there is no repetition process. there's no international, serious involvement in getting this. they have to jesus back to me on my end, right kind stage. 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 a bangladesh border. so considering this and also the fact many to hang a woman actually gets married over the phone with rowing 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 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 filing a contacts today. they said the last contact with 180 record is stuck in the sea way, at least about a week ago from malaysia. someone contacted that in the boat. we don't know if it

was a satellite phone or regular phone that they were able to get signal. and since then they haven't heard of anything. babylon, she is the you and hcr spokesman for asia and the pacific. he explains what needs to be done for refugees who are seeking asylum. 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. we said then people do not see that there are safe harbor ways 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 peoples till there is no end inside, we will sadly see more and more people are trying to take these dangerous and risky journeys. yes, we have seen movements from 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 rocking. got refugees, that's why we're playing and asking for international support to bundle dish and local authorities and communities. but also on the state that when they know there's a boat out there with desperate human beings need to be in gesture, they should act a march has been held in central paris to honor 3 people killed in a shooting at a kurdish cultural center with crowds walked from the scene to the shooting to the location of another killing, targeting kurds in 2000. and 13 friday's attack has shocked and infuriated the kurdish community. 69 year old french suspect is facing charges of racially motivated murder. he told investigators he had a pathological hatred of foreign bon jovi, there's more from paris. this is a location which marks 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 emerged from prosecutors off his verse and said that he was inspired by racism. have for others he wanted to commit suicide, but wanted to kill as many people as possible this location in particular significant because well, the kurds here are saying is that it's been 10 years and there wasn't a proper investigation when 3 of their comrades were gunned down 10 years ago, and they are afraid that it is going to happen again when the government is not even listening to them to 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

happened would have been sick 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 of hospitals and they see here in the, in the fridge capital, the kurdish community, which is a diverse good 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 south korea says it's 5 warning shots off the several north korean drums then to the space local media, se the drones were detected in civilian areas in the kion gate province, south korea is military of dispatch jets and helicopters to respond to the threat. eunice kim is insole. she tells us more about the situation. 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 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 congo 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 crew military sent manned and unmanned surveillance aircraft near the border area, if 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 drones that is dead fly for several hours. some media reports you're saying 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. an intense winter storm across the us and canada has left millions without power. they 30 people have died in several of us states while traps in their cause. she returns the reports from washington. d. c. winter storm elliot may have long passed over much of 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, the long story history, the polar temperature is not any creative. the phenomenon of lake effect snow in the northern great lakes region, but also ocean effects in maine on the atlantic coast. the principle is the same cold moving over a warmer water, creating intense storms. the high winds meant white out conditions in some areas, even where the snow fall had stopped. many remained trapped in the 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 like

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 and whitehouse conditions could lead to death either from a crash or being stranded in the cold and some good find themselves trapped in the cause. with 2 days, fatalities have been reported in colorado, kansas, oklahoma, nebraska new york and other states. bodies have been found in cars on snow banks, others in the home after emergency services struggled to arrive in time, would be at passengers continue that determined push to try to complete christmas travel. i will need to find another day of thousands of flight cancellations and delay. the thought is walk us 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. there still isn't an accurate accounting of just how damaging the storm system has been. but it's clear this is

yet another and a series of extreme weather events in the u. s. where authorities have been struggling to cope, she ever time see al jazeera across the border in canada, thousands remain without power in the 2 biggest provinces, ontario and quebec. many flights and train services have been cancelled some local governments and declared emergencies in the western province of british columbia. a bus rolled over nicely road killing for people still ahead now just here most a week with no current, a virus. death reported in china, but health officials question was, numbers reflect reality story behind the panama. now there is this, the human takes us from so called home with a to location may surprise you. ah,

ah, let's go, this is your weather update for asia. thank you so much for joining in. so this disturbance here about half a month's worth of rain to colombo on sri lanka now moving through some of the more devion islands. it's not going to impact molly though. just a mix of sun in cloud there with a high of 29 degrees on tuesday. it has been pouring rain for days from southern city to devout. there are some extreme flight advisories in play here. and the winds are curling around, giving us a feed of rain for indonesia as main island of java. but i think actually the worst of it will be off shore. pretty good run of rain though for bali and lubbock islands on tuesday, talking about snow for the western side of the yangtze river valley cloud cover extends right through to shanghai at 9 degrees, but or sunshine for hong kong at 1900 on tuesday. good news that see effect snow now starting to weaken across western areas of japan. you know, parts of the main island upon shoe. more than

a meter of snow depth there on the ground to give you an idea of just how much snow has been falling. ok, we'll wrap up this weather report right now in buckets. dawn is a forecast on tuesday. some of that wet weather is starting to slide into blue just on profits. i've got some showers in snow over the higher ground of, of honest on, on tuesday. her odds, a high of 12 degrees. ah, the bony test up is more benefits that don't come of your savings. like a 247 maternity, 9 joining test. looked at the number one medical aid for south africa. talk to al jazeera. we also do believe that women of afghanistan was somehow abandoned by the international community. we listen, we have a huge price for the war against terrorism as good morning money. we meet with global news makers. i'm talk about the stories that matter on al jazeera.

ah ah, i'll come back here watching al jazeera time to recap the headlines now. the u. n. z refugee agency says at least on may through anger. refugees who was stranded at sea for weeks now presumed dead. in a separate incident, 58 men arrived on entities is northern archie, province on sunday. of the week, succeed themselves. a march has been held in central paris to honor 3 people killed in the shooting of the kurdish cultural central. on friday, the suspected attacker told police who was motivated by a pathological hatred of foreigners. south korea says it's fired warning shots off

the several north korean drones entered. it's asked space local media say the aerial vehicles were detected in civilian areas and the young v. providence, chinese leader, she ging ping as urged health officials to take action to protect lives as the country battle spiraling cove is 19 infections. the president says china is facing a new situation which demands new tasks. it's the 1st time she has spoken publicly since paging ease, strict containment measures. studies suggest more than 1000000 people could die from current a virus in china. the next few months, florence louis has more from hong kong. this is not official data, but one private hospital in beijing is 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 has shock up from 40 to 70 in the face of a week. now in another private hospital stuff that they've been told to report to

work 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. now in cases a breaching a 1000000 and they're expected to go up, especially with the new year celebrations coming up next months, 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 officials data. the government has recently announced that it wants to increase the rate of explanation amongst the out the need. 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 hours and he said that it's safer to get vaccinated than it is to be without the vaccine. now what makes us even more urgent is the fact

that china is extremely strict policies meant that case number had been very low so that few people who have the natural anti bodies as well. and so the spread of cov, it is that it's not only going to be deadly, but it will also be very through the 3 russian military personnel have been killed in a tank on a base and south of 12 in the countries southwest. the defense ministry says they were killed by falling debris after ukrainian drone was hit over angles military field. the same air base was targeted earlier this month. moscow says that was a drone attack carried out by ukraine. russian president vladimir putin as accusing the west of trying to tear rusher a part in an interview and says he's trying to unite the russian people with his offensive in ukraine, arguing that ukrainians and russians are one people. he says his government is acting in the interest of the people that moscow is ready to negotiate and to the

conflict ukraine's president for them is that and he says russia has lost everything, but we'll continue to attack ukraine. so. so if you could give me a total of 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 drawing to compensate for its losses with the gloating propagandist after the missiles strikes on our country on our energy sector. i know the doctors will not prevent us from bringing the invaders to their new defeats, but we must be ready for any scenario. russia launched more strikes on the eastern city of crime, a toss gone sunday. child stratford has more on that, as well as the energy crisis facing ukrainians. after weeks of these, this campaign by moscow 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 being 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 cramer tossed the day reporting at least 3 miss strikes and no specification as to what exactly was hit and no casualties. but it's interesting that granite souls, this is the 2nd day that criminals because being 8 criminal sc is basically one of the 2 largest urban centers. internet's still on the ukrainian control. and it's relatively close to that hot, small 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 fools you seemingly keeping them back as russia makes probing attacks from the north and the south trying to surround that city. there have been several setbacks for democracy in west africa this year with delayed elections, coups, and attempted coups raw affairs. the instability could help armed groups linked to i, sal, and the either nicholas hoc reports another drill for soldiers in togo and exercise, encountering possible attacks by al qaeda and i. so at least 5 have been reported since the beginning of the year in, during dozens of people. and displacing hundreds togo has become the latest target for arm groups operating in the south. so like prison instructor, 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 attack since a 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 arm groups but face after the series of military set in october, a qu within acute south, a brain power over throwing de amoeba after soldiers lost control of 60 percent of burkina faso to armed groups. not only is this another delayed to democracy in a region that has experienced a cruise in a few years. what can i 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

come to you 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, emmanuel in my court, announced to the end of buchan a decade long counter terrorism operation. 3000 french soldiers are expected to leave the sal stepping into the gap. and molly are russian fighters from the wagner group. but so far, they too have failed to stop the attacks that are making countries such as been in ghana and togo. the new front lines in the fight against arm groups. nicholas hawk

al jazeera 2022 has been a chaotic year for british politics view. k is had 3 prime ministers for finance ministers and 3 interior ministers. it's been the boss of jokes internationally. sandra simmons explains the british, haven't had much the law about. his 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 and 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.

interesting to see. he 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 and all my te financial crush. she talked to, i am a fighter and not to my sample space into 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. the royal male. the trains the national health service hit by paramedics and nurses working on. 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 long, complex health care system might be an a chess, but can ritchie 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 boring prime minister and boring politics for a while. but maybe just, maybe this is a time for managerial problem solving,

rather than vision. so that 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 simmons, how to 0 london farmers actors, even us presidents, vo warm the famous panama hat. but despite what many believe they are not, and never were from panama, our latin america, to lucy newman reports from monte christie in ecuador. this is the story of one of the world's most famous and yet misnamed hats. for more than a 120 years mules had been bringing to keep home fiber from the hills surrounding. won't the kitty city near the pacific coast of ecuador? fidelity by chai is a 3rd generation hat artisan. he is a different country and,

and it's 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. ha, ha ha. but that's just the beginning of an exquisite craft, though they've been de la hayward. i, this was, we were, 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, go on it. but child 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 and light it is

almost like fabric yet it's strong and can last for up to 20 years. it did, but i got no of it. oh gosh, 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 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.
