european union health ministers, pulfer joint responds to the reported surge of coping 19 cases in china. while beijing lifts it's travel restrictions. ah, i don't recall chris is out there a life and also coming up the us house of representatives fails to like to speak with a set to try games in the coming out the cranes, foreign minister says patriot missiles from the us will soon arrive and keep to help and it's fights against russia. we look at why it isn't feeling very much like winter across parts of the northern hemisphere. so we start with the reported surgeon cave in 1900 cases in china. european union

officials meeting in brussels to discuss a joint response. the german foreign minister says countries that should take this very, very seriously. some chinese regions are now seeing up to 1000000 new cases a day after beijing relax, it's strict curbs. last month, south korea is increasing airport screening, author, chinese citizen, when missing of the testing positive on arrival. the world health organization says countries are placing grace restrictions on china because beijing is not releasing information about the virus. and we had relatively little information in china formation being circulating in the country. i think the change in the market, the companies in that situation was understandable that they would implement risk based testing with respect to what bay ging says, restrictions on his travelers are discriminatory and has called on europe to stop

politicizing the pandemic. you'll push out, we also know that many people see that if they don't politicize the pen to make it very on, but responded responsibly with an attitude of putting lighter light. the chinese government, the carpet, 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 from what i just said, the south korea is increasing over 900 checks. it airports, it says around 25 percent of short term visitors from china tested positive on arrival on tuesday. it's kim reports from in june airport in south korea. flights 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 officials 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 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 coveted content, airports, and lifted up permission while entering o tow for your quarantine bus. it is regrettable that such

a disgraceful event occurred. officials war that such violations would lead to deportation and future entry bands 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. now the u. s. house of representatives will look to break a deadlock in the coming yard said has left it unable to swear in new members or engage in proceedings of any kind. politicians failed to appoint a speaker on tuesday after a group of hard line republicans refused to support the nomination. a fellow party member, kevin mccarthy, john 100 reports 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 in a group of dissatisfied right wing republicans in the house. freedom caucus had a list of demands, easy removal of the speaker ra prime committee assignments in fiscal conservatism. and to highlight them, they banded together to block would be house speaker kevin mccarthy might the day began as it has every 2 years for 200 years. there were no nation offering, i rise to day 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 tore 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. ready to insert himself, he's going to let the process play out. i and continue to do the,

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 at $133.00 ballots 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 victory and proof of their power in a clearly divided party. john henderson, l g 0. capitol hill. let's speak to our white house correspondent, kimberly how could join us from washington, dc companies. what a bit of a mess isn't. it was a previous, her hard was really hard because there is division within the

republican party, namely the fact that the shadow of the former president, donald trump still looms large over the party. it kevin mccarthy has connections to the former president. in fact, he's received a fresh endorsement from the former president on the his platform truth so, so the president writes vote for kevin or the former president writes vote for kevin closed the deal. so the fact that many within the republican party want to close that chapter want to move forward. and really it is a problem for kevin mccarthy. and so this is why they continue to have these repeated ballots and boats. a, he's short the number of boats that he needs to win the speaker and when the gal. so what he is hoping is that eventually he can wear down those detractors eventually they will either support him or will vote present in he will get the

votes that he needs to ultimately win the position. democrats occurring a little bit about this, but it's still going to get tricky for them soon enough, isn't it? yeah, it is. and well, they are sort of watching this with some amusement. they do know. 6 that this is a problem ultimately for them. in fact, the u. s. president joe biden has been watching this. he just left the white house for kentucky where he'll be talking about infrastructure today. but he did comment on the mask that is playing out on capitol hill. he called it embarrassing. he says that this is not a good look for the united states in terms of international relations. and he hopes that they can get their act together. oh, the reason he wants this to be better in terms of the drama this playing out is because the tone that's being sat really a in terms of the business that's conducted a will have an impact on his ability to conduct

a legislative agenda. because there are things that the president hopes to accomplish. he wants to combat climate change. he hopes to put in place an assault weapons ban and a really get rid of student debt. and all of those things cannot be accomplished for one. if there is no speaker, and also he knows that if republicans are going to be nasty amongst themselves, they're going to turn that eventually on the democrats. and that will take place in the form of investigations, not only against the president in the form of investigating hunter bite in the president's son, but also in the form of the withdrawal of ghana, stan, and also the origins of covered 19 and the president's handling of the pandemic, and that is not going to play out well for joe biden, for the remainder of his term for well, what is it? listen to kicked off again. so we'll come back with you. then. kimberly, thank the

the ukrainian foreign minister has announced us base patriot air defense missiles will soon arrive in the country. washington has pledged $1850000000.00 worth of military aid, which includes the patriot missiles at the us promise this help during the ukrainian president's visits. washington last month. russian president vladimir putin has cents a ship. meanwhile, armed with defensive missiles to the atlantic ocean freight and says, no country has anything close to the zack on hypersonic cruise mythos just it was, it was over here. and now i want to thank the specialist and the defense industry complex, who created and started mass protection of the unique weapon. please. as i said already, there is no equivalent in any country in the world. 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 interests. tell stratford his more now from keith. 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 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 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 drone and cruise missile strikes that i've 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 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 m. his classic 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 the mattress in the water. it is not

just a part of my life for it is my life. why should i say it was free, but now i need to find something else. the feasel examined 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 from call me on the books 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 challenge is like being in the army or on the battlefield, or he and hospital. i'm hauled him on, i can take a punch be put, it's called a q. 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 weren't what bilbry. this is former multiple world heavyweight title holder. and now men of give charlie crisco visiting the frontline town of bottled, wearing the colors all free, and this is current w b o w b a. and i b f heavyweight champion alexander lucy club. ah, they're a boxing jims like this one established 4 years ago, right across ukraine. ah, men who used to train here and now 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. if we're

a now or more 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 paul, which fell to the russians. and bach mood were fighting as heavy their books. so 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 exams continues his grueling daily exercise. he can only hope he gets the operation he needs so he can fight again. char stratford, al jazeera keith, going ahead here and i was 0. why focused on the decision to turn off the lights and. 1 miles and marketplace, this is shopkeepers worried and security and economic growth on the minds of voters . is nigeria it gives up for general election

ah called snap warnings remain in place for the northwest of india hither. here's the details. so that includes for punjab state, not as cold as it has been as of late waken up to 5 degrees on thursday in red star and for the rest of india, just some showers for the state of town will now do some of that is leaking into entrepreneur dash, but nothing major here. the wind had picked up in southern pakistan that's flushing out the fog and smug their warm pool of air over of august on so he had 16 degrees this fall above average and likely to see some flooding toward the south west of iran on thursday. with that rain in the forecast, but unusual rain falling this far south in vietnam at this time of the year. so for example, who mon 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 picture, but temperatures are above average. here i, for example, is 16 degrees. the high inc wailin on thursday. still some see effects, 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. that's up the see later. ah, of course, the world, young activists and organizers are on the move. you know, i heard generation change meets the new york as using alternative approaches to fight institutional racism, police brutality. this is indeed

a nation wide problem. network wires, a systemic solution generation change on alger zoo. lou. oh that again watching out 0 mind about top stories that they saw and european union officials are meeting brussels to discuss the joint response to a surgeon cove. if 19 cases in china, beijing sets restrictions on its travelers are discriminatory and is pooled on europe stop politicizing the pandemic. in the coming years, politicians will continue voting for a new speaker of the house of representatives. republican kevin mccarthy failed to win in the 3 votes who were held on tuesday when members of his policy refused to

vote for the credit in foreign ministers announced that patriot defense missiles will soon arrive in the country. us pledge needed $2000000000.00 worth of been, creates the ukraine last month. that package includes the patriot missiles at least $35.00 people have been killed and dozens more injured in to car bombings and central somalia. that's according to the man of the house in the herana region where the attacks took place. a police station was targeted 1st, followed by the house of a somali government official, should bob has claimed responsibility. in nigeria, politicians have begun holding campaign rallies ahead of a general election in february. niger is worsening. security issue is topping the agenda on gangs continuing to attack villages across a northwestern part of the country. our address is following that riley encounter almost every leading candidate here and it's talking about the issues that bothers

most nigerians not to security, not the cost of living, but above all, a lot of people feel that you've security is checked. that will be than a bond 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 supposed to deal with such problems. but again, these problems continue from the ne, the book lot, i mean, just now into it's 14 and then the vendor tree and the kidnappings from the north was central. part of that i get told 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 i guess the by separative movement, you want an independent group. yeah. for movement is burning government offices as targeting. as 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. tons, it is president, is mr. the controversial ban on political rallies, president semi, i slew her son, announced the decision 6 years after her predisposed john michael fully impose and measure the ban granted. elected politicians the power to prohibit rallies or protest in that constituencies. nick, linda mc donnell. yes. yama. yes. yes. it is our responsibility is the government, secure surgical gatherings. you need to notify us as required by the law security services. we'll assess the situation and give the go ahead depending on the situation. but for now, at this stage, permission will be given because it is our responsibility to protect your right hand to hold your rally safely. why do the pakistan government has ordered shopping mouths and markets to close early as part of a plan to conserve energy. it says the shorter hours could save the country,

hundreds of millions of dollars, store owners, what the decision reversed saying it will be harmful to their business. like a sun is in economic crisis, struggle to find foreign currency to pay for energy. when pike's done relies heavily on imported oil to generate power spending $3000000000.00 a year and needs more than $30000000000.02 pay for his debt repayments and energy imports through until june. but islam abide is having difficulty financing. that debt says the cost of last year's floods make it difficult to comply with the terms and posed by the international monetary fund for $6000000000.00 bailout program. once again, to begin job is a development economist. and he says, these measures will fail to address pakistan's problems. it's unfair to go specially in a, in a, in a country like buck spinal cities, grouchy. i'm currently based out of garage, which is the metropolitan, which is also the bread and butter off the back basket. of bikes on and
