a massacre. after dozens of burned bodies of fountain chi estate and spain's drain from rural areas, what the e u is doing to urgently re populate small towns. i'm devin ashworth sport. another game in the english premier lee gets perspiring to adjudicate 19 out of bringing the best of the action from a busy christmas day in the act. ah, the south african nobel peace prize winner jasmine to, to has died. he was 90 years old, appointed the 1st black archbishop of cape town, to to rose to prominence in the 1980s as a vocal opponent of apartheid. he used his pulpit in public demonstrations to energize opinion against racial inequity, both at home and abroad. south africa's president 0 rem, oppose

a lead the tributes calling to, to a patriot without equal and a leader of principle and pragmatism. it's actually very sad and i don't think not only for south africa, but for africa as a continent. we have lost a great icon, a father, a human who was, they not just fall, the they african peep, this african people. but for africa as, as a, as a nation, africa, as a unit, africa, as one. i feel i feel i feel very, very down emotional the right now because he was some somebody that almost everybody liked, especially the kids to love him. turn a howl. looks back at desmond to to life. ok. this is jasmine to, to hearing the news that nelson mandela would soon be released. he was seldom one

to contain his feelings. it just triggered me off this to twos responses, head of south africa, the truth and reconciliation commission on hearing details of atrocities committed by both sides. if not to mention, then we'll look at the black desmond and p low to to was born in a mining town outside johannesburg. at a time of strict segregation, things would get much worse. as he grew up to 2 was 17. when the national party came to power in 1948, racial inequality became law. apartheid. he wanted to be a doctor, but became a teacher instead witnessing 1st hand the government's policy of depriving black south africans of education, consigning them to servitude. and the protests that followed the like the sharp fil massacre. in 196069 people were killed and most of them were short in the best

as running away, protesting against the past. last, i remember as a moment when you realize that black life was cheap, the 22 must have thought he could do more in the church, he joined the clergy eventually obtaining high anglican office as dean of johannesburg and later archbishop of cape town, it propelled him into the public eye as an unflinching moral voice. why our struggle is way to succeed. he's lot just because of number to leave reg was because it is a josh by 984 desmond to to had one global admiration. he was awarded the nobel peace prize. it was the kind of recognition that south africa's anti

apartheid movement needed to become a global force for a very, very long time i. i did hope that the world would, would hear a plea. and that is why we were to apply sanctions. archbishop desmond tutu was one of the world's foremost human rights campaign. as an active member of the elders in the cause of world peace remembered as much for his unremitting optimism. an infectious laugh. when he introduced nelson mandela of south africa's new president in 1994 to 2 recalled that he whispered to god, if i die now, it would be almost the perfect moment. someone up there must really have been on our side or waiting for us. when mandela died, many worried that south africa had lost its moral compass. they may now wonder whether it's lost its guiding light. yes. jillian wolf ease in cape town and joins

us live now. gillian, you're outside the home of desmond to to what can you tell us about the significance in that area? that is correct. this area is about a 30 minute drive outside of cape town and it was a formerly white area under apart hide rule. that meant that black people were not allowed to live here, now does one to 2. after stepping down and retiring as archbishop came to live here for many decades off the 1990 s, and he was known very well by all of his neighbors. even i heard an anecdote earlier that he would pick up the litter across the street until he could not do that any more. now we know that he suffered for cancer for about 23 years, and it was a long, long battle. and sadly, this is the solution today, but we have seen a lot of people sharing their outpouring of support for desmond tutu today both in

cape town in the around or across south africa and online and around the world. here in the house behind me, we have some people coming to pay their respects. and i wanna talk now to someone that is a close friend of desmond to to that was with him today. when he died. she is a former mayor off cape town and a close friend patricia de lil. tell me how you are doing and how is south africa and the family of desmond to today dealing with this. i must say that mama leah as bishop to wife of 66. he is. she is being with eve until the last. she was lying next in this morning and as he was passing out, she was singing to him. she was holding you sand. and she is very, very courageous. woman of the family members are all year except one daughter that is coming from the netherlands. it takes 2 days. and i think everybody feel is seen

sophie eve all so because he has suffered that get a deal. you know, the last few weeks you've been and mostly on morphine and m. e. i very little. i and then in odd was very said to just seem going from to 4 eyes. i'm i arrived this morning at off by 6 to the leave doctor mom parallel that stayed over night the and off and now after that he he passed on. you were close with desmond to to you work together. you're both freedom fighters. he spoke very highly of you, of your ability to unify the people of south africa in such a divided nation. tell me what he meant to you and what you think that he meant to the people of south africa. you know, i just feel so honored and privilege that i was able to give back to archbishop wiley was still alive. you know, we tend to, when,

after the passing of somebody, we tend to want to do a lot of things and say, a lot of things. but as the city of cape town, we recognize seem as a free men of the city of cape town. but all so we decided that we need to find a building for him away. he can keep his legacy alive for generations to come and as the may yet we then donated a bullying to him, a to a 100 year old building. and that used to be all his legacy is now to further recognize the odds. we put up a mess of big picture on the, on the civic building of the city of cape town. and we also at the company gardens dad's a couple of 100 t as old and they enters we bolden arch for the arch. and from wood. and the in capture laid the 2030 am below provides but is in the below

flights human rights today that he fought for. so i'm happy that we were able to honor him while he was alive. but you know, there for me at was always and what admired about jim is that you always spoke to, to power during the days of our participate in our winter, every march that was leading, he spoke to the to power and even in our new democracy, he continued to speak truth to power. while i was still the mayor, we were planning a piece meeting for all the world laurie. it's to come to the city of cape town, going to be sponsored by the city. and then the government refuse sees the effort in the dalai lama a vi said to come as they men i saw archbishop for the 1st. i am very disappointed and very angry. in the end to remove the holy vin, to her own de may of her own off at 2 o'clock date as and this way i was able to

sit between the 2 good people, delila my and then archbishop teacher. so he's done, he's birch. he has had a good innings, very good innings. we mean many things to so many people. i mean, he was always that i'll to move up to miss. you know, you always says, i kept us hoping that things will change and a d change, you know, you, we used to say we went to see change in the lifetime. an arch used to play for that . so you said getting close to complete, but there are lots did we can celebrate about his life. thank you so much. a great loss to our country and lots to celebrate. and that is what he's going to be remembered as an iconic leader of the rainbow nation. what he came to know as to day. thank you. back to you, emily. thank you very much. jillian wolf live for us in cape town. south african

writer john allen, 1st met the light archbishop during the apartheid era. the 2 men became close friends and collaborators as one of the people who knew jasmine to, to best. he shared his memories with the al jazeera on john allen. i met desmond tutu as a reporter nearly 40 years ago. i went on later to become his pre secretary. and i've since written a biography of him called rabble rouser for peace. what really drove him to public prominence was his absolutely uncompromising, angry outspokenness against a party. at a time when most black south africans, especially lex, of africans, depended as a people he did. will he jobs or what employers couldn't voice the feelings to to voice the feelings for them? oh no. 7 1 in this country,

he expressed people's anger the killing of school children. but at the same time, he did this in such a compassionate and powerful way that he, that he calmed very angry and contested and over all the situation clearly unfinished business for him, it has been twofold. one is the enormous disparities the, the obscene disparities in this country and wealth which hostile arch la on racial lines. i think the 2nd and finished business would be the failure of whitefield african, the not all that many to actually take the hand that was offered. they might symbolically nelson mandela that also to to plenty morehead on this news hour,

including hundreds of palestinian protesters are injured in the occupied west bank as tension escalates over attacks by israeli st. louis. ah, the challenge is east africa face this year and whether there's the political will to make changes in 2022 and in sport green bay quarterback aaron rogers, breaks the packers record for the most touchdown passes. ah, the saudi led coalition in yemen is accusing the hu fees of using this santa airport to launch ballistic missiles during a press conference coalition spokesman turkey l. malik. he said a saudi arabia had been targeted by more than 400 ballistic missiles by the armed

group since the start of the fighting, the civil war began in september 2014 with the saudi led coalition intervening. 6 months later, the coalition attacked the senate airport earlier this week. hussein algebra katy is a political commentator and journalist. he says the who these are using santa airport to launch these missiles and that reads claims during, at up this allegation has been taken place in all believing get from saudi arabia. but they will not make any difference is really silly to see molly key in this press conference or talking about what he called outside enter vention for a part of he's from out famine like he said to his bola and iran. and we see on his back on the back we see flag of 12 country that are actually involved in a war, anal malika. he's and the defense. yeah. many defense minutes that i need as the leader of this old book versus this would you call it? and so what's actually a victim, the minute is the intervention of saudi out. a bad idea going on about talking

about that is that base just one or 2 kilometers south of that boat? isn't it a base? it's called a day let me base and they are sharing the same runway with both. so if those posted as he claim would have total, i mean they will be a full day let me base and i do think it will be very, very silly. so what it is about 24 hours monitoring for them. so the back voltage, it will be so silly for us on to leave only him to leave all areas inside them and to go use one final think we have seen that you have said that there are monitoring just last thing, the monitor in the whole these 24 hours. i mean on the other hand, a time that it drones, 400 balance that me 500 of both has belongs to again. so the idea what type of more monitoring in

hundreds of flat cancellations, continuing to stack up across the u. s. because of the current increase in code, the 910 cases, a line se only cron has had a huge impact on they staffing levels and lead to the cancellations increasing the backlog over the holiday period were join now from new york by gabriel. allas under . hello. they gave travel, cancellations, and delays. i continuing throughout the world, but particularly in the u. s. is there any idea when it might get better? well, it's probably going to be several days if not potentially weeks. that's because health officials here in the u. s. say that the army kron variant, probably won't peak in the u. s. until after the new year. maybe the 1st 2nd, even 3rd week of january. that's just a rough estimate. because the variant is certainly surging in many parts of the world, but particularly here in the us,

we're now going into date 3 of flight cancellations and delays because of staffing shortages at airlines all over the world. but particularly here in the u. s it's looking like on sunday, globally, according to flight aware, a tracking site. there are more than 2000 flight cancellations. many of them coming out of out of china, but about 30 to 40 percent out of the us. just on sunday it's looking like about 650 cancellations of flights in the u. s. so far, but the debt could increase as the day goes on. airlines are saying that this is because of staff shortages due to coven cases. not only pilots and flight attendants and ramp agents, and check in agents calling in sick. but even if they were exposed or think they were exposed to someone with cove, it, they have to corn, teen,

or isolate for 10 days, which means they can't go to work, which means they don't have enough staff to fly. this has been a continuing problem now, and it looks like it will go on for several more days, at least. and gabriel, in the us, there is no vaccine requirement to fly domestically because of all these cancellations. do you think that could change? well, the administration is certainly looking closely at that and there's certainly increased talk and pressure to consider that. and if you're coming into the u. s. internationally, you do have to show us that you've been vaccinated and a negative, a coven test, but domestically that's not the case. and president joe biden's, chief medical advisor was asked about potentially imposing a domestic vaccine mandate on domestic travel. air travel in the u. s. and this is

what he had to say on a sunday interview here in the us. vaccine requirements for people coming in from other countries is to prevent newly infected people from getting in to the country . a vaccine requirement for person getting on the plane is just another level of getting people to have a mechanism that would spur them to get the vaccinate. namely, you can't get on a plane unless you're vaccinated, which is just another one of the ways of getting requirements, whatever that might be. so i mean, anything that could get um people more vaccinated would be welcome. but with regard to the spread of virus in the country, i mean, i think if you look at wearing a mask and the filtration on on planes, things are reasonably safe. we want to make sure people keep their masks on. i

think the idea of taking masks off in my mind is really not something we should even be considering. we're does ask what we meant by it depends on what the goal of getting people vaccinated before they get on a domestic flight. so based on that answer, it appears that the us will not, at least for now require vaccine mandate for domestic travel. or that question is probably going to continue to be coming up over the coming days. because just on friday, one of the biggest, busiest travel days, 1700000 people passed through us airports, the vast majority of them traveling domestically. that all comes as the army crime variance searches here in the u. s. just on friday, there were 44000 new cases here in new york, new york has become the u. s. epicenter of this new highly transmissible variant.

certainly some staggering numbers there. thank you for that update. gabriel allas under live for us in new york. and if it's to make our own case has been detected in the besieged gaza strip. the carrier is a palestinian resident who was infected within the coastal territory. health authorities say that means the new variant will now be widespread. among gods is population of 2200000 to the news now. and israeli soldiers have injured more than $240.00 palestinian protest is in the town of burka north of na blows. that's according to the palestinian red crescent. israeli forces 5 t gas live ammunition and rubber coated steel, bullets tensions been escalating in the areas since these rally says he was shot dead by 2 palestinians on december 16th. hundreds of settlers attacked the town and the occupied west bank earlier this week. harry force, it has the latest on the situation in berker. its been tense for

a few days and very violent on some of those days. and there was more violence overnights into last night. and the situation this morning is somewhat com. or you can see the behind the remnants of the classes that they were between villages and israeli soldiers during the hours of night. substantial numbers of injury 7 injured by live fire, and dozens more by rubber coated steel bullets and talking about the kind of gas that was used as well. being particularly toxic and unpleasant. all of this coming as another group of settlers were trying to get to the nearby, withdrawn from supposedly outpost of clash, which is a short walk away from here. that is an area that was supposed to be disengaged from in 2005, but has been operating as a shiver or religious school with tacit approval and support by the israeli

military ever since. and it has been a consistent issue of contention between nearby settlers and the villages here over recent years. but in recent days it's been particularly heightened that because of a killing, a shooting dead oven is ready. settler at the entrance to that outpost about 10 days ago as well as that on saturday there was a shooting at the checkpoint near nobliss of cora against the news ready military post. no injuries and not. and it was the death of an elderly palestinian woman who was run over by an israeli vehicle as well. so it remains an extremely sort of 10 set of circumstances rights groups have accused me and my military of carrying out a massacre. after chad remains of associate paper were found in k s days. witnesses, se civilians including women and children, were rounded up and shot the attack install to be which abuse and after me and me

attack helicopters and aircraft seen operating in areas where tens of thousands of civilians are trying to escape the fighting men. mars military seeming now to be in a full offensive against armed ethnic groups. along the border with thailand, i expect that we're going to see more of these kind of atrocities because the myanmar military ah, when it faces resistance ah, doesn't have any breaks it. it can, you know, operate it to kill anybody that it was because it will not be held accountable by military command. there is no brakes on the car here and thousands more refugees of now fled into thailand. in the past 2 days. this is a growing humanitarian crisis that thailand doesn't want. in the past, refugees had been pushed back into myanmar when ty authorities deemed the situation to be safe. that now looks like a policy that'll be difficult to justify. tony ching al jazeera
