this is al jazeera ah hello, i'm carry johnston. this is the news are alive from dough coming up in the next 60 minutes. russia put the squeeze on gas supplies to europe, or the e. u responds with an action plan to curb it's energy use. and of an error, russia announces it will stop sending its cause when the order to the international space station bringing the future of the project into question. unrest in the democratic republic of congo. 5 protesters and 3 peacekeepers have been killed in the eastern city of goma, leak global economic outlook. the i m f for warns of an imminent recession cause of the war and ukraine and the pandemic high on side of hydro, with sports basketball saw britney grinders drugs, trial resumes in russia, at event seen says to use cannabis from medical, has a says a she fights against

a potential 10 year prison sentence. ah. the member states have reached an agreement to ration gas after russia announced yet another cut to its supplies. the state energy giant, the gas promise says it will reduce gas flows to the north stream, one pipeline, to germany, to 20 percent of capacity. russia blames the issue on a 40 gas turbine, but e leaders say the move is politically motivated. well, many countries resisted last week's proposal over 15 percent cut. so the agreement just reached in brussels is a compromise with a voluntary cut of 15 percent from august to march. the deal includes opt out so that countries can cut less states that are heavily reliant on gas for electricity can avoid the reductions. and it's the same for countries exporting 90 percent of their gas capacity to other you states. and you official said hungry was the only

member state that opposed the gas reduction agreement. de la l shani wraps up developments from brussels. the energy crisis looming over europe dominated the meeting of the u. ministers in brussels, russian and gas ahead of winter, the best and only way to reduce the eas reliance on russian energy fortified b. a sam correspond stay 15 percent cut in our usual gas consumption between the beginning of august and the end of march. that's why we have pointed to this percentage as the target on member states should stay forward. russia is said to further reduce supplies through the gnawed stream pipelines, blaming a technical fault at one of the stations, something you ministers dispute of the short national game. as of today, there is no solution to the ongoing equipment issues at the party. i buy are

compressed the station near. there is no solution whatsoever yet seem as, as saying nothing. they're trying to find solutions, but there are none. come out as the west and russia exchange economy blows in response to russia's war in ukraine. european leaders say moscow is not a trustworthy partner. the width is coming ah, and 3 don't know how cold it will be. but what we know for sure that would be in the will continue to play his sir. does the game see her in the misusing and like, mailing cur, by. ha, ha gar. supplies. little you, grace president, one of the major lensky says, europe is already at war with russia just on a different front i, he and his bride. all this is done by russia on purpose to make it as difficult as possible for europeans to prepare for winter. and this is an open gas war that russia is waging against the united europe. this is precisely how it should be

perceived. and they don't care all happened to the people or how they will suffer from hunger g to the blockading of poor, or from winter cold and poverty, or from occupation. these are just different forms of terror yet. wellness does that. nearly half of all the gas europe needs it comes from russia. the supply is now down to our relative trickle. come winter, if european countries don't have enough supply stored up in time, it means certainly almost, it will be a struggle to heat homes and power cities. abdullah show me under sierra brussels will know a brenner is the executive editor for operations that energy intelligence. he says, europe is hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst, the nebraska center where we have a warm winter, 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 be,

comes out of the winter with still having some gas in storage and without significant disruption to, to things like heating or, or needs to switch to switch fuel 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, by activating plan 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. other was 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 was stabilized, right? that would take away this kind of the weapon is ation 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 stabilization, not necessarily drawing them down to historical warms that we would have seen a year ago. 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 highest as well. so yes, russia probably receiving less revenue overall, but from the gas side of things. but i would say that it still has ample revenues coming in from these other commodities. russia has launched more mythos strikes when ukraine's black sea region. the rockets hits the coast village of the taca presidents. but a man lensky says it's

a residential area with no military presence. the eastern city hall, keith was also targeted. sean hender and has more from keith. the russian defense ministry says it has destroyed the 8 immunization and missile the bows in the southern black fi port. city of nikolai, it says it also destroyed port infrastructure in that case. and that was just one in a series of early tuesday morning, strikes by russian forces in the eastern crane town of harkey. a gas pipeline was hit that will leave thousands of people out of power. that is with the mayor there says, and also in odessa, in the region of a desa, the small town of toko was struck. that is, according to the president of ukraine's a little mir lensky who posted video, said the only residential areas were struck there. and he says there were no military targets on the spot in those mythos strikes. a joint center to monitor ukrainian drain exports is set to open. and it's done by tomorrow. it's after

ukraine, russia, turkey, and united nations signed a great deal last week or 4. we'll have representatives at the center monitoring the operation. ukrainian government says it hopes to resume green exports this week for the 1st time since the war began in february offense, morehead, on the new zone, including to nicea set to where these preliminary results from a controversial constitutional referendum. campaigning in kenya's presidential election enters its final stretch with leading candidates, promising change and do a hair from the former best footballer in the world who's calling from your support ukraine's child refugees. ah, russia has announced it will cease its involvement with the international space station or to 2024 for nasa says it hasn't been informed about the move. if russia

does stop sending cosmo doors to the i assess, it would be the end of an era of space diplomacy into monahan reports. the future of this beacon of international cooperation may be in doubt when the war and ukraine prompted the west to sever nearly all ties with russia. the international space station was one of the few exceptions. 3 till one. now, after more than 20 years of partnership, russia says it's pulling out reminders, not overseas christensen. of course, we will fulfill all our obligations to our partners. but the decision to leave after 2024 has been taken. i think that by that time we will begin to fall a russian orbital station for bureau had left off to many. this move was a surprise or well, spinoza and the russian space agency had only just signed a new agreement to ferry astronaut to the station for me in may, the head of the european space agency said cutting type russia on the i assess was technically impossible. core,

both sides are responsible for different technologies on the station, and neither is train to operate the others without assistance, is going to cause problems. the, 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 stocks it from it. it's just about in us atmosphere. and over time it does slowly degrade as it gets closer and occasionally needs to get this little bit boosted off again. and the russian segment is responsible for doing that. first through the hatch is denise match since the war and ukraine broke out, even life in space hasn't gone untouched by the politics of earth. in april questions were asked about the russian crew choice of space suit was which matched the colors of the ukrainian flag. and they denied any hidden messages, but many saw it as a protest against russia's war. in july, the russian crew made a much clearer political statement when they posed for photos,

with the flags of hans and the next to russian back break way regions in eastern ukraine. it's unfortunate that the politics on the ground have now reached up into space before the i s. s. was the one common ground that we had where, you know, it was in everyone's interest that it work. and we never neither side use the i assess for these kinds of political posturing for events on the ground. the i assess was 1st established back in 1998. research on the station has led to breakthroughs and battling cancer. all timers and heart disease monitoring natural disasters from space has also helped relief efforts here on earth. but with russia and china now planning to complete their own space stations in the coming years, a period of space cooperation may be giving way to a new era of space competition. since marin al jazeera, the international monetary fund has released its report on the global economy. and it looks both gloomy and uncertain. war in ukraine high at global energy and food

prices, economic downturns in china, and russia. and just some of the factors that have put the brakes on the wells, recovery from the pandemic. the i m f. projects that global economic growth will slow to just 3.2 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 wells 7 leading economies, the i m f says a probability of a recession is now estimated to be nearly 15 percent. that's 4 times higher than usual, or releasing the report in washington d. c, the i m f. so the outlook is bad, but there are measures countries can take to mitigate the worst impacts. the outlook is darkened significantly since april. the world may soon be teetering on the edge of a global recession. only 2 years after the last one multilateral cooperation will be key in many areas from climate physician and pandemic preparedness to food

security, and that distress amid great challenge and strive, strengthening cooperation remains the best way to improve economic prospects for all and mitigate the risk of g economy fragmentation, she had returns, he has more on this now from washington, dc. the i'm of does project that worldwide inflation will reach pre pandemic levels by the end of 2024. so i mean that, that might be some cause for hope that the problem with this world economic outlook is, yeah, they, they come up with all those headline figures. notably 3.2 percent growth in 2022 for the global economy. but almost immediately afterwards in the next paragraph, they add the risks to, to that outlook, or overwhelmingly tilted to the downside. they immediately undermine that outlook and say that if the war and ukraine leads to a sudden stop of european gas in port russia. if inflation is hard to bring down, if there are further cobra lock downs,

if tightening monetary policy from central banks leads to enormous problems in emerging markets in particular balance of payments issues and so on, that actually the focus is even worse. in fact, they say it's a plausible alternative scenario in which the risk more risks materialize. and in fact, them 2022 grades goes out of 2.6 percent and 2023 grade goes up to 2 percent. so even grimma and actually the figures you mentioned because it's saying these are all headline figures. but in fact, if you talk about global corporation that gives you very little global corporation leasing from the, from the west and, and russia at the very least, that's just as this could be actually a lot worth 5 protests, as in 3 peacekeepers have been killed during protest or to you and base the democratic republic of congo. it happened on the 2nd day of rioting in the eastern city of goma demonstrates a se peacekeepers have not protected them from violence in the region. catherine sawyer reports another charged day in gama. in north keeble province,

dozens of congo least protest is a demanding the un peacekeeping mission called monasco leave the country. the military and police have been called in to help contain the situation. un personnel are being relocated. the trouble began on monday, after a logistics base was attacked, people through stones looted, office equipment, and other material. this is what was left of date was ransacked. either un bases have also been targeted, then loses the global is oh, live whipping what you, you in motion since this thought they had the logistical capacity they needed. what are they doing with that? this is why we need to kick them out. the relationship between some congolese and the un has been tense at best. the protest is said, the un has failed to protect them from frequent attacks. the un peacekeeping

mission in democratic republic of congo has heard a presence here for more than 20 years. despite this more than a 100 rebel groups in the east control, the vast region that is rich in minerals, monarchy came to protest against monasco, who, it has been years since the mission came to congo. many kimberly's have been killed in the east people in gama are fleeing again to safer areas until the situation gets better. many kimberly say they are tired. they want peace and beef that you when cannot provide stability. and it's forces need to leave catherine soil, alta 0, or can ins, head to the polls in 3 weeks to choose their next president. and one of the main contenders hasn't shown up for the debate. former prime minister rayleigh dinger has skipped the televised face off. but his main opponents deputy president with

him router is present. he's just taken to the stage is our life pictures of the both veteran politicians are promising change? well malcolm web has more from getting go. kenyans is struggling with rising food and fuel prices, but no expenses are being sped in election campaigns. deputy president william retail is one of 2 main contented political alliances shifted dramatically after he fell out with his boss, outgoing president who kenyatta. bruce says among the candidates talking about the cost of living, so they're not always explaining exactly how they'll address it. we will organize the economy and reduce the cost of living. his main opponent while dinner has run for president for times before. many believe he's been breakdown of some past election victory. so my, this time the historically dominant political establishment is backing him,

presenting. yeah. okay, good option is our number one, enemy canyon's money goes into individuals pocket going president who re kenyatta is among those backing. brian le activists say, can yet have government has been even more corrupt than those that came before it rail as promising change. retail held the 2nd most powerful of his in kenya for the last 9 years. so promising change many kenyon, the not convinced by promises to tackle corruption. it's a card that they play football next at the public and get voted by was the in power . we have seen what they do and they have power. and none of that convinced me that they have any, we'll divide by some previous elections. we contested largely along ethnic lines. this time the politicians are talking more about policy, especially compared to the campaigns in 2007. those polls followed by ethnically

targeted violence. more than a 1000 people were killed. you know how the main site or represented in the coalition. so because every vote counts ah, i, the parties do not have the luxury of demonizing any particular area. a pity impulse put router slightly behind rayleigh, but with enough votes is still undecided to swing it. a significant amount of money is expected to change hands in the final stages of the campaigns, canyon, the g to vote in 2 weeks time. will that psycho life to malcolm web, whose back in that nairobi now for more on this malcom some of big issues being discussed. yeah. and the cost of living, like we saw in the story is a major $1.00 when the price of fuel the pump. varian kenya is going to buy about 60 percent since the beginning of the year,

and the prices of some food staples have doubled over about the same period. tens of millions of people are affected families. they were living on 2 meals a day, have gone down to one meal a day, say something that the candidate to talking about william roots speaking on the stage in the debate then you right now. although, you know, actually debate thing with any content is because he's made opponent ryder didn't get, hasn't shown up the retail promising to reduce the cost to living within a 100 days of being in power right now. on the other hand, he's saying he'll give stipends to families. certainly messages that could resonate with hungry vote says that economists say these plans these promises are actually just increasing spending and that won't help kenya's growing problem. the money that kenya pays re, pays of is debt, says in the last 10 years become less than the amount the from export. the mass says there is a looming debt crisis if this isn't addressed,

and it's been exacerbated by corruption in the case of large amounts of money borrowed for infrastructure projects, which are corruption to the sale thing cost about twice as much as they should. lot of that money get stolen, both of these 2 main contenders in this election, right? everything and william root of both held senior roles in previous governments have themselves in mind incorruption scandals. now, both of them are promising to tackle corruption, whether it be that being very familiar places are familiar faces. if i've been in the political scene for many before those promises tackling corruption on necessarily resonating, we've had very votes. okay, malcolm web life for us in our be thank you for that. a murder charges against the former prime minister of the sofa and his wife had been dropped. the case forced thomas the bonnet to resign as leader 2 years ago from either mila has been

following developments from johannesburg. la suits, his former prime minister tom to bonnie and his wife. marcia were accused of arranging the murder of his estranged wife to paulina to bonnie his estranged wife was gone down outside a home in marcell route 2 days before to barney's inauguration as prime minister that was back in 2017. it was alleged, the former prime minister and his current wife, paid assassins thousands of dollars to kill his former wife, to bonnie and his wife missy. i've always denied the charges and claim they were politically motivated. now those charges have been dropped. the prosecution says because they can't locate a key witness. the case has been a highly device of one in the small mountain kingdom where some argued the former prime minister should not have been charged to begin with due to his advanced age. while others had demanded justice. however, he was forced to resign in 2020 due to the charges. and the political scandal that

ensued to nick is about to hear results from the constitution referendum that took place on monday or primary result. so set to be released in the coming hours, but hundreds of people have already been celebrating in tunis. the electoral board has cooled, an overwhelming yes vote for new constitution. you presidential model weakens to museum. parliament gives the president a power over the government and judiciary. that's crossed now to and is yet boatman who's in the tunis for us. so what's the reaction been to all of this, from the opposition and indeed for people in the streets. mother actions quite mixed. and they've, throughout the whole of the past year, the, the opposition has been split. but what we're hearing from probably what the largest opposition groups, the yet the south national salvation are front is that they're looking chase or carry on campaigning. they don't see this results is being legitimate at all

because the actual turner was only 28 percent of those registered to vote. so it's, although they yes vote may well turn out to be the majority of that vest is still a minority art. oh, so a lot of people are sort of take a bit of time to sort of reflect that. some people are saying this is the end end of democracy. is some people say, well democracies. yeah, the democracy ship sailed last year, but other people archie moore's and offensive and hopeful say, well okay, democracy does not just a run in a linear fashion. other sort of great democracies have had civil wars and others, no major obstacles and bumps in the road. so they, some people actually feeling quite positive that they're looking at the overall picture, the kind of science popularity has been going down. yeah, he's it over the past year he has taken legislative, judiciary and executive passengers hands and yet only 28 people and only 2028 percent of those registered out. she 10, that's a very so in

a way is that she shown how weak he is rather than how strong he is. on the other hand, there are those who loved my side, and they were absolutely overjoyed and jubilant, just at the exit poll. and they were acting as if that was the final results. when in fact it was just a poll. so there's, there's a lot, a long way to go in terms of not just the results, but how things unfolds. ok, we barely hear pokemon in its eunice. thanks for that update. well is rarely a forces have raided the palestinian village of car wet on a her son and the occupied west bank. they demolished the homes of 2 palestinians, had been charged with killing a god in april at the illegal is ready settlement of arielle. he to abraham has more 9 year old as a deed middle. 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 matter he found me, 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, mary and his cousin usa policy in late april. both men are in the early twenties and he is really military accuses them of killing a gourd of an illegal is re sacrament in the occupied. westbank wasn't 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. though, i wanted to take my books, clothes and toys by they didn't let me. israel has long implemented the policy of demolishing houses belonging to palestinian suspects. accused of killing his radio, muffled lightly. my son is a hero. it wasn't easy for him to see what the occupation done in june in grammar dawned. the events in the lock so particularly affected him, blocks young in the thought of tito milan. earlier on tuesday is really forces

demolished the house of use of all see as well homeless. now the asi family are staying with relatives that i got on, on iraqi minutes already. these really decision is that we can't we bill here for 5 to 15 years intelligence and this line is confiscating. i'm so i have a plot here for juice it will build on for now. we're scattered in relatives comb says all the homelessness in these really government says house demolitions. i meant to prevent future attacks. but all rights organizations say says palestinian attackers are often killed or in prison. it's their family who end up being punished. me that but i mean, al jazeera, the occupied left bank still ahead on al jazeera, under control fire crews say the largest, while fi this year is no longer threatening. yosemite national park schools reopen in sri lanka for lack of fuel means the students are still struggling to get to

a similar pictures we go on into thursday. so the gulf seeing some wet weather. st flooding recently into southern western parts of iran, more showers running in here as well. so things looking a little more active than of late for the north. hot drive, pretty much sums it up as is the case across much of north africa, particularly to northern areas of algeria, northern parts of america. again, temperature is very much on the high side. was a central belts, the usual heavy showers, making the way a further westwards over towards that western side of africa, some heavy down poles coming through here with a chance of some flooding. not chimney shouting to shut some parts of africa, but wanted to show us to the se. a sanctuary for journalists. it was a haven from the war and shelter for civilians. refugees were scattered into the garden during cambodia as bloody soon. stuff. flooring us up to me and suddenly

on in mosques, us based space x u. k based one web is merging with it's european rival util sat and their fleet of satellites in orbit. the aim is to create what they call a global champion in the broadband internet market. and that means competition to mosques. starling, and amazon's project clipper or satellite based broadband services promise affordable wireless high speed internet from space to almost anyone on earth, even in remote rural areas. well, amy thompson is a contributor to space dot com. she joins us by skype from orlando florida. thanks for being with us here on the program. so how much does this reveal just how competitive the space market is becoming incredibly, there are many options when it comes to these types of constellations. and currently space acts on one web are the only 2 that have satellites in orbit. so

i mean this is a when in dina city games, a game changer indeed. so i mean, forgive the palm, but is there enough space in the market for everyone? i think that's a little bit to be seen. i know that right now they're this will help them get on their way and make them competitive. there is definitely space for everyone when it comes to rockets and launching. so i'm sure there's space for, for satellites. and you know, we're the ones that are going to benefit from it. well, absolutely. is this good for consumers or not? and if so, in what way? yes, so it is actually good for consumers. i'm, when you have satellites like starling and one web. they provide connectivity affordable connectivity to places that can't get it from traditional satellites. so there's rural areas. space x, for example,

was able to help them 1st responders in washington state who did not have connectivity. when there was a bunch of wild fires. there is a remote and indian tribe in canada that uses starling and that well having access to these. busy satellites, whether it's one web, whether it's amazon, whether it's starling, will be able to do things like provide tele medicine and provide educational opportunities to communities. i have, you know, that starkly been cut off from the rest of the world. could this than lead to too much control being in the hands of to few yes, because these are not, i mean f a and fcc does regulate them, but they are up to the individual companies to control them. so that could be a possibility, presumably billions of dollars are at stake and when it comes to providing internet services, for example. yes. and it is something you know,

that is being really looked at and contested by the terrestrial options that have historically provided services. you know, because space acts and one web are sort of encroaching on their territory. but you know, the hope is that it will provide more access to more people and just be affordable because there's a lot of people around the world that just don't have access. and this could really am improved their lives drastically or can really be there any thompson. thank you very much indeed for that. thank you. protest have been held outside the meanwhile embassy and the tie capital bangkok, condemning the execution of full pro democracy act to this forward accused of helping us to put in resistance movement that is for the military since last year's qu executions have widespread condemnation from neighboring countries. u. s. and

he said the executions were not because the military had any particular case against the men involved. they'd been given every opportunity to prove their innocence in a court of law. many people would dispute that given that these were charles that took place on the military rule by a military court. and in secret you would have ja janice. we knew that there may be criticism and objections when the death penalties were handed down and conducted in accordance with domestic law. for however, we did it for reasons of domestic stability for the rule of law and order and for security we georgia, it was not personal. like the opposition groups have said it was done legally. there has been reaction on the streets of miramar with flash mobs expressing their anger and calling for revenge. and the concern here is the opponents of the coo and the military. both seem deeply entrenched in the further along this conflict goes more bloody good. schools have reopened in sri lanka after the government said it
