don't leave home. that's the message of government authorities. in mexico's school, you can city the capital of sinaloa state. armed men have attacked the airport and steeled off the city after the arrest of a powerful cartel. leader of video guzman lopez, he is the son of imprisoned former sinaloa drug lord l. chapel flies have been cancelled. schools are shut in at least 3 people have been killed from mexico city, his manual, rob, hello, fiery roadblocks, and empty streets. in cooley, icon, the capital city of mexico's sinaloa state, says he and we've done those yet, but i can all, as they like, are you. in the early hours of thursday, mexican authorities asked residence to stay in their hopes as security forces carried out a special operation to capture the alleged drug,

trafficker obedient guzman, the son of walking guzman, better known as in chapel, a f, as in, namely that alexander frequency and when carrying out land recognizance in the northwest of cooley, a can military personnel arrested a video and it was the result of 6 months of reconnaissance in the area of influence of his criminal group. the arrest of an chapo son, set off a wave of violent confrontations on the streets of cool. yeah. kind between mexican security forces and the sinaloa cartel, the violence and siena law prompted the closure of schools, businesses and even the coolio on airport. the airline, aero mexico confirmed that one of its commercial flights had been hit by gunfire before take off. this amateur video shows the moment passengers ducked for cover. i, in 2019 mexican security forces detained olivia guzman, sparking a similar wave of violence that ultimately led to an order for mexican president

and this manuel lopez. oh, but i thought to release him. security experts, however, argue that despite the high profile nature of the arrest, the long term impact for the sinaloa cartel itself is negligible. it okay, so what was done with arrest of this court leader leaves the criminal a practicing duct. these goes beyond the cordial, because the corporal has a composition, companies, banks, the government, and the military, and all of that remains intact. the capture of a video, guzman in sinaloa, comes just days before a scheduled visit to mexico by u. s. president joe biden, and canadian prime minister just in trudeau for a summit of north american leaders where they planned to discuss among other topics multilateral security strategy. manuel did apollo al jazeera mexico city for the 1st time in a 164 years. the battle for the us house speaker has been through 11 rounds of

votes over 3 days. and yet we probably can contend to kevin mccarthy isn't any closer to securing enough balance and way over hard line republicans who are blocking his bed. another round of voting will take place on friday, january the 6, the 2nd anniversary of the attack on the capital. john hendrick reports for kevin mccarthy. day 3 was deja vu over 3 days. mccarthy has been nominated for speaker of the us house of representatives. time and time again. i rise to nominate kevin mccarthy. i rise to nominate kevin mccarthy, a right to nominate kevin mccarthy, speaker of the house. in time after time, the republican leader, his faced humiliating defeat, failing to win the majority of votes needed to get the job, a speaker has not been elected. yet most republican c willing to continue following their leader. for now, i think what's important that is we've forgotten is that democracy is messy. and i

don't think we've necessarily taken this too long yet. the honorable hakim jeffries of the state of new york has received 212 time and time again. democrats applauded as their leader hakim jeffries won. the most votes, though, also short of the needed majority. this is the dangerous moment for americans and for the world. one of the reasons why the congress needs to organize. there are public health vulnerabilities. it's one of the reasons why the congress needs to organize, and republicans need to get their act together. a block of 20 rebel republicans, mostly from the ultraconservative freedom caucus, plus one republican voting present have so far stopped mccarthy's years, long ambition to run the house. the stand off persists despite as series of last minute confessions. mccarthy made among them a promise to allow just one member of congress to call

a vote to remove the speaker that would make him perhaps the weakest speaker in american history. like the so called never kevin block, nominated a series of other republicans like taking advantage of the fact that the speaker doesn't have to be as sitting member one. congressman nominated donald trump for the office mccarthy currently occupies without the title. trump received one vote. i would like to know what the basis is to allow somebody to occupy the speaker's office who comes in 2nd place. 10th grade times. mccarthy, his now faced more ballots than any candidate in over a 160 years as the impasse approaches day for john henderson. al jazeera capitol hill. chinese authorities have urged people to limit the number of trips and gatherings ahead of the lunar new year. but they've stopped short of banning travel altogether

. hospitals and crematorium are under pressure from a surgeon covey, 19 infections and deaths. the world health organization has accused beijing of under reporting, his official figures and accusations. the authorities have denied its go live to our correspondent, katrina you in beijing. so katrina, china is about to relax. its border controls ahead of the lunar new year coming up . but how bad is the situation and, and how worse could it get? well, how about the situation actually is on the ground, is the question health authorities around the world are trying their best to answer? we're continuing to see these incredibly low numbers provided by the chinese government, and the w hotel has essentially rubbish this information and they've urged fading to provide more accurate darcy, regarding hospitalizations and deaths. we do know that some health experts around the world have put estimates at about 9000 deaths occurring here every day. now our team went to investigate. we went to

a crematorium in beijing's east in chow young district and we saw clouds and crowds of family is in a local that we spoke to said they've never seen the crematorium this busy. they were complaining about delays. we also went to a hospital one of the biggest in bay gene. again, the atmosphere that was very grim, we saw packed wards, staff under immense pressure. now, be june, has denied that they're failing to be transparent, denied that they're not providing accurate figures, but what we're seeing on the ground just doesn't reflect that official mine. and we have chinese new year coming up just a few weeks at the end of january. hundreds of millions of trips are expected to be taken. and we can only imagine that that will put added pressure on hospitals in the fee. the clinic of this painting hospital, the body of a p is taken away to a hallway filled with people infected by covert. 19 the beds and rooms are in short supply a sudden lifting of virus restrictions last month sparked

a nationwide surgeon cases. it's forced staff to transform this hospital lobby into a makeshift ward for extra patience. dozens, mostly elderly, are being monitored by a few doctors and nurses. medical staff are under immense pressure. many have fallen ill themselves. here, they've been instructed not to speak to media. we don't give in with the government says china's corporate lighting situation is under control and the worse of the outbreak is over. but here at one of the biggest hospitals, invading the wards or so overflowing with people. and many have had to wait hours to see a doctor long hughes, fill emergency rooms some who were turned away last week like this man. a trying a 2nd time. oh boy, better. they're more than 100 people before me. what you can do, just wait. my father's 88 years old,

is verge. holiday of the people. he's 8 to recover from this wires. i'm very glad he still alive. others aren't so fortunate. this crematorium and paintings east is inundated with families, waiting for the remains of their loved ones to be attended to. one man who didn't want to be filmed told us, a recent influx has led to delays. officially, china has one of the lowest curve at 19 death holes in the world, but the backlog here and at hospitals nationwide, tells a different story or new research was published at the end of last year, which suggests that the outbreak in the major chinese cities. so begging shanghai gong, jo, it may have already peaked, but according to this research, the next few weeks in the rural areas here in china, that will be the most vulnerable. and that's very worried because in the rural remote areas, the hospital system is even more less,

it is even less developed. we have fewer people vaccinated including the elderly. but according to this research, this is just the beginning in china. can expect multiple waves of infections throughout this year. katrina, thank you very much for that. katrina, you live there in beijing? south korean tech giant, samsung electronics has reported a 69 per cent drop in quarterly profits. the world's largest electronics and chip makers has proffered sunk to an 8 year lo, between october and december, economy fe, awakening global economy hammered memory, chip prices and curb demand for electronic devices. or let's speak to alicia garcia hero about this. she is the chief asia pacific economy said that texas and joins us live from spain. thank you so much for being with us. so it would appear that recession has already started for samsung. talk to us about the factors behind this decline in profit. is it just down to a weakening global economy or

a bit in did i mean we are seeing a much weaker demand for chips and this has been the case already since the summer, and they've got only worse by the end of the year. but the reality is that there's also structure factors behind this. if you look actually at the component of the root, the weakening results from sam. so you can see that it actually mentally, chips are by far the worst. that means that there's actually more suppliers of memory chips in, especially from china that are competing with some, some so, so that us why samsung results are particularly weak beyond a global demand weakening. where which of samsung businesses has been hardest hit memory chips, or in other words, the less developed or the less, you know, that the bigger nodes, the chips be easier at least to, of course,

to compete with some. so this is white. d s. m c's results in my view, which are coming on the 11th of getting might be set me better than p s and c. in other words, the more you move to lower notes and, and, and of course, less competitive chips in terms of others beat it with you, the, the better you will do. so some, some next to move up the ladder, the sooner the better to avoid competition from chinese chip makers. but alicia the same time, we're seeing samsung's shares rising. we saw that today this today despite the poor earnings results. how can, how is wise is happening. you think because sampling is indeed moving forward in the direction i just mentioned. so what some, some is doing is to basically increasing competition with via, since they were just managed to produce already a 3 nanometer chip and an ann tucker samson is heading there. so the out know for some, some is better than for any other chip maker other than the assembly. so if there

are 2 that will withstand competition from any chip makers on the high end of the nose. that's 1st t as in feet, 2nd thompson. so, ah, shareholders, i realized in any mr. sarielle, i seen that sampson has a chance to out, compete to wither with d. s. m. c. are the chip makers. i think the future might be bright. if they continue to move up the leather. i was going to ask you about the future and your expectations. in fact, for samsung's profits will they dive again and if yes, what will it mean for south korea's economy and, and the wider global economy? i think frankly it's some, some might do better the to, leanna lease are expecting, but still, today's the importer of tips globally i, we're seen and rapid law course he 3rd

ah, quickly, which seems to be the case. i think the demand for tips will increase with or sam. awesome. okay. thank you so much alicia. we're going to leave it there because we're, we're losing a bit of your connection. alicia garcia, hero joining us there from spain. thank you very much for your time. and the philippines is bombing record high inflation. president, ferdinand macos junior says it's out of control despite a decline in oil prices. barnaby lo spent a day with one manila family that struggling to make ends meet 2 years of pandemic locked downs. and now soaring prices boldly, baldessari says he used to be able to provide enough for his family before the pandemic. he made daily trips as a driver, but restrictions now limited to 3 or 4 journeys a week and he gave up another while with them warranted. i only make 6 or $7.00 a day. that's weirdly enough for food,

to go down? that just means, but i say one go up as fast as before, and that's going to be a problem. if families are not going to be earning enough, not only for the best and well president ferdinand marcus junior has been touting economic recovery. he's also acknowledged the high costs of basic goods are unemployment rate. this sir, ah, quite reasonable considering the situation. however, on the other side of that coin, there is still inflation that is running rampant and out of control hauled. he says he has no choice but to make do, but he hates seeing his children suffering. he hopes to whatever gains the economy makes in the near future, trickled down to ordinary filipinos. barnett below al jazeera bonilla, sit ahead on al jazeera will tell you why the president of ukraine is rejecting a ceasefire proposal from russia and aid workers in nigeria. so they're running out
