a period of economic decline. it's on national, outward fall by nearly a tense, into 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 the half 1000 the money that they sent back. now accounts for 15 percent of the economy and the white house is planning fresh sanctions. if ortega winds and given that he's had 7 of his key opponents of breasted with others, forced into exile well or take a winning the seem like the expected result or latin america added to lucy newman is following developments from san jose in neighboring costa rica, nicaragua is very near to costa rica, in fact, we were by the border for several days. and we were with a lot of the people, some of whom are here now in the capitol hill,

crossed back and forth through in legal border passes. and they bring news of what's happening. we also do have people inside nicaragua who are keeping us well informed. a lot of nicaragua journalist are here in costa rica. they've set up networks with their own people inside the country that are sending them information . and what we're hearing is that there was a very, very low turn out today during the elections. and that is consistent with an opposition call for people in the garage. what to stay home, not to vote in order to, in their words, not legitimize a fraud. the nicaraguan catholic church also took part in that. paul, you're seeing a lot of people here behind me. they, they took part in march mainly of exiles, people who have had to flee nicaragua for fear of repression or of being killed. they say, and they were about 2000 of the margins of the cost to reagan capital today. calling for president ortega to step down, or at least for the international community to step in and put more pressure on him

. we also did hear from president ortega, we are, we have heard that he spoke and i saw him on television. he said that the elections in nicaragua, as always, and i'm quoting him or fair free and democratic. and he lashed out as we hasn't been doing regularly, over the last few years at the united states, would see a claims is financing and urging treason against him and attempts to bring about a good time against his government. so that's what we could tell you. so far about what's happening here, the results, as you mentioned, are pretty much given considering that all of the really mainstream contenders are the ones who were could, would be competitive, were imprisoned or sent into exile. israel's army has designated 6 palestinian civil society groups as an authorized organizations, accusing them of funnelling money to an armed group. the organizations targeted

include leading palestinian human rights organizations, i'll hoc in the near as well as of research center. israel says the groups have links to the popular front for the liberation of palestine, which is carried out deadly attacks. the designation gives the army the power to shut down offices and arrest the 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. those also criticism internally within israel, about the sort of p r effect of doing this without a full and transparent account of exactly how they were basing these accusations. there was also a leak of a dusty a 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 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. as far as the israelis are concerned in the occupied westbank where the 6 organizations operate. these really believe 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. well meanwhile, gal, the main power plant is under threat of shut down because of severe fuel shortages

. the energy authority says it will be forced to suspend operations if it doesn't get more fuel by the end of sunday. the supply of diesel stopped on tuesday and it's not clear why you said has more now from gather does a so power plant is threatened to shut down in the next few hours, as the energy authority of godsa has announced that the cut to refuel supply has not been entering the strip for a week now and that it has been providing the plan to operate with fuel from the local market. but if it shuts down, it will cause a deficit of more than 70 percent in all aspects of life in the gaza strip. which means that residents, homes, hospitals, medical centers, and other aspects of life will only be getting electricity 3 to 4 hours maximum per day. does the officials have told us that they do not know the reasons why the country fuel is not entering godsa for almost 2 weeks now?

where as the israel, the side neither cutter have made any statements clarifying or explaining why the fuel is not entering. despite the crossings being opened electricity crisis in the gaza strip or not you and have been going on for decades. while international interventions have been able to put an end to these crisis for a while until they are renewed again because of the shortage of fuel, which affects every aspect of life in godsa. liberia's government to ease leading a campaign to get african americans to come and settle there. the government is offering citizenship and a chance for people to reconnect with their routes as part of the policy. many historic buildings are being torn down to make way for apartment blocks. but as nicholas hark reports from the capital monrovia, architects want to protect the old properties to preserve the countries troubled

history. on liberia's, providence island, an african american is in search of her past. who are pritchard from michigan is stepping in the ruins of the 1st home built by freed. american slaves brought to africa some 200 years ago. it's on providence island that they founded the republic of liberia. providence island feels like liberty proud as island feels like healing um providence. highland feels like joy and anticipation in providence island means is a place where i can remove. i can take the chains from my neck. i can shake the dust from my feet and i can start new. that's what i feel. in the countries oldest church, the young gathered to celebrate thanksgiving. we tradition brought by the free slaves, supported by the american colonization society. the founding settlers became the country's elite and they kept many african needed in servitude transforming their

traditions, culture and architecture. according to the truth and reconciliation commission, this helped fuel liberia's civil wars. a quarter of a 1000000 people died during the 2 decade long conflicts were in downtown monrovia from where during the civil war, snipers would shoot at people in it's in this neighborhood that yet again, a 100 year old building is being torn down to make way for new apartment blocks now for some, this is liberia moving away from its past, looking towards a future for others. preserving these old buildings is an essential act of remembrance of liberia as troubled and divided passed. but this is like there was in the book so much alike. a shack that the owner, richard tolbert wants to tear down, but architect, joseph jones, sees history worth preserving. you cannot forget about your pass. we will warn the kids the big the duke kiss was studying architectural to understand how houses were

built in la bureau before and why almost all of the free sleeves came from america, southern state of south carolina. this of us came here trying to emulate a margaret called shaw their broad american culture back to liberia, embezzle where not to be africans. my beer is history does not start with the arrival of african americans. jones believes some of the st names should reference the nation, 17 indigenous groups, and efforts be made to preserve the diverse architectural history of the country. as an increasing number of african americans make labor at their home. laura picture believes there's so much to learn from the past in order to build a better future for all liberians. nicholas hawk al jazeera providence island. liberian scotland is a world leader in the transition to renewable energy plans to develop

a new oil field off its coast in the north sea are still going ahead even though many existing platforms are currently sitting unused. our environment editor nick clark reports now from the commer t 1st 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 perth is a barometer of the states, if 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 under way to open up the john's 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 gathers pace. sites like this will become more and more common. whitely wind farm, south of glasgow, the 2nd largest onshore wind farm in europe. across scotland, wind power is a big part of the energy mix in 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 renewable sources. which raises the question why the need to invest in new oil field at all? this is a, 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 her we, holmes, i hope, the fuel or transport system. so we need to go in that transition. we need to go and not revolution, and that will happen over a period of time. back in chrome, it's either the yellow stanchions of offshore wind turbine. stan sentinel, ready to be deployed out at sea, where the petroleum platform has rained for decades. as the oil rig becomes slowly redundant, the renewable sector is expanding a pace. 3 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 crating 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, much more on that. and of course, all the latest from the cock, 26 climate summit to in glasgow on the website. ah, now 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 fact that al bowden says he's committed the hunting power to a civilian leadership. nor allowed them.
