hello, i'm adrian finnegan of this is louise. i'll live from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. president joe biden says that the united states will take care of a balloon flying at its air space. china calls it an airship that accidentally entered the u. s. over $200.00 prisoners of war are released as part of an exchange between russia and ukraine. israel's view far right government faces on the weekend of protests demonstrates as are opposed to plans to change digital system. plus i'm gabriel's onto in boston, massachusetts. we're an arctic blast of cold air is rolling through the northeast of america, causing record low temperatures. that story coming up. i'm devin ashwin sports also lives in the premier league for just the 2nd time this season. the leaders and beaten by struggling everton who in their 1st game under the manage f as shown, dice is not not
9:02 pm
ah, it is just after 1800 hours, gmc president joe piped and says that the u. s. will take care of what the pentagon calls a chinese surveillance balloon that's floating over american soil biden. didn't specify how washington intends to proceed. beijing, as urged for calm as the balloon float of a charlotte in the state of north carolina. let's get straight to washington to odyssey rosette, mike hannah, who's there for us? what can we read into mike, president biden's words when he says that the u. s. will take care of this balloon? well, very difficult to assume what he meant by that he was responding to a question shouted out to him by a report on a trip to upstate new york to the city of syracuse. that's a very bland statement in a way. know specifics as to what exactly he means. however, the associated press says that sources indicate that the possibility is that the
9:03 pm
airship could be shut down once it gets over the atlantic. now that's a matter of hours away at the moment, it's over north carolina and given the wind direction, it's likely to be pushed to open the ocean. within coming hours, the associated press quoting sources as saying that the possibility of shooting down over the sea is seriously being considered previously says the associated press president biden. his instinct had been to shoot the ship down as soon as it was discovered. however, military sources persuaded him not to do so because of the potential threat to civilians on the ground. so now it does appear that the question of shooting the ship down is being discussed according to the associated press. but that would be over the atlantic once it crosses the coastline. this incident, mike has done little to improve us china relations, which were already in
9:04 pm
a pretty low at one very much so well. president biden had made clear that he wants to improve relations with china. he and she shouldn't ping go back a long time. they were vice president together. they had a lot of interaction. he had a 3 meeting with should being last year in bali and he's been insisting that he wants to administration to begin to repair that ties with china, which fell to a low point when the how speaker then how speaker visited taiwan last year. but now this incident, certainly lowering the relationship between the 2 countries. the postponement of the secretary of state's visit to china is a major blow to the diplomatic initiative that was emerging, though the white house is insistent that this is a postponement. it is not a cancellation, it appears to be tried to keep its options open, to cut down on the diplomatic damage that is possible out of this incident. mike
9:05 pm
many, thanks, cindy. down here is mike, how there live in washington. will the suspected surveillance balloon is about the size of 3 buses? it usually operates at an altitude of anywhere from 24000 to 37000 meters. that's higher than commercial planes or find a jet fly. it's filled with helium. a solar panel is attached to its base, which has been visible in the recent sightings is also also carries equipment, including cameras, radar and sensors earlier. my colleague laura kyle spoke to alexi, what are vs? who's a professor of national security and strategic studies of kirk university. he believes the balloon is more than just a civilian ship. it seems like it may be indeed the reconnaissance flight and the so called material or decal balloon has been used to undertake a deep surveillance missions, especially always sensitive areas of the united states which are particular linked
9:06 pm
to and the u. s. strategic nuclear deterrent capability. we need to remember that a seamless, i mean, sions, what carried out by the united states and other countries during the cold war. so using balloons for high altitude espionage or organizations, me issues isn't, is not something is not something new. and beyond the fact that the chinese did not allow them to united states are for it, is that there was so called me there or would you go? balloon was coming into the aerospace inadvertently also suggest that there were bria trying to keep this mission as, as yes glen to stand as possible. i am trying to argue that and perhaps fanny, that it's very difficult to keep such a big visible object can death dine, and why would it use such old fashioned technology to spy look, i mean, it may, it may sound like an old fashioned technology, but that the end of the day,
9:07 pm
what their delivers you the results and certainly compared to for example, satellites, balloons can homer or particular areas for much longer. and as a result, they can collect data. busy visuals, perhaps even through some recordings and been better than, than the satellite. so we should not on the estimate there. they get passages off this low cost of platforms. and again, this is, this is another factor that makes balloons and quite an attractive form of espionage because the cost of assembling the balloon and ran the mission with the moon is incomparably low to one of a launch in a spy satellite. and keep anything in the orbit. and again, given the fact as your report suggested earlier, the balloon flies how did your missions between 20 to 30 kilometers. it's not really easy to neutralize this started because not every country will have there sufficient air and defense capability to shut it down without causing
9:08 pm
a substantial damage or without the l. busy or with significant like to, to achieve in it where eddie image is all information that it might have already gathered. has that already been sent to pay ging look, i mean it's, it's difficult to say and what sort of equipment is on more and by. it's reasonable to assume that this balloon is indeed an, has a spy mission down as it would feed information back, for example, why satellite networks tried to be june. so we shouldn't really not be assuming that this is really in the fifty's technology. well, balloons were equipped with cameras and then they would just say a waste all the films and then you can only recover film swans, the balloon will with such the surface. so i think if, if, if it was collect in information, then if it was a gathering intelligence, i'm pretty sure this intelligence would have been found back to the source in real
9:09 pm
time that been reports in a 2nd balloon not confirmed, but over latin america. you think incredible? well it's, it's been difficult to say it may well be, you know, a surrender off of missions. it may well be one of the balloons. indeed plain they're all meant. they're illogical below. and i were as a decoy to kind of, you know, i, i've indicated they official a line that b g and has been using. it may well be another reconnaissance flights and the a with, with a mission to, to effectively distract and, and, and create some sort of the weak point mission. wow. for them, for the primary mission to achieve success so which we shouldn't be rolling out any possibilities. but i can't possibly imagine that the chinese. busy on the southern gear interest in, in acquiring whether details or not in south america, this particular family. ah,

russia and ukraine of carried out a prisoner exchange. moscow says that 63 of its service might have been released by keith at the ukrainian government says that 116 of its soldiers had been allowed to return home. according to moscow, among the russians free for those who work in so called sensitive categories, the united arab emirates was involved to negotiations. i was 0 saying bas ravi reports from ukraine's capital. what we're hearing is 116 prisoners of war have been released by the russians and are back on ukrainian soil. the president's office and the coordination, the humanitarian coordination office that works on these prisoner swamps. calling this cause for celebration, but they do say despite the fact that including today, $37.00 swaps prisoners swaps have taken place since the beginning of this conflict
9:11 pm
. there remain thousands of russia of ukrainian soldiers in russian custody. and there remain hundreds of civilians as well who are yet to be returned back to ukrainian territory so far in terms of the civilians. only about a 100 have come home in these prisoners swaps. and in terms of soldiers about just a little over 1640 prisoners soldiers have returned home to ukraine. winter in negotiations with russia, but what the ukrainians are saying despite the fact that this is a cause for celebration, there is still a long way to go to bring all of the other ukranian citizens in russian custody home. that's got the reaction from russia. some of the java t, as in moscow, the russian ministry of defense says that these people are now being treated for
9:12 pm
psychological and medical help. they're able to contact their relatives and it was made possible to get them released to you after meant. remember that they don't use the word swap with the help of mediation from the united arab emirates. we've seen in the last few months that these releases have become routine where moscow and ukraine exchange prisoners. obviously we've heard from key that there been receiving more prisoners than moscow, but this has been a case that we've seen a number of times in january. there was a release in december. there were a couple of releases and then going back to september where the releases were facilitate facilitated by turkey and saudi arabia this time around. it's been facilitated by the united arab emirates, the ministry of defense, specifically a thanks them. and you have to remember that this is a country which has so far, not given into any of the sanctions that the west wants imposed on moscow. we know that the chief mom had been zaid visited vladimir putin and also
9:13 pm
discussed the issue of you create the bodies of 2 british volunteer aid workers up and return to ukraine as part of the exchange deal. family of chris paris says that he was attempting issue monetary and evacuation along with andrew back shaw when they were killed in east of ukraine in january. it's not yet known when the boys will be handed to british embassy staff to reform home. it was that he is out from missouri still to come on. the program is really forced his way to refugee camp in the occupied west bank injuring at least 13 palestinians. o francis makes thousands of south suit. louise have been displaced by a years long con conflict. the celebrations of saudi arabia inside our killough reached the semi finals of the club, won't cup of the action coming up a little later. the
9:14 pm
whole process to being held in israel against the far right government crowds of gathered in tel aviv and west jerusalem to demonstrate against prime minister benjamin netanyahu proposals to reform the traditional system. the changes would make it easier for parliament to overturn supreme court rulings. critics say the move is antique democratic, that's go live now to west jerusalem out as you as him. wrong. com is the iran, it's the 5th week of protests. is the government feeling? any pressure? well the government's got a very simple strategy when it comes to dealing with the price. as it acts, you simply ignores them. it still has a weight for the majority within the parliament to push through it's agenda and they seem to be doing exactly that. but it is difficult to ignore this kind of number. let me just show you around. this is a small, a protest than we've seen in recent weeks,
9:15 pm
but they all outside of the president's house. probably minister benjamin netanyahu is a residence, is actually just a few minutes walk away from her. now these scenes all taking place across israel. 2 something like 20 towns are actually protesting, and they include tel aviv and heifer as well now at its height, the protest, me but a few weeks ago was getting about a 130000 people out on the streets. now though, last week's figure was around $30000.00 in a few hours, we'll know from the virtual police forces. what are the figure will be for this? but it is far smaller than i've seen in recent weeks. and that's actually good news for the government in terms of the kind of pressure that the protest movement can put on them, the more it dwindles, the more people simply get used to the idea that they are coming out. and perhaps other people should be protesting on their behalf rather than coming out and huge number. that's a problem for the protest rate. what they're trying to do is put pressure on the
9:16 pm
government. the n game here really is to force another election. but even the protesters it know that they are currently in a minority, that the vast majority of israel still support prime minister benjamin netanyahu have zeros around card live, her in west jerusalem. any thank sir, and run 13 palestinians have been wounded in an israeli raid on a town of the occupied west bank. it's the latest incident in an escalation of tension in which $36.00 palestinians have been killed since the start of the year. bernard smith reports from ramallah, who more than a week is rarely fort, is, have kept jericho locked down and it's the residence at bay as they search for suspects in a drive by shooting on saturday morning, the israeli military thought that located who they were looking for and rated a refugee camp on jericho's outskirts. a house was hit with an anti tank missile, and those inside surrendered. according to the military,
9:17 pm
rough and mamma houses were targeted as if the residents were criminals. while they were asleep in their houses, civilians you have nothing to do with the incident on mama. no one has been allowed to move freely out of this town of 37000 people in the occupied west bank. after shots were fired near an illegal israeli settlement in the area, no one was injured in that incident. it's unusual for so many people to be locked down for this long, but then these are exceptional times in the occupied west bank. so far, $36.00 palestinians have been killed this year in confrontations with these railey military and their afar. i ministers in the israeli cabinet, committed to expanding settlements and making life much tougher of palestinians than it already. it's bernard smith, al jazeera ramallah. the head of the roman catholic church is on a historic visit to south to dung, alongside the leaders of the anglican church on the church of scotland. hope francis's holding press in job of the mausoleum of john garden city. a figure in
9:18 pm
south sedans, pushed for independence ham. earlier on saturday, he met people displaced by a years long civil war as well as bishops. priests of a christian leaders of zeros hold him. a ta site is africa. little jacob now remembers coming to seek refuge in this camp for the internally displaced people in cuba. it's next to the united nations base, so he feel safe here. he was a schoolboy back in 2013. soon after war broke out. he's not 25 years old with children of his own. he hasn't been able to go back home because of violence in parts of south sit on her to as as id piece. yeah. like in a lot of things, especially food, we stayed without food for 5 months or the distribution to start last yesterday, today's work. and there's also bad news about it that the put is going to last only for 6 months. then of the 6 months,
9:19 pm
there was no food. according to the united nations, there are more than 2000000 internally displaced people insulted on. and another 2300000 have played the country as refugees. famine was briefly declared in some regions in 2017. more than 2 thirds of the population now need humanitarian aid because of conflict and natural disasters. when 2018 piece deal stopped the worst of the fighting, but parts of the agreement, including the deployment of a re, unified, national army have not been implemented. and that's why some people say they don't feel safe. returning home, be the head of the catholic church, po, process along with leaders of the anglican and scottish presbyterian churches have voiced concerns about the government slow progress in implementing the 2018 p. steel, baby delays and holding elections, and the ports of violence in some areas. civil society groups, a lack of political will and personal differences between politicians insulted on
9:20 pm
is the problem. so i'm kinda able to say and math is enough to all possible problems and we kind of use our personal differences to subject a country to suffer in the way we're suffering now. discomfort with come to deliver them. we can give a discount from violence to p, so the lead is need to forget that possible problems. the church has a lot of influence insulted on which is a predominantly christian country. many here hope this historic visit puts pressure on politicians to do better and work towards peace and reconciliation, harder matessa altogether. java. elizabeth shackleford is a senior fellow at the chicago council on global affairs at a former career diplomat for the us state department. she joins us now live from rochester, vermont. good to have you with us. will. the pope's presence in south shouldn't do anything to change the situation though. well that, that is the question i would say if you're looking for the pope's visit to bring more peace and stability, i wouldn't hold your breath about it. the po met with these leaders with president
9:21 pm
here and with is the opposition leader who's now a vice president again of react mashhad in 2018 and rome. and he had a long meetings with them and that led to absolutely no remedy to the violence situation that persists there. but i do think that there are a couple of reasons that it is important and i would say less so then you know, some bridge to actual piece because the, the leaders running the country still are pushing for that. i would say that it's bringing a lot of dignity and hope for the long suffering people who sell sudan. and it's bringing more of a spotlight again on what has long been effort gotten crisis and, and to conflict. so how does the churches approach to south to down compared to that say of the un or u. s. diplomacy? well, that's a good question as well, because i would say the conciliatory approach that the church has had in the past. and particularly if you look back to pope frances interactions with south sydney's leadership back in 2019, it was very much
9:22 pm
a new. we need both sides to bring peace without really laying any blame on anyone in particular kind of trying to say let's overcome our differences and for a better future for self sudanese. and i have to say that for a lot of people who are making a lot of money on a conflict situation and on heavy amounts of humanitarian assistance that are coming in, i don't think that's persuasive because i don't think that they have the interest of the south in these people at heart, but that approach is not that different from a lot of what we saw from the international community in the united states, in particular a number of years ago with the outbreak of the war. i'd say that there was, you know, little public, a hammering of the leadership and just more kind of, you know, calls for peace calls for peace on both sides without really calling out. who's to blame for it? this visit. we have seen a change and pope frances his tone, not a huge one, but he has certainly expressed his disappointment in the leaders which we hadn't seen before. i'm really out called out corruption in the country called out the inequitable distribution of resources and the ongoing violence in the role that
9:23 pm
leadership has played. so he certainly turned up the heat a little bit, which i would say is similar to what we've seen now kind of slowly over time with the international community. and, but the pope francis doesn't have the types of pardon the types of tools that the international community has to put pressure on the sides. it's really mostly of good will an effort coming on behalf of a very influential institution. the catholic church speaks speaking those tools, i'm the pressure that could be applied as a full diplomat based in sujata, you disappointed in the u. s. is level of engagement at its policies towards south syndrome. i would like to see a lot more engagement and i know that there has been in recent years, quite a low, high level of frustration. but you have to go back to kind of how that relationship between the united states and the south sydney's government began. you know, even before independence in 2011 and it was very much an approach of this is a success story. these are the winners that we're supporting and we're going to help them succeed with very little criticism and kind of ability to hold their hold
9:24 pm
their feet to the fire. what we ended up doing unfortunately, was kind of hoping for the best and continuing to, to prop up actors that were not helping the people of south sudan and who were really stoking a lot of violence and instability for their own financial and power again. so i'm, i understand the, the lower level of engagement, but i do think that we really need to kind of return to the table and try and come up with new approaches to, to reach a more peaceful future for self. sudan, if you are still on the ground in and susan's how saddam, what, what would your priorities be? right, well i think my priorities would be to find a transition path to get these leaders out of the way, which frankly is going to be very difficult because they don't want to go anywhere . but i think that the real future is going to be a question of, are there ways to entice these leaders to agree to step down? you know, president care in particular, but i don't think that he'll do it without an agreement from, you know, his main rival react, ashar, and look to pay the past the future. but, you know,
9:25 pm
i think sure to being able to put pressure on those leaders. i think that, you know, and this is probably something that is happening on the ground, really doubling down on work with the next generation with civil society and, you know, waiting for that moment. sometimes you can't force it to happen. but ensure that there are people on the ground or ready to take the home when there is the opportunity for the next generation to lead south down to a better future. it's been really good still to many folks due to being with us. a little struggle for both and watches for vermont. thank you. an arctic blast as hit parts of the united states and canada with fierce winds, pushing temperatures down into the negative double digits. that been warnings issued in new york and new england, where the windshield reached, kept this minus 75 degrees celsius at the summit of mount washington out there. as gabriel alesongo is out in it, in boston, not quite as 75 where you are gay, but still pretty cold. how does it feel?
9:26 pm
well, i gotta tell you it's downright warm right now compared to what it was just a few hours ago. but i mean by that is right now, here in boston, it's negative 12 degrees celsius. but just a few hours ago, it was negative $23.00 degrees celsius. but with the wind chill factor, negative, 33 people here in boston are certainly used to cold weather. there's nothing new about that this time of year. this is certainly unusual if they're not quite used to these temperatures the last time it was this cold here in boston. can you guess it was name? teen 58 so quite a long time ago. and it's not only here in boston, it's all in the northeast region of the united states, in what's called the new england states region. if you will, about 14000000 people live here and the temperatures throughout the region. we're dropping down to in some instances,
9:27 pm
negative 50 degrees celsius with winds and that was a key the winds up to 48 kilometers per hour. and of course, as you've mentioned, mount washington and new hampshire that's used to getting cold temperatures. it took the peak of a mountain, but there it was just unbelievably cold over night. as you mentioned that negative 75 degrees celsius. yeah. you heard that right? negative 75 degrees celsius. it was the coldest registered temperature anywhere in the united states ever, that they've been keeping those kind of records. and there are points here in the northeast of the u. s. over the last day where it was colder here than it was in alaska, or scandinavia, or even siberia. so that gives you an example of how cold it's been. it is warming up, as i told you a little bit. you can see some people here behind me have come out to do some ice hockey skating on this frozen pond behind me. so that's boston for you, but really certainly historically low temperatures throughout the northeast. so
9:28 pm
what's being done to keep people safe, particularly the frail, elderly well, number one, city officials and people around the region are saying, just stay inside, don't go outside unless you really have to. but beyond that, they're also opening up a warming shelter areas for people that are homeless or perhaps are losing power or don't have enough heat at their home. they're also checking on people as well, the elderly. they kept the main train station here in boston open over night, so anyone could stay there to stay warm that needed to. but the bottom line is the key is they're just basically saying, stay inside, don't come outside unless you have to, because it's serious, quite frankly, the temperatures here in boston this morning were low enough where any sort of exposed skin could start to get frostbite. in under 10 minutes, it's warming up
9:29 pm
a little bit now, so it's not quite that bad now, but that's, it was just a couple hours ago here in boston. so they're definitely going really door to door when they have to checking on elderly, getting people into shelters that need it. bottom line is keeping people off the streets and inside and warm areas as much as they can. the intrepid gabriel elizondo lived there in boston manufactured d still to come here. all of these are the tesla seo eat on, must cleared of fraud charges of to be accused of misleading investors. with a tweet, one of the report says about corruption across latin america. and for me to was will champion expects a tough title challenge. the seasons will hear from him in school with gentle ah,
9:30 pm
that was the radiant peninsula. now settled, quiet and slowly warming up the opposite is happening in the levant and the eastern met. generally, one storm systems gone through the next one is already gathering, coming down through greece and the aegean. so the forecast is no pleasanter than current. whether it means a huge mass of snow for turkey to batches. you can see. but if you're bit further close to the water or over the water in cyprus, the coast levant is wind and rain. that rain does penetrate to some degree in the event, not very far into siri. you'll notice the temperature is really gonna drop quite tremendously in athens. for example, ishmael and talia. however, this is winter is worse, which we should expect it. that rate will carry on through northern syria and it was by john parts of iran, myrtle shirt, self as snow. there's more snow to be seen in afghanistan, but mostly ran as i've already mentioned. the rebates are it's very quiet weather temperatures rising slowly in the gulf states. this is the picture of
9:31 pm
