12:07 am
and there's really 2 schools who taught 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, as flight cancellations pile into the thousands traveler. st going home just isn't an option where from an imogen family and like my parents and their siblings move to the u. s. many years ago. but every year we try to spend christmas or thanksgiving or something like that together. just, you know, to keep the family connected. so it's, it's really important. try to stay focused on the reason for the season in the face of intense seasonal weather, rosalyn jordan elgin's era a shop or towns he joins me live now from washington. d . c. explain what's happening where you are. she was cold. i'm so glad i could explain that to our international audience. so we were
12:08 am
having some pretty, pretty sub 02 and d. c. we have 8 degrees centigrade right now, around 9 degrees. we hear that that's going to move towards 12 degrees centigrade in the coming hours. but actually at 1st you get out and if you're lucky enough to have winter clothing and as rosen and alluded to, this is the country the normal in the quality. but if you do have the winter clothing, it doesn't feel that bad, what the killer really is, the winds and where the windshield right now, we're told a 20 and a half degrees centigrade. we expect that through up to 26 degrees centigrade in the coming out. and then there's that wind speed over told you that wouldn't speed up the 55 miles from tony's actually saying minus the negative numbers like i took that was read because i call say, minus 26 degrees winchell 55 balls. now that's, that's very, very dangerous. essentially listening to rather than that, talk about climate change in the debate. i couldn't help but think, well looking behind me at capitol hill, just how many climate change denies. but still it's true that we're told by the
12:09 am
climate change, scientists not to suggest one particular weather event is clearly a result of climate change. but it has to be said, the scientists all getting more and more confident, even of up linking specific climate, specific weather events, the climate change. i tell you has a huge amount of evidence saying that as the arctic gets warmer, the jet stream is disruptive and pushes all that out to downwards. we're getting about more, more often, even as the climate itself may be moving out, we're going to get more and more st. weather events. we've seen that in the us throughout the yeah. including brief, sudden, enormous cold. but i'm sorry, roger, the statistics of the center for american progress, i just looked up 139 members of congress still deny any kind of man made climate change which pops confidentially. they've taken 161000000 competitively from the fossil fuel industry. i've included 52 percent of house, republican, 60 percent of senate republicans, a quarter of elected officials are sent to democrats to sort of maybe 2 thirds of
12:10 am
the money when the fossil fuel industry goes to republicans. about a 3rd goes to democrats and throughout the year, you know, we just had what's being billed as the most major climate legislation and in the u . s. history sometimes about it's the only climate change legislation we've had. it's to j biden's, very proud of it. there awesome, significant pieces of legislation that for funding for electric vectors and things, but it's nowhere near. it's nowhere near enough. you got the sense of urgency has dropped off once again. another about has been passed last night that the fossil fuel lobby had a field day with that they ready to go to that they really love that legislation, which is interesting sun. but it goes unfortunately, what we often see in washington is the politicians who take the back roads to catch the fossil fuel industry. it's like, well, like it is pretty cold, was approved as a global warming. and i hate to say it. i think there's there's nothing to indicate that we won't be hearing similar statements from the usual suspects going forward.
12:11 am
i won't tell you to try and keep warm shot, but i will just leave you where you are now. thank you very much for now. is shop for the in washington? very cold washington, i should say. well, now at least 8 people have died in heavy snow storms and northwest in japan. the powerful weather system has been impacting more than western areas in the country since saturday. snowdrifts, of course traffic. cale disrupting railway services, cutting power to thousands of hundreds, whether officials are asking people to be careful and also not to not to go out unless it's absolutely necessary until monday. so a very difficult conditions there in japan as well. well, much more to bring you on this news al, from london, we're getting ready for another covert surgery. india is now preparing for a new wave of the virus thanks to an outbreak in china. also coming up with this is one of the saddest days for all goes concerned about women's rights girls rights.
12:12 am
former u. k. foreign minister, gordon brown speaks to us about the plight of women and girls band from university in afghanistan. ah, the m 23 armed group which you see sways of territory and the democratic republic of congo has pledged to retreat from a strategic frontline position. fight to say they will give up the town of cuba in the northeast to a regional commission as a gesture of good. well, am $23.00 is widely understood to be backed by rwanda and allegation kigali denies . east african he does have been pushing for an end to the conflict that's force hundreds of thousands of people from their homes since october volunteer to let them go through the phil blue shield. do this, this is a good will. gestures that the m 23 will make today. it is in the name of pills at a gesture that is part of the recommendations of the mini summit pets,
12:13 am
state health and angola. it november 2020 to me. so we hope that the kinshasa government will seize this opportunity to hands and work to bring peace to our country. was well un peacekeeping mission in congo as the biggest in the world. and yet it's been unable to prevent attacks bound groups. the m 23 is one of more than a 100, based in the eastern part of the country. it emerged more than a decade ago when fighter sees the city of goma on the border with rwanda. they said they are defending the interests of the ethnic tootsie minority in 2013 congolese army and you went back forces defeated the m 23 in its fight as fled to a wander. and uganda they splintered into several factions. but then earlier this year, 2 of them united to launch the latest offensive was your michelle nellin do as a researcher and co founder of the free font swap, bayer cassandra collective. he joins us by now from belgium,
12:14 am
by skype. so it's very interesting the m 23 group because they are one of many arm groups that are active in the, in the east indiana. they seem to be very well armed, very well organized. and they pose a real threat to the army. tell us more about why it's, it's unique in this part of the country are thank you for having me. my room is unique to the part of the country because we have to remind your viewers that in 1997, rwanda, uganda in invaded the congo to remove frozen whistle. and those same forces have remained in the d, r. c. the un has recently published that rwanda has committed military operations in the congo. so that's what makes even more unique one, there is in the convo with up the invitation of the concordy state. and so why would the m $23.00 then decide to withdraw or concede this territory? now what might have prompted that?
12:15 am
i believe it's the phone call that happened on december, the 5th between the secretary lincoln and pull a government where the secretary of state lincoln requested the wander stops supporting hom groups including the support of m. 20 for how significant is the area that it's withdrawing from because that has been violence and they've been, it's very interesting the offensive in the east in d r. c. they've been very strategic in the particular towns and sort of trading routes that they've targeted. so how important is this bit of territory that they are claiming to concede and hand over to this regional commission? it's incredibly important because it's the region of the world that has colton cobalt that we use in our smart phones in our laptops. and we have with climate change, they want to have renew electrical cars. so it's very significant. and i also as
12:16 am
the congress, these authorities to use this opportunity to just international partners to have a coalition of the willing to have an international tribunal to bring those responsible to trauma and justice. because the violence it's, it's all for they have weaponized, female bodies and used right. as a weapon of all there's been continued sexual violence, and women and girls are particularly vulnerable in camps for displace people and many more thousands of been displaced in the area of this year. but this is after decades of violence. it's in many ways, it's not a new story, it's just that it's fighting has intensified this year. and so when you say, you know that to be a tribunal for those responsible just to be clear about this, it's not just the many armed groups that are committing crimes against people. it's, there are also crimes being committed by the congress on the itself. i said argument, that's why that's why it's important to have
12:17 am
a tribunal to stop this whole trav. impunity. doctor, dennis mccrae, who's them? who's the man who fixes women has been arguing that point for the last 20 years because it's awful. what's happening to convert these women? i have sisters, i have on teeth. i have nieces and what's happening to the women in the eastern congo in congo in general. it's personally upsetting because it's as companies we see ourselves as one family. if the, if eastern congo is not healthy is it's like the whole body, it's not healthy. and you say you have family there you're for says your aunt is extended family. maybe she had a bit more light on what life is like for women in this part of the world. and particularly this part of congo is incredibly difficult for women, or women are generally view the 2nd class citizens and that hard to well. and the weapon as ation already has been a female body, has only just increase the softness, the suffering for women in eastern congress,
12:18 am
an incredibly difficult place for women, and they have been fired by any standards. thank you very much. young michelle in al, and i do appreciate you taking time to speak to last think the focus of trinity or china's claim that it has no ports of new covered for solid fatalities has been disputed by this video. just released, showing thousands of body bags piled up a funeral parlor and chunk. ching in the southwest ages recently changed the definition of cause of death. only those caused by the mon, your spirit tree failure. wild health organization is called on aging to provide more detailed information on the sprite of cases. and this hospital or be in chunking, has been converted into a makeshift coven ward. now the room with a facility filled with patients on the ivy trips cases all surging in the country after the government started eating restriction this month after a wave of protest. well, the top health authority saying that 37000000 people might have been infected with cove it on a single day. this week. the bloomberg news agencies has minutes from

a meeting of the national health commission show this 248000000 people of forts of contract in the virus in the 1st 20 days of december. that's the equivalent to about 18 percent of the total chinese population. the institute for health metrics and evaluation is model 290000 covert deaths by april. if china adopts the containment measures, that research is expect they project 1600000 fatalities. if no new mandates are brought in ali, my dad is an epidemiologist at the institute that release those figures. he is saying the chinese government needs to be transparent about in the infections to make sure that people follow safety measures. 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 were 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,
12:20 am
then people will listen to you. right now to cove the blog, but it will be impacted by china. what's happening in china? we have seen so far, billions of infections from on the club. what spending right now in china is b one, b 2 and be a 5 we haven't seen so far and immune escape variety. and so that's the good news. so we're expecting about 1100000000 to be infected and china, hopefully none of the new finance or immune escape will appear. so that's what we're looking at from the economy standpoint. china is a measure review sort of how sir goodness, that would be a lot shortage because chinese will keep them supplies that come will not export done, endears caring out for a possible search and crying a virus infections as cases spread across china. no flights between the countries have been suspended. the government has asked health officials to step up surveillance. india has reported about 44000000 cases to date, the 2nd highest in the world. poverty metal reports now from you delhi. it's the
12:21 am
holiday season, and it's back in full swing for the 1st time since the pandemic began. but the looming threat of another corona vice outbreak could spoil the festive spirit faster for the other done via the him. 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 color. places such as market, but the outbreak in china and i've taken several other countries, has prompted me as another wave could be devastating for an under some health care system and is struggling economy. some pandemic protocols have returned. travelers need to be fully vaccinated against corbet. 19 and found the 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

12:23 am
a fair amount of immunity because of the exposure to different brush of the wireless. while the government is asking 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. park, new metal al jazeera, new delhi of canister taliban government has defended his decision to close universities to female students. as international condemnation continues to grow, women across the country have been protesting against the policy, and several have been arrested. some female students say they were physically forced to leave class that had about returned to power last year, women faced increasingly limited access to education and public life over you and special envoy for global education. and the former u. k. prime minister gordon brown says the taliban taking away women's rights line and the world cannot face silent. this is one of the saddest days for all goes

12:25 am
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 either they got to leave the country if they could or that 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 more still to bring you on. this is al, from london, u. s. congress releases its report into the capitol hill attack, accusing donald trump is engaging in a multi parking space. a christmas holiday. plans are thrown into doubt. here you k border for work is begin 8 days of industrial action. ah hello. we got lots of wet and windy weather last sweeping into western parts of

12:29 am
than 200000000 people around to where the warnings and, and 23 fight. as if see swayed the territory, the democratic republic of congo of pledged retreat from a strategic front line position. the u. s. congressional panel investigating the 2021 capitol hill attack is released its final report. it accuses the former president, donald trump, of a multi part conspiracy to overturn his election defeat. also recommends, barring trump from public office in the future, he did not cooperate with the panel and declared the final report which hunt alan fisher has moved from washington. j. done and dusted after 18 months was more than $1000.00 witness testimonies. and with more than a 1000000 pages of evidence, the january state committee report has been published. 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 report details. how then president donald
12:30 am
trump plan to overturn the 2020 presidential election from knowingly lying about claims of water fraud, pressuring, the vice president, members of congress, and local federal officials. he filled awe. he then summoned a mob of his supporters to washington, and for more than 3 hours. he did nothing to stop them as the attack the capital. the bipartisan committee members were unanimous in their conclusion. one man caused the january 6th attack donald trump, and they've made clear he must be held accountable. earlier this week, the formerly accused the former president of inciting insurrection and other crimes and recommended he face criminal prosecution. eddie, the justice department is conducting its own investigation. and the committee hopes its findings will be a roadmap for the special counsel heading that process. trump has dismissed what he says are freak charges. he believes it's an attempt to block his new white house
12:31 am
run. this is unprecedented. we're talking about a former u. s. president and also a candidate for the president of the united states in 2024. even though this is not by me. this certainly puts pressure on the justice department to actually weigh this evidence against the former president. the republicans will take control of the house next month, and that will almost certainly end any future investigations on that side of congress. so now it's up to the department of justice to decide who's to blame. and if anyone should face charges over a day, then shook american democracy, allan fisher al jazeera washington ret wilson is co founder of the lincoln project, which is a u. s. political action committees. also a former republican strategist. he joins us live now. thank you for taking the time . speechless at dinner says so far seems to be the material in the report doesn't add a great deal more to what the public already knew from the hearings themselves. but
12:32 am
was there anything here that surprised you? well, i have to say i was surprised by things that work in the record, like the role ginny thomas played and spent a deeper investigation. some of the, the information that seemed to be coming out about the, the will or war room where c band and others were involved. but there the volume of this, i think you're correct much. it was already, as they say, based into the cake about how people are perceived, january 6 and the, and the insurrection itself. and much of it was already stuff that had become, you know, well understood the public mind. the referrals to the d, o j are important, but we've, we've yet to know just how far the d o j is willing to, to look at those as guidance or as potential actions that they may be maybe taking given the jack smith, special prosecutor's office, their role as well, i guess whatever, attorney general merrick collin does,
12:33 am
he's going to be accused of bias. does this, does this report perhaps give the department justice some cover to indict? i think what it does primarily is offers them a bunch of new investigated material that's already been very thoroughly that it and research and it lets them match up things that the committee developed over the last year with things to d. o j's been developing. i don't, i don't know that it gives them cover to, to launch additional work, but it would give them it would give them a lot of material. i think, to round out cases they already have. and again, to round out what jack smith, special prosecutor is pursuing in these matters. i mean, do you think you would have preferred a report possibly doesn't just as if i would have preferred a report that wasn't so explicit, that was perhaps more ambiguous in terms of the recommendation for criminal charges just because of the allegations that have been leveled against the public
12:34 am
perception, nissan parts of trump, supporters are a part of the population that this is all part of a democrat pressure campaign, or which chance against trump well, what that was an accusation they would have made regardless. and in this case, you know, you can't argue that that one side of ally is the same as the truth. and the fact is, this d o, j has been extraordinarily restrained and a number of cases where donald trump did show more exposure for 2 criminal charges . and they frustrated their own people on the, on the democratic side by doing what the d o j. that's traditionally done, which has been a non partisan organization and been very careful in the kinds of things they did that could have an overlay on the political climate in the country. it obviously, if the challenge is been leveled against that committee as that it's, it's completely one sided. but of course that's because the president trump in
12:35 am
those plays 10 and refused to participate in this price asked. and there was absolutely no complaints from them, but nevertheless, public opinion of this is going to be much more shaped by whether or not you're a trump supporter than anything that this report could say. or anything that the evidence shows about what took place on that day. i think public perception this will be profoundly shaped by the partisan divide in this country, which is increasingly stark and increasingly definitive in terms of how people perceive any issue in the country. of we have 40 percent of people in this country who believe donald trump is a god who walks the earth, 40 percent, who believe he's the devil and the rough. just want him to go away. and it's a, it's a, it's a very difficult space where even things like facts and evidence and information that has vetted improve. so it's hard for those sort of things to make an impact
12:36 am
anymore, particularly with trust base where they will, they refused to believe negative information as they have since all the way back in 2015. thank you very much for joining us for a while since from that are living with project so much. authorities in peru is saying at least 22 people have been killed. derek protest spot by the ousting of the former present pedro castillo earlier this month. bytes groups have condemned the use of force by police and the army, and demanding investigations around a sanchez has more from lima. oh, tears and anger. the family of 27 year old lord. not the one good, laid him to rest. then i'll see you soon. little brother, i know that we are all going to die. may they be justice again? no, now to lose one of more than 20 protesters killed in clashes with security forces. at least 4 of the victims were children. prosecutor say it is likely that most of
