that have been issued by the authorities there. what, what are the expectations of the effect this could have? well, i mean, not the moment, it is not a warning gets an advisor in. there's a clear distinction that because there are full levels ready to go through the advisory states, not 2nd from officers. second, from the most severe, but that is very much, i keep an eye on things, stay safe, don't panic, but stay away from the water. if you can. we know that that's just been listed actually on hawaii, they saw some water. some waves arrive several hours ago. nothing too severe. some slightly heavy waves with a local mine, a flooding. no real damage reported, but of course we all still further along here. you know, it's a 6 hour flight from hawaii to the west coast of the united states and is a huge stretch to cover. you've got oregon, you've got california, and you've got washington here in southern california to show you what's happening

and it's pretty much nothing. i mean, it looks pretty complex like a perfect saturday morning. people have been told to stay away from the beaches and some cities fair be ordered to stay away from the beaches because you got different ordinances depending on where you live. but you know, i drove down the pacific coast highway, which is the main road that you have any say, but it's still these house, it's the main road that goes along there for about 3 miles to get to where i am now . and it seemed like nobody was paying any attention. ready? there were people on the beach playing volleyball, there were people walking their dogs that was suffers in the water. the coast guards were police on the beach really didn't appear to be moving everybody along. and of course, you've got those life called stations stationed all along the beach, every 100 meters, total meters as i conic blue wouldn't shacks, not all of them a man's. and so there is a sense here that perhaps things are not going to be too bad here. now that said, this is, as i say, in advisory, so it is very much a watch it and see what happens. the all reports of some stronger water further up the coast in northern california, we just had from the national weather service in the bay area saying that waves

have been about sub between a quarter of a meter to a meter higher than normal. now that still within the parameters of what was expected, we were told that was probably going to be just under it was probably what we were going to be seeing. they called left thought advisory until they've had several hours of the ways being below a certain level face say that these waves will probably continue at that level or at a higher level than normal for most of the day. but at the moment it doesn't appear to be causing any real damage, but the real concern they've got is telling people, as i say, to stay away from the beach and making sure the people he that warning it would be . they do hear that warning. thank you. from los angeles, phil avow, ah, chinese capital bay jane is reported as 1st community case of the army con variant of cove at 19 positive cases from the northwest. an idea that district china

detected its 1st case of on the con in the community last week in the northern city of chan. jang, and that prompted a snap locked down less than 2 weeks until aging host the winter olympics. elsewhere, several indian cities, including the capital ne deli, have now gone into a strict lockdown. this we can in an effort to control a surge of co, the case is there. all the shops have been closed except for essential businesses. the country reported nearly 270000 new cases on saturday, ice number since may last year. but it is it going on over there monday? if you go to other states, there is election campaigning going on without any covert? 19 protocols? is there no virus at election release of i'm sorry about god is it is incredible. i have to go to work, but there is no bus. it's very problematic. i don't understand what to do. oh. well, india's election commission is also extended a ban on political rallies in several states moleed up to february elections. this

is because of increasing concern about rise in the number of corona virus cases. as we've been saying will probably mattel reports on this now from the indian capital and once again, the streets in the national capital are empty. this is the 2nd we can go if you hear in you jelly, which means that on saturday and sunday, most people have to stay at home. only essential services like hospitals and food deliveries are allowed earlier this week daily. so it's highest this flight since the pandemic began. the positivity rate here is 30 percent, which means that every talk test is positive. no other restrictions continue through the week. there's a night garfield schools have been closed. restaurants are only open for deliveries, and most people are working from home models. so it's a big loss for us. a full lockdown is actually better because at least we can go back to a village and under, during these we can confuse and we don't on anything right now for the country.

several cities like new jelly and one by half the cases div slightly. but that's because of testing which has dropped authorities are now prioritizing death for high risk patients. so asymptomatic contacts of cobra. 1000 patients have been asked to simply self isolate. so even though it looks like cases have plateaued, positivity rate has gone up not amid all of this log scale gatherings or religious gatherings rather have continued even as most of the country has been under some form of restriction for some time. now. west been gone, which is hosting the largest gathering, has seen its highest single day spike since the beginning of the pandemic. now, the courts there are asking authorities to consider postponing upcoming civic pools because of the grown of our situation in the state. now just over a day to go until a start of the australian opened the walls, number one men's tennis play, another joke of which is again in detention in melbourne. hotel, jock, of which is,

a cool pool of air in play here and madrid just a high of 10 degrees for italy and the balkans temperatures, in some cases above average here. so with that warmer air at the surface, we could have a foggy and misty start to the day for many of these areas. snow across turkeys, black sea region, once again over the higher ground. so some showers for a tribes on with the height of 5 degrees when this weather report in africa, the risk of sand and dust storms around the western sahara. a same goes for mauritania. new ox shut has a high of 30 degrees and cool in the northeast, cairo. just 17 on sunday. that's it. that's all we'll see again soon. take care. ah cutter. one of the fastest growing nations in the ronnie cutter needed to open and development international shipping. to become

justify an invasion. the criminal has denied these allegations. also, jabbar is following events for moscow. the russian foreign minister sag lover of during his annual press conference on friday, stressed that russia's patience with the actions of the west is running out and that they are no longer going to wait around to have further talks. as far as the russian government is concerned, there will be no more dialogue with the united states in the coming weeks or months . they're now waiting for an official response from nato, about their concerns of ukraine or any other countries joining the 30 member alliance. the russian foreign minister also said that his country has intelligence or reasons to believe that the us and nato are likely in the coming weeks and months to be building up their troops alongside the russian border. with the, using the pretext of the tensions with ukraine as an excuse to do so. and he said very clearly that that is not acceptable to the russian government. and that is

very much a red line for this country. this was a sentiment that was also shared by the criminal spokesperson earlier this week. following the 3 rounds of talks at various city european cities at between russia and the u. s. and european countries, a nato. the sentiment here is that the talks were not successful and that the kremlin said that any kind of sanctions imposed by the u. s. government on russia will be comparable to severing ties with russia and algiers. rosalind jordan is following developments from washington. the one thing that the biden administration says that it has wanted, has not come true. and that is follow on meetings with russian officials about the next steps to try to deescalate the crisis between russia and the west because of the $100000.00 or so russian troops stationed on the border across from ukraine,

the u. s. and other countries, as you know, are very worried that russia is looking to invade ukraine in the coming weeks as a way of extending its influence in a central and eastern europe. and that is something that washington especially does not want to see of. there also has not been any development from washington side on responding to russia's request for rog. guarantees that nato would pull back it's of florida deploy troops of back to central europe away from eastern europe, as well as promising and writing that ukraine would never be admitted. to nato, the u. s. has said it won't stand for any interference in nato's affairs. that countries that want to apply to nato have the right to do so, but they can only be admitted if they meet nato's stringent standards. but at the end of the day, the u. s. is not going to stand for any outside party trying to dictate how nato

conducts its security affairs. will females, his bank, he, members of the ransomware crime, crypt revealeth, and reminding custody by moscow court over the illegal trafficking of funds on friday, russia kind at this mantel, the group at the request of the united states, russia security service, detained in charge several retail members seizing assets, including money, computers, and luxury cars. the united states, welcome these ras, made at a time of increasing tension between moscow and washington. now and all the stories are falling. hundreds of people marching north in honduras towards the border with guatemala and the 1st major migrant caravan of the year. marchers made up of mainly honduran nicaraguans hoping to reach the u. s. about 2000 kilometers north, about 62 percent of under and live in poverty as situation made was by the pandemic . and to harkins in 2020 shamar castro takes office as on doris president in less

than 2 weeks with a pledge to revive the economy and, and corruption. meanwhile, facilities for refugees in migrants in mexico, running out of space. families that keep arriving from central america. very few people have been able to continue their journey north as the asylum process entry into the united states has almost ground to a halt because of the pandemic. and now is money. rapid reports from the border city of cio, wanna things could be about to get even worse. it's supper time at a migrant shelter into one mexico. and both space and food for everyone is limited . the shelters director says there's been a significant increase in the number of families arriving and she's been forced to turn many away. it's very painful to see women with children arriving at our doors . asking for shelter. large influx is of migrant. stretching the limits of the

services shelters can provide is not a new phenomenon here. but the coven 19 pandemic, has made things more complicated. for more than a year, the us international organization for migration has been using a hotel in downtown p one as temporary housing, and a quarantine new arrivals. but it wants the us and mexico to do more to help those shelters that are able to see if families are overcrowded right now. they're over a 100 percent and capacity. a lot of them have 3 or 4 spaces, but the families are still counting. the u. s. a silent process has been at a virtual standstill since the start of the pandemic leaving hundreds of migrants stranded as conditions at migrants shelters in the one i become more overcrowded. many who can't find a place to stay have ended up here,

a makeshift migrate camp right on mexico's border with the united states. but space has also run out, and local authorities have fenced off the area. oh, the sound of children practicing the violin breaks through the clatter, the parents of this aspiring musician, tell us they've been here for more than 2 months, but say returning to their home in southern mexico, where they faced gang violence. and extortion is not an option. everything that i think most of being here is difficult. we're not here because we want to be who would want to live like this. so further complicating the matter is the re implementation of a u. s. policy known as the migrant protection protocols or m p p, which forces asylum seekers to return to mexico while their cases are processed. oh, with m p. p, scheduled to be reinstated in more cities along the border. it's feared overcrowded

conditions at shelters and migrant camps. will only get worse many times as live now from the border city tail ana. what's it like nannie? it's not quite the crisis that we've seen in previous years, but what we're hearing from international aid workers, as well as from shelter organizers, is that if more isn't done by local authorities, by the governments of mexico in the united states, this could quickly grow into another crime on the border. now we are at in chapparal port of entry into the united states at that make ship migrant camp that you saw in our report. it's been raining all morning. it's quite cold. these are not good conditions for people to be living in. but it's still better than what a lot of migrants are having to deal with here on the border who are unable to find shelter. what we've observed, again from international aid workers, is growing concern over the re implementation of the so called migrant protection protocols, or m p p. so policy also known as remain in mexico that began under the trump administration, but as continued under the abided administration, would it does,

it forces us asylum seekers to return to mexico. wilder asylum cases are heard in the united states. and the fear is that this could lead to more overcrowded conditions that coupled with the continued implementation of title 40 to another policy that's used as a pretext, uses the coven 19 pandemic as a pretext to not resume the traditional asylum process. so would to give you a sense of the numbers, for example, this, according the pew research center, last year of the u. s. admitted 11411 refugees. that may sound like a large number, but it's actually the lowest number of refugees admitted into the united states since 1980. so when we try to find a logic here, a reason why we're seeing such a big pile of, of migrants. it's a combination of strict immigration policies and ongoing sanitary measures linked to the coven, 19 pandemic, and the outcome. the result is overcrowded conditions and more people are trying to find space at migrant camps like the one that we're at now. but local authorities

again, have fence it off, not allowing new migrants to enter the camp, leaving a lot of people to simply fend for themselves on the streets of tiquana. so what does that mean then for increasing numbers of people that are making this journey north? if the less is slowing down, it's a sign in process because of this and public health measure due to kind of at 19 what, what does that mean for the the it and now the caravan of honduras that are starting the journey. now you're right on the money marianne, this is a worrying sign. again. the 1st major caravan of the year we've been monitoring this. we'd heard rumors that this was going to take place on saturday and sure enough our sources in honduras of reported that anywhere between 40600 people began to leave saint pedro sousa honduras the early hours of saturday. they've, at this point already reached the honduran border with guatemala. the vast majority

of those in this caravan are from honduras. but there is also a large number of nicaraguan citizens, presumably people who are fleeing for political reasons. there has been a, a crackdown on descent linked to the pre, the, the most recent electoral cycle in nicaragua. but again, when you look at the sheer numbers of people here in tiquana, it's not just the policies of the united states. it's not just the pandemic, but it's this constant flow of migrants and an alarming number of families and children that continue to arrive adding to these overcrowded conditions here on the border. marion. well thank you very much, money, rapper, boating tests from till on into thanks. money now can you're saying that it will be totally relying on renewable energy by the end of the decade. so ready? one of the lead is in green energy with about 9000000 homes of grid. katherine soy has more now from mar summit on how it's affecting daily life.

the blades of $365.00 turbines rotate on the edge of lake to china. this wind farm, the largest in africa, is perched on a stretch of rocky desert it north in kenya. yet it is key to the countries plans to have a fully green energy supply by 2030 with a capacity to dispense $310.00 megawatts of low cost power. it will increase energy supplied by 30 percent. those who leave and walk in moss, a bit home to the wind farm can't wait to be connected, but some are not happy. it's not already happened. season of clear thought, you know, we got our problems, we will end um we are told the wheat mit will help us when it comes, but it's taking too long to reach us past that. that is one of the theory does in pain. you're still running on generating people here, say they want to go green and benefit from the wind farm. many i increasingly using solar energy to power. the whole renewable energy from natural sources,

including geothermal, weaned solar and hydro electric account for about 90 percent of kenya's electricity needs. the country's electricity company is also diversified by using geothermal, steam for other uses. it's like a direct impact in agriculture because we have the kin houses. we are growing our hot cutter. we have fish. that is also agriculture. we have drink of crops. if we didn't want to get to lodge a skilled pharmacy, even people who are doing much of life, we have to fit them adjustment to your number. feel all this makes kenya a global leader in climate change. but some analysts say that in itself may not help you. the developed world does not do better option one is to continue investing in claiming mechanisms for the already polluting industries. option 2 is to invest a new renewable technology, unclear technologies in africa,

and make use of the community and africa that is the cheaper the cheapest option we should sell now, and that's what the wild features. jafar, abduct. mine says. all he wants is a clean and a more reliable pass horse. to run his business. catherine saw alta 0 or sabot, kenya. ah, great look at the main stories this hour an hour and 12 hours after a major volcanic eruption and powerful soon army. they're still little word out of toner, on casualties. all the damage you undersea volcano erupted about 60 kilometers. north of the capital and communications were knocked out. there are reports of people struggling to breathe because of the ash volcano is also triggered. tsunami, wanting to go across the pacific from the u. s. to japan aust.
