china has ended it strict 0 corvette border controls. absolutely. and throw passion about it. and because i've been stuck here for like the years, the urge is so strong. a real on travel abroad, like i lived to thailand, summer, easy from sunday. those returning to china no longer have to undergo quarantine. the change has parked a surgeon, travel pertains japan, south korea, and the united states are among popular destinations. thailand has tops the list staff in this bangkok hotel and looking forward to welcoming back chinese tourists . $5000000.00 are expected this year. icon hill, c and d. home allah. hark off chinese visitors, a vital for the tourism industry throughout the country. they not only spend money in bangkok, but they usually travel nationwide. china's borders with hong kong have also been reopened. these passages are among the 1st to cross without needing to isolate at

a phase of uncertainty when i'm trying to territory right now. i don't think we've seen as large country a country with as larger population workforce. that as important. the global economy open up so quickly without the sort of adequate hospital facilities, medical facilities, and others in place. we've seen australia, new zealand, think we'll open up an after a period of closure. but they were, they took the time to really prepare. and the chinese case that doesn't seem to be quite where they are at. so it's a major social experiment to put it that way. it's a big bet that the chinese authorities take not just with their own company, but with the world economy. there is a charge that if the chinese workforce gets really sick and it slows down there on the growth, it could potentially lead to supply chain problems that we've seen before. it could potentially lead to slow down in the world. we just as we're trying to get over the

hump, with inflation and so on and so forth. so certainly this opening up and the strategy creates a lot of uncertainties for the world economy. the official line that's been put out by, by the, by saying why is that the current strains are more infectious, but they're less severe. they lead to less hospitalizations unless death. so it is more, it's easier to sort of account and manage a couple of manage. but whether that is actually the case, i mean, we've heard all these report, an official, of course, coming out from beijing and other cities that hospitals are struggling more full crematory awful. so that might suggest that the issues are far more serious than the authorities are letting on. thailand is one of the most popular destination for chinese taurus, the government has introduced new rules. old international travelers will have to show proof of vaccination. tony chang is in bangkok, aaron, bank of chains, how they're hanging land since to celebrate the lunar new year in 2 weeks time. if

the truth be tell they're a bit more concerned about a date, a little closer. monday, the 9th of january and chinese tourists able to return to thailand after restrictions were lifted when they arrived. they'll only have to show a vaccine certificate with few of the restrictions that have been placed on them going to other places. as all tourists will now have to do, the thai government knows they are vitally important, but the revival of that terrorist industry which makes up 25 percent of the time economy. they're hoping that their goal of 20000000 arrivals this year will impart be boosted by these new arrivals from china. that there is some trepidation. those who aren't directly involved in the tourist industry. are concerned with the spread of coven infections within china. a new barrier could emerge. remember the coven 19 was 1st seen outside china? here in thailand that said their importance to the economy and the post coven. 19 revival, is faithful. and many people will be hoping that brings

a prosperous and happy new year. meanwhile, in the chinese city of cha ching book, is it a factory that makes covey 19 indigent kits been protesting? they accused the former pseudocode company is g, b, o, of not paying salaries and firing several employees. violence erupted when the police intervene to disperse demonstrators. 20 more still ahead on the news hour, including ha, celebrations or soldiers arrived home in the ivory coast. tell you how they avoided serving along jail term in mildly. californians are weathering a wave of devastating storms. battering the coast line. kernan sport, another high profile by a pulls out of the strain open. and these here with that st. lori lou,

now thousands of israelis have protested in tel aviv against the new right tween government and its plans to overhaul the judicial system. they say the change is threatened democracy and freedoms, left wing organizations and palestinian israeli members of the parliament lead the demonstrations. the protests are the 1st against prime minister benjamin netanyahu . new coalition government, the most right wing in israel's history. we came here to protest against the group cation of the israel, the democracy. we see a process where the rights of the people will be over time consumed by the theocratic government that we want to avoid. that we're exempt, proving the elections that took place a few weeks ago. but then what happens with the new government is that they really create a major and significant danger. do israel's existence of democracy,

the proposals to change israel's judicial system have angered protest. this plan will allow politicians to pass laws. the high court struck down the coalition wants to empower the 120 seat kinessa to override supreme court decisions with a simple majority of 61 votes. to also propose is politicians play a greater role in the appointment of supreme court. judges and ministers get to appoint their own legal advices. instead of going through independent professionals, the weakening of the supreme court will have consequences for palestinians in the occupied west bank. it's the only institution they go to to defend their rights. let's talk now to dahlia. shine, lynn, she is a political analyst at the century. foundation joins us live from tel aviv good to have you with us. so the defenders of this government say, this is simply

a re balancing act in terms of the powers between the courts and the connected. is it they're calling it a rebalancing act, but if they want to return to some earlier stage before the court was increasingly active over the years and exercising judicial review, frankly, there was very little by way of a check or balance on executive power. and this is something important to understand israeli israeli executive the coalition and the government essentially control the legislature because they have a majority of parliamentary feet. so there's not a clear separation of those 2 branches of government. and the court has always played a role of upholding the kinds of basic human and civil rights that are not written in any formal constitutional document. with the exception of 2 laws that were past only 992, the court has taken upon itself from the early stages to play that role. and of

course, increasingly doing so after and had the legislative basis in the 1990. to review the legislation or government actions that threaten the rights of individuals or minorities. and i think it's a mistake also to look at the supreme court as only an institution that defend palestinians. because of course, 1st of all, it doesn't always defend palestinians, but secondly, any israeli citizens need that balance of power where there is some sort of restraint on the executive on the legislature. so it's not a re balancing of powers, it's frankly, stripping any checks and balances on the government, which is supposed to represent a majority, which means no more minority, right. but in general, it's not just a matter of majority minority, it's the principle of civil and human rights and balance of a balance of powers and dispersal of powers. in a democracy, we have to all right, from the point on that point. if these proposals go through, which i assume they,

they will. does that mean really? there is no check. there is no power above this current government as long as they hold the support of the connected right? structurally there is very little by way of or check or balance the way the system is formally defined and israeli law. there is only one chamber of parliament, the coalition control, the legislature and the executive controls, the coalition and the head of the party that leads the coalition, which is one person now who controls that. so there are no structural checks really . i think the only thing that the defenders of these reformers will say is that the people of israel are the check and balance because they go to election. but as we know, there is no such thing as an electoral democracy in a sense of a strict down democracy based only on elections every few years. democracy is participatory, it is ongoing, it is multiple layers of power and text balances with that gone,

especially because as i mentioned before, there are so few of those structurally defined in israeli law. i think that we won't see a transformation overnight because there is something to be said for a long term culture and of democratic practice when it comes to these checks and balances. but we will see the frankly the complete erosion and cracking of the foundations that could allow these kinds of normal checks and balances. that would protect citizens from over overly power and overly powerful state. all right, now, is this likely to escalate into a campaign of civil disobedience if you listen to some of the calls being made? well, there have been protests and i'll make one correction last night was not the 1st protest against the government. the very 1st protest against the government was the very moment it was sworn in there was protest in the front of the wall that was happening. it wasn't quite as big as this one. but it seems that when the government released plan, when the justice minister published his plans for,

you know, crushing the judiciary, i think it's a mistake to call it a reform. that's when we saw the bigger and much more angry crowd if you know kind of flooding the center of, of these. i would, it seems like if these plans move forward every time one of the bills is proposed or debated or voted upon, there will be protest. will it come to civil disobedience? that's a different question because the protest is not civil disobedience. the question is whether there are figures who will actively try to disobey these was and i think that's billing gets further. it's hard to predict what the israeli public will do. now i think that there is a big portion of the very public that is against this and a big portion of them who are active. but those again are 2 different things. one thing to say, a survey shows that the majority of really prefer to retain judicial review, which is the case. but only a portion of them will act as the, let's say, come out and demonstrate. and i would say only a smaller portion of those would be expected to exercise anything like civil

disobedience. and so it's very hard to predict, but i don't expect some sort of civil revolution. i do think there will be consistent showing the demonstration how big they will be, whether they will be sufficiently, you know, somehow energetic to it, you know, took to convince the government when it's gone to that it might have gone too far. i think it's still an open question. all right, good to get your thoughts on that. thanks so much. thank you. oh, voting is underway and beneath parliamentary elections, which the opposition parties on the ballot for the 1st time since 2015. they were banned from the previous folks in 2019 which led to violent protests against president patrice. talon, math address joins us now from katana. in been in. last time we spoke, i made the turn out, was not looking very intense. how's it looking now?

well, it has picked up slightly in the past one in the past hour, but again, it's nowhere near the numbers we saw when the president was elected a few years ago. and he's also below the expectation of civil society. organizations will monitor the elections and are reporting low to turn out across the country. they won't. they also said they were investigating cases of i legit cases of fraud unconfirmed at the moment, but they will give an update probably in the next 2 hours and a half or so when the votes have when voting has close. so basically today the elections were held throughout the country with little interference or little cases or reported cases of violence anyway, and benita public, but the vote to time or just the warning aspect of this. and actually, i mean all right, we'll leave you then. thanks. so much i did, reese. now the senegalese government has announced 3 days of national mourning for

the victims of a bus crash. falsely people were killed when 2 buses collided in the town of car freeney. many passengers were injured. the government also announced a special council. we'll meet on monday to review road safety. 46 soldiers from ivory coast accused by molly of being mercenaries of returned home. the group was pardoned on friday, 6 months after being detained. the soldiers arrest sparks, a diplomatic dispute between the 2 countries. since monahan reports ha, celebrations in abidjan. after months of uncertainty. these ivory co soldiers were facing decades in a prison. and molly, but a pardon from the country's military government, allowed them to return home. the policeman was busy. i worry coast molly. it's not the same thing, was very hard. i'm home now and i'm very happy. oh no. he was arrested only 30 bits a day were relieved. we cried. we fasted, we prayed, and finally,

god has answered us. i mean, joy roads fail me, might not be at present. allison water was there to greet them. the fate of the soldiers was at the center of months of diplomatic wrangling. the incident created a rift between the 2 countries. but water may clear he wants to put it behind them go there. i would like you to know that ivory coast will continue to offer support all brother, countries, african and others who need to evolve towards peace. as have often said, without peace, there is nothing important for a nation. peace is essential and you went to bring peace to molly, and i strongly hope that this brother country will find peace once more. the troops were arrested in july. they were accused of being mercenaries and put on trial ivory coast says they were part of the united nations peacekeeping mission. but the un says they were for a company contracted by the peacekeepers, rather than directly as part of the mission. un forces have been deployed to the

region for years as armed groups, thrones, debility, but molly has been increasingly isolated since colonel, a semi goiter seized power in military coup. 2 years ago. the military government of miss deadlines for organizing elections and block you in forces for investigating lead violations of human rights. but the return of the soldiers was framed as a gesture of good will to the region a possible find that molly may be ready to re engage with the international community. mental model him al jazeera to nigeria. now a gunman have abducted several passengers at a train station. it's happened in those states in the south on saturday. police say several people were hurt after the kidnappers fire shot sporadically into the air. the incident is the latest in the series of targeting train stations in the west african nation and with struggling economy and high on employment. most people in zimbabwe i believe, to be working in formally well,

now some young graduates who can't find jobs returning to farming. heard about us or reports from go to monsey district unicorn. giacomo has a master's degree in international trade law, but finding a job in zimbabwe is difficult. so in 2018, he became a farmer. and now employees, several people. the 30 year old is one part of a new generation of educated youths who work the land to create livelihoods. but navigating the country's farming industry isn't easy. the biggest challenge we've got is an issue for finance or capital and do for even young people to be able to walk into a bank. you've got no collateral. you've got probably no history or you've got no studied lane to tell how valuable your business or your idea is. and also even the excess to, to lent the state some banks and the private sector help finance farmers. but many

say they can't get the help they need to get started. this country has a lot of fertile land, but since landra foreign, when commercial farms were seized from white and given to blacks and barbarians, some of that land is not being fully utilized. more young people here say they can help increase productivity in another part of the country, valerie mozilla and her husband are preparing to export watermelons to the middle east, zimbabwe. strategically located because most of this product we are getting it from australia in brazil. zimbabwe is just $21.00 to $28.00 days to dubai. whereas when you look at brazil, they are looking at over $35.00 days on water, old infrastructure, electricity shortages and, and inflation rate of more than 200 percent. a. some of the factors holding back above is farmers. it really depends on the performance of the economy, whether you are going to be successful. it really depends on the performance of

economies the input economy improves. so at the profit prospects of firms, valerie believe farming could be one solution to the countries unemployment problem . but young people say for that to work, they must have access to the resources they need to thrive. harder matessa algae, sarah, goring, ones, the district, zimbabwe, humanitarian group, say thousands of displaced people living in camps in northwestern, syria are in need of assistance. the cold weather, poor infrastructure and lack of basic facilities are increasing the risk of disease . or some of the de, zachary, is as, as a tune campaign. it live with this report. mock williams at the kara weinharten as a hinting liam at winters prolonging the suffering of syrians living in camps for displaced people overnight. rain caused damage here, as you can see, the tensor in poor shape. the wet weather is also made it difficult for people to move around easily. with me now is one of the cam residence to explain the

or we know that, that when you look around at the wreckage, there were the rebuilding looks like in an arduous process. the storm was powered by 2 phenomena, a large airborne stream of moisture called an atmospheric river and a hurricane for system known as a bomb cyclone. for 2 days it battered the region with fierce winds and torrential rains. we actually witness the appear go down, and it was not all your sight to see, but to hear, to hear the high launch rapping against each other. and the destructive force of the water was just incredible. and now to come the day after and to see it looks like a war zone here. it's the 3rd storm like this to hit california in a week. researchers say climate change is making them worse and more frequent. the severe weather has killed several people since new years. and as communities try to

korean peninsula, lots of sunshine flooding into so a winter we mix continuing. however, for japan, some heavy snow for her kind of, we will see those flurries edge down to west in areas of hall and she noticed set to get cold. the sub 0 temperatures in support, but for toko will be hanging on to double digits. still had an al jazeera, the met averse is gradually taking shape, although no one really knows what that shape will be. we explore the next generation of smart gadget, biggest tech sho in the us. and install that isis action from the nfl where the pio picture is getting clear. ah, think of some of the biggest companies in the world today. all of them big take

lou. ah, look back, you're watching al jazeera time to recap our headlines. thousands of israelis of protested in tel aviv against the new rights when government and its plans to overhaul the judicial system. they say the change is threatened democracy and freedoms left wing organizations and palestinian israeli members of the parliament lead the demonstrations that in is holding parliamentary elections with opposition . parties taking part for the 1st time since 2015. widespread protests were held after they were banned from balance boats in 2019. after nearly 3 years,

china's reopened its borders lifting cove at 19 restrictions on all travelers. rail services between hong kong and the mainland of resumes of passengers are required to show a negative test. on the mark is a research fellow at the center for china and globalization think tank. you joins us live from beijing now. good to have you with us. so 1st of all, how important is the lunar new year for people this year in particular, of course has been have been deprived of travel for a while now. right? sure, sammy, well little new year or spring festival is one of the most important holidays for the chinese people. so it also in china is usually the largest migration of people in the world. so this is a very, very big deal. and i think there is

a lot of pent up economic demand. there is also a lot of pent up motion because as we all know, china has been dealing with the cova pandemic for the last 3 years under fairly strict lockdown provisions that have kept a lot of people from traveling. so i think this is a very, very welcome development in terms of spring festival or the lunar new year that's coming up this month is a slight concern though, because the concern, at least from the rest of the world, is that code cases of rising. traditionally the luna new year, is it safe to say is a time when you might see a spike in viruses? well, that's a great question. so 1st of all, there's been a very unfortunate uh, flood of disinformation, awe from western media about this outbreak of co vit in china. so what they

did get right is this is incredibly infectious. i've seen r 0 estimates of above 16. where is the original delta? very? it was 2. so it's much more infectious, but that's only part of the story of the case vitality rate is significantly lower . so anecdotally, every one i know in beijing has been infected with this very, including myself, with the large majority, the vast majority. i've only had the mildest of symptoms recovering in several days . so the hope is that this will be no different. and as far as i know, a lot of 3rd, 4th, 5th tier cities, rural areas in china, are seeing spikes and cases that we saw several weeks ago in beijing. and again,

if the severity is like we've seen in the tier one cities in china, there will be deaths. ah, but the vast majority of people will not experienced ah, 2 severe symptoms with a toll put a strain, particularly in rural areas, where to put a strain on some of the health services what we really have to see. so china's health care system is very different from, say, the united states. in that typically when people are sick, they go to the hospital versus a primary care physician. so one of the health challenges is if you come down with coven, even if it's relatively mild, you have a fever, you have a cough. if everyone goes to the hospital, the emergency ward at once, that of course, can overwhelm the system. so a part of this is communications. a part of it is making sure that our

basic medications, like i, we're proven, ah, is available in sufficient quantity for everyone that needs it. and we, we've had, even in beijing awesome, very temporary shortages of these kinds of medicines. but this is, i think, one of the big issues and again, cove, it is still rapidly evolving and mutating. so we have to see. but experience so far is that this is much less severe. we'll see a, we already are seeing a to mastic economic rebound. and we will likely see global economic impact as more more chinese go abroad as well. and i think that would be very positive, not just for china, but the global economy overall. all right, thank you so much for your analysis of that. thank you.

the now russian shelling has killed at least one person. a niece in ukraine as moscow's unilateral sees 5 ends. how to keep the governor says the victim was a 50 year old man. fighting was reported in the dumbass region as ukrainians and russians marks orthodox christmas. he had rejected the 36 hours cease fire indonesia switzer wouldn't have gotten his meal. by the way, once again, the world to see how deceptive any statement at any level coming from moscow is i was saying something about the suppose cease fire. the reality however, was that motion sales once again hit by moot and over ukrainian positions of the war in ukraine and its impact on energy prices as false countries such as germany, to postpone plans to stop using coal in a few years. a village in western germany is due to be demolished, so cold below it can be dug up. and more than $1000.00 activists have gathered to

demonstrate against the expansion of the mine. hoster blossom joins us now from loot. serat, so step does it look like this? $1030.00 plus gathering of activists is gonna actually stop the government's plans . well, i have to say, i get this now a few 1000 already here in this tiny village in north rain, west failure to defend the last remaining village. dozens of villages have already been demolished in the years before because of this huge lik night, mine, and i can show you where it's all about. this is the gas while a mine right here behind me. and you can see the big the size of this mine and they are going to expand that now because the government says despite plants to stop or coal mining, they need to this expansion because of the war and ukraine and lack of energy

supply. so this of course has really angered the climate movement. this has now become an international rallying point for the climate millsman. people from all over europe are here now to defend this last remaining village. they have built their own village inside this area or with the wooden houses in trees and everything. and they want to stay here until the last and they say police is already in the area. you can see they're basically fancying off fired of this mine . here are expected is that in the next 2 days, when the proto site should be removed, that police will come in and take all these protesters and their houses out. but of course, it's going to be remain to be seen how much violence police or also these protests are prepared to use their products as a racing barry case, they're building all kinds of defense to stay here as long as possible. alright, believe that thanks so much. now,
