brought to travel chaos during the holidays with the grounding of more than 1000 flights, was enjoying the ports. ah, the u. s. is 1st major storm left behind, picturesque ice creations and opportunities to play in the snow. but as the official sat on monday, this storm was and is all very dangerous. i had the very sad news to report that in addition to the 13 confirmed deaths yesterday, the erie county department of health medical examiners office has confirmed an additional 12 deaths bringing the total. ready for the. ready blizzard to 25 deaths county wide. that number is expected to go up, not just in new york state, but across the country. as rescue crews struggle to reach both residents and drivers trapped during the blizzard. new york state was already trying to recover from a blizzard in early december in this last storm. his historic storms are no longer

historic to us. that's become the way of life in our state and its results of climate change. as you've seen, see extreme weather events all over our country. but all of us in state and county, local government know we had to prepare for the next big one. the storm forced us airlines to cancel thousands of flights, meaning hundreds of thousands of travelers nationwide have to wait and wait to get to their destination. while in south carolina, a frozen pipe that ruptured has put that state's largest food back temporarily out of business. oh, that was underwater in all the food in our region to lose all of it is all meteorologist fe temperatures nationwide should rise during the week making it easier for the ice and snow to melt residents of the buffalo area that break and the weather can't come quickly enough,

another 30 centimeters of snow is in the forecast through tuesday. rosalind jordan al jazeera, but i speak to stephen vermont. now he's a meteorologist on the professor of geography. it's soon the buffalo state. he joins us from buffalo, thanks very much. indeed for being on the program was situation where you are right now. then launch is a little south of buffalo, so i've gotten no not it has not been as bad. but when that storm came through, we had very strong wind, 6070 miles per hour. you know those gust blowing snow the big difference here. i live south of buffalo a little bit and we didn't receive as much snow. i think buffalo recorded about 48 inches or somewhere around 48 inches of snow. so that, that was that combined with the extreme cold and the strong winds made into what they referred to here in buffalo anyways as the once in a generational store. well, this weather system has been described as a bomb cyclic. i mean,

can you tell us in simple terms versus what does this actually mean? well, a bounce icon is basically a low pressure system and as is moving across the country, it, the pressure deepens and deepens very quickly. so if it deepens, like within 24 hours, a number of mill of ours, it becomes a much stronger storm. so it's a storm that builds up its strength and it does so very quickly. and as it moves across the country and brings all kinds of havoc, and when i hit the grey lakes where we are buffalo, that we often get with 1st was lake effect snow. so not only are we getting the snow as part of that low pressure system and the winds and the cold, but now we're getting lake effect snow. that's what we have such high amounts in western new york is because lake erie is actually producing the snow. the energy from the lake gets drawn up into that storm and it produces much stronger snow events. it described it as a once in a generation event. how much of this can be put down to climate change then?

all. busy i can say it in individual storm, but in my work we're finding that we're getting more and more cases of extreme weather. so this is not surprise. i can't see. the storm is due to climate change. but we're going to see more of these extremes that we're going to see. not only a warming world, but a world that's going to face all kinds of different streams. the last time buffalo had a storm like this was referred to as a blizzard of 77 as 1977. that's why, again, we refer to as a generational storm and, and this is going to be ingrained on the dna of people on buffalo for a long, long time. is this weather at the moment likely to ease over the coming days? do you think? yeah, i think we're at least here in buffalo, we're near the end of it and what's going to be is going to be covering it's going to be days and weeks of basically digging out. there is still a travel bands in much of erie county and, and definitely the city of buffalo. so we'll just see how long it takes. but,

but buffalo has done this before. i can, there were pretty good at digging out and respond to this amount of store of snow. but again, it's that combination of that wind in cold and snow. that was a triple threat and caused a great deal of calamity in buffalo. i see the matter. thank you very much indeed for your time or my pleasure. thank you. across the border in canada, thousands remain without power and the 2 biggest provinces, ontario and quebec emergencies have been declared by some local governments. winter storm warnings remain in place for parts of the western province of british columbia. for people were killed there and dozens more injured when the bus rolled an icy road. where meanwhile, at least 17 people have died in japan as they try to remove snow from their roofs and buildings. some parts of northeastern japan had 3 times as much snow as normal . hundreds of homes are still without power.

a former us assistant secretary defense. he says the incident is a dangerous escalation. this is pretty serious. we cause we thought it all back 5 years ago when we made the agreement in 2017 that they would stopped us. and but in addition to what they've done by flying, you know, over in south korea this year, they conducted 90 to our missile tests alone. so they're getting more, you know, getting more provocative. and i do think that you know, the south korean not only shot shot down most of the drones and they got into north korea as well. hopefully when they saw how many were shot down. and then the south korean response even to north korea. del, 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 on the korean peninsula. i think since nothing had happened than the last 5 years, they sort of relax. but now they're going to, i think, get more and more 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. the white house has described china's largest ever military incursion into ty, ones, and defense, and as provocative and destabilizing both $71.00 that chinese aircraft, including find the jetson drones crossed into the area over 24 hour period. 7 ships were also sent towards the islands which beijing claims as its own. china says the activities in response to on getting joint drills between taiwan and the u. s. fi ones president will hold a national security meeting on tuesday morning. who not to nations mission to

team on the ground to provide that all women are essential to any humanitarian operation. so in the context of you can start even more so where women can interact with women. we are actually working very closely with other agencies and trying to kind of keep watching brief on the situation. why hopeful that through our connections and i engagement with partners government that we can try to press go everybody to live and things will become one abling in the country so that we can then resume our work. and you know, obviously providing life saving support at a very difficult time in the country and dialogue is the key. so the head here now just arrow, one of the deadliest years at sea for the hing your community, the fleeing overcrowded camps in bangladesh and ukraine. the coast for russia to be

internationally. but as andrew simmons explains, britton's haven't had much to laugh about. a warning, his report contains flash 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. morris johnson led the way so called party gate dragged on a police investigation, a fine for johnson. oh, big 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 and 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 so proper. firstly, forest johnson simply had to go against his well, his parting words as to love this, the 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 richie soon act no friend of less trust. and his nickname, the invisible man sudak 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 you. you only had to look back on the debacle of the list trust premier ship to realize how quickly back them jim, please can get rid of their leader. she proposed massive unfunded tax cuts,

but the sums didn't that up. and she blamed her friend and finance minister quasi courting. we did a new approach for a new era. oh, it was a currency freefall and ballooning cost of government borrowing. she fired him, but it didn't stop an almighty financial crush. she told the truth. i am a fighter and not to my samples. payton to his majesty the king, to notify him the i'm resigning as leader of the conservative party. britain was a laughing stock world wide. one newspaper here featured afresh. let his web cam would it out. last bliss 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 that frequent and that causing major disruption.

the royal mail, the trains, the national health service hit by paramedics and nurses working on. c i think his government, especially after we saw what ms process on and collect public finances. i think his government is fits on a swing shot. let long complex health care system might be an address. but can we, she sooner get away from the invisible man image and set things. of 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 boring prime minister and boring politics for a while. but maybe just, maybe this is a time for managerial problem solving rather than vision. so there could be no humorous ending to the farce of british politics in 2020 there's an irony instead the u. k was pro.
