is of billions of dollars and subsidies and programs to encourage young people to have children. despite this, the average number of babies as job korean women will have fell further below one last tier 20.78. only 4 percent of women here between the ages of 20 and 34 viewed marriage and having children as essential. i'm worried about a big cold in our national security, as fewer people be available to serve in the military. with many young south koreans struggling with day to day career and financial challenges analyst are calling for innovative schemes to tackle the problem. ah, sporadic fighting continues and the sudanese capital was a week long extension to the cease fire between the army and the rapid support

forces comes into effect. ah, you're watching al jazeera life from a headquarters in delphi. i'm getting obligated also coming up a ceasefire is also in place between palestinians are in groups and gaza. and israel following overnight attacks from both sides, me and mars military gentle releases more than 2000 political prisoners following a sweeping crack down on descent on the call to end. the threats and attacks faced by journalists is highlighted on world press freedom day. ah, hello, we begin in sudan where warplanes have flown over khartoum and neighboring areas on tuesday night. despite the extension of a cease fire, smoke could be seen hanging over the capital city on wednesday morning for being

between the army and rapid support forces continued near the presidential palace. a new 7 day seas far was announced on tuesday following mediation efforts. by so, sedans, presidents of a cure, it's due to come into effect on thursday. hey, morgan is joining us life hard soon. so bring us up to speed with what's happening on the ground ahead of that. she's far extension. i'm the new ceasefire. well it's the 3rd day of the sixty's fire and people on the ground in the northern parts of the capitol fi. it's going pretty much like the rest of the sea fires. it's worth noting, but this is due to and, and there is supposedly, another one that is due to start and it's going to be longer than the previous t 5. but the sudanese army and the rapid support for that are yet to officially confirm that there will be an extension of the currency fire for another 7 days. been fighting around the presidential palace with the sounds of heavy artillery being heard. now the rapid support forces are in control of the palace,

but difficulties army from the very 1st day of the fighting have been trying to regain control of it because of its within the, to the general command of the army. and because it's signifies the symbol of the nation and it's the office of the president, generalize them for the hon has previously stated that they will be talks with b r f. but it's going to be focused on them leaving the military institution and not to reach a deal with them. the rapid support forces officers that foresee fire for any talks to happen, they should be a sci fi in place. and right now that is not happening. there's been any strikes in the northern part of the capitol hot soon. we can see heavy plumes of smoke rising from various parts of that area as well as around the vicinity of the presidential palace. so on the ground, this $660.00 fire, which is due to expire in a few hours, is not manifesting itself. and it's not clear if the receptionist needs army will extended by yet another 7 days. so how about how are people then in her tune coping with all of this?

while there are 2 ways to cope now in the northern parts of the capital, people say that they've been trapped in their homes. been without power or running water for the 3rd week. now, many of them say that for them to be able to get their basic necessities, necessities, like groceries. they have to cross the bridge into the western part of the capital into the city of undermanned, where there has been fighting as well. but it's been relatively quieter compared to the northern part of the capital. so they say that they have to cross the bridge and come back and they have to be very careful because of the increase in robberies, armed robberies and losing. so they all consent for people who are living in the northern part of the capital. and the ne, when it comes to the southern part of the capital, it's been relatively more quiet. people say that they've been able to accept markets, but prices of commodities have increased and they don't have the cash because of banks, not operating simple thoughts of the conflicts. but many of them say that they're waiting to see where this goes to. there's a lot of uncertainty. people are not sure whether they should talk up on commodities or whether this is going to and many of them say they have questions on

what's happening in the capital and around the country at the moment. okay, have a thank you. so much have morgan bringing us the updates from to me. well, rose, people are still trying to leave that fighting behind and many are taking a 13 hour bus journey from cartoon to ports to don. that's where citizens on for national sometimes wait for days to board ships. the journey is tense, with checkpoints by both the army and the rapids were forces along the way. so they extension to the true set ounce by so sedans, foreign ministry, fighting in the past few days has intensified and undermine as well as the neighborhood of body is. hipaa was just reporting rival size have been battling for control of the presidential palace. and to me and traditional airport military air strikes have also targeted period military positions to the north of the capital in butting. more people continue to lease it done as the humanitarian situation worse . and i was 0 hammer that i drove through some areas of body to the north of

costume, which has been experiencing airstrikes since monday had kind of to some. but we've been driving around different areas of hell. it hammered new, hard to me. which made headlines recently, we have not seen any sign of damage or destruction as you can see. all doors firmly locked. the majority of the people here have already left because there's no electricity or water off in the water plants supplying the area was shut down. they were left with no option but to get water directly from the nile river or the few make shift wells in the area. similarly, commercial shops are closed and there is almost nobody on the streets. a few people have stayed behind to protect their property against theft or losing. we spoke to some of them and they said the fighting between the army and the rapid support forces did not last long. in this area. at least 55 people had been killed in

flooding, triggered by heavy rains and western, were wanda officials say they have also been injuries. many people have been trapped in their homes. rescuers have been deployed to affected areas. a face fire between israel and arn, palestinian groups and gaza appears to be holding a day off to rocket attacks and air strikes. the latest violence followed the death of the prominent palestinian prisoner that none who had been on hunger strike in an is really jail. the sirens were heard across southern israel as arm grooves fired. a barrage of rockets in response is really middle military said it's just head sites belonging to hum us human to say it reports on the latest escalation from gaza. city and israeli air strikes that were carried in response to the rocket launch from the gaza strip in the early hours of the tuesday and continuing and in the next hours after that

all through the day. these air strikes have come, had been carried in different areas because the strip actually from north to south, off because the strip, many military camps belonging to brigades, the military wing of these military camps or mtv military count. this is the usual routine in anticipation of escalation. these military accounts were targeted with miss styles f 16 as well. and the latest was agricultural land in newness that's in the southern part of because the strip. now the strikes have also targeted the national security building belonging to the government running because the strip here,

basically these are the targets that have been pounded with miss styles in gaza until now me and mars military genta has pardons more than 2000 prisoners to mark a buddhist festival and relatives gathered outside yang on insane prison where the inmates were jailed. they were detained under a law which carries a 3 year jail term, but criminalizes descent against the military. more than 21000 people have been detained since the military took power in a 2021 to will bring and tony chang, he's joining us from bangkok. so are those released exclusively political prisoners, tony? yes, they are. and very specifically for the charge of 5 or 5 a, the inclusion of then the penal code of dissent against the military punishes those who are responsible for fake news or inciting against the military. these were new laws which have been imposed since the military coup in february 2021. so it is

a very narrow group of people. nonetheless, it was very unexpected. a prisoner amnesty is not uncommon in myanmar, but they usually happen over big national holidays. like the new year festival independence, they are armed forces day. this is not one of those days, and i don't think any one in young gone was expecting this. nonetheless, it is a significant number of people were not expecting any high profile political prisoners to they. those who were charged under 5 or 5 a are usually sentenced to their 3 year jail term. we are, however, expecting a number of journals. in fact, al jazeera has spoken to a photojournalist who was in the 1st batch of releases to come out of insane prison . he said he was, he was very relieved to be out. he'd been arrested in december 2021. during one of the silence tree protests, but he did also mentioned that some of those arrested with him have died in custody . and i think this will highlight the,

the apply to those who remain in jail. so what do we make of the timing of this? and as to why this, amnesty is happening now. well, it is slightly curious. it does coincide with the visits of the chinese foreign minister to myanmar. he's in napa door of the moans out of a 2 day trip. and china has been gently nudging the mere mars jointer i think, to be a little more open. or we saw earlier in the year, the chinese behind a pilot scheme to try and bring their anger back to ra, kind state where more than a 1000000 refugees remain in camps in bangladesh. that scheme hasn't started yet, but the chinese govern was, or the chinese embassy was given credit for being behind that. and we saw the chinese foreign minister ting, gung talk he before he arrived in miramar on the board about the need to get trade working again. and china is very keen to see those trade relations open again. and

i think it has been disturbed by the disruption had seen him myanmar since the military coup. none the less but missouri, mia mas miniature, don't. it has been pretty impervious to exterior pressure. we saw a band came moon there a couple of weeks ago on a somewhat controversial ship. the former un secretary general, trying to engage with the generals in the capitol nador. and there is increasing pressure from outside. i think also, man mars leaders realizing that they can't remain as isolated as they were. there's they have been over the last 22 years since thank you so much. tony chang reporting from bank hawk. the united nation says it will remain in afghanistan to deliver aid despite last month's ban on its female staff by the taliban. the secretary general antonio terrace made that announcement after a 2 day meeting of more than 20 countries in catera. to discuss international

concerns about the situation in afghanistan, the participants are words about the stability of afghanistan and best expressed those serious concerns. they relate to the persistent presence of various organizations, the risk for the country, the region, and for a bit of fields. the lack of inclusive iffy, which importantly includes human rights in particular, those of minimum girls severely undermined by recent volleyball decisions and the spread of the dr. freaking with all it's that emetic consequences as i'm, i've been job aid has more on the significance of that. and gathering it was healed as a crucial meeting involving the united nations, its future work in a lot of fun and all its partners that they have been discussing. what is going to be their role in of going to son to provide much needed humanitarian assistance.

and respond to the restrictions that have come with the taliban in charge of a finest on to discuss that with this is the minutes mr. state for foreign affairs of pakistan, henry bonnie car, thank you very much for talking to us. you've been involved and as a partner of the united nations and a neighbor of of gone to sun, what is the future of of been assigned because it seems that the taliban are no longer involved in the conversation and they're not hearing what the international community is saying okay, what is the future? is your question? i think it seems that the taliban are not enrolled. i think. ok. first of all on the question, what is the future? the future lies in the hands of the in term of one government in many ways. as to what doors the open for themselves to the process of engagement with the rest of the world rather than disengagement. i think that's one. and the future. live also with the international community to make sure that they are not completely they're

not involved in the process of shutting doors to opportunities to ordinary funds. so it's a 2 way street. right? i think as an immediate neighbor over the sun, we obviously have deep concerns about the spill off from the push factors which are i think the one the sun leading to more and more flow of people in focus on which has its own challenges. we have always talked about the challenges that exist for the sun, which are coming in through some you know, organizations which are using a fun soil to be able to launch attacks. that's also a reality which is based on the situation on the ground. and you know, some other concerns that are regional, that immediate neighbors has stella head on al jazeera us braces. first serge, if migrants along its southern border as a controversial asylum law is set to expire.

ah frank assessments. justice means to give them the basic human rights, not only in the camp, but also inside the men muck informed. opinions by administration are very concerned about this development especially, or what it means for china's power on the world states critical debate. now only both the legal revoke, so what they see, the 3 i think that you're going to progress in depth analysis of the days headlines inside story on al jazeera ah t a pushing with

one or 2 global perspectives. mm. the o. a hello gun. the top stories on 01 person has been killed and 5 others injured and is really air strikes and gaza face fire agreed upon late last night between israel and the palestinian groups appears to be holding. this comes after the death of

a prominent palestinian figure who was on hunger strike in an is really prison. fighter jets are flying over hard to me and neighboring areas. this bite, the extension of the cease fire. fighting between the army and the rapids for forces has continued near the presidential palace. me and more military has pardons, more than 2000 prisoners to march of buddhist festival. more than 21000 people have been detained since the military took power in a 2021. the biden administration is sending 1500 soldiers to the border with mexico to deal with increasing number of asylum seekers or trying to enter the united states. the surge comes ahead of next week's relaxation of pandemic era restrictions, which allowed border officials to turn away tens of thousands of migrants particle haine. as the latest i'm having a direct impact. another $1500.00 us soldiers and marines will be arriving on the southern border. as soon as next week to join the 2500 national guard troops.

they're already there. the reason it goes back to cov it former president donald trump, made no secret of his disdain. for migrants, he used the covert emergency to enact a plan to turn back migrants to mexico, before they could ask for asylum called title 42, which president joe biden kept in place. but on may went, the cobit emergency is officially over, and authorities expect as many as 11000 people will try to cross the border without documents each week. but biden is change the rules of what will happen when they get here. now anyone ca crossing without permission will be presumed to not qualify for asylum, may use easier to send them back immediately unless they can prove they were denied asylum in another country. immigration advocates are outraged biden's record been very effective as taking away access to asylum, limiting access to us and and,

and so in my view, not great, and protecting the rights of, of my friends and family speakers and honoring their humanity. divide administration says it is allowing access for people to claim asylum if they make a very hard to get appointment at the border crossing. it is also change the role, so the $30000.00 migrants from cuba, haiti, nicaragua, and venezuela can come to the us every month if they apply and have a local sponsor. the military is downplaying. the significance of the move military personnel will not directly participate in law enforcement activities while this request is for 90 days. i would point out the d. o. d has supported d h s. on the southwest border for 18 of the last 22 years. and every year since 2006, a long standing issue that has divided the nation and has seen presidents from both parties, promising to stop the flow of people so far to little affect how to call him al

jazeera washington. lisa, texas, have arrested a man accused of killing 5 of his neighbors in cleveland. police said 38 year old francisco or pays fled after the shooting. an 8 year old boy was one of the victims or pays. i was accused of opening fire after the neighbors asked them to stop firing a semi automatic weapon on his property, columbia, government, and national liberation army, gorilla to resume peace talks in cuba, capital, havana. this is the 3rd round the talks and agreeing to cease fire. since president gustavo petro restarted a peace process with the ela and last year, there had been fears and ago she ation could stole after guerrillas killed 9 soldiers in an ambush in march. and you were sen, that's called on the biden administration to release the findings of a report on the killing of al jazeera journalist shooting our claim. it's been nearly a year since shooting was shot by is really forces during

a raid and janine and the occupied west bank. no one has been held accountable. senator chris van hollan has called for the full assessments by the united states security coordinator, be made available without any edits for congressional review. so citizens killing and the fates of many journalists killed or in prison isn't sharp focus on world press freedom day 3 imprisoned. iranian women journalists will be given a un award us kristen salumi reports. it's a day to reinforce the importance of a free press. after a year, 167 journalists globally have been killed in the line of duty day, but violence is only one of the threats. they face. wall street journal reporter evan glasgow, which was arrested in russia on march 29th. he's being held on charges of espionage accusations. the newspaper vehemently denies. that's appalling. and it says

it's got punch and people are feeling that it's personal ab. and there's also a bigger thought that as a reporter this could be you. al jazeera has 2 journalists imprisoned in egypt, but the network spear achieved for the americas had some good news. this guy, he santa glaze's, at he, is in al jazeera correspondence. it was detained in egypt without trial. the good news is that he was released 2 days ago that it's been mossey, alina. john, is an iranian american journalist, exiled from her homeland when to san each other. and we have to be unite. she spoke about the importance of recognizing the 3 imprisoned iranian women whose reporting led to massive demonstrations for women's rights. they are the recipients of this year's guillermo khana, world press freedom prize. they actually risk their lives and they took action against the islamic republic. this is what we need to see across the globe.

otherwise, these amicably has no reason to stop jailing and torturing its own journalist. an activist al jazeera journalist rena blah clay is also being remembered with the screening of an al jazeera documentary about how she was shot and killed by israeli forces as she covered their actions nearly one year ago. to date, no one has been held accountable, but the forum was not just about the physical risk to journalists. it also address the challenges of maintaining free speech, an air of dis, information, and the harassment of so called influencers online like felipe nato and brazil, whose youtube channel has 40000000 followers. being accused of the things i was, i was accused was of the hardest thing i ever had to deal with. and, and it's one thing they tried to do when they can corrupt you. they tried to

corrupt her soul and your image in the eyes of the audience world press freedom day is about more than highlighting the perils of journalists, is a reminder that the free flow of information is essential to preserving every one's rights. kristin salumi al jazeera, the united nations ceremonial troops have practiced marching in central london at midnight as preparations ramp up for the coronation of king charles. the royal carriage will transport the king on the queen consort between westminster abbey in buckingham palace. for the ceremony on may, the 6th, more than $6000.00 military personnel will be taking part in not parades. researchers in the us have used a i language tools to roughly interpret human thoughts in 3 participants. neurosciences had been experimenting with new methods to interpret the brain signals for over a decade with limited success. and this new approach uses a language model similar to the,

to the system used by chat gpc to learn model and predict what a subject is thinking. alexander hoss is an assistant professor in the department of computer science and neuroscience at the university of texas. he says gpc tools are allowing sciences to look deeper into the workings of the brain. we put people in every machine and we had them listen to many hours of podcasts. and then we use this data to build up models that relate the words that they're hearing in these podcasts to their brain activity. and then the 2nd step, we can take the brain activity we record and try to figure out what the words where that the person heard or even with the words whether the person was thinking. so these tools like g p t, which is what we're using here. it turns out that they're actually very good models of how language processing works in the human brain. so whatever these models are doing inside them is well matched to things that are happening all over our brain that represents the meaning of language that you hear or think or speak. we

generally avoid the term mind reading. we don't really know what that means. we call it brain reading, we can read out what's happening in the brain. but of course, this is kind of scary, right? this is potentially an invasion of mental privacy. so we did a lot of work to figure out the limits of what we're doing when it comes to mental privacy. for example, we tested whether this model could be applied to someone new who hadn't gone through this whole training process and we found that it couldn't. we also found that if a person wanted to disrupt it, they could just think different thoughts and that would make it not work. yes, so we're excited about how this could be used to help people who have lost the ability to communicate. for example, from a brain stem stroke or motor neuron disease, these people could really benefit from another way to, to speak. but i think this is going to get a lot better in the coming years for sure. us traffic police officer and the lucky escape a car crash, a routine traffic stop at a highway in virginia. take

a look. dash count footage from his patrol car shows a sports car losing control on the opposite lane and then smashes into the area where the fairfax county officer was conducting a traffic stop. so the sports car hit the officer, the stop car as well as the police vehicle and the officer on drivers of both the vehicle suffered minor injuries. the under age driver of the car was charged with reckless driving. that's it for me. thanks for watching more information as always on our website, al jazeera dot com, the weather is next then inside. story examines how much of a threat to dance conflict is to chad. thanks for watching. bye bye. ah. let's roll with here

a weather update for europe in africa. great to have ye along. so we got this vigorous system spinning up in the central mediterranean. it means a lot of rain for southern italy, greece and especially albania, on wednesday. but we can trace this even further north, so a run of some showers through budapest, so vakio pushing into the western side of ukraine. and we could trace it even north of this, as we looked toward a bell ruse, and the western side of russia in time wins have shifted around. so paris, you're going to max out at 20 degrees on wednesday, london, you're still searching for your 1st 20 degree day of the year. now this same system will throw more cloud cover for the western side of turkey. so mostly cloudy in antalya for the other side of the mediterranean at we're break in that he part of the reason we've got re moving in to the coast of portugal, the northwest of spain. good seville, 33 degrees, that's still above average, but certainly not as hot as it has been. northerly wind also means the temperature and new ox shot is at $35.00. so not as hot there either. as we dip to the south, a quite a clutch of storms,

but i think honestly it's mostly going to stay over the open water but could still catch a straight shower for kazoo luna, tell province in south africa and southern mozambique. i'll put her coming in at 29 degrees. that's it for me more later on. ah, a meeting of mine when i was studying the canon and the curriculum that we were taught was handed down from elsewhere. it was an inherited curriculum. that is the image of architecture in the way architect, simeha valley and alexandra ravenna. part one there was, you mean or something that social housing cannot provide, which is personal expression. fright studio b. unscripted on al jazeera chad house. hundreds of thousands of refugees from $2.00 or more have been boring it since the latest fighting began last month.
