a change on al jazeera, gotta one of the fastest growing nations in the world, won the cause of needed to open and development school track international shipping company to become a p middle east and tried and wanting skillfully knocked down 3 key areas of development. who filling up from it, so connecting the world, connecting the future. while the cato causes gateway to whoa trade. lou ah, hello again, adrian and again here in doha with the news, al from al jazeera,

the headlines. you k prime it is devoris johnson has confirmed the 1st death from the new cove at 19 omicron variant, the u case health secretary says that at least 20 percent of new infections in england a caused my alma called. kentucky's governor says that 64 people are confirmed to have died and fridays tornadoes. more than a 100 people are still unaccounted for us. president joe biden has declared an emergency in the state of plans to travel there on wednesday. security forces in sudan of use tear gas to disperse, protest is in the capitol. the demonstrators are against last one steel with the military, which saw the prime minister reinstated. returning down to the pandemic, it can evolve lots of phone calls. an awkward questions contact tracing is a laborious task for any one to have to go through. south korea is planning to make the process more efficient by handing the work over to machines, a pilot project and boot chun will use artificial intelligence and facial

recognition software to comb through a large amount of video footage. that video will come from daily $11000.00 security cameras scattered across the city. it used to, it will, it will be used to track an infected person's movements, as well as any close contacts. officials hope that it will reduce the strain on an overworked, tracing team. in the densely populated city will aiden white is an information ethics specialist who thinks this could be a powerful tool for public health officials. but a dangerous one in the wrong hands. think his just the capacity as quickly as possible to alert other people to the potential dangers that they may face in terms of infection and also to the people themselves that you know that they themselves might be at risk or maybe putting others at risk. i think using the technology in this way, if it can speed up and make more efficient contact tracing so much better. of course it's absolutely right. we have to be very careful about making sure this

technology is not news but nefarious purposes. and i think that's right, i think that's why there needs to be safeguarding, in terms of public policy and monitoring of how this technology is used. and i think relying on the goodwill of national governments. and they said in this area is not always going to work. so i think that's one of the reasons why the nice need to be more international standards applied on how this sort of technology is use time limitations on how long the technology can be used for guarantees to the public that the information is gathered will. once it's no longer necessary to hold, it would be destroyed. i mean, i think this is an area where in the interest of privacy and wider public security issues do need to be international standards imposed. i absolutely agree in the hands of some governments, this sort of technology can only lead to oppression of the population in general.

and that will never be a good thing. francis president, money on mccarthy says that he's willing to work together for europe with hungary despite the countries differences. he struck a conciliatory tone in budapest where he's held talks with hungary as prime minister victor or ben who spoke of his respect for france. they've been at odds of issues including l g, b t writes the rule of law and democratic standards come say to d n at the mall. and even to me, the concept of europe has always been an endurance about countries, a feeling of respect for each other. and the prime minister has said indeed, there are well known differences of opinion at the political level between us. we loyal partners and we are pro europeans. that's bringing out here in barbara, who's in budapest. nadine, what is president cron hoping to achieve? well, macaroni is here after touring other european capitals ahead of france taking on

the 6 month presidency of the you. in january, you put here, there are a lot of concerns, a lot of questions if you like about whether there was any common ground in facts, right at the start of the day at the joint press conference, president macro and prime minister or been both stress that they wanted to see a strength and europe, a more powerful european, acting in the world. and victor all been specified a few areas where budapest does c i to i with paris, one of the was on energy policy. he said both men agreed to fight climate crisis. and move away from fossil fuels that needs to be more nuclear energy. they're calling it a green, a solution. they also talked about defense. they want to see a common defense strategy adopted by the european union against a perceived threats of course, from states like russia. and victor robot and specified the need for europe to become self sufficient in its food supply. so boosting its agricultural sector in

the years to come. so those are the areas where there was agreements. interestingly enough, one of the areas where there's a lot of tension is over migration in refugees. but on that point to start with president mccomb did say that they did have a common belief that europe needs to strengthen its external borders. and in his words, stop migrant flows is that that will be music to the is of the prime minister. how hopeful then is president chronic getting anything given that hungary is notoriously at odds with you over things like human rights? well it's really tricky in of course the human rights issue is also a tied up with what some europe does to people arriving on its borders, seeking a solemn fleeing war zones. because just in the last few hours, e foreign ministers were meeting in brussels,

talking about that subject. and hungary for minister actually said that and hungry would not find acceptable. what ever new madness brussels was preparing. there's no detail on that policy, of course, but it just shows you how far apart they often are on the year and other issues such as the rule of law, a mac or met opposition leaders, including the joint candidate who is hoping to replace him in next year's elections and or that term, individual pet or much as i says that my co assured them that they would continue europe the you would continue to withhold recovery funds so long as there was corruption, as he put it here in hungary. and that's just the voice of the opposition, of course, were there are clear concerns over things like the rule of law, the free press, and l g b, t, right here and hungry, which president mac hone behind the scenes, or was expected to discuss, but not expecting any major announcements almost out there that he bubble live in

budapest, many thanks and 8 that he it's considered to be one of the most important wetlands in the world. daniella national park in southern spain is a unesco world heritage site. had a refuge for migrating birds and endangered animals, but as natasha can aim reports now the park is suffering from years of water theft by farmers. and now a drought with every season a different diana emerges. scenes 57 year old national park is nature's tableau of wetlands beaches dunes and pine forest ecosystems scientists called the wetlands one of the most important on the planet. yet these days it's the dry season year round at this unesco world heritage site. you can see that it is nothing an integral to state now because they know what the so old a species are finding my son and visit those which should be

a for thick that in the say that half or so if grown and here they are in children, 3000 seasonal pods used to dot the wetlands to day. there are less than $100.00. the world wildlife fund or w w. f says, this park is surrounded by 1600 hector's of illegal strawberry blueberry and raspberry farms. the farmers don't have a permit to use water from an aqua for, to irrigate their berries, to preserve the ecosystem. the w w f says the water theft must and, and farmers, residents, and tourists need to conserve water. 10 years of lower than average rainfall. and to dr declared last month, have exacerbated the water shortage. the farmers union in the province says barry farming provides 102000 jobs and instead of blaming them, frustrating water resources. the government should complete

a project to divert water from another basin. getting a 2nd demo comfortable with it yet, which i to load on the dental on you. we're fed up with the way we've been portrayed over many years. we've been dedicating our lives to this. if we want to leave something here so that it is completely compatible and so that our children can carry on doing this to restrict water use, the spanish government sealed illegal wells and purchase farm land around diana national park. we have to go together with a farmer, improved then by domains balconies. young. a super program. i new chevy still reviews wasn't go sancho. because i b m a here though yanna are in good health resources for them, for pharmacy in the future. for generations, the people and the park have co existed. if the future means less water, life may change for both. for the worst. natasha game l. j 0. well, the province spain, in the occupied westbank, palestinians are turning to renewable energy sources to get around tight is where

the restrictions on the land follow. trying to install solar panels on rooftops as need are abraham reports. this is the largest power planted the occupied bank. it has 20000 solar panels and is now generating electricity for 3 palestinian institutions, including this hospital and ramallah. before switching to solar energy hospital manager save a p $1000000.00 a year in electricity bills. for the past 2 years, that electricity has been free of charge knocked up in the solar panels are covering all of our needs over the tricity as a hospital. it's part of our social responsibility to use in the tricity that we're generating and, and reduced out dependency on israel and 90 percent of the electricity used in the occupied west bank is bought from israel. the rust comes from jordan and through renewable energy sources. local palestinian initiative aims to install more solar

panels in the west bank. could grease reliance on green energy from 6 percent to 70 percent? what is really restrictions are complicating this process. israel prevents palestinians from developing the majority of land in the west bank, installing solar panels and school rooftop was one way around it. with access to lands is not the only issue, even when electricity is generated. it's not easy to transmitted from one location to another, palestine on the operates on low, low voltage and medium voltage grids. we don't have any transmission network that would enable us to do large scale projects. so we had to size this project, both in terms of availability of land and the capacity of the grid to carry and evacuate the power produced here. tens of thousands of past indians live off the grid. international organizations provided them with solar panels. now they are the only source of power. it's hardly enough to generate electricity for basic needs

and only operate during sunlight. even though the electrical grid is meters away by the wind communities here cannot benefit from it. it's part of these radio electricity network and serves the illegal israeli settlements in the area. well, the palestinian energy authority says investment in solar energy is relatively new and it's still way down by bureaucracy. there is a gab of coordination between these institutions that been established in the law that slowing down the process and the career kind of bureaucratic procedures in a place where the sun shines more than 320 days a year. solar panels could solve the electricity problem. but it is the israeli occupation that's preventing the palestinian gold of energy self reliance. need abraham elijah's eda be occupied westbank denominations for this. she has golden

globe awards have been announced and los angeles. the show typically attracts film and television stars, rivaled only by the oscars, but controversy about the organization has sent the stage for a celebrity no show this year. the golden globes are put on by the hollywood foreign press association, which is made up of foreign journalists to report on the entertainment industry. this year. the los angeles times uncovered unethical behavior and lack of diversity among its golden globe voting members. actors, studios, and broadcasters are boycotting the event to martin overhaul the hollywood foreign press association. it says, sit on. it's already done this, including inducting 6 black journalists. but the industry is skeptical. i think there is no question about the fact that the golden globes have been around for decades and they made no attempt to diversify. they had 0 black members out of their 87 member panel. and so they, they were not nominating black films and nomes with black and brown people in them

. there's no question about it. it's been not a secret. it's been an open discussion for a long time and they made no changes until powerful industry entities like netflix from tom cruz and people with name started saying that this was unacceptable. and this happened because of some of the social change that we've seen over the last year since what was going on in 2020. so i think that this is definitely not an internal fix that they were making without the pressure that was coming external. i mean, historically we can go back to the montgomery bus boycott where boy cards actually work when people follow through. and when people actually do what they say they're going to do. so i absolutely believe that this can help in many different industries. boycott strikes, they actually work and it also works in the, in the,

in the, in the entertainment industry as well. coming up well that he is always fought with sela. yes, plenty on the way included in the champions league blunder at the droll for the round of 16. i'll have that and more live a from our special studio in doha. ah ah

ah whole ah ah, for thank you for joining us. we're alive, home, our special studio on doe has a water front. hello, i'm fine. how much?

plenty on the menu, including a redraw for the champions league, around of 16 fixtures. after technical mistake. i see united premier league game on tuesday is in bow off. the occur on a virus outbreak among players and staff. and red bull say they will fight any legal challenges lost by mercy to fully and mac 1st happens, 1st formula, one world championship and incredible era. at the drawer for the champions league, round of 16 european footballs governing body you ever were forced to redo the draw after it was compromised by technical mistake, but allow teams a to be drawn together incorrectly. as a result, the original droll was declared void and redone a few hours later, usaa says the software is provided by an external service. after the de, the external independent, auditory informed us that they could not guarantee that the problem with the id

system did not exist from the start. and as it is that is out there, food bill, it needs to be redone. there was a mistake that discount the thing sometimes happened and especially the football players in the managers. so sometimes a with a too old old. what is our god for people say no. does. it does openings better than the other one. whole of them in the stages, if you are difficult or this is what the round of 16 looks like after the redraw christiano. rinaldo, a majesty nighted had initially been drawn against by sal mom while they now play electrical madrid. as for p s g, they now face rail madrid, a spanish league leaders that were 1st drawn against ben feca. jagow can help it might feel a grave to as well. at liverpool had drawn a red ball salzburg, they now have to get past italian champions into milan. that has to be a degree of human element involved because the,

the software has to be programmed and the information has to be put into the computer for the computer itself to do the draw. so an element of human error, a lowest mistake on us, is positively they don't and apologize for the mistake, which is something that they've never previously done. but there will be unfortunate incidence of, of science. you've already booked flights for games that may have been cancelled and, and what's out so there will be clubs that will be disappointed. i think jake are talking to feel disappointed because they had a much easy jewel in 1st draw. so there is a whole lot from this and there will be clubs who will be disappointed, but so i think you, i will try and, and move on. and it comes to learn to say neither have closed down their training complex or following a current virus outbreak. among staff and plays in his statement, the club said that those who tested positive are isolating in accordance with leak

protocols. while man, you are now assessing whether it is still safe for tooth, its permanent game with brentwood, to go ahead and their delay that traveling to london for that much united opponents at brentford have had their own colon virus troubles defend eastern pen, is set to miss at least one more game, while striker, even tony, is now out of isolation and is expected to play if the game goes ahead. meanwhile, without them, i had to postpone the european fixture against then and the premier league my to with bryce and after a place. and 5 staff members tested the positives aston villa brighton are tightening their coven 19 protocols following outbreaks in their squads. red bull racing will fight any court orders a lot by mercy. this following march 1st happens 1st formula. one will title. there was hamilton had been leading the w call pre by 11 seconds,

but were stop and was able to catch up, often late safety, call the closest title rates in decades and came down to a final lapse sprint. a dutchman had the advantage of a new tires and came his maiden won't championship to protest from s b, this was dismissed by the formula, wants stewards. but the team say they will appeal to the world governing body of motor racing. yeah, i mean, this was my last go in from the one where i wanted to become a champion, you know, we had to petition labs, race when all of that. but this was the ultimate dream. and now we have achieved basically for me everything. what comes next is a bonus. what does come next to the max? this happened a few more years and form the one where i'm going to enjoy it. while we spoke to the press associations, f one correspondent philip duncan, he believed murphy. this have legitimate grounds to complain, but doesn't think the result will be overturned. they've now got my 6 hours from

last night, so about thursday evening to decide whether they want to actually appeal that stage then goes to the f i, hey, court. and he will decide whether they've got any, any legitimate reasons to do. so my feeling is, even if they do decide to to lodge a complaint, i think we might be able to overturn yesterday's decision. the madness that occurred wait and see as to whether mercedes motor to continue with their actions. chris, them with their action, i should say. and you know, they've got some out their own round their image where they might look like so lose if they, if they press on with, with an appeal and also lose some. so you, nobody really wants. when is a 12 championship in a cool? so lots, you know, we should be to really about extra step and this brilliant ducks, driver, $24.00 winning his 1st 4 championship. you know, all the talk. all the discussion at the moment is where the mercedes harrison's

team will will press on with an appeal. so stephanie taken a gloss off of his victory, but christian owner, the red fool seemed principal last night, said it and said to press on with their action that they are ready to ready to throw out it, ready to take money. cool. if that's where it gets to, i mean, hopefully doesn't, you know stuff and folksy personally, this year. so did house in and neither really to lose the truck and ship the stuff on yesterday. whether it was crazy circumstances, controversial circumstances. he was the man one. he was the man that won the championship, so you've got to feel a little bit to him. it's taken it loss of his of his 1st championship. you probably won't, can see much providing the results, dance. ah, the semi finals of the fif of our carpet here and cuts are coming up on wednesday. the torment is being used as a test for organizes ahead of the next year. the war cup. it is the 1st time it

will be played in the middle east. countries will be hoping home field advantage. it will produce a breakout torment for teams from the region and richardson reports the fans in familiar surroundings following players in a country and culture. they know, next years will come in cattle is unique chance the arab teams to feel at home on football is bigger stage, given properties for the month of culture. there's lots of lots of addictions that julian. that's right, that's right. so i think that's a different players like a female that may be really have to home with this kind of baby to have the fanbase, the hope all of them will be present. the next few years i woke up, now they open for them that they didn't get to put anything for them to practice and make sure that the audi next a record full arab teams were at the 2018 finals in russia. but none made it out of

the group and know our team has ever reached a world cup quarter. final. this time around though it will be less of a step into the unknown. the are familiar with the, with the rain and no matter what i mean there is a little bit of a psychological home field advantage are also having the problem. and i mean, logically, are always in business, and they're going to help a lot of the players envision, hopefully not only choice before is the torment being held outside of the americas or europe in 2002 south career and japan. co hosted the well, both themes minded out of that group and south korea got as far as the semi finals . and when the event went to africa for the 1st time in 2010, gonna got within a penalty kick at the last 4 kit. so as

a previously played in a well cup of the are asian champions and have competed as a guest team in a series of continental tournaments to prepare for the challenge. ahead. having followed the national team for a long time, no more than a decade. i think the mentality of the team is teach that they're ready to take on challenges. they're ready to face any team. and even if they've had some bad results over the last 2 years, i think they're the concord that feared factor on that, that ready and on there did, they can perform against any t. it's nearly time for our footballs. finest to answer the call of a world cup that will look and sound like no other. ah, andy richardson, algae 0, doha tassel is fought for now. but a quick recap of our top soy each hand. his eeg draw for the round of 16 has been re done that following a technical mistake. fit with us here on the al jazeera after the break. we've got another news update for you.
