it's a sad thing happens every year deteriorating road conditions and melting power outages have led. some officials to declare a state of emergency. the best thing you can do is stay off the roads. stay inside the storms. intensity has experts debating whether global warming is to blame. so really cold because the very cold air in the arctic board tech's 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 he arctic is warming so fast. and the other school says, all this is natural, variability as flight cancellations pile into the 1000 traveler. st going home just isn't an option of where from an immigrant family and like my parents and their siblings moved 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 trying to stay focused on the reason for the season in the face of intent. seasonal weather. ah, rosalind jordan, al jazeera or and b. c. shock, he'll brewster has more on the severe conditions from the u. s. state of michigan here in benton 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 it's not just the snow, it's also the wind. at some point, there are breaks in the snow, but you can't tell because of the wind whipping the snow around. but more now i see him. it's all a deception stalks his hair as some wild fluctuations then it yeah, absolutely staggering. some of these and in some places we saw something like

a 2025 degree drop in temperatures in only about what just half an hour. that sort of, that sort of level of time. got some values to show you here actually out on the strength of the wind, of course, as well. fairly got a whole lot colder than that. it is wednesday cross or north america 11 celsius in denver, 2 degrees celsius in kansas city. and the following day. look at that for a drop down 20 degrees there. so it's really hard to know what sort of, how big a wardrobe you need to, to, to having a wardrobe to cope with these kind of conditions. big changes there and how long can we expect this to continue? and that's the big question. well, as we go through the christmas period, i think we should grassy see things improve. i'm pleased to say, but certainly more winfrey, whether to come in terms of those very low temperatures. it certainly is going to be something of an improvement over the next couple of days. there's an offending area of low pressure just up towards or james bay just to around the, to the north of the great lakes there. and it's really tightly packed or just take off the cloud, then you can see how many lines are,

are on our chart there. so that's a very intense area of low pressure. the pressure dropped like a bomb and c term bomb cycling that has been used over the past few days. take another look at these temperatures. so this is for to they look at the blues, they're all the way down across southern parts of the us or the cold air. it's actually creeping into the far north of cuba. now as we go on for the next couple of days, look at the yellows to start to push their way into southernmost parts. so we're going to see temperature starting to gradually pick up. and by tuesday, we could be back up to 16 celsius there in denver, back above freezing there for kansas city. so the was steadily be something of improvement, at least in terms of those temperatures. missy, kansas getting up to 9 celsius much of the us. she noticed by this state will be back up into well back up in see positive figures at least. so that is something of a massive improvement in terms of the web. well, we still got plenty of snow around 3. the remainder of today just around quebec ensue, we're ontario, just around the great lakes as well elsewhere. gentle reach,

roy, a lot of sparkling sunshine, blue skies. but of course, it is going to be white out conditions, at least on the ground as we go on 3 christmas day, a white christmas for many, at least in terms of the white this on the ground, more snow coming in across the canadian prairies down into the lakes, just notice up towards the northwest as we go into the early part of next week. war wintry weather coming into western canada rain slipping its way down across the pacific northwest of the u. s. and that will sink further southward. so, as we make our way towards the new year, we are going to see some other wet weather fable to wintery weather, even into california. but i'm pleased to say it is a generally improving condition across central parts of the u. s. with snow up towards the northeast carry. okay, and thanks very much indeed. now my grants hoping to cross since the u. s. from mexico, our enduring temperatures below freezing are waiting for the u. s. supreme court to lift trump error restrictions that prevented many from seeking asylum or limit san

border crossings were set to expire on wednesday, but an extension was granted. and my ebay, they're going to see had moved from the coastal rules in his will. lot of sun and the weather here fix us a little is very cold, right? know we are having a bonfire. it's our muscles of a little bit closer. it's going to come down to almost $23.00 degrees tonight and there are some of them. there's been nitrogen, it's been so called that people i step outside and they say police are let me. and even if they're standing room only, i don't even have to find a place on the floor to sleep as long as you just allow me to come in. now there's more extreme weather in other countries as well in iraq heavy rainfall. this cause flash flooding in several cities. a capital baghdad is among the air is affected. the government is facing criticism for failing to prepare for extreme weather. and in japan or record breaking snow storm has blanketed parts of the northwest. living

at least 8 people dead. is led to traffic chaos, disrupted railway services and cut power to thousands of homes forecast as are expecting more storms in the coming days or killer fair. so as order the united nations coordinator in the country to leave arbor, pansy was declared for senate, non grata after she decided to withdraw non essential un staff from with the west african nation is on the military rule after 2. cuz this year, the government said, mans is moved, discredited, security efforts. if you knew we had heard him, mrs. barbara predicted chaos in broken affairs in the coming months. we do not know what basis she can do this, especially since on the security side are still major efforts underway. and in this matter, the united nation should be supported structure, not an organization that advocates this tell me of a country that says of thousands of supporters of india's main opposition party are marching through the capital,

new delhi. they've been crossing the country for more than 3 months in what seen as a show strength by the indian national congress. the party was one of the largest, but now guns only 3 of the $28.00 states. march is expected to continue until february of natal has more from new del houses, the people have gathered to join one of in just most powerfully men on these, the side of and just me national opposition party, the indian national congress. and he has been walking thousands of kilometers across india. he says his goal is to unite the country corner rights by the governing gucci. it comes as the congress, it's all going to survive. it's down to one of its lowest tardies in parliament and only goblin c states. meanwhile, prime minister in the movie and the beach, if the roommate incredibly popular and on challenge dislike, growing criticism, there are concerned about the flight of minorities drinking space for descent as

well. as the government handling of the pandemic and the point of me, analysts say that the call is in ability to be an effective opposition and hold the government accountable, have contributed to the b, j. b, unprecedented success. not india is heading into national general elections in 2024 . that's about 16 months. oh, well, our analysts say that be honest to challenge the b g p and hold that accountable. now lies with smaller regional party. so speak to target and i'm sorry now he's a senior journalist and physical commentator and he joins a slide from to bye. you're welcome to the program. so the congress policy has been on a downward spiral for years now. but this march has been joined. huge crowds, isn't it? but certainly it has certainly succeeded in reinvigorating the congress cater. there is a certain time now an essential purpose as far as the congress workers are concerned . but to really,

the bigger question is really this enthusiasm that one witnesses on the st can read itself towards it has certainly changed hold on this image. the pgp used to be used to say that he cannot spend more than a month in india and love to travel abroad, and he doesn't have it in him to to last the distance, whether he's put in the hobby, he's done a 105 days of the road from 6 am to 2 to late to be evening. that's no easy task. so it has done is image a good, it's read very good to the party, but will this directed towards that's the big challenge for the congress party. what indeed, were these elections coming up? what's your view on that? but certainly, like i said, the congress party seems invigorated the kid. the leaders are still fighting the fraction of the battles each trying to put down the other. so the challenge will be to try and find translate this into you hasn't been taught and because of our walk

at all can do invigorate the cater, but it cannot build and organization and that is the work that the new president of the party, mr. molly college and i'll read to support of the god. these are the other leaders need to get down to because of the congress, like how much provisions shown if rather states where the congress can get her to act together. it's is more than a challenge to be shipping and how much of this is also about other issues like unemployment and advising prices, for example. but said to me, it's about to have standing up and uniting against communism. it's about prices, it's about to call me because it got to be is an issue that hicks, everybody your everybody's are every household and there is guarantee affected by the plight of the economy. and that's something that people can relate to, maybe secularism, maybe bring bringing inclusiveness is may not be the grow that by 2 people together

on an ideological plan. it's fine. but when it comes to peoples or likelihood that cuts across goss dot cuts across religion, which has been the b, g, p main, calling god. so if you can find that i did go to that and the congress believes that the light of the economy is one such a jewel, which is rich, can bring people together, cutting costs, religious and religion, and other devices are given what you say then will be j p b at all concerned by this. well, the b ought to be concerned if i were to put it to the manager of a party opposed to the congress. i would certainly do this with concern with alarm, and i would try and have contingency plans ready because as it is we've seen in the past it, it needs somebody to walk to do something out of the box to bring people together. and our got this idea of this walk upon across in the bottom dollar truck could possibly be one such thing where they did their job and i'm sorry,

we appreciate your time. thank you. thank you. open to more head on the news hour, including collapsing, state institutions, and an economy in free fall back at a year of turmoil in lebanon. thus, what a terrible year? it's been for ukraine. russia's invasion is brought, indescribable suffering, but also grit and determination on rory, talents in here. and later in the program. i'll be looking at what ukraine has lost in 2022, and what it hopes to win back in 2023. ah, investigators in france are considering it whether racism was the motive in a shooting in paris. the left, 3 people dead, a 69 year old suspect privacy jailed for attacking a migrant cam has been arrested. the instant spark processed by members of the kurdish community. natasha battle reports from paris. could you have a police,

separate camara to random. the killer did it to yeah, the kurdish community follows. we don't know how we will go on with north kurdistan is dangerous, where we live in france, in the capital. and now it's dangerous. here. frances prism condemned to what he called an odious attack against curds and france. earlier the interior minister had said to shoot his motivation was unclear, pacific more point pure than he was clearly targeting foreigners. what 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, there is no evidence to show that there was no doubt though in the minds of demonstrators angry and upset. they've been flying approval attorneys that moved in now to try and clear the protesters because they only becoming quite while the protest subsided. but police remained on standby and investigations been opened

into the attack, and the interior ministry says security will be increased at code your sites in the country. for some they say it's a welcome measure, but one that comes too late. natasha butler, al jazeera paris. what's the latest on this story? let's speak with this time. i've been job it in paris there. so sama clearly a turbulent and tense situation. what's the latest? you can tell us a. well, this is the could dish community marching for public square and presentation in the community because the police took long so long to respond after they had a bull powered the attack. and the 3 people who were killed, worse activists would gather again. and they say that this shouldn't be discarded, they say as a racist attack, a particularly against a community,

a part of yours. and they've been telling me, depending the difference, like the majority has gone. and this is why the gathering since last night you heard the even the chaise lounge, i depending service investigating it, but people, according for justice and they wanted, now more are we learning about the suspect in this that this was a 69 year old who had their history of racist violence. 60 years ago this person was involved in johnson versus flood people a year ago, he did take out a few swords and injured sydney's migrants in paris. that's why he's jail for a year. and just last week, he was nice and we carry out this attack. he has been telling us that he still had 45 routers for their magazine,

for his whole power by the police. and this and then these are, this is why people are very angry and frustrated. that's why was this person allowed to have such automatic methods was able to come close to the community with . and why wasn't anyone wondering how on the question such questions that the french government will not flaunts as it is investigating this attack and says that this was an attack, particularly against this community. and it will continue to try and give them justice and find out whether there were any other involvement apart from this particular person. can really be there some events on the line for sin parents then . thank you. no, a gas tank has exploded in the south african city of box burg, leaving 8 people to head emergency services around the scene and say, a firefighter is among several people who are injured. the cause of explosion is not yet cramp. osburg is in the east of the economic hub of johannesburg. now the

international airport ah, rasa launched is invasion of ukraine in february 10 months. so there's no end in sight to the fighting in many ukrainians are enduring. a dark and cold winter, or a challenge looks at the events that shaped the conflict. the february, the 24th 2020 to the day everything changed for ukraine. through the chaos. one thing was clear. months of military filled up. be no blood. this was a russian invasion from batteries, southern russia and crimea troops, tanks and aircraft poured across the borders, fleeing the russian blitzkrieg civilians, crowded train stations and highways. hundreds of thousands of women and children

headed abroad. men had to stay the device to my house being torn apart, but i'm sorry, it's tough. when families are separated, it's very hard. ukraine was fighting for survival. as a sovereign nation, volunteers joined the army and territorial defense criticisms. one of those who picked up a gun was a whore. he helped defend a pin, a key of suburb that saw fierce fighting. he who described to me what it had been like moment after a home of war. i had no fear. i don't know why we were all determined not to give up our land. we understood a weapons of a week against their arm or what we had modulation because of fierce ukrainian resistance, rushes invasion wasn't going well. at the end of march,

after huge losses of men and machinery, russia abandoned this attempt to seize cave, what they left behind. shops of the world who cher the most infamous, but civilian bodies were found in nearly every settlement. the russians had occupied, often showing signs of torture and execution. the seasons have carried on to see her and her grief through spring summer, autumn, and now to winter. when the russians abducted her son, they didn't take him far. just 200 meters down the road to the pig farm where his body was found. dick no, but we're to you, we will be through the window. i saw him been taken out. which good? there was a car outside they've taken for one of the villagers. do you feel when the the use of all this bullet when they put him in and laughed?

i didn't know where they were taken at half past 5 and shut immediately that evening. even lay as if he were sleeping in the spot in the east. the battle for don bass became an attrition of grind to the south. russia had more to show for its efforts. mary, you pull on the sea coast finally fell to the russians in may. the city of 400000 people before the war lay in ruins. but ukraine was preparing to strike back. it reached the khaki of region and surprise, september counter offensive. that was followed by a strike on rushes bridged to crimea, and a forced russian retreat from the city of her son. he said this was moscow's response. funny shows of military options, russia launch drones and cruise missiles at ukraine's energy grid. an attempt to

but 2023 and they only have one on so victory will reach out and out a 0 p. if sissy veney rebecca has been confirmed. as fiji is new prime minister, ending the days of political deadlock of parliament, an hourly voted in favor of the former cou leader. often an inconclusive election early this month at whittaker has served as prime minister twice. his last governance was toppled by outgoing lead at frank manny my rama. who had been in power for 16 years or book an hour heads a 3 parties coalition were future features, relations of china. it will be in the spotlight as rebecca takes charge. during his predecessors reign a beijing signed trade and security deals hoping to extend its influence in the pacific. but a book has previously signal that he could pivot away from china. but earlier this year, china signed a security pat with the solomon islands, a move that alarmed australia. and this month, the camera sign

a similar agreement with one or 2 but saw speak her to at the same author. no, she's at the feature correspondence a be sinews australia and joins esa from su, barbara, so it was the narrowest of votes in parliament for america to cement is come back. so how politically stable is this likely to be? well, the whole now most people is that this will be a stable government given that the last 60 years has been one of the one that most people here in b g as having been dictate your, with human rights records that were not exactly admirable. and with a history of not really consulting at the public or the other side of parliament. so there is a lot of hope amongst be genes here in the country as well as outside that this will be a government of national unity. one that has more than one. what do you which already make it very different from the really did you both parties that had the g?

i'm under it's tom was 16 years. what might miss mean though? regionally with his views on china, is there likely to be a major reassessment there he had said to australia and media as well as a international and you deal in media that he is likely to go with its traditional partner be just traditional partners are australia and new zealand and by extension, the united kingdom and united states of america, he did, however, say at the end of a very long explanation as to his barn policy, that he is likely to hold on to our sovereign power. which shouldn't be a little bit disconcerting, but those watching the geopolitical development in the pacific. and what do the population make of this them because it was so polarized, wasn't it? it was very polarized,

given the irony of the fact that the government before this one is one been trying to install a national identity for subject jan. give, then we have had racial tension in the past. we are the only country in the region that is not homogeneous. we have a multitude of races. and so it was really important that. a a new government coming in is the one that could get reassurance to the other races g that is descendants of indian labor. he had your british rule as well as a government was likely to take care of everyone. while of course, hold on to the back. come in on and that's to protect the rights of my 1st tennessee, but at the same over there, thank you. was to the heads. aaron al jazeera, soaring energy costs in europe, or threatening the future of aluminium smelters in greece. and we look at the

pick up and indeed we're seeing more tourists. we're seeing a higher occupancy rates in hotels. but still, palestinians are reminded that old though the photo nevada's but that make visitor actions are over. there is still living under it. that gets long, military occupation from bethlehem to the world. palestinians say the christmas message of hope started from their small city. they believed that jesus was born here more than 2000 years ago. ah, this annual parade tells the christmas story and tours different palestinian cities . it starts the journey from bethlehem, a city that depends heavily on tourism, but at stake in a hard hit in the past few years. due to the pandemic, gonzalez consented paradox. we suffered economically because of colbert closures this year is better because more tourists were allowed in,

not hopefully it will pick up. the up on this or the political situation is difficult. the economic situation is even worse. but we are the people of the land and will remain steadfast in it. we've offered questions used to make up 11 percent of the palestinian population and the 1920s. now they formed less than one percent . many here blame these really military occupation organizers of christmas parade. say it's one way the palestinian government is working to keep christians and their land wide by to had this festive mood is one way of maintaining the christian presence here. we're also working with the world's churches to help christians stay . it's rose doing everything to kick us out. but we count about how to keep christian palestinians in their lands. this north must come left her, lovey here. mm hm. how much did, according to the un 1022 was definitely in the occupied was banking

with people years they that bit these in a joy, them in their struggle. desperate as the result of 2 months of work. some of the carriages were brought from abroad, but others like this were made by artists from bethlehem. the parade has half to take a pause. the deed was supposed to make its way to the city of am allah! a general strike was announced to mourn the death of a palestinian prisoner in his ready jail across palestine. people remembered the loved ones, they lost this year. more so around the holidays. at i'll just ito's offices. this is the 1st christmas without veteran deported shooting a barclay. she was killed by israeli forces while on assignment in jeannine in may . palestinians take pride that jesus was one of them and liked to celebrate his birth in the hope that one day,

then half peace. ah, and joining me here at the door more about that with the pattern of church of christ and the tech. it's more about this year. i said that he was here now with brittany, that medic was not long wanting us from bethlehem. pike boy, is that conference animal that we organize it badly macbook? go send that back my my big polish day mister bell. i sent word around the world myself in the way that a thing which i think many still going to know, but also to communicate a lot of good stuff. but what tennessee? not that we don't think about. they just said it got, does that come with good. that the all that paperwork got on. think israel on it.

got to hold a 2nd the high. but not is that both or end up when it did get reality open justice at documation, depart, guy, and not what land co. my group cried that that 2nd point to bring good says around the world said about, don't worry ality. how, what the ology i want to position to tell them that way. then that would part of that. but a senior people i met got this celebration which shows how much room did we on that gotcha. and history of all by land you say you are rooted, but at the same time that number of says i have been using lining, i probably haven't percent. and then i see this one is now we're talking about how a church is helping people say we are resilient people. unfortunately, some choose to leave because of the very difficult political reality life. and that

our commission is difficult. and it's hard to blame people who choose not to say, but let's focus on those who state those so odd, very energized to keep that christian with this plan. you mention one percent, believe me with anything but there marginalized small minority we're part of that be upon we're how big is important through all the presidents organizations, different ministries, your work like you say, with your group. so we try to encourage people to stay because we have a message and we need to continue to get this message that started here 2000 years ago. and we thought of the palestinian people. this is all about land. we cannot just leave it if things get hard and i ask you where do you find hope that this was the most difficult here in so long that that me as a defeat here? where do you find a home? it was a very, very difficult here. and unfortunately,

it doesn't look good and the next day with the coming of a very radical wing and israel government, where do we find those? as i said, we are resilient people. and i look at that these young people will spend hours and hours and weeks practicing to say that we are still here and we exist. so i find all the things we do. i find the all and the message we sent, i look outside. no, that is no home, and this is why i loved christmas because in the midst of an employer, 2000 years ago in the midst of a brutal occupation in the midst of tyranny was good news and open peace. so it continued to say that despite the circumstance is not because of the circumstances . so hold is i want my present. i want to be. thank you so much faster. mother in law is a lutheran pastor here, but lyman, indeed, he talks about the whole, but we've been talking to people a year where saying that they're trying to see any opportunity to celebrate. but

that the difficult situation is not allowing them. but to fill that brit smith is all about home. neither, thanks very much. indeed. well, as 2022 comes to an end, lebanon that is without an executive authority stated destinations, are collapsing, and politicians have failed to mitigate the impact of an economy in freefall. so in a honda takes look back at the past 12 months on the surface, business appears to be booming, but this is only part of lebanon's reality. income inequality is not new in a country where the richest 10 percent of the population owns almost 70 percent of the total wealth. but now the economy has collapsed, making the poor even more vulnerable. it's being blamed on a system put in place by the political and business elite who are refusing reforms

to fight corruption. the state is nearly bankrupt. the public sector right now, it has no revenue. and you know, you need to pay saturdays to public employees for them to go to work. we are witnessing increasingly closing down off public institutions. professors at 11 is universities are no longer going to work. a lot of people are desperate. some have stormed bank at times, armed, demanding their own money. their savings have been trapped by informal capital controls. since the onset of the economic crisis, 11 on financial crisis entered is 4th year with losses amounting to more than $70000000000.00. the world bank says the countries current and future states on the assets public real estate potential, but i'm sorry, an oil and gas revenues combined are worth only

a fraction of that. the political paralysis hasn't helped a fragmented parliament, hasn't been able to elect the president since november, and without a head of state a government can be formed. it's an unprecedented vacuum, that delays efforts to revive the economy will definitely shopped. there are people who are sleeping without dinner, they don't have money to buy food. there are no jobs graduates or trying to find a way out of the country. there's little to show for the billions of dollars spent over the decades. that's apart from the chronic mismanagement. remember good, awesome. well, nothing will change even if the elect a president, because the same politicians responsible for running the economy into the ground are still in power. wouldn't samo. there's been no accountability for a crisis that destroyed the lives of so many. instead, lebanon has become a failed state. santa hood or al jazeera, they wrote a union, boston,

the u. k. as walnut strikes my board of for staff could get one for months. hundreds of thousands of airline passengers are facing a holiday disruption and delays. a security staff begin 8 days of action on the military has been drafted into minimize delays at major airports for britain has more. why don't we have to say what is the way right now? in 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 and protest in these condition speaks volumes. you, kate 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 ahead whiskey. i don't think people really appreciate just how far away we fallen is that of staffing these possible control desks at airport arrivals . 1000 water force officers have begun an 8 day walk out to repay pensions and

redundancy terms. 6 airports and one seaport are affected. the board for strike will effect 99000 and bound flights, carrying an estimated 1700000 passengers to west 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 a 1000000 passengers will be affected using military personnel to staff. the passport control desks 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 unions. prime minister wishes to knock has expressed disappointment to the strikes and insist pay rises would only feel further inflation. it was, 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 has 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 as could be crucial in the days and weeks ahead. at the moment it seems public support is with the strikers 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. who brennan al jazeera, he threat. at least 20 people have died off the fire tore through a nursing home in russia. it happened overnight has taught beer in the city of camera. investigators suspect a false eat boy, that was the cause. the private home is reported to have been operating illegally. a criminal investigation is underway by news coverage continues off the break. they
