spoiling through the coast, tamara and her colleagues at the school for people's with special needs, wants a pe royce that meets the rising cost of living and keeps people in the profession . will these teachers are making sure that jamal and so i heard on what is clearly a sizable demonstration, there are a number of industrial action taking in various parts of the economy, calling on the government to pay arises that meet inflation if there's no movement . so pay, we're likely to be seeing more protests look just from people like tomorrow, but workers in other key professions who enjoyed growth support from the public. ah, jewel visits china's president is in moscow and while japan's prime minister visits keep ah,

hello there, i'm associate a and this is al jazeera life from door ha. also coming up, trailing has economic crisis from protests to a bailout, wherein colombo, with reaction to a net 3000000000 dollar loan from the i, m. f. outrage and criticism off to israel's finance minister states. there's no such thing as a palestinian and an invasion without a plan. and we look at the u. s. decision to disband rocks army and the impact it's had now to the headphone. ah, for right now, the leaders of 2 of asians largest economies visiting rival capitals and the war in ukraine, chinese president, she's in being as how talks with russia prime minister mccallum issues and on day to day of his visit to moscow. although geisha, china values the friendship between char in russia,

this has historical logic because we are makers and to large countries. we are also strategic partners. such a position determines that we have a very close relationship. our last month you are called china presented a piece plan to end the war in ukraine. present value in prisons as russia is open to discussing china's proposal. is a social approval as really mean we have considered your proposals for settlement of the current crisis. of course, we will have an opportunity to discuss this. we know that you are basing this on principle of furnace and upholding the principle of the international law and divisible security for all countries. you also know that we're always open to negotiations. we'll discuss all this issues, including your initiative. i'm in law, the japanese prime minister for me. ok cedar is in here. send me it president vladimir zalinski. it's casey as a fast trip to ukraine since russia invaders a year ago. well will speak to katrina. you in beijing in just a moment, but 1st let's bring an journalist, you'll hear some people over from moscow. julie, can you talk her through?

what's on the cards there for day to right. we know our best point is that president, she has much worth russia's prime minister, me hold michoud to not be household. the government, which was right behind me and they discussed the new troll partnership and various projects like the development of the trans siberian and trans asian re weighs. we are expecting vladimir putin and president. she will hold official talks at the grand club in palace and about an hour or so, and they will be joined by members or big su delegations, the policies will discuss and a j military technical corporation, trade and economic corporation. by the way, many experts believe that the close part of yesterday's informal meeting, the one on one meeting between the leaders that actually took place late monday afternoon and last 4 and a half hours. that was amazing, where at some confidential things or presumably said, and it is considered to be more important than what is going to follow today. and

the result of that monday meeting would predetermine, i should say, today's agenda, and in general, all the future. a russian chinese corporation julissa purple over there with all the latest from us, from that visit in moscow. thank you you leah? well, let's now get that perspective from china. katrina, you joins us from beijing katrina. this is a little bit of a boon there for president. she's diplomatic credentials surely. well certainly, that's the way they jean caesars, according to china. she didn't thing is in russia acting as an envoy, piece the global statesman. they're doing what he can to end, the war crane, and certainly trying to promote dialogue between the 2 sides. now, if she is successful, bringing lensky and fruit and back to the negotiating table, that would certainly be major when, who she knows she is trying to capitalize on the momentum built by the successful

pew. he's deal that was broken by beijing between saudi arabia and ron earlier this month now says that it is an impartial policy in this conflict. but there have been questions raised about the extent of its neutrality and for good reason. because we have seen ties between staging and moscow deep and since the invasion of ukraine we seen, for example, escalating joint military drills. we've also seen beijing and russian trade sol, it's now worth about $190000000000.00. and that has sold about 30 percent since russia's invasion of rain, and a lot of that is cheap oil and gas that gauging buys from russia. now the biggest skeptic here about a she's visit is of course the united states and washington has released a statement of warning the world about a potential piece plan. that baiting might also say, saying that it's only going to freeze russian gains in ukraine already. washington has also accused china's considering providing military aid to russia's war efforts, something that china has denied. but unfortunately for the ding the united states

is not the only skeptic care european countries are also skeptical about. she's ability to do much to really move the needle when it comes to ending the wooden crane. and can the pulse is also watching very closely. they have said that they are cautiously receptive to any role that china might play in a negotiation between the 2 sides. as long as that role includes a piece deal that includes a force with all of russian troops, many occupied ukrainian territory. we'll see how that all plays out in the coming weeks and months. katrina, you there for us in beijing. thanks so much. katrina. now moving on an sri lanka will receive an almost $3000000000.00 bail out from the international monetary fund . part of efforts to try to rescue its battered economy, colombo will receive the funds over the next 4 years that the 1st installment of $330000000.00 is expected within the next 2 days. to longer as facing its west economic crisis and decades. mass protests against skyrocketing inflation and

shortages of basic goods even forced the president from office last year. we are low level irv thought. we were with the 3 law drawer. i am happy that we got the loan because the people in the country are living very difficult times. we hope there will be a real wakening the environment. now when they go good, we got it. it must be spent to solve the country's problems. if they steal that to you, then we will lose again. if they reduce the price of fuel and food items and give people some relief, it's good luck all in a televised national address. after the approval of that, i am afraid present, running vicar, missing us, said that his country was no longer a bankrupt nation. and our fernandez has more from colombo. people have been waiting and waiting for months upon months to look for some form of respite. and they're hoping that this money that the loan approved by the i m f, will make some kind of a difference to their lives. obviously, 330000000 to be uh, sort of transferred in the next 2 days. they hope that as the government says,

a will kind of ease the pressure. now this means that the government is going to have this additional funding to secure, essential, fair supplies, like the present on a vicar. missing her, a right after the approval speaking to the nation today and said that she like is no longer bankrupt. nation that this 1st tranche of money will be used to secure medicines to help the tourism sector and things like that. so what people are hoping is that things like inflation that the sort of galloping exchange rate to the dollar a will be brought down and that we bring things to a slightly more affordable basis. but it's going to be a long road ahead. all israel's finance minister has sparked backlash after saying there's no such thing as the palestinian people at a conference in paris on sunday. basil al smarter. i could describe palestinians as an invention of the past century. oh, there's no such thing as

a palestinian. there's no such things of palestinian people who do you know who's palestinian? i am palestinian. ah ah, my late grandfather whose 13th generation of jerusalem might. is the true palestinian. oh wow. ah the palestinian people on invention that is less than a 100 years old. for the ears foreign policy to you for as a barrel has urged israel to reject that statement. and the palestinian prime as prime minister says the comments are an incitement of violence in not possibly how to look the idler behind was utilized lady the statements made by the israeli minister. smart rick saying that there is no palestinian people. and that it was invented in the last 100 years is conclusive evidence of the extremist racist zionist ideology that governs the parties of the current israeli government. no, no levine, i'll play marley. philistine is maha. we are the ones who gave palestine his name

and the land, its value and status of this land is ours. and israel is a colonial state established by the colonialists and settlers, and it expanded like any settler colonialism. mrs. 8th, i'm on con, has more now from western chrislynn the far right in israel. i've always said this type of thing. it goes back to go to my air, or the as rarely prime minister 969. she said she used to say that there was no such thing as the palestinians. this, despite the fact that the 1st recorded use of the term palestine was 3200 years ago during the bronze age on the line between the jordan river. and the mediterranean sea has always been referred to as a palestine all the way up until the establishment of the state of israel, in 1948. if that hadn't happened, it still be called palestine. but the far, i have always said that there has been no state of palestine, and that's partly true because of the, an occupations that the land has actually been under, much recently, or by the british in 1948. so these comments are inflammatory,

they're designed to really are rochester intentions, but they're also designed to play to small churches base, which completely agrees with the kinds of things he say. and now benjamin netanyahu through a tweet, her said, now is not the time to go to the us, meet with prison boy. so he's actually on the back foot. now he's trying to defend his decision not to visit. but the simple fact of the matter is, according to state, home officials is that the simply isn't the invite there. now the warring sides in yemen, odd, usually nearly $900.00 detainees. and a prisoner struck down the internationally recognized government and who the rebels agreed on the exchange. as part of the u. n. mediator deal reached back in 2018. it's unclear how many prisoners are still being held that the number is thought to be in the thousands. now the conflict in yemen is widely seen as a proxy war between saudi arabia and iran. you restore diplomatic relations this month. we have a level of trust with all the parties involved in this release. we have

this unique partnership with the un in yemen. and i have no reason to believe that it will be a success and a success which needs to happen as soon as possible, because we all know that my dad is coming, and i think we can't lose a single day to have those detainees united to families, who gerald firestone as a former us ambassador to yellen, and he says this prison release could be an important step and efforts to end the conflict i. it will be a morale booster for our many emmys around around the country. and so our, from that aspect is a, it's a positive sign, any time that you're releasing your detainees as a, as a good thing. the key of course, will be the implementation because we've seen are these agreements struck in the past or that have not been fully implemented? any resolution, any progress in establishing a comprehensive end to the conflict?

or really requires agreement among the emmys themselves. a lot of people are looking at the saudi iranian agreement, as of perhaps an important step. either saudi arabian, the, who these have been talking of for some time and there have been some progress there. but those things are not critical. i to resolving the real meat of the matter, which is the i, the disagreement among the yemenis themselves about the way forward for their country. if the iranians indeed are willing to add their voice to those in the international community that are urging booties to and this conflict, and to come back to negotiating table with the internationally recognized government, that's a positive thing about the who does have also been very clear and saying that they are not bound by any obligation that they owe to the iranians duties will make

their own decisions. and up until now or they have not been willing to make the decision. i to i to resolve the conflict and establish a negotiated solution. hostile had here amount as hell for me as president donald trump teeth as legal shuttle as the new york district attorney and of the alleged person. my next case push to get green is feeling a riff with me. life willing aspect is ah, from the al jazeera london broke our sentence to people in thoughtful conversation are to cannot be erased by, by the superpower with no host. and no limitation. what mattered in all to was to be radical. how can the thing that's radical would be for say,

ah ah, are they watching al jazeera? i'm this tells you, hey, here in durham, let's remind you about top stories. japanese prime minister for me. okay, should i has arrived in keith to meet ukrainian president vladimir lensky. it's keisha does 1st trip to ukraine, since russia invaded a year ago. now, while this comes, as chinese leader, she's in being is in moscow meeting with russia's president vladimir person and prime minister anyhow, mister system. she has invited them for a return visit to china later this yet. and sri lanka, president says the country is no longer bankruptcy. after the international monetary fund agreed and the at $3000000000.00 bailout, colombo is set to receive the 1st installment within the next 2 days. now to

decades on many iraqis are still criticizing how the united states invaded the country without a plan. among what they say were failures was the decision to disband the iraqi army. our lot has changed, including the rise and fall of security forces, as well as the emergence of new threats. a warning, a salvage of aids report from baghdad does contain some disturbing images. in the battle of iraq, the united states and our allies have prevailed. the iraqi army essentially was dissolved either they were children. they've gone back a back to their homes. one of the 1st decisions the us led forces made after invading iraq was to defend the country military, which used to be one of the largest in the middle east. 20 years later, the country is still dealing with the repercussions. one former commander of the re, constituted forces, believe law, it was a calculated move. as for carol, a leader, it was the worst decision. it led to the destruction of

a rock. we are paying its price until now. i think the decision was deliberate. a lack of force is enabled months of robbery. the rashid military camp was the biggest in the middle east and there was an estimate of theft of 810000000 weapons, such as the one that by model further were formed. in part of this, us led coalition forces and demanded their withdrawal. sectarian fighting between cheers and sundays was one of the results. it killed tens of thousands of people. the chaos lead to the rise of armed groups such as al, either an iso and the newly formed army fled when i sell fighters to mosul, iraq 2nd city only to later unify. but she, a militias at the forefront to liberate almost 40 percent of the country now took on iraq. are they have ever been? was toa, one of the biggest problems was the relation between security forces and citizens. now iraqi security forces sol, loyalty is for iraq and the military enterprise, regardless of their sectarian ethnic or tribal affiliation. these an international

coalition comprising more than 80 nations, has helped it off to rebuild its armed forces and counter threats from armed groups . the international coalition, which came together to fight against, i think, has taken a much smaller advisory role. now, as the rocking forces say they are confident that they can defend their own homeland. but questions remain about the powerful, malicious and sectarian forces. 20 years on the threats have evolved. don't check in without any doubt. the biggest challenge in iraq, his drugs were trying to eradicate the rising drug trade. then this a challenge of electronic, unorganized crime. terrorism now comes 3rd or 4th, after the development of our security forces on the retreat of the terrorist groups . or what in the battery threats have changed and the forces protecting iraq have been rebuilt. but many people here say they still don't feel completely safe. we'll go from

a job without the 0 back that or after the invasion of iraq hood accolade less baghdad. and we settled and mosul and rebuilt her life there as a dairy farm owner. his story. i knew with alice where i was born in baghdad in 1991 and lived there until the full of the city in 2003. we moved to hammer the near in mosul. we had a normal life. i got married to a farmer and got accustomed to the lifestyle despite originally being a city girl. thank god, we lived peacefully after we left baghdad. as a christian minority, we feel we're always in the line of fire. then came 2014 and i fell, attacked ours, and took my father. we fled to her bill and then lived there for 3 years. we felt we were dead, all my sister's of left iraq to live abroad. my mother travelled with my elder brother, she couldn't stand losing her lifelong companion. how could she live without him? we lost faith in iraq. i told my mother that i would return home, but if i saw that everything was destroyed, i would not stay. when i went back,

i saw everything had been taken and my house had been burned down. i couldn't stand the situation. all i thought about was to leave with my husband and children. i just wanted to leave. i was afraid and it was not easy. i saw had already taken our house once as a housewife. how could i stay at home without my husband, who spends most of his time at the farm? we hardly see him now. how can i stay alone? but step by step, i began to rebuild my life and make it successful. the farm and the cattle with millions of dollars were all gone. we had to start from 0. first. i bought cows. i started with food that increased to 30 in the last 2 years. there's been no rain, so we had to sell some cows to buy fodder. now, i've 7 a ton of forgeries, about $700.00 and only lasts 2 weeks. the food and agricultural organisation of the united nation is supported me. it's encouraging. they support role women who are mostly voiceless in iraq. they supported and motivated ours,

and they're like one of us now. they taught as to produce a few types of cheese. they usually imported and now we're making them here. now i have my own dairy farm. i make a few dairy products. i'm thankful for the renewed hope which enabled us to return . there is no better place than your own homeland. i intended to leave, but now i have my own work place with 6 more women. they help me make the dairy products, and now deliver to baghdad and her bill. some of my childhood friends saw me producing dairy products, and they were so happy about how i have changed my life. iraq has a bright future, but those empower, don't know how to lead the country. this is our rack. there is no other place like it. those who govern us don't do it in the right way. i'm optimistic about the future. god willing, i will see my own children follow my success story. when police in new york are tightening security as a city, braces for possible criminal charges to be filed against donald trump. and in connection with alleged hush money paid to an adult film star stormy daniels by

transformer lawyer. gabriel. as under has more from new york. this is the center of the political world right now, at least here in the united states, where in this court house behind me here in new york city, there is a grand jury that we believe is in the final stages of making a decision if they will bring a criminal indictment against donald trump. if they do, it would mean trump is the 1st president ever in us history to face criminal prosecution. the manhattan district attorney has been investigating trump for several years. the case revolves around stormy daniels, a former adult film star, who claims she had an affair with trump and threatened to take her story public right before the 2016 election. knowing that the embarrassing claim could derail his presidential campaign. trump allegedly had his then fixer michael cohen kaye

daniels, $130000.00 to keep quiet. but as part of that payment, the grand jury is investigating if whether trump also falsified business records, which would be a felony. police and new york have stepped up security. trump denies all wrong doing, but his called for his supporters to take to the streets in protest should he be indicted as a potential indictment looms? media attention has increased if indicted trump would need to turn himself in. and the spectre of a former president walking into a court house to surrender to authorities is something that would have never been seen before in us history. it's important to point out that even if trump is indicted, it does not necessarily mean that he is guilty. if he's indicted, it would go to a jury trial and it would be those jurors that would ultimately decide if he's guilty or not guilty of the crimes. he is accused of. now if he is found guilty

during a later trial, the prison term could be up to 4 years in jail, but there is no mandatory prison required. and most independent analysts say it's highly unlikely that trump would ever serve any time in jail. for this case, gabriel is on to our new york now us climate and for john kerry is visiting mexico to look at ways that the country can speed up its transition to kane energy . but next goal of energy independence is flowing, move towards renewables. when no rough le reports from mexico city, mexico's president and this manuel lobbies over the lord wants his country to be energy independent. and i long abrupt cima. in the coming year, we will, which is gasoline, or over the road to fulfill his promise of energy self sufficiency,

president lopez over the world has doubled down on investments in domestic oil and gas production, favoring the country's state owned producers over foreign, private enterprise. when it comes to mexico's energy sector, this protectionist energy policy expert say, has come at the expense of a trade dispute between mexico and its north, their neighbors. hipaa area where the problem is rooted in deals made and the free trade agreement between the u. s. canada and mexico agreement specific to generating energy. critics, to see mexico's energy policies have also flowed progress on renewable energy, undermining north american energy integration and competitiveness for his part mexican president and manuel office over that order has pledged that 35 percent of all energy consumed in mexico will come from clean and renewable sources by the year 2024. earlier this year, president lopez over or announced the launch of a $1600000000.00 solar form in the sonora desert,

the largest of its kind in latin america. the president has also a else plans for 10 new industrial parks that will harness wind energy along mexico's trans is mc corridor. wall critic say president love is over those seemingly contradictory attitude. some have even called it double speak when it comes to fossil fuels, and renewable energy has put the country at an energy crossroads policy experts instead argue that pressure from the united states under the u. s. mexico, canada free trade agreement, or u. s. m. ca has force mexico to slowly open its doors to private investment. thus, the finish. all of this pressure is under private companies and the potential sanctions that could derive from all of this have led mexico to change course. a state though, current policies in mexico have prioritized energy independence nationally. experts warned that it's critical for mexico to look beyond its political disagreements with the u. s. and canada, for the sake of a more integrated north american energy market. one that can also meet the regions,
