and the city where the pandemic 1st began. will hon. they started in rome, cheese, the capital of shing, jan province, after a building called 5. and 10 people died. many se rescue efforts were delayed by locked down restrictions. responding to a question during a briefing on the protest, china's foreign ministry spokesman disagreed with some of the reports. you know, the, you're going to, the situation you described does not reflect the reality of what happened. china has been following to dynamic 0 co policy and has been making adjustments based on the realities on the ground. katrina, you has more now from bay jane. well, beijing is usually a buzzing metropolis at the capital of china, but the streets are really resemble a ghost town. people have been told to stay at home because we're still seeing hundreds of cases, an unprecedented number here in china, of new infections of covered spreading throughout the city. now i live just about

10 minutes from the young law river, which is the site of the protest in beijing where it took place on sunday night. and just a few hours ago, i went to take a look at what was there. and i saw a very heavy police presence. things are very tense in the city. what i saw were a number of police vans full of police officers waiting around that site where people were gathering yesterday. there were uniformed guards and police officers standing every 25 to 50 meters also. so it's very clear that they are expecting more crowds to night on monday to gather and, and people are afraid that we are possibly going to see some violence taken place. certainly yesterday, when the protest happened in beijing, the police dispersed the crowds fairly peacefully, but in other places, for example, in shanghai, we did see some violence and some unrest taking place there. now i've been living in china for about 10 years, and i never thought i would see the day when there was a protest actually taking place in the capitol. the last time we saw police sort of

permitting any sort of protest was in 1989 during tenement, at the crackdown that took place. and gentlemen, and of course, this is not an isolated protest taking place here in the capitol. we're seeing it in major cities around the country. is african leaders have been meeting in nairobi to discuss how to restore peace and democratic republic of congo, or the m 23 rebel group, widely believed to be backed by rwanda isn't part of the talks. defines as of taken large swirls of land in the east of the country, forcing hundreds of thousands to flee. we believe that at the end of this process, we will be able to see increased coordination and coherence of the night will be process with a b, d, d. i to seize yom groups that i yet to cease was facilities to all other commitments to seize on activities and to

grant unhindered humanitarian access and the full employment. i'm not partition of these. the african regional force, harrison resigned. just all one of the blue a minute. let us assume that emma don't let j show the girl by under these comes uncovered that on her resort would say kitty did add a button settings without full work on the radio is a safe response. and the robust mechanisms being established i'll just hear is malcolm web reports from the front lines where congress soldiers a fighting m 23 rebels, nickel book called the democratic republic of congo armies been fighting the n 23 armed group up and down the stretch of road for a week, a con,

the lease army captain took us to the front line is near the border with rwanda, which is widely understood to back beyond group. will they? rwanda denies it this, so just says we'll fight them back to wonder whatever support they have. this is one of 3 front lines where congos army his for 1023 in recent weeks. this time a year ago, and $23.00 only had a few 100 armed fighters. since then, the u. n's filmed fighters enter in congo from rwanda and rwandan. soldiers have been photographed among and 23 fighters. the so does he say fighting the enemy? that's better equipped than, than they say, and 20 three's fighters get more food, more water and that they have heavy artillery hidden on the hill top that makes it difficult for them to fight and advance mode. the captain told us their enemies on a hillside less than a kilometer away, and $23.00 is rejected. international calls for it to withdraw and disarm by

a deadline that passed on friday. corners army says we're, we're the ones military control of this area through its proxy and 23. it's rich with golden colton. mines. congress government says n 23 can't be part of the nairobi piece talk unless it withdraws and disarms, hold up. what is are we don't have time to waste because m $23.00 and $1.00 to only understand the voice of bullets. if they don't listen to the calls of the leaders, we'll have to force them back to the place where they came from. come as minute she has jet fighters and new attack helicopters, minute she sources say they wondering why the government rarely ordered them to bomb m. 23 are tillery, and help the infantry at font. nearly 300000 people were fled to fighting and living in sanitary camps. many of them also question why the government not

doing more grown up. soldiers are fighting with the rebels, but whenever they are about to win to thorough, he's told him to stop fighting for one or 2 days. this is exactly when the rebels always take advantage and advance. we were told to leave the area so that soldiers can continue to fight back at the front line. soldiers told us their enemy is used a few days, have come to bring reinforcements from rwanda and no sign of this conflict ending soon. malcolm went al, jazeera cuba, the democratic republic of congo. at least 4 people have been killed in an attack on a hotel in the somali capital, the arm group, i shall, bob has claimed responsibility. government storm. the villa rose hotel which is close to the presidential palace and regularly used by government officials. several people have been rescued. small as minister of state for environment and climate change, add them our her see was at the hotel at the time of the time. he says there was

a security failure of course, a failure. failure is not breach. be the weight of that new or new thing. but remember we out in the war region, a war that guns. i believe the terrorist going to was running for their lives in the remote villages in somalia, in government, and who severely and other parts of the country. so this is a manifest towing their last to kicks and using the last 6 of the books, a in the that toes. there is a pain. in the interim we have decided to finish this one is what is on for all the casualties casualties. and they want to increase the cost of c williams so that the met up the what i was going to let a i think this is the right time to finish this a. ready somebody community,

just all of them, but i set up a again, this is the group who leave it in the place that they were extra people fanning people. it didn't miss using that could making islam loop. but so basically this is, this is the time to finish them up. yes, i said there will be pain but in the incident but just not a pain. ready in do that rate for our children and grandchildren. you had to, to the month to finish this and we will finish it. this. all of these 14 people have been killed in cameron's capital, one day after a waterlogged embankment collapse. authorities have blamed heavy rain for the accident which took place while mourners were attending a funeral. dozens of people are still missing. search and rescue crews are digging through the debris ticket. did you say what i want to say to residents is that as you can see, the affected area is

a very dangerous place. so it would be wise for them to start thinking about how to lead before the government services began to clear as you come on by. total care has resumed air strikes against kurdish fighters in northern syria. on sunday gets bombed areas controlled by the y p g, a kurdish group link to the p. k. k. to kid considers the p k, k, a terrorist organization. the defense ministry says the ground offensive will be launched as soon as possible. anchor a blames the y p g for recent attacks in this tumble and gaussian tap accusations the group denies sort of course, also has more from kill us near the to the kia syria border. everybody was expecting a ground operation last night. there are so many turkish media outlets i positioned themselves in god's down tip and killers. but of course, these kinds of offensive offenses are also based on negotiations, but what everybody expects on the ground inside syria. and i'm all the people that

we have spoken to. so far this is imminent and an operation must be coming soon. according to the expectations took. here is preparing for an election that is scheduled for june. 2002023. i, of course, the military operation is not the main target main objective of as an election campaign, but definitely it will impact the consequences. it would have consequences as the turkish a people and not all it is ethnic turks or the others. but even ethnic curves, they are again, they are mostly against a, the e out build q to sound a workers bar to p k. k is a tax on the civilian. so after a stumbled bombing, there is a public opinion that has to on solidarity against these kinds of terror attacks. and definitely this would bring, some would serve for the turkish president and who is allied with the national this

party as well. and but as i said, this is not the main objective of the operation. the main objective of the operation is to complete the a health job that was left half in 2019 when trickier launched an operation against the kurdish fighter group y, p g. still had an al jazeera, the death research for survivors and in italian resort town after a weekend landslide. ah, anticipation is rising. and so with that are always hair low. they will look to east asia and a severe cold wave has moved its way across northern parts of china and mongolia dropping heavy snow. we are likely to see that continue but to work its way towards the north east that has been carried by this band. all the heavy rain that set to

work its way through to japan. we've had some quiet days ahead of that wet or whether it is likely to drop temperatures down in places like tokyo. now we'll see some dramatic drops in temperatures. further north, down in the south of china, it is continuing to be a rather wet picture with some of those showers moving across into shanghai. but temperatures have already come down to the likes of beijing. it remains bitterly cold for mongolia and we will see those conditions spread across the korean peninsula. have a look at the drop in temperature for so we're into sub 0 figures. certainly by the time we get into the mid week though, it remains rather dry with some sunshine by wednesday. and i will move across to south asia. temperatures are where we expect to see them this time of year for much of india and pakistan a lot colder. further north, across central parts of asia. if you showers kicking into that west coast, some of them heavy for corolla and some pretty fear thunderstorms for the south of sri lanka. but largely fine and dwight further east with a few showers for me and mar to with sponsored by cattle and

a ways to boxes from the street to chicago on different paths with the same ambition. fighting their way to a better life than themselves. and their families in the volatile world at chicago, south side is no easy task. witness when site on al jazeera. ah ah, welcome back here watching al jazeera time to recap,

our headlines now based african lead is amazing to discuss how to bring peace to east in democratic republic of congo. m 23 fighters though i'm not there. fav rejected calls to disarm and withdrawal from areas they've taken. tortilla has resumed air strikes against kurdish fighters in northern syria on sunday jets bombed areas control y, the y p g, a kurdish group linked to the p k. k. to a kia considers, the p k, k, a terrorist organization, people and several cities across china have protested for a 3rd day against the government, st. covey, 19 measures. it's a rare display of public defiance against one of president shooting things. policies. protests began in rome. she were a building called fire, and 10 people died. many blamed colbert restrictions for a delayed rescue effort. a vigil for the victims is being held in hong kong. that's why patrick fox now joins us from. so patrick,

how is the turn out looking at that vigil while the number of numbers are growing slowly there on an awful lot of people here. and i wouldn't say that there's any unrest going on right now, but certainly what's happening in china's really touched enough with a lot of people in hong kong. and of course, a lot of it is reminiscent of the protest movement that took place here in 2019. so a lot of people have gathered for this vigil. many people holding flat gods and holding flowers in solidarity with those who died in a room. she, there's also a small police presence, but it is largely com, right now. they've called in an area off and you can see behind me there is a press surrounding a lot of the people that are here holding up, plat, god, we're going to go and check to see what's going on. exactly that in a moment. but this was just movement, as i said, is

a gathering momentum. it is spreading far and wide, not just within china, but also around different parts of the world as well. and it's becoming more than just something about the clover tubs. of course people off latching on in many ways for this to be an opportunity to make complaints about other things as well about the leadership. and as we've heard, a lot of people are calling for the downfall of the communist party. they're all comparisons being made with its gentlemen protests of 1989. it's hard to say at this point whether or not it really is something as big as that right now. and certainly what happens in the coming days and coming out is going to be critical and how the authorities deal with it is going to be key. i think our authorities, as we look at these demonstrations spreading around the country, you've got to, under our authorities losing control of the demonstrations and protests is in free full now. well

certainly it seems as though it is getting more and more difficult for authorities to contain a lot of people, of course, saw defying covert orders and advisory 7 people to stay in doors. and remember the cases, i've also had another record the day more than 40000 cases of infection registered in china. of course, this may very well make those numbers spread even further. so it's hard to say where all of this goes now. one of the things to note is that security is being stepped up in shanghai, there are bro blossom barriers being put up on william che bro mochi road, which where the main protests was taking place and shanghai. another thing that security officers are doing that selling people according to reports, we're hearing to scrub photos and videos of the area from their phones.

china does not want the rest of the world to be seen what's going on through social media and so on. and so forth, they will be worried that this could inspire a further unrest. and it's also an indication, possibly that authorities might act. and that may be a swift cost crack down to get to stop this from spreading any further say. all right, thanks so much patrick, fall. in all the news now japanese documentary filmmaker recently released from prison and me and ma has spoken out about his ordeal. total cobalt us 3 and a half months of a 10 year sentence for sedition. he was freed as part of abroad a prison, amnesty cobalt, told a news conference without the support of the public can the media he might still be behind bars. mother has many with us, you know, quite worn out. there are like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who worked hard for my release. all those who supported a petition more than
