sous the israeli spyware maker at the center of the pegasus scandal. it wants to prevent in it. so from using is devices or software. ah, united states is releasing at 50000000 bows of oil from its strategic reserves. it's part of a coordinated effort with several other nations to tackle soaring fuel prices and combat inflation. president bar made the announcement after coming under increasing pressure to act. our white house correspondent, kimberly how could reports ahead of one of the busiest travel holidays of the year . thanksgiving. you as president joe biden announced the release of 50000000 barrels of crude oil from america's emergency stockpile, known as the strategic petroleum reserve. the big part of them,

of the reason americans are facing high gas prices because oil producing countries and large companies have not ramped up the supply of oil quickly enough to meet the demand. the reserve holds a one month supply had current u. s. consumption levels. it's intended for dealing with supply disruptions caused by things like natural disasters, not for managing prices, but the white house has been under pressure to tap into reserves as gas prices continue to rise in the u. s. leading to falling approval numbers in recent months for the president. the biden administration also says for the 1st time it has coordinated similar releases from countries like china, japan, and south korea. the united kingdom says it will allow oil companies to voluntarily release their reserves to help supply. biden is also cracking down on gas

companies who have been enjoying lower oil prices in recent weeks, but not passing savings on 2 americans. that's why vash, the federal trade commission to consider whether potentially illegal and i competitive behavior in the oil and gas industry is causing at higher prices for consumers. the bottom ministration touts clean energy as an alternative to costly fossil fuels. but the u. s. infrastructure is nowhere near ready to achieve that goal. my effort to combat climate change is not raising the price of gas. all eyes will now be on opec plus countries, which include saudi arabia, other gulf nations, and russia. they must decide now how to respond to this latest move. there is a big risk for them if they get the production numbers up too high, because they're not sure what economic underline economic growth looks like. a fight for control of the global energy market could now be underway. opec plus

officials war if a potential response, if president biden and other world leaders tapped into their reserves. opec plus is scheduled to meet next week. kimberly, how can al jazeera, the white house inflation across the world has also been linked to supply chain disruptions and a global shortage of chips used in sectors raging from phones to cause has hit manufacturing. now south korean electronics giant, samsung has announced plans to build a semi conductor factory in the us state of texas worth $17000000000.00 construction set to begin next year with operations to start in 2024. rosalind jordan joins us live from washington, d. c. so was the, what more we learned about this? well, this is the uh, sunken facility for samsung in the austin, texas area. austin, of course, is the capital of the state of texas. and that facility that samsung has had in

that city has been there for about 25 years. this facility is going to be much larger. it's going to be located in a small suburb about 30 minutes away from downtown. it's going to comprise some 5000000 square meters, and it should hire between 1502000 people. once the plant is open for a business. now this is also going to bring about $6000.00 jobs in related construction and so re cost. during the construction period, but in a state of 29000000 people, that's a drop in the bucket. that said, this is the single largest of foreign investment in the state of texas as history added bank. so good on a promise that to both a state officials and federal officials have said about trying to bring manufacturing back to the united states. so from the political perspective,

how important is this then for the, the biden administration? well, this is really important, not just for the biden administration, but for republicans in congress and in a local governments as well. this is one of those where examples where both of parties are members come together around a common cause. and that is the cause of business and the cause of causing employment. however, it is worth pointing out that texas is what they call a right to work state. that means it's very difficult for unions to actually of form in that state. and employers do have the right to let people go from their employment. whether or not they do belong to a union. it's much easier than an in a state that has strong union protections. there's also the fact that for the 1st 10 years of this new plants existence, samsung is going to get a rebate on up to 93 percent of its property taxes. property taxes are what paying

for public services in the state of taxes. and so while everyone is saying this is a good thing, economically, there are going to be questions raised about whether this corporation will be paying its fair share once the of plant is up and running. rosalind, thank you. rosalind jordan, a in washington force our jury in the us state of georgia, has wrapped up his 1st day of deliberations in the trial of ahmed aubrey's death. demonstrated gathered outside the court in brunswick, calling for the 3 white men accused of chasing down and killing him to be convicted of murder. 25 year old black man was jogging through their neighbourhood when he was shot dead last year. graphic video of the incident was leaked on line of the prosecution made a final pitch for conviction before the jury began deliberating, dismissing the defendant's claims of self defense. in this case, they made for different companies including the aggravated shock than

they started that they do not get to claim self defense. and then of course, provocation, you can't force someone to defend themselves against you. so you get to claim self defense. this isn't the law of last. well, she returns he has more from outside the court in brunswick, georgia. i think that's one of the key. key issues now is whether the actions of these 3 men were just the perfectly reasonable actions or 2 of those who are concerned about crime in the neighborhood they would re running through. and they wanted to say, well why, why, why is this matter in our neighborhood? that have been, have been robberies over the course of several months and they chased him to see what he was doing. he didn't stop. then they cornered him. there was an altercation and he was killed and then the process. the prosecution. however, in her rebuttal, the was saying, look, you're saying that you are trying to tell us citizens arrest which is allowed under

the law or in the state of georgia. but if you do so, you have to seen aubrey, commit some kind of crime. and even if you were doing this in the rest, you can use excessive force that's killing him in some sort altercation out of self defense because you will fight and of him will you call them so defensive? you are the ones who instigated instigated the altercation? the prosecutor saying, you just have the unhappy about a black man running through your predominantly white neighborhood as you, especially one half if, when he wasn't a bang your orders. but why would he be your orders? who would a baby orders free men in to pick up trucks? 2 of them heavily oem do you don't actually know. and you know, companies are reasonable to a beta of a their orders, but in the end there, this is a jury of 11 white people. one black person in the deep south. and the question is whether others also thing, wo, i don't like it either with a live person runs through my neighborhood. what are they doing necessarily?

a 17 watch premises leaders and organizations in the us have been ordered to pay more than $25000000.00 in damages for violence that erupt during a fall right rally in 2017. the law suit was brought by 9 people who suffered physical and emotional injuries. during a unite the right rally in charlottesville, virginia, following day a woman was killed when a call ran into counter protest. the world health organization is warning. there could be another 700000 deaths from code 19 in europe by march. the daily rate has been doubling since late september. covered 1900 patients in the netherlands are being transported across the border to germany, to east pressure on hospitals. weekly infections hit a new record on tuesday, prompting the government to introduce new restrictions protests against them of turn violence. the $21.00 arrested during 4th day of unrest. andrew simmons has moved from rock to them. was seeing now really

a lot of concern on the streets. you saw last friday on this street and the of the riots and the police actually opened fire with live rounds for protest as were injured. that is now com. but don't forget that there is still concern about restrictions here because the level of restrictions is reasonably high. it has to be said, there is a work from home policy. there are restrictions where i d, 's have to be used for vaccines to get into public places, bars and restaurants around here. we close at 8 o'clock every night. and there are other restrictions to now moves to make some of those restrictions into law. making people really concern, so yes, there is really a division in people. and the stunning plan is that 84 percent,

all people here are vaccinated. so that's a high number. and a high infection rate, it doesn't really fit some claim. it's behavior over the people here, but this is a situation that's alarming to all concerned. the german government is considering further measures. as corona, virus infections hit record highs there. some officials are calling for public spaces to be restricted to vaccinated people, or those of recently recovered from cope with 19 authorities in the french overseas territory of martinique. se, protest is open fire during a demonstration against cobra. 19 restrictions protests against the strict vaccination requirements imposed by the french government. of course civil unrest in both martinique and guadalupe french president emanuel has sent special forces to the caribbean islands to help defuse the situation. all right, still ahead on the edge. is it a? was a pod. why many in south africa's poor city of cape town. so that being pushed out

of areas to house, the rich ah, ah, look forward to brighter sky's the with sponsored by cuts on a ways. right. when to proper has tucked in now was snow falling in the northeast of china having come out of mongolia, the cold wind, an arctic wind really going across the still open waters, but it's a huge number of snow showers in the western slopes of han shared ha carter possibly enough for warnings of avalanches in a couple of days time. even if not that we've already got gail warnings on the coast is a strong wind, but it's left behind. a vast amount of sunshine attempt is on the low side, will creep up a little bit in the next day or so. it's a dry pictures throughout china now. it's not us human as it was in hong kong, but it's still $24.00 warm degrees. that ne, one,

so now settin will tend to give you rain. nissan. sal is on as it is in vietnam and cambodia. it's not going to the same in bangkok. finally, nolan and central thailand is dry, as is most of mere marks. if in the far south, and you will get periods of flooding in bangalore, ro, hyderabad, and chin eyes, you know, they don't normally exist this time the year, but they have been now we settled down to a normal pattern with sri lanka and html. now to bring the wet his places in this season, unfortunate the northern plane of both india and pakistan and much of the pole suffers in the cities from persistent poor quality. oh, the weather, sponsored by cataract ways. oh, the curly 19 pandemic has led to a spike in child trafficking across india. one. it's those fighting to say hon children on al jazeera

ah al jazeera. with with the me. again, you're watching as a reminder of our top stories, u. s. government is releasing 50000000 barrels of oil from its strategic reserves. it's part of a coordinated effort with several nations to reversed soaring fuel crisis and combat inflation. a jury in the u. s. state of georgia is considering its verdict in the racially charged trial. over ahmed aubrey's test,

free white men are accused of chasing down and killing 25 year old black men. last year. the world health organization is wanting that could be another $700000.00 deaths from koby, non teen in europe by march. cases have been rising as the weather gets cold with the daily rate doubling its late september. apple has filed a lawsuit against israeli cyber for its controversial hacking tool. the iphone make us as n as so goose pegasus software tracked and targeted apple uses in the u. s, it's the latest industry of companies and governments to pursue the tech company. earlier this month, us officials placed it on a trade blacklist, or j the jody west be joins us live now from washington dc. he is his chief executive officer at global cyber risk, a cyber risk management firm. thanks so much for being with us. so how significant is it then? the iphone maker is now going off to us now going to and i,

so it's very significant because the software was developed to target iphones and android mobile phones. so if apple can succeed and get a ban or an injunction so that the n s o software can not be used on their phones, it will effectively kill they as the market for the software. so it's a very big move by apple. one that i'm very glad to see them take, i think it's very important. oh and it's a group, it's part has broadly denied any, any wrong doing here. and they, they say that it's products have been used by governments to, to tackle terrorism and, and crime. what, what do you say to that that they are trying to hide, but they're fear mongering and they're trying to hide behind terrorists and peta files. and the fact is they aren't trotting out examples of terrorism and head of

files and their technology successfully defeating that. what we're seeing is governments that have use this technology to suppress human rights and civil rights and ways that are countered to democratic principles and certainly in the united states national security interests. so they are just simply trying to hide behind israeli defense licenses for the technology and also claiming that it can be used to catch bad guys while the bad guys may be in us. so. but in the meantime, while, while all of this plays out in the legal arena, what can, what can smartphone uses do to to make themselves more more cyber, secure in know, we're going to tax like this, it's getting better. ah, so amnesty international has developed a tool that they say will help to test if this technology is on your phone. and

apple has said that they will donate any i think, has gotten donating money like $10000000.00 plus any other proceeds they get from the lawsuit to organizations like the monks center in toronto and amnesty international. and some of these organizations that have targeted this detected this malware and, and have made a coordinated effort globally for it to be investigated. but it's very difficult if you think you have this malware on your phone, it's very difficult to detect. and you can try to use one of these tools but, but the best thing to do is throw your phone away, do not transfer anything on the phone, get a new phone and start over. good to talk to jody wispy jonas that hi salinas. thank you for your interest in this or the president of kenya and south africa. i have called for a cease fire in ethiopia. it comes as footage has emerged of thousands of federal

troops being held as prisoners of war by t g. ryan fighters, victoria, again, be reports i some of prime ministers, abbey ahmed soldiers, and now prisoners of war, and the 2 grains have been parading them before the cameras. the presidents of kenya and south africa say all parties must commit to ending the violence. we expressed our conviction that the school for barb, i'm answering parties in europe. i beg, with attempts to commit to rude magic in reference. negotiated says wire and inclusive political dialogue. as the woodrow was closer to the ethiopian capital plans to defend addis ababa or intensifying these women have joined a neighbourhood protection, forced to guard against advancing rebel forces. they've set up road blocks,

a searching vehicles for weapons and a checking people's documents. but they haven't, but the ball as a lug nuts and meghan, we women believe that random security checks and passes by a very important we also encourage others to do the same. because when we do this, we have no doubt that strangers have records with their shockey direct. abby has informed the nation that he's going to the front line where he'll personally lead the army. and his asked the theo pins to join him in what he calls the battle to save the nation. the u. s. is calling the military escalation, alarming, and says it threatens any diplomatic progress between the government and to grain forces at us as under great threat. ah, and it also means that there is likely to be considerably more suffering and people should leave now to avoid the worst possible sin scenario, which could be ah,

alexander lucas shanker. of trying to destabilize the block by encouraging migrants to cross into poland. it says it wants to stop punishing transport companies involved in human trafficking of lock has rejected. lucas shank, a suggestion that had taken more refugees. stevenson is on the bell russian side of the border where my grants are taking shelter from freezing temperatures. well, conditions in this camp here are getting harsher and harsher by today. it was freezing overnights in the last couple of weeks, but now it's also freezing. during the day and it has started to snow, not goods very must be feeling very cold. this place is not, or someone can live with it all like children cannot live inside this building. is the warehouse not for living? this is how they're getting some water. this is how people are washing their

clothes in the middle of the month and where they go to the toilet. there's a center here where they can spend a night, but many are cramped to get a money. a coughing money are getting ill. so increasingly people are choosing to be repaired, created, they leave to the back door, officials take them to the airport. but there's also quite a significant group assess, we're not going anywhere we keep waiting until germany takes them in. and there's not a group who at night, tries to fill, sneak into the polish border and try to cross secretly. but conditions of course have very difficult in this winter here. it is really cold temperatures. people have died already trying to cross and so it's a very desperate situation. i will say developers in the south african city of cape town, i'll be accused of putting the needs of the rich before the poor. people are being

evicted from shelters to make way for new buildings. for me to miller reports. living on the sidewalk and shelters built of scrap metal and plastic sheeting, this group of homeless people in cape town have been here for 2 years now in 2019. they occupied a vacant old people's home on the site days later, city authorities evicted them and demolished the building. right in this up, up now, together with every 40 this out. so now, when they are kicking us out, they are showing that they want to keep this city white. they don't want anyone to here except right between his in his city. while the eviction has been taken to court, the lives of people here remain in limbo. this lands been sold to a developer and barbara's hoping the courts will intervene. there is definitely a prioritization of capital in our city, and the needs of the poor are not being met if they are. if housing development, software aged is usually created on far flung areas on the outskirts of our city.

and which just in effect replicates, the spatial affected that, that has plagued the city of cape town since colonialism. but the city says it's working to integrate different communities within the inner city, and that is developing 10 sites for affordable housing. and that over 10 years it's built close to $70000.00 low cost units. but there's a backlog of 300000 people waiting for a home. and the city says it has to prioritize those at the top of the waiting list . any projects that quinton has qualifying for insurance. now, let me make an example if tomorrow you, you know, very well doctor in this particular development next to parliament, we're going to benefit not as someone was being a victim elsewhere. and then that person will remove you from our parts drugs. we put some on that, so it come different because we have to accommodate from some of the person who has was qualified and who's been waiting. but you're in a suburb of woodstock family,

say they've been on the waiting list for housing for more than a decade. one of them is chanel commando and a family who are now being evicted from a home. they've lived in for generations. this community is also taken city authorities to court to avoid being moved to outline areas set. you're officially have had to relocate thousands of people evicted from prime land within the city. well, sometimes they're willing to move many others complain. it's often to the outskirts of cape town to areas like this one where there are a few of facilities. and it's further away from the city where there are work opportunities. people at the 3 settlement camp say where they live is pushing them further into poverty. in a city already plagued by deep economic disparities. for me to mila al jazeera caped on november is black consciousness month. in brazil, it has the largest black population outside of africa, and was the last country in the americas to abolish slavery. it's 1988 constitution

pledge to amend rungs of the past. the 3 decades later black brazilians are still battling for their rights. monica yanna q reports from among a cheaper this meeting takes place every november in the settlement of slave descendants. it's a moment to relive stories of brazil's dark and silent path. doesn't mean many say slavery is over, but we still feel its consequences can undergo a lot of pressure to leave the lands, 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 percent of their projects that changed when they were put under state protection. austin, barley brothers, jo kellum boil, 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. it evolved, philippe 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, the monga chiva, columbus scored an important victory. the brazilian state finally recognized its plans, which include landmarks of the settlements difficult past. these are the ruins of one of many plantations in rio de janeiro that thrived until brazil became the last american nation. to abolish slavery in 1888. your zonal dameon was takes her son to the places where their african ancestors were forced to work. slavery may have ended 133 years ago, and blacks in brazil now up number wise. but the struggle for equal rights, she tells him, is far from over monica and not give al jazeera munger at sheba. ah, get around of now the top stories on.
