and marine by diversity already stretched by over fishing. and this is going to happen all over the world. is impacts like sea level rise, cause people to move further and further in line, putting more pressure on environmental resources for people fleeing in the impacts of global warming. it's survival at all costs. progress. more a serious mistake. artificial intelligence is slowly invading every aspect of our lives. but very few of us really understand its capabilities. for better or worse, al jazeera explores the impact of a i accessing vast amounts of our personal data. data land on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera

ah, hello, this is the news hour on al jazeera. i'm fully back to ball live in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes and had a boat of ro hang. a refugee's arrives in indonesia, the un says a 180 people i presume, to have drowned in a separate incident after being at sea for weeks. china says ill scrap corbett 19 quarantine for overseas arrivals. infections, swamp hospitals, and funeral homes. also this hour, the death toll wise is in the united states, so called blizzard of the century. new york's governor warms the storm is far from over. ah, goods riley in paris demanding action after a gunman opened fire at their cultural center. and in support, the premier league returns after 6 weeks. welcome break. we'll have the best of the

action this hour with joe ah, thank you very much for joining us. another a 185 ro hang a refugees. have a ride in northern indonesia. after spending weeks making the crossing from bangladesh, the un belize, a separate boat carrying a 180 others has sunk. with all those on board presumed to have died, he says this has been one of the deadliest he is at sea for the rowing a community poll we sophomore. this boat survived its dangerous journey across the indian ocean, now preached on the shores of northern indonesia. for weeks it was home to dozens of virginia travelling from refugee camps in bangladesh. your family and well wearing go coolio. my mother's my father who had their mother,

their escaping places like this. refugee comes in bangladesh and to many of the 1000000 ranger muslims who escaped persecution in my unmarked. the group who arrived in our chair province on sunday had been drifting at sea for a month before that boat washed up near the fishing village of ladon. 3 of them are in a serious condition, but most of them experienced dehydration. that's why they are quite weak. the un refugee agency said over the weekend that a 180 refugees who left bangladesh in a boat in november when are presumed dead. the un estimates the number of ranges risking the crossing is increased by 500 percent. this year compared to 2021. i think this last year we have seen that are more people who would need to to seek safety. and this is the point we're trying to make. we said 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, we will sadly see more and more people are trying to take these dangerous and risky journeys. we're playing and asking for international support to bangladesh and local authorities and communities, but also on the leader states that to when den know there's a boat out there with desperate human beings need to be ingest, you dear, this should act, these refugees are lucky in one respect, they're still alive, but where they go from here is another question. pull rece, aldi's era. as we heard in that report, the refugees have been fleeing and overcrowded campaign, southern bangladesh tan via chandry has more mat from back. right now the condition in the camp is a desperate lie, a high crime rate, inter rival gang violence in the camp. many of the refugees i spoke to. so the violence is very, very intense and they want to leave the can. there is no opportunity for jobs or

any kind of means to earn living. and without any hope uncertainty, there is no road apache ation process. there's no international, serious involvement in getting this. we have to jesus back to me on my end rock on 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 a bangladesh border. so considering these and also the fact many to hang a woman 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 trawlers are very poor condition engine boards 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 contact today, they said the last contact with a 180 records 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. after nearly 3 years of tough water restrictions, china is cramping cove 19 quarantined for overseas arrivals. from january, the 8th people coming from abroad will no longer have to go into isolation, but travelers will still need a negative p. c r test to enter the country. meanwhile, chinese president ching ping has urged health officials to take action to protect lies as a country battle spiraling corona, virus infections. the presence as china is facing a new situation which demands new tasks. it's the 1st time he's spoken publicly since paging east strict containment measures 30 suggest more than 1000000 people could die from cove in 19, in china, over the next few months, florence, we 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 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 of breaching a 1000000, and they're expected to go up, especially with the new year celebration 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 official 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 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 the white house, as it is concerned by china, so called provocative military activity in the taiwan. this comes off to taiwan, reported china's largest every cushion. it's fast space, $71.00 aircraft including 5 digits and drones costs over a 24 hour period. 7 chips were also sent towards the island. china says is actively in the region is in response to continued joint drills by the us and taiwan. south korea says it's fired warning shorts after several north korean drones enter

the fast space. local media, see the drones were detected in civilian areas in killing the province. south korea . the military has dispatched jets and helicopters to respond to the thread. eunice game is in so and tells us more about the situation in 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 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, one 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, if and also north of the military demarcation line and a tit for tat of sorts. to take pictures of north korea's military installations. now the drones, the north korean drones that is dead fly for several hours. some media reports you're saying as, 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 early i spoke to lori school with a former us assistant secretary of defense. he says, the incident is a 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 tasks alone. so they're getting more, you know, getting more provocative. and i do think that you know, the south korean, not a, not only shot shocked out most of the roles and they got into 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 believed that there would be no response to it and they could get a lot of information. it 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 had

happened the last 5 years, they. busy 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. and my head on this news our, including the un condemns a decision by the taliban to block women from working in another vital industry. enough gallery fan ukraine called russia to be stripped of its un membership. as it reports, heavy shelling across the east and early drama as more than a 100 yards set sail in the sydney to hope on ocean race that's coming up in for the future. i the death toll from one of north america's most severe winter storms in decades has risen to at least $48.00 more than half of those i neil stage one of the worst

affected areas in the us. some areas are buried under a meter of snow with resident stranded in their cars for up to 2 days. or then 2000 domestic and international fives have been cancelled so far on monday and get an update with was in jordan was in washington dc for as long as its been called the storm of the century in which the death toll is a slicing. and that's because the number of people who have been trapped in their homes are trapped in their cars. try to get from one place to another. as the rescue crews try to reach those people, particularly in new york state, they extract that they are going to find more people who may have perished because of exposure because of hypothermia and the very, very cold temperatures. that much of the country has seen in the past 5 days. there is an effort to try to clear these a roadways. but of we are hearing from new york state officials and local officials

in particular. who are saying that this work is very, very difficult. because of the amount of snow that has already fallen, they've already us c knows, you know, upwards of 3 meters of snow in drifts. cars had been covered. dr ways have been covered, entire roads have been covered and it's been very difficult for road snow files for emergency cruise. she would navigate all of that to snow, to try to get to people who might need their help. yeah, and the chaotic situation ross is not expected to ease up over the next few days, isn't it? well, there's a very slow warming trend according to the national weather service, a when it, which we'll see probably a chance for rain over much of the country. but in buffalo, new york, or the community, that is perhaps a, the poster child for this particular blizzard. they are now experiencing another

light snowfall. they are expected to receive another 30 centimeters or so in the next 24 hours before their community can finally start to make progress on trying to clear the snow and ice, the temperatures aren't going to be tropical, like but chug any a warmth over 0 degrees celsius is going to be a help for these rescue crews and for community members who are simply trying to get their lives back to normal. thank you for that update ross in george and live there in washington dc. now, 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 have declared emergencies in the west. in that province of british columbia bass rolled on an icy boat killing for people i

69 year old frenchman has reportedly been charged with killing 3 people at a kurdish cultural center in paris. earlier march was held to honor those killed in fighting shooting, crowns walked from the scene of the attack to the location of another killing, targeting courage. in 2013, the suspects told investigators he had a pathological hatred. are foreigners, osama bin javin has more from paris. as kurdish activists commemorate the 10 years of the death of 3 of their comrades, we're heading 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 extremely concerned by the credit community. a diverse goodish community here, people who are not just from iraq, from city a different in on, on from 30 as well. and this has given them a chance to express their own particular problems in their own. 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 calling for it now. and they're not happy with the way the government has dealt with this incident so far away and massage a tier a tech 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 to just confirm what they are saying is that they don't deny that this was somebody who was a racist guy. but this needs to be declared a terrorist incident so that there can be a proper investigation. the united nations mission to have galveston has sold the taliban administration to reverse a ban on female workers at agencies. the acting head of the un mission met the army

minister on monday, according to a statement from either locked or off, as millions of afghans need assistance. then removing barriers is vital. 6 major aid organizations have suspended the operation in afghanistan. one of them is action age and we're not joined by ross me for was the director of asia and humanitarian response that action 8. she's live from rome. thank you very much for being with us. tell us more for us about the reasons behind your decision to temporarily suspend your operations in afghanistan. what is the message you're sending here? action aid has made a difficult decision to temporarily hold. most of these programs in afghanistan, after directed was issued binding women from working with agencies. ability to provide services in the country is dependent on our 97 by 2 female colleagues who were tied as leisure back to the lives of those around them. if those women are unable to work,

then action age is unable to provide sufficient support. we're very concerned about the impact this directive and we'll have on the rights and lives in 90 years. the people living in afghanistan, nearly half the people experience, experiencing severe hunger, and living through a harsh winter, making the situation they're really desperate at the moment. as you say, banning women from working for a 4 and 8 organizations is no doubt a severe blow to to the rights of afghan women. but your organization another suspending. the operations could also have a devastating impact on, on afghan people when to agree. if major aid organizations like yours, suspend the operations, this is going to have massive consequences, the livelihoods of afghan people. absolutely, i mean we've been working in afghanistan since 2002 very deeply rooted organization that was very closely with communities and extremely hard to reach and who are

facing a huge difficulties. so the decision for us to temporarily pools our programming has not been taken lightly. but unfortunately this move makes it very difficult for our team on the ground to provide support. women are essential to any humanitarian operation. so in the context of you can start even more so where women can interact with women, but well, i apologize for interrupting you wouldn't. would it be more effective to pursue dialogue with the taliban administration on this issue? yes, so we are actually working very closely with other agencies and trying to kind of keep watching brief on the situation where hopeful that through our connections and our engagement. we partner with government that we can try to press a reversal of this directive and things will become one abling in the country so

that we can then resume our work. and you know, obviously we're providing life saving support at a very difficult time in the country. and dialogue is the key if dialogue is the key, i mean, do you think suspending operations in afghanistan is the effective way to go about this is a temporary suspension to review the situation to explore the opportunities. and there are ongoing meetings at a very high level, and we are hopeful that there will be a positive outcome. clearly, as i explained before, what have been impacted due to the directive and, and, and our delivery of a delivery of our. so we will certainly be looking for every possible solution to move things forward. is there a risk today that you could lose your license to operate in afghanistan? oh, at the moment we're not. 1 considering that we've been there for a long time, well embedded, well trusted. i'm confident that we will continue to be there. so no,

the police are not going to jeer guys, has relative making arrest. the administration say they're just trying to resolve this particular issue. the leader of the group of got this threatening to continue that blockade of the city by blocking the road dungeon dead them on the main idea authority that saying that they are trying to pay for their dog. this is true, but this is not a new problem. that has come up in the boss, the administration of god has to take this seriously. given the fact that baluchistan has also been dropped by a number of attacks against the security forces in recent days and because of the high red lug in that area. so the protested of gotten sticking to their demons. key access to the area had been blocked, telephone and internet services have also been shut down. and most of the video footage that day is a bidding is on the social media men,

janos ed and focused on have not been carrying their story. but we are told that they said indeed a large protest that the government has to take seriously. it used to be one of the largest fresh water lakes in asia, but we'll, our lake has been choked by decades of mismanagement. now thought ease in indian administered kashmir. say they're taking action to revive it. pardon me? tar reports. warner lake and the kashmir valley is preparing for winter boats like these are making the last rounds as villagers extract any remaining water. just nuts. the lake is famous for them and output has increased over the past 2 years. but you are still 0 is 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 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 trees. thousands were 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 bundari is one of the contractors that you like to bud guillermo, like me. i prompted 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 contract. authorities are planting other trees, still, belly for of the 90 square kilometers of loss. office area had been restored in 5 years. basically the lake a did a change of seasonally oh from you can say it due to 050 square kilometers.

so it is not necessary that we are a we had to restore all of the area as a water body because ruttland has its own feature that has, it has to how it is mud flats to has to her. it is ah, solid areas where her birth wednesday, the lake serves as a natural barrier against flooding. but environmental se, pollution levels need to be controlled for it to be effective. the jew morphic setup of which middle values says that it has grown to flooding, and most of these flood waters used to find a sinking ground or disengage in invalid. but if you look at land system changes that have happened over the course of last 50 years or 5 decades. so i know there have been substantial land system changes. we're just not a law basically, waters flood waters to sink into all our lake. authorities are planning to restore another 23 square kilometers. villagers node it, take yes for the league to return to its former glory. but a happy with the 1st signs of revival party metal al jazeera, thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes in the philippines after

from what we got free seed and fertilize little if this crop fails, we could be in serious trouble and it will determine whether we survive were star before the planting season. the government is providing small scale farmers like touchy with fertilizer and improved maturing seats. it'll provide os 80 for the hamas to use. there is either moisture and, and blue cross. and also that would have a thought of it. but there isn't enough to go around. officials 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 moisture 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 to nigeria, agricultural industry are unsustainable. all the more reason they say why farmers

should move from rain fit agriculture to irrigation. it rece al jazeera with heavy rain has caused flooding across palestinian territories. a number of streets and gas have been submerged. rescue crews have been trying to drain the water so that people can be allowed back to their homes. and now to our series, looking back at some of the biggest events of 2022, it's been a chaotic year for british politics. the united kingdom has had 3 prime ministers for finance ministers and 3 interior ministers. it's been the target of jokes internationally, but as andrew simmons explains, britton's haven't had much to laugh 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 corporate firstly forest strengthened, 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 if he only had to look back on the debacle of the list trust premier ship to realize how quickly back then jim, please can get rid of their leader. she proposed massive unfunded tax cuts, but the sums didn't add up, and she blamed her friend and finance minister quasi courting. we did a new approach for a new era. oh, it was a currency freefall and ballooning cost of government borrowing. she fired him, but it didn't stop and all my t financial crush. she talked to. i am

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 there could be no humorous ending to the fossil british politics in 2020. there's an irony instead, the you 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. a 2022 was the year. the technology industry in the u. s. came crashing down to earth after flying high on pandemic era prophets. rob reynolds explains why it all 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 at 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 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. 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 extremist posts have also risen dramatically. these

changes have alarmed industry analysts and human rights advocates. to me it's of tremendous concern. ah, happy you know, setting a precedence, an example where a popular platform with millions of users. but having such completely 0 moderation, i sis related accounts have tripled. it's not just hit speech. so it say, i think it's also a 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 the winner. but one of those tables is going to create a multi $1000000000.00 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 al jazeera was angelus still ahead on al jazeera, the premier league is back after. well cut brake will bind at the best of the actually so far in sports with jeff. and the story behind the panama hat challenge is yours, monsieur newman, takes us to the so called home of the hat. stay tuned. location may suffice. ah. i will tell stories and take risks to share their experiences from every corner below, binding us together and inspiring us to expand our realities. why? because like most ah,

monte city. near the pacific coast of ecuador, fidelity by ty is a 3rd generation hat artist, cynthia, significantly. 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. i love but that's just the beginning of an exquisite craft, though they've been there in the habit i this was we were. the best strands are specially selected if, but if they aren't naturally that then by that they have to be worked in prepared until they are all identical and have the same color. so you can imagine the effort this implies young working and weaving something that is so fine, we can 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 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 press you kiss 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 patricia to produce the original 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, and i said for this news hour on al jazeera, from me fully battle in the whole team here in doha, thanks for watching. we are live next, my london, you center with mariam de massey status. ah ah.

capabilities. for better or worse, al jazeera explores the impact of a i and accessing vast amounts of our personal data. data land on al jazeera, across the globe ecosystems under immense threat a bit later started moving back. it started melting up. there is something wrong in this drawing something we cannot create a thrice, explores how the law is beginning to hold multinational to account. we're all connected, f neighbor by those emissions. and how the idea of giving nature legal rights is altering our relationship with the planet. this is what it's all about. it's about ensuring that life when i can continue planetary justice on al jazeera, ah.
