science at the national university of singapore. he thinks that china is entering 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 to 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 thing for 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 are take notice with their own company, but with the world economy, there is a child that if the chinese workforce gets really sick and it slows down, there could be growth. it could potentially lead to supply chain problems that

we've seen before. it could potentially lead to slow down in the world 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 create love uncertainty 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 and stuff. so it is more, it's 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 in the chinese city of john ching workers. a factory that produces antigen kits for october 19th, been protesting, or accusing the pharmaceutical companies side, bio of not paying salaries and firing several employees. violence erupted when the

police tried to disperse the demonstrators. so to get but in this parliamentary elections has ended opposition parties were 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 talon. albert address reports now from go to new this is the 1st time since 21900, but the opposition is back on the balance, which is significant. the government need said the opposite should need that the country needs that for peaceful conduct of this election, 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. the 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 their into the race for president. now basically what's happened in the last few minutes and lecturing hosp formerly and that, as you can see here, this lady came with our sons. i've been directed to another pony station because for them officially pulling 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 officials will empty the ballad walks and then start the counting process. when they start counting over here, members or representatives of 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 boat that they erected. 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 there. so that is where the number of votes for each of the political parties would be tabulated for this particular center. earlier i spoke to exploit the logo, who is the head of the think tank civic academy for africa future it perfect festively. this action would be free and firm in reason of the discussion and the negotiations between the political are those that now the opposition parties to disobey in the election. because in the past, in 2019, and in 2021 for the prisoners election, new position candidate and parties were not in the election. but now,

in the election, treat political parties from the position and mainly the from on president bonia is taking part in the lesson. what change is the decision of the constitution court to a law the, the position party to back in the election because in 2019, it was the call to that decide the above. the parties do not have to come in the required to be in the race as a vote division is very strong, less in reason of the main figures of his leader of its leadership mainly bony and secondly, the position can be strong because though the critics against the president, back the seller actually during the 6 years, many of the citizens and the additions in the action of mr. all

was in order to to price and to, to make life had and hadn't card full, the power the boards and the opposition leaders. so if the position has the chance to come in the parliament, what would change is that they will try, i think, to defy all the main last night, constrained their position to not, not be in the political landscape. the law as dodd m. jane the constitution because of the casino, it was changed just after the legislative elections in 2019. and thirdly, i think that the police and we'll try to have a control on the denomination of the, the members of the 5 can mean a constitutional court that we george the election was the parliamentary excellence and the prisoner election by them in 20 feet. ukraine has dismissed russian claims

that hundreds of its soldiers were killed in an overnight strike. schools and apartment blocks were damaged in the attack in the eastern city of climate horse. but ukraine's military says that no one was killed. local people said that windows were blown out of buildings, but there was nothing notable about the strikes. google, google, there was an explosion and then another, a series of explosion in one made the windows shake. really, there's nothing else to tell you. just a normal day. i just went back to sleep. i thought about what to do next, but i just went back to bed. president joe biden is heading to the us mexico border for the 1st time since being elected his visit to the town of el paso. and the state of texas comes just days after he announced plans to curb illegal immigration from for central and south american nations. well, the new rules of angered many migrants on saturday, hundreds, march through el paso to show their opposition. gala then ill puzzle you to get,

not all of us bad people and most of us came here to find a future for our children. now all of us came here to do bad things. i'm a family man and i came here to work and provide a better future for my daughter asleep or president biden's visit to the us. mexico border is both strategic and symbolic politically. it'll underscore the toughest stance that he's taken on the issue in a city where thousands of migrants arrive every day. that he rules are designed to encourage people to apply for asylum while in their own countries, rather than in the us itself. by the administration says that it will offer a legal pathway for 2 years. it'll accept 30000 people every month from cuba, that as whaler, nicaragua, and haiti. the migrants will be allowed to work legally if they have eligible sponsors and pass background checks. let's go live now to el paso al jazeera john henderson. is there, john? what's the president going to be doing? there to day is eager to meet any migrants.

well, the president is going to meet with the state, local, and federal officials here. he says he's going the white house as he's going to assess the security situation at the busiest crossing here in el paso, that is the bridge of the americas. it will be hard for him not to encounter migrants because as you can see, they are all over. we're not clear on whether he's going to be talking to them personally or not. there are a detention centers where many of them are living, but that's just not enough space for the hundreds, mostly venezuelans who have come to this city, fleeing persecution and poverty. so there are places here like sacred heart church . you can see right here, a 150 people are the lucky ones. they get to stay inside the church. and the rest live out here where there are warming buses because it may look warm now and it may be taxes, but this is up in the mountains, so it gets down close to sometimes under freezing overnight. and these people are

sleeping outside in these temperatures. so if the president gets to see any of this, he's going to see people living very difficultly. and let me just talk to someone who was responsible for this place. this is father rafael garcia, who is the one who's hosting many of these migrants. first of all, let me just ask you how long have you been doing this and what's it like? we saw it on december 13th, we began to see the need and then the window was coming up harsh at them for some for coming. so we opened up our parish gymnasium, we started accommodating people that night. it was at 1st 50 people stayed the 1st night i believe. but we had to gather themes of people to bring food, clothing, a variety of i'm some medications and people of course, are sick and as they're coming in. so we've managed to create a team and we're supporting it all through the private donations and just the, the church is basically handling all this so we're happy to do it. i think it's an

important call for us as church to respond to a human crisis like this, but up, but it's i think that has the been easy. i read, i see that people are being fed outside here as well. as inside, i see red cross equipment, so it sounds like you've been very busy, but it hasn't all been positive, right? the police have been arresting people the last few nights. i am told even earlier today, mostly venezuelans. what's going on there? well, the majority of the people here are from that as well. i get there in a very unique situation. they cannot ask for asylum because of title 42. but the yet, the be, the border patrol has been doing some rounds. they've off, they apprehend that a few people. it hasn't been large numbers from one. i know the police is also going iran, but i've also hear story from the, from the families themselves on their people out here that could be an a criminal elements or just creating problems. so it's good that the police also keep an eye because it also helps them to be safe. the people on the streets, you were saying,

the research reports anyway of gang activity. we are of course, right across the border from flora's mexico. where there is gang activity. i'm just talk a little about how people are living here. it looks pretty rough. it is one thing that's helping as a climate, you know, it hasn't been going real cold as being real cool. but they're here on the cd, put out some pop toilets, as you can see, a portable construction toilets besides ost. there's a lot of very good are helpful people are coming around to bring food to just a company people to even so i think some of vs. i know about civil rights and things are coming around. so it is become like a makeshift community here for now. and i saw, but i'm sure i'm a big on the street as though is no easy matter. but we've been focusing at night at 6 o'clock, we open for our families with minor children. and that's a thought that's a population. we have been mainly focusing on because we don't have room for everybody, but father raphael garcia,

let me thank you for talking to us at al jazeera and for the work that you are doing here at president biden will arrive in, oh, about an hour and a half, at least that's what his schedule says will be on the ground here for about 3 hours . so it'll be a quick trip before he heads to mexico with a 3. ready amiga meeting with the prime minister of canada and the president of mexico. but 1st, he will be here to get a 1st hand look at the border for the 1st time in the 2 years since he's been president out of the restaurant and reporting live from el paso texas. many thanks, john. let's bring in leon fresco, who's a former deputy assistant attorney general in charge of immigration of the u. s. justice department. he joins us now live for washington, d. c. so the u. s. is introduced these new laws designed to the to illegal crossings. it's also offer new legal pathways, which is supposed to encourage people to migrate to the u. s. through official channels. are these measures gonna work? well, i think they're gonna be dependent on 2 factors. so 1st i do think it brings the

ball and they're allowed to move forward. they will work because we've seen this work with the ukranian example where, where the war happened at the beginning, we saw a lot of ukrainians come to the southern border and then the united states. and now we're going to have a legal process for ukrainians to come in stock coming through the southern border and it weren't. you don't see any ukrainians coming through the southern more already. but the question is twofold. number one will the states to the mind and minister agent for letting in all these people legally now, and will they succeed in such a lawsuit? and number 2, will mexico allow people who cross illegally from places that are not traditionally mexico and central america? so we're talking about candidly garago venezuela. i'm sorry cats are you when they arrive in his wayland, ah, will they along at 80 when they allow those individuals to be re great re, to back to mexico? and so that's going to be the question about some things around because of what we see of the success of the ukrainian example. it certainly very likely work here.

why would people cross the border illegally in, in the 1st place? and how do you think migrants will respond to these new regulations? willie, these desperate people, these people who are desperate for some sort of a brighter economic future, will they actually apply for the legal ruse? i believe they will. and people only cross right now illegally from these countries that we're talking about cuba, nicaragua, and 180 because they don't have a legal alternative that needs to do so. so they want to weigh that the order entry, they would never get an appointment. and so they have to take matters in their own hands and process the united states illegally. now what they're trying to do is 2 things. one have a legal program and to have a role program at the order entry to different legal pathways to try to work your way into the united states. and you can't do it then. then that's going to be your

problem. you can't just cross across the board anymore and ask for a file that's going to be the way they use these legal program. like the ones we created for you craniums. and then you will be able to, you will be able to answer as soon as people see that that is working, they will use those programs. they won't take these life threatening risk. there's been a lot of criticism about the president's new policies. although the right policies, well, the idea is that people never liked that you can be banned from a wine for asylum if you cross across the border because that is something that president trump dried and now they're saying president by to try it. but if that can be replaced with a legal matter that is used and where people are satisfied because they're using the legal method, the criticism will go down. the skepticism is that that legal method is not going to be implemented properly. and so that people won't have any way at all because i love. and so that's going to be the test is will there be

a robust implementation of the legal pathways? the answer. good to talk to you again. so many thanks for being with us in fresco there in washington. here with an he is our av zera's still come on the program, a german community. they have to make way for a coal mine, but activists are refusing to leave until the government. here's their plea, ah, and joy as soldiers arrive home in ivory coast will tell you how they avoided along jail term. and molly, that in sport, another high profile player pulls out of the australian open farrah here with that . a little laser. ah, that been further demonstrations against the expansion of a coal mine in western germany, the village of lutes, health issue, to be demolished, so that coal deposits underneath it could be dug up. confrontations turned violent last week as police coordinated off germany had planned to stop using coal by 2030,

but it's rethinking its energy policy after the war in ukraine disrupted gas supplies. the person reports, the mine is about to be expanded because the government says they need this call. this is luke knight, round call. it's the most polluting coal that exists. and a promise to face out is called by 2030, but they say because of the war in ukraine and the energy crisis and the dependency on russian energy sources, the government says we need this goal. well, activists are against this. they have been barricading themselves in this is the last remaining village. lots are right. it's a small village. the villages themselves have left, but the activists have build a village themselves. they have been living there for nearly 2 years and they are not willing to go. so they're defending themselves to digging themselves in. they have not much time left. they're preparing themselves for confrontation with the police. and they say,

we're not going anywhere. 46 soldiers from ivory coast have returned home after molly accused them of working as mercenaries. the group was pardoned on friday, 6 months after they were detained. the arrest sparked a diplomatic dispute from the manon reports ha celebrations, and albert john, after months of uncertainty, these ivory co soldiers were facing decades in a prison in raleigh. but a pardon from the countries military government allowed them to return home the parliament must as you, i will coast. molly, it's not the same thing. who has a very heart? i'm home now and i'm very happy, said as soon as he was arrested and 30 bits a day were relieved, we cried. we fasted, we prayed, and finally, god has answered us. i mean, joy voice failed. he might not be present. allison water was there to greet them. the fate of the soldiers was at the center of month of diplomatic wrangling. the instant crated a rift between the 2 countries. but water make clear,

temperatures slightly below the average wind warnings out as well for somalia wet weather for eastern areas. we could see some flooding in places like zambia as well as in bob. weigh whether its rental downpours are set to continue over the next few days. and the rain continues to fall across madagascar heavy rain as well on the way there, but it's largely clear from much of what swanner and south africa johannesburg will see the temperature pick up with more in the way of sunshine. ah, a, [000:00:00;00]

a few weeks ago. but then what happens with the new government is that, that they really create a major and significant danger. do israel's existence of democracy with the extremist, the extremity that are there in the government? we see with all the intention of putting forward legislation that lay ruin village, the judicial system, the potential changes are on popular and televi. the city has long been seen as a center of liberal thought in israel. and now thousands of people began to protest weekly. so we came here to protest against the geisha of the israel, the democracy. we see here a process where the rights of the people will be over time consumed by this, your chronic 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. the occupied west bank,

which were legal under international law. but with this government being backed by extreme right in parties, it's unlikely the demonstrations will have the impact the purchasers hope. for now, it's being discussed in a parliamentary committee, if and when it gets the cadets at parliamentary floor for vote and it's passed. it will be a significant erosion of a system of checks and balances on this right when government, iran con, our desert, western useless humanitarian groups say that thousands of displaced people in northwestern syria are in desperate need of assistance. the cold weather poor infrastructure at a lack of basic facilities are increasing the risk of disease out zeroes. muhammad, our january is up the owls, i tune comp, and it'll knock williams at the car on line at. and as he can claim 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

she felt so she said she felt a moral duty to defend cuba against what she called the u. s. government's cruel policy towards havana. jim pumpkin is the author of a new book on animal test operation and the investigation that exposed. he joins us now live from washington, dc. good savvy with us, jim. why was she, as you say, the title of your book, america's most dangerous female spy? on a month it is you said, spied for nearly 17 years. she worked for a u. s. intelligence operation called the defense intelligence agency, kind of like the c i a for the u. s. military. the entire time she was leaking classified documents to the cubans. she also turned over the true identities of americans working, undercover in havana, the names of hundreds of other americans working on the cuba account through the intelligence community. and importantly,

she also revealed the existence and the inner workings of a very secretive classified stell satellite, that the american military had been using to spy successfully on russia, china, iran, and other us adversaries. she revealed that to the cubans, it was a multi $1000000000.00 program that never worked as well after she revealed it. how did she get away with it for so long and, and how did she do it? what was her modus operandi? was she was an ideological spy of motivated by politics and her anger at the reagan era, meddling and her words in central america. she was very crafty and discipline. she really never took any documents out of the building or past documents to her cuban handlers. she essentially had to job, she would work during the day,
