he's announced a new gun, most white wing coalition, in the country's history prostitute to the curb is not paid to limit the china's latest public and risk forced them to roll back st. 0 cove admissions recently. but now in fictions aspirant ah, i'm anthony hard walking to the program. you trying to be president vladimir lensky has used a surprise visit to washington to thank americans for their support. calling it crucial in these countries, fought against russia's invasion in a speech to you as lawmakers, zalinski said, no country could be a neutral bystander, and that russia must be defeated. he predicted. next g would be a turning point. it's the crime presidents, 1st trip abroad since the start of the bull. president zalinski was given the red

carpet treatment as he arrived at the white house greeted like an old friend by his u. s. counterpart joe biden. they've spoken many times on the phone, but this was their 1st face to face meeting is the start of the war in ukraine with lots to discuss there. in the oval office, another show of solidarity, a mutual praise from both lead us women continue, strategy crazy building defense. so particularly care defense. and that's why we're going to be providing you credit with patriot missile bad credit. people continued as far as the world. i mean, seriously, i just as far husband as far world with their courage and how are you chose to resilience and resolve in the future. thank you so much use. of course, thanks. my bosses for thanks. congress and thanks for

mom. just ordinarily bowled to your wondering people americans laid down the president of the united states and the president of you. great. they space it is an important one for both presidents. mister zalinski came to washington with a wish list with military hardware right at the top for joe biden. it was a chance to send a strong signal to russia to the us is in it for the long term, not as stages committed to ensuring that the brave ukrainian people can continue, continue to defend their country against russian aggressions. as long as it takes next step for the ukranian presidents, a speech to a read joint session of the u. s. congress entering the house to a heroes welcome. he delivered a christmas appeal to the hearts and minds of america. we do not judge and

compare whose life is easier, your well being is the product of your national security. the result of your struggle for independence and your many victorious we. ukrainians will also go through our war of independence and freedom, with dignity and success, followed him. is lensky know, support like this in washington? will be vital in the months or years of fighting ahead. but it's not guaranteed. some republicans are concerned about the billions being given to ukraine and when they take control of the house next year, all could change. so how was the lensky is addressed to the u. s. congress received back home in ukraine? that's what i asked. a double is a manual shots in chief. ah, well, i thing, anthony, people refer surprised that one of them is the lensky would leave the country

because he had said at time and again that he will not leave ukraine unless russia was defeated. and so far, it's still not the case, but they also very much understand a de need for such a visit. the need to for dialogue and director at meeting with the u. s. president joe biden, because the u. s. has been at ukraine's are a 1st and main provider when he comes to financial support. so there's a lot of understanding are there for this trip and of course a lot of support for their president wealth. more on this. let's bring in thomasville. behind his, the trans atlantic spokesperson for the biggest opposition group in the german parliament, the city you see if you good morning to you, mr. so boy, was it right for a lot of miss zalinski to go to the u. s. a. not somewhere in europe on his 1st foreign trip since the war began. well, this was a mighty patient. she is only

a grain, but for being tired. when we asked you repeat that, don't going in now and even our simple as what has come out of that is the us will seen the one patriot missile defense system. but so lensky said he wants more should germany, st. patriots to now and germany so far decided to systems to problems, but indeed is new announcement. the president biden, to a fence system directly to the ukraine should be taken for reconsideration. jones, i se, sending systems from germany directly for that . thank you for the support of the united states. more is needed to achieve victory

and 5 and responded to the year announcement that russia in germany, we have discussions over months now. russian may not. we. ukraine may not lose or better. we should go beyond this and say, russia has to be defeated. ukraine has 2 members for i think this is very to you now. we have to be on this point in germany. so it would be much, much more difficult, much more expensive, more for everybody in the ukraine for us. and that's why we have to this message, the ukraine method, cheese 3 and who wants to live in freedom should support as long as it takes the baby ukraine. yes, so until now you're paying latest were were hesitant to promise you crime more

advanced weapons. does this us decision, give europeans the license to be more generous? at 1st, the message shall barone. b u. s. congress is that there is a bi artisans, or in the united states is strong determination and unity. the united states congress shows here. it has also been teased in europe and in gym, and yes, the green needs not only more, also more effective weapon systems since in so explicitly mentioned tanks and planes that now the united states proceed in providing exams. this is inclusive capability to protest in particular cities and interest structure in the ukraine that in order to

regain occupied territory or the green. this requires horse mean dental tax and intention, citing vehicles. and also here, security has to be installed in step by step that these best and should be resolved in ordination with it. i think, united states, and that so far, we don't see the specific move of the united states in the specimens. i'm sure that the presidents since the end biden covered all the issues also. ok. german parliamentarian, thomasville, behind from the conservative party c. s u. thank you so much. and you israel's designated prime minister benjamin netanyahu has succeeded in forming a new right wing coalition government. he made the announcement of weeks of negotiations with religious and far right medical ha! at yahoo!

late his party to win the most seats in israel's november election. but needed coalition partners to govern at yahoo! with israel's longest serving prime minister recoil had the most right wing administration in israel's history. the coalition agreement includes plans for judicial and security reforms. critics fear the new alliance will so deep divisions in the country. benjamin vivian netanyahu may soon add a new chapter to his memoirs, published during the election campaign. israel's former prime minister is back, but this time netanyahu see at his return with the help of a controversial far right alliance. everything that always depends on this danielle cause. let on yo can be a reasonable prime minister even if you do not vote for him or not like him, he can run his, we're learned, he can run conflicts, he can do it. the question is his partners who are his partners?

and that's the problem. his partner city opened the ante are up and homophobic i to a nationalist village assigned as an alliance. it's leaders up. it's a lot, it's more twits. and each time i've been here been given here during the election campaign has been convicted for incitement. and bart, for military service, because of his extremist views from other blog debt to arabs. no, no, no. michelle. yoga, whoever wants to live here in peace island alone. rosalyn. but whoever is throwing mala tops whoever is killing children, killing women is a terrorist. miss. so what do we want? oh, that to terrorists, critics are concerned about the ultra nationalist religious agenda becoming mainstream and is ready politics and the verbal attacks on israel. it's are a minority among them elected members of israel's parliament,

the candidate forgetting me, attacking me in order to attack the whole or a and put a senior community. when he is saying diff thought arrest, he says this thought ups as he said before to pick 10 or 5 or 3 years. we are booking about very extreme and racist. a jewish politician party became the 3rd largest political force and the november 1st election. their strong showing has split the country if more i feel air, frankly scared and also disappointed. around 400000 people voted for the new theater and vienne, mostly chin that these 2 people have my final calling opinions. and that is personally also a vendor me as a, as a woman, the leftists in this country. and also as a and d v

t person. i think most people voted for ben, gives me or because of the security situation in israel. we really want the security to improve caution. i think people are longing for someone who does act and not only talks, milligram will seem. i personally know bank of year an issue. i was working in his law firm when he was a lawyer. i'm also a lawyer about his old slideshow they always do, and i can tell you that he's true to his words. what a good question we lost them you need to know is new government is likely to be one of the most right wing in israel's history. of more let's go to jerusalem, where they w rebecca, written is standing by 1st rebecca, this government is considered to be the most right wing israeli government ever. what will this mean for life in israel? yeah, that's right antonym, and this isn't the 1st, right? when government, of course, at israel's the same, but it is being done,

the most right wing with benjamin netanyahu is liqueurs party, the stalwart are right wing party. now sitting on the left flank of this coalition, and that of course is likely to bring in some pretty big changes full lives for the lives of israelis and palestinians. vote here in israel and in the west bank. and when you look at the talk about the big ticket items, you put the occupation and the situation with palestinians. you heard some of it in that report there this many of the new right wing leaders of the coalition late is in, within this new coalition, a pro annexation a very anti arab rhetoric. race is rhetoric, as you heard there in the report even towards connect it members and we're likely to see more of that. now. some of agreements have already been made in the lead up in the coalition talks and many more direct powers being given. now being promised when it comes to security, both within israel and the west bank and of course to the settlement policy. now we

are likely to see potentially an expansion of that settlement policy and settlements that were conceded formerly illegal under israeli law, even where likely to say them be legalized that's already been promised to the new coalition partisan. when you look inside israel itself, you've got very controversial laws that have already been already being talked about that are already being promised to be change. and this is what's known as the override law when it comes to the supreme court, giving the government more rights to overrule the supreme court, giving them almost free rain on power. we're talking about a country that doesn't have a constitution and it doesn't have a 2nd chamber of government that the supreme court is really one of the last checks on the government that potentially being scrapped as well. we're looking at a rollback of gay, right. some of the coalition partners looking to even one saying that the jerusalem gay pride will no longer be taking place. i want to look at re introducing conversion to therapy, things like that in a country that is considered quite liberal when it comes to gay rights. you've got conservative members of this coalition now wanting to roll back those rights also

when it comes to jews immigrating here, they're wanting to, to st. tightened those laws to, in adherence with strict judith jewish law. and button netanyahu has accused critics that their theme underwrite, that he is actually in control, that the coalition of joining him and that he's not joining the coalition and that no one need to worry because he's still in control. but of course that remains to be st. anthony: and so this is israel st government in less than 4 years briefly. how much hope is there that this one has any more stain? while i mean, how long is a piece of string, as is really hard to predict this government, this coalition of parties, deed when a pretty large majority, when it comes to recent israeli politics, they got 64 states they needed 61 to govern. so that is considered quite a big majority here, but whether or not benjamin netanyahu will be able to take together this, differing the differences in his coalition partners, and try and maintain also unity within his own liqueurs party. we've had some

liquid ministers expressing their discontent and you know, they potentially could lead the party. so he's got a little bit of a buffer there with the 64 states. but whether or not he's going to be able to hold everyone together, certainly remains to be seen rebecca burgess into bruce. thanks so much. his look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world now. authorities in the bahamas site disgraced crypto exchange found a sam bank, min fried has been extradited. the united states to face criminal charges. us prosecutors accused the f. t x founder of stealing billions from customer deposits to his associates have now pleaded guilty charges over the criptos exchanges collapse. germany has said its 1st batch of by and take for the 19 vaccines to china. for now, at least only german nations living in china will benefit if all as a deal between badging and berlin. china is otherwise sticking to its policy of

using only domestically produced faxes at kansas cove, in 19 cases are surging across china right now. until very recently, it had some of the toughest control measures in the world that ended when infection started to spread, despite strict controls leading to public anger. and even rare straight protests with many rules now relaxed experts, a warning hundreds of millions of people could soon be infected. at times china 0 call that policy looked like this empty streets and some of the world's largest cities like shanghai. here 28000000 people are nowhere to be seen. other times it looked like this with aggressive scenes in supermarkets and people desperate to grab some of the sparse food and supplies. i'm still available to the child waller . there were also containment camps. entire city blocks and neighborhoods locked up and barriers built to prevent free movement. china 0 covet rules were some of the

most strictly imposed anywhere. residents were repeatedly told 0 cove. it was the only way to keep them safe. george indian, we each and we must unswerving leave here to the principle of people 1st and life. first, the strategy of curbing imported cases and domestic resurgence is and the policy of dynamic 0 cove it found in. but then this fall cases began to spread rapidly despite the strict policies many chinese experienced for the 1st time someone close to them getting sick with cove it and as cases spiraled, so did public discontent. in late november, a rare showing of public descent erupted in multiple parts of china. oh, there were street demonstrations and even some called for present teaching ping to resign. their day. the kind of public outcry unheard of inside china. then 2 weeks later, a change of heart from the government,

the health department announced the loosening of 100 covey rules, holly footer. it just it how so she, our focus will be increasingly science based and targeted lucia, we should firmly correct oversimplification or a one size fits all approach and avoid taking excessive policy steps. even gamma on december 7th, china loosened measures, allowing home quarantine, reduce testing, and making it easier to travel. chinese authorities and state media largely ignored the protests and accusations that 0 cove had failed. instead, they've been insisting the relax policies are due to a weakened corona virus. but weakened or not, the infections have been spreading rapidly, creating fear and anxiety, and further disrupting and already fragile economy. experts warn china could soon be facing a peak of up to 800000000 cases in the country,

which they say could mean as many as one to 2000000 deaths in the coming year. are joining me now as kim mulholland he's in australian pediatrician and immunology just and an advisor to the world health organization on vaccines. welcome to you, professor. we hear reports of of chinese hospital struggling and primitive forums being overwhelmed. does that match the picture that you're hearing? well, we're hearing that from a number of sources. and the problem is it doesn't necessarily match with the data that we're saying. but i think that in general, the situation in china is moving very, very quickly. and my feeling is that we'll publish the official data showing large numbers fairly soon. so i think that is the reality. a large number of people have been infected and we can expect then either after a leg period, there are

a number of those, particularly the elderly people will be, will get into trouble and some of them will. many of them may die on china's particularly susceptible to this for a couple of reasons. one of them is that they have explanation, right amongst the elderly is relatively poor. and i think a 65 percent of people at the age of 18, for example, have had 2 doses of vaccine. and the other is that the, the vaccines that have been used as was pointed out earlier in this case, i have the chinese vaccines, particularly the evac ends in a farm. vaccines are probably relatively short in their protection. and after some months would leave people valuable. again, i have a slate, the della pro western professor, if you don't mind me interrupting that, china's using only these domestically produced vaccines to fight an enormous wife. do you think i can win this battle without outside help?

well, and what they need is outside vaccines because the vaccines that they're using are not going to work here. i mean, we've actually looked at the boosting of the 2 main chinese vaccines in the nation, mongolia and i can be boosted the individuals who are vaccinated with vaccines. can be boosted very effectively with the 5 vaccine, for example, or with other vaccines, but not with the chinese vaccines, which don't actually boost very well. so i wanted very strongly advise chinese authorities to think again about the vaccination policies. some experts warn that with this virus out in that vast chinese population, the potential grows for mutations and the variance. do you share that concern? is on the, the, we've had, i'm a call now for 12 months. and of course, it's got lots of lots of sub variance, so it's hard to say with one sub bear in another one begins and in fact,

what's circulating mostly in china now is being referred to as b. a 7. it's sort of behaves in a way like another parent and it's more infectious than the others, but actually a huge amount of circulation of the forest in a community without it being painted, which is in fact what happened in southern africa a year ago is the, the is the ideal photo grand, really for a new variance to emerge. so it's a, it's a problem for china, but it's also a problem for the world is physical mulholland in melbourne. australia thanks so much for your time. you're welcome. there yesterday was the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere winter solstice. and while most people wisely had nothing special plans, the egyptian city cities rather of luck. so had a unique way to mark the occasion,

a light show of thousands of years in the making. ah, spectacular vista, a cheesy soundtrack, stages set forth tourist highlights. hundreds gathered early at the temple of conduct in the egyptian city of looks or to witness their very special light show. during the winter solstice, sunrise, the lines with the axes of the temple to channel the light through the ancient structure. the annual spectacle left an impression on the visitors. it's special because you know, we came and this happened. it's just that it's sometimes everything just aligned, the universe makes things happen on and they say the stars the line. in this case, the sun aligns for us perfectly. so is wonderful, these and exit amazing experience. we came from a kyra away, we saw the pyramids and the museum, and now all the temples, carnac 2,

and this morning, the sunrise. it's just overwhelming and cannot comprehend in ancient egypt, how they managed to build all of this spiritual experience for some in a place built for worship thousands of years ago that report obviously from the city of luck. so under some sport now in sweden's sandra nozzler sewed while she is the greatest sky cross competitor of all time at the freestyle woke up in italy on wednesday. the be champion, edged out and switch. bravo! funny smith from the big funnel at his catch golden. all for world cup of in so far this season. earlier this month, the 26 year old. my history by top in the will help hudden with each 30 is to staff. before we go, i remind to of the top story we're following for you to sell economy president. a
