asked themselves, will it ever snow this year? because this isn't normal, they probably don't even need to be wearing this jacket right now because it's mid february and it's supposed to be cold. but it's not a fraud takes on the big issues. this is not what he's talking about, a systemic issue here. black labs don't really matter in the police. world unflinching questions is war with lawanda minute rigorous debate. people who are dying because of lack of medical treatment, challenging conventional wisdom. the fact that people are starting to get angry about this is in itself a sign of progress. join me, mark them on hill for upright. what al jazeera, ah, the us says, a russian fighter jet has collided with an american military drug over the black

sea, causing it to crash. this incident demonstrates a lack of competence in addition to being unsafe and unprofessional. ah, hello, i'm sorry, i'm no mozy in london. you're watching al jazeera also coming up on the program. focused on a police clash with supporters of enron con, outside. the former prime minister is home in the whole. at of is expected arrest malawi is saying psych on friday has killed a $190.00 people off to his in the country for a 2nd time in a month. and the u. s. shares rally off the market turmoil pose by the collapse of 2 major american banks. ah,

top story this out. the u. s. s. condemned what it's called a reckless maneuver by a russian jet that brought down one of its american surveillance drones. in the last hour, the state department has summoned the russian ambassador. the pens again says the russian fighter jet collided with the propeller of the american drone. as it was flying over the black sea to the south of ukraine, the us military, that the on man cross was over international waters and pose no threat. russia says it was detected near the crime in peninsula flying in the direction of the russian border when at last altitude and crashed into the water. was shabby county is following all these developments joined just now from washington. chad, what is the pentagon just said about this collision? it will trying to pass the power, the nuance of the various statements from the american officials we've been hearing from. and i think it's very clear from what we heard from tasks from the russians that denying any collision took place. but, but the,

the us saying that the collision did take place, it was down to incompetence of the, of the pile of but we'll get some more interesting little nuggets. just the last 20 minutes. actually, the, the pentagon says that they assess some damage did, did occur on the russian aircraft as well. however, it did a did eventually land. they won't say whether this predator drone was all and, or not, but said was on, on an i s our mission that stands for intelligence surveillance, reconnaissance. so spy, a spy drain effectively. but i think often that those are necessarily alms, but we might have to get more minute tricks. but that issue, there's some interesting questions about whether that will be video or photographic evidence of what happens depends. again, just said that they will be going through the declassification process to see what are images can potentially be be released, i suppose. so that's interesting, new new developments. and then there was an issue about the recovery of the drone,

which the u. s. claims landed crash, landed in international waters. there was a question about, was my sensitive equipment all destroyed and i'm, and have you actually got it. you know, one of the russians might be trying to get it. and the pentagon said to that, to that knowledge. but the russians do not have it actually let me read out what exactly what he said because of damage. we were in a position to have to essentially crush it into the black sea to my knowledge. at this point in time, the russians have not recovered that aircraft, but again, in terms of our recovery efforts, we don't have any updates to provide right now. i, i mean, take that as you will. but certainly throughout this incidents from the state department of national security council from the pentagon just now there is that emphasis that this perhaps was due to recklessness on the part of a russian pilot. if were to believe that it was indeed some sort of collision as well depending on just as incident, demonstrates a lack of competence in addition to being unsafe and unprofessional. u. s. air forces in europe, air forces,

africa routinely fly aircraft throughout europe over sovereign territory. and throughout international airspace in coordination with applicable host nation and international laws. in order to bolster collective european defense and security, these mission support allied partner and us national objectives. as the u. s. air forces in europe, air forces, africa commander emphasized in european command statement. quote, us and allied aircraft will continue to operate in international airspace and we call on the russians to conduct themselves professionally and safely. of course in the u. s. is reacted saying that they will summon the russian on baset over this collision shop over here is going to contribute to an existing climate of tension and hostility. do you get the sense that perhaps there is a willingness on both sides to try and manage this quite carefully so that it doesn't escalate too much? so i think the american side consistently we have hugs. we've heard even john kirby

. let me, let me, let me say, well, let me read out what he said. the national security council spoke specially. he said they had been similar intercepts by russian aircraft in recent weeks, even even so he said this episode was noteworthy because of how unsafe with unprofessional it was only it's noteworthy because if what, again this, this narrative that the u. s. has of a russian part of getting a bit too close and potentially damaging their own, their own aircraft. and that has been a consistent theme from everything over that we keep hearing. we have to put this into the context off. what is happening in the space and in areas and insensitive areas, probably around the world quite often. but, but the, but these adversary allow for say, sort of shadowing each other, sometimes buzzing each other. and certainly in an area like a black sea, which is clearly of a russian feel as their main sphere of a sphere influence. they have an enormous military presence that crime, air, and so on. this is clearly a spied drain. it would appear for from the,

from the us. then there wouldn't be a certain amount of shadowing going on. but what's different in this particular case is, is the collision. but i think, you know, we, we often see like this in the taiwan strait elsewhere. but in china, in the us, the u. s. hasn't pocket spy across all over the place and often comes into contact or at least some sort of engagement at a distance at the very least between adversary that cross collision center. but we'll wrap. yes, thank you very much. have a chance he for now reporting on his story from washington. thanks you have. so earlier we heard from pablo fog, and now he's a defense analyst and colonies for the roches paper nevaeh because the eta, he says the collision is unlikely to lead to a sharps my contention between america and russia. basically this is not very good, but it's the good news is this is not the beginning of world war 3. this is sort of dry wrong because no lot of times we were last are so b, m,

m, you 9 is not the very expensive. overly expensive drone. it's about 20 times worse costs than the american global hawk that was shot down over the persian gulf by the uranium several years ago. or russian president at him. a person says that he believes state act as a bind last year. exposure on north stream gas pipelines he dismissed as nonsense. recent reports that a pro ukraine group sabotaged the pipelines which carried russian gas to europe. but to do so, new to the dish, to whose interested theoretically the united states is interested in stopping the supply of russian energy carries to the european energy market and supplying volumes of its own. including liquefied natural gas, even if it is much more 25 to 30 percent more than russian. meanwhile,

the ukrainian government is again accusing rusher of targeting civilians reporting that one person was killed in a missile strike on the eastern city of comma tossed. a say 3 people, wolf, a wounded, and 6 residential buildings damaged in the attack. come, a tourist is just under an hour away from the frontline city of bachman, which has been almost completely destroyed by russian shelling as on my food reports. now from, from a toss. the missile attack can attack this area that is in the center o for chroma. tourist and as we can see, the shelling a had a several buildings at least 9 buildings were attacked. and by this missile attacked her this morning and people were living here sleeping here and starting their morning. some people are left already the area and other people were living in this area that caused one person killed and at

least 7 injured other. n shelly. i happened in that these big before and civilians care the city close to here to chrome authoress and donuts creegan and also other cities like echoes something you've got as being child all the time. and also we're not only here, the shutting also was a, was announced in the south of ukraine, especially in odessa while a military administration for this i said that a 4 am miss silos were at targeting get the coastal for this so they would hits bus and these are miss has caused some damage at that caused the crash damaged the is separate buildings that and one school as the mid 3 ofa. and that miss station m a minister of miss station and or, or the sub said and announced,

ah, now several people have been wounded in clashes between pakistani police and supporters of the former prime minister. and ron khan, who are blocking his arrest, the lease of fighter gas and voice, a cannon at hundreds of con supporters gathered outside his home into the hall like a sound contaminate to set on tuesday that com, that be arrested by the end of the day. the ousted prime minister is facing several charges including corruption. he says the government is trying to stop him from contesting elections. while the former prime minister among cons, spoke to al jazeera, just a short while ago, was going to the law. my. i had predictive bill till the 18th. so 4 days earlier, the police arrives. oh, what the rest warrant, which is totally illegal. so what we're doing is we're waiting for to morrow morning when we would,

we will again appear. my lawyers will appear in court and challenge this warrant to progress arrest the 80 cases against me. and let me just to let you know in the last few months, every other day, there's a fresh case. so it is a case of murder. there's a case of sedition, there's a case of blasphemy. there is a case of terrorism. so the, every other day there's a case or we have asked we are, we are, we are going to go to the supreme court and we're going to ask them to glove all the cases together. and, and just like the ex prime minister of india and the c mark are all he was given the option that it did because his life was also under threat. which miners i've, there's already been an assassination attempt on me. or we've asked that court is that glove all the cases together and held them in a secure place or glider, join me live now for me as long body getting in any information come on about how

the situation might be developing. and if enron con, is, if his arrest might be imminent or fiddle even happen tonight, whether it appears that it will take place sometime within the next few hours. the doors are the reports that we are getting a 10 standoff still continues to police. lobbying guy sharing the end to him, ron con, residential, them on fog, where hundreds of borders have gathered and pushing the police back. the government also instructed the powder military forces to also beef up the police. and the apprehension a dim ron con, it's likely to be arrested sometime tonight, got ready. and now it's an emergency committee of a leader, leader of his party, who in the case of the rest will be making the decision. but in the meantime,

people have come out and defeat david rally and other provinces being protest many have been made. and according to the latest information that we're getting prisoner runs, have been brought to the mind fog round, current resident did it on dissipation that many of the borders will be arrested as the police will vent an attempt to arrest him. and he has been accused of corruption come, of course, and wrong cons, has it, all of these charges against him are politically motivated. what has been the reaction in the country obviously has support says, but how would you describe the public reaction more widely when it has to be understood that before m. ron con woods, i stayed with the order of no confidential by a ruling alliance. i have very political parties,

have popularity was raining. however, the performance of the government call from people economic conditions to improve has instead seen spiraling inflation. and every time they come out with a case against him, ron con, it seems to have an effect on his popularity. on the contrary, according to a gallop ball, recently emerge as the most popular leader in the country. if there was to be a free and fair election, the likelihood that the body will get more than 2 thirds majority given the fact that he already won 30 out of the $37.00 by elections, which were headed off to his party to dine from parliament. so engaging reva popularity dead, the government on the other hand, also determined to bring him round hon to islam. but we are also told that the about police had been put on red alert and anticipation of

a protest guys shares. and the police officers have been told to report to the respective police station. thank you very much from it's all about come all hide reporting the death elephant tropical cycling friday in malawi, mozambique and madagascar has risen to 220 after ripping through southern africa for 2nd time in a month. allow is declared a state of emergency with a 190 people, killed thereafter. devastating floods and landslides, wild meteorological organisation is saying that it might have broken the record for the longest, lasting tropical cycling. the storm started 37 days ago in the western pacific. miss traveled woollen 8000 kilometers, gathering strength over the indian ocean. it may landfall in madagascar as a tropical cycling. from there it moved on to batter mozambique for several days. it we gained strength in the mozambie channel, then hit the country again,

down that cooler air from the north. but again, that mild push of air will calm. so zurich, big change in here, temperatures in the days to come in as far we've had high temperatures, is around senegal and bali bubble of heat here, temperatures about $4546.00 degrees and to southern africa we go, we can still trace out remnants left over as of storm friday, once again back in the mozambique channel and looks like a whites and windy day for south africa, south coast on wednesday. okay. my time's up. i'll see you in a bit. ah, in a concept hole in baghdad. away from the conflict and pales from the womb, sectarian bonham's, and sanction the iraq. he national symphony orchestra has full to perform classical and traditional arab music in the face of all adversity. ah,

al jazeera tells it's challenging story. symphony for iraq on al jazeera lou. ah, welcome back. i'll just lie from london. main stories, u. s. is condemn what it called a reckless maneuver by russian jet the brought down one of its surveillance. dr. flanagan's. as the fighter jack collided with the propeller of the drone, as it was flying over the black sea south of ukraine, russia has denied its jack came in contact with the drug, saying it crashed you to shop maneuvering. several people have been wounded in clashes between pakistani police and supporters of a film,

a prime minister in long con, or chess, iraq, to the end of a hor, off to pakistan, interior minister said con would be arrested by the end of the day. the desktop from tropical cycling friday and malawi, mozambique, and madagascar has risen to $220.00 after ripping through southern africa for 2nd time in a month, 190 of the dead are in malawi, which has declared a state of emergency now the markets in the united states, a petrov stabilized after a turbulent couple of days caused by the collapse of 2 major banks over the weekend . buying shares opened higher in the new york stock exchange on wall street invest, has been reassured by report, showing us inflation slowing. that could take some pressure off the banks as economists, but the federal reserve to suspend its repeated interest rate hikes. let's cross to gabriel. i don't know who is in new york. first of all, what is sentiment like in the market today?

boys sigh of relief is so all the major indexes, both the s and p. nasdaq and dow jones industrial average are all trading and positive territory throughout the day since the opening bell at 930 this morning here local time in new york, there's a real sense that the 2 banks did have collapsed. the damage from that has somewhat been contained and not spread to the wider banking system in the united states, as some had feared. as president biden came out and said on monday, saying, your money is secure and safe trying to add confidence to the market. and we're clearly seeing that here on tuesday, as even the smaller regional banks that saw declines in the market of 30405060 percent. in some cases, all have made up a lot of those losses from monday and made them up here on tuesday. but the medium and long term projections are a little different. moody's the analysts did and ratings

agency, downgraded the overall banking sector in the united states, from stable to negative outlook. they say they did that because of their work, the rapidly deteriorating operating environment. so you get a sense of well, there's a bit of a sigh of relief on wall street, at least on tuesday. the medium and long term outlook is a little bit more delicate. oh, such a good day. facebook's parent company mess have life and out small else they have it's not a good day for the employees will be laid off, but certainly the markets see these moves as being good for the future of meta. mark zuckerberg to ceo announcing 10000 layoffs at the company as well as 5000 open positions that they will now not to be hiring for. this comes after

mehta, which is the parent company of facebook. and what's the app? and instagram laid off 11 employees back in november of last year. the company has about $80000.00 employees or did at its peak, which was during the pandemic. that's what a lot of the tech companies hired like crazy during that period. and now they're sensing that with the market and the economy is slowing down. they're having to really roll that back and make a lot of cuts. zuckerberg indicating that this economic pool back could last several years. all right, thank you very much from new york aber elizondo. we go to greece. now judicial inquiry is under way into the countries deadly. israel is as to which killed at least $57.00 people last month. out. some of the responsibility for the crash could fall on the italian state railway scoop, which operates greece, is passenger trains. there's also a lot of anger right now. the government,

as john surplus reports from athens throughout greece, there is fury with the government by its own admission. it failed to install safety systems that could have told human operators, 2 trains were on a collision course. many of those killed were students, one of them, a colleague of santos, vanities. it's just unimaginable that on a country's my central rail route. you wouldn't have a backup system that tells you what direction to train for traveling in and whether they're going to collide. greek rail has largely relied on humans systems centered on this room inside the hellenic railways organization headquarters. this is the nerve center of the greek rail network, a central traffic coordinator since at this desk trained driver's give him their whereabouts through this vhf radio system. and he plots their progress on this

paper chart. but this completely manually operated system is not all knowing a local station master can switch tracks without telling the coordinator. that is what happened on the night of february 28th, when, according to leaked testimony, a station master's switching mistake. since the northbound passenger train, 62 up a south bound track into an oncoming freight train. killing 57 people. a veteran head of rail security says that mistake wouldn't have happened in the days when 3 people sat in this room. and as other wash head brush, there used to be an experienced train driver and an experience train inspector who sat with a traffic coordinator. they were in contact with station masters and trained drivers across the country. if any mistakes happened, they were fixed within 2 or 3 minutes. he had a new train in the way with that institution in late 2020. what is it with your line hellenic train is the hellenic railways. organization subsidiary that runs

greek passenger trains. it was sold to the italian state railways group in 2017, to cut costs. the italian management abolished route checking inspectors on trains, aubrey salmon, us. if the inspectors duties had been left intact, train $62.00 wouldn't have left the station on the wrong track. and if he had, he would have used the emergency brake. yeah. if the attending company doesn't want reinforce to say tables, they can return the shares in hellenic train under the great states can go home. hellenic train didn't respond to our requests for comment. what's clear is that the greek state failed to install 21st century safety technology, and that the italian train operator cut stuff with safety rules. 57 people died in the crash rail expert say was utterly avoidable. jobs are awful. us al jazeera atoms. ah.
