for so long medical authorities say the current wave will continue rising into next week. for those still healthy, the rule is keep out of each other's way. us be generous practicing their balancing skills on a frozen river in the middle of the city. after 3 years, a constant restrictions on freedom, many are still strangers to the new situation of ha, ha ha. we're afraid of the virus, especially because we have a child. we don't want him to get too close to any one and we really go out. many chinese are struggling with the government's messaging until recently, officials issued regular warnings about the virus. now suddenly, it's not supposed to be so bad to pick one. it's a challenge with the core problem. people are making themselves afraid. in recent years, the government has had good intentions, but exaggerated the danger of virus. awkward. normal life outside seems to be returning. the streets are busier,

but saw 2 other hospitals. as the rapid spread of the virus mix its mark on the health care system. staff are completely unprepared at this emergency room in b ging, it's over flowing and over loaded in the corridors. the deceased lie on hospital beds on the floor. a completely exhausted elderly lady. she has covered according to her relatives outside. someone brought his 80 year old parents here. oh, we've had a check up and were waiting for the results. know if had a fever for a week, the temperature goes up and down all her. since the end of the 0 corbett policy official death, tolls have been hard to come by. but in front of the crime atoria, there are long lines with houses. we can only briefly take pictures with the smartphone. police are on guard everywhere. employees of the crematorium,

reports emerging from china with, as you said in the record, 1500000000 versus vastly underestimated or naive to the buyers with the most public health measures to continue with the holiday season with dozens of hundreds of millions of chinese. going to trevor in the next week this, this is indeed concerning. it should other countries outside of china be worried about possible spill over a fax says the virus rips through the countries. huge population. there would travel bands make sense? what is so concerning this moment is the, the non immunization, low grade vaccination in the 4 countries are receiving travelers from china.

and they are rules depends very much on the level of immunization, new population. and so i would not expect a spillover. so in those countries, you're talking about immunization, there would access to more and different vaccines make a difference for china's population. at this point we've, we've, we've seen the maze that is that the best immunization is based on getting the different vaccines ahead to roger immunization stages. and this is what is lacking in the chinese population. so i've seen the activity for the past month would have been. busy according to advantage now, but no time is very,

very short to change through new nation. by to 1000000 gap blood epidemiologist, berlin's shy hospital. thank you so much room. take a look at a few other stories making headlines around the world today. the panel investigating the attack on the u. s. capital has released its final report. the congressional committee found for president donald trump criminally engaged in a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election i. the panel has asked our justice department to prosecute on for alleged crimes, including aiding insurrection. false us judge has released sam bank mon fried on a $250000000.00 bond. he's facing fraud charges of the collapse of the f t x. crypto currency exchange found. prosecutors accuse him of stealing billions of dollars from customers. this holiday season is

a struggle for ukrainians. russian air strikes have cut power, disrupted water supplies, and knocked out heating and the war has broken up. families sending millions abroad and many to the front line, t w's maxed sand up, met up with a family in kia, enjoying an unexpected christmas gift. a bit of a holiday spirit. and a break from the war. you will, you brought her kids keeta and daddy to keeps only christmas for it's her 5 year olds, 1st time on the ice and brings back memories of her own childhood. when it, when i lived in russia, in barsh court huston, very often the entire street was frozen. and we used to escape very often that i'm under the lot but um did you like it? that was yes, it was scary. the okay. now it the 3 then pay a visit to santa's village,

tens of thousands of families have lost their loved ones with soldiers and civilian just as good. it is impossible to relax completely on your printer, but it is good for the kids to see that there is not only evil in this world, but also good law. yet there are things to live for, was it that there is a desire to make this a holiday. my son, we put up a christmas tree and we are going to celebrate. anyway, she tries to comfort them as best she can, but she doesn't hide any thing. the children know what war means and what their father does on the frontline. i am really worried. he is a medic and i think he knows how to deal with bleeding. so, but if he has a bigger wound, as well as another person who is injured, he will try to rescue the other person and not himself. of course you said it in, in there without the incident in on this event. it's time to go home. in the dark, there is no power and time to see dad exceptionally back from the front

for a routine medical checkup the elevators out. so it's walk up 16 floors to see him. to be thorough as just back from the hospital. there's been a small christmas miracle. he's found out. he won't have to return to the front line right away. lebanon quizlet is the last 4 moves. men say her. for me every christmas, especially because the children are growing each year am a man thaws with their changing and it's the moment you can see the changes in life how the year passed by us. but at the christmas and new year's are kind of summary of the year. that is one that you can see what kind of father you were, the kids i knew and what kind of situation your family was in the emotional up with the, with the son that they came to bicycle moves. i li, jacqueline, of spelling of dania. right now. it's a family reunited by surprise for

a war time christmas. one, they are determined to make as memorable and meaningful. oh, as they can come. earlier i spoke to kiera roodick. she is a member of the ukrainian parliament and heads the opposition holiday party. i asked her how her country is holding up after 10 months of war. hello, thank you so much for having me. as you see, no matter how hard it is right now, without electricity, without the heating, without the running water and wisconsin to iraq. attacks out we are holding up, we are pushing, put his 1st is back and we are doing things that nobody believed we would do at the very beginning of the full scale invasion. this 10 months have been incredibly hard on our people. however, there were so many sinks that sought to be impossible and became possible starting

from key if standing out for more than $23.00 days, and put in a set it up to be conquered at 2nd with us having their candidacy to european union something that were critic said, did not believe would happen. of course, nobody believed that we were capable of pushing russia back and taking cities like hair san to. 9 ah, to be back to ukraine and right now, oh the, the year is ending was president speech to congress, and you're talking to the president biden. so no matter how hard we are motivated and plan to win the war next year. else breaking news coming in at least one person has been killed and several others injured. following a shooting in paris, a police, i suspect, has already been arrested. we're seeing some live pictures now from the scene of french media reporting that the shooting took place at

a kurdish cultural center in the cities 10th. our and our small course will bring you more details on their story as they become available. now german authorities say they have arrested an employee of the foreign intelligence service on suspicion of sharing state secrets with russia. police arrested the mail suspect in berlin on wednesday. according to the prosecutor's office, he's being held on suspicion of treason. he's accused of taking sensitive information from his work and sharing it with a russian intelligence ages. this is what germany's justice minister had to say about it on twitter. congratulations to the federal prosecutor on the rest, on the arrest of a suspected spy. if the suspicion is confirmed, an important blow against russian espionage has been struck here. this shows how vigilant we must be. earlier i asked the w political correspond

husband, how this alleged breach was detected and what sort of information if any, was compromised? well, the surprising thing is that it wasn't covered by the not convinced by the foreign intelligence service itself through its own internal controls. what we have behind me here is the headquarters of that foreign service, which is in fact reputed to be the biggest office building in the hall of berlin. so they themselves seem to have internal controls and had suspicions that were confirmed and then passed as onto the prosecutor. as far as the information that is concerned is concerned that was passed onto the rations reputedly, we know nothing at all about that. the authorities are keeping very quiet about it, know that the person that makes it is a german citizen, but that's as far as it goes. we don't know what he has been working on. we don't know what russian intelligence service he may have been in contact with. the policy

say that all of this needs to be kept secret, says that the further investigations jeopardize to buy information leaking to the opposite side. why this case say about russian german relations? yes, so the russian, german relations have been deteriorating and quite significant the quite a while essentially, also in the field of the knowledge, there was an assassination of what the russians call the right by from the russian secret service. a military secret service right here in berlin in the middle of but then just a couple years ago, the alleged hassan is in jail here. and then the opposition politician alex saying of any when he was poisoned in russia, he was slow here to germany to a hospital. that's a couple of blocks away from here where he was treated and healed. so the germans have been very much critical of russian authorities,

obviously been supporting ukraine. so russian, german relations really are deteriorating or not in a good state. and the result is to be expected that they will be spying probably on both sides of things. russia invaded ukraine 10 months ago. hines, moscow has been seen as a clear security threat for europe. do authorities believe that the kremlin has stepped up, its spying in germany during that time? have to do the internal intelligence service here in germany. the head of that said, recently that the level of spying the intensity of spying is probably comparable to the time of the cold war when this was the major friendship between the east and west, between the communist world and the western world. and possibly even worse than that, there's a lot of spying going on in this, what's called the capital off spying and the world. but one has to say, obviously, not only 5 from russia,

they are western spies here in germany that are probably also tied together intelligent. it's something that is being done by all sides when the funds. thank you very much. our political correspond husband's and now a couple of other stories making news headlines today. a wildfire in central chile is threatening the coastal city of vineyard. del mar, i better say the place is out of control and that residential areas are being evacuated in ongoing heat wave in the country has contributed to a recent spate of forest. japan remains in the grip of severe snowstorms which weather officials say are intensifying across the country. wind gusts of more than a 110 kilometers an hour in some parts have also made conditions hazardous and have blown down our lawns. fresher is growing all ru wanda, with france and germany now openly accusing the country of backing armed rebels in

the democratic republic of congo. un report has said there was solid evidence of rwanda supporting the m $23.00 group, which is accused of massacring civilians in congo. multiple armed groups have been fighting for control of congos, mineral rich north keeping providence and its capital city. goma efforts at peace talks yielded the pledge from the co route, the group to withdraw from a key city. but few concrete results so far. nearly 400000 people have been displaced in years of fighting no lithia, the mask and her children have escaped death. a month ago when m. 23 rebels stormed her village in eastern congo, she fled to this camp for internally displaced people. while while i am my husband died during this war, and i couldn't even see his body or bury him because of the fighting with this or

that they're not ill to mick me. and then also i lost my child, did a v. yoletta about one of her 6 children was shot dead while escaping the fighting . now with him, a saca is worried about the health of her other children aid organizations or warning of a surgeon cholera cases inside the camps. by c y a bad thought on our know the health of my children is not good. we'll go by now by diving. there are timeless when they don't get anything to eat, as i would like young because i can't find work out. but that one that i job that's our life here at the moment up america. but even after finding refuge here, people don't feel safe salaam. acellus dean says the danger from rebels is always present up a minima desert. i've been in this camp for 2 months now. we leave the camp mainly to search for food. that's when i was shot in the arm,

but the m 23 rebels re emerged late last year, claiming the congolese government had failed to honor pledges made in a ceasefire. dio, they have since surged across north kiva province. and the violence has displaced hundreds of thousands of people. the congolese government accuses its neighbor rwanda of backing the m 23. rwanda strongly denies those claims, but it's also a view shared by the u. n. u. s. and france among others, or men, leper. so sooner when the pressure has been put on rwanda, but we believe that pressure alone is not enough. sanctions are needed, not pressure if it's possible to sanction, or one or for what it is done. that would be a good thing for their english was the latest diplomatic efforts have failed to stop the fighting. like many other displaced people suffering in this conflict. all sim, asako wants is peace. but yeah, boy, will we hope to return to our home with our children, my mother,

and restart our life blends and we just want our life back as it was before it in your own. b. e. n is the one i fresh piece talks between the congolese government and the rebels are set for the end of january. but with both sides, seemingly entrenched observers are not optimistic. and the longer the conflict drags on the worse, the humanitarian crisis. now to the us and severe weather warnings for millions of americans. a huge winter storm is moving across the united states. freezing arctic air is bringing blizzards and icy winds to much of the country, and that in the middle of the busy christmas travel rush. this if been quite a once in a generation storm, the threat of heavy snow ice and dangerous t. hi,
