cash and into eastern congo. they were wondering you've got to do a denied being involved in this group. we don't know exactly why it's re service again now input, if you haven't communicated anything, hasn't said what it demands or what it aims are. but compared to 8 years ago, the situation is very different into far as the congo leads. army is not nearly as strong as it was at that moment when it had been the sanction support from un peacekeepers in some foreign support. and also this comes at a time where eastern congo is relatively insecure to other groups. the adf, another one called cadet cottages to the north of this area, have been attacking a lot of towns and villages and ambushing vehicles on the road. in recent years, the areas generally less stable where we don't know how strong in 23 is at this moment with the has any foreign support as it was widely believed to have before 6

palestinian rights groups recently designated as terrorist organizations by israel say at least 5 activists have had the phones hacked. they say israeli authorities use the spyware to pegasus for more than a year. right? scripts of demanding and international investigation into the hacking that's got more in this. mary fossil, who's in ramallah far as one of the groups saying, harry well, yes, i should clarify one thing. they are not absolutely alleging that it was israel. behind this, they were calling for investigation after the discovery that they say they have made through the help of external organizations. namely, a group called frontline defenders who cross reference that road investigation with 2 other groups, the citizen lab and the amnesty international security lab as well. what they say took place was that one of the members of one of these groups discovered something

strange about their phone. in mid october, on the 16th of october, this phone or the records of this phone will passed over to frontline defenders who began their investigation into it and discovered they say pegasus software on it. this is the software, the spyware, that has been getting so much attention over the last couple of years, developed and sold by the israeli, and s. so group 2 governments around the world with all sorts of consequences for it. and for the kinds of targets that those governments had decided to to go after using the software which can download apps on people's phones in an unsuspecting way, can use the camera and microphone on those on those phones as well. and has recently been put on the us government's own band list of organizations. and so, and so they are saying that having discovered this on one phone,

they then looked at 75 other phones associated with these 6 organizations that have been outlawed, or declared as tara groups by the israeli government a couple of weeks ago. and they found that there was 6 phones with traces of the pegasus software on it. what they're also saying is that the timing of all this is very interesting that this happened this 1st alert on the 16th of october, just 3 days later came the ready designation of the 6 and jose very significant and g o, the ones that have been at the heart of civil society in the occupied west bank for many, many years. it was just 3 days later they were designated as terror organizations providing funnelling money to the p f l p. which itself is designated as a terror organization by israel and many western countries. are you foster in ramallah? how are you? thank you very much. indeed. china's willing communist party is holding unimportant

leadership meeting in beijing. it's also lay the groundwork for the 2022 congress where she will seek a 3rd time katrina, you reports from basing about 400 of china's most powerful officials are meeting this week in beijing. the secret of gathering known as the plenum is the most important in the country's political calendar and laid the groundwork for the coming year. but this weeks event is especially significant. a historical resolution is due to be unveiled. this will determine the direction of chinese politics, both philosophical and practical for years to come. this integration between philosophy, history and politics. i think that makes it unique. and this i think, is really focusing global attention on this new paradigm. this new way of governing that could lead to real breakthroughs for humanities. only 3 official historical resolutions have been announced since the chinese communist party was founded. in 1945 party found

a mounted. don't use the 1st to claim his position as china's absolute leader, as well as point out the missteps of early communist revolutionaries. in 1981 resolution announced under don helping criticize the problems of the cultural revolution and justified economic and industrial reforms. this year, the party will mock the achievements of the past 100 years. it will focus on strengthening the communist party as the only political force in china and consolidating. she's positioned as the ultimate peoples leader issue, she's position in the part, it is now unchallenged. this is thanks to the constant purchase during the past 9 years, anti corruption campaigns, an increasing purchase of civil society popular opinion and the internet. in 2018 being scrapped, presidential term limits allowing she to rule for life earlier this year. as the

communist party celebrated a century in rule, he declared the achievement of a moderately prosperous society. state media countered his success in following through on promises to make china wealthy and powerful president, she is expected to use this year's plenum to elevate himself above previous liter. it's likely that his version of recent history will be accepted as the official history of the party. and he will further strengthen his power that the critics say, the great danger. jos. we the full hall. we have seen a resurgence of all 3. isn't one that combines the soviet etiology, nazi, germany, and even previous japanese and the italian models, along with china's own tradition with this means that in the face of criticism from all over the world, it is very difficult for us to react flexibility to react with a real openness, this exclusion, i believe,

is the greatest the threat to the chinese communist system. now, the 40 gathering will also include discussions on who will place on top leaders, including the premier starting next year. katrina, you all to 0 aging. stella had on al jazeera, we're going to have more from baghdad on the investigation into the attack on the prime minister must have all caught me. ah, ah, look forward to brightest scully's, the with sponsored point cuts on it weighs winters, shown his early hand in beijing. this big system, he on his way up through the northern part of charlotte, left a few centimeters now on the ground. fatty was cold enough for a while to be really freezing icicles, for example, hanging off the gutters but overseas some people enjoyed it. that the snow was soon milk spacings up to 8 degrees during tuesday and was fully at the sky east the

northeast. so hobbins got my start with the backwash when these met, should he so sauls down to 9, and that, echoing cross eventually hit the western side of honshu or kado. i think this would be the 1st snow, for example, for geometry of the season in showers fairly frequent shells calling on this norton sure is up to 12, beijing that this cold air has pushed all we're down to the south. hong kong dropped bad 8 degrees in the last couple of days, or will it done a time to get to wednesday? that's about where it should be. now, this is the proper feeling of wind to know equally, the ne monsoon is set in north nicely. there's been excessive rain fall in time, another including chin i. st flooding again this more to come here and insur lanka . whereas the north of india, things are bit to settled the winter. while the winter anti cycling is settled down . there's not much movement in air quality is particularly poor in new delhi, very poor or hazardous to be precise for the weather sponsored by caraway's, individual,

the country with an abundance of results. right. i really want him to leave here burnsville, we move full to grow and fraud. we balance the green economy, blue economy, and the digital economy. with the new job creation law, indonesia is progressively ensuring the policy reform to create quality jobs, investment. let it be possible in his growth and progress in this in the media now . ah ah, your what your does it a reminder like top stories. this are sedans, military leaders says he will not be part of a future government. general,

our daughter albert han, told al jazeera he's committed to transferring power to civilian leadership. once elections are held in 2023. a rebel groups reportedly taking control of villages in north hebrew, in the troubled east of democratic republic of congo. hundreds of people crossing the border into uganda to avoid potential violence. 6 palestinian rights groups have recently designated as terrorist organizations by israel's, at least 5 activists of had their phones heights. they say the spyware tool pegasus was used in the forms for more than a year. the u. s. is offered to help iraqi authorities investigating the attack on the countries. prime minister, armed drones targeted must have all had him his residence to the high security green zone. and the hours of sunday he escaped unharmed. it comes out a violent protest against the recent election results. mark my dad, the warhead has the latest on the investigation. they have found out that to jones,

up loaded with explosives, they were launch it from an area about 12 kilometers north east of buck, dad, and they were flying at lou altitude. and that's the reason why they were not detected by right doors. they jones, according to your head, us will also, they will not flying over the u. s. embassy. that is why they were not hit by the embassies defense systems. well, these are the supporters of the political parties. the last, in the election, the iranian affiliated political parties, previously dominant political parties, the last many seats in the election. then they say that they will continue protesting here until the election electoral commission responds to their demand by conducting a manual recount of old the votes. but on the other hand, the political readers that the political leaders of the political party,

the last in the election day, met last night according to inform its sources close to the prime minister must have caused me. they met with a rainy and commander of puts force, a part of the iranian republic on guard. he met with a cover me here in baghdad. and he wants to send a message that iran does not want any escalation between these groups and call me, at least for the time being. he wants to diffuse the tension between cousins, government, and those iranian backed groups. the urine is warning the number of people on the edge of famine has risen to 45000000 around the world. the jump is largely done to food security in afghanistan. more than half the population as about 22000000 people don't know over the next meal is coming from charlotte bellis reports from couple for agencies say without immediate medical intervention, millions of children may starve to death. ho,

sunjay is one of the busiest food markets in western cargo. the produce comes fresh from farms outside. the city prices are cheap. for 3 years re zohler has been here with his wheelbarrow. he's a karate one men who for a small fee transport shop is groceries. yet for the last few months, his wheelbarrow has been mostly empty. he says, shoppers can't afford his services. got away from his stuff was he wasn't. there is no business. he tells his man, we just roam around. he approaches women hopeful they may need help and i sent it over to follow auntie. do you need a wheelbarrow? he asks, but they walk away or ignore him. but i generally, if i thought i say he is 5 hours into his work day and his earned only $0.20, he used to earn about $3.00 a day enough to pay his rent and feed his family. frustrated, he hits home, he spends his day surrounded by food,

but even more frequently returns to his family empty handed. afghanistan's economy is collapsing, under the last government 75 percent of public expenditure came from foreign grants . usaa un sanctions meant that evaporated upon the tele bonds. takeover taliban officials say they need sanctions lifted an aid agencies to return to tackle the problem. oh, with little money to go round banks limit withdrawals. employers can't pay this stuff and result in his family a paying the price. to day they had green tea for breakfast. lunch is darlin bread . they will rush in the leftovers for dinner. must have seen a far as well. i'm sure that our 11 for god must have heard that one was coming. i used to bring a lot of food to the house before the taliban, but now there is no work. and it is pushing me to even more of a crisis. i'm due to pay $22.00 for rent,

but i still owe for last month. and the children's health is getting weaker day by day. they are not learn 95 percent of people in afghanistan are not consuming enough food. and more than half about 22000000 people and the nourished some so severely, they may not make it through the winter. this is what rizal is trying to avoid. al jazeera has visited multiple hospitals in recent month. the ward swelling with more children being treated for mel nutrition agency say it's the worse food crisis in afghanistan. since records began, they say children are already starving to death. we are looking at 5000000 children who are one step away from starving to death. to that city, us 5000000 children are going hungry. they do not have food. yes. evolving on bread . and the day that really the i'm getting is not is not enough to sustain them

reusable. it doesn't know what to do. he says the pressure is a means the days are getting shorter and he wondered if he and his wheelbarrow bring home just enough for his young family to last the winter. charlotte beller soldiers era couple. they will join our by david beesley, executive director for the u. n world food program. good to have you with us, david. as always, the pictures that we're seeing out of afghanistan are our heartbreaking. they're very difficult sometimes to, to, to watch just how bad is it going to get, you know, robert just left there. i was in, i have given us in this morning in these pictures, you're talking about stories. these are not isolated incidents, this is rapid across the country and it's only deteriorated as we speak right now. we're looking at a country of 40000000 people, whereby now you have 23000000 marching towards starvation and out of that almost 9000000 or it famines door knocking away. and as i talked with mothers and fathers who lost the jobs, have no more money,

they're showing everything they have. and now the winter months are coming. they don't have heating fuel, they're running out of food. miss jessica, as we've talked before about the complex interaction of things that come to get us to the situation. but is there something specific that you can point to that is crucial? are key to the situation that we're finding in afghanistan now, but it's a combination of fighters not just years of conflict, but also you've had drought economic deterioration along with coven compounding all of that. and now you've got the international community because the taliban is taken over freezing all international resources. and that's billions of dollars. that normally would be going to teachers and health care workers. and that trickles down, trickles down to the, to men and women who may be cleaning holes throughout the streets. and, and i talked to doesn't as dozens of the men and women who just heartbroken, they don't know what they're going to do. i mean, you are already hearing stories of, of a women mother's cell in one child to feed the other children in hopes that,

that child can be taken care of by another family in it hasn't gotten as bad as this going to yet yet. and the next 6 months are going to be heretic unless c international community truly unfreezes those assets. so they can pay the teachers . because now students really aren't in school. it's not a girl boy thing as a money thing. and so we're going to need and this is just what's remarkable for us to reach to $23000000.00 people at 50 percent rations now is going to cost $230000000.00 a month a month. so where's that go to come from? is that gonna come from the children in yemen? syria, ethiopia, this a hell. so the major leaders in the world have gotta step up and recognize the reality that we're facing in don't penalize the innocent victims of this conflict. now i know that the w p is putting its own funding into this and its own support into this. but given the structure of, of janice down given what's going on there at the moment. how confident can you be

that the age that you're going to be supplying is actually going to get to the people who need it? rob, actually extremely. i've met with taliban leaders and talked about access. in fact, before the taliban took over, already they were controllers. 60 to 70 percent of the geography. in fact, we've not had a problem working in the areas that the taliban have controlled. in fact, they have assured us in fact have delivered on allowing us the access that we need . we don't take a view politically and either sat away, we are neutral, impartial, independent, and they, we have, as i've asked him, clearly, you must make certain that we have independence to act in so far. we've not had any problems. if actually a security was hip protected, our warehouse is protected, are people making certain that there's no corruption, diversion of food, allowing us to do our job. and that's what we want in need in any area of conflict with as yemen or syria. and so we, we're,

we working these types of environments all the time, so we know how to get it done. and right now, the taliban has not been an obstacle for us. and in fact, we're discussing with them how to get girls back in school. we wanna do school meals programs, our women are back at work and that's been a positive development. and now what happens in couple of sometimes is not the same . that happens in every province inside afghanistan, and we're working on those on an individual basis. and we're making progress, it bumps in the road, and bumps in road everywhere. we go and war zones in conflict areas. and i want to widen this out a little bit. obviously, this is a global problem and i know that there are individual elements that contribute to it towards this, but how much of of addressing the problem of food security generally is down to changing our diet. how much is about technology? how much is about just the way we cultivate our crops? how do you blend all of that? if you can make it works well, you know, when you would think in a world with so much technology innovation and over $400000000.00 a well high in the world, we struggling. in fact,

when you think about 200 years ago, 95 percent of the people on earth were in extreme poverty. and today, less than 10 percent. we been dry in the hungary down extraordinary in the last 200 years, in particularly in the last 2 years. but in the last 4 years is going back up and you got to ask yourself why in the number one reason has been man made conflict. the number to reason is climate impact, places like madagascar this a hail in afghanistan, we have drought. in fact, when you look with the number of children, the most now nourish right now in afghanistan is in the areas where the additional problem of drought is compounded. economic deterioration, conflict cove, it and things like this. we could actually in hunger by 2030, which is, you know, development goal that the whole world has adapted. if we can, in the conflicts, even with climate change, we could, in famine in, in hunger. but conflict has been the number one driving force, but interesting enough this past year. it's always been conflict has been the

driving force. the for the most displaced people this past year, out of the 40000000 that were displaced 30000000 or from climate change. your site loans shocks, flash, flooding, droughts and things like that. so is evolving. this changing out there is a different world and in my opinion, we've got to technology, we've got the expertise to deal with it. we just need a comprehensive skill in up and attention drawn to these countries that are struggling so much just looking through the figures, the amount of money that you need and obviously other organizations as well needs to be able to deal with food scares in the world. are staggering, we're talking billions and billions of dollars. do you ever get the feeling that as an organization and as an individual, when you're talking to people about this so fervently so passionately that you're shouting into the void? you know, when i, what i joined oral food program as, as it's executive director, my go was put the oral food program out of business. you know that we would, we wouldn't have hunger in any the countries when we would provide the programs to

allow people to be self sufficient. you wouldn't need outside a, in, quite frankly, every beneficiary i meet would like to take care of their own children. and so these are the night programs we want to engage in, but lately it's just been war and conflict than natural disaster from flooding and psych loans. and we're now going backwards and you just get a feel hopeless. but when you're out there and you see that little child whose life is in your hands, and i and i had to think. but if that were my little girl, my little boy, we can't give up on them. we can't do that. so this year coming, particularly the next 12 months because we, we had an unprecedented perfect storm because of economic variation. conflict, climate change in yet cove just came on top of all that. so the number of people that were marching to starvation over a year ago, right? before cobra was 135000000 and that was up from 80000000, driven by primarily, my men may conflict with a number after cove it or in the midst of cove. it went from 835-2270 1000000

people, coven, economic deterioration. we thought coven would be over that 20. 22. in the economic deterioration is only recycled because code didn't go away. and so this economic deterioration is further exacerbated. what was a perfect storm to become a catastrophic perfect on the 2022. and that's why we need the additional 6 and a half to $7000000000.00 to reach the $42.00 to $45000000.00 people that literally are knocking on family door in rod, if we don't reach them, you go, have you go have starvation famines of biblical proportions or an d stabilization, a few nations, an mass migration from these nations because people they don't have enough food for their little girls, little boys and they don't have any degree appeaser stability. they do in any mum when they ever do, they will fan it somewhere. we've seen that history and it costs a 1000 times more when that happens versus we can feed a person

a child. busy for $25.00 to $0.45 per year. david beasley world for program, we appreciate you being with us and our 0. thank you very much. thank you. thank you very much. ah, this is al jazeera, these are the top stories, the army general who led a military takeover in sudan last month says he will not be part of a future government. after the transitional period, speaking exclusively to al jazeera, other fighter r bohannon says he's committed to a smooth democratic transition. once elections are held in 2023, her record of her lumberjacks a remodel. i seated on numerous occasions. if things go as planned, i will continue to function until the reins of power handed over to neglected government. i simply wish to serve my people truly and faithfully. after that, i will have no political role. i have no hopes.
