[000:00:00;00] a mm mm. ready iran says it has defended a ship from being seized by the us and the sea of oman us cusack, radiant forces, a dangerous maneuvers at sea. ah, oliver, i'm hell, am i hidden? this is al jazeera, blind from dough home, also coming up. every day, more people are suffering and dying. the un human rights chief releases

a report on ethiopia as war documents and what she describes as extreme brutality. the local us selection results that have republican celebrating at present jo barton's democrats worries, ad boys by major crime as announcements. leaders, head home from cop 26, leaving officials to negotiate sticking points like finance. ah, iran says it has defends a de vietnamese flag ship from being seized in the sea of oman. it says it's elite revolutionary guards. troops boarded the ship carrying iranian oil on october 25th . st tanker was about to be taken by the u. s. the u. s, meanwhile, was accusing iran. the staging dangerous maneuvers at sea were joining when are in the studio. is our iran correspondence door cert? jabari a door?

so what's going on here? well, it's not very clear exactly what has taken place in the seal. will mon october 25th, but what the rain is are saying happened was that the americans had stolen this oil from their iranian oil tanker and they were getting it back and this was done. and as we see in the footer, is that they've released this is a very elaborate and heavily edited a footage released by of lucia guard naval division. where they have narrated the events that unfolded. and they've even marked ain farsi, which ships belong to whom. and we see at one point in this over 8 minutes of footage, that the american navy is actually very close about 200 meters away from the radians. and this is the closest we've ever seen this 2 sites come in these waters . and at the end, we see that the revolutionary guard commanders, egg, ensure they're ship board to ship and seize control of it. and the way news say

that they have now taken this ship back to the ports of band there at boss where they're keeping it. and this is something they said that the shows how volatile the americans have been towards the iranians in these waters in this region on both sides, treating acquisition, accusations of dangerous maneuvers. but it's interesting, the timing of this, isn't it? it happened about a week ago. we're learning about the snyder, the video has been released now. is there anything in the timing to this? certainly, i think they are indians never do anything without thinking everything through in terms of how it would look for them on the international scale. we have to remember that on november 4th is the anniversary of the u. s. embassy takeover and with the hostages were held 50. 2 american diplomats and citizens were held for 444 days in november of 1979. and it also, we have the nuclear talk set to resume at some point, but by the end of november, this is clearly an attempt by the iranians to show that they are the ones that are

in control. they are the ones that are in power in this region, and that they are not afraid or threatened by the u. s. presence in the region and that they want to say be seen as having the upper hand. they want to be seen as that they are the ones that are really as saving the day and that the americans are the ones that are a forcing iranians to have to resort to these kinds of maneuvers to defend themselves. and i think this is the narrative that will so get going into the nuclear talks if they happen as the rains have been saying that they would. okay. well, the nuclear talks to circ movie, keep rumbling on, but darcy, you spend a lot of time any rhonda, how do you think this is going to play to that the domestic whole jeans this iran oversee, hasn't site set on how it will look internationally, but i'm the iranian people right now we're living through quite a challenging time. i will this sort of news be received back home?

well, i think there's 2 faults to this, these kinds of events. first, there is a matter of national pride that they feel like the revolutionary guards are defending been national interest of the country and that they are seen as the defenders of the rain in identity and interest. and then the 2nd part is that there is a sense that these kinds of events never help the situation. and already fall or failing economy will only get worse at these kinds of news because they believe that the international community will respond negatively. they will tighten, they restrictions on iran, and in terms of the financial ramifications for the country, it will only get worse as a result of events like these. but at the end of the day, there is usually a sense at me. the iranians did similar maneuvers in the summer of 2019 when he sees this than i am pero in the strait of hor, moves after at the they said that the british took a new indian oil tanker earlier and, and that was as similar maneuver by the revolutionary,

we saw this kind of video that was heavily produced with music and script narrating the events that took place. and there was a sense of pride initially that this is what the radians have to do. this is what the revolutionary guard is supposed to do for the country. they are a special unit that was formed just after the revolution, to look after iran's interests in the region. and this is what they are doing according to them. and the national consensus will attest. to that as well, but there is a sense this all can only go so far. they will come a point where these kinds of actions and maneuvers will have very, very serious consequences. and coming this close with the american navy in the seo vermont they, it will be seen as a very dangerous act. and regardless of who was at fault or how it started, it could have ended very, very badly. and that, that is, what worries i think most ordinary iranians is that in cases like this, it could go very wrong very quickly. yes. okay. at the door, sir. no,

thank you very much indeed. and we've just learned in the last few minutes that that shape has now been released by the iranian national guards. let so speak now with patsy. co haines. she joins is on the line. no form washington d. c. a patsy. we have been hearing form doors, so some of the, the background to the case, some of what happens. i have the americans responds. it's a toll to this because they are pretty extraordinary pictures, america and iran coming within 200 meters of each other. they have in a way, here at the pentagon, they're basically denying that there was a skirmish, they say that they, the navy, coming out of the slate, was observing submission that they chose not to interact with them and, and then watched as the ship made it to rainy and waters, obviously anything like that would have been, has to be approved from the highest level of the government. this is that will

continue in teams depending on here has been complaining about rainy and forces in this section of the world saying that they are trying to provoke some sort of fight with the us military. so the us military has not been very forthcoming about this. so you, they're only telling reporters on background, but that should change in about an hour and a half weeks. back to hear from the pentagon, press secretary, john kirby and a doubted lead. that will be the 1st question he is asked to explain their statement, the fact that they haven't said anything about it until now, but also the video and exactly what sort of rules because fleet is operating under obviously it's a very tough time between the us and around the us, it says they want to get back to the nuclear deal, but they've also been really studying strong messages that us could potentially act . so again, this is a breaking situation, but the pentagon will be answering questions about that in the next hour and 20. ok, well we'll look forward to those questions and answers for now though. thank you

very much, patsy. co have before we move on an important correction, just to confirm the iranian revolution regards to so have the ship. of course, this is a breaking situation. we're going to try and nail tight as much information as the cat on this and get it back to you. but of course that incident happens back in late october. the iranian re revolutionary guards have the ship still in control of it. and as more details emerge, we will bring them to you from the let's move on to other news. and the un has found evidence that all sides in ethiopia as t gray conflicts have violated international human rights, as some may amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity. the, you and human rights chief said the year long conflicts has been marked by extreme

brutality. priyanka gupta reports these smart grieves in my cartridge, in northern if he appear on earth, what the un says could be war. crimes committed in the t gray conflict, a joint ethiopian, and you in human rights investigation, says rebel some tea grey killed more than 200 ethnic. i'm her as here in november last year. the conflict has now expanded well be on t gray into neighboring amarrow and off her regents and it's been devastating for civilians. the un report found in the year long war editor and soldiers who backed, if you'd be a federal army, as well as if you're been guffman soldiers. anti grand rebels have committed widespread crimes including rape, torture, and killings of civilians. all parties to the t great conflict have committed violations of international human rights in italian and rest you law. some of these

the conflicts has seen extreme brutality united states has added the israeli spyware firm. and so group a russian, so for a company and 2 other for businesses to it's cyber activities, blacklist the comments department, says it's in response to their role and developing spyware and trafficking, malicious tools online, malicious online tools, rather than move limits or access. you have companies and technology by requiring government permission for exports results from local votes in the u. s. could signal trouble for president, jo biden's, democratic party as it had since and next year's congressional elections. republican glenn young can push the democrats over the governorship in the state of virginia, and then new jersey democratic governor phil murphy is facing a closer than expected challenge in the states that tends to vote for his party. these results in states that president joe biden, one last year, just democrats,

type majorities in congress are vulnerable in 2020, and fisher has borne from washington d. c. the reality is that this was a bad night for the democrats. it was a bad night for joe biden, and they have to have a serious rethink before we get to the, the, the mid terms which are no, just a year away. and very important. if the democrats want to keep a hold of the senate and the house, joe biden was hoping that when he came back from his foreign trip, it walked into the resolute desk in the oval office this morning. and there be 2 bills there ready for him to sign the infrastructure bill and the much larger spending bill. and of course neither of them are there. in fact, neither them look close to avoid. nancy pelosi said maybe maybe some moves before the end of wednesday, possibly a vote on thursday, but that's not moving things forward. in fact, your mansion who is one of the democratic senators has been holding up progress in the senate has said we could possibly get a bill done by thanksgiving. no,

the one thing on jo biden's in advantage is that getting something done by thanksgiving actually wouldn't be by that would still give them a year to say, look, we've made a difference. this is helping americans, and we're doing a really good job isn't a grain of delivered on these promises. but the problem is, the longer it takes, the more there are stories about democratic and fighting. and that means you start to lose independent voters and what were independent voters, very important in the results that we saw in new jersey and also in virginia. so essentially, the democrats really need to get their act together. and joe biden, as leader of the party, and his president, is the man really needs to grab them and shake them. ah, there's an update. mood after leaders reach to landmark climate deals at the comp

26 summits in glasgow. they include agreements to reverse deforestation and company, fain emissions by the end of the decade. leaders, a full night's leading facials to are not sticking points like finance. have wealthier countries are going to help others adapt to climate change and move to renewable energy. over the next 5 years, we will deliver a total of $500000000000.00 of investment to the countries that need at most. and we can do more to day. i can announce that the united kingdom will commit a 100000000 pounds to the task force on access to climate finance, making it quicker and easier for developing countries to access the finance they need. and we're supporting a new capital markets mechanism which will issue billions of new green bonds here in the u. k. to fund renewable energy in developing countries. that was the name suggests comp 26 is the latest in

a line of many climate conferences. come all santa maria has been crunching the numbers and looking at what if anything, has improved since the 1st climate meeting. the 1st comp summit caught by the way, conference of the policies was in berlin in 1995. now obviously don't fix a problem like climate change in 26 years, but what you'd hoped to see us and positive trends. well, let's have a look 1995 to today. that's our range with our graphs from our world and date and have popped a couple of sign posts in there just for reference. this is 1997. ah, that was called 3 in japan which produced the kyoto protocol. and this one here is 2015 cop 21 in france. when we got to paris agreement, both of those landmark deals, even if everyone didn't sign up for them. so what you're looking at is global temperature increases. this line here is the 0 degree line. this line here is the one and a half degree line. you're looking at monthly intervals, which is why the graph is in a little erratic, but the trend mean that's pretty simple to see. it is always heading upwards

towards that crucial on point 5 degrees. now what have we got here? annual c o 2 emissions, global c o 2 emissions again. pretty self explanatory on the up and up. we were at 25000000000 below 25000000 tons in 1995 and now up above 35000000000. but when you start to look at the numbers by countries and regions, then it's not to get interesting. for example, who am it's the most c a t when it's easy, it's china or isn't it big read block, clear? 27 percent of global emissions. the usa with 15 percent, and this yellow block as the a you with 9.8 percent, but who has cumulatively emitted the most c o 2 over the years. while america has, the grain has now switched, in fact, with china. and you've now adding the e u in with about 22 percent of emissions in between the us and china. and while all these big industrial nations are trying to blame each other, the rest of the world, only small countries down here they sang, hold on, you guys have and polluting a lot more and

a lot longer than any of us. you've built economies on that. but now we have to make the cuts and miss that on that growth. you to help us out with some climate finance here. and you get a different picture again when you look at c o 2 emissions on a per capita basis. now remember we had the g 20 in rome last week. well, what i've created here with all these countries in regions is it's basically a g 10, including the european union. now the united states, clearly the biggest emitter, but to be fair as well. it has been bringing those levels down since the 1st call in 1995, china with its population of 1430000000 has been doing the opposite. and in fact it's emission peak is still years off. but india look at this almost the same population, but look at its levels so much lower the lowest by far of these 10 countries and regions. and yet it's been maligned and not fitting ambitious enough targets as ever. it comes down to perspectives, rich and poor, big and small old and new. he said, she said the problem is,

there's no choice when it comes to the planet. we all live on and 26 conferences later. they just isn't the time to argue about. the world health organization has approved. india's co vaccinate vaccine for emergency use is produced by parents by on tech. on the 10 percent vaccinated indians have taken the kovacs and jobs and w at your approval means there are no collation against cooper. this more likely to be accepted in other countries. algeria says 3 of its national have been killed in an air strike. so if the attack happens on the border between western sahara and mauritania, jerry and state media is pointing fingers at moroccan forces. video posted on twitter appears to show t bombed out trucks in the sahara desert. algeria is describing the driver's death, cowardly, and fond barrack. the 8th annual palestinian film festival as kicked off

in ramallah. it showcasing more than 60 fiction documentary on short films across the occupied west bank running until monday palestine cinema days will feature independent fans artistic productions as well as rich arab and international stories will hold to other hemi does live for us. in ramallah auto has the festival going so far, well the festival is about to kick off and as soon people will be watching a opening movie, which is called l, that iep order stranger. it is a movie that was hailed at the venice film festival. just recently received an award there and is actually nominated for also an oscar. now joining me to discuss more about this festival is glued by the week. thank you for joining me. she is the spokesperson of the festival, hulu. this is the 8th edition out. you've come a long way. what has changed between now and the 1st edition i owe anything has

changed our way the festival grow out and day. you know, we have a much more audience. is that coming from all over from assigned to the simplest event and that success is that we have, you know, the same that hostess festival. we're talking about more and more dick of mission of palestine to be part of the international festival movement. we are talking more about like guests coming and more a coordination and cooperation on networking with the leading international industry, a company in the cinema sector. so we are talking about many successes and we had a proud that day of the man success is that despite the obstacles that these right commission is imposing on us. and despite the lack of you know, financial sources and the lack of fe, cinema infrastructure in palestine, we are a growing and we are a succeeding to host this like this delivery year. and we will continue this for, for, for years to come. yeah, i've been speaking to some film is and i be saying that one of the biggest frustrations is really the lack of distribution as you said,

the lack of cinemas. but there's also something else. it's very difficult for people to, for example, come here to ramallah to watch, to attend this festival. so you have this very odd things of this festival being across 6 different cities, including gaza. unlike any other country where the capital host the film, the international festival we are actually i, you know, we have a different 3 ality under these read a patient. we have no other choice but to will bring the film festival and to our audience in the defense. it is, that's why we have it in drama law in jerusalem in nazareth, in haifa, and gaza. and therefore, these palestine in cities are hosting the specific in order not to give up today's radio in occupation, obstacles by you know, imposed by israeli moody, 3 chick fine. se permits of how to be issued by the israeli army, the wall. so instead of giving up, we're actually not giving up polar audiences. and therefore we have cooperation with many,

no cultural centers and day concert organizations in these 650. as we have 15 locations, i hosting the festival in order to bring this, you know, a definitive understanding man to revive the fit in a fair, the film and punishment, and to revive the cinema culture in palestine by bringing it to the says, i have also, i must say, actually, on that day, you know, we're trying all the time to send a message that the cinema is resistance. and you know, using the films is also resist the weight of resistance. and therefore, we don't want to give up the culture as a tool to reason what voices are narrative and also to bring other nations stories and narratives for the same. so weird proud that we are not giving up would have browed of this film festival and a we promised to continual and to reach more and more audiences and therefore we are here. good luck. so today is the opening night to so 6 more days. g, go, oh, certainly for the filmmakers, this is a great opportunity of speaking to

a few of them and you know, for a palestinian, to be able to make a movie. it takes many, many years. and without funds coming from overseas, it's nearly impossible. so to died those who, oh, this week really those who will have their full screen here is really the crying of many years of efforts. are there other hemi bear lie for sir that film festival in ramallah hotter than i thank you very much. is deeds and estates, electricity workers in sterling co are protesting against a per deal between the government and the u. s. company unions are threatening strikes and destruction. if the agreement isn't scrapped. michelle fernandez has more from colombo. oh, a threat to the country and its energy sector is how state electricity workers are describing a deal to sell 40 percent of a state on $300.00 megawatt power plant,

inter lanka. hundreds of employees have demonstrated outside the headquarters of the salon electricity board. on 20 for september, the government and an american company promoted by the us ambassador in colombo, announced reaching a sales agreement. it covered the purchase of this power plant construction of a gas storage terminal. and a monopoly of gas applies to all plants using liquefied natural gas. this bill is not good for your own. is adrian. he be not good for the pantry. we're going to say that he's been in am. i was last for the pantry. and also this is the 1st time that we see that that unfortunate proposal being entered and by the government written in ongoing 10 days. it is in progress. unions want to describe and said they will ensure this is done. on tuesday union representatives filed a petition at the supreme court, challenging the deal rule that into account the imaging order it to any country soon open process in keeping with accepted international norms. if sure, lanka doesn't have the money,

but be transparent about union said it has been no transparency about the deal with even cabinet ministers. still unaware of its details, one and a half months later, this was made clear when 11 governing alliance partners made scathing remarks against those behind the deal. you see my father not going to her. there was no discussion at all. don't lie. it was brought surreptitiously by force. we will not tolerate and watch these things happen. we will not accept it, ignoring our conscience, just hold on to ministerial posts. people of this country did not give president god to buy a raj or boxer the mandate and trust him for some one to steal our power. here. phil axiom belvedere has worked in the energy sector for more than 35 years. we asked him about the implications of the deal. i would ask everybody to exercise extreme caution, extreme caution one because this was, as the media says,
