12:04 pm
i want to start with what happened in who are last night because looking at the pictures from there this morning, it looks like a city this just been destroyed. tell us exactly what happened and why. that's right. molina, it's pretty much what's happened soon. also the palestinian killed to israeli settlers. the settlers in the nearby areas and close the o. r a said that they will be carrying out revenge attacks and they cooled on march . where many of them gathered they taught hundreds of calls, palestine in cause palestinian homes and palestinian shops. and in that process there was a 37 year old palestinian that was shot dead by an israeli settlers. that just gives you an idea of what was happening over night and into today, obviously palestinians in the area or say very, extremely scared. of course, for 3 days of shut down of stores of homes that been sending messages through
12:05 pm
social media warning. anyone in hawaii and in areas close by, which is all south of not bless to say in doors, there were also reports of targeting any call with a palestinian number plate that's going through palestinian cause in the area and occupied with by and since how palestinian number plates, some of those that come in from occupied east jerusalem will have his ready number plates of their even targeting cause based on where they think that from so that just gives you an idea of how hence the situation is here. and how was the area where the attack happened by the palestinian that shot dead to settlers is a road. it's a main road that connects the north center and south of occupied west bank together with many settlers passing through that road to arrive at the settlement. so supplement, saw illegal on the international law. so it's a very tense situation and even on my way here, you could see a step up in israeli security as well. yeah,
12:06 pm

12:23 pm
spanish city host, the annual mobile world congress. it's why the world's biggest want, as companies show off at the very latest designs, and this year they have foldable smartphones in a. i powered chat balls that nearly have minds of that. and those are the 1st day, the event is back to full strength since the coven 19 pandemic. and all very on charlie angela is there for us live in barcelona charlies. that wants everyone excited about this. yeah. well 1st, if you go to apologize for being outside instead of inside but, but the sheer number of devices that are connected inside means that we couldn't get connectivity in that. but inside it's all about the future. and over the next few days, some 80000 people from over 200 different countries are going to be looking at the products and the technology that gonna shape that future. and you're right in saying that this event started as one showcasing mobile phones. but now that mobile
12:24 pm
phone design and development is pretty much plateaued, it's those wireless technologies that are taking over. so we'll see the launch of a few foldable phones from some chinese companies. but really, the buzz is around the tech that you can't hold the met of us, which is essentially the internet in 3 d and generative a i like chat g, b t which is creating very human like content and has a certain industries like advertising, copyrights in some journalists, slightly quaking in the yeah. tell us, tell us a little more about the mess of us to people not so familiar about and what is the future looking like? well, it seems after a very rocky 2022 in which the company matches that it was reducing its investment in the technology. it's really now becoming more of a reality. and we've hearing the 88 percent of global companies have invested in some way or another in this kind of virtual technology. so here we're seeing lots

12:26 pm
and that is what's going to be transforming our lives. but behind the scenes, really interesting to talk to you johnny angela. there for us at the mobile world congress in asana. now the results of nigeria is presidential election are beginning to come in ballads have been counted in wants become the tightest race in decades. voting was extended into sunday um to some areas face delays or matessa reports from a new group in the southeast. i remember there is cautious optimism across nigeria as people wait for the final official election results. o voting took place in a few parts of the country on sunday, with technical glitches and isolated cases of violence disrupt to polls the day before. some of those who voted, hope results will be announced soon. you should begin with fee of a move gets refused to mix malicious free bay and fussed up so got everybody. so would let you on hold on get different jobs to the needs of it is mentally flip our

12:28 pm
contribute to development. nigeria is also struggling with a separatist movement, kidnappings for ransom conflict between headers and farmers, corruption, poverty, and unemployment issues. people here want to dressed anciently harder matessa alger integral nigeria, and one of the largest climate change experiments on the planet is underway in minnesota researches in the u. s. to trying to understand how climate change will affect the regions nature and wildlife. john hendern explains from minnesota deep in northern minnesota snow covered chippewa national forest. there is a kind of time machine. stephen sebastian's job is to peer into the future. it really is a world class research facility for understanding the effects of what we expect to happen in the future. within the forest lies a plot of government land called the marcell experimental forest,
12:29 pm
where the us forest service in oregon national laboratories have built 10 silo like structures inside researchers raise the temperature from 0 to 9 degrees celsius to simulate different levels of global warming. half the chambers also add varying levels of carbon monoxide to mimic expected future increases of the greenhouse gas from human activity. then they watch what happens. it's not encouraging. the trees are not doing as well as they're doing in the and woman closures. some of are actually dying from the conditions that are too harsh to harsh for those trees to continue to grow. that's not as bad for the trees. minnesota lies at the southern end of a peat built that stretches into the arctic its frozen cover trapping 12000 years and plant build ups into the glaciers of melted. p is this like spongy, awesome soil substance. that can be thousands of years old. slowly, slowly decomposing, or as we think about like climate change,
12:30 pm
basically storing carbon, storing that carbon is an important job. this ground is covered in p plant material that goes down for meters. p covers about 3 percent of the world's land surface, but it stores a 3rd to half of the soil carbon in the world. so as temperatures go up, it goes from being a store of carbon to release or that just makes. ready world hotter, faster inside the enclosures, it's already happening. we are seen essentially the worst case scenario we're seeing. busy we expected, but it's real. you do a little bit of warming and it starts to d, stabilize the system. the experiment suggests that if global temperatures rise just a few degrees more enough to begin melting the world's paint land. decomposing, pete could eventually release more greenhouse gases than they store accelerating climate change in setting.
