to short sales show how a lover learning finds away, ah ha select on al jazeera ah, bold and untold stories from asia and the pacific on al jazeera, ah, a curtain to pieces to be on the way and begin a fast. so the soldiers detain the president. ah, cleanser robin, your job is there a life my headquarters here in doha? also coming up the you warns of never before sanctions, if russia invades ukraine, while it's foreign ministers, me to de escalate tensions. also, china says $39.00 fighters,

close to tie ones as space in the biggest such operations, october plus when level of as the cabinet meets the 1st time in 3 months. but there's anchor about the deteriorating economic situation. ah, welcome to the program. the united arab emirates says it's intercepted and destroyed to ballistic missiles. the ministry of defense says they were launched by who the rebels in yemen. it added that no one was injured, and the day bri from the destroyed missiles fell near abu dhabi. last week, 3 people were killed in a healthy drone attack on the u. a. e. capitol. now who the spokesman is wanting a further attacks on the way i'll go, i'll tell him, was a lie in response to the belligerent escalation by saudi arabia and the u. e. and there are crimes against our beloved p. the missiles and drone units of our armed

forces carried out to successful large military operations. shopping armed forces stress, its full preparedness, to widen the scope of its operation in the coming period of time and to meet escalations with further escalations, our armed forces renew, its warning to the foreign companies. investors within the u. e to leave as the u. e. is declared an unsafe country and the target of our future operations, so long as its belligerents and siege against him and is not halted. tony me now on the phone from maria isabel of the saga. he's the chairman of the gulf research center. good to have you with us. it's a saga on the program. how worried should the united arab emirates be these drones, which now are continuing to target the country for the 2nd week in a row? thank you for having me with you on the program. i think you guys had data, but it is really good for the with the criminal act been done by the to

a target civilian and send this ballistic massage. i think it was expected since couple of months because you did indicate that you ease a target for them and you will be prepared for that. i'm sure the situation will be, have shown sort of data amongst the other gulf countries between all the different gcc state. they all stand by and support the u. e to defend itself and also to create a joint position. because in our opinion, my personal opinion, i don't think they would have done would have done to send this rocket without consulting an approval of iran in reality today. the big question is, how the goals, cuz you're going to do the iran, is it really serious about the creation and push me out with the gulf countries constant talk to that diplomacy?

to one side. practicality means that the moment who these all sending missiles old drones, in this particular case, in the direction of the united arab emirates. yes, they have been able to counter that. but it is a concern that it will be a concern to the international community outside of the gulf region, knowing that the us, which is seen as a potentially safe location, seen as a tourist destination, is now under attack or certainly being threatened. i don't think one or 2 attacks should be a good concern than to decide what is that people may have and particularly the gcc state members living can you eat? but i'm sure you have demonstrated the capability of responding to such an incident . i think we need to make sure to show the international responsibility and international act that should take place immediately because this is not the only to to the u. s. e. it's is a threat to the region of security and stability. when you threaten the gulf,

anyone you threaten the maritime issues and the major supplier, i think should be an international what is or not. so this is why we need to have a good international act together. not only showing a motor, solidarity, and motor collaboration with you eat and i'm sure you eat the rest of the going to move toward that investment. and then of course, there will always look for the oven. they would always look for the same destination. but i think we all remember that we have gone through some sort of disturbing in the gulf and the past, and soon after we overcome that, we should see what happens any in the coming out. so the moment ability. second, thanks for joining us, maria. thank you. not to begin a fence or other top story one attempted to is underway report from the capital. we're going to do say that the president has been detained. the military base and

soldiers have taken control of the main tv station not followed the day of rest, and overnight gunfire. there the president's residence henry wilkins choice now on the phone from the capital was due to henry. we've been touching base with you throughout the morning. just tell us where you are again, what you've been able to see over the past few hours. yes, we're outside the. the national cost are all to be at the moment. soldiers says me to me, it's from from yesterday, have taken over the entire building, located the entrance with the vehicle and set up an a gun outside the building as well with a call to circling throughout the morning. they don't like to report in at the moment, but we are expecting. but the need to me it's all going to make an announcement on the national board call. 3rd, some point out from outside the broadcast station

agreed to protest is because meeting 31 of the main avenue to the city, they were clearly showing all the sign in with the military need to me as a business from reporters as well. so that seems to be a kind of sense and among some of the, the contingent of protest as well. so general sense of the atmosphere on the streets of the capital considering that the great deal of tension overnight. yeah, i was, i mean, yesterday, the weeks that come from various military bases throughout the day and then last night in the area, if the presidential politics have called flying ahead until i am in the morning special for 2, we will need to marry. it'll say setup checkpoints throughout the area around the, the presidential palace compared to yesterday though, we're not hearing as much gunfire to me it's,

we're walking around yesterday with the faces covered today. they're walking around quite confidently with, with their faces showing, say, very sent the kids not just on the way, but might be fine. feel quite to get henry wilkins the 4th. i want you to do, thanks very much for the update. european foreign ministers say they are ready to impose never before seen sanctions if russia attacks ukraine, that meeting in brussels for the latest round of crisis talks. western nations are concerned by the build up of russian forces. while moscow is worried about nato expansion. we continue building up our position towards russia, them to undermine the security, their structure, new to up and to rebuild his fears of influence, which are completely update. we have to have a video conference with secretary of lincoln of the us in the to continue. i wish

drawn coordination during the whole process. the to be in union has been very much in touch coordinating with us being form before and after meeting with dr. butler joyce, you know, from the french capital natasha. what can we expect really, from the meeting, considering nato has made significant statements about military deployments of the past few hours. yes, the secretary general of nato yen stoughton burke has said that to her, the alliance is actually going to be reinforcing its eastern partner. so what that means is that it's a reinforcing sending additional troops or ships and fighter jets to it's east. so the eastern parts of its alliance countries like poland, is worth noting. of course, ukraine is not a member of nato. so that doesn't mean that any of that military hardwell troops

would be going to ukraine, but would be going to a bordering countries. now this is, of course, part of what nato is doing as face grow over a possible, a russian attack on ukraine. now, aside from a stoughton boats comments we have to day, also in brussels, a european foreign ministers meeting to discuss the crisis in ukraine. we understand at the end of that meeting, that they a will reaffirm, repeat, repeat their assertion that any attack by moscow on ukraine will be met with a very large and severe package of damaging sanctions. that's the message of we are expecting at the end of this meeting and meeting the will also be joined by a u. s. secretary of state anti blink. and he will be part of that. and meeting by video conference a bit later, he'll be updating our, his european allies about the conversations he had with his russian counterpart

sake, a lever off on friday in geneva. another meeting that ended without a breakthrough bought a promise by both russia and the us to continue talks. oh, what truth is that in the fact that it sometimes suggested in this particular instance said with the circumstance that some european countries that you'd always sort of sing off the same him a page and that they perhaps need to resolve their differences if they're going to speak with one unified voice, especially when it comes to ukraine, and it's defense oliver sonya suggestion made by the u. s. president joe biden last week in a speech. he seemed to suggest that there were deep divisions in amongst european allies. now, since then, how much has been done to try and make sure that the message coming out of the you is one of unity. and i think that's the message that we're going to hear from european foreign ministers today that they are unify. they are in the same page when it comes to any possible, a rush, an invasion of ukraine, but it is clear,

we do know that there have been divisions or the what sort of sanctions, perhaps i should be imposed on russia or how, how severe those sanctions would be so there are differences and, but they will have to be ironed out because anything in the eu has to happen with unanimity. so they can't be no sanctions without it. but a european suddenly won't want to repeat what was seen as the mistakes or 2014 when russia invaded crimea. and the european union was very slow to act because of those divisions and took many months to impose sanctions with us. both are in paris. thank you. so had here on al jazeera oh is over. deepening political crisis, endures the sanctions of the governing party sway in rival presidents of congress. also, we look at the supply chain crisis in the u. s. and our decades of deregulation in the trucking industry may have led to the problem

but it follows just one day after a huge show of military force by the u. s. and japan in the philippines. see now this exercise, this joint military exercise included to us aircraft carriers. and the u. s. navy said that this exercise was designed to preserve a free and open indoor pacific. now china considers taiwan rogue chinese province that will inevitably be reunited with the mainland, and beijing has not ruled out using force in order to achieve this. in recent months, it's increased the number of military exercises taking place close to taiwan and the highest number of incursions and record it took place in october, which included $56.00 chinese war planes which flew close to taiwan on the same day . now, begging does the denies that these exercises are designed to intimidate the ty when he's government. but analysts say that that's exactly what they're meant to do

levels. prime ministers meeting his competence for the 1st time in 3 months. the government has been divided since october about the investigation in the 2020 bay route port explosion. the standoff has happened and the countries economic crisis, wesson's, so called a hustle from beirut. economic hardships are worth sitting, 80 percent of the population is now poor. so there is an urgent need for the authorities to take measures to alleviate the suffering of the lebanese people. but what they have been doing over recent years really is adopting ad hoc measures which are proving really to be on sustainable. at 1st, they use the foreign currency reserves in the central bank to subsidize basic goods . then they ran out of money and now they're using whatever is left in the central bank card currency. injecting millions of dollars in the market every single day to ensure that the local currency doesn't the value even further. it has lost 90 percent of its value in the past 2 years. so yes, people are struggling now. the state budget is on the table of the cabinets,

but that's the budget has to be part of a wider economic recovery plan, in order for lebanon to reach and deal with the international monetary fund for a bailout package. this countries in dire need of dollars, but the safe budget falls short of fulfilling the conditions of the 1st of all, there is no unified exchange rates. and more importantly, there is no reforms. the i m f, for example, has been saying the electricity sector. it's inefficient, it's corrupt, it needs to be reformed, and independent regulatory authority needs to be created. instead in the budget, what the authorities decided to do is to put more money into a state institution, which is costing the state billions of dollars the year. so the authorities are falling short on taking the measures needed to stop the economic collapse all the while people's money trapped them bank. they're taking to the streets. they're angry because the authorities are planning. at least it's on the table. it's an

option to convert dollar deposit into the local currency, which has the value of the afghan talent says it's taken a step towards international recognition. after the 1st day of talks and norway, sunday began direct meetings between the taliban and civil society groups. now west and officials, a hearing from africa rights activists about the situation on the ground. the meeting between the taliban and the us as well as the e. u. is set to happen on monday, diplomats are asking them to uphold basic freedoms and return the humanitarian aid . a political crisis bring in honduras after rival politicians elected to competing president of congress. it's part of a dispute between party members of president, elect, herrera castro, just days before her inauguration alexia brown. ripples ah, supporters of the liberty and re foundation party, celebrating in honduran capital douglas,

new congress to louis redondo. he's a member of the honduras, salvation party, who helped castro claim victory in november's election casters called on her supporters to rally against the split throwing the dissidence out of her party. and brandon to leaks a traitor. he knows that if we is honduran paypal continue to accept these practices, then what would be happening in the legislature would be to hand to control of a state power back to the dictatorship. that is to cause chaos. and congress on friday leeks was chosen by the wiggles. he's being backed by members of the national party, which is laid on juris for the past while he is the punch up. so the us call for all sides to remain calm and start talk endless against the division will make can stroke presidency far more challenging g

it most candidates not formally a now to run, but draggy has strongly hinted. he wants to move on to the presidency. i thought don't do the local grimaldo, the grey look a aristotle gamma we have accomplished what we were called on to do. i'm a man grandfather if you like, the service of institution soon. if belle scone and the leaders have at least 2 main right wing parties keep the rug in the prime minister's office, they might be able to stave off a general election for another year while they build support for conservative government. at least president mainly perform ceremonial duties, but can be called on to resolve political crises, the election and normally behind the scenes of fair in which legislators and regional representatives cast secret ballots has now captured the nation's attention. i am in favor of electing a woman and leaving druggie where he has been doing a good job. my god, we all wish our current president would just stay in office for another term italian see 80 year old sir john? martha rella as a steady and unifying force. he says he has no interest in

a 2nd 7 year term. there is a chance he could be convinced to stay on. also in the running justice minister mark to cut tabio, if she went, she would become italy's 1st female president. the focus right now though is under aggie and martha rella. many italians worry that if mario draggy is elected to service the president. here's a kid out of town that this ability his government has secured of the past year, will fall apart as political parties here fight over who becomes the next prime minister, or least political historian, not intercoastal any, says legislators would already have a plan in place if they choose to like bragging or drug would be elected only if there's an agreement on the future of the government. but actually, his overseen the influx of billions of dollars and you recovery funds. the worry is if he's no longer prime minister, elite recovery could go off track. many people can be president of the public while as a brand new or a drug,

he is not easily replaceable. so ease much more useful as a premium. the election held in parliament will likely go on for several rounds until a candidate gains enough votes. whoever wins will have to try and help italy avoid political crises and tries to solidify a sustainable recovery from the pandemic. adarine algebra, rome, u. k caught a rule that wiki links on the julie, the songs can challenge a decision to extradite into the united states. the u. k. hi, quote rule that he can appeal to the supreme court. the us wants to try san john 18 charges including espionage is related to wiki leaks as publication of pacifying military documents about the walls of dollars on a rock. 13000000 citizens in northern china are free to leave their homes after a month long cove, long time was lifted, the city of charlotte was shut down as the government imposed a 0 tolerance policy before the start of the beijing winter olympics. next month. president joe biden is being blamed for empty shelves and us supermarkets,

they basically give the company that you're going to deliver to pick up from. they give them 2 hours free to sit there and do whatever they need to do. the driver doesn't get paid. many truck as a classified as independent contract is not employees. so companies don't pay for the upkeep of that trucks or invest in truck stops warehouses. a truck drives the allotted legal time and then stops wherever they are. you get after 56 o'clock, especially here on the east coast 5 o'clock a might be on the road somewhere, trying to find a spot. if there is a shortage that husband steve declared in wages for truckers between 1977 and 987 truck compensation fell, but i'm 35 percent the average truck. her salary is now around $50000.00 a year. but there is another stock, sophistic trucking has an overall job turnover rate of between 74 and 92 percent. that is between 7 and 9 out of 10 drivers leave their jobs. after a year,

we reached out to the american trucking association, but they declined to speak to us. but the us census, in fact, shows a record number of qualified truck drivers in the us. that's why others say the problem lies elsewhere. there is no shortage of truck drivers in the united states, and in fact we have a surplus of drivers. we have millions of people in the us who are trained to become a truck driver and then decided not to do the job. dr. michelle, he says the trucking industry has used the same tactics since deregulation in 1980, to insist on further deregulation so that it can have as many workers to choose from as possible. that way he can offer the least wages and benefits while maximizing its profits. simply lowering the driving age is, is not going to make things better, burns them out. most people won't last won't last 6 months. something we've heard throughout the supply chain crisis is that it's decades of deregulation that focused on corporate profits instead of building infrastructure like truck deputies, for example, and taken care of workers that got us. she advertised the al jazeera,
