a connects it member and joins us from. i haven't got that good to have you with us . is israel, respect thing, it's obligations under international law as an occupying power? absolutely not. israel is guilty in war crimes and this is not for the 1st time israel has been pursuing not only a malicious it occupying the gym, but also in apartheid regime at netflix, ethnic cleansing in the $67.00 or a palestinian occupied territory. dirt on his in there, especially in gazesberg, which is there until siege for more than 15 years. now. this is the malicious and criminal activity of continuous one by the israeli government. and of course the blank should be put on these early government. what sort of process is there if unoccupied, people are subjected to, as you'd, as you put it there, war crimes apartheid which has been the accusation actually of several

international human rights groups. but that doesn't seem to be much for address still could say in order to explain why the dela sheila community a approximately doesn't do anything in order to prevent those crimes. and to put an end to this occupation. and we need more than a few minutes. there are so many reasons for that cynical ones, primarily. but one thing that should be a say. and just a recently, eh, francesca been, you'd say, from the united nations in a good while for the human rights situation of the, by the seniors in they'll give, i thought it always said that they owe to the following and allow me to quote, because i think that explains and describes exactly the rights and the limits on in the palestinian resistance location and she lot of the follows. but his thing is like 2 is this is in evidence to deny to exist of the people in our lo will act of

resistance. the not to make, there has been stance on low food and of quote, that means that they have dos their words completely. first for the palestinian people is the right to resist those kinds to the continues occupation. that doesn't mean that each and every day vicki of resistance is legitimate for me and for my friends, if the joint based and mean there's a dash movement. we've always there opposed, for instance, it target innocent civilians at that. does them, they legitimize the resistance and such the palestinians. is there a have a legitimacy in delight, according to the international law, to resist to the occupation and the guy is that the israeli government ever been, as i said before, po, so he for so many years. so how do we have been offer? how, how does that fit with the is reading narrative? i'm sure i'm sure you're aware of it. they said look,

we had to intervene. we had to intervene in, in places like janine or in garza because there are on groups there and we knew they were planning on going to carry out on the tax the only the only way to prevent those attacks is by a fear being the occupation and the establishment of it cause it totally independent soccer palestinian state in the all occupied jericho is from 9067. so what israel does is as follows on the one hand, it not only continues this malicious and met and they a deadly occupation. it a makes it even walks you can see that in the last few months it out of the last stay a government which was supposed to be a change government, the situation of the palestinians in the occupied territories. and, and by the way, within the state of israel as well, if only been a deteriorating, so

a on the one hand is well, it kills the stories that malicious say. how says it allows day. a cook cook's claim, like it's settlers to burn fields and cut trees of palestinians to kill in the beach palestinians with no to lie with no charges. and on the other end is there is for quite is dwight the palestinians resist. so the only way to stop the bloodshed, to stop the killings, to stop the suffering primarily of the palestinians, but also of his ladies. the only ways by ending de occupation and establishing an independent palestinian states he in the gaza strip the west bank as it all. n is jose elements. capitol. that is the only way i can say for that. yeah, let me jump in and ask, do you think that sort of clarity of vision of what is right and wrong in

international law is kind of lost when you compare the international community's position on supporting ukraine in its fight against occupation. why do you feel that sort of clarity of there isn't occupied and occupy we will. we will help those who are trying to end an occupation that doesn't apply to the palestinian occupation. right. quite the country. some countries even support them and weaponized the occupier. yeah, absolutely. you're totally right. as a matter of fact, we can see, and i lamented the poker c, or for the international community, primarily of united states. which not only by you were suppose these wally governments and they say that improve because it's not one or another government. it's all governments of israel, a more vicious, even more vicious, is a continuous could been supported by the end united states of ministrations, democrats, as well as republicans. so this is in the book,

receive dimensional community in and as i said, well i'm actually off d, a america administrator. since and there are many reasons for that. reasons doesn't mean that they are, they are legitimate reasons or excuse this to be more precise. and then this is something that they lament, and of course i cannot accept. and i surely hope that the in the international community will wake up and say to the state of israel doesn't matter which government to stop. because this is the interest of the all hedge, and by the way, it is of course quite merrily. the interests and delight. who said that the nation and justice of the palestinian people as they all. but it is also the interest of the is the emmys in the middle east and the world of the court. and they, i hope that someone will wake up very soon and change it. all right, thank you very much for your thoughts and analysis on that. thank you.

plenty more sell ad on the news hour, including we look at which side will come off worst as the e u imposes an embargo and russian coal south korea's heaviest rainfall in a century kills at least 9 people. forecast point to more rain ahead. another game and another milestone for this japanese baseball superstars. joe will have his boy in the sharon a crane says russian shelling has killed 11 people and they didn't put up what's region overnight. meanwhile, though, a multiple explosions in russian control crimea on tuesday, local authorities say one person was killed and 5 injured in the blast. the russian defense ministry says the explosion was caused by the destination of ammunition and not an attack. for more on this let spring in john hendrick,

he is in the ukrainian capital for ascii of so some different statements, shall we say about what happened in crimea, what we know about these explosions. that's right, sammy, what we know is just what we are told because crimea is deep in russian territory. russia says it was an accident, apparently an explosion of some ammunition that was stored there. but we have also heard reports that there were multiple explosion. so perhaps one set off another and there was a chain reaction. ukrainian official says say it wasn't them. they say it could have been a sabbath tour, but it's unlikely that it would be ukraine. and that's because crimea was one of the 1st areas that russia seized in 2014, there hasn't been active fighting there. there's not a ukrainian military presence there. so it is likely that it could have been

something like what russia says it is. that's not an area where we have been seeing shelling or explosions. there were no signs of missiles coming in. it's, it sounds like from the videos that we've been able to see the explosion just spontaneously occurred. so it could be that the russians simply had some kind of accident, but we really can't know. also there's been a lot of international concern about that nuclear power plants and support a zisha and the understanding emerging about how to secure it. absolutely. i did talk to the head of an air, go at home, a man named petro coating. he is the president of that company and that company owns that nuclear power plant and they're ukranian. employees are operating it, but it's behind the russian military lines. and he says that russia has mind around

that site so that ukrainians can't come in. he says they have been firing from that side. he says they are storing the military vehicles inside the buildings right next to the reactors, including explosives. he says they've taken over the underground bunkers where employees would go if there was a radiation leak. and he says that he believes that the russians are the ones that are responsible for the shelling at the site. and he thinks what they're trying to do is sever all of the connections to ukraine. there are 4 power connections to the ukrainian nuclear power system. he says they've already severed 3, there's only one that remains connected and you said you thinks what they're trying to do is connect to this system in crimea, which russia controls. and he says that could cause some serious problems. here's a quote from him explaining exactly what could happen, the damage the lion switch as applied to his equal in power system. and this is

where dangerous right now all of these nuclear power plant has organ and connected only by landline to, to, to the system. and this is a risk or for losing the external power to the plan. and it is dangerous because the village is blocked out more of a certain diesel generators. and if they stop, then you will have like melting of a nuclear core. that is petro critique, the president of an air, go a tom's, the company that owns the origin nuclear plant. and he's just what they want to happen here is they want the region around the power plant to be declared a demilitarized zone. and he wants the international atomic energy agency to come in and take over that plan under the current plan. russia says it will allow the

e a inspectors to go in. but the coaching says he doesn't know how that's going to work because those i a inspectors would have to go through the front lines throughout 50 checkpoints, and that would be extremely dangerous. and in the end, it would all be under russian control. so he's asking for this to become an international demilitarized zone. russia so far has said it's going to continue to control that area. all right, thanks so much for the update. now as of tuesday, wednesday rather european union member states can no longer import cold from russia . it's part of a 5th sanctions package on moscow to cope with the hard turn away from russian energy. you countries assessing power consumption caps or before the war. russia supplied 40 percent of europe's gas. replacing that, just before the northern winter is nearly impossible. in july, you energy ministers agreed

a voluntary plan to cut the gas emissions or consumption rather by 15 percent starting in august. the ear says if it's fully cut off from russian gas this winter, it could hit member states economies. by as much as 1.5 percent of g d p. for more on the u, coal embargo, let's speak to dominic cain, those outside a power plant in berlin. so what will that mean for places like the one behind you? the interesting thing is the place behind me this. this cuffed high cut feck up, stuck in the middle of berlin. will they got out all the dependence on russian coal earlier this year. they saw metaphorically the right thing on the wall as far as they were concerned, and they divest themselves of a dependency on russian coal. that just had a consignment of coal sent to them. it's being unloaded right now. crucially, it's not russian coal, and the same applies right across the you. now, snowy you,

country should be bringing in coal from russia, sauced from russia, but to a certain extent, both here in germany and across the u. that's the easiest of the fossil fuels supported from russia to do away with the ones that are much hard to do away with oil and of course gas. we know that the declares ambition from the e u and from the, from the germans, is to get rid of dependency on oil by the end of the year. but getting rid of that dependency on gas is much more difficult. and we've already heard here in berlin on wednesday that several different large main gas providers in germany has said they're going to be hiking their prices for residential uses of gas in the coming autumn, full season by a very considerable amount. so while there's no question that you leaders who will be saying how important it is to get out of these fossil fuels, sorry,

gas is concerned, it's very hard. all right, thanks so much dominant came the spanish government has announced planned blackouts and thermostat regulations as part of its voluntary consumption costs. but local say it's too hot to comply. the harding has more it has been a sweltering summer in madrid. but as temperatures have sort, so to has the cost of fuel. so the spanish government has mandated that offices and stores cannot set their cooling system below 27 degrees celsius. in an area dependent on tourism, locals are afraid to heat waves and crack down on energy could scare visitors away . even if we get to the futures going to be impossible, because now we are 18 degrees in sight. if we go up to $27.00 degrees, we're going to be sweating all day. we won't need to go to the gym the for just

give out a lot of heat and the customers are going to complain. nobody's going to come in. but the spanish government has already agreed with the other european union countries to cut dependency on russian gas by 15 percent. by the end of the year. they will just do that. we have to comply with the agreements we have reached in brussels. that's what i said, and the money spain also has a commitment of solidarity with the rest of europe in countries. each country is free to choose the way in which we'll meet that commitment to cut energy use here in spain. that includes turning off the light perhaps other measures need to be found because i don't know up to what point turning off a shop window, display light is going to make much sabern that shop have to turn off window lights after 10 pm. however, street lighting will not be affected when i didn't know, but why would visitors come? because when you go out for a walk, what you want to see is joy soon. we won't have light. so if you decide to come to

here and everything is switched off, you're going to ask yourself, what's the point? the measures be reversed in winter when regulations will prohibit indoor areas, not to be warmed above 27 degrees. leah harding al jazeera, the u. k. is also sweating over possible energy, short falls this winter. the government says it's prepared to knock some heads together during crisis talks with energy company bosses on thursday. and paul brand joins us now live with more, so they're talking about possible power cost. is this just an exercise or is the u . k actually heading for some blackouts? it well certainly it's a modeling paper that's been produced by the government and, and leaked to bloomberg. and what it says is that if a gas shortage in the cold months of january coincides with a particularly cold snap of weather, that the maximum that the british generating capacity could put out in electricity

would only meet around 85 percent of electricity demand. so a shortfall of around 15 percent. what would the response of that be? well, clearly the, it would have to be rationing or some kind of other measures to limit the availability. it would be highly unlikely that it would be domestic customers that would feel the impact of that more likely industrial customers. the government says this is a reasonable worst case scenario. it's certainly the paper says that although government minister is doing the broadcast rounds of the media this morning, playing down, the likelihood of it actually materializing saying simply that the government has to look at. busy possibilities as to say what is materializing at the moment is an almighty war of words over exactly how the government is responding to the increase in energy prices. here in the u. k. energy. as a privatized market, there are individual private companies to provide gas and electricity, and the price is going to go up from what was around $7.00 well or around. 70

pounds. sorry, let me, let me put it this way. it's going from is currently 100 pounds in january, it could be as high as $215.00 pounds. so more than 100 percent increase in price and the government of course to go forest johnson who still sitting in downing street. but he's a lame duck prime minister, and the 2 candidates vying to be his successor wishes to knock and lives trust. both of them not willing to come together and agree a plan of action. now they're saying that they want to wait until the leadership contest is over before they announced any kind of policies. and there's a lot of angst, both from consumer groups and from the energy companies themselves. but the clock is ticking on this and important decisions on not being made. as you said, on, on thursday tomorrow, the business secretary and the chancellor of the exchequer will meet with energy companies. what will come out to that? who nurse, but there is

a lot of pressure to get some answers. thanks so much for the out. they pull brenda phil i had on al jazeera, we have more stories on the energy shortage in other parts of the world. anger in bangladesh after a dramatic increase in the price of fuel. a huge fire and all that hose contain, but cubans energy crisis far from over and it's rolled. we look back on one of the great tenants who is serena williams and out this whole time and ah, with hello the extreme heat warning for england wealth has been extended into sunday. now temperature is getting into the mid thirty's course parts of the southern england. and wales ahead of that, we are looking at sir, plenty of very, very

a warm weather, lots of hot sunshine, high pressure in charge. and we're going to see that strong sunshine bursting through. it's a go through the next day or so. i'm hopeful into the early part of next week. we will see a little bit of weight, but just pushing across northern parts of france, some showers there, hopefully standing into those a drought hip parts of southern england as well. we have to wait and see plenty of showers across eastern parts of europe, some wet weather, any heat as well across much of europe. and we will see those temperatures just rising for those western areas. as we go on through the next couple of days. high, 34, southwest france into the high, 32. it was a good part of spain. and that he surging further north, which as we go on into the we can 30 to celsius in london, could be about $35.00 for the west in a bristol. so as we gone through the next couple days, lots of hot weather, then showers longest bells of rain around western parts of russia down across the balkans, down towards the southern parts of europe. one or 2 showers there into southern areas of italy,

but staying very dry to the north. ah ah. ah.

safe then he'd been home and then international anti corruption excellence award boat. now for your hero. oh, i know you're watching out 0 time to recap all headlines there have been. busy protesting harm to be occupied, westbank and east jerusalem after israeli forces killed a senior commander of the palestinian group loc. some authors brigades that have been multiple explosions as nat base and russian controlled crimea. the local authorities say one person was killed and 5 injured in the bomb. the russian defense ministry says the explosion was caused by the destination of ammunition and

not an attack. the european union back on the russian. coal starts on wednesday, part of sanctions in response to the war in ukraine. you expect the coal band will cost russia $4400000000.00 a year. the white house says us president joe biden was not given advance notice of the f. b. i such a former president donald trump's florida home federal agents and to trumps mar logo residence amongst day monday night. the white house says the justice department, conduct investigations independently. trump and some republicans in congress have put the department under pressure, saying it should explain the basis for the search. mike, hannah has more from washington the department of justice and the f. b. i are remaining time left on this. they have declined to make any comment whatsoever. we

have got some information from one of trump's own lawyers. she was actually at the floor, the mention when the search took place. and she does confirmed that the warranted dealt with articles that had gone missing or couldn't be found when then president trump left the presidency, taking a large number of material with him. tomorrow. lago, this warrant there, remain sealed. so is not accessible to the public, but all indications saw that this is dealing with material that then president trump took with them when he left the white house. now we do know that earlier this year, the department of justice personnel went to speak with donald trump at morrow laga discussing the matter of these missing documents or the documents that trump took within. so they didn't, at that stage, did take away a number of cases of documents, but it would appear that they did not take all and what the 3rd was about,

it would appear in the course of the past 24 hours. was those missing trove of documents that they still could not account for? votes being counted in kenya's closely for presidential election. turnouts is expected to be around 60 percent. the front runners are former prime minister. i low dinner deputy president william ruth ho, catherine sawyer reports from get on the in central, kenya. voters arrived early to cast their ballots. technical and logistical problems were reported at some pulling stations. where does will come out? well as expected and every 100 who to increase but overall voting went smoothly. members of the messiah community wore their traditional clothing as they waited patiently line. i'm expecting that is i, there is going to be peace that people of gonna are going to a let lead us of their choice. they lead us that they know they are going to

eventually the economy of this country. deputy president william router voted in his home county in the rift valley. he's one of the front runners for the presidency. i feel very good that after so many months of campaigning and like leaking to the people of kenya and failing our agenda. and our manifesto and having discussions across the country this morning. it's d d. he's rival opposition leader. i low dingo voted at appalling station in nairobi, accompanied by scores of supporters, outgoing president who kenyatta voted in central kenya. after falling out with his deputy kenyatta has back to dingo to succeed him, leave your selection will be free and clear. it is every, every canyon's hope that that is the way it shall be. do you also?

absolutely. ah, some analysts say canyon's want politicians to focus on issues like the economy. most of the people we have spoken to share the same concerns. the cost of living is very high. people have no jobs. they're worried about corruption. they hope their new leadership will make things better. the high cost of living. it is something that it attendance had you, this and being jobless, lest you in the don't have any company. we want them to improve one economy, financially, hospital and even fraud. we needed those things. those are necessity in life. kenya has a history of election balance this year, voters, they, they hope the outcome of the polls reflect the true will of the people, catherine soil, all jazeera nairobi. malcolm way of is that one of the count voting centers in

nairobi relatively peaceful compared to the past so far. right now. votes are initially tallied. constituency italy sense is like this one before being forwarded on to the national tally center. but it's at this stage in the past, the evidence is emerged of irregularities and it's reports or perceptions of irregularity that this stages lead in the past to unrest and violence. now with me, the room goes house and is the executive director of amnesty international in kenya . how's the process going so far? so far? you know, we had a very low turn out yesterday left and 50 percent and a number of critical when constituencies. so it's still nerve biting in that sense in terms of what does that mean? and the of course, as you've mentioned, the neck and neck, we also saw a number of incidents of violence of applications between the opponent and some cases, even candidate. and they're supportive. so it's early days yet,

but i think as you said, this is the moment in which questions are on the integrity of elections, usually merge and they become triggers for post election violence and disturbance. and the fact that the votes counted so far so that it could be a very close race. was the implication of that? well, it doesn't mean that you know, that it's not clear who has won this election even at this very early stage. so we'd like to see the next 24 hours be very nerve wracking for the candidates and their supporters. but hopefully we will be able to keep peace across the different podium stations or the telling them to which the results are coming. which part of the country you keeping an eye on? are you concerned on regarding human rights abuses? well there were 7 counties that were problematic during the campaign and then what we saw yesterday is particularly what year which had gunfire at some point. and in mombasa, we saw a number of candidates physically fold each other. and in one case in, i think,

believe as western kenya, we saw a member of parliament who was trying to reclaim his seat, actually remove a weapon and shoot the aid of one of his opponents. he's now left the country and believably in uganda, on the wrong to people have been killed and dozens injured during heavy rains and flash flooding in sudan. at least 2000 homes have been destroyed in the river nile state. the rain also cut off the main highway connecting the state to cartoon. hebert morgan has more from khartoum. while several villages and river now stayed specifically in the county of berber, have been submerged as a result of heavy rains. many villages have reported having hundreds of homes being destroyed, some families being forced out to be displaced from their homes to either mosques or schools to seek refuge because their homes have been destroyed by the water. now this is something that happens annually,

many villages and many states inter dan during the a rainy season face, so to flood flash, flood, and flooding from the river nile. many people have said that repeatedly said that they wanted the government to take action, especially during the winter season. and the government itself has issued warnings . 2 of those living by the mail, telling them that they are expecting heavy rain this year. and therefore, people along the mouth should try to move to distress, to avoid losing their property and losing their lives. and the rents have not only affected river now state since the beginning of the rainy season. in june, at least 12 people have been killed. most of them in the western region of therefore, where flash floods have destroyed hundreds of homes as well and people they are being displaced once again after being displayed by conflicts. now facing displacement because of rains and floods. are clean up is underway and south korea's capital so half to record breaking. rain and flash floods killed at least 9 people. the heaviest down falls and more than 100 years turn roads into rivers from

mcbride has more from sol across the city of sole and in the surrounding province. the cleanup continues from these unprecedented reigns at streets and roads turned into rivers. vehicles washed away and sadly lives lost. some people caught in their apartments by rapidly rising water. other people simply swept away. there were predictions that sol would get up to around $300.00 millimeters. all the rain fall at the start of this week. up until wednesday morning, some parts of the city have recorded well over 500 millimeters. and as the rains continue, fir, the south. some provinces, south of soul can expect to further 300 millimeters of rain as this week continued . here on the han river, this double deck of bridge is a good indicator of the amount of flooding here the lower carriage way. it's designed that it becomes merged when the hon floods. now, while the waters have receded some water, it's still well under water,
