again this is al jazeera let's talk about the through much of the main news the south turkey has pushed forward its offensive in more than syria with all the might of strikes its forces say that they've taken control of ras i.e. that's a strategic syrian border town but kurdish led forces to ny that. polls are open internet is here in the presidential election runoff people are choosing between 2 political newcomers the business tycoon below kawi and more professor case site. at a nationwide curfew is in effect in ecuador the government there imposed a measure after 11 days of protests against rising fuel prices talks to end the crisis but you to begin later on sunday. a powerful typhoon in japan has left at least 19 people dead dozens more are missing typhoon gave us paralyzed tokyo on saturday before moving north more than half a 1000000 homes without power and

a cleanup operation is now underway al-jazeera sway in haiti is in tokyo. we were told to expect a short sharp storm and that is exactly what happened as you can see it is a clear blue sky day in the capital tokyo on sunday in stark contrast to what we saw on saturday with a lot of rain falling and some very strong winds we still have some wind about but no sign of that rain certainly coastal areas on saturday saw some damaging winds but the main feature of this storm seems to have been the huge amount of rain that fell causing flooding in many areas and indeed there are still alerts in place for some of those areas because the rivers a swollen they have burst their banks in some places and also the reservoirs are very full so the authorities have given the green light for some of those dams to release water meaning that there is an ongoing danger for some communities living downstream from those dams we saw several landslides occur on saturday evening as

well there is an ongoing search and rescue operation because several people are still missing there are still disruptions to the transport networks as well some train services have resumed on sunday morning but they won't be back to full service for some time and most flights international and domestic in and out of tokyo's 2 airports on sunday have been canceled or delayed until monday kurdistan wants to change the way the religious schools operate it plans to introduce laws to regulate studies in an effort to increase state control over faith schools. i mean it reports from bishkek. evening class that the bean sheik at the school one of the new. 130 religious schools and institutions in kyrgyzstan some of the students like cannot come from remote areas he joined the school 6 years ago i finished my normal school and they have. set

a good day. and now i study in when your city and here together we hear. we hear you didn't we hear. our 2nd 2nd. students have to be at least 16 years old before they can apply to come here. the constitution guarantees freedom of education and religion under the system whoever wants to learn about religion has the right after finishing secondary school level. religious education is supervised by institutions that are mostly funded by charities both local and international kyrgyzstan being a secular state did occasional system doesn't include any religious studies whatsoever for that to student must go to the privately run religious schools but now the government says it will introduce reform to bring them more in line with

the national education system. religious education was banned. the government says it recognizes that interest in religion has increased since the fall of the soviet union. but after a few 100 citizens joined the ranks of iraq and syria the government has national security concerns suddenly because they don't know where this charity or this financial come from and wore them in a year's of these financial support of the leaders of the cage should be this teaching program this will be the teaching plan what kind of subjects will be in the kitchen a brawl on who of the teachers does and do they have the fish an indication of religious fear critics say students who only go to religious schools are ill prepared to enter the workforce and less says is what he learned in

the religious school combined with his general studies in financial accounting that will make him successful in life the government is promising students like him didn't you will merely provide a framework for religious education one that will be in tune with the secular identity of the country but at that had me. in kyrgyzstan pakistan's prime minister imran khan is meeting iran's president hassan rouhani into iran it's seen as an attempt to ease tension between iran and saudi arabia can is set to travel to riyadh on tuesday let's go live now to ron al-jazeera as i said big is there for us as a pakistan's prime minister was asked to try to mediate between iran and saudi arabia why him and why now. well this is an attempt to open up some sort of talks in mediation between the iran

and riyadh tensions have been high since september the 14th after that attack on saudi aramco facilities in saudi arabia that the yemeni hutu rebels came to responsibility for but saudi arabia blamed iran iran have rejected those allegations but iran kind did acknowledge that there were tense at mediation when he was attending the united nations general assembly in new york but before he departed for new york he did make a stopover in riyadh to talk with and meet the crown prince mohammed bin son been son monitor follow up the pakistani foreign minister sharma move gray she met with his counterpart jihad zarif several times now imran khan has very much put himself forward as a statesman but he has had a close relationship with saudi arabia last year he attended an investment conference in saudi arabia to time where many world leaders were boycotting it over the murder of journalists. at the site the consulate in istanbul but at the time iran concept buxton was desperate for loans and he secured

a $6000000000.00 loan and also earlier this year saudi arabia pledged $20000000000.00 in investment projects in pakistan but iran can very much as put itself for just a statesman not only for pakistan but also for the muslim world and that's why he's statement in the speech was about at the united nations general assembly but in terms of iran and saudi arabia he's very much seen as a middle man he's not to arab and he's not persian so he could pave the way to open up some sort of negotiations and mediation between these 2 regional rivals saudi arabia has presented a draft concerning the war in the yemen what more can you tell us about that. now this draft agreement could pave the way for a unity government in yemen between the 2 front factions sag arabia bets one faction and the iraqis back another in this civil war has been going on for 4 years

now this draft agreement does set out a number of points that says it will talk about a formation of a unity government between the u.a.e. backed certain transitional council and the yemeni government it says it will engage the transitional council in certain components in negotiations for a comprehensive political solution it says that the prime minister's office and those key. a sovereign political power for portfolio such as defense foreign an interior for years and offices should be appointed by president months to hard the and the draft agreement requires signatories not to form forces outside of state institutions now that's been an issue in yemen with different factions being backed by different countries and ceasefire is breaking down the saudi arabia will supervise the structure of the security forces and appoint a neutral security force to oversee the transition and saudi arabia appoint a political team in aden to oversee this agreement now if this works this could

pave the way for all these factions for this government disunity government in yemen to negotiate with the iranian backed and that's why this meeting with him or iran khan here is so important al-jazeera said big reporting live from tehran i said many thanks. well the 1000 firefighters are battling a fast moving blaze a little on edge of los angeles and california the fire broke out on thursday night at a spread of a 7000 acres at least one person is confirmed to have died firefighters are dropping water from aircraft to try to contain the fire on saturday some people were allowed to return to homes the cause of the fire is under investigation a mysterious oil spill is contaminated at least $150.00 beaches along brazil's northeastern coastline dozens of teams are trying to clean it up but they say the thick crude is washing ashore too fast for them to keep up. on the reports now from

the coastal community of pay in more than in northeastern brazil. one of brazil's most beautiful beaches now covered with oil it washed up on the sand here on what was otherwise a pristine beach. and it has the locals like the is extremely worried. i feel very sad this is an environmental disaster even if people are cleaning it up the damage is done i've been working here for over 30 years and i've never seen anything like it but it's not just here or oil has washed up on beaches all up and down the coastline of the northeast of brazil recent days it's been seen in 9 coastal states in more than 150 locations. it's unclear where the oil is coming from but it's already killing seelye but it's so widespread showing up on a coastline more than 2000 kilometers long there aren't enough crews to reach it all. but they're trying the best they can they're finding so much oil that they're

sending teams of men out to collect it all and they're loading it on the back of these flatbed trucks such as this and then putting it in these huge white containers to be taken away just today on this beach they say they. collected at least 2 tons of oil. local residents are witnessing an environmental disaster up close as. i went through living today and when i got out of the water i had oil all over my hands and arms i'm worried because i don't know how my body will react to this. sort of walk i've seen the 5 big dead feasts it's to say because it has also reached the eaves and yet here the oil stains are real you out people here now looking out over an oil polluted ocean left wondering how much worse it can get gabe rosendo al-jazeera could repay along the northeast coast

of brazil a major tourist attraction in iceland is at risk of disappearing here's a climate change the island's grass is a melting fast but experts say that curbing carbon emissions may not be enough to save them. travel to one of the island's national parks which has the largest ice cap on the island. this is an island of elemental power shaped to reshape by natural forces where the landscape is constantly forged by supercharged geology. glasses sweep a the active volcanoes ash from previous eruptions carpets the ice through the millennia the glass years have advanced and retreated but never has a retreat to be distressed because no. classic guide ron connelly takes me towards a soul your couldn't last year and the speed of retreat is very apparent so the

sign and they were in the glass here was back in 2010 and this is an arch and the very front of the glass here this is where we would walk onto it stretched across this entire valley and now 9 years later there it is there's the front right back and it's continuing to melt at the exact same speed. this is one of the fastest disappearing glasses in iceland but its rate of loss is pretty much replicated wherever you go. we enter the national park you know a world heritage site covering 40 percent of iceland tourists come here in their hundreds every day to see the sights but the sights slowly disappearing what was the glass here 20 years ago is now a raging torrent money eisman. it is a very dramatic and very reasonable in the strafing of the impacts of climate change and it's happening not only to the world glasses but also for the polar icecaps and the thing is that even if we do think nif it can only curb emissions

more than a 3rd of the world's glasses will disappear by the end of the century. 3 years old or cigarettes in the is a geologist he's been charting place the last for decades and is well aware of the global implications the glaciers will melt the melt water runs down to those shim and the ocean surface rises i told my friends in america just no past week the. refugees would not only become a from mexico and central america it would become front proto and battle on the coast and the gulf coast of america of the united states. at home businesses that rely on the tourist dollars preparing for an uncertain future or living in sin runs a guest house on the farm where he's lived pretty much all his life he has seen what's difference. the last couple yes and just for maybe 30 s.

of color then we saw 3 close of tanks from this side but now we only see 2 all those and the clay sure are one of the most tourist attraction in iceland so of course it can have an effect on on you know all the main pillars of the economic parting and iceland. this story is being repeated around the world just as the melting ice the sea level rise the water supply for hundreds of millions of people is disappearing before our very eyes. it is a bleak picture but there is no other way of telling. scientists say the focus must now be on trying to save what we can at this crucial part of the planetary system and the clock al-jazeera that new york and i see. good to have you with us hello this is al-jazeera a very unfit again here in doha with the headlines turkey is pushing forward its offensive in northern syria with another day of strikes explosions have been seen

in tal abbey add to his forces and the allies are also claiming control of so look the u.n. now says that 130000 people have been forced to flee their homes and nationwide curfew is in effect in ecuador the government there imposed the measure after 11 days of protest against rising fuel prices talks to try to end the crisis at you later on sunday a powerful typhoon in japan has left at least 19 people dead dozens more are missing typhoon hugged this hit tokyo on saturday before moving north more than half a 1000000 homes are without power a cleanup operation is now on the way voters into dizzee of voting for the next president they're choosing between 2 political newcomers business tycoon appeal kawi and law professor christ saeed the 2 a seen as anti establishment millions of people in poland voting in a parliamentary election today the ruling lord justice party's widely expected to win a comfortable reelection would give the party a mandate to see through many of its conservative policies including its strong

anti immigration stance those are the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera after a talk to al-jazeera next. philippines president to turkey says he's cracking down on a communist insurgency ringback but some fear it's a deadly campaign to silence his critics as the death toll rises one i want to investigate to territories new al-jazeera. the renaissance astronomer nikolaus compare nicolas once said for it is the duty of an astronomer to compose the history of the celestial motions through careful and expert study apparent was a man who challenge the theories that the universe known to humanity up until the 16th century his observations led to the discovery that the planets revolve around the sun not the earth as people thought deed our celestial objects have been

observed and studied since the beginning of time the planets and stars have helped us understand the cosmos the way it functions and its impact on our lives then in the 17th century that. became the 1st astronomer to use a telescope for his observations the rest is cosmic history to date there's one question that most people want answered is there extraterrestrial life. i will see a human in one of many observatories in the atacama desert if the question of extraterrestrial intelligence is ever to be answered it is likely to come from here the is exceptionally blue skies and extremely dry atmosphere make this the ideal location for building the world's largest telescopes in fact to we will soon house 70 percent of global astronomical infrastructure even nasa comes right here to test its robots but what we will all these new facilities help us to discover and how

will they change the way that we look at our universe to have chills top astronomers might yet that is have reese and close in mass essential talk to al jazeera. dr murray at that is of research is known for discovering the brown dwarf star system named one a sub star located in constellation hydra approximately 61 light years away from earth on our planet she's a pioneer the 1st woman to have received a doctorate from princeton university the 1st woman to receive chile's national prize for exact sciences and to present the director for the center of excellence in astrophysics dr reddy and that is have respect you so much for talking to al-jazeera very soon chile will how's the world's 2 largest telescopes the t. and the giant magellan which would provide i understand direct views of planets in

other solar systems which would be an astronomical 1st how close will that take us to answering the question that everybody wants the answer to and that is are we alone or aren't we we know there are many planets because we see the effect of the planet on the star they're orbiting but to see a planet is very difficult because the star is so much. you know we cannot really see life in this planet but we could see their arguments years and see if the sox region for example oxygen was produced by life in on earth and so we hope to study the atmospheres of these. exoplanets to see if there may life when you see the universe through these big eyes

you are going to see something nobody years us seen before and although you have to justify all the funds to produce to build this instrument is there a $1000000000.00 illusion exactly you say yes to study exoplanets to look at the beginnings of the universe but often the case is that what you see the unknown is the most interesting thing something you cannot predict you know because it's like opening a window to the unknown well there is a theory in fact that life on earth began when meteorites or other bodies crashed on to our planet with very very small creatures or multi-celled beings and that from there animals plants of all then that would me and that they came from perhaps from mars we could be actually more that we could be martians. how how feasible is that. life is

there potentially and for need in the whole universe and when he arrives in a place where you know it's comfortable and it can be developed it does so it would not be something particular of earth or mars or you know it could be everywhere in the universe and in some places it can prosper in others cannot but although we have noid didn't i would find very extremely strange that we were would be the only ones in the universe. there are so many so many stars so many planets around them. i'm sure there could be. life in many of them what inspired you to choose a career looking at the stage at the stars at the sky actually it was

a lab us at the lab at 1st sight you know something like that because i never thought about becoming an astronomer although i always liked science and was very curious so i looked around and the discovered there was a prep summer practice into law which is there in the interim eric an observatory and i went there i didn't know anything i didn't never looked at this guy on the why i went with a colleague a student who he knew everything you know and he was really mad at me because i couldn't recognize sirius or or any of the big stars important stars in the sky and in the middle of the night you say ok go out and try to with a map of the sky and try to find some of the constellation so i went out. i don't look at the map i just put my eyes it was a dark night we known moon no moon and when you are in

a clear place in the mountain you see the horizon below you and i could see the milky way on top of my head and i were legs around doing me at that point i had if a bit of knowledge of about what the milky way was and where we were in the sun. or was in the sun and i realized i didn't even know anything about this you know and i realized i was part of the of this galaxy of this universe and i wanted to know more and i said ok if my talents are enough i will put all my energy which i think is more important than talent. to try to become an astronaut well you are certainly an inspiration to women here in this country and i think to astronomers of future astronomers the world over but how difficult was it. when you started out to be taken seriously in the field that is still dominated by men

yeah i think they're. the most difficult part maybe was in the u.s. when i tried to be included in the groups to to to do to do homework or to work on a project together at princeton and i realized that i was a free woman to be accepted as a graduate student. so i was a really strange beast you know women. lugging you know i. pero the poor guys were afraid of me i could see that they would get together and work on homework or projects and i would never include at the beginning i thought because i was. not as good as they were they were came from big universities. or because most english was really bad. but then

the 2nd year my english wes had improved and i was doing well in a couple of courses i. was probably doing better than the rest of at least as well as they they were doing and they gave us very hard here homework to do but i was so used to working by myself the union are down this homework by myself i want to really offer it so one of the guys there i realized they were trying to solve the problem and the blackboard i realized they were not starting work i mean this is a problem is that when you don't start well as you can never get to the right answers so i came in and say all this you buy what you need to so i start to say oh no you know you have to change the variables and will be and then i look back and they had left you know and i was there alone and people say oh you were sad no no

no i wasn't sad i was really happy because then i realized it was not my problem it's not because i didn't speak english or we goes i was bad in you know in science it was their problem they didn't know how to work with women it was ok to go for pizza for beer or for playing sports but not for working together and they don't have as many time women we believe we are if you look at guilty of what is happening or maybe when you we are discriminated we think maybe there is some good reason for that you know in. the background you're using maybe maybe they're right maybe i'm not good enough or maybe i done something wrong. so. god me a lesson you know about when to but think that way you know when i see women now.

marching on the street reclaim claiming their rights i am very happy because i think you know i could not have done it but it is time for for them to tell me a while ago that you were interested in writing a book about the sun that the sun has been kind of left aside because it's so close to the planet earth and and you talked about the carrington a vent which i found fascinating and you say that the sun has an agenda so we really cannot ignore it any more tell me a little bit more about that and what and exactly what are the dangers of all this there was this reduce astronomer who was observing the sun every day and he projected the sun in a screen. and many pictures of drawings of the sunspots this black spots in the surface of the sun where the magnetic field comes out and there were big ones and then he saw a flash of light where this dark spot just wrote about and made

a picture of the year and the day after that. the communications in in the whole world where perturbed that there were graphic stations were on fire and they didn't know what words were ignored there are reports that people in have are now where we're seeing the northern lights there are us the whole sky was bright with light due to the charged particles i had seen this current on astronomer in britain here had. travel the way to the earth and produce the success and what would happen if that happened today what really happened on the never of course on computers and if if an event injection like the carrington event happened today g.p.s. will die and all the g.p.s. the all the planes there now are.
