something the hardware and software of our brain changes. so get really for the brain of 40 to the answer to almost everything. starts january 15 on d, w ah ah, this is d w. news live from building the european union considers kobe 19 restrictions on travelers from china. countries which po ready test arrivals what the measures extended across the block a lot say that would not stop the spread of corona bars. also on the program

republican front runner, kevin mccarthy, presses the head with his bid to become us house speaker. right wingers to blocked him in 3 browns. a floating number is 2 in the coming hours and scientists again found the alert on climate change. they warned only decisive action. the whole global warming can slow the increase in extreme weather. ah, m. anthony howard walk into the program. the european union is considering tightening the rules on travelers arriving from china. there's been a surge in cases in china since by ging abandoned it's 0 coded policy. france in italy, we're the 1st a you countries to introduce testing from arrivals from china. spine requires proof or full vaccination or, and negative taste while germany still has no risk. and now beyond that,

you britain, the us, india, australia, and japan, among those restricting travellers from the chinese, my lead, budging calls the rules discriminatory the spot, the rise and infections i shanghai hospital pushed to the brink. doctors working around the clock to save patients after the relaxation of the so called 0 cobit policy, led to a spike in corona virus infections. yet even as hospitals strain, many chinese are heading abroad after years of not being allowed to travel stoking fears, that if a new variant were to emerge, there would be no containing it. in december half the passengers on 2 flights to italy, we're later found to have covered italy started testing all arrivals from china. as more countries joined in china's foreign ministry pushed back both and what the entry restrictions adopted by some countries targeting china lack scientific basis

. and some of these excessive practices are unacceptable. we a family opposed to a teams to manipulate the cove at 19 measures for political purposes and will take count images that day. it's unclear just what counter measures are on the table. but the patchwork of requirements has led to confusion as well. the voice is the family. when my brother, who has not been allowed to travel for 3 years, he is coming from china and didn't know anything about the testing. we had to tell him before he boarded to be careful because they were going to do a p c r on arrival there yet. it's been 3 years since the corona virus started. it's trip around the world. and the end of the journey is still not in sight or european union officials are meeting today to discuss a coordinated response to the surgeon cove at 19 infections in china. and joining

me now is the w. brussels bureau chief alexandra font, norman alexander, going to see you at y is the a usa concert this point. well, actually there are multiple factors at play here. a bitter experience from the past, the fear of new variance, and also mistress of information coming out of china. let's a take it a leaf on it, for instance, to country that was the 1st to introduce trouble restrictions for travelers from china or the country was hit incredibly hard at the beginning of the pandemic. and they'll socrates there, are saying that they need, they have to protect their citizens. that's exactly what the french authorities are saying as well. they have to take into account. there are indicating that china's population is a little image, is less immune that probably there you opinions that there are vaccines are less

efficient than those that are loose in euro. but i think a major factor here is really the mistress of information coming out of a china, our many experts seeing even at the world health organization that china needs to be a more for its coming with sharing important information. we know that the country is dealing with a massive search in new covered cases where its hospitals and funeral homes, seeing that they are over a want, at the same time, according to official data, only few deaths were registered as since the country has open up and ended, it's a 0 coverage policy. so your opinions are, are concerned about this information a policy in china. so that's what's driving or what sort of action is being considered today. what could the response look like? well, there are different proposals on the table and i am told to buy officials or he and

brussels at that. the majority of you members deeds are, is in favor of introducing pre boarding task, sir, for all travelers before they leave china. so of course, the question is, or where it is going to take place, or what kind of test, et cetera, that is something that they would need to discuss today. other measures include worrying mask during the flight or a testing ways to water from planes. that is something that belgium has announced are going to do. they want to test or the waste water from planes a to a detect potential new variance that only early days. but how likely is that that they will agree to any measures and find a solution that everyone agrees on. well, i think that with more and more european nation saying that they are going to introduce travel restrictions that they are going to demand or near a negative covet test or to enter their country. and the pressure is growing on the

whole european union to have a solution. there are to have a common policy because of course it doesn't make any sense for italy just to demand a negative coverage test from people who could enter the european union and especially their shane and zone are from a different european country. so actually they need to have a joint solution it to add to that error at joint answer. how to deal with this sir. he messes a search in you covered cases in china, the w, brussels bureau chief, alexandra phenomena. thank you. well, the u. s. house of representatives is in gridlock after it's 1st day and a republican rule. hard right. law make is of blocked to the election of a house speaker, usually a formality front runner. kevin mccarthy has so far failed to gain enough votes. it's the 1st time in a 100 years the leadership vote has filed at this early stage. another round of

voting is due in the coming hours. it was a night of pandemonium. on the floor of the us house of representatives. after republican kevin mccarthy failed to win the $218.00 votes needed to be elected speaker of the house. there was shock in the chamber after the nominee failed to win for the 1st time in a century that annabel kevin mccarthy, of the state of california has received $203.00 b republican front runner is seeking to take over from democrat nancy pelosi after his party when a majority in the november mid term elections. the today's

is the day i wanted to have, you know, i mean there's a lot of things we want to do. we want to repeal 87000 irises, want to set up a number investigation. going to want to notice the living committee here is we have actually on the board, lena kent back. but if we're able to work out our differences in case this time to only be strongly leucon, push the things without to speak at the house. new members are unable to be sworn in on. business isn't able to proceed sad day for the house of representatives as an institution. sad day for the microscope. it's a sad day for the american people. house democrats are unified, ready, willing, and able to get to work on behalf of every day. americans voting has been postponed until wednesday, but neither mccarthy,

all those voting against him, appear ready to back down. or the doubly correspondence to me so must gather joins me now from washington d. c. so we go to, so you mccarthy's, facing another round the voting lighter. is there a chance he might have managed to have turned the tide here? it really isn't clear, anthony. i mean there hasn't actually been much movement since tuesday. i mean, there are some reports that one republican law maker who voted against kevin mccarthy for speaker. the house could change his or her vote. and as i'm talking to you, there's probably a lot of last minute wrangling and horse trading happening. there's discussions about a possible concession candidates of somebody who might be a viable candidate who could get enough votes. but the reality is that this is a completely deadlock situation and there isn't a clear path to get it unstuck. and what's interesting to note is this was actually pretty clear before all of the voting even started, the republicans essentially have an open revolt on their hands in the party,

the vote for the speaker of the house or another vote. now there's been several rounds, or there could be several rounds to come. they have really laid bare just how influential that revolt can be. we're talking about a handful of republican lawmakers who are willing significant power to me as that's all happening. it's hard not to wonder what happens if he fails again in the next foot. well, according to kevin mccarthy, they will keep going until he's elected. and we don't know, as i said, how many rounds that might be. and there are 2 reasons that that is really significant. one, as we heard in that report, congress is essentially paralyzed right now. so all of the new members of congress, both democrats and republicans who are supposed to get sworn in that can't happen until there's a speaker of the house. selecting the speaker is the 1st order of business and from domestic to international affairs. there's a lot to get done. i mean bills have to be paid. congress has to operate and all of

that is being held up right now. and anthony, the 2nd reason that this is important is this power struggle tells us a lot about where the republican party is right now. this is again, as i said, a hard right faction of the party. it's a small number of law makers who have a big amount of power over the party on a whole. they want a say over what is happening in the party. what happens in congress. they want to move the party further to the right and the rest of the republicans in the house. they're not happy with them. i mean, they promised voters to take quick action, hold, president biden accountable. they can't get past this step. and this is going to be a problem for the party, especially of the next 2 years looking ahead to the next presidential election, 2024. and this faction has been really supporters of for a former president of donald trump. and he did way in on social media, he actually urged these members to vote for kevin mccarthy. i'll tell you what he said on truth social his as social media platform. he said,

make sure to vote for kevin to close the deal. republicans do not turn a great triumph into it, joined an embarrassing defeat. it's time to celebrate. you deserve it. it's not clear, however, anthony, if those words from president trump are actually going to have enough of an impact o lives in washington dc, yet again, they probably corresponded to me so much kinda thank you so much. all right, he's looking out some of the stories making headlines around the world. me and mom is marking 75 years of independence from britain with a military parade and pardons. thousands prisoners isn't clear whether this will include people jail, the dissent military latest of outlined plants for elections this year. for processes, he used his weekly audience to prize his predecessor benedict as a great communicator of the catholic faith. francis is preparing to conduct a funeral at the vatican. thousands of loaners are paying their final respects for

level act. jeremy renter has posted on social media from his hospital in nevada. you think fans for they concern rana was run over by his own snowplow as he tried to climb into the driver's seat during a bliss sunday morning, failed printer currency boss and bank them freight has pleaded not guilty to you as criminal fraud charges the 30 year old is accused of cheating investors and looting customer deposits on his trading platform. if t. o will arab leaders have condemned the visit by israel's new far right. national security minister to one of jerusalem's most controversial religious thoughts. the temple melt, which is known to palestinians as the noble sanctuary. they say it a man give v as presence there is a deliberate provocation. whitehouse forms the visit could spots just days after being sworn in as israel's national security minister is a marvin beer has visited one of jerusalem. most sensitive religious sites are both

on michael lee. temple. mount is a most important place for the people of israel and it's open for every one muslim visit to the coming christians and yes, juice to sell us in a government. i'm a member of there won't be racism and discrimination. i lou unusual, go to the temple mount. we clarify this for him. us. we do not surrender. we do not bow much smith, the farmer, politician toward the ground flanked by armed security. and if that has outraged palestinians, the militant islam, his group, hamas recognized as a terrorist organization by the you, has threatened repercussions. and is them yet had as least provocative behavior. we have increased tensions. it brings matters closer to a major explosion. a man possibly bonded opens a door wide for a real escalation with that. and who hit her that must be in one orbit medical goods. under a status quo arrangement, non muslims are allowed to visit the compound on the condition. they do not pray.

now there are fears the visit of the israeli minister has added to the tensions around the fight. quote unquote can be security forces. think this is a dangerous move gun. it's not an accident that ministers have avoided visiting for many years. more training holic less to lima will say, it will be seen by the whole world is breaking the status quo alcohol. or even if it's not, it's an unnecessary risk. mute. uh huh. the complex is the most sacred sight to jews, and the 3rd holiest place for muslims. competing claims over the shrine represent a major source of conflict between the 2 signs. one that has often resulted in violence or earlier we spoke to our religious affairs correspondent, not and gac, and asked him why the temple mount is so sensitive. the temple mound, which is a compound as an she, a witching closer sort of a set of mosques. and i mean, at the same time it's, it has sort of a direct direct,

farther on which the western walls tend to some place which was assumed to have. or it's believed to have had the 2, the 2 great temples. so for judaism, the place is actually the holiest place. and obviously for islam it's actually assessed the report mentioned was the 3rd holiest place. it turns out that it has been a flash point for a conflict for really a very long time. and although we talk very different about the studies school that studies school has actually been quite fluid, essentially, i think that they really ballasting in conflict. also like default lane also cuts across obviously a religious or religious religious groupings. and the jewish community particularly around sort of the right in the far right and very religious jews see this place to place were which they should have access to. it's a matter of fact, i mean there was, there was a, there was a confrontation and now the as to which was doing too shabby app,

which is the day of morning or are the major the more in the jewish calendar, in which about 2000 men jewish men try to came actually into the temple mount and there was a confrontation between muslims which that very day. on the 6th of august, we're starting aid in the calendar and this jewish group. so in the middle of all of that been can be, i was also also involved. he also appeared. so in a sense, i think that what we're seeing is that to very holy, very holy place for 2 religions is being instrumental lies for political, obviously, for political reasons. nonetheless, it is very clear that the religious sensibilities are actually, are actually to be taken very seriously. so essentially that is, that is the state of affairs. many european countries, the same record, high january temperatures as unseasonably, warm weather sweeps across the continent. scientists,

the warning that 2023 is likely to bring an increase in extreme weather events around the world due to human induced climate change. they dudley's climate report or tim schellenberg has this outlook for the year ahead. devastating floods, droughts, apocalyptic storms and rising sea levels. the past year in the u. s. pakistan, italy, and the horn of africa was just the beginning. the scientists are able to give an attribution very quickly to pakistan flood. they gave an attribution 50 percent more, a flood because of human induced climate change. the hurricane ian that hit florida, the said 30 percent more flooding rainfall because of climate change. ok, so we don't have a climate change element to all of these disasters. there's no 0 climate change disaster left anymore. the energy crisis field by the russian

invasion of ukraine will continue to play a major role in terms of how quickly countries reduced their emissions in the long run. there are 2 main developments. the 1st is the exploration of new gas and oil fields. new pipelines, refineries and l. n. g terminals are being built. so nations no longer have to depend on russian fossil fuels. the 2nd and even bigger trend, major investments in solar and wind power and hydrogen capacities, particularly in the u. s. e. u, china, and india. everybody always understood that banking on cheese gas is not a good idea, needs to have a different plan and the plan is to safe energy and to install more renewable energy. so when you have 2 competing trends, and the main question for me is which one wins? one important step forward that we may see in 2023 is a deal between the g 7 countries and india along the lines of an agreement made with south africa last year. under the just transition partnership, the us germany,

france, d u and the u ki agreed to provide south africa with barry engine financing to speed up its coal phase plans. a deal of this kind with the world's 5th largest economy. india would accelerate its switch to renewables and potentially represent a big move towards climate justice and the curbing of global warming. and if a data entry, which havoc was the 5 times bigger economy, what a much it sort of been a new padded aim, flamer discussions which can actually keep up with a b as needed. the next united nations climate conference call 28. it you to take place in the united arab emirates at the end of the year. scientists agree that we cannot afford to miss any more opportunities when it comes to stopping climate change. every year counts on the ticket window is joining me now. executive director and co founder of the pan african climate justice alliance in

the ruby kenya. good, happy with us after such a brutally hot, 2022 of in terms of what the climate delivered. what are you expecting or braced for in 2023. thank you. very much and the great blizzard to speak to you out the inside during this new year to us in africa and as pan african, let me get the sat lance out. there is no really cause a significant change. ah, the change of day care does not mean that there is anything we to change. so the progression in tom, so bob warming extreme with that and with a been said, we expect everything 20 new guests that we had. it was last year. and in the south summer, even in the home of africa, where we come from, where the rise filled in with,

from my drought and day ended on the flash france, i actually, ob, north day and it seemed. and so we expect to be all a m at being to continue, and then actually the predictions are not the very positive in time. so by that coastal living crisis that the energy crises, the food we shown is winked watson. i'm so poor. so we expect to really a bad idea if i may see. so if we could isolate just one of those problems, all of the many, you've layout scarcity of water, is there a risk that a lack of water eventually becomes a trigger for armed conflict? shut unity if you see, i just want to give you an illustration to just where i come from. my community is off. i'm in community and we bonded pastor lease community, some of the company to which we expediency just at the village level desk at

community level. the communities have frontline of playmate crises, is that that competition, they won't then control 111 to a point. so those are not very, very minute level, but they didn't come out there again in the, in the, in what we are we bad in the order of africa. we are constantly kid yoga with the sauce or even 9, which is just, it was a conflict. and we've been, we've been labeling a country we to rely, so need egypt and is who done entities actually on was to causing promotion, walk because of the that, that we to be at the establishing if the opium and so we are seeing but more and more conflicts and based on them that diminishing resources that this water and this is actually very obvious in what we are seeing

and that we happy am the doing the cobra with 7 up for the 1st time we found what i was really a came into discussion is somewhat bit niche, at least 2 solutions, and some of them are and optician, a sect us, which we need to look into as we moved to address climate crisis, particularly nafrica makita and window executive director and the co founder of the pen african climate justice alliance. in the ruby can you thanks so much for your time. thank you. or brazil has bid an emotional farewell to football. legend ha, star striker was laid to rest in his home city, sent us fence good for hours to pay their respects. ah, emotions were running high as hundreds of thousands of people gathered to see the

procession of pallet's coffin through the city. the 3 time world cup winter died on thursday. at the age of 82 daniel. the world owes a lot to pillay, especially the dignity of a man that was born poor black bob in a countryway wretchedness is still high and play did not let this affect him. he knew how to be politely shaped the best and the most humble. i'm very said, after a few quick jewish people pack the streets, standing on rooftops and leaning from balconies to get a glimpse of the brazilian icon. the procession came to a halt when it passed the house where his 100 year old mother still lives. it was a day of mourning for the men brazilians called our king, but for many, it was a moment to celebrate him to you. polite. ne, represents a lot because since i was a kid,
