ukraine, foreign minister says patriot missiles from the us will soon arriving keith to help at its fight against russia. ah, plugs the whole robin you're watching. i was 0 last. what headquarters here in dover? also coming up south korea tysons. it's coded 19 protocols after chinese national. he tested positive goes missing while waiting to enter a quarantine facility. antonio badges, the philippine government told us $300.00 police officers to resign as a cracks down on the drugs. trite and security and economic growth on the minds of voters. as nigeria gives up for a general election,

just called the 1400 hours gmc, that's 4 o'clock in the afternoon local time and key for the ukrainian foreign minister has announced us based at patriot air defense missiles will soon arrive in ukraine. washington has pledged $1850000000.00 worth of military aid, which includes those patriot missiles. the us promise that helped join the ukranian presence, visit to washington last month. let's get more of this. and charles stopping, correspondent, he's standing by for us in key. that's a great deal of talk about the arrival of this pending advert systems. and the missiles, what more is being said, where you are charles? well, suddenly this patriot missile system has been highly controversial. of course, the big, the big question over it supplying to crime was whether in fact it was going to be seen, potentially as a non defensive weapon, that the russians would call an escalation and react in kind. what we do know

though, having spoken to lowball a defense units and commodities in those units in recent days, they say that the, the system will only be used to protect what they describe as the most critical potential critical targets in ukraine. and of course, they saying this in the context of these more than a 1000 well over a 1000 to kamikaze drone and cruise missile strikes that i've been targeting various locations and critical infrastructure by the russians across ukraine in recent months, ukrainians in the last 24 hours have said that at least $660.00 kamikaze drones made in iran have been used since this war started. we know that there are millions of people still having to endure rolling electricity blackouts and without access to 24 heating during these winter months. we also know that this

patriot missile system is exceptionally expensive, each missile costs around or up to $4000000.00. so again, it's highly unlikely that this kind of system is going to be used to try and take out these kamikaze drones and cruise missiles that come into the skies and target places across ukraine virtually every day. and it was only 2 days ago where the president of ukraine, volota me, zalinski, was ukrainians, that they were expecting what he described as waves of more drones strikes in the coming days, days and weeks ahead. so yes, although the arrival of these patriot system seems, have been announced by the foreign minister, there are huge challenges in still dealing with these ongoing chemicals. drone and cruise missile strikes. now we have been looking at a sport in this country, a sport that is often described as

a national obsession. and we've been looking at the effects of the war on it. and this is our report to machine gun bullets ripped through alexander's legs. when he was fighting on ukraine's eastern front line, a 3rd bullet was stopped by the mobile phone in his pocket. his scientific nerve was severed. he cannot feel his right leg. and he is afraid. he will never be able to fulfill his goal in life. in a sport, ukraine is famous for around the world. boxing may trust in the war. it is not just a part of my life. it is my life. why should i say it was 3, but now i need to find something else on the feasel exam under competing in 2016 rose to become car key regional champion before returning to fighting the war. last year, he lived in france, where he became regional champion in nice,

promote home in the box and grace me as a person because i grew off is out to father. how can the modern race in man alone, i got into books and, and they tried to change me as a person. it hardens my character and no matter the challenges like being in the army or on the battlefield, or he and hospital, i'm hauled him on. i can take a bunch of codec. you, melissa. there is no surgeon available in ukraine who can perform the necessary operation that alexander needs in order to walk unaided and potentially box. again . he aspired to be a national champion, and one of the reasons is because boxing in this country is often described as a national obsession. one more though brave. this is former multiple world heavyweight title holder and now mer of give tale clinico visiting the frontline town of boss lot, wearing the colors all free, and this is current w b o w

b a. and i b f heavyweight champion, alexander lucy. ah, they're a boxing jims like this one establish 40 years ago, right across ukraine. ah, men who used to train here and they are fighting on the front lines. some of these boxes may eventually do the same. all it could sco has been training here since he was 12. he joined a territorial defense unit when russia invaded last year and you're for a now or more so the war makes it more difficult to train. but when there's electricity and water available, my training feels like a celebration. we are lucky at this gym compared to places like mary upon which fell to the russians and bark moved. we're fighting as heavy as we can come here. thanks to the men fighting on the front lines. there guys who trained at this

german are now fighting and some have been injured. they were warriors in the ring and they are warriors in life. for now, all is xander continues his grueling daily exercise. he can only hope he gets the operation he needs so he can fight again. char stratford al jazeera, give south career is increasing as k with 19 checks and protocols that it's airport . and as after chinese national, he tested positive on arrival, went missing. after waiting to enter a quarantine facility and health officials and military officers say that keeping a close riled international travelers. south korean says around 25 percent short term visitors from china tested positive on arrival on tuesday. and kim has moved into an airport in south korea. slice connecting cities in china to here in china. international airport in south korea are at a fraction of what they used to be in pre pandemic times. and yet short term

very on. that responded responsibly with an attitude of putting lighter light. the chinese government, the corporate 900 situation, both within the u. s. and worldwide would not have developed as it has today. we sincerely hope that all the parties will focus on lashing code 19 of what color the sides, ation of the shows and streets in solidarity and worked to give to prevail over covered 19 as soon as possible that a $300.00 police officers in the philippines have been asked to step down in an attempt to crack down on corruption. interior minister requested all generals and colonel submit their resignation to clay, the ranks of ties to legal drugs on a be low. has this update from manila? the curious secretary of the philippines. ben, her abala said that this is all part of the internal placing efforts of the philippine national police. and he said that this, in fact, was a move that was also recommended by the current police chief general rodolfo as

ravine as himself is not exempted from this call. now this follows a drug raid, back in december where a district chief of the philippine drug enforcement agency together with his agents where arrested and caught with several kilograms of methamphetamine. now the philippine drug enforcement agency is not part of the philippi and national police, but during the last administration, led by philippine president would re good to the 3rd day to turn himself had said that it was the best of his knowledge that police generals within the philippine national police were or are involved in the illegal drug trade. and so i will said that clearly there is an internal problem here and so he said, call it a short cut if you want. but the wheels of justice in the philippines just turn so slow. so this is a radical move. he said that if necessary,

out the fog and smog, their warm pool of air over upon a stand, so harass at 16 degrees as well above average. and likely to see some flooding toward the southwest of iran on thursday with that rain in the forecast, but of unusual rain falling this far south in vietnam at this some of the gears. so for example, hotel men, city, january, you usually see about 10 to 15 millimeters of rain, but with this system here, you could see 2 or 3 times that over the next 24 to 48 hours, indonesia still those pulses of rain rate across the main island of java, and let's go to china right now. it's a gloomy pitcher, but temperatures are above average here. for example, 16 degrees, the high inc wayland on thursday. still some see effect snow in the forecast for northern in western japan. but because it's not as cool, it's not going to be as bad. we're talking 30 centimeters and 12 hours better up the see later. ah

oh on a ah . ah. lou. the me look like you're watching onto their reminder of all top stories. the south south career is increasing its airport checks the cave at 19 chinese national went

missing while waiting to enter a quarantine facility, the visitor tested positive on arrival filipino authorities asking hundreds of police officers to resign in the circle crackdown on corruption. the interior minister requested that all generals and kettles submit their resignation. think he wants to cut ties with illegal drugs on the cranium for him. and it says that the patriot defense missiles will soon arrive in the country, such as the $2000000000.00 worth of military to be praying last month, the package includes the patriot missile. well, russian president vladimir putin has sent a ship armed with defensive missiles to the atlantic ocean. peyton says no country has anything close to the con hypersonic cruise missiles, just what was the way to shoot here. and now i want to thank the specialist in the defense industry complex, who created and started mass production of the unique. what anybody's, as i've said already, there is no equivalent in any country in the world. and i'm sure that this powerful

weapon will allow russia to protect itself from potential external threats reliably and will help us serve our country's national entrance. that's the us. republicans in the house of representatives will reconvene in the coming hours to try and pick a speaker. so they found 2 agreeable. on tuesday, they took 3 attempts, but hotline conservative blocked kevin mccarthy's bid is the 1st time the century that this has happened when i speak to our white house correspondent, kimberly how kit, who joins us now from washington. d. c. a 3rd time unlucky. it seems, i mean, why is kevin mccarthy, kimberly splitting opinion within the republican party itself? well, there are a lot of reasons. there have been criticisms that he is too close to lobby, asked that there are questions about some of the ties that he has with some of his business dealings. but there are also concerns that he is too close to the former president, donald trump. he has been very vocal about his support for the former president. he

has traveled to mar lago there of photos of him standing very close to the president. that was very controversial. in fact, that is not going to help as we go into our 2nd day. now of voting, trying to pick the speaker a given the fact that the former president has given kevin mccarthy a fresh endorsement on his platform. truth social, the former president saying, vote for kevin closed the deal now at kevin mccarthy for his part is confident that he ultimately will become the speaker. ah, he has even, it's rumored moved his belongings into the speaker's office even before this is finalized. and in fact, there is no house business that can be conducted until the speaker is chosen. so he knows that this is something that ultimately has to be completed. but i have for now, he knows that he is shy, the votes that he needs, we believe they're still 11 members of congress that are not in support of him,

and that's what he needs in order to clench the steel. so what we expect the strategy is, is that he's trying to wear down his detractors either to get them to support him or to simply vote present in order to finally get them to support him and ultimately for his bid to become speaker. well, you know, we talked about the democrats breaking out the pulp, cool night. kimberly, watching events unfold in the house. they can only do that for so long because they will soon become the focus of the republican attention. yeah, and that is really the sort of serious nature of all of this is that it is sort of a bit of a spectacle to watch right now. and it is amusing to watch was playing out on the floor of the house of representatives. there is some history being made here and the fact that we don't often see a go to multiple ballots in order to choose

a speaker. and democrats certainly are finding this amusing, but they know that this ultimately will turn serious. and if republicans are willing to fight amongst themselves in such a nasty manner, that nastiness soon will turn towards democrats and specifically to the president investigating his policies. and that will hurt the president's legislative agenda. it'll affect his ability to put in place. things like an assault weapons ban to limit student data and to try and wipe out some of that to limit his ability to combat climate change. all of these sorts of things. in fact, even some of the efforts that the president has already passed in terms of his a building of infrastructure. in fact, the president's going to be talking about that today. and just to show you the contrast between the house of representatives and then the upper chamber, the u. s. senate, the u. s. president is set to leave momentarily from the white house where he is

going to be today. talking with our top republican mitch mcconnell from the u. s. senate in the state of kentucky showing how bipartisanship can actually work, where they're going to talk about a building americas crumbling infrastructure and repairing it. so it does show that democrats and republicans can get along, even if they can't get along in the house of representatives. certainly they can sometimes in the upper chamber and is the white house. so we're going to watch very carefully to see if the president might have something to say about what's happening up on capitol hill. he said to leave very shortly and may have something to say about what's happening as we go into the 2nd day of trying to choose the speaker on capitol hill. it will full of events with you through the day. i was the info for the moment. kimberly, thanks for joining us. so people have been marching in order of 3 kurdish victims killed during an attack in paris. last month. prosecutors have charged

a 69 year old the shootings at a kurdish cultural center. a summer been job id sent this report a day after the funeral of the 3 activists who were killed on the streets of paris . these women have come out, do not just commemorate and pay tribute, but also to remind people here in paris and all over the world about the struggles of kurdish women when you morning with them continue from all over the road from iran, from iraq, from turkey and in theory and they said this has been happening far too often where their comrades are being killed. and this is a, as often as they can to commemorate from the place where the latest with to the 3 of their comrades weren't young activists. there have been telling and then their children are doing them. why did they have to feed persecution? and for how long is the thing to continue? even in therapy, meaning commission wants to crack down on a legal migration by people who travel into the blog through the western balkans.

officials say the root is now the most used entry point to you countries. natasha butler reports now from the albanian capital toronto use ethic, barley feel safe in tarana. although she never imagined ending up there. he fled the taliban in afghanistan with his child and pregnant wife, who had been a school teacher in kabul, they reach the european union by agree spot. he says greek police possessions and harassed them. so they left the you and cross the border into albania. so i'm coming here. the money is good. i can you? please help me. i'm good to hospitality ambulance. some float if you give it to me and some glue for my daughter, my babies and my wife. she helped me. it's a good country and he says he'll remain in albania for now. but most migrants and asylum seekers that arrive in the country don't stay but pass through it and other

balkan countries on their way to u. member states including croatia hungry and austria, a route that the commission says is now the main route for people arriving illegally in the block. c e. u. border agency, front tech. there's more than 120000 asylum seekers and migrant crossed into the u via the soon called western vulcans. route in 2022 that 70 percent more than the previous year. and the highest number in 2016. the increase says this migration expert is partly due to deteriorate and condition for asylum seekers in greece and turkey. and the fallout from the covey crisis during the damage the border where coal. so there is, was a slow down of the lands. and then again, during this year and it's actually the 1st 9 month, there is been an increase of this number of a news never fully recovered from decades under communist rule poverty and

corruption, a wide spread and many people my great abroad for opportunities for now the increase in asylum seekers passing through the country hasn't caused much public concern, perhaps because i bonanza. often understand why some people like us feel they have to leave home. natasha butler. i'll just sarah tarana. oh pena. in the area, politicians of the holding campaign rallies ahead of a general election in february. jerry's wes thing security issue has topped the agenda militants non gangs continued to attack villages across the western part of the country. and with addresses following that rally in kano, almost every leading candidate here in jetta. it's talking about the issues that bothers most nigerian. it's not just security, not the cost of living, but above all, a lot of people feel that if security is checked, that will be than a bon priority for now. simply because whenever you go in this country,

the police can't even handle the situation on the ground. the government has to deploy security forces to make sure that the police are assisted to deal with such problems. but again, these problems continue from the ne, both what i mean suggest that you've now into it's 14 and then the vendor tree and the kidnappings from the north was central positive. get them to continue. and also if you look at the distant part of niger to the south east of the country that he knew. so just the by separative movement, once an independent globe. yeah. for movement is burning government offices and targeting as because we do so basically we can do speech, we can use that. the priority is to stabilize the country to stabilize the quality and invested education, restore electricity, and deal with issues like that thailand legalize the sale. and use of marijuana 6

months ago. but the critics say the mark is out of control. some argue that needs to be heavily regulated or classified as a criminal offense. again, teddy chang report. it's the enticing u. attraction. pulling terse bank to thailand after several years of coven, 19 isolation. well, not exactly new marijuana has always been available. but now travel as a flooding in to get a legal high. we used to have this in thailand as people will just go to regular bar and just buy whatever they want in the regular. and suddenly it's just like a big trend for me. it's good that it's working tourists are probably coming him more for the we'd rather than to come and experience thailand properly. i however, i think it's great. i think it should be legal. with legislation in 2020 to the cannabis market exploded tourists and locals to flock to the new license. we'd retailers shops are popping up on almost every busy street is now

a booming business. they have been issuing the license is about 5000 for the shops . right now in thailand wish mean like they are lot of shops, but not everyone is thrilled by marijuana's new status. some of the most passionate advocates for legislation, but found their arguments trampled in the stampede to get into the market. the people that i been wible along side to how this legalize and not the one benefiting the one who are opening up shots every other bloody day. right now is not the people that i knew. i do not fight for this so that there are california weed on bankcorp streets and the law remains unclear in many areas, purchase and possession in private as legal. but technically recreational use is still against the law.
