south korea's president says his country needs better air defense systems. you and so q wants to create a special mail for unit. was south drones, comes a day after north korean drones crossed into south korea's air space. the south korean military is now apologize for failing to shoot down the drones on monday, airports near the capital were closed temporarily when the drones were detected near civilian areas. resident yoon says the incident is highlighted, the military's lack of preparedness order yesterday, not at court. he has military drones, invaded our aerospace, the incident shows our substantial lack of our military preparedness and training for the past several years. and clearly confirm the need for a more intense readiness and training. so don't open to other robin kerry is a professor of international relations at to san national university. he says this type of behavior is quite typical for north korea. i don't think it's too much of

a surprise that the north koreans have done these kinds of things. i don't actually think that this is the 1st step towards any kind of an escalation or something like that. the north koreans have been known as for pick and prod, if you will, along the shared border. right, which is very contentious. as you might imagine, north koreans minutes are known to cross over and provoke in this manner before they do this often to see to the really sure. i think it's about south korean response, or rather the correspond apparently there was a helicopter fire in the drones and missed several of the or one of the aircraft scrambled in response. crashed on the pilot. parents managed to escape and so this raises the issues of a readiness and i thought a bit concerned because i spent a pretty big chunk of its g p on, on defense closing and on 3 percent, which is pretty high for us. ally and the goal is ultimately that's our crew. be able to defend itself without too much american assistance. this is called the transfer of operational control to south korea. we're trying to, with the americans, are trying to do that. and if that's how koreans look like they can handle,

i've drone incursion, and that's going to sort of push that whole agenda back. so it's kind of a surprising failure. north korea later, kim, german is open to meeting of the governing workers. party is often use the event when our major policy decisions ahead of the new year. north korea has 5 and unprecedented number of miss hall to jail for my south korean president, leave me on bank has received a presidential pardon me, was serving a 17 year prison term for bribery. and the woman is one of $1300.00 inmates to receive a special pardon the 81 year old is bound to temporary release in june, due to or health. the pardon will cancel his remaining 15 years of jail time. taiwan says it'll extend compulsory military service to counter threats from china starting next year. and monday, dozens of chinese planes crossed into typeface defense. so the biggest daily incursion in years, beijing is protesting against what it says is collusion and provocation by the

island and the united states. views taiwan as a breakaway province. taiwanese conscripts will now serve in the military for a year that are from 4 months. florence louis has the details from hong kong. the latest measures announced by time when he's president trying one is aimed at increasing the islands defense capabilities and one think tank estimates that the extra 8 months that cons conscripts will now be required to serve could potentially add $60.00 to $70000.00 personnel annually to the current setting forth by the year 2027, and that's not the only change announced on tuesday. conscripts will now undergo more intense training. they'll be more ly fire drills to learn how to handle more sophisticated weapons. the president also said the government plans to increase the overall salaries for conscripts and professional soldiers the number of years a conscript serves will also be taken into account and the governments labor

retirement plan. all this is to make, serving in its defense forces more attractive. now increasing the number of months that a conscript has to serve really is not new. previously conscripts had to serve for 2 years, but that was slowly with down to 4 months by previous governments. because to make the well really to appease to younger voters and also because at that time tension between taiwan and beijing had eased. now time one has been feeling the pressure from china over the years, not just militarily, but also financially and diplomatically. as china has grown from strength to strength on the global stage, as well as in the world economy, and the taiwanese government under president trying when, well, it's position is that ty, ones, future is something for taiwan. people to decide. whereas the chinese government views the island as a breakaway province and sees were unification as inevitable. so these are 2 very opposing and contrasting views and preston, ch hi. she said on tuesday afternoon that taiwan wants peace, but to avert

town where they're fishing trawlers. they used us smuggling, also, the camp condition, nearly a 1000000 people crammed into 32 scrap kilometer area is very dance. i mean they're getting aid agency food and everything. there's no means of earning any living. there's no formal education for the children, which is 50 percent of the population, so they really don't see any kind of hope. and the hope of repetition is all bus diminished because of the political crisis in myanmar, there is no global effort, a concerted effort to pressure me and my to take this people. so people are desperate. they want to get out, find a better life, look for a job somewhere else in southeast asia, in bangladesh, there is a concerted effort by the police on the authorities. the making public opinion calls in the, particularly in the refugee camps, going door to door, telling the danger of going through this. but it's not discouraging anybody the usa, this a probably likely to be one of the most dangerous year for the refugees attempting

to go to southeast asia compared to last one decade. millions of people in turkey are struggling to make ends meet after inflation ballooned in 2022. life is particularly tough for the 3 point. 6000000 syrian refugees in the country. so don't go to all the reports from a stumble. people hope for a turnaround in their fortunes. next year i had a rog spends his days in the support man in a stumble. the 29 year old hasn't been able to work since he fell and injured his 22 years ago canyon surgery, but can't afford it. and his landlord, once inquiries the rent, ah mad, like many other syrian refugees, is struggling as a turkish economy weekend. he then on the hop, i'm very frustrated. i can't go to another country i can get treated here, and i can't return to a liberal to see my family accounts, enjoy simple things in life like other people. my age here, i'm a stranger. the worst thing is that i'm young,

any achievement in my country, better than in another country. this is more valuable to me. i hope all those syrians entered kia can return home to better conditions one day, sir, as a position held areas, are also affected by the inflation across the border as they use a turkish currency. instead of trying to make basie food items available. but we make only a small profit because of the changing prices. in a year, the turkish era has lots 40 percent of its value against the u. s. dollar and inflation is expected to remain high in 2023. despite government promises to reduce it, leaving syrians whether they live as refugees into care or have returned home to opposition health areas with limited opportunities. c, m. q solo al jazeera stumble. still had an al jazeera ethiopian airlines resume slides to revel held region. as officials try to cement a p steel, tens of thousands of people remain in the dark after the so called blizzard of the

who the grey and forces leaders has said that the fight to have now disengaged on the forefront, which they've been fighting in recent months. but they have said the ever tray and troops still present. now the peace deal said the foreign forces should withdraw or train troops throughout the t. as of this conflict have fought on the side of the federal government. and they've been accused of losing villages in killing civilians, even since that bill was signed. ever try really comments on these allegations? soldiers have also been accused the committed atrocities against civilians over the last, yet just absolutely targeted math because the other side in this conflict have been accused of the same people integrate will now be waiting to see if indeed the foreign forces will pull out as well. if it will draw close to this complex. all

right, thanks so much malcolm web. soviet president has raised the military's combat readiness to the highest level tension between serbia uncomfortable escalated on sunday. after shots were fired as a border town in northern costs over sylvia refuses to recognise costs of ours and independent states. president alexander voted, says the military must agree to defend this country's territorial integrity. nato is now investigating. let's bring in joe joe for a scone and i know it's l. e. the research fellow at the balkans desk of the italian institute for international political studies. good to have you with us. so 1st of all that start with the latest outbreak of violence. what prompted that so this morning, the barricades appear so seeing the main nickel service he did. so it is

possible that was coming through the word private tracks where it put all the loads after 16 days where and during which this prox had been on the main road leading to the board there would serve. yeah. so this is a kind of how to say escalation that has political roots and that it is. and this is why it's important for me, it is not man to, to lead to what you conflict between all civil and serve. yeah. well, on that point, soviet is putting its forces on a lud. what do you think it's preparing for? then? it's not a conflict with with cost of a the comment to stick with the comics readiness as 2 goals. one is a short term goal and a long term goal. short term goal is to show the mussels with fe

or the surgeon people. so to show that the serbia and in particular the serbian breast, then folks on the rocher as defending the national interest. and the interest of kosovo, serbs in what the goals are at. so thomas, problems. but the reality is that the target army cannot enter the on the costs of the problems again. and just a few weeks ago and sent a formal request to send a 1000 military parcel in kosovo and not to mission k for but does not receive any answer so far. so this is only 2, as i said, to show a political and military muscles to lead

electro bud because this is mainly our political crisis. all right, and let me, let me also what's the possibility of an internal conflict with in kosovo between the ethnic albanian cousins and ethnic subs in the north. the fact is that the d constable serves, are politically controlled by bay grade and directly by the serbian, pressed into alex on there, which. so everything they are doing, they are doing it because they have been order by, by this under voltage. and i d, n, the common sense will prevail and no one we load that from beginning to, to, ah, open directly a new company. but this doesn't mean that situation will come down to a la continued to be a very tense and 2 or mundane a kind of

a permanent escalation. all right, thank you so much for your analysis. like i'm the dest hall from one of north america's most severe winter storms in decades has risen to at least 50 more than half of those are in new york state. one of the worst affected regions in the us, some areas of buried under miss rufe, snow with residence, stranded in the cost for up to $2.00 days. meteorologist, sworn more snow is expected on tuesday. rosa and jordan reports. ah, the u. s. is 1st major storm left behind, picturesque ice creations and opportunities to play in the snow. but as officials said on monday, this storm was and is all very dangerous. i have the very sad news to report

that in addition to the 13 confirmed deaths yesterday, the erie county department of health medical examiners office has confirmed an additional 12 deaths bringing the total. ready for the blizzard to 25 deaths county wide, that number is expected to go up, not just in new york state, but across the country. as rescue crews struggle to reach both residents and drivers trapped during the blizzard. new york state was already trying to recover from a blizzard in early december. in this last storm, his historic storms are no longer historic to us. that's become a way of life in our state, and that's the result of climate change. as you seen, see extreme weather events all over our country. but all of us in state and county, local government know we had to prepare for the next big one. the storm forced us airlines to cancel thousands of flight, meaning hundreds of thousands of travelers nationwide have to wait and wait to get

to their destination. while in south carolina, a frozen pipe that ruptured has put that state's largest food bank temporarily out of business. all that is in all the food and bruises, with all of it is all meteorologist st. temperatures nationwide should rise during the week, making it easier for the ice and snow to melt. residents of the buffalo area that break in the weather can't come quickly enough. another 30 centimeters lift snow is in the forecast through tuesday. rosalyn jordan al jazeera. i'll cross the border in canada authorities issued blizzard warnings in several provinces. the government says at least a $140000.00 homes are without electricity. most of them in ontario and quebec, health authorities say 52 people were hospitalized meteorologists. a warning

sun. the number of people living in space grew china. now has a permanent home in orbit 24 years after the launch of the international space station. but 2 missions shattered targets. the 1st literally, the half ton dart satellite slammed into a 160 meter wide asteroid called di morphis, at 6 kilometers per 2nd. it was a test of an earth saving defense system and it worked. the shimmering debris thrown up by the impact was captured by observatories around our planet. but nothing was as spectacular as the 1st images from the james web space telescope to the edge of time itself. more than 20 years in the making. 14 years late, the world's largest space base telescope, flu, one and a half 1000000 kilometers, and looked at a point in the sky smaller than a grain of sand held at arm's length. that grain contained a myriad of stars. webs. first picture revealed the oldest and furthest objects

humanize have ever seen ancient galaxies at the visible edge of the universe. now, these tiny dots of color are helping to fill in the picture of how everything began . the image provoked more questions we are looking as far back as currently humanly possible. and that is our goal is to keep trying to study further and further back us so that we can understand better at the time in cosmic history, that we've only been able to really see our eyes. webb's astronomers spotted water, carbon monoxide and gases that volcanoes release into atmospheres of planets. far beyond our son, one system orbiting a son known as trappist one, looks tantalizingly similar to our own though. now we have kind of our 1st chance at studying another star system that has a bunch of small rocky planets to say, okay, how different are they? what does that mean about their potential for supporting light?

and astronomers used web to make discoveries much closer to home. when i saw the 1st image of neptune with james web space telescope, i actually started to cry. i had been waiting for over 30 years to see this planet again, like that when i saw 1st of warmus with the rain system of neptune, the last time we had seen it was in 1989. when the void, your spacecraft flew over the cloud tops of neptune in 2023 web will study hundreds of new targets and probes will reach new asteroids that says india aims for a lunar landing and europe plans a mission to the i. c, moons of jupiter, colon baker al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera and these i headlines now. south korea is president yoon souk, so you'll says the country needs better.
