i struggled gives birth to a true passion with just where humanity defines. expectation with freedom is always worth quite 12 and untold stories from across asia and the pacific. 101 east on al jazeera. and we've been a hands on journalist working in asia and africa, that'd be days where i'd be shooting and editing my iron stories in a refugee camp with no electricity. and right now we're confronting some of the greatest challenges that humanities ever faced. and i really believe that the only way we can do that is with compassion and generosity and compromise. because that's the only way we can try to solve any of these problem is together. that's why is there is so important we make those connections. ah,

donald trump has to appear in a new york court on tuesday as the 1st former us president to face criminal charges . ah, you're watching me all 0 life from a headquarters and delta i'm day obligated also coming up. tornado suite through several us states killing for and taking out power for thousands of people. a stampede during the distribution of food aid in pakistan kills at least 11 people. andro hanger, refugees in bangladesh, face a difficult ramadan after the un reduces food aids. ah, hello donald trump is due to appear in new york court on tuesday. he'll become the

1st former us president to face criminal charges. the details are under seal, but the grand jury that voted for the indictment was investigating a payment made to the adult film star stormy daniels during the 2016 presidential election campaign keeper. alessandra reports from new york, a handful of protesters came out friday at trump tower, new york. as news of the former president's indictment, filtered through about 6 kilometers to the south outside the manhattan district attorney's office. the anticipation among the world's media is also building as a date with history draws closer. but back in florida, donald trump's plain remains firmly on the tarmac, the man himself staying behind closed doors through most of the day, leaving his supporters to do most of the talking for him. i think these charges. a are not legitimate charges, i think what is happening right now and our, our nation is very sad and i feel that the direction that we are headed is very

dangerous. since the manhattan district attorney's office confirmed trumps indictment over hush money payments to a former adult film, star speculation has mounted over how trump's arraignment will play out. they've got nothing and its potential effect on the country. trump's lawyers say they'll vigorously fight the charges and framed the indictment as political persecution. it's believe trump will surrender on tuesday, and it's expected he will arrive here at the district attorney's office, where he will have his photograph and fingerprints take him. he will be in walked down a long hallway to make his 1st court appearance at an arraignment when he is free to leave. the big question then is, will trump come outside to address the media? one person, apparently unwilling to be drawn into the debate. current u. s. president joe biden. oh,

oh. oh no plumbing outside the district attorney's office. the wait is on now just days away from a former president to show up and surrender to face a judicial system that is waiting for him. gabriel's hondo al jazeera you york, donald trump's lawyer says the case is politically motivated. this is a historic case, a monumental case case, but will have wide reaching ramifications and it, it really to day in i feel very concerned about the rule on this country course. it endangers the rule of law for all americans to dates donald trump, to march the democrat of the day after it, sir, and wrote your friend the day after that you were me. and that's what concerns we want. a prosecutor couldn't use the law and the system to go after political opponent. it's something that frightens me. ron phillip palsky is a former

u. s. federal prosecutor, and he says that trump may find it difficult to stick to the bail conditions. i fully expect, given what we've seen so far, the judge to order him that if he's gonna remain out on pre trial release, he cannot not try to attempt to harass, threaten or intimidate any of the witnesses, such as stormy daniels, michael cohen. any of the prosecutors, especially alvin brag or the judge. and that's going to be a pretty big mine field for him. not to be able to, to post on social media or to denigrate them and rally speeches. because that's his bread and butter. i would have said that the new york protest was going to be minor if anything at all, tracking them as i do i, i follow on social media, many of the rabble rousers in new york. but the announcement today of the georgia congresswoman green going there to spearhead this protest that's really energized the right on social media like i haven't really seen since prior to january 6th. so

i think that she could draw a significant crowd and could bring in a number of people from outside the city of new york. in there on tuesday, tornadoes have swept across 6 american states in the south and in the midwest, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. at least 4 people are dead and tens of thousands without power. let me go swim sharif reports. the fields twist, making its way to little draw the capital of arkansas ripping away roofs and walls, uprooting trees and flipping. oh, will be a thought. he said dozens of people are injured. some critically, a state of emergency is in place and tens of thousands of households are without power. oh, the lights went down 1st and then after the lights. well now we are told to get away, but the hallway was all north was locked out

. the window is in the bathroom say use an airplane and and had to take higher is like they're about the blows. that's what it sounds like is a lot of pressure. it was quick. less than 1520 seconds. it was similar scenes and i was there motorists and kilter captured this video. the national weather service was tracking at. he's 36 unconfirmed to nader reports in arkansas, tennessee, illinois. and i was in the evening. the storm rolled through illinois. the roof of the phone appeared to invent the day collapsed during the concert tomatoes, a common in the u. s, especially in the center and south of the country. but scientists say the common

storms are unusually intense. this is the 1st time and i believe more than 10 years that we've had 2 areas of high risk dots, very uncommon. typically this real life to focused on one particular area. but in this case today, we have 2 areas of concern and a broad area of what's called a moderate risk, which is 4 out of 5 on the, on the scale. so this, this was a pretty widespread, severe weather threat with a large area of concern for tornado. the severe weather comes, especially in joe biden, was this thing, mississippi, where at least 26 people died after monster tornado battled through the state. last week. when we consume surely august, the police have recovered the bodies of 8 people including 2 children who died while trying to illegally cross from canada into the united states. their bodies

were found in a marshy area of the st. lawrence river and ac was south name. police say they were members of 2 families of romanian and indian descent under still looking for a 9 person. he was last seen driving a boat found close to the bodies. angry protests surrounded the car of mexican president undress money, why lopez, a bridge, or when he visited your dad. whereas on friday, earlier this week, 39 people died in a fire in a migrant detention center in the city, which is close to the us border. an investigation is underway into why 68 men appear to have been left locked in their cell while the fire burned. 5 people have been arrested john home and has more from mexico city. president andres manuel lopez over the door of mexico on friday visited see it as far as a town in which at least $39.00 migrants died in a fire that broke out in a migrant detention center in the town

a monday night. but his visit was actually to investigate what happened to see the survivors, perhaps in the hospital. it was pre raised and it was local with local state officials. and the president actually didn't go anywhere near those survivors. obviously wary of a photo opportunity of, or of any sorts of publicity around this case. what has happened after the events of monday night is that some official security cards, 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, the migrants in the country. but the big question is whether this negligence, perhaps even homicide of migrants will change the big picture in a way that met for treat people that are going through hit and trying to get to the united states. at the moment the policy is heavily into prevention. there's a militarized force, the national guard that seeks to stop them getting to the board with the state.

there's also a detention center, not just in bodies, 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. is really for to say that they shot and killed a palestinian man or the oxen moss compound. they accused the 26 year old of grabbing an officer as gun. and this incident comes as muslims observed, the fasting month of ramadan. tension had been high since prime minister benjamin netanyahu. the far right coalition government took office late last year. so don's transition to civilian leadership has been delayed. a final agreement was expected to be signed on saturday and would have named a civilian government unpaid the way for a full transition from military rule. but disagreements remain about the integration of the paramilitary rapids support forces into the army. uganda has

deployed more soldiers to the democratic republic of congo. fighting between the 23 arm group and government forces as displaced nearly a 1000000 people in the past year. malcolm web has more more uganda and 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 armed. great. ugandans have crossed into the border town of point gonna it was taken by m 23 last year, and the fighters still there was a lot of footage efficient. and we up, luckily, all of us that we helped with the bishop. we have been waiting for long on the waiting for a few days or a 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 yes, 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,

there's a 3rd country to join. the regional force can human burundi of already sent troops, condos, 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, to me last, every time when we drove from a place to government forces and local groups, a still coming back. this time we have agreed with the east african forces that such kind of behavior will be considered a violation of ceasefire. and we will react immediately. people have protested against for 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 1990. 2 years ago, thousands of uganda and soldiers entered congress, east territory near the town of bennie. under an agree with congress government,

they meant to be pursuing an 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 and decades of conflict. malcolm web al jazeera and pakistan, at least 11 people have been killed and dozens injured in a stampede of food distribution center. many pakistani are dependent on humanitarian aid that says the nation struggles with an economic crisis center. martin has more, the confusion and panic, injured and dead are everywhere. money and food is being distributed before a tradition during ramadan. for sam p broke out, as this site in karachi was overwhelmed by crowds of desperate people need them. i did it all out, just a get a good. those behind us didn't stop. they kept pushing. i was chris to the last

thing i remember is that my sister fell on me. i tried to find my sister, but i couldn't. when the crowd cleared, i saw both of them. my sisters lying dead, women and children were killed as the crowd got out of control therapy and other stampeded food distribution centers this week. with this, with the deadliest idea guy, not going to go ahead and hop in money was being distributed among the poor to do a last crowd had gathered which resulted in a stampede efforts to control the crowd. made things worse. some people drawn to nearby stream others were trampled underfoot. money, inflation is a 50 year high, and families are struggling to survive. because the basic goods, like flower for sword, nearly 50 percent this past year, families of the dead say they're tired of political infighting and demanding solution. millions of women have been forced to leave their homes to get some free food. why? because of the government, the prime minister flaming formally,

the iran, contra, everything car is not responsible. he is responsible. there is no gas, no electricity, no water. everything is so expensive. they should die of shame. please have sealed off the area. they've already arrested several people. the organizers are being blamed for failing to inform local authorities about the event. but so long as pakistani families remain in dire conditions, more tragedies like this one could be difficult to avoid. didn't and monahan al jazeera, well, it's russia's turn to take on the rotating presidency of the un security council. key has called it a bad joke. on april, the 1st it was russia removed from the council altogether from the un. our diplomatic editor, james bass, has more. every month the presidency of the un security council rotates among its 50 members. today, russia is assuming the presidency for the month of april. that's deeply controversial because when russia had the presidency last year was february,

the month that they invaded ukraine, there are people calling for russia to be kicked off the security council or kicked out of the united nations. but if you look at the rules and you look at the un charter, those things are not possible. what we do know is that later this month, the russian foreign minister. so gay lab rockers will be here in new york. you'll be sharing a number of meetings, including one in defense of this document. the you n's, founding charter, other diplomat say that is very cynical when it's russia that is currently breaching this charter with its ongoing war. james bays al jazeera of the united nations. still ahead on al jazeera, artificial intelligence gets uncomfortably smart. italy becomes the 1st western countries block shot g p t. ah

hello, there may be the 1st of april and april fools, but it's no joke that we are going to see more wet and wintry weather sweep across the across central parts of europe. that's as unsettled conditions start to put away from the northwest missiles, very strong wind gusts, across southern parts of england, up to a 100 kilometers per hour. we are going to see those conditions ease. over the next few days. i'm just sitting slightly low here, but they'll be on the up in the southeast for places like anchored in turkey as the weather conditions improve here. so on sunday, for britain, the and the island of island more in the way of rain edging in across more southern areas. brighter spells, however, it is improving picture here. and it's more in the way of sunshine for much of scandinavia, which is a bit of a wintry mix, western parts of russia and ukraine. farther south of this, we are going to the unsettled conditions, intensify across central parts of the mediterranean. moving into the balkans some

recovery to the temperature in athens and also bucharest, romania temperatures in spain, still sitting high, they'll be coming down slightly over the next few days. but for places like portugal, lots of sunshine. and we're going to see the temperature continue to rise in lisbon, with sunshine on tuesday. ah, ah ah, ah. oh

. the teller we got the top stories on al jazeera. donald trump is due to in court on tuesday. the 1st former us president to face criminal charges. he's been investigated for a payment made by his lawyer to an adult film star. during the 2016 presidential campaign, police and canada have recovered the bodies of a migrants including 2 children who died while trying to cross into the us. their bodies were found in a marshy area of the st. lawrence river. is really forced to say they've shot and killed a palestinian man near the compound. they accused the 26 year old of grabbing an officer in gun evacuation. orders have now been lifted in

a town near japan's fukushima nuclear power plant. 12 years after one of the world's worst nuclear disasters, the japanese prime minister from your casita attended a ceremony. marking the reopening of 2 areas of tommy o come. it's one of 12 towns that was fully or partially evacuated after an earthquake on toonami triggered meltdowns at the nearby power plants in 2011, 100. 60000. people were evacuated, 30000, that them still can return home. rominger refugees are struggling to make ends need that after the un slashed food a due to funding shortfalls in march. and the cuts coincide with the muslim fasting month of ramadan. tanveer chowdhury has more from cox's bizarre with food rations from the you and food agencies been cut. many in this can fear they'll soon go hungry. cramped in a makeshift tank with 9 other family members, mullah barnum mrs. are home in may,

unmarked. she left everything behind during the crack down by the military dot and at the last i got, i didn't like that right now. we are facing difficulties in getting adequate amount of ration. sometimes we have to buy items from outside with what i have a savings. we have back home, our family will pharmacy, so it's much easier to manage our life. unlike hair getting number brick, when incidence of fire violence and threat of flood and landslide during monsoon season makes life challenging. here for roha kayla. it's hard living here, but somehow we are managing during ramadan with the limited rashness, we guess. but it's just not enough for a large family like ours. many rowing, i said they were used to receiving different types of food aid during ramadan and previous year. but that stopped expert things, the rational been provided or insufficient. and any further decrees that posed grave health problems for the remainder of the mhm of liliana mother marcella. she

put it on in mother. the recent cut in rations is worrying. people being as most don't have any other income source in the bottle here in the mosque. we don't even have an after meal arrangement for the community. unlike in the refined state in la garza, ah mon, with their shows more than a 1000000 growing of muslims, but it's government is gradually losing patience with the international community, saying it's failing to help resolve the crisis. and the ali, month of ramadan, most growing are rapid, is said, they are thankful that they are saved here. their lives still remain a daily struggle. i made all the trauma and tribulations most still dream of returning home one day. with charlie, i'll just talk to the bazaar an ongoing strike by private doctors in the northern indian state of russia. dawn shows no sign of ending there protesting against new health legislation which guarantees free health care. patients say the crisis is affecting treatment poverty, mental reports in the city of jai,

poor patients are lining up a job with largest government hospital. this is the ongoing doctor strike is making treatment harder to get physical. there aren't any doctors and hospitals when we come to gorman facilities, patients are not treated properly. doctors do x rays and even to this surgery, but they don't know when they can do it. doctors and largest data protesting recently passed has there been thousands of them have hit the st, demanding the act, be repeated. private facilities have close disrupting medical services. patient said they're being forced to queue up in overcrowded government hospitals or go to another state, georgia. so i'm say, don't, why do you spend more than the national average on public health and treatment and government hospitals like these large, the 3, the right to has act. next 3 inigo. right. making is the 1st legislation of finding doctors actually for private hospitals to treat emergency cases,

even if patients cannot afford it. they believe this will increase bureaucratic interference emergency when sort of got, how can the government to find an emergency that's for the doctors to decide. i'm said the government should ask us to help them make a law. yeah, the act looks like it's been copied from a developed country, which has good health care infrastructure. the government says the actual expand existing health, gaskin and increase access to the poorest people any longer love me. sometimes poor people don't get treated either government or private hospitals. that's why it's important to give it to them as a right. so they won't die because they didn't get treatments. if the government's covering costs up to $30000.00, what's the issue? the government says it's open to discussions but will not be the act. patients hope the deadlock is resolved soon. for now, the plan to broaden has access has resulted in restricting it, at least temporarily limit the largest era,

jap or northern india. a report by the campaign group ethical consumer is accusing farm managers in spain of routine. the abusing migrant workers. allegations include unpaid wages, forced labor and demanding sexual favors for employment, more than half of europe's fruit and vegetable come from southern spain. the report is calling on supermarket chains that buy from those farms to take action and demand. workers' rights are respected. claire carlisle, as a researcher at the ethical consumer and an author of their reports, she says the workers are often undocumented, and many are young women recruited from north africa when the, when the dr conditions are nothing like that told they're going to be, they often live on farms where they're given cookies or they're restricted from moving that passport might be confiscated. day to day, they're working on the heat in very hot conditions with very little safety

condition, equipment underpayment of wages is very common. union busting is very common at work and having a stream lead time speaking out, or making sure that a key issue is that there's been massive kind of passing the buck between different people who should all be working together to create change. you know, the authority point to retailers repay the point of government, it keeps on passing round, whereas actually, you know, market are profiting from 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 our issue is not both, but the conditional happiness portage 20 years. and it doesn't fly anymore to just say it's down the line. it's the farms, both 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 in many ways. blayton exploitation of a new one for general is calling for better safeguards around, or it's official intelligence that follows a call from a 1000 top industry experts for hold to a development for 6 months calling the race to improve the tools out of control. 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 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 has blocked the artificial intelligence chart bod chat, g p t. and it's privacy watchdog says the app doesn't respect. personal data or check the age of its users. it's launched an investigation chat g p t was created by us startup, open a i, and it's backed by microsoft. it's designed to answer a difficult questions, write code or essays, and can even engage in human like conversation. but it has sparked controversy. teachers are worried, students will use it to cheat in their coursework, and policymakers have raised concerns about privacy, cybersecurity as well as the spread of misinformation. router lia pina is an ai and law research fellow at the university of bologna, she says we're likely to see more in government regulation around artificial intelligence programs. i think there might be, there might be some follow up from other countries in the chat. gpc 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 used because there's not enough information given to the public at the same time. if you're in union, there are a lot of new regulation being proposed. there's a, i asked their date of service act, 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 captivity 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. wire. social media platforms will focus on the data they're gathering themselves. so in that sense, the longer.
