of honor the holy grail rule: an incredible journey into the realms of science fiction, where cloning and synthetic biology have scientist playing god. witness genesis to point to the hunt for the holy mamma. on al jazeera blue, we have lost a great icon, a father tributes, poor in barrage, bishop desmond, to to south africa's anti apartheid hero and nobel laureate, has died at the age of 90. ah, hello, i'm emily anglin. this is al jazeera, alive from doha. also coming up, this adelaide coalition defends as strikes on santa airport, saying the her themes were using it to launched ballistic missiles with as bill as

help human rights groups, excuse me, in my military of massacre after dozens of burned bodies of fans in k as days and we report from southern pakistan where a drought is pushing millions to the brink of starvation. ah, the south african nobel peace prize winner desmond to to has died. he was 90 years old, appointed the 1st black archbishop of cape town at 22 rose to prominence in the 1980s as a vocal opponent of apartheid. he used his pulpit and public demonstrations to energize opinion against racial inequity, both at home and abroad. south africa's president serial 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 said africa, but for africa as a continent. we have lost a great icon, a father, a human who are they not just full, that the african peep, this african people. but for africa as, as, as a nation, africa, as a unit, africa, as one. i feel i feel, i feel very, very down emotional. right? now, because he was somebody that almost everybody liked, especially the kids love him and you know how it takes a look back and desmond to to his life. 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 to get 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 get the blood from his desmond and pillow too too was born in a mining town outside. johanna's book, 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 censure. 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 shop like the shop fil massacre in 1960. ringback 59 people were killed and most of them were short in the bag as they're running away, protesting against the past. 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 going to succeed is not just because of number. i believe weight was a big because it is a judge 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 pretty 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 are patching 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. and julian wolf is outside desmond to to his house in cape town. hello there, julian. what more can you tell us about the significance of that area?

well, the significance about this house right here is that it represents exactly what desmond tutu fought against. and that is segregation between blacks and whites. this is an area that during the apartheid era, it was a segregated area, only white for allowed to live here. he has lived here for many decades after he stepped down after he retired from being archbishop. and he has lived here for many decades. what we've seen here today, our family members loved ones and faith leaders step inside, offer their moral support more and together with the family. and also make preparation in the week ahead of how they themselves, as a family will commemorate his life and legacy, but also the rest of south africa and the world. and you've been speaking directly with some of tutors, family members, what have they said? that's correct. i spoke with the daughter all dozen to turn on toby. and i us or

what it is that doesn't to, to instilled in them as children, growing up with this eye clinic leader as a father. and she, she really said that he tried to instill, in the sense of a boon too, and the idea of a shared humanity, how they needed to respect one another within the family home before they brought that respect for each other out into society. she also spoke about the leadership in south africa. i had author, this was, you know, one of the last iconic freedom fighters left over and what that meant for the next generation of freedom fighters and also leaders. and she said she doesn't think that there's a lack of leadership within the younger generation in south africa and the world because people are fighting against climb, change people are fighting against l. g, b to cue rights, and people are fighting against economic injustice. so she thinks that there is definitely a good level of leadership within south africa's future generation. now i also

asked her how them as a family are going to celebrate and commemorate an owner their father intimately in the coming days. and she mentioned that they will commemorate together as a family, including the 2 culture of the culture, which they will let the ancestors know that he has pass and that is on the way to them. and he will, they will awesome to welcome him, but also the credit, the christian tradition where they will be holding prayers and services every day to memorize him and on are, has like, a sense like a fitting tribute. thank you very much. and julie moved live for us in cape town. the saudi led coalition in yemen is accusing the hurricanes of using the center airport to launch ballistic missiles during a press conference coalition spokesman, turkey, alabama, leaky said, saudi arabia has been targeted by more than 400 missiles by the group. since the

a victim. you mean it is the intervention of yacht a bad idea. mm. and i know about talking about that, and i bought that, that is a base just one or 2 kilometer south of that boat isn't a base, it's called a day let me base and the shade in the same runway with 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 that i what it is about 24 hours monitoring for them. so the back forces it will be so silly for us not to leave only and to leave all areas in for them and to go use one final thing we have seen that you have said that there are monitor and just last thing the monitor in the whole these 24 hours, i mean on the other hand, 800 drones, for 100 ballistic miss i 100 the boat has belongs to again. so the idea what type of more of monitoring rights groups have accused me and my military of carrying out

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. tourney chang, al jazeera. still hey, don't al jazeera diesel scenes in the iraqi city of o. g will as bodies of migrants who drown, trying to cross the english channel. a returned home and hundreds of palestinian protest is our angel in the occupied west bank as tension escalates over attacks by is riley settlers. ah, we may have some record breaking heats in africa. hello everyone. good to see you

1st. we're going to begin in the middle east and still this cloud over central sections of saudi on monday. i don't think we've got the rain risk in there anymore, but we're going to go into the golf for a closer look because what we do still have is that shamal coming down from iraq. so we'll see when gus in doha, to about 40 to 50 kilometers per hour, down ports of rain to be expected in southern pakistan. this is going to impact karachi, unsettled toward the northeast. the hor, and as one by your temperatures are below where they should be for this and the year the temperature is above average in is symbol, but breezy through the boss 1st and prepare for it because we're going to get back into a gloomy stretch of weather for a symbol now in terms of that record breaking heat, it could be through like also an boucher in the days to come. storms still for a can shasta into congo, galvan and southern sections of cameroon. we've got some big storms flaring up. we go further toward the south, around our botswana into this eastern portion of south africa. so that includes for

johannesburg at 18 degrees. but give it a bit of time because your temperature is, are on the way up your should up to 27 degrees on wednesday. in the sunshine, sounds good. that's it. we'll see it in the frank assessments. this crisis where you continue to recon luca shanker, even though perhaps he believes in the beginning that it was informed opinions like think politicians will now be under incredible pressure from the young people. that is one of the most types of things can come out of this critical debate. do you think a should be facilitated? not sure. okay, it's a great. it's a really simple question. let's give me a child once inside story on al jazeera. oh,

the me. hello, are you watching al jazeera? i'm emily anguish. reminder about top stories this alum south african nobel peace prize winner has been to, to, has died at the age of 19. he was appointed the 1st black archbishop of cape town and became known to his vocal of physicians the countries apartheid system. this adelaide coalition in yemen is accusing the hurried rebels of using santa a port to launch a ballistic missiles into the kingdom. the coalition attacked the airport earlier this week. and human rights groups are accusing the military of committing a massacre. the child remains of 38 people have been found in k estate for children . charity says 2 of its stuff missing in the area. hundreds of flat

cancellations. continuing to stack up across the us because of an increase in coven 19 cases. a line say on the kron has had a major impact on staffing levels and led to the cancellations increasing a backlog over the holiday period. they were growing cold for passengers to be vaccinated before they fly domestically in the us. but the nation's top infectious disease expert says he's, i'm sure that's necessary. thank seen 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 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. gabriel alexander has been following developments from neil

help officials here in the us say that the army kron variant probably won't peak in the us 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. airlines are saying that this is because the 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 they have been emotional scenes in northern iraq. after the bodies of 16 migrants were returned from france, they were among a group of people who drowned last month trying to reach britain mohammed why had reports from baghdad. these people are mourning the loss of their loved ones who drowned in the english channel. last month. the bodies of the kurdish migrants arrived here at it'd be a poor wow. ambulance is siren's, rang, crossed the city in the early hours of some day as they were carried to be or it in

their home towns. i crossed the kurdish region over northern iraq. women and children were among those who died. most were young people, also a better life abroad on the stand, the better. unfortunately, during the past the years young people in kurdistan lost hope because of the financial crisis. they wanted to live in a country that respect human rights. because here, there is no respect for human rights. humbly dingey carrying the migrants capsized in the english channel. a month ago, it had sailed from the french city of kelly towards britain, the international organization for migration sad. it was the largest single loss of life in the channel since it began collecting information 7 years ago. the curtis 10 regional government says it has been liaising with french,

you authorities to identify the victims, throw fingerprints and dna. the kurdish region is widely considered a safe haven compared to other parts of conflict, scar to iraq. but many people that sell whatever they own to pay smugglers to get them to the u. k. and europe. in the hope of a better life, hundreds of iraqis will repatriated from below rows in november. they were among the thousands of refugees as park on the border between below some poland. among those return to iraq most will from the kurdish region. the government of this turn region says it has warner, young people not to jeopardize their lives by being exploited by people smugglers or the victims families say a lack of jobs. it can almost decline and corruption out of forcing people to flee the country up through. i had a busy at all,

but that at least $27.00 people, including a child have drowned of libya in the mediterranean saying their bodies were found on the western coast in the town of combs. the migrants had been trying to make their way to europe. such efforts are underway and 3 other refugees and migrants have been rescued. libby is high council of state has criticize the electoral commission for canceling presidential and parliamentary elections. it called off the 24th of december vote fighting a lack of preparedness and disagreements. malik trina has moved from tripoli. see, 1st round of a presidential election was supposed to take place 2 days ago, but they've been postponed now. the elections commission has suggested that the point take place on january 24th and just under a month. but really it's libya's legislative houses that have to agree on a new date to hold the elections. now, according to a previous agreement,

there's 2 legislative houses in libya. there's the parliament in eastern libya and there's the high council state here in western livia, the parliament is holding a session tomorrow. we'll discuss the challenges and issues. why the, why the elections commission wasn't able to implement the vote? the high council state had a session today here and triply, i were the speaker outlined a few of the issues. why are these vote didn't happen one? he said there was no constitutional framework for the vote to take place, or the said there was no agreement on the rules and regulations between the legislative houses. a 3rd, he accused the elections commission of not been neutral. of course the election commission had him l z a at denials allegations a but moving whole moving forward or the speaker hug. missy had the following to say, one, we will met any step taken by the parliament without consultation with the high council of state will fail. whether it's related to the roadmap for the adoption of

laws or any attempt to change the executive authority. so we've reached out our hands to build consensus. the libyans are sick and tired of the parliament of the high council of state. there's a huge appetite, a to, to vote and to up to vote in a who they want the who they want to lead them. so what we're seeing now is many calling for parliamentary elections to take place a followed by a constitutional referendum. and then they say they can vote for president a who they believe will move the country forward. we're gonna have to wait and see for the weeks and months ahead. a how the situation developed here in louisville. israeli soldiers have injured more than $214.00 palestinian protest is in the town of north of nablus. that's according to the palestinian red crisen. israeli forces 5 t gas live ammunition and rubber coated steel, bullets tensions have been escalating in the areas since in israeli says le was shot dead by 2 palestinians on december 16th hundreds of settlers attacked the town

in the occupied west bank earlier this week. harry faucet has the latest on the situation in boca, 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 under was the death of an elderly palestinian woman who has run over by an israeli vehicle as well. so it remains an extremely sort of 10 set of circumstances the pakistan government who spinning $14000000000.00 a year on projects to help adapt to climate change. but many in rural areas say the

money's not getting to them and they're struggling to survive. and some of been jade reports, millions of capital migrate, and water dries up in sudden bucket fun farmers and more districts filament on their phones. 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 climb. epic changes around them. for generations, people and 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, but some up to 800 feet deep, have helped more than 74000 people in this terrain. the in this 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 when 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 of thirst when we run out. and when pregnant women travel for water, many faint and his no nearby health facility, life 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 be delivered into you, you don't need electricity, not even arose,

but we are desperate for water for ourselves in our capital minutes to say it's not possible to reach everyone as focused on is among the top 10 countries most vulnerable to climate change. marcusson's 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 is not a choice. we have to, we are forced to adapt to climate change. and these funds come come out of our priorities. i'll go felt 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 there was the family. they can finally book after daylight hours for

grades 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 to large communities if there's political will and money. but focus on water challenges are complex, multifaceted and time is running out to address them from a majority. they are going to stand southern pakistan. ah, hello, are you watching al jazeera, these are the top stories this our south african nobel peace prize. when a desmond to to has died at the age of 90, he was appointed the 1st black archbishop of cape town and became known for his vocal opposition to the countries apartheid system. it's actually very sad and i don't think not only for.
