we have always stressed that the conditions in the rock kind has got to be conducive to voluntary save and dignified return. and a, we are not satisfied that those conditions are there at this particular time. but right now, you've had officials from the military regime who have gone to bangladesh and they are organizing a pilot project to return people to see you went to portland. well, a, currently a u n e shiara is in charge of that, ah, and so, so i think they, they are the best people to us. but they had made it very clear in their, in their statements that this is a bilateral arrangement. you and hcr has also used boats un boats to transport members of the military regime to bangladesh. they took off the un insignia, they apparently had guns under top, hollins,
8:10 am
as they went there. i mean, this sounds like an appalling breach of un neutrality. was it a serious mistake? well, i think again, i think you have to refer to the u. n a c r ah statements. i am not in a position to, to say or what they have already said. i accept to, to support them. but that journey on un boats does have, i think, serious repercussions for the perception of the u. n. the generals, who carried out a cou, now seemed to, at least on one occasion, have a navy. and that navy is the united nations, doesn't this put u. n. staff at risk? well, if they had consulted me, i would have stopped it. but nobody consulted me. baskin present on thy emanuel lopez, abra door, his face angry protesters as he met officials in the city, a swift odd. what is where 39 migrants died in fire and in this week,

8:12 am
of monday night is that some officials security guards a migrant himself who was accused of starting the fire have been arrested. a commission has been announced by the president looking into human rights for migrants in the country. but the big question is whether this negligence, perhaps even homicide of migrants who change the big picture in the way that met or treat people that are often going through here. and trying to get to the united states at the moment, the policy is heavily into prevention. there's a militarized pools, the national guard that seeks to stop them getting to the border with the states. there's also a detention center, not just the qualities, but across different parts of the country. that being compared by some migrants to overcrowded prisons. will any of that change? that is a question that has yet to be answered. equity was constitutional causes allowing impeachment proceedings to go ahead against president gammel. lhasa is accused of embezzlement. the decision of sparked major political crisis. alexander amputee

8:14 am
a hostile congress, an abysmal approval ratings. even conservative observers in the country say it has become increasingly hard for any political sector to defend them. what was that? was your political? should i made you? this impeachment trial is happening after law, so suffered heavy defeats and local elections and in a referendum last month, among a worsening security crisis. there is also a crisis in the health system yet. and i think the generalized discontent might play a role in pushing legislators to make a political decision more than a simple judicial one, unless somebody and us without the national assembly as up to 45 days to investigate the charges. housekeeping laughter will require 92 of the assemblies, a 137 votes. other political experts feared a removal could impact equity is already weakened. sions, but insist the president as only himself to blame on the quantity to get picked, was about the mattress bag. missus. believe one could worry about the economy and social effects that this political crises could have in ecuador. but the reality is
8:15 am
that it's the could all make unsocial crisis in the country that brought us to this point. you're putting this in place by based president alfredo bought rate or a former medical doctor and a political novice for less. so could instead choose to the solve congress before the vote triggering fresh elections that given the president's approval ratings, most believe he would certainly lose allison gonna be at the and just either sell ahead on out is there at the pledges to extend its financial lifeline to lebanon, where he can make crisis, is showing no sign of abating. and as a un sounds, a warning of the artificial intelligence, italy becomes a 1st western country to block an advanced mean chap, aunt ah ah

8:19 am
a lifeline for many of the nation struggles with a deep economic crisis. the european union has announced additional funding to help lebanon deal with its economic crisis. in the past, east support has only been directed towards syrian refugees. the 2000000 lebanese are also in need of help as a situation they wesson's, they now hold a report from barrett. the devaluation of lebanon's currency has made life difficult for many anger is growing more than 3 years into an economic crisis that shows no sign of improving in the past, the international support focused on the more than 1000000 syrian refugees and the country. the highest number of refugees per capita in the world that's changed. the european union now says 2200000 lebanese need financial assistance. that's more than a 3rd of the population. the blocks commissioner for crisis management announced
8:20 am
additional funding during a visit to be route. but made clear, it won't be enough to resolve the challenges a 20 percent increase compared to last year. but as you know, human age is not a sustainable long term solution. this continued reforms, this continued political consolidation, discontinued the election of a president. this country needs a government with full powers in place, and this country needs an agreement with international community. specifically, with the international monetary fund of the envoy reiterated the international communities long standing position, the financial lifeline needed to rescue the economy. is through a deal with the international monetary fund. political leaders have refused to cooperate because that would entail losing influence over the states resources.
8:21 am
instead, some officials blame the presence of syrian refugees for the crisis. the authorities of lebanon, of their own responsibility for providing basic services to the citizens of lebanon . and let me be very clear. the current crisis of, in lebanon and financial terms in inflation, was not caused by city ref hinges. international aid is at least for now holding off lebanon's transition into a failed states, but already the policy of no policy making has impacted all aspects of life, including an all but paralyzed public sector. then there was a report by the campaign group, ethical consumers accusing fall managers in spain of routinely abusing migrant workers. allegations include unpaid wages, force, labor on demanding sexual favors for employment. over half of europe's fruits and

8:23 am
a massive kind of passing of the buck between different people who should all be working together to create change. you know, the authority point to retailers repay the point government, it keeps popping round, whereas actually, you know, market are profiting situation and they do that or need to taking accountability for it. i think it's easy when retailers can one step removed the equitation to be saying, you know, it's not an issue with nato, but the condition, happy in portage 20 years and it kind of doesn't fly anymore to just say it's down the line in the farms both the governments, but we can't do anything about it. i think that will probably bit of naive for many of us about what goes on in europe. and particularly when it comes to migrant workers, undocumented migrants often the most secret society people really content blind di to what is actually very blatant quotation. uganda has
8:24 am
deployed more soldiers to the democratic republic of congo. they part of the east african regional for assessment. and the conflicts between government forces in the m 23 armed group, malcolm web reports. more ugandan soldiers arriving in democratic republic of congo . there under the banner of an east african regional force is meant to end the conflict between government forces and the m $23.00 armed group ugandans of crossed into the border town of clinic honor. it was taken by m 23 last year and its fighters still there was a lot of footage efficient and we upload the all of us that we helped with the bishop. we have been waiting for long on the waiting for a few days or few months. i don't think he's going to do in infancy, threes taken sways of territory from congress. government forces over the last year, widely understood to be a proxy of neighboring rwanda. you can, there's also been accused of backing the group. those governments deny it. you can,
8:25 am
there's a said country to join the regional force, kenya and burn the of already sent troops. congress army said the regional forces would help fight them 23. instead, they've been making agreements with the armed group. m 23 hasn't obeyed. regional leaders calls for it to withdraw into som boom, locked every time when we drew from a place the government forces and local groups still coming back. this time we have agreed with the east african forces that such kind of behavior will be conceded as well. lation of sees player and we will react immediately. people have protested against wanda and you can the in cities across congo in regions. yes. it blamed for decades of military aggression and looting of minerals ever since they 1st invaded in the 1990. 2 years ago, thousands of uganda and soldiers entered congress east territory near the town of fanny. on the agreement with congress government. they meant to be pursuing an
8:26 am
armed group called the idea rights groups say violence against civilians has grown worse since they arrived. now people are wondering if the arrival of even more foreign forces will help to end decades of conflict. malcolm web al jazeera un secretary general, antonio good terrorists has called for better safeguards against artificial intelligence and follows the call from a 1000 top industry experts for a whole to powerful a training for 6 months calling the race to develop the tools out of control. it's actually general spokesman says recently released models all concerning. he's been following the recent developments in artificial technology very closely and frankly, he's very worried and very concerned. indeed. i think the technology, as i said, has tremendous potential for good, including for us in implementation, sustainable development goals. but he believes that it's important to pull and put
8:27 am
in place strong government governance and guard rails against potential misuse. and some of the software that we're seeing being released, you know, in the past few weeks, is clearly not doing that. italy have blocked, the artificial intelligence chat, bought champ, g p t, and privacy watchdog says that the out doesn't respect, personal data or check the age of his uses. it's launch investigation chat. gpc was created by us startup open a i am backed by microsoft, is designed to answer difficult questions, write code, or essays. it's sparked control. vesee teaches a worried students will use it to cheat in the coursework and policymakers have raise concerns about privacy, cybersecurity, and the spread of misinformation recently. pina is an a i a law research fellow at the university of virginia. she says, we're likely to see more government regulation around a programs. i think there might be,
8:28 am
there might be some follow up from other countries in the chat ttp the open a company doesn't provide more information of how i've written this train. because at the moment the allegations are based on assumption that it's misusing the personal data. but actually we don't know how the data use because there's not enough information given to the public at the same time. if you're in union, there's a lot of new regulation being proposed. there's, there's data service acts, etc. so we will have enough regulation. it will be a matter of how in flores and how much the companies collaborate and showing the information that is needed to better understand how these technologies i working so touchy is different than a way that is trained on a larger dataset. so it's taking all the publicly available information online, mostly in english and training. it's algorithm, wires,
8:29 am
social media platforms will focus on the data they are gathering themselves. so in that sense, the language model is a lot larger and a lot more tolerable. however, that kind of zoning in only on t v t might be unfair, given that there are other large language models out there by other companies. so we'll still have to see how they compare in the future. chaperones. governance as the next few years represent the last chance to reverse the accelerating decline in the bus. res measures announce on friday include more subsidies for child care, education and better wages for young adults. now the issue has been school closures around $40.50, have shut down this year. you know, i walk a reports the classrooms of him or to junior high school stand empty. for years, more students have left here than enrolled. after 7 decades of operating the small village school in japan. so cuz she my prefecture is preparing to close its doors
8:30 am
for good job. they say, when i 1st heard from the principal that the school was closing down, it was sad, but i also thought it was such a wish to close the school with a long history like this one. it's a nationwide phenomenal. the government says 9000 schools have shut down between 20022020. as birthrates continue to decline. the cost of education childcare, and the child reason burden on women are cited as some of the main causes. last year, annual birth dropped below 800000 for the 1st time, 8 years earlier than projected. what i hope there, this is here from the period when the school had the most pupils. they were about a $160.00 of them. while we and ita are the last 2 students who will ever graduate from the school counselor to the see. i don't know if there will be any children left in the village by the time i'm a nursery school teacher. but if there are,
