hearing a chance of freedom, we're hearing chance for justice and revenge as well. and what these people are calling for is justice the calling for it now. and they're not happy with the way the government have dealt with this incident so far away in miss sasha a tier attack planned and carried out by a racist, an attack against the kurdish community and against the kurdish women. the kurdish community wants the french state to tell the truth, the victims were refugees and the government didn't give them proper protection. one of them was here for 2 years, and she didn't even have proper documents. we were asking for protection before, but now we want just as continents of jordan, what they are saying is that they don't deny that this was a somebody who was a racist to get out the fact that this needs to be declared it. there's incident so that there can be a proper investigation. south korea says it's 5 warning shots when several north korea drones entered its air space. a cool media se the drones were detected in

civilian areas in junky province. south korea's military dispatched jets and helicopters and they did that in order to respond to the threat 3 days earlier. south korea accused north korea relaunching to short range ballistic missiles or unit kim has been following these latest developments. she has more from sol, bearing from south korea's joint chiefs of staff who said that there were at least 5 unmanned aerial vehicles detected since 10 30 am this morning. apparently one of them flying past us. border area, town of pud, you before getting as far south as the north part of the capital sol. there were at least 4 other drones detected over a congo island that is an island near the border area on the west coast. and of course, the military here condemning this as clear provocation as it does violate south

koreans sovereign airspace. now, other than trying to shoot down these drones throughout the afternoon, south korea also took corresponding measures. we are learning that south korea military sent manned and unmanned surveillance aircraft near the border area, if and also north of the military demarcation line and a tit for tat of sorts. to take pictures of north korea as military installations. now the drones, the north korean drones that is dead fly for several hours. some media reports you're saying as, as long as 7 hours since being detected again at around $1030.00 this morning, passenger flights were grounded just after lunch, including at the main airport in china international airport as a safety precaution, as these drones were flying through civilian areas lawrence coby is a former us assistant defense secretary. we spoke earlier and he says that this

event is a dangerous escalation. this is pretty serious because we thought it all back. 5 years ago when we made the agreement in 2017 that they would stop this. and but in addition to what they've done by flying over south korea this year, they conducted 90 to missile tasks alone. so they're getting more, you know, getting more provocative. and i do think that you know, the south korean, not a, not only shot shocked out most of the roles and they got into north korea as well. hopefully when they saw how many were shot down. and then south korea response even to north korea, they'll think again about it, but i think they believed that there would be no response to it and they could get a lot of information. it was very dangerous. i mean, they got right near the capital of soul. i mean if that has led to any type of

civilian casualties, we could have another war or the korean peninsula. i think since nothing had happened the last 5 years, they. busy sort of relax but now they're going to, i think get more and more. busy ready to make sure it doesn't happen again, and if it does, to make sure that they can shoot them down before they get, you know, not close to the capital again. and all the developments taiwan is reported. china's largest ever incursion and it says space. $71.00 ad croft, including fighter jets and drones crossover, and a 24 hour period 7 ships will also sent towards the island china times taiwan is it solving territory? is that the drills are in response to provocations from the u. s. and taiwan, or a drone shot down by russian soldiers has killed 3 of their colleagues. rushes defense ministry says it was a ukrainian drone flying over an air base in saratoga in southern russia. security cameras near by filmed an explosion about the time e rush in air force. personnel shot it down. falling debris killed 3 technical

staff base houses, heavy bomb aircraft used to attack ukraine, bosher as accuse ukraine of previously targeting the base. but to ukraine is not said if it sent a drone. charles stratford isn't key with more on now. what's been happening? ukrainian military say russian forces have been shilling, dozens of towns along the eastern and some front lines. they talk about the regions of donates, can new guns as well as zach parisha and in the south head of san. now there is no specific details as to casualties or indeed what has been targeted and it's impossible to independently verify this information. what we do know is having spoken to the authorities in hair of song, they are saying that one neighborhood in particular on the west and banks of the neat pro river, a neighborhood with around 8000 people living in it, is getting hit, especially hard journey around 700 meters, they tell us across the river to russian forces. they saying that russian forces

are shelling that area and the area is very vulnerable to sniper fire. the have all the lou ganske military administration this morning claimed that ukrainian forces have pushed russian forces back a few kilometers along the front line that was established about 2 and a half months ago, near the russian occupied town of camina. as i say him, impossible to independently verify this information. we know that is ongoing heavy fighting around the flashpoint city of moot where we understand the russian forces have been trying to make proving attacks now for days if not weeks to try and surround that city. meanwhile, with respect to the supply of electricity across the country, we spoke to the head of the national electricity operator. this morning. he said, up to 2000000 ukrainians, a still having to endure rolling blackouts and not 24 hour. they do not have access

to heat 24 hours a day. because of this russian campaign targeting ukraine's energy infrastructure, or russia's president lent him a person has met with central asian leaders in st. petersburg machinations of the commonwealth of independent states have been holding an informal meeting. russian leader says they plan to work more closely together despite disagreements, and the blog vision also says that they are facing security threats from outside the region. rooms of china says that from january 8th overseas arrivals will no longer have to spend time in florentine passengers will need to provide a negative p. c. r. test. chinese president. teaching ping is urging officials to take strong steps to protect life from coven 19 as the country experiences the world's biggest surgeon infections. since abandoning 0 cove at policies, majoring has admitted the scale of the outbreak has become impossible to track. but

health officials and jung province estimate at least a 1000000 people a day of being infected and chang dow, about half a 1000000 people are being infected every day. despite his shyness as there have been no code related deaths in the past 6 days. lawrence lu, he has more from hong kong. this is not official data, but one private hospital in beijing is chief medical offices that they're receiving 5 to 6 times more patient than they normally would. and you also said that the average age of patient has shock up from 40 to 70 in just the face of a week. now in another private hospital staff that they've been told to report to work, even when they test positive and have a fever. and i think that really just underscores how desperate the situation is in china at the moment, on cases a breaching a 1000000, and they're expected to go up, especially with the new year celebration coming up next months. that's been

described as the biggest annual human migration with tens of millions of people. chris crossing the country, one health data firm based in the u. k. estimates that as many as 5000 people are dying a day in china. that's of course in sharp contrast to official data, the government has recently announced that it wants to increase the rate of explanation amongst the out. and some senior citizens have told reporters that they're afraid of getting vaccinated because they're afraid of the side effects. and officials now have to persuade the hours and he said that it's safer to get vaccinated than it is to be without the vaccine. now what makes us even more urgent is the fact that china extremely strict policy is meant that case numbers have been very low. so there are few people who have the natural anti bodies as well. and so the spread of cov, it is that it's not only going to be deadly, but it will also be very you know, out there i live from much will. so to bring you on the program and take snowstorm

continues to wreak havoc across the united states, killing at least $48.00 people, and leaving thousands without power. we look back portions to mount us year in politics, 3 prime ministers, ballooning inflation wave, a strike. ah ah ah, let's get going with your update for europe and africa on tuesday, please to say that things calm down right across siberia unpacked. we have a stellar stretch of weather here, sons out temperatures in twenties, in sun spots. so that's above where we would expect to see you for this year. more rounds of rain come pouring into the islands of ireland and britain. and because there are low temperatures in the morning and overnight could certainly see some black ice over the republic of ireland. precipitation bumps into colder air. that

means snow for western russia, including moscow is just a few days ago. that snow storm that dumped about 50 centimeters, central europe, temperature still running above average. ok, sure. we got some rain rolling through the balkans that will drop you by about a degree or 2, but, you know, as looking ahead the next several days this trend of all above average temperatures will continue. now for the levant, as that rain pushes away, it's going to leave a legacy of cloud cover for beta root and ramallah. you know, what still breezy for coastal sections of egypt. on monday, including cairo to the south. we go those heavy rounds of rain push away from that eastern side of south africa into southern moves and beach. so ramble put so and some showers in the makes for then took nothing major though with the high of 34 degrees on tuesday. and now you're in the know, we'll see you soon. take her. ah, with

lou ah ah ah, i'll come back with al jazeera life in london. main stories of following. now. you ins, refugee agency says at least a 180 wrangle refugees and was stranded at sea for weeks and now presumed dead. in

a separate incident, at least 240 people arrived on indonesia more than i tried calling since sunday. after spending weeks at c, 3 people killed in a shooting, a kurdish cultural center has been honored in central paris. crowds walk from the scene of friday's attached to the site where 3 kurdish activists were killed in 2013. and china is saying that from january 8th, overseas arrivals will no longer have to spend time in quarantine. instead, they'll have to provide a negative p c r test. china is experiencing the world's biggest surge in infection since abandoning 0 coven policies. now to nigeria westfall has suffered serious losses during floods this year. the government is offering support but as i'm address now are puts from whoo, dill many have missed out on the extra help the flux. the submerged most of nigeria is coastal communities between august and october. this court tens of

thousands of heck to so far behind. but agriculture thought to say the torrential rains of left behind rich, i leave your deposit and moisture which has improved the quality of the soil. and that's what ties you salvoes hoppy, will boost his mace harvest unless i were to live pd attack you from what we got free seed and fertilize animal. if this crop fails, we could be in serious trouble and it will determine whether we survive were star before the planting season. you go on. the government is providing small scale farmers like touchy with fertilizer and improved maturing seats. it'll put a wider with 80 for the whole us to use that as either moisture and, and blue cross, and also live would have a thought of it. but there isn't enough to go around or fisher's admit only a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of farmers affected by the floods earlier this year will benefit from a government initiative to help them take advantage of the residual moisture left behind by the floods. which means many of them now in debt trace an uncertain

future. i've lost income and access to food. the government has yet to determine the extent of damage. economy said the unknown losses, floods cost to niger us agricultural industry are unsustainable. all the more reason they say why farmers should move from rain fit agriculture to irrigation. edris al jazeera with at least 48 people and now folks have died. a severe winter storms, pommel the us and canada. more than a 1000 domestic and international flights were grounded because of the freezing conditions on monday. high winds and blizzards of all sac was power outages in parts in the u. s. on the west to areas is the city of buffalo and new york state with some areas. they're buried on the anita of snow. the new york governor cathy haute shall praise emergency services in the state. i was at the

a buffalo police garage. i'm talking to the team of police department officials and their swat team as well as our state police and talk about how they have been out there talking them personally about their experiences going into homes, going into vehicles and, and too many tragic times of finding people who do not survive the experience and i want them to know that we know that is difficult work to do. and they're grieving inside, as we all are for the families who are getting the horrible, heartbreaking news that their loved ones to come to the storm over the last day or 2. and is our hearts are breaking for them. oh and joins us live now from washington. how are things now? well, buffalo is getting another 30 centimeters or snow of or so snow in the next 24 hours. and that's before the start of a slow warming trend. the national weather service says that the entire country,

which has been pretty much affected by this winter storm, should see temperatures rising in the next several days. of course, that's going to be a big help in trying to get rid of all of the snow and all of the ice that is built up in the far northern parts of the united states. as well as i relieve the pressure on a sewer lines and on a plumbing system farther south that simply our tub built to sustain the very cold weather that we have seen. travel is still very much affected by the storm. there have been thousands of of flight delays and cancellations on this the 5th day after the storm started moving south from canada into the united states and official saying that it's going to take some time to clear out that backlog. we should also note that there's also been an impact on males and package deliveries here in the united states. monday happens to be a federal holiday to observe a christmas,

but the commercial a package delivery services have cancel, services across must much of the country because they tend to fly their deliveries from one city to another. and if the airports are closed, well, the packages aren't traveling either. so it looks like had another few days of, of widespread disruption. right. another few days of widespread disruption boat, the temperatures are starting to moderate us starting here on the east coast or they're not going out west. you'll see the temperature slowly rising in some places getting above seasonal averages by the weekend or that i certainly your would be a good thing because you don't want things to melt too quickly. that leads to flooding, which is of course, another raw problem, not just done for emergency response teams, but for the people who have to clean up the mouth and try to rebuild their lives.

ok, thank you very much. rosalind jordan in washington or parts of japan have also been suffering from a heavy snow. at least 17 people have been killed there. more than 90, injured disaster management team say many were killed or wounded when trying to move snow from their roofs or buildings. hundreds of homes are also still without power. some areas of ne, in japan of had 3 times as much snow as usual this season. an ethiopian government allegation is in all the integrity region for the 1st time since conflict broke out 2 years ago. it follows an agreement between the government and integrity, people's liberation front, which resigned last month visit is aimed at ensuring the deal is implemented. violence. integrity, kill some thousands of people and prevented humanitarian aid from reaching millions of displaced. large scale protests against sedans. military leaders have been held

in the capital har. tomb crowds marched towards the presidential palace, demanding an immediate transition to civilian rule. military leaders this month directly to a 2 year transitional period to handle the power. but pro democracy protest is have rejected the deal saying the army was still have too much influence over decisions . now to nepal, the newly appointed prime minister there has been sworn in as the president's residence in the capital captain. undo mouse communist leader, push park, come out to hall, will lead a coalition with another communist party. the former rebel was nicknamed the fierce one off refer countries, monarchy in the 19 ninety's or 2022 has been a chaotic year or perhaps another chaotic year in british politics. during the past 12 months, country are seen 3 prime ministers for finance ministers and 3 interior ministers. it's been the boss of jokes internationally, but as andrew summers explains iep,

a living here haven't had much to laugh about. his report does contain flashing images. in britain, they call christmas this season of goodwill, but you won't find much bonham. me here, downing street in 2022 produced pantomime style politics. it might have been funny if the consequences weren't so serious. forest johnson led the way so called party gate, dragged on a police investigation, a fine for johnson o. v. rooms were broken, and that is what i have been repeatedly assured. and when photos emerged, the story changed. it did not occur to me that this might have been a breach of the rules. he lied m frequently. and after a while, people didn't take seriously what he said. there is no doubt that the office of prime minister has been demeaned over the over the past year up boris johnson

became a joke. the parliamentary party eventually decided johnson was a liability. many commentators described it as the downing street soap opera. firstly, forest johnson simply had to go against his well, his parting words as to love distant baby. i'll be back then. liz truss. she's been described as playing the leading part in a psycho drama and then enter stage, right? we she soon act no friend and less trust, and his nickname, the invisible man, sooner was dubbed the invisible man because he's been keeping a low profile with his conservative party, so split support can't be guaranteed. to interesting to see, he only had to look back on the debacle of the list trust premier ship to realize how quickly back bench mpg can get rid of their leader. she proposed massive unfunded tax cuts, but the sums didn't add up,

and she blamed her friend and finance minister quasi caught saying we did a new approach for a new era. oh, there was a currency freefall and ballooning cost of government borrowing. she fired him, but it didn't stop and all my t financial crush, she talk better. oh, i am a fighter. i know i had to walk my baffles. payton to his majesty the king to notify him the i am resigning as leader of the conservative party britain. was a laughing stock worldwide. one newspaper here featured a fresh lettuce. web cam. would it outlast blessed trust? yes. but with inflation now it's a 41 year high. no one's laughing. strikes over, paid him, owns a bound hitting public services their frequent and that causing major disruption.

the royal mail, the trains, the national health service hit by paramedics and nurses walking out. i think his government, especially after we saw what his process and collect public finances on. i think his government is fits on a swing shot, let alone complex health care system ivy and i guess, but can we, she sooner can get away from the invisible man image and set things on course. again, he's a bit boring so far, but i think he would be quite happy to be boring. and i think quite a lot of voters would be quite relieved to have a boring prime minister and boring politics for a while. but maybe just, maybe this is a time for managerial problem solving at rather than vision. so there could be no humorous ending to the farce of british politics in 2022. there's an irony instead, the u. k. was promised tax cuts, spoilers trust. instead it's now way.
