a couple of quakes in the coastal areas of talk to some one at 630 this evening and one at almost 8 pm. so really, the, the atmosphere of uncertainty of fear of traumatized individuals is very powerful. we have the mobilizing ourselves as quickly as possible off the news of the earthquake yesterday to try and get our stock some relief items that we already had for the existing crisis out to parsons in, in need. i should add that the weather conditions that are prevailing at the moment are extremely dire. we happen to be in the height of winter. and there's also a snow storm that is literally raging in the last 24 hours. so it's extremely challenging

helen was watching events very closely. kimberly a speech that's often supposed to be everything to everyone, both on the domestic and international front. what was your opinion of how president biden performed? yeah, the president seem to exceptionally confident in this speech. it was heavy on the domestic, pretty light on the foreign policy. this time around president was really making a case almost this was a defacto pitch to the american public for another 4 years in the white house. president hughes. this is an opportunity and he's how his successes that he sees in the past couple of years, namely that he believes that he's achieved some historic low unemployment rates. in fact, the numbers do show that the lowest unemployment rate and a half century. the president is still challenged with high at inflation, and so he certainly is making

a prescription and he made that case in his speech of how he believes he can combat that. but certainly one of the sort of strongest moments for the president came and some of the things that he's promised to do for americans, particularly when it comes to combating gun violence in the united states. the president said that he would work very hard to do something that he did as a u. s. senator, and that is he called on congress to ban assault weapons. it states really confront gun violence in the united states. that was something that seemed very important to the president and also the other big important issue for the president that he brought up in his speech was the issue of abortion. and really that sort of hot button issue that was a supreme court overturning roe v wade. he brought that up in his speech as well. saying that if the u. s. congress is to put in place a national abortion bound in the united states that he would veto that legislation

. so as the president really hitting on some key hot button issues for americans in the state of the union speech. and of course what was quite interesting. kimberly was that the president underlined his bipartisan wants and needs threw out but address and yet through the state of the union address, he was heckled on occasion. but he challenged those that were heckling him. i think that really resonated pops with the public to see that a bipartisan approach can work. and that was probably the highlight of the entire speech, and it was quite remarkable to watch. and this is where joe biden showed his prowess as a skilled legislator and now vice president turn president of the united states. it was a staunch thing to watch in the middle of be handled to his speech as you made the case for raising the debt limit. to protect social programs such as medicare and social security. to protect the aged in the united states, he was tackled by opposition. republicans,

one shouted liar and asked that half. and he turned to the republicans in the audience and argued with the word made the case to raise the debt limit and said, let's, let's show our support for seniors. let's show that we can support them. do you agree? and he black them to agree and you saw the sort of thumbs up moment this rare moment . have you now unanimity and it was sort of this rare moment of bipartisanship in an otherwise divided america. something you rarely see. and it really was a remarkable moment where you saw the president negotiating on legislation in real time in the midst of the state of the union address breaking from his speech. it was really quite astonishing to watch and a certainly was probably one of the finest moments of joe by his presidency up to this point. certainly will help him in this case for another 40 years and office save in to see how the politicians on the public on pick what they sole overnight

for the moment. kimberly, thank you. indeed, now republican strategist, john free, he says the che bike and borrowed a lot of his speech from other u. s. presidents, especially donald trump. you know what i was struck by this speech was it was kind of a return to normalcy. it's been a long time since we've had kind of a normal state of the union address where people we were in a post coven world, where there was elements from bill clinton, where he had a bunch of small things he wanted to talk about. like getting rid of junk fees. he was at many times bipartisan where he was trying to over and congratulate both mitch mcconnell and kevin mccarthy. but i think it was a very strong elements for the president. there were other other elements where republicans would have, you know, appreciate the, this whole straw man out there that the republicans were going to a slash social security or medicare they, they never were going to do that. they don't have the votes to do that. they don't want to do that. donald trump certainly didn't want to do that. there was other

things that he, you know, sounded a little bit like donald trump. like we got, you know, getting the border enforced. we need to do the something with fennel. we need to stand up to china, that sounds like trumping to me. and then there were things that he had to, you know, really kind of way the base and be with the base that the democrats like the republicans didn't like. so there was a big as a long speech, it was not unusual 1st day of the union, they that they had a lot of different elements to it. i think this feature is better written than delivered. i think he really hurried through the speech was thank god because it was still an hour and 20 minutes. ok, so you know, if i think that like most states, the union was right and it was kind of effective. well, still had hill and al jazeera as the schemes that trail derailed into new hires, sending toxic chemicals into the air, leaving 2000 locals, unable to return home story after the break.

ah hello there, let's look to the middle east and it remains largely unsettled across much of the region in particular the levant, where we have had that devastating earthquake places like took here and syria, continuing to see temperatures well below the average. and if it's not a wintery mix brought on by an area of low pressure, it is certainly going to feel bitterly cold at night. thunder storm warnings remain across parts of lebanon, some of that wintery weather, creeping further down south. we could see some of those snow flakes fall across the north of saudi arabia. we have got warnings out here, and it's the wind that picks up across the gulf on thursday. it's gonna inch the temperature down in doe had 21 degrees celsius. it will feel rather blustery with visibility, probably affected. now as we move to the north of africa, wet and windy weather, intensifying in the mediterranean, bring some heavy fall to the likes of. she nidia,

coastal areas of libya. wind also dominates for countries like guinea as well as nigeria for the wet weather. we have to head further south, however, some heavy falls to come particular across the south, east area, southern areas of mozambique as well as madagascar, was in pretty ferocious fonda storms, effecting eastern areas of south africa. and creeping into la, sue 2. by the time we get to thursday that she weather update. ah, depleting the issues of the day, the 5 largest polluters of the world are in india, jump into the street. they made their money on call. they made their money on field, convincing those folks. no, we need to go. green is very, very difficult, giving a voice. we chose to do that because we wanted to escape war and violence. when you humanize this narrative, you allow people to really understand the reality and break down misconceptions. the street on al jazeera

a tactical nuclear culpability is real and it can operate in any situation. and the increased threat has led the us to renew assurances to south korea that it will use its nuclear umbrella to protect the country. but it also raised the question of where the soul itself should become nuclear armed. amid the escalating tensions north korea has stopped short of conducting another nuclear test that was widely anticipated throughout 2022. that it seems, would have been a provocation to far, especially for powerful neighbor, china, shortages of food and other goods made worse by self imposed isolation. through the pandemic means north career is more reliant than ever on chinese aide, uncanny or radical ball. the only way for north korea to all come to pandemic with and it's currently crisis, is to get more support from china dish or for kim's young, on the thread of 7 nuclear tests,
