11:03 am
people. if you want to come in and out of there this last week, you've had to go through a very, very thorough searching process. so essentially you've been, should have locked in, and in this last week we understand these rail has been looking for 2 other individuals. they believe were connected to this attempt to drive by shooting. it seems that now on saturday they've identified them and they've gone into the camp to try and arrest them. and that's led to this confrontation, we do understand there have been arrests made and we believe these railways have left the camp. so this incident is now over the red crescent tells as 9 people have been wounded, their ambulances have now been allowed to go in to get the wounded and 2 of those people seriously wounded. and then it's, this certainly comes at a time of height, intentions in the range and doesn't it? it does. this has been an exceptionally violence just over a month. now in the occupied palestinian territories. $36.00 palestinians killed
11:04 am
since the start of the year. the you and human rights chief, actually on friday, vulgar tour called this illogical escalation of violence between israel. israel and the palestinians is refer him particularly by a plan by one of the far right members of israelis, of israel's cabinet, to loosen gun control or regulations to make it easy for israelis to carry guns. this was after 6 israelis and a ukrainian were killed in an attack outside a synagogue earlier last week and a 13 year old who's shot an injured to israelis in occupied east jerusalem as well in the last, in the last week or so. so it has been a particularly violence period fuel to many would say by this new israeli government, the most far right in israel's history with ministers in that government who will have, who are voted in by settlers who are committed to advancing the illegal settlement
11:05 am
project in the occupied west bank and committed it like making life harder than it already is a palestinians living under israel's occupation. so is the 10th time we appreciate the update as always been in smith live for us in ramallah. thank you. moving on now and the head of the roman catholic church is meeting bishops. pray, send out the christian leaders in its south, said jan, let's take some live pictures now of pope francis whose honor historic 3 day visit along and the ladies of the anglican church. and the church of scotland. later on saturday, he said to me, people affected by conflict. more than 2000000 sampson denise had been displaced by a years long civil war. her room in the tasa has worn out from the capital, juba. in a 1st since the birth of this nation, the head of the catholic church, pope francis's insults hidden together with the archbishop of canterbury justin welby, liter, at the anglican communion, and ian greenfield,
11:06 am
the moderator of the scottish church, the religious leaders on what they call a pilgrimage for peace in a country way. fighting continues to kill and displace large numbers of civilians. with you are cool to renew the life of society as pure sources of prosperity and peace. so greatly needed for the sons and daughters of south sudan. they need fathers, not overlords. they need steady steps towards development, not constant collapses. solid sedans lead us health care promised to resume talks with ob greeks who did not find the 2018 piece deal in one of the early fargo bomb threats to historic visit to our country. an hour do collaboration of 2023. as the year or piece area, consolation, imo,
11:07 am
visually or non soon the lifting of the suspension of their own. these talks will do one hour groups a day before this visit. several people were killed in central, equatorial state in violence between kettle, herders and a local militia. felts it on as a predominately christian nation in the past, the church is played a huge role in resolving differences between different ethnic groups and political parties. some people here hope this high profile visit encourages a politicians to work towards peace. now, boy, to leave the church has been urging south sydney's politicians not to return to war in 2019 pop frances, now to kiss the feet of foul to don's previously warring leaders during a meeting at the vatican, some west buck which is a worry about so much in the process that the letter dated bennett also saddam. and then on that note the chair to demand is to, to focus on seeing that to be believe that this sought to don,
11:08 am
broke away from saddam to become independent in 2011 after decades. a conflict, but long lost in peace remains elusive. people frustrated by how long it's taking to implement the peace agreement, have huge expectations. with so many crises happening elsewhere, they helped as high profile visit, reminds the world of the needs of thought, said on how to matessa algebra. java badging is calling for calm. as a giant chinese balloon continues to flourish over the united states. secretary of state to antony blinkin. it says that the blinds presence is an irresponsible act and has postponed his trip to china's capital at white house correspondent, kimberly how kit reports the sing is up in the sky. china surveillance balloon is triggering a diplomatic rao that has prompted us secretary of state antelope blinkin to
11:09 am
postpone his weekend trip to beijing is an irresponsible act. and that the p r c. decision to take the section on the if 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 push a balloon over the sky. the chinese foreign ministry acknowledged ownership of the balloon and expressed regret for the incident,
11:10 am
but said it was merely collecting weather data, not intelligently. the pentagon has its doubts. still, it says the balloon is not a threat to any one on the ground or plains 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 us needs to take further action to punish china can't reward the ccp for this kind of flagrant violation of our sovereignty. by pretending everything is businesses normal, anna a griffin grinned. session was, she's been paying as if it was happening. would have been a terrible look for us diplomacy. mississippi will continue to push the envelope
11:11 am
until we push back. this isn't the 1st time the china has lives just spy 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 help get al jazeera, the white house, and our pentagon correspondent petty calhane has more on that 2nd balloon that's been spotted. i. the latin america 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 seen 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?
11:12 am
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 terrible to confirm to al jazeera right now. the chinese said this was a basically climate balloon meteorological balloon that was blown off course. if that's more than one balloon, that's going to be a much harder story to sell. because obviously 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. for us is to send another $2000000000.00 worth of military assistance to ukraine. it will include longer range precision rockets for the 1st time. some have been job aid has more from oscar, on russia's response to this latest
11:13 am
u. s. a package. 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 russian has said that the do not welcome the. the thanks to ukraine president put in alluded to what happened 80 years ago and thing that net, once again, it is german times 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 seeing that is going to be headed toward its voters with european 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 ukraine, obviously pointing towards the 2nd world war. and this is something that we've
11:14 am
heard from the russian government since the beginning of the war of painting it with the picture of how not the germany was 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 and not see. and that is why it continues to be there to make sure that it's boarded are 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 still had john al jazeera in north america, in a deep freeze arctic air across the us and canada trends to bring reco low temperatures. and what you report says about corruption across latin america will have a data breach ah,
11:15 am
with that a big patent of europe's changed fairly recently. so you get an idea that everything is coming down across the german plane towards greece eventually that everything is cold weather. but further west, the area of high pressure is will settled in temperature to study rising to spain, portugal, and western france. there's actually relatively mild weather. and ireland and scotland as rain comes through and that's hitting western side of norway with proteins though in the mountains. but i think the biggest story is certainly here, although it looks like on saturdays suns out, and jerry, the stove is going to fall in parts of austria to the high ground. and more especially down in the whole of the southeastern part of europe, is heading down towards greece. if you take athens as an example of what's about to happen, you go from 13 to date that of 5 with sleet or snow showers during sunday, fairly windy weather, very slightly better on monday. but fort increase, i mean,
11:16 am
that's a huge change. so that's the big picture then even for sunday, all the action is down here more, maybe in turkey and greece, there is still snow around the out once more, but the wind is nothing like as strong quick look at what is happening in turkey, a huge amount of snow and then re for the south, for cyprus and coastal event with wind. not pleasant weather. ah. how do state control information most go is one of the day of the case in the world . it has an incredible facial recognition technology. how does the narrative improve public opinion? no walk. how is citizen, jim? listen, we framing the story. the video spread like wildfire, they do not do practice or in your brain. the listening post dissects the media. we don't cover the news, we cover the way the news is cover. oh,
11:17 am
a. hello, you're watching. oh, just 0. i'm emily angry. he's a reminder of our top stories. this balance, the head of the roman catholic church is meeting the legislative in south sudan. later on saturday, pope frances seems to speak to people displaced by complaint is called the latest to recommit to piece begging is calling for calm as a giant and chinese balloon float. so the united states, china says it's a civilian weather craft that secretary of state antony lincoln says its presence is irresponsible and at least 6 palestinians have been injured in the latest right
11:18 am
in the occupied west bank. israeli forces targeted the java refugee camp. the palestinian red crescent says ambulances have not been able to get him signed. hello, stevens, living in the border areas of the gaza strip, say they're increasingly vulnerable to israeli attacks. human odyssey has met several families whose homes have been damaged in israeli strikes medium and sweetie, and 9 members of her family. you still lives here before israel miss sales turned their home troubles during fighting with these lab. if you had group in august 2022, they lost everything. problem solid aff because we're on the border all the shells and missiles intercepted by the iron dome fall on us. so when the israeli strikes began, we quickly rushed out to our home, along with our neighbors. the next day we sent my son back to fetch some belongings

11:20 am
dozed and shepherd steak cover from guns wire. not far from what used to be millions home yard bade and his family have returned to theirs. it was rebuilt recently after being destroyed for a 2nd time in israel's 2021 war on godsa. yet his son helene was injured. he says they never feel say, what has been the 1st of november. i didn't. once we hear that any tension is taking place even before the 1st bullet is fired, we peck and leave our home because he is ready to find the tanks without prior notice. in an any direction. they fire randomly at us on a ra, helps with the reconstruction of houses for past unions living in border areas, putting it under additional financial strain. there is an enormous burden on owner . was to make this need after the conflict in may 21. we appeal to the
11:21 am
international community for funding. we have either rebuilt or repaired over $7000.00 houses, hearing garza to make sure that people have the bare minimum acceptable level of shelter or housing because of the constant wars in rouse of escalation, most palestinians in garza did not. he'll save. but those who live near the borders are the most vulnerable, because they have do where else to go. you'll see it al jazeera gas f. and during the u. s. has found test the found the ellen mosque did not defraud investors with tweet cease and in 2018. the not guilty verdict was reached after less than 2 hours of deliberation following a 3 week trauma, roomy consume, sharif has a vindication. ease on musk, the billionaire using the social media platform he now owns to celebrate any
11:22 am
comments. thank goodness, the wisdom of the people has prevailed. i am deeply appreciative of the jury's unanimous finding of innocence in the tesla for 20 take private case. the world's 2nd riches had testified for 8 hours and the witness than defending his motives for this treat. 4 years ago, i am considering taking tesla private at $420.00 funding secured between sen kessler shares sewing, but when the buyout failed to materialize, the ship rise fell back to earth that resulted in a class action from investors who calculated their losses as high as $12000000000.00 were disappointed were examining options. yeah. yeah. the trial comes at a sensitive time for musk who's dominated headlines for his chaotic takeover of twitter. when we consume sharif al jazeera. earlier i spoke with technology
11:23 am
journalists, chris stuck a walker, who says masks k free approach to his tweets is clearly having ramifications. and i think largely because of the value involved in the potential deal, something like $72000000000.00 if it had gone through cuz it valued tesla share price at $420.00 a share for those who are a little bit knowledgeable about, you know, most that is a joke that he decided to make basically, on the proclivity that he has full cannabis of marijuana. but people took it seriously because what do you know most says on twitter does matter. it is important. and so people started to make purchases of shares or selling off shares for the reason that they thought this deal was going to go through it. the people who brought the class action lawsuit said that they had lost in total around about $12000000000.00 because the deal did not actually go through. but musk says, ultimately it doesn't matter what he tweets. it doesn't actually have
11:24 am
a ramification, the real world. i think probably they would disagree even if the court doesn't actually it was an assumption that he genuinely believed at the time he had be lining up investors who he believed were willing to come in to tesla and purchase the company on the basis of what he said he was managing to convince the court to do that, but it is notable. i think that they didn't necessarily disagree with the fact that actually is tweets. do have an impact on because we're seeing that now through the way in which he is changing how twitter operates through tweets rather than public pronouncements made in normal, traditional ways. it's very well. she kind of donald trump style way of communication, where he's actually making people hang on his every word that he posts, hey, billing shall anchors, capital. i protesting against the cost of the parade, marking independence day, $550000.00. the public funds is being used for the military event in colombo,
11:25 am
shall anchor is in the middle of its worst economic crisis in history with food fuel and medicine shortages. when al fernandez has more from the capital given inflation given the increasing cost given the way the repairs devalued up general ordinary shall luncheons are finding it difficult to make ends meet. and at a time like that, when you have a celebration that people have heard is costing are so many thousands of dollars. they are not happy. i mean, essentially there is a military period. it is the 75th anniversary of sherlock has independence. yes. a major milestone for a country or that got independence after years and years have been colonized and that happened in 1948. so obviously the government, the present run of vicar missing her is very keen to ensure that it celebrated or with the sort of desired a pomp and pageantry a. but what people say is, this is not a time for that to now. the president himself,
11:26 am
a few months ago did to go on record about or steady to measures about the need to 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 allowed 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. an arctic blast has hit the northeast in united states and canada with with feast winds, pushing temperatures down into the negative double digits. gabriel alexander braved the cold in boston. historic low temperatures as this arctic blast of cold air rolls through the northeast of the united states, particularly here in the new england region home to more than 14000000 people. here in the city of boston,
11:27 am
the temperatures have been dangerously cold all day. it's projected to reach around negative 20 degrees celsius overnight, in which case it would break a record for cold temperatures. there was last set a 142 years ago. but what is complicating matters is very strong winds as well. sometimes up to 80 kilometers per hour. there is pushing temperatures, even lower, and officials throughout the region. we're warning people to only go outside. it was absolutely necessary. but take a look at this. this is mount washington and observatory at the top of a mountain in the neighboring state of new hampshire. it got down to negative 40 degrees celsius, but the winds were coming in at 209 kilometers per hour. bringing the wind shield temperatures down to negative 78 degrees celsius. the lowest wind chill temperatures ever recorded anywhere in the united states. of course it is winter
11:28 am
here and people are used to cold temperatures, but not like this. this is not normal. this is one for the record books in some parts of the northeast of the united states where i'm at right now. it's colder here than it is in alaska, scandinavia, or even siberia. denmark leads the way as the least corrupt country in an annual report were laced by transparency international sch, but its found corruption in latin america is getting worse, as john homan affords the transparency, international corruption perceptions. index came out this week and its outlook for latin america is bleak. no countries significantly improved at school since 2070. the organization says an oval failure by leaders to act against corruption and strength and public institutions has left the door open for criminal networks to

bully and co, up to politicians, nicaragua, cuba, what the molar they will sank to new lows in guatemala case of the briefly showing the way forward with the united nations by 20 corruption commission that was dissolved in 2019 haiti's in trouble to with no electric government officials. and it's kept to largely overrun by gangs but the absolute bottom of the pile, according to transparency international, is venezuela. i asked the organizations direct to their mercedes, the freighters. why? again, even is in contrast to the rest of the countries. there is no space in which venezuelans can go to ask for justice or their rights. they call a patient of the institutions is startled by the group in power and assistance for justice under their job. on the contrary, they are guarantors of impunity. the most extreme case perhaps, but it's common to hear in latin america that corruption is
11:30 am
a cancer near impossible to root out in latin america. expectations are so low that people in some countries actually have a saying robert barrow. i see regarding politicians and it means well, he stills, but at least he does something. but he thought changed if electorates started expect thing even demanding that they politicians did things for them without stalings might things improve in this region. perhaps uruguay, also in the region, shows that they could it's rich ink of light for latin america. it has the same transparency score in the indexes, canada, when you're away, is one of our top for performance in several years. and it is not a coincidence that the countries a strong democracy in some more a united society and institutions work well. what does that mean? it means that checks on balance, east operate. well in means that they have a do these.
