on called the skinny well in which you start seeing that their body condition is getting worse and they're getting better. it's because they're not getting enough food. climate change can be both, isn't surprised. it at least in the late 1918 in a game. in 1999, there was a big drop in way numbers. scientists believe that they did not treat co point in the number of very well. so very current systems pool dotsie uncertainty here every time the numbers for the researches i'm for the curious friendly animal that they're watching over oh, long waited reunion. so prisoner exchange brings hope of an end to the 8 year war india.

as the 1st group of cookie prisoners arrived home across both sides of the conflict . more than $800.00 detainees are expected to be released over the next 3 days. stephanie deca begins. are coverage o free men at last a momentous moment. not only for them personally, but politically to, ah, around $900.00 prisoners will be released as part of a prisoner swap between saudi arabia and the iran back to these. the exchange will happen over 3 days. part of the deal reached in switzerland last month. the international committee for the red cross is overseeing the transportation of these men to saudi arabia and yemen. among those being freed, yeomans, former defense minister, and also the brother of the president. the result of negotiations between the 2 sides to seek an end to the near 9 year war. i think that the visit of visit with the ambassador to santa has actually moved at this service, sir, but it is not

a exchange a with us. and i have syndic leave a message to s o d r a better they are ready afford a full exchange of but is notice in both sides with j. a could be about $15000.00 but is not as of course, it's yet a quite significant step. oh, it's the bidding a gum ritual or trust between the legitimate government ag dad ot. i'm also tapped the way to it is a black m. yeah. oh yeah, mins un brokered 6 month truce officially ended in october but still largely holds . the recent diplomatic push comes as the 2 main players in what is often called a proxy war, have made peace last month, saudi arabia and iran agree to end their 7 year diplomatic rift and re established diplomatic ties in a deal broken by china. in a statement, the u. s. special envoy for yemen said that yemen is witnessing an unprecedented

opportunity for peace a significant moment. most definitely. however, finding common ground between saudi arabia and the who thes for a long lasting piece will take more work. and more time. stephanie decker of g 0. hello to see there's how schumacher bother has covered the conflict extensively over several years. he's joining us live here in the studio. good to have you with us. this is part of a longer term effort to try to find some sort of permanent ceasefire within yemen. what is the significance of this prisoner's wall? it is it has been for many is the biggest problem in emer. we should basically stand the warring fashions in emer. we're trained to come up with a political settlement there will disagree about the prisoners exchange in never works except for few occasions or sometimes clerks untie, believers would broker dba. we're talking about few numbers of prisoners to be swapped. this time, 2nd time,

significant. and it gives us an indication that what we are seeing now in the amend happening could be conducive to phase 2, which is going to be a political settlement with ann tedom government in yemen. the saudis hope to see that government implemented within 2 years with that happen still have to wait and see, but this prisoners exchanges quite significant development is but also the build confidence building measures between the health is how controlled another part of the country and the internationally recognized government, backed by saudi arabia. we've been talking about about it in terms of those 2 different elements, the hoodies and the internationally internationally recognized government as you say, backed by sadie a re bash. but it's not as simple as that on the ground as it, i mean the yemen itself is a very factored and very complex country. it is, it is a 1st of all is, this is a country that is divided along sectarian lice. if another part of the country have

vedic larva or i know should of she iceland, the rest is predominantly sunny and this is why you have the saudi iran influence coming in. the saudis had been criticizing the health is for being proxies used by the iran to spread the radical shy geology. what it, what, what about the same time? you have the is law, a cut, a loose coalition of conservative political groups. they are very powerful. they are present everywhere in yemen. you, you won't be able to have peace in the future if the is law has that or bought. then you have the secessionist, ill, the south and the secessionist. see, this is them their moment. they joined the union 1990 hoping that the this could give them more say they say they were betrayed, ever since they were abandoned by the iliad from the north. and they said, this is the moment for them to break away. they would like to reinstate the republic of the south of the m, and that was in place until 1990. so it's

a very complex political as get. the americans have always been concerned because of another element which is a q, a, b alti. then the other peninsula, it's the most aggressive, the most powerful. i'll kind of shoot outside of, of gunston and the americas were always looking at here because they were concerned a q a, b could use the human as a platform to launch attacks against western sagas. all over the world, so we combine all those l m as all those key factors, all those warning factors. it equals an explosive scenario that would always bring about bloodshed and instability. and this has been the case in yemen just briefly. i mean this at this follows the, the very recent sort of understanding of warming relations between saudi arabia and iran. what are going to be the repercussions of this prisoner swap within yemen across the broader middle east. but also the changes of allegiance is and, and the warming of alliances that we're seeing why across the wider we're out in

the midst of unprecedented shifting dynamics in the region. 2011 was the out of spring of that abs spring suddenly evolved into something different. an unprecedented level of violence and deepening, sectarian divide. each time you would see an area you had, you have to think about hockey players reserved by a saudi arabia with spies itself on being the protector of sinister lamps, shya and iran. prize itself on being the defender of she or islam. this rapprochement could be the beginning of the angel that deepening sectarian divide. to do this, you have to have a permanent settlement in yemen. but when you finish with the many have to go to syria, when you're finished with syria, you have to go to lebanon and we're finished with them. and you have to go to live with the be able to solve all those problems, i think is going to take them some time. but we're getting strong indications. the saudi arabia, with a massive political and financial leverage they have in this part of the world. this seems to be pretty much adamant of the need to take it all their own way. and

as you can see, the america leverage waning in this part of the world. saudis now are enjoying the moment they are having a down. they say, you know what, we could use that level as to bring about some permanent solutions. awesome, thank you very much. indeed. as hassam al hobbler, delegates from 9 out of nations are meeting in saudi arabia to discuss the possibility of serious return to the arab league. is comes after a visit by silliest foreign minister to the kingdom for the 1st time in more than a decade, syria was expelled from the arab league and 2011 after the government's violence crackdown on a popular uprising. cut as prime minister has dismiss talk of sylvia returning to the arab league as speculation. he says the reasons for exec paulson still stand will i can show 20 mazama georgia. it's true that the war has stopped, but syrian people are still displacing their innocent people and presents. there are many things. we don't want to impose solutions on the syrian people. the people

need to each them. there must be a political solution for this hearing crisis. katara decision is not to taken a step if there is no political development or solution to the crisis one or during the past few weeks. several developments have taken place in the region, saudi arabia and iran, as we were talking about, of restored diplomatic relations last month as part of a deal brokerage by china, reared, and damascus are also taking steps aimed at resuming consular services and flights in their countries. now this could be a 1st move towards ending serious international isolation. cut out unbuckling of an answer. they're going to restore diplomatic ties. and that comes more than 2 years after the lifting of a blockade of cut out by bahrain, saudi arabia, the u. e and egypt. abdullah barbara is a visiting professor at we're city university with a focus and gulf and middle east affairs. he says that only a cooperative relationship can help the middle east overcome his challenges. given

the challenge is that these countries in the middle east are going to face in the future where they're transiting away from. there are based economies into more sustainable economy is given the visions that they have set up for their future. these conflicts are basically obstruct that kind of vision and that development towards sustainable economy. so i also think that has been fatigue with all these conflicts that have happened in the region, you know, for the last few decades. this complex have been costly, both financially human cost and also economically and economic development. so i think there is a realization now that they can only achieve what they want and achieve their vision if they work together and they escalate. and they move away from this complex relationship to more cooperative relationships, which we are seeing that's happening over the last year starting of course,

with the lifting the located and cut out. but also there are number of issues that have now and number of negotiations that, that take place where they're getting back iraq into the 4th. getting sylvia back into the fall rank to help. and, and i think there are also issues with them and that also libya, etc. so i think there is a realization now that there is something that needs to be done. and i think out your area seems to have taken the position that it wants to leave this kind of a reconciliation, which is of course, a good move. and this is what the region needs at the woman amendment of the us national gods did to appear in court in boston. it was arrested on thursday and suspicion of leaking classified documents online. they include sensitive military intelligence about the war in ukraine, 21 year old doctor. sarah was taken into custody from his home in massachusetts. but a questions about how he got access to state secrets is rosalyn jordan reports surrendering

without a fight. 21 year old jack douglas to cheryl was of rustic by federal agents on thursday at his home in massachusetts. he's the air national guard member accused of sharing images of classified military documents in a gamers chat room material that ended up circulating widely online. today, the justice department arrested jack douglas to sherif in connection with an investigation into alleged unauthorized removal, retention, and transmission of classified national defense information to share it is an employee of the united states air force, national guard f. b i. agents took to sure into custody earlier this afternoon without incident to shera is expected to be arraigned in boston. federal court on friday. his case is important because the documents he allegedly shared include detailed pentagon analyses on the u. s. lead effort to support ukraine in its war

against russia. evidence the u. s. was spying on its ally, south korea, and reports accusing the israeli intelligence agency, most sod of stoking recent anti government protest report most saw denies. at the pentagon, u. s. officials say service members get security clearances based on their job duties. not on their age. a policy maintained across the us. government look again . we have procedures. we have protocols in place. we receive regular training on the proper, a handling of classified information. as i mentioned, we sign nondisclosure agreements, so those rules are very clear. and anyone who has the security clearance knows that anyone who violates those rules is doing so willfully. earlier on thursday, the u. s. president appeared to downplay the importance of the material leaked. i'm not concerned about the ladies and i'm concerned it happened. but there was nothing

contemporaneous. a counselor that said by arresting to shera the u. s. is making it clear. making classified information. public is illegal. rosalyn jordan al jazeera washington. i was, i was corresponding kimberly health is joining me now from washington dc. so i understand that shows just appeared in court. what do we know about what's been going on? yeah, that has just come down in a boston courtroom. and what we know is that he has just been charged in connection with those big documents that appeared on line. those charges apparently unauthorized removal and retention of classified information against jack to sheriff. 5 0, we do know that there may potentially be more charges that are forthcoming, but his 1st appearance in a federal court room that has just happened the last few moments. and again,

those charges unauthorized removal and retention of classified info. now, for those who are unfamiliar with jack to share his name, suddenly becoming a household name, just the last 2448 hours, given the allegations against him, he is a cyber security specialist with the intelligence wing of the air national guard in the united states. and a lot of questions about how he was able to get the kind of access that he allegedly had in order to potentially transmit to put these types of documents on lie. now, when you have a top secret security clearance in the united states is not unusual to be able to have this kind of access that it's a does give you a large swath of information once you are given, this type of clearance. and so this is something that a lot of americans are perplexed about, but for those that do understand how top secret security clearance is work in the

united states. it is something that is pretty standard. kennedy, thank you very much and do that. so where does corresponding, kimberly hawker so head on out as it unlocking new opportunities and strengthening old alliances, brazil's president lewis and not feel new to the silver, china's leaders. she g thing in beijing. ah hello, it looks like a case of all change across east asia, whether looking very mobile now or a cloud piling in from the west, pushing further east with area of low pressure that spills out sofa eastern china, running across japan as we go through, sat dice and pretty heavy rain for a time here that we could see some localized flooding temperatures falling back

around 16 celsius in tokyo. still a few showers coming in behind. just around the east, china say pushing up towards yellow sea, but it clears through as we go on through sunday. a much better day on sunday. still a few showers there to japan into the korean peninsula, but for china general dry, fine, and sunny, that sunshine and showers across indo china, the showers a little more widespread than they have been recently. some went to weather, coming back in across a good part of vietnam, sliding through laos, into cambodia. maybe it's thailand as well, in a scattering a showers that particular cross northern parts of the philippines. they are going to be somewhat heavier than they have been recently scattering a showers to into malaysia into indonesia, and still want to showers just coming to western parts of india. but for the most part, it's all about the heat. temperature is well above average, getting up into the forty's already want to shout into northern parts of pakistan, but still pretty hot here. ah,

jump into the screen here. percent of the population globally is responsible for about 15 percent of carbon emissions showing the debate equal already lost their life. people help those dad called just people how those traditions have your say, want to broaden this conversation by bringing more voices into it. live on you to people commenting. i want the whole world to know that traffic is far not headed, directed. she's always treated with the powers that be how this stream on the al jazeera lou, the me your ordering august. reminder, which is a long delay prisoners swap is on the way in yemen between booking levels on the

satellite coalition. around 800 people, least the 1st movie arrived in, but have been reunited with their fans. 21 year old jack to shed as appeared in boston cor, charged with the removal of the attention of classified documents. which connection with the leak of top secret pentagon files? 101 says he was a deliberate criminal act. chinese president, she's been paying has called for deeper practical cooperation with brazil. he's holding talks with his brazilian counterpart who is a national alluded to sell, but she says relations with brazil. and now a diplomatic priority. china is brazil's biggest trading partner to leaders also discuss the water new crane with the stress, the nice but dialogue and negotiation. earlier i spoke to richard kimble who's been following the visit from hong kong. president luda has brought with him a delegation of some 200 business representatives in the hope of caching in as much

as possible on this trip. some of those trade deals will involve semiconductors, someone involved agriculture agreement that also involved carbon credits. so the climate change targets. there's also expectations present to la will try and make the most of an appointment made just yesterday of the former brazilian president dilner roost to head up a new development bank that will oversee investment projects that will manage all the efforts being made in developing countries that are part of the bricks framework that of course, being brazil, russia, india, china, and south africa and for brazil to be heading that now at a time and president lula is in town, is again seen as a great opportunity him to make the most of broadening out it's important chinese economic relationship. we expectation is that president, leader is going to propose to president she to build out china, his own piece proposal for the russia ukraine situation by setting out what's being dumped as a league of nations effectively to work together on trying to make that peace deal work the analyst up in speaking to here today,

you see the benefit to brazil of doing that is it will give president lula and brazil more global cache to be part of some kind of international effort to try and broker a peace deal. the benefit to china, they say, is to try and give china more international credibility for his piece of it, which is so far, not really had the backing, specifically of any large overseas nations. instead, it's just felt scrutiny and suspicion from the part of the us and its allies, largely because of china's very close relationship with russia. john is foreign minister said that aging will not do anything that could escalate the conflict in ukraine, including providing weapons to on this side. they made those marks during a press briefing with the visiting german foreign minister, she called in china to pressure russia to put an end to the warning ukraine. i think most often the harness 5 of them. i have to wonder why the chinese positioning so far does not include a call for the address there. russia to stop the war. we all know that president

pruden would have the opportunity to show at any time. and the people in ukraine would like nothing more. i shall finally be able to live in again from the actual war, but they shall. i one point i want to emphasize is that china's role in the ukraine issue and our proposition boils down to one point that is to persuade and promote toggling off of we will not do anything to add fuel to the flames. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski says he's confident his country will soon become a member of the european union. the claim was granted candidate status last year, but it has to meet some economic and political conditions. the process may take many years to prove that i held a meeting with the government officials and members of parliament to discuss some of our steps towards the european union. are you able to legislative steps and implementation of the adopted changes? our country's goal is absolutely achievable up ukraine will be integrated with all

the institutions and practices of the european union and will become a full member. we are fully prepared, april and the you and while through program says it's just weeks away from being unable to feed hundreds of thousands of refugees in chad. it says it needs emergency international funding to get food to the regions largest refugee population. unrest and neighboring sudan is driving numbers up the w. f. peace country director is called the situation catastrophic. 2023 is another very difficult year. where my we are absolutely no funding from may on the world or the refugees and displaced people. it's really catastrophic. we did receive an extra funding in 2022, but the leads were to importer. and because we need to other the dominance of charge and suffering of celia food insecurity during the in caesar plus another $300.00 doesn't that we're floods affected people and our resorts were far too much

on needs. francis constitutional council is going to make a ruling, and the government changes to pension law the coming hours on thursday. people across france joins nationwide protests against the plan to raise the retirement age. $62.00 to $64.00. they're angry after president manuel macro force to build through parliament without a vote. natasha boss of explains what could happen next. what happens now will probably determine whether the protest continue in france or whether they will fade away. this is process constitutional counsel examine bill. it has been looking at the french president, him, i know mike called pension reform, or a full that my call says is necessary to modernize the pension system. it also raised a retirement age by 2 years to $64.00. it is a reform that's been quite unpopular and even in my room, i call me because much. yeah, yeah, there was certainly social descent again,

this form, but it doesn't mean that everything should stop. so we are all getting on with our work. will the constitutional council will deliver its verdict on the bill, it will either approve it as it is, and then it claims to come law. it will prove it bought, suggest some modifications, but it will still become law eventually. or it could scrap it now, scrapping it is what frances trade unions would like. they have made major demonstration against this reform since the beginning of the year. they say the reform is unfair and they also don't like the way in which the french government push the reform to parliament by decree. something that they say is on democratic sit down like it was a decision aimed at stifling the massive social movement and trying to control parliament. and we absolutely reject it. and then one that emit, found them trading and said that if the bill is not withdrawn, then they will continue to protest. whatever happens all this has had an impact on macro and his government said,

i try to keep on it. it's going to be very complicated for the president. now, all this is damages, prime minister, his party and him as the flag bearer. this device it perform men. so he will need to prove that he can continue after forms without resorting to forcing them through by decree, but without a parliamentary majority it will be very difficult for me. if in the end, the constitutional counsel does approve the bill, even with some modifications, it will soon be signed into law by my girl, and is likely to come into effect in september. asha butler, i'll just sarah perry is north west coast as being hit by the most powerful tropical storm in years and starts on ill says may landfall near port headland, a major hub for iron or exports people in several communities. i'm told to stay in doors. many living the saxons past, been evacuated, and rock old rainfall has triggered widespread flooding in the us state of florida . the national weather service described it as a one in

a 1000 year event. fort lauderdale has declared a state of emergency. the european space agency has successfully launched a mission to jupiter, to look for conditions necessary for life beyond our planet. it's going to explore the planet and 3, which i see moves in an 8 year journey column. baker reports the fiery start of a 12 year mission to pier below ice on another world. the jupiter icy moon's explorer or juice, is looking for alien oceans that might harbor life. it will study calisto europa and ganymede. 3 of the biggest moons orbiting the nearest gas giant earth. as well as jupiter itself on fat on put yeah, could ship it there. we can say the jupiter is like many. so the system imagined the jupiter at the i center is like the star in the iceland, like the planet fight. yes, there you. scientists believe each hides a dark ocean,

100 kilometers deep or more beneath the pock marked icy surfaces on earth. jupiter is one of the brightest objects in the night sky. these moons are visible through a basic telescope, but it's 600000000 to 1000000000 kilometers away from earth. and getting near without relying on its own fuel means juice needs the gravitational pull of several planets, including our own to pick up enough speed. after leaving earth it's planned, the juice will make one orbit around the sun and then return a few months later to use the gravity of both earth and the moon to gain more speed . venus will give it a push in august 2025. before it again passes earth in 20262029. it'll then travel at top speed toward jupiter. that'll catch it in 2031. it will have 4 years to find and measure the oceans. our instruments is a reader, low frequency reader data as a default who song analysis of the soft surface,

all good dicey moons. so we look her into the mysteries of the soft surface because we can penetrate her for about an kilometers. magnetometers will measure how these oceans move juice will map materials on the moon surfaces in detail and take photographs. it will spend most of its time in orbit around ganymede, a rare moon that has its own magnetic field services. so to la care to, to chose the real mission of jesus, let find habitability, he does not mean life, it means the conditions for the appearance of life. but that would be a huge step. the pioneering mission is to the end in july 2035 by then juice will be withered by jupiter's harsh radiation and crash into ganymede mission accomplished colin baker al jazeera ah.
