have to be brought to the table they have to matter. we have to start to talk about the see here. we will challenge the conventional wisdom up front. on al jazeera, emergency services across bank hope are receiving 60000 a snake related colds a year. the reason why we found more snacks in house is just a question for expansion about the city. they don't have a choice because their natural habitat isn't there anymore. there's one place in the homes of the city where they're welcome. they're coming out now with a king cobra, which is the largest venomous snakes in the world. this is one of the few places where they milk. the event of this is the red cross snake bomb. a regional hub, the and t been in production below the center produces enough antique venom to most of south east asia. there are some parts of the world where supplies desperately showed. ah,

china's communist policy begins a week long congress to appoint its leaders with president. she didn't peng boys to secure a. a at the toll ah, m nora kyle, this is al jazeera, alive from doha, also coming up calling for change demonstrations take to the streets across to nicea, pushing for the president and his government. to step down. jackie as president pays his respects to the victims of a mining explosion that killed 41. what has and we're in cia where scientists are working to ensure commercial ships. don't collide with wales? ah,

ah, china's ruling party has begun. 20th and national congress against a backdrop of mounting challenges for the world's 2nd largest economy. president, she didn't ping as expected to be chosen for an unprecedented 3rd term as leader of the communist party. he told delegates in beijing they are meeting at a critical moment for china. chim. in fiji, we have pursued reform at a swift and steady pace. i made solid progress and developing a people's democracy and advanced law based governments across all fields of endeavor. we have developed an advanced socialist culture and have ensured improved public well being as a matter of priority and pulled resources to wage a battle against poverty. or asia brown has covered political developments in china extensively, and he joins us now from great down in new zealand agency, jim ping all that set to secure this historic 3rd term through levels of power.

we've not seen since mounts a dong times. what has he done? to become this powerful well laura, i think a century he has been able to eliminate all rivals through what is really been a remorseless anti corruption drive that may have affected actually up to 4000000 people. now they include many high profiles, sculpts people at the very apex of chinese politics. now, 10 years ago, as you will recall, because we were both in beijing at the time, covering the communist party congress in 2012 that brought teaching ping to power. the party was in serious trouble. it was besieged by scandal. and she's mission has been to make the party fit for purpose once more and he sees himself as the only person who can do that. so this anti corruption campaign has been very effective in helping him solidify and consolidate his power. now today at this national people's

congress in beijing, he portrayed himself very much as a humble servant of the people. but in reality, it is, he and he alone, who now controls the communist party. the president cheating ping's grip on power would now appear absolute. if he has enemies, then they're hidden or unknown, or both. but some of those who chronicled, she's curious, say, you don't get to the top of chinese politics without the eliminating rivals and making enemies. he does, but it needs to be said that the congress has an act of state pageantry. the fact that this congress is happening means that these rivals have already been largely pushed to the sidelines after becoming communist party chief a decade ago. she vowed to route out dishonest officials, both high ranking tigers and low level flies. the campaign went down well with the

public, especially when it in snared powerful and wealthy figures. bocce eli was the rising star of chinese politics. even tip as a future president. but within months of he becoming leader bo was serving a life sentence for corruption and abuse of power. no one was untouchable, including john kang, the man who would be in charge of state security. he's also serving a life term for corruption and disclosure of state secrets, and the purge is not over and more than 4000000 people have been caught up in it. so it's been a very effective tool, procedure paying to both instill discipline within the communist party, but also clamped down on his rivals. other analysts say the continuing campaign against corruption ahead of this congress would ensure that she strengthens his hand over appointments to key decision making bodies. she has let china per

decade now he's expected to end precedent by being appointed to a 3rd term as party chief. so having seized control of the chinese communist party seizure, then seize control of china and china has become a lot less free, a lot more aggressive, far less open than it was. 10 years ago. it's an accumulation of power unseen. since chairman, man, oh, i know liter, since him has built a personality cult as strong for asian, as we've already seen is she's in pain, has exerted his influence over the policy and over at the life of many chinese what direction is he taking the country in well, i think the 1st step pushing ping after this party congress ends is to ensure the key loyalists are appointed to the important decision making bodies like the

politburo stanley committee. let's assume laura that he leads china for another 10 years in 2032. he'll be $79.00. that's just a year older than president biden. and i think during that time president, she wants to lead a china that is not dependent on the west for technology or vaccines. he wants a china that is militarily strong enough to stand up to the united states over taiwan if it has to. he wants a pure, a china, china, that it's not hooked on western culture beholden to western values. he once overall, most importantly, more party control not less in business, especially when it comes to new technology. i think times indeed agent brown, thanks very much feel insights. q now protests have been held inch in his ear as people struggle to cope with the deteriorating political and economic situation. their thousands turned out for rival opposition. group rallies and renewed calls

are present kai site to resign. joy jason b reports ah, crowds gathered in the center of tunis make youth president chi psi aid of corrupting democratic institutions and wanting absolute power. if i knew i came here today because of the queue and the miserable conditions, the country is entered, i, there is no water or milk, no sugar and no petrol. and we have a president who is only interested in power. the 2 parties organizing the protests have long been bitter rivals. now both are focused on the fight against side age leaders of the national salvation front coalition and the free constitution party urchin indians to boycott december's parliamentary elections. ah, i don't see. i mean that the tunisian people who fought 50 years for democracy will

not allow this crew to settle the extreme extent of mismanagement, incompetence and failure. at both rally's protest is called on said to quit enchanted the people want the fall of the regime. the slogan of the 2011 revolution which spark the arab spring, people are getting really quite frustrated for those 2 counts. those ones who are fighting for democracy and those are just fighting for kind of bread and being able to live about a life and know what they got to put on the dinner table at night. the government hasn't commented on the latest protests side says he's working to improve the economic conditions inherited from his predecessors to that end, the changes in government is just secured. a 1900000000 dollar loan from the i m f . but these protest is say they won't give up, they don't believe the ring vote will be free. all fair. they say i eat, has too much power. and democracy is in danger. victoria, gate and be out is there are people into care, a warning,

friends, i eat and drink with that the weekend, they all had dreams. they all had families. some were married, some were single, the turkish president treasure type as on the visit at the survivors and pay tribute to the workers. little bit the dominant. of course, we will determine how the explosion happened and whether there is anyone responsible through administrative and legal investigations. we no longer want to see deficiencies or unnecessary risk in our mind. the mind belongs to the state own turkish hard cool enterprises. because a friday explosion and the coal mine behind me is still under investigation. whatever the come to kid does not have a good face to record, particularly in coal mining. despite the fact the number of accidents has been decreasing in recent years. 8 years ago, 301 people were killed in the nation's worse coal mining disaster,

which occurred in the western town of soma. was that all the site used to in place 6000 workers. now the same production is carried out by $700.00 workers. we will see the same things if there is no effective investigation and inspection to turn penalties are required. mistakes by state company cannot be forgiven. the rescue operation has now ended, but many here fear, unless additional precautions are taken. similar incidents might take more lives in this coal rich region, sienna, because all the al jazeera, missouri, northern 30th. so it has here on out there, on the case. the chancellor admits mistakes were made in tackling economic crisis and one's more difficult decisions ahead. and we feel that applies to people in nigeria have lost everything they own due to floods. ah

minister, less trusted under pressure to keep, had job after making you turns on 2 major policies. if i had had chancellor on friday replacing him a jeremy hunt, he is admitted that trusted scraps tax plan was a mistake and warner that difficult decisions lie ahead. and you simmons reports from london financial and political chaos, a prime minister refusing to quit. but the u. k media aren't alone in st. time is up for liz. trust, her sacking of her chancellor and friend quasi quoting on friday, and her dismal performance in a news conference afterwards failed to calm the market. i now at rest with the new occupant of the chancellor's office at number 11 downing street, jeremy hunt, to turn things around on his 1st morning in office. he was critical of what trust has done so far was a mistake to cut the top rate of tax at a period when we were asking everyone to make sacrifices. and it was

a mistake to fly blind and not to back up. the economic plans that were announced with an independent forecast from the office for budget responsibility. while hunt says he supports growing the economy. he's talking of increasing some taxes. the only cuts will be on some of the spending. ministers and party grandees would normally look to number 10 for solutions and tactics. not now. it's number 11, jeremy hunt, the 4th chancellor. in a matter of a 100 days, he's got a strong background and it would appear. he has a mandate to rewrite large parts of important government policy, summoned the conservative party, say, trust has become a lame duck prime minister because she's appointed hunt. he is the dominant figure in the government. i mean, you could imagine, can you, if you asked to take on that role, the concessions that you would demand in order to do that. and it would have to be,

you know, your control over economic policy, over personnel, over key committees, whatever the conservative party does, it can't afford to trigger an election. one new polls suggests it has less than 20 percent support. the opposition labor party is rallying its members, whatever they say. now, whatever they do, it boils down to one argument for them. it party 1st country, 2nd advance, unforgivable the case with a double bond. this trust is at the prime minister's country residence for the weekend. battling to save her job, jeremy hunt spent most of saturday with his treasury teams working on a formula. he might be able to tame the markets, but may not save the prime minister. andrew simmons al jazeera london, iran's government says a fire that broke out at the even present in toronto has been brought under control

fleeing from rising water levels threatening. that was for nearly 3 weeks, it's been while angelo b and her family called whole times. she says are tough for everyone. then she had one bag of place, 2 bags placed a little what is a look of admits each by media and the forecastle, friends, and whiting. good me. some of the media that could also be trust issues. the big you was them. but by to them that does my to that will got 5 by 5, my boy good to do slow going with community every 3 finish. many areas that completely cut off on the feet of the residence to la norm. one of the biggest challenges of delivering it to victims of quite a number of state is the level of water to it says the flood that is legal sign it's receiving. but that's not the only concern here. quite as of the pulled the

offer separatist movement also active in this area. that is set to be a reason why some officials are staying away. there isn't a lot of national emergency management juicy, which caused or car. i mean, the number of sticks is walking along with the manager, air force do it or reach out to some of those communities. a delivery generally has been slow on the night. great victims are concerned, but by the time help arrives. it might be too late for so i'm a decrease ology sierra at godaddy. man has died after severe flooding on the greek island of crete. strong winds and heavy rains fastened the coast on saturday. most of the damage occurred along the town of gear palostio. the victim was trapped in his cars. the c wilshire's race was not clear how many people may be missing or left away. he knew it all happened within seconds. i don't know how long it was

happening. we just barely managed to get everyone out when the water had reached up to their shoulders at the last minute because everyone was sleeping and they had no idea what was happening. santa's, until i am trying to stop ships from hitting whales. commercial shipping is the leading cause of death amongst the species, but a new initiative could help manage the underwater traffic. alas, in america, as to liz anymore, reports from santiago in chiles, pacific and unassuming navy boat takes it, prized cargo to be deposited of the gulf of corcovado. it's not just any boy, but when equipped with state of the art artificial intelligence software that can detect and identify different species of whales in these pristine patagonia and waters a akees, i want to think went bad. mike, we know that here we can find the largest concentration of to wells that come here to feed every summer. these animals are the largest on our planet,

yet they are vulnerable, particularly to maritime traffic. collisions with large ships is the number one cause of death of these wales according to scientists. now the new technology called leads or, or listening to the deep ocean, can pinpoint the whales location by listening to their songs and sent a satellite message in real time to chiles, navy, which in turn alerts the nearby ships. and it is exactly what the technology does, it alerts of the presence of the oil. so the captain can temporary or change the the course and avoid collisions conventional radar and sooner technology on ships cannot detect the presence of whales, which are usually most at risk while feeding at night. michelle andre, who created the leader technology, says noise generated by ships can be lethal, as it distorts the marine animal sooner hearing and communication systems where we

are reveal for the review from the engine. oh, for the water we will have or hear of the water is will be of thousands. i'm louder than we are. human ears can't detect it, but it's seriously disorient whales and dolphins putting them in harm's way. this boy is part of an ambitious effort by chili's government and angels like the merry foundation to turn the pacific ocean into a by a logical corridor between canada and southern chile. these whales come here and it's a 2 to blow, but they, they travel all over the pacific ocean. so this is the 1st boy, but there will be others, and there will be in the ocean of other of other countries as well. many, many more the special boys will be needed to make a difference, but rather than to drop in the ocean. this one is being seen as an important.
