s. for leaking military secrets, the u. s. one, it's appeal at the high court in london with judges overturning an earlier ruling. that assange would be a suicide risk if you lost sanctuary in britain. a 50 year old australian face is up to a 175 years in jail, if convicted on several charges, including publishing classified military documents about the wars in afghanistan and iraq marine baba and the ports from outside the high court in london. with this decision is clearly a big set back for the campaign to free julian assange. now, lawyers for the u. s. back in october. all you hear the term fe julian assigned to would not necessarily be held in solitary confinement in a so called super max prison in the u. s. if he were extradited. and in fact, they said that there had been assurances diplomatic assurances that he could serve any jail sentence in australia. the judges here now effectively deciding that those assurances over roy age the risk of suicide by julian assange, which was presented as a major factor of the original

the u. s. has reported, he released all migrant families from its detention facilities and now being trach with uncle brace versus our white house correspondent, kimberly how kit has more. this is a campaign promise that the u. s. president made that he would deliver a more humane immigration policy. certainly he set out to make some changes, but a lot of the immigration policy under the trump administration remains in place in terms of the statement coming from the agency task with overseeing all of this. it's known as immigration, customs enforcement or ice. i says in its statement, it's committed to ensuring that all those in our custody resided safe, secure, and humane environment. and under appropriate conditions of confinement. ice is continuing to make nimble operational changes at its facilities in response to shifting conditions along the southwest border. now terms of those shifting consist, conditions, ah, that means sharp increase. in the case of one crossing in yuma, arizona went t

s. infections. new york state is reported 3 straight days of record cases, and the state of emergency has been declared in washington dc. alan fisher sent this report on the capital growing lines for testing, growing numbers of those infected, growing concern, where this is all heading in america, across the country. people are spending hours in line to get a covered test plan to say economy, careful, you know, given the mask on indoors, even though it's not mandated, it's trying to be saved as fossil got 2 little ones. so my concern is mostly with them ones vaccinated and one is not because it's too little to vaccinate. so we feel very secure in our workforce. we just make sure that we're safe to receive your ports or getting busier to as people head off for the christmas and new year holidays. there's a water that that could lead to another search and a few weeks and it could put further strain on hospital systems across the u. s. many states already seeing double digit jumps in hospital admission

so the u . s. a sorta, sorta by choice withdrawn from the south caucuses, not entirely, but it seated diplomatic territory to turkey to russia, as well as the u. s. may well have seated influence from the south caucuses, but actually, it's still a pretty big player. in turkey still has the intellect airbase that the turks, however, did by russian air defense systems, which angered the u. s. is this is one got to has to do with another is this normalization of relations with armenia, a gift to the u. s. and saying that we are doing some of the things you want us to do, just don't take away l at offense system on turkey . the enter perspective towards the goals are in line with the work in the work and us and must be anytime if there are normalization, we want to get peace in the region and we're more than that. it is again, can just change the wider it's served. the american way, but right. you know, right that it's on the field isn't active, but you know, they just scroll again. they're working on

the u. s. agency is warning of serious consequences. as hunger rises, the country's been on the brink of famine since 2016 because of the civil war that the world food program says the 5000000 people. a close to starvation that speak to a be a turf up who is a senior spokesperson with the world food program. she joins us now live from cairo . good to have you with us. so 5000000 people just a step away from starvation. this actually though, potentially affects many more people, doesn't it? yes, absolutely. a funding conscious forcing the world full jump. this katy back food, the systems that means reducing food rations to 8000000 people in yemen. these cuts the coming of the worst possible time for the 13000000 people who are dependent on the wealth for programs, assistance to survive. 5000000 people are on the brink of a fan of famine. and these are the ones that we're going to keep the food rations in tax, but that is a huge risk to more millions, more, who are basically surviving every day on very meager resources. so we're talking a

in the u. s. the number of infections is also increased by 40 percent compared to last month, while the number in hospital have risen by around 45 percent of micron is predicted to be the dominant strain by january. let sir cross over to our broadcast central london. when the barker is standing by a neve rarely in a the holiday season lube is very closely. we're in this new waiver in the u. k. and set the across most of europe. and certainly the british government wondering what to do next. yes, the british government is in an extremely difficult position because the prime minister boyish johnson knows that if he backs new restrictions that he could well face a major rebellion from m. p. 's within his own routing, conservative party only a few days ago. a 100 m p 's rejected the government's plans to introduce covert passes for people attending large scale events or storms and how to rely on opposition and peace or support instead. so on top of that, they have also been a series of mounting concer

the migrants plans to reach the u. s. have also been delayed by the reinstatement of the remain in mexico policy. it forces migrants to wait across the border while the applications are being assessed. now to a city famous for its cold war war way, east is meeting west in a new exhibition company came reports from berlin. the cool and the cold showcases all sorts of and from that defining period in german history, it's a window on a world gone by pitting communism against capitalism. the real against the abstract and iconic leaders against leading icons from an era when the message was as profound as the art itself. artist help us to understand the systems we are living in. and very often i think artists are, you know, showing us that you can live against it and that you can stand for the other in the other perspective. and so i hope that, that visitors really see that, you know, also at these times, but also at our times now, artists are telling us about the, the politics we're living in. this exhibition focuses on life

now, lawyers for the u. s. back in october. all you hear the term they julian assigned would not necessarily be held in solitary confinement in a so called super max prison in the u. s. if he were extradited. and in fact, they said that there had been assurances diplomatic assurances that he could serve any jail sentence in australia. the judges here now effectively deciding that those assurances overrides the risk of suicide by julian assange, which was presented as a major factor at the original hearing in the lower court lawyer for the u. s. also said that the court needed to take into effect into consideration. the fact that julian assange now has 2 young children with his partner, stella morris. now, she was actually in court on friday and spoke shortly off to the decision came. i think a high court affected all the medical evidence and the conclusion that the magistrate implemented expedited and claim unrestrained condition by placing it will drive him to take on life an expedition in practice. yet the high court fighting

but it has been a lot of criticism for a long time about the u. s. u k. expiration process. i think this is another example of where, where it proved to be going to massively in favor of the u. s. yeah, as you're talking about a moment ago, of course, this is the day from the nobel committee is or what the peace prize to, to journalists for their fights for price freedom. part of this, if i understand correctly, as far as the julian funds case was concerned, was about his claim that he was acting as a journalist at the time the us maintaining that no, he wasn't, he was a private citizen. and again, this open this, this definition, if you like this, this choice of definition, interpretation of what a journalist actually is, is going to be key to this. but again, could set precedents for the future. nothing. that's right. it's i think ever we're looking it very closely to see you know, how this plays, not nate has he was in the threshold when it comes to actual trial. what do you think accused though they've gotten, we appreciate you joining us now does either. so thank you ve

but no, it's just less than 40 percent that on vaccinated here in the u. s. that still quite a significant number, and if you break those figures down, you will find that most of the people who aren't vaccinated identify as republicans . so it really doesn't matter what joe biden or the white house says. there are a lot of people out in the united states to say, we're never going to listen to what this guy's got to say. even though he's saying this could actually save your life. and if you break down the figures even more, you will see that the number of people who are dying tend to be in read state. that is republican state. and the majority of those who are dying are republican. and so that is a real what a note. i had that the fact that we're coming in to the christmas a new year break. remember a month ago we were talking about thanksgiving. how is a big travel day? people are going to big family gatherings. nothing compared to christmas and new year. in fact, from tonight, people are going to start heading off on their christmas and new year vacations. a

but of course, it's not just the u. s. that disagrees with this is also a growing number of western countries as well as human rights groups that have compared the treat middle described it as amounting to genocide. now in regards to this move, china says that the u. s. is stretching the concept of national security and using it to suppress chinese companies. it says that it's not only having chinese businesses, but it also underlines international trade rules. in response to this, beijing has vowed to implement it or in measures to protect chinese companies. but we still don't have any details yet as to what those might be. chili's next president will be elected on sunday him. what's being billed is the most unpredictable vote in a long time. the runoff is being f is between rather a far right. conservative and a progressive social democrat and latin america editor lucy, a newman hans. the latest from santiago. after 2 years of constant protests that too often end in violence, especially on fridays, got little cd is closi

as we examined the u. s. each row in the world on al jazeera. ah, so we've said we'll meet at any time in any place. they are the ones who are not prepared to do it. the u. s. envoy on iran tells al jazeera to her on isn't ready for direct nuclear talks. ah, my money inside this valve there live from doha. also coming up the u. s. president office, his support to ukraine's lead a during a phone call while russian says it's not to blame for the military build up on the border.

more on that worsening situation in the u. s . now with alan fisher in washington dc. growing lines for testing, growing numbers of those infected, growing concern where this is all heading in america, across the country, people are spending hours in line to get a covered test plan to say economy carefully. now, given the last on indoors, even though it's not mandated, genovese save as fossil got 2 little ones. so my concern is mostly with them. ones vaccinated and one is not too little to vaccinate. so we feel very secure and in walworth was we just made sure that we're safe to receive your ports or getting busier to as people head off for the christmas and new year holidays. there's a water that, that could lead to another search in a few weeks. and it could put further strain on hospital systems across the u. s. many states already seeing double digit jumps in hospital admissions. those most at risk, people who have refused to get vaccinated or boosted. if you get infected, you could transmit that to someone else who might be v

there's no official u. s embassy, anti pay for example. but on the other hand, they sort of want china to leave taiwan alone, and the u. s. has suggested they would defend taiwan militarily in certain circumstances. are reported. united states is may clear, did china did it, would defend taiwan on its own chinese attack as unprovoked. and on the flip side is made clear to taiwan that it will not come to taiwan. deed only if the chinese a type is provoked. so that's the big picture. if things spin out of control, we could potentially be talking about a war between the us and china. it means that when things are tense around taiwan, it's a big deal and things have been getting tons under president donald trump, the you got a lot cozier with taiwan than previous presidents and biden's administration has effectively continued in the same direction over in taiwan. the political climate shifted in 2016 when president sign went to go over from the prob, aging president. she's been pretty outspoken against basing. and the question of taiwan status

so i think that there are a lot of red lines there that the u. s. has agreed to discuss some of these issues, but these are big asked and it was like a sphere of influence. again that, that put in, wants to put in place just completed the summit. this kind of might give you a barometer of how some of the europeans, not all member states are members of nato, but they had said that there will be sanctions if russia continues to increase military activity in ukraine. so there are a lot of tensions. it's quite interesting the timing of all of this because putin has, we're coming up to the 30th anniversary of the demise of the soviet union. so be december 25th. and it seems i couldn't put a lot of things, you know, lining up all the ducks. he has a initiated, he published a statement saying how he worked as a cab driver in the aftermath of the collapse of the soviet union. so these anniversaries are very, very important to him. and it's almost laying out these incredible red lines that he knows nato and the u. s. cannot agree to it's kind of beefing up h

we deplore and firmly opposed that we urge the u. s. to correct its wrongdoing, and we will take all necessary measures to uphold the rights and interests of chinese institutions. and companies and a diplomatic appointment was delayed to allow the weight of forced labor act to pass. alan fisher has more on that from washington dc. so the u. s. senate has no confirmed jo biden's nominee to be the new ambassador to china. he is nicholas boncey as a veteran diplomat, but the whole process was essentially on hold, because a number of republican senators wanted to push through that what they call the weaker force labor prevention act. now it passed through the house and it has passed through the senate by unanimous consent. and this essentially says that any individual or company important goods from the jing jang area of china must be able to prove that there was no forced labor involved in the goods that were produced. a number of human rights organizations have said that the mainly muslim wiggers are being used in force labor camps. now,

but the greatest concern in the u. s. at present is that vast amount of americans who remain and vaccinated despite this mounting surge in the infection rate in day. thank you very much for that update. mike hannah, life ross in washington, d. c. for many miller now has more on the impact of the army. kron variant from johannesburg, explodes in south africa, saying that while they do recognize global daughter, that this recommendation may be premature in that south african daughter shows no adverse effects based on studies in south africa. we're currently health workers are taking part in a study around a booster shot of the j and j vaccine. and they say that we know adverse effects and there aren't any alarming signals to indicate that perhaps they should put j and j on hold. in fact, health expert to say that in the coming days, they may make an announcement around allowing booster shots of join j and j to the general public. they've also said they've always known that there are certain risks around vaccines, not just j

the u. s. are accelerating as the one to search continues. the number of infections is increased by 40 percent compared to last month, while the numbers in hospitals have risen by around 45 percent. experts predict the on the chrome variant will soon become the dominant strain there. a micron is increasing rapidly and we expect it to become the dominant strain in the united states as it has and other countries. in the coming weeks, we've seen cases of oma crime among those who are both vaccinated and boosted. and we believe these cases are milder or is symptomatic because of vaccine protection. and fans has announced major public parties and fireworks will be banned on new year's eve. as corona vas infections continue to rise there. the country is reporting an average of $50000.00 new infections each day. the u. k. has seen a record number of cars 19 cases, the 3rd day in a row. more than $93000.00 infections were registered on friday. total case numbers nationwide have increased by about 39 percent in just a week. and avenue is more than 180

as the u. s. withdrew its troops in august. let's go live now to the un altitude. kristen salumi has been following that session that there. what's been decided, kristen well, what the security council has just done. it is not removing sanctions from afghanistan far from it. it is clarifying that humanitarian aid is exempt from sanctions. this was done at the request of the united states with support of the entire council. it passed unanimously because of concern that the afghan economy is on the verge of collapse without cash getting into the country. the united states and a world banks froze nearly $10000000000.00 of afghan money after the taliban took control because of sanctions that prevent the taliban blood prevent the dealing with the taliban. so the united nations has been warning that more cash is needed in the country in order to prevent mass starvation. they warn that half the country is now on the facing food and security. and the situation could get much worse because of the lack of cash because of a drought and cove it and so on. so this resolution a

so the u. s. has joined with you and other countries, pushback multilaterally on the kinds of practices that we see in russia and china. it's a scary world where tyranny and slave labor become routine. it's important that the west suppose that we can do that diplomatically. we can do that through dialogue and essentially building with russia and china, if they will. but if they don't, and they persist in their ways, then there's clearly going to be a cost to pay for them. the us and the west will also pay. and what does that cost? he's saying is china worried about the cost? no, i don't think china is really to worry about what the americans are pushing at the moment. jiving in china. it has a lisa who is incredibly confident in so any, in the direction of travel which that china is going when can question that and they are good ground to questioned whether the direction of troubleshooting picks. china is the white. one is the good ones, but he is very competent. there he is, right? so he is not s

yeah, i do appreciate the fact that it's guided it's sort of requested from the u. s. but the u. s. would obviously go to nato, but everybody looks to you at the u. s. a guidance really on all of this. and so therefore, what one does it as sort of an after russia sort of invaded an annex ukrainian territory. it's demanding nato withdrawal, or else, i mean, nato isn't ukraine in terms of an uncertain countries are in terms of supporting and training ukrainian personnel. it's just a complete red line for the russians. and what one does, how nato is going to react to that particular part of the, the request. well, yes, just completed the summit. this kind of might give you a barometer of how some of the europeans, not all you member states are members of nato. but they said that there will be sanctions if russia continues to increase military committee in ukraine. so there are a lot of tensions. it's quite interesting the timing of all of this because put in has, who are coming to the 30th anniversary of the demise of the soviet union. so be december 25th and it seems i couldn't put a
