india. this is her cy clone. my bow sat is making its way towards the south or chenise some torrential rain coming through here. that will cause some flooding as we go through the next couple of days or so. pushing up the rainbow, just pushing our pin to we're under the dash and an easing further west, which as we go through the next day or so, so little dried out was a se, but the rain still there, it will cause flooding. so hot, sharp showers to coming into shalaka for central and northern parts of india, it is largely dry, as is the case to, into pakistan over the next couple of days. temperatures in lahore at around $22.00 celsius. but notice a westley disturbance to the far north of the country the weather sponsored by cattle anyways. my mama pricing is then ah, pete, a movement takes place in kenya. counting up against the british demanding return of their lines, nearly declassified documents showing a light on prisons colonial past. there is systematic torture of reign of terror in

explosion at a coal mine in indonesia is not known what caused the blast in western marcher authorities. believe the mind is filled with me. faint gas rescues are trying to evacuate. one person still trapped. now, people in the philippines are protesting against plans by the ruling party to use the money in government banks to create an investment fund of a fund. this to be managed by close allies of present ferdinand marcus junior. any fear their savings might be at risk only below reports from another. many filipinos are up in arms over a proposed investment fund that would use a public money. now, most of the outrage has been online, but there have been small protests like this out on the streets. now the initial objection was because this fund was going to draw pension and money from government corporations handling both government employees and private employees, pensions. but proponents have already backed down, now they say that they're only going to use funds from government banks,

but still these protesters object to the proposal. imagine that is that many of the deposit bars, are they going to ask permission for dose to policy thought that they will arden and are they will use their money for, for investment that we are not sure of. but legislators and economic managers is that this fund is necessary and in fact, it is long overdue because the national budget just isn't enough to fund all the necessary document projects. and they cite what he's successful examples such as singapore, in indonesia, malware earnings from these kinds of sovereign wealth funds have been able to find the infrastructure project on ethan. they stablish middle shore. we're in route to find dried and best investment jacob that has been used by governments in the 1st world and developing countries. yeah. but they're also trusting issues here. the main on the bill that comes in on the current president again,

quintin and global mark is junior, the speaker of the house, marketing and while desk. and one of the co authors is his son, representative of eagles, andrew marcus, the press, the parents of the president, clinton and marcus senior, and imelda. marcos, former 1st lady, the whore and power back in the seventy's and eighty's are believed up 100, an estimated $5.00 to $10000000000.00 from government coffers. so there is fear that this could go the way of malaysia, one and b b where $4500000000.00 where there were there worded for them to shout companies. an officer, a bank accounts, former malaysian prime minister. now g resolve who is in fact serving a 12 year sentence in connection with the one and b b case. south koreans will get a year or 2 younger in january, at least on paper. the governments as past laws to scrap the countries to traditional counting systems in favor of a standard international one. let's include the tradition of counting people as one

year old buff and adding one year every january. the 1st minute came reports, who so near is stay here is also left with a little bit of inks. and that's because on january 1st one year is automatically added to everybody's age. much like it was for our ancestors. this means also for babies once they are a boy, there are automatically one year old, making the korean age, often one to 2 years older than the international standard of wool twirl around. the sun, which is being used in legal and health matters, would struggle. we use international age when banking, so i often get confused. that's at the change, at least on paper, starting in the middle of 2023 president you sonya is set to sign a bill that was nearly unanimously approved by parliament to standardize age and south korea to align with international norms. so how do south koreans feel about

getting younger next year from a farm 72 years old? now that means are we 7 to years with the change? i also think it'll be great news for people who are getting married later. people over 40 years old. all voices, they're reflecting what was found in a september survey, 8 out of 10 people said they agree with the change. only 6 percent said keep the status quo. but given the hierarchical structure of south korea society observer say it will likely take some time before the international age. truly seats into the social structure of bong young. a chick is a research fellow to young saw university. he says korean so widely in favor of the change there is a very strong support for the money to spend about the aging system by the standard. i mean, who is they know to, you know, getting younger by one or 3 years old?

well, it has been the part of tradition of korea country that used to be very strong practice in the chinese civilization. so a chinese aging system has to both one is either luna then. so you are already in one, you know, all of the, by the time you are out in this world. and another chance this them would add one more year when you pass the 1st year's day according to the calendar. but international aging system would say that you are, you know, you're all by the pay your board. so this is a effort to push the south bend in the direction of globalization team of 1st nations. people is collaborating with scientists on the restoration project on australia's great barrier reef, because students of the coastline are sharing 60000 years of traditional experience

and history with researches using new technologies to accelerate coral. great sir. comp reports from a far north queensland it's an annual natural phenomenon when millions of carls across the great barrier reef released bundles of eggs and spoon in a mass spawning event. researches capture some of those bundles and read them in a floating nursery as part of a carl regeneration project. it allows us to put those baby corals after a week of development back down where they're needed most on neighboring reefs that are struggling. it's one of several reef restoration initiatives being child in a collaborative program. the teams identified degraded, reefs, and try to kick start the recovery process. what's different about this project is that 1st nations ranges are working side by side with scientists, sharing knowledge handed down over generations. we have this generation connection with the gripe, our roof,

and its armor symbolic. so whatever happens to read happens to us. whatever happens, ross, observe, 3 results school. your indigenous ranges are also working with 2 groups. cheering lessons from the ancestors through storytelling. i met so many people out there i work in here and span of about i think it's nearly coming on to 6 years now since i was about 15 years old. very actually di, original people i with nation with the guy, barry. we knew obviously the aboriginals, the families that connections the land oversee that they have and how they tell the stories. but we never knew about the city climate change from the sidelines to warmer waters, driven in part by rising greenhouse gas emissions has devastated some of the 3000 coral reefs that make up the unesco world heritage site. this team is trying to buy time for the great barrier reef by combining ancient knowledge with new technology . there are at least 70 traditional owner groups along the great barrier reef. not

every one of them is involved in risk management, but it's hoped over the next 10 years. these conservation projects can be scaled up to include more ganges artists. rules came to share this skill sets. it's a really unique partnership to work across different groups like this. it really hasn't been done in this way before. and i think there's an object opportunity with this project to bring it up and down the great barrier reef in this different catchment. the team has released 30000000 co lovers since the project began 3 years ago. it's a small step, but one in the right direction for rafe. the united nation says is in danger. sarah, clock out a 0 cans. the u. k that prince harry has opened up about why he left his country with the wife megan and that 1st child a couple have outlined the details, all the departure and a new t. v series or criticisms of the media and the royal family also feature in the 1st episodes. i didn't bother reports. it's really hard to look back on it now and go. what on earth happened? it's 2020 and prince harry and his american wife megan,

difference he told them was the elements of race the way tabloid. newspapers used races, tropes. when talking about megan, marco has been well documented. but there was, according to the sussex, is also racism from within the royal family. something the families denied. it led to a break down in relations, most notably with harry's father, king charles and his brother, prince william, and contributed to megan, feeling suicidal for a long time. people at myself have been talking about the insidious nature of the racism in brits and, and we've seen it so many times. light reflects twice in british press. and we've been told that we imagined day, although banks, he sense it, it, what this does is it, or says a conversation about race and racism and the class system within britain. over interviews in the netflix series were done by august this year, the month before queen elizabeth died. oh, it's very much the couples account and the royal family says it's not commenting on it. the worsening relationship between the sussex isn't buckingham palace as an

institution dominated royal coverage here in britain, during the last years of queen elizabeth's life with prince harry's father now on the throne, you might think there'd be a chance for a reset. this new documentary suggests it's still complicated. nadine barber al jazeera london. ah, this is out of sara. and these are the top stories now. american basketball star brittany griner has arrived in the us of the been released from a russian prison she landed at lackland air force base in san antonio. griner was freed, as part of a prisoner swap. she had been held in russia since february when she was arrested on drug charges. washington broke with her release in exchange for convicted arms dealer, victor boot, and boot has landed in moscow after being fried by the u. s. he was greeted by his mother and wife boots says he wasn't told he was been released ahead of time. he was.
