8:02 pm
a decisive breakthrough. together. we have changed the original protocol and our to day announcing the new windsor framework. today's agreement delivers smooth flowing trade within the whole the united kingdom protects northern islands place in our union and safeguards sovereignty for the people of northern ireland. we knew that for us to be able to make the most of the potential of our partnership solutions where need it for the issue was around the protocol on island, northern island. we knew it was not going to be easy. we knew we needed to listen to each other's concerns very carefully. above all, we had to listen to the concerns of the people of northern ireland. let's get more on this now from roy. challenge here joins us from the northern ireland and belfast,
8:03 pm
and roy, politicians, they're looking at the details of this deal now called the windsor frame black. what do we know about these details and how the politicians are going to feel about them? well, what we know here is what's been promised by richie sudak ends as low on the line in their press conference that they gave a short while ago, where basically richie sumac went through it and tried to make out that this was addressing the key concerns backs the union is parties in northern on and have about the current northern on and protocol. what they say about it is that it creates what they called a democratic deficit, where you laws apply in northern ireland. but northern ireland doesn't have any means of creating or crafting those laws. so they wanted that address. they also want northern islands, place within the united kingdom,
8:04 pm
enshrined to protect it so that there is no variation ready in between northern ireland and the rest of the u. k, and they also want to try and protect northern ireland from the, the reach of the european court of justice. and also to make sure that the trade's organizations, as i said up between the u. k. and northern ireland aren't hindered in any way as i currently are with what's been called a kind of border in the irish see now, all of these things were addressed by richey soon act. in his speech, he says that this is what the, this, this new framework does. but the, the, you pay, the main our union is party here is going to go through that deal with a fine tooth comb. making sure that as they say they're passes, their 7 test addresses, the things that they're worried about and they are being noncom. hello my. when i come in we can, hey, what jeffrey donna. so that leader said earlier on when he was asked about it. i
8:05 pm
haven't seen it yet, so once we've seen the legal tax will come to the view, do you feel possible? well, i know the positive or negative. i think that we need to take time to look at the data. what's available? how does not match or haven't, has already seen and said that the new deal was going to have a positive impact on all the people in northern ireland. how much of this concerns them? like i've been coming to know that on quite a lot of over recent weeks and months and i've been speaking to people about the price of color and how they feel about it. it is not very high, i would say on the list of priorities of most people who live here. it's a very, very sore political points for the d u p, particularly. but if you go to businesses and he say, how's the protocol work and view by large,
8:06 pm
they're fairly positive about setting the manufacturing sector as you say, that it allows them to trade very easily with the south, a republic of ireland, and very easily or with the united kingdom as well. there are problems for importing things from the u. k. in to northern ireland and extra paperwork her and bureaucracy that's businesses have to do to get that done. but there are workarounds for that. and by and large, that's been sort of adapted to most people here are worried about the lack of a function and government. this building behind me store want, is politically paralyzed the moment because the d p in protest over the protocol pulled out of power sharing a year ago and they haven't returned to it. so what people want is to have a functional health care system. they want to have functioning education, these things, these services, how anguishing at the moment, in part because of the paralysis installment and for that to get working. and the d u p. have to be satisfied with this deal, and we got to wait to see how they feel about it. roy talons brains,
8:07 pm
the latest that from northern ireland. thanks very much, laurie. ah, in magnitude 5.6. quite shaken. the city of my last year in the east and take care, one person has been reported dead and more buildings have been destroyed. the new trauma comes 3 weeks after 2 major earthquakes killed, 50000 people across the southern. and northern area of correspondent trades about in the last year and has this report were here in the province offer my lad to yeah, this is just 10 kilometers away from where the latest earthquake, the 5.6 earthquake happened earlier this monday we're here where their search and rescue operations continue to be ongoing disaster or so it is just told that they believe that 3 people remained underneath the rubble here. but that they're not
8:08 pm
hearing any voices now, but they continue to check, trying to continue and saving to save people's lives. we've been told that at least 29 buildings have collapsed or been damaged in this part of the country in this city that at least 32 people have been rescued from under the rubble this country still struggling to recover from the earthquakes that happened 3 weeks ago from fair, clever re, 6, the city had suffered lots of damage. when you're coming in here, you can see still people that are living in tents, trying in a way to handle what are what happened with their lives that the turkish government has given away tens and food, and water has given away cash handouts to help people cope with what they have gone through, but most of the people we have spoken towards day when they'll be able to have their lives. the back of the turkish government is also hoping to start the
8:09 pm
rebuilding process as soon as possible, hoping to build around 200000 homes for people who have lost. there's a villages among others, but certainly the earthquakes that have been going on here. the aftershocks continue to the rebuilding efforts is already magic, say one person has been wounded in a shooting near the city of jericho in the occupied westbank. this comes as israel deployed hundreds of additional soldiers to the area after an escalation of violence on sunday. to his ready settlers was shot dead near the city of nablus. one palestinian was killed and hundreds were injured. our heart is in horror in the occupied west bank. it's an absolute ghost town. the only people that are standing here on the streets are people like asked the press the media as well as the israeli soldiers. you may just see behind me there's a temporary check point, what's the exit to hawaii? they're monitoring anyone who is going in and out,
8:10 pm
which all settlers that call there that's just heading in that direction. if it takes a left, it will end up one of the settler settlements there, which are almost all illegal here in occupied west bank. we've seen quite a few of them drive past actually, and the situation is really tense with them. stop paying right in front of us and clearly very unhappy that we are here. few ton rounds on either side of me to the rights and to the left. you'll see buildings that have been torch. we have a home here, the neighbor, the owners of this house left and fled to lots of them saying that they haven't had any form of protection. they were left on their own with the israeli forces yesterday, seeing what was happening. and if anything, firing, tear gas at the palestinian, so it gives you a context of what is happening here and how tense the situation is. the u. s.
8:11 pm
ambassador to china says, be jang will have to be wor, honest about what happened 3 years ago. and will hon with the origin of the cove at 19 crisis. nicholas burns says that's what needs to happen if washington and china are going to work together. if we're going to do something to strengthen the world health organization, and we're gonna have to push china to be more active in it. and to, of course, be more honest about what happened 3 years ago. and were hon with the origin of the coven 19 crisis? and let's get more on this with our correspondent rosalyn johnson. stung joins us live from washington. d. c. emeralds, those comments. they come a day off to the u. s. department of energy report saying the cause of this pandemic was most likely a leak from a woo. hon lab. what more do we know about that report? well, this story was 1st reported in the wall street journal, which said that in an addendum to an october 2021 report ordered by the biden
8:12 pm
administration. the department of energy said that it had low confidence, but that it found that there was apparently some evidence that suggested that the coven virus, apparently, was the result of a leak from one of the biological labs in wu, han, china. now the information on how this leak apparently happened was not revealed to the reporters who worked on this story because the report itself is classified. however of the of report time was as said to be that of low confidence and it was an addendum. it was an addition to this report. now it's our, it's worth pointing out that another agency that contributed to this report the f b. i said the same thing except that it believes that of the a leak was
8:13 pm
a matter of moderate assurances that it was more likely in the f. b i's view than in that of the department of energy. it's worth pointing out that for other agencies, excuse me. 5 other agencies, including the national intelligence council, thought that this was, in fact, the result of natural transmission. going back to suggestions that the virus might have been present at a what animal of food market, and that is how the virus was transmitted to humans. to other agencies. i have a not come up with a determination either way. now this report is classified, but it is said to have been given to the white house and to was some leading members of congress. and this is a matter where it's really hard to confirm exactly what has happened because the report is still classified. according to the journal, the us ambassador to china is saying that the u. s. must push beijing on this issue
8:14 pm
. that happened is the by demonstration to do that. well, this is certainly a message that has been coming since the beginning of the biden harris administration. there really is no change there. what we heard from nicholas burns, who is, of course, the u. s. ambassador to china, but the question is, how can you persuade beijing to actually reveal more about what it knows when, as we saw from a spokesperson at the foreign ministry on monday, the chinese view is that the u. s. is unnecessarily and dangerously politicizing. the origins of the cove it outbreak, the chinese have always insisted that this was not something that came from a lab. even though the u. s. has taken great pains to say that it does not believe that this was a deliberate release of the virus into the environment. the. busy current to a posture according to the classified to port report is that this was an accident,
8:15 pm
but it's going to be very difficult because in the past 3 years of the pandemic, there's been a lot of controversy about whether beijing has opened itself facilities to complete, unfettered and impartial inspection, or whether it has held back information in order to protect it, standing both domestically and internationally. ok, rust odin ways. latest lines that from washington d. c. thanks very much. roland. the now the kremlin has said there are no conditions for peace in ukraine at the moment . presidential spokesman dmitri pasco, however, has said that most go is studying china is piece proposal attentively trying to announced the plan to coincide with the one year anniversary of the invasion earlier this week. and the proposal, beijing is calling for an end to western sanctions on russia. and urging moscow and

8:17 pm
a song ends up are all here, each had 4 people recommended. and each decided to join the russia. they are now integrated parts of russia. and this is where the russian troops are f for now. and any of these talks to be, ukraine may take place only in case they take into account. they are based on the real situation right now on the ground and not on any pre determined preconditions . as it is done by the great site, we want the ukrainian or armed forces to stop bonding the see different villages over the regions which i now named because the great armed forces, since 2014 seems they could be taught in the great continue to try to restore the territorial integrity of ukraine by using military force. and now we
8:18 pm

a lot of these companies are showcasing how the mess of us will transform the worlds of work, play, socializing, gaming, even travel. and that's interesting for the consumer. for, for the industry, it's the industrial met of us that's causing a lot of buzz. what that is is creating a digital twin factories, cities, transportation hub online grid. the idea being that any issues that arise can be fixed in the digital realm. increasing productivity and production, that's the transformation will affect everyone what will be behind the scenes. one of the largest climate change experiments on the planets has underway in the us state of minnesota. we search as there have been stimulating global warming. john hampton reports from minnesota. deep in northern minnesota is snow covered chippewa
8:26 pm
national forest. there is a kind of time machine. stephen sebastian's job is to peer into the future. it really is a world class research facility for understanding the effects of what we expect to happen in the future. within the forest lies a plot of government land called the marcell experimental forest, where the us forest service in oregon national laboratories have built 10 silo like structures inside researchers raise the temperature from 0 to 9 degrees celsius to simulate different levels of global warming. half the chambers also add varying levels of carbon monoxide to mimic expected future increases of the greenhouse gas from human activity. then they watch what happens. it's not encouraging. the trees are not doing as well as they're doing in the and warming closures. some of them are actually dying from the conditions that are too harsh to harsh for those trees to continue to grow. that's not as bad for the trees. minnesota lies at the southern end of

a peat belt that stretches into the arctic its frozen cover trapping. 12000 years and plant build ups into the glaciers of melted p is this like spongy, awesome soil substance. that can be thousands of years old. slowly, slowly decomposing. or as we think about climate change, basically storing carbon, storing that carbon is an important job, is ground is covered in p plant material that goes down for meters. pete covers about 3 percent of the world's land surface, but it stores a 3rd to half of the soil carbon in the world. so as temperatures go up, it goes from being a store of carbon to release or that just makes. ready world hotter, faster inside the enclosures, it's already happening. we are seen essentially the worst case scenario. we're seeing what we expected, but it's real. you do
8:28 pm
a little bit of warming and it starts to destabilize the system. the experiment suggests that if global temperatures rise just a few degrees more enough to begin melting the world's pete land. decomposing, pete could eventually release more greenhouse gases than they store accelerating climate change. in setting off a vicious cycle of global warming, john henderson al jazeera, the marcel experimental forest in minnesota. that sent for me. laura kyle inside story is up next. ah fall i we've got a little band of re making his way across sarabia potentially. i even saw a few spots of rain here early on monday in doha. i think over the next couple of days caught rude out the possibility of a little bit of wet weather. but the wet weather is on the other side of the gulf, pushing across iran, easing over towards afghanistan,

snow on the northern flank of that similar picture to go on through where to stay. but notice cloud could be thick enough to produce some heavier burst of rain into central and western parts of saudi arabia. at that time, warm sunshine in doha by then 28 degrees celsius and that warmth extends a fair bit further north. actually baghdad of around $29.00 degrees even on crack at around 18 degrees is around 10 degrees above the seasonal average thanks to a southerly wind, which will lift temperatures in cairo to around $31.00 celsius. that brisk serrato pushing dust the sand into that eastern side of the mediterranean. warm enough in ben garza, some showers are just round northern parts of morocco. still a few showers just around coastal fringes of west africa. lagos could see a shower or 2 showers to longest spells of rain, they are lingering there, stuck there across central and southern parts of mozambie. from what was tropical cyclone freddie said tuesday to wet day. where does days a wet day and so's thursday,
