the us president joe biden, and the leaders of 9 eastern european countries. the bucharest 9 they're called, are meeting and were saw to discuss providing keys with more weapons and more age. on tuesday night, biden's crowd in the polish capital, but us sanctions imposed on russia over the war will be maintained and expanded. he also vowed that moscow would not win in ukraine. we have katrina, you joining us from beijing, but 1st let's go to a some a ben job aids in moscow to discuss the meetings currently taking place as sama, what can we expect? well, rang he, the chinese top diplomat has described the relationship between 2 countries as a rock solid. he's meeting sort of elaborate right now and is expected to meet to president vladimir putin later today in the opening statement that he talked about joint strategy of when been solution and strengthening the diplomatic ties between

the 2 countries. you have to remember that china wants to establish itself as a neutral arbiter in all of this of a war with the ukraine. it once to push forth a so called peace plan between the 2 countries. you've been hearing reports that it will be shared, would be q and moscow, and china once the 2 sides to not escalate things further and comes to the come to the negotiating table. but it is seen as ex, close ally of moscow. a china has been providing all sorts of support to russia, but it has very clearly denied that it does not include lethally, as was alluded to by us officials. we're trying to say that it is the americans who are feeling the fire in this war by providing weapons to your grand. so a lot of things to discuss, not just on the ukraine front, but also bilateral ties, economic issues and tourism in even so this is going to be an interesting visit, not just because of what is going to be discussed,

but because of the timing as well. that it is just ahead of a few hours off the anniversary of when the war with ukraine begun. ok, so i'm a thank you so much about the updates for moscow. let's bring in katrina. yes. she's joining us from beijing. so what is china hoping to get out of this visit? katrina and also on the point that sama was just raising on the report and piece plan that might be put forward by china. any more information on that? so far, not yet. but we have heard that she didn't think might be giving a speech on the anniversary of the brushes invasion of ukraine to talk about china's push for peace. certainly trying to want to take back the narrative after the munich security conference and also the incident with the balloon in the u. s. and sort of projected itself forward as a mediator as a responsible global power. and while it's a reputation has taken a battering due to its enduring relationship with moscow, china does get a lot from this relationship. it gets

a stable access to cheap oil and gas. it gets a peaceful northern border and a friend, it's quarter to counter wait. the u. s. and u. s. allies, china and russia share a world view and that they want the war to be less shaped by countries which have western democratic values. and that will serve china and allow it to have more the way in pursuing its interest in the south trying to see as well as taiwan. and so while big wants to conflict in ukraine to end, it does not want to see a weekend. russia does not want to see, we can preach and, and so we are seeing as we have this week visits by one, you 2 must go to reinvest and strengthening that relationship. you might possibly see even a visit by president. she didn't bring himself to russia later this year. all right, thank you so much. katrina for that update from beijing. what we do have a week long special series on the far reaching consequences of the ukraine war a year into the conflict tune in $1130.00 gmc, and $1630.00 gmc on wednesday. and also at 230 gmc on thursday were my colleague,

adrian finnegan, will be exploring the human impact of the war. from keith ah, in un delegation, has visited some pain in syria's rebel held north to assess the damage caused by the earthquakes. the team is trying to establish what the primary needs are in the area. local people, people struggling with the aftermath have criticize delays and receiving aid. even after a deal that open 2 additional border crossings. we came to see what the new word is used, needs in shelves, us health as a need for fresh water annotation and of course remove debris for more on the situation and serial sr. bring in, russel stars are russell. you're joining us from the turkey syria border in and

japan are a but tell us what you've managed to see there. well, as of now, just 37 more. you and trucks loaded with aid are at the moment pass in debug it. however, border crossing to get in cedar, which is macon dis, in total, $247.00 un trucks so far. however, syrians here was telling me that it's too late, it's too little busted, very much precious because they need every single of these aid to survive. this did this, this winter. so far we have seen that there has been also several high level wizards from the united nations and other international organizations. and they have made lots of promises. but as of now, the aid that is putting in that is getting in syria, it's still insufficient. considering the fact that in that rebel held area, not less celia, 4600000 people are living there. and dizzy area has been heat 2 times by tofal or tweaks just 2 weeks ago. and so now,

particularly did the town of ginger as a sal keen and had him hard worst hit places and have been just there. and you can see that the restoration is absolutely beyond the imagination. so m houses of the buildings have either been completely qualified or they are heavily damaged. but on 6000 people died and many more are injured. and also 150000 people. how being this place, so just as i was in the town of gender as in a fee improvements, and i met some of the survivors and to see how they are dealing with the aftermath of the earthquake in these people are trying to find whatever is left in their destroyed homes, this rubble was, was up to reserve hassan's house. now he fears he may even lose this if he has to find the title loving but had this other well of either thought,

france. she says her family has been displaced several times, but i know it was rainy and cold. after saying 8 days on the street, we got this tent, but it's not for winter. it's tiny. kids can't sleep during the night because of the cold. i want nothing. just the proper tent for my kids. the impact of the earthquakes left many families chattered here. the face is bad, the weight of loss and devastation. many syrians here town. they had survived the worst of the enduring to well the years of civil war and conflict. but now, in the aftermath of the earthquakes, they have lost even more their homes, possessions, and sense of security. more serious, he'd have spent years running away from the war, their only dream and normal life. with them a satellite due to gateway, we feel that the earthquake will hit again any time we just set up

a tent here and are living in it. nowhere is safe. now. people here say most lives were lost due to lack of more than rescue equipment. and now an absence of 8th food and shelter is worse than in their misery. christmas said that al jazeera gender, us, nor to syria. well, let's not bring a newcomer. she's a journalist, he's joining us now from italy, that's in the northwest, syria, nor what are you seeing where you are and how much aid is actually coming into this area now. well as are we all seeing, how do you and is a you and 8 is coming through the bible, how a border crossing with to kia and of course this you and came 4 days after the artwork took a place. and a several administrators told us that this aid was scheduled even before the earthquake took place and no aid related to the earth to responding to the victims

of the earthquake entered through the bible. how a border crossings. and as we saw in the previous a previous period, how the you and waited for the aside regions approval to allow the opening of additional humanitarian border crossing at the delivery of you and aid to areas of northwestern assyria are right now the numbers, the number of the of the of the you and aid trucks that enter through the bible. how a border crossing are the newly opened a border crossings which are a barber said i am. and i bought the crossing with turkey a to around a 100 more than a 175. you and a truck and loaded with a, with iron such as food and a tense for the a family. there are currently living into in temporary shelter a centers. however, no, no aid related to the earthquake over the do the damages that the earthquake caused entered through the barrel house, such as a portable hospitals or assertion,

a search, an international search and extraction operations. however, the u. n. a stated that additional aid will answer through the newly opened humanitarian border crossings and the previously opened a border crossing above a hoa. so how are people coping in the aftermath of all of this? well, the people are now staying in either temporary shelters that were installed bye and g o. even before the latest earthquake that hit the region and bees are, these shelters are now crowded with the victims of, of the, of the 3 us who exerted the areas of north assyria. we saw many people living in an already hard circumstances as they are. they were already internally displaced up to more than 5 times. and many of them a didn't even have the opportunity to stay in

a temporary shelter centers and are currently living either in staying either in their cars or on the streets. or even some of them are staying under the rubble of their, of their a damaged buildings. and nobody knows, actually what's gonna happen to these people as the they're a suffering is on the arise due to the continuous effects of the previous disaster and the latest one. quarter mars. thank you so much for speaking to us from 11 or proper shelter as you've been hearing is the most urgent need now for earthquake survivors. the un says more than 5000000 people left homeless in syria, and more than a 1000000 inter kia are intense and temporary shelters. turkish government has temporarily bound the export of containers, which are now being used as emergency housing center because of ugly reports from ankara. this lanier will soon be a roof over a container. it'll keep one of thousands of families warm after 2 earthquakes

people who are looking for an alternative re me. some of the contenders looking to become nigeria as next presidents as they make their final purchase to voters coming up and sport haiti's women make history by reaching the world's cup for the 1st time. that's coming up with them. ah, before all that, we do have breaking news and at least 2 palestinians have been killed in an is really read in the occupied westbank city of nablus. more than 36 have been injured . let's bring into but i am. she's joining us from romano. also in the occupied west bank, we're just looking at the ongoing classes taking place in nablus on the live feed, nevada. tell us what you've been hearing. we've been hearing that the number of

those who had injured is not only 36, which is a high number, but that the majority of them would hit. why live ammunition? this is a very high number when it comes to the confrontations that take place between these really forces on the palestinians. now we know that novelist is an epicenter novice and you need 4 armed palestinian men and we've seen similar confrontations go on. and exchange is a fire between palestinian fighters and israeli forces. but this is unusual for those raids is really ready to take place in such a time in the morning at 10 am when these really forces rated local time. it was a busy market and we heard that 2 palestinian fighters with surrounded inside the house at the outskirts of the old city. they're members of a group that holds itself. the lions den. it's a group of r, palestinian men who say that is really only understands the language affords.

they've taken up arms. they've had assumed responsibility for several attacks against his ready soldiers and his weighty settlers in the occupied west bag. so we're looking at an escalation, we're looking at $52.00 palestinians who had killed since the beginning of the year by israeli forces. and we're still in the 2nd month of the year. okay, in the dark, we'll leave it there. thank you so much for that update from the occupied westbank semi mom begun a young woman who left london at the age of 15 to join eyesore, has lost the appeal against the removal of her british citizenship. this information just en, let's bring in at the mother, he's joining us from london. so what does this mean for her and as him well, this is clearly a setback for shima bega, who is still in that camp in northern syria where she was found to be living in

2019 for years after she left her home in east london with 2 friends to go to turkey and on to syria into the so called caliphate a. busy run by, i saw a so called islamic state, but this is not the end of the or the legal challenge that she can bring. she can go to the court of appeals here in the u. k. the supreme court after that. and then her lawyers have even suggested it could go to the european court of human rights. now, her citizenship a was stripped back in 2019 by the van home secretary saget javits. a. he was criticized by a former director of public prosecutions at the time saying that he'd done so just because he wanted to further his aims to become prime minister out of ambition. and

that job individual said it was immoral that was there was significant parts of british public opinion, very hostile to she, me, ma, begum fact van, who'd gone obviously of her own volition to syria. she since has given interviews in which she says that she would be prepared to stand trial for a membership of i. so a terrorist organization she denies ever carrying out violent acts or preparing the more training people to do so. some public sympathy has actually swung her weight in those into is in recent months and years where she said house she had to marry an eyesore fighter. she lost 3 young children when she was a out in syria. and she basically has challenged them her, her british citizenship removal, saying that it rendered her state less, which it effectively housed on. the british government says she could apply for banquet that she citizenship,

that country wants nothing to do with her. but her lawyers have also argued that the government have failed to take into account the fact that she was effectively the victim of trafficking rights and reminders. once again how the government actually fought to keep her from returning to the ukraine as it will all along. they have presented this as a matter of national security. originally the court of appeals said, but she, mim begum, could come back to britain to try to get her citizenship back. in 2021. the supreme court overturned that ruling and, and the grounds for that was national security saying that hadn't been given sufficient consideration just at the end of last year. when this hearing started, the government lawyers again was stressing that behind their reasoning was that if she were allowed to come back, it would expose the public to an increased risk of,

of terrorism. even if she mistaken did get her citizenship bike, she'd be in a situation of perhaps dozens of people still in syria who'd gone to join i. so who are actually not allowed to come back via authorities that will only grant them permission if the u. k. government says, please do so. they're not minded to do that. it's a very unusual situation compared to many other countries, including around europe and the u. s. who have repatriated, their citizens, often to stand trial or to be held in high security facilities. but for now should be my vega, a stuck in syria, thank you so much. and as in bob offer that up there from london thousands of trucks of ground to a halt at a major border crossing between pakistan and afghanistan. the to work on crossing has been closed since sunday evening and gunfire was reported on monday. the provincial taliban official told a news agency, the pakistan had not allowed sick people to cross for treatments. arkansas has not

commented, so farm come a hide are, has more from the border between the 2 countries. thousands of trucks on both sides of the border. these drivers have fetish items on board the truck, which i've got going to be re state and they're going to be a total large. they're waiting on the roadside throughout the high body. and you can imagine the meandering road. busy all lined up with container drugs rate drug carrying fresh fruits and vegetables. all kinds of items that have got mean are delay because there is no certainty as to when the border will open the avalon side of god, saying that budget on it, nor did behaving to the agreement, they made buckets on. on the other hand, i've taken extra steps in order to ensure that there's no infiltration across the

border, particularly after the attack on day police. compound and ridge about 100 people. and that of course, now has led to more stringent measures on the border, but this is an emotional issue because people in the one that's on are dependent for medical treatment on the buckets on the side that is a human or daddy an issue. we have been told that several patients have died waiting for the medical treatment. so the once i decided to close the border now we are told that although there were attempts to try to solve that problem to negotiations so far they've been no headway. cilla had on the all just there are a news. our c lions are being buried on peruse beaches as birds flew, takes full coming up and for raining and real bad weather delays. you should defending champion in brazil coming up with drama and just a

the it's so cold in eastern europe. that was a big pool of cold, settled in here around which is wrapped frank system. this side was all nice and warm, but you see the triangle has been formed and closing with clattered rain here. so there are changes who no longer windy nice. your potential are very low as you can see, and there's not much sun the skies often a very cloudy picture, so still disappointing. whereas here it's changed from warmish sunshine to plant rain and quite a cold wind, particularly from northern spain, maybe northern portugal. thus chasing is completely in the south of france, where we see almost reco breaking warmth over the last few days. so take to lose, for example, it was 19 on monday, then 15. now going down to 8 on thursday and slowly only slowly recovering. beyond

that, from north africa. well it stopped raining too heavily in morocco. now g, rivers to shout around the atlas bank. they had not gone completely and the wind into strong as it was. so the dust and sand, for example in north nigeria isn't as bad as it was, but this is for many places the this month. yes, surprising though, it may be in february and we see near record breaking high values, incentive goal, and also nigeria. and i suspect going to see that for the coming week as well. ah ah ah.

examining the impact of today's headlines, this is what is the what about ensuring that we cannot continue? let count on that and setting the agenda for tomorrow's discussions. i don't believe that i think in the face that is willing to kill international filmmakers and world class journalists, bring programs to inform and inspire you need to have a media ensuring that all the hood on al jazeera lou wow, ah, hello again, the top stories on the al jazeera news, our china's top diplomat rang,

he's a moscow holding high level talks with the russian foreign minister. sergio lobrado, china says it stands on the ukraine. war is neutral. this is used last off on an 8 day international tour, but un delegation has visited some pain in syria as rental held north to assess damage caused by recent earthquakes. people in the region have criticized delays in the humanitarian response. russia has produced its largest recorded wheat harvest in 2022, and has been selling green at a discount. a living costs have been rising for months. and as ali hash reports, when the rouble with the rubel weakening against a dollar more tough times are expected. war sanctions and the global economic downturn are with using what gosh, i can put in her shopping basket to feed her family as much as we do. we began to focus more on essential products due to the fact that prices have risen. we buy

what we needs no extras because the priorities are already too expensive. for example, we now at least fish thing before. people are more squat being more or less dash i can only afford cheaper goods. dollars for the good. in general, the cost of the food basket has increased by 30 percent. we're spending more of our budget on groceries in before because wages have remained the same and food prices have risen. western sanctions imposed on russia have led to major international brands pulling out of the country. local companies are trying to fill the guy last year. it was possible to fill this basket with more goods for less money. that's not the case anymore. after nearly year of what russia calls at special operation and ukraine export so same the government is trying to control crisis. but that doesn't seem to be working. although property rental prices are fallen the last year, utility bills have increased by 9 percent. according to official numbers. big data

experts say gator janski's says people are only buying what they need, says linear austin that i want to appear on your part. you missed you. unfortunately, the rising prices for a central goods is faster than any increase in peoples in company bubble, but people are adapting to the difficult situation with the reducing expenses. no pre not related to a central good sort of club. what survey says, inflation has reached nearly 12 percent in the last year. what grad past and mill prices are rising above that 4th grade. his directness of i'm with your name in moscow. there is an approved minimum wage which of about $280.00. but it's obvious that living on the minimum wage is quite problematic. let me officially moscow says the conflict in ukraine is having the minimal impact on the lives of russians. what on the ground, the reality appears very different. are the hash images 0 more school? let's better not be up the lie of who's a partner for control risks, that's a global consultancy. and also he's also the former chief editor of the moscow

times joining us from london. welcome to al jazeera sir. so as we approached that one year anniversary of the war and ukraine, what's your assessment off the russian economy? oh, was morning and nice to meet you. all the rest of the economy has suffered considerable blows, but to these blows. actually targeted certain sectors. if we talk about russian economy as, as general, then a different assessment of how g d p. shank, for example, world bank says it's 3 and a half percent. and president flooding says it's doing the person, but we need to take a granular look at the rational economy because a lot of it was bolstered by military spending. but if you look at certain sectors, for example, as automobiles, you will see that the last year, for example,

the market for them on bio shrank by 60 percent. so meaning that the russians both only 40 percent of what they were buying last yes. and also most of the cars, for example, that they bought now russia made or chinese models, right. major european makes are no longer present from the i see what you're saying about having to look at the details. but let me just put this to you because the russian economy, this is, according to the federal statistics bureau and russia itself. it says the economy contract to buy 2 point one percent last year. and now the world bank, i'm sure you're aware it was predicting contraction of 11.2 percent. i mean there's a real wide gap there. it just, some people will say, well, this points to the resilience of the russian economy despite the sanctions on the country. yes, i will. degree resilience demonstrated by russian economy is all spending because russia is, company was quite

a diversified economy. this is what st. and also it was the nature of sanctions that kind of prevented such a be call ups. the sanction started which had mainly imports in russia, but they did not start again until recently. exports in what kind of allowed inflow of dollars into the country, and kept a strong rouble for a very long time. for example, in march, president, job by them said that the russian rouble, which is now with around 70 in march, yet ago she said it will be $120.00. so do you think that the wealth was somewhat over confident about the speed and the effect of the sanctions that they were placing on russia? yes, i will degree so that the 1st of all. and also it resulted in the change of the net. if you'd be fine, sanctions, for example, initially sanctions where designs as a me to change behavior of the rush leadership. it didn't work. now people define

change the behind the sanctions. they speak about kind of setting rational economy and kind of depriving, could put human resources to h, y, and ukraine. there was a shift in focus of sanctions era company classifies russia as a high risk country. so how does that actually affect international business and international dealings with russia? so continue doing business in russia is becoming increasingly risky from several points of view. as you understand, the factional spreadsheets growing and with more than more russian companies and rushing usual, being sanction with more than 80 percent of the russia banking system is under sanctions. it is very difficult to conduct business without violating sanctions and other aspects. so these are the sanctions also destroyed in many cases, logistical and supply chain for the companies that are reaching in russia in no

sanction will sectors. and therefore they have to leave as well, or they have to maybe like, or i would say think a settled position and try to wait through the situation. ok, we'll leave it there. thank you. now be the lay of for speaking to us from london into her rescue. teams in brazil are searching for a dozens of people who are missing after floods and landslide swept areas around. sao paolo, at least, 44 people have died. monica and i have reports themselves, sebastian rescue teams have been working around the clock. now they're trying to get as much done because they think that it may rain pretty soon. this is an area that has been very affected by the floods and by the land slides is an area where there were many families in one house alone that was destroyed. there were 30 tourists now. earlier this morning we saw as the farm and were carrying out the

bodies of people that they found here to day. monica inactive or 0, so said by shall brazil. more than $700.00 sea lions have died of bird flew in protected areas and peru vats on health experts are investigating how the outbreak has seemingly jump between species. laura con has more many who have ensured the cov 19 pandemic. understand this newson, this time feels improve being tested for bird flu or h $5.00 and $1.00 which is spreading through the region and taking with it hundreds of c lines means element, then they saw it initially started with pelicans last year. now it's affecting these marine mammals or additional means, a mother. she said, all of them being we have recorded since mid january. the unusual death of many see lie. so far we have about 716 dead in 7 protected areas, a law hurry recorded at 1st cases of the highly infectious virus in november. and

since then, the government says it's killed $63000.00 birds. but globally, since 2021, the world organization for animal health says more than 200000000 birds have been killed or cold to contain the virus. it seeing the worst ever outbreak as health likes that say al breaks you sheep again, an autumn and fate by spring, the reports are becoming more frequent. they blame rise in cases on global temperatures, forcing birds to alter migration patterns, changes in farming methods and increased movement between countries of animals and humans. to key be contained, they say surveillance and isolation are important, but more needs to be done to build up vaccine stocks. and although the rest, the humans is low, it remains a public health concern. a sorry multicast. they've eat with him, please have yet. if we know this, but flu virus is highly pathogenic on birds,

but it can also affect mammals. if i'm not wrong, that was a case in ecuador. what a child got infected well and now sea lions are getting infected. it's likely more people will more cases a popping up across south america. for now in peru see lions a being carefully buried to contain spread nor hon al jazeera. i'm sure he has presidential election is just days away and candidates are making their final pitches to voters. i did that east reports from a boucher oh peter gregory, you'll be a former governor of our number state is the youngest at the front runners to be nigeria. next president, his campaign message seems to resonate with young voters who say they are tired of the politics of the world. oh, we want to secure a new night. niger. one to

close from la jr. form is president cost because consumption to productive coach. 6 a successful businessman, he broke away from the party that made him governor, and one that chose him must presidential running, mate to leave the labor parties. presidential campaign rugby also cocoa, so has a similar shift from the major parties to one that doesn't control any legislature or state. then and p. p kennedy's a for my defense minister, and was governor of nigeria. second was popular state county for 8 years. the election now is between the big names who have destroyed this country and people who are looking for an alternative. the 2010 to 3 election is in business as usual . the 2 new contenders and their supports believe they can and see the governing party just like in 2015. when the opposition won the opponent say they can only divert votes from the main political parties. some analysts expect the to,

is getting. last month microsoft confirmed a multi $1000000000.00 investment in open a i the company behind chat g p t. now the company is restricting access to the a. i chat feature of its being browser. after reports of unsettling conversations with the chat bought microsoft recently gaze technology reporters, an opportunity to test the chat, bought before it was publicly released. one reporter wrote that after a long conversation about the chat box capabilities, it said it was in love with him and urged him to and his marriage. it also mused about skills it had but was forbidden to use, including developing a biological weapon and stealing nuclear secrets. the chat bought took a belligerent tone with another reporter comparing him to hitler and stalin. microsoft is now being talked about as a company that's putting out an innovative idea. so for them, this is a when,

even if there are some embarrassing bumps along the way. on tuesday, microsoft announced being chat will now answer only 6 questions for conversation after which users are told to start a new topic. users will also be limited to 60 questions per day. in total, microsoft said long conversations quote, can't confuse the underlying chat model. google is also racing to bring a i capabilities to its browser, which it says will be called bard observers say the model could power a new technology and information revolution. but critic, so artificial intelligence have long speculated about doomsday scenarios. late physicist stephen hawking, ward fully intelligent a, i could quote, spell the end of the human race, rob reynolds al jazeera los angeles. let's re until the wall. she's the chief scientist at the a. i institute at university, new southwell sydney. but at the moment until the well, sir,

joining us from washington dc, welcome to al jazeera. so do you think that we are going to be looking at doomsday scenarios as rob reynolds? i put it in his report or are these kind of early stages bugs that that can be fixed. i see this is dawn of a new way that we're going to interact with computers. we're going to have intelligent conversations. as the footage showed, the still a lot of bugs that need to be worked out. it's very early days. so you saw you find that it was our lives or, or, or should people take these concerns quite seriously. the deputy bugs and we're going to on them out and, and a will get better. i remember when i saw the breakfast i phone, i remember thinking, well that's a new way that we going to access computer. we can have to p as in our hands, but the 1st life i was a big funky and these are still a bit clunky and there were certainly so embarrassing problem, of course is worth putting out. this is not the 1st time that microsoft have

released an embarrassing chapel off a dozen years ago. they had take which they had to take out line after it's turned into a races. the surgeon is nazi lobbying a chatbox and then experiencing since similar birthing pains. here, right, but the idea for lying on a machine to have conversations and generate responses has when it has great serious concerns. and do you think that there are any war? what, what do you think are the biggest danger? is related to ai but the biggest change deja here is that it, it, and this makes, it sometimes makes things up. it's been trained on the web to say things that are probably not to say things that are true. i'm and because this is a lot of untruths on the web and a lot of offensive things, it's repeating a lot of these untruths and offensive things. and so we've got to put stronger, better guard rails in place to ensure that it does at that very rarely. and the microsoft have put gog, rosie, but they're not. i asked,

what is the future look like for these a i chat box in your opinion. oh, i think this is officer, you know, a new way for us to access information. if you think about it at google search hasn't really changed for the last 20 years. is much the same as it was in the 2 thousands. when you 1st logged on to google and the fact it's got a little bit worse as a lot more advance. and it's not such a good experience. and, and when, when people are searching and using google or being or whatever the search engine that they're not looking to leaks, which is what was such as giddy, they're looking for answers. and these new chat box off of the possibility that you'll not get back links where you have to go and find the answer, but they'll give back the answer itself. so will these at chat bought a replace internet search engines like google? is that what you're saying? that is an existential threat to a company like google. it may be that all of a switch to be at, even if we all stay using globally google's bod, which is their, their alternative to, to be,

and is the one that we will use. and it's still gonna affect my bottom line because of the moment google get most of their revenue, because we click on the links. well, we're getting the answer. we're not clicking on the link. so it really is again, changing my mind to google. and it's interesting to see, i'm how quickly and our innovative good was responses. ok, thank you. let's have a waltz. thanks so much for speaking to us from washington d. c. the family, excuse me, mexico's former top security chief has been convicted in the us of drug trafficking in new york. so a jury found gennaro. garcia loon i guilty of taking millions of dollars. are mexico's largest crime route. this in a lower cartel of the country's top law enforcement. official, luna, was once the face of mexico's war on drugs. we'll take a short break, but coming up on al jazeera, we have action from the champions league is not fully take control of their last. it's the entire against frankfurt that's coming up in a moment. we'll jump ah
