child with band opposition. party leader camera soccer reviews for the u. s. as the cases politically motivated, i scored my 1st. naturally goal was not only when i was 1st, but it was the, the winning goal, the n h l owners 1st black lab, the boston bruins or be team retire. we're reason number 22 jer. ah, so new images have reveal the scale of destruction and tongue following saturday's volcanic eruption in tsunami lodge part to the pacific nation covered in ash, the governments had several small islands where nearly every home was destroyed, a being evacuated, we target and b as this 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 a stroller, 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, he says it will be weeks before the connection is restored. prime minister, so you see, so will 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 is a $170.00 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. that kind of stuck through it now. and so when am that 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 here to start to the volcanic ash, this can then make acid rain. this is how tongue this pool looked at the end of december. in the latest satellite picture is the area is smothered in gray ash. dozens of homes on the main island of tongue, a tap who have been severely damaged or destroyed. what tong a desperately needs now is help from other countries. the volcano has stopped spewing ashby, now giving a team of $200.00 volunteers. a chance to sweep the runway with most now played. it's hope the 1st 8 flights will be able to land as soon as thursday, victoria gay to be al jazeera. all right, my name is doug's her naval base in oakland in new zealand where a supplier is being sent to tara. is there

a way that the picture is becoming old to clearness, pretty desperate situation, but really supplies all now on the way. yes, it's right. those 2 new zealand naval ships have left they left on tuesday. it's a journey that's expected to take around 3 day. so we expect that those 2 ships will arrive in tang and waters. some time on friday, the carrying the usual sort of supplies, food, fresh drinking water, medical supplies, and shelter kits as well. crucially, also one of the ships has a complete dissemination plant on board. so while it's in tom and water's, it will be able to manufacture more fresh, clean drinking water. and as you heard in that package, then that with so much ash around getting access to clean drinking water is a big problem right now. and we'll continue to be so in the days and weeks ahead, so those ships will be welcomed by the tongue and government. it wasn't

a request that was made formally by the timeline authorities, which is usual in this sort of situation. that is the protocol when there is a natural disaster like this. perhaps it was an indication of just how difficult communication has been, but the new zealand government decided to deploy anyway. and in the last few moments we've heard from the new zealand ministry of foreign affairs saying that the tongue and government has now accepted that those ships can arrive. but crucially, they're saying that any aid supplies have to be delivered in a contactless fashion because a complicating this whole thing is coven 19 tongue has had just one case of cov, at 900. since the pandemic began. and that was in october last year. so they're in a desperate situation now because of this, the rupture and the last thing they want is covert 19 going into those community. right. and all that go. what is the latest situation on talking as far as we know?

yes, well again, communication still is the big problem. we're being fed some of these images as you've just seen coming out the show complete devastation on some of the islands. and again, communication is the main problem. in fact, it took until tuesday for the tongue and government to be able to get out some sort of formal statement. and it was in that statement that they said that this is an unprecedented disaster. and they talked a lot about communication difficulties as well. that they have not been able to get in contact with some of the outlying islands, so they're really not sure exactly how badly some of them have been affected. they did highlight the case of mango island to the north of the main island. only has a population of around 50 people. every single home on that island has been destroyed. there is no internet coverage at the moment because that undersea fiber optic table has been completely cut off and at least one place. so that is another thing that these new zealand naval ships will be able to assist when they get there

. exactly how bad the damages beneath the c caused by this volcanic eruption. so it certainly is a desperate situation and will know more certainly in the days ahead is more reports coming from some of those outlying islands or are waiting thanks about when have naval base in oakland. in new zealand makes a lot at least 10 people have been killed and hundreds displaced by flash floods in the capital of madagascar 20 districts run high level. the forecast is warning of more severe weather in the coming days. heavy rain cause land slides destroying several homes. the white house is warned that russia could attack ukraine at any moment. it's also the voice concern over the deployment of russian forces to bela routes for joint war games, further beefing up rushes military assets, new ukraine. yes, sector, state tentative, blinking is due to hold talks with russia foreign minister. so gay lover of geneva on friday. whitehouse cross when it can be how kit is more, what the secretary state is expected to say those tools while 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. believes 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 up to an activity on social media that seems to indicate that an attack may be in it. our views, this is an extremely dangerous situation. we're 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 putin 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. yes, telecom john say t and t and verizon have agreed to possibly delay activating that 5 g network. net some apples. this comes off to major airlines wound that could cause catastrophic disruption to flights that stand off is only temporarily resolved. john 100 reports now from chicago's ahead. it's the next level for the 2nd time in 2 weeks of 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 found using 5 g would set off catastrophic flight cancellations and slow the economy to a halt. the largest american based airline 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. face is 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 defer 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 postpones 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. i select herron out. there are the active as to popularized the pro democracy rallying call in hong kong becomes the 1st to be released from jail. and they vanish from iraq nearly 20 years ago. now these need to talk about to head ah you cannot of missed the story of extreme snow on the eastern side of the u. s. nissan canada. because that real kodak came up against its rival, the wall must have. hm. you get explosive results that you probably know about half mattress. no fell in toronto. it's been the 2nd snow. yes. day on recording nato was more stout. come for all to use inside of canada or the wind that follows is

a cold ones to be or lake effect snow for toronto, for example, in the us, it's more case of a feels cold is more like the rain than snow because the breeze is now coming up from the southwest, nevertheless, proper wind. as you can see, that's on its way through then following it really cold air. look at these temperatures is a high temperatures on wednesday in, for example, kansas minus 4 in kansas city. the average is about places here. well below the average and say will happen eventually on the gulf coast, that cold air really penetrates in a feeling of unpleasantness. and the line of blue here, which suggests rain backed up by snow, could well be torn attic. all this time, the pacific coast have been more rain or snow limited to washington and probably british columbia. now that cold out it reaches the caribbean means a few shafts. and bahama, for example, added lint hauled stuff in nicaragua in brazil has been wet. but in montevideo, in uruguay, which still continues. ah,

stepped beyond the comfort zone. where assumptions are challenged, traveled to the ends of the earth, and further experience the unimaginable of the people who live it is probably the most extreme situation i've been involved in. how quickly things contract award winning documentaries that alter perception. witness on al jazeera lou. the color daniel, once you remind about top stories is

a make. government of tongue says people on several islands are being evacuated after most homes were destroyed in saturdays interruptions and su nami, new satellite images have shown the extent of the damage. the white house is warned, russia could attack ukraine at any moment. voiced concern about rushing forces deployed, fellers for joy, wargames, more than 100000 russian treats remarkable. ukraine's border us telecom giant h n g, and rising. have agreed to possibly delay activating the 5 g networks near some airport. it comes off to major airlines warned. the rollout could cause catastrophic disruption to flight or less return to the top store in the destruction on toner. we can speak now to lizzie leaches head of cooperation that the national committee of the red cross joins us live from suva in fiji. let's the 1st up gives an idea of the scale of the disaster and immediate priorities and

well, thank you. yes, i mean, i know about as much as everyone else does information starting to trickle in from satellite imagery, from surveillance, flights, taking place and from limited contact with people in a moment. so the devastation is widespread shore. and i mean, it was one of the most catastrophic volcanic eruptions in decades if not century, so it, it wide spreads devastation. i mean, luckily the loss of life has been limited so far that we know we still the details are not all in on that. on the smaller islands, i didn't in 2000 and such as these. what are the kind of problems that you foresee? what problems lie ahead and what are you trying to mitigate against and what needs to be brought in? well, the, you know, the major challenge that we've all been casey is the complete cut off for,

you know, communication lines. so that has really limited a lot of of proactive, a distributions and also, but the ash on the, at the airport of the landing strip. so the number of inhibitions that are now being addressed and communication is partially being restored at the moment. so we were fortunate to contact our team hunger red cross contacted us finally to say, and so the, this is very, we're very willing to hear that they can well and they've been very working in the last, right. yes, communications big problem that that's on the see cable is going to take weeks to repair and the a t f undecided further complicated by the coven situation. tanya is almost unaffected by cove it up until now. this is one case in fact, but now you have all these potential aid workers go into the island and very probably bring it in well,

that's always the risk and i know the red cross request movement. we have specific protocols that we haven't really intensified. so that we provide a, we would provide a very, very image list. we take all the precautions possible and so the longer red cross team on the ground, there are practices that we put in place for that. but yes, you're right. i mean, opening up like if, if they'll have to do it in a very careful way pregnant. and of course, an important part of any mission like this is those who live outside of tongue, but have loved ones who live on the islands and try to make those connections and reassure them. well, that's right. and so at, at red cross we offer such a service, it's called restoring family links. and we haven't been able to offer it the last couple of days and saturday because there has been absolutely no communication

including satellite phones, which we often rely on. they were not very functional because of the ash cloud. so now the contact and communication by satellite phone is starting to be more predictable. we're in talks with hunger red cross immediately to set up this restoring family program. what this entails is they have satellite phones on the ground, you know, and they have 3 satellite phones, the trunk, rick ross. and they're able to just utilize those in the community and provide to minute calls for families to contact their loved ones abroad. so as you know, there's a lot of times living surrounding the feelings and elsewhere. i haven't heard from their family member. we wish you well with the 8 of the lead from the internet community to red cross the appreciate your time. thank you. the trees and try live. cambodian opposition leader comes oka,

is resuming after 2 year delay proceedings began in 2020. but we're postponing due to the current of ours. pandemic and soccer is accused of conspiring with the us to overthrow the governance of who said he was arrested in 2017 and banned ahead of the election. the following year for louis is holding the case from quote number and joint live florence. how do you see this trial proceeding? well, come, so i have denied all charges against him. now, rights activists, the u. s. embassy, have described the trial against him as politically motivated. the purported evidence is based on a selectively edited video recording of a speech that he gave in 2013, and many have called for charges against come, so car to be dropped. but that's unlikely to happen. prosecutors have had 2 years to consider this case. it's been postponed for 2 years because of the corona virus . there is no indication that charges are going to be dropped, but even if they were to be dropped come. so ca will not be able to return to

politics because he has been banned from all political activities. now effectively little to no political opposition in cambodia shortly after cam. so car was arrested in 2017. the commodious supreme court ordered the dissolution of his party, the commodious national rescue party or c and r p. and many of the see in our peace senior leaders fearing arrest, fled, cambodia, and their lives. many of them are now living in exile, but they're still being targeted by the government. they have been mass arrests of many see in our p, leaders and activists. some of them were charged and sentenced in absentia giving, given long jail sentences. some of these trials are still ongoing. now, activists say that the prime minister, who incent who's ruled the country for nearly 40 years, wants to remove all political opposition and any challenge to his position as leader of the country. especially considering that the country is heading into

local elections later this year. and a general election showed you for 2023 or 4. thanks for the reporting that. thank you. in hong kong, the night of his known for inspiring cools for independence as be released from prison. edward lee young as the 1st pro democracy, figured to be released from jail since by james carter in 2020 1000000 said to popularize the rallying coal liberator, hong kong revolution of our times in the statements. he said he will now be staying away from the spotlight and spending time with his permanent brit clements has moved from hong kong. we like other 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 that would have been a police presence. so they got him out at around 3 a. m. and by doing so they avoid 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, 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 was, except any interview invitation. now much has changed since edward long went into prison 4 years ago. we have to consider that fading infused that national security law in 2020 and the crackdown in hong kong has intensified since then. your position 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 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. a former colombian presidential candidate who was kidnapped and held by falk rebels to 6 and a half years has announced she's running for the top job again. ingrid but in call it confirmed her candidacy at a news conference in bogota. on tuesday, she was held in the jungle after being captured in 2002 when she lost ran for president. iraqi officials have gathered in new york to mark the re pratt creation of ancient artifacts, a gold bowl from the 8 centuries just one of the items stolen from an iraqi museum in 2003, investigate a say it was looted and eventually trafficked by iso only to reappear in new york in 2020 museums are facing scrutiny. ownership of the art, especially pieces looted from conflicts. hence almost hierarchies. when now they saw the statue of saddam fall down. everybody was elated, where i was, you know, happy as can be. and then the background music was looted,

total dejection, where really is if our, our, our solvent in my late boy people cried i. so this is really important to us, you know, where country, very old, very old country, long history, multi layered history. and so if you look at what the rocky comedy people are trying to do is to preserve this history contrast out to what isis did when they occupied any of their cities. the thing, it's a big concord. first thing they did is they want to have the race, everything that showed the history of that it's identity, it's, it's, it's specificity. we don't wanna. now the us national hockey league is wanted its 1st black player. when the i re, he broke the leagues racial barrier in 1958 with the n h l continues to face

accusations of racism. players and staff are still overwhelmingly white high. did your castro as this africa? martha? that many. oh you never know what? by the way, he says old on the ice, i scored my 1st nationally goal. it was not only my 1st, but it was the winning goal. but as the 1st black player in the national hockey league in the late 19 fifties, canadian born willie, a re endured racist chance from the stands and segregation on the road in separate restaurants, was to meet you to say different hotels. yet use different restrooms, deaf wraps are thrown his way. fans were leaning over the board from bureau to sticks like, you know, every single point. it was like going through a gauntlet of hey, the 16th later, 86 year old, a re is recognized in the hockey hall of fame. and on tuesday, his former n h l team, the boston bruins,

retired his number to honor him as one of their greatest players of all time. i will never forget how my teammates, in the bronze locker room accepted me as one of their own. this was a time when some of the fans and opposing players were not ready to see a black man in the n h l. o rees career and heart, you spend a 20 years playing with the bruins and in the minor leagues. and while he became a public symbol for civil rights and inclusion, he also faced a private challenge. he was secretly blind in one eye. i told myself, willi, forget about what you can see and focus on what you can see. oh, really any health, diversity ambassador or more than to jackie visiting with canada? pulling him and firing 14

year old daria's nichols is among the many young players who've met a real. he says, while he continues to encounter racism in hockey, he looks to his mentor for help. i've heard kids call me in word. i've had kids. just come at me for no very reason. also, all the things he's been through and all the things i'm going through a pre pre the same and i feel like i have to be like him just now worry about it. we the n h l remains 90. 7 percent white and has been criticized for being slow to respond to the black lives matter movement. but i'll re says the league has come a long way since his trail blazing path using the way for those who followed. how did your castro al jazeera, the software giant microsoft has announced his biggest ever acquisition to become one of the world's largest video game companies. it's great to buy activision blizzard for nearly $69000000000.00. it makes some of the world's most popular games in court, including call of duty, world of warcraft and can be crush. in did
