1:04 pm
it just seemed that's a great deal of pressure being exerted on rwanda with the french and the u. s. weighing in on their analysis thing that could god, he should stop supporting and 23. is this a factor in the withdrawal because it seems that the heat is all president paul cook. army yes. one more month. the weekend because of the coming from different government. but we know from the last 3 weeks, so spread out from the us government by growth. so we hope that. 7 also because of these reports, when the advent from from the us show that there is
1:05 pm
good so that there is a bit you yes. so i think that the only thing that, that my fresh job, it shows it's creating that doesn't get you free is willing now to make, i just do this. you get these guys in days of it. how do you assess than the piece towards being broke? they don't go around right now. they do seem to be making headway, don't they? more than any other sort of conversation that's been had around this issue in the years that have passed. yeah, i. ringback in some way and then there we go. was they were asking was m just asking him
1:06 pm
discussion. so why did it get that's why so that those are the other issues. we are not sure that. ringback we just, we broke down, bless you still keep on by mark blade. when you do that for the last couple of months. indeed, it's very fluid situation. so, you know, let's just reagan the very joining us from guy, but thanks for joining us on al jazeera. thank you so much. i know the congressional panel investigating masters capitol hill attack has released its final report, declaring the blame lies with one man. donald trump, the hearings into how the insurrection on january the 6th happened on who was responsible focus mostly on the role played by the former president, alexandra by as reports to record. the january 6th committee has cemented its place
1:07 pm
in the history books, the combination of 18 months of work, more than 1000, witness testimonies, and more than a 1000000 pages of evidence summarized in an 845 page report. this is uncharted territory or the united states for the department of justice to actually weigh whether or not to break charges against donald trump. the report details how then president donald trump carried out a plan to overturn the 2020 presidential election result from knowingly disseminating false information. to pressuring the vice president, members of congress and local and federal officials, he failed then summoned a mob of his supporters to washington and did nothing to stop them as they attacked the capital for more than 3 hours. committee members were unanimous in their conclusion. one man cause the january 6th attack donald trump,
1:08 pm
and they've made clear he must be held accountable. earlier this week, they formerly accused the former president of inciting insurrection and other crimes, and recommended he faced criminal prosecution. the justice department is conducting its own investigation and the committee hopes its findings will be a roadmap for the special council heading that process. trump has dismissed what he says are faked charges as an attempt to block his white house run into years. time . analysts say it's a significant moment for us politics. this is unprecedented. we're talking about a former us president and also a candidate for the president of the united states in 2024. even though this is non binding. this certainly puts pressure on the justice department to actually weigh this evidence against the former president. republicans will take control of congress in the new year,
1:09 pm
almost certainly putting an end to any further congressional investigations into the insurrection. now ensuring accountability for the attack and the decision to press charges lies solely with the department of justice. alexandra buyers, al jazeera, vladimir putin, his accuse washington, the fighting and indirect war against russia and ukraine is in ukrainian soldiers instead of its own. while the russian president also dismissed the patriot missile defense system pledged by washington dc because it's a pity for the regarding patriot missiles. it's a relatively old system. it doesn't work as well as our s 300. nonetheless, those who confronting us say this is a defensive weapon. well, ok, but they will always be an antidote. so the people who are doing this are doing it in vain. it's just prolonging in the complex, that's all. while it fits charles trumpet, correspondent in key, let's just talk about this air defense system and how the capital is actually
1:10 pm
preparing to defend itself over this winter period. was very interesting yesterday. so we were out filming as part of the story that we're building on the kind of a defense efforts ukrainians are making around cave and the wider country. and what we saw was an incredible level of organization. and it's huge. yes. but certainly a multi layered system, we will give an access to what the ukrainians describe as mobile defense systems. and what struck us the most was the age of some of the weapons that they were using . mainly heavy machine guns, some bolted onto the back of trucks. this particular unit was basically part. so they say of a wider network and on receiving alerts of an imminent attack by some of these, these kind of calls he drones and cruise missiles, then they'd be able to track these drones, approaching,
1:11 pm
at least not the crews. there's no way that i have a machine gun can take it down a cruise missile to follow these drones and take them down. we know that the ukraine is, have been very successful by and large intersecting many of these chemicals, drones and cruise missiles. but we also know that he's had these bombardments have had a devastating attack results, consequences on the kind of energy infrastructure here, there are millions of people still across the cave region and the wider country who are enduring rolling blackouts and heating problems. because the storage is, cannot get electricity to them on a 24 hour basis. and in the last 24 hours or so, ukraine's energy minister has said that they're not going to be able to restore the full capacity of for working order of ukraine's electrical grid system until the summer. and we are fully expecting more attacks by the russians targeting this
1:12 pm
infrastructure. now of course, as we know, that have been big contributions, more contributions by western countries in recent recent days and weeks, most notably from the americans to try and bolster these a defenses. when in fact those kind of systems will arrive and of course the complexity of training ukrainians to use them it's, it's debatable and it's a big question as to when they are going to be ready to be use. so the situation here is still in crisis mode, as i say with a prospect anytime of more tags, of course is one of the many concerns that keith has the name and charles and just bring us up to speed on what we know in terms of what's going on around back, move to the moment. yes. so that city buck, mood, a city that the ukrainians now a cooling a meat grinder because of the intensity of the fighting the incredible war of
1:13 pm
treaty of attrition. we know that buck moved is being forward over intensely for the last few months. we also know that the russians have made very little gains there, but certainly the ukrainian military authority to say that on a daily basis, they're getting probing attacks from the russians from the north and the south of mood as they try and in circle the city. we seen incredible footage of close, close combat st by street fighting trench warfare. we know that the russians are using what's hillary, they're using heavy motors and as strikes in order to try and push forward in the city. the reason why is important is because ministry analysts will tell you that it would give russians a clear path to attacking the 2 largest cities still in ukrainian control in the don't it's region those cities of criminals and sla janski's. it's safe to say though that since those big games were made by the ukrainians and the
1:14 pm
counter offensive in september. so it has reached a bit of a stalemate in that area. and of course, that comes at a time when you crane in military establishment, very concerned about what they describe as a potential when offensive being planned by russia. just some, some, some information also from an area along the dorm nets and the guns regional borders. that's north of that city of buff. this is an area that we visited a couple of months ago. a town called towards gay, which was a new front line in that area, close to a town called camina, which the russians control. now the ukrainians took control of tools, guys to say a couple of months ago. the crime in storage is now claiming that they have liberated a couple more villages, north of tools k. so we also know that intense fighting along the borders of don't ask and new guns. charles struck the towards the in key. thanks, charles. well,
1:15 pm
the head of the russian private military company, the wagner group, has dismissed us report that its received a north korean arm shipment. gang has also denied sending the weapons, but us national security spokesmen. john kirby says intelligent shows at north korea and rockets and missiles into russia for use by the mercenaries in ukraine. north korean officials have said publicly that they would not support russia's war and ukraine, and yet here they are delivering arms to wagner, indirect violations of un security of un security council resolutions. and we're going to raise these violations with the security council alongside of our allies and partners. and of course, we condemn north korea's actions. and we urge north korea to cease these delivers delivers to wagner immediately rather than jordan has more from washington d. c. the white house did confirm on thursday that north korea did sell weapons to the wall near group of which is essentially
1:16 pm
a private russian military operation, acting on behalf of the government and moscow inside the ukraine. the usaa is very, very angry about this development. there are plants at the un security council to bring the matter up because it does represent a violation of un security council resolutions involving north korea's behavior on the world stage. as well as out trying to bring up new concerns about the behavior of iran, which has also been providing military support, particularly in the form of drones to russia as it continues its invasion of ukraine. the position here at the state department is that tom, north korea needs to be held to account. but beyond an extensive us sanctions, regime officials here don't want to get into any more specifics about what else could be done to try to curb the behavior of pyongyang in this
1:17 pm

from the table top us arsenal had our b premier league restart. that's all coming up later in the, our ah hospitals in southwestern china or was that they're overwhelmed with cove at 19 patience as infections rise. this hospital lobby in john king has been converted into a makeshift covey. 19 ward, under the roof of the facility is filled with patience on ivy drips cases. the surgeon, china after the government began easing restrictions this month. following a wave of protests, asada pisec is from the university college london. she says, china is vulnerable to a major outbreak. there is an immunity gap due to the 0 cover policy, which means that the majority of the population has not yet been exposed. and we do
1:19 pm
have an elderly population that been backing hesitant and it's been difficult to get the home grown vaccine available to this population. so those 2 factors mean that over 60 percent of the population can be hit in the next 90 days. and it's going to be very difficult to combat the tidal wave of covered 19 in the wake of what has been really a 3 years of quite severe cubic restriction. but some described as draconian, but it did in fact prevent many deaths. and we're seeing sort of the, almost the consequences that success now because there are many people that will be experiencing who would for the 1st time. so i think that there's also an issue here that we could see not, not just myself, but other models predict that over 1000000 people. i could end up dying from cove it as a result of not just this way, but the consequent waves that will emerge from the current outbreak. india is
1:20 pm
randomly testing international travelers, travelers full, coven, 19 as they arrive at his add ports. health officials are looking for new variance of creative iris. bobby metal has moved from new delhi. the message from the government is clear, precaution is better than kill. and also the alarming reports of the outbreak in china as well as the optic in cases and several other countries. the government is stepping up precautions. it has also all states to be on an alert. now, many of these measures are pretty standard. we seen them through the course of the pandemic. so regarding air travel, there is no flight band, but about 2 percent of all incoming international travelers are being tested at random at airports. the government is also specifically tracking the b s 7 very, and that's fueling the outbreak in china and has all states to send positive samples for sequencing. now there is no mass monday net nationally,
1:21 pm
but the state of karnataka has now reinstated a mass monday indoors. there's also a renewed focus on vaccination now. 90 percent, almost all of the legible population in india has received both doses, but only a quarter of those people have taken the books and those are the government is encouraging people to get that 3rd or 4th dose. now, since the beginning of the pandemic, india has reported the 2nd highest number of over 900 cases. but over the last few months, there has been a steady decline. this morning. number showed that overnight in the recorded fewer than 200 cases. but that all fears of what another such could do. tens of thousands of people have been displaced by flooding in malaysia after days of heavy monsoon reign. the northern states of clanton and having god, it also was tit landslides and floods of submerged roads, bridges,

1:23 pm

1:25 pm
travel season of the year. thousands of flights have been canceled, hired stress hungry, just hopeless, honestly, the national weather service is calling this storm a once in a generation type of event for much of america, a white christmas, but the coldest one, it's been in for decades. patty call hain al jazeera. let's get more of this while we're the present a car leg and it seems the worst is yet to come. i think. yes, exactly, us president joe biden was not kidding when he said it's going to get very serious . now we want warnings out for about 2 thirds of the u. s. stretching from coast to coast border to border, and that's as that front has pushed its way through. it's now a deepening area of low pressure. it's still going to bring the worst of that, whether to the northeast and eastern areas of canada. now behind it, we've had this arctic last blow in dropping temperatures in record time for places like denver. now that trend is going to continue as that plunges its way further
1:26 pm
south. now might not be minus $55.00 degrees celsius in parts of the planes would certainly going to feel like that. and that's thanks to the life threatening wind chill if skin is exposed to that could cause frost bite in under 10 minutes and a cold air. continuing down to the south, we could see minus 10 degrees celsius in parts of florida. now the worst of the winter weather is still to come for parts of the great lakes, as well as the scenario of canada and even the eastern seaboard as that system strengthens into the equivalent of a category to her. again, we're talking damaging when snow blizzards and even some flooding rains as well as a flash feet freeze for places like new york states under a state of emergency, the temperature dipping right down from new york city minus 6 degrees there. it's gonna be very cold, even if there is some recovery for the likes of places like florida. it's gonna be the cold as christmas in a very long time. you know, advice,

1:31 pm
year's attack on the u. s. capital has released its final report recommending that dull trump be criminally charged. it says the former president, engaged in a conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 election russian private military company. the via, the group has dismissed report that it received a north korean army shipment. the us national security council says pyongyang sent rockets and missiles for use by mercenaries in ukraine. thousands of board of force staff are on strike in the united kingdom. a few days after similar action was taken by ambulance drivers and nurses that demanding a 10 percent pay increase in line with you k inflation, which is currently at 10.7 percent. let's get more this poll brendan, our correspondence joins us outside london heathrow airport, solid busiest airport in the world, and how bad will a disruption b, where you are,
1:32 pm
especially at this very important time in the year will aid the border force officers who over walking out over 8 days over this christmas period, are the people who essentially check your pat sports when you arrive in the u. k. at arrivals here at heathrow. the number of flights that we're talking about somewhere in the region of $900000.00 passengers, would be arriving at heathrow during that period. in total, it's been estimated that some nearly $9000.00 flights and all the airports that are affected over this 8 day period. and that would amount to around $1700000.00 passengers. who will find that when they do land, they're facing big cues to actually get out through arrival through passport control, and that's wards that baggage, reclaim. it's just the latest in a series of strikes in private and public sector workers. as you mentioned, border force have been told by the government that public sector employees and
1:33 pm
they've been told by the government they will get to percent as a pay rise on board. of course, not happy about that. inflation running a 10 percent as far as the mitigation efforts that border force executives are putting into place well, the executives are saying that safety and security is non negotiable. robust plans are in place that talking about drafting in members of the military and volunteer staff. people though, should be prepared for disruption, is the warning from border force chiefs is going to last 8 days and it's going to be quite significant. pull in the why the context for international views, the u. k is being hit by a number of strikes as we've just mentioned. it seems to be one after the other one industry after the other as well. yes. indeed. it's both private sector and public sector. i think the public sector in particular are feeling particularly puts upon that has been low wage growth in the u. k. in
1:34 pm
the past decade. in fact, more than a decade. and in the last year, as inflation as prices have gone up so dramatically quickly, wage wages have not kept up with that increase. there's what's called a cost of living at crisis here in the u. k. and people are seeing that income falling further and further behind them to work even harder to maintain just just to tread water on. it's going across sectors, it's, it's the railway we're cuz we're probably the 1st out of the gates launching best try catch in during the summer. and, but we've also seen as you say, nurses, ambulance drivers, transport workers. now the board of force and nurses up, well supported by the public. and frankly, i think one of the crucial aspects will be what public sentiment will public opinion is towards the strike. as at the moment, a majority of people seem to support the strike as there is the belief that something that that pay rises are justified. and but as disruption continues,
1:35 pm
it's going to be interesting to see how that public support for the strike is holds up. over in force there at heathrow, airport. thanks very much pull. well will, hatton is the president of the academy of social sciences enjoys. we now live from london, mr. in good to have you on the program. and just to put your parents in context for us here and al jazeera, you wrote a very incisive piece, a one of the united kingdom's, a for most major newspapers say, you know, you know your stuff, and our viewers should know that as well. so can i just begin with the warning signs of price is going up, has been evident as breaks it was implemented on the 31st of january, 2020, that kind of situation in the u. k. and what it's facing right now be blamed on the ukraine war, rising fuel prices, the cost of living strikes as the government would have us believe there, despite instability also in the pm's office. well, i mean, the, it is obvious that the ukraine war and the rising energy prices that have fallen
1:36 pm
from it rather than price it in the u. k. as they have across the world immunization. i mean, to deny that would be kind of crazed. but the m in that is overlaid upon profound weaknesses that are self inflicted and are, you know, it's just as 30 which began in 2010 and with the incoming parish in government is going to slow burn. you can, can, you can cut cap or investment and you can squeeze the public sector in any country for a year or 2 or 3 without it having notable impact. but when you do it for more than a decade, ah, it starts to have the kind of follow i described in my garage ago in sunday, which by the way, it's not only me. i mean, if you've read it, it's an international program. this is you read the fragile times, you'll see there's a very powerful piece, kind of going beyond what i was saying. ah, on sunday i'm just putting together the statistics on investment. ah, ah,
1:37 pm
they're just at the bottom of international li table and have been and has consequences. everything has consequences on and the life expectancy are which is stagnating and real wages, which is which are stagnating for now for a 12 years even longer. and in the public sector, it's very acute and the strikes at the country is experiencing our, our, you know, a people feel cornered and they feel, i got no shit to do what they're doing well. and so there we are. it is a jump in that i look if you like that if i can just jump in there, you say that regular from austerity, from 2010 successive conservative government and the coalition. while at that time, we're obsessed with tax cuts. those tax cuts came at a cost when it came to public service areas such as the end $8.00 chairs. and it said that they were making irrational decisions. what did, what do you mean by that? well, i mean the, the they could have been rational. if at the
1:38 pm
same time and you ah, kind of understood that they were knock on consequences. i mean, nothing is there's no such thing as a free lunch. i mean what the, the current government and from 2010. ready onward the not only squeeze in a capital expenditure in the health service in education and other parts of the public sector. it also sprees wages, but it was also very keen and to cut taxes when it cut corporation tax. it, it can increase personal outs, is current to take you out of the income tax kind of, ah, paying income tax. and that was all meant to kind of shrink the state air and create incentives which would create economic growth. but actually in a growth kept falling and the it reached its combination with bricks it, which was a kind of, ah, the same kind of thinking, you know, we, we, if we, if we get out of your opinion, you will get out of all those burtons for expensive regulations and we can go even
1:39 pm
further in this direction, or would we try to go in, in a right up until we leave your opinions. but actually what you end up with is you end up with the economy smaller, blessed fiscal fire power. and because you haven't got the tax base aah! because your economy is shrinking or not growing as fast as it would otherwise have done. and you end up childhood pose dramatic cuts in living standards on people like nurses, we nurses. ah, if i were to accept the current pair of your fo, which has been on, on the table for the british government and they're a real living standards will be at 121314 percent lower than they were and 1010. and it's gina, people just don't do people car fight back with the only tool they have, which is to withdraw their labor. indeed, it can either ask you than what your opinion is of, of public opinion in the u. k. right now, because a while the government thing that they are justifying that position in only offering so much and as a public sector pay increases, you have the public at large taking government ministers to task baki was taken to
1:40 pm
