6:08 pm
wave of emotions like you're sad, you're reading all the time due to you. so it's, it's totally different reality right now. and it's so hard to get to the point when you feel that happiness as you used to feel before. so it will take a while. of course, many here have been traveling through weeks the arrived tired, hungry and confused. most don't speak spanish or english and are relying entirely on help from volunteers. first of all, they all nervous because lots of of them didn't ever been in mexico. they know that decline is dangerous place, so that when they come into in the airport, the webinar receive, which i'm to call them and build and relax where we'll have we will help you. how again we will help you. there are also dozens of families here with young children,
6:09 pm
with any of that they spend much of their time listening carefully increase their numbers are called, though many seem eager to cross the border into the united states. others tell us what he want is to go home. i'm sail very tired. of course. i hope that soon i will come to your crane. i'm not going to stay in the usa for long . i hope that's in tom, or i can come back to my country to my family, to my mazda rogers, and all of the class here more than 7 sounds and ukrainian have arrived in p one. and since the start of the war in february, since mexico has not imposed any restrictions on ukrainian travelers, more arriving every day. conditions may seem crowded at this refugee camp in the city of t want to write on the border with the united states, but new arrivals have actually declined in recent days. local authorities, however,
6:10 pm
tell us that the population here is likely to grow significantly in the coming weeks. the us border officials are processing about 50 ukrainian refugees every hour while ukrainians arriving in t one and only stay at the shelter for a few days. new arrivals are quick to take the place of those who leave. though there's concerned the sports complex being used to house refugees could soon overflow. state officials say a 2nd shelter could quickly be made available if needed. but manuel wrap a little al jazeera peak, wanna mexico. the warning ukraine is having unexpected consequences for energy supplies. germany has reversed its decision to phase out coal mining. after the e u band, russian in ports step vasa reports from brandenburg on the german search for tentative energy. mcknight or brown coal, has long been at the center of environmental protest called the dirtiest form of gold that has been providing power to the german economy and household for decades
6:11 pm
. under pressure from the green party, the new government announced it aims to close these open pit mines by 2030. but that was before russia invaded ukraine college by guns, gave a terrible war ukraine means we are realizing. but alex's used to play in germany wasn't and isn't very secure. and there are several possible risk factors applies to gas oil and hard cold too. and, but of course, some who are now thinking domestic energy source, which will always be available, as well as wind and sun, of course. and that's last night to make sure there's enough energy and future winters at regional government. and brandon book has asked permission to keep some late night power plant on stand by to have the necessary supply for the coming winter season. and that hopefully without any dependence on imports from russia, that problem has still not been solved. and inter, as,
6:12 pm
as i'm coming from the field of industrial safety, i would prefer to have a situation with belt and parachute, and so it would be worthwhile to keep them available. ukraine has accused germany of financing, russia war because of the dependency on russian gas, oil and coal. the u has decided to ban coal imports, which will cost russia around 4000000000 years a year. in comparison, a ban on russian gas and oil would cause the country, $80000000000.00 euros. this is one of the few po, a stations in germany, not depending on import from russia. domestically produce lick is one of the most reliable sources germany has, but also one of the most polluting. it was unthinkable just a few months ago that the new government in which greens play an important role would even consider using more coal. but the war and ukraine has changed everything and the climate could be another victim. more c, o, 2 emissions instead of last, an uncomfortable reality for environmental groups who have long campaigned for one
6:13 pm
and 2 coal use. germany for a long period of time, have bunfield russian redeem the fall of russia and has put russia in a position to find that war. unfortunately, we cannot get rid of that dependency. it's obviously a bit appeal. we have old quote, power plant that have to get back on the grid, but we have to accelerate the build up of renewables. this need some years that germany industry now has a 2 year targets that its future is based on a new lampshade. but building wind farms and solar panels takes time and germany is under pressure to act. now that pressure will only grow if terrible images continue to come out of ukraine. and you decide to go further. and then russian oil and gas steadfast and else's era in brandon both. so my head on the news are including more than a 150 dead, and others missing in the philippines that have the latest on the devastation left by a storm of magic. and england are looking for a new test. cricket captain,

israel has categorize what happened today as needing to stop the violence, rioters who are quote, desecrating the site and endangering the public. these really government is saying that it was back and will safeguard the right of people to worship freely and it will not tolerate any violence inside the compound. prime minister, enough, tele bennett, is presiding over a very weak and disparate coalition. it no longer has a majority in the connected, and it's largely believe that any additional escalation inviolate in the violence will only weekend his government. natasha. thank you very much, natasha. i am talking to some younger by the east jerusalem crowds gathering garza to protest against the violence that they all are some most compound to yonah al site is there with more i pressed the god, this tread in the center of the y

6:31 pm
with nice people. we're going to start making china pay a great price for what they're doing all over the world. with taiwan producing 90 percent of the world's high end semiconductor products. it is a country of global significance of global consequence of global impact. and therefore, it should be understood that the security of taiwan has a global impact for those who would wish it ill. china's accusing the u. s. o in slamming tension and says it's going down a dangerous path by sending politicians to tie one made. how shall we're going in the united states and taiwan are colluding with each other. and some people deliberately compare taiwan in ukraine to very different issues in an attempt to confuse the public and take advantage of the chaos. and joseph, this behavior of playing with fire is aimed at changing the current status quo of
6:32 pm
the cross straight relations. changing shanghai is decision to convert some apartments into quarantine centers as infuriated tenants who have been evicted. as the logs on a chinese larger said he goes on president, she's in peng assorted every one to stick to the 0 covered 19 policy. at an a you reports from beijing, police in protective gear, struggle to control an angry crowd. these shanghai residents, a protesting against being pulled from their homes. their apartment blocks are being turned into temporary quarantine centers. some are kneeling on the ground, begging the police not to take them away. this city of more than 25000000 people has been brought to its knees by the worst corps in a virus outbreak. china's face since the beginning of the pandemic, 300000 infections have been recorded since march looked down, which was supposed to last a few days,
6:33 pm
is now stretching into its 3rd week with no end in sight. the once bustling commercial center is now quiet and empty, with most of the city's population, forced to stay home. supply chains are frozen. many say they're going hungry or lack necessities. great, jen has appealed to help online to get access to urgent, hot medications for her father grace it. we know it's a difficult period and the pandemic were willing to cooperate with the government and with each level of city management to fight the pandemic. but we also hope that our lives can be respected restrictions in some neighborhoods east on tuesday, but with cases continuing to climb. people allowed to go outdoors are being coursed back inside. this community worker bloss aloud speak of repeating the words, return, horn. those who test positive are sent to make shift hospitals, conditions,
6:34 pm
and slides. some appeal bleak and crowded. fab wheaton authority say the released thousands of recovered patients this week, but thousands more remaining quarantine, dating has mobilized other provinces to help get more fresh food and other necessities to shanghai. the situation in shanghai is seen as a disastrous failure of china stick to 0 kinds of 19 policy, but authorities are sticking to it despite growing calls to change. this approach president suit in paying has caught on the country to strengthen restrictions in order to win the battle against the virus. katrina, you out is era aging. well the no sign of restrictions easing. soon concern is growing that the economic damage to world trade, shanghai accounts for around 4 percent of china's g d p. but the city has a much higher share of china's trade with the rest of the world around 10 and a half percent. china's bigger cities also the world's busiest port, a remains operational despite the lockdown,
6:35 pm
but industry data showed than the number of vessels waiting to load a discharge. last month's sword to a record high. the greater shanghai area which includes can shine and other eastern cities is a major manufacturing hover industries and you from cars to semiconductors, vehicle manufacturers of one they might have to put the brakes and production if restrictions continue. our christopher bowlings and economists to an founder of new kite data labs. that's a think tank focusing on analyzing economic and technological data from china is joining us now from washington d. c. thank you very much indeed for being with us and what kind of impact do you think this lockdown is going to have on shanghai, but also particularly on china's economy. this is going to have a major impact on china. even though the focus is on the shanghai, we absolutely see varying levels of movement restrictions pretty much throughout the entire country. at this point, i believe there's only about 10 to 20 percent of the country that does not have
6:36 pm
some level of movement restrictions imposed on them. so this is basically bringing the entire chinese economy to, to a very grinding, almost crawl. we mentioned that it's also is obviously a major port city as well that have been significant reductions and then i'm not much of trade that's going through those ports. what's the knock on effects from this in terms of the world economy? this is going to have a significant impact on the world economy. it be very arguable that a lot of the depletion we're seeing now was due to some of the slow downs in global trade that we saw which 7 piles up, boats outside of los angeles, outside of rotterdam, places like that. so this is going to be, even if it's that back to normal, very quickly, it's going to be 3 to 6 months to wind. basically the backup that has been created
6:37 pm
and really get good swallowing back to the normal level. and so this really has a very ripple effect, as we've seen with primarily inflation, which is probably more, at least in large part driven by supply chain disruption. and chinese economy has been central to the presidency of season ping and the world bank. i'm just reading and tuesday at slash china's 2020 to grow forecast. it's not going to grow. it says that 5 percent this year that's sharply down from 8 point one percent. that was projected last year they i what point do you think is, what is a tipping point? do you think that that changing, paying and the leadership in china is going to reach where they realize that they're going to have to adjust this 0 covert policy or do you think they absolutely determined to stick to this? i think all evidence indicates that they are absolutely determined to stick to this plan of action. you know, if we were to see potential peaks in that they might be changing. the 1st place
6:38 pm
that i would look is that they would be allowing different vaccines in cuz we know that the seat of a relatively low african sea and we see no movement there either. so not only are the prohibition movement and locked downs continuing quite strongly. so are the unwavering stance on vaccine. this isn't a big business alone, is it? we're talking about one would imagine hundreds of thousands, possibly much more of small businesses, which are intrinsic to any economy around the world. what do you think the long term impact of all of this is going to be on those small to medium businesses? i think, you know, starting in shanghai, i think, you know, this is what effectively amounts to an election year in china. and so typically what happens in election years in china is that they throw a lot of fiscal and monetary stimulus at it. and so this is very much out of the script in the sense that it's doing the exact opposite. it is rather surprising
6:39 pm
that they are willing to say we're going to shut down the economy for at this point, roughly, roughly a month. so when that ripples out into traitors that are trading small, good throughout the world, this is absolutely going to have a major impact. really interesting to get to talk to him this christopher balding thank you very much indeed for being with us. and i'll just see there's a thank you very much melanie. most caron of i, as well as restrictions in south korea, are ending just a month ago. more than 600000 new infections were being reported every day. phones . larry reports from capital sol, cherry blossom season has arrived, and so have the crowds gone. other barriers to prevent groups from gathering. there are no park employees reminding people to maintain physical distancing. south korea is still reporting high number of new cases with a daily average of more than a 160000 in the last week. but the government has announced it will lift all
6:40 pm
physical distancing rules from next monday. what am i doing wrong over 19 will not be completely over, but we are now chosing that it is the time to carefully tries to restore our daily life. again, people will still be required to wear masks, indoors, and outdoors. although the government has said it will review this in the weeks ahead. to date on id, i think it's still appropriate to wear mask indoors, but i think it's ok without one outdoors. people are keeping a distance. south korea was one of the 1st countries to experience a cove at 19 outbreak, but it was able to flatten the curve quickly with a combination of testing, tracing and treating by because of that, it never had to impose any locked downs. public health officials were also quick to revise their strategy when the highly transmissible omicron variant to cold is immune from teaser lepeu. then we transition to a system for a large scale outbreak. placing more important on a universal approach under the ordinary system,
6:41 pm
