robin, there's no more qualified immunity. now if the feds would eliminate qualified immunity, it would be fantastic, but definitely some that they want to do politically. that's offered a table already, if the republicans are in charge of the house now, or they had already been opposition in the senate in reference to it. in the senator that was working with the republican senator that was working with ah, a book of from new jersey as tim scott from south carolina. and he's already said that if a now started that qualified immunity is a nonstarter. so let me, they're not going to talk about it. and so that means that we're back in the same place. we've been all along that police brutality polish misconduct death by police . ok, so we'll continue. the police has found these b, i sorry, has found no classified documents after a search of a beach house owned by you as president joe biden. the search was part of

a special council investigation and his handling of classified material buttons, personal attorney. so the prison gave his full support and cooperation to the investigation last month if the eye agents found several classified documents and biden's home in wilmington, a white house correspondent kimberly hallett has more from washington d. c. they did not pick up any documents with any sort of classified markings on them, but there were some hand written notes that were taken from the president's residence there. the beach house, as it's known, robust beach, delaware. these handwritten notes pertain to time when the president was in fact, vice president under brock obama. now it's important to note that the president, according to his attorney, was aware of this search. it was consensual, the president was cooperative. and this is part of an ongoing search of

a number of locations including his private residence in wilmington, delaware. this follows her search where there was also a turning up of documents in a think tank in washington d. c, which really sort of set all of this, ah, ah, the think tank known as the pen biden's center. and this sort of culminated in is search for documents that prompted the attorney general merit garland to look into whether there has been a mis handling of classified documents by joe biden. not only pertaining to his time, his vice president, but also his time as a u. s senator as well. who president, pardon and us house speaker, kevin mccarthy had meant for the 1st time since they took their respective positions. relations between democrats and republicans attends because of differences over the debt ceiling. mike, hannah has moved from washington dc. we heard from the president biden's office saying that the talks were constructed, we heard from the speak in the coffee that the talks were constructive and from

both sides as well. we heard a commitment that they will continue. what we did not hear from either side with it, there was any area of agreement between the speaker to the house and the president . and this is a critical matter. last month, the u. s. reached its debt ceiling, which means that it cannot incur any of a debt unless congress agrees to raise that debt ceiling. now, should congress not do that and fries the debt ceiling, then the u. s. spaces people to which could have lots of national and even global consequences. so president of biden, exploring ways in which you can work together with the speaker of the house. remembering that the republicans now control the house of congress. and that is the key issue for the bite and administration, but at the same time, it's making clear it does not want to make any concessions in terms of government funding. that this is something that many republicans are demanding, happen that concessions are made in terms of flashing federal funding in return for

a republican dominated house to raise that debt ceiling. the u. s. federal reserve has raised its target interest right by a quarter of a percentage point. the central bank continued to promise ongoing increases and borrowing costs as part of its battle against inflation. in a statement, the fed said inflation has ease slightly from the 40 year highs hit last year, but it says russia's born ukraine was still adding to global uncertainty. ellen fisher has more. the rise and interest rates of one quarter of one percent is very much in line with expectations. it is the smallest rise since almost a year ago. but it still takes the interest rate here in the united states to around 4.75 percent the highest. it's been in 15 years. know the fed back in december, was talking about possibly raising rates to 5 percent or above. they haven't felt the need to go that far, because they think that the rate of inflation is slowing down and we know are the

inflation crisis has hit millions of families across america with increased prices . the fed chairman jerome poll acknowledges that things are improving slightly, but it's not a battle that has yet been won my colleagues and i understand the hardship that high inflation is causing. and we are strongly committed to bringing inflation back down to our 2 percent goal. over the past year, we've taken forceful actions to tighten the stance of monetary policy. we've covered a lot of ground and the full effects of our rapid tightening so far are yet to be felt. even so we have more work to do. the attention will no switch to the european central bank and the bank of england. they're expected to announce their interest rates in the coming days. it's expected that they could be looking at rises of about half of one percent. and of course, all of this is happening in the united states against the debt limit crisis that the u. s. is already hit its debt limit,

it is taking extraordinary measures to make sure the bills continue to be paid. but the federal reserve chairman jerome palo saying it would be a mistake for the us not to increase the debt limit. and he's looking for congress to do something. no, they've got around 4 months before the money. actually all runs out. they have never failed to raise the debt limit. but the longer the uncertainty continues, the more impact it will have on the u. s. economy. and by extension, the global economy, north korea says military trail is by the us and to tell us have reached what it calls an extreme red line and through the tend to peninsula, into a critical was on the statement follows the visit to south korea by the us defense secretary lloyd austin, he bound to deploy more military equipment and expand exercises. the 2 countries use b one bonus and if $20.00 to $5.00 digits during a drill on wednesday. nearly half

a 1000000 people in england and wales walked off the job on wednesday and the biggest strike and more than a decade, most of them were teachers are pushing for a pay rise in line with double digit inflation, like many other sectors. but as the team, bob reports the government standing firm, despite the growing industrial unrest oh, smiling through the colds. but normally, tamara and her colleagues at this school for people with special needs would be in sight. dave, they want to pay royce that meets the rising cost of living and treats people in the profession. i've had to make he sacrifices. i've actually watch t jobs and foot by the is now to be able to get to the keep every face in my head to be able to put fuel in my car says i can actually get to lap even friends of mine. he have been teachers 43 years, had cited that it's just not for them because they genuine, he cannot bear the stress and be the isolate and or, and the what played that,

that they are expected to do. thousands of teachers and the families marched in london on wednesday. many stress payroll is should be far higher than the 5 percent offered for last year and be paid for by the government. not comfortable ready, stretch school budgets. that pipe and pay came eligible by then. so what you're doing is you're taking wake me thing with eaters, and up enough my mom's name and like, it's just you, let's say, like national dimensions. you have to say like the doing so much more than ever applies here. with these teachers are making sure their demands are heard on what is clearly a sizable demonstration number. oh wait of industrial action. taking in various parts of the economy or calling on the government for pay rises. that leads inflation. the government insist is bound by the recommendations of the pay review body,

even though it's constrained by the financial remit. ministers gave it the independent pay review body recommended 5 percent fixed beavens teaches an 8.9 percent for new teachers. there's also progression pay within those salary bands as well. so 40 percent of classroom teachers will actually be getting pay rises up to 15.9 percent this year for the national education union that's far from good enough. they accused ministers of refusing meaningful talks. they go to dial down the rhetoric down, they ante in down to teach time, they got the interest that they got to get into the room. i'm about to about the time of resources to negotiate assessment. so at the moment there is not an offer on the table that you can put to them. no, no, i somebody for this. yeah. adding days, a delay. they should have published their evidence. i believe on friday. i haven't published it. the next education strike is due at the end of the month. if there's no movement of pay, you will likely to be seeing more protests. look just from people like tomorrow,

. but there are also concerns in washington over the parts within those drones, many of which appear to be made in the united states, heidi ger, castro. reports from washington, d. c. ukraine says it has been shooting down iranian drone launched by russia, but the hundreds in recent weeks. and what they're finding inside those drones is both troubling and surprising were the 80 percent of the drones components were made by us based companies that is, according to the u. k. based firm conflict armament research. we're talking about microchips, engine parts and other microelectronics made by u. s. companies, and somehow found inside the down iranian drones in ukraine. so the question is, how do they get there? that's the mystery that the white house is currently investigating. experts say there is no evidence that u. s. companies are knowingly selling the parts to iran,

more likely it's 3rd party distributors that are to blame. now, the us department of commerce is adding 7 more iranian entities to the export band list. experts say some of these could be show companies created by iran to get around previously existing sanction. meanwhile, iran denies it's drones have been used in ukraine and claims that iranian drones are made only with iranian parts. what remains all the post cold war nuclear arms control agreements? negotiate between the us and russia may now be in jeopardy. washington accuses moscow, violating the new start treaty by bending inspections. the treaty is set to expire in 2026 tosh. again, 9 reports on what some fear could be a significant shift and strategy on nuclear weapons. for more than 75 years, the united states and russia have been the primary players in the nuclear arms race . the 2 global power still possess 90 percent of the world's

nuclear warheads. since 2011, they've abided by an agreement limiting both their nuclear warheads. and the missiles that deliver them ratifying a free to like start, isn't about winning a victory for an administration or political party. it's about the safety of security of the united states of america. but earlier this week, the u. s. the queued russia a violating the new start treaty by prohibiting inspection. the russian ambassador to the u. s. says, given the war in ukraine, it would be imprudent to allow the american military on to its soil. russia says it will honor the treaties, other terms, even so this is generated fear in the us that the new start treaty could collapse before it expires in 2026. meanwhile,

the number of acknowledged nuclear states remained small. but nuclear no, how is spreading? that means treaties like the new start, may no longer be the most urgent topic on the non proliferation agenda. as for russia, the government maintains it would only use a nuclear weapon if attacked or facing a major threat. some analysts believe going forward, the country will rely more on what's called non strategic nuclear weapons, with short ranges, as it did during the 19 seventy's and eighty's crises between russia and the u. s. in the past have been averted through diplomacy. but with relations between the nato alliance and moscow on edge over the war in ukraine, much will be needed if that's to be achieved again. natasha name al jazeera cutter. it was has reached

a few that become so called bright comments with glowing heads and long tails. last year a new one was discovered as it passed the orbit of jupiter. and right now, if you look north, just after sunset near the big dipper constellation, using binoculars or a telescope, you might just be able to see comment 2022, e 3 zed t f, named after the telescope that saw it. and the time it was seen likely comes from the distant or cloud, a cosmic mist of water, ice and rock that sits thousands of times further from our son than neptune. it's one of 2 places, comments come from in our solar system. the last time this comment appeared in our sky, earth was in an ice age, and modern humans were making stone age tools alongside now extinct neanderthals and dennis opens. as any common approaches, the sun, it heats up, the frozen material inside, gets thrown off as gas and dust that could be seen streaking across the sky. at the

front of this one, a reaction that was only recently understood is happening. a molecule of 2 carbon atoms, burns green, before being destroyed by sunlight. comments may have brought water to earth in its early years. this one is expected to leave the sun's pole entirely flying off into interstellar space. so seeing it really is a unique opportunity. bryce bolen is an astronomer at the california institute of technology. he 1st bought the comment in march last year. one thing that we were interested in is the bold, the contents what kind of chemicals are on this comment? i think another interesting implication for these objects for comments like c 2022, e 3 is that they contain a lot of the materials, the pre biotic materials that were necessary for life on earth. so i think it's a good reminder that when you have objects like this, we have the opportunity studies objects. it's not just something that is distant

glowing in space, but we are actually seeing something that is, that is that has helped light on earth. and it's in its past, or people and hawaii were treated to an unusual sight of their own in january telescopes. at the moment, i can observe a treat, captured this mysterious whirlpool moving through the night sky. scientists believe it was related to a space, excess light launch and florida earlier that day. well, that is all for me to cry for now, but the news does continue here on al jazeera, after inside story up next. ah ah hello still no sign of the snow really easing off for japan. i'm afraid we have got

yet another system swirling away in the sea of japan. this area of low pressure driving yet more snow showers into that western side of honshu on into her cairo a little further south. on the other side of the mountains. tokyo remains shelter. 10 degrees celsius. 40 batch, around 7. as we go through friday, hopefully the snow not quite as extensive at that stage. the wind stu ease off of that little area of low pressure, just pulls out of the way long as you dry across the korean peninsula to northern parts of china. generally dry, much cooler to central air is now to single figures as we go on into friday. and further south we got this, the carrier of re bringing some rather wet weather into southern areas of china and wet weather to coming into southern parts of the philippines. some wet weather there, across borneo nasty little area storms just rolling into the malay peninsula as we go on through friday. see some very well where the coming in at that stage where,
