so now the european union is edging towards tightening the rules on travelers arriving from china. most member states, now 5 are introducing testing. there's been a surgeon cases in china since badging abandoned. it's 0 covet policy. the france in italy, we're the 1st a year. countries to require negative tests from people arriving from china, a spine for its power requires proof of full vaccination or, and negative taste, while germany still has no restrictions in place. broadening out beyond the a, you know, britain, the u. s. india, australia, and japan are among those already restricting travelers from the chinese mainland. i jenkins the rules discriminatory the spot, the dramatic rise and covet infections, and global airlines also oppose strict emissions by shanghai hospital pushed to the brink. doctors working around the clock to save patients after the

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. there is a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world to sell. russian president vladimir putin as announced the deployment of new hypersonic cruise missiles. she said, a frigate armed with the weapons, was now on its way to the atlantic ocean. russia's military is under pressure at home after it was to have a losses from a single ukrainian attack. lenny and authorities have released prominent actress, talent aid ali dusty from prison on bio images on twitter,

a 3rd of the population of cameroon is catholic, and gave the form of pontiff welcome. in the early years of his papacy, that visit was not without controversy. as the deputies blazed a young reports river father hel, but never was spot or 6 on the strong quiet sent to greet bennett. when he visited cameroon in 2009, he remembered it well when i met him in the basine car, ah, from a distance i could see the humility of a great buster. oh, some one will, has the church or has, in a certain sense is wholly at the helm of the church. but the humility of a past or in walking down the aisle and greeting appeal 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 a d. i a not suppose 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 conduct is to put condom distribution of only makes matters worse than out. here are mental prob, lima, lazarus versus the point is remark spock our reach from health organization trying to save lives by promoting condom use. at a time about 22000000 africans, we're living with h. i. v and aids normal border decompose a little bit farther near, but suppose the puffs message that the best way to stop the spread of each i b include chastity. i fidelity marriage. i do agree with the stance of po benedict, the 16 desperate and

a distribution of contraceptives increases promiscuity. and given the fact that contra cities are not 100 percent efficient because of perhaps a synthetic lapses or it gives the illusion of propagate in a safe sex. there are in for us use are widely echoed across the african continent . it's fair to say po benneditas justine will mostly be remembered here for the impact he had on the african people. yes, bennett is spoke about women's rights violence and he criticized. yep. news on how i include at a time when many after failure does we're doing all the could to stay in office, need 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. bennett

is not just a speech. a father is that of the similar who is more employment, it's 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. how to new you may be, does that many of the good number of colleagues on the continent were remember him for that as we speak, the us house of representatives is making another attempt to elect a speaker to break a historic deadlock in congress. a 4th round of voting is underway after right wing republicans blocked the front rather from their own party. kevin mccarthy, free. early. a votes he appears to be hitting for another defeat. it's the 1st time that's happened in the centre. a president biden has called the chaos embarrassing . mccarthy. well, the deputy correspondence to me sullen scandal joins me now from washington. d. c. so me the 4th round of voting is happening now. how does that look for kevin

mccarthy? yeah, we're watching it very closely. anthony does appear at the moment that kevin mccarthy will lose this ballot as well. it's not entirely certain yet because it also depends on how many members of the house of representatives are actually present to vote to how big of a majority is needed. but as i said, as things stand, it doesn't look good for kevin mccarthy. he was actually really upbeat before this vote saying he will get the support that he needs. but nobody's really sure what he meant by that because he hasn't yet seemed to change the minds of this hard, right? block of republican lawmakers who's been standing in his way and both sides appear to be digging in. so we're really still in a complete deadlock, and it is also interesting to note anthony, that the former president, donald trump, who does carry a lot of influence with this group of republicans standing in the way he wrote on his social media platform earlier today. truth social a to please vote for kevin mccarthy. he wants republicans to stand behind him. but

as things stand right now, it looks like those words did not have much of an influence. after all. so to me, if kevin mccarthy loses again, which looks plausible at the moment, what happens next? yeah, that's a big question. so they could adjourn and decide to put off the next vote until something actually changes. but according to kevin mccarthy, they're going to keep going until he's elected. so he's going to try to go to these hard line republicans and try to negotiate with them to win their vote. but the reality is we're gonna keep going until some candidate is selected. and until that happens, the house of republic representatives rather is paralyzed because no work can be done until they elect a speaker. and needless to say, from domestic to international affairs, there's a lot to get done. so we're seeing democrats and republicans representatives from both sides of the aisle saying this is frustrating because they cannot move forward . and for the republicans, they were supposed to be taking over the house of representatives with momentum to show that they are a solid unified block. but we're seeing

a show of disunity. we're seeing how much power this small group of hard, right, republicans has and the rest of the party is not happy with them. remember, anthony, the presidential election is next year old betty republicans are going to have to address the split these divisions to get their house in order if you will. so none of this looks great. we are looking at lot pitches at the moment. we just were none of looks great of republicans, but what does that mean for jo, broadens presidency if anything was you said he's calling all of a sudden chaos embarrassing. but despite this start, it does mean that things are going to be difficult for president biden. the republicans will so have the majority in the house of representatives. they will block any legislative agenda he had. so he will have one essentially, and they are still going to push forward with investigations into his family, into his cabinet as well. members of his cabinet. so he is still going to face a difficult next 2 years of legislating from the white house with the republicans

in the majority in the house of representatives. as soon as this, at some point moves forward, they doubly correspondent, so me, so most kanda in washington. they say thanks so much. last human induced global warming is being blamed for a poor start for the winter sports season in many of europe's most famous gay resorts. lack of snow means that some had not opened and all others have had to close or rely on men. made slow to keep skis and slow borders on the slopes. it looks like a summer trip up the mountain, but death is january and europe. green grass blankets hills that should be covered and snow right now. and ski slaves have been confined to a narrow lane. as if bush, 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 the slaves to melt. and what little snow you see here didn't fall from the sky. now 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, it's with it won't nickel and the last significant snowfall in the area was at the start of december. ski slope operate as a feeling the pinch. pittsville 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 slaves 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 volatile. 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 burden you fog and

rain instead of snow, while by no means comparable to the humanitarian disasters caused by global warming around the world. the current state of european ski slopes is yet another sign that the climate emergency affects all of us. and that's all the nice the now coming up next on the channel a dock film episode looks at rushes, largest forest, the tiger in distress and go further. will be back after that with more news, american house in berlin. fidel stay with us. departure into the unknown to day. this means flying to a foreign planet. in the 16th century, it meant being a captain and setting sail to discover a route.
