a volcanic eruption that's cut off the island from the rest of the outside world. calls for a general strike ensued on after more protest as are killed in rallies against military leaders. we're also in pakistan, which is struggling to contain the all the cranberry into cove. 19 hundreds of health workers are infected. i'm joanna roscoe, the sports as 3 time grand slam champion. andy murray survives a 4 hour battle and course to win his 1st match at the strain open in 5 years. ah, welcome to the news are it's been 3 days now since the volcanic eruption and soon army in tonga. but the full scale of the destruction is any now being emerged. no new satellite images show a thick layer of ash on the runway of paula's main airport. on the left is how it

looked before the eruption and the ashes. delane deliveries of international aid and his expected take days to clear the ashes proving quite problematic. not just for water and sanitation because tom collected water from the roofs of households. but in terms of access for the aid from a straight to a new zealand and other flights, they need to clear the runway. latest information i have is that 60 percent of the runway has been cleared. and this is done manually. i hear up to 200 volunteers sweeping the runway in preparation for the supplies to land on thursday or friday. if things happen according to plan. well, this is our tongue as main port looked at the end of december in the latest satellite pictures. you can see, contain a flung about and the other area is smothered in grey ash. now the un says surveillance flights have shown substantial damage along tolmas coast,

especially on to low lying islands. and as you can see, the power of better option rights as it is. this is the volcano below the massive explosion on saturday. now, almost most of it has disappeared under the sea. the adoption sent the atmospheric shock ways around the world and seen army surges throughout the pacific. sarah clock begins our coverage and brisbin in australia. these are some of the 1st satellite images showing the extent of the damage. after a volcanic eruption triggered a synonymy and waves surged through, thom has 170 islands zealand and australia have kept military aircraft to assess the damage. for the surveillance work that was done was really quite crucial. but we know that there is more work to be done to make sure that solar can bounce back . i mean, i know amo has been unable to reach her family and toner since saturday. her 2 sisters live on the main island tonka top,

who her brother and his family live on the small island for i'm worried. i like everyone else. they know you have your sleepless nights and are not knowing what to expect. a fiber optic cable. one of the country's main lines of communication was damaged by the eruption and may take weeks to a store within a week or 2. or we should be able to know whether we can be able to get our full connectivity up and running. for now, this is the only communication. many people in tonga have a t, v and radio station in australia covering the pacific region is fielding coles from relatives around the world who are desperate for updates. we've had tomlins calling from sweden austria puts of japan and so for just desperate for any news from home to deaths have now been confirmed, including angela glover,

a british woman who was rescuing her dogs when she was hit by the powerful wave. we are just shattered. arm is the only word i can think to describe it on any family that youth loses. such a treasured member of their family would know exactly what you know, what i'm saying here. a royal australian navy ship is on its way from sidney to brisbin, to load humanitarian aid humanitarian groups, and now coordinating a joint relief effort. the volcanic ash means it's difficult, the same supplies by air, so water and sanitation kits. tents and blankets are being lighted on ships to be sent from australia and new zealand. high tides, triggered by the volcanic explosion near tonga, have been filled as far away as peru where a ship supplying the country's main oil. processing plant was rocked by waves generated by the russian the result, a 2 kilometer long oil spill. sarah, clock out 0 brisbin, australia. let's bring into the handley. she's

a vocal ologist, and i don't associate professor menache university jones me now from sidney. could tell you where this fessor on the program. obviously, rescue efforts couldn't proceed when air quality and visibility is restored. so when volcanic caches in the air, how long does it stay there for a? what sort of timeline are we looking at in terms of trying to, you might say, emergency crews on the ground. so most of the ash shown by today's interruption should now it's settled or most that should settle. and obviously it depends on how high goes into the atmosphere that we saw from that big a direction. on saturday, a lot of the ash and gas actually went really high, probably as high as 30 kilometers up into the stratosphere. and what that did was when he got to that height, a lot of the actually moved away from tongue. that was australia. we've seen a lot of the ash and so, but outside at high levels, maybe no rush trail. yeah. in today and yesterday. and so the ash that would have

bull and locally that moved to a lower levels. and by the time that should hopefully now and school. and so that should help with that, i guess the efforts to kind of get really in and obviously hopefully, you know, the volcano were in iraq already flights of trying to land. but obviously the risk now that you know that ash produce interactions that may affect local areas, he's going to be significant to that. and then also on the ground. now, you know, you can get me mobilized a little bit and we suspended into the, i guess the static is dry. so i was when this week in the runways and when that, you know, trying to clean up all these ash this fall in there is obviously might need to spend a little bit of labor. hopefully they're wearing masks. they can stay safe from that often change where the systems can turn the reality on the ground into a different direction. and some suggestions from scientists have been the worry about acidic rain because of the volcanic ash. why is it? is volcanic are dangerous in any shape for besides breathing it's in say the

volcanic ash itself. so these are very hard fragments. i mean it's not like ashley, anything from you know, burning so that so crumbly and soft. these are little fragments of volcanic glass angular. so yes, when you breathe in, physically, that obviously is a danger to your lungs, but also what that when it, well kind of cash carries is you know, the gas pots that kind of stuck to it now. and so when am balcony cash kind of goes into water resources. so example, you know, if it starts to rain and then that mixes that the water in atmosphere, you, this, the, so for this kind of out here don't start to the volcanic ash bit, can then make acid rain and it's the same with the drinking water supply so, you know, imagine a locked hunger collecting drinking water from them. bruce, you know, air, rainwater and ash gets into those drinking water supplies. again, you can kind of reach out, you can kind of and dissolve these little bits of gas stuck to the ash particles,

and they can contaminate the drinking water way and fluoride as well, if it's already contaminated or potentially contaminated land water, fresh water. if it lands in the sea, what sort of effect does it have then? does a sort of dissipate out of the sink to the basel? yes, i guess it's not. you know, it's a volume. you're in a massive volume of water there. so the actual contamination should get a lot more than say in small area and gas particles usually then will settle, you know, they may, i am kind of suspend for a little bit, but they should eventually setup that allows you to want to call them in terms of the volcano itself, i mean we too often talk about the sort of pacific ring of fire with various plates that meet from the globe and also the vote volcanoes and cells on to water on land . could this happen again? so do you mean specific to this volcano? i think people are reachable. be worried whether this one goes off again, all the others that we should be keeping an eye on. so we know that these are very

tiny t active areas. earthquakes and football canines around the pacific. rima, i, because yes, you got these to take place. and what one's doing is meeting and going down to me, which triggered the mouth thing. and it's usually, you know, gas rich notes about that comes to the surface and can leads excellency directions . so there is all active volcanoes, obviously to, to become active and have an expensive euros reaction around the ring of fire. but this volcanic eruption is unlikely to trigger, you know, nearby volcanic eruptions. but what we don't know yet about the current and state of activity i'm at the volcano is whether it has completely finished or whether there might be future reactions to come. professor humbly, thanks. so much for joining us from sydney. fascinating. a talking to i'm sure will invite you get on the show again as the situation develops. thank you very much. thank he in the jury,

if the trial of separatists lead to none, the connie on treason charges is sent to resume in the capital of boucher. he's the leader of the indigenous people of biafra who wants to ptolemy for the south eastern region to dallas and bar choice, you know, from the capital. just give us a background as to who this man is and why this trial is going ahead. none the kind of the leader for the people up there for was a base in the, in the you case where, you know, he was just, i read that in 2015 and that's a t as he disappeared with the with the get arrested last june in kenya, and we're thinking back in a year where he's been held by security breaches in the trial is some of the chinese against the 7 con charges include twitching calls, who if there's multiple heidi terrorism and tristan and he's denied all the charges

and says that what he's just doing is more of a democratic agitation and for his people because it be for us struggle so to speak, started in 967 when we contact attempted to be region attempted to break away from nigeria and she got to the civil war that killed more than a 1000000 people, as mostly from the ego speaking products of the countries. so after that, it was more like nobody was talking about bathrooms recently, especially in 1990. when the group movement for the physician of the f for us started to struggle and started educating, i recently non because i have become very popular among the people who feel that some of the injustice see the injustice against the people of the region. i see not being corrected and that government is not paying so much attention to the southeast region in terms of the profile of this man and the calls that tendons. is

there a growing ceiling either in that part of that se, in nigeria that i offer is a potential for a potential subject for discussion at a much higher level? do people want to see this brought out into the opener and a discussion had at a higher political level well for many supporters of them because they would tell you that the want for and they don't want to see in us. but again, media the media support as a say, let's try to negotiate to see how we can resolve some of these perceived injustices and see if we can remain in nigeria. read that net is all thing to agitating more for the cd. but none of these congress influence is increasingly growing over the year because most of the supports as even people who own employees who feel that government is not being attention to them as individuals and the region. so most

times he use the, the private registration which the initial setup in london to more like a broadcast to media and millions of people in the night. and even in the desk for saying that only a sufficient out of nature will solve some of the problems have been educating for what to government has said. you know, some of the specific justices that we are trying to pay more attention to the region. and that is just a gradual process because some of all the request will not be resolved same time. but again, recently that he's been in court. this been a growing cause for government to release him unconditionally, especially ahead of the election in 2023. and again, anytime he's going to court, they've been like that whole order issued by his group, which paralyzes economic activities in the south is on to the course sessions are over. and people are saying that even some of the struggle, you know, because some of these members have come up in violent confrontation with the

security agencies. and if you, that's only a release from them, the colonel and more like shopping or the chinese against him would actually stop these. and more like a lot of people in this out is to gradually more like leave the educations. and what about the business? is this i bought in boucher thank you. so general strikes, expected to start ensued on 24 hours after security forces killed at least 7 protested. demanding military disrespectful. civilian rule, tear gas and rubber bullets. we'll find a 1000 marching towards the presidential palace and cartoon us diplomat situ, in saddam on wednesday to push for talks to end the political crisis. here morgan has following events from the sydney's capital caught him, enjoys, you know, from there a great deal of tension and anger. ready. i presume after monday's demonstrations death. yes indeed. so have now political parties, especially the force of freedom and change coalition, that the coalition back signed the power sharing agreement with the military in

2019 and was pipelines following the military takeover. they have called for a civil disobedience or general strike and a political strike. many associations that are pro democracy and pro force of the freedom of change coalition. they also respond to that protest, says, and resistance committees, residential neighborhood level committees. they have set up barricades in various parts of the capital harpoon to show their anger at what's happened on to on tuesday now, on monday. sorry. now, at least 7 people were killed, more than 60 people were injured. and the police say police released the statement thing. they use the minimal 4th or minimal legal force that they could use to deal with the processes on monday that has and processes even more. they said they were an armed, they have gotten used to being here, got to be kept away from the vicinity of the presidential palace. but yesterday there was use of live ammunition and hard to something that has rarely happened

over the past 2 months or so. so lots of anger's among port that says on the street and when political parties, while the political deadlock still remains, there is still no clear way out or clear form of negotiation or concessions happening within the political party and the military. so process that they, they will continue to organize for the civil disobedience and they will continue to organize for more protests by the number of sets from to this, from monday, protest him of morgan force and call to him. thank you. well still ahead here on, i'll just there is news tanks in the united arab emirates, followed by strikes in yemen, will have the latest from the capital sonata. also the law called the 5 g y l and boss is a warning of catastrophe. when the new wireless network, which is owned by robert lo and dusky, is named best player the for a 2nd consecutive time. when i from him in sports,

southwestern borders and they wanted to have these drills just to be prepared. and russia was, of course, very quick to respond. and also the british government, announcing on monday that they're providing more assistance, military and training to ukraine. the defense secretary on monday in britain said that his country was certainly behind ukraine. and they were sending a small team of british troops to train ukrainian soldiers. and that they will not stay longer in the country, but they will continue to support ukraine in defending themselves against what they believe to be russian aggression dosage vari, with the update for us from moscow. thanks dawson. now the sandy led coalition has also launched as strikes on the evans capital killing dozens. now it's in response to a deadly attack by who the rebels on the united arab emirates, the rebel say they fight 5 ballistic missiles and some drones at oil facilities as

a march and the capital to demand greater protection of voting rights. present. joe biden has promised to pass a new law, but luck support in the senate. democrats argue that new legislation is needed, especially for ethnic minorities in low income workers. last week, the president said, he's tired of being quiet about voting rights. well, we're tired of being picked since january 6th, 2021. when the insurrection us attacked our capital, 19 legislatures have passed. 34 law of clawing back voting rights for their citizens. and states like my home state, where new laws i should say of georgia are designed to confuse voter so i don't know where to go. she had returned, say, was that the march and spoke to activists. daniel martin luther king junior day parade was canceled this year in washington, dc because of a pandemic. but

a smaller piece walk is taking place. participants came this year to have their voices heard at a time when republican state us off the state house across the country, legislation is being introduced specifically to undermine but turned out of african american voters. the rights that as martin luther king referred doctor kings eldest son to serve king blood for what these marchers, one is for congress, which often was controlled by the democratic party to pass federal voting rights legislation to protect the franchise this march this year is extremely important people have little it out for us or to write and to continue the legacy of doctor king and to continue the advocacy for voting. all rights is extremely important on without it our democracies and 3, we see that 3 of our democracy every single day. and we do not advocate for voting rights to one to our democracy. we're far, i think is

a sad day in america because ah biden receive 80000000 volts. trump received 70000000 volts. we sent them here as the american people to washington to pass legislation that would be in the best interest of citizens, not if they cannot get anything done beyond emergency packages such as cove. with that we have a serious problem. the problem is, it's the democratic party that just doesn't seem to have the votes in on grass to override congressional rules and overcome republican opposition to pass this legislation. even joe biden last week, seem pretty doubtful that this would be post under his watch after he some say belatedly, but the full force of the presidency behind the push to get voting rights legislation puffed, ironically, if a bite and does fail once again to get a major piece of legislation policy promised on the campaign tro with democratic vote. but democrats turned out of the upcoming mid term elections may be depressed anyway. not sad to say climate change is likely a likely contributing factor to

hello there. thank you for joining in. we've got a developing disturbance around the eastern mediterranean. here's what's going on. that cool wind from the north getting up with those warm waters in the eastern mediterranean. that's kind of sparked some wild weather. douse with rain across cypress and areas of the lavette that includes syria snow over the higher ground in turkey and look at it stumble, 7 degrees, you could see a light dusting of snow as we head toward wednesday. then your temperature pops up to 11 degrees, but it's going to fall right back down after that. and there are some more snow risks in the extended forecast. now for central europe, things have quieted down that snow that we were dealing with is mostly pushed away, but still missed in fog here. as we do have some high temperatures and that's over snow. so that's going to do the trick to see some fog iberia as we left it 24 hours ago. still an abundance of sunshine temperatures where they should be lisbon, 13 and porto a hiv 16 degrees for you. often northwestern europe. right now,

some showers across the republic of ireland, northern ireland, also round scotland not too far away from edinburgh. and we'll end this further report in africa. there is some out of season brain falling across the gulf of guinea that's impacting our cra, gonna with a high of 33 degrees on tuesday. that's it. we'll see again soon. take care. ah, ah. my name is bonnie but now i have always thought of yoga as part of my indian heritage. i understand it to be about transformation. but yoga itself seems to be transforming. wesley mentality is a lot about this is just very different. give me what you know that it was originally yoga should belong to everyone, but i'm afraid that simple truth is getting lost in a world that so commercialized and politicized owns yoga analogies in casa, one of the fastest growing nations in the won a casa,

a visit by us diplomat to call it to talk to and the political crisis, basically rational the runway of thomas may not afford to delay. international deliveries of aid is expected to take days to clear as to saturday, volcanic eruption and synonymy to that have been confirmed so far. also the latest satellite imagery show a cloud of sulfur dioxide drifting across the pacific ocean. it was caused by the option on something that's dude ash 20 kilometers it's sky is healers defense minister spec to al jazeera, he says, help is on the way to toner infrastructure. is of course the key challenge for the recovery if it's and toner and i don't just mean the main island. i also mean the outer islands wayland, where that was done was really quite crucial. but we know that there is more work to be done to make sure that solar can bounce back to the atmosphere conditions and

the ash covering the importers a particular challenge. i'll be understanding that they'll be clear in the next couple of days and we'll be able to get some flights into told them to be able to make sure we can take supplies. but in the meantime, you know, government myself and then you don't government have made that decision to st. navy befalls, into toner, which of the part today from new zealand to basal, taking supplies. also taking hydrographic instruments to make sure that we can see what's taking place under water as well. and we can't wait for them to get up there . we know that there's a 3 to 4 days styling time from new zealand to toner. and so the specially, you know, rather than like you're in the choice of the, the s 4 has contaminated water supplies. one of the communications from that said, of one of the most pressing need is fresh water supply to tone, which is why one of the people we will be sending from new zealand is able to carry

on, distribute 250000 liter and also has some of the celebration plants to be able to make sure we can continue the supply of people come up. on top of that, there had been a number of communications around infrastructure and the ability to help rebuild some of it. and we'll make sure that we take supplies. i to continue with the recovery if it's brazil has begun vaccinating children, his youngest, 5 years old against cove. 19. that's despite resistance and delay spearheaded by the president, monica young give us more. after a month of political wrangling, mass vaccination of children is finally underway. in brazil, luna, body veda told us he's relieved his 5 year old as maddox son has just been inoculated against covered 19 wash crackers of us now. so the vaccination campaign could have started before delay in brazil was result of the governments in all of

the pandemic. and the lack of a leadership. health officials expect that most of the 20000000 children between the ages of 5 and 11, will show up to get their shots. despite president jane bull sonatas repeated attempts to discredit the vaccines efficacy and safety. he has announced that his 11 year old daughter will not be inoculated. oh, are you going to vaccine that? your child against something which someone young can catch and have an almost 0 chance of dying. some $300.00 children have died in brazil since the pandemic began brazil's health regulatory agency and visa approved the vaccine for children in december. but the president publicly questioned the decision, suggesting there was something shady about it. the whole story is what's behind this. what are the interests behind it? what are the interests of vaccine maniacs? made his remarks were contested by and visit president antonio by paul. his who

like many of both scenarios, advisors is also military officer. he asked the president to show proof of wrong doing, or to apologize for making unfounded accusations. political analysts sable sonata is trying to maintain the support of his hard core followers. as polls show, he will probably lose his bid for reelection in october. he has lost nutrition, war, and death situation on the, in the end there were, there were other odd yellow needs that showed that he has lots of walking the military on his position about the boxing issue or why? because the did, the military themselves have said determined that no soldier or opposite should go to work with dog proof of vaccination. meanwhile, the delay in vaccinating brazilians, both adults and children, has had serious effects. i've asked them why we lost time and could have avoided many hospitalizations and deaths. luckily, brazil as

a country where people trust vaccines and show up when there is a national inoculation campaign in our bathroom. cassiano says her family never had any doubts. her 14 year old son has already had 2 shots and her 8 year old daughter will be vaccinated next week. can either somebody may feeling remembered politics in brazil is very polarized, and the vaccine ended up being a part of this political way where people are more interested in proving his right . and he's wrong instead of treating this is what it is. a public health issue and a right to life. i did that, that a recent poll says 8 out of 10 brazilians are in favor of the coven, 19 vaccine, despite their political preferences, and fake hughes monica. you're not give all jazeera, hundreds of healthcare workers in buckets on the largest city of koran. she have tested positive behavior 19 in the past week. now it's not to shortages of staff and as putting hospitals and depression, 30 percent of people tested in the city were infected and that's more than 4 times

the national rate. health officials say the covariance account for any all new cases come all hider as more from a vaccination center in islam of the national command and operation center. i had read bordered over 5000 positive cases of go over 19. now the new where year and all maker on edge driving the city of karachi and the worst case where there was a double. what 30 percent other law have recorded over 13 percent as lama by standards. all marched 11 percent. the national command and operations 10 k is going to be carrying out mass testing and education, and it's fusion before to decide on the closure of the food is up cause and emergency situation. however, the only con radian is considered to be less liter than the agenda radian, that are over a 100 critical cases in the hospital. the mortality rate

a low as part of the new radian concern, but the country does not want to take any chances. over 102000000 people have already received a jap, 77000000, 445000 people have received a 2nd job. the advisory, a debt, all wasn't available. people over the age of 50 showed get their booster shots. and also the shorts that being rolled out to the younger population over 12 of gosh, bugging times, national command and operation center has been monitoring the situation across the country. it is an alarming trend, given the fact that $500.00 health workers have also been effected in the city of karachi and the fear that if this strike d has occurred, it got put up for the strain on non already precarious situation. now the panoramic is also putting a damper on a popular hindu festival,

celebrated by tunnel communities around the world. in malaysia, di posts and festivals, which i'll usually accompanied by law processions, have been scaled black back from st. louis has moved from colorado. hindus usually start celebrating type with them in the early hours of the morning with prayers and montrose to invoke blessings. and to celebrate the victory of good over evil. as they've done for years, premier sag harassing him and her family will bring pots of milk to a temple. but this time, there's one difference. i want to give my offerings to lord morgan, but because of the coven 19 restrictions this year, i'm choosing to celebrate it. a few days earlier, type with them is celebrated by the hindu tamela community. in honor of lord morgan, the hindu god of war, whose believed to grant people their desires. this year, celebrations are more low as no procession,
