french capital. did which demonstrate to the rang ripped authorities response to the attack on friday, which killed 3 refugees? we want answers from the police. why did it take so long for them to respond to the attack? why have they not designated this a federalist attack? and why wouldn't security provided through the coaching center or it had earlier be the asked for your pin number or represented from jordan. we've been working on the 10th anniversary of the killing about 3 comrades. 10 years later we the kurdish women are still asking for justice and now again, a blood is spilled in france. we are angry and the french state is responsible oh, to remain confined to one, wherever the police and log into compass. goodish demonstrate to see the bullets fired the attack were filled by every member of the community of the protest. her calm down here in paris, the police and security services are out enforced. clearing the protesters from this, this is going from the public square to brazil square,

their demands, the anger is unlikely to go away from them very well. the 0 or yasser latino is a political analyst and civil rights activists. he says the french government has helped to normalize racism within a year. is the presidency of money. what am i cause further? exacerbated social attentions and seems like this one are not a surprise, a given the how to the situation is in france and the fact that the attack was carried in broad daylight in various despite front flooding. but the most stringent counts are theories and laws in 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 civil attack being can read by a person who idea is to forward ideas. this same idea have been promoted by him. by the way, my call for the past 5 years, the, the further location of the mac or government was to in fact

ascending my see the police present as people for the to get there are in the aftermath of the doctor. please commemorate the death of 3 or the persons. now blinding blizzards, freezing, rain, and life threatening cold have gripped large parts of the united states. the storm is almost unprecedented in its scope, stretching from the great lakes near canada to the rio grande day along the border with mexico. 2 thirds of the country is on the weather warnings. high wind saw the mercury plunged to minus 18 degrees celsius on friday, and el paso, texas, where sub 0 temperatures are rare. the coldest place in the u. s. was the remote montana town of hubbard which hit a low of minus 39 degrees rising to minus 28. that was just before noon. algebra shopper tansy has been reporting on this from washington. the. the runs of the storm on saturday was hitting upstate new york and the great

lakes with snow full and high winds, many enough strand in the homes of christmas. i lived in what you might call the stereotypical american suburbs. you can picture that and i cannot walk to the sidewalk in front of my house about 20 meters from my front door. thousands and thousands and thousands of people here and just in western new york state have lost power for a period of hours. and they are just coping with extra blankets and lots of christmas sweaters. despite an official ban on driving in some areas there with is that many had ventured up anyway that the worst was over only to get stranded. this may turn out to be the worst storm in our community history. there are still likely hundreds of people still stuck in vehicles including individuals who tried to drive out in the late night hours last night. this is the festive season in the us, one of the busiest travel periods of the year. and even though thousands of flight

delays and cancellations were reported, some passengers were determined to complete the holiday travel. our whole airport shut down. so we drove to omaha, nebraska, got on a flight there. then jer, then d, c, delayed in d, c. an hour here. yeah, even though winter still elliot has moved way to the north. it's awesome. out of freezing temperatures mean cities from pennsylvania to florida being told to expect the coldest christmas on record. although climate scientists say it's difficult to ascribe a single weather event. the climate change. what we are seeing is in keeping with the models they've been moving about for years, a warming object disrupting the jet stream and plunging polar southwards, more and more frequently. and just in general, an increase in a variety of extreme weather events. she had time to see al jazeera washington,

well, andy parker as a meteorologist in buffalo, new york, which has been hit hard by the storm. and you explained to us what's been happening there? what the conditions alike? correct. yeah, that artic plunge, pursed, pushed across lake erie and as it did it scooped up a lot of moisture and created a very small scale effect called lake effect snow. it's where a band of snow develops. it is only a couple of miles wide, but within that, anyone experiences what we call snow blindness or white outs, where you can't see the front of your car. if you're in it to drive at that point, people can't figure out where to go. they become stranded and rescue is not possible either because the vehicle is there, no one can see it. and even the e. m ts and emergency medical staff can't get around. this band is continuing for now over 24 hours. it is going to slide and packed different communities. it went just to the north of buffalo, and that's where it's dropped more than 2 feet of snow. and

a lot of this is going sideways in 60 miles our width. that's what creates that white out condition or snow blindness. and it also takes that 2 feet of snow and turns them into 8 foot drifts, which makes getting through roads almost impassable. and we were hearing that people were actually getting into their cars because they're very keen to travel at the festive period for christmas. they had anticipated that the conditions might improve, how people coping and you, you hearing about people being stuck in that cause in an emergency. yeah, this is one of the small scale effects of this where it may be okay where you are. but once you begin to travel, if you become stuck in this, that's when you're trapped and you can't get out. we're finding that a lot of folks are trying to be rescued, but their cell phones are starting to fail after 12 hours of being trapped in their vehicle. so they're reaching out any, any way that they can. and, and we're finding that as this begins to clear,

one area folks are getting out and trying to find these people who are in their cars. how long is this pattern of cold, likely to last? the pattern of cold for western new york is going to last into about mid week next week. and then the nation as a whole finds a bounce back. but it's really this short term problem. as we have this lake affects no band targeting in the area. and it continues to be on the move to where you are western yoke. buffalo, i think january, well for a lot of places in the u. s. and also here in europe, january is where the coldest month does not mean that it could get even was in when we get to january or is it just the weather is just too volatile to predict. now, this particular weather system was one of the largest weather systems as far as strength to affect the eastern great lakes in more than a decade. and the cold that came with it was part of it. but it was really the strength of the system and the wind that it drove across was the open waters of

lake erie. and that's what created this effect of the snow. if it wasn't for the snow, the cold is least of our worries. it's that snow when the combination that traps people and then the cold is the thing that, that provides the killing element to this storm. it's certainly made conditions on the road and even people might be stuck in the homes, extremely treacherous. i thank you very much for breaking it down for us. i do appreciate it. and the park there in buffalo, new york, heavy snow in japan as it is also quite serious. it's now killed 13 people since the middle of the month. 80 hours have been injured areas across the country's north, east and west of and blanketed paralyzing traffic and causing large scale power blackouts. more than $10000.00 homes have also been without power. hong kong is aiming to reopen his orders with china for the 1st time in 3 years. despite a surge of covert cases on the mainland,

and use outlet in the eastern city of gwyn doe, is reporting the municipal health chief, the same that between 490530000 infections of being found there every day. but his comments were quickly censored, the provincial province official as reported now just 31 you infections. chinese national health commission says around 4100 cases recorded nationwide on friday. but across the country that have been shortages and pharmaceutical pharmacies, packs at the hospital wards and backlogs crematorium, and funeral homes suggesting that there has been a massive surge in infections. china has been dismantling at 0 cove, its strategy after a wave of rare anti government protests. we go to ukraine now regional governor is saying 10 people have been killed in a rush, an air strike on her san city in southern ukraine. 58 others were injured in the attack, which the president condemned as killing for the sake of intimidation and pleasure

. city was retaken by ukrainian troops last month in a major setback for moscow's war. video, released by harrison officials, showed bodies yet to be recovered. emergency work as tending to the injured in the streets of the city or child stratford brings us more from keith. 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 have returned to the city. in the immediate few days, all for it was liberated around november, the 10th, or 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 neighborhoods of around 8000 people, the authorities 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, 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 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 san. meanwhile, russian authorities at demolishing the remains of mary of paul's historic theatre. hundreds of civilians are believed to have been killed by russian as strike in

march when they were using the theatre as a bomb shelter would. children had been painted in russian letters in front of it. building was reduced to a roofless rubble filled shell. ukraine says the carrying of the site is part of an attempt by russia to remove evidence that had targeted civilians. russia captured the southern ports as mary paul in may. will present ramirez lance, he is called on ukrainians to come together during his holiday address to the nation. semanski said residents will create their own christmas miracle by showing they remain strong in the face of russian attacks. joy will drawn gimme godson as that me was no camera. kazi, drones can extinguish the christmas dawn, but we will see its glow even under ground in a bomb shelter, which we will fill our hearts with warmth and light to sleep. no missiles can hurt them, they will break against our steel spirit, and our fight will continue unabated steadily. it's not threatened by planned or

emergency blackouts, and we will never feel a lack of courage and invincibility. but more than one is the child the so we will celebration our holidays. as always harvest we will smile and rejoice as always. the difference is one. we will not wait for a miracle because we will create it ourselves. it was in use our life from london, still ed. what a terrible year it's been for ukraine. russia's invasion is brought, indescribable suffering, but also grit and determination on rory talons in peer. 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 and a cross country march led by indian opposition leader russell gandhi reaches the capital as his congress party tries to turn its fortunes around. ah,

afghanistan's taliban has ordered all local and foreign non governmental organizations to stop their female employees coming to work in it's late to scroll down on women's rights. it says some and jo workers had not adhered to the taliban interpretation of islamic dress codes for women. the european union has condemned the bond, which the un has now said is going to impact many of its programs in the country. meanwhile, taliban security forces have used water cannon sticks and battens to disperse women protesting in the western city of herat. earlier this week the government announced an immediate ban on women. attending university girls in afghanistan had already been excluded from most secondary schools. my room ha ha ha, ha ha ha. we have come to day to demand our right to education. we are not carrying any weapons, but the taliban forced us to come to this narrow street. and then they used water

cannon on us. we all got wet and many girls fell down. they are scared of our voices. we want our right afghans. security forces have also been seen dispersing protests in the southern city of kandahar. sources say they fight live bullets and assaulted a number of protest as before breaking up, the crowds or schoolers are drawn as a former afghan, used representative to the united nations. she joins us live now from new york. how worried to you about the impact? this is going to have on afghanistan and particularly women's access to angio support. well, thank you very much for having me. the agenda. i thought it was happening and then it's done. it begun when the tyler bond didn't allow women to show up in their work . this is lost here and it continued when the thought of on shut down the female

going to school and then following degrees abandoned aloud. they didn't allow the women to show up in public places parks or other places and unfortunately to yesterday into their to more coming which is very, very disheartening. it means that all a bond are totally erasing of gun woman from society, from public eye and for from human life and hardening because it doesn't affect us in long term. and short term structural orleans are happening in dennison and strips avoidance. usually you decide to, towards a diag one be witnessing out the protests are being cheated in a very while and we're on the female producers are being arrested and her

protests are being arrested and assaulted by abundance. so all of these incidents are an indication that we are going to load a very dark future and a with binding the female workers from me. let me ask you about that because you know, it comes at a time when of kind of stone is facing food shortages, a collapse economy as your monitoring crisis and g o activities had already been restricted in terms of access to certain parts of the country and now, the humanitarian coordinator is saying that many un operations carried out by n g owes, are going to be affected. so the un joe is going to be affected by this order on women. what is this going to mean for women being able to access, you know, monetary and aid and support at a time of suffering. the majority of the humanitarian aid and

services are being delivered by fema stuff to female receiver. so obviously if there is no fema stuff, there will be no, you wanted to have an aid for those marginalized very deprived women in remote areas of venison. so and moreover the fema stuff, majority of them are the big mentors of their family. families to if they are not allowed to go to the work, how are they going to support their families? and moreover, i believe that is the time has come, that the international community, and especially the that you know, my should stop relieving and sending $40000000.00 to have dentist. and i think the time has come to take tangible to its actions against a dollar bond, because i believe that they are living in their comfort zone. the money that they have been receiving. it's giving them a momentum of power to act based on their own notions and they are like doing

arbitrary actions and reusing very harmful decrees and it, it. so i think unice actions are needed needed from international community action. or, i mean, you know, obviously there is supposed to be, some would say they'd be concerned about depriving us stone of funds and perhaps it could effect people, the civilian population as well. what about the role of muslim countries in sort of speaking out about these policies and saying there is no justification within islam for this? what more can they do to try and restore rights to women and golf? all the a receiving from islamic state are some statements and some media statements which is not adequate in the current situation. we need a strong and tangible mediation from, from atlantic state. for example. the head of those states must conduct

dialogues with the, with the thought of a new dose and restrict them to, to change their behavior. and to change the policy of that woman. because at the end of the day, this is actually hurting the image of the slum in front of the entire world. and this is actually hurting that the, that the notion of the slam that image of muslims. and this is the responsibility comes to every islamic state, to, to, to stop dollar bon and to do their, to the full for their responsibility toward their muslim sisters. and i've got it. thank you very much cal address and ron joining a staff from the okay, i appreciate it. we're going to development in iran now where the supreme court says it will accept the appeal of wrapping some on, say de seen spin sentence to death after participating in anti government demonstrations. the country's judiciary is confirmed. the death sentence of another

protest ya scene who wraps about inequality, oppression and unemployment is accused trying to kill security forces and set rubbish bins on fire. he denies all the charges to people linked to an ongoing protest in iran, of so far been executed. demonstrations are triggered by the death of mass armenian police custody in september, thousands of supporters of india's main opposition party of march, the capital new delhi. they've been crossing the country for more than 3 months. and what seen as a show of strength by the indian national congress, thousands of support his join role gandhi, the most prominent face of the congress party. as he arrived in the indian capital poverty. michelle reports from new delhi. oh, houses of people in new delhi joined supporters of the indian national congress party. most are here for this man. rock gandhi is been needing a marty cough in the after 3 months walking housings of kilometers,

often joined by celebrities. he says his aim is to united country polarized by the governing b, j. p. o m no, be up. this march is for common people like us because the gum, this message is reaching us, but our message and our issues are not reaching the government. that's why i'm joining behold, dante's march gandhi is the most powerful naming ended politics. 3 members of the family have served as prime minister, and it just made national opposition. party. congress governed india for more than 50. yes. but now it's down to one of its lowest tallies in parliament and is struggling to survive. meanwhile, the governing bgp enjoys unprecedented support. and prime minister the ranger movie has redefined indian politics. although there are growing concerns about its handling of the economy. shrinking space for descent and rights of minority groups for the congress to pose a viable challenge, it would have to address allegations of corruption and nepotism within its ranks.

congress recently elected a new president the 1st from outside the gandhi family in 24 years. the party says the march has helped it reconnect with people. and i think i like this also tells people who really my leader i hold on the is because so much of money, so much of corporate power. and so much of mindset, whether it's on the troll armies or the b j. b was spent to destroy brand, randi, and a lot of people bought it. but some political analysts see a weak congress could make way for other players ahead of general elections in 2024 at the moment. what it seems like the that the media pie has a much stronger bees. and emmans governing with her at least nashville is governing with a bug bigger mandy bonnie but him states as fi ah competition. so in few years, you might see a body that gets replaced, but that reduces congress as emerges other, our opposition gandhi will march for another 700 kilometers over the next few weeks

. he says he's not doing it to get food, but the party hopes it'll give much needed momentum as it fights for relevance. pardon him at the al jazeera, you deli city veney. rebecca has been confirmed as fi jeez, new prime minister ending days of political deadlock parliament narrowly voted in favor, the former cooley der after an inconclusive election earlier this month. or because such served as prime minister twice already is last. government was toppled by outgoing need at frank vine. m a rama. another former cooley da who've been in power for 16 years or bouquet. now had a 3 party coalition. marcel, to bring you after a quick break, the gas tank or explodes in south africa. and people off the getting stuck on the bridge and no president, no government and economy in free fall. we look back at the past year in lebanon.

february the 24th 2022. the day everything changed for ukraine. oh, through the chaos, one thing was clear. months of military filled up. could be no bluff. this was a russian invasion from belarus, southern russia and crimea troops, tanks and aircraft poured across borders, fleeing the russian blitzkrieg civilians, crowded train stations and highways. hundreds of thousands of women and children headed abroad. men had to stay devised. my has been torn apart. 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 e haul. he helped defend in a pin, a key of suburb that saw fierce fighting. he who described to me what it had been like woman, after a whole new war. i had no fear. i don't know why we were all determined not to give up our land. we understood a weapons weak against their arm or what we had modulation because of fierce ukrainian resistance. russia invasion wasn't going well. at the end of march, after huge losses of men and machinery, russia abandoned this attempt to seize key if 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 us to see her and her grief through spring summer,

autumn. and now to winter. when the russians abducted her son didn't take him far. just 200 meters down the road to the pig farm for his body was found to be no. but we're to you. 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 village jersey. do you want me? you look at 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. will you go to lay as if you were sleeping in the new spot in the east? the battle for don bass became an attrition of grind. but to the south, russia had more to show for its efforts. murray dupel 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 retook 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. 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. miller lives in a smoke blackens bomb damaged apartment block in the pin. yet you still counts itself 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 had something live at the last every. 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 of them come from this country off pretty much any ukraine what they expect for 2023. and they only have one on so victory for each one and out a 0 p. if 22 people have died after a fire tall through a nursing home in russia, the blaze broke out in the siberian city of camera over investigator suspect a faulty boiler was the cause of the private home is reported to have been operating illegally. a criminal investigation is on the way now to libya,

we have. so it is natural that you know, would want to do films. if you look at how the current industry developed, it was just about volume. people just kept creating and creeds, and people, loft, entertainment, people wanted to watch it. you have a lot of filmmakers as well now, who wanted to be standard, like we wanted to go places we wanted to have, you know, to, to have the proper structure. but then we are also have few makers who think that or who want our fields to cross, you know, to the tilt. so the global or north and you know, for the war to see because we now need the, the exposure. we need the film industry to be developed to that will have, you know, people can actually get paid and be able to leave off their earning, asked creators, for me or my hopes and dreams for my career in the industry would be that festival . to tell stories that very, you know, genuine, to me, it's very important for me to tell stories, i feel it to be seen by the world. now

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 claim, no, 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 are closing down off public institutions or professors at the lebanese universities are no longer gone to work. how people are desperate. some have stormed banks at times, armed, demanding their own money. their savings have been trapped by informal capital controls. since the onset of the economic crisis, lebanon's financial crisis entered is 4th year with losses amounting to more than

$70000000000.00. the world bank says the country's current and future states on the assets public real estate potential but uncertain oil and gas revenues combined 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. santa hood, their elders, eda, beirut, allan minium and zinc smelt as a cross here at the cutting production all closing down altogether. the global energy crisis has made electricity to expensive power hungry factories, france and germany, government subsidies, a kicking in to save the metals industry from collapse. that's not happened in greece as john's rock las now reports from athens. this is one of europe's biggest ella, minium producers, but it's days could be numbered. greek heavy industry will receive 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 methods 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 must save 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 effect. many butcher ease, which depend on refrigeration, are being forced to shut their doors. and there's noticed says electricity costs have doubled this year for the actual course. when we're talking about small family businesses here. we try to keep our costs low so that we can stay open our loft, electricity bill was more than $9000.00, and we paid $6000.00. the government subsidy certainly helps profit margins a tiny bit. we are viable. so the question is, how long will the subsidy last game? 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

being forced to spend twice that amount from the excess profits. all of that money together represents as much income as greece made this year from tourism. it's 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, close al jazeera athens passengers. here in the u. k. of had to scramble to catch the train. says a further strike, cause commute. a disruption on christmas eve. persons were asked to travel only if absolutely necessary as thousands of rail and transport workers stage to walk out on saturday evening bail upright as of one travellers to avoid the trains until the 9th of january. still out for you on this news out from london.
