act is that article thirty five a the indian constitution that gives me or its autonomy and special status including that only indigenous residents can buy property there is a case being heard in the supreme court on whether it's a valid part of the constitution at all now the rumor is that the indian government ahead of the case may be issuing an ordinance that's a temporary government order to suspend article thirty five a that's causing a lot of anger in the region in fact that local politicians in indian administered kashmir have united in saying if that happens it could void india's instrument of a session to kashmir that was signed in one nine hundred forty seven and provides the basis for india's entire legal claim to the region now this along with the courts that hospitals have been asked to stockpile two months worth of medicine as well as ten thousand indian paramilitary troops being flown into the region and arrested dozens of prescribed separatist this weekend have really added to credence to these rumors that something big is going to happen and this is cost panic buying

it fuel stations and many places that have cooking oil or petrol are right now emptied out it would snow fall on the highway that means refueling trucks can't get in to making a tense situation even worse the forces loyal to the libyan one would have to have killed nineteen people that's according to a member of the libyan column and militiamen apparently attacked people in the town of that's in the southwest where half those forces have taken over several although fields they have destroyed or miss a hundred houses the men are also accused of stealing hundred cars and destroying phones the former libyan general huffed is said to employ a sudden these militia men and his battle to control territory. supergirl meerut president trump puts off raising tyrus on chinese goods but the only going to trade for continued. cuba votes will have more on the draft constitution that many

say could open the country's economy up to the world. the wild weather is finally beginning to clear away from europe but certainly it's been incredibly windy and wet for some of us recently in fact just in the past twelve hours or so with the molten where we've seen the worst of the weather this is what it was like there you can see the waves really strong pounding parts of malta and the winds have been something else and so that way some windy weather them will continue to work its way south with away from us and then eventually out towards the east over parts of turkey but during the day today still going to be pretty stormy for us in the southern parts of greece so afghans looking very windy

and at times a pretty wet as well they could be some storm damage here that system though as i say as we head into tuesday works its way away from us and over parts of turkey behind it well there's plenty of bright weather to be found in fact for many western parts of europe is still incredibly warm the temperature in london will be up at seventeen degrees remember this is february the temperatures should be nowhere near this high at this time of year for the other side of the mediterranean we've also been seeing that stormy weather mostly over parts of libya but also we've been seeing a few showers a for parts of egypt as well now windy wet weather still with us during the day today then particularly over the eastern parts all of libya gradually clear as though as we head into cheese day. sponsored. them in green bacteria in a bar and. escaping from volcanic well. this is really the heart. in the for what happened to experiments exploring and.

how cancer the impacts of climate change the science of capturing using nature on the fly and on the back of my montagne and the i just have to contend. of a lot of the top stories here at. least twenty five people are now thought to have been killed along venezuela's border with brazil as security forces try to block aid coming into the country meanwhile the u.s. vice president is jus in bogota the colombian capital to meet the opposition leader . and other regional leaders. the afghan taliban is co-founder and

political head is in talks aimed at ending the country's seventeen year war. among several senior taliban members who will meet the u.s. special envoy. for four days negotiations people in india. say there's a shortage of fuel and gas as the military continues its crackdown on separatists shops and businesses were closed over the weekend in protest against the government . it's being described as a massacre that took place away from the eyes of the world and went largely unnoticed even inside the democratic republic of congo days paulse before details began to emerge about what exactly had happened in new york a remote territory in the south west of the country a un investigation found an attack happened in the december the sixteenth and seventeenth the dispute was between two tribes so far five hundred thirty five

bodies have been identified the acting you'll be administrated says between three thousand and four thousand men were involved in the bloodshed about a dozen men have been arrested so far also jabari has the latest. this is what's left of the remote town of you in southwestern democratic republic of congo much of it was destroyed last december and violence between the big ten day and been new tribes this village has been home to both tribes but ethnic tensions have been rising over the months leading up to the syntax. not many knew about it until the un recently discovered a number of mass graves like this one in the town. this woman says she was attacked while attending a church service. with. we were in the church when the attackers from the big ten

day tribe came in and they started questioning us about our identity and organization and whether or not we were from the big new try i said i was just visiting but they said they were no longer picking any child now you're killing everybody from now on inside the church killing my husband my four kids they cut me with a machete you must be to die i will keep in hospital the congolese authorities initially said this was a spontaneous act as a result of a long simmering dispute between the two tribes that suddenly flared up over the burial of a new tribal chief. but sources tell al-jazeera the violence was a carefully planned massacre with elements of the army involved and the prosecutor's office in the capital kinshasa has announced twelve people have been arrested and are waiting to go on trial in a military court military officials say the investigation will be conducted by the army because the attack was carried out with military precision using weapons of war but for the survivors there is little hope in what's left of their homes.

everything is destroyed in this village and no one is coming back here again we have lost many of our friends and neighbors people need to come back so we can live like before it's too sad vocal about days i decide to do that we don't understand the reasons for all this violence from our but ten day brothers against us the government needs to take responsibility to restore peace and stability as we don't have anything left we can't even vote now because everything has been destroyed by fire in our house four hundred sixty five houses and buildings were burnt down or pillaged including primary schools a health care center and the office of the independent electoral commission. nearly sixteen thousand people have fled across the congo river into the neighboring republic of congo since the massacre. while the survivors wait in line to receive

tens from doctors without borders the task of slowly rebuilding begins in this remote corner of the democratic republic of congo. zero. now in nigeria unemployment and poverty are forcing many young people to turn to crime and they're tapping quite literally into the country's rich resources of oil africa's largest producer of crude is losing millions of dollars because of it bothers her much also reports from the niger delta locals say only way they can survive. it's about a thirty minute boat ride from the nearest village past a dead or dying man girls of the niger delta oil polluted creeks. hidden inside the mangrove swamps become across this and illegal refinery. one of many illicit operations in this part of nigeria some of these men say they have college diplomas

and university degrees but they can't find work. after. living. in the villages. village most of the stolen crude oil is shipped offshore is refined locally is this the maze of thousands of nigerians engaged in a practice locally known as oil bunkering there hacked into pipelines to steal the crude oil and then sell it they say this is not healing they're just taking what they insist is rightfully this decades of drilling by the big oil companies has poisoned the waters of the delta all the. solomons his fisherman who used to line the waters for a livelihood had been getting poorer and poorer he feels for many years now the people in the region have been marginalized by the federal government and that's why they are fighting back in the only way they see they can by taking some of the riches for themselves but it has risks. so.

lytle yeah. there have been some arrests and the situation in the region remains unstable vive illegal refined products are sold at the international waters in exchange for us that's why there's the proliferation of arms in the niger delta area. and the security forces are complicit seriously complicit in all that is taking place the ad the ones that give this people protection security forces often patrol and god or pipelines they deny being involved in the illegal activities our mind it is to protect the firefly and that is. you know very steadfast. meant in protecting. we don't compromise and i don't see any of his

a compromising. anybody talk to the matter with the highest punishment of the he. set out to be losses on the last for a region rich in oil and gas there will be people who feel they are not benefiting . and that will only raise tensions further. in the niger delta president trying to says he is extending a deadline to increase tires on chinese imports after what he calls substantial progress in the latest round of trade deals with beijing higher level is a more than two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese products was due to be imposed from march the first gabriel elizondo has more from washington. on sunday we'd been getting some information out that the discussions on sunday were not so much focused on these individual issues but they were focused more on how to enforce a potential agreement so that was

a good sign coming out of the meetings on sunday and when people are talking about how to enforce an angry agreement that usually means they're pretty close to one but the good news here for both beijing and washington at least is it looks like they're very close to a deal more now on the reaction from beijing with katrina you look chinese state media here in beijing have announced substantial progress on these talks and the delay to the end of the trade trade truce and this is definitely good news here in beijing we're expecting a very vibrant response from the chinese financial markets a surge in shanghai and hong kong and this is definitely something that chinese businesses will also be welcoming we have to remember that china is also undergoing a slowing of its economic growth and people are very concerned about the future of china and these trade tensions have not been helping and especially when you look at the manufacturing and the tech industries there have been thousands of job losses over the last few months so this is definitely good news this will help to

restore confidence. for people running businesses here in china and in the economy generally it's also good news for u.s. businesses who are operating here in china some of these issues that they were discussing during these trade talks real sticking points of intellectual property technology transfer they've been waiting years if not decades to see some sort of concrete regulation how they can better manage these things so this is good news for them as well the not quite celebrating yet we still have to see what the details will be if president xi and president donald trump do meet in america sometime in march so they'll be watching this very closely indeed. people in japan's okinawa profits voted against the relocation of a controversial u.s. military base but the government announced a few hours later it intended to press ahead with its plans anyway ok nolen say that ireland bears an unfair burden of the u.s. military presence in japan is home to more than fifty thousand troops in the

largest u.s. air base in the asia pacific region. ballots are being counted in cuba after millions of people voted on whether to approve a new constitution the government says it offers more freedoms while still embracing communism as the official political ideology but it's proving divisive as mariana sanchez reports now in the capital. and mobilization in old havana more than one thousand volunteers are promoting the referendum. you have to tell people to come down and vote united. and also you have a way. to encourage people to go to polling stations. from house to house and last call before voting closed. there's been a lot of negative campaigning against the proposal so we're here to explain the truth of. the draft constitution recognizes limited private property

opens the cuban economy to international markets and limits presidential terms and novelty in cuba with the castro brothers held power for sixty years. the constitution we had was old now it's more futuristic based on the new ideals that have been leading us into a better country although many here say the constitution will officially recognize policies that are already in place critics saving and trying meant of socialism as the flow of force will overshadow the modernisation if they bring to the country. the proposed social and economic changes may be modest but they signal an acceptance that change is needed to turn around cuba's stagnant economy but. it all seems to indicate the reality is taking center stage and that the cuban government knows it must fight the economic battle you know he can do that with an inefficient

state in the private sector drowned by regulations. there are opponents to the draft resolution some say it doesn't go far enough others say it is too socially liberal but they have the opportunity to vote no which in cuba is change indeed. i guess i'm just i just haven't a cuba. green book has been named best picture at this year's academy awards in los angeles the film tells a story of a friendship between an african american concert pianist and his italian american driver in the one nine hundred sixty is it also won oscars for best supporting actor and best original screenplay but reynolds has more now from the red carpet. just the cademy word for best picture which a green book a choice that is already generating some backlash with critics saying the film is a superficial take on race relations in the united states the best director award went to. war rome for roma and that film also picked up the best foreign language

olivia colman one best actress for her role as the man queen in the favorite and rami malek took on an os her for his portrayal of the tormented rock star or freddie mercury in bohemian rhapsody spike lee the veteran director took home a an oscar for best adapted screenplay that's the first time that he's managed to take a statuette back from the ceremony and lady gaga although she she was up for a best actress award didn't win that one best song for shallow from her film a star is born. one best supporting actor again for the green book and regina king won best supporting actress for her portrayal in beale street could top .

this take up to the top star is here in town to sarah at least twenty five people are believed to have been killed along venezuela's border with brazil as security forces try to block foreign aid coming into the con. tree and the u.s. vice president mike pence is jus in bogota the colombian capital to meet the opposition leader one guy doe and other regional leaders. at the moment we estimate there are twenty five people dead and eighty four injured we don't control the hospital the military controls it the people they killed they put them in a vehicle and took them to a military base that's why we're not sure of the exact number of did. the afghan taliban is co-founder and political head is in custody for talks aimed at ending the country's seventeen year war. dar is among several senior taliban members who meet the u.s.

special envoy. for four days a top seventy death or explains why battles presence is being seen are so important these one of the founders of the taliban he is the political leaders he's the political head of their office here he has been in prison in pakistan until october of last year and his release is seen to be a man who can be part of this negotiating process who can actually implement things on the ground of course the challenges remain we know what are they talking about they're talking about a cease fire they talk about the withdrawal of u.s. troops they're talking about getting the taliban to talk to the afghan government which at the moment the taliban has refused to do so and one about the timeline of that and bringing the taliban into the political fold and no longer being an armed militant group. green book has been named best picture at this year's oscars the film tells a story of a friendship between an african-american concert pianist and his italian american

driver in the one nine hundred six is it also won for best supporting actor and best original screenplay writer of today there is the latest headlines from here about coming up next it's techno. lost and abandoned. and say. what i want. is giving pakistan's lost children a new chance at life. green bacteria in the tree. superheated gas. in. two minutes exploring and by did because how council of climate change. explores the science of capturing. this is a show about innovation. we're going to explore the intersection of

humanity and we're doing it in a unique way this is science by scientists. fossil fuels pairing the model. with global economic growth comes global. greenhouse gas since the one nine hundred fifty s. the u.s. space agency has been monitoring carbon dioxide levels. in two thousand and thirteen climate history is made at the moment station in hawaii. the ninth of may we measured c o two. to go over four hundred. which is a milestone you can say. we think this is a significant milestone. fact that. we're currently is

higher than it has been in the last at least two million years. was also significant is the rate of increase is rapid. this computer generated image shows the flow of c o two across the globe the intense reds indicate increased burning of fossil fuels during the four and winter of two thousand and six which in turn generates. over north america europe and asia scientists around the world have evidence indicating increased levels of. atmosphere behind rising temperatures extreme droughts and extreme storms associated with global warming and climate change the prime scientists say carbon dioxide to. nature can provide

a path for carbon capture through photosynthesis trees and plants to. production has outpaced the growth of the forests global temperatures continue to climb higher. ever recorded one way to stop rising sea levels is to reduce dangerous emissions but research is a taking a. look into science to come up with methods to capture through innovation one experimental plan would inject carbon emissions underground could be turned into and stored indefinitely welcome to techno i know. and a theme and i think the landscape. i think is beauty isn't just on the surface there's a lot more happening. iceland

one of the most geologically active areas. according to iceland's national energy authority the tiny island nation with more than two hundred active volcanoes. but even when they aren't erupting in iceland's many volcanic molten magnifies just . that results in a landscape covered with hot spots and open gas. in the middle of one of these hot spots. fueled entirely by the energy from the ground below the geothermal power generated here provides more than enough energy tonight. capital city of mecca get there we're right on the edge of a volcanic area aren't we how important is for the fight with power the power plant located here if it weren't for the world where the world that's where we have from

electricity. is a chemical engineer and search for energy. she took us to the top of the ball to get a close up view station. this is the geothermal version of an oil rig. the flow of. more than two hundred degrees off of. the river. three hundred degree. across from the ground. yeah basically with their limbs or crux of the ground rhetoric. war third or you know just regular work that's circulating through. our congress bring a thing that you can really imagine what. yeah yeah i mean it's much more than that

this is just you know for. us is incredible but what's happening here is actually as a result of what's going on thousands of inmates have been a fly think the ruckus so horace that when engine is religious so at a really safe place he said that in itself a very family gases including the i would say the scientists hear all sorts of things especially. the set of beliefs into the atmosphere. as it turns out. and is also a giant tree home to one of the world's most innovative plans to capture carbon dioxide c good. is a research professor at the ice and he's part of the team behind. the carbon capture program of energy even though this is

a green energy point five percent of what comes out of the ground is made gases cup and dioxide and hunched in some fight. the idea is to take home the missions and inject them back into the ground permanently theoretically you could take all your tool that's going to be released in the future you know from burning all of no fossil fuel on earth you could capture it and you can store it in the ocean egregious you know with all of it all of it you know about this five tons of carbon that's kind of the estimated you know emission of most of if we if we a myth of the current rate increase causing climate change causing acidification of the ocean etc unless we capture of the c o two that's incredible that this carbon capture method could be the solution to. eliminating our carbon footprint well it's not the silver bullet i mean it's not the solution is one of the

solutions the car fixed program was conceived in the labs in two thousand and six by two thousand and twelve it was fully implemented in the field it takes advantage of something else tectonic heritage provides the sun take a look at the landscape has is highly dramatic and it's covered in this dark and jagged edge long right above and below the surface it's called. volcanic lava cools and it's perfect for capturing carbon because it's highly reactive with. this is the key ingredient to this whole innovative process isn't there this is a chunk of course after looking at it but it's the black material that's the post office and then you can see white spots sort of in between this actually moving calcium carbonate that we are forming that's the c o two. so these white spots is actually this isn't just a chunk of it this is

a very nice calcium carbonate crystal cultured christo. but this is not really representative of what you what we form within the ground during our injection that's more like the spots you can see the possibly this process is happening here in iceland naturally for example in order to ferment areas where we have come there to interacting with our soft turning this into into carbon minerals so then we thought why not test this interesting idea out here in west london when we have our geothermal. providing a source of c o two that come in because. inject it back into the ground and see if we can utilise accelerate this not sure process so the process is happening naturally here it's happening at a much faster speed did you predict that yeah so i actually in the beginning i was involved with the project in my in as a part of my ph d. bush the multiple projects that mineralization to occur within five years time but

. it proved out that the processes in foss them out to protect the coast the c o two was turned into stone within only two years two and once the c o two is turned into stone we don't have to worry about that it's not going anywhere it's just but it in the ground as raw the process begins at the production while. steam is sent down these pipes and into the main power plant below is used to tend the plants giant ted winds which produced electricity. impressive for bonds them out there in the press in. the water as they can through heat exchanger weather. with this. thing the pipes on their readers are souring and heating up. once the steam is usually been leased back into the atmosphere for the car fix project the gas is about point five percent of steam going to be special cleaning toilets

that's where the common touch a process. so the guesses get a shower what does that mean yeah they actually flow through a column where we have what the first falling falling down because three rows in the opposite direction i guess meets a liquid yeah and during that sort of interaction the c o two one had some sort of fight they dissolved into the water droplets that were sent back down the pipe to this injection several hundred meters from the main plant so this is really the heart of innovation in this for what happens so here we are actually interacting water containment this on c o two into the ground into the boss off the coast or where the chemical reactions place and turn it into the rock so the gas has been dissolved in water that was coming up through the pipe here in the pipe we

have or are about thirty meters per second of compounds theme actually containing this salt c o two and aides to us flowing through here if you look through the window you can see that there are actually i mean bubbles are visible even though we have a lot of fluid still flowing through it and that's because all the costs of the salt it's hard to believe that there's actually these is the second. of water content of gas flowing through here and just the slightest yeah it looks it looks empty but if you look closely you can see so what is more profit off moving around a little bit so it is actually happening and you can see it's on the presser nine point five hours the final step in the process is where the chemical reaction happens the water is pumped down this notch pipe to a depth of one point five kilometers that's where it hits bedrock and that's where the chemical reaction takes place as they like to say it's gas it's turned to rock so what happens after that we inject the c o two was the this year two was is the

salt and water which is the acidic the the acidic waters the salt. the coast through a release.
