there was a life for my headquarters in del himes and also had the euro had to 20 or low reaching parity with the u. s dollar after concerns about rising gas and oil prices . one of the world's busiest airport, but some limit on the number of passengers who could fly out was after weeks of travel. and a deep dive into the conference. the 1st pictures from james west telescope reveal a sea of galaxies. ah, hello, the un security council in new york has passed a resolution to extend cross border, a deliveries into syria's last rebel held region, but only for 6 months. permission for shipments from turkey into northwestern, syria expired on monday. after russia vetoed an attempt to renew the mandate for
7:02 pm
a year. millions of people rely on the essential supplies that passed through the bible. how of crossing? we've heard repeatedly from the un and from n jose that renewal for 12 months was necessary to provide operational certainty so they could prepare to meet that humanitarian need, especially during the harsh months of winter. last friday, russia stopped this from happening with today's vote. innocent syrians can breeze no sigh of relief, the suffering and the uncertainty goes on without the confidence of at least 12 months. un agencies and n jose risk being caught in a perpetual cycle of pre positioning. and contingency planning,
7:03 pm
our diploma to get her turns base has more from the un on what this resolution means. the thing that i think meant meant that you saw 3 western countries who are so in favor and say that they stay so much want aid to go into syria. actually abstaining on this resolution is the fact that this resolution was almost exactly the resolution that russia had proposed on friday that the rest of the security council, with the exception of china, had voted against and said, was totally unacceptable. that 6 months wasn't good enough to renew this border, crossing and needed to be at least a year to allow the un to do it's logistical and financial planning to get that aide flowing constantly across the border. which more than 4000000 syrians rely on . they also are deeply unhappy that a 6 month extension would push the deadline. next time they have to do this in the security council is the beginning of january. the very harshest moment of winter when the humanitarian situation in syria and northern syria is at its worst,
7:04 pm
but they had no choice in the end. the norwegians and the irish who had been trying to negotiate here, took the russian resolution that was voted on and didn't pass last week after the other resolution for 12 months. the extension that had been proposed by orland in norway was vetoed by russia. they amended it with just a few words difference. all it says in the version that's just been passed, isn't the secretary general of the un has to come up with a report on the situation by the end of december. that's the only change. so in the end, russia, by sticking to its guns, has managed to in some ways, humiliate other members of the security council. it's got its way synagogue logo has just returned from the turkey syria border. she says n g o is working there. believe the veto power of the security council remains a threat to the delivery of age, extending to, you know, monetary and 8th elevate. northern syria for 6 more months may,
7:05 pm
is the pension for now, but it is not seen as a solution. international and local angels have always been a warning that planning and implementing such a white scale operation into northwest and syria, where 4500000 civilians reside records, longer than 6 months time. there are 4400000 civilians just and it's lip. and among all of them, 2400000 of them depend on international humanitarian 8. that's why they say 6 months time will not be a solution to the problems. as the children are facing a big risk of hunger and they are already undernourished. and the majority of the population are children and women, which is seen as the vulnerable segment of the society. some of the angels over the start that showing they have reactions saying that the world is just watching what's going on at that. and some of them say that monetary and actions should be
7:06 pm
taken away from your security council. as rush of veto is always a threat for the civilians. and i'll turn it to be plan must be stablished and local grassroots n g deals. in site, syria must empowers the euro, hit parity with the us dollar and trading on tuesday before seeing a slight rebound. it's the lowest evaluation of the currency since 2002. it's being driven by fears of a global recession. investors are anxious about a lack of growth across the years own. they're also concerned supplies of russian gas might be cut because of the war in ukraine. natasha butler has more from paris for the year has been falling since the beginning of the year. but the 1st time in 2 decades, the exchange rate between the euro and the dollar is pretty much the same. and there are a number of reasons for that high inflation, which is being fueled by the war in ukraine, added to that of course,
7:07 pm
ongoing concerns in europe over energy supplies, as you're tries to win itself for fresh and gas. but he's also concerned about russia cutting its existing gas supplies. on top of that, the u. s. federal reserve title interest rates much faster than the european central bank and all glasses meant that the dollar is much stronger. it's a much safer bet of for investors, particularly as some analysts say that the euro could continue to fool in the coming weeks. craig heirloom, as a senior market analyst at foreign exchange broker alondo, he expects the dollar to strengthen on the euro to weaken further in the coming. and the u. s. economy shown incredible resilience already and is expected to continue to do the same driven by a very strong labor market throw in as well. the fact that the u. s. dollar is seen as more of a safe haven in times of turbulence and we're sentences certainly seen turbulence across financial markets. currently, on the, all of these factors are really supporting the green bark against many of the
7:08 pm
different currencies than you are the downside pressure on the euro. with the gas flows and your certainty that's creating the 10 they scheduled shut down a russian gas through no stream warren. and the potential for that to last much longer is creating a huge cloud of uncertainty. stopping europe from topping up its reserves ahead of central treasury co winter. all of these factors are driving this. your dollar pay down to pirating continued to push it way below one. in the coming months. europe's been slower for 2 reasons. one is that it's economy is more fragile, you could argue, and i think we're certainly seeing signs of that already. people talking about a recession. the other is that inflation hasn't yet been as big a problem. you look at the headline number and sure you could say running a 4 times target around a percent are asked to be a massive problem. but the underlying inflation data would show that a lot of this is energy imported inflation and a supply side driven inflation still that we're not seeing the, the, in the ingrained data that we are seeing in the u. s. in the u. k. for example,
7:09 pm
which is why the central bank has also been more reluctant, but ultimately it's just hard to ignore the facts, even that in the your area. currently there's something needed to be done. and extraordinary measures of stimulus were just simply not justified at this time. ukrainian forces say they've destroyed a russian military, ammunition depot in the southern city of nova kac, cove, car and carrots on region. some nearby residential buildings have also been damaged . keith has called on civilians to leave parts of the region as it plans to launch new operations to retake areas last to moscow. alan fisher reports from keith this see the ukrainians is the destruction of an army depot. it's thought us supplied. high marsh rockets were launched that the site in the russian controlled region of cash song, the ukranian sea, $52.00 russian soldiers were also killed. but the most go back to authorities claim
7:10 pm
it was a fertilizer store, and 7 civilians have died. i'll just either cannot independently confirm either claim pictures taken in the daylight give some idea of the damage caused. the u. s . has been rushing missile systems to ukraine, believing they can help push back russian forces one u. s. sen, ards congress to same more and send them quickly when people understandably ask about our support for ukraine, our taxpayer funded aid to the tune of billions of dollars. they deserve to know that their heartburn taxpayer dollars have being spent wisely. in my view, that means many and on weapons like high mars, they're actually making a difference on the battlefield. the russians are believed to be in an operational pause in the east of the country, ready to push on and take the rest of the don't bus region. the pause is to restock refueling re supply, but that becomes much more difficult if the ukrainians are able to target and successfully destroy ammunition dump. some analysts say the rocket system could
7:11 pm
significantly delay russian progress. the ukranian president says he's glad to have them hooked up and yell at me. i want to thank the united states of america for its decision to provide ukraine with a new 400000000 dollar defense assistance package. additional hi, miles and other precision weapons allow us to take anti terrorist steps. they allow us to reduce russian strides with their missiles on our people, each active. but the u. s. believes the russians are also restocking tumbling to the iranians for you, ease or unmanned drones or ended information indicate that the iranian government is preparing to provide russia with up to several 100. you avi's, including weapons capable you avi's on an expert at expedited timeline. the u. s insist moscow has failed in its main strategic objectives in ukraine, but those in the east are bracing themselves for a major russian offensive. that could come in just stays. alan fisher al jazeera

7:13 pm
and this quarter, legitimate court in which russia is responsible because in law or it's the back, i have send them today and they'll be more judges in a month who could confirm that. and if they do, if they execute them, that will be it. so a war crime which the judges and the prosecutors will be guilty. and of course, in breaking law or in but here sure, apply become prison. the world. this is an act of murder and nice judges by passing the day would be a doing the banking murder. so if they ever venture to a country with ricky floor, they will find themselves arrested and put on try. ready for aiding and abetting.

7:23 pm
that deeply feel their loss on a personal level as well as the funeral ceremony was performed inside. so did you temple large crowds queued outside to lay floral tributes. so law firm doesn't say that there was a sense of security when he was prime minister. we felt safe with him in charge of the country and i supported him. so this really is quite unfortunate for the wrong . he was my favorite prime minister. so i came here to say good by many others had come to do the same thousands of people waiting quietly impatiently to pay their final respects to japan's former prime minister in the army. air heavy with the scent, the floral tributes they've wrought, but also a sense of this belief that the man who loomed so large over japanese life more than a decade. so suddenly and violently gone was the ceremony concluded, a herse containing obeys body, turned on to the streets, spontaneous applause and cries,

7:25 pm
such an individual whose com pass morrow come pass is very much unshakable. we doubt japan's security bill that shins arrive is spent so much amount of his political capital. you couldn't build an adequate amount of deterrence as against japan's neighbors, russia, north korea, china. why should take into consideration this countries faced with those 3 on democratic nuclear powers? are studying prime minister malcolm turnbull and scott morrison, both called machines alive, a visionary leader and the mentor to the lobby has built very good rapport. not only with donald trump, but also 3 successive presidents of the united states. 2 prime ministers of india,
7:26 pm
3 prime ministers of the. okay. so his focus attentions on the big picture sort of issues as earned reputation from among his g 7 colleagues, i'd have to say now says james web space telescope has captured a distinct signature of water on a distant planet. the discovery is the most detailed of its kind to date. scientists have been analyzing the 1st full color images from the telescope. the pictures taken by the james web space telescope are brimming with thousands of distant galaxies and stars. we are now going to be determining things that we don't even know what the questions are that we ought to ask. and so is one of these great engineering feats, not just for us, but for humanity, for planet earth,
7:27 pm
for the citizens of planet earth. so let zoom in for a closer look at the james webb telescope. the $10000000000.00 spacecraft is the largest and most powerful observatory to be sent into orbit. it's about one and a half 1000000 kilometers away from earth. and it's targeting distant galaxies, bright nebula, and far away giant gas planet. the orbit location was chosen because it's the optimum temperature to view the universe and infrared the wavelengths we feel as heat. and the look into the universe is a look back in time. the james web mission is to view the stars and galaxies that 1st emerged after the big bang theory. more than 13500000000 years ago. it will also investigate the potential for life in other galaxies. on top host is a space scientist who's worked on nasa mars missions. he says the discovery of water signatures on discipline is, is
7:28 pm
a scenario that's likely to keep playing out. this is the signature of water, not the signature of light. so all we're doing is we're looking at most, we're picking up signatures of something, life friendly materials. and so that will happen more and more. and you will see that there are many environments for life across the universe if these small what we call excel planets. so this will be all over and they'll be many, many destinations where probably there is life. so how do we benefit we are, we are doing the news, right? the real pretty fixated on the now and the here. but actually the here is very, very small. as i said, the universe has one trillion galaxy, the nice galaxy of the trillion star. so we are really anybody in significant that we are in saving that insignificant human risk as been around for maybe
7:29 pm
a 1000000 years. the universe is putting 1000000000 years old. so it does show us how insignificant we are and kind of help us find our bedding in diamond space. i would say that that the biggest contribution molly's military has arrested 49 people. it says our soldiers from the ivory coast have been operating in the country illegally executing them of being mercenaries. the members retained, after arriving in the capital by my co. tensions have risen between molly's transitional government and the un. last month molly said it would not authorize the un mission to investigate accusations of rights abuses. nicholas hock is following developments from the car. we've had this announcement made by commander my member of the military june to just yesterday saying that these ivory and soldiers are in fact mercenaries. there's an investigation taking place there being held in one of the camps inside the capitol,
7:30 pm
bama code. but this all started on sunday where 2 planes from this company called this a hell ation service, which is a company that supports some of the un contingent missions in, in molly landed to planes one containing 49. i for in soldiers the other full of guns and equipments of the soldiers. and when they were asked by custom officers, what they were doing here is some of the soldiers saying that they were plumbers, electricians. and now that's not a surprise because remember, these are soldiers from the ivory enforces of their hair here to support the logistics of the german contingency that's in bama co there. so to support the barracks, to maintain their quarters. so so surprised that there electricians are plumbers. but what's interesting here is the reaction from the molly and military agenda that straight away arrested them took them into custody. that shows you the level of nervousness that we have from the molly and.
