The densely populated low lying areas around the bay of bengal are used to cyclers bottom urgency authorities they will be harder to manage as they try to stop the spread to the coven of virus. Polluted or disaster some law gets out. We are dealing with 2 disasters for the 1st time the 1st disaster is ongoing covered 1000. 00 which you all know about and during this outbreak another disaster is now in front of us which is in the form of a cycle on. Emergency shelters only being jews did half capacity. Or. That starting is many and so this for poor as you know. This is also running out of specific names one day. While east india and bangor they show in the storms path heavy rain and flooding farm pond killed 2 people in sri lanka those living in coastal areas have been warned against leaving their homes until the cyclon passes elizabeth aljazeera new delhi well lets hear now from kremer whos in kolkata with more on the impact of the storm.

The National Guard has oxygen believe management teams as i listed these off the teams are on unsolved and its impossible the city im in the state will assess the situation and also apart from better forest go fish and then go back and read it we die and theres no question that the rest of those that live there or does it mean what youre also just you know put up asked to please the brunt of the song which is at the speed of about one block and you know well why you know where are the u. N. Envoy for the middle east has told the Security Council that israel must abandon its planned on that station of 30 percent of the occupied west bank under a deal with the United States israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could begin the next in Palestinian Land as soon as july the palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas has called for countries to recognize the state of palestine and impose sanctions on israel jews bases at the United Nations where he says the u. N. Continues to support a 2 state solution in the occupied west bank. For nickel im laid off is the special coordinator for the middle east Peace Process giving his reaction to the threat of annexation clearly this has been talked about for a long time many thought that Prime Minister netanyahu was going to use this as an election ploy but since hes been back in office he says no definitely i am going to annex parts of the west bank the uns position on that is very clear it strongly supports a 2 state solution mr milligan off said it would be a clear breach of International Law and more interesting i think was his reaction to the announcement from president abbas that the palestinians will withdraw from all their agreements in cooperation with the israelis and the message from the u. N. Is we understand their point. If i may speak only very frankly on the issue. Whatever our individual assessments of the palestinian reaction to israeli threats of an extension maybe it is certainly one thing it is a desperate cry for help it is a call for immediate action it is a cry for help from a generation of leaders know can invest that their lives in building institutions and preparing for statehood for over a quarter of a century. Palestinian leadership is not threatening it is calling rosen action to preserve peace well we heard from a barrister kelly craft what i think was important is what we didnt hear from her because all the ambassadors of the Security Council now speaking for the Chinese Ambassador speaking as as i speak and all of them are saying israel please do not carry out an exception we did not hear that from the u. S. Ambassador the dynamics in the Security Council for some time have been 14 to 114 members on one side of the issue and the u. S. On the other on things like the recognition of jerusalem as israels capital the u. S. Recognition of the Golan Heights as part of israel and clearly that dynamic i think is still the situation in the Security Council its interesting the u. N. Now saying that where this should go is back to something that really hasnt done some much for very long time and thats the socalled core tat that is key players the e. U. The u. N. The u. S. And russia the u. N. Is saying they need to get together now and sort things out because the trunk plan didnt move things forward and something is urgently needed to try and restart peace efforts and Israeli Court has ordered Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to appear in person when his corruption trial begins on sunday netanyahu has laws applied for dispensation but the attorney general demanded that he be present Prime Minister is indicted for bribery for fraud and for breach of trust for exacting gifts from wealthy businessmen for dispensing favors to get more positive press coverage netanyahu denies any wrongdoing. Well Health Organization says 106000 new cases of corona virus have been reported globally over the last 24 hours and thats the most in a single day since the outbreak began.

Turn invoking 1944 law which allows the president to block migration to prevent a dangerous disease from spreading when on tuesday donald trump announced that the policy will stay in place and definitely and will be reviewed every 30 days well leon fresca is the former Deputy Assistant attorney general in charge of immigration at the United States Department Justice and he believes the usual safeguards seem to have been just put to one side. For almost 2 decades theres been a Settlement Agreement in a court laws that say that when a migrant under under or under a child came to the United States they would have to be accepted in the United States and allowed to go through a formal remove all process and there was then a congressional statute that was passed in 2008 that reinforced that and now what the administration is doing is its trying to say that the 1944 Public Health law that was pious that allowed the government the block and threes of people during a Public Health emergency even even overcomes the later laws that dealt with unaccompanied children and so thats the that legal debate thats out there is whether thats true and the administration has taken a very wide blanket knew that it does and theyre going to try to help to remove any child but in their custody that they get reported problems by the United States i think maybe at the beginning of the cold big crisis you could have easily made the argument look at that book for children and adults to be sitting in customs and Border Protection Holding Facilities together when you dont know sick and who isnt sick and thats all d we was this thing starts to ramp up theres not really the same arguments in terms of well could you got least that test someone to the terminal they have coronavirus and if they dont have it then you can create a situation whereby they can and theyre the United States on northerly cries of the greek these proceedings and so i think thats where the courts are going to come out on some of these things is theyre going to be much more practical.

That greenery is not something youd expect to find in the region of antarctica the coldest confidence in the well but scientists have found vast quantities of green algae living in melting snow it covers almost 2 square kilometers and its so dense it can be seen from space for the scientists blame Climate Change for the northern peninsula becoming the becoming among the fastest will be regions in the world takes only can speak to understand it whos a professor of earth observation at the university of leeds he joins us from our gate via skype in new york from the United Kingdom welcome to the program says it 1st of all that when you think events out if you think of this vast frozen whiteness but things are changing whats it all about. Well things are changing in particular the northern tip of antarctica which is opposite south america and its getting warmer and warmer there and for some time now weve seen the signal of that change in the ice so you might have heard stories about ice melting or icebergs breaking off. But this is interesting because this is now showing is that its warm enough to change the things that can live there as well right and part of that ecosystem that lives there which is incredibly rich are all the animals are wells and penguins so for the live along and all because coastlines what does it what implications does it does a new part of the ecosystem thats emerging like this have the sort of animals well its quite incredible really because most of the animals that live in antarctica or Marine Mammals and they come and sit on the land to maybe take a rest or to have babies and things like that we dont have very much plant life there at all and algae are a form of plant life and if they can take a foothold in antarctica then the next thing that will come will be things that want to eat and so we could be witnessing the start of quite a change for the environment so is there a positive spin to this where you dont want to see the ice melt in antarctica because of the sea level rising implications but actually takes in a Greenhouse Gas doesnt have it takes in c o 2. Yeah it does and so i think thats one of the things that the authors of the study it pointed out thats the Positive Side of things but its definitely not a Positive Side of the story to think that antarctica will no longer be the cold project place that everyone expects it to be and will be somewhere different types of creatures want to recall in eyes in the very distant past and thought it was just a forest actually that was many many millions of years ago and we dont expect it to be anything like that soon but if it are you can live. Worms and if they get there then something will come and eat worms right so remind us again of whats at stake here if this does presage a greater melting of the antarctic continent and the ice sheet itself and why is that so serious and why is it so important well i smelting of course is a real problem for everyone around the planet because any ice that melts and so can the sea and we feel that instantly wherever we are on the planet even though antarctica is a very long way away if the sea sea level changes it changes around a whole planet and in fact it effects as most in the Northern Hemisphere if ice is lost down south and and then in one respect the fact that we see new life forms emerging in antarctica is just another signal that the place is getting too hot and too hot for the ice to withstand your professor of earth observation briefly tell us about that and how important viewing these areas from space is. Well to be i mean im pretty old and in the olden days we used to trying to stamp people by save these are big enough to be seen from space but a great wall of china im old enough to know that but now we have fantastic sensors in space that can see all kinds of things a massive detail. We use them people abuse them to see even penguin colony is nontoxic it not the penguins themselves but they can see the message the way they leave behind and its the same principle this is not a huge crush of what we can detect it quite clearly from space because it stands out against the white background and so its another wonderful way to use Satellite Technology to to explore our planet under such shephard a fantastic sort to a very fascinating conversation thanks a lot thank you. Now a chinese man has finally been reunited with his parents 32 years after he was abducted and its all thanks to facial Recognition Technology so hard as his report.
