time for more rain to come up towards japan the satellite picture shows that lost is going out of the right frontal system the next winds of the sea coming up from the south if it's coming in the size the potential for heavy rains certainly exists so there's the full cost of saturday yeah it's a wet $1.00 of his funnels and the less so they do to her it spreads across to south korea north korea looks fine but that could be i think fairly wet stuff in vladivostok as well to the west of that in beijing a shower 2 comes through saturday night and sunday so the temperature drops not could well be sundry but this is persistent equally potentially hundreds more likely just persistent and fairly heavy rain for very wet sunday even the risk of landslides i think returns over the weekend. there has heavy rain recently and landslides in southern china but you can see the big dip here this is rain and this

is not so although there is rain gathering in the west and your 9 and sichuan to movies words you have got a day off in shanghai and probably in hong kong where the sun is out before it starts disappear again by sunday fairly obviously south of all this and there's still some 30 heavy rain anywhere in southeast asia but big showers exist through borneo even still down towards western georgia including jakarta. after decades of being programmed with instructions data hungry computers can only on their own identifying patterns and predicting human behavior. artificial intelligence can monitor ombudsman. and decide on a future the big picture decodes the world according to ai and exposes the

bias inside the machine to on al-jazeera. watching algeria reminder of what top stories this hour the u.s. has released a video it claims shows iranian revolutionary guards removing an unexploded mine from the house of one of the tankers but the japanese owner of one of the ships says his crew witnessed flying objects moments before. iran polls the u.s. accusations are launching it says it's in charge of security in the strait of hormuz any ships were among the 1st to rescue crew from the damaged tank us. military spokesman is warning civilians to stay away from airports in saudi arabia

and the united arab emirates. a more in our top story now the reported attacks on the 2 tankers in the gulf of oman for as is there he is a professor of world studies at the university of tehran he says people need to look at the facts before accepting the u.s. version of events we have contradicting facts we have some facts that in the past at least the iranian leaders have talked about closing this foremost because of the economic pressures we have the fact that they have said that it's going to be able to serve others for them to be able to do so they also have the fact that iraq is not interested in a military confrontation with the united states we also know that iran is trying to go around the sanctions that the u.s. has imposed on iran and japan historically has been a custom of iranian oil one of the major buyers of you know iran and energy so the

other fact that i think you have to look at is the idea of targeting japanese tank here when the japanese prime minister is visiting with the iranian president and it's not a black and white situation a military judge to leaders in sudan admit they ordered the dispersal of the sit in protest in khartoum which led to the killing of dozens of demonstrators protesters managed to get round an internet blackout to release new video of last week's crackdown at army h.q. the gentle spokesman expressed regret for the deaths of protesters there sittin which lasted for weeks increase pressure and led to the eventual overthrow of president omar in bashir it's also blaming protest groups for the breakdown in talks on a transition to civilian rule mazen in fact up. what is delaying the negotiations is the false understanding for civilian led government that this is something that even you in the media have been wrong in identifying we are not classified as

civilians because we were military close they're all screaming civilian civilian in my view civilian is the authorities is the ruling is the task which we agreed on after we agreed the government ministers and the legislative council would be civilian led they are still screaming civilian civilian they said the military will only work in the sovereign council the declaration for freedom and change said they agreed to 95 percent and there was a disagreement over 5 percent or 5 percent all those blessed souls were lost that 5 percent was how many civilians and how many military would be in the sovereign council and who would lead we believe the majority should be military and the leadership should be military they believed otherwise we insist that the military is the sole guarantor for peace and stability in the transitional phase of another person to die from the ebola outbreak in uganda has been buried near the border with the democratic republic of congo family members of the grandmother who died on tuesday gathered in the town of burial timor protective suits to lay the coffin it

is the 2nd deadliest ebola outbreak in history which spread this week from the deal to uganda other world health organization is meeting in geneva to discuss whether to declare the latest outbreak of the ball a virus a global health emergency mariana hond with a look now at why the world body has so far failed to stop it spread. the 1st cases in this current outbreak of ebola were reported last august that was in the democratic republic of congo since then the world health organization has confirmed more than 2000 victims and of those at least 1400 people have died that's a 67 percent fatality rate doctors have usually managed to keep it at around 50 percent and stopped it spreading but this is the 1st time a bowler has struck in a conflict zone the virus causes internal bleeding and while it's yet to be proven

it's thought fruit that so the carrier of the virus scientists are trying to work out how it jumps to humans but what is known as how to contain a bola by quickly and safely burying victims quarantine anyone who's been near those infected and vaccinating people. in the early days of the south break the w.h.o. was confident it could contain the virus and resisted calls to to clear a global health emergency the w.h.o. trained hundreds of health workers equipped to them with a containment strategy and a new albeit experimental vaccine called v 920 the vaccine needed 10 days to kick in and doses were limited but there was enough to go around if the virus was contained but it never has been in the d.f.c. and a climate of ethnic tension regional conflict misinformation spread that the a ball emergency had been manufactured that the virus didn't even exist in some

areas people believed the virus was being used by 18th knit group to wipe out another and others resented the mess of resources put into containing a bowler when their basic needs were being neglected nearly $200.00 a bowler clinics have been attacked this year alone at least 85 health workers were injured or killed with every act of violence the a bowler program has. been interrupted and the virus has sprayed. the arrival of the bowl and uganda realized the worst fears of those dedicated to wiping it out but what is different in uganda is that the government's been preparing itself some months vaccinating more than 4 and a half 1000 health workers sitting up a bowl a treatment same tis and as the 1st ugandan victims died banning mess gatherings and sending in a record response team that listens from d.s.a. struggle may enable uganda to stop

a bola taking hold but the challenge remains finding a way to stop that sprayed anywhere else. the man accused of attacks on 2 mosques in new zealand has pleaded not guilty to murder prosecutors say brenton town shot dead 51 people and tried to kill 40 others andrew thomas reports from christchurch . a a $51.00 people were killed and 2 mosques on march the 15th on friday the man accused of the shootings pleaded not guilty to murder brenton tarrant's lawyer said his client also pleaded not guilty to 40 charges of attempted murder and one of engaging in a terrorist act tyrant seen here when he was 1st in court the day after the attacks appeared by video link from where he's being held in oakland he stayed silent but often grinned or smoked at one point he winked at his camera more than a 100 family members of victims and people who were shot but survived were in court

to see him for them it was difficult everyone it's the opposite when you see the smiling. and the george. his lawyer is not a guilty that make me that after more of it and you shot 9 times in the l normal yeah and there you were saying the man accused of doing that so yeah i'm strong. news on a day so. stay strong and we are we are stronger than him and then he is down to the weakest link he is going to be a loser. and we will win in march yama not be invited al-jazeera to his father's funeral on friday he came to see the man accused of killing him can't get angry you just have to take day did it come you know i work in you don't believe in a father loved one of the family what can you do but others are angry we lost

our beloved part of our. clearly very very upsetting it's very upsetting. and. i really don't have at this point i would see this is the only way that won't happen new zealand abolished the death penalty in 989 and hasn't executed anyone for more than 50 years but tarrant does face life in prison if convicted trials in new zealand normally start within a year of an arrest but the judge said that would not be possible with this one given the complexity of this case and the amount of evidence it won't be until next may that brunson tyrant astroids and that trial could last as long as 3 months under thomas al jazeera christchurch police in thailand have charged the captain of

a boat carrying a migrant from me and with people trafficking 65 people were found on an island in southern thailand on tuesday after the boat had engine failure it was bound for malaysia where many rahane garr have tried to escape recently. prayers for peace have been set in the mountains of northern me and it's 8 years since a cease fire collapsed between the catchin independence army and amy and ma government forces fighting since then has forced many from their homes between be ripples. in a camp for internally displaced people in catchin state they pray for an end to the fighting has blighted the lives of successive generations. we're struggling because of the war we're still on the run and love as id pays we can provide our children with a good education bet's just a dream. catchin is the most notably state in myanmar bordering china

it's home to around one and a half 1000000 people including 100000 living in 140 camps by the myanmar government imposes restrictions on food health care shelter and sanitation they're playing in kenya mall but limited i've been here for 8 years and so many things have changed when i 1st arrived things are very tough they still are but we've learned to adapt. fighting fled after a ceasefire between the catch an independent me and the mia mom in a tree collapsed 8 years ago the conflict 1st began in 1962 when the military took control of the area which is rich in resources such as gold amber timber and on. peace talks have stalled over who control them in the future. the priority for us is to build on our already strong policies it's very important that we should on our property and not have them in my government take over our natural resources.

than the ones in the news here they are convoys of trucks which head out from a little guarded border point between guatemala mit's co locals say they carry hundreds of people and go most nights they controlled by people smugglers each of the charges has paid them thousands of dollars to get to the u.s. border. this one's been cool but it's the exception. is the same from another state police open a truck see the migrants packed inside and wave it on. and this is where it all begins impoverished communities in honduras el salvador and here what the where people like daniel desperate to get to the u.s. . you can come good on the dream that you have a house or a plot of land an education for your children a struggle to my family but i can't give them that future here. 3 months ago he

agreed to pay smugglers $3500.00 for himself and his son to take the journey they made their way to the guatemalan border town of. this uncommon shann on the mexican side of the curve points where people smugglers squeeze 50 to 70. pull into trucks but. you can't sit down because you're squashed together my son started crying because people fell on top of him they covered it up on his top all and. they set off from grass he said the oars towards mexico crossing this wide open border on the way in 3 days of going to and fro we were never asked for documents different smuggling groups take over the route as it goes into the territory moving the migrants from safe house to safe house it's lucrative but it's getting harder after pressure from president trump it's because governments tighten security along the border with what the mother was a little. more toward me and now there's not

a lot of movement they still go but it's gone down 50 percent it's more discreet. but it is still happening we staked out the caravan in a roadside field a local contact told us he'd seen the lorries loading up shortly after we saw them heading through followed by several issues these are the caravans of the coast that go in front of christe it's clear that we've been stuck just wait for a chance to see it we go and we just saw the long line of trucks could cost migrants told us the smugglers usually let them out just before the u.s. border they can then cross and ask for asylum daniel never made it that far the convoy he was traveling in showed up early on his uncle was killed but with nothing at home and for now a way north he's already saving to go again john home and al jazeera grass' ideals

. all right let's get a round up of the top stories on c.n.n. the u.s. has released a video it claims shows iranian revolutionary guards removing an i. exploded miner from the hull of one of the tankers for the japanese owner of one ship said he did not believe a mine or torpedo were involved the holes and more were going to go the crew is saying that it was hit by flying object they're saying that something came flying to put a bomb on the side of the boat is something we're not considering you would iran's president said the u.s. is pushing an aggressive stance that cannot be tolerated as the government of the united states over the last 2 years is using economic and military capacity and is creating an aggressive approach the united states has stepped over all the norms and regulations of the international community and has created new threats for the region and the world the military spokesman is warning civilians to stay away from

the un's intergovernmental panel on climate change was born. just use to avoid fun . with governments having failed so far to take effective action to combat global warming many an hour looking to science and technology to come up with ways of bringing temperatures under control but what kinds of solutions and being devices and how effective could they be reporter eric campbell has been finding out.

we start our journey in a city moving on from carbon. few places are as eager as copenhagen to get power from wind and even in this weather from sun. know where this plane came into ditch cars that box. klaus bonded is director of the danish cyclists federation and a former mayor of the city. he's leading its push to be the 1st carbon neutral

capital by 2020. i do believe that there is a strong political consensus in denmark that we need to act it's pretty cold right now but we have an extremely hot shot it didn't rain for 2 and a half months here. but nothing says why is there something going on. and i think we have to realize that something is going to. copenhagen has been breaking all records in traditional ways to clean air. that according to the speaker's 1631 box of cross this bridge this morning alone in the past year it's been 3519062 it's extraordinary but the problem is no matter how much we ride no matter how much we recycle the matter how fast communities transition to renewables it's probably not going to be faster now because governments aren't meeting the commitments they made at the paris climate

change conference to cut emissions the politics are failing which is why there is now such an urgent push to try a new technology to experiment with things that sound like science fiction but cope with the only way to ensure a secure future is a fact. the warning was sounded in october by the i.p.c.c. the un's intergovernmental panel on climate change which are working on leading scientists say carbon needed to be almost hot from 2010 levels to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. otherwise runaway temperatures would destroy the right ballio reef droughts and hurricanes would become the norm melting ice sheets would flood major cities. but

our sky mythologised jason box a former lead author to be i.p.c.c. says even that won't be enough. it's frightening and i'm sorry to say this but that one and a half to greece global warming we still have like 2 and a half to greece of summer arctic warming and that pushes greenland beyond its threshold of viability so we still lose greenland but at a slower rate. based in copenhagen he measures our street treat for the geological survey of denmark and greenland. when we lose the reflective cover of the arctic sea ice when we lose the greenland ice sheet and the climate system globally unravels and and it's going to create the kind of problems that will make it pretty hard to govern society. the migrations the droughts so what's at risk here is is

practically civilization. of course professor bob shares the frustration of all scientists contributing to the i.p.c.c. see the. evidence gathered through years of painstaking field work is often just. north by politicians. politicians and governments that dismiss i.p.c.c. reports that's not conservative it's not progressive certainly it is insanity . if is the world will need massive technological fixes called geo engineering literally read engineering the earth if you just hold back what's coming. for example we can slow down melting of the antarctic ice sheet by piling up sand on the sea floor simply to block a warm currents that are already destabilizing the whole west antarctic ice sheet.

other id's include covering oceans with ion filings to encourage carbon e.g. plankton. sending ships around the world to pump seawater mist into the sky to diffuse the sun's writings we have some ideas and we need to try several technologies and evaluate them and figure out which are the least risky etc 2 to get the carbon curve which is like this now to get it negative. and that all needs to happen in the next. 1020 years to start down that path it's extremely ambitious . the idea of geo engineering has excited by scientists and industry. on the other side of copenhagen i've come to meet a prominent political scientist dr be a he did it by using lots and lots of coal he's

a favorite commentator in conservative media for giving against major cuts to fossil fuels and i would say look if you say to people there is another solution yes it is going to take the attention somewhat away from the original solution but we should also be honest and say we've tried the 1st solution namely ask people. could you please use the car less could you please use less energy could you please turn off your lights and it's not work for 30 years and actually there is about half a planet who's waiting to get more energy available and why do we talk to says he except that fossil fuel emissions are warming the planet he just thinks geo engineering will cool look much faster than switching to review. because it's so cheap it's very likely to happen sooner or later some indian billionaire or some saudi billionaire is going to do it all by themselves just turn it down a little bit to pre-industrial temperatures or wherever we decide to to have it and

that would be essentially avoiding a large part not all but a large part of the global warming problem. so what are the most likely fixes and would they really work most of these globally ambitious projects are still on the drawing board but one surprising new technology is up and running in a place generally seen this need to retrieve. it strongly now whom a precision innovation. from swiss watches that never lose time just was i when i was in the country permanently a piece of small company. believes it's found what could be a big part of the solution to problems. christophe the boulton would spark a ph d. students when they decided to form a world changing company. tonight they're celebrating clime works 9th anniversary

so we're still not making money so of course money is not motivation the money ration as solving a big challenge and there is probably as little as challenging as climate change. this illusion is building giant. hands that draw in air and bind carbon molecules water filters. the carbon free air is released back into the atmosphere the c o 2 is super heated and collect this gas i like to call it low tech not high tech and it's actually very simple the challenging part is making it work and making it cheap. in just 2 years they've opened the plants in switzerland icelandic italy. they believe they could remove 10 percent of the carbon the i.p.c.c. wants cuts. their 1st target is one percent by 2025.

it's like 300000000 tonnes of c o 2 and that we're require a quarter 1000000 machines. but in this developmental stage removing just one tonne of carbon costs at an economical $600.00 us dollars we are confident that in the next 2 to 3 years we will have our cost and the ranch off 2 to $300.00 per tonne and in the mid to long term and that's for us 2025 to 2030 and we see cost as $100.00 as feasible. so the big question is what do you do with all this captured c o 2 well fortunately in this case there's a greenhouse just 300 meters away so half of the carbon sucked in the ferns it's piped underground of the going house and turns into vegies.

plants absorb carbon so the greenhouse but it's the gas is fertilizer. since it started spraying crop production has increased by 10 percent. the quicker the process can turn a profit the more likely it is to spread round the world. even in frosty switzerland there's a real sense of. urgency about limiting global warming. i came here for the mountains to climb to ski and in the alps you could see very early signs of climate change like. of course glaciers are disappearing like we won't stop that if with and without climate change but the speed of disappearance is shocking. patrick hofstetter from the world wildlife fund took us out to see the disappearing

place in. the alps a bore me more than twice as fast as the rest of europe over some of it was unprecedented drought. yeah that's really special for us to the farmers don't notice it touche and yet. the grass growing soon there is a shortage in feed so they actually started to slaughter their cows much earlier. after this really dry summer i can feel a renewed sense of urgency especially also because of the farmers now it's really accept that they are directly affected by it.
