4:01 pm
this is al jazeera ah other given al, this is the news are live from doha, coming up the next 60 minutes. you missed is agree on an energy deal as russia limits gas supplies heading to europe. ah, israeli forces demolish the homes of to palestinians will have the latest from the occupied west bank ah, protest outside me. mas embassy in bangkok is criticism of the dentist execution of for pro democracy activists grows. and schools reopen in sri lanka, but a lack of fuel mean students are still struggling to get to class. i'm devin, ashwin, sports basketball, sa, britney grinders, a drug trial resumes, russia,
4:02 pm
offensive, mclean cheese kind of business. and that is no purposes actually fights against the potential tenure prison. ah. european union nations have agreed to ration gas as russia announced another call to supply russia state to energy. john gas problem said it would further flash supplies, 3 beat north stream, one pipeline, to germany, down to just 20 percent of capacity. russia blamed the issue on a faulty gas turbine, but you need to say the latest to whole is politically motivated. then petrovitch has this report. the energy crisis looming over europe dominated the meeting of u ministers in brussels. rationing gas ahead of winter, the best and only way to reduce the use reliance on russian energy. 45 b. sam corresponds stay 15 percent cut in our usual gas consumption between the beginning
4:03 pm
of august and the end of march. that's why we have pointed to this percentage as the target or member states should strive forward. russia set to further reduce supplies through the north stream pipelines, blaming a technical fault at one of their stations, something you ministers dispute. you leaders say there is no technical reason for the latest reduction, something gas problem, disputes assured national g as love today. there is no solution to the ongoing equipment issue at the port. you have a, are compressed the station we have, there is no solution whatsoever yet theme as a saying nothing. they're trying to find solutions. but there are non the change economic flows in response to russia's war and ukraine. european leaders say moscow is not a trustworthy partner. the wind is coming, and we don't know how cold it will be. but what we know for sure that we'll
4:04 pm
continue to play his games in misusing and like mailing by god supplies, actually ukraine's presidential. amir zalinski says, europe is already at war with russia and just on a different fright. i can, but i have all this is done by russia on purpose to make it as difficult as possible for your opinions to prepare for winter. and this is an open guess war that russia is waging against the united europe. this is precisely how it should be perceived. and they don't cable happen to the people or how they will suffer from hunger due to the blockading of ports, or from winter cold and poverty, or from occupation. these are just different forms of terror. yet, nearly half of all the gas europe needs comes from russia. the supplies now down to a relative trickle come winter. if europe ian countries don't have enough supply stored up in time rations will almost certainly mean
4:05 pm
a struggle to heat homes and power cities. then basra v o to 0. well, last week the european commission proposed a 15 percent reduction in gas use for all member states and suggested it might have to make those cuts obligatory. many countries resisted that, so the agreement just reached in brussels is a compromise with a voluntary cost of 15 percent from august to march. and the agreement comes with a long list of opt out so that countries can come less island states such as malta, 5 percent, ireland that are not directly connected to the european grid are exempt and states that are heavily reliant on gas. the electricity can also avoid the reductions, and it's the same for countries that are exporting 90 percent of their gas capacity to other states. and you, official said hungry was the only member state that oppose the gas reduction agreement. well, no. a brenda is the executive editor operations at energy intelligence. he's joining us live from brussels when he's been attending those talk. thank you very
4:06 pm
much for joining us on the news. all i just want to start with your take on this agreement with all the caveats. will that make a big enough difference? sure. i mean, i think that's the question that really everyone is asking is there are these, you know, 6 kind of classes of exemptions. if everyone were to take that, that opt out, wouldn't really result in meaningful reductions. and now, you know, you officials say, well, not everybody's going to take them and others will do more. you know, i think we could see meaningful reduction certainly. but you know, in an extraordinary winter, should these exemptions be put in be taken advantage of? what would the actual reductions really be? all right, let's talk best case, worst case scenario. what will this rationing mean that this disagreement mean for europe heading into winter in the best case scenario that very few take these all out. and in the worst case scenario that everyone does and that it's a very, very cold winter. well, i mean the was planning really for both options and a best case scenario where we have a warm winter,
4:07 pm
a short winter. this plan is really never put into full effect. and that would be, you know, there's not an emergency declared where these cuts become more mandatory under that scenario. you know, certainly the you comes out of the winter with still having some gas in storage and without significant disruptions to, to things like heating were or needs to switch to switch fuels from gas to, to fuel oil. things like that. now under worst case scenario, where we do have a colder winter where it does last for longer, certainly disruptions are, are greater. but you know, they're preparing for this by activating plans to, like i said, switch from gas to fuel oil. they're making sure coal plants are available, potentially extending the life of nuclear plants. so those plans are in place, but it certainly looks like a much more draconian cut through the winter than, than we might see. otherwise, we had a ukraine's president landscape saying, you know, this is russia forcing people into poverty in europe because the cost of energy is
4:08 pm
going to be higher with this agreement with the e. u. is that still going to be the case regardless of it's still going to be more expensive just to say people to hate their home. so i mean, addressing costs was one of the major, talking points for the diplomats that were negotiating this agreement, whether you were impacted by russian gas flows or not. the idea was by cutting down on our usage. we would then have more gas and it would stabilize the price. it would take away this kind of the weapon ization of gas that russia has been, has been forcing on the you. but the issue is, is that, you know, beyond that, i think that, you know, we'll see that prices are incredibly high and they're simply going to be incredibly high, one way or the other. what we're looking for at best is stabilization, not necessarily drawing them down to historical norms that we would have seen a year ago. okay. so with the higher prices,
4:09 pm
is russia going to lose out at all with it reducing its, ah, supply to europe. i mean, russia is certainly selling lower volumes of natural gas, but at that higher price, i mean, we are seeing, i would say reductions in the overall amount of revenue that russia is able to realize. but we also have to think the gas is just one of the energy commodities that russia sells to the world. i mean, in the grand scheme of things, oil and oil prices are at incredible highs as well as refined fuels, and those prices are incredible high as well. so yes, russia probably receiving less revenue overall, but from the gas side of things. but i would say that it's still has ample revenues coming in from these other commodities. all right, hey, thank you very much for your time. know, brenadere, the executive editor operations that energy intelligence ukraine. foreign minister also attended that a, you gas meeting in brussels. let's take a listen of what he had to say. we have experience with russian. numerous time
4:10 pm
ukraine was cut off supply of gas in the middle of winter. and this several time experience we managed, managed to survive. and what is important, of course, i want to share the experience of ukraine, which we had before. i get more now on the ukrainian perspective on hendrick, joins the law from q. john, so tell us a little bit more about the ukranian response to russia, saying that it is going to cut gas supplies to europe. ukrainian president below mirrors. lindsay has been the most vocal ukrainian official about this. he's called it blackmail and open gas war on europe and even an act of terror. he says that russia 1st terrorized ukraine in the world by holding grain hostage at ukrainian ports because it is so dangerous that they weren't able to get that grain out. now there's an agreement on that,
4:11 pm
but he says now russia has moved on and begun to terrorize the world by making europe fear for the winter, an uncertain how much gas are going to have to heat their homes and kitchens in the coming winter. and he says, this just proves the need to cut trade further with russia and to further increase sanctions in order to retaliate against them for doing this. and he is on apologetically said the only answer to this is just right back. john, of course, while the diplomat talk, the wall raises on and of the more attacks. now, in nikolai, if, what's the latest on that front? that's right. and the russian defense ministry says those attacks make alive have been very successful. they say they struck 8 a munition and missile dep bose there and they struck port infrastructure as well. and in addition to that, they struck the nearby town or the nearby area of odessa not the port itself, but
4:12 pm
a little farther away. resort town called the taca and zelinski says in that case, what they struck was a village of civilian people and civilian structures. he says there were no military targets there and on the eastern front in hark, if we are told by the mayor there that the strikes there also hit residential communities. they struck a gas line and that will leave thousands of people out of power. so multiple strikes, the russian say they hit strategic targets, and the ukranian say a lot of those targets were actually civilian john hanjin with the latest from the ukranian capital key. thank you. find my head on the new zone, including protests, is, are killed on a 2nd day of rising at a un mission in democratic republic of congo. celebrations for newton. is he in constitution that gives more power to the president?
4:13 pm
the opponent say is another step toward one man rule. and we'll hear from the former best for all around the world who's calling for more support for ukraine's child refugees. ah, the newly appointed chief of moscow space agency says russia will quit the international space station after 2024. uri bar assault said its focus will shift to building its own station. master though, says it hasn't been informed about the move. if russia does quit, the i assess that would be the end of an error for space diplomacy. the us and russia have worked side by side on the station since it went into orbit in 1998. elizabeth pierson is a space journalist who joins us alive from bristol. thank you very much for your time, miss pearson. as i said, you know, nasser is saying it actually hasn't had confirmation are from russia yet that it is
4:14 pm
going to withdraw from the space station in 2024. but assuming, in fact, that is the case, i mean, this decision or, or discussion around withdrawing from the i assess russia was drawing from the, i says that's, that's been a while coming, has net. yes. so russia has been signed up to contribute to the i assess until the end of 2024. that's been in place for several years. the initial hope was but. ringback would continue for another 6 years because in 2013 nasa is planning on will be commissioning the international space station. so that means bringing it back out of it and making it safe so that it is not going to crash the uncontrollably. and now russia, because they have said officially, no, we're not going to renew that contract. we're not going to extend that. there are now a lot of questions about what going to happen. i said the 60 is following currently if i'm wrong, but even with the war and ukraine, haven't astronauts from,
4:15 pm
from nasa and from russia been working together fairly well. i mean, i was seeing that nasa recently said it was giving russian national seats on american built spacecraft. yes, it was not. the entire purpose of the international space station was about a big show of international cooperation. and there's a lot of people within the nasa, within 12 months, you still want to continue cooperation. but sometimes external forces do plan to make might happen. but it has been, you know, they've been working very well together. the international space station does not work without both nasa and russia taking part as well as several other significant contributors, such as a canadian based agency in europe as well. now, i think we humans on it. it's kind of like the idea that astronauts could put, you know, world problems and leave them on the earth. but as you say,
4:16 pm
this is going to cause problems for the eyes is what kind of problems is it going to face? and also, how much is it going to cost russia to build it own international space station because china is also building its own so it is going to, it's going to cause problems. see, the russian sort of side of things is in charge of several key systems on both international playstation. probably one of the most key ones is it's propulsion system. so that's the thing that stops from it. it's just about in the atmosphere and over time it does slowly degrade as it gets closer in the case, you need to get it a little bit boosted up again. and the russian segment is responsible for doing that. it's possible the other people might be able to, to take control and take charge of that situation and space x of or, and he said that they reckon they could do it, whether or not they can remains to be thing. so if there are some issues that will
4:17 pm
become if there is, the russian expertise is no longer back. but people hopefully have some work against it in terms of building that own space station. if it's not a small order based fish and all, you know, 10, it's not hundreds of billions of dollars to, to build. and that's why really we've only seen the international space station. and now t and gone, which is the, the chinese one had the same time as it's funding a war. i mean that, that said it's a pretty big cost. i will leave it in time. thank you very much for that. it is this past and there space journalist from brussel bristol, rather the essential monetary fund has released its report on the global economy. and it looks pretty gloomy and uncertain. warren ukraine hired global energy and food prices and economic downturns and china and russia. a, some of the factors sort of put the brakes on the world's recovery from the pandemic. the i m f. projects that global economic growth will flow to just 3.2
4:18 pm
percent this year. higher food and energy prices and supply chain bottlenecks are expected to push inflation up to 8.3 percent higher than previously projected in the world's 7 leading economies. the i m f says the probability of a recession is now estimated to be nearly 15 percent. doesn't seem like a lot, but that is 4 times higher than usual. shebra tansy joins us. are now live from washington d. c. she had tell us more about the outlook. i think you summarize it pretty pretty well them. i think what so frightening and so you went through those headline figures of a downgrade to 3.2 percent in 2022 from from 3.6 percent is what they said in april. having said that, though, then there's another power gone, which basically says, but how, given how unsettle everything is. so some of the reasons you've already been discussing and just show the war and ukraine, the potential for a complete freeze of gas supplies. to your more cobit blocked downs, the effect of tightening monetary policy from the federal reserve and the central
4:19 pm
banks on, on growth and just just reaching hardship and poverty around the world. it been as another paragraph which says, in fact, a plausible alternative scenario is even worse. so that headline figure that you mentioned of 3.2 percent growth in 20. 22 then becomes 2.6 percent in 2022 and then 2 percent in 2023. the current, the current focus is 2.9 percent in in 2023. so i don't wanna do too many more numbers, but you know, but the point is that even though that how these headline figures they then have a paragraph which could be undermines the forecast. but actually who, who knows? because i still watch uncertainty right now. i guess real world as well, everybody's feeling it all day. the cost of living the on this to uncertainty what other economic indicators should we be looking out for this week? revenue from the u. s. in point of view, we have a bunch. so tuesday we have the latest consumer confidence numbers. those have been
4:20 pm
declining for the last 2 months, wednesday, federal reserve meeting and they'll be ending. that's the 2 day meeting where we expect them to once again raise interest rates. by the way, it's that kind of monetary tightening from central banks, which the i m f was even though the i'm a seems to be in favor of it. a lot of people don't want to probably will put the weather to global recession because the federal reserve is a towards the poor trying to deal with inflation by tinkering with interest rate especially. well, the reason why we have inflation isn't everything to do with that. fairly wage growth in the, in the, in the minds of many people. in fact, you're looking at inflation, wage growth isn't going up, but it's because of supply chain shocks and because of the war and ukraine because of corporate lockdown, why is the fed still tinkering with the interest rates, which will make people's lives even more miserable? that's an ongoing ongoing debate anyway, so that's wednesday we're expecting now it looks like a point, 75 percent increase in the interest rates on wednesday. maybe not before the word, it might be like
4:21 pm
a one percent increase. thursday g d p. if it goes not something that's going to be politically interesting because the next dictation off the u. s. as g d p being anywhere between plus point 5 percent to minus 1.6 percent. it was minus 1.6 percent and the 1st quarter if there's a 2nd consecutive quarter of contraction, then in a lot of people's minds, that means a recession. however, that's actually sort of always even about something. it's going to a rule of thumb we've used. it's actually a rather informal, it actually is up to a particular bureau at the national bureau of economic research to declare us in research that can take that can take months and the bite and white has already saying that. how can this possibly be reception if we're adding $400000.00 jobs, dropped jobs a month? so that's going to be a big debate later on later on in the week, potentially. and then friday we have the consumer price index again here in the us, which we'll talk about inflation. alright, thank you very much for that shepherd tansy in washington. dc. israeli forces have rated the palestinian village of cato at bonnie hassan in the us. on the west bank,
4:22 pm
they demolished the homes of 2 palestinians, had been charged with killing a god in april that the illegal israeli settlement of i'll need abraham repulse, knowing you'd old as a dean emitter. he has been asking about his bicycle since the early hours of the morning. with the help of a friend, he managed to find what's left of it. the emitter, he found that he says, the only thing that we're left with now is the memories of 25 years after is really forces blew up their house early on tuesday. these really military as of yet i and his cousin use of all see in late april both men are in the early twenty's and he is really made it 3 accuses them of killing a guard of an illegal is where you sacrament. in the occupied west bank after that arrest, the family was expecting the house to be demolished, and so they took out some of their belongings. what they couldn't prepare for is to see their house and ruins. oh, i went to take my books,

4:25 pm
i'm not going to vote because we voted a lot of times without the results we were expecting. it's the results which forced us to not vote and not give any importance to it because the reality will remain unchanged. and i do not imagine there will be a change in the future. i mean, tunisia was hit hard by covet, 19th and amec that triggered nationwide protest in july last year. paven way for present case site greater hold on palmer. he suspended the democratically elected parliament, dan in march, he dissolved it completely schuler. this referendum is also being seen as a ward of confidence, foresight, while the opposition ers people to boycotted site post for them to take part. that is despite electro standards requiring him to remain neutral, santa berman b. so i the that we will build together with our arms ideas and determination. we will build god willing and you were public. and so we will build a new republic based on real freedom and real justice and national dignity. because
4:26 pm
there is no dignity for nations except with the dignity of its citizens, with the 5th of the workforce, unemployed, and poverty level sorting to new highs. tunisia the comp da's spark, the added spring uprisings across the region is once again at the cross wrought in 2019 during the presidential election, the turner was or 56 percent. and now this by only around 28 percent of waters going to the ballot box, it will still be enough to ensure k sides plan to consolidate his power over parliament. the government and judiciary. and the fear here now is that this may pave the way back to authoritarianism. russell said that, o g, sierra tunis, let's cross live now to it. easy of oakland who's in tunis. salisia augusta reaction then from the opposition. and i also just from people that you've spoken to out in st. well, is it's been a mixed reaction. always say this boat is a cosign at cal. i saw it were jubilant. they were out in the streets last night
4:27 pm
celebrating. but it was actually a small amount people about so to $300.00 people mice. and today we're seeing a series of press conference. is it giving official reactions from different political parties and also different groups such as the national salvation front. who say that basically the low turnout is you do effectively, di, legitimizes. they are assess that the majority of people, you know, didn't vote oh is some were actively boy cutting some like that. people in the package a just lost faith with the voting electrical process. and it was also a public holiday, so people wouldn't really that all good about it there before people saying as a non event, what's gonna happen now? they say is that gonna carry on campaigning? i this, this referendum isn't ova, you know, they bytes is still being counted as the actual authority says that the earliest that we'll have official results is yvonne 6 or 7 pm tonight. it could even be as
4:28 pm
late as midnight. but last night we saw high side behaving as if you'd already one and then narrative that this is a victory is, is a contentious one because it's um, if he does when he would be a majority of a minority boat. right in the city of oakland. therefore, in tuna, thank you so way. what? ok, protests have been held outside. manners, embassy in the ty, capital bank hawk, and condemning the execution of fall pro democracy activists. all 4 were accused of helping a civilian resistance movement that is for the military constant, sir. for the military since austria's coup, the executions have brought widespread condemnation from neighboring nations. the u . s. the and the united nations pony chang has more from bangkok. protests is her being out on the streets here in bangkok on tuesday, outside. mamma's embassy expressing the shock and horror,

4:30 pm
given that these were charles that took place on the military rule by a military court and in secret you would if you can get me on anything. we knew that there may be criticism and objections when the death penalties were handed down and conducted in accordance with domestic law. however, we did it for reasons of domestic stability for the rule of law and order and for security guardian, it was not personal, like the opposition groups of said, it was done legally. but there has been reaction on the streets of ma'am, i with flash mobs expressing their anger and calling revenge. and the concern here is the opponents of the coo and the military. both seemed deeply entrenched in the further along this conflict goes, the more bloody will get on santa for the weather. his allison hello, we've got some summer storms in the forecast for parts of the middle east. over the next couple of days, you can see the pocket of cloud here that's making its way towards omar. and we have seen some really nasty rain just around the southern end of the red sea.
