ah, hello, i am, sam is a dan. this is the news i live from del, how coming up in the next 60 minutes ukraine's president's back from his trip abroad. the u. s. doubles down on its support as russia's resolved to complete, its special operation remains strong. the battle for back most intense street fighting as russian troops continue their assault to seize the ukrainian city phase of a new spike of cove at 19 across china. the world health organization urges badging for more information. the u. s. braces for its being called a once in a generation winter storm. ah, russia is accusing the white house of fighting and in direct war,

saying the united states is using ukrainian soldiers instead of its own. or the common follows a visit by the ukrainian president to washington d. c. vladimir, the landscape 1st overseas trips since russian troops invaded nearly a year ago. he addressed congress saying the supply of military aid was an investment in global security in democracy. but on the ground rushes far from giving up the defense minister. so gay chicago has been visiting troops on the front lines. the foreign ministry spokesperson is also responded accusing ukraine in the u. s. of not wanting to end the war. bidding a warning letter the negotiations, well, you understand, we say negotiations in quotation marks showed that neither ukraine nor the united states as striving to pace, thus simply determined to continue hostilities. let's go live now to moscow, the serious hill i'm heather has the latest for us. so what options policy options

is moscow looking at and how to respond to the increased usaid to ukraine? some in moscow has such clearly today that all aids send to ukraine by the united states patriot systems, or other would be legitimate targets to the russian army. also, the personnel that might be deployed with such systems to train or to operate these systems would be also a target for the russian army. we have heard this clearly by the spokesperson of the kremlin mitre post school. and also today there was something very important spoken by the chief of. 5 staff of the russian army general and get us the more he said that the united states is actively in getting involved in this conflict through sending ad supplying more weapons to clean this what moscow has

clearly said it will respond to the more arms being sent by the united states and other european and may 2 countries to ukraine, that are also another scenario that would be possible. but it's not clear if russia would resort to such an option that would be launching and todd from the been lead, who's been the russian territory through the best that would facilitate the russian army, reaching the city of some vive. and thus cutting the main road that supplies weapons to ukraine through poland, but it's unclear yet if moscow, when old, when it will result to such a tactical move on the ground because it will be looked at as a drastic step in the conflict that has been going for 10 months? no. all right, we'll leave it there. thanks so much. the battle for the east in ukrainian city of

buckman, which is continuing nearly 5 months off, the russian troops invaded the these are some of the latest pictures coming out of the city. that's in ruins, ukrainian forces, and held the ground that territory that russia could use to advance another cities . chance transfer has more now from key is but is undeniably one of the hottest places along that 1300 kilometer front line. it's a city that has been 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 criminals and slob yonce. but it's fair to say that the situation has come to a very brutal war of attrition and a stalemate. david daryl shay is a professor at the national defense university is also a former nato operations director in the office of the us. secretary of defense

joins us now from washington d. c. so 1st of all, how will this be stopped? us aid and support ukraine actually impact the battlefield. do you think? i don't think there'll be an impact immediately of the patriot missiles. some of the more less headline grabbing weapon reach, i think we'll have more of an effect. i mean, what do you craniums really need at this point? is artillery something as mundane as 152 millimeter artillery rounds. they need air defense guns, not missiles to defeat drones. and they need a sustainable logistics system to move all this stuff up to the front line. all of these are not very glamorous, but they'll have a big, the big impact. the patriot missile. on the other hand, i think in the short term will primarily be a morale boost for the ukrainian population. well, there be enough of these systems whether we talk about patriot or some of the more mundane items. you mentioned like artillery to cover basically all the major urban

areas that are getting pummeled right now in a country that is as fast as the biggest country, isn't it? yeah. this, the short answer is no. i mean, what we've realized is the european countries have bonsai armies. they're, they're like perfect. they have all the elements, but they're too small for what's needed and even the united states doesn't have the, you know, the, we currently don't have the reserves to support this indefinitely. so we're going to have to step up production and our allies are going to have to step up production and eventually, particularly in her offense. you know, the ukrainians have been using former soviet union on russian produce equipment. and you know, the polls have stripped their arsenal. slovakia has shipped them all, their russian stuff, they're going to run out of that eventually they're going to have to shift to a western based system which will probably mean patriot. but this will take years

and right now we've been reacting to events. we actually need to have a strategic vision for modernizing ukrainian armed forces for a prolonged struggle that sideways. nice st. what was going to be my next question, which is, how long will this take? and will it necessitate, we know that training, at least, for example, is going to take place in germany? will any of the, the shift towards deploying more western systems light ukraine, necessitate the deployment of u. s. or nato troops actually in the ukraine, you know, to assist with, with using this equipment? well, the closer your trainers are to the battlefields of the more effective your training is and you know, because you don't lose days taking people out in the training. but the problem is that appears to be a constraint that we've. ready imposed on ourselves in large part of you know, putin's nuclear threats have deterred the western alliance. so it's gonna take a long time in the big issue is not the operators of the equipment there can be

done in a couple of weeks. so the big issue is maintenance the patriot radar system, or it has to go down for 20 or 25 percent of its operational time for maintenance. and it's hard to do that at a distance. so there's going to be a big effort here. it's going to take a long time to get it right, but it can theoretically be done at a distance. all right, thanks so much. good to get your thoughts on that. thank you. all the world health organization is urging bay ging to provide more details on the spread of coven 19 in china. reco numbers of infections have been revolted, since the government started easing restrictions. but that's from covered 19 have been relatively low since china changed its criteria. it's now only counting those due to pneumonia or aspire tree failure. the u. s. is warning the virus could mutates while neighboring india is stepping up surveillance. w choice,

very concerned over the evolving situation in china, was increasingly ports of severe diseases. in order to make a comprehensive risk assessment of the situation on the ground, devanie jo needs more detailed information on business severity, hospital admissions, and requirements for i see you support deputy 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 it's health system. the managers of a shanghai hospital of told staff to prepare for a surgeon cove at 19 cases as the virus sweeps across china. they said in the social media, post half of the cities 25000000 people could become infected by the end of the year. the families, well the smith is a professor. busy of emerging infectious diseases at the london school of hygiene

and tropical medicine joins us now from green. devolve in switzerland. good to have you with us. so 1st of all, what do you make of this? is this the beginning of another wave of cove? it in china or not. oh no, it is clearly hash the start of a major wave in, in china and, and we'll see of the major soon. i mean the words that i always like to use off of cases and it will just swiftly go through the entire country. okay, will it go outside of the entire country? in other words, could this be the start of a new round for the whole world? how are it, should we be? it will definitely also and go outside of china. that's, you know, we need to remember that travel kind is still quite low, and outbound travel out of china is still quite low. and, and the rest of the world we are, you know, we do have a very high vaccine coverage based on the chrome is clearly

a van that causes less severe disease. so i do think that we may see a slight search in cases, but i don't think it will be the same kind of tsunami that we had in 2020. all right, so one for that not, not as intense is china, nevertheless prepared for a spike. we're hearing about reports of hospitals filling up and so on. ready you know, the simple answer is no country is really prepared for such a search of cases and china problem all countries as the best prepared because they are able to rapidly ramp up the building of makes it to hospitals and they've done so in the past. so i do think that china will soon the system will soon be overwhelmed and, and maybe there's some kind of knock down. i needed to, to basically safeguards the hospital system about yes of all countries. i do think

china is really well prepared. he said some kind of luck found might be needed can authority. so a full to re introduce law downs, given the protests we recently had against restrictions. so people want those with their feet kindly. they're ready. a lot of people are not going out on the streets . people are not going to work because of fear. so independent of government lock downs, people are reacting themselves. all right, good to get your analysis and thoughts on that. i'm all still had on the news. our including to hear says sweden must a concrete steps to address security concerns. monsoon flood sweep malaysia falls in tens of thousands of people from their homes. ah,

took is foreign minister says sweden hasn't taken any concrete steps to address it . security concerns my flu, chow sharla held a news conference with his swedish counterpart on thursday. cho shallow says dark. busy has failed to extradite people with links to terrorism. sweden wants to care to approve its bed to join the nato security alliance. parker to suck the b is shasta, they have extradited a person affiliated with p, k. k to our country. already these are steps taken in the right way. however, there are no concrete developments on certain subjects, particularly an extra dating terror linked to individuals and freezing terror related assets was a call. the swedish police authority and v security service give priority to operational cooperation. following this agreement and pick a k, maybe he's not a great threat to sweden, but it is definitely a fretful took ear. and that is something which we take very seriously from the

swedish government. nearly 65000 people living in flood relief center and malaysia after flood waters hit large parts of the northeast fraud. slowly reports from kelantan state. most people evacuated this village when flood waters started rising earlier this week. the only way to get around now is by boat mohammed. the use of and his family are among the few who decided to stay by your valet by you. it should be difficult to move. it's not as comfortable because the relief centers are more crowded and my disability only to depend on someone to help me move around or continue to stay here. as long as it's safe to do so silly that will do a leg with the monsoon season. in malaysia lasts from november to february, and flooding has become more common. some have modified their homes to deal with

the threat. mohammed rose d, billy brought him, raised the height of the floors in some rooms by nearly 30 centimeters to keep his belongings dry. but that didn't stop him worrying when water started to rise on monday by the rain was very heavy and i was concerned because i am in the help bad things got in 2014 that he has flood was one of the worst in living memory. at its height, more than 200000 people were forced from their homes. official say the level of rainfall recorded in some parts of the state on sunday was the highest since 1967. it looks like we're in the middle of a lake. there's water all around us and in some parts it's more than 2 meters deep . but this was once a patti field and the rise was harvested before the floods came. the vegetable gardens have been destroyed. no official estimate of the damage the flood waters

have caused has yet been released. but when they receive many here will have to slowly replace and rebuild what they've lost. florence li, al jazeera too, but cool. and then state alaysia every now christmas may be just around the corner, but it seems to us consumers may have had a road block, inflation reach reco levels this year, while interest rates have also climbed. now some shoppers having to put on the brakes. kristen salumi reports tis the season to buy gifts and rising prices are on many shoppers mines. inflation may be slowing in the united states, but prices are still way up over last year. and holiday sales are lagging. right, so i definitely have noticed my 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 shore change anyone,

but you know things are more expensive noticeably 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 year's end. and your own power made clear recently, he wasn't ready to stop the increases just yet. and 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. then 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 or better than they've been in 20 or 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 haircuts. 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 payback loans. luanne says 50 poor countries are at risk of defaulting. most of all sports companies find themselves on what one could call them to roll, steadying down the abyss of insolvency and the faults, these yet alone, their depth service payments skyrocketed set the 5, but since the largest increase in decades and with credit card debt rising, this holiday season, many family, se santa will have to tighten his belt. we went in with like expectations. they were gonna give us a good listener where we went in. the prices have gone up, were like, well, now,

right now we're just hold off. they to will feel the pinch of higher interest rates in the new year. kristin salumi al jazeera new york, the founder of li, collapsed crypto currency exchange f t. x is in f. b. i custody sam bank mon friday was flown out of the bahamas after agreeing to be extradited. few s. he's facing several charges relating to one of the biggest financial frauds in u. s. history. 2 of his associates of pleaded guilty to fraud. a powerful winter storm is making its way through the u. s. and calendar bringing with it massive amounts of snow and extremely low temperatures. it's been cold a once in a generation event. this disrupting traveled during one of the busiest times of the year. car leg reports for people in parts of the us. this christmas is beginning to look a lot like the coldest in decades. will the 90000000 in at least 37 states have

a half years living in the pacific northwest and specifically here one, okay, i don't remember a specific instance where i can remember temperatures quite as low as the storm develops, it's set to become what you asked me to. religious call a bomb cy clone. that's when a system intensifies rapidly with its central air pressure dropping at least $24.00 millimeters in 24 hours. that would put it in line with a pressure of a category 3 hurricane and bring about blizzards as well as severe thunderstorms and white out conditions. the once in a generation winter weather event is threatening to deliver the coldest christmas to the midwest in nearly 40 years. and it may not be so long until the next one. you assigned to say climate change is made storms like this increase in frequency and intensity. during the past 70 years, car leg al jazeera afghanistan is facing a shortage of basic goods. as the u. s. warns of the u. n. rather warns of famine

65000 from their homes in northern malaysia. evacuations are underway. forecasters are expecting more rain in the coming days. a funeral has been held for a 23 year old palestinian man killed and is ready right in the occupied westbank. it happened while israeli troops braided the city of douglas to scold israeli settlers on their incursion into a religious site. man, man was from the nearby town of to us. he told it to a place for a local football club. the number of kind of citizens killed by israel has risen 224 so far this year. that's the highest since 2006 alice rails long as serving prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he secured a last minute deal to form a new government that now was facing a midnight deadline to arrange a coalition. it follows weeks of tough negotiations with religious and far right.

coalition partners run mcbride reports from west jerusalem. ha ha ha ha ha. 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. i mean, 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, they've made their influence felt, and you have to assume that will continue to the case. i made fears that already combustible tension could flare out of control. palestinians seem to be expecting the worst with no one expecting this government to follow any path towards peace. critics,

the 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 entering you and uncharted territory. robert bride al jazeera west . teresa gill hoffman is a political analyst and the executive director of media, watchdog honest reporting, joins us now from west jerusalem. good. have you with us? so 1st of all, how solid do you think this coalition is? this is a very homogenous coalition with net anyhow and his right wing allies. it's not uncharted waters as your report said, that you know, is a very known commodity to the world. one of the world's most longest serving leaders. and in the past, he's proven that despite his reputation for being hawkish when he comes to power, he doesn't embark on adventures that would lead to,

to war. he ends up trying to make peace, and that's what he's going to try to do is prime minister. it is a bit of on childhood waters when it comes to how right wing this government is right. there are definitely more right wing parties than there have been in the past. and the reason for that is because ahead of the election, you had $300.00 terrorist attacks in one month. and that's what made is really go on security and elect. what could be the most right when government abundant more important is railey when they voted the most security minded government that if they succeed in bringing about that security, that's good for jewish christian and muslim israelis as well as college students. however, televi mayo, ron, hold. i, he says israel is heading towards becoming a fascist theocracy. this is going to spike some internal divisions, isn't it? there is no doubt that there are plenty of internal divisions in israeli democracy

or how the country should go being both the jewish state of the democratic states and trying to figure out how to make that work together. they're going to be challenges about whether to be more jewish, and then you've got a supreme court that will intervene in the owl as personally said that he won't let there be steps taken. that would distance israel from the world know stuffs against l g b t community. unlike what happened in the world cup and cuts are he's going to make sure not to distance american jews to keep a good relationship with the democratic administration in washington. and if you've seen in the past that has been right when leaders in israel, who made peace against all odds, legislation needs to be passed so solid. these configures can take on the palace, which netanyahu is trying to promise them. people like audio dairy, the leader of the author orthodox party, shall he need the law to be possible. you can even serve as

a minister because of criminal conviction for tax offenses. will this sort of legislation path? yes, there will be bills past that the various coalition partners demanded as before. any government his form in israel? some of it isn't is undoubtedly unpalatable. but it is really that we had 5 elections with 3 and a half years. and the goal right now is stability to be able to govern and help the people of israel and help the efforts to improve ties with the arab and muslim countries in the middle east. all right, thanks so much kil hoffman that let's continue this now. we've got joining us here in the studio model, one bichon al jazeera senior political analyst. so is this ready just business as usual for democracy? good is not and i mean it's fine for me is ready to put some positive spin on it. you know, in favor of mr. nathan. now again, you know, freedom speech especially that al jazeera. ah, but as you said, the earlier,

i mean here you have 4 of the stars of this government, right? you have one guy who was convicted and served prison sentence for tax evasion and other such are a felonies and now he's gone probably will be minister of finance. you have another guy who was bard bard from serving in these really military and i is early mr. is known for a lot of crimes. he was barred from visiting men. now he will be the minister of national security. you have this other guy who was in favor of segregation segregation between jews and palestinians. and now he is going to be in charge of civil administration in the occupied territories. and you have the prime minister himself, who was indicted on corruption fraud and other charges. and now he's will be serving a 5th them as prime minister. so you have this coalition, this marriage of convenience between

a bunch of corrupt people who the is rainy. judiciary itself has convicted, has indicted. and yet now they would be the rulers, the ultimate rules of israel, and they will be transforming the judiciary within israel. in a way that they will be in control of that judicial process. that's not a democracy. how is this going to impacts israel's relationship with the united states? she knows is a key alliance for, for israel, look, the by their administration had made clear and more than one occasion that they are not going to, ah, be explicit. and their disagreements were there. so if there are an but person by them has expressed his zionism long time ago, he said, i am christian, but yet i'm scientists. and the last 2 years have proved that the by the administration will be complicit with the israeli government secretary anthony blinking has already said, we're not going to judge the government when it's personality we're going to judge on it's policy, which is really another way of saying we're not going to do much,

but what's amazing, what's astounding is while the, by their administration keep quiet, the american jewish community is up in arms. i mean, there is major debate measure of splits within the american jewish community. with more and more saying, look, israel is heading towards fascism towards fanatical religious nationalists, government that will undo what ever liberal institutions left of the country or when we were there. thanks so much matawan. bashar gods have yes. all right for more and this you can read, of course, my once piece entitled netanyahu, the godfather of modern israeli fascism at san al jazeera dot com. the un security council is adopted. its 1st resolution on me and mar, in decades, is demanding an end to violence and urging the military johnson to release all political prisoners, including our steadly, dongs, and sushi. our diplomatic editor,
