worst affected regions in the us. some areas are buried under meter of snow with residence, stranded in their cars for up to 2 days. officials a warning that the blizzard like conditions are set to continue when across the board of canada, thousands remain without power in the 2 biggest provinces, ontario and quebec. when the storm warnings remain in place for parts of the western province of british columbia, for people were killed there and dozens more injured when a bus rolled on an icy road, was enjoying begins, a coverage. ah, the u. s. is 1st major storm left behind, picturesque ice creations and opportunities to play in the snow. but as the officials said on monday, this storm was and is all very dangerous. i have the very sad news to report that in addition to the 13 confirmed deaths yesterday, the erie county department of health medical examiners office has confirmed an additional 12 deaths bringing the total. ready for the blizzard to 25 deaths county wide, that number is expected to go up, not just in new york state, but across the country. as rescue crews struggle to reach both residents and drivers trapped during the blizzard. new york state was already trying to recover from a blizzard in early december. in this last storm, his historic storms are no longer historic to us. that's become a way of life in our state, and that's result of climate change. as you seen, see extreme weather events all over our country. but all of us in state and county, local government know we had to prepare for the next big one. the storm forced us airlines to cancel thousands of flights, meaning hundreds of thousands of travelers nationwide have to wait and wait to get to their destination file and south carolina, a frozen pipe that ruptured has put that state's largest food bank temporarily out of business. oh, that is in the water and all the food in our region with all of it is all meteorologist fe temperatures nationwide should rise during the week, making it easier for the ice and snow to melt residents of the buffalo area that break in the weather can't come quickly enough. another 30 centimeters lift. snow is in the forecast through tuesday. rosalind jordan al jazeera. steven v max is a meteorologist and the professor of geography at sunni buffalo state. he says these storms are becoming more common. well, a bomb cycle is basically a low pressure system and as is moving across the country in there, the pressure deepens and deepens very quickly. so if it deepens, like within 24 hours, a number of miller bars, it becomes a much stronger storm. so it's a storm that builds up the strength and it does so very quickly. and as it moves across the country and brings all kinds of havoc, and when it hits the great lakes where we are in buffalo, that we often get where to refer to lake effect snow. so not only are we getting the snow as part of that low pressure system and the winds and the cold, but now we're getting lake effect snow. that's what we have such high amounts in western new york is because lake erie is actually producing the snow. the energy from the lake gets drawn up into that storm and it produces much stronger snow events. in my work, we're finding that we're getting more and more cases of extreme weather. so this is not surprised. i can see the storm is due to climate change, but we're going to see more of these extremes. we're going to see not only a warming world, but a world that's going to face all kinds of different streams. the last time buffalo had a storm like this was referred to as a blizzard of 77. that's 977. that's why, again, we referred to as a generational storm and, and this is going to be ingrained on the dna of people on buffalo for, for a long, long time. while heavy snow in the

been working in afghanistan since 2002 very deeply rooted the organization that was very closely with communities and extremely hard to reach and who were facing a huge difficulties. so the decision for us to temporarily pools our programming is not being taken lightly. but unfortunately, this move makes it very difficult for our team on the ground to provide that all women are essential to any humanitarian operation. so in the context of you can start even more so where women can interact with women. we are actually working very closely with other agencies and trying to kind of keep watching brief on the situation. why hopeful that through our connections and our engagement with partners don't use government that we can try to press go everybody to live here and that things will become one abling in the country so that we can then resume our work. and you know, obviously providing life saving support at a very difficult time in the country and dialogue is the key. the white

afternoon, south korea also took corresponding measures. we are learning that south crew military sent manned and unmanned surveillance aircraft near the border area, if and also north of the military demarcation line and a tit for tat of sorts. to take pictures of north korea as military installations. now the drones, the north korean drones that is dead fly for several hours. some media reports you're saying as long as 7 hours since being detected again at around $1030.00 this morning, passenger flights were grounded just after lunch, including at the main airport in china international airport as a safety precaution, as these drones were flying through civilian areas. now 2022 was the year. the technology industry in the u. s. came crashing down to worth of the flying high on pandemic era profits for reynolds explains why it went so wrong so quickly. tough times in silicon valley. more than 200000 tech company employees laid off major company revenues down the dow jones s and p tech stock index falling nearly one 3rd to h. i to was a very tough here in tech. in part because we were paying for past since over exuberance, over hiring, over expectations, an hour in a trough and is likely it's going to last for another year. so what's behind the bust? many tech companies spent too much during the pandemic when consumers were stuck at home practically living online, they over invested and hired a lot of people in very short amount of time. as the virus waned, consumer habits changed, although the online buying hangover remain, snarled supply chains, inflation and higher interest rates, along with the expectation of a recession all combined in a big macro economic mass. in addition, some top tech executives blundered. facebook seems to be pursuing a mark sucker burbs, great white whale of the met averse russia, and he believes it, that's the future of tech. oh, are all going to go live in cyberspace? and he spent hundreds of millions of dollars pursuing it. and he hasn't had much to show for it. so facebook stock, they've lost billions over this obsession of his in october ilan must marched into twitter headquarters in san francisco and soon began firing

analysts and human rights advocates to me itself. tremendous concern, ah, happy you know, setting a precedence, an example where a popular platform with millions of phenol use us. but having such completely 0 moderation, i sis related accounts have tripled. it's not just hate speech. so it say i think it's also national security issues. recent history shows, however, that while companies rise and fall tech always bounces back, recessions are good for entrepreneurship, is because you have free time, you been laid off. so you go to starbucks and sit there at a table. and you can hire people who've also been laid off. you can't tell by the people sitting there which tables a winner of a one of those tables is going to create a multi $1000000000.00 unicorn company. silicon valley is full
