5:02 pm
a wall street. ah, we begin in malawi, where tropical cyclone freddy, has killed at least 225 people and displaced thousands. it's one of the most powerful storms to hit the southern hemisphere. devastating parts of south east and africa after making land for that. twice cycling ready has mostly subsided now, but aid workers say the situation on the ground is still dire. tens of thousands have been displaced by flooding and landslides for me to miller reports now from bland tire to go. there are many people in this area alone who are missing, and i'm going to start by sipping out of chart to give you a better idea of what's going on. a just behind me a group of min, digging in what is at least 3 or 4 meters deep mud for possibly bodies. they just don't have any option. they say no help is comes the worst of the
5:03 pm
psych clone and the flooding much slides heavy when all that took place on monday. and people have been missing for 3 days now. and the people here say it's been up to them to look for those who are missing. they haven't been any rescue teams in this area. they say for a short time on monday police were here, but they couldn't get through the very deep mud where they are now. that was a village. they would thousands of homes. it's now 2 boulders, a mud, and only slightly higher on the high ground just behind them. all homes that have survived at least to some extent, though that flooding in those mud slides. but all those homes of damaged people haven't been able to stay in their homes. we've seen people try and recover whatever they can. and at the same time looking for those who are missing, some people have relocated to a school on higher ground. and that's the best they can do at this point, what it is, just a game of wait and see,
5:04 pm
especially as they wait for some sort of response from the government. and that's the biggest complaint, little has been done to assist them. the government has said, at least 550 people are missing across the region including was in beacon below we at least half a 1000000 people have been affected and the 10s of thousands displaced. this is really the difficulty that governments in this region are facing the ongoing rain here alone. it's rained for 6 days already. it's full cost that that will continue for at least another $10.00 days. and it seems and the ability to access some of these areas and a lack of capacity when it comes to rescue efforts while from floods in malawi to floods, into king as people try to rebuild their lives in the wake of last month's devastating earthquakes, at least 5 people have been killed and flash floods which hit the country south eastern region. heavy rain since tuesday night. inundated the cities of shun the
5:05 pm
fun, adiana. schools and shandy were also closed on wednesday. they have been a number of rescue operations carried out across the city. russell said i was following developments for us from a stumble. like the earthquake that's it's more than one city now. the philadelphia is affected at least to the cities that are some other cities also being affected, but particularly shonda alpha of yemen and malaria are very much, yeah, he thought by did, by the full on there. so for people in shangdorf already confirmed that and 42 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, off, shall newer for one person is, is dead confirmed dad. and the meal 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
5:06 pm
them because there is no sign from that people. and so here the disaster management authority in tricky a seen that since yesterday, the area that they received, $111000000.00 bits of rain per square meter, which is quite which is quite huge here to pakistan. now when a court has ordered police to hope the arrest fulman prime minister, among con until thursday, there been 10 scenes, nia collins, house between the supporters and the offices who are trying to arrest. and he's facing dozens of charges and getting corruption, which he says up in taking my survey said, come on high to has more now on the, on the bad ron cons, fardy had gone to court saying that heavy handed tactics were being used against the residents of m. ron conrad, the support as a guide dead and a quarter started heading into the urgent partition that was filed
5:07 pm
by the bugger dante, he can solve. i did and ordered that the police should not gary out any further operations on 15, d m. d on 3rd day. now also important to note that for the last 24 hours, the police and supporters of enron con, have been scuffling, basically scuffled, and broke out after the police tried to address them earlier yesterday by their supporter then responded to police. dear guy, thing with rock drawing and data of gods exacerbated the situation, but political tensions are very high indeed. no one knows what is going to happen within the next few days. and although the government is determined to address them, ron con, they have not been able to do shore, despite their best efforts, i haven't called in de paramilitary forces and red sho, indeed, high drama being played out, i in pakistan. and of course, as a result,
5:08 pm
there been protest in other parts of the country last night at red. now, a brazen violation of international law, that's how the u. s. is describing the collision between one of its spider and an a russian fighter jet. the black sea that then caused it to crush. the pentagon says the fight it hit the drones propeller because the military then had to crash the unmanned aircraft because of the damage. the u. s. insists the drone with the international waters and post no threat. the kremlin low says relations with the u . s. and our lamentable states. the defense ministry denies that it's just came into contact with the aircraft. moscow says it's simply 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 you can, will began well let's get the latest u. s. reaction to the incident with our white house correspondent. kimberly, how can i can be 3 was saying earlier, john kirby has been doing the morning around yeah,
5:09 pm
the yeah. spokesperson for the national security council. john kirby speaking to the american public, but also to the broader global audience talking about what was conveyed by the united states to the russian ambassador to the united states as he was summoned on tuesday. and it was a very, very strong message, essentially, following that incident in the united states defended it's mission to saying that there in us national security interest, interest that they are perfectly legal over international waters. and that they will continue doing so. and that russia needs to be more careful in the eyes of the united states. with regard to the recovery of that m q 9 to rail and strong. according to john kirby, it may never be recovered. that's because it's at the bottom of the black sea. and because of the japs, it's likely to not be retrieved, but i,
5:10 pm
in terms of how this is being received in the united states when it comes to president joe biden's opposition. republicans, well, some of them are not seeing this very well. in fact, to of the governor of florida republican rhonda santas is using this as an example . he says, of why the united states should not be involved in what he sees is a regional dispute between ukraine and russia and is using this is an example of why the united states should get out in the disentangle itself. but there are others on capitol hill like senior republican senator lindsey graham that are saying, just the opposite. this is exactly what vladimir putin, watts and the fact that the united states should go even harder. the next time something like this happens that the united states should shoot a russian plane down. should this sort of collision type incident happen again. so
5:11 pm
the bottom line at all is this is that the u. s. president joe biden has been very clear that when it comes to the defense of ukraine is sovereignty. the united states will be with ukraine for as long as it takes our white house correspondent, kimberly hancock there with the u. s. perspective. thanks so much. kimberly. well, julia, shop of alova is a john las based in moscow, and she has more on rushes reaction to this incident. masika is not looking for confrontation with washington. those are the was of the russian on box that the us . but he went on saying that russia considered the incident with the american troy and over the black, the cation, the ambassador, also the train, flying and dislikes to area, allegedly collect intelligence that key, and then uses the type of russian military positions. there are also some important reports right now that the forces of the russian blocks, the keys of full steam ahead searching for the right page of the reed. but while
5:12 pm
the united states said that recall life will continue to that, that haven't been much information on the russian drug defense on the she was in the telegraph channel, but the united re patrol lee with the trunk pulled his hand off and it did violate the boundaries of the area of the so called temporary s based climate stablish key to russian special ed shock ration in ukraine. and they also said that in order to identify the flying object to russia, to find the trend of the ed depends urgently crumbled that according to the defense ministry of the result of shot. when you bring up united you, i'd be went into an uncontrolled flight. the local shoot and collided with the voice of the black sea somewhere over the crime in putting you that russian find it did not use own board weapon did not come into context. would be a month aerial vehicle. american,
5:13 pm
you could safely returned to that home as i'm case now, the british government says it will provide struggling families with a $115000000000.00 in cost of living supports lithia during his budget announcement finance lesson, jeremy hunt said inflation was at the root of the recent strikes, he says inflation rates were for from almost 11 percent under 3 percent this year until parliament, the british economy is now on the writers, measures to unlock productive in the u. k. will not now enter a technical recession this year, her. oh, they fall curse, we will meet the prime minister's priorities to harv, inflation reduced that and get the economy growing. we are following the plan and the plan is working well, it's been to high forces,
5:14 pm
he's outside parliament and westminster for us. harry, plenty of optimism, laughed the chance, landon many others charity well, certainly the protest her out here who is constantly ridiculing the government musically and otherwise won't be sharing it. and i guess a lot of people looking at these figures, they won't exactly be celebrating the fact that the united kingdom won't be going into a technical recession this year. given that cost of living costs are still so high that inflation remain so high. the recession issue is one that if a economy shrinks for $22.00 consecutive quarters, it's in technical recession, economy is still going to shrink by 0.2 percent. according to these forecasts, no matter that it won't be in official recession, unemployment also set to rise inflation though, going down to 2.9 percent under this projection. that would be a major shift. i think in most people's pay packets,
5:15 pm
given that wages have been lagging behind, inflation for so long. the chancel that the finance minister was also talking about continuing the government's energy, few price assistance for families that that will continue until the end of july. so that will limit the average household bill per year to about $3600.00 us dollars . he's also trying to sell this as a back to work budget. and so to do that, he's enlarging the amount of assistance giving to families for child care, hugely for now, it says 3 and 4 year olds. that gets me a free child care that's going to be enlarged to every child from 9 months old. upwards for those families that qualify with 2 parents in work. now that still gonna happen immediately. that full measure only comes in in late 2025. but it's a major intervention is also totally abolished the top rates of a pension pot after which it starts to attract tax. so no pension funds that people
5:16 pm
are mastering the course of their careers will be taxed. that is something that it's designed to get those over 50 back into work because there is concern about the amount of economic inactivity there is among a lot of workers in the u. k. as for the, the, the opposition lead a kissed on the head of the labor party. he said that this was managed decline that it was leaving britain behind its competitors. that the economy required major surgery. and that the chancellor was leaving the u. k. economy in the waiting room, just with a sticking plaster hiring for a center outside westminster watching that but announcement for a thanks so much high. well, stella had he and he on out of the 12 years since the uprising against syrian president bush allison, we look at how the civil war changed the life. ah
5:17 pm
hello. we got some wet weather pushing into central parts of china over the next couple of days. some cooler attack mean by the north. we have had some filthy air, really poor air quality up around beijing, with wesley wind spilling out of bongo leah from the gobi desert. we will see this tow front sweep its way further. east was grassy, seeing some wet weather coming back into bathing. hopefully tends to wash out some of that. so poor air quality in the process is at west to weather coming into central parts of china. some wet weather that same into western areas of japan all moving further east was cloud and rain joining up there, some positive japan seeing some way whether central areas of china seeing that that rain continue, slipped further south cooler we are talking. becky behind said a few showers just pushing up towards patching at this stage, scattering a showers across much of south east asia, heaviest of which will be into indonesia. the philippines will see some heavy
5:18 pm
showers from time to time, but not too much to concern ourselves with. that is the case to across a good part of the indo china. but some wet weather into northern parts of cambodia . where to where the spreading across a good part of india over the next few days. we do have orange warnings in force for central and eastern parts as the re pushes all the way into under pradesh. ah, actually to act is a different stages of their life. share the highs and lows following dreams of fame and fortune. good middlebrook all good to go mother. endlessly seeking to folks and ambitions. with all that, i saw you, of course while struggling with family expectations for you. good dreams on. i was just either
5:19 pm
lou ah ah, welcome back to watching al jazeera. i'm this policy here and our ha, that's remind you about top stories. rescue teams in the law, we are searching for survivors. after tropical flight turn, freddy swept through storm, broad, heavy rain that is triggered, floods and landslides. more than 200 people have been killed. i'm thousands displaced. a quote and pakistan has ordered police to delay the arrest of former prime minister and run kong until thursday. there were 10 scenes, the icons house between his supporters and the officers trying to arrest him. he faces dozens of charges including corruption. moscow says relations with washington, r. s. a lamentable states. after the u. s. a curious russia downing one of its
5:20 pm
surveillance drones over the black sea. the 10th the pentagon ins, as the drone was over international waters, russia denies hitting the aircraft, saying it crashed your to shop maneuvering. now trading of us stocks got off to a negative start when markets opened in the last ballot. use that new concerns about a european bank following the u. s. once intervention over the collapse of 2 financial institutions, their investors are now worried about credit suisse. it's shares felt 25 percent and trading on wednesday. well, kristin sweeney joins us now from wall street in new york. christian, i imagine you're seeing some pretty worried faces. absolutely. yes, i'm standing outside the new york stock exchange where markets are trading in negative territory. once again, the dow jones industrial average opened up about $500.00 points lower that's about one and a half percent amid renewed concerns about the banking sector. here in the united
5:21 pm
states. up until now, concerns about banking had focused mostly on regional banks like silicon valley bank in san francisco and signature bank here in new york. those are the 2 banks that failed in the last week. they were shut down because they weren't prepared. they didn't have enough money set aside to cover rising interest rates. now, investors are spooked by what they're seeing happening in european markets, specifically regarding quite at credit suisse. and it's shares falling. this is a bank that has a large presence in the united states and it seems to have renewed concerns about the major banks here in the u. s. and whether or not they are prepared to whether the bumps in the economy ahead they are looking critically at these bags. ironically though, the markets may get some help today from a another negative report on the economy. consumer prices have gone up and
5:22 pm
retail sales. we found out this morning have declined slightly, almost to half a percentage point retail sales lower than what were expected. and so some investors are betting that that will cause the federal reserve to pause interest rate hikes and, and so that may be mitigating some of the concerns over the banking sectors that we're seeing here. but still, definitely the markets are trading lower and with bank and stocks leading the way on. speaking of all the nerves and uncertainty, i expect a lot more anxiety head for credit suisse shareholders themselves. ah, yeah. again, that's really what started this happening earlier in the week. credit suisse acknowledge that they had found certain material weaknesses in their internal controls. that's the wording put out by the bank. and reuters today reported that the saudi national bank, the largest investor in credit suite in credit suisse,
5:23 pm
won't be able to support them with more financing because of regulatory issues. so they have committed as much as they can. bad is what sparked concerns about the, the stability of that bank in that, again being reflected here in bank stotts in the united states. and we'll continue watching how those dynamics play out in the coming hours and days. kristen salumi there for us on wall street in new york. thanks kristen. hans now been 12 years since peaceful protests began and syria calling for the removal of president bashar lasted. ah, the uprising turns into a civil war and then a proxy war involving regional powers. hundreds of thousands of people were killed and millions remain displaced. but president bush, allison is still in power. rule has triggered one of the wild west humanitarian catastrophes in decades. millions of people remain uprooted from their homes and
5:24 pm
are living in rebel controlled parts of northwest syria. nor camacho spoke to some of those people and it live. syria has been devastated by conflict. millions have died or been displaced since an uprising against the rule of bush began 12 years ago. despite their losses, people say they have not abandoned their cause. and me when i lost my house and my little sister in the bombardment of eastern or lateral, i also lost my leg and was hospitalized for weeks. we were simply asking for the basic human rights, but instead of listening to us, the syrian regime chose to wipe out the country when the un estimates more than 400000 people have been killed since the conflict ruptured with over 13000000 sling as refugees are becoming internally displaced, they say that despite their desperate situation, the remain hopeful for a brighter future for the next generation. i, jonathan,
5:25 pm
i love the people who prefer to live in these harsh conditions rather than under the rule. we have a saying, we shall perish, but the syrian regime won't rule us. many still hold that the years of struggle were necessary, no matter the consequence. for him to believe that what a view does rebuilding against the state was in fact, unavoidable. given us our don't abuse of power and condition or be neutral reaction. what going on that was actually stopping now is never an option. the uprising expose the true face of the international community as well as the true face of this regime. if you asked me if i would have chosen the path 12 years ago, i would have said absolutely yes. even though we lost so many companions along the way, their sacrifices will not go in vain. if we stop now, our children pay a far greater price. i shall, i'm off on mac and it's only marshal seen it in spite of
5:26 pm
the absence of long term solutions and hum to aspire to a peaceful life for his children, sir, is are honoring the walls on the verge of the uprising. a day that i've gone through represent hope and resilience for them. although knowing that the road ahead would be longer difficult, they say that they will never give up until they're fulfilled their goals. no call much i just live. when i spoke to russia now's her day and she's the bridge and director of the enjo action aide international, she says that the recent quake in the country has only west and an already di, humanitarian situation. unfortunately, the. ringback situation just keeps getting worse. reasons. when they meeting 5000000 people requiring basic shelter and even before their weight around 16000000 people in theory, i need another level of complex. the situation now on the
5:27 pm
ground. if you mean remains the same as when, when you need for shelter, you need for protection for food items. but also there isn't it as love to think about that medium. so recovery and how to continue. like providing for, for the situation is really is really bad. for me to provide for this area. but this gate of the needs is, is a huge and here just maybe some, some numbers. so the human or, or the area in the past year and 2020 to one of the largest one that was on the funded for 4910. and so far for this human, it's on the for this year it is 41000000000 on the one good for like 2 percent up to now i'm just getting higher. all the horn of africa is facing its longest and
5:28 pm
most severe drought. and 40 years, the unprecedented ferry of 5 consecutive rainy seasons as pushing millions, that of the brink of starvation. thousands of somali refugees of also fled to northern kenya as catherine sawyer reports. now from the dub, who's an o. this is the face of 3 generations of a refugee family. in kenya's, the dark camps was sued. abdi 100 flag, a civil war in somalia, in 1991. he has been here since his children were born in the camp. they now have children of their own, and none of them has ever left the confines of this settlement. i gladly thought to yeah, that, that to the year and euro, i respect, kenya, my kids were born canyon, but they are not accepted here. and there are a lot of stereotypes about being somalia. the only future i see for my children is if somalia gets peace,
5:29 pm
then they can go back to somalia and make their own life or oklahoma just or 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 exist him national public services and for the same time. but we also hope, oh, the 2 communities are to leave side by side with one another, peacefully and i and, and, and, and watch, ah, towards contributing to the national little on the block. oh, 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
5:30 pm
. this is a live stock market. somali refugees and canyons trade here. they have coexisted peacefully for men. yes. but increasingly deb hard to sell their animals cheaply because of oversupply. 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 world of lifestyle prices have gone down because the refugees are also coming with their own animals. were worried that the more people arrived, the more difficult it will be especially and if the draught continues back at the camp more refugees arrived. they've brought whatever they can with limited resources, it will be a struggle as a displaced and a host community. try to make things work. katherine saw you all 0 that.
