fill when not sure what the length of the modem or yeah, or navy is not strong enough to its found a heavy attack. so i think the coastline could be easily captured. that's my opinion. everyone thinks about a possible invasion through cargo or don boss. that's wrong. if it's necessary to attack those, do it from the see. i don't mind the gym says we have hopes for a better future, but if necessary, we will fight back. but we really hope there will be no attack. and that's what western nations are also hoping for if they step up efforts for diplomacy and dialogue. francis president emmanuel macross speaking to russia's president bloody may push him to clarify his intentions. and in the past hour, the russian foreign minister reiterated that moscow doesn't want a war, but will not allow it's interest to be heart. the us from the europe and union to threaten sanctions on russia and rejected its demand to permanently banned ukraine . from joining nato in a moment will speak to our correspondent natasha butler,

who's in paris. but 1st, let's join toss jabari, who's in moscow? dosa. russia's foreign minister has been speaking with, within the past couple of hours, what you've been saying. well, he's been answering questions from the local journalist here in moscow. and of course, as he started off by responding to questions about the possibility and the threat of war. and the for mr. was very clear about the position from his government and how russia absolutely has no interest in starting any kind of conflict. he also reiterated that the main issue that they have and theirs in their security concerns with nato and the u. s. have not been addressed by the response they receive from the u. s. government. but let's hear some of what else he had to say. yes, this is what the risk if you did, if it depends on the russian federation, we done one war, but we also won't allow interests to be violated. i can say that the negotiations

are over with the americans and nato are studying proposals. ah, the foreign minister also, i specified that if there are any kind of sanctions imposed on the russian government or as the president vladimir putin, that the russians would consider that a move by the u. s. authorities of severing ties with this country. and there's a lot of talk from washington about it sanctioning the north stream to gas pipeline, which is not even operational yet, between russia and germany, as well as possibly a limiting or kicking out russia from the world monetary transaction system known as a swift banking system all these moves are something the russians consider to be a very hostile and if they are actually done in the u. s. carries out on its right to sanction this country. the kremlin will consider that a severing ties altogether with russia. doors so many thanks it down to zeros dawson jibari that live in moscow will bail russian of washing troops will conduct,

joint military drills next month. russia has been deploying extra troops and fighter jets to bill roost in a national address early on flight of friday. belarus as president alexander lucas shanker said that hundreds of thousands of russian troops were ready to defend the country. that would have $20000000.00. yeah. ah another, so will they be war or not? yes, there will be. but only in 2 cases, if direct aggression is committed against bell earth. if a hot war is on least against our belarus. and the 2nd possibility for to happen to have and for beller, is to take part in one is if our ally, the russian federation is directly attacked. if the same aggression is committed against the territory of the russian federation. as we reported a few moments ago, the president of france is speaking to vladimir putin. russia's president. let's go live that paris alters here as the touch of butler is that what do we know about what the 2 leaders are saying in the school?

what we understand from the elite say is the french president to manual michael really has to main aims with this call. the 1st one is to try an appeal person a to the russian president vladimir putin, to take the path of diplomacy and not the path of conflict of the 2nd one is to try and make sure that he gets from vladimir putin. if you like, an understanding of what rushes intentions are with his build up of troops on that border that, that be more transparency for moscow. now we understand that micro make it very clear to us vladimir putin, that if russia was to attack ukraine, they would be very severe consequences. and the european allies and all western allies are on the same page when it comes to that. the initiative of the school we understand comes from the french present and is very much in keeping with his

belief that it is important to talk for a frankly, an openly and directly even to your face. his critics and opponents and micro has always kept open discussions with russia throughout his presidency. he's a believer that you have to keep talking to moscow. you have to keep talking to putin. he's met him many times. he is hosted putin in france. these 2 know each other, and michael was hoping that he can use some of that personal connection in the school. now serious natasha buffalo lives in paris. many thanks. indeed, as russia, this is that he's out from al serra still's come on the program. a police matter offices in london, so they don't want an internal report to interfere with their investigations into the u. k. prime minister. i do not want anyone to go through what i have been put through one man's journey to ensure that migrants held in libby and detention centers are treated with dignity and it's for the pain. the pain players

go through to reach the world cup match and from south american quantify, calling ah, west african leaders will be holding a virtual emergency meeting after the military coup bikini faso. the regional block echo was, has condemned the takeover. but the military leader says that they'll only be a return to what he calls constitutional order. when conditions are right, paul, on read amoeba addressed the nation for the 1st time since soldiers seized control on monday out as here as nicholas hark reports now from the capital. why do haunted by those that didn't survive husband's fathers, but also brothers as young as 12 and 70 year old grandfather's all killed by fighters affiliated to isolate in the northern region of law, whom i had mouse gunman encircled their village and told them all,

it says you've got my me now. the women and children were spared, but carry with them an unshakable fear of their returning. and i cannot go back. their bodies is still lying there, rotting in the ground. following monday school lieutenant colonel barlow, he demi bow made his 1st address to the nation. he put the country on war footing, calling on all to unite and take up arms against arm groups. last good conditions, sir ordered me your knowledge. when the conditions arise, i commit to return to a normal constitutional order and god, fellow citizens, people of the king of foss, or while there are many priorities, is it clear that the main priority remain security? we must inevitably reduce the area under terrorists employ and the impact of violence extremism. by giving security forces the will to fight, and we must be offensive while the beginner has the army suffering many losses despite the support of french forces. this is in okay,

that propaganda video recorded by fighters attacking security forces in, in natal last november. dozens were killed in the rate that provoked a public outcry for what was seen as a humiliating defeat. to me by deposed president, february on monday, accusing him of being unable to defend the country. is in the military camp in downtown walker, do that lieutenant colonel. but he, demi, by his meeting with civil society, actors leaders from the trade unions and members of territories government, the ministers that he was once accountable to are now under his orders. his objective is to rebuild the militaries that they can go from defeat to victory and regain control of law. territory de amoeba had suggested recruiting russian mercenaries help, but president huck cowboy dismissed the idea. but since the 2 russian mercenaries from the wagner group operating in central african republic, and molly say they are ready to help bertina faso tooth. 2000000 people have been

forced from their homes in a country scarred by what feels like an endless spiral of violence. with no peace in sight. a nick charges alive from burkina faso is capital one auto group. nick, what's for the reaction to the cruelly to speech? well here in this market in downtown walker, do there's a lot of questions following that me by speech, while the tone was well received, very different from the deposed present cabaret, who appeared to be meek, even fragile in the face of the threads of armed groups. this was a strong man taking to the stage, beating the drum of war, rallying people to unite, and to fight against the threat of armed groups to the questions here are, who will go to the front line? will it will, will it be the brothers and fathers of people here? will there be sanctions from the west? african body echo was following the who it, how will that affect food prices on the market here?

remember, people have already been suffering on top of the security situation from the economic fall out of the pandemic. now that me but also sought to reassure the international community, saying that he will restore the constitution once they've regained control of the country. and he said he respect human rights and an independent justice system. but bear in mind, this is a military according to human rights group. that is accused of extrajudicial killing, that has a bad record in human rights. so a lot of people here will want to see word into action and especially those heads of states meeting in ivory coast in this virtual meeting to discuss the situation and routine, apostle adrian and given the echo was countries or to a certain extent, a state of turmoil over the over this crew. what is this meeting going to to, to achieve? whoa, that's where they're in sort of

a bind because they're so unpopular among many people where they're here in brick, enough us. so we're in neighboring molly, there's been a protest against this regional body because they impose sanctions in neighboring molly, there's a feeling amongst many, including here in burkina faso that it is an old president club city. the interest of it's of the president themselves instead of the people, but there will want to send a strong message of condemnation, not just for breaking up boss. so in other countries where there's been coup in the region, notably guinea and molly, but most importantly for their domestic audience, that the military belong in their barracks and not at the presidential palace. so they'll decide on an envoy to start dialogue with the military. genta hearing burkina faso. their 1st objective is to see a hawk to mock cabaret being fried and released from detention. they'll be perhaps talks of sanctions, but i don't think anything just of yet. remember, this is

a landlocked country where people already 3500000 people are in need of an urgent humanitarian assistance. there's also, you know, i re coast is dependent on the trade that it has with burkina faso. and burkina. faso is dependent on the trade with ivory coast, notably from the part of abbey john. so it's not in the interest of the region to put up sanctions us right. yet, within the interest in the region is to ensure that there's dialogue with this new leadership in britain boss of adrian, i'll deserve nicholas hoc reporting live there from the kid, a fossil capital water to go into my the thanks and eat police on a rock. so that at least 6 rockets have hit baghdad international airport. the attack caused significant damage to one aircraft, but no casualties were reported. no group has claimed responsibility in the u. k. london's metropolitan police as weighed in on a report that's being prepared by a civil servant into alleged social gatherings at the prime minister's official residence during a corona virus lockdown. officers say they want minimal references to be made about

events that they're investigating, which took place at the height of pandemic restrictions. let's go live that a london out there was andrew simmons is outside number 10 downing street to enter the prime minister's own back benches. according to the grey report to be published in fall and without further delay, any attempt to conceal suppress, crucial details would be wrong. they say. but now the metropolitan police, which had originally said it had no objection to the report being published in full as hit the breaks. what's going on? good question. that there had been expectation not only by politicians, but the british public as well. that this week would see the su gray report published in full. they'd be an explanation of events and there would be names named. and one of them could well have been boris johnson. the prime minister, his job is at stake here,

very much an issue in terms of his own party and also the opposition pressure for him to resign. now this term minimal reference is key. what does it mean? well, it quite possibly means that the main aspects to the su gray at report won't be able to be published at this stage because it's talking about the reference here is to the events the metropolitan police are investigating. now, it's reported that at least 8 parties, events, as they're termed brother, scotland yard offices involved these. these events cannot be referred to in any detail in the grey report will. how can she then make conclusions how she can she name name names. furthermore, it's saying the other events, canby can be fully mentioned and, and not only that, she can go on right into the, the,

the report without any delay from them and bought that. what they're trying to avoid is any prejudice to their investigation. questions here. why was there no explanation of this when crescent a dick, the commissioner of the metropolitan police made her shock announcement on tuesday this week? at why was that no decision made to investigate earlier because they were they. they called it off of krista. dick says that the reason that they are announcing it now is because there is flagrant and serious, which is all cozy regulations involved suspected alleged. now, where does this put su gray? a lot of sources have said that she was concerned with the main key elements to report may not be mentioned. there is now it would appear a move to water, them down all not to publish the report at this stage to purport it later. so this

could really have a big effect on the whole position in terms of getting results. yet, what are the political implications of this with that the prime minister's future while a few days ago appear to be hanging in the balance. what are his options now? i still am hanging in the balance. there are a number of back bench conservative m. p 's, who are unhappy with the way things have been handled. the implications that are, as johnson was at, at least 1234, possibly more of these so called events here. there is a move on to really see what was going to be contained in the, the gray report. it was, according to many source is going to be hard hitting, implicating a number of key figures, whether or not more as johnston's evolved is yet to be seen. but the position would this, if 54 members of parliament rights into the 1922 back bench committee, they then can call

a leadership challenge the vote of no confidence in the prime minister. and also the pressure from the opposition who, who have warned that they, what they were concerned, that this report could be watered down there, demanding that he is in breach of the a ministerial codes and, and so therefore would have to resign. and the report was key to all of this. so this is a major, a development effect of thee and one that cannot any concerning a parliament, but the british public as well as zeros and her summons live in downing street in london. many thanks did enter china's foreign ministry says the un human rights chief is welcome to visit chin jang, but not to officially investigate rights. groups of accused china of wide spread abuses against weak muslims, including torture and forced labor. the foreign ministry spokesperson says the commissioner can visit after the beijing olympics and that the invitation has been extended a long time ago. let's go live that have a chang out to see was katrina. you can tell us more about this. so michelle

bachelor has been invited to paging, but under strict conditions, tell us more that's why it's so according to bay jane the you and human rights chief is welcome to come to china. she is welcome to visit the north western shin young region, but only with one very important pre condition. and that is that this trip is a friendly visit and it's not framed as an investigation. or as china's foreign ministry spokesperson put it as political manipulation. now according to reports or beijing has said that she can come to sion. jung following the end of the winter olympics, which closes on february the 20th. but we have not heard any confirmation as to whether this will go ahead from michelle bachelor's office. who do know 2 things though, the 1st is that she has been seeking what she has described as meaningful access to shin young to observe in person the treatment of the weakened wisdom minority there

since 2018. and secondly, her office is currently working on a report, a much awaited report into the conditions, inch and young that they have not yet released. now despite like confirmation human rights groups are already criticizing the invitation and saying that that she should not accept because this is bound to be of heavily controlled. heavily supervised trip and that there's no way that a michelle bachelor would be able to really authentically or accurately observe what's going on in the region if she takes up this invitation. true to your reporting live there from bridging, katrina, many thanks. dude. at least 86 people have been killed by storm up across south of east africa over the past week. worsted have been malawi, madagascar of mozambique, stephanie decker report. days of heavy rains of drowned out these villages. the power of mother nature more clear from the air on the ground. tens of thousands of

people here in malawi, have been affected many now homeless that i cannot, nancy, i am a waiter home. we've had floss previously, but they never reached here. yes, monta river could overflow, but the people living near it were the only once effected but not asked, living in hilly places. it is only this year that waters have displaced us. oh, some aid is getting through, but the flood waters mean it's still hard to reach remote areas. this floods ah, unprecedented. that's what we're hearing from those that i've been in to wire for all. ah, no money, flat areas where the no money take place. but this time with anna, almost her face of this, the district has how been hate? heavy rains of hit southern africa for around a week now. it's not just malawi. mozambique has been hit hard to caught on camera

by one of the rescue workers. this man had climbed up a tree to escape the fost rising waters and did madagascar flooding his cause. electricity cuts across wide areas, thousands displeased here too, and on it. so it's only a house is flooded with water. it was flooded twice we were already flooded. the other time, but we stayed there, but this time we had to leave because all the mattresses awake and our baby got sick. authorities in our rushing to repair a broken infrastructure and help the 10s of thousands of displaced across these 3 countries. what was good luck with while weather reports predict, there could be more heavy rains to come. stephanie decker al jazeera refugees, migrants detained in libya, have been pleading for their release. it follows a crackdown of the capital tripoli. we met one migrant who is demanding better treatment from the authorities that i'm younger. david oliver, sooner than 5 years old and i'm from south to them. i left them my country view

the civil war off leave year. the 1st cd that i entered was the red yanna east of go for when i met with their trust because. busy they had to kid not mean that hard to detain me. they tortured me somehow or the torture ice cubed. i advanced towards the capital on the way i was met with a couple of detention. i was no fault to take the c has the only option. i'm taking to see knowing that i might draw my mind, but there are noise kit brought when i took the c. unfortunately, i was intercept the the took us to the detention center. the come morning. you wake up on if you lucky, the give you a piece of bread with a piece of or

the moon they're going to be want to change is taking place whilst this looks like it should do really for late january storm system here, just going to western russia, dragging in snow with it, and that's all throughout eastern europe temps aren't exceedingly low here, but they are about to become exceedingly high for the west. this drove a southwesterly as a developing yet no late winter store in the norwegian. seattle give proper winter to norway, huge amounts of snow, but liquid is done to london up to 13 glasgow up to 10 and 12th at 12. these are pretty high temperatures for late january, mind you, the caller is a strong wind coming into denmark. i'm running out through the baltic as well for the south. another load developing we seen water 2 in the last week will be the 3rd, the spinning up now over grease is not quite as cold. the last one, so bit of snow for the height otherwise it's going to be rain. we'll be talking about here is going to keep the focus, i think on libya and egypt for dropping in temperatures and some showers south of that. and this is normal for north africa, the hamas in winds. ne,

3 is become strong recently as if a champion geron nigeria that brown suggests it stronger to pick up the sound of the sandstorm. same is also true. developing here is western side about jerry ah, the jenny, a jenny and one of necessity in 3 different missions than all facing the challenge and driving on nick iraqi with at the mercy of unpredictable tropical with this story of zimbabwe. in her words, history is always told from the perspective of the great man,

whether it's david livingston, all robot, from godaddy. my responsibility is to tell, is involved when story in a way that it hasn't really been told before. ordinary, everyday life was involved with people. i'm writing about patina, kappa, out of darkness my zimbabwe on al jazeera. ah ah. hello, yes, adrian, for the good to hear. so how would you sell from out 0. the headlines, rushes, foreign minister says of the country doesn't want it over ukraine bought the kremlin won't allow its interests to be ignored. so gay level for speaking of the u . s. was that a washing invasion force?

a distinct possibility. west african leaders are to hold a virtual emergency meeting out the military coup. makita faso regional block echo was, has condemned. the takeover. china's foreign ministry says the u ends. human rights chief is welcome to visit chin jang, but not to officially investigate whites. groups of accused china of widespread abuses against weak muslims, including torture and forced labor more not sob story. now the russia, ukraine crisis, u. s. president joe biden, this warned ukraine's leader that a russian invasion is a distinct possibility and that it may happen the soonest. next month, the kremlin has denied that its planning at attack, his diplomat to get it to a james base with a look at whether there still a chance to avoid a military confrontation. hello, in recent weeks, have seen an unprecedented flurry of diplomacy. efforts have intensified as the threat of war grows. a war many believe could now be imminent and very dangerous.

meanwhile, troops, tanks and weapons continue to mess in eastern europe. russian forces surround ukraine, nato is reinforcing its members the board of russia. while some members of the alliance, but notably not germany ascending anti tank and anti aircraft massage to ukraine. so is there now a way to stop this march to war? then you're going, son is a stone years and baset to the united nations. his country is a neighbor to russia and until the end of last year served on the security council . there's always room for control compromise. but the question is, does russia want to compromise? because if you look at the demand that russia has put forward to united states and nato, then just reading through them, it's absolutely obvious that the soul is just nonsense. it's deliberately grafted in a way that there couldn't be any compromise deleda of another nato nation. again,

with a border with russia, norwegian prime minister, yona sca stora has told me despite the difficulties, no efforts should be spared to find a diplomatic solution. i simply state and i observe up now there are talks going on . there's a channel of communication, and i would appeal to those who sit up those tables, use those channels up a maximum. and on the nato side and the euro atlantic side, i believe there is a very strong unity on the principles and very care messages in the communication. not sure, the problem is that russia's foreign minister, so gay lab, ralph has made his country's demands in public and, and in writing. russia says ukraine must never join nato and the poland in the 3 baltic states which will nato members must be allowed to have troops or weapons from other nato countries on their soil, alone and producing and upon. the main question is our clear message that we consider further nato expansion to the east and weapons deployment,

which can threaten the russian federation. unacceptable. one expert on the region warns that can only be a compromise if russia tables a new proposal, something that's more palatable to nato. the best compromise would come in russia put something else on the table that the west was willing and able to provide. if russia looks at the general state of unity between europe and the united states, if it looks the kind of economic pleasures that have been promised in case of an incursion and decided that cost worth it, that the need to maintain business and economic ties to europe is important enough for where russia wants to be in the future that jeopardizing that isn't worth which some experts believe that president putin may not have decided yet whether he's going to invade ukraine. the 1st meeting of the un security council on the current crisis is expected on monday, and russia were looking for the support of china. and that's why some diplomats

believe the russians may wait to launch military action until the event that china has so much about the beijing winter olympics is over. in mid february, james bays al jazeera of the united nations. kinda alondo is chief executive of the sense of european policy studies. he joins us now live from brussels. could savvy with us, is a consensus among european countries in nato allies in how to respond to russia, how harshly to respond to russia. and hill goods are on there, i think. and the way i see it over the last month base the that the consensus is growing amongst european countries. natal level tool hits back are russia, whatever russia does against the crate. i think we have a feeling that no, it has been enough. this game between russia or against the craig has been going on

for 7 years, 8 years with a lot of victims on the credit side, with the annexation of the cream and the downing of this, and playing malaysian airlines also 56 years ago. and no one has a feeling that your mom, you are being countries, they are st. that's enough. and the natal, we see there's a growing concerned that countries which are neutral to davis are not members of like finland, suite one to char nate, or which would be a threat of rush another even that has a growing conviction that we have to go for sanctions the sanction list would be ready, according to the commission president on the course. all the bands hold for the sanctions will go and hope. i mean, hold deviate and reach into russian enterprise, russian society. the thing is that the sanctions i feel we'd love to have to meet with the unanimity of 22nd members. and we know that from that would depend on which example of, from earlier actually going to russia. it is. unanimity is extremely important,

for example on, but i wrote several months to take strong sanctions because there were a few countries against still some countries were using this video which they had to get all the concessions. know, and i've asked the question on tuesday and the base for the higher percent the border. he said that the consensus is there, even a country like hungry or be close to putting wouldn't agree with you. ok for our sense, if sanctions war implemented against russia war form would they take that's amazed that we see that we of course dental and the past again, we have got several forms of sanctioned several countries and be accessed have analyzed the impact of sanctions and ask for example, against russia, etc, very limited. so all the banks on whole, but all the sanctions are and whole world target. there is, for example, a debate to sanction now old payments to miss sieves, payments, messaging system,

and do good of, in this sense all russian bass for all the global payments. but of course, this is very indiscriminate. if you do this, you may do cut off payments for enterprises, relationships rescue enterprises and which of using goods which are very important for your or for example bally for gus, which we that clearly need a little. but you can leave a thought it, since i'm done with, for example, put in an o the people around role oligarchs, which, um, it should be good for dental hygiene, or dr. do a sanctioned or french look there that gets all their family members here wherever they are in. i mean, many of the russian orthodox families are based on those. i have family in best and if you do these things and well target with me, i think you can be good to talk to you sir. manufactured me for being with us. carol. i knew that and in brussels, north korea has confirmed that it testified

a series of ballistic missiles on thursday. pyongyang has carried out 6 launches this month, in defiance of the un security council leader kim jong owned was seen as a factory that state media says, helps to manufacture missiles, young or case, certain associate research fellow at the asian institute for policy studies. he believes that north korea will continue to test weapons until the u. s. returns to the negotiated table. this is the perfect timing for north korea to look for a pressure on the country like as, as coolio or united states and even china as well. i mean there is a blue reason, i think that those pretty hard to do those kind of past us is title with the possible complex in ukraine and the pie one and chinese in the, in the proper and the for the stocks as parental own picks and south korea in the

middle of the presidential election. so this is barry bar, lot over period for those countries. and north korea is using it. there's a lot of talks under going, well, i mean, there's no view to be made. so, i mean, there's no reason for us to, you know, our laker lag last, you know, trunk by as you kim jones out of the summit. i mean there's no buy them. kim, don't. kim. jonathan saw me is coming up. the street here has recorded 98 corona virus related deaths in a single day. it's worst of the pandemic so far. the previous one bay hi was a week ago when 88 people were reports to have died. you cases are leveling off with several large states, hoping that hospital admissions will fall as a result south careers cove, at 19 cases of hit a record for a 4th day. the country recorded almost one, a 17000 new infections on thursday. health experts say that an over con,

driven search could last for up to 8 weeks. the 1st batch of aid to come directly from china has arrived in tonga. the $33.00 ton shipment includes food, drinking water, tents, and radio equipment. but people on the island will have to wait for the aid to be distributed cove at 19 prevention measures mean that everything has to be disinfected and quarantined for 3 days on dearest sworn in its 1st female president, shimaya castro swept the national both in november, promising to restore democratic institutions optimal than 12 years of single policy rule. but a growing rift in congress threatens to derail the new president's political agenda . i'll just here as manuel ra follow reports from the capital o celebrations across the goosey golden. as human against all former 1st lady upon doris was sworn in to become the country's 1st female president. yet either in

a manner he had a man, oh dear sisters and brothers honduran people, the presidency of the republic had never been assumed by a woman in honduras, 200 years have had to pass since the declaration of our independence. oh, city streets, throughout the capital tegucigalpa closed for a parade to celebrate the historic inauguration. many expressed their hopes. the country may finally turn a page after more than a decade of single party rule. more by scandal and political turmoil that a field, a historic wave of migration is, but i'm okay that we hope that she will deliver that which we've been hoping for for years that people will no longer migrate to other countries. that people will stay and have decent employment because we all have a right to that. and it's what a majority of the people expected to stay in their country. nobody wants to be away from their home. and that is what she will accomplish. get dozens of high profile

guests were also in attendance, including us, vice president, carmella harris, who seeks to strengthen a bilateral partnership with honduras to address the root causes of migration from central america. that over this, i think get him into poverty, has increased by 74 percent to turn our country into the poorest in latin america. this statistic in itself explains the caravans of thousands of people who flee north towards mexico and the united states. oh, here in the capital city, a got a fellow draco, inaugurating day, taking place under a backlog of political crisis in the 100 national congress. legislators, however, appear to have at least temporarily put aside the political stand off to allow cities is to celebrate the peaceful transfer of power o presidents. you might, i cancelled ran on an anti corruption platform, promising an overhaul of the country's legal system. her ability to govern

effectively, however, will ultimately depend on finding common ground with her political opponents in the hunter, legislature. manuel rap, hello al jazeera things. he got them. in sarah leo, in a steady rise and inflation is forcing many families to come down on what they eat . situations made was by the devastation caused food production by both the civil war and the a bowler epidemic. i'm serious, i'm an address report start from a capital free town on the struggle for one family to put food on the table. ah mighty cabal, use on a daily commute to the local market to buy food for her families, dinner. she handles, but the vendors refused to budge. so the mother of 6 has to settle for what she can afford. a few onions, pepper, some rising oil. let me family, i know almost hopeless wise. i can't afford to feed my family like i used to previously. i cooked 8 to 10 cups of rice for the family to eat. well,

not any more. no one eats properly these days we eat just a little. she says, prizes have tripled and there is no sign of any reduction. several years economy suffers from financially stability in spanish meant exchange rate fluctuations and corruption. all that in addition to disruptions caused by 3 major disasters. when coming 19 began, suddenly economy was already struggling with effects of a civil war and a ball of virus. those disasters devastated production as quickly as your country. and with rising probably to levels many homeless usa, they can hardly afford 2 meals. despite huge natural resources, one of the country's biggest challenges is how to grow its own food. the release of food imports is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. saroyan, ponts, everything you know, so there is that high demand for, for the next, you know,

i went to demand for somebody's for buy these higher than yours, then the price goes up. you know, there is a simple sin. whenever i did my eyes, mon shows on the seller, the price will never come down. the manufacturing sector heat hot by the civil war, it bowler and covet 19 is slowly coming back to life. but growth is stunted, just as a look of corrosive. de leon continues to wiccan, i guess, major choruses. it is very difficult situation at the moment, especially when the normative prices have increased so much. costs for manufacturers have also risen so sharply that production has decreased as prizes rise. customers like by re cuba are suffering. the effects may decrease al jazeera freetown, sierra leone, just had on these. i had sport, rafael love al,

stays on track for a record of 21st grand slam title for the rest of the days action. with

a whole lou ah, hello again i just before the sports, one of us in australia i have discovered a spooky celestial objects, which they say is unlike any thing seen before. the mysterious body releases a huge burst of energy like clockwork. every 18 minutes, at 18 seconds, the lead researcher says that there are other objects from the galaxy that switch on and off, but nothing with such frequency has ever been detected. let's speak to how now from

perth latasha hurry, walk up, astrophysicist and see the electra at curt university and the international center for radio astronomy research. now, this is fascinating. it's good to have you with us. by the way, tell us more about the, the, the energy that this thing is is releasing. i must say, i think this guy with a radio tele, here in western australia called the next one good to read. and we've been searching the skies, looking at also objects and the distant universe. i sent a student a project to look at things that would be changing in our data. and he found that a brief moment in time for about a minute, every 20 minutes at shines the brightest radius of the sky. so it did releasing an enormous amount of energy. and we think that it could be a long predicted object called an ultra long period maxima. okay,

now is this thing, switching on and off, rather like a light switch or, and one of the graphics we saw briefly. but it is, it's spinning, and we're being called to this burst of energy like up a like a lighthouse beam swings round that try it very much. i her, my house. so i'm, you might be familiar with tulsa there. these neutral styles with very intense magnetic fields. and then she tends to be in the radiation as i spend the radiation over us. and so we see a pulse of radiation. the thing that miss, okay, is that it's spinning at a rate once every 20 minutes. and the pulses are in in time, minute long. so i'm astrophysical, when it's rotating too slowly to produce the radiate, why it say so therefore we think some kind of extremes, x is involved. all right. what do you think it is? well i do have, i'm most of my thoughts are that it's the alter, long period maintenance and area. so that's where we have very twisted biometric

fields being induced by some kind of stop by any chance star. and then as those my granite fields, i'm twist, the object produces radio mission, but eventually as they on to west, it ceases to produce radio waves unless consistently policy it produced a lot of radio in 2018. and now it's faded from view. ok, so it's not doing it any more. this is, this is something that was a, you just happened to be looking at the right place at the right time to see this. yeah, very much. nope, this is a really bright slope is actually a bright, the brightest. so it's a little unusual that but only seeing it now in 2020 the year to focus on. but it's noticed these i think that that's probably quite fresh. but that's not going to stop. what we're planning to do is assess the entire galaxy with an interesting field, right, as often as possible over the next year or 2. and hopefully we'll be able to pick up on it before it switches off. and that'll bring in other telescope all across

the world and indeed in space. and that way we can really figure out what the sun is. natasha. how far away is this thing? how long has this this energy been traveling to us? while the nice thing about our observation is they occur over a wide range of frequency and space actually flows down radio way a little bit more if a lower frequency. so we can look at the arrival time radio way. and we actually see, but it's consistent with being about 4000 light is away. and so that's not too far away. really the galaxies a few tens of thousands like this across. so full back. so my guess is pretty close . and so we think that should be a lot more. admittedly, some are going to be further away. so they're going to make this radiation is taken full 1000 years to get to us. yes, centurylink. okay. so although we only made the discovery in 2020, i guess it was emitted and you know, 2026. that's actually

a really good tool too many thanks. indeed for being with us. natasha holly walker, that from puff time for sport his for adrian. thank you. so watch or one day away from the quarter finals of the africa cup of nations in cameroon. the last day will take off with the whole nation taking on turn ms. debbie tons, gambia and walla cameron, are looking to win the tournament for a 6 time week home rose to reach a last 16 while gambia and knocked out guinea to advance also on saturday. bertina found so take on tennis. yeah. and then on sunday, the big one, record 7 time champions, egypt face the morocco and san ago are up against the equitorial guinea. during the us now live from do all our is football journalists, use your common gucia. karen are facing tournament w times gambia. any chance of an upset there? what is the story of this done on my so many surprises apply at this point and it's

on them and we don't have my, i'll do what the defending champion gotten. but been exciting like that. the gonna be the lowest run is going to make $150.00, but do not, you know, doubt them. they can do anything for cameron, obviously to have be sent because he's the current leading folks for at the one i met with 6 goals and also took what it can be with another 3. so that's enough firepower to sort of, you know, get the job done. however, the gum get they have nothing to lose in this one. the been call me each play at $20000.00 if they can defeat cameron. that's a good much for them. but we'll come here and also playing in the hometown of the legendary jamila. so that should be an exciting story line right there. which team would you say is heading into the quarter finals as a favor? wow, it's been difficult, you know, to predict. i mean,

in december we thought that i was going to go, i'd be outright favorite when the stuff going edition, but it's been a little bit complicated now the whole looking good. not last at home in about 34 years. that's a good regard. if you look at it that way, however the most are not. 6 you know, hope that the african since 1972. so it should be interesting, you know, for coming to go all the way moral i looking also very solid, but they have to be in time. tompkins, egypt, in fact we can be. but then ago, you know, grinding the results in their side. your mind is doubtful that you're on the lions, but they should also be one of the talk to this point. has there been any breakout stars at the tournament so far? for me it would definitely draw lease and garrett he was that came into the tournament as the 2nd choice. go, keep a full i very close to the elephant is playing in a 2nd division seen in south africa, d r. 's. but he's been incredible. he had

a great tournament, he had a great game against algeria and also, i guess, even though eventually they lost the penalties, but he's been really outstanding. he lost his father during the tournament, but he kept the focus and that was enough, but the patients to see him through i hope that eventually he get a better team on the continent or across the wall. all right, you should come again. thank you so much for your time. thank you, sir. appreciate and south american work up qualifying brazil who've already booked a spot in katara where how to withdraw by a team still trying to secure qualification, ecuador after going ahead. early brazil were reduced to 10 men 20 minutes in emerson, given his marching orders, after making a rather bizarre challenge. the ecuadorian finally wore the 10 men of brazil down with felix for is getting an equalizer in the 2nd half. the 11 draw means ecuador sit. 3rd in the 10 team group,

top 4 automatically qualify for cats are 2022. argentine i've already qualified for cats are 2022. they beat chilly to one. it's a damaging result for the chileans who sit outside the qualifications spots in 7th . their best hope is likely to be finishing 5th and qualify for an intercontinental playoff. robin, a dell is now just one, went away from winning a record breaking 21st grand slam title. he's in to the finals of the australian open b 35 year old or became a spirited fight from italian, southern san mateo. bert baron, etc. they're winning the 1st 2 fat baron as he came alive to take the 3rd fad, but after a grueling battle on court, the world number 6 close at the match in 4 sets. dal is currently in a 3 way tie with no back jock mitch and roger federer with 20 grandson titles. now play the world number 2, daniel med mendez and the final for maids all about. so it's all about us and i

know, but more than anything else now it's just an amazing job. as i said a couple of days ago, and i have been a little bit lucky doing my career with so many injuries on the and all the times outlet, amazing finals with good chances against all right. 2012 against roger. 2017. i was close a couple of times, i feel very lucky that i won. one's in my area 2009. but i never thought about dental returns in 2022. so and the i'm a, the golden state warriors continued their hot winning street. they beat the minnesota timber walls for their 4th street when it will be crowned all star steph curry scored a team high. 29 points in the game while clay thompson, who also received his very 1st all star badge and 23 to leave the warriors 212-4215. when golden state has won the last 5 at is 6 games. okay. and that is all you support for now. back to you, adrian. pharma, thanks for the phone. i will be back of 13 hours,

gmc with another usa next up here. when i was here repeated over his will to issue a, c, e. o. ah, and the latest news they live in, it's truly harsh conditions and for 10 years they was the victims of an i just most people got to be monetary in prices with detailed coverage warnings that oh, micron fractions selling power large powerful for 5 with a polygon daft here from around the world on house people, years of living on the street actually accelerates the aging,
