hello, i'm adrian again. this is but he is out my from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. more than 200 prisoners of war are released as part of an exchange between russia and ukraine. the mystery of the balloon flying over the us. china is calling for calm off to what it calls on air ship accidentally entered the u. s. s. space o process made thousands of south to the me is super displaced by a years long conflict. and i'm gabriel's on to in boston, massachusetts. we're an arctic blast of cold air is rolling through the northeast of america, causing record low temperatures. that story coming up. i'm jeff nash with sports arsenault, least in the premier league for just the 2nd time this season. the latest basin, the bi struggling edison. you when that 1st game i'm the manager shown dice is not
6:02 pm
the just after 1500 hours gmc, we stop this. these are with a prisoner exchange between the ukraine and russia. moscow says that 63 of its service met have been released by keith. and the ukranian government says that 116 of its soldiers have been allowed to return home. according to moscow, among the russians freed of those who work in a so called sensitive category, the united arab emirates was involved in the nations same bus robbie as the details from ukraine's capital keys. what we're hearing is 116 prisoners of war have been released by the russians and are back on ukrainian soil presidents office and the coordination, the humanitarian coordination office that works on these prisoner swamps. calling this cause for celebration. but they do say, despite the fact that including today, 37 swaps prisoners swaps have taken place since the beginning of this conflict.
6:03 pm
there remain thousands of russia of ukrainian soldiers in russian custody. and there remain hundreds of civilians as well who are yet to be returned back to ukrainian territory so far in terms of the civilians. only about a 100 have come home in these prisoners swaps. and in terms of soldiers about just a little over 1640 prisoners soldiers have returned home to ukraine. winter in negotiations with russia, but what the ukrainians are saying despite the fact that this is a cause for celebration, there is still a long way to go to bring all of the other ukranian citizens in russian custody home. let's get reaction from russia out here is a, some, a bon jovi it is in moscow. the russian ministry of defense says that these people are now being treated for psychological and medical help. they're able to contact
6:04 pm
their relatives and it was made possible to get them released to you after meant. remember that they don't use the word swap with the help of mediation from the united arab emirates. we've seen in the last few months that these releases have become routine where moscow and ukraine exchange prisoners. obviously we've heard from key of that there been receiving more prisoners than moscow. but this has been a case that we've seen a number of times in january. there was a release in december, there were a couple of releases and then going back to september where the releases were facilitate facilitated by turkey and saudi arabia. this time around. it's been facilitated by the united arab emirates, the ministry of defense, specifically a thanks them. and you have to remember that this is a country which has so far, not given into any of the sanctions that the west wants to imposed on moscow. we know that the chief mom had been zaid visited her vladimir putin and
6:05 pm
also discussed the issue of ukraine heroes, secretary of state and zip lincoln, has condemned china for sending what the pentagon calls a surveillance balloon over american soil. beijing, as urging com as the john croft floats over the united states. china says it's the civilian weather balloon that was blown off course by accident. let's go live out of washington. i'm 0. my camera is there for us. mike. where is this balloon now? well, it's understood that the balloon is over north carolina. it's been heading east since the pentagon 1st announced its existence back on thursday where it was seen over montana originally. but since then it's been moving east, the pentagon, refusing to say exactly where the balloon is. so we're relying on i sightings of the of the vehicle as well as the prevailing winds. the craft has limited steerage capability. so it's very largely at the mercy of winds. and it is,
6:06 pm
it does appear to be heading eastwards. it's moving over north carolina. and it's expected if the prevailing winds continue to be crossing the mainland and going up to see perhaps by the end of saturday us china relations. we're already at a pretty low ed. this doesn't haven't done anything to help. no, it's completely frayed relations that were already tenuous, particularly after the visit by the then speak of the house, nancy pelosi to taiwan last year, which highly infuriated the chinese who protested most strongly. however, this latest incident makes, sees relations even more fraud that visit by the secretary of state to china was regarded as really important in terms of beginning to restore some semblance of normality to the relations between the us and china. but this latest incident
6:07 pm
certainly going to impact very heavily on that. the pentagon says that a 2nd balloon has been cited this one over costa rica, once again refusing to give its exact position. china continues to maintain that it is a scientific study vehicle that it doesn't have any real threat. the bite in administration has been discussing what to do. it's believe that they military advise the president not to shoot the balloon down because of the potential risk to civilians on the ground. so that debate is ongoing, and certainly there's been domestic political fall out as well, with republicans criticizing the biden administration. but what they say is uncertainty and a weak reaction to this latest crisis out of here was my reporting live from washington. mike, many thanks. indeed, this suspected surveillance balloon is about the size of 3 buses. now it usually
6:08 pm
operates at an altitude of anywhere from 24000 meters to 37000 meters. that's much higher than commercial planes, or fighter jets the balloon filled with helium, a solar panel is attached to the base of it, which has been visible in the recent sightings. it also carries equipment that include cameras, radar, and census earlier. my colleague laura kyle spoke to alexi, what i vs, who's a professor of national security and strategic studies at cook university. he believes the balloon is more than just a civilian ship. it seems like it may be indeed the reconnaissance fly and, and the so called material logical balloon has been used to undertake a deep surveillance missions, especially always sensitive areas of the united states, which a particular linked to and the u. s. strategic new nuclear detour. and capability, we need to remember that a seamless, i mean,
6:09 pm
sions. what carried on by the united states and other countries during the cold war . so using balloons for hail did use espionage or organizations. me issues isn't, is not something is not something new. and beyond the fact that the chinese did not a learned and the united states authority is that there was so called me there would you go. balloon was coming into the aerospace inadvertently also suggest that there were bria trying to keep this mission there. as a glenda stan as possible, i and china argues that and perhaps fanny, that it's very difficult to keep such a big visible object can death dine, and why would it use such old fashion technology to spy look, i mean, it may, it may sound like an old fashioned technology, but at the end of the day, what they would deliver is you have the results and, and certainly compared to, for example, satellites, balloons can hallway particular areas for much longer. and as a result,
6:10 pm
they can collect data. busy visuals, perhaps even through some recordings and been better than, than the satellite. so we should not on the estimates there, the capacities all this low cost of the platforms. and again, this is, this is another factor that makes balloons and quite an attractive form of espionage. because the cost of assembling the balloon and ran the mission with the balloon is incomparably law. one of a launch in a spy satellite and keep anything in the orbit. and then again, given the fact as your report suggested earlier, the balloon flies. how did your missions between 20 to 30 kilometers? it's not really easy to neutralize this target because not every country will have the sufficient air and defense capability to shut it down without causing any substantial damage or without the arrow. busy or a, with significant, like to, to achieve in it where eddie image is all information that it might have already
6:11 pm
gathered. has that already been sent to pay ging look, i mean it's, it's difficult to say and what sort of equip on this, on more and by it's reasonable to assume that this balloon is indeed an, has a spy mission ban and it would feed information back for example why a satellite networks try to be june. so we should really not be assuming that this is really in the bank in fifty's technology. well, balloons were equipped with cameras and then they would just say a waste all the films and then you can only recover films once the balloon will, would touch the surface. so i think if, if, if it was collect in information and if it was a gathering intelligence, i'm pretty sure this intelligence would have been found back to the source in real time. the happy reports of a 2nd balloon not confirmed, but over latin america. you think the incredible well it's, it's
6:12 pm
a bit difficult to say it may well be, you know, a series of missions. it may well be one of the balloons. indeed, playing the role of mentoring logical bolona. and we're as a decoy to kind of, you know, and i think a, the, the, the official a line that b g and has been using it may well be and not the reconnaissance flights and the a with, with the mission to, to effectively distract and, and and create some sort of the way the point mission allow for the, for the primary mission to achieve success. so which we shouldn't be rolling out any possibilities. but i cannot possibly imagine that the chinese, all of a sudden interest in, in the wiring, whether details or with north and south america. this particular family, it here with the nissan from altus 0 still come on the program. i'm harden with casa in south, the god pope frances and other religious leaders are in the country, calling for peace and reconciliation. find out why thousands of people displayed by
6:13 pm
conflicts, say they don't feel safe. returning home, shoreline cut marks independence day with a parade, but many people say the best little to celebration. and the seattle sound, those get ready to make their 1st appearance at the club world. copied morocco for that. a little later it's ah, the head of the roman catholic churches on historic visit to south sir dong alongside the leaders of the anglican church of the church of scotland. pope frances is meeting people displaced by a years long civil war. earlier on saturday, he met bishops, priests and other christian leaders, as part of what is called a pilgrimage of peace of 0. how tarza has more from the capital, juba jacob now remembers, coming to seek refuge in this camp for the internally displaced people in cuba.
6:14 pm
it's next to the united nations base, so he feel safe here. he was a schoolboy back in 2013. soon after war broke out. he's not 25 years old with children of his own. he hasn't been able to go back home because of violence in pots of thought, sit on her to as, as i d p z o a lot in a lot of things is ritual food. we stayed without food for 5 months or the decisions that last yesterday to days work. and there's also bad news about it that the food is going to last only for 6 months. then of the 6 months there was no food. according to the united nations, there are more than 2000000 internally displaced people in south sedan. and another 2300000 have played the country as refugees. famine was briefly declared in some regions in 2017. more than 2 thirds of the population now need humanitarian aid because of conflict and natural disasters. with 2018 pace deal stopped the worst of
6:15 pm
the fighting, but parts of the agreement, including the deployment of a re, unified, national army have not been implemented. and that's why some people say they don't feel safe. returning home be the head of the catholic church, po, process along with leaders of the anglican and scottish presbyterian churches have voice concerns about the government slow progress in implementing the 2018 p steel . they've been delays and holding elections and the ports of violence in some areas civil society groups that a lack of political will and personal differences between politicians, insults it on is the problem. so i'm kinda able to say and math is enough to all possible problems and we confuse our personal differences to subject country to suffer in the way we're suffering mouth discount yolk we're calling to leave. what we can do does come from violence to p. so the leaders need to forget their personal problems. the church has a lot of influence insulted on, which is a predominantly christian country. many here hope this historic visit puts pressure
6:16 pm
on politicians to do better and work towards peace and reconciliation. andrew john just now live from juba out of the probes from basing with displaced people this or what shipping say. papa frances is inside the hallway behind me and he's been meeting people displaced by the conflict . and let me telling him about their experiences. some of them say they've been displaced since 2013 when war broke out. and the ones here in dubai are staying near the un base, the u. n. compound. they went back in 2013 because they felt they'll be safely near un soldiers. and they're telling the pope that they thought that they only leave every 4 months, but it's been years and years because they just don't feel safe going home. they say that they want him to urge politicians here to ask the government to deploy the 3 unified army as soon as possible. so that can be protected if and when they return home. and they also say they want the pope to urge politicians to get people here to do more, to walk, to walk, to work,
6:17 pm
to work towards implementing peace in the country. the pope came out and he said to the people, they must stay strong. he knows it's hard, he knows the conflict effects of people on the ground, ordinary people in the band. he says he's going to pray for them and he's going to ers politicians to do more towards peace and reconciliation. how have these religiously that's been received? are due to people believe that they can actually improve their situation whether the reception has been very, very good. i mean, when they arrive thousands of people lined the streets, willing and eager to greet all of these religious leaders. this is the predominantly christian country and the church have a lot of respect in the past. the church has played a huge role in resolving conflicts between different ethnic groups and different political parties. so people do think that having the po pierre and these other leaders is a good sigh and they say that they hope that the politicians will respect these
6:18 pm
religious leaders will listen to them. and the not praise will be put on the president and other politician to try and resolve the issues here in this country. of course, the wait and see scenario. people have heard these talks a piece before over and over again. it just helped with high profile visit is going to make a difference. her matessa that live in south sedans, capital tuba, however many thanks or before his visit to south sudan, poke francis, spend 3 days in the democratic republic of congo. easter african leaders are meeting in burundi on saturday to discuss an escalation of fighting between the congolese army and m 23 fighters over the past week. at least 450000 people have been displaced by months of violence. their nocka web has more from bilingual, a refugee camp, just outside the eastern congolese city of goma. thousands of people have arrived in this camp in the last few days. many of them have fled from villages the and 20 three's advancing towards or has taken. others have been on the run for 6 weeks or
6:19 pm
more, having already been displaced once they keep moving each time until he 3 gets close to them. and $23.00 is widely understood to be backed by neighboring rwanda. rwanda denies it. meanwhile, congos army is widely reported to have been fighting along signed armed groups. congos army denies that to the conditions here. a bad people have made shelters from whatever they can, whatever they could carry or things they found. here, rocks, sticks and grass of people here say that they're hungry, that there isn't food to eat, and they're still waiting to get humanitarian assistance. in through anchors capital people have been protesting against the cost of a parade marking independence day. $550000.00 of public funds being used for the military event in colombo, she'll anchor is in the midst of the worst economic crisis in its history, with food fuel and medicine shortages out as heroes. now flanders is there. the
6:20 pm
irony of a country celebrating the 75th anniversary of its independence. but very much on the siege. like you can see the people behind me essentially the ordinary. she luncheons locked out. we've had a number of senior police officers telling people they can't go clearing them or not. this is one of the sort of entrance points to the parade location. obviously, a number of police, a special task force personnel, as well as the military in other areas. now there are obviously water cannons at the ready or with the complementary water buses. and these are in the event that the protest does that have made their voices heard. and their displeasure heard about what the government is doing, in case they decide to descend. the president ronald vicar missing her, says that the celebration is necessary to assure that real anchor is able to celebrate independence. but he himself has admitted that the countries bankrupt,
6:21 pm
trying desperately to secure an a bailout package from the international monetary fund. and the after parade essentially, is what lots of ordinary people who had tried to go to watch the proceedings are confined to seeing. because lot of them found that they were locked out. and this is some of the reasons that people in this country at a time of its worst economic crisis, are taking issue with the military parade. they're questioning as to whether this kind of expense is needed. a number of these people, just a few who remain here who haven't been sent off. ah, that is the question that they have posed. they tell us that, i mean independence is a celebration of freedom and the reaction that they have had is far from it. protests in pakistan, people in the golden city of per shower. i've been calling on authorities to take action to prevent attacks by armed groups. more than 100 people were killed in the
6:22 pm
city when a suicide bomber targeted a mosque on monday. i'll just here, as i said, bag is following developer. saint michel, the police say the investigation is still ongoing. the flu going through cctv and examining dna as well. as i do locate phone calls, but they have been carrying bag operations an understanding to encounter this morning with what he say to commander of the book, study bon, were killed, very arrested. several people them also confiscated the cache of weapons. i munitions communications equipment as well as explosives, and this is the chief of the police in that district had to take the bus on the yankee, the targets of this terror group which we apprehended in swampy district. what policeman, k security installations and some high profile people in this region. we are determined to fight these elements started, but now they say they are determined. it will be very personal for the police, have been any 100 people kill innocent. what was supposed to be at the fuel, combine many of them with police officers,
6:23 pm
but the country does face the challenge is economically, this is a topic 5, but what's done in its history and the police here applying got for resources. in many cases, the militant have better to put me in terms of them images with the red ribbon better than the police have when i say this isn't like when they go, they are determined to take it with them. pakistan has burned access to wikipedia for failing to remove what it calls sacrilegious content. the pakistan telecommunications authority says the popular online encyclopaedia fail to comply with a 48 hour deadline to remove and block the content. he was us across pakistan now unable to view the website, wikipedia says the moved and i as the 5th most popular station access to free knowledge and speak to a summer hill, gee, who's a columnist and digital rights activist. he joins us now live from islam about good
6:24 pm
have you with us. what do you make of this battle? what constitutes sacrilege is content in the eyes of the telecoms authorities there in pakistan? i think it's quite vague and to be honest, there's no transparency around. what exactly the content is because of which they're requesting, you know, take down an entire blockage of the entire website. there's 6600000 articles and we can pdf in the english language. but because it's one or 2, it's completely disproportionate to block access to it and the impact of that is really wide ranging. so i think there needs to be more transparency, but also the realization that this is a crowd funded, sorry, a crowd sourced platform. so anyone can edit articles that so maybe the regulator themselves can edit the article that they have a problem with, instead of blocking the entire platform. to what extent is this a symptom of a wider problem in pakistan, the control of information the country already has some pretty draconian social
6:25 pm
media rules, doesn't it? yes, but luckily they're under review on the direction of the high court. and so there's actually a parliamentary review going gone off the social media. but what suspect is that while they're being reviewed, the last version of them is being implemented by the regulator extremely draconian manner. but what posture is, is that they expect to be taken seriously after the blog, something as basic as wikipedia in a country. so i think it just shows the over stretch of power of censorship, that the regulatory authority has been given. and many digital rights and human rights groups and bargain on we've been pushing for, for regulations related to social media that comply with docusign international law commitments focused on how to universal periodic review and the un human rights council. just last month where the government committed to review these rules in
6:26 pm
line with international standards. but the blocking of wikipedia speaks other like you talk about international standards, wherever. what harm is this really doing to pakistan's international reputation? i think it's a preposterous man because it's a basic source of knowledge and information that i could damian education students . you name it any information and it's available on wikipedia and it's updated in real time. but there's also this economic impact buckets on starved of foreign reserves and for an investment, an added time when we need more for an investment in our sector and industry is really growing and booming when sub censorship and banks come and place it impacts investor confidence and it impacts the ability of focused on needs to do business and that sector when tomorrow you don't know what other essential platform or website will be block. i think it really raises economic questions as well. all the other other sites in pakistan, but the blocks oh, well, right now there's,
6:27 pm
yeah, a lot of news websites, international news website, especially though it's from india some from the united states. we also have, you know, a random block i just picked on to talk was banned around 4 or 5 times, but now it's unblocked. and we had a 3 year ban on youtube also because of quote unquote fragment, just contact. but you know, i guess i'm the senator put in very well around 10 years ago when he said that manning the entire platform because of one article or item is like burning a library dog because you don't like one or 2 books inside. and that's exactly what the government seems to be doing. really good to you so many thanks for being with us since i'm a huge you that and as long. thank you. so to come here on these are, is really forces raid a refugee camp the occupied west bank injuring at least 13 palestinians. what a new report says about corruption across latin america. we'll have the details and
6:28 pm
for the ones we'll champion expects of tough title challenge this season. we'll hear from him a little later this morning jim. ah, it's been hot recently in central chile combined with some very drawing winds and the result has not been a good with all those not much in the sky to see the point of view of range as you'd like. there has been outbreaks of fights. well, wildfires ran the regions that surround concepcion, which is south of the capital. those fires are still burning, and i don't think the weather is going to change to help them at all. because the still quite strong wind from the south and from the north. it comes in the 2 tents combining and continue that rather dry and unpleasant condition. now, elsewhere in south america, wells looking fine. now, sure, in montevideo,
6:29 pm
subtly wind with rain chows is going to be, i think, a sparky night. you look on the sky lightning. otherwise the rain shout off at the heaviest in places like bolivia, western paths of the amazon, and may be western columbia. in the caribbean, the breeze is steady, the showers are frequent but light. now north america's or all the different story altogether at least the united states of america in the northeast corner throughout saturday, dangerous winches, still the warning now does blow through. the sun will come, are the worst, is going to be sat during sat they have to say with boston particular after recovering from minus twenty's overnight, only minus night at best. ah, ah, a
6:30 pm
with a whole in depth analysis of the days headlines from around the world. if i right extreme is there is real and need to be tackled as soon as possible informed opinions. why is this the opposition concerned about this? much more with keith. this is appointment frank assessments. you know, that was a joke about the interim government. it's not inter, i mean, no, does it got inside story on al jazeera lou?
6:31 pm
ah hello again, adrian for the get here in doha with the news, al from al jazeera the headlines, the russian defense ministry says that 63 of its service might have been released by ukraine. keith says that 116 ukrainian support allowed to return home under a deal which was mediated by the united arab emirates. pope frances is in juba, beating people, displaced by the civil war in south saddam. the head of the roman catholic church is on a historic 3 day visit. long said the leaders of the anglican church and the church of scotland. and here a secretary of state antony blanket has condemned china for sending what the pentagon calls a surveillance balloon over american soil. beijing, his urging calm. as the giant flew floats over the united states. under tegan is a city a fellow at the tie. he institute, he doubles doubts rather the u. s. accusations that the balloon is for spying. you
6:32 pm
have a balloon with the size of 3 buses that is apparently floating over the united states . the national weather organization of the united states is confirmed that it's consistent with being blown i off course over the pacific, down through canada and into the us. the idea that this is a quote spy balloon. the whole point about spying is to gain information by subterfuge. by not being detected, having a, you know, something that big, that is, ah, you obviously can be seen by the naked eye would hardly qualify as a huge. there was an interesting situation with blankets visit to beijing. he said he was going on the 4th and 5th, but as of the 3rd, after talking to many diplomatic sources, they confirmed that there had been no official invitation meeting without which he
6:33 pm
could not go to beijing. obviously, beijing was not amused by all of the items and things that the u. s. was doing in terms of, you know, 5 major chinese tech corporations being basically said, you can't get technology, you can't have any kind of investment. i'm talking about taiwan going to japan and south korea and trying to make them focus on china. so yeah, i think at this point it's, it's quite i, i think lincoln was trying to save face for the fact that he had announced a visit that he wasn't welcome. an arctic blast has hit parts of the united states and canada with fears. when this pushing temperatures down into the negative double digits, the pin warnings issued in new york and new england where the windshield reached get this minus 75 degrees celsius. so the summit about washington schools are closed in some areas. you the fears of hypothermia and frost by it. i'll just here as gabriel elizondo is out in it. in boston. it's the coldest morning
6:34 pm
in this city since 1957. and let me tell you, boston is used to cold winters, that's nothing new to them, but this is certainly not normal. ah, given at this, we haven't seen these kind of temperatures here for so long right now in boston, it's negative 23 degrees celsius. but with the windshield factor, it's negative. 33 i celsius here gives you an idea of how cold these temperatures are. and it's not only here, but it see entire new england region of the northeast were about 14000000 people live in some parts of a new england in the neighboring states. we've seen temperatures get down to as low as negative, 50 ah celsius. but what's the real complicating factor here is the wind. we've gotten wind gusts that have gone up to about 40 to 50 kilometers per hour,
6:35 pm
and that's really causing a lot of these dangerous temperatures. this arctic blast is just come through here friday and is now a, it's getting the worst of it right now and mount washington in neighboring new hampshire. it saw a negative $75.00 degrees celsius. let me say that again, negative 75 degrees celsius and mount washington observatory in neighboring new hampshire. that's the coldest temperatures ever recorded anywhere in the united states. a state of emergency has been to crowd across several regions in chile, as wildfires burned through large parts of the country, hundreds of homes have been famished. firefighters are struggling to contain the fires with high winds at a heat wave worsening the problem. at least 13 people are reported to have died. 13 palestinians have been wounded after an israeli raid on a town and they occupied west bank. it's the latest incident in an escalation of tension in which $36.00 palestinians and 6,
6:36 pm
his release have been killed since the start of the year. but at smith's reports from ramallah for more than a week israeli fault is have kept jericho locked down and it's residence at bay as they search for suspects in a drive by shooting on saturday morning, the israeli military thought located who they were looking for and rated a refugee camp on jericho's outskirts, a house was hit with an anti tank missile, and those inside surrendered. according to the military, raf and murmur houses were targeted as if the residents were criminals. while they were asleep in their houses, civilians you have nothing to do with the incident on mama. no one has been allowed to move freely out of this town of 37000 people in the occupied west bank. after shots were fired near an illegal israeli settlement in the area, no one was injured in that incident. it's unusual for so many people to be locked
6:37 pm
down for this long, but then these are exceptional times in the occupied west bank. so far, 36 palestinians have been killed the share in confrontations with these railey military and their a far i. ministers in the israeli cabinet, committed to expanding settlements and making life much tougher for palestinians than he already. it's bernard smith, al jazeera ramallah, a cindy is living in the border areas of the gaza strip, say the increasingly vulnerable to his really attacks. human all side has been to meet several families whose homes have been damaged. it is really strikes met him and sweetie, and 9 members of her family used to live here before israel marseilles turned their home terrible during fighting with a slimy jihad group. in august 2022. they lost every thing among thought of because we're on the buddha, all the shells and missiles intercepted by the eye and don't fall on us. so when
6:38 pm
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 for the children, but he found our home completely destroyed. and he was in the 1st time in 2014. as were you. these home was partially damaged in an israeli airstrike, and repaired by the un relief and works agency her policy, refugees, these days, media, her children, and grandchildren live together in a rented apartment, which is all they can afford. most buildings here have been rebuilt since they have been damaged in previous conflicts. and those living in this neighborhood fear for their lives. because they're forced to flee their homes every time violence, escalades, entire neighborhoods on causes north in eastern borders are constantly under attack . family say they are hit by shells from eas, railey tanks,
6:39 pm
