it's the promise of clean energy and illusion. the dark side of green energy on al jazeera. ah, knowledge is here. with every oh, lou. ah, hello there, i'm the clock. this is in these are life and are coming up in the next 60 minutes. mass barrels in syria and turkey as the death toll for monday's powerful

earthquakes approaches. $20000.00 regular aid supplies. finally, crossing to syria's rebel held errors, but the un says it needs a lot more to deal with a disaster. damage dimes, in syria. add to the humanitarian designs to pushing thousands of displays, people into the unknown. hundreds, flea in democratic republic of congo as m. 23 rebels close in on an eastern town and the provincial capital of goma. and i'm far as small. have all the latest on a new attempt to create a european football is super league. that proposal includes plans for a multi division competition with up to 80. ah. so the death toll from monday's powerful earthquakes and turkey in syria is approaching 20 thousands mass barrels was still taking place where the number of

dead expected to rise steeply. as more bodies pulled from the rubble while they were home at a gastric, then the gravity of the event is deplorable. doomsday itself, there are thousands of injured. and did you see these grays that have being nearly opened? we have already started to bury people here. believe me, there is no family left without pain. most people don't even know what to do. we don't know what will happen and rescues like this one while they're getting fewer in turkey. so far more than 16000 people have diver many remain unaccounted for. there is some optimism in serious rebel held there is in the north regular aide supplies for the united nations. have started moving through the bow. how a crossing at for the 1st time. that is, since the quake struck the you and says it needs more resources to deal with the disaster that started coverage with wrestle soda, who's in a carman marsh at the epicenter of the disaster irresolute. it really is

a truly terrible situation. the hunt for survivors still goes on, but time now is really running out absolutely. time is running out. so it's the 4th day of the earthquake, who has been on nearly 9th, 2 days and steel rescue air force are underway, but the scale of the devastation here, the destruction here is so immense that it's almost impossible to make it within just 4 days. probably it will take days, weeks, and even months to find all the victims here now am in front of a collapsed building block. indeed. so it is just one of the hundreds in this city . so nearly a 1000 houses, buildings how collapsed here, and hundreds of people just died and still hundreds are missing. and as the

time is running out, the fear is that this data is going to rise higher and higher here. so just behind me, you can see that the rescue force are still continued to have lived in missionaries or to work in 2 days and nice rescue team or them relentlessly putting data forth, trying to reach some people and hoping that they are still alive. but they are joined by the families as well because families here, although so waiting anxiously. so biz blog has been a graveyard through the last 24 hours. i have seen dozens of bodies buddies after bodies had been pulled out from under the rubble. but unfortunately, none of them was alive and it's not only the rubble here, a fire or sleeves continued steel starting from the beginning of the storm. the 1st moments of the earthquake till now and last night, for bodies were taken from that part of this column building, and all of them were completely burnt. and a just behind that there is

a hotel that is also leveled on tens of people were there. when the hotel collapse and just in the morning, an italian citizen somehow contacted his wife. and based on that the rescue to step off off their a force and their rescued dogs got the smell. and the officials are saying that there might be 10 people in the basement of the hotel and hopefully still alive. now the rescue team are digging the holes, trying to reach them below in the basement, and hopefully to pull them out alive. but as i said, the families are also here joining either the rescue team at the day or a force or just anxiously waiting for their loved ones. just in the morning when i came here and there was an elderly woman, her name was zeta and she was telling me just police report on this because my beloved ones are burning on that. this robles, make my voice heard, and through my whole report and they, i try to make her voice heard. and,

but when did that the went to the did, the sun was setting here today. unfortunately, another dead body has been taken out from under the rubble and it was her son. he was not alive, so her screen was shattered in the air. it's quite heartbreaking. this is just the story off. many people, hundreds of people in this city. another syrian family also has 6 relatives. under that robles, they fled to war in 2014 in syria, and they came to the city of carmen marsh to make a new safer life. here, however, the earthquake cocked them here and disaster, often disaster for them. i wrestle with all this devastation, all these collapse homes and houses and properties where as of i was staying where they sleeping at night and what food one of the eating. well, the dish during the night times, particularly the weather is, is freezing,

extremely cold here. so sub 0, temperatures and majority of the people here are not going back to their houses because the aftershocks still continue. and many of the houses that are or the homes buildings that are still standing there heavily damaged or cracked. and so they're afraid that in any other of the short days or so could collapse. so that's why they're mostly living in the streets, setting up the fires and trying to stay warm there. the others are for way that the food and it does it because they're dead, the warm clothes here. many of them are sleeping in their cars. and just to their was talking to another old woman and she said, god, shale a shall save us. now we are refugees. so you can see that the life and death is quite intertwined. here to day when people were served in a secure server for the nest, the queer here that bodies were keep arriving. and you can see that life and death is just going to parallel in the city. and also the authorities here. they have set

up a tant city. now it is the house for nearly 20000 people and how being they're talking to the people. so just one of them, a 24 years old woman with her church 3 children. she told me that after the earthquake, she had to survive, which were 3 children, the sub 0 course temperatures 2 days before been moved to that and now she is there . and the other 3000 people as well. they're being provided one close foods and so on. however, the pants there are not for the winter condition, so they are quite teen. and the cold weather is the main problem there. do particularly for children during the night time. and also i have talked to one of the nurse there, she said the many people still needs how and if the how the air force or not it, not hoard beneath it properly. she was talking about the, the poorly organized coordination here. and she said that still be how they're suffering from the lack of some essentials like medicines. and she even told me

that she and her friends are i are getting the medicines from the collapse pharmacies to how people there. so as i said, the city, this is just one of the scenes that you can see behind me, it is diverse stated, but there are tons of different places that are reflecting the same reality. the scale of they were stationed, so kale of destruction is quite immense. here and that led them rescue teams are trying to make it in the time oliver, almost nearly after 90 hours, their hopes families who are fading or so. thanks for that to wrestle, said other reporting. very difficult, very tragic situation. now let's hear from bernard smith, who's in iskander and on the turkeys mediterranean coast. so in a scanner city of a quarter of a 1000000 people, we want to show you how, where i'm standing looked before to how it looks. now it took this off for street

view that shows you the normal life just feel a few days ago taken by the girl. girl st. maps before the earthquake stroke and how it looks now i am standing on the remains of those buildings that you see in the picture. they have earlier on today managed to pull her 3 people alive out of the building behind me. that is why there is they are still clinging on to hope every now and then work stalks around me here. a whistle is blown, the call goes out for absolute silence. because people think they may have heard somebody deep under ground in the buildings of a lot of nothing while we've been here unfortunately. but they are still clinging to that hope, the problem is they've been so much destruction and so much stress on the facilities, the turkish government can provide that they can get to every building quickly and we walk past areas where fillings are just completely pancakes. and if there's any chance of finding people underneath, it's just taking

a long time to get to them. no. okay, let's go to. natasha can name who's at a relief collision center that's in a stumble. so natasha. tell us what's happening. well, how's everything been organized for distribution? oh, i was in the left without even understand why awfully my to hand over the place that this really center is not letting up that truck is taking off. people are applauding it is full of goods headed to the 10 southern cities that have been declared disaster areas. 142 of those types of trucks. i've already been sent to the south with desperately needed aid. we are here with the city of ass down is down both social services department head, any hello again. hi. how are you? how do you plan on keeping this incredible momentum going?

there is no either way because we are now embarrass debris. we are embarrassed to eat, really embarrass the, you know, a sleep because people in hawkeye over there. they're not sleeping. they're not eating, they're starving over there. so it's very bad. thank you so much. i know you're, you've been working. it's a very impressive effort here. what we're seeing on the local level here and is dumble is one thing. we've also been seeing a global outpouring of assistive 95 countries have offered assistance there. more than 6400 people representing 56 countries at work in the disaster areas, helping out as best they can with more teams arriving daily president for to want visited to more of those devastated cities as part of a 3 day track through the earthquake zone he said that homes will be rebuilt within a year. people will be given

a $530.00 payment. he says you will not be left in the streets. you will be taken care of. he also instituted along with a 3 month date of emergency in the downtown area. he says that it's necessary. he alluded to moody and grocery stores. he said that some people are using the disaster for political days. he said anyone engaging in corruption will be punished . it's very important, we've been talking so much about turkey, us to mentioned some good news that occurred in syria. we're more than 3100 people have died and of course the death toll continues to rise. the 1st humanitarian aid earthquake 8 went through cross the border from turkey into syria. today, the un, special on voice to syria has stressed that politics cannot be a hindrance, but the syrians need quote, life saving aid,

and they need absolutely more of everything, even before the 1st place. the un had said that the international assistance for syrian just wasn't there to meet their basic needs. and one final piece of good news to share was an 8000 church has been rescued since these earthquakes this evening. a short time ago in the city of the lot. a girl, a boy and a young man were rescued. they were in an elevator in that elevator lightly acted as a kind of see the lights are in natasha. thanks. that's an interesting name there, that rescue center in austin. assemble in turkey, turkey some good news. it's natasha's reporting on there. but have to say that the death toll from the monday's powerful earthquakes and turkey and syria has now gone past 20000 and more than 17000, have died in turkey alone. and now the total in both turkey and syria is more than $20000.00. well, in syria,

the as quick as cause water levels in rivers and dams to rise. several houses have been washed away. answers correspondent shout caliph visited some of the affected areas in italy, province had he, i could look not any thought it was so that you lay her. this is the closest point we could reach me at the east and down the collapse because of the our silly book on the flood of the river after the earthquake pushed water towards the eastern body of which collapsed quickly and the water flowed towards the village houses and you can see the scale of the disaster with this village where the earthquake can bring what of the river destroyed more than 20 houses are flooded, mailed and settled families in these houses left during the night. this village, like all other towns and villages, horses displays camp on the syrian turkish border. the display sleep in discount. i've also left 2 other count and higher areas are all over the history. people of this region has managed to use waters of the assay river or the benefit,

but this time the earthquake was more powerful than them and led water up the river to invade the house. us. so he will kind of al jazeera mean belt that the blue before it live. what as you mentioned earlier, that 1st you in a trucks have managed across from takia into northern syria. they're moving to rebel held areas of service. but uh huh. that's the only border crossing authorized by the united nations for delivery. at some charge organizations are using alternative routes. they could include bab elsa lama, job loss, and tell a b as in opposition held areas for you and has indicated it might be prepared to use other crossings and let speak now to joseph. sheila is an emergency coordinator for the international organization for migration joins us now from garcia's tap on the turkey syrian border. joseph, so you are deploying humanitarian assistance convoys into northwest and syria. and this is actually assistance that was going into the water region any way before the

earthquake. is that right? yes, indeed. indeed, this, this emergency is, we're already going to. so it said this is now assistance. it's urgently needed that was going in any way so. so presumably doesn't even touch the sides of what is required. sorry, say again. so presumably this is not enough assistance going into northwest syria. definitely with a huge catastrophe that was hit that hit, danny a that not none of the emergency. and none of the, you know, assistance is enough, especially with the level of damages and the suffering that people are witnessing. and i know so we are doubling our efforts and we're putting everything together to try and provide any immediate assistance to those people any over there. give us an idea if you would, of the scale of assistance that is required and what kind of things are needed

mainly on the, on to the emergency. the 1st assistance that we try to do is to provide people with the minimum items. and essentially, is that they need to survive, which are mainly mattresses, blankets, jacqueline, so they can make some, some small shelters, jenkins, and hygiene kids. so these are the main and the initiator emergency like saving assistant that we provide on an emergency. if the current convoys going through what would do to go in any way before the quake? when will aid convoys? in response to the earthquake itself, stop going through the convoy started today going going through about bubble, how up a borders into northwest city are mainly 6 trucks. today, across the board there's and we are planning to have additional multiple trucks to process orders as well. so and what do you know about the kinds of conditions that

people are having to put up with having to tolerates and the earthquake region definitely are that people are in dire needs because we'd like to mention as well that it's not only the earthquake that are to worth getting that to the area. in addition that the eddie gym was hit by a severe snowstorm which increased the level of, of complexity of intervening and the level of severity that if people are living in that, not to mention that this is already a conflict is on. and those people are usually, depending on how many that in assistance as well as tense and closed and so forth. presumably as a requirement for an equipment to help with the rescue effort definitely has so many organizations and rescuers that are already on site to how to put it there. that the removal and rescue of people. and this would be also backed up by our intervention. while providing all the necessity,

emergency last evening assistance from the us from today onwards. just to show we wish you well with your ongoing efforts there. thanks very much. and if you join is here and i'll jer, thank you. but most of the head of the news are including this is done, evasion for ukraine's president of the addresses, the new parliament during an unannounced visit to europe. and north korea shows off its military hardware and a massive parade marking a key anniversary. and there's just one country in the world without a football team, like the about the change that story coming up in school. ah . 2 other news and in a democratic republic of congo, m. $23.00 fighters at closing in on the eastern ton of saki just 25 kilometers to the provincial capital of goma. residents have already started fleeing the town.

the m $23.00 on group re emerged last year after a decade of activity. earlier my colleague rob matheson spoke to malcolm web about the developments in gama. thousands of people heading out to saw came from the surrounding villages, the 50 gomez in that direction. so k is down, they're going to stand aside. so we can take a look around, talk about 10 kilometers down the road. people from they've come from the sound say that they can hear heavy fighting from within the town seems the m 23. fighting with the government forces on the edge of the town right now. that's what caused some fear and panic among the population. people to pick up whatever possessions they can, and they're heading towards the city of go by livestock mattresses and things that are valuable or important things that will help people to divide wherever they end up and ready. half a 1000000 people have been displaced by this conflict,

and 23 resumed his rebellion just over a year ago and 23 widely understood to be backed by neighboring. rwanda is vices use rwandan equipment. rwandan soldiers have been photographed with them since the 3 congress. the government says they are in fact just fighting for one dissolve, you know, they ruined the denies, backing them malcolm, it must be a very frightening time for the people they are. because if i understand correctly, if they, if the study is taken, it eventually almost cuts off goma. and that makes it very understandable why people are desperately trying to, to leave the city has got coma it at aisd, a good way to deserve some traffic in the road with the people playing at. i know that noise is there is interrupting us there, but yeah, go marizza will essentially be as surrounded and cut off i t c h

r k. denise is we're one at the north m $23.00. took those territories last year. this is the only road journey remaining road in government control that connects the city goma to the rest of the province. so essentially, we take soccer and takes his road, go, ma will be completely in circles. the cranes president has received a standing ovation at the european parliament, former zalinski, thank leaders for their support in ukraine's war with russia. after much get at a james base report now from brussels. on the 3rd stage of his brief surprise, european tour after trips to london and paris president zalinski flew with the french president, emanuel mackerel to brussels in the capital of european union. he was again repeating the same message. thanks for all your help. but ukraine still needs more slow graham, i told the pac session of the european parliament that ukraine's home in the future

hello there. wet and windy weather dominates the weather story across north africa . but before we get there, let's have a look at the middle east and levant, where that cold continues to grip areas worst affected by the earthquake to kia and syria. seen that bitter cold with exceptionally low temperatures at night, and that cold has spread its way further. so we seen temperatures that have come right down to the likes of doha, as well as to by kicked in by that shamal wind. it is feeling rather blustery, but that does ease. by the time we get into saturday, we will see some slight recovery here. now as we move to north africa, that's where we're seen really nasty weather across the mediterranean, affecting coastal areas of libya, as well as to news yet bringing that rain all the way through to algeria. we're also expecting to see some pretty wet weather affect parts of morocco. we've got warnings out, western sahara and mar martina as well. seeing that wet and wintry weather. it'll

also pull its way across into the canary islands. over the weekend bluster we winds continue across basis like nigeria, but it's a pretty dry story here for the south. we're seeing that wet weather. we've got warnings out for thunderstorms, affecting tanza near more thunderstorms to come as well for eastern areas of south africa where we have seen some flooding. but for cape town, quiet with sunshine. ah, ah. where clouds meet mountain west struggle gives birth to a true passion. where faith is more, just where humanity defies expectations where freedom is always worth fighting both and untold stories from across asia and the pacific. one o one east on al jazeera. when the news breaks,

when people need to be heard and the story told, it's incredible what more people, what injured or killed this is. mary is eve on the ukrainian capital with exclusive interviews. and in depth reports, i did almost more than $2000000000.00 that might have addressed. nigeria is going by deficient in widespread public. al jazeera has teens on the ground to learn to bring you more award winning documentaries and live lunch router feed, hulu. ah, telling you what she does her mind about top stories and the death toll from monday's powerful earthquakes has gone past 20400 mass burials being held in syria

and in turkey against fe to finding more spiders. under the rubble, there is some optimism in serious rebel held areas in the knolls. as the 1st you an aid shipment has now arrived, trucks entered the up, our holla crossing alone turkish border. m 23 fight is in democratic republic of congo. crazy in on the east and ton of saki, 25 kilometers from which the capital of goma residents have started clean the city . so let's return to our top store in the earthquakes and turkey in syria, un secretary general antonio terrace, says his relief chief will visit turkey, answer it this weekend. he'll assess what's needed there and see how the united nations can help for more in this let spring, kristen salumi from un headquarters in new york. so kristen tells us more well, the u. m is already responding to the disaster. it has

a disaster response and assessment teams on the ground, inter kia and syria. it's coordinating search and rescue efforts. and as you mentioned, aid is finally starting to get through to the hard to reach areas of northwest turkey, up north, west syria that are under opposition control. currently there is only one ah, border crossing that the united nations is allowed to use into north west syria. i and that has proven to be insufficient. even before the earthquake struck, there were attempts to get more aid to the 4 and a half 1000000 people who have become dependent on it in northwestern syria study you and now is working with the syrian government to try to increase a deliveries cross line from within syria within a damascus to get to these rebel held areas. and it's also we just learned working

with the security council to try to increase border crossing points as well to discuss other ways to get more aid into the region earlier. the secretary general called on all countries to put the people 1st. this is the moments of unity. it's at the moment to believe the size will to revise, but it is obvious that so we need massive supports. and so i would be, of course, very happy if the sooner the goals who could reach a consensus to allow for her mod crossing suit to be used as re, needs also to increase our capacity. people delivered on cross line operations into it, leap from the, the not past attempts to increase border crossings into syria have been opposed by russia and china syria so far has shown no indication of wanting or allowing

more aid routes into the country. but as i said earlier, the secretary general is having discussions with the un security council and given the needs are so great a hoping that there will be some change of views on that front or kristen, thanks for that update. i could sleep in there at un headquarters in new york state is home. we can bring in. jesse marks, his senior advocate for the middle east at refugees. international joins us now from washington. d. c. jesse most welcome to the program at so 1st off, it is just a terrible event that stretches across 2 countries. but in syria, of course, as we've been hearing, it is compounded by years of confident. thank you for having me next. we're already in the 4th day of the earth. quick response, and time is still running out. we're rushing for the last 24 hours to pull

survivors in the rubble. and dorothy, syria. the 1st responders of only accessed 5 percent of the damage areas. according to your numbers came out this morning. the un security council needs to take immediate action to demand a 30 day humanitarian pause and expand authorizations for you and agencies to provide a de northwest area. we're at the point where if sufficient earthquake aid fails to reach northwest syria, this will be a political failure, not a logistical one. over 4000000 people in the northwest, even prior to the earthquakes face to cuba, her abilities. and now this is just compounded and broken the already fragile situation. i was on the ground. it's been 4 days until this morning, you and 8. finally crossed the bubble. how a border crossing you an actors are only able to provide a cross one, which is partially damaged. border crossing to the you in is due to you in security council restrictions reports that turkey is also opened up to other borders as welcome news. but no agencies are likely able to use these until they receive you

an authorization from this. ok, so do you think that's like i said, it seems as if the you and 2nd general agrees with you antennae. gutierrez, g think is likely to happen. will the un security council be convened and will they enable these other crossings to be used? thanks to so the jew politics behind the cross border aid mechanism, go back, you know, nearly 67 years. it's going to going to be a hard move. it's going to require that russia and china stepped back from their previous maximus, maximum positions regarding cross border 8 into syria in the name of providing emergency relief to 4000000 people. and a big piece of this is ensuring that they grant unfettered humanitarian access for all parts of northwest syria through all borders into north assyria from turkey. but at the same time, all options must be on the table. this includes a bring aid from other parts of syria, including in the north east where an existing 8 infrastructure has been operating

alongside the northwest for several years. meanwhile, you know, other, other options looking at cross line, increasing cross cross line aid, but these themselves are also political and problematic. given previous, weldon reporting and research regarding the syrian governments obstruction of aid and ongoing concerns from the humanitarian community and syria. regarding the implications of this and laid on top of lack of provision of food, clothing, shelter, of course, it's also pulling weather conditions is bethany colt, it's freezing cold, which will have a devastating effect, particularly on children. certainly women and children, even prior before the earthquake made up the vast majority of people who faced the key vulnerabilities and protection is a north west, syria and with the closure of borders and the limited access. this only amplifies those needs and only amplifiers concerns over the long term implications. there are options beyond just moving. you know, we can look at potentially opening air corridors. you have us and nato air assets

and entered in in the region. there are ways to air lift goods into the area that are needed immediately to ensure that people have critical things such as shelters, non food items, as well as food, water and other medicine. yup. it's a deeply troubling situation that jessie mosley appreciates your perspective. thanks very much and if you speak to something they were having me, well, survivors are using social media to contact emergency cruise for help. it's hope that lives can be saved by those stuck hon posting messages. you may consume, sheriff as his report. i see you love it, other incredible rescues and desperate searches for loved ones across turkey and syria o at quake in turkey and help sylvia became trending hashtags on social media, offering the world a window into efforts to find survivors, but images from previous disasters and other countries also filtered down to

timelines that led the turkish government to impose temporary restrictions on twitter on wednesday. and kara said the platform was being used to spread dis information, some from fake accounts. but critics said the restrictions hampered efforts to get crucial aid to people. as later, after a wide spread public outcry, access was restored. if you want to help personally, go to the sources of turkish emergency services and see how you can contribute financially. 7 0, twitter has also been important for those coordinating rescue efforts from within the country and outside. and it's been used to offer help and mobilize aid. little alonzo was all the better. this video of a young man trapped under deeply in the turkish town of happy went wydell. his please for help. finally on said,

as well on the other side of the border and severe calls for support have been equally loud on social media platforms. voluntary organization, the white helmets or priests without the support of national governments. its members ask for medical aid through communication apps and social media. blue, a long organ with robin. no home on the road from his side, syrian will be william goodman. of the 1st room was done as well as the boarding rescue relief operations near weitel for those will survive earthquakes and need food and shall fall. and when they find it, why till facebook instagram kicked out can name it. social media is radically changing. rescue relief efforts,

and we call some sharif i j sierra. so that can president sir ramirez or is delivering his state of the nation address to parliament or is declared state of hostile, exhausting because of worsening. the worsening electricity crisis. a pressure has been mounting on refers to provide a solution as south africans for each of your daily outages. earlier members of the opposition party at north freedom fighters disrupted the session before being escorted out for security. for me to miller. as life rose from cape thomas for me to the opposition party effort to this every year would serve drake of this time to say well, they use this opportunity to raise a as many topical issues as they could including as you mentioned, their electricity, the crisis that south africa is facing at the moment and in fact, worsening as you also indicated to where they are rolling blackouts. and the

government has been criticized for not doing enough to manage the crisis. not doing enough to, to, to reverse that situation. and the president has said that they will implement a state of disaster which ultimately will allow the government to try and assist with procurement processes and as, and try and expedite or some of the processes that should deal with the that load shooting as it's known, crisis in south africa, those blackouts but the if there are disruptive proceedings for about 10 minutes before they were forced to leave the building, raising the electricity issue as well as a scandal that prison surround voice i was involved in the popular scandal with millions of dollars were stolen from his private residence and parliament later said that there is reason enough to launch an investigation into that. and so the, if it took issue with his presence in parliament, the body that said he should be investigated. but we do know that e f f does this every year or south africans have been watching the state of nation

address. they do see this every year and many would criticize it as a ploy as a political tactic to bring a engine to the party and to try and can, you know, maintain its relevance. so we don't know how effective this kind of ploy would be, but certainly it disruptive proceedings at least for a few minutes this evening and the distance continued without incident. frita. excellent, thanks so much for me to by reporting that from kate's on. thank you. and the 1st big us kasha of 2023 is opening in chicago, with the cost of living crisis, biting comic and say they're focused on bringing down costs. let's go to chicago. wage on 100 is joining us live john tennis mill. this is the 1st big post pandemic car show of this year. there have been 2 during the pandemic, much smaller here in chicago, and chicago is the oldest car show in the u. s. that started in 19

o one. and it's also the biggest in terms of size, although there's still a number of automakers, particularly in europe, that are not here this time around. so here to talk to me about how the pandemic has transformed the industry. and the show itself is aaron bragg. men of cars dot com. let me just ask you, for starters, what has the pandemic john to change the industry? well, we've seen a lot of problems with automakers being able to actually produce cars. supply chains have been really well disrupted all over the world. i'm right now trying to get things back up and running, trying to get cars back into showrooms trying to get factories up and running as really the biggest challenge. and what about electric cars? we hear so much about them, but we also understand that they make up just 5 percent of the cars sold new cars in the united states. they do currently, but i think this is going to be the year we start seeing these cars. really start to spread out because they're going to be entering into segments that people really buy like crossovers like pickup trucks, areas, but the american market in particular,

really does go full. and what are the cool new cars here this year? well, the biggest one i think that i'm really excited about is the new corvette e, right? it's an all wheel drive hybrid or that 1st ever. that's really going to be important . we also see some really interesting concepts of some new electric ram pickup truck concept. and we also have a number of new family vehicles like the toyota, grand highlander, and to new volkswagen atlas is that have just been introduced. so the industry is being transform. thank you again. here in the industry is being transformed inside this hall also outside where inventories are up, the price of used cars, the prices are down and it's an industry that's trying to focus once again on producing cars for the common person, not just the expensive ones. they were focusing on before the pandemic, or i don't, thanks john 100 reporting that from chicago. some had her not 0. the last time a super lead for europe top football clubs was proposed. you so seems like this, or we better see them again. quite up more.

ah with

a lou. ah ah sports. nick, thank you so much. we start with football and a new european super league plan has been announced. you wafers control of european football is being threatened by proposal from a 202020 need see sports management, which in 2021 tried to launch a 12 team competition, including some of europe's biggest teams. they failed on that occasion. following a found protests with fever annual are also blocking the move, but league i have already condemned the new plan,

which is understood to have the backing of round madrid, barcelona, and you bettis. so what will the new version of the super league look like? or here's what we know so far. a 2022 chief executive says it will k tain up to 80 teams. he also announced that will be a multi division competition. and that each team would have at least 14 matches every season. there would be no permanent members. he also added there'd be limits on players salaries and transfers linked to football related revenue. we've been speaking to athletics, senior football writer, raphael hogan stein. he thinks the new super lead venture may struggle to find support. well, money is always a good argument, and so all you have to convince not just a handful of clubs, but up to 80. the 80 that on this is to be in this new competition that, that they somehow would make more money than the under the existing regime. which way for somehow they would manage things better, generate more interest,

make these competitions more interesting, more exciting. but somewhere along the lines of the it doesn't quite at up because they are saying in this new proposal, which is as i said, very thin on detail that the existing domestic leaks will not be impacted at the same time. the promising a minimum amount of 14 games for any of these teams involved that would amount to a lot of games at a time when there's already a big concern about the amount of pressure and exertion that's being directed. our players is already at a very limit to add now another few more games for a still very undefined reward. sounds yeah, sounds a little bit hopeful. i must say at this point, which is why i think this is not really gonna move the needle much in terms of the public support for this venture in english, premier league majesty, and i did drop points as they looked mountain unlikely charged for the title. it came from behind to draw t t against leads the match found the return of jaden sanchez and came off the

bench to rescue point for his team and his 1st game since october in order to now 3rd, 7 points behind leaders, arsenal. he's played 2 games last the european champions around the jury will phase fell hell as saudi arabia and the final, the corporal cup in morocco on saturday route we're facing each is allow lee and we're back in the 70s. and se a junior broke the deadlock to give rail, the lead heading into the break things that really got going in the 2nd half. and federico a valve or day he gave the spanish side it's, you know, lead, i'll alley, pulled the gold back. but ralph struck twice late on rodrigo, getting on the 14th, sergio reba. rounding off the $41.00 victory and andy richardson was watching all the action from her by well,

no team likes winning this title more than around, which are that now inside of their 5th club wilcox title. after this convincing when over out of egypt, they will play al, hello out in the final rail, put on their way with a goal from vinicius junior, some positive news to him. he's going through a tough few weeks and months back in spain, where he's repeatedly being targeted with racist, the piece by physician funds before and during game. so some good news to him as he and his team get through to this title. this side a coach coach on chelsea was actually under a little bit of pressure coming here to morocco. surprising when you consider what did achieve last phase and winning the spanish league, and of course the champions league to qualify for this tournaments but not everything going great for right now in league at this time around by 8 points behind barcelona in the top right. so a victory in this tournament would be the perfect mid season. pick me up as for, i'll ask you, what was torment still could be considered a success when the how to into much use to get this fall beating oakland city on

the seattle sound as it underlines the old nature, an unfair nature, perhaps of this competition where they play those games where the champions of south america and europe step parachuted straights in to the semi finals al hours goals beats flamingo brazil in their semi final and flamingo now take on are actually in a 3rd place play off on saturday. that game will come before the final is between rail madrid and al, hello. hello. in with a chance of becoming the 1st team from outside of europe or south america, to lift the club world cup. now there are more than a $190.00 countries in the world in all, but one play football. a group of enthusiasts is trying to launch the marshall islands at 1st national team. but as joanna gosh rosco reports, they faced a race against time. ah, the marshall islands are one of the most remote places in the world, made up of 5 islands,

29 at holes and around 60000 inhabitants. the nation lies in the middle of the pacific. one and 5000 come to the way from australia. but while it's athletes have competed olympic games before this tiny nation, now hob is big dreams of playing football on the world stage because we the last national. now if that without the same. so it's very unique story that people, once we are called widow, is, is an english football coach appointed by the newly formed marsh island soccer federation. the marshall islands. very u. s. culture u. s. influenced as a lot of baseball basketball of individual schools, but not a lot of ball soccer and nation. so with the game growing in the u. s. is now naturally growing in the marshall islands and you got a lot of children that are wanting to play the game. the federation is fundraising to get its schools program and way they hope to eventually be recognized by the oceania, purple confederation. and take, parting woke up qualifying. we'll have to get

a team together 1st. yet tell me about how you're recruiting these players. foreseen you tween them. we know that there are big pools of mosley citizens in the u. s. is a case of now transit work to just find any one that plays the game with some form of marginalized ascendancy as well. because naturally then, they would be eligible to play. that's really taking off. what's the timeline then? when do you expect to have a team? when do you expect to start playing? i've been approached by kit manufacturers. we want to make sure we've got the right partner. we want to make sure that we are playing against the right people in our 1st games. so it's got to fit in that long sound process, but yeah, i think back in the 2020 great, early, 2024 will be ready to roll our national se. there's another important reason behind this. pushed recognition on the world stage at the same time, we want to raise awareness to the country as well. because yeah, unfortunately, by 2050, a lot of the islands won't be there just because of rise in sea levels and climate

change in some of the stadium. for example, maduro, the main capital island is preparing itself with seawall protection c barriers. the stadium is having one side that's going to be protect and help to protect against that, that fight. for years, the marsh islands been asking well to help them fight climate change before it leads to catastrophe on its shores. now they're hoping the nation's 1st football team will happen. school platteville joining his roster. al jazeera. okay, and that is i use park now and next back to you. i for thanks for that. thank you. now the governor of the, your state of ohio has lifted an evacuation order for residents of a town right next to a chemical spilled. 5 train carriages were carrying a vinyl, chloride, which can be fatal if people breathe it in. the government says year in the area is now safe to brief. as hydro, castro reports from nearby beaver county in pennsylvania. residents are too scared to return to their homes. in the ohio town where kathleen burford has lived all

93 years of her life, a dark plume of burning chemicals filled the sky on monday leading a smell of toxins still hanging in the air. i never saw anything like an approach never will and i'm happy about that. so maybe never happened. the in the christian house assisted living center where burford lives is near the derailment. site. staff moved 18 patients to a hotel when police ordered an evacuation over the weekend as tutor room cuz there's 2 beds will take. well, we can get now the evacuation order has been lifted, but owner karen christian says she remains skeptical about returning. i'm worried about what's in my duck system. what's in my furnace filters? what, what seeped in through the old building cracks. what's in my water? you know, am i going to let them drink water that i don't have tested in that i don't know is fine. government signed his se tests show the air is now safe to breathe. they say

during the burn off chemicals did contaminate streams killing some fish. but did not appear to impact drinking water. we understand that this incident caused an interruption and inconvenience in not in all of our lives. however, we came together as a community, but safety 1st boarding would very well could have been a tragedy of epic proportions. 84 year old gladys king is still worried, but i think the older people live, scan me, affected. i've had pneumonia twice, and i'm sure it's gonna affect my long. for now she and the other nursing home residents will remain at the hotel. the railroad company, norfolk southern has covered costs thus far. i know they're not going to take us back to totally safe that to thomas totally safe, even. and now there's concerns that the chemicals may have leaked into the ohio river. a major waterway connected to the derailment area by about 25 kilometers of

small streams. at least one down river community has switched to an alternative water source as a precaution. as fears grow of the contaminants spread. hydro castro al jazeera beaver county, pennsylvania. and that is it, this usa and by london with more, the basement. so you see. oh ah. a the untold story. ah, we speak when others done,
