6:02 pm
ah, we stop this news are the united states where flights the resuming after a technical glitch saw thousands of planes grounded for hours. all them 4300 flights were delayed and 750, canceled, and passages are now being warned. it could take hours to clear the backlog. the problem is being blamed on a computer outage of the federal aviation administration. the u. s. government's transport agency what caused it is still unclear, but officials say there's no evidence so far of a cyber attack present. jo biden's ordered an investigation or we have several correspondence covering this story for us. our white house correspondent, kimberly how cut in washington dc. john hendern in el paso, texas over heathrow airport in the british capital. we have nadine bob, but 1st we go to heidi joe castro, who's at reagan airport in virginia. heidi i'm the americans of course, are waking up to all sorts of news,
6:03 pm
all problems and challenges with travel. what are you seeing there in terms of people's experiences? will need the one good thing about this isn't we are in the middle of the week and it is a very light travel day. and i saw many worry travelers here at ronald reagan airport, just outside of washington, who were worried that they wouldn't be able to get out of here at all. but it turns out currently the delay here is between one to 2 hours on average. so a lot of relieved faces, though it is still perhaps too early to tell, given that there are some 21000 flight scheduled to come in and out of us airports today. and we're only about an hour into this resumption of normal traffic patterns . but plains are moving behind me on the turmack. they were still overnight and in the morning hours. but we're seeing some movement now. we're certainly seeing relieved travelers and also some worry about why this happened,
6:04 pm
which is still an unanswered question as to why that safety system went down in the 1st place. many thank side e will of course, huge number of questions still yet to be answered over now to john hendrick, who joins us live from el paso, texas. and a johnny is all that long ago says, of course the u. s. president himself was in el paso, any sign of disruption, sir? well, there are a number of lies that have been delayed. if you look at the board, it has a delay after delay, but those are only for the flights that left up until 7 am local time. we're in mountain time here. so those delays began in the east coast when planes were leaving earlier. and they have sort of come across the country, but because the delay ended at 7 am local time here, there were really very few flights that were not able to take off. so those are now taking off. we're seeing people check in in to give you an idea of how efficient
6:05 pm
the system is. our photographer has a flight in about 10 minutes. i suspect he's going to miss it because the plane was already here. but for other people, if you've got a flight coming in, those delays reverberate throughout the system. i had a flight later today we've already gotten. notice that it will likely be delayed because it's delayed where it's coming from. it was not able to move when it needed to, and that's the kind of notice people across the country are getting right now. this is a particularly small airport, limited number of flights. so it probably won't be affected as much as many other airports. some of the big hub is, for instance, there probably be tie ups that cause people delays across the country. but here, very little impact and things are swinging right back in emotion. all right, john, 100 and live in el paso, texas. thank you for that over now to our white house correspondent. kimberly, how could you join us from washington d. c. i. kimberly got the sense um, john, that it could have been much, much worse than it actually was,
6:06 pm
at least in certain airports across the country. nevertheless, the us president has said that an investigation is needed me. this is critical infrastructure. so this has reached the highest level in terms of an investigation, the president ordering this, given the fact that this is a safety system put in place to make sure that pilots have information that will allow them to land as well as take off. this is known as the note hem system as the notice to air missions that allows for pilots to get in and out of the united states. and so every single flight was for a period of several hours round it. and while those flights have resumed, we still don't know the cause of this outage, and so we are expecting to be updated by the federal aviation administration. the white house is said for now, there is no evidence of a cyber attack, but still, this is something that the white house says needs to be investigated. there need to
6:07 pm
be answers at the public, will be demanding answers. so once again, this is something that has resumed, the ground stop has been lifted, but the economic impact and the disruptions are not only affecting the united states passengers by the 10s of thousands, but have affected global flights. kimberly, and let's see how long it takes for some of those answers to be questions and talking about global flights that cross over the other side of the atlantic. now to nadine bob or his live at heathrow airport. and of course in a team, heathrow is one of the busiest airport in the world. it's where trans atlantic flights come and go any sign of disruptions there. leave as of now, no sign at all as of disruption. as you were saying, he thought one of the world's busiest passenger reports and it's responsible for a quarter of all non stop flights from europe to the united states. now
6:08 pm
looking at flight truckers flights to a variety of u. s. fascination john to go on tie with chicago, los angeles, a bit of a different picture in front of the airport, silver shop to go, or what c, as well as ot lead airport in the capitol said that they expected delays several hours ago, bought lufthansa and air france, flight deeds continue to depart in spain. there were delays of several hours with some flight home, including american airlines flight to destination such as new york at miami, florida. but i very airlines were able to continue all of their flights. i scheduled. i believe that because they use a different my
6:09 pm
t system. so some delays in some places in europe, but everything back to normal as we understand right now. or i for now, nadine bob oliver. he to apple many thanks. ah. in other news, at least 21 people have been killed in a suicide explosion in the african capital kabul near the foreign ministry office, a dozen more people have been injured. the bloss reportedly happened when a chinese delegation was meeting with the taliban. the foreign ministry, or by de la, by here, is a lecturer at the american university of afghanistan in cowboy. he joins us now live from there via skype. so what exactly are the taliban authorities staying precisely about this time? i need another saturday for a bonus on there to major concerning aspects of what happened today. ready one was
6:10 pm
that this is that a very high security area. there are multiple checkpoints. you have to have specific documents to access that street. and the fact that it happens at such a bad moment is concerning and then use your are telling us that 21 casualties have occurred, whereas the planet bonds still officially only claimed 5 that these discrepancies are alarming. there are troubling. we've seen the pilot bon do this before. it doesn't help the security off the city to deny numbers off the actual casualty. so a lot of questions, very little answers. where does suspicion lie? ah, well the profile fits i. s k i s k has been making advances and has been conducting such sophisticated attacks. we saw an attack on chinese. we've been up on a fun in kabul a few weeks ago. and then this, while at
6:11 pm
a high level meeting is taking place is concerning because it drives foreign engagement away. the thought of bon policies have been helped. and then having the one thing that looked like a win for the ones which was the security situation improving. that is fost dispelling and why might specifically this chinese delegation be seen as a target? i think anyone who is a foreigner is a target. i think that they're looking for high profile targets to hit so that they could get more and more media coverage. the fact that the planet bomb can hide and deny other attacks that occur, including the attack that happened on cobbled air force, the official casualties of which the pilot by never released an attack such as these tend to capture the international media imagination. and that's what i a ski on the world map and makes it a real threat for up on
6:12 pm
a fun for everyone else over to live here, lecture at the american university in afghanistan and of kind of stone. rather, in kabul, many thanks for that leasing germany's northwestern village of loose harass our vixen climate activists to allow the expansion of an open pit coal mine, of course, is rejected. the protest is request to stay and police have started removing them. or the 1000 professors hoping camp to loose rafts since sunday stuff. rawson has more sense and dawn police basically ran into the village of little hot. they're creating chaos among the climate protesters. and since that moment there have been dragging and carrying out carrying out climate activists, one by one and what we seeing now in the last few hours or so is that the more technical staff of police is involved in the operation. as you can see here are some activists are caged in. they have caged himself in this structure here and
6:13 pm
a people from police with climbing equipment. i'm now going up in this says structure. they have been taking out activists. the one by one or the activists are screaming a little hard to should stay. we shouldn't move this village because of the expansion of the mine. but police say has been instructed after the government has decided that this late night, coal is still needed for germany for the energy supplies because of the war and ukraine. they say we have no other choice but to expand this mind for the moment. so this village here, little hard as you can see, is now going to be demolished. there's a lot of heavy equipment, bull doses here as well as i have to say to police is making a quite some progress here in this last few hours. a lot of police have already moved in way into the village, but what they'll find there is a lot of activists high up in trees. 10 to 20 meters high in 3 houses and also on
6:14 pm
the roofs everywhere. so they will have to get some, some special skills to get them out. ok, well let's take a closer look at exactly how germany uses call. the end of last year. it was the nation's biggest source of power supply more than a 3rd of the electricity produced and fed into the grid. other sources of energy included, wind, solar, and natural gas. germany has a plan to stop using coal power by 2030, but at the same time, the usage of coal is accelerating because of the war, new crane. and the resulting energy shortages and germany is replacing russian gas with coal power stations. and now restarting expanding and staying open for more years than planned. orrick brewed now is a political analyst and professor of political science at stanford university in berlin. he says the protest in loose wrath won't stop german, german's current reliance on co. well,
6:15 pm
certainly what happens in this tiny village doesn't change the bigger picture. the bigger picture is that germany decided on the spot to finish imports up. i'm itchy from russia, given the high energy dependency of this was a major step. and given that we have a government with a strong se of the green party, it was also absolutely clear that fading out from nuclear energy will not be postponed. so without rushing energy and without nuclear energy, there's not much left given the fact that the increase of renewables doesn't accelerate as quickly as one would wish. it is not an option to increase renewables on a short notice. so that's why they have also to swallow on promises and appear in the eyes of more radical environmentalist groups like the ones that demonstrate in the village as
6:16 pm
a party that is just giving up its core beliefs and they are for it's an ideological battle. it doesn't change climate change and it doesn't change the energy dependency of germany, but it shows that people are active, the engaging and democracy and that's at the end of the day, a good thing, as long as they don't use violence. plenty of all i had of the news now including heavy fighting in east ukraine as russia steps up. it's assaults with the help of a group of mercenaries. i tens of thousands of opposition support is of gathered, elite bangladesh, capital. manchester united reached the semifinals of the english league, cup will show you how they did it. a rebels in ethiopia, northern to cry, region have begun hand again the heavy weapons to the federal army of
6:17 pm
a piece still signed in south africa. more than 2 months ago. to end a 2 year conflict, the terms of that agreement include disarming the rebels, restoring federal authority into crime, and reopening humanitarian access in the region. the un estimates half a 1000000 people have died, violence and starve ation. during the conflict, hundreds of thousands have been forcing their homes. malcolm webb has more from the kenyan capital nairobi to bring forth the said that they're handing over the weapons. we've seen some video of that before, from the ground, confirming that some heavy weapons being handed over. we don't know how many we don't know if it, all of them another to go in forces. lead is dominated previously dominated ethiopians, military and politics for all my. when the conflict began between them and the government of prime minister had just david 2 years ago, they defected with a substantial fraction of the military. that was loyal to them. now the peace
6:18 pm
agreement that was signed in south africa and also 2nd agreement signed here in kenya's capital nairobi, stated the weapons were handed over that the federal government forces should withdraw from 2 great and same time in foreign forces. should all say we've drawn out access is still heavily restricted to great, difficult to verify the claim that humanitarian access has opened up a bit in recent weeks. typically deborah michael is an activist and associate editor of got a website, the documents, crimes, and to cry. he explains why the grand rebel is agree to disarm. they have to accept what that, what has been put to them now is the trickling of a exchange. the total disarmament of principals is the only posted, not protecting the tracking, but again it be bought by every sample and now
6:19 pm
immense amount of suffering, right? in terms of trying to get them to go basic necessities for medicine. one thing understood right, people are simply desperately hoping that the chapel and the community we learn some sort of a with, with trickling so much that people could play around with now they have to simply succumb to whatever demand of them and hope that something would happen no one knows what's going to happen to the members of the spec because forces. so it could be agreement fine in africa to include likely in i will be it that there would be what they call an demobilization. and the read the question. so they have agreed that they will be really great into the apartment if you can just
6:20 pm
by barry, better unlike any men, the officer guy would find the idea of joining the fairy forces. re tens of thousands of the van woman that they would join into that. so i don't see that. i mean, they talk reintegration would be different pulses. ukraine says the fighting over the eastern times of back, moot installer, dumb of the bloody is battles of the war. so for russian forces led by mysteries. from the wagner degree, i've been trying to seize control of the area for months. moscow says it's units of cut off access to solid. the ukraine denies the salt mining town has fallen. russia media has released these image of wagner. leda yevgeny. pro, goes in the mines there. here says the pictures were staged. natasha butler house more from keith avenue on the russian defense mystery saying that an airborne,
6:21 pm
russian airborne units of surrounded the town from the north and the south. earlier we heard of from the head of the russian mercenary, a group wagner, yevgeny gordon. who said that his fighters had taken control of the city even posted a photograph of himself alongside some of his troops saying he was in one of the town soap minds. well, that certainly has not been confirmed or verified. but what we do know is that the ukrainian defense officials are saying none of this is correct. they are saying that ukrainian forces are still fighting in the air. in fact, one top military official said fighting between ukrainian forces and russians was intense. he compared it to battles in world war 2. it is a very difficult situation on the ground. we know that. and in the past few days, though, british officials from the ministry of defense have indicated that to solar dark could indeed perhaps fall into rushing hands shortly. now if that was to happen
6:22 pm
from the russian perspective, it would certainly be something of a victory of bracken field gain, which they haven't had for many weeks and months. they would also allow them to focus more on the town of blackmore to which isn't far from solar. dar, a victory there for them would be highly symbolic. ukrainian and russian forces have been locked in intense fighting there for many months indeed. okay, well let's take a closer look at russia's wagner, group. pirate paramilitary force was established in 2014 after moscow alex crimea. the group was founded by russian business, man, you have any per goes in, who's close to president vladimir putin. he also has a catering business and was once called putin chef. the vulgar group recently recruited russian prisoners to fighting ukraine, promising they be free men on their return. that's of course, if they survived, the group has also been active outside of ukraine is present in palm. so if the middle east and in west african countries such as molly and bettina foster, i'm so as payment to the group receives different sources of foreign incomes,
6:23 pm
including natural resources. samuel romani is an associate fellow as a rule united services institute. he says the wagner group is gaining momentum as a force. and so i was, i was it's head if any proposing. well the water now is a drastically expanded dad military force. at the u. s. estimates show this guy, 50000 troops and 40000 convicts and 10000 profit margin contractors. and that's much larger than it was before. i look back 5 years ago. the only at 6000 now they've got 50000. so this is significant death, military for us, it's eroni is to say that the water group is completely calling the shots for the russian military is true, that they're dominating back mood and in cylinder. but elsewhere on the front lines, there's still the qatar, off the, the so separatist militias and still obviously russia regular forces and constructs that are taking late. but having a victory in cylinder, if it does happen where the water group is solely responsible for it would be a major boost ripper. goshen zack,
6:24 pm
right above the stature at home. we're already seeing sam. russian pro commentators a your car jenko, one of the most popular ones and received one saying that she'd be elevated to the role of major general. so he's getting a lot of popularity and support out of us. russia and ukraine have agreed to a prisoner swapped with a meeting between the countries. human rights officials and turkey. 80 people were, will be released in the exchange. so them costello house more from a stumble. this is not the 1st time that turkey has meditated between russia and ukraine in terms of prisoners swap, but also turkey has been many, a thing about reducing the tension between the 2 countries as well. apparently at what uncle has defined itself as a role in this conflict in its neighborhood. and the black sea is to be a balancing act between the warring parties to care has been very clear and very vocal about. it's a stance against the russian invasion of ukraine,
6:25 pm
but also to kia, has provided a weapons like drones arm phones, turkish made drones to crane, but also managed to mediate within the country. and that's why this position of turkey as a balancing factor has been appreciated by most of the circles, especially at the time when to kill lost credibility. in international every now has a strange relations with the west, even with nato, as a strong member of nato. turkey has very hard statements against the against the started scull the, the infrastructure of nato. but after this mediation effort, especially after the grain deal that was initiated by the united nations to give found itself a very secure position. the jefferson pound is plenty to a new record low against the us dollar. one year ago was worth around $15.00 to $1.00. now is the value to 30 to want this fresh balance of volatility comes 2
6:26 pm
months after cairo agreed to a $3000000000.00 rescue loan from the international monetary fund. and let's say this may be a sign car. i was shifting towards a flexible exchange rate mechanism. box by the m f still had on al jazeera will tell you why thousands of ambulance workers in the u. k. have gone on strike for a 2nd time this winter. and the holy town in the indian himalayas is sinking. and now hundreds of families to be forced to leave and support will tell you about an injury scare for nova joke of it had a history. ah there is another pacific storm taking aim at northern california, hebron. here's those details right now. this one's going to impact san francisco
6:27 pm
and you know, already the city has blown past. it's january average rainfall, and there is more to come. the last storm for the los angeles area dumped a years worth of rain nearly a years worth of rain in 48 hours. but with this next storm system, it's also going to impact western areas of oregon, washington state, and that western side of vancouver island in canada. to these we go and around the great lakes, things will turn brown white here by thursday. so let me explain what's going on. we've got this warm feet of air through the golf. it's going to meet up with cooler air brushing off of the rockies. that's going to sparked some storms on thursday from the mississippi river valley right up to the ohio river valley. now most of the energy can be found up through the gulf of mexico. so just some showers for the pacific and caribbean coast of central america. and for the top end of south america, stretching from the pacific coast straight through to the atlantic showers in storms here. weather alert, still in play for ma, now's and brazil. ya. and then we've got this batch of what weather around
6:28 pm
commodore riva davia. most of the energy looks to say offshore, but if it moves even a bit, some torrential downpours for common doro on wednesday. that's it. see later, ah, ah . a full, discarded clothes from rich nations, are funneled to charities and sold to impoverished nations. on an unprecedented scale, a massive industry sift through the unwanted garments to resell to some of the
6:29 pm
world's poorest inhabitants. but much of what arrives is unfit for purpose and is fueling environmental catastrophe. people in power travelers to garner to uncover the dirty secret behind the wolves fashion a decay dead. white man's clothes on edge is eda ah ah. bog about what she al jazeera, a reminder of our top stories, this our flights the resuming of the u. s. southward technical glitch saw thousands of planes grounded for hours. the problems being blamed on a computer outage at the federal aviation administration. president jo biden's ordered an investigation at least 21 people have been killed in
6:30 pm
a suicide explosion in the african capital kabul, the the foreign ministry office. the bloss happened when the chinese delegation was meeting with the taliban rebels in ethiopia. northern decry region have begun handing in their heavy weapons to the federal army. it's part of a peace deal signed in south africa more than 2 months ago to end the 2 year conflict. okay, well as return to our top story, the flights resuming in the united states after that system failure. let's bring in carl bailey, who's a in butler in new jersey, ease and aviation analysts. and for my after blaze safety team representative, he joins us live on skype. welcome to the news hour. so this has been called a glitch is being called a system, a failure. but do we have any more specific details of what that means and what the potential safety implications are? i know there's nothing yet i, i would say i probably will be within 24 hours. will find more information out. you
6:31 pm
know, here in the us government systems are, are very antiquated. they're kind of not like up to speed like the private sector. so my gut feeling, it is some sort of technical glitch. there is a lot of data and information coming into the system from all around the world, pretty much it's coming from every single airport in the united states. not just bigger points, but also smaller words. and does it affects also all the airspace that the u. s. airplanes flying gives a sense of the actual impact that it hides with flights. being grounded before they took off all what planes in the abilene told to land, how did it work? so claims in the air, it would not affect any information that was missed the your traffic controllers say if a wrong way is closed or say if there's an obstruction on the room with air traffic control could relay that to enter to a pilot in the air this system is affecting the planes prior to take off,
6:32 pm
so pretty much before an airline flight. the pilot checks the no tam system to see if there are any issues at either the departure airport or the arrival or, or, or even and routes such things as may be a mechanic eruption where air space might be closed or, or runways being closed. so if it's not a threat to imminent safety, for planes in the air, to pretty much limited to planes that have not taken off yet. i think what is a stories that the entire country's flights were affected by this? if there were a huge implications about the impacts of any other potential system being affected, that is true. and you know, apparently from what we're hearing out, the system is back up and running. but you know, the, the effects from that being down for several hours, which is cascade throughout the day. you know, as we know, as, as your, your audience knows from traveling, you know, an airplane starts out point a and then goes to point b point see, point day. so if an airplane is in stuck somewhere,
6:33 pm
it just doesn't pick up. i mean, if your number 3 on the plane stop, i mean this basically could cascade for, you know, 2448 hours. maybe you belong, or of course the, the white house are very quick to, to rule out the possibility of hacking. but this does seem to be a pretty significant achilles heel in the network. yes, i'm, if again, again, i wouldn't rule anything out. but, you know, i think if, if somebody wanted to do serious damage up to the system or if this isn't affecting flights in the air, i think if somebody was after doing damage to something they wouldn't go after, you know, perhaps something that would do more damage again, i'm not leaning towards that. i'm not a 100 percent. sure. but i will. we'll see how everything plays out. ok, carl bailey. many thanks for joining us. thank you. a number of attacks
6:34 pm
against pakistani police is raised concerns about violence by the pakistani taliban . last november, the on group ended a ceasefire. an audit is fighting to launch attacks against the pakistani state. i thought bake has more police in pakistan on high alert. it comes after the buck funny taliban talkative police in recent weeks and threatened to prime minister and foreign minister. but in the province of haber bucklin cwa, it's the police who are on the front line. the militants have cooked them, says with mil sites on weapons. no loss, thomas hates are being used by m militants, or on guns sniper weapons. and they are targeting policemen at, at night time, on rooftops of the police dition where they're gardening or on really a stick point. but just days ago, 2 police officers and one civilian were killed during an attack by the pakistani
6:35 pm
daddy. bon, the situation has angered locals, who fear a return to violence. they took to the streets to voice their opposition to the taliban. the threat is very real. ah, the bach stanley taliban released this training video promising more attacks and declare and gets intention to impose its hard line interpretation of islam clause and its opposition to the pakistan military merit. technologically eating, early push to ah, very, very disturb because our, these are many can see like, or situation life here in a copy kegler and the people are receiving the ransom, threatening dom target lingam for the situation is very, very ela, a very been allowed me in the capitalist summer box, they have the warnings of possible attacks. i can skip the mats and foreigners 2022
6:36 pm
. so 150 attacks carried out by the buck stony play, bought, killing dozens of people. one good thing that we have seen in the recent past is that people love the concern areas, leg must have seen in swat, and in was, it is fun. where the whole population, irrespective for their a party affiliation, they all got together and they all protested and they sure there is all for now this hope authorities will be able to deal with this threat and they won't be a return to violence. i said, bake al jazeera bel early results from beneath the election suggests the opposition will return to parliament for the 1st time. in 4 years, the democrats, 128 seats out of the 109 member assembly, was barred from running in the last election in 2019, but the party won a court order in november allowing its members to stand in sundays, pol lamid interests joins us live now from casa new for more on there. so this looks like quite a reversal of fortune habit for this political opposition. absolutely,
6:37 pm
it is. and for many political analisia, maybe it's a good start. they, they may not have gotten enough seats in parliament to change the laws as they wanted. knows that they call draconian that anaemic called in their words to the growth of democracy in this country. but yes, they are in parliament. and it's significant in many respect because according to the latest electron law, ah person running full are the seat of the president must be endorsed or sponsored by members of parliament and may as across the countries. but if you don't have a member or a seat in parliament, it will be difficult for you are to get the endorsement of these candidates. so for the opposition party, they are probably taking the fall step. ah, that way in parliament would be very, very difficult because they don't even constitute half or even a 3rd of the number of seats in parliament. the two's political part is the biggest
6:38 pm
political project in parliament. now, to one is the progressive union that $153.00 states in parliament and the other, the republican movement which hire strength h sees exactly like the democrats. so and these, all these 2 parties, the leaders are closely allied with president patricia alone, who don't, by the way, have a party. although one can run for president without even a political part, just long as he can get the endorsement of members of parliament me as across the country. so that's the position of things right right now. but on the street, the streets account for now. this is a mark departure from what we saw in 2019, when violence ruptured when security forces confronted opposition for justice or took to the street. and apart from bad people are watching close need to see how the opposition leaders as well as their supporters react to the latest announcement by the electoral commission here in court. a law basically,
6:39 pm
what remains now is the endorsement of those provision results announced by the electoral commission here in the constitutional court by law has at least 7 days a maximum day, 7 days to do that. but one official from the electoral commission is telling us that this could happen in the next 2 or 3 days. i mean, what does this all mean for president patrice on a, as a matter of course, who is dogs by path control versus well, basically for him, it's a smooth right in parliament, although he doesn't belong to any political party. but the 2 leading parties in parliament are all allied with him. ah, their leaders are former ubs a supreme court judge, or constitutional court judge, and another who served under his government. so there are all supporting president polar talents, policies in parliament. so for him it's an important step and for many been in was this is a very important step because the process of opposition in parliament gives the
6:40 pm
