the geo politics of the post 911 world grew in the life of an innocent man b o mastery case on al jazeera ah, a decade of change. the 1970s in the middle east and north africa. in the 1st of a 2 by the year out, is there a well chart, some of the decade, pivotal events, and this $73.00 arab israeli born? he's told us military and oil embargo the seventy's in the arab world politics on al jazeera. ah, 2 us media is reporting police in california have found a body and a van believe to be connected to a must shooting.

ah, i me bargain. this is al jazeera life and dough. so coming up at attack on a government office, some somali us capital kills 5 civilians are sure. bob has claimed responsibility as ukraine uses its unity day to celebrate the country coming together to fight russia's invasion. as encouraging news on the prospect of german made tanks, france and germany seek to repair ties, which have been strained by differences over the war in ukraine. ah, thanks for joining us. police in the us state of california surrounded a van believe to be linked to a mass shooting local media, citing police forces, say the person in the vehicle killed themselves. officers surrounded the van in the city of the city of torrence. they been looking for a suspect,

believed to have opened fire at a ballroom dance studio in monterey park, near los angeles. at least 10 people were killed and 10 others injured. there's so many parts to this, right? the response on the medical side of it. but as we're looking for the suspect, we will not forget the victims of survivors. and it's important because i can, you can just imagine the trauma that they've experience and it's our responsibility to wrap our arms around them. a robot else has been falling off, their c joins us live from monterey park in california and rob, they said b as a set of a fast moving race to track down the main suspect, a police tactical team zoned in around that white van. what more do we know though? well, that's right, neither the white van was. luke was located by police in torrence that's about 48

kilometers from where i am right now. the van was linked by eye. witnesses to what happened here? the. a mass shooting and killing of 10 people at least and the wounding of 10 others and of police surrounded that there was a stand off the went on for several hours. ah, but at some point police believe the person inside that vehicle killed himself with a gunshot wound. ah, there was a video or a photograph rather of showing a figure slumped over the steering wheel of that vehicle and a bullet hole in one of the windows. so that appears to be, ah, what has happened now towards police had a press conference just a short while ago, but they didn't have very much to say instead about 90 minutes from now. we'll be getting another press conference by the los angeles county sheriff's department and hopefully they will have some answers for us. but just going back over the past the

day a day and a half or so. and it's at happened last night, right behind me in a ball room. people were dancing, they were waltzing, have fox trot tango, all of that in a popular ball rooms spot on the eve of lunar new year. some one came in with a gun. he shot and killed 10 people. they were pronounced dead on the scene. 10 others were taken to the area hospitals, their condition ranging from stable to critical a short time later and at another. a ballroom dancing establishment. not far from here us. another incident took place, but their pictures were able to wrestle a gun away from the gunman before he fired on any one. so if this person in torrence is determined to be the same person that the police released

a photograph of earlier today than the case is closed. but the motive remains a mystery. a lot of rumors flying around where i am about what the motive could could have been. ah, the a sheriff of los angeles county mentioned the possibility of a domestic dispute. ah, it appears less likely at this stage that this was a hate crime directed against asian americans are simply due to the fact that the, the apparent shooter was of the same as ethnicity as his victims need. and robot. obviously, as you mentioned, that this was a hugely important festival for america's asian community, and understandably, the police. so being very reticent about going into a potential motive, but give us a sense of how busy the area would have been. and how important of, obviously this particular day is for the community. there are, this is a like, you know, in, in other traditions, this is, this is,

this would be like, for example, if you take christmas and new year's in thanksgiving all rolled into one. this is a family time, is this new years? it's a celebration time. this street behind me, which is now closed off by yellow police tape would have been wronged with people there are tense setup back there were there st. food ah, dancing music. all sorts of things. this is kind of a family oriented. ah, holiday, that lunar new year, people like to be with their family. they liked it. a give offerings to their ancestors in the, in the form of, of fake paper money. they, it's, it's a, it's a very important holiday and, you know, a joyous time, let's put it that way. and of course the people that i've talked to now have said that, that joy is just been extinguished by this horrible incident. and they're, they're grieving. and in shock when they should be celebrating, rob, but for now,

many thanks to that, rob reynolds live in monterey park, and has rob mentioned that we are waiting for this press conference by california police to clarify exactly the situation that 5 civilians have been killed in an hour shabani attack on the mass all face and the somali capital mogadishu fighting storms, the building shortly after an explosion. 6 ow shavaun fighters were killed and at least 19 other people were injured in the assault journalists, mohammed gob, obey was close to where the attack happens. a block or so way and then one or 2 explosions that follow one after another. then all like going to fire after that going fire, as you can assume that it can chaos. and then the situation began to unfold that the kind of what is a responsibility for tack and they were attacking the municipality of course, which is equivalent to city all. it's the whole of the office for the mayor. the

district officials meet their local security official residing with there. so, and what many people believe is that the reason that this place was attacked was because it's a high value. it's hard because it's a full time government building. i think that should matter is still a factor that is still a factor that exists. and i think we need to be honest about because the government has been launching a full blown military and so in different parts of the country in the shower. but the ship are still able to strike targets and will be sure will inside government want to see what is important today. i believe is that what the government is doing today, i think they're over estimate and their capabilities in the war ensure that because they've decided to take the warranty and the rule, countryside, southern and central somebody here. but they're struggling to protect key

infrastructure and will be the shoot. gotta tell you there's something wrong with the government policy. the u. s. a said it's captured to members of iceland, syria, us central command, says the operation will disrupt the group's ability to plan and carry out attacks in the area like had a report from washington d. c. well, a reminder about the ongoing us led coalition operations in eastern syria, in particular. a spokesman for us central command says that to i saw members were captured in a helicopter and ground assault carried out by the u. s. and he says, members of that coalition operate in there, one was described as a facilitator, the other as a facilitator and largest edition. now the spokesman says that once civilian was injured in the attack, he was taken to a nearby hospital and is now being returned to his home. a few days ago, a us base in northern syria came under attack the old times bait bass,

where there are some 900 us soldiers stationed. that came under attack by drones to drones was shot down the 3rd drone actually hit the encampment, injuring at least 2 democratic syrian fighters. now, whether these 2 events are connected, the spokesman did not mention, he did not in any way connect these 2 events. but at the same time you've had a couple of days ago, a drone attack on a u. s. space in the north of syria. now you've got a us lead raid in eastern syria, capturing 2 members of iso as the u. s. claim. at least 12 people who've been killed after a residential building collapsed in northern syria. a child was among those who died in the neighborhood in a leper rescue. teams is searching for people who believe to be buried under the rubble state. media reports the building collapse, shoot a water leak, which is the weekend if

ukraine is marking unity day a day when 2 territories run by ukrainians, agree to unify and 1919 this year the nation is observing the day as it's united in the fight against russia's invasion. natasha butler reports from keith. you've been on the sweeping landscapes and picturesque views of ukraine before the war. as president followed him. is lensky gave a special video address for unity day. commemorating modern ukraine's formation for more than a century ago. young nash, great across ukraine in the summer, in the autumn, in the winter, we are defending all this together and we will win together equally. and the entire ukraine will hear the sounds of a victory for true shell crane. since russia invaded ukrainians have come together to defend their country for some unity day is a fitting symbol for a shared experience. some of her,

but we will be there for a long time. oh, johnson's visit comes as western pals have promised more weapons, the cave and prussia continues to build on germany. to allow its leopard tanks to be sent to ukraine. oh, keith says it needs all the fire pal, you can get to defend itself. most people here agree for nearly a year now ukrainians have shown what unity can look like and how powerful it can be. sasha butler, al jazeera keith as a means of encouraging news for ukraine about the delivery of german made tanks. germany's foreign minister has told french television it will not stand in the way of poland decides to send its leopard 2 tanks to ukraine. that comes with french president manuel, my chrome hosted german chancellor. we'll have shawls for the 1st face to face franco german summit since 2019. but in a smith report in paris,

the lines between france and germany is often described as the engine of the european union. it's been sputtering since last year when emanuel micron canceled this meeting. after a series of disagreements with berlin, over defense and energy policy. in the wake of the war and ukraine, differences that affect policy making in the rest of the e u. every time when there is a major decision to be taken, the 2 countries may have different approaches, but in the end, it's only when they agree that the 27th can agree. so we are in that process at the moment on different issues. one is obviously the ukraine war and how to support ukraine or, and we've seen in recent days that jennifer charles has been under a lot of criticism for his reluctance to send thanks to the ukraine and from the german chancellor on sunday. still no commitment that he'll give ukraine what it wants. it was out the us is doing a lot. germany is also doing a lot. we have constantly expanded our supplies with very effective weapons that

are already available to day. and we've always closely coordinated all these decisions with all our important allies and friends with france, for example, with the us with other major countries in europe. and of course, with all those who participate in this discussion about emanuel micron, says france is not ruled out sending its tanks, but needs to consider 3 criteria. didn't bah, commonly thought it could do. firstly, as we have been able to do since the beginning, that it does not escalate. secondly, data could bring will effective support our ukrainian friends senior. and for this, we must consider the capacity to maintain them in operational conditions and training. both leaders reaffirmed a commitment to support ukraine as long as necessary latvia lithuania, and a stony of added to the calls from other countries to send tanks to ukraine, piling the pressure on berlin. the new german defense minister says he'll visit

keith soon. he can expect one subject to dominate the agenda. burnett al jazeera paris still had him an al jazeera israeli prime minister. benjamin netanyahu dismisses a senior minister following a supreme court ruling and staff fi banks in germany say they're overwhelmed and under stocked, as millions of people tend to pay for help. ah, now it's still winter across all of north america is a lot quite daphne was saying here we could get the reins going off short mondays for cost be replaced by some back wash. no, not much. and new york won't see much if it sits the ground at all. i will be very surprised if it falls out the sky. be quite surprised. is there quite clearly in

canada and back of the high ground for thickly the rockies? and in fact, is this patch of cold here, coming up against where you guess it's going to happen. the incoming war more step from the gulf, which presents something of a problem for maybe new mexico. most likely, texas, where you got thunderstorms or heavy rain coming up against heavy snow north of dallas. that will be something to watch. come tuesday at least jumping sadness that rain disappeared through florida. you might think it might get cold in the north bahamas, but nozzle stays at 27 degrees. this breeze is not particularly strong, but overcast condition, seem likely, at least in the eastern side of nicaragua, and costa rica in south america. we have seen very big shouts recently. they continue. there are still warnings. i in ecuador, they were in eastern pedagogue. i think they're going away because the shower of more in the southeast of brazil in argentina where we seen reco breaking heat in the north. 45 degrees. that's going to be knocked back by proper thunderstorms. ah,

ah. oh. oh. lou. ah, welcome back here watching out just a reminder of our top stories,

this our local media in the u. s. reporting that a person linked to a mass shooting in california has kill themselves in this van. at least 10 people died in the shooting and a ballroom dance club following a lunar new year celebration. 5 civilians have been killed in somalia during an attack by al shabba fighters of the on group storm, the mayor's office in the capital, more condition security forces killed 6 of them. germany is foreign minister says berlin will not block poland. if it decides to send this leopard 2 tanks to ukraine, that as nato allies of pressuring chancellor laughed shoals to decide whether to supply key, if with the tax is already prime minister. benjamin netanyahu has fired a senior cabinet member. i, a dairy served as the interior and health minister that in yahoo was forced to sack him after the supreme court ruled dairy could not serve because of a conviction for tax offenses. the governments facing growing criticism over its

plans to reform the judicial system. marsha williams, the lawman, shall, as we see, is not a government as a circus. netanyahu is weak, but he needs to appoint a full time health and interior minister at the cabinet meeting today, minister dairy was fired because of corruption with the so they, when that yahoo is describe the ruling to fire dairy as regrettable and indifferent to public will in 1999 dairy was sentenced to 3 years in jail, were taking bribes. he returned to politics in 2012. last year he was convicted of tax fraud as part of a plea bargain. he agreed to leave the candidate in return for a light, a sentence, but he was appointed a netbios cabinet after the new government pass legislation allowing anyone convicted without a custodial sentence to become a minister. critic said this could also help netanyahu with his ongoing criminal cases. he's currently standing trial for bribery fraud and breach of trust charges . he denies him, ranken has more from western islam. firing actually did take place. they however,

pri, mr. benjamin netanyahu was a fuson. he actually said that he was far trying to find a way back for area dairy to get back into the government. now the deal, the likely deal has been made between shells and netanyahu will include shots taking a shelf politician taking over aria diaries of position. he's the chairman of the shells party, so it will be one person replacing the other. it is a very big blow to him to, to benjamin netanyahu though, because he is trying to currently via the justice minister, a strip the court of this kind of power. the power to reverse parliamentary decisions. now it was a $10.00 to $1.00 ruling by the supreme court. i did nitty gritty of it, is it? there were lots of various different decisions. but overarching decision was in a year ago when harriet ari was convicted of tax violations. he act, he said to the court, i will not pursue a career in politics. the court agreed on that,

and it was on that basis that you know, he had a reduced. busy sentence, when he stepped back into the court remains found to be into politics while that he found to be in contempt of that deal. and that's why it was such an overwhelming ruling. like i say, it was a 10 to one. but this has made the far right groups with in the coalition, a lot more angry than they were before. they want this supreme court to be reformed . now and economy heading towards recession and the effects of breaks at a mass strikes and making life difficult for british prime minister, where she soon act. he's only been in office for 3 months. but he's already facing the types of scandals that lead to the downfall of former prime minister boys johnson. paul recess, the support from london. now i'm out and about seeing leveling up in action all across the country to day getting fined for not wearing a seatbelt in this instagram very. i was hardly the look of that richie soon. i was going for this week. he was trying to show he could lead britain out of the gloom

and scandals of recent years. now you can follow my progressive progress has been hard to come by for the man who became a prime minister in october. and the controversy that talked his predecessors hard to shake off the route. former prime minister barak johnson was the latest to send soon. ox attempted fresh start crushing of course on sunday, while johnson was in ukraine, reports in the british media accused him of failing to declare the to man he appointed his chairman of the b. b. c. had previously helped him secure a loan of nearly $1000000.00. big deal, said johnson spokesman. but that is what the trickle of sleaze is becoming for britain's ruling party. 6 months after johnson was forced from office for one scandal to many the day before that chairman, not in the hall, we apologize for a careless error having been reportedly forced to pay $6000000.00 to u. k tax authorities. in a dispute over his finances, he had previously denied he was trying to avoid paying taxes extra embarrassing for

his party and the government, as he was financed minister during the dispute in a statement. so he said, a shame, revenue and customs concluded that this was a careless and not deliberate error, so that i could focus on my life as a public servant. i chose to settle the matter and pay what they said was jus, what we do know is that the dean brought his tax fairs up to date. so we do know that the tax bill existed because he had launched and grow and run a very, very successful business bearing michaels. he came here as a refugee green conference and persecution, speaking almost no english to the big thumbs at play in the johnson. and the how he cases will hardly help the government's position as it holds out for new pay deals for nurses, ambulance workers, teachers, and trained drivers. one of the things where he soon had going for him when he took over his prime minister was that he wasn't badly tarnished by the scandals of the forest johnson era. despite getting a police fine for attending johnson's birthday party,

you locked down. but as the conservative party continues its decades long dance with control as a fresh start is increasingly looking like a false one whole race out. his era, london, the number of people relying on charity in germany has risen by at least 50 percent of the past year. as a result, food bunks are struggling to keep up with demand step, boston reports, and berlin. this is food supermarket, no longer want to sell, but all of that is more than happy to buy for 150. it's the only way he can food a nutritious meal on the table. the 6 year old pensioner sat with prices soaring, it has become impossible to live on his pension of 3 on the $68.00 euros a month. and i really good. i find i have less and less money, but meanwhile energy costs are going up. i am really struggling to make ends meet. if organizations like this would not exist, it would be a lot harder for me. after registering people can choose from groceries that are

about to expire, that have been collected from supermarket. but recently, some people had to be rejected. you to a lack of supply. the people who are coming here when the number of people increase simply and we had a stuff new registrations, we can only give it to those who are registered here, who here for a long time. and we all as well. that's really the problem. what can we do for them? the same goes for nearly 1000 other food bags in germany. most people here are too embarrassed to be filmed. some told me they don't want their colleagues to see them depending on food handouts. while this is one of the world's richest countries, inequality has risen sharply and we for months. now, people with jobs and study incomes are turning to these food bags for help to help people cope with high inflation and pay for their energy bills. the government has

given relief payments to all germans, but 8 organization say more needs to be done. and you know, government talks a lot but has to do more than what we do this work without being paid normally in a country like this. it should not be the case that we are the one helping these people. for 13 years, hilda had the manage to buy enough groceries to last 4 days. her. this weekly trip to the food bank is painful by miscellaneous hunter, yet because they don't give me enough of a pension. i'm being screwed over in this country. parliamentarians are getting 700 euro is because of the high inflation. and what do we get? 50 euro's seriously. that's nothing. it's terrible how they treat us old people. we've also worked hard for this country that food banks expect even more customers next year with price is not expecting to go down soon and a possible recession in sight. stop fasten al jazeera, berlin,

rescue teams and peru have evacuated. more than $400.00 taurus stranded at the taurus site. much peachy. anti government processed in the area damage the rail tracks, leading to the side, forcing it to be closed indefinitely. mass demonstrations continued in the capitol on sunday, but i says, according for president dina below i say to resign and for the release of former president pedro castillo, who was arrested in december after being ousted from office. a french aircraft enthusiast has turned his passion into art. a shop in paris is packed with old parts that are given us 2nd life. he has his story. in his words, mortar, automobile, p, f r mother. just you know, my name is jeff huckman. i've had this shop for 40 years and o m recycling re purpose abilene's interest that you're in water shooting my military doors. i mean all of our planes. they're so beautiful and have, you know, if a plane is beautiful, it's parts or to you. i'm surrounded here by pieces that are totally exceptional, is had to ruin, did a more thing to treat once the planes dismantle the pieces,

a few years later it merged with 3 other companies. that's how air france was born . capital la jolla then succeed very quickly, aviation became so successful that my grandfather began to train people and sell planes or with a no more. gorski production grew enormously and our big factories were in bologna bianco, where we manufactured more than 20000 plains, whereas veneer color led with india. i was born just after the 2nd world war and my father had been a fighter pilots. he used to tell us stories about what he done. they were extraordinary lessons and bravery held in there, which are the i caught these to a little fowler adult. sometimes i go and tell my family story to children in hospitals or in schools over the site. i think eventually the shop will disappear, but i'll be opening a museum in sincerely cold, where i'll display plains in pieces. that's very unusual that the young demo thing should no one won't valley them. you know, i went reassemble them so i can show chill.
