russia's president has denied his country, is behind an energy shortage in europe, saying moscow is standing by to health natural gas prices of skyrocketed prompting the e u. to recommend the series of support measures as the continent heads into winter . an air and ground offensive by ethiopians military against forces from the northern he grade region is reported to be intensify. fighting is taking place on a number of fronts from being it's in the neighboring regions. and the man armed with a bow and arrows has killed 5 people and injured several others in a series of attacks in norway. it happened in the town of calls back. at least a 100 rebels have been killed in yemen, south of the strategic city of marie beware. there has been heavy fighting for several days. the iranian backed who the rebels say that about 400 people have been killed in the area this week. marie, but is the internationally recognized the government's last stronghold in northern

yemen and has rich oil reserves who these renewed their campaign to seize the city? last month the taliban has warned its own members that any one found to be linked to i saw in afghanistan, the group known as i. so k will be punished as traitors. the new government is struggling to contain the threat from the armed group. i. so k is claimed responsibility for several attacks since the taliban peak over in august. if someone is found to be linked to iso, they will be punished under the shari'a law of treason and spreading terror. their actions will be taken as betrayal against the islamic emirates of afghanistan. if someone is found in any of our army units linked to i sal, let it be known that the unit commander will be interrogated at the unit will dissolves. while the warning comes as the taliban urges the international community to unblock billions of dollars worth of afghan funds,

which are currently being held in assets overseas, it's acting foreign minister has met us and european envoys in katherine as part of a diplomatic push for support. and recognition the taliban has warned that blocking access to the central banks, $10000000000.00, risks undermining afghans, security and could force and you wave of economic refugees. afghanistan remains cut off from much of the world and there is a growing concern. it's humanitarian crisis will worsen stephanie decker has more now from the afghan capital, kabul, those talk don't mean that they're recognizing them as legitimate government and that because of certain amendments they want the taliban to make. when it comes to a more inclusive cabinet, particularly the right protecting rights of minorities and women. but the warning there are some reacting foreign ministers 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 to start as 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 has like going house to 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 the law that the whole unit that they are part of including the commander will be dissolved. 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 distractions towards ice. okay? probably rainy infections in iraq have rejected the results from these parliamentary elections. the warning they'll defend their voting rights. and as the ash and reports from baghdad, there are many political issues behind this escalation. the celebrations i've come to an end, but that is now bracing for the day after the biggest task now is choosing a prime minister. we'll have to put together a cabinet that suits all those who have a say in the process inside and outside iraq. but there are some who aren't happy with the results of sundays parliamentary elections. women had de my helmet. it's our people's rights to reject the results and voice their dismay with it. but within the legal ways and without violating the laws of the alphabet coalition represents the popular mobilization forces another. she are political and paula military groups close to iran, down, refusing to accept defeat. what this is,

not only about the action, the coalition wants to have a say in the choice of the next prime minister, not winning many seats. the leverage will be limited. this is just for british as they want, the bridge wasn't but of his on the ground and then next the government and they, they, they say they have a right. and we lose that flight and we're ready to ship them the government. and then the, i think this is this week, this is, this is part of the game awful. it's a game. they want to do that only to take another privileges and the next government. but this can't be separated from the old rivalry between the pro iranian factions. and the lead of the largest block in parliament, influential, shia cleric mortar, the southern southern ross, condemned foreign interventions and iraqi domestic politics named the by iran and the united states. he says it should be up to iraq news to form the next government . despite sagas warning, it's all like, you know, the process of choosing

a prime minister. so we'll go ahead, you've got to find those say, from iran on one side and the united states on the other. what's washington's role, that the pro arranging groups are anticipating the hobby, should the statement reject me? the results are vowing to confront what they describe as malign. attempts that only serve the interests of the us occupation. while there are serious fears, their rejection could hurt iraq's already unstable security. and they said, if it is happen in a way or another, it will go forward for to use weapon. if the results of the i hack of the electoral committee was not right, mr. mapped out a solder yesterday made a tweet, saying ok, it's our iraq. let's negotiate, let's talk into the, into the interest of iraq. now there is mounting tension among the rocks political rivals who seem to ignore the fact that nearly 60 percent of the population quite

got a direction and the action which is 0. but on the east 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 you case breaks it minister talked of tearing up the protocol that's created. trade checks between great britain and northern ireland. after breaks it now the u . k says it will engage fully and constructively with the e. u, but wants to see significant change and to simmons has more now from belfast. the british government is unhappy, 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, with 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's not only segments, stability and predictability, and in the special ingredient for the local economy to flourish. that also pays the a for enhanced opportunities. but nevertheless, the leader of the main pro british units party here at the northern ireland assembly have 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. first step, the will be intensive and focused negotiations. so let's see where we get to. but we do need to see more progress. this falls well short of what we require. so what next? well, your opinion officials will be in london starting negotiations on friday with british officials and the u. k. government position is pretty outright it's. it's saying that it wants the european court of justice removed from the equation in

terms of over seeing things in terms of this deal. and it wants to more or less rip up the northern and protocol. now, this is unfathomable, in terms of how the you could accept that sort of situation. it isn't going to happen. the, you, you're saying it's, it's, is take this, this own nothing at all. so this is a really tense tundra, lots and lots of negotiations ahead in the coming weeks. poland that plans to spend more than $400000000.00 on a wall along its border with bell of roof. this follows a surgeon refugees and migrants crossing the bell of ruffian border to poland as well as lithuania and latvia, the polish government and the e. you say it's a form of hybrid warfare the loose is waging on the block in retaliation for sanctions, but refugee charities accuse poland of illegal push backs and inhumane treatment is very challenge reports. now from the border. last meeting, someone who judge

a human call speaking spanish that cubans, they say they don't want to be filmed by us, but they're somewhere in the forest scared and hungry food packs also and the foundation goes to meet them the refugee charity does. if any time, day or night, they also document the pushback site, see the polish batteries border. like this kurdish family returned across the border in a police truck despite allegedly wanting to apply for asylum. temperatures are going for low, we have here, fatalities id, and there will be more if the state of emergency will not. and if the polish government will not act according to somewhere out in the board as forests shiver, and on no number of afghans, iraq, he's syrians codes, cubans, and more that trap 1000 the coals between 2 countries that don't want them. now

this is interesting. have a look. as soon as our team got close to the border, all of us got a text in english saying, the polish border is sealed, beller, russian authorities told you lies, go back to minsk. don't take any pills from bell russian soldiers, and then there's a link to a polish government website, explaining that people who cross the border illegally might be imprisoned. meadows dam pushing you towards the border to poland footage like this is being released by the punish authorities. it's the only view inside an emergency exclusion zone at the board. a 3 kilometers deep journalists and n g o z aren't allowed in. poland doesn't deny the push backs. i talked to the board of police spokeswoman about it under the european convention on human rights . that is illegal because migrants needs be given a chance to properly apply for asylum and if they're being pushed back then they don't get that chance a little sub menu. so the interests of understanding that these people aren't

interested in staying in poland. they say they want to go to germany or the u. k. logan, i be honestly. but how do you know if they're not wanting to claim asylum if they're not being given the chance to claim asylum because they're being push martin never to use the mile? shall sin when they find out that being covered by international protection means that they have to stay in poland and leave here. they want to go back to their country of origin. so it took a, it's not an argument that convinces the united nations refugee agency, most of them are in direct need of, of humanitarian assistance. you cannot leave people to die in the forest because it's simply on it's inhumane. harland wants to tell the world it's responding to this crisis is not the cause of it. alexandra lucas income man creates discount option e dot org movement to banished in to banish iraq ian union. and all that

in priority for supporting create a position on beller road japan box. this border crisis is a humanitarian one, as well as a political and board of security one and lives literally are on the line. rory, challenge out a 0. poland, spain's prime minister has been back on the island of la palmera as residence, continues to flee a volcanic eruption by throw sanchez called for patients saying there's currently no sign that the volcanic activity will end any time soon. scientists are concerned because a bit of ye how a rupture and may actually be getting worse with 64 seismic movements recorded just on tuesday. emergency services ordered another 800 people to evacuate their homes this week. as lava continues to advance for hello. yes. my, i am taylor, this is really oppressive. it is truly suffocating. we are here helping a friend and some relatives. it is sad to get here early. have

ah ah ah ah

ah. north korea's leader has retreated to an extreme martial arts demonstration to mark the 76th anniversary of the country's ruling party, north korean state tv release video. monday's display where kim joan own could be seen clapping as members of the military showed off their strengths or soldiers. performed the several extreme exercises including lying on broken glass and breaking concrete slabs with their fists. now netflix has announced that south korean t v show squid game has become, it's biggest, the original series, yet the streaming service says the drama was watched by a 111000000 people in just under 4 weeks. the 9 parts thriller pits contestants against each other in childhood games, but with a deadly twist. it since become

a world wide sensation, adding to south korea's growing pop culture influence or cuen kim is a professor of east asian studies at the university of california, irvine. and writes about korean popular culture. i spoke to him a little earlier, but the reasons behind squid games success well is a fantasy. i'm drama. it actually borrows from this kind of gothic, you know, creepy dition that many people recognize i. and yet, the, the actual premise in the background, you know, harsh reality, that nuke capitalism, new liberal capitalism and created the one that is about, you know, cutthroat competition. so the 2 things jiving together, i think, made it accessible to many people. oh, who resonate with some of the present day? you know, kind of threats and intense kind of forms of competition that they've entered into

. we perhaps don't want to give away any spoiler is because of this li, a lot of people won't have watch their own. want to watch that out until the end. but obviously it's about inequality and that will resonate all over the world. but what makes it specifically korean? i think korea has a unique kind of a sense of the history. korea went from a very poor country that is really from a pos postwar poverty to a very successful you know, economic miracles. you know, in the eighty's and ninety's and then over the last 2030 years as a capitalism crisis deepen, you know, what ended up happening is it created the intent kind of inequality. a really short gap between haves and have nots. and that's one of the things that you get not only sweet game, but obviously a lot of these films likes parasite 2 years ago,

which equally deliver similar kind of toning theme. when we think of popular culture is that really managed to be global. usually it's the united states with hollywood or with music. i mean, certainly things in english anyway, which being the international language, makes it more accessible for most people. but now we're seeing a korean, a korean art winning an oscar dominating netflix. k pop obviously is huge. it, do you think that korean art forms will begin to really dominate the global landscape? a korean cultural content. yes. is here to stay for many years you was repressed, you know, because of, you know, just overwhelming kind of, again, censorship, that was placed in korean, a popular culture for years and years. you know, before you democratize your 2030 years ago. and now you're enjoying, you know, different kinds of, again, explosive expression that has to do with not just popular culture,

but cinema literature and theater. also in korea that has been moving many ways the cultural this creates seem to enjoy with, you know, so much attention being paid to korean cultural content. whether it be netflix, you know, spending, you know, $500000000.00 a year. and, you know, developing and making korean series like squid game or, you know, b, t as making, as, you know, global tour, you know, as we speak. these are the kinds of places where we find, you know, instances i think, you know, korean popular culture, enjoying his heyday and then you know, probably for many years to come. ok, it's time for the sport now. here is gemma in doha. thank you. barbara kenya's, president says the country has lost one of its sporting harris. after long distance run, a access to rope was found stabbed to death. the 25 year old body was discovered at

her home in the western town of its head, which is a training house for many at least athletes, the to sign well championship from med list, right presented kenya in the 5000 meters. the take your lympics finishing forth in the final tour up also breaks the women only it's 10 kilometer road, well record in germany, just last month they took place named her husband as a suspect in the murder investigation. can you come on in on my dog, jimmy, there are revelations which came from her husband's family indicating the husband had to hold his parents crying. apparently he said to them, may god forgive me because there is something i have done out there actually spoke to her out back in 2017 when she was training in easton, kenya for the wild cross country championships. the governing body of ethics in kenya that it was distraught by the news and paid tribute. calling her a jewel, who was one of the fastest rising athletics giants on the international stage. at least to cut in athletics. janice asked the court,

he told us about the devastation being fed to interrupt same country. well, it's a huge, huge show. come in all the newspapers tomorrow. we'll have that story on the front page because we're just coming from the olympic games in tokyo, se computers in the 5000 meters. and just last month as uses you broke that we miss only 10 kilometer one record on. there are so many top athletes, we have all the big champions. why champions, you know, congregated at home, they just want the family and the way in the state of shock. i mean, they could hardly say what, i do believe that these great talent has died in such a mysterious circumstances. by me and i confront football, i live it's. amanda has been sentenced to 6 months in a spanish prison for breaking a restraining order more than 4 years ago. and as was convicted of domestic violence in 2017 for his voting. his then girlfriend and now wife. during his time, as i'm, as i scream with dread player,

he was later arrested for disobeying the restraining order when he got married to the same woman. and this has been ordered with 10 court in betrayed. on tuesday, he intends to appeal the sentence. the international olympic committee says it will not pressure the winter olympics, have china about is human rights record? test event taking place in beijing ahead of 2020, 22 games which begins in february that been growing calls for the games to be postponed. oh, boy, cost less. china ended crack down against we get muslim. we get several countries including the united states of coded genocide, china denies any wrongdoing, the, the vice president john code that says human rights are important. but outside of the movement, it's not their responsibility. the i sees remit is to ensure that there is no human rights abuses in respect of the the conduct of the games within the national,

limpid committees or within the olympic movement. we have no ability to go into a country and tell them what to do with all we can do is to award the olympic games to a country under conditions set out in a house contract. the i o. c stands comes no surprise to olympic, o 5 professor, jewels boycott who we spoke to earlier. when vice president codes is talking there, you can see the international olympic committee selective ethics on full display. on one hand, it's the all powerful entity. the can choose where to place the games. on the other hand, it acts as if they can't do anything. you can see in the olympic charter itself, there's all sorts of wonderful ideas about freedom, justice, dignity, a respecting diversity. but then when it comes to china, where you have ongoing crimes against humanity, those are, those qualities are not to be found. and yet the international epic committee look

the other direction we saw with the most recent olympics in tokyo, that they would go on to desperate measures to carry out the olympics even during a dangerous pandemic. even when the host city did not want to continue with the games, and yet the games went on because the io see made it so you're seeing again the reason is money, they need to keep that money flowing into olympic coffers. on the other hand, there's a long tradition in the international olympic committee of pretending that politics don't matter when berlin host games in 1936, hitler was in charge. and yet the i o. c said there is nothing we can do about that . now what i'm not saying is that we're looking at the same situation between hitler and beijing. absolutely not. however, what i am saying is there's a long tradition of staring injustice in the faced by the international committee and choosing to look the other way. pressure is building on athletes to speak out. after all, we're living in what we might call the athlete empowerment era. and many athletes are really in there, increasingly concerned about injustices in our world. and yet,

are they putting themselves in danger or do the international committee not have their back if they just stand up for the principles enshrined in the charter? so we're looking down the barrel of a real face off here, and i'll be fascinating to see what happens in the months ahead. and finally, we don't often have badminton on al jazeera, but there was a special piece of play at a made a tournament in denmark, taiwanese play at looting, out managed and incredible recovery shots, his diving effort, not only kept the point alive, but he won it as well, or lou needed medical treatment, but it was worth it as he went on it when that is all your support from me for now . back to barbara in london. gemma. thank you. now a solar storm has produced, spectacular light shows across northern parts of the globe. the aurora borealis, or the northern lights lit up skies in north america and northern europe. overnight on twos, they know the strength of the solar option meant the phenomenon could be seen much
