we begin this news hour in ukraine. keith says it's ready to dispatch the 1st shipments of grain from its black st. ports. president villani zalinski says he's waiting for the go ahead from the u. n. and turkey. about 25000000 tons of grain had been stocking ukraine's port since russia invaded in february. let's take a closer look at the 3 zones where the green shipments are expected to be released . thank clued the ports of p, danny, in the north, odessa and shauna mosque. they're all located in ukraine's odessa province on the black. same john hendrick is live for us in the port city of odessa. so john, everything's in place and they're just waiting for the go ahead
6:03 pm
that's right, emily. everyone's waiting for those 17 loaded ships to be able to travel through these new channels that are supposedly safe for those ships to travel across in that's through an agreement brokered by turkey in the united nations in which both russia and ukraine agreed that all of that grain would be allowed to leave on ships, and we have been told for days that this was pending. but today there was a news conference, the group of 7 each had ambassadors there. we had the president vladimir zalinski also appear and all of them were saying they hope these ships will leave today or tomorrow. but we have not heard word that any of them have. and you would see that because if you look behind me and we are just a few less than half a kilometer is over in the port of odessa, i would show it to you. but that violates the rules under which we are here. that
6:04 pm
you can see that there's nobody traveling in these shipping lanes behind us. so we'll, we'll, we will see when those ships leave so far. we haven't seen anything yet, but the present load, amir zalinski, will appear to the port earlier today on friday. and this is what he had to say. massive home to local, our site is fully prepared. we sent all the signal, sorry partners, the you and, and turkey, and our military guarantees the security situation. the minister of the infrastructure is in direct contact with turkey and the you and we're waiting for them to give the go ahead. and john, give us a rundown on the light, is fighting across the country. well, it's been all over the country, but mostly concentrated in the south and east. those are the areas the russians are occupying. and in the south about 2 hours from where i am in the town of her son, the ukranian army has been making an effort to retake that town that was taken was
6:05 pm
the 1st one taken during the war in the south by russian forces. so what the cranes have done is bombed a bridge and cut off the supply lines to the russian troops. there they say some troops are stranded there. meanwhile, the russians in those areas had been trying to rustle fi the area, forcing people to use roubles, giving them new identification. and then there have been attacks and other places, mich elia, there was a, a deadly attack in which 4 people were killed. 7 injured, the most controversial event of the day, and also the deadliest. was it a prison in the don bass region of the eastern ukraine? where 1st we got a release from the russian forces saying that a ukrainian strike hit that prison full of ukrainian prisoners of war. and according to them, killed dozens of people and wounded dozens more. we saw numbers like 40 killed, 75 wounded, but those numbers often change over time. and that was important because among
6:06 pm
those prisoners of war were the as of battalion. these are the soldiers who became synonymous with strength in ukraine after they held off russian forces for weeks at mary, a pool. so a deadly day. and that is why it's so crucial that they get the shipping lanes. right, because these ships are going to have to go through an active wars zone in order to carry that grain out. and the port of a desa has been attacked by russian forces. in fact, that happened just a day after that announcement was made last friday that the grain would be allowed to leave. so that's why everybody is a little careful about letting those ships out. it hasn't happened yet, but we expect it to happen either today or tomorrow. that is, according to ukrainian officials, john, really appreciate the update. thank you very much. john hinge and live for us in odessa, me mall, ukraine, and russia. blaming each other after an, an strike on a prison facility. killed dozens of people. it happened in the russian held town of

6:08 pm
pools will provide only cold water for hand washing and showers in the latest german city to introduce measures ahead of the winter. after russia dramatically reduced gas supplies, many cities including the capital berlin, have switched off the lights and government buildings and turned off fountains set fast and has more from berlin. more than 200 buildings public building here. and melinda will go darker for the next coming weeks at least unsafe energy. and not only that, it is also aim to show to people here in germany as a symbol of how to save energy. because not only the government is urged to save energy but the public as well. but this is one bit appeal, of course that the germans, i know, have to swallow because of their dependency on russian gas and oil for the energy supply. and this is also a result of a meeting house in brussels by d u,
6:09 pm
in which the decision was taken to voluntarily cut an a cheese by 15 percent over the coming month to basically anticipate last gas even coming from russia for the next winter. on wednesday, gas form has already also decreased gas supplies to germany again from north frame one, which is one of the major suppliers of gas to europe is around 30 percent of all the supply is coming from north stream one and it's now reduced to only one 5th of the normal supply. so there's a lot of worry, of course, at, for the coming winter, the storage facilities that the european countries, including germany, you won't be full to actually make everyone comfortable and warm. they are going to be last thing also in hon over the city, over where the public facilities won't have any warm water. but also housing companies have already announced that they will lower the temperature off the

heating in houses already to anticipate for this cold winter to come. tish rankin now and the world bank says he won't give the country financial assistance until it puts economic reforms in place. the country has been plunged into a deep financial crisis since 2019 shall anchor's new president, ronelle vic rema singer has promised to get the economy back on track after protest forced his predecessor to resign. michelle fernandez is in colombo with more. the groves might be smaller, that one we've seen in recent months, but no less vocal. the banner says ronelle must take responsibility for this crack down. and people hear from civil society representatives of the protest groups saying that the government has no right to launch this violent crack down on the protesters and pick them off one by one, arresting them for essentially voicing their opposition. people now see the proto
6:11 pm
site as a site of bender, that as previously, plus the production site that gave people to college, j. b berg production. people who came together late and i was, i was a site where everybody could talk freely. but now it is the flight of p r and the government is painting that. and it's quite clear that the government in no means want protest to build up again, as you can see behind me, a protest says have taken a seat. i live all sort of started this silent demonstration. they've said they're not going to be violent, but they're just making their voices heard over here. you can see the huge are band of are police of security, this army on the other side, this police, this special task force commanders, the protest as have been told to stick to the protest grounds on the other side. and it's quite clear, as i said, that this is to prevent any sort of big gatherings or crowds getting together
6:12 pm
and coming close to what this struggle was against. initially, the government of gotta be roger boxer. and now that of run a vicar missing her and called in the us, has decided that the civil law suits brought against the libyan warlord can leave for half, maybe heard out in federal court, up to who is a us citizen, is accused of war crimes. and extra judicial killings during libby as civil war party calhane is live, france in washington, d. c. hello there, petty. what does this long awaited decision? main break it down for us. all right, you're right. it has been a long awaited decision. this is a civil case brought by defendant here in virginia, leaf, a half star, just have american citizenship, so they want to hold him civilly liable for what they call war crime. now, he didn't really put under defense. he wasn't supposed to, but still
6:13 pm
a judge this morning so that he is in fact, liable civil liable for, as you mentioned, war crimes, torture extradition, killing. so what does that mean? it means the people that stewed can now go after his assets. he has, according to one investigation by the wall street journal, about $8000000.00 with their properties here in virginia. now, many of those are limited liability companies. many of those the transferred to a son, the lawyer speaking here said they believe they can get it. those assets and even more, they believe your tens of billions of dollars please all across the world. so now the forensic analysis begins, the next phase is to try and figure out how much money he has and how much money these defendants will be awarded. so some of the evidence brought before the judge was a hospital that was bombed by his forces, killing a doctor, a family that was killed by an explosion in their home family that was tortured in their home. now again, this is civil, this isn't criminal, but now it opens the door that these people can probably possibly get cash. i asked her to the defendant, she asked those who were suing him,
6:14 pm
what they think this could mean for libby in politics. they said they don't know, they are hoping that the libyan people will take another look at half star as is, it's a little opposition now that a u. s. judge has said that he is simply liable for work, right. petty, thank you very much for breaking down for us penny calhoun live in washington dc. the un security council is dead locked on who should lead its diplomatic efforts in libya. the current special advisors, stephanie williams, is scheduled to leave her post at the end of the month, shifting governmental law and says in libya have spent when you'd violence and diplomatic editor james base reports from un headquarters in york for the 5th time in a row for you ends mission in libya. anson mill has been extended by just 3 months to 3 african members of the security council. so angered that in protest, they abstained. during the vote, it's not the only blow to the u. n. in libya. stephanie williams,

6:16 pm
the un secretary general has identified the person he wanted to take over the un mission in libya, and that was sabri. booker doom, the former algerian foreign minister. but his appointment was blocked by one member of the security council. the united arab emirates anymore head on his knees our including violent protests calling for an end to military rule in guinea ranch capitol to a standstill. why switzer capers are worried about the health and safety of their young elephants and a little later and sport a bizarre home run as it all goes wrong. for this baseball outfielder, ah, me, admires military is accused of using fighter planes to fire and guided munitions in civilian areas. that's according to a report by a group of independent investigators me and my witness says that john j is using
6:17 pm
the jets to target armed groups. opposing last is comb. tony chang reports a point, a jet screams along the border in northern thailand at the end of june. it's happened several times this year and children know the drilled, hiding and shelters until the skies a clear. for the jet, sir, aiming the guns into myanmar ah, blue conflict on the border is decades old. the air war is new since last, he has qu, the gender is deployed, attack helicopters, and fighter jets against armed rebels, opposing its rule out through underground light. one day jack, come, ah, we get a hides. i don't really care about a is it is and civilian place. is that any place that they just bought everywhere they just shoot the rock at that and everywhere the gesture, the mash and galle everywhere. ah,
6:18 pm
the attacks have been relentless and as little the rebels can do, they are like machine guns and small arms and no match for the aerial bombardment. and there's one plane, they fear more than any other. every web app lay attack incur any they use that, that new blue collar. when. yeah one daniel, the yank, 130, the russian to see to jet was sometimes described as a trainer that has full attack capabilities. the initial fleet was ordered before the coo, but according to a report by independent investigators me and my witness. another delivery is arrived since the military took over housed in these newly constructed hangers, using social media and geo location, the report ledges these planes have been deployed and civilian areas are firing unguided, serbian rockets, the 80 mean m. your ammunition is usually hits,
6:19 pm
which means high explosive anti pang when it comes to the possibility of aiming this an ordinance precisely to target. it's not really accurate. naturally, these people were fleeing ariel and artillery attacks on the eastern town of lake a go and december. since then, more than a 1000000 people have been displaced from their homes across myanmar, their greatest fear attack from the skies tony cheng al jazeera and tom jarvis is from me and my witness. he says there's been a big increase in incidence in recent months. certainly 2022 has seen the most notable cases where we've seen the jets actually firing. this is fairly new fetish for us, so it's suddenly increasing with something we've gotten a lot more to investigate the last time. and it's a lot of meticulous work. you have to go through many different social media sites, look at news reports. look at telegram, for example, facebook, twitter,
6:20 pm
and you're pulling together everything which then the speed verified and collected in a way that makes the evidence for us to investigate further. one of the big things that we look at is trying to prove the location through g, a location. that's where we match on satellite imagery. we're also looking at what we can do to tell when this happened, unproved, defense to happen at that time. the several things that we can do to identify whether it's oh, do you mean nation? so my from looking at the shell casings from the canada on the ground, we might be able to tell from stamps or markings whether it's new or old. and we can track deliveries across borders as well through flights and ships to see what munitions are coming in. and whether from everything that we produce and report on as archives securely in a way that can be used either tomorrow or in the distant future as evidence to basically hold accountability for those who are at fault. a group of oceans scientists has warned him moraine hate wave in the western mediterranean,
6:21 pm
and may have severe long term effects. nonprofit organization, the caterpillar ocean international, says the sea surface temperature is up to 5 degrees celsius hotter than normal. they wave started in the loo, gary, and say, between corsica and equally in mang. by july it has engulfed the lyric islands, sardinia, and the temporary, insane. while the warm water may go assigned to say bad news from marine life. a recent study found the mediterranean recorded 5 years of mass will tell us the events between 20152019 scientists say changing water temperature is causing some spaces to relocate. transforming moraine and car systems. the more nice lead spring in fed and, and fernando berrera, who is a marine biologist and chairman of the logical station, anton don't in naples, he joins me now. thank you so much for being on the program. what is being stand to the damage this heat wave could cause their predictions of several space. he's been
6:22 pm
killed off in the coming weeks. how likely is that? well, these things up in the re, the, in the past and there were mass mortalities along especially the northern shore of the western mediterranean sea fence got to go on and so on, died off for hundreds of kilometers. these events seem even more a stream than the preceding ones that already announced that something was wrong in the way the mediterranean was warming up in the summer, which is a normal thing in the summer of the mediterranean acquired temperatures, that are similar to those of the tropics with 28 degrees, but now we reach 30 and sometimes 32 degrees, and this is too much in. and so the species does that not adapted to these
6:23 pm
temperatures die off. and so that is the phenomenon of mass mortalities. the water that becomes warm air is in the 1st layer, so the heat arrives from the sun, it penetrates in the water. and that is a layer of water that these out there. and the depth of these layer increases when the temperatures become too high. and so they cause negative conditions to the species that are not adapted to warm temperatures. and that leaves deeper than the usually warmed up waters. in the summer. these opens the door to tropical species, because these increase in temperatures are not only in the mediterranean, the year or so in the tropics. and the species that are adapted to high temperatures cannot withstand the temperatures that now are present in the tropics
6:24 pm
. and so they move into the mediterranean and then it will obviously got only limited amount of time. so i want to get as many questions in as i can. this is already putting extra pressure on an environment that struggling with either fishing and plastic pollution. how much more pressure can marine life take? well, with the marine scientists that are saying this is, she's a very long time. yesterday we reached the ogre shooting day, the day in which we used all the resources that that renew during a year. so we are living by contracting debts with nature, and these is increasingly greater this debt, the mediterranean being and media to rise,
6:25 pm
notion answers faster than the world ocean to these pressures. but these conditions are present all over the world. the i said the polls is melting. so this is happening all over the world. but in the mediterranean, faster than in the world, doesher. vehicle systems will change. they are changing. they will not die, of course, but they will be different from what we're used to. and this is not necessarily on our favor. is there any way to combat what's happening? can the impacts be reversed at all? of course, that ease we have to change our ways of production, which is the ecological conversion that the european union is planning. we have to exit the either of combustion. we still burn stuff and we
6:26 pm
produce c o 2, c o 2 is the responsible of the global warming. and these things that are happening in the mediterranean are the result of global warming. and it's our folks. so we have to learn to build an economy that is not based on combustion. and this is it, and this is not just happening in the mediterranean, is that it's happening all over the world, particularly in australia, with the great barrier rates. but i've had them great by the leaf in the ocean and the booth 5 years and in california, california is burning to so what is happening in the ocean is happening also on land. so the, the planet is suffering from our impacts. the cure is not to continue to produce the impact as simple as that we have,
6:27 pm
it's an opportunity. we have to change our ways of production. otherwise, there will be, besides ecological costs, there will be huge economic costs. so it's against the rude economy to continue with like that. well, we appreciate your passion and that's a very good point to end on. thank you very much for your time. said an anti barrow, a marine biologist and shannon at this illogical station. anton, don't in naples, thank you for your interest. a democratic republic of congo is auctioning off licenses for oil and gas exploration, environmental say, many of the $27.00 pen. it permits overlap, national parks that a home to endangered species. climate activists point out the exploration risks, the destruction of paint linds, which is material formed, find the decomposition of plant material. they hold vast quantities of c o 2,
6:28 pm
but government officials say the country desperately needs the money will be closer . that is, our country is full of oil and gas resources that have for many years not been exploited. but today the president of the republic has decided for the very 1st time to put these resources up for the benefit of the companies. people still ahead on al jazeera why general is heading to the u. k. is conservative parties conference will be trying to get the cheap safe and in sports formula one paddic reacts to the retirement to full time world champion sebastian vessel. ah, with that this is whether was unusual and that's largely gone away. now this massive kind of disappeared from places where it

6:30 pm
a huge amount of rain recently coming out to ruth. yep. you're running through to down south to down berries more to come on saturday. on indeed, sunday, drifting slowly westwards. ah, a propaganda media censorship and the rise of all of their italian rule. you wake up one day. this system has been turned from an electoral democracy into a competitive before turing machine. i looked at the left power in hungarian me in the experiences of those who live in every day. that is a pressure on us. but we have to be very careful of course, and we have to be brave enough to support how democracy dies. democracy may be on al jazeera, frank assessments. how much support is there at st protest that we've seen in hotel across the rest of the country? the street has been, has been very good at tapping into the coal confound to people across the country. informed opinions, we will say, morphine. what is happening is that climate change it making them work in depth

6:33 pm
a change of facade. i support the f n d c. i supported in everything that it's doing after taking power, the military promise to 3, a transition back to civilian rural. protest to say that's too long. and the west african regional block echo last agrees. it did accordingly. i was in connor cree with the president of the commission of ink, was to make the military john, to understand the decision of the summit of heads of state that the transition cannot exceed 24 months. oh, the national front for the defense of the constitution or ethan d. c. the coalition of political parties and civil society organizations founded in 2019. it led a wave of protest appears in contest plan to change the constitution and run for a 3rd term. now it's demonstrating against the military who confesses that
6:34 pm
developed around the cooling september of 2021 is no longer there. that civil society and operation parties are determined to have his c. and if the hotel doesn't open up a more inclusive, more consultative, more transparent position process, then we could be in real trouble in dominican, i agree. the military hunter has fan protests, but demonstrated on listening. barbara copa al jazeera. let's take a closer look. now, in the national frond for the defense of the constitution was founded in 2019 it opposed president con days planned to change the constitution, so he could bond for 3rd term. the movement to organized months of demonstration for full con day was eventually toppled. last september, things went quiet until may, when military late his band protests in public spaces. the f n. d c. started calling for demonstrations again, this time against the june to just been beyond sin is
6:35 pm
a senior research at the nordic africa institute. is, is the protests against military rule are a defining moment for politics in guinea. we've seen historically that public port protests have been quite effective in, in guinea. we've seen it in the run up to the military coup last year. we've seen it and as the repertoire said in challenging for condense, attempt to amend the constitution and we've seen it back for storage as well. on the other hand, this kind of public mobilization might also pressure the jones into taking more and more aggressive stance. we've seen now the ban of protests, if protest continue, the jones will probably argue that they are illegal and they may also return to the violent oppression of protests that we've seen in the past. so, so this is really sort of a defining moment in the transition period. i think internally in,
6:36 pm
in the what we're seeing is that the major political parties are joining their forces now to pressure the job. and that confrontation could be more aggressive. i don't mean that the protesters necessarily violent, but that the pressure is rising and that we could fear violent response from the job. and as i understand it, the joint guinea now are claiming that they need a 3 year cuz there's no transitional period because they need to basically rework the foundations again in political society. whereas the us and the political class in guinea are saying, we just need the agenda to lead us to the next elections. and the more long lasting reforms will follow those new elections. you as president joe biden, and chinese president change in pings for the 2 hours on thursday, and what's being described as a tens phone comb. she has warned by them not to play with fire with regards to
6:37 pm
taiwan us house bacon. nancy pelosi is reportedly planning a visit to the island, which badging were guns as part of its territory. the us president ranged allegations of genocide and forced labor of wigan muslims biden is not reported to have discussed for moving us tariffs on chinese goods. but he's accused by jing of unfair trade practices that hum american worth is china based jealous, patrick funk explains backings reaction to that co. well, the foreign ministry, more or less echoed what present she had to say to present by the non the topic of taiwan in their conversation. which was essentially that beijing was resolutely opposed to what it sees as an external interference. and those who played with fire would get burnt. one of the interesting questions that was posed to the pharmacy spokesperson, jerry jan today though, was whether or not china will continue to engage with us in these dialogues. if nancy pelosi is visit to taiwan does indeed go ahead to lunch in tea. china has
6:38 pm
repeatedly made it clear to the u. s. s. serious concern of speaker policies potential visit to taiwan g at our firm opposition to the visit. hey, listen if the u. s. i challenge is our reply. it will be confronted with counter measures or possible consequences that may arise from this will be borne by the us side. now he said that the truly the said the greeter stay in touch, but he didn't really elaborate on whether or not this might be impacted by that potential visit by the us. how speaker beijing has wound previously a possible cancer measures. if the visit does go ahead, we don't know whether it might be a diplomatic response or military response, but certainly would be seen as a significant set back if the 2 leaders were to stop talking to one another as they have been since president biden came to office b's at sessions where they've come together and discussed that differences if you like, have been key really to stopping this relationship from going off the rails. and as
6:39 pm
a matter of fact, reports of said, bits of the 2 leaders told their aids to organize an in person meeting the next time round, or they speak with one a low and robert kelly of pearson national university in south korea says taiwan is playing a bigger role now in the us china relations. i think one has really grown insignificant in the sign years, a relationship in the last few years. president jean pang of china is now looking to stay in power in the fall and the 3rd term. and he's really your campaign, which is fairly unprecedented in china. and he's campaigned on nationalism for this and reification with taiwan. i think there's sort of a sense out there that this is become sort of like the mission of his presidency that he needs to do this before he passed away. and on the other hand, on the american side, joseph biden has been less than big us about the american security commitment taiwan as president. in the past, your viewers will probably recall that the u. s. is making recall strategic
6:40 pm

6:51 pm
ah. it's time after sport, he's paid on emily. thank you so much for me. you as president donald trump has defended hosting a saudi back golf tournament at one of these courses amid a backlash from 911 families. the latest event in the controversial lives series starts on friday, the bed months, the course in new jersey, which is about 80 kilometers away from ground 0. some family members and survivors of the 2001 attacks urged trump not to host the event because they believe saudi arabia aided the terrorists. nobody's gotten to the bottom of $911.00. unfortunately, they should have as to the maniacs that did that horrible thing to our city, to our country, to the world. so nobody's really been there. i've known least people for a long time. saudi arabia. they've been friends of mine for a long time. they've invested in many american companies,
6:52 pm
and frankly what they're doing for golf is so great. let's go to the bed meant to course now and join our correspondent kristin salumi. kristen. tell us more about the process sort of taking place. they well people who lost family members on the september 11th attacks have been gathering. you can see the remnants of the group behind me to call attention to the saudi sponsorship of those tournament. they lined up alongside the road that leads to the golf course. here to show pictures of their family members call attention to saudi involvement in the tournament. they consider what's happening, a payoff, white washing of the saudi involvement in the attacks of $911.00, which happened less than 75 kilometers from this golf course to talk a little bit more about that. i'm joined by terry straw. she's the head of the
6:53 pm
group called 911 families united. she unfortunately lost her husband on that terrible day remind our viewers the connection that you see between the kingdom of saudi arabia and that terrible day. right. so we have recent u. s. intelligence documents that have been declassified, that now prove that the kingdom was behind the attacks. it was there, government agents that were here in the united states that gave the logistical and financial support set up the network that was needed for the hijackers to carry out the attack. so it was direct involvement by the kingdom of saudi arabia. and 15 of the hijackers, of course, were also saudi citizens. i know during president trump presidency, you met with him and discuss these concerns. yesterday he, when asked about the 911 connections, said he had sympathy for people like you and for the families. but that the people running the tournament were his friends, and this was a good opportunity for golf is what did, what did you make of that? yeah, his relationship with the saudis has always been
6:54 pm
a little too cozy for our comfort. and it caused us a lot of problems when he was in office, when we went to him and asked him to declassified documents. and he agreed to do that the very next day a g bar stamp state secrets across them. so someone in his administration that was very close to his mom had been psalm and the crown prince decided to block us from getting the information that we requested from president trump. so we're just appalled at his relationship with them. and i know you've been asking president biden to do more as well. he recently met with prince muhammad been some on what did you make of that in his response to the requests of the 911 family. right, so we wrote letters to president biden prior to the trip, asking him to please make $911.00 accountability a priority. when he met with the crown prince, he fits pumped him and from the reports that we've seen, it was not brought up. so we're very angry, we're upset with him as well. and we've been asking for a meeting to him, sit down with us and explain why he didn't bring up such an important issue. and
6:55 pm
he's the one that released the documents. so we have the evidence, so really it's his obligation as the sitting president to now deal with what he's released. and finally quickly. what do you hope to accomplish by being out here today? mostly to bring awareness that all of these documents do exist. and to also bring awareness to what live golf is really all about white washing the history that the kingdom has with the 911 community. and that, that history was so damaging and all the pain and suffering that it cause. and that these players are now just partaking in that and we're just, you know, just trying to bring attention to all of that very strata. thank you so much for being with us. so this is a controversial tournament within the golf world is wow, the big money being put forward for person by those saudi sovereign wealth fund has attracted a lot of golfers, big name, and not so big names alike. the person for this weekend's event is $25000000.00 for 1000000 will go to the winner. that's twice as much as they would typically make in
