hello barbara, sarah, this is al jazeera life from london, also coming up degree and forces that say the ethiopian military's air and ground offensive against them is intensifying and star trek after a william shatner goes in the space for real, becoming the oldest person to make the trip i hope i never recover from ah, as households of real, from extraordinary rises in energy prices, the european union has announced ford, it describes as a toolbox to tackle the spike. the northern hemisphere is heading into winter and natural gas prices across europe are about 6 times higher than this time. last year . the ear recommends short and medium term measures including tax cuts,

emergency support for companies and households, and stepping up investment in renewables. the sky rocketing prices of partially being blamed on russia. withholding gas supplies to europe. president putin denies using energy as a weapon. labeling the accusations politically motivated, glover, the international energy agency is calling for governments to triple. they are spending on clean energy or extreme market volatility will continue. it says nearly 4 trillion dollars must be put into renewable energy by 2030. natasha butler has more now from brussels, reducing taxes on energy bills and financial help for poor households. were among the recommendations laid out by europe's energy commissioner to help member states shield consumers across the block from spiraling costs. our immediate priority is to protect europe's consumers. especially the most vulnerable 2nd. we have to make our entire system better prepared and more resilient,

so that we don't have to face a similar situation in the future. natural gas prices have stored in europe in recent weeks, partly driven by a sergent demand. as countries emerge from loc downs, natural gas accounts for a quarter of the european union's energy needs. the majority of that is imported into the block from countries including how jerry a no way and qatar, but mainly russia. some say that the kremlin is fueling the price rise by failing to boost gas supplies in order to pressure the you to prove the controversial nod stream to pipeline. at an energy conference in moscow though, present, vladimir putin said russia was ready to increase supply elected in the and of course, really to do sure. if they ask us to increase deliveries, we are ready to do so we are increasing them as much as our partners are asking us to avoid future energy crises. the u commissioner says countries must focus on

transitioning away from fossil fuels to renewables. some analysts say that would also help your become more self reliant when it comes to energy. if we had had in europe national governments that did 20 years ago, renovate the homes, like we knew how to do that, didn't roll out solar heating systems as soon as the seventy's, because this is super haul technology, we would be in a much better situation today. would be consuming much less gas. we will be much less reliance on russia. and the current gas prices that we see would have been far less impactful for europe in some european countries, including from spain, greece was more from the youth and recommendations they are pushing for e u wide measures, including coordinating gas purchases and joint gas storage. the blogs leaders will discuss the crisis at a summit next week with the onset of winter pressure is mounting to find solutions

. latasha butler, i'll just sarah brussels. the u. s. government is stepping up efforts to fix global supply chain issues which have led to shortages of many goods and higher prices. the backlog is also threatening to slow economic recovery, reduced factory output over the past 18 months and shipping log germs are being blamed. u. s. president joe biden says, as administration will work with companies and ports to alleviate bottlenecks, some ports will start operating 24 hours a day. a shortage of computer trips has caused the tech giant apple, for example, to reduce production of its latest i phone. well, our white house corresponding kimberly hank, how kit joins us live and now and kimberly, president biden is actually speaking about this right now. do we know what he's announcing? yeah, well one of the major announcements is the fact that the ports of not only long los angeles, but also long beach will be operating 247. that's

a big deal because around the world, that is the case for most international ports, but not the u. s, so the white house has now brokered this agreement with the major union that works to offload a lot of these container ships. the fact that now this will be operating continuous continuously is something the white house hopes. will at least begin to make a dent in this backlog because right now there are dozens of container ships waiting to off load at those ports. and then there's a problem to with, once that material is off loaded stuff we shipped across the united states. and this is another issue, given the fact that there have been shortages of labor when it comes to truck drivers. and also those folks that would work to load the shelves of the stores where these goods are intended to be sold. so he would see how the problem has compounded. it's not just the fact that there has been an increase in demand for goods since the global pandemic. but at the same time, there's been

a problem of labor. and so the u. s. president talking now about how he has been meeting with some of the ceo from major as shipping suppliers, like fedex, as well as u. p. s. even retailers like wal mart how they can work together to come up with even further solutions to ensure that this backlog that exists in the united states is something that the white house hopefully temporary. yet of course, supply chain issues a have been similar in many other parts of the world, but i guess these measures by the u. s. government doesn't look like that might be enough to solve the problem. well, the white house believes that this is temporary, it's something that it insists as the global economy turns back on, will be fleeting and will be resolved by this time next year. but some of the president's critics and concluding republicans on capitol hill are less optimistic because they know another problem that exists. and that is inflation. in the united

states that has been, i had of the projections by the federal government for some time. and it's affecting things that americans need most like fuel as well as housing prices and the president's. c critics are arguing that this is because of the biding policies, including one of the $1.00 trillion dollar payouts to americans. it allowed for thousands of dollars of direct payments when people were struggling in between jobs as a result of the the economy closing down. so there is a real debate about how this is to be resolved. the white house, shrugging the sob, saying that it's short term pain for long term gain. others in the united states, less optimistic, but still the present speaking now saying that he believes that the us or live is at the end of the tunnel if you will, and that the strategy is put in place are working. kimberly hel kit with the latest from the white house. kimberly, thank you. ah,

like severe but also bucharest is quite cold. now that's the continued picture into saturday. things improve slowly the picture to the north, incoming winter minutes in order. many cold snow for norway which moves eastwards towards finland. ah, the on air or online, the part of the debate, or pacific people, the ocean is our identity and the source of well be we are the ocean when no topic is off the table, it's a children's side atmosphere. people are demoralized, they're exhausted, and many health care workers are experiencing p t s d like symptoms. jump into this dream, enjoying our global community. if you're online on youtube right now, you can be part of this conversation is wealth. this dream. oh, now to sierra lou

trek has become the oldest person to make the journey to space b u a secretary of state says washington will carry on with plans to reopen a consulate in east jerusalem despite opposition from israel, anthony blanket made the announcement after talks of the foreign ministers of israel and the united arab emirates. the consulate has traditionally been a base for diplomatic outreach to palestinians, but was absorbed by the u. s embassy when it moved to west jerusalem. frontal of even 2018 ministers also discussed expanding upon agreements in the 2020 abraham accords, which encourage arab nations to normalize ties with israel. we are unwavering in our commitment to israel security and we will work to strengthen all aspects of the u. s. israel partnership to advance the goal that i, that i mentioned,

we will work closely with israel deep in our diplomatic ties with the palestinians, and consult with partners in the region and beyond to have a common interest in supporting efforts to advance lasting piece. and as i said in may, we'll be moving forward with the process of opening a consulate as part of deepening those ties with the policy. also, jordan is lie that the us state department for us and roseland, when the truck administration decided to move the embassy from to levine to jerusalem. obviously there was an outcry among the palestinians. so what reaction and what is behind? i guess this decision by the us now to open a consulate. well, really, the big question now is almost 5 months after 1st deciding that it was going to re open the conflict. she was served palestinians and to engage with palestinian officials. why hasn't the united states dumb so,

and that was really driving the question at wednesday's press conference. the secretary of state made this announcement back on may 25th, but it would certainly go a long way towards re establishing of direct us halston ian discussions on a number of issues. namely, trying to get the 2 state solution process back on a firmer footing as well as a reaffirming the u. s. is ongoing support for our, the palestinian economy for educational opportunities for cross cultural exchanges . but the problem is that of the israeli government, led by knopf tolley bennett, the prime minister is steadfastly opposed to a separate consulate being re established. they consider it inimical to israeli security of issues. and that's in there's also of the analysis coming from those who study the israeli palestinian conflict that this could be a threat to while bennett's ugh, coalition government. and so the crowley,

the question is, how soon is the u. s. actually going to make good on its promise. also, jordan, with the latest on that tut from the state department was thank you. the taliban has worn day, its own members that anyone found to be linked to iceland, afghanistan, known as i. so k will be punished as a traitor. the countries at new government is struggling to contain the threat from the armed group. i. so k is claimed responsibility for several attacks across afghanistan since the taliban takeover in august. if someone is found to be linked to isolate, they will be punished under the shari'a law of treason and spreading terror. their actions will be taken as betrayal against his luck, emirates, of afghanistan. if someone is found in any of our arm units linked to eyesore, let it be known that the unit commander will be interrogated and the unit for the dissolves or the warning kansas. the taliban urges the international community to

unblock billions of dollars worth of afghan funds, which are currently being held and assets overseas. it's acting foreign minister has met us and european envoys and catherine. as part of a diplomatic push for support and recognition that taliban has warned that blocking access to the central banks. $10000000000.00 risks undermining africa, security and can force a new wave of economic refugees. i've got some remains cut off from much of the world and there is growing concerned that it's humanitarian crisis will accelerate . stephanie decker has been monitoring the talks from the african capital. couple those talk don't mean that they're recognizing the legitimate government and that because of certain amendment, they want the taliban to make when it comes to more inclusive cabinet, particularly the right protecting rights of minorities and women. but the warning they are from the acting foreign minister saying that there could be an increase again in migration,

particularly when it comes to the economic situation here. i mean, this is accurate from what we're seeing. there is no money. there's no money in the country. people don't have access to money. people haven't paid their salaries in month, even the bureaucracy here the little broker, see that remains seems to be crumbling. to interesting me. the security situation is an issue. ice. ok iceland? i've got his daughter stepped up its attacks over the last 2 weeks or so coming, you know, from the north to the east of the country. also here in cobb, there remains a very active security threat against one of the main high profiles targets here. and also interestingly, we've just had a press conference in the spokesperson of the interior minister for the 1st time addressing the taliban and saying that they cannot be taking matters into their own house. like going out the house. but significantly, when it comes to security, saying if anyone is found to be part of vital to have infiltrated the taliban, that they will be held to account under a law that the whole unit that they are part of including the commander will be dissolved. i think this is the 1st time that they're publicly addressing,

what could be an issue of infiltration. so i think security issues moving forward and again, even the telephone hasn't been paid their salary. the people will tell you that over time, that could also be an issue when it comes to defections. towards isolate the use of top breaks, it official has proposed the removal of many of the customs checks between britain and northern ireland. as a trade dispute intensifies on tuesday, the u. k, it breaks, administer talked of tearing up the protocol that's created. trade checks between great britain and northern ireland. the u. k says it will engage fully and constructively with the e. u, but wants to see significant change. and simmons has worn out from belfast. the british government isn't happy, nor are the main powers here in northern islands assembly. but the european union executive has gone all the way it can, it would seem to try and smooth out this seaboard a crisis. this was the message from brussels b,

this robust package of practical imaginative solutions. we can continue to implement the protocols on ireland, northern ireland for the benefit of all communities on the grounds. it not only semen stability and sporadic stability, and in these festival ingredient for the local economy to flourish. that also pays the way for and has the opportunities. but nevertheless, the leader of the main pro british unionist party here at the northern ireland assembly had this to say, it still leaves in place and i receive border. there will still be checks on the movement of goods within the united kingdom, and that's not something we find acceptable. now this is a welcome 1st step, that will be intensive and focused negotiations. so let's see where we get to, ah, but we do need to see more progress. this falls well short of what we require. so what next? well, european union officials will be in london starting negotiations on friday with

british officials. and the u. k. government position is pretty out, right, it's, it's saying that it wants the european court of justice removed from the equation in terms of overseeing things in terms of this deal. and it wants to more or less rip up the, the northern ireland protocol. now, this is unfathomable, in terms of how the a, you could accept that sort of situation. it isn't going to happen. the you, you is saying it's, it's, is take this, this or not nothing at all. so this is a really tense time. there are lots and lots of negotiations ahead. in the coming weeks, the spain's prime minister has gone back to the island of la paloma, his residence continues to flee a volcanic eruption. pedro sanchez called for patience, saying there is currently no sign that the full county volcanic activity will end any time soon. scientists concern the cobra v. a higher option may be getting worse with 64. seismic movements recorded on tuesday emergency services ordered another
