just name with what we do as the ocean. why and what are you going to do to keep out of the sort of language that keeps the red blood? i'm right. they have one circle back over their fight for a while. if you've got them, eric, i was told, i think that's what texting. women were made a challenge in the region. i will not stop being pro life. i want to sleep. we don't have read them in this funky is about 2 weeks now, 3 days. journey to with someone destroys our country. someone needs to rebuild. ah, the u. s. and it's really become the latest countries to impose coven restrictions

on people arriving from china, where we're surgeon infections is missing hospitals and funeral homes under intense pressure. oh, hello there. i'm dealing with all this is jesse rely from london also coming up. russia intensifies, it's a tags on the recently liberated ukrainian city of care, some hitting civilian targets, including a hospital maternity wing. a new law gets israel's far right. incoming security minister, unprecedented power over the police is the new government settlement expansion, top of its list of priorities and emotional lien in to see the open airlines resumes commercial flights between now does have a bar on the capital of more towards t gray with

the u. s in italy have joined a growing list of countries imposing cor, would restrictions on people arriving from china. just the day after beijing announced it would drop old quarantine measures for inbound travelers. taiwan, india, and japan will also require negative tests for anyone traveling from china. american officials say they are concerned about a lack of transparency surrounding virus case numbers. on tuesday, china only reported 3 corporate related deaths, even though hospitals and funeral homes are said to be under. intense pressure should be a good job for you to fisher. all countries go through other stations when they adjust their coffee, the policy, china is no exception. currently china, the publication is all predictable and under control. beijing is the 1st city to pause the peak of infections and likely going back to normal. now, chinese authorities have also conducted scientific assessments and made preparations for a possible search in other provinces. we have full confidence in ensuring and orderly transition. well, despite the surgeon infections travel website, then as

a spike in traffic from chinese, people looking overseas trips after 3 years of quarantine meshes on kong says it's also scrapping most remaining restrictions from people traveling to its territory. well kimberly, how could join us live from washington d. c. hi there. kimberly. so we have the cdc and i'm still relation to china at well the by the ministration and the centers for disease control saying that they really are not getting any clear answers from the chinese government. and as a result of that lack of transparency, that really has been ongoing since the start of the pandemic. they feel there is a need as a result of the surge of cases that have been spiking in china in recent days as a result of the relaxation of restrictions there to put in place measures to make sure that there isn't a search of cases here in the united states. so what does that look like? is that any traveller from china, from macau, from hong kong,

is now going to be required to show a negative p. c. r antigen test. within 48 hours of departure from any of those points into the united states. so this is going to apply to any traveller regardless of vaccination status. and it will mean that any traveller above the age of 2 is going to have to show this negative test out of the united states says that this is something that they didn't want to have to do. but again, this is in the absence of transparency by the chinese government. they also say that this is because they've had problems monitoring sort of emerging variance inside the united states. and this is in order to be able to do that with sort of these missing pieces of information that are coming from overseas. kimberly, do you think this could impact us china relations? there is no question that this is having an impact on what we're see here. is

a kind of a compounding problem, given the fact that this is involving not just china, but other governments as well as because a lot of these flights not direct flights there are transiting through canada. for example. we know that a lot of travelers come through vancouver international airport. they come through trotters pearson international. so this is involving the canadian government as well. and we also know that in addition to kind of this absence of information, there is a lot of troubling information. for example, there has been the emergence of videos online, for example, showing very crowded hospitals in china. it's very alarming for authorities here in the united states who are seeing kind of a worsening. 6 of the coven outbreaks in china, and not gave in the data that they are really looking for. so the united states is sort of putting these measures in place, even as the chinese government is saying, look at this is all hype. there's no scientific data to back up the restrictions

that you're putting in place. but again, the united states is defending its actions, saying look at their ob, across sub variance that we're concerned about. and again, we have to do this if you would like to put forward in data to the contrary. we would be happy and welcome that. but in the absence of that, we're taking these measures can be how can they are joining us from washington dc. kimberly, thank you. will florence louis has more now on hong kong, lifting its restrictions and the market reaction to the news? if you look at the performance of the stock indices in hong kong, i think it mirrors how people feel about this decision. bouncing index rose 1.6 percent. and i think that the business community is largely, i'm happy and also confident about hong kong ability to cope with rising coven cases. remember when hong kong had the very strict rules, it was seen as something that affected the cities reputation as an international

financial center. now it's a rather different story in china. however, it's main induces the c as i 300 index, as well as the shanghai composite index, both recorded minor loss losses. and i think this overall reflects just how investors feel about china's ability to cope in the short to medium term with the explosion in covey. cases on the mainland, china's health facilities are under immense strain. its hospitals, its medical staff, ah, overwhelmed very shortage of medicines and some medicines in some places. funeral homes are full, they're not accepting appointments until next year. so and the modeling that some health experts have pretty as them have used, predicts that they could be one to 2000000 deaths in china the next year. and so i think what we're seeing in the stock market in hong kong and china really reflect how people feel about these 2 places. ability to cope with corona virus in the coming months. japan recorded 415 corona virus sits on wednesday. it's highest our

count for a single day tally health industry data showed there were 200000 new infections up from 4 percent a week earlier. in the past month, japan has registered the world's 2nd highest cove in 19 death toll after the u. s. according to johns hopkins university, ah, greens military says, russian forces have stepped up mortar and artillery attacks on the city of care song, which was liberated from russian control last month. it says $33.00 missiles were fired at civilian targets. there in the last day, some hitting a hospital maternity ward. officials say staff were able to evacuate and no one was hurt. civilians are now trying to flee care saunas attacks their intensify. ukraine's military is also resumed is counter offensive in the eastern region of lance. to large cities, there are still on the russian control. cha, stratford is falling developments from cheve the governor of care. so the region

says the city and the surrounding area has come under more heavy shilling today by russian forces, the majority of which it's believed to be targeting the area from across the river . we know that careful city was liberated by the ukrainians last month. the governor saying that infrastructure hit includes a maternity ward, a medical facility, a kindergarten, and a brace factory, you know, reports miraculously, of any casualties. we do know that the city had a population of around 70000 people, many of whom had returned since the liberation of care so on. and we understand that many fleeing back out of the city as this shelly continues. also, interestingly, more reports of what seems to be the beginnings of a ukrainian push around the town of crimean and crimean. it is occupied by russian forces very close to the guns, could do net sc borders. it's an area that

a pretty much seen stalemate since a new front line was established there following a ukranian counter offensive to and a half months ago. this area, very strategically important. now we've been speaking to the advisor to the president's office. mchale pulled back, and this is what he had to say about the situation in san and around christina. and puts nemo, which now most ost, i know linda butcher, mr. wouldn't you know, we don't see any intention preparation for russian counter offensive towards her song. and russia doesn't have the necessary military resources in order to do that from the south. the russians, i even to make her son a dead city to completely destroy all civilian infrastructure in the center of the city. and in residential areas. crimean of those or louis camina is highly imported, strategically and artistically because of its location in the loo, hands on that board. and it is currently a logistical hub for the russians. but the army is actively pushing toward amena.

the question of the timing for the salt is one for the general command that, but it's obvious. we will take camina because it's vital for al counter offensive me while ukraine's national electricity provider says more shelling of electricity facilities in the east of the country has a meant that there is now a further deficit of electricity, country wide that comes of course, in the wake of these devastating so called kamikaze drone and cruise missile attacks that have been targeting ukraine's energy infrastructure already. it's understood that there are still millions of ukrainians across the country without electricity or heat. russia has dismissed the ukrainian presidents, 10 point piece plan flow to me as a landscape proposal includes the withdrawal of russian troops and the restoration of ukraine's borders. but the kremlin says key must accept russia's, annexation of 4 ukrainian regions before talks can take place. there isn't any

peace cleaned by ukraine yet, and there can't be any korean in peace plan that fails to take into account today's realities regarding the russian territory, the incorporation of the new 4 regions into russia. any plan that fails to acknowledge these realities can not be considered a peace plan. latest financial data from russia shows the economies weakening as anxious, put pressure on its currency. the rebel last about 8 percent against the u. s. dollar last week in his own course for hasty monthly decline after an oil embargo and price cap came into force or says economy has contracted by more than 2 percent of the past 11 months. the figures were released the day after the kremlin advanced ban on oil exports to countries that set price caps on its energy products. the decree will come to effect in february, syrian turkish and russian defense ministers have met in mall school to discuss ways of resolving the syrian crisis. the 1st such talk since the war began, they talked about possible return of refugees and how to jointly combat on groups
