those showers ah, join the debate. when we talk about climate change in africa, we should focus on adaptation knocked mitigation on air or online at your voice. it shouldn't be explaining that wasn't love, but not is being right now is doing everything that is going to benefit them more revealing new perspectives like getting this out of proportion. no, no, his region has power is what is disproportionate. the stream we're a global audience becomes a global community on al jazeera, bold and untold stories and asia and the pacific. i'm out here. ah, this is al jazeera

ah, hello, i'm so robin. you're watching the al jazeera news. i live from dough hall coming up in the next 60 minutes. moscow accuses the us government of waging a proxy war against russia and street to street fighting intensifies as russian troops continue their assault to control the ukrainian city of backwoods. also the u. s. braces for what's being called a once in a generation when to storm and phase of a new wave of cov, 19 in china, the world health organization, or just beijing, to provide more information and in sport. marcus rash for fire is manchester united to victory in the english, the county england world cup star, helping his teams secure a spot in the quarter finals. ah,

ah, it's good every company. welcome to the news. our moscow has accused the u. s. government of fighting an indirect war against russia using ukrainian soldiers instead of its own. the comment follows a visit to washington d. c by ukrainian president vladimir zalinski his 1st overseas trip since russian troops invaded nearly a year ago. and an address to congress lensky said the supply of military a. the key was an investment in global security and democracy. the eastern city of baltimore is now the epicenter of the war, ukrainian forces of how their ground and a territory russia could use to advance on other cities if it takes control. well, it slam harder has done by for us in moscow. but 1st, let's hear what charles stratford has to say from the capital, keith. but the moon is undeniably one of the hottest places along that 1300 kilometer front line. it's a city that is being fought for with increasing intensity, i suppose,

over the last 5 months of this 10 months war. and it's bad to say that suddenly in the last month or so, the russians have made very little advance. we know that the fighting is especially a tense in the east of the city. this is a place that is now being called a meat grinder. and that's with reference to that world war. one battle is very done, where tens of thousands of soldiers were killed. we understand the thousands of ukrainians and russian soldiers have been killed in the battle for back moot, many civilians as well. we also know that there are still surprisingly quite a few civilians in that town. refusing to leave la z, as is usually the case because they have nowhere else to go and they're worried about their properties. but mood is strategically important because it is potentially a gateway to other large cities in the don't it's region the cities of cremmit,

sourced and sloppy answer. but it's, it's fair to say that the situation has come to a very brutal war of attrition and a stalemate. was because i have to most can speak without their correspondence. so before we talk about reaction to the skis visit to the us, let's just talk about the i a e, a chief. he's been in russia again, trying to avoid any potential sort of nuclear incident to me what's come out of that meeting and that visit so he'll augusta has arrived this morning to most school and he had a very long meeting in may say. so with the head of the russian atomic agency in the meeting, the weather is sensitive also of them in the city of defense, the russian, the city of defense, that option is put in effort. and also it's

a sensitive from the national guard, the russian national guard, who are the main 2 that are now present in support nuclear plants after that, the think nothing of christian was now just saying that it's not in or good to avoid. and you fear incidence also, the head of the russian nuclear agency has said that approach my has been observed during the meeting between the 2 parties on our post to both draft of establishing a securities on ends up photos. yeah. but the hutch of has added that and now more consultation will go on with the i. e a in order to to draft a new to the accept his proposal on that. so just to remind you to have one else

that. c russia continuously is saying that it has no problem to solve this in this zone. i don't put up with one very important condition which is that the soul, just the russian soldier, specially from the national god shall remain ends up, put all she has up here is one whole ukrainian region that most school has a next last october. 3rd, a very in the future, but indeed, this has been the moving parts to the story today for ukraine. it, let's talk about reaction from russia in terms of that very warm welcome lensky going to in washington, d. c. and a promise of more arms and more funding that's going to anger moscow. it has indeed the so have we've heard today from the folks many of the kremlin them instead of mislead fiscal. he said that the visit itself, so that's neither key. yeah, no d, c are willing to sit and talk about the cold mix in

a new plane. also fiscal said, that's all the odds, especially the petri assistance that the united states has promised to provide. he had with will be a victim of sod get to that us and army. also all the 3 of the military 3 knows all of that. he said, if they have been sent and deployed on the, in ukraine, there was some and the american will also be eligible to get to the russian army. this is what fiscal had said. also, he added that these continuous shipments off on will only prolong the agony of the ukrainian people and it will not hinder most for to achieve the goals of what moscow called the special operation in your pain, which is the wars address. so i will go to the update. thanks very much. of course, on that for us in moscow, ukraine is getting a significant boost to its defenses as salon mentioned in its war with russia. a

new one pointing $1000000000.00 assistance package announced by the american president will include patriot missiles or defense that the topless has more on the effectiveness of the weapons. the patriot air defense system is 40 years old, but has constantly been improved over the years and is designed to protect vital cities and air bases. the latest version, good detect incoming crews and ballistic missiles, up to a 150 kilometers away. the advanced intercept to missiles once launched in the right direction, or then able to guide themselves to hit oncoming aircraft or missiles. well that's the idea anyway. is records being patchy when used during the gulf war in 1991. the failure rate was found afterwards to be between 60 and 95 percent, but it still sold to us allies in the gulf like co 8 saudi arabia, the u. e and cutter. i recently as 2017. the saudi armed forces were reporting regular fe is against iranian design, missiles,

norris by huffy rebels in yemen. despite these failures, the information received on these missiles has allowed the manufacturers to improve the patriot into an effective air defense missile system. this information will be especially valuable as russian missile inventories run low in the war and ukraine and russia increasingly relies on a rainy and built drones and short range missiles. will the patrick make a difference to the war unlikely? the u. s. has few patriot batteries to spare, and the cost of each miss are fired is $4000000.00 compared with 250004 russian cruise missile, and $50000.00 for iranian dro. the arrival of the portrait is more about showing political support for ukraine than it will be about defending the country. own matthews, as the former moscow bureau chief for newsweek magazine, joe's been alive from rome guitar be with us, mister matthews, on the program. under piece time scenarios, a leader of a sovereign state would often be seen as visiting the white house and it's all part

and parcel of old p r campaign back home in this particular clay case with mister zalinski, it's more about the very existence of a sovereign state, so perhaps more gravitas attached to it. that's certainly true. i mean, lensky is zelinski. the task is to keep the war and keep support for the war from to the center of the american political debate. i think it's very clear. ready spokesmen of but said that. ready said in so many was that they expect the americans to lose interest. ready west to lose interest. so the political cycle to move on for political position on the far right of the public and policy. ready states to grow opposition to ukraine, and basically the, the best the, the strategy that the russians could you give him that consistent series

defeats in the field is just hope that ukraine's western allies will eventually give up lose interest. they'll be political position. so that being the case, it's important, it's essential, it's vital lensky to keep bad support front of the center of the place for debate and he triumphed. in fact, i knew the rest of davis was with comparing his visit to church in. ready speech to the joint council of congress in december 1941. and he received an enormous standing ovation. so in that sense, it was in on the test was events in terms of months he's address. yes, he hills to be very aware that come january the house will transfer power you might say to the republicans. some of those in, in the house are also quite skeptical about the support of the u. s. and the billions of dollars that are going towards ukraine again, i mean basically he's also very aware that he has to bring them on the side in those behind closed doors meetings,

i'm sure he will be having that's true. i mean, what was, what was most striking, i think about, about the key speech to congress was actually the extent of the cross party support and lindsey and his speech is capital to thank both parties in order precisely to marginalize, the rather small number of trump. republicans that oppose it, and in fact, according to news reports, only full republicans refused to load. the land is a far anti ukrainian position, remains very much longer than the republican party and he wants to keep it that way . how concerned or will us be of the words from moscow about the u. s. logic proxy war. what your response could be for from moscow in the days or weeks ahead will be where it simply for the simple reason that we've had the tone of the times before. i mean, they, every time the us announces a new package,

the russians say it's a proxy war, but it also say the mythos systems with an ukraine ologist but targets, well, obviously their missile systems and it was and so none of this is really very meaningful. and the united and in the russian propaganda machine has been basically telling russell's not just the beginning of the war, but well before the beginning of the war that russia is at war with name so. so in that sense, actually, it doesn't really change anything materially because that's what russia has always, as always been telling people, russian propaganda machine is always been telling people, obviously as the landscape vide, will be very closely watching the i a. e. a chiefs visit to moscow today and word from our correspondent that the meeting that between the 2 sides was a very long one. the saber rattling of, of a nuclear deterrent is still a worry, isn't it? on the, on the sidelines of the conflict its worry is something that i think

the premiums have, i think, dismissed as a real battlefield threat. but the real problem of the say, nuclear sabre rattling is that for the americans and especially for the french and it was for several of key western allies of ukraine. the priority is not just ensuring that putin is humiliated in the field, but also in ensuring and perhaps more important. priority is ensuring that this does not show this company does not trigger a wells war. and in that sense, because it's it introduces the fact that russia is the world's 2nd largest nuclear armed power does introduce a fundamental limitation to the possible and games of this war. in other words, russia is not. russia is not iraq is not something that is not a country that can be easily defeated simply because it has new. so the idea of actually attacking russia or

a complete defeat. russia is off the tape. ready because of the news at the same time, it's really clear that russia's very significant allies of allies kind of outlined because cautious ally, let's say, which is china, has come in very strongly with the command initiatives saying that russia should not, under any circumstances use taxable nuclear any nuclear weapons, so the fact that chinese restraining china as well as the i e a is actually and they will continue the course to watch this story and follow it very closely for the moment. i mean, matthew set forth in rome. thanks for your time. the world health organization is urging beijing to provide more detailed information on the spread of cave. in 1900 in china. reco numbers of infections have been reported since the government began easing restrictions, but deaths from cape 19 have been low to china. change its criteria for recording them is only counting those 2 to pneumonia or respiratory failure. the u. s. is

warning the virus could mutate while neighboring india is stepping up surveillance . w choice, very concerned over the evolving situation in china. with increasing reports of severe diseases. in order to make a comprehensive risk assessment of the situation on the ground, w, joe needs more detailed information on visit severity, hospital admissions, and requirements for i see you support w. j, supporting china to focus its efforts on vaccinating people on the highest risk across the country. and we continue to offer our support for clinical care and protecting its health system. managers of a hospital in shanghai have told us to prepare for a surgeon covered 900 cases. as the virus sweeps across china, they said, and the social media post that half of the cities 25000000 people are expected to become infected. by the end of the year,

pul hunter is epidemiologist and professor in medicine at the university of east anglia. he says china is in a difficult position when it comes to containing the virus. it said to be a, b, b at point 7 variant that's circulating at the moment in china. although again, there's not lots of data on the international surveillance gina type surveillance data. but, you know, from the news, i think the, at the, at the point 7 now bit point 7 is actually reasonably common, very globally and, and in the rest of the world is actually on a decline. and this does seem to be less infectious at the moment than most of the other periods with circulating globally vaccination doesn't necessarily provide very long term protection against infection. so what and china has

really stopped its main vaccination come a lot. last january, february time has given very few additional boosters to that. so essentially most of the protection against infection that china would have had 10 months ago has been as as evaporated in the west. we have most of us have both already had an infection and being vaccinated and that's what's called hybrid immunity. and that gives much longer, much better protection against severe disease and death and time. and there are very few people with hybrid reality in china. so add to that the fact that this being particularly poor uptake in older people who are the most vulnerable to severe disease, hospitalization, and death than china is actually really in a difficult position to morehead hale military news are including monsoon floods, sweep malaysia, pulsing tens of thousands of people from their homes,

also major cabinet, re shuffling through the president, trying to find a way out of a deepening political crisis. and it's sport. we'll hear what poland captain has to say about the welcome final, or we'll have that story in sport. ah no, the founder of the clubs crypto currency exchange f t x is in f. b. i custody. and as arrived in the us, some bank when fried was flown out of the bahamas overnight. after agreeing to be extradited. he's facing several charges relating to one of the biggest financial frauds in us history to his associates have pleaded guilty to fraud. well with just a few days until christmas, the last minute shopping rush as well and away. but consumers in the us are feeding the squeeze of rising prices and interest rates, and they are spending as freely as previous years. as christian salumi explains.

tis the season to buy gifts and rising prices are on many shoppers mine. inflation may be slowing in the united states, but prices are still way up over last year. and holiday sales are lagging. but i definitely have noticed like price hikes this year, things are a lot more expensive than they typically are. bills like it's a holiday, so i don't want to change anyone, but you know, things are more expensive. notably in an effort to reduce inflation to 2 percent. the fed has been raising interest rates from near 0 in march to just under 4 and a half percent by years and, and your own power made clear recently he wasn't ready to stop the increases just yet. i don't think anyone knows whether we're going to have a recession or not. and if we do, whether it's going to be a deep one or not, it's just, it's not knowable. still, it's not all bad news. wages for the lowest earners have gone up considerably. and the labor market remain strong. you're somebody who's stalking that milk in the

grocery store. you're noticing your wages have risen more in the past 3 years than in the past 20 years. and your chance of getting a job or quitting your job, if you don't like it and getting a better one are better than they've been in one of your 25 years. of course, it's not just holiday presents that have gotten more expensive. it's things like rent and mortgage rates and services like haircut. so some economists are worried that raising interest rates may do more harm than good. last week, the bank of england and the european central bank followed the fed raising rates by half a percentage point to 3 and a half percent, and 2 and a half percent. but higher interest rates could discourage businesses from making new investments. it's already making it harder for poor countries. also dealing with inflation to pay back loans. un says $54.00 countries are at risk of defaulting. most of all sports countries find themselves on what one could call them, ro, steadying down the abyss of insolvency and defaults. these yet alone,

their depth service payments skyrocketed 65 percent. the largest increase in decades. and with credit card debt rising this holiday season, many families say santa, we'll have to tighten his belt. we went in like expectations. i am going to get it and get it, and then we went in and the prices have gone like now, right now we're just hold on. are they to will feel the pinch of higher interest rates in the new year? kristen salumi al jazeera new york through the new president, dean and but they had carried out a major cabinet reshuffle in the country. reels from violent protests. the response by the impeachment and imprisonment of form of president federal castillo this month. elections have been brought forward in response to demonstrated demands. but alas, anxious has more from lima seniority we shall wear though what that are laughing at, and a new minister sworn in only 14 days after dinner while you are at the took over the

presidency. former defense minister, alberto or that will i will now lead the cabinet in a country immersed in political and social turmoil if moment, but that equal bad luck, it is time to recover peace and gipstick bbt and cover nobility to the country. yes . oh, i am no longer live here. on wednesday, tension seemed to cool off around the country. a day after a majority of legislators voted for bulwark. this bid to bring elections forward 2 years by april 20, 2483 per cent of peruvians demanded new general elections. a thoroughness cabinet will now wait for a vote of confidence in congress and political opponents say they must keep the government a chance. instead, tensions rose on the diplomatic front, former president pedro garcia's wife and children were granted asylum, and flown off to mexico. on wednesday, they do responded by expelling mexico's ambassador wi mexico's precedent. a

friend of castillo defended his country's right to grant asylum, and denounced by those governments handling of the situation. maria law, which the peruvian government is highly questioned as a whole for its action, especially for opting for repression. director doretha, the new prime minister said look, his old other statements are unfortunate and unacceptable interference. you know, what will happen to me better. we will not allow any person outside the government of peru to interfere incessantly with the government of broo. oh, now, but his government is focused on trying to quell tensions and seek to restore order at the countries deeply divided and remains under a state of emergency. innocent as i'll just see that lima be to the malaysia around 65000 people have been forced from the homes after monsoon. flood sweat, the north emergency services are evacuating people from 2 of the worst hit states and 4 of the areas 5 people have been reported kill so far. more rain is expected

on thursday. the last year, the worst floods and managers, history left more than 50 people that and thousands displaced. what was lou has moved from tom barton, one of the worst it states of kalonde. hm. while many places are still inundated and flood waters now behind me, and it looks just like a lake, but in reality, these are paddy fields. and that's quite a common seen in this area. we also visited a village that's been under water since monday, and people say they're say, the flood waters are receding, but extremely slowly. they're still not been able to return to their homes. those have left. there are however, people who refuse to leave. they're still living in their homes, some, even though there's water that's entered their homes of waters about maybe 10 centimeters high, but they're still staying put they say, because they want to look after their belongings. but people there are so used to these floods happening. the annual monsoon season stretches from december to february, and there are times when they experience floods,

maybe 2 or 3 times during the monsoon season, so they've had to adapt to living with these floods. now one person we spoke to said he's changed the level of the floor in 2 rooms of his home so that at least when the flood waters enter his home, he's able to place his belongings on higher ground to ensure that they're not damage. but the damage is, is vast. i mean, and these rise feels at least the harvest and. ready the previous harvest and they've already harvested the rice from the previous crop. they haven't yet planted . the next top to the rice is safe, but there are many vegetable gardens and their fruit trees that maybe have been damaged. and people here say, even though they, if they're kind of resigned to living with floods, they do want more assistance from the government, not in terms of just financial aid, but a long term plan to do with these floods. the powerful wind storm is making its way through the us and canada, bringing with it crippling snow and extremely cold temperatures. has been called a once in a generation event that's disrupting a long travel tree. one of the busiest times of the year i'm talking up

a little bit off the shop between now and after christmas. now travel plans we scrapped and we were going to go to chicago but no, that's out now. so i'm glad we scrap that trip. check on each other. make sure everyone gets home, say, watch out for each other. well, small, this is all where the present a car like it just seems her and us. it is a major winter storm bringing with it a canadian arctic blocks and that's already dropped temperatures to exceptionally low figures. we are expecting that trend to continue not being called a once in a generation event. we've got warnings out for at least $37.00 states in the us, and we are expecting travel disruption at the busiest time of the year. now we look at the satellite image. it moved on earlier in the week coming in from the us northwest, dropping heavy snow as well though for western parts of canada and from the states like montana and cross the northern rockies is going to continue that way. if we

have a look at the temperature chart, you can see that cold and moving down in denver is already seen a record drop in temperature. we could see the coldest day here in about 30 years. that trend does continue reaching all the way to the u. s deep south, we are expecting about 80 percent of the country to experience those sub 0 temperatures. now the day is set to be the worst day for travel disruption. and that's thanks to this wind chill. it's been called potentially life threatening. and it's going to be those worse conditions to areas such as the midwest and great lakes, a deadly arctic spell. severe wind, chill, heavy snow, and blizzard and of course so called white's out conditions. now on friday, this is where it gets interesting. it's going to turn into what you asked me to really just call a bomb cycle and that's what it intensifies. so rapidly becomes a category 3 hurricane and that's going to bring severe thunderstorms. damaging winds blizzard and white out conditions dangerous roads. and it's going, it continues on its way to the north east that keep in the exceptional cold in

places like chicago. while we will see some recovery for florida, orlando, there is 8 degrees celsius, is still the cold as it has been for a very long time. and it is expected, expected to be the coldest christmas in about 40 years for eastern areas of the u. s. car, thanks very much for the don't keep an eye on that for some time now. still had here on the news of benjamin netanyahu. is that to return to par with the most right wing coalition government and israel's history. angry look at how the world cup and cattle has also showcased its appreciation of the arts. and its puerto career high efforts from this player, the n b a. as the toronto raptors put an end to their losing street. ah ah

i just have a new thought with me. so the reminder of our top stories. moscow has accused the u . s. government of waging a proxy war against russia. we common follow the ukrainian president's visit to washington, d. c. e told congress military, puerto ukraine war with russia was an investment in global security. democracy health organization is urging basing to provide more detailed information for the k 19 in china. they need to be inefficiently recorded for 2nd day. the bodies are reported to be piling up in crematorium. the powerful winter storm is making its way through the us and canada, bringing with it crippling snow. extremely cold temperatures is being called

a once in a generation event that's disrupting of land travel. during one of the busiest time of the year, the funeral has been held for a 23 year old palestinian men killed in an israeli raid in the occupied west bank. it happened while is ready. troops rated the city of nobliss to school is ready. settlers on there in case of a religious site, amid the who has from the nearby town to the us. he's reported to played for local football club. and under palestinians, killed by israel is no reason to $220.00 full say for this year. the worst since 2006. well israel's longest serving prime minister benjamin netanyahu as if he secured a last minute deal to form a new government. that's an y'all, he was facing a midnight deadline to arrange a coalition and it follows weeks of tough negotiations with religious and far right coalition partners. but the bride reports for west jerusalem i did since his election victory several weeks ago. benjamin netanyahu has been

bogged down in tough negotiations to form a new israeli government. the right wing the could leader was granted a 10 day extension of his mandate to form a government which he has needed. yeah, it's quite remarkable and a little bit hard to fathom. he won a decisive election victory way back on november. the 1st we knew exactly who the allies would be in his coalition. they ran as a block. i guess he would say it's been really hard. they been driving a really tough bargain. but from the outside, it looks like he projected and bizarre weakness, and this is made for a very complicated process. netanyahu has formed an alliance with leaders who until now have been considered on the fringes of the political spectrum limit like it to my bank revere convicted of supporting a terrorist organization and racist incitement. he will become police minister with expanded powers to control the force. betsel,

else motorists will be given ministerial responsibility for the illegal settlements in the occupied west bank. he has long lobbied for their expansion as well as control over palestinian construction there. and area dairy, who is still serving a suspended sentence for tax fraud and who needed a change in the law to allow him to become minister. the question for many is whether netanyahu can keep these partners in check. and in the what he said is, trust me, i am running the show here. but if you look at the way he's negotiated his coalition, they've certainly had and they've made their influence felt and you have to assume that will continue to be the case. i made fears that all ready combustible tensions could flare out of control. palestinians seem to be expecting the worst with no one expecting this government to follow any paths towards peace. critics of this coalition speculate that some of its more hard line members might welcome a violent palestinian response to justify further crackdowns on the occupied west

bank and gaza. what's clear is with the unprecedented makeup of this government, israeli politics are entering you and uncharted territory. rob mcbride, al jazeera west jerusalem. well, joining me now in studio is mob bashar al jazeera senior political analyst. get of you this, sir. my one. i mean, can you start with a quote from mister netanyahu? he said, i wanted to announce to you and thanks to the amazing public support we received in the elections. i have succeeded in forming a coalition that will take care of all citizens of israel. my questions poses new ones that if he'd got the support of the israeli public, he would have had a full majority. a wouldn't have had to look for a coalition partners. so does he really had the support of the majority of israelis? he of course he himself and his party. they do not. but it is what he considers to be the really religious nationalist camp. the very ultra conservative

zionists are right wing camp. that includes 3 religious zionist parties, plus his own liquid party, which is a party way to the right. that is also 5 religious part, all cra nationalist. so what you got here now in israel to day is 64 out of 120 that are squarely in their religious nationalist. can believe it or not. half of the opposition meaning half of the other, 56 parliamentarian israel are also right wing nationalists. insects, most of them worked for nathan yell. most of the leaders of the other party and opposition worked for nathan. now, some of them as his bureau chiefs. right all. but because of personal

difficulties because of personal differences with nathan now they would not to they enter into coalition with him. so in fact, the national religious alter just camp in israel, is more than 3 quarters of thickness of each of these. and it's a set of sort of interesting fed fellows to think this coalition can actually survive. i think it is both a marriage of convenience and a marriage out of love. meaning already we've seen the fruits of the marriage of convenience in the sense that they are gonna cover up for netanyahu, for his own indictment on corruption charges. and he's already covering up for some of them, like who's the, the person who was going to be the next interior minister was said very, or perhaps finance minister. he is been indicted on facts evasion. and he's going to become the sectors of treasury. don't ask me why or how,

but that's how it is in israel. so they're covering up for each other. there is that aspect. the other one, aside from the convenience, is that they really believe in a number of things about israel. one is that the nation of israel is something over secret that is divinely ah, defined that it is it more historic and traditional and it's more important than the question of democracy and citizenship. they believe this jewish nation of this jewishness is more important than democracy and liberalism within as they also believe that they have been historically prosecuted by the same time they believed to be embracing violence and force above everything else. and that's why they believe in the occupation they believe in practicing violence. against the better scenes on occupation. they believe only force would bring peace. so there is a number of characteristics that already lost on the left in israel are calling then you fascists. in government, meaning that the now and his courts,

they will have to leave it but will get more analysis. i'm sure, for me as that government formation becomes a more evidence of moment mom bushera up political, our senior political unless thank you very much. and of course there for more of this and on my one piece you can read more calls on our website is called netanyahu . the godfather, modern israeli fascism is on al jazeera dot com, and our website is updated thought the day. and mama's piece is fair speed a 100 days since william router was sworn in as kenya's present when they hotly contested election in august. they promised to provide financial assistance to small businesses, revive economy, and tackle corruption from nairobi. malcolm web takes a look at reuters milestone george gibson is one of hundreds of thousands of motor bike taxi drivers in kenya, struggling with rising costs. 4 months ago campaigning for elections. william roots said he'd help them and other small traders with government loans. i asked you was
