9:02 pm
the city earlier. ah, police of fighting against the people in the area and shooting. hampton, near a kurdish cultural center, a man in the sixty's has been arrested. police had revealed, he was previously investigated for a racially motivated attack. the french interior minister is visited the same. he says, the suspect was clearly targeting foreigners in new york. 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 talk to kurdish people. and 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 could. but for the moment that there is no evidence to show that i speak to natasha battle as she joins us now. from paris have com return to the streets. now natasha
9:03 pm
with was an air long comma. hey, in this district of paris where that shooting took place and then those subsequent protests. but i don't, if you can see behind me, there are still police officers on stand by just to make sure the things remain that way. but the shops of reopened. people are back in the cafes and on the terraces. but a little bit early, of course it looked very different because there were demonstrates is from paris is curtis community. many of them had come here to protest because they felt that, that shooting the happened earlier today was specifically targeting them. a man who's 69 years old, he was arrested by police open to a fire in an area where there's a kurdish community center, a restaurant. and i address is what we knows at least 3 people died and many others have been injured. i should say several others have been injured. now the french present moto macros actually come out at a while ago and in
9:04 pm
a tweet. he said that this was an odious attack. against o codes in france is interior minister zara demo who was here a little while earlier was a little bit more cautious with his words. he said that this was clearly an attack against foreigners, but he said it wasn't yet clear whether or not this was specifically directed to the coaches community. what do we know so far? natasha? about the suspect. yes, you do sales have come out about the suspect? certainly say he is a 69 year old man, a former train joy. apparently he has. he is known by police are also received in 2021. he was actually charged with a racist violence because he tried to attack some migrants in a margaret camp in the center of the city. he was charged in the past with that is known to please be not known to the intelligence services. what the french and tara
9:05 pm
minister and the police are saying is that they don't get know what the motivation was behind the start, even though it does seem they say to be racially motivated. now the shoe, so as far as we know is in the hospital, he was injured earlier. he's not in a critical condition. that was being said a little bit early, but what we know is he was injured and in the hospital. so of course, an investigation has been warned by the parents, prosecutor, and no doubt we will find out more in the coming days. alright, thanks so much. tasha butler, that powerful winter storm is disrupting holiday travel across parts of north america. the plunging temperatures set to deliver the coldest christmas day to parts of the u. s. in nearly 40 years. car lang has the story. 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
9:06 pm
had been cancelled as a powerful arctic storm spreads across the us and 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 slots scheduled for her to entertain. i saw her while the one way over an upper to leave her extreme weather alerts had been issued in nearly 2 thirds of the u. s. as temperatures plunge due to a life threatening wind chill. even the u. s. president has urged people to heed the warnings. goose not like a smooth and owner kid. this is serious, joe and i team were 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 wanted a grocery store so well had to come out for this week. and mom will be stuck in house looking at the snow, the numbing cold intensified by strong winds extends as far south as texas. when
9:07 pm
newly arrived, undocumented migrants are sleeping on the streets. a number of governors have already declared states of emergencies as the cold snap delivers. the eye ceased christmas. in decades, car leg al jazeera. the conditions have been brutal in some parts of the us shock. rooster reports from brenton harbor in michigan. your invention, harbor, michigan, which is essentially right across the lake from chicago. we're getting all of the impacts of this massive winter storm. you see the snow that's coming down? well, they're expecting the snow to continue. possibly 4 more days. it's this lake effect snow. some areas expecting more than 2 feet of it to come by the time we get to christmas, but is not just the snow. it's also the wind. at some points there are breaks in the snow, but you can tell because of the wind whipping the snow around the toughest when the strongest wind is expected to come later this afternoon,
9:08 pm
up to 60 mile an hour wind gusts for this area. but the danger is and what you're hearing from a local authorities, local police authorities is that you shouldn't be out on the roads. because what this, when does, is it whips around the snow that's already on the ground and on the road that creates 0 visibility in those white out conditions that so many are concerned about . but then there's also the temperature. so we saw the temperatures yesterday completely plummet right now. it's right around 0 degrees about 2 degrees on that, the monitor, or if you factor in the wind chill, that means the real field temperature is well below 20 degrees below 0, truly dangerous temperatures, especially if folks start to lose power as the day continues. so brutal conditions here in the midwest region, but the one hopeful signed the one glimmer of hope we heard from the national weather service. they say that once we get to the back half of next week,
9:09 pm
this region could be experiencing us unseasonably like warm temperatures. it could feel more than 90 degrees a warmer than it does. right now. i'll tell you that can't come soon enough. let's get some perspective on this storm rife. pomerantz is a senior fellow at the wood. well climate research center. he says people are divided on whether it's related to climate change or not. summer related directly to climate change and are well understood in terms of attribution other phenomenon of our thought co have 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 2 o'clock 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
9:10 pm
north america here, it's really cold because the very cold air in the arctic 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 vast and the other schools as well. this is natural variability. there been an attribution debate over many 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 who scientists who think they can track the climate change for the next others or not so sure. on china's claim that it has no reports of new cove. at $900.00 fatalities is being disputed,
9:11 pm
but it's off. the video is really showing dozens of body banks piling off with a funeral parlor in chunk chain in the south. west. china recently changed its definition of covey. death, limiting it to those calls by pneumonia and response re failure. and this hospital lobby in chunking was converted into a makeshift cobra 19 award. another room that the facility is filled with patience on intravenous strips. cases of rising in china after the government east restrictions this month, following a wave of protest. locks on the 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 of a 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
9:12 pm
going to be very difficult to combat the tidal wave of covet 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 consequence of that success now because there are many people that will be experiencing who 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 of died from cove it as a result of not just this way, but the consequent waves that will emerge from the current outbreak. so china says that have been hardly any new covered desk, but the experts a warning of trouble ahead. the institute for health metrics and evaluation has produced several projections for the next few months. the 1st looks at the number
9:13 pm
of deaths. if china adopt the strategy that research is expect, they believe the total report to death during the pandemic, whole climb above $290000.00. by next april. the experts also explore the possibility that a large percentage of people will use masks. well, that scenario would mean less death. roughly 225000. since the pandemic began, then there's this scenario. chinese government does not bring back any mandates to prevent the spread the virus or the projected death hole climes to half a 1000000 deaths since the virus 1st emerged. now, if there are still no new mandates by the end of next year, the figures climb even higher. the projected number of death is 1600000. during the course of the pandemic. riley mach dad, is an epidemiologist at the institute of health metrics and evaluation at the university of washington joint just now from seattle in the u. s. good to have you
9:14 pm
with us. so 1st of all, let's start with the numbers coming out of china. the official numbers, do they look credible to, you know, not the whole, the number that we are looking for actually would be hospitalisation poor, cool, big and was school. but 19 that not leaving any of these numbers and reported number of cases. and best of course, is an under estimate, right, you put together some casualty projections. i went through them and basically it means the difference is hundreds of thousands of lives being saved depending on whether restrictions or what kind of restrictions are imposed, right? exactly, so people in china where they mass, when they are outside the rooms, a good quality mask, of course, mortality will come down. and if the government put in place mandates and we don't mean seattle corporate policy, like closing non essential business,
9:15 pm
asking people to stay a common areas where they see a rapid search approval. 19. the numbers go down to about 225000 compared 250-0000. if they do not. and i'm wondering, can restrictions be imposed at this stage if the population is unwilling to comply? we've seen protests against restrictions in china recent. they haven't way it can be only and only if the chinese government is forced coming was the number of cases and the number to postal is it. if you want your public to stay at home, you need to tell them what's happening in their own community. so far we don't see to ask the public to stay across why you're telling them that or not no cases and no data from gilbert. 19 nobody is when i listen and people are gonna come outside, you need to be transparent, then people will listen to you. and i'm also wondering, i think we've got to put this in the global context because co, it is not restricted to one country. we've seen that flow from country to country.
9:16 pm
what does this mean for the rest of the world? i putting projections together for the spread globally, outside of china to yes we are. so we're like now the cool the below, but it will be impacted by china. what's happening in china? we have seen so far, billions of infections from on the car. what spending that i cannot shine as bay one, b 2 and b a 5. we haven't seen so far an immune escape value. and so that's the good news. so we're expecting about 1100000000 to be infected than china. hopefully none of the new variance that are immune escape will appear. so that's what we're looking at from the economy standpoint, china as a major producer of for house goods that can be a lot of shortage because chinese will keep them supplies that come will not export denman, of course, that be a lot of delay and goods because china as a major exported of goods for the whole world. can we take any hope in avoiding the sort of 2020 scenario because of vaccines,
9:17 pm
something that we didn't have at the beginning of this of this pandemic? yet? yes, we can. i mean, china could use that on booster right now. it will produce some immunity, that vaccine is not as good as them are in a vaccines that we have in the western countries. so companies can donate vaccine that the chinese government allow vaccines or a nay and give it to the elderly population, the more susceptible people in the country, if they're willing to accept like anti violent medication from other company and give it to the highest population. yes, we can avoid a lot of the problems, we need to work best of books. all right, thank you so much on a mac that plenty more still ahead on the news out, including thousands of board of full staff in the u. k. go on strike, to demand better pay as the christmas holidays begin. and it's been a tough time for consumers around the world. we'll take a look at how inflation is affecting people into kia ah,
9:18 pm
or us congressional panel has released its final report officer investigating last year. capitol hill attack. it says the blame lies with one man. donald trump, alexander buyers, reports to reckon 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 $845.00 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,
9:19 pm
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 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 fake 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
9:20 pm
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 lies solely with the department of justice. alexander buyers, al jazeera class 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 trumps chances of becoming president again, the 14th amendment, section 3 of the us constitution says that any one who has previously held public office and who has committed insurrection against the united states
9:21 pm
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
9:22 pm
a mere committee determination could play that same role fam, 23, our group in the democratic republic of congo says its withdrawing from some territory as a goodwill gesture. fight to say they'll give up a position in the northeast to a regional peace talks commission, the r c. and do, and experts of accused rounder of backing the m $23.00 and allegation kigali denies . east african leaders have been pushing for an end to the conflict. the 4th hundreds of thousands of people from their homes. since october. the un peacekeeping mission in the d. r. c is the biggest in the world, but it's been unable to prevent attacks by armed groups. the m $23.00 is one of more than $100.00. thanks denise, can, congo? it emerged more than a decade ago and finds his seeds the city of gomer on the border with rwanda, they say that defending the interests of the ethnic to see minority in 2013. the

congolese army and un backs forces defeated the m $23.00 and it's fighters fled to wander, and uganda. m 23 spits into several factions. but earlier this year, 2 of them united to launch the latest offensive. malcolm web has more from the roby . in recent months, the 33 armed group took control of several key towns in advance toward the regional capital of goma. the city of goma sites that have been photographed and filmed with rwandan soldiers among them quite to use london military equipment for everyone to deny the n 3 is it proxy? now, people in strategic cross calling, i have been demonstrating per month plus the, again, rwanda and uganda, they accuse of decades of military battling and aggression. they've also been protesting against the international community, particularly the u. k. and france. so that silent on the issue in recent month,
9:24 pm
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 the key ally of rwanda and a military partner, france finally said that one day, back in 23 in the land. 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. hundreds of thousands of airline passengers are facing a christmas of destruction and delays as u. k. border. falstaff, begin 8 days. of strike action, military personnel have been drafted in to try and minimize the delays at airports including london, heathrow, manchester, and birmingham o breland reports. why don't we have to say what is the way right now in
9:25 pm
a torrential rainstorm? just after dawn, the picket line took shape as an insight into how determined and desperate these work is our willingness to stand. the protest in these condition speaks volumes u. k. price inflation is 10.7 percent. the government is offering these work as a pay rise of just who we are marginally above the national minimum wage, marginally just a heads whiskey. i don't think people really appreciate just how far away we fall and instead of staffing these passport control desks at airport arrivals, 1000 quarter force officers have begun an 8 day walk out of a pe, pensions, and redundancy terms. 6 airports and one seaport are affected. the board for strike will effect 99000 inbound flights carrying an estimated 1700000 passengers. the worst effect it will be london heathrow with all $900000.00 passengers expected to be delayed during the strike days. but the impact will be felt nationwide at manchester airport, more than a quarter of
9:26 pm
a 1000000 passengers will be effected using military personnel to staff. the passport control dest appears to have minimized the disruption so far. on social media, some passengers reported no queues quicker than usual and passing through border control in the quickest time in 10 years. but there's a growing wave of industrial unrest across several different groups of public sector workers. while the u. k. government is refusing to enter negotiations with the union. prime minister richie cynic has expressed disappointment at the strikes and insist pay rises with only fuel further inflation. it goes, it is difficult question of setting public sector pay. the government has acted fairly unreasonably in accepting all the recommendations of the public sector, pay review bodies. that's an independent process, the government as listened to. you know, i dodge everybody who's traveling at the moment to just please check before you make your journey. so you know, what's public sentiment public support for the strike is, could be crucial in the days and weeks ahead at the moment it seems public support
9:27 pm
is with the strike because by a small margin more people blame the government for the ongoing disputes than the unions additional public sector strike days have been announced with january. this is turning into a battle of attrition whole brennan al jazeera. he threat. it's very difficult year for consumers until here. inflation has climb to the highest level since president rogers, they both one took office maybe 20 years ago. or critics say his policy is focused on economic expansion and cheap credits instead of stability. government officials blame rushes, invasion of ukraine. so don't go. so lou has more from a stumble. 16 year old sammy's john has been training as a mechanic atlas shop in a stumble for a few months. 3 years ago, his parents divorce his mother was forced to find a job to support him. but it went tricky as inflation skyrocketed, he decided to drop out of school after that, the long,
