french police are fired tear gas as a demonstration, organized by kurdish activists and anti racism groups. thousands of people have been rallying against the shooting of 3 people at a kurdish cultural center in paris on friday. they want to force east to declare the shooting a terror attack, a not a racially motivated incident. se kurds were targeted. police have arrested a 69 year old man. to savage of aid 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 had 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. he carried out multiple attacks last year. he wounded 3 people with swords and jim for a year. and after he was able to come out and carry out, just attacked, was able to procure weapons, an automatic gotten with dozens and dozens of rounds. 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 are not slow. sorry all lou is a kurdish affairs and lists for the voice of america. he explains why this attack has hit the kurdish community so hard. this is not the 1st time and attack has been happening in europe and in france,

the news years. moreover, liberties african, other parts of african nations with only 3 kurdish latest attack, one cultural center and 2 coding businesses. that's why they are conveys that this is a take a 2nd against them. and they feel that the french government is not doing enough to protect them. first label that attack like debate. they see it's a terror attack. second, they're not doing enough to protect them. an arctic blast is affecting millions of people in north america. when the storm elliot is enveloping much of the us in canada meteorologist, so calling it a once in the generation event, it stretches from the east to the west coast and north the south. it covers more than 3000 kilometers from the us. mexico border run down to quebec on more than

200000000 americans are under severe weather advisories, while at least one warning has been issued in every canadian province and territory . the cold snap is even affecting southern states, such as texas, where sub 0 temperatures are rare. for the north, it's expected to drop below minus 17 degrees celsius. temperatures in some areas are full cost to drop as low as minus $45.00. se experts warn this could lead to frostbite in 5 to 10 minutes. rosalyn jordan reports dreaming of a white christmas sounds romantic for song. but for millions of people in the west 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 an 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 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 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 of we're from an eminent 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 trying to stay focused on the reason for the season in the face of intent. seasonal with rosalind jordan al jazeera as bringing shebra pansies live for us now from the east coast of us in washington, dc. she have our people coping with us. it depends where you are. i'm in here actually. when i see people on the streets, actually it's wound up a little bit is and i spoke to you at 3 hours ago and it was minus 20 degrees centigrade or it was minus 12 degrees centigrade with

a wind chill of minus 20 degrees. but now we're at a balmy minus 9 degrees celsius with a wind chill of minus 16. it is actually, it looks like we've got come to the worst of the fridge to her in washington d. c. at least the real fair is up north. now that's where the, the storm actually is. so that's it, that's the great lakes region of upstate new york. and that's where the snow and the winds are still howling and causing a great deal of chaos. the on the saddle, they, some of the weather pads, la, suggested things might improve sooner than had been expected. but we've been hearing from various local officials up there who are really wired now because it, that they, they suspect that a lot of people thought maybe the worst was over last night, perhaps, or friday night and the saturday and decided to get into their cars. and have got stranded completely, we're being told by local officials, i think hundreds of people moving stranded that to stay in their cars overnight. and that's, that's a real, real fear as far as but europe studies shows that that wish to travel during the

just outside the city of buffalo, kind of famous for it, snow. and that's because we have managed to keep the lights on, our electricity hasn't gone out. and that's just a coincidence. that's just a lucky break for me and my family, many thousands of people in this area, including some of my neighbors nearby. i have lost power for a period of time. they're keeping warm with gas fireplaces. they which many people have or wood burning fireplaces, or some of them attract relatives houses before the storm got to impassable and a family that i know. friends of ours said it's $42.00 degrees fahrenheit in their home right now and they are just coping with extra blankets and lots of christmas sweaters. i cannot walk to the sidewalk in front of my house about 20 meters from my front door, much less get to a grocery store. we did have good warning about the storm and its intensity.

a major setback for moscow's war on the ukraine? charl stradford has the laces from key if. what we're being told is that this attack happened around about 11 am 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 to return to the city. in the immediate few days all through it was liberated around november the 10th, the 11th. but then when shelling started, they moved out again. the civil administration also telling us that some of the worst hit areas in these daily shelling daily attacks in a neighborhood on the, immediately on the northern banks of the denise river population in those neighbors

around 8000 people. the authorities there saying that there are constant sniper and shelling attacks in there, but the kind of severity of this attacking the most central area of the city is very worrying date. of course, most the russians and the ukrainians always deny that they are targeting civilian infrastructure. civilian areas, we do know though that both sides use occasionally abandoned 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 sun. a gas tank has exploded in the south african city of box berg, killing 9 people. several fire fighters were injured while battling flames. the cause of the explosion, not yet clear. box book, is east of the economic hub of johannesburg near the international airport.

it was more like a ball for you know, these guys, so we like i this is 50 of the easy with the money 122 or the only notes when you say the i was been happy in that game. that venue went out. like, what's going on there, then we saw there was flames. we saw fi and the breeze, like what was going on, what's going on, didn't we saw it think, which was spanning thousands of supporters of india's main opposition party marching through the capital, new delhi. if in crossing the country for more than 3 months in what's been 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 states. march is expected to continue until february of natal is more from new delhi houses. the people have gathered to join one of in just most powerful men on these the side of 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 pgp homes as the congress. it's toggling to survive. it's down to one if it's lowest tardies in parliament and only goblins. the state. meanwhile, prime minister in the mo, the, and the beach, if the roommate incredibly popular and on challenge dislike, growing criticism. there are concerned about the plight of minority 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 month. oh, well, analysts say that the own is to challenge the b g p and go to the accountable. now

lies with smaller regional parties to have it on, sorry, is a journalist and political commentator. he says the march shows signs the opposition parties getting people behind it. it has certainly succeeded in reinvigorating the congress coder there is a certain momentum now an essential purpose as far as the congress workers are concerned. but when the bigger question is real, this enthusiasm that one witnesses on the seat convert itself into words, because certainly jane you hold on this image. the pgp used to use to say that he, 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 last the distance where he's put in the hard yard. he's done on 5 days from the rose from 6 am too late to be evening. that's no easy task. so it has done his image a good. it's really great at the party,

but we'll discover to towards that's the big challenge for the congress. the leaders are still fighting the factional battles each trying to put down the other . so the challenge will be to try and find, translate this into jasmine towards and because the yacht tra, auto walk at all, can do invigorate the kid up, but it cannot build an organization. and that is the work that the new president of the party, mr. molly, college and career are read to support of the god these and 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 its act together. it says more than a challenge to the b g. p. alimentary, a man, zinc smelters across europe are causing production of closing down altogether. a global energy crisis is made electricity at the power hungry factories too expensive. in france and germany, government subsidies kicking in to rescue the muscles industry from collapse. but in grace that hasn't happened, as john serrato explains from athens,

this is one of europe's biggest ela, minium producers. but it's days could be numbered. greek, heavy industry overseas electricity at fixed prices for a few more days. on january, the 1st contracts expire and prices will float at market rates of more than $300.00 per megawatt hour. compared to half that in northern europe, which is being subsidized. this plant may have to close unless the government steps in the industry association says factory closures would also be a setback for the fight against climate change. if we lose with us in europe, these metals are going to be important. the important metals will be produced mostly by countries that use cold as a fuel. some use oil and definitely they have

a much heavier footprint than european companies. that's why for the self sufficiency of europe and for the global, the carbon position. we've received the european metas industry. aluminum smelting requires vast quantities of electricity. it's only profitable if the power is cheap and the ukraine war has caused the prices of coal, oil, and gas to saw. a quarter of a 1000000 people working at non 1st metals plants across europe are at risk of losing their jobs. higher energy costs are having a ripple affect. many butchery which depend on refrigeration are being forced to shut their doors. and there's notice says electricity costs have doubled this year on the yahoo courses. when we're talking about small family businesses here, we try to keep our costs low so that we can stay open. our last electricity bill

was more than $9000.00, and we paid $6000.00. the government subsidy certainly helps profit margin to tiny, but we are viable. so the question is, how long will the subsidy last? agriculture and transport costs are also up more industries that depend on government support. the government is spending more than $5000000000.00 subsidizing electricity bills for households and businesses this year. and energy producers are being forced to spend twice that amount from their excess profits. all of that money together represent as much income as greece made this year from tourism its primary industry. so even if individual enterprises survived the energy crisis, greece as a whole is losing enormous amounts of money. the ukraine war is speeding up investment in renewable energy, but for now, governments are forced to offer fossil fuel subsidies to preserve jobs and livelihoods. jobs are open,

witnessing increasingly closing down off public institutions. professors at the lebanese 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 combines are worth only a fraction of 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 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 senator. there, osha, zita, beirut, a city bennett i'm book has been confirmed as fiji is new. prime minister ending days of political deadlock, palma narrowly voted in favor of the former cooley. thereafter the inconclusive

people here in p g as having been dictators 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 regions 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 makes it very different from the really did you 1st party that had fiji under it some for 16 years? be just traditional partners? are of course, australia and new zealand, and by extension of 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 shouldn't be a little bit disconcerting for those watching the geopolitical developments here in

the pacific. the irony of the fact that the government before this one is one tried to install a national identity. it's a very sore subject jeans. give them we have had racial tension in the past. we are the only country in the pacific region that is not homogeneous. we have a multitude of races. and so it was really important that a new government coming in is one that could give reassurance to the other races. mpg that is our descendants of indian labors. he had a british colonial rule as well as other pacific islanders that this is a government who is likely to take care of everyone, while of course, holding on to the platform. it's come in on and that's to protect the rights and indigenous people. still ahead on al jazeera, the future of nigeria, as film industry comes into focus with the help of a new generation of filmmakers. plus what a terrible year it's been, the ukraine,

russia's invasion is brought, indescribable suffering, but also grit and determination. i'm re challenge even later in the program. i'll be looking at what ukraine is lost in 2022, and what it hopes to win back in 2023. a hallow. we've got a fair bit of wet weather in the forecast for the middle east. over the next couple of days. you see this large band of cloud. it brought around 6 months worth of rainfall to northern parts of saudi arabia. and that where to whether sweeping across iraq towards key wait, easing into that so western side of iran at 20 to snow over the higher ground here . so it does stay disturbing and see how the weather weather becomes a little more expansive as we go through a sunday. right up to was a live answer. what were the sliding its way through here?

syria, lebanon, jordan, all saint cloud and right. pushing in from the atlantic. nothing further east was some heavy downpour. certainly a possibility. some snow over the turkish mountains in some rain even here in cottage. so we may say a little bit of wet weather as we go through monday and temperatures struggling to get around 20 celsius, staying little on the overcast side, over the next couple of days, a few showers to into the north east of africa. much of north africa will be dry and settle at risk when they, the hammer time when bringing some if the dust and sand this dust hayes, they're just around nisha pushing towards more. tavia, plenty of showers across central parts of africa through the tropic, some big down polls down towards malawi, or wonder wendy, seeing some heavy showers more. whether the south africa ah those on the move. so believe that's with

lou.

the washing out time to recap our headlines now. millions of north americans are under severe weather warnings as an arctic block to envelopes. large tools of the us and canada flights have been cancelled. roads blocked by snowdrifts and hundreds of thousands of household have no power. at least 8 people have been killed and 58 injured in a rush and strike on the southern ukrainian city of san ukraine. we took the port last month and the major set back from our french police, the $510.00 gas. this is demonstration organized by kurdish activists and anti racism groups. thousands of people are rallying against the shooting of 3 curves in

paris on friday. yeah, so lottie is a political analyst and civil rights activists. he says he's not surprised by the protests, because france has been under immense social pressure over the past decade. presidency of money, one mccoy, has it further exacerbated social tensions and seems like this one are not a surprise, a given to how tens the situation is in france. and the fact that the attack was carried in broad daylight in various despite fronts. having passed the most stringent counter terrorism laws of the past 20 years to no avail. and on top of it, the government does not want to acknowledge that this is in fact a temporary attack being carried by a person who idea is a 2 forward ideas. this same idea have been promoted by emmanuel michael for the past. for here is a, the further a pro cation of the, a mock whole government was to, in fact,

ascending my see the police presence as people tried to gather in the aftermath of the doctor. please commemorate the death of 3 kurdish persons the government past the so called to a domestic security law that has made that v for a state of emergency permanent, which means now the executive branch of power can arrest people without going before the judiciary. with the past in 2014 the law allowing master surveillance in the name of preventing these attacks. yet these attacks keep happening, that the government is directly responsible. not only for these are these abuse even laws. he's replacing road, obviously, making sure we have no results. but also for bending the far right to rich reagan, to warns of foreigners we have to we member the 2 year is the, for the passage of the us to parties of law. the fact that she hired dominant even

fleeing the russian blitzkrieg civilians, crowded train stations and highways. hundreds of thousands of women and children headed abroad. men had to stay revised. my house being torn apart. 3, 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 he who he helped defend in a pin, a key of suburb that saw the fierce fighting. he who described to me what it had been like, well man, after 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. you know, we're, we're q. we will be through the window. i saw him been taken out. it's good. there

was a car outside they've taken from one of the villagers. do you feel when you the you liberally 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. eagerly as if he were sleeping in the new 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, there was some of you. this was moscow's response running shows of military options

. russia launch drones and cruise missiles at ukraine's energy grid. an attempt to freeze the country into submission as winter approached, wide spread blackouts in sub 0, temperatures are a challenge for everyone, particularly those without much money. the miller lives in a smoke blackens bomb damaged apartment block in the pin. yet you still can't self lucky. or hear from a 3rd, to be honest, my heart bleeds seeing these ruins, but we are alive. we covered the windows with foam, we had hope because we have something live at the last. everything as 2022 ends, ukrainians leave behind them a year of indescribable suffering. but they take with them a unity and a will to win that this country admiration from around the world. there are still many people who doubt that ukraine can ultimately prevail against the might

of russia. but few if any them come from this country off pretty much any ukraine what they expect for 2023 and they only have one on so victory already. tenants out there at least 20 people have died after 5 blaze through a nursing home in russia. it happened in the siberian city of cam rover investigates, a suspect the faulty boiler was the cause. the private home was reportedly operating illegally. criminal investigation is underway now came the fast though, as ordered the un coordinator in the country to leave. barbara massey was declared persona non grata, so she decided to withdraw on essential un staff from like a do go. the west african nation is on the military rule off the to cruise this year. the government says mans these move, discredited security efforts. we had heard in mrs. barbara predicted camps and

working funds in the coming month. 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 a support structure, not an organization and advocates to still me over country. nigeria has one of the world's largest film industries production, so steadily grown in scale since it started in the 1900. 61 now produces thousands of features every year. but as one the young filmmaker told al jazeera, it's more about quality than quantity. i am telling danny you 31 years old and i am a filmmaker in lagos, nigeria. i think that from right from when i was very young, i've always liked the media. my father was a journalist, so i mean a print journalist. but then i watch the tv and, you know, tell myself i want to be on tv like this person, you know, that's up for feel making then it's about storytelling. i always get inspiration to

tell stories and the come to mean different formats. so, you know, there's some stories they'll come to you and you know that this can work for radio, for example. he has to be on tv, or he has to be a documentary that some stories they'll come to you and then, i mean, it will just be a feel. so it was, that was how it started for the year of us. i wanna like the lightest stakeholders in the niger and film industry. so i think that the europe as it's, it's a cultural thing we have is a very beautiful culture. we have dads, we have drums, we have. so it is natural that, you know, would want to do things. if you look at how the current industry developed, it was just about volume people just kept creating and create people who loved entertainment. people wanted to watch if you have a lot of filmmakers as well. now, who want it to be done, like we want to go places we want it to have, you know, to, to have the proper structure. but then we also have to make us who think that, oh,

who want our fields to cross, you know, to the, to the global, not. and you know, for the want to see because we now need the exposure. we need a few minutes just to be develop, so that will have, you know, people can actually get paid and be able to leave off earning, ask creators for me. my hopes and dreams for my career in the industry would be that festival. to tell stories are very genuine. to me, it's very important for me to tell stories, i feel the to be seen by the world. a report by ethiopian investigators is blamed a software failure for the crash of a boeing 737 max plane in 2019 a 157 people were killed when e. c, o, p and airlines, jet crash minutes off to take off from addis ababa. the findings correspond with previous investigations which blame the mo, models anti stole system for sending the plan into an uncontrollable dive. the

crash force boeing to ground all 737, max planes worldwide. and after the flight took off from adams out of the reports established there was an immediate failure of the advance software system which control the angle of flight causing the plane to crash. within minutes of the accident killed all 157 crew and passengers aboard. it was the 2nd crash within months for the same model of plane us official find boeing, $200000000.00 over misleading assurances over the safety of the airline. terry toes is a former airline pilots and an airline safety commentator, who joins us from ry in the united kingdom. good to have you with us. so 1st of all, were there any surprises in this report given that this crash had been investigated by others before?

not that i'm aware of that, i think to say that it was just a software system is a rather simplistic explanation. i think he goes, must see, but will take us deeper then please. well, basically the same so that they refer to the failed was the only sensor that told the system that the aircraft was flying at to steep angle. it's 2nd, it's general principles to rely on one of anything in a b, and you always have redundancy. that should have been the fence or on the other side of the aircraft should have been speaking to another so that they knew the warning was a whole swan. secondly, the anti solar system is you. the system was put into the claim without the knowledge of the pilots and they had, they didn't know it existed and they had no training on how to disabling if any fault occurred. so i have never heard of that ever happening in any across design

ever before. well, and here i come, now i'm going to try and simplify all that and hopefully not get it wrong, but a failure of senses and the lack of training. how can something like this happen in an industry which tests and trains so much? that is, of course, the $64000.00 question and the answer is broadly the federal aviation administration had cd. they had boeing to have their own supervisors to agree design changes and probably on the basis of economics. in other words, boeing marking their own home work. this should never ever been allowed to happen because they shouldn't be the oversight of any new design. and it should have been picked up as early acceptable designed in the very 1st place. in the book that i

referred to, when i wrote that was out this year, i talk about the reason track roth accidents. and this is the only one that it was entirely down. so the full within the aircraft itself that is virtually unknown. have all these issues now being dealt with? well, basically everybody got a good spanking over this, although to be for the only $200000000.00 fine. when you consider what happened, i think is no more than a slap on the wrist. the federal aviation administration had to itself approve the modifications the boeing coding place to rectify all this problem, the crews obviously now know that the same system exists. i mean, when you change to a new aircraft type, you're in the classroom for

a few weeks. so learning about all the systems i have never ever known a situation in which the pilots did not know that a system existed and had that no lining on it. right. that doesn't help in time i did up dealt with hopefully thanks so much. you're welcome. palestinians in the occupied west bank. com preparing for christmas with live music and parades near the church of the nativity in bethlehem. the marching bands have been filling the streets, says, pilgrims and worshippers, lucon and celebrations are little more subdued this year. following months of violent confrontations to this ready forces for you in his calling, the deadliest since 2006. ah, from bethlehem to the world, palestinian say the christmas message of hope started from their small city. they

government is working to keep christians and their land. i might have had this festive mood, is one way of maintaining the christian presence here. we're also working with the world's churches to help. christian stay is rose, doing everything to kick us out, but we count about to keep christian palestinians in their lance. this christmas come lathrop lobby here from helen did. according to the you, 1022 wide. and sadly mindy occupied was banking with people to say 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 had to take a pause. the day it was supposed to make its way to the city of ramallah. a general strike was announced to mourn the death of a palestinian prisoner in an israeli jailed across palestine. people remember the

details of palestinians live is controlled by israel's occupation. so people tell us that they're steadfastness, that the fact that they are still celebrating they're still holding their feet and celebrations is just a testament to the resilience is part of their struggle and we've seen palestinian fake out to the manger square. celebrating scouts, people are dancing with bagpipes. we listen to nice music from the scout group, so that the more the here, while it has been gloomy, all of this year, people tell you that celebration is indeed a part of their struggle. and i'm joined here now by an activist who was from bethlehem itself. george dan, you're the co founder of the rights movement campaign, your site from jerusalem, but it is a sister town to bethlehem. how did you see the celebration this year?

in the weight. got especially with the unlimited support that by the stand receive . that was a lot of motivation for us. better stimulus is the edith had been as a to propaganda machine have been telling us that we have to just give and give up and given to to they're saying they're out of words is now on their side. they find new strategies to get deed without def, excluding the palestinians, but it's obviously not true when you're old was that it wasn't too. and this has been a very hopeful positive message that resonated with us. thank you so much, george. they dan, and we've heard people talk about whole that they've seen in the world cup by their palestinian flag. being great people here tell us that they are full thing for fees . we're just minutes away or are hours away, i should say from the midnight mast. we're expecting the latin factory to had over the midnight mast here, advent nativity, church, and bethlehem. i thanks so much that christmas festivities are likely to be subdued in peru after 2 weeks of political and social turmoil. the violence is effected

because of the qu, prices have gone up, the economy is very bad. and so our sales, political and social turmoil have dampened festivities. highway blockades, cost transport costs to increase in many stores closed during the unrest. or if at the warbler, there's been a lot of uncertainty and fear. people don't go out to shop. we had to close the doors because of people who wanted to lose legality or shut his door. as a result, he says, sales are 40 percent lower than they were last year. another say the feeling of instability, refrains consumers from buying too many products. people prefer to buy food and keep their savings untouched. little bit 19, pandemic left nearly 4000000 people without a job. yes,
