it is looking largely fine dry and settled. a change in the wind is going to drop the temperature slightly in places like doha. but it is looking largely fine and drive it further west was seen, the showers pick up around coastal areas of the red sea. and as we hope across to northern areas of africa is going to get very wet. indeed, for coastal areas of algeria to new zia, look what happens on monday. we'll have some of those strong winds blowing into libya as well as egypt and temperatures. here are slightly below the average for this time of year. now as we had to southern africa, we've got some storms pulling into tanza, near weather, weather as well stretching all the way from angola across southern botswana and on to south africa. so it's going to be a rather wet and windy start to the week for johannesburg. but the sunshine will be coming back through the cape town this week that she weather update, ah. on counting the cost, all may drawn puts oil and stock markets into a spin,

during a visit to castle, the french president said, efforts are underway to open a joint european mission in the afghan capital, monsieur mac. raul said the plan would allow several e, u ambassadors to share a building when they return to cobble. he also thanked cattle for its role in helping evacuate afghans during the taliban takeover. present assume was, will do year to day or representation. afghanistan has been done by our ambassadors from paris, but we are thinking of an organization as you know, among several european countries. and so our approach would be in conditions that have yet to be identified with the idea of having a common location for several europeans where our ambassadors and our administrators could be present. let me remind you, this is a different demarche from a political recognition or political dialogue with the taliban rop mcbride reports now from cobble. we are still waiting for a response from the taliban administration here, but given the deteriorating situation. i think they would welcome any kind of

diplomatic moves that would help them out at the, at the current time. it's not just recognition for recognition sake, but of course, what that would mean in allowing afghanistan to get the release of these funds that have been frozen to get access to financing really to help out at what is a deteriorating economic situation. i mean, we had a few days ago, this announcement that the world bank, for example, was pushing for hundreds of millions of dollars to finally be freed up to be sent to afghanistan to help out the situation here. but given the situation in dire predictions about the deteriorating humanitarian and economic situations, as we get into winter, really a lot more needs to be done. it does fall short of recognition people here. and i've got this done, understand that i think what is interesting is that as a member of the, your opinion, france seems to be not acting just on its own, but could well in setting up an office. here i bring other european nations with which it certainly got people here excited that they could lead to

a wider light diplomatic efforts from more european union countries. coinciding with this announcement, there was also been the arrival of 40 a 1000040 tons of aid from, from france. also, this comes after there has been all sorts of help from the taliban administration. or allowing at least the evacuation of up to 100 french national, some 400 afghans who had linked with the french and military continued here over over the years. so they don't seem to be all sorts of dealings going onto the background that we are not privy to. hope would be from the taliban perspective, that all of these gestures from it. it's part. 1 when it comes to these evacuation flights might lead potentially to a wider diplomatic overtures from more western countries. us president joe biden will hold a video call with the russian leader. let me put in on tuesday. that's confirmed by

the kremlin ukraine is likely to dominate those talks. washington has warned its prepared to take action against moscow if it invades ukraine. the number of russian troops has been rising along the border. on friday, mister by miss asked about the crisis by a reporter. this 2nd move. oh, i russia has stopped exporting coal to ukraine, saying it's had too much domestic demand this year kia depends on moscow for the resource to help power it's electricity stations. now there are fears about

blackouts as winter temperatures drop. charl stratford reports now from tourette's in eastern ukraine. home line close to the front line in easton. ukraine. bind such as this one, have helped fuel industry in the don bus region and across what was the soviet union for over a century. but ukraine remains dependent on russia to meet its energy needs, especially coal, which is vital for fueling ukrainian power stations. in 2014 pro russia, separatists seized control of the majority of the mines. further depleting, ukraine's access to coal decades of neglect means much of the mines infrastructure is close to collapse. yarbrough, though not just thought the equipment we have is from 1958 lack of investment and government negligence is one of the reasons why we face a shortage. things could be difficult this winter. another problem is that russia

caught ukraine's coal supply. last month. russia has recently stopped exporting coal to ukraine, saying that there's just too much domestic internal demand, all the natural resource. some analysts, so describing this is nothing short of blackmail and an effort by russia to weaponized. it's vast natural resources as a means of putting pressure on ukraine. and it's not just cold that russia is using to try and control your grain. these a gas pipelines similar to those that transport russian gas across ukraine to europe. europe relies on russia for around 35 percent of its energy needs. and ukraine gets paid transit fees, which were around 2000000000 dollars last year. for those days on nearly over the nord stream to pipeline which is expected to be opperation next year, bypasses ukraine. instead,

transporting gas from russia to germany under the baltic sea, russia. right to lead to divide euros for energy relations. ready was different states separately rather than with then go the european union from your perspective, this means that russia will have has free to believe station in. ready the brain more actively. germany has warned russia not to use its gas exports as a weapon, but has been criticized by other european states and ukraine for exposing here to more economic pressure from moscow. so analysts say, russia's aim of trying to keep ukraine in expire of influence is impossible. it is simply not possible to have that sort of control away our neighbors. we've all with the investing huge resources military as well as economy. because in the end,

as i seized on gracie, i think it moscow and age to modify its aids because very simply not really winter is just beginning yet is so worried about the potential electricity blackouts that it's been forced to start importing coal from as far away as the us columbia. so let's say economic, an energy pressure from russia will continue, because the whole ukraine talks about future nato and e. u membership. the moscow seas read. just wrap it al jazeera tor esque easton ukraine government plans in serbia to sell land. to him. the theme mining company are provoking protests. demonstrators say the self will have devastating effects on the environment. the mining giant, rio tinto is waiting for government approval for 2 and a half $1000000000.00 mining development. after discovering lithium reserves 15 years ago, onions or it reports now from the protest site. in belgrade. what you can see
