5:02 pm
sonya found the car in paris gave me the latest update on this situation. when the shooting took place, not far from the god, the less station in the in northern paris. now this is one of the main queen stations of the city. that's where trains leave for the east. and the area around it is really crowded and busy very lightly. with plenty of shops and restaurants and bars and witnesses have been describing to the french media here, you know, really chaotic scenes and boasts of gunfire. another shooting, reportedly targeted a kurdish cultural center, but also a hairdresser, and a restaurant. the police are investigating that. now the police have detailed suspects they've, they've recovered the weapon that was used in the shooting. the looking me are off . that district has said that the suspect was among those injured in the shooting, hadn't, hasn't been taken to hospital and frances interior, mr. general deadman now he's on his way to paris and is expected to visit the site of the shooting later the self to them. and can you tell us more about the
5:03 pm
suspected shooter? what is known about him? with the both the french media heroes 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 by the 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, who was under judicial surveillance, got accessed or 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 authorities seamlessly assessing it the assessing the events of this morning to see whether the dental occurred would of
5:04 pm
a terrorist meeting of correspondence and yeah, on a car in paris with that developing story. thank you so much for reporting. the hospitals in china are overwhelmed with crone of virus cases. after beijing abandoned the strict 0 cove and policies it had upheld for so long article authority say the current wave will continue rising into next week. china began dismantling it's locked down and testing regimes this month. it coming the last major country to move toward living with the virus. 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 no 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,
5:05 pm
it's not supposed to be so bad to pick one. it's a challenge is 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 in b jing, 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 coven, according to her relatives, outside. some one brought his 8 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,
5:06 pm
the temperature goes up and down her. since the end of the 0 corbett policy official death tools have been hard to come by. but in front of the crim 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, tell us they are much busier than usual. the virus is spreading as a rapid pace. you can see that in the big cities, according to one epidemiologist, it may only take a month from the beginning to the end for that to occur. ah, with 6070 even 80 percent of people being infected. ah, so we know the oval timeline and that this narrow window of opportunity to, to have actions. now that would save people's lives. you too. thanks. officials have played to expand clinical capacities like here at the sports hall and to ramp up vaccination rates among the elderly. many of them are still not adequately
5:07 pm
protected. according to scientists, only 3 injections of the chinese inactivated vaccine offer protection against a severe course of the disease. but 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 hong from national taiwan university. if she finds those numbers to be 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 turn 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 times of population. so we are seen probably you should get 1200000 new cases each day. however,
5:08 pm
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 wave. i think the southern u turns,
5:09 pm
and the record spread of birth is a shock for everybody. and that has reveal a tremendous challenging tongue for the front jaw health care system. so i think what needs to be moved forward is one to speed up the vaccination drive, particularly to the elderly, the vulnerable so far, only 40 percent of those above 80 years old in china has received to 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,
5:10 pm
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 health care facility for those bonner ball with co morbidities ruby hong from national taiwan university. thank you so much for sharing those insights with us. let's bring you up to date now. it's mother world news headlines. a car bomb has detonated any residential area of the pakistani capital islam about 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. the panel has asked the justice department to prosecute trump for, for alleged crimes,

5:13 pm
impossible for santa to fulfill that in law whole great victory for ukraine and a robot. i me on the 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 flat the country are displaced or living under russian occupation. tens of thousands of families have lost their loved ones. with soldiers and civilians will 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 less than 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 anything. the children know what war means and what their
5:14 pm
father does on the frontline, yahoo, i am really worried. he is a medic and i think he knows how to deal with the leading saw. 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, but there's per se little dinner on this event. it's time to go home. in the dark there's 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 me throw is 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 given the causing that is the loss for moves because let's say a for me, every christmas,
5:15 pm
especially because the children are growing each year am a man thaws with a butter changing and it's the moment you can see the changes in life of how the year passed by us, but as the christmas and new years are a kind of summary of the year, that is one that you can see what kind of father you were kids. i me and what kind of situation your family was in the emotional multiple to with this and that they came to watch come moves ali a, jacqueline of southern 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 come. earlier i spoke to a survey, petty half the former jackie, the minister of justice for european integration of ukraine. and i asked him how hopeful he is following president zalinski trip to washington d. c, this week. i'm very hopeful. it's been
5:16 pm
a success. even some people would say triumph. ah, because this visit show that there is an unwavering support to do to ukraine in the united states are bought in brazil, aquatic and republican party. and there is a further commitment on your side to support you, craig, as long as necessary to win this war. and that's something that we all she are 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 to lensky is also coming home with the promise of patriot missiles. how will these he weapon systems impact the warranty thing? well look, this, our defense missiles that, that should be helping to defend the cities, the tons of ukraine, 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 sign of escalation. rather,
5:17 pm
the ability to protect our homes, our children, or families from indiscriminate showing by russia. and even when, when this system comes, i'm sure that will bolster the fans capacities all the ukraine and we'll make our lives better and safer. 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 have an 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
5:18 pm
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 up to experience 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? he'll be taking place this coming february. it's hard to say this was his 1st law 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
5:19 pm
way back. he visited the polish president and also in poland at once again has been very vocal supporter of ukraine and has provided everything that was necessary for, for, for ukraine in 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 that 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 . let's get some sports news now. it has been 5 days since the world cup concluded, and katara and most teams have now safely returned home. but the status of iran's national football team remains unclear. many of you will remember these images of iran refusing to sing their countries national anthem ahead of their opener against england. it was an act of solidarity with protests, back home in iran, over the death of masa, a mi ni, who died in police custody. but what happened to those players when they returned
5:20 pm
home? well, joining me to answer that question and more as castro, nettie pointed yard, an iranian tie, quando athlete who has been living in exile here in a berlin cusser. thanks so much for joining us. and so can you tell us what happened to the iranian football team? after they returned home, well actually nothing happened to them because they couldn't a protest and they couldn't support day when people were red. so we were mothered them. but it seems like they were under the pressure from their islam regime and they slam encouraging money toward them. so if they could do something else is going to be dangerous for them and for the families that because they think they couldn't do something else and they could, they couldn't do it more. and it's not just footballers you yourself have experienced 1st hand what it's like. can you tell us a little bit more about how dangerous the situation is for athletes?
5:21 pm
exactly, i remember a few weeks ago was a wrestling tournament in us, and that iranian national thing was there and, and the reporter asked them what's going on in iran, and how do you think about the situation in iran? so it seems like the answer is already explained to them and they just say, you know, we are here and we are here just to compete. nothing else. so many athletes have been already arrested and some of them, like mohammed, medicare, me and our mirrors on us, was a donnie, a facing their execution. so extremely dangerous and choosing their words very carefully. i know that you're also in touch with many athletes who are back home. can you tell me what they've been telling you? yeah, i'm in touch with many athletes or specially the members of a national team. and many of them mentioned that they got the message or an altima or from the sport federation, or security, a squad in a sport,
5:22 pm
for the reasons who can control the athletes. that if they do something, if they protest, if they even said something, and the social media platforms is, can be dangerous for them and are definitely they cannot continue their sport carrier or so this lamar regime knows well that the athletes are, they have a special socialist that was in your, on that because they were under the brochure and the government wants to control them to finally control the people and protesters. that's really interesting. what do you think the iranian government through all of this is actually trying to achieve? so in fact, islam regime or is afraid of the unity of the iranian people. and herb herb this law mc regime continues execution and a porter for 40 years. and they have a clear message that we don't care who you are. if you are an athlete, a champion,
5:23 pm
a hero, or even a normal person, we don't a give you any opportunity to do or say something against our ideal loyalty. that because we believe the only solution is the revolution. well, thank you so much for joining us here. and did up unit really appreciate you taking the time. it's katara. lydia pointed out, thank you so much. look at her, build the 2022 world cup as the 1st carbon neutral tournament. even building a temporary arena in a push for sustainability. and the idea was to dismantle it after the tournament and ship it to another country that needs the infrastructure, but it would only be sustainable if that actually happens. it hosted some of the world cups, biggest parties, but now stadium $974.00 will be dismantled. the 1st ever temporary venue at a wealth cup got its name from the 974 shipping containers that we used to construct the arena. organizers say the ability to take apart and rebuild 974,
5:24 pm
makes it more sustainable than other stadiums but fif, his own study revealed the initial construction actually had higher greenhouse gas emissions than permanent stadiums due to the use of carbon intensive materials. it only becomes more sustainable if it is re used at future events. and there are no guarantees that that will happen as prospect gov. i don't think it will be rebuilt in another country. it will be, there are rumors that say it will be donated to a developing country, but i think it's impossible. it's very difficult in terms of building a stadium oh, down the concert august that sporting mega events have place that great to focus on sustainability lately. but there's no doubt consol 2022 has had a massive carbon footprint. the country built 8 new stadiums at a cost of some $6.00 and a half $1000000000.00 of that her extrude want. so it could be a good thing for sustainability of your b. but i don't see how it is sustainable when you're spending billions of dollars
5:25 pm
to build them, their culture called korea the media that up 974 could yet become a prototype for world cup stadiums. but 1st, it will have to see more moments like this in another parts of the world. they can bring you up to speed now it's another world cup stories. ceramic figures of world cup winner, atlanta massey, have been drawing crowds at a christmas market in catalonia. the figure known traditionally as a can, a depicts a swatting peasant with his trousers dropped to reveal a bare backside. and she, he traditions meant to be a source of luck and prosperity for the new year. and byron munich, all funds are, davies has been, and canada hope all are of the year. for a 4th time, davies helped canada get back to the world's cup for the 1st time in 36 years. the 22 year old also netted canada's 1st ever world's cup goal and patter. it is the 4th time in 5 years that davies has claimed the honor not fat. and
