forces and proposition forces those also a huge explosion i have a little more detail on that we have spoken to some opposition leaders who are saying that it was a rocket propelled grenade that was launched and inside the airport building was destroyed we've also spoken to the government spokesman who has confirmed there was an incident but wouldn't give us more details so this all happened at the start of this protest march that was being led by several opposition presidential candidate including former prime minister has some they were trying to get to an area where they had plans to address this massive rally to call out the government and everything that has been going on in the country politically it's very difficult to see how that is going to happen now because as you mentioned there is police checkpoints military checkpoints all along the way huge military deployment those

a lot of people especially in the international community very worried saying that if the process doesn't start that things are going to get worse in somalia all right thanks so much catherine sort of a. 20 year old woman has become the 1st protester to die after being injured in mere mass antique to protest she was shot in the head last week when police were trying to disperse a crowd in the capital 90 dar. been on life support hospital for the 14th straight day thousands of people on the streets of yangon calling for the release of the civilian leader aung san suu kyi and others. have announced sanctions against myanmar as ruling generals and national pressure builds on the give up power. more rallies the votes are being held in the 2nd city mandalay the u.n. says an estimated 3 quarters of the country's civil servants are now on strike

school joins us now live from bangkok scott so how much anger is being fueled by the death of the protests to right now well there is definitely anger on the streets across myanmar and sammy that is definitely has been stoked by the announcement of the death of one of the 1st death of a protester we know that over the last a week or so there have been vigils for her held during some of the rallies and protests because when she went into hospital on february 9th after receiving the bullet though what the doctors are saying was a live bullet wound. the prospects of her pulling through weren't great so a lot of the protesters were holding vigils and so this was kind of something that was intisar pated but yes of course this is going to stoke their anger even more you know there's been a series of things that have really kind of elevated the emotion if you will and they're still coming out sami what's interesting today in the end gone an area of

the biggest city and rather commercial capital in myanmar that we have seen it has been around the sleeping goda area and that's why we've seen the most people come out the biggest gatherings well today on friday morning the police put kind of extended their court on area around to go to so protesters couldn't get all the way there and it's kind of a perfect venue for a protest because there's a lot of street space open street areas because it's a roundabout and a lot of streets coming in so they blocked that off but there the protesters still came out they just kind of went to different areas and around there as well and as you mentioned in mandalay they were gathering as well so yes the anger is still there and i can imagine that with the announcement of the 1st death of a protester that's only kind of raised it or score high level have all seen to us from bangkok. a major overhaul of hong kong's public broadcaster could soon be on the cards raising concerns about press freedom government review of radio television hong kong was initiated last year following its coverage of anti-government protests in 2019 the review found editorial management deficiencies

and a lack of transparency hong kong officials say they're making sure the broadcaster complied with its charter adrian brown reports from the broadcasters headquarters in hong kong. well r t h k's been around since 1928 but this is undoubtedly one of its darkest days what's happening here at r.t. h.k. in many ways reflects the more profound changes that are happening elsewhere in hong kong right now on friday the government released the findings of a damning report into the. essentially accusing it of bias in its coverage of the recent anti-government protests the minister responsible for overseeing broadcasting said that r t h k had failed to promote hong kong as unique one country 2 systems form of government on the same day it was announced of the boss of r.c.a. to carry was leaving his post after more than 5 years he's being replaced by

a civil servant with apparently no broadcasting experience and of course just a few days ago there was more controversy when r.t. h.k. dropped the b.b.c. world service that came after the broadcaster was blocked on the mainland one of the complaints the government had against r.t. h.k. is that one of its reporters recently interviewed a representative of the world health organization and the representative was asked whether taiwan should be considered for membership well of course taiwan is regarded by china as a breakaway province to be taken back by force if necessary it's one of china's red lines it all raises questions of course about the future of this broadcast don't really come. taters in hong kong though still prepared to speak out so the what the government wants is a broadcaster that's much more in the image of china's state controlled broadcaster namely one that doesn't stand up to the government or hold its officials to account

for plenty more still ahead on the news hour including no word yet on dozens of schoolboys adopted in nigeria as officials begin negotiations with kidnappers sheltering from a once in a generation winter storm hundreds of thousands of people in texas are without water and many still have no electricity to. manchester united get back to winning ways the latest football coming up later in the show. now start with the reemergence of ebola in west africa the world health organization has shipped more than $11000.00 doses of vaccines to guinea with the aim of stopping an uncontrolled spread of the disease on top of a krone virus pandemic is asking 6 countries to go on high alert for possible and

factions. and this is where new cases are emerging in guinea south hoch reports. great in guinea's for a street in the epicenter of the new ball outbreak at the regional health center un health workers dispatched from conakry to treat the patients in isolation among them is nurse lucy hobbs husband it is in this home where nurse lucy suffered from a fever vomiting and diarrhea a week later she died in hospital health workers were unaware that she had contracted a bulla during her funeral relatives and friends hugged her body contracting the virus but not her uncle dr louis who kept his distance he says he alerted authorities because he sensed her death was more than simply a personal tragedy. lucy who was treating her grandmother who had a fever and was reading from a nose and everywhere tried to get blood clotting medicine from the main town

eventually the grandmother died and nursed contracted littleness security forces stop and search vehicles in an attempt to trace close contacts and check for temperatures isolating those that appear ill guinea is on high alert people are scared haunted by the previous epidemic in 2015 over 11000 people died in 22000 were infected across guinea sirrah leone in liberia a bull that was contained thanks to the development of a new vaccine. but the 350000 doses distributed then expired last december the un says new vaccines are on their way we are shifting to the $11000.00 us of ebola vaccine and this is the use achievement at least for the 1st time in guinea we are having a vaccine not the beginning of an outbreak to control this our break within the

population of vaccine alone will not stop a virus harbored in nature by bats and primates the resurgence of a ball and brings more questions than answers with scientists still trying to understand why i feel guilty forest region is again the center of the outbreak nicholas hawk al-jazeera of w h o's regional director for africa says several measures have been taken to prevent the disease from spreading further than usual has released one and a quarter 1000000 u.s. dollars to support the response in guinea and to show our readiness in 6 neighboring countries within the epicenter of the outbreak in a border area the sub region is on high alert and authorities are reinforcing public health measures including some violence to quickly respond to possible cross border infections our collective quick action is crucial to our virt and

uncontrolled spread of ebola amid the covert $1000.00 pandemic which has already posed health workers and health facilities to the edge. davis is an infectious disease physician at washington university school of medicine and she says the w.h.o. needs to act swiftly to contain the outbreak in guinea before it spreads across the region. we're in the middle of a worldwide pandemic and this is hitting countries that are most vulnerable these are countries where infrastructure is challenging where resources are way more difficult than we're privileged to have here and who quite frankly cannot afford the impact of something as devastating as a bowler has been so i absolutely agree with the level of attention this is getting and absolutely supports the fact that we should be doing everything we can to contain this and to support the countries affected vaccine along will not do it

this has to be completely comprehensive public health response with preventative measures and containment strategies and the vaccine this has to be thought of as a tool box you don't just deal with one tool all those tools have to be used together for this to be contained this has to happen now i'm so glad to see the w.h.o. pay attention i mean i think we can even add to that how we responded to me bohlmann it initially was there i don't think there was as swift ever response in some cases because of undermining and not really respect him rights that how destructive in wyatt's i believe with colvin we've learned better in most places at least and this has to be applied here because you're dealing with 2 viruses at the same time 2 very very dangerous viruses time is of the essence and time could literally be the difference between life and death. nigerian officials say negotiations are under way with a nom gang that kidnapped

a group of students the exact number of those taken by the kidnappers on wednesday than known but hundreds are missing less than 24 hours after the abductions another village was reported to have been attacked an increase joins us now live from the who just so whether these negotiations stand now ahmed al they reaching some kind of deal. well these negotiations have been growing on for at least 2 days now a sammy government is optimistic parents are really concerned especially those who are yet to see their children and for parents who have lost especially one particular parent is concerned about the safety of one other child from that family who's actually hurt while trying to escape the the attack now the concern right now is the safety of this children we understand that from day one the military i was saying that they have pinpointed the location of the kidnappers and they've pin

them down people away for negotiations but there are concerns that 2 things may result from these so-called negotiations on the border between the government and the kidnappers one is the payment of ransom government you suspect run some of these off the table not part of the negotiation and the other the other possibility is that they are negotiating maybe a safe passage from for these kidnappers which about way it went then definitely there are concerns that this will try the embolden kidnappers in the region we've seen that happen before 2 months ago that what a 150 or even $360.00 students get now from a school after 6 days of traumatic experiences in the hands of their captors these students were released we later learned that some ransom was paid although officials deny it earlier that ransom was paid but we understood that ransom was paid for the release of these children and not

a lot of people believe that this has emboldened these kidnappers to continue similar things happened before with boko haram stymie and that was that it brings that. now in the netherlands the senate is said to debate emergency legislation to maintain the country's nighttime curfew the bill was approved by the large house of parliament on thursday a judge should earlier ordered the curfew be lifted ruling emergency powers been wrongly used to enforce it protests were held in january when the restrictions were imposed. step ason is live for us in the court in the hague so does it look like the senate is going to head in the same direction as the lower house and approve this bill. that's very possible but it's going to be quite a busy day here in the netherlands about this curfew because it's not only the political debate in the senate which is taking place at the same time as this court

hearing this appeal hearing is taking place as well not very far in the hague and this is the state now defending the curfew because a few days ago the court ruled on lawful it's not proportional it's too strict of a measure looking at the situation here well the lawyer here of the state has sad that it's a very urgent and urgent situation the state was actually overruled because it was using emergency powers that normally should only be be used by incidents like a dike is breaking and now the lawyer said well the situation is very similar he was talking about what are crashing against the dikes because the infections are still high there is this variant from italy and that it's still very concerning here in the netherlands and yet there is a still of very much a worry that there will be a 3rd wave so it is this cases now the people who actually file a case of small but very vocal group called a virus true this is

a group of virus deniers they won this case and they now are answering to destabilize this this request of appeal there's a lot of things going on it depends also on this 1st chamber decision what the effect of this appeal hearing will be but in fact we now have 2 curfew laws one law that was actually rushed through parliament yesterday and it's now being discussed by the 1st chamber and the 1st the previous law that's now being discussed here in court. or i will be watching those developments. now carter says it will waive quarantine for citizens and residents arriving in the country if they've been fully vaccinated against code 19 will still be subjected to testing on arrival the exemption will not apply to those vaccinated in other countries the governments worldwide are exploring how they'll use in for so-called

vaccine passports in hungary people who have been inoculated or recovered from cove in 19 may soon be given exemptions from night time curfews and other restrictions bahrain is building a vaccination certificate into its existing coronavirus phone app it will display information including which job a person has received then marks planning to put out an early version of vaccination passports by the end of next month and one in sweden may want to launch $15.00 the middle of this year dr jonathan gruber is from the massachusetts institute of technology he says having an international banks a nation passport system is unlikely. i think the important thing to realize is that vaccination is part of a suite of tools we have to fight coronavirus and what i would hate to see happen would be places saying ok now we have vaccination now we're not going to let you say for example be in

a classroom until you're vaccinated we shouldn't do that testing remains a critical part of how we should fight coronavirus and we should make vaccination part of the solution you know individuals should not have to be forced to show that scene passport on the other hand there should be condition that there are certain say sam so you run a workplace and individuals don't want to show that seymour passport that should be fine but then they should have to pay to be tested we're in this situation certainly where i think countries really have national priorities that putting above international priorities are so on i'm not sure we get a truly global system i'm hopeful that within a year or 2 backs initially come widespread enough that we'll have run the virus to ground and that we will be will be able to control in a much in a much stronger way but i guess i'm optimistic we'll have a truly international system in place tourists even if they are vaccinated i think will feel more comfortable going to countries where vaccination rates are high and

that's a problem because that's a big source of income for many countries in terms of internal growth i think we've learnt that you can do quite well with masking social distancing so i think we've learned to really about good governance now iraq's government has put baghdad back on the tough coronavirus restrictions night curfews are in place from monday to thursday and around the clock over weekends chop schools and restaurants will be closed for 2 weeks extra police checkpoints are being set up cases have been rising and more than 3800 new infections were halted on the 1st day. hundreds of thousands of people in the u.s. state of texas is still without power during a severe winter storm and the families don't have safe drinking water the white house says the extreme weather conditions in texas and nearby states are likely caused by climate change the crisis has also started a political storm as gabrielle i was on the reports from new york. says this is.

day 4 of the u.s. winter weather crisis and things only seem to be getting worse especially in texas where as of thursday afternoon a half 1000000 people are still without power and heat as electricity companies fail to deal with rare subzero temperatures. and oh my goodness. so they have a mobile a quarter of the residents in the state have been told to boil their own drinking water as supply systems are hit adding insult to injury a state famous for its oil industry is also suffering from a shortage of petrol the kind of stuck here i have 9 miles left to go with my car so you have to find something that's within 9 miles from your texas is america's 2nd most populous state with $29000000.00 residents living in an area larger than

the whole of france it's the only u.s. state that has its own electricity grid and is not part of the national system by its own choice which is allowed it to bypass federal regulations designed to protect against exactly these kinds of conditions under fire for being seemingly woefully unprepared for the state's energy bosses were forced to defend themselves it was a problem with back a map and being knocked out by an extraordinary embed and also the impact. same extraordinary event head on down. and and obviously on what. i'm sure people may argue about about what once were done also facing scrutiny texas republican senator ted cruz who won wednesday left his embattled state for an unannounced family vacation in the mexican beatriz sort of ken kuhn when outrage

ensued he promptly cut his trip short and flew home the storm is now here over the north east of the u.s. and it's forecast to linger in till the end of friday but it is not expected to cause nearly as much disruption as what it has in texas a state that remains in a deep freeze crisis gabriels andro al-jazeera new york. still ahead of al just syria back in the pact the u.s. returns to the paris climate agreement so what impact did dawn thomas with the fall actually have. on the race to go green on the roads in europe. and it's a double dose of joy so this time it's to somehow explain why things.

are. well it does from right on the cool side across northeastern parts of europe because much smaller of spinning in a from the west and that's lifting the temperatures up are quite nicely simple see temperatures getting up into double figures for london and for paris negative double figures there for moscow's to go on through the next couple of days that mild air which does encroach away into central parts of you upset to contain you but it's not exactly t. shirts and shorts weather because we've got quite a cane wind is a southerly wind hence the warmth we're got a lot of cloud and rain also making its way in some 14 celsius there in london we're into double figures in glasgow a 17 in paris nif 3 record high temperatures for some of these western parts of europe more of the same as we go on through sunday but notice some rather wet weather some snow coming in across the pyrenees so northern parts of spain wetter

weather also sliding across a good part of portugal central areas to standard generally stay dry not bad in vienna light winds 11 celsius will feel quite pleasant but it's still very wintry there it's that western side of russia come further south into africa because it's a cold breeze across the northeast of africa generally dry for the most part but as we go on through sunday it will turn increasingly wet for a good part of morocco with the threat of flooding. in india identity politics on the right is what we're seeing is the construction of politicians in coats and loads of unions to across the country and there's a dark side in detroit is you do see the grid the result of the majesty of the big into something more like the team i didn't see of the british today i meet with victims of violence and discover what life is like for minorities in the country join me on my journey in search of india's soul on al-jazeera. i care about how the

u.s. engages with the rest of the world i cover foreign policy national security this is very much a political impounds here's the flick how do we illustrate it are we telling a good story will people get what we're trying to team here in their living outside in makeshift tents this is not the way any family wants to raise their children we're willing a kid in taking you into a place that you might not visit otherwise and to actually feels that you were there. to move. i'll come back you're watching out 0 time to recap our headlines now there's been

more gunfire and somalia's capital as anger grows over delayed national elections this was the scene in central mogadishu with shots were heard as a presidential candidate was rallying against the current leader it's unclear who opened fire. a 20 year old woman has become the 1st protested to die in 1000000 miles and secure protests she was shot in the head last week when police were trying to disperse a crowd in the capital 90 dollars. the world health organization has called on 6 african countries to go on high alert for a boat over the 11000 banks scenes are heading to guinea and stop an uncontrolled spread of the disease. the united states officially returns to the paris climate's accord on friday it reverses for former president donald trump scaling back on commitments to a global initiative to reduce carbon emissions jabatan c reports on what side backs

if any the previous administration's decisions may have had. it was the 3rd executive order signed by joe biden. the biden administration is about to reverse donald trump's extremely rollback of environmental safeguards some $100.00 rules over the last 4 years including emission standards for cars power plants and the oil and gas industry all seen as key to saving the planet we're getting out president truman announced the u.s. is withdrawing from the paris accord in 2017 however due to a strict exit timetable stipulated in the agreement the us only officially withdrew 3 and a half years later the day after trump lost the election nonetheless it was an announcement symbolic of the irreversible damage wrought on the planet by the us over the last 4 years it did have incredible ramifications domestically and globally

we are on an actual emergency time scale we need to actually transition our tired the tricity system by 80 percent reductions by 20 or so every day that we are deploying that we are exacerbating the climate emergency. parasitical agreed to by the obama administration in 2015 committed the us to a 28 percent cut their greenhouse gas emissions from 2005 levels by 2025 at the time scientists said it was an inadequate pledge if the goal was keeping the global temperature from rising over 2 degrees celsius from pre-industrial times and a larger rise. planetary catastrophe is predicted now it may also take several years to reverse trumps regulatory rollbacks crucial time for the planet doesn't have biden in visions of carbon neutral us by 2050 but given the damage of the last 4 years members of congress argue biden will have to take bold action himself and i

think it might be a good idea for president biden to call a climate emergency. because they are needed and it's relates to what you're saying then he can do many many things under the emergency powers of the president that wouldn't have to go through if he could do without we're just now trump used this emergency for a stupid war which was an emergency but if there ever was an emergency climate is one. the president could end fracking or kick start the u.s. is alternative energy industry through executive action far quicker than it would take for congress to formulate legislation soundest small every day the u.s. delays the closer the earth is to catastrophe yes using presidential are not congressional power means that a future president not concerned with climate change could reverse policies but proponents of declaring a climate emergency argue that if the focus of the executive actions is to

fundamentally change the u.s. economy and infrastructure the impact of those policies may not be reversed. al-jazeera washington. the us is the world's 2nd largest carbon emitter behind china let's take a look at how important the pact is and how we got here the legally binding international treaty on climate change took effect in 2016 trump withdrew from the order saying it disadvantaged american workers that took effect only last november president joe biden rejoined on january the 20th his 1st day in office he wants the . world's largest economy to be carbon neutral by 2050 a decade earlier than china the paris agreement is intended to limit global warming to 2 degrees celsius above pre-industrial levels by the year 2100 dollars average temperatures are climbing already up past

1.25 degrees 2020 was one of the hottest years in recorded history for more on this we're joined by jo han wrong strong in stockholm is the director of the potsdam institute for climate impact research good to have you with us so is there still time for the us to catch up and rejoin the paris climate goals a lot has happened since the deal was agreed in 2015 has now yes but there's still time for the us to catch up we have entered a decisive decade science shows clearly that global emissions need to be cut by half between 20202030 so we are in a transformative decade the us domestically has made a lot of progress now the challenges which this is a breakthrough step but getting us back to the past agreement is to support the whole world economy to transition towards

a net 0 by 2050 almost no country though is on track with the carbon emission reduction goals how much of that do you think is a result of the u.s. withdrawal descent people making others say hey if the world's 2nd biggest polluter is not paying attention to the paracel climate accord goals then why should we. yes clearly this was the biggest damage of the trump decision not primarily what happened within the u.s. but the signal it sent to all the nations in the world that if the world's richest economy cannot afford to reduce emissions in line with the paris binding agreement why should we in india and afghanistan and nigeria afford to to to to do our part of the responsibility so that was very damaging and it slowed us down for 4 years

now with biden back at the paris agreement things have changed dramatically not that not only that the us is back and committed also that during these last 4 years despite trump we have seen so much evidence of the economic benefits of the health benefits of the security benefits of investing towards a 0 carbon economy and cross all sectors so we have a race towards electric mobility arrays towards renewable energy arrays towards more healthy air quality and that that's an interesting shift as well that occurs exact at this time and this by that that range in spite of that raise in the 1st 4 years since the paris accord was agreed we've seen combinations increase by an unprecedented amount from 402410 parts per 1000000 to your mind does this suggest that perhaps the by demonstrating should be pushing for bigger commitments to competition cuts. yes there is scientific support for even faster emission

cuts in the rich parts of the world the u.s. canada the european union but also increasingly russia china australia it's very worrying that we see. you know over 100 coal fired plants still being planned we still see financial institutions putting money behind investments in fossil fuel infrastructure these are the kind of investments that need to halt and stop immediately and we see a lot of support for you know not not reaching net 0 by 2050 in the richer parts of the world but rather by 2040 to stand a chance of having the world within the paris agreements required net 0 by 2050. 5 been good talking to you thank you so much for your analysis thanks a lot the u.n.

secretary general says countries around the world are failing to meet their own climate change targets and putting about his future at risk and tony batavia shows appealed to world leaders to renew their commitment to fight global warming the need to make these coalitions truly global and turns formative you for the opted by every country see the financial institution and company and on the world's a global coalition for governance no idea by $25.00 you can still prevent the worse the impacts of climate change but we cannot be late we are running out of time to meet temperature rise to 1.580 cells use and build resilience to the impacts the dam and they also need equal urgency and then bishan to address all we produce all foods and manage all water land and the oceans. good tat i spoke after the release of a un environment revolt outlining a triple threat the world is set to warm by at least 3 degrees celsius by the end of this century shooting past the paris of colds 2 degrees hoggett biodiversity

urged not to go outside due to heighten the health risks it's estimated that air pollution is responsible for the deaths of some $33000.00 mexicans every year and it's a problem that doesn't seem to be improving. according to a recent report by the united nations environment program progress on reducing air pollution is a mixed with air quality improving in high income countries but continuing to degrade in low income countries and viral experts add that the impact from air pollution from megacities like the mexican capital extends far beyond urban areas and have effects on local regional and global scale. the drive towards greener transport is gaining momentum in the european union and u.k. they want to have net 0 emission economies by 2050 it's prompted carmakers to pour more money into new technology for behind under simmons reports. ford one of the world's biggest car manufacturers announces
