ban on driving in some areas. there were is that many had ventured up anyway, but the worst was over only to get stranded. this may turn out to be the worst storm in our community history. there are still likely hundreds of people still stuck in vehicles including individuals who tried to drive out in the late night hours last night. this is the festive season in the us, one of the busiest travel periods of the year. and even though thousands of flight delays and cancellations were reported, some passengers were determined to complete the holiday travel. our whole airport shut down. so we

we're going to go from the coldest winter on record for many to probably a very mild new year so that somebody to look 40. so things are slowly improve. let me take it back a couple of days, like how cold it was across a good part of north america. the purple's air, that's the busily cold stuff. but the blues getting right down across the deep south, jumped his newly that around freezing celsius there. last night, chicago minus 18 celsius, that was friday. we go into sat, they minus 12. so we're starting to warm up minus 9 as we go through today, that's a top temperature for to day. and then as we go on into to morrow and the day after that we're up to around minus 3 degrees celsius in chicago by that state touching 6 celsius. so we are getting up to around 6 degrees by wednesday. you see how the yellows are just swept away across much of north america. and even in canada, we're getting about freezing. by the time we come to thursday, by thursday, chicago is up into double figures. so a big rise in temperatures over the next few days, as we head towards the new year, though at the moment was still got by circulation just around that east side of canada. you can see that area of low pressure, just around hudson bay lake effect snow still in place as we go on through the next couple of days. but the next feature to watch out for will ask this one that's going to make his way into the pacific northwest western parts of canada. the remainder of to day then still that snow around. we got some snow sliding across the plains. that'll continue to dig its way further southwards, through or into boxing day, some snow. they're just coming its way into kentucky. moving on behind. and then we got that where to whether that i mentioned, and that when she weather up towards the pacific northwest. so some significant snowfall coming into western canada, extending across the pacific northwest. good parts of california sing a real winfrey mix as we go on into well wednesday.

moscow. will ukraine's president lensky has called for unity in a christmas holiday address to the nation of joy, bro, my gods, no chemicals, he drones can extinguish the christmas dawn. we will see its glow even on the ground in a bomb shelter. simply, we will fill our hearts with warmth and light. no muscles can hurt them. they will break against our steel spirit, and our fight will continue unabated when it's not threatened by planned or emergency blackouts. and we will never feel a lack of courage and invincibility a lot more than one that shot the sweets we will celebrate our holidays. as always, we will smile and rejoice as always the difference as one. we will not wait for a miracle because we will create it ourselves while john stupid correspondent, his life for us in kiva and charles, no rest buy in the war, of course in ukraine. so just bring us up to speed on what's happening today. well, so yes, we had air raid sirens across the country earlier this morning. no reports so far, at least of any of those drones or cruise missiles landing shooting their targets. of course, this is an almost daily event as ukraine's continues to struggle to repair this vital infrastructure that has put millions of ukrainians in a situation where they have to endure rolling blackouts and these harsh winter conditions not enough heat. meanwhile, the, it's ongoing fighting and all the areas that we've been reporting on now for 4 days, most notably that town or bar moot in donnette, ski and intense fighting the city that the russians don't seem to be making any real progress in. but real close combat bottles ongoing that we've heard reports a couple of days ago that they were more probing attacks by the russians kept trying to circle the city from the north and the south. we understand that that situation has not changed. there's also reports of war fighting in a town, just south of buffalo, very close to the russian occupied town. oh, don't ask. and that's the town of what's incredible is up to 10 months of war. they really hasn't been any move made by the russians or any real progress by russian forces towards you. but as i say, a lot of heavy fighting, we understand going on a interestingly as well, possibly an indication of a new front being opened up by the ukrainians. although it's impossible to to verify. but we've been hearing reports of heavy shedding of a child of the town called to talk. mack, now that is south of that parisha between upper regia and russian occupied russian people i city of many to pull the understanding is, is that the ukrainians, a targeting supply lines in mike am and some app military analysts will tell you that the as the plan is for ukrainian push in that southerly direction may mouth critical infrastructure here remains. i am in, in a very bad shape that the authorities are saying that the electricity situation in cave and the surrounding areas remains critical. yesterday we went out with one of these mobile defense units so desperately trying to protect the cab at all and the wider country from these drone strikes. and this is our report. pointing sky wood and on high alert is soviet anti aircraft. gun was built in 1982 the men at its controls are members of a mobile air defense unit, trying to protect the ukraine in capital and surrounding area from russian. so called kamikaze drone and missile attacks. some of the ammunition was taken from a similar russian weapon captured around butcher. the early days of the war. other soldiers carry portable heat seeking soviet post soviet and western stinger missiles. the commander says they are effective up to a range of 6 kilometers, but often find it difficult to latch onto the drones that russia is using to target ukraine's electricity grid. veronica, because associates lottery said you shaheed $131.13 kamikaze drones are low speed visible and loud, but they have a small heat signature. it can be difficult to lock on to the target. and the missile might miss anti aircraft guns work. most effectively against the shade, but they have a problem if the drone flies at night or conditions of poor visibility. russian forces have carried out at least a 1000 drone and cruise michelle attacks targeting energy infrastructure in the last 2 and a half months. most like this one are intercepted but many gets through. so millions of ukrainians are suffering blackouts and poor heating in freezing winter conditions. ukraine's western packers have sent air defense weapons such as this ne, some system. and last week the u. s. announced it is supplying a patriot missile system. but training how to use it can take months. one missile costs up to $4000000.00. the commander of this unit says it will be used to project only the most important potential targets and cannot be deployed to intercept drones and cruise missiles. as we were filming this mobile, a defense unit, the sound of a siren can be heard in the distance. and as a result, as you can imagine, these men are now on the move. we were not allowed to follow the soldiers because of the risk of giving away their locations, put in another field close to cave. this mobile a defense unit practices using machine gun, the range of the well 3 kilometers. you can easily take down the cam ecology drones that fly around a 160 kilometers an hour. only get eyes on 1st. it's almost like a squad history or drones or less difficult missiles are, but there are observational difficulties because they can fly over forests that hide them or over busy roads, whether approach noise is drowned out by traffic. despite the challenges they face, there are hundreds of men like these across the country. constantly ready for a radio alert, focused on the skies. chaw strafford al jazeera key of region. ukraine. well, plenty more. had here on the out is there a news are including these have gone up very expensive was were, can even of what you can buy

secretary of state antony lincoln says he's deeply concerned by the taliban decision, as that it will have a devastating impact on afghan people. joining me now from cobble is remy's alack, but off the un deputy special representative and humanitarian coordinator for afghanistan. deputy representative, thanks very much for joining us on the program. i just get your we got to get through, but contrast your initial reaction to what you're hearing from where you are. well, practice of limited humanity, inaction, the mental issue of the british dependence of action. so obviously in the population cannot be delivered in the situation. then the operating principles. let's take this now. what sort of complaints are they talking about? how they, the ministry explained in any way to you, or any other end jose in the country as to what the problem is with this. i think the letter was sent to us, mentions the use of the jobs as one of the reasons we right now. meeting the work is to understand better than what we see behind the session. so what answers will you be asking from then, considering the 1st stays about why not african women could they? could they not be part of this ruling? i mean this, it's a gray area at the moment about what the definition is. of this edicts coming from the taliban. thank you very much. i believe that we will be asking them, who are you look all embedded for the participation of the community. our programs are not this and then these are integrated unless you have full access and able to participate in assessment, the body and discharge of services and assistance to the affected population. it will be very difficult for us to deliver on the need to in this difficult months. so this is our message to the fact of what it is and that's what you'll be discussing them. ok, there isn't generalities or general terms should i say, could you just give us a specific example of how this would affect one aid worker in either the but all rural areas and how that impacts on the african community in a specific area. sure it is very simple, really easy. are we just the needs for the media and a distribution, a bunch b, digitization item warm blanket or anything. we need to make sure that the med participated in the assessment that are set. and the 2nd we need to make sure that women are there to deliver the directly to them. and if this is not possible, then the delivery of that a lot of the bus so for example, areas such as midwifery, gynecology, cancer awareness and treatment. or where does these are really very difficult issues to deal with when it comes to women participating in these areas. that they can't actually work in, in public service doing the sort of job. absolutely, it's impossible to deliver those services out in all those critical areas of gary g admissions are we didn't receive information from the news . they were felt the bad is not applies to the health sector and they find that i know you have a very difficult position in the u. n. a. in kabul, acting as a neutral arbiter. but at the end of the day, if the taliban refused the un requests, they then reject surely the international community as a whole. so they can't, than appeal for help when they've already rejected the help logical argument. this is a very logical argument. brandy speaking will be difficult, was charged the services. then the principles are the only way we can deliver in the system, not just a around a, through the application of the universal principles that implies rational independence. and that implies application of principle, gender equality, women's role in that process is on. so i know that women and vulnerable vote pop me vulnerable groups will be most affected. but is it, isn't it sort of now time for the international community to you might say grow a spine and say, you know, if you don't want us that, then we'll leave. you do what you want to do. you look after your population and you deal with the consequences as the taliban. i would argue that international community provided a lot of spine from the very beginning of the situation for last year in the state and deliver. we ask the people in the most in the morning for the sisters receiving health services for us to be able to continue that service. the undeniable condition application of the universe and principles of operational ability to work with the service about it. it will be very difficult for us to maintain the scale of the people that we will be very interested to see what comes out of your meeting with the taliban. and we look forward to welcoming you again back on the program. thanks for joining us on al jazeera. thank you very much for that. iran supreme court says it'll accept an appeal from

that is only a couple of miles wide. but within that, anyone experience is what we call snow blindness or white outs, where you can't see the front of your car. if you're in it to drive at that point, people can't figure out where to go. they become stranded and rescue is not possible either because the vehicle is there, no one can see it. and even the empties and emergency medical staff can't get around. this band is continuing for now over 24 hours. it is going to slide and pack different communities. it went just to the north of buffalo, and that's where it's dropped more than 2 feet of snow. and a lot of this is going sideways in 60 mile an hour winds. that's what creates that white out condition or snow blindness. and it also takes that 2 feet of snow and turns them into 8 foot drifts, which makes getting through roads almost impassable. one of the small scale effects of this where it may be okay where you are. but once you begin to travel, if you become stuck in this, that's when you're trapped and you can't get out. we're finding that a lot of folks are trying to be rescued, but their cell phones are starting to fail after 12 hours of being trapped in their

options for keeping its people warm. this winter, winter in berlin in 2022. it's a cold and dark time with energy prices elevated by the war and ukraine for some people. there are few ways to keep

course, we'll have an effect on, on the, on the consumer prices as well. but again, this is going to last, at least a few months, probably if you get through and if it's being implemented, which also, you know, has legal administrative hurdles to pass. then it will have an effect on, on, on the gas price in the next winter. at christmas markets like these most people's minds are far from volatile
