a big bet that the chinese authorities are take notice with their own company, but with the world economy, there is a charge that if the chinese workforce gets really thick and it flows down there, it could, 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 the strategy creat love uncertainty for the world economy. the official line that's been put out by, by the, by so why is that the current strains are more infectious, but they're less severe. they lead to less hospitalizations and less death. so it is more easier to sort of accountant 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. posing in bernini this parliamentary election has ended opposition. parties are on the ballot for the 1st time since 2015. they were banned from the previous vote in 2019 that led to violent protests against president patrice talent. i'm an address just now live from makoto. know in benin, i'm it. tell us more about the significance of this election. what basically 3 important points to take note of this election. edwin, this is the 4th time since $21900.00. but the opposition is back on the balance, which is significant. the government needs said the opposite should need that the country needs that 4 piece will conduct of this election out of course, the aftermath of the counting process for the selection. secondly, women have been located nearly a quarter of the seats in the 109 parliament. and then the 3rd and most important

for the opposition, especially. they need representation in parliament in order for their candidate to qualify for the presidential elections. they electro know, states that candidate running for president must be endorsed by a member of parliament and may as unless they have a presentation in parliament that will be very, very difficult for them to sort of get in there into the race for president. now basically what's happened in the last few minutes and lecturing has formerly and that, as you can see here, this lady came with our sons. i've been directed to another point station because for them officially calling has close. in this particular pulling station, i seen many others of the more than a dozen pulling boots that are in this particular polling centers. what is going to happen now? the electron shows empty the ballard box and then start the counting process when they start counting over here, members or representatives or political parties who will be watching closely,

to see how the counting process will be done. and as soon as they finish the counting process, as soon as they finish the counting process, then they will try to tabulate the results of the election on a board, the erect. and it's a temporary board by the way, if the camera ponds, that way you see a list of 75 or 6 political parties listed. so that is where the a number of votes for each of the political parties will be tabulated for this particular center. now over here, what they're trying to do is to try to unlock this ballot box and then count what you see here is the number of our apollo papers inside that box compared to the presidential elections. this election has witness and law tana, and lower than much of that partitions of civil society. even the opposition political parties who expected that with their return to the electoral system,

most of their supporters will be out in their numbers to vote what, what we've seen throughout the country to day during voting is a law turner. yes, there has been an uptick of voters, i mean the arrival of more voters into the polling stations or towards the end of the voting process. but that is not enough. that is not impressive enough to much. what we saw during the presidential elections are some few years ago out 0 summit address reporting live there from a polling station and caught anew in. been in many thanks, did um it will a vote as you heard, is seen as an important test of democracy. but ins, image has been dented under president patrice talon who came to power in 2016. he went back on a pledge not to run for a further turn. in the poll on sunday, 6600000 people were eligible to vote for 100 and mine parliamentary seats. among the parties contesting with the democrats linked to the president's predecessor and rival thomas bonnie: i. results could indicate the strength of opposition forces competing to succeed

talon in the presidential election. in 2026. experts logo is head of the think tanks, civic academy for africa's future. he joins us now. live from continent. good. have you with sir. a people voting to be confident that the selection would be free and fair. how likely is a repeat of 29 teams violence yes, people think that fictive later, this next old b, 3 and firm in reason of the discussion and the negotiations between the political act. those that now held the opposition parties to participate in this election because in the past, in 2000 in 19 and in 2021 for the prisoners election. the new position candidate and parties were not big. but in the lesson, and there was the reason why they railed some 100 mobilization whether the country but now in these election tree,

political parties from the position and mainly the from on president bonia is the are taking part in this lesson. so there isn't or particularly of reasons why there would be in, in, in the concert the next one is still valid. and so audion what, what, what i'm sorry to interrupt or what, what changed between now and, and 2019 to allow the opposition parties to take part in this election. what change is that decision of the competition ought to a law the, the position party to that in the election? because in 2019, it was the cause of that decided that the parties do not have documented the required to be in the race that the jurisprudence of the court laws

opposition party to take part in the election. so what is the likely makeup of the new parliament? do you think how strongly opposition b, in terms of its represent representation in parliament and, and what will parliament be able to do with its mandate? as of all the prison is very strong, unless in reason of the main figures of his leader of its leadership mainly bony yag. and secondly, the position can be across it are strong because those are the critics against the president berkeley style on exxon was during the last 6 years, many of cities most and the distance. and the action of mr. all was in order to a price and to, to make life hard and hot and hard for the part of the boys and the opposition

leaders. so if the position has the chance to come in, the parliament one will change is that they will try a thing to what if i all the main last night constrained a position to know to not be in the political landscape. the laws dogs are chained. the constitution because the consumer was changed just after the legislative elections in 2019 and family. i think that the political will try to have a control on the denomination of the, the members of the firm can mean a constitutional court that we, george the election of the parliamentary links was on the prison of election. them in $26.00 are which will be of her in, on the full of full for the country. good talk to so many thanks, dave, to being with us expert to look at them and concert a coating of thousands of people in israel and protested against proposals to strip

the supreme court and its powers to overturn laws voted on in the concert or correspond demeron con reports now from which jerusalem on why the changes are so controversial. if israel's new government has its way this building could, how's a far less powerful supreme court potential changes announced by the justice minister would enable parliament over all the court decisions. reversing a decades old system of checks and balances. as benjamin netanyahu returns to powers prime minister, he faces 3 court cases involving charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust. changes to the legal system were a major demand, right. when politicians who back netanyahu and that sparked anger and protests, we're accept fully the elections that took place a few weeks ago. but then what happens with the new government is that, that they really create a major and significant danger. do what israel's existence of democracy with

the extremist, the extremity that are there in the government. we see with old intention of putting forward legislation that will ruin village the judicial system. the potential changes are unpopular in televi. the city has long been seen as a center of liberal, cold in israel, and now thousands of people began to protest waitlist. so we came here to protest against the gate and of the israeli democracy. we see a process where the rights of the people will be over time consumed by this theocratic government. and we want to avoid that. but it's not just by internal israeli politics. the supreme court has also ruled on the legality of settlements in the occupied west bank, which were legal under international law. but with this government being backed by extreme brighton parties, it's unlikely the demonstrations will have the impact, the protesters hope. for now, it's being discussed in a parliamentary committee,

if and when it gets the cadets it parliamentary floor for vote at its past. it will be a significant erosion of a system of checks and balances on this right when government iran con our desert west gruesome. here with a nissan from al jazeera stills come on the program, heavy rain wreaking havoc in western australia with experts saying it'll take months before some communities will cover that in sports. another high profile player pulls out of the australian open farrah here with that. and the rest of the days action a little later, ah, president joe biden, it set to visit the border between the us and mexico days after announcing strict rules to deter illegal immigration, his visit to el paso, texas will be both strategic and symbolic politically. it'll underscore, his administration's toughest stance yet on immigration, in a city with thousands of migrants arrive each day,

the new rules to my people from cuba, nicaragua, haiti, and venezuela, a chance to apply for asylum if they enter the us illegally. instead, the u. s. will offer a legal pathway for 2 years. it'll accept 30000 people every month. for those 4 countries, the migrants will be allowed to work legally. if they have eligible sponsors and pass background checks. let's go live now to washington d. c l t 0. how do you, jo, castro can tell us more? i did. what exactly will the president be doing in el paso? will he be meeting? and he migrants adrian, that is uncertain though he will be re route. he will be touring shelters where there are migrants staying. this is the very 1st time that president biden has gone to the us mexico border since he took office in the white house. and as you said, this is a trip that has a lot of symbolic meetings or not expecting any more policy announcements to come

out of it. but this is something that republicans have been pushing biden to do for many months, especially as the numbers of arrests at the border made by us authorities has reached a historic high last year. 2.2000000 arrests. now many of those were people crossing multiple times, but this is a problem that has plagued us president presidents of both parties for decades. border security, illegal immigration, and bite. and along with making those announcements about the $30000.00 refugees asylum seekers a month that he would accept from those countries in latin america. he has also been trying to implement bigger reforms. and as far as getting the asylum process to work more efficiently, rather than having a 4 year delay before getting a hearing and immigration court is trying to push that down to months. it has shown some success as a pilot program. however,

it has not the resources to be expanded across the southern border. biden has been trying to ask congress to fund more of that 3 and a half $1000000000.00, but he's been met with resistance from republicans. and that also brings us to the political realities that biden is facing. he's being criticized for not being generous enough to these asylum seekers by democrats, but then from republicans, they have consistently use this border issue as a cudgel against bite. and particularly as the next presidential election approaches, it's something that has been shown to really get the republican base fired up and vote against democratic presidents. and again, republicans, while this remains a visible problem that biden is facing at the border, it may serve the republicans political purposes. and looking ahead, heidi what's likely to come out of by been speaking with his mexican counterpart this week. that's right,

because he'll be going right from el paso this afternoon, then on to mexico city, where he will be taking part in the summit between mexico's president and the prime minister of canada. in the 3 amigos meeting, they will be discussing trade, regional security, and of course this migration issue topping those priorities. and we've heard from the bite administration, one of the themes here that they are saying this is an a problem, not just for the united states, but for all of the western hemisphere, particularly as people have been fleeing venezuela, nicaragua, a countries i have shown have dictatorships and they're not only coming to the united states, but also to surrounding countries. how does your castro live in washington manufactured it? heidi daniel garza is president of the libra initiative of non profit grassroots organization supporting the hispanic community in the us. he joins us now live from mccullen, texas. good to have you with us. so what, what do you think the prism disparage were chief with this visit?

what message is he aiming to send to his opponents in congress and to the american people? well in his intent is one that he's trying to strike a balance between enhancing security at the border and then of course, creating legal channels that will help to mitigate the crush at the border that has been created during these 2 years of where he basically almost put out a welcome sign to anyone. it's clear that the administration also, unfortunately, i sort of taken a go added alone strategy. members of the far left leaning congressional hispanic caucus voice frustration that they had not been engaged in this a parole major that he has proposed. and so in the end, i think my sense is that this entire effort is being done to shore up one of his weaknesses that was being fed in the run up to a possible reelection. unfortunately, this is not going to change the impression that americans have of the administration's mis handling on the entire or on situation at the border. we've

gone from $45000.00 a month who have been detained tooth over $200000.00 per month. and just these 2 years or so. so in your view what, what is the president getting right on integration of where is he getting it so very wrong. why am he starting to turn towards a border security where he needs or where he's getting it wrong, is that he has not reached across the aisle actually to make a good faith effort to work with republican so that republicans can move from their fixed position of border security only, and begin to also look at bills that it will also increase legal channels to, to, to help you know, with, with the flow of, of immigrants. look, there is good bipartisan bills that have been proposed. the bipartisan border solutions act by john corian and cinema, a democrat and republican that would create for new courts across the texas border . 300 new judges and lawyers. this was of course help to give due process to the system but speed it up so that people know whether they qualify for asylum or not,

as opposed to processing people and allowing them into the border right now what he's proposing with the paroles a situation and it would give people a 2 year temporary status in america, but then they'd have to get in line to the end is broken. the silence system that has a backlog of 2000000 people. so you're creating the sort of 2 tier system of individuals who are undocumented. in america and citizens with rights and privileges, this is not a desirable situation because there are over now $15000000.00 folks in that in that situation, does this situation though have any sort of easy fix? to what extent is the president caught between a rock and a hard place hand, whatever he does, it's not. can us ever satisfy his critics? yeah. you know, the hard liners on the left or what they seek are legal channels, like dreamer situation for refugees, for asylum. where you could actually increase the number of folks that are coming in legally, which i would support. but the republicans are saying that can only be leveraged by

enhancing border security, and that's where they're stuck. a republicans are, are very hard on restriction, as policies and democrats on a legal channels. they need to move from their fixed position and reach some kind of consensus where they can balance both. we can have both. we can increase security at the border at the same time, like the palmer can modernization act, that that again is a bipartisan solution that would create opportunity in america for folks to meet labor demand in america. but it takes a bipartisan effort. it takes leadership at the very top that the white house could could provide. because theresa, many thanks. indeed, daniel garza that, and mckellen, texas, japanese soldiers have conducted a joint military drill with the u. s. u. k. and australia. it's the 1st time the petition to straighten troops have taken part in the annual exercise. japan recently unveiled its biggest military build up in decades as tensioned with north korea or on the rise. ah,
