here and baby, we were the ones who said lights on what was going on in a way that's more means to me. good. there's looking start. think about the lebanon is always in the, my number for us formation. we have the agency to create the vibe of the generation trade on al jazeera. what happens, but in new york has implications all around the world. it's the home of the united nations. it's a center of international finance, international culture. to make these stories resonate requires talking to everyday people to normal people, not just power brokers, and that's where al jazeera is different. the mayor of the city announced that he was doing the way with the curfew. that was supposed to get everybody off. it's international perspective with the human touch zooming way in, and then pulling back out again. ah,

$180.00 will hang of refugees, have drowned making it one of the deadliest years at sea for the community in almost a decade. ah, hello, this is al jazeera alive from doha. i'm fully back. people also coming out a marching to honor the dead curds rally in paris, demanding action after a gunman opened fire at their cultural center. the death toll rises in the u. s. where brutal winter storm has cut power and caused transport chaos. and we look back on the years silicon valley's tech giants were brought down, crashing down to earth. ah, we saw with what the un says is one of the worst is for here at sea. the un refugee

agency says at least a $180.00 rolling refugees who were stranded for weeks after leaving bangladesh and now presumed dead, as comes as at least 200 feet 40 people arrived in indonesia, nor them at a province since sunday, after weeks at sea, more than 1000000 of the minority muslims who fled persecution in myanmar are living in crowded camps in bangladesh. rice group say the number of refugees risking the dangerous journey to malaysia or indonesia has increased 500 percent. this year al jazeera is tanveer, chandry has more from dhaka. right now, the condition in the camp is a desperate lie, a high crime rate 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 differentiation process. there's no international, serious involvement in getting this. we 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 is 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 fishing trawler saw a very poor condition indian worlds that the traffic are used with very little probation or communication device in there or any navigation device. and i spoke to some of our earlier complex 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. baba belushi,

d u n h t r spokesperson for asia and the pacific. he explains what needs to be done for refugees who are seeking assign him. 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 me and my end 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 bundle dish and local authorities and communities, but also on the states 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. crowds wants from the scene of the attack to the location of another killing targeting codes in 2014 fridays shooting has shocked him. infuriated the kurdish community. a 69 year old french suspect is facing charges of racially motivated matter. he told investigators he had a cold, pathological hatred of foreigners. oh, sam had been jab, it has more from paris. f kurdish activists commemorate the 10 years of the death of 3 of their comrades. we're hearing more details emerging from the prosecutor's office details which included the that the perpetrator says that he was

a racist. he wanted to commit suicide, but wanted to kill as many foreigners before. he would commit suicide. all like from the concert by the credit community. a diverse goodish community here, people who are not just from, roughly from syria to, from iran, and from 30 as well. and this has given them a chance to express their own particular problems in their own country. then we're hearing a chance of freedom. we're heading chance for justice and revenge as well. and what these people are calling for is justice the calling for it now. and they're not happy with the way the government have dealt with this incident so far away in miss sasha a tier attack planned and carried out by a racist, an attack against the kurdish community and against the kurdish women. the kurdish community wants the french state to tell the truth, the victims were refugees and the government didn't give them proper protection. one of them was here for 2 years, and she didn't even have proper documents. we were asking for protection before, but now we want justice continents i'm, if you're the,

what they are saying is that they don't deny that this was a somebody who was a racist to get out of the fact. but this needs to be declared a terrorist incident, so that there can be a proper investigation. a now the world news, south korea says it has fired warning shots after several north korean drone ventre the fast space. local media, see the doors were detected in civilian areas in the province. south korea's military has dispatched jazz, sent helicopters to respond to the threat no school days. the former us assistant secretary of defense, he says, the incident, the dangerous escalation. this is pretty serious because we thought it all back 5 years ago when we made the agreement in 2017 that they would stop this. and but in addition to what they've done by flying over south korea this year, they conducted 90 to missile tassel alone. so they're getting more, you know,

getting more provocative. and i do think that, you know, the south koreans not, not only shot shot down most of the draws and they got into. busy north korea as well, hopefully when they saw how many were shot down and then south korea response even to north korea, they'll think again about it. but i think they believe that there would be no response to it and they could get a lot of information. was very dangerous, i mean they got right near the capital of soul. i mean if that has led to any type of civilian casualties, we could have another war or the korean peninsula. i think since nothing happened the last 5 years, they sort of relax. but now they're going to, i think, get more and more ready to make sure it doesn't happen again. and if it does, to make sure that they can shoot them down before they get, you know, not close to the capital again. how the white house is, is concerned by what is calling china's provocative military activity near taiwan.

the government has recently announced that it wants to increase the rate of explanation amongst the out. and some senior citizens have told reporters that they're afraid of getting vaccinated 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 extremely strict policy is meant that case numbers have been very low. so there are 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 3 north america is still facing travel chaos in the wake of a major winter storm that swept the continent. more than a 1000 domestic and international fights were cancelled in the us on monday. freezing weather and blesses of cost power outages in parts of the country. new york is one of the worst effect is faced with some areas buried under

for them. and output has increased over the past 2 years, but you are still 0. did used to be a field. there were trees here. but after the dredging water chestnut started growing back, and livelihoods resumed before death. the silt and marshlands made it hard for us to sustain our lives as dwellers. oh god, one nestled in the himalayas. the wolf 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 willow trees. thousands are planted for firewood trading mounds of silt that are choking waterways, affecting vegetation and water quality. restoration projects are underway. the government aims to cut down 2000000 trees by march. so bonder is one of the contractors that you like. would you like me? i planted hundreds of thousands of trees for 35 years, but it was a mistake. it destroyed the lake. the government wants to restore it and cut down

trees. this will bring back the lakes, glory. i feel very lucky. i got the contract. authorities are planting other trees . still, belly for of the 90 square kilometers of last surface area had been restored in 5 years. basically the lake in georgia, seasonally from you can say 80 to 50 got to meet us. so it is not necessary that we are, we had what i stood whole of the area the water body because matlab has its own feature that has, it has to how it is mud flaps that has to have it's solid. it has a birth against it. the next up as a natural barrier against flooding. but environmentally safe pollution levels need to be controlled for it to be effective. that you more fix that for me to believe that it is broad flooding. and most of these flood waters used to play into thinking on auto engage in invalid. but if you look at land system changes that

have happened over the course of the last 50 years. so far to kids. saw a know there have been some center land system changes. we just not l o. basically, water's flood waters to sink into will our lake authorities are planning to restore another 23 square kilometers villagers, nor did take years for the late to return to its former glory. but a happy with the 1st signs of revival party method. august 2022 was the year. the technology industry in the u. s. came crashing down to f. after flying high on pandemic era profits. rob reynolds explains wydell went so 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, 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 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 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, he believes it, that's the future of tech. we're all going to go live in cyberspace and he spend 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 alarmed 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 zeal, moderation, i, sis, 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 to table. and you can hire people who've also been laid off. you can't tell by the people sitting there which tables a winter, 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. ah.
