unity, how are these violent crime syndicates operating adobe is really authorities doing enough to combat them? a palestinian israeli crime waived on al jazeera ah. ready the u. s. and 5 other nations released millions of barrels of oil from strategic reserves curb rising energy prices. ah, hello there, i'm is darcy at hand. this is out there at life and also coming up if you of his prime minister pledges to lead troops against to grind rebels who are advancing towards the capital. the un, once the future of lebanon's children is at stake with millions going hungry or forced to drop out of school. the use says it's working on more sanctions against

that. a roost accusing it of using desperate people to d, stabilize its neighbors. ah, now the white house says it's releasing 50000000 barrels of oil from its strategic reserves. it's a coordinated effort with several nations to stop soaring fuel prices. the biden administration has been under increasing pressure to act petrol. prices have now more than doubled compared to a year ago. china, india, south korea, japan and the u. k. or also releasing oil from their reserves. our white house correspondent, committee hock. it has more. what this president doesn't want is americans thinking about him and blaming him for the high gas prices when they fill up their fuel tanks. so this is in many cases political, but it also has to do with what we've been seeing the united states for recent

weeks and months now. and that is overall rising prices. it's not just the price of gasoline which out in california is about $5.00 a gallon here a d. c. it's about a hovering under $4.00 a gallon. so it really varies where you are in the country, but it's other things as well. the cost of food, the fact that there's been a supply chain crisis in the united states and globally, which means that many retailers can't keep the shelves stock. so all of this is leading to a problem for the president politically, that is low approval ratings. the president doesn't want to see those fall any further, or have people gathered around the table, grumbling and calling out his name. so the timing is strategic on the part of the president. and his hope is that will alleviate things and get the economy as well. moving in the drive right direction in conjunction with his policies, it is a short term solution. the strategic petroleum reserves is really just about a month supply in terms of us consumption. and it's typically not tapped for these

reasons. typically it's tap for cases of crisis like a hurricane or other natural disaster as the problem is. and this is what many critics are saying is that this may ultimately drive prices up higher because what this doesn't do is address that the global supply issue. now to the pandemic than the world health organization is wanting, that europe could face another 700000 deaths from coven 19 by early next year. cove in 19 patients in the netherlands are now being transported across the border to germany to try to ease pressure on hospitals. the numbers are also expected to increase fathers cases rise to record levels. plans by the dutch government imposed further restrictions of also led to rising there in recent days, while the german government is now considering further measures as corona, various infections, they're also hit record highs. some officials are calling for public spaces to be restricted to only vaccinated people. those who recently recovered from coven 19,

or dominant cane as in berlin, where he is monitoring the situation for us across europe. part all the new rules that were brought in last week is that when the incidence, the hospitalization incidence reaches a certain level then harder measures kick in. so obviously receiving patients from other hard hit countries is going to have an impact on that hospitalization rate. but it's worth making the points that here in this country, the numbers are in some people's minds. and when i say people, i mean politicians who are making decisions is catastrophic. so for example, the prime minister of the politically important satan, the south bavaria has been tweeting to day. that's in his state right now. every 25 minutes, one person dies of corona will, that's extrapolated to a 24 hour rate is 50 and more every day, more than 50 bavarian. so dying of corona point here is in terms of the actual

numbers. 2 different milestones are in people's minds. the 1st one has already been exceeded more than 5000000 cases in this country, since the pandemic began. and the 2nd one, which is perhaps psychologically much more significant, is going to happen the next 2 days, potentially a 100000 people dead in this country. from corona right now, it's just below 99 and a half 1000, but with 300 people dying every day in this country from cove. it chance to saw that in a couple of days time that mark will be reached on our authorities, on the french territory. of martinique as a protest, as they opened fire during a demonstration against coven 19 restrictions. there have been protests against french vaccination requirements, and both martinique and guadalupe now french president. emanuel mack on has sent special forces to the caribbean islands to help the fuse. what he calls a very explosive situation moving on and the president of kenya and south africa

are calling for a ceasefire in ethiopia and saying all parties must commit to ending the violence that's after ethiopia. as prime minister said he will travel to the front line to lead the military against rebel forces. the year long conflict has intensified in recent months with fighters from the northern t right region advancing towards the capital victoria gate and b begins. are coverage, ethiopians. prime minister says it's time to lead by personal example. it's a dramatic new step in the conflict. it's devastated the northern te gray region in a statement released on social media abbey and had said, this is a time when leading a country with martyrdom is needed. i will go to the front line and lead the military from the ground myself. those of you with your pins, he want to be remembered by history for the sake of your country, join me in the fight to day. unless say it's an unusual moved by the prime minister . i think it is assigned a hope for that doc will also mobilize other with your beans to join the military

forces. and though to join the war against the decay and defense forces. but certainly, it is also a sign of desperation. in response to the prime minister's statement, the spokesman for the tea gray people's liberation front tweeted abby's mimicry of ethiopia, as will time empress has taken on an old 2, palpable skits of frantic overtone. i would have dismissed this as yet another sick joke, abby, would it a military offensive against the t p. a left last november saying it was in response to attacks on army bases. the t p left says it was unfairly targeted. but in june this year to graham fight is recaptured, the regional capital mckelly and then now advancing on the capital, addis ababa. despite a flurry of recent diplomatic activity, a cease fire has not been reached. and analysts say the language used by abby and monday statement is worrying. he does have a military background if you look at his nobel prize speech from some years ago. he

used a lot of war imagery to talk about the latitude learned about the hell of war. but here we are in almost full circle, the nobel peace prize winner are using the most bellicose language on to try to, you know, ramp up the stakes ahead of the defense. not only of ethiopia pregnant in life and death, you know, he basically, he's willing to die for the cause. both sides of the conflict continue to maintain hard line positions and upset preconditions ahead of any negotiations. victoria gate and b algae 0. while meanwhile, rebels in ethiopia take our region and put on a public display of government soldiers that they've captured thousands of federal troops. as you can see there are being held as prisoners of war in the regional capital nicolay as fighting continues, independent journalists. i'm, we'll get it you as an addis ababa with the latest the prime ministers insisting that he is heading to the battle ground. he is going to be the force that go into

quote, unquote bury the enemy with our bones and blood. this has been a bloody war in the shop, in history. the last year has produced millions of victims and he is. he is moving forward to make sure that the open government tide will win. but the other side is also insisting that they're going to be. they're going to win this conflict, begun and try has progressed to hara and 40 region again, 15000000 people. but again, the u. s. invoice of last night was in, in the sub of trying to settle this. the u. s. seems to be a which issue among the opens accused of siding with the t p and left. there was also thousands of europe and ask for us that came out. yes said the voicing concern that the u. s. was getting involved too much, trying to take the example of syria and i'm going to stand in iraq to ethiopia,

which is important nation among the horn of africa, nations. the job title saying that the pen f looking is looking at ending the premiership of i'll be, i'm at the prime minister, but the other side is saying they're really looking for trying to open humanitarian corridor that was lacking before this conflict, really came close to the server, but they took the site is also blaming them. so this is one of those conflicts, you know, same, fucked, different versions. this is what the conflict has been so far. moving on and investigations have begun and fall guerria into the west bus crash in its history. at least 46 people were killed after fire and gulf. the bus that was returning to north macedonia from turkey. only 7 people on board survived where we challenged the charred wreckage of the bus makes clear how intense the fire must have been. the vehicle crashed and burned on the bulk area and highway. in the middle of the

night, it was taking mostly north macedonian tourists, back home after a weekend trip to assemble. but it's not yet known. why so few people made it off, alive, or what caused this disaster in the 1st place. this damage suggest the bass hit a barrier before carrying on to crash into the central reservation. bulk air is interior minister said he was deeply shocked by what he'd seen was. not everyone can stun such a picture. the picture is terrifying. the details of this tragedy will be investigated north macedonia, foreign minister visited survivors in hospital, in bulk areas capital. sophia also will need to go there for i'm here in the hospital to get more information. what we know is that a horrible tragedy has happened in bulgaria with the bus that carried not macedonian nationals were traveling from his tumbled to copier. they were over 53 passengers in the bus. dozens of them, my children,

over 40 were killed. some of the wounded but concert here. but let me 1st see the situation and i'll be back later with more police in north macedonia, have begun an investigation into as a trends the bus and travel company. this man came to its shattered office in north macedonia capital scope here, looking for news of his nephew for marcia, should i so information about the crash at 6 am this morning. i saw it on the internet and as my nephew was in turkey, i started searching on the internet. i called the trans for the number, for 34 hours. we do not have any information for them, nor are they answering the phone. and the investigation continues by daylight on the stream or highway into the worst bus crash in bulk area in history will reach helen's how to 0. all stella had here on al jazeera as a bizarre, as it can help urine out of its energy crisis. why the nato could cause the serious complications in the region and the consequences of slavery. why brazil's black

those likely on the western slopes of honshu and her car there in the sunshine, elsewhere we attempted to be below normal in beijing added. so for example, in india, it's not a big surprise to find flooding in bigler. this time the year it's the ne monsoon, every now to can you do get that check. i was hit a lot worse a couple of weeks ago. i suspect we'll see more to say more showers in this general area. but the focus is for the south town, not at all, sir lanka for the next day or 2. northern india, nepal and pakistan suffering from poor culture is tamya, which is seasonally correct. bit of a breeze coming down through the gulf, bernice of dust with it too. for example, there are the weather sponsored by cattle airways voted world best airline of 2021 in the country with an abundance of results trade far and walk indonesia, his friends for me, we moved full to grow and fraud. we balance for green economy, blue economy, and the digital economy with the new job creation law,

being shifted to germany, to ease pressure on hospitals. now germany is considering further restrictions if europe is prime minister says he'll travel to the front line on tuesday that lead the military against rebel forces the year long war with the t p. f is intensified in recent months as the armed group advances towards the capitol. while the european union says it's now coordinating with britain the us and canada to impose more sanctions on beller roost, the e u as accusing president alexander lucre sango, trying to destabilize the block by encouraging migrants to cross and to poland. lucas anchor says he is returned another $118.00 refugees and migrants to their own home countries. and he blames the e. u for the crisis after it rejected his suggestion that had taken more refugees. a particularly cool form of hybrid threat has emerged with a state sponsored instrumental is ation of people for political ends. this is not

a bi lateral issue of poland, lud friendly swan. ja with bella was, it is the european union as a whole that is being challenged. this has been initiated and organized by the lucas shanker regime and its supporters, uring people to the border with the corporation of migrant smugglers and criminal networks. on the la poland, prime minister says his diplomatic efforts have helped, but the crisis is far from over scotland. there are many signs indicating the fact that this crisis will not come to a swift. and we have 2 things and take measures against it for you must be realistic. and therefore we have initiated a very widespread diplomatic campaign attack with in europe. but also asia thought or rather sub sikowski is a member of the european parliament. and also the former foreign minister of poland . he told al jazeera how he thinks the better russian president triggered this

crisis on the border. we do need to understand the origins of this psalm crisis. mister lucas, and call her abrogated the readmission treaty with the european union. then abolished visas. are with iraq with jordan, with several other countries, and then gave the green light to people smugglers to bring those migrants to be yellow roofs. i also remember that below roofs from the migrants point of view is a safe country. it's a dictatorship. all right, it's not safe for bill russians, but there were people from afghanistan, iraq, and elsewhere studying the before this crisis. mr. lucas, and course trying to do what president of the one of turkey did in 2015, which is to force the european union into a negotiation. and to pay him for stopping the the, the operation of sending the refugees across the lines. it could have asked,

or at least accepted the assistance of the european union. and from takes months ago that the reason why the migrants are now going home is that the european union . i asked her airlines, particularly from them at least not to fly people. one way to mens internally, it's been this crisis has been somewhat useful to the polish current polish government. but it did not ask for these migrants to try to cross the border. and you know, in the european union we have the so called shang in zone. once you cross the external body of the you, you can move around the european union without passports without visas, without any checks whatsoever for this system to work. the external perimeter has to be controlled on living on to sri lanka where a court has wrapped up its 1st day of the trial of 25 men. charged with carrying

out the 2019 easter bombings near facing more than $23000.00 offenses, including murder among them is the alleged mastermind. he is also accused of having links to i sole, $267.00 people were killed in those attacks on churches and luxury, hotels, and colombo, or nearly 80 percent of lebanon's population is now estimated to be living below the poverty line. the un says that's forcing families to make decisions out of desperation, and calling on the country to take urgent action to protect children after documented, arise, and child labor. santa caught a reports now from beverage, children at work. their numbers are increasing in a country where a worsening economic crisis is pushing more people into poverty. nearly 8 and 10 people in lebanon are now poor. nearly half of the workforce is unemployed. those who still have jobs struggle because of the collapse and the value of the local

currency. for many like measure their of de la, this means having to decide whether to send their children to school and different schooling. i have 5 children to of the teenagers. don't go to school any longer. they work at a hair salon and da cafe to help us pay bills. so after she had them, they are among the victims of lebanon to economic collapse and skyrocketing inflation. that has particularly affected children. a recent study by the u. n. c, a child agency. unicef shows 3 in 10 households have cut spending on education for in 10 have been forced to sell household items to buy basic goods. 7, in turn have had to buy food on credit or using borrowed money. the united nation says living conditions have deteriorated dramatically in just a few months with more children going to bed hungry and not receiving the health care they need. i never seen a guy who was mother noticed in this country before,

but the recent that i witnessed by myself a child who is really suffering from malnutrition. so those are the mothers and fathers who are being forced to take this parent majors only because they need to survive. all marielli is among them. this vegetable seller used to be able to support his family before the financial meltdown began 2 years ago. not any longer one and that means alicia and hollywood are among what the un says are the 260000 children of school age whose education is at risk. their father tells us the priority is to feed them anemone, owed about going on to say i can send them to school every day because i don't make enough to give them pocket money or to buy the books stationary and all other items they need it and hundreds of thousands of children are already living without the

basic needs being met. and the lack of political will to change a system that has inflicted misery on the population means the crisis is set to worse than, than other osha theater. beirut, how the head of the international atomic energy agency says he's hoping to reach common ground with iran on a nuclear program. profile grossi is meeting senior rainy and officials into iran, negotiations with wild leaders to try to salvage the 2015 nuclear dia, all set to resume next week. meanwhile, the, the, you nuclear watchdog agency says it's inspectors have not been able to access surveillance footage. but nuclear science since february there are a number of issues that we are working on as the president just said. it's very important that we put this in the perspective of the peaceful nuclear program of iran at a time where climate change demands that we worked together,

that we had cleaned nuclear energy to the mattresses around the world. i see it was discussed just a few days ago in glasgow while many european countries are currently facing an energy crisis. how supplies, especially from russia, are declining as the by john is a major oil and gas supplier in the region and wants to fill that gap, said em cost yearly reports now from the capital. becky, awe as our bay jones economy is filled by its gas and oil production. the country now has its, i sat on europe, synergy crisis. it says it has the supply to easier. if scrubbing demand, we are already just substantial, if not a serious player in the turkish market in georgia and market in the markets of greece, italy, and bulgaria. but we have huge interest from the side of the others from the

eastern european countries from the balkan countries from central european countries. much of its natural gas supply is exported through what's called the southern gas corridor, which runs from the caspian sea through parts of georgia, turkey and then to europe. as our b, john's production is small compared to big players in the energy game. but with this gas corridor, it is ready to carry other resources like gas from took matter stump to the you, going after a bigger piece of the market. by increasing its energy production other bri, john could bring in more investments and gain political leverage in its region. but this could also threaten its relationship with russia, a major life. and one of the world's biggest energy suppliers. either be john says it is not competing with moscow, but some say that could be geopolitical complication from the existing monopolistic

supplier. also, as i said in the beginning, uses it's supplies of energy to your for geopolitical reasons for geo political inputs. we see that right now, right now when russia has not deliver gas to gas storage facilities in europe throughout the summer, and has decided not to do what it normally has, which is increase supplies to europe when you're asked for more. because gus problem in russia are trying to pressure the european union. there are concerns russia, disputes with ukraine and other european partners could these lies in or just supply. russia provides about 45 percent of the european union, natural gas, ne, but demand is growing, and it appears russia can't or won't keep up. if the look at what is happening in terms of energy security and some fluctuations of energy. pro, prep provision of energy sources and just apply to some countries in europe for

example. and as a bridge, i'm being able to deliver its natural gas to europe enables these countries, this consumers to access to alternative source of energy. european leaders, fear to energy crisis may get worse before it gets better, as john hope it will turn into an opportunity that will secure its rule in the market. so, you know, sort of back to us or by john now, a jury in the state of georgia has begun its deliberations and the highly charged armored aubrey mad at trial defense attorneys for 2 of the 3 white men charged with killing the black man. have tried to present him as the criminal demonstrators. they are gathered outside the court on monday, calling for the men to be convicted. now, november is black conscience, month in brazil, it has the largest black population outside africa and was also the last country in the americas to abolish slavery. heads 1980 at constitution pledged to amend wrongs

of the past. but now 3 decades lays at black brazilians are still battling for their rights. monahan, if you have reports now from garrett sheba, this meeting takes place every november in the settlement of slave descendants. it's a moment to relieve stories of brazil's dark and silent path, but even of meal missy slavery's over. but we're still felix consequences can undergo a lot of pressure to leave the lance, which are rightfully ours. 62 families live in the sky long women got out. she bought 130 kilometers from the city of rio de janeiro. it's one of the $5000.00 communities scattered around brazil built by former slaves. many of them had run away, hiding from their masters. the 1988 constitution gave their descendants the right to claim their lands and keep their traditions like small scale farming. c that's

easier said than done the munger. tobac kulown boy has been at the center of a battle with an investment company that wants to build a resort on it's lance isaac university on which will not negotiate our history, nor our rights were only here today because we resisted otherwise would have been kicked out until recently, people who live here, we're not allowed to win toward leave the settlement freely. they were stopped at the gate built by the company and forced to hand over 50 per cent of their projects . that changed when they were put under state protection laws that are barley brothers, jo gillam ball, which stepped in because their lives were being threatened and are still at risk of the eco invest company. doesn't allow the electrical company to install electricity in the colombo, a devout de phillipe, he blames the lack of electricity for the death of his oldest daughter, olivia. she had leukemia and needed medicine which had to be stored in a refrigerator, but we couldn't have one because we had no light. earlier this year,
