ah. when does the store at the moment weather wise where its extremes, never tick, leak stream, it is autumn. we got a series of traveling storm systems in northern europe and a static one for the sat. so the north, 1st of all, i suppose it's really iced and that's the one that stands out as snowstorm. the winds are increasing across ireland and scotland not quite gale force and look at the direction that when this was southerly. so, optically cold here was the rain goes across, it meets the higher ground about time we get to choose as a substantial dump of snow over norway in central sweden. rain to the south. temperature is not particularly low. you'll notice and low countries and much of northern europe is to look fairly caught, though not particularly warm. there. a story in the western member this, this low,

this, if anything, probably building or deepening in the next year. so is a constant near gale force wind across the valley, erickson coming out of southern france. that's near gale force and manure cuz it won't affect it on monday or on tuesday. looks like going further west again for the rest. the valley are keeping the rate in this general area into northern algeria and touching tunisia. not so much. italy should be disappointing, but not particularly wet. the seasonal rain in west africa as to which along my north into sierra leone, but not as far as the gambia. ah, a world of comfort im services without any business class which way your privacy and your experience can sit back relax in your own private space and let us take care of everything. can't our

a ways the airline you can rely on lou lou, reminder of the top stories on al jazeera in an exclusive interview with al jazeera sedans, military leader says he will not be part of any future government at the federal grants spoke on the 1st of 2 days over nationwide strikes, iraq's prime minister was staff i could be me, has escaped an assassination attempt using on to drones. pensions have been running high in iraq in the weeks after a disputed relation on hundreds of thousands of people have demonstrated it. we'll

see you here for the government and against advancing rebels groups allied against the government say they are closing in on the capital. it's going to nicaragua. now we're voters have been lining up at polling stations in an election dismissed as a sham and one which will in all likelihood return one time gorilla. daniel ortega to power or figure is now in the 14th year of his 2nd, the student office. and he wants to cement his 4th term in a row. this, despite leading an unpopular government, at least 300 people were killed in a 150 jailed following mass anti government protests 3 years ago. that triggered a period of economic decline and saw national output for by nearly a tense in the 2 years before the onset of the pandemic. so more people are choosing to leave the country, the number of nicaraguans trying to enter the us each month. this year has shot up from less than a 1000 to nearly 13 and

a half 1000. the money they send back. now what counts for 15 percent of the economy and the white house is planning fresh? sions if ortega wins and given that he's had 7 of his key opponents arrested with others forced into exile. a while him winning is the expected result, latin america lucio newman joins us live now from the costa. lisa, capital san jose. at the see a good to see you ortega actually has just spoken. what does he have to say? yes, he has. he addressed the nation after voting very early by. ortega standards. he usually is one of the last people to vote in the country. but the turn out has been extremely low. presumably because our campaign has gone on the way by o. pony of the government, asking people to stay home and not legitimize a vote by going to the polls he or take a said that nicaragua has free and democratic elections. this is despite the fact

that as you already mentioned, he jailed his main contenders and the fuel for were not in prison and went into exile or were barred from running at all. so he's pretty much, he's virtually running unopposed they. he also blamed the united states he called united states terrorists for that it was financing terrorism body, offered no proof of his allegations, which have been ongoing now to justify the unrest and the decline in his popularity in nicaragua. right now, i'm at a, at a gathering here in san jose where hundreds and hundreds of exiles have been demonstrating and marching all day long singing, nostalgic songs about returning to their, to their, our hat to their father land. and here behind me are the photographs of some of those 300 people you mentioned who were killed during that uprising innate in 2018

if for furthermore, not only are there a lot of exiles here, or there are a lot of journalists, foreign correspondents, like ourselves because we've been barred from entering the con, need to cover the selection, which is an absolute 1st for anywhere in latin america, at least in the last 30 years that i've been covering it. barbara, yes. so let's discuss that in a bit more detail. you see a, why has that happen now? i mean, why is it that for this selection, for example, journalists like yourself have been banned from entering the country. i would say because little by little especially since the 2018 uprising against president ortega, he carried out an extremely fierce crackdown against opponents. there are a hundreds of people in prison. other hundreds would have disappeared and to his for his or the gym. is he has been declining substantially since that happened. he refused to negotiate, stepping down or any other or bringing forward elections. he said that the grogs would have to wait for these elections,

but clearly he must think that he would lose them if they were held on and even bow plainfield. and so it seems that having too many people watching that are seeing that or monitoring, that is probably not something that he would be happy about. the caea newman with the latest from san jose in costa rica about that election in nicaragua. and lucy, for the moment. thank you. israel's army has designated 6 palestinian civilian society groups as an authorized organizations, accusing them of funnelling money to an armed group. the organizations targeted include that leading palestinian human rights organizations. i'll hock and at the mere as well as of research center. israel says the groups have links to the popular front for the liberation of palestine, which has carried out deadly attacks. that designation gives the armor army power to shut down offices and arrest staff harry force. it has more now from west

jerusalem. they were designating these 6 engineers as linked to funnelling money to the p, f l, p, which israel and the number of western countries defined as a terrorist organization. now, there was some pushback internationally against this. there's also criticism internally within israel about the sort of p r effective doing this without a full and transparent account of exactly how they were basing these accusations. there was also a leak of a da ca that was given to europe in nations trying to encourage them not to fund these groups earlier in the year that was obtained by the intercept and by the 97 to magazine in israel, which showed that a lot of the information being presented came from to accountants linked to an entirely separate organization. so accusations that the intelligence being presented really wasn't that firm now for all of the sound and fury around that the actual practical implications beyond potentially influencing donors. they weren't

great, but now that the israeli military has also adopted this language adopted this decision that enables it to enforce this anti terror law. ringback as far as the israelis are concerned in the occupied westbank where the 6 organizations operate, that is really what she's saying that they be presented with copious very reliable intelligence that they are operating as wings of the p. s l p. and as such, the staff and are subject to arrest potential prosecution potential. jailing of up to 25 years candidates to be libya's 1st directly elected president. since the overthrow of more market, our few will be able to register for monday. the voters scheduled to take place on december 24th thunder un back plan, which saw the rival east and west administrations combine. parliamentary candidates are also able to put themselves forward. but political tensions continue with the transitional governments. rejection of

a decision by the presidential council to suspend that, the foreign minister it accused that and i am anguish of administrative violations, are libya correspondent malik terena as this update for the home. this is where we start to see the divisions happen. or, you know, these election, the presidential candidates will be starting to send in their applications starting tomorrow. who's going to run for president? we're likely to see 30 percent is the western strong man, former minister of interior prime minister ab hamid's babe. and now we're hearing that he intends to run for elections on eastern libya. it's likely that to leave for after we run for elections and also our dealer solar is a speaker of the eastern base parliament. and really this is where we're going to start to see these divisions. i mean, it was a very long and difficult process for the united nation support mission to come up with this piece plan to try to bring in all the all the sides in order. and they brought in the sooty government,

which is leading the country into elections. now we're going to see these divisions start to rise again, who can run what kind of powers of the president have are the legislative branches in libya have yet to agree on a framework, a constitutional framework. so what kind of president, what kind of powers of the president have, what kind of authority does you have all the questions that are we meant to be on answered? and we're going to have to wait to see what kind of implications this is going to have on the election scheduled to please take place. and just 6 weeks for the 3000000 children under the age of 5 are said to receive polio, vaccinations and afghanistan. the taliban administration announced the inoculation drive on sunday, reversing a 3 year ban before taking control of the country. the taliban had barred un teams from doing door to door campaigns in areas under their rule. the group was suspicious that the medics and team members could beat spies, inventor, as from more than 40 countries, our in cap had for

will be announced in a weeks time, victoria gate, and be al jazeera doha scotland is a world leader in the transition to renewable energy plans to develop a new oil field off it's coast in the north sea are still going ahead. even though many existing platforms are currently sitting unused. here is our environment editor nick clark in northern scotland. it's not a view you'd expect from a village, high street, 300 kilometers north of the climate talks in glasgow. a vision perhaps of the future. unused oil and gas rigs parked off in cromartie furth, not pumping fossil fuels from the depths of the north sea. the earth is a barometer of the state of you case oil and gas industry. when this downturn gets pretty crowded, these platforms are awaiting new contracts. contracts will be few and far between as the move to renewables gathers pace. at the end of 2019 the oil and gas

authority estimated there were between $10.00 to $20000000000.00 barrels of oil still to be recovered in the north sea. in fact, as i speak as a bit underway to open up the jaunt combo oil field about 250 kilometers to the north of here around the shetland islands. but the reality is says the move away from fossil fuels, gavin pace, sites like this will become more and more common. whiteley wind farms south of glasgow, the 2nd largest onshore wind farm in europe, across scotland, wind power is a big part of the energy mix. the country that's aiming to be carbon neutral by 20455 years ahead of much of the world. here. 215 turbines generate enough power 435-0000 homes. in 2020, nearly 100 percent of scotland. energy came from, bring your bill sources which raises the question why the need to invest in new oil

field at all. this is the, by all of us getting on the same journey. okay. and getting on the revolution because it's more of a revolution than a journey. in all honesty, i'm to 2050 and that's the target us to get us the 2015 net 0 by 2050. so you can't just switch everything off immediately. i'm so oil and gas production is still a massive part of the economy. it's a massive part of how we see holmes, i hope, the fuel or transport system. so we need to go in that transition. we need to go not revolution. and that will happen over a period of time. back in chrome, it's either the yellow stanchions of offshore wind turbine stand, sentinel ready to be deployed out at sea, where the petroleum platform has rained for decades. and as the all rig becomes slowly redundant, the renewable sector is expanding a place for plans here in the 1st for a hydrogen hub. and to create a base for floating wind farms. but the transition away from fossil fuels needs to be carefully managed to make that a success for everybody involved,

including the workers. we need to make sure it is good quality jobs for them to move into. that means that renewables need to be trading enough jobs and that she has to be a pathway set of people can move from the fossil fuel jobs to the green jobs. there is no doubt about the direction scotland is heading in. the question is, how far behind will the rest of the wealthy nick lock al jazeera property, fer scott? ah, and now the top stories on al jazeera in an exclusive interview with al jazeera sedans, military leader says he will not be part of any future government. i'm the father albert and says he's committed the hand in power to a civilian leadership nor allowed them. or it is our pledge, a pledge we made to ourselves, the sudanese people and the international commune.
