u. s. s. base. the pentagon says a 2nd balloon has been spotted over latin america. ah, my mother, inside the sound, they're alive to coming up. ukraine pushes closer to joining the e. u, but more forms are needed before any membership proposal is accepted. i'm gonna show lanka of the cash strapped governments decision to spend thousands on an independent stay parade. and look inside one of the world's largest jails. el salvador vales. it's new mega prison be capacity to house, 40000 inmates. ah, the united states has taken immediate diplomatic action over the presence of a chinese surveillance balloon above us soil. it says the balloon is

a clear violation of sovereignty. with the u. s. secretary of state postponing a plan visit to beijing. china says it's the civilian balloon and not being used was fine. but now there are reports that a 2nd balloon husband spotted over latin america. whitehouse. corresponding chimney hawk. it has more. the sing is up in the sky. china surveillance balloon is triggering a diplomatic rao that has prompted us secretary of state and toy blinkin to postpone his weekend trip to beijing is an irresponsible act. and that the piercing decision to take this action on the my plan visit is detrimental to the subset of discussions that we were prepared to have. the u. s. is accusing china, a violating international law. the balloon is still hovering over the skies of the united states. it was 1st tracked over the aleutian islands near alaska,

and travelled through western canada and into the u. s. state of montana where it was spotted near a military installation home to some of america's nuclear missiles. i have no idea the thing that seemed so brazen and just so insane to me that that any one would even attempt to just worship balloon over the sky. the chinese foreign ministry acknowledged ownership of the balloon and expressed regret for the incident, but said it was merely collecting whether data not intelligently. the pentagon has its doubts. still, it says the balloon is not a threat to any one on the ground or planes since it's flying well above commercial air traffic. but there are questions about why the pentagon is allowing the chinese surveillance balloon to linger, looking at the potential for debris and the impact on civilians on the ground or

property damage right now, as i mentioned we, we assessed that it is not pose a risk to people on the ground as it currently is traversing the continental united states. that hasn't satisfied biden's critics and congress who believe the u. s. needs to take further action to punish china account reward. the ccp for this kind of fly in violation of her sovereignty by pretending everything is businesses normal in a grip and grin session was, she's been paying as this was happening, would have been a terrible look for us diplomacy. the ccp will continue to push the envelope, and so we pushed back. this isn't the 1st time the china has lives just by balloon over the united states. the pentagon says that in recent years, surveillance balloons have been spotted over guam and hawaii. but in the case of this current balloon, the pentagon won't say whether or not it eventually will be shot down only that it's expected to drift over the united states for the next couple of days. kimberly

helped get al jazeera, the white house authenticating, corresponding passing call, hain, has mall in the 2nd believe that's been spotted was able to get in touch with the pentagon official who told me and this is a very carefully worded statements. i'm going to go ahead and read it. we are seeing reports of a balloon over latin america. we now assess that it is a chinese surveillance balloon. so of course i asked the question, you're seeing reports, what kind of reports are these media reports? are these reports from governments in latin america because they wouldn't say exactly where in latin america or does the us have some sort of capability, some sort of radar capability over latin america. they, we so we really don't know where they're getting this information. that's pretty much all the variable to confirm to al jazeera right now. the chinese said this was a, basically a climate balloon media logical balloon that was blown off course. if it's more than one balloon, that's going to be a much harder story to sell. because obviously a,

were they doing multiple experiments? so again, they are confirming that they do believe that there is a 2nd chinese surveillance balloon over latin america somewhere. but again, will not confirm what these reports are. katrina, you half mon, the reaction from beijing. initially, china's foreign ministry express regret or the incident, but now it seems to be taking more of a defensive dog. we had a statement released on saturday morning, but it board ministry saying that this was a for may yet accident that occurred due to circumstances beyond their control and accusing us. politicians are taking advantage of the situation to attack credit china. we also heard that one chinese has spoken to lincoln and he said, according to this, read out that the com to keep communicate communication channels open to avoid this

judgement and then reiterated that china was saying that the ground. these are groundless accusations that this is not a lie balloon. you're trying to abide by each national law and had no intention of violating us sovereignty. now we've also seen some very state media reports. similarly, hitting back at the u. s. is response saying that this incident was being used hype, said the threat about china. now, analysts have said that this really demonstrates some distrust between the 2 countries of those going home distress the level of trust between china and other countries, including canada, which is also some in china over this incident that happened at a very bad time or china. it's coming out of 3, it is of self employed, corporate isolation. it's also tried to reach out to other countries in an effort to, to boost its own economy. so it's certainly going to hum those efforts. but we know, ultimately this is the major blow to the us china relationship, which has been already fraught over the last few years till ear officials have met

in key for a highly symbolic summit. equations, president volume is lensky, is the block to speed up its membership? the youth calling for more reforms natasha butler has more from keith. ah, there 8 sirens sounded in keys at the start of the you ukraine. summit a meeting as much about symbolism as talks you leaders side by side with ukraine's president in keith, a show of the block support for ukraine and a message to moscow that despite its attempts, keeps looking west. ukraine wants to join the you. it's candidacy was accepted last year and it won't succession negotiations to be fast tracked. but a you lead to say that fulfilling the many conditions required may take years. there are no rigid timelines but their goal that you have to reach reforms, for example, to improve a situation in the canada country to then reach at the accession negotiations and

the session exec itself. your the termination to forge ahead is impressive. nasir 4 talks also focused on military support. the ukraine follow to ms. lewinsky once again urging western leaders to send keep more weapons. yes, or would the prisoners broil? if weapons deliveries or accelerated, namely long range weapons, we will not only not withdraw from buckman. we will begin to de occupied storm ras, one which has been occupied since 2014. when is the last will grow. b u says it will continue center military and humanitarian aid ukraine and we'll train 30000 ukranian soldiers. it also pledged money. 40 mining and reconstruction in the country, as well as a new round of sanctions against russia. the 10th packages on its way. we have the

ukraine and his neighbors. some have been delayed as in moscow with more on rushes response, the latest us aid package. when in the last few minutes we heard from the kremlin thing that the world must not forget the comments made by president tutoring. in, in the remembrance of starting rod just 24 hours ago where the russians have said that they do not welcome the thanks to ukraine president put in diluted to what happened 80 years ago. and thing that net, once again, it is german tank headed to word the russian border with crosses on them. and russia is going to make use of its full capability and it is going to respond to it . he did fall short of thing that is going to be done headed to word it's voted with europe in countries. but it did say that this is going to be something that

history also has a lesson for all of the people who are helping your brain. obviously, pointing towards the 2nd world war, and this is something that we've heard from the russian government is the beginning of the war of painting it with the picture of how not the germany, what the war against russia. russia has insisted that it is war, went to war with your brain because of the presence of what it calls, not seed. and that is why it continues to be there to make sure that it's void is protected from what it's called. it's good. this is something that russia is going to be continuing on as we enter the, the stages of the 1st anniversary of the war. people and sure lank as capital and taking to the streets to protest the cost of a parade marking independence day. $550000.00 worth of public funds has been used at the military parade in columbus. the country is in the midst of its worst economic crisis,

tighten a, the collective belt of the country to ensure that costs are brought down. he warned that, you know, there's a difficult road ahead to work towards fiscal reforms are they are really struggling to get hold of an i am if be loud package, but at the same time and in the same breath, you find the president saying that we must celebrate independence, because people will otherwise think that the country is unable to even do that. the indian stock exchange has imposed restrictions on the trading of shares of all companies owned by the tycoon. gotta a donnie, more than a $100000000000.00 has been wiped off the valley of his a. danny group off to allegations of fraud. and his government is denying links to the group have new metal reports on the political fallout from new delhi. a danny's financial crisis is threatening to become the political one. friday session of parliament was a john to within 10 minutes as opposition parties continued to raise the issue. the

a 50 year low for the united states. and this comes also as sort of a conundrum, because we've seen the headlines from last month of some, $10000.00 layoffs going the other direction with especially the tech sectors of companies like meta amazon, microsoft, all announcing massive layoffs. so how does that all make sense? well, economists have said that perhaps it's because these laid off tech sector workers are so quickly finding new jobs that they're not unemployed for long, or they're choosing not to look for new jobs as of now. and that theory seems to have been supported by these new numbers out today, given that we're now looking at close to, to job openings for each person searching for a job currently in the united states. oh, salvador was president naive, but kelly has defended a newly unveiled mega prison built to house thousands of village gang members. the said cool terrorism contains sent has been built outside tech luca,

southeast of the capitol. some salvatore, i'm in fisher, has will. it's the biggest prison in the americas and will be home to $40000.00 inmates, including some of the most violent people on the continent. as the ne berkeley was given a special tour of the jail at tech a lou built in just 7 months later, he was shown, the 7 security rings from the watch towers and electric fences for the solid, steel isolation sale of bomb their record m. okay. so it's important to remember that the people that will be held here, the terrorists who will be here are the highest ranking members of the gangs, the historic leaders. el salvador has a gang problem. in march last year, the government declared the state of emergency to fight it previous efforts to break the gangs in el salvador. overcrowded jails haven't worked. even with 24 hour locked don's stripping and humiliating inmates even putting rival gangs into overcrowded cells together. they were still able to run their operations on the outside and smuggle in fornes computers, guns, even prostitutes. then last year,

police, an army arrested more than $62000.00 suspect, the gang members, and those that what with the that the crack don't his lead human rights organizations to complain. innocent people are being scooped up. civil rights are being ignored. but ordinary people tired of gang violence, say they're happy with the changes it's bringing with what i like them because at least now with he'll fell before we always thought something could happen to last before we trusted. no one way. now we shall save him with 60000 people already in jail. el salvador has 2 percent of its adult population behind bars, the highest incarceration rate in the world. the present will start accepting new inmates in the coming days. they will be guarded by around $600.00 troops and $250.00 police officers. it will say the authorities be impossible to escape. alan

for example. they also help shape climate patterns. and of course, are a lot of for the well providing protein for 3000000000 people and an income to at least 10 percent of the world's population. so the oceans are provide a main source of food for the last large proportion of our planet. so if we think about fisheries, just in the tropics alone, we think that tropical fisheries employ about 200000000 people. so that's directly and indirectly livelihoods. that depends on fishing activity out food, food, and fish, in particular, is the main source of protein for any of the vulnerable coastal communities around the world. and in addition to providing the source of food, the ocean is also a key regulator of the global climate system. bucks the oceans are in trouble. reef said dying ecosystems are collapsing fisheries. a disappearing drastic measures are required. currently, less than 9 percent of our asians have some form of protection and that's often not even enforced. 30 by 30 to plan to protect 30 percent of our world's oceans by 2030

ames to more than triple that with better oversight too, it would be a kind of global network or protected zones that could have a dramatic effect on restoring ecosystems by diversity. and fish populations, what we have there is an international efforts to, on the one hand realized the volume of our oceans, both in terms of by the vested deregulation of the climate and the value for people . and we have discussed this with efforts to protect the ocean from our human activities. there is a substantial challenge because there is, as you know, a lot of human activity in the ocean. so that means displace alex steve's a t and perhaps limiting is. and therefore, de livelihoods that depend on those activities. so it is quite a complex challenge to, to achieve. it is counter intuitive, but the evidence is if you protect more, you can catch more. the bottom line is what's good for the ocean is also good for us and the world we live in. oh.
