a syrian refugee who crossed the mediterranean. in a small, overcrowded boat, he shed his story of survival and treacherous sea crossing the recall him all these memories. now it's 9 years later, it's still not the easiest. but in general, what happened was that the 1st few days where where okay, yes, the small, small boat was kind of a problem, especially with that amount of people on board. we were around 100 refugees, different backgrounds, some syrians and some addictions. and. ready the boat was 15 meters long and along with the crew, want to call them back to people basically driving the boat. and we were not given an exact date on when will we arrive?

actually we are giving the probability or percentage of the survival rate, which is 60 percent. so we got on the, on the boat knowing that there is a 40 percent chance that we will not make it over. we filled it after 6 days in the sea. actually to exactly 9 years ago that we called the coast guard after facing a form and the small boat couldn't handle it anymore. and it cracked down. and with that, the around midnight when he, 5th of marsh and 14, it was the best moment of my life when i knew that it's not going to be a certain day that we so lights. and we knew that the coast guard is on their way to save us and they did tally. ready and that was one day before reaching italy, so on the shore officially. now rescue if it's wrong,

the way after tornado and strong thunderstorms ripped through the state of mississippi on friday night at least 23 people have been killed. many left homeless and the scale of the destruction is huge. shall baton see reports of the town of rolling fork in the rural mississippi. delta took a direct hit from a tornado on friday night and accounted for the majority of the casualties. such was the power of a toy. later daybreak was reportedly framed thousands of meters into the daylight revealed a town devastated and across the mississippi and alabama. the reports of leveled buildings overturned cause down. power lines and trees. search and rescue teams were deployed saturday morning to find those traps to get our sales into the middle part of the house and we did. we got in there and obviously it was coming right behind us because soon as we got in there we heard a big boom and didn't hear anything else for a little while. so we walked out and then came out to about 10 trees down in our

yard. there were multiple reports of tornadoes amid the storm system and the national weather service and investigators to ascertain whether many of those reports were for the same tornado tracking northeast. across the region for over a 130 kilometers, we can think that it's only one single tornado tracking over a very long distance. but as the damage surveys are conducted, they can see those missing points between tornadoes and determine if it was one long tornado or multiple large tornadoes produced by the same storm, which is equally as impressive when they see. so it's only just beginning in the south and already there have been several devastating incidence meteorologist say this storm system was fueled by the extreme weather patterns and high ocean temperatures that have become so common now as climate change bites she ever times the al jazeera, ah, now israel's defense minister has joined

a course of voice as opposed to controversial judicial changes you have gallant says they must be stopped and that the division the proposals of caused is an immediate security issue. as he was speaking, hundreds of thousands of his writings demonstrated against the proposals made by prime minister benjamin netanyahu. the changes would give netanyahu's government more control over judicial appointments, allow parliament to overturn supreme court decisions with a simple majority votes. critics, a seeking to subordinate the judiciary to the canal. it m ron con, attended the protest in tel aviv it's the 12th week of the protests, a here in selby, across israel, and take a look at the crowd already. it's a huge where like you to see some, 500000 people across israel. now it's crunch time for the protesters because we're headed into the pol sofa recess. that's a religious holiday here in israel, parliament goes on recess. the far i government coalition wanted to pass all of

these judicial, overhauled bills before that and they've had one key success. they already have managed to possibility that says the attorney general cannot declare a sitting prime minister, unfit for office. let's see what they think about that. we will have 3 days of rate next week and it's got bigger and bigger, stopped the whole gone, great big, big m a spreadsheet in front of the bala, man, and event anyone succeed. remodel, says no harm. i will be here because i believe that it's about. mm hm with shane. now, despite that confidence, there is a secret weapon that these protest is half, and that's the military. already 200 pilots from these radio false, i've joined the protest. we've been a 100 members at the elite, a $200.00 units of also joined. the protest movement at $10000.00 reservists have

signed a letter saying that they will not show up for duty. and now the society of lawyers is also said it will join the protest paper and all of that will put pressure on the government. the government still is sticking to its guns. it bronco out is era television now has been a shooting in the palestinian town of how war i and the occupied west bank to his ready soldiers were wounded after they were fired at from the moving car as responsible are still believed to be on the run as let's now speech are reporting that i sure can name his life 1st in ramallah, and of course hawaii has been a flash point to play. so have seen recent violence, but festival tell us about the search for the per the traces. any hope of this being a calm beginning to the holy month of ramadan, evaporated on this 1st saturday of the holy month with this shooting in horror. as you mentioned, 2 soldiers were shot in a drive by shooting on saturday evening. they were near

a military post. one soldier, according to the israeli military, has been severely injured. the other soldier is facing moderate injuries. and the hunt is on for the shooter or shooters, the palestinian front, or excuse me, the popular front for the liberation of palestine has. i claimed responsibility in a message on telegram in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, the main thoroughfare of who are out was closed. checkpoints going in and out of horror were also closed as were 2 surrounding checkpoints. shops were closed, people were prohibited. remember, this is a holy month and on a saturday evening it would be typically that area would be quite full. people were prevented from moving on the main thoroughfare. and we were told again, as the israeli army moved in, in search of the shooter or shooters. there were clashes between palestinians and

the israeli army. there were no reports of injuries. we've spoken to activists in the town a short time ago. they say that the israeli army has moved out of her laura. and there is a bit of calm that has been restored, but there's definitely very much a sense of calm for now. and the big question is, what kind of repercussions may people face in the city of hora? because this is a very sensitive time of year, obviously the muslim holy month of ramadan. it's also going to be the holiday of passover soon. so with these important religious holidays coinciding i suppose there is this concern about the emotion around it in a spy contentions definitely there is going to be and just as there was last year with passover ramadan and easter all overlapping. there was definitely a desire or a concern about increase tension,

but with regard to the city of hora, there has been a particular issue since late february, who are a, is a village or town, whatever you want to call it south of nablus. it has about 9000 people. it's a commercial center, and it connects the northern and the southern portions of the west bank. and in late february, it was a scene of violence involving israeli settlers, the israeli army, an palestinians of a kind that has not been seen in decades. what set this off in late february was to israeli settlers and brothers were shot in a drive by shooting as they drove through the west bank the occupied west bank. the next day, about 400 is really settlers entered the town of horror. and there were a dozens of homes and cars were torched, dozens of people were injured. so you get a sense of why people are on edge this evening in the city of hora,

in the broader scheme of things nablus. and janine, i have been the site of almost daily raids by the israeli army. there is a heavy concentration of armed palestinian fighters in these areas. so people in the general vicinity have been dealing with increased raids, deadly raids, the number of people, palestinians who have been killed so far this year again, at a rate, it's about 80 people so far that has not been seen in more than 22 years. so again, within the broader contacts, the shooting shows that it looks like the cycle of violence is continuing and definitely there is going to be a lot of tension in the next 24 to 48 hours as he is really army searches for the shooter. and shooters and fears in these areas of collective punishment. and what will come next with regard to actions that the israeli army may take. okay, thank you very much and has natasha good name in ramallah aren't present. i didn't

. prison isn't out till plays tactical nuclear weapons in bella rues, is that he struck a deal with the battle russian president, alexander, look shanker, that does not violate non proliferation agreements. it compared it to the u. s. stationing it's nuclear arms in europe. the russian media is reporting most goes move 10 across the batteries that are capable of carrying nuclear weapons. well now to pakistan where thousands of supporters of the former prime minister in wrong con of turned out to rally and la hall internet services were caught just ahead of people arriving their government and bond gatherings. in this as the last month when con attempted to hold an election event, as well as days of clashes between his supporters and police. as i beg reports now from le hall, this writing was delayed, it only took place after him. i knew that he gave assurances to the authorities, including deputy supporters would remain peaceful not to have been affairs of clashes between his supporters and the police, including here in the hall. i saw him, ron pon,

there was some doubt about the turn of this raleigh, but put him on hold. people have come out in the month of ramadan was fasting throughout the day. now. he was here in horror. over 10 years ago, the iran con, held his record breaking ruddy into the pitch because mainstream had made him a serious contender election since then has been removed, a prime minister in a vote of no confidence. i have gone. 1 to make them serious claims, he has said that there is a box to assassinate him. today is the 1st time that he will be giving the speech behind the proof street the future battle ruby taken place in the country's court. the provincial elections have been delayed until october on con, pulled upon the court to uphold the constitution. but the coalition government wants to see him on con, standing court to answer for one over 100 cases against him. and i think with him i can maintain this kind of momentum until october, and if he is found guilty of any of those charges against him,

it could mean that is not allowed to study those elections. vague algebra, the whole focused on who had for you on the program. no sign of spring in california is christmas valley buried in a record breaking snowfall. ah well we've got the return of arctic air once again to the northwest of europe. have one those details right here right now, and you can certainly feel this back into the single digits in many spots here. temperatures are also falling across central europe as these bands of rain move west as the pitcher there on sunday. watch this by tuesday painted on the colors dark of the blue, the lower the temperature. many spots single digits, sophia bulgaria, just 5 degrees. so get back to the here and now still keep in some warmth for

southern spain, malaga at 32 degrees, and there is some of that rain piling into the northwest. and as we look toward the south of france as well. now for the other side of the mediterranean, still raining in that southeast corner of turkey, some showers for the levant, his wall, also wet weather swinging across the boss for a. so is stumble, just 12 degrees. but we're that suns out, athens up to $23.00 africa fairly quiet, but some big downpours for the southeast of nigeria that's also pouring into cameroon, around walla. so certainly we could see the risk of seeing some flooding there. the winds are picking up for the eastern cape province in quasi luna tao province in south africa. but this is also pumping up the temperature in southern those and big on put to a high of 34 degrees on sunday. okay. got it. i shall see in a bit take care ah. tension in the occupied westbank is on the increase leading to

our firefighters of contain the 1st major wildfire of the year. one and a half 1000 residence in the eastern valencia region were forced to evacuate the homes, as the flames destroyed more than 4000 heck as a forest. regional police, beneath the blaze was started by a machine spark, with an unusually dry winter and hotter than usual, sprang along the ne mediterranean coast. there are fears of more destructive wildfires to come on them and that it was still yesterday when i found out about all this, my heart sank. my family lives and works there. we have everything there. so it's very tough, but it's reassuring to know now that the fight didn't get into the town and it's being controlled. it is bad. how am i supposed to feel? your town is burning, your life is burning. animals are there and known, can tell us anything. yesterday we were able to access the area, but today they weren't ladies in town to even feed the animals and grab some

clothes on the weekends are changing and conditions reactivate at 35 spot. so it's not safe. there are also still trying to solve the electricity problem as we've not had electricity for 3 days now. with our different picture, l for the state of california is being batted by heavy snowfall. severe storms of already cause travel chaos. and there is concern that the conditions could be about to get much worse. lena will actually reports by parts of california have been transformed into a winter wonderland. a wiped blanket of snow is covering the slopes of the us states northern region. some areas have received as much as 16 meters of snow list here in christmas valley for over 40 years. we're having a record snow this year of a 55 feet of snow here in our home. and we're all dealing in a, a fun winter. now spring decades,

all snow records have been broken in california this year, causing power outages, stranding people and burying homes under huge snowfall. people in south lake tall have been shoveling snow from their driveways and rooftop for the past 3 months. so this year our biggest challenge has been trying to keep the snow off the roofs, obviously with over 50 feet of snow. it's thousands of pounds of weight on our roofs. some of these roofs are collapsing and having issues. so we've all been very, very busy trying to keep the snow off our roofs and off of our walkways. while skiers will enjoy extend the season on the slopes. the unusual and record breaking long winter in california has left some anticipating sunny days and warmer weather . but they may have to wait a while. more snows in the forecasts for the greater lake tahoe area. lena, barclays al jazeera. then as while and present nicholas murderers pulled out her the ebara america summit of the law. second is believed to be on his way to the

dominican republic when an official said he would be replaced by a foreign minister. several of the 22 countries involved in the summit do not recognize maderos 2018 reelection. the forum sets out to strengthen ties between latin america and europe. our latin america editor, lucy newman, is in santo domingo. and she tells us more about at what we've been hearing particularly on hate his day in the prospect of their being an armed force on the island. hey, to as you, as you of course know, was a former french colonies, though they speak french. it is not a part of the ide bureau american club, but yet it was very much on the agenda or at least in the speeches that are being made by the heads of state at this hour a, a 1st costa rica came out and absolutely said that the only solution to a country that it described as a fail state where 70 percent of the capital is controlled by criminal gangs was to

send in foreign troops. foreign intervention is what he called for. he called word immediately, and this was followed by an interruption by the president of the dominican republic, the host president, who as you know, the, the dominican republic shares the island of east by noah with haiti and dub. and he made a plead for the united nations security council to meet immediately. also saying that the only solution was to agree to the petition by the president of haiti to bring in foreign troops. he said that it wasn't possible to ask the dominican republic to send in troops against its own neighbor, but rather that this was a responsibility for the entire world that it was a global problem that had to be tackled on a global scale. however, many of the other heads of state there, while they didn't actually criticize disposition, we have heard off the record that they do not supported they. they also point out that previous military interventions in haiti have only lead to worse and worse

problems in that country. and have not resolved the issues that haiti faces in the long term. what's also on the agenda, the problem of digital of inequality, the lack of access to a, to the internet and to digital art technology. there have been, there apparently have been agreements made that will help and that score the other, a big issue was hunger and, and with the gold food insecurity, which has risen dramatically in latin american parts of the caribbean. since the pandemic of they also were talking about democracy or the lack of in countries such as, for example, nicaragua, chili's, president, was very, very, very strong. when you choose to the president of the corolla being a dictator. and he said that the only way to resolve the problems of democracy was with more democracy, not with less of it. so other countries disagree with it. in fact, this is a meeting of, of countries that have a lot of. * common, but they also have tremendous differences which are being heard as i speak. there

been violent demonstrations in southwest france against the construction of a large agricultural irrigation project, with local mega basins of water storage areas that can be used my homage during periods of drought. opponents of the projects a large agri, business companies are trying to steal water from small farmers and residents in the area and also concern wetland areas will be damaged. astronomers have identified a small asteroid little passed close to the earth on saturday. 2023. these at to will fly between us and the moon in a once and a decade event. scientists say it's big enough to cause major damage if, if it hits out on it, that usually pass as no cause for concern. calling baker explains a tiny dot, moving at nearly 8 kilometers a 2nd. this asteroid won't hit earth, but it will come really close. asteroid 2023 de said to was discovered in february

by astronomers in the canary islands, in spain. it's 50 to 100 meters across big enough to cause significant damage to a city and bigger than the media that broke apart in the skies over russia. in 2013 the next tonight, when we could recover and then follow up these objects and automates came up. and we did realize that it's something to video if that object would have come 19 hours later than probably in 3 years from now. when we would really had an impact but thanks to the new of savings. and so some dog. busy pre cavalry dr. by to american surveys. well it's. busy eliminated from the list. these ed to is one of thousands of rocks in the international astronomical unions catalogue of minor planets. you can see it here. it's orbit intersecting with earth right there. that means it also joins nasa's century program,

which is an automated system that keeps an eye on all the known objects in orbit over the next 100 years diesel to is not a threat. and in fact, none of the objects in this catalogue are, at the moment, there are no known asteroids that posed known threats to the planet earth. there are more than 1000000 known asteroids from kilometers to meters in diameter. most orbit between mars and jupiter. we have new systems coming online again. an example is an american one called the atlas system, which has a very wide field of hue and scans the sky rather quickly compared to the old fashion surveys. they're more and more of, you know, professional and i'm a try astronomers alike use bigger and bigger telescopes and they just discover objects. in addition to these professional surveys, asteroids are rich targets for scientists. it is long been thought that they may carry complex chemicals formed in the choir.
