10:01 am
returns finally released. we take a look at what's inside. why the u. n. is calling 2022 the worst year for palestinians in nearly 2 decades. we take a look back on a history making year that saw the 1st football well come, help them at least ah said the world health organization has held a high level meeting with chinese officials to request access to more information on its recent surgeon code 19 cases. the each her officials asked for sharing a real time data and tracking of any potential new variance. we also offer to provide practical support china, which has seen a dramatic rise in infection since rolling back at 0 k with policy. it follows growing doubts about the transparency of official information. while you came, france have joined the growing list of countries that will impose covered 19 checks
10:02 am
on arrivals from china, the us, japan, india, and italy have already and now it's compulsory testing. the chinese government has denounced new rules as discriminatory can have all countries score with 19 prevention and control measures should be scientific and appropriate and should not affect normal people to people contact as well as normal exchange and cooperation in recent days, many leading medical experts for multiple countries have said that there is no need to impose restrictions on entry of travelers from china, where the wave of cases appears to be overwhelming, chinese hospitals and funeral homes. however, the official number of terrain of ours, dest be reported, remains low. earlier this month, health authorities across china change criteria for recording k with 19 fatalities . so it's william schaffner is the medical director of the national foundation for infectious diseases. and like many other health experts in the u. s. and e. u. he says wastewater from aeroplanes arriving from china should be tested to detect any
10:03 am
new very testing waste water has become increasingly common throughout the united states and testing waste water from playing for passengers in coming from china will give a sense of which strains of the virus are out there, that's very important because the chinese government has not been very forthcoming . providing data on the various variance of coven that are circulating in china. but if we test the waste water on from planes coming from china, we may be able to get a better sense of whether new variance are cropping up in china, variance of possible concern, could they evade the protection of our current vaccines? and so the war we know about the nature of the viruses that are circulating in
10:04 am
china, the better prepared the rest of the world can be there so much at home testing. and so many people not even bothering to get tests that we have a we don't have as good a sense of where this virus is spreading in the united states. so testing wastewater actually is giving us an additional helpful information so that we can track the spread of this virus in this country. and now using it in this circumstance, airplanes coming in from china. that's a very clever idea. now that the tax information that former us president donald trump fought to keep private, has been exposed us. house democrats, released 6 years of his returns, showing that he paid no income tax in 2020 his last full year as president. despite promising several times to release him himself from suit the house of representatives, ways and means committee to keep the records private. in november,
10:05 am
the supreme court ruled documents could be made public it on friday they were angry . the full president. although these tax returns contain relatively little information and not information that almost anybody would understand their extremely complex, the radical democrats behavior is a shame upon the u. s. congress. white house correspondent. kimberly how good is more now from washington dc. right now we do know that the president avoided paying tax for the most part, but he didn't for the most part legally because the tax code has been designed for not just the wealthy in the united states, but anyone who can afford to pay an accountant in the u. s. so this could be in the middle class as well. a is able to take advantage of sort of loopholes if you will, to essentially take losses on income in order to reduce their tax burden or
10:06 am
tax bill. and so that's what this president has done, and that's what he's done is taken business losses by the 10s of millions in order to avoid paying tax with regard to whether not the president has done anything wrong. and there certainly are some curious things about these tax returns as people are poring over them. for example, the fact that the president had foreign bank accounts has certainly been alarming given the fact that as president of the united states, this opens him up to suggestions that he could be under foreign influence. another concern is the fact that the president did sign into law. although it's the congress that makes law, ah, he did change law that benefited him personally, as well as a millions of others, americans. and as well, the president did also claim some income in terms of interest. they had some people suggest, could be disguised as gifts. we don't know where those gifts came from. so certainly
10:07 am
this could mean that the president could now be audited further by the internal revenue service or iris, or this could become weaponized by his political opponents, will latino from samuel de brunson who's a professor of lord lawyer, the university of chicago. and he says, there is no law that specifically blog is presidents to disclose and touch returns . they are good questions about how the tax system treats the wealthy, how the wealthier able to offset income with losses, that unavailable to most people. and from what i've looked at, i don't see any red flags that suggest that he cheated in using these offsets. rather, he had the ability to use a lot of deductions because he has a lot of business heels and he has a lot of money back in the office. i think that reflects a broader trend of donald trump breaking with tradition in breaking with norse unfortunately, or fortunately, i guess in his case, there is no law that requires presidents to disclose their tax returns. and
10:08 am
possibly, congress never thought there needed to be a law because between president nixon and precedent. obama, every president in the vast majority of presidential candidates, did voluntarily disclose their returns to the public. but when donald trump declined to do that, it turned out that norms only have teeth to the extent that people believe in those norms. so there are a whole lot of pages. there are thousands of pages of tax returns and i haven't had time to look through all of them yet. i suspect though, that there won't be any clear indication of transactions with one government. as you suggest, who does have an account in income from foreign countries. in those things may raise some red flags. there are questions about whether if he wants to operate in certain countries in his businesses, it, if he's going to be unduly,
10:09 am
ah, unduly deferred to those countries in terms of foreign policy. but those are issues that he faced in that were publicly known during his prior presidency between 20172020. the un general assembly has all since national court of justice for its opinion on the legal consequences of the israeli occupation of palestinian territories. the un wants to understand what decades of violence of meant for the right to self determination of the palestinian people. christian sooner me hasn't itself. the un is asking the international court of justice to issue an advisory opinion on what it refers to as israel's prolonged occupation settlement and annexation of palestinian territory. the general assembly made the request in a resolution citing generations of palestinians living under oppressive military occupation. and without some basic human rights. now israel says that this referral,
10:10 am
i shows contempt for their security concerns. they were opposed to the referral, the i c. j opinion in this case is expected to take about 2 years and isn't technically legally binding back in 2004 the i c. j judged that israel's construction of a wall in the west bank and east jerusalem was against international law with you and says 2022 has been the worst year for palestinian since it started recording destiny 2 decades ago is when the forces killed at least 224 people in occupied palestinian territory, including the al jazeera journalist train of worker, and with a new right when governments many fare 2023 will bring more violence. did abraham reports now from the occupied westmark? it's been a year, overshadowed by loss. for each grieving family, the loss of one person is one to many months after he was killed, that he has already seen that the table remains empty. the eldest of 5 siblings
10:11 am

10:12 am
ramallah to our final resting place in occupied as jerusalem. and perhaps some of the most shocking scene in the occupied territory this year. the attack on poor betters at chintz funeral in midst of global condemnation, palestinian demanded action the silencing of a position when we're discussing him, or it's defenders which include journalist, paramedics or any other palestinian a. so not necessarily working in civil side organizations is a, is a way of maintaining the upper debris gym and in essence the upper denture gym, as we see it today and is at all of a forcing sinus that could onanism palestinians of told us if they had to choose one word to sum up 2022. it would be oppression. remember those who are killed by posting their photos online, displaying their pictures, a walls and talking about them. their images became part of public spaces.
