and we're doing our best to introduce him for traditions and culture. there are $28.00 trophies at stake and the top price over a $1000000.00 and a golden sold for science. this, the evidence is irrefutable. but america's climate change, denial stubbornly mistrust of the fact. despite soaring temperatures, raging wild fires and shrinking water reserves, the world's largest economy, it's still split along ideological lines. so can it ever reach consensus to avoid catastrophe? climate wars on a jessia? ah? use the russia retaliates president vladimir putin says he will block the sale of

oil to nations imposing a price cap. ah, i'm carried on to mrs. al jazeera life and dough house are coming up. at least $64.00 killed and thousands more stranded as a powerful winter storm continues to batter. north america. survey puts troops on high alert after weeks of growing tensions with kosovo. and taiwan extends its military service to one year saying it's to counter threats from china. ah, russian president vladimir putin as announced a ban on oil exports to countries that set price caps on its energy products. the decree will last for at least 5 months and will come into effect in february. for

this month, the european union, g 7 and australia agreed on a $60.00 per barrel cap on that russian crude. it's one of a series of measures aimed at cutting the criminals revenue streams as worn ukraine continues. while many countries have pledged to end or severely cut back their oil and gas imports from russia. since this invasion of ukraine energy exports account for around 40 percent of russia's annual revenue and a worth around a $1000000000.00 a day, the cap was seeking to restrict that on making sure moscow kept supplying the global market. for russia says the cap and other western sanctions won't affect its military campaign. in ukraine. mosque was confident it can find new buyers. countries like india and china have continued to purchase russian oil. large as areas as our show, as, as more from oscar. earlier to fall when i do a lot of pierre light on this decree was anticipated after an agreement was reached

. between the e u. n. g 7 countries. a few days ago, man was put a price cap of $60.00 per barrel of oil above, even though russia is currently selling its oil for up to $55.00 us dollars a barrel. but for russia, according to statements that preceded this decree, it opposes setting a ceiling on prices, not because it could have economic losses. if we take into account the oil prices in the market now. but the kremlin rejects it in principle by latoya. russia believes that energy prices in general should be determined by the markets and not by political decisions taken by countries, according to their interests or within the framework of sanctions against diesel that party. so what, therefore putin did, what was expected of him and signed this decree, pending another decree related dealing also with the exports of natural gas. so, so what does this mean? it means that russia, starting from february 1 will stop exporting any oil products to countries or

companies related to the decision to set a price ceiling area. because of this decision, russia is expected to reduce its production to about 500002700000 barrels a day. but according to officials, this doesn't mean that there would be losses from the russian side, because russia will continue exporting oil to china and india, as well as southeast asian countries. and it's expected that this russian decision that will affect the price of oil in the markets, which we will find out about in the next few hours that a lot of interest of mishenko is an oil and gas analyst. he says it's a global concern here. political mass or political, actual involvement into the pricing mechanism and special and such a big market like crew. the global crudo market does concern everybody. and despite the fact that some nations didn't support their price gap information would like to continue to buy russell, rushing crude. but i think they had global distortion because so today you

just implemented the price gap on one specific world and tomorrow you go to the another. so i think this is the not market mechanism decrease in science. that it's income prediction was an actual international law. and contract terms, this is commercial issue, actually not subject for political maneuvers. russia is foreign minister has again warned that ukraine must demilitarize or face further military action. so again, love ro falls to accuse the west of feeding the war in ukraine to weaken russia. he said the length of the conflict will depend on keith and washington. in ukraine, russian forces attacked towns in the east and south on cheese day fighting has been particularly ins. pence around the strategic eastern secret move into next province in spite of further north in the hands of profits. charles stratford has more from

keith, more heavy fighting at various locations along the eastern front line, perhaps most interestingly around that city of buck moot. which is seen some of the most intense battles in recent weeks and months, some very interesting video. this appeared on telegram channels that we cannot independently verify purporting to show ukrainian soldiers among dozens of dead russian soldiers as those videos of a paid some. also some very interesting lines coming from pro russian channels. these channels advocating that they should be a russian withdrawn from those positions around buff mood because the situation has become so difficult for the russians. now, of course, we have no way can independently verify these lines. but still, those videos are shocking. also. interestingly, the ukranian head of the regional military administration. if lou gantski medical survey guide is saying that ukrainian forces continue to make progress around the

town or close to the town of crimean crimean, which is russian, occupied along the lou ganske donates borders. now this was a front line that was established i supposed to and a half months or so ago after that very successful counter offensive by the ukrainians granting military now saying for the 1st time since then in the last couple of days, they are beginning to make progress, but as i say, we cannot independently verify these claims. meanwhile, the electricity crisis across the country continues. president vladimir zalinski last night saying that at least 9000000 people were still without reliable electricity and heating as these winter temperatures are expected to plummet. in the next couple of weeks also we spoke yesterday to the head of the country's national electricity operator. he predicted that these full repairs to the grid system could take years. and that,

of course would be if there wasn't be more barrage, is more a tax in this what seems to be russian campaign. it's targeting energy infrastructure. so yeah, a lot of people still very cold, living in very dark conditions. as these energy crises across ukraine continues. the sudden death of a russian for the titian who reported he criticized the invasion of ukraine, is being investigated by indian police. the body of pavel and tough was found in a pool of blood outside his hotel in the state of edition where he had been holiday . please say he appears to fall in from his terrace. one of his travel companions died at the same hotel of the parent heart attack 2 days ago. investigators say there is currently no sign of filed say the death toll from severe winter storms across north america is rising. at least 64 people have now been killed as heavy snow full continues. nearly half of those deaths are in new york state,

which is one of the worst effect there is. some neighborhoods have had up to 5 meters of snow in recent days. and across the border in canada, or at least one county along lake ontario has declared a state of emergency. well, there's still a big backlog of passengers waiting for tensile flights to be rescheduled. practical have has more on that for me at reagan national airport. they're washington dc. a familiar scene in airports all across the united states. long lines were cancelled flights, lost luggage, but more than that, missing memory to how care my grandmother greeting me today. did i was do you have my granddaughter in woodson for that we went with any calls as braces because a grade is sentimental. she's been here every day looking for her luggage. she's not sure when she'll get it or when her granddaughter will be baptized. everyone in

these long lines has a story to tell. eventually i just left the line after being told that we probably wouldn't get a flight to dc until the 28th. and i'm paired up with a family and we all drove together to dc. and they in a still laugh about 3 hours, got re book for another flight that was supposed to leave out it all. paul, about 9 ish. and they say it okay in about midnight, that will was council. the severe winter storm saw almost $20000.00 flights canceled during the height of the busiest travel season of the year. but most airlines have recovered. southwest airlines are mostly domestic carrier, has canceled the vast majority of them. it's just the fact that this once started west swept east and impacted almost every single one of our largest airports that put us in a position where we struggled to recover. these lines are not going to get shorter any time soon. the ceo of southwest is they're only gonna fly about

a 3rd of their scheduled flights that could take days. department of transportation says it's going to investigate. but the airlines going to have bigger problems than that. everyone i talked to said they had no intention of fine southwest airlines ever again. paddy call him al jazeera washington. the u. s. supreme court has rules to keep border restrictions that have blocked to thousands of migrants from entering the country. from the mexico bought the rule known as possible. 42 was imposed in 2020. it allowed border officials to rapidly expel migrants court trying to cross into the u. s. from mexico. the federal judge. last month's rule, the policy to be unlawful, but 19 states say lifting it could lead to an increase in border crossings. kimberly, how could join this live now from washington d. c. so kimberly, what will this mean in practice for those migrants who've been stuck at the border? well, it means that they're going to be stock for many months,

more possibly until june. that's when the supreme court says that it is going to weigh in on this case. essentially, what we have here is the supreme court now saying that they are going to have some deliberations over this. in other words, they're going to hear oral arguments. what this is, is a longstanding controversy that goes right back to when the trumpet ministration. first put this in. these are public health measures, title 42. it essentially allows the federal government to use emergency measures to prevent disease from crossing into the border. but what this is become is kind of ad hoc immigration policy to prevent people from seeking asylum in the united states. and what this is done is allowed not the trumpet ministration, but also the biden administration to allow our prevent 2000000 people since march of 2020, from crossing into the united states. now the biden administration wanted to have

this lifted because many argue it is in humane and it has allowed for the separation of many families. and so a lower court was attempting to overturn this as of december 21st. but as you pointed out, 19 attorneys generals, ball, republican and many along the southern border of the united states and mexico said, look at, don't do this. this will just open the floodgates. already. we've seen a record number of e, little crossings into the united states, and the united states is ill equipped to handle the surge that we are expecting. so what we've seen now is this emergency ruling by the supreme court saying, we're going to keep this in place a little longer. and what we're going to do is now look at this carefully and have a ruling on this once and for all come june of the white house is weighed in on this. they've released a statement. they've said we're going to comply with this for now, but really why needs to happen is this is a public health measure ruling. what we need is comprehensive immigration reform.

yeah, that's right. and guess what, this is something that's legislation. congress needs to do this and guess what? they haven't been able to do it in about 20 years. kimberly, how kits a live 1st in washington, d. c. thank you. we're still ahead. herron al jazeera, israel's prime minister, designate is one step closer to forming the countries most far right government. yet. thus skyrocketing inflation, unknown jobs we meet syrian refugees struggling to survive is to kias economy weakens. ah, here's your headlines for the america. it's nice to see. so the rain comes pouring out of eastern paraguay, pushing into the southeast of brazil, that's going to impact the state of rio grande to sol. so the capital port

highest alert level as tensions grow with kosovo over recent shootings and blockades. serbs in northern kosovo whose independence is not recognized by belgrade, have erected more road blocks and ethically divided town a bitch of its nodding. baba has more serbian flags flowing in northern kosovo, near the border with serbia. new road blocks have just been set up here in north metro feet. sir. cosello's largest serv, majority town. other barricades went up weeks ago after the arrest of an ethnic serb form, a police officer suspected of involvement in attacks on the force. on monday, the head of the serbian orthodox church was refused entry into kosovo. he said he wanted to deliver a peace message for serbia, an orthodox christmas, which he celebrated on the 7th of january. if possible, yet, ample glover, mickey riscas, i admit it, is there a head of any religious community? he can't visit his own people,

not his believers. and can't enter his own homes. you spoke with a patriarchal of pet monastery, is the property of the serbian orthodox church and a home of the head of the serbian orthodox church. he was speaking of to meeting sylvia's president. alexander voltage. you own promoteco talks are ongoing right now. we have engaged all our people, so we have old resources you them. we are doing our best to preserve the peace in to fight for peace. and as the party are sad, acquainted with her to find some sort of a compromise solution, refrain on monday, sir b as defense minister met soldiers as the army was put on its highest level of combat readiness. this government video shows millichef butch, of ich, talking with troops and inspecting military equipment close to the cost of a border. the short term goal is to full the muscles with they are the surgeon people. so to show that the serbia and in particular the

serbian breast themselves on the role sheet as funding the national interest and the interest of gospel serves in what is few goals are at thomas province. northern kosovo has been particularly tense since november when hundreds of ethnic serb employees of the police and judiciary resigned. they were angry about christian, a binding license plates issued by bo grade. a policy eventually scrapped. and this month local elections insert majority areas were postponed. after many serbs said they boycott the vote. letty barber al jazeera or castillo declared independence from sir the are in 2008 a decade after at least 13000 people were killed during the war in cost of the u. s . sand major e u countries recognized cost those break away, but serbia refused to do so. cost about membership of the u. n. was blocked by serbia's ally, russia. about $4000.00 nato peacekeepers remained on the ground of the alliance,

intervened to end the conflict in 1999. he began sponsoring talks between the 2 sides in 2013, but made little progress. resolving the conflict is one of the main conditions for both sides to join the block. james, co, lindsey, as a research associate at the london school of economics. he says, relations between the countries are at a low point. i think we probably boil it down, that we have a new administration or relatively new administration impression, which is very hard line. and i think that we're seeing also a very hard line emoji in serbia, which is tied up with all sorts of things with ukraine and pro russian sentiment. so i think what we're seeing at the moment is just a lot of things coming together at a very bad time. and quoting a lot of water, a part of the problem is that it was agreed as part of this, a, you agree deal almost a decade ago. the subs, remaining possible would be able to establish what would be called the, the association of the policy. but this is never been implemented,

the cost of oil banyon argued that this is just simply in time to create a mini sub state within their own country. and so they reject it. but the 3rd thing that is actually on the mental to protecting their identity, that placed within costs of oak, they represent anywhere between 5 and 10 percent of the population. so again, you have the standoff and when you've got this, this particular paint from between belgrade and pristine, or it makes any any that will act seem as though it's an act of aggression. so, pristine are it's all doing 30 years, putting up to, to resist the pristine as controlling in its own country and the subs the say, well, you know, preparing the military intervention to effectively force without the pulse of all together. or at least bring that some that control. and so this really explains why you're now starting to see a much more militarized space emerging, which is worrying so many about the service. taiwan government says it will extend compulsory military service from 4 months to

a year to counter threats from china. on monday, dozens of chinese planes crossed into ty, one's air defense zone, the biggest incursion in years. beijing is protesting against what it says is, collusion, and provocation. by the island and united states views taiwan as a breakaway province, person to sign when says taiwan at once, peace foot needs to be able to defend itself. and we can only avoid war by preparing for war. and we can only stop war by being capable of fighting. a war, de one meets to increase its ability to defend itself so that we can strengthen our national security in getting more international support. florence louis has more details now from hong kong. the latest measures announced by taiwanese president trying one is aimed at increasing the islands defense capabilities and one think tank estimates that the extra 8 months that cons conscripts will now be required to serve, could potentially add 60 to $70000.00 personnel annually to the current setting.

forth by the year 2027, and that's not the only change announced on tuesday. conscripts will now undergo more intense training. they'll be more ly fire drills to learn how to handle more sophisticated weapons. the president also said the government plans to increase the overall salaries for conscripts and professional soldiers the number of years a conscript serves will also be taken into account and the government's labor retirement plan. all this is to make, serving in its defense forces more attractive. now increasing the number of months that a conscript has to so really is not new. previously conscripts had to serve for 2 years, but that was slowly with down to 4 months by previous governments. because to make the well really to appease to younger voters and also because at that time tension between taiwan and beijing had eased. now time one has been feeling the pressure from china over the years, not just militarily, but also financially and diplomatically. as china has grown from strength to

strength on the global stage, as well as in the world economy, and the taiwanese government under president trying when, well, it's position is that ty, ones, future is something for taiwan. people to decide. whereas the chinese government views the island as a breakaway province and sees were unification as inevitable. so these are 2 very opposing and contrasting views and preston, ch hi. she said on tuesday afternoon that taiwan wants peace, but to avert a war it has to be prepared for is ready for us to have rated the home of a palestinian, the family, and so on and occupy the east jerusalem. they also fired tear gas at residence in the area. earlier 5 part of students were injured in confrontations with jewish settlers and the israeli army. settlers tried to seize land in the hallway area of salon. so high rats has more from occupied east jerusalem. well, the fighting was all about a plot of land that's just behind me. if you can see me israelis,

settlers have been putting up a fence. it's a new spence and this pulse of land extends all the way from this call park over here. and it will go all the way down there. you can see as the cameras can just sound there, there's some trees that have been cultivated by a palestinian family that has lived for 7 years now. probably city and family has always maintained that they signed a lease with the greek orthodox church because miss line is actually owned by the greek orthodox church. but it's very much contested plots of land. and so one because the jewish settlers, a jewish organization, has bought the lands, apparently from the church a few years ago they, they had actually bought, sorry, rather at least 2 hotels in the old city, which is further just up the road from where i am. and this plot of land comes in a way with the, the 2 hosts house. this has been through the court for many years. it went through

to the supreme court of israel as well. and the court has ruled in favor of the the jewish settlers. 7 so this just gives you an idea over the pension, and i'm curious, but let's say that they have access and should have access to this land. and every so often friday, fly thing, take place. benjamin netanyahu has moved a step closer to forming what's expected to be the most right wing government in israel's history. as off the parliament passed controversial legislation allowing politicians previously convicted of offences without serving jail time to join the cabinet. some of the prime minister designates hotline coalition partners will now be eligible for ministerial posts. but at least a 113 people have been rescued from the mediterranean sea of the coast of libya. the s 2 s monitor on a charity says it's ocean viking vessel rescued. the group from
