this is the news our live from our headquarters here in doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes. china says the balloon spotted in us as space belongs to it, but that it's used for civilian purposes. e leaders gather and care for a summit, pledging more support, but no fast tracked process for ukraine to join the union and new u. s. job numbers. while the economy struggles with high inflation and rising interest rates plus, ah, good process arrives and sounds to dawn with a message of reconciliation on his 1st visit to the well, the youngest nation and ensemble shall have all the latest from the fif. a club woke up in morocco. oh, who fans are getting ready to support home side? do that because of blanca, as they attempt to become the 1st african team to win determine? ah,

oh, well, it's just past 1500 gmc and we begin with breaking news from china, where the foreign ministry says it regrets what it called a civilian balloon. straying into u. s. air space. begging insists it's an object meant for scientific research. but the pentagon says it's a spy balloon, and that it's tracking it as it flies over the state of montana. canada has also summoned the chinese ambassador after its defense ministry, said a high altitude surveillance balloon was detected while will speak to him. the house in washington dc in a moment. but 1st let's go straight to katrina you. she's on skype or from beijing . katrina, the government now officially acknowledging this 1000000000 does exist, but really giving their own explanation here. that's right. so china's foreign ministry has released a statement saying that yes, this is in fact a chinese vessel, but it is not surveillance or military or intention to, according to china. they're saying that this is a, what it says is a civilian airship, primarily used to research weather and they said that due to its limits itself

steering capacity, it veered off course unintentionally due to a strong westerly winds and that it regrets this unexpected situation happening. and that it's communicating with the u. s. in terms of how to handle this going forward. now, of course we're still waiting to hear a response from the u. s. and any further details, but we do know that a similar incident did take place around the se this time. last year a balloon flew over taiwan and that did cause credit, careful. and later on we had tie ones defense force saying that it was unlikely to pose a threaten it that it was used primarily for media, roger, google or researching for katrina. this isn't the best timing, is it given brinkman's planned visit this weekend to beijing? no, not at all. i mean, china's foreign ministry have been very coin giving details of this me saying that certainly this is not going to help things going forward. then lincoln's visit. he

was supposed to be the most high ranking u. s. official to visit china in years since the beginning of the pandemic, certainly in the whole point of this trip, was help to stabilize what has been for years now a deteriorating relationship. so the fact that this has happened, whether it be what china says or not, it is very embarrassing, and it's really going to derail those plans to, to improve relations between the 2 countries. in the months leading up to this, they're already been a growing list of disagreements all around issues such as taiwan, the status of taiwan. as the island, a possible cautious over the south china sea tech controls imposed on chinese firms by the u. s. and there is a huge sense of distrust between both china and the u. s. this disagreement or what go happens over this whole situation about the balloon that is only going to add to the strain. and also it puts off course, china's intention of having more of

a conciliatory, and i guess friendly turned towards us. something that we've seen in recent months, certainly less hawkish than it was in previous years. so whether or not we're still going to have this friendly sit down, talk between the 2 sides a remains to be seen. and we will say indeed, continue that with all the latest for us from out from beijing. thank you. katrina . well, from on the u. s. perspective, let's beat. kimberly, how can she joins us now live from the white house. kimberly, what are you hearing there at the moment? well, what we're hearing is that says the u. s. president, scheduled to talk about the jobs situation in the united states, has moved up his schedule to speak to you as reporters by about 15 minutes. so we expect that we may get as bit more information about the us by balloon, from the u. s. president, as he speaks about that he's certain to get questions about it and he's getting

a lot of questions from capitol hill. in fact, us senators, particularly republican senators, urging the president to cancel his meeting or rather the secretary of state antony, blinking to cancel his meetings and beijing as a result of this balloon. and further, there are questions about why the u. s. president had did not do more to secure the air space that allowed this balloon to enter in the 1st place. so get out of tough questions from republican lawmakers. so the u. s. president likely to get those questions from reporters as well. so we're going to be watching very carefully in the next hour for that. in the meantime, the pentagon has released a statement saying that it is aware of this high altitude surveillance balloon. it says that in contrast to what the chinese government is saying, this is not a weather balloon. in fact, it is for intelligence gathering. and the other concern in all of this is the

location of montana, the u. s. state of montana of we know that this is in the area of 3 nuclear missile sites. and so this is obviously of some concern. the u. s. government says that when this was detected, what they did was that they shut down any ability to do any of this intelligence gathering. but at the same time, given the fact that this is a high, a security location, the u. s. government monitoring this and keeping the president abreast of the situation. a coffin will be watching biden's past conference. very close me here on out there a for now it can be how could at the white house. thank you very much. kimberly, ah, now moving on until the e. u officials are in cuba, highly symbolic summit, then president vladimir lensky has once again urged his western allies to supply

long range weapons to help keep push russian forces out of the dumbass region. he's also pushed the route for speedy membership, but the e u is urging cave to implement more reforms and to fulfill the conditions for its membership application. now know rigid timelines. but their goal that you have to reach reforms, for example, to improve a situation in the canada country to then reach the accession negotiations and the session accept itself. if you look at the history of the european union, it started with 6 member states. today we're 27. so that 21 different stories of accession negotiations to the european union. and this shows that there is not one size fits all, but it depends a lot on the candidates come tree. how it moves forward horseshoe road to 3 through if you crew in the european room and earlier

a soon as possible. this is another kirkwood stick in winton chu chron. and you closer to demo the president of latino you is with you to do your really be with sure and your people to morrow and for sluggish ethridge. we will be right by your side to we built a logo prefer, which you could firmly encodes on our commonly routine pass. all is some avenge available. joined us very shortly. live from moscow, but fast. let's had to keep where natasha. barbara has been watching events for us . natasha. this was obviously a very critical summit for the ukrainians, and i believe they just had a joint, a joint press conference. what have you been hearing? yes, at the end of this summit, e. u and ukrainian leaders all agreed on one thing and that this was an historic

day. this was a symbolic day of this e, you ukraine summit happening in keith in a war zone. this was a show of unity and also a message to moscow. the key is very much turned towards the european union, turned towards the west. now ukraine wants to be a member of the european union. after this summit, president vladimir, as lensky said, the key for do everything that he could use every day in his efforts to try and speed up the process of its membership. what keep wants is for an accelerated negotiation process on it, succession is ready. a candidate country that was approved last year, but it wants things to go much faster so it becomes a full member. the e. u, though has made it clear in the past and again to day off to this prescott once we heard from leaders that it will take time. the key still needs to put in place

a number of reforms meet certain conditions and criteria, and that's just the process. it's there. and it always has been, it takes time for a country to become part of the european union. even though a european union leaders made if i clear that they certainly hope that that will be the place that ukraine will reach in a few years time. they talked about other things. i will say sanctions, the e will roll out a new package of sanctions against russia in the coming weeks before february, the 24th, which is a year since russia invaded ukraine's landscape being a concern that sanctions were slowing down from the you. in recent weeks, he also wants to see sanctions that would prevent russia from rebuilding its military capacity. both sides also talked about reconstruction, the european union pledging a $1000000000.00 in order to help keith rebuild the country. so much damage. so much destruction has happened and zalinski spoke about back moved to this town in

the east of ukraine, that has been the scene of such brutal and heavy fighting now for many months between ukrainian and russian forces. zelinski said that he believes that ukrainian forces can hold on to that town if they have more weapons, particularly long range weapons. so he used the opportunity to once again, urge western powers to send all the weapons they can attach about that with all the latest force from give. thank you, natasha. well, let's now get the view from moscow with us on the binge of aid. a saw no doubt the gremlins been watching these meetings very closely. indeed they have so far, no reaction to what is happening in ukraine today. but in the last few hours you've heard from kremlin, saying, especially on the issue, are for more sanctions that quote, it is going through make sure that it is the read read latest threats against its national security and challenges that are coming forward are going to

be dealt with and we've seen in the last year that russia have been able to continue to sell its petroleum products, albeit. these are going to be some of the strenuous sanctions that come on to moscow in the next few days. but it has been able to continue to sell oil on the issue of weapons and tanks coming to help ukraine. or we've heard from roger mood, fulton, the president of russia, telling his people that after a few years of selling rod again. or there are tanks from germany, heading to words, russia, bearing the crosses. and this has been the line that has been told by kremlin or by the russian foreign ministry, and the russian president himself, that all of this war. it's russia against the rest of the world. and what he is facing is not a summer than today's there for us in moscow. thank you. a summer while there's still plenty more, had few this news hour,

including the indian stock exchange has limited share trading. and one of the world's biggest conglomerates will have an update. and we take a look at what's driving a dramatic increase and attacks by israeli settlers on palestinians in the ultra light westbank and in sport find out why this australian tennis star avoided a criminal conviction despite feeding guilty to assault. ah, pakistan's prime minister shabazz sharif, has called for unity and condemned to the rise of violence and amusing men to review security measures. it's been called just days after an attack that killed a 101 people inside a police compound investigator say the suicide bomber managed to get in because he was wearing a police uniform. he designated his explosives inside a mosque where officers had gathered for press. your arm to remove the capital in provinces. political leaders and religious figures was all take ownership of this

drive are 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 was just, i have no doubt that despite our great loss, we will overcome this threat and won't rest until terrorism is under control forever. what are correspond on us? a bag is in for charlotte with more on that security missing for us. what was attended by the security chief, the head of the intelligence, the head of the military, that provincial leaders, as well as high ranking officials. now this commit to a set up post 2014, following a book signing thought you'd want to talk against the military school that over 140 children were killed, no prime minister. she was teresa said that they don't act against terrorism. neither history will not be forgiving. and also he mentioned that cannot be challenges that this country paid that he said that they are on imaginable. but even though this country faces those,

those times is that they must again terrorism. now he's called the old party conferences, invited him, ron, calling the full prime minister to that conference and says that they should put the political differences a site for the sake of this flight. now there have been some political differences . the form of government wanted to speak with the box on the thought it was. and there were discussions around the return around 8000, maybe 102-5000 members on the condition. and they put their weapons and those told broke got their bucks on $21.00. and these last late last year we had this attempt on monday. this is the largest to talk to please in the cable book. why has suffered the single largest attack a single largest loss of life that they have ever suffered? now that has the investigation is ongoing and have really ctb footage. and they say that they have identified the tucker, but the latest cctv for dish does show a considerable security lapse. well, it's now been 100 days since iraq's prime minister mohammed child to donny took

office. he was appointed in october and after more than a year of political paralysis. but critics say he is already struggling to deliver on his promises. mama had report now from the capital back that cheese in paris as iraq supply minister signs. and they can amik agreement with france games to increase corporation in energy and public transportation more. how much a? yeah. so danny has described it as a valuable partnership that will reform and develop his country. you know, one level of lockhart. it's the 1st long term strategic agreement to be sealed by an iraqi government. at the elisa palace, partnership with france opens the door to europe. it includes investment and oil and gas clean energy and trend line project. but back home, angular, soaring as the local currency depreciates against the u. s. dollar. it is reportedly a result of money laundering by iraqi banks and the smuggling of dollars across the

borders. 2 countries, including gay or on many blame institution of corruption at ace. it was our archive . zip. the prime minister hasn't delivered on his promises. now we are hungry because of his failure. he can't even confront parliament with it. and if he's unable to solve matter, he should step down in a bit to contain public anger, sudan, he has sacked the central bank governor. when he took office in october, the prime minister promised to fight corruption. and his administration has been praised for exposing the embezzlement of billions of dollars. but it's also been accused of nepotism. oh, it sits with only he how cool moth this government is basically sir, and political interest rather than serving the people of mac. eh, sac many officials and replace him with his allies, including unqualified and corrupt officials. that means a prime minister is manipulated by certain political parties and the people reject this. o. in mid january,

after months of silence supporters of prominent she, our leader moved to the subject, gathered in baghdad to denounce the state corruption and call for economic reforms . so danny is also trying to balance iraqi foreign policy by taking a less confrontational approach towards washington to strengthen his position and gain international support. so danny is hoping to keep up on the momentum of cooperation with western powers. but that could be challenging if his iran bagged allies continue to reject america's presence in iraq. and if talks to revive the nuclear deal remain deadlock, ma'am adapted we're head alicia 0. but let's bring in ronald man. so he is the director of the iraq initiative at chassis transist now from london. and i just picking up there on the package. many i talking obviously about seed on his broken promises. now, given that just how receptive our western need is to em. well,

i think they understand the reality to some extent, you know, so danny was a fresh of a breath of fresh air. let's say because it was one year, a year after the elections to foreign governments have a prime minister and there was a lot of instability and concern at the time. so we came in and there was a kind of sense of. finally, we have a prime minister, but it's also important to know that this prime minister isn't there because of the people he wasn't voted and he's there because the political elite and the ruling party finally came to an agreement to have them back to serve a purpose which is the interest of the people. so from the perspective of, you know, the u. s. european countries in gauging, they're very much happy to continue having diplomatic relations with iraq and the government. but they're very well aware that this prime minister isn't the ultimate decision maker of the iraqi government. well, and i'll tell you, will say so more violent protests. i'm curious how you think he's perceived domestically is he just regarded as one more of the late i think he had

a small window of trans people wanted to see, you know, and, and his message was very much, i'm different. like we've seen before. i want reform, i'm the 1st prime minister who is from your on born and raised. so he tried to kind of present himself was different, but that's far what we've seen are the same policies. he's promising more jobs, he's promising to fight corruption and he's telling the people he'll, you know, to meet their demand but 100 days on. and we haven't seen much difference to his predecessors. so very quickly, iraq is across the country are being to say, oh, this is much more of the same. i remember those rather remarkable scenes as an outside, as supporters, they stormed parliament states that fits in the greens or in the next month. there were clashes. what's now happened to santa and all of that opposition? well, after that day to some extent, you know, other of gotten to not hiding but has been very quiet,

has been waiting to make his move. he's waiting for this government to fail. he's waiting for the summer to come. when you know the temperature rises and the government can produce electricity can produce a fish in water for the people and to really take advantage of what will be further citizen disillusionment in the future. to come back and say, this was my government, i had nothing to do with this and that's protest against it. interesting. still volatile time is potentially in iraq. there are not months. so the director of the iraq initiative and how speaking to us from london. thank you for joining us and sharing your expertise on out there. and i home. moving on, there were more than $800.00 attacks by israeli settlers on palestinians in the occupied west bank last year. right troops, a growing sense of impunity is fueling and increase their violence. and as bernard smith reports from near ramallah many victim say there's no point and even filing

police reports the ambulance crew were lucky to escape without serious injury. when settlers threw rocks at their vehicle last week, they were called out to the re palestinians who been injured when settlers attacked the village in the occupied west bank. and i'm a talk minister. i didn't think we would make it out of there alive. and i mean, we were driving between cars that were on fire and i would never have expected that they would attack in ambulances. there were an average of 17 settler tax a week on palestinians in 2022, a 170 percent increase in 5 years. according to the un poses with israel's new governing coalition, including foreign ministers, elected by settlers, many palestinians, the violence will get worse. the us government says it opposes settlement expansion and the legalize ation of outposts. but these railey government is promising to do just that. those new grey and white apartments over there are illegal settlements right here in the heart of the west bank. and last year just 3 percent of police

cases involving settle of violence resulted in a conviction. farrah salamis from an israeli group that monitors settler attacks. he says they now have no fear and come right into the villages on my bucket. anointed dizzy below the norman shouting ralph there, emboldened because his railey law enforcement gives them impunity and the power to carry on an escalade. when there is no accountability, the attacks increase and so does the violence to day because they are in a position of power when the government, they feel more immune settlement started appearing, not long after israel occupied the west bank in the 1967 arab israeli war there are now around 290 of them all illegal under international law. the settlements in blue on this map, gradually expanding and will eventually joined together a tactic palestinian official hassan douglas says was used when israel was found it home with him. pub grammar who don't? buffy out at hayley philosophy. they want to implement a plan to transfer palestinians from areas close to settlements. a st. similar to

that and 1948 when zionist gangs committed massacres and, and still fear to drive palestinians out of their homes. today we have another attention, yanks, new names, price tag, hill, top youth, you name. it is called the magazine. no settlers have been charged in connection with the attack on the ambulance on saturday. israel police say they'll investigate the incident, but have yet to make any arrests. bernard smith, al jazeera ramallah. now india is government is denying length to the donnie group as the stock exchange imposes restrictions on the trading of shares of all companies owned by tycoon, gotten the donnie more than $100000000000.00, has now been wiped off the value of his conglomerate half to allegations of fraud by a u. s. short seller. a donnie in town has denied accusations that his relationship with indian prime minister under, under moody, has helped him to become asians, richest man opposition. parties are calling for full discussion and permanent.

a good to me, the government has nothing to do with the attorney marches. there's absolutely no connection. so let's take a closer look at just how we got to this point. on january 24th hindenberg, new york based financial research firm accused a donnie of the biggest fraud in corporate history in reporting, telling, decades of financial malpractice. the company denied the allegations accusing hindenburg of a quote calculated attack on india, but still its stock price dropped sharply. the company was about to conduct an f p . o, which is a major offering of new shares. that sale went ahead despite the scandal and was fully subscribed by january 31st. in the securities regulator then launched an investigation and the central bank started assessing how exposed the national banking system was. then on february, the 1st the appeal was called off. money was returned to investors, but the financial meltdown continues. putney metal has more now from new delhi. the composition parties are united in their demand. they want the government to tackle

this head on the demanding a judicial inquiry and a debate in parliament. and the concerns are largely to ford, on one hand is all this money that has been lost by investors billions of dollars on the other. you know, a donnie companies are not just regular companies that critical companies to just a nation building. you know, they're building boards, the operating corn mines, the supply electricity, danny's also media, investor and technology and renewable energy. so in, in that way it is sort of future building as was. and a lot of the criticism that has come to the dani group is that the found off that company got the madonna who was wants the 2nd richest bus and on the planted and is no longer that has benefited disproportionately because of his friendship with prime minister marines are movie, and that is what opposition parties are now alleging, and they want regulate us to step in and saw dis crisis. well,

we turned to the us now with has been a surprise surgeon new jobs. despite the looming risk, they have a recession. the labor government says employ is made more than $500000.00 new hires just last month. that means the unemployment rate is now at its lowest since 1969. and that's despite the federal reserve raising interest rates in an effort to cool inflation. will let speak to heidi show castro, she's across all of this for us from washington dc. i do believe these numbers come as quite a bit of a surprise. they certainly are a, quite a big of a surprise given this is more than double what wall street had been expecting. $517000.00 new jobs created just last month alone. and as well as this falling unemployment rate. now it's at 3.4 per cent, which is indeed a 50 year loan for the united states. and this comes also as sort of a conundrum, because we've seen the headlines from last month of some,

$10000.00 layoffs going the other direction with especially the tech sectors. a companies like meta, amazon, microsoft, all and now seeing massive layoffs. so how does that all make sense? well, economists have said that perhaps it's because these laid off attack sector workers are so quickly finding new jobs that they're not unemployed for long, or they're choosing not to look for new jobs as of now. and that theory seems to have been supported by these new numbers out to day, given that we're now looking at close to 2 job openings for each person searching for a job currently in the united states. wow, i'd a, what does all of us mean for the fed strategy then to try to fight inflation? right, so the fed has been raising interest rates now 8 times in a row of this last year just on wednesday announced another slight right hike of about quarter percent touch points. and of course, that's to bring down inflation,

which has appear to start working inflation is indeed doubt the fed had also been hoping that unemployment would go up slightly, which would be a sign that again the economy is cert starting to get rained in, but we're not seeing that this, these job numbers show that there are still a red hot labor market in the us. now, jerome powell, the fed chairman, had said that this is just the beginning, seeing the impact of these interest rate hikes. he does expect ward a job losses to come horse. the goal is to prevent massive job losses that could trigger a such a recession. and there are still plenty of economists who predict, even given these warring hot job job numbers that will soon stop. and there could be a mild to moderate recession in the us this coming year. so still not all good news . they had easier, castro forest in washington dc. thanks so much heidi. while still ahead here on out a 0 syrian refugees and to ki, i become the focus of election campaigning denounced by some critics as racist. and,

and sport bron james gets even closer to breaking the n b as all time scoring record. ah ah hello, welcome to another look at the international forecast starting in south america where we seen some rather loudly storms gathering across the peru ation across bolivia, paraguay down towards the south of brazil. you're a gwyle. so saying some wet weather, some wet weather, cummings, northern areas of argentina, little drivers who go on into sassed, a brisk wind. so just around the coastal fringes around the river plate, pushing up to was a rear. as we go on through sassed, i 30, i celsius there in rio, some warm, some humid weather as well. plenty of showers across the western side of brazil, just pushing up towards the columbia. for the caribbean is lottie 5 and dry.

scattering a shower, but by law we are talking about plenty of lovely blue skies. and for the cool, a sunshine bursting through showers will affect central america, where we have got some wet to whether they're into any corolla, costa rica wet, or whether they're to southern parts of mexico. as we go through friday. we'll stick a little further south was by the time we come to west saturday, that's the same weather system which has been sliding across the southeastern corner of the u. s. thank system. this actually was brought back to i see whether that very windy weather, the flooding weather across the deep south of the us further north leaseholder this in new york, with severe wind chill, ah, in depth analysis of the days headlines from around the world to try right extremely, there is real and need to be tackled as soon as possible informed opinions. why is the sale of physicians concerned about this rather small

with 30? this is frank assessments. you know, that was a joke about the interim government. it's not it, nor does it got inside story on al jazeera. ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

ah, what are they watching al jazeera? i'm the associate a here and go home. let's remind you about top stories. china has expressed regret for what had called a civilian balloon. straying into u. s. s base. it says it's a civilian object meant for scientific research. the pentagon had earlier called it a spy balloon. ukrainian president brought him his lens. he says the country will fight to hold on to the eastern frontline city of buck mart. he's urged western allies to supply long range weapons to help keep push russian forces out of the don bus region. and pakistani prime minister shabbos sharif, has called the unity and condemned the rise of violence in a meeting mental review security measures. that was called days after an attack that killed a $101.00 people inside a police compound. now the head of the roman catholic church has arrived in south

to don. pope frances has been a vocal advocate for peace and reconciliation in the wilds. youngest nation. he's been joined by the leaders of the anglican church and the church of scotland and what they're calling a pilgrimage of peace. a majority of the south sudanese population is christian, but since its independence in 2011, the nation has seen civil war and route that have both displaced millions of people who were going to take you straight to a press conference in washington dc where the u. s. present, joe biden is addressing the media. let's listen. i'll be reporting on the state of the union. but today, today i'm happy to report at the state of the union and the state of our commer. me is strong. we learned this morning, did the economies created 517000 jobs just last month, where the half 1000000 jobs and just the month of january. in addition, we also learned that we are half

a 1000000 more jobs created last year than we thought to the january report is updated. i mean, shoot me december report is up to add that all the major k 1x2w1x2w jobs. since i took office, that means we have created more jobs in 2 years in any presidential term, any time in 2 years. that's the strongest 3 years of job growth in history. by a long shot. as my dad used to say, jobs about a lot more paycheck, despite dignity and 12000000 more americans get up every morning knowing they can provide for the families with a dignity, incense of sell forth that had nurses. we also learned that the employment rate fell to 3.4 percent, 3.4 percent as the lowest in 54 years. in fact, the last time on employment rate was that low was may of 1969. think about that and what's more, black and hispanic unemployment are near record lows. this matters more

work and age folks coming to the labor market, looking for jobs last month and haven't all, wow, that is remember, all talk about no one looking for. we need more people come in a mark when more people are coming into the market, looking for jobs and getting jobs, a positive sign for the healthy, the economy going forward. and even as a job market research is started, kaiser inflation continues to come down. inflation is now for for 6 straight months . gas prices are down more than a dollar 50 gallon sensitive creek. food inflation is falling as well as inflation is coming down, take home, pay for workers is growing up. real wages are up. wages for lower income middle income workers have gone up even more. a couple, couple of that with a 2.9 percent economic growth last quarter. and here's where we stand. a stronger job growth in history. the lowest unemployment rate in 54 years. manufacturing,

rebounding and faster rate than in the last 40 years. inflation coming down, ro races, real wages going up, but moderately going up not going through the roof. economy growing a solid clip. put simply, i would argue to buy and economic plan is working. for the past 2 years, we've heard of course, some critics right off my economic plan. they said it's just not possible to grow the economies in the bottom up in the middle out. they said we can't bring back american manufacturing. i said we can't make things american anymore. that's somehow adding jobs was a bad thing. well, or at the only way to slow down inflation was to distort jobs. well, today's data makes crystal clear. what i've always known or my goat. his critics incentives are wrong. while we may face setbacks along the way, there will be some there more work to do. it's clear. our plan is working because

of the grid and resolve the american work. we're going to keep lowering costs for family. sh, flowing cost and health care, prescription drugs, clean energy because we pass that legislation we're going to be rolling out this whole year. are going to keep saying she was hitting the ground all around the country to rebuild the infrastructure and supply chains. manufacturing more here at home. and in communities across the country that were true, easily written off or dead. we're going to not only see jobs coming back, but a sense of self worth and pride coming back. not the worst when a city has a major manufacturer leave shut down. and all of a sudden that your kid get not a high school or college says mom, i got to move. nothing here from anymore. nothing here. or i'm in terms of changing that in the heartland, as well as how we build america. we all can take pride and work if it's working. families have a good jobs,

a little more breathing. as economy grows from the bottom up in the middle out than my chapter for the long haul trickle down economics works for one group of americans. it doesn't work for everybody. and so this was all about. so i'm heading off to philadelphia. and if you want to ask the question about the economy, but i'm not going to answer any question about anything else because you never will cover this when you take a blame for taking my inflation. no. why not? because it was already there when i got here, man, member of the economy was like, when i got here jobs hemorrhaging inflation was rising. we weren't manufactured a damn thing here. we were a real economic difficult. that's why i don't. the while you've been listening that to us present or by addressing the media off the

back of a better than expected jobs report. now the unemployment figure has dipped to 3.4 percent. that's the lowest since 1969 as you had. he was getting lots of questions from the media about the relationship with china, then the dispute over a civilian or spy balloon. but he didn't take any of those questions. we'll be following that story closely for you here on al jazeera. but now moving on, and as we've been reporting the head of the roman catholic church, pope francis has arrived and saw you down for a historic visit from on that let's be to harm you. tasa. she joins us now on the phone from the capital, juba, how many there have been waiting for this moment for some time? exactly. and trying to spend the last hour or so in a private meeting with president, it's all the other vice president politics. she was late the country into war and the global calling for peace and people hoping that potentially on leticia move

here to sit down and talk and try and de grievances while that is going on. top of brewing here for a few days and center at the toil state. it's probably people that have a community, a village, a capital people, people were killed. i mean there was because the ation, the believe that was attacked the attack back. even more people were killed. i mean the record in the country a fight because our grouping, they belong to a 5th, in general, is not sure what they mean, but it's wanting a lot of people that can be as good as he was, wasn't credit to go and tell him that enough is enough, lay down. and if the country move on in peace was 5 and 2018, but a lot of was still need to implemented, for example, or unified national army has much deploy hotspots in the country and you have thousands of people with being via some of them for 2013 and displays comes across

the country to get to the home, because there's a lot and then they can go home. and so the soldiers have been deployed election have not been how may because of money and political well, and he's not as well. but these afford to be for children that are capital raises and $5.00 to $7.00 possible times. you have some people wide. yeah. having their tessa, they're giving us a sense of what's going on across the country and south. you don't from the capital, juba. thank you. so much harry: well let's not bring in sister atlanta bahati. she's a can boni missionary assistant. she joins us also from juvenile and south to don cyst. i know you've been working with the space populations from across the country is fighting can use in various places as we've been hearing that from our correspondent. what are you hoping that this paypal visit might actually achieve a share of i have been so so then for many years i share really this really no hope over many people are fulfilled on and independently from the found there they are,

chris, there are not people look at the views of the, the leader of the catholic church and the parameter of the anglican church and whether a 3rd of the scottish battalion church as may be the last the resource for peace. the politicians of social then when for the vatican in 2018, they were invited to work for peace with the fathers of the nations. now, many people here in the middle of the pool after 34 years has come with to see even the homework that he had given to them. that that time hasn't been done. that homework was to work for peace for the nation. i'm curious as to how you think that homework has been done. you said the pope wanted them to be fathers of their country, but there has been plenty of speculation and also hope from some quarters that the

pope may urge south to don's leaders to step down. especially given that the president is catholic and the way that things have been going there. do you think that that might be possible i do not see that that will enter legally indicted really into politics in the arrangements of the country . but the, during his public speech and also private speech with the president and the other stake holders in the event on the 5th, in then for the implementation of disagreement definitely before we lose a strong language, a very strong language. in the interest of the people of so sedan, even the past couple days as we are is we are speaking about 50 people, have been healed in very violent episodes over over cattle radio in 2 different areas of the country. one of one of them,

if he is not far from the capital zuba from where we're speaking. you mentioned that a lot of the people that you work with do regard the pope quite highly, even though they're not christian. how much weight do you think his voice carries, especially when we're talking about warren groups here? yes sir. this for a sum. so then is in general for all walks of life, glistening could increasingly like a spiritual leader is the really the top leader. though politics are implemented by the politicians, so they know that the, the power, the highest power, the discrete each will one. it is the only power that can convince human beings whether they are in, in power, politically order. in any other walk of life. this village will power is the only

one that can convince human beings to take to make their either choices. this is why this is what they hope from the pope. now, the pope landed in juba in the wheelchair. so that, that does not diminish his, the spiritual power. it is there that people so so down a look, they have that hope because this evolution is very dire for and most of the population, most of the population is affected by the economic crisis. multiple crisis violence in both of climate change. the landing has been massive in the past the 3 years. indeed. and, and that sister elaine ability that she is a combined missionary sister speaking to us from juba and south to don. this is to thank you so much for your time today, and we do wish you all the best with your one. now millions of syrian refugees living and to kia has become an important election issue ahead of national polls there and may. and the refugee sentiment is spreading, and one far right party is using

a controversial campaign video to try to win over versus send them closely. only reports now from a stumble. ah, target citizens buying bus tickets for syrians to send them back home. it's fiction . a campaign for, for the small, far right love her party ahead of her kids election and may suffer is hoping to tap poplar feelings surrounding took is large population of syrian refugees. part of either him, it has been accused of racism, but he says these films are the only way to reach voters you about this one? i mean, not on the syrian or the center for b, syrians are guns, russians and ukrainians, fleeing conflicts should understand that today will eventually leave. this country has 13000000 migrants and emilio are on the register. it's a burden on the economy and the security risk. both us as a new at ration would take place in partnership with the mascot and in line with

international law. this is april from this victor approach. but if they are in power, definitely bit helpless in twice what they've said before. the fact is, it is the domestic political issue now for the elections. mark riggio was last statement that turkey is tossing a 13000000 migrants is disputed, but it's generally accepted that the real number of syrians in the country is higher than the official figure of 3 and a half 1000000 is some of the largest syrian population is here. in a senior, it's nearly $135000.00 syrians have official residence here, but the real figure is less of a much higher this rate hasn't accepted any new for new registration applications since 2021. but for many syrians, there is no home to return to van avenue york. i don't have a house or any land in syria, not even relatives. i will stay here whither i get citizenship or not from doctor

busy dinner. be james. what yet? what are we have a house in sylvia? but you can't live there. there's nothing better to we don't go back. i think my old national sentiment is growing ahead of the election and it will not take much for violence to break out. in 2021, a crowd in ankara, attack serene houses and looted shops after a turkish teenager was step by assyrian. the governing up party and main opposition have also raise the prospect of repair, rating serious. but on a voluntary basis, zach very small, but opinion polls suggest it's becoming increasingly popular with just months to go until the election. the issue isn't likely to go away. and neither is this simmering tension between turks and syrians. seen em, casala al jazeera, a stumble. ah,

well, it is now time for sport and his honor. thank you very much. nest azia without casablanca will be taken on al hillary of saudi arabia in the club, woke up on saturday. the african champions will be hoping a home support can lift the team to the 1st ever when in the competition. and he was just and has been talking to the, some of the size of fans in casablanca. ah, without casablanca, friends are renowned. some of the most passionate and organized in world football. the famous for the so called cfo's choreograph displays of support involving huge banners and flags, said it was a given and further, over the last 3 weeks has been nothing short of spectacular. i haven't seen anything like it rosabelle. i can tell you that happens. imagine on 1011 different countries in the world, and i've never been in hamster like that. i've downloaded an app on my phone and

tried to measure the decibel level, and it was around mandy decibels are pretty consistent match, which i told us pretty bad for groups. how we don't long history can be traced on the rules of cancer. blank is own town, but only wont be fool as the team played at the club welt cup is, is you know, the computer to kind of why the other, the champions of africa, as we are not afraid of any one playing in morocco, is the big advantage for us, not just why dad fans, but the whole country would be behind the team. without origin story is one that informs the feelings. this team inspires us and the french occupation accessed the sports facilities was limited. so in the mid 1913 americans formed that own club without off let it be done, like a waterfall like thing, but quickly expanded to include football, the side went on to become a symbol of the nationalist movement whenever they played. mohammed has supported

the scene all his life for him with that will always be a club. it's about much more than just winning trophies when it's ready and we did go ahead and head why that is a source of hope, a source of love. it gives me a vision of a beautiful world and it's how i breathed how i forget the problems of life. after a week of work, i get to go on an adventure with my love. it's a love that can only be understood by those who have grown up with this club, football and resistance. so without the founding principles, that spirit has produced a club that's ready to take on the world. and the richardson algy sera, casablanca. earlier we spoke to support editor saudi newspaper, our news highly highly that he says the timing is very important for teams in asia and africa. obviously, zap saudi charms and agents. i was very, very strong team over the last few years. easily been the best team,

a lot of the players play for the play for the national as well. unfortunately at the moment you know, to bear bass players got injured in that famous match against argentina capture and some amount of money in the face later on. so there's a little bit we can buy that there, but if the foreman at home has not been fantastic, you know, they are, they're doing well. i'm in the 2nd, you know, behind we're going out those i'm not sure, but ups they are they just last a few days ago and now the supercop so they don't come in on grade forms. yes. they traditionally, in recent years they've had, you know, they provide so many plan the national team, but there's been a few injuries. so i think it could have been in better shape. you know, an agent teams, adjectives for the african genes. it's very, very important. we, we know south american teams take it very seriously as well. i think, you know, again, historically, maybe the europeans are the ones that don't take it seriously because it's

raising up in teams is a chance to play against the way the best plan in the world. which in most countries don't get to do that, you know, it's often you get to play against real madrid, flamingo, or european champions. so it's very, very important. and it is something that, you know, until are, for example, believe that this is the level that they are after, you know, they're definitely in asia, that is one of the best teams in the world. and this is the level that they should . yeah. so it's very important until their phones he went off the match between the dad because of lanka and l hila will play a semi final guess, brazilian side flamingo hundreds of some in the gather that we did to new airport to bid farewell to the side as they set off tomorrow. let me go. we'll play the 1st game of the torment on
