ah, among the top stories are now dra 0. the u. k is reported its highest number of daily code infections of the pandemic, or 78000 cases were confirmed on wednesday as artists in europe. se omicron will be the dominant variant in the you by the middle of january. he was president joe biden has visited kentucky, the state worst affected by fridays, devastating series of tornadoes across 6 states at east 88 people have been killed, and more than a 100. a still missing has been a breakthrough at the iran nuclear talks in vienna. aaron's foreign minister says un cameras will be allowed to film at a sensitive nuclear side. issue had been a sticking point in efforts to revive the landmark deal. john chancellor la shots says his country is open to constructive dialogue with russia. but warned

moscow that any further aggression against ukraine would have a high price. sholtes made the remarks his 1st speech to parliament since his election as chancellor last week dominic cane as more from berlin in terms of foreign policy priorities. mister schultz is pretty clear for him right now. it was important to stress that in eastern europe, and specifically with a message to moscow that any violation of ukraine's territorial integrity will be challenged by his government and by the rest of the european union. this is what he had to say to german politicians in parliament did. if i let so tell it to any violation of territorial integrity, we'll have a high price and we will speak with one voice here with our european partners in our transit. lana callous. domestic policy is also very important to mister schultz and his colleagues around the cabinet table. but the one pressing issue is no doubt cove is and how to deal with cove is. we know that mr. chavez, his preferred resolution is to get as many vaccines into people's arms as possible,

whether that be 1st and 2nd vaccines all the booster vaccine. but we also know that mister schultz believes that there should be some form of mandatory requirement. he's going to give members of parliament of free vote, not on party lines of free vote about what they should decides and that should come in the next few weeks months, but he wants whatever measures are him are agreed on to have teeth, may be people who don't have vaccines might be find that's for the future. but for now it's pretty clear. he thinks cove it dealing with it is his top priority. latino is it how much mid fellow at the german national found he joins us live from washington. dcs. what did you make of the the 1st speech chancellor? shout. well, he gave a 70 minute speech with a long speech. he was actually touching upon everything that the coalition treating . and he was very clear and we just heard that on russia,

and i think that was very interesting point because they did, he had somewhat of a soft approach child. so russia, so he had a very, very clear statement on that one. but in fact, when it comes to corporate business, his main concern, and i think he pointed out that or what he wanted. and this comes on the backdrop of quite some to be a protest with being in particular and the, some parts of germany against a mandatory of explanation. just to go back to the russia question and he wanted it look to the you're trying to sound that is there, he'll be tougher on, on russia. where do you think this, this coalition will position itself in the end on russia? well, you have to the green, cardia inter being in charge of the foreign ministry and you have the social democrats being in charge of the champs, hillary. and this really is probably one of the main can conflicting lines. we're, we're seeing here because the greens are very hawkish when it comes to russia on, on china. and the social democrats are, as i said, much softer,

we have to see who's actually calling sharp when it comes to foreign policy. is it going to be the chancellor? you are going to be the foreign ministry. there are a couple of statements out there which are indicating but we seem to have lost the sound on macos tina if you can still hear as we just try and see if we just reestablish the sound with you. we seem different on we have present, not looking great. is it or trying to see if we can get marcus? deena a back in a minute and see if we can think of his last him. thank him for his time for a moment. ah, we go back, sorry, martina, we lost you the technical problem for a moment and you were talking about the, the, the stance on, on russia. one of the things that's happened now is that they've expelled to russian diplomats. it was a measure of attraction, man, berlin, do you think that's a kind of one of the early signs that things might be a bit different type of russia? yeah,

i don't know whether you got that. what i said earlier about the conflicting lines between the greens and the social democrats, i think we are seeing a more hawkish approach from the green party here from lena bear, who is on your foreign minister. and we, we expect that much stock approach from the social democrats now given all what's going on with ukraine, whether it's now this killing and dissent sentencing. we saw today of the, of the murder of the judge and individual who got killed on the open daylight and berlin. it's probably more difficult for the social democrats to continue with the soft approach towards russia because this is just a rages and i think the sentencing of some of a lifelong imprisonment is very telling. do you think russia will be wanting to exploit those differences that you talked about between the parts of the coalition? well, we'll see how they can explore that. i don't, i don't see that at this point. i mean, for russia, you have to keep in mind it's,

i think, very important to keep the not going to pipeline to get that into operation. we are probably looking here, time wise into the summer next year. so if this is used as a bargaining chip chip from the german side to say, well, if you don't behave if you attack ukraine, if you do other things we don't like, then we probably will not open the pipeline. if this is the case, then probably the green approach of being more hawkish on, on russia may pay off. we, we have to see how this thing out. i mean, the social democrats always were in favor of not string to why, because germany is phasing out of coal and of nuclear energy at the same time. and we somehow have to rich that, that energy gap mach a senior. thank you very much indeed. federal windows, thank you. our leaders of russia and china have held a video conference the 2nd this year. and she's being invited putin pledge to

increase corporation as a trade energy and security. but this katrina, you reports from beijing, some in the west view, the deepening ties of suspicion. this is it is a virtual summit and show of solidarity the presidents of china and russia. she didn't ping and vladimir putin spoke for more than an hour on wednesday, hailing their close ties. voltaire, the wall, has undergone unprecedented changes. and upon double in the last entry sign, a rotten religious, how wisdom the term of versa. storms as low as the deep historical traditions of friendship and a mutual understanding have allowed us to take our relations to the next breakthrough level. trade between china and russia exceeded 115000000000 dollars this year. a new high. the leaders pledge to increase corporation on energy paging already relies on moscow from much of its minerals. oil and natural gas plans are underway for nuclear power stations. they're also coordinating on efforts to

further space exploration and scientific innovation. chinese analysts say the relationship is now stronger than it's ever been fail, milan was ads, or that the 2 countries supported each other in their core interests. for example, when it comes to china's core interests, those are territorial, integrity and sovereignty development and security. the meeting comes as both nations face mounting criticism for their policies at home and abroad. russia for a mass build up of troops on its border with ukraine and china for increasing military activity. new taiwan, a self, rhode island, dating claims as its own. common interests, as well as color grievances have brought china and russia closer together. both face rising tensions with the u. s. and its allies, as well as accusations of human rights abuses, and birth hasn't diverse support each other on the international stage. officials in washington have under schooled a growing military threat from birth, russia, and china, putin. and she,

you say they'll work more closely when it comes to security. they have conducted several joint exercises this year. moscow provides bating advanced weaponry, including fighter jets and missile defense systems. the u. s. is now completely focused on great powered competition after they left afghanistan. so there is a short window of opportunity i think that both moscow amazing see before the u. s . military kind of gears up for this great power competition. and they are trying to explain that the leaders are known to share a good personal bond. several countries have declared diplomatic boycotts of dating 2022 winter olympics. but vladimir putin has confirmed his attendance. the only major leader to do so, so far. katrina, you out a 0, they ting. a coalition government has been announced in the netherlands after the longest anger. she ations in the country's history, $273.00 days. but the new government has been formed with the same parties,

despite the previous government being forced to resign over child care benefit scandal, said bus and reports in the hague. dutch photos have to wait 9 months to see the same faces from the same parties, announcing a new government acting prime minister, margaret of the santa right favored a party, promised a new start with the democrats, christian democrats, and a small christian party. no longer the exact same coalition was forced to step down earlier this year after almost $50000.00 parents were wrongly accused by tax authorities of child care benefit fraud and investigation found that some were victims of racial profiling natasha. d by was forced to pay back nearly $120000.00 and lost her job, her house and suffered from strokes con on mentally ex not need. i think it's in, you mean, i don't understand how this is possible. they've done this to us and, and not only to us but to so many people feel how is it possible that the same people who did this can still be there? so it's not that how long it in their coalition agreement to parties acknowledge

the 1st thing they need to do is to restore trust. a recent survey showed at only 16 percent of dutch people still have confidence in the government strategy to tackle the gulf. it been demick, riots broke out and several cities in response to restrictions. why didn't you decide if we want a new government with a new face? this is not my, i should not run. i should not, of course i'm an even responsible for everything which is not going well and it's absolutely your quit showed the child benefit scandal. of course it happened on my watch. it was not my personal doing, but absolutely true. i was prime minister when that happens for many, so don't understand your you're here again, you're the new prime minister. yes, but we step down as a government in january, we 40 elections and march of my party, one after 9 month and at times painful negotiations. the new government looks very much like the old one. and although the 50 page agreement promises ambitious plans

and a new approach, many wonder if it will be enough to restore confidence in politics. the new government has allocated billions for far reaching climate policies to build new houses and improve the education system. i would say we have a leader ship problem in the netherlands. or, for instance, our prime minister positions himself explicitly as her political manager, an he declined to show any moral leadership on important issues. say what the rule of law is, what the significance of loneliness is in the cove it's pandemic. and so it's only managing present problems, but no vision, but of her to who will most likely lead his forth cabinet is optimistic, the new government that took so long to build will bring change. although some worry it might not live long enough to fulfill its promises. steadfast and al jazeera, the hague, now habit at the habitat destruction climate change and growing pesticide use. a threatening africa's bees. as, according to scientists in kenya,

who say their crucial role as pollinators of crops and wild plants is at risk. there is hope africa could avoid the destruction of bees seen in north america and europe. welcome web reports from miranda in kenya. the avocado trees on james worries farm were on the purchasing by about a 5th one. he says he didn't even know until he joined the research program here in kenya disorder that's when he learned about pollination and about the crucial role of pollinating insects and the law become on the words that gloomy rewards is like having a 100 culls. but only one bull. it can't handle all the skulls if we have our countries, but without enough pollinators on the floors will be there. but maybe multiple national take place, so your produce will be reduced. as part of the research project, james started keeping bees on his form when they're not visiting the avocado flowers,

they're busy making honey. james cells expert say the pollination shortfall shows the something wrong. although keeping peace can help sciences say that the pollination gap has been effectively closed and that the avocado trees and are producing their maximum harvest. they're right next to the b hives. the researches say that the bees themselves facing some grave threats. the un program of spraying locust that have played east africa over the last 2 years added to an already increasing use of chemical pesticides from of use them to help me growing populations, demands of food be the rules are threatened by destruction of their natural habitat to make way for farmland and growing cities, changing climate posies, new threats. the scientists working here had africa leading insect research center

say there's a lack of data compared to other continents. samples of pollen grains from beehives can help fill in some of the picture as can samples of food crops. in them they found pesticides that are banned in other continents and signs of over use. they're also keeping and studying thousands of species of wild bees which play a greater role in pollination, but more vulnerable than the bees that a kept to make honey. they will let in scientists, michael lat or says the destruction of bees caused by intensive agriculture in europe in the us. or it could be avoided in africa. to that we would be able to learn from the mistakes that have been done before and use more. agra ecological approaches to sustain these ecosystems and to have a sustainable production and also a sustainable increase in production. and i think there, there are lots of solutions, many small hood of homicide, already practicing them. james is one of them designed to say, be keeping on

a farm can offset the destruction of natural pollinators, but protecting the rest of the ecosystem will take more malcolm web al jazeera moraga can. yeah. can the office use our with all your sport with jenna? yes, it was semi finals day at the fif our cut. wow. syria anti museum booked us thoughts in the decide us all the goals. i'm drama coming up after the break. ah.

with oh, blue ah, for your company where live from our our cup studio. and i am devon asked helen speak

coming your way. dramatic scenes at a fee for our crops, any finals algeria pete cat saw the goal is $17.00, committed to stop the late drama, also stadium and $97.00. 14 is in funds. go wild. that team of books, if you decide to add a potentially a huge round, was developing between european clubs on the confederation of african football to very dramatic matches in the semi finals of the fee for our cop. a short time ago, algeria survived a late come back from ice nation cattle and the richardson was at to out to mom a stadium enjoying all the action. and the much of the talk has been about the amount of stoppage time it just break it down for us a really confusing end. so would it be pretty sort of straightforward game for most

of it, i'll jerry looks be cruising into the, into the final are leading one nail polish referee, 90 minutes somewhat perplexed the crowd on the players by announcing to be 9 minutes of injury on the floor the hadn't been a huge number of delays during the game. in the 7 minutes of injury time mohammed one, sorry, look just where we become. something at a savior. the capital, a national team scoring an equalizer. there was a lot of complaints than from the algerian team. about whether or not the game should have actually still been going on a credit to them. they picked themselves up one of penalty and in the 17th minutes of about a time. so that was still at a time on top of the out of time. they got a penalty that eventually resulted in the winner. they still played on for a couple more minutes after that. but eventually the game did come to an end. algeria winning, she won the end result. not what many of the the organizes and the fans have. the ones that would be going through to a 3rd place player on saturday can get the final. i will be algeria versus june,

is in focus on out then, but pull the to find them out of the walk up. do you think well they have reached 3 semi finals in told them and since they won the asian cup in 2019, the goal is to the last 4 in the gulf couplets from that year. the early this year they were playing in the gold cup for north and central american teams with a guest invite. see they go to the last full there and i will, bates, and by the us and through to, to the semi finals. and this tournament, i will see getting through to the last 4 or something of an achievement in itself, but they really would fancy the chances of at least getting to the final in this era of cup capsule do have their full strength team. they told them, al jerry, just one of the many countries have not been able to bring the european bass players. i'm over here effectively. and algeria 18, the coach felix sanchez of castle saying his plans that he's had in place for the last 3 or 4 years wouldn't be derailed by the faith in this game or in the final.

but for people to be watching kat so closely over the last 18 months or so, since the one that i should have been some questions as to whether or not he's been showing too much loyalty to the school, the one that asian title, and perhaps it might be time to switch things up now. i had of those finals next year. andy, thank if that will let you can have a light down. now after watching that much as and he mentioned out area or face chin is it for the trophy, they were the 1st team to reach the final and they have an objection and go to thank joanna roscoe. was that to see the late drama? i. 6 have provided many twists and turns, but none perhaps more shocking than at the game of stadium 97 for where to nearby egypt with an ultimate cake of this match. it was egypt kept in the army as folio who made a big mistake in putting the ball into his own net that allowed to this he had to win that magic one now. and they were unhappy. and as you can imagine in friend

charing, and the 2 in team celebrating on the page but devastation for the egyptian fans who had exited, that team had done so well in this tournament. they hadn't lost at all. in fact, all the way up to the semi final but it is today the are who go through now to the final on saturday. and i'll be hoping to end up $5080.00, a white the last time they won an hour up title was back in 1963. got a nurse with her. i didn't want to make comments about this and i got a want to finish the career, but i don't really care. okay, we're wrapping them psychological. my team would have been all good decision. got a pretty broad to display. do you that was hold up. i know you very much, mike roger, this rep or you did make

a quick note is about all we represent egypt, coach that might have some excess about this european clubs are threatening and not 30 players for the africa cup of nations that would include top premier league stars like egypt, mammoth seller, and algeria is rad mares. the cup of nations is the premier event in african football and set to kick off january income range. it's already been delayed by a yet because of corona virus, but that's growing. concerned about the only con variance, the european club association has been lobbying for the payment of the torment. and it's our sins, a fee for informing them they have no intention to release players. the tournament can insist that the africa cup of nations will go ahead as planned. yeah, i was joined here in the studio by uganda, and his son is ayesha. come again. she says that the european club association is being selfish the flares before they join the european clubs are african slaves. they, their players from the countries that they come from. so to say that,
