takeover is really soldiers injure hundreds of palestinian protesters, asked tension escalades over attacks by israeli settlers lift off from a tropical rain forest to the edge of china itself and the world's most powerful space telescope glass solved scientists hold, it'll give us a glimpse of how the universe looked billions of years ago. ah, thank you very much for joining us. human weiss groups are accusing me and mars military of committing a massacre. as is had done to fight and offensive against rebel forces, they charge remains of 30 people have been found in kaya state. witnesses say civilians including women and children, were rounded up and shot dead. the save the children charity says 2 of its staff are missing in the area. thousands have been fleeing attacks and air strikes along the border with thailand or let's speak to tony chang about this is joining us live

from bangkok in neighboring thailand. tony, what more do we know 1st about these bodies that were discovered in kaya state? we understand from reports and villages that the attack kill with it. where the shootings actually happened on friday evening. but they said they couldn't get near the area, which is just outside most of the village in kaya state or in the south of me on my close to the border with thailand. and they said when they were able to get close, they found the, the burn house shells of several flat bed trucks with bodies inside their report. the elderly women and children being amongst those dead. as you mentioned, save the children, said 2 of their staff, missing their car. they were working in the area. they were on their way home for the holidays. the burns, how it car has been found nearby. and i think they're very concerned for those 2

members of stuff. and consequently they've suspended operations in many of these board areas where fighting is ongoing at the moon. this is an area which has been seen a lot of fighting over the last 6 months. we've seen major military offences in the capital of kaya stage, like goal. and it seems to be part of a push, which is going on. why precisely this push, i mean, this conflict between rebels in that area and to me and more military has been ongoing for some time. now. why has it intensified in recent weeks? it has, well this is the, the 2nd this is really intensive fighting was saying along the type borders moved in the last couple of those. we've been reporting on fighting in korean state closer to the title of mess up yesterday that spilled over across the board with the tie authorities reporting 15 on hillary shells coming over the board,

destroying one house, 5000 refugees have now said across the border and sheltering inside thailand, it seems that the military is pushing into these areas which over the last 6 months have seen a lot of people fleeing from the cities unwilling to accept the crew. but they were also believed to be sheltering. a lot of the members of the new g, the national unity government, which is effects of the government in excel, which has been established for the point when the military code can be overturned. as we approached the anniversary, the one year anniversary of that it seems the military and very keen to stamp down . there are 30 in these areas along the board with time and they traditionally don't have a lot of control. there are ethnic groups that operate relatively freely in these areas. and as the me m a military have tried to push and sees some of those dissidence, some of those members of that government. and so those ethnic groups for back and thousands and thousands of felons being caught in the crossfire. the title

authorities say they're expecting more to come studying across the borders as far as he intensifies. but at this stage, we're hearing reports of fighting ongoing of air strikes over night of the, from the military. so it seems they're not going to let off at any point in the future. thank you for that update. tony chang lives there in bangkok. tens of thousands of protesters have rallied in sudan, demanding the military leaf power, and calling for a transition to civilian role. security forces 5 tea gas while phone and internet services were shut down. it was the 10th major demonstration since the military takeover in october and protest say they won't back down mom advisory for some cotton. several groups of testers gathered in the outskirts of up to him on saturday afternoon before marching to where the city center, where the presidential policy is located. the law, not the shorter lease people are good now to new street to reject this military

doroty. and now the slogans are clear off, but yeah, no negotiations, no partnership, no bar one. the army is for the barracks, the militias do not rule us and we demand the hand over a full hour to civilians. we demand civilian democratic rule. but let's look a little fun to do. forcing the full test as city of course, security forces closed on the bridges leading to central cup to me. this, along with an unprecedented police presence in the street, made it difficult for the dumb places that balance. on one or 2 occasions, however, the crowd managed to get placed a few 100 meters away from the wall of the president of police. but they were soon dispersed. several went into the protest. this chanted slogans, calling and military leaders in the ruling 70 council, seed polish, the civilians demonstrated thomas to organize another day,

a protest on december 13th. they insist not that they will stop their rallies only when power is completely restored to civilian government. 100 funds. i've just come to him. he's really soldiers have injured more than 240 palestinian protesters in the town of port con, north of nablus. as according to the palestinian red crescent, security forces 5 t gas live ammunition and rubber coated steel, bullets tension has been escalating in the area since, and he really said i was shot dead by 2 palestinians on december 16th. hundreds of settlers attacked earlier this week to abraham has more from beth for him in the occupied westbank. there is a lot of increasing tension that's taking place in vertical and in our villages around the north of the occupied west bank, where pastoring is a saying that they've been left alone for themselves. and they've been organizing

local committees to try and send off the facts that have been on the rise lately. it's happening precinct ever since last week when the power in some policy and fight as a shot at and it's really settler's car and the killed one second there and injured others. and ever since then, the committee has been marching and trying to get to and the legal is really in sacramento, thomas that has been sold from circulars in 2005. but then 2nd as a blue tier and an open some sorts of a sensor the are. and this is the location read, the 2nd happening has been killed and is really sometimes i've been trying to get back to the whole mission. they wanted support from their political leadership to kind of have a 2nd and instead of it being and, and recognize out who 16 they didn't get. the ford things been launching

a series of prove this have been ending up going into palestinian villages and attacking palestinians. the least of which was also 2 days ago. mm. the cone of iris pandemic now, and airlines have been forced to cancel more flights because of star shortages. us airlines alone called offer further 900 flights on saturday. bringing the total number of cancellations globally to nearly $5000.00. the highly transmissible omicron variant has seen an increase in employee sickness. airlines are calling on government to reduce the length of cove in 19 quarantined to allow people to return to work. many u. s. hospitals don't have enough staff to deal with the huge surgeon infections about 70000 americans were in hospital with coven 19 as of friday. that figure is up about 50 percent from early november. but the number of people hospitalized with the on the con variant remains lower compared to other streams. health officials

have repeatedly warned the situation may worse and for tens of millions of unvaccinated americans, only cronies tooling a surge of cases across europe as well. france, italy and the u. k. have reported the highest number of cases since the pandemic began. andrew simmons reports exhausted french medical staff like last christmas. this intensive care units in law say, is struggling with the pressure the most seriously ill patients who haven't been vaccinated. like david supper this and then his wife esther says she thought she was going to be a widow a few days ago. david's grateful he still alive. you, caesar, caesar will say, he says if he'd been vaccinated, he wouldn't have been at this level of intensive care. while all the crawling infections seem to have a lower rate of hospitalization, the extreme increases in infection rates. we the sheer volume of cases are quickly

putting medics under pressure while frances breaking record. so 2 is italy. the u. k. has been running christmas day clinics to give vaccinations. the priority is on booster jabs the government's heavy reliance on vaccinations to try and quell the alma krohn. infection rates is in question. on christmas eve and reco daily figure of a $120000.00 was reached. and now the office of national statistics is morning. the one in 10 people in london may be infected with cove it in the coming days. oh, mass christmas. queen elizabeth assured people suffering in britain. they would be alone. this year though, her focus wasn't on cupboard. it was the death of her husband, prince philip, the duke of edinburgh. she expressed her grief on a personal level, talking of how she missed the man to whom she'd been married, the 73 years. christmas can be hard for those who have lost loved ones. this

year especially, i understand why that for me, in a month since the death of my beloved phillip, i have drawn great comfort from the warmth and affection and the many tribute she, his life in my egg. at 95 years of age, the queen takes a immense care to avoid any exposure to the virus. but for so many people, especially in london, that isn't the case. and the health services now warning, there's been a 40 percent increase in hospital admissions. this christmas is surreal for so many people living in the british capital, the government says that it's watching the data before making any decisions on heavier restrictions. that prediction of wanting 10 people here suffering from cove . it is a sobering statistic. the government may well introduce heavier restrictions, possibly before the new year. under simmons, how to 0 london,

india will begin administering over 900 vaccines to teenagers between the ages of 15 and 18 in january. the prime minister render mowdy also announced that health care and frontline workers will get booster jobs. the health ministry says more than 60 percent of adults have been fully vaccinated, while 90 percent have gotten one job. still ahead on al jazeera and drop in pakistan is getting worse, pushing millions to the brink of salvation passed between restoration and reconstruction. archaeologists are divided about an intervention at the acropolis. ah hello, thank you for joining in the rain risk is still there for us on sunday, across some of the golf. let's go over those details right now. all has to do with

this ribbon of cloud that could very well generate some showers. let's go for a closer look, try and pinpoint where this will be. and i also wanted to mention this risk when coming down from iraq shamal. so we'll see when gus in dawn to about 50 kilometers per hour, there are some of those showers could work into re add into bahrain into northern portions of cats. or these could be some foundry downpours, as while and temperatures in riyadh. well below the average of $22.00 degrees, thanks to that cloud cover. really putting a cap on things, lot of clouds and also showers working across the pockets. on the hor, at 16 degrees is $1.17. and off we go to turkey. those winds will be winding up through the boss 1st. about 50 kilometers per hour, is stumble, has a height of 14 degrees storms once again, bubbling up or round kinshasa into congo, or gab on southern portions of cameroon, lagos, exceptional heat at $36.00, pretty close to a record you may get there. so we'll keep tabs on that. also seen storms through

botswana, zimbabwe, eastern portions of south africa, cape town at 29 degrees, but prepare for your temperatures. are on the way down. that's it. see soon. ah. coveted beyond well taken without hesitation. fulton died for power defines our loud launch loop babies were doyle, i did it, not that your belgium is neglected. babies to death, beeble and power investigates, exposes, and questions the use and abuse of power around the globe on out there. ah

ah, welcome back. a recap of our top stories on al jazeera, human rights groups are accusing myanmar military of committing a massacre. a charred remains of 30 people have been found in kaya state. the save the children charity says 2 of his staff are missing in the area. security forces in sudan or fire t gas at protesters in the capital cartoon. tens of thousands rallied to call on the military to see out of politics. it was the 10th major demonstration since october, and the palestinian red crescent says is really forces of injured $240.00 protesters near nablus. security forces fired tear gas live ammunition and rubber coated seal bullets out the crowds. tensions been escalating since 2 palestinians killed and is really sadler on december 16th. 2 days of morning have been declared in brooklyn or

fossil after gunmen ambushed members of a government backed militia killing 41 civilian volunteers. it happened in the northern nor wrong province earlier. this week, the government under pressure over its handling of a 4 year rebellion in the desert region. rebel fighters in armed bandits have killed thousands of people in the sale region. at least 7 people have been killed by an explosion in the democratic republic of congo. the government says a suicide bomber targeted a restaurant in benny know cooper's game responsibility for the time for the area has been frequently congregated by rebels from the allied democratic forces. fairly well. when i went inside, i saw a movement, a motorcycle turned around. i heard buying and i lost control. i didn't know what was going on when i left the restaurant. that's when i learned that they had been people killed. i saw those alive and wounded being taken to the hospital. they've been emotional scenes in northern iraq after the bodies of 16 migraines who

returned home from france. family members gathered at the airport to received every means. the victims were among a group of people who drawn last month trying to reach britain, an aide called has filed a lawsuit against frank. ginger k. authorities accusing them of ignoring distress, called dozens of survivors of another thinking have arrived on the greek island of perils. at least 16 people drowned when their boat capsizing the j and c. late on friday. it's the 3rd such disaster in greek water is in as many days. officials say people smugglers increasingly using a dangerous sort from turkey to italy, which avoids heavily patrol areas around the j an island. petro molnar is the associate director of the refugee law law. but your university, she says, tragedies like these will become more frequent as immigration policy is haunted when these horrible tragedy is really are a symptom of some of the increasingly hard line, border enforcement policies that we've been tracking and seeing all around europe.

and indeed, the world, and unfortunately with increasing border enforcement and the way that you know, different contexts across the world are developing, people are sometimes forced to take more dangerous route. we're really talking about open water. and oftentimes people resort to having to take a small boat that is often overloaded with people, and these votes are not really made to carry large groups of people, for example. and also, you know, just the basic kind of navigation that is sometimes very difficult is very hard for people who are desperately seeking safety. really important for us to remember that, you know, this kind of sharp border enforcement that we're seeing all around europe in the book called it for to europe. it will not stop people from seeking safety. instead, it'll compel people to take more dangerous route to try and circumvent being captured by border forces. and at the end of the day, it's really more about thinking about the humanity of it all. we're talking about human beings that are losing their lives at sea. and instead it's incumbent upon

all of us to think about how we address the root causes that force people to migrate in the 1st place. a rescue ship that saved a 14014 migraines from the mediterranean sea has arrived at 1450. the migrants including miners and 2 new borns were stranded on board of the ocean viking ship for over a week. there were found on an inflatable boat off the coast of libya. russia has blocked the website of a prominent rice, close monitoring group, that tracks groups that track political arrests and provide legal aid to detainees . russian media reported that o v d info's website was banned because of a group's involvement in what it costs propaganda of terrorism and extremism. the blockage is part of moscow sweeping cracked down on descent. the organization is vowing to continue with its work. my pakistan's government is spending $14000000000.00 a year on projects to help the country adapt to climate change. but many in rural

areas say the money is not getting to them and they're struggling to survive. osama bin javits reports from cost on millions of capital migrate and water dries up and sudden park is fun. farmers and more districts film on their phones and the dry spells are becoming longer and the movements more frequent. it's a long off road track to get to their villages, with no government support people in the going stand region are trying to adapt to climate, the changes around them. for generations, people in animals here have used the same water source. these ponds retain rain water from surrounding hills. now some non government organizations are helping increase their water attention capacity. so when it rains, it lasts a few months. 48 reservoirs with some up to 800 feet deep, have helped more than 74000 people in this terrain. the in the earth trust says it's use corporate social responsibility funds from logical operations. and there's

no government assistance to provide water to villages. bonds like these have help people adapt to the changing climate, but they're still angry of the politicians who represent them saying they only come here for votes and basic services such as health, education and accessibility are still non existent activists. a big landowners are still underestimating the impact of climate change with killing the abductions common here. they say it's risky to raise their voice for basic rights. is that is school. we need school, hospitals, and roads. the most important necessity is water. and about a month this water will dry up and we'll have to travel far to get some children cry if the when we run out. and when pregnant women travel for water, many faint, and there's no nearby health facility. the lights become tougher here. as yearly rainfall has dwindled, a car says during the time of ancestors, water was plentiful, but now it runs out and many people are forced to migrate and then be delivered into you. you don't need to like 360. not even a road,

but we are desperate for the water for ourselves. and our jacqueline is minutes to say it's not possible to reach everyone is focused on is among the top 10 countries most vulnerable to climate change. focus on the cash strapped government says it's a victim of climate injustice. we estimated between $6.00 and $14000000000.00 a year that we have to spend because a forced application. it's not a choice. we have to be, we are forced to adapt to climate change. and these funds come come out of our practice out of help out of education, out of governance. so i think this is the area where the world needs to wake up because this injustice cannot continue with some help. people are adapting, harnessing solar energy has meant there's been diverse migration in some villages. having electricity is like a medical for the, with the family. they can finally book after daylight hours. and we have

electricity now and the children can study. but we still have no water or gas, so we have to carry water on our heads. but despite all this, some of our villages have returned as there is electricity. here. small scalable projects can be adapted for larger communities if there's political will and money . but focus on what challenges are complex, multifaceted and time is running out to address them from a majority to their correspond southern pakistan. the volcanic eruption on the spanish island of la palmer is officially over after more than 3 months of daily explosions. the declaration was made following 10 days of low level activity from the country. you have ok now destroyed around $3000.00 buildings and damage vital from irrigation systems on the islands. now, the largest and most powerful space telescope ever built has been launched into space from south america. scientists hope the james web telescope will help humans

better understand the formation of stars and galaxies that are over 13000000000 years old. by no rapid report from the launch side in crew infringe kiana get caught. it's the space mission 25 years in the making. the the launch of the genes web space telescope, the largest and most powerful space observatory ever build, is one for the history books. me as successor to the celebrated hubble mission. scientists say the technology aboard the spacecraft, promises answers to questions. we haven't even thought yet of asking. in my dreams and my hopes i see eng signatures in monetary atmospheres away from our solar system that could hand to the presence of life will be one of the most important discoveries ever using an enormous gold plated near 6 and

a half meters across and instruments that operate in the infrared spectrum, the web telescope seeks to lift the veil on cosmic realms that in the past were too distant or too cold for any previous telescope to detect. web is a marvel of human ingenuity made possible through the dedicated efforts of thousands of scientists and engineers, and the close partnerships between more than a dozen countries. the politics, of course, are always there, but there's a scientist which, you know, sense try to rise above that and say what, what can we achieve together as a common goal scientifically. and that's how we can achieve so much more together by pulling our results is pulling our expertise. but always with one goal in mind, let's do the most challenging things that are possible. 20 seconds in the flight. the web launch was carried out by the private space firm ariano space, a top ari and 5 rocket specially suited for this particular mission. deed, ions 5 as been chosen you to it's reliability. it's like we called but there. so

it's capacity to performance. the very specific volume we can accommodate and also ferrying so 20 years ago in the early 2000. it was decided that web we belonged by i. and while celebrations are underway, following the successful launch of the james web space telescope, it'll still be a nail biting 30 days before it reaches its orbit. now on its way to its orbit at a location known as lagrange point to some one and a half 1000000 kilometers from earth. web is on course to redefine astronomy and begin to unfold the mysteries of our universe. manuel rap, hello al jazeera carew. french guiana. greece is bound to restore a grand entrance to the acropolis in athens, but that's causing controversy. among some archaeologists, john strapless explains to enter the acropolis in athens,

visitors zigzag up this ramp built in the 1950s. greece as it is now, going to give them the experience athenians enjoyed 25 centuries ago when they came to worship their patron goddess athena. a grand staircase, 25 meters wide envisioned as part of the gateway to the acropolis and reimagined by artists for centuries. the peloponnesian war between athens and sputter interrupted its completion. but the men in charge of restoration on the acropolis as rebuilding, it would be a celebration of the democracy, but conceived it with the establishment of democracy. the number of citizens was 10000 and all of them had to participate to the festival. it was a duty for thee and since citizens, their participation and tear therefore they had seriously and substantially

to widen, to increase. they wait, sir, of the ramp. and finally, to create the staircase, what dictated the width of the staircase was the width of the entrance to the acropolis behind me. built 25 centuries ago. it was designed to allow at least $10000.00 athenians and dozens of sacrificial oxen on to the open space around the temple of athena, where a great sacrifice would take place each year. chorus intends to open up this gate house so that all 5 of its doorways can be used. but some archaeologists say rebuilding the staircase crosses a line from restoration to reconstruction. or you gonna get these from there though . i don't say that we should necessarily preserve the zigzag ramp, but this is not a decision of one person. there needs to be a wider discussion. it's a huge intervention. or even if we had all the original material that we don't have the right to do it on such a scale, then in and get us get plenty of new marble has been inserted into the buildings of

the acropolis as part of a 40 year restoration project. including in the gate house who's restoration, daniela's oversaw. it's a compromise between 2 schools of thought. conservationists believe in preserving the historical record interventionists would rebuild the temple of athena to its classical glory. and it is that high classical period that tourists come to mark and celebrate to day. so it would appear that got us is merely giving the greeks and the world's visitors what they want. but critics say his view favors some parts of the archaeological record over others. jumps are hopeless. al jazeera evans. ah, hello again. i'm fully battle with the headlines on al jazeera, human rights grocer, accusing man mars military of committing a massacre as it intensifies an offensive against treble forces. the charred

remains are 30 people have been found in kaya states. tony chang has more from bangkok. it seems that the mere ma military is pushing it.
