as a kurdish cultural center. ah, i'm sammy zaden. this is al jazeera alive from dell hall, so coming up 8 ukrainians killed in a russian strike in the southern port city of hudson. we'll have a live update. a winter storm basses north america, leaving more than a 1000000 people without electricity. and the show of strength. india's main opposition party rallies thousands of supporters in new delhi. ah french police, a fire tear gas at a demonstration organized by kurdish activists and anti races. some groups

thousands of people have been rattling against the shooting of 3 people that occurred in cultural center in paris on friday. they wanted authorities to declare the shooting a terror attack and not a racially motivated incident. say could were targeted. police have arrested a 69 year old 9. it's been debate has been following developments from paris. you can see the police presence behind you. they've been able to clear out the republic square where you were seeing those dramatic scenes earlier on from today. we've seen dozens and dozens of rounds of tear gas fired. and as far as you can see, there is police security and 1st responders present to been a few people who are injured as the gas was being fired on them. and those protests is possessed as insisted that they want to continue to move away from the public square towards the steel square. and that is something which has infuriated them.

that is something that is 1st frustrating them even further. that when they were asking the police to respond, it took them 14 minutes according to them. and when they came out to express anger, and what had happened to the community in what they say, a target, a deliberate attack, the police came out in full force. so it has sent shock waves, not just through the kurdish community, but other migrant communities event because they feel that they are on the receiving end. this particular cultural center had identified itself to the police, told them that this is an area. busy they need to send reinforcement and secure it further, and now it has come under attack. she kurdish refugees are dead. and according to the kurdish protest of the police has always been there just to stop them, not to secure them in the past. if you remember the attacks that have been carried out against the wider community where the attacker was not somebody from a minority group, they have been immediately, almost labeled as terrorist attacks either by the media,

the dublin. and here in this incident, this attack a 69 year old man who had a previous history of violence against migrant, carried out multiple tags. last year he wounded 3 people with swords and jim for a year, and that he was able to come out and carry out just attacked. was able to procure weapons, an automatic gun with dozens and dozens of grounds. so the kurdish community is angry saying, why is the government not calling it a terrorist attack when it is done so in the past for something even miner than this? well, mcclure severe all lou is a kurdish offense. analysts for the voice of america joins us now from washington, dc. good to have you with us. first of all, explain to us why this is really hit home for so many codes from you. first of all, this is not the 1st time and attack has been happening in europe and in france, parties of europe. this is the 2nd time in almost

a week is the 10th anniversary of and other shooting the high profile, cody schuman murder. so people are very, very angry that they are not being protected. the 1st attack has not been sold. this has encouraged the 2nd attack and they're worried that the committee that we have been talking with every what is next. if they are not feeling safe in, in europe, how do they feel safe? that's why the angry you see on the state that one of the community leaders are expecting government to be. that there are no other nation of bro right next to the attack. and because people are feeling insecure, you're feeling unsafe, they believe that the community leaders believe that this is organized attack against the church. people like me emphasize that into the same speed that it's an

ethnic move at the diverse part of parties. iran, you see that it's an easier, more guns, 11 east african, other part of african nation was only 3 codes. the latest attack, one cultural center and 2, this is that's why they are convinced that this is a 2nd against them. and they feel that the french government is not doing enough to protect them. first, a label to attack like debate. they see a terror attacks. second, they're not doing enough to protect them. that's why the anger is not on the white people in different parts of europe. are going running towards to declare this point, i think them it on that point explain to international viewers why they is this sensitivity, ovo, whether or not the attack is investigated as a terror attack, or simply as a racist attack. explain the background to people why that's important to some of

the protesters. first of all, like i said, you know, we can't ever serial major attack happening parties in close to the yet we attack happen entity and important community leaders. market 3, remember kill. and they believed the gay dead. they some belief that the 1st attack was or orchestrated or supported by a turkey and now some speaker that this might be turkey, some bigger than some other groups, extremism groups. but the problem here is the, the current is this, they don't feel safe. cars aren't mainly, and if it's, your community became in their home countries feeling, vor traumatic society. they want to feel safe, because most of them are revenue they were given right there. it is. not that come to day work that they pay taxes, they want to feel safe. but when the attack is not characterized, correct, mean they're real. this will be, you were an open way to new attacks. to put it,

i was talking yesterday and today this is what is next. so what is next? they're going to come and kill us in our arms. how come we are not feeding safe in it parties in europe? because we are a technical issue for our childish identity. if it was a racial attack, no, then could be some other stores were trying to do this to be a locations are not in the same building. according to the what the sort of told me, the headphone is few 100 meters far from the cultural center. so the perpetrator, i knew that they are turkish businesses, they say, and then a, since this is not a name correctly, this is not announce categorized correctly. the fear is this, that of dead to panic is this that there they are be more vulnerable to further attacks. because if they are not feeling safe here, where else they will be safe, i repeat consider that as the 2nd, the credit of the civilization. that's why they as a credit government correctly and protect it,

no attack will happen in the future. so now we know the suspect was jailed. he was implicated in an earlier attack that one didn't target codes, but it, it was a violent the cycle. well understand on people from an immigrant or migrant background, do you think there was a security lapse here? did the sources ice eat ice it? they believe that they believe that that branch of government forensic your did not do a appropriate job. this is we have been talking to since yesterday. they say for example, the bullet arrived 3040 minutes after it was important. the kurdish committee members called the perpetrator handed him to the police. the ambulance arrived late . so i don't know. but looking from the church perspective, some things are not done appropriately. that's what this deepens the distrust. this deepens the insecurity among the church. so again, the leaders open colon if the 1st incident, the 1st kurdish,

or 100 against drugs courtesy noodles were resolved. if this was prevented, this could not have happened because they see they see that things are not being appropriately. again, this may lead to further attacks the church that like the problem lies. so natural and also one things i me and one lady told me one of the senior people. and they were disappointed that the entire minister came to the incident location, but they don't speak english leaders. they are expecting, i didn't expect more to be listened to with hurt to me and listen, what do you feel about what they go through? this also makes the problem, i can deeper. so why is it that they are not working right now? that's an important point. thank you for making it so much more thoughts of it all . are there. thank you.

at least a people have been killed in a rush and strike in southern ukraine. 58 others were injured in the attack and had san city was retaken by ukrainian troops last month. and what was a major sat back from moscow's warren ukraine, shall stratford has the latest from keith. what we're being told is that this attack happened around about 11 a. m local time this morning, hitting a central area of the city, a shopping and residential area. the local authorities, they're telling us that is around about $70000.00 people in the city as we speak, many people had returned to the city many more people who returned to the city in the immediate few days off or it was liberated around november, the 10th or the 11th, but then when shilling started, they moved out again. the civil administration also telling us that some of the worst hit areas in these daily shelling staley effects in

a neighborhood on the, immediately on the northern banks of the denise river. population in those neighbors, around 8000 people, the authorities, they're saying that there are constant sniper and shelling attacks in there. but the kind of severity of this attacking the central area of the city is very worrying date, of course, like the russians and the ukrainians always deny that they are targeting civilian infrastructure. civilian areas. we do know though that both sides use occasionally a band in civilian buildings to, to base troops from. so this is obviously, as you can imagine, a worrying development, a terrifying, terrifying experience for, for the thousands of people inside care of san an arctic blast as effect, the millions of people in north america. winter storm elliot is enveloping much of the us and canada. meteorologists are calling it's a once in

a generation event. it stretches from the east to the west coast and from north to south. it covers more than 3000 kilometers from the us mexico border right up to quebec. more than 200000000 americans are under severe weather advisories, while at least one warning has been issued in every canadian province and territory . more than 8000 flights have been cancelled due to a strong winds and heavy snow disrupting holiday travel plans. the cold snap is even affecting southern states, such as texas, where sub 0 temperatures are rare for the north is expected to drop below minus 17 degrees celsius. temperatures in some areas are forecast to drop as low as minus $45.00 celsius experts warm. this could lead to frostbite in 5 to 10 minutes. awesome. and jordan reports dreaming of a white christmas sounds romantic for song. but

for millions of people in the us this holiday weekend, it's more like a nightmare. a massive winter storm from canada has brought sub freezing temperatures and heavy snow to most of the country, as well as nationwide flight disruptions. power outages and pipe breaks and the threat of frostbite and hypothermia, particularly for those without shelter. jagow and call their premium on close on. i think most winters we unfortunately deal is some of our neighbors who are living outside the weather against volleyball. it's, 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 works 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 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 over 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 with rosalind jordan al jazeera andy see chicago. brewster has more in the severe conditions from the u. s. state of michigan, clear 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 it's not just the snow. it's also the wind. at some point there are breaks in the snow, but you can tell because of the wind whipping the snow around. still had an al jazeera, a cast tanker explosion in south africa, least 8 people. dad didn't even run boca letter qu in fiji, 16 years ago. now he's back in our after a close election, right? ah,

worldwide. thousands of supporters of india's main opposition party are marching through the capital. new delhi have been crossing the country for more than 3 months and was seen as a show of strength by the indian national congress. the party was once india's largest, but now governs only 3 of $28.00 states. the march is expected to continue until february. probably michelle has more from new delhi houses. the people have gathered to join one of in just most powerful 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 toner rights by the governing gucci. it comes as the congress is toggling to survive it down to one if its lowest sally's in parliament and only governance the state. meanwhile, prime minister in the reigns movie and the beach empty roommate incredibly popular . and on challenge this, by growing criticism,

there are concerns about the plight of minority drinking space for descent, as well as the government handling of the pandemic and the economy. 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, analysts say that the own is to challenge the b g p and voted accountable, now lies with smaller regional parties. when i was 2022 comes to an end, lebanon is without an executive authority state. institutions are collapsing, and politicians are failed to mitigate the impact of an economy in free fall. so the whole, those take a 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 salaries to public employ use 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. 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 uncertain 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 the head of state, a government can't be formed. it's an unprecedented vacuum that delays efforts to revive the economy shop. 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 that nothing will change, even if the elective president,

because the same politicians responsible for running the economy into the ground are still in power. there's been no accountability for a crisis that destroyed the lives of so many. instead, lebanon has become a failed state. so there, osha zita, beirut says if any rom booker has been confirmed as fiji new prime minister, ending days of political deadlock parliament narrowly voted in favor of the former coolie, the officer and inconclusive election of this month, and has served this prime minister twice. his last government was toppled by outgoing leader frank by new rama who had been in power of 16. the is what i'm book and now has a 3 party coalition. we say, marvell know is the fiji correspondence. abc use astray via g explains what people's expectations are now from the new government. the hope now for most people is that this will be

a stable government given that the last 2 years has been one of the one that most people here in p g as having been with human rights records that were not exactly admirable. and with a history of not really comes out to the public or the other side of parliament. so there is a lot of hope amongst the genes here in the country as well as outside that this will be a government of national unity. one that has more than one party, which already makes it very different from the really did you 1st party that had the g? i'm under it some for 16 years. he has said to australian media as well in international and you're dealing media that he is likely to go with its traditional partner. just traditional partners are across the street and then 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 foreign policy,

that he is likely to hold on to our sovereign power, which should be a little bit disconcerting for those watching the geopolitical development. here in the pacific. not christmas festivities are likely to be subdued in peru after 2 weeks of political and social turmoil for violence has affected sales, especially small businesses, and millions of people who lost their jobs. during the pandemic still trying to make ends meet marianna sanchez reports from lima anew is going to attract customers and getting to the 5th spirit, he hoped to sell his robot with some divine intervention. oh, sales are very low. they've gone down. but with god's blessing, everything is possible. oh, we must chamber of commerce as christmas. sales are 33 percent. it's a blow to the economy in the biggest shopping season of the year. how many people
