of the people who live it is a probably the most extreme situation i've been involved in how quickly things contract award winning documentary, but also perception witness on a just the euro. ah, entire communities covered under ash satellite images. sure. the impact of the tongue of ok know and, and nami, that destroyed all the homes on one islands. ah, hello, i'm emily. ang, when this is out, is your life from doha. also coming on. we're now at a stage where russia could, at any point, want an attack in ukraine. the u. s. opposite threat assessment ahead of talks between the secretary of state and the russian foreign minister in geneva. this wait to major telecom companies are delaying their 5 g roll out me,

airports after warnings that could cause catastrophic disruption to flights. and the last time she ran to be columbia as president, she was kidnapped and held hostage for 6 and a half years. now even better and poor is running again. ah, new images have revealed the scale of destruction in tongue of following saturdays, volcanic eruption and synonymy large parts of the pacific nation a covered in ash. the government says its several small islands where nearly every home was destroyed, a being evacuated, victoria gate and b reports. satellite images show a thick layer of ash on the wrong way of tongue is main airport, on the left is how it looked before the eruption. the ashes, delaying deliveries of international aid flights,

the ashes proving quite problematic on not just for our water and sanitation because tom collected water from the roofs of household. but in terms of access for the aid from australia, new zealand, arm, and other flights of they need to clear the runway communicating with tanya is extremely difficult. there's no internet and limited phone calls because the scene army severed the fiber optic cable connecting the rest of the world. the telecoms operate as says it will be weeks before the connection is restored. prime minister, so you see. so val, any has released his 1st official statement confirming what many feared the rupture has caused an unprecedented disaster. with the volcanic mushroom plume covering all of tongue as a 170 islands. the red cross estimates that up to 80000 ton guns may be affected, and dust from the volcano could contaminate water supplies. with island is advised to drink bottled water and wear masks. but also what that one it volcanic ash

carries is united gas pause. they're kind of stuck to it now. and so when i'm back volcanic ash kind of goes into water resources. so example, you know, if he starts to rain and then that mixes with that, the water in atmosphere, you this the so for this kind of at heat or stuck to the volcanic ashby, it can then make acid rain. this is how tongue this port looked at the end of december in the latest satellite pictures. the area is smothered in gray ash, dozens of homes on the main island of tango. tap who have been severely damaged or destroyed, or talk desperately needs now is help from other countries. the volcano has stopped spewing ash for now giving a team of $200.00 volunteers. a chance to sweep the runway with most now played. it's hope the 1st aid flights will be able to land as soon as thursday, victoria gay to be al jazeera. when hay is at the naval base in oakland

museum from where and supplies are being sent to toner, wine, the net, and museum navies on. it's why they're what will be their priority yes, will to new zealand naval ships departs into new zealand to all was not an invitation or a request that was made formally by the government in tongue. they're as, as usually are the protocol in these situations. but the new zealand government decided to deploy anyway, perhaps an indication of how difficult communication still is with tongue that we've heard. now that the tongue and government has said that those ships will be allowed to enter tongue and waters and hopefully be able to dock on the islands themselves to deliver those much needed aid supplies. so on board they have the usual things, plenty of clean, fresh drinking water. they have a shelter kids,

medical supplies. one of the ships has a desalination plant on board, which will be vitally important in the days and weeks ahead. it's able to produce more our fresh drinking water while it is dot in our tongue that they also have an underwater surveying equipment on board. so they're going to be able to look at what sort of damage has been caused by this huge eruption beneath the surface. and that could be important when it comes to seeing. if those shipping lanes are able to be used in the future. and as you mentioned previously, that the runway is still are not able to be used because of that as that is hovering at that facility. it is hope though that that clearance operation will be completed in time for the new zealand air force to be able to leave our oakland on thursday morning and be able to land in toner plenty of work ahead of them. wine at . what's the latest on the situation in tongue, or as far as we know?

well, again, communication is still very difficult. the internet is pretty much being cut off partly because severe damage has been caused to a submarine fiber optic optic cables are. so communication remains very difficult on tuesday, we did receive the 1st official statement from the government of toner and they called this an unprecedented disaster. they highlighted some of the huge difficulties, not having communicating with some of the outlying islands, some of which they haven't had any communication with at all. so there is still grave concern for the situation or that may be still unfolding in some of those islands. one island in particular to the north west of the capital, nicole ofa, mango island, they say, has been completely destroyed. are all homes on that island have been wiped out? so while they did confirm that the death toll are remains at 3 at the moment, clearly given those communication difficulties and the fact that the r at navy in

tongue that those defense forces haven't been able to reach some of those outlying islands. that is a situation that could get worse in the days ahead. okay. campus updated. thank you very much for that report. when hey, live for us in oakland museum and the white house has warned russia could attack ukraine at any moment. is also voiced concern over the deployment of russian forces to bel ruth for joint war games, further beefing up rushes, military assets, ukraine, us secretary of state antony, blinking is due to whole talks with russia's foreign minister. sergei lebron in geneva on friday. what has correspondent kimberly hallett has more on what the secretary of state is expected to say at those talks? well, he's trying to send a message and that message that he will be sending to the russian foreign minister is one that has been repeatedly underscored by the west, whether it be through telephone calls, between the various levels of government between the united states and russia.

whether it be in consultations that have taken place between european partners. but the message has been consistent. that is that the u. s. believe that the only way to resolve security differences with respect to concerns about russia invading ukraine is through diplomacy. and should russia choose an alternate path? there will be severe financial consequences. now, the reason that the united states is so gravely concerned is because there is u. s . intelligence that has been in place for months that russia is preparing for some sort of imminent attack. not only because there are tens of thousands of troops. russia has a mass along the border near ukraine, but also because there has been an uptick and activity on social media that seems to indicate that an attack may be imminent. our views. this is an extremely dangerous situation. where now at a stage where russia could at any point,

watch an attack and ukraine, and what secretary blinking is going to go do is highlight very clearly. there is a diplomatic pass forward. it is the choice of president newton and the russians to make whether they are going to suffer severe economic consequences or not. prior to the meeting in geneva, between survey live, rob and antony blank, and there will also be other meetings and consultations that will take place. we know that the secretary of state will also be traveling to berlin. the efforts to de escalate pensions will be discussed. we also know he will be meeting in advance with the president of ukraine zalinski and as well we expect that we will hear more on all of this from us president joe biden, when he holds his press conference at the white house on wednesday. us telecom shines 18 t and the rise and have a grade to partially delay activating their 5 g networks. me some a ports. it comes after. major airlines won't,

could cause catastrophic disruption to flights, but the standoff is on a temporarily resolved. john hanjin reports from chicago's a hey, international ambush. for the 2nd time in 2 weeks, a potential air travel and economic crisis is postponed. as telecommunications giants, 80, and t and verizon prepared to turn on their 5th generation wireless system on wednesday. major u. s. airlines warned that faster phones using 5 g would set off catastrophic flight cancellations and slow the economy to a halt. the largest american based airlines say the 5 g system would ground thousands of planes. the f a is uncomfortable with the safety rules. and as a consequence, the impact on our operations to mitigate that would be a significant setback in a letter to the federal aviation administration and other biden administration agencies. the heads of the major airlines and cargo companies say the u. s. faces

a, quote, completely avoidable economic calamity, and they warn of a major disruption of the traveling and shipping public end to the supply chain vaccine distribution in the broader economy. airlines want a 2 mile buffer around affected airports. they say those 5 g frequencies, the telecommunications company, spent tens of billions of dollars to buy up might interfere with a key piece of cockpit equipment. the altimeter hold radio altimeter help planes and helicopters to land in poor weather. the activation of 5 g potentially leading the federal aviation administration to order planes grounded in low visibility on tuesday. big telecomm relented temporarily. and with obvious peak in a statement 80 and t said at our sole discretion, we have voluntarily agreed to temporarily it for turning on a limited number of towers at certain airport runways as we continue to work with the asian industry. but the company added,

we are frustrated by f a's inability to do what nearly 40 countries have done, which is to safely deploy 5 g technology without disrupting aviation services. and we urge it to do so in a timely manner with verizon following suit that postpone the confrontation between telecom and airline giant once again, but doesn't resolve it. whitehouse policy makers say they're working on a permanent solution. we have the safest air space in the world. our committed to reaching a solution around 5 d deployment that maintains the highest level of safety. united airlines alone says that deployment of 5 g could force the cancellation of 15000 flights, stranding more than a 1000000 united customers. other airlines say you can multiply that several times . john henderson, l g 0, chicago. still ahead on al jazeera. why sciences warry, a penguin? paradise, at the end of the world won't last forever. and 2 of the biggest names in self

voiced the concern about russian forces deployed to valley words, the joint war game. more than 100000 russian troops are mapped on new crime. florida and u. s. telecom james and verizon have a great to partially delay activating their 5 chain networks from airport. it comes off to major airlines, was the role that protocols catastrophic disruption to fly to hong kong now and an activist, known for inspiring coal for independence, has been released from prison at woodland is the 1st pro democracy figured to be released from jail since beijing's crackdown back in 2020, the young man said to have paula popularized the rallying coal. liberate hong kong revolution of our times. in a statement he says he'll now be staying away from the spot life. and treasuring this time with his family. fritz planet has moved from hong kong. we like all the media outlets in the city, had planned to go to the prison at around 9 am when most prisoners are normally

released. but they would have been a huge crowd of journalists. they would have been a police presence, they got him out at around 3 a. m. and by doing so, they avoided a kind of media spectacle that would have ensued. if he had been released at the normal time, he did release his statement saying that he wants to treasure time with his family . he released that statement before scrubbing his social media accounts. he also said that according to the law, ah, he has been ordered to follow supervision of his release, and he will stay away from the spotlight and stop using social media. he also won't accept any interview invitation. now, much has changed since edward lug went into prison 4 years ago. we have to consider that raging infused that national security law in 2020. and the crackdown in hong kong has intensified since then. you'd opposition has mostly been silenced. here, activism has been clamped down hong kong. many parliament now goes ahead without an

effective opposition. many politicians, many of loans colleagues are in jail or indeed in exile. so it's a very different political picture here. while it may galvanized some of in the democracy movement abroad, some that have been moved into exile, it's very unlikely to galvanize any reception here. we do expect the reception here to be rather muted. protest is erected barricades across rows in the sudanese capital concern. following the killing of 7 demonstrators by security forces, a 2 day general strike is in place in response to their deaths on monday. us diplomats are expected incident on wednesday to push the talks to and the political crisis mass demonstrations against military rule having taken place. since october, as coon the u. k. prime minister has denied claims by a former advisor that he line to parliament about a party during the 2020 lockdown. or as johnson says,

he hadn't been warned together and could breach corona virus rules. he's now facing the greatest crisis of his political career with more than a dozen lockdown gatherings held by politicians and this stuff. now under investigation. nobody told me that what we were doing was, as you say, against the rules that the event in question was something that we were going to do something that was into a work event. and you know, as i said in the house of commons, when i went out into that garden, i thought that i was attending a work event. i think it's very important that we see what su gracie, what the inquiry has to say. a former colombian presidential candidate who was kidnapped and held by far rebels for 6 and a half years has announced she's running for the top job again. ingrid bet and coal confirmed her candidacy in a news conference in bug town on tuesday. she was held in the jungle after being

captured back in 2002 when she last ran for president columbia and go to the polls in maine. alexandra ram. p eci has moved from boca tell. denouncement came as a surprise and at a critical time here in columbia, when colombians are deeply apollo, rise the fear a return of violence in the country. they're tired and angry with the political establishment. and at a time that is critical for the peace deal that was signed that in 2016, between the colombian faith and then a fire rebels. and nobody more than ingrid with. and who has came to a symbolized boat, the brutality of the internal conflict, the in columbia and the possibility of reconciliation as she was a presidential candidate back in 2000 in a to when she was a kidnapped by at the clark and held captive of for a 6 and a half years, and in presenting her candidacy here in a bogus path, as she made

a parallel between her personal story and the 51000000 colombians, the live in this country saying that everybody here has a been captive of a corruption of a political mafia as that and armed to groups and said it's time for a change in the country and nobody better than her can promote that change. or he's touchy, i'm here to finish up what i started with many, a few in 2002, with a conviction that colombia is ready to change coast and make an appointment with history and stay. i do it with an extraordinary group of colombians. putting the fight against corruption at the center of her campaign will no doubt approve popular among many a columbia answer, but it's far from certain just how popular actually bit on cour is among voters that we will discover in a coming months. the next step will be

a primary in her centuries coalition in march, but there's no doubt that she is a household name in the country and that her candidate see will revitalize that the centuries coalition known as the center. hope that coalition and shake cap elections an election campaign here in columbia that promises as to be a divisive and contentious. last year, protest is in cuba march, so the straits denouncing the communist run government. they blamed leaders for food shortages, rising prices, and economic hardship. and as theresa by reports, many of the young people that were arrested could now face years in jail. now, these are relatives of a young cuban protester detained during anti government demonstrations last year. a few days ago, police arrested them as they were driving to a trial of their family member in the city of santa clara. before being taken into custody,

they managed to record this message. and at the moment that i am gone by my locker, my locker we're going to be detained. they are not letting us get on the motorcycle we were using. please help us shade this to spread the word of what is happening here. in july, hundreds of people were detained by q one or threes. when people took to the streets to the men, better economic conditions and more freedoms. angry protests against the government have not been seen in cuba in decades. last month trials began for those accused of serious crimes in the euro man lives in one of the poorest neighborhoods in havana . he's 3 children were detained last year. they're now facing between 15 and 20 years prison sentences. so little put in boy your boy or was i know where every one went out because of the noise was if they were going to have a party, but nobody thought they were going to are so severely if they had committed a crime than that could be sanctioned but just as they told us, it wasn't a big deal the number of years they are seeking. it's as if they were terrorists

murderers, human rights group say that government is trying to send a loud and clear message to the demonstrators dollar processor fin alessio. the reason for the trials of the july 11th protest ought to serve as an example for the rest of society. the objective is that in cuba, in any part of the island, people won't go to protests again, while the government says those detained, were violating human laws and look us or to get them away in the, in the cases be seen on television where police cars, but overturn that? it was violence, they attacked our police officers with molotov cocktails, machetes, and stones. know, these require different type of handling or instructions or to treat these behaviors with more severe t because we can't allow it to go with 19 has deteriorated. the economic situation on the communist island, people have been struggling to obtain food and medicines. but the trials show

speaking of it's risky because it means protesters and their relative could end up in jail. very well alice eda, kaz exams, former president and sultan nasa bias has refuted reports. he fled the country in his 1st address to the nation following protests. he has also denied rome as of a power struggle among the political. the late speculation was fueled by a purge of his associates by president custom. german to kind of protest began in early january over an increase in fuel prices and lead to the most violent demonstrations in decades. customers. i'm one of the firewall. he's 2019 i handed over my full powers to president catherine, jo marcus. i have been a pensioner, and since then right now i'm having weller and time off and cause excess capital and i have not left it in full power is in the hands of the president. he's the chairman of the security council. he will soon be elected the leader of the routing

party. there is no contract or standoff among buildings. such rumors are absolutely baseless. software giant microsoft has announced his biggest ever acquisition to become one of the world's largest video game companies. it's a great to buy activision believes from nearly $69000000000.00 and makes some of the world's most popular games, including call of duty world of warcraft and candy crush. prime chris n t a is a video game consultant and owner of pad and pixel is, is the deal comes at a sensitive time for activision, which is facing allegations of misconduct and unequal pain. it's interesting because this is something that's been going on for a little bit on top of that, are the employees, a lot of the employees that activation blizzard are in the midst of trying to unionize. so these are 2 things that obviously microsoft is going to have to contend with and, and figure out how they want to address if the deal goes through. but i don't think this deal would have even been on the table if this hadn't happened. the company was valued, it actually more than what they,

what this purchase price would be about a year ago. but i suspect a lot of what's been going on. it's been sort of eating away at their valuation. so on some level, it's sort of set up the, the ability for this purchase to go through. but again, it does come with all of these issues, including, i think a big one, which is bobby kodak who was, or is the ceo of activision buzzard. others a strong pushed by employees and by even some people play games to have him ousted microsoft hasn't really confirmed on the record that would happen. i know he's going to be running the company through the deal going through. after that, the wall street journal is reporting via some of their sources that you will actually be leaving the company in the nation and pays have passed legislation to move the country's capital from jakarta to a new 30 $2000000000.00. city being built in borneo chicata is one of the world's most crowded and polluted cities is also stinking and is frequently flooded. the

new capital new centera is 2000 kilometers away. the 1st government employees are expected to start working into use. the pierre del flag or archipelago is often called the end of the world, but some scientists is at the center of climate change research. the island group is at the southernmost tip of south america and is shared by chile and tina. it's home to guys use wells and a major penguin colony signed his se, penguin numbers. they have increased because of a lack of serious use the pandemic. but warming temperatures threaten their survival. a latin american editor, let's say newman has the story. what you see behind me is a rare king penguin colony here in the way, who on the tip of south america, the king penguins come here to breed every summer. and they are the 2nd largest

species of penguins after the emperor penguins, which are breeding at this very same time about a 1000 kilometers south. from here in antarctica, these birds that had use this exact area to lay their eggs for hundreds of years, had practically disappeared. from here after scientists and zoo keepers, even people who wanted them as pets captured them and took them as far away as japan. but a big goal they began returning. the science has shown the penguins have a genetic memory and that they always tried to return to breathe where they were born, just to see down the director of the penguin reserve. those 2 days scientists and university mug yanis are here investigating global climate change using the germs found on these penguins feathers of sensors. the reserve was created 10 years ago, which means the penguins could not be touched or moved or harmed. but scientists are warning that both the king and the emperor penguins could become extinct by the

end of the century. and the reason is climate change. the increasingly warming water is even here. words freezing cold are driving fish further and further away, which means that both the emperor and chain tang winds when they go out to try to bring food back to their newborn chicks. have to go so far away that by the time to get back, the chicks have already starved to death. ah, hello, you're watching out here. these are the top stories, this our government of tongue and says people on several islands are being evacuated after most times were destroyed in saturdays or option and send me new satellite images have showing the extent of the damage 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 australia,

new zealand, and other flights, they need to clear the runway latest information i have is that 60 percent of the runway.
