has been arrested and a murder investigation is underway. the shooting happened at a kurdish community center in the cities 10 r and a small prosecutors are looking into possible racist elements to the attack or corresponded sonya found a car in paris gave me the latest update on this attack. i want to get straight across to our correspondent sonya, on a car in paris. a sonya, what more can you tell us about the shooting? will the shooting took place? not far from the god, the less station in the in northern paris? no, this is one of the main quaint stations of the city. that's where trains leave for the east and the area around it is really crowded and busy. a very lively with plenty of shops and restaurants and bars. and witnesses have been describing to the french media here, you know, really chaotic scenes and both of gunfire. another shooting, reportedly targeted a kurdish cultural center, but also a hairdresser, and a restaurant. the police are investigating the not the police have detained,

the suspects they've, they've recovered the weapon that was used to the shooting, the looking me or off that district has said that the suspect was among those injured in the shooting, hadn't, hasn't been taken to hospital and of frances interior, mister general, dead mamma. he's on his way to paris and is expected to visit the site of the shooting neat itself to do. and can you tell us more about the suspected shooter? what is known about him? was the audible to the french media shows see that the suspect is a 69 year old french national. now we have no clarity yet as to the motive or the target of that shooting. but the baddest prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into murder into manslaughter. and aggravated violence, and the prosecutor's office says that the suspect was known to the police, and in fact, he was arrested last december after reportedly attacking a migrant camp in paris with the sword. the french media have also been saying that the suspect was only released from jail just 10 days ago when he was under judicial

monitoring. so i think the questions that will be raised here now were you know, how a suspect to was under judicial civilians got access to weapon. i think that's one of the key questions that would be raised to, and it's, i think, important to point out that we still don't have a terrorism charge here. in this case the authority seamless in assessing it. the assessing the events of this morning to see whether, you know, the, the dental occurred would of a terrorist meeting, of course, on it, signing up on a car in paris with that developing story. thank you so much for reporting. let's go to china now where hospitals are overwhelmed with corona virus cases. after beijing abandoned district 0 coven policies it had upheld for so long medical authority say the current wave will continue rising into next week. china began dismantling it's locked down and testing regimes this month. a coming the last major country to move toward living with the virus. us, be generous practicing their balancing skills on a frozen river in the middle of the city. after 3 years of 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 child of the core problem. people are making themselves afraid. in recent years, the government has had good intentions, but exaggerated the danger of the virus. awkward. normal life out site seems to be returning. the streets are busier, but saw to are the hospitals. as the rapid spread of the virus makes its mark on the health care system, staff are completely unprepared at this emergency room and be ging it over flowing and overloaded 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. some one brought his 80 year old parents here. oh, we've had a check up and we're 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 or on guard everywhere. employees of the crematorium, tell us they are much busier than usual. the virus is spreading at a rapid pace. you can see that in the big cities, according to one epidemiologist missions, it may only take a month from the beginning to the end for that to occur with 6070 even 80 percent

of people being infected. so we know the oval timeline and this narrow window of opportunity to, to have actions. now that would save people's lives when officials have pledged to expand clinical capacities like here at the sports hall and to ramp up the vaccination rates among the elderly. many of them are still not adequately protected. according to scientists, only 3 injections of the chinese and activated vaccine offer protection against the severe course of the disease. well, a new report from the news agency bloomberg says chinese health officials believe almost 37000000 people may have been infected on a single day. this week i asked ruby long from national taiwan university. if she finds those numbers plausible, it's awful lot of number, but the issue about data coming from china is we're not sure whether these are accurate. but let me give you some estimations. like, for example,

in time when we have $23000000.00 population, now we're seeing 820000 cases per day of infection. and if you do the math turn, a 60 comes of population. so we are seen probably you should get 1200000 new cases each day. however, that seems that the chinese are using are not as effective as what we've been using a many other places. so you probably need to multiply, you know, the effectiveness in protecting the new section. so probably $37000000.00 per day is a bit exaggerating. i. how is not true? i'm, i'm thinking about why 5 or 6 millions per day probably is roughly the right number that we should be seeing. but again, this is a very challenging time for chinese authorities to come up with accurate data to

even to be given out to w to they mentioned those vaccines as are obviously one piece of the puzzle on how prepared otherwise do you think china was for these spiking case loads, i don't think they're prepared and i don't seem to have enough communication to the public to how to cope with this upcoming. wait, i think the other you turns and the record spread of birth is a shock for everybody. and that has reveal a tremendous challenging time for the front jaw health care system. so i think what needs to be moved forward is one to speed up the vaccination. try particularly to the elderly, the vulnerable so far, only 40 percent of those above 80 years old in china has received to this a least one booster dose, meaning feedback seals. and this is not enough. and 2nd,

do alleviate the burden of the health care for my as much as possible, which is to try out does severe cases away from the mild cases, encourage people to stay home for those low risk patients. and you know, they have very good public assistance, probably use the absence and to teach the possibly you know, what, under what circumstances they can stay at home and rest and recover and only come to the healthcare facility for those bonner ball with co morbidities where the hong from national tiwana university. thank you so much for sharing those insights with us. let's bring you up to speed. now with some other world news headlines, a car bomb has detonated in a residential area of the pakistani capital islamabad, killing a police officer and 2 militants suspected of carrying out the attack. the pakistani taliban has already claimed responsibility for the explosion,

which left 10 other people wounded. the panel investigating the attack on the u. s . capital has released its final report. the congressional committee found former president donald trump criminally engaged in a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election regular. the panel has asked the justice department to prosecute trauma for, for alleged crimes, including aiding insurrection. we knew that does. the chinese tech giant bite dance has admitted that employees of their video sharing platform take talk improperly, access data to track journalists. bite dance says the employees have now been fired, but the admission throws tick tock into the spotlight once again for can secure for security concerns. and it comes as the u. s. moves toward a vandals civil servants using the app. well this holiday season is a particularly difficult one in ukraine. russian air strikes have cut power, disrupted water supplies, and knocked out heeding the war,

has also broken up families, sending millions abroad and many to the front for one family. and key of this christmas has brought an unexpected christmas gift, or correspondent max tender reports. a beautiful holiday spirit. and the break you will, you brought her kids cuter and gaudy to keeps only christmas. it's for 5 year olds 1st time on the ice. it brings back memories of her own childhood. when it, when i lived in russia, in bars court toast on very often the entire street was frozen them. lieutenant, we used to skate very often that by monday to tell them to go to lunch, but always did you like it with us? yes, it was scary though because you know the 3 then pay a visit to santa's village, a recreation of the magic that takes place in the north pole with candles presence

. ah, and use a santa is always on his great throne. listening to the children's wishes. keeta and daddy's are different this year shorter and truth be told, impossible for santa to fulfill that i am a whole great victory for ukraine and a robot. okay. me on that victory to ukraine. i will not ask for anything else. christmas is different this year. for jojo christmas usually means spending time with family visiting her parents and in los celebrating and unwinding this year, millions of fled. the country are displaced or living under russian occupation. tens of thousands of families have lost their loved ones with soldiers and civilian

just as good. it is impossible to relax, completely understand, 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. listen to we put up the christmas tree and we are going to celebrate. anyway, she tries to comfort them as best she can, but she doesn't hide anything. the children know what war means and what their father does on the frontline, yahoo, i am really worried. he is emetic 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 boys inserted in the end. but there was an 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 through was 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, but this given the quote on that is the loss for moves because let's say a 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 it. but as if the christmas and new years are kind of summary of the year, that is one that he can see what kind of father you were kids i li, and what kind of situation your family was in the emotional up with the, with the son that they came to boot might come, moves ali a jacqueline of sullen 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 as they can. cooper. earlier i spoke to survey patio, half a former deputy minister of justice for european integration of ukraine, and i asked him how hopeful he is falling president zalinski trip to washington this week. i'm very hopeful. it's been a success. even some people would say triumph. ah, because this loser showed that there is an unwavering support to ukraine in the united states, a port in democratic and republican party. and there is a further commitment on your side to support your crate as long is necessary to win this war. and that's something that we all cheer up for here in ukraine because we are ready to fight, but we do need support of our allies to be able to continue doing that. and zalinski is also coming home with the promise of patriot missiles. how will these

he weapon systems impact the war? do you think? well, look, this, our defense missiles that, that should be helping to defend the cities, the tons of ukraine. ah, the civil infrastructure that has been targeted by russia. from our perspective, this should have been granted, you know, at the beginning of the war because it's not a sort of escalation. rather, the ability to protect our home. as you know right now, many citizen ukraine have no electricity, no heating, no water supply because of the russian tax, and of course, ukrainians continue supporting the army. this will not stop us from, from defending our country, but headed extra defense capabilities will definitely make our flight, ah, more effective and our lives better. we look at the support from washington, but looking at europe, do you think europe is doing enough to support ukraine?

well, we always think that more can be done. no more weapons can be provided, they should come quicker, more money should be spent on supporting the credit economy. so i think it's, it's an ongoing discussion and we have to be open about our needs, about how the money is spent. and i think it's important that zalinski said to the congress that the money that yes taxpayers are given to crime is not a charity. it's a good investment in a global security and defense of the free world. and i think we should frame the discussion of this way and have our open, you know, conversation with our european partners. and to make sure that the money they're provided are well spent on defending the whole of the european continent. and so do you think the landscape will then make an appearance at the you, ukraine, summit, ill be taking place this coming february? it's hard to say this was his 1st off visit abroad since the beginning of the war

to highlight the special partnership with ukraine and thank united states for the support that has been provided. on the way back. he visited the polish president and also in poland. once again, has been a very vocal supporter of ukraine and has provided everything that was necessary for, for, for ukrainian defense. so i think this will be definitely one of his priorities, but it will depend on many factors. it's very hard to tell right now. well, thank you so much for joining us on today. you news? at survey i to half a former deputy minister of justice for european integration of ukraine. thank you . while millions of americans are facing severe weather warnings as a huge winter storm moves across the united states, freezing arctic air is bringing blizzards and icey winds to much of the country. and that of course, as people rush to get home for the holidays. this is been
