is the pullman to unleash on violent pass and re imagine now these teachings or elements to gandhi's legacy starts january 28th on b, w ah ah, this is the double the news live from berlin. the european union considers covered 19 restrictions on travelers from china. countries which already test arrivals want the measures extended across the block a line, so that would not stop the spread of the current of ours. also on the program.

republican front run kevin mccarthy presses ahead with his bid to become a us house speaker. broadway is blocked him in 3 rounds of voting so far. another is jude in the coming hours. also coming up no snow at many of europe's top ski resorts. even the most famous alpine retreats and not immune to the effects of human induced climate change. plus breath taking pictures from the far reaches of the cosmos. one of the astronomers running the web space telescope talks us through images originating millions of lot used from ah, american how'd walk into the program? the european union is considering taught in the rules on travelers arriving from china. there's been a search in cases in china since by doing abandon. it's a 0 coded policy. the fonts in italy, we're the 1st

a year. countries to introduce testing on arrivals from china spine requires proof of full vaccination or a negative taste while germany fritz pot still has no restrictions in place at this point. that beyond the a you britain, the u. s. india, stria and japan are among those already restricting travelers from the chinese. my land by ging coles. the rules discriminatory to spot the dramatic rise and cover not any fictions by shanghai hospital pushed to the brink. doctors working around the clock to save patients after the relaxation of the so called 0 cobit policy, lead 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 are firmly opposed to attempt to manipulate the curve at 19 measures for political purposes. and we'll 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 and my, 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 bordered to be careful because they were going to do a p c r on arrival. let me say radio that 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. the earlier i spoke to d, w, 's, brussels bureau chief alexandra phenomena and asked her why the you is so concerned about the number of cupboard infections in china. while anthony, there are multiple factors at play here, a bitter experience from the past, fewer of new variance, and also mistress of information coming out of china. let's a take it a leaf on it. for instance, the country that was the 1st to introduce travel restrictions for travelers from china. and 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 your opinions that there are vaccines are less efficient than those that are loose in europe. but i think a major factor here is really the mistress of information coming out of a china, or with many expert seeing, even at the world health organization that china needs to be a more for is coming with sharing important information. we know that the country is dealing with the massive search in new covet 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 opened up and ended, it's a 0 coverage policy. so your opinions are concerned about this information a policy in china. so that's what's driving what sort of action is being considered today. what could and 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 travellers before a day or leave a china or 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's only early days. but how likely is it 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, seeing that they are going to introduce travel restrictions that they are going to

demand. and nick, 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 covet test from people who could enter the european union and especially their shane and zone are from a different european countries. so actually they need to have a joint solution it to add to that added a 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. to the united states down the u. s. house of representatives is in gridlock after its 1st day under republican rule. had right lawmakers have blocked the election of a half speaker, something which is usually

a formality frontrunner kevin mccarthy is so far filed to gain enough votes. it's the 1st time in a 100 years the leadership voters filed at this early stage. another round of voting is due in the coming else. 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 o. 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. look at today's is the day i wanted to have, you know, i think there was a lot of things we wanna do. we want to repeal 87000 irises, we want to set up a number investigation. we want to notice the living committee here. we have actually on the board, lena can fight. but if we're able to work out our differences again, this time to only be stronger to be leucon, push the thing without to speak of 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. the earlier i spoke to de doubly correspondence with me . so i scanned in washington about kevin mccarthy's chances of the coming speaker of the house. today. 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 of 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 have 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 law makers 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 vote. 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 for 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 lawmakers 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 over 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 on washington dc, yet again, they probably correspond it to me. so just kinda thank you so much or at his look now, some of the other stories making headlines around the world. russian president vladimir putin as announced the deployment of new hot assoni for his missiles. he said, a frigate armed with the weapons was now on his way to the atlantic ocean councils . brushes, military comes under pressure at home after it's worth to have a losses from a single finding an attack, as only men mocking 75 years of independence from britain with a military parade and pardons for thousands of prisoners. it's not clear whether this will include people jailed for the state. military leaders have at one plans for elections. this process has used his weekly audience to praise his predecessor

benedict as a great communicator of the catholic faith. francis is preparing to conduct benedict funeral at the vatican, got thousands of dollars a final respect before the pope benedict is also remembered for his work in africa. a 3rd of the population of cameroon as catholic, and gave the former pontiff a warm welcome. in the early years of his papacy, but his visit was not without controversy as d. w place a young reports river father hel, but never was part of 6 wonder strong quiet sent to greet bennett when he visited cameroon in 2009. he remembered it well when i met him in the basilica. oh, from a distance i could see the humility of a great buster. oh, some one war has the church or has in

a certain sense is wholly at the helm of the church. but the humility of a past door in walking down the aisle and greeting a pew grims, he was been at his 1st visit to africa as poor. he came down in the central african country to a warm reception. but as where the focus was on comments, he had made one to flight. he did a nausea pause. i would add that the aids problem cannot be solved by money alone. even if necessary to round america cannot be solved with condom distribution. suppose or berardi from that is would condom distribution only makes matters worse? our mentor know probably more. lesser is turner versus, or the point is remark spock our reach from help organizations trying to save lives by promoting quantum use. at a time about $22000000.00 africans,

we're leaving which i v and eats normal mortar, the con protel's unilateral. but father nearby supports the pope's message that the best way to stop the spread of each ib include chastity. i fidelity marriage. i do agree with the stance of po benedict, the 16 desperate and distribution of contraceptives, increases promiscuity. and given the fact that contra cities are not 100 percent efficient because of perhaps a synthetic lapses are, it gives the illusion of propagates in a safe sex. there are and far as use are widely echoed across the african continent . it's fair to say poor ben assisting will mostly be remembered here. what a buggy had on the african people with bennett spoke about women's rights violence, and he criticized capitalism. our income, a rule at

a time when many after fairly does we're doing all the court to stay in office, lead us like his horse per via host. he has the country 40 years after taking office hominy to walk. i do not and got to thinks the poor understood the struggles of young africans. benneditas is not just the speech of a staff of similar who is more employment is more of justice for all young people. so mom was there for us as well. us control versus bennett, left africa, and mrs. uh huh. a renewal. it may be just that many of the good number of colleagues on the continent will remember him for a human, and just global warming is being blamed for a poor start to the winter sports season. in many of europe's most famous ski resorts, lack of snow means that some have not opened at all of us. others rather had to

close or rely on man made snow to keep skis and snow borders on the slopes. it looks like a summer trip up the mountain, but this is january and europe green grass blankets, hills that should be covered and snow right now. and ski slopes have been confined to a narrow lane as this coverage. it's really weird. everything is green left and right of the slope. if the temperature is of up to 10 degrees celsius, have caused the last snow on these slaves to melt. and what little snow you see here didn't fall from the sky. there the hammer and the 2 had fresh, natural snow in salem see about 40 centimeters. this will be far too little. so we filled it out with artificial snow because of that we've cope well was here with it won't nickel and the last significant snowfall in the area was at the start of december ski slope operators. a feeling the pinch puts better, helps as

a main season. we should be hosting up to $4000.00 guests ambia, but now there's only half of the usual guess. switzerland and france have also been feeling the heat. numerous slopes remain closed over the festive season, forcing holiday makers to consider taking up alternative sporting activities for the for 2 other trulia. on aut arlene, wellington, we hear the news about global warming that i don't know, but the factors that we can't deny it. if i take you out of the berlin, you soak and rain instead of snow, while by no means comparable to the humanitarian disaster is caused by global warming around the world. the current state of european ski sleeps is yet another sign that the climate emergency effects all of us. okay, here's the look it's most or is making headlines around the world there. and failed crypto currency bar sam, bank from fried,

hexagonal segments coated with a thin layer of vaporized gold that reflects in for red light especially well. the mirrors body is made of beryllium, a light weight metal that holds its form even an extreme cold hard to believe, but it took only 48 grams of gold to coat all of its segments. remote controlled actuators are mounted on the back of each segment. the small motors can pivot and turn them in 6 directions. the main mirror collects light and reflect it onto a smaller mirror, it and turn focus as the light to the telescopes, measuring instruments. probing the universe is mysteries with a hitherto unknown sharpness and clarity and recording stunning images. like this shot of a vast stellar nursery called the torrential,

a nebula pat with young stars. or this one from the corina nebula, that has been dubbed cosmic cliffs. there are razor sharp images of galaxies far beyond our own milky way, like the cart wheel 500000000 light years away, but also magnificent shots from our immediate neighbourhood, the solar system, among them. jupiter, an exquisite detail and the ringed gas giant, neptune seemingly close enough to touch for months now the james web space telescope has been revealing the wonders of the universe and unprecedented ways. and this is just the beginning. oh, well sir. kendra is an astronomer working for the european space agency in baltimore as a member of the james webb spice telescope mission office. a welcome to you,

sarah. your assessment on the one year of james james webb in spice, i think i know the answer, but i want to hear from you. was it worth the effort? yes, lab was absolutely worth the effort. it was a long right to get that back and the data that we're seeing on from the telescope, where only one year into this mission, everything that comes back, it's just fantastic and quality in depth in detail that we can see. and we're already seeing so many new things in different areas of the universe. and so we're really excited about the rest of the mission and very pleased where we are, they the images, the times web produces are being described as windows, into a history of ag universe. in layman's terms, and i show you, you're talking to one, what do you see in these images? and how does that help us? we understand life, the universe. everything. yes. so astronomy as

a science, you know, we don't, we don't work in a lab on like a chemist or a biologist. so really for us to learn about the universe, we just have to look all around us. you know, the universe, in fact, is a lab. so what we try to do is observe and record lights in as many different ways as we can at different wavelengths all the way from the radio to the x ray. so what we're seeing with web in the infrared is huge technological stepped forward for that particular kind of lights on. and so it's kind of opening up a huge new kind of parameter space in terms of how deep we can see in the universe and the level of detail that we can see in the images. so in that sense, it really is a kind of a new window into the universe that showing us the universe in new and exciting, different ways and is giving us new pieces of the puzzle. understanding the physics of everything we see around us. just how much has, and it's only been here,

but how much has the web telescope shaken up knowledge of the universe's history? yeah, that's a great question. i mean, it's still very early days. we are learning a lot about how the telescope operates and how to get the best quality data out to be observatory. what we've seen so far is just been staggering. the performance is really fantastic. the best and a lot of things, a lot of new things to learn. and there have been some really tantalizing hints that, particularly when we look at galaxies in the very early universe, which is something really web was optimized to study. and that there may be some challenges to our understanding of what these galaxy should look like. it's really getting us very excited for what new things we will discover in the us to come. it's extremely early days, you know, science progressive slowly. it takes time to understand and interpret what we're

seeing. but there's absolutely no doubt we're going to be discovered lots of new things about us. okay, very quickly. it's a hard question to answer quickly. will the telescope help us find life in space? yeah, that's hard to answer quickly, but i mean finding life in space like definitive evidence of life and space. big stream lea challenging because you have to rule out every other mechanism that could have caused the, the tv tiny signal that you're seeing. what definitely doing already is helping us understand better the physics and chemistry of these x a planet. so these are planted, orbiting other start galaxy, every planet we have observed with web. it's already showing us new, different chemistry that we have never been able be before. so it's going to give us a really big step towards that goal of finding life and excellently done, sir, can vary from the james web space telescope mission. thanks so much. thank you.
