city earlier. ah, plays a volunteer against people in the area in shooting happened near a kurdish cultural center. man in his sixties has been arrested. police have revealed he was previously investigated for a racially motivated attack. french interior minister gerard domination has visited the scene. he says, the suspect was clearly targeting foreigners and hippa, sure it is not certain that the killer wanted to assassinate these people. and there is little doubt that he wanted to assassinate people here in paris and did so specifically to target kurdish people. he was clearly targeting foreigners, we need to know from the judicial inquiry presided over by the public prosecutor whether it was specifically for the kurds. but for the moment that there is no evidence to show that the civil i speak to natasha butler, whose lie for us in paris. so what's the situation now on the streets?

was only a lot quieter than it was earlier. people are pretty much moving away from the scene, all those protest, the shops and cafes of reopened on that street. there are still people around the pause joined to see what might happen. there were dozens of protesters ashore while ago gathered in this area near without shooting took place a little bit earlier today, around lunchtime, in paris, paris time. the shooting took place outside a kurdish community center restaurant and addresses and what the protesters were saying that they felt that the attacker, the shooter, was targeting them, targeting their community. now, as you heard that the french interior minister said that it seems that the target for the shooter was to was foreigners. he said, but not necessarily. the courage is community itself. the motivation for the attack

is still unknown. that is what the french interior minister has said at this stage, but nevertheless, what we do know is that 3 people have died and several people are injured. any more new details emerging about the suspect, who, according to authorities, did have some kind of history. now what we know about the suspect is he is a frenchman. he is a 69 years old and he was known to police. he wasn't known to the intelligence of says he was known to police and in 2021. he was charged with braces, violence for trying to carry out an attack on some migrants in a camp in the center of the city. so that's what we've been told by paris prosecutors. that is why also i'm some authorities to said it is possible that this

was a racially motivated attackers. certainly thought with the inference from the french interior minister was whether or not it was the could you community be specifically with thompson? well that hasn't yet been confirmed 69 year old, a frenchman that used to be trained. dr. lake is behind the talk. all right, thank you so much. tasha bosco, that the m 23 om group in the democratic republic of congo says its withdrawing from some territory as a goodwill gesture. find to say they'll give up a position in the northeast regional peace talks, commission b, m. 23 is widely understood to be backed by wonder and allegation kigali denies. east african leaders have been pushing for an end to the conflict that forced hundreds of thousands of people from their home since october. the un peacekeeping mission in the d. r. c is the biggest in the world. yet it's been unable to prevent attacks by om groups. the m 23 is one of more than a 100,

a relationship to climate change. but the attribution is not a fully determined. i'm sitting here in some iraq's, in the early stages. this polar vortex is about to cook is coming in on us. and it's very interesting if you look at a map of temperatures in 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 in the arctic before text 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 vast and the other schools as well. this is natural variability. there's been an attribution debate over many of these phenomenon and some of them are getting a lot clearer. so it's a short term event, whereas what's, what we know is that winters in united states are warming rapidly,

slow fall is declining. that's the trend. that's the climate change trend this particular extreme event. ah, there's definitely people scientists who think they can track the climate change next. others are not so sure. at least 8 people have died in heavy snow storms in northwest in japan. the powerful weather system started on saturday. so drifts have caused traffic. calles, disruptive railway serves is and cut power that thousands of homes full cost as are expecting more severe weather in the coming days. in it's kim is following developments from south korea's capital sol. a very dire story. at least 8 people. 8 deaths had been attributed to weather related conditions. many of them, the elderly who were trying to plough tons of snow that had fallen over the past week. there was one particular story that came through early on this week. when in

areas of south africa, some fierce thunderstorms, pulling into the likes of the su too, as well as s, we're teeny, certainly by sunday, missouri coming in at 23 degrees and you can see that heavy ran intensifying in the east of south africa. suddenly by sunday, that sure weather update. ah ah ah

ah ah. all come back, you're watching al jazeera tom to recap all had lives. here, police confront, protest is in paris on, through a gun, been killed, 3 people outside the kurdish cultural center. suspect has been arrested. he was also detained. last year, after attacking a migrant center in french, kept them $23.00 armed group in the democratic republic of congo. says it's withdrawing from some territories, goodwill gesture. find to say they'll give up a position in the northeast to a regional piece towards commission. a severe winter storm has hit the united states. the national weather service says temperatures of the coldest recorded in

full decades. the conditions are disrupting holiday travel for millions of people. the u. s. congressional panel investigating last is capitol hill attack is released its final report, declaring the blame lies with one man, donald trump, the hearings in to how the insurrection on january, the 6th happened, and who was responsible, focus mostly on the role played by the former president, alexandro bias that reports now record the january 6th committee has cemented its place in the history books, the combination of 18 months of work more than $1000.00, 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 clare finkelstein is faculty director of the center for ethics and the rule of law, the university of pennsylvania. she says, a criminal conviction would be a major blow to donald trump's chances of reclaiming the presidency. the 14th

amendment, section 3 of the us constitution says that anyone 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 in insurrection 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 a 1000 board, the force workers are on strike across the u. k. they've down tools a few days after ambulance drivers. nurses took similar action for the full staff are demanding a 10 percent pay increase. inflation in the u. k is currently at 10.7 percent coal brennan has more from london heathrow airport. the broader 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. and here at he throw the number of flights i were 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 at 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 towards the baggage reclaim. it's just the latest in a series of strikes in private and public sector workers bought a force had been told by the government that public sector employees. and they've been told by the government they, 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 at the 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 board of force chiefs is going to last 8 days and it's going to

be quite significant. oh, it's been a tough year for consumers in so kia inflation has climbed to the highest level since president rodge of ty. bowdoin took off his nearly 20 years ago. critic, se policies focused on economic expansion and cheap cravat instead of stability and government officials, blame russia's invasion of ukraine. so them causal. lou explains how inflation is affecting people in mr. bull. 16 year old sammy john has been training as a mechanic atlas shop in a stumbled for a few months. 3 years ago, his parents divorce his mother was forced to find a job to support him. but a winter kids inflation skyrocketed here decided to drop out of school love to live alone, even if you have 2 people early minimum, which salaries and life is difficult for that household and little i give myself to my family with her. i also work as a photographer over the weekend. listen,

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 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 a 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. tens of thousands of people have been displaced by flooding in malaysia off the days of heavy monsoon, rain land slides and floods of submerged roads, bridges, houses, and cars. emergency services say at least 5 people have been killed. far as louis reports from the northeast and telling, gonna state on the worst hits regions. these steps are all that left of
