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 weeks and weeks. well, as far as your michelle and under a research and co founder of the free one, saw back a song collective, he told me the territory conceded by the m 23 rebels is very sickness. it's incredibly important because it's a 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 the congress, diesel for it, is to use this opportunity to urge is international partners to have a coalition of the willing to have an international tribunal to bring those responsible to trial and justice. because the violence it's,

it's all for they have weaponized, female bodies and used right. as a weapon of all china claimed it has no reports of new cars it fatalities. but that is now being disputed off the video is really showing thousands of body bags piled up a funeral, potter and chunk chain in the southwest aging recently change the definition of covert deaths to only those caused by pneumonia or spirit re fadia. while health organization is called on aging, to provide more detailed information on the sprite of cases. well, the top health of 14, china is saying that the 37000000 people might have been infected with cars on a single day. this week. bloomberg news agencies has minutes from a meeting of the national health commission show $248000000.00 people votes of contract to the virus in the 1st 20 days of december, acts about 18 percent of the total population. the institute for health metrics evaluation is modeled 290000 cobra dest by april. if containment measures are

adopted, but the project over one and a half 1000000 fatalities, if nothing happens to try and protect people. i looked out as an epidemiologist at the institute that release those figures and he says that government has to be transparent about what's happening so that people follow safety procedures. 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 it to ask the public to stay across why you're telling them that or not no cases and no desk from good night. nobody is when i listen and people are gonna come outside, you need to be transparent and 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 car. what spending right now in china as bay one, b 2 and b a 5. we haven't seen so far, and immune escape fatty. 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 major producer of household goods that can be a lot of shortage because chinese will keep them supplies at home. will not export done, endears, gearing up for possible surgeon infections as well as cases spread across china. no flights between the countries have been suspended, but government has asked health officials to step up surveillance. and he reported about 44000000 cases to date. this is the highest level in the world. how many miss, how reports for me daily? 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 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 rolled back most restrictions off to the rate of infections

load in the past few months. most people have software in math, even in college, 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 thelma 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's. alden, india has made feast coverings, compulsory indoors. and 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 valiant in india, we can identified in a trance because of the festive season and new year. we have asked this to ask people to use masks and sanitizers and encourage social distances. there's also

renewed focus on vaccines. why 90 percent of eligible people are fully vaccinated against over 19? only a quarter have received a booster shot epidemiologist, the immunization is crucial to managing a virus that's he had to stay. i'm not thinking you need to panic. it talk because the situation in india is very different from that. in china and india, we have had exposure to the wireless in various fonts including omicron in january of this year. and we have quite a fair amount of immunity because of the exposure to different less 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. park new missile al jazeera new delhi much most it

concerned about women's rights and girl's rights. and the african girls and women are bearing the biggest burton 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, 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 afghan, a son will not be trading doctors and teachers, and researchers 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 before 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 either they got to leave the country if they could or they've 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 f canister. u. s. congressional panel investigating the kind of timeline capital hand attack is released that final report accusing for president donald trump, the multi part conspiracy to over time the election. it also recommends barring trunk from public office, he didn't cooperate with the panel and the kind, the final report which alan fish has more promotions. the chair 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 trump plan to overturn the 2020 presidential election from knowingly lying about claims of voter fraud? to pressuring the vice president, members of congress and local federal officials? he failed, ah, he then summoned a mob of his supporters to washington. and for more than 3 hours, he did nothing to stop them as they attacked the capital. the bipartisan committee members were unanimous in their conclusion. one man cause the january 6th attack donald trump, and they have 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 fake charges. he believes it's an attempt to block his new white house run . 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. the republicans will take control of the house next month, and that will almost certainly, and 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 be charges over a day then shook american democracy. allan fisher al jazeera washington authorities in peru say at least 22 people have been killed during protest font by the ousting of full and peasant pedro castillo. earlier this month, write scripts have condemned the use of force by police in the army and demanding investigations. my honor,
