in favor of bringing forward elections to april 2024. and it was a country in chaos, no food medicine or fuel. we'll take a look back at a year of economic and political crisis in sri lanka. ah, welcome to the program ukraine's president is heading to the u. s. the talks with joe biden, in his 1st trip abroad since russia invaded in february. the letter means the landscape waited to say that he hopes to strengthen the country's resilience and defense capabilities. ukrainian leader has also confirmed. he will address the us congress and hold several bilateral meetings. washington has been cubes in biggest supporter, providing about $20000000000.00 in assistance so far. the white house has released to stamen, saying president biden has invited zalinski to visit washington dc to underscore

the united states enduring commitment to ukraine. it also says that biden will announce a significant new package of security assistance to help your crane defend itself against russian aggression. melinda herring is a ukraine's specialist and deputy director of the atlanta counsels ye ranges into. she says the landscape security will be a priority. it's a big deal because there are enormous security concerns. we know that the russians wanted to whack volota bear zalinski back in february. so this i, this visit had to be kept a secret. it was a secret until the 11th hour until it was no longer a secret. i think it's also significant that he's coming to washington 1st to say thank you to president biden, and that he's also going to congress. so he's, i expect him to spend most of his time and energy on capitol hill because he knows that capital l hill has the most sympathy and can do the most for him. i think he's less concerned about congress than we were. you know, 33 months ago,

it looks like congress is going to continue the same policies toward ukraine on, on a weapons. in particular, republicans are solid, where republicans are not solid. and we're, i'm worried is budget support. and this is the category of money is billions of dollars. the taxpayers are giving to make sure that the ukrainian states stays afloat. and that is controversial among republicans 83 things to get ukraine through the winter. you need air defense systems, and there aren't enough air defense systems or to protect a ukraine because it's such a big country. it needs airplanes. so i hope zalinski. i expect him to bring that up with president, widen and say, come on, would eat, lead, eat, or airplanes in order to fight this. and also please help us with the emergency assistance to keep our electrical grid alive. we don't know how many more strikes at the system can take before it goes down. and charles traffic has more from keith . comes at a critical time in the wake of these weeks of miss arlene can because he drone strikes against ukrainians. vital energy infrastructure. more than

a 1000 we understand in these recent weeks and yeah, it underscores the kind of reliance that zelinski has on weston weapons on western support in the us. in particular, we understand that this new, this new arms package is going to be announced in washington. could be another 2 worth another $2000000000.00. that's already on top of a commitment of what $18500000000.00 from the u. s. a lot of focus he's going to be on whether we're going to hear an announcement finally about these patriot missile systems that the ukrainians have been asking for for so long. this is been a hugely controversial subject, previously the by and ministration and has said no, it wouldn't be sending this kind of weaponry because it was so advanced. and there were fears. it's understood that this could be seen as an escalation by russia. in

other world news to taliban has banned all female students from attending universities in afghanistan. the latest order cracking down on women's rights takes effect immediately. girls have already been banned from middle and high school. many countries have said a change in policy on women's education is needed before formally recognizing the taliban governments rights activists say. the move shows the telephone's indifference to international criticism every single time the world puts a pressure on the telephone by saying, do this, or you haven't done this, or this is not done enough to come around. and david, talk to you and make it harder on the woman. so the woman of have dentist actually have, have become, as i said, you know, they don't for them, they don't, they don't really exist. they're not human beings. they are, i don't know what they are. they don't consider them as, you know, they just,

they just are using them continuously for the way they think to them them. they said, you think because the erased the woman from the, from the society, from work from education. remember, think we'd like to borrow and congress is voted to bring forward elections to april 2024. and early poll is one of protest is demand. following the rest of former president pedro is feared. her room has been widespread demonstrations and violence since christie was in paged and imprisoned. 2 weeks ago, congress had been resisting colds to bring forward the elections plan for 2026. 5 president dana boulevard pe urged low mike is to reconsider. mariana sanchez has moved from lima. lo makers voted 90 in favor 30 against and one abstention to bring forward elections to april of 2024. that is 2 years ahead of when the presidential mandate should end. but it was a precedent. the not will not be who sent this bill to congress and told lawmakers

that they should listen to the people's amanda, 83 percent of peruvian wanted new elections. now, lawmakers here say they hope this is a positive message for peruvians. peruvians are deeply disappointed with approving the congress, and i actually would, it would proven political establishment, and they want to bring electron forward no matter what. okay. now we needed to do it orderly. okay. and that means doing it by april 2024. okay. so hopefully people will understand that this is the best we can do if we want to have the lectures with reforms or this is not the end. this vote needs to be ratified in a 2nd legislative period, which should be taking place next year between february and march. but many are hoping that for now, this vote to bring election for elections forward will help bring down the tensions around the country. 2022 has been

a hard year for sure. lincoln's as the economy hit rock bottom with food medicine and fuel shortages. tens of thousands of people took to the straits, flaming the government for corruption and failing to avert a crisis. now fernandez takes a look back. oh, christa. yeah, i for many like wasn't that, would the lee it will continue. the student leader has been detained under tara lois since august, months of shortages of food, medicine, powdered milk, fuel, and guess combined with up to 13 alone power outages or people to the streets demanding present go, toby, roger boxer, his brother, the prime minister, and his enter administration stepped down, awfully balop ot to, ella da now are we didn't expect this when we voted for them for the latest to destroy the country to us and our children. tensions escalated when government,

loyalist attacked peaceful protest as who had been camped outside the president's office for months. in retaliation, people torched government vehicles and ministers homes. a member of parliament was beaten to death in the violence that followed. prime minister, mind the raj, epoxy was forced to resign. the president appointed running victor, missing her as the new premier. that decision did not go down well with protesters who wowed to continue their campaign. these are the scenes, the government is desperate to avoid. the crowds over and the president's house, forcing present raj a boxer to flee 1st from his house. and finally, the country and the sheer number of people trying to get in to see the president's house is posing a real problem. the prepares, 3 any put their attention on the political leadership and why the political leadership could do and arris,

now i think recognition that there has to be political accountability. vicar missing a, stepped into the void, voted in by the pro roger pox. a parliamentary majority to complete the presidential term and he wasted no time in breaking up demonstrations. this clear out launched at midnight on the day he took his ortho warfare. but the economic issues haven't gone away. the crisis at the fuel pump and the wider sri lankan economy is far from over. despite the government's attempts to show it has things under control. without a do you see the have stabilize the economy and are confident of bailouts from the international community. this crisis is primarily a governance crisis that has manifested itself as a crisis in the economy. and what's happening now is we are trying to fix that economy without fixing the governance. and i think that is set up to fail. president vicar missing,

he says he will use the police and the military to prevent disruptions and challenges to the government authority. that doesn't face where something with the leggy and other protest leaders who say they will not back down in 2023. without fernandez, ojo 0, colombo, australia's foreign minister penny wong is in badging for talks to try to mend relations between the 2 countries. it's a 1st visit by an astronomy in top. diplomat in 4 years, ties between china and australia have been strained since beijing imposed tried barriers and refused an independent inquiry into the clover 19 pandemic. astronomy prime minister anthony albanese, said he wants to create better relations with china. the mark of success is dialogue and so we obviously have a lot of issues to work through and dialogue is a prerequisite for working through them. what i would say is what i would say to minister one account and say counsel. we believe it's in the instance of both

countries with the trade impediments to be removed. still ahead on al jazeera ambulance workers join nurses in the u. k, as they strike for more pay and better working conditions. and will tell you why containers, world comp victory parade, and didn't go entirely to land. ah, here's what i see for europe in africa on this one. say good to have your long 1st . let's start with the good news. the rain is starting to peter out across siberia, but gotta keep the risk for downpours in therefore, northern portugal, the northwest of spain still a southwest wind through the northwest of europe. so temperature is well above average, but we've got outbreaks of some rain and showers in the forecast and as that shower activity bumps into colder air is particularly for the southeast of germany. dangerous driving conditions there with black ice,

there are weather alerts in play for turkey. we're in the clear, we did have rounds of rain roll through cyprus, that's now running into the van. so showers aleppo, bay route and ramallah on wednesday. up to the top end of africa, we go, showers in the forecast also for coastal sections of libya. tripoli at 17 degrees that says slightly below average for this and the year, and still some sand storms rolling across mauritania, including in the capitol. new walk shop with the high 28 degrees, benz of rain, tar stretching. i will call it from soccer rate into the moves and b channel that is just pouring into southern madagascar. but across south africa, things are starting to dry off here as well. han point stay. that's your weather update. see later ah,

with blue ah ah. hello. are you watching al jazeera, i'm emily ang, when he's a reminder of our top stories. this alum ukraine's president is heading to the us, but talks with joe biden, in his 1st trip abroad, seems russia invaded in february. the letter means the landscape will address the u

. s. congress and hold several bilateral meetings. the television has banned over female students from attending universities in afghanistan. they have already been banned from middle school and high school. and bruce congress has voted to bring forward elections to april 2024th. and early poll is one of the protest, his demands following the impeachment and arrest of former president frederick is still 2 weeks ago to the u. s. now and after years of legal battles, democrats in the congress say they will release redacted copies of donald trump's tax returns. the house ways and means committee says it will release a report. in the coming days. it could shed light on the former president's finances and foreign dealings. republicans voted against the move, saying it says a dangerous precedent. last month,

the supreme court allowed trans tax returns to be released to congress. and in the coming hours, the committee investigating the january 2021 attack on the u. s. capital will release its report. hattie cal hang takes a look at what we've learned so far. ah, on the day this shocked the country and the world in unheard of breach of the u. s . capital building attacked by a violent mob of americans. how did this happen? and who is responsible? that is what the january 6th committee set out to find out all of us here today, focusing mostly on former president donald trump, who called his supporters to washington and sent them to the capitol, saying he would go with them. we fight like hell. and if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore. oh, he said the election was stolen. but in testimony before the committee, it was clear, he was told repeatedly, he lost the election, telling aids he didn't want people to know. he lost without objections,

but what that when he made the clearest it never before seen video, how bad the violence was, how close the country came to seen its elected leaders attacked or possibly killed . several senators told to run from the mob they were walking right into. then this moment officer eugene goodman, lured the mob up the stairs. if they had turned right and walked just a matter of meters, they'd likely would have found an unlocked door with senators inside. there, when we saw how close members of the house came to the mob, making their way to the last possible escape, the interactions breached the window and a protester were shot and killed trying to get to them. we now know how close the vice president mike pence came to coming face to face with those calling for him to be hung only 12 meters. and the committee said, trump knew that his supporters were armed, that day, frustrated that so many couldn't come to the rally because secret service was using metal detectors. i don't,

i think that they have weapons dirt out here to hurt me. take that thing, bags away and weapons the committee, her testimony, the trump, himself, wanted to go to the capital. lon, june for the wheel and had a secret service agent who refused, but there are several things. the committee has not answered yet. why did it take? so long to get approval for the national guard to be deployed, governor, i don't know, with who had been approved. congressional leaders that were able to be moved to a safe location by capital police, made frantic calls that went unanswered for hours. we up the wrong, the committee produced evidence, the trump's inner circle, knew something was going to happen. people like rudy giuliani, i remember looking at him saying rudy to explain what's, what's happening on the sex. i, he and he had responded something to the effect of. we're going to the capitol. it's going to be great presence going to be there. he's going to a powerful he's, he's going to get the members,

he's going to be with the senators. but what we still don't have hard evidence on. if this was a planned coordinated attack, the committee voted unanimously to refer to the justice department for criminal charges against the former president. but they've already been looking into this. there's a special prosecutor that's been appointed. a grand jury in washington has been hearing testimony that will likely determine if in fact the attack here on the capital was planned. and if so, who will pay the price for it? particle, hain, al da 0, washington, still in the us in the white house as it needs. and now the wait to prepare for the end of the board. a policy that's been in place since the beginning of the pandemic . it allows the government to use coven 19 protocols to block migrants entry at the border with mexico. the policy was due to expire on wednesday at on monday, the supreme court temporarily extended it after an appeal by republican lead states . how did your castro has moved from el paso, texas? the us has just experience the record breaking number of people encountering border

patrol as they try to cross into the us more than 2000000 for the 1st time in one year. and here in el paso, it's sort of an epic center there, about $10000.00 migrants being released to el paso weekly. and we're seeing some of those people here. these are the asylum seekers, their families from venezuela, from nicaragua, from ecuador as well. and they have turned themselves in at the border to us order agent. and they were released here temporarily as we wait for their a silent cases to process some have had to sleep out here in the cold overnight, even as temperature. 50 kilo freezing. she has the shelters in this town are all full. even the airport has been converted into a makeshift shelter, but they help themselves. lucky they tell me, because about half of all migrants who tried across the us quarter, don't even make it this far as they're held up in mexico because of that title. 40

to who, which is still in place and will be in an in limbo in a sense. because the republican lead states told the supreme court that they would be overwhelmed by a tidal wave of migrant if that policy were to go away. and now we had the latest news coming from the biden administration that they have asked for it. this water policy will remain in place until at least after christmas, giving it more time to search resources. humanitarian assistance as well as resources to secure the border because they all anticipate many more people trying to process. the northern coast of california has been heaped by a magnitude 6.4 earthquake injuring at least 12 people. the trim is damaged more than 60000 homes leaving most without water or power. residents say it was more violent than usual. the us geological survey said the quake was followed by about ac aftershocks. this is in the u. k. walked off the job for

a 2nd day this month, calling for better paying conditions. the government says it can't afford the 19 percent wage boost. they're demanding up to 100000 nurses. took part in the unprecedented strike as jonah, how reports from london, rural college of nursing, the nurses union used to be avowedly and t strike action. oh, not any more. its members now feel they have no choice. i think the pace is, is ridiculous, basically of eva time inflation. you can see that you'll pay that he decreasing. i would the cost of living car is just another out. and i'm about a question about doing extra shifts bunk, sissy pulling her making ends meet. but that ends on me, but you're more interested because already doing your normal. it wasn't long ago that nurses were applauded on doorsteps up and down the country for their work saving lives during the pandemic. now they're quitting in record numbers in

class. because prepping as they chant doesn't pay the rent, and nor does the 4 percent pay rise currently on the table. the nurse is demanding substantially more as much as 19 percent to make up. they say, for years of low pay, that's failed to keep up with inflation. the government says the money just isn't there to give the nurses what they want, as well as giving the national health service what it needs to survive. you can't have one without the other than those who say and unless the government engages in people in the coming days, they want to be more of this in the new i think the produce come to a point where it's an existential shortages on the, on the collect from around me and i trust is an extension for future as well now, permitted to fort not just the basic plan, our pocket butler sustainable in nature. we're oh, to live a walk in

a capital city like london opinion polls suggest the public girl, the nurses side. oh, meeting their support despite the inevitable disruption being cause to know nurtured patient care and that's uncomfortable for the government. determined not to give it to striking workers when increasingly being blamed for bringing the national health service to the verge of collapse. joe, to hold al jazeera, london, and door in crowds have packed central buenos aires to celebrate the return of antennas, world champion football squad, a huge turnout forced the team to try their boss parade for a helicopter tour. as teresa by reports, a victory parade for your name macy and the national team in will site is on tuesday. related to we jenny 17. he says he waited 4 hours just to be able to
