of homes have been destroyed. the rainy season has been described by some as one of the worst they've ever seen. the downforce has affected nearly the whole country. jessina is one of the states where the government has declared a disaster. dozens of villages have been submerged here since the beginning of the rainy season, leaving hundreds of families homeless. wading through flood water is the only way add them is mine, and his mother can get to their home flood waters wrecked the property and their family was forced to seek dryer lands. i woke up to watch entering the homes, got out what we could do. there was nothing left. many have sought refuge on dry our last, but they said they are yet to receive any help. adam says he wants the water to receive so he and his mother could go back and rebuild their home again. but after waiting for 2 weeks now, he's no idea when that might happen. ah,

the new united states house of representatives is being sworn in with republican kevin mccarthy struggling to be elected as speaker ah, 11 o'clock. this is out there alive from the halls that coming up tens of thousands of mourners paying their final respects to football legend fairly. as his coffin arrives at its final international condemnation, off to israel's fall, right? national security ministers, intrusion into the alex of most compound and occupied east jerusalem. picking up the pace of life in china was more karone of ours restrictions placed on those looking to leave the country. ah. so as politicians are gathering at congress for the 1st time this year,

the republicans are taking control of the house of representatives after a narrow win in november's mid term elections. but the front runner for speaker republican kevin mccarthy is struggling to get enough support from conservatives. in his party, leading to little bit of drama. it's ongoing at will to speak to our white house correspondent, kimberly how is it in a minute, but 1st let's go to capitol hill, john hendern, this danny by there. and john, just take us through what's happening if you were well, this is the beginning of the 118 congress. nick, the new members sit down and in the senate. it's pretty well what everyone had expected. the democrats maintain a narrow majority there, which is extraordinary. because in most elections after a presidential election, that is 2 years afterwards, it was midterm. elections tend to cost the president parties seat and it did in the house of representatives, not in the senate. and that is where something extraordinary happening today for

the 1st time in a 100 years. the house is expected to vote on a new speaker taking the places nancy pelosi, the outgoing democrat. and it looks unlikely that they will be able to decide on the 1st ballot. they said that hasn't happened for a 100 years. and the reason for that is kevin mccarthy, the expected leader up until recently, just simply wasn't able to get the vote. and that's because a number, a handful of hard liners have said they don't want him in there. and a number of other people have said they weren't confessions before. they would vote for him. he's got to get 218 boats out of a 435 member congress if everyone votes and what the break away members, republicans, all of them hardliners, what they want is to make the speaker weaker and to make the members more powerful . so one of the things they've asked for is that they want to rule were a number of them can vote out the speaker. currently it has to be half of the

membership wait a risha. originally, mccarthy had agreed that 5 members would be all it would take to call a vote to oust or remove the speaker. now those members say they want that to be one. any one of the 435 members in congress could hold a vote to remove the speaker. he said today, that is not something he's willing to do in a closed door meeting. he said, i'm not going anywhere. he said, i've earned this job. so what we are likely to see unless there's a it in the coming few minutes is a 1st ballot without any resolution, as to who is the speaker of the us house of representative john, we'll leave that for the moment and that's not the roads are our white house correspondent, kimberly how can it's danny by and kimberly. as the interesting leads me, is it as far as joe biden is concerned? does it really matter who the speakers it doesn't necessarily matter who the speaker is, but the whole process and the tone of the process really will have an impact on the

next 2 years of jo biden's legislative agenda because the tone of the tenor, in other words, the drama that surrounds it is likely to trickle down into the business that the house conducts, and that is not good news for joe biden, because the if republican signal that they're willing to turn nasty in and amongst themselves, they're certainly not going to hold back against their political adversaries, the democrats, like the one at the top in the house behind me, joe biden. and so that does not bode well for jo biden's legislative agenda. whether it's the things that he would like to accomplish, whether it means getting rid of student debt, whether it means making sure that there are protections for a woman's right to choose. and many of the other things that he would like to accomplish, like furthering battling climate change. in fact, we already know that the house republicans have a number of investigations. they would like to launch whether it be looking into

the origins of covey 19 and how they believe that the president has handled what they call covet, mismanagement, with the withdrawal if from afghanistan or even turning their sites on the president's son, hunter biden. and questions about his lobbying activities and some of his business practices. it's very clear that the tone of the business that is about to take place in the rub, publican control house of representatives is likely to be very different than what we've seen under democrats. and so in other words, the white house is watching this very carefully, they believe and they've asked that the tone be one that is very cordial and businesslike. but we already know from the signalling of how this a vote for how speaker is expected to play out, that it's likely to be anything but or i can re, thanks for that. i can be awkward reporting that from what i spoke with you to let me a football legend pallet's coffin has arrived at its final resting place in the brazilian

city of santos. there's a fire truck on which it has been carried. a believe the coffin is still a top, not fire truck. it will shortly be taken down and then taken into the funeral area where it's going to be put for the coming years. now the large crowds have gathered on the streets of the city where he began his career. he died on thursday at the age of 80. 2 will be buried near this santos football club. at this ceremony will be a private ceremony on a piano. kip joins us live now from saint also. very close by to that funeral home . tell us more about what's happening. ah, well right now saw the procession has ended. the coffin is behind me now. it's being unload it and that will be brought inside this vertical cemetery, which is the largest in the world. he will be buried on the 1st floor, but i had made arrangements for himself many, many years ago when he had bought

a space on the 9th floor to overlook the stadium. but his family preferred to bury him in the 1st floor, so the public will have access to it. in the coming years there, there's a lot of press here from all over the world. helicopters are flying over us right now. drones and dar, everyone is just waiting for this moment of the 82 year old football legend also was a representative of brazil. i mean, he was saw an ambassador to many causes and he was well known and many, many countries he played in 64 countries at least. so this is a very important moment. he died last thursday and the wait for him lasted 24 hours. it was attended by president who is in not sure moon, the silver, who had just been inaugurated on sundays. so what we have now here,

crowds waiting for the burial for the moment that the coffin will enter the cemetery, are behind me right now in a white car and dog they will be off as i see there's a fire truck behind me. and also there is the, the white car where his coffin is se monochrome, where as you're talking we can see the steve attendance, they're moving the coffin of pellets from the top of the fire truck. that is outside is monica was saying outside the final in place. a pele, which is of a vertical summit tree, called them immoral knacker pole acumen sia and it's in santos. and it will then be placed in a chamber which is the kind of above ground internment. it is the largest vertical cemetery in the world. so there you have it, the legend that is pearly or on his way to being finally late to rest, monica more with you later is really far right minister. it's my been give it as

intrusion into the alex mos compound has been called deeply provocative. national security minister ben giver entered the site on tuesday, angering muslims around the world. it is one of is lamps, holy sites, housing, the dome of the rock and the our acts of mosque. so inadequate the ham and was 0 is really been enough. you, the storming of alexa must, by the israeli minister, been given this morning, constitutes a serious challenge to the feelings of the palestine and people you recall on our people, to confront such incursions that an aim to make an x a must exist temple. this is a violation of all international norms, valleys, conventions, laws, and israel's pledges to the american president what had the ear, several palestinian groups including her mass in garza, her condemn. this had been given intrusion and i said it won't sit idly by it's more been give her is a controversial far right politician. known for his anti palestinian and racist remarks. and he's called for greater jewish access to the alex of moscow. compound

. sorry heart has more now from occupied east jerusalem. vancouver is quite the controversial figure. probably the most controversial in this new government that was sworn in just a few days ago. this is very much in keeping with his personality. it's not the 1st time he visited, but it is the 1st time that it is rainy minister has, has, i wouldn't even say visited this radio call. it visited the palestinians, call it storming, of oxer most compound. i just wanted to give you some context and our carmen jihad is going to show you what it oxer most compound is. it's just behind me here. you'll see that the golden door and that's the dome of the rock. and we've also got the area that space around that that includes the mosque, and that area is called the compound. it's a said wholly a site for most muslims, off the micah and medina and saudi arabia is a very significant for the muslim world. and we've had a lot of reaction because this is not just

a potential of causing publication and violence that could potentially happen not just reaction from the international community, but within the loo could policy as well. members, including the opposition, be to who is also the former prime minister. and i just want to read to the reaction that we've heard from international reaction. we've had this a bus that is israel say that the us biden is ministration has made it clear since this incident this morning that the israeli government, that opposes the israeli government and opposes steps that could home the status quo in the holy sites. with israel, former prime minister and current opposition leader. yeah. le pete has criticized. been give his intrusion stuffy, treated the state of israel does not accept dictates from anyone regarding security, but to quarrel with half the well just so that ben giver will spend 30 minutes on the temple mount is political irresponsibility. and an incredible weakness of netanyahu in front of his ministers. a palestinian teenager has been killed during

his ready raid near bethlehem in the occupied west bank of palestinian health ministry says 15 year old adam. it was shot dead by his ready forces is ready. military says it shot someone involved in what it called violent confrontations with it. soldiers, israel also may don't raise on palestine homes and to cut him, janine and cafeteria. farouk on choose day still ahead. there are analogy 0 good. the us help result germany, the energy crisis tries to scale back its reliance on russia and football. soc christina rinaldo is officially presented by his club? saudi arabia, ah, severe flooding has closed schools in western saudi arabia over the last few days. however, when those pictures right off the bat here, this is medina,

so it's hard to get around there and there is still more rain in the forecast here on wednesday, stretching from the red sea to the golf and now pouring into iraq, we could see some severe flooding in boxes, for example, on wednesday, the forecast is calling for about a months worth of rain within the span of a few hours. so here's a closer look at all of that rain. seen some showers very likely here in the her as while we side early on tuesday and for the next few days. really gloomy conditions on and off risk of shower activity. cooler air rushes in by friday, just the height of 19 degrees. that's below average. winds are picking up in southern pakistan, that's going to flush out the fog and smog and high temperatures and ask about, well, well above average here, fog has been an issue in istanbul. could see a repeat performance of that on wednesday. and for the top end of africa, fairly quite high temperatures, and lego said 35 degrees in central africa. i think for the coast of gap on congo, d, r, congo, and northern angola. bursts of rain there,

some showers start to sweep into the western cape. providence. that will impact sound the height of 22 degrees c. ah ah, ah lou.

oh, got you watching out. there are one of our top stories is our and division in the us republican party is leading to uncertainty about who the next speaker of the house of representatives will be politicians gathering at congress for the 1st time this year. but kevin mccarthy is struggling to get enough support from his party. the coffin football legend pena has arrived at its final resting place in the brazilian city of santos. lodge crowds of gathered on the streets of the city where he began his career. israel's new security minister has intruded into the compound housing the i'll act, so mosque and move policy is describes provocative, has been a stream of condemnations by israeli opposition, as well as our countries like kata, saudi arabia, and jewel. well, let's take a look at what makes been given intrusion into this compound so controversial. as we mentioned, it is the 3rd holiest site for muslims, while jews call it temple mounts variance as a possible site where

a final temple will be built. they pray at the western bull, and only muslims are allowed to pray in the mos compound, but many palestinians feared besides muslim identity is under threats by ultra right wing jewish groups increasingly intruding into the site to pray illegally. a palestinian groups in garza have spoken out about been given us intrusion into the alex and most comp. not that big a deal more, however, eligible or not. we consider this cowardly attempt by been given a dangerous escalation and a provocation of the palestinians. and the arab and muslim nations this good spark a religious war in the region. well, it's my been given has been a controversial figure for many years, is a former youth coordinator of the ultra nationalist cock party which was outlawed in 1994 are being branded a terrorist group is a lawyer by trade is represented a number of far right activists accused of hate crimes against palestinians, and is also in the past, been convicted of incitement to racism and destroying property,

and is called for in his words, disloyal palestinians to be expelled from israel. daniel levy is the president of the us middle east project and a former israeli negotiator and explains the level of coordination involved. and ben givers incursion and why he went to the compound. this was with the full coordination of the prime minister's office of the israeli security agencies of the internal security agency, the shin bet, etc. the timing early in the morning. the head fake of oh, it's not gonna happen to day. so 1st of all, fully coordinated with nut ano, 2nd of all, yes, banga, bell extremist, but also to caution not to make this too exclusively about the person have been given. he is a particular brand of extremism, but let's see the thread of continuity here. and the threat of coordination across the israeli political system. let's remember it was just over 2 decades ago that

sharon, eric sharon then the opposition leader did a visit to our luxor that led to a major outbreak of several years of violence. let's not forget that this time around. not only was this coordinated with latin, yahoo! but this is probably going to be the modus operandi of the new government, the game of one upsmanship of hard line arisen each time they undertake a provocation. and it is not met with a serious response. they will say, you see those who caution and say, be scared, don't do this when we assert what they will in jewish rights, we approving them wrong. so this will be a spiral, i think. and crucially, it plays into not and yahoo's hands because he will turn round to the international community and say, i'm the responsible guy. i'm the safe pair of hands work with me. and we can get through this next period. the 1st shipment of liquefied natural gas from the united

states is arrived in germany. the result called the maria energy is loaded with a around a 170000 cubic meters of energy. that's enough to power route, $50000.00 german homes for a year before the war and ukraine. russia supplied more than half of germany's natural gas to mud. thomas o'donnell is an energy analyst and lecturer at the hearty school of governance. he says liquefied natural gas from the u. s. is crucial to germany to help reduce its reliance on russia. dad, this is another front of the war that everybody knows about the hot war in ukraine . hooton's not doing very well there. his military. so he's counting and the energy war with europe, especially by cutting off and restricting the natural gas to europe to cause economic difficulties. and it is causing economic difficulties to cause the you the alliance and support of ukraine discipline. and so far they said strong and they're doing quite well the united states, as you mention biting, promised last year to send a lot of extra l n g last year. and he did the same thing this year. some people

sort of made fun of it. where is he going to find it? but in both cases, it came from the united states quicker and sooner than anybody expected. so a lot of the russian guess is the made up for by ellen g from the united states in the short term. it, it doesn't like the terminal that's opened up. well, it opened up actually a week or 2 ago, but that's receiving the natural gas, the l n g from the united states to the, from the cold eskew pass on the texas border. um that one, when it's at full tilt, should provide about 10000000000 cubic meters a day. there's other plans that will provide that are coming online soon. that'll provide 5 to 7000000 cubic meters a day over the next 2 to 3 years. and the germans have built, and the 1st couple stations, you know, they would have normally taken about 4 or 5 years. they've been about 5 months. so what, you know, when the german economy wants to do something, industry, they can get it done. they shouldn't have relied on russian gas for all these years

. tens of thousands rarely work as the united kingdom holding a 5 day strike pain conditions remain at the center of the dispute. high false reports and what is usually one of london's busiest stations for british commuters, it's a case of new year. same strikes, tens of thousands of rail workers from the r n. t union began a 2 day walk out on tuesday, kicking off a 5 day run of industrial action across the rail network. this 1st strike leading a skeleton service in some parts of the country monitor all in others have been really hectic. especially getting to work has been really difficult. but fortunately, again, you know, with technology, it does help that we can work from home. i completely understand that people have the right to strike and support them straight in christmas. but also you want to do and have delay. travel trains are still running, particularly at major city hubs like this one. but they're running about 20 percent of normal capacity starting later and finishing earlier in the day. passengers

being told not to travel at all possible. those who are making journeys, having to plan accordingly. the unions won't pay awards that reflect inflation currently running at nearly 11 percent. and they're resisting proposed changes to working conditions, including more driver, only trains, and more mandatory sunday working, and members working lawyers, we phone up in the air and their conditions will be ripped to pieces. they avoid it, know to that, and not it wasn't even 1st in the, the thinking about pay hundreds and then there's a beating contract saying don't throw our conditions away in return for a very modest pay. do the government rejects the unions challenge that it's preventing the rail companies from making a deal at the same time, insisting inflation matching pay awards with hon the economy. there's a fair, reasonable payoff for on the table which 2 of the trade unions have accepted the r m t sadly decided to reject it has to be an offer that's fair, reasonable for the taxpayer,

as well as for the people who work in industry. and we will say go to in reform in the way the industry operates so that we have a proper 7 day road way that passengers can rely on network rail which runs and maintains the tracks. so such a deal is within touching distance. there are reports that improved benefits rather than pay or under consideration. for now though, this winter of strikes i'm disruption rose on harry full set al jazeera, london and medical professionals in the u. k. national hell service say the under pressure. that is, quote, intolerable, an unsustainable. the role college of emergency medicine says delays in care could account for up to 500 deaths each week. several hospitals, health trust and ambulance services declared critical incidents over the festive period. and critical incident is a situation where the substance could not operate properly or challenges more now from london. when you get these kind of warnings every winter, really that the n h s is in crisis, but i think there is a panic at the moment that the system does seem to be in the midst of some sort of

significance breakdown when it comes to health care numbers tell stories i it is a stat for you. if i heard got myself ill or injured in november and take myself to accidents and emergency is a pretty good chance. i would have been one of nearly 40000 people that had to wait more than 12 hours to be admitted to a hospital or a department. now that is an increase of 355 percent on the same stat from the previous november. and it's delays like this the, the president's of the ra college of emergency medicine is saying a causing $300.00 to $500.00 exar deaths not per month, but per week. ah, and he is saying that this is on good day sir. it's not a guesstimate. there is good step to statistics to, to back that up. and his warning against

a listening to government figures who he says might be trying to spin this as being down to the pandemic. he says it's not. incidentally, government ministers has come out and said that this is largely down to the pandemic. as copied 19 measures. the east in china life in major cities is starting to return to normal for the medical system is under strain. with many suspecting that beijing is under reporting the number of cases, katrina you repose now from beijing. in we treat, punching the pace of life is picking up. people aren't going be out to us after weeks of staying inside after a wide spread curve at 19 outbreak. your son who sells traditional suites from his cart. welcome to the lifting of restrictions in december only. what your, of course is good, if indeed all the restrictions are ever one can come out now for was good for contra no. if you were always in lockdown, you have no income for sure. but he says business is better now than its been in

years. the 67 year old had covered 19 last month. many of the people we spoke to in this neighborhood have told us they also called the virus province, at least the 70 to 80 percent of people in this area got carried wealth turned under. we all got sick for those who have recovered, life has returned to normal tests and health courts can't are no longer quiet and to restaurants and public spaces. tuesday is the 1st working day of 2023 and the streets here are busier than they've been in months. many businesses have reopened and most workers have returned to the office. but it's not just the streets that are crowded. hospitals are full of people seeking treatment for covered 19 the chinese center for disease control and prevention says less than half a 1000000 people have been infected nationwide. but scientists say cases automatically under reported. the government insists the situation is under control

. when the issue is high, should i go to torture? nationwide our medical resources have not yet reached a situation of tight supply. we have anticipated a substantial increase in demand. so we are well prepared to to those who are healthy. there's relief that the use of lock downs are behind them and many are looking forward to a new sense of normalcy. katrina, you are the 0. beijing. the philippine president is arrived in china for 3 days. state visits ferdinand marcos junior says he's looking forward to improvement ties with chinese, the decision being expected to sign a deal that would allow manella to directly communicate with beijing on the issue of the dispute in the south china sea and f l player remains in critical condition of the suffering cardiac arrest and collapsing on the feel driven game on monday night buffalo bills safety and dumber hamlin was given a cpr by team medical stuff. he was surrounded by teammates,

some of whom were in tears as he was being treated before being transferred to hospital. the game was suspended christian order. christiana, rinaldo has been officially welcomed by france at his new saudi arabian club. nasa arrived on monday after a green join on a 2 and a half year contract with the salary of 206000000 dollars year. 37 year old to the free agent after high profile. with months to united is being reported, a clause in his contract gives him the option of joining saudi and new cost. so united online, if they qualify for the champion. well, the numbers is staggering. when you break down, when elders reported salary $206000000.00 a year, works out roughly $17000000.00 per month. that's 4300000 a week or more than 25000 an hour. oh, from an old way. dre is football and listen, says that rinaldo, signing will inspire this our league to achieve great success, the amount of investment in saudi football and, and so there's more,

in general in the kingdom has been enormous. and i think it's only going to be going up from here. they're going to try to get big names. who knows, maybe we might get messy, maybe latan and brian on which any, any of these players that we would normally see, go towards previously china, previously. or previous, or until now to the united states of america for the am, unless it could be coming towards saudi arabia to play football. let's wait until we the 2030 mark, which is the benchmark or the deadline for a lot of these. and she does, by that time, i think the target will be that the saudi and he becomes one of the top 10 in the world. and by that time, i think, as you can see from the dominance in the agent champions league, the, the sport in the, the content has been huge and it's taking a big shift. and the next big step is just to be a big competition goalie and comparison to the other big top by european leagues in addition to the others.
