a car in paris while hospitals in china are overwhelmed with corona virus cases. after beijing abandoned the strict 0 cove and policy that 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 that month. 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 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 shouted. the core problem,

people are making themselves afraid. in recent years, the government has had good intentions, but exaggerate to 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 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, the temperature goes up and down all her. since the end of the

0 corbett policy of to death, polls have been hard to come by. botch in front of the crematorium. 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 at 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 with $6070.00, even 80 percent of people being infected. so we know the oval timeline and that this narrow window of opportunity to, to have actions. now that would save people's lives. then from officials have pledge to expand the 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 activated vaccine offer protection against the

severe course of the disease. let's bring you up to speed now with some other world and headlines at this hour. a car bomb detonated in a residential area of the pakistani capital as long about on friday, killing a police officer and 2 military suspected of carrying out the attack. to pakistani tolley bon is already claimed responsibility for the explosion which left 10 other people wounded, convicted killer, charles. so raj has been released from a prison in nepal after nearly 2 decades behind bars. the 78 year old french national is suspected of killing more than 20 backpackers in the 19 seventy's and eighty's of all supreme court ordered his release a year early, citing his advanced age and a man who entered 3 people in a knife attack on a high speed train in southern germany last year. as a found guilty, indian court found the man hadn't islamic extremist motive, and he was sentenced to 14 years in prison. and there are severe weather

warnings in place for millions of americans as a huge winter storm moves across the united states. freezing arctic areas 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 quite a once in a generation storm. the threat of heavy snow ice and dangerous t hi fins has already prompted some states to declare a state of emergency. this really very sure is whether we're here or goes from oklahoma, always to wyoming, to wyoming, to maine. and it's a real contra crunch. i encourage everyone, everyone, please he to local warning. this the weird read that has destructed holiday plans for millions of americans, frustration, news,

as thousands of flights have been cancelled every year. we'd rather spend christmas or thanksgiving or something like that together. just, you know, to keep the family connected. so it's, it's really important. and many of those staying home, i briefing for record breaking, quote, dan preachers. if you're not bundled up, if you don't have love to have a nice or a boots, probably some unders soma, long jobs or whatnot. you will be co. diff tom if sweeping through defense united states, and heading east forecast as warned millions more will 5th harsh red there. in the coming days. matthew capuchin meteorologist base in washington, d. c. and i earlier asked him just how bad the storm in the united states is almost at least like 3 or 4 different reasons. so we've heard the term bomb psych, one before. but what does that mean? basically, the story is radley intensive by so quickly. there's

a vast waiting air and out the top as such a rate that it's sucking air in the bottom from all sides when eastern side we're seeing warm weather, lot of rain of emergency we're with a lot of wind as well. yes. you about 90 kilometers per hour, but the bigger issue with that on the east coast was niecy philly, boston new york, is that the rainbow ball then rapidly freeze in constant lash freeze. later on today, anger is riding on the back side of the system. you have cold air pull down from siberia in canada, causing temperatures near minus 40 celsius over the place in between. that of the year masses causes no and blizzard conditions. and just how dangerous is dangerous, is it for people when temperatures are dropping so low? yes, i think it is both how low they get and how quickly they get in the air is seeing a classroom. a lot of folks will drive to work with rain and fresh water on the ground and drive home when it's basically a skating rink, a sheet of ice because of how quickly that the wiring around freeze. that's one

concern in eastern areas. in western areas there. see, nicole is temperatures over the central us, like resent minus 30 minus 40 a feeling even colder. and the other is you do that temperature with the wind will make a feel more like minus 50 to minus 55. and he conditions like that only takes 5 minutes to get frostbite, 10 minutes for hypothermia, and we're advising everybody who has to travel to have an emergency kit with blankets and everything you need in best jackets in your vehicle, just in case you break down. because otherwise, it could be deadly back. so a potentially very dangerous situation. indeed, i'm, after today we've been reporting on severe weather events all around the world. can you tell us how much of a role climate change plays in the storm that we're seeing in the united states? yeah, most definitely. that's a really good question. any time we have a big event, it's who the trying to figure out if there's a limb to climate change. what i will say is we often see bomb psych loans, often east coast of united states each winter. it's pretty typical november, december, january, all the way you're able to see bombs, items,

one piece of potential climate length. if there was to be one, is that the poles, the north pole is warming faster than the waiter. what that means is that the jet stream that river winds in the upper atmosphere has to go farther to balance out the warm equator. and the cooler polls. so as can go farther, because it's weightier, you get more extreme weather, more extreme air masses like wars, right, and the easterly cool down in the center, u. s. and stronger mid latitude side bone. so if there was a link that would be it, it's probably mostly random but, but there could be sort of more favorable, arduous re her thanks. thank you so much for explaining all of that. that's matthew cover. g, a meteorologist based in washington, dc. and you for we go, let's get a reminder of our top stories at this hour. ah, a shooting at a curtis community center has parked unrest in central paris. 3 people were killed in the attack and several others wounded french, prosecutors say
