any kind of means to earn living. and without any hope uncertainty, there is no differentiation process. there's no international, serious involvement in getting this refugees back to me on my end, right? kind states, and we also know there is a serious, intense insurgency battle between, but these are our kind rebels and the government forces which have gradually moving towards the bangladesh border. so considering this and also the fact many ro hang a woman actually gets married over the phone with a male who are living in southeast asia, mostly in malaysia. there is another reason. so there is a desperate attempt to leave the camp by a rickety facing trawlers are very poor condition indian worlds that the traffic are used with very little provision or communication device in there or any navigation device. and i spoke to someone running a contacts today. they said the last contact with 180 record is stuck in the sea

4:05 pm
we have seen movements from me in march and from bangladesh. but one thing we have to acknowledge that bundle of dish has been a generous host for nearly a 1000000 running. got refugees. that's why we are playing and asking for international support to bundle dish and local authorities and communities. but also on the, you know, states that to when they know there's a boat out there with desperate human beings need to be in gesture, they should act. south korea says it's fired warning shots off the several. north korean drones entered its air space local media, se the drones were detected in civilian areas and the young gate province eunice kim, is in. so she tells us more about the situation and south korea hearing from south korea's joint chiefs of staff who said that there were at least 5 unmanned aerial vehicles detected since 10 30 am this morning. apparently one of them flying past
4:06 pm
us. border area, town of pud, you before getting as far south as the north part of the capitol sol. there were at least 4 other drones detected over a con why island that is an island near the border area on the west coast. and of course the military here condemning this as clear provocation as it does violate south koreans sovereign aerospace, now, other than trying to shoot down these drones throughout the afternoon. south korea also took corresponding measures. we are learning that south military sent manned and unmanned surveillance aircraft near the border area, and also north of the military demarcation line and a tit for tat of sorts. to take pictures of north korea as military installations. now the drones, the north korean drowns that is dead fly for several hours. some media reports
4:07 pm
you're saying is as long as 7 hours since being detected again at around $1030.00 this morning, passenger flights were grounded just after lunch, including at the main airport in china international airport as a safety precaution, as these drones were flying through civilian areas hundreds of people are marching in paris, angry over the killings of 3 people at the kurdish center on friday. the suspect says he murdered his victims because of a pathological hatred of foreigners. 69 year olds with time train conduct so was taken to a psychiatric facility after he was taken into custody. that's crossover out of been dr. who's in the french capital and understand a rally is been going on that house shaping up well the last few minutes. i mean, the ready has ended here. this is a location which month,
4:08 pm
3 activists from the kurdish community who were killed about 10 years ago. and this is the place where they have come and they are now still angry over the french government, not declaring this terrorist incident, they say they know that the attacker has said he was a racist and they don't deny it. but they are not happy with how the government has dealt with it so far. according to the details that emerge from prosecutors are visit, berson said that he was inspired by racism. a hate for others. he wanted to commit suicide, but wanted to kill as many people as possible this location in particular significant because well, the kurtz here are saying is that it's been 10 years and there wasn't a proper investigation. but 3 of their comrades were gone down at 10 years ago and they are afraid that it is going to happen again when the government is not even listening to them. at least, declared a terrorist incident. we've been speaking to activists. they're going to continue to come out throughout the next few weeks to commemorate the diversity which
4:09 pm
happened was a big thick miss here on january the 9th. and they are adamant that the government needs to do more. at the 3 of the people who were injured have been declared that they are not in critical state. and one of them has come out the hospital and they said here in the, in the fridge capital, the kurdish community, which is a diverse go dish community from iran, from iraq, from syria, from turkey. they say that this struggle to justice or freedom is going to continue until the french government has. right, so they haven't declared this to be a terror attack. how, what direction then is the investigation going? we did speak to few people who i security methods here and they think that because this person has used the word a pass, a logical condition. so, and he was taken to a psychiatric facility, and now he's been given back to believe custody that could possibly be one of the
4:10 pm
directions where this investigation could lead to word some. so, so far what we've heard from the french government is that according to initial investigation, he acted unknown. there was no idea logical literature that was found in his house . he spent most part and last year in police custody because he carried out to the attack, wounding 3 people with the sword. last year he went to the like. this would be declared as a known wolf attack, so to speak. somebody who acted alone on an impulse of a medical condition, but this is something which is infuriating, not just the kurdish community, but other migrant communities here as well. because we've been thinking just a migrant here in on the speech. and they tell us that if it was, it wasn't somebody who is from the majority of the french people. if it was a minority person, would come into this attack, his whole family would be under prosecution. his neighbors would have been dug out and they would be if thorough questioning of everybody he who was included,
4:11 pm
which is fairly, according to them, not happening now. all right, thanks so much. just how i've been jade. plenty more still ad on the news hour, including a 6 day of no reported cove with 19 deaths in china with health officials. question whether numbers reflect reality. it may look wash, but nigerian farmers are seeking help as they struggle to survive off the devastating floods. ah, about thousands of people that are gonna cut a box largest city of held rallies, protesting against the blockade of the only land linked for media. i've gotten a quarterback has internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan, but armenia lays claim to it as that by johnny activists. have been blocking the latch in corridor for 2 weeks. armenia accuses as other by jan of creating a humanitarian crisis in the region which has in the armenian majority.
4:12 pm
for 14 days, we have been under a complete blockade imposed by azerbaijan. as the only road leading nagondo karuba to the outside world is closed. for 14 days, no food medicine, fuel or other vital products have been allowed to enter no corner caraballo. let's bring in father the smiles are they? he's the vice rector at the a the a university joins us live from back. who so we understand this started with a dispute over mining activities. there are russian monitors there. is there no monitoring processed to make sure who's sending what in the name of mining or doing? what in the name of mine? exactly. the cause of the problem, because for many, many years, kara has been on the illegal occupation by army military forces. and they are for
4:13 pm
you entered solutions condemning this occupation. and for more than 30 years, cut off, land has been used and exported by armenians to illegally hey, called mino, resources, natural resources, and to sell it in other parts of the world. so no other buy journey government and other by janet ecological activists are claiming and demanding that monitoring should be allowed, and other by johnny in jewels or by johnny ecological activists. true to be permitted to come and monitor their natural resources, exploitation sites. armenians have refused to do it, and therefore, other by johnny, and you'll have to let me jump in and out about the questions. and it's understandable, i guess, you know, the armenians and other isn't going to go about not going to see eye to eye, but there are russian peacekeepers and monitors. are they not playing a role in preventing this from becoming well? russian peacekeepers have been stopping their their, their shootings, but they have been allowing the corridor to be used for illegal shipment of
4:14 pm
arms weapons as well as export. they did material resources and i mean natural, natural resources. so there's a very low truck international peacekeepers and therefore other by january, already in ecology, cal activists demanding their monitoring process as well as somehow to have a customs or other checkpoints on the corridor. they did the root of the problem. all right, and i'm showing you the altima has a very different narrative. it says it's actually accusing as it by john of using the mining issue simply as a pretext in order to cup and had gotten cut off from the outside world is black. who actually is it's real goal actually to secure its control over nevada and kind of well my going to come back or cut off into national recognize part of other by john sovereign lender was there by john. but it has been on the occupation. and as
4:15 pm
a result of 2020 agreement, they launch inquiry door was agreed to be used for him, an attorney and purposes, meaning that more illegal transfer all goods or weapons or export they did materials should be allowed. but unfortunately, armenians have been using it for that purpose and not for many territory doors. so currently other by john does not have any goals or imposing blockade. it simply says, let's have a monitoring process, and i'll only a minute getting goods or let's say civilian group to be shipped. but the, the armenian side, it says that actually the other is broken. the agreement by cutting off the lunch in colorado. well, the agreement said that it will be used for him and terry and purposes. no more permission is given for the shipment of illegal weapons. and armenia is using it to ship landmines, for example. and more than 200 other by johnny civilians have been already killed
4:16 pm
by land mines, as well as their guns. and let's say exploited natural resources. so therefore other by japanese. but let me jump in and if it's about humanitarian issues, let me read to the us state department spokesman net price, he's calling on as a re, a thorough. it is to restore what he calls free movement because he says the closure has severe humanitarian implications. is that we are in crisis. other by john keeps the role open. it's the russian peacekeepers have caused it. and other by janet ecological activists for many days already letting, let's say ambulance and their food and all their supplies to go. so there's no problem with that. simply other by genocide is saying, let's have a proper monitoring over the illegal exploitation of our natural resources. as well as the shipment of land mines and gun, that is the only condition that other by john is putting forward. all right,

100. jo, go, has become the latest target for arm groups operating in this to help us prison instructed us to take all necessary measures to ensure that we can protect our people that we can deal with this threat, which is making headlines in our region. researchers from the armed conflict, location and event data project have recorded a surge in attacks and so held countries in 2022. they say togo's neighbor, burkina, faso experienced a 400 percent increase in violet incidence. in january, the democratically elected president caulked mac cowboy was toppled in a coup by colonel amoeba. he promised to bring an end to attacks by armed groups, but face off them. the series of military said in october, a qu within a qu, self, a brain power overthrowing demi back after soldiers lost control of 60 percent of burkina faso to arm groups. not only is this another delayed to democracy in
4:32 pm
a region that has experienced a cruise in a few years working on, but gentle leaders have made as little progress as the democratically elected officials. they toppled in curbing the violence fighters from iso or gaining ground threatening coastal nations in the gulf of guinea will continue to watch him and how the activities of terrorists and extremist groups have resolved to view the unfortunate disregard for the national sovereignty and territorial integrity law states, the painful degeneration of the strength allowed democracy with the want to displacement of masses of our populations. and the needless loss of considerable numbers of lives in november of french president emanuel. my co announced to the end of back gun a decade long counter terrorism operation. 3000 french soldiers are expected to leave the sal stepping into the gap in molly are russian fighters from the wagner group.
4:33 pm
but so far, they too have failed to stop the attacks that are making countries such as been in ghana and togo, the new frontline, the fight against arm groups. nicholas hawk al jazeera. and let's bring in now of a way of way go. he's a policy analyst that development reimagined joins us from anchor up by skype. good to have you with us. so 1st of all, won't do the prospects for democracy. look like in 2023 after all the coups and attempted cruise. we had 2022 in west africa. well, i think one of the major challenge with the democracy in the continent is, there is, there is a growing belief that the more because i'm able to trans does it started a good governance. right? that's for many citizens is not enough because when you go to yeah,
4:34 pm
you're good for elections, you know what you government happen sections and spend so much money on campaign and all of that. but the problems remain the same. that it is, does this disgruntlement with democracy itself, or the lack of good governance that is driving these pushes on the cooper within the military. they're capitalizing on that on that. the satisfaction doesn't mean the products structure issue in regards to security on thursdays and from unable just went into it in a rabbi and problems. but if i wrote going forward, i think democracy would only try to get any form of know this again, if we start seeing governance as a consequence of the, of adopting the, the presence of democracy and how can good governance be improve going forward?
4:35 pm
is this down to civil society and the need to strengthen civil society or the role for, for other countries to, for example, thought preconditioning some of the a they give with some measures of good governance and fighting corruption. yeah. already, if you, if you even look, if you look at the detailed i was just released by after about, i mean, i very reputable and putting organization the actually measuring the decline of the decline in belief. in fact, with democracy also, tolerance for our party to was really feel. so i just thought that you use it context of what is really happening. like i said earlier, if we don't have a government that able to develop the government does not defense or a sling, but to get out good live and many of the institutional solutions or the problems need institutional solutions, minute solutions. but the solutions only come from we didn't you,
4:36 pm
we feel very awful that you know, it was our partner countries would insist on how money should be spent should be spent at the it gives the new prescription of the government. i think that's wanted something that really needs to change. and then secondly, we want to really talk about, go, go, but not without looking at the economics and development, because when you don't invest enough in development an economy, then you do have low product, the on demographics with very young baby loss population being an active then each of crime commonality actors and you cannot even begin to address those problems. all right, so we've got challenges going forward when it comes to governance and democracy. what about security in 20? 23. how's the picture looking? the one of the, the things that we're going to do is the regional body is like
4:37 pm
a co and you engaging more with the, with the, with the cool did you drink us with a molly in booking our fossil guinea because they've already cognition that whether or not the democratically elected governments, the have some support within the country. you on the collect, insisting on sanctioning actually told the house of the people in those countries against the institutions. so what, what already the turn of that had begun? the thought that i would have been repaired to some of his country in this country . so what i see going forward is morning given between the african union arena about us and getting more with this with the government. i'm sure that the transition period, you know, that we agreed upon was take to read, and then more importantly, the, the previous is that the cited me then did you cool with corruption? oh, the security that the mix us commitment. we didn't transition on peer to solve those
4:38 pm
problems. if not, what keeps including could even cause in place in other places where you know, tensions are already raised. all right, it's been a pleasure talking to thank you so much of the way way go thanks a lot of how this has been a kale to give a british politics. united kingdom has had 3 prime ministers, full finance ministers, and 3 interior ministers in the bottom of the jokes internationally. but it's under simmons explains brits haven't had too much to laugh about. this report contains flashing images in britain they call christmas the 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,
4:39 pm
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 m 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.
4:40 pm
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 dental slayton, said his majesty the king to notify him the i am resigning as leader of the
4:41 pm
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. the royal mail, the trains, the national health service hit by paramedics and nurses working out. c i think his government, especially after we saw what ms process on and collect public finances. and i think his government is fits on a swing shot. let laurie complex health care system won't be any chess, but can we, she sooner get away from the invisible man image and set things. of course, again, he's a bit boring so far, but i think he would be quite happy to be boring. and i think quite

a lot of voters would be quite relieved to have a boring prime minister and boring politics for a while. but maybe just, maybe this is a time for managerial problem solving at rather than vision. so there could be no humorous ending to the farce of british politics in 2020. there's an irony instead, the u. k. was promised tax cuts, spoilers trust. instead. it's now way down with the biggest tax burden since the 1950s. andrew symonds, how to 0 london. 2022 was also the year. the technology industry in the u. s. came crashing down to us after flying high on pandemic era prophets. rob reynolds explains why went also wrong so quickly. tough times in silicon valley. more than 200000 tech company employees laid off major company revenues down the dow jones s and p tech stock index falling nearly one 3rd. to ha,
4:43 pm
to was a very tough here in tech. in part because we were paying for past since over exuberance, over hiring, over expectations. and now we're 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 don't very short amount of time. as the virus waned, consumer habits changed, although the online buying hang over 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,
4:44 pm
and he believes it, that's the future of tech. oh, we're all gonna 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 must 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
4:45 pm
you know, setting up presidents, an example where a popular platform with millions of use us are having such completely 0 moderation, isis elated accounts 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 combined to start the next cycle of boom and bust. rob reynolds
4:46 pm
al jazeera los angeles. why, let's bring in now. santa ral, he's the head of research, and the partner at manhattan venture partners joins us from new york. good to have you with us. so let's break it down here. what exactly happened was this really a case of the techs the tech industry expanding far too quickly in the coven, 2020 year. that a correction was inevitable when life returns to something approaching normal? absolutely, i think you said it correctly. there was a pull forward of demand that the supply chain contrib constraints. so the next us ordering excess, scorning rather inventory. so everything was accessed because of disruption of the supply demand and balance and all that. so i think that's what happened. so 2022 had become a euro reckoning, so to speak, the year, the year off, free money,
4:47 pm
no rates, low inflation and stimulative. busy federal fiscal, fiscal policy wanted the policies on coming to an end at the all that is coming really bad coming to coming to bear, and that's why you're seeing the meltdown. so it happens. it's just a cyclical thing that happened to the economy. but the over all of this was much needed. we went too much on the other side. we need to come back to the center and that's what you're seeing at this point. all right, so is it a case of though we've had a reckoning? thank you. 2022. good times coming 2023. or how long does the correction continue for you? actually 2023. and as i see it is going to be a year of transition. all the money invested in automation and productivity. all that is going to bear fruit into 1023. so it's going to be a little ramp up as, as one of the re rating and correction base place, lot of digestion big plays and then we come out on the other side much more healthy,
4:48 pm
much more well price price correctly. and so you'll see what the legal bar you're bringing, the things will slow down and pretty for will be a year of going from transition to boom. are the key variables to look out for interest rates, the availability of easy money, the recession and so on. at absolutely, i think our view is that inflation is going to moderate. it's gonna start coming down. it's trinity incorrectly. there's probably several around 3 to 4 percent. and we can live with that. interest rates are probably several around there as well. so, so we can look at that and you'll see what a round it. and then if at the end of the day, you cannot disregard the secular tailwind, which is cyber security, e commerce, cloud computing, these are strange that route continue into the future streaming services their secular buildings that will play play out in 2004. so that's a lot of things to look forward to. but right now it's time to hung down, write,
4:49 pm
write this out, and disregard the regulations or rather, take, take your defensive positions as, as the market. it just evaluations. all right, since we've got the crystal ball now, we might as well take a deeper look. so what faxes of this vast industry are the ones that are going to lead the recovery or the advance to the next stage. yeah, so i think your commentator lead into this was pretty good. technology is what will lead us out of this thing out of this whole recession. and so you like, i guess acknowledge, she didn't acknowledge you continue to see cybersecurity continue to see cloud computing, take different shapes, differently. durations of that virtual reality is going to be more and more shape the metal. ours were all its flaws, will come into shape in 11 way or the other. so you will see 2 or 3 things cloud computing, e commerce will take another shape as well. the payments landscape is going to see
4:50 pm
some changes as well, or iterations or improvements. so you'll see a lot of just in there, based on the fundamental secular that's moving towards cyber security out computing and e commerce iterations 2 point oh rather. so all those things will lead us out of this thing and virtual reality, of course, as long as they don't figure out how to, to replace t v presenter. but that's good, we'll leave it. how i family. wow. yeah, thank you. thank me. my jury, as farmer suffered serious losses during floods this year, the government is offering support, but many on getting the help they need to trace revolts from with, you know, the country the floods, the submerged most of nigeria, coastal communities between august and october destroyed, tens of thousands of factors of farmland, but agriculture authority say the torrential, rain sub left behind, rich,

what of chestnut started growing back and livelihoods resumed before that the silt and marshlands made it hard for us to sustain our lives as dwellers. oh, god, one nestled in the himalayas. the willow lake is a critical source of water in the region, and pounds of people depend on it. but in a matter of decades, it shrunk by nearly half an hour because of these widow cheese housings are planted for firewood trading mounds of silt that are choking waterways, affecting vegetation and water quality restoration projects are underway, the government, and to cut down 2000000 cheese by march. so bandar is one of the contractors that you like to bud guillermo, growing. i planted hundreds of thousands of trees for 35 years, but it was a mistake. it destroyed the lake well that the government wants to restore it and cut down trees. this will bring back the lakes glory. i feel very lucky. i got the
4:54 pm
contract. authorities are planting other trees, still, belly for of the 90 square kilometers of loss. office area have been restored in 5 years. basically the located or jo. seasonally or from. you can say at the door, 050 square kilometers. so it is not necessary that we are a we had to restore hall on the india as a water body because we're land has its own feature that has, it has to how it is mud flaps that has to have it solid. it has a birth against it, the next f as a natural barrier against flooding. but environmentally safe pollution levels need to be controlled for it to be effective. the more fix that push me to believe that it is brought to flooding and most of these flood waters used to fly into thinking around auto engage in with us. but if you look at land system changes that have happened over the course of the last 50 years. so far the kids saw a know there have been some sense land system changes. we just not l o. basically water's flood waters to sink into our lake. authorities are planning to restore

4:58 pm
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 patricia 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 safe from me for this news. i but i'm back in the mamma with another bulletin says they with it's one of the most spectacular mass migrations in the animal kingdom. monarch butterflies. millions of arriving at the winter habitat in central mexico. this year, the international union for the conservation of nature officially designated the

migrating monarch butterfly as endangered experts say the use of pesticides along with the loss of habitat, are the biggest threats to the species. they may be difficult to see from a distance, but these trees behind us are absolutely covered in monarch butterflies. now tourists are welcome at this protected butterfly sanctuary here in central mexico. but visitors are asked to keep their voices down so as to not disturb the butterflies. for many the up close encounter with millions of these vibrant butterflies is a once in a lifetime experience experts and mexico see that despite the mon are being designated as a danger. there's evidence that conservation efforts are working, but ultimately the future of this iconic insect depends on the continued protection of their natural habitat program. more a serious mistake. artificial intelligence is slowly invading every aspect of our lives. but very few of us really understand its capabilities. for
