in the vietnam war, the u. s. army used to heidi toxic had the side with catastrophic consequences. agent orange was the most destructive instance with chemical warfare. a decade later, the same happened in the us state of oregon. these helicopters flying over the ridge brain, something they didn't even see the kids foot 2 women are still fighting for justice against some of the most powerful forces in the world. the people versus agent orange analogy. zeron ah, who's going to win the match it? ah, it's a tough one. to be honest, i'm happy if they're happy, what the drivers know them and them and they get to make sure every one knows exactly what's happening, live and exclusive. that's true. so we could just focus on the well as hale sat space to deliver your vision.

lou ah, ah, hello, you're watching al jazeera, i'm namely angland. reminder of our top stories. the salam 6 palestinian rights groups recently designated as terrorist organizations by israel say, at least 3 of their activists have had their phones had. they claim the spyware to pegasus was used on them for more than a year. un is warning, the number of people on the edge of famine has risen to $45000000.00 around the world, about half of those at risk areas. afghanistan, where she's facing its worst food crisis since records began. and b, u. s. has re open its borders to old,

vaccinated travelers for the 1st time in 20 months. visitors from a 33 countries had been banned. when panoramic restrictions began, non essential travelers can now enter with a negative curve at 19 tests. the u. n's agency for palestinian refugee says it's close to collapse after it's 3rd largest di not the u . k. cut funding on ra ease trying to raise $800000000.00 at a journal conference in brussels. this month kata has pledged $18000000.00 in less, less than in recent years. the trump administration throws aid by president jo bottom, restored $235000000.00 in april. earlier this week, israel designated 6 palestinian rights organizations as terrorist groups, including some that were save european funding, nearly 6000000 palestinian refugees in gaza. the west bank east jerusalem, syria,

lebanon, and jordan, face losing essential services like food and education. the leap less rainy is commission in general at the united nations relief and works agency for palestinian refugees in the near east. he's in dough half a high level talks to help unwashed raise those funds to avoid financial collapse. the funding of the organization in fact, has not increased for nearly 10 years, where they have been multiple crisis in the region and to needs have significantly increased. and so it's a pedestal, refugees. i'm turning to one on one which is the only on, on the lifeline. and on the one being we can because as a financial crisis is unable to meet the expectation and hence you have one more distress despair and also anger. we can see that in some come the morning and the frustration is boiling right now. the situation is because there is

a total mismatch between the expected delivery and demanded been given to the agency and the resource being made available over the next 2 years. what we did was number of efficiency measure, which after that became austerity measure and started to impact on the quality of the services. today we kind of go further without really impacting the services to the refugees and hence the raising of the alarm. but the 2 main message, the 1st one is have the organization not to collapse and we are really on the edge of collapsing. and we have entered a danger zone. so it is most important that we can keep our school up and our health center often sufficient to meet them of funding make. so 1st of all, a support between now and the end of the year. and also we have to revise the way the funding is organized around the world. and we're seeking to promote more

nudity or commitment from the gulf countries and also the member states in general in order to have a better visibility on where we are going. that's returned to one of our top stories. now in the u. s. reopening it's borders to all non essential travelers. melanie lebanon is a senior travel editor at the points guy, which is an online travel blog. she joins us from at new jersey. thanks for being. he and melanie, it's certainly been a bull lake, 2 years, almost for the travel industry. how much of a boost is this now that things are opening up to all non essential travel? this is a monumental day for the travel industry and for people around the world, it's really significant for people who have been waiting for a borders to reopen. since this marks a huge turning point or travel and travelers everywhere. what kind of logistical challenges does the tourism industry face with these new measures in place and

people have to make sure they're vaccinated and provide and negative test? is that infrastructure in place? the infrastructure is in place. it's been developing by it is a logistical challenge. and one thing that travelers have to keep in mind is that there are ongoing staffing shortages across the industry. so really, i think one of the things that travellers are going to need to think about, particularly they're traveling abroad for the 1st time, is that they should expect delays. they should expect some different challenges along the way as this system gets up to speed. certainly leaving extra time to have your documents check for boarding is going to be really critical. the tourism industry, his stuff, it's great losses financially i in the last 2 years. you think you now see a surge in those losses can now be made up for it will take some time, but we're already being huge demand right now. travelers can still expect some good

deals on international place, but we expect those prices to rise as demand increases. and that capacity comes back online. but certainly this is a huge opportunity for airlines, which is really a major international hub for the hotel industry which has been waiting to build rooms. i mean, this is such a significant turning point because it affects so many travelers. and i think that's one of the really key things here, that it is a major turning point, but it's going to take some time to see just how long it takes for that recovery to really show melanie, it's difficult to believe that christmas is about 6 weeks away what are we likely to say over the holiday season? do you think people will really be trying to take advantage of this reopening? absolutely, and again, already we're seeing really strong demands of interest in international travel in both directions. so for people who are thinking about traveling for the holidays, particularly abroad, were really encouraging people to book their place. now,

of course, be mindful cancellation and re booking policies, but if you can book a check right now, you're more likely to get a better deal. we do expect prices to rise, and the thing that again, travelers need to be thinking about is that there is a ton of demand and there are still reduce capacity across the industry, staffing shortages to be mindful of. so we are encouraging travelers to pack a little extra patience. there will be some pickups along the way. i just really, in terms of winds and other slow down. so you might expect some bottlenecks at the airport and other points in your journey. but we think this is going to be a really significant holiday travel season with so much demand excitement around international travel. reopening. yeah, i think grow very happy to hear that things are opening up again. thank you for your insights. melanie leave him and a senior travel editor. thank and as we've been talking about when the corona vars, pandemic hit the world global travel ground to

a halt. international sports tourism was among the hard hit factors losing billions of dollars in revenue. some parts of europe have showed strong signs of recovery this past summer, but it's not being driven by cheap holiday packages. as paid. adobe reports from grace traveling triathletes are a unique bunch. they train all winter, they choose an exotic destination, they go there, they race. but they don't really see the destination at all. they're more concerned with the pain of racing pain. is the watchword for a long form triathlon. swim bike run 1.99021 k. quick as you like on your own. go. we combine them. sports events went down, fun occasion i get, you know, yes for 1000 your is for every one. i would say my mom hard for me and was like every 5 pound where the irony and,

and mediterranean sees come together is a historic, a beautiful part of his coastline in greece. but summer time has gone. it is over all the european schools have gone back in. there are no moms and dads playing with the kids on the speech. it could be forgiven for thinking, tourism here is dead and buried for at least the next 4 or 5 months. you'd be wrong with the local number crunches here on the greek coast of messina work on a 4 day assumption of making money for every prosperous competitor. they calculate their a $1.00 other people just along for the ride, but the groups we spoke to, however, number considerably more than $1.00 people per competitor. they were traveling and multiples of $34.00, or 5, and the old budget at roughly a $150.00 per person per day, plus flights plus accommodation, plus car hire. and that all adds up

with the race director for an amateur destination event like this one has to understand the sport and the business with a pandemic. capt field are roughly $1500.00 people having spent $400.00 each just to get to the start line. that's the start of a healthy profit margin. you can see the figures. it's huge. it's, it's 4 to 5000000 euro on this race day. there were 3 other half ironman frat lawns, taking place across europe. that was essentially a cash injection into the e. u tourist economy. $25000000.00 in just one day. they know what they want and this people because they invest a lot in being eyer on men or ladies or they, they are, i would say more wealthy than either segments. everyone we spoke to was united like 2 things. firstly,

they want to get past cope it. they say it's been 2 years. enough's enough. they also want to train plan book, race and spend spend, spend pete, adobe al jazeera massena greece. time is running out. that's the message from for my u. s. president. barack obama, who is speaking at the club, 26 summit in glasgow, abandoned praise. the progress made seems 20 fifteens paris climate deal. that wound it's not enough collectively and individually. we are still falling short. we have not done nearly enough to address this crisis. we are going to have to do more and whether that happens or not to a large degree is gonna depend on you. not just those of you in this room. but anybody who's watching or reading

a transcript of what i say her to them and al jazeera is andrea simmons, he is apt to summit in glasgow and says a bomb. a speech was well received. he is speaking in a private capacity. he has nothing to do with the negotiations here, but he is a key figure in terms of a climate control. because he did sign on behalf of the united states, the paris agreement in 2016. of course, donald trump had other ideas with our agreement and pulled out of it when he became president. but now under joe biden, the u. s. is back and as a palmer was saying, it's back and it's strong and it's taking a leadership role along with others. now this address, as i say, does have no bearing on the proceedings here, but it has certainly encouraged a lot of young people because he did single out this issue of youth leadership. and

how old are people if they're not engaging? if they are in denial over over climate climate control of global warming, then they should get out and make way for the youth. because that, that generation was the one that was, is threatened with what he called a catastrophe. so he spelt it out in not in optimistic terms at all. he did refer to progress being made, butts, the lack of initiative. the lack of, of ambition by many countries are failing to make the mission targets of 6 years ago. poland has accused belarus of trying to sponsor a major confrontation and says it's mobilizing additional troops at the board and this is up to 40 on social media showed hundreds of migrants walking towards the perimeter. the polish border guards says several people attempt to force their way through. bombed y them a you says president lucas shank is administration is encouraging people to cross

in retaliation against sanctions imposed. dominic cane has the latest from the german poland border. the significance of this particular story right now is to fold because representing the 2 border issues with which the e u has to wrestle. the 1st one is in borders within member states. the 2nd one outer borders between member states and non e u countries where i am right now. hank foot and older on the other side of the bridge here is the polish town of sloop. it's the odor river forms the natural frontier. and if you can say traffic coming and going across the border as it please, if there is a very discrete police presence here, and they've told us that they stop only people whose behavior is such that warrant them being stopped for control to be performed. but generally speaking, here, this is example of an inner porter which is wide open, which the e. u wants to keep that way, but that's totally different juxtaposed that as it were with the outside board or

the one between poland and yellow ross. the one between the baltic states and, and countries such as yellow russell, those are the ones where the e. u. wow. certainly in the shape of poland has tried to close as much of that border as possible or at least put a fence that certainly lithuanians have done that with a b l, a russian border. so that's a significant fear. the e u wants to keep these borders within its member state wide open, but some of its borders, particularly with piano. so i want to keep that very much more firmly under control . china is ruling communist parties holding an important leadership meeting in by jing the talks will lay the groundwork for the 2022 congress where president change in paying will sake. a 3rd term good training you explains from badging. 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 leaves the groundwork for the coming year. but this week's 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 most, i think is really focusing global attention on this new paradigm. this new way of governing that could lead to real breakthroughs for humanity. only 3 official historical resolutions have been announced since the chinese communist party was founded in 945 party found at mount. don't use the 1st to claim his position as trying his absolute leader as well as point out the missteps of early communist revolutionaries. in 1981 resolution announced under don't 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 position as the ultimate peoples leader. what she's position in the party is now unchallenged. this is thanks to the constant purchase during the past 9 years, anti corruption campaigns, an increasing purchase of civil society, public 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 talented to success in following through on promises to make china wealthy and powerful presidency 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 base. the critics say, great danger. generally the, for what we have seen, a resurgence of author, retirees, and one that combines the soviet etiology, nazi germany and even previous japanese and italian models, along with china's own tradition with the products. this means that in phase of criticism, from all over the world, keeping it is very difficult for it to react flexibility to react with a real open this. and then they seclusion, i believe it is the greatest, the threat to the chinese communist system. now the 40 gathering will also include discussions on who will place on the top leaders, including the premier starting next year, katrina, you all to 0 aging. still ahead on al jazeera, newcastle,

united named the manager tasks with saving the club from relegation. and he's here with audio sports news just after the break. ah.

with mm pool. ah ah, tom now is what he is, andy, thank you so much. emily will pass alone. his new head coach, shabby hernandez says, describe this club as the biggest in world football says he's on a rescue mission to save that seemed reputation. the boss are playing legend has been officially introduced. the following, the dismissal of ronald king big. that for the 41 year old, his only managerial experience up to now is with their kid. sorry,

club al sadi takes charge of barcelona with a seaman. unusually bad shape. the 9th in the spanish league on a run, a fort league games that a win shall. he will also take over depleted spot with 11 1st team players out injured. and i have a tough time recruiting new talents given out barcelona as a financial situation to cover more than $1500000000.00 in debt. it's really important that we put rules in the tim is, is that the main point, the 1st point and then we can talk about values. respect at peter effort is, is reading board on me goes, if we don't have these values, we will have them. and there we can talk about the again, model, the way to play, how we, how we want a dark, how are we going to defense? but in my opinion, the most important thing is put these 1st 1st rules. and then we want to decide how we play and how we, how we wanna go, how you on an event. now we've been talking to boston or bass,

verbal rhetoric sharma. he says making sure bass are in next seasons. champions. league is a top priority. patience is the key word. it really is because is picking up a seamless down in the dumps. it's almost as low as possible for public best to go and always on the pitch where the team is putting in dia performance. as we saw last weekend. there were 3 left off, something in san diego, and they drew 3 all which shows you the, the physical degradation of the squad. and the men who think relation job is lack of experience is probably the one factor that makes them an unknown quantity. the other question mark is whether jackie's style style is very similar to the side where the file will fit while you go in and it's more than iran and whether he can adapt the stuff he's been doing with outside has been been very exciting very. but

i think that, you know, the leader is a different proposition, a fall when they qualify for the champions league or be an unmitigated disaster, both for the squad, because a lot of those players like frankie deal, for example. so junior to arrive foss with plenty of other options to choose from desk to guns by me, and it shows buffer to be outside of that competition would be a grand humiliation for the club. it would be, it would be shocking and was still the finances because gave me the champions league a golden ticket. that money is absolutely essential. the boss glena. so just thought rebuilding school to start, you know, being able to compete talent in the trunk window again. laddie house be named as manager of premier league, same newcastle united. he succeeds thus the phrase suicide. last month, i was the 1st big signing seen by the clubs, new owners, a saudi arabian back consulting bullet, same in october, the former bowman manager where he faces a big challenge is well with new counsel sitting 2nd bottom in the table. the man
