living in between poverty to venezuela, electric on al jazeera, the stage a thing, and it's time for a different approach. one that is going to challenge the way you think from international politics, to the global pandemic, and everything in between. upfront with me mark lamond hill on out 0 ah . ready the most polluted city in the world, people in law and pakistan. appeal for urgent help. meanwhile in india, toxic air quality leads the government to shut down schools and colleges indefinitely. ah, hello, i'm adrian finnegan. this is al jazeera alive from doha. also coming up,

we'll get an update from the poland bella ruth board up the day after a violent crack, donald migrants refugees who are stuck there. and that a push to and fighting in ethiopia to drive agent. your secretary of state, honestly blinking is in nairobi to lend support to regional diplomatic efforts. ah, air pollution is choking millions of people across the south asia. a cloud of smoke as enveloped several countries, including india and pakistan in india's capital. new delhi schools have been closed indefinitely and many businesses are shot. the pollution in the pakistani city of la whore is even worse. a recent index puts it as the most polluted city in the world. out 0 come, al hider has more now, from pakistan's capital islamabad, there are hundreds of brick fact trade spewing take black smoke into the air. so

this is a problem that had been growing and that had become worse now, although the health of fisher wanting that people church day and god this year to avoid open spaces, the schools and the factory, then workspaces remain open and a lot of people don't have the luxury of not going to work because they have to earn a living the government. on the other hand, i'd been promising to get to act together. my dad failed to do so. one example is that burning of the stubborn on both sides of the border, one job at the agriculture and red budget of india and buckets, dawn and farmers there for hundreds of years. i've been gorging, setting a light, the double laughter there. all right. we can also riding considerably today, pollution story and did a very dangerous situation. so far the government had not moved except to plan down on a factory. they were laughter in for strict environmental measures to ensure that they

turned into the air from the factory, from the heavy traffic, which also constitutes over 40 percent of that pollution. they have to be addressed . these are serious problems. people who lives are a great. however, the government has not done much to try to mitigate this cry case. let's get an update on the situation from new delhi out here as pumping the towel is that students in india had just returned for in passing learning. and now they have to revert to online classes because of another emergency in the national capital. and that of course, is the worsening air quality. now the government and authorities have passed a slew of emergency measures after the supreme court intervened. so construction which ease one of the major pollutants in new delhi has been paused for long. i was only opposed to the end of the week, but will only resume next week. now workers and unions are not happy about this.

they've actually challenged this order and said that they need to be compensated on top of that. are your trucks that carry emergencies, the emergency goods will be allowed in delhi, but others will not deli, around any there. on the 11th thomas power, plant 6 of them. so more than half of them will be temporarily closed. they're also other a ways in which the government and authorities are trying to control pollution levels, trying to control and sort of arrest the health hazards. so a lot of water sprinkling on plans on streets use of da suppressants and also anti small guns in areas where pollution levels are higher. al, we're going to see that happening over the next couple of days. now the met department says that pollution levels will only saw improving often monday when you may have a little more of of a windy situation so you will have little more wind and smug may reduce. but until then, absolute other situation could continue to be as bad. if not, was thousands of refugees and migrants remain stranded along the poland. bella

roost border. they've been trying to cross into the european union from belarus on tuesday. police in poland, fire water, cannon, and tear gas to keep them out. full and accuses bella luce, of using the migrants as a weapon of belarus. as set up some shelters for the migrants and refugees at a warehouse. many have been sleeping and make shift camps in freezing conditions. let's go live now to the polish side of the border with ben roussel deserves acid. big is that bring us up to speed with what's happening there to day after the dramatic events of tuesday. when it's been a relatively quiet morning to day considering what happened yesterday, but we have been seeing images of people underbelly recite of the border, trying to keep warm, crowded around fires in that forest. there's about $1000.00 people in that makeshift, sheltered a believe that they were provided with bedding,

a blankets and food, bless. others returned to their tents in that face and other state at that border terminal. now, the polish border guard says that there were a $161.00 attempted across the border last night and 9 of their forces were injured . now the polish defense minister here has said that the country should prepare itself for this not to be resolved quickly. he said he could go on for months and he hopes it doesn't go on for years. so that's the situation currently here or with poland, pretty much bracing itself or for this to carry on for a while. but the polish media here have been reporting yesterday's events. some of them have been describing those people on the other side of the board are trying to getting to poland as hooligans attacking their forces. and tell us more about our, the temporary, temporary shelters that at the belarus has been providing.

yes, there's been a consider the matter of attention about the 2 man karen situation under the russian side of the border or so it looks like really roost is now provided this warehouse or that they're fir allocated for some of these people to go. but not everybody's are using that you so understand that some people went back into the forest and of course it is a very long border. it's around for over 400 kilometers long or but we also here in that plane should be arriving from iraq or to take back those iraqi citizens are at the border or back to their country if they want to know the iraqi embassy has said that there's about 171 iraqi citizens that have registered to be a to go home back to their country. but many others just don't want to go because they've sold their belongings and had their life savings all or in attempt to try and get into europe and effectively to i said, i sent back their reporting live from the border between poland and bella. ruth, as acid was saying, many iraqi refugees migrants are among bows,

stock out that border out as here. as i mean, the gummy has been to that warehouse and bell roofs were many of the mustang in ology, in your film i did on the la l. here are some of the refugees around 1000 according to bell routine authorities. many are waiting to know whether they can go back to iraq. men iraqi authorities are ready to send an airplane to get them from the capital. minsky or the side, the rocky embassy in moscow says around 200 have expressed their wish to return. i mean, there was political contact yesterday between bella ruth, am european union. they know these contacts are ongoing jacket. there's also been contacts between bella luce and other countries in order to find a solution to this crisis that the iraq secretary of state has met kenny, as president in nairobi as part of a diplomatic push to bring peace to ethiopia. the ear long conflict between ethiopians, government of rebels from that all and to gray region. as escalated in recent weeks, they've been warnings that could spiral into a full scale civil war. kenya has been pushing for negotiations and

a cease fire out there. as catherine sawyer has the latest form, nairobi, the huge impact on the us has relation good relationships with kenya, and very good relationship with if you p as well. but this relationship with the feel p has been strained in the last a year or so. the u. s has threatened sanctions against a theo pier, but then he's holding off on that to allow for a chance for a dialogue. so there are the secretary of state are in his meeting with president looking at her and to brief him on his recent visit to if you up here, the president was there on sunday where he met our prime minister. i'll be our med and are the government officials are to talk about a peaceful resolution a can yup. is playing a pivotal role in intervention efforts if seen of laurie of diplomatic efforts going on from the us from the african union and war on that was envoy

nigeria from one nigeria president or less a good a passenger has met both sides of the conflict. the to grand leadership as well as the government, and at least publicly brookside, say that they have no appetite for an outright war, but we haven't seen beyond that any movement to a cease fire or even talks. i'm so people are worried about that and they see that there needs to be more pressure on these 2 groups. they're both have been accused of human rights atrocities. in fact, the u. n. has released as a report statement as saying that to, to grands in id, stop by and other areas are being lat, rounded by security forces and detain. so there is a lot of concern in a few peer right now. the threat of a 2 week strike by energy workers in nigeria has triggered product, buying a petrol stations, long queues of cause a blocking streets in the capital above. the government is trying to assure people verizon fuel available to that house installed. the drivers rushing to fill up the

country's main union wants the government to intervene and what it says are unfair labor practices among oil companies. today's president has survived that impeachment vote. the senate fell short of a 2 thirds majority needed to oust sebastian pioneer up. he was accused of corruption following the leak of so called pandora papers that exposed the hidden wealth of some world leaders and business people, the documents linked for the other to the sale of a mining company. so a family business to a close friend that he had a denies the charges, but our latin america added to lucy and human says that still a chance that the president will face a legal battle. president sebastian pineda had been accused of gravely compromising the dignity of the country and of impropriety. but unlike in the lower house, the president concerned with polish and had enough votes to block conviction, which required a 2 thirds majority, one by one chillies. 43 senators argued in favor or against the charges that the

president had used his political power for his personal economic benefit. in this case of family trust, the deal involved the $125000000.00 land sale for a mine and port project in what is an environmental hotspot. the deal involved guarantees that the area would not be declared a protected marine park. see, are y'all gonna pay by the here, okay. can a guess or no one can be so nice as to believe that he did not use his office to benefit him. so for one thing was reasonable. if it was another one, was stupidity up? no, i'm in that area that is one of chillies richest men and has a history of ethically and legally questionable business dealings. yet he denies any wrong doing and insisted impeachment was manipulated by the opposition for political gain just ahead of this sunday's national elections. the sensitive timing of this trial may have actually worked in pinion as favor. many believe that removing a president just days before a national election,

or just 5 months before his due to step down could be to the stabilizing. but on the streets of santiago, some didn't seem to care for chris pena hasn't been able to govern amid all the problems we've had. that's caused a lot of anger. so i for one wouldn't miss him. i'd put a motion on the level either. i don't care what happens to panera, i don't like politicians, we all bunch of these in this country. i don't even know if i'll vote and sundays elections. spira is the 1st president in gillian history to have been impeached by congress. but while he may have survived this trial, that doesn't mean that congress may not decide to present different or similar charges against him once he left office. which means that sebastian benita may not be out of the woods yet. still to come here on al jazeera communities in western canada deal with catastrophic flooding. operations of one of the country's biggest ports are affected, plus synagogue comes up with
