6:02 pm
so yes, we start with the reported surgeon cove. at 19 cases in china, european union officials, a meeting in brussels to discuss a joint response. the german foreign minister says countries should take this very, very seriously some chinese regions and now seeing up to 1000000 new cases day off to baking, relax that strict curbs. last month, south career is increasing airport screening after chinese citizen went missing after testing positive on arrival. and japan is also tightening. border control measures by ging says, restrictions on its travelers are discriminatory and is called on europe to stop politicizing. the pandemic will need to either you'll push argon. yeah, we also know that many people see that if the u. s. and not politicized the pen to make it very on c. s, but responded responsibly with an attitude of putting lighter this light. the chinese government daily the covered 19 situation, both within the u. s. and world wide would not have developed as it has to day. we
6:03 pm
sincerely hope that all the parties will focus on lighting clover 19. avoid color. the cessation of the a shell of streets in solidarity and work to give it to prevail over cove and 19 as soon as possible, you will get more on the meeting if you health officials with dominant cane who study virus and berlin. so donna, what are the chances of something definitive coming from this the thing that they always ministers, all as officials who are missing and the meeting starts in quite soon. what they're all going to say they want is a coordinated approach. an idea of getting a pan european response for the issue that got to deal with is that the cdc, that's the european agency, which looks into disease control. and that sort of thing. will it saying that it doesn't see that there is a greater need to bring, bring in unilaterally the sorts of measures that we've been hearing about, about controls or airports tests. and that sort of thing any further than already
6:04 pm
are in existence because they believe that the variance that are to be seen in china already in the european union. and therefore, it would be as it were, shutting the door after the horses bolted. thus my words, not there's of course, and so what you have there is there is clearly a feeling that something needs to be done. but that idea that maybe they're a little bit hamstrung by what their own scientists are telling them. so upon e response at what, why do different, you governments have different approaches. will that cut to the heart of this? we have heard in the course of the last few hours from the german foreign minister and annabel bark, where she spoke about the fact that needs to be these pan european responses. she was a little bit coded in what appeared to be of them, slightly implied criticism of the way that china has made available. it's information about this current wave of covert and that sort of thing. but the problem is that some countries have long memories. they think that they are exposed
6:05 pm
by the possibility of people arriving with cove. it's in a considerable number. the italians, for example, clearly have a particular history, a view about what happened in their country. going back at the start of the pandemic. and so they have taken the decision that they have done whereas you have other countries, as i say, who look at what the e c d c of said and say, well, it's not necessarily something we should be doing right now. but it has to be said that there is a growing number of countries in the european union and in europe, per se, the united kingdom, who are looking at the situation and are actively considering bringing in sorts of measures that the italian government has done. so all eyes on russell's right now to see what they might say, but the point to make here, the big caveat is that the medical advice, the scientific advice they've been receiving suggests not to expect any particularly serious development to day or directly with afloat dominic cane
6:06 pm
reporting from berlin. well, as we mentioned earlier, south korea is increasing cov 19 check to the airport. it says around 25 percent of short term visitors from china tested positive on arrival on tuesday unit kim reports now from in june 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 visitors who are able to walk through those doors would do so straight into a p. c. r testing booth, and from there, those who test positive would be moved to a hotel nearby for a week long florentine on their own expense. now health official say they found $73.00 positive cases. on tuesday, accounting for about 25 percent of china arrivals on that day, not including locals who would test within 24 hours at a local clinic near them. now these positive cases are being analyzed for variant
6:07 pm
information. and despite these tightened protocols, we are already hearing on day 2 since roll out of one man who got away on the way to florentine forcing officials to have to put out an alert hostage and will you need all the chinese national immune forties tested positive for corporate control, airports, and lifted up permission while entering auto via quarantine bus. it is regrettable that such a disgraceful event occurred. officials war that such violations would lead to deportation and future entry baz possible fines, as well as jail time as they would run in a violation of the countries health codes. officials also saying it is becoming more and more difficult to understand what is happening with then mainland china as transparency on information is becoming more and more difficult. ah.
6:08 pm
the u. s. house of representatives will look to break a deadlock in the coming house. it is lifted, unable to swear in new members all engage in proceedings of any kind. politicians fail to appoint a speaker on tuesday after a group of online republicans refuse to support the nomination. a fellow party member, kevin mccarthy. john hendern has this report now from capitol hill. it was a picture of republican chaos for the 1st time in a century. members had to vote for the speaker of the us house of representatives more than once and still after 3 times failed to produce a winner. a speaker has not been elected. a group of dissatisfied right wing republicans in the house. freedom caucus had a list of demands, easy removal of the speaker off prime committee assignments in fiscal conservatism . and to highlight them, they banded together to block would be house speaker kevin mccarthy might the day
6:09 pm
began as it has every 2 years for 200 years. there were nomination offline. i rise today to nominate the gentleman from california. kevin mccarthy, a came jeffries of new york. there were votes. mccarthy, jeffries, mccarthy, jeffries. when even with the votes counted no 11 again and again toward and again inside the capitol. and at the white house, democrats, including president biden, watched the embarrassment of their political rivals. he's just not going to insert himself, he's going to let the process play out. i and continue to do the work of the american people. and they cheer democrat hakim jeffries, the honorable hacking jeffries of the state of new york has received 212 who came out on top in all 3 ballots, but not with the majority needed to win the speakership. the voting has a long way to go to beat the record. in 1856. the house picked a speaker after
6:10 pm
a $133.00 ballads in 2 months. the new speaker will have a razor thin majority and little ability to pass legislation with a democratic senate and a democratic president is mccarthy and his allies regroup and hopes of winning another day. the rebels marked the day as a victory and proof of their power in a clearly divided party. john henderson, al jazeera capitol hill. well, i'd speak to our white house correspondent, kimberly how could he joined us now from washington, d. c. i. kimberly. why is this proving so difficult for the republicans? well, it has a lot to do with the divisions within the party in the division has to do with that shadow that looms over the party. and that is the former president, donald trump, and those that support him and those that don't. and kevin mccarthy is representative of that. he is still aligned with the former president in some form
6:11 pm
or fashion. and he was very much above supportive. donald trump. in fact, he's gotten a fresh endorsement from the former president on truth social one of the. 2 platforms that is, belongs to donald trump, he has said both for kevin closed the deal. and so this is something that is attached to kevin mccarthy. and another reason that there is this division within the republican party as it has to do with the sort of underwhelming performance of republicans in the mid term elections that happened not so long ago. and that is also again to do with the fact that many republicans still cling to the former president and many within the party see this as the past and want to move forward toward the future and put that chapter behind them. and so the reluctance of some republicans to do so has really left the party divided. and so this is why there is
6:12 pm
this difficulty in choosing the speaker. they are simply not able to get over this hurdle. and so this is why we are now in this 4th ballot. and so there are still a lingering 16 members. we believe that are still holding out. we know that kevin mccarthy is working. the phone's trying to convince them he believes that if he works, the falls long enough, eventually his detractors will get on board or simply give up and vote present. and ultimately he will become the speaker of the house or so for the time being, democrats may be enjoying the drama, the show, but it will get ugly for them soon enough. right? yeah, that's absolutely true. busy there was, we say, washington, there are certainly getting out the popcorn sitting back and watching the show, but it does have serious ramifications for democrats. number one, they're going to essentially feel the republicans nastiness soon turn on them in the form of investigations i. it's going to play out in the 4 investigations on the
6:13 pm
top democrat at the white house. that is joe biden. and this is going to be devastating for his legislative agenda for the next 2 years. it means that there are going to be investigations into not only the president's son hunter by to which we know republicans have their sites on, but also it's going to stall anything the president hoped to accomplish, whether it be an assault weapons ban, something that we know is dear to his heart, but also things like attacking climate change, which we know is something that he campaigned on as well in a very quickly we should point out. well, the house of representatives is sort of muddy the in this controversy, there is the upper chamber, the u. s. senate where things are going a little bit more smoothly. in fact, the top republican, mitch mcconnell is going to be seen today with the joe biden. they're going to be going to, in fact the president has just left just now off of marine,
6:14 pm
one of the self lot of the white house. the 2 of them are going down to the state of kentucky where they are going to be appearing side by side, a top democrats, off republican, getting along smoothly talking about how to rebuild america's crumbling infrastructure. so it is possible to work together, even if we're not seeing it right now in the house of representatives, or it can be will either for the time being and see how things pan out in the coming years look. a pretty was still head on the news are including wide pakistan's decision to turn off the lights in miles and market places has shopkeepers worried. it is winter. apparently the northern hemisphere. some areas aren't exactly cold right now. we'll ask the scientist what's going on? an incredible finish and the 1st world's morton job unit 2023 more. come out with gemma in sport.
6:15 pm
the ukrainian foreign minister has announced us base patriot. a defense missiles will soon arrive in the country. washington has pledged $1850000000.00 worth of military aid, which includes the patriot missiles us promised this help during the cranium. presidents visit to washington last month. charl stratford has worn out from keith . this patriot missile system has been highly controversial. of course, the big, the big question over supply you claim 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 mobile a defense units and commanders 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
6:16 pm
potential critical targets in ukraine. and of course, they saying this in the context of these more than a 1000, well over a 1000 chemicals, he drone and cruise missiles strikes that have been targeting various locations and critical infrastructure by the russians across ukraine. in recent months, this patriot missile system is exceptionally expensive. each missile cost surround, we're 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 chemicals. he drives and cruise missiles that come into the skies and target places across ukraine virtually every day. 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
6:17 pm
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 for me just in the water. it is not just a part of my life for it is my life. why should i say it was 3, but now i need to find something else. the feasel examiner, competing in 2016, rose to become car key regional champion before returning to fight in the war. last year, he lived in france, where he became regional champion in nice, promote home in a box and grace me as a person because i get off his out to father. how can the modern race in man alone,
6:18 pm
i gotten to books and, and they tried to, 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 hold him gone. i can take a punch or school. take your 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 vill breathe. this is former multiple world heavyweight title holder. and now men of give tale clinico visiting the frontline town of book lot, wearing the colors all free and this is current w b o w b a. and i b f heavyweight champion alexander lucy club.
6:19 pm
ah, there are 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 the territorial defense unit when russia invaded last year, he jerked away now are correct. most of the war makes it more difficult to train. but when there's electricity and water available, my training feels like a celebration. we're lucky at this gym compared to places like mary upon which fell to the russians. and bach mood were fighting as heavy. deborah, so we can come here, thanks to the men fighting on the front lines. their 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,
6:20 pm
all exams continues his grueling daily exercise. he can only hope he gets the operation he needs. so he can fight again. john stratford al jazeera keith in nigeria. politicians had begun holding campaign rally the head of a general election in february during wes thing. security issue has top the agenda militants and armed gangs continue to attack villages across the northwest. and part of the country i would address is following that rally in kind of almost every leading candidate in jetta. it's talking about the issues that bothers most niger and 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 then a barn priority for now, simply because whenever you go in this country, the police can't even handle the situation on the ground, they federal government has to deploy security forces to make sure that the police
6:21 pm
are supposed to deal with certain problems. but again, these problems continue from the ne, the book lot, i'm just now into it's 14 and then the vendor tree and the kidnappings. and then also a central part of the pocket continue. and also if you look at the distant part of this whole piece of the country that he knew. so i guess the by separate if you want an independent can probe. yeah. for movement is burning. government offices are trying to do as because we do so basically we continue to speak to will tell you that the priority is to stabilize the country to stabilize the quality and invested education, restore electricity, and deal with issues like that. pakistan's government has ordered shopping males and markets to close early as part of a plan to conserve energy. it says the shorter hours could save the country
6:22 pm
hundreds of millions of dollars. the store owners want the decision reversed, saying it will be harmful to their business or castorena's in economic crisis and his struggle to find foreign currency to pay for energy imports. while pakistan relies heavily on imported oil to generate power spending $3000000000.00 a year. and it needs more than $30000000000.02 pay for its debt repayment and energy imports through until june. but his lam about his having difficulty financing that debt. it says the cost of last year's floods make it difficult to comply with the terms imposed by the international monetary fund for its $6000000000.00 bailout program. let's big now to secondary biz. enjo, who's a development economist joins is now from karachi. sir, just wondering, 1st of all, how practical is this? because even life in the cities doesn't start until 8 or 9 o'clock and if mouse have to close, then, well, what's gonna happen. thank you very much for having me on the show to day. and as you said, i think you answered your question yourself, that it's unpractical,
6:23 pm
especially in a, in a, in a country like back style in a city like grouchy. i am currently based out of garage, which is the metropolitan, which is also odd. there the bread and butter off the back musket of pakistan. and if you, if you look at karachi, for instance, the timing that the real market starts the open at 8 pass. if you look at, for instance, how people have dinner here. this is after 9 pm, so it's quite, i would say, unpractical in this sense. bed, i guess the, the are the opposing side of that is practicality in times of need miss must make way for pairing back. just so i would say it's a double edged sword. and in theory, i think it's, it's wonderful if you implemented people should rise early. be bunch of sleep early and use the daylight for, for, for, for the time that we'd need. but in boxed and context, for instance, in karachi, context it's, it's a cultural change and cultural change cannot happen and drastic move and why i see
6:24 pm
it's a double edged sword. because, for instance, in karachi, the market, the market i, as i said, they opened really late and especially the biggest market and got you for instance, cities like garages are the trees, the food restaurants and dinner. as i said, starts after 8 pm. if you, if you are someone to have dinner at the level as you automatically that it's after 9 pm. it's a cultural change, as you say, is nevada. and what about the country of streetlights and talking about cutting those by the use of streetlights by 50 percent of that? that's actually a safety issue, isn't it? it is, it is certainly a safety issue. again, we have to understand it's a structural problem that we are dealing and boxed on. and if you're talking about the economy at lodge, i think we just, we just heard from diane of she, christina, that one 3rd of the countries would face a sort of sort of a drastic, a decline in their growth in 2023 and boxes. no different than any other country,
6:25 pm
especially in this region. if we truly want to implement implement good chain that has to be from the structural changes of the economy. clearly there's a need to save money and the government says it could save the country hundreds of millions of dollars. by doing this there are different ways to save as well. for example, right now, majority of the lights are in condense and lights. if you just remove those kind of like to reduce those kind of lightning you the steady say that you will reduce 95000000000. you reduce $95000000000.00. all right, we'll leave it there. so kind of messenger warranty that. thank you so much. thank you. temperatures are warmer than usual across a number of european countries since the day at least 8 cities recorded peaks close to 20 degrees celsius in spain, temperatures were equivalent to the warm average in july. europe's warm weather comes in north america faces severe storms. heat waves have become more frequent and more intense. francois goodman is the lead author of the you enter into
6:26 pm

6:27 pm
which means that we need to do much more and much faster to replace these fossil fuels ways, renewable energy. but we also need to adapt to the impacts of climate change. and this is very of an, a blind spot of the fight against climate change. especially in europe, where most decision makers, you think that europe's will be, oh, to say immune to the impacts of climate change. they realize no over rebel europe is to search impacts and the pressing need for an addition. actually the usual patterns of seasons will change, which means that the reasons we were used to will change in the future and this will ever cost remedy consequences for agriculture 1st and foremost, but also for terrific activities. for example, there is a lack of snow in ski resorts in the outs right now, and this is obviously an issue for this economic activity. so i had here and out 0 hand in your badges. the philippine government orders $300.00 police officers to

6:34 pm
philippine drug foresman agency is not part of the philippi and national police. but during the last administration, led by philippine president would be good to turn the day to turn himself had said that it was to 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 a said that clearly there is an internal problem here. and so he said, call it a shortcut if you want. but the wheels of justice in the philippines just turned so slow. so this is a radical move. he said that if necessary, but human rights groups say that this undermines the philippines, criminal justice system. but meanwhile, the philippine president is on the 2nd davis visit to china. now. marcus julia as met members of the standing committee of the national people's congress. it was due
