4:05 pm
records that was flowing at dangerously high levels the deluge in the now the river the i left on the river it managed to all hydro power stations which were on the way would completely. go well they were destroyed so many homes have been destroyed and bridges have also been bridges to be destroyed too which is why rescue helicopters delivering. food rations to people in about fukushima villages have been by what's happened the people who had their homes destroyed knows where where are they being moved to now and the people who are asked to relocate from those no lying villages where where are they and what sort of help are they getting. while they have been moved to you know with areas that have been set up for this reason and fortunately if there is. you know some of that there is some kind of silver lining to what's happened this time the
4:06 pm

4:07 pm
monitoring the situation in myanmar from thailand his live from bangkok scott so it's been exactly one week today since this school the protests it seems are growing and they're more defiant this been largely peaceful until now but now we're hearing these warnings from the military what are we to make of this. yes definitely you know we're on the 3rd day of mass protests over the weekend we saw tens of thousands of protesters going to the streets right across me and mar in the major cities and also even further afield now what's been interesting essay on monday we did see kind of this turn where we as you mentioned the water cannon were used on protesters for the 1st time so we're seeing a bit of a corner being turned and they're more defiant words coming out and and it's as though this is the beginning of the pushback if you will after these 2 and a half days of mass protests on the streets of myanmar we're starting to see some pushback some ratchet up rhetoric coming from the officials in myanmar one thing
4:08 pm
that's also very interesting where that water cannon was fired the police have put up signs kind of like a different tier if you will different locations saying what kind of force still be using and they put up one sign saying that they'll actually use live ammunition if the protesters reach a certain point obviously that's one closer to where they have their lines of police so that something with obvious an indication of how the tensions have really ratcheted up over the day now what's very interesting is how the day unfolded you know it was kind of you know really jubilant on the streets of yangon but then we started to see things change a little bit but this is how the day unfolded. the 1st pushback from myanmar security forces on the growing number of protesters burst from water cannon and in attempt to disperse some of the thousands who gathered in the capital maybe . this is the 3rd day of mass rallying against a military coup one week ago a civil disobedience movement has been called encouraging people to skip work and
4:09 pm
school to head out and protest they're demanding that deposed 2000000000 leader own son suchi and the more than $160.00 elected leaders supporters and activists most who were detained during the early hours of the coup be released immediately. like at the weekend when tens of thousands gathered in cities across the country waving the colors of. the party and why. the 3 finger salute now a symbol of the movement the protests and calls for civil disobedience have become more organized in the days since last week's overthrow with momentum building labor unions civil servants teachers buddhist monks and students have all taken to the streets good i don't know and you know we are an engine is unique and we are not going to allow this military dictatorship to pass on to our next generation we will continue our protest dictatorship fails we have already looked down on by other asian people and others around the world for an education system in the military rule. made
4:10 pm
a strong turnout was one of those recently detained by officials he was serving as an advisor to aung sang suu kyi we have called for the immediate release of australian citizen professor sean to mail from the detention in. our embassy has been providing a face eternal with extensive support during this ordeal. highly regarded advancer a holler guarded member of the academic community. there are signs the military is growing frustrated with the demonstrations a message on state t.v. warned of action being taken against those who break the law. everyone has the right to speak freely living in the country put those kinds of freedom shouldn't disturb others it should allow others to have different opinions but these days people are disturbing and even threatening others by breaking laws while climbing it's democracy if we don't follow the rules and regulations our democracy can get damaged legal action should be taken against those who commit acts that harm the
4:11 pm
state stability public safety and the rule of law. some supporters are determined to show their dedication to the cause one group tattooing the lines of an old revolutionary song on their arms that reads we won't forget until the end of the world and scotty's then speaking to people on the ground in myanmar how did 10 means to keep these protests going exceptionally determined no this is something that's very interesting when you look you know it's only been a week and just kind of what is unfolded within those 7 days you had kind of different groups come out and stage strikes civil disobedience movements and it has just swelled almost every day definitely every day and it's interesting to see how different people are from different walks of life students labor unions monks buddhist monks coming out so to see them all come together all these different people from different walks of life within me and mar this is really kind of
4:12 pm
brought them together and then moving forward with a common cause so they are very determined as they move forward no something that's interesting is that we're hearing now possibly for the 1st time later tonight we hear from the head of the military who staged this coup there's been an announcement in myanmar that he might be addressing the country later on this evening will be a 1st time we've heard from him we've heard from state t.v. a couple of times earlier today but this could possibly be the 1st time we hear from him but again to answer your question when you look at those protesters on the ground they're very very resolute they're very determined to move forward with this cause thank you thank you very much for that scott had an eye for a stare in bangkok. still ahead on the newshour a new political crisis in somalia as the president's term ends with no agreement on how to replace him beyond the trees in these libyan mountains might not have food sounds and 30 years old but the tradition of pricing their oil certainly hot and serena williams is back to her stylish as she launches her campaign for
4:13 pm
a 24th grand slam title in this coming up in space a ticket to the i. am the in. the coronavirus pandemic now in south african health authorities are working with international scientists to draw up a new vaccination strategy that's after they suspended the original plan to use the office for astra zeneca job when trials showed it gives little protection against the highly contagious south african variant of covert 191 option being considered as an alternative is rolling out a covert 1000 vaccine that sailed in the testing phase of that study and john is brogues vits university shows 2 doses of the oxford vaccine provides minimal protection against miles to moderate infections of the south african variant the study didn't assess efficacy against severe infections but the authors said the findings show efforts should shift from herd immunity to protecting people at risk
4:14 pm
of getting cold it's the scientists who led the development of the astra zeneca vaccine said the study confirms a virus the virus will find ways to spread in vaccinated populations researchers noted work is underway on a 2nd generation of the vaccine that will targets new. family is in johannesburg she says the south african government had already come under criticism for its slow vaccine rollout. according to the studies that have been done and we are expecting that full study to be published sometime today 2000 participants were studied with regard to the response to astra zeneca and the government has said that it shows that there is only a 22 percent efficacies rate when trying to prevent mild or moderate covert 19 now this is very damaging for the government given the criticism it's already faced and even if the government can be forgiven for only understanding now that the
4:15 pm
vaccine is not is as effective as they had hoped the government has also come out to say that the vaccines that receive the $1000000.00 doses last week it's only on a rival that it was a stablished that these vaccines expire in april vaccines take about 6 months they have a 6 month shelf life and already south africa has a difficulty in that it didn't have this information on hand so south africans are certainly very disappointed and there really is an issue of confidence with regard to how the government is managing this vaccine rollout for the time being we know that they've said that they use the information they had on hand and they've said that this was the most accessible vaccine at the time and what they'll do now is one of the experts on the panel that's trying to deal with the vaccine rollout has said it would it would be irresponsible to completely discard the astra zeneca vaccine instead they will vaccinate some people at some point but at the same time continue studies to understand better how to use astra zeneca early i spoke to dr
4:16 pm
helen rees who's a member of south africa's ministerial advisory committee for conveyed in the cove in 1000 vaccine she explains how health authorities will use a study in their planning. so this was a very important study it was a small number of people and it was a young cohort which meant that just in terms of the natural history not many of them were anyway going to get severe disease that means the only thing that it could show was that there's only there's very limited impact on prevention of mild or moderate disease but there weren't severe cases so the question is could this vaccine still have an impact on severe cases and the other question being asked is can the vaccine be tweaked to be responsive to the variance of the answer is yes to that and the 3rd question being asked is can this vaccine be combined with another vaccine so that you have $22.00 different vaccines that do what we call prime and
4:17 pm
boost so you stimulate the immune system at 2 different points in time and you do it with slightly different vaccines so there are many questions still to be asked here well at the moment because of the lack of efficacy and it was a south african cohort small as it was it would have been very hard to justify putting that out to your highest just health care workers in the absence of additional data so we have a meeting today to have of both local and international scientists to ask the question what is the and what is the additional data that we would need to see fortunately we're looking to urgent if you're looking to get hold of other vaccines to other vaccines have been showed to have efficacy against the variant one is the johnson and johnson vaccine and the other is the novak's and jane just a sizable study in south africa across age groups and was able to show and
4:18 pm
effectiveness against the barrier but also against severe disease so there are options that have been rapidly sought so the actual rollout is not delayed but it will be with the the asters anika vaccine live not just there is need baka in london so need how is astra zeneca reacting to the south african government decision to suspend its vaccine. well let's not forget the server such as oakford university have also been conducting their own research into how effective a oxford extra zeneca vaccine is against this new variant and according to preliminary data which will be firmed up a little bit later on in the week possibly in a 2 or 3 days time they concur with what the south african scientists have discovered according to the lead oxford university scientists they believe that the vaccine may be any 10 percent effective in treating mild or moderate forms of the south africa's strain but what's the overall king message is that there are still hopes that it could be effective against serious forms of the virus and also
4:19 pm
against the risk of death which is what the british prime minister boris 'd johnson has been saying he's been talking about they the effectiveness of the vaccine over the course of the morning and the message that for is not to write off this vaccine of course the government here keen to ally all fears about the successful vaccine rollout in the country more than 12000000 people have received at least one dose of the virus but it would be wrong to say that there aren't really big concerns about the spread of the south african strain according to government figures that have been 147 recorded cases of the south african strain of because of a lag in how the strain is recorded and logs that figure could be significantly higher much more widespread than initially thought so the the focus now according to the prime minister is to try and how about this number down to
4:20 pm
locate where the spread may be happening and get on top of things very very quickly because despite all the talk in the background about possibly lifting restrictions in a matter of months they will be no movement to tour we assume to kind of ease back into normality if we know the south africa strain that cannot be tackled as yet at the moment. by this current astra zeneca vaccine will be no hope of returning to normal at anytime soon a glimmer of hope though from the oxford sciences is that they believe that they can build on existing vaccines pretty quickly and can as we heard from the earlier expert earlier on in the program there can tweak this existing vaccines to be able to do well with emerging new strains without the need for big trial was immediately after the development of the vaccine so it's all down to the scientists or thirty's working together in terms of how minimally they can respond to new strains and how
4:21 pm
quickly they can track the spread of these new strains thank you need me back in london so money is opposition leaders say they no longer recognise the president monitor for my job as term has expired but with no agreement on elections to replace him live to monitor i don't know who is monitoring the story for us from nairobi kenya so the president's term has expired what happens now. well that is what the political elite in somalia currently trying to figure out with the help of the international community of course the secretary general's special representative to somalia jim swung and american the u.s. embassy in mogadishu are both trying to broker some sort of a deal between the president and regional presidents who. last weekend failed to agree on
4:22 pm
a timetable for elections because the president and the regional president in jubilant failed to agree on whether the federal government under president mohammed apply for mother should manage the elections of about 17 members of parliament in the town of behavior in ghetto which is the home province of the president the president is that he should be the one minute you get right now days a good luck political gridlock where many people. fearing could lead to some sort of a political power vacuum because the president's monday to finish already a presidential candidates on the opposition side have been approaching the speaker of parliament asking him to become president in an interim government which is going to rule for a period of 3 years of course he has declined that and in the past few hours the american embassy has issued a statement in which is say the political good look of the past year has resulted
4:23 pm
in what it calls. luck of progress in the fight against al shabaab and also developing so money economically and security wise and i say that a quick resume lucian to this crisis would be very crucial to somalia's future so briefly then what are the chances mohamed that this transitional crisis can be resolved amicably. what it all depends on this meeting now that jim swan the presentable the secretary general of the united nations and the u.s. embassy in mogadishu are walking all to try and bring the president the regional presidents together if they agree on a timetable then the paul says of electing members of parliament and senators will begin an honest and they in tongue will elect a president or you know give president for module a new monday and that is what somalis want but if that is going to happen right now
4:24 pm
it's all up in there thank you very much for that moment i don't have a thought in there live from nairobi kenya to nigeria now where the sky crumble for scarce land is pushing millions of people into poverty according to activists in 2018 nigeria overtook india as a country with the largest number of people living in extreme poverty experts say it's largely because of corruption land confiscations and resources on distributed . force from their main kebby in the north of nigeria. in 7 years was really was 40 please 16 court cases of land being taken and justly but lost most of them. the lawyer and activist says the poor are up against the powerful who have the resources to manipulate the judiciary handle a case where local traditional lida used area court judges
4:25 pm
succeeded in the land from peace sent hundreds who had not been apart from that form. and ended in abject poverty and many equally among the politicians he says many land orders and witnesses are being intimidated into silence. across nigeria there is a huge demand for land for housing projects and in distributed. in many cases developers used force to encroach upon farmland and evict poor farmers from the. what and i use of chose to sell 2 of his 3 forms rather than lose them the women of . the rich people invade our villages and use their enormous amounts of money to convince or even coerce poor villages to sell them land as a result many of now lost their source of livelihood and become destitute.
4:26 pm
nigeria's population grows by 3 percent each year the same rate as i've been a zation but as rich and powerful nigerians buy up more land experts here that the government and the poor may soon struggle to find enough for agriculture and development experts say even protected forest land is being targeted they say the elite are enabled by we close and corruption the land used to create. allows people to. parcels of land which then are fence off so that poor people are increasingly being pushed to the margins ones who fence of the land they push off who are these poor people poor farmers poor hardest who are increasingly being pushed would imagine of safety as. constant. developers economics that the odds favor the rich but say most often it's the poor who approach biased sauce. very serious or.
4:27 pm
money or a right to go so that is a challenge so you really is a challenge for all of us says you know is this. personally. all of us the group related. to develop. life. i mean. activists warn that unless the government puts an end to unrestrained and sometimes illegal acquisitions nigeria could soon face conflict bigger than those the country is country dealing with ahmed idris al jazeera bringing k.p. . 10 of our check on the wild weather has rob the big weather pattern is stuck at the moment in the u.s. which means the world is being steered in the same direction so was it snowed in brooklyn in new york on sunday will be

a day or formerly again on tuesdays little systems are state run from the base of what is really harsh weather further west and the upper midwest without a mass 20 to minus 30 overnight is cold and not in central parts of counter that's creeping slowly south but not by very much so that's the direction of travel and you get within the sort of cold this sort of pretty picture nobody sees inside where you served cup of hot water up into the air instantly freezes to the to snow and falls out the temperatures by day are rather not as cold as that with us or minus 14 for example in minnesota and you're down to near 0 a long way south there's the snow for tuesday on his way through new york there's not much on the pacific seaboard you'll notice not much in the rockies are there except for this static cold particularly in the plains states for take you to wednesday again nothing much changes except the steering a stubborn recreate of it on his way back up to new york thursday that drops that

4:30 pm
the listing posts on. this thing is just sick and it's time for a different approach one that is going to challenge the way you think on asking me questions now as a new host of the next season of the show that's got no space for sound bites only cavities so let's leave simplicity to the headlines join me as i take on the law dismantle the misconceptions and debate the contradictions. are marc lamont hill and it's time to get out from right here and now does it. you're watching the news hour on al-jazeera reminder of our main stories the rescue

4:32 pm
global temperatures are speeding up the rate of ice loss and that's causing the development of glacial pawns that can hold millions of cubic metres of water they want governments and agencies to pay more attention to the risks satellite images of the hydroelectric project show the change in ice cover 'd on the surrounding glaciers over the past 4 years from early february 27000 to february 28th in the surface area of ice gradually increased in the region that continues through 21000 before rapidly expanding in the winter of 2022 what can be seen here but within the past year 'd all of that new cover has melted away let's now bring in simon cook who is a senior lecturer in environmental change at the university of dunn joins us via skype from done in scotland in the u.k. thank you so very much for being with us simon so there was an avalanche in this same valley in 2016 i believe in right now there are a lot of questions being asked as to what exactly led to this disaster this recent
4:33 pm
disaster what caused the floods whether it was indeed a portion of the glacier that broke off or you know whether it was floods the rains in the region what is your reading of the situation right. i think the current thinking is that this was a landslide that but let go just above one of the above the glass here in that valley landslide then landed on the glass ear and it's still unclear as to why but that has generated a flood it may be that the energy involved in that landslide landing on top of the glass you could have melted enough glass your ice to generate a flood but it also seems that a lot of the the ice from the 2016 ice avalanche was still stagnant and melting away in the bottom of that valley and that may well have also contributed to the amount of water in the flood but what you've got to remember is that these are these are events that don't just involve water to sediment and deborah as well as
4:34 pm
that sediment and debris which can be so catastrophic so what is it then that's led to all of this what to what extent is this related to climate change. that's a great question sure answers i don't know i think your piece beforehand clearly illustrated that you know this is a very dynamic environment that is responding to climate change that last year in this valley is receding but you don't necessarily need climate change to generate a landslide i think. what we what we do see is a lot of change in these high steep mountain environments around the world as a consequence of climate change including glass you thinning and recession and including permafrost thaw and all these on the surrounding valley slopes you may have they may be partly cemented together by by permafrost in ice that clearly if you if you start to thaw out a way that makes some of these landscapes more unstable in this case i don't know
4:35 pm
that we have any specific information about why this landslide leggo at this time it could be related to climate change these are inherently unstable steep environments anyway what could happen next do you think and do you think this is a one off event or are they more risks of disasters like this happening in the future we know that this is not a one off event because there's already been an ice avalanche in this same valley in 2016 so that's 2 major mass movement either landslide or ice avalanche events in the last 5 years so i think that the. clearly this is an unstable valley which is not uncommon in these sorts of environments are worry i think would be that this this could there could be other such events ice avalanches landslides snow avalanches and so on in the future and that that may well be exacerbated by by
4:36 pm
climate change simon cook thank you so much for talking to us about this is a senior lecturer in environmental change at the university of dandy thank you for your time. we want to show you some live pictures from myanmar state television the military leader is addressing the nation for the 1st time since the military coup exactly a week ago this is being described as an address to of the current situation in myanmar the protests in myanmar against the military takeover have been growing over the last few days with more street protests. been warnings from the army for these demonstrations to stop the military leader who took over exactly a week ago today is addressing the nation for the 1st time since the military ousted the civilian leadership of myanmar and arrested the civilian leader. will bring you the latest lines of what he's saying to his country today and the message

4:51 pm
masks into their performance the books dominants continued in the 2nd half and they were singing out of sight when leonard phonetic wrote cliff a touchdown before sealing the title for tampa and super bowl number 7 for brady at age 6 with the patriots which means that he alone now has more than any single friend choices for does this right is this the crowning achievement not. making any comparisons i know being down here and experiencing it with this group of guys is every year is amazing and this team is world champions forever you can't take that away from myself before. there were concerns pre-game that fans gathering to watch would lead to a spiking cup in 1000 cases but that didn't stop these tampa funds from celebrating their 1st title since 2002 i was proud earlier but saw their baby bump give us some tears on live t.v. break it down far cry until. i got to right now. bill the early of an hour had
4:52 pm
similarly i don't know that the crackdown brady wins it again next year that to make you cry out there right now yes as the i did actually take it back syllable of a ball ball a 43 years old in 188 days brady's already the oldest player to ever play in a super bowl and it appears he's not done yet we're coming back with something that i know that david stokes al-jazeera. well as thing in bringing an n.f.l. broadcast to michael collison from london michael brady was already considered the greatest and this just confirms it doesn't it absolutely after. that she said yesterday acted mauls would have had 2 super bowl wins in his 1st 3 seasons which is exactly where rudy had been at that stage of his career and then brady had a fairly long period he sat in a whole lot of super bowl since turning 36 which is really unheard of you need an n.f.l.
4:53 pm
history but i think he's well established now as the greatest quarterback won't turn what do you think makes him so special and able to perform like this even at the age of $43.00. well i mean there you know he is has become a sort of fitness fanatic and that's because he built himself well from a kind of any one who was passed by the n.f.l. grokster 198 next into a very strong well conditioned player with a much stronger army had when he came out of college but it's also because in this came i think produce more long time partnership with patriots coach bill belichick an addict of watching film and understanding what he was seeing so that there is nobody better at reading down what you seeing from of events than some greedy especially be bored of what was happening so he doesn't have to wait to see where a new coach is going here anticipates revenue are going and we saw that in the way
