grows on prime minister boris johnson to resign. i'm joining israel, so we just bought a staging winterly pickles, and i would say tickets will not be sold. the general public and also being deported from australia, nova ciocca, which faces being banned from the french open of the country. she's new rules on vaccinated athletes. we live in paris. ah, welcome to the news. we start in the united arab emirates where an attack targeting an oil facility has killed 3 people. please say drains may have been used to start 3 fires in the capitol, abu dhabi, 3 fuel tank goes exploded in the most software industrial area. another fire broke out on the construction site it abu dhabi, international airport demons who the rebels claim responsibility for an attack, but did not specify what it was. the u. e announced a partial withdrawal from yemen in 2019, but maintains a military presence. mama to allah. tom passmore from gibbons capital santa. we have heard from the healthy spokesperson here, sorry. he said that he will give more details in the upcoming hours. we know also the, according to some media, means that the host is, have also carried out some attacks to the southern areas of the, the saudi arabia kingdom. also these attack, according to the host, these administer of information. he says that the, this and inside the united emares is to teach the united amorous. a listen according to, to what he said, that in order to stop its involvement and also its participation and the saudi, its quality and war in yemen. according to his statement. well, let's see to our cars by the hash marlboro, who's covered the story for many years now. hush him. why is i be darby been targeted right now? well, asked the same question to senior hotel. official has said basically they are sending a message to the amount is about the need for the you a to stop interfering in a in humans are internal affairs and they say that they will continue watching those attack, citing the you a while, as long as the a maintains a military process and provides significant assistance to the pro government forces in yemen. if you look what is happening on the ground, you see that the elite forces loyal to have the obama so handy, the president of yemen, back train, and financed by the you a half bay. the crucial role in taken over the province of subway. and it seems that the health is a really frustrated with this year many of this emma to role in e. m. and they want to tell them if you don't stop, you will see retaliation. we've seen the who these continually target a locations in saudi arabia to target the u. e, across the water is it is a significant move, but what do they gain from it except the knowledge that they will be some form of retaliation that has to be the normally is when this happens from the hoodies. so here in 2015, when you a saudi arabia launched this guy, a coalition against the health is there basically said that the aim is to pushed the healthiest from all the areas that controlled in 2014 and convinced them to join an alliance. with brothers vulnerable and so had a former national unity government, and then the campaign will, will, will finish. 70 years later, the health is, are more powerful than ever the gate in control across the country, yemen is disintegrated. a secessionist movement is in the south, gleaming the south to be an independent state. that is anaki in different parts of the country and the health is, are gaining momentum. now the amenities are putting more resources in demand to be able to reverse some of those gains made by the hottest. and it seems that both are tactically trying to have the upper hand. because the moment they will go for the united nations, for any political talks about the future of the about, they would have to say, you know, what is about how to make some concessions as well as other health is, are concerned. there's absolutely no way there will return back to before 2014. they are saying for any political settlement in the future, the international committee has to recognize as, as the ultimate, legitimate authority in yemen. and that's what really my next question is about. a negotiated settlement because with the tack and counter attack, it is for the military offensive is continually focused on one seems to perhaps be distracted away from where the politics politics is, where the negotiating behind closed doors is happening. is it happening in riyadh in geneva, in washington, dc, or in abu dhabi, thus that thus the challenge facing all the key players trying to broker a political settlement? the u. n. has tried many times. he has fail because the stakes were so high and the involvement of key regional players were so high to the point that it was not going to be easy for the you and on its own to convince all the party to sit together and negotiate a settlement now this incident is likely to further strained relations between the united alabama, saudi arabia, on one hand, and iran because both have been saying that the host, these have been trained financed by the iranians. and is because of iranian influence or the able to last those drone attacks. we are getting to a point where it's in yemen will be full only when the saudi is. and the iranians come together, set aside the differences and put an end to the proxy, conflicts that we've been seen, raging in different parts of the middle east. india in particular. is it likely to happen anytime soon? i don't think so because i've been talking to city of the office all over the last few weeks and months and basically the sentiment that is, this is likely going to go further towards more confrontation on violence in the country. 30 serious turn events across the gulf. we should keep an eye on that for the moment. hush, barbara, thank you. cranes for president petro poor shanker, has paid in court in the capital, can to deny trees and chargers prosecute the keys in the financing pro russian separatists an eastern ukraine. the hearing happened shortly after publishing can return time from poland, but he says he's innocent of what he calls politically motivated accusations. from all this, let's bring in dosage of our correspondent joining me now from moscow. so the former president arrived and began his court case with some of those most serious charges being leveled against him, including, including treason yes, the charge is high treason and it carries a sentence of 15 years. should he be found guilty? and right now, the former president is still in court. the hearing is ongoing, where the judge will decide whether or not he'll be detained, awaiting his trial. his assets have already been frozen in the country, and the judge will have to decide whether or not he will be able to go home later on this evening. he arrived earlier on monday at the airport where he was greeted by number of fans outside the airport. and he took some time to speak to them, where he said that he has come back to your crane to try and help the country that's facing the glowing risk of a russian invasion. you said he also choose his successor, president vladimir as zalinski train ukraine. he sees it as now very much his duty to try and establish a stronger presence in a stronger stance against what he says is russian aggression against ukraine. and he says, we are here to unite and defend ukraine. he is now. he took a small court rather took a small break of while ago, and they've just resumed proceedings and were expecting to find out whether or not he'll be able to leave the court house later on monday. and when his court hearings will actually get underway. of course a lot to consider the ukrainians they've got you might say an internal site there between a former president and the current president and they've got a fight across the border. it's a very serious scenario that this country has sort of ended up in at the moment. certainly things are very complicated at the moment, not only in ukraine, but of course, between ukraine and russia, as they are accusing along with the united states government. the ukraine government is accusing russia, filling up troops alongside its border since december. the russians have said that they are just carrying out with terry drills alongside their borders, which is well within their rights. they have nearly 100000 troops now alongside the southwestern quarter with ukraine at that, for this case that we're witnessing today in the ukrainian capital. this is a man who is one of the wealthiest men in the country. he's known as the chocolate king because he owns a confectionary empire, as well as to television stations. he is very well known. his wealth is to be estimated at $1600000000.00. and he is saying that these charges against him are very much politically motivated. it is at being he says, it's being used by the current president of distract from all the economic problems the countries facing, as well as the threat from russia. what's whether or not he will be able to weather the storm that is coming his way. we'll have to wait and see. does anybody that force mosca? thank you. the petro brozowski is a senior fellow at the democratic initiative foundation thinktank in ukraine. he says the prosecution has yet to show evidence to support the allegations. the timing for the public positions really is really wrong is really not the best time because of what you have right now is the threats to the real truth of the rational invasion and the accusations themselves poorly prepared by the persecutors. and it's not about them blaming for us. and using, for example, in trading with separate is but that he approved a scheme, the trade scheme of transport in energy call from the occupied territories to the government control area. however, still, the prosecutors did not release any kind of evidence that there is a link between the president and the rational back to separate it so that the case is really complex. and we're here and you're great. also, i wondered, what will be the evidence presented by the persecution? i would can only say that in this case, the president will ask you the current presence of your grand is calling the shots . and in the to last years, he requested the prosecutors to open up to 2000 and criminal cases. all of them are dropped. but right now, what we see is that these kinds of return and what the prosecutors tried to do in the board. all this, hey, look, they created, it only can boast or the popularity or sample right now. now the german foreign minister says she'll do everything in her power to guarantee ukraine security. and alina babel can made comments during her visit to care, to meet ukrainian officials. the boat pushing to revive for a peace talks with russia and france to end the conflict in the east and on bass region. russia has been gathering troops out the ukrainian border as you heard raising face of a potential invasion out there as dominant cain joyce in our life from berlin. dominic, what's being said at this meeting, the thing that really stood out from this meeting, at least the news conference that emerged after the meeting of the to foreign ministers, was a reiteration of germany's perspective, germany's support for ukraine. angelina bell box saying effectively to the russians that any further and each further aggression would be met with some diplomatic response from her country and others saying in her opinion, that diplomacy is the only way to solve this crisis. also referring to the normandy format since you were referring to their sale, saying that the 4 way meeting of ministers between paris here, moscow, berlin, that, that's a format that they want to reinvigorate where possible. but it is worth making the point that in questions both to mrs. burbock and to her counterparts meter clear. but when the question was about whether the german government would seek to provide some form of more material support in the form of weapons perhaps. and alina barbara did not touch on last choosing, not to answer the question directly, which of course is interesting in itself, because there are those who say that if germany wants materially to support ukraine and perhaps weapons would be a way of doing it. but as a say that was not touched upon, at least not by the german foreign minister for the update. thanks very much. dominic came that for some bel plenty more had here on the algebra. a news including a major winter storm hits the eastern united states with snow and ice. the forecast as was the worst is yet to come. and rough, i am done launch this campaign for a record. the 21st grand slam title in melbourne. and for the up in sport, ah, china's economic growth slowed the end of last year to a strong start. the pandemic real estate troubles on the lowest birth rate in decades i'll being blamed for the slump. brick planet reports now from hong kong. as trying to tackles its on the chrome spread, a temperature check on the health of its economy shows mixed results. 4th quarter g d p rose by 4 percent from a year ago. according to china's national bureau statistics, that's stronger than the government's own target. but nearly a full percentage point slower than the previous quarter. the chinese economy grew by 8 point one percent in 2021 with the help of steady industrial output as the world continue to buy china's goods for years in taxes you father, industrial production, experienced sustain development, and high tech manufacturing and equipment, manufacturing, experience, fast growth but momentum is waning and its economy last steam and the 2nd half of the year, triggered by a slow down in the real estate sector and regulatory clamp downs authorities restricting the amount of money property developers could borrow. after the fall out from the debt hid ever ground crisis, authorities will also need to address the effects of an aging population and the lowest birth rates since 949, just 7.5, birth to every 1000 people. that's despite relaxing family planning measures like the one child policy. young chinese couples are increasingly choosing not to have babies because of higher living costs. are the challenges on the horizon for china include supply chain problems and uncertainty surrounding the pandemic. the on the chrome very, to spread to a number of its cities, prompting locked down and ramped up restrictions. at least one case has been detected in beijing, which is gearing up to host the winter olympics in less than 3 weeks. restrictions are being stepped up to contain the spread ahead of the learn a new year holiday by so honestly, i'm bored that the winter olympics will bring in more cases when people come from other countries, we do not know how the situation will go. i'm not worried, i think the government has been doing well. chinese officials or warning people in high risk areas, including beijing to avoid traveling during the fed period bridge clinic al jazeera hong kong. while for law, i'm trying to record low birth rate. let's bring in to get his baston. he's a visiting fellow at the school of social and behavioral science at rasmus university shows me now via skype from rotted. i'm good. have you with us live on the show. so a record drop in the birthright despite the change really in government policy, to have more than one children or child. i mean, what factors are determined couples from having a larger family? well, yeah. so that's the thing is not only from the planning policy, of course, it is, as the report suggested, very high living costs, very high direct costs associated with having a child. but also, i think, just as important. and since i knew many parts, well, the very high what oppertunity cost specifically to women's careers in that is very gender on equal world where the primary responsibility, childcare, and of course carrying for the parents rest on the shoulders as women. so the cost to women to read is very high plus also the kind of the challenges is getting started in life. the cost of living in the cost of housing, the chances of getting the decent job. then when you add cov it in the panoramic and all of the economic and social security the last year on top of that story challenge it. of course there are some policies the chinese government have tried to help couples with. for example, if i'm right, taking the financial burden away from raising children, aid after school to wish and classes taking those sorts of costs away hasn't worked. why is that? i mean, what do they have to reconsider about the way children are looked after? once they arrive in this world and how to encourage women either to get about to work or to have more children depending on what you sit on on this. yeah, that's right. and i think is, as i mentioned before, it's not just about money, it's about the opportunity costs. it's about this tackling work. coach, i'm is actually choose to wards, can roles and that's both within the family as attitudes as partners. but also as a parent in law, paris, i'm the company. so the company's needs to be kind of integrated approach to, to see that, you know, the, the cost of childbearing at the moment, as it disproportionately for holding on women and women careers. and just spending a little bit more on affecting the price of extra school tuition. or, or giving a kind of baby bo, this is not really going to make all this, how much of a sort of timeline do the chinese government have in terms of dealing with an aging population. is there a critical point that they have to perhaps, you know, change idea about the way they're dealing with this? well, that's one of the benefits of the chinese system mean that you can actually you can, you can develop long term plans and the quarter, the 5 year plan as a lot in there about both supporting people to build and build families, but also to offset some of the challenges associated with population aging through things like retirement changing retirement age pension reform. ready improving productivity and so on. so, but of course it's, it's going to be an ongoing challenge for china, but it is getting, it's trying to definitely get an old and very rapidly as the population will be declining pretty soon. but of course, china is also healthier and more highly skilled and more highly educated. so there is actually, there is sending the potential that the china to be able to respond to that using these kind of long term plans to be able to whether some of these demographic challenges. let's go to your insights to get to boston. thanks for joining us. from rotterdam. thank. now the coven 19 pandemic is having a dramatic effect on jobs worldwide, and recovering from the job losses is expected to take longer than predicted. the international labor organization says that while unemployment rates aren't expected to be as high as last year, the deficits in working hours worldwide will be the equivalent of at least $52000000.00 full time jobs. that's and he double last year as estimate of 26000000 jobs. before the pandemic started in 2019, at least 189000000 people globally were classified as unemployed. that total is expected to surpass 200000000 this year. the jobs markets in europe and north america showing the most encouraging signs of recovery, while se, asia, latin america, and the caribbean. the slowest so far as bringing di ryder, he's the director general of the international labor organization join me now via skype from geneva. mr. i could help you with this analogy area. thank you for your time. you do actually paint quite a depressing picture ready for the near future even when it comes to the job market and the working world. is there any light at the end of the tunnel? but suppose the positive side of the story is that we are progressing. the numbers are getting better, both in terms of unemployment coming down and growth coming through. but the reality you've said is that the, the estimates of putting out today a really a downward revision on what we had expected made year last year. and i think we have to look at why that is the case. and most obviously, of course, the pandemic is persisting, it's creating a great deal of uncertainty in working life. and so we face, i think, a incomplete very on even recovery process with plenty of downside risks out there as well. so it is pretty gloomy. i have to admit, would you also say that in, in a caveat, to your answer that really we have to deal with the virus with the pandemic 1st, before we can really look at global recovery? well, certainly in current circumstances, the continuing pandemic is a major obstacle to, to progress in labor market recovery. now, there's a big debate out there isn't there about whether we try to get rid of the virus or learn to live with it. and we're seeing a certain degree of hesitancy, country by country about the best approach to take. but whichever approach is taken, the current dispensation leaves us, i think in this is rather difficult. economic and social terrain. which is clearly much worse than we thought a year ago. in the introduction we talked about sort of the job market in europe and north america sharing, encouraging signs of recovery. it's not so great in asia, se, asia, latin america, the caribbean. oh, what, what, what are, what are those we, what regions that are doing well doing well and what are regions that are doing bad? what are they doing bad if, if that's the way of looking at it? yeah, i think there are 2 factors which make the difference between that the best performers in the worst performers. the 1st obviously, is vaccine roll out. those countries which have been able to administer vaccines in high numbers. well, they create the conditions under which they can unlock their economies and get moving again that's, that's one part of the story. and the other part is simply fiscal, fiscal muscle power. if you like the extent to the resources which governments could invest in getting economies going, protecting work and sustaining enterprises. and those 2 factors accumulate to give an advantage to the richard countries and a disadvantage correspondingly, to emerging and developing countries. and that's why we get this underlying phenomena, which i think is most worrying that the current trajectories, in fact, is creating greater inequality between countries. i would say also within countries, and so you get what has been termed a great divergence within the overall recovery process of the rich doing better in the poor doing less well to put it simply. and i think that has a lot of it's pregnant with dangers if i might put it like that reading part of the report very briefly this morning. i mean, well one does, i mean has to be much of a difference in how people sort of have moved away or last permanent positions and how they are the sort of look for temporary work as the way forward. not really worrying any more about sort of a permanent position. that seems to be the chit chat in developed countries at the moment. yes, there's some curious things going on. there's a great deal of talk about to the great resignation, whatever that really means. what our report does, trying to do is look at the, you've mentioned it, temporary work in particular. you know, when we went into the crisis, when kobe 1st hit, what happened? and it's typical, is that people in can pre work, lost their jobs. and in great numbers, this is classic when you go in a downhill direction in the economy, tempe work as a puts aside 1st. but now we're seeing quite strong growth in temporary work, so that the overall figures in temporary work about the same as they were at the beginning of the pandemic. but the different people doing different jobs has been quite a considerable churning. so i think there are many moving parts in this recovery process. i think it's a little bit premature. it would be of us to say exactly where we're going in terms of mobility preference has been different as we come out of cobra, 1900. how remote working patents are going to to shake things up. but in any case, we're not going quickly enough to where we're going to get to is we would like to. certainly we have to leave it that mr. the thanks so much for joining us or the director general of the international labor organization. it's a fascinating read the report. anybody wants to read it at ilo dot or thanks very much for your time. so a tornado has destroyed dozens of homes in a trailer park in the state of florida, winds reached 119 kilometers. now the storm cut off power for more

nearly half of that in the final month of 2021 because of the panoramic and a real estate slum zealand and australia has sent false plains to tongue or to survey the damage caused by saturdays volcanic interruption, and synonymy, a tearing ash cloud had prevented adie flights, and while report suggests that the new mass casualties, agencies are concerned, alexia bryan has the latest 2 days after this massive undersea eruption, and the synonymy, which followed toner remains castle from the world fiber optic cable, one of the main lines of communication to the pacific island nation, now broken. we spoke to some more for families and relatives, and also to ministry of furniture. so just before the communication was sounded, i tell you, it was on believable and they were not able to explain to us the noise in the song. and what happened at the time is eland has seen to surveillance aircraft to assess the damage. australia's also sending a military plane to help. both countries have waited for 20000 metre, high mushroom cloud of ash to lift before take off clearance was given. this is a very challenging time. communications are deeply, deeply affected by the events of the volcanic eruption. it has been felt in other parts of the region. the ash is toxic and has been falling across tongue as islands . everyone's being told to stay in doors if they can use an immediate need for food . also for water because they used to be as well that has been reported. and as a result of that, you know, water sources have been contaminated in most of the islands that widespread damage is reported after the erosion triggered astronomy and waves surged through tongue as a 170 islands. police reported seeing homes thrown around along the coast. the owner of one beach resort said it was completely wiped out. a remarkable thing about this or option was your head, the rapid rise and the expansion of the gas and steam bloom. and the in parallel to that, you had the synonymy radiating outwards and also the shockwave radiating outwards, wind around the entire world. miscommunication disrupted the full impact from saturday's eruption, which could be seen from space, remains unclear. as does the scale of aid needed to help the token people, alexia brian al jazeera. katie greenwood is the head of the pacific delegation, not the international federation of the red cross, and red crescent societies. she says, getting information from the ground is proving difficult because the teams are prepared for this type of crisis. i wish that we had been able to make contact without teams on the ground, but unfortunately, those ongoing communication challenges which you've heard about have really hampered out, is to be able to do that as really. normally we would hope that even in way of the communication sources down, we would be able to make contacts by satellite find that even that has been hampered from the ash clouds as it exists there. despite that, we know what our team will be doing on the ground that very well trained. they well prepared and we have essential non food items of the talk that would just described . so shell ticket, hygiene kits, and necessities. the clean water necessities, the shoring up shelters that might have been damaged from unami wise enough, but $1200.00 families initially, pre positions there in hong, uh, which app teams on the ground will be making assessments and distributions as we speak. so even though we can't speak with them, we know what that would be doing. the situation further afield is really concerning for us because that window of opportunity to reach those people was the bulk volcano itself is still volatile and was you know, going on those trips to assist damage further afield is really quite difficult. so it's, it's both that are a field communities where that window gets a bit shorter. but more revelations are emerging that u. k. government held parties during the current virus lockdown. the daily mirror newspaper says, prime minister boys, johnson attended a farewell gathering for a staff member in the run up to christmas 2020 more than a dozen events were being investigated by a senior civil 7th grade. now she is reported to have questioned the prime minister . let's go over to the barca who's following the 4th from london. one takes a deep breath every day when we hear about these revelations, knees. so what options now does the prime minister have to get out of this mess? if he can at all with us, a big question, the options, almost certainly running out for the prime minister who's made it's a and a bitch will achievement. a thing to skirt around some of the most difficult control vesee c space so far in his leadership. it's only 5 days since he was forced to apologize in the houses of parliament in front of m. p. 's and an apology to the british public for attending a drinks of answer in the garden of his residence. number 10 downing street, and a venti said at the time he believed was a work event. and he believed as such, it fell within the. there would be the covey rules that, of course, the government set themselves, but that's an excuse, that seems a fallen flat with members of his own party, with the opposition and a growing number of people in the general public. and as well, a deep sense of frustration that this isn't just about whether boys, johnson walsall, was not at any given parties for is about a culture in which boys. johnson presided over a culture where rule breaking was habitual by downing street staff and other officials in and other government departments. so in the past few days, we've learned about a wine fridge that was installed in downing street. we've learned about there being an irregular event tabled in the downing street shad diary for a wine time fridays as well. what happens next is, is pretty unclear at the moment, but we are waiting for the key results of this inquiry into rule breaking by boys johnson and others during the coven pandemic. if that is particularly damning for boys johnson, he could well mean the pressure mounts on him to go. it could while mean more, more conservative and piece table letters of no confidence embarrassed. johnson, whether or not he was on before that though is anyone's guess. the assumption is that he may well try him, whether this is best he can. and in the meantime, the government seems to think that distracting the intelligence of the great british public will work on issue such as that state broadcaster and migrant patrols when one does, whether it's going to work yeah, i you, you kind of have understand why the government would want to refrain the attention away from all of this, you know, focusing back on, for instance, the achievements of managing the pandemic over the past 700 days, which is why. on monday, the quarantine period kicks into force is now reduced from $7.00 to $5.00 days. means the government hopes will help restock the economy going forward. also be questions about whether or not the b, b, c, should continue to receive of funding from license payers as well. any question? well, either a media landscape where you've got the legs of amazon and netflix should people really have to be paying mandatory of to watch the bbc, particularly for the boys. johnson's government, when coverage is an always in their favor, questions to you about whether the british navy will be sent to man the english channel to control the arrival of migrants, refugees from the continent. it does beg the question, who is the government trying to appeal to here? they trying to forestall criticism from within the conservative party's own rank. so they trying to cozy up to some of the hard line m p 's to to try and avoid them . basically turning their back on bowers johnson. there is a strategy, i think, at least underway here, but nevertheless, looming over over this is the possible result of this inquiry into misconduct. carried out by and talk to plan for civil servant su gray, who just to give you an idea of as being known in whitehall as the sleaze buster of westminster. so look, if anyone can do the job, it appears as if sue gray can question is where the boys johnson's quaking and his boots and date of the my, me pocket. thanks very much. now he k based charity, oxfam says the crew of ours pandemic has helped the world's richest men double the wealth. while an estimated 160000000 people have been plunged into poverty, the group so called inequality kills report claims that the increase in amazon found the gym vessels as fortune alone could pay for every one on earth to be vaccinated. it also said that lower income for the world's poor is contributed to the death of at least $21000.00 people each day. now, the french parliament has approved a controversial bill, little require people to have a vaccine certificate to enter public places. at the moment, people can go to restaurants, cafes, and cinemas, with a recent negative cave. at 1900 test, that he 78 percent of the french population is fully vaccinated. the government wants to enforce the law as soon as possible, as it struggles to contain a 5th wave. south korea military says north korean pacified to projectiles, believe to be ballistic missiles. they will launch from an area close to the capitol hill young. it's the country's 4th miss, our lord. since the start of the year. south korea national security council call the action regrettable and us cold for talks with kelly is a professor of political science diplomacy at bruce at national university in south . great. he says north quiz renewed miss r launches a park, a test of the biden administration's tolerance. why hasn't been aggressive nor through live is donald trump was in 2017, but it's pretty far down his list. and so the north koreans are probably figuring, you know, whatever came along with trump for president, that's all over the, by the people haven't really done much for us or they're not talking to us or whatever. and to we can go back to the, the testing, right. and they are developing pre, clearly and missile for so for somebody want to test it. and there's really no reason not to anymore because there's really not much going on negotiation. the regime in north korea is always what regime security is sort of its own protection against outsiders and its own people ahead of the, the interest and welfare of its own population. i mean, the great tragedies of north korea is a country the country. the lead is willing to basically let its own people suffer terribly in order to stay in power. and they kind of expect from the outside to sort of do more for their own people than they do themselves. one of the great ironies of dealing with north korea right from north korean, lisa said for many years, i mean going back decades, right? that they were sort of interested in getting the economy off the ground and operating more functionally and being less brought than things like that. and that stuff is just never really come through north korea. it's been an on, has been dependent on food a now for at least since the 1990 is arguably going back further than that. and, you know, i mean, you could change that, but it really would require, like a major redirection of state resources away from the military, some kind of effort to get the sanctions roll back to really sort of boost north korea collective sort of internal self sufficiency and the regime hasn't done that, i mean, really be a significant change in the way it spends money. and that that would be a big deal at home. people in el salvador hall protest against the government on the 30th anniversary of a peace treaty, the ended the civil war, demanding justice for atrocities committed between 19899275000 people were killed and 8000 the phil missing demonstrators also rallied against president and i had to kelly after it was revealed journalist and human rights activists investigating corruption, i think spied on to the state of california, where there's an increasing alarm over the number of people over 50 who are living on the streets. they make up more than half a 1000000 people who are homeless. many have been forced from their homes because they're unable to pay large increases in their rent. rob reynolds reports not los angeles. i feel there's no way to say it, but when you're out there you feel like everybody's laughing at you. we met rita rose in a women's homeless shelter in hollywood until recently she'd been living on the streets after being forced out of her apartment, alice literally laying on benches and b, i just, i was like, scared to death. i didn't know what to do to spend hell. i mean, i'll be 66 years old and june. i mean, i have no business on the street. people over age 50 like rita, are becoming homeless in alarming numbers. they make up half of all on house people in california 2020, which were our latest numbers. the estimates were for eli county, you know, you had a roughly 13, a 15 percent increase in homelessness, but a 20 percent increase in older adult homelessness. homelessness takes a heavy toll on older people. the average life expectancy of a person experiencing homelessness is about 47 years old. as compared to a person who's in permanent housing about 77, few homeless persons survive past age, 65 or on house people. years of living on the street actually accelerate the aging process. people in their fifties often show signs of illnesses or conditions war, common people in their seventies. we do see this phenomenon of accelerated aging. you see things such as urinary incontinence, dementia, you know, just being able to complete activities of daily living becomes more challenging for this population. and you talk about somebody who just in their fifties, correct? yeah. experts say the housing shortage and steeply rising, rents are the main reasons for the surgeon, homeless elders, older people on income's like the federal old age pension program are being pushed out of housing. they rented for years for others, a one time medical crisis or a major expense can end up in homelessness. california's governor gavin knew some plans to spend an unprecedented 750000000 dollars this year on housing for the most vulnerable reader. rose who receives disability payments is waiting for a subsidized apartment to open up thrilling in o my body. chance for housing in of course i'd pay my bills, hoping for a basic need to be met and a measure of dignity in life's waning years. rob reynolds al jazeera los angeles, our well still a, had here. all these are in full. tom brady remains on track to win the superbowl number 8 action for the nfl playlist. coming up with job, straight up to the bike. ah ah ah ah ah ah, book about his photo history. thank you very much organized the beijing winter olympics. it said that there will be no tickets to go on sale to the general public because of cobra. 19. i've been out that some tickets will be distributed to targeted groups of people, but it's not yet clear exactly what that means or who these groups are. i had already been decided in september, they would be no international spectators at the games. because the pandemic, and last month, the n h l said its players would not compete in beijing because of coven 19 disruptions to the league schedule. now to be unblocked from playing at the australian open tennis number, one of our joke of which faces being banned from the french open as well of the country sports minutes to confirm that unvaccinated athletes will no longer be able to compete in france. joke, which was unable to play in melbourne after being deported on sunday, following 11th a legal battle over his vaccination status as part of the patient. the french open amaze, now looking in doubt, joke, which is the defending champion at roland garrath. while for more than this, we can bring in our correspondent natasha butler in paris. natasha what all the noodles we seem to have lost our connection to. natasha will try and come back to her in a little while. but in the meantime, let's move on because the nfl wildcard playoffs have been happening and tom brady remains on calls for an 8th super bowl title. he threw to touch with the pending champions, tampa bay buccaneers beat the philadelphia eagles. 31 point to 15. tampa bay a 2nd season next sunday, in the se, divisional place. they will host the winner of monday night's game between the hours of the cardinals and l. a ram. you know, just trying to figure out a way to move all done filling for some points. i thought we did a good job in a couple of those areas. we ran the ball really well line play, great receiver. so great had and so great. so use a lot of different people and everyone got in there, made some place help with him when defense by great specialties was amazing. so when i need it again, next week, it only gets tougher from here. let's go back to that whole story that we were talking about earlier natal. tasha butler joins us now from paris. natasha, i was just asking you what all the new rules that might affect nova joke of its being able to play the french open while the french government is putting in place aid. so conveyed vaccine parson that is going to make life very difficult indeed for long vaccinated sports fans and plays because what it means essentially, is that people won't be able to go to a stadium, a football ground, a gym, or a swimming pool, or any sports venue really, if they are not vaccinated, that will hold true for spectators and also of course for players. so in terms of our professional sport and players, we are looking at a string of events that could possibly be impacted in terms of whether or not some of those plays are vaccinated. now we're coming up in february, march, you've got the rugby of 6 nations tournament. you've also got late to the sea, of course, the tor defroster cycle, right?
