displaced by war and earthquakes, communities in northwestern, syria, and are being threatened by a cholera outbreak. at least 3 people have died. i'm 30 several in his can. little tortilla were hundreds of homes that were used as portable homes while during the world cup. and carter have arrived to this war to help those who have been left home left by the earthquake french president monro macro on the you pledge aid through man, it's harry, an air bridge to the eastern democratic republic of congo, where hundreds of thousands of people are displaced also hundreds more blocked africans are being repatriated from 2 nicea, after enduring racist attacks, indiscriminate arrests and forced expulsions. plus, i'm jessica washington and hong kong were environmental groups are working to save the territories damaged oyster and on for a small have all the sport to as the raised english primarily champion is heating

leaders, arsenal. look to make up for a victory in a row. as they attempt to win the title for the 1st time in nearly 2 decades. ah. both of these are, let's bring you some breaking news, coming out of iran, where dozens of school girls across 5 provinces are in hospital after a new wave of suspected poisoning attacks on friday, present ever. he received blamed the attacks on iraq, tom's enemies, that's cool. so what correspond and dosage about his entire on for us now. and also, what do we know about these latest attacks and, and where they happened? while according to human rights groups inside the country, there has been at least 40 attacks in various parts of europe, not limited to any specific province. we are seen footage emerging from various

schools and universities where we see girls being taken out on stretchers to hospitals. they have difficulty breathing and they're clearly distraught. according to semi official news agencies, there have been at least a dozen attacks taking place on saturday alone at various parts of the country were girls have been attacked while they were studying in classroom. this is certainly an escalation over what we've seen in the story in the past week. and that's something that has been ongoing in iran since november, but over the past 10 days or so. these attacks have certainly increased, not only in numbers, but also in locations across iran, not limited to certain provinces. we've seen a number of attacks on wednesday alone. there were a 10 schools in teheran alone that were attacks. and we saw a number of victims being taken to hospital associates overseas has said that it's

iran's enemies behind this. but that's pretty vague in itself. other being any clear about where the finger of blame is being pointed. no for right now, there is no clear answer being provided by any officials in government. we heard from the reigning president abraham bracy during the speech on friday. he choose western powers of carrying out these attacks to try and create instability in iran and try to create fear amongst the parents of these girls of school girls in general in the country. we know that the president has passed the interior minister to look into at these attacks and also trying to figure out what is happening and to prevent them from taking place land or stand that the various levels of intelligence apparatuses in the country are also working with the interior ministry, but i think it's important to point out that we don't have any clear answers and the officials haven't provided any evidence that they've come up with that would

prove western powers to be involved or foreign powers to be involved in these attacks. what is clear is that they are increasing in numbers, which is only making parents more worried. i've spoken to a number of parents over the past few hours. who say there are clearly worried about their daughters and they're not sure if they will send them back to school in the coming days. we also saw a number of parents whose daughters were taken to hospital. they were outside the interior ministry earlier in the capital, trying to the men answers from officials and reports came back that they were taken away from that area and not allow to demonstrate. so it is certainly the issue is escalating and the attacks are increasing, which is only creating more fear amongst the public. you said that these attacks had begun in november and i'd talk fashion around the country in different provinces, and hard to actually see a pattern per se. so one of the authorities, what advice of the authority is given to schools and educational authorities in

various provinces about taking precautions? well, we haven't heard any specific instructions from officials and that is one of the points of contention amongst parents. how schools here operate in general, if there are public schools, they do have most of them security cameras installed at various points outside around the parameters of the schools, and inside them as well. and what is creating frustration amongst the parents is since the 1st case was reported back in november in the city of on the authorities did not take the parents concerns that seriously. it was only over the past week that officials gone involved because they saw these increase the tax taking place. the parents are saying, how could the officials have no leaves or no answers for us as to how to prevent these attacks from taking place as to how the government is planning on protecting these girls better in the coming days while they go through the school year i think

it's important also to highlight that the officials are saying that they don't want to panic and fear to be increased amongst the parents. but clearly as these packs continue and their failure to do anything about them is making those parents just more worried. as we go through these days and we also understand the speaker of parliament, leave off his all holding a meeting with various heads of different committees in parliament were waiting to find out what they will come up with us to their recommendations will continue to follow the story in the coming hours, dosage of all the correspondent force into rob. well, was saying in iran because the head of the nuclear watchdog has met with president my you see over her on the nuclear program with groceries visits comes days after i a e, a inspectors sound. and iranian nuclear, scientists enriched uranium to ne, a weapons grade level around says it's nuclear program is for peaceful purposes and

not for developing nuclear weapons. we happen to have a, a deep, serious, systematic dialogue with iran. and this is why i am here. it's been too long. there have been a number of issues throughout the year. and i'm very glad that the long last i have been able to return. i think it's going to be more than satisfactory. an important visit. oh, the in a nation, devastated by civil war earthquakes and now facing a cholera outbreak, at least 3 people have died in the rebel control. the west pulse and sanitation facilities as well as water sources are extensively damaged by the quakes. well, living conditions in the camps were bad before they struck,

but it's got even worse. millions of people in neighboring to hear now also living and make sure comes after the homes of flattened by earthquakes. health work is say they need urgent support to help survive as deal with a trauma and mental illness. well, i'll just say how some algebra is at a camp for displaced people in garcia and tap in southern turkey. theresa boats is that it's candor and poor to contain is used to host visitors during the cattle world cup a being sent for families of routed by the quake. but 1st i said to live in syria and speak to jen, it's a new commotion. of course, you can talk a little bit more about the outbreak of cholera in the region where you are because it's there, the health officials are getting more and more concerned. yes. well, as we know, the catastrophic thinks that the, the areas in office is here, that not only called at the severe, complete destruction of thousands of buildings. it is also called severe damages to

the infrastructure in the areas of the syria, such as the sewage systems in the, in be affected, the areas which, which are directly affected the, the access to clean water for the people in the area of the city and the civil defense team stated a war and the people in north west of syria about the outbreak of corner as 3 additional deaths due to the disease occurred after the devastating bricks and the number of suspected cases jump to more than 570 suspected cases. and also, these themes are also stating warnings that these numbers are likely to increase in the upcoming days. as thousands of people are still living in shelter and collective shelter centers which make make the disease spread even faster. as most of the people who are affected by the disaster are women and children and

even before they are which of the areas the, the areas of notice the entire area was already suffering from a lack of proper sewage system as 6 to 3 percent of the refugee camps in the area lack proper sewage systems and for to 3 lack the access to clean water on these numbers are more likely to increase in the upcoming days as being catastrophe still hasn't completely subsided. new promotions, thanks so much. joining us from it live that's was over to talk about who's in it's going to ruin of cool. so teresa, we spoke on friday and we talked about the fact that turkey is still in the middle of winter, though. looks very bright and sunny where you are and will solid accommodation is required. and that seems to be arriving now. well, most certainly were here at the port of canada where over $300.00 portable homes that were using contra during the world cup have a ride. there's lots of expectation about the peer, precisely because of what you said,

we do know that there's at least 14 other ships on the way coming here with 1000 about the home. the objective would be well to make it reach around $10000.00 home . that could be delivered to those who are in need. this house is worth set up in kata during the world cup in the death started to accommodate fans while the world cup was all going there. fully equipped and this is something that wherever you go around to this day, especially on all the year that's been effected by the earthquakes, it's desperately needed earlier today we were inside a train station where people, a 1000 people are living inside of train. you go to other areas where their containers cps. again, people are desperate for a home that government has started the rebuilding process. they say that they have started from apartment building from some parts that been affected by the earthquake. but when you talk to people, they know that this is something that's going to take time. the turkish government says that they're hoping to do this process the rebuilding process in

a year to deliver over $300000.00 home. but this is not going to be fat and that's why houses like this one portable houses are crucial for many of those who have been affected by the earthquake. teresa. thank you. barbara is law 1st thing doesn't happen. southern tech in hash me, of course. so health conditions and facilities have been the focal point since the earthquakes hit both turkey and syria as well. what is the situation like right now as there was continued to be so has the biggest concern for health workers and engineers operating across the 11 provinces. there were head by the 2 powerful earthquakes about 4 weeks ago. the reason being is that you have over 2000000 people who were displaced during the after the earthquake. and most of these people live in

a makeshift camps like the one which is you can see behind me here in the garage. and so the government is trying to distribute hygiene kids, medical supplies, deploy merle by a pharmacist. there are those areas because the biggest concern is water, particularly when it comes to tab water, they feel that it could be contaminated in similar some areas. and therefore they're asking people just to use bottled water. but we're talking about over 2000000 people. and therefore, the m, the crisis management agency, are fad, is going to be difficult ask of for the agency in the upcoming weeks and wants to deliver that bottled water constantly on a daily basis for those hundreds and thousands of people i factored. and this explains why when you go to places like buy latiere, when you go to, ah, but i got a man mad art, nor does he, you get the same concern, voiced again and again by those agency which is the potential for an outbreak of diseases, particularly colored targeting the most fundamental in those, this place,

communities, the elderly and the children. and they say we have to have a warning system to flag up any case that happens in the near future. because 1234 cases. therefore, it could be a red flag and we have to be ready for that. the government says it contains the situation. it controlled the situation, but this is definitely going to be a delicate task ahead. hush marlboro there for us in guardianship. thank you. ah, for president manuel nicole says all sides involved in the conflict in easton democratic republic of congo have agreed to support a ceasefire. macro made the announcement during a visit to can sure, sir, during the last leg of his talk of central africa, france has pledged $36000000.00 to a humanitarian fund set up by the european union to help the region. more than half

to continue taking way the territory from the congo a government forces campaign is in congo organized protests in recent days. again, president mccrendon who they say is complicit in the killing and displacing civilians which em 23 is blamed. and they say the reason for this is because of france is support for one the including military support via the european union. and rwanda is in turn, blamed for supporting and $23.23 widely understood to be proxy. although and $23.00 denied it, and $23.00 fighters carry rwandan army military equipment which protested, understand, is paid for by fraud. now, 10 years ago, congo government 40 defeated m 23, but at the time they had substantial international military support. there was

a clear political will to do so at the time from the government in can shatter, no sanction placed on. and by the time the us in the netherlands who are among the countries that support the government of rwanda and the campaign is say that it's that kind of decisive action that now needed from france and the other countries that provide support in military support to rhonda if the conflict is actually going to be brought to a close and if any sci fi i can be up, how much love that for us in i very be. thank you. lauren, for can nation's are flying then citizens out of to nicea, following a government crackdown on undocumented immigrants activist say many people from sub saharan africa had been attack since president said accuse them of changing the countries demographics rights groups have condemned his comments as racist. and the african union says it's shocked by the statement from deco his nicholas huck. you will focused lessons on social media,

but europeans don't want them on their continent that have signed agreements with north african countries, like tenicia to stop them from crossing the mediterranean. according to aid agencies, they are 30 to 50000 african migrants living in tunisia, illegally. tunisian rights activist, miriam, my store says they are mistreated and do menial jobs that to neeagin's don't want to do. she says she and her husband have also experienced abuse for racism is a, has a long history in julia against black people, even if a black people are like 10 or 15 percent of the population. now people into there are in social and economic crisis. so the president, he uses a black people as the scapegoats tunisians are out on the streets denouncing the attack, holding sign thing, tunisians come in all colors. it's not only

a reminder of the diversity of the country, but a call for unity in the faith of growing bigotry and division. nicholas hawk al jazeera corn synagogue, thousands of supporters of tin as his lay b, in a protesting against president clay slave, other accusing him of cracking down on government. critics of the provenance opposition, politicians were arrested as it's a dissolved parliament in 2021 elections in december, boycotted by the opposition to accused him of a power grab phil had hit the algebra, news gangs compete for territory and haiti's capital and civilians are caught in the crossfire uninstall it again, changing venture for women's cricket that story coming up in a little while the fed wagner messen regroup, says the ukrainian city of backlit is almost completely surrounded by russia and

russian performers upsetting the russian artists. but the remain undeterred. fortune is that you made the terms you canceling russian culture. i mean, i feel sorry pity for these people. come with them. i can't even understand who could think of counseling chikavsky, and i think these are shallow, narrow minded politicians who make decisions like that from tolstoy that you called ski art and culture has a special place in russian society. many countries have cancelled or restricted russian performances since the invasion of ukraine. but for those who dedicated their lives to performing arts, they say it's unfair for them to be dragged into politics. russians, and also concerned about cultural appropriation. artists are he plenary is now labeled as a ukrainian at new york's metropolitan museum of art. clergy died in 1910 in the russian empire, while ukraine, as a state only existed from 1918 critics, a russian painter. even i was off ski who died in 1900,

on as we go through the next few days, as the central parts of africa. well more the same, it's dry, it's warm and sunny. got the showers, they're just around the equator and to the south thereof. and of course, still major concerns in the mozambique channel. this is what was ready. so i climbed freddie now regenerating in those warm waters. they're pushing some very heavy, re into that western side of madagascar. over the next few days, it is going to cause further flooding. then you see how that where to, where the stretches up across a good part of madagascar, inter mozambique and pushing a little further north. well, still had hail on al jazeera. ah, who pulled from the title to festival is bringing the spirits animal out of some devotees. uninstalled the new formula one season is up and running, but not without a few surprises. those details coming up if you stay with us. ah,

the cholera break good followed us. think the northwest and syria last month is getting worse. at least 3 people have died. well, let's bring in geron, nevada. he's the head of syria, earthquake, emergency operations of the international federation of the red cross and red crescent societies and joins from damascus and still about a good time with us on the program. the i, c r c. have been monitoring the cholera numbers i believe for some time, and that has been a steady increase. i think since september, but how much was it getting since the earthquakes? yeah, that's right. so the syrian red crescent and then as partners i've been responding to, you know, disease outbreaks, specifically diarrhea and color for the last several months. but in the last last months and years has begun, we ramped up our assistance and we are concerned that there are more cases and more people that require assistance. so we are concerned by this largely because there

are displaced people still in community shelters and schools and marks that have, you know, that require sanitation support, water, clean water. ready kind of aspects. so we are concerned by what the numbers are telling us. we had earlier from a contribute to the medical facilities already back in bad shape because of the civil war. certainly in northern syria and also those that were destroyed in southern turkey. we also know that various countries, antenna mobile clinics and mobile hospitals, can you just give us an idea of what the situation is like in terms of clinics to actually deal with those that need help if this color outbreak gets any worse? yes, certainly the last 12 years of the crisis here has not to help situation for the, for the people that are affected by this earthquake. what i can tell you is that over the last month, red cross red crescent teams through this area and red crescent have been responding in a number of ways. ready to the outbreaks that are happening,

i think 1st and foremost of education, hygiene and health promotion, messaging to people, providing them with information on how to protect themselves and their families. and to people need systems to provide to make sure that's happening. so what we provide is clean drinking water, for example, right to all the effects and populations. we provided hygiene parcels and other hygiene kids. now this is all reinforcing the health care system better existing here. and the red cross requesting clinics that are already in place, clinics are only part of the solution to an outbreak like this. we know that community work really makes a big difference, and that's where our efforts are going. how much more age do you need to see coming into the country and is it a k solve donation? so the international community being able to buy the things that you need to get into the right location, or is it about the logistics of if the, if the aid is already in the country and in damascus or in syria, getting it to the affected areas quickly enough, it's

a combination of all 3. we are certainly in a race against time and providing assistance. we know that more assistance is needed to bring into the area. we need more cash and funding to purchase items inside syria itself. and then we need more support to ensure that we can have access to all the affected areas that syria and red crescent tens, volunteers have access to significant parts of the country where the effective people are. but we just need more assistance to get to them. i'm so clean drinking water, hygiene parcels, and kids and other medical items are the priority for us in the coming weeks to develop the i c, r. c, joining us in damascus. thanks so much for your time. thank you very much. now 3 pro democracy activists in hong kong have been found guilty of security offences. la childhood towing was amongst those convicted for not complying with a police request for information. they organized gatherings to commemorate that gentleman square massacre in 1900 knowing authorities of band the annual scan them

and vigil for the past 3 years. citing corona virus restrictions the china is giving up for its most important annual political gathering delegate that the national people's congress will begin meeting on sunday. plan the country's policy for the upcoming year. katrina, you has more from beijing top chinese leaders together on sunday for the 1st national people congress since the start of the pandemic. in recent years, the meeting has been postponed or shortened, but in 2023. a full program is in place and it will include an over hold of communist party leadership under president she didn't ping. lee chung will officially be confirmed as premier taking over the could child who's held the role for 10 years. a slew of top economic and political positions will also be filled, including central bank, governor, vice and state ministers, all by officials reportedly close to see the re shuffle followed the 20th communist party congress in october,

where he secured an unprecedented burton as china's supreme leader. for the 1st time in 10 years, that stage and paying is going to have his people leading all of the major organs of state power in china. so the outside of that is that we could see more efficient policy implementation of c's priorities. but the downside is that after trans party, congress has become pretty clear that stage and paying wants to continue taking china in a more ideologically controlled, more economically statist and more dramatically assertive direction. there will also be an extensive reorganization of state and party institutions giving she more control of china's financial system. last year, the growth rate of 3 percent was the slowest and half a century. a new target for gross domestic product, all g d p will be announced. economists say are relatively high, figure 6 percent may point to more aggressive pro growth policies ahead. the one

thing that the government can control is to make the decision stage such a stronger, not necessarily bigger, but certainly more competitive and stronger in order to provide enough support for growth. this is, congress comes as trying to face is increasing headwinds at home. the government is grappling with an aging population and unemployment crisis abroad. beijing is navigating and increasingly adversarial relationship with united states and sanctions on technology threaten it's access to the global market. it also full is widespread protests against these 3 years. 0 corvette policy analysts are divided over how far they damaged confidence and the president's leadership. what is clear is following this meeting, he didn't things grip on power will be more comprehensive and consolidated than ever before. katrina, you al jazeera teaching in the philippines,

the navy in case god is scrambling to contain a leak from a sunken tanka that's creating a huge oil spill. princess empress, which had engine trouble, sank on tuesday off the coast of new john. the slick stretches for 120 kilometers and his 9 kilometers on shore and threatening protect his marine areas. the thousands of fishermen in the philippines of also in order to stay a sure bobby low report from oriental min, dora it's been 5 days. says an oil tanker carrying $800000.00 leaders of industrial fuel oil or on filtered oil. sunk off the island of min doro, which is where we are right now, and that has cost and an oil spill. now on friday morning, the philippine coast guard said that there were signs that this oil spill is not as bad as previously thought. an aerial survey showed that the oil spill within the facility of where the ship had sunk, had shrunk from 6 kilometers in length to 3 kilometers. but by the end of friday,

there were more coastal towns that were reporting sightings of oil suspected to come from the oil tanker that is submerged right now. we're talking about an area that is a 100 kilometers away for where the submerged oil tacker is. and is actually away already from the island of been doro, closer to the popular tourist island of brought di. so there are fears that the oil spill could further drift into, brought di, which is a, you know, crown jewel for philippine tourism. but the main concern really here is that thousands of people live along these coast lines that have been affected by this oil spill. and we have been talking to fishermen and they've been telling us that they have no other source of livelihood, that this is what they've been accustomed to, their source of food,

their source of income. it's all in the sea, and now fishing is bad. swimming is banned and they don't know how long this is going to take. there are a number of challenges that philippines authorities are facing right now. number one, are the strong currents as well as strong winds. they're having a hard time installing booms that could contain the oil spills. but the bigger problem here is the low k. so the exact location of the sunken oil tanker the can't get to it because it's so deep, it's ah, more than the height of the i felt how're and not within the reach of technical divers. they would probably need a mechanical equipment, but which the philippines doesn't, doesn't have. so they're asking assistance from their foreign partners. why not? below al, jazeera or young? i mean darl the philippines area. and just as executive director at center for energy ecology and development, he says, the oil spill impacts marine biodiversity,

very real, was conscious while i was in a chance, but i couldn't control myself. so i just let it fly through me with an old mine. it's faith and i don't care what other people think. the tattoos are like a reminder for my teachers to always do good deeds. i mean, i like the abbot who founded the temple, became famous for his skill as a tattoo artist who was said those had been marked with his ink would be safe from attack by wild beasts. these days the tiger tattoos are still popular, but the aspirations of those, the where them a slightly different on alarm. however, we ask the person who is going to get tattooed about what kind of the fac he or she wants. in the old days, people wanted a tattoo that made them invincible. but these days many want a tattoo that will bring them luck and well. oh yeah. back outside the spirits of the beasts are taking control of the way i the professor this

the re good over a year is good to see the times that you are competitive after testing. that is what with mixed feelings, where you are, and i still don't think we're going to qualify the race and maybe the 1st to race is very different circuits. yeah, difficult. last thought of the day. i mean, everyone was really bad to get a balance, which was a bit odd because in testing, whatever we tried, okay. some things were maybe not amazing, but not that far out. so a few things to understand even to sort of s b 2 was a bit difficult, but then i think for the final run, even though not really having a good reference and confidence up until then in the car, there was not about in the show room and also the car felt a bit more connected. we've been speaking to former red bull driver, david called hard. he was in car for a motor sports show. the 13 time grown pre winter believes max for stop and has

a great chance of winning a 3rd championship title in a row. and i think that back fence broaden the 1st title, but they were brave and they made the right decision and the right time. you know, last year was a more clear cut run to the championship. is it a place where you have to be considered in terms of experience and delivery, one of the best drivers and we've got a very hungry lewis. we've got a very motivated griffith, rowdy drivers, if you're hurt russell of course, the 2nd year they learned so there's so many great drivers and probably the ones that have the potential to really deliver due to this regulation. it was already quite close. if you look at the end of the year, you said is winning appropriate friday and read well it's going to be shared to victories in many ways. ronnie has a qualifying kind of these and that just didn't have the reliability and the strategic performance during the course of the year max defended and won his title

but that's so that's how tiny cities sometimes. so you know, you use matchers because they do play your best bet to that. so that's what happened a little bit. i'm happy that i managed to to play higher than a level than him. a brooklyn gnats have completed the biggest come back when this of this and be a season and boston, they rallied from a 20 point deficit to stun the celtic re a 115 to a 105. macau bridges. start on the night scoring 38 points for the next boston. have now lost 2 of their last 3 games. losing more ground on the eastern conference leading no walk the bucks. now it's being billed as a game changing tournaments for women's cricket in india and beyond. the women's premier league is modeled on the money field, the glamour of immense i. p l. competition, and it's already broken all financial records and women's sports. probably mattel reports now's marconas, demanding the bat increase. she's been playing cricket for a decade. it's by far the most popular sport in india con says it's the best time
