If it werent for the typhoon we would have continued our fishing trip for another two or three months but because of the typhoon we had to head back early on its been a while since a typhoon hit the region but we have to take serious precautions to protect our lives and properties its not safe out on the open sea at the moment thats why we have to come back to take shelter. Right has more from the island and then around the philippines where the storm has caused death and traction this is the township was to god its probably one of the worst affected areas of one of the worst affected provinces in mindanao we are down river was the site of a surge of water that came through here i can stand back and just give you a quick look at the kind of damage and trail of destruction that it left a torrent of water came down here leaving all of these boulders some of them the size of cars these werent here a couple of days ago taking with it the surge of water more than a hundred houses sadly twenty nine people are confirmed to have died here a number of the bodies are being kept in a makeshift morgue surely just a short distance away while the search continues in this area for a further sixteen people who are missing and the search is being conducted some six kilometers downstream it gives you an idea of the strength of the power of the water that came through here all of mindanao like this area are assessing the damage from this storm and looking at ways of being more prepared the next time as the philippines as it is one of the most disaster prone countries in the world does take Disaster Preparedness very seriously and invest a lot in infrastructure also in Awareness Training to be ready for the next time but here in mindanao given the security situation it is an added complexity it makes it harder to introduce any of those plans but the philippines has to think in terms of introducing those things given what we are seeing people tell us here about stronger storms and people certainly here believe it is the evidence of Climate Change that the storms are going to be the shape of things to come. The head of the Roman Catholic church has used his christmas message to call for a negotiated two state solution to end the Israeli Palestinian conflict its the second time pope francis has spoken out since u. S. President ronald trumps recognition of true islam is israels capital earlier this month pope francis says talks are the only way to find peace. But if. We see jesus in the children of the middle east who continue to suffer because of growing tensions between israelis and palestinians on this festive day let us ask the lord for peace for jerusalem and for all the holy land let us pray that the will to resume dialogue may prevail between the parties and that a negotiated solution can be finally reached one that would allow the peaceful coexistence of two states within mutually agreed and internationally recognized borders. Or from rome. This is only the second time the pope francis has spoken in public about the trump plan for a capital in jerusalem he said when he first heard that and that was on december sixth he was profoundly concerned and i think there are some people in the people ive spoken to here that will hoping perhaps for something a little stronger in this long awaited message i mean hes hes mentioned the middle east every every christmas message since two thousand and thirteen and i think there was a feeling that he could have articulated his his concern and a little stronger and referenced drusilla in the context of this this are people that theyre facing now.

This was no surprise at all really how mean i have been talking with colleagues yesterday and weve been speculating that there was maybe a small chance that the tightly controlled russian president ial system the electoral system here would be given a bit of a shake up and maybe there would be some fresh life breathed into it most people are assuming that putin is going to march towards a fourth term in office when the elections are held in march next year but no that was not to be the thirteen member panel of the Central Election Committee decided twelve votes with one abstention they were going to bar the from running against putin now the the argument they use is that he has this prior convictions and therefore is ineligible no valley has always said that although that may be the election rules actually the constitution which should have primacy says that any one of sound mind who is not in jail can run in the elections so hes going to take this to the constitutional courts to watch them to make a decision this was a Heated Exchange at times he was saying that the panel should do the right thing for once in their lives that nobody is holding a gun to their heads and that they should stop messing around with the election the panel fired back saying that he was brainwashing kids that he was disrespecting the Election Commission and that they hinted he was politically irrelevant anyway now what is now and we do next will of course are said hes going to take this to the constitutional courts but he is also saying that his supporters should boycott the election and he is saying that yes there will be street process they havent set a date for these yet but hes saying that when the protests hits they will be nationwide.

Are estimates twenty people are forcibly displaced every minute as a result of conflict or persecution. And of course millions of people have been displaced by the war in syria thats one of the stories weve been looking at. Families and part three its one Family Living in the. Makes a living selling what ever he can find he was once a farmer and owned his own land. Now hes among the millions of syrians this place by the war and theyre able to survive without assistance. Im not ashamed to say this there are days when im able to provide food for my family and there are other days when im not able to do that the other day i have to take two of my children to the hospital because they didnt have enough food to.

If given the choice to leave or stay and live under the regimes rule i will choose to leave i dont trust them they will eventually kill us. They starved us they killed our children. Rebels and refused to surrender but government pressure is growing already hundreds of thousands of syrians have been bused out of their towns and villages and taken to the rebel controlled problems of in the north the Syrian Government calls them reconciliation agreements for the opposition those deals are forced settlements and. I dont think those who are forced to go to will ever return to their homes this is sports displacement who knows who they will give our country to its been almost two years since Government Forces began to crush popular dissent from a position of strength the leadership is imposing its own peace but it is a peace that is unacceptable to many syrians who now fear not having a place in their own country.

Politicians and Decision Makers and south korea are torn about a plan to continue construction of two Nuclear Power plants following a major earthquake the five point four magnitude quake in early november reignited public concern about whether the country can still be considered a seismic safe zone now five hundred strong panel of experts is due to report kathy novak reports from sun. This is south koreas scenic southeastern region a popular Tourist Destination home to stretches of coastline and eighteen uclear reactors so when a magnitude five point four earthquake forced more than a thousand people to evacuate their homes in november some wondered if those Nuclear Reactors are safe she is so worried shes been protesting in the streets that its almost impossible but. I was so scared when the earthquake happened here i had evacuated from my building but when the tremors continued the thought of the Nuclear Power plants exploding haunt me once. More reactors are on the way during the Election Campaign president promised to halt their construction but he reversed that position after public consultations found the majority of people wanted the existing projects completed the Environmental Organization greenpeace want safety reexamined we saw the. Significant increase of the people who are concerned about the safety of Nuclear Reactors to tourists. The twenty eleven fukushima disaster in japan happened just across the sea its not hard for South Koreans to imagine the worst Case Scenario but a tsunami triggered by a magnitude nine earthquake caused of that catastrophe and experts say that sort of event would be extremely unlikely here in a statement korea hydro a Nuclear Power the company that runs this plant says the newest reactors being built here are designed to withstand earthquakes sixty three times more powerful than the five point eight magnitude quake that hit the nearby city of film due in twenty sixteen that was south koreas strongest earthquake since records began in one nine hundred seventy eight. Locals are still rebuilding many replacing traditional ceramic roof tiles with more affordable and sturdy metal sheets even if future earthquakes damaged homes again uclear power advocates say the plants are designed to contain any radiation leaks that define a physical barrier the capture containment is Strong Enough to withstand any kind of the significant creek john young hoon says Nuclear Power must be part of south koreas Energy Supply the government still wants to phase it out over time in the meantime the Energy Ministry has told South Koreans that close inspection of power plants revealed no damage from the latest earthquake kathy novak aljazeera olsen in south korea. Two thousand and seventeen saw the emergence of Driverless Cars and trucks being tested on roads in the u. S. And u. K. Developer say more than a million lives a year could be saved without humans behind the wheel as accidents of the almost eradicated but that could also mean a loss of millions of jobs and instructors and drivers are calling on politicians to explain where new jobs would come from or in slave reports. In this brave new world events official intelligence the first direct effect on all our lives will be in transport its already begun and it will change humanity in many ways its well enough known by now that Driverless Cars and lorries are being childs the future were told may involve our children not having to learn how to drive please press the automation button to raise the car to go to me to move a satirical was this one even sitting in a simulator you feel a lack of control as you dont grip the wheel or press the brakes dragging on for real involves a leap of faith Whose Mission you know that is true the thing to the Steering Wheel you are now free to engage in other times the engineers here assure the technology is good enough for driverless travel motorways if not in congested cities because theres too much going on. You know this is extremely busy and complex environment with lots of potential destructors people running across roads. So i think thats probably too complex weve certainly trying to contemporary think automation both on the motorway and in urban environments. They dont work at all in urban environments and even on motorways they require regular interventions by human drive less. The future it seems may be a combination of systems moving us from port to driverless port modern rail systems near airports are driverless and people use those quite happily the paths of the cars through space would be similar to if there were you know some physical guide to them so i think in some cases so long as the as the speeds are fairly low its probably a safe proposition true believers in driverless transport say we will be able to sleep or work in our vehicle but if that sounds good it will also mean the loss of millions of jobs no wonder trades unions want to know how those jobs will be replaced were looking to see massive massive investment in electric vehicles driverless vehicles future mobility we need a great leap forward its easy to understand this concern in the u. K. There was a massive shock when car factories which had traditionally employed thousands of people all shut because of foreign competition this used to be the jackie were factory in the West Midlands now its going to be a warehouse the advent of Driverless Cars and wide automation could be a far greater shock still the British Government reckons that Driverless Cars could create up to thirty thousand jobs in the u. K. Which sounds ok until you hear evidence that says that in this part of england alone automation could cost three hundred thousand jobs it becomes pretty clear that governments like the one in britain in the job strategy for automation and quickly were asked to consider a world in which no humans at the wheel of a vehicle means accidents will not happen more than a million lives will be saved every year driverless vehicles will be on the roads and soon but will human souse jobs rely on transport except them and can we learn to trust the machines to safeguard the lives of those we love lawrence lee al jazeera london.
