on the go with me tonight. i'll just there is all new mobile app is there for you. this is where we dissects, analyze the fine with from algae. there is a mobile app available in your favorite app store. just sat for it and tapped, made a new app from al jazeera new at you think it, it ah china and said say modest targets the economic growth, but increases military spending during the opening session of parliament. ah, hello robin. you watching over there like my headquarters here in there are also coming up

a ship has reached the shock of 2 years of negotiations. nations from around the world, agree on the 1st international treaty to protect the high seas and they're all agreed to reconnect surveillance cameras. and it's nuclear sites and increase inspection. after talks with the head of the un nuclear watchdog, also, i'm the only candidate who can make this promise. i will prevent and very easily world war 3 very easily. and for me years present, donald trump gaze up for a heated republican primary race ahead of the 2024 presidential election ah button to the program. the world's 2nd to biggest economy, china per se, at a modest growth target of around 5 percent to one of the lowest in years. economic

recovery following the shocks of the corona virus pandemic was among the top of the agenda of the opening parliament session by beijing. has also announced an increase in military spending by 7.2 percent as tensions rise with western powers. especially the u. s. the thousands of delegates have converged in beijing to formalized present. she doing things unprecedented 3rd term in office and sweeping changes to his government. bounty fire at present many difficulties and challenges still confront us uncertainties in the external environment or on the rise. global inflation remains high. the foundation for stable growth domestically needs to be consolidated and insufficient demand remains a pronounced problem. cleaning if is for same beijing and joins us now. katrina, a wide ranging policy speech of what china hopes to achieve in the coming year. but realistically growth aspirations have been realized.

right, so we had a lower and expectation when it comes to a growth target 20235 percent seems that we're not going to be expecting any aggressive per growth stimulus policies. instead, china is going to focus on stabilizing its slowing economy. last year we had a more ambitious target of 5.5 percent and trying to significantly fail to hit that achieving only 3 percent and premier leak chunk. that the reason for this was the pandemic and increasingly challenging international situation. he said that the consumer spending to get hit, investment suffered, and there was a rise in unemployment as a result. and because of these, some policy measures that we're going to see rolls out of the cut over the coming months into an increase in new jobs trying to is the 12000000 new jobs. and it's coming year policies to boost domestic consumption and confidence. as well as a renewed focus on innovation and technology will technological self reliance. and

that's also related to some of the challenges ahead, but primarily could chunk mentioned during his speech. primarily what he said was an escalation in attempts my other countries to suppress china and chinese firm, no doubt, rest referring to us sanctions on chinese semiconductor and technology. of course then of me, katrina, the outgoing premier as well. so spoke against taiwan, independence may be rebuffed also by officials in ty pay, but it just also shows what china was thinking long term. oh, we should implement all parties overall policy for the new era on resolving tie. one question at here to the one china principal and the 1992 consensus and take resident steps to oppose taiwan independence and promote re unification. we should promote the peaceful development of cross strict relations and advanced the process

of china's peaceful re unification. katrina just seemed to link to the announcement about the increase in defense spending as well doesn't so ah, that's right. so we've seen an increase in china's military spending budget. also announce 7.2 percent, which will and crates to about $224000000000.00 going forward. and it seems clear that china is increasingly nervous about its security situation. about the why didn't you political situation, particularly as you've just heard in its own back yards in regards to taiwan. now, taiwan is a self ruled island is allied with united states, but they didn't consider it road chinese territory. and during the speech leakage on did say that china will prioritize peaceful unification. but we do know that president, she didn't, thing has said time and time again, but china will not who lacked the use of force in order to reunify both the mainland and taiwan. now, china is also building up its military presence and military activities in the

south china sea. and also going forward, paging remains troubled by the situation in crane. the ongoing war that increase tensions in the korean peninsula and the rearming of japan. and because of that, we've seen through speeches, well leakage on convention that china will also focus on boosting military preparedness for the people's aberration, ami, katrina you that for us in beijing. thank you. well, it's almost 2 decades of talks to you and has agreed on a historic new treaty to protect the world's oceans. nissan gentlemen. the ship has reached the shore.

that result calling it a monumental when currently just one percent of the world's international waters are protected. the vast majority of marine life is at risk of climate change. over fishing and shipping traffic, the on high seas treaty will place 30 percent of the world's oceans into protected areas by 2030 darby restrictions on fishing and shipping lanes. it also puts more money into marine conservation with the e already announcing more than $800000000.00 this week. it creates new rules and requirements for mining, etc, and the treaty will now be edited before being officially adopted at another session. let's bring in robert blossom. he's a researcher at this doco resilient center joyce. we now live from stock and good. have you with us on the program, sir? i mean have the rich northern hemisphere in the lesser south really met in the middle? i mean, there was concern that smaller states will be walked over by the likes of the e u. s. and the u. k. yeah,

this is one of the most important questions here. of course, to everyone's 1st instinct now is to celebrate because this is really, really big news. it's a great win for international collaboration and cooperation to reach after 15 years a high c treaty. this is 47 percent of the earth's surface that we're going unmanaged. no real tools for conservation and now hopefully a new paradigm for equitable use of the high speeds. where did the text land? well, we're all eager to know. no one had seen that final edited version. so it's, it's something we're all waiting very eagerly to see. but the work isn't done there, it also the treaty needs to be adopted and it needs to be implemented. and there be lots of steps along the way where there needs to be a really strong commitment to showing that there are benefits being shared, not just by the global north, but being shared equitably across the world by all nation. yeah. can i get in there

about these are equity because the 1st sharing a sort of monetary benefit says, you just alluded to this, sort of marine genetic resources. was a key sticking point in your opinion, how was that been resolved? and we haven't seen the text yet. but how do you believe that has been resolved between you might say the rich nations who can or have the resources to mine and research the see that and those that haven't well, it's one of the things that the united nations is really not set up well to do it needs to move fast on something that's a really fast moving industry. it's moving up light speed compared to the way the un works. so over the time that the treaty has been negotiated, the cost of sequencing dna has dropped from $6000.00 per base pair to less than one cent today. so that means things are moving really, really quickly. and this is one of the questions. how do you share benefits from all this genetic material, which we don't know what it actually does,

what it can be used for? what the benefits, the commercial opportunities are. so the question mark on what the value is, and we only know about 10 percent of marine life has been recorded about 90 percent . it's still left to be discovered. so that's another question mark, what's actually down there. and then the 3rd question mark is, what can we actually do with it? and that's the imagination. that's the commercialization trying to figure out how we can really use these things for better conservation, but also for human benefit. and along that process, there needs to be inclusive 80, so not just a handful of countries, which has been the case in the past, benefiting from her and by technology. if you look at patterns, for instance, if you look at just the top 10 countries who have registered patents associated with marine genetic resources, they count for 98 percent. all gene sequences for marine by just 10 countries. and about 170 countries haven't registered a single pack associated with marine genetic resources. it's an entire industry

waiting to wake up for the rest of the world. and we need to make sure that this treaty helps to be, that wake up call one day. i mean, it took decades to get this far. and yet, you know, with all the pomp and ceremony around the agreement, there was still more hurdles. again, you alluded to, this is going to take time for this treaty to be seen translated, accepted by the respective governments and analyze. and then of course ratified how long is that process going to take? because the longer you wait the, the more diluted it could become, couldn't it? yeah, that is the danger. but i'm an optimist here. and i think we really need to celebrate this moment because you know, even some of the biggest, most powerful countries in the world. sometimes they act like little children when they're in a room together and it's such a joy to see the children playing nicely together that we can still achieve big things together. i mean, this is the treaty. no one knew what's really going to land. and last night it did,

and that's a testament to really, really hard work, very dedicated individuals over an unprecedented session is find a one that went over 48 hours. so that's why i just want to celebrate them. there's sure there's hard work ahead and unclear pat there'll be speed bumps, but we've just had a really big win. and that's something to really smile and congratulate. and let's have the children to play nicely together and throw the toys out of the prime in the coming weeks for the navy. robert plastic install came thanks for joining us. now the head of the united nations nuclear watchdog has announced more inspections at around for our nuclear plant and the installation of new monitoring equipment to the facility. rafael grossi held talks with president by rice c into from the toxic ripple's in an i a e, a quarterly report late last week. the nuclear watchdog said it's inspectors had found particles, uranium in iran, in rich to near weapons grade. returning from

a visit to terran, the organizations chief said that did not mean iran was actually producing such material that has not been production or accumulation of uranium at that level, which is a very high level of cor sixties, already very high. but as i said, we have we ways and means to inspected weapons, grade uranium is enriched and 90 percent. iran said the finding of 83.7 percent at one of its sites was an unintended fluctuation. how long was other in their report, they mentioned particles. if 84 percent there is not enrichment activity level. there was no enriched uranium above 60 percent. this ambiguity has been somehow resolved. it all comes at a sensitive time with attempts to restore the joint comprehensive plan of action. the nuclear deal signed with terror on in 2015. then president trump withdrew

unilaterally from the j. c, p, a in 2018, and imposed multiple sanctions on iran. again, we want to continue relations with the a e a for the agency to be able to perform its duties regarding events, nuclear program within the framework of the comprehensive safeguards agreement. we stress the need to avoid issues that will hit our relations with the a iranian president, abraham arise, c, echo the sentiments in his meeting with the i. e. a head that warned iran writes have to be respected last week. the c, i a director william burns express concern about iran's nuclear program. we don't see evidence that they made a decision to resume that weapon as ation program. but the other dimensions of this challenge, i think, are growing at a worries and pace to tehran is always maintained. it's nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. nick talks week out

a 0. well still had here on al jazeera. it is an acceptable if you are albert by processes and decisions that are made far beyond your board of the, the you and chief sons, the global financial system, the benefits rich nations, while leaving poor countries behind us. and we go on the hunt for a desert delicacy in southern iraq to find out its importance to both tradition and the economy ah, in depth analysis of the days headlines from around the world. if i write extremely, there is real and need to be tackled as soon as possible, frank assessments, you guys failed. it's time to back a new old joline. that is why you get to get out of my little work by the informed opinion. those with, you know, dorky disappointment inside story on al jazeera,

unflinching questions is war with lawanda imminent rigorous debate. people who are dying because of lack of medical treatment. black labs don't really matter in the police will join me, mark them on hill up front. what out here in the blink of the night, many lives were lost. thousands of people buried alive and more left homeless. you were shocked by the number of sight. we were shocked by the number of victims al jazeera goes to the most afflicted region in syria. here in northwest syria to see those affected by d a. m. it's severe shortages of humanitarian aid. the full report syria, the continuing tragedy on al jazeera. oh,

a look about what you all deserve me. so robin in the hall, remind volatile stories, the worlds 2nd largest economy, china and such a modest growth target of around 5 percent. one of the lowest in years. economic recovery following the shocks of the crew of ours pandemic was the top of the agenda of the opening session of parliament. and has agreed on a historic new treaty to protect marine life amongst other things. at all. playful, 30 percent of the world's ations into protected zones by 2030 after the calling it a monumental win for me as president donald trump has laid out his pitch to conservative leaders or more, he should be the republican nominee for the white house. he spoke for 2 hours at the annual conservative political action conference in the united states. trump is

going up for a heated republican, primary res, ahead of the 2024 election. we will expel the war mongers. they are people that don't get it, although in some cases they get it, they get it for their wallets, but we can't do that. we can't let that happen. we will drive out that low balance . we will cast out the garbage. we will throw off the political class that hates our country. they actually hate our country. no walls, no borders, bad elections, no voter id. we will beat the democrats. we will route the fake news media we will expose and appropriately deal with the rhinos. we will evict joe biden from the white house. ah,

though the united nations conference on the world's least developed countries is happening in doha. it happens once every decade. so let's take a closer look at what the un defines as a least developed country. while there are currently 46, l d sees the vast majority of which are in africa. l disease have a national per capita income of around $1000.00. that is a major problem for them and they're unable to climate change and communicable diseases such as co 9 team. the list of l. d. c's is reviewed every 3 years by the un, only 6 countries have graduated from l. d. c status. in the last 30 years, the meeting in dough hall will focus on 6 key areas including eradicating poverty, enhancing trade and tackling climate change. least developed countries are being stranded, meets the rising, sty, this crises and certainty, climate scales and deep global injustice. they are unable to keep pace with

lightning speed. technological change systems are steps from elson, dedication to social protection, infrastructure, and job creation. an employment is rising, especially among young people and women are being pushed to the sidelines. that matter. miss williamson alamitos were selleger p moines. there is a common global responsibility to confront the challenges of food security, climate change, the energy crisis, and the debt chrisy job finding solutions is a collective and important responsibility among all countries. there is a moral obligation encumbered upon the rich and developed countries to contribute more to assist the least developed countries while you're up to overcome the global challenges that we are now dealing with. this is a responsibility and not a favor. one of the least developed nations as yemen. millions of people, they're facing poverty, famine, malnutrition, and insecurity. and after 8 years, the civil war, the ones as most of the population is desperately in need of aid mohammed vowels

report does have some disturbing images. said we're ways only 6 kilograms, even though she is 9 years old. she lives in yemen and is a victim of war. and nasa, donnelly, she has malnutrition. the doctor said that she must stay in the hospital for 3 months to be treated. but we could night now because we do not have the necessary expenses to buy milk in biscuits because we have nothing in atlanta like hundreds of other yemenis silva and her family live in her dish cap. it's located in the had to governor it in northern yemen, and shelters. those have been forced from their homes by conflict. but life here is stuff. families are crowded inside these tiny shelters made of sticks and stuart. what is hard to get. and there was no sanitation people are forced to search through ambush dumps to find food and anything that'll help them survive

. and that's what i mean. what am i to get? i am looking for prostate cancer cell. i have a child who does not go to school. he and i go to work like this. my husband is disabled at home. why does the eat in the morning? we will not have enough of it. if we have dinner, we will not have lunch. that'll be fled our region, and we are here. our condition is very bad and we have nothing. and that's nice. this woman says it's difficult to give to children. he has a need. i'm again banana. i don't want to go to school, we are poor. so if a child get sick, we do not find him to require treatment or any other thing. the stores of the organisations are full of much as in water containers. but we can't find containers to put water in. we suffer from both the sun and the cold, living in rags of topple. and as you can see, i used to animate she didn't, every family in this campus suffering from extreme poverty while they go out searching the anything they might come across or for

a neighbor who might have some food to share. and other camps, the organizations distribute stuff, but here they give me the food and also, you know, water containers, we have some worn out blankets, the 2 years old. ok, that's tragic was a camps like this one are spread across human. it's one of the poorest countries in the world, and the civil war has made people's lives worse the 8 years ago, who's the malicious back by your own march, from the north and to the capital santa, the government was forced into exile and an alliance of our panties launched an air bombardment campaign to restore the house to the government, but the conflict hasn't stopped. 7 it's caused the death of hundreds of thousands of civilians and forced millions to fill their homes. the united nations describes it as the world's worst humanitarian crisis. it says 2300000 children under the age

of 5. don't have enough food level and 400000 of them are suffering from severe malnutrition. mom at one i'm 0. i'm steiner is the yearns earth development program administrator. he says conflicts make development work challenging the best way out of a crisis where they'd say protracted conflict that goes on for years, or whether it is are from natural disaster, is to actually invest in early recovery and rehabilitation reconstruction. and that is why you and d p is actually deeply committed to working and continuing to work and some of the most difficult contexts we are in yemen. working in every part of yemen today, alongside our humanitarian colleagues. what we invest in is in training people in providing them with jobs and enabling them to establish for instance, access to electricity. people might be surprised that it is women run enterprises that are servicing solar power mini grades right now. this is one way in which we need to appreciate that the way out of crisis is in fact to invest in development.

in iraq as it travels can be found in some of the most remote areas. mood of the white went on the hunt. it's 7 am here in iraq, says southern city over smell, our time for our shit and his friends to scow at the vast desert looking for something green and delicious trough hills. the marches sought after delicacy is a fungal plant that usually grows under ground during the rainy season, but it doesn't usually grows $5.00 to $15.00 centimeters beneath the surface. we trace it by indicators such as telltale, grace and cracks on the soil. it's fun for us because besides making money out of it, we also end up spending good time with our families and have a picnic atmosphere every year between february and march truffle hunters, from smell. i camped out in the desert to dig out as much of it as they can.

nomadic shepherds, oh no exception. has seen alley and his family sit up there, attend around grassy fields for months. besides taking care of their sheep and camels, they also make a living by selling the desert travels. here, i'm not sure i'm not on them. we have inherited the love of tracking and collecting truffle from our ancestors. 3 years, we spend most of our life with our sheep and camels in the desert, but we wait for the trouble season every year to collect it and sell us and eat it . it's a blessing from god. this is the trouble hop in the desert. here it is piled sorted, packed and sent to the city. but since the depend on heavy rain to grow, some seasons you will see little to no truffles. the social process can be risky. there are wild animals here,

including wolves and unexploded ordnance beneath the surface can sometimes be mistaken for travel. in the cities, grocery market, traders take pride in their produce. iraq produce is to main types of travel, light, one and darker one. each piece of these can weigh between 30 and 200 grams and wine kilogram can cost up to $50.00 depending on size, taste, and quality. the costly here not only because of a lack of supply but also because of their flavor and are all my some restaurants in smell set of it as a meat substitute. this is to fossils are high in plant protein, similar to tofal and are a favourite with begins and vegetarians, but they need to be washed to properly. desert truffles have new roots. so if

they're not collected on time, they'll be food for insects. but for those who rely on these read delicacies, they provide a much needed income, even if it means having to spend long days in the iraqi desert. mt abd wide al jazeera in smaller southern iraq. that's it for, we'll be back with more news in harbor next is inside. sorry, city say with us here on amazon. ah ha. the temperatures guy you the wrong direction now across a kit part of europe over the next couple days. it should be warming up, but i'm afraid it is cooling. damn. got a big area of high pressure just around the northwest. lovely winds just talking in

behind. there. we've got a fair bit of snow coming into the eastern side of europe. tiny little wintery went wintry. down towards south east as well, but let's go back up towards the yard, the north west. even london, cassius no flurry or 2. by the time we come to wedge, they going on into we're thursday, cold enough for some sleep. i think her sitting on the eastern side of england in this is why we have got the temperatures very much on the low side. well down into single figures there, across scandinavian, just what are the blues just become a little more wide spread across scotland, and that will continue to sink its way further southwards as we go through the next few days. so we will see more the wire showers just rolling in from the north sea coast. i receive coast, maybe a share or 2 into were northern hearts of ireland, pushing into northern ireland to when fi flurry, sneaking their way down into work. germany, poland, down towards ukraine and a fair bit of rain, sleet, and snow, also affecting at care as we go one through the next day or so. spite of portugal largely dry and fine. i said the case was

a good part of north africa. ah, we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter how you take it out, 0 will bring you the news and current affairs that matter. to you, al jazeera, volleyball, glamorous industry that attracts though seeking fame and fortune. i always told myself that some day i'll do famous. oh, but for some following their dreams can become a nightmare. i had asked in the 1st bend of my mother, i had to consult as i go dressed for the los hollywood dreams on al jazeera.
