exercise included to us aircraft carriers. and the u. s. navy said that this exercise was designed to preserve a free and open indoor pacific. now china considers taiwan rogue chinese province that will inevitably be reunited with the mainland, and beijing has not ruled out using force in order to achieve this. in recent months, its increase the number of military exercises taking place close to taiwan and the highest number of incursions recorded and took place in october, which included 56 chinese war planes which flew close to tie one on the same day. now, begging does the denies that these exercises are designed to intimidate the ty when he's government. but analysts say that that's exactly what they're meant to do. now the united arab emirates says it's intercepted and destroyed

undermine the security, their structure in europe, and to rebuild his fears with influential jar completed a update. we are going to have a video conference with secretary of lincoln of the us in the to continue our drawn coordination during the whole process. the to be in union has been very much in touch coordinating with the us being form before and after meeting with her butler. josie now live from the french capital and natasha leading up to this meeting has been a great deal of international diplomatic flurry. trina, us and nato, into an out of ukraine to get their position, but ukraine will be high on the agenda. yes, i mean, for 2 weeks, there have been meetings and talks on the ukraine crisis. this one in brussels are just the latest european e u foreign ministers meeting to discuss the crisis and ukraine. they are concerned, of course, with that russian military buildup. they are concerned that moscow could attack or ukraine. now what we understand is at the end of this meeting, e u foreign ministers will look at reasserting the use position that there would be a strong and large, devastating sanctions package imposed on russia were moscow to attack ukraine. that's going to be the message we understand from e foreign ministers. we don't know exactly what those sanctions would be. it could be anything from a visa, benz, an assets being frozen of top russian

happy. the blinking is part of this meeting and we understand that the e u. s and e, you are coordinating a lot more closely. of course it would it be fair to say, natasha, that some european countries haven't always been on the same page when it comes to how to deal with russia of this particular scenario that said, folding up the could those divisions perhaps be mended at this meeting in brussels well, i think it's clear that a e foreign ministers will certainly want to put on a show of unity at the end of this meeting because there have been divisions that have been showing up in the last few weeks on how to deal with russia. so should russia a tag, not all members of all is being on the same page. they are not necessarily agreed on what sort of sanctions should be impose the severity of those sanctions. what they will want to do though, in this meeting, is show that they can be united, but of course, anything in the u takes unanimity. so wouldn't necessarily be easy, but it seems the adamant to say, look, we're going to put our differences aside on this. they certainly won't want to repeat what was perceived as a failure in 2014. after russia invaded crimea, and the e took several months to impose sanctions dashboard with the very latest parish. thank you know, the u. k. has joined the you and submit during some of our staff from the ukrainian embassy sighting

months. now the government has been divided since october about the investigation into the 2020 bay route port explosion. the standoff has happened. does the countries economic crisis worsens? say, dakota has more from beirut. economic hardships are war. sitting 80 percent of the population is now poor. so there is an urgent need for the authorities to take measures to alleviate the suffering of the lebanese people. but what they have been doing over recent years really is adopting ad hoc measures which are proving really to be on sustainable. at 1st, they use the foreign currency reserves in the central bank to subsidize basic goods . then they ran out of money and now they're using whatever is left in the central bank hard currency. injecting millions of dollars in the market every single day to ensure that the local currency doesn't the value even further. it has lost 90 percent of its value in the past 2 years. so yes, people are struggling now. the state budget is on the table of the cabinet, but that's the budget has to be part of a wider economic recovery plan, in order for lebanon to reach a deal with the international monetary fund for a bailout package. this countries in dire need of dollars, but the safe budget falls short of fulfilling the conditions of the 1st of all, there's no unified exchange rates. and more importantly, there is no reforms. the i m f, for example, has been saying the electricity sector, it's inefficient, is corrupt. it needs to be reformed, and independent regulatory authority needs to be created. instead, in the budget, what the authorities decided to do is to put more money into a state institution, which is costing the state billions of dollars a year. so the authorities are falling short on taking the measures needed to stop the economic collapse all the while. people's money trapped them bank. they're taking to the streets. they're angry because the authorities are planning, at least it's on the table. it's an option to convert dollar deposit into the local currency, which has the value in northeastern syria. that's been more fighting between us. but kurdish forces an eyesore fighters, the armed group attack to prison, 3 its members. the violence has killed more than 70 people in the us that coalition say the threat has been contained a peg has the story. going to come from? this is the moment i saw detainees escaped from prison in northern syria. for days i still fight to some is tempted to free this fellow member. it's unclear how many have managed to escape. how many have been killed or recaptured by kurdish forces who are being supported by us there strikes the prison has is more than 1200 prisoners from 50 different nationalities. it's seen as the most significant attack by i feel since the armed group was defeated in the region 3 years ago. this footage shows ice and flight is breaking into prison. a pile of bodies dressed in uniform lane corner. kurdish forces say they have the upper hand dice will have it . now dice exist only in the prison. i mean, apart from the prison, they don't exist any way. so they are controlling the prison only, and we are surrounding them. they do have weapons, i don't deny that, but they can't do anything with that. they might run out of ammunition and therefore they don't fight back residents near the prison or fling the fighting. but it's been bombing bull, pain and conflict since yesterday, and young people were slaughtered. what is happening? the situation is catastrophic. we fed the shelling and conflict. we got scared for our children and flood. there's also reports i sell fighters have broken into homes and killed people. as i slaughtering diane, members broken and killed 4 men, our neighbors, 2 of them were brothers. as the fighting continues, the fear now is whether this attack means a significant return by the armed group or a one off attempt to replenish its numbers for a future front against kurdish forces. i said bake al jazeera with no 13000000 citizens and northern china or a free to leave her homes. after a month, long covert lockdown was lifted. the city of shan. we'll shut down as the government imposed a 0 tolerance policy before the start of the beijing winter olympics next month. now thousands have been protesting in washington dc against cove. at 19 vaccine rules, demonstrators say getting vaccinated wearing masks of personal choices of the government has no right to impose them. the are centers for disease control say both measures are needed to protect against infection. article haine has more from the u. s. capital. there been protester out the pandemic across the country, but this is really the 1st large scale one to come to the streets of washington d. c. now they're building themselves as anti mandate against masks against vaccines. but when it comes to the whole idea of mandating vaccines, the bite administration has been dealt a lot of setbacks on that. the supreme court said that they can't force employers that have more than $100.00 employees to force vaccinations or, or require testing and a judge just at least temporarily put on hold the by the ministrations demand that all federal workers and contractors get vaccinated. and it was clear talking to people in the crowd that they really were against the vaccine. even the speakers on stage. many of them seen things that were simply not true. we've no doubt for 2 years that there are cheap se highly effective and widely available medicines that can treat this disease. i'm, you know, stand up for my right to be able to say that i do not want the vaccine. i care about my body. i care about the effect that this is having on people, and i don't wish to separate them. i live in the united states of america, and this is a free country, local official. so they were concerned about this event in part because of its size organizer. so they expected about 20000 people from all over the country. and again, this was a rally against masks and vaccine mandates. well, here in the district of columbia, if you want to set foot in a business like a restaurant or pretty much go inside anywhere, you have to have a mask on. and you have to show proof of vaccination for that reason. the d. c. police have extra officers on the street in case anyone tries to break the rules. belgium, please suffice. ward cannon and take us to break up a protest against cro virus rules. tens of thousands. march to the launch is demonstration seen in the capital, brussels for months. now they oppose the vaccination health passes required to enter some public places. scientists in israel say a false shot of finds this covert 19 vaccine. triples protection from severe illness for the over 60 days, and that twice as resistant to infection. but an additional booster doesn't provide complete immunity. they say he's really started receiving a full stoves earlier this month. dr. krishna or the coma is director of the duke of global health innovations. sunday's as a full shop might offer some extra protection, but thinks most countries will stop at 3. we should remember that about 52 percent of everybody in the world has been fully vaccinated, but that rate is only about 10 percent across the continent of africa. so we still have a lot of work to do to get 1st 2nd doses to be protected. and also for the 3rd dose is that we have more and more data is highly protective relative to 2 doses, especially for omicron so well there may be a little bit of relative additional protection with a 4th dose. i don't think that beyond special circumstances with a very high risk population that, that's going to become the norm for many countries. the good thing is the global vaccine supply is picking up pretty significantly. we're now producing over a 1000000000 and a half doses a month. we've got new vaccines, especially the protein sub unit vaccines that are coming online. so the supply scenario looks promising over the coming weeks and months. but we should be really clear that there needs to be transparent and equitable allocation of those, especially to get high risk population vaccinated everywhere in the world. and in places like israel at a relatively small population. and they've taken a very aggressive stance with vaccination so far. but what we're seeing is that the role of vaccines is going to be less about protection, complete immunity, against infections in transmission, and really much more about making sure that individuals are protected against severe disease. and that we're using it to protect health systems as they become vulnerable. so in that scenario, really global vaccination is the only path forward. not until the parliament will meet on monday to choose a successor to present. sergio, my fidela whose turn is expiring full, but prime minister will be able to, scone has withdrawn from the election, but he's still trying to influence the vote. as out of

of billions of dollars and you recovery funds. the worry is if he's no longer prime minister, elite recovery could go off track. many people can be president of the public while as a brand new or draggy is not easily replaceable. so ease much more useful as a premium. the election held in parliament will likely go on for several rounds until a candidate gains enough votes. whoever wins will have to try and help italy avoid political crises. and to tries to solidify a sustainable recovery from the pandemic. adarine, i'll just euro rome, french fashion designer theory mcglenn has died at
