tools were over a decade of war. we examined the global power games of president bashar al assad. we believe assad simply carrying out iranian orders. what keeps you awake at night? many a reason that could effect any human eyesight master of chaos on al jazeera. ah, it says it has moved some of the migrants stranded on the boat border with poland to nearby warehouses. hundreds of iraqi migrants and refugees who was stopped from crossing into the e u at that border and now being repatriated. ah, hello again on cam al santa maria here in doha. this is the world news from al jazeera. c security holes is a fire, t against protest is in sudan of demonstrations against the military. continue will
7:01 pm
get the latest compared to other countries in europe. see a surgeon corona virus infections, but with growing resistance to restrictions, governments have some tough decisions to make an a samba memorial. a town in croatia marks one of the darkest moments in its history. ah, it's a busy news day on al jazeera. we will start with the political and humanitarian crisis at the bell roost, poland border 1st, the battle origin state news agency is reporting that authorities are now moving migrants and refugees away from the border. thousands have been stuck in freezing conditions in that area. g 7 foreign ministers. meanwhile, the calling for a swift resolution at planning minutes for encouraging people to cross russia though it's fully supporting belarus and says it's the west that's manufactured. this crisis did you get?
7:02 pm
those are still low, but new certainly is was one cannot help but see that western countries are using the migration crisis on the bell, russian polish porter as a new reason for tension in the region that is close to us and to pressure minced and at the same time, they forget their own obligations in the humanitarian sphere, zibert. and while some of the migrants and refugees are, are moving. but rather than heading to europe, the iraqi government is actually bringing more than 400 of its citizens home on that repatriated flight. right. let's start with jonah holl, he's on poland side of the border with beller, if you were saying last hour. jonah, how it's difficult to verify things, certainly from where you are. and we have to take things with a grain of salt when it comes from the bell russian state use. that said, what are they saying about the movement of people into these warehouses? what actually since we spoke last hour, i've seen some video footage some drone footage taken above the border area on the beller ocean side, which quite clearly seems to show that the now deserted largely deserted forest
7:03 pm
camps to them side by side. and people being moved to a large logistics facility, a few 100 meters away within which there is a warehouse that was made available to them couple of days ago, hastily converted so that they could move in with some sort of fairly rudimentary bedding at provided and some aid supplies, basic relief, supplies, and food. and you could now sort of see the way that the people who had remained in the forest camp 2 days ago have been moved. it is an enormous logistics facility. how many buildings within it are now occupied? i have no way of knowing, but people are actually be it be moved into that space. so the independent reporting suggests from interviews conducted inside the people are overcrowded, that they say that the supplies are not adequate for the numbers of people in there . but at least it does appear as though they are now covered in cover with some protection from the cold. and is there any movement, joan,
7:04 pm
or on the diplomatic side of things? i think the diplomacy is happening on various so the levels at the moment we know that they've been context between anglo merkel and alexander lucas and co that provided an avenue of conversation about aid supplies and repack creation. we know that the recreation flights began one flight took off today with something like $370.00 people on it, heading towards the rock. that is another avenue, if you like, of diplomacy. we understand from a press conference this evening with the polish and german interior ministers that another flight has been laid on tomorrow, also going to iraq and were told that the german prime minister has spoken to the iraqi prime minister and been assured that iraq will continue where possible to facilitate these repatriation assuming of course there are enough people who continue to want to volunteer to be on these flights. but if you're looking at,
7:05 pm
say, another couple of 100 people leaving tomorrow, and who knows more after that, you quite quickly whittle down through 2000 people and start to see that moving away. at the same time, this perhaps a more or less, rather provocative stand from alexander lucas shanker. in his treatment of these people who were left out in the open, very visible and very obviously visible to put pressure on the you now house, that's one thing. it may be and look, this is slightly in the realm of speculation, but it may be that he is calculating that he is not going to get what he wants. he won't get the political recognition he creek craves from the e u. he's not going to have sanctions lifted, and perhaps it begins to seem like there is less and less to be gained by pursuing this strategy. john hall on the poland, bella. ruth bought a thank you for that update. john talked about the repack creation flights. let's go to the other end of that story with them run con, who's at the airport in the rocky city of, or bailey, and run. well,
7:06 pm
i can tell you that the flight i a 272 is now landed in apple. people are coming up that flight. that flight contains 431 passengers. the vast majority of those passengers and now leaving that aircraft and coming into a build. they're being met by family members and, and joseph from the kurdish regional government. the kurdish regional government has also held a press conference here at the airport. they've been speaking now. what they've said is that these flights when negotiated with the, by the russian government, that there was some tuning and fro and going on as to where the flight was going to land. whether it was gonna be bagged at 1st. or there is going to be a bill and how many flights they might be we are hearing now that there will be another flight on friday and perhaps a potential another one on saturdays. well, following the same route that's coming into our bill. and then on to baghdad, but crucially, what at the k r g spokesman actually said was that he blamed the smugglers for.
7:07 pm
busy allowing people to go to bell roofs in the 1st place. and he said this was a criminal activity he did there. the k r g seemed that tactic here, seems to be blaming the fact that smugglers are enticing people to actually go to the valuation border and try and get into your from there. what we've been doing, we over the last couple of days when speaking to people who have actually returned back from that border, who want to go into your, what they've been telling us is actually it's the political as corruption and nepotism situation here in iraq. that doesn't allow them to get jobs, allow them to work, which is driving them, the smugglers, mainly the facilitators. but clearly the kurdish result government is decided that the smugglers are the focal point for them. and not only have they done that, they also announced that they arrested 10 smugglers in the kurdish regional area. and they say they going to try and smack their cut down and crush those smuggling rings, or they aren't able to operate. so that's really the message coming out from there
7:08 pm
. but like i say, more repatriation flights expected in the next couple of days. and we should be seeing and hearing from is the both very shortly. yes, thank you. in montana bill actually on the right hand side of screen right now, we see some of those people, the live pictures, the 1st pictures of people arriving back off that flight. i mean, just think about what they've been through in just the past. well, week or so. phrasing conditions on that pole and beller rous border now repatriated . this is our bill in the northern parts are of iraq. people. it seemed a little bit earlier, even needing a bit of medical attention after that arduous journey have been through will keep an eye on those pictures we'll be talking to him or in con, again a little bit later. for now, other news and more confrontations have taken place between security forces and protesters in sudan police of 5 t, a gas at demonstrators. remember these 15 people were killed on wednesday after security forces open fire. people have been anchored by the military's refusal to hand back power to civilians. more with hyper morgan in cot, sherman, hipaa,
7:09 pm
the place hello news conference a little bit earlier and had i think what somebody might, what some people might think is a, a surprising reaction or a surprising reason, at least for why they used live ammunition yesterday. well that's one thing they said they did not use, they said they used tear gas, they used battens, and they used the minimal force that they felt they should use against protesters, but they also his protested of not being peaceful. they said the protests on november 17th and the one previously on november 13th, a witness protested, attacking police properties that some properly meant were injured by protesters. and that's a complete opposite of the testimonies given by the protests as themselves. now since thursday morning, they've been setting a barricade on main street and on residential neighborhoods, protesting the amount of force that was used by the security forces. several doesn't have been injured in the protests on wednesday,
7:10 pm
and at least 15 people have been killed. so protested, say that the, the statements by the police force and by the, by the state police is not what has has been happening on the crown that they said that the documented, the attacked by security forces. they've documented the use of live ammunition and documented people been killed and the, the, you could see the bullets are the wounds on those of processes who happen kill. so they say that the testimony of the bill police is not accurate. now since morning, police has once again been using tear gas to open the barricades and paved the way for transport movement and for traffic movement at while protested, they're going to continue to voice their anger by the 4 against the fours that was used by the security forces processes, they said that they were largely peaceful, that they have not been armed and they see no reason for security forces to use targets and live ammunition against them when they were simply voicing their demands. almost immediately after the military takeover happens, incentives and communications were cut or throttled at the very least as that
7:11 pm
improved at all. yes indeed, around a 14 a gm, 2 or 4 o'clock local time internet users and hudson report said that they were starting to gradually receive internet connection or rather messages on their cellphone's via internet. so at the moment many people say that they can actually access the internet including social media, some say that they still need vpn to be able to access facebook, twitter, and other social media accounts. but most users who have spoken to say that they are able to use it without internet. and that's largely because there has been cases against telecommunications companies. now on thursday morning, the public prosecutor announced that if the telecommunication companies do not restore internet to the users, especially those who rely on mobile internet, then they will move and a rest of the directors. and the managers of the internet companies here, or the telecom companies here in sudan, and that the following 2 orders by the courts for the companies to route to restore
7:12 pm
internet, to the mobile users via satellite and fiber cable internet was largely available for users. but those who relied on the more vile and cell phone services we're not able to access. so now in sudan people can acts as many of them are saying that this is, this has been a violation of basic human rights of their ability to express themselves freely and to be able to say what has been happening and show the world was that what has been happening around sedan and that now that the intimate is back, they will be able to put out what they say, atrocities committed against for testers, over the past and to 5 days. heber morgan with the latest from how soon stood and thank you, fibber, we're looking at scope news from europe and with a new wave of virus sweeping across the continent. governments are scrambling to respond. germany's lower house of parliament has agreed on new measures has been a record rate of infections there, and a 3rd of the population hasn't been vaccinated. the netherlands has gone back to a partial lockdown that happened on saturday. and in the past few hours, it reported a record number of coven infections as well. a country running out of test kits as
7:13 pm
well. and a similar picture in greece, where cases, the surging, the government has ordered private sector doctors to come in and help the struggling health system. we're going to focus on germany with dominant cain reporting from berlin. exactly. what has the government old upon it agreed on? dominic the numbers that serious saying that come out are staggering in one sense the pandemic here in germany now is in some ways worse than it has ever been. more than 5000000 cases have been reported since the start of the pandemic, almost a 100000 deaths. again, since the start of the pandemic record numbers every day for many days now. and so parliament, the lower half of parliament, low house of parliament voted through some measures today which will need to be approved by the, in another parliamentary process by the other house of parliament. and that's in some doubt. what happened this morning, however, is just the 1st part of
7:14 pm
a 2 part act as it were right now. what we have is a much more important meeting between all the state prime ministers of this federal republic and anglo medical. all of shots. that's the finance minister, but the man who is probably going to replace macklin a few weeks time and they are thrashing at a much more centralized and worked through way to steer germany through this. the latest wave of the pandemic. so whereas the lower house talked about bringing in what they call the di, again, legal and german, the 3 g rule. in other words, that employers would require their employees to show that they'd either recovered from kobe recently that they've been vaccinated, or that they've had a very recent negative test role. this meeting, that angle immacule is chairing right now is going through the possibility of making it just a 2 g roll, where you'd have to prove that you view the recovered or that you've had the vaccination. some of her state prime ministers would have it go even further than
7:15 pm
that. those are the states where many people there say that they feel that their state has become almost a wash with cove it cases. those are the states to the south from the east saxony, bavaria towing in saxony and house. these are places where the incidences in some counties are 4 digit numbers more than a 1000 per 100000. so that's why we need to see what happened this morning. in parliament is just the 1st part. what is being talked through right now is far more important. and if it's all agreed upon, it will be implemented almost immediately. don, again, reporting from berlin. thank you, dominic, and we will have more on the outbreak here in europe. an update from our correspond an increase where the government is asking doctors from the private sector to help bounce plus candidates government deploy the military to help evacuate people. a
7:16 pm
severe flood. sweet british columbia. ah, ah, look forward to brighter skies the weather sponsored my cattle airways. hello there, the weather, sloshy set fare for china, for the korean peninsula. and for japan, we got some sherry rangers getting out of the way for japan over the next a day or so. but with high pressure in charge, china, at least for the time being, is largely settle. there will be a change as we make our way through friday, who are the more showers just coming into that southwestern corner of the country. and they will become more ex expansive. why spread as we go on through saturday? not particularly heavy, but they're nevertheless rather gray, dull and damp day for good part of the country. north grew, also seeing one or 2 showers, but largely dry south korea fine and dry with plenty of sunshine. as is the case by the state. of course, a good part of japan. sunshine is showers. meanwhile,
7:17 pm
across south east asia, the live your show has just been southern parts of vietnam was seen flooding recently into we're thailand, more heavy showers coming through here than this usual splattering of showers across malaysia and indonesia. some of those in the south, very much on the heavy side. so this is a very heavy rain recently for southern parts of india, this developing system bring more heavy downpours into tom another into under per dash. and it stays rather disturbed there, up towards the north, west, more heavy showers all the way up to goods, right. and even the northern plains. oh, the weather sponsored by casara always in the country with an abundance of results . great. far and walk indonesia whose firms forming we move pool to grow and fraud. we balance for green economy, blue economy, and the digital economy. with the new job creation law,
7:18 pm
indonesia is progressively ensuring the policy reform to create quality jobs invest . let pre pop linda. this is growth and progress invest, even if you're now, ah ah, he with al jazeera, these are all top stories, hundreds of iraqi migrants and refugees who has stopped at the poland, better responder. have just to ride back home the rocks foreign ministers trying to find others in belarus who also want to leave. security forces to fatigue asset demonstrate is in sudan on thursday. these 15 people were killed on wedding state after police opened fire on protesters. aries anger, over the military's refusal to hand power back to civilians and europe struggling
7:19 pm
with a new wave of cove at 19 germany. slo, house has passed new measures as it tries to contain another outbreak. the netherlands has just reported another record day of infections as well. as some of the picture increases while waiting as the surging and the government trying to bolster its struggling health system, john set up with us as more from athens. well right now, we're seeing that the government is enlisting doctors in the private sector. so go and do a stint in public hospitals which are running short of medical stuff. that's because cases are rising without seeing about $7000.00 a day, which is almost double the rate we were seeing at the end of the summer or the beginning of the awesome. and i see you rates of survival are running rather low. 17 percent of people who enter the i see you over the entire course of the pandemic . a coming out of the front door of the hospital, 83 percent are going out. the back vaccination teams are going out into the north
7:20 pm
of the country in order to target the 80 plus age group, where vaccination rates increase about 70 percent of them have been done. a lagging behind those in europe, where about 85 percent of that age group has had both shots. and the reason for that is that a very large majority of deaths is taking place in that age group. so i think what's, what we're seeing in greece is that there's been a certain level of complacency on the part of both society and perhaps even the government because it was thought that vaccination would protect people sufficiently for society to withstand high rates of many thousands of infections a day without that leading to more depth, but we are seeing that it is leading to more depth. and those deaf rates will rise . because in the last week, infections have spiraled up. supporters of argentina's government of rallied in the
7:21 pm
capital just days after mid term parliamentary elections was a show of strength after the government suffered some heavy losses. and refinement reports often when, as ours ah, 3 days after mid term elections, people from all over argentina, fill the streets around the government palace in one osiris, most the members of the main trade union groups, as well as social and neighborhood organizations. and there is strands of the parent is movement which backs the government, is the anniversary of the day they found a former president, one that on returned to argentina from exile in 1972 of hold on se dharmas bombing done as activists. we need to return to the streets because we couldn't during the 2 years on pandemic to this is our day to reflect and remember our joy of being together on the streets with. we're putting everything into our activism because we won a national popular government there to represent us all. we're marching together
7:22 pm
and we are marching forwards, sundays mid term elections. the government lost control of the senate, was weakened in the lower house and fed poorly in several provinces. where previously dominated the few here we're talking about the electoral damage. this doesn't look much like the fate, whether it's not supposed or with today's until the next. the lecture shows fred on the frame, just the 1st, the struggling government needs more than 40 percent of argentines live in poverty . inflation is rampant, and unemployment is rising. the country is also burdened with a huge debt to the international monetary fund. so we, we have these 2 processes going on at the same time. one very public is false celebration of victory, which is really buying time to process defeat. meanwhile, the right wing opposition voted out of power in 2019. now phil's emboldened to mate
7:23 pm
. they come back in 2 years time and we have this pending processing victory, which is, you know, how do we do things better next time? i think we'll talk about america president alberto finance. this remains confident, managing the crowds to support his plans for the rest of his term and better for mom or mac or a better future is coming. we're seeing on the horizon what we want to see an economy growing by 9 percent. one of the fastest growing in the world and this year will surely recover what it lost and the pandemic argentina is emerging from the pandemic with his economy weaker under growing pressure to find solutions both in the corridors of power and on the streets. showing their al jazeera when osiris the philippines government is accusing beijing of sabotaging a re supply mission in the disputed south. china see it says the incident happened
