it's 0 covered strategy. well katrina, you joins a slide now from beijing. so katrina, as far as you can tell, what is the latest situation in terms of the surge of coby cases in china? well, according to china's cdc, they reported just one new death from carver to day on monday. and for the entire month of december, they said that that nationwide, there were only 10 curve deaths officially report. now health experts around the world are finding it very difficult to take these figures seriously. they say there's dramatic under reporting here in china, not only of debts, but also of coven infections, especially given that according to some scientific estimates, 800000000 people across the country are expected to catch curve it over this winter . lauren, and they say a hundreds of thousands are expected to die over the next few months. now here in beijing, i've seen one publication did a survey of its readers and 70 percent of respondents and the quote covered in

recent weeks. and we do know that hospitals across aging are full, especially of the elderly and crematorium. and funeral homes are saying that they are busier than they have ever been. i spoke to one doctor off the record who told me their hospital is full and they're not so much worried about the treatment of all these covered patients. they're really worried about the knock on affected this will have on doctors abilities from hospitals, abilities to treat other illnesses because the hospitals are really so stretched already. now that's one side of the picture. the other side is that many people who are young and healthy, who court corvette last month, they have now started to recover. so if you walk through the streets of beijing now past the river areas where families are gathering shopping centers, there are quite a few crowd. it's bustling, more bustling than it's been and weeks. people are going to restaurants, they're going to cinemas at their shopping. that's because they're really excited to finally live in a world where they don't have to have this looming threat of having to lock down.

they don't have to scan their health, kill our court everywhere they go, and they don't have to take a regular curve and tests or people are very much looking forward to living a normal life and also being able to travel abroad finally and katrina. how is china reacting to the increasing list of countries who are announcing tighter controls on chinese visitors but on is clearly not happy about this trend is foreign ministry spokesperson said that it is not scientific to close a border. that's not going to prevent the spread of co veteran and that's what made it many medical experts are saying, the w h o has said though, that it is understandable that many countries would want to protect their populations. given the lack of comprehensive covert information that's coming out of china, they say that they need more real time information given under the w h. r. they want information about infections. how many i see you beds are taken. they want

real time information, more accurate information regarding deaths and your response to that aging is simply said that they are not withholding any information from the w h o that they are being transparent as possible with the with the w t o authorities, katrina, you live for sin beijing there, thank you. into national monetary fun, says a 3rd of the global economy will slide into recession this year. it's warning 2023 will be much tougher for hundreds of millions of people. the i'm f games of simultaneous slow down of economic activity in the u. s. europe and china, caused by the war and ukraine inflation, higher energy costs and rising interest rates are vickie prices. from the center for economics and business research in london. she explains the headwinds that global economies are facing. that had been the expectation that perhaps with the removal of coverage restrictions, china would re merge if you like, and reunited with the rest of the world after the problems that he has had for

a number of months now. and all slowing growth. but of course, in the next few months, i think what the, methinks, is that they're going to be problems. because of course, covert is spreading. and the, there's the question, of course, of traveling to the rest of the world by us sort of a chinese citizens where they go to the u. s. with the go to the u. k. whether they go to france and italy and spreading or course to many other countries as well. and that's a big issue for china. so over the next few months, we're probably going to see quite a slow down there as well. what they are anticipating is the growth in world trade will slow down to just one percent. now, one percent growth in trade means a low source of countries that depend on it in the developing world as well, are going to suffer from this. this is one of the slowest growth rates that we have seen and of course we had coverage. but since the development since coverage with using restrictions, that is a pretty poor outcome to have in 2023. so i think that's going to slow down everybody, and that stems took

a significant extent from what is happening in the biggest countries in world. but with inflation slowing down with a bit of luck is going to carry on. what we're seeing is energy prices slowing down depends, of course, what happens in china in the next few months, we've seen gas prices being very substantially reduce the seen food prices internationally coming down as well. it takes a bit of time until that's reflected for the consumer in what they're paying at the end of the day at the shops. but i think it's coming and i think that's going to be the big cost. damascus international airport has reopened after an israeli attack in the southern parts of the syrian capital. it was out of service for several hours after mister strikes killed to military personnel. well, this comes 6 months after syria briefly halted flights following israeli strikes on the airport. the damaged runway and a terminal or grammy curry is a preschool analyst. he says the latest attack is part of a long running campaign. these attacks have been going on for years in syria. the israeli is attack sometimes syrian positions, sometimes iranian positions,

as they call them and sometimes has his bottle of facilities. so iran and syria are very united front confronts israel. and israel constantly tries to make it difficult for them to coordinate their activities and arms and ammunition and things of, of that nature. these red is never announced the details of what they're doing. so most of what we hear a lot of this comes from people with n, syria, and sometimes you have conflicting reports as we had a couple hours ago about how many people died. so from this year in government this year and opposition, you'll get conflicting reports. so this is retained, this is, there's nothing new it's been going on for years. they've had targets all over syria and they'll keep doing it. the likelihood is that this is driven by the new government had to buy benjamin that to sigma probably to many different people,

the iranians, the arabs, their syrians, the russians, everybody that, that israel is going to maintain this policy of striking. and he target that it thinks as a danger to its own security authorities in ukraine or say russian drone strikes on energy facilities and the capital. keith of caused heating and power outages were earlier. russia and ukraine accused each other of bombing civilian areas on new year's eve, russian strikes, hit holmes, and the hotel and keith killing. at least one person. moscow says it was targeting drone factors. well, in the new year's address to the nation that present for them as the lennox, the fact the ukrainian people for staying unified lo looking. i wish you health day ukrainians, new year, new day 45 shy heads was shot down on the 1st night of the year. i thank l. if horses, pilots, antea, craft warriors gratitude to the aid defense of our grand forces for another 12 down

iranian drones. our sense of unity, authenticity, life itself, all those contrasts dramatically with the fear that prevails and russia, they are afraid you can feel it and their right to be afraid, because they are losing drones, missiles, anything else will not help them because we are together and they add together only with fear, and they will not take away a single year from your grain that will not take away out independence. larosa says all strikes are targeted at military infrastructure. this is good to go, but up with this yellow throw on december 31st. the armed forces of the russian federation carried out a strike with high precision long range air lords, weapons at the facilities. the military industrial complex of ukraine evolved in the manufacture of combat. drones used to carry up terrorist attacks against the russian federation, storage areas and attack u. v launch sites will also hit plans by the key regime to carry out these attacks

in the near future have been thwarted. so ahead harrell now does air after years of tense relations between columbia and venezuela, the bridge thinking the 2 nations reopened. we assessed that economic benefits tell you why people in zimbabwe and zambia facing electricity cups. ah. with europe in africa, let's go, here's your weather update for monday. good to see you. some shower is dancing across central, eastern and southern portions of spain. nothing major here. so let's go to the northwest. still a warm feet of air, but periods of rain for paris, brussels and amsterdam. it's dry across ireland in britain, but temperature is low here, but will shake up that weather pattern by tuesday. the return of rain, ireland,

a dozen countries including france, have now imposed restrictions on travelers from the country. international monetary fund says a 3rd of the global economy will go to recession this year. it's warning 2023 will be much tougher for hundreds of millions of people. damascus international airport has been reopened off to and his railey attack on southern parts of the syrian capital was out of service for several hours off the missile strikes that killed to military personnel. it was a no show. it's a silva, i was sworn in as brazil's new president on sunday of thousands witness. the integration of the veteran left when politician, widely known as lou. that is the 3rd time he's hell, the nation's highest office. a post one after closely fort election or latin america editor. you see newman reports from priscilla. ah, rudy sworn in president reecy, nancy lula. the silva walked up the ramp of the presidential palace flanked by

members of brazil's diverse society, including an indigenous leader, a black woman, a disabled man, a child, and a rubbish collector. it was a symbolic gesture. they shared the task of bestowing lula, the presidential sash, in lieu of outgoing president jade bulls. fernando, who refused to recognize his successor, will that name of thy, above to law, we will use the weapons that our adversaries fare the most. the truth that prevails are the lies. hope that conquers fair and loved defeats hatred. thousands of supporters from all over brazil had come to witness the return of the man they call the people's president. firemen doubts them with water to help overcome heat and exhaustion. many like the piano and i vienna had arrived before dawn. i have been waiting for for years for democracy, for the brazilian people to eat and have jumps loose. political, come back, is nothing short of extraordinary. in 2018, he was sentenced to

a nearly 13 year prison term for corruption. although it was later released after his sentence was overturned, o 8 kilometers from the palace, fierce a ponies camped near a military barracks, refusing to recognize their left doing present. they bow to continue resisting lula one by a very small margin in a bitterly fort election. oh, but his supporters are overjoyed. unit him health was overcome with emotions you spoke of ending hunger among the poor nap parked up was a hook lines of people at the doors, a butcher shops looking for bones to alleviate hunger, while at the same time, others white to buy imported cars and private jets such a social chasm is an obstacle to the building of a truly just democratic society. blueness, promising to reinstate most of the social programs that made him so popular during

his 1st 2 terms. he has a woman tremendously high expectations amongst brazilians, and that's always dangerous because their expectations that he may not be able to meet rulers, powerful opponents, led by former presidential seattle, are determined to thwart his government at every turn, leaving the new president. little time to celebrate the sea in human al jazeera brazilian, or one of the lunars at campaign promises to take action on the amazon rain forest . climate scientist on that nobel laureate, carlos no brit told alderson. the new president has the right policies to stop deforestation. president basile march through all his political career. he always descended mobile development, which would see the different people, the local communities, and the amazon forest as enemies or economic development. he wants to get rid of

the force to replace by pastures by my knee. i think, you know, person will have the, the, the there right proposals to stop that. the destruction damsel, brazil hes about 1600000 square kilometers in careful wrenches and lula, saddler, 300000 square kilometer high degree pastures. and we can't really move towards a much more sustainable lifecycle farming, getting a lot of these areas for reforestation. so noah has a plan to restore forest emmanuel these areas and to improve the productivity of livestock for me in 12 years. president lula, 2 terms and then person, duma, deforestation reduced 80 percent in the amazon. so they, they know how to do it. it's more difficult now because organized crime really took

over all these actions in the amazon. but i am very optimistic that actually in 4 years in his term as president deforestation rates will reduce to cause to 0. a coffin of pele has arrived at filler bell mirror stadium in the city of santos. for the football legends wake escorted my medicaid. it travel from south or he died on thursday. the wake will take place in the center of the field with the man known as the king of football, made his name on his here as john home is in santos, and spoke to brazilians. morning before we all know pallet's as the global, super star for brazil, the one in the yellow shirt who won 3 woke cups. but we here in santa hills, where it really all started for him. when he joined this team in the stadium behind me, as a 16 year old, you can see him that he's on the rural, they're on the corner and pele. once he joined this team,

helped to make them into something in the sixty's referred to as the fantastic holes, a fantastic team that started to sweep all before them nationally. roy in front of the central stadium. i'm looking at it now is a very particular type of brazilian box with a lunch comanche, i'm this one belongs to alamo, and he's such a fan of santos. it is got 14 tattoos of the club. one stunt that to be on his forehead. and i asked him, what pele meant to him? you'd better on monday, i saw paley playing once, and then i never left here. he was a monster in the football field. he came many times to the bar and we'll talk to every one. he was the most humble guy in the world. we spoke to antonio de pass, who we saw because he was interestingly dressed about what pele meant on a global stage and to him. and so for the philip here said you meet our daughter, bailey. okay, there. i am a fan because i admire him in adam pal is the king of brazilian football fan. he

created the brazilian football and took it to outside brazil. vicki where from okay, it's a real mark of pallet's legacy that even though he retired for the last time 45 years ago, he so well remembered. he still full talk as the king. that's his nickname. here in brazil, but i think he's also for that way for a lot of people outside of the country, people too young to ever see him play live. so many of his games, not even on video because they were played so long ago. but still he seen as a very particular unique kind of genius, a bridge connect in columbia and venezuela has fully reopened for the 1st time in nearly a decade. allowing people in congo to move across, improve relations between the 2 south american nations, made it possible. as a sondra pity report, it is the seeing that people living along this border have waited for 4 years. a line of passenger cars crossed from columbia into venezuela on sunday, symbolically and practically ending years of tense relations between the 2

countries. although now my grand about it is really a great joy for all colombians to be able to move between the 2 countries. again, many of us were used to moving freely and it made us very sad that for many years these 2 countries were separated. so we are very happy to rate is we opened the t v as bridge on january 1st with the festive by national ceremony. balloons flew in the air while government delegations met at the center of the bridge that until recently had been blocked by containers placed there by the venezuelan army. oh, your former to day with this formal opening, we fulfill the political will of president nicholas maduro and gustavo petro, of total and transparent openness of the border with columbia. left his columbian president, gustavo federal head, announcing normalization of diplomatic relations with bin sweller. after winning elections in august, the 2 countries have gradually restored border crossings and commer since then. the

shared 2200 kilometers border had been partially closed 7 years ago, and completely blocked in 2019 after the columbian president, he ran duke, questioned venezuelan president, nicholas, my daughters reelection. since then, security along the border has deteriorated with the on groups controlling the legal transports of goods and the exodus of venezuelan migrants. now people on both sides, many by national, are hoping they will benefit socially and economically. well, mr. glen mondanca, the former brotherhood is back and this is what the venezuelan people want, that we build brotherhood again that our van, it's allan brothers come through with vehicles the day end to columbia because many people have their relatives on the other side of the border where but i mean, if he's a trade between the 2 countries, was worth over $7000000000.00 us dollars back in 2008, but has collapsed to less than 300000000. since while returning to those levels will be difficult,

the reopening is brought relief and hopes for better times ahead. allison that i'll be at the, i'll just see it woulda. 14 people have died in an attack on a prison in the northern mexican city. whereas 10 of the dead were prison guards, 24 inmates were able to escape. during the dorna sold by gunman, an armored vehicles writing also took place inside the prison during the attack. the facility hope inmates from several drug cartels at the se 2022 was one of the worst on record for gun violence. in the us, with a 648 mass shootings, state and local authorities have been passing the was trying to limit the supply and use of firearms. but those efforts are facing you obstacles. and she can see reports from washington d. c. it's been 10 years since the sandy hook, elementary school shootings, 26 people were shot dead including 20 children between the ages of 6 and 7.

at the time gun control advocates hoped it would be a turning point. surely this would catalyze federal action to limit the sale of assault weapons and high capacity magazines. but the annual national vigils are victims of gun violence in washington. d. c, a traditional gun office handy hook, joe biden, who was the 1st president to attend, made it clear he wasn't satisfied with what has been achieved, such as the gun control legislation passed last summer. together we made some important progress progress. most significant gun law passed in 30 years was still not enough. even the most ardent supporters of that law describe it as modest. the key provision was expanding background checks for 18 to 21 year olds before they buy a gun. and the absence of the bipartisan congressional action needed for meaningful gun control legislation. state legislatures have been acting, responding to public outrage following mass shootings. and it says using strict regulations, for example, following

a high profile mass shooting democrats in virginia passed a raft of gun control legislation. but those efforts have been put into jeopardy following a supreme court ruling last year. the court decreed that only firearm regulations that were part of the historical tradition of the u. s. gun laws were constitutional. for those fighting gun control, the courts have now become the main weapon to row back. whatever efforts have been passed legislatively, they say the ruling means if a gun law wasn't on the books on the 18th or 19th century, it isn't constitutional. there were very, very few restrictions, extremely hard to find any kind of restriction back them. and that's what the founding fathers wanted to keep, but lawyers fighting for gun control say, this is a misreading of both the ruling and of history. first, they argue that country to popular perceptions, restrictive gum permit laws were in place by the late 1900 century, around the country. and they feel an assault weapons ban is consistent with the supreme court judgement. hope weapons are not for self defense. they're not suited

to self defense. they're not used for self defense is about an individual right to self defense outside of the home. it doesn't say that it's about a right to take it on and walk into a school and gone down a bunch of kindergartners. so the expectation is that mass shootings will continue in 2023 hours will bursts of outrage and calls for something to be done, but for now, meaningful gun control remain some way off she ever time. see al jazeera, washington evacuation warnings are in place for parts of northern california. were flood waters of inundated homes and buildings, or then 12 centimeters of rain fell in san francisco on saturday, making it the 2nd were to stay there in 170 years. in the east bay area, people had to be rescued by boat on their flooded homes. many roads are submerged and the flood warning is in place. thousands of people have been stranded in the philippine capitals main airport after major power outage brought travel to a halt. around $300.00 flights are grounded in manila off the face of both the

if it's actually is $1200.00. so for us to cut it, we have to move in the community from ryan to our policy and everything. so to us, electricity is actually the 1st thing that we are now business. the barbie's park, a plane on mismanagement corruption, aging coal plants, and more recently, low water levels. applica reba, south power station. the malware i used to power outages with some areas having no electricity for most of the day. the government has to import electricity for mozambique and zambia, and other countries in southern africa. i take in civil action lake ariba is the biggest source of power for both zimbabwe and neighboring zambia. but water labels have dropped significantly because of recurring droughts, low rainfall, and an increased use of water to generate power. zambia has also started rationing power and it's affecting businesses here in the capitol lusaka. i was there very

disappointed because many of the products that we saw here about 80 percent the fresh products. and when they get back to a small scale our, our business is not here to short, so see us get affected. zombie as government says the pol cuts will continue until water levels rise in lake ariba. in zimbabwe, leaders have told bay people, electricity services will get better. all those he can do is wait and hope they are right. how to matessa out there had, ah, this is out to sarah and these are the top stories. the recent surgeon code 19 infections in china has prompted a growing global response around a dozen countries are imposing restrictions on travelers from the country. france has begun testing arrivals and this.
