you al jazeera teaching. people in hong kong are also making their way to mainland china to celebrate the new year with their families. jessica washington reports the . i'm here at west calhoun station in hong kong part of the high speed rail network . connecting hong kong with mainland china. here you can see people from hong kong making the journey to cities like sions and joe, and also travelers from mainland china, arriving in hong kong. now, just a few weeks ago seems like this. all these passengers behind me wouldn't have been possible because the rail network was closed and only recently resumed operations. once coven 19 protocols were reduced in mainland china. now there's some optimism from tourism operators here at hong kong will be one of the preferred destination for travelers. from mainland china, as they prepare to celebrate the lunar golf. and it's very convenient. now. the interaction between hong kong and the mainland has been paused for 3 years since

the pandemic, which cause a lot of nuisance to business travelers. like me, can see that many of the tickets for journey from hong kong to mainland china has already been sold out, but it's still not entirely businesses nor more. here. there are still requirements for travelers who do need to complete p. c. has before making their journey either to hong kong or to the mainland, old travelers will need to fulfill that requirement. they're all still quoted as well of around 60000 people. either way. so around a $120000.00 people can make the journey between hong kong and mainland china each day in terms of the lunar new year, diabetes, the traditional parade, and fireworks for once again, be cancelled. but despite the differences, there's still some optimism from trade group here in hong kong. the federation of restaurants here in hong kong, so that they anticipate

a 60 percent boost to business compared to the same period last year. as many people will be celebrating here in hong kong with their friends and family. they are reports of a blast near the mayor's office. since am aaliyah's, capital, or witnesses in mogadishu, see gunshots followed the explosion. we'll have more news on this as it comes through the saying with africa and book inner fossils military rulers have given french sure some month to leave the country. that's according to sate media. demonstrations against frances military presence have been held in the capital one or 2 ago. many accuse a former colonial power of failing to improve security. over the past decade on roof sling to our kind of and i saw have expanded across the sale region from molly . since 2015, thousands of people have been killed in 2000000 displaced in book, in a fossil that's 10 percent of its population. the government's failure to end the violence

led to a military coup in january last year. within months as 2nd one to place france is being blamed for failing to bring security. last year its source pulled out of neighboring molly, which has hired mercenaries from russia's wagner group. jack hollow is a senior research fellow at the global policy institute. he says, france has become boykin, a fossil scapegoat, there's an amount offer of france being seen as the executor in your par adder because of the security situation in that part of the world, especially with the jet, his movements all in the region. that for example, book enough assorted government only controls 40 percent offer of the of its country. there's misery as corruption and so on. and france is de scapegoat for that president french military presence as not prevented the progress of g a. d. c forces. so does resentment of a population as it was in muddy, where even some,

some demonstrators were complaining that france where the maybe was a compress of some of these g at his groups, especially in nor inova money due to our regular due to our re groups. so there's a lot of mistrust towards france, fingers in eden agenda. andes, feeling of mistrust was the excluding your power mistress towards its actions. the fact that they are so many soldiers under ground and you know, to prevent the extension of g at ease them in the region as being exploited. but a country, especially russia, which has been funding the frames of anti french feelings, true social networks. and we see in order demonstrations in maddie, as in burton officers last week, people were demonstrating with portraits of 14 or russian flags as well as the portraits like this region is now feeling the movements german

chancellor, our last chance is in paris. her talks with frances president, emmanuel michael, the war in ukraine in the energy crisis are expected to be high on the agenda. they're now at a ceremony to mock 6 years after the signing of the elisa treaty that paved the way for improved relations. in brazil, president lucy, nasa luther silver has filed the chief of the army. he says security forces were involved in stormy congress. earlier this month. thousands of supporters of former president valuable scenario attacked government buildings on january 8th. they demanded the result of the presidential election in october. be overturned, general julius, his are. they are older as commanded the army since december. rougher our cutty penny is a professor of public safety. yet these are truly of august foundation. he believes any danger of a military call has passed. if they want to do something against lula,

they need to have proper support and they don't have it and they don't have also international support towards this. i think the situation was unbearable. and personally, i believe that like who had fired him last week when the, when the buildings were invaded. and i think he was also responsible because the doctor, the show us. and i think he's a good strategy to replace coleman and also the prison, an army. despite that we had to cater ships from like more than 10 years ago. they tend to be very disciplined. wilson. i was meaning to make a military coup in brazil and didn't vote support from the army from the navy and from their force. so i think there are quite a bit of question just of just suggesting that the starting of the government and i'm pretty sure the army is going to remain under control of the president. and i don't see been doing anything, dusty against the, with the brazilian population trying to get her to brazil despite all the problems

and all the difficulties we had. we have kind of assaulted democracy and there are things to be discipline. of course, they are supported from presidential radio on the to shows like army, they're complex institutions. but again, of the day, i think it is trying to rule the roost here. and i think he's, i've seen, well, a new search of us president joe biden resident has uncovered fix more classified documents. biden's lawyers agreed to the operation and said they're helping investigators. about 30 documents have been discovered since our 1st batch was found in november. bruce fine is a former us associate deputy attorney general. he says many documents considered classified by the government shouldn't be categorized such well, i think it shows a kind of a negligence if you will. part of the reason i believe is if you know, classification systems here in washington, they're vast. the abuse, i mean, probably my view is 90 percent or more of documents classified or not and should

not be classified. and so the users of the documents and i had access to them when i was in the justice department become kind of negligent. there's really very little or anything there that seems sensitive and so they don't really pay much attention to being careful about. my suspicion is that if you look at all the costs by documents taken from our lago and taken from byte, there's nothing that would cause an ordinary person. they, oh my gosh, this is dangerous to the national security. so this is why even though many, many years afterwards, where you figure that mr. buying would have protocols to go through good at a slow basis to see whether anything it was never done. because no one really think classified information really means anything and leaks every day. out to the washington post new york times wall street journal. whenever you want to make a point. and that's why i think the, you find this kind of situation occurring still ahead on al jazeera,

ah, how a citizen choir in chillies, helping take classical music back to its source. ah, now the coldest weather in the northern hemisphere has been hanging around ne, a chinese, the siberia for a couple of weeks. he started to leak and leak out and give significant snow over the open waters between the mainland and the main japanese islands. i think we'll see some snow in the korea, pincher, as well as the temperatures are coming down the high temperature, minus threes rather below where it should be in beijing. be a nose is south of the yangtze, though it's cold in places overcast. light brakes have right now, shanghai is very warm, you might find temperature drop down
