[000:00:00;00] ah, african narratives from african bridge. spect, ifs. whatever has been done before can be done even better as long as a human being is doing it. you can do it. i knew series of short documentary by african filmmakers from mozambique and canyon. suddenly upon terra again. okay. regardless for that, we are the only a smoky team in eastern central africa giant little choppers and can yet i slide africa direct on al jazeera. ah,

this is al jazeera. ah, hello, i'm sammy say them, this is the news our live from doll ha! coming out in the next 60 minutes, 3 people were killed in the heart of paris, a gun that opens fire outside the kurdish cultural center. hopes of peace at last in the democratic republic of congo, vices from the m 23. say that will give back control of territory to a regional force. the monster winter storm bearing down on north america extreme weather is expected to disrupt travel across the u. s. and the blame lies with one man. only. the u. s. congress releases its findings in the attack on capitol hill. ah.

at least 3 people have been shot dead and several in central powers. the tank happened in the busy 10th out on the mall and the french capital police have arrested a man in the sixty's. i don't, i'm not sure. i don't know. we were walking down the street. we had gunshots. we turned around and saw people running left and right. and the in 56 minutes later we went into this alone. we saw that the rest of the got an old man. he was tall and that there were 3 wounded people in the room. all you stuff as you saw on the shooting happened in the center of the kurdish community, which is situated in the 10th district of paris, as well as outside of restaurant, which is in front of a community center and a hairdresser. as of today, we don't know the motivation of the killer, the investigation is ongoing. also, i speak to latasha boss, i joins us now live from paris. so what more is coming to light about this attack? while we have a few more details,

what we do know is that 3 people have died and several are injured. we also know that police did a roster man in his late 6069. 0 we believe they suspect that he was a shooter. he's a french citizen and we understand he's in the hospital because he was injured, although he's not critical, which is something that we thought her was the case a little bit earlier. now. the shooting took place at around $1220.00 local time, his arms around lunchtime. it is a busy part of parasol to people shopping. there are cafes and restaurants here are gone. 5 was heard by eye. witnesses in a hair dresser, outside restaurant and outside occurred. you center just behind me. there is, there was a group of kurdish people, people from paris is kind of just community who say that they feel that perhaps they were targeted because the shooting took place outside the kennedy center. however, police say they don't know what the motive for the attack is at this stage,

but what they do say is that this man, the suspect was known to 4 that was known to police. i should say he was actually charged in 2021 for trying to attack o 2 people at a migrant temporary camp in the center of paris. all right, thanks so much in touch of our for our powerful winter storm is causing holiday, travel chaos across parts of north america. the plunging temperatures is set to deliver the coldest christmas day to parts of the rest. in nearly 40 years, carl alike has the latest. the end of the year is usually a time of festive cheer, but not for these travellers. heading into the holiday weekend, thousands of flights had been cancelled as a powerful arctic sto, spreads across the u. s. in canada, hope is hard to find. we don't know what's gonna happen whether or not they have extra flights for tonight or they're saying maybe they won't even have flights tomorrow. so it's christmas,

it's like i was repaired and i saw her while the one way over her to leave here. extreme weather alerts had been issued in nearly 2 thirds of the us as temperatures plunged due to a life threatening wind chill. even the u. s. president has urged people to heed the warnings. goose not like a snow day. you know, in your kid, this is serious joe. and i team for to help communities. whether this so no point in turn, the so called bomb cyclone is set to unleash heavy blinding snow to the east in us in canada. just went to the grocery store so well had to come out for this week. and i will be stuck in house looking at the snow and numbing cold. intensified by strong winds, extends as far south as texas when newly arrived, undocumented migrants are sleeping on the streets. a number of governors have already declared states of emergencies. as the cold snap delivered the i seized

christmas in decades, car leg al jazeera, re former on says a senior fellow at the wood. well, climate research center is also a former deputy assistant secretary of state for the environment. joins us now from seneca rocks in west virginia. good to have you with us. so 1st of all, why are we seeing such severe weather this year? well, there are different kinds of severe weather ah summer related directly to climate change in our well understood, in terms of attribution. other phenomenon are, are thought co have a relationship to climate change, but the attribution is not a fully determined. i'm sitting here in seneca rocks in the early stages, this polar vortex is about to come is coming in on us. and it's very interesting, if you look at a map of temperatures and the northern hemisphere, you can see that the arctic itself right now is far above normal. whereas in the

north america here, it's really cold because the very cold air and the arctic, the vortex has been displaced. the question is why? and there's really 2 schools of thought. one is that this is clearly a climate change related phenomenon because the arctic is warming, so best. and the other school says all this is natural variability. there been an attribution debate over many these phenomenon and some of them are getting a lot clearer. i tell you big event, united states this year was hurricane in the southwest area of florida. cost billions and billions of dollars for destruction and a lot of deaf. well hurricanes are getting more intense. they're slowing down. and they, and they have rapid r, intensification as they approach to coast. so hurricane's other major hurricanes are getting substantially more destructive. that's

a climate change phenomenon. and it lets you sometimes, as you said, a lot of really interesting things that i, i want to unpack a few them before i go over my head in the head of the view is when you said it could be because of variability. what does that mean? that mean there's a possibility that this is just a natural packing of why the change because it seems quite extreme. that's ones that, that's one school of thought where i would say we don't really the school of thought is we don't know yet for sure whether how climate change in the arctic is affecting an event like this or causing it the others, i think money orders was i have, are in 40 years, isn't it the, the, the harshest winters on the back 40 or are i, i don't know that maybe. ah, you know, next week here where i am in west virginia, the temperatures are gonna be in the fifty's. so it's a short term event, whereas what's, what we know is that winters in united states are warming,

rapidly. snowfall is declining. that's the trend. that's the climate change trend this particular extreme event. ah, there's definitely people who are scientists who think they can track the climate change for the next others who are not so sure. but i'm, so hang on, does that mean that whatever the coals is basically that wintery arctic belt, the vortex is being pushed further south? that what's happening? yes, that, that's what's happening. if you i tell you, look at the website quo climate re analyzer, it shows you that today over the arctic temperatures were like 10 degrees above normal. it's hot. whereas down here that the wall, that cold air that was sitting on top, the arctic is down here over north. erica, that's when the floor techs gets displaced for various reasons that people are trying to understand. i'll say this, let me say one other word about the arctic. what's really,

really important is that the arctic is warming about 3 or 4 times faster than the globe. we're losing greenland, we're losing the small glaciers. we're losing sea ice, we're losing snow cover, and permafrost is storing, all of which are climate change related, all of which have huge consequences on this is this is sounding like that, hollywood movie isn't any day after tomorrow. thanks so much rife, pomerantz, fora, you know, ok, alerting us to this. been great talking to ok. okay, take care. plenty more still have a news our including the taliban bands. afghan women from attending university will explore the implications with united nations and void for global education. ah, the u. s. congressional panel investigating last year's 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, and who was responsible, focused mostly on the role play by the former president, alexandra buyers, reports. the january 6th committee has cemented its place 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, 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 face 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 the house in the new year, 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 live solely with the department of justice. alexander buyers, al jazeera and fisher joins us now live from washington, d. c. so on them. what does the department of justice do with the report now? well, you have to remember the already conducting their own investigation and we don't know how far they've gone. how many people they've spoken to exactly where they are in the process. now when the house committee makes a criminal referral, anyone can do that. i mean, i could go to the department of justice and make

a criminal referral as well. but clearly anything from congress is going to carry a lot more weight. plus they've got the documentation behind them. they're more than a 1000000 pages of evidence that they have an 840 page report. all of that handed over to the department of justice. but remember, when the committee is saying, we think these crimes were committed. this standard of proof is a lot less than the department of justice. they have got to prove beyond a reasonable doubt if they took it to court that they could get a conviction. and here's another big thing to remember. no president in the united states has ever been charged with a crime that people will think, wasn't nixon? no, he wasn't. there are plenty of possible roam doings in the past, but no one's ever been charged. so if the department of justice makes a decision that is going to charge donald trump, it is like the old phrase, if you're in the king, you're better not miss their case,

would have to be absolutely air tight to stop any accusations that the prosecution was a partisan prosecution, driven by the january 6 committee. we'll leave that thanks so much. alan fisher. well, claire finkelstein is faculty director of the center for ethics and the rule of law at the university of pennsylvania joined us now by skype from philadelphia. good to have you with us. so looking out the details of this report, which have come out, does it change anything in terms of the likelihood that donald trump may go to jail? i think it does the granularity of the details in this report and then the additional transcripts that were released will be very important for the special counsel to to see that will be evidence that he may or may not have collected himself the testimony, for example,

of cassidy hutchinson that came out in the additional transcripts is really extraordinary. the way that the, the president and a lawyer working for the president tried to press her to lie to congress. that's witness tampering makes out a very good case of witness tampering. and that'll be grist for the mill of the special council who will be investigating not only the events of january 6, but the trump onto roches attempt to influence the course of the election. but before and after, there's also a recommendation in this report to bar those involved in the journey 6 attacks from ever holding public office is, you know, how is that going to impact not only donald trump but team trump? well, the 14th amendment,

section 3 of the u. s. constitution says that any one who has previously held public office and who has committed insurrection against the united states cannot hold public office again. it is one of the recommendations of this committee that is consistent with its finding that donald trump attempted to engage in insurrection and attempted to get others to engage an insurrection. ah, that he ought not to hold office. the difficult thing about the 14th amendment, section 3 is it doesn't say what kind of determination of insurrection would count to officially bar an individual from holding office. again, certainly a conviction would do that. and so if the justice department picks this recommendation up and ends up charging and ultimately convicting donald trump of insurrection,

he will not be able to hold public office. but short of that we don't know. and because courts have never had to determine whether or not a mere committee determination could play that same role. so overall, where does this leave the political support for donald trump given that it does seem after those mid term elections like he's been weakened? i think he has the committee's report is so detailed and so thorough i and while i haven't read the entire thing because it just dropped last night late last night from what i can see, the report of so readable and accessible that it should be possible for the american people and one way shape or form to actually absorb it and to pick up on the details and to get a picture of an administration that really functions

a bit like the mafia. a little bit like of mom bosses in i intimidating witnesses and pushing for their result in removing individuals who would not tow the line. i attempting to replace a 1st replacing the attorney general than the acting attorney general. i'm attempting to put in place someone to run the justice department who was back the big lie with regard to the election. it starts to paint a picture that the american people can't screen out. i and call all of it. you know, partisan politics. all right, thank you so much for your analysis. claire finkelstein, thank you. damn 23 arm group in the democratic republic of congo says, is withdrawing from some territory as a good will gesture the fight to save our give up a position in the northeast city of cuba to

particularly the u. k. and france. so that silent on this issue in recent months, rwanda depends on a military aid from western countries. and the campaign is say, it simply need the international community to way in to stop one day from its military aggression. now, just 4 days ago, after months of silence from which is the key ally of rwanda and a military partner from finally said that one that back in $23.00 in the run the should stop. and then just days later, we seeing this, you turn on the ground with them 23, pulling back from territory that is taken in recent weeks. china's claim that it has no reports of new cove at 19 fatalities is being disputed. that's off the video was released, showing dozens of body bags piled up at a funeral. paula in chung ching, in the south west. china recently change its definition of coven death,

limiting it to those caused by pneumonia and response to the failure. this hospital lobby in chung ching was converted into a make shift cobra 19 ward. another room at the facility is piled with patients on intravenous strips. cases arising in china off the government began easing restrictions this month following a wave of protest. oksana physic is from university college random. 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 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 this tidal wave of cobit 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 debts. and we're seeing sort of the, almost the consequences that success now because there are many people that will be experiencing who did 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 of die from cove it as a result of not just this way, but the consequent waves that will emerge from the current outbreak. india is gearing up for a possible surgeon. crown of virus infections is cases spread across china. no flights between the 2 countries have been suspended, but the government has asked health officials to step up surveillance. india has reported 44000000 cases to date. the 2nd highest in the world of them with our

reports from new delhi. it's the holiday season, and it's back in full swing. for the 1st time since the pandemic began, but the looming threat of another croon of ice outbreak could spoil the festive spirit faster for the other dung guardian. i think our lives are more precious than the festivities we have to prioritize done. it all comes down to people's awareness . india had rollback most restrictions after the rate of infection flowed in the past few months. most people have software in math, even in carter places such as markets. but the outbreak in china and i've taken several other countries, has prompted me as another wave could be devastating for an undeserved health care system and is struggling economy. some pandemic protocols have returned. travelers need to be fully vaccinated against cove 19, and thomas screenings will take place at airports. the government says about 2 percent of international travelers are being tested upon arrival, and some tourist attractions are testing visitors before they enter.

parliamentarians are wearing masks and encouraging people to do the same, cannot accost aiden southern india has made feast coverings, compulsory indoors. i don't, bobby, we have asked states to become more vigilant and increased genome sequencing of all positive cases. if we have a new variant in india, we can identified in advance because of the festive season and new year. we have asked this to ask people to use masks and sanitizers and encourage social distancing. there's also renewed focus on vaccines. why 90 percent of eligible people are fully vaccinated against forward 19? only a quarter have received a booster shot epidemiologist, the immunization is crucial to managing a virus that he had to stay. i'm not thinking you need to panic it off because the situation in india is very different from that. in china and india, we have had exposure to the wireless in various forms, including omicron in january this year. and we have quite

a fair amount of immunity because of exposure to different otherwise. while the government is often people not to panic, it's preparing more guidelines for the holiday season. several hospitals nationwide will conduct drills next week to ensure they're ready to handle an influx of patients should the need arise for new missile al jazeera new delhi. now 1000 board of false workers are on strike across the u. k. they've down tools a day after ambulance drivers and nurses took symbol action. beautiful staff demanding a 10 percent pay increase. inflation in the u. k. is currently at 10.7 percent poll brennan has moved from london heathrow airport. the board of force officers who over walking out over 80 days over this christmas period are the people who essentially check your passports when you arrive in the u. k. at arrivals on here at he throw the number of flights that we're talking about somewhere in the region

apparently trying to keep herself warm after heating had gone out at her residence, apparently dying of carbon dioxide poisoning in her kite o, we are also hearing of trains or connecting to as capitals ha, portal has been suspended. as weather authorities are warning up to another meter of snow through saturday morning and some parts, tens of thousands of people have been displaced by flooding after heavy monsoon. running the militia, the northern states of kelantan and federal gal who were the worst hit, landslides in floods of submerged roads, bridges, houses, and calls emergency services say at least 5 people have been killed. florence lewis has more on how the flags are faxing people in the north wherein a village invested into and gone new state, one of the worst effected areas. nouns, the floods here, people say it was the worst in living memory. waters rose quickly,

people barely had time to escape and get to relief centers. the river, not far from the village and heavy rains over the weekend, had caused the river to burst its banks. you can see the extent of the damage caused by flood waters. houses completely destroyed. zinc roofs lie on the ground. trees have been up rooted, water receded several days ago. so people have been able to return to begin the process of cleaning up. but rebuilding is going to take a lot longer, weeks, months, even now people here say they have received some aid from volunteers and also from the government. but it's still a long and difficult road ahead to replace what they've lost. women in afghanistan are protesting against the new policy that bands them from university is the latest restriction imposed by the taliban government since to return to power. last year. finter monahan has more. ah,

these protesters say they're being punished for wanting an education. their demand is simple, a woman's right to go to university, but they say open defiance of the taliban government is increasingly putting them at risk. so could mature mcgee, this is more even the tele been turned out demonstrations into violence. the girls were beaten and ripped. we ran away. some girls were arrested. i don't know what will happen. on tuesday, the taliban band, women from higher education, blocked from entering campus. students are coming to terms with a very different future than the one they imagined soccer. maybe more because it's training center, as i hope. why can we girls to we were full of hope and came here to learn. it is really a pity the talent. i've taken all our hopes in the thought of all my then and the taliban came today. they beat us and kicked us out of the training center and said

that you no longer had the right to study more. we are in a very bad situation. the girls here, they've lost their spirit. the government says women's faculties weren't following their interpretation of islamic law. it says the policy was an internal matter and warrant foreign powers not to interfere well about the move has been widely condemned below un global education envoy gordon brown said the world can't stay silent in the face of discrimination. who, yes, turkey is foreign minister said the band with an his luck and inhumane. the taliban has imposed growing restrictions on women's freedoms since they return to power in 2021. despite the risk of reprisals, some are still pushing back warning that the potential of a generation could be lost since martin al jazeera how the taliban returned to power enough can stand in august 2021. since then they've

eroded the right to education for millions of women and girls. that's despite saying this would not happen. the 1st step was banning girls from attending secondary school. then they were stopped from going to primary school, taught yvonne has now announced that no band women from attending university enough canis that there's also been blocked from working as teachers at universities are gone. brown is the united nation special envoy for global education, and the former u. k. prime minister joined us now from scotland. good to have you with us so. so 1st of all, what will the restriction exclusion of women and girls from education wallet mean for them? for their lives and for wider afghan society now. but this is one of the saddest days for all those concerned about women's rights and girls rights. and the afghan girls and women are bearing the biggest button in this struggle to persuade people

that girls and women have an equal right to education and to other amenities. and we've seen this, as you said, it's a women and girls not going to school, not going to university, not able to teach at university, not doing public sector job is being banned from many subjects that are taught already. and of course, what it means is that they are denied opportunity. what it means is that i've kind of stand will not be training doctors and teachers and researches and scientists, and afghans economy will suffer in the long run. but in the short run, it means girls who are getting used to the idea of for the taliban to that there would be education for all of them who were at school and know what it's like to be independent thinkers. who feel that oppression is something that they had got rid of around 2001 at no feel that they are facing a life. where are they going to leave the country if they could?

i would have got to submit to these rules. and it's not surprising that there are protests, not just from girls and women, but from men as well. because this is not the true afghanistan, the true canister is a country where they support education. and it's a country where most people believe that islamic law is something that values, teaching, education, knowledge information. and of course, that is true of all the countries, whether or a majority of muslims in the rest of the world except afghanistan. in an opinion piece, he wrote for a british newspaper, the guardian, you pointed out that very point. the basic muslim tax encourage the education of almost them including women. that even the most conservative countries like sadie, have a higher rate of female enrollment universities than countries like mexico, brazil, and china and india and so on. why? what is the solution that why is that kind of stand under the top on such an aberration to the norm in the muslim world and what can be done about it?

it does seem to be the misreading of islamic teaching by a group of clerics based in kandahar. and the way that we can deal with this is for all our leaders in muslim countries to protest and to say is let me know, does not require this. we do educate our girls and women, and we're not going to work with enough canister, and that fails at to provide equal opportunities for girls and women in the future . you've already seen statements from the saudi foreign ministry, from guitars, foreign ministry, and they are intermediaries between the us and, and the taliban. and have done very well in doing that on many occasions. but they're saying and this band. and so to you e. i where the nation, mr. brown, i think we've heard several was the majority countries, as you've explained, criticize the thought of on the how much leverage does the international community

have at this point over the taliban, off the, you know, the trouble history of, of foreign intervention and invasions. and that, that dynamic doesn't seem to have left the international community with much influence over the taliban. now, yes, yes, but i do understand why it's difficult for a miracle or perhaps the rest of europe. job influence over the taliban government at the stage. but i know that within the government, within the education ministry, there is a desire that girls go to school and women go to university. and they're being over ruled at this stage by a number of religious clerics. and i think religious clerics and other countries where the islamic religion is practiced, i could make a difference here by saying this is not in line with islamic law to ban girls from school and women from university. and i think the foreign ministries and the leaders of guitar,

u e. saudi arabia who have ability within the afghanistan population, they can have some influence at because this is an erotic policy on occasions. they have said that they will put girls back into school, but it hasn't yet happened. a few weeks ago, they said that girls could take the exams to prepare for university, another, telling them they can't go to university. so there is a balance of opinion within the regime and within the authorities in afghanistan. and i think we could shift that balance with the pressure that would come from muslim clerics who will command an audience in the country and from the governments in the gulf states, in particular, who have been working on occasion with the afghanistan people. and who command a lot of respect and authority there. so i think this is going to be sold by people within the muslim world. pressing the afghans to persuade them that it is counterproductive in the long run to deny girls and women education,

they're making their economy unworkable in future years. if they can't train the engineers, the scientist, the doctors, and the teachers, and again and again, it lies against the law. right. thank you so much, gordon brown, that feel time. thank you. let's go back to paris, found get more information on that. deadly shooting. hash amount that is that for us? natasha. we things are getting pretty heated a month ago. how things looking now a hooker and a safer position. thank all right, natasha. you can hear me looking at life pictures. looks like a lot of young people, obviously quite disturbed. walking around in the french capital,
