on a just 0. ah, be the hero, the world needs a washer. ah, ah. inflation in the us, it's a 40 a high as the pandemic courses, higher price is the households and business it. ah, hello, i'm darn jordan. this is out as they are alive from dough, are also coming up talks within nato and russia and with no breakthrough of ukraine with both sides saying significant differences remain. britain's prince. andrew fails in his attempt to stop legal action in the us over sexual abuse allegations against him. and more than 20 people have been killed an indigenous communities

devastated by floods in south eastern brazil. ah, inflation in the united states is levels not seen in 40 years with prices rising for almost everything brought by consumers and businesses. the white house blamed disruption to global supply chains caused by the corona virus pandemic. our da 0 mike hannah reports from washington dc. price is for groceries rent another needed items continue to saw the own. the small shops are particularly hard hit as they see their customers beginning to treat what were every day purchases as luxuries. you can see how the money flows you can seeing when people are not getting the extras when they're getting coffee trip coffee instead of capital. you can see it. you can see how they pay. if they're paying in coins,

be increased in prices is now being felt at every gas station and in every grocery store. i just think for a little more careful, i notice it in almost every product. fruits vegetables, which we buy, a lot of jelly products. i can't really see anywhere that the prices have gone down, but they've gone up bottlenecks in the supply chains of distributors. the primary reason and these and turn, or the direct result of stopping shortages. as the pandemic continues to rage worldwide. at the stage, though, the head of the federal reserve insists there's no need for panic. that this is a temporary situation. we will use our tools to support the economy and a strong labor market and to prevent higher inflation from becoming entrenched. it's a similar message coming from the white house, which points to

a dropping unemployment rate as evidence that economic recovery is underway and is adamant that the supply chain issue will be resolved. we are well positioned to attack the challenges of prices and cost had on. and that's exactly what the president i and this administration are doing. but republicans continue to blame stimulus measures for overheating the economy. one thing is clear, it's impossible to predict the ongoing economic impact of the ami kron varian surge, which the nation continues to face. i don't believe we've seen that peak yet here in the united states. the rise in price increases reflect a harsh reality that in the pandemic. it's not just people who get sick, but the economy as well. mike, hannah, i'll jazeera washington with the world health organization says of a 15000000 people contracted coven 19 during the past week,

which is higher than at any time during the entire pandemic. it's more than 50 percent up on the previous 7 days. and the double h o says the number of deaths is also rising. let's be clear. why on the chrome, cose less severe dis is done. delta. it remains a dangerous virus, particularly for those who are unvaccinated. almost $50000.00 a week is $50000.00 does too many. when all the white house is announced, measures to expand testing the coven, 19 in schools, students, parents, and teachers of struggle with blended learning, which has become the norm since the pandemic began in chicago. a standoff between teachers, unions, and the government. so clos, suspended off a just a week. john henry report chicago's on again off again. schools are once again back in session. across the us, many public schools began the new year in the classroom with students and staff

alike. braving the omicron outbreak. but here schools delivered a lesson in whiplash. we just never know from day to day, week to week. how things are going to be and, and it doesn't allow our children to feel, feel secure, safe and what's going on. chicago's public schools opened then closed for a week as union teachers battled mayor laurie lightfoot over covered safety measures voting then opened again on wednesday for dave and andrea ro, thing 2 years of cove. it has taken its toll. my 8 year old. ah, she's because she's missed out so much. she now she has anxieties about going to school and this past week in particular, when there is i school closure. we didn't know what was happening day to day. there was, there were a lot of emotional breakdowns here and elsewhere. a big enough outbreak will still shutter individual schools with you as hitting a new record for daily coven cases this week. the biden administration and out new

measures to keep classrooms open. they include dramatically expanding testing for the virus in schools. the additional tests would improve access to an increasingly scarce commodity. these $10000000.00 additional test available each month will allow schools to double the volume of testing they were performing. in november, the president is clear, the nation schools can and should be open. even so keeping schools open remains a challenge. in new york city, students walked out in protest of what they called unsafe covered conditions in fort worth, texas. so many teachers are sick or quarantine that classrooms are being combined everywhere. it seems education in the covey or a remains of struggle. but in chicago, the battle between the city and union teachers has made the classroom an emotional roller coaster parents just being on the side line, not having a voice. just our feet in the hands of others has been incredibly frustrating. and

to be honest, it's probably going to be the reason why we leave chicago. the real things might find a school district with more predictable schedule, but with covey entering its 3rd year more contagious than ever. for the foreseeable future, there's no escaping the global pandemic. john henderson, l g 0, chicago, australia is immigration minister has yet to decide on with a tennis world. number one, know that junk of it can stay with the australian open drawer to be announced in the coming hours. early on wednesday. joke of it's admitted to break in corona virus isolation rules and his native serbia. last month he says an interview, he did offer a positive. cobit 19 test was an arab judgement. was australian visa was revoked after you arrive last week. now that was overturned by a court. sarah blockers and brisbin, she explains what could be a handful joke of it. will the fight of another joke which still hangs in the balance. and this is joe days, 3 days after that court decision was made where the federal court decided to

reinstate his visa now the immigration minister, alex holt. he holds the power to remove jock of each from australia to deport him and cancel that visa for a 2nd. time you would expect the minister to make that decision and announce his decision before the line up is announced by tennis australia and that's expected this afternoon in melbourne even this evening. a joke of each had his visa, reinstated the judge on monday noted that the decision to cancel it was unreasonable. he said that noted a 3 year ban from re entering the country. that was a high price to pay for someone who was an unvaccinated. and the judge said that the rules of procedure in this case for another job on arrival in melbourne last week. they were not followed so junk of it since then has released a statement. and that's the new evidence that is being considered by the immigration minister a. he clarified what he described as misinformation. he said, he acknowledged that a member of his support team had picked the wrong box on the australian travel declaration on arrival at tele, marine, a port last week that i stated he had not traveled in the last 14 days. when in

fact he had, he travelled between spain and serbia, he also clarified a timeline of his private tests and he did acknowledge he did attend. that said children's awards event when he was positive, but he said he didn't feel a bad. he was asymptomatic and he felt good and he didn't have the test results at that stage. so yesterday and opened the draw a set to be unveiled. no that jock of ich anemia soccer by the defending champions . but he's fight still does hang in the balance and that's just for days. i headed this tournament. the british prime minister as facing growing coals for his resignation after apologizing to the nation for tending a party at his official london residence during the height of the lockdown. in 2020, at the time the government was enforcing strict measures confining millions of people to their homes under simmons. as more forest, johnson has never been under such pressure from his learned party, the opposition of the people who elected him. he set out to try to defend himself.

the key question, did he attend a party for around 40 guests in his back garden that appears to have breached cove restrictions? first, he tried to address the british people. i want to apologize. i know the rage. they feel with me i with the government i lead. when they think that in dawning street itself, the rules are not being properly followed by the people who make the rules. and when i went into that garden, just after 6 on the 28th of may, 2020, to fight groups of stock who going back into my office 25 minutes later to continue working. i believed implicitly that this was a work event. with hindsight, i should have sent everyone back inside after months of deceit and deception. the pathetic spectacle of a man whose run out of road his defense,

his defense, that he didn't realize he was at a party. ha, it is so ridiculous that is actually offensive to the pretty ha with the whole country was locked down. he was posting boozy party in town express. se now going to take a decent thing and resign. johnson didn't say yes or no, i want to, i want to repeat that. i thought it was a work event and apologizing again and telling opposition leader care stammer. he should wait for the results of an inquiry into revelations of several parties in downing street and whitehall. i regret very much that we did not do things differently or that evening stammer repeatedly rounded on johnson. the part is over prime minister. the only question is, when the british public kick him out, will is party kick him out,

or will do the decent thing and resign yet in johnson's constituency, in north west london, many who watched wouldn't accept his apology. i'm angry and i just think he's a man and doesn't take responsibility for what he's done. typical boy thing it's um, it's to be expected. the army is bound to come back with with something about whether or not it's true or noise. it's probably not true. this crisis is being called part again by the media. johnson is trying to write it out. much rest though with the outcome of the inquiry into downing street and white all parties, and what the police do about the latest revelation. for with more rest though, on whether the conservative party decides johnson is now a liability and has to go and re simmons al jazeera. i states meeting that in russia and nato of ukraine has ended without a breakthrough. both sides said there were significant differences during what they

described as frank and open discussions. dosage bar reports from oscar, and meeting nearly 3 years in the making. as high ranking members of the russian foreign and defense ministry, join nato officials and brussels. the meeting lasted longer than expected, but nato secretary general remain steadfast, that he would not accept rushes, the man that ukraine will never become a member of the alliance. this crosses is a, it's, it's is the making of russia on therefore, this important debate. the escalade ukraine has the right to self defense. all dogs and shrine, and u. m. a family talker angle for so many dollars when they, than they dollars, unless it'll help them to uphold of actor right to, to self defense. despite the united states assurances that it wouldn't talk about ukraine security without ukraine being present. it says this meeting was

a chance for the 2 sides to begin repairing their relationship. a relationship that's been going backwards since russia annex crimea in 2014 and nato's expulsion of 8 russians after accusing them of spying. nobody to quit zulu bush with a wooded nate to opt for the policy of the term russia. we will respond with measures of counter deterrence. or if it uses the policy of intimidation, we will respond with counter intimidation. if it looks for vulnerabilities in the russian defense system, we will look for nate, those vulnerabilities. it's not our choice, but we don't have other options. if we don't overturn this current very dangerous course of events and you would despite the lack of an official agreement, the talks are being seen as a success, if only because they didn't ends in acrimony, despite russia continued to insist that it has no intention of invade crane there seems little sign of an immediate end to the crisis door. so jabari al jazeera

strong willed with challenging traditional female stereotype in a male dominated society to make a difference. and michael, with the water is highly contaminated living in the class with it all out here. ah ah ah, welcome back at her comment about top stories here. the saw inflation in the united states has hit levels not seen in 40 years with a price surge affecting almost everything bought by consumers and businesses. the

white house is blaming global supply chain disruption. due to the pandemic. the world health organization says more than 15000000 people contracting cobit 19 during the past week. it's the highest ever figure during the pandemic. double h o says the number of deaths is also rising. on the high stakes meeting between russia and nato of ukraine has ended without a breakthrough. head of nature says he will not allow moscow to veto ukraine's wishes to join. a property crisis in china is deepening with a growing number of developers in debt. real estate giant ever ground is struggling to pay back $300000000000.00 in loans and as katrina you report some dan, joe, in hey man, province. the company is now fighting the demolition of almost 40 apartment buildings some called it china is hawaii, the island province in the south, a tracks tens of millions of visitors every year. and property developers have

flocked here to accommodate them. real estate giant ever grad constructed this artificial island, complete with hotels and theme parks. but a debt crisis has caused many of its projects to come to a halt. these $39.00 unfinished apartment buildings would you to be completed soon? now the local government has called for them to be demolished, citing environmental concerns. the order has sparked confusion among local people. general gyla. these buildings have already been constructed. rogers and now they want to demolish, don't allow me personally, i think is a big waste of resources getting couple years either you thought is a one. if you tear down these buildings, it will just create more pollution. it also causing the owners of other apartments here to panic because they're afraid this will be next. the unfinished project was backed by a former mer, jung chee, who is now serving life in prison for bribery. there are almost $3000.00 apartments

worth more than $1000000000.00 there. it's just one of hundreds of stalled ever ground projects in china. but the demolition of those $39.00 buildings would deal another major blow to the already embattled developer. if a grant is $300000000000.00 in debt and defaulted on offshore bonds last month, regional governments have taken control of the developers projects in some areas and confiscated land and others. it's far from alone. in recent months, the chinese government has begun curbing over borrowing in the property sector. and a growing number of firms are now in distress. shemelle keiser modern land and won't jo are in f are among those struggling with loan re payments. analysts say badging is sending a message, it looks like they are more concerned about that and a sustainable growth. so i guess in the long term, this is more of

a change for the better on. and i guess it's safe to say on the kind of aggressive expansion period has basically ended for china. the crisis in the property sector is weighing on china's economic growth. and experts expect to slow down to continue for months, possibly years. every grant is doing all it can to keep its business and projects here afloat. it's paid more than $30000000.00 in fines to the local government and is appealing against the demolition of these $39.00 buildings. cassini, u r t 0 dan joe china. a lawsuit against britain's prince andrews moving forward in the us after judge rejected efforts to dismiss a sex abuse claim. virginia, as your phrase says, she was 17 years old when she was traffic to have sex with the u. k. royal and other men, prince andrews loyal tried to have the case thrown out, citing a 2009 deal she signed with convicted sex offender,

jeffrey epstein. the prince has consistently denied the flames. double as on those in new york where the civil law suit is under way. what appears that this is going to a trial, and the trial will be towards the end of this year, assuming, and this is a big assumption here. the prince, andrew and his lawyers decide not to settle out of court. that could very be a very real possibility at this point. but assuming that does not happen, it's very much now going down a legal process to a trial at the end of this year here in federal court in new york. so a couple of questions. you ask yourself, does prince andrew have diplomatic immunity? the answer to that by most legal analysts is no, only the queen, queen and her immediate household have diplomatic immunity. he does not fall under that category, but will he be present at the trial in new york? the answer to that is also know that highly unlikely, and that's because this is

a civil case right now and not a criminal case. and in civil cases the, the courts can not ask for the u. k, to extradite someone to the us for a civil case such as this, if it was criminal, that's different, but this is civil. so it's highly unlikely, almost unfathomable, that he will actually be there at the court, assuming his trial goes forward. so then you ask yourself, what are his big risk? well, does he have to give testimony under oath for this trial? the answer to that is, yes, he most likely will be an occupation says it needs maybe 4000000000 dollars this year to help the victims of the civil war in yemen. the un estimate, 13000000 people are at risk of salvation. it's calling on iranian back to the fighters and the saudi back government to negotiate, and in to 70 years of conflict. 2022 is starting on challenging.

the military escalation i described in this counter last month has accelerated as the part is dumping down on military options 7 years down the road of war. the prevailing belief of all war insides seems to be that the thing sufficient harm on the other will force them into submission. however, there is no sustainable long term solution to be found on the death and feed. therefore, i will continue to stress that warring parties can should, and indeed must talk even if they are not ready to put down their arms. are diplomatic editor james bay who has more from the un in new york? well, it's very grim picture from yemen. remember, the country has been in turmoil for more than a decade, and war has been raging in the country for almost 8 years. well, with that backdrop, what has happened in the last month? things have got much worse. they say there's been a deterioration of the humanitarian situation,

an escalation by all sides of that military action. and we also heard from a senior humanitarian official from the united nations. again, briefing the security council saying that over 15000 people have been deployed, displaced in the last month, and the number of civilians that have been reported killed is 358 that's tied for the highest figure. at any point in the last 3 years, very grim news from yemen, often described by people as the forgotten war. but it's a war that continues to rage. a 3rd is under way for more bodies in northern nigeria, after gunman rated village as shooting people and burning house. 60 people are confirmed dead, but witnesses reported seeing up to 200 bodies, the rates come off the government and strikes targeted, the high doubts, the criminal gangs on to 0 as estimate interest reports now from some foreign estate. as dusk approaches these displaced women pound grains to prepare the

holmes and granaries were burnt. dan zone for a state governor says the time for negotiations with the criminal gangs is over. some of them are pushing, put a dialogue, but let us allow the cabinet to go on fust. do delaware foolish. don't come up with genuine requests leashes that pu now, why not do for eat the conflictions and for i began this dispute over land and water resources between farmers and herders. but successive governments ignored the danger sides. it's now spread to most part of the country with criminal gangs and even book or um, caching in thousands have been kidnapped for ransom, including school children, hundreds of whom are still being held by gunman. many villages, like these in nigeria, north are forced to make difficult choices, cooperating with criminal gangs,

results in long prison terms. but helping security forces means death at the hands of the bandits for many poor vulnerable families. their reality is there isn't any way else to run to in december last year than our geron government declared those responsible for the deadly attacks terrorists and says, there can be 2 more troops and equipment to end the bloodshed. oh, do i that it is a sunday there, but that's little comfort for survivors of the massacres in the villages in nigeria, north was priority. now we survival while trying to find closure. our losses that don't seem to stop edris al jazeera is on for our north west nigeria.
