k g b became active. their sense of security in georgia has been shaken. i've tried to believe that this is quite the same that georgia will not use this law against people who are under $30.00 from dollar money. because if i work, a lot of people who are absolutely didn't make anderson better, go to the reason them to, to us since last year's elections. the better rushing k g b has ruthlessly pursued. lucas shank goes opponents. even hijacking a ryan air flight to arrest journalist romance, protest savage, the subsequent flight, embargoed of better ruth. by the you made georgia, a popular alternative refuge. the emigres bella. ruth will look the ways to catch them. said this activist who are not to be identified only me, they will tell the ga government,

the people who are here that drug dealers or they have a common crime or they do something really, really bad kind of organized crime. so that, that georgia will thing that this is extremely, very threatening for georgia. there was some people that georgia prime minister has denied the agreement will target the russians bailable this agreement will not be used against citizens. this is a usual framework agreement with the framework of which the security services conclude an agreement to cooperation in the context of trans national crimes, terrorism, etc. i repeat, this is not directed citizens. this agreement was actually signed back in 2016, but the decision not to revoke it has come as a big disappointment, not only for the better russian community here in receipt. but george, his west and allied president, michelle. they have expressed alarm and recent events in georgia home and the government abandoning a promise to introduce reforms. oh god, it's reluctant to condemn far right violence. and now the deal with beller is

walking away from the west and walking towards a bloody regime, the worst human rights abuse or any instrument that the dealer receives k g b. this is very disturbing. many better russians thought georgia with an island of freedom. he's the you that perception look increasingly distorted. robin 1st the walker, al jazeera, liberty, parents and columbia are demanding justice for missing son to vanish during the civil war. they say government soldiers killed them and what's known as the false positive scandal. poor and mentally disabled men were targeted and extra judicial killings. so the military could wrongly claim they had eliminated for rebels. i'll just 0 met one mother this week whose son disappeared more than a decade ago. nobody mario, my name is mario. yas,

if that is moving for my son, qualified for the last 4 years, he was 6 years old and he traveled to go from there. he was taking away. so do i don't need that level of funds for cities was i'm ready to use my time to move up the range or nearly thought it says in our name, for example, they came 5 or 6 boys and they passed the most shadows gained income and then the said that they were, we were just gonna give them, what were they talking about if they were just innocent boy, muslim or no. they said that we were crazy layers and that we were them into reputation in san lucas on until the special for bees recognized that in this case there were $6400.00 and to be, to me and that number is going to be,

you know, so it's almost like we started looking for our sons and realize what actually happened is it was atrocious. land knows when the old oh lord, who are bonded by the pain and sadness. we started to realize that we were all living for the same thing. and i say that thing with united us and we transformed it into action and personally important, it was very important to know the truth in order to find them and give them a proper maria. so our hearts can rest on me. lou jo, my fake convenience, as long as i have the strength, i will always be there looking for them and making these miserable so it does not remain in impunity on climate change loss of habitat and over fishing or damaging marine life around the world. that's according to the international union for a conservation of nature that's released a red list of threatened species more than

a 3rd of all sharks on res could become extinct over fishing is the main cause. although habitat laws effect 31 percent of those species, the largest living lizard, the commode, or dragon has moved from vulnerable to endangered, but enforcement of fishing code as seen for tuna species start to recover. craig hilton taylor is head of the red las unit at the international union for conservation of nature. he says conservation programs have been successful in saving some species from dying out with the chin. is it showing that the are putting in place quotas and having good regulation frameworks and having countries arranged countries? implementers coaches, and we're pretty closely with the fisheries industries. there's been a good partnership there. we don't see the same partnership happening yet with the shocks. there are various legal instruments around the world, but only $45.00 fees are actually really protected from, from the fishing at the moment. so there's

a lot more if it needs to go into something and limiting shock catches around the world. but also the look at the market share who's consuming shock products and how do we change social attitude around consumption of shock products. we have to bring a new regulation frameworks recently to it, up to what ones do. but have those operate across many more range countries for the shocks and raise. but we need to do social studies look at consumption patterns of shock products in asian countries and to see what can be done to get them to switch to alternative products, not to have this kind of impact on shocks. well, how do we make the consumption more sustainable? we had a paper published 2 years ago or year ago we, we looked at seats on the red us that would they have gone extinct will not. and we certainly can show that tens of 100 the species have been saved from extinction because of the registered, alerting people to the fact that they are close to extinction. i've been working

with governments and local authorities, another conservation organizations putting into place effective conservation measures to then turn things around and bring species back from the brink of extinction. and so because of the beta said, raising the local and then getting the action in on the ground happening, we've been able to say species from extinction. but you know, they are seeking ration the brink, many, many thousands of them. and so, you know, we really have to ramp up if it's around the world to stop extinction from happening. ah, ah, kind of again, the headlines on al jazeera, a civilian commercial flight, has taken off from the afghan capital for the 1st time since the city fell to the taliban last month. it follows repairs to the runway and radar with the help of technical teams from cats are turkey. more fighting has taken place in the last pocket of resistance against the taliban in afghanistan.
