gabriel is on the giants live from new york gave. has it shaping up show us where you are? well, it's cold and it's a lot of snow coming down. and we're in the heart of times square in new york city and i'll step out so you get a scene of how much snow is falling here. this is blizzard conditions in part of new york and part of the northeast of the united states. as you can see, there are lots of people that are out fighting or, or braving these elements if you will, to get a glimpse of this pretty rare scene. i mean, we get snow in new york in the northeast every winter, but this is particularly a big one. and so a lot of tourists that are in town, and there are some are coming out to sort of get a view of this in the, one of the most, i conic parts of new york city. this is here in new york. they're expecting, we're expecting about 15 to 30 centimeters of snow as the day progresses as we

are in the really the eye of this blizzard like conditions here meteorologist are calling this one of the largest snow storms that we're expecting for many, many years. but it's not just here in new york, it's all over the north east of the united states. and there's about 70000000 people in the northeast that have received text message alerts that they are in the eye of this storm. it's expected at last throughout saturday. and were literally worried about potential storm surge in some parts of close to low lying areas. and as you heard there from the mayor of new york and it's governors and mayors all throughout multiple states in the northeast saying, stay off the roads if you can. because this, this potentially could be a very dangerous storm there already thousands of flight cancellations throughout

the northeast of the united states. and it's having a domino effect throughout, throughout the airline system. but it's called the temperatures here right now in new york city are minus 9 degrees celsius and it's suspected to go down in temperatures a day goes on. a 30 centimeter dump of snow would be bad enough, gay, but then they'll be an issue with it might be more than that because if areas localized areas where it will start drifting and then after that they'll be a big thor. so they must be worried about say, public transport systems can't run because there must be a risk of flooding at some point when the temperatures begin to rise. yeah, that's right. the public transport is a problem just here in new york city. the metro, the subway i should say is still running as of now, but the mayor said they could potentially close that if need be. a lot of the

public transport has been shut down. for example, rail lines, the amtrak between washington d. c. boston shut down the ferry system here in new york city, shut down. and what you were mentioning as a good point is because eventually all this snow is going to melt. and when it melts becomes water and water is flooding. and especially in low lying areas. but in the city and in low line areas, that is going to be a problem that flooding area, particularly in massachusetts on gary such as cape cod, those low lying areas, really worried about flooding there. and i'll leave you with this. they're talking about as much as 30 centimeters of snow in parts of new york, boston. they're talking about 60 centimeters of snow. that's 60 centimeters of snow or more. and that would make it. one of the biggest snow falls in nearly 45 years. let's see if that holds up, but boston is right in the middle of it. but here in new york,

obviously you can see a lot of snow here as well. ok, gave anything, stay close, they will give it as under there. and the crew on the ground in time square in new york pursued diplomacy, but to prepare for conflict, that seems to be the approach. the u. s. is taking over ukraine. us president joe biden thing, he'll soon be moving a small number of us soldiers to native members in eastern europe. people near the border with russia say they've been living with the threat of invasion for years. his order. how to how bill i meet it's in the villages of eastern ukraine, that the impact of the conflict is felt the most. victoria is worried about the long term effect it could have on her chill, grim, real house is just on the line of contact. hearing gunshots and loud banks has become part of daily life. a difficult situation for a parent, especially when she says is little sign of any help coming love. so no household

there with, with no where to go. the drivers rely on sharing food to eat and use makeshift toilets and showers again divine ok. that is. and we go into the city by a few things and split them among ourselves for good people near by. give us a little bit of food, whatever they tend to do to help. even if it's a little right now we have a bathroom and a shower that they sent for us, but we have to pay for it. a similar problem has been a 2nd drivers on the northern border of chile, where they also face long queues. under johnson, this is becoming a real problem. the authorities are the presidents, have to take care of this row after row. these truck drivers are forced to wait in close quarters during a pandemic for a test they need to finish their job. leah harding al jazeera truck drivers in canada have been protesting in the capital city ottawa against a corona virus vaccine mandate. convoys have converged on the parliament. new rules

real time data on the air tax movements. i phones have a feature that can alert a user if an unknown air tag is detected. moving with them overtime. julie westby is chief executive at global cyber risk. she says apple should have released a detail, safety guide much sooner. they didn't want to come out with something that would scare people about the product. number 2 there, there were cases of misuse and that raised awareness. and the 3rd i think is that there's just been a huge leap in awareness about surveillance with a all the pegasus i'm in as oh, i see why where that has been sold and used by governments. now there's been a lot of recent government actions around the world and different countries against journalists and activists. is that all the now and more awareness of misinformation, disinformation, campaigns on social media. everybody is much more aware of privacy risks than they

were a few months ago even. and so i think that that probably has propelled also apple wanting to be a good company to put out something to help with users protect their privacy and not have this device been misused. so it's a good thing to do. it may be a little late, but my guess is they didn't really see the need for it until the last several months. there is a convenience, but there's a risk factor and it's balancing that. and i don't think people have a good understanding yet of the balancing. so this, the guide is a good idea a, but people need to be much more aware and read the guide. and i think about the all the ways that this device could be used if in fact they want to try to use one of them now. so suit sites in france over the price of a beget the usually cost about a dollar at the bakery. but one french supermarket chains selling the bread for
