course, the world, young activists and organizers are on the move in, you know, what i heard generation change meets the new york as using alternative approaches to quite institutional racism and police brutality. a, this is indeed a nation wide problem. network wires, a systemic solution generation change on al jazeera. we don't simply focus on the politics of the conflict. if the human suffering that we report, we brave bullets and bomb, and we always include the views from our sites with this is al jazeera.

ah, hello, i'm sammy, is the new guy live from door coming up in the next 60 minutes. as dozens of wrangler refugees make it to land. the u. n. is at least a 100 navy, others all dead. a deep freeze in much of the u. s. as a major winter storm leaves, at least 30 people dead and tens of thousands without power ukraine's president warned his country to be prepared for anything as russian as right show. no sign of lighting up. take a look back at britain's political roller coaster in 2022 a year that saw 3 prime ministers, ballooning inflation, and the wave of strike. ah,

why begin this news out with what the united nation says is one of the worst years for a hangers, the un refugee agency says at least 180 ra hanging refugees who stranded at sea for weeks now presumed dead. well, this comes at, i asked the 58 people arrived in indonesia, i know of not a province after weeks at sea, more than 1000000. most of them wranglers who fled persecution and me and my living in crowded camps in bangladesh. right group, say the number of refugees risking the perilous c journey to malaysia or indonesia has risen 5 falls compared to last year. i speak to 10 via child re joins us live from bangladesh, where many rang refugees have fled to. so 10 via for people who are escaping on boats to we know where they fling from what kind of conditions they're running away from. well this attempt to

flee basically started 2012. you have to understand out of the nearly 1000000 record. yeah. at least 300000. we're already in bangladesh. in late 19 seventy's and in the early 19 ninety's, they were living an unregistered champ, many of that attempted to flee the champs. and also from me on my side, i mean that trusted has been going on from the late seventy's onward. so many people actually attempted then to leave me and mar, as well as those were in the refugee camp in bangladesh. not since 2017, at least since then, there's been many attempts to leave the camp. and right now, the condition in the camp is a desperate lie, a high crime raid into rival gang violence in the camp. many of the refugees i spoke to said the violence is very, very intense and they want to leave the camp. there is no opportunity for jobs or any kind of means to earn living. and without any hope uncertainty,

there is no to petition process. there's no international, serious involvement in getting this message is back to me on my end, right kind stage. and we also know there is a serious intense insurgency battle between. but this are our kind rebels and the government forces which have gradually moving towards bangladesh border. so considering these and also the fact many to hang out, women actually gets married over the phone with a male who are living in southeast asia, mostly in malaysia. that is another reason. so there is a desperate attempt to leave the camp by a rickety fishing charl are, are very poor condition indian world that the traffic i use with very little probation or communication device in there or any navigation device. and i spoke to some i fi, running a contact today. they said the last contact with 180 a record just stuck in the sea way, a bliss about a week ago from malaysia. someone contacted that in the boat. we don't know if it

was a satellite phone or regular form that they were able to get signal. and since then they haven't heard of anything. the trafficking situation is not only destroying us, even many bangladesh has used this both or had taught se asia, we know in 2015, dozens of mass graves were found in thailand were high. a government official where he bought even walled in this trafficking. and many of those who were found dead in that area between malaysia and thailand were mostly growing as in some bangladesh. if so, this is a very ongoing thing as the un, it's out on dana this year has been one of the most i rated about 5 falling crisen . this attempt to go by boat because of the weather. and maybe because the pandemic got crisis is over, there's less jurisdiction throwing of the desperate to leave. and also the fact that there is no really any kind of hope, what they're going on with nearly half the population are children with more formal

education. there's no, any kind of economic activities for them. the camp situation is very restrict that it's like an open near prison. so let, let us feel like there's no other hope we have to find a better gown and willing to take chance with the big number of money. and take this journey in a very dangerous path from bare bang rolling to them and say for se asia. all right, thanks so much. we'll leave it there. can be a chandry. let's bring in knob about bulge in bangkok, he is the you and hcr spokesperson for asia and the pacific. good to have you with us. so we know the numbers are up this year. do we have any idea how many ringo are setting out on boats each month for each year? now of the huge thanks for having me. indeed this has been a distressing year. i mean, all the tragic news that we have been kind of trying to give out there, but the whole focus is to whoever is out there in the open. rough seas been need to

be rescued. that's why unity are my agency. we have been calling again and again on the states in the region that if you find anyone in distress on those known or unsee, we're the boards, please go there and say of life only this month. we have reports and these are unverified reports. just initial estimates that 500 at least 500 people have been on those boards out there. 190 people. we're still worried that there are some your audio between indonesia and malaysia and your location. have been changing throughout the month from thailand to indonesia, to indian waters and now back to indonesia and malaysia. the sad news there, let me know you mentioned putting out the call for states to help people who are lost at sea. what kind of response are we getting?

are we seeing states step up to help those last that field looking the other way? oh, some good examples. i mean, we just recently saw that 3 lanka saved 105 desperate people who are in need of a, you know, rescue are. so that happened then the saw in november that indonesia stepped up and supported. but then we have one board with 180 people missing out there. the relatives have lost contact and they think our lives are lost. we hope not. and then is this board which is still being tossed up and down by these dangerous waters. and we haven't heard any good news that they have been destroyed. yes. in indonesia, yesterday we heard that 50 people were brought in december on on land, but we're still not sure who they are. now. this crisis started with massacres with killings, with what

a lot of human rights organizations called genocide going on inside me and mar. what is the situation now that this is last year we have seen that more people who would need to to seek safety. and this is the point we are trying to make. reset, been people do not see that there are safe pathways for them to seek protection where there is no hope for refugees at the end of the tunnel. and when you see that human traffickers and smugglers are praying on these desperate people, till there is no end in sight, we will sadly see more and more people are trying to take these dangerous and risky journeys. yes, we have seen movements from men mar and from bangladesh. but one thing we have to acknowledge that bundle of dish has been a generous host for nearly a 1000000 rocking. got refugees,

that's why we are playing and asking for international support to bangladesh and local authorities. and communities, but also on the real estate that to, when they know there's a boat out there with desperate human beings need to be bought out there. that is the situation inside me in mart, seems like there hasn't been a lot of attention. the world has been distracted with, with a lot of other things. do you notice the organ? i didn't know. mask is still ongoing for the ringo. we're not sending me. have seen that internal displacement has been on the rise. we have been trying to reach and to help those have been effected and they need to find a safety inside the country. but the truth is that there are some who may need or, or the urge to, to leave the country. that's why we're trying to see, did these movements are mixed? it's not only that people are trying to leave from bangladesh. there are many who

may feel the need to lead. men might as well. right. all right, good to get your thoughts on this. thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and perspective about the launch. their south korea says it's fine warning shots off the several north korean drones entered. it's as space local media, se the drones were detected in civilian areas in the key on the province. eunice kim joins us live from sol. so how much of a serious engagement or clash happened here? hi sammy. yeah, this is definitely not just another day. in terms of drum sightings from north korea, only the 3rd known incursion by north korean unmanned aerial vehicles. the last one being some 5 years ago in 2017, we are learning from south korea joint chiefs of staff that there were at least 5

drones that violated south korean aerospace one appears to have flown through the pad to a town which is on the border area between north korea and south korea and another 4 were detected flying over a congo island, which is a south korean island near the border area on the west coast. now, we know that these groans were flying for several hours, some media, se 7 hours since the 1st detection along the can be province. as you said at around 1030, this morning. precautions were made at the major international airports here in south korea, including one in, in china, as well as the one in kim paul with civilian air flights suspended for about 50 minutes just in case as

a safety precaution. now we're also hearing from the south crew military who have condemned this as a clear act of provocation that the drones flew and very unpredictable routes in uter and zig zags, making it very difficult for south korean aircraft to shoot them down. in fact, local report say some 100 shots were fired and they were unable to get any of the drones to fall from the skies. this of course, comes as north korea has been ramping up pressure in the peninsula, including to short range ballistic missiles evaluated by south korean media just or military, excuse me, as early as friday. all right, thanks so much eunice. there plenty more. still ahead on the news out, including why the removal of these willow trees is key to restore one of asia,

the largest fresh water lake. ah. an intense winter storm across the united states and canada has left millions without power. at least 30 people have died in several of us states, some of which some wild traps in their cars. robin 12 of the fatalities were in the state of new york. she is one of the worst hit regions. in the city of buffalo, people have been confined to their home for several days. she returns the reports from washington, d. c. winter storm elliott may have long passed over much of the us. but arctic lingered on christmas day over 2 thirds of the country. we are in a war, this is a war with mother nature. and she has been hitting us with everything she has since the late hours of thursday and friday, saturday and now on christmas morning. and this will go down in history as the most

devastating storm in buffalo, long story history, the poor, the temperature is not any creative. the phenomenon of lake effect snow in the northern great lakes region, but also the ocean effects in maine on the atlantic coast. the principle is the same cold moving over warm water, creating intense storms. high winds, many whites out conditions in some areas, even where the snow fall had stopped. many remained trapped in their homes, homes where power outages are expected to continue due to the blocked roads. it's not just power lines down, even though there's a lot of that. it actually is. substations are frozen and they now need to bring in equipment to repair the substations, to get them back on line. they were bullets of some feeling. they had no choice but to attempt to drive to so called warming stations,

as their homes grew ever more frigid. despite advise that driving in white out conditions could lead to death either from a crash or being stranded in the cold. and some did find themselves trapped in the cause for 2 days. fatalities have been reported in colorado, kansas, oklahoma, nebraska, new york and other states. bodies have been found in cars, non snow banks, others in the home after emergency services struggle to arrive in time would be at passengers continue that determined push to try to complete christmas travel only to find another day of thousands of flight cancellations and delays. but the thought is wilcox over the next week, the longer it stays this cold, the more other systems across the state could be challenged. but the good news is it's getting warmer and it's getting warmer each day. but still isn't an accurate accounting of just how damaging the storm system has been. but it's clear this was you have another and a series of extreme weather events in the u. s. where authorities have been

struggling to cope. she ever chancey al jazeera on across the northern bordering canada. thousands remain without power in the 2 biggest provinces, ontario and quebec. many flights and train services have been cancelled from local governments, have declared emergencies in the western province of british columbia. a bus rolled on an icy road, killing full people. are the present to jeff harrington has more on the extreme cold snap hitting north america. then jeff, let me show you this map right off the top we painted on the colors darker the purple. that's the most intense call that stretches from northern canada all the way to central america. so we're talking white horse to mexico city. that's a distance of more than 6000 kilometers where that arctic air is really digging in . ok. let's talk monday morning. these are your wake up temperatures. you'll notice look at the miami, not even into double digits. you're waking up to 8 degrees and through the us

called states subzero. but i don't just want to talk about the temperature is let me show you the us state of texas not far away from austin. this is a car wash here. this gives you an idea of how cold it has been. we've got these icicles because of those sub 0 temperatures. so again, your wake up temperature is much morning. houston rate on the freezing mark, new orleans at one, and there is miami at 8, but there is some relief come in. we'll talk more about that interest a little bit, but this cold air is also rushing out of the u. s. i kept the arrows on. that's the wind. so notice how it's going right across the gulf. mexico city will wake up to 6 degrees, also temperatures below average, and can coon and havana at 15. let's talk about that precipitation. we know western new york buffalo has been hit hard by that lake effect snow, but it is now starting to wind down on monday. so certainly, that is the good news. we did talk about relief from some of these low temperature . so toward the end of the week,

this is now friday. notice there's more yellows on the map there. that means that warmer air is starting to shuffle in chicago, toronto new york on the plus side of things. now all eyes are shifting to the west, so back to the here now we've got an atmospheric rivers setting up. so that is a narrow and concentrated band of rain. it's going to dump its moisture out over in northern california, oregon, washington state, and also western canada. so vancouver is under a wind warning, likely to see gust of a 100 kilometers per hour. south of the united states, thousands of migrants are camping in the cold in mexico, hoping for a reversal of us immigration restrictions expend. the christmas weekend enduring what mexico's weather service is calling a mass of arctic air temperatures in the border cities of matamoros and re nose hovering around freezing restrictions on the title 40 to allow the us to return migrants to mexico without the chance to request assign them many who have made it

across the border into el paso, texas are reluctant to accept shelter scat. it could mean being returned to mexico, temperatures and el paso are full cost to drop to below 0. many of the people who have made the journey to the us remain on the streets. some slept in the cold outside a church. okay. i want to spend christmas in a place where it is not cold. i would really like to be under a roof just as everyone here would like to spend christmas under a roof because the cold, a strong thousands of people in the garden cut about the largest city of held rallies, protesting against the blockade of the only land link to armenia, both armenia and as by john lay claim to the region and have for to was over it as a by john, the activists have been blocking the latch in colorado for 2 weeks. armenia accuses other by john the staging the demonstration to create a humanitarian crisis in the enclave, which has an armenian majority. and i got also 14 days. we had been under

a complete blockade imposed by as by john as the only road leading nicole nor car above to the outside world is closed. for 14 days, no food medicine, fuel or other vital products have been allowed to enter. no go, no, kara, was spring involved, her mother's shan in yet. yvonne, he is a political unless it's thought with what prompted this, what is the mining dispute that prompted the demonstrations and the, the activists. well, thank you for the opportunity to speak about the current crisis. well, i have to say the mining has been one of the topics at the other approach and started to exploit in can junction with some other conditions that have been around since november 2020. so the mining dish to what does emergent

claims is only a fraction of kind of conflictual problems that virginia keeps pushing and somehow distorting the entire architecture, the negotiations. so, but basically the mining is an extension of the much deeper problem that exists. and that is the article 6 of the statement statement. the 3 leaders of us are button or me and russia, which was signed in november 2020 and the article 6. so that statement for barbara claims as the luncheon quarter, which is only landline connecting armenia to the corner of a shall remain under the control of the peacekeeping. contingent of the russian federation. and there by john, should guarantee the free passage of cargo vehicles and citizens for this

land corridor. so 2 years after that, we see that as their budget as violated these articles, the statement of course and also claims that then you wrote should be constructed to circumvent ish to sheet. however, we it's inappropriately rating of the article because it says that within 2 years then you should be determined. the plan of the new world is doesn't say that it should be constructed within 2 years. so only 2 years. and there is a long way to go before we see that this is to be constructed and completed. so this one is what we see on the surface. but on the deep down, we see that we are doing a multifaceted, militaristic and expressionist for impossibles or by chance,

which goes against the spirit of negotiations. that when you read un resolutions like 882853, or 884. it's clear that as that by johnny, her trees being occupied by local armenian forces rather than nicer by john, of course, having an expansionist policy to take over other people's territory. right? well, well i'm sorry to hear that the this for the under solutions of 1900 in history that have been manipulated by their budget for gander. ready so i'm not talking about anyone, gander, i'm referring here to un resolutions. i can quote them, it says it refers to, this is asian of the job district by of the republic of

azerbaijan, by local armenian forces. and it demands the immediate withdrawal of all occupying forces from caliber john and the occupy. there is what it is. some of the areas are now on the as airy control, right? some of the areas are on the rush and peacekeeping patrols in some areas are still controlled by local. i mean, forces it's, it's not, it's a, it's not black and white is it? it is black and white, and i'm really sorry that that resolutions for us in the resolutions in ancient history haven't, are interpreting that way. actually armenian government has yielded all its control that it had over the territory surrounding. ready territory so we are talking about also the fact that government has also accepted that it does or by john on its own has been able to solve the provisions of the us security

cost. ready solutions because the internet community hasn't been able, according to the government to help them. so this brings us to the idea that what he's had with the russian, the russian because suddenly the all media interpretation of what he's resolution. so, but it's, it's not the, those areas are internationally recognized and going to cut about you do concede to view as are international, recognize as part of as a by john, not armenia correct un, i'm sorry, but you enders, additions for. ready solutions are talking only about the parts regarding the surrounding churches are not going to church. so the one that they're adopted in and then can industry. so if we are talking about the resolutions, let's be very specific. what they, what are the provisions of these resolutions? ok, all right, we're out of time, so we'll have to leave it and thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and

analysis. well, whatever i say. thank you. thank you. iran's revolutionary god has arrested 7 people with links to britain. it says they were detained in connection with the anti government protests, some of those arrested whole jewel nationality. meanwhile, 3 months of unrest is taking a toll on the economy, runs currency. the reale is hovering at a near right, called low against the us dollar protest response. by the death of 22 year old matter. i mean, neil police custody in september still ahead on al jazeera, 6 day of no reported code 19 that's in china. health official question, whether the numbers reflect reality may look wash, but nigerian farmers is thinking help as they struggle to survive off the devastating floods. ah

ah. a very warm welcome sir. this is your international weather update for europe and africa. nice to have you along. so the rain starting to peter out across portugal and western spain on monday. and now east of this. it's been a seller's stretch the other day, valencia closed in on its december temperature record of 25 degrees. and we got you in the sunshine with a high 21 on monday. it's still pumping that warmth up through western europe. but you know, those temperatures dipped down through the overnight the early hours. so as a result, we could see some ice on the roads across the republic of ireland. it's precipitation is bumping into colder air. that means snow through the baltic states and bella roofs now, few weeks ago is stoney. i had a big snowstorm this time around. i think about 5 to 10 centimeters of snow. likely, temperature is above average through central europe is while it means i grabbed 50,

that's 10 above where you should be for the sum of the this temperature you would expect to see in april, greece and turkey. we've got some persistent rain for the ne black sea coast and look at this, trying to wind up. it means bursts of rain, aleppo, bedroom, and ramallah on monday. and some of that wet weather may drop down into the northeast of egypt. and for south africa as puma longer and limpopo provinces, some downpours here, some showers though, for course loon of towel and durban with a high of 22 degrees. ah, to inculcate a culture of knowledge, openness and pluralism, world wide and to reward merit and excellence. and encourage creativity. the shake ahmad award for translation and international understanding was founded to promote translation and honor translators, and acknowledged the road and strengthening the bonds of friendship and co operation between arab islamic and wild coaches.

it's one of the biggest clubs in south america. but its greatest rival is just a few blocks away from mutual dislike between funds formed from a class divide, sustained over generations. most book junior, the quarters are born into these club colors in an epic feud of rich versus poor. the funds will make football on al jazeera lou. ah, they're watching out. is there a time to recap on headlines now?

the un refugee agencies as at least a $180.00 range refugees who a strand of it see for weeks of now presumed dead. in the stafford incident, 58 men arrived on indonesia, northern archie province on sunday, after weeks at sea. south korea says it is fired warning shot software. several north korean drones entered it's as base local media say the aerial vehicles were detected in civilian areas and the key on v problem, ah, tens of thousands of people in north america remain without power of what's being described as a once in a lifetime. when to at least 30 people have died in the united states and the temperature has dropped below 0. several canadian cities, the declared states that emergencies. 33, russia, murphy, personnel have been killed in an attack on a base in south 12 in the south west. the defense ministry says they were killed by

falling debris after ukrainian drone was shot over angles minute field. the same advice was targeted earlier this month. moscow says that was a drone attack carried out by ukraine. russian president vladimir putin is accused the way of trying to tear rusher of heart in an interview and says he's trying to unite the russian people through is offensive in ukraine, arguing ukrainians and russians. so one people says his government is acting in the interest of the people that moscow is ready to negotiate an end to the conflict crane's friends that have a lot of me that and ski says russia has lost everything, but will continue to attack ukraine. socially total only a few days of this year left, we must be aware that our enemy will try to make this time dark and difficult for us. russia has lost everything it could this year, but it is trying to compensate for its losses with the gloating over propagandist after the missiles strikes in our country on our energy sector. i know the doctors

will not prevent us from bringing the invade us to their new defeats, but we must be ready for any scenario of russia launched more strikes on the eastern city of karma towards gone sunday. child stratford has more on that as well as the energy prices facing ukrainians. after weeks of these, this campaign by most go targeting energy infrastructure, we know that millions of ukrainians are suffering these rolling blackouts as deals ortiz try and get as much electricity to as many people as they can with so many of these substations having been hit and of course, harsh winter conditions, many people with very little heat as well. and meanwhile, the shelling and the fighting continues. we heard from the sources in the eastern city of cremmit, sourced the day reporting at least 3 missiles strikes and no

specification as to what exactly was hate and no casualties. but it's interesting that graham, it's all, this is the 2nd day that criminals because been it cremmit also is basically one of the 2 largest urban centers in on it's still under ukrainian control. and it's relatively close to that hotspot. town of buck moot. where we have seen and continue to see some of the most intense fighting of this war so far. neither the russians nor the ukrainians really making any progress. certainly the ukrainian food seemingly keeping them back as russia makes probing attacks from the north and the south trying to surround that city. china has revolted, no new covey 19 deaths for the think. stay in a row, but health authorities are concerned about millions of new infections every day. cases a full cost to increase next month. as people travel for luna new year celebration

hospital staff say that over the overwhelmed with patients. health officials are encouraging elderly people to get vaccinated, get more on this from florence louis, who's in hong kong for us. so 1st of all, do the, the official numbers know death. does that mean situation is easing up in hospitals at all? well not from what we're hearing hospital staff say they are overwhelmed now. this is not official data, but one private hospital in beijing, its chief medical offices that they're receiving 5 to 6 times more patient than they normally would. and you also said that the average age of patient shot up from 40 to 70 in just the face of a week. now in another private hospital stuff that they've been told to report to what even when they test positive and have a fever. and i think that really just underscores how desperate the situation is in china at the moment, on cases a breaching a 1000000, and they're expected to go up,

especially with the new year celebration coming up next month. that's been described as the biggest annual human migration with tens of millions of people. chris crossing the country, one health data firm based in the u. k. estimates that as many as 5000 people are dying a day in china. that's of course in sharp contrast to official data, and china has recently said that it's only going to count covert depth at people with if people die from you monia, or spiritual failure. and that, of course, has, you know, that put into question just how china is going to be revealing what just the veracity of the data that china is reporting. now experts also for coughing, but that could be one to 2000000 deaths in china by the end of 2023. so given that, are we seeing a new push by the government for vaccination or any other restrictions?

absolutely, the government has recently announced that it wants to increase the rate of the nation amongst the hours. and now many people, there's a high percentage of percentage of people in china well over the vaccinated. but when it comes to people above 80, that number dropped to about 67 percent. non part of the measures include going from door to door, the neighborhood committee, which in communist china form the lowest level of government, faith, and talked with keeping track of people above the age of $65.00, monitoring the health, and also persuading them to get vaccinated. some neighborhoods, not even offering financial incentives, paying people up to $70.00 to get the shot. now, what official is, what officials are battling against is misinformation and fear something that we've seen in other countries. some senior citizens have told reporters that they're afraid of getting back to native because they're afraid of the side. effects. and officials now have to persuade the out. and he said that it's safer to get back in a band. it is to be without the vaccine. now what makes us even more urgent is the

fact that china extremely strict policy is meant that case numbers have been very low. so the few people who have the natural anti bodies as well. and so the spread of co it, it fits that it's not only going to be deadly, but it will also be very thrift will leave it there. thanks so much. it's louis mom, she is expected later in paris, following a shooting at a kurdish cultural center that killed 3 people. the suspect says he carried out fridays a time because he has a pathological hatred of foreigners. the 69 year old was admitted to a psychiatric facility. he was taken into custody. the attack spot protest in the front castle with police using gas on demonstrated now 2022 has been a chaotic year for british politics. the united kingdom has had 3 prime ministers, full finance ministers, and 3 interior ministers, when the both of jokes internationally. sandra simmons explains,

i haven't had too much to laugh about. this report contains flashing images in britain they call christmas this season of goodwill. but you won't find much bonham me here, downing street in 2022 produced pantomime style politics. it might have been funny if the consequences weren't so serious. forest johnson led the way so called party gate dragged on a police investigation, a fine for johnson. oh, big rooms were broken and that is what i have been repeatedly assured. and when photos emerged, the story changed. it did not occur to me that this might have been a breach of the rules. he lied frequently. and after a while, people didn't take seriously. what he said, there is no doubt that the office of prime minister has been demeaned over the over

the past year up boris johnson became a joke. the parliamentary party eventually decided johnson was a liability. many commentators described it as the downing street so proper. firstly, forest johnson simply had to go against his well, his parting words as to love this, the baby. i'll be back then. liz truss. she's been described as playing the leading part in a psycho drama and then enter stage right richie soon act no friend of less trust. and his nickname, the invisible man sudak was dubbed the invisible man because he's been keeping a low profile with his conservative party. so split support can't be guaranteed to logistic to see you. you only had to look back on the debacle of the list trust premier ship to realize how quickly back bench mpg can get rid of their leader. she proposed massive unfunded tax cuts,

but the sums didn't that up. and she blamed her friend and finance minister quasi courting. we did a new approach for a new era. oh was a currency freefall and ballooning cost of government borrowing. she fired him, but it didn't stop an almighty financial crush. she told the truth, i am a fighter and not to my sample. slayton said, his majesty the king to notify him the i am resigning as leader of the conservative party. britain was a laughing stock world wide. one newspaper here featured afresh. let his web cam would it outlast bliss? trust. yes. but with inflation now it's a 41 year high. no one's laughing. strikes over, paid him, owns a bound hitting public services that frequent. and that causing major disruption.

but there isn't enough to go out of fishes admit only a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of farmers affected by the floods earlier this year will benefit from a government initiative to help them take advantage of the residual and most ger left behind by the floods. which means many of them now in debt face an uncertain future. i've lost income and access to food. the government has yet to determine the extent of damage economy, say the annual losses, floods cost tonight notice agriculture industry, unsustainable all the more reason they say why farmers should move from rain fade agriculture to irrigation. the reason al jazeera with the weather, been several setbacks for democracy in west africa this year with delayed elections . coups and attempted coups ralph is the instability could help groups link twice or, and then tie the nicholas hoc reports and other drill for soldiers in toko,

2022 was the year, the technology industry in the u. s. came crashing down to earth after flying high on pandemic era profits. rob reynolds explains why it all went so wrong, so quickly. tough times in silicon valley, more than $200000.00 tech company employees laid off major company revenues down the dow jones s and p tech stock index falling nearly one 3rd to h. i to was a very tough here in tech. in part because we were paying for past since over exuberance, over hiring, over expectations, an hour in a trough and is likely it's going to last for another year. so what's behind the bust? many tech companies spent too much during the pandemic. when consumers were stuck at home practically living online, they over invested and hired

a lot of people in very short amount of time. as the virus waned, consumer habits changed, although the online buying hangover remain, snarled supply chains, inflation and higher interest rates, along with the expectation of a recession all combined in a big macro economic mass. in addition, some top tech executives blundered facebook seems to be pursuing a mark sucker burbs, great white whale of the met averse russia, and he believes it, that's the future of tech. oh, we're all going to go live in cyberspace. and he spent hundreds of millions of dollars pursuing it and he hasn't had much to show for it. so facebook stock, they've lost billions over this obsession of his in october ilan mosque, marched into twitter headquarters in san francisco and soon began firing employees left and right, including most of the content, moderation staff, partly as

a result of those cuts and policy changes. hate speech has increased dramatically on the platform. for example, anti semitic postings on twitter, increased more than 60 percent in the weeks after mosques take over, racist extremis posts have also risen dramatically. these changes have alarm industry analysts and human rights advocates to me off. tremendous concern you know, setting at presidents an example where a popular platform with millions of use us are having such completely 0 moderation, isis related, i call and have tripled. it's not just hate speech, so it's a, i think it's also national security issues. recent history shows, however, that while companies rise and fall tech always bounces back,

recessions are good for entrepreneurship, is because you have free time, you been laid off. so you go to starbucks and sit there at a table. and you can hire people who've also been laid off. you can't tell by the people sitting there which tables a winner, but one of those tables is going to create a multi $1000000000.00. you know, unicorn, company, silicon valley is full of talent, ideas and money, which eventually combine to start the next cycle of boom and bust. rob reynolds al jazeera los angeles. now farmers, actors, even us presidents of all was the famous panama hat. but despite what many belief found not, and never were from panama, our latin america, the tennessee and human, explains from monte christie in ecuador. the. this is the story of one of the world's most famous and yet mis named hats. for more than

a 120 years mules had been bringing to keep home fiber from the hills surrounding monta. christy, near the pacific coast of ecuador says he by chai, is a 3rd generation hat artist, cynthia significant. and, and it's a very tough job because you have to cook the palm fiber, you have to split it and put it to dry in the sun, afterwards, wash it, and curate it. i love but that's just the beginning of an exquisite craft, though they've been, they'll have it. i this was we were to. the best strands are specially selected, but if they aren't naturally, but then by that they have to be worked and prepared until they are all identical and have the same color. so you can imagine the effort. this implies young working in weaving something that is so fine that go on it. but chinese great grandfather was one of the 1st to commercialize the monte christie hats and exploit them to panama at the beginning of the 1900s i got in during the building of the panama canal, former u. s. president theodore roosevelt was given one and fell in love with it. nick

naming it the panama hat. however undeserving that name has stuck to this day. the more welts the had has the more flexible in light. it is almost like fabric yet. it's strong and can last for up to 20 years. it did, but i got nice. no. ah it. oh god, no. this is way too difficult. i've been trying and trying. i just cannot get it right. this weaving technique is so complicated and not to mention uncomfortable the position. so let me tell you this is not easy. work. pitch eyes, 84 year old father began making them when he was 8. it place you cause it by the price one gets is very little compared to the time it takes to make these hats. so unfortunately, less people are making them these days. i am so if we feel that eliza,

some of the finest hats can take up to a year to weave. but the artisans rarely fetch more than $1800.00, even when they're sold abroad to the rich and famous for up to $25000.00. still, his grandson's already becoming the 4th generation of pitch eyes to produce the original to key upon hat. a proud symbol, not of panama, they say, but of their country ecuador. to see a newman al jazeera want to kristy ecuador. well, that's it from me for this new sound, but the good news is so is back. ah, [000:00:00;00]
