A cargo ship has been found off the coast of the japanese capital after authorities lost track of it during typhoon haiyan base. The ship was anchored off the coast of callus aka city just south of tokyo but contact was lost on saturday local media reports at least 5 of the 12 crew members have been killed and that while for people to be rescued 3 others still missing the Japanese Transport Ministry says the crew are from me and ma china and vietnam meanwhile tens of thousands of troops have been deployed to help with rescue and cleanup efforts after the typhoon ripped through the countrys eastern coast at least 26 people were killed in the storm and many more still missing when he said this report from tokyo those living in the path of typhoon were told to expect a short sharp burst of violent weather it soon became clear that the main feature of this storm was a huge amount of rainfall some areas saw around a meter of rain in 24 hours and waterways simply couldnt cope one of the worst hit areas was not good no prefecture west of japans capital tokyo where a 70 meters stretch of the levee gave way many homes and businesses were flooded and japans famous bullet trains were surrounded by water and going nowhere fast or slow. The major typhoon has caused extensive damage far and wide in eastern japan one point the special warning for heavy rain was issued for as many as 13 prefixes there has also been emergency relief from various dams and flooding of various rivers it turned out to be a record heavy rain coastal areas were battered by huge waves and winds exceeding 200 kilometers an hour before i caught them on the building shook in the elec tricity went off for a moment that was really scary as the typhoon approached a tornado made landfall in chiba prefecture destroying houses many communities here was still recovering from a typhoon that struck last month. For most in the path of the storm it came at night. The streets of tokyo were eerily quiet as businesses closed and people were urged to stay home by day it became easier to assess the damage and carry out search and rescue operations millions were ordered or advised to evacuate but some chose not to leave their homes or couldnt get out in time. The storm was compared in size and strength to a typhoon that struck tokyo in 1958 leaving more than 1200 people dead modern japan has become well drilled in dealing with the threat of natural disasters and it seems this time it was as well prepared as it could be. Was japans 19th typhoon this year but those who experienced it say this was one of the most intense in decades many are relieved it was relatively brief allowing the recovery to begin quickly wane hey al jazeera tokyo early exit polls in poland indicate that the ruling law and Justice Party has expanded its majority is projected to have come out on top with 43. 6 percent of the vote lost its chief rival the centrist or new Civic Coalition has around 27. 4 percent. Anderson is in warsaw. Now and you are hearing in terms of results. Margin of error i hasten to add with exit polls and polling doesnt have a great reputation for the being smart on accurate but these figures do show a doubts at least that the lord Justice Party has one its just by walts level its there is concern because in fact there was a scare to begin with with the 1st 43. 6 percent being announced. But a conversion to that meaning 223 seats it is in fact 239 seats so it does have a working majority here but theres a long time to go before the counting gets into the real the real result and working out whats happened right the way down the line because the Civic Coalition has made a marginal gain thats the basically the the Center Ground middle right party the Left Coalition which is an amalgam of parties now thats how that effect because they got 11. 9 percent of the vote in 2015 that didnt even register in having an effect on things so it effect it would seem that the lord Justice Party has done a lot to move forward but were hearing from the celebrations that. Weve got a lot but we deserve better is one quotation from their leader so right now it does look at as if theyre going to be going into a 2nd term with all that that will mean with more conflict with the European Union over its policies. What is a nationalist very if a right wing but not by any means but a populist party with a policy is that appeal to donald trump in the u. S. Is a close. Ship there and also a whole pile of measures the sweeteners if you will a given out ahead of this election which have brought on a lot of young people and indeed a lot of families into the picture and as you exit polls say but if they turn out to be accurate what is it in the ruling party to sustain its popularity aside from its weakness that you mentioned. Well what it has done a jury its term its delivered its delivered on its promises which is a distinct thing in politics its delivered family allowances to people with children 100. 00 a month for each child in any family that goes across all social boundaries at the peals to a lot of people particularly the young its also promised 0 rated tax for under 26 year olds in this if it wins and it has one it would seem furthermore its promising a higher minimum wage now there is a rule move on here to change the whole way that poland works a very close tie with the church a very very controversial attitude towards gay rights. Community a community which in the summer saw real division between the country with a whole series of protests taking place one of them which turned violent with attacks on the community this is the single most important cultural issue of this campaign but more than anything else this party intends to push forward whether the European Union likes it or not with its policy of coming down on the media of media control if you will and also penalizing foreign media ownership in order to control the situation itself here in poland thank you very much. 6 months after devastating cyclons left more than 1300. 00 people dead in mozambique its citizens were trying to put the tragedy aside long enough to vote in a general election its a task that wont be easy especially since thousands remain displaced welcome web reports from ticker in so far province one of the hardest hit areas will.

Who met him campaigning in a remote village 7 months ago was on the water was not happy with the governments response even saying that if you dont vote if you dont spend your vote you want to get before so thats what were doing and thats a very bad but the national can do is watching it and not doing anything the sly claims ripped through rose and washed away bridges. Many of which have now been repaired the ruling for lima party says its Recovery Program has been a success. It promises to continue if it stays in power and it denies foul play was one of what about thats not true take the humanitarian aid and give it to the population is that the case thats not true humanitarian aid was distributed in front of the International Community election season might bring handouts and promises from politicians that most cycling victims like to reserve lived in grinding poverty before the storms and since an election wont change that malcolm webb aljazeera mozambique.

See. The renaissance astronomer nikolaus compare nicholas once said for it is the duty of an astronomer to compose the history of the celestial motions through careful and expert study the parent of course was a man who challenge the theories of the universe known to humanity up until the 16th century his observations led to the discovery that the planets revolve around the sun not the earth as people thought deed our celestial objects have been observed and studied since the beginning of time the planets and stars have helped us understand the cause of most the way it functions and its impact on our lives then in the 17th century Galileo Galilei became the 1st astronomer to use a telescope for his observations the rest is cosmic History Today theres one question that most people want answered is there extraterrestrial life. In human and one of tillys many observatories in the atacama desert is the question of extraterrestrial intelligence is ever to be answered it is likely to come from here he is exceptionally blue skies and extremely dry atmosphere make this the ideal location for building the Worlds Largest telescopes in fact so we will soon house 70 percent of global astronomical infrastructure even nasa comes right here to test its robots but what we will all these new facilities help us to discover and how will they change the way that we look at our universe. 2 of chiles top astronomers might yet that is have reese and course him us essential talk to aljazeera. Dr murray at that is a research is known for discovering the brown dwarf star system named one a sub star located in constellation hydra approximately 61 light years away from earth on our planet shes a pioneer the 1st woman to have received a doctorate from Princeton University the 1st woman to receive chiles National Prize for exact sciences and to present the director for the center of excellence in astrophysics dr reddy and that is have raised think you so much for talking to aljazeera very soon chile will hows the worlds 2 largest telescopes the e. L. T. And the giant magellan which would provide i understand direct views of planets in other Solar Systems which would be an astronomical 1st how close will that take us to answering the question that everybody wants the answer to and that is are we alone or arent we we know there are many planets because we see the effect of the planet on the star theyre orbiting but to see the planet is very difficult because the star is so much brighter you know we can agree its life in this planet but we could see their arguments for years and see if theres hogs region for example oxygen was produced by life in on earth and so we hope to study the atmosphere of these. Exoplanets to see if they may lie when you see the universe through these big ice. You are going to see something nobody else has seen before and although you have to justify all the funds to produce to build this instrument is a 1000000000. 00 illusion exactly you say yes to study exoplanets to look at the beginnings of the universe but often the case is that what you see the unknown is the most interesting thing something you cannot predict you know because its like opening a window to the unknown well there is a theory in fact that life on earth began when meteorites or other bodies crashed on to our planet with very very Small Creatures or multicelled beings and that from there animals plants of all then that would me and that they came perhaps from mars we could be actually might not we could be martians. How how feasible is that life is there potentially and for need in the whole universe and when he arrives in a place where you know its comfortable and it can be developed it does so it would not be something particular of earth or mars or you know it could be everywhere in the universe and in some places it can prosper in others cannot but although we have noid didnt i would find very extremely strange that we were would be the only ones in the universe. There are so many so many stars so many planets around them. Im sure you could be. Life in many of them what inspired you to choose a career looking at the at the stars at the sky actually was a lot of us all love at 1st sight you know Something Like that because id never thought about becoming an astronomer although i always liked science and was very curious so i look around and discover there was a perhaps some or practice in palo which is the interim merican observatory and i went there i didnt know anything id and never looked at this guy i dont know why i went with a colleague a student who he knew everything you know and he was really mad at me because i couldnt recognize serious or or any of the big stars important stars in the sky and in the middle of and i say ok go out and try to with a map of the sky and try to find some of the constellations so i went out and you look at the map i just put my eyes it was a dark night we known moon no moon and when you are in a clear place in the mounting you see the horizon below you and i could see the milky way on top of my head. That were like surrounding me at that point i had its bit of knowledge of about what the milky way was and where we were in the sun. Or was in the sun and i realized i didnt even know anything about this you know and i realized i was part of the of this galaxy of this universe and i wanted to know more and i said ok. If my talents are enough i will put all my energy which i think is more important than talent. To try to be governess well you are certainly an inspiration to women here in this country and i think to a stronger as a future astronomers the world over but how difficult was it. When you started out to be taken seriously in the field that is still dominated by men. I think. The most difficult part maybe was in the u. S. When i tried to be included in the groups to to to to do homework or to work on a project together at princeton and i realized that i was the 1st woman to be accepted as a graduate student. So i was a really strange beast you know women. Lugging you know. Pero the poor guys were afraid of me i could see that they would get to go. Work on homework or projects and i was never included at the beginning i thought because i was not as good as they were they were came from big universities. Or because most english was really bad. But then the 2nd year my english words had improved and i was doing well in a couple of courses i. Was probably doing better than the rest of at least as well as they they were doing and they gave us very hard. Homework to do but i was so used to working by myself that i you know in our down this homework by myself i want to read the office of one of the guys there i realized they were trying to solve the problem and the blackboard i realized they were not. Starting with i mean these are problems that when you dont start well as you can never get to the right answers so i came in and say obviously i would do anything so i start to say oh no you know you you have to change variables and will be. And then i look back and they had left you know and i was there alone and people say oh you were sad not i wasnt sad i was really happy because then i realized it was not my problem its not because i didnt speak english or we cause i was bad in you know in science it was their problem they didnt know how to work with it where it was ok to go for pizza for beer or for playing sports but not for working together and they dont have as many time women we believe we are if you look guilty of what is happening or maybe when you we are discriminated we think maybe there is some good reason for that you know in. The background you you thing maybe maybe theyre right maybe im not good enough or maybe i done something girl so. It was me a lesson you know that went through but i think that way you know when i see women now. Marching on the street reclaim claiming their rights i am very happy because i think you know i could not have done it. It is time for for them its only a while ago that you were interested in writing a book about the sun that the sun has been kind of left aside because its so close to the planet earth and and you talked about the carrington a vent which i found fascinating and you say that the sun has an agenda so we really cannot ignore it anymore tell me a little bit more about that and what and exactly what are the dangers of all this there was this reduce astronomer who was observing the sun every day and he projected the sun in a screen. And many pictures of drawings of the sunspots the black spots that in the surface of the sun where the Magnetic Field comes out and there were big ones and then he saw a flash of light where these dark spot just wrote about them maybe picture the year they had the day after that. The communications in in the whole world where perturbed the graphic stations were on fire and they didnt know what was really non there are of course that people in have on our scene the northern bytes there are us the whole sky was bright with light due to the charged particles i had seen this current on astronomer in britain he had. Travelled the way 2 years and produced this effect and what would happen if that happened today what really happened on the never of course on computers and if if an event injection like the carrington event happen today. G. P. S. Will die and all the g. P. S. The. All the planes that now are traveling flying su these automatic pilots and they will be completely blind trained you know transport all of the cope with the Communication System all the the electricity they already fried aside from all the damage that can produce Something Like dandenault that we are left without any of the technology we know now we use now so we say we depend a lot off what the sun and us more much more than the people think eventually it will kill us but. In short time maybe today or tomorrow we can really make a lot of damage and the only we have like earth way we can do cannot do anything but accept. To know more to learn more to to to understand how these have been how these have been tried to prepare a strategy so that we can. Dispute a scientific and Technological Breakthroughs is making ideas that were once limited to Science Fiction now seem if not within reach at least plausible one of these is the possibility of landing an even colonizing planet mars chilean astrophysicist. Is one of the boldest exponents of this and many other extraordinary theories where to begin i think im going to start with mars in your book mars the next frontier you argue that we have to turn into a multi Planetary Society as soon as possible in order to guarantee the survival of our species what is the hurry dont we have another 1000000000 years left before the sun destroys planet earth were going to hear in my book is that the mix john lynch the next intellect to challenge is to mars not to save your species but why do you want to send them to mars just for curiosity or simple because it is possible when we went to the moon all Technology Got an improvement enormous our life you were mine and everybodys life changed forever because of the dream to go to the mall the only way to survive in mars is to have another the mortgage. If we develop the technology. That for a few of us to live in mars that technology is too soon to change our life on earth forever what about oxygen what about water the atmosphere is completely different from ours is a big challenge but if we are able to develop the utmost fieri mars we will be able to clean our atmosphere but if we develop a bit much in still like the. Vibe of mars those machines apply must simply on earth we could be taken out of the atmosphere as much Carbon Dioxide we are putting in with automobiles with the airplanes that your pockets. Even with a rocket and then the technology to me the human being. If we are not. Willing to accept challenges and to move a little bit out of our comfort zone we could be a still in the cave who would could be if you live in a cave but human beings who got out of the cave and started cities and started all the civilization because every time it was taken the new challenge and the next challenge and the challenge today is to to mars there seems to be a growing tendency that there is a growing tendency in the world as you know to negate science that includes heads of state who say that there is no such thing as Climate Change a whole series of this tendency now to say that what the scientists are saying is not true if this is the case we may never make it to another planet because of this planet may perhaps according to many not survive long enough i think that people today. Are leaving so fast that they dont have time to think because if you are using a cell phone you cannot negate science because they sent from contains millions of hours of work of south some of people that have been working for you to have the cell phone in your hand and when you dial or when do is send the message or when do you see internet intercept phone there are so some of people in this network all down is finally tune in to the max with. All the laws of the electricity go live or was experimenting how was how strong fall to the earth kepler was a study in how the planets revolve around the sun and newton was thinking how could be reconciled the motions of the moon around the earth with the following objects. He developed the laws of of mechanics and that everywhere you have science into your life you have said and that was this is one of the i found this very interesting that the morning is getting further and further away from us and i wonder what impact will that have on us with with a trip to the moon or ball or you live they live near an artefact that allows you to measure with a laser beam the distance to the mall with a precision metal god one centimeter and the moon is receding toward want to have centimeters per year. Since the time when. Axed from all doing is. Their foot on the moon the moon now is at least made to find their way and the moon will keep receding from tears and in there in the. 100 or 200000000 years since the mall if easier to do this is thinking is good in a smaller and smaller at the moment the morn is going to be smaller than the sun forever and then the eclipses will not be here forever sunt sun eclipses not be able to be produced because the moon will be a smaller than the sun when the moon and the years are facing each other the rotation of the moon is of the order of a month around the earth and then the rotation of the earth is going to be a month and then we will see the sun rising and it will take 7 or 8 days to get to the 1000000 the day. When the sun is up is what we 15 days and then for 15 days you with night and then claim are on earth is what we are very different well that of course would seem to emphasize the need to have what you say a multi planetary system sooner rather than later but i can in this without asking you the question that everyone has asked him or herself at some point and that is do you know as a scientist believe that there is intelligent life outside of the planet earth he. We live in a reality the milky way that contains 200000000000 stars if life. Was developed on earth and if that process is very unlikely maybe one in every 1000000 times you will produce life and all the stars in the milky way all the stars have planets and then broadly there there were or there are. 200000000000 possibilities of developing life in a planet or is this the only planet that contains life in the whole without legs if soul if you have just one planet with life and im not talking about human beings on earth there are 8000000 forms of life on earth most of them are bacteria but if it is a form of life if we are the only planet in this galaxy with a space telescope we can see 100000000000 galaxies maybe there is one planet with life but a galaxy. My suspicion is that they released their 100000000000 places in the universe with life but from one galaxy to the next big gerlach say like and like them drawn with our aleksey the distance is more than 2000000 years. If you say hello or do there in 2000000 years your message will reach andromeda and if they said yeah were here were what do you want another 2000000 he has talked to for the message to return and that even communicating by radio or by phone or by website with this is a decision in and drama its almost impossible now now but but if kind stein for day one this for the last 100 years people have tried to prove hes wrong and so far no when have succeeded. Einstein said that nothing can travel faster than light today if we want to visit the closest neighbor unfasten story is 4 lady years away with a thing all of you that we have now. It will take us 40 years to was there another 40000 years to come back you can say ok this is not as you can be improved by a factor of 10 ok then in that its going to take only 4 south and years to hold 12 percent even at a very very close. Very close to the speed of light it will take at least 10 or 20 years to go and 10 or 20 years to come back and that is the closest star and even discovering planets that could be. In the future well how are you going to move 20000000000 people to a planet that is. If 15 ideas away is a dream yeah the human beings we are confined to the solar system forever i dont believe that we ever call on the ice there in the same way the day im absolutely believe or that we have to go to mars. I dont believe that we could ever go to to visit. Or all all nice it planet of another star i bet in a 100 years d of the many people that dont agree with you. If they prove me wrong id be happy to have all the people of iraq professor course i must that thank you so much it. Was a pleasure for me to talk to you. They say to really know someone you must walk a mile in their shoes. Follow in their footsteps as they forge their way in the water. Aljazeera shares these personal journeys.

The kurdish Led Syrian Democratic forces really were left with little choice they were abandoned by their ally the United States turkey is an enemy so they reached out to russia russia brokered that deal reported deal between the Syrian Government and the s d f that the s b f would hand over territories to the Syrian Government instead of or preventing the turkish army from entering so this is a report to deal at the end of the day like i mention new front lines emerging a new map emerging but its the s. D. F.

If you fix it if you. And your lawyer 2014 israel launched a devastating military attack on the gaza strip. Over the course of 51. 00 days is ready to drop 20000. 00 tons of explosives on the densely populated area the size of the. Killing over 2000 i was 20 and smooching tens of thousands more. The overwhelming majority of these casualties were civilians the strip being bombarded from the sea and land israel launched at least 160. 00 strikes on the gaza strip. And theres one less hospital in gaza now israel today a latin hospital. The sheer scale of the attack spoke outrage and condemnation around the world israels month long pounding of gaza shocked many people around the world mass demonstrations have been held in many of the worlds major cities. But in the United States the story was different polls showed the American People holding firm in their support for israel this is the latest you know or see poll the american shows 57 percent of those polled say israels action in gaza justified 34 percent say unjustified these numbers were striking but they were new of the course of a conflict in which palestinian casualties so far outnumbered israeli casualties the American People have consistently shown from 0 sympathy for israelis for palestinians its very difficult to force Public Opinion on any question from the Media Coverage that people rely on to form opinions and i think the most prevalent lesson from looking at the coverage is that the coverage tends to see this conflict from the israeli side study after study has demonstrated that israeli perspectives dominate American Media coverage so by far the most common thing weve heard is that everything comes down to israels right to defend itself israel is a state that implements its right to defend itself and its citizens it is a talking point that is set from the top and by the top i mean from the highest officials government officials who are commenting on this issue which the media obsessive we cover the repeats a mans gotta do what a mans got to do in your country has got to do what the countrys got to do we have to defend ourselves in the most recent war in 2014 when we looked at Mainstream Media outlets almost by a margin of 3 to one israeli spokespeople over represented compared to palestinian spokespeople so almost every time you turned on the screen there was a israeli representative on the screen telling you israel is the one thats in a position of defense it is being attacked and basically israel is saying hey you dont have to be a Rocket Scientist to understand that the fuck is flying your head youre allowed to defend yourself add to this the fact that you have american elected officials. Also reinforcing israels right to defend itself as ive said many times israel has a right to defend itself against rocket and tunnel attacks from hamas and what gets pushed out of the frame entirely is the fact that out the for almost 50 years palestinians have been systematically dispossessed from their land and the noise of the most basic human rights. Pioneers and refugee. Countries of the oppression young and old they are going to our land. They will march to their world view resettlement to build. One response they want real will respond to palestine and. Zionism the nationalist movement that emerged in europe in the late 18th hundreds was dedicated to the idea that the jewish people of to centuries of living is persecuted minorities within other countries were entitled to state an historic palestine the biblical homeland of the jews more than 3000 years before but there was a basic problem with the choice from the start palestine was already home to hundreds of thousands of palestinian arabs who had been living in palestine for centuries. After world war 2 when the holocaust the situation reached a breakpoint ultimately the British Colonial government made the decision to withdraw and to polish the problem on to the newly created United Nations in 147 Un Resolution 181 recommended that palestine be split into 2 parts. Jews who were a 3rd of the population would receive 56 percent of the land palestinians who had 2 thirds of the population and possessed move 90 percent of historic palestine would receive 44 percent these terms were immediately rejected by arab leaders as unfair but in the spring of 1948 as honestly it is to create israel a state on the proposed borders anyway triggering the 1st arab israeli will. Get out. Early morning. After winning a crushing victory israel took possession of even more land by the time almost this was declared in 949. 00 israel controls 78 percent of historic palestine the creation of the new state would be celebrated by israelis as a triumph but to this day it is commemorated by palestinians says the nakba the arabic term for the catastrophe in memory of the hundreds of thousands of palestinians who were driven from their homes to make way for the new jewish state were all told approximately 700000 people more than half of august on its native population were up rooted way theres a lot of sympathy that can be generated i think rightly so for what jewish people as a whole have dealt with in western societies and globally because of antisemitism the question then becomes what is the proper response to that design is the answer is of course statehood and theres many people who would sympathise with that if it was in fact done in a vacuum and if it was in fact done for a people without a land in a land without people the reality is thats just not the way that it happened. There were people here they lost their homes their livelihood their nation their everything. This was a in 1000 turn there was only 3 percent palestinian arab and 67 percent jewish how did it suddenly become 80 percent jewish and 20 percent palestinian this was not a normal demographic transition this was a consequence of israels desire to create a jewish state and to do that it had to get rid of as many palestinians as possible the palestinians use the term catastrophe to speak of the 1948
