the for the rest of the world, usa, the also rise starts january 18th on dw, the, the business day, the, the news life from further in canada as prime minister announced as his resignation . justin to go says he'll step aside as lead to the ruling liberal party, but we'll stay in office until a success it will say coming off a powerful window. stone blankets, much of the eastern united states crippling travel, knocking out power to hundreds of 1000. the anthony out welcome kind of is justin true,

has announced he will resign as prime minister and as head of the liberal party for those said that internal potty struggles had made it clear that he couldn't lead the liberals into the coming election. they said he would stay on his prime minister until the party chose his replacement. even the elements went on just intruders side as he came out to him. now his resignation. i intend to resign as party leader as prime minister after the party selects it's next leader to a robust nationwide competitive process. this country deserves a real choice in the next election. and it is become clear to me that if i'm having to fight internal baffles, it cannot be the best option in that election. so just keep those internal bustles suddenly became fall to public for trudeau. last month,

when he tried to remote his then finance minister and long time allied, christie, a freeland, she resigned instead of accusing the prime minister, pursuing political gimmicks browser. and it kind of does best interest a criticism, a 100 more. i mean, nation to treat those opponents in his own policy who have been pointing to months of polls showing the liberals on calls for a crushing defeat in upcoming elections for you love those any way with all 3 of position parties already promising to topple. true, does minority administration, when parliament returned from its christmas break news of his resignation, came as no surprise, you know, to a forklift wavering. it wasn't by themselves. i feel bad, but on the other hand, we need to move forward. i mean, literally the never, i guess, i think you probably like you should have resigned over

a year ago. it was the right thing, but i wish you just called it will actually that is like i would have and that would've been the better choice. the canadians will now have to wait for a little longer for those elections parliament to set to remain suspended until march 24th, to give true to his party time to replace the man who left the country for nearly a decade. from now and join. now by journalists, lucy, then old bonham felt in the canadian capital all the way good to see you. uh why is true though rezani now as well, and that's a great question because his numbers, his popularity has been plummeting for for more than a year for, for many, many months. and by all of the occasions he was expecting to stay on until the next election, which was expected to be this coming october. but when the bombshell hit and christian freeland step down in, in december, about 3 weeks ago, all the wheels seem to came off the liberal boss. and at that moment,

i think the guy was cast. and it will, he, he, it just became untenable for him to stay on as leader the calls became louder from within his own party. and so he gave us the holidays to think about it. but today came out and, and announced what many people were expecting. that he had to resign because after christian freeland left, it just seems like he just could not hang on any longer. so let's say the wheels have rolled off the bus and rolled into the bushes the decision is made. now it's made is that the decision being sold as the the noble thing to do? i what joe barton wouldn't do soon enough for the democrats in the us. i ordered some say this was him leaving his party and that time if need. oh no, i think not leaving in the time of the definitely time to go don't let the door hit you on your way out, buddy. but what they are saying, what they're critical of is that he's left. it's so late because of all this internal fighting with the liberal party,

with the looming threat of donald trump has been troll in canada, who takes office 2 weeks, 2 weeks today. he's left a mess when he probably didn't need to. if he had left much sooner and, and people are arguing that it was, it was arrogance and a receipt and a refusal to read the room that kept him there as long as he did. so that seems to be the mood right now. he has left it way too late and he's really, he's really handicapping the next liberal leader in terms of fighting the next election. so the next liberal late, the elections must be held this year. so that's very much on the horizon. but who is likely to succeed mister turnover and is perhaps most the most important skill, the ability to stand up to donald trump. well, that's going to be a very important scale because he has, he has already threatened that the camera should become the 51st state and sees the, the prime minister as the governor. so and the, the looming threat of 25 percent,

tara this as a whole country talking, it is very concerning. it would be a real blow to our economy if he goes through with that threat. so there are a long list surprisingly, given how low in the polls the liberals are of people who want to run to succeed adjusting trudel, a number of cabinet ministers, including christian freeland, who, who, who we've been talking about here. she's seen as one of the front runners, but another outside or who is seen as a real front runner is former bank of canada, the governor, former bank of england, a governor, mark carney. he is it. he is a canadian. obviously he is a real. he is a former investment banker and he's also a progress if you see him on your screen there. so he is, i think considered the, the leading candidate right now. a man who could stand up or both to donald trump, but also to canada's conservative leader peer probably asked when it comes to the economy. it was the economy ultimately that started to the road,

the support for don a for, for justin trio. and how he is, he has management in post pandemic. so mark carney is the front runner, christian freeland, and then the current finance minister don liquid law. melanie shall lee, who is the foreign affairs minister our seat as, as, as, as real contenders here including anita and, and who is the administer of labor right now. it's a hard thing to do, i guess, but you've had time to think about it for a while. give us the best 30 seconds on justin triggers, legacy to well, you know it's, it's a complicated thing to do because for a while he was seen as a celebrity, prime minister, he was known around the world. he was young, he was attractive. he was a great speaker, he comes from a political dynasty and canada is called or was was a, was a glamorous prime minister. he also got his through the pandemic. many people credit him with saving, saving, lives, keeping with the economy afloat during the pandemic with other nations were really struggling. he's also really strong on climate change, so he will have

a legacy. he's let the load number of progressive policies, whether it's child care, whether his, his response to, to climate change. he's seen as, as a real. he will have an impressive legacy. i think when, when the, his, when history books are written, read separately, say really appreciate your time generalist lucy than pleasure. bonneville inaudible, thanks so much. a powerful, we just storm is pummeling parts of the east and us off to sweeping for the midwest . some areas have seen that heavy us not full in decades. the storm has been blamed for at least 3 dates, hundreds of thousands without power. the united states is being pummeled by a mass of winter storm system ice and snow, but a deep freeze on this highway in ohio as traffic ground to a standstill for 7 hours in kansas city. elbow grease was the only way be stranded

motors could get back on the road. as the snow continued to pile up is forcing the governor to send out the national guard. in some regions. further south, the snowfall caused travel chaos for states not use the heavy smell. like here in louisville, kentucky is airport. across the u. s. over 2000 flights were canceled. and 20000 more delayed. and some locals have already lost patients within your record snowfall. couldn't be worse, and with more snow on the way it's already back to the shuffle. i got to work tomorrow, so making sure i get there. even the nation's capital wasn't spared from the arctic blast. much to the delight of this former olympian by athlete. yeah, we're so happy to be here and we're so grateful that we have this beautiful public

space that we can enjoy in all weather. especially this one. the winter storm advisories remain in effect for many parts of the us until tuesday night. so you can peachy, as a major ologist and in that, in a straight generalist. and joins us from a very cold washington day. so you can just say, matthew, the storm is delivered on its promises. nobody got yesterday from me, matthew, how much more has it got to give at this point? so right now i say like 90 percent of the storm is done. the entire system is kind of working, not the eastern seaboard right now into the atlantic ocean. so it's almost entirely over, but not quite yet. part of the reason being, it has that cold air wrap around the cold air backlash in the backside, which is pushing through west virginia into the major, into the virginia region. eventually, washington, dc. these next few hours we'll see kind of cold air temperature dropping. and of course, a little bit of additional snow $3.00 to $7.00 centimeters, which doesn't really sound like much, like some a little bit more than frankly,

just don't need on top of we already have. yeah, you're saying some people using the snow to go skiing a minute ago for washington d. c. a people adjusting the travel plans and just keeping on moving forward? matthew will, has this, don't really put the brakes on where you are in the capitol. polls and think this is a really well anticipated winter storm. so a lot of folks ahead of time are reaching out to me saying, hey, what do we do? should we change our travel plans that said roughly 90 percent of flight as a reagan national airport. the main airport in dc what were cancelled, and i think as a result of that, so many folks, we kind of scrambling to change your plans. i think these next 24 hours will be really rough for people in the city. not only do they have, you know, roadways that are really tough, but all the planes, the planes that shouldn't been a reagan national are sort of not invisible either down in charlotte throughout further north and boston. those wants to take time to kind of get back into the city so we can have flights out of the city. so it will be

a little while for folks to sort of catch up here at least me aviation sector. but that said, you know, it once in a while and the city needs to kind of slow down. i think this is one of those times do you and how cold the air is. we won't really see any melting anytime soon. and until we get really late into tomorrow and early wednesday, we won't really see much improvement. it describes well, bay city. so they've got the experience like washington, all this, these windows stones where they're pretty common. what about all the places the time? perhaps? i get these extremes how like cutting to kansas city saw there. the 4th grade is no false single day snowball on record 11 inches, which is roughly about 2627 centimeters and they have record stating back in 19 o 4. this entire system tracked about 2200 kilometers across the entire country, and we saw some really impressive totals with it. so in addition to kansas, missouri, ohio saw some really bad totals and it was really just the snow. it was a freezing rain that came down to a purchase of it, a centimeter and

a half of by secretion. nothing of power to so many people as an earlier this afternoon, roughly 300000 americans were without power. and it'll take a while to get the lights back on for them because you know that the freezing rain took the lines down. there's no warm up any time soon. the other thing that i think is really worth mentioning is that in about 3 inch day is we'll have another significant winter storm coming in from texas all way to the middle of the co sign . eventually, new england will see upwards of probably 1015 centimeters worth of snow in texas, and that's a really big deal for them. they're down the southern us, they don't see snow that often to get it possible. snowfall is one thing to get problem snowfall and then ice and freezing rain to as another. and that's kind of what it's looking like right now. so texas could see a really bad storm and we're kind of waiting to see how bad it is at this point. yeah, more on the why matthew, to put you in washington. they say thanks so much. thank you. or. alright,

here's the look at some of the stories making headlines. this l u. s. congress has formerly certified donald trump's victory and the vendors presidential election. joint session was presided over by vice president campbell, a harris. it comes on the 4th anniversary of the storming of the capital when trump support has tried to stop the bottom certification, as we know the 2020 election lebanese army has released footage of its units entering the board of the town of nicola, after the is riley military pulled out its own troops as blah and as well, both of grade to withdrawal forces from southern by then on his part of a $65.00 deal reached in november. and that is old for this hour. up after the break planet i, looking at why a swedish city had to pump a giant cave full of boiling voice. and pretend you don't want to know the answer to that one, right. i'm anthony houghton,

berlin for me and the same here. don't forget the websites always. they are in the morning use before and next fall within the ww dot com. likewise, social's like x and instagram will be back shortly. the .
