it is not in transit, nor does it got inside story. on al jazeera, a city defined by military occupation, there's never been an arab state. he with the capital of jerusalem. everyone is welcome. but as the poet spectrum that maintains the color project, that's what we refuse. it was one of the founders of a settlement with this and the story of jerusalem through the eyes of its own people, segregation, occupations, discrimination, injustice. this is apartheid in the 21st century. jerusalem, a rock and a hard place on al jazeera. ah ah, hello, i'm about this and this is the news, our life from doha. coming up,

the next 60 minutes, the united states says it's tracking a chinese spy, a balloon flying over its sensitive sides. most recently, in montana, more sanctions and more military aid you leaders are to meet ukraine's president. but membership to the block is not on the agenda. head of the catholic church has left democratic republic of congo and is now in his way to south sudan, ready for business and tourism. hong kong says it's going to reopen. it's border with mainland china and offers free flights to visitors and handy roaches and takes us to morocco where football is giving up at the club world cup. ah, we're going to begin in the united states where the pentagon says it's tracking a suspected chinese spire. balloons spotted over its air space. but our reports military leaders decided against shooting it down over the state of montana because

of the risk of falling debris. officials say the balloon was flying over sensitive sites. china's calling for com until the facts become clear. kimble shoes with their integral again, china is a responsible country and we act in accordance with international law. we have no intention to violate other countries sovereignty. and our aerospace we are gathering and verifying the facts we hope relevant parties would handle the matter in could had it way. oh, let's come over conchita. you who's joining us live now from beijing? katrina. i cannot wait and see response from china's government. ha. that's right, so china has not confirmed or denied that this is a slicing of a chinese spy, a balloon. it's warned against speculation, saying that that is not helpful. and in hopes that both sides will proceed on this matter prudently. but it certainly does not look good for china because the u. s. on the other hand,

is fairly certain that this is the chinese surveillance prop that it was last spotted floating above the u. s. state of montana. it says it's not a risk to commercial airlines though. they've chosen not to shoot it down because of a risk. any folding devry could pose to people on the ground. it also says that while it is floating above a sensitive area that from an intelligence gathering viewpoint, it's not very risky. now we have of course, been waiting for further details from the chinese government. but we have already seen some comments on social media and chinese state media here. and they've basically been saying essentially that this is hot ad being trumped up by the u. s . a. some experts have also chimed in saying that they're surprised that this sizing because while the u. s. and china had been spying on each other for decades, this is primarily done through the use of satellites. and china has been doubling its satellite optimal at had now has about 500 satellites. and experts say there isn't much that a spy balloon can glean that isn't already provided by a satellite closing secretary of state onto blinking. it's supposed be heading to

beijing in the coming days. how much do you think that links into the citing of this blue while it is significant in terms of the timing chinese foreign ministry spokesperson was asked repeatedly as to what impact this might have on the visit? and she simply said again and again, they have no information, but it does look like it's going to be a very rocky start. the whole point of this visit, the highest ranking official to visit china. since the beginning of the pandemic was to stabilize a, an already very tense relationship on the agenda was a major disagreements ranging from the status of taiwan clashes and potential close calls on the south china sea. as well as tech controls and poors by the u. s. on china, so this move is certainly only going to add to those tense discussions and it comes and it is a time when china is actually offering a more conciliatory tone, a to the u. s. and not only view as to western allies as well. china has just

reopened from quoted economy is slowing down, is trying to reach out to other countries. so that makes this move which could be perceived as provocative. all the more surprising in light of that katrina, thank you very much. indeed. katrina you talking to us from beijing while the balloon center been flying over the u. s. for a couple of days. it was foreseen over the aleutian islands in the u. s. state of alaska, american and canadian efficiency and then flew through canada and back in to u. s. air space where it was spotted again, this time over the city of billings, in montana or commercial planes, fly at an altitude somewhere between 9012000 meters. us fighter jets typically don't fly above 20000 meters. u. s. military says the balloon is way above that height. surveillance balloons usually operate above 24000 meters and they can even go as high as 37000 meters. bitter latency, military and defense expert and a visiting fellow. i. griffith university. he's joining us now from brisbane. so

thank you very much indeed for being with us. i want to ask you about the track of this balloon. first of all, what is it about that that has the u. s. so concerned i suppose that the, the, that the balloons tracking either i strategic nuclear missile, feel um that that contains about a $150.00 missile silos. ah, so the blue might be, might be pick out information about those missiles all as hell. i others 1st. how they are spread out, you will correspond was correct though, that back to spice. my systems can certainly do just as good a job, except perhaps in the monitoring certain calm notation systems. and these are, these are all line of sight and pipes upright actor irregular intervals. so the balloon could be, i singles intelligence system designed to what, tu, tu, tu, tu, to pick those are also very my. the balloon is if you like because it can be to a certain extent, steed, although the side. but it,

but certainly affected by the wind and a can a same and a decent a bit. the balloon, he's very likely sending our data back through through, through i, i wireless network if you like that to a satellite and spice and then, and then on to china. so a control in china could be both monitoring and to a certain extent, controlling the balloons progress given the heights that we were talking about that these things usually operate at. is it a surprise? do you think that it has been spotted? and if so, you know that the fact that we don't see more of them is that to surprise certain if was at night they may be on the ground, would, would see it visually. the military would know that it was there, and they seemed, have been several balloons pass over the united states failure. but the most ice has kept quiet about this. although having sold china, but they don't wish to wish them any more. so the dish to

a certain extent dispatched is an accident, or i intended that the life and during the die that this object, he is visible from stock from, from billings, which is after all, a city. so this a reasonable number of people looking up on the sky if you like. given the fact that secretary of state lincoln is supposed to be having to beijing one has to obviously speculate about the timing of this. what if it turns out that this is a chinese spy balloon? even actually, if it isn't, but there is speculation that it is. what is china gain? china flies, a funny sort of foreign relations game. they both bad butler, so pay, nominally speaking die hunt to win friends using using carrots. but at the same time, i want people to respected in a sense of fear, again as well. this is if you like, singling to the americans that china can embarrass the u. s. administration very easily. ah, so the americans ought to respected is also possible,

twitched here. and you will recall that the americans conductor, reconnaissance flights off the chinese coast, and i stayed 12 nautical miles to see this. this platform is flying well above 12 nautical miles over the land. so using theory, edith rational a spikes, if you like, not, not nationally spice. so the chinese could argue that now they showing the americans that if, if the chart, if the americans can fly close to china, china can fly a spy system over inland you. united states, and this is, this is sort of quite a feat in itself, i suppose. but extending a single mind me the term that the u. s. and china ought to talk about the americans and the chinese not flying. they are, they are, they are a spy systems close to too close to their various nations in the future. really interesting to get your thoughts on this peter latent. thank you very much and if your time thank you.

ah, ukrainian president wagner. zalinski is urging the european union to enforce more sanctions or last go as leaders meet in keep european commission president. ursula von gahlan says a sanctions package including price caps on russian oil. it will be ready for the 1st anniversary of russia's invasion. zelinski says the block is moving too slowly, just believe replace to something as when she does that. just the common to ask for the european union is to reduce russia's ability to bypass sanctions. the sooner this is achieved, the closer we will get to the defeat of russia's aggression. we have noticed that the pace of sanctions has slowed down a bit while the terrace state has speeded, adapting to sanctions. it is worth to catch up and fix it east. we believe we can do it today. russia is paying a heavy price as our sanctions. are you eroding its economy, throwing it back by

a generation. the price cap on crude oil already costs russia around $160000000.00 euros a day. and we will keep on turning up the pressure further. we will introduce without g 7 partners, an additional price cup on russian petroleum products. and by the 24th of february, exactly one year since the invasion started, we aim to have the 10th package of sanctions in place. natasha about his joining us from keep natasha plenty on the agenda at that summit. yes indeed. and we're actually in the middle of an air raid alert her at the moment . i mean, that will just be a reminder for you leaders that are in the city of the sort of thing that ukrainians are having to deal with on an almost daily basis. now what ukraine really wants from this summit is a,

a spread out fast tracked talks for it's membership process. ukraine wants to be part of the european union. it had its candidacy approved last june, but it says it was the processed to be sped up in terms of negotiation so that it becomes a full member of the you as soon as possible. now that is unlikely to happen though, because a you lead as a saying, any country that wants to be part of a, you has to fulfill a great number of criteria and conditions in areas such as media, freedom, freedom, or the judiciary also corruption. now keith has carried out a huge, sweeping anti corruption. dr. a recently that has been praised by a you leaders a here in keith, but there is still much work to be done. other things on the agenda, new sanctions on russia. that is what has been suggested by the european union that they will roll out to 10 package of sanctions on moscow in the coming weeks. something that would be welcome to by ukraine. also the e u pledging to train

a more ukrainian soldiers on each soil and u member states and a pledging at least a $1000000000.00 to help or ukraine rebuild for reconstruction. because of course, this more continues the damage and the destruction to infrastructure and buildings and rose continues, or se. natasha. thank you very much. there's natasha battle. talking to us from keith. we're going to bring in some a binge of it whose life was in moscow. it was summer we heard o'sullivan de lion there, stressing that sanctions are working in those more to come. a president zalinski saying it's just not happening fast enough house. moscow responding to all of this well, as you can imagine, moscow has not been responding in kind. it does not welcome these sanctions, but we've heard from the russian president in the last 24 hours on the idiot, anniversary of the battle of stalingrad. seeing that there is going to be more that russia is going to do in the face of all of this saying that after 80 years,

it's again, tanks of it crosses from germany, which are now going to threaten russia. but he, his country is prepared to deal with that threat and on that specific issue off than another round of sanctions. we've heard from the kremlin that there are efforts in place there is going to try and make sure that there are a checks and balances in protecting rushes interest. when it comes to all of these sanctions on the streets of moscow, you'd really see any reaction and as 2 of these incoming sanctions are, although there's been inflation in russia. but by now, the russian government is saying that is not just able to withstand the sanction, but also able to take steps which i believe to circumvent a summer. thank you very much. indeed. that's a sample binge of it talking to us from moscow. talking more had on the news r, including find out why the indian stock exchange has limited share trading. and one of the country's biggest conglomerates.

ah. but frances is on his way to south sudan for the final leg of a 6 day visit to africa is joining other prominent christian leaders are calling for. so sedans political leaders to put aside the differences and work for the good of their people. meanwhile, at least 20 people were killed and fighting according to south sedans. information minister hours before the pope's arrival, during his visit to democratic republic of congo, pope frances address tens of thousands of young people at the stadium, but not every one was happy to see the pont of his mark on web reports from the congress capital kinshasa. pope francis spoke to about 60000 young people in a stadium in kinshasa is the 1st time a pope has come to democratic republic of congo, new 40 years. he said the fallen plundering of congo minerals is fueling conflict and must stop. i like you to deploy you like when i to prove the war continues and

d r c in the east of the country, you see what happens in ukraine and all the international community mobilizes that what happens. and d, r c is much worse and the roman catholic church is one of the most powerful institutions in congo. millions of people depend on it for health care and education people here we're trying to get into the stadium to see the pope gives us as many st. trade as it's selling drinks and food flags and pope t shirt. no, everybody here is happy with the pipes. these activists say pope frances has failed to stop sexual violence by clergy. benjamin keybo co says he was repeatedly raped by a belgian priest for years when he was a boy in the room village. he says, years later, the catholic church in belgium paid him $25000.00 compensation. but the priest went on to work in an orphanage. the money never brought because the abuse i seen

working. they pro me still the program from the media serious working. so there is no adjusted yet. the campaign is say, the catholic church continues to protect sexual abuses and to bury complaints of abuse, including the recent case of a 13 year old girl in congo, who says she was raped by a priest. and if he doesn't act, contributing to the continue a strong reason to believe that when the abuse story comes out in africa, it will be worse than it was in, in the west and us in western europe until the pose takes measures to pose his vicious and accountable, we're never going to know what that story. 4 years ago, pope frances into teased rooms to stop sexual abuse and cover up the campaigners se then not followed in the developing world. and most of those abused hearing congo

still suffer in silence. malcolm web al jazeera, kinshasa democratic republic of congo, focused on foreign minister, shabby, has called for unity and condemned the rise of violence in a meeting meant to review security measures. it's been called days after an attack that killed 101 people inside a police compound. investigators say the suicide bomber managed to get in because he was wearing a police uniform in detonated as explosives inside a ma square officers had gathered for prayers. during the capital in provinces, political leaders and religious figures was all take ownership of this drive. we must shun our differences and fight together using all our resources to eradicate terrorism from this country. as we did in the past, we must be unified as proven from history, even when we get destroyed, we can rebuild it. i have no doubt that despite our great loss, we will overcome this threat and won't rest until terrorism is under control

forever. you get an update from us, the bank is joining us from push our this meeting coming that obviously a very crucial time. what more do we know about what's being discussed? well, it was attended by this, the head of the military. the header display, the high ranking officials also has of the prevent province, is designed to discuss the threats that have been doing quite this province faces, but also to reassure the people of this province that the high level officials, including the prime minister, are coming to this provincial capital showers to discuss how to tackle this issue. now, what they've said is, on the 7th of february, they will call an old party meeting. so all the park is on the same page. there's no the asking the parties to put deputies differences aside to join in action on taking on the box on the cell you bought. and again, this does come at a crucial time. the last, the pretty to have suffered is the largest loss that suffered in a single attack. but the police off saying that the investigation is still ongoing

disorder of being cp tv. for those phone calls. i'm trying to locate where those have taken place, but the have released cctv which is showing the suicide bomber but custodian investigators have released cctv video purportedly showing the moment a suicide bomber managed to infiltrate what is supposed to be a secure area. dressed in a police uniform and riding a motor bike, he was simply waved through without any checks. the question of security lapses that i admit that yes, there was a security lapse just because the st. palmer was just in a police uniform. the entire command of the police lanes gate is not under one of the party, because inside there's 7 defense, smaller units or organizations. and each one has their own command structure. and therefore, the confusion,

the chaos caused this detectable get undetected entry into the police and detected the suicide bomber continued to target. this, the tv shows him leaving his motorbike by the roadside. he's been called back by a police officer. he pushes his bike away, pretending it had broken down. this is the last check punch this, this side bama would have gone through before making his way to the mosque. investigator said the police vest to his wearing was filled with 10 to 12 kilograms of explosives. they also say he appears the attack. i didn't know where the mosque was and had to ask for directions. for the footage, released by police shows the men walking towards the mosque where he would go on to inflict the single largest loss of life. the police here have ever suffered and as they come to terms with their loss, questions about what else can be done to protect security personnel still remain. there's no modern technology to protect police facilities, having facial recognition, or fingerprints or biometric and cri, etc,

etc. on the level of technology, which is internationally accepted as a standard feature of the resources that are required, probably those are either not available are we are not having those funerals are still taking place. police chiefs are trying to keep the morale high among the 130000 strong force in the province. but this concern that could be more attacked hong kong as fully reopening as border with mainland china. from monday it's dropping visit quarters and pre travelled over 19 tests. it's also going to allow unvaccinated travelers to enter enough for 3 years. hong kong had maintained some of the strictest rules for visitors. it's not launched a campaign to new a back tourists didn't have a full opening of the border mean, firstly, there will be no limit on the number of people are all border crossings. so,

you know, need to make prior reservations and you can travel freely as you want. healing he's on it in 2023. hong kong will be more prosperous and exciting with a more vibrant market and more joyful society. electric timbers don't even live now from hong kong. richard, what does this mean for the families and friends who've been separated in both countries? jewish covered what if you can imagine there's a huge sense of relief that life is finally getting back to some sense of pre pandemic normalcy after such a long wait with so much of the rest of the world seeming to have got that long ago . there's also a sense of relief among businesses that finally with the border with the mainland of china. reopening will be a huge influx of terrorism from the chinese mainland, which typically accounts around 70 percent of the overseas arrivals into hong kong, which is why so important the economy, the chief executive, he had john lee, the political leader here, as you heard earlier, promising a bright future ahead for the rest of this year,

and you'll see now he's very much putting himself front and center of this campaign to get the city back on track. the hello from hong kong award city like no other expense. the warmest welcome to you. as far as an invitation to the world from hong kong leader john lee. these fronting a multi $1000000.00 campaign to put the city back on the map as a tourism and finance up after to most us few years. yeah. months of empty government street protests in 2019 that to a correct down on descent and the introduction of a controversial national security law. the government then imposed some of the will strictest coded 19 rules during the pandemic. the result of public exodus local businesses have taken a beating and the city recording its biggest population drop in 2022. hong kong economy shrank 3 and a half percent last year. that's the 3rd contraction in the last 4 years. and

that's adding to local concerns that city is lagging behind. rival, asian financial centers, such as singapore, the government says it's time for a turnaround. it's handing out hundreds of thousands of free flights and more than a 1000000 spending vouchers and scrapping all remaining cove in 1900 border restrictions with the chinese mainland. i don't see, you can see the streets of getting a bit busier, but i think there is still a lot of hidden warriors business confidence still seems volatile and it's hard for people to feel they have enough money to save. you have to wait and see, but we'll just try to stay positive and just see how things go. one sec to that can't wait much longer is the tourism industry. local travel agents have been organizing networking events to get back on track. hong kong received 56000000 visitors in 2019. in 2021 arrivals slumped 290000. we have done local tours with government government support. but we've been losing money left by santa

and be held to stop the bleeding this year on kong is one of the world's most beautiful cities. how come stand up, kid? come back. kid will always come back. john lee is kick starting that come back campaign with a trip to the middle east. on saturday, he's leading a business delegation to saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. he says it's time to share the great stories of hong kong and make sure that will knows the city is finally open the business again. there's a couple of major events coming up in hong kong that will effectively put it back on the map. the 1st of those is the famous hong kong rugby sevens event, which hasn't been seen here for 3 years, and typically draws tens of thousands of tourists from around the world. another is a major financial conference that the government is trying to host, but the challenge for the government in the longer term is whether or not all of these short term gains with this big spending initiative can result in the cities.

reputation really being restored, especially when other asian financial centers like singapore a very much back up and running. they be hosting a big business event. massive events like the formula, one girl pre in the last few months without any trouble. a tool with increasing uncertainty about political changes in the city and coven, 1900 policies from china being imposed on hong kong in the future. there is still this sense of unease about whether or not it will be a safe place to continue to do business in the long term. and that's the challenge for the government to try to overcome. not just the short term hurdle, but the longer term sense of international security and assuredness with regards to coming back to hong kong and treating it as it was before the pandemic life from hong kong. that's richard kimber, richer? thank you. so, head on al jazeera, my leadership and voice will not be diminished if i am not on this committee for one term delegate heroes congresswoman ellen or mars or moons, marvel house committee by the new republican majority. and syrian refugees,
