and then when the racing questionnaires industry is kind of funny, it feels like there's the, this is the, the news line from ballot canada as prime minister announces his resignation, just intruder says he'll step aside as leader of the ruling liberal policy, but will stay in office until a successor is chosen also on the program south could we investigate to seek a new arrest board for the peach of president you and so kill as he remains hold up in his residence, surrounded by his loyal presidential golf the pa, fully into sold blanket smocks of the eastern united states, crippling travel and knocking off tile to hundreds of 1000

the gulf is welcome to the program. a strong of quake has killed at least 53 people into pets. many of those on trap those thousands of off the salt, salt, the region and the west of china and across the border and the poll. according to china's official sion who uh and use agencies, 6 to 2 people have been injured and rescue work as a searching for people in the rubble quakes epicenter was about 75 kilometers northeast of mount everest, which straddles the china and the pol boda tremors were felt as far away as cop on dew and pots of india. the us geological survey measure the quick of magnitude 7 point one as of a relatively shallow depth of about 10 kilometers. as kind of as justin to go has announced people resign as prime minister under the head of

the liberal party to, to set that policy in fighting have made it clear that he couldn't lead the liberals into the upcoming election. he said he would stay on us prime minister until the potty decided on his replacement. even the elements went on just intruders side as he came out to a know 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, i cannot be the best option in that election. so just keep those internal bustles suddenly became fall to public for through the last month when he tried to remote

his then finance minister, a long time ally christy, a freeland, she resigned, instead of accusing the prime minister, pursuing political gimmicks browser and kind of his 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 loud. you wait with a little 3, all 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 in auto, a forklift wavering. it wasn't there. he was by himself. i feel bad, but on the other hand, we need to move forward with i mean, literally the never, i guess i think he probably should have resigned over

a year ago. it was the reasoning, but i wish you just called it will actually look like i would have been 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 20 full, to give true to his party time to replace the man who left the country for nearly a decade. the gentlest lucy from all the bonnet felt is covering the story from autobahn. she told us that many intruders potty sold his resignation was long overdue. but 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 trolling 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 risk 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. but he will have a legacy. he's left the low number of progressive policies, whether it's child care, whether hits his response to, to climate change. he also got us through the pandemic. many people credit him a saving, saving, lives, keeping the, the economy afloat during the pandemic with other nations were really struggling. he will have an impressive legacy, i think when, when the, his, when history books are written that so we looked on some of the news making headlines. us congress says formally certified donald trump victory in november presidential election. the joint session was presided over by vice president kind of the harris. it's not the full, certainly the 3 of the storming of the capital when from support is trying to stop joe, by the certification of the women of the 2020 election presidential biden has

visited the side of the new year's attack in new orleans that killed 14 people and holding this dozens biden onto his wife, jill led flowers at the memorial, unbuttoned street. a light to met survivors and local law enforcement officers who attended the same is in law school president vladimir putin as attended the russian orthodox christmas service led by the country. our care we'll use one of the most prominent supports us of the war against to crank some orthodox churches mock the holiday. according to the julian calendar on january 7th, last year ukraine switched to observing christmas and assembled those curiously. there came jermel and it has over seen a so successful test of a new into media drained, hypoth sonic ballistic missile. that's according to state media. it's a said to have flown a 12 times the speed of sound before hitting the target of the country's east coast

tongue. claims them is uh, quote, quote, effectively penetrate any defense barrier. south korea's onto corruption. investigate is all seeking a new arrest warrant for the impeach president. doing so. the old, off of the last one expired on monday. investigate is failed to take him into custody. following a stand with the president, secure to service last week, june has refused to comply with prostitute is over. it is short lived in possession of martial law and descend. but he remains hold up in his residence surrounded by hundreds of guns, supporters and opponents. i've been rallying outside now let's go to general is probably an example. he joins us from sole, probably in the arrest for and for you and has expired. give us the latest on what's been happening on the stand of or yeah, president you. so if you're or the suspended president is barricading himself and

his residency, he's shielded by bob wire. he's field it by hundreds of activists to a camping in front of his residence, a basically acting as a human shield. and then he's also sealed by his presidential security service. now this presidents of security services basically acts as a personal admitted to a unit who is very loyal to what you and so if you all, and basically this situation has made it impossible to arrest them. because when ever the investigators try to get near his residence, they will basically outnumbered by the security service. and there was a lot of concerns whether this situation could escalate or not. so here we go, nothing has changed much and it looks like the president doing so if your business band a president is trying to. yeah. when some time and now he's not off the hook yet, is he no, no, clearly not the so he's facing immense public pressure. i'm

a by the latest on said today that will be huge demonstrations against him. then again to investigate or the anti corruption agency is trying to get another arrest warrant which could happen or not. we don't have that confirmed yet. and then of course over all this, the impeachment trial now to give you some context um the present. doing so the, all the clips, the mazda law against this country in early december, and that has outraged the country, and host also outraged the opposition and pots of his own pocket. so it, consequently, they voted to impeach them. and now the constitutional court is reviewing that decision. and so having basically the final say in this matter, and we don't know when this will happen, but next week they will be the next a hearing. and when the constitutional court makes the decision, then we know where the you and so if you all the permanently lose his political power, all might even get back into office to the general assembly and catch with us in the soul. thank you very much.

and all 3 of the far rides, freedom party has been off to the form of government. this follows the collapse of coalition towards between centrist policies, the countries president, and extend the fund that belin has tossed the leader of the freedom party. you have a kick off with forming a new government if he's successful in australia, would have its 1st government led by a far right policy since world war 2. this predicted that and we were the believe would change the course of the country's future. soon the far right feet the body would lead the government. its leader heard particularly now has the job to fund a new government. a decision many here disapprove of their phones as we speak. what's happening right now was very important for us and got a right wing extremists, politician who's calling himself the people's chancellor fits. and the last time

someone called himself that that was 8 of hitler, that this person might get a mandate from the government is unacceptable to us, the stones on talk. but it's, we didn't want to wake up into flashes, country well, and then they'll for retirement system like at home. great. we want to maintain democracy for the high people dollars, fund the fee to bug you, bundle most sports. and the september elections in australia, gaining nearly 29 percent. but since then, the other point is because bodies beat to pharma correlation, forcing the president to task because with, for me, government x is thoughts each semester. kiko is confident of finding viable solutions within the framework of government negotiations. these are the ones this responsibility is due to i asked him that explicitly is have, i have therefore instructed him to enter into talks with the conservatives to form a federal government. and if you have a kicker, will report to me on the progress of these talks on an ongoing basis. but the

prospect of a government that by the far right is leaving these people nervous about us to your future direction. a powerful winter storm is pummeling parts of the eastern us of the sweeping through the midwest. some areas have seen the heaviest snow fall in decades. the storm has been blamed for at least 3 depths . 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 motorists could get back on the road. as the snow continued to pile up, 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 us,

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 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 and the major ologist magic compose. she told us more about the impact of the wind to storm from washington dc. it 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 flights or reagan national airport. the main airport in dc were, were cancelled. and i think as a result of that, so many folks me kinda 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 should have been a reagan national are sort of not in the city. they're 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'll 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 and how cold the air is. we won't really see any melting anytime soon. and until we get really late into tomorrow into early wednesday, we won't really see much improvement. and i took a bunch of them reporting from washington,

d. c. and that's it from me on the news team fund. all i have uh will do is update for you at the top of the hour. of course, don't go away. plan today is off. next. i'm gonna have office in fairly and from the and the whole news, the excellent, the d, w, travel l over the side, 3, food, honest with inside it just local high life. wow. let's go here we go lower. so when it comes to sustain dependency information and trying to do that, when you travel you can have it all on executive. it has to check the bags. so you're planning a trip.
