcement officials that he appointed that's what often makes all of the story so

absurd but in the midst of all of this there are some concerns if in fact it is proven that the department of justice and f.b.i. was in some way weaponized in the twenty sixteen presidential campaign or to the obama administration but democrats say no that's not what this is about this is really about essentially trying to undermine something far more serious and that is the probe into whether russia meddled in the twenty six thousand u.s. election or whether or not the truck campaign pain kulu did but there's one more thing that might be really of concern in all of this too is whether or not these tools have been used in some way to violate civil liberties and that is a perhaps another unintended consequence of all of this when it's released but of course we don't know until we see it is an issue and certainly the fact that these players we talk about the white house the justice department the f.b.i. there will supposed to be on the same side on play what we've seen is only institutions that's against each other and that is that is serious that's

potentially destructive. it is that it's really astonishing to see the president in direct defiance with these bodies you have to remember just a few days ago it was that the f.b.i. director christopher ray who released a statement saying he had grave concerns about this memo being released but at the same time the chief of staff john kelly here at the white house along with the president pushing on to make this public but here's the thing that could happen in all of this it may not have the explosive effect that the president's intended and could fall flat in terms of the public reaction and outcry in fact we've heard that from some top republicans already the speaker of the house paul ryan saying about thursday even john kelly telling the president that in fact this may not have the implications for national security that the president is suggesting but what we've seen is the president is consumed by this idea that in some way his presidential campaign was maligned even though he did win the white house and it seems he is

intent on making sure that people know that if he's got the proof he wants it out there kimberly said time and i think it's going to be a busy day for you regardless kindly how to tell white house correspondent. now it's a birth find who was associate deputy attorney general in the united states joining us from washington d.c. and it's always nice to talk to you sir can i do with some almost housekeeping first of all it's a question we've had actually from one of our us on facebook shelly who said shouldn't maybe couldn't the f.b.i. go to court to get an order to stop the spinning release how is this whole situation actually playing out. no the that would be like the executive branch suing itself in it's clearly a rule of constitutional law that an agency or an a one branch of government can't sue itself it's a doctrine called standing so that's impossible but i would underscore this with regard to the statement that mr trump made that it's politicized f.b.i. against him remember it was the f.b.i.

that in this extraordinary proceeding criticized heavily hillary clinton through mr komi at the time it decided not to move forward with a criminal prosecution and then it was this f.b.i. that decided to reopen the investigation because of e-mails appearing on anthony weiner's laptop that again was adverse to miss clinton's presidential ambitions so it seems ridiculous to suggest that the f.b.i. is politicized against mr trump and i would also point out that in so far as we're thinking about national security i think the largest problem is going to be that as the united states the f.b.i. cia seek in the future to recruit you know human intelligence informants they'll be confronted with well how do we know that you'll be able to keep our identities confidential look what happened in the house intelligence committee situation if politicized and our lives are at stake we don't want to become informants because

the risks that could be a long term damage to the united states security as a result of the release of this memo do you feel the muller investigation itself is under threat from all of us regardless of what does what doesn't come in this memo the fact that there are these questions in these pressure being put on the investigation is it under threat at all because i would say that it's actually been pretty strong so far they haven't been many leaks and when we've heard about it it's been when something is actually happened an indictment or arrest. well i don't think that this particular release really much undermines the motor investigation in fact having been involved in feisal warrants like this typically you have forty or fifty page supporting member in him that supports the idea there's probable cause to believe the target here was carter page is acting as a foreign agent in this instance was acting as an agent of russian government or of

an arm of the government involved with energy it wasn't even targeted at mr trump and mr trump and his associates say that carter page was at the way fringes of his campaign so it's hard to argue that this focus on mr page was targeting trump himself. and if all i can say given the natural flaws in law enforcement and you have omissions when you're seeking here suffice to warrant probable cause to target somebody for surveillance as a foreign agent if the when the the worst they have is that there was an omission stating that christopher steele who prepared a memorandum that in part was relied upon out of a you know forty or fifty page document and they didn't disclose that he was working at one time for the democratic national committee although he began his investigation at the behest of republicans that's about as clean a warrant as huge can often get in situations where you have non lawyers sometimes putting together affidavits like that so i think this is going to be what's called

a nothing burger when the american people see this is the all you say is prejudicial while they ought to inspire them with even greater conferences and that's their motto rather than less we will see it's exhausting regardless but we will see what is in this particular book or a little later on somebody for it's fine thank you. so really how is all this played out online given that this memo hasn't been released yet it runs is talking about something they don't really know about yet and considering that there is a lot that's being discussed kemal now while this memo like mall says is still creating a lot of friction between departments in washington d.c. we're also seeing very similar opposing sentiment online with strong reactions from both sides of the political sphere and it's important to know that this moment has an officially been released the hash tag release the memo has been shed of a six hundred thousand times in the past twenty four hours and some republican politicians are tweeting in support of this memo going public jeff duncan says that

the f.b.i. is right to have grave concerns as it will shake the organization down to its core and mark meadows says that it's time for full transparency while charlie cook from a right wing and n.g.o.s ads the democrats pretend to care about russia undermining our democracy yet now we have concrete evidence our government actually did and they're trying everything they can to prevent the release of that information on them across have been vocal against the release of this memo nancy pelosi the house minority leader has some strong words podevin nunez the congressman at the center of this to be f.b.i. memo storm she says that his dishonest actions make him unfit to serve as chairman of the house intelligence committee and that speaker paul ryan must remove him from his position and then there's the former attorney general eric holder adds that people must understand what is at stake by the release of this bogus contrived

newness memo it uses normally protected material and puts at risk our intel capabilities in order to derail a legitimate criminal investigation this is unheard of and is dangerous and irresponsible and they have lisa who adds that this could have been handled in-house with. an investigation evidence and a finding and there is no reason to release speculations absent of proof to the public other than to create chaos now i found this quite interesting it's a study from the german marshall fund called hamilton sixty eight and it found that the same hash tag released the memo is now trying doing among russian bots on social media now they track russian influence on the campaign and two democratic politicians dianne feinstein and adam schiff have called on twitter and facebook to investigate these use of bots and their links to the online campaign as you can see from this graph release the memo has is really quite high on the agenda and some

conversation online at the moment now towards a responded by saying that they had not identified any significant activity connected to russia or the hash tag campaign and facebook said that it is committed to protecting the platform from bad activists who undermine democracy now forty speaking this case has sparked further concern that it could damage relations between u.s. intelligence agencies and politicians on how secrets are briefed with the on the understanding that it won't end up in the public domain so send us your thoughts on this is the newsgroups or message me directly. thank you we got this recent article from al-jazeera com i actually thought it was just about questioning of attorney general gestations but if you scroll down there is a whole lot more all of the names the investigations the controversies that you have heard about as they are explained point by point it is a very helpful resource for a story that has been around for a while and as you've heard it is not going anywhere search for russia trump probe

and then just look for this specific specific distro specific hospital which as i say refers to jeff sessions. now early in the show we were talking about the effects of war on children the other thing which suffers of course and conflict and we mention this it's a child's education and there is a summit right now in senegal and increasing the number of children in school across the globe it's trying to raise three point one billion dollars to support children in the world's poorest countries more than two hundred sixty million children and youth don't go to school for some it's because they can't afford to others as we've seen because of war and social barriers as well well sub-saharan africa has the highest number of children who are not in school and this is to sticks unfortunate get worse as the ages go up here we go the u.n. says more than a fifth of children between ages six and eleven aren't getting an education one fifth for adolescents we're talking twelve to fourteen years that figure is now one

in three then we go up to the fifteen to seventeen bracket nearly sixty percent of youth are not in school and important to note as well is the gender disparity nine million girls between the ages of six and eleven will never go to school that compares to six million boys. a few more numbers for you here just want to show you this actually a map which i think illustrates the issue very clearly is from unesco the dark blue numbers countries i'm sorry the ones with the worst record so if we will that wasn't let's try again we're going to zoom in a little bit here and look at some of these countries sudan that is fourth on the list forty five percent of children are not in school the worst on the list though is unfortunately the newest country in the world as we often say the youngest country south sudan nearly seventy percent of children in primary school who should be at primary school simply not it's nicholas whop joining us now he is at this education conference in dhaka in senegal i've thrown

a lot of numbers out there just now nicholas but it highlights just how serious this is particularly in africa. absolutely true kemal and every single person i speak to that is attending this conference are anxious they want to see donor countries to step up to the plate to ensure that the millions of people that you mentioned just earlier on that ease millions of children have access to schools now for the past decade there's been a lot of focus to try to bring children in school but not enough focus on trying to keep them in school what we're seeing here in senegal for instance is that you have a ninety five percent enrollment rate but you have a very high drop or drop by rate in secondary education around sixty percent so what is happening in school that makes children want to leave the education system of course there's the issue of war sometimes but there's also the issue of the

quality of education and this is something that people here are are are trying to address obviously education is not just about going to school and there are new innovative way in which various u.n. agencies and other other agencies are trying to find ways to get people into an education so unicef is piloting the system of broadcasting courses through the radio instead of building schools and here as we speak at the moment right behind me in the congress building you have president president multi-cell world leaders who are getting together and are going to give out the numbers that they're going to pledge to enhance their support to education because for the last decade western countries in particular either. given the same amount of money to education and in some areas especially in

sub-saharan africa and in francophone africa those numbers have dropped so now we're waiting for the new numbers to come in already a significant. that we've seen from developing countries we're hearing the summit seventeen point six billion dollars pledged by developing countries these are not the western donors that usually pledge into education so it seems that there is this will from country with countries within the continent to ensure that their children are getting educated. joining us from that education summit in senegal thanks nick. this is the newsgroup if you want to know from facebook by follow right along with us now for the story of a mexican on skinner's creative cheek and one of the kind but a bite and then later on the shooting range protests in pakistan supporters say the victim was innocent. so he wasn't the lightest on that and the headlines in a. place

to say the weather does look as he settles into ryecroft so much of the middle east over the next comes as a little more cloud just drifting its way into that east to sort of the mediterranean i think it may well cloud over but it should stay settled nineteen celsius there in beirut fifteen in the last getting up into the. for baghdad and also for kuwait city pushed a little further east was again these days last a fine and maybe want to see wintry flowers there it is pakistan for autonomy around minus seven celsius but a plus seven there for couple that are abouts for the west a fair amount of cloud maybe for cyprus for a good part of turkey but for syria lebanon jordan the sun will be up by rates twenty celsius as is the case too into jerusalem and such a woman that's into what with a high of twenty two degrees but that came away and said to continue over the next few days certainly something of

a chill in the for us here across the reagan peninsula meanwhile it stays dry on a friday for the good parts of the western cape into south africa little cloud just sliding its way in here but no significant right in the forecast for cape town i'm afraid the weather weather is over it was eastern side of the country we've seen heavy showers to the zimbabwe. hitchhiking has never been this risky. but nothing can stop them in their tracks chasing the american dream escaping poverty but the illegal route is their only option and their hope for a better life can move them into trouble braving tough conditions generally the law will put their lives in danger just to hurt them in risking it all this time when al jazeera twenty years of china's transformation. told through

one young girl's journey. from birth to adult hood. two decades following the development of a life and nation. five years on rewind returns to the story of k k the girl from quango. at this time on al-jazeera.

the headlines are down to zero dot com and so is what's tried. doing as well around the resting twenty nine women for not wearing a head job the most popular story and i would say without conflict but a whole mix of things there we were talking about saudi arabia a little bit earlier in yemen bollywood stories china human rights this is what's so good about al-jazeera five seven is the friday of stuff you get and the variety of things that you are reading as well that is what's trending on twitter with. riot police reinforcements are being sent to cali in northern france up to five

migrants were shot in a fight over food handouts afghan and eritrean refugees for two hours on the outskirts of cali and another mass brawl broke out nearby woman tasha butler has gone to cali to see what's been happening i see the interior minister of france talking about organized gangs being responsible what does that actually mean how do we define that. well what the french interior minister was talking about is water the people of calories been talking about for a while the police the human rights activists those who work with refugees and that is the fact that there are all the criminal gangs of people traffickers smugglers who are all very present and very active in the really worrying think that alarming think of people here is how they are becoming increasingly violent and some of them or of course omed now on thursday just before this was broke out the situation was that the refugees were gathered in a certain place on the outskirts of color they waiting for this food distribution

when there was some shots fired and police say that they suspect that a man should the person who shot this is the person who fired the shots i should say was possibly connected to people smugglers and that is one of the big problems here in cali and you also have a situation in which you have many people arriving each day they want to try to reach the u.k. so they are easy prey for those traffickers and some of the refugee organizations also that we spoke to told us look the situation is terrible because conditions of mostly bad for the refugees it is very cold they are sleeping outside and of course people are feeling very anxious and psychologically and physically quite damaging this is just healing and already very very difficult situation kelly thank you joining us from tally and we've also got josh who is the field manager with help refugees and he's in calories well joining us via skype josh what i want to do with you is go back to the times has just been talking about this event which has

happened the background is that there are still all these refugees and dismantling the jungle didn't take them away. what are the conditions like for them now you know well over a year since the jungle was dismantled. yeah i mean the would human rights watch used when they made a report at the end of last year was like living in hell and i think that's pretty up basically where the situation where about seven hundred people are living on the streets in cali including around two hundred people and their children under the age of eighty including children as young as ten years old and they're forced to live in situations without any form of shelter not only are they not offered show survivor shelter by the state but little shows they have tents distributed by organizations like us soaps are routinely around three times a week confiscated and destroyed by the authorities so people are forced for example it's going to be minus four degrees tonight and they're going to be ten year olds sleeping in the woods below freezing out so it. wasn't this entirely and

i don't mean to sound like an expert on the situation you clearly are but wasn't all this entirely predictable you take away the infrastructure of the jungle but the people will come back because they're desperate they want to find that way across and when people are desperate they will find a way. yeah in the situation that you're opposed both about with the violence last night it's clearly like it is clearly linked to this like when you have a like a pope a population of people who are incredibly vulnerable you are forced into situations like this like with absolute void if human rights. there is going to be people who exploit and there are criminal gangs in this situation you have exploited and yeah and basically it's invulnerable desperate communities against each other. in a way like this but they like it in a way that we see a situation whereby people are taking increasing increasing risks with their own lives trying every each whatever they perceive as safety and security of the u.k. to be with their families we've had three deaths the end of december january

including not fifteen year old boy who which main who basically choosing whether they were going to take an increasing life risks making that decision between hypothermia and police resell it and that risk to try and get their family to try to get some security so people basically increasing situation and forcing themselves basically having status risks no choice is it just how one thank you for your your insight really appreciate that if you go to me i took home the video site and searched hashtag i don't use could you find a news great clip from about a month ago i posted their video diary filmed by one of our viewers in the u.k. who volunteers in cali jackson took us around a school bus which had been well this is it here actually been converted into a marble. also a distribution warehouse for clothes and supplies spoke to the volunteers to make it all take over it's really great insight again it's an example of what you can contribute as a viewer haven't the bat. now what protesters in pakistan say was an extrajudicial

lines and cruise ship passengers all have sought the northwest passage. until two thousand and seven canada's arctic was ice bound all year but rising temperatures are melting sea ice at an alarming rate leaving open water for at least part of each year since then cargo and passenger ships from europe the u.s. canada even china have sailed through here traffic is expected to double by two thousand and twenty the arctic is an incredibly large remote and extreme region it's a hazardous place to navigate at the best of times and the remoteness means that there's no search and rescue capacity located anywhere close to the northwest passage other concerns are environmental and oil spill in these now pristine waters would be devastating to fish and wildlife the local people need for survival the rules governing shipping have to change as a experts putting the rules in place that benefit communities and protect wildlife

it includes regulations on the discharge of pollutants like grey water and sewage includes phasing out or banning some of the most toxic fuels like heavy fuel oil it it also includes restraints on emissions and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from shipping for thousands of years the indigenous people of the north the in wheat have roamed the ice water and land thanks to land claims agreements they now have a real say in how the northwest passage will be developed as well as tough environmental standards the people of the north are demanding a share of economic benefits and jobs that may come once international shipping begins using the passage regularly but then we don't have or along our coastline we need. that there are evil. intent and i think there's an opportunity there that knowledge of

the land. temperatures in the north are rising faster than anywhere else now even recreational sailors from far away can come here and find an ice free northwest passage that is eluded so many for so long then your lack of cambridge bay canada's north. we are going off the grid now with three he. what's happening well it's a case of power to the people but also power to the use this group of young colombians want to sue the government and they're accusing their leaders of putting the fish out of the country at risk and also violating their constitutional right to a healthy environment is the last act on the list they took me more or less took on and through the awareness can. you tell about the kind of limited and

rising. m.p.'s on the premier of those who know me you will. remember the joke. quite a safe in there now this is the group of twenty five the youngest is just seven years old and their main concern is deforestation in colombia's amazon other rights group called day just to see support see action they say that we are at a critical moment given the speed at which deforestation is happening in the colombian amazon the government's lack of capacity and planning as well as its failure to protect the environment makes the adoption of urgent measures necessary . and this is not the first little lawsuit of its kind recently cities like new york and san francisco sued oil companies for their role in climate change come because rain forest is roughly the size of germany and england combined but it's fallen victim of several harmful projects the country has vowed to end the

forestation by twenty twenty however a forest loss rose by forty four percent from twenty fifteen to twenty sixteen and the activists have also set up this petition saying that they would like to raise these concerns to the government so do you know anyone taking a stand for the environment a new committee would have to get your story on this is well connected else isn't the hash tag. thank you sir i haven't got to many of your comments so far but i'm going to do that right now i think the problem there is probably that they need to be some place to keep first before u.n. peacekeepers can get in there and this is what the norwegian refugee council saying just before the world needs to do more to actually stop the war pretty fiery comment here from watching on facebook live this is with regards to syria can the u.s. stop with the fight stance about caring for syria you're ready to attack a facet is used chemical weapons but really to get your heels out to protect israel even the they used chemical weapons in gaza thank you for your comments the hashtag

is a.j. newsgroup twitter facebook and whatsapp so far is going to be here in a moment with sports news looking at how the absence of n.h.l. players in chang will affect the winter games this week with the world weather.

we. thank.

welcome back fun is here to talk about is going to say ice hockey but you never say that to a canadian do you know not never i have this argument again all the signs all the winter olympics is now just a week away a lot of controversy this year is surrounding what many people say is the showpiece event of the games the men's hockey final and h.l. players will not be playing at the games for the first time since one thousand nine hundred four a decision made by the league's commissioner gary bettman now some people feel that it's a good thing that gives other players a chance to shine others though say the decision has ruined their game. many n.h.l. players have also been expressing their disappointment with being left out of the olympics one of the game's legends jaromir yakker of the czech republic who helped

his country win gold at the one thousand nine hundred eight nagen zero games believes it will negatively impact the event. but agree that he got it from good players and desensitize and of course everybody the best players in the tournament so olympics and i always believe that it's all a big should be just the splits in the world all be that it's each other now competing it's just very plain but competing against the best. ok now lots of hockey fans have been talking about this on social media here's a bit of what they've been saying joe from indiana tweeted i'm bummed out that the n.h.l. is skipping the olympics to this day one of the best hockey games i've ever seen in my life was twenty ten usa versus canada i can about one gold as i seem to remember so i'm with you there joe aaron from ohio feels much the same it grinds my gears that the n.h.l. is sending teams to play games over in china to grow the game but they won't send

players to the olympics thanks gary here is a completely different perspective from a canadian benny from toronto says olympics are more than just talk he for canadians without the n.h.l. allows for sell them and mention athletes to finally have the spotlight they deserve well joining us now is the n.h.l. editor of real sports mike straw on mike could you explain to us why n.h.l. players won't be going to the games it comes down to the fact there gary bettman and the n.h.l. couldn't agree on a deal with the. they didn't like the idea of having to postpone their league for two two and a half weeks especially as it gets down to the crunch time we're playing for it's a really for me the idea of stopping the game in a season in the middle of the year doesn't really sit well with joey more and better than as said that he can't see the league even going back in the beijing

games in two thousand and twenty two so granted that still four years away but we all know discussions will start right away so we don't know how does stedfast that men in the n.h.l. is going to be on allowing their players in the future or if they're going to stick with this we don't want to break in or in our season so is it all come down to money do you think. but at the end of the yeah it really doesn't matter what the players want you do have players who did not sign contracts with hopes of playing in the olympics this year former n.h.l. players brian gionta comes to mind captain of the united states team he had a couple offers from any show clubs but the fact that he wanted to play in the olympics. it's overruled any desire to continue is a joke career at this stage and how badly is this going to damage the tournaments

as far as the fans go you know i've been kind of wavering when it first was announced i thought it was going to kill the interest as it went on and then rosters and players started coming out you see players who might not ever got the chance to represent their their country in the olympics like for team canada you have derek roy you have for team russia calgary ranko. for the united states brian johnson as i mentioned before who hasn't been on a team in years and. it gets to that motivation of what will prove we belong on this on this grand stage so it went from yeah it's going to hurt too maybe the hockey is not going to be that bad but then we see the n.h.l. balls their game this past weekend down in tampa bay which was a big reason why they didn't want to go to the olympics because they don't want to not have an all star game and you see young players like every day that he's not going to be able to play for team canada in the olympics jack like all of us to matthew they're not going to be on team usa and it really then you start to think

about it it's going to dampen the drama it's going to not seeing some of the best under twenty five players but even under twenty one year old choir's in the world not representing their country on the grandest stage it's going to hurt hockey but i think it's going to do you. know that everything else diehard are still going to the casual fans who watch it solely or didn't start out there like me i'm. sorry as sorry mike we'll have to leave it there for now but thank you so much for your time so what do you think add the hockey tournaments at this year's olympics you can tweet me directly at after underscore is smile i'll be back with more at eight hundred g.m.t. but for now i'll hand you over to thank you it's hockey it's on ice. i live for this you cannot just make a special mention of me out but he also showed me to put you say you often hear me talking about this i myself into there actually is and i stay on the grid today she's been such an important team member we had really good and they said thank you
