u. s. states in what's being described as an unimaginable tragedy. britain hose, the g 7 top diplomat, is telling them to stand up against global aggressors, as they discussed. russia's military buildup on ukraine's border drones president says he's serious about reviving the nuclear deal, but insist your sanctions must go 1st and showcasing the culture that brings britain and the caribbean london. life between islands, exhibition celebrates artist in that full trail of a remarkable history. and i'm found a how much with sport read both mac 1st stop and take full position for season finale in abu dhabi and plus the fireworks here as the fever have come as egypt to book a spot in the semi finals beating jordan in extra time. ah,

ah, welcome to the news unimaginable tragedy. the words of us president joe biden describing tornadoes and severe storms that have torn through 6 us states. he's rushing federal assistance to the worst hit places like kentucky, where the governor affairs, more than 70, have died in the state alone country lopez, her doing reports. the devastation is overwhelming. the town of mayfield and kentucky is now unrecognizable. latan eto has left buildings flattened destroying everything and its path. dozens of people possibly up to a 100 or fear dead. you say parts of industrial buildings roofs, or sightings, entries the trees are lucky enough to stand. huge metal polls then and half, if not broken, buildings that are no longer there, huge trucks that have been picked up and thrown,

and satellite bar to many homes. the people were likely and entirely devastated in southern illinois in the roof of an amazon warehouse, partially collapse trapping, dozens of workers. their families desperately waited for updates. he was returning to the warehouse to drop it off. and i haven't heard from him since i'm worried sick. i just want to know if he's okay, we can't get a hold of anybody. no managers, nothing. i. we have no idea what's going on. as well as kentucky and illinois. several storms and tornadoes, great through other states. now damage is also being assessed in mississippi, tennessee, missouri, and arkansas. everyone's canada painting on the phones, the alert. yeah. and they got down there. 15 minutes were storm hit. the said it sounded loud, you know, deafening, almost most of the tornado hid overnight,

their speed and proximity hidden by the darkness and heavy rain forecasters predict more extreme weather may strike over the weekend with potential storms. heading east cars here. little bits of the young al jazeera, because i would say patrick layla correspondent in washington d. c. bureau. patty. we expect tornadoes in the u. s. but not at this time of the year. exactly. there's a to basically a tornado season, just like there's a hurricane season. and that's where if you live in those states that are tornado alley, you keep i and the weather you, you, you're aware of the trends and you make sure that you've got all your, your alert set. this doesn't really happen in december. it's supposed to be in the spring in the summer, so here would be from like march and april to june, july. so it's a very unusual that it would happen in december. it's also unusual just how big of a storm it was and how powerful of the storm was. normally tornadoes, as you know, they touched down, they stand the ground a little bit, they go back up,

they come back down. they serve bounce around with this. these tornadoes appeared to have just come down and stay down. and just in kentucky, a, we're talking about something like 300 kilometers of destruction because these tornadoes were so big and so severe and stayed down for so long. we don't have the exact rating yet, but if you look at the extent of this damage, the fact that concrete walls in factories could just be leveled. that's probably going to be at least an e f for. busy possibly an f 5. so we're talking about the strongest kind of tornadoes that you can get. now it, the fortunate thing here is it didn't happen in the wee morning hours, but people were asleep. that's usually when you see the highest death toll, but this is an extremely high death toll for a tornado outbreak that where people had so much warning. so it does seem like this was just going to be incredibly powerful storm science is still trying to figure it out. they have to go out and confirm exactly what that it was a tornado and a how powerful it was. but the image is you're seeing the video is just absolute

stunning. an entire town in kentucky has since gone a day. it has about $10000.00 residents. and now we're starting to see more and more social media of all the tornadoes that wipe through the air. and they think there maybe we're as many as 30, so highly unusual storm. not just because it's december when it's supposed to be cold and you're as possible to have the ingredients to make a tornado. but because of how severe it was, how it traveled. so really scientist sitting here and be studying this one for quite a while. the station is extreme. indeed, patsy. where are we in terms of the rescue recovery operation because obviously the state governors have been requesting help. they do have it federally, but of course it has to reach the are well, the group, the various ground zeros that we're experiencing. and we've heard from, for example, the fire chief in the police chief in mayfield. they lost their facilities. so they're trying to figure out exactly where their equipment is, what's still working. we do know that the national guard guard has been called

kentucky, and they're going to call up more national guard to supplement them. and then the federal response, the president joe biden has said he is going to send fema into the area. and this is where tornadoes get a little bit more complicated than not say, a hurricane where you have lots of notice that's when fema says, okay, we think the hurricane is going to go through here. so they put all of their equipment right there. so then they can just search it into the area. so right now, fema has things like trailers and heavy machinery, water food, things like that station throughout the country. now the focus is going to be on getting those, getting those on trucks, getting those to the area. big part of the problem is going to be how many of the highways were damaged were seen semi after. so that was just the semi truck that was just rolled over and so the, some of the roads might be blocked, getting there. the biggest concern is going to be search and rescue in the 1st couple of days. that's when the national guard comes in really handy, they go door to door, they listened to see if anybody's trapped at any of that rubble. and then they can sort of start to account for everyone who is in the town,

but then they're going to need, it's going to get real cold in those areas. they're going to need trailers to live and they're going to need potable water. they're going to need self cell towers. the government brings and cell towers because we, as you heard the story, the woman said she was having trouble contacting people. and a lot of these tornadoes, the cell tower simply get wiped out. so the federal government will move in, the president has said it's going to be quick, but these things do take time. so focused now and just seeing if there are any more survivors. the governor of kentucky was pretty shaken up. and he said that when it came to that candle factory, with a 110 people in it, he especially as many of 70 people, possibly a 100 out of that 100 tend to be that political hand, thanks very much for the update. the top diplomat from g 7 countries have been asked to show unity against global aggressive as they met in the british city of liverpool. russia in particular, has been singled up by the us and britain for messing troops on ukraine's border. but finding consensus amongst allies may be difficult from liverpool,

re challenge reports. prisons, foreign secretary welcomed her richwell counterparts with a broad band and cobit conscious fist bumps the u. k. the u. s. canada, germany, france, italy, japan. the g 7 is a club of advanced economy democracies and their friends. and these meetings are a chance for them to affirm both what they're for and what they're against. we need to defend ourselves against the growing threats from hostile actors. and we need to come together strongly to stand up to aggressors who are seeking to limit the bounds of freedom and democracy. have all their perceived threats, coven, china, iran, and more. it's massive, russia that is seen as the hottest issue with russian troops massed on the other side of the ukrainian border. that's clear. alarm from western democracies about

the possibility of an invasion. what we have to do is deter russia from taking the course of action. i've been very clear, it would be a strategic mistake for russia to do that. and what the g 7 meeting this weekend, the taking place is about is about a show of unity between like minded major economies. liz trust is rallying cry for what she calls the free. well, just like minded countries should step up that should unify that stop the introspection and drift and push back against perceived, aggressive russia and china. and they should do this using economics and technology . but germany is no stream to gas pipeline project with russia is an example that true unity can be elusive. germany's the green party, foreign minister, and alina bad book, is against it. social democrat boss, chancellor schultz, is for it. and germany is not yet agreeing to threaten russia as the us and

u. k. would like with blocking north stream to invade to ukraine, uniting the free world is easier said than done. re tell him how does era livable in the us ascending its leading diplomat for europe to russia and ukraine. karen don freed will meet senior officials in kevin moscow over 2 days. apart from the rest of the troop filled up, the state department says don't read will also push the progress on ending the conflict in eastern ukraine, european governments. they say tough balancing between pressuring russia about ukraine and meeting their energy needs. the european union bonds about 40 percent of its natural gas from russia. the biggest customer is germany followed by italy and then austria. for years, most of the gas went through ukraine, adding it billions of dollars in transit revenue. now rushes accused of punitive li, bypassing ukraine. for example, the almost complete nord stream to pipeline which will deliver additional gas directly from russia to germany. well, my, to a salon,

a is an international oil economist. he says, no stream to says europe will only become more dependent on russian gas as all those being a contentious issue and controversy in the united states never accepted the concept of the slim too. but whether it likes it or not, it's a complete it. it has been computing and it says when working for the last 3 months for certification or granting it operation, i licensed by the germans afterwards by the europe. yes, you can say they cannot satisfy their needs except from russia. for instance, the americans can supply them with various williams and g. i get the same with that. it will not be as she, nor,

as good as the russian white guys, russia has with the persian share of your market european market. and if you only care about b a, the huge needs of european union. so whether they like it or not, they will have that phone, russia, then they will shoot out of this with present abraham racy, says iran is serious about the latest round of negotiations to revive the 2015 nuclear deal. and if will pause, a willing to remove sanctions and agreement can be reached. se, television report, those comments, the talk go on in vienna. now head of the international atomic energy agency has been speaking to our correspondent dosage of our in vienna. rafael grossi, alkali, the contentious issues under discussion. while it was a wide ranging discussion, we specifically talks about the role of the i, e a. but then we of course,

talked about the j. c, t o, a and roughly grossi was very much adamant that it is a deal that is very, very important and critical for their work. they are not involved in the politics of this nuclear deal. they just want to verify what has been agreed to. he also talks about the issues that remain with iran. he admitted that iran is one of the, the country that has the most inspections of his nuclear program in the world. but despite that, he said there are still issues that they are discussing with iran. and that is a cause for concern for the i e a. and this is what he had to say about that specific those issues the agency and iran are trying to come to an agreement on or basically 2 things. one is the capability or the ability of the agency to return to one facility, one specific facility in iran, where we need to reinstall cameras that need to be there. and it has been difficult

to do this. so we have been talking about this and the other thing is how to address a number of issues which need to be clarified. the agency found traces of nuclear material in places that had not been declared before they facility he's talking about. there is cat shuts out just outside of her on it's a workshop that produce a centrifuges for wrong nuclear program. and the reason said that the b, i. e, a had 4 cameras in that facility. and in june, there was an act of sabotage which destroyed one of those cameras and they blame israel for that. they said at that time that they are going to take all 4 cameras offline until there is a new investigation. and there is some kind of a statement issued by the united nations and the until that happens, the revenues are not willing to open up. again, inspections to that workshop. and the director general mentioned that this is one of the points of contention because they cannot determine what is happening in the

wrong nuclear program. if they don't know where the central features are going and how many are actually be made. and you can watch dosage of ari salenti with the i. e h e raphael grossi and talked to al jazeera at 830 gmc on sunday. coming up on the news. if china, spying on its neighbors, were trying to say no, but the philippines and others all worried the full story coming up. and we look at why some groups in one south african province at pushing the independence. the strategy is cricket is complete, and then fasick victory over the old rival england rabbit said cameron green with awe serving protest as hoping backup blocking roads for a 3rd. we can running denouncing plans for lithium mining. saturdays crowns are smaller than we sent to the government earlier about some demands its crap laws. the activists were purely designed to help mining giant re attentive stop

opperation since the west from belgrade on which before men international hires that you see behind me has been blocked. 3rd, starting in a row, and this part that goes to sort of b as capital belgrade is actually one of the couple of dozen points. the professors are blocking the least very moment across the 3rd, b, r. for an hour. this road blocks are taking place, although the serbian government met the main demands of the last week brought this and decided to reconsider. do key lows that are helping mining giant or you're going to lunch lead deal mine in west serbia. but some n g o z and some political opposition parties claim that mean the mom has not been fulfilled to reopen is banned from mining leave. do you mean serbia for a good? that's fans also for any company. not just real simple. little background is that

company or your team to discover the mineral called your daddy's in the valley or for either of you either in 2004 mean or the dotted contains lead you that when use for electric car batteries. so the commercial interest is clear and big, but local citizens as well as green activists, afraid dot lead your mining good, irreversibly pollute the area. and that is the main reason that they said they are protesting or so it should be said that these brought this are widely seen as a big blow to president's wooldridge sir. be on progressive party, the ruling party in serbia, a head of the parliamentary elections that are scheduled for the april next year. the philippine says it seriously concern by allegations that it's one of several countries being spied on by china. beijing has denied being involved and state sponsored espionage campaigns. the u. s. based research group, st. malaysia,

philippines of vietnam were also amongst the targets to well, alan bergen housman from manila, the south china seas. territorial dispute is seen as the next security flash point in asia. beijing's illegal reclamation and growing military expansion have angered other claimant countries like indonesia, vietnam, and the philippines, who are the q split of blatantly violating international law. but china's dance accused once again, this time by a global research group, which says it found evidence that the chinese government may be sponsoring espionage operations on several governments across se, asia. the group recorded future says it's been able to identify what it describes as 400 online servers located in southeast asia. communicating with an online infrastructure connected to chinese state sponsored actors by using

a custom malware to attack governments and private organisation websites in the region. among the targets are malaysia's ministry of defense and the royal melisha police, as well as vietnam's ministry of environment and central office of the communist party. also described as victims of cyber intrusions or the philippine navy. the department of foreign affairs in manila and the presidential management staff, recorded future says all those countries may be vulnerable to china's intelligence gathering operations. seriously. and this gives us of situational awareness. we have measures in place to ensure our security, the security of our vital systems signer is dismissing the report as politically motivated to go find the chain that opposes and prox down a little kind of parker at that. in accordance with the law,

one is pushy shown. this all is clear if at the same time be firmly opposed to spreading false information for political purposes, what misleading the international community and instigating the relationship between other countries. the response to cyber attacks, the analysts say, should be regional too slow, asked me don't have the regional green work on securing our cybersecurity. definitely china with big advantage, one diesel nurse with of each one i see or should the forge a stronger cybersecurity boost and bake will be shown to walk home from foreign restless. this by china's denials their research highlights beijing's growing strategic interests in government and private organizations across se asia, and warrants that the cyber attacks are likely to increase in line with growing political tensions. over control of this south china sea,

jamal alan dorgan al jazeera manila, which is stephen, is the chief research on the list of id harvester, cybersecurity industrial analysis group. jones me now by scott from birmingham in michigan goods have with us mr. steven on the program. exploiting a security weakness his pants, the name of the game and hopkins are getting cleverer and wiser about how and where to find a vulnerable weak point. absolutely, and of course, intelligence agencies have take advantage of the weakness in their adversaries of it's, it's their duty. you would say to collect the intelligence that they're asked to get and of course are going to and i don't know of a single country that wouldn't do that if given the resources to do so. just for our audience as well. i mean, when we're talking about hacking and it's a new story, we tend to think, i'll just give a quick example of things that happened this year. colonial pipeline in the u. s. toronto transit system in canada,

microsoft exchanges in the us bank. okay. always in thailand, the national treasury in brazil, toshiba in japan, and the national college of island in dublin. it is very varied. is it all about money, or is it about these hackers getting a kick? yes, so there is always each of those realms hackers getting a kick though the face web page. today, of course, things like the colonial pipeline were financially motivated with ransomware. and then we always set aside the destro espionage and political espionage. the russia, china, and the united states are well known for separate because they're usually more sophisticated and they're usually not damaging. sometimes they are extremely damaging and the repercussions to scramble to patch things like the russian solar winds attack here in mostly the united states. well, the china does is, is classic, you know, well orchestrated espinoza's campaigns against, you know,

influential. ready government agencies military's in the region of their sphere of influence that are most interested in the diplomatic speak. we hear so far is that it's always china and russia yet. it's always very hard apparently, to track where hackers ah, why is it so hard to trace the exact source? yeah, the attribution is one of the hardest things to do. but, you know, quite often you look at the motivation, you know, who would be interested in checking, you know, backing into south vietnam where the philippines or indonesia, malaysia, what information are they, after, etc. and then they're telltale signals they leave behind and the actual tools that they use in an over time. companies like recorded future can draw instances that indicate, you know, this is probably china, right. it could be time of day of the command and control activity going on and could be local time. beijing,

it could be the character sets they actually use in their comments inside their code love and then basically reuse of code that was used in previous things were attributed to china and this case, can this ever be stopped if we have the intelligence to hack companies individuals, governments under system, surely the intelligence and the education is out there to stop this as well. yeah, i'm a big believer that you know, any individual organization could stop this from happening to them to the point where the adversary would have to, you know, bribe insiders or hold somebody hostage, you know, but you can't, you can't take the cyber side of it into the physical realm as easily, but in general contexts can the world stop it? well, they'd all have to get together and agree not to do it. and i don't see that happening in the current environment. it's good to even side. thanks very much for your time,

richard steen, and that's mighty harvest 20th from birmingham in michigan. thank you. my pleasure . tight rules on gun ownership in indian administered cush may have pushed traditional firearms manufacturers to the brink of closure. only 2 factories remain open in the region, which used to be a thriving hub for hunting rifles. let's. the parent explains. nasdaq, missouri was one of just 7 gunsmith left and indeed administered kush meat. he works and this fact we started by his father in 1953 when cush me the guns were famous for the workmanship. they were mostly bought for hunting and sometimes self defense. but decades of violence in the region led to the indian government, limiting the number of guns manufacturers are allowed to produce and more recently, ban on new licenses being issued to gun owners. if there's more than 25 workers were employed in this factory. but now that we hardly make new guns when most people come for repairs,

our children are willing to carry forward the family legacy because there's hardly any money in the trade. as used by the federal oaks as trademark wooden bots, like this made cush, midi guns, famous overseas junction. just it takes 10 to 15 days to make a gun gun making needs a great deal of experience. most of it is handmaid, the rifle, but is made of walnut wood with a fine finish and looks and beautiful historians say the once thriving industry has become another casualty of worsening security in the region. dr. turner, why get you to uncertain situation here? gun me goes, have come under tremendous scrutiny. you were, they were subjected to, jackson had his men by the authorities. they got scared. and as the armed conflict raged, they abandoned their profession. the violence has led to the decline of many traditional role kitchens in the push me ready shall have athletics one of hundreds of workers who have lost their job. he now makes electrical equipment for a living. i thank you. i got around. got it for generations. my family was making

guns in this neighborhood, there were 15 factories and all of the men here used to work in these factories. 13 of closed because of stick to rules. so i had to open this workshop to provide for my family, then making as in my blood and it will never die as either with on one of the last 2 factories and is asking the government to lift its ban on gun licenses. or that is i reward of this trade is dying every passing day. the government's excuses that the security situation in the region is not good. but what have you got to do with that? the guns manufactured here have never been misused. they are useful hunting and not for what are god forbid for any militant activities. as the 0 brothers put the finishing touches on their guns, they say they hope they won't become the last of the regions gunsmith, elizabeth per annum al jazeera, new delhi will still had here on the news on the hunt for rebels hiding in the congo forest. but they are the only ones to fail. the arrival of soldiers from not

right across the country. temperatures pretty well where they should be off to turkey and we've had some rounds of storms. here comes the next one on sunday, stretching along that west coast of turkey. want to show you a flooding situation right now in south sudan, nearly a 1000000 people impacted by this. and it could take over a decade for these flood waters to fully receipt that it is about the heeds through a jew by 40 degrees bungie at 36. and we go further toward the south. we'll trace out some that what, whether through southern angola through botswana, and it's really once again that eastern portion of south africa and for cape town, 20 degrees that's below average. and we've got some brain risks as we had to work monday. caea. ah, stories of determination and joy ah, with gina you have you make a good listening v. i don't get
