4:00 pm
harris died at sea. in the midst of the despair, one group is often overlooked. they don't have enough pocket money to buy something to eat. al jazeera goes to the heart of palestinian refugee camps in lebanon. the full report stories of a forgotten people on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera. ah. hello, i'm sammy's a dan. this is the news i live from dawn, coming up in the next 60 minutes. krisha dumps the euro and joins the used, borderless travel zone will have a live report from zagreb. russia steps off its attacks against ukraine's capital
4:01 pm
as the nation marks the new year. we look at how a lack of affordable housing in the us is worsening that homelessness crisis. plus i'm partner with the on the outskirts of new delhi authorities, have bank school in this region to if you've equality, but many companies said this would impact livelihood. ah, we begin in cray show where the nation is now adopted the euro as its official currency. it comes nearly 10 years after it joined the european union. it also becomes part of the shingles zone, meaning unrestricted, travel to all the member nations. stephanie deca has more from zagreb. it's not just a new year. it's also a whole new currency. and here crecia feelings are mixed. seems every, every country who took on the euro standard of leaving the downs you, i think,
4:02 pm
is going to be the same. and gratian nice, so i'm not happy because i think everything will be more expensive. to be honest, i don't really care about that much. so i think it's probably a natural transition. and that's fine with me. when it comes to business imports, exports, and the tourism, the crecia is hugely reliant on many say it's a benefit. more than half of our external trades is done with the euro zone countries, and approximately 2 thirds of the tourist overnight stays done by the tourists who are coming from the euro area. so for us, it's a huge, it's important for our tourism, for our economy. jeweler, mario not guy agrees, i think it will be easier to, to work and many levels and we don't lose money on conversions. the challenge in the short term, however, is that for the next 2 weeks, the local currency can still be used to buy,
4:03 pm
but the change must be in euro's. we will be a little exchange, but though i will push more kind of payment and just slowly transition i think i hope the kind of payment will work would if didn't break, then we are the 1st day of 20. 23 has another 1st 2. as the euro currently takes over your career is also entering the shank and zone. it's the 1st time a country adopt both on the same day. and that means that from now on, if you're entering or exiting from the change in zone, no more identity or board of truck. most of creation is foreign visitors or european to meet a lot, definitely, and borders in and border control or sunday free movement. and leveraging yes for now, it's the new euro, that is one of the main subjects of conversation. and prices will continue to be displayed in both currencies as the people navigate their way through the
4:04 pm
transition. many as austell, i'm sorry we are losing the kona, but nobody as the people, i feel sorry because i think a country which has its own currency maintains its identity and historical values. not just an economic and political change, but for many here. the loss of a small sense of creation identity, even if it comes with benefits, has go live now to stephanie decker. she's in the corporation capital joins us live from zagreb. so stephanie, a new year and a new status for the crime. in the you very much so, and that being heralded here as a massive success were actually expecting the creation prime minister with the president of the european commission to come here shortly. and to have a symbolic coffee at a cafe just next to where we are in pay. in euro's they just made statements at the border as well as lavinia also mentioning the benefits of the shingles zone.
4:05 pm
actually ursula fund lay and talking about how creations will always remember the 1st time they used the euro. yes, it is, and it is a massive success from the sense of economically. there are benefits some for the country for the, for a and exports and imports. but i can tell you that practically when it comes to this transition, it is a complicated one even now already. and kathy is a lot. 1 of shops remain close at january 1st. you can pay in to now, which is the old currency as of today, but change needs to be given in euro's and this is proving difficult. dad, shop owners have told us that this is going to be chaotic. we're seeing it already . i think we're going to see it really in the next couple of days. the next 2 weeks is when the coon are, can still be used and also sammy, the elderly, you know, have savings even at home in cash in kuda. this needs to be changed when they go to the market to buy basic birds. they're going to be getting money back in years. so this transition is going to be difficult, but certainly the bigger picture politically, economically for croatia as seen as
4:06 pm
a huge went. all right, thanks so much. definitely back either crater is adult in europe at a difficult time for the continent. the european central bank is trying to curb inflation after years of providing stimulus packages to support growth. but krasier is hoping it's new currency will bring economic stability as it battles a $13.00 inflation rate. and despite not adopting the when it 1st joined, the you in 2013, the currency is already widely used across the creation economy. earlier, we spoke to the val, again, nero is a political analyst in croatia. he says this monetary move is a good one for creations. as the country solidifies is integration into the e. u. i just put in this nationalistic group oriented people in gray show door that this good cause the problem decrease losing monitoring. so serenity and that
4:07 pm
is not a good choice for creation, but really great is not a, using its monitors or anything for the last 25 years, at least. so it has a fixed exchange rate for euro. and now we're entering in a euro's own a very it has the opportunity for 3 good issues. one is substantially substantial one because the interest rate will be lower and the credit rating will be better. the 2nd reason is stack and go gratia use. most of its business doing in euro's
4:08 pm
and creations are making their savings over the now in euro. and finally, it's a symbolic issue when gray shades becoming a part of hard main integration, also european union. so 14 people have been killed in an attack in afghanistan capital. it happened in the early hours of sunday morning, near cobble international airport, 80 and others were injured. and let's bring in now not for a lot how cabal he's a journalist and political commentator joins us via skype from cobble good to have you with us 1st all, any indication of who is behind this last thank you didn't and sorry for the dark to image to have made because we do not have electricity.
4:09 pm
so that is why i'm using and light to just get this done. unfortunately, yes, today at around 2 o'clock, the exclusion has happened at the military. they do off. as you have mentioned that it is said that around 15 people have been killed in more than 20 are injured in this inclusion. we had 2 other side exclusion and couple as really but the officials did not announced that number of casualties and also. ready i guess you know that today, before we had the attacks on the, on a chinese it on the hotel where the casualties number was not announced by the authorities. so tell me what we have the latest information that is deb. no one had got that responsibility off the attack or the exclusion.
4:10 pm
but what renewable from the context of the political situation usually such type of attacks exclusion are taken by the ice is key. and i've got understand, you may know that last week, the claim, the responsibility off killing of provincial, at least, commanded by the province at the mark of i've gotten his son to and from the nature of the attack. so we can say that the usually the state of attack done by i just cannot understand because i says kid is the only enemy riches claiming that legality of birth is let me give it up. and i've got a claim that we are fighting against and really get a government who is not applying show you
4:11 pm
given all of this history of isis k attacks since the thought about to go over. what impact is it having on the authorities? what impacts that having on the control of the taliban and the country? good find that he made a but the 2 more and the most important impact that in mix one. it challenge is that only a privilege that, that, that is let me get a gun is done, has all the time it's raises that we brought security and a comparable security. the gun is done, but such type of attacks and exclusions questions. this is a claim that, that, that is let me come out of a gun make made and mix. the 2nd point is it creates concerns among the public off of that is because we knew the situation is not with the kind of mechanical to, to get it in
4:12 pm
a socially so such type of exclusions and packs bring this, these questions that the current government is also unable to see q and there that people seek you had said in the 3rd point is that this, it makes it dis discredited that did a cut in government because as they claimed that we brought a security, all that i've done is done in re review with not written it's an exclusion and the security issue. but unfortunately every day. ready or, and many times in a week that re here exclusions and acts in kabul and across the country. so these are the most important embarks, in effect, it make to the people into the government. all right, thank you so much for your update on that. and also to lock about. thank you. ah,

day of peace. ah, security has been increased in brazil's capital ahead of the swearing in the president to like louise and i feel the silver on sunday last week's bomb plot by supportive of outgoing lead a job well, sonata res, tensions in, but as alia, will sonata now, early last october run off for a divisive and bitterly fort campaign. the country has become deeply divided since lou left the office in 2011 after serving 2 terms as president. he promised in his words to make brazil happy again. but it faces many hurdles on k, i. k of reports not long ago, smooth sizes for commons, 9 out of every tender zone children receiving the regular vaccine. it took 3
4:18 pm
decades of hard work to build the public health system in brazil, reaching the most remote areas of latin, america's largest country. but medical professionals say the vaccination program had been all but destroyed in just the last 4 years. well, but i still feel good on the, on the worst blow inflicted by president job, also not as right wing government was to our credibility. we spend 30 years convincing brazilians to get their free shots regularly. but both scenarios costs so many doubts about the effects. see that not only 60 percent of our children are being vaccinated as a result, diseases like measles and polio, which had been eradicated, are making a comeback. revitalizing brazil's public health system is but one of many challenges president like we've seen as soon as possible. we'll have to face once he takes off his son, january 1st. education is another, the called the 19 pandemic, coupled with a lack of investment,
4:19 pm
has increased the education gap between rich and poor, and between whites and blacks. the gather siege, always operable as a lead of both scenarios. wanted to end the affirmative action policies establishing racial quotas and universities. he couldn't but stopped giving students financial aid for transportation and accommodation as a result of 30 percent of those he benefited from quotas, had to drop out, because they had no money to travel back and forth. with the pandemic that went up to 50 percent of the virus also cause public schools 9 year old these years like many who live in really far vellows forgot much of what he had learned about budgeting money. i was unemployed, i just had another baby and had no money for why fi or food? for vinicius, standing on his on, on an empty stomach was almost impossible. and that is perhaps lola's greatest challenge. curbing hunger. brazil is one of the world's largest exporters of grain
4:20 pm
and meet like volunteers. here are scrambling for donations to feed a small portion of the countries growing number of hungry being cio citizenship action has collected 1500 tons of food. this is enough to feed 600000 brazilians, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the 33000000 that have nothing to eat. that is the same number of hungry people. brazil had 30 years ago, a number reduced to 4 and a half 1000000 by 2014. now the country is back to square one. citizenship action, blame successive right when governments for reducing by 96 percent investments in social plans to reduce poverty. to 2016, 2022. that hungered roles from 4500000 people to 33000000 people. that's 50 percent of the country. living incomplete hunger lula has promised to continue distributing
4:21 pm
a $120.00 monthly emergency handouts to the poor as bill so now did. during the pandemic. you also promised an additional $30.00 for every needy child, but finding the money to solve so many pressing social demands at a time when the economy is in crisis, will be perhaps, will less biggest challenge overall. when are joined by a mechanic have live in brazilian. so how's the build up looking for that swearing in ceremony. monica well, there's a lot of security for the ceremony because the country continues divided. i'm standing right here in front of the army headquarters. as you can see behind me there, all these people that have been camping out for 62 days already in the sun, in the rain, they're wearing the brazilian flag. and although president abel sonata has already left the country and is in florida,
4:22 pm
they continue here because they think that the election has been rigged. they are there are calling for a military intervention. and they will say that they will continue here, standing here until they get what they want, basically, and are on the other side. this is one brazil, there's another brazil which is on the other side of the city which is oh, holding a party. everybody is saw is just just singing and all that, but here they say that they want justice. so brazil continues to be divided and that will be one of lawless biggest challenges to unite brazil again. all right, thanks so much monica. now france is among the countries that will require a negative p. c. r. test from travelers arriving from china. the health and transport mrs. are shells, the goal and fault to inspect the new cove at $900.00 testing facilities from
4:23 pm
january. the 1st french authorities will also carry out random cove at 900 tests upon people arriving from china. earlier in the week, italian prime minister, georgia maloney asked all the nations to impose cove with measures against china. chinese president changing ping says these countries entering a new phase in combating the pandemic in his 1st statements since the government abandoned its controversial 0 cove, its strategy, he called for unity in a televised address. beijing handling of the outbreak has prompted criticism and protests on st. louis reports from hong kong at this shopping mall in beijing. people take a few moments to stop and listen to the chinese precedence new year speech. she didn't ping appealed for unity as his administration faces criticism at home. but it's handling of corona virus from want to move back. china is so big a country and different people will have different demands and different views on the same thing, which is normal. well,
4:24 pm
it is necessary to build consensus through communication and consultation. this small would normally have been packed on new year's eve, but infections have searched since the government abruptly reversed it. 0 cove, it policy. and that's put a damper on celebrations. arriaga has actually to was all about coal flap. i hope that the name it goes away in 2023, and a country goes back to normal. when i seated to him, the whole of last year the pandemic is horrible. i hope i don't have to stay at home this new year in hong kong. the mood is decidedly different. nearly all cove, it requirements were removed on thursday. people out to party and hoping for a better year. ahead and then bring hong kong back. yeah, we hope that hunk on is going to be back to its former glory. why, how cold it goes away earlier because it's affecting everybody. so yeah. the like the only indication cove it is still a concern. here are these face masts are mandatory in all public faces even
4:25 pm
outdoors. but while china and hong kong have relaxed ho v rooms, other countries are fearful of another wave of infections and have placed restrictions on visitors from these places. and some health expense say the increased cases in china could lead to the development of new variance of the virus . florence li, al jazeera, hong kong or dr. william schaffner, is a professor of infectious diseases at vanderbilt university medical center. he says, beijing's withholding of crucial information has some countries on edge the concern is that was so much multiplication of the virus, as you say, is a huge surge of infections in the chinese population. that gives the virus the opportunity to mutate and it could possibly mutate into a new variance, a variant that could evade the protection of our current vaccines and therapeutics
4:26 pm
. and because the chinese government is not providing the world's scientific community, the genetic information about the viruses currently circulating in china. the thought is we had best test everyone to make sure that they're negative. before they come to this part of the world. that will bias a little time in the event that there is a new variance of concern that is emerging in china. please understand this is not to just keep cases of covered out. that's right. that's like asking somebody not to pour a glass of water into your swimming pool. we have plenty of coven here. the concern is about new variance. if the chinese government provided information on the genetics of these variants that are now circulating in china,
4:27 pm
i think there would be less concern around the world. but once again, they are withholding scientific information. it's time for the way that his everton hello, we're seen some very heavy rain recently into saudi arabia and there's more where that came from. you can see a fair amount of cloud straddling. saudi arabia, feeding across the gulf into iran. the wet weather will remain across central western areas of saudi arabia said we have seen some rain recently with some flooding in and around a re add you can see the showers well scattered there for monday. similar picture as we go on into choose day. marty must see a few spots of rain late in the night just feeding across cat her as we go on through the next 24 hours or so. but essentially, it's largely dry to the south and to the north of that area of rain $900.00 celsius . therefore, bay route. well, as you drive across northern parts of africa, you could catch it or chair into northern areas of libya, wanted to shout there across the coastal pass of egypt. temperatures in cairo,
