9:00 pm
is the woke agenda on the decline in america, how much his social media companies know about you, and how easy is it to manipulate the quizzical look us politics, the bottom line? the latest news as it breaks. this particular sub station has been here and 3 separate attacks. why fix russian we saw with detailed coverage. they had hope that the u. s. would relax order a pandemic restrictions this week, which with likely had shattered their off of getting in from around the world over 3000000 people to talk to the 381 a fight with. i'm the national people ah, knowledge is here. with oh,
9:01 pm
this is al jazeera ah, i'm to clog this is a news are live from to hall coming up in the next 60 minutes. the us house of representatives, thoughts, a 4th round, a voting up to fading, to like to speak on tuesday. european union health ministers, me to discuss the surge of cobra 19 cases in china. well, beijing lifts its travel restrictions, ukraine's for our minister says patriot missiles from the us will soon arrive in keith to help in its fight against russia. and security and economic growth are on the minds of voters as nigeria gives up for a general admin sports. it's help them kick off against crystal palace and a couple of hours that sort of 4 primarily games. it's taking place later that legal messy gets it got on us. i miss carson massey may samples walk up
9:02 pm
with to yes. let's dalton in united states where politicians are again voting to elect a new speaker of the house of representatives. republican kevin mccarthy failed to win the 3 votes that were held yesterday on tuesday when conservative members of his part to refuse to support him. it is the 1st time its entry, the house has failed to elected you. speaker on the 1st ballot. so let's get the very latest from john henderson, who's a monitoring events there at capitol hill. what's happening, john? well, mccarthy is invalid number 4 and he appears to be failing once again to be elected speaker of the house that group of rebel republicans who were voting against him appear to be sticking to it. the vote isn't complete, but it looks like they haven't lost any members. they tried
9:03 pm
a new tactic today. nominating byron donald's, who's an african american member of congress or republican. donald's was the person who increase the number of rebels yesterday when they had 19 voting against mccarthy. 1900 republicans on the 1st to balance on the, on the 3rd, donald's joined that group. well today they nominated him himself. he voted for himself as well. so that group isn't getting smaller no mccarthy's tactic, seems to be to try to pick off as many of those members as he can, offering inducements. they wanted more democratic rules in the house, small the democratic, allowing members to do things like remove the speaker more easily and make amendments without the leadership determining all of that. but really it's becoming more and more apparent apparent that what they want is to make a statement. and that statement is to block mccarthy's candidacy for the speakership. they want a scalp,
9:04 pm
and so far they appear to be holding together without the help of democrats. mccarthy's forces can't even a jordan, this process, so they are being subjected to one vote after another because they would need a majority of the chamber, $218.00 boat journey. so they could go out and negotiate what they're having to do with, to talk to people offline in the cloakroom right next to where those both are taking place and so far. and they don't seem to be making any progress, right. as you say mccarthy's of all these inducements and concessions and so forth . so what else can i do to try and get these these road republicans to change their minds back in? well, nothing he's tried so far has worked at that group is holding strong together. and it is possible that he could get some of them plum committee assignments, promises. there may be leadership positions or something like that or something for their state in an upcoming bill. but there are 20 of those people and it gets 16 of
9:05 pm
them like that. well, that's pretty difficult to do. you really need to crack down on them. offer some disincentive saying if you don't go along with us will we're going to make sure that you don't have any committee assignments, that sort of thing. but this group appears to be holding together. they don't really seem to care about all those those goodies that they could get from the speakership of mccarthy as elected. what they seemed to want is his scalp and they appear so far to be succeeded. are john more from you as things progress or otherwise the capitol hill in washington dc. thanks. look ah, another european union officials are made in brussels to discuss the reported surgeon cove at 19 cases in china. the german foreign minister says countries should take this very, very seriously some chinese regions and nazi up to a 1000000 new cases
9:06 pm
a day off to paging relaxes strict curbs. last month and south korea is increasing airport screening after a chinese citizen went missing after testing positive on arrival, japan also tightening border control measures. beijing says the restrictions on its travelers are discriminatory and has cold on europe to stop politicizing. the pandemic will make it true either you'll push our group. we also know that many people see that if they don't politicize the pen to make it very on please. but responded responsibly with an attitude of putting lighter light. the chinese government, the covered 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 and solidarity and worked to give to prevail over covered 19 as soon as possible. or let's get more on the meat here. if you health officials with dominant cade, his life is in berlin, so any chance of anything definitive coming from this?
9:07 pm
the central question for the e u. health officials, who in brussels have been confronting this issue is what is the best way to get a pan european sort of raft of measures that. so the thing we know that we have on the one hand countries such as italy who have already impose some form of security measure as it were on people arriving in italy from flights from china. the question for every one congregating in brussels around that table is what advice should they follow? because the advice from the european cdc, the center for disease control is that no further measures are necessary. that they believe that the variance that are in china of cobra, that is, and the variance that are in the you are substantially similar. and that therefore, imposing measures such as the ones imposed by a silly aren't necessarily the way to go. that on the other hand,
9:08 pm
you have this sense that several countries in the you have going back to the beginning of the pandemic when they became overflowing with patients in their view . and so that's what, what informs this whole perspective. the other thing to bear in mind is that german foreign minister leader burbock and other ministers from other countries have talked about the need for a pan european solution. so quite hire those officials find a way of agreeing to take on board. the italian perspective was taking on board also the c d. c perspective is going to be quite difficult to why is it so hard to reach japan, european decision on this, or why? why did differently you countries of different approaches will because some countries are aware of what happened in their hospitals at the start of the pandemic. from their perspective, they will remember the sorts of scenes that he was might recall from places such as
9:09 pm
battle gama, initially, when hospitals were filled with patience with covert, of course, that was at a time when there was no vaccine and testing was if it was not as prolific as it is now, and so those images certainly informed the opinions of many ministers. then you also have from another perspective. so the source of thought process, which is we do have the vaccines. we know how to mitigate the dangers posed by cove . it to, we really want to be imposing the sorts of measures that some have been calling for . and so that's why you have this, if not necessarily difference of opinion, certainly a difference of approach. and that is what is playing itself out in brussels or a direct thanks. that dominant came there in berlin. well, as i mentioned earlier, south korea is increasing cove 19 shape checks at airports. it says around 25 percent of short term visitors from china tested positive on arrival on choose day
9:10 pm
units. kim reports now from engine airport in south career 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
9:11 pm
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 content, airports, and lifted up permission while entering hotel fire 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. but more still ahead on the news are included by pakistan's decision to turn off the lights and mouths. market places has shopkeepers worried thailand's cannabis industry, reaching you highs a few months ago, but some sellers say it's too much we could saying we got support coming up to of
9:12 pm
course we'll tell you about the 2 prestigious. no joke of it just said to miss for the 2nd year running the french president manuel macaroni told the crowd in president flooded miss lensky. that france will be delivering light combat vehicles to keep this comes as ukraine's foreign minister announced us base to patriot defense. miss elves will soon arrive in the country. washington has pledged $1850000000.00, but military aid, which includes patriot missiles. us promised this help during the ukrainian president's visit to washington last month. child stratford has more all of this from keith. this patriot missile system has been highly controversial. of course, the big, the big question over supplying you crime was whether in fact it was going to be seen potentially as a non defensive weapon,
9:13 pm
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, the chemicals, the drone and cruise missiles strikes that have been targeting various locations and critical infrastructure by the russians across ukraine. in recent months, this picture massage 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 chemicals. he drives and cruise missiles that come into the skies and
9:14 pm
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. 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 it 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 examined the computing in
9:15 pm
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 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 hardened 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 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 they're brave. this is former multiple world
9:16 pm
heavyweight title holder, and now men of give italy clinico visiting the frontline town of bottles, 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 they are fighting on the front lines. some of these boxes may eventually do the same. all it could go has been training here since he was 12. he joined the territorial defense unit when russia invaded last year. if we're in now or more of the war makes it more difficult to train. but when there's electricity and water available, training feels like a celebration. we're lucky at this gym compared to places like mary upon which fell
9:17 pm
to the russians. and bach mood were 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 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 cave, ellis just returned to our top story and kevin mccarthy seeking to become speaker. our capital held house representatives. and as we reported earlier, he looked on track to lose the 4th vote, a to become speaker, and indeed we now understand that he has in voting is expected to go to a 5th round. and so it goes on. so kevin mccarthy has lost a 4th round voting come speaker and it is expected. close is expected to go to
9:18 pm
a 5th round in nigeria. politicians have begun holding campaign rallies ahead of a general election in february. nigeria is western security situation is top of the gender militants and arm gangs continued to attack villages across the northwestern part of the country. i would address as at a rally in kenya. almost every leading candidate here is 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 security is checked. that will be than a bon priority for not 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 certain forms. but again, these problems continue from the ne, both lot, i mean, just now into it's 14 and then the vendor tree and the kidnappings from the north
9:19 pm
was central passes. i get the southern part 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, once an independent globe, the movement is burning government offices and targeting needs to be as to what 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 turns it is, president has lifted a controversial band on political rallies, president samir sulu who her son announced a decision 6 years after her previous as john mac and fully imposed to measure the band grunted elected politicians the power to prohibit rallies or protests in their constituencies. katrin saw his more now from nairobi. the president has been under
9:20 pm
a lot of pressure from while he will be dead when it comes to form a political and electro reforms. and this meeting that was held between the president and political, he does basically was to find a way forward when it comes to those issues. and this and the president has said the ban on political gatherings that had been put in place back in 2016. the president, i said that she wants to do things differently a little while he does that, we've been talking to say that they want to see change and they want to put more pressure on the president to do things differently. milligan, my chan, i sat down with my party members, and we agreed to align with our political party to start the constitutional amendment proclamation. it can be seen by nea
9:21 pm
constitution, belong to me and not political cartoons. eelie the political party to be able to walk mandatory for students to tour it suddenly both 60 and that was not an option yesterday the president has made this possible again and the electorate cannot be sure. all right, let me get, let me jump. why not w some of the opposition leaders? who are that big help me thing? hold on friends in the rest of them where they say that they're happy with what the president has said. and they say that this is a good change in the direction that they wanted. but then i saw a provision leaders who were not in that conference. i said that they want to see more changes, particularly not just political reform, but also they want the changes to the constitution as wow,
9:22 pm

9:24 pm
he used to sense terrorists across the border, but recently we caught a lot of ammunition. so that trying to ruin the harmony of the region for me. but our party will finish terrorism here that i'm making political analysts say the region is seen, arise and attacks, which shouldn't be politicize. so, and badge and when crush me, looks unsafe. so let's not look at it through the prism of a communal politics all to the community angle, but unfortunately that is how the things are being looked in india as, as for the last so many years in yes, counter terrorism agency is investigating the attacks, the government has deployed more troops in a jewelry about a 155 kilometers south of the largest city of sheena got to prevent further attacks . as victims, families pick up the pieces they hope they'll get justice passed the middle algebra parks, dont government has ordered shopping mouths, markets to close, early as part of a plan to conserve energy. it says the shorter hours could save the country,

9:26 pm
if you, if you look at, cut out you, for instance, the timing, the real market stuff, the open at 8 was if you look at, for instance, how people have dinner here, this is often 9 pm and tuesday. i think it's wonderful if you implemented people should regularly but sleep early and use the daylight for, for, for, for the time that we need. but in the context, for instance, in karachi context is a cultural changed, and cultural change cannot happen in a drastic movie. again, we have to understand the structural problems that we are dealing and bucks on. and if you're talking about the economy lodge, i think we just, we just heard from diameter, she crystelina that one 3rd of the countries would face a sort of sort of a drastic decline in their growth in 2023 and boxes. no different than any of the country, and especially in this region, if we truly want to implement implement good chain that has to be from the
9:27 pm
structural changes of the economy. aaron, l 0, we look at the move by the us health regulator that will improve access to abortion pills. hind in your badges, the philippine government orders 300 police officers to resign to crack down the drug trade. the an incredible finish for the 1st 1240 jumping to 2023. your demo is for a hey, there are still tracking that re moving across the middle east for now finding it into the south, south west of iran, where there is likely to be some flooding on thursday. it's kicking all the way
9:28 pm
back to the red sea. so let's go in for a closer look. it means some periods of heavy rain, for example, through buffer rain. we'll see some shower activity over the next few days in a while, but i think things will begin to dry off for western saudi arabia. i think just an overcast date in jetta on thursday with a high of 23 degrees. those winds have picked up through southern pakistan that's flushing out the fog and smog there. get a warm pool of air. and as we look toward ask about insert minutes found, but really through the rest of the stands, a temperatures are well above average. here, as we hit toward turkey and i think it's an overcast start to the day, and it's stumble that as we get throughout the day. i should see some more peaks of sun dare windsor beginning to back off the coast of egypt. so now his breezy as it has been, and we've got a slug of some pretty intense rain for the northwest of angola on thursday. the time that rain is really picking up for the eastern side of south africa. so for the eastern cape providence, clothing town. no longer in limpopo,
9:29 pm
there's the risk of seeing some flooding here over the next few days. that's rather up to see later ah, with 4 scientists, the evidence is irrefutable. but american climate change denial stubbornly mistrust of the fact. despite soaring temperatures, raging wild fires and shrinking water reserves, the world's largest economy, it's still split along ideological lines. so can it ever reach consensus to avoid catastrophe? climate wars ought to, on a just 0 with
9:30 pm
with a watching or multiple talk story? yes, republican kevin mccarthy as last the vote comes speaker, the house of representatives for a 4th time conservative members of his policy of again voted against him after refusing to back the coffee in 3 boats. on tuesday, european union official to meet him, brussels, to discuss the joint response to a surge of cobra. 1900 cases in china. beijing says restrictions on travelers
9:31 pm
discriminatory and it's called on your to stop. and this is the panoramic crate in foreign ministers enough. the patriot defense massage will soon arrive in the country. us pledge nearly $2000000.00 but military ukraine last month about packaging clues. patriot missiles or russian president vladimir putin had sent a ship armed with defensive missiles to the atlantic. ocean preaching says no country has anything close to the zircon hypersonic cruise missiles on board. just as though it's official here and now i want to thank the specialist in the defense industry complex, who created and started mass protection of the weapon police. as i 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 interest. now, there are certain pharmacies in the united states will be allowed to sell abortion
9:32 pm
pills for the 1st time. the change will potentially expand access to termination that was taken away last year by the supreme court. it is now illegal to have an abortion. in 13 states, the pills will be available in states where the procedure is allowed. well, the pill has various uses, including miscarriage management. it induces a termination up to 10 weeks into pregnancy in a process known as medical abortion. a woman will need to bring a prescription to a pharmacy before she's able to buy it. restrictions on ordering the pills through the mail also being lifted. women can see adult to remotely and get a prescription that allows pills to be posted to them in several countries, including india and, and mexico. for example, women can buy the same type of medication without a prescription. so let's explore this further. we can speak to judy k, who's a human rights law if a gender equality a joins us now from new york. judy k. welcome to the program. at 1st up, given the roe v wade decision and subsequent state bands. will this make
9:33 pm
a difference on access to abortion? yeah, i think the starting point on this has to be that this is excellent news and you know, we've had a lot of really bad news in 2022 regarding the access your worship rides. and so i think it's really important that just pause and acknowledge that we're starting off that new year with a good bit of news and a real step forward in creating access to medication abortion for many, many more people. so if this is only available, just to clarify, if this is unavailable in states where abortion is allowed anyway, in what way does it make a difference in terms of access? well, right now it's only available in states. so as you noted, there are 13 states for it won't be available, and medication, abortion has been in the cross hairs of the anti abortion movement for 20 years. there been battles over f d,
9:34 pm
a regulations that have been completely politicized. these medications, the 2 pill regimen, are very safe and effective when used up to 11 weeks and pregnancy, and possibly later the world health organization has said that it is a safe and accessible way to have an abortion, whether it's self induced or under the direction of a medical provider, so what this does is list some of the sort of garbage has been piled on as far as accessing those medications for a long time. so for instance, for women and people seeking abortions and states for abortion is legal. they won't have to necessarily go to their health care providers office or wait for the medications to arrive by mail. they'll have the option to go to participating pharmacy. it's not great. there are still restrictions that shouldn't be there. and on the last were a little skeptical as to whether some of the big chain pharmacies will respond to
9:35 pm
a prioritizing health care or whether they're going to be kind of hiding under the covers and refusing to stock medication abortion, or whatever it was that the big pharmacies are still looking at this is to decide what to do or they well, i haven't seen anybody come out today and celebrate this news and say, you know, we're 1st and foremost about health care. we're going to be the ones providing is i think we're gonna have to hold some feet to the fire and really let them know that they can't play politics with their customers. hell, what kicked back has been from those states. and from those people who, who support the ban on abortion, you know, they've been having celebration since the dobs decision came down last june. and i think a lot of the anti abortion states have really been overstating their power and have been you know, going to really ban all of abortion. not having exceptions to protect women's health or life or well being not having protections for younger people or for
9:36 pm
people with severe life threatening and health threatening conditions. so this is not good news for them, but more importantly, we know that the more access there is to medication abortion, the safer and healthier it will be for more women and pregnant people. because right now what we're seeing is a real increase in the use of medication abortion both um, in states where there are no restrictions, but also in states that have band or criminalized abortion. you know, when you ban abortion, it doesn't go away, it goes underground and a lot of groups in that area of the country kind of from west virginia all the way through texas. we've seen communities coming together, getting the health care that people need access to. and this will make it easier, it just makes the pills more available as they should be on the other pieces of it . go ahead. so as i did so i'm very final question was just one at a time a to just what for the additional steps of briefly, if you would, you think need to be taken. i would say the number one thing right now is to allow
9:37 pm
telehealth, access, interstate, so that doctors and medical providers, clinicians in states for abortion is legal, are willing to treat people who are in states where abortion is not as readily available. and then they can mail the medications. it's supervised by a physician. we're looking to pass shield laws like the one path to massachusetts already that would allow doctors from blue state, so to speak, to provide tell a health services to people who are not able to travel or don't want to travel to make sure that they can get medication abortion to it's not a question of luck or race, or location, or zip code or resources or race. it's really about a human right to access this medication, right. just a tiny health access, you mean access getting prescription by phone, basically by phone, by zoom by internet. however you can do tele house. we've seen a real uptick and tele health in the past couple years. and medication,
9:38 pm
abortion is just really well designed for that kind of health care. all right, june. okay, great. have you effective thanks very much indeed for joining us here. are julie k . thank you. at least $300.00 police offices in the philippines have been asked to resign in an attempt to crack down on corruption at the interior minister requested all generals and colonel submit their resignation to clear the ranks of ties to illegal drugs. but we low, has this update now from min, the curious secretary of the philippines, ben, her abala said that this is all part of the internal tracing 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 generals were doleful as ravine as a re 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
9:39 pm
where arrested and caught with several kilograms of nathan better mean. now the philippine drug forestman agency is not part of the philippi and national police, but during the last administration, led by philippine president would return 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 a 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 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. me while the philippine president is on the 2nd day of the 5th china for men. marcos junior has met members of the extended committee of the national people's congress. it was 2 to meet chinese leaders shooting,
