hello there i'm the attain, this is the news our live from our headquarters here and coming up in the next 60 minutes. a russian fighter jet, collides with a u. s. drawing over the black sea fronting fears of a direct confrontation between the 3 military super high kennel stand off in the hall between police and supporters of pakistan's, former prime minister in ron con, trying to prevent his arrest. thousands of people are displaced and allowing off the tropical side for in friday baptist talks of southern africa killing at least 200 people. and just how will the new u. k. bunch of help the most vulnerable deal with the high cost of living will be live in west and is full se record breaking performance from manchester city strike earling hall and the norwegian school 5 goals help secure cities place in the quarter finals of the european shopkins

ah, a brazen violation of international law. that's how the u. s. is describing the collision between one of its spy, drones and rush and fight to get over the black sea that caused it to crash. the pentagon says the fire as the jet hit the drones propeller. it says the military, them had to crash the unmanned aircraft because of the damage. the u. s. and fist, the drone was over international waters and post no threat rushes defense ministry denies that it's jets even came into contact with the aircraft. moscow says it crashed due to what it called shop maneuvering near the crime in peninsula. the incident is the 1st such direct encounter between the 2 military power since the ukraine war began. my kind of reports now from washington d. c. the us confirms the n q 9 reaper drone has been regularly deployed over the black sea, which has become an increasingly crowded air space. but a pentagon spokesperson says,

this is the 1st direct air confrontation since the russian invasion of ukraine. question you what we shall again we're, we're fighter aircraft dumping fuel in front of this you avi and then getting so close to the aircraft that it actually damaged the propeller. on the m q 9. we, we assess that it like we cause some damage to the russian aircraft as well. the russian defense ministry has a different version of events insisting the drone crashed off to maneuvering sharply. while approaching the crimean coast. the russian ambassador was summoned to the us state department, and afterwards he gave what seemed to be more a justification or you then a denial this ah wrong can carry 1700. you loss of explosives. these drone can carry. if you bulls, you see that what will be the issue of united states if you see such russian drawn

very close, for example, to san francisco or new york, what blue will be reaction of united states. the national security liaison officer at the white house echoed the pentagon in describing the russian action as reckless and unprofessional confirming the president was informed straight after the incident. the key issue say, u. s. intelligent sources, whether the russian pilots were acting unilaterally or under command. mike hannah out is era washington. i'm kind of una from moscow and speech journalist union, pavel over there. you leon laska. i see has been quite tight lipped about what happened here. yes indeed. but said many year, and we say that this is the fast direct military incidents between the united states and russia since the beginning of the russian special militia operation

ukraine. we hear some analysts here called the case of boy incident. and there are 2 types of incidents, intentional and unintentional, and as far as when to stand here, that was a deliberate action. the drone was not done by a missile, but it was intercepted and lay to sign. they think the situation around, some of that they in the u. s. can run around pop rug. i'm sorry, some anti russian rhetoric that will, once again highlight the idea that russia poses a threat to the united states and the u. s. has to keep supporting ukraine and it's confrontational with russia. and also, as it was mentioned to russia's ambassador to the u. s. had summons to the u. s. department. and he said that mosca is not looking for confrontation with washington . but he also saw that russia considered things with the american trend over the black sea at provocation, and according to him, joins flying in the black sea area, allegedly collect intelligence that ukraine can use to strike at russian military

positions there. and there are also some informal unconfirmed reports, i should say that the forces of the russian black sea, please. on a saturday for the wreckage of the reaper, the russian side says though that the depth of the sea, when things then took place is quite significant. and there is a very strong current that it won't be easy to find the wreckage that well the united states says that they are taking measures that they m p 9. reba does not fall into the hands. they also added that reconnaissance flights will continue there. so they incident took place a tuesday morning, but since then they haven't been much information from the russian ministry of defense. they wrote a telegram channel, they enter 9 reagan troy lee with the trust on this turned off and it violates the boundaries of the so called temporary space area established as you to rush, especially miniature operation in ukraine. they also said that in order to identify

the flying object, to rushing by the edge of festivals as well as is crumbled and according to the ministry as a result of shot. when you bring the emp 9, you're the wednesday into an uncontrolled flight with a loss of attitude and collided with the holes over the crime in peninsula you find it did not use on board weapons against the re, but not come into context with the u. a b and safely returned to their field on say, what they did do the holding to the american side, they allegedly dumped you on the true, trying possibly to contaminate the trends, cameras or damage. it senses always, engine, of course, will keep you updated on the development of the story. we will indeed juliet supervisor over there with the latest force from moscow. thank you, urea. well, let's not take a closer look at the u. s. drone that was involved in this incident, the m q 9 rebate can flight speeds of nearly 500 kilometers an hour and as an altitude of up to 15000 nieces. now typically,

this kind of drone is used for intelligence gathering and recognizance bonds. the am to 9 also can carry missiles, and it's an effective tool for the u. s, because it can be piloted remotely from any military base in the wild. well, let's bring in some employee is a visiting lecturer and war studies at kings college london. he is also the author of russia's road to war with ukraine. he joins us now from singapore severe. this has obviously been regarded as highly provocative action by russia. and i think that it's not the 1st such incident when it comes to meeting in the, at the 1st direct one. but there have been other incidents of this nature. what is moscow's thinking here? well, thanks very much for having me. this is a very significant events, but it's probably contain a bowl in terms of the difficulty is going to cause what is most go thinking. well the key distinction is whether this was ordered by the russian defense ministry or whether this was an accident. whether this was the initiative of the sequoia 27 russian pilots involved in the mid collision. we don't know. we may never know that

. but i think the important thing is that the russians will consider this to be very beneficial because they will be staking their claim to, to the air around the black sea and above the black sea. because the americans are using these drones to provide intelligence with whom i certainly assisting the ukranian war efforts and probably helping that night. so paul or allies like romania which are black sea little country. so i think for the russians, even if they didn't order this, they will probably be quite glad to see this drone crush into the waters show. i am interested in the intense because as we had there from julia, the russians are saying their jets is unscathed. the americans are saying that the russians did also suffer some damage. so could this then have been an accident? yeah, it's very possibly could be an accident story possible that the, the russian playing to record 27, which you know very maneuverable, very fast interceptors or bit quite old. now they may have been trying to fly pulse the drawing very close to the drawing. they may have been trying to, well,

let me see they're trying to disrupt his flight path. if the report of the don't think of the fuel is accurate, but it's possible they clipped it by accident as possible. i mean, if you were to click on purpose of the pilot, one of these pos jeff dan itself is a very dangerous, very risky maneuver to your neck ross. but as we understand, the rushing across the not destroyed, to the extent to which they were damaged, we don't know that may also be faced a thing called by the americans to say, well, you bought out our joy, you would damage director often in time. but we, again, we can't verify this shortly. submit, as you alluded to, the location obviously isn't 10 significant, but i know some analysts that already referring to this as a form of co of signaling. but given what we're hearing from the us national security council, it seems to have only hardened us policy. yeah, and one of the other fact, cuz we don't know exactly where in the black sea this was actually brought down to where this occurred. that's all. so if you think it's significant,

was it very close to the cranium coast close to the remaining coast, close to turkey, would actually know if that detail emerges, then that will be, i think, very illuminating for us. but i think ultimately it's, it's a significant event. it's a $30000000.00 plus drawing that's been brought down. it's quite humiliating for the americans and the russians even if they didn't intend to do this. well, i think be quite pleased with the outcome and quite a lot of interesting things to be found in the wreckage node out to me perri the visiting lecture and war studies at kings college london. great to talk to you on out there. thank you for joining us to man. now, police and pakistan had been attempting to arrest the former prime minister in ron, calling again for the past few days. but they've been confronted by hundreds of supporters. so currently counting outside his home in the hall to prevent his arrest, a warrant was issued against con to his, failing to turn off. in course, on monday, he was aston isley last year and is facing thousands of charges and tooting corruption, which he says are politically motivated. miss sort of this article which i think in

an attempt to avoid any clashes between my followers and the police, i made an official pledge to the team that tried to arrest me that i would appear before the court on the 18th of march. but the police refused to receive the pledge, the police official said publicly that he would receive it. this behavior is against the law. and i wrote it in a pledge that i will appear before the court to come all high. they have more from the on the bad. it's morning again, the police are backed by a paramilitary forces drive to go back into m. ron cons residents, once again, they fade. according to the latest report that we're getting, the police has now withdrawn away from that area. and therefore data than our large number of the board does your job to learn. celebrating the fact that coal fired to have prevented enron funds that day. the police, on the other hand of god,

remained determine what your day is going to be important to see whether they're stack take off regrouping and then sending and fresh guy back into action. whether this will continue to our day, whether they will be able to arrest him or not. but we've also heard that about 60 policemen have been injured as a result of their reaction throw member on vaughan, supporters of been throwing stones at the police because of the police. dear guys are shilling and also a report of live ammunition being used. so the standoff still continuing, but for the moment the situation seemed to become m. ron cons, league or dame and knocked the door of the guard yesterday. that was today in order to get to know jan. heading dan gauze have applied for suspension, cancellation of door, direct water, and in that particular case in which the police team had been sent to arrest him.

so we are expecting a decision from this lodge hi court. i've spoken to some of the legal expert who said that enron con, will be able to get dad. but the question is, before until then, what happens is the government going to be able to succeed in nesting him? or will the court give him relief? after deliberations, while still plenty more had this news hour, including the severe drought, devastating argentina's farming sector, we look at what it means for its fragile economy. 12 years since the uprising against syrian president bashar assad. we look at how the civil war has changed the lives of millions and sport morocco and hoping it will be 6th time lucky and its ambition to host the people. welcome ah

more than 225 people have now been killed in malawi in the wake of psychos. freddy, it's one of the most powerful storms to hit the southern hemisphere. devastating parts of southeastern africa after making landfill there twice. site current ready has mostly subsided now, but aid workers say the situation on the ground remains dire. tens of thousands of people have been displaced by flooding, ant landslides, but not argue long read a while ago when i was, we were told we are going to receive some help. we lived down town by the mangroves . all the houses are gone as the day before yesterday. you've had no food is amazing. my house was destroyed and we don't have a place to stay. there is no food and there is no way to build a new house because we have no money. no, only while our corresponded for me. the millet joins me now from the southern city of blan tire. for me, that's looking pretty wet there, and obviously it's a huge clean up job. can you talk us through what the priorities are right now? hey, well, at this point before they begin cleaning up,

people are still looking for people one missing in this community. in blan tire, it's been raining for 6 days. and the worst of it came on monday when psych loan for the move through this region. it continues to rain in the fall classes, at least another 10 days of damp or similar to this. and it's what it's making these risky f. it's more difficult. further behind us there's a hill where there's also an excavator that's been sent to try and move some of the debris. i'm going to move out of shock till perhaps we can get a better view of what was a road in this area that excavated to remove some of the debris, some of the mud trying to clear a path for emergency vehicles to get to this area 3 days after or the worst of the flooding. people here say that they've found at least 10 bodies. this to day alone, you'd mentioned that the government has says 225 people had been killed so far.

emergency workers and people you on the ground said they expect that number to rise in the coming days as they find people that might be buried under rubble under the might that might slight really being the worst of it. or we also know that in some other areas are outside of blan tire. people have been urged to move to high lying areas. and what they've done is taken shelter in places like trees. we understand that police, i, in some of those areas to assist. but like your people are complaining that there hasn't been enough assistance. they're frustrated. when we arrived there were a group of people tearing up body away. they say they were prepared to carry that body all the way to the hospital more, which is at least 8 kilometers from yard because there's no help. and they're just so frustrated. they're prepared to make that walk with that body in the rain. people here are becoming increasingly angry as the conditions worse than show me the miller there for us on the ground in bland ty,

thanks so much for me. we'll be following the story very closely here on out of there. now argentina, meanwhile, is enduring its hospice summer on record with fearing temperatures and the lack of rain for that damaging agriculture theresa by reports on the impact that this might have on argentine a struggling economy. so my god, the alley says he stares at the sky every day in search of signs of rain. he has lost nearly all of he saw you having cross his ear due to crippling drought conditions affecting the south american nation, who say she normally mother of a latonya. this year we needed 600 millimeters more. that's why we lost all the crops. most of us read the land which makes it difficult to pay rent, but inputs and other items we need to city and through the extreme weather conditions have also cost shortages of grass, grain and water severely impacting the cattle of many of the farmers in the area these are the argentine pam, pass the heart of argentina's, agricultural production and drought is everywhere to be seen. the drought is having

an impact all across argentina. this is a field of corner. as you can see, it's dry and it's already been lost. producers are telling us that because of the lack of water, they have started to notice different types of insect insects that they tell us they had never seen before. in this part of the country. the lack of rain is linked to the landing yet climate phenomenon. at cooling of the core tauriel pacific that cuts rainfall in parts of argentina. but this time farmer say the situation is worse than ever about this in lieu of insect of italian. there are in 6 to we didn't see before, but also people stop controlling because it wasn't worth humor. gazing as the crops were last. we see more in 6 here because they have nowhere else to eat. i ah, argentina is struggling with a 100 percent inflation rate in the past year. and a shortage of us dollars. agriculture is a crucial supply of re venue,

adding billions of dollars of foreign currency to the central bank and economy say, the severe drought will likely complicate the economic outlook of the country even further. $20000000.00 of exports, which in turn inclined a this day it is taking them export taxes. so they so some fiscal side, we're in the middle of a dollar shortage on this. can only deteriorate for laura shortage, fully more pressure on the exchange rate. so this is going to stress both bailey targets with the m f. so yeah, i mean, difficult. it is your version. the experts also believe that the political uncertainty of the upcoming presidential elections later this year could increase economic instability in the country. but right now, farmers like roman gutierrez, are just hoping for little government assistance and for rain to help him save what is left of his produce. that is, i will, i'll just see that when

a site is now the u. k. finance minister is you to unveil his spring budget in the coming hours. the economic outlook is better than a year ago, but many are still struggling with the storing cost of living. turn holler, ports from coventry where communities are watching to see if jeremy holmes budget does enough to improve their livelihood. among the world's most advanced economies, it may be, but the u. k. faces the worst economic outlook in a generation. people like jasmine almond and her husband, chris have found that to full time salaries no longer sustain a family of 4. very, that's great. the high cost of living, especially childcare, means that jasmine was earning enough to pay the nursery fees. it worked out less expensive to give up her job as a teacher and care for daughter carina herself. is i a wife and a mother? and i have to do the right thing for our household. i am just

going week to week. we survive like that and it's just life nowadays. on wednesday, britton's finance minister jeremy hunt will deliver his 1st spring budget since taking the job last autumn. child care will feature but must take its place in a long queue. public sector workers on strike, again, even as the budget he's announced in an economy left, really by kobe briggs and the war in ukraine. i think $11.00 area where there will be cut off a lot of focus particular has decisions is around public sector pay. and you know, it's kind of low pressure and that with, with strikes we're seeing rising vacancies in the public sector. that scenario we will see quite a lot of pressure and it's not just families looking for help, but whole communities in towns and cities across the country where political

promises to level up in the qualities of not been met. and slow growth has led to calls by business leaders for a clear strategy to attract investment. take coventry, for instance, here in the west midlands, once a center of manufacturing so important to britain's economy, that hitler's air force took great care to bomb it into oblivion. coventry's damaged cathedral is testament to those bleak times. but at the heart of the d industrialized midlands, it's a hollowed out place. even now, jeremy hunt will announce funding for new low tax investment zones to try and spur business and growth in areas like this, such as the scale of the task that his budget will offer. no quick fix. joe, the whole al jazeera, coventry hall at the big house for senate. he is in westminster for us, harry, a hugely tricky time for united government and the loss of discontent is we've been hearing that to navigate with this budget. that's right. i mean,

you heard about the general issues, the cost of living and wage wages decreasing in real terms. there's also discontent from all sorts of public sectors. tens of thousands of people are out on strike, this very day, from teachers to junior doctors, to civil servants, and indeed, underground workers as well. what we do know from the budget already is that the government's assistance for energy bills that has kept a regular average household bill about $3600.00 us dollars a month. that is going to be extended for another 3 months. is that a projection that energy prices will start to come down? but jeremy is really trying to sell this, this budget as a back to work agenda. and so he's going to announce we had told a $4850000000.00 plan to extend the systems for child care for young families to

children aged $1.00 and $2.00, trying to get young parents back into the workforce. also increasing by nearly doubling the amount that people can put in the pension parts tax free. that's an effort to try and get those 50 plus who become so called economically inactive in recent months and years back into the workforce as well. the borrowing that the government has been projected to be undertaking has been reduced by about 30000000000 pounds. that though is unlikely to release any major money for tax cuts or anything like that. the corporation tax rise from 1900 percent to 25 percent. still set to go ahead, as john was reporting that the government is going to try and give some sockets of business as well, with those tax free investment zones and also some tax rebates on longer term business investment as well. but the real test is whether this budget will help get growth going again, it was higher than expected at point 3 percent in injury,

but over 10 years it's been really anemic. so that would be one of the key tests. also, the office of budget responsibility is going to give its own full cost straight off of the budget, so it will give its verdict on what's likely to be the effect. and then we'll be watching that very closely here on out there for now. thanks very much, sorry for that. there for us in westminster. hostile ahead here on out as air. flood sick who was by torrential rains, had 2 provinces and to kia, ready, devastated by last month. that this executive order helps keep firearms out of dangerous hands. you as president barton, announces a tightening of background checks with people buying gun and, and for the was number one tennis play is closing in on yet another title and you will be here. it is with

hello, we've got so much milder air pushing into western parts if you pay for the next couple of days in the form of cloud and rain that'll sweep in from the atlantic, bringing some wet and windy weather in the process ahead of that narrow blood pressure just around central parts of the medice riding through the i do attic that's also producing some very unsettled weather. was see some wet weather there. right the way across the balkans into great southern parts of it. lynne stretches right up across sir. western positive ukraine into that western side of russia. mix of sleet and snow coming in on this particular system. a little bit of snow there into central airs, if you little bit of snow to into scoffing to northwest england for time during wednesday. the weather weather that started to push it. swaying winds coming in from a southwesterly direction to just watch how the temperatures rise london at night celsius 08 degrees celsius. we went to double figures as we go on into thursday. the cloud had the re making its way across ireland. more than ireland had rest of the u. k. whether continuing down towards that southeast corner,

they will so wet again across a good part of but care. see that wet weather making its way over towards the black sea. not too much. what, whether on the forecast cross northern parts of africa. lodge dry hebberd temperatures on the rise with some showers across the gulf of guinea. aah! iraq. a nation riddled with land mikes and an expert dedicated to defusing them, one by one. equipped with only a knife and a pair of wire puppies, he faces death every day. but does his work make him a hero or a target? witness? the d minor on a jazeera holding the powerful to account.

as we examine the u. s. his role in the world on al jazeera, it's been 20 years since the united states led invasion of iraq, which overthrew president saddam hussein a widely controversial military operation that kills hundreds of thousands of iraqis and displaced 1000000 small conflict is consequences are still being held today. the rock pool, 20 years on, on al jazeera o a holiday watching alger 0. i'm just here and that's remind you about top stories. the usaa condemned what it calls a reckless maneuver by a russian fighter jets brought down one of the surveillance drones of the black sea

. russia deny is that it's just came into contact with the cross police and the whole once again trying to arrest pullman pockets. tony prime minister monkey, it follows a stand off for the night between police and supporters near his home. we've been trying to prevent his death toll from tropical pipelines. freddy and malawi was in big madagascar has risen to 220 a storm hit southern africa for a 2nd time in a month last weekend. while meanwhile, full cost is also warning of more rain and catastrophic floods in parts of california, which is already been hit by series of storms. more than 30 counties are currently under a state or emergency. cruise near the flooded town of puddle or trying to pass damaged flood defenses on a flowing river. there, as how does your castro reports? the lovey breach on the puddle river is widening growing to more than 120 meters since friday. that's ominous for the town of pyro downstream. as more storms bear

down on the farming community this week, pedros 1700 residents were told to evacuate. during a brief moment of sunshine on tuesday, families looked across the river toward their empty homes, blocked by a bridge. now only accessible to emergency workers, how's your house pass off or we don't know we're not allowed to go in or anything like that. but it's, it's actually pretty frustrating. not knowing the county of monterey has performed more than 170 high water rescues as a result of this flood, using utility vehicles, army vehicles, to rescue people who are stranded within their homes or their vehicles. but not every one has agreed to leave. the struggle is like them finding food and not being able to cross the bridge to go get their food. that's what worries i'm the most on . some people don't even have where to go too many also have nowhere to work. this

region calls itself the salad bowl of the world, producing fruits and vegetables by immigrant farm workers. now they face much of the suffering if no one on or with the la corston, there's no work. i can't pay the rent. i have a family of 4 to support them. underneath the storms are the result of atmospheric rivers, long currents of moisture in the air that cause rain and snow fall. california has experienced no less than 10, such once rare phenomena. since january, an impact of climate change and a probable trend into the future id, jo castro, al jazeera puddle, california, often flooding and california to flooding into k y. at least 5 people have been killed after flash floods, hit the se in region heavy rain since tuesday night. inundated the city of shania fun, adiana schools and chinese. i will say closed on wednesday. the flooding happened as the region is still recovering from last month. devastating earthquakes,

let's be to wrestle said he's following developments for us from a stumble, wrestle, it really seems as just never spice while it's a huge flawed there. so like the earthquake that he, it's more than one city. now the philosophy is affecting at least 3 cities that are some other cities also being affected, but particularly shonda of yemen and malaria are very much, yeah, hit hard by the, by the blog there. so for people in chandler fod already confirmed that and 42 a did that the mayor of the city to people are still missing. and in the city or by the amman, which is the neighbor off off, shall newer for one person is, is dead confirmed dad. and the mayor of the city, i was just talking to him before the live and he said that at least there are 10 people that are missing. and the that the rescue teams are searching, trying to, to find that people. but the fear is that probably they will not be able to save

them because there is no science from that people. and so here the disaster management there authority in turkey, a scene that since yesterday, the area that they received, 111000000 bits of rain 1st square meter, which is quite which is quite huge here. and as a result menu of the rules are blog. and that, and that, that, that, that, that, that house facilities are also damaged by dad. so, these region was, he'd hon. bye to port lord griswold. but a month ago and as a result of tens of thousands of people died. and more than $100000.00 as were be cut became inhabitable now this disaster is just come in after that. one of the most important fact of this blog in the region is the impact or the tanf city is offered the ord. griggs, hands, or thousands of people have been piquant to the pants to these that has been spread there, cause the city now the reports are coming from the cities that bet perfect supersport

to give the ones in milan. yeah, i mean, in the amman thought also know under the water and people are being created for them, just answer dissolve. ebert is not clear where his people are going to be taken true. crisis upon a crisis wrestle sat at their across that forest from istanbul. thank you. wrestle now is really forces arrested at least $22.00 palestinians and overnight raids, they targeted towns across the occupied west bank, including nobliss and jeanine sites of recent violent raids according to palestinian media. one of those arrested is a child. the palestinian prisoners society says wouldn't $1300.00 palestinians have been detained so far this year. i'll meanwhile, israeli settlers of chop down dozens of olive trees near palestinian village in the occupied westbank. local officials say on wednesday that they have found some a 170 trees, some 80 years old that have been damaged. the art of harvest is one of the most important sources of income in the occupied west bank. but many palestinian farmers

can't access their lands because of sceptre attacks. well, it's now been 12 years since peaceful protests began in syria. calling for the removal of president bashar al asset. the uprising turned into a civil war and a proxy war involving regional palace. hundreds of thousands of people have been killed and millions remain displaced. at present, shall our sad remains and power hassam al, by reports on the revolution. now, 12 years on it never occur to a man and hassan that a small demonstration in the old court of damascus. 12 years ago would change his country and his destiny. thousands of protesters demanded political reforms, but when security forces opened fire on civilians in that i, in the southwest, the peaceful outcry took a violent turn. those memories are still vivid for a man and his family who are always on the move,

seeking shelter from governments shouting and asked why it's by russian plains, nana sharp nan alumni. from that he'd that, that year we are the ones who pay the price displacement shelling at to this the earthquake and we are helpless. and we suffer sharpening only by the front of them across towns and villages under rebel control. in north western syria, people face a tough reality. president bashar al, as that remains in power backed by iran and russia. he is now hoping to reconcile with the countries that one's sought to topple him. i am at hela, was 14 when the uprising started. his survived battle bombs, ass rights and earthquakes. he says, acceptance of the asset regime is a betrayal of the people who died in the uprising. will actually this idea of the cancellation with the said the redeem is ridiculous and is a completely rejected by the people here in north where celia there sat there,

jim and it's a lie, russia and the, and on have in killing those people for over 11 or 12 years, how can we are council with, with him to choose grow kurt by russia to a key in bosh 2020 still holds. but rebel forces led by the powerful group a at the higher the sham remain defiant. but will not be the only milford in our mass, is that the us got athena. we have restructured and reorganized our forces welcomed . they'll modernize better equipped. we've also consolidated our defense lines. and if our enemies decides across those lines, they will pay a hefty price. and look on for now, the conflict seems endless. the international community has accused a set of laid siege to towns starving people and using chemical weapons. but at the same time, it's never fully trust of the rebels. hudson, i'll die joins me now on said he's up the cover the story very extensively. hashem,

you say there that the rebels are hanging on by a thread, but they are still hanging on. and do you have a sense of when or if this might end? if you just compare to what happened 12 years ago, oh hoppers, now you get a sense of how the rebels have lost a great deal in terms of controlling syria, marsh. 2011. it was the peak of the olive spring. the most unprecedented movement calling for political reforms, but in gulf the of welt, in syria, for the rebels. it was the moment to bring about genuine political reforms. or he was in april, in a place called that i, in the southwest of the country when a government for so decided to open fire the civilians. that was a decisive movement moment because the, the uprising started peaceful, but then degenerated into the most violent uprising in the up world, causing lies for hundreds of thousands of people. the rebels started to make

significant gains, the, the, the could toward many, many areas in the south in the east and the west, and in to $1015.00 with the brush and help the government managed to overcome a to reverse, most of those mitigates. now the rebels have only one place which is the province of edlin. now as they are concerned, the reason why they are concerned because they see the arab world and you politic a reliant, a reconciliation with the shuttle. i said, and the fear this could be the beginning of the end for the entire journey, thus thought the 12 years ago. so everything is really hanging in the balance here . i want to ask you how many you went to syria yourself for the 1st time, i believe in 2007, and back then bashar al assad was empower. he still in power at what's changed. he is in power behave bowes over a city. the has been, our country has been shattered by the civil war. i mean there was hoping to 1012 of the opposition along with the shuttle as that could bring about

a reconciliation. or that could be the way to a new government with bigger say that didn't work, that it did generated into a sectarian divide, either white versus sunday, and it was very bloody. then you had regional influence turkey in one hand, iran or the other hand gulf countries on the other that didn't help it destabilized the whole country. now what could be next, but shuttle as that is though in control, but he faces massive challenges. he needs to, to be seen as the legitimate leader, internationally. what she does is okay because he's facing more isolation, the opposition does understand now that that is absolutely no way that can go back to 2011. that's over. there's absolutely no way that can get the same consensus that we're looking for in 2011. they would have to reconcile or to settle with minor, minor political against. but to have that happen, this is why people not looking forward to see what happens in the reconciliation

between iran and saudi arabia. iran is the protest of sunday is la, shy lamb iraq. saudi arabia is a protector of san islam. if they come together by extension, it means that you will see diffusion of tension in betty places. one of these bases syria, in particular, could it be conducive to a political settlement. we'll have to wait and see attentively at stella readily, hence some way as off at marlboro. thanks so much for joining karen fat while that's now being in a rush and azure in she is the arab reason. director of the angio actually international. she joins us now. and a man and jordan, a russia, let me start by asking you about the humanitarian picture. right now we're talking millions that we've been hearing, still displaced, city is in rennes. what's changed? mean, unfortunately, the situation in india specifically, i mean it just keeps getting worse. was this reason they got 5000000 people requiring basic shelter and even before their way around

16000000 people in theory i need to so this is just another level of complexity, the situation now on the ground. i mean, if you're remains the same as one way kitchen, then you need more huge need for production for food items. but also there isn't it? as was the think about that immediate recovery and how to continue like providing for, for the community. so the situation is really, is really bad or not the comment that that's not a continue to provide for this area. but this is, is a huge i'm here just maybe some, some numbers. so the human day in or for the or yeah. in the past year 2022 does one of the largest one they got was on the funded for 49 percent so far for

this human in this one on the for the year it is 41000000001 good for like 2 percent off the now i'm just getting tired, of course a rush of the in the aftermath of the earthquakes, we are now seeing a get to places that and potentially hasn't reached a very long time. is this then potentially a moment of optimism? sorry, i didn't get to a question that we are now seeing aid reach parts of syria, which hasn't received aid in a long time. is this a moment to be optimistic? yeah, i think i think i wouldn't say here. it's not about being optimistic. i think it is a unitary, an urgency that, that meant that there should be some solution for the axis of 8. and this is where we go, the opening up to other borders. so now we have 3 borders opened up this point, i think to 600 us a, went into the

a. yeah. but as i said this is hi of course we need to continue revising and we continue to sign the 8th. and of course, i think also that the card that opened down to you, i think we need more longer term solutions or the sure rush. i know you at auction aid in particular, i've been doing a lot of work focused on women and girls, and i was looking at some of the numbers. they're incredibly striking suicides. what tripled last year, the sharpest increase with young girls, what's driving that think usually woman goes are the more you're crisis. i mean the crisis some of the way and also because also in and not where they've already m tom so. so the issue that shows the perfection of

a woman and he always rising and that, and usually their needs and emergencies are very that sometimes are, are a bit missed from that immediate, immediate response. so for example, drive one of the issues with women and goods that takes bases of privacy, access to services. for example, we have tens of thousands of pregnant women now have limited access to had services . so that's one example of women and younger face. and at times like rationality and there are abrasion, director of the action aid and national being to us from amman. thank you so much for joining us out there. and good luck with your question. thank you. on the horn of africa is facing it's the longest and most severe drought and 40 years. the unprecedented failure of 5 consecutive rainy seasons is pushing millions to the

brink of starvation. thousands of somali refugees of all fled to northern kenya. has katherine sway reports now from the dub this is a face or 3 generations of a refugee family in kenya's, the dark camps was sued up the 100 flat, a civil war in somalia in 1991. he has been here since his children was born in the camp. they now have children of their own. and none of them has ever left the confines of this settlement. hi, let me talk to. yeah, i started 3. yeah. and your i respect, kenya, my kids were born canyon, but they are not accepted here. and there are a lot of stereotypes about being somali here. yeah, the only future i see for my children is if somalia gets peace, then they can go back to somalia and make their own life or of obama just offer there is a plan to change the set up of the refugee camps to make them more like an integrated

settlement where refugees who live here can have better access to government services. their movement outside the camps will still be restricted. oh, that would help. oh, ensure that refugees do have access to the existing national public services. and for the same time, ah, but we also have the 2 communities are to leave side by side with one another peacefully and um and, and, and watch, ah, towards contributing to the national economic development. hello. the refugees in the dub and the local community have been trading alongside each other for many years. but the area is overpopulated and the resources are stretched. this is a live stock market. somali refugees and canyons frayed here. they have quite

existed peacefully for men. yes. but increasing the hard to sell the animals cheaply because of over supply. ali hassan abdi a canyon hardest says, the demand of his donkeys is low and the profit is not as it was before. that's good. the middle, the lights took prices of gone down because the refugees are also coming with their own animals. we're worried that the more people arrive, the more difficult it will be especially, and if the draught continues back at the comp morris, you jeez, arrive, they've brought whatever they can. but with limited resources, it will be a struggle as a displaced and a host community. try to make things walk. katherine saw you all 0 the dub in northeast and kenya. now you as president joe biden has issued an executive order, tightening background checks on firearms. it's aimed at reducing the number of

master things by made the announcement in los angeles suburb that was the scene of a gun attack just 2 months ago. john hendern reports from monterey park in california in a town still mourning a recent mass shooting president joe biden offered what little he could for new gun control. the president issued an executive order he can enact alone with limited affect her name. time are executive or direct my attorney general take every lawful action possible possible to move us as close as we can to universal background checks without new legislation. the action orders the department of justice to crack down on gun sellers who failed to perform background checks and to pursue former weapons dealers whose licenses have been revoked but still sell. it asks the federal trade commission to issue a report on gun makers marketing to miners, and it asks his administration to find ways to treat mass, shooting scenes like natural disasters and giving federal aid to those affected

because our arkansas and the culture of our community. we have been very quiet and we have been kind of neglected. so for us to receive this amount of attention and the support that we do to day means a lot fraud. but major changes in us firearm laws require action from a hopelessly deadlocked congress with nearly all republicans opposing stricter gun measure. it was here in january at the now closed star dance hall and monterey park that 72 year old, who con tron shot, 20 people killing 11 in this asian american community. tron was disarmed at his 2nd dance hall and fatally shot himself as police closed in trans access to a mac, 10 semi automatic weapon allowed him to kill here with speed and efficiency. last year, congress did pass the 1st modest gun restrictions in 3 decades. among other things, they enhanced background checks for 18 to 21 year olds,

but they've done little to slow the pace of mass shootings in america. in the past several months, there have been dozens of other mass shootings, killing 20 wanted a school. and you have all the texas 10 black new yorkers and a racially motivated shooting spree at a supermarket in buffalo and 7 at a parade in highland park, illinois. paying tribute to the victims of monterey park bite and renewed calls from major new gun controls, including a ban on military style assault weapons. universal background checks and repeal of the immunity for most lawsuits that congress gave to gun makers in 2005. so let's finish the jar, ban, assault weapons ban them again. new and now i'm not do something do something big. but with little hope of congress approving any of those measures, nothing that comes out of washington is likely to prevent mass shootings like the one that happened here. john henderson, al jazeera, monterey park, california. well, it is now time for sport and his andy,

thank you so much. the stars he will, early holland is put in a record breaking performance for manchester city. his good 5 goals are city beat arby leipzig in the last 16 of the champions league. holland has now become the clubs highest ever scorer in a single season. santa hamish triples earling. highland may not have finished this game on the pit. but the manchester city strike made sure he was back on the field at the final whistle to collect the bull. he just put into our b like 6 net. do you 5 times even when i say so, the numbers of this is on the problem with these guys. every time william's court, your 3 goes, will be criticized for the next of his career. this is the reality. what yeah was how many times is a joy guy? and his more in the locker room, always have, you know, it's earling holland. from manchester city. helen's happiness started. it's upward curve in the 1st half of this champions league tie. just we didn't know we jin was

on his way to becoming the youngest player to reach 30 goals in europe's top club competition. the big man just got the presence of mind. his recalled breaking effort began with a hat trick before half time to the matter. that times in recent weeks, helen has faced criticism for a lack of involvement in certain games. ah maris but the 22 year old already has $39.00 goals this season. he's the 1st city player to hit that number in a single campaign. ah, just the cities the season with his team heading towards of 7 nil when and a place in the quarter finals hadn't was taken off. so he could rest his legs for

even big against to come on, especially some respite for leipzig, coach at marco rosa, who managed to holland at bruce your document last season. he scored goals with the full t school score goes with a hat, a he one second boss, she mattie bronson her. so it looked a really simple to night and i think he took the ball from the referee. it means it was a special night, probably nurse that talent next target will be to lead city to the 1st champions league title found her most all dizzier for the product. well the goal is jordan poach goes enough in some alonza edge passport, so and she stays over 16. so i just held on 111th from the 1st flag runs many sir amy hit, the post am cross for an injury time for poor all through the state

for the 1st time. when footballs. tough decision makers are in rwanda for the annual meeting of the schools. will governing body fif? it's been decided that the next will cut will include a record 104 match shoes and will last any 6 weeks. the 2026 tournament is taking place across 3 countries at the usa, canada, and mexico. america has also made a big announcement in kigali. the north african nation is joining up with spain and portugal in a 3 country bid for the 2030 world cup rocco is previously failed in fire pits the host the tournament, argentina. she lay paraguay in europe. why have also submitted a joint plan to host the event? the 2030 hosts are set to be named next year on castle america became the 1st african seem to reach the world cup semi finals. we've been talking to sports. right. so benjamin haji, about whether or not morocco is now ready to become the 2nd african country. so host the events. i think it starts with the passion for the game in market. they

try to the 2026th row compared they made a survey national survey morocco where they found out that nationally 80 percent of the people are football fans, including women and children. and the 98 percent of the people were favor of broke up in morocco. so i think it started there with the passion of the people and the interest in football. and then you have the majesty of the king and the sports ministry making huge investments. and i think, you know, they've realized that the global view of morocco and the reception that morocco gets globally, it's quarterly to football, you know. and they know that moroccan success in football, but also how the reputation of novel worldwide this has been a long term project in the long ambition of morocco. you know, we'll see in the holes the african nations championship. recently for local players, they hold the women separate, the nation, women champions league levels,

the youth tournament in africa, and now the club both for a 3rd time as well. my goal is to show the phone and show the world that they are ready. the people, which is the ultimate targets, and i think we do have infrastructure, we have the passion among the fans that we have willing enough to to do it. so we are hopefully one day the world can come together and enjoy the morocco. typical girl that's worth al tennis wellborn acres thrown sec is looking good in her efforts when a 2nd straight indian wells title be polish player, beating britain's m. i wrote a corner here in straight sets, 6361 in california. it is to wait till 10 the place to remain as you want to stay in the last day or incredible effort from canada's felix earlier sim in the mens drawer he said 6 months against american swimming pool before mentally made it
